“Capital Satellite TV reminds you: The Earth Destiny Community, led by Huaxia, will hold the 17th Extraordinary Conference on the 25th of this month.”
“Breaking news: Rift NT-56 and Rift KC-07 are about to appear in Weichuan City. Citizens, please prepare for shockwave protection.”
“Recently, the number of extraordinary individuals in our country has risen sharply. Director Li Wanshou gave an important statent.”
“[If any of you cause chaos or disasters, this old man knows a bit of immortal arts.]”
“According to reliable statistics, the rate of extraordinary cri has significantly declined.”
The elevation of Earth.
The spread of supernatural power.
All of it brought a series of changes.
With the influx of countless Rifts, Earth's surface area expanded, and from now on, humanity would no longer need to worry about lacking living space in the future. However, at the sa ti, the beings from other realms within the Rifts began to interact with humans—sotis with friction, sotis with tentative exchanges.
Among them were even beings on the level of gods or immortals.
Were they friendly?
Or hostile?
Humans couldn't know the answer right away. They could only confirm it through exploration, trial, and error. The sa went for those otherworldly beings. With a mixture of curiosity and caution, they studied everything on Earth.
“Master, why won’t you let intervene?”
In a place beyond dinsions, in a layer separate from Earth, Xu Xi walked through the void, observing the overall changes on Earth. The ever-loyal automaton followed behind, tilting her head in confusion.
The rging of all realms was pushing Earth’s order toward chaos. But if Ailei stepped in—or any of the girls in the courtyard—then with their Supre-level omnipotence, they could easily fix everything. They could force Earth’s order into absolute peace.
“Ailei, sotis, intervening completely isn’t a good thing.”
“Gentle guidance and a bit of wind and rain help flowers bloom with unique beauty.”
Xu Xi explained gently.
This wasn’t just his opinion. It was also what Li Wanshou believed—the conclusion from their discussions.
Indeed, Supre-level power could change everything.
But what the Supre thought was right might not be what people truly wanted.
If things continued, the order on Earth would no longer be shaped by “people,” but instead be a rigid structure defined entirely by the will of a Supre being.
So rather than having the girls directly rewrite reality, Xu Xi preferred to guide it.
He had already shared many of his insights into supernatural power, provided intel about other worlds, and even donated large amounts of Dragon Blood Grass without expecting anything in return. In addition, he offered a wide range of supernatural tools. The Extraordinary Bureau, backed by the governnt and rich in talent, had begun improving based on all this.
“I think… I understand what you an.”
Ailei blinked.
The silver-blue pupils reflected the trails of light.
Yes.
She understood it better than anyone.
Back on the Federation Planet, Xu Xi had awakened Dostic Bot 9090, gave her a new na, and never restricted her. He only guided her gently.
That light and warmth—Ailei would never forget it.
“Let’s go, Ailei. Ti to head back.”
“Yes, Master.”
Ailei quickly followed, her silver-blue eyes rippling with light as she gazed at Xu Xi’s back and followed with graceful steps.
The space buzzed.
Light and shadow intertwined.
Amid the overlap of reality and illusion, Xu Xi and Ailei left the higher dinsion and returned to the city of Yanshan.
Before heading back to the courtyard, Ailei said she wanted to buy sothing.
“Ailei, what do you want to buy?”
“Ingredients for nourishing soup.”
Her answer was concise.
She said that with Earth’s ascension, more extraordinary ingredients had entered the market. It was the perfect ti to develop new soup flavors.
“I see…”
Xu Xi wanted to say sothing—like how normal nourishing soups no longer had any effect on him. After all, he was a man who had combined the paths of Immortal, Divine, Martial, and Sorcery. But looking into Ailei’s overly serious expression, he couldn’t bring himself to refuse.
“Then I’ll leave it to you, Ailei.”
“Serving you is my honor.”
She gracefully lifted her skirt and responded calmly.
Her overly perfect face shone uniquely in the sunlight—the light brushing over her nose, the shadows under her neck—all blending and intersecting.
“Master, to avoid getting separated, please hold my hand.”
“Is that really necessary?”
“This is a preventive safety asure, Master.”
The automaton was too loyal.
In the shimring sunlight, Ailei took Xu Xi’s hand on her own, interlocking their fingers, one by one.
[36 Strategies of Winning Love], Strategy No. 21:
Physical contact significantly increases affection from the opposite sex—a highly effective tactic.
“Mm…”
“What’s wrong, Ailei?”
“Master’s hand… it’s warm.”
Things weren’t going quite as the automaton expected.
The human body she created for herself—
Was now beating with an abnormally fast heart.
So that’s what it was.
The killing power of Strategy 21 didn’t discriminate by who initiated the hand-holding.
Ailei held his hand tighter. She felt her knowledge expand by 1.
“Thanks for the complint.” Xu Xi gave a helpless laugh and, still holding hands, walked with Ailei toward the city’s shopping center.
The sun was glaring.
Like a sharp sword cutting through clouds, so bright it made them squint instinctively.
Xu Xi looked at the sumr heat and drifted into thought.
He rembered the fourth simulation—when he first created Ailei’s synthetic skin, and they spent that illusionary sumr together.
Back then, Xu Xi had given Ailei his hopes and blessings, believing that one day, this faint humanoid form would break free of cold chanical constraints and feel true joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.
Looking at her now, it seed that mont had already co true.
“Ailei.”
“Yes, I’m here.”
“There’s hardly anyone around now. Still not letting go?”
“Rejected. Even when it’s quiet, there’s still a chance we get separated.”
Ailei said it seriously.
…
Ailei was a great bodyguard. In the presence of Supre power, no one could disturb this rare mont of peace. At the sa ti, she was also an excellent maid—able to pick high-quality ingredients with extre precision.
Though… her standards were a bit odd.
“Solar Fruit, highly nourishing.”
“Yang Spirit Flower, also very nourishing.”
“Great Sun Sparrow at, perfect for soup.”
After a strict selection, Ailei quickly purchased the ingredients for nourishing soup, and also picked up so additional items for the courtyard’s daily use.
“Ailei, you’re really capable.”
Xu Xi smiled and gave his praise.
And so—
Ailei’s ears twitched rapidly. Despite her elegant and composed maid-like deanor, she looked almost too adorable.
“To serve you better, I still have much to learn,”
She said this while trying to keep her expression calm and her voice steady.
Very good.
Keep going just like this.
The Ailei Express—still pushing forward!
Once the shopping was done, Xu Xi and Ailei began heading back to the courtyard.
On the way, Ailei naturally took Xu Xi’s hand again.
“For Master’s safety,” she explained confidently.
