……

Qin Ming ignored the prompts in his mind, quickly took out the last few orange fruits in his backpack, rushed to Riolu and stuffed them into his mouth.

"Dog, withdraw from combat!"

"Leo~!!"

Riolu agreed and used the rationality in his mind to suppress the negative influence. Gradually, his red eyes returned to clarity from being full of aggressiveness.

Worried that something might happen to Riolu, Qin Ming quickly opened the Eye of Detection to check his detailed condition.

[Note: This is a loyal, trustworthy elf with good potential. 】

……

Qin Ming breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Riolu was simply exhausted. At the same time, his battle level and rank with the Monkey King were both raised.

Qin Ming encouraged his original elf: "Dog, you did a great job just now!!"

"Leo~!!!"

Receiving the trainer's praise, the somewhat weak Riolu smiled brightly.

"Okay, the special training is over!"

"We go home!"

After taming the Clownfish and Riolu reaching level 20, the two main purposes of entering the secret realm have been achieved, and Qin Ming immediately prepared to return to the city.

"Leo~!!!"

Riolu nodded understandingly.

……

……

Chapter 23, What!! You really caught a chou chou fish?!

Binjiang Lijing Community, Yangcheng, Guangdong Province.

At noon, Qin Yuanhe was having lunch with Dong Yanju.

Qin Yuanhe picked up a piece of vegetable heart and put it in his mouth to chew.

Ah!

So salty!!

Even though his mouth was salty, his face showed no expression, and he said calmly, "The salt today is very good, and it tastes very good."

"Oh!"

Dong Yanju was a little absent-minded and obviously didn't hear clearly what Qin Yuanhe said. She just responded with an "oh".

Seeing that Dong Yanju didn't respond, Qin Yuanhe decided to give a more subtle hint: "By the way, is salt on sale in the supermarket recently?"

"I don't know...I haven't been there for a while..."

The absent-minded Dong Yanju replied indifferently without picking up her chopsticks. She just rested her chin on her hand and looked at the door blankly.

Qin Yuanhe felt it was too salty, but he didn't dare to say it directly. Seeing that Dong Yanju still didn't understand, he could only continue to hint: "If you keep this dish for three years, it might taste better."

"What do you mean?"

Qin Yuanhe spoke again and again and finally succeeded in attracting Dong Yanju's attention.

Qin Yuanhe acted like a philosopher and said lightly, "Because time can dilute everything, if this dish is left for another three years, its taste will probably become bland..."

"Just say what you want to say!!"

"Why do you have to do so much? It's just because it's salty!!"

Dong Yanju rolled her eyes, picked up a piece of cabbage and put it in her mouth to taste it.

Ah!

It’s salty indeed!

Although the dish was overcooked, Dong Yanju didn't think it was her fault. Instead, she said arrogantly, "My son has been in the secret realm for more than a month. I haven't seen him for more than a month. I missed him so I accidentally put a little more salt when cooking. Isn't that reasonable?!"

"Reasonable!"

“Very reasonable!!”

Qin Yuanhe immediately raised his hands in agreement, feeling depressed. Given Dong Yanju's domineering attitude, if he spoke directly, wouldn't he be eaten alive by this roaring tiger?

"Hey!"

"I don't know when my son will come back."

Just as Dong Yanju was about to sit down, she suddenly heard the sound of a door opening outside the living room.

"My son is back?!!"

Dong Yanju and Qin Yuanhe were delighted and hurried from the dining room to the living room.

But when they saw who walked into the house, they stopped in their tracks.

The person who entered was wearing yellowed, tattered clothes, had long hair that covered his eyes and obscured his face, had an untidy beard that made him look very old, and was carrying a mountaineering bag with holes in it, and there was a sour smell on his body.

From the outside, he looks just like a scavenger.

Qin Yuanhe saw this and firmly protected Dong Yanju behind him, and asked sternly: "Who are you and why do you have the key to my house!!"

"I'm telling you, you're breaking into a private house and it's illegal. You'll go to jail, don't you know that?!"

"If you leave now, I can pretend nothing happened. Otherwise, I will call the police and this matter will become a big deal!!"

The scavenger in front of him was Qin Ming who had returned from the secret realm.

After staying in a secret place with backward living conditions for a long time, there is no tools or time to shave hair and beard, not to mention clothes. It is normal to get scratched while running around in the mountains and fields.

As for the sour taste, what's the big deal?

Just when Qin Ming wanted to speak and reveal his identity, Qin Yuanhe had no intention of letting him interrupt.

Qin Yuanhe shouted loudly: "Bibi Bird, Bibi Bird, come here quickly!!"

“Bibi~!!”

“Bibi~!!”

Qin Yuanhe's Pidgeot quickly crossed the stairs from the roof and came to the living room on the first floor.

As the Pidgeot came to his side, Qin Yuanhe became more confident: "Friend, if you don't leave, don't blame me for taking action!!"

"My Pidgeot's claws are very sharp..."

Just as Qin Yuanhe was making some harsh remarks, the Pidgeot bird flew in front of Qin Ming with a cry of joy, and made an intimate call to welcome Qin Ming home.

"Forehead…"

"Pipibi, what are you doing?!"

Qin Yuanhe felt extremely uncomfortable at this moment. The Pidgeot bird he had raised for more than ten years just defected to the enemy. Anyone would feel bad if it were him.

"Is...is it a son?"

Dong Yanju, who was hiding behind Qin Yuanhe, spoke tentatively. She saw a hint of familiarity in Qin Ming's appearance and his eyes and eyebrows that could not be concealed by his long hair.

"Mom, it's me!"

Qin Ming, who finally found an opportunity, spoke immediately.

"You...you are Xiao Ming?"

Dong Yanju was still a little uncertain and didn't dare to get too close based on the sound alone.

Qin Ming smiled, took out the Poké Ball containing Riolu and pressed the switch.

"Leo~!!"

"Leo~!!"

When Riolu saw Qin's father and mother, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, he immediately greeted them obediently.

Seeing the intimacy of Pidgeot, Riolu and the familiar voice, Dong Yanju finally believed that the scavenger in front of her was her son.

"Ouch!!"

Dong Yanju's eyes quickly turned red after she recognized Qin Ming's identity. She pushed aside Qin Ming's long hair that was covering his bangs, touched his dark face and said distressedly, "You've lost so much weight and become so dark. The special training in the secret realm must have been very hard."

"Did you eat on time?"

Qin Ming showed his big white teeth and comforted her: "Mom, it's okay, I'll eat on time, I just miss the food you cooked."

"Are you guys having dinner too?"

"I just happened to not have any food, so I'll eat something first."

Qin Ming picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of vegetable and put it into his mouth.

what! !

Mom's taste!!

Just a little salty!!

Qin Yuanhe, who was standing by, secretly knocked on Pidgeot's head, and when he reached out his hand, it turned into a touch: "Just now I thought you had defected to the enemy, which made me very sad."

“Bibi~!!”

“Bibi~!!”

Pidgeot responded with a grin.

"Okay, okay, stop pushing me!"

Qin Yuanhe turned around and saw the luggage Qin Ming had just put down. There was only a backpack. He thought to himself, "Why is the fishing rod gone?"

"Could it be possible that he died in the secret realm?!"

"possible!!"

At this time, Dong Yanju, who was watching Qin Ming eating, asked with concern: "Son, didn't you say you wanted to go to the secret realm to fish for chou chou fish? Did you catch any?"

Hearing Dong Yanju's words, Qin Yuanhe immediately waved his hand to signal Dong Yanju not to ask any more questions.

How can I catch a ugly fish if I don’t have a fishing rod?

Although Qin Yuanhe is not a professional fisherman, he also knows the importance of fishing rods to fishermen.

A fishing rod is to a fisherman what a sword is to a swordsman.

Fishing rod, even dignity.

"The fishing rod is gone. Xiao Ming must have experienced some very bad memories!!"
