Chapter 144: Chapter 144 Chat

Xia Yue had no choice but to hand her smartphone over to her cats. After all, they were watching in silence, so it didn’t bother anyone else.

"Your cat can watch videos on a smartphone?" The old Mr. Lin asked curiously when he saw Xia Yue handing her smartphone to her cat.

"Yes, they even watch with gusto," Xia Yue nodded.

"What are they watching? They seem so engrossed," Old Mr. Qin asked as he observed the two cats glued to the phone screen..

"Sentimental family dramas," Xia Yue admitted with slight embarrassment.

Upon hearing this, there was a moment of silence.

"Your cat is quite something," Old Mr. Han said, his tone laced with a hint of incredulity.

"Oh, it’s nothing," Xia Yue replied with a laugh.

Afterward, the old timers got involved in their own conversation without paying much attention to Xia Yue and Xia Xi.

They reminisced about the carefree days of their past and expressed their astonishment at how life had changed.

Seeing Xia Yue’s boredom, Xia Xi handed over her own smartphone for her to play with.

"Aren’t you going to play with it?" Xia Yue curiously asked as Xia Xi handed her the unlocked phone.

"No, you play. You look bored," Xia Xi said, shaking her head.

"Aren’t you bored?" Xia Yue asked her.

"I’m chatting with Mo Yao about matters of cultivation, so I’m not bored," Xia Xi responded with an indifferent smile.

"What’s so exciting about discussing cultivation? Sounds so boring," Xia Yue said as she took the phone and immediately started playing a small game.

"If you find it boring, then why do you have spiritual power?" Xia Xi asked, puzzled.

Xia Yue raised her head to look at her, chuckled and said: "That’s a secret for now. But cultivation is seriously boring."

[You find it boring now, but you will regret it when you encounter danger in the future.] The system in her head couldn’t help but retort.

"Fortune favors the righteous. I don’t think I’m going to die that easily," Xia Yue retorted.

[Indeed, it’s not easy to die. But aren’t you afraid of ending up half dead?] The system retorted, its tone seemingly teasing her.

"I believe that if I were really in danger, you would be more anxious than me, and would help me figure a way out," Xia Yue said, looking down at the system.

The system just rolled its eyes at her, and continued watching its drama.

"What are you two whispering about?" Old Mr. Xia asked as he saw them chatting softly.

"Nothing really, Xia Xi gave me her phone to play with when she saw that I was bored. My phone is busy being used as a TV by my cat," Xia Yue said, smiling.

"Xia Xi has good self-discipline, you should learn from her. Young people nowadays can’t seem to separate themselves from their phones. They feel anxious if they can’t look at it every second. Even children are the same. My little grandson is, he wants to look at the phone while eating, when he hasn’t finished his homework, if the phone is taken away from him, he starts crying, no amount of cajoling works, only when he gets the phone back does he calm down," Old Mr. Han said with a disappointed look on his face.

"Didn’t we also like to play with phones when we were younger? They just have more options now," Old Mr. Lin laughed.

"Old Han, isn’t your eyeglasses because you looked at the phones too much, haha," Old Mr. Qin laughed at Old Mr. Han.

"I was reading books back then, you brute!" Old Mr. Han retorted.

"Bookworm!" Old Mr. Qin shot back.

"By the way, did you know that there’s some unrest in the Qu Family lately? Old Man Qu seems to be ill," Mrs. Mu said to them.
