Seele puffed out her cheeks and warned Ling Xi with a serious expression.

"Don't worry, if I open it, I'll do anything, even kneel down and kiss Seele's feet, let alone be Seele's dog."

Ling Xi patted his chest and solemnly promised.

Seele: "??? Something's getting weirder and weirder!"

"Whoosh..."

In the afternoon, Ling Xi returned to the lab carrying Seele's suitcase. This girl really has a lot of stuff.

"Um?"

In the laboratory lobby, Mobius was slacking off while watching a movie when he saw Ling Xi suddenly walk in carrying a large bag. He immediately became curious and asked, "Didn't you move all your things over the day before yesterday? What's this?"

"Seele's things."

Ling Xi casually put down her suitcase and smiled at her Doctor, "Because Seele felt it would be a bit troublesome to move it later, she asked me to bring it over for her first, so it will be more convenient later."

"Oh..."

Upon hearing this, Mobius immediately became interested and laughed, "I didn't expect you to actually manage to do it. I thought we'd have to activate Plan B."

Ling Xi "..."

Plan B, of course, is the plan to forcibly take Seele away during the evacuation...

"I can only say that I have fulfilled my mission."

Ling Xi shrugged and smiled at Mobius, "Doctor, I'll take the things upstairs and leave them there first."

"Okay, go ahead."

Mobius casually waved his hand, signaling Ling Xi to hurry up, and said with a smile, "Come down quickly after you've put it down, I have something to tell you."

"Alright!"

Ling Xi nodded decisively in agreement, and then quickly moved Seele's luggage to her own room.

"Doctor, is there something you need?"

After putting away her luggage, Ling Xi returned to the lobby downstairs and sat down next to Mobius, asking the Doctor if there was anything she needed.

"Actually, it's nothing much, I just wanted to ask you..."

With a smile, Mobius asked in a low voice, "You haven't forgotten what we're supposed to do tomorrow, have you?"

Mobius directly asked Ling Xi about tomorrow's plans. For him and his companions who were about to leave Changkong City, tomorrow should be the most important thing they had to do in Changkong City.

"Of course I remember."

Ling Xi smiled too. No matter what she had forgotten, she could never forget what she had to do tomorrow: Saturday, get her marriage certificate, her Doctor ...

"Let's go together tomorrow morning, and then..."

Ling Xi smiled slightly and said, "How about we take a good look around Changkong City? After all... this should be the last time."

"Yeah, that's right..."

Seeing that Ling Xi hadn't forgotten, Mobius nodded in satisfaction, but upon hearing Ling Xi's next words, she sighed, "Perhaps it would have been better to do this after we went to the Mu Continent, but..."

Mobius turned to look at Ling Xi and smiled, "I still want to settle this matter in Changkong City. After all... this is the last memory we have left in Changkong City. Although, I never thought that one day I would have to say goodbye to the city where I have lived for several years."

Ling Xi "..."

Ling Xi remained silent in response to Mobius's words, after all...

Knowing the plot, I naturally know that the entire human civilization will be destroyed in the future, and the last three cities will be completely nuked by the Corrosion Herrscher, who is actually Rin. The destruction of Changkong City is just the beginning.

Of course, Ling Xi wouldn't tell Mobius these things, at least... she couldn't tell her yet.

After all, the future we know isn't necessarily the future that will inevitably happen; what if...?

If, after I tell Mobius the ending, Mobius chooses to either give up or start preparing for hibernation, then humanity can really declare doom. Let's just destroy it already!

Although given Mobius's personality, she would never do such a thing, she would certainly be affected to some extent.

So let's leave the future for the future. My task now is... to protect the Doctor!

Chapter 125: Miss Fairy Launches an Attack!

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore."

Mobius chuckled and stretched, deciding to stop talking to Ling Xi about Changkong City. Instead, he squinted at Ling Xi and asked, "By the way, Ling Xi, what do you think of Elysia?"

"Elysia?"

Ling Xi paused for a moment, seemingly not quite understanding why Mobius had suddenly asked this, but after a brief thought, Ling Xi replied, "A very sociable and cheerful girl who can chat with almost anyone, but..."

"There's always a sense of danger in her words, and if I had to put it specifically..."

Ling Xi thought for a moment, sighed, and smiled, "Well, in short, I think that Elysia can be a friend, even a close confidante, but... it's best not to trust her completely. After all, someone you can't guess what they're thinking just by looking at their expression is very dangerous."

Ling Xi's last words weren't because she had any issues with Elysia, but rather because of her intuition.

Just think about it: if you ask for directions and there are two strangers, one is Elysia and the other is Ciliate, and both of them are lying, who do you think is more likely to be seen through?

Without a doubt, it's the Ciliate, since it doesn't hide its emotions at all, while Elysia always has the same expression on her face, making it impossible to guess what she's thinking.

Therefore, it's best not to completely trust someone like Elysia, who always has a smile on her face but never shows her true feelings, because... she's really dangerous.

Although Mobius sometimes does this, it's not that serious. Besides, the Doctor is the person I have an infinite contract with, so he's absolutely trustworthy.

"Mmm..."

After listening to Ling Xi's opinion, Mobius nodded thoughtfully and smiled, "What you said isn't wrong, but that's just Elysia's personality. However, you don't need to be afraid of her, and you don't need to be afraid that she'll use me to threaten you. After all... compared to her, I certainly trust you more, and..."

Mobius smiled slightly and said, "That girl is best at understanding people's hearts, so most of the time she is just bluffing. In this situation, as long as you confront her directly and don't back down, her so-called bluffing is just a way to scare children."

So, Elysia was just bluffing all along...?

Ling Xi: "..." Should I still go tonight or not?

If I go... I'm afraid the problem will be even bigger, but if I don't go, what if that girl really comes looking for me?

In the evening, after dinner, Ling Xi drove Ying and Ling home. Although she didn't have to, Ling Xi still decided to take them home.

"Thank you, Ling Xi, for bringing us back again."

After arriving at her doorstep, Sakura looked at Ling Xi with gratitude and happiness. Even though it was so close, and both she and Rin knew the way, Ling Xi still came all the way to see her and her sister off. This... was really heartwarming.

"Don't be shy, just treat it as an after-dinner walk."

Ling Xi smiled and said there was no need to be polite, but Ling Xi actually felt a little... guilty about Ying's thanks.

The reason I volunteered to take them was mainly because I was going to Elysia's place!

However, I couldn't find an excuse to do it, so I could only take advantage of Sakura a little. I'm really... sorry.

"Hey... well... Ling Xi, would you like to come in and sit for a while?"

Sakura smiled and invited Ling Xi to come over for a visit. As soon as Ling Xi entered the house, she would immediately lock Lingxi in her room to do her homework, thus giving her a chance to be alone with Ling Xi.

"No need, maybe next time."

Ling Xi shook her head, declining Ying's invitation, and said with a smile as she turned around, "Well then, Ying, you should get some rest too. I'll head back now."

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

Seeing that her invitation had failed, Sakura was a little disappointed, but she didn't say much, after all, that's just her personality!

If it were Elysia, she would definitely grab the abbot's arm and think she could just walk away after offending him? No way!

"Hey, you actually came?"

A moment later, Ling Xi arrived at Elysia's house, and Elysia looked surprised to see that Ling Xi had actually come.

"Because someone said this morning that if I didn't come, she would have to come herself."

Ling Xi looked at Elysia with a helpless expression. Did this girl really think I wanted to come?

"Hehe, how could that be?"

Elysia chuckled and said, "What I said this morning was just because I was worried you wouldn't come, so I said it on purpose. If you really didn't come, I wouldn't have gone to find you. I was just saying it."

"Really? Then I'll head back."

Upon hearing what Elysia said, Ling Xi decisively turned around and prepared to leave.

Elysia "..."

"No, we're already here, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Elysia quickly grabbed Ling Xi's arm and huffed with slight dissatisfaction, "If you dare to leave again, I'm going to do what I did yesterday again!"

"What happened yesterday..."

Ling Xi glanced at Elysia, then grabbed Elysia wrist and pulled Elysia forcefully into his arms. He chuckled and said, "You mean... something like that?"

"Eh..."

Seeing Ling Xi suddenly become so proactive, Elysia was clearly a little surprised, but she still had a smile on her face. "Wow, Ling Xi, you seem particularly proactive today? Aren't you afraid that Mobius will find out?"

"It's okay, I'll just say that Elysia insisted on coming over to me."

Ling Xi smiled. Through her interactions with Alicia yesterday and today, and with the Doctor's guidance, Ling Xi had come to know Elysia's personality. Although she couldn't be completely sure, she knew that this girl was very good at bluffing. And when facing someone who was bluffing, she should just go for it, just like the Doctor said!

"Oh? So it's okay if I initiated it?"

Elysia's eyes lit up, as if she had unlocked some new way to play.

"Forehead..."

To be honest, seeing Elysia's eyes made Ling Xi a little scared. After all, she was no match for Elysia when it came to playing tricks on her!

But if I back down here, won't Elysia become even more aggressive? Maybe in the future, I'll have to avoid Elysia altogether...

So... no, absolutely not.

I absolutely cannot back down today, or I'll be a coward for the rest of my life.

Ling Xi took a deep breath and said seriously, "Yes, Elysia, as long as you dare to come, I dare to accept. Anyway... I won't lose out."

"Eh..."

A flicker of surprise crossed Elysia's face, then a smile spread across her lips as she chuckled softly, "Ling Xi, then..."

As she spoke, Elysia wrapped her arms around Ling Xi's neck, gently rising onto her tiptoes, and finally...

Thump!

In an instant, Ling Xi felt her mind go blank, and at the same time she could feel the softness on her lips. After the Doctor and Seele, she felt the lips of a third person, namely... Elysia's lips!

Chapter 126: Is that what you call liking someone? You...

Ling Xi was completely dumbfounded. What the hell was this?

Wasn't Elysia supposed to be bluffing? But... this is already a kiss, isn't it?

This isn't a kiss on the cheek or an ear lick. While those actions are certainly intimate, they have a completely different meaning from a kiss. After all, a kiss on the cheek can be interpreted as a Western custom, but...

There's no way you could just kiss someone directly, right?

"Mmm..."

A moment later, Elysia released Ling Xi and smiled, "How are my lips? Aren't they sweet?"

Ling Xi "..."

Ling Xi didn't want to speak at this moment because he felt... he might become the Doctor's sister.

"Don't worry, this is our secret, so I won't tell anyone else."

Elysia smiled slightly and said, "Of course, if you want to tell Mobius, then I can't stop you. Anyway... just tell Mobius that it was my idea, and put all the blame on me."

Ling Xi: "..." Although I really want to do that, isn't that a bit too despicable?

Ling Xi had certainly considered Elysia's situation, but...
