Chapter 164: Does the Mentor Really Have a Second Younger Sister?

“Looking at it this way, it doesn’t feel so empty anymore.”

The sunlight is thin and gentle, softly bright.

Like countless fine threads.

It brushes over the large wooden display cabinet, illuminating the contents clearly, every detail visible.

Xu Xi stands there, scanning from left to right, passing over the sugar jar, magic staff, and paper flower inside the cabinet.

A strong sense of time rushing by overwhelms him.

From the perspective of the real world, it hasn’t even been a year since Xu Xi obtained the “Beautiful Life Simulator.”

But if you count the experiences from the simulation world, the three lifetimes Xu Xi has lived add up to a considerable length.

The simulator is truly miraculous.

Though it has nothing to do with the word “beautiful.”

It has indeed helped Xu Xi gain strength.

At the same time, it has also been continuously expanding Xu Xi’s collection.

As Xu Xi looks at the display cabinet before him, a thought pops into his mind: given enough time, will the compartments in the cabinet be completely filled?

It feels quite interesting.

“Mentor, what did you put in there…?”

Cressa’s voice carries a hint of confusion.

The witch doesn’t quite understand where Xu Xi got the paper flower or why he placed it in the display cabinet.

The aura emanating from it.

Makes the witch somewhat concerned.

“It’s an item temporarily entrusted to me by an old acquaintance,” Xu Xi thinks for a moment before giving this explanation, then walks out of the room.

In his view, the paper flower’s placement is temporary; it will eventually return to the princess.

But the witch doesn’t seem to think so.

Neither does the Female Immortal.

After Xu Xi leaves, Cressa remains in the room, quietly gazing at the display cabinet, focusing on the flawless paper flower in the third compartment.

Buzz—

Ripples form in space-time as a faint, ethereal figure steps into the room, dressed in simple, flowing robes.

“Do you know it?”

The witch’s voice is calm and indifferent.

She doesn’t turn to look at the newcomer, still focused on the paper flower before her.

“No, I was about to ask you,” Xu Moli walks to the witch’s side, also staring at the newly appeared paper flower.

At this moment, simultaneously.

Two eternal supreme beings have similar yet opposite thoughts.

“Does the mentor really have a second sister?”

“Does my elder brother really have a second disciple?”

The atmosphere grows strange.

Both the witch and the Female Immortal fall into deep contemplation.

——————

After leaving the bedroom, Xu Xi walks alone into the courtyard, basking in the brilliant sunlight, and sits down on a rocking chair in partial shade.

The simulated injuries don’t carry over to the real world.

But the exhaustion from overexertion.

Still echoes in his mind.

Leaving Xu Xi feeling weary.

“Drinking Cressa’s hot tea helped a little, but I still need to rest,” Xu Xi mutters to himself, lying back on the rocking chair to rest, quietly observing the late autumn scenery of the real world.

The autumn wind howls, rustling the Dragon Blood Grass in the courtyard.

The chill grows more pronounced, transitioning toward the harsh cold of winter.

It won’t be long before winter fully arrives in the real world, followed by the New Year.

Xu Xi looks forward to it.

In the simulation world, he, Mo Li, and Cressa have experienced many New Year’s Eves, but this will be the first one in the real world.

Xu Xi feels it’s quite meaningful.

Not that anything special will happen during the real world’s New Year.

But it’s an intangible, heartfelt reunion and joy, like slowly flowing honey, its sweetness drifting in the air, full of anticipation.

“But what should I do next…”

Xu Xi looks up at the sky.

As winter approaches, the sky appears high and clear, with white clouds silently drifting, bit by bit, pulling time toward a more distant future.

Giving Xu Xi’s weary thoughts a brief moment of emptiness.

“After the first simulation ended, I chose to join the Supernatural Administration Bureau to strengthen my power and better develop in the real world.”

“After the second simulation ended, my power reached new heights, and I reunited with my teacher, Cressa, and Mo Li.”

“In the current real world.”

“Even if I stop cultivating or revert to being an ordinary person, there’s nothing left that can threaten me.”

“Thinking about it, there doesn’t seem to be much left to do.”

The easy life came too quickly.

Like a sudden storm.

Before Xu Xi could react, the feast was already served.

After much thought, he realizes there are roughly only three things left to do.

Cultivate to increase his strength, help his master deal with the Boundary Ruins, and enjoy the peaceful, beautiful daily life with his sister and the witch.

“That’s not so bad.”

Xu Xi smiles.

He has always preferred a peaceful life.

That’s why, in the Martial World, he led the Army of Survival to seek out even the faintest glimmer of hope.

The real world lacks that kind of despair, with Li Wanshou, a True Immortal, suppressing everything, and in the end, his sister and the witch as a safety net.

Xu Xi doesn’t have to push himself so hard anymore.

He can relax and spend his peaceful days in his own way.

“I feel a bit sleepy…” His heavy eyelids become uncontrollable, slowly drooping and closing, speaking of endless exhaustion.

Xu Xi falls asleep on the rocking chair.

A ripple spreads silently.

Covering Xu Xi, protecting him, shielding him from the cold wind and any noise that might disturb him.

…………

Xu Xi has a good sleep.

When he wakes up, his spirits are high, and his body feels unusually energetic.

As if he’s been struck by a thousand life laws.

Or as if he’s swallowed a thousand immortal pills.

This description might be exaggerated, but Xu Xi has indeed recovered well, with the exhaustion from the third simulation completely gone upon waking.

The peaceful life returns once more.

The brilliant sunlight, the chilly wind, the swaying Dragon Blood Grass in the courtyard, the expressionless silver-haired witch, and the sweet sister begging for candy.

These elements together make up Xu Xi’s daily life.

Of course.

During this time, Xu Xi hasn’t been completely idle.

He once took his sister to the Supernatural Administration Bureau Headquarters in the capital to meet Li Wanshou, who was leisurely drinking tea.

Under the old man’s stunned gaze, Xu Xi shared the truth about the destruction of the Immortal Realm and the great deeds Xu Moli had accomplished.

“This, I, she!”

The old man, despite being a True Immortal, shows no trace of immortal grace.

He’s disheveled, his hair loose, sometimes slamming the table in anguish, sometimes sighing in resignation, as if he’s experienced a rollercoaster of emotions in an instant.

At the same time.

Xu Xi also asked the two girls to help search for traces of the Martial World.

“Mo Li, Cressa, I’ll leave the task of finding the Martial World to you.”

“Understood, elder brother.”

“Yes, Mentor.”

Although, through the simulator’s summary screen, Xu Xi knows that Wu Yingxue has achieved supremacy, the information revealed by the simulator is too limited, leaving Xu Xi uneasy.

So he asks his sister and the witch.

To search through the vast chaos for the existence of the Martial World, to revive past regrets.

To once again see those lively, foolishly happy people striving to survive.

Quite coincidentally.

Just as Xu Xi finishes asking the two girls, a new Boundary Ruin from the Martial World descends upon Earth in the real world.
