A large number of peach trees were planted at the back of the "Taoyuan". Every year at the end of spring, a large number of pink peach blossoms would spread out. The horizontal branches were elegant, and the slanting branches were freehand. The falling petals drifted in the wind like rain. They were the most dazzling colors in the beautiful scenery of the Taoyuan.

They were the fairies of heaven and earth. Every year, they would come as scheduled. What they displayed in front of people was always a romantic appearance. Even with the passage of time, their beauty would not change.

The Taoyuan slowly expanded outwards at a neither too fast nor too slow speed. More and more buildings rose from the ground. At first, they only occupied a small area at the foot of the mountain. Later, they gradually occupied the entire top of the mountain. It seemed that they had not had enough.

Xie Ziyou had planned to spread the "Taoyuan model" throughout the entire continent. However, after thinking about it, he decided to let nature take its course.

Now, they occupied an inconspicuous corner and could still survive safely. If they expanded too much, it would not be easy to manage and would ruin the reputation of the Taoyuan. Secondly, it would easily attract the attention of some people with high cultivation and cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

With the System as his backing, Xie Ziyou was not afraid of starting a war with anyone. However, he was afraid that he would completely lose control of this world.

Moreover … the economic foundation determined the superstructure. Judging from the economic situation of this continent, it was still far from being able to popularize sex.

The "Taoyuan" was a small seed.

It was planted in this smoke-filled land. It was also planted in the hearts of every person in the Taoyuan. It took root and sprouted. One day, it would grow into a towering tree and provide shade.

What Xie Ziyou needed to do was to cultivate this seed well. He needed to strengthen the soil and provide it with enough nutrients and rain to let it grow healthily.

… …

The "Taoyuan" gradually became a beautiful legend on the continent.

Every person who came here was a part of the legend, and through their mouths, the Peach Blossom Spring spread far and wide.

People said that this was a blessed land for cultivators and a paradise for demons. It was the last pure land in the world.

The Lord Hsieh and his wife of the "Taoyuan" were also an important part of the legend.

The union of a human and a half-demon was condemned by the world. However, people who saw them could only think of the word "compatible" in their minds. There was nothing else to say.

… …

Xie Ziyou felt that Xie Heng had been acting a little strange recently.

He always sat under the setting sun, propping up his chin and pretending to be deep in thought. His gaze was distant, and from time to time, he would let out a sigh — as if he was afraid that no one would know that he had something on his mind.

Xie Ziyou walked past the young man several times, but she did not look at him and refused to ask.

Within a few days, Xie Heng, who had been ignored several times, eagerly came over.

"You," he said miserably, "if I have to do something, go away for a while..."

"Leave?" Xie Ziyou glanced at him in surprise and asked, "For how long?"

"… I can't say for sure. It might be soon, or it might take a long time."

Xie Heng smiled bitterly.

As the sun set in the west, the sunset glow was like fire. The setting sun turned the world into a furnace and was reflected in the young man's eyes, refining them into a fiery glow.

Hsieh Heng-ting looked at Xie Ziyou and said slowly, "You you, are you willing to wait for me?"

Xie Ziyou nodded thoughtfully, then shook his head.

"… You you?" Xie Heng was puzzled.

"You asked me to wait for you. You have to give me a time, right?"

Xie Ziyou counted with his fingers and said, "How long will you be gone? One year, two years, or ten years?"

Xie Heng's gaze wandered, and he did not speak for a long time.

Xie Ziyou suddenly understood.

He raised a finger and waved it mischievously in front of Xie Heng's eyes. The corners of his mouth curled up, and he smiled sweetly.

Xie Heng hesitated and said, "One year?"

"No," Xie Ziyou said, "One month, just one month.

If you don't hear from me for a month, I will remarry... Ah no, I will expand the harem, recruit concubines, and experience the taste of debauchery. "

Xie Hengyi choked on his saliva. He covered his mouth and coughed violently a few times. He smiled bitterly and said, "You you!"

Xie Ziyou's eyes darted around before he suddenly said, "Unless you tell me where you're going and what you're going to do."

Xie Heng shook his head helplessly.

This … he really could not tell Xie Ziyou.

He had awakened his memories as a system, and had been in contact with 025 for the past few days. That guy had secretly planned something big while he was dating. It was extremely crazy, and Xie Heng's liver trembled when he heard it.

025 originally planned to do this by itself.

For this, it specially arranged everything, including bringing Xie Heng into the pocket dimension and temporarily sealing his memory. According to 025's plan, when Xie Heng and Xie Ziyou III's relationship ended, regardless of whether it succeeded or failed, it should have settled the dust on its side.

However, Xie Heng's Awakening was too sudden.

It was a full pocket dimension. Even though the flow of time was different, this time difference caught 025 off guard.

Under Xie Heng's coercion, it had no choice but to tell Xie Heng the whole plan.

Because the foundation of the plan was also related to Xie Heng.

From 001 to 303, Xie Heng crazily carried out missions in a short period of time. 025 secretly left a backdoor in his program to copy and save the mission and world data. This way, it had a large sample database in its hands.

Through this, 025 could analyze the headquarters' mission mechanism, sort out its program mechanism, imitate, tamper, and even … block.

Then, that guy became arrogant.

Xie Heng closed his eyes slightly, and the scene of his meeting with 025 immediately appeared in front of him.

In the distant void, the sparkling light bloomed with boundless radiance. It said heroically, "I want to burn its leaves, cut off its branches, and let the headquarters experience the beauty of going bald!"

Leaves, branches, these were all the headquarters' way of connecting to the endless pocket dimension.

025's words were to make the headquarters a figurehead and let it be a commander without an army.

Xie Heng only felt an extreme headache.

Why didn't this guy go to heaven?

The most terrifying thing was that in the face of 025's crazy declaration, Xie Heng's heart thumped uncontrollably. His blood boiled like burning magma, using his limbs and bones as a battlefield, wantonly burning in the ditch.

It was really f * cking … burning.

Whether from the perspective of emotion or friendship, Xie Heng wanted to fight with 025.

Moreover, after 025 revealed to him, he had to admit that the 025 plan had a high chance of success.

The only problem was …

Xie Heng lowered his eyes and sighed softly.

He closed his eyes deeply and slowly opened them again. He quietly raised his head and stared at his lover in front of him for a long time. His gaze swept inch by inch across Xie Ziyou's delicate eyebrows as if he wanted to engrave his lover's appearance into his soul.

After a long time, Xie Heng suddenly said, "Just one month."

He paused for a moment, then repeated, "You You, wait for me for a month, okay?"

Xie Ziyou looked at the young man in surprise. From his deep eyes, he saw many complicated expressions. A touch of worry suddenly struck his heart, and the joke he originally wanted to make suddenly stopped.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Xie Ziyou suddenly turned around and reached out to grab Xie Heng's wrist. He whispered, "I'm just joking with you.

Of course, I'll wait for you. I'll wait as long as it takes, but … don't make me wait too long. "

His slightly cold fingers had just touched the young man's wrist when Xie Heng suddenly grasped Xie Ziyou's wrist in his palm. His five fingers were tightly intertwined, and the scalding heat spread from his fingertips and palm, drilling into Xie Ziyou's Fair Complexion skin and spreading all the way.

Xie Heng's fingertips were slightly calloused, and when he rubbed them, it stirred up a wave of heat. He pulled Xie Ziyou into his arms and hugged him tightly. He turned his head and buried it in the side of Xie Ziyou's neck. After a long silence, he said softly, "Just one month."

"… Huh?"

"Just wait for me for a month." Xie Heng's voice gradually became firm, and he insisted, "One month, I'll definitely come and find you."

…

Xie Ziyou felt that this guy was really strange.

Before lying down on the bed, he opened his heavy eyelids and thought in a daze that he should ask Xu He to come over tomorrow and examine Xie Heng's brain …

Summer was coming, and the night breeze was gentle, gently brushing past his cheeks.

It was like a reluctant kiss.

Xie Ziyou had a very long dream. It was a mess, but surprisingly, it didn't make him feel irritated.

In his drowsy state, he vaguely heard a series of gentle voices.

It sounded like the voice was saying "goodbye", but it also sounded like the voice was saying "wait for me".

When the sky was slightly bright, Xie Ziyou slowly woke up.

When he opened his eyes, he caught a glimpse of a clean and tidy snow-white ceiling. He was stunned for a moment before he suddenly woke up.

"… Where am I?"

Xie Ziyou turned over and got up, but he didn't manage to do so. He almost twisted his waist.

He was used to having a high cultivation level and a light body. Now that he was an ordinary person again, he was surprisingly not used to it.

However, when he shifted his gaze, everything in the room fell into Xie Ziyou's suddenly narrowed pupils.

The room wasn't very spacious, but it was decorated very warmly. The aluminum alloy windows were half open, and the floor-to-ceiling windows were bright.

Outside the transparent glass door was a narrow balcony. A pile of old books was piled up in the corner of the balcony. Emerald green ivy climbed up the railing, and palm-sized green leaves swayed in the wind as if they were waving at him.

It was a strange yet familiar scene. When he recalled it, it felt like a lifetime ago.

Xie Ziyou's hands couldn't help but tremble. A shocking and frightening thought surfaced in his mind. He quickly closed his eyes and sank his thoughts into his mind.

The position in the system list was empty. There was only a small line of words left.

[System 303 transferred 10000 points to Host X086.]

[Detected that the points have reached the target value. The return process is activated.]

[Congratulations, you have successfully removed the binding. I wish you a happy life.]

Xie Ziyou's heart trembled!

In the next second, the three lines of words quickly disappeared. It was as if there was a huge force that kicked Xie Ziyou out.

The system space was closed to Xie Ziyou.

Xie Ziyou sat on the bed in a daze for a long time. His lips trembled as he muttered, "Xie Heng …"

His voice suddenly became hoarse. His lips opened and closed, but he couldn't make any sound.

Xie Ziyou's nose twitched, and his vision gradually blurred.

"Bastard."

He felt uncomfortable and resentful. He threw the pillow at the head of the bed. He thought to himself, "F * ck, Xie Heng, you bastard!"

The pillow flew out and hit a wall calendar on the head of the bed. The hard paper fell to the ground with a loud thud.

Hearing the noise in the room, the door opened. A woman's voice came from outside the door. "You, are you awake?"

Xie Ziyou's heart trembled again!

He scrambled off the bed and ran barefooted towards the door. He grabbed the door handle.

A delicate middle-aged woman was standing outside the door. Her wavy hair was tied behind her back. She was wearing a light-colored apron and was holding a spatula in her hand. She was looking at him suspiciously.

Xie Ziyou couldn't hold back his tears anymore. They flowed out from the corners of his eyes.

Xie Ziyou rushed forward and hugged the woman tightly.

He buried his head in the woman's shoulder and suppressed his sobs. He only squeezed out a low voice from his throat. "Mom!"

"What's wrong?"

The woman was holding the spatula in her hand. She couldn't hug the young man back. She bent her elbow and gently patted Xie Ziyou's shoulder. She said gently, "What's wrong? Why are you crying?"

The smell of fried eggs wafted to his nose. Xie Ziyou tried his best to blink, but he couldn't hold back his sobs. His sobs gradually turned into loud wails.

As he cried, he sobbed and said, "Mom, I love you so much."

The woman didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

She put down the spatula and gently lifted Xie Ziyou's face to wipe his tears. She smiled and said, "Okay, don't cry. Your eyes are swollen. Aren't you afraid that people will laugh at you?"

Then, she bent down and picked up a piece of paper from the ground. She handed it to Xie Ziyou.

"Did you put this on the door?"

Xie Ziyou wiped away his tears. He held his reddened eyes and lowered his head to take a look.

There was a piece of white paper in his hand. There were four words written on it. The words were written smoothly.

"Wait for me to come back."

The signature was a small gray snake. There were two dark outlines on its back. If one looked carefully, they were actually two hearts.

It was a small snake holding a heart.

Xie Ziyou caressed the white paper. His eyes were red again, but a warm current flowed through his heart. He couldn't help but smile.

"Bastard," he whispered.

But he couldn't stop his tears. They rolled down his face like broken beads.

"Okay, go and wash your face."

The woman stood in front of him. Her gaze was gentle. She smiled and said, "Child, you're crying and laughing so early in the morning. Are you possessed?"

The morning light shone through the bright floor-to-ceiling windows and sprinkled a layer of gold on the pear wood floor. It was so warm, like a flickering flame.

Xie Ziyou clutched the paper tightly. He looked at the busy figure returning to the kitchen. His heart was filled with joy.

The city, awakened by the breeze, quietly moved. The light golden leaves of the trees on the streets rustled and fell. A loud whistle faintly sounded outside the window.

… It was like a long-awaited call.
