Chapter 667 Xerneas's Pot of Life
Li Shuwen stepped forward and encouraged A Liu.
"You and your Pokémon played very well. I look forward to your performance at the Lily of the Valley Conference."
Ah Liu nodded earnestly, "Please rest assured, Mr. Shuwen, I will do my utmost to win the championship!"
Li Shuwen nodded. "Be careful later, and run when you see an opportunity."
A-Liu blinked in confusion, not understanding why Li Shuwen would say that.
But she still answered, "I understand."
The trainers participating in the battle tournament naturally dared not stop Li Shuwen from challenging them.
But they not only have the courage to stop A-Liu from fighting, they have a great deal of courage!
Back at the Veiled Dojo, Li Shuwen told Li Fei some bad news.
"Xiaofei, I'm heading to Lumiose City in the Kalos region in a week to attend the Pokémon Exchange. I'm leaving the Veilgate Gym entirely in your hands."
"Any Pokémon you want? I can catch two for you on my way."
Li Fei shook his head, "No need, I'll fly to the Carlos region myself to subdue them later."
Li Shuwen absconded, leaving him with the position of head of the Curtain Dojo.
Li Fei also planned to follow suit and try to pass on the position of head of the academy as soon as possible.
Li Fei thought Akai was fine; he spent a year consolidating his position as the gym leader before going out to challenge the Four Heavenly Kings.
Akai's strength should be just right to take over as the gym leader.
After Ah Kai has settled down for a year or two, he can pass the position of museum owner to Xiao Ning.
The most suitable training ground for Akai should be the Path of Champions.
The trainers there are all talented and have pleasant manners.
Each of them possesses unique skills and special abilities, making them the perfect group for Akai to exchange ideas with.
Li Fei couldn't help but think to himself, "You go to the Kalos region to enjoy the scenery and have beautiful women by your side, while I can only train Pokémon here."
"And I have to take care of your disciple too? Is there no justice in this world?"
Li Shuwen smiled slightly and reached out to press down on Li Fei's shoulder.
"Xiaofei, do you have a problem with that?"
Li Fei quickly shook his head, "No, absolutely not!"
Li Shuwen asked calmly, "Why do I feel like you're thinking about me in your mind?"
Li Fei looked at Li Shuwen seriously, "In the entire Curtain City, who doesn't know that I, Li Fei, am the most loyal henchman of the Midas Touch!"
Li Shuwen patted him on the shoulder, "That's good, the rest is up to you."
In the last week, Li Shuwen thoroughly trained Li Fei and his three disciples, helping them successfully trigger their cheat abilities more than once.
Aside from Akai, who remained enthusiastic, Li Fei, whose strength had reached the level of a near-Heavenly King, looked completely drained every day, having lost all his vitality.
Li Shuwen, carrying his packed suitcase, smiled at Li Fei, whose face was ashen, and said:
"I've already prepared breakfast. You can eat it after you've washed up. I need to take a car to Zhuqing City to catch my flight, so I'll be leaving now."
Upon learning that Li Shuwen was leaving today, Xinyue and Ajin visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
Then they all turned to look at Tanjiro, Nezuko, and the other three new junior brothers and sisters.
"Don't worry, even after Master leaves, your senior sisters and brothers will still take care of you."
Tanjiro froze, smelling a bloody, pungent odor.
This seems to be a tradition of the Veil Dojo, just like the legacy of the Jeep.
Of course, they were helping their junior brothers and sisters trigger the fourth law of the Midas Touch.
It's definitely not because they suffered, but because they naturally want their junior brothers and sisters to experience it too.
On the other side, Ah Liu, who is bad at saying no, finally found a chance to escape into the forest.
Seven days!
Do you know how he spent those seven days?
Every day is nothing but fighting!
Ah Liu leaned against a big tree and finally understood why Li Shuwen had said those words to him.
On the other side, the arrival hall of Zhuqing City Airport was bustling with people.
Li Shuwen immediately noticed the dazzling long golden hair.
Cynthia was standing at the arrival gate, waving to him with a slight smile.
He strode forward, and the two embraced tightly, as if trying to melt all the longing of the past few days into that hug.
After a long while, the two separated and went to buy two ice creams.
"I'm exhausted..." Cynthia naturally took Li Shuwen's arm, leaning half her weight on him, and complained softly, "The Champion Tour inspections have been going on for half a month straight, and the documents are piled up like a mountain. I can barely squeeze out time to train with Garchomp."
Li Shuwen gently stroked her smooth, long hair, feeling the familiar soft touch on his fingertips.
"You've worked hard," he said, his voice full of tenderness. "Just treat this as a pure vacation. Leave everything about the Pokémon Exchange to me. You just relax and enjoy the sunshine and art of Kalos."
Upon arrival in Miare, Carlos's alliance and the mayor's secretary were already waiting at the airport.
On the private car to the hotel, the secretary enthusiastically took on the role of tour guide.
"Since you two have come from afar, you must experience the charm of Miare."
The secretary adjusted her glasses, smiling broadly. "If you're looking for romance, the observation deck at the top of Prism Tower offers a spectacular view at dusk, as the entire city gradually lights up, like stars falling to earth."
"If you prefer a quieter place, the Miare Museum is currently hosting a seven-day special exhibition, 'The Myth and Art of Carlos,' which features some truly remarkable exhibits."
He added, "By the way, it's said that the highlight of this special exhibition is three rare items inspired by legendary Pokémon."
"The Jar of Xerneas, symbolizing life; the Feather of Yveltal, symbolizing the end; and the Emblem of Zygard, symbolizing order."
"Especially that 'Pot of Life,' according to folklore, drinking water from it will grant you extraordinary vitality... Of course, it's just a beautiful legend."
The secretary maintained a polite sense of humor, yet inadvertently piqued the listener's curiosity.
Cynthia loved mythology the most, and turned to look at Li Shuwen.
Li Shuwen smiled and nodded, "Then let's go to the art exhibition tomorrow."
Cynthia smiled and said, "Whatever you say."
The secretary nodded. "No problem, I will arrange a driver for you two in advance."
The next morning, after having breakfast at the hotel, the two went to the Miare Art Museum hand in hand.
The special exhibition hall was softly lit, and the audience was quiet.
Just as they stood before the ancient pot, carved with intricate patterns of life, listening to the guide recount ancient myths—
The lights suddenly went out!
The exhibition hall was plunged into darkness and a brief moment of panic.
Almost simultaneously, Li Shuwen unleashed his waveguide power—not with his eyes, but through the perception of energy—and "saw" a nimble, cat-like figure flitting across the display stand, the genuine and the counterfeit alternating in an instant.
When the light returned, no one but him noticed the subtle difference.
Li Shuwen said in a low voice, "Someone deliberately caused a power outage and swapped the Pot of Life in front of us."
"Interesting." A sharp, intrigued glint flashed in Cynthia's eyes. "They only took the 'Pot of Life'? Looks like the thief knows his stuff. Shall we go 'have a chat'?"
Li Shuwen smiled and nodded, "No problem."
