Chapter 65: To Take You Home
Ultramarine Town is brightly lit.
"God, why does Tianguan Mountain feel like it's going to collapse!?"
"Could it be that Sinnoh is angry?"
"Nonsense!"
"So, what else could it be!?"
A vision from the sky, a vortex of time and space, made the townspeople of Ultramarine Town panic...... The world that has always been normal has suddenly become like this, and it is normal to panic.
Jing stood on the street, looking up at the vortex of time and space, and after a moment of silence, he turned around and walked towards Xu Qiansu's residence.
With such a vision, he wanted to ask the discerning foreign merchant what he thought.
He walked through the streets, and in a few moments came to the front of the house, and knocked lightly on the door.
No one answered.
Jing was slightly stunned and knocked on the door again.
Smackββββ
The door opened lightly, and Xu Qiansu stood behind the door in a black kimono.
"Excuse me...... Mr. Xu is still resting? β
"Well, it's okay, what's wrong?"
"Born with a vision...... Do you know what's going on, sir? β
Xu Qiansu glanced at it, raised his eyebrows, and was a little stunned, then pondered for a moment before shaking his head slightly, "In my hometown, I have never seen this kind of vision." β
"I guess it's ......" Jing pondered for a moment, then reacted, and smiled embarrassedly, "I won't disturb Mr. Xu to rest......" After that, he took a few steps back and turned to leave.
Xu Qiansu glanced at his back, and then closed the door with a 'snap'.
He hadn't figured out how to explain the origin of Gardelia.
Xu Qiansu stepped on the tatami mat, walked into the back room, reached out and touched Jiadelia's forehead, and then took out the standing antipyretic medicine from the backpack and helped Jiadelia up.
"Gardelia, Gardelia...... The mouth is open and the medicine is ......"
Although Gadelia was weak and had a high fever, she was clearly conscious.
Hearing this, she frowned slightly, opened her eyes, glanced at Xu Qiansu, but asked softly, "This futon...... Who is it for? β
Well? Bedding?
Xu Qiansu was slightly stunned, he naturally couldn't put Jiadelia on the tatami mat at will, so she was lying on the futon at the moment...... But how does Xu Qiansu know whose futon it is, this is the ...... in this room
But he also smelled it when he covered it, there was no peculiar smell, and it was very clean...... Could it be that Gardelia dislikes him for sleeping and smelling?
As a noble lady, Gadelia is a bit clean, but it's normal.
Thinking of this, Xu Qiansu replied: "It's mine...... I'll get you another quilt later. β
Hearing this, Jiadelia's tense body relaxed slightly, she leaned forward slightly, took the pill from Xu Qiansu's hand, and then frowned, so bitter.
Xu Qiansu picked up the water cup.
Gadelia asked again, "Is this cup yours?" β
Yes? This water cup is naturally a shallow vegetarian, and it has been used for two months, and it is often used to fill lemonade to drink.
He nodded slightly, and was about to change the cup, but saw that Gardelia was already holding the water glass, and drank the medicine with a grunt.
After drinking the medicine, she closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Not a cleanliness fetish? Xu Qiansu shook his head, it didn't matter.
He adjusted Gardelia's posture and covered her with the quilt before picking up his phone and dialing Marlie's number.
"Escaped?" Marly's voice is still so transparent and pleasant.
"Well, it's settled...... However, Gardelia has a fever, and now she has taken medicine and has fallen asleep. Xu Qiansu looked at Jiadeliya's face and explained in a low voice.
"It's just a fever...... That's not bad luck. β
Xu Qiansu's eyebrows furrowed, "What happened?" β
"You have to ask her about the situation...... However, the ghost actually has a fever and can take medicine...... It's a big world, and there are no surprises. β
"Ghosts?"
The green lights are faint, and the night sky is lonely.
Marley turned her head to look at Gardelia lying beside her, reached out and stroked her smooth forehead, and said, "She sank her consciousness into the pendant, and her body is still here...... Now that you've met her, it's proof that she's successfully traveled through time...... It's just in the form of a spirit body. β
"Huh?" Xu Qiansu frowned, he stretched out his hand to hold Jiadelia's small hand, soft, cold, he could indeed touch Jiadelia...... And although Gadelia has a high fever, her face is ruddy, and she doesn't look like a spiritual body......
"Tell me more." Xu Qiansu said, he was still a little puzzled...... The pendant may be the source of crossing, but just sinking the consciousness into the pendant can come to the washing ...... Is that any superpower-based PokΓ©mon able to come? Is this piece of heaven and earth just a small space inside the pendant?
There are so many questions.
"I don't know, I have to ask Gadelia about the specific matters, she is the participant in everything." Ma Li replied quite simply, unclear is not clear, "But there is one thing that can be confirmed." β
"What?" Xu Qiansu let go of Gardelia's hand, got up and walked to the stove to boil hot water.
"To make that superpower person whose heart is higher than the sky and unparalleled in the world become like this, she must have endured a lot of hardships and encountered many dangers...... It's all for you. Ma Li's voice had an inexplicable smile, "It is worthy of Mr. Xu, who claims to be the first in the world to understand a woman's heart." β
Xu Qiansu stirred the firewood under the stove with a wooden stick and did not speak.
Marly's voice followed, "Gardelia's flesh is very safe in modern times...... But if something happens to your Gardelia, it's clear that the body won't be safe here...... You pay more attention, her way of traveling through time and space, if you don't know what accidents will happen. β
"I understand." Xu Qiansu, who can speak well, seemed a little silent at this moment.
After a little chatting about Gardelia, he hung up the phone...... After all, power is still precious.
He put down the stick that stirred the firewood and reached out to hold the gold and silver pendant, feeling its hard, icy touch......
If it weren't for it, Xu Qiansu wouldn't have come to this strange era, but if it weren't for it, Xu Qiansu might have died.
Xu Qiansu let go of his hand, got up and walked to Jiadelia's side, reached out and touched her smooth forehead, then stood up and pushed the door away.
"Chirp?" The vine snake looked at Xu Qiansu's back suspiciously, then withdrew his gaze, looked at Jiadelia's face, and also learned from Xu Qiansu's appearance, stretched out his little hand, and touched her forehead...... But it was empty, and the little hand passed directly through Gadelia's forehead.
"Pocha!?" The vine snake was shocked, this, this is to meet a ghost?
Originally, Gardelia liked to float in the air, but now she can't touch it, and she looks more like a ghost......
After a while, Xu Qiansu pushed the door back again, and an attractive aroma came from his body.
With Gardelia's current physical condition, don't waste time cooking...... So he went out and bought a lot of snacks for dinner.
"Pocha ~ Pocha chirp!" The vine snake kept running its little hand through Gadelia's little face, telling Xu Qiansu that the woman had become a ghost...... She, is she dead? Yes?
Thinking about it, the vine snake was a little afraid...... She is not afraid of ghost-based PokΓ©mon, and she is accurate to beat one by one, but the ghost among humans ...... She's never seen it before.
I've heard that the Night Demon has a job of sending human ghosts wandering in the present world to the spirit world, so shouldn't we go to the Night Demon Spirit......
Xu Qiansu sat down next to Jiadeliya and opened the various packages in his arms.
The alluring aroma became even stronger, and the vine snake sniffed it, and didn't care if Gadelia was a ghost or not...... She sat directly on Xu Qiansu's lap, picked up a baked cake that was half the size of her body with a rattan whip and bit it.
After fighting so many times tonight, she was already hungry.
Xu Qiansu helped Jiadelia up and softly told her to get up, "Jiadelia, it's time to eat......"
Since you can drink water and take medicine, it must not be a problem to eat...... It's just that I don't know if she, as a spiritual body, can replenish her energy by eating at the moment.
"Ah~" Gadelia opened her soft pink lips, and just when Xu Qiansu thought that she would use her superpowers to assist her in eating, she found that the food did not move at all...... Her mental power seems to be extremely expensive, so she can't use her superpowers?
Thinking of this, Xu Qiansu took the baked cake himself, broke a small half, and said:
"Let's eat the pancakes first, the outside is crispy and crispy, but the inside is just right, full of wheat aroma...... At the beginning, there was a beggar emperor who couldn't eat, so his wife asked someone to pull a baker from the neighborhood to bake cakes for him...... The emperor likes to eat baked cakes, and I like to eat them, so rounding up, I am the emperor...... The emperor fed you food, did you feel very appetizing? β
Jiadelia bit down the baked cake fed by Xu Qiansu, chewed it carefully, ignored Xu Qiansu's words, but still closed her eyes, and just pillowed on Xu Qiansu's shoulder.
Good! Eaten! It's good to be able to eat!
Xu Qiansu breathed a sigh of relief, and picked up the cup containing the tree juice again, "This thing has never even been drunk by the beggar emperor in his life, so it can be seen that we are more powerful than him......"
Gadelia turned her face away.
Don't drink? Xu Qiansu took a sip, it was quite delicious, and it was made of pure natural tree fruit juice.
Is it because you dislike the dirty cups? Xu Qiansu poured the juice into the cup that had just been drunk by Jiadelia.
I drank it now...... It seems that Gardelia still has a certain cleanliness habit.
Xu Qiansu put down the cup, took another bowl of soba noodles, and said, "This... The beggar emperor should have eaten it often, and it tasted very good. β
Gadelia slowly bites the noodles, even at the moment when she is being fed by Xu Qiansu, her demeanor makes people feel elegant and noble.
After chewing, Cordelia Sakura's lips opened lightly, and she finally said a word.
Zhu Yuanzhang heard...... I'm going to be by you. β
Xu Qiansu was slightly stunned, then laughed lightly, and said in a low voice: "He is not like such a person who has no bearing, not to mention that he is a dead man, and he won't let me move his mouth?" β
ββ¦β¦ If you can still read minds, does that mean that you have recovered a lot? β
Gardelia still didn't open her eyes, she replied slowly, "Mind reading...... It doesn't have much to do with my mental power......"
Xu Qiansu nodded slightly, held the chopsticks, and fed Jiadeliya a bite of soba noodles.
"That's good...... Take another bite of the pancake. β
"Take another sip of juice ......"
"A bite of bread, a bite of noodles, authentic ......"
The rattan snake who was sneering listened to Xu Qiansu's words, and couldn't help but roll his eyes, was he treating that human ghost as a child?
Xu Qiansu tore off another piece of bread and put it on Jiadelia's mouth...... She turned her face away and said she wouldn't eat anything.
Eaten.
Xu Qiansu wiped her soft pink lips, put her on the bed again, covered her with the futon, picked up the rattan snake and left the back room, and silently ate the rest of Gardelia's food.
"Ah~" Xu Qiansu tore off the cake and put it on the side of the vine snake's mouth.
"Chirp~" The vine snake bit down in its mouth.
She covered her cheeks with her two small hands and chewed deliciously.
Xu Qiansu chuckled in a low voice, and after he and the rattan snake had eaten all the food they bought, they took out a brand new set of bedding from the cupboard.
Very clean and no smell.
Xu Qiansu spread the ...... next to Gardelia There is no other place to shop, this house is so large, the front room is a place for cooking, and the back room is used for sleeping......
When the rattan snake got into the cup, Xu Qiansu blew out the light, but he just sat on the futon and didn't sleep...... He took a wet towel and physically cooled down Gardelia.
As Ma Li said, Gardelia's move is obviously extremely risky, and no one knows if there will be any accidents, even if it seems that there is only a high fever at the moment, but they can't let their guard down.
Therefore, Xu Qiansu sat silently beside Jiadeliya, taking care of her, and never took his eyes off Jiadelia's face for a moment.
And so it was until the sky cleared and people began to appear outside the quiet house.
Gadelia opened her eyes, and a little inexplicable appeared in her eyes, and she met Xu Qiansu's eyes.
"Good morning, Miss Cardelia, do you need to go to the toilet?"
Jiadelia got up slightly, then picked up the pillow and smashed it on Xu Qiansu's face.
"Hurt ......"
It turns out that the ghost does not need to go to the toilet......
β¦β¦
Xu Qiansu withdrew his hand from Jiadeliya's forehead, and his tone was relaxed, "The fever has subsided a lot, and you should rest for another day to fully recover...... How the hell did you get here? β
Gardelia looked much better, but she was still lying in the futon, she turned over, faced Xu Qiansu's direction, raised her eyes to look at him, and whispered: "Passed through the back of the world." β
"Tell me more." Xu Qiansu took the water cup and fed it to Gardelia to drink.
There was a little thought in Gadelia's eyes, she propped herself up, looked at Xu Qiansu, her long golden hair hanging down in front of her, and she explained:
"When my consciousness sank into the pendant, it was pitch black, and then I entered a barren world, which was supposed to be the back of the world...... There seems to be an unknown force around me pulling and devouring my power...... If I hadn't been able to perceive the mark on you, I would have planted it inside......"
Gardelia said it lightly, but the reality is far from that simple...... The place where she goes is indeed the back side of the world...... How is it possible for Arceus to exile Giratina, the kind of place, for a human to come and go without paying any price......
If it weren't for the fact that Gadelia was already an extremely powerful superpower, I am afraid that she would have been trapped there until she lost consciousness...... Only she knows the danger.
But even if she was lucky enough to cross the back of the world and come here, her spiritual power was almost exhausted, and even greatly damaged her vitality...... With her current mental strength, she is even a little worse than Larulasi, who has just passed through her formative years.
After one night, her mental strength had only recovered a little, and Gadelia had never embodied this feeling of almost losing her superpowers since she was a child...... If you can't find a way to recover quickly, you can only recuperate slowly.
Although Xu Qiansu didn't understand the specific sinisterity, he could also see Jiadeliya's physical condition.
He asked, "You took such a big risk to come here...... Is it to take me back? β
"Hmm." Gardelia nodded.
"How?" Xu Qiansu asked again.
Gadelia tilted her head.
Xu Qiansu smiled dumbly, he stood up, met the gaze of Jiadeliya, and smiled helplessly: "Let's find a way to survive in this era first, and then think about how to go home." β
"I'll take you home." Gadelia nodded, her delicate face confident and elegant.
Xu Qiansu didn't answer, he walked to the front room and began to boil porridge.
"Chirp-" The rattan snake arched in the futon, then came out of it and stretched.
Gardelia looked down at her, "Huh? Why are you snakes here? β
It turned out that last night, Gadelia's eyes didn't have room for the figure of the rattan snake at all.
"Pocha." The vine snake rolled his eyes, climbed on Xu Qiansu's shoulder with his little short legs, and watched him cook porridge.
Gadelia nodded her chin and floated in the air, coming to Xu Qiansu's side, also staring at him to make porridge...... It's really getting more and more like a ghost.
One person, a small green snake, a ghost...... Xu Qiansu's journey in this strange era seems to have just begun.
