Pre-Collapse Civilization, My Wife is a Snake Oh

"Wait a moment!"

Seele quickly stood up and followed him to the door.

"Hm? Is there something else?"

Seeing this, Ling Xi naturally stopped and turned back to look at Seele curiously...

"Um... that, thank you..."

At this moment, Seele didn't want to maintain her proud attitude towards Ling Xi anymore. After all... she could feel that Ling Xi genuinely cared about her.

"Heh, what's with the thank you between us?"

Ling Xi reached out and patted Seele's head, smiling, "Alright, Seele, you should get some rest. You have class this afternoon..."

Seele: "..." Wait, does this guy really have nothing he wants to say to me?

"Ling Xi... that..."

Seele looked at Ling Xi with a smile, "Can you bend down? I want to pat your head too."

"Uh..."

Ling Xi instinctively dodged backward because he felt like Seele was going to give him a Judas... Wait, did he just expose something?

But fortunately, Seele didn't use Judas, so...

"Okay, Seele."

Ling Xi lowered his head with relief, and then...

"Mmm..."

Seele directly hugged Ling Xi's head, then stood on tiptoe and gently bit his ear...

Ling Xi: "???"

"Seele..."

Ling Xi was completely bewildered. What the heck was that?

"Hmph, idiot!"

Seele, with a flushed face, hit Ling Xi hard on the head!

"Ah..."

"Bang!"

Accompanied by Ling Xi's scream, the dormitory door slammed shut with a "bang"...

Ling Xi: "..."

What in the world was going on?

"Seele!"

Ling Xi quickly knocked on the door, intending to talk to Seele a bit longer, at least... he wanted to understand Seele's intentions, otherwise...

However, Seele had no intention of speaking or replying.

Ling Xi: "..."

It was almost ten minutes, and knocking on the door here would definitely attract the attention of the surrounding dormitories, which would be even more troublesome.

"Seele, I'm leaving then. I'll contact you by phone!"

There was no other way. Seeing that time was almost up, Ling Xi had to temporarily give up the idea of finding Seele and contact her by phone.

"Hoo..."

Hearing Ling Xi's departing footsteps, Seele breathed a sigh of relief. She leaned against the door and sat by the entrance, covering her burning hot cheeks with her hands. What... what was she doing just now?

She had originally wanted to nuzzle him gently, but... in the end, she decided to bite him. That way... he probably wouldn't notice, right?

Yeah... he definitely wouldn't!

"Hoo..."

Seele took a deep breath. This time...

When Ling Xi returns, that guy should understand what she wants to say, after all...

She couldn't wait any longer. She had to get Ling Xi away from that dangerous Mobius as soon as possible. Yes... Mobius, who was dangerous in every sense of the word!

However, she didn't need to worry about anything. After all, compared to Mobius, Ling Xi's relationship with her was definitely better. She was just a colleague, hmph...

Alright, time for a nap. She still had class this afternoon...

In the afternoon, after Ling Xi arrived at Mobius's Laboratory No. 3, he was immediately met with Mobius's kind gaze.

"Ling Xi..."

Mobius walked up to Ling Xi with a smile and asked, "About last night... no one else knows, right?"

"Uh..."

Ling Xi froze for a moment, the scene of the snake shedding from last night involuntarily flashing through his mind...

And... why did he stop her yesterday? Couldn't he have just let the Doctor continue shedding? Damn it...

Regret. That's all he felt right now, immense regret.

"Ahem, don't worry, Doctor. In this world, only we know."

But now wasn't the time to dwell on that. He had to deal with the Doctor first, especially... the current Doctor.

"Oh, oh..."

Mobius nodded thoughtfully and smiled, "So, if you're silenced, no one will ever know about this, right?"

Ling Xi was speechless.

"Haha, alright, alright, I'm just teasing you."

Seeing Ling Xi's speechless expression, Mobius happily threw herself onto him and chuckled, "The tickets are bought. We're leaving for the Mu Continent tomorrow. Do you need to prepare anything else?"

"Prepare..."

Ling Xi thought for a moment, then shook his head. "I don't think I need to prepare anything. I'll just bring some clothes to change into."

"Is that so... Alright then."

Mobius thought it made sense. This was just a seminar, so there wasn't much to pack. Clothes to change into, a vanity case, necessary documents, a notebook, and so on.

In short, two suitcases should be enough.

"Sniff... sniff..."

Suddenly, Ling Xi thought he heard a familiar sound. Was that the Doctor...

Ling Xi?!

Instantly, Ling Xi seemed to remember something and quickly tried to move away from Mobius, but...

"Ling Xi..."

Mobius had already let go of him, still wearing a kind smile. "You seem to have a girl's scent on you again, and... it's your junior's."

"Uh, Doctor, actually Seele she..."

Ling Xi tried to explain. Yesterday it was Elysia, today it was Seele, and on top of that, he had witnessed the Doctor's snake shedding last night. His situation... was very dangerous.

"Forget it, I don't want to hear it..."

Mobius shook her head, stretched, and yawned with a smile. "Deal with Seele's matter as you see fit. After all, I know you won't give her up even if I tell you to..."

"Doctor, I really didn't mean it like that."

Ling Xi felt that Mobius might have misunderstood something and hurriedly tried to explain.

"No, I understand what you mean."

Mobius smiled faintly. "The Third Honkai... You don't want her to stay in Changkong City, do you?"

"Huh?"

At Mobius's words, Ling Xi didn't know how to respond.

"Heh heh, so..."

Mobius gently hugged Ling Xi, kissed him on the cheek, and smiled. "Before the Third Honkai arrives, either you do it, or I do it. In any case, let's first lure her... cough cough, let's first recruit her into the laboratory. Then, it will make sense even if we take her with us when we evacuate."

"Yes, I... understand. Thank you, Doctor."

Ling Xi instantly understood what his Doctor meant. As expected, no one knows a child better than a father, and no one knows me better than my wife!

"Hmph, we're family anyway, why thank me, you idiot..."

Mobius playfully tapped Ling Xi's head. Always saying thank you makes things feel distant.

"Aww..."

Ling Xi was speechless.

Ling Xi could only rub his head resentfully. Why was his head being tapped again? What's wrong with all of you?

"Heh heh, alright, alright, I was wrong..."

However, Mobius hugged Ling Xi again and smiled. "Ling Xi, after we finish this conference in the Mu Continent, let's get married..."

"Uh... okay."

Ling Xi really wanted to tell the Doctor not to make casual promises, but after thinking about it, he felt it shouldn't be a problem. After all, this was just a conference, not a war.

Besides, this time, the Doctor wasn't going alone. He... would be going too!

So, Ling Xi readily agreed.

"Heh heh... That's good..."

Mobius happily hugged Ling Xi. As long as she married Ling Xi, or did what she needed to do, then... Seele, that little girl, could just go play elsewhere.

Chapter 78: Buying a House? Darling, in the Mu Continent!

The next day, the flight the two were on landed at the capital airport of the Mu Continent.

"Mmm, it's been a while since I've been here."

Stepping off the plane, Mobius stretched lazily, looking at the familiar airport with a touch of nostalgia.

"Doctor, where are we going next!"

Ling Xi followed behind, looking at the continent he was setting foot on for the first time, both before and after his transmigration, feeling a sense of emotion.

Because, in the New Civilization Era, there was no Mu Continent. As for why...

That question should be answered by the Herrscher of Rock!

Through his research, Ling Xi learned that the Mu Continent had an area of a full 35 million square kilometers, second only to Asia, making it the second-largest continent in the world. Its total area was equivalent to three and a half Europes, and what was even more terrifying was...

The Mu Continent possessed the most advanced technology globally, and approximately 80% of outstanding scientists either hailed from the Mu Continent or graduated from institutions there.

Therefore, it was precisely for this reason that both the United Nations headquarters and the Flame-Chasing Moths headquarters were established on the Mu Continent, a place at the pinnacle of global civilization. This was also why this seminar was to be held on the Mu Continent.

"Let's head to the hotel we booked first. We'll rest today, or go out for a stroll. Tomorrow, the conference officially begins, and it's scheduled to last for three days."

Mobius had already arranged their itinerary. Of course, it was actually Klein who had made the arrangements beforehand, as it was part of Klein's duties as an assistant.

"Okay, sounds good."

Ling Xi naturally had no objections and said with a smile, "Then Doctor, you wait for me at the exit. I'll go get our luggage."

"Mm, go ahead."

Mobius nodded, having no objections...

Before long, the two arrived at the booked hotel, and here, Ling Xi truly experienced what technological living was like.

Intelligent parking, intelligent entrances, one-click intelligent check-in procedures, intelligent butlers, intelligent service staff, and so on. It was a perfect embodiment of "technology changes life."

To use an inappropriate analogy, Changkong City was like a normal early 21st-century society, while the capital of the Mu Continent was basically like life in the late 21st century, approaching the 22nd century.

In Ling Xi's opinion, it felt like something out of "Love 2077." Of course, this was just the visual impression. As for public safety, it was even better than the great nation he lived in before his transmigration.
