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

"Tell me, which area do you want to work in? With your resume, it shouldn't be difficult to find a simple, safe, and prosperous area."

When the officer said this, his tone was not as cheerful as before, but instead contained a hint of regret.

Because of the strange employment rules of the International Police, trainers with higher talents are more likely to go to stable areas.

People with insufficient strength are more likely to be assigned difficult tasks such as investigating criminal organizations.

In his opinion, this is a completely backwards inauguration rule, but unfortunately the league seems to have no intention of changing it in recent years.

Just when he thought that the young man in front of him would also choose a stable place like Manjin City, Jinhuang City, or Alola, what Xia Mu said made him stunned.

"I want to apply to be an undercover agent in the poacher organization." Xia Mu said calmly.

The tone was so calm that the department head thought he had misheard.

[After repeated confirmation from your superior, you easily applied for the undercover job.]

[Before leaving, the officer's respectful look lowered your assessment of the international police by several notches.]

[Even the international police have become like this, no wonder a few poachers have caused the alliance so much trouble for so long. ]

[The irritability that has been popping up from time to time recently resurfaces from the bottom of your heart. 】

[Extreme emotions · up]

"Welcome home!"

As soon as he walked into the door, Latias pounced on Xia Mu.

"Mom, stop it."

At the critical moment, Xia Mu quickly used his superpowers to stabilize his body.

"Well..."

However, for some reason, Latias just stared at Xia Mu with his amber eyes and began to look at him carefully.

"What's wrong?" Xia Mu couldn't help but feel puzzled and rubbed the other's head gently.

"nothing."

After pondering for a moment, Latias finally did not ask his doubts.

In fact, she found that compared to being called "Mom" by Xia Mu all the time, she now preferred it when she was held in her arms.

[During dinner, you showed Latias your International Police ID.]

[Tess acted very curious, holding it in her hands and fiddling with it for a long time, her face full of pride and joy, and you also treasured this certificate a lot.]

"By the way, my brother just called and asked you to go to the island tomorrow."

After eating a bite of the energy cube made by Xia Mu, Latias suddenly said.

From her tone, it can be heard that Latias is not very satisfied with this matter.

Because her brother didn't let her go with him and only allowed Xia Mu to go back alone.

This behavior of breaking up her and Xia Mu made her very angry.

"Going back to the island?"

"I understand." Xia Mu replied calmly.

But underneath this plain voice, his brows were slightly furrowed.

He had some vague guesses as to why Latios asked him to go back alone.

Chapter 71: Latios is seriously ill

[As agreed, you rode a dragon to the isolated island early the next morning.]

[The island is filled with steam in the early morning, and the air is moist and fresh, which makes you feel relaxed. ]

[After landing on the island, you came to where Latios lived with ease. ]

[The well-kept trees and neatly trimmed lawns don’t look very different from the last time you were here.]

[But the difference is that you didn't see Latios coming out to greet you. ]

"Latios?"

Xia Mu stood in the open space and shouted, raising his voice.

The sound echoed repeatedly in the empty forest, startling the Pokémon in the bushes and causing them to move around, but Latios was the only one who was not seen flying out.

Seeing this, Xia Mu's heart sank slightly. He had already made plans for the worst.

But fortunately, after he used his telekinesis to carefully scan the surrounding vegetation, he finally sensed a familiar breath in a tree hole.

The moment after locking the position, Xia Mu mobilized his superpowers and moved instantly to the side of the tree hole.

"Latios."

Looking at the blue-and-white figure lying helplessly in the tree hole, Xia Mu called out softly and hurried forward, carefully helping it up from the ground.

After confirming that the other party was still breathing weakly, Xia Mu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He took out several energy cubes quickly and gently.

Then he used his super powers to crush it, pried open Latios's mouth and gently stuffed it in.

These energy blocks were specially made by him, and their healing effects were no less than those of powerful medicines.

Even if it is a dying Pokémon, its life can be temporarily stabilized after eating it, and it can get a precious chance of treatment.

Sure enough, as the energy cube entered his stomach, Latios' breathing gradually became steady.

The breath that was originally so weak that only a trace was left was now growing stronger little by little. Although the situation was still not optimistic, Xia Mu at least didn't have to worry about the other party suddenly dying.

Looking at Latios lying in his arms, Xia Mu sighed softly.

Given the other person's condition, he might not wake up for a while.

During this period, the responsibility of taking care of Latios will be borne by him alone.

[As expected, Latios developed a high fever from noon. ]

[In the absence of medical equipment, you can only rely on some of Milotic's water skills to collect clean fresh water to help cool down the opponent. ]

[Fortunately, your training level is very high, Latios's physical condition quickly stabilized, and finally his fever completely subsided in the afternoon. ]

"Thank you for your hard work, Menas."

Xia Mu expressed his gratitude while stroking the smooth and cool scales of Mienshao.

"miu~"

Hearing the praise, Mienshao raised his neck proudly.

At the same time, she pretended to glance at Latios casually with her big watery eyes, with a look of disdain in her eyes.

She doesn't have any good feelings towards Tess's brother who is obsessed with his sister.

If Xia Mu hadn't asked her to do so, she would definitely have used her boiling hot water skill to cool the other person down.

Perhaps the malicious thoughts of Mienshao worked.

Latios, who was still unconscious, suddenly shuddered, then opened his blurry eyes with great difficulty.

"Ladi~"

After seeing clearly that the figure in front of him was Xia Mu, Latios called out weakly.

His poor physical condition prevented him from using telepathy as usual.

Xia Mu, who was originally preparing medicine with freshly picked fruits, paused when he heard the noise behind him.

When he found out that it was Latios who woke up, he hurriedly took two steps forward and stopped the other party from struggling to get up.

"With your current physical condition, don't even think about getting up."

"If I had come a little later, Latias would have had to say goodbye to his brother in advance."

Xia Mu's voice couldn't help but carry a hint of dissatisfaction and annoyance.

Latios rarely talked to him about the true condition of his body, nor did he allow him to undergo systematic examinations.

This led to Xia Mu always thinking that the other person's body was still in a relatively good condition.

Until today, he took advantage of the other person's fainting and came for a thorough checkup...

Only then did Xia Mu realize that his so-called "okay" body had already become terminally ill.

Even if he starts serious treatment now, he probably only has a few months left to live.

"Ladi~"

Knowing that he was in the wrong, Latios lost his usual arrogance. He lowered his head slightly and looked apologetic.

I have to say that Latios and Tiss are indeed siblings.

Looking at the other party's actions that were exactly the same as Tess's after she made a mistake, Xia Mu's anger, which was halfway through being vented, got stuck in his throat.

After a long while, he sighed softly and said:

"Your body is now in a state where there is no medicine to cure it. If you can't borrow some special power, you will have very little time left."

"I hope you're ready."

At the end, Xia Mu's voice became serious again.

He needed to make Latios have a clear and respectful understanding of his condition, so that the other party would not take it lightly.

The effect of these words was not bad.

Latios' eyes dimmed after hearing that, and his already weak spirit became even weaker.

After regaining some strength, he tried to use telepathy to speak:

"Xia Mu, I hope you can continue to take good care of Latias after I leave."

If there was one thing that Latios was most worried about, it was undoubtedly Latias, his biological sister.

So the first thing he said after resuming communication was to ask Xia Mu again to take good care of the other party.

"It's natural."

Xia Mu responded softly to Latios' request.

Tiss's safety not only comes first in Latios' mind, but it is the most important thing in his mind.

Latios, who also knew this, had no doubt about Xia Mu's words.

He believed that even without him, his sister would grow up safely under the protection of her "children".

Thinking of this, Latios felt a lot more relaxed, as if a huge stone had been lifted off his shoulders.

He couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, trying to ease the solemn atmosphere caused by his illness.

"Xia Mu, come to think of it, you also had a high fever when Latias first picked you up."

"When I saw the way she cooled you down, I didn't even think you could survive a year in Latias's hands, someone so weak as you."

"But now even I have to admit that as a brother, I am not as good as my sister in this matter."

"I believe Latias will live a peaceful life under your protection."

Latios talked a lot more than usual, and Xia Mu just listened quietly.

He could understand the other party's desire to say more at this moment.
