Pokémon: The Journey Begins with a Cowherd

Chapter 243 "Iron Heart" Qingyuan!

"Qianxue! That's a beautiful name!"

Upon hearing Qianxue's words, Qingyuan praised her.

"Thank you, your name is also very nice!"

Upon hearing this, Qianxue thanked Qingyuan and then praised him in return.

"By the way, you've been traveling for so long, how many badges have you collected?"

After treating the geckos' injuries, Qingyuan lifted the pot lid to check if the porridge was ready.

As if remembering something, he asked Qianxue.

"For now, we only have the grey badge for Pewter City Gym and the blue badge for Cerulean City Gym!"

"I was originally planning to go back to Vermilion City to challenge the Vermilion City Gym!"

"I never expected that I would get lost in the forest for more than a month!"

"I wonder if I'll be able to collect all eight badges before the Quartz Conference starts!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Qianxue looked at him with a frustrated expression.

"Wow, you're quite capable!"

"Don't be discouraged, there are still seven months until the Quartz Conference opens!"

"Even if you only get one badge a month during this period, it will be enough!"

Seeing Qianxue's frustrated expression, Qingyuan smiled and encouraged her.

"I hope so!"

Upon hearing this, Qianxue was in low spirits. She simply looked at the glittering starry sky and said something with a heavy heart.

"Alright, stop thinking about those worries!"

"Here, I added some sugar water, it's not so hot anymore!"

Seeing Qianxue looking preoccupied, Qingyuan brought over a bowl of porridge that had gone cold and said something.

"Are you done?"

Upon hearing this, Qianxue immediately scrambled to her feet and looked at Qingyuan with anticipation.

She was so tempted by the aroma of the porridge that she cried.

By this time, Qingyuan had already told her that the porridge was ready, so how could she possibly stay calm?

"Drink slowly, no one's going to take it from you!"

"Although the porridge isn't too hot anymore, your stomach hasn't recovered its digestive function yet. Eating too fast isn't good for your health!"

Seeing Qianxue's eagerness, Qingyuan handed her the porridge and gave her some instructions.

"Okay, I understand!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Qianxue nodded frantically to show that she understood.

But after she took the porridge, she immediately dismissed Qingyuan's words as nonsense.

He grabbed the bowl and started drinking it down.

"You..."

Seeing this, Qingyuan looked speechless.

He knew this guy wouldn't be so obedient.

Fortunately, he had anticipated this situation, and there wasn't much porridge in Qianxue's bowl at all.

In just four or five seconds, Qingyuan had finished the entire small bowl of porridge that Qianxue had prepared for her.

"The food tastes delicious!"

"Please give me another bowl! Thank you!"

After licking every last grain of rice out of the bowl.

Qianxue sighed and then pushed the bowl towards Qingyuan.

"Wait a bit longer. You haven't eaten for so long, you can't eat so much all at once!"

"Wait a few more minutes, until the rice porridge in your stomach has been mostly digested, then I'll serve you another bowl!"

Upon hearing Qianxue's words, Qingyuan glanced at the time on the Pokédex and said to Qianxue.

"Ah~"

"But I'm so hungry right now, I feel like I could eat a whole Tauros!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Qianxue sighed deeply, rubbed her stomach, and said to Qingyuan.

"You'll eat a whole Tauros too, watch out or you'll choke to death!"

"The food is mine. I tell you when to eat it, and you eat it then!"

"Just you wait!"

Upon hearing Qianxue's words, Qingyuan glared at her and reprimanded her.

"Ah~"

"I'm so hungry!"

"Please, just give me one more small bowl, please!"

Hearing Qingyuan's words, Qianxue still didn't give up and started to act coquettishly towards Qingyuan.

She wanted to gain Qingyuan's sympathy and get him to give her another bowl of food.

"I said no, and that's final. If something happens to you, I have nowhere to rescue you in this desolate wilderness!"

When Qianxue asked for help, Qingyuan turned his head away and refused.

The first thing he learned after leaving the orphanage was to be ruthless.

If it weren't for his reading of Confucian classics and his naturally soft personality...

After leaving high school in his previous life, he might have been able to do very well in society.

Unfortunately, it was his soft-hearted nature and his reluctance to do good deeds, which led to his death shortly after leaving high school.

Fortunately, he was reborn in this world that was even better for him.

So for Qingyuan, who had already lost his life once, Qianxue's little act of coquetry was completely useless.

"Ah~"

Seeing that she had no luck no matter how much she begged, Qianxue gave up the idea of ​​asking again.

She just sat there, biting the bowl of porridge she had just drunk from, looking pitifully at Qingyuan.

Seeing Qianxue's pitiful appearance, Qingyuan immediately closed his eyes.

He knows his own personality well.

He's a soft-hearted person, and even though he's died once, he can't change that.

Otherwise, when he met Xiaoyu, he wouldn't have given up a day to send her back to the orphanage.

Therefore, in order to prevent himself from being too soft-hearted and causing problems with Qianxue's health.

He simply closed his eyes and refused to look at Qianxue.

As long as he doesn't look at Qianxue's appearance, he won't feel soft-hearted because of her pitiful look.

Therefore, they will not do anything impulsive.

Time just passed by minute by minute.

When the Pokédex alarm rang, Qingyuan opened his eyes.

Meanwhile, Qianxue remained kneeling in place, looking pitifully at Qingyuan.

"You are truly a heartless man!"

Looking at Qingyuan as he slowly opened his eyes, Qianxue said with a pitiful expression.

The way Qingyuan closed his eyes and refused to look at her just now made her feel extremely frustrated.

No matter what, her charm shouldn't be this low.

She remembered that when she was a child at summer camp, quite a few boys would try to chat her up because she was pretty.

Why did Qingyuan completely ignore her when she came to him?

Could it be that she's become ugly as she grows up?

That's so insulting!

"what happened?"

Qingyuan brought over another bowl of porridge and, seeing Qianxue's dejected expression, asked her with curiosity.

Hearing this, Qianxue looked up at him.

He then quickly snatched the porridge from Qingyuan's hand and buried his head in it, drinking it down.

There's no need to let that awful man ruin your mood.

Let's fill our stomachs first.

Mmm~ It tastes so good~ ︿(￣︶￣)︿

Looking at Qianxue's drastically changed attitude, Qingyuan was somewhat confused.

However, he knew that his mind was not meant for this purpose.

So after watching Qianxue drink the porridge, he turned around and went to prepare dinner for Shugiri and the others.

Qianxue herself had been hungry for four or five days, not to mention the geckos and the others.

He'd better prepare plenty of elf food for these three little guys, or there might not be enough to eat!
