In the office, several people stared intently at the feather in Fei Xiao's hand on the live stream.
A rainbow feather? And what about this Rainbow Hero?
The group didn't see anything special, but they wouldn't underestimate this feather because of that.
The big shots present were no ordinary people.
They were thinking about much more than the people in the live stream chat.
They didn't think the appearance of Ho-Oh—that is, the legendary Pokémon—was a coincidence.
Of course, the possibility of it being a coincidence could not be ruled out.
However, the two old men were more inclined to believe the former.
Perhaps Fei Xiao was the only person Ho-Oh had truly seen this time.
Although this was inconceivable, both men trusted their intuition.
"Old Ye, call the others now!"
"Alright, you make the arrangements, and I'll contact them one by one."
"Xiao Yan, I'll leave the live stream to you. Remember to notify me and Old Ye if the stream ends."
Jiao Wuyan gave the instructions in a serious tone, and without waiting for Jiao Xiaoyan's reply, he and Ye Jinnian walked out of the office together and started getting busy on their phones.
Jiao Xiaoyan saw this happen before she even had a chance to agree.
"Alright, Xiao Yan, Old Ye and the others have important matters to attend to, so let's not get in their way."
Zhou Long found Jiao Xiaoyan's dazed expression somewhat amusing.
Seeing the two big shots leave, Yang Lingfeng also relaxed.
"Right, after all, legendary Pokémon are no longer just talk on paper; this time, one has truly appeared before the public."
After thinking about it carefully, Jiao Xiaoyan felt that it was indeed the case.
It seemed some people were destined not to sleep well tonight.
...
"Wow, this feather is so beautiful! I want one too!"
Lin Siyu took the feather, her eyes shining, and couldn't help but exclaim.
"Don't overthink it, this belongs to Sister Fei Xiao."
Meng Xi said this, but she secretly wanted one too.
It couldn't be helped; girls are always drawn to beautiful things.
"Alright, I know it's Sister Fei Xiao's, can't I just talk about it?"
Lin Siyu stuck out her pink tongue, and in the end, she reluctantly returned the feather to Fei Xiao.
Seeing this, Fei Xiao didn't take it and waved her hand casually.
"It's fine, it's just a feather. If Siyu wants it, just take it."
"Really? Then I'll keep it safe for now!"
Hearing this, Lin Siyu didn't stand on ceremony at all, immediately taking the feather back to admire it carefully.
Seeing this, Meng Xi didn't say much.
This feather belonged to Fei Xiao; if she didn't mind, then Lin Siyu wouldn't listen to her anyway.
(No way? She just gave it away? Hey, the person above, answer me!)
(Wuwuwu... I really want a best friend who thinks of me like that too!)
(Give it a rest, didn't you hear her say it's for safekeeping? It definitely has to be returned!)
(But she could easily hand over such an important item to someone else. Do you think you could do that?)
...
Lin Siyu suddenly thought, "The pokédex says the feather of the legendary Ho-Oh can bring happiness, so won't Fei Xiao be set for life now!"
Fei Xiao was visibly stunned when she heard this.
Set for life? She supposed she was doing alright for now.
But as for happiness...
She suffered from 'Moon Rage' and didn't know if she would die one day in the future.
However, Fei Xiao didn't intend to tell them; saying it would only add unnecessary worry.
Whether it could be solved in the future was a problem for another time.
At least the appearance of Ho-Oh might really bring good luck to her future.
Fei Xiao forced a smile and said, "Who knows? Anyway, I'm already very satisfied with the present."
The people in the live stream couldn't help but sigh, all commenting on how lucky and low-key Sister Fei Xiao was.
Although Lin Siyu and Meng Xi, who heard this, didn't notice anything, for some reason, they felt a faint sense of unease in their hearts.
The two of them just assumed it was an illusion and didn't pay it any mind.
The sky had gradually darkened, but the rainbow on the horizon remained, bringing a touch of color to the gloomy sky.
After the three of them gazed quietly for a few minutes, they started looking for a place to set up camp for the night.
In the end, they returned to the lakeside where they had been fishing earlier to find an open space.
After half a day of trying, the group finally... failed to set up the tent.
"You planned to go camping but didn't bother to learn how to set up a tent?"
Fei Xiao looked at the two flustered girls in shock.
"Hehehe, I thought it looked pretty simple in the videos... so..."
Lin Siyu didn't dare to look Fei Xiao in the eye.
Fei Xiao stared at her suspiciously, then finally turned her gaze to Meng Xi.
"I studied it, but I never tried it myself. I didn't expect the practice to be so complicated."
Meng Xi's cheeks gradually turned red.
Seeing this, Fei Xiao was speechless.
One was an overconfident girl, the other was a keyboard warrior; neither was easy to deal with.
In the end, it was Fei Xiao who had to slowly figure it out to get the tent set up.
Today's live stream ended as the tent was raised.
However, Fei Xiao seemed to have discovered another problem.
"Don't tell me this tent was bought a long time ago."
Looking at the tent in front of her that could only fit two people, Fei Xiao voiced her question.
Lin Siyu and Meng Xi looked at each other, remained silent for a moment, then turned and looked up at the sky together.
The sky tonight really is... dark!
Fei Xiao:...
Fine, fine, so this is what you meant by "don't worry"? This household would really fall apart without me!
Fei Xiao helplessly covered her forehead, and in the end, she volunteered.
"Forget it, you two sleep in the tent tonight."
"Ah, how can we do that!"
"Yeah, Sister Fei Xiao, the three of us can squeeze in!"
The tent was set up by Fei Xiao herself; how could they have the heart to kick her out to sleep outside? That would be like discarding the millstone after the grain is ground!
"Give it a rest, how would you young girls be used to sleeping in the wild? So don't try to be tough, I'll just sleep outside."
Fei Xiao said bluntly; after all, it was too difficult for these city-raised girls to suddenly sleep outside.
The two girls felt a bit embarrassed because, as Fei Xiao said, they definitely weren't used to sleeping in the wild.
Meng Xi asked with concern, "Have you ever camped before, Sister Fei Xiao?"
Fei Xiao answered subconsciously.
"Of course! Back on the battlefield..."
Suddenly realizing something was wrong, Fei Xiao hurriedly covered her mouth.
Why did I say that? What battlefield? I don't even know why I said that!
Oh crap, this is a bit awkward now.
...
At this moment, time seemed to freeze, and the three of them stood still.
Ring ring ring~
A sudden ringtone broke the silence.
It turned out to be Fei Xiao's phone.
Fei Xiao used this as an excuse to leave temporarily.
As for the two people left in silence...
Sure enough, although Fei Xiao stopped in time, they had still heard it clearly.
Battlefield?
Although the countries in this world weren't exactly friendly, they had maintained a stable status quo for hundreds of years.
The country had long since ended its internal strife and had been stable for nearly a hundred years, so there was no war at all.
To be bold, even if Fei Xiao really was a person from hundreds of years ago, with her strength, the world would have probably been unified long ago.
So that idea was ruled out.
Combined with Fei Xiao's identity as a Foxian.
At this moment, Lin Siyu and Meng Xi tacitly recalled their previous speculations about Fei Xiao's identity.
The other party might really not be from this world.
