Pokémon: Master System.

Like summer flowers in full bloom, her beauty added an extra touch of unique charm to Xiao Wanyu, who was already stunning.

"You should treat me to a meal." Xia Yu also teased Xiao Wanyu with a smile: "When I said I wouldn't hand over Darkrai to you, I felt like your eyes could tear me to pieces."

Xia Yu's words made Xiao Wanyu blush, a rare occurrence for her, as she had been extremely angry at the time.

It's infuriating that Xia Yu snatched away Darkrai, which I went through so much trouble to get my hands on. Anyone would be furious.

If the protagonist's Darkrai were to be stolen by another supporting character, the book would probably be deleted due to the backlash.

However, after seeing the powerful Dream Goddess, who was like a deity, Xiao Wanyu was able to understand Xia Yu's predicament to some extent.

Moreover, when she returned, Xiao Wanyu had thought it over carefully. Even if Xia Yu had been willing to give her Darkrai's Poké Ball, and she had gotten it, it would still have been taken away by Mewtwo.

That Darkrai was destined not to be my Pokémon.

If I gain it, I am fortunate; if I lose it, it is my fate. What is destined cannot be forced.

Therefore, Xiao Wanyu was already very content that Xia Yu had managed to ask the powerful Dream God for a Cresselia for her.

This is already the best-case scenario.

Moreover, the two are not related by blood; their only relationship is that of collaborators. Even if Xia Yu were to keep Darkrai for herself, she would have no choice but to swallow her pride and bear it.

Therefore, one must know how to be content and learn to be grateful. Don't take other people's kindness for granted.

"That's why I made a special trip to apologize and express my gratitude to you. I hope Dr. Xia can be magnanimous and not hold a grudge against a woman like me." Xiao Wanyu said with a smile, "Xia Yu, you can wander around for a bit, Lao Liu, you show Xia Yu around. I'm going to change my clothes."

After a night of fighting, Xiao Wanyu's clothes were already soaked with sweat, and in order to move around easily, she was wearing a sports jacket and sneakers, which were not suitable for a dinner occasion.

"Okay, Aunt Xiao, you go ahead with your work."

Chapter 322 Night Banquet

A belated dinner.

Xia Yu wandered around Xiao Wanyu's mansion for nearly an hour before finally waiting for Xiao Wanyu to arrive.

She went back to her room and took a shower. Her hair was still slightly damp. She put on light makeup again and changed into a pink strapless floral dress.

Compared to her usual elegant and charming attire, Xiao Wanyu's outfit today was simpler and fresher, with a touch more playfulness, making her look much younger. She transformed from a charming and sexy young woman into a vibrant young woman in her twenties.

Xiao Wanyu walked gracefully towards Xia Yu, carrying a delicate fragrance. Her unique attire caught Xia Yu's eye.

Of all the women Xia Yu had ever met, Xiao Wanyu was definitely the most beautiful.

She has the face of a young girl and the figure of a mature woman.

The skin is smooth and creamy, and the waist is slim and slender.

Even someone as picky as Xia Yu had to admit that Xiao Wanyu was perfect in every way.

Aside from having a husband, Xia Yu couldn't find any flaws.

"I'm sorry." Xiao Wanyu, who had just subdued Cresselia, was clearly in a great mood. Her clear, bright eyes were fixed on Xia Yu, and a faint smile appeared on her face. "I just took a shower and changed my clothes. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Every frown and smile is full of spring colors.

Xiao Wanyu picked up the decanter and poured red wine for Xia Yu herself, while also pouring a glass for herself.

"Thank you, Xia Yu." Xiao Wanyu picked up her wine glass and looked intently at Xia Yu. "My promise to you still stands. You can ask me for anything you want. Just tell me directly."

"We'll talk about this later." Xia Yu waved his hand. "I haven't thought about it yet."

"Call me anytime when you've made up your mind. Come and try the dinner I prepared especially for you; you must be hungry after a busy night."

As Xiao Wanyu spoke, she picked up some food from the table and placed it in Xia Yu's bowl.

Looking at the enthusiastic Xiao Wanyu, Xia Yu felt a little uncomfortable, her face flushed slightly, and she quickly waved her hand: "I can do it myself. Aunt Xiao, you don't need to worry about me, you should eat something too."

"it is good."

Xiao Wanyu smiled slightly as she looked at Xia Yu's reserved expression.

…………

The two chatted and toasted each other, and before they knew it, they had drunk three bottles of red wine.

A blush appeared on both Xiao Wanyu's and Xia Yu's faces.

"Xia Yu." Xiao Wanyu's face was flushed, but her eyes shone like starlight as she stared intently at Xia Yu, scrutinizing him carefully.

He had sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, a high nose bridge, and well-proportioned features.

Xia Yu has a refined and elegant appearance, and his whole person exudes a scholarly air.

If someone were to wear a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, they would be the epitome of a hypocrite.

It has to be said that Xia Yu is extremely handsome, at least in the eyes of women. As for whether men see him the same way, we don't know.

"Hmm?" Xia Yu responded, and seeing that Xiao Wanyu remained silent for a long time, he turned to look at her, only to meet her gaze.

Looking at Xiao Wanyu looking up at him, with her small face, red lips and white teeth, and bright eyes with a gentle smile, Xia Yu was slightly stunned.

It took them several seconds to come to their senses and quickly look away.

Xiao Wanyu realized that she had lost her composure and reached out to tidy her hair behind her ear.

What's wrong with me? I'm actually staring at a man so intently.

Xiao Wanyu unconsciously recalled the scene that happened in the Secret Realm of Dreams. Her beautiful face couldn't help but flush. Her drunkenness and shyness were mixed together, which was a beautiful sight in Xia Yu's eyes.

"Well... after I subdue Cresselia, it will probably be some time before I officially become a full member of the Divine Coffin."

Xiao Wanyu forced herself to calm down and, feigning composure, began to discuss serious matters with Xia Yu.

"Once I become a full member, I can recommend someone to join the Coffin, starting as a reserve member. At that time, you can become a reserve member of the Coffin."

"Hmm." Xia Yu asked absentmindedly, "The Divine Coffin... how much do you know about the people inside the Divine Coffin?"

“I only know three people.” Hearing Xia Yu’s question, Xiao Wanyu thought for a moment and said, “One is Shen Guan-12, codenamed Yong Dong or Han Bing. His divine beast is Articuno. You have also fought with him. I don’t know Yong Dong’s true identity. I feel that he should be a scientific researcher.”

"The other one is Divine Coffin-10, codenamed Phoenix. His divine beast is a Dark-type Moltres. Everyone knows his identity; he is the current president of the Dawn Society, Kong Yan."

"The last one is the Divine Coffin-8, codenamed Heart Steel. His divine beast is Melmetta, and his true identity is Su Chengyan."

…………

“Su Chengyan?” Xia Yu turned to look at Xiao Wanyu with a surprised expression. He remembered that Su Chengyan seemed to be Xiao Wanyu’s eighty-year-old husband.

“Yes. My husband.” When Su Sheng was mentioned, Xiao Wanyu admitted it openly without any hesitation: “However, the position of Shen Guan-8 is now vacant, and it is very likely that Su Sheng will take over Su Chengyan’s position.”

Xia Yu looked at Xiao Wanyu in confusion: "Is it vacant?"

"Yes." Xiao Wanyu nodded, her expression calm: "Su Chengyan died three days ago. It just hasn't been announced yet. His funeral is already being prepared and will be held in three days, in time for the seventh day after his death."

Su Chengyan is dead? Holy crap, Xiao Wanyu's last flaw is gone too.

Xia Yu didn't have much of an impression of Su Chengyan. He only remembered that Su Chengyan had been a champion in China before. As for his life story and contributions, he knew nothing about him.

Moreover, judging from Xiao Wanyu's appearance, she doesn't seem to be sad about Su Chengyan's death.

"Aren't you going back for the funeral?" Xia Yu asked.

"Why should I go back?" Xiao Wanyu said with a smile, "Mu Zi can go, I won't go."

"Aren't you two husband and wife?"

"Does being married mean you have to go back?" Xiao Wanyu seemed unwilling to dwell on this issue any longer, waving her hand to interrupt: "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Tell me about your situation."

"You've also obtained a Darkrai. With this Darkrai, you only need to endure a one-year probationary period to become a full member of the Coffin."

Official members of the Divine Coffin?

Xia Yu wasn't really interested in these so-called official members of the Divine Coffin. He had a system with him, and now he even had two divine beasts, Darkrai and Diancie, with huge growth potential.

To be honest, he really didn't need to get involved with the people from the Divine Coffin. He just needed to focus on developing his character, playing cautiously in the early game, and becoming invincible in the late game.

Of course, joining the Divine Coffin wasn't a bad thing either; Xia Yu naturally couldn't pass up the benefits of getting something for free.

"Yes. I'll have to trouble you then, Aunt Xiao. By the way, Aunt Xiao," Xia Yu suddenly remembered the wishing stars and asked, "How's your collection of the wishing stars you mentioned last time coming along?"

…………

Chapter 323 will not have a title.

Wishing Star is a remnant of Eternatus's body and is also the core key to Dynamax.

“It’s only been a few days. We’ve only collected a few pieces so far because we’ve been busy preparing to capture Darkrai,” Xiao Wanyu said. As they got down to business, their drunkenness dissipated considerably. “If you need them, I can give them to you first.”

"Okay, give it to me first." Xia Yu nodded. There were still two or three months before the start of university, and he planned to use this time to complete the Dynamax quest and explore the possibilities.

With a Champion-level Iron Warrior and two Elite Four-level Pokémon, Darkrai and Gallade, he already has a certain level of self-defense ability and is fully capable of starting the Dynamax quest.

"By the way, Xia Yu. Speaking of your new experiment, Xia Yu, what kind of experiment is it?" Xiao Wanyu looked at Xia Yu with curiosity.

"Keep it a secret for now." Xia Yu naturally couldn't reveal a single word about the new experiment.

“Dr. Xia.” Xiao Wanyu’s voice was soft, her face was rosy, and she had a natural charm. She said in a coquettish tone, “Tell me about it, satisfy my curiosity.”

"Success comes from secrecy, failure from leaks." Xia Yu looked at Xiao Wanyu and said seriously, "Unless you are absolutely certain, you should be careful with your words and actions, and the fewer people who know, the better."

"It seems Dr. Xia still doesn't believe me." Seeing Xia Yu's serious expression, Xiao Wanyu stopped pressing the issue and picked up her wine glass with a mournful look on her face: "Alright then, but Dr. Xia, if you get any experimental results, remember to tell me as soon as possible."
