Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse-Chapter 933 - 538: Li Wenxi’s Ordeal (2)

It seems that the impact of the Crystal City has indeed drained them mentally and physically.

"Where’s Keke?" He glanced around.

Has that little guy disappeared again?

"Yip!" At this moment, Keke crawled out from a window of a crystal building, ran over to Xu Xin, and climbed onto his shoulder.

Was the little guy just inside the crystal house talking with those mutant creatures?

"Alright, there’s no danger here now, let’s head back first."

...

In an opulently decorated bedroom.

Li Wenxi lay on a bed large enough to sleep four or five people, staring blankly at the ceiling.

"Xu Xin... how are they doing now..." she murmured, "Ugh... if I had known this would happen, I..."

At this moment, there was a knock on the bedroom door.

"Sister-in-law, it’s me." Xu Ying’s voice came from outside the door.

Li Wenxi didn’t bother to get up from the bed: "Come in, the door isn’t locked."

The doorknob turned, and the solid wood door slowly opened a crack. Xu Ying cautiously peeked in, saw Li Wenxi lying on the bed, immediately slipped inside, and closed the door behind her.

"Um, sister-in-law, don’t be mad..."

"Hmm? I’m not mad."

"You’re clearly mad, you’re always like this when you’re mad..." Xu Ying mumbled.

Li Wenxi turned her head to look at her: "You’ve seen what I’m like when I’m mad?"

"Hmm?" Xu Ying blinked, "Isn’t this seeing it now?"

"...If you find a way for me to go back, I won’t be mad."

"That’s really not possible, sister-in-law!" Xu Ying sat on the edge of Li Wenxi’s bed, explaining with a bitter face, "I told you, you’re different from me, you haven’t fully escaped control yet. If you go out, those alien bastards will track your movements to this location! Then we’ll all be doomed..."

Li Wenxi sat up, glaring at her, "So why didn’t you say anything when you brought me here!"

"Ugh... if I had told you, you definitely wouldn’t have come..." Xu Ying looked aggrieved, shaking Li Wenxi’s arm twice, "Don’t be mad, sister-in-law. I’ve given you the best treatment here, you eat and live better here than I do."

Seeing Xu Ying like this, Li Wenxi really couldn’t get angry.

Xu Xin’s sister, Xu Ying, from her appearance, you could indeed see Xu Xin’s shadow in her.

Moreover, her personality was quite sociable. She spoke to her like an acquaintance when they just met, feeling much more outgoing than herself.

If this were an ordinary world with ordinary life, a girl with such a personality should quickly become a great friend of hers.

Actually, that’s also true now. Even though they had met less than a day ago, Li Wenxi felt this girl knew her like a lifelong friend, using various means to trick her here, making it hard for her to get mad.

"Oh, right, sister-in-law, this time when I went up, not only did I give him your Crystal Stone, but I also used your watch to contact my brother!" Xu Ying quickly changed the subject.

"...You’ve already been up there?" Li Wenxi was immediately drawn in, surprised, "So soon? I thought you were just preparing to set out!"

"Nope, for me, going up is easy. Once I find a way to solve your current problem, you’ll also be able to return to the surface, sister-in-law!"

Xu Ying’s constant calling her sister-in-law was somewhat pleasing to Li Wenxi.

"So? What’s the situation with Xu Xin?" Li Wenxi asked eagerly.

"Well, it’s like this..." Xu Ying told Li Wenxi about her experiences on the surface without holding back.

She felt somewhat guilty about tricking Li Wenxi into coming here, so she was willing to do whatever she could to satisfy her, which is why she risked taking the news to Xu Xin.

"I see..." Li Wenxi sighed in relief after hearing this, "Is the function of that Crystal City really that powerful? That’s good; I was just afraid that without my resources, they wouldn’t even be able to protect themselves..."

Saying this, she glared at Xu Ying again, a bit annoyed.

"How could I not consider that!" Xu Ying immediately protested, "I’ve been holding on until now, just waiting for Xu Xin to discover the Crystal City so that even if you leave, it wouldn’t affect them much. Only then did I bring you back! How could I want my brother and them to die!"

"So, can you tell me now why you know so much? If you don’t, don’t expect me to help you."

Saying this, Li Wenxi got out of bed, walked over to the window, and looked outside.

Despite having seen the view outside many times, each time it still made her pupils tremble.

She was now residing in a five-story villa, and her bedroom was on the third floor of the villa.

The villa’s yard was large, planted with various ornamental flowers and plants, with a swimming pool, gazebo, and other facilities.

A very high-class residence.

She looked up and forward.

It was a scene both familiar and strange to her.

In the distance, towering skyscrapers and ultra-modern elevated highways made her almost believe she’d returned to her original world.

If not for looking up and seeing not the sky, but a piece of Crystal Stone glowing with a translucent white light, she would truly believe she had returned to her original world.
