Chapter 127: Chapter 127: Chatting About Speculation

"Hmm, but I can’t tell you the reasons just yet," Xia Yue nodded and said.

"Your bloodline’s aura seems to be of a high caliber, but it’s not purely of the Dragon Clan’s. I don’t sense you’ve slaughtered any dragons either, it’s okay if you don’t want to talk about it," Mo Yao said, looking at her.

[I didn’t expect this planet to still have members of the Dragon Clan. Although it’s a Black Jiao transforming into a dragon, it’s quite rare.] The System said, looking at Mo Yao.

"What exactly are you that you can identify my identity?" Mo Yao sharply gazed at the System.

[I can discern a lot of things.] The System arrogantly responded.

"Feeling pretty pleased, aren’t we?" Xia Yue said coldly, noting its complacent tone.

[Not pleased.] The System immediately retorted.

"Sorry, it can be a bit mouthy at times, but you don’t have to worry about it running off at the mouth," Xia Yue told both Xia Xi and Mo Yao with a wave of her hand.

Noticing the dynamic between the System and Xia Yue, Xia Xi and Mo Yao felt oddly put at ease. They could sense that the cat was heeding Xia Yue’s instructions.

"Xia Yue, in this world, there are many cultivators just like me. Some have ill intentions. Your belongings and your own spiritual power may arouse their curiosity, so you need to be careful," Xia Xi earnestly advised Xia Yue, her tone solemn.

"I understand, thank you Xia Xi," Xia Yue nodded, thanking Xia Xi with a smile.

"No need, it’s my duty to protect you as ordered," Xia Xi replied, shaking her head.

"Have you often encountered ghosts and such in the past?" Xia Yue curiously asked Xia Xi.

"Yes, dealing with these ghosts and what-not is part of our job", Xia Xi nodded in affirmation.

"There must be numerous fascinating or bizarre stories, right?" Xia Yue pressed on with her questions.

"There are, do you want to hear about them?" Xia Xi asked, her eyes catching Xia Yue’s expectant glance.

"Absolutely, I love hearing about gossips" Xia Yue nodded eagerly.

"Okay, let me fill you in." Xia Xi said, her face breaking into a grin.

Ahem, actually, she too wanted to share some of her experiences but she had always been too aloof in front of strangers which proved to be a hindrance.

But now she had an opportunity and since Xia Yue was aware of her temperament, it seemed just perfect.

And so, Mo Yao watched Xia Xi, who was leaning closer to Xia Yue, chatting away with great gusto.

She had never realized that Xia Xi too had this side to her.

Xia Yue, enthralled by the stories of Xia Xi, kept exclaiming in surprise, causing them to break into discussions.

Mo Yao discovered that the cat, whose identity couldn’t be ascertained, was also listening intently.

And thus, they kept gossiping in this secluded corner of the courtyard for two hours until Xia Yu called in to inform them that everyone was back and it was time for dinner.

The duo stood up to leave, Mo Yao reverting back to its bracelet form and hanging around Xia Xi’s wrist.

Xia Yue, carrying the System and the Spiritual Cat, continued chatting with Xia Xi while walking.

By the time they reached the dining hall, everyone else was already seated in the living room.

After greeting the elders, both women took their seats.

"Where were you two? You seemed to be really enjoying your chat," the Auntie asked, smiling curiously.

"Hehe, we were just chatting in the courtyard," Xia Yue chuckled.

"I was asking her about some things, then we got engrossed in a conversation. We lost track of time," Xia Xi added, nodding her head.

"Wow, you two seem to be getting along splendidly," Xia Qing sarcastically remarked.
