Chapter 180: Xu Moli Guarding the Door:
The princess’s story continued as she happily shared more details with Xu Xi.
“Sir, I did it!”
“I’ve fed more people!”
“I’ve given winter coats to those in need!”
“I’ve ensured that everyone who struggled to survive can now live together!”
“And from now on, there won’t be any monsters preying on humans!”
The serene night sky, glittering with starlight, seemed to mirror her joy. In the flowing silence, Wu Yingxue’s voice resonated powerfully.
She stood up, placing her fists on her hips, her bright smile full of pride. She looked at Xu Xi and asked playfully, as though seeking recognition, “Sir, aren’t I amazing?”
Her life’s accomplishments and triumphs were built on the corpses of countless monsters. There was no denying that her deeds had reached the pinnacle, recognized across all heavens and worlds.
But even someone as accomplished as Wu Yingxue yearned for approval. She wanted the man who had once smiled so warmly and sacrificed so much to see and acknowledge her efforts.
“Sir, I’ve lived up to your expectations,” she declared proudly.
Yes, that was it.
She wanted to tell Mr. Fool that the dreams he once thought impossible had been made a reality. He no longer needed to toil endlessly or carry the weight of the world alone.
As the evening breeze tousled her hair, Xu Xi looked into her expectant eyes, which sparkled like stars.
“Yes, you’re truly remarkable,” Xu Xi said, smiling. His words were simple, yet they carried heartfelt sincerity. “You’re the most powerful heroine in the world.”
Wu Yingxue’s lips curled into a beautiful smile, and her robes fluttered in the wind like a flag of triumph.
“Of course! After all, it’s me!” she laughed before sitting down at Xu Xi’s insistence.
“So, Yingxue, did you manage to resurrect everyone?” Xu Xi asked.
“Almost. I brought back everyone in the Survival Army and a few close acquaintances,” she replied.
As their conversation continued, Xu Xi learned more about her journey.
After the third simulation, Wu Yingxue had dedicated herself to eradicating demons, not just in the martial world but across all realms. Once she reached the supreme level, she even reversed the flow of time to bring back those lost to tragic fates.
Among them were King Dingyuan, who had died in an early accident, and the princess who had been forced to take her own life by poison.
With her unparalleled power, Wu Yingxue had almost erased all regrets—except for one.
No matter how much she tried, she couldn’t wake Xu Xi from his slumber.
It wasn’t until recently, when she sensed his aura, that she crossed the chaos and the vast dimensions to find him.
“Yingxue, were you absolutely sure it was me?” Xu Xi asked curiously.
“Of course,” she replied without hesitation.
“No doubt at all?”
“None. There’s no other fool like you,” she said with a teasing smile, her eyes softening.
How could she mistake him?
The man who once dreamed of creating a peaceful world for her.
The man who stayed up late folding paper flowers just to make her smile.
The man too selfless, always thinking of others while neglecting himself.
A man like this could only be the biggest fool in the world. There could never be another.
Determined to protect this foolish yet extraordinary man, the most powerful heroine resolved to stay by his side.
“Sir, as long as I’m here, no one will ever hurt you again,” she said softly, her voice filled with quiet conviction.
“Yingxue, you don’t plan to return?” Xu Xi asked.
“No, I’m staying,” she answered.
She explained that she had left a fragment of her consciousness in the martial world to live alongside her resurrected parents. Whether she was on Earth or in the martial world, her presence remained in both places.
“So this is where I want to be—for now,” she said.
Xu Xi thought for a moment and nodded. Her request was simple, and he saw no reason to refuse.
“By the way, Sir,” Wu Yingxue said suddenly, “would you come back to the martial world with me? My father wants to thank you in person.”
“Uh… let’s not,” Xu Xi replied hesitantly.
The martial world from the third simulation was far from Earth, and Xu Xi had no desire to travel such a distance. Besides, he could already imagine the awkward misunderstandings that might arise from meeting her parents.
After weighing his options, Xu Xi politely declined.
“Okay…” Wu Yingxue sighed, a tinge of regret in her tone.
As the night deepened, the stars brightened against the dark canvas of the sky, forming intricate patterns like a masterful painting.
“Yingxue, come back with me,” Xu Xi said, rising to his feet. “It’s New Year’s Eve. Stay and have dinner with us. I also have something to give you.”
“And,” he added with a smile, “I’d like to introduce you to two people. They’re strong, like you, and I think you’ll have a lot in common.”
Xu Xi envisioned the meeting.
As supreme beings of their respective realms, Wu Yingxue, Xu Moli, and Krisa would surely find plenty of topics to discuss. He sincerely hoped the three would get along, not just for harmony’s sake but to prevent Earth from becoming a casualty of their immense power.
“Alright, Sir. I’ll listen to you,” Wu Yingxue said, her lips curving into a smile as she agreed.
With a wave of his hand, Xu Xi stored the scattered items into a space ring. After bidding farewell to the people, he led Wu Yingxue back to Yanshan City.
The courtyard was serene, with its pool frozen over and the desolate flowerbed showing only a few blades of Red Dragon Blood Grass swaying in the wind.
As Xu Xi glanced at the sky, he noticed something peculiar.
The stars seemed to flicker—appearing, disappearing, and reappearing in an endless cycle.
“Ever since Earth started its upgrades, the world feels more and more unfamiliar,” Xu Xi murmured, brushing off the phenomenon as a natural celestial change.
Opening the courtyard door, he saw a figure waiting for him.
It was Xu Moli.
