Time in a collapsing world

On Mount Taixu, a round stone table large enough to seat more than ten people was placed outside the Taoist temple. The table was filled with sumptuous dishes, and piles of white steamed buns were brought out from the kitchen.

"The steamed buns are here, take what you want!"

Qianjie held the steamer and distributed it to several people one by one.

"Brother Jie, thank you! Uh-huh... Although I didn't feel hungry after waking up, I'm still a little greedy."

Padu was the first to reach out, holding one in one hand and one in her mouth, while passing the other hand to others.

"...Aren't Alicia and Sakura coming to eat?"

Kosmo looked at the people present and asked.

"They are still chasing us, but they will be back soon. After all, Li still needs to eat."

Wei Erwei stuffed a few steamed buns into her hat and said casually.

"Ah... Sister Alicia and the others are here."

Xi looked in a certain direction and saw Alicia running towards him, holding Yaezaki, who looked hopeless, in her arms, and Sakura chasing after her.

"Okay, Ying, let's stop playing and eat. We can talk after dinner if you have anything to say~?"

Alicia squeezed in between Xi and Desdobia's seats, and both of them gave her a large seat.

Yaeji tried to break free from Alicia's arms, but she held him tightly, not letting him move.

"Aliceia, didn't you say you wanted to have dinner?"

Yae Ri had a pair of dead fish eyes.

"Yeah, let's eat, shall we~?"

Pressing Yaegiri on her legs, Alicia laughed. Sakura behind her was silent for a while, but finally chose not to fight for the food at the table. She quietly walked to the seat on the other side of Desdobia and sat down.

"Here, steamed buns."

Destobia handed her two.

"Um……"

The steamed bun was a little frozen as soon as it was taken.

After that, everyone started a pleasant and harmonious meal time.

Alicia fed Yaeri, who looked humiliated. Although the scene was harmonious, everyone else felt it was a bit funny considering their relationship.

Only the steamed bun in Sakura's hand became even harder due to the freezing, and even Desdobia and Kosmo beside her were affected.

During this time, everyone asked Yaeri a lot of questions, including about his life in the past ten years, his physical defect of shrinking, and his two sisters who were waiting for him in Tianming.

"Speaking of which... it's really amazing. One of Li's younger sisters not only looks like Ying, but even her name is almost exactly the same. Could it be that she came from another world?"

Alicia had seen the photo of Yae Sakura taken by Desdobia, and after looking at it carefully for a long time, she could not tell the difference between her and Sakura.

"The technology to travel through worlds is not something that the current human natives can possess~" Weiliwei said as she put a piece of beef into the steamed bun.

"Even the ears are restored one-to-one... Although it was caused by the Herrscher of Corrosion, such a coincidence can be encountered by Li. This world is really magical~?"

"…Where is she now?"

Looking at the photo of Danzhu, Cangxuan and the two sisters from the Yae family, Ying also missed her own sister.

Before this, she had already had video calls with Ling through the communicator for several days. However, this was only a virtual way of communication and could not replace the real feeling of face-to-face communication.

"They are already on their way to Taixu Mountain by Hen, but since they are on another continent, they will be a little slower." Desdobia replied.

"What about the others? We're awake now. Won't Kevin and the others come over for a gathering?" Weiwei asked, putting the hat filled with a lot of steamed buns back on her head.

"Except for some people who can't get away, everyone else has already rushed here, but it will take a long time." Hua looked at Yae Li who was held in Alicia's arms and said helplessly: "It will take at least three weeks."

"Just send me a message when the time comes. When you guys have a meal over there, I'll find something to eat by myself. I can also join in the fun through a video call!"

Yaeri turned her head away, avoiding the large piece of pork handed to her by Alicia, and spoke.

"You, you're actually going to be absent at such an important moment?"

Qianjie strode over and shook Yaeki's little head unhappily.

"Brother Li, how about we send you a message in advance, and you can set aside a few days to come out, and then let someone who is on the road faster pick you up. This way, we can all have a lively gathering together!" Paduo suggested.

"You want to go back even after becoming like this? Can you still go to the battlefield in this state over there called Destiny?" Desdobia muttered.

"At least I think that compared to the mission Mei issued to you, the battlefield of destiny is just a game~"

"Really? Then why did you become like this?" Qianjie sneered.

"It's that guy Mobius. I was just being nice to him but he came to mess with me!"

Looking down at her own two little hands, Yaeri became angrier and angrier.

"Well, considering the result, should I just say 'well done, dear Mobius'?"

Alicia pinched Yaeji's little face, not minding the oil stains on his face when she just fed him.

"Yeah, well done. Now that things have turned out like this, it should be okay for me to call you uncle and aunt, right?" Yaeri counterattacked.

"Sure~ You can also call Gray Shu sister or Mebius grandma~?"

"Well, if Brother Li dared to say that, Sister Snake would definitely tear him apart, right?" Paduo laughed dryly.

"By the way...where are Danzhu and Cangxuan?"

Yaeri looked around at everyone and realized that the twins were nowhere to be seen.

"Oh no! Sister Danzhu and the others are still at the foot of the mountain. I forgot to notify them... I'll go call them!"

They had completely forgotten about it. After all, the awakening of Alicia and the others and Yaeri's coma attracted too much of their attention, so the two twins who were temporarily arranged to live at the foot of the mountain were naturally forgotten.

After Yaeri mentioned this, Xi and Desdobia suddenly remembered this.

However, just as Xi stood up, Hua gently pushed him down, "Don't worry, they went up the mountain to see, but then went down again."

This was a gathering of warriors, and Danzhu and Cangxuan consciously did not join in.

"Let's go find him after dinner. Xi, sit down and eat first." Desdobia also said.

"All right……"

After the meal, Qianjie and Hua took the initiative to clean up the table, while the others started a series of discussions around Yaezaki, or rather... teasing?

"Look, Sister Weiwei is going to show you a magic trick!"

Weiwei took out the steamed bun that had been put in the magic hat earlier and tossed it in the air like an acrobat.
