Elf: Is the bear apprentice the weakest? I'll shatter the sky with my fists.

Chapter 437 Sir, would you like to come in and sit for a while?

“This is my reality and my ideal.”

These words echoed in Man Qian's mind for a long time like the clear sound of a bell.

She raised her head and looked at Li Chen who stood up.

At this moment, the light emitted from Li Chen's eyes revealed from the side of his face was brighter than the stars.

Man Qian's fingertips trembled slightly, and finally she slowly loosened the corner of her clothes.

"I said too much."

She bowed her head and saluted, her voice so soft that it was almost inaudible: "Sorry to disturb your rest..."

As the wooden door opened and closed, Man Qian's figure quietly disappeared into the shadows of the corridor.

The room returned to silence, with only the water-like moonlight flowing at Li Chen's feet.

He stood alone in front of the window, looking towards Yuanzhu Town. The Poké Ball he put back on his waist was glowing faintly in the moonlight.

......

After returning to the room, Man Qian curled up in the corner and buried her face deeply between her knees.

Those deliberately forgotten scenes reappeared before my eyes.

As the black-clad demon wreaked havoc in Manjin Town, screams echoed in the streets, the piercing sound of shop windows shattering, and... the trembling back of her mother as she stood in front of her.

Manjin Town seems to be brightly lit, but in fact there are undercurrents.

They can only pretend to persist on the surface to cover up the scarred side.

Man Qian's nails dug deep into her palms, but she suddenly deflated when she touched the old mirror beside her pillow.

The cold mirror reflected her red eyes.

"I really can't do anything..."

Man Qian raised her head, and the moonlight cast mottled shadows on her face.

A tear silently slid down and disappeared into the dark blue quilt.

Outside the window, the night patrol cuckoo made a long cry.

In front of the door, Li Chen watched the scene quietly, then he exchanged for a shuttle ball, put it on the ground and left.

Tonight, a sleepless night.

......

The morning star has not faded, and the waning moon is still hanging in the sky.

In the mist at three o'clock in the morning, three figures quietly left Manjin Town.

Songcao walked in front, with his Gengar floating beside him, dispersing the morning dew in the forest for everyone.

"Emissary Chen."

Yu Longdu lowered his voice and looked back at the receding silhouette of Manjin Town. "Miss Manqian seems to be interested in you..."

"No need to say more."

Li Chen interrupted without stopping, the morning mist condensed into tiny water droplets on his cloak.

"Some ties must be severed when necessary."

His voice was as cold as a drawn sword. "When facing the Black-Cloaked Demon Envoy, any weakness could become a fatal injury."

Yulongdu stroked the clan emblem on his chest thoughtfully, but ultimately did not ask any further questions.

Songcao chuckled in front, and Gengar let out a strange "kouhei kouhei" laugh, startling several cuckoos in the woods that were just about to fall asleep.

When the eastern sky began to turn pale, the three of them had already walked several miles.

The outline of Manjin Town completely disappeared in the morning mist, except for the shuttle ball on Li Chen's waist, which had a strand of pink hair that swayed gently in the morning breeze.

And the light stone that had been kept in the backpack began to emit heat.

......

......

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the sun was nearing its zenith. In the distance, the ancient outline of Yuanzhu Town gradually became clear.

"Boy!"

Suddenly, an Eevee with shiny fur popped its head out from the grass beside the road.

It tilted its head and looked at Li Chen, its big brown eyes full of curiosity, and made a few soft calls.

Rustle, rustle—the grass began to sway again.

Two more equally cute Eevees jumped out one after another.

The three little guys have very different personalities.

The one on the far left was rubbing Li Chen's shoes affectionately, the one in the middle had its fur standing on end, looking ready to fight at any time, and the one on the right was walking lightly and gracefully.

Its fluffy tail swayed gently with its steps, as leisurely as the north wind blowing across the snowfield.

"Oh? Aren't these the three Eevee that live in the Clock Tower all year round?"

Songcao crossed his arms and looked at the little guys in front of him with interest. "Why did you come here today?"

"Kouheikouhei~"

Gengar floated in front of the three Eevee and turned its round body in the air.

The three Eevees raised their heads one after another and responded: "Booey!"

The affectionate one rubbed Gengar's belly, and the hot-tempered one patted its paw with its claws, while the elegant one nodded slightly in greeting.

After saying hello, they ran lightly towards Yuanzhu Town.

"What a unique Eevee."

Li Chen sighed as he looked at their departing backs.

Songcao smiled meaningfully upon hearing this: "The more amazing things are yet to come."

He pointed at the one that rubbed against Li Chen first, "Except for this ordinary little guy, the other two..."

Song Cao pointed at the two figures running away, "One can summon the scorching sun, and the other can bring about a torrential downpour."

As if to confirm his words, a clear cry suddenly came from the distance.

The elegant Eevee leaped onto the high rock, and suddenly a light blue halo appeared around it, and a few dark clouds suddenly floated in the sky.

Then, the hot-tempered Ibrahimovic suddenly turned around and glanced at Li Chen.

Its fluffy tail lashed out.

In an instant, the dark clouds covering the sky seemed to be pushed away by an invisible hand, and the scorching sun poured down in an instant.

"Buey..."

At first, the ordinary Eevee stood there, with a trace of loneliness flashing in its big eyes.

It looked down at its unchanged fur, then at the strange energy flowing around its companions, its little paws unconsciously digging at the soil on the ground.

"Boy!"

A companion's call came from afar.

After hesitating for a moment, the little Eevee finally looked back at Li Chen, then started to catch up.

The three Eevee's figures quickly disappeared under the ancient city gate of Yuanzhu Town. Only the footprints left by the ordinary Eevee were quickly dried up under the scorching sun.

After this little episode, the three of them finally set foot into Yuanzhu Town.

"You two, let's say goodbye for now."

Songcao saluted with his fists clasped. Gengar made a funny face beside him: "I still have some important things to take care of."

After watching Songcao's figure disappear around the corner, Li Chen turned to Yulongdu and asked, "Where are we going next?"

Yu Longdu looked around and his eyes finally fell on a magnificent building with flying eaves and pointed corners in the center of the town.

He raised his hand and pointed to the tall building gleaming in the sun: "Let's go over there and take a look."

"walk slowly."

Li Chen nodded in agreement.

The two walked through the busy streets and arrived at the main entrance of the building.

A plaque with gold characters on a black background hung on the vermilion doorpost, with the four large characters "Yuan Zhu Dance Hall" inscribed in a flamboyant manner.

The copper bells hanging on the eaves tinkled in the wind, and the sound of three-stringed instruments could be faintly heard coming from inside.

There are two beautifully shaped stone lanterns on both sides of the porch.

Although it is not lit, one can still imagine the magnificent scene after dark.

"Two guests~"

Chapter 438 The bell tower caught fire!

"Two guests~"

A maid in a cherry-colored kimono leaned against the door, the silver bracelet on her wrist jingling as she covered her lips with her hands and chuckled. "Would you like to come in and rest for a while?"

After saying this, the maid placed her delicate jade fingers on Yu Longdu's arm, her eyes flickering with a hint of ambiguity: "Or... do you need some special room service?"

"No, no need!"

Yulongdu suddenly froze in place, and the tips of his ears turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The normally calm young master of the Yulong family couldn't even speak clearly at this moment: "We just... want to find a place to eat... and rest until tomorrow..."

He looked at Li Chen as if asking for help, his eyes full of helplessness.

The envoy Chen, who can handle a girl like Man Qian calmly, must be able to handle this kind of situation with ease, right?

Jingle bell~

The wind chimes on the eaves rang crisply. The maid looked at the two guests with very different temperaments with interest, and a playful smile appeared at the corner of her lips.

"I heard your restaurant has special dance performances in the evening. Is that true?"

Li Chen interrupted at the right time, cleverly separating the maid from the bewildered Yu Longdu.

"Sir, you have good hearing~"

The maid covered her lips and chuckled, suddenly moving closer between the two of them.

The faint scent of gardenias lingered on her body as she moved. Her voice was extremely low, "Tonight's dance is special... It's a ritual dance specially choreographed to welcome the God of Gold and the God of Silver."

She raised her eyebrow slightly and said, "If you two stay until the evening... you will definitely be amazed~"

"Oh?"

Li Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, showing an interested look, "Then please arrange a seat for us in the main hall so we can try your signature dishes."

"Okay~"

The maid turned around gracefully, her sleeves drawing a beautiful arc in the air.

"Dear guests, please come in——"

She stretched out her voice, and the bells tied around her waist jingled with her steps.

A group of maids in kimonos came out and led the two of them through a folding screen painted with a picture of a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix.

There is a hidden world inside.

The central stage is surrounded by staggered low tables, and the second-floor seats are covered with translucent gauze curtains. The entire space retains the elegance of a traditional Japanese-style room while maintaining a sense of openness and transparency.

On the way to the seat.

Li Chen lowered his voice and asked, "Du Sang, this place doesn't look cheap. Do you have enough money?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Longdu's face suddenly showed the calmness that is unique to children from aristocratic families. He patted his chest and gave the most resounding answer in these days: "Don't worry."
