## Chapter 66: Are You the Snail Maiden?

After Chikorita got acquainted with everyone, Bai Feng followed Helioptile to see Buneary.

Thanks to Helioptile's careful tending, Buneary's injuries had basically recovered, and it could now hop and jump.

After seeing Buneary, Bai Feng came out of Helioptile's Room and saw Helioptile following closely behind him. He asked in confusion:

"Helioptile, is there something you want to tell me?"

Hearing this, Helioptile looked hesitant and shy, wanting to speak but feeling a bit embarrassed, completely different from its usual self.

Helioptile's nature was straightforward, and Bai Feng rarely saw it like this, which made him curious about what it wanted to say.

"What's there to be embarrassed about with me?" Bai Feng patted its head and said, "If you don't say it now, I'm leaving!" With that, he made a gesture as if to leave.

"Ay bip~ Ay bip~" That... that... I have something to ask of you...

Helioptile immediately became anxious upon hearing this and quickly called out to stop Bai Feng.

"Go ahead, I'm listening!" Bai Feng nodded.

So, Helioptile stammered out its request.

Bai Feng wasn't surprised after hearing it. He looked as if he had seen right through Helioptile and said, "So that's what it is~" He drew out the end of his sentence, his voice full of teasing towards Helioptile.

It turned out Helioptile's request was to hope Bai Feng would let Buneary stay at Fangxing Mountain, but it was afraid of causing Bai Feng trouble, which was why it had been hesitant to speak up.

Seeing that Buneary's injuries had recovered and there was no need to stay and recuperate anymore, it finally couldn't sit still and came to find Bai Feng.

But in reality, this matter was just a trivial thing for Bai Feng. He had already hired so many Pokémon in his Orchard, so what was the harm in having one more Buneary?

"Ay bip~ Ay bip~" Buneary can work, it's very diligent...

Seeing that Bai Feng didn't continue speaking, Helioptile thought he wouldn't agree, so it anxiously listed Buneary's advantages.

"Hahaha..." Bai Feng saw it fidgeting anxiously and couldn't help but burst into laughter. Finally, he stopped teasing it. "Alright, isn't it just about letting Buneary stay? I agree. The Orchard is currently short on helping hands anyway."

"Ay bip~ Ay bip~"

Helioptile, realizing belatedly that it had been tricked by Bai Feng, puffed up its little cheeks in anger. It scurried up onto Bai Feng's shoulder and then tugged at his hair to vent its frustration. Before long, Bai Feng's head looked like a bird's nest.

Bai Feng reached out and took it down from his shoulder, pleading, "I was wrong, I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again. You should hurry and tell your little friend the news."

Helioptile glared at Bai Feng, then quickly jumped out of his arms and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Buneary was also extremely excited upon learning that Bai Feng had agreed to let it stay, vowing to repay Bai Feng well in the future.

Through Helioptile's descriptions, Buneary had long yearned for Fangxing Mountain and never expected that it would actually have a day to join this place. For a while, it jumped and shouted with Helioptile in the Room.

After learning that Helioptile had helped it plead its case, Buneary was even more grateful to Helioptile. It hugged Helioptile and rubbed affectionately against it for a while, making Helioptile blush.

Before dinner, Bai Feng went to see the Flabébés again. He spoke to them with great care but didn't overly disturb them, which made the Flabébés' affection for him increase greatly once more.

Looking at the remaining fruit pits in the Flabébés' Room, the computer playing movies, the toys scattered to the side, the uneaten snacks... Bai Feng smiled with satisfaction.

Everyone is very capable!

Because he was in a good mood, Bai Feng uncharacteristically called all the employees into the Home that evening and personally cooked them a hearty dinner. He also formally introduced Buneary, who would be staying and working at Fangxing Mountain, to everyone.

After dinner, Bai Feng gave everyone a Rejuvenation one by one again. Now with Psychic Assistance, Bai Feng could perform Rejuvenation on multiple Pokémon simultaneously, so it didn't take much time at all this time.

Buneary and Chikorita were experiencing Rejuvenation for the first time. Their reactions were the same as Brionne and the others back then; they simply couldn't resist the refreshing sensation that made their whole bodies feel numb yet completely relaxed.

Even Purrloin, which was initially skeptical of Rejuvenation, completely cast aside its previous thoughts after enjoying it a few more times.

There was no helping it, it was too enjoyable. Doing Rejuvenation could make one forget all worries.

Gastly, Misdreavus, and Litwick, these three Pokémon, after spending some time with the Pokémon on the mountain, finally stopped being constantly anxious. They could now stay with everyone calmly, and this time they also experienced Rejuvenation with a peaceful mindset.

After a round of enjoyment, everyone dispersed.

Because he had cooked too many dishes that evening, Bai Feng was a bit tired. So, after everyone left, he didn't bother much with cleaning up the remaining leftovers and pots and pans, planning to deal with them the next morning. He then went to bed early.

Children who don't get enough sleep won't grow tall.

Perhaps because he went to bed early last night, Bai Feng woke up early the next morning. Rubbing his sleepy eyes, he walked out of his Room. As he passed the Restaurant, he was surprised to find that the mess from last night's table was gone.

He thought he was seeing things and rubbed his eyes again, confirming that he hadn't misread.

"Who got up so early to clean? Could it be Mother?" Bai Feng muttered softly, feeling a bit incredible. His Mother wasn't exactly diligent; she definitely needed to sleep in in the morning and rarely got up too early.

Then Bai Feng noticed other differences in the Home. Not only was the Restaurant spotless, but the pots and pans in the Kitchen were also washed sparkling clean and even neatly arranged in the cabinets.

And the Living Room, the tables and chairs were neatly arranged and wiped sparkling clean, the floor was swept spotless, everything was organized perfectly.

Bai Feng looked around the Home in disbelief, thinking: "Did a Snail Maiden come to my Home?"

Just as Bai Feng couldn't help but get lost in thought, a voice pulled him back from his fantasy.

"Miiroo~ Miiroo~" Boss, you're awake!

Bai Feng turned around and saw Buneary standing timidly behind him, wearing a small apron and holding a small duster in its hand.

The apron was simply a towel tied around it, and the duster was homemade from scraps of cloth.

Bai Feng finally understood who the Snail Maiden was.

"You did all this?" he asked, pointing to the clean and tidy Living Room.

"Miiroo~ Miiroo~" Yes~ Did I not do something well?

Hearing Bai Feng's question, Buneary seemed a little apprehensive.

"No, no, you did very well." Bai Feng quickly waved his hand. More than just well, it was absolutely fantastic, like a Snail Maiden walking into reality.

Hearing Bai Feng's words, Buneary quietly breathed a sigh of relief. It said shyly, "I will work hard from now on and definitely won't eat free food."

After all, while Buneary was happy about Bai Feng's acceptance, it also felt a bit unsettled inside.

Seeing such a diligent Buneary, Bai Feng felt he had truly found a treasure. So, he waved his hand and said, "Buneary, you did a great job. From now on, all the cleaning housework in the Home will be entrusted to you!"

Bai Feng's Home was indeed built large, and cleaning was a time-consuming and laborious task. Now having a Pokémon that could help out was simply the best thing ever.

What Bai Feng didn't know was that Buneary was much more capable than he imagined. Since having Buneary, he never had to worry about housework again.

"Miiroo~ Miiroo~"

Hearing Bai Feng's words, Buneary jumped and bounced with joy. In its eyes, Bai Feng was entrusting it with a great responsibility, and from now on, its place in this Home was secure!

Thinking this, Buneary felt as if it had been injected with Blaziken's blood, its blood boiling with enthusiasm and full of drive. It picked up its homemade duster and continued to busy itself.

Soon, Bai Feng discovered something special about this Buneary. Its small body actually contained great energy. It could easily lift heavy cabinets, refrigerators, and other furniture, seemingly without effort.

Is Buneary a legendary strongman?
