Afterward, Mobius glanced at Ling Xi again, then silently returned to her laboratory.

"Um."

Ling Xi nodded silently and followed. Between the two of them, many things could be understood with just a glance.

A moment later, in the laboratory, Mobius looked at Ling Xi with a smile and asked, "So, do you recognize me?"

"I'm sorry, I don't know him."

Ling Xi simply shook her head and said, "It's not quite like the usual Honkai Beast I'm used to. At least... I've never seen Honkai Beast like this before."

"Really... I thought that person with 'Wei' in their name had told you that."

Seeing that Ling Xi didn't seem to recognize it either, Mobius didn't press the matter. Instead, he continued to observe the screenshot in the video, specifically the clip of the snake, a charming smile playing on his lips. "Hmm, a brand new experimental sample. Although it doesn't look particularly powerful, its greatest value lies in being a unique specimen."

"Forehead..."

Ling Xi seemed to want to say something, but in the end she didn't speak. After all, she hadn't forgotten her Doctor role, which was that of a mad scientist who would give up everything for research. Now that such a unique Honkai Beast had suddenly appeared, how could she not be excited?

"But it's strange."

Looking at the Honkai Beast in the image, Mobius suddenly frowned and said, "Weren't Honkai Beast in Changkong City wiped out by you? How did it survive? Was it hiding underground?"

"That's probably unlikely..."

Ling Xi was also very curious about this question, because at that time she used the Herrscher Core to sense the Honkai Beast, and then used the electromagnetic force of the Herrscher Core to use Universal Pull to pull all the Honkai Beast that Changkong City sensed into the air, and then used the Flame of Fire to detonate them, wiping out all the Honkai Beast!

As for those hiding underground, unless the Honkai Beast is at least thirty meters underground, a depth that it might be impossible for them to be pulled out, they have no chance of survival.

"That's a newly formed Honkai Beast."

Mobius suddenly thought of another possibility and said, "After you destroyed the Third Herrscher, weren't there still some high-intensity Honkai Energy remaining in that area? The Honkai Energy only started to slowly dissipate yesterday and finally disappeared completely, but coincidentally... this Honkai Beast also appeared yesterday, so..."

Mobius nodded thoughtfully and smiled slightly, "It seems that this new Honkai Beast is very likely to Honkai Energy of the Third Herrscher."

"This statement... is indeed very likely."

Ling Xi wholeheartedly agreed with the Doctor's conjecture, because all the Honkai Beast in Changkong City should have been wiped out by then. These survivors were most likely Honkai Beast were generated later, that is, Honkai Beast generated from the residual Honkai Energy of some local animals after the Honkai event ended.

"Well, in any case, this is a new sample."

After explaining the origins of the Honkai Beast, Mobius looked at it with renewed anticipation and chuckled, "It really is... I really want to study it."

"Does the Doctor want that Honkai Beast?"

Upon hearing Mobius's words, Ling Xi immediately replied, "In that case, I'll personally go to Changkong City to bring it back for the Doctor, but... it might not be alive."

"Forget it, it's just a small Honkai Beast. We can leave it to the Flame-Chasing Moths to handle!"

Mobius waved his hand, turned to look at Ling Xi, and snorted, "Also, did you ignore what I said? I already said that you can't use the power of the Herrscher Core without my permission."

"Um, Doctor, I..."

Ling Xi wanted to explain: why should he need to use the power of the Herrscher Core on such a small Honkai Beast? This was an insult to the Herrscher Core!

"Okay, don't overthink it, I know what you're trying to say..."

However, Mobius interrupted Ling Xi, then pressed his forehead against hers and laughed, "Even so, I don't want you to use any more power that could harm your body. Besides, this is really just a weaker Honkai Beast. The Flame-Chasing Moths's forces and the people from the Poisoned Pupae side are more than enough to take it down!"

"Hmm... I understand, Doctor."

Seeing how concerned her Doctor was about her, Ling Xi didn't say anything more, and besides...

The Doctor is right, this is a very weak Honkai Beast!

Chapter 176: Really, Elysia's Milk Tea!

After spending some time in the experiment at Mobius's lab, Ling Xi was kicked out by the Doctor. The reason was simple: not only could he not help with the experiment, but he would also easily interfere with his research, so...

You're my good assistant when I need you, but when I don't... goodbye!

"Hi, Ling Xi."

As Ling Xi emerged from the lab, a fairy immediately blocked his path, smiling, "Are you free? How about we go for a stroll around the city?"

"OK."

Ling Xi readily agreed, smiling, "I was just planning to go too."

"Hey... doesn't that mean we're on the same wavelength?"

Elysia smiled and asked curiously, "So, what are you doing in the city?"

"Buy a car."

Ling Xi didn't hide anything and said directly, "The car you accompanied me to buy last time, the Doctor said she really liked it. In addition, she didn't have much time to buy one herself, so that car is going to stay in the lab for the Doctor to use. So I'm planning to buy another one for myself."

"Wow, another new car to ride in. I'm really lucky."

Elysia deliberately smiled and said, "Ling Xi's first time with the previous car and the first time with this car that's about to be acquired are both Elysia's."

Ling Xi "..."

"If you like it, I'll give you one; it's not expensive anyway."

Ling Xi immediately changed the subject, while also wondering whether she should provide Ying and the others with a car as well, so that it would be more convenient for them to travel in the future.

"Hehe, then let's forget about it."

Elysia shook her head and laughed, "If Mobius knew, he'd probably be very angry. Besides..."

Elysia wrapped her arms around Ling Xi's neck and clung to Ling Xi, grinning mischievously, "Driving yourself is nothing compared to having someone else drive you for free. Let's go, let's go pick up our new car, driver."

Ling Xi: "..." Driver... sir?

Don't worry, I'm a 20-year veteran driver, I drive very steadily!

Having learned from her previous experience, Ling Xi was quite adept this time. She and Elysia arrived at their familiar car dealership, and then...

Ling Xi originally wanted to buy a black car, since it was a more understated and conventional color, but...

Elysia said it wasn't cute enough, and pointed to a pink car, saying that this was her true color. Of course, Ling Xi immediately passed on it!

In the end, I bought a regular white one.

"Hmm, it's quite comfortable to sit in, but it's just not cute enough."

After buying the car, Ling Xi drove Elysia around the city, but Elysia was still bothered by the fact that the car wasn't cute enough.

"If you want something cute, I'll give you a pink one next time."

Ling Xi looked at Elysia speechlessly and laughed, "And it would be so cute to print Miss Elysia's photos on all four sides of the car body."

"Hey, that's a good idea."

Elysia didn't feel embarrassed at all and decisively laughed, "I've decided to do this next time I buy a car, and... how about we drive it together after we get it?"

"No, thank you!"

Ling Xi resolutely refused; she would never drive such a dangerous car.

"Snort..."

Elysia simply hummed softly in response, without saying anything more.

"Oh, right, Elysia."

As they drove through a block, Ling Xi suddenly stopped the car. "Would you like some milk tea?"

"Oh, it's here?"

Elysia seemed somewhat surprised and laughed, "I didn't expect you to want to do this here. You're quite bold."

Ling Xi "..."

"I'm talking about... that milk tea shop!"

A black line appeared on Ling Xi's forehead, and then she pointed to a milk tea shop not far away. It was the same shop where she had accompanied Elysia last time. What was this fairy girl thinking?

"Haha, just kidding."

Seeing Ling Xi's conflicted expression, Elysia laughed out loud, then opened the door and got out of the car, saying with a smile, "You treated me last time, so this time it's my treat. Wait a moment."

After saying that, Elysia got out of the car to buy milk tea, while Ling Xi quietly pulled the car into a parking space on the side of the road.

About five minutes later, Elysia returned with the milk tea, but when Elysia took it out, Ling Xi seemed a little confused...

"Um... Elysia, where's mine?"

Seeing that there was only one cup of milk tea in the bag, Ling Xi was speechless. You promised to treat me to a drink, but you only bought one cup. What do you mean by that?

"This is it."

Elysia smiled slightly and said, "Well... because I'm not very thirsty right now, if I just buy a cup, I might not be able to finish it and it would be a waste, so..."

Elysia pulled out two straws and laughed, "This cup is yours. I'll just take a sip. Look, this lid is specially designed to hold two straws."

Ling Xi: "..." I don't believe you for a second.

But Elysia didn't care what Ling Xi thought. She had already inserted two straws and handed them to Ling Xi with a smile, "Ling Xi, drink up."

"No, I'm not thirsty."

Ling Xi turned her head away. Although she didn't want to refuse, she felt a little annoyed by being tricked by Elysia all the time.

"How about I feed you?"

Seeing Ling Xi's refusal, Elysia was not discouraged at all. She took a small sip, then climbed onto Ling Xi's lap and gently pressed her lips to his...

Ling Xi "..."

Hmm, why does this feel so familiar? Right, back in Changkong City, the Doctor's chewing coffee...

Is it Miss Fairy's Milk Tea again this time?

Ling Xi refused earlier because she was a little too proud, but now that Elysia is being so proactive, then...

Ling Xi, of course, didn't hold back at all, drinking every last drop of the milk tea from the fairy's mouth, and even wanted to squeeze out a little more, still not quite satisfied.

"Hehe... How is it? Is it good?"

After a long while, their lips slowly parted, and Elysia looked at Ling Xi with a playful smile. Of course, this wasn't mockery; she simply found teasing Ling Xi amusing, especially...

This is the kind of person who says one thing but can't stop once they start.

"Cough cough... It's alright, just a little too little."

Ling Xi also calmly coughed.

"Shall we have some more?"

Elysia didn't reject Ling Xi's idea, picked up the milk tea again, and planned to take another sip...

"No need, Elysia, let's drink together!"

Ling Xi reached out to stop her, since it wasn't about drinking milk tea at all, it was purely because of Elysia's lips, so... there was no need to do that now.

"Oops..."

As it turned out, it seemed that Ling Xi's movements were a little too forceful, causing the milk tea in Elysia's hand to shake, and then the milk tea spilled out along the straw. Also, because...

Elysia was wearing a casual outfit today that revealed a small portion of her cleavage, and the milk tea just happened to spill in such a convenient spot...

"Hey... look, you've made it all dirty."

Elysia immediately pouted and glared at Ling Xi.

"Feel sorry..."

Ling Xi quickly took out tissues from the car to help Elysia wipe herself.

"Etc..."

Elysia stopped Ling Xi, then leaned down slightly and whispered to Ling Xi with a smile, "What, don't you want to... try my milk tea?"

Ling Xi: "???"
