Chapter 309 The past of Li Luochen’s magic pill

"Oh, it's Mingyi? I'm planning to go to Xiamen for a while, what's up?"

Li Luochen had already called his companions out, preparing to ride on their backs and ride away.

Mingyi's appearance made Li Luochen stop what he was doing and ask her a question.

"Going to Xiamen? When are you coming back? I'd love to visit you again."

Mingyi finally decided to take the initiative, but unexpectedly, she encountered Li Luochen when he went out. Suddenly, her nose felt itchy, as if something was about to grow.

hateful……

I finally took the initiative, Luo Chen, and you made me lose so completely!

"About a week, I came back right after the competition. Sorry, I really have serious business to attend to this time."

Li Luochen didn't expect Mingyi to suddenly come to visit him.

She was dragging a suitcase, so she probably wanted to stay for a while.

What a pity, otherwise I could have stayed with Mingyi.

"It's alright, Cattleya is still at home, you can go play with her."

Li Luochen patted Mingyi on the shoulder, then sat on the back of the Dragonite and rode away.

Ash and the others did the same, waving goodbye to Naruto.

"Luo Chenbao!"

Mingyi wanted to cry but had no tears, so she could only wave goodbye.

hateful!

Mingyi has lost again!

We'll definitely win next time!

On the way to Xiamen Island.

"Luo Chen, I've noticed that most of your friends seem to be girls. Why don't you hang out with the boys?"

Ash, sitting on Charizard's back, was quite curious.

In his view, boys should play with boys; that's what makes a man.

As a result, Li Luochen spent all his time surrounded by his younger sisters, which Xiaozhi found hard to understand.

What's so great about a younger sister?

He cries when he can't win a battle, and he hates being with his sister the most!

Ash initially liked his sister quite a bit, but after meeting that girl named Yuuto Seidai, Ash realized that beautiful sisters are all roses with thorns.

From this day forward, I will seal my heart and never love again.

"Ahem, actually I do have quite a few same-sex friends. However, due to geographical factors, it's a bit difficult for me to see them. But the opposite-sex friends you see, Xiaozhi, are all relatively close to me, which is why you think I have more opposite-sex friends."

Li Luochen offered a relatively reasonable explanation.

And it is indeed the truth.

"I see. So, did Sister Azure come to the Eastern Huang region specifically to see you?"

Xiao Zhi seemed to understand but not quite, and then changed the subject to his neighbor, the older sister, Bi Lan.

That's certainly true.

Li Luochen nodded.

Azure came at the request of Adu.

As for staying here permanently, that's up to Azure herself.

Li Luochen didn't expect Bilan to stay for so long, and to give it away so quickly.

Thinking back on his experiences with Bilan these past few days, Li Luochen felt a sense of nostalgia.

hmm~

Let's spend some more time together with Azure when we get back.

"Are you still thinking about other girls while holding a beauty in your arms? Chenbao, you're such a fickle person~♡"

Sitting in Li Luochen's lap, Rukia seemed to sense his change. She tilted her head back and couldn't help but whisper coquettishly, "Chenbao, you didn't call out someone else's name while we were fighting, did you?"

"How could that be?"

Li Luochen pinched Liuqia's little face, while his other hand rested on her right leg, which was encased in striped stockings. He leaned close to her ear and whispered, "I'm too busy taking care of you to call someone else by your name."

"Dust Treasure..."

Rukia blushed as red as a fruit-eating worm.

Thinking back to the scenes from the previous battles, I felt a sense of anticipation again.

However, Li Luochen was not so audacious as to go that far.

It was just a fleeting moment of pleasure.

Outsiders are still around, so we can't do anything weird.

"Chenbao is naughty, so wicked..."

Rukia had no choice but to accept it.

The journey was safe and sound, and we arrived in Xiamen Island in just two hours.

Inside the Xiamen Alliance branch, everyone had been waiting for a long time.

Several familiar faces, whom I had seen in competitions or reports, stepped forward first, clasped their hands in greeting, and said with a smile, "We have long heard of Master Luo Chen's remarkable talent at such a young age; today we are finally able to meet you in person!"

In an instant, praise arose everywhere. Some called him "the rising star of the Dragon Clan," while others lauded him as "the pillar of Fuzhou." Their words were enthusiastic and their demeanor respectful, as if they regarded him as a prominent figure in the region.

Li Luochen smiled and waved his hand, his expression humble yet exuding composure.

He responded to each of them in a proper manner, neither appearing distant nor overly enthusiastic, striking the perfect balance.

"Oh, isn't this the little brat? You've finally arrived? And with so many kids, do you think this place is a children's playground?"

Zhang Qiang, the branch manager of the Lujiang Alliance, walked over and stood in front of Li Luochen, looking him in the eye.

The atmosphere was getting heated, and Liu Song from the Min Drum Martial Arts Hall wanted to defuse the situation, but Zhang Qiang reached out and patted Li Luochen on the shoulder a few times: "You've grown up so much and you haven't come to Xiamen a few times."

"Hehe, it's just that I felt embarrassed to come to you, Uncle Zhang, since you're so busy as the head of the alliance branch."

Li Luochen felt a little embarrassed.

He and Zhang Qiang were actually quite familiar with each other.

As for why they are familiar...

This all started when I was in third grade, and I led a group of my parents' Pokémon into a secret realm, where we beat up the local chieftain of a small secret realm on Lulu Island until he offered up his treasure.

Even now, this matter remains a topic of conversation among Xiamen locals after meals.

At that time, Zhang Qiang was still a vice minister.

Li Luochen repeatedly escaped from his grasp, almost shattering his Dao heart.

A third-grade student, who is only nine or ten years old, was caught by the deputy minister of the Xiamen Alliance branch!

They even played tricks on him multiple times. Who wouldn't have their Dao heart shattered in that situation?

This battle made Li Luochen famous overnight.

The beginning of the magic pill...

If Li Luochen before the age of ten was a spiritual pearl.

After he turned ten, it was as if he had suddenly gained intelligence, and he started causing trouble everywhere.

In Fuzhou, and even throughout Fujian Province, wherever he is, his presence can be found in the secret realm…

However, Zhang Qiang heard that Li Luochen's fiancée came from the Sinnoh region. Judging from Li Luochen's temper, he is much better than before. Zhang Qiang guessed that his fiancée had done a good job of disciplining him.

"Why didn't my niece-in-law come along?"

Zhang Qiang asked.

Li Luochen glanced at Lillie.

Zhang Qiang also looked over.

then……

"?"

Zhang Qiang's gaze toward Li Luochen held a strange glint.

"Don't look at me like that. It was an arranged marriage by my father. It's really hard for a child to refuse an engagement made by their parents. Although she looks a bit young, Lillie is actually already an adult..."

"Yeah?"

"I... I'm practically an adult in the Alola region!"

Lillie nodded slightly, then hid behind Li Luochen, only peeking out her little head.
