Elysia: I Wasn't Lying!

"Whoosh..."

Afterwards, Ling Xi sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Aponia still lying beside her, and silently lit a cigarette. Her feelings were a little complicated. Well...

What have I done?

Logically speaking, he already has no shortage of girls. Even considering the side effects of Shesha, Seele, Sakura, and Elysia should be more than enough to satisfy the aftereffects of her condition. But...

Why did I suddenly feel like a switch had been flipped on when I was facing Aponia? My mind was only focused on getting Aponia, and then...

This scene reminded Ling Xi of the time when she and Ying got together in a daze. It was because Mobius wanted to trick Seele that a little something was added to the milk tea, which she and Ying ended up drinking, leading to what happened that night...

This time, Ling Xi also had the same feeling. Could it be that it was the cup of tea that Aponia poured for her?

In short, Ling Xi felt that Aponia was problematic, after all...

Never mind...

In the end, Ling Xi shook her head, not wanting to question Aponia about it. Even if it really was her scheme, she wouldn't lose out, since Aponia was top-notch in terms of figure, face, and touch...

Although I'll probably prefer Seele, who's a bit petite, later on...

Ahem, wait a minute, military police, let me explain first!

"Aponia".

After a long silence, Ling Xi turned to look at Aponia.

"Is there something you need?"

Aponia sat up as well. Although Ling Xi had completely removed her equipment, she didn't seem to care at all. Well... that makes sense, since Ling Xi had already explored 100% of her area, so there wouldn't be a situation like, "Let's explore the previous areas later!"

"Although you said I wouldn't have to take responsibility, but..."

Ling Xi gently hugged Aponia and smiled, "I will definitely keep my promise to you!"

"Yes, I know..."

Aponia smiled and said softly, "I knew you would say that, which is why I said that before. You... you really didn't disappoint me."

Ling Xi: "..." Good heavens...

I thought our love was love at first sight, but I never expected... it turned out to be just a routine!

"Ling Xi ..."

Suddenly, Aponia pounced on Ling Xi and said with a smile, "There's still time, can you... stay with me a little longer?"

"Forehead..."

For a moment, Ling Xi hesitated. After all, it was already quite early, and she would have to go find Seele and Ling in a little while.

"Ugh..."

However, before Ling Xi could answer, Aponia had already kissed Ling Xi...

Ling Xi "..."

Aponia's body was already so sinful; just standing there was sinful enough. And now she was taking the initiative...

In this world, which veteran cadre could withstand such a test?

In the end, Ling Xi admitted that she had fallen...

Damn it, this wicked nun! Let me purify her!

"Sirin, where's my supply card?"

After leaving Aponia's house, Ling Xi returned to her room and asked Sirin about the supply card.

Where can I find supply cards?

Sirin pursed her lips and snorted irritably, "The person who accompanied you this afternoon doesn't seem to meet the requirements for obtaining a supply card."

"Hmm, so that's how it is..."

Ling Xi wasn't particularly surprised by this result, after all, she wasn't familiar with Aponia, and what had happened before...

If I'm not mistaken, it must have been her doing, and...

Essentially, this is more like a mutually beneficial transaction, so...

It's not surprising at all that she doesn't meet the 90-point favorability rating standard.

Oh well, Ling Xi doesn't need those ten supply cards anymore anyway, since the minimum is to guarantee a person and a soul!

Besides, even without the supply card reward, getting Aponia isn't a bad deal, since she's truly amazing.

However, now that we have acquired Aponia, it also means we must assume corresponding responsibilities. Of course, this doesn't mean taking care of her, but rather... ensuring her safety!

After all, Aponia has said many times that she will die, and that it is something that is bound to happen in the future!

And coincidentally, since I don't belong to this world, I can use forces from outside the world to influence its fate. I have already proven this to Seele and the others; I have the ability to modify the plot!

So, for Aponia's safety, it seems I'll have to put in another effort...

Huh? Wait a minute!

If Elysia's initial guess was correct, the Honkai God have a penchant for creating unbelievable plot twists, and it's highly likely that Herrscher will appear from her side in the future— Klein's prediction has already come true, and Rin's future prediction is likely the same—while Elysia's hasn't been confirmed yet, so...

Only the Eleventh Herrscher of Herrscher of Restraint remains, and Aponia said that without her own Sweet Rain, her fate would certainly be death. Holy crap...

Could it be that the Herrscher of Restraint is actually Aponia?

Ling Xi "..."

Well, things shouldn't be that outrageous, but if the plot really is this absurd, then what about Aponia...?

Good grief, if that's really the case, then it seems like I didn't make any profit this time. No, I need to find some time to go to Aponia and make it back.

"Hi, Ling Xi, are you there?"

Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and a pink fairy girl peeked in, smiling at Ling Xi. "Wow, you're finally back! I didn't see you when I came looking for you this afternoon. By the way, where did you go?"

"Um... I chatted with a Fused Warrior for a while, about the future, destiny and stuff."

Ling Xi didn't want to deceive Elysia, but she also didn't want to tell Elysia about Aponia, since Aponia had said that Elysia would die, and... that she would be killed by him!

"Oh, really?"

Elysia clearly sensed that Ling Xi wasn't telling the truth, but she didn't care. She leaned over and took Ling Xi's arm, smiling, "Alright then, Ling Xi, let's go have dinner."

"Elysia ..."

Ling Xi hugged Elysia directly, but... this time he didn't hold Elysia in his arms. Instead, he gently hugged Elysia's waist and buried his head in Elysia's chest, like... a reliance embrace.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Ling Xi's behavior seemed to have piqued Elysia's curiosity, after all... this guy rarely hugged her like this.

"It's nothing, can I hold you for a little while...?"

Ling Xi gently shook her head, wanting only to hold Elysia a little longer...

"Hehe, of course you can..."

Elysia didn't ask any further questions, gently patted Ling Xi's head, and smiled, "You're a good boy, pat pat..."

Ling Xi "..."

Chapter 433: Elysia: I didn't lie!

"Elysia ..."

Ling Xi tilted her head slightly to look at Elysia.

"Yes, I'm here..."

Elysia gently hugged Ling Xi's back with both hands and smiled, "Is there anything you want to say?"

"Waaah..."

Ling Xi stepped out of Elysia's arms, then took Elysia's hand and sat down on the edge of the bed, smiling as she asked, "Elysia, have you thought about our future?"

Our future?

Elysia seemed to hesitate for a moment, but then immediately smiled and said, "Well... then, it must be a future where everyone lives happily together after the Honkai is destroyed."

"Oh..."

Ling Xi smiled, not as a mockery, but as an agreement with Elysia's beautiful aspirations, and asked, "Elysia, do you really believe we can defeat the Honkai?"

"Of course."

Elysia, with one hand on her hip, said proudly rather than playfully, "I told you, didn't I? We... can definitely defeat the Honkai!"

"But, as I've told you before, in every parallel world I've seen, without exception, humanity... has always lost."

Ling Xi also brought up this matter, and when she did, she realized that she had forgotten when she had told Elysia about it, but she still remembered it from the first time she met Elysia!

"Well, but as I said, you don't exist in those failed parallel universes, do you?"

Elysia happily hugged Ling Xi and laughed, "After all, if someone as powerful as Ling Xi didn't exist, how could we possibly defeat the Honkai? But... our senior sister, Ling Xi, exists, so..."

At this point, Elysia clenched her fist slightly and said confidently, "Humanity will win, even if... at any cost!"

Ling Xi: "..." Because I am a transmigrator, there is definitely no way I could exist in other worlds!

But then again, if I hadn't traveled through time, I wouldn't have met Mebius Hill and Alicia. If only I could have met them in my own world back then...

However, if it were in my own world, I probably wouldn't have any connection with them, since I'm just an ordinary high school student.

"Elysia".

Thinking of this, Ling Xi couldn't help but ask, "Do you still remember the first time we met?"

"Of course I remember."

Elysia smiled slightly and said, "No matter how many things I forget, or how many times time and space restart, our first encounter is something I can never forget."

"And you..."

Ling Xi wanted to speak, but hesitated slightly. In the end, she asked, "Then why was Elysia interested in me in the first place? After all... I wasn't outstanding at the beginning."

"Don't talk nonsense. You were the one who was interested in me first, okay?"

Elysia immediately snorted, "I remember someone crying and shouting that they wanted to be Elysia's dog, but unfortunately I couldn't find a leash back then, otherwise I could have taken you out on a leash."

Ling Xi "..."

"Hehe, okay, okay, just kidding."

Seeing that Ling Xi's expression was a little off, Elysia quickly hugged Ling Xi and said in a coquettish tone, "After all, it's not good to make a girl take the initiative, especially since... I was prepared to make a sacrifice, but unfortunately, Ling Xi, you were afraid that I would have bad thoughts about you, so you firmly rejected him, which resulted in Mobius getting the first kill. What a pity..."

Ling Xi "..."

"Ahem, but you do have bad intentions towards me."

Ling Xi said quietly, "Let's not talk about the first night we got together, but do you know how much you endured from the second day onwards?"

"Puff..."

Elysia burst out laughing. "So, your kidneys aren't good, and that's my fault? Hmm, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were actually so bad back then..."

Ling Xi "..." bulges!

"Ahem, Elysia, you've gone off-topic!"

Ling Xi decisively changed the subject. Others might say that a hero doesn't dwell on past glories, but for her... that's a dark history.

"Yeah?"

Elysia chuckled, then stretched and laughed, "So my answer just now is the answer to your question. Besides, if you like someone but don't even dare to say it, what kind of liking is that? I just..."

"I was just telling you what was on my mind when I saw you, but you insisted that I was lying to you and that I had ulterior motives. Humph..."

"Hey... my dear Elysia, I was wrong back then, okay?"

Seeing this, Ling Xi could only quickly apologize. After all, because of Mobius's reminder, she had indeed been wary of Elysia, always feeling that Elysia was approaching her for some unspeakable secret, but...

They've been together for over a year now, and my understanding of Elysia has evolved from initial wariness to absolute trust, after all...

Elysia never lies to herself. Even if she teases herself occasionally, she quickly apologizes and uses her gentle charm to cheer herself up. In short...
