Old ginger is spicier

Chapter 59 Old ginger is spicier

It's a mess.

Xia Mu felt somewhat exhausted for a while.

The information obtained in a short period of time has far-reaching implications.

He's not stupid; this clearly reveals a strong sense of conspiracy.

Even though I know my parents wouldn't harm me and would only think of my best interests, I still feel a little uncomfortable.

Indeed, this is a good thing for him. He does have feelings for Sonia, and her looks and figure are absolutely perfect.

However, for two people to get along, appearance alone is not enough; there are too many factors to consider.

They need to share the same values, similar thoughts, and common topics.

This is the initial requirement; what follows is a test of personality, habits, and even all aspects of life...

If even conversations are full of targeting and purpose, and if they can't even appreciate each other, then even if two people come together with the help of external forces, they will not be happy.

However, Xia Mu is certain of one thing: Sonia definitely doesn't have a boyfriend right now.

Although she and Dante were childhood sweethearts, they never developed a romantic relationship, neither in the game world nor in the real world.

At least that's how it is for now. Even if they do end up together in the future, it will be several years from now.

Otherwise, Mulan wouldn't have brought Sonia, much less allowed Xia Mu to approach her granddaughter with ulterior motives.

It has to be said, experience truly matters.

Mulan laid things out directly in front of him, leaving Xia Mu to decide how to choose and how to get along with him.

Of course, there's also Sonia's option.

At this moment, Sonia was clearly very unhappy that she had been tricked.

So after learning the inside story, she began to look at Xia Mu with a targeted gaze.

Xia Mu felt a chill run down his spine from being stared at, and for a moment he didn't know how to react.

The key point is that he is also a victim.

"Would you believe me if I said I knew absolutely nothing about this?"

"Do you think I'd believe that?" Sonia rolled her eyes, clearly not very convinced.

Although she was unhappy, she didn't really dislike Xia Mu.

He is at least handsome and good-looking, and he is also quite nice in his dealings with people and things.

From a short period of time, it's easy to see from Natsuki's Pokémon that he is indeed a responsible person.

Especially regarding Gardevoir, one thing is certain: Natsuki is not the kind of person with violent tendencies, who pursues quick results without considering feelings, and whose values ​​are very positive.

Thinking too much, Sonia suddenly blushed again, shook her head, and couldn't help but curse herself for thinking so many random things.

She became even more determined in her belief that she would decide her own future, and that her grandmother should not try to force her.

"Alright, Sonia, Xia Mu really didn't lie. It's true that only I and Xia Mu's parents know about this. Besides, this child really doesn't lie. His eyes are sincere and clear; you can't fake that." Mulan patted Sonia beside her and explained for Xia Mu.

As people age, they become wise and shrewd, and Xia Mu greatly admires Mulan.

She could tell he wouldn't lie.

Xia Mu himself knew that when he was lying, he often couldn't look people in the eye and would constantly make small, inconspicuous movements.

"Is that so? But I felt like the way he looked at me was weird from the very beginning." Sonia recalled Xia Mu's somewhat silly appearance when they first met.

Xia Mu was extremely embarrassed and said, "I was just being polite. We know each other, shouldn't we take a good look? Didn't you look at me too?"

"Is that so?" Sonia asked earnestly, her demeanor exuding confidence.

She felt that Xia Mu had ill intentions.

Watching the two engage in a heated argument like a young couple arguing, Mulan couldn't help but burst into laughter.

It seems she was reminiscing about her younger self.

Her smile made Xia Mu and Sonia feel a little embarrassed.

"For the next period of time, you two should try to get to know each other better. Xia Mu, you're going on a trip anyway, so why not take Sonia with you? She'll be able to help you," Mulan said meaningfully.

This old lady is clearly helping out.

Regardless of her relationship with the Xia family, or rather, with Uncle Xia?

For this reason alone, Xia Mu's affection for her skyrocketed.

People who seem serious and intimidating on the surface are actually quite easy to get along with.

"Grandma, you want me to go on a trip with him? But I don't know anything about the Kanto region," Sonia said anxiously.

"Isn't Xia Mu here? Although it's his first time traveling, I can tell he's quite capable and can protect you. Besides, with the Xia family protecting you, you can also take this opportunity to see the customs and culture of the Kanto region. Didn't you say you wanted to visit Kanto not long ago?" Mulan said, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Having lived for decades and possessing exceptional intelligence, he had an exquisite grasp of interpersonal relationships.

"Okay, alright." Sonia was persuaded by Mulan and could only agree for the time being.

Seeing that her granddaughter agreed, Mulan then looked at Xia Mu and said, "What's wrong? Are you not willing? I find you quite pleasing to the eye, but the way you looked at my precious granddaughter at the beginning..."

Before Mulan could finish her teasing remark, Xia Mu coughed twice and interrupted, "Understood. I'll take good care of her and won't cause any trouble."

"Okay, that's good." Mulan nodded with a smile and said nothing more.

Xia Mu and Sonia looked at each other again, their deep thoughts written all over their faces, but neither of them said anything.

……

Starting from the port, the limousine drove through the relatively prosperous city and arrived at Red Lotus Town, which is near the crater.

The Crimson Lotus Dojo is located here, and because it was built near a volcano, the temperature here is extremely hot all year round.

Fortunately, the location here is excellent. The sea breeze from the ocean perfectly balances the heat, making the climate warm, like a tropical rainforest.

Upon arriving near the volcano, Natsuki saw its strangely shaped form and couldn't help but recall the plot of the original work.

Ash's battle between Charizard and Blaine's Magmar seems to have taken place at that volcano crater.

What impressed me most back then was that Charizard unleashed its Flamethrower, which Charizard caught with its bare hands and then tossed into the air. And that wasn't all; the Flamethrower transformed into a medium Flamethrower, then into a small Flamethrower, and finally vanished...

I didn't think much of it when I was a kid, but now that I'm older, I find it really 'fun'.

[Speaking of which, this volcano reminds me of two other volcanoes.] Xia Mu thought to himself.

These two volcanoes are Mount Lamp on Juyuan Island and Mount Fire on Fire Island in the Orange Islands.

In the game, a firebird inhabits the Lantern Volcano on Juyuan Island.

I wonder if the world is the same.

If there really was one, he would like to try and tame it.
