Get the License on Saturday, Get Married in Mu Continent-Perfect!

Let's just skip visiting the Doctor tonight and go back to our room to rest. Doctor's been so tired today; let her get some rest.

Soon, Ling Xi arrived on the second floor, only to find that the Doctor's room was not closed. Of course, Ling Xi obviously had no intention of going to see the Doctor, but planned to quietly... gently, and slowly slip past the Doctor's door...

"Why did you take so long to get back?"

As soon as Ling Xi took a small step, Mobius's voice came.

Ling Xi "..."

Silently turning her head to look at the room, she saw Mobius lying on the bed, leaning against the headboard, with a laptop on his lower abdomen, doing something.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Ling Xi standing at the door without coming in, Mobius looked up at Ling Xi and said with a smile, "Come in! You can't be shy, can you? Remember to close the door."

Ling Xi "..."

"Um, Doctor, aren't you very tired today? Why don't you get some rest?"

Although Ling Xi washed away Elysia's scent at Sakura's place, it's not certain if it was completely gone. After all, the Doctor is a snake, and a snake's sense of smell is something no human can easily replicate.

"Are you tired? Are you?"

Mobius looked at Ling Xi with a strange expression and laughed, "Weren't these the most relaxed days for us? We haven't done any experiments, and this afternoon we only wrote one paper. It couldn't be easier. You call this tiring?"

"Forehead..."

Ling Xi was also taken aback. Indeed, although she had been busy running around all day, the Doctor had really been slacking off the whole time.

"Stop talking nonsense and come in quickly. Don't forget what we agreed on this afternoon."

Mobius grinned mischievously at Ling Xi. Was this guy trying to run away? No way.

Ling Xi "..."

"Um, Doctor..."

Remembering the Doctor's incredible sense of smell, Ling Xi thought it might be better to confess. Of course, she could only confess part of the story, since confessing everything that had just happened...

Ling Xi was afraid that Mobius would immediately grab a kitchen knife and go after Elysia to fight to the death, but... the Doctor definitely couldn't beat Elysia.

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

Mobius looked at Ling Xi with some curiosity. She felt that this guy was acting a bit strange today. Normally, every night when they went to bed, he would pounce on her immediately, either giving her a bunch of kisses, trying to do something, or watching a movie together, but...

Ling Xi now seems a little unfamiliar with me. No, it shouldn't be described as unfamiliar; it should be described as... cowardly?

"Forehead..."

Ling Xi touched her nose, silently walked to the bedside, and said, "Before... after I took Ying and the others home, I was about to go straight back to the lab, but I ran into..."

"Whoosh..."

Mobius immediately jumped out of bed, pounced on Ling Xi, and sniffed her intensely...

"Hmm... so it really is Elysia?"

Mobius pursed his lips, already guessing what Ling Xi had encountered on her way back. After all, Ling Xi didn't know many people at the First Research Institute, but Elysia was one of them, and...

That vixen is always very interested in Ling Xi, which really annoys me!

Fortunately, I was vigilant enough and never let Elysia succeed. Ling Xi still belongs to me.

Ling Xi speechless. Luckily, she was smart enough to confess, otherwise she would definitely be doomed.

"Ling Xi, what did Elysia do to you?"

Mobius asked somewhat warily. Although the scent of Elysia on Ling Xi wasn't strong, far less so than Ying and Ling's, Elysia was still unsettling just to be near her!

"Uh... no, no, she is..."

Ling Xi scratched his head and laughed, "She suddenly pounced on me from behind and climbed onto my back, but... that's all."

"Hmph, vixen..."

Mobius pursed his lips, then asked, "And then? How did she let you go?"

"Mmm..."

Ling Xi hesitated for a moment before saying, "I told her about... the Honkai of Changkong City."

"Oh... I see..."

Upon hearing this, Mobius was taken aback for a moment, but didn't seem too surprised, saying, "I knew it. With that girl's shrewdness, how could she not have guessed this?"

As he spoke, Mobius turned to look at Ling Xi and asked with a smile, "I think she must have already guessed many of the truths, almost all of them, so you told her, right?"

"Eh... Doctor, you don't seem surprised?"

Seeing Mobius's reaction, Ling Xi was somewhat surprised. She had thought that the Doctor would be furious after she spoke up, given how important the matter was, but...

Mobius simply said "Oh," and then said nothing more.

"Surprised? Why should I be surprised?"

Mobius shrugged and laughed, "Elysia, that vixen, although I hate her, I have to admit she's very shrewd. She's already got a pretty good idea of what we've been doing these past few days, plus our paper this afternoon. She probably came to you just to confirm something."

"Forehead..."

Ling Xi was speechless for a moment. So, Elysia had guessed this, Mobius had actually foreseen it all along. So... why did he insist for so long before? Wouldn't it have been better to just tell Elysia directly?

In the end, I almost lost my virginity... well, it doesn't seem like a complete loss.

"However, there are some things I'm curious about, such as..."

Mobius silently looked at Ling Xi, then asked with a smile, "Why did you tell Elysia the truth? I haven't forgotten the tone you used when you told me this that day; it was completely an attitude that you absolutely couldn't tell a third person, and then..."

Mobius looked at Ling Xi curiously and smiled, "I'm very curious, what did Elysia give you to make you tell her the truth?"

Benefit?

Ling Xi: "..." It should be considered a benefit, but do I dare to say it?

Chapter 116: Going to get the marriage certificate on Saturday, Mu Continent gets married, perfect!

"Um... actually, it's just a promise."

After hesitating for a moment, Ling Xi obviously couldn't tell the Doctor what had happened between Elysia and her before. She could only awkwardly say, "Elysia said she would grant me one request, any request. And... mainly because Elysia had already basically guessed the truth at that time. If I didn't tell her, she was very likely to leak the matter, and then things would become even more troublesome."

"Any conditions...?"

Upon hearing this news, a increasingly maniacal smile spread across Mobius's face. He gently embraced Ling Xi and said tenderly, "Ling Xi, how about giving me this offer?"

Ling Xi: "???"

Hey, Doctor, your expression is terrifying.

"Um... Doctor, I'm afraid that won't work."

Ling Xi quickly shook her head and said, "Elysia said that this condition only counts if I say it, and... Doctor, let's not use this opportunity for revenge against Elysia, okay? Elysia... she's also a very promising person, with a bright future..."

"It might become an asset to us in the future."

Ling Xi certainly wouldn't dare offer this condition to Mobius, not because she was unwilling, but because she didn't dare!

After all, Elysia and Mobius have a long-standing grudge, and once Mobius has such an opportunity, then... the consequences are unpredictable.

Moreover, if she gave the opportunity to Mobius, it was uncertain whether Elysia would even acknowledge it.

Therefore, Ling Xi really didn't dare to give this opportunity to Mobius.

"Hmph, I knew that girl wouldn't suffer a loss."

Mobius pursed his lips, but he wasn't surprised. After all, given how shrewd that girl was, how could she possibly leave such a big loophole?

"Ling Xi, you didn't forget to ask her to keep this a secret, did you?"

Mobius stretched and asked the question again. After all, the most important thing to keep this matter secret was that if it were leaked, the whole script would change and Honkai... Nobody knew where that would happen.

"Elysia agreed."

Ling Xi nodded slightly and smiled, "Moreover... I think she can be trusted, because before I spoke, I told Elysia not to ask why, and after I finished speaking, Elysia indeed didn't ask that question."

"She's alright. At least in these aspects, that girl is quite reliable."

Mobius wasn't surprised by this, after all, he was one of the people who knew Elysia best. Although she usually seemed extremely unreliable, she was someone you could count on in a critical moment.

Moreover, she's beautiful, has a sunny personality, high emotional intelligence, and can get along well with anyone—she's practically perfect. It's just a pity... she has a mouth. If I could have surgery to sew her mouth shut, that would be perfect!

"Is the Doctor tired? Shouldn't you get some rest?"

Seeing Mobius stretching and yawning, Ling Xi asked him with concern.

"Yeah, I'm tired."

Mobius smiled and nodded, then opened his arms to Ling Xi and said in a coquettish tone, "I want to take a bath, carry me there."

Ling Xi "..."

"Yes, Doctor..."

With the Doctor being so proactive, Ling Xi naturally wouldn't refuse. She gently picked up Mobius and walked towards the bathroom.

"Mmm... so comfortable... ah..."

In the bathtub, Mobius leaned against Ling Xi's chest, enjoying the comfortable water temperature. It was truly... so comfortable.

Ling Xi "..."

Holding the Doctor who had just Snake Shedding, imagining how soon he could hold such a perfect Doctor and the two of them conducting a great experiment to explore the mysteries of human origins, just thinking about it made him very excited, so...

If you still don't feel anything, then you should just cut it off as soon as possible, so you can become sisters with the Doctor!

Of course, I could think about it, but I definitely couldn't cause trouble in a place like this...

"Doctor, when do we expect to leave Changkong City?"

So, Ling Xi started using the technique of diverting her attention, talking to the Doctor about serious matters, which helped her suppress her thoughts about experiments.

"Well... it should be within the next week or two."

Speaking of this, Mobius said seriously, "After all, at the latest it will be half a year, at the earliest it will be tomorrow, who knows when it will break out, so naturally the sooner the better."

"Hmm, I think that's a good idea."

Ling Xi had no objections to Mobius's arrangements. She knew the Third Honkai Eruption was bound to erupt in Changkong City sooner or later, so of course she had to leave as soon as possible. As for what happened next...

Let's expedite the construction of rescue facilities around Changkong City.

"By the way, has your junior classmate been won over yet?"

Speaking of evacuation, Mobius also thought of Seele and laughed, "You don't have much time left. If she's still unwilling when it's time to evacuate, then... we'll probably have to take forceful measures to take her away."

"Um... I'll do it as soon as possible."

Speaking of Seele, Ling Xi felt somewhat helpless. After all, Seele's hostility towards Mobius was quite strong, especially when she tried to invite Seele today, she refused before Seele could even finish speaking.

Therefore, the plan to recruit Seele into the laboratory is probably doomed to fail.

Therefore, there are only two options left: either persuade Seele to go to the Mu Continent with him as her boyfriend, or... have the guards of the Flame-Chasing Moths or Sakura take action to forcibly bring Seele to the Mu Continent.

However, the second method has a problem: what should we do with it after we bring it there?

We can't keep Seele under house arrest forever, can we? But if we don't keep an eye on Seele, that girl might just go back to Changkong City.

In short, if circumstances allowed, Ling Xi naturally hoped that Seele would leave with him voluntarily, rather than being forced.

"Anyway, you can do whatever you want with it."

Mobius stretched, turned to look at Ling Xi, and laughed, "Anyway, we... have to leave Changkong City by this weekend at the earliest, or next Sunday at the latest."

Leaving Changkong City within two weeks was also Mobius's initial plan. As the saying goes, a wise man does not stand under a crumbling wall. Since he already knew that Changkong City would Honkai, why would he continue to stay here? Isn't that just idiotic?

Therefore, Mobius kept everything simple: pack up what needed to be packed, evacuate those who needed to leave, and then... he could leave.

As for what happens after I leave, whether the Honkai occurs six months later or the very next day, it has nothing to do with me anymore. The only thing I can do is probably to contribute some resources to support the post-disaster reconstruction efforts.

"Ling Xi ..."

Mobius suddenly turned around, smiling at Ling Xi, "How about we get our marriage certificate on Saturday, and then have the formal wedding ceremony when we arrive on the Mu Continent?"

Ling Xi: "..." Why does this feel so familiar? Is this... a death flag?

"Hmm..."
