Fire Moth Team-Building and a Drunk Eden! / Ling Xi, You Don't Want Eden to Disappear in the Previous Era, Do You?

Suddenly, Sakura spoke again softly, "In the future... could you come back to my hometown with me to see the cherry blossoms?"

"Yes, that's fine."

Ling Xi smiled and nodded gently, saying, "However, your hometown no longer exists in our time. But I promise you, in the future, I will accompany you to see the cherry blossoms in your hometown. It will definitely be very beautiful there!"

"Heh, then it's a deal, we'll... go to the future together!"

Sakura smiled too. The future... For some reason, she suddenly seemed to have hope for the future.

"Don't worry, when have I ever lied to you?"

Ling Xi snorted confidently, "Besides, just thinking about how such a beautiful cherry blossom is waiting for me in the future makes me want to go no matter what!"

"Eh... Heh, okay."

Sakura's face flushed slightly, but it wasn't actually shyness; she was simply overjoyed. After all... in this era, all that matters is feeling, and therefore... who doesn't yearn for the future?

"Ling Xi ..."

Sakura looked at Ling Xi expectantly, and slowly leaned closer to him.

"Cherry..."

Ling Xi decisively hugged Ying. Although it was unlikely that they would do anything reckless in broad daylight as Ling had said before, it wouldn't hurt to hug her for a while to strengthen their bond.

"Bang..."

"Sakura, are you here?"

Suddenly, the door was flung open, and a fairy-like girl darted in, the first thing she saw being Ling Xi and Ying, who were about to get all lovey-dovey...

"Eh..."

Elysia touched her nose and chuckled deliberately, "Did I come at the wrong time?"

Ling Xi "..."

"Yes, so, may I ask you to leave, Miss Elysia ..."

Ling Xi looked at Elysia with annoyance, though the remark about telling her to leave was just a joke.

"Tch, what a fickle scumbag, I'm not going out..."

Elysia gave a soft hum and then went inside, making sure to close the door behind her.

Chapter 450: Team Building Amidst the Flames, A Drunken Eden!

"Ling Xi ..."

Once inside, Elysia threw herself at Ling Xi and laughed, "Haven't seen you for half a day, did you miss me?"

"Of course, I miss you even if it's just five minutes, let alone half a day, Elysia..."

Ling Xi hugged Elysia back and laughed, "But you couldn't have come to see me just because you missed me, could you? Is there something you need?"

"Tch, can't I come because I missed you?"

Elysia gave a soft hum, then smiled and said, "Okay, there is indeed a little thing, but even without it, I would still come to play with you."

"Oh, but I think I just heard you call out Sakura."

Ling Xi looked at Elysia with suspicion. When this girl came in, she clearly called her Sakura, but she changed her name after seeing Ling Xi!

"Eh... hehe, since I came to Sakura's room, of course I have to find Sakura first."

Elysia chuckled, successfully smoothing things over, and then said, "By the way, Ling Xi, Ying, how about we have dinner together tonight?"

"A get-together?"

Ling Xi paused for a moment, then asked, "Just the two of us?"

"Hehe, of course not."

Elysia smiled, then counted on her fingers one by one, saying, "Actually, I was planning to call Fused Warrior from our Flame-Chasing Moths, as well as Mei and the others. But, as you've probably noticed, the whole base is deathly still right now, and if it continues like this..."

Elysia crossed her arms and smiled helplessly, "Let alone facing the Herrscher of Finality, humanity itself would break down first. So, I think it's necessary to organize a dinner party, at least... to let everyone relax a little."

Hearing Elysia's answer, Ling Xi also started to think. It seems that... in the story, Elysia did organize various gatherings and events, which should be one of the reasons why the Thirteen Flame-Chasers did not completely collapse later on!

However, later on, because Elysia had to go out, Kevin organized several of the gatherings, and then...

Then came the famous scene of a dozen or so Fused Warrior sitting up and eating noodles together...

"What's wrong? Ling Xi, do you think... it won't work?"

Seeing that Ling Xi seemed to be thinking, Elysia cautiously asked a question. Although she didn't think Ling Xi would object, if Ling Xi really did object, then the matter would have to be dropped.

"Uh, no!"

Ling Xi snapped out of her daze, shook her head, and smiled, "I think gatherings like this are great, but... I'd like to ask, will there be noodles for tonight's gathering?"

"Huh? Noodles?"

Elysia was taken aback for a moment, but still answered seriously, "Although we didn't prepare noodles for tonight, we have plenty of them in stock. If you want some, I'll make them for you myself."

"No, no, no, I was just asking."

Ling Xi quickly refused, laughing, "I was just thinking that Kevin seems to really like noodles, so I was worried that if there weren't any noodles tonight, you wouldn't be able to get him to come, that's why I asked if there were any noodles."

To be honest, Ling Xi was still a little disappointed if she couldn't see the iconic scene!

After all, if Ancestor Kevin can't eat noodles, it's like the West has lost Jerusalem, and the 3D zone has lost... cough cough!

So, Ling Xi ultimately decided that while a dinner party was optional, noodles were a must!

"Oh... heh, okay, I get it."

Elysia nodded and smiled, "Don't worry, I'll personally... personally instruct the kitchen to add a noodle dish tonight!"

Ling Xi: "..." Actually, I really want to try the noodles that Elysia made herself...

"Then, you two continue your conversation, I'll go find the others first."

After saying that, Elysia waved her hand and then turned and left.

"Hmm, Elysia... she's still always optimistic."

Seeing Elysia's energetic demeanor, Sakura couldn't help but feel a little emotional. To be honest, she didn't think she could be as optimistic as Elysia, even in a situation like this.

"After all, she is Elysia."

Ling Xi smiled. It seemed that since she met Elysia, she had never seen her look down. She always seemed to be full of energy. Although... she didn't know why this girl was like this.

However, Ling Xi had to admit that Elysia's perpetually cheerful personality was truly endearing. Even if she wanted to get angry, she couldn't, and...

Flame-Chasing Moths aside the entire Flame-Chasing Moths, just within its headquarters, probably no one has better interpersonal relationships Elysia. Even Brother Jie, who almost always yells at everyone, is noticeably nicer to Elysia than to others.

In times of despair, perhaps we need someone like Elysia who can unite everyone; at least in my opinion, she is very useful!

However, after the Herrscher of Restraint, humanity is in an even worse state than in the original scenario. In the original scenario, there were at least three cities, but now...

Shenzhou is completely dead, and the Americas are completely cut off from communication. The only thing that can be counted now is the headquarters of the Flame-Chasing Moths in Europe!

But this is a good thing, because if only the headquarters remains, then Elysia, Sakura, and the others won't have to go out every day to carry out missions to eliminate Honkai Beast anymore. After all, there's nothing left to reclaim outside, and humanity now...

All I can say is that they're hiding in the base, waiting for the final apocalypse...

But this is good too, so I can be with them every day and I don't have to worry about them encountering any accidents outside!

That night, Elysia invited all the remaining Fused Warrior, as well as Mei and the core members of the Mobius Laboratory, but there were only about twenty people in total!

Sakura naturally stayed by Rin's side the whole time. After all, among the current Flame-Chasing Moths, besides Ling Xi and others who could be absolutely trusted, there were also some other people who knew that Rin was very troublesome. So even when facing her own people, Sakura would not be careless!

As for the dinner party... although the atmosphere was indeed a bit dull at first, everyone gradually relaxed under Elysia's guidance, and Ancestor Kevin even performed his signature move of eating a bowl of noodles in three bites!

Unfortunately, dinner hadn't even started for long when Miss Eden got drunk again!

If it were just Eden getting drunk, that would be fine. But after Eden got drunk, he froze and grabbed Mobius to drink with him, and in the end...

If Klein hadn't stopped him, Mobius would have almost performed Snake Shedding.

In short, everyone seemed to relax tonight, and the pressure that had accumulated over the past few days was swept away. After all, under the shadow of the apocalypse, it was truly a rare opportunity for people to relax...

After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms to rest, but...

"Ling Xi, I'm counting on you for Eden. Her room is in Zone D..."

Elysia, carrying the drunken Mobius on her back, handed Eden to Ling Xi with a smile, then turned and ran away...

Ling Xi "..."

Chapter 451: Ling Xi, you don't want Eden to disappear in the Previous Era, do you?

After the evening ended, Kevin helped Mei, Pardo carried Griseo, Elysia carried Mobius. Almost everyone had someone help them get home, except for...

"Hoo... This should be it."

It took Ling Xi about ten minutes to finally help Miss Eden to her room. It was really too difficult...

"Eden, we're home."

Ling Xi used Eden's fingerprint to open the door, then helped her into the room, and finally placed her on the bed...

"Hmm, really?"

Hearing Ling Xi's voice, Eden groggily opened his eyes and smiled, "Thank you, Ling Xi, for bringing me home so late..."

"Hehe, don't be so polite. You're Elysia's good friend, so I'll naturally do what she asked me to do."

Ling Xi didn't think much of it and asked, "Do you want to wash your face? How about I get you some hot water?"

Ling Xi originally planned to leave after dropping Eden off at home, but...

Judging from Eden's drunken state, she'll probably fall asleep as soon as I leave, and as for washing up...

Do you think Eden could achieve what he has now by himself?

Back then, Eden had dedicated caretakers, but as time went by, those who cared for Eden also left in the recent Honkai. And in this era, who would do such a thing?

After all, today's currency is practically worthless, less than waste paper...

"Um, thank you..."

Eden simply sat on the edge of the bed, nodding with his eyes slightly narrowed.

Seeing this, Ling Xi didn't say much. She went straight to the bathroom, fetched hot water, put out a towel, and delivered it to Eden. It was fortunate that the headquarters still had a 24-hour hot water supply, otherwise she would have had to heat it up herself!

"Mmm..."

A moment later, Eden finished washing his face, feeling much more refreshed. He looked up at Ling Xi and smiled, "Thank you, Ling Xi..."

"You are welcome."

Ling Xi shook her head slightly and smiled, "Well then, Eden, you should get some rest too. I should head back now!"

As she spoke, Ling Xi was about to get up and leave...

"Wait a moment..."

However, Eden stopped Ling Xi directly and smiled slightly, "Ling Xi, how long do you think... humanity can hold on?"

"Um?"

Ling Xi truly hadn't expected Eden to suddenly ask such a question, but...

Ling Xi did recall some things. Back when she was playing the Elysian Realm in the Past, she was drawn in by Eden's gentleness, so she glanced at Eden storyline. And it seemed that at the very end of Eden's story, she...

It seems they chose to stay here along with this civilization; in other words...

Eden did not enter the Hibernation Pod in the end, but chose to be buried with the Previous Era!

"Eden ..."

Thinking of Eden's ending in the original work, Ling Xi also felt a little regretful, so she finally said, "Our civilization has only been temporarily suspended, not truly disappeared. As long as people are alive, there is still hope for civilization."

"Oh? Why... why are you suddenly saying that?"

Eden looked at Ling Xi with some curiosity, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, because what Ling Xi had just said... it felt like he thought Eden wanted to die?

"Because I know you love this era."

Ling Xi shook her head and smiled slightly, "And for someone like you who deeply loves this era, I think there's nothing more painful than watching it perish, isn't there?"
