Luther's sudden return made Mai a little confused.

I talked to Luther on the phone last night, and he also said that he still had a lot of things to do, and it would probably take a few days before he could go home.

After galloping all the way, the first thing Luther did when he got home was to take a comfortable bath and ask Geely Dan to feed Kuailong something to eat, so that he would not be hungry when he returned.

Luther, who felt very comfortable after taking a hot bath, was covered by Mai with a towel on his head as soon as he walked out of the bathroom.

Luther silently asked Mai to clean his hair and clean his body. Thinking of what he was about to do, he wanted to hug Mai, empty his mind, and enjoy the tenderness from Mai for a while.

But he endured it.

Mai worries easily, and if she notices something strange about her, she will definitely not let herself take the risk.

She always supported her unconditionally in other matters, but what Luther wanted to do this time was too audacious.

Luther still remembered that he fainted in the rainstorm because of Mira's incident, and was taken away by the Phoenix King. His whereabouts are unknown.

When Mai returned to the contestant village, she kept hugging herself tightly, like a child who lost her beloved thing and found it again.

That night, even in her sleep, Mai was murmuring her name in a low voice. She kept holding her hand tightly, for fear that Luther would suddenly run away.

It was a kind of panic deeply buried in Mai's heart. For her, Luther was the future that she had finally found, and it was also her happiness.

The feeling of gain and loss made her feel tortured. She couldn't imagine how it would feel when something she had the courage to hold for the first time suddenly slipped out of her hands.

Maybe all the courage he suddenly had to fight against his father disappeared?

Maybe it's because I don't dare to look forward to the life that belongs to me and should be created by myself in the future?

Precisely because everything along the way was like a dream, Mai was always so attached to Luther.

"Look at you, there are still shampoo bubbles in your hair after washing it. You don't know what to worry about... Do you want me to wash it again for you?"

Seeing Mai's suggestion with a wicked smile, Luther's heart skipped a beat, but then he sighed helplessly in his heart.

He slowly squatted down, pressed his body against Mai's belly, and listened quietly.

"It's only been such a short time and I can't hear anything." Mai smiled and tapped Luther on the head.

"It's okay, it's good to listen to your heartbeat." Luther said, "Suddenly I remembered that the first time I heard your heartbeat so close was the night I conquered Darkrai."

"Really?" Mai tilted her head and thought for a while, "Why don't I remember it?"

It's natural that she has no impression, because Mai was pulled into the nightmare by Darkrai that night to absorb energy and recover from her injuries.

It was when he was confirming Mai's condition that Luther felt for the first time the beating heart of Mai, who had been traveling with him.

These are all good memories.

She couldn't listen any more. If she listened any longer, she would realize something was wrong with her.

After coming back, he had plenty of opportunities to listen. He and Mai still had a long life together.

Luther stood up slowly, walked to the coffee table, picked up a piece of letter paper, and sat on the sofa generously.

"Can you make me a cup of tea with more honey?"

After sending Mai away, Darkrai confirmed that there were no elves around Mai, and Cresselia was not active nearby.

Luther quickly started writing, filling up half of the letter paper, and sealed the written letter before Mai brought the tea.

Mai knew that she never liked tea that was too hot, so the temperature of the tea she served was always Luther's favorite "moderate" temperature.

This is similar to the "appropriate amount" of seasonings that chefs and apprentices talk about when teaching, and it all depends on the accumulation of times and experience.

Luther drank it all in one gulp, enjoying the sweetness on his taste buds, and handed the envelope to Mai.

Mai seemed to sense something was wrong, and looked a little suspicious when she reached out to take the envelope.

"I just wanted to change into dry clothes when I came back. I'm going out again soon."

"Give this letter to Xiaozhi after he appears. There is a surprise in it."

Luther's words interrupted Mai's thoughts and shifted Mai's focus to "surprise for Xiaozhi".

Luther has a very good relationship with Doc, Xiaozhi, and Atole, and they usually communicate a lot in private.

Thinking this was a little game between Luther and Xiaozhi's friends, Mai said with a smile: "No problem, I will pass it on to him when Xiaozhi shows up."

I never get tired of Mai's smiling face... Luther really wants to kiss her now, touch her hair that has grown again, and smell if she still has that good shampoo smell.

"Let's go, please leave that dragon to you. He has a hard time coming back. Remember to take care of him for a while, and don't let anyone say that we even borrowed the elves on the island to keep him well fed."

Mai said: "I will personally get him some elf food that suits his taste later, so be careful along the way."

Qixi Bluebird had already rested with the help of Yuzi, and Luther patted his chubby round face.

"It's time to set off again, are you ready?"

The Chinese Valentine's Day bluebird chirped softly and crawled on the ground, allowing Luther to climb onto his back smoothly.

Before leaving, Luther asked Qixi Bluebird to go to the northern area of ​​Qidao, the cliff where Adu's residence is located.

However, when he was flying in the air, he always felt that he seemed to have missed something in his explanation to Mai.

But he couldn't remember it for a while, so Luther had to shake his head and treat it as an illusion.

Far away from A'du's residence, there is a deserted island scattered around Qidao like broken leaves. The vegetation on the deserted island is very sparse. At a glance, it is uneven in height and height.

Recently, Lugia and Ho-oh have been active in this area because they have to urge Silver to practice his skills.

Luther successfully found Xiao Yin splashing in the sea among the white waves, as well as Lugia, who was half exposed and supervising Xiao Yin's practice.

Seeing Luther arriving, Xiao Yin seemed to have found a savior and hurriedly tried to wash ashore, but was glared at by his mother.

Xiao Yin had no choice but to continue soaking in the sea water aggrievedly, with his little head drooping, not to mention how pitiful he was.

"I'm going to start my adventure."

Lugia and Feng Wang had learned of Luther's plan earlier. Apart from thinking that Luther was brave, they did not give any other comments, and they did not even stop Luther from doing it.

Because they all knew that Luther would definitely do it, and no one could stop him.

"We are waiting for you to come back."

Phoenix King and Lugia spoke in unison, and after finishing speaking, they even looked at each other, as if blaming each other for imitating their own speech.

Luther covered his mouth and snickered, happily returned to the Tanabata Blue Bird's back, waved to King Phoenix and Lugia, accelerated, and headed towards Midina.

Lugia glanced at Xiao Yin, who was still soaking in the sea water, watching Luther leave melancholy, and sighed.

"You should have stopped him...and I should have stopped him."

"He won't listen."

"Then take it down!" Lugia said fiercely.

King Feng felt that Lugia was really changeable. She was the one who distrusted Luther before, but now she was the one who felt disappointed when he saw Luther going to Midina.

The key is that Lugia can still justify himself. When asked, he said, "I'm afraid Xiao Yin will be sad."

"He should go. This is a conflict between man and Arceus. Someone should untie this knot."

"Think about it, isn't the willingness to take this step the reason why we appreciate him?"

"He is not a child of this world. The first time I saw him, he was so worried and afraid that he would not be recognized by me because he did not belong to this world."

"Actually, he doesn't need to worry. To me, humans only have spiritual differences...the same goes for Arceus."

Lugia sighed: "He is not a sage, there is no need to do what a sage should do."

"Sages are a thing of the past. When humans need sages one after another to maintain their relationship with the elves... this situation is fragile and dangerous."

"Do you still remember her chatting and laughing with us?"

Lugia remained silent.

"Sorry for reminding you of that past event."

"I just want to tell you that after she left this world, we will gradually drift away from humanity in the next hundreds of years."

"Times have changed. Nowadays, humans no longer need sages to communicate with elves, and conflicts no longer need sages to mediate."

"Excellent trainers have inherited the work of the sages. Many of them are no different from the sages at that time. Their relationship with the elves is closer than that of the sages."

"Sages... are things in our memories. They are too long ago. Those pictures are like dreams and have become a bit blurry."

King Feng looked at Qidao from a distance: "Now, their spirit has been taken over by a group of excellent trainers. Every trainer can be a sage..."

"Trust me, he will be fine."

"And I will bless his heir on the day he is born, just like the seeds I once sowed in Luoyu Town."

Mai was holding the envelope in her hand, while Eevee and Sun Coral were jumping around, discussing what to eat tonight, while Silly Hippo was holding a photo of a beautiful girl in his hand, flipping through it with relish.

The Night Demon and Gengar had been in a daze with Mai for a long time. They didn't know what was so interesting about this envelope, so that their master actually looked at it for more than an hour.

Geng Gui muttered: "Isn't it just an envelope? Let me open it."

As he spoke, he reached out to touch the envelope.

As a result, he was held down by the dark night demon's big hand, unable to move.

As if she didn't feel the farce around her, Mai held her chin in a daze.
