Elf: Starts with small diamonds, then mutates into Diancie.

Su Hao knew that Queen Diancie was praising Diancie, and said with a smile, "I'm also planning to stay in the Mineral Kingdom for a while."

Ms. Tianxi chuckled and said, "Lord Su Hao, you can come to the castle to find me anytime if you need anything."

Su Hao nodded, and together with A-Yi, bid farewell to Queen Tianxi and headed to her home.

After Su Hao left, Queen Tianxi stared at the tightly closed castle gates for a long time before finally turning her gaze away. Through the closed dome, she seemed to see the sacred diamonds floating above the mineral kingdom.

Queen Diancie was in low spirits. She sighed and murmured, "My kin, the road ahead is too long to travel alone. I hope the Holy Diamond contains knowledge that can help you."

Chapter 724 Rest

On the seventh day, Diancie entered the sacred diamond to receive the inheritance.

Captain A-Yi of the Little Diamond Guard led Su Hao to the front of its house—

It was a very distinctive stone hut, about 2.2 to 2.3 meters high and only 3 to 4 meters wide.

To be honest, it's very small.

Compared to the relatively vast land of the mineral-rich nation, it really is just a slightly larger rock.

As if sensing Su Hao's confusion, A-Yi smiled and explained, "This size is just right for us; it's neither too cramped to move around in, nor too spacious to make us uneasy."

“We prefer spaces that provide a sense of security.”

Su Hao nodded thoughtfully. Indeed, in his opinion, the space was small, but it was just right for the little diamonds.

However, the first problem has also arisen.

That is—not being able to get in the door.

Looking at the tiny door in front of him, which was a size larger than A Yi, Su Hao was unusually troubled.

Ah-yi also noticed the problem and was quite embarrassed.

Q: What should I do if I have important guests at home, but my front door is not even half the size of theirs?

And at that moment, Xiao Qi's loud and boisterous voice could be heard coming from inside the house.

"Brother A-Yi, you're finally back! Has that old man, the Diamond Minister, still not lifted my confinement order?"

"Hey, is there someone else with you? Wow! Isn't this Su Hao? Come in and play with Xiao Qi!"

"Marshado isn't here, is it? No, please don't let it appear before my eyes!"

Ah Yi was even more embarrassed.

Su Hao: "......."

After a few awkward laughs, Su Hao looked around. As the captain of the Little Diamond Guard Team, A-Yi's residence was actually quite nice, like a villa area.

This is the outskirts of the Mineral Kingdom. The terrain is vast, and it's hard to see exactly where the edge of the secret realm extends. Not far from A-Yi's residence is a dense forest.

Upon discovering the forest, an idea popped into Su Hao's mind.

It's still unknown how long it will take for Diancie to complete her inheritance. Perhaps... we could use the timber resources in that forest to build a small cabin and temporarily become neighbors with A-Yi and the others for a while.

However, before that...

Su Hao pinched eight shrunken Poké Balls between his fingers and threw them at the same time: "Everyone, it's time to get to work!"

............................

Under Su Hao's direction, each Pokémon worked together to build a wooden house belonging to Su Hao and them.

The Forest Team is led by two Pokémon with immense strength, Motostoke and Metagross. Their job is to uproot suitable trees using their strength.

The sound of the huge tree crashing down could be heard clearly even from A-Yi's hut. Many of the little diamonds even came over out of curiosity to see what Su Hao and the others were doing.

Motor Lizard was initially reluctant to work, but under the lure of Su Hao's delicious food, he instantly broke down and worked harder than anyone else.

boom! !

Motorola punched through the thick trunk that several people could hug, and as leaves fell, Motorola calmly tossed it to Lucario, who had been waiting nearby.

Lucario, who had gradually gotten used to the strength of the Motorola, nodded slightly, activated Teleport, and quickly teleported towards its destination.

On the other side, Metagross also used its superhuman strength to tear off the tree trunk, and then used its telekinesis to lift the trunk and hand it over to the Green Warrior Eagle waiting in the air, transporting it by air.

The transported tree trunks will undergo more meticulous processing by Milotic and Yeezy, who are waiting on the other side.

Yeev used its sharp sword energy to peel away the bark and cut the wood to the appropriate size. Milotic then controlled the water flow to wash away the dust and dirt from the wood.

Finally, the clean wood came into the hands of Su Hao, Blazing Roar Tiger, and Zeraora. Using the two cats' sharp claws, they did some detailing and began building.

With everyone working together, the spacious wooden house, big enough for Su Hao and his Pokémon to fit in, was completed in just one day.

The cabin was large enough that even with seven Pokémon and Su Hao inside, it wouldn't feel crowded.

It was crowded, so Su Hao specially built a terrace for the Emerald Warrior Eagle, which was a size larger than everyone else, so that it could fold its wings and stay on it.

A-Yi, who was invited by Su Hao to visit, stood in front of the wooden house and exclaimed in amazement: "You guys are amazing! You built such a big house in just one day!"

"It wasn't just my achievement. It was thanks to everyone's efforts that the Motoskeleton and Metagross who chopped down the tree, Lucario and Eaglelus who carried the load, Milotic and Yeevee who did the initial processing, and Incineroar and Zeraora who helped me complete the construction."

Su Hao turned his gaze to the Pokémon in the room, his voice gentle, expressing his gratitude for meeting these companions.

A-Yi nodded as if she understood, and was about to say something when Su Hao suddenly said, "By the way, aren't you letting Xiao Qi into the house?"

Xiao Qi is clearly outside the door, so why doesn't A Yi bring it inside since A Yi brought it over?

Xiao Qi, who had sneaked out to eavesdrop outside the door, froze, followed by A Yi's angry roar, which transformed from a dazed expression.

"Xiao Qi!!!"

Caught red-handed, Xiao Qi stubbornly retorted under A Yi's angry glare, "Anyway, the old Diamond Minister is too old and has difficulty walking. How would he know if I sneaked out?"

Enraged, A-Yi said sternly, "Rules are rules. If you continue to be so lax..."

Seeing that Ah Yi was about to launch into another long lecture, Xiao Qi stuck out her tongue, made a face, and said, "I'm not listening, I can't hear you!"

As if to escape Ah Yi's lecture, Xiao Qi quickly returned to the stone hut, leaving Ah Yi, who was red-faced from anger at his unreliable sister, sulking there.

Having watched the show unfold, Su Hao smiled and patted A Yi on the shoulder: "A Yi, can I ask you for a favor?"

Aben wanted to apologize to Su Hao for his sister being too unruly, but unexpectedly Su Hao suddenly asked him for help.

A-Yi immediately stood up straight, head held high and chest puffed out, and said, "Her Majesty the Queen said that I would be happy to help fulfill any request made by Lord Su Hao!"

Su Hao patted its head helplessly: "Just call me Su Hao, adding 'adult' feels a bit strange. But before that, everyone's been busy all day and is tired, so I'm planning to make something nice to reward them. What do you usually eat?"

“Ore, and some gems…” A-Yi replied blankly.

Su Hao nodded knowingly: "Okay, then you can just wait for the feast. I'll personally cook tonight!"

------------

Chapter 725 Left Zero, Right Fire, Thunder God Helps Me

As night fell, although Su Hao was curious about the day-night system in the Mineral Kingdom, he didn't forget his business.

Amidst the drooling expressions of the Pokémon, Su Hao pulled out his expensive outdoor cooking kit from his system space and laid it out on the grass in front of the cabin.

Cooking inside a wooden cabin is prone to starting a fire, so it's safer to cook outside.

Su Hao first approached the Incineroar, Motosaurus, Zeraora, and Lucario, who were wearing aprons, masks, and gloves. They were skewering the meat and vegetables that Su Hao had marinated.

Tonight's main dish is barbecue. There are quite a few Pokémon with big appetites in the group. Their appetites are huge, so the workload of skewer vendors has naturally increased.

Lucario and Zeraora were the least troublesome for Su Hao. If they were at school, they would be obedient and well-behaved top students, requiring no attention at all.

The Motor Lizard is like that student who says one thing but does another; although it looks unwilling, it is willing to sell some labor for a good meal.

As for the Blazing Roaring Tiger...

Su Hao moved very quietly, and even used waveguide to cover up the sound of his footsteps. The fiery roaring tiger, which was peeking around and trying to sneak around, didn't notice Su Hao's arrival at all.

Basically, Zeraora and Lucario skewered five pieces of barbecue, while Incineroar, who was more cunning than anyone else, only dawdled around and skewered one piece. Its sneaky behavior clearly showed that it knew it was slacking off.

Su Hao couldn't resist and gave it a sharp rap on the head, making it crouch down and cover its head in defense.

"Crack!"

The Blazing Roaring Tiger grimaced in pain, looking at Su Hao with resentful eyes as if he were a heartless man.

"What are you yelling about? I'm telling you, don't slack off here. I can see everything clearly. As a senior member of the group, it's one thing to not set a good example, but you're also trying to be clever?"

The moment the Fiery Roaring Tiger stuck out its rear end, Su Hao knew whether it was trying to provoke him or commit a crime. This guy looked simple-minded, but he was more cunning than anyone else. It seemed like he had hurt it, but in reality, the tiger was just pretending to gain sympathy. Su Hao knew exactly how much force he had used.

Lucario and Motorola glanced at them but made no move.

On the contrary, the naive Zeraora, seeing this scene, hesitated and decided to stand up and plead for Incineroar. After all, Incineroar had been training with it in the intertwined power, and if all else failed, it could just do more of the intertwining itself.

Simultaneously, Zeraora and Lucario restrained the restless Zeraora.

This child is too naive; he doesn't know the true nature of the Blazing Roaring Tiger.

"You usually eat the most. The Emerald Warrior Eagle is designed for its size, but you eat twice as much as it! If you don't work hard, your dinner will be halved tonight!"

Leaving those words behind, Su Hao turned and walked away without looking back, leaving behind the Blazing Roaring Tiger, who looked as if the sky had fallen, silently grieving.
