I am doing evil in the collapsed world

Hua occasionally glanced at the gold jewelry in her handbag and occasionally glanced at Xia's expression.

I took Grace to the pet house, threw her in, paid her, and asked the lady inside to help take care of her. Then Grace went to play with the pets by herself.

Hua followed Xia carrying the jewelry, looking like she wanted to say something but couldn't.

Xia: "It's all for you. Take it and use it. Just be frugal. We landlords don't have any surplus food."

After buying 25 kilograms of gold bars and the jewelry in the jewelry shop, Xia had almost spent all his money. This was only possible because the jewelry store gave him a discount on the processing fee. If there was no discount, including the processing fee, Xia might not be able to buy all of it.

Hua nodded while holding the bag, "Thank you."

Xia: "You're welcome. If you can become stronger, all this money won't be wasted."

Xia was quite calm about it. Money was meant to improve strength, and Xia didn't like standing in the front in hand-to-hand combat with others. He was already taking advantage of Hua by assisting her. His woman was fighting in the front, and he couldn't be so stingy as to not even buy her some refined gold. That would be too mean.

Hua: "Change, become stronger?"

Hua was stunned for a moment and was a little dumbfounded.

Xia: "Gold, refined gold, the gilded sword, at least increases the Honkai energy pathway by three points."

Hua: "These jewellery are not...no, nothing."

It turns out that these jewelry were not bought for me to decorate.

Although still very moved, Hua must have felt somewhat disappointed.

Xia could tell what Hua was thinking at a glance.

Although Lao Deng is almost forty years old, he still has some vision.

Xia casually took out a gold ring from Hua's handbag and put it on Hua's ring finger, which looked a little melancholy.

"If you want to make adamantium, make it. If you have any that you particularly like, keep it for yourself. I don't know what charm gold has that makes girls like it besides its industrial and adamantine uses, but since you like it, keep it."

Not everything is inevitable. We are all cultivators and have plenty of time. We can just do whatever makes us happy as long as it does not affect our cultivation.

How could she make an expression that said that if she didn't agree, she would be completely transformed into adamantine gold.

"Ah Hua, your status has changed now. Although you haven't realized it yet, you should know that after last night, you are already mine. It doesn't matter what happens between you and me. As long as you are happy, I won't be angry with you because of the jewelry. Why do you look so lost?"

Hua: "Thank you, thank you.

"Okay, now tell me what you want to do."

Xia nodded in satisfaction, pleased with Hua's renewed courage.

Hua mustered up her courage and clutched her handbag tightly. "Can I, can I keep all of them?"

summer:"……"

Hua: "No, no."

Xia Dan held his forehead with one hand, a little distressed, "Okay, why not? If you like it, just keep it. Anyway, this little jewelry can't melt much refined gold."

Hua: "There should be a lot of gold in Changkong City and Canghai City. I can ask my cats to collect it."

Xia: "It's been over a month. I guess all the gold has been taken away. How could it still be left?"

"Oh."

Hua lowered his head in frustration, as if feeling embarrassed for having made a bad suggestion.

Xia left Hua and went to the nearby milk tea shop to order two cups of milk tea. He returned and gave one to Hua. "Just focus on the battle, and leave the rest to me. After all, as a support, isn't my responsibility to make it easier for you to win in battle?"

Hua took the milk tea, and a ripple appeared in her eyes. Xia put one hand in her pocket and drank the milk tea, leaning on the railing on the third floor of the mall to look down. Because it was a weekday, there were not many people in the mall. Most of them were little girls, and some low- and middle-level cadres of the Fire-Chasing Moths who came to the mall with their parents to shop.

Hua: "Axia, you look really handsome with your hair down."

Hua looked at Xia's profile and said this inexplicably.

Xia lifted her temples and smiled crookedly, "Really? No one has ever said that to me before. I'm actually pretty average looking. Although long hair makes me look a bit more handsome, compared to Kevin and Su, I'm probably just average. At best, I'm just good-looking."

Hua nodded heavily, "At least I think it's handsome."

Xia: "I like to hear the truth."

Ha, it feels really good to be praised by girls.

If only Kevin and Su were here and happened to hear what Hua said.

Xia could imagine Kevin's expression of both dissatisfaction and acceptance when he heard Hua say that.

Hua took a sip of milk tea and suddenly felt that he understood Xia a little bit. "Axia, do you think Dr. Mobius can research a way to achieve immortality?"

Xia: "With us here, it's definitely possible. After all, this world has such bizarre species as silicon-based creatures. If she can really successfully fuse humans and Honkai beasts, then based on Honkai beasts, living for tens of thousands of years wouldn't be a problem."

Xia said casually and casually that there are many magic cultivators in the demon world who are researching to make ordinary people immortal, and many of them have already achieved results. Although the results are rather crooked, there are still things that can be learned from them.

Xia didn't dare to say that Mebius was on the right track, but with his help, it would be easy to at least extend human life by a few decades.

Xia's eyes became deep. Looking at the ordinary happy people in the mall, he suddenly felt as if he was getting farther and farther away from them.

Hua: "Axia, are we really tempering our hearts in this mortal world?"

Hua asked faintly. She felt that they were not tempering their minds in the mortal world. They used their abilities when necessary and did what they were supposed to do. Although they could not do whatever they wanted, they had strong strength to back them up. Hua felt that she seemed to be much more confident.

Xia: "There's more to tempering one's heart in this world than just experiencing and empathizing with others. Observing the world is also an option."

Hua: "See the world?"

Xia: "Use your eyes."

Hua doesn't understand.

Xia: "Watching the daily lives of ordinary people and then gaining your own feelings from them is also a way. Although it will be slower, Ah Hua, we have a lot of time, so there is no need to rush."

Xia drank up the milk tea and threw the cup into the trash can. "Let's go buy some painting supplies for Grace as a gift and then take her back."

Hua checked the time and said, "But it's only a little after three o'clock."

It's been less than two hours since I left home.

Xia weighed the gold brick in his hand and said, "Let's deal with this first. Oh, let's get some refined gold to strengthen our swords. My senior sister hasn't had her serviced for a long time. Let's go back and do some maintenance."

Hua turned around and glanced at Grace who was happily playing with the alpaca in the pet house. "I guess Grace will be unhappy."

Even as she said this, she still followed Xia's footsteps.

Xia: "Buy her some dye pens and she'll be happier. Children are always sad and happy quickly. You haven't been an adult, but haven't you also been a child?"

Xia teased Hua about her worry about Grace.

Hua: "I've long forgotten everything about my childhood."

Xia: "That's because you have a bad memory, little girl."

Hua: "Do you remember that Xia?"

Xia frankly played with the gold brick in his hand, squeezed it into a ball and said, "I forgot."

Hua pursed her lips and smiled, but didn't laugh at anything.

Xia: "Actually, I really like girls with white hair."

“But I don’t have white hair.”

Hua pulled at her long gray hair.

Xia: "You are an exception."

Hua: "Huh?"

Xia: "You are the girl I think doesn't matter if you don't have white hair."

I bought dyes and colored pencils for Grace, as well as some special brushes for oil painting, and also got a drawing board.

These things should be enough.

Xia took the gold bricks and gold jewelry, and Hua carried the drawing board and a small bucket of dye. The two of them took Grayxiu out of the pet house.

Unlike what Hua thought, Grayxiu was not in a bad mood. Hua just waved at Grayxiu, and Grayxiu immediately put down the little rabbit and trotted out.

Throw herself into Hua's arms.

Hua picked up Grace with one hand and let her sit on his arm.

Hua felt that Gray Xiu was really sensible. "Aren't you sad? I called you out and asked you to go back after just playing for a while."

Grace shook her head. "After you left, I suddenly realized that what I like isn't the little animals in the pet house, but the time I spend with you."

Hua: "..."

Hua lifted the drawing board with her other hand and shook it. "I bought you a drawing board and some dyes. I wonder if you'll like them."

Grace: "I like everything that Sister Hua and Brother Xia buy."

Hua dared to swear that when she was little, she was definitely not as sensible as Gray Xiu. She was so sensible that it made people feel distressed, and she was also so good at talking.

Grace opened her arms to Xia, wanting her to hug her, but Xia just turned around and pretended not to see her. She continued to play with the golden ball she had bought, squeezing it flat and rounding it. This thing was quite interesting, but it was expensive.

But being expensive is not a disadvantage of gold, it is my own disadvantage.

Although I can make a lot of money in business, the payment is too slow. It's not like writing books or songs. For books, there's Rita, who pays me in advance every time a book is published. For songs, there's Eden, who also pays me on time every week. For other musicians, they probably pay me monthly. Copyright fees and the like will take a quarter or two to get paid.

As expected, no matter what you do, it depends on whether you have people inside. Now the money is almost spent, and the copyright of the song has been almost sold. So many copies of the published novels have been printed in advance and the market has been saturated recently. It is impossible to have a big hit.

Seeing that Xia didn't want to hug Grace, Hua secretly approached Xia and put Grace on Xia's back. Xia sighed and had to bend down to make Grace more comfortable.

Taking Greyxiu back to the research institute, Greyxiu was quiet all the way. When she was in the driverless taxi, she just looked at the paintbrush with an expression that seemed like she wanted to take it apart but was afraid of losing it.

After returning to the institute, Hua was called upstairs by Blanca to prepare the beef for dinner in advance, leaving Xia and Gray alone on the cushions downstairs.

Xia opened the drawing board for Grayxiu, sealed it with paper, and asked her to draw on the paper.

Grace really wanted to learn how to paint in the air, but she was too young. Although she had strong mental strength, that was only compared to that of ordinary people. She would easily get tired if she really used it.

Xia: "You can't use your mental power to paint yet. Before you can, hone your painting skills first. Let me see what you've drawn."

Grace showed the paper to Xia.

A dazzling humanoid creature with seven halos on its back, looking like a god under the sun, with its face unclear.

Xia: "...What is this, an anime character?"

Grace placed the paper in Xia's hands in surprise. Xiao Fei's hands were covered in dye. "It's Xia."

Xia: "The painting is really beautiful."

Patting her head, although she couldn't see her face, Xia didn't think it was very interesting, but since she was a child, it was better to praise her more than to say that she was incompetent.

Grace yawned and felt a little sleepy. Xia knew that she must have secretly used her mental power to draw a line in the air.

Xia sat on the cushion and patted his thigh helplessly, "You can only sleep for an hour. You have to get up after the beef is stewed. You are still young, so you should practice more of the skills I taught you."

Grace immediately lay down obediently on the cushion, using Xia's legs as a pillow and closed her eyes.

Xia leaned against the cold, reflective steel wall of the research institute, draped his newly taken-off windbreaker over Graceau as a blanket, turned his phone to silent mode, and started watching short videos.

After Blanca finished soaking the beef, she came down to take a look and saw that Gresh had fallen asleep again, covered with Xia's windbreaker. She was a little confused, as Gresh seemed to be particularly sleepy today, but she did not go forward to wake Gresh up.

Maybe Grace really played with her phone for too long last night.

But Xia is really suitable for taking care of children. Blanca knows that if Grace is entrusted to the care of a stranger, it will take a long time to adapt before she can get close to the other person. Even Mobius Grace took several months to adapt before she could be so active in the First Research Institute.

But here with Xia, Grace unexpectedly trusted him and even slept beside him.

Chapter 142 Aren’t you going to get the marriage certificate tomorrow?

Kind-hearted people are always liked by children. It is rumored that children can see things that adults cannot see. Although Blanca does not believe this theory, sometimes children's sixth sense is much stronger than that of adults.

"Xia is really suitable for taking care of children."

After Xia gave Grace a sweet dream, Blanca came forward with a pillow and whispered.

Xia lifted up Gretsch's little head and asked Blanca to put the pillow in place. Only then did her legs free up. After moving away from Gretsch, Xia spoke: "It's not really suitable. It's mainly because Gretsch is better behaved than other children and very obedient."

Blanca: "She's a little too introverted. She doesn't talk much and doesn't want to make friends her age."

Blanca sighed. Grace's inability to make friends was related to her job, which was also one of the important reasons why Blanca wanted to resign.

Changing from kindergarten to elementary school is a big deal. The children will be regrouped and will live in the same school for the next six years unless they transfer schools. If the news that I work at the First Research Institute gets out, it will have a huge impact on Grace.

"Some people like making friends, some people like being alone. Everyone has a different personality. This isn't the Far East where you have to fit in."
