Li Huowang finally realized that Li Yan was being sarcastic, so he covered his face and sat down on the rock next to him.

"I'm your comrade, and this is how you treat your comrade?"

"I don't want to either, but I'm really in a hurry right now, so I can only put up with this for now! Since you're my companion, you should be able to understand, right?"

Li Yan not only liked to threaten people with elves, but she also had a silver tongue. Li Huowang couldn't argue with her, and he couldn't directly turn against her, so he could only compromise again.

"Fine, I won't sleep, is that alright?"

Li Yan was finally satisfied, and she gave him a gentle smile, reaching out to take his arm.

Just a moment ago she was acting all high and mighty, but now she's like a little woman, her voice so gentle it's almost sweet.

"I'm sorry to trouble you for now, but I'll make you something delicious tonight!"

"Okay."

Li Huowang remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was furiously complaining: "Does this woman have schizophrenia?!"

Li Huowang was pulled forward by Li Yan. He pretended to cooperate, but secretly kept trying to find topics to chat with Li Yan, walking slowly.

The mini dragon has been gone for ten minutes, and he doesn't know when it will come back. He needs to stall for as long as possible before it returns!

At first, Li Yan responded to him patiently, but gradually, when she found that the topics Li Huowang came up with were all awkward, she became a little impatient and gave rather perfunctory answers, pulling Li Huowang to speed up the conversation.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Why are you asking about my family? Let's talk about this later. Let's hurry up, or we won't make it before dark!"

Li Huowang didn't want to bring up such an awkward topic, but he had no idea what to talk about with Li Yan.

He wanted to talk about Li Yan's background and his past, but the guy clearly didn't want to tell him and avoided the topic.

Seeing that Li Yan had stopped talking, Li Huowang became a little anxious.

He cautiously glanced behind him, but there was no sound from the path he had walked along; the Dratini hadn't returned yet.

Is this little guy going to mess things up?

Li Huowang was extremely anxious. Suddenly, he grabbed Li Yan and pretended to be very flustered.

"Wait, there's something I forgot to tell you!"

"what's up?"

Li Yan indeed became serious, his face showing tension.

Li Huowang first shook off her hand, then turned around and slammed his fist hard into the tree trunk.

"This is terrible, I completely forgot about something so important, I wonder how things are now..."

Li Huowang spoke vaguely, making the situation seem very serious, but he didn't get to the point, and even stopped halfway through his sentence.

The more he acted like this, the more nervous Li Yan became.

"What exactly happened?"

Li Huowang looked guilty. "There's something I forgot to tell you. I was so careless... Oh dear!"

Li Yan's appetite had been whetted, and he had lost his patience.

"So what exactly is it?"

"Okay, I'll tell you now, but I don't know if I'll make it in time!"

"Whether there's enough time or not, tell me about that matter first."

"Then let me tell you, you mustn't get angry! You must calm down and absolutely not act impulsively."

Li Huowang grabbed Li Yan's arm, looking like he had made up his mind.

"Can you promise me that you won't act impulsively after hearing about this?"

Li Yan was extremely frustrated. She was not a very patient person to begin with, and Li Huowang's procrastination was driving her to the brink of collapse.

"Okay, okay, I promise I won't act impulsively, just tell me!"

Li Huowang was finally satisfied, then took several deep breaths and spoke.

"This story begins before you came to me, I..."

He paused here, then slapped his head in frustration and turned away.

"No, I'm not telling you anymore, I'm not going to say it!"

Li Yan finally couldn't hold back anymore, and his voice rose several decibels.

"What is it now? Are you going to tell me or not?"

"I wanted to say something, but this matter..."

Li Huowang rambled on for a couple more minutes.

321. Kagura's hypnotic abilities!

Li Yan finally realized something, and she stopped urging him, her eyes turning cold.

"I've been asking you questions for ages and you haven't gotten to the point. You've just been rambling on and on. Are you deliberately stalling for time?"

"How could that be? What's the point of me wasting time here?" Li Huowang immediately reassured her, speaking sincerely, "I've already decided to explore with you, so why would I waste time here?"

Li Yan snorted coldly, "Since you're not stalling for time, I'll give you two choices: first, tell me what happened; second, don't keep it to yourself, we're leaving now!"

Li Huowang's expression turned serious.

"Alright, I'll tell you anyway... Do you remember Kagura?"

Li Huowang had a sudden inspiration and thought of Kagura, so he used her as a shield.

Kagura, Li Yan, and Reba are all acquaintances, and they must be very curious about each other.

As expected, Li Yan's expression changed immediately upon hearing him mention the woman's name.

"Why are you bringing her up? Did you run into her?"

Li Huowang sensed a hint of nervousness in her tone and was immediately overjoyed; the name "Ti Shen Le" (a brand of energy drink) was working well.

"Yes, I did run into her. I had only just gotten rid of her before you found me."

Upon hearing his affirmative reply, Li Yan's expression became very strange.

"You really met her? What did she do to you? And how did you escape?"

"This is a bit complicated. Sit down and I'll explain it to you slowly!"

Seizing the opportunity, Li Huowang pulled Li Yan aside and sat him down.

“When I escaped from Reba, I met her in a rocky cave. She was holding a folding fan and waving it at me, and then I don’t remember anything else.”

At this point, Li Huo paused for a moment, turned to observe Li Yan's expression, and found that she was unmoved, as if she had already guessed that this would be the result.

A thought suddenly struck Li Huowang. Judging from Li Yan's behavior just now, he seemed to know a lot about Kagura. Perhaps he could find out more about this woman from her.

Thinking of this, he continued.

"I thought I was going to die, but guess what? I woke up again in no time!"

Li Yan asked calmly, "Oh, and then?"

Li Huowang slapped his thigh and said angrily.

"Then I found out that I had amnesia. I forgot a lot of things. I couldn't remember how I met her, or the time she waved a folding fan at me."

“I asked her what was wrong with me, and she lied to me and said that I had fallen asleep and that she was my best friend, so we were going to explore together.”

"But it wasn't until later that I found out she had been lying to me. She wasn't my companion at all, and she almost hurt me. I was so angry!"

Li Yan was suddenly moved by the sentiment and asked in surprise.

"So how did you realize she was lying to you? How did you discover that she was deceiving you? That person has the ability to bewitch people, and she's always been very skilled at it. Since you were controlled by her, how did you escape?"

Li Huowang frowned, pretending that he had just realized what was happening.

"How do you know she has the ability to bewitch people? Do you know her very well?"

"It's not just understanding, it's knowing everything about them!"

Li Yan's answer surprised Li Huowang, and he immediately beamed with joy.

Li Yan knew Kagura inside and out; it was as if heaven was helping him!

"How did she do that? Why was I controlled by her? That woman seems very powerful. Have you fought her? Who won when you two fought?"

Li Yan gave a disdainful smile.

"Ha, her? She's no match for me!"

That's quite arrogant, but Li Yan isn't the type to show off, so what she said is probably true.

Kagura is so strange, she has a psychic attribute. Pokémon with this attribute have a strong understanding of psychic abilities, and Kagura should be the same.

Her powerful superpowers were quite lethal, but Li Yan didn't take her seriously at all. It's not hard to see that Kagura's superpowers have limitations; she couldn't even beat Li Yan. No wonder he ran away so quickly by the time she realized what was happening!

Li Yan, unaware of Li Huowang's thoughts, continued speaking.

"That girl possesses a superpower: hypnosis. Her folding fan is her powerful tool. Anyone caught off guard is easily hypnotized by her, and it's very difficult to break free!"

"However, as long as we take precautions, she won't be able to use hypnosis at all, so her superpower is just trash to me!"

Li Huowang nodded knowingly. He had been caught off guard, which was why Kagura had managed to launch a sneak attack.

Even after spending so much time with Kagura, he couldn't get rid of her through his own willpower; he only escaped danger thanks to the power of the Mini Dragon.

"I was bitten by the elf before I woke up. It's really hard to get rid of that guy once he hypnotizes me. Luckily, I was a bit lucky."

After Li Huowang finished speaking, Li Yan immediately asked a question.

"And then what happened? After you realized what was going on, did you notice anything unusual about him? Did you know where she was taking you?!"

322. Successfully attracted attention!

Li Huowang was of course unaware of this. When Kagura left, he was still under control and only came to his senses after she left.

He didn't know where Kagura was taking him, but this was the road Kagura had led him to, so there must be something fishy about it.

So he didn't hide it and told him directly.

“I don’t know the destination either, but this is the place she brought me to. Do you see the road we walked on behind us? She parted ways with me at the end of this road.”

Upon hearing this, Li Yan frowned immediately.

"Is everything you said true?"

"Of course it's true. I have no reason to lie to you. If you really don't believe me, then there's nothing I can do."

Li Huowang pretended to be indifferent.

It's unclear whether Li Yan believed it or not. She stood there with her head down, lost in thought for a long time, and then suddenly made a very strange decision.

"Come on, let's go take a look too!"

"Didn't you say you felt it was dangerous there? You—you still want to go in?"

Li Huowang was a little confused. It seemed that Li Yan and Kagura were both hiding secrets about how they came to this island.

"Perhaps I misjudged, but I must go in and take a look."

Li Yan made up his mind and immediately directed Lu Wei to turn around.

Li Huowang didn't say anything when he saw her strange behavior. He had only said these things to buy time, but they had unexpectedly brought about an effect.

At the end of this road is a cave where a terrifying Grass-type Pokémon is hiding. Li Yan will definitely encounter it if he goes back like this.

By then, he won't need to use Dratini anymore to watch the two sides fight each other.

Li Huowang cooperated and followed him.

However, in order not to let her see his intentions, he kept talking the whole way to distract her, just like before.

Li Yan didn't see through Li Huowang's ulterior motives. As they walked along the road, halfway there, Lu Wei suddenly sensed something and flew over to block their path.

"Master, I sense energy fluctuations; there are spirits nearby!"

Li Yan immediately became alert and took out a small disc from his pocket, on which was something that looked like a pointer.

The pointer kept swinging, and finally the camera focused on the grass to the left front.

"There should be a Grass-type Pokémon there!"

Li Huowang looked over as well, but saw nothing. However, he also sensed a faint fluctuation of grass-type energy, and the scent was very similar to the grass-type Pokémon Skia he had encountered before.
