20. Unexpected Journey. Explorers of the Stormstout House
Lili felt like she had a dream...
Tired and hungry, she felt as if she had returned to Wandering Island and her warm home. She was sitting on the elm chair handed down from her grandfather, eating leisurely with her younger brother Xizai.
Before running away from home, Lili thought she had had enough of the annoying taste of the bamboo tube rice cooked by her father. However, the last month or so of wandering made Lili miss her father's cooking more and more.
Already.
Oh, and Xizai...she misses her brother too.
But Lili still doesn't think she did anything wrong. She was born with boundless energy as a "red panda". She is the king of children on the Wandering Island and a troublemaker. She is addicted to her uncle all day long, the great legendary wine master Lao Chen Cong.
She also longed to travel in this vast world like her uncle after bringing back those fantastic stories from the world outside the Wandering Island.
But compared with beautiful dreams, reality is always cold, and the results of her willful running away from home last time were not good, and could even be said to be terrible.
Zhuang Bo, the respectable warrior who was ordered to bring her back to the Wandering Island, died under the weapon of an evil orc sword master to protect her. After being rescued by Lao Chen and brought back to the Wandering Island, everyone
They all blamed Lili's willful behavior for killing Zhuangbo. For this reason, Lili even really "settled down" for a while. Like other red pandas, she commuted to her home, private school, and monks every day.
between training grounds.
However, like all heroes who shoulder a great mission, Lili's tranquility did not last long. She secretly rode a crane and slipped out of the Wandering Island again, but this time, she was no longer doing it for willful fun.
, but to realize an ancient legend that has been circulating among the Pandaren groups on Wandering Island for thousands of years... She wants to find the place of origin for her family and her people...
Find the legendary Pandaria!
Lili's ambition did not come randomly. She found a real wonder in the library of Wuchen Temple. The pearl predicted the location of Pandaria to her. She felt that a sacred mission had arrived.
For her, she must complete this adventure for her ancestors...even if her father will blame her for this and even want to sever the father-daughter relationship with her.
However, all these ambitions were interrupted in this sudden stormy night...
"Um?"
With the return of perception, Lili's sweet dream was interrupted.
She frowned and subconsciously opened her eyes, but at this moment, other closed senses quickly returned. Lili's ears moved, and she heard the sounds around her, coming from the monk's special sensitivity.
Her senses allowed her to quickly sense the strong threat posed to her by the lives around her. Lili suddenly realized that waking up now seemed not a good idea.
But she was the one with the best actual combat performance among all the monk apprentices on Wandering Island. In this situation, Lili knew how to protect herself, so she worked hard to mobilize the "Qi" in her body to let her
His heartbeat and breathing remained as they were when he was unconscious. At the same time, he secretly raised his furry ears and listened to the chats of the weird guys around him.
The instinct of an outstanding warrior from the Stormstout family's bloodline told her that now was not a good time to fight.

"Look! Little Bear Man..."
Yuna stood in the middle of the cabin. She pointed at the "unconscious" Lili on the bed. The little ghost riding on the soul deer said triumphantly to the naughty children of the Dawn Blade family around her:
"I picked her up. I also picked up a baby that glows and can see the Kingdom of the Fat Bear!"
"Kingdom of the Fat Bearman?"
Dornan, who was slightly drunk, rubbed her forehead and turned to look at Vanessa beside her:
"Have you heard of this kingdom? Does this kingdom exist in the world of Azeroth?"
"No, at least I haven't heard of it."
Vanessa was not drunk. The noble lady was looking at the "little bear man" lying on the bed with steady breathing with playful eyes. She looked at the triumphant Yuna, she folded her arms,
Curious asked:
"But what I'm more concerned about is, little Yuna, why do you always pick up these weird things? Is this some kind of talent, or does it require some special skills?"
"I don't know either."
Yuna shrugged, took out two gummy candies that exuded the aroma of flowers and plants from her pocket, ate one herself, and stuffed another into the mouth of Arceus who was riding her, but just when she was about to show off to the other friends
When she was holding the orb in her hand, Taelia, who had just walked to the deck to sober up, opened the door, and the warrior girl walked into the cabin wrapped in the cold wind.
At a glance, she saw Lili lying on the bed surrounded by children. Taelia's eyes widened in surprise:
"Hey! A baby panda? Where did you find her?"
"It's a bear! Little bear!"
Yuna retorted harshly to Taelia. This silly little ghost stubbornly believed that what she had picked up was a werebear. She had seen young werebears in the Grizzly Hills in Northrend.
None of the other children have seen a bear-man, but judging from Lili's appearance, she does look very similar to the legendary bear-man.
On the bed in front of them, the "fainted" Lili was wearing clothes made of weird fabrics, which looked like some kind of pink clothing suitable for sports.
Moreover, her limbs are covered with soft black manes, but there are lovely white manes on her cheeks and palms. There are two big eyes on the human-shaped cheeks, and around the big eyes, there is a
He has a circle of black hair, a slightly moist split nose like a little bear, and long black hair tied into a single ponytail.
And the combination of these slightly weird features on this little "bear-man" girl with a head about the same size as Yuna always gives people a "cute" feeling.
But Taelia had enough evidence to overturn Yuna's "affirmation". The warrior girl sat on a chair, picked up a glass of fruit wine, sipped the cold liquid, and said with her eyes closed:
"On the training ground of the Gladiator Academy in Draenor, at least more than 20 Ursines died in my hands, so I can responsibly tell you, idiot Yuna, the Ursines you picked up were not.
The forelimbs of the bear people are very developed and powerful, which are their hunting weapons, and they generally have sharp teeth sticking out of their lips. The most important thing is that the ears of the bear people are triangular, and the ears of the panda you picked up are
The ears are oval."
Taliyah snorted. She looked at Yuna, who looked unwilling to admit defeat. She shrugged her shoulders and played the last card while drinking fruit wine:
"The most important thing is that pandas, whether male or female, have no tails, but female pandas do have tails, and their fluffy tails are almost like foxes... You can check it out for yourself."
Yuna, who did not believe in evil, jumped from behind Arceus onto the soft bed. With the help of Sarantia, she stretched out her hand to push the "unconscious" Lili up. This action made Lili, who was pretending to be unconscious, a little helpless.
, she heard the exchanges of several people around her, and she knew what Yuna was going to do.
But the problem is that, like all races with tails, the female Pandaren's tail is not something that can be touched casually. When Yuna's "evil" hand reached out to Lili's pants, the little monk secretly began to grow it.
Force...yes, she was ashamed and angry, ready to fight back.
While Yuna was checking Lili's tail, Anduin, who had just slept for a while and had woken up from the dazed state caused by the fruit wine, looked at his sister Taelia with admiration and asked in a low voice.
:
"Taelia, how do you know so much about pandaren and bearmen? Have you seen a pandaren before? Why have I never heard of the pandaren race?"
"Not only have I seen..."
Taelia smiled and stretched out her hand, messing up Anduin's neat blond hair. She said softly:
"When I was training in the outer lands, I unexpectedly competed with a powerful Pandaren monk. He said his name was Chen, and he had a very strange last name, Stormstout..."
Just as Taelia spoke, a scream with shame and anger sounded in the cabin. Lili, who was pretending to be unconscious, turned over on the bed like an agile fox, waved a palm with her backhand, and
In the blink of an eye, it headed towards Yuna's heart who stretched out her hands.
"Go away!"
Accompanied by shouts in a strange language, green light mist lit up in the small cabin, but Yuna, who had already suffered a loss, reacted quickly this time, just before the fist with light mist touched her.
, a grimace suddenly appeared on the little ghost's naughty face, and then completely disappeared the next moment.
Before Lili could react, a blazing war hammer appeared in front of her eyes, and in the shadow behind her, two icy-cold blades came staggered, entwined with thunder and lightning.
, and pressed tightly against her furry neck.
This time, Lili didn't dare to move at all...
She is not a legendary monk like Master Shang Xi or Uncle Chen. In fact, she cannot defeat anyone in this house, so when facing the sharp blade mixed with murderous intent, the explorer Li of the Stormstout family
Li, decisively... took a step back from her heart.
"Eh...wait!"
Taliyah, who was sitting in the back watching the show, suddenly noticed the wooden badge on the chest of Lili's training uniform. The next moment, she put down her wine glass and said something to stop her:
"Vanessa, Dornan, don't hurt her!"
After saying that, Taelia walked quickly to Lili, who had raised her hands in surrender but was still hostile to the people around her. She squatted down and pointed at the wooden badge on Lili's chest. She recalled with difficulty a few years ago.
That adventure in the world of Draenor, then he took out an empty wine gourd from his storage ring, waved it towards Lili, and asked in a weird, staccato language:
"Chen? You... know... him? Are you... Stormstout?"
"This is Uncle Chen's wine gourd!"
After Lili saw the unique wine gourd in Taelia's hand, her hostility dissipated a lot. She knew that Uncle Chen, a wine master, rarely gave away the wine he brewed to others, and this person in front of her
Since the girl has Uncle Chen's wine gourd, it means that she must have met Uncle Chen and got his approval.
Seeing that the hostility in Lili's big black and white eyes dissipated, Dornan and Vanessa also withdrew their deadly weapons. In front of everyone, including the curious Yuna who returned from the dead world in secret.
Under his gaze, Lili stood on the messed up bed, clasped her hands together, and bowed slightly towards Taelia in a weird posture.
"Hello...my name is Lili, Lili Stormstout."
"Do you know where Uncle Chen is now? I'm looking for him all over the world, and I'm in a hurry!"
————————————————————————————————
"Eat slowly, there are still many in the kitchen."
Looking at Lili who was holding a plate of grilled fish and eating quickly, Taelia couldn't help but pat her back, for fear that she would choke after eating too quickly. The warrior girl had competed with the legendary monk Lao Chen, who
The legendary monk whom she met by chance taught her many practical combat skills. Taliyah has always been grateful to the friendly Pandaren master. Now that she happened to meet Lao Chen's niece, Taliyah naturally wanted to treat Lili as a distinguished guest.
.
Of course, this does not mean that they can communicate naturally. After all, the language of the Pandaren is very obscure and difficult to learn. Although Lili is smart, this is only her second time running away from home. She is not familiar with the common language used by the Federation.
, Lili is not very familiar with it either.
However, the language barrier did not trouble these naughty children. Dornan extravagantly used soul links to connect everyone's souls to everything, so that they could easily communicate spiritually.
But this method is very "luxury", because the real use of Soul Link, a high-level elemental spell, is that when a team encounters an emergency, the shaman can use the soul amplification of his teammates to summon more people in a short time.
A strategic defense spell that uses the power of elements to protect others. At a critical moment, the soul link cast by a powerful shaman can even protect an entire legion of soldiers in a devastating disaster.
However, none of this is a problem for the genius shaman. With Dornan's current soul strength, she can easily maintain the soul link between these little girls for as long as without interference from external forces.
Tens of minutes were enough for them to figure out Lili's origin.
"Want a drink, kid?"
With her legs crossed, Vanessa used a sisterly tone and pushed a glass of rum with ice cubes to Lili, who was enjoying her meal. It could be seen from the way the little panda was eating that she must have been there for a while.
She was not having a good time, but Lili took the wine glass very obediently and showed a sweet smile to Vanessa.
The red panda suddenly showed its cute side, which made Vanessa smile subconsciously. However, the behavior of Miss Assassin made Lady Yuna who was watching all this very unhappy. This little ghost was riding on the soul.
Behind the deer, while chewing hard candy, he shouted loudly:
"Tyrion doesn't allow minors to drink. If you give that little kid a drink, I'm going to tell Tyrion, Alleria, and your father about this! Let them beat you!"
There is a reason for the little ghost's nameless fire...
After Lili's hostility disappeared and she revealed her identity, at Taelia's request, Yuna was very reluctant to give up the treasure she "picked up" and returned it to Lili. This made Yuna very
I feel unhappy, even so angry that I want to punch someone.
Unfortunately, like Lili, she can't beat anyone in this house... Unless Master Yuna is willing to lower herself to bully Anduin and Salandia...
"Come on, little Yuna."
Vanessa sneered:
"Talia has said that every panda is very good at drinking. Even though Lili is as tall as you, she can easily drink down 10 of you."
Seeing the little ghost frowning and making trouble again, Taelia made a gesture to stop the quarrel between Vanessa and Yuna. She sat across from Lili's dining table and drank the glass of wine before Lili.
After wiping her mouth, the warrior girl coughed and looked at Lili:
