Xi Che looked at Xing Xi in front of him.
The silver-haired girl still didn't wake up.
Although her breathing was steady, she looked no different from sleeping. Moreover, Xia personally took action to ensure that all hidden dangers in her body were eliminated and the power in her body was straightened out.
From the perspective of the Wanjie Linglong Pearl, this enhancement is worth one million merit points.
It was an astronomical figure that Xi Che could not even imagine.
But now Xingxi has slept for three days and three nights, and there is still no sign of waking up.
Maybe she would sleep again.
Correspondingly, the ancestor also fell asleep.
And the kind that will never wake up again.
After Xixi asked Xiche to leave that day, she herself fell asleep peacefully in the palace. When the female officer who served the next day came to check, she discovered that the old woman who had been in charge of the Ste Empire for nearly two hundred years had already Gone peacefully in his sleep.
Three hundred years old is considered a long life even in this world, not to mention passing away in one's sleep can also be called the end of one's life without any illness.
This is of course also a joy and a loss without a doubt.
But even so, the entire imperial city was still plunged into great panic and sadness.
After all, the old man seemed to be in good spirits the day before, but after just one night, he suddenly left this world. This is a huge sadness that is difficult to accept for anyone.
Almost everyone has become accustomed to living step-by-step under the wings of this old man. The throne has been stepped up in an orderly manner. Although she does not directly interfere in national affairs, every emperor of Ste will consult and respect the opinions of this old woman. .
Originally, the empire had been operating stably for nearly two hundred years under this mechanism. During the long period of recuperation, the once arrogant empire slowly recovered from its once riddled body.
But when he woke up, the leader of the empire had left. This was even more shocking and frightening than the death of the emperor.
However, fortunately, Xice, the current Emperor of Ste, was well prepared.
For him, the emperor, the passing of his ancestor was also the removal of a tight curse on his head. He methodically issued orders one after another to stabilize the situation and people's hearts.
However, for Xi Che, the strange thing is that no one cares about him.
At this critical time point, he can still freely enter and leave the Longevity Palace. Even if the time for Xixi's funeral has been determined, he can still guard Xingxi here who is still sleeping.
The biggest impact of the whole incident on the outside world is that the ancestor's original three hundred year birthday suddenly turned into a three hundred year old birthday.
However, the list of guests who needed to be invited before does not even need to be changed now, it is just endlessly embarrassing.
"If you don't wake up yet, you won't even be able to see your ancestor for the last time." Xi Che looked at Xing Xi and continued.
The girl was still sleeping, not even moving her long eyelashes.
Xi Che sighed and reached out to hold Xing Xi's wrist.
At that moment, his body quickly rose above the nine heavens, to the white jade square filled with white mist.
"Pay fifty points of merit to summon Xing Xi here." Xi Che was not stingy about his merit at this time.
The next moment, Xing Xi's body appeared in front of Xi Che, but even though she was summoned here, she was still sleeping.
Because the most tired thing now is not her body, but her spirit.
However, Xiche was already prepared for this. He looked at the girl who was still sleeping in front of him and gently picked her up.
Xi Che, who was holding Xing Xi, came step by step to a white jade pillar.
The cooldown time of the mission has already been reversed, but it was temporarily delayed by Xi Che because of Xing Xi's health.
But now, Xi Che stretched out a hand and pressed it on the light pillar.
The white light falling from the sky instantly enveloped Xi Che and Xing Xi.
…
…
After experiencing a moment of weightlessness and confusion, Xiche finally stood on solid ground again.
Above our heads is a gorgeous starry sky.
"It's truly a thousand calamities." Xi Che murmured.
While waiting for Xingxi to wake up, Xiche just had time to practice the Thousand Tribulations last taught to him by his ancestors.
In fact, the so-called Thousand Tribulations is just a combination of some breathing and some exercises. The overall feeling is a bit like yoga or martial arts.
But after practicing with the power of the sun, Xi Che felt the breadth and depth of this set of techniques.
Because what it is actually doing is one thing, which is to exercise all the meridians, muscles, including bones in the body to the extreme again and again, even to the point of tearing and smashing, and then growing and reshaping.
This is countless times more tyrannical than simply washing the marrow and cutting off the hair, because this kind of tearing and reorganization will never end.
Therefore, it is a thousand kalpas, and cultivating it means experiencing endless problem solving.
But after just practicing for a few days, and with the aid of healing elixirs, Xi Che can now easily accept the appraisal of apprentice-level tasks, and bring Xing Xi in safely, even without the side effects of teleportation. and dizziness can be avoided.
And has that man practiced this set of exercises for three hundred years?
Xiche murmured to himself.
In his arms, Xing Xi struggled a little and then opened her eyes.
"Where am I?" Xingxi asked, "Am I not dead?"
"No." Xiche replied.
The reason why I chose to bring Xingxi into the mission is because the Wanjie Linglong Pearl has a free wake-up function when entering the mission, and it is absolutely safe.
After all, Xing Xi could not continue to sleep endlessly.
"What about mother-in-law?" Xingxi continued to ask.
"The ancestor has left." Xi Che said calmly, looking at the starry sky above his head.
Xingxi was a little stunned.
In fact, this was something she had already expected.
But when it all happened, she was still so shocked that she couldn't accept it.
"Is it because of me?" Xingxi asked.
"This is a long story. You can say it's because of you, or you can say it's not." Xiche replied.
"The fundamental reason is that the ancestor is already very tired, so she wants to find a chance to take a good rest, and you are a good opportunity."
"Liar." Xing Xi said quietly.
"Whether I lied or not, at least our ancestor is really gone." Xiche bit his lip gently and said, "I came here to wake you up because I want you to send my ancestor on his last journey."
"Of course, there is one more important thing for you."
Xi Che looked at the starry sky and said quietly.
"What's going on?" Xingxi asked.
"No one in this world can protect you anymore." Xi Che said slowly.
He still held Xing Xi's hand, but said extremely sad words.
