Chapter 44: Chapter 44 Temporary Replacement

"Of course. We Xia family don’t cause trouble, but we’re not afraid to face it either. If they dare to disrespect us, don’t hold back. I’ll take care of any aftermath," Xia Yu nodded.

He felt a sense of pride seeing his sister stand up for herself. Seeing how Yueyue was ridiculed by those cretins and always reacted calmly without any rebuttal used to pain him. Now that she could fight back, he fully supported it.

"Thank you, Brother, I know how to act." Xia Xi nodded, then asked, "Brother, are you going to invite Xia Yue to the banquet?"

"She can’t come back now, and it wouldn’t be appropriate for her to. If I were to put it kindly, she has a ’Buddha-like’ personality. If I’m blunt, you could say she’s timid. She doesn’t get along well with the youngsters from other families. If she came, she would be ridiculed and bullied," Xia Yu shook his head.

"Oh, it’s better if she doesn’t come then. Are those people so difficult to get along with?" Xia Xi agreed, continuing her line of questioning.

"Perhaps Yueyue isn’t really fond of interacting with strangers. Her friends, from childhood to this day, have always been kind of temporary. She’s closer to our family, but she expects the same level of attention in return. If there isn’t, she just treats them as regular acquaintances," Xia Yu explained.

Xia Xi nodded in understanding.

Soon after playing with Xia Yu, Xia Yue began playing games.

The next morning, Xia Yue went to look at the strawberry plant she was curious about. When she arrived, Professor Hao and two students were there, observing it.

"Hello, Professor Hao." Xia Yue greeted them cheerfully.

"Ah it’s Xiaoyue, good morning," Although it was already 10 a.m., Professor Hao was well aware that the holiday villa owner was not very hands-on, so he didn’t mind and greeted her back cheerfully.

"Professor Hao, how is the strawberry plant doing?" Xia Yue asked.

"It’s growing well and showing no signs of wilting." The reason Professor Hao was still there was due to the remarkable phenomenon he was observing.

The strawberry plant hadn’t wilted but had grown a few centimeters, showing strong vitality.

"That’s great! I heard these strawberries are delicious. I can’t wait to taste them," Xia Yue said with delight.

"Hahaha, we’re also curious about what the grown strawberries will taste like," Professor Hao laughed.

"You keep observing then, I’ll go take a look around elsewhere," Xia Yue replied with a chuckle.

"Alright." Professor Hao nodded.

Xia Yue then headed towards the seaside. Suddenly, she remembered that she could transform into a semi-dragon form and swim without fear of drowning.

After all, she had the bloodline of a Koi fish in her.

Upon reaching the seaside, she saw many tents not far away. She guessed that these likely belonged to the first batch of teams to come and activate their energy.

She deliberately chose a stretch of beach a little further away from them.

She had intentionally dressed in shorts and a t-shirt to come to the beach. As she was about to enter the water in her dragon form, she found that she was a bit scared of being alone and wished for someone’s company.

Then she thought of the system which she had angered the previous night. It hadn’t spoken since then.

"System? Are you there, System? System?" Xia Yue called out to the system several times in her mind.

[Dear Host, hello. I am System 001, temporarily replacing System 5129 to answer any of your questions.]

Unexpectedly, the response came in an emotionless electronic voice. It was similar to the voice when she first met the system. But it had been a long time since the system had used such an emotionless tone.
