Ch. 1301..1310
Chapter 1301
To outsiders, these people were unattainable celebrities. However, in front of Xyla Quest, they were like her younger siblings.
There wasn't a woman in the world who didn't like being complimented.
When Xyla heard these compliments, she instantly leaned against Stanley Batton and smiled brightly. "Alright, you guys... Stop saying that. Anyway, just make sure you photoshop my pictures and make me look nice."
"Yes, yes, yes..." Everyone said in unison.
Stanley affectionately wrapped his arms around Xyla's shoulders. He then quietly looked at the demure woman in his arms. "They're all right..."
Stanley's voice wasn't loud, but it had a huge effect...
As soon as he opened his mouth, the entire banquet hall went wild!
"D*mn... This public display of affection... I can't take it..."
"What's a heavenly couple? These two are..."
"Stanley is only this gentle to our president..."
"Why do I feel that everything he says is electrifying? Ahh..."
All the single people in the hall felt envious of the display of affection.
It was unbearably painful for them to watch this!
While listening to what everyone said, Xyla's smile gradually widened...
When Josh Batton saw how happy Xyla seemed, he subconsciously began to smile too.
Although he was smiling on the outside, he felt mixed emotions on the inside.
There was no way of explaining how that felt.
***
After the ceremony ended, Stanley held Xyla's hand and led her out...
Meanwhile, the bodyguards and others from the company followed the two respectfully.
The large formation made Xyla and Stanley appear even larger than life.
With two stunningly good-looking bosses walking together, they attracted countless gazes from people around. Whoever saw these two together wouldn't be able to resist saying that these two were a match made in heaven! Xyla, Stanley, Josh, Jay Corben, Morty Wayne, and some of the bodyguards took a private elevator to get downstairs. Meanwhile, the others waited in line to take other elevators.
When the five of them walked out of the hotel with ten bodyguards, the street on the opposite side of the hotel was still crowded... The number of fans only grew throughout the evening.
At first, there were only people on the streets. By now, even the countless balconies further behind the road were packed.
At one glance, there seemed to be people everywhere from the beginning to the end of the street...
When the fans saw their idols from afar, they instantly started shouting wildly...
However, to ensure order, all the fans had long ago concluded that they wouldn't step forward to crowd around their respective idols. They refused to create traffic congestions that might affect their idol's reputation.
Hence, to have a clearer look, everyone brought their binoculars.
When a group of fans across the road saw Xyla coming out of the building with a few ultra-handsome men, they immediately went wild.
Everyone started screaming like mad people-
"Ahh! Josh Batton, don't worry. Your fans will always be with you!"
"Jay Corben! My darling! I love you... I love you!"
"Morty Wayne! Honey, I love you!"
"Ahh! My darling... My darling... Josh Batton... Look at me... Look at me."
"I can't take it anymore. Josh Batton is just too handsome.”
"My Jay Corben... My Jay Corben!"
"Xyla Quest... You really are super lucky... I want to be in your place..."
Chapter 1302
Chapter 1302
"Josh Batton, don't keep looking at Xyla Quest. Although she's your sister-in-law, I still feel jealous!"
Josh Batton and Xyla Quest's fans all shouted grievously as loudly as they could.
Each of them felt as emotional as the next. As they cried and shouted, they fervently took pictures of their favorite idols.
Suddenly, these women's voices drowned out everything else...
The extravagant scene attracted the attention of countless people passing by.
Meanwhile, when the police officers standing guard at the entrance saw Xyla and the others coming out, they quickly held their bodyguards' hands and formed a safety circle around Xyla and the rest. Josh carefully looked across the street...
He saw many lit boards with his name on them.
Josh quickly pushed his way through the security guards and police officers to get close to the road. He then bowed deeply to his fans.
He was truly thankful for them throughout his journey.
They'd been silently accompanying him, and they had never abandoned him.
When Josh's fans saw him bowing, they instantly teared up...
"Ahh! Love is a two-sided arrow, sisters!"
"It's really worth being Josh's fan!"
"He deserves it! Our big brother is the best... He hasn't changed. He really hasn't changed!"
The way Josh bowed deeply to his fans touched the bottom of their hearts.
The young ladies all swore in their hearts that they'd love Josh for the rest of their lives. They would never abandon him!
Meanwhile, when Jay and Morty saw this, they instantly walked up next to Josh and bowed deeply to their fans.
After that, the three of them stood side by side and waved at the ladies.
Across the busy road, they silently looked at each other. Everyone's eyes were filled with stars.
Some of their fans were so excited that they couldn't control their emotions.
One after another, they began tearing up. Tears rolled down their cheeks like beads.
The fans' orderly behavior and the excitement on their faces deeply touched Xyla.
Xyla instantly looked at the bodyguards who surrounded her as well as the police officers. "You don't have to surround us... They won't come over..."
The police officers and bodyguards instantly let go of each other's hands and went behind Xyla.
Xyla immediately raised her hand and waved at the fans....
Apart from the hard work of Xyla, Georgie Clementine, the group of high-level executives, and the artists in the company, X Entertainment's success thus far was also inseparable from the support from this group of fans.
Xyla also felt very thankful toward this group of fans.
Meanwhile, Stanley calmly wrapped his arm around Xyla's shoulders and led her to the car...
Their bodyguards quickly followed them.
Soon, Stanley and Xyla got into a black Bugatti Veyron.
Josh and the others, on the other hand, turned around and got into their trailers.
After they all got into their respective cars, the fans still stood at the same spot and wouldn't leave for a long time.
Some of the girls were still crying.
They had no intention of stopping.
To most of them, their idols were their everything.
Forget bowing to them; even if their idols only glanced at them, they'd feel excited for several days. They'd boast about it for the rest of their lives!
Stanley quickly turned on the car engine. He then stepped on the gas pedal and charged into the heavy traffic.
When fans saw the cool Bugatti Veyron, they all raised their cameras and phones before starting to take pictures wildly.
***
On the passenger's seat, Xyla slowly took her phone out of her silver Hermes purse.
She didn't look at her phone right away. Instead, she shifted her gaze to the fans outside.
The magnificent view of the crowd still left her stunned until now.
Sometimes, these celebrity-chasing girls really did make Xyla feel touched.
She knew that most of these people probably weren't even locals from Atlantis.
Chapter 1303
Chapter 1303
For the sake of seeing their idol just once, they'd even have to travel a thousand or ten thousand miles.
Although the journey was long and tiresome, they were still willing to do it.
These girls' love toward their idols was something ordinary people couldn't possibly imagine.
It was very dark in the car.
The light from street lamps outside lit up their faces now and then.
Despite the interchanging dimness and brightness on their faces, their facial features were still striking.
"These fans really don't have it easy..." Xyla Quest sighed.
"Yeah," Stanley Batton replied softly. After that, he glanced at a large group of fans that appeared briefly outside the window.
"Are you tired?" Soon, Stanley shifted his gaze to Xyla.
Suddenly, his expression had changed from cold to gentle...
After saying that, Stanley reached out and naturally ruffled Xyla's hair.
Xyla shook her head. "No... What about you?"
"Hmm, I'm not tired... You can rest for a while. I'll wake you up when we get home," Stanley said.
Xyla shook her head. "Drive properly. I'll scroll through Weibo for a while," she said.
After that, Xyla opened Weibo like how she usually did.
As soon as she got onto Weibo, she saw many topics related to X Entertainment, her, Stanley, and Josh Batton on the list of hot topics. Xyla immediately tapped on the list of hot topics.
Hot topic number one, '#X Entertainment independently producing web series# Explosive'.
Hot topic number two, '#Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton celebrating X Entertainment's second-anniversary# Explosive'.
Hot topic number three, '#Josh Batton bowing to fans# Explosive'.
Hot topic number four, '#Morty Wayne bowing to fans# Explosive'.

Hot topic number eleven, '#Dave Wilkins# Hot'.
Hot topic number thirteen, '#Cadence Carmichael# Hot'.
Hot topic number fifteen, '#X Entertainment's second-anniversary with wild fans# Hot'.
At one glance, the entire list of hot topics seemed extremely magnificent...
X Entertainment's second anniversary had definitely taken over the list of hot topics.
Xyla tapped on the first hot topic. Of course, there were all sorts of compliments about her...
It was still the same recipe, and it still tasted the same.
Right after that, she tapped on the second hot topic to have a look...
There was an array of photos of her and Stanley during X Entertainment's second-anniversary ceremony.
There were pictures of Xyla on stage and Stanley off stage as they looked sweetly at each other.
There were also pictures of Stanley personally feeding her a shrimp and pictures of the two of them when they arrived at the hotel and walked into it while holding each other's hand. Each of the pictures was edited.
Any random picture from the collection all had a high-definition, film-like quality to it. From the pictures, they looked like a perfect couple. They were made for each other.
Meanwhile, there was also a shocking amount of compliments below the post.
"Ahh... Stanley personally peeled shrimps for Xyla. I'm going crazy. I'm so jealous!"
"Ahh... Stanley and Xyla look way too good!"
"Despite being surrounded by celebrities, the two of them still shine the brightest. This is absurd!"
"Please debut as a couple! I strongly suggest Xyla and Stanley participate in a couple's reality show together!"

Chapter 1304
"Comparing oneself to others does make one mad. Xyla is the luckiest woman alive. She really is!"
After briefly going through the comments, Xyla Quest tapped on the hot topic of how Josh Batton, Morty Wayne, and Jay Corben bowed to their fans. Above each article were footages published by each of their major fans of how they each bowed deeply to their fans.
There were screams and shouts in each video...
In all three articles, each of their fans had descended into complete chaos, seemingly touched.
"It's really worth it being Josh Batton's fan. He really loves us... Humph... I regret not being there."
"Jay Corben looks very cool and wild. But, in reality, he has a gentle heart. Hmm..."
"Morty Wayne has an even gentler heart than how he appears... I can't take it anymore... Love is a two-sided arrow..."
When Xyla saw those fans' comments, she could deeply sense how excited and touched they were.
After reading for a while, Xyla couldn't help but smile gently.
Her smile could light up an entire city.
In the end, Xyla tapped on the article that had her, Stanley Batton, and Josh Batton in the same picture.
After she tapped on the topic, the first post that showed up was published by one of Josh's major fans. It was a picture of them walking out of the hotel.
In the picture, Xyla stood right in the center.
Josh and Stanley were on her left and right, respectively.
Behind Xyla, there were Jay Corben, Morty Wayne, and a large group of bodyguards...
The picture was edited, and they all looked great in the picture.
It felt like a female fairy was leading a group of handsome men out through the door.
Although this Weibo post was published only ten minutes ago, there were already more than five million shares, likes, and comments.
A few of the idols' fans all became jealous again as they caused a commotion in the comment section.
"Ahh... What kind of heavenly combination is this? I'm dead!"
"Xyla Quest is surrounded by all the people I like! I'm so jealous!"
"As we all know, Xyla owns countless handsome men in Country Z. Hahahaha... This is absurd!"
"Ahh! Xyla is really lucky! I am a person who believes in science! However, I really hope I can replace her somehow! I want to become her!"
"What else can I do apart from being jealous? Xyla can enjoy a scene like this that I don't even dare to dream of!"
Everything that came into sight indicated to Xyla how these fans were being slightly emotional...
After briefly looking at these comments, she exited the article. Instead, she started browsing through other current news.
Although it was very quiet on her side, Weibo wouldn't remain silent.
Due to various pictures taken during X Entertainment's second anniversary, fans of various celebrities from X Entertainment repeatedly made noise and comments on Weibo... Every topic related to X Entertainment's second anniversary received consistently enormous attention.
Meanwhile, apart from paying attention to their idols, everyone also paid attention to Xyla...
After approximately half an hour, '#Xyla Quest is the most envied woman on the internet#' was pushed up the list of hot topics by various fans of X Entertainment's celebrities once again. This topic claimed fifth place without warning.
At the same time, many passersby also joined the discussion.
Xyla once again received massive amounts of attention and expressions of envy, jealousy, and hatred on Weibo...
Xyla could see all of this as she scrolled through Weibo.
However, Xyla felt that she had already seen enough. Hence, she didn't pay too much attention to them.
Chapter 1305
Chapter 1305
Instead, Xyla Quest silently browsed through some current news.
At the same time, in the living room of a luxurious, castle-like villa in the suburbs, Sharon Lindt was lying comfortably on a couch with her face mask on. She was browsing through various hot topics about her daughter-in-law...
She saved every single one photo with Xyla in them.
Meanwhile, Sharon casually scrolled past some of the photos with Stanley Batton on his own.
She had no intention of saving them.
When Wilson Batton saw this, he immediately shook his head helplessly. "Honestly speaking, those who don't know it might really think that our son was adopted... And they might think our daughter-in-law is our biological daughter..."
Sharon continued to save Xyla's photos excitedly. "I've gotten bored of looking at my son long ago since I raised him. Besides, he always looks cold. What's nice about looking at that?
"He's nothing compared to our daughter-in-law. She's fresh, gentle, warm, and pretty. Don't you agree?" Sharon asked.
After saying that, she rested her head against Wilson's shoulder like a young girl.
Wilson thought about it deeply for a few seconds before nodding. "You're right. That kid really isn't nice to look at."
"Exactly... What's the point of being good-looking? His expression is always cold..." Sharon said.
"Yeah," Wilson said.
"Honey, don't you think our daughter-in-law is beautiful?" Sharon asked.
"Yeah, she's a little fairy," Wilson said.
"I hope that Josh can also marry someone like her. To be honest... Xyla is my favorite person in this family," Sharon said.
"Yeah, I can tell..." Wilson said.
Sharon chuckled before changing her Weibo name to '#Xyla Quest's biggest female fan#'.
When Wilson saw this Weibo name, he was unsure whether he should cry or laugh.
"Honey... Give me your phone..." Sharon said.
"Why?"
Before Wilson could give Sharon his phone, Sharon fished for it and logged into his Weibo account. She then changed his Weibo name to '#Xyla Quest's biggest male fan#'... Instantly, Wilson felt even more delirious.
However, since his wife was enjoying this, he could only let her have her way.
In fact, he didn't even dare to make a sound.
***
At the same time, on a flat tar road on the other side, a black Mercedes-Benz drove at high speed...
Jay Corben and Morty Wayne sat in the two soft seats in the front.
Morty's assistant and bodyguard were in the back.
"You have your car, but you refuse to use it... And you insist on getting into my car halfway through the journey... What is it that you want?" Morty asked as he looked at Jay. When the two of them split up in front of the hotel's entrance, they had initially gotten into their cars.
After that, the two cars drove off in the same direction.
Once they were out of their fans' line of sight, Jay suddenly gave Morty a call.
Jay asked Morty to stop the car, and he said he wanted to speak to Morty about something...
"Yeah, there's something..." Jay crossed one leg over the other flamboyantly as he looked at Morty.
"What is it?" Morty asked.
"I'll tell you when we're alone later..." Jay didn't answer Morty. Instead, he looked meaningfully at the two people behind them, who were looking at them. "Oh..." Morty nodded obediently.
Chapter 1306
Chapter 1306
"Morty, where are we going?" The young driver, Mr. Warner, looked at Morty Wayne and Jay Corben through the rearview mirror.
"Let's go to my house..." Morty said. After that, he looked at Jay. "Is that alright?"
Jay nodded a little before slowly closing his eyes.
After approximately half an hour, the car drove into a small neighborhood in the city center...
This small neighborhood was the classiest in the city center of Atlantis.
Every inch of land was expensive.
Morty spent all the money he saved up since his debut to buy a house here.
Soon, the car stopped in front of the entrance to Building No.8.
After that, Morty and Jay ushered the staff members away. They then put on their caps, sunglasses, and masks before entering the building.
The two took the elevator to Morty's apartment on the nineteenth floor.
Morty's apartment was spacious, with up to five hundred square meters in area.
The design was a minimalistic Northern European style.
The primary color tones in the space were white, gray, and light green.
It looked clean and refreshing, just like how Morty appeared to other people.
As soon as they walked through the door, Morty gently bent over to retrieve a pair of white slippers from the shoe rack before placing them in front of Jay's feet. After that, Morty retrieved another pair of white slippers with the same design and put them on.
Jay quickly put the shoes on. He then gently ruffled Morty's hair. "Thank you...”
With that, Morty quickly walked over to the sofa in the living room and sat down.
The intimate interaction earlier made Morty blush uncontrollably.
He didn't know when it started, but the feelings between him and Jay had begun changing in little ways.
After trying hard to calm himself down, Morty slowly walked over to Jay and sat down. "Why were you looking for me?"
Beep, beep, beep...
Right then, Morty's phone started ringing.
An unknown number appeared on his phone screen.
Morty immediately tapped the button to answer, a confused look in his eyes. "Hello..."
"Hello, are you Morty Wayne?" The extremely gentle voice of a girl could be heard.
Jay instantly frowned unhappily. After that, he picked up an orange from the table and quickly peeled it. He seemed distracted as he ate it...
"That's me... You are..." Morty trailed off.
"I'm your female fan. Let me introduce myself. I'm the third daughter of the owner of Revo Group. My name is..." Before she could finish her sentence, Jay snatched Morty's phone away and hung up. It was a dominant move, and it was smooth...
Morty immediately frowned unhappily at Jay. "What are you doing?"
"You can't talk to her..." Jay said.
"Why?" Morty asked.
"Don't you have any idea why an unfamiliar woman would call you out of the blue?" Jay asked.
"What does it have to do with you?" Morty complained with a frown. He was still upset that Jay had suddenly snatched his phone away.
"It does..." Jay said.
"Such a bully," Morty said.
"Hmm... Do you have a problem with that?" Jay asked.
"Jay Corben, are you trying to pick a fight?" Morty asked.
Jay chuckled. "Sure... Come and hit me..." Jay said.
Morty was speechless.
Morty was far too tired today. He didn't have the energy to keep messing around with Jay.
Hence, Morty rolled his eyes coldly at Jay before grabbing the gray, daisy-filled pillow. "Why were you looking for me?" Morty asked as he hugged the pillow.
"We have a performance tomorrow... You haven't had time to practice for the past two days because you've been so busy, haven't you? It's an entirely new dance routine. I bet you've not rehearsed it thoroughly yet, have you?" Jay asked.
Chapter 1307
Chapter 1307
"Hmm... Yes... I'm going to practice later," Morty Wayne said.
"I'll help you..." Jay Corben said.
"Did you come to me just for this?" Morty asked.
For some unknown reason, Morty felt a little disappointed.
What was he hoping for?
Jay seemingly smiled as he looked at Morty. There was a playful look in Jay's eyes. "What did you hope I would come to you for?"
The look in Jay's eyes made Morty very nervous. "What did I hope? I wasn't hoping for anything..."
"Oh." Jay smiled a little.
Right then, Jay's phone also started ringing.
The person who called was his teammate, Ron Lambert.
Jay immediately picked up the call-
"What is it? Did something happen?" Jay asked.
"Don't we have a performance tomorrow? I've got a set of moves that I can't seem to get right... Can you come and help me? I'm in our company's practice room..." Ron said.
Jay frowned slightly. "Ask someone else... I'm not free..." Jay said.
"But other people aren't free either," Ron said.
"In that case, look at the television and figure it out on your own," Jay said.
After that, Jay hung up. He didn't waste any time on meaningless chatter.
"Why don't we go to the office and practice with him?" Morty instantly asked when he saw this.
"I'm not interested..." Jay said.
Morty was speechless.
"It's not my job to teach anyone how to dance," Jay said.

The next day, when Xyla Quest opened her eyes, Stanley Batton was already not beside her.
Her entire body felt sore. At this moment, she felt utterly exhausted.
Recalling all the actions that took place last night, Xyla instantly felt angry at Stanley.
After carefully stretching, Xyla got out of bed and pulled the curtains apart...
Instantly, the entire room turned from dark to bright...
The warm sunlight poured into the room and unto her skin. It felt wonderful.
After stretching once more, Xyla went into the bathroom.
Once she was done cleaning up in haste, she picked up a bottle of Chanel's dark-colored perfume.
However, when she tried to spray it, nothing happened, no matter how hard she pressed on it.
She had gone to Chanel last month to have this brand of perfume custom-made for her.
The scent was one-of-a-kind.
The entire process from creation to delivery took a whole month...
It had only arrived the day before.
When she received it, she only tested it for its scent. After that, she left it here.
However, she didn't expect it to stop working when she had barely used it.
Under normal circumstances, she would've disposed of it after something like this happened.
However, she really liked this perfume too much. Hence, she was reluctant to throw it away like this.
The opening of the bottle was sealed shut, and she couldn't twist it open at all...
Hence, Xyla quickly activated her X-ray vision. She wanted to check its condition inside.
Soon, her X-ray vision was activated...
Her vision was able to pierce through the bottle...
However, regardless of how she observed, she couldn't tell what was wrong with this perfume bottle.
After approximately a few seconds, a strange sight suddenly appeared in her mind.
Chapter 1308
Chapter 1308
Xyla Quest could see sporadic moments of an old man with blonde hair and blue eyes creating this perfume bottle.
Apart from this, she could also see sporadic moments of an old woman with blonde hair and blue eyes pouring perfume into this perfume bottle.
What was going on?
Why was she able to see all this?
At this moment, Xyla felt a little shocked.
Could she be hallucinating?
Xyla instantly stopped using her X-ray vision. After that, she closed her eyes and tried to recompose her thoughts.
After that, she shifted her gaze back to the basin. She looked at her Wintersweet face mask container.
In the next second, she activated her X-ray vision.
Soon, her vision pierced through the Wintersweet face mask container. She could see everything inside...
After seeing everything inside the container, sporadic images of how the Wintersweet face mask was made appeared in her mind.
Xyla could see a modern production factory and a modern production process.
She could even see many factory workers wearing white isolation suits.
Xyla was stunned yet again. This was way too mysterious! She found it hard to believe!
Xyla instantly shifted her gaze to a bottle of Dior perfume next to the Wintersweet face mask container...
What happened next was the same as before.
Xyla could see the process of how the bottle of Dior perfume was made.
At this moment, she felt even more shocked on the inside...
After looking away, Xyla carefully looked at her reflection in the mirror.
Her eyes didn't seem any different from how they were usually.
Xyla couldn't help asking questions in her mind.
'What exactly is going on?'
In the past, when she used her X-ray gaze on objects, she couldn't see the process of how those objects were made... 'Why am I able to do it now?'
Could it be because her X-ray vision had leveled up?
Could the penetrating vision actually be leveled up?
Nobody told her about this.
When Yaksha talked to her about the X-ray vision, he didn't mention this to her.
With the current situation, apart from the reason for her X-ray vision being leveled up, Xyla couldn't think of any other reason...
After being stunned, Xyla soon began to feel joyful.
What did her X-ray vision being leveled up mean?
It meant that it would be even easier for her to make money with her eyes.
It'd be even more convenient for her to tell fake antiques apart.
Xyla would be able to do so by using her X-ray vision. Moreover, it'd spare her a lot of time to observe.
That was because she'd be able to see the process of how any object was made as long as she activated her X-ray vision...
She could see clearly whether an object was made by an ancient person or a modern pipeline...
Wasn't this way too cool?
Beep, beep, beep-
Right then, Xyla's phone started to ring. The ringing sound of her phone interrupted her thoughts.
From the phone's screen, she could see that the phone call was from Xavier York, the president of Atlantis Antique Association.
When Xyla saw this, she immediately tapped the button to answer. "Mr. York... Hello..."
Back when Xyla went to the antique store and acquired Pablo Picasso's real work, Xavier invited her to tea.
Since the two got along well through their conversation, they have given each other their phone numbers. However, they hadn't been in touch since then.
Chapter 1309
Chapter 1309
Xyla Quest was a little surprised by Xavier York's sudden call today.
"Hello, Xyla. You seem to be very interested in antiques... There's a small-scale antique auction near my place tomorrow. Would you like to come? This kind of auction is different from the high-class ones you went to... There's a mix of authentic and fake antiques...
"However, the feeling of finding gold among sand is exciting. If we can find a treasure, it'll feel awesome..." Xavier said slowly.
When Xyla heard this, she instantly chuckled with interest. "Sure. May I ask what time we're going?"
Xavier's call came at quite a serendipitous time.
Xyla was thinking of going to an auction like this to test out her eyes.
In the end, she didn't need to look for it. Xavier took the initiative to invite her.
"At two o'clock tomorrow afternoon, come to Times Antique Store and look for me... I'll take you there..." Xavier said.
"Alright," Xyla answered without hesitation.
After agreeing on the time, Xyla chatted briefly with Xavier before hanging up.
Once Xyla hung up, she quickly returned to her room and sat in front of the dressing room. She recalled what just happened as she put on makeup.
From the time she obtained this ability, everything had felt very magical to her.
When Xyla saw her shiny eyes in the mirror, she couldn't help but ponder.
Since the X-ray vision could be leveled up repeatedly, what would it be like the next time it leveled up?
Also, what was the highest level for it? What would it be like? If she reached the highest level, what would happen to her eyes?
Soon, Xyla couldn't help but wonder if other aspects of her eyes had improved this time.
For example, how far could she use the X-ray vision, and how thick an obstacle could it pierce through?
In the past, Xyla could only use X-ray vision on objects within a meter. Apart from that, there was also a requirement of an object's thickness. The thickness couldn't exceed one meter... What about now?
When Xyla thought of this, she quickly stood up and looked at the door.
The door was two meters away from her current position...
After taking a deep breath, Xyla thought about looking past the door in her mind before activating her X-ray vision...
Soon, her vision pierced through the door. She was able to see the doormat outside the door and the hallway with lamps on the wall.
Suddenly, Xyla was stunned again.
Did this mean that the distance requirement had also been relaxed?
Xyla immediately retrieved her gaze. She quickly took a few steps three meters back and tried her X-ray gaze again.
She could still see through the door within three meters...
Xyla kept backing away and trying.
After testing it out in her room, she went onto the balcony and tried to see objects that were even further away...
In the end, she discovered that as long as an inanimate object was within her line of sight, she could see through it no matter how far away and how thick it was.
However, she still couldn't see through living beings.
Apart from this, her vision had also improved significantly.
She couldn't see anything beyond five meters clearly when she didn't have her X-ray vision activated.
But now, she could...
This was yet another huge surprise!
This meant that it'd be much easier for her to check for ore veins in the future!
Right then, Stanley Batton walked in.
When Xyla saw Stanley, she immediately walked up to him excitedly.
However, she didn't say anything.
Instead, she silently activated her X-ray vision.
She wanted to check if she could see through a person's body at such a close distance.
At this moment, Xyla felt extremely excited. In fact, she felt even more excited than the day she first acquired X-ray vision.
Chapter 1310
Chapter 1310
However, the results were the same as before.
Just like before, Xyla Quest could see through Stanley Batton's clothes.
In her mind, she could also see the process of how Stanley's clothes were made.
However, that was all...
She still couldn't see through Stanley's body and the inner layout of his body.
However, even so, she already felt delighted.
Feeling a slight pain in her eyes, Xyla immediately closed her eyes and deactivated her X-ray vision...
Sensing that something was wrong with Xyla, Stanley immediately approached her with a concerned look. "Honey, what's wrong with you?"
Xyla instantly opened her eyes and shook her head. "It's nothing... Honey... My X-ray vision has leveled up..."
"Leveled up?" Stanley's eyes filled with shock.
Xyla nodded. "Yeah... It's leveled up. Now, as long as something is within my line of vision, I can easily see through it... It doesn't matter how thick the object is. My vision would be able to pierce through it..." When Stanley heard this, a curious look appeared in his eyes. "Really?"
Xyla nodded. "Yeah. However, it's only limited to inanimate objects. It doesn't work on living beings... For example, you're in front of me right now... I can only see through your clothes like before, but it can't see through your body..." She said.
"That's already very good..." Stanley said.
Xyla nodded again. "Yes... It'll be much more convenient for me to check for ore veins in the future..."
"Apart from that, it'll also be much more convenient to do other things..." Xyla added.
For example, when she went to an auction in the future, she wouldn't have to sit close to the stage purposely. "Hmm," Stanley murmured softly.
He still felt shocked about all this from the bottom of his heart.
Everything was equally magical to him...
"I wonder what things will be like when your eyes level up again..." Stanley said excitedly.
"I don't know... I think I should ask Yaksha about it. He might know," Xyla said.
"Yeah," Stanley uttered.
"The level advancement happened very suddenly this time. There weren't any signs at all..." Xyla sighed.
"Yeah..." Stanley said.
"In fact, I don't even know when it happened. Most importantly, I haven't been using the X-ray vision at all lately... Now, I'm really curious about when my eyes leveled up. Also, what are the conditions for it to level up..." Xyla added.
Now, her curiosity was rising again...
"Also... Do you know? Now, I can even witness the process of how an object is made through X-ray vision..." Xyla said.
When Stanley heard this, another look of surprise appeared in his eyes. "What? Does something like this actually exist?" Xyla nodded...
"Mysterious..." Stanley sighed.
"Yes. It'll be even easier to tell fake antiques apart..." Xyla said.
"Yess... Congratulations, honey." Stanley's eyes filled with approval.
After saying that, Stanley extended his arm and pulled Xyla into his embrace...
Xyla clung to him like a little bird. She hugged him tightly. "I'm going to an auction tomorrow... I plan to test my eyes out at the auction...
"There will be genuine and fake antiques at the auction... It's suitable for me," Xyla added.
"What time will it be tomorrow?" Stanley asked with interest.
"Hmm... Two o'clock in the afternoon, I guess," Xyla said.
"I have a meeting then. I'll get the bodyguards to go with you," Stanley said.
