"Ugh..."

About ten minutes later, the two finished the milk tea they had just bought. Elysia's face was slightly flushed, but she still had a smile on her face. She gently hugged Ling Xi's head and whispered, "Idiot, you spilled milk tea on me and didn't even help wipe it off... ugh..."

"Um... I'm sorry, I..."

Ling Xi subconsciously wanted to say that it was you who told her not to wipe it, but she couldn't bring herself to say it, after all, she had just drunk the best cup of milk tea she had ever had.

"Hmph, there's sugar in the milk tea, it's all sticky."

Elysia touched her clothes; they were sticky. No wonder, she'd spilled milk tea on them, and milk tea is mostly sugar, so it's no wonder they were sticky.

"Ugh..."

After a moment's thought, Ling Xi said, "There's a hotel not far away, how about we go there?"

"Okay!"

Of course Elysia wouldn't refuse; she couldn't possibly go back wearing what she was wearing now, could she?

So, Ling Xi drove Elysia directly to a nearby hotel!

"Hello, you two, what service do you need?"

As soon as they entered the hotel, the receptionist greeted them with a polite smile.

"A room for one hour!"

Ling Xi immediately took out her identity card.

"One hour?"

The customer service representative looked at Ling Xi with some suspicion, but didn't ask any further questions. She said to Elysia, "Please show your ID card, or you can go here for iris recognition."

This is, after all, the capital of the Mu Continent. It is absolutely impossible for someone to stay here without a valid ID. Therefore, both of them need to have their identities verified. Otherwise, what if they are fugitives?

After their identities were confirmed, the two went directly to their room upstairs.

"Look, don't buy the wrong one, and... remember to destroy it immediately after you've finished reading!"

Inside the room, Elysia handed Ling Xi a slip of paper containing her personal data. Although she didn't really want to reveal this, but...

If I don't tell this guy, she can't buy me clothes. What if she buys clothes that are too small? It would be better not to wear them at all.

"Um... don't worry, it's definitely right."

Ling Xi took the note and went out to buy clothes for Elysia, while Elysia went to the bathroom to take a shower, since spilling milk tea on her was really uncomfortable.

Ling Xi, who had just left the room, quickly checked the Fairy Miss's data...

Hmm, as expected of Miss Fairy, although she's still a little behind the Doctor in absolute terms, but...

When I was drinking milk tea just now, I didn't seem to notice any difference, so... Miss Fairy, you are terrifying!

Of course, the milk tea was still very fragrant, and I would like to drink it again next time!

Ling Xi returned with the clothes in about ten minutes, then sat on the edge of the bed waiting for Elysia, while also pondering how to get along with Elysia in the future, after all...

Well, after what happened today, it's absolutely impossible to sever ties with Miss Elysia in the future, although... I don't intend to do so anyway.

Besides, ever since he kissed Elysia, things have been spiraling out of control.

Of course, no matter what, Miss Fairy is still very appealing. It's just a pity that there are too many tricks involved, but then again, isn't that part of Miss Fairy's charm?

Finally, Ling Xi sat in the room, listening to the sound of Elysia taking a bath, while taking out a bowl of white rice... cough cough, and taking out his phone, preparing to play games while waiting for Elysia!

"Ling Xi, where are my clothes?"

About half an hour later, Elysia's voice finally came from the bathroom.

"It's here."

Ling Xi immediately picked up the clothes and walked to the bathroom door. "Elysia, open the door a crack, and I'll pass the clothes in for you."

"Hehe, no need, I'm not shy, what are you afraid of?"

Elysia walked straight to the door and yanked it open...

"Elysia ..."

Ling Xi subconsciously wanted to cover her eyes, of course, not really, just to pretend, but the result was...

Ling Xi "..."

Elysia was actually wrapped in a bath towel, revealing her cleavage, but none of her most intimate parts were visible...

Hmph... Disappointing!

"Haha, want to see? You idiot!"

How could Elysia not notice Ling Xi's gaze? She immediately revealed a wicked grin, as if her scheme had succeeded, and sneered, "You've already seen it, yet you still want to see it again? You really are a naughty child..."

"Ahem, if Miss Elysia insists on doing this, then I will reluctantly agree."

Since Elysia didn't offer any perks, Ling Xi stared directly at Elysia, hoping that Elysia would... unleash her playful nature and tease her again!

Come on, don't pity me just because I'm a child!

"Hmph, dream on. Just wait obediently outside the door."

"Bang! Crack!"

However, this time Elysia seemed unwilling to offer any more perks, and simply closed the door and locked it...

Ling Xi "..."

Ling Xi tried turning it, and well... it really locked!

To this, Ling Xi could only say... It's one thing to be wary of petty people, but are you even going to be wary of a gentleman like me? Where is the basic trust between people?

Doors are meant to keep out scoundrels, but it's wrong for you to use them to keep out a gentleman like me, you know that?

However, Ling Xi felt like she was being tricked by Elysia again. Every time Elysia teased her before, she always refused, but... she found that the more she resisted, the more Elysia played along. But...

Whenever he tries to stir up trouble, Elysia always manages to slip away unscathed, so...

Could this be another kind of tactic?

"Welcome to visit us again."

About an hour later, under the somewhat strange look from the receptionist, Ling Xi and Elysia left the hotel.

"Mmm, I feel so comfortable after taking a shower and changing my clothes."

In the passenger seat, Elysia stretched gracefully, revealing a lazy yet playful look that was refreshing to behold.

"Elysia, I'm getting ready to go home. What about you?"

I checked the time; it was almost five o'clock. If I didn't hurry back, I might miss dinner.

"Of course we have to go back, otherwise why would we go to the hotel?"

Elysia rolled her eyes at Ling Xi. Wasn't this guy asking an idiotic question?

"Well... actually, I think that's fine too."

Ling Xi looked thoughtful, as if she was genuinely considering Elysia's suggestion...

Elysia "..."

Of course, in the end, the two decided to go home. After all, given Elysia's current special situation, even if they went to a hotel tonight, they would most likely just keep Elysia and tell her stories, and at most, treat Elysia to a cup of milk tea.

Chapter 178: I, Seele, am the Prophet!

"Ling Xi, Elysia, you're finally back."

When Ling Xi and Elysia returned home, Sakura immediately greeted them, smiling helplessly, "Why are you back so late? Seele and Ling were starving. If you hadn't come back, they would have eaten me up."

"Hey... hehe, you can ask Ling Xi. It was Ling Xi who took me out to play. I'm going to change my clothes first. See you later!"

Elysia immediately shifted the blame to Ling Xi, then ran back to her room like the wind.

Ling Xi "..."

"Hmph, so you're secretly taking Elysia out to play again?"

Just then, Seele suddenly appeared and overheard Elysia's words, which immediately made her unhappy.

"That's right, that's right, Ling Xi is so biased."

Bell also appeared suddenly and agreed with Seele's words.

"Um... okay, okay, don't be angry. I'll take you out to play next time."

Ling Xi wanted to explain, but for these two girls, no amount of explanation would be as effective as taking them out to play. So Ling Xi gave up on the idea of explaining. Besides... what she and Elysia did this afternoon wasn't anything important.

"That's more like it."

Upon hearing this, Ling immediately perked up and hugged Ling Xi, saying, "Ling Xi is indeed the best."

"But I seem to remember someone saying, 'Go away, I don't have a brother like you...'"

Ling Xi looked at the girl with a half-smile, remembering how she had expelled him from her "brotherhood" last time.

"Hehe, I was wrong."

In response, Ling directly apologized, saying that she was wrong, since it wasn't a big deal anyway.

"Hmph, don't think you can get rid of me in one go."

Although Ling was satisfied, Seele seemed somewhat dissatisfied. Her displeasure wasn't because Ling Xi hadn't taken her out, but rather because Ling Xi had secretly taken Elysia out without inviting her, as if...

Back in Changkong City, Ling Xi and Mobius secretly went out on dates together at night, so... Seele was worried that Ling Xi and Elysia might have the same kind of relationship, although...

She thought it was unlikely, after all, the relationship between Mobius and Elysia could be described as a sweet and salty war, and now that Ling Xi already had Mobius, it was unlikely that she would have any relationship with Elysia, right?

Hmm, probably!

"Alright, alright, Seele, you can do it as many times as you want."

Ling Xi didn't care at all and laughed, "Anyway, we don't have anything to do lately, so as long as you don't feel tired, Seele, we can go out and play every day. By the way, this afternoon, Elysia and I are going to the city to buy a new car, still a four-seater. We can go together then."

"Oh, so you're buying a car."

Hearing Ling Xi's explanation, Seele seemed to understand, but at the same time she was curious, "Didn't you just buy a new car a couple of days ago? Why are you buying another one?"

"Because I gave that car to the Doctor."

Ling Xi explained with a smile, "You know, the research lab is an hour's drive from our home. It would be much more convenient for the Doctor to have a car."

"Oh..."

Seele nodded obediently and didn't ask any more questions.

"Okay, stop chatting and let's eat."

At this moment, Elysia also changed her clothes and came downstairs. She said with a helpless expression, "Today, this guy dragged me to be his guide. Not only did he not treat me to dinner, but he also made me buy him milk tea. After I bought the milk tea, he still wanted to drink my milk tea. Don't you think that's too much?"

"Yes, that's going too far!"

Ling immediately sided with Elysia, instantly betraying Ling Xi.

Ling Xi "..."

Although Ling Xi really wanted to explain, well... well, this kind of thing can't be explained. After all, what Elysia said was the truth. It's impossible for her to explain herself and tell Seele that the milk tea wasn't real milk tea, but Elysia's... cough cough!

Never mind, let's just leave it like this...

After dinner, Sakura put the dishes in the dishwasher and then went to help Rin with her homework. Although there was no formal arrangement for school enrollment yet, Rin's studies had been falling behind under Sakura's care.

"Seele, want to go for a walk?"

Ling Xi then went to Seele's side and extended an invitation to the little angel with a smile. Firstly, it was for the sake of the Doctor's mission, and she wanted to take the opportunity to get to know Seele better. Secondly...

I really enjoy this walk with Seele, yeah, it really is... enjoyable!

"Uh-huh."

Ling Xi took the initiative to invite her, so how could Seele possibly refuse? She immediately nodded in agreement.

"Then let's go."
