I've seen many people raising wives, but this is the first time I've seen someone raising

A ferocious howl came out from Zoroark's mouth. She placed her claws across Pearl's white neck, and with a light stroke she could cut the opponent's throat.

The sudden change left Zhu Bei stunned.

In her peripheral vision, she seemed to see a murderous red light coming out of Zoroark's eyes.

The other party is...trying to silence me?

She thought uncertainly.

But after realizing this, Zhu Bei did not feel panic or fear.

If she encountered such a ferocious beast in the wild, she might be scared.

But this is Xia Mu’s home.

This Zoroark seemed to be very dependent on Xia Mu, and she didn't believe that the latter would watch her get hurt.

As it turned out, Zhu Bei was right.

After a brief moment of daze, Xia Mu wanted to speak out to comfort Zoroark and let him calm down first.

But when he was about to speak, he found that Zoroark's emotions did not seem to be out of control?

Unlike the uncontrolled outburst of emotions in the pure white tundra, although Zoroark's eyes were fierce at this time, the expression on his face was unusually stiff and uncoordinated.

It looks like...it's just forced.

Xia Mu's intuition told him that the big fox was planning something again.

"Xia Mu."

Just at this moment, Zhubei seemed unable to bear the cold claws always pressing against her neck.

She unconsciously called out Xia Mu.

Hearing this, Xia Mu came back to his senses and continued walking towards Zoroark as planned.

When Zoroark saw this, his originally ferocious expression unconsciously revealed a hint of joy.

That's it, to comfort her!

Agree to some of her more excessive requests!

Zoroark planned well.

However...Xia Mu stopped when he was still some distance away from her and Zhu Bei.

In my sight, the other party showed a conflicted expression.

"I'm sorry, Jubei, but Zoroark's existence is a secret that cannot be told."

"So... you can only bury this secret here today."

Xia Mu said softly, full of apology.

After he finished speaking, he waved at Zoroark, signaling him to take action.

This time, not only Zhubei was stunned, but Zoroark was also stunned.

Really...really do it?

Although she also didn't want to expose her existence, but... Zhu Bei was Xia Mu's friend after all.

It was an existence that she could barely accept.

Xia Mu, do you really want her to do it?

Things went beyond expectations, and Zoroark's vigilance dropped.

But at this moment, Xia Mu used instant teleportation to appear behind her.

Before Zoroark could react, her fatal point, the back of her neck, was pinched.

Zoroark:!

"Why aren't you making a fuss anymore, huh?"

Xia Mu looked at the fox in his hand with a smile on his face.

He knew that the other party was pretending from beginning to end.

.......................................

....................................

After a while, in the room.

Zoroark lay beside Xia Mu with a look of grievance on his face.

Not only did she fail to gain any benefit, but she also exposed her trick.

It would be difficult to deceive Xia Mu using similar methods again in the future.

On the other side of the table was Zhu Bei with a sullen face.

She glared at Zoroark almost viciously.

It would have been fine if he had just impersonated her, but he actually dared to use her as a bargaining chip to exchange for benefits.

The rumors circulating in the tribe were indeed true, Zoroark was born cunning.

"How long has she been impersonating me?"

After calming down, she asked Xia Mu.

The first thing she needed to find out was how long this fox had been with Xia Mu.

Hearing this, Xia Mu was stunned.

After reacting, he estimated and replied:

"About... four years? Or five?"

Zoroark disappeared for a while, and he was a little unsure.

But after Zhu Bei heard this, she felt her chest becoming increasingly heavy.

She has known Xia Mu for about this long.

In other words...this fox started taking her place to meet Xia Mu almost as soon as she and Xia Mu became familiar with each other.

Whenever he thought of this, Zhubei had the urge to take out his own Eevee and duel with the opponent.

Under Zoroark's vigilant gaze, Zhubei took a sip of the tea in her hand.

Then, she looked at Xia Mu and said:

"Let her go out first. I have something to tell you."

Thinking of the rumors about Zoroark in the tribe, Zhubei felt that she needed to remind her friend.

Seeing this, Xia Mu nodded and patted Zoroark's body gently as a gesture.

After being patted, Zoroark reluctantly stood up and slowly walked out of the room.

She didn't need to guess, she knew what Zhu Bei was going to say to Xia Mu.

This was the last thing she wanted to hear.

And even though he was very confident in Xia Mu, Zoroark still couldn't help but feel worried.

After one or two times, Xia Mu's will will be very firm.

but...

When he is completely exposed in the future and faces countless people's criticism and strange and fearful looks, will Xia Mu still be able to hold on to raising her?

This is almost what Zoroark is most worried about.

In a panic, she found Lucario who was sitting quietly downstairs.

"Help me use the waveguide to listen to what they are saying?"

She pointed to the second floor and went straight to the point.

Lucario stared at Zoroark's unfriendly expression in silence.

He knew that if he refused, he would definitely be in trouble again.

In desperation, she used the waveguide as a link, connecting one end to Zoroark and the other end to the room on the second floor.

This is equivalent to creating a megaphone made of waveguide material, and the other party can get what they want.

Chapter 168: You don’t really want me to go on stage, do you?

The moment Lucario connected the waveguide for him, Zoroark felt as if he was seeing a new thing.

Even though she was on the first floor, she could still hear the noise in the room on the second floor.

She could even hear Xia Mu's steady breathing clearly.

It’s worthy of being called Bird!

She nodded to Lucario, a rare expression of approval.

Seeing this, Lucario snorted coldly, then sat down on the ground again.

At the same time, Zoroark also increased his concentration.

Because there was already a sound coming from the room on the second floor.

Through the waveguide, she could hear it clearly.

——"Are you sure you want to keep such a notorious Pokémon around?"

The first sentence of the opening hits directly at what Zoroark is most worried about.

She held her breath unconsciously and widened her beautiful eyes.

Xia Mu...how would he answer?

..................................

...............................

In the room on the second floor

After asking this question, Zhu Bei stood up with her hands on the table.

She stared at Xia Mu's expression, as if she didn't want to miss any details.

The reason she said this was not because she wanted to take the opportunity to take revenge on Zoroark.

If Xia Mu had captured another Pokémon, she wouldn't have said a word even if she hated it.

But Zoroark is different.

The other party's reputation is quite bad among the human tribe.

Almost every tribe has a unique and terrifying rumor about Zoroark.

Under the influence of this story, normal members of the tribe have no good feelings towards Zoroark.

They believed that this was indeed a ferocious beast that would bring disaster.

Although in Zhubei's opinion, this seems a bit exaggerated.

Some Pokémon do appear to be more aggressive due to their inherent personality traits.

But it's impossible for every one to be like this.

But unfortunately most people don’t think so, and they are unwilling to take such risks.

Therefore, if Xia Mu wanted to raise Zoroark, it was inevitable that he would be questioned and excluded.

She didn't want to see this happen.

However, in response to Zhu Bei's questioning, Xia Mu calmly shook his head.
