Treat It as a Dream... / Wedding Dress...

"Hehe... hehe, I never thought that in the end, you would be the one who understands me the most."

Hearing Ling Xi's answer, Eden couldn't help but laugh and said, "Yes, this great era, this era that brought countless miracles and treasures to people, has come to an end so simply. Isn't that... a tragedy in itself?"

"Eden, as I said, our civilization has not ended, it has only been... temporarily suspended."

Ling Xi spoke again. When she watched the story back then, she felt sorry for Eden. But now... Eden was right in front of her. How could Ling Xi bear to let her really disappear along with the Previous Era?

Now, the fates of those around him, whether it's Seele, Sakura, or Klein, have all changed. Now...

There's no reason why I can't change Eden's fate!

"Civilization, shall it cease...?"

Eden silently picked up his glass, gently swirling it as he chuckled softly, "But, after civilization is abruptly halted, is it still our civilization...?"

"Of course!"

Ling Xi said firmly, "In the future, perhaps ten thousand or fifty thousand years from now, the Honkai will completely disappear, and our civilization will awaken once more, just as humanity emerged from Africa. We will begin to establish nations and create a new civilization, although it may not be the same civilization we have now, but..."

Ling Xi smiled slightly and said, "In any case, the future civilization of mankind will still be a continuation of our civilization, and a child of our civilization. Doesn't it... deserve our protection?"

"Guard..."

Upon hearing this word, Eden murmured to himself, then looked up slightly at Ling Xi and smiled, "Ling Xi, could you... come a little closer? I have something to say..."

As Eden spoke, his voice grew softer and softer...

"What's wrong?"

Ling Xi didn't think much of it and bent down to approach Eden...

"Hehe..."

Then, Eden hugged Ling Xi tightly, then lay back, eventually Eden up on the bed, while Ling Xi pressed herself against Eden...

"Huh? Eden?"

Ling Xi was immediately stunned. Good heavens, what is this celebrity trying to do?

"Mmm... Ling Xi..."

At this moment, Eden seemed to have returned to his drunken state, his arms wrapped around Ling Xi's back, his lips close to her ear, murmuring, "I feel... I need your protection right now..."

"Hey... Eden, you're drunk..."

Being held by Eden like that, Ling Xi naturally had some thoughts, but...

I wouldn't stoop to taking advantage of someone in their vulnerable state, besides...

Tonight, Elysia asked me to bring Eden back. If I were to take advantage of this opportunity to do something to Elysia's friend Eden, would I be betraying Elysia's trust?

So...

"Ling Xi ..."

Suddenly, Eden moved again and kissed Ling Xi directly...

Ling Xi: "???"

Eden's sudden and unannounced attack completely stunned Ling Xi, but...

No, I must stay rational. What time is it? Is it the end of the world? How can I still be thinking about such things?

Just as Ling Xi was about to resist, Eden's languid voice came to her ear, "Ling Xi, if you want me to protect the future, then at the very least... someone has to protect me, right? You don't want... me to disappear along with this era, do you?"

"Eden ..."

Hearing this, Ling Xi was speechless and asked, "If I agree, would you be willing to go to the future with me?"

"Hehe..."

Eden smiled again and nodded. "Yes, I... I've always been more than willing, and... I envy Elysia..."

Chapter 452: Let's treat it as a dream...

"..."

The next day, when Ling Xi woke up, she found Eden lying beside her bed. Seeing that Eden was completely naked, Ling Xi clearly knew what had happened...

It seems it wasn't a dream after all...

"Good morning, Ling Xi..."

At this moment, Eden seemed to have woken up as well, and lay down next to Ling Xi with a gentle smile on his face, silently watching Ling Xi.

"Eden ..."

Seeing that Eden had also woken up, Ling Xi seemed to want to say something...

"Shh..."

However, Eden did reach out and place his index finger on Ling Xi's lips, whispering with a smile, "Ling Xi, last night... let's just consider it a dream, a dream... one I'll never forget!"

Ling Xi "..."

"I'm sorry, I..."

Ling Xi was somewhat at a loss for words, and...

Although Eden did indeed stir up trouble last night, but...

"Hehe, you don't need to apologize."

Eden gently shook his head, lightly stroking Ling Xi's cheek, and smiled slightly, "After all... this is just a dream!"

"That..."

Ling Xi hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Then... would you be willing to go to the future with me?"

"Oh, of course I'd love to."

Eden smiled and said, "After all, I intended to go to the future with you from the very beginning."

"Huh? At the beginning?"

Ling Xi immediately looked puzzled.

"Yes."

Eden smiled and nodded, saying, "After all, Elysia, Mobius, Aponia, and everyone else are planning to go to the future together, so why should I refuse?"

"Then why did you..."

Hearing Eden's answer, Ling Xi became even more frustrated. If this girl had planned to go to the future from the beginning, then what did she mean by what she said last night?

"Last night..."

Eden pretended to think for a moment, then laughed and said, "I don't think I... said anything at all. You've been the one doing all the talking, saying that the Previous Era hadn't ended, it was just temporarily suspended. I never said I wanted to stay in the Previous Era to wait for death."

Ling Xi "..."

In an instant, Ling Xi was completely speechless. Upon reflection... indeed, she had only deduced from the original game's storyline that Eden would remain in the Previous Era. In the real world, however, Eden had already been altered by the butterfly effect she had created, so...

Damn, so so I got ripped off last night?

Damn it, I thought I was risking my life to accompany a gentleman, but in the end...

The clown is actually myself?

"Then... why did you do it in the end?"

However, considering that she had also made a huge profit, Ling Xi was too embarrassed to complain to Eden. After all, Eden was such a beautiful person, and a world-class star, and she was willing to be with him. No matter how you looked at it, she had come out on top!

However, Ling Xi really didn't understand why Eden would make such a choice.

After all, if Eden doesn't intend to stay and disappear with the Previous Era, it means her heart hasn't died, so... her behavior last night was clearly not a self-destructive act!

"Well..."

Eden deliberately thought for a moment, then chuckled softly, "I told you, I... am a little envious of Elysia. Besides, what happened last night was just a dream after drinking. If you don't want to, then you can really treat it as a dream, after all..."

Finally, Eden chuckled softly, "People... make mistakes sometimes, don't they? I believe Elysia will forgive us."

Ling Xi: "..." Why does it feel like all the Flame-Chasing Moths from the strongest Previous Era are rushing to give themselves away for free...?

First there was Aponia, that eccentric guy, and now there's Yi Yi who's always drunk. So... who else is there?

Is the next one a cat or a dog...? Bang! Door open! Flame-Chasing Moths!

Speaking of Elysia...

Ling Xi suddenly felt a headache coming on, because... last night, Elysia had asked her to send Eden back, and while she did manage to bring him back, she even gave Eden several hundred million in the end, and last night...

If nothing unexpected happens, Elysia should be waiting for him in his room, but since he didn't go back, Elysia will probably go check on his other wives one by one, and if she still doesn't find him, then...

Ling Xi felt that with Elysia's intelligence and ability to fill in the gaps, it was impossible for her not to guess the truth.

Ling Xi "..."

"Ling Xi ..."

At that moment, Eden waved his hand in front of Ling Xi's eyes and said with a smile, "It's a rare morning, how about we do it again?"

"Cough cough!"

Ling Xi coughed lightly and said righteously, "Miss Eden, do you think I'm that kind of person?"

"Uh... I'm sorry."

Seeing that Ling Xi had refused him, Eden shook his head with a wry smile and lay down again. "I'm sorry, Ling Xi, I want to rest for a while. If you... want to leave, please do so!"

"Cough cough!"

Ling Xi coughed again, then flipped over and successfully locked Eden in her arms, saying in a serious tone, "Eden, do you think I'm that kind of person? Hmm... you're right, you've got a good eye for people!"

Eden "..."

"Eh... you, uh..."

Eden was about to complain when Ling Xi kissed him, and then...

Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links, Activate!

In the end, Eden made several hundred million more early in the morning!

It has to be said that being a celebrity is really lucrative; they can easily make hundreds of millions.

After replenishing Eden's mana, it was already 10 a. m. Ling Xi quietly planned to sneak home, and wondered if she should first find an excuse to fool Elysia, and then confess if she couldn't fool her in the end.

Although Ling Xi felt that it was probably useless to fool Elysia, after all, that girl's IQ was extremely high, and when girls catch cheaters in the act, their IQ would only be even higher!

However, simply sitting and waiting to die without even putting up a fight is not my style, so...

Ling Xi carefully opened her room door. Hmm... it's safe!

So Ling Xi went straight into her room and closed the door...

"Hi, Ling Xi, did you miss me?"

However, as soon as Ling Xi entered the house, a familiar voice came from behind her...

It was a sound I usually loved, but now it sounded like the whisper of a demon...

"Um... Elysia, what are you doing in my room?"

Ling Xi turned around and looked at Elysia with a smile, while her brain raced as she thought of a solution.

"Hehe, because I was here last night."

Elysia slowly appeared behind Ling Xi, then pounced on Ling Xi, sniffing her deeply before smiling slightly, "After all, Sakura had to stay with Rin last night, and Seele had a little to drink, and Klein had to take care of the drunk Mobius, so... I was worried you'd have trouble sleeping, so I came to keep you company, but..."

Elysia smiled slightly and said, "Mmm, the scent of Eden, Ling Xi, that's Eden, you know... You've hit the jackpot!"

Ling Xi was speechless. Well, she hadn't even said anything yet, and Elysia had already guessed everything. What was the point of playing now?

Chapter 453: Wedding Dress...

"Um, well, Elysia, I..."

Although Elysia already knew, Ling Xi still wanted to explain a little. After all, whether Alicia listened or not was Elysia business, but whether she explained or not was a matter of attitude.

"Shh..."
