Elf: I asked you to take the college entrance examination, and you took out a modifier?

Yun Xiao smiled and said seriously.

Gu Zixia was stunned when she heard this.

And Yun Xiao continued:

"Although what happened to your brother is regrettable, I think if he could see how much you have accomplished now, he would be really proud of his sister."

After these words were spoken, Gu Zixia raised her head and stared at Yun Xiao in a daze for a while, then suddenly raised her hand to her face and took off the silver-white mask.

The next moment, Yun Xiao was stunned.

Under the mask is a face that can be called peerless beauty. The eyebrows, nose, and mouth are like a work of art, making people feel sacred and inviolable.

It was not until then that Yun Xiao finally understood why Gu Zixia wore a mask wherever she went.

If people saw a face like this, countless men would go crazy.

At this moment, Gu Zixia's eyes were red and she smiled at Yun Xiao.

"...Xiaoyun, thank you."

"You're welcome. You're my sister after all."

Yun Xiao waved his hand.

"You saved my life this time. If you are in danger in the future, I will definitely risk my life to save you. Don't worry."

Gu Zixia didn't know what to say for a moment when she heard Yun Xiao's joking tone. After a while, she reached out and put the mask back on.

Yun Xiao could clearly feel that her mood was much better at the moment.

"Oh, right. At that time, I only felt the shadows of the three divine birds burst out from the scepter, and then I didn't know anything. What happened afterwards? What happened to the black shadow?"

Yun Xiao suddenly remembered this and asked curiously.

"The power of the scepter is too amazing. The black shadow was directly broken into three parts."

Gu Zixia said.

"You probably couldn't bear the power of the scepter at that time, so you fell into a coma. Fortunately, you have a good physique. If it were an ordinary person, they wouldn't be able to bear it at all."

"Where is the scepter now? Where is the body of the shadow?"

Yun Xiao asked again.

After chanting the spell, the divine bird appeared, and the scepter seemed to have released its bond with Yun Xiao and was no longer by his side.

As for that black shadow...he really wanted to know what it was.

If it is an elf, why can't the power of super control even establish a connection with it, and the soul eye can't display any information?

And if it’s not an elf...what on earth is this thing that possesses such strong psychic powers?

"Not long after Black Shadow fell, the Alliance came over and took the scepter away. As for Black Shadow's body, it seems the Alliance is currently conducting research and identification."

Gu Zixia thought for a moment and said:

"As for the scepter, you have saved it this time. The Alliance will definitely give you a large reward when the time comes—not just merit points."

"But this dark corpse...are you curious about what he is?"

Yun Xiao shrugged.

"Isn't Sister Gu curious?"

Gu Zixia recalled the scene of that day and couldn't help but laugh.

"I'm curious too. I've never seen anything like it in my life, and I'm afraid I'll never forget it."

"How about this? I'll ask the Alliance to apply for this for you. After all, you were the one who killed the black shadow, so it's no problem for it to belong to you."

Yun Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Thank you, Sister Gu."

"You're welcome. Just remember to treat me to grilled fish later."

Gu Zixia stood up from the bed.

"I'm going to contact the alliance now. Well, there's one more thing. Someone might come to see you later. He has something to ask of you."

"You don't necessarily have to agree to it, but if you are willing, you should be able to get a lot of benefits. It depends on your choice."

"Have a good rest. See you later, Xiaoyun."

Gu Zixia waved her hand and turned to leave the ward.

Her steps seemed very light, as if she had finally put down some heavy burden.

...

Looking at Gu Zixia's receding back, Yun Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief until she disappeared at the door of the ward.

This superstar risked his life to save me, so I must be polite to him as well.

In fact, to be honest, Yun Xiao felt a little strange about this kind of sister-brother relationship. After all, he had never experienced the feeling of being cared for by others.

However, a sister like Gu Zixia is someone that others cannot get even by asking for favors, not even by burning incense or praying to Buddha, so Yun Xiao naturally has no reason to refuse.

Having said that, this situation is really the most dangerous one since I came to this world...

Even the four heavenly kings combined couldn't stop that black shadow, and the power of super-conquer had no effect on him.

His target seemed to be the scepter from the very beginning, but the scepter was bound to Yun Xiao at the time. For Yun Xiao, this was almost a dead end.

The reason he was able to survive was due to a combination of various factors, which opened up the only way for him to survive.

If Gu Zixia had not risked her life to save him, or if Gardevoir had not taken on Sombra's attack at the peak moment, or if he had not thought of the critical point of the scepter's manifestation, Yun Xiao might have been dead by now.

But after much persuasion, I managed to survive in the end.

Thinking of this, Yun Xiao couldn't help but sigh.

Originally, I came to the Whirlpool Islands to attend the birth celebration just to light up the illustrations of the two mythical beasts, but I didn't expect to encounter so many things along the way.

He thought the giant stinging jellyfish incident was dangerous enough, but he didn't expect the black shadow to give him another big one the next night...

Alas, life is not easy.

Yun Xiao shook his head helplessly.

At this moment, a familiar voice came from Yun Xiao's shoulder, interrupting his thoughts.

[Have you finished talking to that woman? I have been waiting for you to wake up for more than a day. You finally woke up. I was scared to death.]

[This prince would like to make it clear that the black shadow was too powerful at that time. Even if this prince took action, it would be useless. ]

[But I didn't expect that the scepter in your hand actually contains the power of the divine bird, and you have their approval, otherwise I'm afraid no one would help this prince find the Ocean Temple...]

"What unlucky words you said..."

Yun Xiao said helplessly.

When the black shadow appeared, Manaphy lay on his shoulder the whole time without saying a word.

Yun Xiao didn't blame him for this. After all, Manaphy's strength had only recovered to the level of a Heavenly King. In terms of actual combat capability, even any one of the four Heavenly Kings might be stronger than him. You really can't expect him to do anything in front of the black shadow.

In that critical moment, he was very loyal by not abandoning Yun Xiao and running away.

At this moment, Yun Xiao suddenly remembered another important thing.

When the black shadow caught up with him and Yun Xiao realized that he had nowhere to escape, his first reaction was to lock up all the Poké Balls on his body.

Even the king-level elves can't last more than a second in front of the black shadow. If his own elves come out... the consequences are self-evident.

Therefore, Yun Xiao directly blocked the possibility of them taking the initiative to rescue him.

In hindsight and from a rational perspective, this was certainly the right thing to do.

But from an emotional point of view, I have to face the life and death situation alone, without even giving my elves a chance to join the battle. I don't know if everyone can accept this... and whether they will be angry.

Forget it, I have no choice. Just be angry. At worst I can comfort him.

Yun Xiao prepared himself mentally and unlocked all four Poké Balls placed on the bedside.

The next moment, three white lights flashed, and Rayquaza, King of Leave, and Bangilas all appeared beside the bed.

The space in this luxurious ward was large enough to barely accommodate the lower-class Gilas who bent down.

As soon as the three elves appeared, they pounced directly towards Yun Xiao.

Rayquaza flew around Yun Xiao's head, calling out with concern.

The King of Asking for Leave stood silently beside Yun Xiao, but the concern in his eyes was clearly visible.

As for Bangilas, although he had a terrifyingly huge body, his red eyes were now tearful and he looked aggrieved.

The last one was Mermaid. I don’t know if it was because he had just been captured by Yun Xiao not long ago and didn’t have any deep feelings for him, or because there was no water here for him to move around. After his Poké Ball was unlocked, the ball just shook, as if expressing its attitude.

Looking at the three elves beside him, Yun Xiao opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just smiled.

"Sorry for making everyone worried."

However, as soon as these words were spoken, the three elves shook their heads and made three cries.

In fact, they all knew that Yun Xiao locked the Poké Ball for their own good.

The youngest Rayquaza and Banglas didn’t think too much about it. He just thought that since Yun Xiao was out of danger, it was the best.

At this moment, King of Leave was standing beside Yun Xiao's bed, but he was lost in thought.

My trainer was in danger in front of me, but I was powerless and couldn't even help a little bit...

If this happens again next time, will I still be able to only watch in the Poké Ball?

No, absolutely not!

The King of Asking for Leave seemed to have figured something out, and his figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.

He went directly into the simulated secret realm for training.

Yun Xiao possesses super powers and can more or less sense the emotions of the King of Leave. At this moment, the corners of his mouth can't help but slightly rise.

He was very happy to see that his elf cared about him so much.

But then again, a normal trainer would never encounter such an exaggerated and dangerous situation.

It is indeed a bit difficult for the King of Leave to compete with a champion-level elf like this...
