A bright smile immediately appeared on Xingjia's cute little face, but Xiaozhi knew that this cunning little girl was just pretending.

However, this is indeed the first time Ash has entered this role, and he is a little unaccustomed to it, but he still has to act like an elder.

"No need for that, you can just call me Xiaozhi or Big Brother."

"When you are old enough to travel, I will formally accept you as my disciple."

"Yes, I'd love to." The little girl agreed without hesitation, because she knew that Ash was very powerful.

Moreover, it would be best if she continued to call him "big brother." In her heart, she didn't want to keep treating Ash as an elder; she had an even bigger plan.

“But Xingjia, I have to make this clear first.”

"Although becoming my disciple can bring you a lot of help, I will not make an exception for you just because of our special relationship."

"The training will be extremely rigorous!"

"Don't worry about that, big brother. I've said before that I want to become an excellent trainer, so I will definitely work hard."

Xingjia is more mature than her peers, but when it comes to her dreams, she is still a lovely and enthusiastic person.

Ash can also sense her true feelings for her new mother through the Aura, and that although she is cunning and sharp-tongued, she has a pure heart.

That's why Ash accepted her so readily.

However, at this moment, Xingjia unexpectedly handed the basket in his hand to Xiaozhi.

"Here you go, the groceries I just bought, it's still the Starbucks Special Poor Man's Vegetable Set Meal."

"These are definitely some of the most cost-effective items, and they should suit your taste, big brother."

"Poor bastard." Ash's lips twitched. "That Xingga, I'm..."

Unexpectedly, the little girl immediately waved her hand to interrupt him.

"I know, I know, big brother, you're very rich."

"But I'm not trying to set you up with Mom for your money. After all, you're clearly very rich, yet you're so stingy."

"He looks like a nouveau riche who was poor all the time and only managed to change his fate with great difficulty."

"I only value your character and believe you can protect Mom."

"Alright, you stingy nouveau riche big brother, go make breakfast for cute Xingjia, and she'll give you a loving good morning kiss."

"A penny-pincher who's suddenly rich?"

Xiao Zhi wanted to loudly refute, but then felt that the other person was right.

"Damn it, if only she had a little more of that childlike innocence."

In comparison, Xiao Sheng is more adorably silly.

—The Ripples of Water—

In the backyard of Yuezi's house, Xiaoyao and Yuezi were training enthusiastically.

Aside from the fact that Yuezi would immediately get very excited every time May gave a Pokémon a command, everything went smoothly.

"Ah, Bulbasaur's Vine Whip, I really miss it!"

"Seeds, seeds?"

The tense standoff on the field was interrupted by the excited screams of the newborn.

Then she ran to the battlefield, picked up Bulbasaur and rubbed its head against it.

Faced with this situation, Xiaoyao could only say helplessly.

"Sister Yuezi, you can't train like this."

"Sorry, May, your Bulbasaur is so well-trained. It reminds me of my first Pokémon."

"It's a pity that my parents took it away and are keeping it at their old home. I want to hug it again."

"Seeds~"

"Sister Yuezi, Xiaoyao, let me and Xingjia come and help you too."

As the sound arrived, an invisible hand, conjured from mental energy, reached behind him.

That familiar feeling instantly brought tears to Yuezi's eyes.

Her face flushed, she immediately stood up, and said in a barely audible voice.

"Xiao Zhi, you're so annoying! Don't do that in front of children..."

The power of the mind suddenly increased, then instantly decreased, and finally roamed all over the body like a snake.

This left the woman speechless.

Xiao Zhi just loves to tease Yue Zi, who seems dignified but is actually secretly passionate.

Moreover, Stargazer, as Ash's daughter, was actually covering for him, so May didn't notice anything amiss.

"Ash, have you and Xingjia finished breakfast?"

"Of course, I also cooked a few more dishes for Xingjia."

To prove he wasn't stingy, Ash even bought several expensive ingredients from the system shop and cooked a lot of dishes, intending to stuff Xingjia until she was stuffed. (Fake)

Unfortunately, the little girl saw through his scheme immediately. After she was full, she stopped eating, thus thwarting Ash's ill intentions.

That's wonderful news! (Ash: I didn't mean to hurt anyone!)

Having finished teasing him, Ash withdrew his psychic powers, and Xingjia immediately led the weak-legged Yuezi aside to rest.

Ash then came to May and Bulbasaur's side.

"By the way, May, have you decided which Pokémon you'll be using in this battle?"

"It's decided. The first round of judging will be the experienced Hunting Butterfly, and for the second round, I've decided to send out the Torchick."

Torchic was May's first Pokémon. Although it has never participated in a Pokémon Contest, as the oldest member of the team, it undoubtedly has the most battle experience and is also at a high level.

"Yes, it's a very prudent decision."

Xiaoyao had already become a little arrogant during her training with Yuezi because she had always acted as the teacher. She had never experienced being praised so highly in Pokémon before.

In order to prove himself a true genius and live up to the expectations of the mothers, he almost sent his recently captured Bulbasaur to compete.

Fortunately, Ash persuaded Bulbasaur to come back by saying that it wasn't used to being around people yet.

Bulbasaur, which has lived in the forest since it was a child, has never seen so many humans before. Forcing it to participate without sufficient training could easily lead to trouble.

Seeing that May had made her decision, Ash immediately began to instruct her on how to battle Torchic.

With Xingjia's help, Yuezi also began her own training.

The next day arrived quickly, and the R1 Grand Contest Longevity Tournament began.

Chapter 463 Longevity Conference

The Longevity Festival is larger in scale than a typical grand competition.

Even though the number of participants was three times that of a regular event, only four people were able to pass the first round of review, which shows how fierce the competition was.

"Ugh, the pressure is so great."

In the contestants' preparation room, Yuezi kept trying to hypnotize herself into seeing everyone else as stones, but she still couldn't help getting nervous.

Because of Xiaozhi, my postpartum period was already tiring in terms of my mouth, back, and thighs, and now even my heart is tired.

Fortunately, she still had Xiaoyao.

As a contestant who has been prone to overthinking for years and has had many experiences of excessive nervousness, Xiaoyao is now a mature woman.

Despite being much younger than the woman in the postpartum period, she was able to act more like an older person comforting her.

"Sister Yuezi, it's okay. Porcupine and Flareon have both worked so hard. As long as you both keep going, there won't be any problems!"

"Thank you for your encouragement, Xiaoyao. I didn't expect you to be so calm. You're really amazing. No wonder you're Mr. Qianli's daughter."

"Ah, haha."

Actually, Xiaoyao wasn't entirely unnerved at first, but she put on a brave face in front of her fan, Yuezi, to maintain a respectable image. In the end, she even fooled herself.

Xiaoyao is now bursting with confidence.

While May and her friends were preparing in the players' room, Ash and his friends had already taken their seats in the audience area in front of the stage.

The mothers also came over to cheer for Xiaoyao and Yuezi, and they all wore cute cheerleader outfits.

Whenever they see Xiaoyao or Yuezi's profile picture appear, they immediately start doing energetic cheering exercises to cheer them on.

These beautiful mothers have become a striking sight in the venue, sometimes even more eye-catching than the performances on stage.

"Big brother, the aunties are not like my mom. They have harmonious families, so don't look at places you shouldn't."

In the audience, Ash and his friends sat side by side, with the mothers on the left and Stargazer, Ash, and Max on the right.

After entering, Xiao Zhi watched the mothers perform, except for occasionally glancing at the stage, because Xiao Yao and Yue Zi hadn't gone on stage yet.

For some reason, this displeased Xingjia. She puffed out her cheeks and unhappily reminded Xiaozhi.

"Hey! I was just appreciating the beauty, I wasn't looking around inappropriately."

The flowers are blooming so beautifully, and everyone is wearing them out so openly. If Xiaozhi doesn't go and appreciate them, wouldn't he be lacking in romantic understanding?

"Hmm~, big brother is really worrying. Not only is your physique inhuman, but you also have excessive desires. It feels like there is no one in the world who can satisfy you."

"Oh dear, what if they attack me? I'm scared~"

In the past few days, Xingjia has witnessed Ash's prowess firsthand through her mother, and the little girl's eyes have been opened wide.

She feigned fear and put on a nervous expression, her tone seemingly carrying a hint of anticipation.

"No way, what's the point of hitting someone with your underdeveloped body?"

"Who knows? There are so many lolicons in society these days, and she's so cute. What if you're a pervert, big brother?"

Suddenly, Xingjia leaned close to Ash's ear and whispered something.

"Big brother, don't you really want to do... a mother-daughter flower ceremony just once?"

As she spoke, she secretly breathed into Ash's ear, looking like a little devil.

Unfortunately, Ash didn't want to get an electric shock, so he flicked Xingjia's forehead lightly, making her sit still.

"Don't tease adults. Where did you learn all this from?"

She's such a lecherous little girl; she knows more about all sorts of things than her mother does.

"Boring." Xingjia sat back down, looking like his scheme had failed, after being flicked.

"Of course I read books. I read all the books that my mom secretly hid from me."

She was still very proud, but before Ash could properly guide Stargazer, it was May's turn to take the stage.

The mothers immediately cheered her on, and Xiaoyao and Hunting Butterfly's performance was as good as ever.

While it lacks major innovations, it excels in its stability.

Compared to before, the Hunting Butterfly is now more skilled in using its abilities, and its body shines brightly in the silver whirlwind.

The judges gave it extremely high marks, and it ultimately scored 27.

"Sister Xiaoyao is amazing!"

"Yes, she's becoming more and more stable. That means the first round of review should be fine."

Previously, Ash would occasionally have to worry about her in these situations, but now he doesn't need to.

After Xiaoyao, there will be two more contestants before it's Yuezi's turn.

The mothers were so enthusiastic that they didn't even have time to sit down, but when the postpartum caregiver arrived, the women were surprised and started whispering among themselves.

"That's strange, has my skin suddenly gotten better since I had a postpartum period?"

"Wow, it's true! She looks radiant and glowing, like she's been nourished to the core. She looks several years younger overnight! I'm so envious!"

"You're so cunning, only you became beautiful by yourself. Remember to share your beauty secrets later!"

"Let's focus on the game now!"

"Good luck during your postpartum period!"
