Chapter 172: Used to Like, Still Like Now

Whatever, I don’t mind, anything goes.

These similar and repetitive phrases.

Often make people feel at a loss.

Xu Xi knew that Cressa had no ulterior motives, pure and simple.

No matter what gift Xu Xi gave her, she would gladly accept it, express her liking, and thank Xu Xi.

Even if it was just a wild grass by the roadside.

The Witch would treasure it.

The reason was none other than that it was given by Xu Xi.

Because of this, Xu Xi didn’t want to be perfunctory, to trample on the Witch’s unreserved trust with an indifferent attitude.

“Let’s continue browsing, Cressa.”

“…Yes.”

Xu Xi chose to move forward, wanting to see if there was anything worth buying inside the supermarket.

The Witch quietly followed behind.

The overhead lights were arranged in a scattered layout, neither the scorching heat of the sun nor the coldness of the crescent moon, but a silent and gentle illumination.

Slanting on Xu Xi, casting a long shadow.

The Witch followed the shadow, step by step closely behind Xu Xi, her empty eyes not attracted by the numerous goods, but always lingering on Xu Xi’s back.

Chasing the light.

Moving with the light.

“There are many things here, but I’m not very interested…”

Walking to a new product area, Xu Xi slowed down.

His eyes scanned the shelves on both sides.

Looking with a sigh.

Mo Li is supreme, Cressa is supreme, Yingxue is also supreme.

For the supreme beings who transcend the heavens, there is almost nothing in this world that could trouble them.

Whatever they want, they can create with a thought.

Whatever they want to do, it can become reality with a word.

So, Xu Xi felt conflicted, what kind of New Year’s gifts should he prepare for the three girls?

In comparison, the gifts for the Master and A Niu were easier to figure out.

Li Wanshou likes tea, so he could get a batch of tea trees later, irrigated with dragon blood, to cultivate a unique Dragon Blood Spirit Tea.

A Niu likes to eat, meat, vegetables, rice, just prepare enough food.

“Since that’s the case—”

“Then let’s prepare A Niu’s portion first.”

Xu Xi thought for a moment.

Decided to temporarily set aside the gifts for the three girls.

First, buy enough and varied food in the supermarket, and when the New Year approaches, deliver it all to A Niu’s house.

With A Niu’s gluttonous nature, he should be very happy, right?

Thinking of such a scene, Xu Xi chuckled, taking the Witch back to the cooked food and rice, flour, oil area.

…………

Compared to before.

There were more people in the supermarket.

People crowded together, blocking the originally spacious aisles, making them impassable.

There were sweet and sticky couples, families laughing and chatting, or close friends.

With the New Year approaching, there were many people wanting to stock up.

They jostled together.

Like a ball of cotton that’s hard to disperse.

Fortunately, whether it was Xu Xi or Cressa, they were not ordinary people.

When Xu Xi led the Witch forward, people would subconsciously avoid them, revealing an unobstructed path.

Thanks to this, Xu Xi quickly bought enough food, and prepared some extra, thinking of giving it to the other townsfolk of Qingniu Town.

“This amount should be enough.”

After paying.

Xu Xi packed all the items into a new Spatial Ring, to be used for future gifts.

As for the other New Year gifts.

Xu Xi felt that staying in the supermarket wouldn’t help prepare them.

At least after walking around, he didn’t see anything that met his expectations.

“However, it’s really bustling here…”, before leaving, Xu Xi looked at the crowded and chaotic crowd, his expression full of emotion.

Before this year, due to his crippled legs.

He deliberately avoided such crowded places.

Counting, it had been a long time since he had seen such a lively scene in the real world.

The noisy crowd, running children, the aroma of food, the New Year atmosphere, and—

Cressa standing beside him.

These overlapping elements reminded Xu Xi of his experiences in the magic world.

“Mentor. What… are you thinking about?”

Cressa’s eyes were somewhat blank.

Her intuition was really sharp.

Facing those beautiful but empty eyes, Xu Xi smiled: “Nothing, just suddenly thought of the life in the City of Allenson.”

“Cressa, you’ve really grown up a lot.”

Looking at the Witch’s delicate face.

Xu Xi’s mind flashed back to the once miserable scene, the dirty and smelly muddy alley, and the battered body.

A girl with a small knife, full of scars.

In a trembling and fearful voice.

Asking Xu Xi for that tiny piece of bread.

That Witch, that Cressa, really, her whole body was echoing with cries for help.

So much so that Xu Xi couldn’t ignore it.

And now.

Xu Xi could no longer see the cries for help in the Witch, although her emotions were still empty, unable to freely express joy or sorrow.

But this Witch, compared to the misery at the first meeting, had improved a lot.

Xu Xi felt comforted by this.

And sincerely hoped that the Witch could move towards a brighter future.

“Do you not like the current me?”, Cressa seemed to have misunderstood something, her lifeless face flashing with confusion.

“No, I like it very much.”

Xu Xi paused, then said: “I liked the Cressa of the past, and I still like the Cressa of now.”

“Because Cressa is very obedient and sensible, always has been, I think, such a Cressa, no one would dislike.”

Is… is that so…

The Witch’s hands overlapped on her chest, where the heart is.

Where the nervous heart exists.

Now, the heart is no longer nervous, but the Witch still maintains the original action.

Because the heart is beating faster.

“As long as the Mentor likes it…”

The delicate and slender Cressa, with a completely selfless will, responded to Xu Xi in a hollow and faint voice.

Xu Xi smiled, reaching out to place his hand on Cressa’s head, rubbing the silver-gray long hair again.

Cressa is really cute.

Making Xu Xi want to rub it a few more times.

“Let’s go, Cressa, it’s time to go home.”

“Yes, Mentor.”

The shopping completely over, Xu Xi and the Witch walked out of the supermarket door.

The wind and snow roared, the raging wind and snow seemed to engulf the whole world, making one feel the vastness of the world and the smallness of oneself.

Compared to when they came.

This wind and snow was several levels stronger.

Howling with cold, frost and snow dancing in the wind, Xu Xi had just stepped out of the supermarket door when his head was covered with scattered snowflakes.

Under the sunlight.

The black hair and the color of the snowflakes became similar.

As if in a short moment, a few strands of white hair had appeared.

This scene was something the Witch absolutely did not want to see, her lifeless eyes rippling, instantly the world turned upside down.

The storm dissipated.

The falling snow vanished.

The white snow on Xu Xi’s body was also cleaned off completely.

“Don’t like… white-haired… Mentor.”
