Chapter 41 The girl who worships the Queen of Sandow
"This is the first time we meet. My name is Xia Ye, and this kid is Pa Dong Monkey."
Xia Ye introduced himself. Residents in the Xicui area were very resistant to outsiders, so they had to keep a good first impression.
"Padong Monkey, this is a Pokémon I've never heard of. You are indeed a traveler from another area." Huo Xia read out Pa Dong Monkey's name word by word.
Then Huo Xia patted the dirt off his trouser legs and looked at Xia Ye's clothes with curious eyes.
"The style of the clothes is something I've never seen before. I still have important things to do. Ah, and thank you gifts, thank you gifts."
Huo Xia rummaged through the bag on her chest, preparing to give the valuable items on her body as a thank you gift to Xia Ye for saving her.
"There's no need to prepare any gifts of thanks," Xia Ye waved his hand, pointing to the sun that was about to sink into the horizon. "And it's getting dark now. Do you really plan to go? Night is more dangerous than day."
"But if you don't hurry up, it will be too late." Huo Xia's tone was very stubborn.
"Then how can we finish it if you fall down?"
"I" Huo Xia recalled how embarrassed she was just now and reluctantly closed her mouth.
"So how about going to a safe place to rest until dawn?"
"I see."
Xia Ye took Huo Xia back to the fire. He took a look at the burning situation of the flames, and then said to Huo Xia:
"Huo Xia, Pa Dong Monkey and I are going to collect some dry branches. You can rest here first."
"I'm going too. I'm not injured, so I can still help." Huo Xia patted his arm and said.
"I understand. Then Huo Xia, you can collect them nearby. I have investigated all the Pokémon around here and they are not very dangerous."
After receiving an affirmative answer, Huo Xia smiled and went to collect dry branches with great interest. As a result, there were a mountain of branches next to the fire. Now it would be no problem to burn until dawn.
"So that's it. Team Vajra believes that the Great Master of Sinnoh who created the Xicui area is the one who controls time." Xia Ye responded to Huo Xia while adding branches.
"Of course, time is the most important thing, ah, but aren't I just wasting time now." Huo Xia's tone was full of pride, but her voice suddenly dropped mid-sentence.
"This is called reasonable allocation of time, and I believe that the Great Master of Sinnoh will agree with it."
"Hehe, Gangshi will definitely refute you when he hears your statement. What he hates most is waiting," Huo Xia paused and continued: "He became the team leader at a very young age, so I have been thinking about me before. Can you also become a field captain?"
"But now it seems that I have overestimated my capabilities." Huo Xia showed a disappointed expression.
"Director?" Xia Ye remembered that Huo Xia did become the director after Huo Xia, and the king she was responsible for taking care of was Miss Kuo'er, Queen of Sandao.
"Xia Ye, it's normal that you don't know that you come from other regions. The field director is responsible for taking care of the Pokémon called kings. They are the most noble beings on the green earth and are the envoys of the Great Lord of Sinnoh."
"And I want to be the field director of the Queen of Sand Road. I had this idea when I first saw it." The girl's red pupils were shining.
"The noble and charming appearance, the agile dancing posture, the inspiring fragrance of flowers, this is what is called beauty."
"From that moment on, I began to pursue beauty, clothing, accessories, makeup, and then haircuts!"
"The last change is too big." Xia Ye complained.
Huo Xia smiled, and then said: "Hey, my friend also has the same tone. Well, this is because I realized that Queen Sandao does not need other things, it is the embodiment of beauty."
"So I learned how to get a haircut so that I can take better care of it. All it needs is a simple trim." "Don't think that I did it on a whim. My skills have been recognized by everyone." Huo Xia said from the bag He took out a pair of scissors and showed off.
The firelight shines on it. The surface of the scissors is smooth and bright, and it looks well maintained. However, if you look closely, you can see many traces of use on the blade. I don't know how many times this scissor has been cut in Huo Xia's hands.
"So what you are anxious to do has something to do with the director?" Xia Ye asked.
"Well, the field director responsible for taking care of Queen Sandow recently resigned. If someone else is chosen to be the next selection this time, I don't know when."
"We will regularly present tributes at the king's field and hold celebrations to express our gratitude. The next celebration will be the moment to decide the field leader. Whoever's tribute is most loved by Queen Sandow will be the new field leader."
Speaking of which, the treasure that suppresses the violent king in the future is also made of the king's favorite things. Thinking of this, Xia Ye asked:
"Huo Xia, are you looking for the tribute with the highest probability of winning?"
Faced with Xia Ye's problem, Huo Xia said very confidently: "I not only win with quality, I also win with quantity. The previous generation director told me the three favorite flowers of Queen Sandao."
"The mist flower on the Yunhai Mountain Road, the silver light flower on the Trial Sandbank, and the wind dew flower on the Yanghu Grassland."
"I want to get each kind, and I have to choose the best of each kind, you see~" Huo Xia took out a delicately crafted sachet from her bag and opened it. Three white flowers lay quietly in it, exuding Emits a light floral fragrance.
The petals are as thin as cicada wings and have an illusory feeling, as misty as white mist, hence the name.
"Hey, it smells good, I carefully selected this." Then Huo Xia's expression changed from joy to disappointment, "But I don't have any confidence in the remaining two flowers now, Xia Ye, you also saw me in a panic during the day. It’s like that.”
"I'll help you."
"I'm just complaining casually. Don't sympathize with me. Besides, becoming a director requires your own efforts and you shouldn't rely on others."
“It’s okay to rely on others occasionally.”
"But, we just met, why do you want to help me?" Huo Xia was very puzzled.
"Maybe it's because I like to be nosy. I admire people who work hard and want to help them."
Well, people like Ma Li exude dazzling light.
"I believe you can take good care of Queen Sandao, so I want to help you."
"Do you feel more confident than me?"
"Because time will tell."
"Xia Ye, now I feel that you and Gang Shi can talk very well." Huo Xia swept away the previous gloom and his tone became lively.
"Well, we are partners now." Huo Xia stretched out his fist, and Xia Ye reached out to touch his fist knowingly.
There are also good people from outsiders. It would be great if the people from the Pearl Team met Xia Ye first.
On the other side, Pa Dong Monkey has also become friends with Lily Root Doll, and now Pa Dong Monkey is improvising for his new friend.
"Well, well, I feel so excited that I can't sleep. Xia Ye, what if we discuss it at night?"
"No, it's late enough. Go to bed so you can have energy tomorrow." Xia Ye handed the blanket to Huo Xia.
"I know~"
