Chapter 123: Jealousy

Yumi has lived in Hinoki Town since she was born.

It has been forty-two years now.

Her grandparents brought their family here more than 80 years ago, when the place was called Huipi Village.

In those days.

Finding a peaceful, secluded paradise is no easy feat.

Moreover, this town of Cypress is surrounded by forest, and getting in here is entirely a matter of luck without a map.

After discovering this place, Youmi's grandparents immediately decided to settle down here.

The wooden house where Youmi lives today was built by her grandfather, father, and uncles. It has withstood the test of time and remains intact.

Inside the cabin.

The stone fireplace next to it was burning, and gray smoke was rising out of the chimney.

There is an oak forest next to the town of Huipi.

The wood can be used to make charcoal, so when it gets cold, the people of Huipi Town use charcoal for warmth.

The cabin was incredibly warm because of the fireplace, lacking the warmth one would expect from a city in springtime.

Wu Ge, Youmi, and Yibu sat around a square tea table for their meal.

On the table were steaming vegetable soup and soft-looking bread.

Wu Ge and Yi Bu were completely absorbed in the food.

But Yumi couldn't help but keep looking at Xin Ye Miao, who was being punished by Wu Ge by standing in the corner.

The little guy held onto the wall with his two front paws, standing on his two hind paws, his little tail drooping down, and his body trembling from time to time.

"Big lizard, hurry up and let the kitten come over for dinner. Look how thin she is, she doesn't even have the strength to stand as punishment."

Yumi patted Wu Ge's arm.

She didn't know what kind of Pokémon Wu Ge was, so she could only name it based on its appearance.

"Don't give her any food, let her realize her mistake."

Wu Ge deliberately raised his voice in response.

"Oh dear, look at you, such a big Pokémon and you're still fighting with a kitten."

Yumi couldn't stand it anymore, so she got up, walked to the wall, and picked up Xinye Miao.

'I'm older? If we're really counting age, I'd say I'm only about half a month older than her.'

Wu Ge pursed his lips, neither responding nor stopping Youmi.

After all, he needed a way to save face.

Yumi's initiative in bringing Xinye Miao over saved him the trouble of finding a way out.

"Oh dear~ my poor little thing, she's all crying like a little kitten."

Yumi's words caught Wu Ge's attention.

He turned his head to look.

Xin Ye Miao was huddled in You Mi's arms, tears streaming down her face, her pink pupils occasionally glancing timidly at Wu Ge.

That look of wanting to get close but also being a little worried is so adorable.

"Are you still crying? You go first... Ugh!"

Seeing Xin Ye Miao's aggrieved look, Wu Ge was about to scold her when he was immediately interrupted.

"Just eat quietly."

Youmi took a big spoon, scooped up a spoonful of soup, and stuffed it into Wu Ge's mouth.

She couldn't understand what Wu Ge was saying.

But judging from Wu Ge's tone, it was clear that these weren't sweet words to coax a cat.

Then let's not talk about it.

"Meow"

Shin-Ye-Nyan raised her head and let out a desperate cry towards the ceiling.

She lamented that her maternal grandmother didn't love her and her uncle didn't care about her.

This adorable little face melted Yumi's heart.

"My poor baby, wait a minute, Auntie will get you a bottle."

Yumi originally planned to give Xinye Miao a spoonful as well.

But Shin-chan's mouth is too small.

So she got up and found the baby bottle she used to use to feed her own child, poured some vegetable soup into it, and shook it.

"Meow~Hmm!"

Xin Ye Miao was still howling, but it followed in Wu Ge's footsteps in less than two seconds.

Yumi felt the temperature was about right, so she took the baby bottle and aimed it at Xinye Miao's little mouth.

Anyway, she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Yumi was raised by her mother in this way when she was a child, and she also scolds her children and Eevee in the same way.

Looking at how chubby Ibu is now, Yumi feels that she has done nothing wrong.

On the contrary, Wu Ge felt a chill run down his spine upon seeing this scene.

Dead memories suddenly attacked him.

I remember a thousand years ago.

He was back when he was a Minidragon and a Dragonair.

Generally speaking, mealtime.

When he showed resistance, Liz would stop feeding him.

But if Liz is unavailable and the task of feeding falls to Hestia, then he's in trouble.

Hestia never considered his opinion when feeding him, but only whether he had eaten enough.

If he hasn't eaten enough, Hestia will assume he's not getting enough nutrition and will keep stuffing food into his mouth until she thinks Wu Ge is full.

Looking back now, I realize that at least half of the reason I became so fat is Hestia's fault.

The past is too painful to recall, and Wu Ge can only shake his head.

Then look at Xinye Miao lying in Youmi's arms.

'cute.'

Even Wu Ge had to admit it.

Shinyane's appearance as a child was truly stunning, comparable to his Dratini days.

"Meow."

When Xin Ye Miao saw Wu Ge looking at her, she quickly removed the pacifier and called out to him.

Her meaning was simple and clear: she wanted Wu Ge to hug her.

Have you realized your mistake?

"Meow?"

Xin Ye Miao shook her head; she didn't think she had done anything wrong.

Why did you suddenly attack someone?

"Meow! (Don't let anyone near you!)"

Xin Ye Miao responded confidently.

"Turns out she's a jealous person."

Wu Ge then understood why Xin Ye Miao had suddenly attacked the innocent Eevee.

The little guy isn't just targeting Ibrahimovic.

It's targeting all those who want to associate themselves with Wu Ge.

"You can't attack other people casually anymore. It's very impolite. Also, who you associate with is my business. I won't interfere with who you befriend, and you're not allowed to interfere with my business either."

Wu Ge took Xin Ye Miao from You Mi's arms.

He reached out a hand and tapped her little nose.

New Leafy is clearly developing in the direction of Ash's Chikorita.

Even Ash, that straight guy, got a little annoyed by Chikorita's harassment, not to mention Wu Ge.

Besides, he considers himself to be Xin Ye Miao's 'master'.

He had to stop Shin-Ye-Miao from developing any strange or morbid psychological issues.

Training an apprentice to become a well-rounded Pokémon is also what a qualified master should do.

"Meow"

Shin-Ye-Miao nodded dejectedly, indicating that she would behave well.

"Have a meal."

Wu Ge suspiciously tugged at her little tail and tossed it back into Youmi's arms.

He couldn't tell how much of what Xin Ye Miao had taken to heart.

However, judging from the current situation, their attitude is still quite good.

"Meow~"

But Shin-chan doesn't want to be fed rice.

She struggled to take the bottle from Youmi's hands and asked Wu Ge to feed her.

Wu Ge laid the little one flat on his knees, then held the bottle in one hand for Xin Ye Miao to feed herself, while using the other hand to hold bread dipped in a sauce and nibble on it.

"They made up pretty quickly."

Yumi stared longingly at Xinye Miao.

She clearly wanted to personally feed the kittens with the bottle.

"Ee-bee~"

Yi Bu, who was sitting opposite Wu Ge, seemed to have finished eating and got up to leave.

But Yumi obviously wouldn't let her off so easily.

"Hey? Ibu, are you full?"

Yumi swiftly reached out a hand and grabbed one of Eevee's hind legs.

"You're so skinny, eat more. Even the Slowpoke from Iron Block's house next door is stronger than you."

She pulled Eevee close, then pinched a piece of bread and fed it to Eevee's mouth.

"Ee-bee~"

Ibrahimovic, as usual, opened his mouth and continued eating.

Wu Ge and Xin Ye Miao ate silently to the side, not daring to utter a sound.

After dinner.

Wu Ge used a tissue to wipe the milk off Xin Ye Miao's lips, which were covered in milk from eating.

They're all quite full right now and aren't in a hurry to go to the Pokémon Center.

Wu Ge opened the green box that Principal Ye Xiong had given him, and Xin Ye Miao and Yi Bu both curiously ran over and craned their necks to look.

The green box wasn't big, but it contained quite a lot of things.
