Elf: Rewriting the script, starting with Black Stocking Hanako

Jiang Chuan's heart tightened, but he immediately put on a gentle and harmless smile (though the other party might not be able to see it) and controlled Pidgey to stop steadily.

My mind started racing, preparing to craft some more... no, I mean, to share some more "ancient tales" with this lonely behemoth friend.

However, the giant Dragonite did not press further about its companions.

Its enormous, ridge-like tail, almost completely hidden in the thick fog and seawater, twitched slightly.

It's just a tiny bit at the very tip of its tail, seemingly flicking casually in the seawater.

A small object, enveloped in soft water vapor, flew out of the seawater, pierced the mist, and flew precisely towards Jiangchuan.

The speed is not fast, and the force is gentle.

Jiang Chuan instinctively reached out and caught it.

It feels slightly cool to the touch, with a moisturizing sensation reminiscent of seawater.

When I opened my palm, I saw that it was an empty conch shell about the size of my palm.

Here... take this.

The giant Dragonite emitted a gentle mental fluctuation once more, this time carrying a clear, clumsy friendliness.

It's special. In the future... if you ever encounter my companions, or... sense where they might be...

Call to it. With that kind of "heart." I can hear you. I will...come and see you soon.

Jiang Chuan held the magical conch shell, his heart trembling.

This is equivalent to... a "friend summoner" for a super ancient giant Dragonite?

The kind that's available whenever you need them?

The giant Dragonite continued to convey its message:

Also... if you encounter a serious danger that you can't handle yourself... you can try blowing it.

I like you, human. You are gentle and your thoughts are pure, unlike some humans I've sensed from afar... who are not so good.

From now on... we can be considered friends, right?

Jiang Chuan understood instantly.

This was not just a gift from a giant Dragonite on a whim.

With the successful completion of the "Successfully communicated with the ancient life form" mission, the system reward of "Dragonite racial affinity increased by 100%" has officially taken effect!

With its inherent aura of being a "friend of nature" and the sincere communication through the power of aura, this ancient dragonite, which had been lonely for countless years, regarded Jiangchuan, with whom it had just met and had a friendly exchange, as a trustworthy "friend".

A friend who can summon an ancient, giant Dragonite to help?

Who the hell would refuse that?!

It's like a divine weapon descending from the heavens... no, a dragon-level cheat code!

"Of course!" Jiang Chuan replied without hesitation, his voice filled with genuine sincerity, a genuine smile on his face. "We're definitely friends! I'm so glad to be your friend!"

He shook the conch shell in his hand: "This gift is so precious, thank you! I will take good care of it!"

"Hmm." The giant Dragonite conveyed a simple yet pleasant thought, its massive body seemingly relaxing somewhat in the mist.

Well... I'll continue browsing.

It slowly turned around, preparing to merge back into the thick fog and the deep sea.

But after taking two steps, he tilted his head slightly and added:

Having dinner with Mom...it was nice. Going back...I'll eat more. My friend.

Having said that, its mountain-like form silently sank into the depths of the thick fog, its presence swiftly fading away until it finally disappeared.

Jiang Chuan held the still slightly warm conch shell, looked at the empty sea of ​​fog, and chuckled to himself.

Having dinner with Mom?

It actually took that made-up excuse to heart.

However... this feeling of being clumsily cared for by ancient life is actually quite nice.

"Pidgey, let's go back."

Jiang Chuan put away the conch shell and patted the Pidgey bird.

Pidgey chirped merrily and carried him swiftly back to the lighthouse.

On the top floor of the lighthouse, the door to the research lab was suddenly pushed open.

"Jiangchuan!"

Xiaoxia was the first to rush over, her eyes still red. She grabbed Jiang Chuan's arm without hesitation, looking him up and down, her voice trembling with fear and tears: "Are you alright? Are you hurt? That big guy didn't do anything to you, did he? You scared me to death!"

Hanako quickly approached as well. Although she was calmer than Kasumi, her eyes were filled with the same deep worry and concern. She looked at Jiang Chuan gently to make sure he was safe and sound.

Zheng Hui followed behind, scratching his head, his face full of "curiosity" and "desire for knowledge". But seeing the two girls' attitude, he wisely swallowed back all the questions he had about Dragonite for the time being.

He chuckled awkwardly, "Well... Jiang Chuan, it's good that you're alright! Your safe return is the most important thing! As for the research... we can talk about it tomorrow! You guys should rest first!"

After saying that, he very "sensibly" slipped out of the research room and gently closed the door behind him.

Hanako carefully examined Jiang Chuan and, after confirming that he hadn't even scratched his skin, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She smiled gently and patted Xiaoxia on the shoulder: "Alright, Xiaoxia, Jiangchuan is back safe and sound, isn't he? Don't worry too much."

She could tell that Xiaoxia's emotions had gone through a lot of ups and downs, and now that the tension had eased, she was finding it hard to control herself.

Sure enough, Xiaoxia's eyes reddened even more. She gripped Jiang Chuan's arm tightly, looked up at Jiang Chuan's face so close to hers, her lips moved as if she had a lot to say, but it all stuck in her throat.

Finally, she took a deep breath, turned to Hanako, her voice trembling slightly yet firm:

"Hanako-nee... I... I'd like to talk to Egawa alone, is that alright?"

Hanako nodded knowingly, her gaze sweeping gently over the two of them.

"Of course. You two have a good chat."

She gave Jiang Chuan a look that said, "Take good care of him," then turned and left the research room, gently closing the door behind her.

Only Jiang Chuan and Xiao Xia remained in the room.

Xiaoxia didn't let go of Jiang Chuan's arm; instead, she pulled him along and walked out without saying a word.

Jiang Chuan didn't ask any questions and let her pull him along.

Xiaoxia pulled Jiang Chuan directly to her guest room, closed the door, and locked it.

Then, she turned around, leaned against the door, and looked up at Jiang Chuan.

Her eyes were red-rimmed, and there were still wet tears on her eyelashes, but her gaze was unusually bright and firm, even with a kind of resolute determination.

The thrilling scene just now, the image of Jiang Chuan rushing headlong into the giant shadow in the thick fog, and the warning from Hanako's words "completely missed" collided violently in her heart, finally completely shattering all her hesitation and restraint.

She was afraid.

I'm afraid that, just as Hanako-san said, because of my cowardice and procrastination, I might really "miss out completely" in a similar or even more dangerous moment.

She doesn't want that!

"Jiang Chuan, you bastard, don't do this again!" Xiaoxia's voice wasn't loud, but it was crystal clear.

"What if something happens to you...?"

"I...I've fallen for you. I don't want anything to happen to you!"

"Huh?" Jiang Chuan was stunned. He never expected Xiaoxia to confess at this time.

There was no preamble, no detours.

Straight ball.

The most sincere and passionate feelings were laid bare before him.

Jiang Chuan looked at the girl's flushed yet determined face and her slender body that trembled slightly but tried to straighten up, and a soft spot in his heart was gently touched.

He didn't say anything, but stepped forward and gently wiped away the tears that were about to fall from the corners of her eyes.

The movements were gentle.

This action seems to be a signal.

Xiaoxia tiptoed, closed her eyes, and, somewhat clumsily yet incredibly bravely, pressed her lips to Jiang Chuan's.

Warm and soft.

The taste was slightly salty, tinged with tears, and sweet, unique to a young girl.

Raw yet passionate.

Jiang Chuan paused for only a moment before reaching out to wrap his arms around her slender, supple waist, pulling her even closer into his embrace.

He lowered his head, taking the initiative and deepening the kiss.

"Ugh...!"

Xiaoxia gave a soft hum, her body stiffening at first before completely softening. Her arms instinctively wrapped around Jiang Chuan's neck, responding awkwardly.

Only the faint sound of water and increasingly heavy breathing remained in the room.

For a long time, the lips are divided.

Xiaoxia's cheeks were as red as ripe apples, her eyes were moist, and she was breathing softly against Jiang Chuan's chest.

She could feel the changes in Jiang Chuan's body, her heart was pounding, yet she also felt a strange sense of "I knew it."

That big pervert...

After a kiss, you really have to start thinking about the next step...

However... she was willing.

They said nothing and tacitly agreed.

Encouraged, Jiang Chuan began to do mischief.

But then Xiaoxia suddenly felt a jolt of excitement!

What she wore today... was the most daring one...

Jiang Chuan seemed to have also noticed the unusual nature of the fabric.

He stepped back slightly and looked down.

That's not your average pure cotton square-toed jacket.

But...

The delicate and intricate lace pattern even features a small section of semi-transparent tulle edge.

Jiang Chuan's eyes darkened, and his Adam's apple bobbed.

Xiaoxia followed his gaze and looked down. She immediately cried out in surprise, feeling so ashamed that she wanted to disappear. She raised her hand to cover Jiang Chuan's eyes.

"Don't look! Don't look! It's so embarrassing!"

She didn't expect to be discovered so quickly!

Jiang Chuan let her cover her eyes and chuckled softly.

His voice was magnetic, making Xiaoxia's palms itch.

"It's beautiful," he said honestly. "I really like it."

I not only love the sexy style, but I also love the sentiment behind her wearing this "battle outfit" for herself.

"Really...really?" Xia's hand covering his eyes loosened unconsciously, her voice barely audible, filled with uncertain shyness.

She slowly lowered her hand, met Jiang Chuan's smiling eyes, and gave a shy yet slightly smug snort: "Hmph! You really are a pervert! You just like watching this kind of... lewd stuff!"

"But wasn't it you who wore it?" Jiang Chuan raised an eyebrow and teased, "Did you wear it specifically for me?"

Xiaoxia trembled, biting her lip, and muttered softly, "It...it was just for you...I was thinking before, just in case...just in case there's a chance..."

Her voice grew softer and softer as she spoke, and her face turned redder.

This was even more direct than the previous confession; it was practically an open declaration.

"Oh? Really? You've put so much effort into this..." Jiang Chuan's smile deepened.

"Then...should I properly 'repay' this kindness?"

"Ugh~!" Xiaoxia's body went limp, and she almost couldn't stand up. She relied entirely on Jiang Chuan's embrace.

Her eyes sparkled with tears, clearly she was incredibly shy, yet she still forced a haughty tone: "Today... just today, you're lucky! I'm in a good mood, I'll satisfy you, I'll make you horny."

She paused, her voice even softer but more pointed: "After that... it all depends on how you perform!"

These words are the most direct invitation and encouragement.

"Alright, my little princess." Jiang Chuan chuckled and scooped her up in his arms. "I'll give you your 'performance' right away."

"Ah!" Xiaoxia exclaimed, instinctively wrapping her arms around his neck.

The next second, she was gently tossed onto the soft bed.

The mattress sagged slightly.

Jiang Chuan then covered her, enveloping her beneath him.

Eyes facing each other.

You can hear their breathing.

The air was thick with hormones and a passionate atmosphere.

Xiaoxia looked up at Jiang Chuan's handsome and aggressive face, which was so close to her, and her heart pounded with a mixture of nervousness and anticipation.

She slowly closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.

It is both tacit consent and an invitation.

Jiang Chuan no longer hesitated, lowered his head and kissed her lips again...
