"So, what exactly did you do here fifty years ago?" Li Wenxi and Xu Ying asked at the same time as they walked out of the city together.

"More than fifty years ago. Actually, for me, it's only been a few days since I left here." Xu Ying looked around. "For me, three days ago, I was still in the world of more than fifty years ago."

"Sigh..." Li Wenxi sighed, "This is truly a novel feeling..."

"What's so surprising?" Xu Ying kicked the stones away. "Not long ago, you were still in a world thousands of years ago."

“…Ah, that’s true.”

The two were now on the other side of the city, in the wilderness.

If it were on the ground, in the middle of the night, this place would not be a good place. In the pitch black, this desolate wilderness must be full of dangers and terrifying.

But in this underground world, even at this point in time, it is still bright under the illumination of the dome crystal.

Li Wenxi and the other person acted as casually as if they were on a picnic in the suburbs.

"Actually, I don't really know what important events happened here more than fifty years ago. I spent most of my time playing around in the city..."

"Ah? Play?"

"Well... because my brother was the one who handled all the alliances and collaborations with the forces here," Xu Ying explained. "He didn't intend for me to get involved, and I wasn't interested either, so we just hit it off."

"Ah..." Li Wenxi was speechless. "Is that so? Then you basically had no involvement in your plan."

"Of course I participated!" Xu Ying defended herself. "I said I was just playing, but in reality, my mission was to observe the changes in the civilian population of this underground human stronghold!"

"I haven't just been around this city. While my brother and those forces were doing something unknown, I actually visited various cities here. I've been to almost every representative city."

"Oh..." Li Wenxi understood and couldn't help laughing. "So you've traveled to many cities in this underground base."

"That doesn't sound right. He must have inspected many cities!" Xu Ying corrected her. "Not only that, my brother always tells me what's going on over there. Even when it comes to the underground forces, I'm the second-best person to know."

"So, how did you get to know the current head of the Wei family?" Li Wenxi asked curiously, "Aren't you close to him?"

"Of course, because fifty years ago, he was the one who accompanied me on my inspection of the human bases. He wasn't the head of the family at the time, and since I was considered an important guest, he was responsible for my safety."

As Xu Ying spoke, she ran into the low bushes and started picking wild fruits from the bushes.

"Ah, so you two traveled together for a long time, visiting many cities?"

Li Wenxi's eyes lit up. This topic was of great interest to her. She hurriedly asked, "Did anything happen between you two? It's like..."

"ah?"

Xu Ying grabbed a handful of small red fruits she had picked and turned to walk towards Li Wenxi with an expression that said, "How could this be possible?" "What could possibly happen between us? I won't stay at a certain point in time for very long, so how could I possibly be interested in someone at that point in time?"

"You're really not interested?" Li Wenxi expressed doubt. "Then why did you let him follow you?"

"Of course I'm not interested. I let him follow me because he's my tour guide!" Xu Ying shrugged. "For example, if you're traveling somewhere and you don't stay there for long, would you develop romantic feelings for your tour guide? Even if he's very handsome, wouldn't you?"

"No cohabitation?"

"Living together? Living together!" Xu Ying glared at Li Wenxi. "Sister-in-law, are you and my brother having any issues?"

"Hmm..." Li Wenxi's face turned red.

"Ah?" Xu Ying was a little dumbfounded. "Come to think of it...how long have you known each other? Was my brother this kind of person before..."

"Why are you talking about me? Let's get back to the point! Judging from the old man's current appearance and his granddaughter, he must have been quite handsome back then, right?"

Li Wenxi imagined what Wei Bai looked like back then and guessed.

"Well, how should I put it, he's quite handsome indeed, but not as good as my brother."

Xu Ying handed half of the wild fruit she had picked to Li Wenxi. "If I found a man who was worse than my brother, he would laugh at me to death. I wouldn't be able to hold my head up in front of him. I don't have any interest in that guy. But he's a very good friend."

"We're just good friends." Li Wenxi took the wild fruit. "What is this?"

"It's a wild fruit that's a specialty of this place. I ate it the last time I came here. It was Wei Bo who told me about it. I had never even seen it before. It tastes very good. Try it."

Li Wenxi looked at the small red fruit in his hand.

It feels like red berries on the ground, but is much smaller than red berries, and its red color is a little purple.

Is this a specialized fruit grown underground? It looks delicious, and the color is a bit like a sweet cherry.

She put the fruit into her mouth and bit it.

The small fruit has a high water content and the juice bursts in your mouth instantly.

but……

"Ugh! Ah... Pah! Pah! Pah!" Li Wenxi instantly spat out the fruit in her mouth, sticking out her tongue, tears on the verge of flowing. "So... so bitter! Pah! Pah!"

"Bitter? Impossible?" Xu Ying also ate one and immediately spat it out. "Pooh! Wow, what does that taste like? Why is it so bitter?"
