As was customary, after returning, Wang Shu first picked up the watering can and thoroughly watered the flowers and plants He Xi had grown.
It was a simple task, yet one with an enormous workload. It had to be carried out meticulously and carefully, ensuring that every beautiful and delicate flower and blade of grass received equal care.
Angel Forest was peaceful and tranquil, with fresh air brimming with vigorous life.
After working for more than half an hour, Wang Shu finally finished his task.
He then set down the watering can, walked over to He Xi, who was lazily reclining in her chair, and said with a smile:
"Big Sister, the task is complete. Please give me your next instructions."
Upon hearing that, He Xi closed the book in her hands and looked around the Flower Garden. Everything had indeed been properly tended to, so she said:
"Not bad. Sit down and rest for a while too."
"Mm."
Wang Shu nodded and sat on a stone bench nearby, while Zhi Xin silently moved closer as well.
"Did you gain anything from your trip to the Chiwu Star System?" He Xi asked.
"Not much, but I discovered a Life Planet with a relatively underdeveloped civilization there. I also encountered some divine lifeforms," Wang Shu said after thinking for a moment.
"Divine lifeforms? Tell me, what were they like?" He Xi became interested.
Little Angel Zhi Xin also widened her eyes, her face full of curiosity. She was incredibly envious that Wang Shu could leave Heavenly City and travel to other planets.
"First, I encountered a treant lifeform from the M788 Star System. Since Earth was unsuitable for its kind of life, it would actively devour the flesh and blood of weaker lifeforms to sustain itself.
"But when it set its sights on humans, Sister Zhui and I took action and destroyed it," Wang Shu said.
"The M788 Star System, as far as I know, lies in an extremely distant region of the Known Universe. It is tens of thousands of light-years away from Chiwu Star. How could they have appeared there?" A trace of contemplation appeared on He Xi's face.
"I don't know, but it has already been destroyed, so there's no need to fear it. Afterward, I encountered another third-generation beast-type lifeform. His strength seemed to be on par with Sister Zhui's, and he also had the ability to create clones," Wang Shu said.
"Clones? What kind of clones?" He Xi asked.
"Probably ordinary clones. They didn't possess the original body's strength, at most retaining one-tenth of it. They were nowhere near as good as your clones, Big Sister," Wang Shu praised.
Hearing this, He Xi's brows relaxed, and a smile appeared on her breathtakingly beautiful face as she said proudly:
"Of course. My clones are physical beings of flesh and blood. How could ordinary clones compare to mine?"
"Yes, yes. Big Sister is the wisest and most beautiful goddess in the entire universe. Who could possibly compare with you?" Wang Shu flattered her, his smile growing broader.
"Hehe!"
Listening to her student's praise, He Xi was delighted and could not help laughing aloud. But she quickly realized that something was off.
Her disciple looked honest and dependable, but he was actually incredibly sly!
He was being so attentive in praising her; he definitely had some ulterior motive.
So, her smile immediately faded, and she said:
"Little Shu, just say what you want to say. There's no need to flatter me against your conscience!"
Wang Shu froze for a moment, then said seriously:
"Big Sister, how could that be against my conscience? Every word came from the bottom of my heart. Heaven and earth can bear witness, the sun and moon can testify. If I'm lying, may lightning strike me down!"
"Rumble!"
A thunderclap exploded in the sky.
"..."
Wang Shu stared blankly at the clear blue sky, never expecting something like this to happen to him.
Noticing He Xi's expression gradually darkening, he hurriedly explained:
"Big Sister, this is really a misunderstanding! That thunder came at far too perfect a time, didn't it?"
"Hehe. Go on, what is it?" He Xi's expression was utterly calm.
Seeing this, Wang Shu stopped hiding anything and said directly:
"Big Sister, look, I've already learned wormholes. Now I want to learn some new skills from you!"
"Such as?" He Xi asked.
"I think cloning would be pretty good." Wang Shu wore an honest smile as he looked at He Xi expectantly.
Although He Xi had guessed that Wang Shu's enthusiastic flattery had some purpose, she truly had not expected that he wanted to learn the Clone Technique from her.
The Clone Technique was a special ability developed only in recent years.
In all of Heavenly City, no one besides her knew it. Even Kesha did not.
Within the civilizations of the Known Universe, there was no shortage of strange creatures possessing cloning abilities.
But He Xi believed that her cloning ability was unique, different from clones in the traditional sense.
They were beings of flesh and blood, even possessing intelligence, rather than some useless crowd tactic that relied on sheer numbers.
"So you want to learn cloning. This super ability was personally developed by me, and I own it.
"As my student, if you want to learn it, then naturally I can teach you."
He Xi spoke openly, without making excuses or concealing anything.
"Really?" Wang Shu's heart stirred. He had only asked casually, hoping to test the waters.
But he had never expected Pi Pi He Xi to agree so readily. It was an incredible surprise.
"Of course. Would I lie to you?" He Xi said.
"Then hurry up and teach me!" Wang Shu could not help asking.
At this moment, Little Angel Zhi Xin, who was standing nearby, silently lowered her head without saying a word.
When would she ever become as outstanding as Wang Shu?
"You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Why are you so impatient? And do you think the Clone Technique can be taught just by talking about it? Since your master said she would teach you, she definitely won't deceive you," He Xi said.
"Ah."
Wang Shu also felt that he had been too hasty and could not help chuckling sheepishly.
"Alright, let's not talk about clones for now. Your master is bored right now, so tell me a joke," He Xi said, leaning back in her chair in utter boredom.
Seeing this, Wang Shu's mouth twitched. Looking at He Xi, who resembled a salted fish, he sighed inwardly:
What kind of teacher makes her student tell jokes? She's really mischievous! And she was once a King, yet she doesn't care about her image at all?
"Tell a joke?"
Wang Shu began searching through the jokes in his mind, but he found none of them funny. They were even a little cold.
However, his eyes soon lit up, and he said:
"Big Sister, I don't have any jokes here. But during my trip to the Chiwu Star System, I brought you some gifts."
"Gifts?" He Xi raised her brows, immediately becoming more energetic as she sat up and said:
"Quick, let me see."
"Alright!"
Upon hearing that, Wang Shu responded. He stretched out his hand, and ripples spread through space as a small square wooden box fell out of a wormhole.
The wooden box was dark brown, its surface patterned with strange designs. It looked exquisitely crafted, and a faint fragrance occasionally wafted from within.
Wang Shu handed the small wooden box to He Xi with a smile and said:
"Big Sister, open it and take a look. You'll definitely like it!"
He Xi took a deep breath, a barely noticeable hint of shyness appearing on her beautiful face.
This was the first time in her life that she had received a gift from the opposite sex! And it was from her own student. Just thinking about it was so exciting.
