Elf: How do you cultivate immortality in the elf world?

Chapter 368 Ike Returns.

"Damn little brat!" Long Ying gritted her teeth and glared at Bao Bao.

Long Ying didn't continue to cause trouble, after all, she couldn't afford to offend this girl.

Yes! They're the kind of people you can't mess with.

She only realized yesterday just how outrageous this seemingly crazy little girl was.

Birds of a feather flock together.

This statement is perfectly embodied in Lu Li.

Long Ying initially thought the other party was just a maidservant, but later discovered that this girl was the real cheater.

The most outrageous thing is that this human possesses champion-level superpowers and is only 12 years old this year!
Such a monstrous existence has never appeared in the entire history of humankind.

It was precisely because of this that Long Ying's pride was somewhat diminished after joining this family.

There was no way around it; Long Ying considered herself a genius, but compared to Bao Bao, the two were simply not in the same league.

Currently, there are only two people in this family who are worse off than her.

One of them, Yao Yifei, took the wrong path, but others had already gotten there first.

There's also that girl named Wei, but she has a stunningly beautiful younger sister.

Talent? She couldn't compete with them. If it weren't for her superior background, she would have been driven to depression.

"You have such great talent, why don't you work harder?" Long Ying asked helplessly.

She meant it sincerely.

“Neither my brother nor my sister wants me to work hard,” Bao Bao said dejectedly.

Others might be eager to become stronger, but for her, it's a struggle to suppress the speed at which she becomes stronger.

That's why Bao Bao plays video games every day to release the energy in his heart.

Upon hearing this, Long Ying seemed to be deep in thought.

She assumed Lu Li had already made arrangements for Bao Bao, and Long Ying, who was looking forward to going for a walk, asked, "Um... Lu Li isn't here right now, do you know which places in the house I can't go to?"

"You can't go into the basement or the herb garden at the back, but you can go anywhere else," Bao Bao said without turning his head.

Long Ying nodded, and then went for a stroll in the backyard.

"Huh? That's..."

Long Ying suddenly noticed the nuts and bolts playing around there.

"This seems to be... the juvenile divine beast from the intelligence report?" Long Ying murmured in surprise.

She hadn't expected the mythical beast cubs to be so unrespected here; she had originally thought that these mythical beast cubs should be under strict guard.

As a result, these mythical beast cubs were completely ignored?

"Isn't Lu Li worried that someone might steal the baby divine beast?" Long Ying wondered.

According to the Dragon family's intelligence, there are quite a few people interested in these mythical beast cubs, but they are all wary of Lu Li's identity as a divine trainer and dare not make a move.

This doesn't mean those people gave up. Since they couldn't openly rob, they could only steal secretly.

Long Ying felt it was necessary to talk to Lu Li about this matter. Could we just let such an important elf roam freely?
Just as Long Ying was about to approach those little guys, the calm water surface suddenly churned, and a stunningly beautiful Milotic emerged from the lake.

Milotic tilted its head and looked at Long Ying. It recognized Long Ying, but it didn't expect her to come so quickly.

"Another trainer's partner?" Milotic thought to itself with displeasure.

These days, it's one thing to compete with your fellow trainers for your trainer's affection, but to compete with other trainers for it too? Unbelievable!

Long Ying also secretly sized up the Milotic in front of her.

God of beauty!

A word suddenly popped into Long Ying's mind.

So Milotic's charm can transcend race and even gender! No wonder it's a Pokémon nurtured by Lu Li.

After interacting with the nuts and bolts for a while, Long Ying started wandering around the area again.

Long Ying, who stopped in front of the orchard, exclaimed in amazement, "I didn't expect there to be such a big orchard here?"

wrong!

Long Ying's expression suddenly changed, and then she took out her phone to take a look.

Outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!
Shouldn't the trees be shedding their leaves by now? What's going on? Why are these trees only just starting to flower?
Long Ying looked shocked.

The tropical dragon, who was tending to its orchard, also sensed the uninvited guest, Long Ying.

However, the tropical dragon ignored the other party and continued to tend to the fruit trees on its own.

"This shouldn't be considered a restricted area, right?" Long Ying recalled her conversation with Bao Bao.

After confirming that she was allowed to enter the orchard, Long Ying began to stroll around it.

At first, things were fine; the fruit trees on the outer edge of the orchard were just ordinary varieties. But as they got closer to the center, Long Ying's breathing became heavier and heavier.

"So many rare fruit trees, I don't remember the Lu family having a planter, right? Could it be!"

A bold idea flashed through Long Ying's mind.

Excluding her, there are only five people in the Lu family. Yao Yifei and Freya are both well-known figures, and their information has long been thoroughly investigated.

These two people couldn't possibly be that master grower.

Then only the two sisters, Bao Bao and Wei Na, were left.

The Long family has investigated their backgrounds. The sisters come from a criminal family in South America. The older sister is a Fighting-type trainer and could not possibly be a planter.

After all, these two people had once wandered the Kyushu region; if they had this skill, they wouldn't have had to wander.

So there's only one truth left!

Besides being a trainer, Lu Li has other side jobs, such as being a planter!

How can this be?

A 17-year-old master planter? That's absurd!
Lu Li's brilliant achievements in the fields of trainer and breeding at the age of 17 are already a rare talent, but what about the master-level planter?
Long Ying exclaimed from the bottom of her heart, "Just what kind of monster is my boyfriend?!"

Long Ying didn't even know how she left the orchard; she was completely numb when she came out.

Since she couldn't go anywhere else, Long Ying only looked around the surrounding area.

Then I got to know the Wildfire Gang.

The Long family's investigation into these orphans is still ongoing.

A group of ordinary orphans. The reason Lu Li has been raising these orphans is probably out of guilt.

Long Ying remembered that the leader of this group of orphans disappeared during the attack by the cult. Although it was said to have disappeared, it was obvious to everyone that he was dead, and not even a trace of him remained.

The idea of ​​a king returning is just a plot in movies.

How could there be so many twists and turns in reality?

"Na~"

A sharp cry came from deep within the Qingyun Mountains.

The shout interrupted Long Ying's thoughts and shattered the tranquility of Lu Family Village.

"That voice sounds like Vulturena?"

Long Ying looked solemnly towards the depths of the Qingyun Mountains.

She didn't bring her guardian spirit with her; to be precise, her guardian spirit isn't with her right now.

The main problem is inconvenience, since he's just staying here temporarily, not to investigate Lu Li's secrets.

Long Ying quickly got a clear look at the vulture, and only after confirming that it was only at the elite level did she breathe a sigh of relief.

"Just elite level." Long Ying thought to herself with relief.

If it's just an elite-level Pokémon, she wouldn't even need to lift a finger; she could handle it herself. Thinking this, Long Ying eagerly took out her Poké Ball.

"Don't do it!"

A popping sound suddenly came from beside her.

"That's not the enemy, it's one of our own." Bao Bao's eyes were filled with joy as he watched Bald Eagle Na get closer and closer.

With that terrifying superpower, she had already seen the face of the person behind Vulture Na.

Ekko is back!
Ekko is actually still alive!

She was heartbroken for days when she learned that Ike was missing.

After all, Ike was one of her few friends, and his sudden disappearance, even though Bao Bao wasn't very mature, she knew what Ike's disappearance meant.

Long Ying remained silent and showed no intention of making any further moves.

After all, Bao Bao knew the situation here better than she did, so she chose to trust Bao Bao.

Ike jumped off Vulturena's back, then patted her wings and said, "I'm home now. You can go back as agreed."

Bald Eagle nodded happily, then turned and left.

It was only because it was threatened by Ekko that it became Ekko's mount. Vulture Na doesn't like the real world; the energy concentration in the real world is too low.

Bao Bao said happily, "Ike! You're really back! I thought you were dead."

Ike wasn't angry, and he also joked self-deprecatingly, "I almost died."

"My brother said you were alright, that you just went to another world. Now it seems you really are alright, but I don't know..."

Bao Bao stared at Ike with her bright eyes.

Bao Bao is very curious whether Ike really went to another world.

"It's really nothing. Let's talk about it when we see the boss." After saying that, Ike glanced at Long Ying without making a sound.

"Is it another new landlady?" Ike muttered.

Long Ying listened quietly to their conversation, and as for the other worlds that Bao Bao mentioned, Long Ying didn't doubt anything.

"Hello, ma'am, my name is Ike." Ike took the initiative to greet her.

Upon hearing this, Long Ying narrowed her eyes, a hint of pleasure flashing in them.

This little black guy has some sense.

Upon hearing this address, Bao Bao, who was standing next to him, pouted unhappily.

However, Bao Bao did not correct Ike's way of addressing Long Ying, since what he said was true and it was only a matter of time.

Long Ying was very interested in the return of Ike, especially what he had experienced during his disappearance.

Ike asked, "Is the boss in seclusion?"

Bao Bao nodded.

Ike was used to this kind of thing; his boss was a real stickler for things, spending all his time in the basement doing research.

"I'm going to see my younger siblings first. Call me when the eldest comes out of seclusion." Ike couldn't wait to see his younger siblings whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Bao Bao nodded.

After Ike left, Long Ying suddenly said, "He's already a Gym Leader, and it looks like he's not far from becoming an Elite Four member. I'm really curious about what this little black guy has been through these past few days, that his strength has improved so rapidly."

"Isn't this normal procedure?" Bao Bao asked, puzzled.

Becoming a dojo-level dojo member in three months, isn't that normal?

Seeing that his older brother became a Gym Leader in less than three months, and his older sister is now a Champion Trainer, he knew he was even more advanced.

Long Ying: “…”

Invisible pretense is the most deadly.

Long Ying really wanted to crack open Bao Bao's brain to see how she managed to combine innocence with pretentiousness.

When a person's strength suddenly and inexplicably improves by leaps and bounds, under normal circumstances, there are generally only two possibilities.

The first type is the Spirit Treasure that the other party gives to the Spirit.

The second possibility is that they encountered a deity.

Even if the elf improves, its strength will only increase by one major level at most, while Ike's situation is clearly not the former.

In other words, Lu Li's subordinates also encountered a god?

How is this possible!

Gods aren't given out in bulk; if someone is lucky enough to encounter one in their lifetime, that's already an incredible stroke of luck.

Where do you find gods appearing in droves?
It can't be that encountering a deity is just luck, and that kind of luck is contagious, right?
…………

In the basement, Lu Li suddenly had a whim and closed the book.

Lu Li let out a soft breath, leaving three clones behind, and turned to leave the basement.

An inexplicable feeling told him it was time to emerge from seclusion.

As soon as Lu Li returned to the living room, he saw Bao Bao with a happy expression on his face.

Upon seeing Lu Li emerge, Bao Bao couldn't wait to share the good news: "Brother! Ike is back!"

"Ike's back? When?" Lu Li asked, somewhat surprised.

The divination indicated that Ike had left this world and gone to another world, and he was prepared that Ike would never return.

So Ekko came back so quickly?
“Sister Long Ying saw it just now too,” Bao Bao quickly explained.

Worried that Bao Bao might be unable to distinguish between foresight and reality, Lu Li looked at Long Ying with curiosity.

“What Bao Bao said is true, that little black guy is back.” Long Ying nodded.

"Little Blackie?" Lu Li was a little confused.

Long Ying explained, "It's Ike, the nickname I gave him."

Lu Li frowned slightly, then corrected him, "You should still call him Ike. Although he doesn't mind, it's still a bit insulting."

It's not surprising at all that Long Ying would give Ike such a nickname.

Since the dawn of humanity, the center of human civilization has always been the Kyushu region. As the inheritor of an ancient family, Long Ying discriminates against almost everyone outside the Kyushu region.

Moreover, Ike's background wasn't very good to begin with, so it's normal for Long Ying to look down on him.

Does a descendant of a Kunlun slave expect me to respect him?
Long Ying thought to herself with disdain.

Despite her thoughts, Long Ying earnestly admitted her mistake: "I understand. After all, he is your subordinate, and I shouldn't have insulted him."

Lu Li waved his hand to indicate that he didn't take the matter to heart; he was just reminding him.

Aside from being a bit dark-skinned, Ekko really doesn't have any bad points, and just like Long Ying said, Ekko is his subordinate.

"Baobao, could you please go and call Ike over? I have something I want to ask him," Lu Li said to Baobao.

Boom nodded, then disappeared using teleportation.

“The Ike people are good people, and they don’t have the right to choose their birth. In my opinion, character is more important than race,” Lu Li added.

Long Ying nodded.

That's how her family taught her, but she hadn't listened to them before. However, she was happy to listen to Lu Li.

A short while later, Bao Bao and Ike arrived in the living room.

Lu Li noticed that after not seeing him for a few days, Ike's skin had turned a darker bronze color and he looked more weathered.

It doesn't feel like only two months have passed; it feels like two years have gone by.

“You look a lot more mature.” Lu Li patted Ike’s arm.
