The Serpent's Rebirth!

"Ahem, Elysia, I'm going to tutor Rin. You should get some rest."

However, seeing Elysia's completely undisguised expression, Ling Xi decisively decided to back down first; there was no shame in that...

"Hehe..."

However, Elysia slowly approached Ling Xi, then gently hugged Ling Xi's arm, and said with a smile, "Lingxi has her sister helping her with tutoring, why are you getting involved? Besides, don't you know your own level? Tutoring her, huh?"

"Forehead..."

Ling Xi seemed to want to say something more...

"Alright, alright, let's get some rest..."

Elysia grabbed Ling Xi's arm, licked her lips, and seemed a little impatient.

"Elysia, I haven't taken a shower yet..."

At this point, although Ling Xi had basically resigned herself to her fate, she still wanted to stall for a little longer, at least... so that she could rest a little longer.

"Huh? Is that so..."

Elysia smiled again and whispered, "That's perfect, I haven't washed either, let's wash together."

Ling Xi "..."

"Oh... this isn't appropriate, is it?"

Ling Xi scratched her head, feeling somewhat embarrassed and wanting to refuse, because Ling Xi knew very well that if she were to shower with Elysia... it would definitely be more than just a simple shower.

How could that be?

Elysia smiled and said, "Given our relationship, we've done everything we should and shouldn't have done. What's wrong with taking a bath together? Oh, and I can even help you scrub, hehe..."

Elysia suddenly leaned closer to Ling Xi's body, sniffed gently, and said with a look of disgust, "Ugh... you smell of sweat. Looks like I need to take a good shower."

"Don't worry, it's really just a shower. Don't you believe me?"

Seeing Ling Xi's wary expression, Elysia made a righteous and resolute guarantee, while scoffing, "Besides, you clearly wanted to come together a few days ago, why don't you want to today? Could it be..."

Elysia hummed softly, "Once you get me, you won't cherish me anymore, right?"

"I didn't..."

Ling Xi quickly denied it, and said with a helpless smile, "When have I ever stopped cherishing Elysia?"

"But you don't want to shower with me..."

Elysia pouted, looking quite annoyed...

"This has nothing to do with whether you cherish it or not, right?"

Ling Xi looked at Elysia speechlessly. It felt like... ever since they got together, this girl had become more and more clingy, although... he didn't dislike Elysia like this.

"Snort..."

Elysia just hummed softly, then closed her eyes and hummed, "Anyway, you decide. Either we shower together, or... I'll run away from home and never come back."

Ling Xi "..."

"It's settled then, it's just a shower, okay? We'll talk about everything else after I'm done!"

In the end, Ling Xi chose to compromise. After all, it was impossible to really let Elysia run away from home. Although she didn't believe Alicia would do that, what if she did? Ling Xi couldn't afford to lose this gamble.

"Of course, do I look like that kind of person?"

Elysia smiled again, then happily hugged Ling Xi and said with a laugh, "Come on, carry me inside..."

"Wait a minute, let's prepare some clean clothes first."

Ling Xi planned to put Elysia on the bed and then went to find some clothes!

"Why bother changing clothes..."

However, Elysia hugged Ling Xi tightly and whispered with a smile, "We can find clothes tomorrow..."

"Huh? What should we wear tonight?"

Ling Xi looked at Elysia speechlessly.

"Hehe."

Elysia grinned mischievously, "Going back to your room after a shower is perfect, isn't it? Why do you need to wear clothes? Of course, if you like, I can go along with just wearing a dress..."

Ling Xi, "???" is slander! This is slander!

"We've finally gotten rid of that beast."

"Although we suffered nearly three thousand casualties, we won!"

Around 10 p. m., thunderous applause erupted at the headquarters of the Flame-Chasing Moths, because... after paying the price of more than 3,000 people, humanity had finally killed Shesha.

So, at this moment, everyone was very excited because humanity had defeated Shesha with its own strength!

"They actually won..."

At the research institute, Mobius also received the news. Although... it was a Pyrrhic victory, just as he had expected, humanity had at least eliminated Shesha!

"Klein, help me apply for a sample from Shesha."

Upon learning of Shesha's destruction, Mobius immediately applied for samples for research, as he was, after all, a scientist of the Flame-Chasing Moths and was naturally qualified to do so.

"Doctor ..."

After submitting the application, Klein seemed somewhat hesitant.

"What happened? Did they refuse?"

Mobius frowned slightly. Even if he had some minor conflicts with headquarters, they were only matters of principle. Researching Shesha was an academic matter, and headquarters should not refuse him, both morally and logically.

"Well... headquarters didn't refuse, but they said that Shesha samples are relatively rare, so..."

Klein said somewhat awkwardly, "Doctor, you need to apply in the queue, it should take about a week."

Mobius: "..." Such a big Shesha, and you're telling me the sample size isn't enough?

"Hmph, these guys really won't change their ways..."

Mobius gave a slightly annoyed snort, because she knew very well that this was just an excuse, a roundabout way of rejecting her application, but not a direct rejection. They were using the excuse of insufficient sample size, so she couldn't say anything, after all...

Shesha's body is with them, so whether it's enough or not is up to them.

"Doctor, should we reapply?"

Klein was somewhat helpless about this and silently asked Mobius if he wanted to reapply.

"Never mind, I don't want it."

Mobius scoffed, "It's just a Honkai Beast, what's the big deal? I'll have Ling Xi catch one for me later. Klein, let's continue researching the Herrscher Core."

"Uh... I understand, Doctor."

Seeing that his Doctor was a little angry, Klein naturally wouldn't go against Mobius's wishes, but... it was a bit of a pity. His Doctor was so looking forward to obtaining the Shesha sample, but...

Sigh, Klein really doesn't know what to say...

In Changkong City, at the temporary base, the nearly 30-meter-long body of Shesha was placed here, surrounded by bright lights, guards, and researchers who had come to conduct research!

However, no one noticed that Shesha's heart, which had stopped beating, began to beat again...

Chapter 197: The Rebirth of the Snake!

"Ling Xi, Ling Xi, wake up..."

The next morning, Ling Xi vaguely heard Elysia's voice while still half asleep...

"Elysia ..."

Ling Xi rubbed her eyes, looking sleepily at the fairy sleeping next to her. At this moment, she was only wearing a very thin nightgown, or rather, a semi-transparent one, which looked almost like she wasn't wearing anything up close.

"What's wrong? What time is it?"

Rubbing his eyes, Ling Xi clearly didn't want to get up. He had fought with this girl for quite a while last night, and... it was still early.

"Headquarters... no, it was Klein just sent a message."

Elysia picked up Ling Xi's phone and laughed, "About Changkong... Awoo..."

Before she could finish speaking, Elysia was embraced by Ling Xi.

Ling Xi pulled Elysia into his arms, kissed her, then closed his eyes again, yawning as he said, "It's too early now, let's sleep a little longer. We can talk about everything later..."

Elysia "..."

Helpless, Elysia could only put up with this guy and continue sleeping...

When Ling Xi woke up again, she found that Elysia was gone; it seemed she had already gotten up...

After quickly washing up and getting dressed, Ling Xi went to the living room and saw Elysia and Sakura chatting on the balcony.

Good morning, you two.

Ling Xi promptly greeted him. This kind of life—having someone to play with at night and sleeping in until dawn—was truly wonderful.

The only slightly awkward thing is that Elysia is too strong, or... as Elysia said that day, I am too weak.

"Ling Xi".

Seeing Ling Xi finally get up, Ying immediately smiled and gently asked, "Are you hungry? I'll prepare breakfast for you."

"Don't bother preparing breakfast for this guy."

As soon as Sakura finished speaking, Elysia laughed and said, "Look, it's almost eleven o'clock. I think it would be more reasonable to just prepare lunch. But... Ling Xi, you're too lazy. You're getting up so late."

"Forehead..."

Ling Xi looked at Elysia speechlessly. "Who do you think caused me to get up so late?"

Of course, Ling Xi wouldn't dare say it out loud, after all, Ying was still there, and besides...

Elysia is someone you can't afford to offend. If I mess with her, she can complain to the Doctor during the day and bully me relentlessly at night, so...

I'll remember this grudge.

"By the way, Elysia, this morning in bed... um... cough cough."

Realizing she had almost let something slip, Ling Xi quickly asked, "What were you planning to say to me this morning?"

"Oh, you mean this?"

Elysia immediately smiled and said, "It's about Changkong City. Didn't I tell you yesterday that the Flame-Chasing Moths sent out a force of nearly 10,000 to encircle and annihilate Shesha? The battle report has already been sent back."

"Really? So what was the result? Shesha out?"

Upon hearing Elysia's words, Ling Xi quickly pressed for details, as this matter was quite important. Eliminating Shesha sooner would reduce human losses, and at the same time... her Doctor could also obtain the samples she wanted.

"Well..."

Elysia thought for a moment and smiled, "They were wiped out, but not completely. As for the Flame-Chasing Moths' forces, you could say they won, but not completely."

Ling Xi: "???" Hearing your words is like hearing a profound truth!

Could you say it again in a language that humans can understand?

Ling Xi rolled her eyes at Elysia, wondering what was wrong with her.

"Hehe, I told you, this is the result."

Elysia shrugged and then smiled helplessly, "There were two battles in total. In the first battle, humanity paid the price of nearly three thousand lives to lure Shesha into the pre-arranged trap. With the help of air support, they successfully killed Shesha."

"Huh?"

After hearing Elysia's answer, Ling Xi seemed a little confused. "Since Shesha has already been killed, isn't the battle over? What about the second battle?"

"Because... Shesha has come back to life."

Elysia calmly stated, "When the Flame-Chasing Moths Squad killed Shesha was approximately thirty meters long. Transport planes couldn't carry that length, so the body was placed at the temporary collection point in Changkong City, with the intention of transporting it back by cargo ship, but..."

At this point, Elysia's expression turned serious, her usual playful demeanor vanished, and she said with utmost seriousness, "Just six hours after killing Shesha... reappeared!"
