I, Seele, Refuse to Be the Loser! / Stay by the Doctor's Side, and It's for Life!

It wasn't until the very end, when Mobius and the others arrived, that he learned the whole story, including... that Ling Xi had fought the Third Herrscher for his sake!

You should already know about my relationship with Ling Xi.

Seeing that Seele was hesitant to answer, Mobius took the initiative and said, "So, if you want to leave, I can send someone to take you back to Europe right now. Of course, I will help you with your school and living expenses, and I can also sponsor you with some money!"

"Hmm..."

Seele silently raised her head, looking at Mobius with some hesitation, and asked, "Can... can I stay?"

"You know about my relationship with Ling Xi, right?"

Mobius didn't answer the question directly, but instead asked Seele the same question in return. She didn't want to agree to Seele too easily, after all, Seele was at least half responsible for this accident, and Mobius didn't want a repeat of that situation, so...

Seele wants to stay, she must make things clear now to avoid causing trouble for Ling Xi later.

"Know..."

Seele lowered her head slightly, clearly already aware of Ling Xi and Mobius's situation.

"Then why are you still willing to stay?"

Mobius looked at Seele with some hesitation.

"I..."

Seele wanted to answer, but she couldn't bring herself to speak, because she knew how big of a mess she had made this time.

"Never mind, you can stay here for now."

Seeing that Seele had already said this, Mobius didn't want to say anything more, after all, it was Seele's own decision. However, Mobius still said, "But, after Ling Xi wakes up, you should explain things to Ling Xi yourself. I don't want this kind of thing to happen a second time!"

"Okay, I understand..."

Seele didn't refuse and nodded silently.

So, Mobius didn't say anything more to Seele. In short, he would let Seele stay by his side for the time being until Ling Xi woke up.

Let's go back to the present...

In short, after Mobius and Seele finished their conversation, Seele understood how much Ling Xi had sacrificed for her, so she no longer cared about Ling Xi and Mobius's relationship. Now...

My only hope is that Ling Xi is alright, and at the same time... that she can forgive me!

"Seele, it's alright."

Ling Xi gently held Seele's shoulders, then reached out to lift her chin, and smiled, "After all, it was me who said I would take you away, so it was my responsibility that I couldn't find you that day. And in the end... that was entirely my choice. Besides, I didn't go to fight the Third Herrscher entirely for you, but rather..."

Ling Xi said in a serious tone, "For my Doctor, Seele, do you know? My Dr. Mobius really needs Herrscher Core for her research, so I went to the Third Herrscher to ask for Herrscher Core. I originally planned to Reason to Convince with her, but not only did she not give them to me, she also hit me. So... I had no choice but to reason with her."

"Puff..."

Seele burst out laughing, but she also knew very well that these words were just Ling Xi's way of comforting herself, because after Mobius's explanation, she knew very well how terrifying the Herrscher was!

Furthermore, Mobius had clearly told him that the initial plan was for everyone to evacuate, and that fighting the Herrscher one-on-one was something he had never even considered.

Ultimately, Ling Xi's decision to challenge the Third Herrscher was for her own sake.

"Alright, Seele, let's not talk about the past."

Ling Xi patted Seele's hair and smiled, "Anyway, we've already safely arrived in the Mu Continent, right? Let's go have lunch first. The food here is much better than in Changkong City."

Ling Xi didn't want to talk to Seele much right now, not because she was unhappy with Seele, but simply because she was hungry.

Since the day the Honkai out, I've only eaten one breakfast, then a boxed lunch in the afternoon, followed by twelve hours of intense searching, and finally a nearly one-hour battle with the Herrscher of Thunder...

I woke up and it was already three days later. How could I not be hungry?

Although I'm getting IV fluids to replenish my nutrition, I'm still hungry!

"Um, that..."

As a result, Seele gently tugged at Ling Xi's clothes and asked in a very low voice, "Then, can I... can I still stay by your side?"

Chapter 146: I, Seele, will no longer be a loser!

Looking at Seele, who was cautiously pulling her along but keeping her head down and avoiding eye contact, Ling Xi was somewhat puzzled, mainly because of Seele's behavior...

"This..."

When Ling Xi clearly hesitated for a moment...

Back in Changkong City, in order to save Seele, I naturally wanted Seele to stay by my side, and wasn't that why I kept actively flirting with Seele? Although...

The subsequent outcome seemed to differ slightly from my plan...

But now, Seele is safe, and Mobius has made it clear that once they arrive on the Mu Continent, she will no longer help him hide their affair, so...

"Seele, um..."

After hesitating for a moment, Ling Xi decided to tell her about her relationship with Mobius. Although... it would most likely make Seele angry and leave, she couldn't keep it a secret any longer. It wouldn't hurt to take this opportunity to make things clear with Seele.

"I'm sorry... I'll be leaving."

Seeing Ling Xi's reaction, Seele silently lowered her head, feeling tears welling up in her eyes. Ling Xi's attitude made her feel that she no longer needed any answers.

So Seele decided to turn around and leave...

"Wait, Seele, that's not what I meant..."

Ling Xi quickly grabbed Seele's hand and said with some hesitation, "Of course I really hope Seele stays. After all, Seele is so cute, who wouldn't like her?"

"Eh... then... can I still stay by Ling Xi's side?"

Seele looked at Ling Xi with some surprise. If she agreed to the reason, why did she look so troubled just now?

"Yes, of course, but..."

Ling Xi nodded, then said with some hesitation, "Seele, actually, Mobius and I have already..."

"I know..."

Before Ling Xi could finish speaking, Seele interrupted Ling Xi, lowering her head slightly and whispering, "Dr. Mobius... she's already told me everything, so... I know."

"Huh?"

Hearing Seele's answer, Ling Xi was a little confused. Mobius had already told Seele everything, so why Seele still...?

Ling Xi was suddenly pleasantly surprised, because... did this mean that Seele had already...?

"Cough cough!"

Ling Xi forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, gently pulled Seele to lean against his chest, and asked softly, "Seele, then... are you still willing to stay by my side?"

"Yes, I... am willing."

At this moment, Seele's face was also slightly flushed.

If it were her past self, she would never have agreed, and even if she had, she wouldn't have been so decisive. But now, Seele knew very well that if she dared to say no, Mobius would immediately laugh wildly and buy a plane ticket to send her back to Europe overnight...

Seele "..."

In short, Seele now understands one thing very well: being arrogant and having blonde hair... is a dead end!

After saying that, Seele buried her head in Ling Xi, not daring to look at Ling Xi at all. Although her expression could not be seen, her ears were already red.

"Seele ..."

Upon hearing Seele's reply, Ling Xi's feelings could be summed up in one word: she was overjoyed!

I never expected Seele to agree so easily. Could it be... because of the Third Herrscher?

Mmm...

So it seems that this move not only didn't result in a loss, but actually made a huge profit.

Lightning Herrscher Core, Flame Herrscher Core, and Seele —as expected, the greater the risk, the greater the reward.

However, there's still one problem. Although Seele has been dealt with, but...

The Doctor hasn't figured it out yet. After all, this can't just be agreed upon by him and Seele; we also need to get Mobius's opinion. But... will the Doctor agree?

Ling Xi "..."

To be honest, Ling Xi was also quite unsure about this issue, after all...

The Doctor isn't some naive young girl like Seele; she's a seasoned career woman.

"Alright, Seele, let's go have lunch first, don't keep Mobius waiting."

Ling Xi decided to put this aside for the time being and talk to the Doctor about it after dinner. In short, she would reason with the Doctor first, and if Doctor didn't agree, then... it was time to reassert her husbandly authority!

"Okay, sure..."

Of course, Seele wouldn't refuse. She happily grabbed Ling Xi's arm and took the initiative to lead the way.

After all, Ling Xi arrived at the research institute feeling dizzy, so of course she didn't know where the cafeteria was...

The cafeteria was nearly empty, as it wasn't mealtime at all. Ling Xi was the only one eating; Mobius ate a couple of bites, while Seele watched Ling Xi with a beaming smile the entire time, serving her food, pouring water, and handing her tissues...

After lunch, Mobius sent Seele to find Sakura, while he took Ling Xi to the temporary laboratory.

"Hey! Isn't this Ling Xi?"

As soon as Danzhu entered the laboratory, she saw Ling Xi and greeted her cheerfully, "It's so good to see you're alright, it's been several days."

"Yes, it has been several days since we last met."

Ling Xi responded to Danzhu with a smile. After all, she had just recovered from a serious illness, so Ling Xi was in a pretty good mood.

"Ling Xi".

Compared to Danzhu, Cangxuan appeared much calmer, but he still smiled at Ling Xi, then took out a notebook and a pen, and asked, "Can I sign this?"

"A signature? Uh..."

Ling Xi was a little surprised for a moment, but she still took the things from Cangxuan's hands and said with a smile, "Sure, anyway, I don't know how many signatures I have to sign every day in the lab."

After all, Ling Xi is now considered an important assistant to Mobius, so Ling Xi is responsible for signing some documents, and has signed quite a few documents herself.

"Hey, sis, you're a fan of celebrities too?"

Seeing that Cangxuan was actually ahead of Ling Xi, Danzhu was also a little curious, because based on her understanding of her sister, she was the kind of person who wasn't interested in anything except making money, but now... she was actually asking Ling Xi for an autograph.

"Hmph, that's what you don't understand."

Cangxuan looked at Danzhu with pride and smiled, "Ling Xi, as the hero who saved Changkong City, is definitely popular around the world, especially in the Far East, where he is quite popular. So..."

As Cangxuan imagined the bright future, he happily said, "Just watch, in no time, Ling Xi's autographs will definitely fetch a high price. I'll stock up on a batch now and sell them in limited quantities later. Financial freedom will be within my reach!"

"Wow, big sister, big sister, please take me with you!"

After listening to Cangxuan's explanation, Danzhu immediately expressed his desire to join, because... this was a business with zero investment and huge profits! Getting Ling Xi's autograph was a piece of cake, right? And selling it would definitely fetch a high price, so this could absolutely lead to financial freedom!

Ling Xi "..."

Ling Xi simply tore up the signed notebook...

"Stop... no, my... financial freedom!"

"Sister... please take me with you!"

What's wrong with my ancestor asking for an autograph?

Chapter 147: Staying by the Doctor's side means a lifetime!

"Ling Xi?"

When Ling Xi arrived at the lab, Klein was also there. Upon seeing Ling Xi, his face lit up with joy, and he smiled, "Long time no see! How's your recovery going?"

"It's alright, nothing serious."

Ling Xi smiled and asked Klein in return, "By the way, were you busy Klein work these past few days while I was away?"

"It's nothing, I'm used to it."

Klein simply shrugged, indicating that he was used to it, then glanced at Mobius and said, "Doctor, yesterday another thirty-seven companies sent sponsorship applications, fifteen of which invited Doctor to a banquet."

"Same as always, cancel them all."

Mobius rejected them all without hesitation, and as he sat down in his seat, he said irritably, "I have a lot of projects to work on right now, and I don't have time to work on useless projects. If there are any sponsorships in the future, I'll reject them all."
