Fast Wear: A Different Life

Chapter 415: Longing for Love (29)

Over the years, Xiangliu has lived alone in the polar ice field. He either practices or goes out to fight. The only free time he has is spent with the egg that Ji Xiao gave him.

He treated the egg just like Ji Xiao had done to him.

He read to it, played the piano for it, and dug ice crystals to make a nest for it, but it couldn't be too cold, so he also put the fire crystals in his own space together.

In this way, after nearly two hundred years, the egg finally broke out of the shell.

That day, Xiang Liu just woke up and heard the sound of eggshells breaking, "crack, crack..."

Xiangliu has been guarding beside the eggshell since he woke up, eating dried meat while waiting for the little thing in the egg to come out.

He didn't know what was inside, and his mother didn't tell him either. But it didn't matter, he would know what it was when it came out!

Xiangliu stared at the eggshell intently, waiting for the little guy inside to break out.

Suddenly, the eggshell cracked completely, and a small furry head popped out from inside. It blinked its eyes and observed the surrounding environment curiously.

Xiangliu looked at the little ball of fur with surprise, his heart full of love.

He carefully stretched out his hand and gently touched the soft white fur of the little ball.

The little ball of fur felt Xiangliu's kindness and rubbed his hand gently. Then it made a crisp cry and walked to Xiangliu's flat palm.

Xiangliu gently tapped the little fur ball's head with the finger of his other hand, chuckled and said, "You little thing, it took you more than 200 years to break out of your shell, and after you broke out of your shell you were still a fat little fur ball. From now on you will be called fur ball! Okay?"

Maoqiu seemed to be responding to Xiangliu and chirped twice.

Xiangliu smiled and said, "It seems that you like this name very much. But now you have to eat your eggshells first, or you won't grow up due to malnutrition."

As he spoke, Xiangliu placed the ball of fur next to its eggshell and stood there.

The fur ball obediently started eating the eggshells with the sound of a crunching sound.

Because it is so small, it eats a little slowly, not as fast as Xiangliu when it just hatches from its shell. But who can blame Xiangliu for having nine heads?

A head and a piece of eggshell, gone in two bites.

When Maoqiu finished eating the eggshell, it was almost dark. Xiangliu did nothing that day and just watched Maoqiu.

But he did not do nothing. He wrote a letter to Ji Xiao, telling her that the egg had finally hatched.

It is an ice phoenix, but it is still very small, fluffy, like a ball, so he named it "Fluffy Ball".

At the same time, Xiangliu also drew a series of pictures of the ball of fur breaking out of its shell, and sent them to Ji Xiao together with the letter.

That night, when Ji Xiao and Fu Shiqi returned to their room to rest, they saw the letter sent by Xiang Liu on the table in their bedroom.

After Ji Xiao finished reading the letter, she handed it to Fu Shiqi who was waiting anxiously.

"Is this Xiangliu's companion? It's so cute and fluffy."

"Well, he's quite cute, but he grows slowly, which is good. Now that his friend has hatched, we can let him go out and travel."

As he said that, Ji Xiao wrote a letter back to Xiang Liu.

At the same time, Ji Xiao also sent him the clothes, shoes and socks that she had made for him, and asked him to go home after a while.

After all the things were sent away, Ji Xiao asked Fu Shiqi, "Xiang Liu's coming-of-age ceremony will be held soon. Have you prepared the things you prepared for him?"

"Almost there, just a little bit more."

"What else is missing?"

"All it needs is his original power to complete it."

"That's something I happen to have." Ji Xiao said as she took out the original power as thin as a hair and gave it to Fu Shiqi.

Since that night, the couple has been busy because they wanted to give him a complete coming-of-age ceremony.

Xiangliu also took Maoqiu and slowly left the polar region. During this period, he took Maoqiu to the place where Ji Xiao transformed that year to dig up a lot of ice crystals with lightning, just to give Maoqiu a little lightning after eating them as snacks.

Unlike Xiangliu's leisurely life, Ji Xiao and Fu Shiqi are really busy to death. They don't even know how many people they have met in the past few hundred years.

But they were all spirits who had been helped by the couple, as well as some ordinary people. They didn’t know how many invitations they had written!

It was not until the day before the ceremony that the two of them finished their work, and this was accomplished with the help of robots such as Xiaohong.

The day Xiangliu hatched was the season between spring and summer, but the place where they lived was maintained by spiritual energy.

Therefore, the whole yard is full of flowers, all blooming, and even the koi in the fish pond are growing beautifully.

Xiangliu also arrived home before his birthday. Originally, he was supposed to arrive the day before the coming-of-age ceremony, but his mother went to bring him back personally.

During this period of time, he kept trying on clothes. His mother was so crazy that she prepared dozens of sets of clothes for him to change into.

Finally, Xiang Liu couldn't stand it anymore and pulled Xiao Yao and Fu Shiqi, who were standing aside and watching the show, over. With the idea that it's better to let a friend die than to let the poor Taoist die, he said, "Mom, my dad and Xiao Yao envy me for having so many clothes. Why don't you prepare some for them too?"

Ji Xiao said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, I have prepared theirs too, no need to be envious."

As Ji Xiao said that, he took out ten more racks full of clothes.

She pointed to the pile of clothes in front of her and said, "The five on the left rack are your father's, and the five on the right are Xiaoyao's. Go change into them and let me see. Once you have decided on what to wear in the end, you don't have to choose mine."

Xiaoyao and Fu Shiqi, who were originally enjoying the show, suddenly felt as if they had drunk a large bowl of Coptis chinensis. They were bitter at heart and could only take the food back to their room and change it.

Not only clothes, but also a whole set of accessories must be worn.

Fu Shiqi's is okay, since he is a man after all, and he doesn't have many accessories. But Xiaoyao's is terrible. He has to comb his hair and change his hairstyle and accessories. It takes half a day to complete the whole set.

In this way, the father and his two children changed clothes countless times during the day. Even though they had magical powers, they were still tired!

Due to physical and mental fatigue, the father, his two sons and his daughter fell asleep immediately after washing up.

The next day, Ji Xiao was not so crazy as to wake up the three people.

After giving instructions for the rest of the tasks, she went to the pond in front of her house to fish.

Over the past few hundred years, I don't know how many batches of fish have been released into this pond.

Besides Ji Xiao and Fu Shiqi, Xiao Yao would go fishing sometimes, but she couldn't sit still. In this case, she would choose to use magic to weave a net and catch all of them.

After spending a long time with Ji Xiao, Fangfeng Beimu would take his fishing rod and homemade bait and sit by the pond for the whole day on his days off.

At night, he would cook fish for Xiaohong and would not go home until they had dinner.
