Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse-Chapter 936 - 539: The Sister’s True Identity? (Part 2)
Will the stone statue creatures made by Longyin’s Hand be affected by this Crystal City?
The group discussed for a while but couldn’t come to any conclusion.
"Alright, alright, let’s call it a day." Wen Guixin sniffed himself and showed a somewhat disgusted expression, "Those mutant creatures just retreated, we should be safe for a while. I need to go back and take a... Ah! There’s no water in the tree house!"
Their tree houses were currently planted next to the World Tree. Although the lake wasn’t far from here, without water being diverted over, their tree houses couldn’t use water as they pleased.
"This is really annoying..." Wang Lei said helplessly, "Should I not stay in the tree house these days and instead live in the Crystal House by the lake? Maybe living in the Crystal House has some special effects..."
"Xu Xin, any news from Wenxi?" Qi Xuefei looked at Xu Xin and asked.
"Ah, about her..."
Xu Xin told everyone about the situation he had just learned regarding Li Wenxi.
Of course, he didn’t mention Li Wenxi’s speculations about the human branch gathering place.
If this was true, it would be the information Yingying wanted to hide from them, indicating that it was not information meant to be publicized. As per Yingying’s implication at the time, if Xu Xin and the others knew the truth, it could bring disaster to them.
So he kept his mouth shut.
The group couldn’t come to a conclusion about Li Wenxi’s current situation either.
"Forget it, as long as we can confirm Wenxi’s safety, that’s enough," Wen Guixin waved his hand, "Maybe Wenxi is more comfortable than we are now."
"Your sister..." Ji Chaoyang frowned slightly, lost in thought.
"Sigh, as long as Sister Wenxi isn’t back, we feel uneasy," Zhao Xiaochuan said sorrowfully, "I’m even afraid to use the explosive bolts now, always feel like I have one less each time I use one."
The role Wenxi played in the team was indeed too significant.
"Xu Xin, if you want to look for Wenxi, you can set off anytime; we’ll protect this place," Wen Guixin patted his chest, "With me here, rest assured."
To find her...
Does it mean to use the Transmission Array to teleport back to the underground world?
That’s also an option.
"I’ll wait until the World Tree has fully grown before I look for Wenxi."
Xu Xin already had a direction, so he wasn’t in a hurry. The top priority now was to stabilize their residence.
"That’s fine too." Wen Guixin nodded, then sniffed himself again, "I can’t stand this anymore, the smell is too bad, I’m going to clean up."
Wen Guixin left, and the other survivor members also left one after another, either returning to their tree houses or discussing future plans with other survivors.
Only Xu Xin, Ji Chaoyang, and Lou Fei’Er stayed behind.
"Xu Xin, the sister you mentioned earlier, knows about your abilities and the role of the Crystal City?" Ji Chaoyang pondered as he asked Xu Xin.
"Yeah...that’s right." Xu Xin nodded, "I’m curious about that as well. But if she really is a previous survivor, knowing things we don’t isn’t surprising."
"...Perhaps, there’s another possibility," Ji Chaoyang said with a deep voice, looking at Xu Xin, "Haven’t you thought of it?"
Xu Xin fell silent.
There indeed was another possibility.
A possibility that could explain all of Xu Ying’s changes.
But that possibility was just too far-fetched...
Could it really be like that?
"What are you talking about?" Lou Fei’Er, who hadn’t left, was puzzled, "What do you mean? Isn’t Xu Xin’s sister just a previous survivor? Or are there survivors from even earlier batches?"
...
"Hey, Sis-in-law, you tell me, now that I’m actually older than my brother, should I stop calling him brother? Should I call him little brother? And you little sister-in-law? I’m older than him, and still calling him brother would be embarrassing!"
In a bustling city, two girls were strolling slowly down the street.
Nearby, peculiar vehicles passed by, leaving Li Wenxi in awe.
Both she and Xu Ying were wearing masks and sunglasses to conceal their faces.
Xu Ying’s appearance was renowned in this city. If seen by others, it might cause a tremendous uproar.
To avoid future trouble, Li Wenxi also didn’t want people here to see her face, so she hid her appearance as well.
Many people passing by on the street took extra glances at the two girls.
Even with half of their faces covered, they exuded remarkable charm and attractiveness.
Xu Ying was acquainting Li Wenxi with this city.
"Huh? Oh right... you’re a previous survivor, aren’t you? Twelve years... You are indeed older than Xu Xin," Li Wenxi said, somewhat amused, "That’s true, so you’re basically Xu Xin’s elder sister? Xu Xin probably doesn’t know yet, does he? But you look similar to me, someone who doesn’t know might think you are just about twenty."
"Hehe, right?" Xu Ying chuckled with pride.
"Uh, maybe we should just use names to address each other? Calling me sis-in-law feels weird..."
"Hmm... Wenxi?" Xu Ying tried saying it, then quickly shook her head and waved her hand, "Forget it, it doesn’t feel right, I’ll stick to calling you sis-in-law, and you should call me Yingying like my brother does."
