We moved to Golden Courtyard

As she spoke, she started jumping into Xu Qi's arms!

In Xu Qi's eyes, it was like a mechanical Klein was being affectionate with him.

At first, I thought the scene was a bit eerie, but now I even find it kind of cute.

Holding Kiana in his arms, Xu Qi smiled and said, "I come to test Haiwei almost every day, so don't I come to see you every day too?"

The longer they spent together, the more Kiana's free-spirited nature became.

At first, in the mental space, her temperament might have seemed a bit mature, but now that her days are becoming more fulfilling, she's become more and more childlike, like a little girl.

"Tch! Give me a break~~ If it weren't for Hevili's Moonlight System, you wouldn't even glance at me. Sigh! Stop hugging me, find a place to sit down, and connect with my mental energy!"

It seems that although Kiana can now roam freely using her mental energy, she still prefers to spend time with Xu Qi in that mental energy space.

As soon as Xu Qi entered Kiana's mental space, he felt a white figure rush into his arms and hug him tightly.

Xu Qi's expression softened as he gently rubbed the other person's fluffy little head.

"Didn't we just have a spiritual connection last week? You little glutton, you don't want it again, do you?"

"Who said that! Couldn't it be an invitation for you to see my world?"

Kiana stood with her hands on her hips, seemingly showing off her recent achievements to Xu Qi.

Aside from the perfectly replicated Golden Garden, there were also the surrounding flowers, trees, and shrubs... Kiana's mental world began to feel increasingly real.

“I remember when I first met you, I didn’t even have any clothes on. What did you say… that was the most essential state of spiritual power. There’s no need to be shy.”

As he spoke, Xu Qi glanced at Kiana, who was wearing an orange coat beside him.

"Actually, you just couldn't do it back then."

Hehe! ~~

The white fluffy ball stuck out its tongue.

Ever since Xu Qi began to merge his mental energy with hers, her mental energy has grown at a rocket-like speed, though... she really couldn't bring herself to say it.

"Kiana, I suddenly have a question. Do you... have a birthday?"

"Birthday? Ah~~ you mean the day when humankind was born, a day to celebrate, right?"

"Ah."

Kiana shook her head.

"I don't know. First of all, I can't really be considered alive in my current state, can I? And... even if I was alive before, I've probably forgotten about it now."

As expected... Xu Qi's eyes dimmed somewhat.

"Oh dear! Why are you looking at me like that? I don't care about any of this, so why are you getting upset? That's not good. I prefer to see you happy, just like me."

A smile returned to Xu Qi's face.

An optimistic girl seems to always be able to spread her cheerfulness to those around her.

548. I have many girlfriends, how am I going to spend Christmas? I need an answer online, urgently!

"So, do you want to celebrate your birthday?"

"Birthday?"

"Hmm." Xu Qi walked to the entrance of the courtyard, squatted down, and looked at the scenery outside.

In Kiana's mental world, there are no blue skies and white clouds, but there are lush grasslands, and further out, you can even see a highway.

"On the birthday, we will buy a sweet cake and prepare a birthday gift for the birthday person."

Then, with everyone as witnesses, we will light candles, let the birthday girl make a wish, and silently offer our blessings, hoping that she will have a better start in the new year.

This is what celebrating a birthday is like.

A hint of longing and anticipation flashed in Kiana's eyes.

"But we have to stay alive first, right?"

"In other words—you want to celebrate your birthday."

"I!……"

Kiana was speechless; after all, who would refuse something that brought such a pleasant feeling?

“You think you have to be alive before you can have a birthday, but who can deny that what you are doing now is not living? Some people are dead, but... she is actually still alive.”

"Oh dear! Don't talk to me with these philosophical words, I don't understand them."

Xu Qi laughed—he's an optimistic fool.

"Okay! Then I'll get to the point."

Xu Qi stood up and, while Kiana was slightly lost in thought, pulled her into his arms.

I want to celebrate your birthday.

Now... there's no way to play dumb anymore.

Xu Qi never hides the fact that he wants to help Kiana get rid of this state where she only has residual spiritual power.

"I've heard some interesting things, such as a religious force in Western Europe called the Mandate of Heaven, and within the Mandate of Heaven, there is a family that represents knights and guardians."

Their surname is Kaslana.

The body imbued with spiritual power is the most difficult to fake, and Xu Qi clearly felt the shock in the other party's heart.

"You've read it, haven't you? You've read this part of my memory."

"Xu Qi..."

"Furthermore, I also learned that my little maid, Miss Rita, is also a person of destiny, although she has always refused to admit it and does not want to drag me into any deeper vortex."

But I still found out.

……

"Our meeting was no accident," Xu Qi said with certainty.

There are some things I don't want to think about in detail, but that doesn't mean I won't think about them. From the moment you met me, I felt that our meeting was inevitable.

And this inevitability... is guiding me to do something for you. Kiana... although the source of all our emotions seems to come from something natural.

But I have to tell you—I do.

The girl in Xu Qi's arms squirmed shyly, trying to break free from his embrace. How could a body made of spiritual energy possess such a concept as shyness?

She might even blush.

Kiana muttered, looking down, "Don't talk like you're proposing to me..."

"We naturally blended in the first time we met, and neither of us was naked. Aren't you ashamed of that, but you're ashamed of this?"

"That's because your mind is filthy!"

Xu Qi smiled.

"If it were anyone else's mental energy, I wouldn't let them in! Besides... I originally thought you were a cute and adorable girl, who would have thought you were a man!"

Xu Qi was both amused and exasperated.

Where did you get these conclusions from?

Even so, Xu Qi still half-embraced Kiana, kissed her cheek, and then kissed her lips.

The white fluffy ball, like a little animal, showed no resistance whatsoever.

"Kiana, I think I love you. Let me do something for you, okay?"

"You don't love me... you're clearly just lusting after my body."

Where did you get a body from?

"you!……"

Enraged, Kiana tackled Xu Qi and pinned him against the entrance.

Kiana didn't need to remove their clothes manually; they were merely creations of her mental energy, disappearing with a thought. Even Xu Qi's clothes were the same.

Reaching out to support it, the white fluffy ball proudly raised its head and said smugly, "The body's reaction to spiritual power doesn't lie. You want to merge with me now!"

"indeed."

"Hmph! You say you want to help me find my real body, but you're really just lusting after me! You just want to toy with me in real life too! Hehe~~ I've found out~~"

Xu Qi thought for a moment, then reached out and stroked Kiana's little pigeon. It wasn't very big, but it was at least fuller than Fu Hua's, and it was a normal size for a young girl.

Mei's figure is truly enviable; not every girl can be so voluptuous in her teenage years.

But how should I put it? Being able to hold it in one hand, and having it perfectly fill the palm, is also a wonderful feeling. And this is only the spiritual body.

All the senses are merely constructs of mental energy; if it were the real world…

Xu Qi's eyes lit up, and he nodded very seriously.

"indeed."

"You!?...Ugh!"

But before they knew it, Xu Qi had made his way in.

The tactile sensation is indeed fake, but the problem is that the pleasure that directly affects the mind when mental energy merges is not like that.

The reality confused Kiana, and it also suddenly gave her a longing.

I wish... in the real world... I could be like Xu Qi...

Gradually, I succumbed to this.

When consciousness returned to his body, Xu Qi glanced at his pants and fell into deep thought.

I need to take a shower later.

······

Kiana's casual joke gave Xu Qi a vague idea of ​​how to spend Christmas.

He suddenly realized something he should have done long ago, but had always overlooked...

At the same time, he also felt...

This is something the other party has probably been looking forward to for a long time.

Now that we've figured out a direction, we naturally have an idea.

And on Christmas Day, you still need to prepare a gift for each girl.

Not only his girlfriend, but also girls he usually takes good care of, or girls he has a good relationship with.

For example, Delta and Susana, as well as Seele and Shigure Kira.

Oh! And Anna too! My relationship with Anna is a bit complicated... but I still have to give her a gift.

Upon closer reflection, Xu Qi realized that he had way too much to prepare for Christmas!

Just as Xu Qi was thinking this, he received a phone call.

"Hello? Who is it?"

"Young Master Xu! It's your junior uncle!"

The cheerful and lively voice made Xu Qi put on a deadpan expression.

"Shi Bao...when did you become my junior uncle?"

"Huh? Aren't you Fu Hua's man? Then Fu Hua's elders are your elders, right?"

Holy crap! You can't argue with that!

"Let's put that aside for now. I heard that the old antique is now in your courtyard?"

"You mean Sister Xian'er, right? Indeed."

"Yo yo yo~~ Sister Fairy~~ You're calling her so affectionately~~"

Xu Qi took a deep breath, resisting the urge to hang up the phone immediately.

"Alright, if that old relic is here, we'll come too!"
