Chapter 190: The Triangle Is the Most Stable Shape
"Klisa, are you getting used to living on Earth?"
"Mm, with you here, I feel very at ease."
"Is that so? You've worked hard during this time, taking care of the Courtyard for me."
"You don't need to thank me; this is what I should do…"
The blazing sun was like fire, the scorching sun burning intensely.
The earth was ignited into a golden ocean; beneath the blue sky and white clouds, faint heat waves steamed in the air.
Xu Xi and Klisa sat in a corner of the Courtyard.
Sheltered by the green vines overhead, they chatted while quietly watching the laziness of summer.
The topics were not profound; they were neither discussions about Law nor forbidden secrets about transcending eternity, but rather trivial, daily matters.
Xu Xi was very patient.
Asking about the witch's daily life and mood.
In the second simulation, Xu Xi had spent a long time with the witch, but the end of the simulation did not mean he would wash his hands of her.
For the witch who came to Earth, as well as the other two girls, Xu Xi would still show concern.
In Xu Xi's eyes.
The so-called Supreme was actually quite distant.
What he saw in his eyes was still only his younger sister who pestered him for candy all day, the witch with an indifferent expression and lack of emotion, and the impulsive princess who did things in a rush.
"Mentor, please drink some water…"
The cookies were finished.
Klisa had baked them very well; they were crispy but not greasy, soft and fragrant, but eating too many inevitably made one thirsty.
Thus, Klisa brought over the ice water she had prepared in advance.
Xu Xi drank it all in one gulp.
He felt incredibly refreshed, clear throughout his body.
"Thanks, Klisa," Xu Xi habitually thanked the witch.
Looking at the empty water glass, Xu Xi wondered if he should find a suitable opportunity to buy some more gifts for Klisa.
The witch did very well.
In every aspect, in every sense, she did very well.
So well that Xu Xi felt that if the Courtyard were to be without the witch, it would fall into a brief stagnation; precisely because of this, Xu Xi wanted to give the witch some rewards.
But the emotionally indifferent witch was not interested in anything.
The wide Witch Hat purchased before the New Year.
Was already one of the few things she was interested in.
"Klisa, is there anything you want?"
"…No," the eternal witch stared at Xu Xi for a long time, her eyes reflecting Xu Xi's face, and she shook her head gently.
An expected answer.
Xu Xi temporarily set aside the reward for the witch and turned to ask about other matters.
For example, how the witch and the other two girls were getting along, and whether there were any conflicts.
Klisa shook her head again and gave a relevant evaluation:
"…The kind person is a bit pitiful."
"…A slightly troublesome brute."
The tone was indifferent, without joy or sorrow.
From the first day Xu Xi met Klisa, she had been in this tone, and her expression had never changed.
But inexplicably.
Xu Xi felt that Klisa's tone of voice at this moment was exceptionally subtle.
"Did something go wrong with my education of this child?" Looking at the delicate face close at hand, Xu Xi stopped himself from speaking.
Never mind, it wasn't a big problem.
For three Supremes of different systems to not fight each other was already the best result.
"Klisa, please bring another glass."
"Yes, Mentor."
The witch took the empty glass from Xu Xi's hand.
Poured new ice water into the glass.
In the time that followed, Xu Xi and Klisa continued to talk; most of the time Xu Xi was speaking, and the witch was listening quietly by his side.
Occasionally, Klisa would also give some of her "work reports."
"Mentor, during your seclusion, that Red Dragon came to look for you."
"Oh? It's Xiao Hong, what did it want with me?"
"It seems it found a new Dragon Clan."
Listening to Klisa's answer, Xu Xi was slightly surprised; he didn't expect the Red Dragon to take his instructions from the New Year so seriously.
Not bad, very good.
Lexanches is a good Red Dragon.
Xu Xi was very gratified and decided to improve the Red Dragon's treatment in the future.
"However, I cannot leave for now, so I can only find time later," Xu Xi's eyes closed slightly, feeling his Mental Energy becoming increasingly turbulent.
Like a roaring storm, sublimating to the extreme in the fury.
That was the precursor to becoming a god.
"Klisa, I need to rest for a while to prepare for the god-ascension ceremony," Xu Xi looked at Klisa, "Can you guard by my side for now?"
"Please rest assured, Mentor."
The witch did not hesitate at all.
She answered quickly, her expressionless face carrying a sense of full vigilance, and the "grey rekindling" Magic Wand appeared in her hand.
Before she had done anything, the air was already buzzing incessantly because of it.
"Mm, I trust you."
Under the sunlight, the witch's beauty was impeccable; she was the shadow facing the scorching sun, and also the person standing with a staff.
Looking at the witch who was so serious, Xu Xi smiled and lay down on the chair with peace of mind.
His eyes gradually closed.
While resting his body, he was also regulating the Mental Energy within him, preparing in advance for the subsequent god-ascension.
"…" Xu Xi was so focused that he completely cast aside control of his body, immersing himself heart and soul in the world of elements and spirit.
He confidently and boldly entrusted his body to the witch's care.
"Mentor."
"I will wait for you."
"Always, always, until you wake up…"
The sunlight was quiet, the hot wind was silent.
When Xu Xi was in a deep sleep.
Klisa's world also became silent.
In this scorching summer, all things were colorful and beautiful, but the witch was not interested in those; she just stood blankly by Xu Xi's side.
Continuously gazing at that familiar sleeping face.
What is emotion?
What is liking?
What is love?
The witch had seen many answers, but those were others' answers, not the witch's own response.
Anxious fingers, the action of repeatedly loosening and tightening her grip on the Magic Wand, the eternal witch was incomparably quiet, waiting for the sun's next awakening.
Emotions accumulated continuously in her chest.
Heavy, apprehensive.
The overly familiar scene made Klisa's fingers tremble slightly.
But she restrained it very well, because this time it was no longer a final farewell, but the rebirth of the sun.
The only thing the witch needed to do.
Was to listen to Xu Xi.
Guard obediently nearby until Xu Xi woke up.
Yes, just doing that was enough, and the witch's mood calmed down a little.
She lightly waved her Magic Wand, and an invisible magic shield protected Xu Xi, blocking all possible dangers for him, while a large amount of elements surged to provide a favorable magical environment for Xu Xi.
If she could.
The witch wanted to stay by Xu Xi's side until Xu Xi woke up.
But it was a pity that the witch was not the only Supreme in the Courtyard.
Not long after.
The figures of Xu Moli and Wu Yingxue both appeared by the witch's side, and after briefly understanding the situation, they also chose to guard by Xu Xi's side.
Very tacitly.
The three Supremes each stood on one side.
Constructing a stable triangle.
When Xu Xi woke up, looking at the overly harmonious scene before him, his brain was even stunned for a moment.
