Machines that run at high speeds will get hot if they work for too long.

Exercising at full strength will make a living being feel tired and painful.

This is normal.

The rules by which the world operates.

But now, Xu Xi's situation is worse than this. His body is getting older and older, and he can no longer bear the spirit of the Sanctuary Mage.

A situation of one weak and one strong.

The weak body can only dilute and share the mental pressure through sleep.

This means that in the future, Xu Xi will often fall into a deep sleep until he dies.

This is irreversible.

Cannot be changed.

In the study, Xu Xi looked at the result of his calculation and fell silent.

He didn't expect that his already limited lifespan would be further changed because of such an incident. It seemed that the upper limit of his lifespan had not changed, but minus the time of sleeping, it was really very little.

and--

Xu Xi sighed: "Who can guarantee that the next sleep will not be true death?"

Now thinking back.

The so-called sense of comfort before was clearly a sign of the soul returning to the underworld.

In that hazy state between soul and body, perhaps if one is not careful, one will fall into death.

"trouble."

Xu Xi picked up the calculation paper and scanned the calculation results on it. Finally, in the silent atmosphere, flames appeared from his fingers and burned the paper to ashes.

About death.

About life.

The Xu family had already prepared to face it.

The only thing that worries him is the witch who doesn't understand joy or sorrow, or emotions.

In this magical world, the only person Chrisa can rely on and trust is Xu Xi. If Xu Xi really died suddenly, she dare not imagine what would happen.

"This matter...cannot be kept secret from the child."

"It may be hard for Krisa to accept if we tell her in advance, but at least there will be a buffer process."

"If I had kept it a secret from her."

"Then, when the day comes that I actually die, Krisa will only be more desperate."

Turn the knob to turn off the light.

Xu Xi left the study.

…

[You told the witch the truth of the matter, but to your surprise, the witch did not show any difficulty in accepting the expression. She is stronger than you thought.]

[You are very relieved. You don't seem to worry too much about the witch's future. You habitually think about the witch and completely forget that the witch has traveled around the world with you and has accumulated a lot of life experience and a mature enough mentality to handle affairs.]

"Teacher."

"What's wrong, Krisa?"

"Please leave everything to me."

"all?"

"Yes," Krisa said in a calm voice without any color, with her hands folded, sitting opposite Xu Xi.

"Please allow me to take over all matters in the courtyard, including your care during your sleep."

In a smooth, uninterrupted voice.

Unexpectedly, there is a touch of determination.

"I will take good care of you and everything about you," the immortal witch promised.

"Thank you for your hard work, Krisha," Xu Xi smiled and gave his trust without reservation.

…

[Simulation of the 62nd year, you are 76 years old, Krisa is 68 years old]

[With your consent, Krisa has taken over all matters in the courtyard, including your flowers, your books, your information, and your magic.]

[Even you, yourself, were handed over to Krisa’s care]

[You sometimes wonder if this is an alternative inheritance, but you reject the idea because you are still alive.]

[Simulation of the 63rd year, you are 77 years old, Krisa is 69 years old]

[Your sleeping frequency has increased, and your sleeping time has increased. In the most recent sleep, you slept for half a month.]

[When you wake up, you hear the passage of time from the witch, and you feel an extremely strong trance]

[Simulation of the 67th year, you are 81 years old, Chrisa is 73 years old]

[The half-month sleep that you once marveled at has now become your lowest sleep time. You often wake up to find that the four seasons have already changed.]

[The witch takes good care of the dragon blood grass]

[You enter the courtyard to check and find that the dragon blood grass is growing very well. You find some undried dragon blood on the grass leaves.]

[You criticized and educated the witch, and taught her what sustainable development is. The witch listened and decided to switch to a dragon to take blood next time.]

[Simulation of the 71st year, you are 85 years old, Krisa is 77 years old]

[You set a new record for sleeping]

[This time, you slept for a full six months. When you woke up, you were greeted by the witch who was never late.]

"Welcome back, Mentor."

In the quiet room, the echo of loneliness reverberates.

Xu Xi's consciousness gradually became clear. Before he opened his eyes completely, he heard Krisha's greeting.

"Well, long time no see, Krisa."

Xu Xi said this with some hesitation.

In his perception, he simply slept, and the so-called "yesterday" was extremely clear, but in fact half a year had passed.

This weird time confusion made Xu Xi feel a little suffocated.

Until I drank a glass of ice water.

My body feels much better now.

"I'm getting weaker and weaker," Xu Xi lowered his eyes and looked at his hands, repeatedly looking at the wrinkles on them and the dull and yellowed skin.

To be honest.

If it weren't for the fact that during the waking hours, you can use mortal wisdom to continue learning some new knowledge.

Also, he was always worried about Krisa and wanted to teach her more and watch her grow up to be strong enough.

This torturous sleeping scene is repeated over and over again.

In fact, the simulation should have ended long ago.

Shaking his head slightly to clear his mind of the messy thoughts, Xu Xi looked at Chrisa.

He wanted to ask about Krishna's recent situation in case something bad happened while he was away and he was unaware of it.

"Krisha, what do you do when I'm not around?"

"I'll accompany you."

"I mean, uh...what have you been doing lately?"

"I'm here with you."

The witch's answer made Xu Xi stunned for a moment.

Her voice was always so calm, without any lies, only the truth: "I have been accompanying you in the room since you fell asleep, and I only go out when necessary to take care of the garden for you."

"I was with you the day before yesterday, I was with you yesterday, and I will be with you today, until you wake up."

Use clumsy words to describe your behavior.

No fancy words.

Simple, yet extremely heavy.

During countless lonely days and nights, the immortal witch sat quietly in the room, expressionless, staring at that familiar and old face, waiting for the long-awaited reunion and warmth.
