Chapter 58 Life Is so Fleeting

"Life...withers in a blink of an eye."

In the autumn wind, the withered sea of ​​flowers swayed and struggled.

Petals kept falling from the branches, slowly rolling in the wind, sometimes stagnating, sometimes flying far away, drifting to a distance that even they themselves did not know.

Xu Xi watched such a scene, feeling the unique sadness and loneliness of autumn.

He stretched out his fingers.

Clipped a petal just right.

"The flowers in Wage City are more fragrant than those in Allenson City. Is it because the goddess of nature and the goddess of life are widely believed here?"

"However, the time of withering is highly consistent."

The charming flowers will eventually wither.

The tender green leaves will also turn yellow and fall.

Most of the lives in the world are so short and hasty. Although people can live longer, they are too insignificant compared to the eternal gods.

It's like a drop of water splashed by a mighty river.

Small, humble, and unnoticeable.

Xu Xi didn't have much demand for his lifespan. In fact, even if the simulation ended, he felt that it was not a loss at all.

Since the simulation, he has learned many abilities and knowledge, including but not limited to the use of magic, element control, mental power application, magic device production, mysterious observation, and composite multi-element application.

There are more than ten world element attributes controlled by Xu Xi alone, including life and death.

Only time and space are untouchable.

Isn't such a harvest and such an achievement rich enough?

What's more.

Xu Xi is only 27 years old now, and there is still a long way to go before the real end of his lifespan.

Before the simulation really ends, his harvest will continue to expand.

Therefore, Xu Xi is very open-minded about lifespan and never laments the limited life of mortals. What really makes him feel uneasy is the witch with eternal lifespan.

After he leaves, can she live alone?

Will she be devastated by this?

In countless late nights looking up at the moon, the man thought about these questions more than once.

"Teacher."

The sudden shout interrupted Xu Xi's thoughts.

He loosened his fingers subconsciously, and the half-dried petals flew away from his hands, brushed across his cheeks, brushed across his nose, and finally fell into the soil that nurtured it to grow.

"What's wrong, Krisa?"

Xu Xi turned around.

What he saw was the witch who still looked 17 years old. Her gray-silver long hair became more shiny, like a waterfall, gently spreading on her back.

Some hair fell softly between the collarbones, making the whiteness looming.

Eternal youth brings the witch a beauty that will never fade.

Xu Xi thought.

This should be considered a good thing.

However, Krisa herself was deeply uneasy about this matter and was afraid of unknown changes.

"Teacher, I... don't want to become like this."

With limited life experience, Krisa could not understand the meaning of immortality. She only knew that she had become different from her mentor.

This is absolutely not allowed.

This is absolutely not allowed.

The witch's life is all about getting closer to the "sun", how can there be such a thing as being far away?

Looking at the uneasy Krisha, Xu Xi comforted her: "It's okay, Krisha, immortality is not a bad thing. In this world, many people dream of it."

The girl was a little confused: "So it is actually a good thing?"

Xu Xi was silent.

Unlike before, he answered the witch's question immediately.

He raised his head, looked at the sky, and watched the birds spread their wings and dived into the treetops, shuttled through the gaps with precise and graceful postures, and flew grandly in the sun.

"It's neither good nor bad."

Xu Xi gave a vague answer.

The future life is still very long, the witch can experience it herself, and then define the good and bad of immortality.

...

[Krisa is uneasy about her own changes. She feels that the distance between you and her is gradually widening]

[Despite your repeated comfort, this uneasiness shows no sign of dissipating]

[The witch begins to work harder]

[The witch's strength is improved]

[The witch's housework skills are improved]

[Krisa continuously does her best in all aspects, hoping to become closer to you]

[You are at a loss for words. One afternoon, you tap Krisa's head and tell her not to think too much and just live every day well]

[Krisha obeyed you and her busy figure slowed down a little]

[Simulated the fourteenth year, you are 28 years old, the witch is 20 years old, and the witch still maintains the body and appearance of 17 years old]

[From this year on, Krisha began to consciously reduce the number of times she went out. The eternal life gave her an unchanged appearance, but her mental growth continued]

[The witch realized that her appearance had not changed in three years, which had caused some discussions around her]

[So, she chose to reduce the number of times she went out to avoid being pointed at by outsiders]

There are anti-aging pills in the world of immortal cultivation.

Naturally, there are similar products in the magic world.

For example, the blessing of the goddess of beauty, or the fountain of life that delays aging.

However, even these extraordinary items cannot achieve true eternal youth.

They just slow down that speed infinitely, so slow that it is difficult to observe with the naked eye. Inside the human body, various organs are still growing and aging.

Krisha is different.

She is truly immortal, truly immortal, and time really stopped at the age of 17.

It may be difficult for mortals to tell the difference.

But for wizards, highly sensitive mental power can allow them to instantly see through the difference between immortality and beauty preservation, and thus recognize Krisa's inhuman nature.

After all.

Which ordinary person can live forever?

In the common understanding of the magic world, only gods and a very small number of immortal species can do this.

In order to avoid trouble, to avoid conflicts, and to avoid the disruption of Xu Xi's peaceful life, Krisa chose to stay in the courtyard and no longer go out to purchase like before.

This kind of life lasted for two months.

Watching the witch still doing housework every day, practicing magic hard every day, and cleaning the fallen leaves in the courtyard every day.

Xu Xi made a decision.

"Krisa, prepare to live in another city."

The sudden news obviously exceeded the witch's expectations, and the calm face became puzzled.

"Why... did you make such a decision?"

Krisa asked blankly.

Xu Xi did not hide anything and answered in a gentle voice: "Live in another city, where no one knows you and me. Then, Krisa, you can go out again."

"But," Krisa could not understand it even more. She looked at Xu Xi and suggested sincerely, "You don't need to do this."

The witch was not very interested in going out.

All her purposes and actions were just to help her master better.

Even if she was trapped in the courtyard for her whole life.

She would only feel happy.

Therefore, the witch sincerely felt that Xu Xi did not need to move out of this new home that had finally settled down because of her.
