Pokémon: The Journey Begins with a Cowherd

Chapter 221 The Fufeng Family (Using Dragon Dance for Garchomp! Bonus chapter by the author!)

This is actually a resource point arranged for the protagonist after breaking through to the Heavenly King level!

The protagonist's mother basically has no role later on, and if she does appear, it's no more than three sentences!

Don't worry, everyone can watch with confidence!

"What did you find out?"

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan straightened up and asked Baisong.

"So you still care? I thought you were really not interested anymore!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Baisong teased him.

"I really don't care!"

"But since you've taken the time to find out, it wouldn't be right for me not to ask!"

Upon hearing Bai Song's words, Qing Yuan waved his hand and said...

Hey! You little rascal!

Upon hearing this, Bai Song pointed at Qing Yuan, shook his head, and smiled.

"Alright, enough joking around, let's get down to business!"

"I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear more of?"

After joking with Qingyuan, Baisong turned to Qingyuan with a serious expression and said...

"Let me tell you the good news first!"

Hearing this, Qingyuan waved to him.

"The good news is that your mother is still alive, and she is the legitimate daughter of a prominent family in Fufeng!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Song told Qing Yuan about the news the Rockets had given him.

"And the bad news?"

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan nodded and continued to ask Baisong without changing his expression.

Upon hearing this, a hint of pity flashed in Bai Song's eyes before he continued speaking to Qing Yuan.

"The bad news is that your father has disappeared, and your mother abandoned you at the gate of the orphanage herself!"

"After returning to her family, she married into another prominent family!"

"She was the one who didn't want you back then!"

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan nodded thoughtfully.

He could easily understand what Bai Song meant.

In short, his father disappeared, his mother abandoned him, went back to her parents' home, remarried, and went off to enjoy her wonderful life.

But what does this have to do with him?

"Oh!"

After giving a shout in response to Bai Song, he continued preparing to get to work.

"Are you OK?"

Seeing Qingyuan's actions, Baisong couldn't help but ask worriedly.

Qingyuan is too quiet here; he's afraid this kid might do something foolish in the future.

"I'm fine, what's wrong?"

Upon hearing Bai Song's words, Qing Yuan looked completely bewildered.

However, he realized what was happening when he saw the expression on Bai Song's face.

"Don't worry, I don't care anymore!"

"By the way, you mean she's the legitimate daughter of the Fufeng family, right?"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Baisong nodded blankly and said.

"Yes, your mother is the eldest daughter of the Fufeng family!"

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan showed a thoughtful expression.

"Is it possible that my surname is Fufeng?"

"Fufeng Qingyuan, Fufeng Village! What a coincidence! But this name doesn't sound as nice as Qingyuan!"

Hearing Qingyuan's mutterings, Baisong quickly spoke to Qingyuan.

"This is a top-tier family, so don't even think about going looking for trouble!"

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan looked at Baisong with surprise and asked.

Why would you think I would cause trouble for the aristocratic families?

Do I look like a simple-minded idiot?

Upon hearing this, Bai Song, who had initially seemed somewhat anxious, suddenly became embarrassed.

Looking at his Qingyuan, Bai Song said somewhat awkwardly, "Isn't this what you were just muttering!"

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan said with a helpless expression.

"I just wanted to know what my last name might have been!"

"I'm not that stupid to try and cause trouble for a Heavenly King-level family all by myself!"

Once he reached the top and became powerful, he went to plunder.

To earn some funds and resources for raising spirits, after all, what are powerful families?

Qingyuan, who has gone through nine years of compulsory education, knows very well.

These guys are all utterly inhuman, but they're all incredibly rich.

Once he becomes powerful enough, he might be able to use this connection to earn some money for breeding Pokémon.

As for now, he should just stay a good orphan.

After all, his status as an orphan would give him greater benefits within the alliance.

Hearing Qingyuan's words and seeing that Qingyuan truly had no intention of causing trouble for the Fufeng family,

Bai Song finally breathed a sigh of relief. He would have felt terribly guilty if Qingyuan had lost his life because of this.

Those powerful families, once they see you have no profit to offer, will stop at nothing for the sake of some so-called family honor.

Once they learn of Qingyuan's existence, they will surely make sure that Qingyuan's traces in this world disappear.

Those guys are all ruthless bastards, even more ruthless than the current Rockets.

"Get to work! Get to work!"

After observing Qingyuan for a while and seeing that Qingyuan did not have any special emotions,

Bai Song then called out twice before shoveling the hoe into the roots of the weeds.

"Was that wheat you just hoeing, Mr. White Pine?"

Seeing Bai Song's actions, Qing Yuan immediately pointed to the wheat that Bai Song had just cut down and said.

What is this old man thinking? He's hoed up the wheat, mistaking it for weeds.

"Oh dear, my wheat!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Baisong was taken aback, then looked at the wheat he had hoeed down.

She immediately started wailing.

"Seriously? It's just a single grain of wheat, it shouldn't be this bad!"

Seeing Bai Song's somewhat exaggerated movements, Qing Yuan's lips twitched, and he said speechlessly.

"What do you know? This wheat is finally about to be harvested!"

"I accidentally hoeed it up at this critical juncture!"

"Wheat, I'm so sorry!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Baisong turned around and retorted a few times.

Then she turned her head and continued to cry and wail, hugging the few grains of wheat.

"Your empathy is just too strong!"

Upon hearing Bai Song's words, Qing Yuan made a sarcastic remark and walked away.

He had already seen the children running this way.

He didn't want to meet these kids he didn't like in such an awkward atmosphere.

Let's do more work and help Nidoking!

Time passed slowly by as Qingyuan worked in the fields.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Bai Song gathered the children together and called their names one by one.

They then took them back to the orphanage.

Because he had done a lot of work, Qingyuan drank three large bowls of barley porridge that night.

The wheat kernels used in the wheat porridge are the wheat that Baisong harvested today, so that all the children can have some.

Nido King even plundered a large area of ​​land, which broke the heart of the old man, White Pine.

After eating and drinking his fill, Qingyuan stood in the courtyard and looked at the moon.

Looking at the bright moon in the sky, Qingyuan couldn't help but think of what Baisong had told him about his background earlier that day.

I never imagined the Rockets had so much influence; they could investigate things from over a decade ago so thoroughly.

Of course, this may be related to the fact that Viridian City is the Rockets' home base.

Although he had no feelings about his unknown parents, finding out who they were did bring Qingyuan a sense of relief.

At least that way he won't have to keep making wild guesses about his background.

Based on his two special abilities, Qingyuan actually came to the absurd conclusion that he might be the child of a Psychic-type Pokémon and a human.

Now things are better. I know who my parents are, even though my father is missing and my mother doesn't want me anymore.

But at least he knows that he is a child of pure humankind.

Moreover, as a top-tier family, they must be incredibly wealthy.

I believe that once I break through to the Heavenly King level, it will definitely bring me a lot of resources.

When I was weak, your family didn't provide me with the resources to nurture me.

Now that I've broken through to the Heavenly King level, I believe this aristocratic family will definitely be willing to use the full strength of their clan to help me go even further.

As for not giving it to us, there's a saying that goes, "There's nothing new under the sun!"

As someone who received nine years of compulsory education, someone who rose from the bottom, and someone who knew about the dirty dealings of aristocratic families.

Once he gained power, no one knew better than him how to deal with these powerful families—no one!

I've made up for all the missed updates!!!
