The Whole Sect Reunites

"I highly suspect that Elysia learned various flying acrobatics."

"... Then we can only hope that your survival mechanism is very effective, teacher."

With Elysia's personality, she'd be a nightmare to anyone who tried to perform flying stunts!

"Actually, we can also trust Elysia's talent." Liu Bai felt that there was no need for such a strong reaction from Mei.

"... I'm actually more worried about that guy talking nonsense while performing his stunts." Mei couldn't help but sigh.

Watching the two chat, Vil-V couldn't help but shrug and say, "Well, they've really poached this girl. They're just moving on to a different place and a different batch of girls, huh?"

"If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute."

Liu Bai gave Vil-V a light tap on the head, clearly annoyed.

"Let's go, let's get the concept art for the Third Divine Key done tonight."

Liu Bai pushed Vil-V off the locomotive and then drove her all the way back to the laboratory.

The once noisy laboratory is now much quieter—all the other scientists are on holiday.

"However, I still have to work."

"Once you finish the concept art, no one will bother you anymore."

Liu Bai reluctantly led Vil-V to sit down.

"Let's first determine the specific scope of use..."

The following day, a transport ship slowly landed in front of the ELM building.

"Hello~~? Long time no see, Eden, have you missed me?"

"Not at all." Eden glanced helplessly at Elysia, who was dressed as a pilot and waving energetically at her.

"That's truly heartbreaking... but there's nothing I can do about it, since I stole Liu Bai away from you this time..."

Elysia looked down at the open space— Liu Bai had already thrown the contract at Elysia.

"Please don't smile when you say things like that next time."

"Sorry, sorry, I'll be more careful next time~~" Elysia playfully stuck out her tongue.

It's clear that Elysia is extremely happy today.

—But Mei's face had already darkened.

The theft and stuff... Although Eden is the one involved, Mei unexpectedly feels a sense of empathy right now.

After all, Eden, who is forever twenty years old, can fight Elysia, who is forever seventeen years old. What about her?

How should I put it? Mei thinks that, generally speaking, the possibility of Elysia taking Liu Bai away from her is far greater than the possibility of her taking Liu Bai away from Eden —the only lucky thing is that the two of them are not in an alliance.

If these two good-natured people formed an alliance, she would really only be able to squat in the corner and cry with Mobius.

After all, the alliance between these two couldn't possibly be the kind of purely unethical alliance that existed between him and Mobius, where they betrayed each other without the slightest hesitation.

"I think in order to prevent this from happening again, I might need to learn how to fight," Eden sighed.

"Haha~~ I'm not bragging, but I think you'll need some talent to beat me, Eden."

"But I didn't, right?"

Eden waved his hand, signaling Elysia to quickly disappear from his sight.

Liu Bai also exchanged a few words with Ying—actually, there was no need for that, since Liu Bai could teleport back at any time.

But since the atmosphere has reached this point, it doesn't seem right not to do something...

Anyway, after Liu Bai finished explaining the situation, Liu Bai words, "If you can't handle it, call me back," made Ying's expression quite strange.

"Alright! Dr. Mei, Liu Bai, get on board~ Elysia Flight is about to depart~!"

"Where should I even begin to criticize this?" Mei pushed up her glasses.

Even though Elysia is older than her, why does she feel like she's the old person?

Mei tried to suppress the strange feeling in her heart and boarded the transport ship with Liu Bai, then found a seat at random.

"Instead of complaining, getting used to it is the best approach—I actually quite like Elysia's personality." Liu Bai, with a true old-fashioned mindset, admitted that he did need some liveliness to balance his mood.

"... Do you know how my head spins after hearing the words 'I like it'?" Mei said with a hint of resentment. "You've never said these things to me before!"

"Beep beep beep~~ First Officer Liu Bai, please return to your post immediately~" Elysia's voice came over the transport ship's loudspeaker.

"Don't worry about that guy." Mei's expression darkened. A secret rendezvous was fine, but she hated people who used work as an excuse for secret rendezvous!

"Since they've already looked for her, I might as well go check it out. I can also keep an eye on Aili to make sure she doesn't do any fancy stunts."

Liu Bai calmed Mei down, who seemed to be having a mental breakdown, and then moved directly to Elysia's side.

Good morning, Aili.

"Good morning, Liu Bai, it's been a long time~~" Elysia smiled at Liu Bai after pressing the autopilot button.

So it's self-driving...

"Doesn't Liu Bai have anything else he wants to say?"

Elysia rested her chin on her hand, revealing the scrutinizing gaze befitting a commander.

"Liu Bai, you should think about how to say it to win the girl's heart~"

"Ah... Aili, do you have to torture my sense of shame?" Liu Bai pondered for a moment, feeling that he couldn't get over his shame. "Besides, didn't you only say 'long time no see' to me?"

"Um... cough, this is—"

"Pretty girl privileges? That kind of fooling won't work anymore, Aili."

Liu Bai immediately interrupted Elysia.

Surprisingly, their brainwaves were quite synchronized.

"If this were a dating game, Liu Bai, your nitpicking behavior could actually make you lose their favor~"

"So, you didn't just say 'long time no see'?"

Liu Bai smiled as he looked at Elysia seemed a little embarrassed.

"If this were an otome romance game, Aili, your evasive behavior could cause you to lose favor with her~"

"Waaah... Liu Bai, you've become so troublesome."

"... To be honest, I think you're more troublesome, Aili, in the amusement park, playing games that really heat up your brain."

"Hey~~ It's just shyness, why make it sound so complicated?"

"—Because ghosts don't have overheated brains," Liu Bai said calmly.

Although there might still be feelings of shame, as a ghost, reason still prevails, preventing them from being completely led by the nose like they were at the amusement park.

After all, although the amusement park is a kind of spiritual world, for Liu Bai there, the physical sensations were real... such as hormones, although Liu Bai was quite suspicious that they might be amplified emotions.

Honestly, that thing was so real as a spiritual world that it couldn't be more real. If Elysia hadn't never intended to conceal its true nature, Liu Bai wouldn't have discovered it so quickly.

Being led by hormones can really lower your IQ...

"Wow! I've found the reason why my strategy was getting stuck!"

Elysia looked shocked.

"Ah, don't make such an exaggerated expression, it looks silly."

"Really? I'm a beautiful girl, you know."

Elysia took out a small mirror and looked at herself.

"Isn't this super cute?"

"So, weight..."

"Ugh... I don't want to listen! This is just nonsense!"

Covering her ears with the small mirror, Elysia immediately covered them.

"I was just saying, I didn't expect you to actually gain weight, Aili." Liu Bai was also quite surprised. "Don't beautiful girls usually have two stomachs?"

"Um... I, I'm just good at digesting nutrients, um, I have an easily absorbed constitution!"

"This is the first time I've ever heard this word used like this."

"Liu Bai, how could you remain unmoved by a pile of beautiful and delicious desserts?!" Elysia's eyes widened. "Most people would try them, wouldn't they?!"

"Hmm... that... is true."

As a ghost described by Jackal as having "absolutely no resistance to food," Liu Bai was too embarrassed to lie.

"See! I told you Liu Bai understood me best! That Mobius guy has no girlish feelings at all! He always brings up his weight!"

Elysia was quite dissatisfied with her best friend.

However, it's understandable why Mobius reacts this way. After all, with someone who's forever seventeen and full of energy constantly around, Mobius's aggression is bound to be exceptionally high—so what if she's his best friend? It's precisely because she's his best friend that he should attack her so fiercely!

"So, the data is?"

"Bust, waist, and hip measurements are a beautiful girl's secret!" Elysia crossed her arms and made a big X.

"No, I just want to ask about the weight."

"That would be even worse! Weight is a no-go zone for beautiful girls!"

"Hmm...56?"

Liu Bai stroked his chin and looked Aili up and down.

Aili's figure is roughly a combination of Rita and Bianka. Rita weighs about 56kg (112 pounds), which is very well-proportioned for Rita 1.68m height.

"It's not that heavy! Liu Bai, you can round down the single digits and then subtract a little more!"

"... Do you think I'm stupid?"

"Playing dumb is an essential part of winning over girls!"

"Hmm... so that means fifty-four?" Liu Bai estimated another number—actually, for Liu Bai, 54 and 56 made no difference; both were healthy weights.

However, Liu Bai also understood that even 0.1 was enough to drive women crazy.

"Well, it's still a bit heavy, but it's about right. I won't hold it against Liu Bai for his impulsive act of kissing you~"

It seems they underestimated it this time, meaning it's between 54 and 56... Liu Bai subconsciously thought, looking at Elysia's seemingly satisfied expression.

Chapter 379 All Sect Members Gather

"Ugh... Seeing Liu Bai's pensive expression when he kisses you is really uncomfortable. Are you thinking about something rude?"

Elysia gave a subtle expression.

"No, of course not, how could that be?" Liu Bai denied it three times without batting an eye.

"There's absolutely no credibility to this..." Elysia always trusted her girlish intuition. "Oh well, let's just say that's how it is~ By the way, are you satisfied with my gift, Liu Bai? If you are, remember to leave a good review, darling~~"

Ah...

This is a difficult question to answer.

After all, he had just obtained a physical body and went to be with Rita...

"It's... it's fine."

Liu Bai replied somewhat vaguely, "Five-star review, of course it's a five-star review."

"Hmm... the feeling of guilt."

Elysia stroked her chin, a thoughtful expression on her face.

"You're not a husky, stop being so fussy."

Liu Bai patted Elysia's head.

It wasn't that he wanted to hide it from Elysia, but rather that he really didn't know how to bring it up.

I feel incredibly awkward no matter how I try to start a conversation.

"By the way, how's Mobius been lately?"
