Chapter 483 An Invitation from N!
Still featuring illustrations, but this time in a comic style! (Chapter 279, where the illustrations have been added and the art style is different; readers who want to see it can scroll back to find it~)
After spending a lot of time cramming on Carlos with Xi Si, Li Luochen finally got up and changed his clothes.
He wasn't wearing a suit today, just a dark casual jacket over a white T-shirt. His hair was unkempt; he just tousled it a couple of times before heading out.
When we arrived at the banquet hall, the repairs were mostly complete.
The broken stone pillars were replaced with new ones, the sunken ground was leveled, the glass curtain wall was replaced with a single piece of transparent glass, and even the dining table was replaced with a longer and larger one.
If you hadn't seen the dilapidated state of this place last night, who would have thought that just a few hours ago it was a complete mess?
The three sisters of the battle fortress are in position.
Chao Mi stood at the front, dressed in a green gown, radiant, and was exchanging pleasantries with the guests beside her.
Ye Ni stood beside her, her yellow dress accentuating her fair skin, and she smiled and nodded to the guests as they entered.
Zhouzhu stood at the very edge, her red skirt trailing on the ground, arms crossed, her gaze fixed on the entrance.
She frowned when she saw Li Luochen enter.
Xi Si didn't return to her room last night; it's obvious where she went.
She's probably already been won over by this man.
Zhouzhu gave a soft hum, looked away, picked up the champagne on the table, and took a sip.
She felt there was nothing to say about someone like Li Luochen.
Using financial coercion, intimidation through confrontation, and sweet talk to deceive, the process is carried out smoothly.
My younger sister is naive, so it's normal that she was fooled.
But she's not like Xi Si; she's not so easily fooled.
Zhouzhu put down her wine cup and glanced at Li Luochen.
"Guests are guests, Zhouzhu, so don't be cold to our distinguished guests."
Noticing her second sister's expression, Chao Mi reached out and gently patted Zhou Zhu's shoulder.
My second sister is good in every way, except that she is too proud and inflexible.
After saying that, Chao Mi didn't say anything more. She simply withdrew her hand, looked away from Zhou Zhu's face, and continued to exchange pleasantries with the guests.
Seeing through something but not saying it is the most basic decency for an adult.
"oh."
Zhou Zhu pursed her lips and stopped looking in Li Luochen's direction, but she lowered her arms from her chest and let them hang down at her sides, her fingertips slightly curled.
As for Ye Ni, she reached for a glass of juice on the waiter's tray, walked over to Li Luochen, handed it to him, and said with a smile, "Master Luochen, I'd like to offer you a glass of juice instead of wine."
"Okay." Li Luochen took the cup and gently clinked it against hers.
People like Ye Ni are easy to talk to and know how to read people's expressions.
Much better than someone like Zhouzhu who always has a cold face.
Li Luochen took a sip of juice, his gaze sweeping over Ye Ni's smiling face.
Ye Ni removed the cup from her lips, winked at Li Luochen, and lowered her voice, "Master Luochen, is my third sister in your room?"
"Why do you say that?" Li Luochen laughed. This little girl was too bold to ask.
"Because my third sister has always admired you, and since she didn't come back last night, so..." Ye Ni said, before putting a hand on her shoulder from behind.
"Fourth Sister." Zhouzhu's voice rang out coldly.
"Second Sister!" Ye Ni was startled and turned to hide behind Li Luochen, peeking out half her head. "What's wrong?"
Zhou Zhu squinted, her gaze sweeping back and forth between Li Luochen and Ye Ni.
Alright, alright, Fourth Sister, you've also betrayed us, haven't you?
Her lips twitched slightly, but she didn't say anything. She simply reached out and pulled Ye Ni out from behind Li Luochen.
"Don't embarrass yourself here."
Ye Ni was pulled aside by her, and when she turned back, she stuck out her tongue at Li Luochen and mouthed "See you later".
"I'm sorry, my second and fourth sisters are a bit too lively. I hope they haven't caused you any trouble?"
The eldest sister walked towards Mi and bowed slightly to Li Luochen.
As the lord of the fortress, politeness has always been her defining characteristic.
Regardless of Zhouzhu's cold attitude or Yeni's unrestrained questioning, as the eldest sister, she had to step in and smooth things over.
Li Luochen waved his hand: "It's okay, I'm fine."
"My good-for-nothing third sister, I wonder how her Carlos language discussion with you last night went?"
Asami smiled gently.
"Not bad." Li Luochen nodded slightly.
"That's good, but if there's anything you don't understand about the grammar..." After saying that, Chao Mi held Li Luochen's hand.
Her fingertips rested on the back of his hand, neither too light nor too heavy, the meaning was clear.
"Mr. Luo Chen can also ask me."
Li Luochen glanced down at the hand she was holding, then looked up at her and nodded slightly: "Then I'll have to trouble City Lord Chaomi."
He opened his hand to Mi Song, took a half step back, his smile undiminished, composed and dignified.
If it weren't for that proactive gesture of taking her hand, no one would have been able to tell that she was any different from the polite city lord from before.
Li Luochen withdrew his hand, remaining calm and composed.
Standing not far away, Zhouzhu took in the whole scene, her lips slightly pursed.
Damn it, even my eldest sister has fallen for him...
"Brother Luo Chen!" N strode over and put his arm around Li Luo Chen's shoulder.
At the same time, he looked around.
Hmm, very good!
Aside from those few girls, there wasn't a single guy!
Daigo hadn't arrived yet. Shigeru and Aoyama were at another table, while Kin was hiding in a corner eating snacks.
In other words, I'm the only brother present right now!
N smiled slightly, put her arm around Li Luochen's shoulder, and pulled him a couple of steps to the side, lowering her voice: "Did you sleep well last night?"
"Not bad." Li Luochen glanced at him sideways. "How about you?"
"fine."
N released his grip, picked up a glass of champagne, leaned against the table, and toasted with Li Luochen.
"By the way, when are you planning to visit the Unova region?"
After finishing a glass of wheat juice, N put down his champagne and looked at Li Luochen: "Our plasma team is preparing to do something big."
"What's the big deal?" Li Luochen asked curiously.
"We're searching for the last of the legendary Three Dragons of the Path." N paused before continuing, "Kyurem."
As soon as he finished speaking, two blinding lights suddenly shone from Li Luochen's pocket.
The light in black and white intertwined, shining through the gaps in the fabric of his pockets.
A surge of powerful electric and fire energy suddenly erupted, causing the surrounding air to distort slightly.
N's gaze sharpened, and she looked down at Li Luochen's pocket.
Li Luochen also lowered his head, reached into his pocket, and his fingertips touched two warm stones.
Dark Stone, Light Stone.
They trembled slightly in his palm, as if sensing something.
It's strange, really.
Since obtaining the Light Stone and the Dark Stone, Reshiram and Zekrom, as if by prior arrangement, both fell into a deep sleep.
If it were anyone else who obtained these two stones, they would probably have already summoned the legendary Three Dragons of the Dao and soared into the sky.
But my two stones, which I've been carrying in my pocket for so long they're practically worn smooth, haven't reacted at all.
Sometimes, when Li Luochen looked at those two quiet stones, he even wondered if he had picked up the wrong one.
If these two didn't actually exist, Li Luochen would have liked to throw them into the table and leave them to his descendants to play with when he had children.
However, it seems that they are reacting to the word "Kyurem" now?
