However, Elysia seemed completely uninterested in Ling Xi's explanation, directly pressing her finger to Ling Xi's lips and laughing, "No need to explain, I understand, and... if it's Eden, I wouldn't actually object, after all..."

Elysia chuckled mischievously, "Why do you think I sent you to deliver Eden last night?"

Ling Xi "..."

Hearing this, Ling Xi stared at Elysia in disbelief. Good heavens, was this part of your plan?

Of course, this is nobody's fault but theirs; after all, it's ultimately due to their own lack of willpower, although the bigger reason is that Eden is just too wonderful...

If Aponia helped me find the feeling of being a mother, then Eden helped me find the feeling of being a sister!

"Then this matter..."

Ling Xi hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Should we tell the Doctor?"

"Well... let's forget about it then."

Elysia shook her head and laughed, "Mobius is busy enough right now, so let's not bother her. It's enough that we know about this. Besides..."

Elysia looked at Ling Xi silently and chuckled softly, "You know Eden's identity. Although his influence is not as great as it used to be, if your relationship with Eden is exposed, it might cause you some trouble. After all, Eden is the most popular star."

"I'm not afraid of that."

Ling Xi snorted softly, "So what if Eden is a popular star? My Elysia is the most popular Fused Warrior, but everyone knows about our relationship, so no one dares to say anything to me, right?"

"Hehe, that's different."

Elysia smiled and shook her head, saying, "Between us, we got together first and then became famous, so there's a sense of order. Everyone knew from the beginning that I was yours, so they didn't have such high expectations. But Eden..."

"You may not believe it, but for many, Eden is their current faith and pillar of support, an absolutely perfect saint, so..."

Elysia shrugged and laughed, "If Eden's image collapses, or if people suddenly discover that Eden has become a married woman, in this apocalyptic atmosphere, do you think they might do something extreme or dangerous?"

"This..."

Well, faced with Elysia's question, Ling Xi was speechless and could only mutter, "Humans have reached this point, and they still act like this..."

"It's not their fault."

Elysia shook her head and smiled, "You're a time traveler, so you might not know how important Eden is to our generation. Many of us grew up listening to Eden's songs, and in this apocalyptic gloom, perhaps... Eden's songs are the only cure."

Hearing this, Ling Xi didn't say anything more. Indeed...

It's the apocalypse, everyone knows how much pressure people are under. Let alone ordinary people, even Fused Warrior would probably still be in a deathly atmosphere if it weren't for the dinner organized by Elysia last night...

"But you don't need to worry."

Elysia laughed directly, "After all, Eden's residence isn't far from here, and the area where Eden lives is an important area. Normally, besides us Fused Warrior, only May and Klein have the authority to visit Eden's residence, so..."

Elysia gently hugged Ling Xi and whispered in Ling Xi ear with a smile, "As long as you keep a low profile, you can go see Eden regularly. As for Eden... I think she'll probably say the same thing to you, since she understands the impact of her identity better than I do."

Ling Xi "..."

"What's with that expression? Don't you believe me?"

Elysia chuckled and said, "If you don't believe me, how about we make a bet?"

No, I believe it.

Ling Xi nodded decisively to show her belief, and smiled, "I believe what Elysia says."

"Tch, don't think I'll be happy just because you're like this."

Elysia gave a soft hum, then took Ling Xi's hand and said with a smile, "Alright, alright, let's leave it at that. But you'd better be careful about things with Eden. If you're exposed, I won't cover for you."

"Tch, if you hadn't done it on purpose last night, this wouldn't have happened."

Ling Xi glanced at Elysia speechlessly. It wasn't that she thought Elysia was wrong, but she didn't think she was right either. That's why she felt helpless.

"Hehe, alright, alright, stop looking like you've been taken advantage of."

Elysia laughed, "With Eden's status, he's more than a match for you, no matter which of your identities you have."

"Um... okay, I won't deny it, and besides..."

Ling Xi smiled at Elysia and said, "It's such a pity that Eden's song has disappeared like this. So, I still hope that she can go to the future with us. After all... even in the new era, Eden's song will never be outdated."

"I think so too."

Elysia nodded firmly and smiled, "I really want to see the future with my own eyes."

"Don't worry, it will definitely work."

Ling Xi gently hugged Elysia and smiled, "I told you, no matter what happens, I will always protect you, my Elysia."

"Hmm..."

Elysia glanced at Ling Xi with a hint of curiosity, then smiled, nodded, and said, "Yeah, I... I'll wait."

"By the way, Ling Xi."

Suddenly, Elysia seemed to remember something and said, "Do you remember what we agreed on, that we'd hold the wedding after we finished with our work?"

"Wedding?"

Ling Xi paused for a moment, then said somewhat speechlessly, "I do remember, but didn't you say you'd handle everything? So I didn't ask. Besides... Elysia, although holding a wedding isn't very realistic given our current circumstances, but..."

Ling Xi looked at Elysia and said earnestly, "I promise, when the future comes, I will definitely give you the grandest wedding in the world, okay?"

"Heh, it's alright, it's alright. After all, I didn't expect the Honkai to come so quickly."

Elysia shook her head to indicate that it was alright. It wasn't that she said it on purpose, but rather that she had really miscalculated. After all, the Honkai of this cycle came really fast!

In less than three short years, the Finality fast approaching!

But after saying that, Elysia chuckled softly, "However, Ling Xi, I have prepared a wedding dress. Would you... like to see it?"

Chapter 454: Ling Xi emerges from Eden's room...

"Ha?"

Upon hearing Elysia's words, Ling Xi was taken aback and asked in surprise, "Wedding dress? When did you prepare that?"

"Hmph..."

Elysia merely curled the corners of her lips into a smug smile and scoffed, "That's none of your business. I'm just asking if you're going to watch or not?"

"Yes, of course we have to see it!"

Ling Xi agreed without hesitation. Although she didn't know when she had been prepared, since she was ready, she naturally had to go and see.

"I won't show it to you."

As a result, Elysia refused outright, laughing and saying, "Unless you kneel down and beg me."

Ling Xi "..."

"Hehe, okay, okay, here you go."

Seeing Ling Xi's somewhat speechless expression, Elysia smiled and took Ling Xi's arm, saying, "Let's go, let's go see our wedding dress."

"I thought you would choose pink?"

Upon arriving at Elysia's room, Ling Xi saw the wedding dress she had prepared—a pure white and pristine gown.

"I did have that idea, but I think too much pink would easily lead to color clashes."

Elysia smiled slightly and said, "So, I still chose the mainstream white wedding dress. After all, it's a common color. What do you think? Do you like it?"

"Hmm, not bad."

Ling Xi nodded gently and smiled, "But compared to a wedding dress, I think this is more like a formal dress."

"Hehe, that's right!"

Elysia nodded and smiled, "Because I don't particularly like the traditional style of wedding dress, I specifically chose this style of gown. I can wear it to the ball, and I can also wear it to my wedding."

"Yes, it suits you very well."

Ling Xi nodded slightly. The formal wedding dress style was indeed more suitable for Elysia's personality. Of course, most importantly, Elysia looked good in anything, which was truly a gift from God!

"I'll wear it for you when I have the chance, but not today, after all..."

Elysia spread her hands and laughed, "This kind of dress is quite troublesome to maintain."

"It's okay, there will definitely be a chance anyway."

Ling Xi was slightly disappointed, but she didn't say much. After all... the wedding dress was right there, and there would be an opportunity sooner or later.

Since Elysia organized the dinner party, the atmosphere inside the Flame-Chasing Moths seems to have become much more relaxed. In addition, Eden occasionally hums a song on the public address system, so the overall atmosphere in the Flame-Chasing Moths is quite good!

Although the shadow of the apocalypse has not yet dissipated, people are choosing to live in the present more often!

As for Ling Xi...

Even after that night, Ling Xi didn't turn her sword against Eden; she would still occasionally come to chat with Miss Eden about life!

Even occasionally, Elysia would come along, and Eden initially refused to play games together... well, Eden never even considered refusing, after all, even if Eden was Fused Warrior, she couldn't withstand Ling Xi's Sasha Gene.

As for Aponia...

Since Herrscher of Restraint, Aponia no longer actively seeks out Ling Xi unless there's something truly important to discuss. After all, she doesn't really need to continue enhancing her Honkai Energy anymore. However, Ling Xi still occasionally goes to chat with her, asking about the fates of others and casually treating her to milk tea...

It's a pity that Aponia and Eden can't be together, otherwise...

You'll definitely be able to unlock more DLC!

As for the others, Sakura spent all her time with Rin, so she had far fewer interactions with Ling Xi. Mobius and Klein were busy with their research, so Ling Xi didn't bother them anymore; after all...

Nothing is more important than the continuation of human civilization now...

Seele maintained her original rhythm, but unfortunately, after that incident, no matter how much she tried to get Seele pregnant, there was no sign of pregnancy!

Of course, at this time, Ling Xi could not allow Seele to make any noise, otherwise... wouldn't she be carrying the baby for 50,000 years?

So lately, when Ling Xi talks about life with his wives, he's started taking precautions. After all... if he really gets pregnant, it'll be a huge hassle, at least...

We'll have to wait until the future!

"Mobius, what do you think should be done about the Twelfth Herrscher?"

In the laboratory, May and Mobius were studying information related to the Imaginary Tree, and May also casually asked about the Twelfth Herrscher.

"Didn't I already say that the powers of the Twelfth Herrscher only appear after death? So as long as we ensure Rin's safety, the Twelfth Herrscher will not pose a threat to humanity!"

Mobius calmly replied, adding, "Furthermore, because we know what the powers of the Twelfth Herrscher are, I have already prepared underground bunker bases. Even if the birth of the Twelfth Herrscher is inevitable, we can still retain most of our core strength."

"Mmm..."

Mei paused for a moment before saying, "While it would be best if the Twelfth Herrscher simply passed away, they are, after all, administrators with their own consciousness. And when bugs appear in the world, wouldn't an administrator just leave it unattended?"

"This..."

Mei's words immediately silenced Mobius, because to be honest, she wasn't sure whether Rin could safely survive the Twelfth Herrscher, otherwise she wouldn't have prepared an underground base in advance.

Moreover, the most troublesome thing about the Twelfth Herrscher is... once she appears, it means that Rin is already dead, in other words...

Rin is different from other Herrscher, even with a small chance of reverting after becoming Herrschers, still have the opportunity to do so, Rin is the kind of person who, once she becomes Herrscher, can only ever be Herrscher. After all...

When the Twelfth Herrscher were born, Rin had already died!

Therefore, unless Rin can be resurrected, once she becomes Twelfth Herrscher, there is only one option: to destroy or seal her away, after all...

She can never turn back!

"Sakura always stayed by Rin's side, and Ling Xi lived next door to them. At night, Ling Xi would also rest in his own room!"

Although Mobius was somewhat uneasy about Sakura, after all, Rin was still her sister, so... Mobius worried that even if Rin showed signs of abnormality, Sakura might choose to hide it, however...

With Ling Xi around, there shouldn't be any problem. After all, Ying seems to trust Ling Xi more than anyone else. I really don't know why she trusts Ling Xi so much, but...

This can be considered a good thing.

"Ling Xi?"

Upon hearing the name Ling Xi, Mei seemed to hesitate for a moment, then a strange expression appeared on her face.

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

Seeing this, Mobius asked curiously!
