"Evidence..."

Elysia took out her phone and handed it to Ling Xi, smiling, "Sorry, I was just trying to take a selfie, but unfortunately I ended up taking one."

Ling Xi took the phone and saw a photo—a photo of himself kissing Elysia on the cheek, with one Elysia closed, looking as if he had been ambushed...

Ling Xi, "..." Perhaps she should have ignored her and gone back in the first place.

If there were no photographs, Ling Xi might still be able to deny it to the Doctor, but now...

"Whoosh..."

Ling Xi took a deep breath, pondering whether to physically destroy the evidence, even if it meant paying compensation.

"By the way, Ling Xi, my phone has automatic backup enabled, so..."

Seemingly seeing through Ling Xi's thoughts, Elysia smiled elegantly and said, "The photos are uploaded to the cloud while they are being taken."

"Elysia, what exactly are you trying to say?"

Helpless, Ling Xi could only look at Elysia again. There was nothing she could do; this fairy lady was really difficult to deal with.

"It's nothing, just inviting you to my home as a guest."

Elysia remained true to her original intention and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm really just a guest and won't do anything unnecessary."

Ling Xi: "..." Won't do anything unnecessary? Then why should I go?

Uh... no, we only went to legitimate clubs!

"Hey, let's go..."

However, whether or not to go is no longer up to me; I might as well just go with this girl.

"Wouldn't it have been better to do this sooner?"

Elysia smiled and turned to lead the way, "Come with me, it's just ahead... By the way, you should have been here once before."

As they walked, Elysia turned back to look at Ling Xi and said with a smile, "By the way, that was my first kiss, you know... But if it wasn't a direct kiss, it shouldn't count as my first kiss, right? Ling Xi, what do you think?"

Ling Xi: "..." I don't feel like talking...

"Don't worry, I'll keep this a secret."

Elysia turned to look at Ling Xi, backing away while laughing, "After all, you belong to Mobius. If she finds out, she'll be chasing after me and killing me. Of course, she might also perform some modifications on you, so..."

Elysia grinned mischievously, "This is a secret between us, so you must keep it a secret."

Ling Xi "..."

Although she knew perfectly well that this was another of Elysia's tricks, she remembered that a certain god of freebies once said that, rationally speaking, if the Doctor knew about this, she might actually do it...

In short, keep Elysia calm for now, then sound out the Doctor's intentions tonight, and if possible...

Let's explain it properly. After all, given their current relationship, there shouldn't be anything that can't be explained. Besides... the Doctor just said yesterday that we should discuss things together.

Chapter 112: Did the Fairy Miss also read the script?

"Please sit wherever you like, it's not like it's your first time here."

Soon, Ling Xi followed Elysia to her home. Elysia offered her drinks and said with a smile, "Don't be shy, make yourself at home."

Ling Xi "..."

Of course, Ling Xi didn't hold back either, after all, she had been tricked into coming here by this girl, so... she had to be a little arrogant.

So Ling Xi put her feet on the coffee table, then casually tore open a bag of potato chips and opened a can of Happy Water, saying, "Just say what you need to say, I'm in a hurry."

"Hehe, you really think this place is your own home..."

Seeing how Ling Xi expressed her dissatisfaction, Elysia couldn't help but laugh and then sat down next to Ling Xi.

Ling Xi: "???"

Ling Xi subconsciously wanted to move aside, but then she thought about it and realized that sitting together wasn't a loss for her, so why should she move aside?

As for the smell... well, I'm already covered in it, so what's there to be afraid of?

Therefore, Ling Xi decisively remained in place and silently watched Elysia, wanting to see what question this girl had in mind.

"These past few days, it seems your Doctor has been up to something big. Stopping experiments and sending people to the Mu Continent, what are you all doing..."

Elysia smiled slightly and said, "Are you planning to completely empty out the First Research Institute?"

"More or less."

Ling Xi did not deny this. "After all, Dr. Mobius's goal is to build a new experimental team, and the people at the First Research Institute are relatively familiar to him, so the Doctor plans to move them there together. Is there a problem?"

"Of course there's a problem, and a big one at that!"

Elysia scoffed, "You've been in Mobius's lab for a month, how could you not know Mobius's reputation there? Besides, I know Mobius; she would never team up with people who have different ideologies. Even if she really wanted to form a new experimental team, it would definitely not be these people from the First Research Institute, but someone she had to find from scratch."

"So, the reason that Mobius took everyone away to build a team is obviously not convincing."

Elysia looked at Ling Xi with a smile and said, "Let me guess, forming an experimental team... is just a pretext. As for why we want to go to the Mu Continent, I don't think that's the most important thing. The most crucial issue is... you want to leave Changkong City, right?"

Ling Xi "..."

At this moment, Ling Xi could only stare blankly at Elysia. Could this fairy lady have read the script?

Although she didn't guess the truth, she had already deduced that she was leaving Changkong City, so this fairy lady is really amazing.

"Looks like I guessed right."

Through Ling Xi's micro-expressions, Elysia instantly realized she was right. Sure enough, Mobius's eagerness to leave the First Research Institute wasn't about resources on the Mu Continent at all; his sole purpose was to leave Changkong City. But...

If you're leaving, then leave. If Mobius had left with Ling Xi and the others, I certainly wouldn't have suspected anything, and there wouldn't have been any ripples. In fact, the people in the research institute would have been happy. But Mobius didn't do that. Instead, he invited everyone to leave together. That's... something to think about.

"Ling Xi, your Doctor plans to leave with everyone from the research institute, and..."

Elysia smiled slightly and said, "According to my investigation, Klein seems to have been contacting some entrepreneurs in Changkong City and those based in the Far East recently. And from what I've noticed, these people seem to be sponsors of your lab. As for Klein..."

"But you took the initiative to invite them to go to the Mu Continent together, I said..."

Elysia flipped over and straddled Ling Xi, pinning Ling Xi laughed and said, "Could it be that Changkong City is about to face some danger, but Mobius sensed it and is planning to run away with the key person?"

Ling Xi "..."

"Elysia, do you know Mihoyo?"

Ling Xi now strongly suspects that Elysia is also a time traveler, or that she worked at Mihoyo, otherwise how would she know the script?

He hadn't said anything, only replying that Mobius wanted to leave Changkong City for the Mu Continent, but...

As it turns out, this fairy lady had already figured out almost the whole truth through various clues, which was simply... terrifying!

Indeed, never underestimate anyone's wisdom. Although this is a game world, it is also a real world. If I had treated them as NPCs, I would probably have been annihilated.

Mobius and Elysia, one can only say that they are Flame-Chasing Moths of the Previous Era, neither of them is simple!

"Mihoyo? What's that?"

Elysia was completely bewildered; this time, she genuinely had no idea.

"Nothing..."

Ling Xi shook her head. It seemed that Fengmo Da Wei was not in this world.

"By the way, can you get off me?"

Although Ling Xi was surprised that Elysia could guess so much, the girl was now completely riding on his lap in a very convenient position, making him wonder if she was up to something naughty.

"No, unless you tell me the truth."

Elysia gently grabbed Ling Xi's wrists with both hands and pressed them directly onto the sofa, saying with a wicked smile, "If you don't tell the truth, I'll keep you locked up here like this forever. Don't even think about escaping."

"Elysia, I'm getting angry."

Ling Xi was already a little angry, but not really angry, because it was really hard to get angry when she was with this fairy-like lady.

"Don't be like that, I was just curious."

Elysia rested her head on Ling Xi's shoulder, staring at Ling Xi expectantly. "Just tell me the truth, I promise I won't tell a third person. Do you think I'm the kind of person who would go around telling everyone my secrets?"

Ling Xi: "???"

"Then... after I came to your house last time, the Doctor found out about this the next day. What happened?"

Ling Xi's lips twitched slightly. "Trust you to keep a secret? I might as well believe that the Immortal is D-rank Valkyrie."

"Um... it must have been Mobius who investigated it, after all, Mobius is so amazing."

Elysia immediately shifted the blame to Mobius.

"Yeah?"

Ling Xi glanced at Elysia and said quietly, "But later the Doctor told me that you were the one who went to talk to the Doctor that night."

"Eh..."

Seeing her lie exposed, Elysia was a little embarrassed, but she was thick-skinned, so she decisively said, "Okay, okay, I apologize, at worst, uh..."

Elysia laughed and said, "How about I give you a kiss too?"

Ling Xi "..."

Chapter 113: You can make any request to Miss Fairy...

Looking at Elysia so close to him, with her cherry-red lips and delicate face, if only...

"Hoo... Stop fooling around, Elysia."

Taking a deep breath, Ling Xi still didn't agree, saying, "Since you've already guessed my relationship with the Doctor, then... you shouldn't be doing this now?"

"Oh, so you admit it now?"

Elysia was slightly surprised that this guy actually admitted it; she thought he would never admit it.

"Yes, you've admitted it, so... can you come down now?"

Ling Xi looked at Elysia speechlessly and smiled helplessly, "If you keep doing this, the Doctor won't let me off the hook."

"No, you can't."

Elysia still refused, laughing, "I already said, as long as you tell me the truth about leaving Changkong City, I'll come down. And I won't take advantage of you for free; I'll pay you after I tell you."

"I don't need any compensation."

Ling Xi is not short of money now, after all, she receives a salary from her Doctor, which, although not particularly high, is enough for her daily needs.

"No, no, no, this is... a special reward."

Elysia smiled slightly and said, "If you tell me the truth, then... I can grant you one request, any request!"

"Any conditions?"

Hearing this, Ling Xi silently sized up Elysia, then deliberately asked with a smile, "Oh? Really... any conditions? If so, then I can agree."

"Yes, any conditions..."

Elysia still had a mysterious smile on her lips, and said softly, "Even... that kind of request is fine."

Ling Xi: "..." Wait, this script... something's not right!

Normally, if I said that, wouldn't the girl be wary, clutching her chest, and saying, "You can't make that kind of request"?

But... why is the script different for Elysia?

Don't you believe me?

Elysia released Ling Xi's wrist and then placed her hand on her back, saying with a smile, "Well then, let me show my sincerity first. You can tell me after you've finished!"

As she spoke, Elysia removed her shawl and arm guards, revealing her fair shoulders and arms. Then, she placed her hands on Ling Xi's shoulders and laughed, "So, are you interested? Don't worry, I won't hold you responsible afterward, but..."

Elysia grinned mischievously, "You have to tell me the truth, whether you want to do it with me or not!"

Ling Xi "..."

At this moment, Ling Xi was completely at a loss, because... this girl was not following the script at all?

"Alright, alright, I give up..."

Ling Xi quickly turned Elysia over, then took off her coat and draped it over Elysia, saying helplessly, "I can tell you the truth, but..."

"Don't worry, I understand."
