Monster Hunter: Farm Story Begins with Pokémon

Chapter 429 Reasons for liking (5k, supplement 6.12)
squeak~
The door leading to the swimming pool on the third floor was slowly opened.

When Huoya heard the voice, she turned around and saw the figure that had been haunting her.

Huoya smiled happily: "Welcome back~"

Huoya's smile seemed to have a special magic that could cleanse all the fatigue in Bai Zhen's heart.

Bai Zhen also smiled: "I'm back."

Huoya was wearing a white nightgown and a woolen shawl. She was sitting sideways on a white wool carpet. The temperature was low on the winter night, and she was wearing thick white tights on her legs.

The bright moonlight gently fell on Huoya's body, and she was as beautiful as a goddess under the moon.

Bai Zhen just saw the fire sprout, and his whole body and mind fell into an incomparable tranquility.

"She is indeed my spiritual haven."

Bai Zhen glanced at the tens of thousands of dollars worth of astronomical telescope in front of Huo Ya and asked, "Are you stargazing?"

"Well, the weather is very good today. There are no dark clouds in the sky. It's a perfect night for stargazing."

Bai Zhen walked forward slowly and looked up at the cloudless sky.

His private island is far away from the city. There are no other light sources on the island. The Milky Way in the sky can be clearly seen with the naked eye and is very beautiful.

Ever since I came back last time and talked to Huoya about the universe and planets, Huoya has been deeply attracted by the vast universe.

During this period, I have also been learning knowledge related to the universe.

"Do you want to stargaze together~?" Huoya patted her thigh, signaling Bai Zhen that he could lie down.

"Of course." Bai Zhen was naturally not polite at all. He walked to the soft wool carpet and lay on Huoya's soft thighs. The fragrance of just getting out of the bath drifted into his nostrils.

Huoya looked down at Bai Zhen on her lap and asked with concern, "Can you see the starry sky like this?"

“You can see that the scenery here is just right for me.”

Although he could only see half of the sky, it was the most beautiful scenery for him.

Huo Ya probably knew what Bai Zhen was talking about. Her pretty face turned red and she reached out to pinch Bai Zhen's nose, but she didn't push Bai Zhen away, which meant she tacitly agreed to this matter.

She raised her hand and gently stroked Bai Zhen's hair, and asked with concern: "Did you encounter any troubles in this mission?"

"It's not a big deal. This mission is even simpler than I thought. We encountered a dominant Infernal Spear Dragon deep in the volcano. Its rays are very dangerous to ordinary hunters. If you're not careful, you might be dissolved on the spot. But it's nothing to me. I transformed into a dual-attribute of water and fire, and can easily reduce the power of the ray to a quarter."

"That's because you are too strong now."

It can be said that Huoya grew stronger while watching Bai Zhen.

Five months ago, she was still training Bai Zhen to use various weapons, and she was still worried about whether Bai Zhen could hunt lower-level monsters, but now, Bai Zhen can easily complete the task of a three-star master.

"There are still many powerful monsters and Pokémon. I still have a long way to go to catch up with them."

Not long ago, Bai Zhen personally experienced the true power of Arceus, which was a height that humans could not reach. It was the true realm of gods. In front of that powerful force, he felt his own insignificance, just like looking up at the vast universe now.

Bai Zhen doesn't know how many beings in this world can be compared to Arceus, but as long as there is still a being that can easily take away everything he cherishes, he will not stop.

Bai Zhen took the initiative to share: "Speaking of which, I also met a very interesting princess this time."

"Princess?" Huoya instantly realized the key factor.

Bai Zhen nodded and talked to Huoya about Lingling.

He told Huoya 90% of the details about how he arrived in the Fire Nation and learned about the princess' marriage, what happened to the master hunter team afterwards, and some of the things that happened in the camp.

Of course, a small number of things were hidden, such as the nude shirt incident and some things that might cause misunderstandings, which Bai Zhen did not take the initiative to say.

If Huoya asked, he would definitely tell her, but if she didn't ask, telling her would definitely cause trouble, so it's better to have less trouble than more.

The more Huoya listened, the more she felt something was wrong.

How could I, while out on a mission, happen to run into the Fire Nation's princess looking for a partner?

And from Bai Zhen's description, the princess was the type that was very charming, both in appearance and personality.

The most important thing is, listening to Bai Zhen’s description, it is obvious that the princess has fallen in love with him, right?

Huoya saw Bai Zhen speaking so easily and realized that Bai Zhen didn't seem to realize this at all.

Huoya asked, "Do you have a photo of the princess?"

"Photos? If I take photos of something like that without asking for permission, I'll be considered a pervert, right?" Bai Zhen thought for a moment and said, "I don't have any photos, but for this mission, in order to prove my strength to Lord Sui Fengren, I recorded the battle scenes, so maybe they were filmed?"

Bai Zhen took out his Rotom phone and looked through the footage he had taken.

In total, he participated in only a few battles, one against the Explosive Hammer Dragon, one against the Upper-level Flame Dragon, and the final decisive battle.

Lingling was not captured in the first two battles, until the third decisive battle, when Lingling was finally captured.

“This was filmed.”

Bai Zhen handed the phone to Huoya, and Huoya clicked the play button.

When Huoya saw it, she couldn't help but move closer.

It turns out that the scene right from the start is about a hero saving a beauty!
When Bai Zhen kicked the Pengoron away, Rotom's phone rotated and took a picture at a different angle, just in time to capture Lingling's face.

Although he looked a little disheveled, it couldn't hide his exquisite face.

Even from the perspective of the dragon people's aesthetics, this princess can definitely be described as a beauty of heaven.

The video continued to play. When Bai Zhen handed the lollipop to Lingling and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely defeat him," Huoya, as a woman, could see the wavering emotions in Lingling's eyes at a glance.

Did you have a crush on her from that time on?
Huoya continued watching, Bai Zhen’s battle was still as exciting and unreasonable as ever.

When the Pengorosaurus brought Bai Zhen into the magma, the mobile phone captured the scene of Lingling chasing it to the lava, and the scene of Bai Zhen dragging the Pengorosaurus out of the magma.

Huoya was a little afraid to look at it.

She had already seen the admiration in the princess' eyes from the video.

At this time, Bai Zhen was still talking, "The princess is also very strong-willed. In order to repay her gratitude, she did a lot of things that led to misunderstandings."

slap~
Before Bai Zhen could finish his words, Huoya flicked Bai Zhen's forehead with her finger.

Huoya felt a little unfair for Lingling and said, "That's not a way of repaying a favor, it's a way of showing love~"

At this moment, Huoya felt empathy with the princess whom she had never met before.

"Signs of love?" Bai Zhen was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "That should be impossible. She herself admits that there is no way she likes me."

"Girls sometimes say one thing and mean another!" Huoya pinched Bai Zhen's face with dissatisfaction.

Seeing that Huoya didn't seem to be joking, Bai Zhen also seriously thought about the meaning of Huoya's words. He asked in confusion: "If you like someone, then what is the opportunity? There must be a reason for liking someone, right?"

"There are many reasons. For example, you saved her from the Pengelong. The plot of a hero saving a beautiful girl appears in many love stories."

"But, if we're talking about heroes saving beauties, shouldn't she like those brave Fire Nation warriors?" "Huh?" Huoya was slightly stunned and asked in confusion, "How could that be?"

Seeing that Huoya didn't believe it, Bai Zhen explained in great detail.

"You are imagining a person like this. When you meet this person, he denies you in every way and laughs at you. You hate him very much and want to kill him directly. But one day when you are in danger, this person suddenly appears and saves you. Will you be tempted?"

Huoya thought about it carefully and said, "I may not necessarily fall in love with him, but I will definitely have a certain change in my opinion of him, right?"

"What if there is such a person around you, who is a very gentleman and loves you very much. When you are in danger, he will take the initiative to stand in front of you to protect you. When your life is in danger, he will also let you escape first without hesitation, while he stays to fight for your chance to survive. If you were between these two people, which one would you like?"

Huoya thought about it carefully and said uncertainly: "Maybe I like the second person more?"

Bai Zhen snapped his fingers and said, "That's right! Any normal person would prefer the second type of people. To Lingling, I am the first type of person, and those warriors from the Fire Nation are the second type of people."

"Huh?" Huoya felt that what Bai Zhen said made sense, but at the same time she felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what it was. She tried to refute, "But some girls just like boys who look bad, don't they?"

"Bad boys are those who are confident and not bound by traditional concepts; they have a strong spirit of adventure and impulsive behavior, pursue excitement and innovation, and bring a strong sense of freshness to people; they are also very good at mobilizing women's emotions, which can cause women to have strong emotional fluctuations;

Moreover, this kind of man is full of mystery, which makes women unpredictable. At the same time, the feeling of being close yet distant gives people a strong sense of freshness; they are humorous, frank and direct, and they are also very romantic and creative in life. This is a bad boy.

Boys who are good at teasing others cannot be called bad men, just like the two boys Qukang and Guomi in our Yanhuo Village. Qukang likes Guomi, so he often teases Guomi, but doesn't Guomi hate Qukang? And would you like a man who teases you and makes you angry every day? "

Huoya thought about it carefully and said seriously: "I really don't like men who only make people angry."

"Really? I arrogantly denied the ideals and determination of the princess right from the start. I am thankful that she finally treated me as a friend, not to mention liking me."

Huoya discovered that according to Bai Zhen's logic, it was indeed impossible for Her Royal Highness the Princess to like Bai Zhen.

But she soon thought of something else, and said with a slightly jealous tone: "But didn't you take her to have a good time in the stratosphere later? Didn't the princess cry because of it? This is a very touching event for a girl, because it's normal to like you after such a thing, right?"

Huoya recalled her feelings for Bai Zhen. The event that made their relationship take a big step forward was the day when Bai Zhen took her to the bottom of the sea.

That day she saw the most beautiful scenery she had ever seen in her life, and she still remembers it vividly.

"But, my behavior can only be regarded as a kind of 'missionary behavior', right?"

"Missionary behavior?" This was the first time Huoya heard this term.

"Yes, just like when you watch a movie or anime that you really like and feel very moved, you will try to recommend this movie or anime to other people. This is missionary behavior.

Let me give you another simple example. It is like Ni Tai comes to you with a book one day and says that the book is very good and he hopes you can take a look. After you read it carefully, you find that the book is very touching and you shed tears. So, will you like Ni Tai because of this book? "

"Of course not." Huoya answered subconsciously without thinking, but she soon found that what Bai Zhen said seemed to make sense, "Huh? Wait. Eh~~? Did I really make a mistake?"

Huoya was suddenly confused.

If Bai Zhen's act of taking me to the bottom of the sea to see the scenery was a missionary act, then why did I like him even more?
Huoya's clever mind was a little confused for a moment.

At this time, Bai Zhen couldn't help but sighed quietly: "I'm just a lucky person. Anyone with my talent could do better than me. I don't have any special skills, so I won't be liked by Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Huoya was slightly stunned when she heard this.

She gently touched Bai Zhen's head, revealed a gentle smile and said: "You are not as bad as you say. In my eyes, you have always been the best and most powerful~"

She had discovered a long time ago that Bai Zhen had an excessive degree of humility in his character. It was not inferiority complex, but a kind of cautiousness.

It is true that Bai Zhen possesses amazing talents and God-given treasures that others do not have, but his bravery and diligence are the real source of his current strength.

Ever since she started training Bai Zhen, Bai Zhen has never stopped working hard. He has been training and practicing hard. Even if all the bones in his body are cracking, Bai Zhen has never slacked off.

This kind of perseverance and self-discipline is not a gift from God, but his true personal charm.

Behind this effort is a deep tenderness.

Bai Zhen can give everything, even his own life, for the people and things he likes.

Every time he cooks, he is obviously the one who works the hardest, but he is always the last one to start.

In order to save Honglong, he even risked his wounds getting infected and took out all his recovery medicine to save him.

He would also do things he was not good at in order to allow himself and Shuiyun and other people from the Flame Village to travel easily in the Pokémon world.

Thinking of this, Huoya pinched Bai Zhen's nose with some dissatisfaction and said: "Really, I almost got tricked by you~"

Huoya also figured it out.

The reason why I fell in love with Bai Zhen was not because Bai Zhen had taken me to the bottom of the sea or to Ziqin Town for a trip.

What she likes is Bai Zhen, who is brave and fearless, always looks forward, and is full of motivation no matter what kind of enemy he encounters.

What I like is Bai Zhen, who is never afraid of hard work and keeps working hard to achieve his goals even if he is so sore all over that he cannot get out of bed.

What I like is Bai Zhen, who treats all Pokémon equally and never regards the Pokémon as enemies even if they are hostile to him and hurt him.

If I really want to list the advantages I like, I'm afraid it will take too long to finish.

She really feels happy now, and she is very fortunate to have met the person she loves most in her life.

Huoya's smile was also very happy. She stroked Bai Zhen's hair and asked, "If that princess really liked you, what would you do?"

"If she really likes me? If that's the case, I think I would reject her very seriously."

"Then Her Royal Highness the Princess is so beautiful and has a good personality. Do you really want to refuse?"

“She is really good, but”

Bai Zhen was halfway through his words when he suddenly stopped talking.

"But?" Huoya asked curiously. She looked at Bai Zhen's facial expression expectantly. There was a hint of shyness in his expression.

Bai Zhen turned sideways, with his back to Huo Ya, and took a long time to answer: "But now I have someone I really like, and my heart can't accommodate anyone else."

bang bang bang~
Huoya's heart was moved violently. In the moonlight, she could vaguely see the love that was almost overflowing in Bai Zhen's eyes.

Bai Zhen calmed himself down, turned around, and prepared to return to the supine position he had just been in.

But the next second his eyes were covered by Huoya's hands.

"Why did you cover my eyes? I can't see."

"Wait, wait a minute! This isn't a very convenient time!"

Huoya's face was flushed all the way to her ears.

Really! He said something like that out of the blue, and I don't know how to face him!
Huoya calmed down for a long time, and when the heart-pounding feeling gradually subsided a little, she let go of the hands that were covering Bai Zhen's eyes.

Looking at Bai Zhen on his thigh.

Huoya has made up her mind at this moment.

According to Bai Zhen’s previous thoughts, he must have thought that I hadn’t fallen in love with him yet, so that’s why he hadn’t confessed to me, right?
Since he's not ready yet, let me confess my feelings to you.
Now is not the time to wait for the person you like to confess his or her feelings to you.

If one day some princess from the Fire Nation really shows up and gets there first, I will undoubtedly regret it to death!
