Chapter 138: Failure Is the Mother of Success

Unlike the previous two simulations.

As soon as Xu Xi broke through and emerged, his sister and the witch came to greet him.

In this martial arts simulation, everyone had their own tasks. While Xu Xi was in seclusion, Wu Yingxue took charge of the army, and Little Master Wu and others were also fulfilling their duties.

It was quiet during seclusion.

It was equally quiet upon emerging.

What greeted Xu Xi was only the gentle warmth of the sun and the rustling of leaves in the light breeze.

That was enough.

“I truly hope this tranquility can last forever,” Xu Xi thought as he walked out of the official residence. The sunlight, divided by the eaves, left only a tiny golden brilliance falling on Xu Xi’s shoulder.

The sunlight was so warm.

It seemed even the cold stone bricks and silent tiles were imbued with life.

Shining brightly in the dust-filled light.

The next day.

Xu Xi remained in Pingshui County, waiting for the autumn harvest to end. The girl, upon hearing the news of his emergence, hurried over from another county.

“Master, have you grown stronger again?!”

Contrary to the witch’s calm tone.

Wu Yingxue’s voice was filled with excitement, brimming with blessings and joy, making it clear that her voice was laden with happiness.

“Yes, a small breakthrough.”

In the fields on the outskirts of Pingshui County.

Xu Xi and the girl met.

Standing side by side, they gazed at the endless golden rice fields, watching the rice stalks sway in the breeze like undulating waves, rising and falling, concave and convex.

In that pure golden expanse, the girl’s red and white robes stood out strikingly.

The pale green dress from New Year’s Eve.

After all, it wasn’t the young princess’s favorite.

After repairing her martial attire, she returned to her usual image, becoming the “Little Master Wu” who slayed demons in everyone’s eyes.

“Master, are you very strong now?”

“A bit stronger, but facing the Third Stage of Innate Realm and the subsequent Human Immortal martial artists, I still have little chance of winning.”

“Hmm, still much stronger than me.”

“Yingxue, while I was away, did any problems arise in the other counties?”

“Hehe, Master, no need to worry. With me around, everything is under control!”

“That’s good.”

On the winding ridges of the fields.

Xu Xi stood, listening to Wu Yingxue’s proud report. When she finished, Xu Xi handed her a grass stalk.

“Want to try it, Yingxue?”

“This is…”

“The ‘candy’ the children from Qingniu Town specially gave me.”

Xu Xi handed one to the girl.

He then picked up the remaining ones, selecting a new one to chew gently.

“This…”

The girl was stunned.

Then, imitating Xu Xi’s gesture, she also put the grass stalk in her mouth.

A breeze blew, causing the roots of the grass stalk to sway, but the part in her mouth burst with a faint sweetness after chewing.

So magical.

Wu Yingxue’s eyes slowly widened.

Sweetness brings joy, and even a bold heroine can be deeply captivated by this brief sweetness.

“Master, this is so delicious!”

The girl finally understood why the grass stalk was called candy.

She couldn’t get enough.

Continuously chewing new grass stalks.

Until Xu Xi’s grass stalks were all chewed up by the girl.

“Though delicious, don’t overindulge,” Xu Xi patiently advised, and the girl obediently agreed.

In the following time, the two watched the undulating rice fields while discussing the development of the Army of Survival and the distant future.

About beautiful wishes.

And about nightmares of failure.

People struggling hard, bloodthirsty and brutal demons, mindless and witless monsters, martial arts that break everything.

Amidst the rustling of grass and flowers, the two talked about many things.

Gradually.

Wu Yingxue’s mood became somewhat low.

“Master, can we, the Army of Survival… really make it to the end?”

Her voice was confused, her emotions bewildered.

The young princess was once a member of the Great Qian nobility.

She knew better than anyone.

How terrifying the true foundation of the seemingly crumbling Great Qian was, far beyond what the current Army of Survival could match.

Even without the Human Immortal experts, they could destroy all the foundations of the Army of Survival.

The girl hoped to receive encouragement from Xu Xi.

But Xu Xi’s words were not what she expected.

“Yingxue, do you think there is such a thing as complete failure or complete success in this world?” Xu Xi asked, locking eyes with Wu Yingxue.

“Probably… not.”

The girl hesitated and shook her head.

“Yes, nothing ever remains completely unchanged.”

Xu Xi affirmed the girl’s answer.

After a pause.

He continued, “The Great Qian isn’t necessarily the winner, and we aren’t necessarily the losers.”

“The current situation is indeed unfavorable for us. Even just one of the thirteen provinces could ruin everything.”

“But—”

“Yingxue, many things in this world have nothing to do with winning or losing.”

“Some things, even if we know we might fail, we must still try to move forward.”

“Only then can we see the dawn.”

Xu Xi’s voice was as gentle as ever.

He didn’t promise the beauty of victory.

Nor did he promise a bright future.

But in those plain words, Wu Yingxue heard a certain strength. She suddenly smiled, recalling a phrase Xu Xi had taught her.

“Master is right.”

“After all, failure is the mother of success!”

“Even if we fail in the end, it’s nothing to regret. We can always start over!”

The girl raised her fist, full of fighting spirit.

Only Xu Xi fell silent.

So this phrase can’t be corrected, huh?

“Master, now I’m not afraid of anything! Even if I die tomorrow, I won’t even frown!”

“Yingxue, turn your head.”

“Ah, oh.”

Xu Xi bent his middle finger.

And lightly flicked the girl’s smooth forehead.

“Ouch!” Wu Yingxue covered her forehead in pain, rubbing it with her palm.

“Don’t say such unlucky things in the future, understand?” Xu Xi said.

“I understand…”

The girl didn’t dare to argue.

But based on his understanding of the girl.

Xu Xi felt she would most likely do it again.

Her fiery personality, both a flame of hatred for evil and an impulsive recklessness, rarely considered consequences.

“Yingxue, I remember your martial arts technique is incomplete, right?”

“Yes, what about it, Master?”

“You came at the right time. I want to help you deduce a new technique to replace the incomplete royal technique.”

“R-really? Can you do that, Master!”

“It’s just an attempt. Also, I have some questions about the royal family I want to confirm with you.”

…

[Wu Yingxue’s technique is incomplete. Due to losing her princess status, she can no longer obtain the subsequent royal techniques.]

[This incompleteness deeply affects her strength progression.]

[You decide to use the characteristics of your own Qi and Blood World to deduce a new technique for the girl.]

[This is a bold endeavor.]

[You rely on your Martial Practice trait, thinking it might work.]

[You decide to start with the girl’s existing Azure Dragon Gang Qi, improving or creating a new technique. The girl follows your instructions, releasing the Azure Dragon Gang Qi up close.]

[You gaze at the lifelike Azure Dragon Gang Qi, lost in thought.]
