Pokémon: Blessed by Fate, starting with the destruction of Tyranitar.

At the same time, a Rock-type move, Rock Storm, is used to disrupt Skia's vision.

This move proved quite effective, allowing Li Huowang to successfully escape with the Mini Dragon and flee that dangerous place.

They ran a long way before the human and the elf stopped to catch their breath.

"What a close call! Luckily, I escaped."

Li Huowang didn't feel there was anything shameful about deserting in the face of battle. Face wasn't important; staying alive was the most important thing.

After resting for a while, Li Huowang composed himself and continued his harvesting journey.

However, just as one problem was resolved, another arose. At the corner of the rocks, he was blocked by the Fighting-type Pokémon Luvia.

316. Shadow Grass type, Skea!

Lu Wei remained unchanged, cold and aloof, wielding a heavy artillery machine gun and forcefully blocking their path.

The cannon was aimed at Li Huowang, with flashes of fire inside, as if it were about to fire at any moment.

Li Huowang's heart skipped a beat; wherever Lu Wei was, Li Yan was sure to be there too.

Li Yan is just like Kagura, scheming and cunning, they're equally bad, and she also hurt Reba in the past.

I don't have a good impression of him because of this incident, and I don't want to see him again.

But fate had other plans. Before he could find Reba, he ran into Li Yan.

Li Huowang stopped and reached out to block the Mini Dragon.

"Little guy, don't move! You're no match for that guy. Be careful!"

The Dratini sensed the intense killing intent and immediately stopped, too afraid to move!

The two remained locked in a stalemate for a few seconds before Luvi finally slowly lowered the machine gun.

Li Huowang saw that he was softening, and breathed a sigh of relief, finally managing to temporarily calm down the hot-tempered elf 963.

Then, he turned his head and glanced behind Lu Wei. Sure enough, he heard movement from his left rear. A gust of wind blew by, as if someone was running rapidly towards them.

In just a few seconds, the gust of wind reached Luvi's side.

Li Huowang saw Li Yan approaching with a strong gust of wind, and his expression suddenly tightened.

Li Yan possesses fire-attribute skills, and his arrival made the surrounding air noticeably hotter.

Li Huowang, feeling a bit parched, licked his lips and spoke first, greeting the other person with a smile.

"We meet again!"

Back then, Li Yan and Reba fought fiercely, but Li Huowang and Li Yan didn't have any deep-seated grudges. With a little effort, Li Huowang could still manage to keep the woman in check.

"How have you been these past few days? I saw you were injured before, has your injury healed?"

Li Huowang acted as if he cared a lot about her, but the other person's expression remained indifferent.

"My injury has healed!"

"That's good. I've gathered a lot of herbs for you these past two days, but it seems you don't need them now."

As expected, the other party reacted after Li Huowang said this.

"You helped me gather herbs? Would you really be that kind?" Li Yan asked with suspicion. Li Huowang had left so decisively back then, how could he possibly still care about her?

"Heh, stop pretending. If you really cared about me, you wouldn't have left so easily!"

Li Huowang's thoughts were exposed, but he didn't panic at all.

He suddenly sighed and patted his chest in anguish.

"How could you misunderstand me like that? I've considered you a friend for a long time. The reason I left so decisively was because I was coerced; I didn't want to leave either."

Li Yan did not believe his few words and said coldly.

"Who coerced you? You're not going to say Dilraba, are you? I don't know she coerced you."

Of course, Reba could not have coerced Li Huowang. These were all excuses that Li Huowang deliberately made up to mislead her, so he could not admit it.

"It's normal that you (Adbi) didn't know, since you weren't there when he threatened me. Did you see the Dratini next to me?"

"He kidnapped Dratini back then. Dratini is my best friend and has helped me a lot. I couldn't leave her behind, so I pretended to go with her!"

"Besides, you were injured at that time, and I was afraid she would find other Pokémon to deal with you. For Dratini's sake, and to prevent you from getting hurt again, I had no choice but to go with her."

"But during the two days I was away with her, I kept thinking about you, and I kept wanting to go find you..."

Li Huowang spoke with such sincerity that he almost moved himself to tears.

Li Yan's expression finally softened a little.

"Is everything you said true?"

"Of course it's true, why would I lie to you?!" Li Huowang said angrily. "I've been thinking of you in every way. I tried every possible way to finally shake off Reba these past two days, and I was just about to go find you, but I didn't expect you to... It really breaks my heart!"

After saying that, he plopped down on the ground and sighed sadly.

Even so, Li Yan did not completely trust him.

She leaned closer to Luwei and whispered a few instructions. The next moment, Li Huowang saw the fire-type spirit Luwei suddenly turn around and run away.

Not long after, they came back.

The human and the elf stared at each other for a few seconds, seemingly exchanging some information.

Li Huowang guessed that Li Yan must have asked Lu Wei to search the surroundings to see if Reba was around, in order to determine whether he was lying.

Li Huowang remained calm in the face of her suspicion and probing.

Although what he said wasn't true, it was true that Dilraba wasn't with him.

At this moment, he was quite relieved. Reba was no match for Li Yan. If she had really shown up today, Li Yan would never have let her go.

Luvia searched the surrounding area but didn't see a single person.

Besides Li Huowang, the only other creature here is his dragon-type and water-type Pokémon, Dratini.

After receiving the message, Li Yan's tense expression finally relaxed.

"Reba isn't here, so it seems what you said is true!"

317. They are both testing each other!

Li Huowang looked up and rolled his eyes at her.

"I knew you wouldn't believe me! Fine, there's no point in me staying here anyway. I'm relieved to see you're alright, so I'll be going now."

Li Huowang got up and left without a word, looking heartbroken.

Seeing this, Li Yan felt somewhat guilty and stopped him to stay.

"Don't go! I was really embarrassed to test you just now, but I don't regret it. After all, we're comrades, and there shouldn't be any secrets or lies between comrades!"

"You're too weak right now, you should come with me! At least with me by your side, Dilraba won't dare to get close to you again."

Li Huowang gave a forced, insincere smile.

"I'm not angry with you anymore, but never mind, I want to be alone for a while."

He still wants to find Reba, so what's the point of him going on the road with Li Yan?

If Dilraba finds him but doesn't dare to show up, that would be bad.

Li Huowang vehemently refused, but Li Yan persisted.

As the two struggled, Luvia, the fire-type spirit beside her, suddenly became enraged and pointed a heavy weapon at him.

Li Yan pretended not to see it, which clearly indicated that it was her doing.

Faced with such a blatant threat, Li Huowang had no choice but to give in.

"Hehe, I suddenly realize that what you just said makes a lot of sense."

"I'm too weak right now, it's too dangerous to explore this godforsaken place."

"So I've decided I'll follow you. We'll travel together and fight any dangerous spirits we encounter!"

Li Yan nodded with great satisfaction.

Is everything you're saying true? I won't force you, will I?

Li Huowang glanced at Lu Wei, who was exuding murderous intent, and wondered what he could say. Could he dare to say he was reluctant?

"Not at all, not at all. I would be more than happy to explore with a beauty like you."

"That's great!"

Li Yan stepped forward and took Li Huowang's arm.

"Don't worry, I'll treat you very well!"

Li Huowang's lips twitched. It was the kind of kindness that was shown to him, the kind that would send him forward if he encountered a powerful Pokémon that he couldn't defeat. He was not fortunate enough to enjoy such kindness!

"Um... there are two elves watching over us!"

Li Huowang freed his arm and immediately moved far away.

Li Yan suddenly laughed, "We've already been completely honest with each other, so what's there to worry about? These two elves wouldn't dare to look too closely!"

As she spoke, she leaned closer again and reached out to pull him.

Li Huowang was speechless. Good heavens, when did he ever open up to her?

You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want!

"It's getting late, let's hurry and get going!"

Seeing that he couldn't break free, Li Huowang simply let things take their course.

Like Kagura, Li Yan is a vicious person, but she is undeniably beautiful and has a great figure. Being with her is never a bad thing.

However, he could accept small things like holding hands and linking arms, but he couldn't accept anything more intimate.

Li Huowang quickly changed the subject and pulled Li Yan to the other side.

"I'm a little hungry, let's go find something to eat."

"We don't need to do anything, just let Lucy go find it."

Li Yan considerately pulled Li Huowang to sit down, then waved to Lu Wei behind him.

Lu Wei has a fiery temper, like a powder keg ready to explode at any moment, but she is very obedient to Li Yan. She understands Li Yan's words with just a gesture and runs into the depths of the jungle to hunt prey.

Li Yan then pulled Li Huowang aside for a chat, "Tell me how your last two days have been? How did you escape from that bitch Reba?!"

···Requesting flowers·········

Upon hearing Li Yan call Reba a slut, Li Huowang couldn't help but grind his teeth.

But he held back and didn't lash out.

"Oh, this is how it is..."

Li Huowang fabricated a whole story, and whether Li Yan believed it or not, he made it sound so real. He described his escape in great detail, how difficult it was, and how determined he was.

Li Yan was finally moved. "It seems you haven't had a good time with that bitch these past two days. It's good that you escaped. Don't worry, I'll make up for the suffering you two endured!"

..................

Li Huowang outwardly showed affection, but inwardly he was thinking: Sure enough, being love-struck can make a smart woman lose her intelligence!

Before they knew it, the two had been chatting for more than ten minutes, but Luwei still hadn't returned. Li Huowang glanced in the direction she had left and gave her a reminder.

"Why hasn't Luvia returned yet? Is she being held up by other elves? Should we go check on her?"

Li Yan, however, was not worried at all and instead comforted Li Huowang.

"No need. Luvi has a lot of practical experience. Even if she encounters an elf with stronger combat power than her, she will still have a way to escape."

Li Huowang nodded subconsciously, but the image of that terrifying Grass-type Pokémon relentlessly chasing after him and Dratini suddenly flashed through his mind!

That was the most powerful Grass-type Pokémon Li Huowang had ever encountered, with a base stat total of over 500 points, and it had learned only extremely powerful moves.

If that grass-type Pokémon were to face off against Ruvi, who knows how long it could keep her occupied...

"What are you thinking about? You seem so engrossed in your thoughts!"

Seeing that Li Huowang hadn't spoken for a long time, Li Yan asked impatiently.

"Could it be that he's thinking about that bitch?"
