Life Simulation: I Caused the Female Sword Immortal to Regret Forever-Chapter 406: A Smile Blooming Only for Xu Xi:

The simple and warm dinner was the final meal and also the final closure. Xu Xi originally intended to complete it alone to draw a perfect ending, but Krisha held the same thought and insisted on staying.

In the end, the dinner was prepared together by the two of them.

The ingredients came from different specialties collected over the past few months, such as sandstone dragon meat from the desert, ice crystal fish from the winter lands, and peppered lava worms from the volcano region.

The dishes didn’t look particularly attractive, but each carried a unique regional flavor, offering a different taste.

"Ah wu—"

"Ah wu—"

Krisha ate very quietly, but her expressionless chewing often made Xu Xi think of a little hamster, dumbly cute. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

"Master?" Krisha’s keen intuition picked up on Xu Xi’s gaze.

"It’s nothing, Krisha, keep eating." Xu Xi smiled, comforting her so she wouldn’t worry, and enjoyed the meal himself.

"You seem to be thinking impolite thoughts."

"Really? That must be Krisha’s imagination." Xu Xi skillfully coaxed her so she wouldn’t dwell on it.

After the meal, night fell, and the bright moon hung high. Xu Xi and Krisha returned to their respective rooms, preparing to leave this fantasy world after they woke up.

However, Xu Xi found it hard to sleep.

"Hoo—!! Hoo—!!"

Strong winds battered the windows, the howling gusts making them rattle noisily. Lying on the bed, Xu Xi gazed at the swaying trees outside, his thoughts gradually drifting far away.

"I feel like I haven't done enough..."

This thought surfaced.

Xu Xi thought of Krisha and remembered everything from the second simulation.

Being robbed with a knife in the filthy alleys, rescuing the girl and bringing her to a safe courtyard, teaching her to read, to practice magic, shaping her character, and nurturing her worldview.

He clearly remembered Krisha’s clumsy first attempts at magic and the gifts he gave her during the New Year.

He especially remembered how, when the city of Elensen was destroyed, Krisha’s eyes underwent their true transformation.

That was the turning point where she changed her destiny, from a crippled demonic race to a miracle standing above the gods.

From that moment on, the vast difference in lifespan between him and Krisha stood like a great divide. In the latter part of his life, Xu Xi often fell into unconsciousness, surviving only because Krisha painstakingly cared for him.

Even now, Xu Xi still remembered that near the end of the second simulation, Krisha said in an even tone, "The day before yesterday, yesterday, today, I have been accompanying you, until you wake up."

Because of this, Xu Xi always felt guilty toward Krisha, thinking it was his fault she had to wait so long.

Slowly closing his eyes, Xu Xi felt sleepiness overwhelming him, but before falling asleep, his mind kept thinking about how he could repay the deep feelings Krisha had for him.

"Far from enough..."

"Only six months of companionship, far less than the time Krisha waited for me."

Xu Xi murmured softly, his breathing steadying as he fell into slumber.

When the room fell into complete silence, a figure quietly appeared, sitting beside his bed. She gazed at his sleeping face with an eternal posture, silently waiting for his awakening the next day.

Krisha clearly knew that Xu Xi’s body was healthy.

Yet her heart, filled with unease, could only find peace by witnessing it herself, by feeling it with her own hands.

"Master..." Krisha gently held Xu Xi’s hand.

His hand was warm, neither wrinkled with age nor fragile from near death. The pale moonlight streamed in through the window, softly illuminating Xu Xi’s hand, highlighting its youthful vitality.

Even so, Krisha still couldn’t ease her heart.

She remained there, sitting by his bedside, silently accompanying him through the night until dawn.

When Xu Xi opened his eyes and woke up, as if time had repeated itself, the first thing he saw was Krisha’s face, and the first thing he heard was her greeting.

"Good morning, Master."

"Good morning, Krisha." Xu Xi asked with slight hesitation, "Krisha, why are you in my room?" "Because I was worried about your safety."

"Worried?"

"Yes, very worried." Krisha’s reply was calm and unwavering, yet it moved the listener’s heart and made it ache.

The clumsy sorceress didn’t know how to sweet-talk; she only knew how to express her feelings through actions. Holding Xu Xi’s hand, sitting quietly all night—this was her way.

"Sorry, Krisha, for making you worry for so long," Xu Xi sat up, gently smoothing Krisha’s worries with a soft expression and warm gestures.

He paused, then told her the reason he had stayed up too late: "Actually, I was thinking about what I could prepare to repay your long wait for me."

"Compensation?" Krisha shook her head in confusion. "Master, I don’t need any compensation." Krisha never felt that Xu Xi owed her anything.

She didn’t think her sacrifices outweighed Xu Xi’s.

To her, Xu Xi was her savior, the only light that had illuminated her dark life. Meeting him again, being with him again, was already the greatest gift.

"Really not necessary, Krisha?"

"Yes. Just being able to meet you already makes me satisfied," Krisha nodded lightly, her beautiful and mysterious eyes reflecting only Xu Xi.

Krisha believed that if anyone needed to compensate, it was herself. She had barged into Xu Xi’s room without permission. She had made such a grave mistake.

"Master..." "Would this be acceptable as an apology...?"

In the morning light, Krisha sat quietly by the bedside, her gray hair cascading like a waterfall, her expression calm.

She raised her hands, curled all fingers except for her index fingers, and gently lifted the corners of her lips to create a smile.

"Krisha, you..." Xu Xi froze for a moment. What appeared before him was a perfect smile—gentle, beautiful, and adorably silly.

"Master, how is it..." Krisha tilted her head slightly, still holding the pulled smile, waiting for his evaluation.

"Mm, it’s very beautiful," Xu Xi said with a soft voice, "especially, especially beautiful, a smile that belongs only to Krisha."

"Hahaha, hahahahaha." Xu Xi laughed heartily.

His laugh carried a complex emotion: relief, gratitude, happiness. It was a smile Krisha couldn’t fully understand, but she knew one thing—Xu Xi loved her smile.

So her smile became even more natural. Even after releasing her fingers, the gentle and beautiful smile stayed on her face.

It was a smile blooming only for Xu Xi.

After breakfast, Krisha, holding her staff, gently shattered the barriers of space, using her supreme power to open a path back to the chaotic sea of possibilities.

"Mm, let’s go." Xu Xi stepped forward and stood together with Krisha.

They walked through the chaotic void, past countless collapsing and forming timescapes, until they reached the chaotic sea of possibilities.

The mysterious path was still there, shining with a soft white light. This time, Xu Xi just glanced at it and stopped paying attention. He knew he still couldn’t walk it yet.

"Master, please hold my hand." Krisha waved her staff, stirring the sea of possibilities even more fiercely, carrying Xu Xi away from the simulated world.

At the same time, at the distant end, four supreme forces assisted by locking onto their position.

[Simulation is about to forcibly end. Please return to the simulated world to ensure normal operation.]

The strong sense of detachment surged through Xu Xi’s body. Endless mirrored timelines rippled beneath his feet, each representing a brand-new simulated possibility, a new domain he hadn’t yet touched. But soon, these timelines collapsed and disappeared like bubbles.

[You have left the simulated timeline. This simulation is forcibly ended. Simulation evaluation is being calculated. Simulation rewards are being generated.]

[Achievements: None.]

[Simulation Summary: None.]

[Simulation Evaluation: E.]

[Please select one of the following three rewards. Once selected, it will be immediately granted.]

[1. Platinum Dragon Blood Grass]

[2. Cathedral Design Blueprint]

[3. Winter Scarf]

"We’re back, Master." A calm voice brushed his ear, like a breeze through treetops, like a stream’s murmur. This was the unique and beautiful voice that only Krisha had.

When Xu Xi opened his eyes, he saw Krisha already dressed neatly in her maid outfit, bringing him a cup of hot tea. Her speed was so quick that it was as if she hadn’t just returned from a simulation.

"Thanks, Krisha," Xu Xi said softly. A sip of hot tea warmed his body and cleared his mind, helping him readjust to the real world.

"Krisha, is there anything you want?" Xu Xi summoned Krisha and explained the three options for simulation rewards.

"Master, can I trouble you to bring back that scarf?" Krisha answered after careful thought.

Dragon Blood Grass wasn’t rare—they had plenty growing in their garden.

The Cathedral’s design blueprint was tempting but not as important as the scarf given by Xu Xi.

"Of course." Xu Xi smiled and confirmed his selection. Soon, a familiar scarf appeared in his hand, which Krisha quickly and carefully stored away.

The Earth wasn’t in autumn or winter now, and the scarf wasn’t needed for warmth. For Krisha, it was more of a precious memento than an everyday item.

"Master! Master! It’s my turn! It’s my turn!"

Just as Xu Xi was relaxing with his tea, Wu Yingxue came running excitedly.

"...Alright, but let me rest a bit first," Xu Xi said, smiling helplessly, still agreeing to Wu Yingxue’s request.

Gradually, Xu Xi realized that the five girls were definitely plotting something behind the scenes. Without any surprises, Ailei and the Hero were probably queuing behind Wu Yingxue.

Thinking about it, he sighed inwardly.

His journey was long and arduous...

A month later in the real world, Xu Xi and Wu Yingxue started their simulation.

After much thought, the princess chose a martial world similar to the martial arts side but without the presence of demonic monsters.

There were no demons because she hated them. There were martial artists because of her childhood dream.

As a child, Wu Yingxue grew up on heroic tales, always dreaming of becoming a great hero. Although life changed her path, now she wanted to live that dream.

"Master, is that okay?"

"Of course," Xu Xi answered with a smile.

The simulation started, and time and space shifted. Xu Xi and Wu Yingxue arrived in a low-martial world.

There were no demons, no endless wars of alien races—just a normal human court and a natural martial world.

"Master, wait and see, I’ll become number one in the world for you!" Wu Yingxue declared on the first day.

"Alright, I’ll wait," Xu Xi replied with a smile. He believed in the princess’s strength.

As expected, it didn’t take long.

In just half a month, Wu Yingxue became invincible, sweeping across the world. No martial sect, no renowned hero could last even one move against her. The martial world was in an uproar. The imperial court was in shock. Wu Yingxue’s title as the "Spear Immortal" spread far and wide.

Along with it, rumors about Xu Xi also spread.

"What? He’s the man behind the Spear Immortal?!"

"Hiss~~"

"A role model for all of us."

There seemed to be some misunderstanding. Everywhere Xu Xi went, people looked at him with envy and jealousy.

But soon, all these discussions disappeared.

"Master, being a great hero seems boring..." Wu Yingxue complained. After becoming the top martial artist, she found the so-called chivalry tedious, the sect squabbles petty and meaningless.

"Then don’t be a hero," Xu Xi advised softly.

Soon after, the martial world heard shocking news.

The newly appointed Martial Alliance Leader ran away with her kept pretty boy, disappearing without a trace from the martial world.

"Find her!"

"Search thoroughly!"

Every martial sect in the world was in chaos, but no matter how hard they searched, the Spear Immortal Wu Yingxue and her companion Xu Xi could no longer be found, as if they had vanished into thin air.
