"You must have picked the wrong one..." Li Wenxi said with a bitter face. His mouth was filled with bitterness and a fishy, ​​rusty taste. "What's that smell..."

"No, it's this one. I was looking at it a few days ago..." Xu Ying felt a little strange. "What's going on?... Never mind. Maybe this one is just rotten."

Xu Ying threw away the red fruit in her hand and asked, "Have you discovered any minerals here, sister-in-law?"

"Hmm... there is one over there." Li Wenxi pointed to a factory not far away. "But it's been discovered. They're mining right now, right? There are no other ones."

"It seems that there are no more minerals nearby. We need to look somewhere farther away."

Relying on Xu Ying's teleportation ability, the two have basically traveled around the city, but apart from the mining point on the dome that they initially discovered, they can't find any other place.

But it's normal. This is the core hinterland of the human living area. It has been developed for thousands of years. Even if there are any resources, they have been explored long ago.

[A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old version of the source-changing app used by bug hunters, Huanyuanapp.]

"Oh, I don't feel like moving anymore. It's time to rest now. Otherwise, let's go back." Xu Ying wanted to be lazy. "Only after a good rest can we face tomorrow."

"You really are..." Li Wenxi was helpless. "You're already over three hundred years old, why are you still acting like a child?"

"What? I'm still a child."

Xu Ying ripped a leaf off a branch, saying as she tore it off: "Even though I've lived for over three hundred years, it's nothing compared to my lifespan. My body and mind are both very young, so isn't that normal?"

"Ah? But you..."

Regardless of the creature, maturity is determined by its lifespan.

The lifespan of a cat is only a dozen years, so a cat at one or two years old already has all the abilities of a cat, such as being able to jump around, hunt, and reproduce.

However, humans are much more advanced and intelligent creatures than cats. However, the survival ability of humans at the same age is much worse than that of cats, and they are far from mature.

The longer you live, the later you mature, not only physically but also mentally.

A twenty-year-old cat is an extremely long-lived old cat, but a twenty-year-old human thinks of himself as very young in his heart, and naturally will not show any old-fashioned attitude.

"So, it's the same for me. I'm only over 300 years old and still very young." Xu Ying explained with a smile.

“Ah, this…”

Li Wenxi finally understood why she was like this even though she was hundreds of years old.

She looked at Xu Ying as if a three-year-old cat was looking at a twenty-year-old human.

Are you very old?

It is very big, indeed unimaginable for a cat.

But for humans, they are still young.

So Xu Ying still treats herself as a child!

"But you are not..." Li Wenxi hesitated and did not say what he was thinking at the moment.

"You mean to say that I probably won't live long, right?" Xu Ying looked at her and pursed her lips.

"I did not mean that……"

"Well, that's the truth."

Xu Ying's eyes dimmed slightly, but soon returned to normal: "I really can't stay in this world for long, because I don't belong to this world. Right now, I'm just playing hide-and-seek with this world."

"But at least now, I'm not going to leave this world. My brother...has really made a lot of efforts to allow me to stay longer."

Li Wenxi's eyes widened. "Is your continued existence in this world related to your brother?"

"Of course, brother has done a lot of things."

Having said that, she bit her lip.

"For example, they let me leave that collapsing future early, but I was the last one to arrive in the past. This made me experience less time than those people and miss out on a lot of things. It really pissed me off at the time!"

"For example, they almost never let me participate in any research related to behemoths or anything related to changing history. They even kicked me out of the institute and made me live like an ordinary person for several years in that era, thus deceiving the world's perception of me."

"For example, he teleported the teenage Xu Ying to a more distant future, rather than to this point in time with you, so that there wouldn't be two of me at this point in time, allowing me to continue to exist here."

Xu Ying gritted her teeth: "That bastard brother, he planned to make me stay from the beginning!"

Li Wenxi was speechless.

She didn't quite understand, but she could feel Xu Xin's efforts.

His efforts were successful. Xu Ying has indeed been fine until now, and there is no longer any chaos in the time and space around her body.

Apart from being able to use time and space abilities, he is almost no different from an ordinary person.

"Wait a minute, that means the reason why your brother rarely takes you to participate in serious matters in this underground world is also because..." Li Wenxi seemed to be thinking about something.

"Ahh, that's right!"

Xu Ying kicked a big rock on the side of the road. With a "click" sound, her seemingly weak little feet kicked a big hole and a crack in the rock.

She said bitterly, "It wasn't until he disappeared that I realized he hadn't let me truly participate in these things. He was probably afraid that I would be affected in this regard. Asshole brother, if you want to stay, then stay by yourself! Just leave me here alone..."
