The beret girl smiled sweetly, her voice full of excitement and surprise, as if a ring bear accidentally found a large jar of sweetness that was not guarded by the three bees and the queen bee.
This metaphor is not accurate, because the appearance of the girl and the circle bear are two extremes, one is tall, fat, and fierce, and the other is slim, beautiful, delicate, and pleasant.
Xia Chen had a guess, but he was not sure, so he pretended to be confused and asked: "Sorry, have we met before? Are you...?"
The Qianli eyes on the side were slightly contemptuous, and he could even forget the girl's name. What was the word that young man often said...scumbag!
Fengyuan is a good husband, a gentleman, and Qianli said this in his heart.
"Ah, sorry, I forgot to introduce myself!"
The girl subconsciously tidied up her delicate hair accessories, which were not messy, and looked a little shy and nervous.
Taking courage, she introduced herself: "My name is Serena. I come from the Kalos region. I am working hard to become an excellent coordination trainer like you, senior!"
Sure enough, it’s Semei!
Seeing this "wise girl" that he liked most in his previous life, Xia Chen felt a little happy in his heart.
He looked at the slim girl in front of him with admiration.
Unlike Zi Gongxiang who was in her early teens in the anime and was able to travel independently, Serena should be seventeen or eighteen years old, which is the most youthful and beautiful age for a girl.
With a height of nearly 1.7 meters, the girl's figure is very slender. Her beautiful and charming face is even more beautiful with exquisite light makeup. Coupled with some cute trinkets, anyone who sees her on the road can't help but look back.
Take another look.
It's just that my figure still has some... room to grow.
Ah... Semei, who is seventeen or eighteen years old, is indeed as beautiful as I imagined before.
Having fulfilled his wish to see the seventeen-year-old girl, Xia Chen withdrew his admiring gaze with satisfaction.
…………
When you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares into you.
Xia Chen's generous and frank admiring gaze caught Serena's eyes. Although she was a little shy, what she felt in her heart was more of a secret joy of "Fortunately, I dressed up well today."
She had her hands behind her back, and her two slender white fingers were twisting randomly in a place where Xia Chen couldn't see.
"Well, senior, do you still remember? When you were traveling in the Kalos region last year, there was a live broadcast when you passed through Lienli Town, and a barrage asked you a question..."
Xia Chen smiled and said: "Of course I remember, you are the rhino rider, right?"
"No, that's what my mother wants me to do!"
Serena denied with a blushing face, and then looked at Xia Chen sincerely, "But... thank you for remembering!"
Xia Chen smiled. He had only done live broadcasts a few times, not to mention Serena's messages, which naturally left a deep impression.
It's not good for a girl to stand all the time. After getting to know each other, Xia Chen invited her to sit down and rest next to her, and Serena readily agreed.
Some people are happy and some are sad. As sweet as the smile on Serena's face is, a certain little girl's complexion is just as bad.
This has nothing to do with the relationship between men and women. It's just that Xia Chen is Xijana's only reliance when she first came to the unfamiliar outside world.
Serena's appearance made her vaguely feel that this girl might share this dependence or even take it away.
The little purple buzz bat with two exaggeratedly large ears sensed the trainer's bad mood and nuzzled her in confusion and worry.
Xia Chen rubbed the little girl's head to comfort her, then turned to Serena and introduced: "This is my sister Shijana, and this is Mr. Qianli, the owner of the Chenghua Gym. We are currently traveling together.
partner."
Qianli nodded calmly, and Shijana, who had received some psychological comfort, also pouted and said hello to Serena.
Although she had already introduced them when talking to Xia Chen before, she officially knew Qianli and Shijana. The girl still said it again openly, "Hello, I am Serena."
At this point, several people are officially acquainted.
…………
Serena sat down next to Xia Chen, and the fairy Ibrahimovic who led this wonderful fate looked at Xia Chen's fairy cloth timidly. She felt entangled that she had seen her idol and wanted to get closer but she didn't dare to.
However, as the eldest sister of all fairies, Eevee was very friendly and took the initiative to reach out to her new friend.
Fairy Eevee's silk fabric not only functions as a universal tool, but can also convey one's emotions through it.
Feeling the friendliness of his idol, Sebu's expression changed from uneasy to happy, and he leaned closer to him little by little.
Xianbu hugged him with silk and satin, raised his little paws with a wicked smile, exposed his little tiger teeth and licked the little junior.
I was touched by Xia Chen day by day, and today I finally found a chance to touch the fairy cloth and experience Xia Chen's usual feelings.
Open rua!
Ignoring the two fairy cloths, one big and one small, fighting on the table, Xia Chen handed over a glass of iced peach juice and asked guessingly: "So is Miss Serena also going to Liuli City to participate in the gorgeous contest?"
"Thank you...Senior, just call me Serena~"
Serena took the juice with a straw thoughtfully inserted into it and took a sip in a very ladylike manner.
Mmm, so sweet!
After the fresh and cool juice slid into her mouth and into her body, Serena said: "Yes, I have been a coordination trainer for a full year, and I also won the fifth gorgeous ribbon in Aromatherapy City last month.
, barely getting tickets to the gorgeous celebration.”
The official name of the second World Gorgeous Contest is Gorgeous Celebration. To participate, you need to win the glamor contest held in different cities and obtain five ribbons.
The qualifications for the ordinary glamorous competition follow the [senior-level entry] of the first glamorous competition.
In other words, Serena not only grew into a senior trainer within this year, but also won the gorgeous competition in five different cities.
"What an amazing achievement."
Xia Chen praised sincerely.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Serena was not overly modest and accepted Xia Chen's praise calmly, "Yes, for this, Fairy Ibrahimovic and I, as well as the Demon Fire Red Fox, Super Miao
Meow, they put in a lot of effort!”
The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention.
Qianli on the side suddenly thought of his son Ruby. He seemed to have worked very hard since last year and grew up very fast.
At first, he thought that his son had finally inherited his will and began to pursue power.
It wasn't until two months ago that he accidentally discovered the four sparkling gorgeous satins hidden by Ruby, and after searching the Internet for information about the gorgeous contest, he finally understood the truth.
The two confronted each other, Qianli thought it was a plaything to lose one's ambition, while Ruby insisted that it was her dream.
All the conflicts that had been accumulated before finally broke out, and the two people, who had a fierce conflict of ideas, had a big quarrel, and then Ruby ran away from home.
After being calm for more than two months, Qianli finally relented. After finding out that Ruby had qualified for the gorgeous celebration, he decided to go see his son quietly.
Then, of course, I met Xia Chen and Shijana in the Orange Forest.
…………
When his thoughts returned to the present, this girl who had the same dream as Ruby was thanking Xia Chen.
"...At that time, if my senior hadn't encouraged me during the live broadcast, I don't think I would have dared to confess my dream to my mother, let alone what I am today."
Qianli Moran, this situation was so similar to that of his family. Unfortunately, Ruby had no intention of talking to him properly, and she... didn't seem to have the intention to listen to his voice.
Am I wrong?
This man who had spent his whole life pursuing ultimate power began to doubt himself.
However, the more persistent a person is, the more stubborn he becomes. This is not the first time Qianli has doubted himself, but he still feels that his idea is right, at least until now.
Maybe it's like Xia Chen said, he can't get his own answer until after watching this gorgeous celebration, right?
"Ah, by the way, I almost forgot to introduce my partner."
After drinking a glass of Taotao juice, Serena remembered that her other elves were still in the elf balls. She took out three elf balls from her bag and opened them one by one.
Three white lights flashed in sequence, and the elves that emerged from the ball were the demon fire red fox, the super-powerful Miaomiao, and a naughty panda.
Xia Chen subconsciously sensed that the first two, like Serena's Fairy Eevee, were both senior-level, while the naughty panda was only amateur-level and should have been conquered not long ago.
The demon fire red fox has a calm personality and is more friendly. Although he was a little surprised to see so many strangers and elves suddenly, he still greeted them gracefully.
Super Miaomiao behaved a little coldly. As soon as he came out, he floated behind Serena and looked at Xia Chen and the others warily.
Super Mew is a kind of elf with male and female appearances. The male Super Mew is overall indigo with white stripes, while the female is the opposite.
Serena's cat is a little white cat. Her ears are folded down, sealing the terrifying spiritual power in them. Her rather cold world-weary face is quite cute.
"Super Miaomiao, don't be so rude."
After being taught a lesson by Serena, this super-powerful cat flew over reluctantly and said hello.
"Sorry, that's just her character, but she's actually very good."
The girl mentioned her willful spirit and explained.
The last naughty panda's personality is completely opposite to that of Super Miaomiao. He is simply a social butterfly.
While Super Miaomiao was still hiding behind Serena, the naughty panda had already jumped up to the King of Leave who was lazily sleeping in the corner with a bamboo leaf in his mouth.
The demon fire red fox sighed, ran over and picked up the naughty panda skillfully, while the leave king just scratched his butt and turned over to continue sleeping, not even willing to open his eyes to see who climbed up.
…………
Since the two had the same destination, after chatting for a while, Xia Chen extended an invitation to Serena to go together.
The girl chose to accept it without any hesitation, so the number of members in Xia Chen's tour group expanded for the third time.
However, there will be no more traditional travel activities like passing through the Chenghua Forest for the rest of the journey.
First, because the gorgeous celebration is about to start, they need to rush to Liuli City within a few days.
The second reason is that with this damn weather, walking outside is not even a trip, it’s simply suffering.
After some discussion, they decided to rent a car at this elf center and drive directly to Zijin City, a hundred kilometers away——
Flying with elves in this kind of weather makes the elves uncomfortable...
After finalizing their decision, the four of them and the elves had a brief lunch in the restaurant of the Elf Center, and then went to the parking lot behind to rent a car.
To avoid the hottest period, at three o'clock in the afternoon, a few people set out and drove to Zijin City.
The journey of more than 100 kilometers is not a long one, and it only took more than two hours with a slight traffic jam.
At around five o'clock, Xia Chen and his party arrived at Zijin City, a city located in the center of the Fengyuan region.
Before the rise of Karnaz City due to the Devon Group, it was once the hub of the Hoenn region, a central city in the true sense rather than the geographical sense.
A very interesting thing is that every region Xia Chen traveled to had a similar city.
Miare City in the Carlos region, Niangguang City in the Padea region, and the city of Hoenn joy, Violet City.
In the huge Central Park in the center of the city stands a corner column tower, imitated from the Prism Tower in Miare, which is a symbol of mutual friendship between the two cities.
As they drove by, Serena, who was sitting in the back seat, looked through the car window and almost thought she was back in her hometown of Miare.
After returning the car to the Elf Center in Zijin City, the group checked into a nearby hotel.
When it came time to buy air tickets, several people were dumbfounded. All the air tickets from Zijin City to Liuli City were sold out!
Not only today and tomorrow, but until the 9th, the day of the opening ceremony of the gorgeous celebration, not a single ticket is available.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content!…………
"So... exaggerated?"
Xia Chen twitched the corners of his lips, even if it was the Spring Festival travel in that world, it was nothing more than that, right?
Qianli analyzed: "It should not only be the reason for your gorgeous celebration, the hot weather is also an important factor. Liuli City is originally a summer resort in the Fengyuan region, but it is so exaggerated this year."
Xia Chen nodded helplessly.
But no matter what, it has become an established fact that the ticket is gone.
Serena was the most anxious of all. She worried: "What should we do? There is only one week until the opening ceremony."
Xia Chen comforted him: "Don't worry, even if you drive there and take the ferry, it will still take three days, and there is no other way."
Qian Li also said: "It's okay, I'll take care of it. I have a good relationship with Uncle Tie Xuan, he should be able to help with this."
Iron spin?
Xia Chen was very impressed with this museum owner. In the background of the game, Zijin City was founded by this old naughty kid who was always laughing. His financial resources were immeasurable.
Although this world is not that exaggerated, it should not be much different. I wonder if I can borrow a private jet to come here.
And since Qianli has a solution, Xia Chen doesn't plan to call Kuroda. After all, the relationship with Dewen Group is not that deep, and it's not good to bother others all the time.
After discussing the matter of going to Liuli City, Qianli left and went to Zijin Gym to drink with Tie Xuan and build relationships.
Tu Qiong saw that at least a short section of the map was needed, so it was a bit strange to directly ask for help.
Xia Chen took Serena and Xijana to visit Zijin City at dusk.
Compared with the fashion of Miare City, Nianguang City is full of technology. Ziyang City, known as the "Happy City", also has its own characteristics, which is a relaxed and entertaining atmosphere.
When the most famous landmarks of a city are the game city, the food court, and Central Park, followed by the gym, then the overall style of the city is not difficult to imagine.
When you come to Zijin City, you naturally have to experience its most unique food court.
Mu Shou Gong Sandwich, Fire Pheasant Egg Waffles, Water Jumping Fish Meatballs, Little Magnemite Shake, Purple Pansy Assorted Fried Noodles...
These scary-sounding snack names actually have nothing to do with those elves. Most of them are made to look like elves for the sake of gimmicks. However, they are well-known and taste very good.
…………
Although the weather is hot, it does not affect the enthusiasm of Zijin citizens and tourists.
The food court, which is as big as an elven arena, is crowded with people and elves coming and going.
The alluring aroma of various delicacies and snacks floats in the air, mixing together, making the square full of joyful fireworks.
If I have to make an analogy, this place is like a summer festival held every day. Well... to put it in Donghuang's terms, it's a temple fair.
This was the first time Xijana came to a place with so many people. Xia Chen was afraid that the little girl would get too crazy and get lost, so he held her little hand.
Speaking of which, Xia Chen has been in this world for more than two years and has never held a girl's hand a few times. He has only Mingyi and Sirona, and Xiaoxi is the third one.
However, when holding hands with the first two, Xia Chen was always a little distracted. Holding Xiao Xi's little hand, it was the pure feeling of bringing a sister or even a daughter.
Serena walked on the other side of Xia Chen, and from time to time she lowered her head and glanced at the sight of Xia Chen and Xijana holding small hands. Her white little hands were shaking around, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Because there are quite a lot of people in the food court, there is not much space to release all the elves. The only ones around the three of them are Gardevoir, Guluton, Demon Fire Red Fox, and other elves that can stand and walk, as well as those lying on Shijana's head.
buzzing bat.
The naughty panda is not that big, but with its naughty nature, it will 100% get lost.
The two girls are not picky eaters. They buy whatever they see. If they feel it doesn't taste good after taking a bite, they throw it to Xia Chen.
If you think it's delicious... then take two bites and then throw it to Xia Chen.
These snacks are rich in oil and heavy seasonings. You may feel amazing after the first few bites, but you will get tired of them after eating them. Besides, Xia Chen doesn’t have such a big appetite, so after two bites, he gave them to Gu Ledun.
Therefore, Luton was not a picky eater, and he did not mind the possibility of getting two or three people's saliva on him. He would swallow it in just two mouthfuls, and sometimes he wouldn't even spit out the wooden and iron skewers, which made many passers-by look horrified.
So, after shopping around and eating for more than half an hour, the three of us didn't even feel full.
At seven o'clock, the twilight skyline was completely dim, the beautiful neon lights lit up on time, and the food court became more like a night market.
…………
Sipping on the sweet and sour iced inkberry juice, the three of them walked slowly to a stall with a large queue.
As we all know, judging whether a roadside stall is delicious or not depends on how many people line up. There may be Internet celebrity shops that rely on gimmicks, but generally there are not Internet celebrity stalls.
After letting Serena and Xiao Xi queue up, Xia Chen bypassed the long queue and came to the stall, where he discovered that this was the famous [Purple Cordyce Assorted Fried Noodles].
As a delicacy spread from Donghuang and widely popular around the world, assorted fried noodles are very common.
And to be able to turn an ordinary dish of assorted fried noodles into a signature dish in the food court, this store must have its own secret recipe.
Xia Chen, who was also a cook, watched the middle-aged man's frying process with great interest for a while.
The stall is set up in a common food truck, and apart from the uncle, there is only one weirdo who helps.
Cut carrots, cabbage, color peppers into shreds, dice mushrooms, process some kind of shredded squid-like seafood, steam noodles... Guai Li's four hands basically never rested.
Xia Chen seriously suspected that the stall owner chose Guai Li as his helper because of his four hands.
In this case, wouldn't it be better to choose the eight-clawed martial artist? It also has four extra hands...
Well, it's also possible that the ingredients in the fried noodles are similar to the Octopus Warriors, and the kind-hearted stall owner doesn't want the octopuses to kill each other.
The middle-aged uncle was making fried noodles very quickly. Xia Chen was still thinking wildly, and the queue had already reached Serena and Shijana.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Semei looked at the dishes on the dining car and hesitated for a while before ordering, "Boss, one seafood dish and one vegan dish."
"okay!"
The boss responded with a quick response and moved the shovel as fast as he could. Within five minutes, two portions of hot fried noodles were freshly baked.
"Here, take it, be careful not to burn it."
With the boss's thoughtful reminder, Serina took two portions of fried noodles and three pairs of chopsticks from Guai Li's hands.
…………
The three of them sat down at the table next to the dining car, opened the lid, and the aroma of pot gas hit their nostrils.
"Hmm...it smells good!"
Serena sniffed, couldn't wait to pick up a chopstick, and swallowed it wholeheartedly.
"Well...good time! Senior...you should try it too."
Serena, who didn't take the stall owner's words to heart, was burned to the point of having a big tongue and couldn't speak clearly. The demon fire red fox quickly handed over the inkberry juice.
Xia Chen smiled and tried the famous [Purple Corydalis Assorted Fried Noodles]. Judging from the perspective of a professional chef, the first bite was really amazing.
The noodles are chewy, the ingredients are fresh, the heat is just right, and some secret sauce seems to have been added. Overall, it is completely worthy of its reputation.
"Gardevoir, you should try it too."
Xia Chen picked up a chopstick and handed it over. Gardevoir keenly observed the drops of crystal liquid on the chopsticks, and ate it with a blushing face.
However, no matter how delicious the fried noodles were, they could not catch their stomachs. Each of them took a few bites, and the rest of the fried noodles went into Gulton's stomach.
The three of them just walked around and ate until after nine o'clock. In the end, it was not Serena or Xiao Xi who was the first to ask for an end, but the one who basically ate Guluton without stopping for three hours.
"I'm really...full, burp——"
Therefore, Luton raised his head and let out a long burp that could be called a dragon's roar. The three of them just stopped there without saying anything.
For Zijin City, a city that never sleeps, nightlife has just begun.
Xia Chen, who was doing as the Romans did, did not go back to the hotel immediately. Instead, he and the two girls took a walk to the nearby Central Park.
In the night sky, the corner tower standing in the center of Central Park exudes a bright and soft gradient light, attracting countless bird spirits to rest on it.
Looking up from below, the tower body, which is only over 100 meters long, is like the Tower of Babel reaching the sky, extending infinitely upwards, inviting people to climb.
"I heard that this tower is the largest battle tower in the Hoenn region. If you're lucky, you can even meet Gym King-level opponents at higher levels. Do you want to give it a try, senior?"
Girls always like to make strategies before traveling. Serena, who knows a lot about the Corner Tower, introduced it this way.
Before Xia Chen could answer, Xijana raised her little hand and said excitedly: "I want to go, I want to go!"
"Forget it, everyone is playing a 3v3 game, and you only have two elves, why are you there?"
Xia Chen attacked.
He knew Shijana's details very clearly. Apart from an elite Tyrannosaurus that grew up with her, there was only one buzz bat that had just been subdued.
Shijana was unconvinced and said: "Then I'll wear them three times!"
Xia Chen smiled and touched the cute and arrogant Sijana, and said, "Okay, okay, I have to go to Liuli City tomorrow. I'll fight you there."
After getting the promise, Xiao Xi gave up.
After walking around Central Park, the three of them returned to the hotel to rest.
It's a pity that I don't have time to visit the most famous local game city, so I can only make up for it when I pass by Zijin City next time.
…………
Qianli was brought back by the leave king in the middle of the night, smelling of alcohol.
It can be seen that this guy is usually quite lazy, but he is still reliable at critical moments.
With Happy Egg taking care of him, Xia Chen didn't need Xia Chen's help. After cooking him a bowl of sobering soup and drinking it, Qianli barely managed to wake up.
His first words after waking up were, "This old guy... wait until he comes to Chenghua City, and sooner or later he will get drunk..."
Xia Chen was speechless. What's going on? Can the amount of drinking be reversed in another place?
"Xiaochen, you are here too..."
Although he was a little confused, Qianli could still recognize people.
"Don't worry...it's done! I borrowed the old man's private jet."
The drunken Qianli lost his usual composure and started talking nonsense after saying this.
Xia Chen was afraid that he would do something shocking again, so he hurriedly left and returned to his room.
A night of silence.
The next day, Qianli greeted Xia Chen in a calm tone as usual in the hotel's cafeteria.
"Good morning, the matter is settled. I borrowed a private jet from Uncle Tie Xuan."
Xia Chen secretly laughed in his heart. Last night when he was drunk, he called people "old man". Now he started calling people "uncle" again. Honest people don't look honest.
He complained in his heart and replied: "I know, you said it yesterday."
"Ah, did I say that?"
Qianli was stunned, then frowned, leaned closer and asked softly: "Then I didn't say anything else yesterday, right?"
Xia Chen made up in a serious tone: "Yes, you regarded me as Ruby, saying things like "I've always been proud of you", and you also said you supported me in pursuing my dream."
He wanted to take this opportunity to ease the conflict between father and son.
Qianli stared at Xia Chen suspiciously for a while, but finally said nothing.
After breakfast, the four of them arrived at Zijin Airport. Although there were no public flights, there were Tiexuan's private planes.
Many people's personalities can be gleaned from other aspects, such as the plane Tie Xuan in front of us.
It is sprayed with thunderchus, naughty thunder bombs, electric dragons, self-destructing magnets and other nearly ten electric elves. They are most likely the baby elves of Iron Spin. On the head of the machine is his toothy grinning one-handed biye.
The graffiti is truly a "pain machine".
However, it was good that he was willing to borrow it. Xia Chen was not in a position to be picky and boarded the plane with Tie Xuan's private crew.
Private jets are different from ordinary airplanes. They don't need so much space for passenger seats. The remaining space is naturally used for Tiexuan's comfortable service... Of course, the four people enjoying the service today are Xia Chen.
Bars, restaurants, bedrooms, audio-visual entertainment rooms, except for things like Elf Battlefield that occupy a large area, most of the entertainment facilities are here.
After spending two hours in a cabin decorated no differently from a hotel luxury room, the flight slowly passed through the clouds and landed.
