The moment the floating city flew high, Gu Qingshan also breathed a sigh of relief.
At some point, Xiao Xi was standing beside him, quietly looking at the scene under the sky.
"Finally it's coming out." Xiao Xi said with emotion.
"Is this the monster?" Gu Qingshan asked.
"It's it. These hands are just its skin. The real thing is still half asleep and half awake." Xiao Xi said.
Gu Qingshan looked at her and said: "It turns out that you have fought against such a being. It is really unimaginable."
Xiao Xi thought about it: "I originally thought that the ancient world-eating demonic insect could successfully pacify it, but who knows, it also failed. I wonder if the gods have other methods."
"No matter what the gods think, is there any way we can escape from here now?" Gu Qingshan asked.
"No, I'm too weak now." Xiao Xi sighed.
The two of them paused and looked towards the black market in unison.
I saw that the entire black market, except for the console that controlled the flying city, was in chaos.
Fight, kill, loot, destroy...
People flocked to various stores like crazy, grabbing things they saw that were useful to them, and if they encountered any obstruction, fights would break out.
Some people began to seek revenge and retaliate against injustice.
Fighting started in various places.
Fortunately, Gu Qingshan chose a remote location at the edge of the flight center. There was no treasure worth searching for, and no one had arrived yet.
Listening to the roaring sound in the distance, Xiao Xi said in confusion: "It is already a desperate situation of death, why are they still like this?"
Gu Qingshan glanced at her and asked: "When you were not sealed in the past, you had very little contact with living beings?"
"Yes, in addition to fighting monsters every day, I just sleep..." Xiao Xi looked at the endless killings and fights in the black market and asked, "Why are they all acting crazy?"
Gu Qingshan said: "This is the nature of all living beings."
"The nature of all living beings..." Xiao Xi said incomprehensibly: "When in a desperate environment, the temperament of all living beings will change drastically?"
"It's not a big change in temperament, this is their true temperament - these things will temporarily subside after those powerful people are satisfied."
After Gu Qingshan finished speaking, he took out something from behind his back.
A pot.
Various condiments and ingredients are also placed on the table.
He made a trick, drained water from the air to wash the pot, and then started to process the ingredients.
Xiao Xi said in surprise: "What are you doing?"
"Well - this is also the nature of all living beings." Gu Qingshan said.
Since arriving at the hegemony area, he has not had a bite of hot food. He just took another bite of extremely unpalatable food, and finally couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to get something to eat.
He moved very quickly and had several dishes and a pot of soup ready in a short time.
"Since the enemy is completely out of reach, I have to eat something first - only when I'm full can I have the energy to think about problems." Gu Qingshan said.
Xiao Xi looked at the dishes, her nose twitched, and her face showed envy.
"Can you eat so much by yourself?" she asked.
"Of course not, come and eat with me."
Gu Qingshan asked her to sit down.
At this time, Xiao Xi felt a little embarrassed.
"What's wrong with you?" Gu Qingshan saw something was wrong with her and asked with squinted eyes.
Xiao Xi hesitated and said, "I-I might not be suitable for this."
Gu Qingshan was a little surprised: "It's just a meal, what's the matter?"
Xiao Xi's eyes fell on the steaming food and she said softly: "The gods told me that there are only two things in my life, fighting and sleeping."
"Fighting can eliminate evil, and sleeping can restore strength."
"Other than that, I cannot do any behavior that sentient beings do, because that will make me gradually fall."
Gu Qingshan was silent for a moment and asked: "So you have never eaten food?"
"Yes."
"Besides fighting and sleeping, you haven't done anything else?"
"...That's not the case. When I gradually began to observe the world, I felt changes in myself."
"What change?" Gu Qingshan asked.
Xiao Xi said: "I began to feel that some things are close to it."
"For example?" Gu Qingshan asked.
Xiao Xi took out a card and handed it to Gu Qingshan.
Gu Qingshan looked over.
On the card is a bouquet of pink flowers.
He flicked the card.
A bouquet of pink flowers with a faint fragrance appeared in the hand.
"It's so beautiful." Gu Qingshan sighed.
He handed the flowers to Xiao Xi.
Xiao Xi held the flower and sniffed it a few times, with a smile on her face.
"Once, I eliminated the evil in a world, and when I left, I accidentally discovered the existence of flowers. I didn't know why, so I collected a bunch."
"Since then, every time I go to a world, I will look for some flowers and collect them."
"The gods noticed this behavior of mine. They thought it was strange and asked me why I did this."
"How did you answer?" Gu Qingshan asked.
Xiao Xi said with a look of reminiscence: "I said - I like these flowers, and I also like traveling between worlds."
"From that day on, the gods' attitude toward me changed."
"Changed?" Gu Qingshan asked.
"They seem to be avoiding me - but there is a goddess who likes flowers. Why can she like flowers but not me?" Xiao Xi asked in confusion.
Facing her flawless eyes, Gu Qingshan was speechless for a moment.
Xiao Xi continued: "After that, the gods asked me to come to this world to fight the monster underground. When I sealed the monster with all my strength, the gods appeared."
"They put a seal on me and I fell into a deep sleep - until recently."
Gu Qingshan said: "Let's go back to the question just now. The gods don't allow you to do anything other than fight and sleep, so do they usually have food themselves?"
"Ah, yes, the gods like to hold banquets the most." Xiao Xi seemed to have remembered something, showing a hint of envy.
Gu Qingshan smiled silently.
He scooped up a bowl of soup himself and placed it gently in front of Xiao Xi.
"Try it," he said.
Xiao Xi said anxiously: "But I have never had anything to drink."
Gu Qingshan smiled and said: "I promise you, the soup I made is worth trying."
Xiao Xi looked at him.
He nodded.
Xiao Xi took a deep breath and said to herself: "Actually, I have always been curious about what eating feels like."
She picked up the bowl and carefully sipped it on the edge of the bowl.
"How does it taste?" Gu Qingshan asked.
He found that he was a little nervous.
This was the first time he felt this emotion in so many years since he started his business.
Xiao Xi stayed for a while.
She lowered her head and wiped the corners of her eyes with her hands.
"I... don't know how to describe this feeling."
She said softly and held up the bowl again.
