Chapter 2: New Century (Epilogue)
Chapter 85: Hehe
A moment after Xi Wei left with Sark and the soldiers, Groin, gradually recovering from his hangover, smacked his lips and suddenly felt a tearing pain throughout his body.
“Roar!”
Stimulated by the pain, he let out a scream and instantly woke up, opening his eyes.
The pungent smell of thick smoke, the scorched black blacksmith shop, the messy forging table, and water all over the ground.
Groin tried to stand up but found his limbs aching and unable to move.
A wooden beam wobbled and crashed onto his nose with a “clang.”
Groin hurt even more.
“Ouch, damn it! By the rocks! What happened while I was sleeping? Was I attacked by a pack of male lava rhinos?”
…
While our Master Groin was questioning life, Xi Wei had already returned to the castle with a brand new Sark.
The first thing to do, of course, was to tell Xing Hai the news of Sark’s resurrection.
“Clang, clang, clang.”
With every step Sark took, the castle floor trembled slightly.
If he didn’t have some estimation of the castle’s load-bearing capacity, Xi Wei would have truly feared that Sark would stomp Winter Fort flat if he took another two steps.
He couldn’t help but glance at Sark beside him.
Although his body size had shrunk, his weight had at least doubled, and he had two devil-like horns on his head. He wondered if Xing Hai would still recognize him later.
Passing through the castle’s main hall, then around two long corridors, and turning the corner ahead, was the fountain in the castle’s front hall.
Faintly, Xi Wei heard Xing Hai murmuring by the fountain.
“Big Stone, Lord said he has found the Flame Demon Heart, and you can be resurrected soon. Aren’t you happy…”
“Big Stone, I’m still waiting for you to tell me stories about Azeroth.”
“Last time you were telling me about Ymirons’ glorious victory in the war against the Gorgoar Bearmen, what happened next? What about his Queen?”
“Big Stone, don’t be so foolish in the future. What if your soul is extinguished next time?”
Xi Wei pursed his lips and walked out from around the corner with Sark. In the fountain, Xing Hai was indeed leaning on the rock base and incessantly talking to Sark’s original remains.
Only Sark could tolerate this. If it were any other undead here, they might have been lectured back to life.
“Xing Hai, look who this is?”
“Huh?”
Hearing Xi Wei’s voice, Xing Hai turned around, and her gaze immediately fell on the conspicuous Sark.
“This, this is… Big Stone!”
“Big Stone, you’re resurrected!?”
Xing Hai’s blue eyes widened, her voice filled with surprise. She even leaped out of the water with a flick of her fishtail, landing on the grass outside the fountain with a “splat.”
Although Sark’s current appearance bore almost no resemblance to his former self, Xing Hai could still read familiar emotions from his fiery eyes.
Sark used to look at her like this.
Watching the merman lady struggling on the grass, Xi Wei sighed helplessly and quickly scooped her up and tossed her back into the fountain.
Then, he took out a silk scarf to wipe the water from his hands and said helplessly:
“Sark, please take care of the original remains yourself.”
“Long time no see. You guys chat first. I have other things to attend to.”
After speaking, Xi Wei patted Sark’s thigh, smiled slightly, and turned to leave.
Behind him, he could still hear Xing Hai’s excited voice and Sark’s response, which was filled with helplessness but also hidden joy.
“Big Stone, why did you become a big iron block? But I still like calling you Big Stone, so I won’t change it…”
“Wow! You have wings now, and a tail. Can you fly? Can you take me to play in the sky?”
“Roar! Damn bug fish, you’re still the same as before. Can you ask only one question at a time!!!”
“Alright, I can fly. I’ll take you to play in the sky another day. But before that, tell me what happened after that war.”
“But… but I forgot…”
“…”

After leaving the castle’s main hall, Xi Wei went to Loli’s room, where he saw a somewhat haggard Gabrielle.
The injuries on her body had completely healed, but the Balrog’s demonic flame curse had burned her soul.
Loli’s Pure Edict had helped eliminate the burning on her soul, but it would still take some time to fully recover.
“Demon… is the Abyss Teleportation Gate closed?”
As soon as she saw Xi Wei, Gabrielle’s most pressing concern was this question.
Although Loli had already told her that Most City was safe, she still wanted to confirm it with the person involved.
“It’s closed.”
Xi Wei shrugged and smiled, saying,
“Not only is it closed, but I also went in for a stroll and even provoked that old dog Felton.”
“When I left the Abyss, Felton was powerless. His face turned green with anger.”
Gabrielle ignored Xi Wei’s joke and continued to inquire,
“What about the citizens? How many casualties were there?”
“Only a dozen or so unfortunate souls were killed by the pursuing demons, and some people sustained minor injuries while fighting the demons, but they were mostly self-inflicted accidents.”
Gabrielle lowered her eyes upon hearing this, her lips pressed together. She let out a sigh of relief.
“Thank you.”
Xi Wei looked at Gabrielle in surprise and said nonchalantly,
“Everyone in Most City is my citizen. As the King, protecting my town and citizens is my responsibility as a ruler. It’s I who should be thanking you.”
“If you hadn’t held the demons back for so long, Most City would probably be a ruin by now.”
Gabrielle looked at the man before her and found his gaze sincere and his expression natural. It was clear that these words came from the bottom of his heart, and he wasn’t putting on a show for her.
He was a strange king.
But he was inexplicably charming and earned respect.
She suddenly understood why Lewenstein and Gabriel held the King of Winter in such high regard.
Xi Wei didn’t linger in Gabrielle’s room. After confirming that her condition was stable, he left with the little maid.
It was already deep into the night.
There was no moon tonight, only the rotating galaxy and the curtain of the human world descending.
After washing up, Xi Wei and Loli were already lying in bed, holding each other tightly, enjoying the quiet after the busy days.
However, Loli might be the only one enjoying it.
After all, Xi Wei was extremely exhausted after the continuous battles.
In less than a moment, he was already snoring softly.
This time, he had truly fallen asleep.
Loli lay nestled in Xi Wei’s arms, her cute, large eyes gazing intently at her master’s profile.
The tail behind her swayed gently, and her soft, smooth feet caressed Xi Wei’s calves.
She looked like she was about to make a move.
“But Master seems very tired now…”
“Would it be inappropriate to disturb Master now?”
Loli’s pretty face flushed. Just by lying in Xi Wei’s arms, a faint floral fragrance began to emanate from her body. She didn’t know why herself; perhaps this was an embodiment of her devout faith in Poseidon.
“Maybe I should skip it tonight…”
Just as Loli was about to obediently lie on her master and fall asleep, she suddenly felt something.
“Huh? Master, are you awake?”
“Master?”
There was no response; Xi Wei was still fast asleep.
Could it be that this happens even when he’s asleep? No wonder every morning…
Loli’s thoughts raced, and her little face couldn’t help but turn redder, causing her entire body to take on a faint pink hue. Her eyes were misty, she bit her red lips lightly, and her soft little hands gently hugged Xi Wei’s neck.
She couldn’t hold back anymore!
Loli propped herself up slightly, leaned closer to Xi Wei’s ear, and regardless of whether Xi Wei could hear, she whispered like a fragrant breath,
“Master… Since, since you’re asleep… then, then Loli will do it herself…”
After saying that, she smiled, lightly kissed Xi Wei’s cheek with a “smack,” then snuggled back under the covers and sat up.
