As soon as the floating city flew up, Gu Qing Shan also sighed in relief.
At some unknown point, Little Xi was already standing next to him, silently looking down at the scene below.
"So it's finally coming out" Little Xi sighed emotionally.
"So that's the monster?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"That's it, these hands are only its skin, it's still in a half-asleep, half-awake state" Little Xi replied.
Gu Qing Shan looked at her: "So you once fought against such an entity, how unimaginable"
Little Xi pondered: "I had thought that the Desolate World Eater Demon Bug would be able to appease it, but it also failed, I wonder if the Divinities have any other methods"
"Regardless of what the Divinities think, do we have any way to escape from here?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"No, I'm too weak right now" Little Xi sighed.
The two of them paused and looked towards the black market at the same time.
Only to see that, aside from the control panel of the floating city, the entire black market had fallen into chaos.
Fighting, killing, looting, destroying …
People were rushing into the various shops like madmen, stealing anything they saw that was useful to them, if anyone tried to stop them, they would immediately engage in battle.
Some people even began to take revenge for their grievances.
Battles were raging everywhere.
Fortunately, Gu Qing Shan chose the most remote location at the very edge of the flight center, there wasn't anything worth searching for, so no one came here yet.
Hearing the sounds of battle from afar, Little Xi asked in confusion: "It's already a hopeless situation of certain death, why are they still doing this?"
Gu Qing Shan glanced at her and asked in return: "Before you were sealed away, you didn't have much contact with living beings?"
"That's right, besides fighting against monsters, all I did every day was sleep …" Little Xi stared at the endless slaughter and fighting in the black market and asked further: "Why are they all acting like they've gone mad?"
Gu Qing Shan replied: "This is the nature of living beings"
"The nature of living beings …" Little Xi couldn't understand: "In a hopeless situation, living beings' nature would change so much?"
"It's not a huge change in temperament. This is their true temperament. Only when the champions are satisfied will these things temporarily calm down."
After saying that, Gu Qing Shan took out something from behind her.
A pot.
Various spices and ingredients were also placed on the table.
He formed a hand seal and directed water to wash the pot. Then, he began to process the ingredients.
Xiaoxi asked in surprise, "What are you doing now?"
"Hah — — this is also the nature of living beings" Gu Qing Shan commented.
Ever since he arrived at the Strife Zones, he hadn't had a single hot bite of food, not to mention the disgusting food he just ate, so he couldn't help but want something to eat.
His movements were extremely fast, and in a short while, he had prepared a few dishes and a pot of soup.
"If the enemy can't be defeated by force, I'll have to eat something first — — only after I'm full will I have the energy to think about the problem" Gu Qing Shan said.
Looking at the dishes, Xiaoxi's nose twitched and a look of envy appeared on her face.
"Can you eat so much by yourself?" she asked.
"Of course not, come, let's eat together"
Gu Qing Shan gestured for her to sit down.
At this point, Xiaoxi felt a bit uneasy.
"What's the matter?" Gu Qing Shan noticed her uneasiness and squinted her eyes to ask.
Xiaoxi hesitantly replied: "I — — I might not be suitable for this"
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised: "It's just a meal, what's there to be suitable for?"
Xiaoxi's gaze fell onto the steaming hot food and softly said: "The Gods told me that in my life, there are only two things, fighting and sleeping"
"Fighting can purge evil, sleeping can restore stamina"
"Other than that, I can't do anything else, because doing so will only cause me to slowly fall into depravity"
Gu Qing Shan stayed silent for a bit, then asked: "So, you've never eaten before?"
"That's right"
"Other than fighting and sleeping, you've never done anything else?"
"… That's not it. As I began to observe the world, I could feel myself changing"
"What kind of change?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Xiaoxi replied: "I began to feel that there are some things that I can get closer to"
"For example?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Xiaoxi took out a Card and gave it to Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan looked at it.
The Card depicted a bouquet of pink flowers.
He lightly shook the Card.
A bouquet of fragrant pink flowers appeared in his hand.
"How beautiful" Gu Qing Shan exclaimed.
He gave the flowers to Xiaoxi.
Holding the flowers, Xiaoxi lightly sniffed them a few times and couldn't help but smile.
"There was a time when I destroyed a world's evil, when I left, I accidentally discovered the existence of flowers. I don't know why, but I collected a bouquet of them"
"From then on, whenever I went to a new world, I would find a few flowers and collect them"
"The gods found out about my behavior. They thought it was strange, so they asked me why I was doing this."
"How did you answer?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Xiaoxi appeared nostalgic: "I said — — I like these flowers, and I like to travel between worlds"
"From that day on, the attitude of the gods towards me changed."
"Changed?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"They seemed to be avoiding me — — but there was a Goddess who also liked flowers, so why was she allowed to like them, but I couldn't?" Xiaoxi asked in confusion.
Looking into her pure eyes, Gu Qing Shan was speechless.
Xiaoxi continued: "After that, the Gods sent me to this world to fight against the monster underground. When I used everything I had to seal the monster away, the Gods appeared"
"They used a kind of seal on me and I fell into a deep slumber — — until recently"
Gu Qing Shan asked: "Let's go back to the previous question, the Gods didn't allow you to do anything other than fighting and sleeping, so do they usually have food and drink for themselves?"
"Ah, they do, the Gods love to hold banquets" Xiaoxi seemed to recall something and appeared a bit envious.
Gu Qing Shan silently smiled.
He personally scooped a bowl of soup and placed it in front of Xiaoxi.
"Give it a try" he said.
Xiaoxi was a bit nervous: "But I've never drunk anything before"
Gu Qing Shan smiled: "I promise you, the soup I make is worth a try"
Xiaoxi looked at him.
He nodded.
Xiaoxi took a deep breath and muttered: "I've always been curious about what it feels like to eat"
She picked up the bowl and carefully sipped on the edge of the bowl.
"How does it taste?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
He found himself a bit nervous.
This was the first time he felt this kind of emotion ever since he opened his stall.
Xiaoxi was stunned for a while.
She lowered her head and wiped the corner of her eyes with her hand.
"I … don't know how to describe this feeling"
