Pokémon: The Journey Begins with a Cowherd

Chapter 248 Snow with the word "Danger" looming!

"Little guy, you're pretty brave! Want to have a go at me?"

Upon hearing this, the Nine-Tailed Fox, who had been dozing off to the side, suddenly raised its head and spoke to the Scorpion King.

"They...they spoke!!!"

Upon seeing this, Qianxue was immediately shocked and hugged Xiangwei Miao.

"Inside!"

The cat in Qianxue's arms cried out in pain because Qianxue was holding it too tightly.

"Damn it, what did I tell you, Nine-Tails?!"

Hearing Qianxue's words, Qingyuan turned his head to look at the Nine-Tailed Fox and shouted angrily.

He remembered telling Kurama that it shouldn't reveal its ability to talk when outsiders are around.

Damn it, how could you forget so easily? You really shouldn't have let it out.

"Oops! I forgot to block this little brat!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Nine-Tailed Fox looked up at Qianxue and said with a surprised expression.

"Damn it, if I could beat you, I would have killed you!"

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan silently muttered a complaint.

Then he turned to look at Qianxue.

The Nine-Tails is his biggest trump card right now. With the Nine-Tails around, he can guarantee his survival in most places.

Therefore, the secret of the Nine-Tails must never be exposed.

Now that Qianxue knows this secret, he begins to consider whether to leave the body of Qianxue, the girl he just rescued, to rot in the wilderness.

"What...what are you going to do?"

Seeing Qingyuan's constant scrutinizing gaze, Qianxue hugged Xiangwei Miao with a frightened expression.

Although she didn't know what Qingyuan wanted to do, the look in his eyes really gave her the creeps!

"Nine-Tails is a Pokémon that my elders sent to protect me, so this information must never be revealed!"

"I'm thinking of ways to prevent you from leaking this information!"

Hearing Qianxue's words, Qingyuan stared at her and said quietly.

He had already figured out what to do next.

"So, what method do you want to use?"

Hearing this, Qianxue took a small step back while holding Xiangwei Miao, and looked at Qingyuan with a nervous expression.

"Only the dead can keep secrets!"

Upon hearing Qianxue's words, Qingyuan silently took out a dagger from his tactical pocket and said to Qianxue.

"Greek!"

Upon hearing this, the Scorpion King and the others silently surrounded Qianxue.

Make sure Chiyuki doesn't escape from anywhere.

Even Nidoran and Cubone silently surrounded Treecko and Mareep.

Make sure these two guys don't run away alone.

Upon hearing this, Qianxue glanced at the Scorpion King and the others around her, realizing that she couldn't escape.

Moreover, this is in the wild, so even if Qingyuan kills him, he might not necessarily be in any danger.

After figuring this out, Qianxue threw away the cat-like creature in her hand, hugged Qingyuan's leg, and cried out with snot and tears streaming down her face.

"Please don't kill me! I still have dreams to fulfill, and family to take care of!"

"I promise I won't tell anyone, please don't kill me!"

Looking at Qianxue, who was crying uncontrollably at his feet, Qingyuan took out a cloth and silently wiped the dagger. He then spoke to Qianxue expressionlessly.

"There's nothing I can do about it, since you knew my secret!"

"Don't worry, my knife is very sharp, it won't hurt you!"

After saying that, he raised the dagger, ready to stab.

"No, no! You just saved me, wouldn't it be such a waste to kill me now!"

"I swear I won't tell anyone, please don't kill me!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, the Thousand Snow Alliance begged for mercy from Qingyuan once again.

However, compared to what she said before, she had started to use tactics, using the consideration of self-interest to make Qingyuan decide whether it was worth killing her.

Upon hearing her words, Qingyuan indeed stopped thrusting his dagger at her.

Qingyuan quickly took out a piece of paper from his bag, lay down on the table, and started scribbling and drawing.

He casually handed her the paper.

"Sign here and I won't kill you!"

Upon hearing this, Qianxue was taken aback and was just about to see what was written on the paper.

But then Qingyuan roared.

"What are you standing there for? Do you really want to die?!"

Upon hearing this, Qianxue didn't even have time to look at it before immediately signing the paper.

Seeing this, Qingyuan took the paper from Qianxue's hand with a satisfied expression.

"Alright, you don't have to die now!"

Seeing Qianxue's appearance, Qingyuan shook the paper at her and said.

"Do I really not have to die?"

Upon hearing this, Qianxue looked at Qingyuan with disbelief.

"I never intended to kill you. Even though this is the middle of nowhere, if I did kill someone, the cleanup would be a real hassle!"

"Besides, I'm an investigator for the Alliance, how could I do such an evil thing!"

Upon hearing Qianxue's words, Qingyuan addressed her with a righteous expression.

"And what did you just do?"

Hearing Qingyuan's words, Qianxue said in disbelief.

"I was just kidding you, otherwise you wouldn't have signed this agreement!"

Seeing Qianxue's incredulous expression, Qingyuan shook the paper in his hand at her again and said with a smile.

Upon hearing this and realizing that she wouldn't die, Qianxue collapsed to the ground, feeling weak and exhausted.

She was really scared just now, in this desolate wilderness, with no one around.

Qingyuan's strength is so great.

If Qingyuan really wanted to kill her, he could simply throw her into a place where there were many carnivorous elves.

Her family couldn't find her no matter how hard they tried.

After slumping on the ground for a while, Qianxue glanced at the paper in Qingyuan's hand out of the corner of her eye.

Then she remembered that she seemed to have signed something very important under duress.

"Then what did I just sign?"

Thinking of this, Qianxue looked at the paper in Qingyuan's hand and asked with a puzzled expression.

"It's nothing, just an agreement!"

Upon hearing Qianxue's words, Qingyuan waved his hand and said.

"As the person involved, shouldn't I have the right to know?"

Looking at Qingyuan in front of her, Qianxue said to him with a speechless expression.

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan lowered his head and pondered for a moment before speaking to Qianxue.

"That's true, after all, you still need to fulfill this agreement, so you should be aware of it!"

After saying that, Qingyuan used his mobile communication device to take a picture of the agreement.

He then handed the mobile communication device to Qianxue.

Qianxue took the mobile communication device and slowly began to read it.

The agreement is very simple, consisting of only two points.

One point is that, in order to repay Qingyuan for saving her life, Qianxue is willing to travel with Qingyuan for a month.

During this period, she had to take care of Qingyuan's daily life.

Secondly, after Qianxue leaves Qingyuan, she must not reveal anything about Qingyuan to the outside world.

If there is any breach of contract, the party in question will be required to pay Qingyuan 300 million Alliance Coins in compensation.

"Don't you know that privately signed agreements are generally invalid under the league's rules if the compensation amount is too large?"

Looking at the protocol on the mobile communication device, Qianxue said speechlessly.
