Chapter 425: Days Without Simulation

Days without the need for simulation.

Were more leisurely than Xu Xi had anticipated.

Watering the flowers.

Letting some dragon blood.

Accompanying several girls.

In the day-to-day peaceful life, time quietly slipped away.

What pleased Xu Xi even more was that the relationship between the five girls was exceptionally harmonious, never having any disputes.

"A life without the need for sacrifice is truly wonderful…"

Yanshan City, the Courtyard.

Xu Xi looked up at the sky, watching the clouds drift across the brilliant blue expanse, the golden sun dyeing half the dome with its glow, a truly splendid sight.

Perhaps because the scenery was too beautiful.

Even the air he breathed.

Felt a bit fresher.

At that moment, a familiar voice came from behind.

"Brother, I want some candy," the owner of the voice said, gently tugging at Xu Xi's sleeve for emphasis, "candy made by brother's own hands."

"Alright," Xu Xi agreed with a smile.

He reached out and patted Xu Moli on the head.

Prepare the wheat.

Sprinkle water and wait for it to sprout.

Boil the syrup.

A gentle breeze brushed by, rustling countless leaves. While Xu Xi was busy, Xu Moli helped with minor tasks.

Or sat obediently, waiting for Xu Xi to cut the candy into pieces for her.

The light brown Maltose had a unique aroma, its sweetness flowing through the air, lingering slowly through the nose and mouth.

"Brother's candy is still the best."

Mo Li's tastes seemed to have become quite particular.

Now,

she preferred the candy made by Xu Xi over any commercial candy on the market.

She told Xu Xi that Maltose melted in the mouth, its sweetness lingering on the tip of the tongue for a long time, which she especially loved.

"I really…"

"really, really, really, really."

"love brother's… candy the most~~"

Dressed in a pale yellow chiffon dress, Xu Moli smiled with extra joy.

"Then I'll make more for you from now on," Xu Xi said, using his finger to wipe away a tiny smudge of candy from the corner of the girl's mouth.

In the real world,

Xu Xi could wield extraordinary power.

If he wished, he could make candy in an instant.

But Xu Xi wouldn't do that. When he said he'd make more, he meant taking more time and care in the Mortal way, so his sister could enjoy it to her heart's content.

"No."

"What if brother gets tired?"

Xu Moli, who had just wanted more candy moments ago, now firmly refused.

Compared to sweet candy,

she was even more unwilling to see Xu Xi exhausted.

The Witch didn't like candy, but she too had things she wanted to do.

"Mentor, I caught a Dragon."

"Let me go, let me go! I am the great Saint Dragon · Sinray Abubtalen!"

The great Dragon struggled in terror.

But no matter how much it thrashed,

its tail couldn't escape the Witch's grasp.

"Klisa, where did you catch this?" Xu Xi was astonished. The platinum Dragon before him was clearly the one from the fantasy world.

Logically speaking,

the five Supreme beings were no longer feeding Earth.

No new creatures from other worlds should appear.

"Traitor! It's that despicable Dragon Clan traitor!!" At that moment, the platinum Dragon itself provided the answer.

With a voice full of anger and grievance, it raged against some unnamed Red Dragon, claiming it was the Red Dragon's temptation that made it charge headlong into Earth seeking treasure.

Who would have thought it wouldn't see any treasure,

but instead saw the Supreme God who wanted to drain its dragon blood.

"So that's how it is," Xu Xi suddenly understood, then looked at the Dragon gently. "Since you're already here, why not…"

Afterward,

the platinum Dragon flew away trembling.

It had received the Supreme God's pardon, managing to keep its dragon life.

"Mentor, the new dragon blood grass is planted."

Flowers and plants flourished, branches and leaves intertwined.

Clusters of crimson dragon blood grass swayed low in the wind, like small waves, shimmering with a faint layer of platinum light.

Because planting the dragon blood grass was so taxing,

the Witch, having just finished the work,

collapsed exhausted into Xu Xi's arms.

Xu Xi gazed at the Courtyard, at the flowers and plants, at the gentle spring light, and at the restless Klisa in his arms.

A smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

"What… are you smiling at?" the Witch asked, bewildered.

"Smiling because Klisa is too adorable," Xu Xi replied.

The County Princess rarely needed Xu Xi's help.

She was independent.

Even if Xu Xi wasn't there, she could Persist and walk the entire path alone.

Yes, that's how it should have been.

"Oh dear, sir, I think I've sprained my ankle."

"Sir, please massage it for me~~"

"By the way, sir, it's so hot today. Why don't we go to the mall for some ice cream, maybe catch a movie, have lunch, and do some karaoke."

The lively, active young lady,

always found the most peculiar reasons,

to grab Xu Xi's arm and pull him out of the Courtyard.

Xu Xi didn't refuse, just smiled and let Wu Yingxue drag him around to various places.

By the time the day was over,

and the County Princess had enjoyed herself to the fullest,

Xu Xi leisurely curled his finger and flicked her smooth forehead.

"Sir, that hurts~~~"

"Yingxue, lying isn't the right thing to do."

Xu Xi paused: "In the future, if there's something you want to do, just tell me directly. No need to find reasons."

"…I understand."

Holding her forehead,

the County Princess showed an awkward yet polite smile.

The loyal Mech-Servant adhered to the following principles:

"One, Intelligent Machines must obey Xu Xi."

"Two, Intelligent Machines must not harm Xu Xi."

"Three, Intelligent Machines must protect Xu Xi."

These were the Mech-Servant's rules of action, things she had strictly adhered to all along. And now, she had extended them with a brand new principle of her own.

[Glowing Cuisine].

She must create cuisine that can glow.

To achieve this goal, Ele immersed herself in the kitchen for long periods, asking Xu Xi to guide her from the side.

The process was tortuous.

One could even say it was torturous.

No matter how many times she tried, Ele always felt she was missing something.

Therefore,

dejected, she could only bury her head in Xu Xi's chest, drawing Master Energy to recover herself.

"Ele, do I really have something called 'Master Energy' on me?"

"Yes, Master."

Ele stated with conviction.

She lay in Xu Xi's arms, adjusting herself to a more comfortable position.

"Master Energy replenishment complete. Ele rebooting."

After lying there for about ten minutes,

the Mech-Servant stood up again, expression serious, gripping a spatula in each hand. Amidst the flames and the tossing rice, she stir-fried a plate of egg fried rice.

This time, there was a faint golden glow shimmering.

Though it vanished in an instant,

and was very hazy and indistinct,

Ele still caught it and threw herself into Xu Xi's arms, sharing the good news with him.

"Ele, you did very well."

Xu Xi praised the happy Mech-Servant.

At the same time, he was somewhat puzzled: "But, why are you holding me so tightly?"

"Data shows that close, intimate contact can share one's good fortune with others," Ele explained seriously. "I am currently sharing the good fortune of my success into Master's body."

Perfectly logical and well-founded.

The Mech-Servant triumphs.
