Although it was Elysia who took the initiative, is it really okay for me to push all the responsibility onto Elysia?

This is a classic case of getting a good deal and then complaining.

Moreover, although Mobius said he believed in himself, you should know that believing is one thing, but doing it is another. Regardless of whether you did it willingly or not, you have already made a mistake.

"I... I won't tell."

In the end, Ling Xi decided to keep it a secret with Elysia, and said with a somewhat helpless smile, "But Elysia, won't you regret doing this?"

Ling Xi looked at Elysia with a hint of helplessness, "You should know, I'm already with the Doctor, so..."

"Shh..."

Elysia gently pressed her finger to Ling Xi's lips and smiled, "Whether I regret it or not is not important. What's important is... does Ling Xi like it?"

Ling Xi "..."

"It's impossible for me to dislike it."

Ling Xi desperately wanted to deny it, but she just couldn't bring herself to say it. She smiled helplessly, "How could I possibly dislike kissing such a beautiful girl like Elysia? It's just..."

"That's right."

Elysia smiled slightly and said, "If you like it and I like it, that's enough. As for other issues..."

Elysia shrugged and laughed, "I'm not going to compete with Mobius. After all, Mobius wants to marry you, but me... hehe, slurp, I just want you. Don't worry, we won't interfere with each other."

Ling Xi: "???" Holy crap, I know this is wrong, but...

I'm actually starting to think there's some truth to it.

Besides, do I hate Elysia? Of course not!

Although he was somewhat wary of Elysia, he genuinely liked Elysia very much. She was beautiful and charming, and had a lovely voice. Being with her would almost never be boring.

"Ling Xi ..."

Seeing that Ling Xi seemed to be hesitating, Elysia's eyes also sparkled with joy. She licked her lips and smiled, "Then let's continue what we didn't finish yesterday. Don't worry, I'll keep it a secret."

With that, Elysia used a little force to pounce on Ling Xi and knock her down onto the sofa. Looking down at Ling Xi, she grinned mischievously, "Actually, I quite like you, although you might not believe it, but..."

At this point, Elysia's lips curled into a smug smile. "Anyway, Ling Xi, how about we give it a try?"

Ling Xi "..."

"You... like me?"

Ling Xi didn't answer Elysia's question, but was more concerned about what Elysia had just said.

"Yes, I like it, so what?"

Elysia readily admitted it, her face beaming with a generous smile. "Do you think liking someone means you have to hide it? No way! That kind of behavior is clearly giving your enemies an opportunity. Look at your Doctor, he's really quick on his feet. I've only just started to like you, and Mobius has already made you graduate. What a pity."

Ling Xi: "..." Is this how all girls talk?

Or is this just your true nature?

"Well... I have a question I'm really curious about: why do you like me?"

Ling Xi looked at Elysia, very curious about this question.

Why do you like it?

Elysia paused for a moment, then smiled with some confusion, "Don't you think this question is putting the cart before the horse?"

"Ha?"

Ling Xi was also stunned for a moment. Had the priorities been reversed?

"Mmm..."

Elysia stroked her chin, pondered for a moment, then leaned down, looking down at Ling Xi with their faces less than two inches apart, and smiled, "Ling Xi, do you... like me?"

Ling Xi: "???"

"Forehead..."

Ling Xi felt that this question was a bit difficult to answer.

"Hehe, so... what do you like about me?"

Elysia smiled again and said, "A pretty face, and a likable personality too?"

Ling Xi "..."

Ling Xi observed Elysia. She had to admit, this girl was truly beautiful, on par with the Doctor. Moreover, compared to Mobius, Elysia possessed an even more alluring charm. She was truly... Miss Pink Fairy.

To be honest, the reason I like Elysia... well, is that what you call liking? It's clearly lusting after her body! I'm speechless...

Although after getting to know Elysia, I also liked Elysia personality more and more. After all, it would be really pleasant to be with such a fairy lady.

But then again, who wouldn't yearn for a pretty girl?

"It seems you already have the answer."

Seeing Ling Xi's slightly complicated expression, Elysia had already guessed the answer. She pressed her body even closer, her lips close to Ling Xi's ear, and said with a mischievous smile, "So, that's why I feel the same way. You're so cute, brave, kind-hearted, and responsible, plus you have such strong potential. Isn't it normal for girls to like you?"

Ling Xi: "..." No, it's not as good as you say...

"Um... I'm not that good either."

Hearing Elysia praise herself like that, Ling Xi felt a little embarrassed. What did she mean by brave and kind-hearted? Stop kidding me.

No, you do.

Elysia retorted decisively, laughing, "Three months ago, H City Honkai, and that person was you, right? When you were fighting the Honkai Beast, you deliberately avoided the crowd and directly saved many survivors. And you did the same when the research institute Honkai last time. So... that's your courage and compassion."

Ling Xi: "..." Actually, it was just because I was doing a mission...

"Anyway, I really like you..."

Elysia gently stroked Ling Xi's face with her hand, and then kissed her...

Chapter 127: You can't run away from liking someone!

"So, have you made up your mind?"

A moment later, Elysia was still leaning against Ling Xi, looking at him with a smile.

Ling Xi "..."

"Hmph, running away is the act of a coward."

Seeing that Ling Xi didn't answer, Elysia snorted, "I already said I won't have any conflict with Mobius. As long as you agree, then... leave everything to me."

"Elysia, you..."

Seeing that Elysia didn't seem to be joking at all, Ling Xi couldn't help but say, "You were right before, you're a good girl, so... this isn't worth it."

"Heh, not worth it?"

Elysia burst out laughing and retorted, "So what do you think would be worth it? Am I supposed to stay single forever, or just marry anyone? It's not like I'm supposed to end up marrying a pretty girl, is it?"

Ling Xi: "..." No wonder you kept flirting with my sister Mei in the Elysian Realm. So you've already developed a crush on her now?

Also, did I change history again? Could it be that because I didn't exist in the original story, Elysia remained single and eventually ended up in the main storyline of the Honkai world—"Yuri is the best"?

But then again, it seems that heterosexual relationships are all miserable in this Honkai world. Whether it's the hat dealer Bishop Otto, the father-in-law and mother-in-law, or now Kevin and Mei, none of them seem to find happiness.

Even Anna, who only appears briefly in the story, is like that.

Therefore, the first rule for surviving after being transported to Honkai world is... don't be heterosexual!

"Alright, let's leave it at that for now."

After a moment, Elysia got up from Ling Xi, but also gently kissed him on the cheek, laughing, "But it's okay, I'll wait for you, anyway... I'll devour you bite by bite..."

Ling Xi "..."

"Ahem, Elysia, when are you planning to leave?"

Ling Xi quickly changed the subject, afraid that if he continued to be seduced by the fairy lady, he wouldn't be able to go home tonight.

"When are we leaving? Of course, we're leaving with you all."

Elysia smiled slightly and said, "The evacuation is almost complete. I estimate that we will be able to evacuate completely by next Friday. I don't have anything to take, so I can leave at any time."

"I see..."

Ling Xi thought for a moment and asked Elysia, "Elysia, are you... capable of reaching the strength of an S-rank member of the Poisoned Pupae?"

Previously, Ling Xi thought that before Mobius and Mei jointly developed the Fused Warrior, the combat power of the Previous Era was weak. However... after meeting Sakura, Ling Xi realized that things were far more complicated than that.

To be honest, if Sakura hadn't happened to know me, I might have been dead by the time she tried to assassinate me that day. And when we clashed swords, Sakura was clearly holding back.

Therefore, Ling Xi clearly realized that before the Fused Warrior, there were also powerful beings in the Previous Era. So... Elysia was probably one of those beings, otherwise...

Given her tendency to court death, it's practically a miracle she's still alive.

Moreover, Mobius had told him more than once that Elysia was not as simple as she seemed.

"How is that possible?"

Elysia shook her head and laughed, "I'm just an ordinary girl, a non-combatant. How could I possibly have the strength of an S-rank member of the Poisoned Pupae?"

Ling Xi: "..." I don't believe you for a second...

"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore."

Elysia looked at Ling Xi curiously and smiled, "You asked this because there's something wrong?"

"Nothing, just curious."

Seeing that Elysia wouldn't tell the truth, Ling Xi was too lazy to say anything more to her.

"No, please, I was wrong, okay?"

Elysia quickly apologized, though it was completely insincere, and said with a smile, "If there's anything you need, you can tell me. As long as it's not something like asking me to give up liking you, I'll definitely agree."

"I already said it's nothing."

Ling Xi simply shrugged and casually said, "After all, I was just a little curious as to why I, a man, am not as strong as you."

"Hehe, how could that be?"

Elysia smiled slightly and said, "It must be because you're also attracted to me, so you pretended to be weaker than me so you could find an excuse to stay with me. Hmm... Ah, Ling Xi, you're really cute."

Ling Xi: "..." If it weren't for the fact that I am the person in question, I might have actually believed your nonsense.

"Okay, okay, you probably don't know me well enough yet, so we don't need to rush."

Elysia winked at Ling Xi and smiled, "Let's talk about it after we get to the Mu Continent. By the way, when you and Mobius go to the Mu Continent, there must be many places you haven't been to yet, right? Don't worry, I know that place well. How about we go and explore together?"

"Forehead?"

Ling Xi hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "I think... it's okay."

Ling Xi thought Elysia's suggestion was a good idea, since she really wasn't familiar with the Mu Continent at all, and Mobius had been her guide for those few days last time, so...

Once we arrive on the Mu Continent, we can invite Doctor Seele, Klein, and the others, and then invite Alicia as well, so we can all have some fun together.

"Then it's settled!"

Elysia laughed happily, "Of course, once we get to the Mu Continent, you can't run away anymore..."

Elysia gently touched her own lips with her finger and smiled, "That was really my first kiss, even Mobius never got one."

Ling Xi: "..." First kiss is fine, but why did you bring up my Doctor?

"Alright, I'll give you my answer when we get to the Mu Continent."

However, at this moment, Ling Xi wasn't dwelling on the issue of her first kiss, but rather... how to get along with Elysia.

I'm willing to take the blame for Seele's situation because it was indeed my fault, but... Elysia, she really came to me of her own accord, she's the kind of person who's always going for it, and before I even realized it, my first kiss was gone.

Therefore, Ling Xi is very worried that Elysia will "awaken" next time, and then the Doctor can hold his head and go on a long voyage.

"Hmph, I don't want an answer..."

Elysia grinned and said, "What I mean is... once we get to the Mu Continent, you won't be able to escape. So what I mean by 'once we get to the Mu Continent's isn't your answer, but... you!"

As she spoke, Elysia looked at Ling Xi with a mischievous grin. "You think I want your answer, a yes or a no? No, from the very beginning, all I've wanted is you. If you don't agree..."

Hmph, we'll see!
