Thanks for the invitation, I am in the state of collapse, brushing attribute upgrade

Hearing this, Xier, who had just had a lot of fun playing in the air with an excited blush on her face, nodded and jumped down.

"ah!"

However, perhaps because it was too dark and Xier couldn't see clearly, or because she was too engrossed in the play, her legs and feet suddenly lost strength. When Xier jumped down, her body tilted and she was about to fall, and she subconsciously let out a scream.

"careful!"

Behind Seele, Gwyn, who had removed his armor after Seele jumped, subconsciously reached out and pulled the girl's slightly cold petite body into his arms.

There was no melodramatic plot of hands being put in the wrong place. Gwyn's arm easily wrapped around Seele's slender waist, helping the girl who was about to fall to stand firmly.

"Are you okay, Xi'er?"

Noticing Xier's tense muscles under his palm, Gwen chuckled, carefully helped Xier stand up, and asked with concern.

"Well, thank you Brother Gwen, Xier is fine."

Xier, with a flushed face, shook her head timidly and raised her hands to indicate that she was fine.

"It's okay."

Gwen nodded, but did not let go immediately—

He hadn't noticed it just now through the armor, but now that he was doing it himself, Gwyn realized that Seele's body temperature was a little low. He thought it was because he was too engrossed in the game before and didn't pay attention, which led to the weakness of his legs.

With this speculation in his mind, Gwen silently circulated the fire energy in his body to warm Xier's slightly cold body.

"Well……"

Xier, who was still feeling a little shy because of the warmth from Gwen's big hand pressing on her waist, suddenly felt a warm current flowing out from Gwen's palm, quickly flowing through her body, and driving away the coldness she had just felt.

As the warmth, which was like warming up by a fireplace in an orphanage, or even better than that, spread throughout every corner of her body, Xier felt a sense of comfort welling up from deep within her body, and she even couldn't help but let out a low moan -

"Well……"

The next moment, Xier raised her hands and covered her mouth tightly. Her face, which was originally just a little flushed, turned red. Her eyes were fixed on the ground, and she didn't dare to look at Gwen at all. Her heart was in a mess.

"Ugh...

How rude...

Will Brother Gwen think I’m a weird bad kid?..."

However, unlike the wild thoughts in Seele's mind, Gwen only found Seele cute when she lowered her head and acted like an ostrich.

Gently stroking Xier's messy, damp hair, using the warmth of his hands to dissipate the moisture, Gwen chuckled and said softly:

"Sorry, Xier. I was just thinking about letting you play for a while, and I didn't realize that the temperature at high altitude is not very friendly to you..."

"It's okay, Brother Gwen..."

Hearing Gwen's words, Xier immediately threw away her shyness, looked up at Gwen's eyes, and said seriously,

"If it weren't for Brother Gwen, Xier would probably never have this opportunity, or even the chance to return to the real world.

In short, Xier had a lot of fun and was very grateful to Brother Gwen."

"Well, Xier is so good..."

Hearing this, Gwen smiled and nodded, gently stroking Xier's hair which had become soft and dry again, but there was a hint of regret in his words.

"It's just... Xier, I'm afraid this isn't our world...

At least, it’s not my world…”

"..."

In that instant, Seele, who had no idea what a bubble world was and only thought she had stumbled back to her original world and would soon see her beloved sister Bronya, widened her eyes, her delicate face filled with surprise and uncertainty. She hesitated and asked,

"Brother Gwen, you...?"

However, those words were full of hesitation, but they were unable to ask the following questions.

"Ugh……"

With a long sigh, Gwen rubbed Xier's soft hair and explained,

"Xier, there are some things you may not know——

In the quantum ocean, the world is not unique.

In other words, in the boundless quantum ocean, there are countless worlds.

Among them, the vast majority are microscopic worlds that will be destroyed in the near future, just like countless leaves falling into the water. We can call them world bubbles.

If nothing unexpected happens, we are now in a world bubble."

"Um……"

Although what Gwen said was a little difficult to understand for Seele, who had been living in the Cocolia Orphanage and had not received a good basic education, the naturally intelligent Seele still managed to understand the general meaning of Gwen's words and nodded slightly.

However, what Xier is most concerned about now is not these questions that would normally surprise her for a long time -

"But, Brother Gwen, you just said..."

Eyes as blue as the sea trembled slightly, as if afraid of something.

Gwen naturally understood what Xier was confused about, and continued to explain slowly -

"As for our world...

Analogous to the world bubble, you can think of it as a leaf growing on a towering tree.

With the nourishment of big trees, they will not decay easily like those fallen leaves.

However, although our worlds have many similarities, we cannot be sure that the world we live in is the same leaf on that tree, rather than two similar but different leaves..."

Although it was a bit cruel to talk about such a heavy topic to Xier after just taking her for a walk, it was better to suffer a short pain than a long one, so Gwen still chose to say it at this time -

It would be even more cruel if Seele excitedly went to Bronya, only to find that she was not what she remembered at all.

"..."

Listening to Gwen's explanation, Xier opened her mouth to say something, but she felt as if she were drowning. Even breathing became extremely difficult. Her body, which had just been warmed by Gwen, became icy cold, as if it had been soaked in icy water for an unknown amount of time. It seemed that this was not a world with a slightly warm breeze, but an icy quantum sea...

"Damn it!"

Realizing Xier's condition, the black Xier in her body cursed loudly, but didn't know what to do——

She didn't know if Xier would wake up again if she took away control of her body and tried to calm her down...

Chapter 165 The male protagonist of the urban novel is actually me?

Fortunately, the instigator of all this is still here——

Sensing Xi'er's violent mental fluctuations, Gwen's heart trembled, thinking that he had gone too far. Soft mental power surged out, soothing Xi'er's spirit with a rather rough method, and he did not forget to call out -

“Xi’er!

Xier!"

The low roar with a shocking effect on the mind instantly pulled Xier back from the sudden despair, and she stared at Gwyn blankly.

"Ugh……"

With a sigh in his heart, Gwen squatted down, put his forehead against Xier's forehead, and said softly,

"However, even if we originally belonged to two different leaves, I will definitely help you return to the leaf that originally belonged to you.

Trust me, okay? "

"..."

Listening to Gwen's solemn voice, Xier pursed her lips, and suddenly felt the warmth flowing through her body and the heat coming from her forehead.

"Well, Xier believes in Brother Gwen..."

Standing on tiptoe, raising her thin arms, she gently put them around Gwen's neck, rubbing her forehead against Gwen, and Xier whispered.

As she spoke, Xier seemed to be worried that Gwen was worried about her, and continued to add:

"It's like trusting Sister Bronya."

The connection between hearts appears quietly and unexpectedly...

"Um……"

Feeling Xi'er's spirit quickly stabilize, Gwen responded softly, then raised his head and looked at the girl in front of him with a smile.

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now, these things are too far away from us now.

Instead, why not find a good restaurant to fill your stomach first? "

"it is good……"

Xier let go of her hands that were around Gwen's neck, but now she lost her courage. As if she just realized what she had done, she responded somewhat at a loss.

"Let's go. I always ordered the dishes before, but this time it's your turn, Xi'er..."

Standing up, Gwyn took Xier's hand and prepared to lead the girl out of the dark alley.

"By the way, Brother Gwen, since this is not your...our original world, do you have the money here?"

The brain became a little dull after a series of events and information shocks, but because of her past difficult experiences, Xier unexpectedly discovered a bright spot.

“It seems to be a problem indeed…”

Hearing this, Gwen's steps could not help but pause, his face hesitant, but then he smiled and said when Xier was about to persuade Gwen to give up,

“Thanks to Xier, we don’t have to be accused of free dining.

In that case, let’s go change a little first…”

Although Otto's contributions to Gwyn have far outweighed his demands and exploitations, Gwyn, knowing full well that this old immortal was no good, began to prepare for the inevitable fallout in the future.

This is not difficult for Gwyn, who has a points mall.

Precious metals such as gold and jewelry, which are relatively easy to exchange for currency, are naturally also within Gwyn's reserves.

After taking out a small amount of gold and selling it in exchange for enough currency for the two of them to live on for a while, Gwyn did not rush to deal with the identity issue, but took Seele directly to have a big meal.

"How is it, Xier, are you satisfied with today's dinner?"

Walking together on the street, Gwen, holding a bottle of orange juice in his hand, asked Xier beside him with a smile.

"Mmm, today's dinner is delicious. Xier likes it very much!"

Xier answered Gwen with a sweet smile, and then she drank the yogurt in her hand.

Although Xier didn't control her body to eat the two spicy dishes ordered by Gwen, the lingering spicy feeling in her mouth still made Xier feel a little uncomfortable.

And in Xier's body, the black Xier who ate spicy food in Xier's place because Xier didn't want to eat spicy food still looked unhappy.

Gwyn's words just now made Xier, who was rarely so happy, feel like she was falling into an ice cave, and even made Hei Xier have a bad premonition, which made the Stigma Consciousness, whose first goal was to protect Xier, quite dissatisfied with Gwyn.

As for the spicy dish Xier didn't like, it was nothing compared to that...

If we look at the fact that Hei Xier's mood has improved a lot after the meal, then it might even be considered a plus?

"Then the next step is to find a hotel that doesn't require identification."

After chatting with Xier for a while while walking, Gwen began to plan the next move, and touched Xier's little head while talking.

"Xi'er, I can't stay here forever. Living here alone from now on, there are many things you need to learn and pay attention to..."

"Well, Xier will try her best to take care of herself and not cause trouble for Brother Gwen..."

After hearing Gwen's words, Xier did not feel disappointed at all. She nodded vigorously. It was rare for the weak girl to show confidence and courage.

"Of course I believe in our lovely little Xier..."

Gwen chuckled and took Xier towards the anonymous inn they had inquired about before.

However, before turning, Gwen glanced behind him intentionally or unintentionally——

After going to the gold shop to exchange money, Gwen noticed that someone seemed to be watching him.
