Someone Nearly Got Silenced, and She Still Has No Idea... / The Doctor Looks Annoyed but Is Very Obedient...

"Ling Xi, what's wrong with you... umm?"

Just as Mobius was about to ask Ling Xi how she did it, he suddenly sensed Ling Xi's presence...

"Cough cough..."

Ling Xi simply coughed lightly and calmly said, "Although I don't have the core of the Herrscher of the Void, I still have a little bit of spatial power remaining."

"Why didn't you tell me about something so important?"

Mobius was immediately somewhat dissatisfied. The power of the Herrscher of the Void, though only remnants, was still very valuable for research. After all, he couldn't access the Herrscher of the Void's core, nor could he even touch the corpse, so...

Even if Ling Xi only has a tiny bit of the Herrscher of the Void power here, it is still very precious to her.

"Anyway, next time, uh..."

Mobius suddenly closed one eye slightly, turned around and looked at Ling Xi with an annoyed expression, saying, "Next time, you'll come and help me with the lab yourself. I want to... well... do some research on the power of the Herrscher of the Void."

"Yes, Doctor!"

Ling Xi certainly wouldn't refuse, and besides...

If Mobius really wants it, then... he could consider personally going to the Flame-Chasing Moths headquarters to "borrow" the Void Archives Core, after all...

Although he had always wanted to curry favor with Mobius, at this point in time, even if he wasn't the strongest being in this civilization, he was definitely among the top combatants. At worst, he could become the Herrscher of Flame and borrow her. He believed that the higher-ups of the Flame-Chasing Moths would be easy to talk to!

"This set of data is... and this set is... wow, there's so much!"

In another laboratory, Klein was still processing the various data generated by Mobius, as well as some collaborative projects related to the laboratory, and he was also handling many documents given to the Doctor from outside sources. Anyway...

Aside from conducting research, his family's Doctor basically do nothing, while I... have to do everything.

"Hmm? This is... an invitation from headquarters?"

Suddenly, Klein saw an invitation from the headquarters of the Flame-Chasing Moths, but it wasn't an academic conference; it was a cocktail party.

"The Doctor will probably refuse."

The moment Klein knew without hesitation that Mobius wouldn't go, since the Doctor had spent almost all his time in the lab these past two days, not even going out to eat or sleep...

Well, it seems like it was pretty much the same before.

But this is an invitation from headquarters after all, and it wouldn't be right to just refuse it on behalf of the Doctor.

Forget it, I'm just an assistant, why think so much? I should just ask the Doctor.

So Klein took the invitation and prepared to go to Mobius to ask whether he should attend the reception at headquarters.

Chapter 164: Some people were almost silenced, but she herself didn't even know it...

"Doctor, there's a document here that needs to be..."

Klein pushed open the laboratory door and walked in, only to find himself in a very familiar scene...

At this moment, Ling Xi was sitting in a chair, while Mobius was sitting in Ling Xi's lap. The two of them seemed to be looking at him with some surprise.

"Klein..."

Mobius subconsciously wanted to slip away from Ling Xi.

"Doctor, cough cough!"

Ling Xi quickly pressed Mobius down, saying, "If you try to run away now, you'll be crazy!"

Mobius "..."

At that moment, Mobius truly felt an urge to kill and silence witnesses, and he had two targets...

However, let's deal with the immediate problem first. So Mobius simply coughed lightly and asked in a serious tone, "Ahem, Klein, is there something you need?"

"Doctor ..."

Klein walked straight over...

"Klein, you can stay there, you don't need to come over."

Mobius nearly jumped up in fright and quickly told Klein stop, saying, "Klein, you still have so much work to do. Go back to work now, and I'll come find you later."

"Huh?"

Klein looked at his Doctor with some confusion. Why did the Doctor seem to be talking incoherently today?

Moreover, I remember the last time I interrupted these two from sitting together, the Doctor stood up immediately, but why today...?

Hmm... never mind, I'd better not ask, or I might get silenced!

Klein took out the invitation and said, "Doctor, here is an invitation from headquarters."

"An invitation from headquarters?"

Mobius immediately became serious and asked, "In what aspect?"

"It was just a cocktail party, not an academic seminar."

Klein said quietly, "The time is in a week. The organizer is Councilor Xin, and he used very polite language."

"Councilor Xin..."

Mobius instantly realized something; it was back when Sakura was tricked into coming to Changkong City after returning from the Mu Continent last time...

So, Mobius looked back at Ling Xi speechlessly and smiled, "Ling Xi, this should be considered an old friend of ours, the kind of old friend we've interacted with in the Mu Continent and Changkong City. What are your thoughts?"

"Oh..."

Ling Xi didn't know this "Councilor Xin" at first, but after hearing Mobius's words, she immediately knew who he was. Although they had never met, or even if they had met, they wouldn't recognize each other, but...

Nearly a month ago in the Mu Continent, and more than half a month ago in Changkong City, both he and the Doctor had received attention from the other party.

It seems that my battle in Changkong City had many side effects besides saving Seele and obtaining two Herrscher Core.

After all, there are the Doctor's sponsors, the Doctor's influence, and... some people who now know they regret it and want to apologize.

"I'll listen to the Doctor!"

Ling Xi didn't have many thoughts about this matter. At the time, she really wanted to kill the other party to ensure the safety of the Doctor and herself, but now...

After the battle in Changkong City, it's estimated that for the next few years, at least until the Fused Warrior are created, it's unlikely that anyone will dare to attack Doctor. And once the Fused Warrior appear...

Please, the Fused Warrior project was led by our own Doctor. Moreover, by that time, Mobius and Mei's influence would already be unshakeable. In the end, Mei and the others would become the new leaders, even though there would be practically no one left.

Therefore, in Ling Xi's opinion, there is really no need for her to argue with the other party now. After all, everyone in the Flame-Chasing Moths knows her now, and given her relationship with Mobius, whether it is the current relationship or the future relationship, in everyone's eyes, her actions are representing Mobius's will.

Therefore, if he were to directly kill the other party, public opinion would likely be very unfavorable to his Doctor!

Of course, if Mobius really has this idea, then Ling Xi wouldn't mind making the trip.

"Then I won't go."

Since Ling Xi had already said so, Mobius made his decision decisively and smiled at Klein, "Klein, please refuse for me. Just say... I'm busy with new experiments right now, I'm very busy, and I don't have time."

"Hmm... Yes, Doctor!"

Although Klein was clearly puzzled for a moment, he immediately nodded to show that he understood, after all, he was just an assistant, Dr. Mobius's assistant.

"Ahem, alright, Klein, you can leave now."

Having settled the invitation matter, Mobius promptly urged Klein to leave, prioritizing Klein's safety. After all, if the situation were exposed, Möbius would have no choice but to add another test subject to his list of experiments.

And Klein, such a good tool... cough cough, such a good assistant, I can't bear to part with him.

Therefore, in order to ensure Klein's safety, it's natural to let her know as little as possible.

"Okay, Doctor, I'll go to work now."

Klein had no doubts about this, and turned to leave the laboratory, making sure to close the door behind him.

"Whoosh..."

"Whoosh..."

Both men breathed a sigh of relief as Klein left.

"Hehe, Ling Xi..."

Mobius turned around and looked at Ling Xi with a cold smile. Moreover, it wasn't the look you give your husband; it was... the look of someone looking at a dead person.

I just agreed because I believed this guy's nonsense, and well... good heavens, Klein actually came. Luckily, nothing was exposed, or we would have been doomed together.

"Ahem, Doctor, what you just did..."

Ling Xi coughed lightly, trying to divert Mobius's attention, and asked, "Why refuse? Wouldn't it be better to take this opportunity to repair the relationship and gain more benefits?"

If it were the Ling Xi of the past, she would probably have refused decisively, but... after following Mobius for so long, Ling Xi has learned to consider things from more perspectives. After all, acting impulsively can only bring temporary pleasure, but may not bring much substantial benefit to oneself.

"Ha, because I did it on purpose."

Upon hearing this, Mobius smiled slightly and said, "Do you really think those guys are good people? Or... do they really think we're easy to bully?"

"Huh?"

Ling Xi then remembered that back in Changkong City, Mobius had told her that things would be dealt with gradually after the Honkai was over. At the time, she thought the Doctor was just using that as an excuse to comfort her, but now it seemed...

Things don't seem to be that simple.

Chapter 165: The Doctor with a Disdainful Look but Very Obedient...

"Hehe, Ling Xi, do you think that doing this won't bring more benefits?"

Mobius seemed to see through Ling Xi's thoughts, shaking his head as he said, "Ah, it seems you still don't understand."

As he spoke, Mobius suddenly turned around and looked at Ling Xi with a smile.

"Doctor, don't move..."

Ling Xi quickly hugged Mobius, afraid that she would move around again. This feeling was so prickly... so dangerous. What if the Doctor fell?

"Snort..."

Mobius just rolled his eyes at Ling Xi, then leaned down and said with a smile, "Ling Xi, you must remember that in this world, no matter what kind of friendship it is, it is only temporary. Only interests are supreme. Instead of believing their nonsense and flattery, think about the reasons why they do this, understand?"

"Of course I know why they did that..."

Ling Xi straightened up, facing Mobius's imposing presence, while also feeling somewhat indignant. How could she not know what those guys were thinking!

"Isn't that right?"

Mobius chuckled, "Ling Xi, if we show that we don't want to reconcile this matter and want revenge, then... guess what they'll do?"

"This..."

Ling Xi thought for a moment and said, "It depends on the price. If the price is acceptable, then they should accept it. But if... it's their lives, then they'll probably do something desperate."

"That's right."

Mobius smiled with satisfaction. It seemed this guy hadn't wasted his time following him. He said, "Both of your assumptions are correct. However, because you're with me, the second possibility is almost negligible. After all, besides us, no one knows you no longer possess the power of the Herrscher of the Void, so..."

"They can only choose the former, paying a higher price, until it reaches a price that satisfies us."

With that, Mobius sneered, "After doing so much, you think you can just send me away with a meal? If word gets out, everyone will think we're easy to bully. You think you can just turn around after hitting a tree? You think you can't mess with us and that's why you want to settle things? Dream on!"

Ling Xi "..."

Well, Ling Xi naturally wouldn't argue with this situation. After all, she didn't need to worry about these things; she could just listen to the Doctor.

So Ling Xi just silently watched Mobius. It has to be said that when the Doctor is with her, he is usually quite relaxed and often has a smile on his face. It is really rare to see him so serious and a little angry.

"Is there something on my face?"

Mobius glanced at Ling Xi, wondering why he was staring at him.

"It's nothing, I just feel..."

Ling Xi smiled slightly and said, "An angry Doctor looks pretty cool too."

Mobius "..."

"Um, Doctor, could you at least look disgusted?"

For some reason, seeing Mobius like this ignited Ling Xi's reckless spirit.

"Um?"

Mobius immediately revealed a cold look in his eyes. Is this guy... a pervert?
