Pokémon: Master System.

Looking at Xiao Wanyu's expression, Xia Yu showed no fear or timidity whatsoever. Holding the Iron Warrior, a powerful weapon, he was confident that he could easily save his life from Xiao Wanyu's clutches.

"If we can't reach an agreement, we can only refuse. The Four Heavenly Kings can't force a sale, can they?"

"Was it that Pokémon that resembled a combination of Gallade and Gardevoir that gave you enough confidence?"

Xia Yu was shocked when he heard Xiao Wanyu's words!

How exactly did Xiao Wanyu know about the existence of the Iron Warriors?

Unless, she knows that Articuno trainer who wears the crying mask!

Xia Yu was deeply shocked. After half a year, he finally heard news of the Divine Coffin again.

Just then, Xiao Wanyu's serious expression suddenly vanished, replaced by a bright and charming smile: "Don't be nervous. Are you curious how I know all this information? There are some people in the coffin who are very interested in you and want you dead."

“I need to offer something decent in exchange for that treasure.” Xiao Wanyu said, then stood up, leaving Xia Yu with a stunningly beautiful back view. “This message is my way of showing my sincerity in cooperating. It’s not convenient to talk to you here today, but contact me when you have time.”

Chapter 309 Appointment

The exposure of the Iron Warrior has left Xia Yu feeling uneasy for the past few days.

Therefore, after two days of silence, Xia Yu took the initiative to call Xiao Wanyu and arranged to meet her.

Because it was a private meeting, and also for the sake of confidentiality and security, Xia Yu and Xiao Wanyu arranged to meet in the most bustling downtown area of ​​the capital.

…………

"Xia Yu." Xiao Wanyu smiled. Xia Yu's initiative to contact her made her happy, and her eyes curved like the moon. "Please sit down. The afternoon tea at this restaurant is very good. I often invite the chef from this restaurant to my house to make afternoon tea."

Xia Yu's expression darkened slightly as he looked at Xiao Wanyu across from him with an unfriendly expression. Even though Xiao Wanyu was as sexy and beautiful as ever, in Xia Yu's eyes, she was as terrifying as a femme fatale, and his eyes were filled with wariness.

He had to be constantly on guard against a woman like Xiao Wanyu, who was full of palace intrigue skills and as cunning as a fox, otherwise he wouldn't even know if she had sold him out.

"Come and try some desserts made by Frost Fairy." Xiao Wanyu looked at Xia Yu's sour face, but didn't really care.

Men, as long as they don't turn on you, you can just coax them if they get angry. She handed a dessert from the table to Xia Yu.

"Thanks. I don't have an appetite right now, let's get down to business," Xia Yu declined.

"We've already waited two days, so there's no rush. Even if you're unhappy with me, don't go over there with these desserts."

"The ultimate goal of life is health and happiness." Xiao Wanyu leaned back on the lounge chair, crossed her legs, picked up the exquisite dessert, and took a small bite: "We work so hard to earn money and improve our abilities, but the ultimate goal is just to make life better and better."

"Getting angry like this only hurts your own health, it doesn't affect me at all. So don't be so boring, keep a dark face and have some dessert."

"Frozen Fairy's desserts can calm the mind and soothe anger, which is perfect for you."

Xiao Wanyu's voice was soft and charming, each word soothing Xia Yu. She then stood up and handed Xia Yu the dessert.

Today, she was wearing a deep blue traditional Chinese cheongsam that perfectly showcased her figure. Even though Xia Yu considered himself to have great self-control, he was still unconsciously attracted to her.

Xiao Wanyu is truly a very charming and elegant woman. Time has not left any marks on her face; on the contrary, it has made her grow younger with age.

It possesses both the playfulness and cuteness of a young woman and the charm and sexiness of a mature woman.

Meeting Xiao Wanyu's gaze, Xia Yu felt slightly nervous, as Xiao Wanyu seemed to be about to pick up a spoon and feed him.

Xia Yu quickly took the dessert and took a small bite.

"How is it?" Xiao Wanyu looked at Xia Yu with bright eyes and asked with a smile, "The taste is not bad, right? This shop's desserts are among the best in the entire capital. The owner of this shop also has a Cream Fairy with near-Heavenly King level strength. With its help, the desserts made are naturally excellent."

"It's alright. It's just that I don't really like desserts." Facing a shrew like Xiao Wanyu, Xia Yu could only try his best to remain calm: "My life is already sweet enough, I don't need any more desserts. But I could have some bitter tea, it's true that a sweet life needs some bitterness."

"Really? Xia Yu, it seems you mean I didn't entertain you well this time. Next time, let's find a place to have tea, I guarantee you'll be satisfied," Xiao Wanyu said with a smile.

…………

The two enjoyed afternoon tea while chatting like old friends. They talked about everything from astronomy and geography to Pokémon training and tactical combinations.

Before Xia Yu knew it, all the desserts on the table had ended up in Xiao Wanyu's stomach.

Xia Yu finally understood why Xiao Wanyu had such a voluptuous and perfect figure.

And so, the two finished their afternoon tea, and it was already past four o'clock before they began to steer the conversation toward serious business.

"Xia Yu." Xiao Wanyu took out a white handkerchief and gently wiped the corner of her mouth, looking at Xia Yu: "How have you decided? As long as you agree to lend me the treasure, you can name your terms."

"Answer me first, what are you going to do with that treasure?" Getting back to the point, Xia Yu looked at Xiao Wanyu warily.

"Xia Yu, your guarded attitude is really hurting me." Xiao Wanyu's face showed disappointment and resentment: "We are now close partners, how can you not trust me? I assure you that I will never do anything to harm you."

Xiao Wanyu's tearful expression seemed to melt one's heart.

Looking at Xiao Wanyu in this state, Xia Yu could only silently repeat it three times in his heart.

My heart is as strong as iron and indestructible!

My heart is as strong as iron and indestructible!

My heart...

Xiao Tianwang is so handsome.

Bah! My heart is as hard as iron, unbreakable!

Seemingly seeing that Xia Yu had no reaction, Xiao Wanyu composed herself and said seriously, "Alright. I won't tease you anymore. Let's talk about serious matters."

“Hoopa’s Judgment Jar is very important to me.” Xiao Wanyu looked at Xia Yu with a serious expression: “If you agree to lend it to me, I will tell you everything you want to know.”

"Tell me first," Xia Yu said, not believing a single word Xiao Wanyu said.

Promises are the most ethereal things. When he was using a secondary account to browse Douyin, he made a promise to every pretty girl that she was his favorite blogger.

However, when he came across a new beautiful woman, he had long forgotten his previous promise.

“Xia Yu, there’s really no point in this.” Xiao Wanyu sighed. “You don’t trust me, and I don’t trust you. If this continues, we’ll never reach an agreement.”

Xiao Wanyu looked at Xia Yu. The young man in front of her showed a cunning and vigilance far beyond what one should expect for his age, which made her feel a sense of powerlessness.

“Alright then. Let me tell you some information about the Divine Coffin that you’re most interested in first.” Xiao Wanyu knew that Xia Yu was a foxy person, so she parted her red lips slightly and said with a serious expression, “The Divine Coffin Organization is a neutral organization with little binding force, and I don’t know who founded it.”

"Among the official members of the Divine Coffin Organization, apart from the person who introduced them, none of them know each other."

“Every month, the Divine Coffin Organization holds a regular online meeting, where they can exchange intelligence, buy and sell treasures, and issue missions.”

"The identity of each member of the Divine Coffin is very mysterious. They wear masks to hide their identities when they hold meetings. Each member of the Divine Coffin also has a different code name depending on the divine beast they use."

"The last time it attacked you was the Divine Coffin-12, codenamed Ice, Permafrost, and so on."

"Based on our last contact, the organization 'Divine Coffin' has already started to take notice of you."

Xia Yu was listening intently when suddenly Xiao Wanyu's voice stopped abruptly. She gracefully picked up the cup on the table, took a small sip, and revealed a meaningful smile on her face.

Her meaning was self-evident; she had already shown enough sincerity, and now it was Xia Yu's turn to express his.

…………

Chapter 310 The Secrets of the Divine Coffin

The Divine Coffin.

Xia Yu frowned. He had just gotten into the story when Xiao Wanyu abruptly stopped, leaving him feeling uneasy, as if a cat was scratching at his heart.

It was especially annoying that Xiao Wanyu would stop talking at the most crucial moment.

It's like when you're reading a novel and the author always gets writer's block at the most crucial moment, which is really disgusting.

Of course, if I were the author, then disregard what I said.

Dear reader, you don't want to experience writer's block while reading, right? Just honestly urge for more updates and give a five-star review.

…………

The two sat facing each other without saying a word, like fishermen testing each other's patience.

After a long while, Xia Yu finally couldn't help but speak first: "I can lend you the Judgment Jar, but I need to know what you're going to use it for?"

For Xia Yu, the Punishment Bottle has only one use: to accelerate the growth of Ghost-type Pokémon. Currently, it's only effective against Dragapult and Haunter, two Ghost-type Pokémon.

As for the remaining 100% core Dark-type energy in the Punishment Pot, Xia Yu hasn't caught any Dark-type Pokémon yet, so it hasn't been put to use.

So it's not impossible to lend the Punishment Pot to Xiao Wanyu, provided that we know what she'll use it for.

If Xia Yu were to lend the energy to Xiao Wanyu, and she were to exhaust all of it and replace it with an empty shell, wouldn't he be devastated?

As Xiao Wanyu listened to Xia Yu's words, her brows furrowed slightly, and a thoughtful expression appeared on her face.

Just as Xia Yu didn't trust her, she didn't trust Xia Yu either.

Ultimately, it was the mutual suspicion and distrust between the two that was at play. Both of them were extremely paranoid and found it difficult to trust anyone other than themselves.

“I need it to catch a Pokémon.” Xiao Wanyu carefully considered her words, but finally decided to let slip a hint, saying, “If I successfully catch it, I will return the Punishment Bottle intact. It may consume some energy, but the amount will not be too large.”

Catching Pokémon?

Xia Yu's heart stirred, and he pondered in his mind what kind of Pokémon could make a Four Elite Four member like Xiao Wanyu so eager to beg him.

Pseudo-legendary Pokémon? Or a legendary Pokémon?

The thought of mythical beasts made Xia Yu's heart warm, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

Given Xiao Wanyu's wealth, power, and status, it's impossible for an ordinary pseudo-legendary Pokémon to make her beg like this.
