Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 199 That year, it was the season when wisteria flowers were in full bloom. (Seeking monthly votes!)
“Gengar, you’re a ghost too,” Jinghe said helplessly.

"Gen, genga!"

Gengar looked enlightened.

Yes, I'm a ghost too!

It used to scare Jinghe with nightmares full of ghosts, but after living with Jinghe for so long, it almost forgot that it was also a ghost.

"Chirp?"

The blacksmith looked at Gengar with some surprise.

So Gengar is a ghost too.

Jing He: "."

He shook his head.

To be honest, neither he nor the other little guys really treated Gengar as a partner or family member; they didn't really see it as a ghost.

Besides, normal ghosts don't have that much appetite.

Having shaken off the trio, Jinghe walked toward the coffee shop.

But they hadn't walked more than a few steps.

He suddenly seemed to sense something, and an invisible waveguide force pulsed slightly.

The café, which was originally bathed in the red glow of the setting sun, has been transformed into an ancient mansion in the mountains, with vibrant wisteria blossoms filling the pavilion in front of the door.

The entire mansion seemed somewhat eerie and intimidating, with wisps of cold air rising from the ground.

Da da da--

Suddenly, from afar came the sound of wooden clogs hitting the wooden floor.

Immediately afterwards, a girl wearing a kimono with wisteria patterns and her long, black hair styled in a bun ran out of the mansion with an innocent smile on her face.

As the girl ran to the gate of the mansion, a mischievous dream monster suddenly jumped out of the shadows, startling her.

Seeing the girl fall to the ground, her eyes brimming with tears, the bead around the Dream Demon's neck glowed red, and it laughed triumphantly.

however.

Before it could laugh for long, the girl on the ground saw it and also stopped crying and smiled, just like it.

This left the little dream demon stunned; it was the first time it had ever encountered such a situation.

Time has passed and the sun and moon have changed; the wisteria outside the house has bloomed countless times.

The once innocent girl now has white hair, and the mischievous dream demon has become a dream monster.

"Go find someone who is good to you."

The aging girl sat under the wisteria trellis and spoke so weakly to the dream demon.

however.

It stood guard over the girl's grave, year after year, exposed to wind and sun, until even the wisteria flowers withered due to neglect.

The dreamlike scene faded away.

Jinghe then saw a Pokémon with a deep purple head and a magic hat appear at the entrance of the cafe.

His crimson eyes held a profound sense of history, the three red gems on his chest had lost their luster, and his face wore an apologetic smile, making him appear very polite and well-mannered.

Dream Demon!
"Ooh?"

Upon seeing the sudden appearance of Mismagius, Gengar and Vulpix did not make any move.

Because they didn't sense any hostility from the dream monster.

The dream demon smiled faintly at them.

"Woo~~"

Its voice is very pleasant, with a touch of etherealness and a hint of weakness.

It is said.

The voice of the dream demon is like a curse, capable of casting spells and creating terrifying illusions, but it also contains the power to occasionally bring happiness.

"Who are you?" Jing He asked slowly.

He also didn't sense any hostility from the dream monster.

Upon hearing this, the ruby ​​on the demon's chest flashed slightly, and with a "clattering" sound, a poster appeared in front of it.

poster?

Jinghe paused for a moment when she saw the poster.

Because he has never made any posters to promote his coffee shop.

But he soon noticed a handprint in the corner of the poster, and it was easy to tell from the size and shape of the handprint.
"Gengar?"

"Gen, genga!"

Oh no, we've been found out!
Gengar grinned and turned to run away, but Jinghe grabbed him by the spikes on his back and lifted him up, his short legs kicking back and forth in the air.

"Genga."

Gengar was quickly defeated, its ears drooping as it nodded to Jinghe.

It was posted by the old man.
Seeing Jing He turn her gaze back, the Dream Demon gestured to the handprint in the corner, a glimmer of light appearing in her eyes.

"It says that this place can help Pokémon in need."

The voice of the dream demon echoed in Jing He's heart.

No.

Can a single handprint convey so much information?

Jinghe looked at Gengar again.

He was greeted by a scarlet tongue.

Slurp~~
Jing He: "."

He took out a cherry fruit with a blank expression and took two bites.

The Gengar grinned wickedly to the side, giving Vulpix and the others a wink.

See? A little bit of sweet talk and everything's fine. Learn from this.

Isn't your way of acting cute a little too charming?
Jinghe rolled her eyes in annoyance.

But the dream demon opposite her looked at this scene with deep envy in its crimson eyes.

After a brief moment of thought, Jing He asked the Dream Demon, "Is there anything I can do to help?"

After saying that, he immediately added:
"To be clear, I am just a Pokémon psychologist, teacher, trainer, researcher, and coffee shop owner."

The dream demon blinked.

"I just want to see her again."

The dream demon's voice rang out again, "No matter what method you use."

A deep sense of hope welled up in its eyes.

Upon hearing this, Jing He remained silent.

That girl?
"May I?"

Jinghe took a deep breath.

If you can't fulfill the promise your own ghost made, that's one thing, but if you can, you have to help no matter what.

Moreover.

One of Jinghe's initial motivations for opening this café was to help Pokémon in need.

But before he could even get ready, Gengar started promoting it for him.

No wonder there were so many customers during those days when business should have been slow.

Upon seeing Jing He sigh, the Dream Demon's eyes dimmed.

However, this wasn't the first time it had been disappointed; it simply said:
"Sorry to bother you."

"No matter what method you use, right?" Jinghe suddenly asked.

Ok?
The dream demon was taken aback.

"come in."

Jinghe pushed open the door and walked into the cafe. Gengar and Vulpix waved at her. The trio, who were huddled together, stood outside the door looking at each other in bewilderment.

Ghosts don't seem so scary after all.

Inside the cafe.

"What...what do I need to do?"

The dream demon seemed somewhat uneasy, and there was also an uncontrollable worry in it.

Will we really be able to see each other again?
"Just lie down here." Jinghe pointed to the soft single sofa in the corner of the cafe.

Without any hesitation, the dream demon quickly landed on the sofa and lay down quietly.

"Then all you need to do is relax completely and do as I say."

Jing He sat down next to it, her voice gentle and soothing, like a spring breeze in March, which was very approachable and gradually made the dream demon relax.

"Vulpix."

"Ooh~~"

Little Six-Tail jumped onto Jinghe's lap.

"It seems like it's been a long time since I've returned to my old profession," Jing He thought to herself, while softly saying aloud:
That year, it was the season when the wisteria flowers were in full bloom.

Under Jinghe's and Ice Six-Tails' hypnosis, the dream demon, who was fully cooperating, gradually became immersed in the hypnosis.

Slowly.
Little by little, the scene was woven together and slowly unfolded before it.

The afternoon sun was warm, and the faint fragrance of wisteria blossoms filled the air.

"Dream Demon?"

suddenly.

The dream demon trembled, startled by the familiar voice and turned around abruptly.

Looking at the familiar girl in front of him, tears welled up in his eyes.

But the dream demon endured it with all its might.

Because the tears blurred his vision, he couldn't see the girl's face clearly.

Why are you crying?

The young girl smiled gently.

"Don't pay attention to what others say, just live your own life well."

She stepped forward and gently embraced the Dream Demon, then took out a handkerchief and softly wiped away the tears from the corners of the Dream Demon's eyes.

This scene brought back memories for the Dream Demon.

Back when it was just a Misdreavus, as a Ghost-type Pokémon, it was ostracized by the villagers and even suffered a lot of malicious comments.

Consequently, the girl who played with it also became a target of the attack.

It was indignant at the time, broke free from the girl's embrace, and that very night it took "revenge" on some people who made extreme remarks.

This led to the girl and the animal being completely ostracized by the villagers, who viewed them as an omen of bad luck.

It vividly remembers that once when the girl was sick, no one was willing to help her. Although the girl managed to overcome the illness, she was left with a chronic condition.

But this time.
The dream demon hugged the girl tightly, feeling her warmth and smelling her faint fragrance.

All I need is to be with you.

"OK OK."

The girl smiled and said, "Crying isn't pretty."

"Look what I prepared for you! Your favorite flower cakes!"

"Woo~~"

The dream demon sniffed and nodded vigorously.

How many years has it been since I've had a flower cake made by Saori herself?

纱织
This name that haunts its dreams.

"Is it tasty?"

Holding the Dream Demon, sitting under the wisteria trellis, Saori asked softly.

good to eat!

Flower cakes made from saffron are the most delicious things in the world!
A breeze blew.

Purple petals twirled and fell, and under the sunlight, the lush wisteria blossoms almost covered the trellis, presenting a hazy, dreamlike purple glow.

"The wisteria flowers are blooming so beautifully this year," Saori said with a smile.

"Woo~~"

The dream demon snuggled closer to Saori.

If only time could stop at this moment, the dream demon thought.

That year, it was the season when wisteria flowers were in full bloom.
Looking at the dream demon lying quietly on the sofa, tears streaming down its face.

"Genga." (It's emo.)

Gengar's head drooped.

The eyes of the Ice Vulpix were also glistening.

The skilled blacksmith and the mini dragon that appeared out of nowhere clung tightly to Jing He's body.

"Birth, aging, sickness, and death are the natural course of life," Jing He said with a smile.

More emo.

The little ones all drooped their heads.

"There's no need to think that far ahead. What we need to do now is live in the present!"

Jinghe, however, took it all in stride.

"Do what you want to do, strive for your dreams, and even if you don't succeed in the end, at least you fought for them, didn't you?"

"Ooh!"

"not to mention."

Jing He smiled and said, "With you all here, I might live to be a hundred years old."

Gengar was the first to recover, clenching his fist tightly.

"哓GA!"

Even if I become a ghost, I will not let you go!
Dark lines appeared on Jinghe's forehead.

How come the words sound different when they come out of your mouth?

but.

"There are indeed rumors that after a person dies, they might turn into a Ghost-type Pokémon."

"When the time comes, if you don't remember me, I'll come to find you one by one!"

Jinghe made a funny face and said jokingly.

But the little ones all had determined looks in their eyes.

If it were Jing He, they would never forget him in this life, or even in the next life and the life after that!

As the moon gradually rose, a dreamlike figure flew gently by, leaving behind star-like specks of light.
My citizenship is in grave danger.

[Two Realms] [High-Level Martial Arts] [Mythical Beast Stream]

The boundless starry universe, the mysterious end of the starry abyss.

Humanity opened the gates of hell with its own hands, ushering in a new era for martial arts.

A torrent of starships capable of destroying planets with a single shot; martial arts masters whose physical bodies traverse the universe; powerful star beasts that endlessly devour and evolve…

This is the most insane era, where martial arts are fiercely contested and evolution never stops.

Chu Mu, having transmigrated, looked at the two moons in the night sky, gripped a knife tightly in his hand, and vowed to become an unparalleled powerhouse, taking his destiny into his own hands.

But before that…

He first needed to solve the minor problem of turning into a star beast after taking a nap.
