Chapter 179: When the Sir Calls Me, I Naturally Have to Respond

There was no tearful reunion.

No surge of emotions.

It was sudden.

Yet calm.

Like a quiet afternoon nap, being gently awakened from a deep slumber.

Upon waking, time remained unchanged.

Familiar faces were still familiar.

The years had not altered a thing.

Yes.

This was never a reunion after parting, but rather waking from a slightly longer dream. Thus, the girl called out naturally, and Xu Xi smiled warmly.

“I’m awake, Yingxue.”

At the moment of bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new.

The long-slumbering Great Master Xu finally opened his eyes to gaze upon the princess once more.

She smiled, radiantly.

Though she should have grown more mature, in front of Xu Xi, she displayed the same lively demeanor as before, hopping over to sit beside him.

Under the dim night sky, she watched the starlight flickering on the ground with Xu Xi.

Not forgetting to tease him about his love for sleep.

“Master, you’ve slept far too long.”

“I almost fell asleep waiting.”

Wu Yingxue said, making a yawning gesture, her red-and-white robes stretching out, still as fiery as Xu Xi remembered.

“Sorry, my bad.”

Xu Xi smiled, offering no defense.

He knew.

He had indeed “slept” for far too long.

So long that the people of the Army of Survival, and the princess who worked tirelessly for them, had waited countless days and nights.

Fortunately, the tragedy had ended.

Everyone reunited in a beautiful, real world.

After a pause, Xu Xi added, “Yingxue, thank you for waking me. You’ve worked hard.”

Xu Xi’s gratitude came so suddenly.

It left the girl momentarily stunned.

Her lips parted slightly, “It’s… it’s nothing… I didn’t do much.”

Xu Xi’s thanks weren’t just for the wake-up call, but also for the girl leading the Army of Survival and persevering during his “slumber.”

Wu Yingxue understood this layer of gratitude.

For some reason.

Her nose tingled slightly.

Her eyes felt a bit uncomfortable too.

Why was that? The princess thought it must be the warmth of the firelight on a cold winter night, finally bringing her a sense of happiness.

She smiled, baring her teeth, trying to appear nonchalant as she asked about Xu Xi’s recent life.

“Me?”

“Not much has changed, just normal cultivation and daily life. Occasionally, I chat with everyone in Qingniu Town.”

Xu Xi spoke softly, smiling.

His words were filled with trivial, everyday matters.

But the princess listened intently, with great interest.

When she heard Xu Xi had given everyone New Year’s gifts.

Wu Yingxue teased with a smile, “Master, I want a New Year’s gift too. You owe me one, or I’ll get angry.”

The girl giggled.

Her tone full of mischief.

“Which one do you want?” Xu Xi’s reply left Wu Yingxue stunned once more.

Which one?

What did that mean?

Soon, Wu Yingxue got her answer.

Xu Xi took out a Spatial Ring, pouring out many items: a folded bundle of paper flowers, a brand-new long spear, even a beautiful dress.

So many.

The items that poured out were truly numerous.

So many that Wu Yingxue was left in a daze.

“Master, are these… all for me?”

The girl’s voice was filled with bewilderment.

Xu Xi nodded, “Since you weren’t here, I didn’t know what to get you, so I prepared a bit of everything, just in case you didn’t like some.”

Night fell, the stars reflecting the gentle moonlight, everything silently waiting in the darkness.

The long-still water surface rippled once more.

Lost in the depth of the night.

Wu Yingxue had never imagined that even when she wasn’t on Earth, Xu Xi would prepare gifts for her, and so many at that.

Indeed.

Wu Yingxue smiled at Xu Xi, “Master, you’re such a big fool.”

Only such a fool would do something so foolish.

Wu Yingxue chuckled, gathering all the gifts from the ground, “Of course, I’ll take all the gifts Master gave me. Only children make choices.”

“Don’t worry, Master, I love these gifts.”

She stuck out her tongue.

Making a playful face at Xu Xi.

The girl was full of whimsy.

Then, her gaze swept around, and from the gifts the people had given Xu Xi, she precisely plucked a roasted chicken leg.

With a glistening sheen of oil, she nibbled on it delicately.

Wu Yingxue’s eating manners were much more refined than before.

As if she was deliberately maintaining something.

“Take your time, there’s more if you want,” Xu Xi smiled, watching her eat.

He noticed a bit of meat clinging to the princess’s lips, so he used water elements to gently wipe her cheek.

Cleaning the grease from her mouth.

The night was so deep.

That faces appeared dimly black.

But the people of the Army of Survival lit blazing stone towers, the firelight reflecting on their faces, casting an orange-red glow.

Wu Yingxue’s face was also tinged with a blush from the firelight.

“Yingxue, can you tell me what happened while I was asleep?”

After finishing the chicken leg.

Xu Xi asked with curiosity.

He had asked the people of the Army of Survival, but they knew little, only remembering being revived by Wu Yingxue, unaware of more details.

So.

Xu Xi decided to ask the person involved.

Wanting to know how Wu Yingxue had achieved such heights.

“That child Mo Li has been slaying demonic cultivators all along, and Cressa has been killing gods. Both their paths are not simple.”

“I wonder, what was Yingxue’s path like?”

Xu Xi waited curiously for the princess’s answer.

“Since Master asks.”

“I shall answer.”

Wu Yingxue did not refuse, and after organizing her thoughts, she began to tell Xu Xi the story of leaving the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Leading the Army of Survival out of the Demon Clan’s Heartland.

Forming an alliance with the humans of the Martial World.

After a century of arduous cultivation, leading the Army of Survival to slay the Azure Dragon, feasting on its flesh and drinking its blood.

…

As Wu Yingxue’s tale grew longer, Xu Xi’s expression became increasingly incredulous.

He had imagined.

That Wu Yingxue’s path would involve slaying demons and monsters.

But was this not too outrageous?

After slaying the Azure Dragon, Wu Yingxue’s story became increasingly bizarre, with her Internal World endlessly devouring and absorbing the Principles of Heaven and Earth, as if she were the protagonist of some tale.

No.

Is this even reasonable!?

Do I really have to die to unlock everyone else’s potential?
