Elven King of Bugs

"It's almost seven o'clock"

Bai Chen glanced at his pocket watch and murmured.

Usually he returns home around five or six o'clock. Today, he was delayed a lot of time due to the unknown boy's commission, and was delayed by an hour or two.

On weekdays, Baichen usually goes out early in the morning and goes to the Tajisi Forest to meet the giant needle bees.

Search for forest resources, supervise the training of giant needle bees, and take time to study on your own.

That's all in a day's work for him.

As for why the Needle Bee was not given to the Poké Ball, but released in the forest?

The reason is simple, Bai Chen doesn't have a Poke Ball at all.

He is not an official trainer and is not allowed to hold Poké Balls unless he specifically applies for it for some reason.

Although the Alliance's supervision of Poké Balls has always been open-minded and closed, there are many channels to obtain Poke Balls, but an ordinary Poke Ball is not cheap, and Bai Chen doesn't want to waste money if it is not necessary.

There is nothing wrong with free-ranging. With the strength of the giant needle bee, it is enough to survive in the forest, and under Bai Chen's reminder, he will not take the initiative to approach other humans.

In this way, Bai Chen spends most of the day training the giant needle bee and studying, and only goes home to rest when dusk falls and the sun goes down.

"I hope Grandma Yoko won't worry."

Grandma Yoko was the kindhearted person who adopted Bai Chen, and was also his only relative in the world.

Bai Chen respected and appreciated this old man very much. Without her kindness in taking him in, he would not have known how to live in this world.

Even though he has settled down now and has the ability to support himself, Bai Chen dare not forget Grandma Yoko's kindness and is determined to repay her in the future.

It's a pity that he is in an important period of chasing his dreams and cannot spare much time to spend with Grandma Yoko.

Sometimes when I think about it, Bai Chen can't help but feel a little guilty.

"Everything will be okay"

That said, in fact Bai Chen also knew how feeble this comfort was.

Becoming a junior cultivator is just the beginning, and the learning tasks and challenges that follow are the top priority. As long as Bai Chen is not satisfied with the title of a junior cultivator, he is destined to continue moving forward and cannot stop.

If this continues, the time he can spend with Grandma Yoko will only become less and less.

In fact, if it weren't for Grandma Yoko's worries, he would have already started traveling. While traveling, he would accumulate experience in fostering and explore ways to make money outside of fostering. This was what he wanted to do most.

After all, as a Pokémon fan, who doesn’t want to see and explore this wonderful world?

With so many thoughts on his mind, Bai Chen unknowingly had left the city and arrived at the street where he lived.

At this moment, he suddenly saw a middle-aged woman in blue clothes. She stood in front of Grandma Yoko's residence and looked around, as if waiting for something.

Bai Chen recognized her. She was an aunt who lived next door and occasionally came over to visit.

After seeing Bai Chen's figure, the aunt rushed forward with a look of grief.

"Xiaochen, Yoko Yoko grandma her"

"She passed away"

Surprisingly, Bai Chen was not too surprised when he heard the news, but was very calm.

He had witnessed the death of his relatives in his last life, and he had also witnessed the scene of elves being preyed on in this life. Death was not something he was accustomed to, but at least he could face it calmly.

Grandma Yoko was very old and not in good health. Bai Chen had already been mentally prepared for her death.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Bai Chen can't feel sadness, it just means that he can control his expression and behavior and prevent his emotions from being easily displayed on his face.

A few days later, a corner of Tajisi Cemetery.

Grandma Yoko's social circle was very small during her lifetime. There were only a dozen or 20 people she knew well. The land in the elf world was not as tense as in her previous life, so the funeral expenses were still within Bai Chen's affordability.

The funeral cost a total of [-] yuan. The ceremony and the land itself were not worth much, and most of the money was spent on the coffin.

People, the most important thing is to sleep well

This is what Grandma Yoko often talks about.

After the funeral, Bai Chen stood alone in front of the tombstone, speechless for a long time.

I don't know when, a large needle bee flew silently behind Bai Chen. Its scarlet round compound eyes stared at Bai Chen closely, with obvious worry in its eyes.

"Here, Grandma Yoko, this is your favorite flower."

Bai Chen placed a bouquet of Tajishi flowers in his hand in front of the tombstone. It was a flower with white petals and blue stamens, just like Grandma Yoko, simple and comfortable.

"It's nice here, far away from the city, with fresh air and your favorite Taji flower blooming"

"You must like it very much, so you can stay with this town forever."

"Actually, that's fine."

Staring at the photo with a kind smile in front of him, Bai Chen suddenly raised the corners of his mouth.

"You are always worried that I will be in danger outside. Although you didn't say it, you definitely don't want me to become a trainer."

Bai Chen couldn't help but think of Grandma Yoko's worried look that hesitated to speak every time she went out.

Even though he repeatedly emphasized that he would not encounter much danger, Bai Chen could see that Grandma Yoko still did not want him to step into the Tajixi Forest where wild elves were rampant.

In the end, Bai Chen had no choice but to lie and claim that he was going to school to study on his own to cultivate knowledge. He didn't even explain to Grandma Yoko about conquering the giant sting bee.

Grandma Yoko did not object to Bai Chen becoming a breeder. Unlike trainers, breeders did not need to fight in the wild, and the risk was much reduced in comparison.

In addition, the profession of cultivator is very popular, and you may not become a rich man, but you can still ensure your own life. Grandma Yoko’s expectation for Bai Chen is to find a stable job, live in a comfortable town, and live in peace. lifetime.

Unfortunately, this is not the life Bai Chen wants.

"Grandma Yoko, I'm sorry. It's rare for me to come to this world. I don't want to spend my life doing nothing. I'm afraid I will live up to your expectations."

"I hope that in your memory, I will always be that good boy who was obedient and would not refute."

"Thank you, Grandma Yoko."

Obviously I have a lot to say, but in the end, thousands of words can't compare to a word of thanks.

"This way, I'm alone again."

Turning around, Bai Chen resisted the urge to look back, and smiled self-deprecatingly at the Needle Bee.

“Sizzling beer beer beer”

Big Needle Bee could feel Bai Chen's sadness, but he didn't know how to comfort Bai Chen.

After hearing Bai Chen say that he was "alone", the giant needle bee couldn't bear it any longer. While flying around Bai Chen at high speed, it excitedly waved the huge stinger in its hand, as if to say that Bai Chen was not alone. It's like he still has himself.

"Needle Bee, you"

Seeing the excited Da Zifeng, Bai Chen was a little stunned.

"You're right, Needle Bee."

After feeling the strong feelings of the Needle Bee, Bai Chen smiled again. This time it was no longer sad or self-deprecating, but a warm smile from the bottom of his heart.

"I and you will also have many new partners in the future."

"Now is not the time to be depressed. There is still a long way to go in the future. I will also let you reach the peak of strength, and let the world see the charm of the insect system."

"When everything is over, let's come back and report to Grandma Yoko."

"beer"

The Big Needle Bee nodded happily. The Bai Chen he was familiar with was finally back.

"Okay, then let's apply for official trainer qualifications first."
