Chat Group: Starting by Swapping Bodies with Elysia?

"Aisha, have you seen this man before?" Although she could have used a more convenient method—like directly asking for Jiang Qiao's location—Elysia, wanting to "surprise" him, ultimately chose this more laborious and inefficient approach.

She showed a photo of Jiang Qiao to a familiar girl. The latter—Aisha, who had appeared in Elysia's memories—looked at the photo and couldn't help but admire,

"Whoa, he's quite handsome. Wait~ Elysia, could it be… your…"

She seemed to realize something, pausing, and looking at Elysia uncertainly, a hint of excitement in her voice.

This straightforward question made Elysia blush, stammering, "Eh—h-how could that be?!"

"Really?"

"Of course… of course it's real!" Feeling Aisha's knowing gaze, Elysia averted her eyes, trying to avoid eye contact.

Aisha smiled brightly, clicking her tongue in amazement, "Well, I'll take your word for it~ But this is the first time I've seen you so lovestruck, Elysia. If everyone found out, it would probably be headline news on Fire Moth's intranet!"

"Come on, tell me everything, girl. I'll help you out."

"Have you seen him or not? Aisha." The Pink Fat Woman said, slightly irritated.

"Nope—just kidding."

"I'm going to be angry!"

"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. I saw him when I came over."

"I even wanted to go up and ask for his contact information…" Aisha said with a hint of regret.

Although Fire Moth, with its global reach, wasn't lacking in handsome men and beautiful women, high-quality ones were still relatively rare—especially those that matched one's taste.

Elysia puffed out her cheeks, glaring at the girl in front of her. Aisha chuckled and said, "Just kidding, I only saw him from afar. It seemed he was taken away by the new head of the Engineering Department."

"Vill-V?"

"Yeah, it looked like they were headed towards the Helix Workshop."

"Helix Workshop… Thanks, Aisha!" Having obtained the answer she sought, Elysia, too excited to say anything more, rushed off towards the Helix Workshop.

"I heard Vill-V's workshop is quite special. I wonder what kind of special it is." Elysia said curiously.

She hadn't actually been inside Vill-V's workshop before. After all, it was mainly [Elysia] who interacted with her, while she herself knew nothing about that eccentric little miss Inventor… That being said, Elysia could sense that Vill-V seemed to be hiding something.

"It's very interesting," Fairy Ely, following beside her, said.

As the head of the Engineering Department, Vill-V's Helix Workshop was enormous—of course, this wasn't anything noteworthy. There were other places within the headquarters with even larger areas.

The reason it was so memorable for most Fire Moth members, besides its eccentric owner, was because of Vill-V's bad habit.

She would redecorate her Helix Workshop almost every so often, not because of damage… although that did happen occasionally.

But the main reason, as Vill-V herself put it, was that she wanted to give everyone who entered her workshop a completely different "experience" each time.

In other words, "novelty."

After all~ if everything remained unchanged, it would be too boring, wouldn't it?

"We're here."

"Huff…" Taking a deep breath, Elysia used her access card to open the door to the Helix Workshop.

"So many mirrors…" Stepping inside, she froze.

The vast space was filled with huge mirrors.

Her own reflection was mirrored countless times, stretching and shrinking… Elysia felt lost.

It was so big… how could she find them?

Walking past mirror after mirror, perhaps because there were too many, the Pink Fat Woman didn't notice anything unusual about the mirror she leaned against.

"This mirror seems different," Fairy Ely said. As an extension of Elysian Realm Elysia's data, she immediately spotted the anomaly.

Even in the Elysian Realm, Vill-V had maintained that bad habit, even amplifying it with the convenience of data manipulation.

This made Elysian Realm Elysia quite familiar with her antics.

She approached the mirror and gently pushed—

The surrounding layout instantly changed.

As the mirror in front of her retracted, Elysia, seeing Jiang Qiao, was about to greet him, when—

She witnessed the "exchange" between Jiang Qiao and Vill-V.

At this moment, the Pink Fat Woman stood frozen in place.

"W-What are you two doing?!" Elysia, feeling a vein throbbing in her forehead, instantly entered her angry state, her cheeks flushed, stammering as she pointed at the two of them, her sweet voice trembling.

Although this kind of behavior wasn't uncommon even for Elysia herself, at least in private, seeing Jiang Qiao doing this with another beautiful girl still made her…

Aaaaaahhhh!!! Bad Jiang Qiao!!! (Roaring)

"Ahem, don't mind us, I'm just researching his ability."

"Huh?" Hearing Vill-V's words, Elysia was even more annoyed—You're practically rubbing it in my face, and you're telling me not to mind?!

So angry, glare!

Miss Inventor, inherently soft-spoken and now at fault, was speechless—besides, what she did seemed rather inappropriate… Blushing, Vill-V could only lower her head like an ostrich, trying to avoid the issue.

This made the Pink Fat Woman even angrier.

You're the one doing something bad, why does it look like I'm the bad guy?

And you!

Angry Elysia glared fiercely at Jiang Qiao, standing beside Vill-V. Her resentment seemed to materialize, soaring into the sky.

"Bad Jiang Qiao, do you like using other girls' bodies that much?!"

"It's alright."

He admitted it! He actually admitted it!

Her cheeks puffed out rapidly, Elysia's anger meter skyrocketing. She wanted to create a Fairy Blast Fist and smash Jiang Qiao into the ground—You like playing with other girls like this?! Fine, fine! I'll give you all the "play" you want!

Let's see if you still want to play then!

—Although her thoughts were grand, Elysia, second only to Vill-V in terms of innocence, clearly lacked the courage to put them into action.

She stomped her foot, paced back and forth angrily, then grabbed Jiang Qiao's arm and dragged him outside: "Let's go!"

"Um…"

"Huh—do you have a problem?" Elysia, clinging to Jiang Qiao's shoulder, glared at Vill-V, who shrank back and quickly shook her head.

"No…"

"Thank you," she hesitated for a moment, then said to Jiang Qiao, her voice barely a whisper.

—Although on the surface, Vill-V hadn't gained anything from Jiang Qiao, even losing some of her "innocence" in the process,

She couldn't be like Mobius, taking "research materials" from Jiang Qiao… That kind of thing was too… Ah!

The overly stimulating memory surfaced in her mind, not fading or weakening even after Vill-V returned to her own body. On the contrary, it seemed to intensify.

Vill-V's unique nature made this memory incredibly vivid, as if she had experienced it firsthand, imprinted on her body… The girl instinctively pressed her thighs together, her cheeks burning with shame.

However, although that memory was difficult for Vill-V to handle, Jiang Qiao's habitual "adjustments" and "training" during his brief time using her body had indeed been quite helpful.

For instance…

"What did you bring back?!" An annoyed voice echoed in her mind, along with "Eek—!" "Oooh…" "Such a strange feeling…"

—Parallel consciousness.

This was the result of Jiang Qiao's "training."

The original Vill-V, being human, couldn't precisely control the split, and thus, the switching between personalities was flawed, and her original consciousness rarely surfaced.

Although this was partly due to her shyness, it was still somewhat troublesome.

Noticing this anomaly, Jiang Qiao, using a portion of the power of Creation he carried, adjusted Vill-V's brain structure, allowing these thoughts to exist in a clearer way, like Herrscher of the Void and the Herrscher of Reason—transforming them from mere thoughts into true "personalities," individual "existences."

Future exchanges and coordination would be much easier.

However, Vill-V's personalities never expected that their original self would bring back something strange after going out for a while.

No matter how flamboyant they were, they were essentially still "inexperienced." Now, they were in for a treat.

"So, what exactly did you do with Vill-V?"

"Swapped bodies—adjusted her body, no different from usual." Jiang Qiao replied calmly, then added, "That body is quite unique."

Elysia, who had asked out of vigilance, received this answer. Although her rationality told her that Jiang Qiao probably had no ulterior motives towards Vill-V… hearing this made her furious.

This bad guy is praising another woman right in front of me!

And saying she's unique! Is my body that bad?!

Angry Elysia thought so, then Vill-V's embarrassing assets suddenly came to mind… Looking down at her own small apples, an inexplicable sense of defeat washed over her… No, this is called petite!

I'm a perfect beautiful girl!

That Vill-V is just a fat-producing "milk cow"!

Unaware of Elysia's strange inner turmoil, Jiang Qiao was still savoring the "feeling" of that body.

That unparalleled "talent," even for him, was a novel experience.

Suddenly, Jiang Qiao paused.

He glanced at the chat group:

Furina: Are you there @Jiang Qiao?

Starting with 'are you there,' definitely up to no good!

Seeing Furina's message, this sentence immediately popped into Jiang Qiao's mind.

Jiang Qiao: ?

Furina: I want to thank you for what happened before. Let's have afternoon tea together.

The blue and white-haired girl sitting by the Fountain of Lucine sent this message, feeling somewhat nervous.

She had been thinking about this for a long time.

She hadn't had the chance to do it when chatting with Hu Tao before. Now that she had some free time, Furina felt it necessary to personally test this Jiang Qiao and see what kind of person he was.

Although Kyoko's previous example made Furina somewhat apprehensive about meeting offline, for the sake of Fontaine's people—even if it meant taking a risk, it had to be done.

Looking at the message, Jiang Qiao fell into thought.

Visiting Teyvat… hmm, it seemed quite interesting?

The worlds of Honkai and Star Rail were nothing special—perhaps the latter was slightly better, but unfortunately, when using Qingque's body, he hadn't had the time to do anything else, not even exploring the scenery of Xianzhou Luofu.

Teyvat, on the other hand, had a completely different "magical" style.

Even though he could create similar things with his own power, as a day-one Genshin player, Jiang Qiao still wanted to experience the scenery of Teyvat.

The waters of Cider Lake… the milk of the coconut goat… oh, he already had that. The milk-fragrant one-shot… the water of Fontaine's Primordial Sea.

The specialties of the fictional world of Teyvat were quite appealing to Jiang Qiao.

And there didn't seem to be any immediate problems in the Previous Era or the Current Era—even if there were, he could always return. So…

Jiang Qiao: Okay! (Loudly)

Physical needs held little significance for Jiang Qiao—after all, he could easily "manipulate" all of that.

For him now, what truly mattered was the pleasure of his will.

Elysia: Smiley face.JPG

A message suddenly popped up in the chat group.

The next moment,

Jiang Qiao noticed the incredibly benevolent smile of the Pink Fat Woman, two heads shorter than him, standing in front of him.

"Jiang~ Qiao~"

Her sweet voice was incredibly gentle, although this was Elysia's usual demeanor. However, her narrowed blue eyes clearly held a hint of "killing intent."

—Oh, you Bad Jiang Qiao, not only did you flirt with Vill-V right in front of me, but with me right here, you're also making afternoon tea dates with other girls?!

You like afternoon tea…

Then I'll give you all the tea you want!!!
