Pokémon: I just became a Gym Leader, and Cynthia proposed to me.

Chapter 504 Plenty of Dog Food

On Friday afternoon, the sunlight bathed the training grounds of the Veil Dojo in a golden glow.

Li Shuwen had just finished a round of Pokémon physical training and was about to rest when he heard the sound of the gym door being pushed open.

Looking up, one could see Cynthia walking in gracefully with her long golden hair flowing down her back, followed by Cattleya in a gorgeous dress.

"Shuwen, I want ice cream."

Cynthia greeted him with a smile, a hint of fatigue in her eyes, though her gaze remained bright.

Cattleya raised an eyebrow. "Surprised? Unexpected?"

Li Shuwen's face lit up with surprise. He stepped forward and grabbed Cynthia's hand. "Why didn't you tell me beforehand? I could have come to pick you up."

Cynthia shook her head. "Do I, a grown woman, need you to pick me up? As for you, you should keep a low profile lately and use Golden Gyarados less."

"I've always kept ice cream in my fridge, just waiting for you to come and eat it. I'll go get it now!" Li Shuwen reluctantly let go of Cynthia's hand.

Cynthia's face lit up with happiness. "Then I'll have to check if it's expired."

After saying that, she naturally took Li Shuwen's hand and walked with him towards the kitchen.

Cattleya's eye twitched. "Gentlemen, there are other guests here!"

Cynthia waved her hand casually, "Help yourself to eat whatever you want. Make yourself at home."

Cattleya couldn't help but think to herself, "I think you're the one who hasn't even married into the family yet, but you're already acting like the lady of the house!"

While eating her ice cream, Gadley's gaze swept across the dojo, and she said seemingly casually:

"It's so peaceful here, unlike some people who have been working non-stop these past few days to get rid of some eyesores, and haven't even had a decent ice cream a few times."

As she spoke, she glanced meaningfully at Cynthia.

Cynthia glanced at Gadriya, signaling her to keep quiet.

But Cattleya clearly had no intention of stopping, and continued speaking in her characteristic tone, which was both languid and sharp:

"You haven't seen how troublesome it is to clean up those underground forces that are entrenched in various places, like stinking mud."

"Some people personally lead teams, running around, making plans and personally supervising the battle, afraid of missing a single one and giving some potential threats another chance to emerge."

She paused, her gaze falling on Li Shuwen.

"Come to think of it, it seems to have started after some people encountered some clueless pirates at sea last time."

If Gadriya doesn't tell him, how could Li Shuwen know what Cynthia has done for him these past few days?

Li Shuwen was not a dull person and immediately understood the deeper meaning behind Cattleya's words.

Cynthia's recent busy schedule and ruthless methods can only be attributed to her previous encounter with pirates.

This made Cynthia worry about his safety, which led her to resolve to eliminate the dark forces that might threaten him.

A warm feeling welled up inside him. He looked at Cynthia, his eyes filled with gratitude and a touch of heartache. "Cynthia, you..."

Cynthia felt a little embarrassed by his gaze, turned her face slightly away, and whispered:

"It's nothing, it's my duty, and besides, the peace of Sinnoh is my responsibility."

Li Shuwen grabbed Cynthia's hand, "Thank you for your hard work. Remember to call me next time you need to do something like this."

"You're worried about my safety, but don't you think I'm worried about yours?"

After being bombarded with their PDA, Gadriya suddenly felt a little unable to eat the ice cream in her hand.

Li Shuwen immediately stood up. "I have to cook a feast to treat you!"

Cynthia waved her hand, "Just make a few simple dishes."

Li Shuwen did indeed casually prepare a few dishes, a total of twelve, all of which were flavors that Cynthia liked.

If there had been enough time, and if the only assistants were Li Shuwen's Pokémon and Akai, Xinyue, and Li Fei, Li Shuwen would probably have made 108 dishes.

Shirona's eyes lit up. As she tasted the dishes, she could naturally sense the deep love Li Shuwen had for her.

Caldelia wasn't in the mood to touch her chopsticks. Why did she have to be so talkative?

Li Shuwen smiled. "Cadelia, you want some too? Is it not to your taste?"

Cattleya: "..."

After dinner, Li Shuwen and Shirona sat on a bench by the pool, snuggling together and watching the stars.

Just then, Li Shuwen's communicator rang; it was the owner of the flower nursery.

"Brother Shuwen, great news! Back at the Queen Bee's place in the wild, the first batch of wild honey has been made, and the flavor is absolutely superb!"

"Are you free tomorrow? You must come and try it! By the way... oh, there's something I'd like to ask you for a favor."

The owner's voice was filled with excitement, but also a hint of helplessness.

Li Shuwen had a sudden thought; this was a perfect opportunity to take Cynthia out for a walk to clear her head.

He looked at Cynthia and extended an invitation: "The nursery owner invited us to taste the new honey, and to do him a small favor while we're at it. Would you like to come along and relax?"

Cynthia's eyes lit up. "It must be the flower ice cream place! We have to go check it out!"

Riding a Milerton, eating ice cream, and touching my eight-pack abs!

Such blissful days are something Cynthia truly misses.

The flower nursery is great! I have to go to the flower nursery!

The next day, the group split up and went to the flower beds.

Li Shuwen and Shirona rode Milertons, while Li Fei and the others drove jeeps.

The owner warmly welcomed them and took them directly to visit the Valley Bee Farm, which is now managed by the Purple Pomelo Bee Queen.

Compared to the relatively simple nectar in flower gardens, the valley has a more complex environment and a greater variety of nectar-producing plants.

As the owner had said, the honey produced was indeed a blend of floral, fruity, and unique aromas from various wild plants, with an extremely rich and complex flavor profile.

The owner used a small dish to serve a little of the freshly extracted honey for everyone to taste.

The amber-colored liquid was viscous and translucent, with a fragrant aroma.

Even a picky young lady like Cattleya nodded slightly in approval after tasting it.

Li Shuwen specially prepared a small bowl for the bear wearing the costume.

The bear only dipped a tiny bit in its paw and put it in its mouth, and its round eyes widened even more instantly.

The entire bear froze!

It was as if the sheer deliciousness had overwhelmed me, rendering me incapable of thinking.

Immediately afterwards, she let out a soft moan of utter ecstasy and longing.

They stared longingly at the honey pot on the ground.

However, the owner's next words instantly turned the bear-wearing man's elation into a raging inferno.

"Sigh, this honey is good, but unfortunately... it was stolen last night!" the farm owner said with a bitter face. "A grizzly bear that appeared out of nowhere, with incredibly thick skin!"

"The queen bee led over thirty bees in a swarm attack, unleashing a dense barrage of skills, but that guy was completely unaffected!"

"The 'Circle Bear' brought its own hollowed-out tree stump as a container and stole most of the accumulated honey!"

"They're strong and fast; you can't stop them, and you don't dare to."

As for why the circly bear didn't retaliate after being hit, it's because this cunning circly bear clearly distinguishes between a single meal and a full meal every day.

If you attack a bee colony, who will make such sweet and delicious honey for them in the future?
