Huo Wu Joins the Chat Group

Stopping in his tracks, Ye Xiao turned around and looked at Huo Wu, who had been following behind him.

Huo Wu had followed him all the way, and her curiosity had long since reached its peak.

Seeing Ye Xiao stop, she raised a hand and gently brushed back her red Long Hair, tousled by the breeze, tucking it behind her ear and revealing her fair neck and profile.

She stared steadily at Ye Xiao. "Ye Xiao, what exactly did you want with me? Why are you being so mysterious?"

Her voice was slightly lower than usual, carrying a trace of anticipation.

Called out alone and brought to such a quiet place, she knew Ye Xiao well enough to know this could not be something trivial.

Ye Xiao did not answer immediately. Instead, he first looked around, confirming that no one was nearby to disturb them.

Only then did he turn to Huo Wu, his expression becoming especially solemn, even carrying a rare seriousness.

"Huo Wu." Ye Xiao spoke slowly, his voice low. "What I'm about to tell you is... something very good. But it may be a little beyond your imagination."

He paused, his gaze locked tightly on Huo Wu's eyes, then said each word clearly:

"So before I tell you, I need you to promise me two things."

"First, no matter what you hear, you must stay calm. Don't be too shocked, and don't lose your composure."

"Second, and most importantly, before you have my permission, you absolutely cannot tell anyone else about this. That includes Ling Ling, Yanzi, Rongrong, and even your family. Can you do that?"

Ye Xiao's tone was more serious than ever, making Huo Wu's heartbeat accelerate involuntarily.

She could sense that what Ye Xiao was about to say was far from ordinary, perhaps even something of great importance.

She took a deep breath, suppressing her surging curiosity and slight nervousness. Straightening her back, she wiped every trace of playfulness from her face.

Looking at Ye Xiao, she nodded heavily.

"Okay! I promise you! No matter what I hear, I'll stay calm. And I swear that unless you agree, I won't reveal a single word of this to anyone!"

"Good." Ye Xiao nodded.

Invite Huo Wu into the Chat Group, Ye Xiao thought.

Suddenly, a voice rang out in Huo Wu's mind.

[Ding!]

[Ye Xiao has invited you to join the 'Loving Family' Chat Group.]

[Do you agree to join the 'Loving Family' Chat Group?]

[Yes/No.]

Huo Wu froze for a moment, then stared blankly at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao smiled. "Join the Chat Group, and you'll learn many things."

Huo Wu swallowed and nodded, then agreed to join.

[Ding! Huo Wu has joined Loving Family.]

[Ye Qianxue (Second Generation): Wow! Mother Huo Wu is here! Welcome, Mother Huo Wu.]

[Ye Kaining (Third Generation): Welcome, Grandma Huo Wu.]

[Ye Yuanling (Third Generation): Welcome, Grandma Huo Wu.]

[Ye Kaiyang (Third Generation): Welcome, Grandma.]

[Ye Chengyue (Fourth Generation): Welcome, Great Grandmother Huo Wu.]

[Ye Wanqing (Fourth Generation): Welcome, Great Grandmother Huo Wu.]

Huo Wu was stunned and could not help looking at Ye Xiao. "Who are the people in this Chat Group? Why are they calling me that?"

Boldly, Ye Xiao pinched Huo Wu's cheek. "They're all my Descendants."

After hearing that, Huo Wu froze completely.

Her eyes blinked again and again as she processed information far beyond anything she had imagined.

A connection to the future?

Descendants?

A Chat Group?

"Th-this Chat Group... are they really all... people with that kind of relationship to us?" Huo Wu could not help looking at Ye Xiao again, her voice full of disbelief and a strange sense of awkwardness.

"And... that Ye Kaiyang, why... why did he call me that?" Thinking of how Ye Kaiyang had addressed her in the group, a blush rose to her face.

She was both Ashamed and Angry, yet also felt a strange sensation of being acknowledged across time and space.

Seeing her both shy and shocked, Ye Xiao found it especially amusing.

He smiled and explained, "That's right. Most of them are my future bloodline descendants. For example, that Ye Kaiyang, according to what the group says and the tracing of the Bloodline Inheritance, should be the future grandson of you and me."

"Gr-grandson?!" Huo Wu was left dizzy by that intimate word, her mind temporarily shutting down.

She... she and Ye Xiao... their future... grandson?

The impact of that realization was even greater than learning about the Chat Group itself!

A mix of shyness, sweetness, absurdity, and disbelief churned in her heart.

Only after a long while did she murmur, "S-so amazing... this is practically... like a dream."

People from the future had somehow made contact with them in the present through an unimaginable method?

And they even knew about the Bloodline Inheritance?

Seeing her gradually accept it, Ye Xiao continued to drop another bombshell. "The reason I was able to reach my current strength so quickly, evolve my Martial Soul multiple times, and make such rapid progress in Soul Power is largely thanks to this Chat Group.

"They... can provide me with information, resources, and even cultivation guidance from the future, helping me avoid many detours."

"So that's how it is." Huo Wu suddenly understood. Her gaze toward Ye Xiao became even more complicated, containing shock, relief, and a trace of envy.

"I knew it! Your cultivation speed is practically like riding a rocket! You were only a Soul Elder not long ago, and now you're almost Level 40! That's way too outrageous! So you had this kind of cheat!" She clicked her tongue.

Women were always more perceptive.

After the initial shock and envy passed, Huo Wu suddenly caught a key point in Ye Xiao's words.

"Wait!" She abruptly raised her head, her gaze sharpening as she stared at Ye Xiao. "That's not right! You just said Ye Kaiyang is a descendant of you and me.

"Then what about the other members in the Chat Group? Whose descendants are they? They can't all be my Descendants, can they? There aren't that many ways to address me."

The smile on Ye Xiao's face immediately stiffened, and his gaze drifted away.

He coughed lightly, turning his head somewhat unnaturally to avoid Huo Wu's direct stare. His voice also lowered. "Uh... as for the others... for example, Ye Wanqing is probably Sister Ling Ling's and mine... and Ye Kaining is Rongrong's and mine... and, well, probably Sister Yanyan's side too."

Though he spoke vaguely, the meaning could not have been clearer.

Huo Wu: "..."

After hearing him, the Corner of the Mouth twitched violently several times beyond her control. Her beautiful eyes widened as she stared fixedly at Ye Xiao's profile, her gaze seeming to say: Good Fellow! What a Good Fellow! Ye Xiao, Ye Xiao, you really are quite capable!

Without making a sound, he was planning to catch all of them in one net!

For a moment, her emotions were a complete jumble. She felt a little sour, a little angry, and a little amused.

This Bad Egg!

He usually looked so serious, but she had never expected his ambitions and abilities in this regard to be anything but small!
