Chapter 332: Stelle: Green Corpse Cold! I’m Going to Make Green Corpse Cold!
Looking at the shadow reflected through the crack in the door, Levi immediately recognized that the person outside was Herta, who had just left.
He hurriedly looked at the mask on the table.
Then he glanced at the Herta doll in the room, and his heart tightened.
So that's why she suddenly brought the doll out. She knew Herta was coming back.
But why did she come back again?
Could it be that Aha had already told Herta everything?
Levi's heart sank. Hearing the knock on the door again, he swiftly put away both the doll and the mask.
With the resolve of someone prepared to die, he opened the door.
"Herta…"
"Hm? What's with that expression?" Herta slowly lowered the hand she had raised to knock and suspiciously glanced at Levi.
With that look of someone facing death without fear, anyone would think he was about to join a suicide squad.
Herta walked around him and picked up the thing she had left behind from the seat where she had just been sitting. Then she nodded at Levi and quickly left.
She didn't have time to chat with Levi here right now.
Feeling the USB drive in her pocket, she was already impatient to go back and verify it.
"Phew~"
Seeing that Herta hadn't come to cause him trouble, Levi breathed another sigh of relief. He had no intention of taking that mask out again.
He would just leave it in that space for now.

After waiting in the room for a while and seeing that no one else came, he opened the chat group and contacted Elysia.
[Do you know what your father-in-law… Cough cough, I mean, what Kevin likes?]
Seeing that the other party had accidentally called Kevin his father-in-law, Elysia blinked her pretty big eyes.
She answered honestly, [Blanca.]
Levi fell silent for a moment.
Was this answer telling him to buy his future mother-in-law and give her to his future father-in-law as a gift?
Putting aside whether Mobius would sell her, just that alone… Buying and selling people is against the law.
[That's the only one I know.]
The only person she could remember that Kevin liked was Blanca.
At other times, it wouldn't be appropriate for Elysia, a beautiful girl, to stay around Kevin, a burly young man.
It was far too easy for rumors to start.
For example, some time ago, she had taken Levi to Mobius's laboratory. After that, a rumor started spreading among the Fire Moth that she was keeping some handsome guy.
It was ridiculous.
[That really is ridiculous.]
Asta agreed. Anyone who had heard that rumor and actually knew Elysia would know that Elysia's financial situation wasn't enough to keep anyone.
[Elysia: …]
'That hurt, buddy.'
[Asta: Given Elysia's financial situation, it actually feels more reasonable for the rumor to be that she's the one being kept.]
[Wah wah wah, I want to be kept too.] Elysia glanced at Levi's profile picture and wiped away her tears. [Too bad nobody would want me.]
[Um.] Lumine suddenly spoke up. Elysia thought she was going to comfort her.
[You don't have to comfort me. Who can blame them? I'm a pink fat woman nobody loves.]
[No.]
'Huh? She wasn't comforting me?'
[Actually, if you're willing, I can keep you.]
Seeing this, Stelle immediately mocked her. [Why is this old woman so delighted to pretend to be a maiden?]
[You old...!]
The moment she saw Stelle's first words after appearing, Lumine's blood immediately boiled. She snapped, [And how am I not a maiden?]
[Millennium-old virgin?]
Every one of Stelle's words was full of mockery, and even Levi found it hard to hold back.
[Where did this weirdo learn all these strange expressions?]
Levi rubbed his chin and began thinking.
Anyway, it definitely wasn't from him.
After calming down, Lumine chose to ignore this bastard who had apparently studied under Levi.
[Levi: ?]
What did she mean, studied under him?
[Be careful, I'll sue you for defamation!]
[Make Green Corpse Cold! I absolutely have to make Green Corpse Cold!]
Stelle chimed in below, completely in cahoots with Levi.
Unfortunately, Lumine had already made up her mind not to pay attention to these two masters and disciples. Besides, even if she really wanted to make that whatever Green Corpse Cold was…
Could she send it from the Xianzhou Luofu to Teyvat?
Looking at Elysia's profile picture, Lumine became shy again.
[Um, what do you think?]
[I refuse.]
The answer was very decisive and very fast, without the slightest hesitation.
Almost the very second Lumine finished asking, Elysia gave her answer.
'D-did you really have to answer that fast…'
'A-a little later would've been fine too…'
The smile disappeared from Lumine's face, replaced by a sorrowful expression.
[Beware of the copper women of Teyvat.]
Levi played the good Samaritan and reminded everyone in the group to stay safe.
As if she had realized that her words had hurt Lumine, Elysia immediately added an explanation.
[I'm not short of money.]
The only good thing about being in the Fire Moth was that all expenses were covered by the Fire Moth.
The other benefits were also very good, including benefits for family members and so on. Otherwise, how could they get people to risk their lives fighting the Honkai?
Although everyone currently joining the Fire Moth was a hot-blooded young man or woman, passion would eventually cool down, perhaps before the next Honkai descended.
Or perhaps after fighting the undead and Honkai beasts.
All in all, the Fire Moth's current method of training warriors felt a lot like training the undead.
To be honest, Elysia didn't like this.
If she could, she wanted to face the Honkai alone.
That way, ordinary people wouldn't have to die for nothing.
Looking at Levi's profile picture in the chat group, Elysia blinked.
She felt like she could bring one more person aboard.
———
Since he hadn't gotten what he wanted from Elysia, Levi could only rely on the unspoken understanding between men to choose a gift for his father-in-law… Cough, for his good friend Kevin.
By the time he finished choosing, night had already fallen. Levi had originally wanted to go to the Exalting Sanctum for some fun, but Qingque, who had returned, forcefully blocked the door.
Levi leaned against the wall and looked at Qingque standing in front of him, one hand braced against the wall, her face barely reaching his chest.
He smiled. "Good girl, let me go out and have some fun."
Qingque kept a stern face. "Get lost! You're not going anywhere tonight!"
"Mm… What are you two doing?"
Seeing Ling wake up, Levi gestured toward her with his lips. "There's still a kid here. Good girl, let me go out."
Qingque said nothing. She looked at Levi firmly, clearly having no intention of letting him leave.
She turned to Ling and said, "You're staying somewhere else tonight."
"Huh?"
"I've already booked a room for you. It's filled with all the youtiao tofu you can find in every shop on the Luofu, plus some that I had people buy for me from other Xianzhou ships."
"I'm going right now!"
Hearing this, Ling decisively took the key from Qingque, abandoned Levi, and climbed out through the window.
Watching Ling disappear into the night, Levi turned back and met Qingque's gaze.
"What are you standing there for? Go take a shower!"
Looking at Qingque as she gathered her clothes, Levi looked puzzled. "Why are you getting clothes if I'm taking a shower?"
Qingque didn't answer. She only gave him a mysterious smile.
"…"
———
[In the Exalting Sanctum]
Stelle arrived to meet Guinaifen on time. She was just about to greet her when she saw the figure standing beside Guinaifen.
That figure noticed her too and instantly became agitated.
"Stelle!"
"March 7th!"
Both of them were extremely agitated.
Only one was angry, while the other was terrified.
"…"
