Chapter 170: Wu Yingxue Is Still On Her Way

The pitter-patter of rain, accompanied by the howling wind, echoed like the restless heart of a young girl. But someone held an umbrella, its slightly tilted surface blocking all the assaults of wind and rain, standing before Mo Li. Thus, that sense of dissatisfaction transformed into pure joy.

“Elder Brother.”

Her fingers gently tugged at the hem of Xu Xi’s clothes. Just like in childhood, she followed closely by his side, inseparable.

“What is it, Mo Li?”

“I want to eat the food you cook today.”

“Alright, then I’ll cook for you today.”

Xu Xi agreed with a smile. The heavy rain continued to pour, water droplets rolling off the oil-paper umbrella one after another, crystal clear and translucent, adding a faint glow to the gray, rainy world.

The two walked leisurely. With each step, a few water droplets splashed. Drip, drip, until they reached the courtyard gate, the rain finally began to ease.

Xu Xi looked up, first at the gloomy sky, then closed the oil-paper umbrella, gently shaking it a few times before placing it by the door.

“Let’s go inside, Mo Li, don’t catch a cold.”

“I know, Elder Brother.”

Xu Xi pushed the door open and entered, while the girl stood behind him, gently pushing his back, urging her foolish elder brother once again.

How could she possibly catch a cold? Really…

The girl hummed softly, just like in childhood, pushing her elder brother into the house, pestering Xu Xi to make her something delicious.

Such a life seemed quite beautiful.

The Female Immortal thought so.

…

At night, Xu Xi personally cooked an extremely lavish meal. Thanks to the master-level culinary skills honed during the second simulation by the [Wisdom of Mortals], Xu Xi was quite confident in his cooking.

His sister ate happily, while the Witch’s expression remained calm, but the subtle tremors in her eyebrows suggested she was pleased too.

However, during the meal, Cressa’s gaze often lingered on Xu Xi, or she would observe Xu Mo Li for a while.

Her face showed confusion, a look of half-understanding.

…

The next day, Xu Xi went out again to check on the people of the Army of Survival, ensuring they were doing well.

After discussions and inquiries, the Supernatural Administration Bureau of Yanshan City formulated an initial resettlement plan.

In the outskirts, they built houses exclusively for the people of the Army of Survival.

It wasn’t that the authorities refused to let them into the city, but the difference between the Martial World and the real world was too vast. The people of the Army of Survival couldn’t accept the high-rise buildings of the city, calling them iron beasts that devoured souls and flesh.

Thus, the final plan by the Supernatural Administration Bureau was to build a cluster of ancient-style buildings in the outskirts for the people of the Army of Survival to live in.

“Brother Xu, that house is much bigger than mine!”

“I’ll be living in a big house from now on!”

A Niu was thrilled, standing before Xu Xi, excitedly waving his arms.

A Niu’s mother was equally happy, counting on her fingers, muttering that she could finally find a wife for A Niu.

Seeing this, Xu Xi’s gaze softened.

“This is great…”

“Everyone is living the life they wanted…”

In a daze, Xu Xi recalled the third simulation, thinking of those gaunt and hungry faces. But now, those faces were no longer dark and emaciated.

They were filled with a light called “hope.”

This was exactly what Xu Xi wanted to see, what he had always longed to see.

…

In the following days, the resettlement of the Army of Survival progressed smoothly step by step.

The poor people lived in clean houses they had never dared to dream of before.

The cold and hungry people ate “luxurious” full meals and had warm winter clothes to fend off the cold.

Winter arrived.

The biting cold wind was even harsher than in autumn.

But the people’s faces no longer showed despair and numbness, only anticipation for the future and gratitude towards Xu Xi.

“Brother Xi is such a good man!”

They praised Xu Xi.

Their dark faces smiled more happily than ever.

Xu Xi not only solved their food and housing problems but also established a cooperative relationship between the people of the Army of Survival and the Supernatural Administration Bureau, providing them with high wages.

It was a salary that the once-exploited people had never dared to imagine.

They were anxious, feeling as if it were an unreal dream.

After confirming it was real, they thanked Xu Xi in the most simple and sincere way.

Xu Xi received the familiar vegetable buns and plain soup again after a long time.

The method of preparation hadn’t changed, but the ingredients had improved, making the taste slightly better, just like the people’s lives, carrying an increasingly sweet flavor.

Xu Xi tasted it with a smile.

Amid the people’s expectant expressions, he praised the improved taste.

From then on, the people of the Army of Survival settled permanently in Yanshan City, enjoying a stable living environment, no longer needing to fear or struggle for survival.

The only regret was that Xu Xi still hadn’t found Wu Yingxue.

…

“Where has that child gone?”

In the courtyard, in the study.

The passage of time was always swift.

Autumn in Yanshan City was already cold and lonely, and now, entering winter, the courtyard seemed even more desolate.

Xu Xi put down his pen and paper.

His gaze turned to the courtyard outside the window.

He could clearly see the branches that once bore green leaves now bare, the flowers withered and fallen, only clusters of Dragon Blood Grass standing resilient.

The grass seeds watered with dragon blood were indeed extraordinary.

Even in the cold winter, they showed no signs of withering.

Xu Xi stood up, pushed open the double wooden windows, and the cold air rushed into the room, circulating once before dispelling the study’s stuffiness.

“Yingxue is not a child, she must have her own considerations, so I don’t need to worry.”

Xu Xi took a deep breath.

The unique chill of winter instantly cleared his mind, dispelling the confusion from his earlier research.

Xu Xi glanced at the pen and paper on the table, looking at the cultivation notes he had recorded, and couldn’t help but recall his recent life.

Cressa remained the same as before, silently doing household chores, always handing Xu Xi the most crucial items when he needed them most.

Mo Li was still pursuing her grand mission of severing boundaries.

But recently, she often stayed by Xu Xi’s side.

Her gaze was alert, her expression guarded, as if wary of some unknown danger.

Xu Xi didn’t understand, thinking his sister was just overly concerned for him. He was pleased that his sister and the Witch got along well, with no conflicts so far.

“I wonder what that dream really meant?”

Xu Xi closed the window, recalling a dream he had long ago, where his sister battled the Witch.

He had thought it was a sign of some danger, but now it seemed like just a simple, absurd dream?

Xu Xi laughed bitterly.

He glanced at the calendar hanging on the wall: “Time flies, it’s almost New Year. Let me think…”

“I’ll go out and buy some things, prepare some New Year gifts, and relieve the monotony of cultivation.”
