You begin to reorganize Forest Sword Peak, and a female disciple of the Pill Hall on Forest Sword Peak is punished to work as a fire tender for three months because she stepped into the Pill Hall with her left foot first.
【Other disciples are so frightened that they tremble and henceforth always step through the door with their right foot】
【You focus on your cultivation and welcome your first New Year since joining the Heavenly Sword Sect. You choose to stay in your cave dwelling and spend it with your sister, Xu Moli. You cook a lavish meal】
【The girl is overjoyed, eating bite after bite without stopping】
The winter world is filled with desolation.
Leaves fall, flowers wither, and the once lush forests are now bare branches swaying uncertainly in the cold wind, gradually covered in layers of snow, turning pure white.
Xu Xi doesn't particularly like winter.
Especially after entering the simulation world.
During the five years living in Blackstone City, Xu Xi's income was meager, barely enough to sustain himself and his sister.
Naturally, the siblings couldn't afford heating charcoal.
Back then, Xu Xi would go out of the city every day to pick up coal scraps from the road or gather scattered twigs to bring home and start a small fire.
Xu Xi still clearly remembers.
On those days when snowflakes swirled and tiny icicles entered his lungs with each breath.
There was always a small figure, shivering in the cold wind, crouching at the door of the wooden hut, waiting for Xu Xi.
And when Xu Xi returned, the figure would vigorously rub their little hands, warm them against Xu Xi's purple-tinged cheeks, and smile to welcome him home.
The cold wind remains fierce.
Unchanged.
But during those days, Xu Xi would always receive temporary warmth, enough to keep moving forward.
Now, with Xu Xi having joined the Heavenly Sword Sect as a prodigy with the Heavenly Spiritual Root and having a self-sustaining cave dwelling, he no longer needs to worry about the cold wind.
However, seeing the snow outside, he still feels a momentary daze, recalling the past hardships.
"Brother!"
The lively voice of the girl interrupts Xu Xi's memories.
"I'm here, what's wrong?"
"If Brother doesn't eat soon, the food will get cold."
Six-year-old Xu Moli pretends to be serious, wagging her little finger: "You can't do that, you have to eat while it's hot."
Xu Xi is slightly stunned, then smiles: "Alright."
The chopsticks cross.
A tacit mutual serving of dishes.
Before spring arrives, the cold winter days are indeed difficult, but staying close to each other for warmth, spring will surely come.
【You and your sister spend a warm New Year together】
As the old year gives way to the new, you breathe in clear energy to gather a perfect Dao foundation, setting a record for the fastest foundation building in the Heavenly Sword Sect. You become a foundation building cultivator.
【You receive a reward from your master, Li Wanshou, gaining a supreme flying sword and a matching defensive artifact】
You don't forget your past promise. After obtaining the flying sword, you take your sister on a sword flight. Afterwards, you ask her how she felt, and she replies that flying with you was very happy.
【Winter passes, spring arrives, and everything comes back to life】
As a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, you take on more responsibilities within the sect. To keep your sister from being bored and for her future, you send Xu Moli to the school hall.
【On her first day of school, she looks at you with teary eyes, mistakenly thinking you're abandoning her. Fortunately, the misunderstanding is eventually cleared up】
【After some time, your sister learns a lot in the school hall, showing her innate intelligence and quick thinking. You feel comforted, with only one concern: your sister seems a bit solitary and hasn't made any friends her age】
【You express worry about your sister's future】
"Brother, is life very long?"
"Very, very long."
"Brother, is life very short?"
"Very, very short."
"Hmm, how can it be both long and short? It feels so strange."
"That's just how life is."
The girl doesn't understand, furrowing her little eyebrows for a long time before giving her answer: "Life is so troublesome. Moli just wants to be with Brother, doesn't need any friends."
【The girl has her own standards, and you can't do anything about it, so you let it be】
【Time flies quickly. You and the girl spend one year after another in the Heavenly Sword Sect, growing closer】
In the seventh year of your transmigration, you are 13 years old, your cultivation advances once again, and the girl is 7 years old, completing all the school hall courses in one year.
In the eighth year of your transmigration, you are 14, breaking through to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, and with the Withered Vine Sword, you overpower a pseudo-Core Formation expert, earning the title of Golden Core Cultivator prematurely. You remain unmoved.
【The girl is 8, starting to help you with miscellaneous tasks on Forest Sword Peak. Due to her adorable appearance, she is greatly loved by the disciples of Forest Sword Peak】
In your ninth year of crossing over, you are 15 years old, truly maturing, shedding your past childish appearance. Wherever you go, you receive praise from both elders and juniors. You outshine the new talents of the Demonic Path, becoming a rising star of the Righteous Path.
【The girl is 9, showing no talent for cultivation, she decides to help you manage Forest Sword Peak. She succeeds and does it well】
In the tenth year of your transmigration, you're 16, and the girl is 10.
Time flows year by year.
Days get better little by little.
Xu Xi is satisfied with this life.
Not only can he keep growing stronger, improving the reward evaluation of his simulated life, but he can also take good care of Xu Moli, allowing this child to live better.
Even though he knows this is a fake simulation world.
The experiences between people and the emotions that arise are real.
Therefore.
Xu Xi wants to make the girl's life as good as possible.
"Time really flies..."
"In the blink of an eye, it's been ten years, and Moli's tenth birthday has arrived."
"It feels like just yesterday when I found her during the famine."
In the tenth year of his arrival in the simulation world.
Xu Xi is 16.
He looks up at the sun in the sky, feeling sentimental, and flies towards his cave dwelling on his sword, preparing to give his adorable sister a birthday gift.
Everything is beautiful, everything is going smoothly.
It should have been like this.
But...
"Is... Brother... here...?"
"Moli... hurts so much..."
When Xu Xi enters the cave dwelling, he doesn't see the usual adorable figure waiting for him as usual.
After a few more steps, he discovers the girl lying on the ground.
Her face is pale.
Blood flows from the corner of her mouth, staining it with an eerie red.
It looks very bad, very dangerous, and it seems impossible to ignore.
"Moli!" With the fastest speed, Xu Xi rushes to the girl's side, taking out all the healing items he has to try and save her, sparing no effort.
Fortunately.
This is effective.
After half an hour of drowsiness, the ten-year-old Xu Moli slowly wakes up.
She looks at Xu Xi weakly, forcing a smile, her voice faint: "Moli knew... Brother... Brother would definitely come to save Moli."
"So Moli kept waiting..."
"It's so good, Moli finally waited..."
