Life Simulation: I Caused the Female Sword Immortal to Regret Forever-Chapter 399: May Time Stay in This Moment
The character for "sweet" is made up of two parts — the left side is the tongue, and the right side is sweetness. In the simplest way, it shows that sweetness is something felt by the tongue.
But Xu Moli never imagined that the sweetness entering from the tongue could sink deep into the heart, soaking through the five viscera and six organs, making one so addicted that they could never escape.
Each time she tasted a bite, long-buried memories flashed before her eyes like scenes from a movie.
With the first bite, Xu Moli saw a small, thin figure — like a hero, walking against the blazing sun, crossing thorns, and bravely rescuing a helpless infant girl.
With the second bite, she saw the figure of a young boy — diligent and hardworking, bustling about every day just to give the girl a slightly better life.
With the third bite, she saw the figure of a youth — looking haggard and remorseful, blaming himself for his powerlessness, hating that he couldn’t save the girl from her destined death.
The memories faded.
Reality returned.
Xu Moli looked at the important figure she would never forget, feeling a slight sting in her eyes.
"Thank you for liking it, Moli,"
"With your approval, I feel relieved," Xu Xi said as he gently stroked the girl's head, his voice soft, merging with the quiet of the summer night and making everything feel peaceful.
...
Overall, this attempt at making maltose candy was a big success.
Seeing the joyful look on his sister’s face, Xu Xi thought that when they returned to the real world, he could make another batch of maltose.
"But..."
"There's no way we can finish so much candy at once,"
Looking at the large amount of syrup in the iron pot, Xu Xi thought for a moment, found containers of suitable sizes, poured the syrup into them, and after letting it cool naturally, he sealed them up — saving them for Moli to have as small treats later.
"Mm, this will do for now,"
"If it runs out, I’ll just cook another batch."
...
Time passed quickly, and another month flew by.
Life remained unchanged, still peaceful, still simple.
Xu Xi sat at the doorstep with Moli, quietly watching the changing seasons and the bustling lives of people.
It was now late summer.
The sun above was no longer scorching but warm and bright, hanging in the clear blue sky and lighting the way for every traveler.
"Brother, what do you think lies at the end of that path?"
The sky suddenly dimmed, and a cool breeze stirred.
Xu Moli squinted slightly and asked curiously.
"I don’t know either," Xu Xi said, shaking his head.
"Maybe it’s just a simple path, or maybe it’s an unknown truth."
It was precisely because he didn’t know that he wanted to climb it himself, to witness firsthand all the events, all the simulations, and the ultimate truth hidden behind them.
...
Summer came to an end.
Heavy rains swept away the dust between heaven and earth, carrying off the last remnants of the summer heat and leaving behind a cool autumn.
The wind caressed the sun’s outline, making it soft and blurred.
Golden sunlight spread out, illuminating the abundant fields and the smiling faces of farmers.
All living things grew quiet and solemn.
Fallen leaves blanketed the paths.
Xu Xi and Xu Moli left their home, walking along a secluded mountain trail, overlooking the harvest from above, gazing at the golden sea of joy.
"It really looks alike..."
Xu Xi’s gaze moved around.
He realized that the autumn forest looked very similar to the Heavenly Sword Sect during his first simulation.
At that time, Xu Moli had been gravely ill, her face pale, her legs weak, even walking was difficult.
She could only walk half a circle with Xu Xi’s support.
"Brother, what are you thinking about?"
Seeing Xu Xi lost in thought, the girl asked curiously.
"I was thinking about when you were sick," Xu Xi replied.
Xu Moli pondered for a moment, then smiled playfully and suggested that she wanted to walk like before with Xu Xi supporting her.
Xu Xi agreed to her little request, reaching out his hands to support her as they strolled together along the autumn-leaf-covered path.
"Such a familiar feeling..."
"Though it was so long ago, it feels like it happened just yesterday," the girl said with a faraway look in her eyes, reflecting the autumn scenery around them.
She remembered very clearly how frail she had been back then — slow steps, staggering body, pain with every step.
But now, she was no longer that burden to her brother.
As a Supreme, she had the confidence to clear all obstacles for Xu Xi and to help him accomplish everything he wanted to do.
And then...
More selfishly, she wanted to indulge herself even more in his warmth and care.
"Brother, can you carry me?"
"I’m feeling sleepy~~"
The girl casually told a little lie.
Xu Xi chuckled, "Alright."
Just like when they were young, he carried the girl on his back, letting her rest against him.
One step, two steps.
His pace grew slow and steady, careful not to disturb the girl resting on his back.
"I knew it, Brother treats me the best," feeling the steady and reassuring warmth, Xu Moli curved her eyes into a smile, her heart blooming with joy.
It was wonderful...
This life, being alone with Brother, was wonderful...
She didn’t want to leave, didn’t want to go back.
She just wanted to stay in this moment forever.
Maybe it was the peaceful environment that made it easier to sleep.
Resting on Xu Xi’s back, Xu Moli’s eyes slowly closed as a wave of sleepiness overwhelmed her.
Gradually, she fell into a deep sleep.
No coughing up blood, no fainting spells — just simple, peaceful sleep. freeweɓnovel.cøm
In the half-awake, half-dreaming state, the girl vaguely felt someone’s clothing gently covering her back.
It was warm and familiar.
...
"She’s sleeping pretty soundly,"
On the way home, Xu Xi glanced at his sister’s sleeping face and chuckled.
She was completely drowsy now, not a trace of the cold, aloof sword fairy.
But this was the Xu Moli he knew best.
"She’ll probably sleep for a long while," he thought.
"When we get home, I’ll cook first. That way, Moli will have hot food to eat when she wakes up."
The autumn sunlight was warm and soft, golden and cozy against their skin.
The "hero" carried the sleeping girl back to their small home.
He moved skillfully, preparing dinner and cooling a pot of sweetened soup to refresh her.
When the girl woke up, the first thing she saw was this—
Her important brother sitting at the table, waving her over with a smile.
On the table, steaming hot dishes were laid out, a hearty meal with both meat and vegetables.
"Awake, Moli? Come eat together," said Xu Xi.
It felt like an unreal dream.
So blurry, so beautiful.
Xu Moli stared in a daze for a long, long time.
"Mm! Brother!" she finally cried out, wiping away her tears and smiling brightly.
