"Or perhaps... someone who's impersonating the True Self Star God?"
Hearing Hanabi's crazy and doubtful words, Liuge chuckled softly.
He reached out and pinched Hanabi's cheeks, pulling them to both sides.
"A tiny Hanabi, how laughable!"
How dare you doubt that your beautiful and generous Sister Elysia is played by someone else? You're going to get a spanking for distrusting me like that!
Liuge was not worried at all that Hanabi would expose her identity.
After all, it was Aili herself who interacted with Hanabi and caused trouble in Penacony back then.
He was willing to bet that if Aili and he stood here and Hanabi, Hanabi would most likely say that Aili was fake and that he was the real one.
"Ouch... it hurts!"
Hanabi reached out and Liuge away Ruka's hand that was pinching her cheek, giving her a somewhat displeased glare.
"Seriously... they've all become Star Gods, how can they still be like this!"
Hanabi wouldn't show any respect just because Aili is a Star Goddess, especially since Elysia didn't exude that kind of high-class, sophisticated aura that only Star Goddesses possess.
This shows that the Aili in front of us is the kind of Star God who doesn't act like one.
And most importantly... she's not afraid of Hanabi at all!
Even if Aha appeared in front of him, he could still...
" Aha, hello everyone~"
At that very moment, a person wearing a smiling mask and a white suit with numerous mask patterns suddenly appeared beside Hanabi.
"Eeya!"
The person's sudden appearance startled Hanabi.
Amidst the astonished gazes of Liuge, Welt, and Cecilia, she raised her small hand and slapped it across the man's face.
With a splat, the person was sent flying in a spiral.
An eerie silence fell over the scene in an instant...

At this moment, compared to the astonishment and shock of the others, Liuge was looking at the guy who had been slapped away, her face full of astonishment.
The observation panel generated by my upgraded affix ability could only display a jumble of gibberish on that person.
But when looking at other people, he appears to be in a normal state.
For example, Hanabi.
[Hanabi]
Existing terms: little devil, fun-loving person, troublemaker, rascal, matchmaker.
For example, Cecilia is standing on the other side.
Cecilia
Existing terms: Housewife, Valkyrie, Maternal Love, compassion.
Hmm, I suddenly understand Cao a little better now.
When Liuge saw this, she looked at Cecilia again, and the image of Cao Mouren appeared in her mind.
" Aha, this is hilarious!"
At this moment, the man who had been slapped away came over again, showing no sign of anger. Instead, he reached out and ruffled Hanabi's hair.
This left Hanabi completely bewildered.
What's wrong with this guy?
Hearing this person's words, Liuge fell silent.
That sounds rather alarming.
After all, given his own abilities and strength, there are basically no people he can't see through, except for beings like the Star God.
And the guy in front of me is one of those guys I can't see through.
Could it be...?
Liuge looked the person up and down.
The white suit was adorned with numerous mask patterns, and the mask on his face was also red and resembled a clown's smiling face.
"Haha, don't look, don't look! You're about to see right through my underwear!"
At this moment, the man suddenly raised his hands to cover his chest and genitals.
It felt as if Liuge's gaze could penetrate everything.
These words immediately made everyone around Liuge look at her strangely.
It's really baffling. This was clearly a joke, but after this person said it, everyone assumed that Liuge really could see through people and look at them in a lewd way.
Of course, part of it is that Liuge is now appearing as Elysia, and in the entire universe, apart from the closed Milky Way, almost everyone who knows about the Star God knows that Elysia has become the [True Self] Star God.
And the power of the Star God was actually used for X-ray vision?
This is... way too undignified!
"Hey, wait, what's wrong with your eyes?!"
Hanabi's gaze was even more eerie.
Back in Penacony, this girl named Elysia tricked me quite a few times.
"Ahem, we understand, we understand!"
"You don't know anything, little Hanabi!"
Liuge imitated Aili's mannerisms, puffing out her cheeks slightly and feigning anger.
Then he put on a grin and looked at the Hanabi.
That look sent a chill down Hanabi.
Something's not right. Something's extremely wrong.
Thinking of this, Hanabi suddenly made a tactical retreat, but she was still a step too slow and was caught by the scruff of her neck by Liuge.
"Since you don't believe me, let's go to the inn."
For a moment, Hanabi's expression froze.
Her neck clicked mechanically as she turned her head to look at Elysia.
"You... you're kidding, right!"
But Liuge just smiled and didn't say anything.
"Say something! You said you were joking!"
Liuge smiled as usual, then silently walked towards the inn.
"Wait, no, I..."
With a bang.
Hanabi's body suddenly burst into a cloud of smoke, and the next moment Liuge's hand felt light.
In the smoke, the Hanabi had disappeared, and in the Liuge was a Hanabi doll shaking its head.
"Hehehe, you got fooled, didn't you~"
The voice of Hanabi, which was sulking, came from the Hanabi doll.
Welt and Cecilia watched all this silently, unable to get a word in edgewise.
On the other hand, the man in the white suit was laughing so hard he was pounding the wall.
Welt: Is it really that funny?
He looked at the man with a puzzled expression.
Liuge looked at the Hanabi doll in her hand, shrugged helplessly, and walked back.
However, he didn't look at Welt and Cecilia, but instead looked at the man in the white suit to the side.
"As for you..."
"Hehe, you guessed me?"
" Aha, crawl!"
" Aha, what a disgrace! I was guessed right right away~ Aha, what a disgrace! Aha..."
"What face do you have? You're just a guy who got slapped away by your own pilgrim."
The moment the words left her lips, Liuge clearly noticed that Aha's body paused.
"So, is there something you need that you suddenly showed up for?"
Upon hearing this, Aha gradually stopped laughing and instead looked at Liuge.
Something's happened!
"Something happened?"
Liuge was stunned.
An accident for an ordinary person might be a real accident, and an accident on the Xianzhou might be something like an invasion by the Antimatter Legion, but for a star god, an accident...
Blanching is definitely a big deal!
Just then, Liuge belatedly realized what was happening.
During the time he returned to the Xianzhou, Elysia seemed to have hardly appeared.
Welt, who was listening to the conversation between the two, also felt goosebumps.
The two star gods were discussing matters before him, and one of them clearly stated that something had happened.
Is this... something I can hear?
"What happened?"
Liuge calmed herself down and looked at Aha.
Aha glanced at Welt and Cecilia, then slowly spoke.
"It's your fault~ Hehehe~"
"I?"
Liuge paused for a moment, then pointed to her own nose.
"Look, do you still have your Tome of Abyssal City?"
Hearing Aha's unusually serious question, Liuge felt a little uncomfortable for a moment.
However, he still checked the artifact storage section for the attribute abilities.
At first glance, I could tell something was wrong.
The item storage area is inaccessible; it feels like it's been locked.
Liu Ge looked at Aha with a puzzled Liuge.
The Tome of Abyssal City, I seem to recall, were brought by some Dimensional Piggies.
However, fearing that this thing might bring instability to the world of Honkai: Star Rail, he had kept it locked in the Oddities section of the entry.
What's going on now?
" Aha... that thing is over there!"
As he spoke, Aha pointed to the sky.
Liuge looked up, but saw nothing.
