Chapter 58: Imposing Restrictions on the Women and the Blushing Hanako
Chapter 58: Imposing Restrictions on the Women and the Blushing Hanako
Grandma Li not only felt the aura of this champion-level Pokémon, but now she dared not move an inch, because in front of her stood a strangely shaped, dark green Scyther staring at her.
Although Potian was a full meter away from Grandma Li, the cold light emanating from the blade's arm stung her skin like needles. At the same time, she believed that if she made even the slightest move against Xuan Mingtian, she would definitely be beheaded.
Five minutes passed, and thanks to the two elves' full-force output, the seed finally sprouted into a sapling 20 centimeters tall. It was time for Xuanmingtian to make his move.
"Little Tower, go and rest, let me take over." With Xuan Mingtian's command, Little Tower stopped outputting Grass-type energy.
After circling the sapling once, Xuan Mingtian stretched out his right hand and tightly grasped the tree trunk, which was as thick as a chopstick. He activated the energy within his body, and the Law of Green Wood rapidly circulated in his sea of consciousness, passing through the power condensed by the Law of Life without any hindrance and quickly merging into the sapling.
In an instant, the entire sapling emitted a faint green light. Nourished by the power of the Green Wood Law, the sapling grew rapidly, as if it had been given a golden fertilizer.
Xuan Mingtian stopped outputting energy once the sapling reached a height of 1.5 meters, not for any other reason than that he was exhausted. For safety's sake, he didn't forget to scan the sapling with the panel, and the result was: a strong Miracle Tree (sapling).
"Alright, everyone, come over here." Having finished his work, Xuan Mingtian immediately called over the elves and his beloved family and friends.
At Potian's prompting, Grandma Li turned around shakily, but what she saw next almost made her jaw drop. After all, a seed had grown into a 1.5-meter-tall sapling in less than half an hour. Who wouldn't be surprised? The four people who were equally surprised were Xiaolan, Hanako, Yuzuki, and Rika, who had just opened her eyes.
Xuan Mingtian said wearily, "Grandma Li, it's all taken care of. From now on, you need to have your Grass-type Pokémon nourish it with Grassy Terrain and Photosynthesis every day. It's best to nourish it with Grass-type resources from time to time, but that depends on your financial situation."
"Okay, Xiao Tian, thank you so much. I will personally bring you the payment tomorrow, so don't worry."
Grandma Li had already come to her senses while Xuan Mingtian was speaking; after all, she was a 60-year-old woman with considerable experience.
"Alright, let's head back now. Also, make sure to protect the saplings well; it would be best to have your strongest Pokémon protect them."
After Xuan Mingtian finished speaking, he turned and left. After all, there was something more important to announce after getting into the car. At the same time, he also took Xiao Zhi from Hanako's arms to make things easier for later.
After leaving Grandma Li's house, the group drove for another two minutes, but Xuan Mingtian had Jun Sha'en drive the car to a sparsely populated suburb.
After parking the vehicle, Xuan Mingtian led everyone to the base of a large tree and said in an extremely calm tone, "I believe you all witnessed this amazing scene in Grandma Li's botanical garden just now."
His calm tone, mixed with a solemn air, immediately made some people's hearts pound. Hanako, Chen Qianqian, Xiaolan, and Xiyue all thought that Xuan Mingtian would kill them to silence them, but none of the four dared to make a move. After all, he had a champion-level Pokémon in his hands, so who could escape? Hanako was even more worried because she was watching Xuan Mingtian tease Xiaozhi.
Hanako was so frightened by this scene that she cried out, "Xiaotian, I beg you, please don't hurt Xiaozhi. I'll grant you any request you have."
Upon hearing Hanako's words, Xuan Mingtian's face was filled with a lewd smile. Jun Sha'en, standing beside him, understood that he was trying to tease Hanako, but she did not speak up to dissuade Xuan Mingtian, since in the end all he would need to do was set up a restriction.
At the same time, Xiaolan, who was already in tears, said, "Xiaotian, please tell Grandma that I will miss her over there."
Xuan Mingtian completely ignored what Zhu Lan said and instead walked slowly toward Hua Zi with a lewd smile.
"Aunt Hanako, are you sure you can ask for anything? You really care about Satoshi."
Xuan Mingtian's gaze swept over Hanako with an aggressive intensity. Hanako understood the meaning behind that gaze; as a beautiful woman, she had experienced similar looks while on vacation. But what she found most unexpected was that a child not even six years old would have such thoughts. (Many people would likely share this sentiment, perhaps even shouting, "Hanako is mine! Ash calls me Dad!")
The next moment, Hanako regained her firm gaze and said to Xuan Mingtian, "Yes, as long as you can let Xiaozhi go, I will agree to anything you want, including what you are thinking now."
"Alright, Xiaotian, stop playing around. Look, they've all misunderstood you." Seeing that things were getting more and more confusing, and not wanting Xuan Mingtian to continue playing around, Jun Sha'en could only speak up to persuade him.
After hearing what Jun Shaen said, Xuan Mingtian realized that he had had enough fun and that continuing might lead to trouble. He was also afraid that Xiao Lan would hold him accountable later, since one phone call from her could result in a severe beating for Xuan Mingtian.
After withdrawing his lewd and aggressive gaze, Xuan Mingtian said with a serious expression, "Alright, I've had enough fun. Next, I'll have Little Cutie place a restriction in your minds. You can't say anything about my abilities or Little Cutie anymore. Nod if you agree."
As soon as the words were spoken, the four people, who were in tears, immediately stopped crying and looked at each other.
After a short while, seeing the four nod, Xuan Mingtian said, "Little cutie, it's time to go to work. Show your true form and let them see your adorable appearance."
The adorable little creature, resembling a wind chime, rolled its eyes at Xuan Mingtian after hearing this. Then, it emitted a faint light and returned to its original form in less than a second, floating onto their heads.
At this moment, its hands and eyes emitted a faint pale blue light. Fifteen minutes later, the little cutie finished its work and was now waiting to go home and collect its wages.
"Alright, you're all on the same side now, so stop spacing out. Little Cutie is a legendary Pokémon from the Kanto region, so you'll have plenty of time to stare at her. Let's go home and get some sleep," Xuan Mingtian said, reverting to his usual nonchalant attitude.
Back in the car, Zhu Lan was the first to speak up: "Xiao Tian, do Sister En and Xiao Gang already know? Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
Xuan Mingtian said earnestly, "Xiao Lan, I owe my own problems to Xiao Ai Ke. Otherwise, I would never have told anyone except my parents. Besides, I met Xiao Ai Ke when I went to the academy, so I haven't had time to tell you."
Indeed, if it weren't for the help of the little cutie's restriction, Xuan Mingtian wouldn't have uttered a single word even if he were beaten to death.
Feeling deceived, Zhu Lan continued fiercely, "I will definitely tell Auntie about this, and I will also tell you about the way you looked at Aunt Hanako. You'll be in for a beating."
Hua Zi, standing next to Xuan Mingtian, stared at him with her face flushed red, but no one knew whether she was red with anger or shyness.
"Just say whatever you want, I'm not afraid at all. My mother knows the importance of placing the restriction, she won't object to me. Besides, our family is destined to become an immortal family in the future," Xuan Mingtian said in a flippant tone.
Xuan Mingtian ignored the sulking Xiao Lan and turned to Hanako, whose face was flushed, and said, "Aunt Hanako, what I said before was just a joke, please don't take it seriously."
"I'm fine, but if the same thing happens again, please just say so. I'm not afraid of people misunderstanding you, but I'm afraid of people misunderstanding me," Hanako replied speechlessly.
But Xuan Mingtian had no idea how much misunderstanding his actions towards Hanako would cause in the future, and how Mortal Kombat almost happened.
At this moment, Yang Bin, who was in another car, said to Xiao Gang, "Brother Gang, do you think Brother Tian really likes Aunt Hua Zi? The first time he showed that expression when Aunt Hua Zi was trying on clothes, and the second time was just now when he was flirting with Aunt Hua Zi."
After some thought, Xiao Gang nodded and said, "What you said is possible, but Aunt Hua Zi has a husband. Although Uncle Ya is very unreliable and also very irresponsible towards his family, they are still husband and wife in name, and they even have a child together."
As she drove, Xiyue, who had recovered, said, "Xiaogang and Xiaobin, if what you said is true, then I'm sure Xiaotian really likes Hanako, otherwise he would never have teased her like that."
After hearing Xiyue's words, the two of them fell into deep thought. Even if it was okay for Sister En to be more than ten years older than Xuan Mingtian, then it would be okay for Hanako to bring Xiaozhi along.
Xiao Gang whispered in Yang Bin's ear, "Binzi, it's no problem that Sister En is more than ten years older than Xiao Tian. I think Sister Xiyue is right too. What do you think about taking Aunt Huazi away for Xiao Tian?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Bin's eyes lit up. It was an excellent idea. He nodded in agreement to Xiao Gang. From that moment on, an invisible conspiracy was rapidly unfolding.
Meanwhile, Xuan Mingtian, in the car ahead, was completely unaware that a conspiracy was slowly approaching him, but he would later say that such a conspiracy was quite appealing.
After about fifteen minutes, everyone finally returned to the villa, while those who stayed at home were either watching TV or discussing the various properties of the mantis.
At this moment, Mustard Orchid noticed that everyone had returned and said, "Oh, you're back. Did you have fun today? Hey, Brock, isn't that a Ralts egg in your hand?"
Fortunately, Xuan Mingtian helped everyone regain their composure when they got out of the car, otherwise the two old foxes at home would have easily noticed something amiss.
"Oh, Grandma Mustard, this elf egg belongs to Xiaotian. The three of us exchanged it when we went to the arcade today," Xiaogang answered Mustard's question truthfully.
