Chapter 58 - Xiao Da, the Girl of the Grasslands

[Magic flames that don't burn? Unreal!]

[Look at Jin—totally fine!]

[Adaptive fire? It's like it chooses who to burn!]

[I wanna touch it too! But Streamer Feng got roasted LOL.]

Su Feng: "…"

Are you guys fans or haters at this point?

"So… she's accepted me?" Jin asked, still bewildered.

"Yep. You've got what it takes to be a Trainer—if she's willing to join you."

Jin looked at the Ponyta, recalling Su Feng's bond with Combusken. Steeling himself, he asked, "Ponyta… will you travel with me? My duty to my country comes first, but you'll always be second in my heart."

The Ponyta met his earnest gaze and nodded.

Jin exhaled, his tension melting. The last time he'd felt this nervous was during his military oath ceremony.

Su Feng clapped sarcastically. "Congrats! You're officially a Pokémon Trainer now."

"That's… it?"

"Want a wedding ceremony too?"

The Ponyta shot Su Feng an approving look. Maybe this weirdo isn't so bad after all.

Jin rode cautiously atop Ponyta, still processing his sudden partnership. "Am I… too heavy?"

The Ponyta shook her head emphatically—she'd insisted on carrying him.

Su Feng rolled his eyes. "Weren't you listening earlier? She could cart around three of you without breaking a sweat."

[Aw, Jin's worried about his weight. So sweet~]

[Can I just wander into the grasslands and grab a Ponyta too?]

[Try it and meet a Tauros stampede, buddy.]

[Pro tip: Check if you've got that ✨hero aura✨ before you go.]

Despite Su Feng's reassurances, Jin kept adjusting his gear, terrified of discomforting his new partner. Watching them, Su Feng fought back envy. He's got a ride now, while I'm still hoofing it.

A chat message snapped him to attention:

[BreezyMoon123: Streamer Feng! That Pokémon stealing my yaks' food is back. Please help!]

Su Feng blinked. Yaks ate coarse grass—what Pokémon would compete for that?

"BreezyMoon123, where are you? If it's nearby, I'll check it out."

The user blasted 10 virtual rockets (high-value gifts) across the screen:

[BreezyMoon123: The Tauros herd just passed my ranch. Follow their trail west!]

"Any landmarks? Smoke signals?"

[BreezyMoon123: Just look for a massive yak herd. You can't miss it.]

"This is what you call 'a herd'?!"

Su Feng gaped at the sea of yaks stretching to the horizon. No wonder BreezyMoon123 was confident—this was unmissable.

A teenage girl galloped into view on horseback, leading a second riderless horse. Her sun-kissed skin, traditional herder attire, and bold energy radiated pure grassland spirit.

"Finally meeting the legendary Streamer Feng!" She dismounted with a grin. "I'm BreezyMoon123—call me Xiao Da!"

Su Feng gestured to the drone. "We're live, by the way."

Xiao Da waved at the camera fearlessly. "Hi everyone! I'm Xiao Da from X City's grasslands!"

Chat erupted:

[Adorable herder girl alert!]

[How is she both cool AND cute?!]

[Feng's viewers are built different!]

[My screen's dirty… let me lick it clean.]

[Get help, dude.]

Su Feng eyed the yak ocean. "All… yours?"

"Yep!"

"How many are there?"

"About 2,000 here, 2,000 over there, plus calves…" She flashed a grin. "Nearly 5,000 total."

Su Feng: "…"

[Hmm... Based on current market prices, a single yak costs around ¥10,000. For high-quality ones, it can go up to ¥20,000.]

[5,000 yaks at ¥15,000 each would total around ¥75 million!]

[Holy crap, that's insanely rich!?]

[This is a wealthy lady—no, a wealthy loli (rich young girl)!!]

[Little Da-mei, I'm 6'3" with eight-pack abs and own two apartments in City S. Any chance we could grab dinner?]

[To the guy above: Out in the real world, I'd call you "Rich Bro." But here on Tik Tok, I gotta say… you're still broke.]

[You're all deranged! She's clearly way too young for this kinda talk!]

Xiao Da laughed. "Feng's fans are as fun as I hoped!"
