"Brother, do you like it?"
The girl's stunningly beautiful face was filled with anticipation as she waited for Xu Xi's response.
"Yes, I really like it."
Xu Xi spoke in a gentle tone, reaching out to pinch his sister's cheek: "This gift is very helpful to me, really thank you, Moli."
Xu Xi was telling the truth.
This was not just sweet talk to please her.
This time, Xu Moli's update to Eternity's Tear was truly extraordinary.
The enhancement that helped Xu Xi the most was the strengthening of the Five Elements Spirit Roots.
Thanks to this.
Xu Xi's Wood Heavenly Spirit Root had transformed into a Five Elements Heavenly Spirit Root, doubling his cultivation speed.
Among the three supernatural systems, Xu Xi's cultivation level was the lowest. But now, with the assistance of the Five Elements Heavenly Spirit Root, he might be able to catch up.
At the very least.
He wouldn't be as much of a burden as before.
"As long as my brother likes it," Xu Moli's voice was soft as she stood at the doorway, "my brother's likes are more important than anything else."
For the girl, her brother's happiness was her happiness.
So at this moment.
Xu Moli smiled brightly, feeling satisfied as she listened to the slow and gentle words of thanks, feeling content as she backed away, her footsteps growing lighter with joy.
"Goodnight, brother."
She playfully bid farewell.
Her gaze reflected Xu Xi's face.
Under Xu Xi's gaze, her figure gradually faded until it disappeared into the air.
Did she return to her room to rest? Or did she go to the chaos to perform the world-slaying task?
"Goodnight, Moli."
Xu Xi softly bid farewell too, wondering if he should find time to talk to his sister, to persuade her to rest appropriately instead of immersing herself in the grand mission of slaying universes.
"I hope that child will listen to me."
In the silence.
Xu Xi closed the door.
"Click," he turned off the light in the bedroom. The room, previously illuminated by warm light, was instantly invaded by the dark night.
Xu Xi had just laid down, pulling up the bedding, ready to sink into a deep sleep.
Another knock sounded.
It was regular.
Very polite.
"Master, are you asleep?" Outside the door was the voice of a witch.
In the silence of the dark night, the witch's voice was particularly clear, like a silent stream gently lapping against the bank of the night's veil.
Bringing fragments, taking away emotions.
"Krisha?" Xu Xi roughly knew the witch's purpose.
He got up from bed, opened the door for the witch, and as expected, the witch's answer was the same as Xu Xi had anticipated.
"Master..."
The witch with gray-silver hair stood quietly, her hands folded in front of her, her expression calm: "I came... to give you a New Year's gift..."
The night was a huge devourer.
Everywhere it reached, everything became quiet, all sounds were swallowed by the night.
Only the outside snow and the witch's murmur echoed together in the quiet room.
"Krisha, are you talking about the Crown?"
Xu Xi pondered and asked.
"Ah..."
Krisha tilted her head slightly, her eyes blank and confused, a few strands of hair fell over her heterochromatic eyes.
The sea-blue waves flickering against her chest reflected the deep, mysterious glow emanating from the necklace.
The witch hadn't expected.
That Xu Xi would know her intentions.
"Is... she... here..."
When it came to matters concerning Xu Xi, the witch was very intelligent, no longer as clumsy as usual.
But whether Xu Moli was present or not.
The witch did not care. What she truly cared about was whether her feelings could be conveyed to Xu Xi.
"Master, please allow me..."
Krisha sought Xu Xi's permission, extending her slender fingers, gently holding the necklace formed by countless crowns, granting it even more authority.
Ding Dong——

What?
Is it really that powerful?
Based on previous experiences with Eternity's Tear, Xu Xi had already prepared himself mentally.
He had thought that this time, the witch's gift would allow him to maintain a calm facade.
But it turned out.
In the face of such a luxurious gift, there could be no calm.
"The originally fixed temporal perception has turned into progressively increasing hyperspatial perception, and it's permanent?"
Xu Xi's current state of mind was exactly the same as when he first taught Krisha meditation.
If doubt could be materialized.
Then at this very moment.
Xu Xi's head would undoubtedly be flashing with a series of question marks, in all colors.
Is this for real? Krisha is this powerful?
"Master..." The witch blinked blankly, "Don't you like it?"
The witch had no idea what kind of astonishing feat she had accomplished, only worrying that Xu Xi might dislike her gift.
"I really like it."
Xu Xi smiled and shook his head, giving the witch a positive reply.
"Krisha, the gift you prepared is very useful to me."
"Your feelings, I have truly felt, thank you for always thinking of me."
The hem of her skirt swayed in the dim corridor.
The sea-blue necklace hanging from her chest reflected a hazy, faint glow, the light of the sea-blue gem, but also the witch's joy reflected through her emotions.
"That's great..."
An unchanged 17-year-old appearance, a consistently youthful face.
It seemed for a moment.
Her lips slightly lifted.
But that must have been an illusion. Xu Xi's divine perception and mental strength hadn't detected a smile from the witch; it was merely a momentary misdirection.
"I'm sorry for disturbing your rest."
After delivering the New Year's gift, Krisha backed away, bidding Xu Xi goodnight, her sidelong glance sweeping over the Eternity's Tear and the red ribbon.
"May you be well..."
Her voice was light, like a gentle evening breeze.
Having politely bid Xu Xi farewell, Krisha walked down the corridor to the other end, disappearing into the darkness's depths. The sound of a door opening came from afar, the witch returning to her room.
The witch was gone.
But Xu Xi's drowsiness wasn't as strong anymore.
He returned to the bedroom, looking down at his "equipment," the Eternity's Tear tied around his left wrist, the Dust Starlight bound to his right, and the Supreme Crown hanging around his neck.
Three luxurious gifts from three supreme beings.
All simultaneously boosting Xu Xi.
"Am I eating too much of this luxurious gift?" Xu Xi hesitated slightly.
Originally just numerical boosts, now it's supplemented with mechanics. Don't talk about Earth, even across all realms and timelines of the multiverse, Xu Xi felt like he could walk sideways.
Luxury Gift Collection.
Terrifyingly powerful!
