Life Simulation: I Caused the Female Sword Immortal to Regret Forever-Chapter 402: This Is Very Krisha
"Krisha, the shovel."
Sunlight bathed the earth, making everything shine brightly.
In the newly purchased mansion’s garden, Xu Xi took the shovel handed over by Krisha and dug a series of shallow holes in the flowerbed. Soil tumbled down, and a faint earthy smell was lifted by the wind.
"Krisha, the seeds."
The witch moved quickly, handing over the prepared high-quality grass seeds. Xu Xi divided them evenly, placing them carefully into each shallow pit before gently covering them with soil and lightly pressing down without compacting it too hard.
"Krisha, the dragon blood."
"Yes, Master," the witch answered crisply.
Finally, she brought over a large jar of fresh dragon blood. Xu Xi grasped the handle and carefully poured it over the flowerbed, letting it seep deep into the seeds and soil.
With that, the task was complete. Xu Xi nodded in satisfaction, clapped the dirt off his hands, and looked at the newly arranged Dragon Blood Grass with great approval.
"I hope that dragon can truly change its ways and stop hunting humans for blood," Xu Xi said, gazing up. Sunlight streamed through the blue sky and white clouds, the outlines of distant mountains bright and clear, the leaves sharp and vivid. Far away, he could see the figure of a panicked dragon fleeing.
It was none other than the Platinum Holy Dragon, Xinlei Abubutailun, who had once tried to hunt Krisha and been swiftly defeated by her.
Before leaving, the dragon had sworn never to repeat its mistakes and promised to live properly from now on.
Because of that oath, Xu Xi gave it a chance.
"Dragons are prideful creatures. Hopefully, it won’t do anything stupid," Xu Xi muttered. The dragon blood they had now was enough, but if needed, he didn’t mind collecting a few more barrels. freёwebnoѵel.com
"Let’s head inside, Krisha. We still have a lot to do today."
"Yes, Master."
Xu Xi gently took Krisha’s pale hand and led her into the mansion.
The mansion they lived in was a relatively secluded noble estate, spacious, quiet, and elegantly decorated. Krisha had bought it outright without blinking, her wealth and decisiveness needing no further explanation.
The house was fully furnished, but human living habits varied, so a full round of reorganization was needed before they could truly settle in.
"Master, let me handle it," Krisha said softly.
The fountain outside sprayed water high into the air, creating twin arcs that fell into the flowerbeds. Krisha wore a black-and-white dress trimmed with ruffles, her silver-gray hair cascading gently over her shoulders, giving off a quiet, serene atmosphere.
In her mind, organizing the house was not something Xu Xi should have to worry about.
But Xu Xi only smiled, "It’s fine, Krisha. I have nothing else to do today anyway."
Although this world had extraordinary forces, Xu Xi didn’t intend to cultivate.
That would be unnecessary and would only defeat the purpose.
He came here to accompany Krisha, not for power.
"Come on, Krisha. I’ll cook today."
"Eh...?"
Krisha stood stunned, clearly not expecting that.
She quickly recovered, hurrying to catch up with Xu Xi, stepping into the warm sunlight and onto the elongated shadows they cast.
It wasn’t Ellenson City.
It wasn’t the magic world.
But the sun’s light was still bright, still guiding her forward.
Tidying up the mansion didn’t take long.
Neither Xu Xi nor Krisha were particularly picky about living conditions.
They just rearranged a few pieces of furniture and cleaned off the surface dust.
Then Xu Xi cooked a hearty meal.
Outside, the sky darkened heavily, the sunset casting an orange-red hue like a giant brushstroke sweeping across the land.
With that lingering light, and Krisha’s occasional assistance, Xu Xi managed to complete the first dinner of this simulation before night fully descended.
The aroma of the food drifted through the house, driving away its earlier emptiness.
"What’s wrong, Krisha?"
Krisha, who had been eating happily, suddenly stopped moving. Xu Xi noticed immediately.
"It’s wonderful, Master..."
"Being able to stay with you like this... it’s really wonderful..."
A few strands of her silver-gray hair slipped over her forehead, swaying in front of her glittering red-and-gold eyes.
Those eyes, which had once been filled with bleak emptiness, now reflected Xu Xi’s figure and a faint, fleeting happiness.
Krisha was genuinely happy.
Happy to be able to have time alone with Xu Xi.
Even though it was brief, Xu Xi clearly saw the ripples of emotion in her heart.
"There’s still plenty of time, Krisha," Xu Xi said, his voice gentle. He picked up a thick piece of meat and placed it into Krisha’s bowl.
This small act seemed to trigger something.
Krisha tilted her head, staring first at her own bowl, then at Xu Xi’s, and then she made a decision.
"Master, please eat this."
"And this."
"And also this."
In just a few moments, Krisha had stacked Xu Xi’s bowl into a small mountain of food.
Afterward, she stared at him with empty, expectant eyes.
"Thank you, Krisha," Xu Xi said with a helpless smile. Only after hearing his thanks did Krisha, like a victorious general, begin eating her own portion.
This was so very Krisha.
...
Late at night, Xu Xi was preparing for sleep.
The mansion stood silently in the hazy darkness.
Through the windows, a few bright constellations could be seen, and occasionally a swift wind-type magical beast would streak across the sky.
Xu Xi glanced at the scene once and closed the curtains.
After a full day of work, and with only a mortal’s body in this simulation, it was natural that he felt tired.
But—
"Krisha, aren’t you going to leave?" he asked, glancing at the witch sitting quietly in the corner of the dim room lit only by a single weak candle.
"Master, I must protect your safety," she said seriously.
"Your body is very fragile now. Only by staying by your side can I guarantee your absolute safety."
Krisha was dead serious.
She knew that death in the simulation wouldn’t truly harm Xu Xi.
But she didn’t want to see even a simulated version of him suffer.
The witch rejected anything that could bring Xu Xi pain.
Xu Xi chuckled, "That won’t happen, Krisha."
"Didn’t you already set a protective barrier around my room? It can resist any attack."
Krisha shook her head, "It’s not enough. Far from enough..."
She wanted to stay by his side until he woke up.
"But if you’re only thinking about me, what about your own rest?" Xu Xi coaxed her gently.
Finally, they reached a compromise—
Krisha would stay in the adjacent room so that she could still respond immediately if anything happened.
"It’s time to sleep," Xu Xi said.
After settling Krisha’s worries, he returned to his own bedroom.
As fatigue crept over him, he lay down on the bed and quickly drifted into sleep.
The crescent moon brushed past the misty edges of the night sky.
His thoughts floated across the sea of stars.
And so, he fell asleep, accompanied by gentle dreams.
