Chapter 196 The Sweetness of Fairies and Insects

Angel's Eye of Observation revealed: "Favored by Bug and Fairy-type Pokémon, long-term consumption can rejuvenate them and slowly increase their Defense and Special Defense."

It is favored by Bug-type Pokémon!

Doesn't this solve the problem I'm facing right now?

He also likes Fairy-type Pokémon; he has quite a few Fairy-type Pokémon, including Diancie, Magearna, Xerneas, Pinkie Pie, Gardevoir, Ralts, the Azumarill family, and Flareon—quite a lot.

It can also increase the defense and special defense of Fairy-type and Bug-type Pokémon.

The Ange family also has quite a few Bug-type Pokémon, such as Vivavo, Paras, and Shuckle. There aren't many different types, but there are quite a few of them.

Once I get my hands on the sweet treat, I'll go home and make a lot more, and see if I can make some premium food.

With that thought in mind, Anjie carried the honey pomelo tea she had made and a pot of warm water out of the kitchen.

When Ms. Hadari saw Anjie come out, she asked, "Is it ready?"

Anjie smiled and nodded, "If it's done well, the three bees will definitely like it."

Hadari said, "You're quite confident."

Anjie chuckled.

"Come with me." With that, Ms. Hadari stood up and led Angel in one direction.

Anja was led to the backyard of Ms. Hadari's house, where there were more flowers blooming than in the front yard, and some vegetables and fruit trees were also planted.

The garden is being cared for by a poisonous rose.

Seeing Ms. Hadari bring Angie in, Poison Rose smiled and waved to greet the two of them.

In the corner of the backyard stood a beehive, which was where the three honeybees lived.

Ms. Hadari led Angie to the front of the beehive and then gently called to the three bees.

"Hey, you three bees, how's your day going?"

Upon hearing Ms. Hadali's voice, several three-necked bees listlessly flew out of the hive.

Ms. Hadali kept only about ten bees.

Then, Ms. Hadali said gently, "I've had someone make you something delicious today, would you like to try it?"

"Honey~"

"Honey~"

……

The three bees remained listless, responding weakly to Ms. Hadari.

At this moment, Anjie said, "It's really delicious!"

As he spoke, he opened the jar containing honey grapefruit tea. The faint fragrance filling the air immediately attracted the attention of the three bees.

"Come on, everyone, have a taste."

Anjie placed the teapot filled with warm water on the wooden platform next to the beehive, then scooped out a few spoonfuls of honey grapefruit tea into the warm water and stirred it gently. As the honey grapefruit tea dissolved in the water, the tea gradually turned golden.

It's best to use warm water, not boiling water, to brew honey grapefruit tea. Excessively high temperatures will only affect its taste and nutritional value.

After brewing the tea, Anjie took several plates and poured honey grapefruit tea into them one by one.

Bees have different body structures than humans, so it's more suitable for them to pour tea into a plate rather than a glass.

Upon seeing this, the three bees immediately flew over, landed on the edge of the plate, and began to drink heartily.

"Honey~ Honey~"

"Honey~ Honey~"

As soon as they took a sip, the three bees began to dance happily in the air.

Seeing this, Hadali was overjoyed, repeatedly exclaiming, "Great, great!"

After drinking Anjie's honey pomelo tea, the three bees' spirits visibly improved.

"I didn't expect you to actually have some skills," Ms. Hadari said in an admiring tone.

Anjie smiled modestly and said, "It's alright, it's alright!"

Then he asked, "Would Ms. Hadali like to try some?"

Hadali nodded and said, "Just call me Grandma Hadali. Don't call me 'Madam' or 'Madam,' it sounds really awkward."

"Okay, Grandma Hadali." With that, Anja took out a cup and made a cup for Hadali as well.

Hadali picked up her water glass and took a sip, instantly understanding why the three bees liked it.

The aroma of pomelo blends perfectly with its sweet and fragrant scent. When you drink it, the tea glides down your throat like silk.

After drinking it, Hadali felt her throat clear up and her whole body feel warm.

She glanced at Anjie. "You wouldn't happen to be some kind of culinary master, would you?"

To have such amazing skills at such a young age is incredible!

Anjie quickly waved her hand, "You're joking. I'm just the owner of a small restaurant in Wangcheng, barely making a living with my cooking skills."

Hadali looked on with suspicion.

Just then, a butterfly flew over, followed by two clay figurines.

Anjie waved to them, "Butterflies, would you like to try my honey pomelo tea?"

The butterflies had already smelled the fragrance in the air, and upon hearing Anjie's call, they immediately flew over.

Anjie also prepared a dish for each of them, and as expected, they liked it just as much as the three bees.

After drinking Anjie's honey grapefruit tea, the three bees' appetites were whetted. Grandma Hadari quickly brought out Pokémon food, and the three bees devoured it, showing no signs of their previous lack of appetite.

Seeing this, Anjie said, "Grandma Hadali, if you provide me with the ingredients, I can make more honey pomelo tea for you to store. You can put it in the refrigerator, and it will last a long time. That way, you won't have to worry about the three bees having a poor appetite."

At this moment, Hadari's gaze towards Anja was incredibly gentle, and she said gratefully, "Then I'll trouble you."

Anjie smiled and waved her hand, "No trouble at all."

Then Grandma Hadali brought Anjie a basket of pomelos and gave Anjie even more sweet treats.

Anjie busied herself in the kitchen, making plenty of honey grapefruit tea for Grandma Hadali.

After he finished, he helped Grandma Hadali seal the honey grapefruit tea, put it in the refrigerator, and said to her:

"Besides drinking honey grapefruit tea, you can also spread it on bread and pastries like jam. Eating it regularly is very good for your health."

Grandma Hadari nodded, looking at Anjie with gentle eyes and said:

"I understand, thank you, Anjie."

After closing the refrigerator, Anjie said, "Don't mention it. I'm already very grateful that you're willing to sell me some sweet treats."

Grandma Hadari said, "You wait!"

As she spoke, she walked into the warehouse.

When she returned, Anjie saw her and Ba Wanghua carrying a black jar that was as tall as an adult's thigh.

Grandma Hadari placed the jar in front of Anjie and said, "Here, it's all for you."

Anjie exclaimed in surprise, "So many?"

Grandma Hadari said, "This is all the stock I have."

She never sells her sweet treats, so she has saved quite a few.

The honey pomelo tea that Anjie made for her was enough for her and the three bees to eat for a while. After they finished eating it, the three bees would have almost finished making new honey.

So she thought of giving all the remaining sweetness in the house to Anjie.

Anjie quickly said, "I'll give you the money."

However, Grandma Hadari pressed Ange's hand and said, "No need, you can have them all."

Anjie was taken aback. "How can this be?"

Grandma Hadari said sternly, "Just accept it. Why are you being so fussy? Do you think I'd expect you to work for me for free?"

"But..." Anjie hesitated.

Finally, under Grandma Hadari's stern gaze, Anja had no choice but to accept it, and said to her:

"Okay, I'll accept it then. I'll make you another one after you finish your honey pomelo tea."

As she spoke, Anjie wrote down her contact information and handed it to Grandma Hadali.

"Please contact me if you need anything."

Grandma Hadari rarely smiled. After receiving the contact information, she said, "Then I won't be polite when the time comes."

An Jie laughed and said, "Don't be so polite!"

Afterwards, Anjie chatted with Grandma Hadali for a while, and the two even discussed how to build a beehive.

Grandma Hadari gave Anjie a lot of advice, which benefited Anjie greatly.

Anjie also had lunch with Grandma Hadali. The two of them, one old and one young, worked together in the kitchen for a while and prepared a sumptuous lunch.

To take care of Grandma Hadari, Angie specially prepared lunch that was suitable for the elderly.

After eating the food cooked by Anjie, Grandma Hadali became even more convinced that Anjie must be a master chef!

Around 1:00 PM, seeing that it was getting late, Anjie said goodbye to Grandma Hadali.

Grandma Hadari saw Anjie all the way to the door, saying, "Come visit again sometime."

She and Anjie got along very well.

Young people often find it easy to become impatient with older people, and they may also find it difficult to have meaningful conversations.

But Anjie was different. He was not impatient at all, and he was also very considerate of the elderly’s feelings during the conversation, talking about topics that interested them.

This is probably related to the fact that he grew up with his grandfather in his previous life.

Anjie waved and said, "Definitely."

The two clay figurines waved vigorously at the two butterflies.

When Anja returned to Munchlax's house, she was surprised to find that Inteleon hadn't come home.

"Didn't I tell you to go back first?"

"Hey~ Hey~" Master hasn't returned, I'm worried.

"Thousand Faces Escaper replied."

Anjie looked helpless, then patted the Thousand-Faced Apostle on the shoulder warmly and said, "What could possibly be wrong with me?"

After evolving, the Thousand Faces Beast's height soared to 1.9 meters, making it taller than Anjie. Now, it's not as easy for Anjie to pat its head as before.

Seemingly sensing Anjie's thoughts, the Thousand-Faced Avoid lowered its head and brought its head close to Anjie's side.

Anjie chuckled, gently patting its head and saying, "You little rascal, haven't you had lunch yet?"

"Intai~ Intai~"

The Thousand-Faced Bieber nodded, feigning grievance.

Anjie said, "Alright, let's go home. Master will cook you something delicious."

"Yes, yes, yes!" The Thousand-Faced Bane nodded happily.

"By the way, where are the pomelos that Jerami brought?" Angie asked again.

"Hey~ Hey~" It's in the warehouse!

"Thousand Faces Escaper replied."

Upon hearing this, Anjie went to the warehouse and packed all the pomelos into her system backpack. Then, she took the Thousand-Faced Beast and two clay figurines home.

After arriving home, Ange personally prepared lunch for the Thousand Faces Away and then handed the Master Ball containing Darkrai to Komaru.

Darkrai will belong to the Komaru from now on!

While the Thousand-Faced Beast was having lunch, Anjie found two bees and told them that he was going to build them a hive. He told them that if they had any special requirements for the hive, they could tell him in advance.

The two bees were overjoyed. They had no other requests, except that the area needed to be big and spacious.

Their original home in the Forest of Oruans was exceptionally large and spacious.

After understanding their needs, Angie found Robert 2 and discussed with it how to build the beehive.

After they had discussed it, the two clay figures went to the warehouse and brought out the wood under Anja's command. Robert No. 2 was in charge of sawing the wood, while Anja, along with Gengar, Snorlax, and Babubo, were hammering and banging away.

Beehives are not difficult to build. In just one afternoon, Anjie and his team built a four-story beehive that was large and spacious.

The first floor is for moisture protection and has no other purpose. The second and third floors are for the bees to make honey, while the fourth floor is for them to live in.

After the beehive was built, Anjie added various small items to it, such as frames, foundation, baffles, and covering cloth, based on the knowledge taught by Grandma Hadali.

Upon learning that their new home was ready, the two bees happily moved in.

Anjie smiled with satisfaction as she watched the two bees diligently flying back and forth between the flowerbed and the hive.

After building the beehive all afternoon, Anjay was exhausted, so he sat down on the steps in front of his house to rest with Gengar, Snorlax, Groundhog, and two Claydots.

Just then, Ange suddenly remembered that he hadn't claimed the reward for capturing Darkrai yet. He couldn't wait until evening, so he opened the system.

Sure enough, the "Revenge Quest" on the quest log showed that it was completed.

Anjie clicked to claim the reward without hesitation, and a system notification popped up.

"Congratulations, Master, on completing the [Revenge Mission]! Help the Tree Pillow Bear defeat Darkrai, capture Darkrai, and punish it accordingly."

Reward: Seed of the Dream Tree.

Dream Tree: A tree that can only grow in the dream world. It bears dream fruit, which is the favorite food of dream Pokémon.

Dream Pokémon: Cresselia, Darkrai, Dream Eater, Hypnos, Baku, Dream Eater, Misdreavus, Misdreavus...

Immediately, An Jie held a purple seed in her hand. The seed was about the size of a fingernail and emitted a faint purple light.

It looks pretty high-end! Anjie couldn't help but think.

Can things from reality be brought into a dream? Or... is this dream tree seed not originally from the real world?

But how do I plant it in the dream? Should I give it to Darkrai?

No way! Darkrai is too unreliable!

Let's leave it to Dream Eater!

Just then, Diancie returned from outside with Mareep, Orb-weaver, and Dream Eater.

This afternoon, Tianxi took Mali sheep to sketch near Lake Nibel.

"Tianci, Dream Eater!" Angel waved to the two Pokémon.

Diancie and her friends walked over and asked, "What's up?"

Anjie handed the Dream Tree seed to Tianxi and said, "This is the Dream Tree seed. Give it to Dream Eater and make sure it doesn't get planted in the dream world."

"A seed from the Dream Tree?" Diancie took the seed in surprise and examined it curiously.

Anjie nodded. "The reward for the mission."

"It's amazing that seeds can be planted in the dream world..." Diancie exclaimed in amazement.

"I don't know if it will work, let Shi Mengmeng give it a try!" An Jie said.

"Okay." Diancie nodded and handed the dream seed to Dream Eater. "Dream Eater, I'm counting on you. Try it tonight."

"Mmm~ Mmm~~"

Shi Mengmeng happily accepted the seeds.

Suddenly, Anjie had a flash of inspiration and slapped his thigh.

"I know how to punish Darkrai!"

Tianxi was startled, then asked疑惑地问道, "What do you want to do?"

Anjie said mysteriously, "You'll find out soon enough!"

"Hmph, tell me if you want, or don't," Tianxi said angrily. "I don't want to know anyway."

Then it led the sheep into the house.

Anjie touched her nose and said, "Why are you so angry? I didn't say I wouldn't tell you."

He then summoned Darkrai.

"Dak~" What?

Darkrai asked with a nonchalant expression.

Anja said, "Darkrai, starting today, you will go to the capital of Azot every day to eat at least a hundred nightmares!"

Doesn't it dislike eating other people's and Pokémon's dreams? Then punish it by letting it eat until it's stuffed.

This would also help the residents of the royal city get rid of nightmares, killing two birds with one stone.

"Dark~Dark~" Why? Our agreement was that I would listen to the tree-pillow bear, not you!

Darkrai vehemently refused to let it eat those nonsensical dreams; it would rather go hungry!

"Hmph~" Anjie sneered, "You have no choice but to agree. The first order from Komaru Kumaki is for you to obey me! Right, Komaru Kumaki~"

As he spoke, Anjie patted the tree-pillowed koala in his arms.

The tree-pillow koala raised its paw, clearly agreeing with Anjie's decision.

Darkrai's expression was acceptable, and after a long silence, he reluctantly said:

"Dark~Dark~~" Hmph, what's so great about it? It's just a nightmare, I'll eat it!

It was getting late, and since Gengar was on its way to work in the royal capital, Ange asked it to take Darkrai with it.

After Gengar and Darkrai left, it was time to prepare dinner.

However, Anjie left dinner to his apprentices to cook, while he and Mayaya made honey pomelo tea in the kitchen on the second floor.

He also called over the throwing monkey and the babutubo to help him peel the fruit.

Anjie made all the sweet treats that Grandma Hadali had given him in one go, making more than a hundred jars.

After finishing, he stored some of it in his refrigerator at home, and the rest in his system inventory.

Of these hundred-plus cans, only one-tenth contain premium food, which can slowly increase the defense and special defense of Fairy and Bug-type Pokémon if consumed over a long period of time.

Anjie was already very satisfied with one-tenth of the special effect.

Ange decided to reserve one-tenth of it specifically for her own Tianci, Magiana, and Xernias.

Ten jars should be enough to last for a while. By the time we finish them, his three bees should have already started making honey, and then he'll make more.

This kind of good thing should be consumed regularly and continuously.

While Ange and his friends were enjoying their dinner, Darkrai was already miserably searching for nightmares in the royal city.
