Chapter 151 Another World-Famous Painting: Golden Retrievers Have Always Become Losers

After a unique exhibition match, the Dragon Attribute Master Tournament officially kicked off.

Since Zhulan had no scheduled competitions on the first day, Qingyu and Zhulan decided to leave the venue temporarily and hand over the stage to the other contestants.

After leaving the Masters Tournament venue, Qingyu looked at Zhulan and asked:

"How about we go shopping in the nearby commercial street? There are plenty of delicious foods in Zhuotai City."

As the most bustling city in Padiya, it offers not only a wide variety of shops but also a diverse array of snacks and delicacies from all over the world.

Although you can basically only eat various sandwiches in the game, the prototype of Padia is, after all, the Iberian Peninsula, where the local food culture has been developed for thousands of years and is very distinctive.

It's better than Galar eating curry every day...

Moreover, as the host, Qingyu can't possibly feed the guests sandwiches and pre-made meals every day, can he?

If all else fails, Jin Hui Town isn't too far, and going to Padiya's most famous restaurant, Bao Canteen, is also a good option. Anyway, with Milerton, it's convenient to go anywhere.

It just means we might need to order enough food for several people when we eat out...

"Anything is fine, but ice cream would be even better."

Zhu Lan smiled faintly.

Even though Christmas is approaching, eating ice cream still feels a bit inappropriate.

However, people's physical conditions cannot be generalized.

For humans in the Pokémon world, it doesn't seem to be a problem.

“Okay, then we…”

Qingyu nodded and was about to turn around and lead the way when he suddenly froze in place.

A gorgeously dressed blonde loli suddenly appeared not far away, staring intently at him with murderous eyes that seemed to materialize.

"Cattleya?"

Qingyu blurted out, and his voice also caught Zhulan's attention.

Following Qingyu's gaze, Zhulan quickly noticed Jiadeliya, who was not far from them and had a resentful look in her eyes.

Zhu Lan was equally surprised by her appearance.

Because Shi Lan had informed her last time that the young lady of the Battle Castle would be in seclusion for a period of time until she had completely mastered the control of her superpowers.

So she hasn't been to the Battle Castle for a while.

If it weren't for this exhibition match, I probably wouldn't have bothered Gadria.

It seems she has already overcome the effects of her uncontrolled superpowers?

Thinking of this, Zhu Lan couldn't help but smile and wave to Cattleya in the distance.

"Cattleya, over here!"

While she was incessantly cursing Qingyu in her heart, Gadria immediately reacted upon hearing Zhulan's voice. She instantly reverted to her usual noble and elegant demeanor and strolled over with graceful steps.

"Zhu Lan! Why didn't you tell me about participating in the Masters Tournament sooner!"

"And the Four Heavenly Kings' assessment is also included!"

As she approached, Cattleya immediately let out a soft, reproachful snort, while pouting in dissatisfaction.

But given her physique, making this gesture actually looks more like she's being coquettish.

Quite cute.

"Didn't you tell Mr. Shi Lan, the butler, to inform me that no one should disturb your training of superpowers recently?"

Zhu Lan smiled slightly and, as she spoke, reached out and gently patted Cattleya's head as if stroking her fur.

This action quickly made Cattleya's temper disappear without a trace, and even a slightly strange pink appeared on her face.

Why does Cynthia's technique seem so skilled? It's just like how I usually pet Eevee...

Qingyu, who was quietly trying to make herself less noticeable, couldn't help but grumble inwardly.

Upon sensing his gaze, Cattleya quickly reacted, blushing and taking a step back to avoid Zhulan's hand. At the same time, she turned her sharp gaze to Qingyu.

"You bastard, give my Patchlitz back right now!"

If she had known that her Pokémon would be used by this guy, she definitely wouldn't have agreed to Cynthia's request...

That's not necessarily true.

In short, it must have been this bastard's idea!
"Ah? Oh..."

Qingyu was stunned for a moment, not expecting that Gadriya would be so direct.

He didn't even immediately recall that the white demon in his hand was borrowed from Cattleya...

However, as an upright young man who speaks objectively and without any prejudice,

Although he and Cattleya had never gotten along, Qingyu quickly took a Poké Ball out of his pocket and gave her a friendly smile:
"As expected of the owner of the Battle Castle, Cattleya, your Pokémon are really useful."

"thank you!"

"you!"

This guy is definitely mocking me, isn't he?

Cattleya instantly put on a cat-like face and used her telekinesis to snatch the Poké Ball from Qingyu's hand.

Damn it, this Patch Liz isn't clean anymore now that Qingyu touched it!
Although the highlight of the exhibition match was truly amazing, even Cattleya subconsciously applauded it.

But why is it that even though it's my Pokémon, the main character next to Cynthia isn't me?
The more I think about it, the angrier I get!

"Fine, I'll just pretend I don't know anything about it..."

Gadria sighed, her gaze turning complicated as she looked at the Poké Ball floating in the air.

Let's just say it went out for some exercise...

Witnessing the "harmonious" way the two got along, Zhu Lan smiled gently.

Their relationship is indeed better than I imagined, isn't it?

Even though we hadn't seen each other for several years, there was no awkwardness at all when we met for the first time. We were still bickering and arguing as before.

Isn’t that good?

"Oh, right, Bamboo Orchid."

After shifting her gaze away from that annoying person, Gadriya quickly looked back at Zhulan, her eyes full of anticipation.

"This Masters tournament will last a week, right? I remember you don't like staying in hotels. Actually, I have a villa in Tabletop City, how about..."

Qingyu raised an eyebrow.

Goodness, I almost forgot that this woman is also incredibly wealthy, owning numerous mansions all over the world, some of which she might not even live in once every few years…

However, isn't what you said a bit ambiguous?

"No need."

Zhu Lan smiled faintly and declined Jia Deliya's suggestion.

"Because Qingyu's Sunny Gym is located in nearby Key Town, I'll be staying at his place for the time being."

As she spoke, her gaze inadvertently drifted towards Qingyu, her amber eyes quickly narrowing into slits.

???

Upon hearing Zhu Lan's explanation, Gadriya was instantly struck dumb, her eyes vacant as she stood there blankly.

cohabitation?

Did I hear wrongly?
It must have been five years since she and Qingyu last met, right?

Could it be that during the short month I was in seclusion, I had already fallen behind the game, and the relationship between the two of them had evolved?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Zhu Lan is definitely not a casual person!
Countless question marks appeared in Gadria's mind, making her expression quite amusing.

Gazing at her complex expression, four words inexplicably popped into Qingyu's mind:
Golden Retriever, a loser!
