Chapter 711: Chapter 697: Candidness

Xia Yue greeted Xia Yu with a playful smile on her face

Standing beside her, Xia Xi smiled and greeted: "Big brother, good morning."

Xia Yu had been thinking about the meeting he was going to have later, but when he heard the ringtone of his cellphone, and saw it was Xia Xi calling, he checked the time, thought for a moment, and decisively answered the phone. He sent a message to his secretary on the computer to postpone the meeting.

"Have you guys returned? Did you get hurt at all? Are you feeling any discomfort in your bodies?" Xia Yu had watched Xia Yue and Xia Xi’s livestream in the Different World, and he was quite worried about their health considering the environment there.

"No, we’re all good. We came back yesterday, talked with Grandpa and Grandma for a bit, and because we were too exhausted, we went to rest and didn’t get the chance to tell you," Xia Yue immediately shook her head and said.

"As long as you’re okay. Next time, don’t go to such filthy places to shoot. Our family can certainly afford to keep you—not to mention that the previous locations were okay to deal with, but the place you went this time, how dirty it was, even the water was black." Xia Yu still looked at them seriously and said, truly not knowing how they could have endured that environment.

"Big brother, big brother, calm down, we’re really fine. Look, aren’t we doing well?" Seeing that he was about to launch into a long lecture, Xia Yue hurriedly cut in to explain and interrupt him.

Watching her expression, Xia Yu knew she thought he was nagging again.

He really did have a bit of a headache about these two younger sisters; they were too far away to manage.

"Big brother, how have you been recently? Is work going smoothly? Have you encountered any difficulties? Have mom and dad, Auntie, and others been nagging you about getting married? Minmin from our cousin’s family is already four or five years old. I’ve seen mom and dad eyeing her jealously for quite some time; they also want to hold their own grandchildren." Xia Xi looked at Xia Yu and asked, every sentence hitting its mark.

"Have you been on any blind dates recently?" Xia Yue immediately looked at him with a gossipy gaze. In the past, he had attempted a few times but with no success. Either he didn’t like the other party for being too spoiled or the other party found fault with his straightforward personality, always working and not having a romantic bone in his body.

"Let’s talk about your situation now, we can talk about mine later." Xia Yu said with a stern face. Before it was just one sister asking him about this, now there was another, and so bluntly, it really wasn’t cute at all.

"We’re back now and doing just fine," Xia Xi said calmly.

"I don’t object to you participating in live variety shows, but don’t go to such dirty and disorderly places anymore. Can’t you shoot at better places?" Xia Yu looked at them and said, really not understanding why they chose to shoot at such unpleasant locations.

"Big brother, is it possible that the places we went to actually exist, just not in the same plane as us?" Xia Yue thought, with Spiritual Qi soon to resurface and an increasing number of ordinary people starting to cultivate. As her big brother, she thought it wouldn’t hurt to give him a heads up. They were family, after all, and a little special treatment wasn’t a bad thing.

"Have you been reading too many novels again and started fantasizing?" Xia Yu knew Xia Yue liked novels; she had previously talked to him about if the world changed in this way or that.

Seeing him not believing, Xia Yue went to close the doors and windows of the Conference Room and then returned in front of the video.

In front of him, she transformed into a mermaid.

Watching Xia Yue’s hair turn into a golden-red color and her legs merge into a golden-red fishtail, Xia Yu was stunned on the spot.

His heart felt like it had stopped for a second, and his breathing seemed to halt for about three seconds.

"Yueyue, how did you turn into this? Has someone done an experiment on you?" All sorts of human experimentation scenarios flashed through Xia Yu’s mind.

"Big brother, big brother, don’t panic. I transformed myself; nobody performed any human experiments on me." Xia Yue hurriedly explained.

"Transformed? How can a person turn into a mermaid? Are you kidding me?" Xia Yu looked disbelieving, and his voice involuntarily rose several decibels.

"It’s true, I transformed. Wait a second, I’ll show you my other form." Seeing him not believe, Xia Yue transformed into a Golden Dragon in front of him.

"A dragon?" Xia Yu’s eyes widened as he watched Xia Yue, who had a human form just a moment ago, turn into a small dragon. He then glanced at Xia Xi, who was unchanged, finally believing that what he was witnessing was real.

"Big brother, don’t doubt it anymore. Xia Yue really can transform like this; the world is going to change," Xia Xi said, looking at the shocked Xia Yu.

"How is that possible? Dragons really exist in this world?" Xia Yu was so astounded by Xia Yue’s dragon form that he was nearly incoherent.

Xia Yue reverted to her human form, smiling and saying, "Big brother, those places we went to really exist. Our world’s Spiritual Qi is slowly reviving, and soon even more people will begin to cultivate.

In the future, we’ll be going to places that can be very dangerous. To keep you from worrying, I wanted to tell you in advance. Just don’t let anyone else know, including our family," Xia Yue said, looking at Xia Yu.

"Got it, I won’t tell anyone." Xia Yu, young as he was to be managing the entire company, wasn’t someone who couldn’t grasp the importance of a situation; of course, he understood the significance of what Xia Yue was saying.

Then he thought of how they were looking after the company, and after him,

"Do they know about your ability? Were the things in that Resort Area brought from another world?

Did you collaborate with them of your own will?" Xia Yu finished the last question, looking at Xia Yue anxiously, prepared to figure out a way to rescue her if she was doing this against her will.

"It was voluntary. I approached them first. As long as they’re around, unless I want to destroy the world or the country, they will protect my personal safety," Xia Yue knew what he meant and immediately responded.

"As long as it was voluntary." Xia Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Telling me about this, there won’t be any repercussions, will there?" Xia Yu asked, eyeing them.

"As long as you don’t tell anyone else, it should be fine. I imagine it won’t be long before most people will know," Xia Yue shook her head and said.

The System had mentioned before that several places would have an explosive surge of Spiritual Qi, and that it’s likely some people or animals and plants would awaken, leading to an increase in beings capable of cultivation.

Letting Xia Yu know a bit was also for the best, to ensure he wouldn’t be caught off guard by things that couldn’t be explained by science.

"Big brother, if you encounter anything strange, like someone breathing fire, spewing water, or growing a tail, wings, and the like, don’t worry. If possible, have them look for Policemen or other relevant authorities. These departments will register them and teach them how to control and use their abilities," Xia Xi thought for a moment and said to Xia Yu.

"I understand. I guess it’s unlikely for me to encounter such things; I’m either at the office every day or at home," Xia Yu nodded, feeling that his own chances of encountering such events were slim.
