Pre-Collapse Civilization, My Wife is a Snake Oh

"Oh, is that really how it is?"

Mobius stared at Ling Xi with her blue eyes for a while, then finally smiled and said, "Alright, I'll take your word for it."

"Um, Doctor, there's one more thing..."

Ling Xi said quietly, "Could you... hide your true identity? After all, she's just an ordinary person. If she realizes who you are, it might cause unnecessary trouble."

"Mm, sure."

Mobius didn't object. She nodded. After all, her identity was too unique and often did cause unnecessary trouble. So, she was quite agreeable to Ling Xi's suggestion to hide her identity.

A moment later, Ling Xi and Mobius returned...

Seele's gaze remained as cold as ever...

"Ahem, Seele, let me introduce you, this is..."

Ling Xi was about to introduce Mobius to Seele.

"Hello, little sister, my name is Mobius."

Mobius was very friendly and directly extended her hand to Seele.

"Hello, I'm Seele."

Although Seele appeared proud, she wasn't impolite. Besides, this was Ling Xi's colleague. Although... she felt things might not be that simple.

Ling Xi: "..." Hey, Doctor, is it really okay to just tell her your name?

However, judging by Seele's reaction, she didn't seem to know the name Mobius either...

Well, that's normal. It was still the pre-Collapse era, and people paid little attention to the Honkai. Mobius was currently just a well-known scholar in academic circles, and ordinary people generally wouldn't pay attention to such matters.

"May I be so bold as to ask, what is your relationship with Ling Xi?"

After they had both sized each other up for a while, Seele was the first to speak. After all, Seele was younger and far less mature than Mobius.

"Well..."

Mobius glanced at Ling Xi with a smile and said, "Hmm... let's just say we're good colleagues. Ling Xi... he's sort of my assistant. He works part-time where I work."

"Oh..."

Seeing that Mobius didn't seem to be lying, Seele felt a little more at ease. At least Ling Xi shouldn't have lied to her... right?

"Then, little sister, what's your relationship with my Ling Xi?"

After Seele asked, Mobius asked the same question back!

"Mmm..."

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Seele's face. She wanted to say something, but seemed hesitant. Finally, she huffed, "Classmates, a... very ordinary classmate relationship!"

"Mm... I see..."

Mobius just smiled. With her ability to read people's minds, she could naturally tell that Seele was lying. Moreover... Ling Xi's friend from the beginning was probably this Seele.

In response, Seele silently observed Mobius. She felt... Mobius was very dangerous. Being looked at by Mobius, she felt as if she were... being targeted by a hunter.

"Um, you two."

At this moment, Ling Xi quickly stepped between them and said with a smile, "The concert is about to start, we should go in."

"Mm... sure."

Mobius had no objections. Although she felt that the relationship between this little girl and Ling Xi might not be that simple, she didn't care. After all... she's just a little girl, what threat could she pose?

Besides, it would be her and Ling Xi sitting together, with the other person sitting behind. It would be clear who was more important!

"Mm."

Seele nodded in agreement. After all, she really wanted to watch the concert. And... aren't they just ordinary colleagues? No problem!

Besides, she was sitting next to Ling Xi. Mobius, a mere colleague, could just sit in the back.

Following the crowd, the three of them entered the venue and successfully found their seats in the VIP section C. They sat according to their ticket numbers. Seele was on the left, Snake-Snake on the right, and Ling Xi...

"Huh?"

"Hm?"

When Seele and Mobius saw that they were sitting next to each other, a look of confusion appeared in their eyes. They then turned their heads in unison to look at Ling Xi behind them.

Ling Xi: "..."

"Ling Xi, why are you sitting over there?"

Mobius asked with a smile.

"Yes, Ling Xi, why are you sitting in the back?"

Seele also looked at Ling Xi with a smile.

Both of them looked at Ling Xi with smiles, but the meaning in their eyes was self-evident!

"Uh... cough cough!"

Ling Xi coughed lightly and said, "Well, I'm not used to sitting in the front row, and..."

Ling Xi took a deep breath and said with a calm smile, "You're all girls. If you sit in the front row, you can enjoy the music better, can't you?"

"Really... is that so?"

Mobius looked at Ling Xi with a smile, she felt... things weren't that simple!

Didn't they agree that they would sit together, and the remaining seat would be for his friend? Could it be... this guy meant himself when he mentioned that friend?

"Colleague..."

Seele also smiled at Ling Xi, "You guys are really close, hmph..."

After speaking, Seele decisively turned her head away, no longer paying attention to Ling Xi!

"Heh heh..."

Mobius also smiled, then turned her head away as well, no longer dwelling on the issue, although... she had already guessed the truth!

Ling Xi: "..."

Fortunately, no trouble for now!

Just as Ling Xi breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly received a text message from Mobius: [Don't rush off after the concert, come to the lab. I have an experiment that needs your research participation!]

Ling Xi: "..." Damn, this is clearly a trap. Participate in research... wouldn't that mean being researched?

Just as Ling Xi was contemplating how to get through Christmas Eve safely, he received another text message, this time from Seele: [You colleagues really have a good relationship. Remember to send your colleague home after the concert. You don't need to worry about me, I'll go home by myself, heh heh!]

Ling Xi: "..." I don't believe you. If I did that, I'm sure I'd be blocked on the spot, and... the kind that can't be recovered!

"Sigh..."

In the end, Ling Xi could only sigh silently, while silently praying in his heart that Eden's concert would end a little later...

Seele won't block you.jpg

Chapter 51: Kiana, Sakura, Arrive!

At 8 PM, the concert started on time!

A young woman in a formal dress, the protagonist of the night, Miss Eden, walked gracefully and slowly to the center of the stage with a smile. Without any opening remarks or speeches, she immediately began her specialty performance!

Suddenly, the venue fell silent. Although Ling Xi didn't understand music very well, Eden's singing could only be described as healing!

No wonder Eden could become a world-class singer. With that voice, Ling Xi truly felt the ticket price was worth it!

Seele also seemed very excited. Listening to music live was completely different from listening on TV or online. Although it was still good online, the impact was far less than being there in person.

As for Mobius, she had already closed her eyes, also appreciating the beautiful music. No... this shouldn't be described as just music, it was more like... art!

In Eden, Mobius seemed to see something similar to herself, which was... dedication and seriousness towards something!

"Mmm... perhaps, coming here occasionally is acceptable..."

A slight smile curved Mobius's lips. At least... she didn't feel like coming to listen to Eden's music was a waste of time anymore!

But at this moment, Ling Xi was still contemplating what to do after the concert. If he offended Seele, he wouldn't get the girl. If he offended the Doctor, he wouldn't even get himself back. Unless...

Suddenly, a purple vortex appeared in the sky. This was the precursor to a Honkai outbreak, and then Honkai Beasts appeared, throwing the venue into chaos. Mobius and Seele temporarily forgot about the text messages due to the Honkai, and thus, his crisis was resolved.

Unfortunately, reality wasn't "if only." The Honkai did not occur, and the concert continued until the end...

"Mmm, it was truly wonderful, Eden's singing."

After the concert, the three of them strolled through the streets. Mobius was still reminiscing about the concert.

"Yeah, before I came, I just thought Eden's singing was good, but after experiencing it live, I understood..."

Ling Xi deeply agreed with Mobius's words and couldn't help but laugh, "It can't be described as just good. It's more like... a voice that directly enters the human soul!"

"Mmm-hmm, I think so too."

Although Seele was a bit unhappy, even angry, about Ling Xi and Mobius earlier, under the influence of Eden's singing, she gradually calmed down. After all... after enjoying such beautiful music, it would be too much of a shame to still be angry!

Perhaps, this was the charm of music.

"Screech..."

Suddenly, a sharp braking sound startled everyone. A white car was speeding towards the intersection, and on the crosswalk at the intersection was a little girl with pink hair...

"Tesla, electromagnetic adhesion!"

Almost instantly, Ling Xi activated his Stigmata power and rushed out, appearing on the crosswalk in a flash. He scooped up the little girl and, with an extremely narrow margin, avoided the car. With a final roll, he landed successfully...

"Phew..."

After doing all this, Ling Xi breathed a sigh of relief. Although it all happened in an instant, less than 1.5 seconds, it consumed a huge amount of Ling Xi's energy!

In that instant, Ling Xi activated Tesla's lightning enchantment power and used the attraction of electromagnetic force to forcibly pull himself forward, achieving a speed of twenty meters per half-second.

Of course, this move was very draining, as among the four fundamental forces, electromagnetism was the second weakest!

"Phew... Little sister, don't you know that running a red light is wrong?"

Ling Xi panted and looked at the little girl speechlessly. Honestly, in that situation, although the driver was partly responsible for not slowing down at the crosswalk, if the little girl hadn't run the red light, this wouldn't have happened.

"I... I'm sorry, I... I was looking for my sister."

The little girl was clearly still shaken.

"Rin!"

Just then, a pink-haired girl ran out from the nearby cold drink shop. She immediately hugged the little girl and said, with a mix of shock and joy, "You silly girl, didn't I tell you to wait for me right here? Why did you run over?"

"I'm sorry, Sister, I..."

Rin also looked down, admitting her mistake as if she truly realized it.

"Rin..."

Ling Xi seemed to have heard a familiar name and quickly looked at the little girl before him. She looked... about ten years old, but...

Ling Xi then looked at the girl. This was...

Yae Sakura?

At this moment, the girl stood up, gently patted Rin's head, and then they both bowed towards Ling Xi. She said sincerely, "Thank you for saving Rin. Really, thank you so much!"

"It's nothing, just a small effort!"

Ling Xi quickly assured her it was no trouble, while also curiously observing the girl. That's right, her appearance was exactly like Yae Sakura. Of course, since this was the Pre-Collapse Civilization, she definitely wasn't Yae Sakura, but rather...

The prototype for the Frostmoon Empress battlesuit, Kiana, one of the Thirteen Flame-Chasing Moths of the Pre-Collapse Civilization, Sakura!

"No, you don't understand how important Rin is to me."

The girl shook her head and then looked at Ling Xi gratefully. "My name is Sakura. This is my sister, Rin. Rin, aren't you going to thank him!"

"Thank you, brother..."

Rin obediently thanked Ling Xi right away.

"It's okay, it's okay, I already said it's nothing."

Ling Xi just smiled in response, but inwardly he was already astonished. As expected, the pink-haired girl before him was indeed Sakura, the Fused Warrior from the Pre-Collapse Civilization, and her sister
