After all, she was a pure "goddess," and she should have possessed such pride and aloofness.
"Xia Zhi, you were looking for me?"
"well enough?"
"Great."
"That's good."
The two exchanged a few words, and suddenly they ran out of things to talk about.
Fukalos bit her lip and said calmly, "If you have nothing else, I'll hang up."
A moment later, Xia Zhi's voice came from the small cube: "Hmm, okay... beep beep..."
You actually just hung up?
Fukalos glared angrily at the screen.
Funina, standing beside her, watched her and laughed incessantly: "Serves you right for being so dramatic! Now you're all set, aren't you?"
Fukaros tossed the small cube to Furina, who was still laughing, with a blank expression: "Is it that funny?"
"Yes, I told you before, the tsundere archetype has been phased out, but you didn't believe me."
"I'm not being arrogant."
"Ah."
Funina glanced at her.
"I have an idea for you, would you like to hear it?"
"No."
"Never mind if you don't want it, I'm going to sleep."
Funina lay down on the bed and closed her eyes.
Fukaros looked at her, pondered for a moment, and then suddenly disappeared.
--
Xia Zhi hung up the call and saw a message notification on the screen.
It was sent by Xia Ci, telling him to go to sleep and go online quickly, as everyone was waiting for him to open the internet cafe doors.
Xia Zhi sent a message to Xia Ci, telling her that he would be going to the internet cafe a little later tonight, and then put away the small cube in his hand.
He glanced at his inventory, where a glittering diamond treasure chest lay quietly.
This was something he had previously obtained from Fucaros.
No rush, we can open it tomorrow.
Xia Zhi got into bed, closed her eyes, and slowly fell asleep.
Because he and Funina now have a bond, he no longer needs to rely on the effect of the [Dream Pillow] and can directly enter Funina's dream with his dream powers.
The next moment, Xia Zhi found himself in a familiar room.
The room's decor, down to every single piece of furniture, remains exactly the same as it was five hundred years ago, unchanged in the slightest.
Upon closer examination, it becomes clear that this is actually a very unusual thing.
Because even though wardrobes and large beds may look luxurious and are expensive, they are ultimately just ordinary items and cannot withstand the erosion of five hundred years.
Unless it was Funina or Fucarus who deliberately maintained them with their divine power.
But is it really necessary? To expend one's divine power for a few ordinary items...
Perhaps what is truly precious is not the objects themselves, but rather the memories they once carried.
Xia Zhi saw Fu Ningna sitting at the table, looking at him with a smile.
"cousin!"
"Cousin, it's been so long..."
Fukalos appeared in front of the mirror and snorted, "Liar. We're the ones who haven't seen you in a long time. To you, it's only been a moment since we parted ways."
Xia Zhi turned to look at her: "You seem very angry?"
Fucarus met his gaze and said, "No, I'm just stating a fact."
"Okay, I misspoke."
The three people sat down at the table, each in the same position as five hundred years ago.
Funina rested her chin on her hands on the table, smiling as she looked at Xia Zhi.
Her gaze moved across his face, finally settling on his eyes, which were no longer gray and lifeless.
"Cousin, can you see now?"
Xia Zhi nodded: "Yes, in the dream, my vision will temporarily return, but when I return to reality, I will revert to my original state."
Funina looked somewhat expectant: "Cousin, can I touch it?"
"What are you touching?"
"Eye!"
"What's so interesting about touching this?"
"It looks great!"
"Since you want to touch it so much, then you can touch it."
Xia Zhi leaned down at her, closed his eyes, and felt Funina's fingers gently fall on his eyes.
She stroked his face as gently as if he were a fragile treasure.
Xia Zhi suddenly thought to himself, thankfully Fu Ningna isn't a yandere anymore, otherwise he would really be worried that she might suddenly poke his eyes out.
I remember reading a novel where the female protagonist, not wanting the male protagonist to see other women, gouged out his eyes...
"Have you touched enough?"
"Um……"
Reluctantly, Funina withdrew her fingers, deciding not to wash them for the time being.
Xia Zhi opened his eyes and asked, "How have you all been living all these years?"
Funina counted on her fingers: "Eating, sleeping, judging, stacking mana, playing games... that's pretty much my daily routine. As for Fukaros, she usually just stays in the mirror reading."
"That book, 'The Power of Faith Explained'?"
"Yes!"
Xia Zhi looked at Fukalos and asked, "You've been reading that book for so many years, you should have mastered all the knowledge in it by now, right?"
Fukalos paused, then looked away: "Of course!"
She seemed somewhat lacking in confidence.
After all, the knowledge recorded in that book was too much and too profound.
If Xia Zhi hadn't directly comprehended it through the "Scholar's Rules," he would have had to spend a great deal of time mastering it.
Xia Zhi smiled and said, "In that case, this book is useless to you now, isn't it?"
Fukalos asked warily, "What, do you want to go back?"
Xia Zhi considered it seriously: "Yes, I originally intended to give that book to Xia Ci..."
Upon hearing the familiar yet unfamiliar name "Xia Ci," Fukaros and Funina's expressions subtly changed.
Xia Zhi continued, "After giving it to you, I would have to copy it again, which seemed like a bit of a hassle. Since you've already finished reading it, why don't you..."
Fukaros immediately said, "No! You've already given me this book! It's mine now!"
Xia Zhi shook his head: "You misunderstood me. That's not what I meant. I just wanted to borrow it and make a copy."
"copy……?"
Fukalos paused for a moment, as if she had remembered something.
"you mean……"
Xia Zhi nodded and took out the small box: "That's right, this is the thing I used to help Funina copy the phone, is that okay?"
Fucaros glanced at the box, paused for a few seconds, and said, "This is fine..."
She took the book out and handed it to Xia Zhi.
Xia Zhi took the book and saw that the cover had many signs of wear. He casually flipped through a few pages and saw that it was covered with dense notes.
It seems that Fukaros has been studying very hard all these years.
Xia Zhi first fed the box, then put the books inside. A moment later, he poured out two identical books from the box.
He returned one copy to Fukaros and kept the other for himself.
At this moment, Funina asked casually, her tone tinged with curiosity, "Cousin, who is this Xia Ci you just mentioned?"
"She is also one of my cousins."
