Back in the outside world, the intense light finally woke up the person on Xia Ye's back. Realizing the current situation, the latter panicked and chose to continue pretending to be asleep.

However, changes in breathing and heartbeat cannot be hidden from the other person, especially since their hearts are now very close together, and even the slightest change will be noticed.

Natsuno didn't say anything. After Marcia closed the entrance to the shadow, the group returned.

This time, Xia Ye carried Xiao Ya on his back, riding on the energy symbol bird maintained by Xiao Cai. Xiao Ya also felt her heartbeat quicken and her breathing become more rapid.

She then realized that this would only expose her weakness, and she became anxious. The more anxious she became, the faster her heart beat, and she was on the verge of tears.

Feeling his heart pounding against his back, Xia Ye finally laughed out loud and then patted Xiao Ya's back with the back of his hand.

Because of his posture, he could only use the back of his hand, but he didn't forget to use his superpowers to soothe the other person.

Hearing Xia Ye's laughter and feeling his movements, Xiao Ya instantly realized that Xia Ye knew she was pretending to be asleep, and her whole body turned red, her face turning red to the roots of her neck.

However, Natsuno's superpower of calming down was, after all, a trick produced by the system, and it was no joke. It quickly calmed the superpowered young lady down, and her heartbeat became steady.

Xiaoya calmed down and suddenly realized that Xia Ye had seen her in all sorts of embarrassing situations, and she suddenly felt a little ashamed and indignant.

He opened his mouth and bit down on Natsuno's right shoulder.

"Hiss... Let go, let go! Are you a puppy? You're biting me!"

Natsuno was caught off guard. He never expected that his patient attempt to soothe her with his superpowers would result in a deep bite mark on her shoulder, leaving him feeling terrible.

Having vented her anger, Cattleya gave a soft hum, shifted her body slightly, and rested her head on Natsuno's left shoulder again.

Natsuno was worried that the young lady would let go, so he didn't dare to loosen his grip and kept holding Xiaoya from behind to prevent her from falling.

Feeling the gentle breeze around her and seeing Xia Ye trying to hold her back so she wouldn't fall, Xiao Ya felt very happy.

However, as the saying goes, excessive joy leads to sorrow. For some reason, Xiaoya suddenly had the image of Zhulan smiling at her in her mind.

The smile on her face froze instantly. Cattleya seemed to hear Zhu Lan's question in her ear: 'Why did you do this with Natsuno?'

"no!"

Xiaoya blurted out, seemingly in response to someone, which drew Xia Ye's attention, who looked on in confusion: "What is it not?"

Of course, since Xiaoya was resting her head on Xia Ye's left shoulder, Xia Ye was worried that if he turned his head, he might accidentally kiss her, and then he would be in big trouble.

So he didn't dare to make any big moves, he just glanced at the scene from the corner of his eye.

Xiaoya realized her lapse in composure and noticed Xia Ye's actions. She quickly shrank her head behind Xia Ye to prevent him from seeing the expression on her face.

The voice was a little muffled: "No, it's nothing, you're just hallucinating."

Natsuno straightened his head and successfully completed the shrug this time: "Okay."

As Xiaoya felt the reassuring aura and body temperature emanating from Xia Ye, she thought of Zhu Lan again.

A sudden pang of emotion welled up in her nose, and the emotions in her eyes could no longer be suppressed, turning into tears that dripped onto Xia Ye's back.

A sob sounded, startling Natsuno who was staring at the clouds high in the sky. He turned his attention back to the person behind him.

Looking to the side, all I could see was the top of a head.

The delicate body behind her trembled slightly, and a patch of her clothes on her back was quickly soaked with tears. Xia Ye felt inexplicably flustered: "What's wrong?"

However, the person behind him didn't answer, their tone somewhat stubborn: "Nothing! Watch where you're going!"

Xiaoya let go of his hand at this moment, and Xia Ye was startled. He reached behind her and hugged her tightly again.

The next second, Xiaoya hugged Xia Ye tightly again, making Xia Ye feel even more uneasy.

Sure enough, a few seconds later, Xiaoya spoke in a very cold tone: "Let go!"

She has decided to leave the two of them, and now is not the right time to do so.

Natsuno immediately objected: "You think you can just loosen your grip like that? I won't!"

Chapter 527 Winning the championship is not an easy job

Xiaoya hadn't expected that this would trigger Xia Ye's rebellious streak, and her eyes widened in surprise.

Natsuno's hands remained tightly around her back, ensuring the superpowered young lady wouldn't do anything reckless.

For some reason, he had a very strong premonition: the superpowered young lady was trying to run away again, and this time it was very likely that even Zhu Lan wouldn't be able to find her.

Although Xiaoya always bickers and teases him, which is very annoying, he has long been used to this way of getting along, since they have been like this since they were little.

The thought that Xiaoya seemed to be escaping to a place where no one could find her filled Xia Ye with a sudden, inexplicable panic that nearly overwhelmed him.

In a moment of inspiration, Xia Ye tightened his grip, causing Xiao Ya to cling tightly to him.

The latter slapped Natsuno's shoulder and arm hard, but to no avail.

Natsuno launched a new offensive: "Stop talking nonsense. We're in flight right now. How did you get your pilot's license? You don't know you can't do dangerous maneuvers!"

Xiaoya instantly lost all her previous emotions, completely overwhelmed by the absurdity in Xia Ye's words, and lost all control of her expression.

"What are you talking about? You, who haven't even taken any tests, are lecturing me, someone who's had a manufacturing pilot's license for several years?"

"Who gave you the audacity? Nobody told me you were researching how to take shamelessness to the extreme? You're not a genetic researcher, are you?"

Seeing that Xiaoya had indeed fallen for the trick, Xia Ye secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but didn't say anything.

"Then you're not even as good as someone like me who hasn't taken a pilot's test. At least I know all the safety precautions, but you've completely ignored them and still dared to let go? I'm going to report you and have your pilot's license revoked."

Xiaoya's eyes widened again, and Xia Ye chose to press her attack: "Why don't you tell me? I knew you bought your pilot's license."

Xiaoya laughed in exasperation. Although the provocation was a low-level tactic, she really couldn't ignore Xia Ye's blatant taunts.

He immediately began explaining some relevant flight safety matters to Xia Ye. It was quite remarkable that she could still remember them so clearly after passing her pilot's license test; she was probably really angry with Xia Ye.

After finishing her rambling explanation, Xiaoya looked at the speechless Xia Ye, raised her head to reveal her swan-like neck, and said, "Tch, you think you can test your auntie? Dream on!"

Not satisfied with that, she bit Natsuno's left shoulder, making the wicked researcher wince in pain.

Several seconds later, the superpowered young lady finally relented, looking at her masterpiece with satisfaction: "Symmetrical, fantastic!"

Xia Ye's interruption actually worked. Xiao Ya temporarily forgot about running away. After all, it was rare to see Xia Ye suffer such a setback, and she thoroughly enjoyed it.

Soon, the flight companions landed on the beach in Hinoki Town. Fuji was eager to run into town, but Natsuno reached out and grabbed him.

"Doctor, don't worry. High-level blocks are hard to buy. We can just have someone send a batch over."

After saying that, Xia Ye took out his phone and called A Jin: "A Jin, I need your help with something. Could you send me two hundred boxes of level 90 energy cubes?"

"I'm on the beach in Hinoki Town right now. It's not urgent, just arrange for me to be transferred here, I'll be very useful."

"Brother, what's the use of this? Tell me! Now I understand, being a champion isn't a good job!"

On the other end of the communication line, A-Jin sat in his office, looking at the mountains of documents piled up on both sides, feeling bitter inside.

Actually, after Natsuno created the shared polygon beast, the efficiency of handling alliance affairs also increased, so Arkin shouldn't have been so troubled.

However, a very serious girl was standing next to him, watching him intently: "Ah Jin! You can't just push all the tasks onto Polygon!"

"The multi-faceted beast can only offer suggestions; the real decisions are yours alone! You cannot delegate tasks to others!"

With an impeccable expression and a serious tone, it was Crystal who had just passed the test and become the new king of the capital.

Upon hearing Crystal's words, A-Jin's face grew even more distressed: "I know about the class representative, and I'm handling it very seriously right now..."

He was still on his phone communicating with Natsuno at that moment, and Natsuno overheard his words.

The latter chuckled inwardly: Class representative? Is that Crystal? I just received a message from Crystal a few days ago saying that she passed the Johto King's test.

With Crystal in charge, Akin probably won't do anything outrageous anymore, and the people of Johto are saved.

Then, attention returned to Akin's question. Considering that Ho-Oh was the legendary Pokémon of Johto, Natsuno thought for a moment and decided not to hide it and told him the truth.

Upon hearing Xia Ye's words, A Jin's eyes darted around rapidly, and he stood up.

"What? Big brother, you mean Phoenix King? As the champion of Johto, I absolutely cannot stand idly by when it comes to Phoenix King!"

"This time, I'll personally take charge, big brother, just wait for me!"

Ah Jin's face was full of righteousness, which left Crystal stunned.

Then Ajin looked at Crystal and said, "Big brother, I can't refuse your help. I'm entrusting the affairs here to you, class representative. I'll be back as soon as possible!"

As Ah Jin spoke, he was already walking out of the office. After saying the last word, he had completely disappeared, moving faster than teleportation.

Crystal wanted to say something, but then she saw a huge pile of documents on the table and glared angrily in the direction where Ah Jin had left.

He then had no choice but to take out his phone and open the Duobians Assistant app for help.

When Natsuno heard that Ajin was coming in person, his expression was a little strange: "Hey buddy, is it really worth it to send an energy cube?"

"It seems Crystal is keeping a close eye on this kid; he's even trying to find ways to run away."

Putting away his phone, Natsuno saw that the sun was high in the sky and that some people on the beach had already recognized him, so he quickly led his group away.

After Xiaoya and Xiaoya disguised themselves, they arrived at a restaurant. After lunch, they saw that Ajin was late.

Although Natsuno was disguised with a different face this time, Ajin still recognized him at a glance: "Big brother! Your aura is like a firefly in the dark, I saw it at a glance!"

Xia Ye was speechless: "When did you learn this flattery skill? This is not like you at all."

Ah Jin shook his head and sighed as he sat down in the seat next to him. He didn't pay much attention to the food and started eating right away.

"Big brother, you have no idea how much trouble the class representative has caused me. Anyway, you're my savior now. This is just the truth, how can you call it flattery?"

Natsuno was amused by Akin's incredibly smooth and natural tone and his sly demeanor, and patted Akin's shoulder helplessly.

"Eat slowly if you want to go back later."

Chapter 528: All Coincidences

"Big brother, how did you find Ho-Oh? Back in Ho-Eon, Ho-Oh's guards tried calling for him for many days without any success."

"The City Alliance has also been secretly monitoring and even searching, but they haven't found any clues at all. I even suspect that Phoenix King isn't in City at all."

Even though Akin became the champion of the city, he still dressed the same as before, wearing his baseball cap backwards and looking nonchalant.

Before Natsuno could speak, Fuji, who was getting impatient, urged him on.

"Hey you, hurry up and eat! We still need to wake up Ho-Oh. Don't procrastinate!"

Akin was astonished to find that even after becoming the champion, there were still people in the city who didn't know his name. His eyes widened in disbelief.

Xia Ye patted his arm again, signaling him to calm down: "It's a long story, and it's also a coincidence."
