Elf: I have a secret realm of emerald green.

She patted Xia Shen on the shoulder, seemingly in gratitude, "Lili...lili..."

Xia Shen: "......"

Why am I suddenly feeling a bit nostalgic for Yuki?

Although Xia Shen couldn't understand what Miss Qun'er was saying, he could still roughly understand her meaning, which was nothing more than thanking them for their help... and so on.

So he waved his hand, "It's okay, you're Sticky Baby's friends, it's only right..."

To everyone's surprise, Miss Skirt's expression suddenly turned anxious upon hearing Xia Shen's response, "Lili...lili..."

Xia Shen was taken aback. Hmm? Did I misunderstand her?

“Lili…Lili…” Miss Skirt pointed in the direction the Poison Skull Frog had gone, then pointed to the ground beneath her feet, expressing herself anxiously in sign language.

Xia Shen seemed to understand a little. "You mean, the Poison Skull Frogs will come back?"

Miss Skirt nodded and then spread her arms and drew a circle.

"Will even more poisonous skull frogs arrive?"

"So you mean we should leave immediately?"

Miss Skirt breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Xia Shen finally understood her meaning, and nodded.

"But what about you guys?" Xia Shen couldn't help but ask.

Miss Skirt didn't answer the question, but instead glanced sadly at the Lilyroot dolls who had survived the ordeal and were playing and frolicking with the Sticky Pokémon Sororia not far away.

Xia Shen fell silent, realizing he had asked a stupid question. What could a weak tribe do when faced with elves who were far stronger than them and who fed on them?

Should we move to a different place to live?

Given the speed at which the lily root dolls move, they probably won't get very far before they're eaten up by the predators, leaving not even a trace.

Even from the most desperate perspective, the reason why the weak Lily Root Doll population has been able to continue to this day might be... due to the breeding and rearing by the Poison Skull Frogs.

Just like...humans raise pigs, cattle, and sheep.

Xia Shen was startled by his own terrifying thought, but the more he speculated, the more likely it seemed.

Only this conjecture can create a perfect closed loop.

Xia Shen didn't want to tell Miss Qun'er about this chilling thought.

Even if Miss Skirt knew, what could she do?

This might even plunge them into utter despair, causing them to lose the will to live.

…………

But is there no way to turn things around?

of course not!

This is clearly not a dead end for Xia Shen.

And the solution couldn't be simpler: move!

Xia Shen wasn't talking about slowly migrating in Xicui, but rather about completely moving out of this world and "immigrating" to the real world using a Poké Ball.

Moreover, the Emerald Fairy Ecological Conservation Area will soon need its first residents, and Miss Skirt and the Lily Root Dolls are the perfect fit.

The evolution of Miss Washy Skirt is not as demanding as the evolution conditions of other Washy Skirt-themed Pokémon; it only requires a Sun Stone.

For Xia Shen, who has the backing of Devon Corporation and the Trainers Association, the Sun Stone is nothing.

Xia Shen thought about it more and more and it seemed more and more reliable.

This ingenious move not only saved the lily root doll population but also provided a crucial piece of the puzzle for his grand ambitions.

Moreover, Sticky Baby will be able to see his friends more often in the future, which will surely make him very happy.

This is a win-win-win situation!

A world where only poisonous skull frogs are injured has been born!

But Poison Skull Frog... who cares if it dies?

……

Pulling herself out of her thoughts, Xia Shen called over Nian Nian Bao, who was having a great time playing with her friends.

Although Xia Shen thought his plan was perfect, whether Miss Qun'er would accept it was another matter. It was always better to prepare the persuaders first.

Seeing that Sticky Baby had crawled to his side, the persuader was already in place.

Xia Shen looked at Miss Qun'er, who had a melancholy expression, and said seriously, "I have a suggestion that can help your tribe."

"Lili...?" Miss Skirt looked up, her eyes filled with a mixture of excitement and doubt.

"How about coming with me to another world?"

## Chapter 140 What exactly is Xia Shen's secret?

Miss Skirt's ability to accept things was higher than Xia Shen had imagined.

After Xia Shen explained the pros and cons of the matter, Miss Skirt readily agreed to his proposal without even needing the persuader Nian Nian Bao to speak.

So, Xia Shen took out the Poké Balls he always kept in his space and put the dozens of Lilyroot babies lined up into the red and white ball.

Then came the three-skirted ladies.

Xia Shen glanced at their energy levels; the lily root dolls were generally between levels ten and thirty.

The three ladies in skirts are at a higher level, with two of them being over level 40 and the one who has been communicating with me being level 53.

Such combat power... Xia Shen became even more certain of his chilling guess from before.

However, all of this will become a thing of the past.

From this day forward, they will live in a prosperous land and will no longer have to worry about the safety of their community.

This prosperous land is not an ecological conservation area that is still being developed and transformed, but the Yan family's manor.

There was no other way; the conservation area wasn't finished, and my own home was a bit too small.

That small lawn could fit dozens of lily root dolls, but it would be too cramped for them to live on.

…………

It just so happens to be Sunday. After calling Yan Yan to confirm that she was home, Xia Shen finished breakfast and immediately set off on her little bicycle.

It took Xia Shen only half an hour to walk to the manor gate.

The last time I visited Yan Yan's house was in winter, and most of the flowers, plants, and trees in the manor were withered.

After more than two months away, with the changing seasons, this place is now full of life and thriving.

Several clusters of pale pink flowers, which bloom in early spring, are blooming by the roadside. Although they are not fragrant, they are still quite pleasing to the eye.

Xia Shen rode his bicycle along the path leading to the residential building, looking around as he went.

It's not only about appreciating the early spring scenery, but also about finding a suitable home for the lily root dolls.

After finalizing a few promising locations, Xia Shen had unknowingly ridden his bike to the front of the residential building.

Yan Yan was standing on the steps in front of the door, waiting.

When she saw Xia Shen slowly riding over while looking around, she smiled faintly, her smile as gentle as the pink wildflowers blooming by the roadside in early spring.

"Hey, no training today?" Xia Shen also saw Yan Yan, stopped the car, and greeted her with a smile from a distance.

Today, Yan Yan was unusually dressed not in sportswear, but in a light green floral dress, which looked both seasonal and flattering.

However, Xia Shen, suffering from a bout of male chauvinism, made a tactless joke.

Although she knew Xia Shen was joking, Yan Yan still suppressed her smile, glared at him, and turned to walk into the house.

Xia Shen quickly chased after the girl and grabbed her arm. "Hey, wait... I misspoke just now, let's start over."

Yan Yan turned around with amusement, wondering what kind of trouble he could cause.

Xia Shen placed the hand holding the Poké Ball behind her back, cleared her throat, and said, "You look beautiful today..."

Yan Yan curled her lip. That's it?

Xia Shen smiled slightly, and a white light flashed, revealing a slender elf with a pink flower on its head, emerald green body, and a graceful figure appearing beside Xia Shen.

"Lili~" She held a bouquet of pale pink flowers in her hands, and with a smile as warm as early spring, she handed the bouquet to the girl.

"Just like this bunch of early spring hyacinths, elegant and refined..."

The fragrance of the flowers seemed to carry the tender words of a young man's clear and melodious voice, touching Yan Yan's heart.

As if jolted by a ten-volt electric current, Yan Yan felt a tingling, numbing sensation throughout her body.

Her face flushed, but she accepted the bouquet with feigned composure, not even noticing anything unusual about the flower-offering fairy.

Xia Shen glanced at Yan Yan, who hadn't noticed anything amiss, with amusement, but felt quite smug inside.

It seems that my charm is still greater than that of the elves I've never seen before.

Without taking back Miss Skirt, the two people and the elf walked into the reception room.

……

Whether it was a coincidence or not, Yan Jing and Yan Yu did not go out, and the family of four were gathered in the living room chatting and watching TV.

"Xiao Shen, it's been a long time... This elf is..."

Yan's mother greeted Xia Shen first, then her gaze was instantly drawn to the conspicuous elf beside him.

Sure enough, this is the first reaction of a normal person when they see Miss Xi Cui Qun'er!

Yan Jing and Yan Yu reacted even more dramatically, not even bothering to greet Xia Shen, and stared intently at the emerald green sprite that was so different from the ordinary young lady in the dress.

Yan Yan then realized that the fairy who had just handed her the flowers did indeed look a little different... and for a moment she turned her head and stared at her blankly.

"Lili..." The four surprised gazes made the spirited Miss Skirt a little embarrassed.

Do I look strange?

……

"Is this the Miss Skirt in the form of the Ancient East Sea that you mentioned before?" Yan Jing, who had some prior knowledge of this, was the first to react and asked, guessing.
