Chapter 168: All the Women Gather at Fengyuan, an Unexpected Visitor!

"Hey, Master Xi Luona!"

Not to mention the bystanders, even Xiao Guang and the others, when they saw Xi Luona, all curiously gathered around.

It made Ka Luni and Xiao Ju'er look a bit unsettled.

Could it be that, without realizing it, a sadly thick barrier has already formed between their fame and Xi Luona's?

"Champion Xi Luona, have you really captured Moltres?"

"Probably not; I saw Moltres fly away at the end."

"What a pity, the way you commanded Moltres in battle was truly exhilarating!"

Facing the crowd, you said a word and I said a word, and Xi Luona answered patiently.

"Thank you, actually I was also surprised and delighted, thanks to Ash."

Fortunately, the crowd's back-and-forth explanations revealed the reason; hearing the cause, the two women exchanged a glance and sighed in relief.

Immediately after came envy,

This is commanding Moltres, a top-tier divine battle! Even if it's just directing…

But after all, it's a great chance to show one's face before the whole world's people and boost prestige!

Unfortunately,

They can't blame anyone else; they can only blame themselves for not being there.

"Huh~"

She let out a long sigh,

Ka Luni and Xiao Ju'er almost simultaneously regained their former confident, solitary stances.

Compared to Xi Luona, they're not inferior either.

Moreover!

The two women's gazes flickered…

Xiao Ju'er recalled the scene of swallowing Ash,

while Ka Luni thought of nonstop diligent training for 24 hours,

Both women flashed a proud glance toward Xi Luona.

At the same time,

As the crowd chatted, they got to know each other more deeply.

Serena, a polite, poised neighborhood girl with the bearing of a refined lady, is characterized by a pink round hat, tea-colored hair, black clothes, a red dress, and black stockings.

Tierno, a female version of Ash, has a combative personality, her duckbill cap style mirrors Ash's, and she dislikes stockings, directly showing her fair, smooth beautiful legs.

Keerni, straightforward and energetic, a pure goofy goose, features golden hair, very fair skin, and an obsession with rollerblading, loving to show off.

Xiao Guang, a foolish beautiful girl who speaks her heart, likes to say "no problem, no problem" yet always has problems, with long blue hair and a knit hat.

Xiao Yao, a very friendly, optimistic, cute beautiful girl with rare gray hair, characterized by a slim waist, long arms, and a figure somewhat resembling Xiao Ju'er and Galar's Lurina.

Ming yi, a childlike giant rabbit, whose unusually developed body often attracts invasive gazes, making her a somewhat shy, demure double‑bun‑haired beautiful girl; she appears meek, but her figure is superb, and of course Xiao Guang and Xiao Yao, who know Ming yi well, understand that once in battle, she will fully display a different, domineering confidence.

Xiao Ju'er, a straightforward yet scheming witch, boasts a top‑model figure—her waist, arms, and beautiful legs are all superb, though her rabbit‑like proportions are a bit small.

Ka Luni, a noble‑bearing, graceful lady, relaxed and open, always shows warmth to those around her; her short black hair is tied up, paired with a white dress, mainly to distinguish herself from Xi Luona,

In the end, it's still an expression of insecurity; Ash actually prefers her in a black dress.

Xi Luona, noble‑bearing, always calm, willing to mentor juniors, loves sweets, sometimes appears indecisive, with long golden hair, a curvaceous S‑shaped figure, rounded legs, and flawless looks and character, distinguished by one eye hidden behind her golden hair.

Looking at the girls before him, Ash felt something was still missing.

"Ash!"

Suddenly, a bright voice rang in the ears.

Immediately after, everyone saw a beautiful orange‑haired girl sprinting toward them—it was Xiao Xia.

Behind the girl followed a mature woman who tightened everyone's hearts, Ash's mother Hanako,

as well as a suction‑cup doll pulling a suitcase, squinty‑eyed Xiao Gang, the hedgehog‑haired boy Xiao Mao, the silver‑haired Da Mu, and the guide Da Wu.

Thanks to Da Wu, Xiao Xia could give Ash an unexpected surprise.

But just as Xiao Xia was about to leap into Ash's arms, a cute little creature gave her a surprise.

A Poké Ball at Xiao Xia's waist suddenly opened on its own, and a yellow round cute figure instantly claimed Ash's embrace.

"Psyduck~"

Oblivious to its grave mistake, Psyduck, with a goofy look, stared at Ash who was holding its hands,

Their eyes met, and Psyduck tilted its head.

Xiao Xia: "..."

Psyduck, you bastard, don't cause trouble like this when it's such a bad time!

Angry Xiao Xia immediately raised her pink fist and smashed it hard onto Psyduck's head,

Bang! A sound rang out,

A red lump instantly rose on Psyduck's head.

At the same time, Xiao Xia grabbed Psyduck's short fluffy tail, yanked Ash out of its embrace, and flung it behind her,

almost hitting Xiao Mao's head,

"Pikapi~"

Psyduck left, and the yellow fluffy Electric Mouse Pikachu returned.

It enthusiastically leapt onto the long‑unseen Xiao Xia; Xiao Xia didn't get angry, smiling as she reached out to scratch Pikachu's chin.

"Long time no see, Pikachu~"

Psyduck:?

Just when Psyduck was doubting its life as a duck,

The girls' reactions also differed.

Da Wu had the restaurant manager arrange a large private room to give everyone a welcome feast and, at the same time, dispersed the crowd of onlookers who continued to gawk.

……

Inside the private room,

Xiao Xia actively approached Serena, and this also drew the gazes of Xiao Yao, Xiao Guang, Ming yi, Tierno, and Keerni.

"You must be Serena, right? No wonder you're the woman who made my confession fail from afar—you really are beautiful."

Xiao Xia enthusiastically stretched out her hand, greeted Serena, and introduced herself.

"My name is Xiao Xia. When I used to travel with Ash, I heard a lot about you, and now I finally have the honor to meet you."

Upon hearing this,

Ash, Xiao Yao, and Xiao Guang, who were familiar with Xiao Xia's wild girlfriend personality, almost spat out the tea in their mouths.

In the conversation, she voluntarily yielded the initiative in front of Serena,

Is this the violent girl Xiao Xia?

Serena understood that Xiao Xia was actively lowering her stance and showing friendliness in her words; the tension in her heart instantly eased, and she let out a sigh of relief.

It would be great if there were no conflict.

At the same time, she immediately enthusiastically grasped Xiao Xia's outstretched hand, also choosing to show friendliness.

"Hello, Xiao Xia, but calling me sister would be wrong—you're actually a bit older than me."

Upon saying this, it indicated that Serena had investigated Xiao Xia in advance, at least treating her as a major rival; thinking of this, Xiao Xia felt somewhat honored and happy, and her inner dissatisfaction with having voluntarily yielded completely vanished.

"Then I'll just call you Serena, gee, Serena, are you trying to say I'm old in a roundabout way?"

"How could that be?"

The two girls chatted happily together, setting an example for the other girls.

This also made Ash, Xiao Yao, Xiao Guang, Xiao Gang, Xiao Mao, and others all show expressions of having seen a ghost.

Is this really the outspoken, violent girl Xiao Xia?

As for Hanako, she wasn't surprised at all; instead, she felt greatly relieved.

When she sensed the nervous gazes of the several girls directed at her.

Hanako, who understood tacitly,

Her gaze swept over each exquisite beauty, her eyes growing brighter.

She secretly felt moved, her son had finally grown up, knowing how to flirt.

However,

When Hanako saw the possessive gazes of Kalunai and Xiao Juer, Hanako herself suddenly froze.

This is one of the two most famous women on this planet!

Has she actually been taken down already?

After reacting, Hanako's eyes shone even brighter as she walked up to Ash's side,

Not forgetting to reach out and ruffle Ash's head, she silently gave him a thumbs-up.
