"Klein..."

Mobius leaned against Klein and laughed, "You just say that Ling Xi was severely injured in the battle with the Herrscher of Wind. Although I have saved him with new technology, Ling Xi will never be able to use any Honkai Energy again. Once he uses Honkai Energy, his body will collapse or even die."

Ling Xi: "???" How come I didn't know that?

"Yes, Doctor!"

Klein quickly jotted down what the Doctor had said.

"Heh, is Xiao Ling Xi wondering?"

Seeing the slight confusion in Ling Xi's eyes, Elysia asked with a smile, "Don't you know why Mobius did this? I can guess..."

"Hmm... Perhaps I already guessed it."

Ling Xi was initially a little confused, but after seeing Elysia's smile, he instantly understood why Mobius issued this statement. After all... he really didn't want to go through that five-minute meeting that caused him to suffer a brain hemorrhage again.

So from now on, let humanity make the effort ourselves. If all else fails, we can always take matters into our own hands. And...

Now that Mebius has acquired rudimentary Stigmata technology, and Mobius has acquired rudimentary Fused Warrior technology, humanity... will no longer be at a complete disadvantage when facing the Herrscher.

"Mmm..."

Seeing that Ling Xi understood her meaning, Mobius skipped the explanation, but she still addressed the three of them seriously, "Ling Xi, Klein, and..."

Mobius looked at the fairy lady, "Especially Elysia, the four of us should know about this. No one Cangxuan Danzhu, Seele, or Sakura, can tell them, understand?"

"Yes, Doctor."

Klein, of course, needed no further explanation; he simply had to carry out the Doctor's orders unconditionally!

"Yes, I know."

Ling Xi nodded silently. After two life-or-death battles with the Herrscher, Ling Xi really didn't want to fight the Herrscher again, so...

Whether it's the next Herrscher or many more Herrscher in the future, let whoever wants to be, go ahead. Anyway, I will definitely not take action until the end of the world.

Don't look at me!

Seeing Mobius looking at her, Elysia spread her hands helplessly and said, "Doctor, you know me. I'm very tight-lipped, like a tight headband. For example, the fact that you like and secretly collect pink dresses, I've only told Ling Xi. I've never told anyone else!"

Ling Xi: "???"

Klein, "!!!" Danger!!!

Mobius: "..." Hello, is this the Poisoned Pupae organization? I want to hire someone to kill a person... no, to kill a fox!

Chapter 254: Children are not allowed to drive.

"Ah, finally I'm home again..."

At the villa entrance, Ling Xi stepped out of the car and couldn't help but stretch. Although the past month had felt like a single night's sleep to her, but...

It's still more comfortable to stay at home.

"Ling Xi!"

Then, a figure in black rushed to Ling Xi's side, sobbing softly, "Thank goodness... I'm so glad you're alright, sob sob..."

"Um... Seele, don't be like that, I'm perfectly fine, aren't I?"

Feeling Seele's embrace and sobs, Ling Xi was also somewhat moved. As usual, she wanted to touch Seele's hair, but suddenly realized that she could only touch the back of Seele's head...

Ling Xi: "..." It's really inconvenient to shrink like this...

"Ling Xi, you..."

After hugging for a while, Seele looked at Ling Xi with some curiosity, and then couldn't help but reach out and touch Ling Xi's head, laughing, "You look younger than me now, so you can't keep saying I'm still young, can you?"

"Ahem, this is only temporary. I'll be back to normal in a few days."

Ling Xi silently moved Seele's hand away, and rubbed her forehead sadly. She didn't know how to put it, but... shrinking down had its advantages and disadvantages. The advantage was that it seemed all the girls liked to hug her, and of course, she liked that too. As for the disadvantages...

Everyone who sees me wants to pat my head. Damn, do these people really think I'm a little kid?

"Then I want to hug you a little longer while I can!"

Seele hugged Ling Xi without hesitation, looking very happy. After all, it had been more than a month since she last saw Ling Xi, and... such a cute Ling Xi at that.

"Alright, alright, you can hold me as long as you want later, let's go home first..."

Ling Xi was too lazy to complain anymore. She gently patted Seele's bottom, signaling the girl to let go.

"Hmph..."

After Ling Xi spanked her bottom, Seele let out a soft hum, but didn't say anything more. She simply took Ling Xi's arm, and the two walked home together.

Right behind the two of them, Mobius and Elysia were also standing there. Elysia deliberately asked Mobius, "Mobius, look how arrogant Seele is, can you tolerate this?"

Mobius "..."

Mobius just rolled his eyes at Elysia. He didn't know if he could tolerate it, but Ling Xi was quite patient. It had been more than half a year since he "met" Seele again, but he still hadn't devoured Seele.

Unlike me, I thought about getting married after knowing Ling Xi for only a month, and we became family in less than two months. Unlike Seele, who was so indecisive.

"Elysia, didn't you say you were going to cook for Ling Xi? Now that we're home, it's your turn to perform."

Mobius smiled slightly at Elysia. She knew that this girl's favorite thing to do was to slack off, and preparing food was a relatively troublesome thing, so... this girl would probably refuse.

"Sure, no problem!"

However, Elysia agreed, smiling, "But I think Sakura and Seele have already prepared the ingredients for tonight's meal. If we change things now, it might waste the ingredients, so..."

"I'll just make a dish later as a token of my appreciation, but I promise it will be something Ling Xi likes to eat."

Elysia didn't refuse, but only said she would cook one dish, even though it would still take time, but she wanted it to be easier.

"As expected of you..."

Mobius rolled his eyes at Elysia again, then went inside without saying anything more.

"Wait for me, Mobius!"

Elysia naturally followed quickly, because she clearly preferred staying at home to being at the research institute.

That night, Elysia wisely refrained from disturbing Ling Xi. Although she really wanted to cause trouble, she was more afraid that Mobius would actually hire someone to kill her. So she gave Ling Xi and Mobius some time. After all, Ling Xi still had a week left to shrink, and tomorrow would be enough...

And in Mobius's room...

"Puff..."

Seeing Ling Xi in her pajamas after her shower, Mobius finally couldn't help but laugh out loud...

Ling Xi "..."

"Is it my fault? After all, these were originally my clothes, they just look too big on me now."

Ling Xi flicked her sleeves, looking somewhat speechless. When she got home today, she just went home normally and didn't think much of it. As a result, she forgot that her body size had shrunk and that wearing her old clothes would feel a bit awkward.

"No, no, no, I was just thinking about happy things."

Mobius quickly shook his head in denial, indicating that he was absolutely not laughing at Ling Xi.

Ling Xi: "..." Your wife is about to give birth? Uh... wait, you're my wife.

But Ling Xi was too lazy to complain at this point. Oh well, she'd just have to make do. Anyway, she'd be back to normal in a few days.

"Alright, go to bed right after you finish your shower."

Seeing that Ling Xi had finished washing up, Mobius put away his laptop and said with a smile, "After all, you've only been awake for a short time, so it's better for you to rest more recently."

"Huh? Is the Doctor taking a break?"

However, upon hearing Mobius's words, Ling Xi seemed somewhat disappointed. After all... how should she put it? Ever since she woke up today, she felt like she had inexhaustible energy. If it weren't for spending time with the Doctor, she wouldn't even want to go to bed yet, because she wanted to...

Go find something to fight!

"What, do you still want to do bad things even now?"

Mobius also silently observed Ling Xi. He wanted to refuse, after all, Ling Xi had slept for a month and had only just woken up today. Logically, she should be resting properly. However... looking at Ling Xi now, Elysia's words, "She can be cuddled and hugged, but what use is she..."

"Cough cough..."

After a moment, Mebius coughed lightly and calmly said, "Alright, if you want it, then I'll listen to you. After all... researching the abilities of mice after they shrink is also part of the experiment, but..."

Mobius looked at Ling Xi with a half-smile and whispered, "Little guinea pig, don't disappoint me, after all, you've shrunk now..."

Ling Xi "..."

Ling Xi didn't answer, but instead pulled Mobius into her arms and kissed her. Mobius naturally didn't resist, but...

There was still a strange feeling in my heart. Although the person in front of me was indeed Ling Xi, the real Ling Xi, looking at this Ling Xi was both familiar and slightly unfamiliar, I still had a very peculiar feeling in my heart.

Regardless of her feelings, Ling Xi skillfully won her over again...

As for Mobius's earlier concern about whether he would be disappointed, all I can say is...

"Doctor, you can't rest yet..."

Chapter 255: Best friends are naturally... for betraying!

"Ugh..."

The next morning, Mobius was eating breakfast at the dining table in the living room; after all, he had to go to the lab later, but...

She seemed a little listless.

"Wow, Mobius, what time did you guys go to sleep last night?"

Seeing Mobius's expression, Elysia was also very curious and laughed, "I remember the last time you looked like this was more than four months ago. I asked you the same question then, but you replied that you listened to stories all night. This time... it can't be the same again, can it?"

Mobius "..."

"Awoo..."

Mobius rubbed her forehead, a hint of sadness in her eyes. She suddenly felt that... accepting Elysia wasn't such a bad option, because last night...

I don't know if it's just my imagination, or if Ling Xi has been holding back for too long, but that guy's fighting power is simply off the charts. It feels like that guy doesn't even belong to the human category.

Mobius could swear that even in the more than six months she had been with Ling Xi, this was the first time she had felt such immense pressure. Even on their first day Ling Xi, she had only felt tired, but not resistant, and certainly not like yesterday when the "Prime Minister" had made her feel nauseous...

It seems that after fusing with the genes of Honkai Beast, the enhancement to the body is all-encompassing. After all, that guy... is now a "monster"!

No, no, at this rate, I'll be played to death by that guy sooner or later. I need to find someone to share the burden, like...

That vixen!

Doesn't this vixen like to add color to her hats? I can't beat her, but someone else can!

"Elysia ..."

So, Mobius smiled and looked at Elysia, saying, "Actually, it's nothing. It's just that Ling Xi and I haven't been together for so long, so we're all a little excited. But..."

Mobius deliberately said, "Ling Xi is much stronger than before, so Elysia, I advise you not to get close to Ling Xi. This is advice from your best friend."

"Oh, don't worry, I've got it."

Elysia nodded decisively, looking very confident, but in her heart she was thinking about how to teach Ling Xi a lesson tonight. As for Mobius's warning...

Elysia didn't care at all. She knew that back in the park, she had completely drained Ling Xi, but that night he still managed to get with Mobius without being detected, so...

From this, we can draw the conclusion that Mobius's strength was just so-so to begin with. Perhaps... Ling Xi had been protecting Mobius's body all along, which is why she hadn't used her true abilities. But last night, Ling Xi used her normal strength, and then Mobius couldn't keep up.

However, based on his experience of having fought Ling Xi hundreds of times, even if Ling Xi went all out, she wouldn't be a match for him. As for Mobius's warning...

Haha, isn't this girl just trying to hog everything? That's why she exaggerated to scare me off, but is that even possible? Of course not!

Anyway, Elysia could already picture Ling Xi kneeling on the ground begging her tonight...

Moreover, if he can defeat Ling Xi, Ling Xi can kill Mobius, then... rounding it up, it means he can instantly kill Mobius.

"Okay, I've got it. Remember, don't mess with Ling Xi lately."

Seeing Elysia's confident expression, Mobius was secretly delighted. What was this vixen thinking? Did she really think he didn't know? Hmph, if he didn't say it like that, would this girl fall for it?

Hmph, just you wait and see. This girl will know what cruelty is tonight.

"By the way, Mobius, there's something I'd like to ask you."

After finishing her casual conversation, Elysia decided to talk to Mobius about something serious.

"Hmm, what is it?"

Mobius calmly ate his breakfast.

"When we tested Ling Xi yesterday, that's what Ling Xi said..."
