Obtaining Eden, the Giant Whale and White Dragon Dance Together (Continued)
Eden's cheeks flushed instantly.
The golden wine glass in her hand fell, but Bai Ge easily caught it. The young man shook it slightly and drank it down. It was clearly a rare and exquisite wine, but it didn't taste "delicious" at all to the person in front of him.
Bai Ge wasn't stupid; how could he not see that Eden had fallen for him?
All the treasures in this Golden Courtyard combined are not as valuable as Eden himself.
Bai Ge has already won Eden's heart.
"Eden, I want you to sing only for me tonight."
"Yes, it's my honor, Bai."
Eden, still savoring the wine, pressed her lips to Bai Ge's. Bai Ge reciprocated, and the two embraced, kissing each other in this artistic courtyard, exchanging and accepting each other's feelings.
Eden felt his heart pounding wildly, so happy he couldn't express it in words. His feelings had been accepted by Bai Ge, and his love had received a definite response.
At this moment Eden was as happy as a naive and innocent young girl. She raised her hand and hugged Bai Ge's neck, expressing her feelings with a kiss, though she was both eager and clumsy.
"Bai, please don't pity me."
"That won't do, it'll break."
Bai Ge handled Eden with the utmost care, as if she were the finest porcelain, fearing she might use too much force. But there was nothing he could do, for this beauty was indeed both beautiful and fragile.
Right now, she's just an ordinary person.
However, Eden stubbornly shook her head; the wine called love had already clouded her judgment.
"It's okay, I don't mind if it breaks."
Right now, she only has one thought.
That would be to simply drown in Bai Ge's arms.
With his fragile mortal body, he challenged the might of the savior before him.
Bai Ge raised an eyebrow, not expecting Eden to say such a thing, but he couldn't deny that he was indeed somewhat excited.
Although saying this doesn't fit his Bai, destroying beautiful things can bring a unique kind of pleasure, and it's hard to find anything more beautiful than Eden in this world.
Bai Ge couldn't help but feel an inexplicable curiosity.
He was curious to see just how beautiful the destruction would be if he ruined the supreme work of art called Eden, at the cost of this peerless singer.
It's okay, we've already got permission anyway.
Don't worry, I'll be very careful while playing.
I randomly picked a vinyl record from Eden's collection and put it in the record player. Then, to the accompaniment of this classical and beautiful melody, the figures of Bai Ge and Eden overlapped in the candlelight.
At noon the next day.
The once magnificent Golden Courtyard was now a mess, with countless precious and expensive works of art lying on the ground and broken.
Preliminary estimates suggest that Eden lost at least one billion dollars due to the madness and debauchery of last night.
But this is nothing to mention; for this super-rich woman, it's a pittance that can be described as "insignificant." The happiness she experiences in comparison is something that no amount of money can buy.
Eden opened her eyes with difficulty, as if even the simple act of opening her eyes was a great effort for her. Then, this disheveled but still beautiful singer uttered her first words of the day.
"I will definitely, absolutely must become Fusion Warrior!"
I am too fragile; this weak body simply cannot make those beautiful moments linger.
"Don't worry, I've prepared it for you."
Bai Ge raised his hand to touch Eden's head in his arms, and took out a glass jar containing materials from a certain Honkai Beast from the Imaginary Space. It was something that could be mistaken for a gemstone.
"The Emperor-class Vorona is the most dazzling Honkai Beast I have ever seen, and it is most suitable for Eden."
"Thank you, this is the best gift."
Eden held him in his arms, his face filled with anticipation.
Last night was absolutely wonderful.
She had to admit that she had been superficial in the past, believing that the spiritual and soul-stirring joy brought by music far surpassed that of the physical.
But Eden had already changed his mind, only to find that his mortal body made the beautiful time incredibly short.
Because Eden declared that he would no longer be a mortal!
However, just as the two were about to savor the pleasure of the previous night a little longer, a sudden sound of the door being broken down came from that moment.
"In vain--!"
"Bai Ge—!"
"Damn it, it's too late!"
"Alas, it's too late."
Several beautiful figures broke into a private residence and entered the Golden Courtyard.
Upon seeing the boy and the songstress lying on the luxurious double bed, the Pink Fairy, the pink Fox Spirit, the green snake spirit, and a large fluttering moth collectively let out a mournful cry of resentment.
Elysia, Sakura, Mobius, Aponia all had dark circles under their eyes, and their gazes were unfriendly as they looked at Eden was currently looking happy and sweet.
They were looking forward to it all night, but who would have thought that Eden would snatch it away first!
"Hi everyone, good morning. By the way, Dr. Mobius, could I ask you for a favor later?"
Eden blinked and smiled; she had regained her composure and elegance.
"Huh? You want my help?"
Mobius was taken aback, wondering if he hadn't made his killing intent obvious enough, or if celebrities just have such strong resilience under pressure.
"Yes, you can help me with the Hypermutation Surgery. As for the materials, Bai has already found them for me."
"Eden, do you think I would agree?!"
"Snakey said through gritted teeth."
Does Mobius seem like such a kind person? Would she do something as stupid as helping her rival increase his fighting power and resources?
However, Eden simply smiled and raised one finger.
"I will pay 100 million for the surgery."
"Eden, who do you think you are!"
"1 billion."
Eden raised two fingers and crossed them.
"So what if you have money! There are so many things in this world that money can't buy!"
"10 billion euros, plus a bonus of 1 billion euros invested in you every month in the future, how about that?"
"That's it? Do you think I, Mobius, am that kind of person? You think you can bribe me with a mere sum of money? Hmph! I'll do it! But don't get me wrong, I just want to use the new material to perform a surgery. After all, Bai Ge's Chimera Project requires a lot of data!"
Mobius crossed his arms and said stubbornly.
"...x3"
Elysia, Sakura, Aponia watched speechlessly as the Snakey succumbed to money.
I just felt that this person was beyond saving.
(Damn it, do you think I wanted this?! But that bastard May has cut my budget again! I haven't paid Klein's salary for three months, you know that!)
Mobius glared back defiantly.
In my heart, I was thinking, "All you know is fighting and praying. How could you possibly understand the suffering of a researcher like me!"
Do you know how difficult my life is right now?
Now I have to eat one cup of instant noodles in three separate meals!
(Seriously, where did that girl Vill-V get her sponsorship? She's giving me whatever she asks for, it's so enviable!)
When Mobius thought of a genius with multiple personalities, he was instantly consumed by jealousy.
After her funding was cut again, she finally couldn't take it anymore and confronted May, one of her questions being why she was cut so badly while Vill-V got away scot-free.
However, May's answer was that the Moth Chasing Fire had never paid Vill-V any money beyond her salary, and her salary was only three times higher Mobius's.
(Mobius: "Damn it! Why?!")
After learning that Vill-V's privileged lifestyle was entirely due to the unlimited sponsorship of a mysterious tycoon, Snakey was so envious that she Artificial Herrscher Form. When she got back, she couldn't accept it even after popping a whole box of bubble wrap.
"Eden! Did you have a good time last night?" the Pink Fairy Lady asked with a dark face, a large tic-tac-toe mark above her head.
"Well, all I can say is that I wish time could stand still, Aili."
"I'm unfollowing you!"
Elysia stomped her feet in anger. She was about to become Eden's little black devil. Yesterday, the Pink Fairy Lady had dressed up in a super cute outfit and waited all night, only to be cheated on with a hat.
The thought of turning into the Green Fairy Miss again made Elysia think, "Anyone can have this!"
Eden lay down peacefully, looking as if to say, "Go ahead and be angry, I've already had my fill and enjoyed myself."
(Oh dear, is this what women's war is like? Sigh~ As the one who sparked it, I guess I'd better not speak up carelessly.)
