I, Zhulan's childhood sweetheart, was trapped in Xicui.

Chapter 220: The crowd is excited

The red apple was placed in front of Xu Li for a while. Its surface was shiny, and it seemed that it had been carefully wiped many times.

"Boom..."

"of course can!"

Just when Erguiyan was expecting a reply but didn't get one, and was about to become depressed, Xu Li's gentle voice reached its ears.

"I'm just surprised by your courage..." Xu Li said with a smile, accepting the wild apple. "If you haven't come yet, I'll come find you after this event."

"Bo, Boni oh..."

Upon hearing the answer he had been waiting for, Erguiyan jumped up with joy!

It completely forgot about the people walking around it, who were the residents of Beishang Township, whom it had previously feared the most.

However, in the eyes of the people around him, Er Guiyan is just a child wearing a common green grass mask.

"Then..." Xu Li said, "Egui Peng, can I call you Peng Peng? As a friend."

"Would you like to join me in this celebration?"

Although it's a celebration to commemorate the 'three precious companions who defeated the demon'...

As expected, Erguiyan didn't care about this matter at all, nor did he wonder why Xu Li knew his name. Seeing Xu Li's outstretched hand, he happily grabbed it and started strolling around with Xu Li.

Although they were just strolling around, all the items were bought by Xu Li for Erguipeng, which he had only been able to look at from afar and had not dared to buy before.

Now, thanks to Xu Li, Erguiyan also mustered the courage to possess these things.

But Erguiyan, holding Beishang Township's special fried noodles, various kinds of food, and lanterns, lost interest in these things. He cared more about his good friend who was leading him around everywhere.

This is the first friend it has made in hundreds of years since its 'old man' who brought it to Beishang Township died because of the theft of its 'baby companion'!

This is more valuable to Eruption than anything else!

Just wandering around the celebration for a short while, Erguiyan felt very happy!

This is the first time in hundreds of years that it has felt the sense of companionship!

For Eguiyan, who was used to loneliness, this was like a river that had been dry for hundreds of years finally encountering a downpour, allowing his inner emotions to flow slowly.

Erguiyan doesn't want to be separated from Xu Li.

"Boni-oh!"

"Okay, okay..." Xu Li smiled, "If you're willing. After all, I'm not from Beishang Township, so I have to leave here eventually."

"Bo..." Erguiyan tilted his head and said as a matter of course, "Boni oh!"

……

When Diancie was hurriedly looking for Xu Li at the Mask Festival, what she saw was the grass-colored Pokémon jumping around holding Xu Li's hand.

"Well?"

Diancie's eyes suddenly widened.

He ran over on the spot and got to know Erguiyan.

So, the number of Pokémon that Xu Li had to accompany Masked Festival to go shopping became two.

One green, one pink, holding hands, they looked like two children at a festival. Eruption, with his pure mind devoid of any evil, quickly became close friends with Diancie, the embodiment of kindness and purity.

The two Pokémon held Xu Li's hands and gradually became cheerful. Xu Li could only follow them helplessly.

In front of a mask vendor.

Diancie took a fancy to the pink mask. After Xu Li bought it, she didn't put it on. Instead, she stretched out her little hand to touch the mask.

Countless bright and tiny beautiful crystals suddenly appeared on the mask, making the mask look even more dazzling and sparkling with pink light.

Then Diancie held the mask, turned to the Uruk-York beside her, and handed it over with both hands.

"This is a gift for Pian Pian!" said Diancie.

"Bo~Boni-oh!"

The star's eyes under the mask of Erotica are shining brightly, and she looks very happy!

This is the second gift a friend gave it! It’s a mask!

At that moment, Erguiyan couldn't wait to put it on.

But at least it still had a shred of common sense, knowing not to remove the mask in the middle of such a bustling scene. Xu Li led the three of them to the corner of the Masked Face Ceremony and witnessed Er Guiyan taking off his mask.

It was the same cute face that Xu Li had seen Er Guiyan before. However, Er Guiyan now looked very happy and smiling, unlike the embarrassed look he had when he met Xu Li.

Diancie was also surprised that beneath the terrifying and ferocious mask of Eruption, there was such a cute face.

"How beautiful!" it exclaimed in surprise.

"Boni-oh..." Uruk-chan was very shy. It was the first time that two people had stared at it for so long without its mask.

But when it handed the green grass mask to Xu Li, took out the rose quartz mask given by Diancie, and wanted to put it on—

"Evil, evil spirit!!!"

An unexpected cry came from far away. The sound was so loud that Xu Li, who was half a street away, could hear it clearly.

Diancie didn't react, still looking forward to seeing the Uruk-O don its mask.

But Erguiyan trembled all over.

Xu Li frowned slightly and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw a little boy holding a telescope, a toy like those you can buy at the Masking Festival. He was pointing at them, his mouth still gaping, and he kept shouting.

"It's an evil ghost! Mom, Mom... Help me, the evil ghost wants to eat me..."

Xu Li: “…”

Why do some children use telescopes to look around?

Because Xu Li and Diancie were amazed at the cute face of the Uruk-Yok, the Uruk-Yok unconsciously turned an extra circle, which is why the child who was using the telescope carelessly discovered it...

Xu Li reacted quickly and covered the trembling Evil Ghost with his hands, and said softly and quickly to comfort him, "Don't be afraid, you are not an 'evil ghost'. Don't be afraid, we will protect you."

Diancie blinked, as if she understood the situation. Her beautiful face with pink and white ripples blocked the sight of Errachi, preventing the people attracted by the cry from seeing Errachi's face.

But even after growing up, Diancie's body is still petite.

There is no way to block it completely.

But its extremely beautiful appearance still attracted many eyes that originally wanted to explore the "evil ghost", drawing their attention to it and giving Xu Li some time to react.

The loud cry of "evil ghost" immediately made the people of Beishang Village tense and ready for battle. In a short while, they nervously took out their ceremonial clubs, pitchforks and other "weapons" and surrounded them.

Xu Li pursed his lips.

The sound of discussion has gradually begun.

"Is it an evil spirit? Maybe the child just made up his mind and made a mistake..."

"But no matter what, we have to confirm it first!" Someone saw Xu Li hiding something and said decisively, "You outsider! Show us what you're hiding, and we'll naturally disperse..."

After a long pause, seeing that Xu Li did not take any action, people's eyes gradually became suspicious.

"You..." The man was about to say something threatening.

"Of course." Xu Li interrupted with a smile.

The concealing action ended, and the thing that was supposed to be 'concealed' was - there was no Pokémon.

Xu Li spread his hands and said, "Actually, I'm also confused. Why are you surrounding me? There's nothing there..."

"You're lying!" the Beishang Township residents pointed at Xu Li and shouted angrily, "We clearly saw something hidden behind him! We can see clearly!"

When he said the last sentence, the man looked around at everyone, trying to get some recognition.

But... everyone's eyes were a little evasive. Their attention had been elsewhere.

However, the man continued, "You're hiding something! You actually have something to hide! Evil spirits are the most taboo things in Beishang Township! If you don't reveal what you've been hiding behind your back today, we'll..."

This sentence has been recognized by many people.

The crowd pressed forward, trying to use their power to force Xu Li to surrender.

Xu Li felt somewhat helpless. He waved his hand towards Zi Yu, who was trying to help from the outside of the crowd, and gestured to Zi Yu to handle the situation himself. He also asked her to hold back the other Blueberry Academy students to prevent the situation from escalating.

To be honest, he didn't dare to show it, as he would be exposed if he did.

However, Xu Li looked at the group of Beishang Township residents in silence: They hadn't even released their Pokémon, yet they wanted to meet the 'evil ghost'...

Aren't you afraid that it really is an 'evil ghost' that will come out and eat you all?

They just bully the good 'evil ghosts'.

But Xu Li is not kind when he shouldn't be kind.

"There's nothing behind me anyway." Xu Li spread his hands again, his eyes gradually turning into anger. "If you continue to force me, you should think about it..."

Behind him, with a bang, an electric dragon bathed in electric light appeared with a powerful and imposing body.

"Mah... Uwaa ...

——Halfway through the bleating, the electric dragon suddenly reacted and roared fiercely.

Then...

Bang!

A thick bolt of lightning suddenly exploded, scaring some of the residents surrounding Xu Li.

"You, you..." The man who had initially oppressed Xu Li pointed at him, "How dare you threaten us! We're going to expel you..."

Before he could finish what Xu Liyi was saying, a bald man suddenly jumped out from the crowd.

"Stop! Stop!" The administrator of the community center squeezed in. Under pressure from Blueberry Academy, he had to come out and say a few words.

So he touched the nonexistent sweat on his head and said, "Is there some misunderstanding... How about this, let me talk to this gentleman..."

He got the chance to talk to Xu Li as he wished.

Then, he stretched out his hand in front of Xu Li, rubbed his two fingers together, and made a gesture of asking for money. He whispered, "Two hundred thousand Alliance coins, I'll take care of it for you..."

Xu Li: “…”

Two hundred thousand? !

It's simply robbery.

Although Xu Li could easily afford it, there was no need.

Xu Li decisively shook his head and refused, "To be honest, I wish you would kick me out of here."

The administrator immediately spread his hands, indicating that the Beishang Township residents outside were not negotiable. After retreating back into the crowd, he continued to talk about Xu Li's strong suspicion of the hidden evil spirit.

Xu Li shook his head, they were birds of a feather.

"That's enough," he said. "If you don't dare to touch me, I'll leave. As you wish, I'm leaving Beishang Township."

The electric dragon insisted on maintaining its grinning appearance, gritted its teeth and sent down another bolt of lightning - although this lightning, which was generated by itself, scared itself and its body trembled slightly.

Xu Li took a step forward.

The crowd all retreated in panic, glaring at Xu Li angrily but not daring to say anything.

But under the might of thunder and lightning, no one dared to speak out.

Xu Li was about to leave.

But at this moment.

Not far from the center of the Northbound Face Covering Ceremony, three purple lights suddenly shot up into the sky.

"Yes, yes... Baoban?!" the residents of Kitakami Township cried out in disbelief. "They're here to help us!"

Then they glared at Xu Li: "You actually managed to attract the arrival of the righteous treasure! Sure enough, you were hiding the evil ghost before. Or rather, you are the next evil ghost!"

For a moment, the crowd was filled with indignation. Those who had previously been suppressed by Xu Li now looked at Xu Li with eyes filled with resentment and excitement, as if they had gained a powerful backer.

Words of constant provocation and insult to Xu Li came out of their mouths.

Instead, Xu Li stood still and looked at the three purple lights with interest, without arguing with these people.

Now, he doesn't want to leave anyway.
