276: Elysia's Evil Intentions

"Oh, I didn’t expect to hear such good news after waking up!"

"Since there are so many cute girls here, Lau, you must do more~♪"

Suddenly, a trace of pink light flashed in Bai Mo's eyes, and Elysia returned to consciousness, smiling at the Snow Lotus Squad in front of her.

After all, they were all cute girls!

For a moment, Elysia’s true nature was exposed.

(Bai Mo: (ᗜ ˰ ᗜ))

Oh, women, you can't walk past a woman without noticing her, huh?

She felt a little jealous and curled her lips. But Elysia also noticed this, so she refrained from making any bold moves.

"Senior...this...?"

Ana looked at Bai Mo in confusion, as if she didn’t understand what was happening.

Amy and the others exchanged glances.

Is this what people often refer to as a dual personality?

Seeing the confusion on their faces, Bai Mo decided to let Elysia explain herself.

Elysia saw the chance for a little fun. A sly smile flashed across her delicate face as she put her finger between her lips and playfully said, "Hi~ Nice to meet you, my name is Elysia, and I am... Lau’s second personality♪"

This personality is a girl’s, after all. Being a little mischievous is one of the privileges of a beautiful girl!

"............."

Well, that’s something Ellie would do.

Upon hearing this, Bai Mo was very upset, but she didn’t offer any rebuttal.

If she liked it, so be it. What else could she do?

"Well, that’s the situation."

To cooperate with Elysia’s performance, Bai Mo nodded in acknowledgment.

"Well... okay, nice to meet you, Miss Elysia?"

Although it felt a little strange, Ana still introduced Amy and the others to Elysia.

They quickly became friends, as the charm of the Miss Elf was irresistible to all the girls.

Even with Bai Mo present, the shadows in Amy and the others’ hearts were slightly lifted.

Soon, after a bit of playful interaction, Bai Mo set the aircraft to automatic cruise.

From that point on, the girls were on their way home.

The group laughed and talked in the hall, enjoying a warm atmosphere.

There’s nothing happier than lying on the bed for a nap after a battle. Well, except for maybe a bath.

In the bedroom of the aircraft, Bai Mo lay alone on the bed, turning over and wrapping herself in the quilt.

This wasn’t just for comfort, but to restrict Elysia and prevent her from teasing her.

Bai Mo had plenty of experience with this. Every time Elysia lay in bed, she’d find a way to touch “herself.”

Soon, Bai Mo only had a brief moment of peace before Elysia had some inappropriate thoughts.

"Lau~"

"What’s wrong, Ellie?"

A bad premonition crept up on her, and Bai Mo asked instinctively.

"The quilt is too tight. Let’s loosen it a little~♪"

"What do you think, my good Ellie?"

Knowing the girl had bad intentions, Bai Mo rolled her eyes and said irritably.

She was exhausted and didn’t have the energy to deal with more trouble.

"Well~ I think Lau will definitely agree to my willful little request! Right~♪"

A soft little hand emerged from the quilt and gently pressed against her belly, kneading it lightly.

Huh!

A familiar sensation.

You’ve already started without asking for my opinion! Is my opinion even important to you?

"No, there are people outside, and the soundproofing here isn’t great."

Though her body obediently responded, Bai Mo had learned a lot from Mobius a few days ago!

The hard-to-get approach! She had mastered the true teachings.

And this feeling was quite something. After all, Bai Mo only partially controlled her consciousness and body, so Elysia’s touch felt like someone else was kneading her.

"Who told you to make so much noise every time, Lau? I’m just touching your belly, okay?"

I really want to get your body back so I can be even closer! That way, we can do more things!

Elysia continued her actions, speaking softly.

........................... (10,000 words omitted here.)

Outside the door, Ana who originally wanted to sneak in and return the underwear, stopped when she heard the noises inside. She leaned against the door with a slightly flushed face.

So the senior... she actually uses this method to relieve stress!

What a way!

Covering her mouth, Ana quickly ran away after listening for a while.

About 20 minutes later, Bai Mo—no, it should be said that Elysia—finally walked out of the bedroom.

"Hmm... just a simple massage, and Lau fell asleep. It seems that she was really tired."

Rubbing her sore little hands, Elysia muttered softly.

Then, she entered the control room, checked the route, and seeing no problems, she made her way to the living room.

"Hmm? Ana, your face seems really red. Are you feeling unwell?"

Amy and the others were playing Landlord at a nearby table. Seeing Ana, who was playing with her phone alone, Elysia approached curiously.

"It’s Sister Ellie! I’m fine, really, I just feel a little hot!"

After being startled, Ana, analyzing that it was Elysia, smiled awkwardly as her eyes darted around.

"Really? If it’s hot, you can turn on the air conditioner ♪"

Elysia smiled. She could see through Ana’s obvious panic, even if Ana tried to hide it.

It seemed like she must have heard something while Elysia was massaging Lau earlier.

And... the strange perfume smell on the bedding earlier appears to be very similar to Ana’s scent!

Although Elysia didn’t dislike cute girls, if a competitor suddenly appeared, the Miss Elf would definitely feel distressed...

The girl sighed in frustration.

But soon, Elysia returned to her playful demeanor and started chatting with Ana.

Neither of them mentioned what had happened earlier, and the atmosphere remained harmonious for a while.

...Time passed slowly.

The aircraft continued to soar through the clouds, and by dusk, everyone had arrived at World Serpent safely.

Bai Mo, now awake, led the four members of the Snow Lotus Squad to the Golden Courtyard.

-----

Chapter 277: The Time is Peaceful Now, and the Story is Because of You.

"How do you like it? This will be your home from now on, Ana. You can be free, and no one will ask you to do anything."

In an unused villa, Bai Mo smiled with a hint of pride as he gestured to the furniture inside.

"What a big house!!"

"I'm afraid I couldn’t afford it even if I worked my whole life."

"Be more confident, and get rid of the word 'I'm afraid.'"

............

Following Bai Mo's words, the Snow Lotus Squad was also very pleased with the new residence and expressed their gratitude to him.

Isn't this much better than patrolling and fighting on Coral Island every day?

Thinking about the beautiful life awaiting them, Ana and the others smiled happily.

Of course, this didn't mean they would live without contributing. As long as they could help with tasks big and small for the World Serpent, none of them would refuse.

This was a small agreement they had made with Bai Mo; otherwise, they wouldn't be able to enjoy this peaceful life.

"Then, everyone stay here! Lau and I will join you later~♪"

"Okay, Sister Ellie!" ×4

After settling everyone in, Bai Mo and Elysia hadn’t yet reported back to Mobius. They planned to go to the laboratory first and then visit little Griseo.

............

"Dear Mobius! We’re back~♪"

As soon as they entered the courtyard gate, Elysia called out loudly, making sure Mobius would notice her.

And if you looked closely, you would see Elysia holding a small pink skirt in her hand.

This was something Bai Mo had created for her with her power, at Ellie's request.

"Elysia, you’re not welcome here. Get out!"

Seeing Elysia push open the door and lounge on the sofa as if she were at home, Mobius was furious. Her gaze caught the pink skirt, and her frustration exploded.

It never ends, does it?

Looking at the overflowing wardrobe full of skirts, Mobius felt a headache coming on.

Klein who was standing by, shook her head and left silently.

When the gods fight, mortals suffer.

But really, Bai Mo was something else. Not only did she accept it, but she also allowed Elysia to tease her every time.

"I don’t get it~"

"This little skirt was chosen by Lau after much thought before I bought it. You wouldn’t dislike it, would you, Mobius?"

Elysia smiled, unfazed by Mobius’s irritation, and slyly stuffed the little skirt into the sofa cushions.

??!

This was fake marketing! A mass-produced item that barely took three seconds to create.

Bai Mo muttered, though she didn’t intend to expose her. She just hoped Mobius wouldn’t get too upset.

Tsk!

Suppressing her frustration, Mobius resisted the urge to tie Elysia to the operating table and turned away in annoyance.

Out of sight, out of mind.

"So, the others are back?"

After a long pause, Mobius finally asked casually.

"Yes, that’s why I’m here—to tell you everyone is safe."

Hearing this, Bai Mo smiled, then walked over to Mobius and began massaging her shoulders.

The moderate pressure and skilled technique seemed to ease away the fatigue from the past few days.

It had been a while since Mobius felt so relaxed. She sighed in comfort.

"Who... who asked you to report this...?" Mobius mumbled, but she didn’t push her away. "Fine, if you’re done, just leave. Don’t disturb me while I’m working."

Of course, Mobius needed to put on a tough front, especially in front of Elysia, not wanting her to see how much she enjoyed the attention.

See? She enjoyed it for a while and then started trying to push her away.

A woman who says one thing and means another! Use her, then abandon her!

Bai Mo was clearly upset by this.

"Okay, I’ll bring you food in the evening. Don’t eat instant noodles~♪"

"Why don’t you learn anything else, but you sure know how to talk like that pink fat woman? Fine, fine, just go."

Mobius waved her hand in disdain.

"Mobius, you can’t talk about girls like that! Or I’ll get upset!"

Bang!

The next moment, just as Elysia finished speaking, Mobius retreated to her room and shut the door, as if she no longer wished to acknowledge her.

"Okay, okay, that’s just how Snake is. She’s so stubborn. Let’s go home and see little Griseo."

Ah, the happy enemies—just like this. Bai Mo shook her head and hurriedly comforted her, worried Elysia might impulsively rush to Mobius’s room with her skirt.

"Well then, Lau, give me a hug."

"......."

Are you trying to embarrass me, Fat Woman? What kind of move is it to ask for a hug from yourself?

In the end, Elysia’s request was left unfulfilled, and it would have to wait until she had a body.

.........................................

The two walked together along the path at dusk. The sun set, casting the girl’s shadow long on the ground.

The breeze gently lifted the girl’s white hair, creating a scene as if it were the most beautiful painting in the world, and in this moment, time seemed to stand still.

"Elysia."

Bai Mo kicked a small stone in front of her and called Elysia’s name slowly, as if pondering something.

"Hmm? What’s wrong, Lau? If you just wanted to call me, Ellieshiya is always ready to meet your expectations~♪"

"It’s nothing, just sighing. Your name is a little hard to write, Ellie."

Knowing the girl’s feelings for her, Bai Mo smiled lightly, then said something Elysia hadn’t expected.

"Why do you say that? Is it because my name is so important to Lau that you’re reluctant to write it~♪"

"Or... Lau just wants to keep me in his heart~♪"

As she spoke, Elysia placed a hand on her chest and smiled sweetly.

"A bit of everything. Would you like to hear my answer, Ellie?"

"Okay."

Elysia said expectantly.

Bai Mo took a deep breath, gathered her emotions, and twirled a strand of hair around his finger. Smiling faintly, he looked at the setting sun before glancing up at the moon beginning to rise in the sky.

The image of the girl appeared in his mind, and Bai Mo slowly said: "The name Elysia isn’t complicated to write, but when you do, you have to dip the pen in four parts of sunset, three parts of moonlight, two parts of tipsy, and..."

It seemed to confirm the saying—all the beauty in the world is closely related to you.

She moved her fingers lightly, as though to engrave her name forever in her heart. But then, she paused slightly, as if waiting to see if Elysia would understand.

"What else~♪"

But the girl appeared unaware, urging her to say the final answer.

As if she’d known she would say this, Bai Mo gently took her left hand, ready to finalize her answer.

But before she did, a little embellishment was needed.

Snap!

With a snap of her fingers, cherry blossoms suddenly floated in the air.

The wind picked up, and Bai Mo’s voice filled the air: "And Ellie, you are so beautiful!"

This was the finishing touch.

After his words, time seemed to freeze at that moment, and Elysia’s response took a while to come.

"Lau."

After a long pause, her voice finally echoed in his heart.

"Hmm? I’m here~♪"

"Do you like the feeling of stepping on fallen leaves or fresh snow?"

"Yes, how about you, Ellie?"

"Me too, but compared to those, in this world, I actually like..."

"Who is it?"

"You."

The simplest words, but the sweetest candy in the world.

----

Chapter 278: Our Country Has a Complete Set of Criminal Laws

The morning glow reflected off the girl's happy smile, as bright as a rose, and the slightly raised corners of her mouth were full of joy.

Although it was an expected answer, it was also a rare treasure for the girl.

"Ellie, let's go home~♪"

"Yes!"

Under the setting sun, the girl was alone, but she was not lonely at all.

Because she had a beautiful woman to accompany her, hiding in her heart and protecting her by her side.

....................................................................

After walking for twenty minutes, the girls returned to their home.

When they reached the courtyard and were about to open the door, they suddenly heard a burst of hurried footsteps from inside.

"It seems that little Griseo has discovered us." Seeing this, Bai Mo smiled slightly.

"This is what people often call telepathy~♪"

Shifting her gaze to the door, Elysia was already ready to welcome her.

She heard the footsteps growing closer and closer. Soon, the locked door opened just a crack, and a cute little head poked out.

"Sister Aslaug!"

A smile flashed across the girl's surprised face. After seeing that it was Bai Mo, Griseo threw herself into her arms.

The feeling of missing her burst out at that moment. Griseo clung tightly to Bai Mo's arms and didn't want to let go for a long time.

A faint milky fragrance wafted to her nose. Feeling the softness in her arms, Bai Mo's heart couldn't help but warm.

"Hmm..."

At the same time, Griseo also enjoyed the smell of Bai Mo very much because it gave her a very reassuring feeling.

"Hmm, little Griseo, do you miss your sister? Ellie and I miss little Griseo very much."

"Yes, I haven't seen you for a few days. Do you miss your sister Elysia~♪"

Bai Mo squatted down and touched Griseo's little head with a smile.

Hearing this, the girl rubbed her little face in Bai Mo's arms and then said happily, "I miss you very much."

It had been several days since they last met, and they wanted to stick together when they met again.

Bai Mo took off her shoes and walked into the house after picking up Griseo.

Sure enough, no place is better than your own little nest.

Griseo had been very obedient at home these days, and the house was in excellent condition.

Since Sakura and Rin came back from their trip two days ago, Griseo usually went to play with Rin during the day and returned home to sleep at night.

Occasionally, Griseo would stay at Sakura's house, which was very worry-free.

After learning this, Bai Mo quickly sent a few messages to Sakura, asking about how the two of them were enjoying the amusement park.

After finishing the chat, Bai Mo looked at other messages on her phone.

Kevin asked about the recent training schedule, and Vill-V sent a delivery reminder, indicating that the Moon Dark Sword had been repaired.

Eden also sent a sample picture of the new clothes she had made for her.

Ah! Are there so many things~

Getting Ankuken Kurayami isn't urgent at the moment. What is relatively important is Kevin's training and the gift for Sister Eden.

She scratched her hair in distress, tapped her fingers lightly on the keyboard, and deleted the text that had appeared again and again.

During this time, she didn’t forget to hug little Griseo to replenish her elemental power. Only in this way could she feel that she was still Ellieve.

The two little faces pressed tightly together and rubbed against each other.

......

Baji.

Just when Bai Mo was still thinking about how to reply to the message, Griseo suddenly turned her head, and her cherry-red lips were printed on her face.

Afterward, Griseo quickly straightened her head, her face flushed, and her eyes tightly closed.

(˃ ⌑ ˂ഃ)

Griseo didn’t know what was wrong with her. She could control herself normally, but this time, she had an inexplicable impulse that prompted her to do something she wanted to do but didn’t dare to do.

Alas!!!

(✧∇✧)

Suddenly, she felt a chill on her face, with a little sEllieva, and Bai Mo was shocked.

Elysia was also stunned when she saw this, but she recovered quickly.

She didn’t expect little Griseo to be unexpectedly bold!

"Little Griseo?"

After recovering from her shock, although Bai Mo looked very confused, she was also very excited and surprised at the moment.

Are Elysia's colors really that powerful!

Little Griseo is so easily influenced!!

If you say that Elysia wasn’t involved in Griseo kissing her, I wouldn’t believe it.

What kind of body is this? Isn't this teaching children bad things?

But please, do more of this kind of thing!!!

Ahem... I see that Ling and Sakura are usually like this. Doesn't Griseo like it?

Still a little shy about her actions just now, Griseo asked carefully, fearing that Bai Mo would be unhappy because of it.

"Of course, Lau likes it very much. Little Griseo, don’t look at her calm face now. In fact, Lau is very happy in her heart."

Elysia's playful voice came and directly exposed Bai Mo's past.

Damn it! At least save some face! Why do you say I'm like a pervert!

In response, Bai Mo could only secretly complain in her heart.

"Is that so... Sister Aslaug?"

After hearing what Elysia said, Gray raised her head, staring at Bai Mo with her big, watery eyes.

Hmm! So cute!

"Ah...ah! Yes! Ellie is right, I was just a little scared just now, I don’t hate it when Little Griseo does this~♪"

After saying that, as if to prove that what she said was true, Bai Mo also imitated Gray's action just now and gave her a return gift.

Mua~

Gray's little face~soft and fragrant!

Punishment! Too much punishment! These days are getting more and more unpredictable!

While Bai Mo sighed, she didn’t forget to rub Gray's little head.

"Hmm..."

Letting Bai Mo do it, Gray squinted her eyes and enjoyed it.

Kacha~

And Elysia was not idle at this time. She gently picked up her phone with her left hand and took a picture of this warm scene.

Hmm!

Miss Elf said she was very happy to take advantage of this opportunity and record such a beautiful moment.

It's decided! I will upload the photos to the Golden Courtyard later to make everyone envious!

----

Chapter 279: Whose Child Is 50,000 Years Old!

A bright moon rose, and the night gradually deepened.

As the agreed time approached, Bai Mo hurriedly took the ingredients from the kitchen and then went out with little Griseo.

Soon, the two of them arrived at the residence of the Snow Lotus Squad.

After opening the door, Ana greeted them warmly. When she saw little Griseo following behind Bai Mo silently, the cute look nearly melted her heart.

In comparison, Amy and the others were no better. Almost as soon as they entered, several people surrounded them like close sisters, showering Griseo with kindness.

This kind of attention was easy for Griseo to handle, as she had already grown accustomed to Bai Mo’s presence.

"Look at me, I’ve been talking for so long and still don’t know your name. Can you tell me your name, kid?"

The group spread a blanket and sat on the ground. At this moment, Ana seemed to suddenly remember something, knocked her head, and said apologetically.

"My name is Ana Shaniat, and next to me are Amy, Pete, and Jones."

The three people whose names were called nodded immediately.

"Well... my name is Griseo."

After recalling the names of the four, Griseo slowly introduced herself.

"Griseo? That's a nice name!"

........

In the distance, Bai Mo, who was picking vegetables in the kitchen and battling wits with Elysia, couldn’t help but smile at the scene.

Fortunately, the people in the Snow Lotus Squad were all good-natured, so she didn’t have to worry about little Griseo being exposed to any negativity.

Outside, several people continued to ask Griseo various questions. Whether out of curiosity or concern, Griseo almost answered them all.

After all, children of her age should still be in school. They didn’t fully understand why they were in such a dangerous place like the World Serpent, where they were exposed to Honkai energy everywhere.

The danger was clear, but they were too embarrassed to express their worries, so they asked questions to learn more.

"By the way, does little Griseo have any hobbies?"

Resisting her curiosity, Amy asked.

"I like painting. I like Sister Aslaug, Sister Elysia, Kos..."

When it came to this, little Griseo's eyes lit up, and she immediately pointed out one by one.

According to her, while painting was her primary hobby, there were always a few people who shared the same level of importance. After all, this topic wasn’t just a hobby for girls.

Besides, she didn’t dislike anyone in the Fire Moth Chaser.

"Hey, hey, hey! We're talking about hobbies, not people you like..."

Seeing things starting to go off track, Ana hurriedly called a halt and quickly grabbed an orange from the table, handing it to Griseo.

"..."×3

Feeling quite helpless, the three of them gave Ana a look that seemed to say, "Look at the kind of question you’re asking."

Can you blame me for this? If you have the guts, come and ask her!

Tsk, I’ll do it!

Several people exchanged glances, and finally, Pete volunteered to try.

"Let’s change the question. Little Griseo, do you often live here with your sister Aslaug?"

"Yes, sister Aslaug is my guardian, and this is our home."

For Griseo, the concept of home was about the people, not a specific residence.

After hearing Griseo’s answer, especially the word "guardian," everyone was obviously stunned.

After all, with Bai Mo’s youthful appearance, if she were to be Griseo’s guardian, she would have to be a distant relative, or perhaps Griseo had been adopted by her.

No matter which option it was, they were still deeply touched.

"How old is little Griseo this year?"

After a while, recovering from the shock, Pete continued to ask.

"Well... I can't remember clearly."

The girl shook her head decisively in response. Due to the different flow of time in the Elysian Realm and the real world, Griseo had never calculated her exact age.

The number was too large for her to remember down to a single digit, so she only knew an approximate range.

"Can’t remember clearly?"

Now everyone was even more confused. Except for very young children, no one should forget their age.

Uh... The senior is really a guardian...

Ana scratched her head awkwardly.

"But there are at least more than 50,000."

The girl continued, and seeing the puzzled expressions on the faces of the others, Griseo finally gave a conservative estimate.

"What! At least?"

"Fifty thousand years?"

"Is there still more?"

Child, we can’t joke like this.

Do you think your sisters are fools?

The three of them exchanged looks, all with awkward smiles.

Oh, forget it, if they were serious with the children, they’d really lose.

It was just a joke, and everyone was not overly concerned after the initial surprise.

"What’s wrong?"

At that moment, Bai Mo, who had just finished cooking, came out of the kitchen and removed her apron. She looked at the strange expressions on the faces of the three people in the living room and asked curiously.

"Um... It’s nothing. By the way, senior, how old is little Griseo this year?"

Ana asked tentatively in a low voice. The three of them turned their heads to look at Bai Mo, clearly quite concerned about this question.

"Hey? Is that the question... Did little Griseo tell you?"

Bai Mo didn’t respond directly, but Elysia glanced at little Griseo as if asking something.

Then she saw little Griseo nod.

"........."

Now, the two were completely silent.

With little Griseo’s character, she definitely wouldn’t lie. So... if that’s the case, aren’t they afraid of scaring these "children"?

"Senior, you really don’t know? Little Griseo just said that she’s at least 50,000 years old!"

"........."

"Senior, what’s that expression on your face? It can’t be that what little Griseo said is true..."

As soon as Ana finished speaking, she regretted it.

She must be crazy! She actually had such an idea. No matter how you think about it, a person can’t live for more than 50,000 years...

Calm down.

Maybe Senior will also think this is impossible! Yes! That must be it! Otherwise, why wouldn’t she say anything!

Ana, who thought she had discovered the truth, was still celebrating, but the next second, Bai Mo’s words left her completely dumbfounded.

Of course, Amy and the others were also involved.

"Well, but Ana."

Bai Mo patted the girl’s shoulder with a serious look.

"Hmm?"

"That is... Is it possible that little Griseo didn’t lie to you?"

"........."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere became tense.

----

Chapter 280 Look! There's a dog there!

Absurd! This is ridiculous!

Fifty thousand years old?! How is this possible! Let's not talk about whether humans can live that long.

Just based on appearance, this is a child in her teens!

Griseo has a childishness that belongs to children. Ana will never be wrong about this.

But the senior's serious look doesn't seem to be lying. For a moment, not only Ana herself, but also Amy and the other two are dazed, as if they are dreaming.

"Jones, pinch me."

"No need... I've pinched it, it hurts, right, Pate?"

As he said, Jones glanced to the side, the girl's arm, the white skin is now red.

"Die! Can't you pinch yourself!"

Unwilling to accept the fact, several people sat on the ground in a stalemate, while Bai Mo looked at them with interest, and the happy smile on her face never stopped.

During this time, little Griseo stood up and came to Bai Mo's side and held her hand.

"Okay, okay, Little Griseo didn't lie to you, but her problem is more complicated, so don't think about it, just go wash your hands and prepare to eat."

You have to do it yourself, so what, are you stupid?

You were still calling others children the previous second, and you might have to lie on the ground to apologize the next second~

If you continue like this, you might not be able to eat.

Bai Mo also hurriedly spoke up and broke the silence of several people.

Hearing this, several people stood up tremblingly, as if they had lost their souls, like zombies, washed their hands, and then sat back quietly.

Soon, after Bai Mo served the dishes, everyone started to use their chopsticks.

Of course, according to the agreement, Bai Mo still opened an Imaginary Portal and placed several meals prepared separately in the living room of Mobius's house.

After all, it was prepared by Bai Mo, so everyone in the Snow Lotus Squad enjoyed the meal very much, and they didn't bother about the age of Griseo anymore.

Anyway, as long as they think Griseo is a child, it's fine.

At the dinner table, several people also added vegetables and meat to Griseo's bowl, one by one, as if their motherly love was overflowing, which made Bai Mo's eyelids jump.

Are all the Valkyries from your headquarters like this? ? ?

Anyway, Bai Mo couldn't understand it.

...................................

At the dinner table, in addition to Amy and others frantically adding dishes to Griseo, a very magical phenomenon occurred.

That is, Bai Mo and Elysia's left and right hands competed with each other, one hand with a chopstick, and the "two people" ate their own, but Bai Mo had only one mouth, and she and Elysia had to queue up to eat, eating this and then that, and their mouths were stuffed full.

This bad Ellie! Do you really want to make my belly big! You even pick fat meat to eat!

You feel that it's not your own body, so you just try to make use of me, right?

I just confessed to her, but the next second you want to inject the elements of Ellie into my body.

Tsk... Stay away Temptress, stay away.

"I can't eat anymore, Ellie..."

Looking at the fat meat that has been stuffed into her mouth, although the outer layer is wrapped by a piece of vegetable leaf, she can still see the fat overflowing from it.

With goose bumps all over her body, Bai Mo muttered resentfully.

"Hmm... The last piece! Lau will definitely listen to me, right?"

Miss Elf is wronged.JPG

Recalling the days when she had to weigh the electronic scale and delete the record every time she ate high-calorie food in the morning.

Now she finally shares a body with Lau, not afraid of gaining weight, and can still eat what she likes, Elysia is naturally unwilling to miss this opportunity.

After all, you have to know that this leisurely life is about to end!

However....my own body data appears to be able to make Lau a little thinner!

Yes, yes, yes! This is possible! We can have a good exchange in the evening!

Miss Elf thought so, and her heart was already full of joy.

After all, every time Mobius saw her again, she would say something like "Elysia, you are fat again."

This made the lovely girl very troubled!

The voice that originally seemed like the sound of nature was like the whisper of the devil at this moment. Bai Mo knew that this was her last bottom line and she must not be easily broken, so she shook her head decisively, forcibly took back the control of her body, and then put the fat in the bowl.

Absolutely! She would not even look at it again!

"Okay, okay, no more, let's eat more vegetables."

"Hmph..."

Seeing that Bai Mo had her own little emotions, Elysia also hurried to comfort him.

Griseo in her arms moved restlessly, and looking at Bai Mo's gradually growing belly, the girl reached her hand in for some reason.

Warm and soft, it would be nice if I could sleep on it... the girl thought so.

The soft little hands kept stroking her belly, and while thinking about it, she was also relieving Bai Mo's stress.

Bai Mo didn't stop her, after all, she also enjoyed Griseo's service.

Others want it but don't have it! Humph~

The loving appearance of the three people was watched by everyone at the table, and their faces were burning, as if they were full as soon as they started eating.

Are they sure they are not a family? ? ?

This is like a life of an old married couple raising a child after marriage, this is simply it!

Ana can attest to this, because since she caught the "playing" between the two this afternoon, she has had a second opinion on this so-called dual personality.

Isn't this just a portable a wife! ! !

(Seele: You know too much!)

(Bronya: I have won too much.)

Just eat! What's the big deal about feeding others dog food!

At this moment, Ana felt like a dog who could be kicked for no reason when walking on the road.

"Come on, Pete, open your mouth, sister will feed you~"

"Ah~"

They were not willing to be outdone, Jones and Pete cooperated one after another, and would rather die than be the one standing alone.

Their eyes were full of provocation, looking at Ana as if to say, "Look, there's a dog!"

Seeing this, Amy glared back, and the two of them were a little more obedient.

She originally didn't want to participate, but then she thought that this seemed to be a good opportunity to tease Ana, so the girl, who had figured out something, raised her mouth with ill intentions, and then glanced at Ana with a hint of meaning.

----

Chapter 281: The Heavenly Dao Honkais, I, Only Have One Sword! I Can Move Mountains...

"Little Ana~"

"Amy, what are you doing?! I... I warn you not to mess around!"

The latter was sweating coldly when she was looked at. Facing the aggressive Amy, Ana shook her head decisively.

Her senior is still here, so she has to be a little reserved; otherwise, it will be bad if she misunderstood!

Tsk.....

Seeing Ana's reluctance, Amy did not force her anymore. After silently saying "it's a pity," she had to eat by herself.

So, in such a warm atmosphere, everyone ate for a full hour before the meal was over.

After cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Bai Mo also said goodbye to everyone and prepared to leave.

In front of the gate of the courtyard, looking at the few people who had come out to see her off, Bai Mo's mouth corners slightly raised, and she also chattered a few words intimately.

"Okay, it's getting late now. Ellie and I will take little Griseo back first."

"I'll come again if I'm free some other day, and I'll introduce you to some friends then."

"In short, I wish you all a good time in World Serpent, but if you go far away, you still have to hide your identity and don't let Tianming find out."

"Don't worry, senior, we understand! We will never cause you any trouble!"

"Yes, we can just shop online!"

Hearing this, several people nodded, smiles on their faces.

After a meal, they also had a new understanding of Bai Mo, and the previous shadows had long been dispelled.

Seeing this, Bai Mo nodded with relief. Without too many words, and immediately took Griseo's little hand and left.

After all, there will be many opportunities to meet in the future.

...........................

The next morning.

Bai Mo, who had agreed to start training today last night, arrived at the training ground early, where Kevin had been waiting for a long time.

Without too much talk, the two of them quickly became enthusiastic friends.

Yes, really! They became friends!

In the training ground, two white figures holding weapons kept fighting, even turning into afterimages in the air, constantly colliding!

Without relying too much on the power of the Herrscher, Bai Mo appears to be using her own skills to fight Kevin.

Including the fighting techniques of the previous era that Kevin had given her, she was also constantly using the gaps in the battle to integrate this skill.

The two kept moving in the field, and almost all the places they passed were sword marks and ice.

Like a meteor falling to the ground, the impact of the two people's battle also affected the entire training ground.

Presumably, after the two finished this battle, this training ground should also announce its early retirement.

"Compared to before, you have improved a lot. You've learned Taixu and Setsuna swordsmanship very well, but you're not strong enough."

Kevin turned his body to avoid Bai Mo's sharp sword. While fighting, he did not forget to point out Bai Mo's shortcomings.

Attaching ice to his fists, Kevin punched out, as if proving Bai Mo's weakness in swordsmanship with his actions. He used almost all his strength in this punch.

Bang!

Although the punch hadn't arrived, Bai Mo had already felt a strong sense of crisis from it.

If she didn’t dodge, she would definitely be temporarily incapacitated by this punch!

With this thought in her mind, Bai Mo immediately gathered the Honkai energy on her fingertips and swung it forward!

After her Blade Mantra cleared, Bai Mo, who had already entered the threshold of intention, was no longer bound by any form. She could activate the Taixuan ki with just intention.

All things in the world—every flower, grass, and tree, including herself—are sharp swords.

"Inch Blade! Crescent Moon!"

As the voice fell, a crescent-shaped sword energy condensed out of thin air, then rushed forward to meet Kevin's almost full-strength attack.

Bang!

The fierce fist wind wrapped in ice seemed to solidify into substance.

At the moment when the two collided, Bai Mo's sword shape was destroyed, but in contrast, Kevin's fist, made of solid ice, also had a large crack.

"Inch Slash! Windshaker!"

Bai Mo never expected to resolve the crisis with one strike, so after seeing that her attack was effective, she also took advantage of the victory and pursued it. The whole person jumped out of thin air, her fingertips forward, condensing the purest sword intent.

At this moment, she was like a sharp sword, merging between heaven and earth, without any flaws. A sword tip appeared at the end of her finger, flashing with cold light, and rushed up with unparalleled power.

Crack!

The two figures collided, and the sharp sword energy finally pierced the ice, cutting it into countless pieces from the inside, then dissipating in the air.

This attack was successful, and the raging sword energy left a small scar on Kevin's hand, but the impact of the punch still acted on Bai Mo's body, causing her to retreat more than ten meters before she stopped.

"How about this move? It's okay... Damn!"

"Not bad, come again."

Just as Bai Mo wanted to be proud, but before she could finish her words, Kevin rushed up again.

Compared to the previous time, Kevin's speed was faster this time. Bai Mo had no time to react and could only instinctively swing the sword forward to try to interfere.

Damn... It's not a real fight, is it necessary to be so serious?!?!

The sound of ding-dong echoed around.

"Inch Strike! Sky Splitter!"

Bai Mo had reason to suspect that Kevin was taking revenge for a personal grudge.

She just order a few boxes of beautiful girl-flavored instant noodles for him online?!

Could it be that you still want Mei... Ah, no, Sister Mei's juice??

You know, even Kiana wants to eat this kind of instant noodles, but there is no way to buy them!!!

I can share them so selflessly, which shows my sincerity!

It's okay that you don't appreciate it, but you actually do something dirty!

"Inch Force! Rockslide!"

Gritting her teeth, she swung another sword.

Looking at Kevin's fist close at hand, Bai Mo passively defended and silently recited the sword guarding technique, but she was still hit by a punch, making her arm numb.

One punch after another, one sword after another, gradually, Bai Mo went from passively taking the beating to gradually finding her rhythm and began to analyze Kevin's punches to defend and counterattack.

Bai Mo's growth was seen by Kevin, and her talent also made him dumbfounded.

[Setsuna - Setsuna Flutter!]

Seizing the opportunity when Kevin turned around while punching, Bai Mo summoned Seven Thunders of Retribution, leaned down, and slashed directly with a knife!

Got it!

Bai Mo was secretly delighted!

From the beginning until now, this was the first flaw Kevin had revealed in ten minutes. She was confident that she could use this knife to break Kevin's defense.

Ding!

From the moment the knife was slashed, it had already reached Kevin's chest in a turn.

Kevin saw a hint of Sakura's shadow from it. Although it wasn't perfect, this sudden attack also made him unable to react. He immediately took it hard, and a deeper blood mark appeared, but the blood that flowed out quickly froze, and the wound healed swiftly.

The power of the ICHOR factor!

------

Chapter 282: Kevin: It Doesn’t Hurt to Try

This recovery ability is truly abnormal—almost as powerful as the force of creation.

Bai Mo couldn’t help but frown as she watched the wound on Kevin's chest heal so quickly. She thought to herself.

But she didn’t give up because of this. Even water drops can wear away stones. Could she not be as strong as a slap from Prometheus No. 17?

The so-called power of language? “You should at least shed a tear for her,” Bai Mo thought, but didn’t agree with that idea.

The two continued their fight, clashing swords, fists, and feet. The battlefield was covered in ice and sword marks, and the temperature around them dropped several degrees.

The noise of the battle attracted many spectators, including Pardo. She had been napping nearby in the sun but was immediately awakened by the sounds of the fight.

Meanwhile, Eden and Kosma also arrived and, upon seeing the two fighting, Pardo hurried over to find a good spot to watch.

With her furry tail swishing, Pardo sat beside Eden, holding a gem she had picked up at some point. It was red and shiny—definitely something that would catch attention in a store.

Pardo was thrilled to watch the fight for free and pick up some goods at the same time. Her good luck was always working.

A beautiful day started with Sister Eden!

As for Kosma, nothing on him seemed to catch Pardo's attention except for a harmonica.

"Speaking of Sister Eden, Amo, who do you think will win the competition between Lau and Boss Kevin?"

Finding a suitable angle facing the sun, Pardo slowly lay down and spoke to the others.

"In terms of strength, Kevin is definitely stronger, but Lau has been improving, right?"

Eden didn’t directly say it, but the implication was clear—Bai Mo would lose. After all, this was reality. The gap between the two was too wide to compare.

As for the gem Pardo had just taken, it was actually placed there by Eden on purpose. She knew Pardo would take it when they met. It made Pardo happy, and Eden cared more about making those around her happy than about any material wealth.

"Kevin," Kosma said shortly.

(At this age, she has such strength. If this were in the previous era, I would probably not be her match.)

Kosma didn’t say much, but his thoughts were clear. He was constantly impressed by Bai Mo’s amazing talent.

"Hehe, as expected, compared to Kevin, I still hope Lau can win."

Unfazed, Pardo spoke casually.

After all, what bad intentions could a cat have? The cat just hoped the person she liked wouldn’t get hurt.

After all, her current life was thanks to Lau, so it was only natural to feel a little biased.

Yeah! It must be normal!

"Lau must do her best! I’ll share some of my good luck with you!"

Pardo silently wished in her heart.

Eden saw everything and smiled but said nothing.

On the Training Ground

Bai Mo’s left hand wielded the sword, pointing it at the air.

She flowed through 21 sword stances—shapes, guards, transformations—all executed with ease. Meanwhile, her right hand unleashed the Seven Thunders, and the sword technique of [Moment] was also frequently used. She moved back and forth with Kevin, making it difficult to tell who was winning.

From the beginning, facing Bai Mo in this state, Kevin had to be serious.

However, the fact that he was forced to take her seriously already meant Bai Mo had won in a sense. After all, Kevin had been using the power of a MANTIS from the start.

Although it wasn’t a succubus... ahem, a Devil, it was still somewhat of a cheat.

But in the end, Bai Mo was curious to see Kevin’s demon form—it was just so handsome!

On the other hand, facing Kevin in Karma Devil form, she would have to use all her strength, even tapping into the power of the end.

After all, she wasn’t like Theresa, who could output without hesitation due to her stigmata.

Thinking of this, Bai Mo felt an urge to use her power, but quickly suppressed it.

Her identity was too sensitive, and there was no need to reveal it for something as small as this.

Using the power of the Finality would make her aura nearly indistinguishable from that of the Herrscher of the Finality. Her clothes and appearance would change accordingly, and that was uncontrollable—she couldn’t suppress it like when using other powers.

But one thing Bai Mo was sure of was that since she absorbed the Desire Gem, her control over the power of the Finality had grown stronger.

Unlike before, when she could only speed up time, she now had the ability to reverse time for short bursts, though she hadn’t had the opportunity to test how far back time could go or how long it would last.

As for when to reveal this to the other Flamechasers… well, she’d have to find the right moment. It didn’t seem fun to disclose it now.

Although she wanted to see everyone’s reaction, she had to be cautious around Mobius, as she felt that the bad snake might have already suspected something.

"You don’t seem to be in great shape. Are you worried about something?" Kevin asked.

During the fight, he noticed that Bai Mo was often distracted, and the sword she was about to draw slowly came to a halt.

At this point, the trial was over. He had seen enough of Bai Mo’s growth.

Continuing the fight would serve no purpose.

"It’s nothing. I was just thinking about whether I should use that power. You should understand."

Seeing this, Bai Mo also stopped, raised her hands, shook her head, and smiled helplessly.

"Really... if you want to try it, go ahead."

Kevin understood what Bai Mo meant. After saying that, he was about to condense the ice sword again, but Bai Mo stopped him.

"No, no, let’s forget it for now. Everyone is watching from the sidelines. I don’t think it’s a good idea."

Bai Mo smiled bitterly and pointed to Eden and the others in the distance.

"???"

"That’s right. Except for Ellie, no one knows yet. Kevin, you have to keep this secret for me."

Seeing the confusion on Kevin’s face, Bai Mo leaned in and explained quietly.

"......"

"Okay... but I think they’ll find out sooner or later."

"Then we’ll tell them when the time comes. Anyway, I don’t plan to keep it a secret forever."

-----

Chapter 283 Bai Mo: Kevin, you ******

Bai Mo placed her hands behind her head looking ready to go.

Kevin didn’t say anything when he saw this. Instead, he silently turned around and looked at Eden and the others who were rushing toward them from a distance.

"Boss Kevin! Lau!"

Pardo waved her hands happily and sprinted toward them.

"Ouch...be careful, what if you bump into something and fall?"

Opening her arms to hug the lively and cute cat, Bai Mo rubbed her head hard before speaking with a hint of reproach.

"Hehe..."

After all, the training ground wasn’t in the best condition—almost all of it was bumpy terrain.

"Don’t worry, Lau. I still have confidence in my good luck!"

Pardo smiled foolishly at this and quickly broke free from Bai Mo’s embrace to smooth her messy hair.

"Good morning, Lau."

By this time, Eden had also arrived. She was wearing a red dress, exuding an elegant aura from the inside out. After glancing at Kevin, she greeted Bai Mo.

"Good morning, Sister Eden. And Kosma, why are you all here? Did Kevin and I make too much noise and disturb everyone’s rest?"

Bai Mo scratched her head apologetically. During their fight, the noise had been pretty loud, and the open space made the sound echo.

But she couldn’t really blame herself for that—it was Gray Serpent’s fault for moving the training ground here!

"No, we were just passing by and happened to see you, so we decided to watch for a while."

Though Eden’s voice was a little lazy, it always had a warm, inviting quality. Especially when she smiled, she could effortlessly make those around her feel comfortable.

After taking a sip from her wine glass, Eden set it down immediately. Nearby, Pardo nodded enthusiastically after hearing Eden's explanation, not mentioning that she had been woken from her nap.

After all, it wasn’t a big deal. If she hadn’t been woken up, she wouldn’t have gotten the shiny ruby.

So, in a way, Bai Mo was also Pardo’s lucky star.

The three of them chatted for a while, leaving Kevin and Kosma standing silently. Both were quiet, unsure of what to say.

"..."

(Why isn’t Kevin speaking? Does he not want to talk? Never mind, if I suddenly speak up, it might be awkward. I’ll just leave it at this...)

"Morning."

Finally, Kevin broke the silence with a casual greeting. Kosma nodded at this, his mouth opening slightly before he closed it again for some unknown reason.

Hiss... No, it’s too cold here. It feels like the air conditioner’s on in sub-zero weather.

Bai Mo looked over at the two, almost shivering from the chill, even though she was over ten meters away.

What is this, a topic devourer and humanoid air conditioner?

Please, someone take these two away!

Just as Bai Mo was thinking this, Kevin suddenly looked at her and walked over.

Bai Mo was confused. Could Kevin have something else on his mind?

Anyway, it couldn’t be that he overheard her bad-mouthing him and came to retEllieate... That shouldn’t be the case, considering Kevin doesn’t seem to be particularly good at mind games.

Thinking that, Bai Mo subconsciously hugged Eden’s arm.

"What’s wrong, Lau?"

Eden looked over in confusion. She didn’t mind Bai Mo’s behavior but found it a bit sudden.

Seeing this, Bai Mo smiled awkwardly and explained, "Sister Eden, let me lean on you for a moment. It’s a little cold."

Upon hearing this, Eden didn’t say anything, simply nodding as she looked at Kevin, who was approaching.

Such a simple lie wouldn’t fool her, after all.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Bai Mo felt something soft press against her back, almost as if someone had hit her with a ball. She looked back to see that it was Pardo, who had pressed her body against her.

"I’m still warm. If you’re cold, just hug me!"

Before Bai Mo could respond, Pardo continued to explain, a smile like the warm sun on her face.

"Thank you, Pardo~"

"It’s okay. I’ve just been in the sun, so I’m warm."

Bai Mo’s mouth unconsciously curled into a smile. Who could refuse the warmth of a girl?

After all, she couldn’t—especially now that she was in Ellie’s shape.

At that moment, Kevin walked up to the three of them and looked at Bai Mo, who was hiding behind Eden.

He spoke slowly, under the puzzled gazes of the others, "Let’s put the future training on hold for now. Also, I’ll keep that matter a secret for you."

Bai Mo: "..."

Eden: "..."

Pardo: "..."

The world felt like it stopped for a moment.

Bai Mo was speechless, while Eden and Pardo were left confused.

After all, they had kept secrets for others before—was it really okay for Kevin to openly mention it like this?

Or was it that Lau and Kevin were having some sort of conflict?

It looked like there was a big scoop here!

Both of them turned to look at Bai Mo, who was on the verge of collapsing.

The mood had shifted dramatically—everything was broken!

And Kevin? He was completely unconcerned, walking off while everyone else stood in stunned silence.

I !

Bai Mo could somewhat understand his earlier words, but what did he mean by that last sentence?!

You thick-browed, big-eyed Kevin!!! You seem to have a serious problem, don’t you?

You should’ve kept it quiet, not blurt it out like that!

Ah, you’re trying to make sure everyone knows my secret, aren’t you? You almost said it outright! I’m so******.

Bah! Get down!

Bai Mo thought to herself that if she couldn’t beat him, she’d just push Kevin to the ground and force him to wear women’s clothes. Or better yet, turn him into a girl.

"Huh... Huh... Don’t be angry, your body is your own!"

She finally calmed down but then met the curious stares of the other two. Bai Mo suddenly had a headache.

"Ah... Ahem, I just remembered that the clothes on the balcony haven’t been collected yet. Lau, you and Sister Eden chat for a bit. I’ll go back first!"

Not wanting to make Bai Mo more embarrassed, Pardo quickly came up with an excuse and ran off.

"Lau..."

Seeing this, Eden realized it was time for her to leave as well. But just as she was about to go, Bai Mo pulled her back.

"Sister Eden, don’t leave."

-----

Chapter 284: A Gift for Eden

Let’s not focus on the awkward situation caused by Kevin’s words.

Bai Mo had originally planned to find Eden after her training with Kevin.

And now, Eden just happened to be there again. How could she let her go?

Just surrender~

Given Eden’s personality, she wouldn’t ask about what Kevin had just said unless Bai Mo was willing to tell her.

A beautiful, kind, wealthy, and intellectual big sister! That’s Eden~

In this confusing situation, Bai Mo took Eden’s arm and led her away from the training ground.

During this time, Eden asked Bai Mo several times where they were going, but Bai Mo’s answer was always just two words: "Your home."

? ? ?

Is there something special at your place? Or does Lau want to see that dress she’s working on? Or perhaps, does she want a drink?

Eden blinked in confusion.

But despite this, she had no intention of asking further. After all, all the questions would be answered in time, right?

Watching Bai Mo walk ahead, hands behind her back, looking lively and cute, Eden subconsciously thought that the one in control of the body must have been Ellie.

After all, Bai Mo’s way of kicking stones, weaving a wreath from willow branches, and coming over to act spoiled was so similar to Ellie. There was no awkwardness at all, even after what happened with Kevin.

Just as Eden was thinking this, Bai Mo suddenly came to her side. "Sister Eden, aren’t you curious about what I want to do?"

Edenat 1.74 meters was almost the same height as Bai Mo, so there was no need to tiptoe. Bai Mo placed the wreath she had just made on Eden’s head and admired her masterpiece with satisfaction.

After all, Eden had been so calm along the way. In Ellie's words, it had been completely uninteresting.

Helpless, Bai Mo had to speak up first to spark Eden’s curiosity. Otherwise, if Eden remained calm when receiving the gift, it would have been all for nothing.

Sure enough, once Bai Mo spoke, Eden finally responded.

"It’s a beautiful wreath. Thank you, Lau. I was just thinking about something earlier, not that I didn’t want to pay attention to you, Lau."

Eden reached up and gently stroked the wreath on her head, smiling as she praised it, while apologizing for her earlier distraction.

Of course, whether or not she explained didn’t matter much—Eden wasn’t the type to be unreasonable.

Then, Eden imitated Bai Mo’s actions and made a wreath for her. She even embellished it with a silver-white gem and placed it on Bai Mo’s head.

"Hehe, thank you, Sister Eden."

"It’s nothing."

Well... she really was a wealthy woman. She could casually pick up a priceless gem.

Before stopping, Eden gently rubbed Bai Mo’s head.

"Hmm..."

Bai Mo squinted her eyes in enjoyment. This was the second time someone had touched her head, the first being Raven.

Both of them were older sisters.

It felt so good!

It was like getting your hair massaged at a barber shop. You could easily fall asleep if you weren’t paying attention.

But soon, as the weight on top of her head disappeared, Bai Mo snapped out of the peaceful state.

"By the way, Sister Eden, you haven’t answered my question yet. Don’t try to fool me!"

Bai Mo brought up the topic again.

"I’m really curious. Can Lau tell me? It’s okay to reveal just a little."

As Eden responded, a gust of wind blew, lifting her wine-red hair. When she spoke, it was as gentle as a spring breeze. Her face held a soft, genuine smile—not a fake one.

She reached up to smooth her hair behind her ear, her face flawless even without makeup. She wore a wine-red dress that seemed to flow seamlessly with her body, moving as if there were no wind. She was simply breathtaking.

When their eyes met, Bai Mo was momentarily stunned and lost for words.

Oh no! My heart’s racing!

Sister Eden, you’re so irresistible!

How did I not realize how amazing she was before?

It turned out that I had been too influenced by Ellie, and now I found myself wanting to push Sister Eden down... No, no, I must calm down.

Bai Mo stretched out her small hand and patted her face, forcing herself to calm down.

Though the idea of pushing Sister Eden down was tempting, it had to be considered carefully in the long run~

Before that, she had to teach Elysia a lesson and take back all the humiliation she had suffered before.

Shaking off the immature thoughts, Bai Mo said slowly, "Then, let me reveal just a little bit." She extended her index finger, shaking it mysteriously. "I secretly put a small gift at your place, Sister Eden! And I guarantee it’s the only one in the world!"

With that, Bai Mo put her hands on her hips, striking a proud pose.

Yes, the gift Bai Mo was talking about was the piano and record she had asked Exusai to purchase for her. Exusai had sent her a message to sign for the package before she went to the training ground this morning.

After receiving the message, Bai Mo had quickly opened the mall and transferred it into the imaginary space.

While making the wreath earlier, she had secretly used the imaginary door to place the gift in Eden’s home, hoping to create a pleasant surprise.

Speaking of which, something incredibly funny happened to Exusai that morning, which almost had Bai Mo laughing uncontrollably.

You say you’re transporting gold—fine, transport gold.

But why did you collide with Lungmen’s money transporter along the way? People who didn’t know would think you were trying to rob them.

Especially when the LGD arrived at the scene and found three tons of gold bars in Exusai’s car—it was quite the spectacle.

One person even ended up with a pair of silver gloves on the spot, and Ch'en was so furious she cursed at Lungmen.

Fortunately, the misunderstanding was cleared up later, and several people were released from the LGD.

So when Exusai was chatting with Bai Mo, she felt deeply wronged.

Bai Mo comforted her for a long time.

.............

"A unique gift in the world... It seems that Lau really put a lot of thought into this."

"But no matter what the gift is, as long as it comes from your heart, Lau, I believe it’s unique to me and to everyone in the Golden Courtyard."

With that, Eden took Bai Mo’s hand.

With the Signet of [Gold], she could own anything in the world as long as it had a price tag, no matter how expensive it was.

But the most precious and priceless thing to her was the kindness of her friends.

So, no matter how much the gift Bai Mo gave her cost, it would always hold great meaning in Eden’s heart.

Even the gifts Elysia had given her before—whether simple trinkets from roadside stalls or handmade items—were all carefully preserved by Eden.

----

Chapter 285: Brilliant Light, Shining on the Earth!

The heavy curtains were tightly closed, blocking all the sunlight outside the window.

The living room fell into darkness. For the sake of ceremony, Bai Mo had specially instructed Eden to enter the living room after everything was prepared.

To be honest, Eden hadn't felt like this in a long time.

Her chest rose and fell as excitement surged within her.

What kind of gift could it be?

Eden silently wondered in her heart. If Bai Mo hadn’t stopped her, she would have tried to peek.

"Okay, Sister Eden, you can turn on the light~"

The girl's playful voice came from the middle of the living room.

Honestly, she was still very nervous at this moment! Especially since she had been preparing for so long.

This was the most thoughtful gesture she had ever made!

"Okay."

Eden nodded when she heard the cue.

Click!

A delicate little hand, like a work of art, touched the power switch.

The next second, the crystal lamp in the living room lit up, and radiant light enveloped the entire room.

Bright light… shining on the earth?

Forget it. Light pollution is always bad.

Anyway, as the lights came on, Eden first looked at Bai Mo herself, instead of focusing on the gift Bai Mo had prepared for her. Her eyes were unconsciously drawn to her, unable to look away, as though she might miss the most beautiful treasure in the world.

The holy figure of the little girl was reflected in her eyes. At that moment, Bai Mo had changed into a dress—one she rarely wore, and it was her most precious treasure.

Eden stood there absent-minded.

Now the gift was entirely unimportant to her. After all, the fact that Bai Mo was standing there in this dress was the biggest gift, the biggest surprise.

She remembered back when she had tried to persuade Lau with Ellie to try on this dress, but their requests were always rejected. Now that she was seeing it, Eden didn't know how to express her emotions.

After all, everything that is given meaning and carefully protected must have a memory or secret behind it. Eden herself had one, so she understood the weight of it.

The fact that the girl could wear it and show it to her had already fulfilled her greatest wish. Or could it be said that this was also a form of recognition?

Her long black hair, like a waterfall, fell down (dyed forcibly with Honkai energy), sticking to her fair, delicate skin. Two white flower hairpins were clipped into her hair, and her wine-red eyes glistened like the most captivating gems in the world—pure and flawless, just like the girl herself.

A bow tie, like a work of art, was worn on her delicate neck, inverted like rabbit ears—cute and elegant.

The off-shoulder dress was primarily black, fitting just right to accentuate her curves, exposing the delicate outline of her clavicle and smooth, fair skin. A real purple gem shaped like a diamond adorned her chest, encircled by silver-white lines. It was chic, with no industrial feel, as though it were crafted by nature itself. Two purple tassels dangled beside it, blending seamlessly into the silver-white design.

The inner layer of the dress was a white fabric as light as a cicada’s wing, clinging to her skin and revealing her ivory-like, slender calves, creating an absolute domain of beauty. A pair of delicate jade feet stepped on the bright red carpet, glowing under the light.

A faint jasmine fragrance wafted from the girl, as if the words "jade" had been perfectly interpreted by her presence.

She was so beautiful that words couldn't express it. Eden stood speechless, slowly appreciating the sight.

Her fingers moved as if playing the keys of a piano, composing music for this "banquet."

"Well~ Sister Eden, are you borrowing my eyes to look in the mirror~? Okay, but before that, should we unveil the gift first?"

Facing Eden’s gaze, Bai Mo gently tilted her head, her faint smile radiating warmth. Her long hair swayed with her movement, smooth as silk.

This was the first dress she wore after arriving in this world, and it was also one of the symbols of her second life and the name [Aslaug].

Its significance was naturally extraordinary, so Bai Mo had always kept it as a treasure.

As for why she wore it today—it was probably out of interest. Or maybe she wanted to fulfill Eden’s and Elysia's wishes.

It was both, after all, this was a special occasion, wasn’t it?

But one thing Bai Mo found confusing: Was there a special bonus for wearing this dress?

Wasn’t this the Raven Poem, the Raven Capture Set? Why did it also work for Sister Eden?

Eden gazed at her for so long that Bai Mo almost imagined she could see words appearing above her head.

[Charm +1]

[Charm +1]

[Charm +10086]

Seeing this, Bai Mo lowered her head to look at herself carefully.

...

Well! It seems pretty solid! On a scale from 1 to 10, she’d give herself a 9. The remaining 1 point? She’d probably get too proud otherwise.

After a long time, Bai Mo came to this conclusion, though she still felt a little uncomfortable being barefoot.

It was a bit chilly. By the way, is it really uncomfortable for little Griseo to be barefoot?

At this moment, Bai Mo gained a deep understanding. She couldn’t help but feel puzzled. Her toes unconsciously curled and straightened again.

(Griseo: "I have a say in this!")

"Lau looks really beautiful today. Why don’t you call Ellie out too?"

"She’ll be so happy to see this, after all, she’s been looking forward to you wearing this dress."

With an appreciative gaze, Eden came to her senses and slowly walked to Bai Mo’s side, then spoke softly.

"Well, I’ll go wake up this lazy bug now."

She had originally planned to wake Ellie, but just hadn’t found the right time. Otherwise, this troublesome woman would have done something.

Now that Sister Eden was here, Ellie might be a little more restrained.

Bai Mo thought to herself, closing her eyes and immersing her consciousness in the sea of consciousness.

There was no barrier outside the pink core, and the door to her heart was wide open to Bai Mo.

The cracks had disappeared, and only a little more energy was needed to repair it and make it whole again.

Bai Mo nodded in satisfaction, then tapped the core with her fingers.

"Ellie, get up, the sun is shining on your butt!"

The next second...

[No response from the Origin Core…]

Tsk… My fist is hard!

Not to be outdone, Bai Mo shouted again: "It’s time to eat!"

[The Origin Core shook a little…]

What? Are you sleeping so soundly? Looks like I have to use my ultimate move!

Bai Mo concentrated for a moment, then released a loud signal inward, the loudest one she could muster.

"Get up quickly! Mobius is wearing a little skirt! It's Pink!"

[Origin Core: Bright light, shining on the earth!]

----

Chapter 286 Elysia: For the Greater Good! Sacrifice!

Eyes!

My eyes!

Bai Mo covered her eyes and rolled around in her sea of consciousness. She almost thought she was going blind.

Who would get up early in the morning to set off a flash bomb?

That brightness is no different from putting a flash bomb in your eyes.

By the way, is it really so important and exciting for you that Snake wears a pink skirt?

Watching the Origin Core gradually return to calm, Bai Mo rolled her eyes in annoyance.

If she had known earlier, she shouldn't have called Elysia to get up. She could have taken a photo with Eden and made her regret it!

Maybe she could see someone live, "It was obviously me first!"

Of course, Bai Mo was just thinking about it. She didn't have such bad taste.

As she said that, she left the sea of consciousness. Although the process was much more difficult for some reason, she finally managed to successfully transfer her consciousness back to her body.

"I'm back... um... Ellie, what did you do?"

A strange... no, it should be said to be a familiar ceiling.

After taking control of her body, Bai Mo found herself lying on the carpet with her back facing the sky, and a puzzled expression appeared on her face.

There were obvious signs of being touched on her clothes, including the hem of the skirt and the surrounding carpet, which had obvious wrinkles.

Is Ellie so dishonest? She doesn't restrain herself in front of Eden?

Bai Mo was shocked.

If you're going to do this kind of thing, you should wait until you go back at night!

"Well~ I always feel that Lau is secretly saying bad things about me."

Just when Bai Mo was starting to lose her mind, Ellie's voice suddenly rang out.

If you listen carefully, you could still hear a bit of grievance.

Damn!

Who is wronged?! Even if it’s ruined, it’s my body, okay?!

The girl was feeling... irritable.

"I... then why don't you explain to me, Ellie, why am I lying on the ground?"

The thin white lining curled upwards, and the skin, as soft as milk and smooth as breath, was faintly visible.

A few strands of hair were messily attached to her shoulders, and the full, upturned chest kept rising and falling, with a different kind of beauty.

The snow-white long legs were intertwined and slightly bent. With the girl's beautiful face and perfect appearance, it gave people an impulse to commit a crime.

After smoothing out the wrinkles on her clothes, Bai Mo slowly sat up.

"Well... it was Lau who woke me up. Okay, I hadn’t woken up just now, so I thought I’d lie down for a while, and Eden can testify to this~♪"

Beautiful! Just follow this rhythm!

As long as you act harmless and aggrieved enough, Lau will definitely not care about these things!

This move has been tried and tested many times. After saying that, Ellie gave Eden a "you know" look.

"Really? Sister Eden?"

No! It's really wrong!

Is she so calm? And Sister Eden too, why do I always feel like her eyes are a little erratic?

There must be something fishy here; there are bad people among the crowd!

"Well... it’s like this."

I'm sorry, Lau... your sister Eden may have to go against her will this time.

I silently apologized in my heart.

She put her hand behind her back and carefully hid the phone. Eden nodded very calmly under Bai Mo's suspicious eyes.

Well? This is how the acting of a big star is...

...........

Three Minutes Ago.

"Dear Mobius! Are you finally willing to put on the little skirt? I knew it would look great... Hey? Eden! Where’s Mobius? Where’s the little skirt?"

Originally still asleep, but after hearing Bai Mo say that Mobius changed into a little skirt, Elysia became so excited that she immediately attached her consciousness to her body.

Thinking she could finally feast her eyes, Elysia shouted happily, but reality is always cruel. When she opened her eyes and saw clearly who was standing in front of her, Elysia realized that she had been fooled by Bai Mo.

"Hmm..."

Miss Pink Elf puffed her mouth in dissatisfaction.

"Hehe... It seems that Lau's way of calling you to wake up is really special."

Looking at Elysia's resentful eyes, Eden smiled softly.

Is it true that there is always something that can defeat something else?

Eden thought. In her own cognition, there was really no one besides Bai Mo who could make Elysia show such an expression. Of course, Eden could do it herself, but she just didn't.

"My good Eden~ Why are you like this too? Shouldn’t you give me a big hug at this time~♪"

The Miss Elf quickly adjusted her mentElliety and opened her arms to hug him.

"Okay, okay."

Eden smiled and shook her head helplessly.

The two hugged each other and separated after a while.

"By the way, Ellie, don’t you think Lau’s dress today is very special?"

Seeing that Elysia didn’t react for so long, Eden couldn’t help but remind her.

"Hey... wearing? What can Lau wear..."

The words that were about to come out stopped abruptly.

Elysia looked down following Eden’s words, and the puzzled expression on her face was instantly replaced by surprise.

"Has Lau finally come to her senses!"

This... Lau actually wore this dress!!

An unexpected surprise! After all, this is much more surprising than letting Mobius wear a little skirt!!!

The little emotion that she felt before dissipated, but it was replaced by a faint jealousy.

I wasn’t the first one to see it! I’m a little jealous!

But even though she thought so, Elysia’s hands weren’t idle.

She should take advantage of... ahem, she should appreciate what she should appreciate!

"Today, Lau said she wanted to give me a gift. This dress should be worn by her."

At this time, Eden explained.

"Is that so? But putting that aside, Lau looks really good in this dress!"

Hearing this, Eden didn’t speak but nodded in agreement.

"So..."

"Hmm?"

Looking at the smirk on Elysia’s face, Eden looked at her in confusion.

"In the consciousness space, Lau can’t come back for a while, so we..."

It’s just a little obstacle! Sorry, Lau! For the happiness of all of us, you have to sacrifice a little!

The Miss Elf winked playfully, then hinted wildly.

"You want to take pictures, right?"

Hearing this, Eden showed a "as expected" smile and took out her mobile phone from her pocket.

"You’re worthy of my good Eden! Let’s get started without delay!"

After the two looked at each other, Elysia naturally posed in various cute poses.

Click!

Click!

Accompanied by the flash of the flash, a series of shutter sounds rang out continuously.

Among them, there are many photos that could make people bleed from the nose at a glance, and they were all well recorded.

This wave! It's all profit!

...............

Back to the Present

"Look, Eden said so!"

Elysia added appropriately. Little did they know that Bai Mo had already seen through their little moves, but she just didn’t point them out.

"......."

I don’t want to bother with you two. We should have some level of deception, okay?

Even serious lies aren’t as exaggerated as you two.

Whose good person sleeps like this? I thought she was... you know!

----

Chapter 287: The Devil's Whisper~

"Okay! The magic time is over. Next, it's time for us to witness the gift being unveiled~♪"

After snapping her fingers, rose petals fell from the sky, and Bai Mo slowly led everyone to the gift she had prepared.

The gift was covered by a red curtain, which made it seem very secretive and not like a piano at all.

"Please, Sister Eden. This gift is meaningful only when you unveil it yourself."

With that, Bai Mo stepped aside and made a "please" gesture.

"The girl's kindness must be accepted well, my good Eden~♪"

At this moment, Elysia's voice sounded. She couldn’t wait to see what the gift was.

Yes, she was more curious and anxious than Eden.

"Well, let's witness this moment together." With a smile on her face, Eden placed her hand on the red curtain and slowly lifted it under Elysia’s expectant gaze.

Wow!

As the red cloth fell to the ground, the true nature of the gift was revealed.

Unlike modern handicrafts, this was a very modern piano with a black color, exquisite and elegant. It was a pure handmade custom version—the kind that you can’t buy, even with money. (After all, it’s from that land.)

And most importantly, the word "Eden" was engraved on the piano cover.

Of course, Bai Mo had done the engraving herself later.

Despite that, it didn’t lose any of its beauty; instead, it added a personal touch.

As for the origin of this piano, it wasn’t bought casually from the Plaza, but rather... cough, cough... Miss Swire had specially arranged for it to be purchased at a friendly price as an apology to the Exusai. It's also a rare and precious item in Terra.

Okay, speaking of this, Bai Mo had to criticize someone!

That would be our Raven, Ms. Natasha Cioars!

(Bai Mo: Look at her glaring at me! A young lady and a mercenary, it would take half a lifetime to save enough to buy an island!)

At that moment, Raven who was mixing drinks in her bar suddenly sneezed.

"??? Is White Rabbit secretly talking behind my back again? Forget it, I’ll go see her another day."

Shaking her head, Raven turned around and resumed mixing drinks. Behind her, a group of children were sitting in a circle.

Let's get back to the point.

After seeing the piano Bai Mo had prepared for her, Eden was deeply captivated. As the biggest star of the last era, one who had come to represent that time, she had played countless pianos when recording songs and performing.

But she had never seen a piano as perfect as the one before her. Whether in terms of craftsmanship, appearance, or the pitch after tuning, it was flawless.

It didn’t seem like a product of this era. After all, every piano from this time carried elements and an atmosphere unique to its age, but on this piano, Eden couldn’t see any of those signs.

"It's really a beautiful piano! And there's your name on it, Eden."

Even Elysia, though she didn’t understand these things, couldn’t hide her surprise.

Seeing their reactions, Bai Mo couldn’t help but feel happy. After all, this was the effect she had hoped for—to make people’s eyes light up and surprise them.

"Thank you, Lau, I really like this gift."

Eden placed her hands on her chest and expressed her true feelings.

She could feel the preciousness of the piano and the thoughtfulness of the gift. She didn’t feel the need to say too many words of thanks. When friends exchange gifts, it’s enough just to accept them with sincerity. Of course, a return gift is also expected, at least for her.

"If you like it, that’s great, but don’t thank me too soon. After all, there’s still one more gift~"

With her long black hair shining under the light, Bai Mo shook her head and suddenly spoke mysteriously.

"Lau actually prepared so many surprises! Even I am a little jealous~"

"Okay, I’m preparing your gift, Ellie, and I will definitely satisfy you when the time comes."

"How about a little more romance~? No matter what the gift is, Miss Elf will accept it with gratitude~♪"

Elysia playfully placed her little hand on "her" cheek and gently kneaded it. Though she was really jealous, she was also genuinely happy for Eden.

On the other side, Eden smiled upon hearing this, walked over, and naturally hugged Elysia’s arm. The latter smiled playfully, looking as close as ever.

"Although this piano is enough of a gift, if this is your intention, Lau, I don’t think I will refuse." Then, Eden also turned to Bai Mo and said.

Seeing this, Bai Mo just smiled without saying anything.

A pair of slender white hands reached into the imaginary portal, and Bai Mo retrieved a courier box with the Penguin Logistics logo.

The seals on it were intact, and Bai Mo hadn’t opened it in advance to preserve the original surprise—the joy of unboxing!

"Janjan! Look! This is the last gift~"

"Penguin Logistics? By the way, what’s in it, Lau?"

As expected of Elysia, her focus was always on these cute things, no matter the name.

At this moment, Eden also came over curiously, seemingly waiting for Bai Mo’s next move.

"Hehe, I’ll keep it a secret for now. We’ll know soon anyway." After saying that, Bai Mo manifested a carving knife. "Just like always, Sister Eden, you open the box yourself!"

"Yeah."

Eden nodded, took the carving knife from Bai Mo’s hand, and began to open the box.

Tear...

With one cut, the seal was broken, and the true nature of the gift was revealed. Inside were more than 30 Siren records, lying quietly.

Each of the records was of the highest quality, and some of them were signed editions.

Most importantly, Bai Mo had also found a record that made her heart ache: "生命流." Anyone who has been a swordsman would be familiar with this song.

The devil whispered, "Doctor, you can't rest now."

At that moment, Bai Mo felt as if there were countless little donkeys repeating that sentence in her ear.

Yeah! All that lost youth!

"Siren records?"

As Eden took out the records, she looked at the signatures and asked in confusion.

----

Chapter 288: Elysia – Who is Exusai?

She had been in the present world for a while and had developed a solid understanding of this civilization. The giants of this civilization were essentially some form of Schicksal technology, Anti-Entropy entertainment, and so on. However, she had never heard of the company Monster Siren Records.

As for it being an unknown small company?

The record was so exquisitely made that she didn’t believe it was produced by a small company.

Whether it was good or bad, you could tell just by listening.

It just so happened that she had a record player here that could play it.

Thinking this over, Eden decided to play one randomly, and Elysia and Bai Mo had the same idea. Both of them agreed with Eden's decision.

"Let’s play 生命流 to reminisce a bit. Also, Radiant is not bad."

Approaching the record player, Bai Mo handed the prepared record to Eden. The latter nodded and placed the record in.

...

The next second, a familiar voice sounded, and everyone pricked up their ears to listen, especially Eden and Bai Mo, who were particularly immersed.

It was just right! So right! It made your liver ache, and your hair fall out!

After a long time, Bai Mo’s face showed a nostalgic smile.

She recalled the pulling back then—the power of 648 had directly broken through the pool. She was so elated.

But despite that, Bai Mo still wanted to say that when she opened the pool that year, there was no age limit in the history, and the words "six-star operator up" were written on each crooked card. She couldn’t sleep that night, so she looked carefully for half the night and saw the words between the lines. The whole screen read: "kokodayo!"

After a while, the song ended.

Except for Bai Mo, Eden and Ellie had both come back to their senses.

The music quality was very high, and Eden was becoming more and more interested in these records.

After all, they were songs she had never heard before. If she could remember the tune and play it, it would be a very happy thing.

"How about Ellie? Do you want to change to the next one?"

Eden smiled at Ellie.

"Okay, after all, these are all great songs."

Elysia nodded and turned toward the table where the records were placed.

But just as she was about to change the second record, an envelope mixed in with the records fell out and slowly drifted to the ground.

Eden saw this scene as well, so he walked over curiously.

"An envelope?" Both of them said.

Is this another little surprise?

The two were puzzled, and then Elysia leaned over to pick it up.

Poor Bai Mo was still subconsciously recalling the music from just now and didn’t notice what happened around her.

The envelope had a simple white cover with a wax seal, and the shape still had the Penguin Logistics logo.

From the outside, there was nothing special. Judging by the feel alone, it was thin, as though it contained only one or two sheets of letter paper.

"It seems that Lau is also quite girlish~ She even thought of sending a letter."

Subconsciously thinking that this was also a surprise prepared by Bai Mo, Elysia's mouth corners lifted slightly, and she handed the envelope to Eden.

"Come on, my good Eden! I can’t wait to know what Lau wrote in it!"

Miss Pink Elf rubbed her hands excitedly, her eyes full of little stars.

"This... okay."

Eden hesitated for a moment.

Although she didn’t know why, Eden always felt that this letter was not meant for her. But that was just her feeling, and with Elysia’s expectant look...

She figured that even if she didn’t open it now, Elysia would go and look herself.

Thinking this, Eden abandoned her doubts and extended her hand to open the envelope.

"Let me see, let me see!"

As soon as the envelope was opened, Elysia eagerly leaned her little head over.

...

"A photo? You put a photo in an envelope…?"

Elysia’s eyes widened.

Yes, the envelope didn’t contain a letter, but a photo.

Eden took it out curiously, and there was a line of small writing on the back of the photo.

"Come to Lungmen when you have time, Amo~" by Exusai.

"Amo is also called Lau, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard Lau mention the name Exusai."

At this point, Elysia shook her head and explained.

Hearing this, Eden didn’t say anything but chose to turn the photo over.

All of them were unfamiliar faces.

On the front of the photo, seven girls with different expressions were present, all of them were top-tier beauty. Their features were striking, almost like they were at a comic convention.

That’s right, this photo was taken by Exusai during a mission. Texas, Croissant, and Sora were also in it. The background clearly showed the Lungmen Guard Department.

Behind the people in the photo, you could see a famous scene.

As the saying goes, "Dragons fight, tigers fight, and onis worry." There was no ambiguity when "Lungmen Profanity" was raised.

Of course, if Bai Mo looked at it again, she’d definitely recognize it.

But the problem now was that the ones looking at this photo were Elysia and Eden, and the puzzled expressions on their faces clearly said: "I am confused."

Although they didn’t know these people, they were all very cute girls!

Miss Elf thought so, and the expression on her face gradually became thoughtful.

"If I’m not wrong, this must be Miss Exusai, right?"

Putting the photo on the table, Elysia pointed to the red-haired girl in the middle of the photo, holding a gun.

"It must be her! And these light wings and halo—just like the real thing!"

"And more! Is this… Dragon Horn?"

"Well... It looks similar to Kosma’s, but I don’t know what it would feel like."

"Speaking of Eden, do you think the girls in these photos could possibly be MANTISs?"

After a long time, Elysia voiced her doubts.

"Ellie, you’re joking again. Maybe these are just props? After all, it’s very difficult to mass-produce MANTISs with the technology of the previous era."

Upon hearing this, Eden glanced at Elysia, smiled, and shook her head, dismissing the idea.

After all, if the previous civilization could mass-produce MANTISes, how could the World Serpent not have any news? Furthermore, it’s very difficult to operate MANTISes.

Take Otto for example—after obtaining the technology of the previous era, didn’t Schicksal only had Theresa?

"Okay."

Seeing this, Elysia did not linger on the topic.

At this moment, Bai Mo’s consciousness was just about to come back online.

Responsibility restored! Full health revived!

After waking up, Bai Mo’s first thought was to ask Eden what she thought of the records.

She must like them a lot! After all, the quality was guaranteed!

She thought this in her mind, but just as she was about to speak, she noticed the photos on the table.

Damn!!!

She almost blurted out a Chinese expletive, especially when she saw Elysia enthusiastically discussing the appearance of everyone in the photo. Bai Mo instantly felt unwell.

-----

Chapter 289: A Singer

"Lau, you're back! Quickly introduce us to these cute girls in the photo!"

Sensing that another consciousness was coming online in her body, Elysia immediately spoke. She could hear the cheerful tone of Miss Pink Elf’s voice when she said this, with no hint of jealousy. Bai Mo’s heart which had been hanging was slightly relieved.

But how to explain this?

An introduction is fine, but if Ellie wants to meet and get to know them, wouldn’t it be...?

Woohoo! Exusai, you’ve done me a lot of harm!

When she goes to Terra sometime, she'll have to have a good conversation with her.

Bai Mo was about to cry for a moment. After all, she never expected such a thing could happen in such a short time.

My life is at an end!

But now, I can only bite the bullet. If I can explain, I will. If I can't, I'll just show it off. Anyway, it's not a big deal.

"Lau?"

Seeing that Bai Mo didn't respond for a long time, Elysia asked in confusion.

"Coming, coming."

If I don’t go to hell, who will?

Bai Mo (forced) quickly took over the control of the body and introduced the two of them one by one.

Her eyes narrowed, and then she spotted the photo.

Hehe... This background is in the LGD; you deserve to be arrested!!!

"Now, this red-haired Sakota, her name is Exusai. She bombed her school every day when she was a child. When she graduated, the whole school sent her off."

When she said this, Bai Mo gritted her teeth, and waves of resentment seemed to float from behind her, as if they were real.

"The colder one is called Texas; she's from a gang. The one holding the shield is called Croissant, a street stall owner. And the yellow-haired one next to her is called Sora, who loves to show off her hair—she's an idol."

"It’s indeed a bit cool! And the stall owner looks a bit like Pardo."

??? My dear Ellie, you're totally wrong to think so.

Although Croissant might be a bit dubious about selling things, after all, the goods are all bought from regular channels, and they are real gold and silver flowers.

How can it be like Pardo where everything is 'bought' from her buyers...

At this point, I'm afraid even a certain profiteer and old blood devil can't do it.

So it has to be Pardo~

A cute cat doesn’t have any bad intentions~ After all, she just wants to keep it for you to prevent you from losing it. How considerate!

As for buying it from the Cat’s store? Isn’t that the so-called storage fee~

However, Bai Mo didn’t say these words directly. She just nodded silently.

"Speaking of which, is this idol like Eden?"

Miss Elf raised her hand obediently and asked.

"No, Sister Eden is a big star. Idols and other things don't apply to her."

What a joke, how can a mere idol compete with a big star who represents an era!

Shining like a gold is no joke!

Bai Mo said proudly with her hands on her hips, as if the big star was hers.

And there are those records—of course they sound good, but if you want to compare them with the music created by Eden, they are still far behind.

"Haha, don’t say that to Lau. After all, I’m just a singer on the stage."

Hearing this, Eden smiled happily because she hadn’t heard anyone praise her like that for a long time.

"But the music, singing, and applause from the audience don't lie. The overwhelming posters of the previous era, Sister Eden, you are still too modest."

The corners of her mouth raised slightly, Bai Mo said with a smile.

If these words had been spoken before, Bai Mo would never have mentioned them in front of Eden, because that would only increase the sadness.

But for Eden, who has now come out of the haze, what happened in the previous era is more like her memories—fuel that can push her to new heights.

Live for yourself, live in the present, and cherish everyone around you. This is what Eden has thought about since leaving the Elysian Realm, so Bai Mo dared to mention the previous things in front of Eden.

"What Lau said makes sense, and if you want, Eden, you can definitely bring your singing to this civilization~♪"

"Correct answer! Besides, I’ve known Sister Eden for so long, and I’ve only heard her sing a few times."

After hearing Elysia’s words, Bai Mo immediately found an opportunity to echo.

In her mind, she seemed to see a rising star! Lighting up the entire era!

"I’ll give it some thought, of course, if that’s what everyone wants."

Eden smiled gracefully, looking at the "two people" with eyes full of doting.

What Elysia said was a path she had never imagined, but if you think about it carefully, it’s not impossible to try, especially with friends who expect it.

"Okay!" ×2

What is this? What an unexpected surprise!

In short, the "two people," who were very happy, clapped their hands in tacit agreement, like a high-five.

Then Bai Mo thought about the plot in the "Golden Courtyard." Apart from some impossible things, maybe Thirteen Flamechasers really should change her/his way of life, even though her/their current life is comfortable enough.

But at least Elysia can still be a host, and little Gratius can be a painter, and open a clinic for Su?

No matter what he treats, it’s still a matter of hanging the pot to save the world, right?

University Professor Mobius? The high school boy Kosma and the mediocre worker Kevin are unlikely, but as for the rest, you can give it a try.

Anyway, it all depends on the wishes of the Flamechasers, and she is just providing an idea.

Just as Bai Mo was thinking about it, a record was inserted into the record player at some point. Beautiful and melodious tunes came from it, as if they could purify people's worries.

Her mind naturally relaxed, and she was completely immersed in it. Bai Mo, who had been lucky enough to listen to this piece of music, knew it was created by Eden.

Eden closed her eyes gracefully, her fingers rising and falling slightly with the music coming from the record player next to her.

Slowly opening her mouth, the song was clear and melodious. It was a treasure, praising an entire era.

"Bah bang bang bang..."

Bai Mo and Elysia listened for a long time, waiting for the song to finish. They applauded without hesitation.

"How about it, my friends?"

"Well, if I want to use your words, Eden, it should be: May time last forever at this moment~♪"

"Not only that, I also feel that this era is beckoning to you, Sister Eden!"

This is what Bai Mo also said in praise.

If she had to rate it, she would give it 100 points out of 10. After all, Eden’s singing voice is so good it can make your ears pregnant.

---

Chapter 290: Raven: I Have Such a Big Stigma!

Time flies, and two days passed quickly.

Two days can accomplish a lot of things, at least Bai Mo thinks so.

After giving Eden the gift, the two unexpectedly didn’t focus too much on the things in the photo. Bai Mo had asked about it indirectly, and after learning that they thought those were props, she was slightly relieved.

At least there was no need for another explanation. Bai Mo still believed that once the chat group could automatically pull people in or invite Elysia to join, there would be no need to worry about such things.

After that, Bai Mo also borrowed resources from the World Serpent and rented a large store in the Far East for Pardo, so she could be a hands-off shopkeeper or parachute in to manage it.

Pardo said she was more inclined toward the former, as she didn’t want to leave the Golden Courtyard and everyone, and also felt it would be more troublesome to purchase goods if she were there.

Bai Mo expressed her understanding and didn’t press the matter. After all, as Pardo said, she only needed to bask in the sun and sleep every day.

To put it simply, it was just a waste!

Such a noble spirit, Bai Mo suggested that the whole world should implement it! Eliminate the tyranny of 007.996!

Oh, this damn and corrupt world; it’s time for a great cleansing!

Put your hands together, pious!

Cat!

........................

A peaceful day began, starting from waking up naturally and lasting until noon.

After tidying up her messy collar, Bai Mo sat up and rubbed her sore calves.

It was true that she had too much fun with Elysia last night, so she was really tired now.

Young people must be restrained, especially when it comes to their own bodies. Some things should be done less.

As the saying goes, don't let reason penetrate your desires... or rather, it's the opposite. In short, that will only hurt you in the end.

Looking at the underwear scattered on the floor, Bai Mo picked them up expressionlessly and then took out a new set from the closet.

She had thrown a black underwear on the aircraft before, and it was a shame to lose it after only wearing it three times.

"Ha...ah."

After stretching comfortably, Bai Mo turned around and walked out of the room after changing clothes.

By the way, little Griseo had been placed in the next room to sleep last night.

The soundproofing was good, so it wouldn’t lead the child astray.

Pah-pat-pat...

Wearing slippers, Bai Mo slowly walked into the living room.

The TV in the living room was playing the cartoon that Griseo loved to watch, and there was a slight sound, but Bai Mo didn’t pay too much attention to it.

Until a very familiar voice sounded, dispelling all her sleepiness.

"You stayed up late again last night? Why did you get up so late?"

The voice was slightly reproachful. From this, it could be inferred that the person speaking must be frowning.

"Boom Boom Crow?! Why are you here?!"

Looking instinctively in the direction of the voice, Bai Mo found the familiar figure on the sofa. She must have just come back from Raven's place. At that moment, Raven was still wearing her work clothes from "Tipsy Time."

A pair of heavy Martin boots were kicked off, and Raven’s beautiful legs, wrapped in black stockings, were exposed to the air. She dangled her feet, crossed her arms, and looked at the white rabbit helplessly.

Sighing and shaking her head, she looked like an old mother worried about her children.

Beside Raven, little Griseo was still watching anime quietly. But when she noticed Bai Mo had woken up, she waved to her.

"Good morning, Little Griseo." Bai Mo smiled and responded, glad that Griseo wasn’t abnormal.

Otherwise, she’d be really dead.

She forced herself to push aside the events of last night and then shrank her neck when meeting Raven’s eyes that seemed to want to eat her.

Ro be honest, she was quite scared now. Raven had obviously been there for a while. Bai Mo wasn’t sure if Raven had gone to her room to wake her up. If she had, Bai Mo figured she’d have to live on another planet.

Her face unconsciously flushed, and her panicked eyes darted around.

"How long are you going to stand there? Are you still not awake? I should have gone to your room and lifted the quilt for you."

Seeing Bai Mo standing there like a statue, Raven said angrily.

This white rabbit doesn’t miss me after not seeing me for so long? At least she could give me a hug or something. I came to her so early and even sent her a message.

Raven·Pacing (above)

Raven·Running (middle)

Raven·Rolling (bottom)

In general, I feel very wronged.

Turning her head away, just as Raven was thinking about whether to break up with the white rabbit for two minutes, she saw Bai Mo running toward her in three steps and jumping into her arms.

What... it seems this white rabbit still has a conscience.

A slight smile appeared on Raven’s lips as she let Bai Mo’s face rub against her arms.

Huh... she didn't go, this feels so good.

It almost gave me a heart attack.

Woo woo woo! The world is going downhill, and people's hearts are not what they used to be.

This world is like a cage, and people trapped in it must endure the cold of the night forever.

But only in this pair of softness can we find that ray of light and warmth.

Bai Mo also had a faint smile on her face, but the two of them were obviously not on the same page.

Bai Mo really missed Raven.

This could be seen from the fact that she always prepared Raven’s clothes in her closet, including some daily necessities. After all, if Raven wanted, she could move in at any time. This is why Bai Mo hadn’t found another place for her in the Golden Courtyard.

The two of them stayed together for a while, but they didn’t realize that Griseo sitting beside them had already blushed.

Recalling some indescribable sounds she had heard last night, Griseo felt for the first time that the powerful hearing of a MANTIS was a burden.

"Alas..."

The girl looked down at her young body.

A bold idea crossed her mind. After all, if she were 50,000 years old, she would be considered an adult...

Suppressing the thought, the girl soon returned to her usual self.

Meanwhile, the two people on the sofa had quieted down.

Of course, they just hugged for a while and didn’t do anything inappropriate.

After all, Raven came to Bai Mo today with a very important message, so she couldn’t forget to talk about the business.
