Chapter 271: The Witch in Battle Readiness:
A peaceful life had begun.
With the cumulative gains from multiple simulations, Xu Xi found his real-world existence much more comfortable than within the simulations. He spent time with the girls, tended to the Dragon Blood Grass, and occasionally cleared the surrounding dimensional rifts.
Time flowed gently through his daily life, quietly carrying away each moment, and Xu Xi sincerely cherished this tranquility.
Interestingly, Krisha had started behaving a bit strangely. As a supreme deity with an eternal lifespan, the witch should have had no rivals. Concepts like power and threats had long since vanished from her vocabulary. Yet, inexplicably, Krisha had resumed her magical training, standing with her wand in hand, silver hair flowing, silently honing her skills just as she did in the past magical world.
“Krisha, what are you doing?” Xu Xi couldn’t help but ask.
The witch replied, “Master, I am training hard to ensure your safety.”
Safety? Training?
Xu Xi chuckled. He couldn’t imagine anything in this world—no, in the vastness of the chaotic multiverse—that could pose a danger requiring a supreme deity to be on guard. “I’m fine, Krisha. You don’t need to push yourself so hard. I understand your concern,” he said, gently ruffling her soft, silver hair, which shimmered like flowing light.
However, his reassurance did not make the witch stop her practice.
“No, Master… this is a real war,” she said, holding the deep blue gemstone on her chest. The necklace reflected a dreamy glow, undulating like the calm sea before a storm.
With a slightly dazed expression, she shook her head ever so slightly.
“…Alright then,” Xu Xi sighed.
He could tell the war Krisha referred to wasn’t a matter of life and death. If it were, her reaction would have been much more intense.
Unable to understand her motives, he let her continue. After all, it was her own choice, and he wouldn’t oppose it—in fact, he supported it.
“Having her own goals is a big step forward,” he thought, recalling the once helpless and melancholic Krisha. Now, that shadow was gradually transforming into light, and it pleased him to see such progress. He accepted the cup of tea she handed him.
“Master, please have some tea.”
“Thank you,” he replied with a smile.
Krisha seemed almost too perfect. Despite her rigorous training, she still made time to prepare tea for him. Xu Xi sipped the warm tea, gazing at the sky. “Strange, autumn shouldn’t be here yet. Why is it getting colder recently?”
The summer heat had inexplicably faded, replaced by an unusual chill. Perhaps it was due to Earth’s rapid ascension? He pondered, pouring a fresh bottle of dragon’s blood onto the Dragon Blood Grass in the courtyard. The enriched soil would ensure healthy growth despite the temperature drop.
“Maybe I should add a fishing pond…”
With that thought, Xu Xi expanded his daily routine.
He dug a pond in the courtyard and used spatial laws to extend its interior, filling it with various supernatural fish—not rare species, just common ones. Sitting leisurely by the pond, he enjoyed the quiet and the passage of time.
However, something soon felt off.
Splash!
A golden dragon carp broke through the water’s surface, caught by Xu Xi’s fishing rod and effortlessly reeled in.
“Wait… is this an immortal carp?” He raised an eyebrow in surprise.
He cast his line again, and soon enough, another extraordinary fish took the bait—this time, a great sun demon fish infused with Golden Crow bloodline.
Huh?
Xu Xi had a hunch. “If this keeps up…”
Splash!
On his third cast, he reeled in a vicious sea god fish, its sharp teeth bared menacingly, though it was easily subdued.
As expected, his sister, the witch, and the princess had been secretly feeding rare fish into the pond.
Looking at the three extraordinary fish, Xu Xi shook his head. “This kind of fishing lacks soul.”
Summoning the three culprits, he flicked their foreheads gently. “You can’t keep doing this, understood?”
“I understand, Brother.”
“Yes, Master.”
“I won’t do it again… ahem, I mean, I really won’t!”
Xu Moli responded obediently, Krisha covered her forehead in a daze, while Wu Yingxue awkwardly laughed and apologized for her enthusiasm.
The scene was amusing—beings revered by countless lives as supreme deities now looked like guilty children before Xu Xi. Even he couldn’t help but laugh at the thought.
“I really hope this peace lasts forever…”
…
Time flowed like an hourglass, grains of sand slipping away, witnessing countless cycles of life. The autumn Xu Xi once thought was distant had finally arrived. The leaves turned yellow, the sunlight softened, and the clear blue sky grew quieter.
Just looking at it brought a cool sensation.
Krisha continued her relentless training, Moli practiced her dimensional slicing as usual, while Wu Yingxue seemed the most relaxed, frequently visiting the survivalist camp on the outskirts. Of course, Xu Xi knew this was only their surface projections. Beyond what his eyes could see, their true forms were still breaking through dimensional boundaries within the multiversal river of time.
“Dimensional rift appearances have increased lately. This means Earth’s ascension is accelerating, and its power limit is rising. Perhaps it won’t be long before we can truly meet.”
In his free time, Xu Xi browsed the Transcendent Home website on his phone, reading through the rapidly updating news and marveling at Earth’s drastic changes. He also checked out the latest products, staying up-to-date with the evolving times.
“Great news! M78 Light Ore Detector, now only 99 points—buy now, pay later!”
“The Fire Qilin Series is now available, from vehicles to grenades, infused with Fire Qilin heart blood and inscribed with Taoist Fire Talismans—slaying demons is no longer a dream!”
“Limited-time sale—Pleasure Sect secret techniques… (content removed due to violation, confirmed by the official site).”
Xu Xi: ?
He couldn’t help but chuckle at the sheer absurdity of the transcendent community. It remained as eccentric as ever.
“Thinking back, I never could have imagined the world would turn out like this.”
After a sigh of nostalgia, he got up. He was preparing to head to the capital to attend the Heavenly Sword Sect’s grand founding ceremony, organized by Li Wanshou.
