I just want to give the elves a home. What's wrong with that?

"Ah."

Li Ran replied with a smile, then looked around.

The buildings are not much different from those in the cities I have seen before, but the locals have lived here for a long time and are somewhat tanned. Shops selling cactus pulp can be seen everywhere.

"By the way, Li Ran, this should be your first time here in Xihuang, right? Do you want me to take you around here?"

"Okay, I'll trouble you, Brother Lin."

Li Ran glanced at the sky. It was now dusk and he had just had a good sleep.

After visiting several places, Lin Shuangjun introduced the local food specialties to Li Ran. When they arrived at a museum, Lin Shuangjun raised his eyebrows mysteriously and said.

"There is a 20,000-year-old meteorite here. Do you want to go in and take a look?"

"Forget it. People like me can't appreciate these."

Li Ran shrugged. For those who don’t understand, meteorites or not, they are all stones.

When you come to a castle in the shape of a cactus.

The expression on Lin Shuangjun's face suddenly paused.

"Right, let's go look somewhere else."

"This should be the Tsar Gym, right?"

Li Ran looked at the introduction on the map and recognized the building in front of him. Sachi looked at the figure slowly approaching not far away and couldn't help but smile.

"That's right, but we are here too late today, let's go somewhere else first..."

"Master!"

When the female voice appeared, Lin Shuangjun's expression changed again, as if he was ready to die.

"The owner?"

Li Ran muttered something, then looked at Lin Shuangjun suspiciously.

The visitor was Lin Shuangjun's secretary Xiaoke.

"Master! What have you been doing for so long?!"

Xiaoke's voice became noticeably higher in pitch, and Li Ran could still hear a hint of anger in it.

Lin Shuangjun sighed helplessly, then turned away with a smile.

"Xiao Ke, listen to my excuses... No, listen to my explanation."

After hearing this, Li Ran finally understood that Lin Shuangjun was the rude owner he had been calling along the way.

After hearing the whole story, Xiaoke was skeptical. After receiving Lin Shuangjun's look for help, Li Ran and Sachi had no choice but to nod.

"Xiao Ke, I'm glad you understand. I'll continue to take Brother Li Ran for a walk."

Before he could finish his words, Lin Shuangjun felt a hand firmly grasping his shoulder, the force of which was no less than the claws of a brave eagle.

"But Gym Master... According to what you said, you should be able to come back early in the morning, right? Do you know how many trainers are waiting for you?"

Xiaoke showed a sweet smile, but in Lin Shuangjun's eyes, he could feel a murderous intent.

"I... that's right! I just want to take a vacation. Li Ran, Sachi, let's get out of here!"

Lin Shuangjun turned around and ran without even thinking about taking Li Ran and Sachi with him.

"Hey! Gym Master!"

Xiao Ke didn't react at all and yelled.

"..."

Li Ran looked at Lin Shuangjun who had completely disappeared and was speechless.

Brother, if you want to run away, at least take us with you. Didn’t you say you would take me for a walk?

Xiao Ke sighed and Saki pulled her arm.

"Sister Xiaoke, don't worry, my brother will definitely come back tomorrow."

"You're already 26, but you're still like a kid."

Xiaoke smiled helplessly at Sachi, then looked at Li Ran.

"Since the owner has left, let me show you around here."

Li Ran quickly shook his head and refused this matter. What a joke! The interaction between you and Lin Shuangjun doesn't seem like you are unrelated. I hope Lin Shuangjun won't want to stab me in the future.

"No need, Xiaoke. I'm a little tired from walking around. Can you see if there's a good hotel nearby? I'll find a place to put my luggage first."

Hearing this, Xiao Ke did not refute and directly took him to a hotel near the gym. Because of the trainer challenge, the hotels near the gym are relatively more affordable and comfortable.

After checking in, Sachi snatched the room card.

"Sister Xiaoke, just go back. I'll take him upstairs. I'm familiar with this place!"

Sachi's action made Xiaoke look slightly shocked. This was the first time she saw Sachi being so nice to an outsider other than Lin Shuangjun.

"Okay then. I just need to go to the gym and make a list of challenges for tomorrow."

Li Ran spoke only after entering the elevator.

"Why are you going to my room?"

Sachi smiled and waved the room card between her index and middle fingers.

"I'm your master, so I have to help you carry your luggage."

Li Ran looked at the things in his hands and the backpack behind him, and his cheeks twitched slightly.

Apart from the room card, what the hell did you help carry the luggage for?

"You want to eat for free, right?"

Every room in the hotel here is equipped with a simple kitchen. After being ruthlessly exposed by Li Ran, Sachi's blush disappeared from her face.

"So what? I can't cook, so it's reasonable for me to eat my apprentice's food."

Wow! How can you speak so confidently about something so embarrassing?

Li Ran was deeply shocked, but the teacher of the Armored Rhino Sachi did not ask him for tuition, so he just let him eat for free.

"Okay, I'm going to take a shower. You can go home now. I'll call you when it's time for dinner."

Seeing that Sachi was still lying on the sofa, Li Ran couldn't help but speak. After hearing what Li Ran said, Sachi reluctantly got down from the sofa and walked out of the room under Kirlia's gaze.

Seeing her leave, Kirlia used her telekinesis to click the door.

It's locked.

"I'll get you some water later so you can take a dip."

Li Ran came out in less than twenty minutes, wiping his hair with a dry towel, and said to Kirlia and a few other clean-loving elves.

......

Tsar Gym.

"Xiao Ke..."

Lin Shuangjun's voice sounded from somewhere, but Xiaoke continued to look through the information and had no intention of paying any attention to it.

At this moment, he was being held tightly by the collar by a Gengar with one hand, and was frightened by Gengar's funny faces from time to time.

This Gengar was exactly Xiaoke's Pokémon. The moment Lin Shuangjun escaped, Gengar chased out from behind Xiaoke's shadow and captured Lin Shuangjun.

This is exactly what Lin Shuangjun likes about Xiaoke. Xiaoke has the ability to communicate with the underworld. This Gengar was also brought back from the underworld by her, and its strength has reached the peak of a high-level lord.

"I told you not to do your job. Stay for another half an hour and take a look at this information."

Xiao Ke angrily threw a stack of information into Lin Shuangjun's arms. Lin Shuangjun took it and glanced at it. It was information about Li Ran and his elf.

the other side.

After Li Ran and Sachi finished their meal, they were dragged by each other to play the game of drawing joker cards.

At this moment, he had lost five games in a row, and his face was covered with notes stuck by Sachi.

"I say, there are only two of us, why do we have to play the joker card game?"
