Chapter 555 The Reason for Xu Ying's Existence(1/2)

So, what did you do here fifty years ago?" Li Wenxi and Xu Ying asked at the same time as they walked outside the city.

"More than fifty years ago. Actually, for me, it's only been a few days since I left here." Xu Ying looked around, "For me, three days ago I was still over fifty years old.

What about the world before?"

"Alas..." Li Wenxi sighed, "This is really a novel feeling..."

"What's so new?" Xu Ying kicked the pebbles away from her feet, "Not long ago you were in a world a thousand years ago."

"...Ah, that's right."

The two of them were on the other side of the city, in the wilderness.

If it were on the ground, this kind of place would not be a good place in the middle of the night. In total darkness, this wilderness must be full of dangers and frightening.

But in this underground world, even at this point in time, it is still bright under the illumination of the dome crystal.

Li Wenxi and Li Wenxi seemed as casual as if they were on an outing in the countryside.

"Actually, I don't know what important things happened here more than fifty years ago. I spent most of my time playing around in the city..."

"Ah? Playing?"

"Well... because it's my brother who does all the things like joining forces and cooperating with the forces here." Xu Ying explained, "He has no intention of letting me get involved, and I'm not interested either.

So we hit it off right away.”

"Ah..." Li Wenxi was speechless, "Well, then you basically didn't participate in your plan."

"Of course I participated!" Xu Ying defended herself, "I said I was playing, but in fact my mission was to check the changes in the people of this underground human stronghold!"

"I didn't just travel around this city. When my brother and those forces didn't know what they were doing, I visited various cities here and visited almost every representative city."

"Oh..." Li Wenxi understood and couldn't help but laugh, "That means you have traveled to many cities in this underground base."

"Why does this statement feel wrong? I should have inspected it in many cities!" Xu Ying corrected, "More than that, my brother will tell me the situation there every time, even the situation of various underground forces.

, I can be considered the second insider.”

"Then, how do you know the current head of the Wei family?" Li Wenxi asked curiously, "Don't you have a good relationship with him?"

"Of course, because fifty years ago, he was the one who accompanied me to inspect the human base. At that time, he was not the head of the family, and I was considered an important guest, so he was responsible for my safety."

Xu Ying said, ran into the low bushes, and picked wild fruits in the low bushes.

"Ah, that means you two have traveled together for a long time and visited many cities?"

Li Wenxi's eyes lit up, she was very interested in this topic, and she quickly asked: "Did anything happen between you two? It's like..."

"ah?"

Xu Ying grabbed a handful of picked small red fruits, turned around and walked towards Li Wenxi, with an expression of "How is that possible?": "What can happen to the two of us? I won't stay at a certain time for long.

How could you be interested in someone at that time?"...

"You're really not interested?" Li Wenxi expressed doubt, "Then you still let him follow you?"

"Of course I'm not interested anymore. I keep letting him follow me because he is a tour guide!" Xu Ying shrugged, "For example, if you go to a place to travel, you won't stay there for long. What will happen to your tour guide?

What does it feel like to be in love? Even if the tour guide is very handsome, you don’t know it.”

"Not living together?"

"What are you living with?" Xu Ying glared at Li Wenxi, "Sister-in-law, don't you already have something going on with my brother?"

"Well..." Li Wenxi blushed.

"Ah?" Xu Ying was a little dumbfounded, "

All in all...how long have you known each other? Was my brother this kind of person before..."

"What are you talking about about me? Let's get back to the point! Judging from the old man's current appearance and his granddaughter, he was also very handsome back then, right?"

Li Wenxi pictured Wei Bai's appearance in her mind and guessed.

"Well, how should I put it, he is indeed a bit handsome, but he is not as good as my brother."

Xu Ying handed half of the picked wild fruit to Li Wenxi: "If I find a man who is not as good as my brother, then he will laugh me to death and I will not be able to hold my head up in front of him. I have nothing to do with that guy.

It’s just my interest. But I’m just a good friend.”

"They are just good friends." Li Wenxi took the wild fruit, "What is this?"

"This is a wild fruit that is a specialty here. I ate it when I came here last time. Weibo told me about it. I had never seen it before. It tastes very good. Try it."

Li Wenxi looked at the small red fruit in her hand.

It feels like red berries on the ground, but they are much smaller than the red berries, and the red ones are a little purple.

Is it a specialized underground fruit? It seems to taste good, and the color looks like a very sweet cherry.

She stuffed the fruit into her mouth and bit it with her teeth.

The small fruit has a high water content, and the juice bursts in your mouth instantly.

but……

"Ugh! Ah... Bah, bah, bah!" Li Wenxi spit out the fruit in her mouth instantly, sticking out her tongue, tears were about to come out, "It's so... so bitter! Bah, bah!"

"Bitter? That's impossible, right?" Xu Ying also ate one and immediately spat it out, "Bah! Wow, what does this taste like! Why is it so bitter!"

"You picked the wrong thing..." Li Wenxi grimaced, feeling that her mouth was full of bitterness and a fishy rusty feeling, "What does this taste like..."

"No, that's it. I was... two days ago..." Xu Ying felt a little strange, "What's going on?...Forget it, maybe this one is just bad."

Xu Ying threw away the red fruit in her hand: "Have you found any minerals here, sister-in-law?"

"Well... there is one there." Li Wenxi pointed to a factory not far away, "But it has been discovered there and is being mined, right? There is nothing else."

"It seems that there are no minerals around here. We need to go further afield to take a look."

Relying on Xu Ying's teleportation ability, the two of them had basically looked around the city, but except for the mining point on the dome they initially discovered, they couldn't find it anywhere else.

But it's normal. This is the core hinterland of human survival area. It has been developed for thousands of years. Even if there are any resources, they have been explored long ago...

"Oh, I don't want to move anymore. It's time to rest at this time, otherwise we should go back." Xu Ying wanted to be lazy, "Only when you have enough rest can you face tomorrow."

"You are really..." Li Wenxi was helpless, "You are over 300 years old, why are you still acting like a child?"

"What? I'm still a child."

Xu Ying tore off a leaf from a branch and said while tearing it: "Even though I have lived for more than three hundred years, in terms of my lifespan, three hundred years is nothing at all. My body and mentality are very fragile."

Isn’t it normal to be young?”

"Huh? But you..."

No matter what kind of creature, its maturity is judged by its lifespan.

The lifespan of a cat is only ten years, so a cat that is one or two years old already has all the abilities of a cat. It can jump up and down, hunt and reproduce, and reproduce.

However, as humans are more advanced and intelligent creatures than cats, the survival ability of humans who are both one year old is far worse than that of cats, and they are far from mature.

The longer one lives, the later one matures, not only physically but also mentally.

A twenty-year-old cat is an old cat with invincible longevity, but a twenty-year-old human thinks that he is very young from the bottom of his heart, so naturally he will not show any old-fashioned attitude.

"So, it's the same for me,

I'm only over 300 years old, so I'm still very young." Xu Ying explained with a smile.

"Ah this..."

Li Wenxi finally understood why she was still like this even though she was hundreds of years old.

She looked at Xu Ying like a three-year-old cat looking at a twenty-year-old human.

Very old?

It's very big. For a cat, it's really unimaginably big.

But for humans, they are still young.

So Xu Ying still treats herself as a child!

"But you're not..." Li Wenxi hesitated and did not say what she was thinking at this time.

"You want to say, I'm afraid I won't live long, right?" Xu Ying looked at her and pursed her lips.

"I did not mean that……"

"Okay, this is the truth."

Xu Ying's eyes dimmed slightly, but she quickly returned to normal: "I really can't stay in this world for long, because I don't belong to this world. Now I'm just playing hide and seek in this world."

"But at least now, I won't leave this world. Brother... he has really made a lot of efforts to allow me to stay longer."

Li Wenxi opened her eyes wide: "The fact that you can still move around in this world now has something to do with your brother?"

"Of course, I have done a lot of things."

At this point, she bit her lip.

"For example, I left the future that was about to collapse early, but was the last to arrive in the past. I experienced a long period of time less than those people, and missed a lot of things. I was really angry at that time.
