Xiangling looked up and saw a girl with reddish brown gradient ponytails, wearing a Chinese-style dress with patterns and long hems, with red spider lilies and lilies on the hems. She was wearing a Qiankun Tai Gua hat with a black bow on the back. The material of the hat was relatively hard, and the emblem of the Wangsheng Hall was decorated on the front. She was holding her head and crying in pain.

It was Xiangling’s good friend, Hu Tao, the 77th head of the Wangsheng Hall.

"It's Walnut. I'm going to go out and look for new ingredients."

Xiangling was cautious and did not tell anyone that she was going to Qingce Manor. Hu Tao was an unreliable person and she could never be sure if he would let the cat out of the bag at any time.

"Okay, okay, hey, what's going on with that little monkey?"

Hu Tao rubbed her head and stood up. She was originally planning to come to Wanmin Hall for dinner. Just when she heard that Xiangling was back, she came to try Xiangling's cooking. But Xiangling wanted to leave now. There was nothing she could do about it. Master Mao's cooking was not bad either.

But at this moment, she keenly saw a little green monkey running to Xiangling and blowing on the redness and swelling on Xiangling's forehead with concern.

Suddenly, Walnut's starry eyes became brighter. This little monkey is so cute.

After feeling that the pain in her head had gone, Xiangling held the knocking monkey in her arms and gently rubbed its little head.

"This is Knocking Monkey, a Pokémon I bought from the Pokémon House. Okay, Kurumi, I have to go first. I won't catch up with you for now."

After saying that, Xiangling left in a hurry, leaving Hutao alone, confused.

"Hey, that's strange, why is Xiangling so anxious today, what happened?"

Hu Tao scratched his head and put the matter behind him in an instant. Xiangling is very strong. Even if we don't take into account the Divine Eye, her spear skills alone are very strong. How could there be any problem? However... that little monkey just now was indeed a bit cute. Is it the Pokémon House? Let's go down and take a look.

"Master Mao, the same old rules, Wanmintang boiled fish and a serving of shrimp dumplings!"

Hu Tao thought to herself, but now, the most important thing is to fill her stomach. She had just completed a funeral ceremony and hadn't even had a bite of food for a whole day.

"Okay, I'll come right over."

Master Mao responded loudly, then quickly washed his hands and killed the fish.

Chapter 16 Rayquaza Hatchling

"Huh? When did grass grow in your house?"

Chef Mao, who was cooking for Walnut, suddenly found some green grass growing on the ground in the store.

"Forget it, maybe it's been too long since I cleaned it. I'll clean it up properly after I finish my work tonight."

He didn't take it too seriously and immediately forgot about it.

......

After finishing her meal, Hu Tao strolled around Chihu Rock and looked for the location of the Pokémon House. To be honest, she quite liked Xiangling's little monkey.

I don’t know if the Pokémon House only sells the little monkey as a pet, or if there are other types as well.

Not long after she walked around, she saw a store with a sign that read "Pokémon House". Next to the store, there was a picture of a white four-legged creature that she had never seen before.

"Is that... a horse? Or a sheep? Why does it look so strange?"

Although he was very curious about what the strange white horse next to the store was, Walnut had no intention of digging deeper and walked straight into the store.

As the head of the Wangsheng Hall and a person walking on the border between life and death, Hu Tao is not very interested in some secrets, because sometimes, knowing too much is not a good thing.

Pushing open the door of the shop, Hu Tao saw from a distance a yellowish humanoid creature standing on a cloud and running around in the shop, cleaning the corners of the shop with a feather duster in its hand.

"You are……"

Hu Tao was a little unsure what this thing was. As a traveler walking on the border between life and death, she had seen all kinds of strange creatures in her daily life, but she could guarantee that she had never seen the guy in front of her.

At this moment, the khaki humanoid creature turned its head, with beard-like clouds growing above its mouth, making it look like a majestic and kind old man.

"Oh, it's a customer. My name is Tudiyun. Please wait a moment, I'll go call the boss out." Tudiyun landed on the ground, picked up the chicken feather basket, turned around and walked into the store.

As Hu Tao watched the back of Tudiyun go away, she touched her chin with her hand and frowned. "He has no immortal power, but he can speak. What on earth is this?"

The inheritance of the Wangsheng Hall has a long history, and can even be traced back to the period of the Demon War. Its ancestors even had the experience of working with the Rock King. For the master of the Wangsheng Hall, distinguishing immortal power is a piece of cake.

In Liyue, talking animals are not uncommon, and most of the immortals are in this form. But just now, she did not detect any immortal power in Tudiyun, which was very strange.

"Is it the same animal as Xiangling's little monkey?"

Hu Tao's eyes flashed, and she thought of Xiang Ling's little monkey.

She still remembered that she vaguely saw grass growing rapidly under the feet of the little monkey. At that time, she thought she had been hungry for too long and was hallucinating. But now, it seems that this is probably not the case.

Not long after Tudiyun walked into the store, a tall young man slowly walked out. Tudiyun crossed his arms and slowly floated behind him.

"Welcome, guest. Would you like to buy some Pokémon?"

"Boss, what is Pokémon? Is Xiangling's little monkey also a Pokémon?"

Walnut directly asked the biggest question she had since entering the store.

Li Pan smiled slightly. He finally understood how this Master Hu knew about his store.

"Of course, Chef Xiangling's Pokémon is called Knocking Monkey, and it's a Grass-type Pokémon."

After hearing this, Hu Tao's eyes became even more confused.

"Grass type? What does that mean?"

Li Pan pointed at the land cloud beside him.

"Pokémon are currently divided into 905 attributes and types. Chef Xiangling's Knocking Monkey is a grass-type Pokémon, and my Landcloud is a ground and flying-type Pokémon."

After listening to what Li Pan said, Hu Tao finally understood something. She became interested. No matter in her years of experience walking on the border or in the records of the Hall of Rebirth, she had never heard of a creature called Pokémon. This thing was most likely not native to Teyvat.

But what does this have to do with her? As long as it doesn't harm the continent of Teyvat, there is no problem.

"Boss, how can I buy Pokémon? I don't see any other Pokémon in your store?"

Kurumi looked around the store, but didn't see any Pokémon except Landcloud.

"Customer, you need to draw from the store manager's illustrated book. Everyone has five chances to draw every day. The first time is free, but each draw costs one thousand Mora."

As Li Pan spoke, he handed the illustration to Hu Tao.

"Oh, click here to draw? I see. I have the best luck in Teyvat. Look, I hit the target with one shot and drew the strongest Pokémon!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kurumi pressed the extraction button.

Suddenly, the picture on the atlas started to spin rapidly, faster and faster, and finally, it stopped on a emerald green figure.

Looking at the real Pokémon in the illustrated book, Hu Tao had a face full of black question marks and looked at Li Pan tentatively.

"Boss... why does this Pokémon look so familiar to me? Do you think it looks a bit like... a cabbage worm?"

Li Pan leaned over to take a look, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice.

Green caterpillar.

How to say it... This is the only Caterpillar he has drawn since he opened the store. The Pokémon race values ​​drawn by others are all no less than 500, and even Ningguang, the European and rich lady, drew a quasi-god.

"Dear guest, please do not underestimate this Pokémon. This Pokémon is the cub of the legendary sky dragon Rayquaza."

"real?"

Walnut was a little surprised. The Sky Dragon, the name sounds unusual. It is said that there is a giant dragon named Tevarin among the Four Winds Guardians in Mondstadt. It would be great if Rayquaza could grow to the same level as Tevarin. But why does this little guy look so much like a large cabbage caterpillar?

"Of course it's fake, customer, you are dreaming. This Pokémon is called Caterpillar, and its final evolution is Butterfree. How about its potential... It's average. How about it, customer, do you want to buy it?"

Li Pan took a long time to finally utter "very average". There was no other way. He couldn't say Butterfree was strong against his conscience.

For a moment, Hu Tao was stunned, and the next moment, her fair face turned red.

She thrust her hand into her pocket, and the next moment a Northland Bank note was slapped on the counter by her little hand, which had a ring on each finger.

Li Pan leaned over to take a look. It was at least six figures.

"Boss, keep smoking!"

Chapter 17 Walnuts Smuggled into Europe

He pressed the extract button again, and the picture on the atlas started to rotate. At this moment, Kurumi seemed to hear the rustling sound of Mora's passing away.

The next moment, a small brown and yellow bird appeared on the screen of the illustrated book.

"Guest, you are really lucky. This is said to be the juvenile form of the legendary Pokémon Ho-Oh, Spearow!"

Li Pan covered his mouth, trying hard not to burst out laughing.

"How about this, would you like to buy this Spearow?"

"No, keep drawing! I don't believe it. How could my luck be so bad?"

Walnut stared at the Spearow on the illustrated book with gnashing teeth and pressed the extraction button again. But three minutes later.

barley

Hu Tao fell to his knees in the store in frustration, muttering to himself.

"Caterpillar, Spearow, Magikarp, Unicorn Beetle... hehe... hehehehe..."

Li Pan, who was sitting at the counter, couldn't bear to watch any further. It was too tragic. This man was really too miserable.

"My dear customer, you still have one chance to draw today. Do you want to continue drawing? Or do you want this unicorn?"

As a mature businessman, Li Pan successfully held himself back and did not laugh out loud.

Hearing this, Kurumi grabbed the illustrated guide.

"Draw, of course, this is the last time today, even if it's a Carp King, I will admit defeat!"

He gnashed his teeth, as if he was addicted to drawing cards.

As soon as he finished speaking, Kurumi pressed the extraction button directly.

The picture began to move again, and Walnut's breathing became more and more rapid.

嘀!

With a slight sound, something like a candle appeared on the illustration.

Walnut took a look and his face suddenly fell: "Is it not even a living being this time? !!"

Kurumi was very angry. She felt that this damn illustrated book was targeting her.

When Li Pan heard the word candle, he leaned over to take a look and immediately showed a surprised expression.

"Guest, your luck has turned from bad to good."

Kurumi turned around and glared at him.

"Boss, which mythical beast's juvenile is this?"

She now understood that the baby divine beast that Li Pan was talking about was just a joke on her.

"No, no, no, you are worrying too much, sir. This Pokémon does have great potential. It is called Luminar, a ghost-type Pokémon. Its final evolution is called Luminar. Its racial stat is 520, but its special attack racial stat is as high as 145, making it an extremely powerful special attacker."

Hearing Li Pan say this, Hu Tao looked at him in shock.

"Ghost? Boss, you sell ghosts here?!"

As a traveler on the border between life and death, what Walnut does on a daily basis, apart from attending funerals, is to ensure that the worlds of the living and the dead do not overlap.

Normally, if someone said that Liyue was haunted, she would handle it. After all, if people stayed with ghosts for a long time, their lifespan would be shortened. But now, Li Pan actually said that there was a ghost here?!

"It's not a ghost, but a ghost-like spirit. Would you like to take a look first?"

Hu Tao rubbed her fair chin with her small hands and looked at Li Pan suspiciously. She could see that Li Pan's vitality was intact and he didn't look like someone who lived with a ghost.

"Okay, I'll take a look then."

"Guest, please wait a moment."

After saying that, Li Pan walked into the store, and soon he came out with a walking candle.

This candle has short arms and yellow eyes the size of green beans, and the wick on top of its head burns with a blue flame.

“Candle…Candle…”

As soon as Zhuguangling saw Hutao, her pea-sized yellow eyes flashed with excitement.

It staggered to Hu Tao's front and waved its short arms vigorously.

"This...it has a physical body, but it carries a yin aura?"

Hu Tao squatted down, poked Zhu Guangling's little face gently with her fingers, and said with some surprise.

She had never seen such a strange creature.
