"Hey, my stuff..."

Seele was about to answer that she didn't have much, since all the luggage she had packed last time had been lost in Changkong City, so now she only had a few sets of clothes and personal belongings.

"Ling Xi, come to the lab with me first. You have other things to do."

Mobius called out to Ling Xi, gesturing for Ling Xi to follow her, and then, without waiting for Ling Xi's reply, turned and left the room.

"Seele, you pack up first, I'll come find you later."

Seeing this, Ling Xi didn't dare to delay, after all, it was Mobius who had come to find her.

"Okay, go ahead, I don't have much stuff."

Seele nodded obediently and smiled at Ling Xi, "See you later."

"Okay, see you later..."

Ling Xi smiled and waved, then hurried off to find the Doctor.

"Doctor, is there something you need?"

A moment later, Ling Xi arrived at the laboratory and asked her Doctor why he had come to see her.

"Um."

Upon seeing Ling Xi arrive, Mobius smiled and said, "Let's temporarily suspend the research for today. How about we go home together later?"

"That would be great! After all, it's a new home, so we should definitely take a good look around."

Ling Xi nodded in agreement. Because she was staying in the research institute's temporary accommodation, she didn't dare to do experiments with the Doctor at night. After all, the walls were too thin and it was easy for the wind to leak in. Besides, it was really not as comfortable to sleep at home.

Now that we have our own home, both traveling and living will be much more convenient.

"Well, so we'll have to go back today and come back tomorrow, therefore..."

Mobius pointed to the Herrscher Core in the laboratory isolation room and laughed, "We have to take the core with us; it's not safe to leave it here."

"Hmm... that's true."

Ling Xi nodded silently in response. After all, how could the Flame-Chasing Moths not be tempted by something so important? Perhaps if Mobius and she left, a fire would break out in the laboratory, and the Herrscher Core would disappear in the fire.

Hmm... that makes sense!

So, the Herrscher Core...

"Call out..."

Ling Xi gently raised her right hand, and the Herrscher Core automatically floated up, slowly falling into Ling Xi's hand before disappearing.

"Doctor, is there anything else?"

After carefully storing the Herrscher Core, Ling Xi asked another question.

"It's gone."

Mobius shook his head slightly and smiled, "You should go back and pack your things too. The car has arrived and we can leave anytime!"

"Yes, Doctor..."

"Wow, sister, look, what a big house!"

"Yes, from today onwards, we'll be living here."

"This is my first time staying in a villa..."

Upon arriving at their so-called new home, Rin, Sakura, and Seele were all somewhat surprised. Although they knew beforehand that it was a villa-style house, they were still...

Only when you actually see it can you truly appreciate how awe-inspiring it is.

"Sister, can we really live here?"

"Of course! We're following the Doctor!"

Danzhu Cangxuan also had some feelings, after all, the two of them were just ordinary families in Shenzhou, and they really couldn't afford to live in a villa, let alone... this was a villa in the Mu Continent, the place with the highest property prices in the world, without exception!

"Klein, take them inside and show them around, and let them choose their rooms while you're at it."

Seeing that everyone seemed to like it, Mobius smiled and asked Klein to lead them inside to choose their rooms.

Ling Xi remained standing beside Mobius, silently surveying the villa before her. This was... her and the Doctor's home for the next few years.

"Hmm, nice new home."

After the six girls went inside, Elysia looked somewhat wistful and smiled at Mobius, saying, "My best friend, this house is so big, there must be a lot of rooms, right?"

"Unfortunately, Elysia."

Mobius smiled slightly and said, "Although the house is large enough, there aren't many rooms, only eight. And there are nine of us in total, so..."

"Elysia, I know there's an apartment not far from here. I can buy it for you."

"Oh... no, I can't accept that."

Elysia resolutely refused, laughing, "Besides, you and Ling Xi don't need two rooms. After all, you're married and sleeping separately would only give some vixens an opportunity."

Mobius: "..." You, the biggest vixen, still have the nerve to talk about others?

Because Mobius could clearly smell that, whether it was yesterday or today, Ling Xi had the scent of Elysia on her. Don't you have any idea what you've done, you vixen?

"Um?"

Hearing Mobius's words, Ling Xi asked with some curiosity, "Doctor, the villa in the construction plan, wasn't it supposed to have three floors and a total of sixteen rooms? How come it's only half the size?"

Ling Xi looked curious because, judging from the images, the villa was a combination of two buildings, with an irregular and symmetrical shape, but the area was really large. The ground floor alone took up nearly 300 square meters, while the rest were supporting facilities such as garages, helipads, swimming pools, gardens, etc., all of which added up to about 1,500 square meters!

In addition, there are two small buildings, mainly used as guest rooms!

In any case, there are at least twenty-six rooms in total.

Chapter 171: Sakura vs. Nozomi!

"Oh dear, Mobius, it seems you've misremembered."

Hearing Ling Xi's words, Elysia smiled and looked at Mobius, "Your husband is helping me."

"Hmph, Klein arranged everything; I didn't even watch it myself."

Mobius merely gave a soft hum, while glaring at Ling Xi. Was this guy really stupid or just pretending? Couldn't he see what he was thinking?

Although I knew it was probably unrealistic to refuse Elysia's request to move in, I could have taken the opportunity to give her a piece of my mind, but instead...

He won't help his own wife, but runs off to help that vixen!

"Forehead..."

Seeing her Doctor's displeased expression, and then looking at Elysia's smug face, Ling Xi felt...

Okay, actually I did it on purpose. How could I not understand what my Doctor meant? But...

He definitely hoped that Miss Fairy would move in too. After all, he wouldn't be bored with Elysia around. Besides, no one really thought it would be safe if Elysia didn't live here, right? Impossible!

Therefore, Ling Xi still felt it was better to have Elysia together as well. At least... Elysia already had considerable strength, and with her around, the safety of the home could be guaranteed when she went out.

"Ling Xi, come on, we've already chosen our rooms."

Mobius ignored Elysia and led Ling Xi home.

"Okay, sure."

How could Ling Xi refuse the Doctor's invitation? She decisively followed Mobius into the villa.

"Wait for me..."

Elysia quickly followed. As for the room, she wasn't picky, but...

It would be best to stay away from Mobius's room, because... cough cough, because I don't want to disturb Mobius and Ling Xi!

Upon entering the villa, Ling Xi began to observe its interior layout. The ground floor contained a hall, study, kitchen, and other rooms for various purposes. The bedrooms were located on the second and third floors. Additionally, the villa had a single-level basement, and the total area, including all rooms, was approximately 200 square meters, according to Mobius's instructions...

She seems to be planning to build a laboratory in the basement, although the equipment may not be as complete as a professional large laboratory, but...

With resources and authority worth at least trillions, Mobius is confident he can turn this place into one of the world's most advanced laboratories!

After all, he possesses the world's only Lightning Herrscher Core.

"Sister Elysia, which room do you want?"

Suddenly, Rin ran over and grabbed Elysia, saying happily, "Shall we live together?"

"Oh, okay, but what about your sister?"

Elysia didn't refuse, but just smiled and asked Sakura what to do.

"My sister and Seele are fighting over a room."

Ling shrugged and said somewhat helplessly, "It seems that the room next door is Ling Xi's room, but the room on the right is already the Doctor's room, so my sister and Seele are discussing who should take the room on the left."

"Puff..."

Elysia burst out laughing, then turned back to look at Ling Xi with a smile, "As expected of you, Ling Xi Seele. I can understand Xier, but Sakura... you're amazing, my Ling Xi."

"Um... well, Doctor, I..."

Ling Xi quickly looked at Mobius, wanting to explain. Seele admitted it herself, but... what the heck is Sakura? I won't take the blame for something I didn't do!

"Let them decide for themselves, I can't care."

Mobius simply stated that he didn't care, even though the room next door was indeed intended for Seele, but...

Mobius couldn't help but glance at Ling Xi. What's going on between this guy and Sakura? Something feels... off.

However, it must be a misperception, since that girl and Ling Xi have only met a few times!

"Forehead..."

Seeing that Mobius didn't seem to be willing to help anyone, Ling Xi didn't know what to say. After all, the room next Seele keep, because that way, no matter which way he went when he went out at night, it would be his wife's room!

However, since Mobius has already said so, it's not appropriate for me to help, as it wouldn't be fair to Sakura, so...

Seele, keep going!

"Ling Xi, let's go check the basement."

Mobius ignored the two men and laughed, "As I said before, the basement can be converted into a laboratory, and it's big enough. The key is that it's completely our private space, where we can keep important things."

"I think it's feasible, but..."

Ling Xi looked at Mobius with some curiosity and asked, "What if... I mean, what if, Doctor, you mess up and blow up the lab along with our home?"

"Cough cough... Don't worry, it won't happen."

Mobius coughed lightly and said calmly, "I will definitely conduct some dangerous experiments in the research institute. Moreover, the basement is a full ten meters below the ground and is built according to the standards of a nuclear shelter. So as long as we are not actually building a reactor, some small movements in the basement will not affect the ground."

"Forehead..."

"A minor disturbance..." To this, Ling Xi could only say, was the Honkai that occurred at the research institute last time a minor disturbance?

"Ling Xi!"

Seeing that Ling Xi and the other person seemed to be heading to the basement, Mobius had no intention of following. He simply took Ling's hand and said with a smile, "Then you two chat first. Ling and I will go upstairs to check out the rooms. See you later, bye-bye..."

After saying that, Elysia didn't wait for their reply and ran upstairs with Rin.

"Forget about them, let's go downstairs."

Seeing this, Mobius ignored it. After all, as for him, it didn't really matter whether the room next to Ling Xi belonged to Sakura or Seele, as long as it wasn't some dangerous fairy.

Now it seems that the only possible outcome is either Sakura or Seele, because neither of them seems willing to give in.

In short, who wins or loses this round is not important to me; what's important to me is not having Elysia!

"Okay, sure."

Ling Xi had no objections, since if a permanent laboratory could be built in the basement, then Mobius wouldn't have to go to the laboratory to work every day.

Just like in Changkong City, the downstairs is the laboratory and the upstairs is the room. You can do experiments whenever you want and rest whenever you want, which is very convenient.

However, Ling Xi also knew that in the future, Mobius would definitely be conducting research mainly in large research institutes. After all, it would be too dangerous to keep many things at home. Moreover... if nothing unexpected happened, Möbius would soon show amazing talent and rise rapidly, transforming from a novice into a top scientist who could rival Mobius!

The two will undoubtedly have many joint research projects, which can only be conducted in the research institute.

Finally, Ling Xi knew very well what her Doctor was researching. After all, it was research on biological genes, which inevitably involved some strange and unusual things. So, she didn't want Mobius to bring those things home. It would be creepy to look at them even during the day, let alone at night!
