The breakfast ended in an oddly tense atmosphere.
The breakfast prepared by the maid.
The breakfast prepared by the witch.
Xu Xi chose to have both.
Using the laws of space and time, he took the first bite of both breakfasts simultaneously, with the same rhythm and force.
The situation was perfectly resolved.
But after breakfast, Xu Xi fell into deep thought.
Was this just a coincidence, or was it an invisible competition between the two girls?
Or perhaps, something even worse?
"Could it be..."
"Did Ailei taking me away last night leave a bad impression on Krisha?"
"Even after a night, their conflict hasn't been resolved?"
Xu Xi pondered.
Worried about such a possibility, he privately asked each girl about their thoughts on the other.
The witch paused from watering the Dragon Blood Grass.
With her hollow yet enchanting eyes, she calmly looked at Xu Xi and said, "...She's someone quite similar to me. I’m a little intrigued."
Intrigued, not resentful.
Xu Xi felt slightly reassured.
He then went to ask the maid, who was trying to plant Meteor Flowers in the courtyard soil.
She gently pressed the hair on her forehead to keep it from being blown away by the strong wind.
"...She’s a formidable opponent."
Opponent?
Was she referring to Krisha's divine combat prowess?
Indeed, Krisha, who held the authority of creation and destruction, was a formidable figure even among the highest deities.
Xu Xi thought deeply.
Perhaps the situation wasn’t as serious as he had imagined.
Both girls seemed normal, and their words didn’t suggest any hostility. It was likely just his overthinking.
That made sense.
After all, the witch and the maid were both so well-behaved.
How could there be any conflict between them?
This was just him scaring himself for no reason.
"The weather is clear, the sun is warm, today is a good day..." Xu Xi mused aloud.
Ailei's arrival increased the number of members in the courtyard by one.
Xu Xi prepared a new room for her, along with the necessary daily essentials.
"Thank you, Master," the girl said gracefully, tidying up the room's interior with precise movements.
Shortly after, to Xu Xi's confusion, the maid's body began to dissolve, reverting to the original RTX-9090 identification plate.
In its place, a new body was generated through quantum information.
"Ailei, was your previous body inconvenient?"
In response to Xu Xi's question, the maid politely explained that there was no difference between the two bodies.
She simply wanted to place the RTX-9090 plate back into the collection cabinet.
It was just something she felt like doing.
Well, if you ignored the commotion of her instantly securing the first spot, it was indeed a simple act.
"What is this? A new season of the Collection Cabinet Wars?"
In the living room, Xu Xi set down his teacup, the sound of the cup meeting the table crisp and pleasant.
While savoring the lingering aroma of tea in his mouth, he quietly released his spiritual energy to observe the invisible battle within the collection cabinet.
"Krisha and Ailei are fighting so fiercely?"
"They’ve firmly secured the first and second spots."
"In comparison, Mo Li and Ying Xue’s movements are much quieter, almost like—"
"Spectators?"
Xu Xi chuckled.
He couldn’t quite grasp the girls' thoughts.
But he found such daily life peaceful and amusing.
He liked it.
And he enjoyed it.
"I don’t need to worry about simulations for now."
"First, I’ll focus on advancing my cultivation and martial arts realms."
"I can feel it—the breakthrough is close at hand, and I could ascend further at any moment."
…………
In autumn, everything grew quieter and more profound.
The golden sunlight was warm and gentle, draping everything in a soft veil, but the warmth was quickly shattered whenever a cold wind blew.
Dead branches swayed in the wind.
Leaves were blown to the ground.
Xu Xi's life moved at a slow and steady pace.
In between his rigorous cultivation, he often tended to the Dragon Blood Grass in the courtyard and the Meteor Flowers Ailei had recently planted.
When in the mood, he would sit by the pond, leisurely casting a fishing line.
"Is that... a Quantum Leviathan?"
"And a Poseidon Fish?"
That afternoon, the sound of a light knock on the head was particularly crisp.
"Ailei, don’t sneak these in anymore. And you too, Krisha."
"...Yes, Master."
"...Yes, Mentor."
By the pond, Xu Xi looked exasperated as he scolded the maid and the witch.
Not far away, Wu Yingxue was munching on sunflower seeds.
Xu Mo Li wasn’t present; she was still busy in the Realm of Severance and only returned on rare occasions.
…………
Time passed, and the new maid gradually adapted to life in the courtyard.
However, the overlapping service attributes of the domestic android and the witch’s behavior led to Xu Xi often receiving double the service.
Sometimes it was two cups of hot tea.
Sometimes it was two servings of food.
Xu Xi found it amusing, as the scenes were just too comical.
Meanwhile, after long and arduous cultivation, Xu Xi’s realm finally began to break through.
On the cultivation side, he reached the Great Ascension Stage.
On the martial arts side, he condensed a second inner world.
Both extraordinary systems were now just one step away from true transformation and ascension.
"Although, with my current strength and the presence of Mo Li and the others, safety is no longer a concern."
"But when it comes to power, you can never have too much."
"It’s always good to get a little stronger."
In the first month of winter, Xu Xi slowly rose from his cultivation state.
Above the courtyard, a thick, ominous tribulation cloud rapidly formed. But before Xu Xi could react, the cloud dispersed on its own, as if fleeing in terror.
"By my calculations, Earth has been evolving for several years now."
"The once-naive planetary consciousness has become increasingly sentient, and it doesn’t dare approach Yanshan City anymore."
Xu Xi sighed.
He had actually wanted to experience the legendary process of tempering his body through heavenly tribulation, as often described in web novels.
But with several supreme beings around, the heavenly tribulation didn’t dare come close.
Tap—
Tap—
Xu Xi walked out of the cultivation chamber, and the slightly harsh sunlight danced on his eyelashes, causing him to squint instinctively.
A familiar voice came from not far away.
Lively.
Excited.
"Sir, I need to talk to you!" Wu Yingxue ran over, stopping hurriedly in front of Xu Xi.
Her red-and-white martial robe was as spirited and bold as Xu Xi remembered, and her carefree demeanor hadn’t changed a bit.
"What is it, Yingxue? Take your time."
"Sir, it’s about Niu!"
The girl explained that the people of the Survival Army living in the suburbs of Yanshan City wanted Xu Xi to come over and serve as a witness.
Little Niu, the honest man who once followed Xu Xi, was now preparing to propose.
Xu Xi: "Huh?"
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
esick Sect? Well, at least it's considered a respectable orthodox sect. Wait a minute— What kind of vibe are you all giving off? Shouldn’t this be a love-struck, romance-obsessed sect? Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining. Once you sever your useless spiritual root, you can officially become an outer sect disciple." "The Great Dao is merciless. Don’t let a worthless spiritual root waste your essence and spirit, hindering your cultivation." Is this really the Lovesick Sect? ... Three years later, Su Ji sat in the seat of the Lovesick Sect’s sect master, sighing with emotion. His rise to this position all started when his junior sister adamantly insisted on preserving his "spiritual root." "Mmm... Senior Brother, what’s our relationship now?" "Stop talking. Keep going." "By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.
e school belle recognized by the whole school, a genius girl from the kendo club. She also has a hidden identity, the youngest legendary demon hunter. Chen Shuo just transmigrated and found himself turned into a weak, helpless little vampire. He was caught by Su Xiyen and taken home at the very beginning. Since then, Chen Shuo's life creed only had two items. "First, classmate Su Xiyen is always right." "Second, if classmate Su Xiyen is wrong, please refer back to item one." Many years later, Chen Shuo, who had turned back into a human, led a pair of twins to appear in front of all the vampires to share the secret of how he turned back into a human. "It's simple, I tricked a female demon hunter into becoming my wife!"
+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power. Bad news: He’d immediately fallen into the clutches of a certain villainess. Good news: Said villainess possessed peerless beauty and royal status. Bad news: She was absolutely monstrous!!! In the frozen wilderness, Yang An knelt beneath Qin Guo’er’s feet, drenched in sweat despite the cold. Desperately clutching her porcelain-perfect foot—the very one poised to crush his throat—he could only think: How do I survive this?! Need answers NOW!
