City: Start practicing Chinese martial arts

Elsewhere, Xia Linxi and her parents were attending a family gathering. The atmosphere was warm and joyful, filled with laughter and joy. Xia Linxi sat with her family, enjoying this rare moment of reunion.

At this moment, Xia Linxi's mother, Lin Xiaoying, saw Xia Linxi hang up the phone and asked her curiously, "Is it Xiaotian calling?"

Hearing her mother's words, Xia Linxi nodded shyly and said, "Yes."

Hearing Lin Tian's name, Chen Yichuan's mother immediately turned to look at Lin Xiaoying and asked curiously, "Sister, Lin Tian is Xiaoxi's boyfriend, right?"

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoying smiled and nodded, and said: "Xiaotian is indeed Xiaoxi's boyfriend."

When the people around heard Lin Xiaoying's affirmative answer, they all showed surprised expressions and said in unison: "What! Xiaoxi actually has a boyfriend."

One of the relatives excitedly grabbed Lin Xiaoying's hand and asked anxiously, "How is the situation at that person's home?"

Another relative, not to be outdone, quickly asked, "How old is that person?"

Others, eager to know more information, hurriedly asked, "How are that person's academic performance?"

Everyone asked questions at once, as if filled with endless curiosity and anticipation about Xia Linxi's love life. After all, Xia Linxi was the pride of their family, so they were definitely concerned.

Faced with the questions raised by these relatives, Xia Linxi's mother selected some of the questions to answer, and she just perfunctorily answered the questions involving some private matters.

Seeing this, Xia Linxi quietly stood up from her seat and moved cautiously towards the door. The woman sitting next to her, slightly older than Xia Linxi and with a sweet face, noticed her actions and followed her out of the room.

As soon as she stepped out of the room, Xia Linxi suddenly turned around to look at the person behind her and asked, "Sister Xu Lai, why did you follow me out?"

Hearing this, Xu Lai smiled and responded gently, "There's no particular reason, is there? I just felt a little uneasy seeing you walk out alone. After all, Grandpa warned us yesterday that there might be some danger outside the village. So when I saw you leaving alone, I couldn't help but feel a little worried."

Hearing this, Xia Linxi smiled gratefully and said softly, "Thank you, Sister Xu Lai, but don't worry about me. I'm not scared. You should go back to the house first! I just want to go out for a walk."

However, Xu Lai expressed his willingness to go with Xia Linxi without hesitation: "It would be nice to go out for a walk. I haven't stepped out of the house since I came here yesterday. I can take this opportunity to go out for a walk with you, how about it?"

Looking at Xu Lai's determined gaze, Xia Linxi nodded and said, "Okay!"

So, the two of them walked out of the house together and strolled through the streets and alleys. The sunlight shone on them, as if covering them with a layer of golden light.

Along the way, they talked about various topics, from daily life to life ideals, from literature and art to scientific and technological development. Every topic made them feel excited and the distance between them became closer and closer.

Suddenly, Xu Lai asked Xia Linxi, "Xiao Xi, do you really have a boyfriend now?"

Hearing this, Xia Linxi nodded and said, "Well, Sister Xu, the Lin Tian I just mentioned is my boyfriend."

Hearing this, Xu Lai became more interested and continued to ask, "How about Lin Tian?"

Hearing Xu's words, Xia Linxi smiled happily and said gently, "He's great! Not only is he handsome and charming, he's also very talented and has a great sense of humor. He's also very kind to me, always taking care of me meticulously. Most importantly, he gives me a great sense of security."

Seeing Xia Linxi's happy expression, Xu Lai couldn't help but feel a little envious, and said with emotion: "I didn't expect you to find your other half so soon." There was a hint of envy in his tone, but more of it was a blessing to Xia Linxi.

Xia Linxi heard the envy in Xu Lai's words, smiled gently, and comforted her, "Sister Xu Lai, you are so beautiful and have such a good figure. It's easy for you to find a boyfriend. As long as you are willing, there will definitely be many people pursuing you."

Then, she asked curiously, "By the way, Sister Xu Lai, are you planning to develop in China after returning from abroad? After all, our country's economy has been developing very rapidly in recent years, and there are more and more opportunities."

Xu Lai nodded, agreeing with Xia Linxi's point, and replied, "I do have that idea. Furthermore, the world situation has changed dramatically, and things are in turmoil abroad. Especially in the United States, where alien invasions occur almost daily, wars break out frequently, and life has become incredibly difficult. In comparison, our country is currently relatively stable, so I decided to return home to see if there are any suitable development opportunities."

Xia Linxi nodded thoughtfully, understanding. Then, the two continued walking and chatting, the topic gradually shifting to other topics. They talked about each other's recent situation, future plans, and some interesting things.

As time went by, the two of them gradually walked to the beach. The sea breeze gently caressed their faces, bringing a hint of salty air. Xia Linxi stopped and gazed at the distant sea, an inexplicable yearning welling up in her heart.

Suddenly, Xu Lai noticed a number of black specks appearing on the distant sea. He frowned, curiosity driving him to stare intently at them. As they edged closer to the beach, their figures grew clearer. As they stepped onto the sand, Xu Lai finally made out their features—a group of beastmen with fish-like features.

These beastmen were short, with skin that was dark blue or green and covered in scales. Their eyes were large, round, and gleaming with a deep light. Some had sharp claws on their hands. Seeing this, Xu Lai couldn't help but gasp. She had never seen such a strange creature before, and her heart was filled with confusion and fear.

Xu Lai stared at the beastmen with wide eyes. She whispered to Xia Linxi, "What are these?" A hint of nervousness appeared in her voice.

Xia Linxi shook her head, indicating that she didn't know. She murmured softly, "This doesn't look like a supernatural beast or a ghost demon. It seems that we can only use the props given by Lin Tian."

Xu Lai, who was standing by, didn't hear Xia Linxi's whisper clearly and asked, "Xiao Xi, what were you talking about?"

"Nothing, I think I know how to recognize what these are?" Xia Linxi said. As she spoke, she took out something that looked like a camera and took a picture of them.

After a moment, a virtual screen appeared above the thing with information about them.

The Cruel Shrimp Corps, originating from the Sea Clan, are armed with dual swords, single swords, and spears. While their intelligence is low, their strength lies in their ruthlessness. The Cruel Shrimp Corps' unique characteristic is that the purer the seawater and shrimp species they are made of, the stronger they become. When a Cruel Shrimp Corps is destroyed, it dissolves into a puddle of water. Note: The Sea Clan's goal in invading Blue Planet is to destroy it.

On the other side, Lin Tian, who was practicing, was awakened by the sound of Xiao Ling'er hurriedly walking in from outside the practice room.

He opened his eyes and saw the panicked Xiao Ling'er. He asked in confusion, "Xiao Ling'er, what's wrong?"

Hearing Lin Tian's words, Xiao Ling'er said, "Master, the identification mother unit received a message. Sister Lin Xi seems to have encountered a new monster." As she said that, she handed the identification mother unit to Lin Tian.

Lin Tian obtained this identifier by signing in. It is divided into a master part and a sub-part. Things identified by the sub-part can be quickly synchronized to the master part.

After checking the main unit of the identification device and seeing the information of the Cruel Shrimp Corps on it, Lin Tian's expression remained normal and he was not too worried about Xia Linxi. After all, she had a talisman on her.

However, in order to avoid any accidents, Lin Tian still left the small world inside his body. Then he used teleportation to rush towards Xia Linxi.
