One Pink-Haired Girl, Two Pink-Haired Girls... / This Time, I'll Surely Save You!
"Hey... I'm not complaining, it's just..."
Ling Xi rubbed her forehead, looking somewhat troubled, and said with a helpless smile, "Next time... please don't use this kind of trick again, okay? It's lucky it was Ying. She had a good impression of me, and she's also quite gentle and kind. If it were someone else, it would be strange if she didn't call the police."
"I never expected that Sakura would be the one to get infected."
Mobius also pursed his lips and snorted, "It was originally intended for Seele, but who knew Sakura would bump into it, and in the end Sakura drank most of it in a daze, and the remaining small portion was sent to you by Klein."
Ling Xi: "???"
Holy crap, there's a hidden plot here? And... Seele?
Well, once Seele is mentioned, everything becomes clear. After all, the Doctor has always told me to handle Seele, but given Seele's current situation... well, it's not easy for me to make a move.
To my utter surprise, the Doctor also started using tricks.
"Doctor, all I'm doing is progressing a little slower with Seele, is it really necessary to make such a Doctor..."
But what could Ling Xi do in front of Mobius? Hitting him was definitely out of the question, and as for scolding him... Ling Xi was afraid she'd be lying on the Doctor's operating table the next day, so... she could only try to reason with him.
"It's all because of you."
Upon hearing Ling Xi's words, Mobius retorted irritably, "Because you've now fused with Shesha's genes, you have inexhaustible energy. Haven't you noticed that Elysia has been a little afraid of you contacting her lately? But..."
Mobius looked at Ling Xi with some helplessness and smiled, "I know your current situation. It will be very uncomfortable if you don't find a way to release your excess energy, and it may even hurt your body. Elysia is afraid to refuse you precisely because of this. But she is, after all, an ordinary girl. How can you possibly stand it?"
"Eh..."
Ling Xi scratched his head, unsure what to say. While he could sense that Elysia seemed less enthusiastic about that kind of thing lately, she hadn't refused him each time he approached her, or had only half-heartedly agreed. Therefore...
They were unaware of Elysia's condition.
"So, I wanted to ease some of the pressure for us, and also let you and Seele get together as soon as possible, but..."
Mobius spread his hands again and laughed, "Who knew that Sakura would fall for it by sheer coincidence? But... although last night's was just a little additive, it actually only played a supporting role at most. If you didn't have any feelings for each other, I don't think this kind of thing would have happened. Instead, you would have each been playing your own games in your own rooms."
Ling Xi "..."
"It seems... that's indeed the case."
Last night, although I felt something was off, I was perfectly conscious. If I wanted to refuse Sakura last night, I definitely could have done it, but...
Although there was the reason why Sirin bribed him, he asked himself honestly, even if Sirin hadn't appeared, would he have refused?
I might be able to at first, but in that situation, I guarantee I couldn't last five minutes.
So, to put it bluntly, it's ultimately a matter between him and Sakura; the Doctor at most just accelerated one aspect of the process.
"Alright, you should be secretly happy to have such a wonderful girl like Sakura."
Mobius glanced at Ling Xi, then sat down on his bed, yawning as he said, "However, for the time being, you should let Sakura and Elysia take turns. After a while, I will improve this technology, which should be able to suppress the instinct of the Sasha Gene in your body. You should be more normal then."
Ling Xi: "..." So, I'm not normal now?
"Yes, I understand, Doctor!"
Of course, Ling Xi didn't refute Mobius's words. After all, she was his wife. If he didn't trust his wife, who else could he trust? The higher-ups of the Flame-Chasing Moths?
"Hi, Ling Xi, good afternoon."
After Ling Xi left Mobius's room and came to the living room, Elysia happily greeted Ling Xi.
"Elysia ..."
Ling Xi glanced at her and noticed that the girl was playing a game with Seele and Ling. They had just finished a round, so Ling Xi walked over and took Elysia's hand. "Come with me, I have something to tell you!"
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Elysia felt a little scared, after all, Ling Xi usually only went back to her room by herself for one purpose.
Ling Xi "..."
Seeing that Elysia looked a little scared, Ling Xi could only whisper, "I want to talk to you about Sakura."
"Oh... this."
Elysia breathed a slight sigh of relief, but... about Sakura...
Is this guy trying to confess to me? Or... has he already realized he was tricked last night?
Soon, Ling Xi took Elysia back to her room and then said directly, "Elysia, you know about the Doctor's plan last night, right?"
"Huh? Uh..."
Elysia was taken aback at first, then smiled somewhat awkwardly, "Um, Ling Xi, you hear me, although I know Mobius has some kind of plan, I really don't know what the plan is, and last night... I didn't mean to refuse you last night, I just..."
"Elysia ..."
Before Elysia could finish speaking, Ling Xi pulled her into a tight embrace...
"Huh?"
Elysia was immediately puzzled. This guy...
"Feel sorry..."
Then, Elysia heard Ling Xi apologizing...
Chapter 275: One pink-haired girl, two pink-haired girls...
"Elysia ..."
Gently holding Elysia, Ling Xi whispered, "I'm sorry..."
"Huh? Uh-huh... Um, why are you apologizing?"
Clearly, Elysia was also very confused, because according to the previous conversation, she should be the one apologizing. She was even thinking about how to apologize in a way that would make Ling Xi forgive her, but...
What did Ling Xi say in apology?
"Sorry, lately..."
Ling Xi laughed somewhat awkwardly, "Recently, perhaps because I fused with Honkai Beast genes, I'm unaware of the changes happening to my body. I thought it was pretty much the same as before, so..."
"I'm so sorry, Elysia, I... didn't consider your feelings."
After finishing her conversation with Mobius, Ling Xi realized that she had indeed changed a bit recently, most notably with Elysia. In the past, if she had asked Elysia to play games, she would have been more than happy to oblige, and would have been reluctant to leave until the very end. So...
Lately, I still feel that Elysia is the same as before, and I like her very much and am happy to play with her, which is why I keep going out to play with her!
However, Elysia is indeed the same as before, but I am different now. After all, I am now Fused Warrior. Although it is only the initial version, after fusing Honkai Beast genes, how can Elysia, who is just an ordinary person now, compete with me?
So, Elysia's half-hearted behavior these past few days wasn't to enhance the experience; it was because she genuinely couldn't take it anymore, and as a result...
He hadn't even realized it yet, foolishly thinking it was a new trick Elysia was playing.
"Eh..."
Elysia paused for a moment, then chuckled softly, "Idiot, this kind of thing... it's my duty, why are you apologizing? Although... although I might be a little overwhelmed, but... I don't want you to have any negative changes because of this, so..."
Finally, Elysia smiled slightly and said, "I'm available anytime you want, um... of course, it's best not to come just to keep me company, after all, you said you'd treat everyone equally, hehe..."
"From now on... I won't make you do things you don't want to do anymore."
Ling Xi gently held Elysia in her arms and smiled, "It's just... it's just that your personality always makes me feel like you're joking on purpose, but... if you weren't like this, then you wouldn't be the real you."
Elysia: "..." I did that entirely because I didn't want you to feel bad, okay?
"Heh heh, then I really have to thank you."
To be honest, Elysia was quite annoyed. Why did Mobius compromise when he rejected her, but when she rejected him, he thought it was just a game? Damn, was she that kind of person? Hmm... it seemed like she really was.
Okay, okay, this time... we can't blame Ling Xi.
"So... did you take care of what happened last night?"
After finishing talking about herself and Ling Xi, Elysia began to ask about what happened last night. After all, although neither Klein nor Seele were the ones who were ultimately affected, Sakura was quite good too. Not only was she gentle, beautiful, and virtuous, but she was also a former S-rank member of the Poisoned Pupae, and her physique was definitely on par with that of a rank-3!
So, in a sense, Sakura might be a better fit for the current situation Klein and Seele.
"Eh..."
Ling Xi paused for a moment, then nodded silently and said with a wry smile, "Thanks to the Doctor, it's all settled, although... it's a bit different from the script I imagined, especially from what the Doctor just told me."
"Uh... that was just an accident..."
Of course, Elysia also knew what Ling Xi meant by the difference. Seele... had been cut in line again.
"By the way, what do you think of Sakura?"
Elysia suddenly laughed and said, "When I was soaking in the hot spring with Sakura before, I got to see Sakura's perfect figure. Although it's not quite as good as mine, it's still close to perfect. What do you think?"
"Mmm..."
Ling Xi pretended to think about it, and finally nodded, laughing, "High EQ, I feel Sakura is a bit thinner Elysia when you hug her; low EQ, Elysia... is a bit fatter!"
Elysia: "???"
"Hmph... Then from today onwards, don't come looking for me."
Elysia immediately looked angry. She was... fat?
What a joke! I'm the kind of person who absolutely, positively will never gain weight!
Although Sakura might indeed be thinner, after all, that girl trains almost every day, and apart from certain places where she should have gained weight, she really doesn't have an ounce of fat anywhere else. Ugh... it's killing me!
Just kidding.
Ling Xi quickly hugged Elysia and laughed, "I just don't like it when you compare who's better or not. After all, we're all family, and we shouldn't use comparisons to objectify you. Because... each and every one of you is my one and only wife."
"Hmph, you're just trying to fool me..."
Elysia still pouted. She didn't want to know what was unique about the girl; she just wanted to know if this girl really thought she was fat.
"No, Elysia, I'm telling the truth."
Ling Xi still wanted to coax Elysia a little. Although the girl wouldn't really get angry, that meant she didn't need to be coaxed. Because... not being really angry didn't mean she didn't want to be angry; it just meant she didn't want to be angry with herself.
"Hehe..."
Elysia just had a "I believe it" look on her face. It was the truth, and she probably told that truth to many people.
"Knock knock..."
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door!
"Um?"
The two immediately fell silent, and Ling Xi also released her grip on Elysia. Although their relationship had already been made public, they still needed to be a little more mindful of their image.
"Please come in..."
Ling Xi calmly said, "Please come in."
"Excuse me..."
Then, the door opened, and Ling Xi discovered that a pink-haired demon... no, a pink-haired Sakura had entered.
"Cherry?"
When Elysia saw that Sakura had actually come, she seemed a little surprised.
"Huh? Elysia?"
Seeing Elysia in Ling Xi's room, Sakura felt a little awkward, although... this didn't seem surprising, given the relationship between Ling Xi and Elysia...
"I'm sorry, I may have arrived at the wrong time."
Upon seeing Elysia, Sakura decisively decided to retreat first. Although she had no reason to be afraid of anything, after all, Elysia was Ling Xi's person, and so was she, but... how should I put it, it was a bit awkward!
"No!"
Ling Xi quickly grabbed Sakura. Last time she woke up, the Doctor stole her lines, and this time...
"Sakura, you've come... just in time!"
Ling Xi finally couldn't control the DNA within her body and finally uttered the line from the play, and then...
Elysia and Sakura were both completely bewildered, each being held in Ling Xi's arms...
Elysia: "???"
Cherry"???"
Chapter 276: This time, I will definitely save you!
That evening, after playing games with Seele and Ling, the two girls went back to their rooms to wash up and go to bed. As for Ling Xi...
