Chapter 164 Weekend Shopping Spree
"Pigeon~ pigeon"
"Chirp~ Chirp"
……
As dawn breaks, the manor's bird spirits chirp joyfully with the rising sun.
This also heralds the arrival of a new day. The manor, which was originally sparsely populated and lacking in elves, has become vibrant with life after the arrival of the twelve earthly branches and the academy's free-range elves.
This truly proves the old saying from Xuan Mingtian's previous life: A large place to live needs enough people to avoid feeling so dull.
After yesterday's training, the pigeons have gradually mastered the skills of flying. After all, as avian spirits, the ability to fly is ingrained in their genes.
Therefore, at dawn, they were already flying around the manor with the three Murk brothers. And that's how their loud calls could be heard in the morning.
Fortunately, the soundproofing in the villa rooms was excellent; otherwise, Xuan Mingtian would definitely have given them a good scolding.
Xuan Mingtian, who was fast asleep and boasting to the Duke of Zhou, was completely unaware that Xiao Qingmei had brought Xiao Zhi to his side.
"Xiao Zhi, I'm going to put you on his face in a bit. Just grab at it as hard as you can, okay?"
On the other hand, Xiao Zhi, still half asleep, was completely unaware of this guy's wicked plan. But when he saw Xuan Mingtian on the bed, a glint of light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
"Ya ya"
At this moment, Xiao Zhi also called out softly twice, as if agreeing with Xiao Qingmei's suggestion.
The latter understood immediately and then gently placed him on Xuan Mingtian's chest.
In less than five seconds, Xiao Zhi's tiny body had climbed onto Xuan Mingtian's face. Then, a pair of small hands began frantically scratching and slapping at the latter's face.
Xuan Mingtian, who was in a dream, suddenly felt a stinging pain on his face.
"Lord Zhou, did you just slap me in the face?"
Unfortunately, the stinging pain on my face continued even after I had questioned Zhou Gong (the Duke of Zhou).
"You idiot, I've been busy drawing. I haven't had time to slap you. But since you've made this request, I'll reluctantly give you a slap."
He put down his brush and, with lightning speed, slapped Xuan Mingtian hard across the face with his right hand.
In an instant, the space shifted, and Xuan Mingtian, feeling dizzy, opened his eyes again. He immediately found a child in front of him, happily patting his cheeks.
Still not fully awake, a surge of anger welled up inside him.
Just as his body was about to strike the person in front of him, a crisp sound jolted him awake from his daze.
"Good morning, big brother. You're sleeping in again today. That's not good behavior for a child."
"Good morning, Qingmei. What are you doing here with Xiaozhi?"
Once Xuan Mingtian regained his senses, he rubbed his eyes and realized that it was Xiao Qingmei who had brought Xiao Zhi, which only fueled his anger.
"It's already 9 o'clock, so I brought Xiaozhi over to wake you up."
"Okay, okay, I'll get up right away."
Faced with this adorable little girl, Xuan Mingtian felt a sense of helplessness. He could only blame himself for letting her get away with the first prank!
A moment later, Xuan Mingtian arrived at the dining table where everyone had already gathered.
As I passed Chen Qianqian's seat, I could vaguely hear the words "hatch quickly." But upon closer reflection, it became clear.
Because after making a deal with Professor Oak yesterday, Xuan Mingtian gave her the Moltres egg. After all, he had wanted to give her a Finch not long ago, but he had completely forgotten about it.
Fortunately, I traded a Flamebird egg yesterday, so this is just right, isn't it?
Therefore, since yesterday, Chen Qianqian has never left the Flamebird egg in her arms. If it weren't for Hanako's reminder, she would have almost taken a bath with the egg.
"Qianqian, you don't need to hold me while I eat breakfast, do you?"
Just then, an untimely voice rang out; it was Yang Bin speaking from beside her.
"Idiot, what do you know? This is a descendant of a legendary elf, and it's the perfect elf for me. How can I not cherish it? Don't you even look at yourself? You're always holding Eevee and then criticizing me."
Chen Qianqian's words left Yang Bin speechless. However, what she said was true; aside from going to school and taking a bath, he took Eevee with him all the time in the small courtyard.
"Alright, after breakfast, let's go to the city for a big shopping trip."
"Xiao Tian, weren't we supposed to be training our Pokémon today? Why did we suddenly go shopping?"
After thinking for a moment about Xiao Gang's question, Xuan Mingtian finally came up with an answer.
"Xiaogang, you don't understand. School requires a balance between work and rest to have breaks between classes and weekends off, and training your Pokémon also needs a balance between work and rest."
This statement immediately drew bursts of laughter from the crowd. No one expected Xuan Mingtian to say something like this just to shirk his duties. It was truly bizarre and speechless.
After this brief exchange, Xuan Mingtian ignored them and sat down next to Hanako, praising her outfit all the while.
Time passed slowly, and everyone, led by Xuan Mingtian, gathered at a department store.
"Dehua, you take the elves to pick out their favorite items, and then we'll meet at the checkout. Let's go, Xiaogang, now it's our turn to shop to our hearts' content."
At Xuan Mingtian's command, the impatient elves pushed handcarts in groups to the various sales areas.
However, the mall staff and shoppers were unfazed, as the residents and shopping malls of Changqing City were already familiar with Xuan Mingtian, given the city's history.
People already knew that he liked to go shopping with hordes of elves, and that he would purchase quite a lot of goods. Therefore, every shop owner treated him like a god of wealth.
Therefore, shortly after Xuan Mingtian appeared, the mall owner also came after hearing the news.
"Young Master Xuan, welcome. Please feel free to ask if you need any help."
"Hello boss, you can just send someone to take good care of my elf. Do you have any other new products from other companies in your mall?"
"Haha, Young Master Xuan, you've come at just the right time. Our mall has just received a new batch of Poké Balls and items, namely Luxury Balls, Heal Balls, and Friend Balls. The items are Mystic Water and Power Amplifiers."
The mall owner was completely forthcoming with Xuan Mingtian's question, readily revealing the newly arrived items.
"Okay, please wrap up all of these things for me."
Seeing Xuan Mingtian's listless reply, the boss knew these things wouldn't satisfy him. Left with no other choice, he had to take a gamble.
“Young Master Xuan, if you are not satisfied, I have an elf fossil here. After testing, it was found to be a crustacean fossil. Why don’t you come with me to take a look?”
Upon hearing that it was an elf fossil, a glint of light flashed in Xuan Mingtian's eyes. This scene was also witnessed by the mall owner.
"Okay, then take me to see it."
