Chapter 526 It's time to give Uncle Crimson Flame Pine a small gift.
"A gift? Oh dear, Uncle Wu, you've already come all this way, I feel a bit embarrassed to bring a gift." Li Luochen quickly waved his hand, offering one polite remark after another.
He was genuinely embarrassed to accept any more gifts. He'd received so many gifts these past few days.
The gold chain of the water sycamore, the collar pin of the red flame pine, the sakaki hasn't taken it out yet but it's definitely coming, Daigo's ore, and now Akari is going to give it to him again.
I receive so many gifts that my hands are sore; it feels like I'm in Versailles.
Not to mention that when he visited Chi Ri before, he went empty-handed and brought nothing with him.
Now his fifth uncle is giving him gifts instead, what's going on?
However, Chi Ri glanced at him expressionlessly, then placed the dark-colored handbag on the entryway cabinet, the zipper half-open.
The movements were fluid and natural, not at all like someone was asking for his opinion.
Without saying a word, Chi Ri unzipped his bag and took out a fist-sized pearl from it.
It was entirely purple, with what appeared to be a nebula slowly swirling inside, its light deep and soft, making the air in the entryway seem to freeze a little as soon as it appeared.
"Wow! This gem exudes a strong spatial aura; could it be related to Palkia?"
Hupa floated out from some corner, its round body almost touching the surface of the pearl, its eyes wide open, as if it wanted to swallow the whole pearl.
"I dug this up in Tianguan Mountain; it was just unearthed not long ago."
Chi Ri explained, his tone still calm, as if he had just casually picked up a stone.
Li Luochen didn't rush to reach out. With a thought, he brought up the system panel.
[Props: Big White Jade]
[Note: This is a large, radiant bead. When used on Palkia, it can increase its power and change its form.]
He stared at the panel for two seconds, then slowly exhaled.
This thing is extremely valuable!
Li Luochen looked up at the blazing sun.
Chi Ri remained expressionless, merely raising his chin slightly to indicate that he should accept the gift: "You've already brought the gift, there's no reason for me to take it back, right?"
Li Luochen scratched his head; what his fifth uncle said made sense.
But......
never mind!
He took a deep breath, banished those sentimental thoughts from his mind, carefully put the pearl away, then took out his phone and turned to hand it to Huba, who was floating beside him, waiting expectantly.
"Hoopa, take your phone and go over to Giratina. Take some pictures of it, and also some landscape photos of the Reverse World."
Hoopa paused, the golden halo swaying in mid-air, and blinked her big eyes: "Huh? Go now?"
"Let's go now." Li Luochen nodded. "We have a pretty good relationship with Giratina, so taking a few photos shouldn't be a problem. Go quickly and come back quickly."
"When you come back, Jenny will play with this bead for a while."
"Yay!"
Hupa took the phone, cheered, and a golden circle of light drew in front of him, with a hazy sky and upside-down mountain peaks faintly visible at the other end of the circle.
It plunged inside, and the light circle immediately shrank and disappeared, leaving the entrance hall quiet again.
Chi Ri watched the disappearing golden halo, his gaze flickering slightly, but he said nothing.
Li Luochen turned around and smiled at Chi Ri: "Fifth Uncle, come in and sit down, don't stand at the door."
The two walked down the corridor one after the other. Li Luochen walked casually, while Chi Ri followed behind him, his expression normal and his steps steady.
But at this moment, Chi Ri's heart was already in turmoil.
Chi Ri lowered his eyes, his gaze fixed on the back of Li Luochen's head. Beneath that indifferent face, something was surging violently.
He was always pursuing the perfect world.
A world without conflict, without flaws, beyond reality.
The reversed world, with its hazy sky, inverted mountains, and tranquil and eternal space, is precisely the blueprint he pursues that comes closest to his ideal.
He had imagined what that world looked like in his mind countless times, but he had never seen it with his own eyes.
Now, he has only given away a precious pearl.
My nephew actually wants to take photos of him that show the world turned upside down.
Chi Ri's fingers curled slightly and he hid them in his trench coat pocket.
His breathing remained steady, his pace unhurried, and even his expression showed no obvious change, but his usually calm heart was pounding in his chest!
He didn't know what kind of photos Hoopa would take back, or what kind of scenery the reversed world would present through the lens.
But he knew that Li Luochen had taken those photos especially for him!
This thought moved him more than any photograph!
Chi Ri silently took out his phone and opened the pinned group chat.
[Global Rainbow Project (11)]
[The Reversed Red Sun: I've arrived at the Minrong Martial Arts Hall.]
After the message was sent, the group was silent for a few seconds before a reply popped up.
[Sunny Day with No Rain: Sure, I arrived yesterday.]
Chi Ri didn't ask what time the other person arrived yesterday, and typed another line of text on the screen.
[The Reversed Sun: How did you know my nephew took pictures of the Reversed World and Giratina for me?]
[Sunny day with no rain: ???]
You could feel the shock in those three question marks even through the screen.
Chi Ri stared blankly, his lips not curving upwards, but something flickered in his eyes.
Meanwhile, in the room upstairs, Chi Yansong clutched his chest, his fingers gripping his phone tightly.
He stared at the words on the screen, reading them over and over again to make sure he wasn't seeing things and that he wasn't dreaming.
Photos of the Reverse World, photos of Giratina.
Crimson Flame Pine took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, then took another deep breath and exhaled again.
He couldn't get the breath out of his chest, as if someone had punched him hard in the heart, or as if someone had opened a window in front of him, with a beautiful view outside, but that window wasn't opened for him!
hateful!!!
Of course, this "detestable" was not said to Chi Ri, but to Shui Wutong.
This is because the news from Akari reminded him of when Water Archie was showing off photos of his heterochromatic Kyogre, it was something similar!
Boom boom boom!
A rapid knocking sounded on the door.
There was a knock on Crimson Pine's door, and Water Willow's signature loud voice rang out from outside, rising in tone and filled with undisguised schadenfreude: "Oh ho~ Who didn't receive a gift from their nephew?"
"Red Flame Pine, is that you?"
After reading the chat history in the group, Shui Wutong rushed to the gate of Chiyansong to say these words.
Chi Yan was quite relieved, but the tightness in his chest didn't go away.
However, at that moment, the air around him suddenly distorted slightly.
A golden halo appeared silently.
Hupa's hand emerged from the halo, grasping a brownish-yellow slab of stone, which he casually tossed into Crimson Pine's arms.
Chi Yansong instinctively caught it. The stone slab was slightly cool to the touch, and its heavy texture made his wrist sink slightly downwards.
"The boss said he's still a little uneasy about taking the crimson pearl, so he'll lend you this earth stone slab for a while."
Hupa's voice came from the other end of the Golden Ring.
After saying that, the golden ring quickly shrank and disappeared without a trace.
Crimson Pine looked down at the stone slab in his hand, then said to the doorway, "You stinking brute, even my nephew gave me a gift!"
"You're kidding me!!"
"If I were lying, you'd be my son!"
"What if I'm not lying?"
"You are my son too!"
Water Wutong: ?
Unbeknownst to her, Shui Wutong seemed to have become a member of the same generation as Li Luochen...
