Chapter 220: Chapter 219: Digging Your Own Grave

After hanging up Xia Yu’s call, Xia Yue called their grandfather to fill him in.

About half an hour later, she had checked in with several close relatives. As for Xia Linsong and his wife, Song Qin, Xia Yue didn’t want to get scolded, so she didn’t call them.

Finally, she made a video call to Xia Xi.

"Hello, sis." As soon as the video connected, Xia Yue greeted her with a grin.

"You’re back." Xia Xi looked at Xia Yue, surprised.

"Yes, I just returned today. I had a hot pot meal and am digesting it now." Xia Yue replied, nodding with a smile.

"I saw your live broadcast. Those people looked real. You guys didn’t really go to another world, did you?" Xia Xi found a comfortable place to sit and looked at Xia Yue on the other end of the phone.

"There are some things I can’t say too much about. Those who understand, understand." Xia Yue teased, grinning.

Xia Xi nodded thoughtfully and changed the subject.

"Was it fun?" Xia Xi asked.

"It was quite fun. The meat over there was really tasty; I’ll treat you to some when I get a chance." Xia Yue nodded, cheerfully sharing various interesting stories with her.

They chatted for two hours. If Xia Xi hadn’t suddenly had something to deal with and had to end the chat, they could’ve continued talking.

"Ah, I forgot to ask her about the Holy Maiden of Miao Region." After hanging up, Xia Yue remembered the question she had meant to ask.

[You really had a lot to talk about with her, more than you do with others.] The system looked at Xia Yue with a strange gaze.

"People can be peculiar. I find her quite easy to get along with." Xia Yue found it weird as well; she just couldn’t help but want to engage in extended conversations with Xia Xi.

[Alright, you’ve rested long enough. Time to go back to studying.] The system told her.

"Ah, no! I want to play games. I haven’t played games for more than two months. I want to take tonight off and play games." Upon hearing that she had to study again, Xia Yue immediately protested loudly.

[You won’t die if you don’t play games. If your studies fall behind, beware of losing your life.] The system said earnestly.

"Just one night, just one night, let me have a night off." Xia Yue pleaded with the system. She wasn’t a fan of studying in general. When she was in the other world without internet, she studied to pass the time.

Now that she was back, she was itching to play a few games and do things like read novels.

[No, you can’t slack off. If you’re lazy today, you’ll undoubtedly want to be lazy tomorrow. You must continue today.] The system flatly denied her request.

Seeing that she still wanted to be uncooperative, the system fixed her with a gaze:

[Of course, if you can persuade Dragon Lord Ao Ye, ignore what I said. You can play however you want, I won’t interfere.]

Upon hearing Dragon Lord Ao Ye’s name mentioned, Xia Yue was reminded of his cold, merciless face and the homework assignments he had given. She couldn’t help but shudder.

"You’re harsh, hmmph." Xia Yue glared at the system, huffing in indignation.

[What use is huffing at me? If you have the guts, huff at Dragon Lord Ao Ye.] The system couldn’t help but taunt her.

Xia Yue rolled her eyes, thinking to herself, she dares not. If she really did that, she’d probably get even more homework, and wouldn’t that be asking for trouble.

This system really just loves digging holes for her.
