Chapter 76

Even though the other person was facing away from the light source, Desdrobia could still see the blush on his face.

Is it true that even stones can become enlightened?

Desdrobia stared blankly at Cosmo, Cosmo also maintained his outstretched hand gesture, staring unblinkingly at Desdrobia.

After a while, or perhaps not so long at all, Desdrobia reached out and placed her hand on Cosmo's.

"OK."

Chapter Two: Please contact me more often for this kind of business.

"Ah, this is what youth is all about."

As the two youngest members of the first generation of Fused Warrior walked hand in hand into the dance floor, Ai Yue, standing at the door, couldn't help but sigh.

"Oh my, oh my, I never expected this!"

Elysia, standing next to him, reacted even more dramatically, even wiping her eyes, like a parent seeing their child succeed. "Mobius actually asked Daisy to dance one day! Oh my god, I have to record this!"

As she spoke, she pulled out a pink camera from somewhere and started recording.

Then the two of them saw Cosmo step on Desdrobia's feet at least four times.

Ai Yue turned to look at Elysia: "How about we don't record it?"

"Ah, this is what youth is all about!"

Elysia's lips curled into a wide smile, showing no intention of putting down the camera. "It will be very interesting to show them this much later!"

"That's true."

Ai Yue nodded. "Then send me a copy later."

OK~

Elysia gestured with her hand, then suddenly looked up in confusion, "Huh, why is Mobius's movement suddenly so precise?"

Ai Yue glanced at it and immediately made a judgment. "Desdrobia gave up teaching him the moves and directly used telekinesis to control Cosmo."

"Huh? You can do that?"

"So, what do you want with me?"

After the two left the dance floor, Ai Yue looked away and said, "I've been quite busy lately."

Half a month has passed since the great battle in Australia. After using the "Spatial Rupture Cannon" to blast open the Domination Domain and rescue Kevin and the others, Ai Yue has been locking himself in the laboratory to carry out the next plan.

If it weren't for Elysia and Aponia working together to drag him out of there today, Ai Yue doesn't know how much longer he would have stayed inside.

"After all, this is a victory celebration banquet. It wouldn't be right for you, the biggest contributor, not to be there."

Elysia said with a smile, then grabbed Ai Yue's arm, "Come on, this is a banquet I've been preparing for a week, I guarantee you'll like it!"

As she spoke, she dragged Ai Yue to a corner of the hall to sit down, and then thoughtfully brought him snacks and drinks, acting as if she were treating him to a meal.

"This dessert... was made by Kalpas?"

Ai Yue picked up the cookie in front of him and took a bite, then looked at Elysia in astonishment, "How did you manage to drag him all the way from Twilight Street?"

Since returning to Twilight Street, Kalpas has been rooted to the spot and hasn't moved since. He's focused on being a baker. If it weren't for the Herrscher of Domination causing trouble nearby, Kalpas probably wouldn't have gone out at all.

Incidentally, after the shelter and school were fully completed, Twilight Street was officially renamed "Morning Sun Academy," meaning a place where children, like the rising sun, learn and grow.

In Ai Yue's plan, the ultimate form of the Morning Sun Academy is to become a world-class educational hub, and therefore it will eventually be expanded into a place like Academy City.

"I made a deal with him: if he's willing to help, I'll spend one day a month teaching at the school."

Elysia smiled proudly, "The children love me!"

"If I remember correctly, you submitted your application for teaching in a rural area before the incident in the Mu Continent, right?"

Ai Yue looked at her speechlessly, "Trying to make two dishes out of one?"

"Hey, this is clearly a win-win situation!"

Elysia pouted, "Don't portray me as some scheming, wicked woman!"

"You're not exactly a bad woman, but being full of scheming is definitely not a bad thing."

Ai Yue picked up his drink. "For example, you must have had some other purpose in dragging me out today, right?"

"Ai Yue, you..."

Elysia deliberately gave him a displeased look, then suddenly broke into a bright smile, "You have a good eye for people!"

Ai Yue almost choked on the other party's undisguised response. He put down his cup, then wiped his mouth. "So, your purpose is?"

"Oh, it's nothing really, it's just a simple little thing for you."

Elysia looked at Cosmo and Desdrobia in another corner, "You must know about the reorganization of the Fused Warrior Squad, right?"

"I initiated it, so what?"

Ai Yue nodded. "This plan is indispensable in order to cope with the increasingly frequent Honkai disasters and the strategy of global resistance."

"But won't Mobius and Daisy have to separate?"

Elysia blinked, a regretful expression on her face. "Our once inseparable partners are now worlds apart, and it's incredibly difficult for us to even see each other. Isn't that just too pitiful?"

"So that's what it was for."

Ai Yue gave a subtle smile. "So it was those two who asked you for help?"

"No, not at all. Not to mention Daisy, at least Mobius probably doesn't realize the seriousness of this problem yet."

Elysia sighed, clearly exasperated by some of the stubborn guys. "But some things, if you wait until you discover them before trying to fix them, isn't it too late?"

"That makes sense."

Ai Yue nodded seriously, "I can help with this. It's not a big problem. But since you came to me, it means there should be a reward, right?"

"Of course! How could I let you help me for nothing!"

Elysia nodded, then solemnly extended a hand, clenched her fist, and presented it to Ai Yue, saying, "This is my reward."

"What's the meaning?"

Ai Yue looked at the girl's small, delicate fist and couldn't help but show a puzzled expression. "A violent threat?"

"Clang clang~"

Elysia made an onomatopoeic sound, then opened her palm. There was nothing inside, except for an arrow drawn in her palm with a pink pen, pointing directly at Elysia herself. "The reward is me!"

"What a high rate of return!"

Ai Yue couldn't help but sigh, "Are you really sure you're going to risk your life for something like this?"

"What are you talking about? I'm just granting you one request, not selling myself to you!"

Elysia hurriedly withdrew her hand, raised her eyebrows and glared at Ai Yue, then laughed again, "So, how do you plan to solve this?"

"Solve? Solve what?"

Ai Yue deliberately feigned a confused expression, and only when Elysia was about to pout again did he burst out laughing, "I bet you didn't finish reading about the plan to reorganize the Fused Warrior team, did you?"

"How could I not have finished watching? I only came to you because I was sure Daisy and Mobius weren't on the same team!"

Elysia looked confused. "So what exactly are you... Oh, stop laughing, just tell me!"

"They are in two different teams, yes, but both teams are in Australia,"

Looking at Elysia's expression, Ai Yue finally couldn't help but burst into laughter. "But the squad deployment details are in the appendix. I bet you didn't read it correctly, did you?"

"You, you rascal, why didn't you say so sooner!"

Elysia looked embarrassed and annoyed. "You're trying to do two things at once!"

"Hey, this is clearly a win-win situation!"

"Don't you dare mimic me!"

Chapter Three: No one can leave the Moth to Fire alive.

This little incident didn't cause much of a stir, because if you consider it a transaction, then Elysia was making a losing deal from the very beginning.

Therefore, Ai Yue was well aware that the other party was merely going along with the flow, giving him an excuse to use her.

From this perspective, Elysia can be said to have achieved three goals at once: ensuring that Desdrobia and Cosmo would not truly separate, pulling Ai Yue out of the laboratory, and ultimately allowing him to participate in the other's subsequent experiments. It can be said to be a perfect result.

However, despite receiving a promise from Elysia, Ai Yue still hasn't figured out exactly how to use it.

There is no room for Elysia to appear in the current plan, but it is clear that Elysia is the most special one among the Herrscher, and the one who truly connects the Pre-Civilization and the current civilization. Her research value can be said to surpass that of anyone else in the world.

Even if Mobius has now begun to cultivate his character and is no longer as impatient as before, were to know Elysia's true secret, he would probably rack his brains to find a way to trick her into his operating table.

"So, how do you plan to use this promise?"

Elysia looked at Ai Yue curiously, "Any request is fine with me~"

Elysia didn't impose any restrictions on this promise because she knew very well that the man in front of her was arguably the most arrogant and presumptuous person in the world, but also the one with the highest moral standards. His self-discipline was unbelievably strict, as if he were truly born specifically to save the world.

Therefore, even if she doesn't impose any restrictions, Ai Yue will absolutely not overstep the bounds.

"I really haven't decided yet."

Ai Yue frankly said, "To be honest, you are not yet in my plans."

"Let's talk about it later."

Elysia didn't press the matter, but instead looked towards the door. "Speaking of which, why hasn't Kevin arrived yet? The Captain's Meeting should be over by now, right?"

"I'm afraid he never intended to come."

Ai Yue adjusted his glasses. "Oh, he's on the second-floor rooftop. Are you going to go find him?"

"Of course, this is a ball for the Fused Warrior, how could he not come?"

Elysia stood up, then grabbed Ai Yue's arm as if she had thought of something. "Come on, Ai Yue, why don't you help persuade him too?"

In the rush, Ai Yue didn't have time to refuse. He only managed to grab two cookies before the other person dragged him away.

When the two arrived on the rooftop, Kevin was still on a video call with Dr. Mei.

"I think we should forget about it."

As soon as Ai Yue and Elysia stepped onto the rooftop, they heard Kevin's voice.

"What do you mean, 'let it go'?"

Elysia asked curiously, "Kevin, what are you talking to May about?"

Before Kevin could speak, Dr. Mei saw Elysia and Ai Yue approaching through the camera and couldn't help but laugh, "Perfect timing, you're here. I'll leave this to you. I have things to do, so I'll hang up now."

"Plum..."

Before Kevin could say anything, Dr. Mei unilaterally hung up the video call, so he couldn't help but sigh, and then looked at the two of them, "You're here to drag me to the ball?"

Seeing the other person's performance, Ai Yue couldn't help but recall what he had read in comics before.

Back when Kevin and May were still students, Kevin probably kept pestering May like this.

Seeing that the other party's personality was not as cold and twisted as in the Pre-Civilization, Ai Yue felt as if he had become even more great.

After all, it was all thanks to him.

"Yeah, you're not going to refuse, are you?"

Seeing Kevin's expression, which resembled that of a dog locked out by its owner, Elysia and Ai Yue exchanged a glance and smiled at the same time. "Kevin, you look so pitiful right now."

"Say what you will."

Kevin put his phone away. "Anyway, I think it's better if I don't go to the dance."

"What happened?"

Elysia naturally sensed the other's mood. "The Captain's Meeting didn't go well? I remember everything was fine before I left?"

The Captain's Meeting was actually Elysia's idea, but in order to get Ai Yue to the ball, she had to leave halfway and leave everything to Kevin.

I thought Kevin was already quite adept at handling these kinds of situations, but it turns out he's still not quite up to par.
