Elysia, You Wouldn't Want To...

Aponia looked at the two naked people in front of her, then looked away with a rare hint of shyness.

After all, it's quite remarkable that Aponia was able to remain calm and collected in this situation, unlike Su.

Even setting aside factors other than feelings, the way these two are acting right now is rather indecent—though it could also be interpreted as romantic.

It must be emphasized that, given the posture of these two people, if others saw it, it would be incredibly difficult. Only Aponia was able to remain calm and even gently ask these two people if they needed a little more time.

The reason Aponia entered instead of someone else was mainly because Aponia possessed mental healing abilities... If Midoro hadn't enhanced her original talent, it might have been Mei or Mobius who entered using the Eighth Divine Key.

In a sense, Elysia also narrowly escaped the death deadline.

"No need, no need."

Elysia instantly changed her outfit. Now that things had come to this point, how could she continue?

The happy time has lasted long enough, and it's a bit of a shame to end it here, but... well, continuing might have made things even worse.

Liu Bai then followed Elysia's lead and changed his outfit with a single click, while simultaneously calling out "Su" towards the door.

"Teacher, are you done on your end?"

Su came in from outside with a lingering fear in his eyes. He had figured out the truth of the matter during the time he was away, so he couldn't help but feel a little resentful.

While your students Kevin and I may have some bias towards your teacher's wife, to be honest, we are both indifferent in this regard. If you want to do this with Elysia... cough, Elysia, just say so. Your students Kevin and I will definitely support you unconditionally. Anyway, it doesn't matter much who your teacher's wife is to us.

If you tell me, I might even team up with Kevin to delay it a bit longer so you can have your fun. That would be a way of showing filial piety.

As a result, you didn't say anything, and we were completely kept in the dark. I was so shocked when I walked in!

I almost thought I was going to make an enemy of my master's wife and then be killed to silence me!

Su's resentful look made Liu Bai feel a little guilty.

At the same time, Liu Bai also felt a little wronged.

In reality, Aili and I only did it for half a day... but in Su's eyes, she must have thought that Aili and I had been partying day and night for a whole week.

Well, this kind of thing is really like mud stuck in your pants—it's hard to explain.

"Ahem, Su, please understand, please understand."

"Please, please understand my heart... I'm not that monster Kevin."

The usually gentle and refined Su was now filled with lingering fear. If he hadn't reacted quickly, everyone would have been in a terrible situation!

"Ahem, next time, next time for sure." Liu Bai looked at Su Yue, feeling increasingly embarrassed.

After all, these are only two of her students' little darlings... oh, if you include Gretel, then there are three.

You should at least try to be understanding.

"Next time... okay, next time you must remember to say that Kevin and I will cover for you."

Honestly, if it weren't for the shocking part, this would have been a great topic of gossip. But after this incident, I have absolutely no desire for gossip; I just want to distance myself from it.

Incidentally, Su actually wanted to ask who the next one was, but seeing Elysia, she decisively gave up the idea.

Asking who the next person is in front of the teacher's wife is a bit disrespectful.

Well... it's just that Su didn't hear Elysia's invitation to Aponia just now, otherwise she definitely wouldn't have had this thought.

"So... we're leaving?" Su glanced at the people present. "Master's wife, do you want to come up with an excuse first?"

"Just don't call me 'Master's Wife' in front of others, and leave the rest to me."

Elysia patted her chest.

Isn't it just chatting idly with everyone? She's especially good at that!

Chapter 423 Aili, you didn't want this either...

"Aili, you mean you were pulled into the mental space, and although you successfully destroyed the Eighth Herrscher, you're stuck inside because you don't know how to get out?"

Mei gave a strange look.

Well... this reason is ridiculous, but if you think about it carefully, it actually makes some sense.

After all, Elysia was pulled in by the Eighth Herrscher, not by herself. Isn't it normal for someone to be forcibly pulled in and not be able to find a way out?

Yes, that's really normal. At least Mei couldn't find a point of rebuttal for the time being. This explanation makes sense. Mei can't expect someone like Elysia, who has no mental abilities, to easily escape from the mental world, right?

Even the Zeroth Herrscher isn't omnipotent.

"Is that so, Sue?"

Mei felt that something was still off, so she turned to Su for confirmation.

"That's how it is." Su nodded calmly.

At this point, saying too much is bound to make mistakes. Learning from Kevin and putting on a cool and aloof face is one way to go.

Mei stared at Su for a while, then looked away. In her eyes, Su, her junior brother, was a very reliable person and shouldn't be lying to her.

"So... was this all a misunderstanding?" Mei was a little annoyed, feeling that all her hard work this week had been for nothing. She should have just forcibly awakened Aili. "But speaking of which, teacher, did you and Aili do anything this week?"

"What do you think I would do with Aili?"

"..."

After a brief silence, Mei nodded and looked away.

That's true, it's just the mental world, what could possibly happen? At most, it's just a period of time for the two of them.

With Aili's fighting ability, a week of alone time for just the two of them doesn't seem to matter much.

Well, let alone the spiritual world of two people.

"It's good that nothing was done."

Nice! You got away with it!

Elysia, Liu Bai, and Su were all secretly delighted.

Of course, on the surface, the three of them maintained excellent control over their expressions.

Only Mobius, standing next to him, tilted his head slightly, looking somewhat suspicious.

It's alright, it's just suspicion. To be honest, even Mei, who's nodding in agreement right now, probably has some doubts herself. As long as she hasn't discovered the problem, it's fine.

"Teacher, please get back to work. I've been quite overwhelmed while you were gone."

Mei didn't directly address the issue of interpersonal relationships, since interpersonal relationships had become strained after Liu Bai left, and such a statement was somewhat disheartening.

Although it was just a side effect of everyone's low spirits, a lack of discipline is a lack of discipline, and that fact cannot be denied.

Without their own mentor, the entire Moth Chasers to Fire's upper echelons would probably only operate at 80% of normal speed... The data alone is enough to drive Mei crazy.

The work efficiency of top-level elites has been cut by 20% out of nowhere! 20%! From a holistic perspective, that's absolutely disastrous!

So even though this request might seem inconsiderate of her teacher, who had just emerged from her mental turmoil, Mei still had to make it.

Liu Bai naturally wouldn't refuse such a thing... Anyway, he had a real week of fun, and he had rested when he needed to, and there was even a suspicion that he had overdone it.

"Then, Aili, why don't you come to my lab for a check-up? After all, you've been in the mental world for a week, and there might be some aftereffects," Mobius suddenly said. "If Liu Bai isn't in a hurry, he can come too. I'm quite curious about how the Eighth Herrscher was able to pull you into Aili's mental world."

"Of course." Elysia nodded frankly to Mobius.

Mei glanced at Mobius upon hearing Mobius words.

It seems Mobius is planning to re-examine these two people... Mei, of course, doesn't care about such things.

After all, Mobius and Elysia are best friends, and there's no need for Mebius to be as reserved as Alicia when they're "interrogating" each other in private.

Liu Bai nodded as well. He didn't care about such things. Anyway, everyone had already prepared their statements. If they asked Aponia and Su, they might be able to get something out of them. But just taking Aili and Liu Bai over... as long as those two didn't lose their minds, there was absolutely no way there would be any problems.

Mei then got up and left, while Mobius made a copy of a document on the printer and then gestured for Liu Bai and Elysia to follow him.

The three of them returned to Mobius's laboratory in silence.

"Ah, Aili, and the big boss~ you're finally back!"

The three of them were spotted by Danzhu as soon as they entered the door. Danzhu immediately broke into a bright smile when she saw Liu Bai and Aili.

Thank goodness, those two gentlemen are finally back, and I no longer have to put up with Dr. Mobius, who is becoming somewhat neurotic due to his low mood.

If Mobius continues to be this neurotic, then she might really be planning to run away with her sister—although reading about love gossip is entertaining, listening to a nearly 40-year-old woman nagging is a different story...

Welcome back, welcome back!

Danzhu's shout drew everyone's attention, and they all greeted Aili and Liu Bai.

Mobius's face darkened even more.

"Danzhu, you're daydreaming at work, or you'll lose your paycheck for today."

"Huh!?" Danzhu was confused by Mobius's words.

"What? You noticed it but no one else did? What are you trying to argue about?"

"..." Danzhu stared at Mobius in silence. "Doctor, are you on drugs?"

What do you mean I was daydreaming? Don't even mention me, isn't it normal for my sister and me to daydream while doing this kind of paperwork?

You're distracted even when you come here!

In the entire lab, only Klein and Blanca are seriously doing their paperwork! Everyone else is just spacing out! Can you please stop being so righteous?

"Okay, one day's wages it is."

Danzhu was just a little puzzled by Mobius's attitude. As for salary, Danzhu really didn't care. She wasn't like her older sister, who was a little money-grubber. Danzhu wasn't stingy with money—as long as she had enough to buy figurines and a month's worth of instant noodles, that was fine.

To put it even more bluntly, Danzhu didn't work for Mobius because of the money—nor for any grand ideals.

Danzhu just wanted to watch Mobius's romantic comedy from a VIP seat...

Of course, this reason absolutely cannot be known to Mobius, otherwise Danzhu will really be kicked out—and then he won't have a VIP position anymore!

Well, this is the current working situation of Danzhu and even Cangxuan. These two are not like-minded with Mobius at all. To be honest, they are actually like-minded but not like-minded. The only reason they stay here is to watch Mobius make a fool of himself, in addition to their good personal relationship.

To put it bluntly, what makes Mobius so deserving of two scholars whose abilities are almost on par with Einstein's as his deputies? Even Einstein didn't receive that treatment!

Let's forget about the favor Mobius gave them in the past. Now these two are capable and experienced enough to start their own businesses, but they still choose to stay in this lab and slack off, isn't that why?

Oh, and starting your own business means you can't slack off as much as you want, that's probably another reason.

Danzhu remained silent on the surface, but inwardly he had already begun to pay close attention.

Liu Bai, Elysia, Mobius —if you lose, nothing will happen if these three get together. Danzhu will be the first to disbelieve that.

It's obvious that a good show is about to begin!

"...You guys, get out of here first," Mobius said coldly to his assistants.

"Okay." Blanca got up without asking any questions, while Klein quickly stamped two more seals before slowly standing up.

As for Danzhu and Cangxuan...

Why aren't you two moving?

"Report! Doctor! My leg is numb!" Danzhu said confidently, as if her leg really was numb.

"I've never seen someone with numb legs speak with such a strong voice! Get lost!"

Mobius glared fiercely at Danzhu, then looked at Cangxuan.

"And Cangxuan, your legs are numb too?"

"... No." Seeing that there was absolutely no chance of him taking advantage of the situation, Cangxuan could only helplessly get up and leave with Danzhu.

"Sis, what do you think they're going to be doing in the lab?"

After the group left, Danzhu asked her sister with a gossipy look on her face.

"... Perhaps it's something unsuitable for children?" After a brief moment of thought, Cangxuan's face showed interest. "Maybe when we get back, the lab will be filled with a strange smell."

"Oh...!" Danzhu looked extremely interested.

As a seasoned homebody, Danzhu was naturally familiar with Se Se, but as for Se Se... well, she had absolutely no experience with her.

"... Aren't you two thinking a little too outrageous?"

Klein couldn't stand listening to their conversation anymore; what was all that rambling about?

Does my PhD student seem like the type to mess around in the lab...? Well, he does seem to be.

Even though no one answered Klein fell silent after asking the question.
