Chapter 101: The Battlefield of Gods

"The Yuelan Universe is even older than the Yabe Universe. Its spark of civilization gave rise to many universes, including the Yuan Shou Shi where my mother and many of my uncles, aunts, brothers, and sisters reside."

"Since there is birth, there must be an end." Su Xi ate the meat bun in her hand in one bite. "Whether it is energy, space, time, or many other things, only that which remains unchanged can be eternal."

Fei Er Si Te looked at Su Xi. "Then, will you change toward me?"

"Inevitably." Su Xi replied without hesitation: "I have been curious about you, loved you, hated you, let you go, and now I have returned to the starting point; I have many new curiosities about you again."

Fei Er Si Te looked at her in shock. "You..."

"At a time you didn't know, my feelings for you already completed a cycle!" Su Xi looked into his eyes. "I don't know how many people have tasted such an experience, but for me, I cherish it very much."

Fei Er Si Te lowered his eyelashes, hiding the deep affection in his eyes that was about to become uncontrollable. "For you, I have only expectations!"

Su Xi looked at Fei Er Si Te. "How old are you?"

Fei Er Si Te was stumped by the question, and it took him a good while to mumble in reply: "I don't know."

"..." Su Xi was speechless: "You don't know how old you are?"

"He truly doesn't know. We often shuttle through various timelines and universes, and we have long since forgotten our own lifespans." A man wearing a fox mask and dressed in formal attire suddenly appeared.

Seeing him, Su Xi blurted out, "Qing Kong?"

"Just call me Brother." Qing Kong took off the fox mask on his face, revealing a handsome, bewitching face. Those eyes were like hooks, capable of hooking away the soul of anyone who saw him. The flawless, exquisite face was beyond anything one could imagine; one could fall for it at a single glance!

Seeing that Su Xi was staring at Qing Kong in a daze, Fei Er Si Te picked up the mask and snapped it back onto Qing Kong. "What are you here for?"

Qing Kong replied: "To go to the battlefield with you. Xiao Shi Qi said he was heartbroken, so he asked me to come and cover his shift."

"He's heartbroken?" Fei Er Si Te's face immediately darkened.

Qing Kong took off the mask again and looked at Su Xi. "Are you going too?"

"I am going." Su Xi looked at Qing Kong's face, blushing involuntarily, and then picked up new tableware. "Brother, eat."

Qing Kong gave Su Xi a small golden Storage Bag. "Mm! A gift from Brother to you."

"Thank you, Brother." Su Xi received it with both hands.

Fei Er Si Te looked at Su Xi. "Why do you accept what he gives you, but not what I give you?"

Su Xi: "..."

Qing Kong was curious. "What did you give her?"

Fei Er Si Te immediately took out that beautiful pouch again, along with the ring-shaped Storage Treasure he had prepared.

Qing Kong immediately patted him on the head. "Is a ring something you just give away casually?"

"... Oh." Fei Er Si Te put away the ring, holding only the pouch, and peered at Su Xi.

Su Xi received it with both hands. "Please thank Aunt Su for me."

Qing Kong glanced sideways at Fei Er Si Te. "You still have a long way to go!"

Su Xi pursed her lips and smiled, then took a jar of wine out from her System Space. "Brother, this is 'Burning Blade' that I brewed myself."

"Oh?" Qing Kong's eyes were full of interest. "Let me taste it."

It was intense as it went down the throat, as if a fire was traveling down, burning until the whole body felt clear and smooth, with a refreshing, hot aftertaste. "Good wine!"

Fei Er Si Te had never drunk it before, so he immediately poured a cup to taste it as well.

Upon drinking it, he also opened his eyes in surprise. "It is indeed excellent!"

"Give me some." Qing Kong looked at Su Xi with a smile.

Su Xi gave him a Storage Bag. "I am honored that you do not mind it, Brother."

Qing Kong put it away. "Good stuff! Make more when you have time, and I will help you sell it."

Su Xi laughed: "I just make it for fun; I never thought about using it to make money." Whenever she missed her parents, she would brew some wine according to her father's recipe.

Fei Er Si Te: "Don't pay attention to him; he just likes making money."

Su Xi: "Liking to make money is quite good, at least you don't lack money to spend. Many troubles in this world are caused by having no money."

"Hm? Are you short on money?" Fei Er Si Te immediately opened the system.

Su Xi hurriedly said: "I was just speaking generally."

Qing Kong picked up the wine jar and poured for himself. "That is very well said. Sister-in-law, let's have a drink~"

Su Xi immediately raised her wine glass, but when she was about to drink, she realized what he had called her. "Um, just call me Xiao Xi."

"Hehe~" Qing Kong looked at Fei Er Si Te with a teasing gaze.

Fei Er Si Te also raised his wine glass, the roots of his ears turning slightly red. "Brother, don't talk nonsense."

After two rounds of drinks, Fei Er Si Te and Qing Kong simultaneously received a notification from the battlefield—

【God-level War Observer Treasure Box notification: Please, God of the Yuan Shou Shi—Qing Kong, enter the battlefield.】

【God-level War Observer Treasure Box notification: Please, God of the Yabe Universe—Fei Er Si Te Yan, bring God-favored Su Xi, and enter the battlefield.】

"We belong to two different universes; will we end up facing each other?" Su Xi asked Qing Kong.

Qing Kong said: "We will, just fight when the time comes."

Su Xi: "... Will Xiao Mi come later too?"

Fei Er Si Te said: "That will have to wait until she grows up; it will be a long time. If you want to see her, after this battle ends, I will take you to the Yuan Shou Shi to visit."

"You said that the Yuan Shou Shi is a civilization derived from the Yuelan Universe, right?"

"Correct."

"I want to go take a look."

"Alright."

Fei Er Si Te held Su Xi's hand and entered the battlefield portal.

In a vast, empty void, blurry figures stood in the air.

Su Xi looked at Fei Er Si Te, who was holding her hand.

He whispered, "Don't worry, the two of us are together."

On her other side was the blurry figure of Qing Kong, "You two aren't here to fight, you're clearly here on a date to show off your affection; watch out for getting struck by lightning!"

"I'm willing even if I get struck by lightning." Fei Er Si Te looked at Su Xi with a meaningful gaze.

Su Xi shot him a reproachful glare, "Why are you looking at me? I'm skilled at using a whip."

Fei Er Si Te's gaze deepened.

Qing Kong chuckled, "You two sure know how to play!"

Su Xi's face turned beet red instantly, "No, I mean I am genuinely skilled at using a whip, and also a mace."

Fei Er Si Te said, "Whatever you use on me is fine."

Qing Kong immediately clutched his waist and laughed out loud.

Su Xi: "...... I can't explain this anymore!"

A line of text appeared in the air—【Shen Ming Zhan Chang Match No. XQTK—Awakening of Insects.】
