Why can't humans do it too?

Su Er squinted and mentally complained.

To be honest, he didn't sense much of a style related to his past life.

"Oh, and me too!" Like a real child, the pink-haired Skywing excitedly raised her hand and waved. "I provided all the herbs!"

"Heh, you mean taking out the hidden herbs? If I remember correctly, those were originally herbs that the Forest Spirits stored in their warehouse, right?" Following up on the Winged One's words, Xin Ke turned to the bewildered Su Er and explained further, "Didn't I say at the time that I didn't find many herbs?"

“Uh… um,” Suer seemed to understand something.

"The reason I couldn't find it is that this monster lady swept away most of the things before I got there," Xin Ke said with a sneer as she glanced at the Skywing creature in the lake.

Chapter 154 Bad News That Doesn't Matter

When Xin Ke went to search for herbs, the Skywing creature, which was hiding nearby, swept away everything it could find. The reason why there was such a rich medicinal liquid in the lake was because the Skywing creature had filled it with all the herbs that it had hidden.

Although he appeared to be very magnanimous, his actions were fundamentally different from the true meaning of the word "magnanimous."

"What unrealistic dreams are these weeds having?" The pink-haired Skywing shrug smugly raised its small chin with a disdainful laugh. "What I take naturally belongs to the Skywing species. Rather, I'm being so generous by giving out the herbs, don't these weeds even know how to express their gratitude?"

"Huh? It's really strange to hear such words coming from the mouth of a savage whose head is all that matters. How about we just call this year's research topic this—The Etiquette of the Skywing Race? Sorry, sorry, I think I just made a joke. I'm so sorry, Miss Monster~," Xin Ke said, then suddenly chuckled softly and bent her knees slightly in apology.

The words, in words, sound like an apology that was meant to soften the tone, but coming from Xin Ke's mouth, it was like pouring burning gasoline on the heads of the Skywing Clan.

Without a doubt, the pink-haired Skywing was no match for her; Suer clenched his fists as he saw her.

Cold sweat broke out on his back. Even though he had shamelessly declared that he had won before he lost consciousness, Suer was not arrogant at all because of this. In fact, he knew the situation between himself, Xin Ke and this Skywing species very well.

He can hardly be considered a winner; if anything, he has only temporarily eliminated the hostility of the Skywing race.

The Skywing race does indeed have a history of combat casualties. These monsters, whose minds are filled with nothing but war, are worthy of the name of the God of War's creation. Even when facing the strongest enemy, they will not retreat a single step. They will fight to the death until the very last moment. Even when their bodies can no longer support them, they will not back down. Instead, they will detonate themselves to bring the final damage to the enemy.

This was information recorded by the Forest Elves using magic from a great distance while the Skywings were fighting, in order to gather intelligence. Xin Ke had mentioned it to Su Er when looking at those huge craters.

Logically speaking, even if this young girl of the Skywing race couldn't win, she should have chosen to self-destruct at the last moment to uphold the...tradition of the entire race?

But for some reason, this Skywing didn't choose to do that. After hearing him say those three words, it simply gave up on getting up again and instead lay motionless on the ground.

From the moment she appeared, all her words and actions were consistent with Suer's understanding of the Skywing race, except for this one point, which was completely different.

Was it because she wanted to know the answer to that question? Was that answer important to her?

With so little information, Suer could only speculate in his mind.

"How's your recovery going?"

The sound of splashing water rang out nearby. While Suer was lost in thought, Xin Ke, who had ended her confrontation with the Skywing race at some point, came over and asked.

Great.

What's great isn't the physical recovery, but rather that the bizarre and dangerous scene from before seems to have finally passed.

"Well, it's more accurate to say that the effect is a bit too good. I feel like I have inexhaustible energy right now," Suer said sincerely as he raised his hands and moved them around.

Incidentally, this time he finally didn't wake up completely naked in an embarrassing way; his shorts were still on his body. It was a small thing, but Su Er had been thanking his lucky stars ever since he saw the Skywing.

"Speaking of which, uh..." Suddenly remembering something very important, Su'er wanted to ask but was a little embarrassed to speak. After hesitating for a few seconds, she still asked in a furtive, slanted-eye voice, "...This kind of recovery, well, cough cough...will shorten my lifespan, right?"

After all, in his mind, the process of accelerating cell division and healing seemed to consume something that was non-renewable.

It was extremely awkward. Part of the awkwardness came from what he saw when he looked up to ask Xin Ke a question—well, not a small thing, but a forest elf with long, light golden hair standing right next to him. The other part stemmed from his own question.

After all, the person has already survived, and hasn't even been disabled. In this situation, it would be too greedy to still hope that their lifespan won't be shortened... But Suer just wants to know.

It seems they've now latched onto the Forest Elf race, and the once ferocious Skywing race now appears to be able to communicate normally. Suer can't help but imagine what a wonderful and happy life might be like—perhaps with delicious food? Perhaps with a warm and safe environment?

They risked their lives to get all this, and if they don't live to enjoy it... wouldn't that be a huge waste?

He just wanted to live that kind of good life—but is that wrong?

Doesn't he deserve these things?

Suer couldn't stop thinking about these things. Even the beautiful flowers standing on the lake, the tiny sun floating in the air, and the dappled sunlight flowing through his fingertips were constantly soothing his mind and body.

eager.

"Hmm~~~", pinching her chin, Xin Ke pondered as she looked at Su Er's deliberately turned face away, but finally let out a long sigh, "Although I really want to give Mr. Monkey a good answer, but..."

The forest elf with long, light golden hair seemed to be in a dilemma.

"But the fact is that your lifespan has been greatly reduced!" Before Xin Ke could speak, the pink-haired winged creature clapped her hands and gave the answer with a grin. "Hey, hey, although there's a lot of exaggeration involved, you still defeated me head-on, well, I guess head-on, anyway, you did! Achieving such a great victory without wanting to pay any price is just too greedy, isn't it?"

The Skywing race cannot comprehend this.

"Instead of saying that you can achieve all this by paying such a small price, you should hold your head high and be proud of yourself. What's that word again?" The pink-haired winged girl tilted her head and thought for a moment. "Warrior? Or what was it... hero?"

"Haha, that's true, it's definitely not a trivial matter," Suer laughed, touching his wet hair.

Perhaps because he had already guessed it, Su Er suddenly found that when he learned that his lifespan had been greatly reduced, he did not have much intense emotion, but was unusually calm.

Even if you can't live for very long, as long as you enjoy life to the fullest before you die, it's not a bad thing... right?

The forest elf with long, pale golden hair silently watched all of this.

Chapter 155 Cooperation

He had already given enough, and no one could ask him for more... This thought repeated in his mind, and Su Er felt a surge of anger rising within him, which he then suppressed.

A wonderful life.

Stopping thinking about those worries, Su Er suddenly remembered what Xin Ke had mentioned about the expanded space. He looked curiously at the door of the wooden house he had built himself. Through the half-open door, he seemed to see some... white walls?

"What's that?" Su'er asked curiously, pointing to the wooden house, the starlight-filled objects floating in the sky, and the refrigerator by the door. She really wanted to know. "Can we go inside and take a look?"

"Ah~ of course~", Xin Ke smiled again, turned slightly to the side and raised her hand to invite, "In fact, Mr. Monkey will definitely like it... There are many areas where your knowledge is needed."

"Knowledge?"

Following Xinke toward the cabin, Suer asked in return, and the pink-haired winged creature also flew up from the lake and was now floating beside the two of them—right, its name.

Suer then realized that he still didn't know the name of this Skywing creature, and calling it "Miss Monster" along with Xinke was a bit of a death wish... and not very polite either!

What exactly the agreement Tianyi and Xinke reached while he was unconscious can be asked Xinke privately later, but before things get ugly, it's best to maintain the most friendly attitude.

"Although you may already know, let me introduce myself anyway." With that thought, Suer suddenly stopped and turned around, extending her right hand to the pink-haired Skywing. "Suer, that's my name."

Calmly gazing into the eyes of the Skywing, he saw scrutiny in those amber pupils. His outstretched right hand hovered in mid-air, reaching for the culprit who had forced him to shorten his lifespan yet showed no remorse...

"...Is this human etiquette?" After a slight silence, Jibril crossed her arms and asked in return.

The Skywing race's power has recovered considerably. If the previous battle were to happen again, both Suer and Xinke know that they would surely die.

However, that little hand mimicked Suer's gesture and came up.

“Jibril,” the pink-haired winged being said with a smile, “until your knowledge satisfies me, I’ll leave my head on your neck for now.”

“…Ah, there won’t be that chance.” After shaking her clenched hand up and down, she loosened it. Suer saw Xin Ke nod at her, and the group continued walking towards the cabin.

I guess you could say we won.

Suer had already seen a burgeoning curiosity in this winged creature, no, in Jibril, and a willingness to act on that curiosity—and that was enough.

His blood was not shed in vain.

So what exactly did Xin Ke say to make this Skywing species give up the idea of ​​directly searching his brain? Did she tell her what Okan had said?

Lost in thought, Suer walked into his little wooden house—as if he had entered another world.

Is this really his cabin?!

For a moment, Suer was stunned and lost in thought as he looked at everything in front of him.

What was originally just a pit dug with a short sword has now turned into a room that is all too familiar to Suer.

The house has three bedrooms and one living room. As soon as you enter, you can see the coffee table and TV in the living room, as well as the white-painted dining table with willow leaf patterns. Xin Ke, Okan, and I used to sit there together, drinking spirit oil and talking about everything in the other world. Even the sunlight shining in from the window now is no different from that time. The slanting sunlight divides the dining table in two.

It was his home, yet it wasn't his home... It was the home that Xin Ke had seen before.

It wasn't the world created by the forging god Okan, a world caught between reality and illusion, but a room that actually appeared in the real world. The only difference was probably the door behind the dining table. The off-white door that was sealed off in Okan's place was now wide open, and Sull could see that there were quite a few very strange things inside.

The facilities, clearly in the style of the forest elves, contrasted sharply with the tables and items outside, which were mostly in the style of another world. It was obvious that Xin Ke had been hiding in this room while Su Er was still asleep.

"This, this is..." To be honest, when Suer actually saw this familiar home in reality, he couldn't help but get excited. He took a few steps to the coffee table in the living room and picked up the kettle—it was glass and made a crisp sound when tapped, so it wasn't an illusion.

Will it break if dropped on the ground?

I was tempted to throw this thing on the ground and hear the sound, but I was too afraid of dying, so I decided against it.

It's somewhat wasteful to waste one's life here.

"These must be the proof you used to convince Jibril, right?" Sue asked Xin Ke excitedly, holding up the water bottle she had used for several years. "You've really gone to a lot of trouble."

He had already imagined a whole string of things, such as how much effort she had put into creating these things that were not much different from the glass material in her previous life to convince the Skywings, especially since she had to suppress her hatred for the Skywings while he was still asleep and Xin Ke was powerless to kill them.

How powerful... Just thinking that this woman would suppress her pride, contempt, and hatred to negotiate with the monster she despises, especially given her twisted personality, almost moved Suer to tears—the only thing that puzzled her was why Xin Ke's expression was so strange at the moment.

It wasn't a feeling of disgust, joy, or sadness; his two beautiful eyebrows were furrowed tightly.

I don't really understand.

"Ah~, probably about right?" Xin Ke said in a slightly bored voice, picking up a small decorative item from the corridor and playing with it.

"Roar~, did you hear my name?" Jibril folded her wings and flew into the room. Even though she had heard everything being said in the room, she asked with a grin.

"Ah! I can help with that too!" Before the two people inside could answer, Jibril's eyes lit up when she saw the water bottle that Sue was holding, and she floated to his side in the blink of an eye.
