Chapter 190: Triangle Is the Most Stable:
“Krisha, are you getting used to living on Earth?”
“With you here, I feel at ease.”
“Really? You’ve worked hard lately, taking care of the yard for me.”
“You don’t need to thank me. This is my duty.”
The sun burned like fire, casting its scorching rays over the earth, which shimmered like a golden ocean under the blue sky. Heat waves rippled faintly in the air.
In the corner of the courtyard, Xu Xi and Krisha sat together. Shielded from the sun by green vines above, they chatted casually, enjoying the lazy atmosphere of summer.
Their conversation wasn’t profound—no discussions about eternal laws or forbidden secrets. Instead, they talked about mundane, everyday matters.
Xu Xi was patient, asking about Krisha’s daily life and mood.
Though their interactions in the second simulation had been long, Xu Xi didn’t let the end of the simulation mean the end of their bond. He still cared about the witch who had come to Earth and the other two girls.
For Xu Xi, the so-called “supreme” felt distant.
In his eyes, he simply saw his younger sister who begged for sweets, the indifferent witch with her calm demeanor, and the fiery, impulsive princess.
“Master, have some water,” Krisha offered.
The cookies she had baked were finished—crispy, fragrant, and delicious—but eating too many left one parched. Krisha had prepared ice water in advance, and Xu Xi drank it all in one gulp.
The cool water left him feeling refreshed and invigorated.
“Thank you, Krisha,” Xu Xi said habitually, glancing at the empty glass. He wondered if he should take the opportunity to buy her a gift.
Krisha had done an excellent job—meticulous and flawless in every aspect. Xu Xi felt that if the courtyard were ever without her, everything would come to a halt.
“Krisha, is there anything you want?”
“…No,” she said softly, staring at Xu Xi for a long moment before shaking her head.
Her response was as expected. Xu Xi set aside the idea of rewarding her for now and shifted the conversation to other topics, such as how well she got along with the other two girls and whether there were any conflicts.
Krisha shook her head again, her comments short and neutral:
“…Good Samaritans are a bit pitiable.”
“…The troublesome brat is slightly annoying.”
Her tone was calm, devoid of emotion. From the day Xu Xi first met her, her demeanor had never changed.
Still, Xu Xi couldn’t help but feel that her voice carried a subtle nuance this time.
“Is there something wrong with how I’ve been teaching her?” he wondered, studying her delicate features.
But he dismissed the thought. It wasn’t a serious issue. As long as the three supreme beings didn’t quarrel, it was already the best outcome.
“Krisha, pour me another drink.”
“Yes, Master,” she replied without hesitation, taking the empty glass and refilling it with ice water.
The two continued their conversation. Most of the time, Xu Xi spoke while Krisha listened quietly, occasionally reporting her “work updates.”
“Master, during your retreat, the red dragon came looking for you,” Krisha mentioned.
“Oh? Little Red came by? What did it want?”
“It seems to have discovered a new dragon clan.”
Xu Xi was pleasantly surprised. He hadn’t expected the red dragon to take his New Year’s advice so seriously.
“Not bad, very good,” Xu Xi said, smiling. He decided to reward the red dragon in the future.
“However, I can’t leave right now. I’ll find time to meet it later.”
Closing his eyes slightly, Xu Xi felt his mental power intensify. It roared like a storm, heralding his impending ascension to godhood.
“Krisha, I need to rest and prepare for the ascension ceremony,” he said, looking at her. “Can you stay by my side for now?”
“Of course, Master,” Krisha replied instantly.
Her expression remained calm, but her vigilance was palpable. With a flick of her wrist, the “Gray Resurrection” wand appeared in her hand, its presence vibrating the surrounding air.
“Good. I trust you,” Xu Xi said, lying back on his recliner with a contented smile.
As he closed his eyes, he let his body relax completely, focusing on his inner world of elements and spirit. He surrendered all control, leaving his safety entirely in Krisha’s hands.
“Master,” Krisha whispered softly, “I’ll wait for you. I’ll stay here until you wake up.”
The sun shone fiercely, the wind was hot and silent, and the courtyard grew still.
Krisha’s world became equally silent.
In the vibrant summer, where everything seemed alive and colorful, the witch remained uninterested. She stood quietly by Xu Xi’s side, her gaze fixed on his familiar sleeping face.
What are emotions?
What does it mean to care?
What is love?
The witch had seen countless answers to these questions, but they were always someone else’s answers, never her own.
Her restless fingers tightened and loosened their grip on the wand repeatedly.
The immortal witch was calm on the surface, but emotions churned within her chest—heavy and unsettling.
The familiar sight of Xu Xi asleep stirred her deeply, her fingers trembling slightly. But she controlled herself well. This time, it wasn’t a goodbye. It was the rebirth of the sun.
Her only task was to follow Xu Xi’s instructions: stay by his side and wait for him to wake up.
This thought calmed her somewhat.
With a wave of her wand, Krisha cast an invisible magic shield around Xu Xi, shielding him from all potential dangers. At the same time, she summoned an abundance of elemental energy to create a favorable magical environment for his body.
If she could, she would remain by his side until he woke up.
But Krisha wasn’t the only supreme being in the courtyard.
Before long, Xu Moli and Wu Yingxue arrived. After understanding the situation, they too decided to stay by Xu Xi’s side.
The three supreme beings positioned themselves around him, forming a stable triangle of protection.
When Xu Xi finally opened his eyes, he saw the three of them standing harmoniously, guarding him.
For a moment, his mind went blank, frozen by the unexpectedly tranquil scene.
