Chapter 224 Can the Beauty Trap Seduce Li Luochen?

There's still some time before nightfall.

With nothing else to do, Li Luochen went to the backyard to play with Manaphy and Phiona.

"Speaking of which, you're going to the Canghai Sea, right? Do you know where the Canghai Sea is?"

Well known.

Manaphy was born in the cold seabed and drifted with the current.

I don't know when it happened.

In order to return to the seabed where they were born, Manaphy swims a very long distance.

And the sea is Manafi's hometown.

Kyoka kept Manaphy here to raise it, waiting for Manaphy to become powerful enough to return to the Sea.

"I...I don't know either, but as I get closer and closer to my hometown, I feel a sense of familiarity."

Manaphy's answer made Li Luochen thoughtful.

"Alright, then you should focus on recovering from your injuries these next few days, and then build up your strength for a while. Let me know when you've gained enough strength. I'll see if I have time then, and if I do, I'll take you on a trip to see if I can bring you back to Canghai."

Since Georka entrusted him with the task, he should do it well.

We can't just do it haphazardly.

If done well, it would be a step closer to that shiny Kyogre.

As the connector.

It's not just about getting along well with humans; it's also about getting along well with Pokémon.

In this way, he would have a foothold in both the human world and the Pokémon world.

"Okay! Thank you, sir!"

Manaphy's voice is incredibly sweet.

Li Luochen wiped his nose and looked at the timid Fiona beside him: "Is there anything you'd like to eat?"

"Feio~" (I want to eat some seaweed~)

Fiona prefers to eat something vegetarian.

"Just give me a few fish, that'll do."

Manaphy, on the other hand, wanted to eat some fish.

Seeing this, Li Luochen also went to the nearby vegetable market to buy groceries.

……

……

Donghuang region, Hunan Province.

"Lord Dongtian, the power of our wishes has been fully absorbed. The youth who was previously ranked seventh among the Eight Corners has passed away. We went to the site three days after their deaths and collected a small amount of the remaining essence of Kyogre, the creator of the sea..."

A man whose face is obscured is kneeling on the ground.

A burly man named Dongtian was sitting on a stone bench.

He was pondering the glass in his hand when he heard the man's words. He replied indifferently, "Even if you're ranked among the Eight Corners Foundation, you're nothing more than a dojo-level piece of trash."

"The organization is planning to go to another place recently, namely the Water City of Odomare. It is heavily guarded and contains the only known Heart Drop."

"Here's what you do: gather a group of people, take this bottle of wish power, and lie in ambush around the Water City. The Carnival is coming soon, it's the best time to get the Heart Drops."

After listening to Dongtian's explanation, the man asked, "Lord Dongtian, how should this bottle of wish power be used?"

"It's simple. Odomare once suffered a disaster called the 'Black Tide,' and remnants of the 'Black Tide' still remain in the deep sea there. During the carnival, you will dive into the deep sea and inject your willpower into it to trigger and activate the 'Black Tide.'"

Dongtian stood up and handed the glass bottle filled with wish power to the man: "Shadow Ninja, you are ranked sixth among the Eight Cornerstones, and you are also one of my generals. This time, I will request the organization to promote the third and eighth cornerstones of the Eight Cornerstones together. Success is the only option; failure is not an option."

"But sir... why don't you go yourself? Aldor Mare only has Gym Leader level strength right now. If a Champion-level trainer like you could arrive, wouldn't you be able to seize the Heart Drop in one fell swoop?"

The Shadow Ninja had some doubts and brought them up directly.

Dongtian shook his head, his gaze fixed on the distance: "We are merely Elite Four members, while Aldormare is a legendary Pokémon, the habitat of Latios and Latias. Whether it's the neighboring Johto region or the Hoenn region, we all hope to maintain good relations with Aldormare."

"Forcibly taking away the Heart Drop would only expose the organization prematurely. Our Eternal Team is currently on the rise; we should avoid alerting them as much as possible."

"Understood."

The Shadow Ninja takes his leave.

Only Dongtian remained in place.

rustling...

In a daze, a peach floated in from the darkness.

"This amount of willpower alone is far from enough to escape Odomare."

"My lord, in your opinion, what is the best way to safely escape Odomare?"

"It's simple. Just put these sticky rice cakes inside, and you can amplify desires. Whether it's a person or a Pokémon, anything that can move has desires."

The yellow-faced, dark purple peach Pokémon cackled and produced several sticky rice cakes, placing them in Dongtian's hand: "Find an opportunity to give these sticky rice cakes to that person. This operation cannot afford any losses."

"Lord Tao, I have a question for you."

Even a powerhouse like Dongtian, a Champion-level trainer, is currently facing a dilemma.

"ask."

The peach-shaped Pokémon stood with its back turned, unusually calm.

"There is a prodigy in the Eastern Huang region who can befriend powerful figures from all sides. What should we do if we encounter him on this trip?"

One of the reasons Dongtian didn't want to go to Odomare was because of Li Luochen.

With the internet so readily available these days, it's easy to investigate publicly known information.

Among these.

Among the freshmen at Rongcheng University this year is a student from Odomare, who has a close relationship with Li Luochen.

For the people of Odomare, the carnival is almost like the Spring Festival.

Under such circumstances, that student will definitely go back.

Since she and Li Luochen have such a good relationship, she might have to go to Odomare too.

If I really run into Li Luochen.

Hehe.

"..."

The peach-shaped Pokémon also fell silent for a moment.

If it were someone else, it wouldn't think much of it.

But now Li Luochen has already made a name for himself and is at the height of his power in the league, so he cannot be harmed in the slightest.

"How do you say 'using a honey trap'?"

The peach-shaped Pokémon pondered for a moment, realizing that the "beauty trap" was the only strategy that could allow it to clear the game without taking any damage.

"But...we don't have any beauties in our organization."

The burly man was helpless.

The peach-shaped Pokémon didn't give them a friendly look.

But it turned into helplessness.

In this day and age...

Some good-looking people disdain doing such dirty and tiring work.

They were all livestreaming on Douyin (TikTok) to hook up rich guys, and some even charged a fee to get on board.

It's safer and more lucrative than this kind of work that carries the risk of imprisonment.

If you're lucky, you might be praised by a group of people, and if you suffer some grievances and play the victim, you'll get a bunch of rich guys giving you gifts.

"Alright, for now, let's focus on the 'Kuroshio' and ignore everything else for the time being."

"it is good."

……

……

Night fell, and tomorrow would be the day Wanlong had to leave.

The master bedroom of Minrong Taoist Temple.

"Brother-in-law... I'm counting on you!"
