“It feels less empty like this.”
The sunlight was thin.
Gentle and faintly luminous.
Like countless fine threads.
It brushed past the wooden large collection cabinet, illuminating the interior in great detail.
Xu Xi stood, scanning from left to right, taking in the jars of candy, wands, and paper flowers inside the cabinet.
It gave him a strong sense of fleeting time.
From the perspective of the real world, Xu Xi had obtained the Beautiful Life Simulator less than a year ago.
But if you included his experiences in the simulation worlds, the three lives he had lived together were already quite long.
The simulator was magical.
Although it had nothing to do with the word "beautiful."
Yet, it had truly helped Xu Xi gain strength.
It also continued to increase his collection.
Looking at the cabinet, Xu Xi couldn't help but wonder if the compartments would one day be filled.
It seemed rather interesting.
“Teacher, what did you put…?”
Krisha's voice carried confusion.
The witch didn't understand where Xu Xi had obtained the paper flowers, nor why he had placed them in the cabinet.
The aura on it.
Made the witch somewhat concerned.
“It's something a friend entrusted to me for safekeeping,” Xu Xi thought for a moment and gave this explanation before walking out of the room.
In his opinion, the paper flowers were only temporarily collected and would eventually return to the princess.
But the witch didn't seem to think so.
Nor did the female immortal.
After Xu Xi left, Krisha remained in the room, silently gazing at the cabinet, staring at the flawless paper flowers in the third compartment.
Buzz—
The fabric of spacetime rippled, and a shadowy figure stepped into the room, dressed in light, flowing garments.
“Do you know it?”
The witch’s voice was calm and indifferent.
She didn’t turn to look at the newcomer, still focusing on the paper flowers.
“No, I was going to ask you,” Xu Moli approached the witch and also gazed at the newly-appeared paper flowers.
At that moment, both eternal supreme beings had similar yet opposite thoughts.
“Does Teacher really have a second sister?”
“Does Brother really have a second disciple?”
The atmosphere grew strange.
Both the witch and the female immortal sank into a long contemplation.
After leaving the bedroom, Xu Xi walked alone into the courtyard, sitting in the shade of a rocking chair under the brilliant sunlight.
The injuries from the simulations didn’t carry over to the real world.
Yet, that exhaustion from exhausting everything.
Still echoed in his mind.
Leaving Xu Xi feeling weary.
“A cup of hot tea from Krisha helped a bit, but I still need to rest,” Xu Xi murmured to himself, lying back on the rocking chair, watching the late autumn scenery of the real world.
The autumn wind howled, rustling the blood dragon grass in the courtyard.
The chill became more apparent, transforming toward the harsh cold of winter.
It wouldn’t be long before winter fully arrived in the real world, followed by the New Year.
Xu Xi looked forward to it.
In the simulation worlds, he had celebrated many New Year’s Eves with Moli and Krisha, but in the real world, this was the first time.
Xu Xi felt it held special significance.
Not that the New Year in the real world would bring any special changes.
But a sort of intangible joy and reunion from a mindset perspective, like slowly flowing honey water, the sweet scent inviting anticipation.
“But what should I do next…”
Xu Xi gazed up at the sky.
Nearer to winter, the sky appeared distant and pure, with clouds drifting noiselessly, gradually dragging time into a more distant future.
Giving Xu Xi’s weary thoughts a brief respite.
“The first simulation ended, and to strengthen myself and better develop in reality, I chose to join the Supernatural United Bureau.”
“The second simulation ended, my strength reached new heights, and I reunited with my teacher, Krisha, and Moli.”
“As for the current real world.”
“Even if I don’t train or even become an ordinary person, nothing can threaten me anymore.”
“Thinking about it, there aren’t many things left to do.”
Instant success came too quickly.
Like a sudden storm.
Before Xu Xi could react, everything was already handed to him.
After pondering for a while, he realized there were only three main things left to do.
Train to enhance strength, help his master resolve the Boundary Ruins, and enjoy the peaceful, beautiful daily life with his sister and the witch.
“This, is not bad.”
Xu Xi smiled.
He had always liked peaceful life.
That’s why in the martial world, he led the Living Army to seek that extremely slim chance of survival.
The real world had no such despair, with the true immortal Li Wanshou suppressing everything, and in the end, his sister and the witch would always be there to back him up.
Xu Xi could stop being so tired.
Relax, unwind, and spend peaceful days in his own way.
“I feel a bit sleepy…” Heavy eyelids succumbed to an uncontrollable heaviness, slowly drooping and closing, expressing infinite tiredness.
Xu Xi fell asleep in the rocking chair.
A wave of energy spread silently.
Enveloping Xu Xi, protecting him from the cold winds and all the noises that might disturb him.
…………
Xu Xi had a good sleep.
Awakening with refreshed spirit and overflowing vitality.
Like being struck by thousands of life laws.
Or popping a thousand immortal pills.
Though the description was a bit exaggerated, Xu Xi genuinely recovered well, the fatigue from the third simulation completely gone upon waking.
Peaceful life returned once again.
The brilliant sunlight, the chilling wind, the swaying blood dragon grass in the yard, the silver-haired witch with an expressionless face, and the obedient sister begging for candy.
These elements collectively formed Xu Xi’s daily routine.
Still.
During this time, Xu Xi didn’t do absolutely nothing.
He once took his sister to the headquarters of the Supernatural United Bureau in the capital city to meet Li Wanshou, who was leisurely drinking tea.
In the old man’s dumbfounded gaze, Xu Xi shared the truth about the destruction of the immortal realm and the remarkable feats of Xu Moli.
“This, I, she!”
The old man was a true immortal.
Yet, his appearance showed no hint of immortal elegance.
He was left in disarray, his hair scattered, alternating between beating the table in anguish and sighing in resignation, as if experiencing drastic ups and downs in an instant.
Meanwhile.
Xu Xi also asked the two girls to help find the trace of the martial world.
“Moli, Krisha, finding the martial world is entrusted to you.”
“Yes, Brother.”
“As you wish, Teacher.”
Although, through the simulator’s summary screen, Xu Xi knew Wu Yingxue had achieved supreme status, the simulator provided too little information, making it hard for Xu Xi to feel at ease.
So he entrusted his sister and the witch with searching the vast chaos for the existence of the martial arts world, to revive past regrets.
To see those lively, sweetly laughing people once more, driven by the desire for survival.
It just so happened.
Right after Xu Xi asked the two girls, a new martial-based Boundary Ruins descended upon Earth in the real world.
