The false appearance faded layer by layer.

Like falling petals.

Like a broken mirror.

In the faint flickering haze, Krisa's face revealed her true posture.

That was the face of a 17-year-old girl, not worn out by time, not haggard by the past, and the delicate features still maintained the indifference that Xu Xi was familiar with.

"Very beautiful, isn't it?"

Xu Xi spoke gently, his eyes full of love.

He stood in front of the immortal witch, one was old, and the other was still young, forming a strong contrast with them.

Invisibly.

The boundary called life and death quietly emerged.

Separated the two people into a tiny gap.

"...", the atmosphere at the scene was a little silent, mixed with a vague sadness, Xu Xi could only stroke Krisa's head, in this way, to comfort the witch's shaking body.

Outside the house, there was a rustling sound, that was the movement of falling leaves in autumn.

Autumn is here.

This means that the bitter winter is not far away.

[In the fiftieth year of the simulation, you are 64 years old and Krisa is 56 years old]

[You start to try to maintain your health and cast a life magic on yourself every day to restore your vitality, but unfortunately, your body cannot retain its vigorous vitality and is still aging and declining]

[In the outside world, the Church of God is still frantically searching for your traces. You hide well and have not been discovered]

[In the fiftieth year of the simulation, you are 65 years old and Krisa is 57 years old]

[You have some leisure hobbies of the elderly, such as sitting at the door to bask in the sun, staring at the outside world all day, or planting some beautiful flowers and plants]

[Krisa is still serving you every day as before, and brewing a cup of bitter Qingshencao magic drink when you need it]

[In the fiftieth year of the simulation, you are 66 years old and Krisa is 58 years old]

[Your body is still healthy. Although your body functions are not as good as when you were young, you have not developed any diseases]

[You are very Happy, guessing that maybe I can live longer]

[Simulation of the fifty-third year, you are 67 years old, Krisa is 59 years old]

[The witch's cooking skills have improved. In order to improve the food, she often goes to the market alone to buy ingredients. Now she will never mistake poisonous ingredients again]

[Simulation of the fifty-fourth year, you are 68 years old, Krisa is 60 years old]

[You, who cannot make progress in magic, are immersed in the process of planting flowers and plants. You planted a piece of dragon blood grass in the flowerbed. The dragon blood material is sponsored by an unknown red dragon]

[The witch stands beside you, carefully wiping the blood on "Gray Rekindling" with skillful movements]

[Simulation of the fifty-fifth year...]

[Simulation of the fifty-sixth year...]

[Simulation of the fifty-seventh year...]

The years are turning, like a movie with the fast-forward button pressed, leaping through the mind at a crazy speed. When you come to your senses, there are only many vague memories left.

Xu Xi's body is aging year by year.

Just like the sunset.

Although there is still brilliance and warmth, behind the setting sun, one can see endless gray silence.

In the 61st year of the simulation, Xu Xi is 75 years old. At this time, Xu Xi already has a head full of white hair.

He sat at the gate of the courtyard, half lying in a resting posture.

The gray hair was slightly shiny in the sun, and on the wrinkled face were a pair of deep and steady eyes, all the mental power was contained in them, hidden.

"It's so depressing..."

Xu Xi said.

Long before, he knew that the aging body would be much more inconvenient than when he was young.

But when this day really came, Xu Xi found that the feeling of aging was far more terrible than he thought.

Many things that were once easy to do.

Just a few years later.

They can no longer be done.

"Only my mental power is strong enough, I can use mental power and magic to find another way to assist in all aspects of life."

"Otherwise, this retirement life is really unbearable."

The wind element surged, pushing Xu Xi to stand up.

The earth element sank, and all the dust on the robe flew away.

Then.

Xu Xi's body was suspended in the air, his robe fluttered, and in the gentle wrapping of the wind element, he slowly flew into the house in the courtyard.

"Teacher, welcome back", Krisa, with gray and silver hair, had been waiting here for a long time. She opened the door for Xu Xi and entered the house together.

On the dining table, there was lunch prepared by the witch in advance.

It was steaming hot and fragrant.

"Krisa, your cooking skills have improved better", Xu Xi smiled and gave such an evaluation after tasting it,

"Yes, thank you for your evaluation, I will continue to work hard."

The witch's voice was as calm as water.

But Xu Xi knew that this did not mean that the witch was perfunctory, but that the lack of emotion made her unable to reasonably express her joy, anger, sorrow and happiness.

After dinner.Krisa used wind magic and water magic to clean the dishes and do the post-meal cleaning.

Xu Xi walked slowly towards the living room, walked to a wooden recliner, faced the sunlight, looked at the flowers and plants, closed his eyes and lay down quietly.

He is really old.

Physical dullness creates mental fatigue.

Now he is getting sleepier day by day, especially in the afternoon, he often feels sleepy.

"Then, let's sleep a little longer today."

Lying on the slightly cool brown rocking chair, the fatigue from the body quickly overwhelmed his consciousness. Xu Xi felt that the surroundings were getting darker and quieter.

Whole body and mind.

Whole soul.

Whole self.

All fell down at a very fast speed.

"Teacher... Teacher...!"

In a trance, Xu Xi seemed to hear Krisa's voice, he thought it should be an illusion.

So tired.

I really want to sleep a little longer.

The consciousness drifted in the confusion, the soul was lost in the blankness, sleeping deeper, sleeping farther, and after a long time in the repeated changes, it returned to the body.

"I am..."

Xu Xi opened his eyes blankly.

He found that he, who should have been lying in the living room, was actually back in the bedroom bed.

Was it Krisa who did it?

Xu Xi guessed so, and subconsciously wanted to speak, but the burning and astringent feeling from his throat made him cough violently.

"Cough!... Cough cough! Cough cough cough!"

"Teacher, the water is here."

At the critical moment, it was Krisa who handed over the water cup.

Xu Xi drank it all in one gulp, the cool water moistened his lips, and then flowed into his throat happily, replenishing the dry body with water.

"Thank you, Krisa."

Xu Xi put down the empty water cup and subconsciously looked in the direction of the witch.

But it was just this glance.

Xu Xi was stunned.

The witch in front of me not only changed her clothes, but also looked extremely haggard, as if she had experienced something extremely sad.

"... You finally woke up, mentor."

[You lay down and took a nap as usual]

[This sleep was extremely peaceful and made you feel comfortable]

[It seemed that all the fatigue and aging were completely away from you]

[After waking up, you learned from Krisa that you had slept for three whole days. You were surprised and stunned. You began to study the reasons behind it]

[Mortal wisdom continues to work...]

[You understood the truth. As you get older, your decayed mortal body gradually cannot bear your extraordinary spirit. Therefore, your body spontaneously fell asleep to allow itself to rest]
