Chapter 81 Cynthia: I Came for You (310, Please Subscribe!!)

"Oh, right, this is an apology."

Xia Chi beckoned the dream demon behind him to take out the items.

"Miyo~"

Misdreavus placed the bag with its sideburns curled up on the table, then looked curiously at Glaceon.

It's an elf I've never seen before; I wonder what fear feels like to it.
Sensing a malicious gaze, Ice Eevee immediately stared back.

The terrifying pressure brought by the overwhelming power made the Dream Demon catch its breath, as if the air around it had become viscous.

Cynthia frowned and shouted, "Ice Cloth!"

Hearing the trainer's reprimand, Glaceon calmed down and continued to curl up in the chair next to it.

"Sorry, I scared it."

Cynthia looked at the clearly startled Dream Demon with gentle eyes: "What a lovely child."

Xia Chi said nonchalantly, "It's alright, scaring it a little is good, so it won't be naive."

After that four-in-a-row victory, the Dream Demon did indeed become a bit arrogant.

In Xia Chi's battle log from the past few days, he saw that Xia Chi and Tire Meow had gone to fight level 40 Pokémon.

It's good that Glaceon suppressed it; it'll let Misdreavus know that there's an opponent in this world that it can't defeat even with 1000 stacks of [Nether Mark].

After recalling the terrified Glaceon back into its Poké Ball, Xia Chi opened the bag and placed a box of ice cream in front of Cynthia.

"Try it? This is as an apology for being late."

Although Xia Chi couldn't see Cynthia's eyes because of the sunglasses, he couldn't see her expression.

But you could tell from her restless little hands on the table that the gift was the right one.

"No, it's not your fault. I didn't take the time difference into account and only told you the time before boarding the plane."

Cynthia tapped her long index finger lightly on the table, her eyes behind her sunglasses glancing at the ice cream.

Xia Chi, a master of interpreting body language, understood it instantly.

I really want to eat it, but since I don't have a good enough reason, it wouldn't be appropriate to eat it like this.
Xia Chi found it amusing and went even further, taking out all the ice cream from the bag.

She deliberately said, "Don't you like vanilla? I also bought other flavors: strawberry, dark chocolate, rum raisins, and Alolan nuts."

Cynthia tapped her index finger on the table more rapidly, and unconsciously rested her chin on her right hand as if deep in thought.

Which one should I choose?
Cynthia's hidden trait triggered: Ice Cream Choice Dilemma!
Xia Chi, the culprit, tried his best to suppress his laughter, but suddenly felt as if he was being watched by a dangerous entity, and his body went cold.

Silently turning his head, he saw, sure enough, Glaceon was squinting at him with a cold, warning gaze.

You! Don't you dare flirt with my trainer again!
How dare you threaten me!
Xia Chi's competitive nature kicked in, and she turned to look at Cynthia, clearing her throat as she said, "Cynthia, don't choose anymore. Just try a little of each one, and give the rest to Glaceon."

"Fuyi!"

Ice Eevee glared at me angrily, "When did I say I wanted to eat ice cream?!"

Xia Chi feigned surprise and said, "Huh, don't you want it? You were staring at me like that just now, I thought you wanted to eat it too."

"Fuyi!"

Ice Eevee got even angrier. "You've misunderstood me!"
"Ice cloth!"

Cynthia stopped Ice Eevee, saying sternly, "Don't be so rude."

Glaceon lowered its head in grievance: "Foo-ee."

It was clearly that human who provoked them first.
Xia Chi chuckled, "Trying to play mind games with me."

Have you ever heard of the "Mi Lilong" fake "eating roar" strategy from the Thirty-Six Stratagems?

………………

"I haven't been here for several years, and Shanghai has changed a lot."

In the back seat of the taxi, Cynthia ate rum-flavored ice cream and gazed at the scenery outside the window, remarking with such emotion.

Xia Chi asked curiously, "Has Sister Zhu Lan visited Donghuang before?"

Cynthia nodded and said, "Yes, I spent a year studying in the Eastern Empire five years ago, and Milotic was captured in Shanghai."

"There's a connection to that."

Xia Chi laughed and said, "Then Milotic can be considered to have returned home." Cynthia always couldn't help but smile when she mentioned Pokémon.

"Yes, that's why I brought it with me this time."

She then asked, "Speaking of which, is the airspace over Shanghai now closed to sprites? I remember it was still open when I came here."

Xia Chi replied, "No, elves can fly, why do you ask that?"

Cynthia asked in confusion, "Then why didn't you ride a flying sprite to the airport? That would have been faster, wouldn't it?"

Xia Chi, having been touched on a sore spot, remained silent for two seconds before replying, "Because I didn't."

Cynthia exclaimed in realization, "Oh, so it can't fly."

Xia Chi: "."

Who are you insulting? Who are you insulting for not being able to fly?

Once I've caught a lot of Groudon, I'll ride it to your doorstep every day!

The driver in the front seat, listening to the two chatting, couldn't help but glance in the rearview mirror.

After confirming for a while, he cautiously asked, "Excuse me, are you Cynthia?"

Cynthia was used to this situation and replied skillfully, "It's me."

"It's really you!"

The driver exclaimed excitedly, "I'm your fan, goddess! I've been following you ever since the Lily of the Valley Challenge. Could I have your autograph?"

Cynthia calmly replied, "Okay, but don't leak my information. Also, please watch your surroundings while driving."

"Oh, alright."

The driver's emotions were calmed down, and he started driving with utmost concentration.

Just kidding, he could brag about being Cynthia's driver for the rest of his life!

We drove back to Xia Chi's house safely and without any problems.

The driver, delighted to receive the autograph, carefully put it away. Before parting, he leaned closer and whispered to Xia Chi, "Keep it up, brother. Try to make Xilona our Shanghai wife as soon as possible."

Xia Chi: "."

No, do all you drivers have such a good job?

The one on Mingchong Island last time was the same, and so are you.

She calls herself a Shanghai wife, but I'm more like a Shanghai auntie!
Silently complaining to himself, Xia Chi helped carry the luggage and led Cynthia upstairs.

"Speaking of which, Sister Zhulan, how long do you plan to stay in Donghuang?"

Inside the elevator, Xia Chi asked.

Cynthia hesitated for a moment, then said, "I came here mainly for you. We'll see, it shouldn't be too long."

"Hmm? Why is your face red? Let me see."

Seeing Xia Chi's inexplicably flushed face, Xilona asked worriedly, "Are you sick?"

Xia Chi waved her hand and said, "No, no, the elevator is a bit hot."

This is a lie.

He would never say that it was Cynthia's words "I came for you" that made him famous.

------

"I am back!"

Xia Chi shouted into the hall after entering the room.

Because she was in a hurry to leave, Xia Chi didn't take the sleeping Tilley with her, so that it could keep an eye on Yukira.

When I returned, they were indeed awake.

"Nya~"

Tire Cat, who was initially a little anxious about not seeing Xia Chi after waking up, happily ran over.

When it saw Cynthia following behind its trainer, Tyreemon immediately went on high alert.

Who is she?
