Lilith: Keeping Everyone in the Palm of Her Hand

Hen hugged Griseo and stared blankly at the people in front of him. No, he had only told Elysia and Feng about this, so why were Pardo and Lilith here?

Zhu Yufeng squinted at Hen, and he knew that Hen wanted him to help take care of the child...

Even as the leader of Fallen Angel, Julius still has to take care of his children.

However, it would be better to answer Hen's question for now, so Zhu Yufeng said, "We met on the way. Lilith needed to familiarize herself with some places at the Fire Moth headquarters, so she came along. As for Pardo, you didn't tell me what you wanted me to do for you. Pardo can take care of children too."

Last time, Griseo really liked Pardo's tail.

Henxu stared at Zhu Yufeng, he didn't believe that Zhu Yufeng still didn't know what he was up to even at this point. He had gone to great lengths to bring Griseo out without his wife knowing. And even if he hadn't told Zhu Yufeng beforehand, Elysia must have told him beforehand, right?

Then Hen looked at Elysia.

"Lilith's next day. Kevin gave Lilith the key to Maple's room," Elysia explained somewhat speechlessly. Did she have a way to get rid of Lilith? Did she? Anyway, she had already prepared for Lilith to be with the baby next day. Putting everything else aside, Lilith dared to abandon everything for a consciousness binding last time, and now that Lilith had joined the Fire Moth, it would be strange if she didn't try to appear next to Maple.

The only thing Elysia didn't expect was Kevin's backstabbing...

Mark. "..."

He actually thought so highly of Kevin, but who knew this kid was a potential Feng-Lilith Faction! Kevin is the enemy!

"By the way, where did Kevin go? I don't think I've seen him around," Zhu Yufeng said.

"Speaking of Kevin, he should be shopping with Dr. Mei or something right now, right?" Lilith said, looking like she was reminiscing. "When he gave me the keys yesterday, he mentioned that he was going shopping with Dr. Mei tomorrow. It seems like it was Dr. Mei suggested it."

Zhu Yufeng & Elysia: "???"

Would Mei really bring up something like this? Is this still the Mei they know?

Hen was also somewhat surprised. He had met Dr. Mei a few times. That young man, whose research attitude was comparable to Mobius's, seemed like the kind of person who would never take the initiative to suggest going shopping with her boyfriend, right? No, rather, how did Kevin manage to hit it off with Dr. Mei?

Anyway, I haven't seen any interactions between these two young lovers.

But it doesn't matter, even if there are more people, he believes that little Griseo will not let him down! Go for it, little Griseo, the hopes of the Ayaka fans are on you!

Griseo looked up at Hen, then looked at Zhu Yufeng and reached out her hand.

Zhu Yufeng: "..."

Okay.

Zhu Yufeng took Griseo from Hen's hands. Hen patted Zhu Yufeng's shoulder and said earnestly, "Although fighting the Honkai is important, young people should also consider their own feelings. I have other things to take care of tomorrow, so I'll be leaving first. Please take care of Griseo for today."

After saying that, Hen left, giving Elysia a thumbs up as he did so.

Zhu Yufeng held Griseo in his arms, watching Hen's departing figure, and then looked at Lilith: "Based on my understanding of Mei, Mei would never take the initiative to invite Kevin to go shopping or anything like that. After all, in her opinion, shopping is a pure waste of time that has no practical meaning for her."

Elysia looked at Lilith as well. She was certain that she had been trying to persuade May to spend more time with Kevin, but May's only response was to drag Kevin along to experiments or something, and only occasionally to take a walk. As for shopping together? Kevin was probably dreaming.

So no matter how you look at it, it's all related to Lilith, right? After all, Lilith is the woman who could transform Mei's god-slaying culinary skills into something edible.

"Judging from your expressions, you don't think I did it, do you? Please, I'm new to the Fire Moth, how could I possibly persuade Mei to suggest going shopping with Kevin?" Lilith shrugged. "I only gave her a little push. Isn't the root of the problem someone who has absolutely no self-awareness?"

Zhu Yufeng frowned. "Kevin? But Kevin tried many methods last time, and they didn't seem to have any effect whatsoever..."

Elysia understood. She looked at Zhu Yufeng and nodded thoughtfully. "Indeed, he really has no self-awareness at all."

Pardo looked left and right. It was a high-level situation with both Sister Elysia and Sister Lilith present. She couldn't understand what they were saying. But it seemed that the person Sister Lilith and Sister Elysia were talking about who had no self-awareness was Brother Yu Feng.

Zhu Yufeng noticed that all three of them were looking at him, and when he looked down, he saw that Griseo was also looking at him... He was silent for a while before remembering what Lilith had mentioned to him that morning—that Mei had looked in his direction at least ten times last night...

After a long pause, he said, "Why is Mei... why is she so wary of me? Why did she go shopping with Kevin because of me? Why would I compete with her for Kevin?" Please, is he straight? Is it really necessary to go to such lengths? To be wary of me "stealing" Kevin, she even ruined her public image. Is this... is this reasonable?

Elysia crossed her arms and squinted, saying, "In the time since Kevin and May joined the Fire Moth, you've spent more time with Kevin with May. If that were all, May might not have said anything. But, every vacation you've been on, Kevin has come with you. Every holiday you've spent playing basketball with Kevin?"

"Is there anything strange about that? Besides, don't you know why Kevin came along on vacation?" Zhu Yufeng said, somewhat speechless.

"I knew that guy didn't want me to have more opportunities to be alone with you..." Elysia's tone was unusually strained, "Yes, Mei doesn't know that, and Mei has absolutely no concept of dating. She cares about Kevin, but she doesn't know how to show her care for Kevin."

Of course, she also played a part in this. Before Lilith came, she had often gone to May to tell her to keep a close eye on Kevin, but that wasn't what she meant. May misunderstood.

"Let me summarize," Lilith said slowly. "Mei doesn't yet define her relationship with Kevin as one of deep understanding." "I had a heart-to-heart talk with Mei last week."

"Why didn't Mei tell me? I'm good at having heart-to-heart talks," Elysia said, somewhat dissatisfied.

"Do you have a boyfriend?" Lilith asked in return.

Elysia choked, attempting to retort, "You don't have any either, do you?"

"But everyone thinks I have it," Lilith said, shrugging.

Elysia: "..."

This reason is too reasonable... She has absolutely no way to retaliate because what Lilith said is the truth. Everyone in the Fire Moth, including Elysia herself, thought that these two were practically a couple, if not lovers.

"Even if Mei knew that Feng and I weren't actually in a relationship, I still like Feng." Lilith found Elysia's reaction amusing. "So, back then, did you have a crush on someone? Did you have any dating experience?"

Elysia: "..."

Does she have a child now?

"So, generally speaking, what do you think, given Mei's emotional dilemma, is it better to seek out Elysia, who has a good relationship with everyone and is willing to listen to her troubles, or to seek out Lilith, who is also in love and whose relationship with someone is at least publicly stable?" Lilith added with a smile, "Besides, in my previous life, Mei and I had a pretty good relationship. Her and Kevin's birthday gifts were given in my and Feng's names. Feng and Kevin had a good relationship, so of course Mei and I had to have a good relationship too, right?"

Elysia: "..."

Suddenly I understood why Kevin was so determined to support Lilith. It seemed that in his eyes, he and Mei were a couple, and Feng and Lilith were a couple. This was like the underlying code being written into his brain.

If Lilith's statement is true, and Mei discussed her feelings with Lilith, and Lilith helped Mei understand her feelings for Kevin, and Mei isn't entirely naive, then she would definitely say something to Kevin to help him bring Lilith and Feng together...

Kevin, that ultimate idiot, believes whatever May says, and even he himself thinks it should be that way, and then...

And that's how we got the current Archbishop of the Feng-Lilith Faction...

Elysia looked at Zhu Yufeng, then quickly walked behind him, hugged his neck, and hung her whole body on his back. She was tired, she didn't want to care anymore or talk, she just wanted to be close to Feng.

Pardo's eye twitched. So that's how it works? No wonder she's Lilith, Sister Elysia... She's no match for Lilith at all...

Zhu Yufeng was speechless. Just as he had guessed, Lilith's purpose in contacting Mei was simply to use Mei to get Kevin to match her with him. He was wondering why Lilith clearly didn't care about anyone else, would suddenly become friends with Mei. Moreover, he hadn't even seen what Lilith did using Mei. Now it seemed that he had been so focused on Honkai enemy that he had overlooked some details.

Suddenly, Griseo was being held in Zhu Yufeng's arms, spoke in a childish voice, "Sister Astaroth said that Sister Lilith is very bad. She is bad to everyone, but she is very good to Brother Yu Feng. Sister Astaroth doesn't believe Sister Lilith, but she believes in Sister Lilith who is by Brother Yu Feng's side."

Lilith shifted her gaze to Griseo and smiled gently, "Astaroth, after all, she was originally a mental Fusion Warrior, and a special type at that. With her perspective, she can always see things that so-called 'adults' can't perceive. However, Astaroth has one good point: she knows what to say and who to say it to."

Pardo subconsciously took a step back. Lilith seemed to have suddenly become a little strange? How to put it, she was a little frightening.

Zhu Yufeng frowned and said, "Lilith, be careful."

Griseo is still here!

Leaning against Zhu Yufeng's back, Elysia also leaned over to look at Lilith. Just now, Lilith had once again made no attempt to hide her malice towards her...

The strange atmosphere vanished in an instant. Lilith walked up to Griseo, gently pinched Griseo's cheek, and said, "Little Griseo doesn't seem scared at all."

Griseo looked at Lilith expressionlessly and said, "Because Brother Yu Feng is here, Sister Lilith would never do anything bad."

"What a good child." Lilith patted Griseo's head and said, "I don't dislike sensible children like Griseo and Astaroth."

Zhu Yufeng looked at Griseo with a somewhat serious expression. His appearance with Lilith did not mean that Lilith would change her stance or style. It was just that he did not want Lilith to do so, so Lilith would not do so. For example, when he suppressed the Rebel Army in his previous life, he hesitated in dealing with the Rebel Army, but Lilith did not hesitate to help him dispel the concerns that should be in his human nature.

The fundamental reason is that he wants to Honkai the Honkai in the least troublesome way, and Lilith is also moved for this reason.

But... why did Griseo suddenly say that? It's true that Astaroth doesn't like to talk much, and while Griseo isn't quite like Astaroth who only speaks to close friends, but...

After thinking for a long time without figuring out the reason, Zhu Yufeng decided to ask Lilith another question, "Even if I really am Mei suddenly enlightened, Lilith, what do you mean by saying you gave her a push?"

"Oh, before you and Elysia went to the dance floor last night, Kevin actually came to see me and asked how things were going between you and me. Mei was right next to Kevin at that time, but of course, she noticed that Kevin was asking about you through me. I saw right through her look," Lilith said with a smile. "So I had a short chat with Mei alone and offered some advice, like some ways for boys and girls to strengthen their relationship. She probably connected it to Elysia's actions with Maple recently."

In short, this girl is still just like in her previous life; she's always so easily fooled when it comes to Kevin's romantic relationships.

Elysia continued to cling to Zhu Yufeng's back, saying somewhat dejectedly, "Why didn't Mei ask me? I clearly have someone I like this time too..."

"But the problem is, right now, there's more than one girl who likes Feng, and you haven't won him over yet." Lilith shrugged. "Another reason is that Mei tends to hide her emotions. She only seeks help when she can't hide them anymore. Right now, the misunderstandings that Feng and Kevin have caused her are not enough to make her seek help. They will only make her try on her own first."

"You've given her some advice, which has lowered Mei's tolerance for relationship problems and provided her with an outlet for her emotions. If Mei has any more problems later, she'll come to you first, right?" Zhu Yufeng said, somewhat speechless.

This doesn't mean his emotional intelligence suddenly improved by a lot. Anyway, apart from himself, everything can be easily concluded from the perspective that Lilith has ill intentions.

"As expected of Kaede, you really understand me so well! I'm so, so happy~ So I have to give you a little reward..." Lilith said with a smile.

A reward? Masaka?!

Zhu Yufeng tried to back away, but suddenly remembered that Elysia was currently hanging behind him. If he retreated rashly, they would both fall backward. Just as he hesitated, Lilith stepped forward and kissed his lips.

Zhu Yufeng: "..."

He knew it...

Elysia: "!"

Lilith, that's going too far! This Fire Moth here!
