When 'God' Decides To Start Over

Chapter 1104 419: Life (Grand Finale) (Part 2)

"Barbecue," Li Xiu replied with a smile.

"Alright, I'm good at that. I'll go get some good meat first." Jiuxiao Yun said as he handed Zai Zai to Li Xiu.

Li Xiu took Zai Zai, cradling her in his arms, and looking at her soft pink cheeks and bright, star-like eyes, his mood seemed to improve.

Jiuxiao Yun went off to get meat, and the others found things to do on their own—some helped to clean the yard, some prepared snacks to go with drinks, and some helped tidy things up.

Little Bu'Er was happily fiddling with the charcoal grill, his small hands and face covered in ash, looking like a little cat.

"Jing Li, how's the knife practice going?" Li Xiu asked Jing Li with a smile as he saw him standing off to the side.

"I've gained some insight, but it's far from enough, still a long way behind you," Jing Li replied.

"The knife? Just practice casually. When you have time, go out often, and meet those you like," Li Xiu said with a smile.

"Alright, I'll keep that in mind," Jing Li nodded, then looked at Li Xiu with some curiosity and asked, "Commander, have your injuries healed yet?"

"Some injuries have healed, some probably won't. It's not a big deal," Li Xiu said casually.

"If you need anything to heal your injuries, I'll find a way," Jing Li said.

Li Xiu pointed at his head with his finger, smiling, "This place's injuries, nothing can cure them, but it's alright, I don't need it now."

"Is there really no way?" Jing Li was not as carefree as Li Xiu, frowning as he spoke.

"The spiritual sense overloaded, surpassing the body and brain's capacity, can't be restored anymore," Li Xiu smiled.

The others in the yard, although doing their own things, were all listening to the conversation between Li Xiu and Jing Li. When they heard Li Xiu say this, many paused.

"Does it have a big impact?" Jing Li asked again.

"Not too big, just that my memory is worsening, and control is weaker. It's normal, everyone gets like this as they age," Li Xiu said indifferently.

Upon hearing this, Jing Li's expression changed slightly. Li Xiu spoke lightly, but he knew what it meant to have a worsening memory and control. Yet this time, Jing Li said nothing more.

Others also refrained from asking Li Xiu about his injuries, instead talking about past events, laughing and chatting through the night.

Jiuxiao Yun somehow brought back many fireworks and set them off in the courtyard. Little Bu'Er and Ye Xiyuan played joyfully.

During dinner, Jiuxiao Yun and the others noticed that when Li Xiu used chopsticks to pick up food, he couldn't manage to do it successfully a few times. It saddened them, although none showed it.

"City Lord, there are many aspects of the Magic Armor Skill I don't quite understand. Can I stay here and consult with you?" Ye Xiyuan, being too young, was the first to speak impatiently.

"Little Xixi, you're still young. You can learn Magic Armor Skill anytime. I'm already getting on in years. If I don't focus on training, it'll be too late. Isn't that right, Commander?" Sha Chu smiled charmingly.

"If the beautiful lady is staying, then I want to stay and learn too," Chu Jun said.

"Alright, you all go back. I want to be alone for a while," Li Xiu interrupted them.

Before they could say anything more, Li Xiu turned to Jiuxiao Yun and said, "I'll have to trouble you to take care of Zai Zai for a while."

"Li Ming'Er really likes Zai Zai. She's always with Zai Zai. If I don't bring Zai Zai back, she'll kill me..." Jiuxiao Yun hesitated.

"If she's willing, let her keep Zai Zai. But if one day she doesn't want to, Zai Zai needs a place to go," Li Xiu said.

"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, Zai Zai will definitely have support," Jiuxiao Yun promised solemnly.

"Good," Li Xiu nodded, then waved to little Bu'Er, "Little Bu'Er, you go back to the City of Light first, and I'll visit you later."

"You promised you'd never leave me," Little Bu'Er refused to go, biting his lip in protest.

"We're not separating, I'm just a bit tired now and want to take a break. Once I've rested enough, I'll come for you," Li Xiu smiled.

"That's what you said, you can't break your promise. Let's link our fingers," Little Bu'Er went to Li Xiu, holding out his little finger, his face full of seriousness.

"Okay, let's link fingers," Li Xiu also held out his little finger, hooking it with Little Bu'Er's.

When everyone left, only A Fei stood there unmoved.

"You should go back too," Li Xiu said to A Fei.

"I'm not leaving, you need someone to take care of you," the only one bold enough to say this directly to Li Xiu was A Fei.

"You're not going to avenge anymore?" Li Xiu asked with a smile.

"No, I already know who God is. He's dead, and I have no place to go, I'll just stay here," A Fei said.

Seeing A Fei's expression, Li Xiu knew it would be useless to say more, so he didn't pursue it further.

After Chu Jun and others left, A Fei tidied things up in the yard. Li Xiu looked outside the door and said, "Since you're all here, why stand outside?"

"Cough, cough, getting older, don't want to fuss with too many things. Originally just wanted to see from outside and leave," Ximen Guan coughed lightly as he walked in.

"It seems your situation is quite bad," Ximen Guan approached Li Xiu, examining him.
