I already said this is not a life simulator!

She grasped the two ends of the conch-like short staff with both hands and gently placed it under her body, swaying slightly like a swing. Little fish in blue and bright red swam happily beside her.

Her red pupils would occasionally fall on Qianjie who was still fighting, but more often, she was looking at the sky covered by rain clouds, as if in a daze, humming a soft melody. That was the song that "Blood Relative" taught her for the first time, and it was also the first song she learned.

“Ah, “blood relatives”…”

Sensing Xiwang's arrival, Skadi stopped humming, leaned forward slightly, held the short staff, and quickly swam in the air to Xiwang's side. She squeezed into Xiwang's arms intimately and gently rubbed Xiwang's chin with her head and soft white hair.

Although Xiwang's efforts have increased her number of "compatriots", but as expected... in comparison, she still prefers "blood relatives" more.

Rather, as her [compatriots] increased in number, she became closer to her "blood relatives". Even a short separation would make her feel "lonely"... Even though her [compatriots] were right beside her, she still felt like she was alone. How strange.

"Thank you for your hard work, Skadi."

Xi Wang rubbed her head, the softness of her white hair passing through his palms, and he stroked down along the hair, feeling the water-like feeling coming from his fingertips. Until the ends of her hair fell from between his fingers, he vaguely felt that he had touched her hair all over.

"It's not hard, just look at him, it's not hard..."

Skadi shook her head and spoke softly, then raised her head and held her hair with both hands, gathering all her scattered white hair in front of her and gathering it in her arms. She held her soft hair like offering a treasure, blinked her eyes, and asked her dearest "blood relative".

“Do you like my hair, my blood relatives? You can touch it more, and I will be happy too.”

"of course."

Xiwang's response followed immediately, and according to Skadi's thoughts, he touched the hair in her arms again.

“I love everything about Bloodline.”

As a "return gift", Xiwang slightly took her hand so that she could touch her hair and head in the same way.

Of course, in comparison, Skadi likes to touch Xiwang's face more, and occasionally tries to reach out and pinch Xiwang's tongue... I don't know where she learned it from.

However, naturally, some people will not be able to stand seeing these two people "showing off" like this.

call out--

A slightly harsh sound of breaking through the air came from below, as if someone had directly thrown a piece of building debris up.

This kind of "attack" naturally could not escape the perception of the two people, and an attack of this degree would not cause any harm to the two people... and the other party naturally knew this.

In other words, this is really just a "reminder".

Although Xiwang didn't care, Skadi... was somewhat unhappy.

Slightly turning sideways, the eyes that originally seemed gentle, docile, and even a little cute in front of Xiwang suddenly became sharp and dangerous. The shallow layer of water on the ground trembled slightly, and then surged rapidly, and a huge "tail fin" suddenly appeared.

With a light tap, the flying building debris was knocked aside, making the already small debris become like small gravel on the street.

"You are not allowed to harm your blood relatives."

Skadi spoke word by word, with a hint of annoyance in her tone. It was unclear whether it was because she really hated people attacking Xiwang, or because her intimacy with Xiwang had just been interrupted...

Well...it should be both, but the latter should account for a larger proportion.

"Hahahahahaha!!! If he can be injured to this extent, then that means he's just that bad!"

Qianjie didn't care about Skadi's threat. Seeing that the "sea heirs" around him no longer came, he even had the interest to provoke Skadi again.

Then, Qianjie turned his gaze to Xiwang again. Even though his face was hidden under the mask, one could feel his excitement and... fanaticism through his eyes.

"Come on! Continue! The fight between us is not over yet! I am fed up with this bunch of rubbish who are nothing but skins and have nothing to commend them except their numbers!"

"You! Only you! Fighting with you! Killing you! Only this! Can make me feel happy!"

"Come on! Go on! Fight me! This is what you promised!"

"Or do you want to continue to waste my time with these boring things? Or do you want to increase my anger in this way?"

"Hahahaha!!! Ridiculous! My rage is endless! Even you! You! Can't extinguish it!"

"I will burn the sky! I will set the sea on fire! I will evaporate everything you rely on! I will burn it all!"

"…Your vocabulary is becoming more and more extensive, Qianjie."

However, facing Qianjie's declaration of war, Xiwang just gently hugged Skadi's waist to prevent her from slapping Qianjie back to the ground with a wave of her hand... At the same time, Xiwang's focus was also very strange.

"It seems that you have accepted it much faster than others... No, it should be that you have adapted faster?"

"Ah↗?! What (obscene words) are you talking about? If you mean the mess you put in my head, I can only tell you... it's useless!"

Qianjie growled.

"I don't need such messy stuff, and I don't care about it!"

"I just need to fight! I just need enemies! And then tear them all to pieces!!!"

"Yes! That's right! I'm talking about you! You guys!!!"

"Ah...it seems like you haven't fully accepted it yet?"

Xiwang tilted his head again, as if thinking about something.

"Well, that's only natural. After all, you are a [non-human]... so it will be more difficult to make you a [compatriot]."

"But it doesn't matter..."

Xi Wang gently hugged Skadi's body from behind, tapped his toes, and took a few steps back, avoiding the provocative attack thrown by Qianjie.

Clearly, you are stepping in the air, but it feels like you are stepping on the water. Strange ripples appear in the air, but your body seems to be moving in the sea water, with a wonderful sense of floating and a slight sense of resistance.

"You will soon be like us, one of our [fellow countrymen]."

"What the hell (obscene word) are you talking about?!"

"Hmm... Looks like we need to be careful. We can't let you lead everyone astray~"

"I've already said it! Come! Fight me! Fight me! Since you've taken off that hypocritical skin, it proves that you've started it, right?! You agree, right?! Come! Continue! I'll crush your wet and disgusting body into pieces!"

"I'd like to, but unfortunately... you've already lost, haven't you, Qianjie?"

Xiwang picked up Skadi slightly, put his chin on her shoulder, and rubbed her cheek gently, asking her to give up her plan to attack Qianjie. He showed a happy and comfortable smile, and softly reminded Qianjie.

“Hah↗?!”

"Your current posture is proof of that, isn't it?"

Xiwang raised his hand and gestured, asking Qianjie to touch behind his ear, or the side of his neck.

There, on both sides, there is a pair of somewhat strange "gills".

"........."

Qianjie suddenly fell silent.

"And, do you still think that the mask you are wearing is still the same one as before?"

Xi Wang raised his hand again, tapped his own brow, and reminded softly with a smile.

"……What do you mean?"

"It means exactly what it says. Your mask has been changed. Now it is alive and is your [compatriot]."

"what?!"

"You have to treat it well, okay? It knew that you don't like to be in the spotlight, so it took the initiative to change into the mask style you like, and it has been hanging on your face. And because it knew you might not like it, it didn't tell you. Um... maybe it was worried that you would think too much, so it didn't say anything in front of you, okay?"

[Compatriots, I don’t like to be exposed]

As if to echo Xiwang's words, Qianjie heard a voice that was obviously very childish, like that of a newborn baby, with a hint of timidity.

[Don't be afraid, compatriots, protect it! Don't show it! ]

"........."

This time, there is really no way to deal with Qianjie.

"By the way, Qianjie, you're quite handsome."

"Are you looking for death?!"

Qianjie understood immediately after hearing Xiwang's comment. Xiwang saw his appearance under the mask, and naturally had an outlet to vent the frustration that had been accumulating in his heart.

Of course, the more important thing is that his brain just crashed for a while, and now he has an excuse that allows Qianjie to stop thinking about those annoying things.

He wanted to fight, and he just had to fight, that was all... As for the rest, he didn't care.

As long as it can help him fight, he can accept it... probably.

So, driven almost instinctively, or perhaps with the help of his compatriots, Qianjie learned to roughly control the water almost instantly, stepping on the rushing water from the ground and rushing straight towards Xiwang.

then……

"Don't hurt your blood relatives!"

Skadi raised his hand and slapped him back to the ground with a "tail fin".

And this time, Xi Wang naturally did not stop him.

"It seems that your talent in combat is truly terrifying... Should I say that you are truly worthy of this, Qianjie?"

There was a hint of lightness in Xiwang's voice.

"But watching you controlling the water is still a little weird... Well, after all, fire suits you better."

"Ha, what? Do you want to make the thing you hate the most your strength? You're a wet, disgusting guy."

"Don't say that. After all, you are now just like me and us."

"You put (obscene word)!"

Qianjie's voice was deafening.

"Even if you reject, hate, and refuse, the final result will not change, Qianjie."

Xiwang didn't care about it at all.

"after all……"

Xiwang's mouth corners slightly raised.

"From the moment the song started, the ending was already set... No matter how many twists and turns there were along the way, it would not change that."

"Don't worry, please don't worry..."

Xiwang's voice is so gentle, like water and like wind.

"I, we, are not some [disaster], and no one has ever died."

“No life will be lost, and no one will have to worry about survival.”

His voice is like the rain at this moment, hazy and soft.

“People will step up the ladder of evolution, just like us.”

"The sea is our home, the land is our habitat, and the sky is just a place for us to roam and play..."

"In the end, even those places where there is nothing will become our [ocean]."

“We will have an unlimited future, with no boundaries and no limits.”

"Just evolve, and keep evolving..."

"And you, all of you, Qianjie, are about to become our [compatriots]..."

His voice was still so gentle.

"Don't worry, you will soon understand that we are right, and you will also understand what we are doing..."

"It doesn't matter if you refuse or resist... After all, I, like my mother, am always tolerant."

"You (obscene words)... stop saying these weird things in my head!!!"

Qianjie covered his head with one hand and growled, while using the other hand, he exerted force with his fingertips, forming a claw and swung it violently in the direction of Xiwang, creating five sharp water blades out of thin air and attacking Xiwang and Skadi.

But with Xiwang snapping his fingers, the water blades suddenly shattered and turned into tiny water droplets, which returned to the puddles on the ground along with the drizzle.

"I have to sigh once again at your talent in combat, Qianjie... Well, if I think about it this way, it would be better for you to fight more. Perhaps it will speed up your understanding of us..."

"That's right, if that's your wish, then..."

Xiwang hugged Skadi in his arms again, rubbed her cheek gently, and spoke softly.

"I'm counting on you, Blood."

"I still have to pay attention to the conditions of the other people later. The doctor is about to wake up, so I need to go see her. I'll leave this to you first~"

"Yeah, I understand."

Skadi nodded and responded softly.
