“You are not her, and she is not as good as I imagined, but... I am willing to like her. If there is an afterlife, and you happen to become the person I like, then I will definitely take you away.”
Zhao Xi chuckled to herself, "What's this? I haven't even agreed to let you pursue me, and now you're saying it's impossible for us in this lifetime."
The little dragon has grown up.
She didn't know when it started, but she had begun to see Hoshino as a man.
"I didn't mean to refuse you, it was out of necessity." Hoshino's eyes were deep and dark, reflecting the flickering candlelight, his voice hoarse and low.
After a long silence, Zhao Xi sighed with relief, "In any case, are you willing to help us?"

The rescued survivors came to Stargate again to deliver gifts. This time, they brought newly grown vegetables, which they had planted themselves.
The flood washed away homes, but it also made the land more fertile.
The fresh vegetables are lush and green, tender to the touch, and crisp and refreshing after a quick boil.
The disciples of the Star Gate then realized that doing good deeds could bring people to their door to repay their kindness, and suddenly discovered how interesting mortals were.
Ever since that mortal leader arrived at the Star Gate, delicious aromas have wafted through it every few days. One moment it's stewing some meat, the next it's simmering some soup. She even frequently teaches people how to cook in front of the large mirror in the training ground.
The disciples of the Demonic Sect didn't need to practice; whenever they had free time, they would gather around to watch, trying to learn a few moves. The Demonic Sect was now surprisingly filled with a sense of everyday life.
What shocked them most was that once they had filled their stomachs, they seemed to rely less on demonic energy.
What if they used it sparingly? If they didn't use swords or spells, then there would be no consumption of demonic energy.
If it's not being used, why replenish it?
Why did they devour other demons in the first place?
But these good days didn't last long. For some unknown reason, the entire immortal realm was covered by strong winds and heavy snow.
Many mortals froze to death and then came to the immortal sect seeking refuge.
The Star Gate disciples themselves were freezing, but they stopped killing indiscriminately. Instead, they gathered these mortals together and worked together to find ways to keep warm.
But no matter how hard the disciples suffer, the Demon Lord and his wife will not be cold.
call out--
The magical bow and arrow shot from a thousand miles away and embedded itself in the sect's plaque.
"Damn it, this plaque was made by Cuihua's father. The two characters 'Star Gate' are so beautiful, and now there's a hole in it!"
"Isn't that great? We were just worried about not having enough firewood! Let's burn this too. I think our Demon Lord won't mind."
The disciples climbed the ladder and removed the arrow, only to find a letter attached to the end of the arrow.
He unfolded it and took a look.
"To my wife Zhao Xixiang... My wife?! Oh no! The Water God has come to harass our Demon Lord's wife!"
backyard.
Zhao Xi wanted to wear a thick coat, comb her hair up, and warm herself by the fire in the yard. Just as she was lamenting to Xingye about how strange the day was and how it was getting colder, she heard her disciple bring her a letter.
"To my wife Zhao Xixiang?" Zhao Xixiang's confused expression was the same as the disciple's. She continued reading, "Seeing this letter is like seeing you in person... I miss you very much, but I cannot see you. I miss my wife... What was that word again... Red lips, bright teeth, clear eyes, and dimples? Why is she praising me? The sentence sounds familiar."
Hoshino leaned over for a look, then frowned: "It was written by the Water God."
Zhao Xi just smiled and didn't answer.
According to the animals at the Hundred Beasts Garden, Lin Che never went back after divorcing her, and no one knows where he went.
If Lin Che were to deliver a love letter, it would only be a message carried by fish, or a downpour would fall on the star gate.
Moreover, he knew that Zhao Xixiang didn't like this kind of literary stuff.
This love letter, which can be written on paper, definitely wasn't sent by him.
It seems that she hadn't awakened for a long time, and someone couldn't wait any longer.
She handed the love letter to Hoshino and gave him a meaningful look.
Hoshino, dragging his fur cloak, stood up from the brazier, summoned his spirit sword, and loudly berated Zhao Xi, "How long has it been since your messy affair with him? You're my wife now, and he still dares to send you this kind of thing?!"
"My Lord Demon Lord, that's not how it is! Please let me explain!"
"You stay here and reflect on your mistakes. I'm going to the Hundred Beasts Garden to settle accounts with him!" He took off on his sword and left the Star Gate.
Zhao Xi picked up the letter he had thrown away, carefully folded it, and went back into the house.
midnight.
A slight noise came from the window, and someone climbed in and quietly placed a mirror on Zhao Xixiang's bedside table.
A spiritual light shone forth, and the past life of the woman on the bed appeared in the mirror.
"Chirp chirp chirp~"
"?" The intruder was stunned, thinking the mirror was broken. He slapped it and then pointed it at Zhao Xi on the bed again.
"Chirp chirp chirp~"
The image reflected in the mirror was clearly a baby chick.
On the bed, the Star Gate disciple suddenly sat up, and the Immortal Binding Rope hidden under the pillow shot out.
The infiltrator raised his hand to defend himself, and a dozen whirlwinds suddenly appeared in the room, destroying furniture. More people were exposed.
"hateful!"
The infiltrator cursed under his breath and hurriedly tried to retreat.
But as soon as he landed in the yard, he heard a loud crack.
Two lids appeared simultaneously above and below, completely enclosing all eight directions.
This is the Eight Gates Star-Fixing Formation!
Wuxing quickly located the gates of life and death, formed hand seals, and continuously unleashed whirlwinds towards the entrances. However, the whirlwinds seemed to be absorbed, instead reinforcing the formation.
“You’re not as clever as your master. Your master has never revealed his true face since he started planning this.” Zhao Xi walked out of the darkness with her hands behind her back, followed by Xingye and dozens of Xingmen disciples. Among them was a woman lying on the bed, whose figure was similar to hers.
It turns out she was a body double!
Wuxing never expected this move; he didn't even realize there was something wrong with the love letter he sent.
"A scholar can be killed but not humiliated! Even if you kill me, you won't live long! Just until the next full moon, even if you don't awaken, my master's plan will continue. At that time, the entire Immortal Realm will be buried with me, and I will be resurrected by my master!" Wuxing stood in the center of the formation, shouting loudly, and even laughed arrogantly a few times.
"Oh, really? Since you can be resurrected anyway, why don't you just die now?"
"..." Wuxing suddenly couldn't speak.
Zhao Xi sighed, "I don't lie to a true person. You impersonated Pang Zhiyuan and stole the sword immortal's spirit stones and treasures, and later infiltrated the alliance to buy and sell rare monsters. This shows that you have material desires. If your master really cared about you, why would you do such petty things? If your master was really that powerful, why didn't he just casually make some Wind Spirit Pearls for you to sell for money?"
Wuxing was speechless, only glaring fiercely at her: "You wretched woman, don't talk nonsense, I am my master's only disciple!"
"It's late, everyone should rest." Hoshino's disciples withdrew.
Everyone went back to their rooms.
the next day.
"Are you even human?! Why are you eating hotpot right next to me?! Get out of here! Get away from me!" His snarky tongue was just like Pang Zhiyuan's.
