LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 164
Chapter 164 Does the Master Really Have a Second Sister?:
“Looking at it this way, it doesn’t feel so empty anymore.”
The sun streamed gently through the windows, its light as thin and delicate as countless fine threads.
It illuminated the large wooden collection cabinet, making its contents clearly visible. Xu Xi stood in front of it, sweeping his gaze over the sugar jars, magic wands, and the paper flowers arranged neatly inside.
A strong sense of time passing filled the air.
From the perspective of the real world, Xu Xi had only been using the Good Life Simulator for less than a year. But if his experiences in the simulated worlds were included, the three lives he had lived were long and profound, each filled with trials and meaning.
The simulator was a remarkable tool.
It might not align with the conventional idea of “beautiful,” but it had undeniably brought strength to Xu Xi and enriched his life.
His collection, too, was growing.
Staring at the cabinet, Xu Xi couldn’t help but wonder if one day all its compartments would be filled. The thought amused him.
“Master, what did you just put in there?”
Krisha’s voice broke through his thoughts. Her tone carried a hint of curiosity.
The witch couldn’t understand where Xu Xi had gotten the paper flower or why he placed it in the cabinet.
The faint aura surrounding the flower made her uneasy.
“It’s something an old friend entrusted to me for safekeeping,” Xu Xi replied after a moment’s thought.
With that, he left the room, convinced that the paper flower’s presence in the cabinet was temporary and that it would eventually be returned to its rightful owner—the princess.
However, Krisha didn’t seem to think so.
And neither did another figure who entered the room after Xu Xi left.
The witch remained behind, her gaze fixed on the flawless paper flower in the cabinet’s third compartment.
A soft hum echoed in the air as ripples appeared in time and space. A disembodied figure materialized, dressed in plain attire.
“Do you recognize it?”
Krisha’s voice was calm, almost detached. She didn’t turn to face the newcomer, continuing to stare at the paper flower.
“No,” Xu Moli replied, stepping beside Krisha to examine the flower. “But I want to ask you something else.”
By coincidence, the thoughts of these two Eternal Supremes mirrored each other.
“Does the Master really have a second sister?”
“Does Brother really have a second disciple?”
The atmosphere grew tense as both figures fell into silent contemplation.
…
Outside, Xu Xi walked into the courtyard alone, basking in the autumn sunshine. He settled onto a rocking chair positioned in the semi-shade, letting the warmth of the light soothe him.
The injuries from the simulation didn’t carry over to the real world, but the exhaustion from overexertion still lingered.
“Krisha’s tea helped a little, but I still need to rest,” he murmured, closing his eyes as he listened to the rustling of the dragon blood grass swaying in the cold breeze.
The chill in the air hinted at the coming of winter. Soon, the New Year would arrive.
Xu Xi found himself looking forward to it.
In the simulated worlds, he, Moli, and Krisha had celebrated many New Year’s Eves. But this would be their first together in the real world.
The thought felt meaningful.
The real-world New Year wouldn’t bring any dramatic changes, but it carried an intangible sense of reunion and quiet joy, like the slow, sweet flow of honey.
“But what should I do next?”
Xu Xi tilted his head back to gaze at the sky.
The autumn sky was high and clean, with white clouds moving silently, dragging time into the distant future.
His tired thoughts briefly lifted.
“In the first simulation, I joined the Extraordinary Control Bureau to gain strength and adapt better to reality.”
“In the second simulation, I reached new heights of power and reunited with my Master, Krisha, and Moli.”
“But now, in the real world…”
“Even if I stop cultivating entirely and live as an ordinary person, there’s nothing that can threaten me.”
He chuckled softly. The abundance of power had come so quickly, like an unexpected storm that swept everything into his lap before he could even process it.
After much thought, he identified three possible paths for himself:
Continue cultivating to further improve his strength.
Help his master resolve issues involving the world’s ruins.
Live a peaceful and beautiful life with his sister and Krisha.
“That doesn’t sound so bad,” Xu Xi said with a faint smile.
A peaceful life had always been his preference.
It was this yearning for peace that had driven him to lead the Survival Army in the martial arts world, seeking even the slimmest chance of survival.
But the real world wasn’t as harsh. With Li Wanshou, a True Immortal, maintaining order and his sister and Krisha standing by his side, Xu Xi no longer needed to exhaust himself.
“Finally… I can rest.”
As his heavy eyelids drooped, sleep overtook him.
A gentle fluctuation spread through the courtyard, shielding Xu Xi from the cold wind and any disturbances.
…
When Xu Xi woke, he felt completely refreshed. His energy had returned, and the fatigue from the simulation was gone.
Life resumed its peaceful rhythm.
The sun shone brightly, the dragon blood grass swayed in the wind, and Krisha stood nearby with her calm demeanor. Meanwhile, his little sister cheerfully begged for sweets.
These elements made up Xu Xi’s daily life.
But that didn’t mean he was idle.
He took his sister to visit the Extraordinary General Administration in the capital, where he met Li Wanshou, who was enjoying a quiet moment with tea.
Under the baffled gaze of the old man, Xu Xi shared the truth about the destruction of the fairy world and Xu Moli’s deeds.
“This… I… she…!”
Though Li Wanshou was a True Immortal, his reactions were far from composed.
He clutched his head, his hair disheveled, and alternated between smacking the table and sighing in disbelief.
During this time, Xu Xi also asked Moli and Krisha for help.
“Moli, Krisha, can I leave the search for the martial arts world to you?”
“Of course, Brother.”
“Yes, Master.”
Though the simulator had revealed that Wu Yingxue had reached the highest level, it hadn’t provided enough details to put Xu Xi’s mind at ease.
He wanted to ensure her safety and see those vibrant, resilient people from the Survival Army once again.
As fate would have it, just as Xu Xi made his request, a new connection to the martial arts world appeared on Earth.
