Elysia Isn't Dead!! (Continued)

He immediately realized that this person was probably not just an ordinary person who was lost in the Sea of Quantum. How could an ordinary person have the ability to open a passage back to their Prime World? This was something that even he, Kai Aotian, could not do.

"Never mind, it's an opportunity for me too."

Kevin immediately stepped forward, ready to burst into the passage with a burst of speed, still holding a freshly torn package of instant noodles in his hand.

Even though he had to hold the instant noodles in one hand and his own energy was running low, Kevin was still invincible in the world. In 1.5 seconds, no, not even 0.5 seconds, he could rush in before Bai Ge closed the passage.

Bai Ge: "Don't come any closer!!"

(What to do, what to do, what to do! Why did this thing come back?! No, the thing to think about now is how to stop this monster, we have to make it stop!)

Bai Ge broke out in a cold sweat. Various options flashed through his mind, only to be rejected by himself in an instant.

All available abilities have been used, but none of them are enough to stop the Flame-Chasers before him.

The only thing he can still do now is speak.

You have to say something that will instantly shut down Kevin Kaslana's brain.

"Elysia is not dead!!!"

As Bai Ge roared out those words, Kevin's pupils dilated instantly.

"What?!!"

He almost fell to the ground while maintaining his forward leaning posture, but he regained his footing in the next second, which bought Bai Ge enough time.

"Now!"

"Wait! Don't go!"

Seeing that the two had already run into the passage and that the passage itself was rapidly closing, Kevin burst forth at top speed and rushed over, but it was already too late.

Kevin reached out to stop the closing passage, but just as his fingertips were half a centimeter away from the vortex, the path back to his Prime World was completely shut down.

Kevin: "..."

... On the other side of the Prime World...

At Mei's house.

Bai Ge carried Seele and ran out breathlessly. Because he was at Mei's house when he entered the Sea of Quantum, he simply set the coordinates for his return there as well.

"We're back?"

"Yeah, we're back. Phew~ almost got it shipped."

"..."

Seele stared blankly at her surroundings, still in shock and not yet recovered.

From the moment Bai Ge used the excuse of wanting to be intimate with her to make Kevin withdraw his senses, to the subsequent life-or-death race back to their Prime World, it only took less than five seconds.

At this moment, Dark Seele's personality has been offline, and White Seele's personality has been re-launched.

"Bai Ge Dad, what exactly is this?"

"I don't know how to explain this to you, Seele, but in short, we absolutely cannot let Kevin Kaslana return to the Prime World right now."

"... Although Seele doesn't quite understand, there must be a reason why Bai Ge Dad did this."

She turned to look out the window.

Looking at the bright sunshine and bustling streets outside, Seele was somewhat dazed, wondering if she had really returned to her original world? Not the World Bubble, but the real original world?

She didn't feel much, probably because besides Bai Ge, she didn't know anyone else well.

Seele doesn't know much about Changkong City. She'll only feel like she's home if she returns to the Hearth Home.

"By the way, who is Elysia that Bai Ge Dad mentioned earlier? Is she your friend?"

Seele was curious and nervous about the woman's name that Bai had called out at the most crucial moment.

Bai Ge froze for a moment, then spoke after a brief silence.

"What you just said was a lie."

"A lie? Could it be that the person you're talking about has already..."

"No, I will make this lie the truth."

Bai Ge said with an unwavering expression.

He dislikes lying, especially this kind of lie.

But a man's words cannot be taken back, so since that's the case... let it become the truth, then it won't be considered a lie.

Seele stared blankly at the person in front of her, still reeling from the shock that her father would lie.

But when she heard Bai Ge that he was going to turn the lie into the truth, the girl's gaze softened involuntarily.

Seele just felt that these words were very much in line with this person's style.

"Huh? Bai Ge, you're finally back."

"Mei, can you walk now?"

"... It's been three days already, there's no problem."

Mei walked over, her cheeks slightly flushed. Upon hearing Bai Ge's words, she subconsciously quickened her pace with her long legs. After all, she now possessed the physique of Herrscher, and her recovery ability was quite substantial.

"Um, speaking of this outfit, did you run out of battery?"

"Wh-what?"

"It's nothing, just a bit novel."

Bai Ge looked Mei up and down. She wasn't dressed as the Herrscher of Thunder, but as the [Shadow Dancer of Judgment] from the game. This armor was commonly known as the "no power mode".

"After all, the image of Herrscher is a bit exaggerated, so I wanted to change it to a more relaxed look, and this is what happened... I can change it if you don't like it."

"No, it suits you very well, I like it very much, and Mei, you look good in anything."

Bai Ge said with a smile, and Raiden Mei also showed a relieved expression after hearing his praise.

"By the way, St. Freya Academy is urging us to go and report as soon as possible. Kiana called more than a dozen times yesterday to ask when we're going."

Tell them I've finished what I needed to do here and can go over today.

"Huh? Isn't Bai Ge Dad going back to Hearth Home?"

Upon hearing that Bai was not going back to the orphanage but instead going to a place she had never heard of, Seele panicked and quickly asked.

Bai Ge raised his hand and patted the girl's head to comfort her.

"I will go back, but not now. I'm sorry, Seele, I have other things I need to do. I have to say goodbye to my peaceful life for now. After all, the Honkai is not Honkai, so how can I have a home? There are still a lot of troubles waiting for me in the future."

"Then, then Seele wants to go with you too!"

"Great! I was going to invite you too, and your Sister Bronya has already gone."

"Really? That's great."

Upon hearing that Bronya was also at that academy, Seele immediately looked relieved.

With that, she had nothing to worry about. The two most important people, no, all three of them, were by her side, so wherever she went from now on, it would be home for Seele.

Moreover, the word "academy" filled Seele with longing, as Bai Ge was the one who taught them at the Hearth Home.

Although those times were wonderful, she would still like to go to a real school to learn if possible.

Bai Ge gave this a thumbs up.

With Seele's diligence and hard work, she'll definitely leave that lazy, good-for -Kiana far behind.

"I haven't introduced her yet. This is Mei, Raiden Mei, my important girlfriend."

"Mei, this is Seele Fleur, my adopted daughter like Bronya. Ah, you can't call me Dad anymore, since I'm only a year or two older than Seele now."

"...x2"

Mei and Seele looked at each other and greeted each other somewhat awkwardly. Although it was obvious that they were both kind and gentle people, their positions and identities were quite subtle.

"Bai Ge Dad's girlfriend? Huh?! No, no way, Dark Seele, what should we do?"

(Silly Seele, it's all your fault for being too slow! I told you to eat this person up earlier back at Hearth Home, but you wouldn't listen. Now look what happened, another woman beat you to it!)

In the mental space, Dark Seele gritted her teeth and spoke with great resentment, her initial affection for Mei plummeting.

Given her volatile and manic personality, she was already considering whether to take action at this point.

However, the aura of the Herrscher of Thunder emanating from Mei at that moment made Dark Seele realize that she might not be able to defeat her, which made her even angrier.

(It's okay! There's still a chance! As long as we haven't gotten the marriage certificate, there's still a chance. In fact, things are progressing favorably for us now. Don't forget that our father is almost the same age as us.)

"Yes, yes, and they also said we can't call him Dad anymore, boohoo, it's a bit hard to call him that."

Seele's little face showed a troubled expression. She was used to calling Bai Ge" Daddy" and now that she was suddenly asked to change this habit, she felt uncomfortable.

But it would be a lie to say I'm unhappy.

Looking at Bai, who seemed to be only 18 years old, Seele felt incredibly curious. She kept her eyes fixed on Bai Ge and couldn't bear to look away for even a second.

Although being a daughter is already a blessing, one must still have ambition. The long-cherished wish of all the girls in the Hearth Home, "to marry Bai Ge Dad in the future," has finally become a possibility!

(Seele, I suggest you hurry up this time. Our good sister Bronya is probably already on the track. We really can't fall behind this time.)

"What? Sister Bronya too?"
