"Pfft——!"
Looking at the beautiful girl in front of him who appeared to have lost all will to live, our Mr. Yun Fan finally could not hold back and burst out laughing.
Under Robin's gaze full of resentment, Yun Fan walked to the girl's side and sat down beside her.
"Was it good? This Scale Abyss Ice Spring is a specialty of the Xianzhou Luofu, produced in the Scalegorge Waterscape, the sacred land of the Vidyadhara. Annual production is only a few hundred thousand bottles. If you like it, Robin, I can bring you more."
Yun Fan reached out and gently pinched the girl's fair cheek, speaking with a mischievous grin.
"Hmph!"
Robin knew full well that Yun Fan was teasing her. This bad guy—why didn't he warn her earlier? He clearly wanted to see her make a fool of herself!
Thinking of this, a feeling called bitterness surged in the girl's heart. No wonder she had felt a refreshing coolness in her mind and her whole body's cells had become active after drinking the Scale Abyss Ice Spring.
So that was why. High caloric intake made the cells and consciousness feel pleasure—this was the most normal thing.
"Eh~!"
Robin let out a heavy sigh, her eyes full of helplessness.
Great, she would have to continue eating plain food from now on.
"Uh, actually, Robin, you don't need to diet so strictly just to maintain your figure. You can be a little chubbier. Being a bit plump is healthier."
By ordinary standards, Robin's figure was already extremely perfect, achieving a golden ratio that most girls could never reach.
But in Yun Fan's view, the girl's graceful figure was still a bit too slender. It would be nice if she could gain a little weight and have a bit of softness, like Elysia.
Recalling that girl as brilliant as flying flowers, the beautiful girl whom Mobius teasingly called the "pink chubby," a smile unconsciously appeared on Yun Fan's lips. Elysia—she was once his favorite character, bar none.
Seeing the youth's slightly upturned mouth corners, the originally 'dejected' girl immediately felt alarm bells ringing inside. A woman's intuition told her that at this moment, her fiancé was definitely thinking about another woman!
"Yun Fan, are you thinking about another woman?"
Robin's tone was very calm, as casual as a passing remark.
However, it was precisely that plain and calm sentence that made Yun Fan break into a cold sweat inside.
Why… why can you say something like that so calmly? And this killing intent—can even a gentle girl like Robin harbor murderous intent toward someone?
"Ahem, no, no. What are you talking about?"
Yun Fan coughed lightly twice, trying to ease the girl's mood this way. However, 'the ideal is full, but reality is bony.' The 'killing intent' on Robin only grew stronger, even showing signs of intensifying.
"Fine, I admit it. I was indeed thinking about another girl just now, but…"
At this point, Yun Fan's tone paused slightly, and a trace of sadness appeared in his eyes.
Seeing this scene, Robin's heart suddenly sank, as if she had associated it with something bad.
"She… has already passed away."
Robin: ∑(;°Д°)
"I-I'm sorry!"
Although the girl had already guessed something, when the words truly came from Yun Fan's mouth, the kind-hearted Robin still felt a pang of sorrow in her heart.
Wuuu! She really was a bad girl. Why did she have to reopen Yun Fan's scars?
Looking at the youth who appeared downcast and heartbroken, Robin felt at a loss. Although this was not the first time she had encountered such a situation.
But—but this time was different!
First, Yun Fan was her future partner. Second, his identity—he was…
Thus, under the dual influence of being at a loss and ashamed guilt, the girl spoke almost involuntarily.
"Um… Ah Fan, can you tell me about that girl?"
The moment the words left her mouth, Robin suddenly covered her own mouth. At this moment, she wished she could slap herself hard. Look at what kind of question she had asked…
"You mean Elysia…"
Mentioning the name Elysia, an irrepressible smile appeared on Yun Fan's face. Although he had never truly met Elysia, his understanding of this girl was something he was confident surpassed that of any follower of the 'Elysian Realm.'
'So that girl's name was Elysia? Elysia… what a beautiful name. Just how charming must she have been to make Yun Fan remember her so fondly?'
Robin clasped her hands together and looked at the boy before her as if in prayer. She could sense that when the name Elysia was mentioned, Yun Fan's emotions had fluctuated slightly.
Even though the change was very subtle, it was still keenly captured by Robin, who wielded the power of [Harmony].
"Robin, let me tell you a story."
"Mm."
Hearing that Yun Fan wanted to tell her a story, Robin obediently nodded, then sat up straight like a primary school student waiting for the teacher's instruction.
"Haha, no need to be so formal."
Taking in all of Robin's actions, Yun Fan could not help shaking his head in amusement.
"No, I must listen seriously to the story Ah Fan is going to tell. This is respect for the storyteller, and also respect for the protagonist of the story."
Hearing Yun Fan's words, Robin gently shook her head, her tone full of determination.
Yun Fan: "...…"
The youth fell silent. He looked up and carefully observed the renowned singer for a few moments. After a long while, he sighed.
"You're right. This is a form of respect… Then, allow me to tell you the story of a group of people called the Heroes, and a girl named 'Elysia.'"

Shifting the view, the camera returns to Miss Topaz, who is currently on the Xianzhou Luofu…
"Miss Topaz, I have already reserved the most luxurious hotel on the Xianzhou Luofu for you. Tonight at six o'clock, the 'Human Realm' private room."
In the Sky-Faring Commission, in the reception hall of the Whistling Flame Chamber of Commerce, Tingyun handed the reservation number plate to Topaz and smiled at the girl.
"Thank you for your help, Miss Tingyun."
Taking the number plate, Topaz returned the smile. Even the little Trotter beside the girl let out two cute "jiu jiu" sounds, as if also expressing thanks.
