Xiaozhi: All the companion elves return

As Xitron was walking through the bustling market, his eyes were attracted by some strange props on a stall and he stopped involuntarily.

He observed the props carefully, with curiosity gleaming in his eyes.

"This item is quite interesting, the Water Scroll. Boss, what is the use of this scroll?"

Hitron's eyes were fixed on a hanging scroll with exquisite water ripple patterns painted on it. Although he didn't know what the specific function of the hanging scroll was, the appearance alone was enough to arouse his strong interest.

The boss is an energetic old man, and his eyes reveal a wisdom that comes from having experienced many vicissitudes of life.

Seeing that Hitlon showed great interest in the scroll, he smiled and explained:

"This scroll contains a mysterious move and a very powerful water secret."

"Is it really so magical?" Hitlon's heart was full of doubts, but his eyes still revealed his curiosity about the scroll.

Hitlon usually likes research and invention, and is very proficient in mechanical knowledge, but he also has a strong interest in this kind of prop that is claimed to have mysterious power.

At least we can study the contents of the props. If we can figure out the principles behind them, it will be a very meaningful thing.

Just then, Yurika came skipping over.

She saw Xitron stopping in front of the stall and came over curiously.

When she heard the boss' introduction, she felt a little wary.

She didn't want to end up like the Pokémon Egg that Xiaozhi bought before, where there were obviously a lot of Pokémon Eggs but the stall owner only put one out and then pretended that it was rare in order to raise the price.

So Yurika said to the boss, "Grandpa, how many of these hanging scrolls do you have?"

The old man looked at the cute little girl in front of him, smiled and said, "There is another one, but that one is not the Water Scroll, but the Evil Scroll. It contains the powerful secret of evil."

When Yurika heard the words "Scroll of Evil", she hid behind Citron involuntarily and said timidly:

"Brother, we don't want the mystery of evil."

Xitron smiled and nodded. He had no interest in the scroll of evil. He then turned his attention back to the scroll of water and asked, "Okay, boss, how much is the scroll of water?"

The boss smiled professionally, held up two fingers, and said slowly, "Water Scroll, 20."

When Xitron heard the price, his eyes widened and he couldn't believe his ears:

"So expensive?" His voice was full of surprise, "Boss, this hanging scroll of yours costs 20 yuan, you might as well go and rob it."

The boss stroked his not-so-long beard, the smile on his face not changing at all, he said slowly:

"Hey, young man, what you said is wrong. How can it be snatched so quickly? No, I mean the goods are genuine and the price is fair."

The boss's words made Hitron even more speechless. He didn't expect the boss to say something that seemed like a joke.

At this time, Xiaozhi, Xiaomao and Serena also came over and looked at the two hanging scrolls on the stall.

When they heard the price offered by the boss, Xiaozhi and Serena silently took a step back.

20 is not a small amount of money for them. A hanging scroll costs 20. This price is too outrageous and simply unacceptable.

Xiaozhi frowned and said, "This price is too exaggerated, boss, are you kidding?"

The boss shook his head and said seriously: "I am not kidding. The value of this hanging scroll is beyond your imagination."

Salina couldn't help but say, "But 20 is too expensive. We can't afford it at all."

"Pica~"

Pikachu also seemed to be expressing his dissatisfaction with the price.

Citron looked at his boss and tried to convince him to lower the price:

"Boss, this hanging scroll looks good, but the price of 20 is too high. Can you make it cheaper?"

The boss still shook his head firmly: "No, this is already the lowest price. The mysterious power of this hanging scroll is immeasurable. 20 is already very cheap."

"And this is the lowest price at the auction. If someone offers a higher price, we will still sell it to them."

Xitron sighed helplessly. He knew that with their current financial situation, it was impossible for them to spend 20 to buy a hanging scroll. Although he was very interested in this hanging scroll, he had no choice but to give up.

Yurika grabbed Xitron's hand without hesitation and dragged him towards other stalls.

"That's too expensive, we won't buy it." Yurika's tone was full of determination.

Looking at Yurika who pulled him away, Hitlon couldn't help feeling relieved in his heart, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

Xiaozhi stood there and looked at the old man with complicated eyes.

The old man also looked at Xiaozhi with a smile, and there seemed to be a hint of expectation in his eyes.

However, Xiaozhi sighed, finally shook his head, and turned away.

20 is too expensive for him. It is not worth buying a hanging scroll whose authenticity he does not know.

Serena, Qiyu, Shuilian and Liliae also expressed that they had no intention of buying the scroll. They left the stall one after another and walked to other places.

Kachi just looked at the stall for a few seconds and then left.

If it was a scroll of fire, he might be interested in it, but unfortunately one was a scroll of water and the other was a scroll of evil, neither of which appealed to him at all.

The boss watched them leave and had no intention of keeping them.

He knew very well that although these little guys were interested in the hanging scroll, the price was too high and they could not accept it at the moment.

But this auction market is so big, they will come back after a while.

So, he was not in a hurry and waited quietly for the opportunity.

Xiao Mao walked up to Xiao Zhi and said, "Xiao Zhi, if you want those two scrolls, I can buy them for you."

Xiao Mao's tone was relaxed, as if buying the two hanging scrolls was as simple and casual as buying two pancakes in the market.

Xiaozhi shook his head. "Forget it. Those two scrolls may not be real. If they are fake and they cheated us out of 20, we will have no place to complain."

Xiaozhi didn't want Xiaomao to spend money on him, especially when he still had doubts about the authenticity of the item.

Xiao Mao spread his hands to show his understanding.

Everything depends on Xiaozhi's idea. If Xiaozhi wants it, he will buy it for Xiaozhi without hesitation; if Xiaozhi doesn't want it, he won't force him to buy it.

Yurika and Citron continued to look for other interesting things in the market.

They soon found a stall selling toys. Yurika was immediately attracted by the dazzling array of toys on the stall and was reluctant to leave.

Her eyes sparkled with excitement, and her heart was filled with desire as she looked at those cute toys.

"Do you want these toys?" Hitlon patiently stayed by Yurika's side, watching her carefully select toys.

Yurika nodded and reached out to take two Pokémon dolls.

These two dolls are in the shape of two little mice and look very cute.

Serena also came over at this time, and seeing the doll in Yurika's hand, she smiled and said, "This is a pair of mice, so cute."

Yurika held the two little mice and looked at Xitron with joy: "Brother, I want these two."

Hitlon listened to his sister's request and looked at the shop owner with a smile.

The boss is a very cute little girl with a warm smile on her face.

"Boss, how much are these two little mouse dolls?" Hitlon asked politely.

The girl smiled and was about to answer when she saw Xiaozhi, Xiaomao and the others walking over.

"Xitron, Serena, what are you buying?" Xiaozhi asked curiously.

Serena squatted down, touched a little mouse in Yurika's hand, and then said, "Yurika wants to buy a pair of little mouse dolls."

Xiaozhi looked at the two little dolls and thought they were indeed very cute.

"What a cute pair of mice. Yurika has good taste." Xiaozhi praised.

"Really? Hehe, Xiaozhi, do you want to buy one too?" Yurika asked with a smile.

Xiaozhi nodded and looked towards the stall, only to see many, many dolls on the stall, with all kinds of Pokémon images.

"Then I want a Sylveon doll." Xiaozhi took a Sylveon doll and said to the stall owner, "Hello, how much dolls cost?"

The little girl looked at them with joy in her eyes. She didn't speak immediately. After carefully observing Xiaozhi and the Pikachu on Xiaozhi's shoulder, she spoke in surprise:

"Excuse me, are you Ash? The Ash from the World Pokémon Championships?"

Xiaozhi looked at the girl, then smiled and said, "If you're talking about Xiaozhi who's participating in the competition, then that would be me."

"Pika~" Pikachu called out on Xiaozhi's shoulder, then looked at the girl as well, as if to indicate that this Xiaozhi was a certified Pikachu.

The girl's face was filled with an excited smile, and she said happily: "Hello, Xiaozhi, I like you very much."

Her voice trembled slightly with excitement, and her eyes were full of admiration for Xiaozhi.

At this moment, she was extremely excited. She didn't expect to actually meet her idol in this place. It felt like a dream.

When Serena heard the girl's words, she couldn't help but frown, and a strange feeling arose in her heart.

She looked at the girl, who was about the same age as Xiaozhi and was a fan of Xiaozhi. The girl directly said that she liked Xiaozhi.

This made Serena instinctively alert, and a dangerous signal quietly rose in her heart.

With a proper smile, Serena took two steps forward, trying to break the somewhat delicate atmosphere.

She said, "Girl stall owner, you haven't told me how much the doll is?" Her words seemed normal, but in fact they were reminding the girl to return to the reality of the transaction, while also diverting everyone's attention away from the girl's admiration for Xiaozhi.

The girl's eyes seemed to be glued to Xiaozhi and never left him.

She answered absentmindedly, "The doll that Xiaozhi bought is of course free." Her tone was full of love for Xiaozhi.

"Xiaozhi, do you like any of the dolls here? You can take them all, and your friends can take them too. It's free." The girl continued enthusiastically.

She even forgot that she was setting up a stall to buy things.

Xiaozhi looked at his friends with a smile in his eyes. It was of course a very happy thing to have someone like him, but he would not take the girl's doll for nothing.

It is not good to take other people's things for free, as it will also cause losses to others.

Xiaozhi was about to refuse the girl's kindness when a middle-aged man's voice rang out.
