I Could Consider Getting Married! / Speak It and It Happens: Honkai Descends!
"Sure enough, the tickets are sold out..."
The next day, Ling Xi accompanied Elysia around as usual, and then they stopped by the Eden concert ticket office, but...
The tickets were snapped up long ago by a group of fans who had been queuing up since last night.
"So what if they're sold out? I don't necessarily have to go see them anyway."
Elysia, on the other hand, seemed quite calm and smiled, saying, "After all, as I said last time, Eden's final concert is for more people to see, so whether we go or not is not really important."
"Do you want to go?"
Ling Xi looked at Elysia silently and smiled, "If you want to go, I'll go get the tickets."
Ling Xi wasn't bragging. After all, with his current connections and power, he could get tickets whenever he wanted, whether by asking Mobius for help, seeking Eden's help, or directly using the Flame-Chasing Moths's authority. So...
Tickets—if you want them, you can definitely get them!
"Hehe, then let's forget about it."
Elysia shook her head and laughed, "I used to like concerts because you didn't come out with me. Now that we're on vacation alone, why bother with concerts? You'd be better off spending more time with me."
"Okay, fine, you decide."
Seeing that Elysia had said so, Ling Xi stopped insisting. After all, the reason he brought Elysia out to play was to make her happy. If he insisted on going against Elysia's wishes, wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse?
"How about we go to the beach today?"
Elysia immediately hugged Ling Xi's arm happily and said with a smile, "Don't worry, although the Honkai of Changkong City has affected some of the marine environment, the impact on Canghai City is not significant. How about we go to the beach today? After all..."
At this point, Elysia grinned mischievously and said, "Don't you want to see what I look like in a swimsuit?"
"Yes, yes, Elysia Ellie, it's up to you."
Ling Xi simply smiled and nodded in agreement to Elysia's suggestion. After all, she was just accompanying Alicia on this trip, so let her go wherever she wanted!
At night, Ling Xi took Elysia to the top of the Canghai City Tower. They ate dinner while bathing in the moonlight. Although the place was relatively expensive, it wasn't a big problem. They would put it on the Doctor's tab... uh, on the Doctor's tab!
Moreover, the human monetary system will probably collapse in a while, so why not spend more now!
"Hmm, the steak here doesn't taste as good as the one we had together last time."
While eating her steak, Elysia couldn't help but complain, saying with a smile, "The scenery here is nice, but the food is just so-so."
"I think it's alright..."
Ling Xi didn't really notice the difference. After all, for someone like her who prefers braised pork, she couldn't really taste any difference. It was certainly fragrant, but Ling Xi still asked curiously, "By the way, which was the last time you mentioned that we ate together alone?"
"It was the time I bought the car, and then we spent an afternoon together in the park."
Elysia also looked at Ling Xi with a mischievous smile and couldn't help but laugh, "Hey, I didn't expect so much time to have passed."
"Uh... heh, yeah, it's been so long."
Ling Xi couldn't help but smile. Unconsciously, she had been with Elysia for so long, but thinking about these things, it felt like it was just yesterday. Perhaps... this is probably why time flies when you're with someone you like.
"Hey, Ling Xi, can you tell me about your future plans?"
While enjoying a delicious dinner, Elysia asked Ling Xi a question.
"What are your plans for the future?"
Ling Xi hesitated for a moment, then asked with a smile, "Elysia, which aspect are you referring to?"
"Heh, don't you know which aspect it is?"
Elysia smiled slightly and said, "Although you didn't tell me as much as Mobius, I still know quite a few things, like... the reason I left Mu Continent this time is because you and Mobius talked about something, right? If I'm not mistaken..."
Elysia picked up her fork and gently shook it, pointing it at Ling Xi. She smiled and said, "It's probably because the Mu Continent is about to face another, even more powerful, Honkai event. That's why you and Mobius chose to evacuate humanity's elite scholars from the Mu Continent to prevent humanity from falling into a desperate situation, right?"
"Why..."
Ling Xi could only sigh and nod in response, "I can only say Elysia you always seem to have read the script before, you always guess so accurately."
"Hehe, maybe I really have read the script."
Elysia grinned mischievously, "So, my guess was right?"
"Um!"
Ling Xi nodded slightly and said softly, "Elysia, I'm only telling you this besides the Doctor, and you can't tell anyone else either. You should understand that, just like back in Changkong City."
"Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't tell me, because I already know."
Elysia shook her head helplessly and smiled, "There must be a very powerful Herrscher about to descend upon the Mu Continent, right?"
Ling Xi "..."
"Ling Xi, what do you think..."
Elysia smiled slightly and asked, "Will humanity... defeat the Honkai?"
"Defeat the Honkai?"
Ling Xi thought for a moment, then gently shook her head. "I don't know. Elysia, you know I'm not from this world. Before I came to this world, I saw countless parallel worlds, and so far, no world has been able to defeat the Honkai, at least... in our universe."
"Hehe, is that so..."
Elysia couldn't help but laugh and said, "But that's not necessarily true. After all, those worlds don't have you, so it's not surprising that they can't defeat the Honkai. But... our world has you. Maybe you are the key element for us to defeat the Honkai. With you here, maybe we can really defeat the Honkai."
"Hehe, probably."
Ling Xi simply smiled, neither refuting nor affirming. Defeat the Honkai... if it were in a post-civilization era, she might be interested in trying, but for this Previous Era, she had completely lost the desire to save it, because it was truly beyond saving.
Even though Mobius and May had complete control of the Flame-Chasing Moths since two months ago, and could do their utmost to defeat the Honkai, but...
This has nothing to do with me anymore. After all, I've been on Honkai side ever since the Seele incident. It's already more than enough that I'm not helping the Honkai destroy human civilization. Do you really expect me to help humanity?
That's a really lame joke!
However, Ling Xi will not feel guilty, much less remorseful, because... this is humanity's own choice, they are the ones who pushed themselves toward the Honkai!
Chapter 375: Marriage is something I can consider!
Hearing Ling Xi's perfunctory answer, Elysia didn't care and just asked, "Hey, Ling Xi, what are your plans after we defeat the Honkai?"
"What are your plans after defeating the Honkai?"
Although Ling Xi thought the question was absurd, it was, after all, a question about his wife, so Ling Xi still smiled seriously and said, "After defeating the Honkai, people will definitely return to normal life. If I had to say, it would be basically the same as the life before the Fifth Herrscher."
"Oh, so what about the wedding?"
Elysia immediately pouted, looking somewhat unhappy.
"Eh..."
Ling Xi hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "As for marriage, of course we should arrange it as soon as possible. We can't wait until we defeat the Honkai to get married, can we?"
"Hmph, that's more like it..."
Elysia smiled again and asked, "So, when do you think would be a good time to get married?"
"I think..."
Ling Xi thought about it for a moment, and finally smiled and said, "Why don't we go back and discuss this with the Doctor and Sakura, and make arrangements as soon as possible?"
Because Ling Xi knew very well that with the continuous arrival of Herrscher, human life would become increasingly difficult, so...
If you don't get married early, you may not have the conditions to get married in the future. After all, material conditions are the most basic requirement for a grand wedding. In a future era where even human survival is difficult, how can a wedding be grand?
"Hmm... that works, but..."
Elysia didn't refuse, but looked at Ling Xi with a smile and asked, "If, if you could only choose one person to marry, then... who would you choose?"
"Huh?"
Ling Xi was somewhat perplexed by Elysia's question. Wasn't this just like the dilemma of whether to save his mother or his wife? Both were traps!
"Ahem, only children make choices. As an adult, of course I..."
Ling Xi shook hands with Santa Claus and said in a serious tone, "I want them all!"
"No!"
Elysia resolutely refused, scoffing, "I already said it was a hypothetical, not a real choice. I just wanted to know who you would choose if you were given the option."
Ling Xi "..."
"I want to be alone..."
Ling Xi rubbed her forehead, truly speechless. Why do girls always like to ask such pointless questions?
Who is Jingjing?
Elysia looked serious and snorted, "Fine, having us isn't enough, you actually found another girl named Quiet, you jerk!"
Ling Xi: "..." I mean...
"Alright, Elysia, haven't you had enough fun yet?"
Ling Xi looked helplessly at the girl in front of her and said irritably, "Hurry up and eat when you've had enough fun. Don't forget we have to go to the night market after dinner."
"Oh, just kidding."
Elysia smiled and said, "After all, girls as cute and sensible as me are very rare. What I just said is the norm between couples. I just wanted to let you experience what it's like to be in a real relationship."
Ling Xi: "..." Do you have some misunderstanding about love...?
Back when Seele and I were together, well... okay, although there were some minor disagreements, it was generally a good time!
As for Dr. Mobius... well, it can't even be called a relationship, it's a complete whirlwind marriage, and the kind where you get married after you've already gotten married. And there won't be any conflicts between me and Mobius.
As for Sakura, to be honest, he still doesn't understand how they got together. It's just a strange feeling that they ended up together. And it's all thanks to the Doctor and Klein's help, otherwise, things between him and Sakura...
Well, if nothing unexpected happens, then I and Sakura are most likely still friends!
As for Elysia, she's been the one throwing herself at him from beginning to end. Although he initially thought he'd rather starve to death than fall for Elysia's tricks, he's now actively seeking Elysia out every day, completely smitten. In short...
Anyway, apart from when he was with Seele, which was slightly normal, the other three of them got together in a very inexplicable way.
"Well then, Ling Xi, let's talk about marriage."
Elysia rested her chin on her hand, gazing at Ling Xi with a wistful smile, and said with a hint of longing, "If the wedding is too small, I might get a little upset, and... there might not just be me, but others too, so..."
Elysia smiled slightly and said, "The venue, the car fleet, and the conference hall all need to be big, big enough that the whole world can know about them. What do you think?"
"Forehead..."
Ling Xi didn't know if Elysia was joking, but she still answered seriously, "If that's the case, then the preparation might be quite troublesome, and it won't be able to be done in a short time."
"Then let's prepare a little longer, anyway..."
Elysia looked at Ling Xi and smiled slightly, "In the end, no matter what the cost, we will definitely defeat the Honkai, so... we can take it slow."
"I..."
Ling Xi seemed to want to say something, but hesitated for a moment, then nodded and smiled, "Yes, no matter the cost, humanity... will definitely defeat the Honkai!"
Perhaps influenced by Elysia's confidence, Ling Xi inexplicably uttered Ancestor Kevin quote!
"Uh-huh!"
Elysia nodded vigorously, then stood up and whispered in Ling Xi's ear, "I'll let you in on a secret. I'm actually a prophet, so... I know that humanity will definitely defeat the Honkai, right after we get married!"
Ling Xi: "..." A prophet, huh? Well, too bad, I'm the Wolf King, and I'll kill you tonight!
"Ling Xi!"
Suddenly, Elysia called out to Ling Xi again.
"Um?"
Ling Xi immediately looked up at Elysia, and then...
"Hmm..."
Ling Xi was greeted by Elysia's soft lips...
Ling Xi "..."
Faced with Elysia's sudden attack, Ling Xi remained completely calm. After all, she was already used to Elysia's sneak attacks, because it was the same at home. This girl would often sneak up and kiss her, and she never wanted to refuse...
So, Ling Xi simply hugged Elysia and made her sit on his lap so he could kiss her lips better, and also get a little more comfortable, since...
When you're kissing, your hands are so idle, you have to find something to do, just like in life, you either go mountain climbing or explore canyons, how can you be mediocre?
