Lilith's Moves Are Beyond You
Under the moonlight, the two strolled hand in hand in the garden.
"I wish these peaceful moments could last a little longer," Elysia said softly.
"Until the Eighth Herrscher incident, people's lives were basically peaceful, right?" Zhu Yufeng thought for a moment and then said, "Even when the Seventh Herrscher burned down the Australia continent, the Honkai was still not exposed to most people. I think our lives fighting against the Honkai were still relatively peaceful. There was no oppressive atmosphere, and everyone was full of confidence in defeating the Honkai. As warriors, we just accepted the mission and went to the designated location to clear the Honkai. When you see these things as daily life, there's nothing special about them."
"That's not what I meant..." Elysia looked at Zhu Yufeng with some helplessness and said, "You already promised Kevin that after the Fourth Herrscher incident, you would arrange for someone to bring Lilith back. Do you think the remaining time is a long time for me?"
That's Lilith!
That woman who dared to forcibly kiss Feng after only a short time meeting her! And if Feng hadn't confessed, they would all have been fooled by Lilith's acting skills!
The Fourth Herrscher incident... If it's released at the same time as before, she'll only have less than ten months left... Just imagining Lilith Fire Moth makes Elysia feel guilty.
Well... although Zhu Yufeng has stated that he and Lilith have never been in a romantic relationship, Zhu Yufeng has also admitted that he has feelings for Lilith... It feels like I stole someone else's boyfriend...
Zhu Yufeng remained silent.
Well... less than ten months, which isn't a long time, but it's not short either.
"I really don't know how I endured it back then. I could only see you a few times a month. The rest of the time you were traveling all over the world with Lilith..." Elysia said, looking at Zhu Yufeng.
"Is it because I lost it and then got it back that I'm worried about losing it again?" Zhu Yufeng thought. "After all, in my previous life, after the Eighth Herrscher incident, the frequency and time I met with Elysia did decrease significantly."
He looked at Elysia: "Even if Lilith comes back, it won't be like it was in the last life, right?"
"What will happen after Lilith comes back? Feng, do you really not know?" Elysia asked, looking at Zhu Yufeng with narrowed eyes.
Zhu Yufeng thought about it seriously for a moment, then said somewhat uncertainly, "Maybe... it will have some impact..."
Elysia looked away and said, "I'm suddenly curious, how did Lilith treat you in your previous life?"
If possible, she felt she could learn a thing or two from them.
Who could possibly have managed to raise the emotional intelligence of Lilith, who is even more densely blockheaded than Kevin, so much?
Zhu Yufeng squinted at Elysia and said, "Give up, Elysia, you can't learn this."
You think you can't see through her thoughts? And frankly speaking, Elysia has high attack and zero defense in certain situations, is really not suitable for learning Lilith's kind of operation.
"How am I supposed to know I can't learn it if you don't tell me?" Elysia said matter-of-factly. Since she'd been seen through, she wasn't going to pretend anymore.
"Then... would you dare to sneak into my bed in the middle of the night?" Zhu Yufeng looked like he was recalling some unpleasant experience, with a headache on his face. He thought, "Elysia wouldn't learn this, would she?"
Elysia's eye twitched, then as if she had just thought of something, she stared at Zhu Yufeng and said, "Feng, you didn't say anything to her, did you?"
Snuggling into someone's bed, at the very least, means sleeping with the other person; but Lilith's case is...
All I can say is that she truly lives up to Lilith's reputation.
"Because Vill-V had planted a surveillance camera in my room, she didn't succeed," Zhu Yufeng replied. "Later, I also had Xila keep an eye on her, so this was the only time."
Elysia breathed a sigh of relief, then realized something was wrong. "Wait a minute, Maple, as a Fusion Warrior, you shouldn't be completely oblivious to someone approaching..."
Her voice trailed off as Elysia suddenly remembered that Mobius had said Zhu Yufeng was only able to fall asleep thanks to a specially formulated sedative she had developed. At that time, Zhu Yufeng... probably really couldn't sense anyone approaching.
"I'm sorry," she said softly.
"There's no need to apologize. I don't shy away from this kind of thing," Zhu Yufeng said with a smile.
"You don't care, but I do," Elysia said, looking into Zhu Yufeng's eyes. "That kind of emotion, that kind of pain... Just because you say you don't mind or hide it doesn't mean I, and everyone else, won't care. I think that's why this time, almost everyone is working together to stop you from bearing everything alone."
Zhu Yufeng paused for a moment, then smiled helplessly, "Really... I just can't do anything with you guys..."
"So, this time, don't always think about going alone. If you have any problems, you can tell us... at least tell me, okay?" Elysia asked.
Zhu Yufeng smiled and said, "Okay."
"So, before the return to the past, what else did Lilith do... some rather outrageous things?" Elysia asked after carefully considering her words.
Zhu Yufeng sighed, looking utterly dejected, and said, "Leaving aside how many times she tried to drug me, there were a few times when the team went to the hot springs, even though the men and women were separated, she still managed to find a way to get to me..."
Elysia: "..."
This... drugged you?! And you even went to a hot spring together?!
Elysia thought about it for a moment. As for the idea of sneaking into Maple's bed... it didn't seem like it was impossible to try... No, forget it. Putting aside the fact that she already knew that Vill-V had installed surveillance cameras in Maple's room, just sleeping with Maple... seemed a bit too early... Besides, she had some sleeping habits... it would really be embarrassing!
As for drugging and soaking in hot springs together...
If it were just her and Feng, then soaking in the hot spring together wouldn't be a problem, right... although there might be some shyness or something... Drugging him is out of the question, what's the point of such methods? What she wants is Feng's affection.
Speaking of which... the Lilith that Feng mentioned seems to be quite different from the one she knows and the Lilith in the public eye.
"There are many other things I don't really want to mention." Zhu Yufeng rubbed his forehead. "Lilith ... how should I put it... she has absolutely no girl's modesty or anything in this regard. I've basically never seen her be embarrassed. So I don't think we can take her actions as a reference."
Then he added, "Besides, Lilith is Lilith, and you are you. Why should you imitate her?"
"I just want to know how she acted before," Elysia shrugged. "If I could learn from her, I don't think it's impossible, but right now it seems that being yourself is the best approach, isn't it?"
Zhu Yufeng remained silent. He had said something similar to Lilith they broke up, and the direct result was that Lilith let herself go. Before that, Lilith had actually been consciously or unconsciously imitating Elysia.
Speaking of which, after the Fourth Herrscher incident, when he received Lilith, he thought it was an optimistic estimate. He was worried that Lilith might one day feel that she hadn't seen him for too long and blow up her house in advance to Fire Moth. Since it was Lilith, Zhu Yufeng wouldn't be surprised if she really did such a thing.
"Alright, it's getting late, let's call it a day, time to head back~" Elysia said, glancing at the time. "Although reminiscing about the past is inevitably a little sad, overall, I had a very happy day~"
She smiled and said to Zhu Yufeng, "On the way back, please hold my hand like this the whole time, okay?"
"... Although I won't refuse, I still want to ask, do I have the option to refuse?"
No, not at all.
Disaster's room.
Disaster read through the Fire Moth's internal management manual several times, then muttered to herself with a puzzled look, "The Fire Moth... doesn't have a rule against early dating, right? Who told Amo that?"
