Chapter 384 Darkrai is tempted
"..."
Li Luochen remained silent for a long while, his expression changing from surprise to speechlessness.
hateful!
Would Li Luochen be the kind of person who sells Crescent Moon Feathers by the pound?
He's tamed countless mythical beasts and magical creatures; when has he ever done something as degrading as "selling by weight"?!
Ye Tian really doesn't trust himself at all!
Li Luochen took a deep breath, trying his best to maintain his composure, but the slight twitching at the corner of his mouth betrayed his true feelings.
The middle-aged man cautiously observed his expression and tentatively spoke up, "Um... Mr. Li? Actually, Committee Member Ye was just joking, please don't take it to heart..."
"I didn't take it to heart," Li Luochen said calmly, then paused, "Where is the Crescent Feather?"
Middle-aged man: ? ? ?
Good guy.
Upon hearing Li Luochen's words, the middle-aged man silently gave Committee Member Ye a thumbs up in his heart. His foresight was truly remarkable.
He chuckled awkwardly, wiped away non-existent cold sweat from his forehead, and quickly changed the subject.
If they continued talking, he was afraid he would really be forced to lead the way to pluck the feathers.
"Speaking of which," the middle-aged man coughed lightly, naturally changing the subject, "Mr. Li, why don't you send your Darkrai out to take a look now? It would be good for us to see it and be able to cooperate in taking care of it in the future."
"Alright."
Li Luochen pulled himself out of his jumbled thoughts and nodded.
He took the luxurious sphere from his waist and pressed it lightly with his finger—
A red light flashed.
Darkrai's figure slowly appeared in the secret realm.
As soon as it appeared, it slightly raised its head and scanned its surroundings, as if sensing something.
My tense body gradually relaxed, and my breathing became much more even.
"This is..." Li Luochen keenly noticed its change.
The middle-aged man explained with a smile, "After all, Cresselia has lived in this secret realm for a long time, and the residual power of the crescent moon will naturally balance the nightmare aura. Your Darkrai can recuperate here without worrying about affecting other Pokémon."
Darkrai also gave a soft "hmm" at this moment, which can be regarded as his approval of the place.
It turned to look at Li Luochen, its eyes showing a rare hint of relief.
Li Luochen smiled and reached out to pat its shoulder.
"Then let him rest here for now, and we'll talk about it again once he's healed."
Darkrai nodded and did not struggle or resist any further.
It found a quiet corner, slowly sat down, closed its eyes, and finally truly relaxed.
Li Luochen wasn't in a hurry to leave.
He stood on the grass in the secret realm, watching Darkrai gradually relax in that quiet corner before turning his gaze to the middle-aged man beside him.
"By the way, I haven't asked how to address you yet?"
The middle-aged man was taken aback for a moment, seemingly not expecting Li Luochen to bring this up. He quickly recovered and smiled as he extended his hand.
"Lin E. Lin, the crocodile in Shuangmu Lin. A local of Rongcheng, who grew up on this beach."
Li Luochen shook hands with him: "You've worked hard, always stationed in a place like this."
"Hey, what's so hard about it?" Lin E waved his hand, his tone simple and honest. "I don't have any grand ambitions. When I joined the alliance, the higher-ups asked me where I wanted to go, and I said anywhere was fine. But then Committee Member Ye... he was still a branch minister at the time, and he transferred me here to guard the secret realm. I've been guarding it for over ten years."
He looked around and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"To be honest, this job is pretty good. It's peaceful, the scenery is beautiful, and I get to interact with Pokémon every day. It's much better than sitting in an office at a branch office."
Li Luochen glanced at him.
Lin E was probably in his forties. His skin was tanned dark by the sea breeze, and there were several deep lines at the corners of his eyes when he smiled, but he was full of energy.
Those eyes were clear and bright, and they certainly didn't look like someone who had been honed by the workplace.
"Ten years or so?" Li Luochen was somewhat surprised. "Never thought about transferring back?"
Lin E shook his head, his tone frank: "Why would I be transferred back? This is my home. My wife and kids are in Rongcheng, I can go back to visit them on weekends. I spend my free time here guarding the secret realm, feeding Pokémon, life is very comfortable."
He pointed to the Pokémon leisurely strolling on the grass in the distance, a hint of pride in his smile: "Don't be fooled by the number of these little guys; I can name every single one of them."
"It's great," Li Luochen said sincerely.
Lin E chuckled and scratched the back of his head: "Of course. But the most exciting thing today is seeing Da Clay in person. I'll tell my wife about Kentaro later, and she definitely won't believe me."
"Clay~"
They hadn't been talking for long when a long, drawn-out cry came from afar.
Li Luochen looked in the direction of the sound and saw a Pokémon shaped like a crescent moon drifting leisurely over.
It has a deep purple body, a yellow belly, and crescent-shaped yellow decorations extending from both sides of its head, swaying slightly as if the crescent moon is swaying in the night sky.
What is most striking are its pair of azure ring-shaped wings, which extend from the sides to the back, forming a complete arc with a faint glow at the edges.
Pokémon: Cresselia (Shin-rare Legendary Pokémon)
[Attribute: Superpower]
[Level: 75]
【Characteristic: Levitation】
[Moves: Crescent Moon Dance, Crescent Moon Prayer, Moon Power, Moonlight... others omitted.]
Li Luochen recognized the other person at a glance.
It really is Cresselia, and a different color at that!
"Clay~"
It let out another soft cry, as if greeting the forest crocodile.
Lin'e smiled and waved at it: "Creselia, you're here? You brought a new friend today, let's get to know each other."
Cresselia's gaze fell on Li Luochen, circled around him, and finally stopped in front of him, tilting her head slightly.
Not far away, Darkrai opened his eyes and stared at Cresselia with his eyes half-closed.
Then it froze.
The moonlight shone on Cresselia, bathing her in a pure white halo.
Darkrai stared at the figure, his expression shifting from languid to focused.
Its face turned slightly red at this moment.
That awful injury is making me feel hot!
Darkrai thought to himself, his heart inexplicably skipping a few beats.
It quickly turned its head away, pretending to look at the floating island in the distance, but its peripheral vision couldn't help but drift towards Cresselia.
At this moment, Darkrai was like a boy secretly watching his crush, huddled in a corner, his face flushed.
Darkrai was even relieved that he was injured, as he could explain his blushing by saying he was "not feeling well." Although no one noticed anything unusual about him.
My heart fluttered too fast, like a tornado.
Darkrai covered his face with his hands, trying to calm himself down.
You can't watch this, or you'll be hooked!
"Klay~" (Hello~)
Cresselia's voice came into Darkrai's ear.
This made it instinctively look over and meet its gaze.
Oh my god, she's so cute!
The relationship between the two Pokémon is like this:
