Life Simulation: I Caused the Female Sword Immortal to Regret Forever

Chapter 278: The Machine Servant’s Failed Escape Plan:

“Master, there’s no time to explain. Please come with me now.”

“Ailei will protect you at all costs!”

Faced with Xu Xi’s confusion, the machine servant initially wanted to explain, but then suddenly sensed something. Her expression shifted into a defensive stance, and she grabbed Xu Xi, immediately traversing through time and space.

“Whoosh!” Time froze, and space shattered.

In the presence of the creator of the universe, even the ascended and transformed Earth could not resist in the slightest.

In just a brief moment of distraction, Xu Xi had already been taken away by the machine servant, vanishing from the courtyard and the gaze of the three supreme beings. In an instant, he had crossed the boundless sea of stars.

The cosmic sea was vast and cold. Trillions of stars gathered into a dazzling celestial waterfall, which Ailei quickly left behind, reduced to a mere flash in Xu Xi’s vision.

He felt uneasy—wasn’t this development a little too extreme?

A long-awaited reunion should have been warm and peaceful. Why had it turned into an escape?

“Ailei, did you misunderstand something?”

Realizing he was moving further away from Earth, Xu Xi finally spoke. “Actually, I’m perfectly safe. There’s no danger at all.”

Being taken away by Ailei wasn’t something he particularly minded—he trusted his loyal machine servant had no ill intentions.

However, with his sister, the witch, and the princess still in the courtyard, they would surely notice his sudden disappearance. The consequences of that realization would be unimaginable.

“Rest assured, Master, there is no misunderstanding.”

“Ailei is saving your life.”

Her answer was serious, her silver-blue eyes flickering. She firmly believed the three supreme beings in the courtyard were extremely dangerous to Xu Xi’s safety.

Thus, she needed to take him away.

To a place that was truly safe.

To serve him once again and ensure his survival.

The endless galaxy gleamed brilliantly, reflecting the unwavering determination in Ailei’s eyes, as well as Xu Xi’s astonishment.

“No, no, no, Ailei, listen to me… this is a complete misunderstanding…” Xu Xi finally realized that the machine servant had misunderstood everything.

Clearly, the overwhelming strength of his sister and the others had been misinterpreted as a threat.

Because of this, Ailei had made a drastic move, taking him directly off Earth in an attempt to protect him.

Xu Xi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He once again assured her that he was in no danger whatsoever.

He wanted her to stop.

To avoid an unnecessary battle.

But just then, familiar voices echoed from beyond time and space, filled with icy resolve and a hint of killing intent.

“Brother, Moli is here.”

“Master…”

“Sir, I’m coming to help you!”

Xu Xi’s disappearance and the disturbance in his room had not escaped the notice of the three supreme beings.

It had only been a short while.

And they had already caught up.

What followed was an earth-shattering spectacle. Sword techniques cleaved through the stars, martial arts shattered the heavens, and creation and destruction reshaped the primordial chaos.

“Then we fight.”

Without hesitation, the machine servant launched into battle.

The starry sky collapsed, reality twisted, and the clash between the four supreme beings warped the universe itself, reducing existence into mere threads.

And this—

Was only a fraction of their true power.

At the critical moment, Xu Xi intervened, stopping the battle and clearing up the misunderstanding.

Thus—

The universe returned to peace.

All the shattered stars were restored, rewound to their original state by time itself.

“I see now. They are not enemies.” Under Xu Xi’s gaze, Ailei finally realized her mistake. She apologized sincerely.

Perhaps it was an illusion.

But Xu Xi thought he heard a trace of regret in Ailei’s voice.

“Hello, I’m Xu Moli.”

“Hello, I’m Wu Yingxue.”

“I am Krisha Kristina, Master’s disciple.”

“I am Ailei, Master’s machine servant.”

With the misunderstanding resolved, the four girls shook hands in a display of goodwill. The harmonious scene made Xu Xi breathe a sigh of relief.

This was how it should be.

This was how a reunion should feel.

Warm, peaceful, and filled with camaraderie.

“Since the misunderstanding is settled, let’s return,” Xu Xi said as he surveyed the dark cosmic sky, shaking his head at the absurdity of the night’s events.

“Understood, Master.” Ailei raised her hand, distorting and collapsing time and space, forming a portal leading back to the courtyard.

They stepped through, returning to Earth from the distant sea of stars.

Strangely enough, outer space was supposed to be far colder than Earth’s autumn.

Yet, upon returning to the courtyard, Xu Xi felt an even deeper chill settle over him.

“Strange. Have I just been through too much tonight…?”

He murmured to himself.

Everything had happened so suddenly.

First, Ailei returned.

Then, the pursuit across the starry sea.

The events were so closely linked that it all felt surreal, like a dream.

“Master, you should rest now,” Krisha softly suggested.

She could see his exhaustion and proposed that he rest first. There would be time to speak with Ailei tomorrow when the sun rose again.

A reunion after such a long time deserved a proper conversation.

But it didn’t have to happen immediately.

Krisha’s suggestion was reasonable, and even Ailei agreed that Xu Xi should rest.

They were all concerned about his well-being.

“Alright then…” Xu Xi hesitated for a moment but eventually accepted their kindness and returned to his room to rest.

It was already late, and exhaustion weighed heavily on him.

The convergence of so many major events had left him drained, his thoughts sluggish and unfocused.

“Goodnight, everyone. See you tomorrow.”

Bidding them farewell, he rubbed his temples and headed back to his room, soon collapsing onto his bed.

The coldness faded away.

A warm sensation enveloped him.

Chasing away the lingering chill that had clung to him all night.

No—

More accurately, the cold wasn’t disappearing.

It was moving farther away from him, drifting into the unknown distance.

“Continue?”

“Come.”

Half-asleep, Xu Xi vaguely heard the sound of fireworks.

Crisp and melodious, like a series of bubbles bursting in the breeze.

In his daze—

He could still hear the voices of the girls.

His dream twisted and morphed, becoming chaotic and restless, filled with dazzling colors and surreal light.

Perhaps it was linked to the day’s events, but this time, his dream was an all-out battle—his sister, the witch, the princess, and the machine servant locked in a devastating war that shook the heavens and shattered the cosmos.

Xu Xi wanted to stop them.

But his voice could not penetrate the battlefield’s chaos.

“Stop fighting! Please, stop!”

The collapsing space-time surged like a tidal wave, drowning Xu Xi entirely, swallowing him in an endless, roaring flood of destruction—

Until everything turned white.

The sky brightened.

As the slightly blinding morning sunlight streamed in, Xu Xi opened his eyes, exhausted. “It was just a dream… I scared myself for no reason…”
