I already said this is not a life simulator!

"Shut up and get out!"

"All right……"

Under the helpless and amused gaze of the crowd, Eden and Xiwang left together, leaving only Qianjie and the other two.

"……snort."

After making sure Xiwang had left, Qianjie snorted coldly, lit the stove, put oil in a cold pot, and skillfully spread the oil to the bottom of the pot. After confirming the temperature, he put the ingredients in.

Nourishes—

The smoke spread along with the fragrance and slight sound.

"Haha... Qianjie is really gentle~?"

Alicia stood aside, looked at Abonya who was helping to wash the vegetables, then looked at Qianjie who was busy in front of the stove, and said with some amusement.

"To prevent the fumes from getting on Xiwang or something... That's great~?"

"Shut up, you useless bastard...if you keep talking I'll throw you out!"

"Hey~?"

…………

"Hey, Eden, and... uh... Xi... Xiwang?"

Hen, who was with his wife and daughter, raised his hand and greeted Eden when he saw someone familiar. Then he looked at the... er... lady beside Eden with a puzzled expression.

"........."

Ying, who was talking to them, was also stunned when she saw Xiwang's appearance. She looked at the slender green animal ears that were still on his head, which were similar to hers, and then looked at his current appearance... Finally, her eyes stopped on Eden beside him.

"........."

Eden blinked at Ying, and then subtly gestured to her hand, which was still held by Xiwang. The meaning was self-evident.

"what……"

Ying smiled helplessly, and the animal ears on her head swayed slightly twice... But she didn't say much, after all...

"........."

Ying looked at the pair of blue animal ears on Xiwang's head that were similar to her own, and slowly withdrew her gaze with a smile.

He's there, isn't he?

Chapter 5845 I wish time would stop here ()

"Xiwang...brother? Sister?"

Compared to the others, Grayshu took light steps, quietly broke away from Blanca's hands, and took the initiative to run to Xiwang. She looked at his clothes, tilted her head, showed a somewhat puzzled look, and then opened her arms to him.

"hug……"

Grace wouldn't care so much, as long as the person in front of her was still the Xi Wang she was familiar with.

"Okay~"

Xiwang took the petite Grayxiu into his arms, and Eden also let go of his hand, allowing Xiwang to pick up Grayxiu.

However, Xi Wang's response scared Hen and Blanca again... But they quickly remembered something and smiled helplessly.

"Ah... I almost forgot. You were famous for your varied voices, including female voices... Oh, it hasn't been that long."

Hen said this somewhat embarrassedly.

"Um...Xiwang, can I ask you something? The pair of ears on your head..."

Blanca pointed at the pair of slender animal ears on Xiwang's head that were similar to Ying's and asked curiously.

"This? I think it's something I researched myself, a different way to use my abilities... It's a byproduct though, and it's essentially colored wind, so it can't be touched, you know?"

"is that so?"

Blanca seemed a little confused... Although she was no longer a researcher, she still subconsciously felt that there should be more things to explore here... Especially when she saw her daughter Grey Xiuzhen playing with Xiwang's ears.

It was really amazing. When Grace stretched out her curious hands to touch the ears, they seemed to be aware of something. They shook slightly and fell into Grace's palms. But when Grace tried to grab them, they cunningly slipped away from her hands.

Finally, Grace even found a unique way to play... She stretched out her hand and pressed it on Xiwang's head, moving along Xiwang's hair little by little to the position of the pair of animal ears, and the pair of animal ears also responded, and were pressed on Xiwang's head little by little by Grace.

When Grace's hand brushed over her ears, they would suddenly "bounce" up and stand up again. She could even hear a slight "pop" sound, which looked quite interesting.

And... there was joy in Grayshu's eyes, and it could be felt that she was really having a lot of fun.

"That... um... is Mr. Xiwang... right?"

A calm but slightly nervous voice came from the side, and with it, a slightly cold feeling emerged.

Turning my head, I could see a gray-haired man and Kevin standing next to him.

But Kevin seemed very confused at the moment, with bewilderment and doubt in his pupils. Even the gray-haired man who had just spoken had obvious hesitation in his tone.

"It's me~ ah... I remember you~ you and Kevin were sitting next to me at that concert~"

"Is it really you? Xiwang...but you look like this..."

Kevin seemed a little dazed... Not to mention Xi Wang's voice at the moment, as his fan, Kevin had long been accustomed to Xi Wang's changeable voice and was not confused by it, but this look... really made him feel strange!

"Eden helped me choose it. Isn't it beautiful?"

Xi Wang put Grayxiu down, then gently lifted the hem of her skirt and said this in a very proud tone.

"Hmm...yeah, very beautiful."

Kevin could only nod dryly, quickly collected his thoughts, and introduced the person next to him to Xiwang.

"Since you still remember him, Xiwang, let me briefly introduce him. He is my friend - Su, and he is also a new fusion warrior... I am very grateful to your [Song] and [Power] for making his surgery go smoothly."

"It's you~ Nice to meet you~"

"No, I should be the one saying this... And I must thank you, Mr. Xiwang."

Su quickly adjusted his mindset. As a fan, he would not have any doubts about Xi Wang's voice. As for Xi Wang's current outfit... As a doctor, he had seen everything? That's it?

So Su held Xiwang's hand very solemnly, shook it up and down twice, and spoke in his most sincere words.

"Not only my surgery, but also... your [song] saved countless patients, and even saved my teacher. I am very grateful to you, really."

Then his tone became low again.

"And... I'm sorry, at that time... we were not able to develop a medicine to cure the Honkai Disease in time. Otherwise, you wouldn't have to fight for that slim chance of success... I'm sorry..."

"Hush - don't say that. Today is supposed to be your welcome party. Don't say such discouraging words. Besides..."

Xi Wang's tone was light, and since he was speaking in a female voice, his voice seemed even gentler.

"I'm here now, right? I survived and can even help more people. That's good, isn't it?"

"...Well, thank you very much for your understanding."

Su was silent for a while before he nodded, and let go of Xi Wang's hand at the right time, while saying with a smile.

"However, you are wrong about one thing... This welcome party is not just for me. There is also a companion... You should be familiar with him."

"Well?"

Xi Wang tilted his head and followed Kevin and Su's instructions to head towards the corner.

There, a strange brown cat's tail was swaying gently in the air, and then, as if it had noticed everyone's gaze, it suddenly paused, and then a "kitten" with brown hair and heterochromatic eyes poked its head out, and you could see the pair of gently trembling cat ears on her head.

“I’m sorry… … ”

It was Padre Felice. She noticed everyone's gazes and waved shyly, as if she wanted to get closer but didn't dare.

"I don't know what's wrong with Padu. She's unwilling to come over..."

"Well... I know why. I should thank her for her understanding~"

"What's wrong?"

"Sakura is allergic to cat hair, so... I'm worried that getting too close might make Sakura uncomfortable."

Xi Wang smiled, tilted his head slightly, thought for a moment, and then...sang a few syllables softly.

???——

A gentle breeze was blown up, and golden notes jumped out along with his singing, staying beside Sakura.

Then, Xi Wang waved to Paduafilis.

At first, Padua was reluctant. Although she could see what Xiwang had done, she still didn't want to go over... But after confirming it several times and being encouraged by other people's eyes, she slowly approached... Of course, the more likely possibility was that Qianjie had already come out of the kitchen, and she wanted to find a place where she could feel safe.

"That...that...Sister Ying, are you really okay?"

"Well, I'm fine."

"Huh... That's good, that's good... But is this your power, Brother Wang? Is it so omnipotent?"

Padufils patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief... Although she really wanted to get close to Sakura, and she had a good relationship with Sakura in the past, when she found out that the side effects of her surgery were somewhat similar to Sakura's, she was quite happy and wanted to form a [Beast Ear Alliance] with Sakura. However, she found out that Sakura was allergic to her, so she was embarrassed to get close to Sakura again.

"I didn't expect Xiwang's power could be used in this way..."

Sakura poked the golden musical notes surrounding her with some curiosity... She could feel a gentle force enveloping her, like a warm breeze, isolating her from something, so that even if Padufils stood so close to her, it would not have any impact on her.

"Impressive, isn't it? But Ying still can't touch you directly, Paduo, otherwise something bad will happen."

"Pfft... Brother Wang, your voice..."

"what happened?"

"...No, no, no, it's okay, it's okay, I'm just a little surprised."

Padua Felice quickly covered her mouth and hid her shocked expression.

"But I didn't expect you, Padu, to participate in the operation..."

"...I just wanted to try a little harder, and my adaptability is okay. With your song as a support, I think I should be able to survive."

Padufils scratched her head a little embarrassedly.

"After all, I'm pretty lucky, and after the operation is successful, I can also... save a few more people..."

"........."

I almost forgot that Padua Felice has been serving as the search pioneer in the rescue team. She has seen no shortage of tragic scenes, and for her to decide to undergo surgery... I guess she must have thought about it for a long time.

"Oh~ We agreed that today is a welcome party for everyone, so why don't we keep the atmosphere so serious and sad~?"

Alicia's cheerful voice joined in at the right time, and she reached out from behind and gently kneaded Padufils's cute cat ears, and at the same time she slightly tiptoed and pressed her body on Padufils. (Yes, Padufils is 164cm, Alicia is 163cm, Padufils is 1cm taller than Alicia, and because of the cat ears, Padufils will appear taller)

"Everyone, let's have some delicious food and have some fun~ Qianjie has been preparing for a long time~?"

"Shut up, Alicia."

Qianjie's impatient voice came from behind. Turning around, she could see him tidying up his clothes... He seemed to have cleaned himself and changed his clothes on purpose to avoid bringing the smell of kitchen fumes to the party.

Meanwhile, Aponiya was placing snacks and other things on the table one by one... Noticing everyone's eyes on her, she turned around and smiled back.

"Oh, by the way, there's a little surprise~?"

Alicia said this and winked at Eden and Xiwang.

then……

"Hey, [Record Player], why are you dressed like this today?"

"Brother Li!"

"Wow...you even changed your voice, are you serious?"

"The sound is very nice. And... it's been a long time since I last saw [record player]."

Li and Yin each smiled and nodded towards Xi Wang.

"Why are you all here?"

"I got a promotion, what else can I do?"

Li shrugged and said nonchalantly.
