Fast Wear: A Different Life

Chapter 198 Lotus Tower (1)

Ji Xiao woke up slowly, feeling dizzy. She tried to open her eyes and looked around, and found that Li Xiangyi, who was supposed to sleep next to her, was nowhere to be seen. She thought he must have gone out.

So, Ji Xiao continued to lie on the bed for a while, then she stood up, casually put on a coat, and walked barefoot to the terrace. Standing on the terrace, she looked out and saw an endless sea in front of her, with turbulent waves and majestic momentum. Faced with such a strange situation, Ji Xiao couldn't help but feel a little puzzled - she and Li Xiangyi were clearly in the vast desert last night, how could they be at the seaside in just one night?

Realizing that something was wrong, Ji Xiao did not dare to delay for even a second and immediately summoned the clouds to figure out what was going on.

"Cloud, come out quickly! Tell me what's going on now? Why did I end up in this place right after waking up from sleep? And the distance is not short. I actually teleported from the center of the desert to the seashore in an instant!"

Hearing the call of its master, Yun Duo hurriedly appeared and said that it needed to ask Tian Dao for details. Before it finished speaking, it quickly left the space and headed straight for the place where Tian Dao lived - the ethereal void. After some communication, Yun Duo finally returned.

Seeing Yun Duo returning, Ji Xiao hurried forward and asked anxiously, "Have you found out the situation?"

Yun Duo hesitated for a moment, then replied, "Uh... Master, the situation is a little complicated. We have come to another world, which is where the male master originally lived."

Ji Xiao frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Okay! Then what is His purpose in having us come here?"

Yun Duo breathed a sigh of relief and said softly, "He did not make any special requests. He just hopes that the male master can live a peaceful and healthy life."

After hearing this, Ji Xiao couldn't help but feel a little confused, but she continued to ask: "Is there any other information?"

Yun Duo nodded and continued, "Another thing to note is that this world is very different from the one we experienced before, and we can't use spiritual power like before. In addition, He also mentioned that it has been a full ten years since the male master fell into the sea. During this period, everything that should have happened has become a fait accompli and cannot be changed. Finally, He gave me a video and said that you and the male master can watch it together."

Ji Xiao nodded her chin to show that she understood, and then raised her own question: "Well, I understand. But why couldn't I return to the original world to rest for a while during these two times of traveling?"

"Well, because your soul is too powerful, but you cannot fully control this power at present, you cannot return to your original place. However, please rest assured that due to the difference in the spatial dimensions, the speed of time passing is also different. So when you go back, only about a week will have passed."

"Okay! So how long will it take me to fully recover?"

"I can't be sure about this question. But judging from your current condition, perhaps after experiencing two or three more worlds, you will be able to completely recover as before!" After all, by then Ji Xiao will remember everything and will be able to better control her own power.

"Okay, you go back first! If there is anything else, I will contact you again."

"Okay, Master."

At this moment, Li Xiangyi happened to walk up to the terrace from downstairs. He was originally looking for Ji Xiao in the room, but he didn't see her, so he guessed that she might be there, and it turned out to be true. However, after finding her, he found that Ji Xiao was only wearing an outer coat and didn't even have shoes on, so he hurried forward and picked her up.

Then he looked at the person in his arms with a look of disapproval, and said with a hint of reproach in his tone: "Xiaoxiao, it's so windy outside, how could you run out without putting on your clothes, not even shoes, what if you catch a cold?"

Ji Xiao leaned in his arms like a little kitten, and replied weakly in a cold voice: "Oh! I just forgot for a moment! I promise I will remember it next time."

After hearing this, Li Xiangyi took big steps without saying anything. After only two or three steps, he carried the person back to the room. After carefully placing him on the bed, he frowned slightly and asked calmly, "Will there be a next time?"

Seeing that the situation was not right, Ji Xiao immediately showed a strong desire to survive and assured him solemnly: "No, there will definitely not be a next time."

Seeing her serious and sincere look, Li Xiangyi finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded slightly, indicating that he was willing to believe what she said for the time being: "Yes."

Then, he slowly stood up, reached out to pick up the clothes placed aside, and gently dressed her. Then, he carefully picked her up, walked into the adjacent bathroom, and gently let her sit on the stool. He skillfully adjusted the water to a moderate temperature, carefully wiped her face and hands, and finally helped her clean her feet and put on shoes and socks for her.

During the whole process, he remained silent, and Ji Xiao did not dare to make any sound to stop him, because she was really afraid of his cold and silent look, mainly because this habit had not changed even after experiencing so many worlds.

After all, she had witnessed those originally gentle people getting angry, and that experience left a deep shadow in her heart, which she could not forget until now.

After Li Xiangyi finished all the work, he looked at Ji Xiao and asked suspiciously, "Xiaoxiao, why don't you say anything?"

When Ji Xiao heard him calling her, she suddenly woke up from her past memories and replied, "Uh...it's nothing! I was just worried about making you angry!"

Li Xiangyi sighed helplessly and explained: "I'm not angry, I just feel guilty for not taking good care of you."

Ji Xiao showed a look of relief on her face, and said softly: "Fortunately you are not angry. In fact, Xiangyi, you really don't have to blame yourself too much. You should know that taking care of me is not your obligation, even if we are already married."

However, in the face of Ji Xiao's persuasion, Li Xiangyi was extremely firm. He responded seriously: "No, it is precisely because we are husband and wife that I have the responsibility and obligation to take better care of you. After all, I let you marry me so that you can live a better life."

Seeing that she couldn't change Li Xiangyi's mind, Ji Xiao stopped trying to refute him and expressed her point of view in a different way. She said, "Since we are husband and wife, we should take care of each other. Today, I didn't dress properly before going out. It was indeed my personal negligence. It has nothing to do with you. You really don't need to feel guilty about it."

After hearing her words, Li Xiangyi stopped worrying about it. After all, their daily interactions were different from those with his master and his mistress.
