Shuimei City was not far from Zhensha Town, and it would only take half a day's journey by ferry.
Lu Ye stood on the deck of the third floor of the ferry and looked at the blue sea. The loud cries of long-winged gulls rang in his ears.
Some people were chatting in the wind on the deck, and some were having Pokémon battles.
A few of them recognized Mr. Lu and covered their mouths to exclaim in a low voice.
Lu Ye smiled back, leaving an indelible impression on the beautiful girls in bikinis.
"No one wants to fight me?"
Lu Ye was puzzled. "Don't they say that if you look at each other, you have to give me pocket money … Ahem, you have to fight with Pokémon?"
Obviously, no trainer was stupid enough to find trouble with the champion. Except for the NPCs in the game.
Lu Ye watched the amateur battles on the deck and observed the gains of the few sea fishers today.
The sea breeze brushed his face, and the Agate Jellyfish's "gem" exposed on the surface of the sea sparkled in the sun.
"Caw Caw ~" Geng Gui squatted next to the fish bucket of the sea fishers and teased the big pincer crab that was spitting bubbles.
Suddenly, the tourists pointed at a Violent Carp Dragon that was standing upright on the surface of the sea and patrolling.
Click —
People kept taking pictures. The Violent Carp Dragon turned its big head and looked unhappy. "Roar!"
Inadvertently, the Violent Carp Dragon glanced at Geng Gui on the deck.
It turned its head again, growled (Bad luck), and swam away faster.
Lu Ye: "…"
"Caw Caw!" Geng Gui grinned.
He grabbed the big pincer crab with both hands and handed it to Lu Ye as if it was a treasure.
The sea fisher opened his mouth and looked at Mr. Lu, but didn't say anything in the end.
"Put it back," Lu Ye said helplessly. "We're almost at Shuimei City."
"Caw Caw ~" Geng Gui nodded obediently and threw it away.
He threw the big pincer crab back into the sea.
Splash —
Mr. Lu: "…"
The sea fisher: "…"
They looked at each other, speechless.
Beep —
A long whistle sounded. The port where the white ferry was docked was close at hand.
Mr. Lu put Geng Gui back into the pokeball.
He blended into the crowd and hurried down the deck.
…
She was wearing a white coat and a pair of fashionable sunglasses on her curly orange hair.
Sonia supported Professor Mulan as they walked down the stairs of the ferry.
"What's wrong, Sonia?" Professor Mulan leaned on her walking stick and asked softly.
"I think... I saw someone familiar," Sonia stared at the center of the crowd and tried her best to identify that person.
"Many scholars have arrived in Shuimei City in the past few days. It's normal to see acquaintances," Professor Mulan said. "If you're sure, go and have a chat. I'll wait for you here."
"I'll be right back!" said Sonia.
"I'm not so old that I can't walk the path," Professor Mulan replied calmly.
With light footsteps, Sonia walked to Mr Lu, who was buying crepes from a vendor at the corner of the street. She patted his shoulder.
Mr Lu's body tensed up. He instinctively swung his fist backward and blew at Sonia's curly orange hair.
Qi waves rolled over and over. Fortunately, he stopped in time. Otherwise, the Alchemy Emperor might have come knocking on his door.
Lu Ye said, "You scared me!"
"I … I'm the one who's fine." Sonia's eyes were brimming with tears. "I'm just here to say hello, but you treated me like this!"
Lu Ye scratched his head in embarrassment. "Sorry, it's just a body instinct. I'll be more careful next time."
Wave Guide Power was more like an active skill. It consumed a lot of mana and mental strength to keep it active. This was also why Mr Lu couldn't distinguish between the two.
And the reaction speed trained by "Close Combat" allowed him to make a countermove in an instant.
As Mr Lu comforted her, he praised inwardly, I'm so strong!
"Seriously."
Sonia's cheeks were flushed with blood. She heaved a long sigh of relief.
"I forgive you!"
In the distance, a beautiful blonde in black turned the corner and walked toward the rendezvous point.
With a faint smile, Sirona raised her eyebrows and stopped in her tracks.
A man and a woman were talking.
Lu Ye said, "Sorry, it's just a body instinct. I'll be more careful next time."
Sonia said, "Seriously, I forgive you!"
After thinking for a few seconds.
Sirona smiled, and her eyes curved into crescents.
Tap, tap, tap —
The sound of high heels clicking on the ground and the powerful aura made the tourists unconsciously make way for her.
Lu Ye was exchanging pleasantries with Sonia when he suddenly felt a sense of danger explode in his spine.
Even when facing the Twin Dragons of Time and Space, he had never experienced this level of horror.
Cold sweat dripped down Mr Lu's forehead. He was slightly stunned when the beautiful blonde's figure appeared in his field of vision.
"Sirona?"
With a smile, the beautiful blonde's black clothes swayed in the wind as she walked over leisurely.
In an instant, Mr Lu's heart skipped a beat.
Murderous intent!
This was a materialized murderous intent!
Sonia opened her mouth and looked around at Lu Ye and Sirona. Her face was still red from her palpitations.
Sirona glanced at Sonia and said with a smile, "Long time no see."
"Ah, yes, yes …" Sonia stammered. "The last time was at the Gongmen City Arena."
"How's that young man?"
"Thanks, thanks to you and Mr Lu, Jon's life is no longer in danger. He's undergoing rehabilitation treatment …"
It was a normal conversation, and Sirona's smile was very gentle.
However, the tourists around them were getting fewer and fewer.
The shop owner put up a closed sign and hurried back inside with his daughter, who was sucking her fingers.
A bleak wind blew through the commercial street, rolling up the leaves.
Sirona and Sonia chatted happily. The atmosphere was harmonious and harmonious.
Mr Lu was speechless.
Tightening his thin clothes, Lu Ye glanced at Geng Gui, whose face was stiff.
"Kou Jie?" Geng Gui swallowed.
I didn't do anything, so why is everyone so afraid?
I've always been innocent. Why do I need to explain?
Lu Ye cleared his throat and was about to speak.
Sirona smiled gently and looked over. "?"
A Fierce Land Shark!
It was the gaze of a Fierce Land Shark!
"Did you just arrive in Shuimei City today?" Sirona asked with a smile.
"Yes, because I have to participate in the exhibition tomorrow." Sonia shivered.
"What a coincidence. You met someone you know?"
"Ah, no, Miss Sirona, let me explain …"
It was only then that Sonia realized that Miss Zhu Lan had misunderstood.
However …
Sonia felt wronged.
I'm the one who's hurt!
She was almost punched and interrogated, but the two of them were still showing off their affection …
It's too difficult. I shouldn't have come to Shuimei City! (; ́ (OД)) (`)
"Sonia." Professor Mulan walked over slowly with her walking stick. "Are these the two people you were talking about?"
Sirona was slightly surprised. "Professor Mulan?"
"Long time no see, Zhu Lan."
Professor Mulan nodded slightly.
"I heard that you and Lu Ye are on the same team. I believe that you can produce results that you can be proud of."
Sirona glanced at Lu Ye, who was standing straight, and asked Professor Mulan.
"How did you know …"
"Professor Mustard Orchid told me."
Professor Mulan smiled.
"Sonia and I just arrived in Shuimei City. We didn't expect to meet the two of you."
Just arrived in Shuimei City …
Sirona gradually realized what was going on.
A blush appeared on her cheeks. She quickly hummed and lowered her head. Her blonde hair scattered.
"Yes … We will definitely work hard."
"The gentleness of her lowering her head is just like a lotus flower."
Mr. Lu was admiring her side profile when he was suddenly confused.
Lu Ye: "We?"
Sirona tugged at Mr. Lu, and the two of them bowed to the senior.
Professor Mulan leaned on her walking stick and smiled kindly.
"The two of you remind me of Sonia and Dendi …"
"Grandma!" This time, it was Sonia's turn to be shy.
"Haha, alright, Zhu Lan, lead the way. You should be more familiar with Shuimei City than us. "
"No problem." Sirona tucked her blonde hair behind her ear and smiled. "Let's go to the guesthouse of the Shuimei City Library first."
Sirona turned around and walked gracefully in front.
Lu Ye followed and asked in a low voice, "Were you jealous just now?"
"No." Sirona looked ahead.
"I said that I won't like anyone other than cute girls …"
"No."
"Huh?"
"Shut up."
Sirona looked ahead, her face blushing. She paused after every word.
"I didn't."
…
Mr. Lu was in a good mood.
He had almost been chopped, but his heart felt warm.
"Here." Lu Ye handed it to Sirona.
"What?" Sirona said reluctantly.
"I was buying crepes at the corner just now, and Sonia came up to say hello."
Lu Ye told her that he had almost punched K.O. Sonia and explained the blush on her face.
"That's what happened." Lu Ye spread his hands.
"Do you think I'll believe it?"
"Geng Gui can testify!"
"Kou Jie!" Geng Gui lifted his eyelids and widened his eyes to show his loyalty.
Sirona crossed her arms and rested her chin on her slender hand. She looked at Geng Gui and Lu Ye.
After a long time, Sirona smiled faintly and said in a low voice, "Go back and prepare the thesis report. Don't slack off."
Lu Ye and Geng Gui looked at each other.
They didn't expect that letting Geng Gui be the mole last time would be a crucial step!
"Thank you, Geng Gui," Lu Ye said with tears in his eyes.
"Kou Jie!" Geng Gui also had a look of relief on his face.
Sirona's gaze fell on the crepes in Lu Ye's hand.
"I was worried that you would be conflicted for another half an hour, so I bought it for you first," Lu Ye said.
"What flavor?"
"Ice cream."
"Okay."
The two of them walked side by side and chewed on the crepes. Geng Gui was in the middle.
"Kou Jie ~ (̄ ~ ̄)"
Sonia looked at the back in front of her and supported her grandmother. She whispered in her ear, "They seem to be very close."
"Just like you and Dendi." Professor Mulan looked indifferent as if she had already seen through everything.
"Grandma!" Sonia shook Professor Mulan's arm. Her eyes were wide open.
Professor Mulan sneered and didn't say anything.
…
The Scientific Research Summit's guest house was near the library.
Cute's room was next to Mr. Lu's.
There were familiar names on the list, such as Dr. Masahiro and Dr. Ohki.
They hadn't arrived yet, and Cute was angry with herself.
However.
It was rare to see Cute jealous. It was inexplicably emotional.
Lu Ye smiled slightly. Suddenly, he felt a chill down his spine.
No, he couldn't court death like Akin.
Next time, the Land Shark might swing a "Double Chop" at him!
Mr. Lu calmed himself down and browsed the introduction of Shuimei City on the official website.
It was getting late outside.
Lu Ye yawned.
The waters of Shuimei City crisscrossed. One could reach the nearby New Moon Island, Full Moon Island, and Steel Island by ferry.
The owner of Steel Island was Ya Xuan, who Lu Ye had met once.
New Moon Island and Full Moon Island were the habitats of Dakrai and Kraxilia.
Thinking of the information that Ma Xiu had mentioned before, Mr. Lu frowned slightly.
There seemed to be an episode on TV that mentioned it.
The God of Nightmare and the God of Dreams would visit Shuimei City every year and fight.
"They wouldn't choose such a day to visit Shuimei City, right …"
Lu Ye walked out of the room and looked up at the gray starry sky. It was quiet all around.
Opening the mission list, Mr. Lu glanced at the "Main Mission".
[Mission Objective: Win the Gold Medal at the Scientific Research Summit in Shuimei City.]
[Mission Reward: Geng Gui Mega Stone * 1]
Mr. Lu's mood was complicated.
If this resonated with Geng Gui's energy … wouldn't he be squeezed dry?
"Dr. Ohki, work harder tomorrow …" Lu Ye murmured.
"Kou Jie?" Geng Gui suddenly looked around and scratched his head strangely.
"What's wrong?"
"Beep beep … Suspicious energy fluctuations detected. Analyzing the sample."
Lothom said, "The analysis results are 90% similar to Dakrai, Lothom!"
Lu Ye curled his lips and smiled.
"Do you think that for me, there's a 90% chance that it's Dakrai?"
Lothom fell into silence.
In the gray haze, the entire Shuimei City seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep. Dark gray clouds blocked all light, and the surroundings were dead silent.
Suddenly, the dark clouds quietly dispersed, revealing a bright new moon. Sparkling fragments of light scattered.
Under the cover of the moonlight, Mr. Lu looked at the noble and hazy figure, and his eyes suddenly widened.
"It's not Dakrai …"
"It's the God of Dreams, Kraxilia?!"
