《Text Game: It All Began when a Cat-eared Girl Took Me In》 Chapter 1 - 1 1 Is This Cats Thing also Considered a Daily ?Chapter 1: Chapter 1: Is This Cats Thing also Considered a Daily Game?_1 Chapter 1: Chapter 1: Is This Cats Thing also Considered a Daily Game?_1 Click-clack, clickety-clack. The sound of keyboards echoed intermittently around Luo Xis ears. Luo Xi rubbed his eyelids and glanced at the time on the bottom right of his computer screen. 5:26. It was about time to clock out. His colleagues nearby were still in a state of high-intensity work. Based on what Luo Xi had observed in the nearly three months since he joined, they wouldnt leave until after eight oclock, each one of them a seasoned overworker. As the time reached 5:28, Luo Xi followed procedure, closing various drafting software applications and clearing his computers background processes. At that moment, a cultured-looking man in his thirties ambled over and said languidly, Luo Xi, dont rush off just yet. Can you take care of this bid proposal for me? Ive already sent the document to you on WeChat. Luo Xis brow twitched as he replied, Group Leader Chen Chen, its almost time to get off work. Chen Chen, with a smile, said, I know its almost time, but as a young man, you should be exercising your skills. Youve only been here three months, and getting familiar with this kind of work is for your own good; itll give you a broader perspective for future growth in the company. Oh. Without looking up, Luo Xi asked, So, is there overtime pay today? What are you talking about? Chen Chen looked surprised as he said, Youre still within your probationary period, and you know how our industry worksflexible working hours. This counts as voluntary overtime, so theres no overtime pay. Heh. Luo Xi nearly laughed out of frustration. How can he say that with such confidence? Ill pass on that exercise; its too much for me. Find someone else. Luo Xi couldnt be bothered with the foolish group leader anymore. He simply and swiftly shut down his computer, packed his things, and left. Thinking of exploiting his labor for free? Not happening. The companys compensation package was actually not bad, but the management was as senseless as a dodo. If you had tasks, why not assign them earlier? Instead, you shove them at me right at the end of the day without overtime pay. Isnt this just plain disgusting? After Luo Xi left the company lobby, his WeChat group was constantly buzzing with new messages. He glanced at it; in the work group chat, Chen Chen was incessantly tagging everyone and complaining. All the stuff about Im assigning you tasks for your own good, young people dont know the meaning of hard work, not willing to put up with a bit of hardship, youll just be a lifer as a wage earner and so on. The way he talks, anyone would think hes the company owner. Now in the rush hour of leaving work, Luo Xi didnt wait for the elevator, instead taking the fire stairs next to him. Lets order some takeout um, what should I get? Suddenly, a notification popped up at the top of his phone. [Respected player, you have been awarded the opportunity to test the daily text game Dawn (only 100,000 spots available worldwide). Would you like to download?] A junk game at first glance. Luo Xi casually swiped the notification away. The notification popped up again. [Handsome player, are you sure you dont want to download? This is a fun daily game, providing experiences youve never had before] Swipe away x2. [Game download successful. Dawn is installing Installation complete. Enjoy your game] Within a few seconds, a grey app icon appeared on his phone screen. Luo Xi: ??? Forcefully downloaded and installed? Game studios these days are really stooping to new lows. He held down the app icon, trying to delete the game. [Deletion failed] After multiple attempts, Luo Xi found that he simply couldnt remove the thing; even obliterating the entire game file with his phones security software still didnt erase the icon from the screen. Fxxk, is this thing a game or a virus? Hope its not one of those prank apps that emit weird, high-pitched noises? One time in his freshman year, one of Luo Xis roommates fell for one during a core class and ended up with a Social Death, losing his dating prospects for all four years of college. Luo Xi looked around before and behind him; the dark stairwell was empty. After a moments hesitation, he still opened the app, while firmly covering the speaker. A black background and white text appeared simultaneously. [Respected player, no, Traveler from Otherworld, you should be addressed as now] [Traveler, you are embarking on a journey into the unknown; what lies ahead is still a mystery. During the journey, you may pay unimaginable costs, even including your life] [Of course, you will also receive ample rewards] [In the Dream world, any changes and enhancements originating from the essence of your characters life will reflect equally upon your corresponding physical entity in the Otherworld] [Do you wish to begin the journey to the Dream?] [Yes/No] [Note: Choosing No will permanently delete this game, and it cannot be redownloaded. Please consider carefully] So, it actually is a game? Luo Xi clicked Yes. Since he had already launched it and had nothing else to do, he might as well play for a bit. [Traveler from the Otherworld, you have chosen to embark on this unknown journey. Regardless of what lies ahead, you are now a warrior worth praising] [You have been granted the title: Traveler from the Otherworld] [Initiating character creation] [Your characters appearance will use your current physical features as a template] [The initial characters behavior style will be based on your subconscious as a reference.] [Initial character creation complete.] [The great will of the Dream world has given all Travelers from the Otherworld a selection of gifts to choose from.] [Gifts can be good or bad, so please choose carefully, as the choice is irreversible.] [Please select two of the following talents as your initial talents.] [Friendly reminder: The color of the talent only represents the rarity of the talent.] S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Town Quizzer (White/Common)Your speed of learning knowledge far exceeds that of ordinary people (limited to general knowledge only).] [Poor Man (Green/Excellent)Your money will always be lost for inexplicable reasons (so as long as youre broke, you wont lose any money~).] [Same-Sex Repulsion (Blue/Rare)All individuals of the same sex have a default -50 Favorability toward you (an essential talent to become the enemy of all males).] [Animal Affinity (Blue/Rare)All small animals have a default +50 Favorability toward you (an essential talent for luring various small animals).] [Variant (Purple/Epic)You have been infected by some unknown Mutant Factor (dont ask, asking means I dont know).] [Many Misfortunes (Purple/Epic)You always encounter many unfortunate events, and disasters will uncontrollably seek you out (disasters? Theyre just stepping stones for you to become stronger).] [Immersion (Gold/Legend)After completing certain conditions, you can fully synchronize with characters in the Dream world for a short time, and gain corresponding attribute buffs (usable without unlocking the Dreamland synchronization module).] What a mess of talents This unscrupulous game developer definitely doesnt know how to make games, probably just got some temps to write this text. Forget it, Ill just pick the two that look the best. Just as Luo Xi was about to choose, another line of rainbow-colored text popped up. [Lucky Traveler from the Otherworld, you have caught the attention of ??? and your talent options have increased by one.] [MoonflowZero Point (Rainbow/Mythical)After death, you can choose to revert back to zero oclock of the current day (Note: Reverting will cause intense mental stress, please use with caution) (??? has also given you a gift, after selecting this talent, the seven talents are all selected by default, and the player cannot choose.)] Luo Xi was slightly startled. Time reversal, huh? Loser eating dust, is it? Is this a random Easter egg triggered in the game? Or is it a mandatory process? However, the description of this talent is quite interesting. A total of eight talents, some good, some bad, originally only two could be chosen, but if I choose the last one, then all those seemingly unfavorable talents would be chosen by default. Luo Xi didnt think too much about it; since the best talent had appeared, it certainly had to be chosen. The rest of the negative talents didnt matter, after all, its just a game. Luo Xi directly highlighted the newly appeared option. [You have chosen the talent MoonflowZero Point, please note that after choosing this talent, all available talents are automatically acquired by default, do you wish to proceed?] [Yes] [Selection successful.] [Your chosen talents have all been loaded, Traveler from the Otherworld, you may begin your journey.] Uh Luo Xi suddenly felt a needle-like pain in his head, as if something had been forcibly shoved inside, but the pain vanished in an instant. Before he could react, the game had already begun, and new text appeared on the screen. [Traveler from the Otherworld, you awaken in a pile of weeds, surrounded by rolling hills, and its nearly dusk.] [The cool evening breeze, carrying the chill of moisture, brushes against your body, making you feel somewhat cold, your Coldness +1 (temporary status).] Hey, is this a text-based game? Luo Xi immediately felt it was rather dull; he had always been disinterested in this type of game. Couldnt they at least provide some appealing images? But since Ive started playing, it wouldnt hurt to play a bit longer. [You stand up and look ahead.] [As a Traveler from the Otherworld, you are stunned by the first sight before you, you have never seen such things.] [The silhouette of a giant tree piercing the sky is visible in the distance, clouded in mist, making it appear mysterious under the red sunset.] [You feel an ebullient vitality coming from that direction, drawing you towards it.] [Recorded Event: Giant Tree] An icon appeared in the upper right corner of the screen. Luo Xi clicked on it. [Unlocked Module: Event Record Book] [Giant Tree] [Description: You have seen a sky-high giant tree with your own eyes, feeling the vitality it contains, perhaps you should move in that direction?] A sky-high tree? How big could it be, hundreds of meters tall? Luo Xi played with his phone, walking down the stairs, leaning on the railing. The issue with textual games is just this, all imagery needs to be conjured up in your own mind. When Luo Xi reached the second floor, he failed to notice a soda can on the step below. And then, as luck would have it, Luo Xi stepped right onto it. Fxxk! Amidst the cursing and a loud crash against the wall, Luo Xi leaned against the stairwell wall, while the dropped phone screen next to him displayed two lines of text. [Ding! Talent: Many Misfortunes has been triggered] [Ding! Talent: Poor Man has been triggered] Chapter 2 - 2 2 Something is Indeed Off about this Game_1 ?Chapter 2: Chapter 2: Something is Indeed Off about this Game_1 Chapter 2: Chapter 2: Something is Indeed Off about this Game_1 Ten minutes later, someone found Luo Xi who had fainted in the stairwell and urgently sent him to the nearby hospital. At 9 PM, Luo Xi lay on his rented bed, clutching the small bump on his forehead, despairingly staring at the balance of his bank card on his phone. This hospital visit, along with the various tests and medical expenses, had spent every penny he had saved in the past few months from his internship. Now, he didnt even have money to eat. He had even used Huabei, a consumer credit service, to pay for his takeaway dinner that night. He didnt know which lowlife had sloppily thrown trash in the fire escape. He better not find that person, otherwise hed definitely demand thousandsand no, actually demand medical expenses. Fortunately, his fall wasnt too severe; he had just happened to faint. When Luo Xi was brought to the hospital, he had actually regained consciousness. After running various tests and looking at the CT scan, the hospital gave him some medicine and let him go. I shouldnt have been playing with my phone when going downstairs, and this game Luo Xi stared at the grey icon on his phones desktop, his brows deeply furrowed. For some reason, he felt eerily uneasy. This game seemed a bit off Hesitating for quite a while, Luo Xi eventually opened the game, and the black background with white font reappeared. [Traveler from another world, you have finally returned!] [It is deep in the night now. Stars cast their brilliant starlight across the sky, reflecting off the bright full moon, and you marvel at the otherworldly landscape. Your Happiness Level +1.] [In the meantime, the body you control in the Dream World has lost 12% of its Life Value due to cold.] [Note: After losing your will, Traveler, if your character is in a state of survival, it will only enter the lowest degree of interaction mode. We advise that you find a proper resting place or enter a safe area before leaving the Dream World.] [You are lucky this time; there are no ferocious beasts nearby.] [Traveler, please find a place to shelter from the cold as soon as possible. After midnight, the temperature here will drop below minus thirty degrees, and in your ragged clothes, you will easily freeze into a solid human popsicle.] [What is your choice?] [ Stay and wait for death] [ Move, search for a warm place] Luo Xi chose to move. [Traveler from another world, you gather your courage and embark on the journey through the night, relying on the starlight to barely see the path ahead. You need to cross the mountain in front of you.] [You see what looks like twinkling stars shining on a giant tree far away, guiding your path, and once again, you marvel at the beauty of this world. Your Happiness Level +1.] [You grope your way along the rocky mountain path] [You grope your way along the rocky mountain path] [Would you like to accelerate gameplay to the next event node? You can choose between 1-30 times the speed.] A white progress bar crawls sluggishly below the question. Luo Xi immediately cranked the speed up to the fastest 30 times. [Accelerating progress] On the screen, the progress bar moved tens of times faster. If Luo Xi lifted his head right now, he would be shocked to find the second hand of the clock hanging on his wall spinning like mad. [Ding! After your relentless effort, you have been beheaded by an unknown creature hidden in the woods.] [You are dead.] Luo Xi: !?] Im dead just like that? Is this even a regular game? He instinctively touched his neck. Why did it feel somewhat chilly? The game text continued to progress. [Death Summary] [Poor Traveler, it is common sense in the Dream World not to travel at night. You, being new to this world, have learned about the dangers that come with it for the first time.] [But rest assured, the grand will of the Dream World has bestowed the power of resurrection upon travelers from other worlds.] [Oh, you want to know what the great will is exactly?] [It cannot be told, it cannot be said.] [Just understand that each traveler from another world gets three chances to Resurrect within a day.] [Of course, there is a price for resurrection. Each time you resurrect, the next day, your physical presence in the Otherworld will suffer a decrease of 20% in all qualities.] [Do you choose to Resurrect immediately?] [Note: If no safe area is bound, Travelers will resurrect at the location of the last event point. Once the three daily opportunities for Resurrection are used up, Travelers will be temporarily unable to enter the game.] [Talent: MoonflowZero Point has been triggered.] [Do you choose to return to todays Zero Point?] What does that mean? Weakening of the body in the Otherworld? Could it be that dying in the game could affect the real me? Luo Xi wanted to laugh. He pondered for a bit and chose the normal Resurrection; after all, its best to save the strongest for last. [Under the grace of the great will, your body reappears in that pile of grass, and you receive a new life. Praise the generosity of the great will!] [The journey is long, but step by step will get you there.] [Traveler, now that you know the dangers of the night, do you still have the courage to move forward?] Luo Xi curled his lip. Its just a game, how could I possibly lack courage? Bear in mind, I am the one who dares to play escape and Silent Hill games alone in the dead of night with the lights off. [You grope your way along the rocky mountain path] [With your cleverness, you evade the area where the unknown creature was, cross over the mountain, and finally see signs of habitation below. Midway up the hill, there is a small cottage with bright light shining through the windows. What do you choose?] [ Go over and knock on the door, asking the owner to let you stay overnight.] [ Sneak into the house quietly.] [ Barge in directly.] Luo Xi chose the first option. As a fine young man of the new era, I obviously have to do things that align with the prevailing social values. [You chose to go over and knock on the door.] [The door opens, and an elderly woman, hunched over and appearing very kind, greets you. Bright light pours out from the house, and something resembling an electric lamp hangs from the ceiling.] [The elderly woman first looks at you in amazement, then starts laughing wickedly, Hehehe, muttering something in a language you dont understand.] [You find this old lady rather creepy.] [As you think about leaving, the old lady suddenly pulls out a knife and stabs it precisely into your heart.] [You are dead.] Ah? Luo Xi was dumbfounded. What kind of NPC is this, killing on sight? Is that being kind? And this wicked old woman also played dirty, stabbing him to death without warning. [Death Summary] [Poor Traveler, you trusted first impressions too much and were killed by an evil, fallen Skill Practitioner. She seemed to be in need of materials for her experiments, and you conveniently showed up at her doorstep, hehehe.] [You may choose to Resurrect at the last event point.] [Talent: MoonflowZero Point has been triggered.] [Do you choose to return to todays Zero Point?] [No.] [Under the grace of the great will, you reappear above the position of the little cottage halfway up the mountain.] [What is your choice this time?] S~ea??h the N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [ Give up the goal and detour around.] [ Go up and knock on the door.] [ Sneak into the cottage quietly.] [ First explore the surroundings to look for a weapon that can be used.] Chapter 3 - 3 3 Can this Character be any Weaker_1 ?Chapter 3: Chapter 3 Can this Character be any Weaker?_1 Chapter 3: Chapter 3 Can this Character be any Weaker?_1 Of course, he should go around No way! The damn old witch killed him for no reason; he had to get his revenge. Luo Xi figured that since the other party was an old woman, her combat power might not be very high, so he needed to find a weapon first. [You wandered around the house] [You found a green brick and added it to your Dream Bag, and now you can take out a weapon from the bag] [Ding! Dream Bag has been unlocked] [Dream Bag] [Quality: Purple Color (Epic)] [Category: Exclusive Item] [Properties: Contains 1 cubic meter of space, cannot be dropped, cannot be gifted, can be upgraded] [Description: Every Traveler in an Otherworld starts with a Dream Bag measuring 1mx1mx1m. The Dream Bag cannot be dropped and is bound to the Traveler, but the items inside can be stolen, watch out for pickpockets!] [Current items as follows] [A green brick] [Quality: White Color (Common)] [Category: Weapon (Tentative)] [Properties: Damage +110 (receives different damage bonuses depending on the part of the body hit)] [Description: This is just an ordinary brick, and it might not even be as hard as a stone, but in the Otherworld you find yourself in, isnt there a saying that no matter how high your martial arts, you can be brought down by a brick?] Luo Xi didnt expect to find any swords or blades by the roadside, so a brick would have to do. [You equipped the green brick, and with the weapon in hand, you confidently approached the cabin again, knocking on the door and then hiding beside it] [After a long period of time, the old woman finally opened the door] [This time, you didnt fight fair and chose to strike first. You suddenly sprang from the side, raised the green brick, and smacked it hard on the old womans head] sea??h th Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [A dull thud was heard] [Your Happiness Level +3] [Was your surprise attack successful?] [Sadly, it was not] [The old womans head only shook. Your attack had no effect, but the old woman became furiously angry. After so many years, you were the first person who dared to hit her head] [The old womans Anger Value +100] [The old woman took a knife, still stained with your blood, out of her pocket and then got a clear view of your face] [The old woman was surprised to see you again. She was sure she had dissolved your body into alchemical material, not leaving even a single hair behind] [Sensing danger, you attempted to backtrack but the old woman, swift as the wind, caught up with you from behind] [You are now in a standoff with the old woman] [You are no match for her. You were knocked unconscious with a single hand and dragged into the basement, where you were injected with an anesthetic and laid on a blood-stained experimentation table, losing consciousness of your body] [In a hazy state of awareness, you experienced the agony of having your organs removed, your Happiness Level -10, your Fear Value +20] [You died] Fxxk, could this character be any weaker? [Death Summary] [Poor Traveler, you were killed by the wicked Skill Practitioner again, who decided to dissect you bit by bit to understand the mysteries of your body, using your organs for her research] [You may choose to Resurrect at the last event point] [Talent: MoonflowZero Point has been triggered] Luo Xi chose to Resurrect. He had died three times; this was his last life. [You have been Resurrected] [You have retrieved the green brick] [Detected that this item can be removed to the current Travelers actual location] [Would you like to take out the item?] Hmm? Luo Xi didnt quite understand, but still nodded yes. A moment later, Luo Xi felt his right hand suddenly weighed down. What is this? With just one glance, his breathing quickly became labored, his expression as if he had seen a ghost. In his hand was a heavy, large green brick, still bearing traces of soil and moss. Is this the brick from the game? How could something from the game appear in reality? This completely defies the laws of physics Luo Xi sat up in bed, holding his breath, his heart pounding, and widened his eyes to continue looking at the phone screen. [Poor Traveler, after dying twice, you realize youre no match for that evil old lady. Whats your choice this time?] [ Knock on the door] [ Walk around] Luo Xi was silent for a long time, glancing at the brick in his hand, gritted his teeth, and chose to knock on the door. At worst, Ill just die another time. [Brave Otherworld Traveler, you once again went over and knocked on the door] [This time the old lady opened the door very quickly] [Different from before, the old lady looked at you in panic, questioning who you are and why you were still alive and not dead, since there were already two of you inside her little cottage] [The old lady felt fear, she began to suspect that someone was messing with her in secret] [She didnt kill you again but instead shut the door forcefully, refusing to open it no matter how much you knocked] [Minutes later, you heard rustling sounds of grass and shrubs coming from behind the cottage, and by the moonlight, you saw a figure sprinting up the mountain] [It turned out that the old lady had packed some things and left the cottage] [Lucky Otherworld Traveler, your ignorance and lack of fear have caused the old lady to be afraid. In this game of wits, youve won the final victory] [Traveler, now you can rest well. Before the old lady realizes, this cottage is yours] [Whew] [Suddenly, you feel a surge of heat wash over you] [It was the old lady who set fire before she left] [The flames quickly ignited the cottage] [Poor Traveler, youve just lost the cottage you gained, your luck is really bad~] Luo Xi: Is this damn text gloating over my misfortune? Standing atop the mountain, Cerisia looked down at the roaring fire below, her wrinkled old face casting a sinister glow in the light of the flames. Before leaving, she set the fire as usual, and although she felt a pang of regret, she couldnt give her precious materials to the enemy for free. Better to burn them all. What the hell was that thing? Cerisia prided herself as the most talented Skill Master in the past century. She was well-traveled and had seen all kinds of scenes. Those who knew her deeds were aware that she indeed had talent in various skills, only that she strayed onto the wrong path. Of course, she didnt see it that way. Today, Cerisia began to suspect she had seen a ghost. She had never witnessed such a scene. Why did that person wearing ragged clothes keep resurrecting in front of her, time after time? She had personally eviscerated him, dismembering his body into six parts! She was one hundred percent sure he was as dead as one could get! Not even those lunatics from the Church of Truth had such bizarre powers, right? No matter, it was best to leave. She had other arrangements outside this place, and there was no need to stubbornly confront this anomalous fellow here. Chapter 4 - 4 4 As long as youre cute it doesnt matter what ?Chapter 4: Chapter 4 As long as youre cute, it doesnt matter what your gender is_1 Chapter 4: Chapter 4 As long as youre cute, it doesnt matter what your gender is_1 Luo Xi hadnt anticipated the games development to be this outrageous. That damned old lady took the bucket and ran away just like that. But he soon figured it out. Since resurrections in the game didnt reverse time, the old lady had witnessed his two deaths, which scared her off the third time he approached her. Yep, it made sense. The games text was still appearing. [Poor Traveler, the evil Skill Practitioner burnt down his own house before leaving, and you have no choice but to embark on the journey to find shelter once again.] [However, you could also wait for the fire to die down, then search the ashes for any useful items that may have survived the flames.] [Your choice is?] [Wait] [Leave] Of course, Luo Xi chose to wait. [Waiting, would you like to accelerate] X30. After a few minutes, Luo Xi, yawning with sleepiness, felt a bit impatient when the game notification finally popped up. [After raging for over an hour, the fire has finally ended. Fortunately, it didnt spread, or else Traveler, you might have been turned to ashes.] [Its nearly midnight, and the temperature has already dropped to minus 30 degrees. Your cold level +50, your Life Value starts to decrease.] [Moving on would not be wise. The ashes still retain some warmth. Perhaps, Traveler, you could spend a cold night here and collect usable materials tomorrow. Would you like to enter the wooden hut ruins?] [Yes] [You entered the ruins of the wooden hut and, after some searching, found a sunken depression that still held a fair amount of heat, and it seems there was some heat source below, continuously warming you. You feel warmth.] [Your Life Value stops decreasing.] Luo Xi breathed a sigh of relief. Where exactly can one see these game indicators for Life Value, Happiness Level, and cold level? Luo Xi had only found the task record and the Dreamland backpack as additional features so far. Hadnt they been unlocked yet? Suddenly, the phones date reminder popped up. The date now: September 24th, 00:00. Something clicked in Luo Xis mind, feeling that something was off. How did it become midnight all of a sudden? He glanced to the side; the clock on the counter also just reached 12 oclock. Luo Xi vividly felt as if he had only been playing the game for a few minutes. [Ding! As a consequence of resurrecting three times yesterday, the Great Will has taken some of your energy, you have gained a negative status: Weakness.] [Your all qualities decrease by 60%.] Hmm? So sleepy Luo Xis eyelids drooped uncontrollably, as waves of sleepiness incessantly flooded his cortex. Seconds later, heavy breathing filled the room as Luo Xi fell asleep. The next day, Luo Xi was woken up by the ringing of his phone. Groggily, he fished out the phone and gave a cursory glance; the caller ID showed it was that idiot team leader from his company. As soon as Luo Xi answered, the other end erupted into a roar and angry bellowing. You got temperamental after just a few words yesterday, skipping work, huh? Well, you dont have to come in anymore! Luo Xi was dumbfounded by the scolding and checked the time. Sear?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. September 24th, 13:12. Huh? I actually slept till the afternoon? Last night Something clicked in Luo Xis mind. Hurriedly, he looked to the side. The green brick was still lying obediently beside him. So, everything last night wasnt a dream? Hey, Luo Xi, can you hear me talking? You respond! Beep Luo Xi simply hung up, not in the mood for explanations. There was something more important than going to work now. His phone screen, once unlocked, showed Dawn, the game he hadnt managed to turn off last night. [Traveler, youve finally returned.] [Last night, you were fortunate enough to find the evil Skill Practitioners thermal platform and safely spent a cold night. Unfortunately, while you slept, you were bitten, killed, and eaten by an unidentified creature that came sniffing around, leaving behind only a few of your bones and a trace of blood.] Luo Xi: Damn, inexplicably dead again. [You have been resurrected.] [Now, you can search the ruins of the wooden hut.] [After some searching, you found some coins lingering in a corner.] [You have obtained 22 copper coins, 2 silver coins, and 1 gold coin.] [More valuable than money, the equipment and knowledge left by the Skill Practitioner are their most prized possessions. Alas, it all went up in flames.] Luo Xi tried to take the coins out of his backpack. [Would you like to retrieve the items?] [Yes] Soon, his hand was wrapped in a white light and, as the light faded, his hand now held a bunch of coins stamped with unknown patterns. Hey, these coins can actually be taken out too. So, can they be put back in? Luo Xi took the coins and the green brick in his hand and touched the screen. [Would you like to place items?] [Yes] [Item Placement Successful] The green brick turned into a light and vanished from his hand, while his bag now contained the green brick and some coins. Luo Xi picked up another book from the bedside. [Would you like to place an item?] [Yes] [Placement Failed] [Note: Currently, the bag can only accept items that originally belong to the Dream world] Cant I put real-world items into the game? The items taken out of the game are real, after all. What a pity that the game characters act through existing text. Otherwise, he would definitely conduct various experiments, such as bringing some plants from the games forests into this world. [You tidy yourself up and set out on your journey again, heading towards the distant giant tree] [This time your luck seems pretty good. After half an hour of climbing, you stand atop a small hill and catch sight of a vast town on the plains not far below. Your Happiness Level +1] [Unlocked Area: Winter City] [You are surprised to find that in the center of this town, there is also a very tall giant tree. You estimate it to be about a hundred meters tall, but its not your original target. Compared to the distant tree hidden in the clouds, it seemed rather short] [You are descending the mountain] [Half an hour later, you arrive outside the town gates where several simply dressed people are going in and out. A few guards clad in silver armor are watching over the gate] [Will you attempt to enter the town?] [Yes] [You follow the crowd and line up] [After waiting in line for a period of time, you reach the front of the gate] [The guard is a male, and he looks at your clothes with great disdain. He has never seen someone as unkempt as you before, and he thinks your face is very annoying because he doesnt have such a handsome face] [Talent: Same-Sex Repulsion has been triggered, the guards Favorability toward you -50] [Current Favorability of the guard towards you: -50 (Disgusted)] Luo Xi: ? [Although the guard despises you, he still points to the transparent glass orb on the table and hands you a small knife] [Ding! The guard has issued you a task to drop your blood onto the glass orb. Perhaps something interesting will happen?] [You cut your finger with the knife and squeeze out a drop of blood] [After your blood falls on the glass orb, the sphere immediately bursts into radiance. Being well-versed in various internet novels, you start wondering if this is some kind of ability test, and what your potential might be. Could it be that youre an unparalleled genius] [Just when you think what follows will be a clichd sequence, the guards disdainful look turns into disgust. He steps back several paces away from you, and people around also keep their distance, as if theyve encountered a ferocious beast] [The guards Favorability toward you -60] [Current Favorability of the guard towards you: -110 (Hostile)] [The guard says sternly, So youre a Variant, too. No matter how or when you got infected, since youre a Mutant Patient, you should know the rules. Dont you know that Winter City usually doesnt allow your kind in? Get the hell out of here before I have to get physical. Youre so dirty, I dont even want to touch you.] What kind of Variant? Luo Xi was somewhat baffled. Then he suddenly remembered that when he chose his talents yesterday, there was a purple one called Variant. [You stand there helplessly. At this moment, you see someone in the queue beside you take out some coins to give to the guard and get let inside the city] [Perhaps you can try to bribe the guard too] [Will you try?] [Yes] [You take out 10 copper coins from your pocket and hand them over. The guard accepts them disparagingly and waves you away to leave quickly] [You hand over another 10 copper coins. The guard still takes them but continues to urge you to go away and not block the way] Luo Xi: Does he think the money is too little? [You decide to give him all your copper coins and two silver coins. The guards eyes suddenly light up. He didnt expect someone dressed as shabbily as you to have so much money, which is worth a month of his salary] [Ding! Talent: Poor Man has been triggered] [Ding! Talent: Many Misfortunes has been triggered] [The guard snatches all the money you offered and says viciously, If you dont want to die, get out of the way!] [He picks you up and throws you far away. You fly in a high arc and unfortunately, when you land, your right leg hits a sharp rock] [Ah! Youre bleeding profusely] Isnt it after robbing my money you should at least let me into the city? And whats with these damn talents? He didnt pay much attention to those negative talents before, but they all turned out to be pretty nasty. [Recorded Event: Variant] [Variant] [Description: In this world, the identity represented by Variant seems to be despised by normal people?] [Your right leg is severely injured. You try to stand and walk a few steps but then collapse weakly against a crooked tree] [Ding! Because you, Traveler, are really too unlucky, you have obtained the title: Unlucky Person] [Unlucky Person: Equipping this title increases the probability of unfortunate events by 10% (each traveler can equip up to three titles simultaneously)] [Do you want to equip it?] Who would equip this thing! [Poor Traveler, your luck is really bad, perhaps this is where your journey ends] [Ding! Talent: Intimacy with Small Animals has been triggered] [??? Favorability +50] [A slender figure wrapped in a yellow hood approaches you] [You now have some understanding of the malice in this world. You watch the person warily, ready to retaliate even in death] [The slender figure kneels in front of you] [You see that the persons face is covered with a white cloth, obscuring their features, but their eyes are a beautiful shade of light red] [Judging by the eyebrows and eyes, they seem to be a girl in her teens, but it could also be a cute boy] [But that doesnt really matter] [Your Happiness Level +10] [Note: Hm? Traveler, you have a problem] [He/She says, Are you a fool? People like us, if we want to enter the city, who would boldly walk through the main gate? Look at you now, what a mess. Hey, hey, theres so much blood. Youre not going to die, are you?] Chapter 5 - 5 5 – The world is so big I want to see it_1 ?Chapter 5: Chapter 5 C The world is so big, I want to see it_1 Chapter 5: Chapter 5 C The world is so big, I want to see it_1 [You sensed a bit of urgency in this persons tone.] [This was the first time you felt someones goodwill in this world.] [You wanted to ask this person some questions, but you were slowly losing consciousness due to excessive blood loss.] [Poor Traveler, you passed out.] [Your Life Value was draining away] [In a daze, you felt as if you were being carried by someone.] [What awaits you next?] [Would you like to fast forward to the next event node?] Below the text, a white progress bar was moving forward very slowly. Luo Xi dragged it all the way to the end. X30. While waiting for the progress bar to climb, Luo Xi reached for the water cup on his bedside table. He hadnt had a drink since last night, and his throat felt as dry as if it was filled with charcoals. It was then that he finally noticed something strange happening on his bedside table. Fuck! The no-brand alarm clock he had bought cheaply from Pinduoduo was spinning wildly, at a frighteningly fast speed. Whats happening? Is the clock broken? Or is it caused by this text-based game again? Luo Xi wondered as he tried to drag the accelerated progress bar in the game back. X1. In an instant, the clocks speed returned to normal, ticking away calmly. Luo Xi was profoundly shocked. Not only could he take items out of the game, but the games acceleration also seemed to really affect the speed of time in reality? No wonder he felt like it had passed midnight so quickly last night after playing the game casually; it must have been because of this text-based game. No, it wasnt yet certain that the game could truly affect time. The game might only be affecting him. It altered his perception of time. Luo Xi pulled down the status bar on his phone. The current time on his phone was 15:45, which matched the time shown on the alarm clock. He remembered that it was just after one oclock when he had woken up. All that time in between seemed to have been devoured by the games acceleration feature. In a certain sense, this game was indeed a time-consuming tool. Sear?h the n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Luo Xi did not continue to choose to accelerate the progress of the game. Since last night, he had been with an empty stomach and was extremely exhausted. If he didnt eat something soon, he might starve to death in his tiny rental room. After getting out of bed and putting on his slippers, Luo Xi didnt expect his legs to give out as soon as he stood up, along with dizziness and nearly collapsing to the ground. Too hungry to have strength? No, thats not right! This exhaustion of body and mind could not be simply caused by being hungry for one day. Is it because of the debuff that reduces all qualities from yesterday? The seemingly ridiculous cost of reducing all qualities by 60% had actually taken effect on his real body. What did this text game with incredible power represent? Was it officially released? Or, did the authorities know about it? Luo Xi remembered the notification stating that there were 100,000 beta test slots worldwide. It was not too many but not too few either, so aside from him, many other people were also playing this game? With a bunch of questions in mind, half an hour later, Luo Xi sat in a Huangmen chicken rice restaurant near his company. Boss, Ill have a large portion of Huangmen chicken rice, mildly spicy. Alright, just a moment. Luo Xi sat on the stool, calming his rapidly beating heart. Just walking two kilometers made him feel like he had run a 1000-meter test; he had never felt so weak before. Luo Xi suspected that he might not even be able to beat a primary school student at this point. On his way here, he had already confirmed that there was no discussion about Dawn on the internet. The authorities might have controlled the flow and distribution of related information. Luo Xi quickly realized this fact. So after he searched for Dawn, he also pretended to search for Dead by Daylight and even checked in with a few streamers watching them play games on their live streams. He hoped to bluff his way through and not get interrogated for it. Luo Xi now fully realized the situation. He could take out items from the game. The progress bars speeding feature, whose real effect on time flow had yet to be confirmed. The negative status that affected his own body. And another question, those shitty talents wouldnt also work in reality, would they? Thinking back on all the things that had happened since yesterday, Luo Xis face gradually turned pale. Damn it, it all really seemed to match up. Does that mean I have to be broke and unlucky for my whole life? After finishing his meal, Luo Xi entered the office building nearby. He decided to resign this afternoon; his internship period was almost enough, and there was no need to continue putting up with the nonsense from the team leader. It would be better to return to school and take it easy. On the seventh floor of the office building, Prosperous Engineering Co., Ltd. What did you say? You want to resign today? When Chen Chen saw Luo Xi, he had initially wanted to curse him on the spot for ditching work and hanging up the phone, but Luo Xi beat him to it by announcing his resignation first. This caught Chen Chen off guard. It was true that Luo Xi was insubordinate, but as a university student, his working and learning abilities were quite strong. The manager had asked him to keep an eye on this student and preferably keep him in the company with a signed contract after his internship ended. Then, maybe with some promises and PUA for a few months, the company would gain a young and energetic reserve talent. The industry was not doing well lately, and recruiting was difficult, so subsequent talent reserves were very important. But now Luo Xi ditched half a day of work and came to resign in the afternoon. Was it because Chen Chens words yesterday were too harsh? Impossible. Absolutely impossible. Chen Chen denied it was because of his own doing. It must be because this guy was too sensitive, not being able to take even a few critical words. Even if he got a permanent position, he probably wouldnt last long. Luo Xi nodded and said, Yes, write me a resignation letter. Ill leave this afternoon, and also give me my internship certificate. Chen Chen said sternly, You havent submitted a preliminary resignation, and even during an internship, you have to notify the company three days in advance. Leaving like this will cause the company losses, and I will have to deduct from your salary. How much? asked Luo Xi. At least 300, and you wont get attendance and subsidies for the month. Oh, then deduct it. Give me a copy of the resignation letter. Honestly, Luo Xi didnt really care about those few hundred dollars right now. Though he was quite poor, having to pay for his meals using credit, he had some money in a mutual fund. If worst comes to worst, he could just sell some of it to tide him over. Ten minutes later, Chen Chen, with his hair nearly exploding in anger, stared at the resignation letter Luo Xi had flippantly thrown down. The reason for resignation Luo Xi wrote was: [This team leader is an idiot, I feel like I cant work here anymore.] (crossed out) [The world is so big, I want to see it.] Chapter 6 - 6 6 Are You Really a Pervert Traveler_1 ?Chapter 6: Chapter 6 Are You Really a Pervert, Traveler_1 Chapter 6: Chapter 6 Are You Really a Pervert, Traveler_1 On the way back, the thought of Chen Chens constipated expression filled Luo Xi with such delight that even her steps became lighter. She had been disgusted by this guy several times over the past few months. Today, she finally had the chance to stand up to him and disgust him in return. However, her pleasure soon faded. Luo Xi glanced at her phone, feeling a tinge of melancholy. For no clear reason, she got involved in this abnormal event, and she wasnt sure if that was good or bad. As a senior student who hadnt graduated yet, her future was already uncertain, and now it seemed she had veered off onto an even stranger path with no sign of returning to the normal track. Luo Xi didnt follow her original path back but instead headed towards a nearby park. The Riverside Park. The last rays of the setting sun sprinkled over the flowing river, casting an intoxicating red hue. Luo Xi found a bench and sat down. By this time, the games progress bar had climbed to four-fifths of the way full. Speed maxed out. X30. In an instant, all the passersby in Luo Xis vision became distorted figures. Meanwhile, the progress bar climbed rapidly. It might have felt like only a minute or two had passed to Luo Xi, but the remaining progress bar was nearly full. At the very last bit of the progress bar, Luo Xi stopped accelerating, stood up, and stretched herself, her neck feeling a bit sore. A middle-aged fisher approached from the river bank, offering a cigarette with a hearty laugh, Young man, Ive seen you sitting here for half an hour, barely moving. Youve got some patience! Fancy joining me for some fishing? Thanks, but I dont smoke, Luo Xi declined the cigarette the fisher offered and pointing at herself, she asked, Sir, do you really think Ive been sitting still for half an hour? The fisher was taken aback, confused, Isnt that the case? Luo Xi shook her head, Im not sure myself. The fisher: He took back the cigarette quietly and went back to his spot. With two and a half years of fishing experience, he thought this young man might be a promising beginner, but it seems he thought too much. Luo Xi couldnt help but laugh. From the fishers reaction, it seemed the acceleration of progress only affected her, perhaps? She looked at her phone. The progress bar had reached the end. New text appeared. [Traveler, you have come to your senses] [Before you lies a wooden ceiling full of mold and holes, and you can even hear the sound of rats running across it] [A sharp pain comes from your thigh, excessive blood loss makes you feel weak all over, your character in the Dream World now has all qualities decreased by 70%] [You sit up from the bed and take a look at your surroundings] [No one else is in the room, only a candle burns quietly on the table, and the bed you were lying on looks very old, as if it hasnt been used for a long time] [Who brought you here?] [You hobble off the bed] [In the corner of the room, theres an old wooden cabinet. Do you want to explore it?] Without hesitation, Luo Xi clicked yes. [Yes] [You opened the cabinet and started to explore] [Exploring] [You find: old clothes, an old clothes rack] [Old clothes] [Quality: White (Common)] [Category: Clothing] [Attributes: Cold-resistance +1] [Description: Although very old, its evident that these clothes belonged to a little girl. They show no signs of having been worn for a long time] [Note: Traveler, are you a pervert?] ? Slander! This is slander! If you tell me these belonged to someone elses little girl, would I open it? Will it? Um.. [Squeak] [A girl pushed the door open, her face filled with shock as she looked at you, and in your hand was a short skirt] Luo Xi thought this was probably the end for him. [She will scream in three seconds, what will you do?] [Go up and cover her mouth] [Run out the door] Luo Xi decisively chose the second option. [Foolish Traveler, in an attempt to preserve your innocence, you wish to leave as quickly as possible, but youve forgotten about the injury to your leg. The moment you exerted force, you collapsed on the ground, face-planting in a most canine manner, and at the same moment the girl who entered let out a scream] I mean, if Im going to fall either way, is there a difference between the two options? sea??h th Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [You feel the world spinning around you] [Before you pass out again, you hear someone shouting Aina, what happened?] [And youve lost consciousness again] A new progress bar appears at the bottom of the text. Luo Xi looks up at the sky. He wonders if he should say wtf. This damn game will definitely raise your blood pressure if you play it too much. Its already dark huh. Without notice, the afterglow has faded, the moon has risen into the branches, seemingly weaving through the clouds, while only the Fishers and he remain motionless. This time, Luo Xi didnt accelerate the progress, he quietly waited for half an hour, and the progress bar filled up. [Traveler, youve come to once again] [The noise of you getting up startled someone opposite you] [Across the bed, a somewhat childish voice exclaimed, Ah! Youre awake!] [You raise your head to look over, the speaker is a girl with long brown-black hair, perhaps only around thirteen or fourteen, her sparkling tea-gold beautiful eyes met yours for two seconds, and then something atop her head twitched] [Your Confusion Level +30] [What is that?] [A pair of animal-like ears?] [The girl immediately got up and ran out the door, shouting, Weier sister, that person you brought here is awake again, come here quickly!] [You watch the girls retreating back, wondering if youre seeing things] [Its not just animal earstheres also a fluffy tail peeking out from under her skirt through a gap at the side] Woooah? Luo Xi suddenly feels the game is getting interesting now. [Your Confusion Level +20] [Your Happiness Level +50] [Note: Why does this make you happy? Are you really a pervert, Traveler?] Shut up, you idiotic game text! Just type your words properly! Luo Xi continues tapping on the screen, feeling a bit guilty. [Soon, two people enter the room] [One of them is the girl who ran out earlier] [The other is a girl with light white, or perhaps silver-white long hair, also dressed in a white dress. However, to say shes a young girlshes actually not much older than the other girl, probably around fifteen or sixteen at most?] [You notice that on the head of this girl, there are also a pair of animal ears, cute and small just like the Xiao Bai cat your family used to have] [Besides that, a slender tail is swaying lightly behind the girl, its not as bushy as the other girls Big Tail, but it looks quite graceful] [Your Happiness Level +33] [Note: Traveler, you are so weird] [The girl asks you, How do you feel, can you get out of bed?] [Her voice is as pleasant and ethereal as rain on a quiet mountain, you find it strangely familiar, and then you see the girls pale red eyes] [Turns out shes the same person you saw outside Winter City, all wrapped up in a yellow hood] [Shes a cute girl indeed] [Your Happiness Level +10] [Perhaps sensing your stare, a look of discomfort appears on the girls face, she turns away, leaving you with a view of her delicate profile, You lost a lot of blood, I brought you back and bandaged you up. Now that youre awake, you should leave quickly, I dont allow strangers to stay overnight.] Chapter 7 - 7 7 This Little Loli Might Be Easier to ?Chapter 7: Chapter 7 This Little Loli Might Be Easier to Deceive_1 Chapter 7: Chapter 7 This Little Loli Might Be Easier to Deceive_1 [At this moment, another girls voice, soft and gentle, rose] [Weier sister, its already dark outside, and the whole Grey Stone Street wont take in someone with an unknown background like him. Letting him go might freeze him to death.] Weier? Luo Xi naturally associated the name with a blue-haired little Lolita from some card game. [The girl named Weier said, What does that have to do with us? Just because others wont take him in, does it mean we have to?] [Then why did you bring him back, Weier sister? Wouldnt it have been better to just ignore him?] [Thats true but this is different. I just dont want to watch someone die in front of me, and we still dont know what kind of person he is. He could be a dangerous and suspicious character, we cant let him stay with us overnight.] [Aina understands, Weier sister, you are upset because he touched the underwear you wore when you were younger, right!] [No anyway, we cant let him stay at our house. Hey, did you hear what I said? Get up and hurry out.] [The cat-eared girl stood with her hands on her hips, staring at you fiercely, but the swaying tail and ears made her quite cute] [Your Happiness Level +13] [But Weier sister, Aina really doesnt think hes a bad guy. If he were, you wouldnt have brought him back, right?] [Traveler, you know what you should say. The girl who brought you back and saved your life doesnt want you to stay, but the girl scared by your actions wants to keep you for the night.] [After all, its rare to meet someone you can talk to, a very rare opportunity to understand this world, and you dont want to give up.] [What is your choice?] [ Ask if you can stay for one night and offer some sort of compensation.] [ Use force to take over this place.] [ Leave, dragging your heavily injured body.] Luo Xi pondered for a moment and chose the first option. With the damn poor talent at play, it probably wont be long before the last of his money is gone; he might as well make use of it. As for using force, his game character didnt have any real strength; if these two Lolitas hung him up and beat him, that would be a joke. [You took out the only gold coin left from your Dreamland sack.] [Under their puzzled gazes, you slapped the gold coin on the bed board, saying, This is all the money I have left. Can I please stay here for one night and ask you a few more questions? I will leave tomorrow. As for messing with your clothes, Im sorry, I didnt do it on purpose.] [The cat-eared girl had not yet replied when the other girl threw herself over, her eyes sparkling as she said, Weier sister, hes giving money, look its a gold coin! It could be enough for us to eat steamed sweet potatoes for a long, long time. Why not let him stay just for one night?] [Ainas Favorability towards you +5] [Current Favorability level of Aina towards you is: 50 (Barely Trusting)] [Ding! Number of Friendly characters towards you has reached two.] [Character Relationship Module Unlocked] A new bright spot appeared at the top of the game. Luo Xi tapped it. [The current known character information is as follows:] [Weier] [Race: Human Clan] [Favorability: 50 (Barely Trusting)] [Description: She reluctantly trusts you but is somewhat suspicious of your background. She thinks you are a silly and clumsy fool.] [Aina] [Race: Human Clan] [Favorability: 50 (Barely Trusting)] [Description: Seems like a little Lolita who loves money. She saw you taking their childhood clothes and got scared, but money talks!] [Note: Compared to the bigger one, isnt the smaller one easier to deceive? Traveler, are you tempted?] Luo Xi: He closed the module nonchalantly and continued tapping the screen, refreshing the text. [The cat-eared girl seemed somewhat tempted, but she still shook her head and said, No, if he has money, he can find some other family to stay with.] [But he chose our home, and were already out of money. The little food we have left wont last us many more days.] [Ill figure something out. If worse comes to worst, theres still relief food to be had.] [By the time you think of a solution, well be starved to death. Besides, I heard that the Shining Church people all left Winter City not long ago, and last week the city has stopped distributing relief food to the residents of Grey Stone Street. Didnt you know, sister?] [The cat-eared girl fell silent.] [Of course, she knew.] [There will always be a way] [What way? Weve got nothing left to sell at home. Sister, youre not going to work for the Snake and Rat Meeting again, are you? Theyre all bad people! Have you forgotten what happened to mom? Anyway, you absolutely cannot go! If you go, Aina will bash her head against this door panel until shes dead!] [Ah] [The cat-eared girl sighed softly. She came over to collect the gold coins from the bed and said to you, Ill take your money, but theres no need for so much. Four silver coins will be enough. Two of them can be considered as payment for saving your life and for lodging for one night. Ill get you some medicine with the other two silver coins later, and Ill return the rest to you tomorrow.] [Why only four silver coins?] [The cat-eared girl flicked her little sisters forehead, Or what? You little money-grubber, theres a limit to taking advantage of others.] [You interrupted to ask, How much purchasing power does one gold coin have?] [The girl looked at you strangely and answered your question.] [I dont know about other places, but here in Winter City, one gold coin is equal to 10 silver coins, 1,000 copper coins. A copper coin can buy about four jin of sweet potatoes. You do the math.] After a quick calculation, Luo Xi figured that normal sweet potatoes cost roughly two yuan per jin. If so, one copper coin in the game was about equivalent to eight yuan here, one silver coin was 800 yuan, and one gold coin 8,000 yuan. This purchasing power seemed reasonable. However, thinking of the two silver coins taken by the guard made Luo Xi feel a bit heartbroken. Sooner or later, hed make that damn NPC cough up the money with interest. [The cat-eared girl then said, You rest here for now. Remember not to mess with things in the room again, or I will immediately kick you out Never mind, Ill tidy up and take things away later.] [Note: Traveler, she seems to think youre some kind of perverted, suspicious character too~] Shut up, shameless text! [You quickly shouted, Please wait, I have many questions I want to ask you.] [The cat-eared girl glanced at you sidelong, Then make it quick, I have to prepare dinner later. Dont think about playing tricks, you know the state of your body very well.] [Also, we have questions for you. Who are you? Whats your name? Why did you come here? Your accent clearly isnt from around Winter City.] [The little Lolita looked helplessly at her sister, Weier sister, you should introduce yourself before asking someones name.] [You always talk too much. The cat-eared girl spoke blandly, My name is Weier, and this is my sister Aina. Whats your name? Where do you come from?] Sarch* The Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Do you want to tell them your name?] [Tell them, my name is Luo Xi] [Conceal your real name] Luo Xi frowned. He didnt remember going through any real name verification. How did the game know his real name? Forget it, its useless to think about it now. With the game being so mysterious, it probably knew everything about his ancestors from eighteen generations back. Suppressing his concerns, Luo Xi chose the second option, to conceal his name. [You said, I am a nameless traveler from afar, having lost my memory and currently wandering.] [Nameless traveler? Memory loss?] [Raggedy uncle, are you making this up?] [The two cute beast-eared girls sat on the bed across from you, casting doubtful looks in your direction under the candlelight. They clearly didnt trust your tall tale.] [Shadows of tails and ears were cast on the wall, outlining peculiar shapes.] [Your Happiness Level +20] [Note: This person is obviously hopeless, farewell.] [Ding! Your current Happiness Level has reached 100] [Preconditions for triggering Talent have been satisfied] [Talent that can be triggered: Immersion (Happiness)] [Do you wish to trigger it?] [Note: Using this Talent will reset the accumulated points of the specified emotion value, and after its use, you will be able to manipulate your character with the highest degree of freedom. Under different perception triggering modes, depending on the type and amount of emotion value consumed, you will receive different kinds and degrees of ability bonuses. Under the current Talent level, each Talent activation should not last more than 10 minutes, with a cooldown time of 24 hours.] This Talent is Luo Xi naturally remembered this Talent that looked incredibly powerful. Manipulating the character with freedom, but in what way? [Yes] [You have consumed 132 points of Happiness Level] [Immersion (Happiness): Your character has received a +13.2% Strength enhancement, and your resistance to negative Spirit-type skills increased by +13.2%.] [Your character in the Dreamworld is now synchronizing Please wait for a moment.] [Traveler from the Otherworld, do not be surprised by what you are about to see, welcome to the journey of dreams~] Chapter 8 - 8 8 I Probably Traveled to Another Dimension ?Chapter 8: Chapter 8 I Probably Traveled to Another Dimension (jpg.)_1 Chapter 8: Chapter 8 I Probably Traveled to Another Dimension (jpg.)_1 Hey, werent you going to ask a question? What are you spacing out for? If you dont talk, were leaving. The gold coin in Weiers palm was getting warm from being held too tightly. She was starting to regret taking the money. Whats the deal with this person, anyway? After spouting a lie that not even an eight-year-old would believe, he just leaned against the bed without a word. If you think about it, this man really is suspicious. How could there be such a foolish person who, despite suffering from Mutation Syndrome, not only brazenly walked through the town gates but also tried to bribe the guards to enter the city after being discovered? Weier didnt know if she was bewitched, but somehow she ended up bringing this person back after he had fainted. What on earth was she thinking at that time? This man now refuses to even say his name. If hes not a suspicious character, then what is he? Could he be a wanted criminal in some city? Besides, talking to him is like speaking to a face with no emotion Uh At the head of the bed, the young man in tattered clothes dazedly lifted his head, eyeing the two petite girls opposite him, the dim candlelight reflecting their faces and figures. Then, the bewildered look faded away, twisting into an expression of pain. It hurts, it hurts, it hurts! The sharp pain from his thigh was telling Luo Xi that everything he experienced wasnt a dream but reality. The two Beast Eared Girls sitting on stools at the foot of the bed were also telling him that he had entered the world depicted in the text game. No longer just crude descriptions and a few lines of text; two living beings were now in front of him. I must have gone through to another world (jpg.) Whats with you, anyway? If you dont want to talk, forget it Weier walked over and took a look, noticing that there was something off about his gaze again. If before this man was able to communicate with them normally, his eyes were utterly dull, like the eyes of a dead person, and he was slow to react. It reminded Weier of those who had Mutation Syndrome and whose bodies had been eroded, people close to death. But now, there was a glint in his eyes. Luo Xi drawled, sucking the cool air, Its nothing, just hurt my wound. At that moment, he realized that he wasnt speaking the common language of Xia country. It seemed that a mysterious force automatically translated the words he wanted to say into another language. Luo Xi looked towards the cat-eared girl with light red eyes. Indeed, with eight years of experience as a cat owner, Luo Xi was certain that those were cat ears. Yay! White text appeared out of thin air in front of Luo Xi. [Your Happiness Level +5] Just like the text described, the cat-eared girl stood at most 1.5 meters tall, around fifteen or sixteen years old. Her hair color was between silver-white and gray. Half of her young, delicate face was hidden by her hair, and her light red eyes were beautiful. And that long cat tail, lively swishing behind her, was absolutely enchanting. As for the other, even younger girl with her tea gold eyes and slightly larger ears, she dragged a fluffy, soft yet spirited big tail behind her. Is that a dog? A wolf? Or a fox? No matter what she is, I really want to hug her and pet her to my hearts content. [Your Happiness Level +20] [Note: To think that you feel this way about such a young girl, Traveler, you really are a suspicious pervert!] To hell with the text, dont make me out to be some freaky Lolita fan, okay? This is just plain curiosity and appreciation! Which young male from Xia country doesnt like cute beast-eared girls? [Your Happiness Level +11] [Your Happiness Level +3] [Note: Heh~] Weier suddenly pulled her sister back a couple of steps, warily staring at Luo Xi. Clenching her small fist, she said coldly, What are you looking at? The cat-eared girl was starting to find his gaze a bit dangerous. Aina chimed in with an oblivious smile, Weier sister, this uncle seems to be looking at your tails and mine. [Weiers Favorability towards you -5] [Ainas Favorability towards you +3] Hmph, sick in the head. Weier was about to leave with her younger sister, Since theres nothing wrong, we will be leaving. Ill bring you a spare heat stone and dinner later. Sorry, please wait a moment longer. Luo Xi said, raising his hand wearily, Im really just a bit curious. Helpless, who would have thought the phenomenon of crossing over would be so bizarre, and who could have imagined that a beast-eared girl would actually exist? Lying. Weier turned her head back and sneered, Whats there to be curious about? Dont tell me you have never seen someone with Mutation Syndrome, arent you infected yourself? Luo Xi asked, What is Mutation Syndrome? Does it have to do with Variants? Weier turned her head intending to walk away. She really couldnt understand, why did this person insist on keeping them here with such poor conversation? Who in this world didnt know the meaning of these terms? Is it fun? Luo Xi spoke again, Add 1 silver coin, just accompany me for a chat for ten minutes. Weiers footsteps suddenly halted. [Note: As the saying goes, youll be soft-spoken if you eat others food and short-handed if you take their money. With your filthy monetary offensive forcing the girl to answer your questions, it must be said, Traveler, you are indeed garbage.] Isnt it, havent I already crossed over? Why is this damn text still relentlessly haunting me? Really, really? The little Lolita, Aina, broke free from her sisters hand, her tea-gold colored eyes sparkling at you, the two beautiful eyes nearly turning into $ symbols. A silver coin, Hey! [Ainas Favorability towards you +5] [Note: Indeed, this one is easier to fool.] Sister, why dont you go start cooking? Ill answer this sloppy uncles questions. Weier frowned, Aina, dont deal with him Its okay, sister. I dont think hes a bad person. Like the look in his eyes just now, although a bit strange, it wasnt disgusting, was it? Aina turned her head towards Luo Xi, pointing at the ears on her head, and said with an indifferent smile, Mutation Syndrome is what my sister and I have, like this. As for Variants, well, anyone infected by the Mutant Factor is called a Variant, no matter the level of erosion. I heard youre infected too, which is why the guards of Winter City wouldnt let you enter the city. [Updated item: Variant] [Variant] [Description: A general term for people infected by an entity known as Mutant Factor] Luo Xi continued to ask, What exactly is the Mutant Factor? The cat-eared girl questioned, Do you really not know anything? Its true you were recently infected and dont show any Mutation symptoms yet, but isnt this common knowledge? How could you not know Weier found Luo Xis lack of common knowledge simply incomprehensible. Where on earth did this person come from? Hes evidently older than them, but his understanding of the world is like that of a complete newbie. Simply put, how did he manage to live this long? Luo Xi spread his hands, Because I have amnesia. Believe it or not, but I really have lost my memory. Weier took a deep breath, her clenched fists becoming taut. She really wanted to punch this guy. Then listen up, Mutant Factor is Sister, dont say it, let Aina explain! Aina furrowed her slender brows, pondered for a while, and then uncertainly said, I remember now. The Mutant Factor comes from an Origin Beast of calamity level, also known as Calamity Factor, right, sister? Not only from calamity level, but from above calamity level, your half-baked knowledge Weier patted her little sisters head with resignation, Ill explain it. sea??h th N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Aina tilted her head, What about our dinner? Weier thought for a moment, then said, We wont eat sweet potatoes today. Aina, go boil some water; well have noodles later. Aina raised her hands in cheer, Yay! Ive been sick of those astringent old sweet potatoes for a long time! Luo Xi watched the interaction between the two sisters and felt inexplicably happy inside. [Your Happiness Level +22] [Recorded item: Mutant Factor] [Mutant Factor] [Description: A substance released from the body of an Origin Beast of calamity level or above, specific details unknown] [Please note, 7 minutes and 10 seconds remain in this sync time, please be aware of the time] Chapter 9 - 9 9 Eternal World Tree_1 ?Chapter 9: Chapter 9: Eternal World Tree_1 Chapter 9: Chapter 9: Eternal World Tree_1 Noodle time~ Noodle time~ Little Lolita Aina hummed a tune, her fluffy big tail swaying as she happily left the room. Now, in this room, only Luo Xi and Weier were left. Thanks. Luo Xi struggled to sit up from the hard bed. Lying there was truly tiring, and the bed was seriously uncomfortable for his back. No need for thanks. Since Aina is willing to trust you, theres no harm in answering a few questions. The cat-eared girl put away her smile and said, But the questions you asked earlier are the most basic common knowledge known to everyone. Do you really need me to explain them to you? Luo Xi nodded without a second thought. Weier gazed at Luo Xi for a while. Alright, go ahead and ask. Then the first question Luo Xi thought for a moment and then asked, What are those ears on your sisters head? Weier: Dont you find that a bit boring? Sister, thats where youre wrong. If someone asks, you should just answer. Aina suddenly popped her head in, deliberately twitching the ears on her head and smiling like a cunning fox. Aina has wolf ears, not dog or fox ears. Weier said with a deadpan expression, Go cook the noodles, and close the door. Okay~ Aina pulled her head back and then closed the door behind her. Luo Xi smiled, You and your sister seem to get along quite well. I dont need you to tell me that. Weier huffed. Smiling, Luo Xi asked, My second question, whats this Origin Beast you mentioned earlier? Weier: Even three-year-old children in this world probably knew what an Origin Beast was. Could this man really have amnesia? Luo Xi asked doubtfully, Cant you talk about it? Its not that. Weier shook her head gently, explaining: An Origin Beast is actually a non-human entity that has embarked on the road to Sublimation. The great will that created this world is absolutely fair, treating all beings equally. Under its influence, flawless and pure Yuan Su fills the entire world. Beasts, plants, and even minerals could sublimate and give birth to beings with transcendental strength. These transcendental beings are collectively known as Origin Beasts. And the thirty-two Eternal World Trees that support this world could also be considered the most primitive Origin Beasts. [Logged Item: Pure Yuan Su] [Logged Item: The Road to Sublimation] [Logged Item: Eternal World Tree] What are Yuan Su and the Road to Sublimation? And what is the Eternal World Tree? Luo Xi continued to ask. That Im starting to believe you really did lose your memory. Finally convinced that Luo Xi may have indeed lost his memory, Weier looked at him with a hint of pity. I cant describe what pure Yuan Su is with words, but perhaps youll be able to feel it yourself soon. We, as Mutation Patients, are far more sensitive to Yuan Su than ordinary people. As for the Road to Sublimation, most of the official roads are controlled by high-ranking individuals. Ordinary people cant know about them, so I cant answer your question. Then theres the Eternal World Tree Look there. She stood up, walked to the window of the room, slowly pulled out the latch, and pushed the window open to either side. The bright moonlight and the soft points of light entered the room, falling among the cat-eared girls silvery white hair. Luo Xi suddenly noticed that her temples were slightly curled, adding an extra bit of cuteness to this already adorable cat-eared girl. A gust of cold wind blew in from beside the cat-eared girl, making Luo Xi shrink his neck, but his eyes involuntarily glanced toward Weiers fluffy cat ears. He really wanted to pet them Would it be possible to pet them for a few minutes if he offered money? Weier scolded dissatisfiedly, What are you staring blankly at? I told you to look up front! Only then did Luo Xi snap back to reality. The white text adds a finishing touch. [Note: Traveler, are you still going to argue? Youre a suspicious pervert! Take him away!] Mock as you will, if this broken text could speak in XCWs voice, maybe hed even be thrilled. Luo Xi looked up and gazed outside. A gigantic tree, radiating warm, gentle light, stood not far away, its light forming a curtain like an inverted bowl covering the entire city. Beyond this tree, even more distant, there was an outline of an even larger tree that seemed to connect heaven and earth, hidden in the clouds. The cat-eared girl turned her body to face Luo Xi, her pale red pupils intently observing the expressions on his face. The original thirty-two pillars, also known as the Eternal World Trees, were the first creations that descended into this world alongside the great will, nurturing and blessing countless beings. The distant tree silhouette you see is one of the thirty-two pillars and also the foundation of Shining Country. It is the Eternal World TreeNoah. If you count all its branches, at least sixty million people are blessed by it. As for the one in front, that is the Divine Tree that protects Winter City. It is also an edge branch of the World Tree of Shining Country. It is because of its blessing that we people can sleep peacefully at night. [Recorded Entry: Winter Citys Divine Tree] [Recorded Entry: Shining Country] [Your astonishment +3] Luo Xi asked, Are you saying there are thirty-one trees of that size? That would be a sight from long ago, existing only in poetry and myth, Weier remarked softly. Its said that now less than half remain. Luo Xi expressed his confusion. Why are there so many fewer? Because there is nothing eternal in this world, everything will perish with the passage of time. The cat-eared girl closed one eye, fixing Luo Xi with a pale red gaze, and said deliberately, Therefore, the Eternal World Trees are not eternal either. Do you understand now? I see, I understandunderstand My ass. Luo Xi couldnt help but retort, Thats it? Your explanation is as clear as mud. Can you speak plainly and stop being so cryptic? Seeing Luo Xis frustrated look, Weiers mouth turned up slightly. She thought he was just simplistically stupid, but it turns out he has moments of agitation too. Dont be in a hurry, okay? The cat-eared girl closed the window and sat back down on the stool opposite the bed, saying casually, I really dont know the reason. All this I heard from others, but some speculate that the withering of the Eternal World Trees isnt a natural occurrence. It might be related to the Origin Disaster. Origin Disaster? [Recorded Entry: Origin Disaster] Weier exhaled deeply. They are the true apex of Origin Beasts, representing an unstoppable natural disaster, powerful enough to easily destroy a small country. Take, for example, the eighth Origin Disaster, the wind disaster Hurricane, whose aftermath just grazed Winter City ten years ago. I was very young back then, so my memory of it isnt very clear, but I heard from my mother that over ninety percent of the people on Grey Stone Street died in that event. Listening to you describe it, it does sound quite formidable Luo Xi, stroking his chin, then asked, By the way, where are your parents? Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room changed, and the already cold room became even more chilling to the bone. The cat-eared girl quietly looked at Luo Xi, her gaze tranquil, devoid of ripples like a pool of stagnant water. Sear?h the ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Is that also a question you need to ask? Sorry, forget I asked Luo Xi realized he might have touched a sensitive topic. If these two girls had parents at home, they surely would have come out to meet him by now. [Weiers favorability towards you -5] [Weiers favorability towards you -3] Ta-da! The noodles are ready, big sis, come and eat Eh, what are you doing? Fighting? Aina, wearing a white apron and holding a bowl of noodles, stood at the rooms doorway, looking puzzled into the room. No. Weier looked at Luo Xi, asking calmly, Do you have any other questions? Luo Xi shook his head. The duration of his gift was almost up. Asking questions for just 10 minutes and already losing 8 points of favorability, what a rip-off. Then thats good. The little Lolita brought the bowl of noodles in her hands over to the bed, softly saying, You, Raggedy Uncle, cant move around much, so here are your noodles. Big sis, yours is still on the table. Okay. Weier stood up and walked out of the room. After a while, her crisp voice drifted back in. One last piece of adviceIm not sure how you got infected, but those who are infected by inhaling Mutant Factors usually exhibit certain changes in their bodies after a period of time. From past cases, it seems to be quite painful, so be careful. If you die, I wont care, you know. Luo Xi paused slightly. [Time remaining for this synchronization: 0 seconds] [Traveler from another world, welcome to visit again~] Chapter 10 - 10 10 Please Dont Let This Traveler Go Crazy ?Chapter 10: Chapter 10: Please Dont Let This Traveler Go Crazy Here_1 Chapter 10: Chapter 10: Please Dont Let This Traveler Go Crazy Here_1 The moonlight was obscured by thick clouds, and a cool breeze rose, carrying strands of fine rain that floated down through the dark night. Kid, wake up. Its going to pour soon. Hey, hey, can you hear me? Hmm? Luo Xi felt someone shouting near his ear. He suddenly jerked his shoulders and sprang up from the park bench. With an exclamation, a dull thud of an object hitting the ground sounded beside him. What are you doing, hey my back ? Luo Xi looked in the direction of the voice and saw the middle-aged fisher, who had given him a cigarette earlier, sitting on the pebble path, rubbing his buttocks. Am I back? Luo Xi recalled his previous experience. Even though it was just a brief ten-minute experience, the details of the conversation with the two beast-eared girls were still vividly etched in his mind. What he saw, heard, felt, and experienced, all of it was extremely real. Were they real? Or were they just NPCs generated by the game? The fisher, seeing Luo Xi still standing there stupidly, said annoyed, What are you still standing there for? Help me up! Ah, sure, sorry. Luo Xi walked over and helped the fisher up, I just fell asleep there, are you okay? Impressive, you can even sleep outside like that. Arent you afraid of getting robbed? The fisher initially wanted to lash out, but seeing the young mans good attitude, he didnt bother saying much. Its going to be a heavy rain. I saw you didnt bring an umbrella so I came over to remind you. You better hurry home, kid. Did you get your clothes in? Its going to rain? Luo Xi looked up at the sky. Pop A raindrop happened to fall on his nose, bursting and scattering around. Soon after, large raindrops started to fall incessantly, spattering into damp circles on the road beneath the street lights. Its coming down hard, Im heading out, kid! The middle-aged fisher hurriedly grabbed his fishing gear and made a run for it. This kind of downpour wasnt good for fishing, but after the rain stopped, itd be a good time to catch some big ones. Luo Xi stood soaked in the downpour for quite a while before he began to walk towards the direction of the road. His body felt even more tired The negative status the game had brought him made him feel weak and listless all day, even his reflexes had become much slower. In the future, hed better die less in the game; this feeling really wasnt pleasant. I need to hail a cab Ugh, why wont my phone turn on? *Crap*! Half an hour later. Shivering, Luo Xi made it back to his rented room. Achoo! An autumn rain brings the chill, and todays rain was especially cold, bone-chillingly so. Luo Xi plugged in his phone and saw the screen flash with the charging symbol, which finally put his mind at ease. If his phone had broken, he wouldnt have the money to buy a new one right now, and he also didnt know if the game could be installed on another phone. After a fifteen-minute hot shower, the chill in his body gradually faded away, yet the weariness remained. After the bath, Luo Xi lay on the bed and opened Dawn. [Traveler, you have returned] [During your previous logout period, your character entered a minimal interaction state. Here is the interaction record:] [You consumed the noodles personally cooked for you by Aina] [Your Satiation Level +40] [After the meal, Weier brought you a warm spherical stone, informing you to sleep with it at night, and also brought you a bowl of medicinal soup for healing] [You drank the medicinal soup] [Ding! Your recovery ability increased by 30% (lasts 1 day)] [Holding the warm stone, you fell into sleep] [Note: The Grand Will has enhanced the Travelers recovery abilities for common injuries in the Otherworld] [Injuries are recovering] sea??h th novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [It is estimated that all injuries will recover in 18 hours] [Would you like to wake up your character early?] Luo Xi chose No. Since it would take 18 hours to fully recover, there was no rush to play again tomorrow; he was too tired to even keep his eyes open now. However, the cat-eared Lolita was clearly angry yet still took care of his character as per their agreement. What a good cat cat she was. Too bad he couldnt pet her. And that wolf-eared little Lolitas big tail, he really wanted to bury his head in it and take a deep sniff cough. Right, he could almost go back to school tomorrow, and it just so happened that the day after was when the rent was due, so there was no need to extend the lease now. The cafeteria at Haicheng University, which he hadnt eaten at in months, was starting to be missed. Amidst intense sleepiness and fatigue, Luo Xis head tilted, and he soon fell into a deep sleep. Hu~ . The next morning. After settling the deposit with his landlord, Luo Xi, carrying a suitcase, set off for Haicheng University. Having arrived in the summer, he hadnt brought much luggage, which meant he didnt have to lug around big and small bags. His condition was still a bit off today because he had died in the game yesterday, so the due 20% reduction in all qualities had arrived as expected. But at least he was feeling better than the utterly spiritless state he was in yesterday. Haicheng University. After getting out of the subway station, Luo Xi hailed a car to take him directly to the university entrance. He stood outside the gate, looking somewhat melancholically at the scenery inside. People coming and going, the university bursting with vitality and energy. It had only been a few months, but it felt like an eternity had passed. It was hard to imagine, when he finally graduated and came back after a long time, what kind of feelings he would have upon seeing this familiar gate again? Building 8, Zone C, the dormitory. Luo Xi skillfully swiped his card to bypass the entrance security, carrying two suitcases up to the fourth floor. He had wanted to surprise his roommates, but after knocking for a long time, nobody came to open the door. Then, he remembered that three of his sons in the dormitory were either interning with him, or the remaining two were cramming for exams, probably neglecting sleep and food at the library by now. Luo Xi could only rummage through his bulging backpack to find the tiny dorm key. At this stage in their senior year, most students who remained on campus wouldnt stay in their dorms during the day; theyd be grinding away in the library. Of course, there were also those students who liked to lay low and avoid work, as well as those whose families had already paved the way for them, simply waiting to graduate and inherit a fortune back home. After entering the dorm, Luo Xi expertly climbed onto his bunk. He took an old piece of clothing to wipe the dust off the bed, then took out the mattress and blanket from the closet and slapped them down onto the bed. Then, the whole person lay down on the bed, resting his head on the pillow. Comfortable! The hard wooden bed in the rental room was nowhere near as good as the universitys desk bed. Although small, it was very comforting. Lying flat like this, it was indeed more pleasant at the university. With the last half of a semester to go, he could also take the time to think about his future life plans. Luo Xi turned on his phone and opened Dawn. [Dear Traveler, your injuries have now fully recovered.] [Would you like to get up?] [Yes] [You have left the bed and come to the door.] [You push open the door.] [Outside is a simple living space with complete furniture, and at this moment, a fluffy little cutie with her back to you is leaning on the edge of the windowsill.] [The noise you made when opening the door has attracted her attention, and she turns her head.] [The dark-brown hair reflects ink-jade-like luster in the bright sunlight, the light fluffy fur inside the two wolf ears is very clear, and the petite figure and fluffy big tail seem somewhat mismatched.] [Want to pet~] [Your Happiness Level +10] [Want to pet~] [Note: This traveler, please create the tortoises load for the barbershop, or youll be dragged away.] Luo Xi: Why is this game text so adept at internet slang? [Aina says in surprise, Slovenly uncle, youre awake? I thought you were going to sleep yourself to death.] [You want to correct this little Lolitas way of addressing you when the door next to you is pushed open by someone. A charming cat-eared girl in a semi-transparent nightgown stretches and yawns as she walks out of the room, and then she sees you.] [You and she stare at each other for ten seconds.] [Ding! Weiers Embarrassment Value +10] Chapter 11 - 11 11 Difficult Journey_1 ?Chapter 11: Chapter 11: Difficult Journey_1 Chapter 11: Chapter 11: Difficult Journey_1 [Weier went back to her room to change clothes and returned as if nothing had happened, not mentioning the earlier incident.] sea??h th N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [As a traveler with some smarts but not too much, you naturally didnt bring up the matter either.] [But Aina laughed and said, Sister Weier, did you forget we had a guest, haha, youre so used to sleeping in and getting muddle-headedow ow ow.] [You watched as the little Lolita was silenced and violently thrown back into the room by her sister, daring not to utter another word.] [Are you healed?] [Weier frowned as she examined the part of your leg that was bandaged, seemingly curious about how you could walk normally in less than a day. Was that medicine really that effective? But whatever.] [Weier handed you 5 silver coins, saying, This is to pay you back, and weve taken another 5. Out of those, 4 are for the healing potion and your services, and 1 is for the cost of the questions you asked us. That was our agreement yesterday, wasnt it? If theres no problem, then you can leave.] [You have obtained 5 silver coins.] [The cat-eared girl brought you a piece of steamed sweet potato from the kitchen for breakfast and then opened the door, urging you to quickly leave their home.] [You left through the door she opened, feeling disheartened.] [The door closed behind you with a snap.] [Your Happiness Level -20] Luo Xi didnt know why, but he felt somewhat dejected, his finger taps at the screen losing strength. Could the fluctuations in Happiness Level affect the real him too? [But soon, you picked yourself up. As a traveler from another realm, you dont belong here, right?] [Outside the door was a wall-mounted outdoor staircase structure, a makeshift iron staircase hanging on the wall. Going down this staircase would take you to the road below.] [The environment here was somewhat similar to some of the urban villages you had seen during your research back then.] [So they lived in such a poor place.] [After descending from the third floor, you stood on a decrepit street and realized this street was built alongside the city wall of Winter City and did not belong to the city proper. The wall was at least thirty meters high, like an insurmountable mountain.] [A towering tree that could rival a several hundred-meter skyscraper stood at the center of Winter City up ahead. No matter how many times you, the traveler, looked at it, you found it to be an undefinable creation.] [On this street, nearly everyone was wrapped up in their clothes, covering their heads and bodies, hustling along.] [Hello there, young man.] [The voice that rang out beside you gave you a fright.] [Turning your head, you saw a middle-aged man with a kind face, wearing a white hat, carrying a shoulder pole with some sweet potatoes hanging from it, standing to your right with a smile.] [How did he appear beside you?] [Your Confusion Level +10] [You asked, Can I help you with something?] [Nothing, nothing. I saw you come out from Liyas place, right? The middle-aged man looked up the stairs and said warmly, Did something happen? Yesterday little Weier even bought some healing potion from me.] [Your Alertness Value +10] [You said, That was for me.] [Oh, I see. The middle-aged man waved his hand upward, laughing, Weier, remember to bring Aina to Uncle Nosss house for dinner next time.] [You looked up to see the cat-eared girl leaning out of the third-floor window, also waving and smiling, No need, Uncle Noss, we have food at home, thank you, and thanks for your medicine.] [The middle-aged man put the sweet potatoes from his shoulder pole by the stairs, saying with a laugh, Ill leave these here for you two, come down and get them later.] [How could we do that, you should take them back, Uncle Noss.] [Uncle has plenty of food at home, I am just by myself.] [Traveler, you found that you could not join in the conversation, so you quietly moved on.] [You walked aimlessly on the street for a period of time] [Suddenly someone shouted from behind, Make way, everyone in front! If you get hit, its your own fault!] [As someone shrieked something about the Snake and Rat Meeting, a strangely shaped four-wheeled vehicle sped past you, whipping up gusts of wind.] [People on the street vanished rapidlysome retreating into houses, others darting into alleyways, desperately trying to avoid them as if they were fleeing from deadly beasts.] [You remembered the wolf-eared little Lolita mentioning something about Snake and Rat Meeting last night, but regretfully, you hadnt asked in detail.] [Ding! Talent: Many Misfortunes has been triggered.] [On that four-wheel truck, a burly man sat among the load of goods at the back, his eyes fierce and menacing.] [Thats when he spotted you.] [Your fearless demeanor, somewhat handsome face, and vacant stare caught the mans attention.] [You see, almost none of the residents of Grey Stone Street dared to defy the Snake and Rat Meeting, and very few were bold enough to confront its members like you did.] [The man gave you a smile.] [The mans favorability towards you increased by 20.] [The mans possessive desire towards you increased by 39.] [Traveler, you suddenly felt a chill.] [Your Happiness Level decreased by 10.] [Do you want to hide in the alleyways?] [Yes.] [You hid around a corner, and the four-wheel truck soon vanished from your sight. You thought to yourself that this might just be a chance encounter. More importantly, you realized that this world actually possessed a certain level of technology. At least, that four-wheel truck wasnt steam-powered; there was no billowing black smoke coming out of its rear.] [Traveler, now you can choose to explore Grey Stone Street or leave this place to find a new town and residence.] The truck full of various grains arrived unobstructed in the depths of Grey Stone Street. No one dared to stop them, except for those high-ranking persons who regarded the residents of Grey Stone Street as cheap labor within Winter City. On this street where Variants clung to the existence of Winter City, they were the underground kings who controlled everything. Eventually, the truck stopped in front of a warehouse. A dark-skinned man got out of the drivers cabin and cursed, Damn, the one-pound Essence Crystal I just replaced five days ago is almost drained. This garbage car is just an iron waste that eats rocks and doesnt go far. Sooner or later, Ill dismantle it and get the boss to replace it with a better one Whats wrong, Black Snake? What are you looking at? The burly man looked interestedly in the direction they had come from. He jumped down from the truck, his fierce face breaking into an eerie smile. White Rat, Ive found an interesting little fellow who piqued my curiosity, he said. Ugh who caught your twisted attention now? White Rats expression instantly stiffened, and he began to feel sorry for that unknown interesting little fellow. To be honest, if Black Snake hadnt made it clear he didnt like dark-skinned people, White Rat would have even worried about his own safety at night. White Rat whispered a caution, You better be careful. The situation lately seems a bit off. Dont provoke some big-shots wrath, or if the boss finds out, hell flay you alive. Black Snakes face broke into a scornful smile, You neednt worry about that, and do you really think those city big-shots would care about us Variants? They wouldnt come to a place like this. By now, they have probably already left this city. White Rat was taken aback, What do you mean? All the members of Noahs Church in Winter City left last week, didnt they? Black Snake asked. White Rat nodded, They left, but whats that got to do with what youre saying? Black Snakes eyes grew complex, hatred flickering through them, Its normal for you not to know, since you only came to Grey Stone Street five years ago to take over White Rats position and perform tasks with me. But Ive lived here for more than a decade. Do you know why the people from Noahs Church came and why they left? White Rat shook his head blankly. In this godforsaken place like Winter City, if it werent for a vein of Essence Crystal nearby, I doubt Noahs Church would bother opening a branch here. Vampires never go where theres no blood to suck. Theyre just here to amass wealth, Black Snake said as he began to laugh madly. Do you know? Ten years ago, it was the same. The people from Noahs Church left in advance, and then, a week later, Wind Disaster Hurricane struck. You know the outcome too. Even though we were just grazed by the fringe effects, almost all the residents of Grey Stone Street nearly died. Even within Winter City, protected by the main force of the Divine Tree, nearly a thousand people were injured or killed. White Rat raised his voice, Are you saying that they knew in advance about the arrival of the Wind Disaster and left Winter City early? Then why didnt they inform you? Whats the point? Black Snake retorted with a sneer. Are we, who are treated as less than dogs, any different wherever we go? Even the pure-blooded humans in the city were kept in the dark, let alone us. Besides, even if you know now, would you dare cross the terrifying night and the vast distances to seek refuge somewhere else? White Rat fell silent. Indeed, even if they knew everything, where could they go? Winter City was one of the few large cities in the area, its Divine Trees blessings far surpassing those of the few dozen-meter-tall trees in the villages. If the Wind Disaster came through here again, fleeing to other nearby villages could mean dying even faster. Does the boss not know either? White Rat asked. What do you think? The boss has connections inside the city; he probably knew a long time ago. He can enter the city anytime, and under the core blessing range of the Divine Tree, how could the boss have any trouble? In the last Wind Disaster, only those tens of thousands within the core range of the Winter Divine Tree were unscathed, Black Snake explained. He waved his hand dismissively and headed back the way they came, Of course, this is just my guess. Maybe Im just overthinking. After surviving from the ruins ten years ago, I understood one thingno matter what the future holds, enjoying life while you can is whats most important. Now, Im going to find that little fellow. Its not easy to come across someone who excites me like this; I cant let him slip away.

[Talent: Repulsion of the Same Sex has been triggered, the owners favorability toward you -50] [Current favorability of the owner towards you: -50 (Dislike)] [The owners fear of you +20] Luo Xi curses under his breath, Damn this talent for really being a pitfalllosing 50 favorability right at the start, hell truly become the public enemy of men at this rate. But whats with this sudden increase in fear? Isnt his game character a replica of his real-life appearance? He shouldnt look that frightening, should he? [After serving you the food, the rabbit-eared owner nervously asks, Sir, you seem unfamiliar. Could it be that you come from another town?] [Youre taken aback for a moment, but you quickly understand. No wonder the people on the street fled at the sight of you, fearing you might be some evil-doer from another town] [Your response?] [ Tell him: I am just a traveler who has lost my memory] [ With a fierce tone, counter-question: What do you want by asking this? Whats your purpose?] Luo Xi, in a playful mood, chooses option 2. [You slam the table hard, stand up, and counter-question: What do you want by asking that? Who sent you? What is your purpose? Come clean!] [The rabbit-eared owners fear of you +50] [The owner is immediately scared to tears, kneeling on the ground, crying profusely] [He begs for mercy, saying, Im sorry, sir, I was just curious and asked. Please spare my life, dont kill me, I still have an eight-year-old daughter to take care of at home.] [You are instantly dumbfounded] Luo Xi admits hes dumbfounded as well. The owner was so easily frightened, not nearly as clever as those lolitas. [You help the rabbit-eared owner to his feet and assure him that you are just a traveler, not some serial killer] [However, the owner does not believe you and is too scared to accept the money for the meal. Now he just wants you to quickly finish eating and leave his shop] [Under his fearful gaze, you haphazardly have your meal and when you step out of the restaurant, the door quickly closes behind you] Luo Xi: Should he think about getting his in-game character a hood to wear for the time being?

[Suddenly, a burly man blocked your path.] [This was the same man who had seen you on that truck earlier.] [Mans possessiveness towards you +30] [Danger!] [Traveler, the approaching figure does not bode well. You sense the powerful strength and malice emanating from him.] [Having suffered at the hands of the old lady and the guards, you know all too well how weak you currently are and thus make a cautious choice.] [You can choose to flee, of course, you can also choose to bow your head and surrender.] [What is your choice?] [The winds strongrun for it!] [Bow your head and surrender, offering your precious xx.] Luo Xi: ] What the hell is this? Has my game character become a coward or what? [One] [You glace at the burly man, who gives you an ugly smile. Hes about to say something, but you turn and take off running.] [Your rabbit-like speed leaves the burly man behind, stunned for a moment.] [After snapping out of it, he roars with a sinister laugh, Dont run, come to Lord Black Snake here, Ive got something good, and starts chasing after you with large strides.] [Ding! Black Snake has issued you an optional quest: Dont run, come over here for something good. Would you like to accept?] [Reward for completing the quest: [Black Snake Lords Blessing]] [Of course, you can also decline, Traveler. However, if you refuse, your pursuer wont stop coming either.] Damn, what a weird quest. [By now, youve put over a hundred meters between you and him. You duck into a side alley, take a few turns, and soon you dont even know where you are any longer.] [Youre frantically running for your life] Reading the text description, Luo Xis breathing also grows tense and hurried, his heartbeat pounding fiercely as if a fire had ignited within him.] [All of a sudden, a pair of hands reach out from the ground, pulling you underground into a dim environment.] [Youre trying to struggle] [Someone whispers in your ear, Dont talk! If you dont want to die, hold your breath.] [You seriously hold your breathnot really because the person speaking has a pleasant voice.] [After about ten seconds, urgent footsteps can be heard, then they gradually fade away.] [Several minutes later, a bright light emanates from a round lamp on the ground, illuminating the area.] [Its a small square room of less than ten square meters.] [The room is filled with many books, and theres a ladder in the corner leading to a hole above; other than that, there are no doors or windows.] [Two adorable cat ears wiggle in front of your eyes.] [As you expected, the person who pulled you in is the same cat-eared girl who saved your life yesterday.] [Weier looks at you with furrowed brows and speaks in a tone of disbelief, How did you manage to get involved with the Snake and Rat Meeting so quickly after going out? And with Black Snake, that disgusting homosexual who likes men.] [Your Happiness Level -10] [Your Shock Level +50] Luo Xi is also shocked.] Since when does a text game include a homo?! No wonder that NPC chased my game character halfway down the street! Chapter 13 - 13 13 Changes in the Body_1 ?Chapter 13: Chapter 13: Changes in the Body_1 Chapter 13: Chapter 13: Changes in the Body_1 The Black Snake should have left by now. Weiers crisp voice rang out as she said to you, In the future, its best not to mess with the people of the Snake and Rat Meeting. They have significant influence here in Grey Stone Street and even have connections with some figures within Winter City. Many who cross them during the day are found dead before night falls. You nodded vigorously, knowing all too well the dangers of this world. Disasters always seemed to loom around you, before and likely in the future. Ever since you received the Great Wills blessing, this had become an immutable fact. Weier frowned and asked, How did you get onto Black Snakes radar, that dead pervert? You told the cat-eared girl that you had merely made eye contact with Black Snake on the street, and then he had fixated on you. Weier was speechless. She felt that the level of your misfortune was truly outrageous. Weier glanced at you and said, So, can you leave now? This is the second time Ive saved you. Right away. You curiously looked up at the stone wall above and asked, Is there a mechanism in this wall? How did you pull me in here? The cat-eared girl put a finger to her lips and said solemnly, This place was left by my mother. As for how I brought you in here, thats my ability. As payment for saving your life yet again, please dont tell anyone about this place! Ding! Weier has issued you a mission: Do not disclose any information about this place. You immediately indicated that you would definitely not blab about it. Weiers fierce gaze had no effect on you whatsoever; you even wanted to pet her head and ears. Note: Traveler, do you want to try? No! You asked, What is an ability? Can I have one too? Weier glanced at you, having grown accustomed to your lack of common knowledge. Whats called an ability originally comes from those who follow the official path toward Sublimation, Transcendent beings. However, for Variants like us, as the erosion of the Mutant Factor deepens, powers similar to those who have embarked on the path to Sublimation can also emerge. Of course, instead of using the term Sublimated ability, it might be more apt to call them Mutant abilities. The more that Variants use this power stemmed from calamity, the further they fall into the abyss of Mutation, until they turn into monsters. Recorded item: Sublimated abilities/Mutant abilities. You memorized what the cat-eared girl had told you. Dont just stand there. Lets go. As I said before, our deal is over. I wont charge you this time for saving you, but Grey Stone Street is too dangerous for someone like you. Leave as soon as possible. Weier climbed up the ladder placed next to the wall, motioning for you to follow her with a hook of her hand. You felt the kindness emanating from the cat-eared girl once more. You passed through a pile of dusty books. Do you want to climb up? Yes Following Weier, you climbed up to the third floor and crawled out through a turned-up corner. The room was relatively spacious, a double bed over two meters wide stood at the center of the room. Many clothes were scattered carelessly on the bed and on the wardrobe, which appeared to be the usual attire for the two Lolitas, Weier, and Aina. Big sis, someone from the Snake and Rat Meeting just ran downstairs, right? Do you know what happened? The door opened from the outside, and the little wolf-eared Lolita Aina looked inside curiously. Aina saw you and exclaimed with both surprise and delight, Sloppy Uncle? Youre back? Didnt my sister drive you away? Traveler, you could no longer tolerate the nickname Sloppy Uncle. Do you wish to correct Ainas way of addressing you? Yes Do you wish to reveal your real name to them? Luo Xi hesitated for a moment, then chose yes. Yes You told them your real name: Luo Xi, and you asked Aina to stop calling you Sloppy Uncle, but instead brother. So your name is Luo Xi? Weier looked at you with a half-smile, Didnt you say you had forgotten your name? You felt a tightness in your heart. Luo Xi thought to himself, This is not good. Would this slip cause the Lolitas favorability toward him to plummet drastically? Fortunately, no Favorability prompts popped up. Traveler, what is your response? I just remembered my name. Im sorry, I had my reasons. Say nothing and just leave. You said, I just remembered my name; thats all. Oh, is that so? Weier escorted you to the living room and opened the door again. Everybody has secrets, and soon youll be strangers again, so she didnt want to delve into your secrets. Sarch* The N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Your Happiness Level -10 You walked toward the door. Ding! Due to the emotional turmoil from earlier, the erosion level of the Mutant Factor in your body has reached 1%, entering an unstable state. A wave of intense dizziness engulfed your head, traveler, as you felt everything go dark, with severe pain and a burning sensation spreading throughout your entire body. Your body unexpectedly began to collapse to the ground, but the little wolf-eared Lolita Aina reacted quickly, rushing to embrace your waist and prop you up. The little Lolita called out in panic, Weier sister! Whats happening to Sloppy Uncle I mean brother? You didnt do something strange to him, did you? Weier also looked stunned. She instructed Aina to lay you on the floor and, after a brief examination, made an uncertain judgment. It seems like the factor within him has begun to erode his body. Will he die? So hot if we dont cool him down, he might actually die Weier hesitated for a moment then said, Well, since Ive already saved him twice, saving him one more time doesnt really matter. Aina, go get some cold water bags and find a clean towel. Luo Xis phone slid onto the blanket. He clutched his head. Pain, pain, pain! And he was so hot, so thirsty. His face was twisted in pain and burning heat. It felt like something inside him was fighting, incessantly tearing at his body. Damn it, could the pain from that damn game really carry over into reality? Squeak The dormitory door was opened from the outside. The person who came in immediately saw Luo Xi on the bed and shouted excitedly, Little mule? Youre back all of a sudden? Did the boss fire you? I told you being a working stiff has no future; you should come back and hang out with us Luo Xi? Damn, Luo Xi, what happened to you? Chapter 14 - 14 14 Is there such a disease that causes ?Chapter 14: Chapter 14: Is there such a disease that causes animal ears to grow?_1 Chapter 14: Chapter 14: Is there such a disease that causes animal ears to grow?_1 Haicheng First Peoples Hospital. In the consultation room, a doctor with only a few hairs on his head, who clearly looked experienced, examined the freshly received films and blood test reports. His brows furrowed then relaxed as he scrutinized them for a long time before finally taking off his glasses to look at the person sitting opposite him. Does it still hurt? What does it feel like now? Luo Xis face was somewhat pale as he replied, It was quite uncomfortable before, but its better now, not much pain anymore. The doctor asked, Are your family members here? Luo Xi shook his head, Theyre not here. I came with a classmate. Just say whatever it is, I can handle it. Alright. The doctor spoke gravely, Classmate, your illness is a bit strange. It somewhat resembles acute leukemia, but looking at other indicators, it doesnt seem to be that. I suggest you get a more detailed full-body check-up. Leukemia? Luo Xis hand on the table trembled slightly. Actually, its not that bad, the doctor consoled. Even if it really is leukemia, at most its in the early stage. As long as you get timely treatment, there is still a great hope for a cure. Luo Xi suddenly asked, What if this isnt leukemia, but some unknown disease? The doctor was taken aback, What do you mean? Hesitating for a moment, Luo Xi said, I mean, for example, after getting this disease, is there a possibility of growing strange animal ears? Similar to those anthropomorphic characters in games and on TV. Or like those beastmen and demihuman characters in otaku mobile games. The doctor: What nonsense is this child talking about? Could it be not only his body is sick but his mind as well? The doctor handed the films back to Luo Xi and stood up to pat his shoulder. Dont overthink it. Though, if there really is such a strange disease, then it could be named after you, classmate. Wouldnt that also be a pleasant thing? Luo Xi: (```)? The doctor laughed, Go back and discuss it with your parents. This kind of thing cant just be toughed out alone; after all, your life is most precious to them. Sear?h the N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Luo Xi sighed inwardly. How could he even bring this up? Besides, those two parents of his wouldnt care about him even if he did. After all, they had stopped caring since he started university. Outside the consultation room. As soon as Luo Xi came out, Wang Yuanjie, who had been sitting on a bench, stood up and asked with concern, How is it? Are you alright? Luo Xi forced a smile, Im fine, its just acute gastroenteritis. The doctor said I should eat less barbecue and stuff in the future. Wang Yuanjie was Luo Xis roommate and had the best relationship with him among the four in the dormitory. It was he who had dragged Luo Xi from his bed to the hospital on his electric scooter. However, by the time they got to the hospital, the pain and burning sensation Luo Xi felt had already lessened a lot. He knew that the problem with his body was probably not some normal illness and was definitely closely related to that text-based game, but he still ran some tests under Wang Yuanjies insistence. Wang Yuanjie breathed a sigh of relief and joked, Hey, I thought you were a goner, and that I might have been able to get a recommendation for postgraduate studies. Too bad. Luo Xi punched Wang Yuanjie and scolded him with a laugh, Too bad your head! What kind of filial son wishes his dad dead so he can inherit his spending debt? By the way, Ill pay you back when I get my paycheck next month. No rush on the money. Wang Yuanjie laughed and threw a punch back, Heh, I dont know why, but looking at your face right now, I feel its kinda asking for a slap. Come here and let dad slap you twice. Looking for a beating! Alright, no kidding. Its good that youre okay. Wang Yuanjie dodged and laughed, Since youre back today, lets call up that kid Chen Yao this evening and have a meal together never mind, given your condition, you cant eat good food. We can wait until youre well to celebrate. So, are we going to karaoke now or to the card parlor to relax? Luo Xi shook his head, Lets go back to university. Isnt this the time you ought to be studying? Im not missing much. Wang Yuanjie suddenly stared into Luo Xis eyes, Little mule, youre not hiding anything from me, are you? Luo Xi replied without changing his expression, Of course not. He glanced down at the text on his phone. [Traveler, your character is currently in a state of fainting. Would you like to accelerate to the next event node?] [Your body is undergoing drastic changes] [Note: In the Dream World, any changes and enhancements fundamental to the life essence of your character will be equally reflected onto your physical form in the Otherworld.] By the time Luo Xi returned to the university, it was already four in the afternoon. He was sitting behind Wang Yuanjie on the small electric heater, and the two of them rode into the campus through the south gate, along a road flanked by the picturesque campus scenery, where many couples and visitors were strolling about. A variety of colorful stray cats also lived in this area. The school had originally planned to cull them, but the stray cats were very alert, disappearing into the woods at the sight of strangers. Plus, with the protection and obstruction from the girls, the issue was left unresolved. After all, who in todays social media climate wouldnt be afraid of being called out in a post online? Luo Xi looked at a small gray cat by the road and felt a sudden impulse. He said, Wang Yuanjie, stop for a second. Wang Yuanjie hit the brakes and looked back, asking, Whats up? Luo Xi pointed to the side of the road, Theres a cat over there. You want to pet the cat? Forget it, we didnt bring any food, so you wont be able to touch it, and if it bites you, thatd be trouble. A rabies shot costs a lot of money, and you said you were broke, right? Its fine, I just want to have a look. Luo Xi got off the scooter and walked straight towards the small gray cat. Meow~ The small gray cat faced him, meowing softly, its pure eyes showing no sign of fear. Not only that but as Luo Xi reached out his hand towards the little gray cat, it didnt retreat. Instead, it took a step towards him and even voluntarily pressed its little head into his hand, gently rubbing against it. Meowmeow Suddenly, several cats, big and small, emerged from the nearby grass, curiously sizing up Luo Xi before gathering in front of him, wagging their tails and rubbing against his legs and shoes. Coocoo A spotted dove flew over from somewhere and landed on Luo Xis shoulder, as if mistaking his hand for a branch. Then it started to coo as if courting. At this moment, Luo Xi seemed to hear an auditory hallucination. [Your Happiness Level +10] Wang Yuanjie stood to the side, completely dumbfounded. Whats this situation? Wang Yuanjie had brought his own girlfriend here before to pet the cats, but these cats were very pragmatic; without any food, you couldnt even think about touching a single fur, and trying to pet them forcefully could result in bites and scratches, causing more harm than good. How did Little Mule manage to just reach out his hand and have a bunch of cats willingly come up to him? And what was with that cooing chicken? A passing girl saw this magical scene and captured it on her phone. As time passed, the crowd of onlookers grew larger and larger. Luo Xi suddenly turned around to find that he was surrounded by people, so he quickly flicked the courting foolish dove off his shoulder, put on his hat to cover his face, and hopped onto Wang Yuanjies scooter to make a swift getaway. After Luo Xi left, a girl knelt down, peeled a sausage, and offered it to the gray cat. Little Mi, come here, have some sausage. The gray cat took a bite of the sausage, glanced at the girl, then turned its head and disappeared into the woods. Seeing so many people, the other cats also scattered in fright. That left a crowd who had come to see the cats and wanted to feed them standing in the wind, disheveled. This isnt right, is it? Later on, a set of photos related to Luo Xi spread quickly through Haicheng Universitys forums and confession walls, making Luo Xi, who had always kept a low profile during his four years at university, inexplicably famous for a while. Chapter 15 - 15 15 Title Suspicious Pervert_1 ?Chapter 15: Chapter 15: Title: Suspicious Pervert_1 Chapter 15: Chapter 15: Title: Suspicious Pervert_1 This is so weird, why are all the cats flocking to you? In front of the electric bike, Wang Yuanjie asked with a puzzled face, Little mule, when did you switch classes to become a Druid? Luo Xi thought for a moment and said, It should have been the day before yesterday. Hahaha. Wang Yuanjie chuckled, naturally disbelieving Luo Xis words. He guessed that perhaps Luo Xi had brushed against something in the hospital, like catnip or some such substance, which was why he attracted so many cats. As for the Spotted Dove Those birds are foolishly cute, so it wouldnt be surprising for them to behave oddly. Ill drop you off at the dormitory first, and then Ill have to go to the library to study a bit more; I should be back around nine oclock tonight. Thanks, can you drive a bit faster, I really need to use the bathroom. Hey, no need for thanks between us, just hold on tight. . As soon as Luo Xi entered the dormitory, he rushed into the bathroom, took off his clothes, and turned on the cold shower. Cold water poured over his body, and surprisingly white mist appeared, a phenomenon that occurs when high temperatures cause evaporation and condensation. After showering for nearly half an hour, Luo Xi finally stepped out of the bathroom. He took a deep breath. He felt alive again. This time the pain was gone, but the feeling of being roasted still almost made him cry out. Most people would be at their limits with a fever of forty degrees, but he estimated that his body temperature must have been at least seventy degrees or even higher. This had already surpassed human common sense. Luo Xi looked at himself in the mirror, dripping wet and naked. The young man reflected was somewhat haggard but still incredibly handsome, and his body shape was quite well proportioned. However, something seemed off S~ea??h the n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Damn, whats this stuff? Luo Xi rubbed his eyes hard. In the mirror, hidden by his long hair, his head now sported a pair of protruding red-black horns, each about four centimeters long. Luo Xi lifted his somewhat trembling hands to gently touch them. He had casually asked a doctor in the hospital about it, never expecting to actually grow strange things on his head. However, his hand directly touched his scalp; he didnt feel any foreign objects. Luo Xi stroked his own hair. So, was this an illusion? No, this surely had something to do with that text-based game. But why horns instead of beast ears? Why these strange things? Feeling somewhat disappointed, Luo Xi picked up his phone, unlocked it and opened Dawn. All the answers must be found in this game. [Note: In the Dream World, any changes to and enhancements of your character that stem from the essence of life will be equally mirrored onto your actual self in the Otherworld.] This message might have explained the changes that happened to him. [Would you like to speed up to the next event node?] [Yes] X30. Luo Xi went to the balcony and quietly watched the sky turn from a bright red to sunset, while people moved like the wind below. It felt like seven or eight minutes had passed when the text on the screen finally changed. [Ding!

If his game character turned into a monster, would he become one in reality too? [Traveler, you have opened your eyes.] [This is the third time youve woken up in the same place; an old wooden bed with a ceiling where rats can be heard scurrying, a damp towel resting on your forehead, and the room filled with water bags.] [Theres no light in the room, but you find the world before you exceptionally clear, down to the smallest details and intricate patterns on the ceiling, which you can see perfectly.] [You also feel a warm presence enveloping your bodywhile faint, its exceptionally comforting, and its everywhere.] [Updated Entry: Pure Yuan Su] [Description: This is an energy that fills the dream world, omnipresent and bestowed by a grand will.

As you, Traveler, have had odd thoughts about underage girls multiple times, you have officially earned the title: Suspicious Pervert.] [Equipping this title will decrease your Intelligence by 10, but it will increase the Favorability of all underage girls towards you by +30.] [Note: Well, Traveler, youve got nothing to say now, right?] Luo Xi: Damn, whats the deal with these weird titles, cant I have something normal and usable? My intelligence is already barely over 10, if you reduce it by another 10 wont it become a negative number!? And what the hell is this Lust Value? Why is it increasing? Is this character really generated based on my subconscious? [Seeing that you didnt respond to her for a long time, Aina walked towards you and waved her hand in front of your face, Brother Luo Xi, can you hear me?] [You nod to indicate you can hear her.] [Aina patted her chest in relief and said, Thats good, I was worried youd gone stupid, then I wouldnt be able to collect money from you.] [Your Confusion Level +10] [The yell of the cat-eared girl came from outside the door, Aina!

You little money-grubber!] [Hehe~] [Little Lolita Aina skipped away.] [The cat-eared girl Weier entered the room and lit the oil lamp.] [She looked you up and down with a frown.] [You moved your body slightly.] [With a soft click, the already rickety bed collapsed to the ground in a heap of broken wood.] Chapter 16 - 16 16 Traveler dont be sour_1 ?Chapter 16: Chapter 16 Traveler, dont be sour!_1 Chapter 16: Chapter 16 Traveler, dont be sour!_1 [Whats going on?

What kind of display is this in front of others!] [Weier, so agitated that her cat ears and tail were sticking up, didnt bother with the wooden bed youd collapsed, and dragged Aina out of the room with one hand.] [Having damaged someone elses property, you, the Traveler, didnt dare to move a muscle, and could only sit amidst the broken wood planks, feeling the differences in your own body.] [You raised your hand to touch your head.] [As you suspected, a pair of small horns had grown on top of your head, very hard in texture, somewhat like teeth or bones, and immovable even if you tried to twist them.] [Traveler, you sensed a peaceful energy in the air around you.] [Even though you couldnt see the energy filling the space around you, you could fully feel it providing you with strength; you were now much stronger than before.] [You swung a gentle punch towards the table, and the wind from your fist instantly extinguished the burning candle.] [A minute later, the cat-eared girl returned to the room, gasping for air, and shut the door tightly behind her to prevent her unruly sister from coming back in.] [Eh, how did the candle go out?] [Weier relit the candle, then turned to look at you sitting on the broken bed planks, and said with a speechless expression, How much longer are you going to sit? The floor is very dirty, it hasnt been swept for years.] [You stood up from the ground and asked, How much for the bed?] [Forget it, this old bed isnt worth much, it has not been used for a long time anyway. Weier shook her head, You must have noticed the changes in yourself. I didnt expect the Mutant Factor infecting you to be of the Dragon Species Category. Im not sure whether to call it good luck or bad luck.] [You touched the small horns on your head curiously and asked, What do you mean by that?] [Weier squinted at the horns on your head, and explained, The Origin Beasts of the Dragon Species Category are among the strongest and rarest at their Tier, and their Mutant Factors are filled with destructiveness and offensiveness, and they are also highly unstable, making them the class of factors most likely to cause Mutant Patients to lose control.] [Of course, its also for this reason that Mutant Patients of the Dragon Species Category, once they transcend, tend to experience the most dramatic increase in strength compared to others. Right now, you are only in the early stages of being corrupted by the Mutant Factor, but you must feel the sudden surge in your own strength. In a pure test of strength, even I might not be your match now.] S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Traveler, hearing Weiers description, you felt that the risk associated with this increase in strength was acceptable, at least for the moment you hadnt turned into a monster, and you still had time to find a solution to your problem.] [The cat-eared girl added, But dont get too happy too quickly. Ive hardly seen any Mutant Patients of the Dragon Species Category peacefully close their eyes and leave this world. As Ive said before, for people like us, sublimation is akin to mutation; the more we use this power of calamity, the deeper we fall into the abyss of destruction, and sooner or later we become monsters devoid of humanity.] [Besides, your body and bones are valuable commodities to the criminals; they cant slay the Dragon Species itself but killing a Variant with the Dragon Species factor is easy, and they can sell you for a decent amount of money.] [Your Happiness Level -10] Luo Xi read the text with a sinking heart. Just how dark is the world background of this text game? Can there be more trust and beauty of kindness between people? But it seems he could resurrect, right? What if he sold his body from before resurrection? What would happen then? Luo Xi fell into contemplation. Maybe he could exploit a bug? Crack crack crack Suddenly, he heard the sound of steel shattering. Luo Xi shifted his gaze from the smartphone screen and discovered to his surprise that he had unconsciously crushed the balconys steel railing, as thick as a calf, with his fingers. The strength he had gained in the game was fully manifested in him in reality, and he had also noticed that his vision had improved significantly. Luo Xi controlled the strength of his fingers and lightly tapped the screen, continuing to read the text. You look up at the girl and gently ask, After becoming a Variant, is there no chance of returning to a normal person?'' Luo Xi abruptly held his breath. This was exactly what he wanted to ask. Weier gave you a despairing answer, There is no chance. All we can do is try to delay the uncontrollable progression of Mutation Syndrome. Some lucky people may live their whole lives in a daze; Ive heard that some Variants can embark on the legitimate path of Sublimation, but that is definitely irrelevant to us. After a long silence, you ask, Why does this world hold so much malice against the Variants?'' Weier laughed at herself mockingly and pointed at the cat ears on her head, saying, Why else, its because we have Mutation Syndrome, and thats the biggest reason.'' You asked me yesterday where my parents went, right? Origin Beasts of calamity level and above release something called Mutant Factor, and pregnant women who inhale it may cause their fetus to undergo Mutation, like me and Aina, born Mutant Patients. According to my mother, my father wanted to kill me by throwing me to the ground right after I was born. It was my mother who fought desperately to snatch me back, took me from home, and came to this remote place to live in concealment, raising me alone, running around to earn money. Three years ago, she perished with a convoy in the wilderness, and even her body was never found. The cat-eared girl seemed to be venting her emotions, and the overly heavy topic made the atmosphere in the room suddenly sink to its lowest. Weier stopped talking and just sat quietly on the stool, gazing at you with her beautiful red eyes, bearing a look of reminiscence, as if lost in distant memories. The crimson horns. The woman who sent little Aina to Grey Stone Street in the year of the snow, she too was a Mutant Patient of the Red Dragon Species factor, wasnt she? Weier had seen with her own eyes, beneath that womans clothes, a body nearly completely covered by red scales; the agony and numbness on the womans face merging together, fully portraying that being alive was worse than being dead. This world has never been kind to those who have suffered hardships. It only pushes people step by step into the abyss of utter despair. That woman had begged every resident of Grey Stone Street, knocking on door after door, hoping they would take care of Aina, but no one wanted to raise an unknown burden. One more person meant more mouth to feed, and why use that food to raise someone elses child instead of having one more of your own? In the end, it was Weiers mother who agreed to the womans request. The woman kneeled on the ground, expressing her immense gratitude, and took out all her belongings. After handing little Aina to Weiers mother, she was engulfed by a fire originating from within herself. Weier still remembers the smile on that womans face amid the flames, a smile that must have carried both relief and regret. Chapter 17 - 17 17 You Can Steal One_1 ?Chapter 17: Chapter 17: You Can Steal One!_1 Chapter 17: Chapter 17: You Can Steal One!_1 [After a long while, Weier asked you, What do you want to do after this?] [Me? you pondered for a moment and said, I dont know, just walk around I guess. I want to see what this world is like.] [Just walk around The cat-eared girl raised an eyebrow, seemingly disapproving. Regardless of what kind of person you were before or what experiences youve had, thats all in the past. Once you become a Mutant Patient, youll gradually see the truly cruel side of this world.] [In a big city like Winter City, Variants arent allowed entry except under special circumstances. The high-ranking people within the city only think of Variants as cheap labor or slaves.] [As for you saying you want to wander around, thats not really a good idea either. There are dangerous Origin Beasts everywhere in the wilderness. Unless you have a strong team with you, an ordinary person on their own is just adding themselves to the beasts menu.] Luo Xi remembered he had indeed died mysteriously in the wilderness twice before. Once, a monster in the darkness had bitten off his head while he was climbing a mountain, and another time, he had been eaten by an unrecognized creature while he was offline. It seemed that the creatures that had eaten him were the so-called Origin Beasts. [Weier continued, I suggest that youd better find a place to settle down for a long time. It could be a Variant gathering place like Grey Stone Street which is dependent on a large town, or some small town with lenient conditions. At first, you will more or less be rejected by the locals, but as time goes on, youll naturally be able to blend in.] [You realized that this cat-eared girl seemed to be teaching you how to survive in the future.] [However, as a Traveler from another world, you didnt want to just settle in a corner; that was merely a slow death.] [Nevertheless, this cat-eared girl, whose tone was the only thing cold about her, was really a good person.] [Bang bang bang!] [There was a sudden and hurried knocking at the door.] [You heard Aina anxiously calling from outside, Sister Weier, open the door quickly! People from Snake and Rat Meeting have suddenly come to collect protection money. They also said theyre going to grab someone, claiming that someone harbored a little outsider thief who stole something!] [Theres no outsider thief. It seems they are here for you. Weier stood up abruptly and said to you in a deep voice, You go to our room and go down from the spot earlier. Hide well, and dont come out unless I call for you.] [Before you could reply, the cat-eared girl forcefully pushed you, and you staggered several steps back.] [An unbelievable thing happened, you went straight through the solid wall behind you.] [You landed on a big, soft bed full of girls clothes.] [A pleasant scent lingered around your nose, making your head feel dizzy.] [Your Happiness Level +13] [Friendly Reminder: Actually, you could sneak away with one piece, just put it in your Dreamland carry-on, and you can take it out to reward yourself merrily~] Luo Xi: (p)! Shameless text, what are you talking about, am I that kind of person! A group from Snake and Rat Meeting was going down the street, collecting protection money from one household to another. Black Snake, with a clear target in mind, was leering at a small building, licking his lips in excitement. He had spent hours at midday without finding the person, and Black Snake was actually ready to give up. But at the dining table, he overheard a colleague talking about a foreign Mutant Patient who had tried to bribe the guards yesterday to enter Winter City. The patient ended up getting beaten and robbed of his money, which was considered a funny incident. After the story, someone asked, What happened to that idiot in the end? Someone saw that Liyas child had taken away that idiot, one replied. Liya? Whos that? Oh, I forgot you just arrived and dont know. She was a Tier Four Skill Practioner hired by our Snake and Rat Meeting three years ago, quite famous. Tier Four Skill Practioner? No way, how did she, a Variant, manage to get the chance for Sublimation to Tier Four? On the black market, this could sell for tens of thousands of kilos of Essence, right? Who told you shes a Mutant Patient? Its her daughter who got infected with the Mutant Factor. Thats why she had no choice but to come here to make a living. Not only is Liya strong, but shes also got a hot body. I heard even the boss at the time was smitten and wanted to take her in. And how is she now? The speaker sighed, What a pity. She died in a group mission three years ago. Since then, Snake and Rat Meeting has suffered greatly, losing a lot of high-end combat power. Otherwise, how would we weaklings have the chance to become small leaders? Her daughter, however, has some decent skills. She has helped us with some prospecting and reconnaissance work before. You should still remember the girl with white hair and cat ears, right? Oh her, I remember now. Shes quite cute. Black Snake listened to the two mens conversation on the side, and he too remembered the man he was chasing had vanished near the area where Liya lived. Given Liyas daughters uncanny ability to treat obstacles as if they were air, intercepting someone under her watch would be a piece of cake. That was his reason for coming over. The prey he had his eye on had never been able to get away so easily. Of course, he could also make some money on the side. Hed been short on cash lately, and as the protector of Grey Stone Street, wasnt it only right for him to ask the residents for some money? Thud! The already battered door shook violently with the knocking. Weier twisted the door open with a frown, her expression sour as she confronted the people outside, Black Snake, what are you doing here? My family doesnt have any money for you, and if you break my staircase, youre paying for it, you got it? The hulking figure of Black Snake, nearly two meters tall, stood like a wall, occupying the landing completely. His excessive weight caused the metal frame of the staircase to emit a pitiful squeaking noise. Hey, little white cat sister, long time no see. Black Snake laughed boisterously and unashamedly said, I wont take your protection money, but this afternoon, a little thief passed by your place. Do you know where he went? We suspect hes the thief. Dont be hiding a criminal now. What little thief? I dont know what youre talking about, and stop calling me a little white cat. Weier frowned, Youre coming to check on something that happened in the afternoon at this hour of the night? Are you sick? Even if there was a thief, he would have run away long ago. Dont make a nuisance of yourself and disturb our neighbors from having dinner and resting, will you? Yeah, yeah. Someone whispered in agreement below. They smashed my wardrobe and stole a silver coin from my house. They just took the protection money last week. My house was robbed of money too. He could have just robbed directly, but he had to find an excuse. Im crying. Sarch* The N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Whats all the noise about! Black Snake glared downward, and the noisy voices suddenly vanished. He turned back to the girl and said with a smirk, Thats true, but Ive heard some interesting news. They say you brought someone of unknown origin back home yesterday. Where is he? Where is he hiding? We suspect hes the thief; dont provide shelter for a criminal. Weier said expressionlessly, I dont know what youre talking about. Chapter 18 - 18 18. The Letter Liya Left for Her Daughters_1 ?Chapter 18: Chapter 18. The Letter Liya Left for Her Daughters_1 Chapter 18: Chapter 18. The Letter Liya Left for Her Daughters_1 Lying is not a good thing. The black snakes gaze moved through Weier and into the living room behind her, Little Weier, when your mother was still alive, you used to call me uncle, didnt you? Now youve grown up and become prettier, but your personality has become less likeable. Dont try to cozy up to my sister! Aina popped her head out from beside Weier with a look of disgust, You bad person! All of you from the Snake and Rat Meeting are bad people. My mother was harmed by you, and now that harming her wasnt enough, are you here to press us two sisters? Where did you little wolf cub get the courage to act wild in front of me?! The black snake revealed his sharp canine teeth and scolded with a grimace, This is Grey Stone Street! Its our Snake and Rat Meetings territory. Im speaking to you nicely because of the tasks your sister did for our Snake and Rat Meeting in the past. If it were someone else, they would already be dead! Dont take kindness for weakness! Sarch* The n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Aina shuddered all over, frightened, and shrank back, her ears drooping down. Some people downstairs could no longer stand by and whispered, He sees that the sisters are pretty and is just looking for any excuse to force them to comply. Disgusting, not even sparing such young children. Among those two sisters, the older one is only about fifteen or sixteen, right? Hey, I remember that black snake; doesnt he like men? Maybe his tastes have changed? Nonsense! I have no interest in little brats like that at all! What are you spouting? Do you want to die? The black snake suddenly became furious and roared down at them. He didnt want the residents of Grey Stone Street to think he was a dead loli-con. Where would his dignity and authority be after that? If his colleagues in the Snake and Rat Meeting heard about this, they would no doubt relentlessly mock him. Of course, there were also those who mocked him for liking men, but he never cared. That was because he would break into that persons room during the night after being mocked to teach them a lesson and enjoy their terrified expression. But rumors of liking young girls The black snake indicated he couldnt accept that. After scaring the neighbors back inside, the black snake narrowed his eyes at Weier, Are you going to hand over the person or not? How could I give you someone, conjure someone out of thin air for you? Weier stepped aside to open a path and said with a mocking expression, However, Black Snake Rat Rat, if you dare, youre welcome to come in and search yourself. This A wariness appeared in the black snakes eyes. Many coveted Liyas inheritance, but very few had the courage to actually make a move. As a Tier Four Skill Practitioner, even in death, Liyas deterrent power was enough to intimidate many of the small fry. Who knows if these two had any skill scrolls left behind by Liya in their possession? Two years ago, a group tried to sneak into Liyas house and ended up easily roasted into charcoal by a fierce cyan flame. Furthermore, the boss was someone who didnt forget old favors. He had commanded members of the Snake and Rat Meeting not to disturb Liyas daughters, which was why they had been able to live peacefully over the years. Otherwise, in a place like Grey Stone Street, two defenseless young girls would have been devoured clean, literally. The black snake earnestly advised, Little Weier, why insist on making our relationship so tense for a stranger, for a man you dont even know? You might not have to worry with your own abilities, but you wouldnt want Little Aina to run into danger, would you? The cat-eared girls hand trembled imperceptibly, the grip tightening so much that Aina, whose hand she was holding, felt her bones ache. Sister Aina lowered her bright eyes. Weier watched the black snake with fierce eyes, her face icy as she said word by word, Are you threatening me? The black snake smiled ambiguously without affirming or denying. Actually, he felt somewhat uneasy right now. She wouldnt suddenly pull out a skill scroll and scatter my ashes, would she? After all, with the bosss orders and since he was the one who came looking for trouble first, if he really were to be killed by a skill scroll, the boss might not even glance at his body. Squeak The sound of a door being pushed open echoed from the living room. Someone walked out from inside. The black snakes eyes lit up upon seeing the newcomer. Aina opened her little mouth in surprise. Weier cursed in her heart, thinking this fool must not understand human speech! Hadnt she told you not to come out?! [Traveler, as Weier told you, you climbed back down from where you previously came.] [This small secret chamber was filled with all sorts of books in great numbers.] [In any place, books are precious carriers of knowledge and history; perhaps you can take some away to study in detail.] [Traveler, you picked up a book with a white cover.] [Would you like to open the book and read it?] [Yes] [You opened the book.] [The book was filled with all kinds of strange symbols. After flipping through a few pages, you realized that you couldnt understand the content at all, and just looking at the symbols on the pages made your head feel quite uncomfortable.] [Most of the books here were similar to this strange one.] [Would you like to put these books into your Dreamland knapsack?] Luo Xi thought for a moment and chose no. If he had treated this game as merely a game like before, he definitely would have stuffed all the good things he came across into the space of his pack without hesitation. But these books belonged to the cat-eared girl. [You found a page of yellowed, handwritten cardstock on a small table in the corner, covered with dense text.] [Would you like to check it?] [Yes] [LiyaBirthday blessings and gifts for Weiers thirteen years] [My dear Weier, Im so sorry that Mommy cant be with you to celebrate your birthday today. I had wanted to tell you in person, but seeing you sleeping so sweetly, I didnt want to wake you. Mommy has to go on an urgent mission, but dont worry, Ill be back in at most a week; I wont keep you waiting too long. Mommy is here wishing Weier another happy year of growing up. Also, take good care of Little Aina during this time. Dont spoil her too much or let her eat strange things, as she might get diarrhea easily. Oh, and Weier, you mentioned before that you wanted to see the plum blossoms that can bloom even in the cold winter. Mommy will look for them this time out, and I hope to find some. Speaking of which, spring is nearly here. Mommy remembers a poet saying that even the thickest snow will eventually melt away. When the spring breeze blows, new tender buds will grow in the scars spread across the land, and beautiful flowers will bloom once again. Weier, do you want to be the plum blossom that blooms in the cold winter or the fresh flower that welcomes the spring after the snow melts? Hehe, Ive gotten a bit carried away with my writing. The things written below, Weier, just pretend you didnt see them. Breakfast is ready and its on the table. Dont forget to eat it, you two (*^^*).] [At the very bottom of the text, there was a line of delicate small script, different from the text above, as if it was added later.] [Three months have passed, and Mommy still hasnt come back, big liar] [Ding! Traveler, your Sadness Value +10] [Traveler, why do you feel sad?] Chapter 19 - 19 19 Will of the Traveler_1 ?Chapter 19: Chapter 19 Will of the Traveler_1 Chapter 19: Chapter 19 Will of the Traveler_1 Why am I sad? After reading these words on the screen, Luo Xi fell silent. There was another question, why would his character choose to hide at this moment? The game seemed to have stated from the beginning that, unless prompted with a branch of choices, the game character would act according to his subconscious. So, if he really faced such a situation, would he also choose to let those two girls stand outside while he hid alone in a dark corner? Its somewhat shameful. Since the game character cannot actually die, why would I be so timid? Why did his character dare to hit the old lady on the head with a brick before, but now he just hides and wont move? [System: That is because, Traveler, you have come to realize that Dream World is not a false world, and your subconscious fears the danger.] As Luo Xi gently stroked the phone screen, he chuckled as if self-mockingly. My subconscious, cant you be a bit more supportive? [You put the card paper back in its original place.] [Traveler, after dying multiple times, you who acknowledge the dangers of this world have developed a fear of it.] [The old you, when faced with difficulties, always chose to flee, and the behavior pattern of your controlled character is precisely depicted by your subconsciousYou cannot deny all this.] The look in Luo Xis eyes flickered uncertainly. [If you want to change yourself, then do you have the courage it takes?] [Ding! Youve triggered a free quest: Travelers Will (with Dreamland Synchronization Module)] [Travelers Will: When you strongly wish to do something, the character you control will act on the will of you, the Traveler, and achieve synchronization to a certain extent.] [Description: Those from Snake and Rat Meeting are very likely looking for you. If you continue to hide here, you will only bring danger to those two kind girls. As a Traveler from another world, having the power to resurrect in Dream World, why fear a temporary death?] [What is your choice?] [ Go back upstairs, face the threat of Snake and Rat Meeting.] [ Continue to hide in this small room, perhaps you will gain temporary peace.] [Brave Traveler, you made the choice to face the disaster head-on. It seems youve understood that not every calamity can be avoided.] [Ding! This area is detected as relatively safe, would you like to bind a safe zone?] [Safe Zone: You can resurrect in the safe zone after death. (Note: After binding a safe zone, you cannot unbind it for one month.)] [Yes] [Ding! Safe zone binding successful.] [You climbed back up to the third floor.] [You heard Black Snake threatening Weier outside, using Ainas safety to coerce Weier into turning you over. His way of speaking sounded very much like some netizens from Island Country.] [Ding! Your Anger Value towards Black Snake +29] [Ding! Your Killing Intent Value towards Black Snake +13] [The currently known information about Black Snake is as follows:] [Black Snake] [Race: Human Clan] [Favorability: 20 (thinks you are a tasty prey)] [Description: Likes young and handsome men, hates women, and dislikes little girls even more. After seeing you in the afternoon, he took a liking to you and wants to have his way with you harshly.] [Ding! Your Killing Intent Value towards Black Snake +8] Luo Xi: Now theres another reason to kill this guy. [Traveler, youve placed your hand on the rooms doorknob.] [Do you open the door?] [Yes] [You opened the door.] [The noise you made when you opened the door caused Weier and Aina in the living room and the Black Snake outside to look at you in astonishment. The two girls were shocked and confused, while the Black Snakes face revealed ecstatic joy.] [Ding! Talent: Repulsion of the Same Sex has been triggered. The Black Snakes favorability towards you -50.] [The Black Snakes current favorability towards you: -30 (Traveler, hes thinking of dealing with you in even more violent ways now.)] [Weier tried to close the door and kept signaling you with her eyes to go back to your room.] [The Black Snake pressed against the door, laughing at you, Little Weier, hes already come out on his own. Are you still planning to stop me from taking this little thief away?] sea??h th novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Youve got guts. Although I dont know why I suddenly felt like giving you a beating just now, I just love this personality of yours! Yo, red horns, a Dragon Species Mutant Patient, Ive never played with one before.] [The Black Snake grinned and said, To be honest, if you kept hiding in their house, I really wouldnt dare go too far. Our boss has ordered us not to bother Liyas two daughters, even if you managed to kill me here. The Snake and Rat Meeting wouldnt do anything to these two girls later.] [You looked at Weier curiously and asked, Is what hes saying true?] [Weier replied numbly, I dont know.] [Clearly, the cat-eared girl didnt want to say anything more to you. Your rash actions had put you in a very dangerous situation, and she felt that her efforts were completely in vain.] [Of course, Little Weier wouldnt know, its a direct order from our boss, the Black Snake laughed heartily. He reached out to grab you, Then come with me. It took quite some effort to catch you today, little guy.] [You learned that the two girls seemed to have a close relationship with the higher-ups of the Snake and Rat Meeting.] [So, your worries were unnecessary.] [Your happiness level +11] [So, Traveler, what do you most want to do now?] Luo Xis lips slightly curled up. [In the next moment, the Black Snakes smile stiffened.] [You suddenly lashed out, rushing out like a cannonball, crashing into the Black Snakes body and sending him, along with part of the staircase, tumbling down to the floor below. You carried on with the momentum and shot out as well.] [Your significantly stronger physique allowed you to land steadily on the ground after a fall of about 7 meters. You breathed deeply, feeling your blood pumping rapidly through your veins, imbuing you with strength.] [You were acutely aware that now, you were much, much stronger than before!] [Your actions shocked the onlookers.] [Weiers shock level towards you +70] [Weiers favorability towards you +10] [Ainas shock level towards you +70] [Ainas favorability towards you +20] [Ding!

Your relationship with the Black Snake has deteriorated rapidly, and you have become enemies.] [A group of fierce and evil-looking people surrounded you, glaring angrily. Anyone who dared to lay a hand on a Snake and Rat Meeting member on Grey Stone Street was challenging their authority!] [Move aside! This is my prey! The Black Snakes crazed voice rang out.] [After making his angry subordinates step back, the Black Snake, while dusting off his clothes, glared at you viciously. Clearly, your sudden attack didnt have a good effect on him; instead, it had enraged him.] Chapter 20 - 20 20 Wei’er Meow meow meow What happened_1 ?Chapter 20: Chapter 20 Weier: Meow meow meow? What happened?_1 Chapter 20: Chapter 20 Weier: Meow meow meow? What happened?_1 Interesting, you actually dare to attack me, whats your name? [The Black Snake has inquired about your name] [Do you want to tell the Black Snake your name?] [No] [You did not answer, because you felt there was no necessity] [Note: Is the reason you didnt answer because he is not a cute little Lolita?] [Your disdainful expression has caused Black Snakes Anger Value to increase by +10] [Ding! The will of the Traveler has been fulfilled, you have broken through the fear ingrained in your subconscious and faced the formidable enemy and danger head-on] [Ding! Dream synchronization module has been temporarily unlocked, the synchronization time will not exceed 30 minutes, and the module will be unlocked after the first complete synchronization] [Kinder Reminder: During synchronization mode, you, Traveler, will experience all the injuries and mental stress on your character] [Do you wish to enter synchronization?] After hesitating for a moment, Luo Xi chose yes. He had a hunch that if he did not have the courage to confront danger personally, his game character might turn and run at the first sign of serious danger in the future, without giving him any choice. A few more instances like this, and this account might be ruined. Luo Xi leaned against the railing, and as the sensation of consciousness withdrawal surged up, something unclear appeared before his eyes. Unlike the clarity of perception when the Talent: Immersion was triggered, this time there really seemed to be a dreamlike haze, and everything around him was enveloped in a layer of fog. A dark street appeared before his eyes, as well as the thin film of Glory that enveloped the entire city upside down. That burly, tall man was about five meters away from him, staring at him with a ferocious look. It seemed that this was the man called Black Snake. Whew~ Luo Xi exhaled a breath of white air. Its a bit cold. Well, its after seven oclock, and the temperature here has cooled down. He looked at his clothes. Why am I still in that pile of rags? Luo Xi looked up. The two girls were also standing near the window, watching him. Their faces appeared somewhat blurred, as if covered by a mosaic. It seemed that the dream synchronization feature was not as useful as his Talent. Thats probably the difference between infantry and cavalry. Seeing Luo Xis distracted appearance, Black Snake became enraged and bellowed, What are you looking around for? And answer my question, dont underestimate me again! Im your wild dad. Luo Xi gave Black Snake the middle finger. He didnt know how the automatic translation feature in this Dream world translated his words, but seeing Black Snakes stunned expression at first, and then growing ferocious upon seeing the middle finger, Luo Xi knew that giving the middle finger must have a special meaning in this world as well. Damage low, insult great. Black Snakes eyes blazed with fury as he slowly pulled out a black object from behind, which scattered and fell to the ground, producing a crisp metallic clanging sound. Kid, I was going to take you back and cherish you properly, but now Im going to break your limbs first, and then tie you to a bed and finish you! Black Snakes subordinates saw their boss was about to go berserk and quickly scattered in all directions. Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Everyone get away, Lord Black Snake is about to blow his top! I bet that guy is going to get a spike from Lord Black Snake in the butt! Hiss, dont even mention it, my bottom still hurts. At that moment, Weiers crisp voice rang out from above, Be careful of those things he threw on the ground. That guy can control the metal spikes and often uses them to give a fatal blow to his enemies during a fight when they least expect it! You talk too much! A sharp screeching sound erupted. Luo Xi instinctively turned his head. An almost imperceptible black shadow whizzed past his face, slicing a small cut and drawing a long streak of blood. Yo, you dodged it. Not too shabby. Black Snakes ghostly voice rose in Luo Xis ear, How about this strike? Since youre part of the dragon lineage, you shouldnt die, right? The burly figure charged straight at Luo Xi, his fist the size of a sandbag barreling toward Luo Xis chest. The moment they made contact, Luo Xis body was struck heavily, thrown backward like a kite with its string cut, flying far away. Big brother! From the third floor, Aina clenched her little fist, her tea gold eyes painfully watching below. Seeing Luo Xi flung away, she immediately wanted to climb through the window and jump down. The external staircase had already broken off, making the window the only way to get downstairs. Aina, what are you doing?! The silver-haired cat-eared girl grabbed her sisters tail and yanked her forcefully back, scolding, Have you lost your mind? Ah! Sis, that hurts The little Lolita sat on the ground, holding her tail, gently rubbing the base of her tail. She spoke with a hint of grievance, Didnt you see, sis? He stepped forward to protect us. Are we going to just watch him get beaten to death or taken away by Black Snake? What I have can save him. The scroll left by mother isnt meant for you to misuse it like this! And right now, all of this is because he decided to act smart and seek trouble for himself. Would it have killed him to stay hidden safely in the secret room? Weier snorted coldly. Aina carefully said, But sis, when Black Snake threatened you with my safety earlier, you were very angry, right? My hand still hurts from how tightly you squeezed it. The cat-eared girl glared at the little Lolita, Its because youre such a kindhearted fool. You stay here and dont move! Sis will go check it out first. Weier stood up and jumped onto the windowsill, her silver-white hair bathed in the moonlight and the Glory of the Divine Tree. Aina watched her sisters back and smiled. Who is really the kindhearted one? The cat-eared girl leaped nimbly onto the roof. How did they get so far away? Weier surveyed the surroundings and located where Luo Xi had been sent flying. Aina was indeed right. When Black Snake threatened her with Ainas safety, she really did consider pulling out a Skill scroll and killing the man on the spot; it was only Luo Xis sudden appearance that stifled her rage. In this regard, Black Snake should really be thankful to Luo Xi. Leaping agilely across the rooftops like a cat, the girl finally found the location of the two men after jumping over a dozen buildings. But upon seeing the situation there, Weiers gaze immediately froze. Weier rubbed her eyes. What was going on? She had thought that even with gene enhancement, with the first steps into Transcendence through Mutation, Luo Xi probably wouldnt stand a chance against Black Snake. Contrary to her expectations, the situation was the opposite. The raging Black Snake was actually locked in a standoff with Luo Xi, fist to fist, and the resonance of Yuan Su had already lifted the surface of the nearby ground! In such a short time, what on earth had happened? Meow meow meow? Chapter 21 - 21 21 Immersion Killing Intent_1 ?Chapter 21: Chapter 21: Immersion: Killing Intent_1 Chapter 21: Chapter 21: Immersion: Killing Intent_1 Time rewound to the moment Luo Xi was blown away by the black serpent. Luo Xi had never before experienced what it felt like to have his bones and internal organs howling in pain, or known the sensation of blood gushing in his throat. Now, he fully understood. The text from the game hovered in front of his eyes, reminding him of his status. [Traveler, your Life Value has decreased by 11%.] [You have acquired a negative status: Bleeding (currently reducing your Life Value by 1% per minute, duration unknown).] Seconds later, Luo Xis body crash-landed on the cobblestone road of the street, rolling several times before coming to a gradual stop. It felt like those ghost rider kids who run red lights and get hit, flipping through the air and then somehow landing on their feet dancing. Residents of Grey Stone Street who had been out for some excitement all shrank back into their houses in fear. [Traveler, your Life Value has decreased by 5%.] The life points deducted by the hard landing werent as severe as the punch from the black serpent. Luo Xi got up from the ground, shook his head, and looking at the distance that was around forty or fifty meters from where he had been, couldnt help but feel damn resilient. The average physique of an ordinary person might only be around 5 or 6 points; after having his physique enhanced by 20 points, he was far beyond ordinary. Just the bleeding buff alone wasnt going to kill him within an hour. In short: a blood tank. Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh whoosh! At this moment, Luo Xi heard the sound of objects whizzing past him. The iron spikes skimmed by his side, interconnected in the darkness like small swords, striking sparks from their friction and cutting off his retreat. Was this the ability to manipulate iron spikes that Weier had mentioned? Was the black serpent afraid he would shout, This is my escape route, and make a run for it? Honestly, Luo Xi did have that thought. Someone exclaimed, Here it comes, Lord Black Serpents Iron Spike Cage! Anyone trapped in the Iron Spike Cage will be slowly tortured to death by Lord Black Serpent! Especially the buttocks, at least a hundred holes will be poked! Luo Xi: Ahead the black serpent sauntered slowly towards him, grinned, and said, You dont have much spirit or energy in your eyes, eh? Ive seen the likes of you in Ruins city before. You must have had quite the story, right? But you couldnt even take one of my punches. Do you know why? Because weakness is the original sin of this world. Luo Xi didnt understand what that guy was rambling about; he just felt the other was talking nonsense. Without a trace of emotion, he clenched his fist tighter. S~ea??h the ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. As the black serpent drew within two meters of him, Luo Xi used all his strength and threw a punch, also triggering a skill. [Critical Strike lv1: A punch filled with anger. Depending on the amount of anger in your heart, there is a [10%-100%] chance to deal double damage to the enemy (cooldown time 15 seconds).] The black serpent threw a punch as well, sneering, How could someone whos only got looks be my match! Ill subdue you first, then have you crawl willingly to my bed! You damn gay have been talking nonsense since just now! Luo Xi couldnt help but shout back, Damn it, are you ever going to shut up? Boom! Their fists collided head-on, ripping apart the air suddenly and causing the shockwave to generate an eerie half-spherical air mass around them. Even the ground trembled and fractured. The two of them were inexplicably locked in a stalemate. The previously composed expression on the black serpents face changed dramatically. Mutual resonance and repulsion of Yuan Su. This phenomenon only happens when Transcendent beings of similar strength collide with each other. The pure Yuan Su that permeates this world can be accommodated by everything, but once absorbed and transformed into pure elements, they reject the Yuan Su within the bodies of other individuals. When two Transcendent beings capable of harnessing Yuan Su of comparable power confront each other, it is easy to cause a resonance of Yuan Su. Neither party can easily withdraw and can only see who exhausts their strength first or employs other abilities to counter the enemy. However, the force transmitted from Luo Xis fist was slightly stronger than his, which was simply inconceivable, considering his own strength could spar a few moves with a legitimate First-tier Sublimated Venerator. That unknown knight from afar had even praised him for it. Luo Xi initially gave him the impression of being a zero-tier, almost Transcendent. Could it be that all patients with Mutation Syndrome from the dragon category have such strong innate strength? With such strength, how could he have been injured by the guards of Winter City? A thought struck Black Serpent. Could it be His left hands fingers twitched slightly, and one of the iron spikes behind him shot out, instantly piercing through Luo Xis thigh, spurting out a large amount of blood. A muffled grunt came from Luo Xis throat. Ouch, ouch, ouch! The level of reality in this experience is too unfriendly. Cant they turn down the pain sensitivity? No wonder the main play mode of this game is text-based; otherwise, if you were in this kind of life-and-death state every day, a normal person would probably go mad in an instant. As Luo Xis strength waned, the shockwaves at the intersection of their fists began to grow chaotic, and Black Serpent slowly advanced towards him. You possess great strength. Its impossible for you to be injured so easily by the guards of Winter City, so you did it on purpose. Black Serpent smirked triumphantly and whispered, I guess you also have your eyes on the things Liya left behind after her death, right? Luo Xi: ? What the hell is this guy talking about? Actually, Ive been coveting Liyas two daughters for a long time, tsk, what I meant is Ive been salivating over the good things they might have in their family. Black Serpent smiled crookedly: How about we collaborate on a big score? You seem to have already gained the trust of those two girls, right? I bet Liyas legacy is left in that little cat and Little Wolfs house! Liya was a Tier Four Nature Skill Practitioner and a Skill Master. A Tier Four Skill Master wouldnt just die without leaving anything for her daughters, it wouldnt make sense! As Black Serpent spoke, his face contorted into a ferocious snarl, And that little cat dared to disobey me. After taking Liyas stuff, Ill kill both the little cats and the Little Wolf pup. Well split Liyas legacy evenly. If we find any Tier Four Skill Practitioners Sublimation paths, no matter what kind, we can sell them on the black market for money. It would be enough for us to spend for hundreds of generations. What do you think? Want to team up? You might not be a match for that little cat by yourself, her Mutation ability is weird. Luo Xi: [Ding! Your Killing Intent Value towards Black Serpent +80] [Ding! Pre-requisite conditions for Talent triggered, your current Killing Intent Value is 101] [Talent: Immersion can be triggered] [Trigger now?] [Immersion (Killing Intent): While under this state, all your qualities +100%, the power of all your skills/spells +100%, your Critical Strike rate +50%, your Spirit consumption rate +500%, you lose one point of Killing Intent Value per second, and you are very likely to enter a frenzied state. When your Killing Intent Value is depleted, attribute enhancement will be canceled, and the Talent duration cannot exceed ten minutes.] [Ding! Detected that the Traveler is in Dream Synchronization mode, the Talent can directly override the Dream Synchronization mode, and will gain the corresponding status boost, do you wish to use it?] Luo Xi scanned the text with icy eyes. [Yes] Chapter 22 - 22 22 I am kind-hearted and cannot bear to see ?Chapter 22: Chapter 22 I am kind-hearted and cannot bear to see others in pain_1 Chapter 22: Chapter 22 I am kind-hearted and cannot bear to see others in pain_1 After his talent activated, the misty haze in front of Luo Xi vanished, and he felt the sound of thunder resonating within him, as if molten lava had poured into his veins. Terrible stinging pain and immense strength surged together, emitting a deep rumble only he could hear in his guts. Strangely unintelligible murmurs echoed in his mind, accompanied by intense killing intent. Luo Xi lowered his eyes, feeling the power swelling inside him, and said softly, Liya their mother did indeed leave something behind before she departed. The Black Snakes eyes lit up, and his grip loosened considerably, What did she leave behind? Luo Xi looked up and smiled, but there seemed to be a trace of madness in that smile. Perhaps something like maternal love? [Ding! Black Snakes Anger Value +10] Black Snake was stunned for a moment, then realized he had been tricked by Luo Xi again. However, before his rage could erupt, the force from Luo Xis hand suddenly became so great that Black Snake couldnt resist it any longer. The Yuan Su resonance field maintained between the two shattered in an instant! Luo Xis heavy fists brutally repelled Black Snakes, and his speed was much faster than before. He struck with the force of a landslide towards Black Snakes head. In the blink of an eye, the fierce wind pressure from his small fist filled Black Snakes entire field of vision, as if the whole world was bearing down! Black Snakes pupils contracted suddenly. His instincts told him he couldnt block this punch! He might die! In this moment, he became even more certain that Luo Xis approach to Liyas two daughters was definitely with some ulterior motive. An ordinary person simply couldnt master the skill to suddenly unleash several times their strength. So, the truth was only one, just as he had guessed before, this person was after the legacy Liya left behind! There was no other reason! Otherwise, it couldnt be that he was attracted to that little cat or the wolf cub, could it? The cat was one thing, but the wolf cub even for him, who liked men, it seemed somewhat perverted. Under the pressure of impending death, Black Snakes body shuddered violently, and he retreated furiously. The iron spikes he had used to block Luo Xis path of retreat now all raced toward the heart area of Luo Xis back according to Black Snakes intent. If he had known this guy was so troublesome, Black Snake would have never wasted his efforts on the pointless maneuver of setting spikes as a barrier. Instead, he would have gone all out from the beginning. With a robust body, dragging his opponent into a grueling fight, and then using the power brought by the Mutant Factor to launch iron spikes at the enemys vital pointsthat was his true specialty in combat! Many of his glorious past victories had been won with those spikes! Otherwise, why would his subordinates fear him so much? Luo Xi heard the commotion behind him, but at this moment, he didnt care. Maybe the surging killing intent in his heart had muddled his senses, but somehow, this feeling was quite pleasant. Previously, he may have feared the pain and agony that came with injury and death, but now, all he wanted was to smash the bastard before him with his fists, and he didnt care about anything else. However, the iron spikes coming from behind seemed to be blocked by something and did not pierce through his body. So, the punch carrying all of Luo Xis rage and killing intent, enhanced by a Critical Strike, landed on Black Snakes astonished face without any loss of speed. With various buffs included, it was a punch with eight times the strength! Boom! Black Snakes heavy body was blasted into the night, crashing heavily into the ground more than a dozen meters away, smashing the cement and stone slabs beneath into a mess, almost embedding in it. The onlookers from the Snake and Rat Meeting were shaken by this scene. They had all been harshly disciplined by Black Snake and couldnt believe how the strong and sinister Black Snake had been sent flying. Thats Lord Black Snake flying out? Impossible. Why wouldnt Lord Black Snake use his spikes to jab his butt? How could that skinny guy be stronger than Lord Black Snake? No, what are you waiting for? Go help him! You dare? I dont dare to go over there, its too frightening Then hurry back and call for backup! [Ding! Due to excessive consumption of Spirit in a short time, your mental state is going out of control] Luo Xi, struggling to ignore the murmuring voices in his head that sounded like a murmur, turned and looked back. The Cat-eared girl stood a short distance behind him, facing the wind. Her silver hair fluttered, holy and dazzling. At Weiers feet lay a pile of black spikes, and she looked at Luo Xi with a complicated expression. What exactly are you? Weier had heard all of Luo Xi and Black Snakes conversation. Even though she witnessed the mutation features appear on Luo Xi from nothing, Weier was still baffled by Luo Xis displayed combat prowess and that trace of madness in his eyes. A traveler with lost memory? Is that really the case? If it wasnt a coincidence that I brought him back, then what is his purpose? Why does he want to get close to me and Aina? Is it really as the Black Snake said? No, the girl denied this speculation. If it was as the Black Snake said, Luo Xi wouldnt have needed to leave the room at all. Luo Xi managed a forced smile and said, You probably wont believe it if I told you. He turned and walked forward. On the dark streets, Luo Xi staggered forward, finally coming before Black Snake, looking down at a face no longer human-like, covered with blood, and showing an expression of terror. Luo Xi saw a circle of black scales on Black Snakes neck, dense like those of a serpent. First, he touched the scales, then stretched out his hand towards Black Snakes throat. [Your remaining Killing Intent Value: 79] In such a state, I really am peculiar, he thought. Things that I wouldnt dare do or even think about in the past, I can now carry out without hesitation. Black Snake saw the killing intent in Luo Xis eyes, coughing up blood continuously as he moved backward, his voice hoarse, You cant kill me, or the Snake and Rat Meeting wont let you off! Moreover, if you kill me, even if the boss wants to protect those two girls, their future wont be easy either! Our brethren from the Snake and Rat Meeting are of the same root, and they will avenge me! Are you sure about that? Black Snake, dare you repeat that? A muffled voice echoed through the alleys, and in an instant, a profoundly heavy presence descended into the air, pinning the Snake and Rat Meeting members who wanted to slip away in place, too scared to move. Not far away, a middle-aged man wearing a white hat was slowly walking over. Black Snakes eyes first showed a flash of panic upon seeing the newcomer, then he seemed somewhat relieved. Sar?h the N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Even severe punishment would be preferable to death. Weier looked over in surprise, her eyes wide. Uncle Noss? The middle-aged man smiled at the cat-eared girl, then looked down at Black Snake on the ground, saying coldly, Black Snake, look at yourself now, at that shameful appearance. I remember telling you all not to mess with Liyas daughters, didnt you take my words seriously? Black Snake cried and begged, Boss, no, Lord Rat King, I really didnt do it on purpose, please spare my life Heh, its too late now. The middle-aged man took off his hat, revealing two small rodent ears on his head. He smiled at Luo Xi, Young man, can you hand him over to me? Luo Xi looked at the middle-aged man and said seriously, If I hand him to you, what will happen to him? The middle-aged man spoke coldly, Those who dare to disobey my orders, I will make their lives worse than death! Oh, Luo Xi nodded. Crack In almost an instant, Luo Xi extended and pressed his hand, effortlessly crushing Black Snakes neck, so fast that nobody present could react in time. The middle-aged mans expression turned rigid. Weiers red pupils widened. As for Black Snake he died with his eyes wide open. [Ding! Black Snakes fear towards you +999] [Ding! All Snake and Rat Meeting members present fear towards you +100] [Ding! Weiers shock towards you +99] [Ding! Weiers favorability towards you +10] [Ding! Lord Rat Kings anger towards you +50] [Ding! Lord Rat Kings Killing Intent towards you +33] Luo Xi smiled, tore a piece of cloth from Black Snakes body, stood up, and elegantly wiped the fresh blood off his hand, his expression both crazed and serene, Im kind-hearted, cant stand to see others in pain, so its better to send him on his way quickly. [Ding! Traveler, please note, your Killing Intent Value has been exhausted!] (ps1. Seeking followers, recommend tickets, and monthly tickets) (ps2. I hope readers who have reached here can meowD) Chapter 23 - 23 23 Rat King_1 ?Chapter 23: Chapter 23 Rat King_1 Chapter 23: Chapter 23 Rat King_1 Ding! Your existing Killing Intent Value has been depleted. Ding! Talent: Immersion has ended, and you have returned to the normal state of dream synchronization. Remaining synchronization time: 18 minutes 39 seconds. Goddamn kind-hearted! The middle-aged mans mouth twitched slightly as he glanced at the cat-eared girl beside him. He restrained the urge to kill in his eyes, suppressing the desire to slash the person before him then and there. Luo Xi felt as if something had detached from his current body. The madness faded from his eyes, a fog once again clouding his vision. Even the body of the black snake lying next to him became indistinct, and a profound sense of emptiness welled up inside him. It was only then that the events that had just transpired replayed in his mind like a movie. Staring at the black snakes corpse with its eyes still wide open, Luo Xi could not believe that he was truly responsible for it. Was he really that ferocious? The golden Talent: Immersion, the bonus it provided under the influence of killing intent, affected his emotions and personality that much? He hadnt only crushed the black snakes neck but had also blurted out something about being naturally kind-hearted. If any righteous rider saw this, theyd probably team up to give him a good beating. Sear?h the novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The cat-eared girl approached and looked at Luo Xi, then turned to the middle-aged man, opening her mouth as if to speak. Wait a moment. The middle-aged man raised his hand and squinted toward the tremulous members of the Snake and Rat Meeting far off, saying, You all, take the corpse of the black snake and hang it from the lamppost at the entrance of the guild hall as a warning. If you dont follow my commands in the future, this will be your fate. The members of the Snake and Rat Meeting looked at each other; eventually, two men with shaking legs came over and carried away the breathless body of the black snake. After everyone had left, the middle-aged man revealed a smile. He ignored Luo Xi, who was standing to one side, and looked kindly at the cat-eared girl. Little Weier, Im sorry. I had given orders a long time ago not to disturb you and Aina. However, theres always someone disobedient, so this time, black snake deserved to die. Its just that I discovered it too late and allowed you to be wronged. Weier asked incredulously, Uncle Noss, are you really the Rat King of the Snake and Rat Meeting? Ha ha, surprised, arent you? The middle-aged man laughed and then, with some wistfulness, said, If it werent for that damned mission three years ago, your mother Liya wouldnt have met with disaster. Liya was a special friend of mine. As a good friend, its right to care for her daughter. But theres not much more I can help you with. You refused to take direct money from me, so I had to resort to sending you sweet potatoes and pasta. I see, Weier said, struggling to contain her emotions, and asked, So, Uncle Noss, do you know what exactly happened three years ago? Why did my mother and the others I dont know. The Rat King slowly shook his head: By the time we got to the scene, the place was already a mess, with only a few bloodstains left, but not a trace of any body parts. Weier felt disappointed, Really, there were no other traces left? None, the Rat King replied, denying the possibility. The cat-eared girls spirits fell. After all, three years had passed, and she had braced herself for such an outcome, so it wasnt too hard to accept. Then Weier remembered something else and glanced at Luo Xi, who seemed to have lapsed into a dazed state. Uncle Noss, this person didnt do it on purpose. He probably has something like mania or delusional disorder. So sometimes hes kind of silly and other times hes very violent. He fought with the black snake earlier just to defend me and Aina. Could you not blame him? The Rat King smiled warmly, Its okay, this young man also helped me deal with a pest in the guild. Why would I blame this little brother? Its just that his temperament is rather fierce; if he doesnt change that, hell be at a disadvantage if he encounters problems in the future. Young man, I can see that youre quite capable. We havent had a dragon-category mutated Transcender in our Snake and Rat Meeting as of yet. Are you interested in working with us? The salary and conditions are negotiable. Luo Xi had to suppress a laugh. If you hadnt harbored killing intent towards me, maybe I would have really believed your nonsense. His recent behavior of killing the black snake in front of the Rat King was a significant affront to the latters dignity, and Luo Xi did not believe the Rat King could be so magnanimous. Thank you for your kind offer, Luo Xi shook his head, but no thanks, I prefer freedom. Oh, is that so? The Rat King did not seem to mind. Turning to the girl, he said with a smile, Speaking of which, Weier, your birthday must be coming up soon, right? Youll be 16 after your next birthday, right? The cat-eared girl nodded gently, Thats right, its about a week away. The weather hasnt snowed yet, and usually, by this time of year, theres already a thick layer of snow. A week, huh? Very good, very good, the Rat King, putting the white hat he held back on his head, smiled, Uncle Noss will throw you a birthday party when the time comes, to celebrate that youve come of age. Your mother, if she knew, would surely be very happy. Weier quickly shook her head, Theres no need for that. The Rat King patted the girls head, revealing a kind smile: Its okay; just come over when the time comes. Uncle will take care of all the other preparations. Ive got some business to attend to, so Ill be leaving now. By the way, Grey Stone Street might become dangerous in three days. Uncle will come pick you and Little Aina up to take refuge in Winter City. Weier asked in confusion, Why will it become dangerous? The Rat King glanced at Luo Xi and said slowly, A month ago, the Da Yan Empire to the east was attacked by the sixth Origin Disaster, the Locust Disaster Lakast. Although they managed to fend off the main force of the locusts, some remnants have swept over in our direction. Judging by the timing, the aftermath is expected to arrive here in three days. The climate here is not conducive to the locusts, so the danger and destruction should be far less than the wind disaster that passed through ten years ago. But for your safety, its better to take a trip to the city. Weier had an epiphany, So thats why all those Noah Church people evacuated Winter City a week ago? Thats right. The Rat King smiled disdainfully, Theres no one more cowardly and life-preserving than these church members. Theyre terrified of a small aftermath of the Origin Disaster. Are they looking down on the Winter Divine Tree? Ill come to pick you up from your house downstairs in three days time. Remember to stay at home and dont wander off casually. Chapter 24 - 24 24 - Can I pet your cats ears_1 ?Chapter 24: Chapter 24 C Can I pet your cats ears?_1 Chapter 24: Chapter 24 C Can I pet your cats ears?_1 The Rat King left. After Luo Xi refused the Rat Kings invitation, he remained silent, simply observing as a spectator. Unexpectedly, the king of the Snake and Rat Meeting still revealed quite a bit of useful information. Several new entries were added to his to-do list. [Da Yan Empire] [The Sixth Origin Disaster, Locust Disaster, Lekas] He didnt know if it was the kind of locust disaster that filled the skies like in his memory. Probably not, otherwise, it would be too low-level. The cat-eared girl now stood beside him, and under the cover of the fog, Luo Xi could not entirely discern the girls features. On the dimly lit street, after the sounds of fighting subsided, residents began to emerge to investigate the situation, only to immediately retreat upon seeing the ravaged alley. Weier looked at Luo Xi and asked, Are you leaving? Yes. Now? the cat-eared girl asked. Its getting late. Luo Xi smiled, Can I stay at your place for one more night? Its possible, Weier hesitated for a moment then said, But the bed has collapsed because of you, so you can only sleep in the living room tonight. Luo Xi was somewhat taken aback. He shook his head with a smile and said, Never mind, Ill just find a place to stay later. He was not privy to the family circumstances of Weier and Aina, and he knew he had no right to meddle in other peoples affairs. More so as this world seemed touchable, but in reality, there was a barrier as substantial as a phones screen, even the divide between two worlds. He was bound to leave here eventually. The cat-eared girl made no attempt to persuade him to stay. She didnt wish to inquire why Luo Xi was suddenly able to muster strength far beyond what his body was normally capable of. Everyone has secrets, and she was no exception. After hesitating for a long time, Luo Xi still said, I know it might not be a good thing to say, but that Rat King, he might not be a good person. I know, Weier said softly. How could anyone who sits in his position be a good person? However, Uncle Noss has indeed helped me and Aina a lot over the years. Without him, we might have starved to death long ago, and probably would have encountered far more troubles. As long as you are aware of it, Luo Xi paused and then asked, Do you have a map of the nearby area? I have one right now. The cat-eared girl took out a scroll tied with a thin string from her bosom and smiled as she held up four fingers. Do you want the map? I can give it to you, but of course, you have to pay for it, four silver coins. Damn, four silver coins? Luo Xi was shocked. Weiers expression turned slightly displeased, My map doesnt only show the roads to other towns; it also marks many dangerous spots in the nearby wilderness. These were identified at the cost of lives, naturally making it expensive. Besides, Ive saved you twice, doesnt that merit four silver coins? Of course not, Luo Xi took out four silver coins from his bag and placed them in the girls hand. After taking the map, which still retained the warmth of the girls body, he said seriously, What I mean is four silver coins are too little. It should cost four gold coins, but unfortunately, I cant afford it now. Hmph Weier chuckled, her light red eyes swept over Luo Xis face, and she blinked, This side of you is your true nature, isnt it? Not the kind of silly, slightly slow-reacting state, or just the crazed feeling from before. To be honest, the way you were just now almost scared me; that bit about you being a kind-hearted person who cant bear to see others in pain Its just like those big villains described in novels. Its actually just a running gag. Gag? I dont quite understand, but never mind, The cat-eared girl gave her tail a light shake and said, So, is there anything else you want to know? If its not too much trouble, I can help you out again. Luo Xis gaze swept over the girls head, and those slightly soft, furry cat ears were indeed very small and cute. Without thinking, he said: Can I pet your ears? What?! Cat Cat puffed up. Cough, forget I said anything. Then, if fate allows, we shall meet again. Luo Xi waved his hand and quickly stepped away. [Remaining time for this synchronization: 0 minutes 0 seconds] Goodbye Weier raised her small hand and waved it, watching the figure that disappeared into the distance on the street, feeling sentimental. Perhaps from now on, she would never see this person again, right? Her mother had once said that people are like different birds in the sky. They might fly past each other at a certain moment, even flying together for a period of time, but there would always be a time to part, never to see each other again. Its the same for everyone. Suddenly, the girl felt something cold touch her face. Without knowing when, it had begun to snow. Its snowing again, huh. Luo Xi suddenly opened his eyes. Noises and the sound of dripping water reached his ears. It was the dripping from the water tank on the balcony and the voices of students downstairs in the dormitory. Back. Luo Xi looked at his right hand holding the phone, trembling slightly. But soon his hand steadied. The text on the screen was still displaying. [Ding! The Dreamland Synchronization Module has been unlocked] [From now on, Traveler, youll be able to experience the journey of the Dream World more authentically!] [Traveler, youve come to the inn located in an alley on Grey Stone Street that you found during the day] [The innkeeper took one of your silver coins, the cost for accommodation and meals was 40 copper coins, and you let him use the remaining money to prepare a set of clothes and a hat for you] [The innkeeper stared at you for a long time, but still said in a trembling voice that the money wasnt enough to buy a warm thick garment] [You indicated that having clothes to wear was enough] [The innkeeper agreed] Sar?h the ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [He took you to the second floor of the inn, where there were three rooms, all empty] [You chose the middle room, which was very clean and spacious, and there was a stone similar to a warming stone, radiating warmth at the head of your bed] [Traveler, you lay down on the bed, exhausted. Though the injury on your leg wasnt severe, your spirit had declined too much, and you were very tired; you needed to rest] [Traveler, you heard the cheers of some children outside] [You got out of bed and opened the window of the room] [The cold wind, carrying large snowflakes, blew into the room, and you shivered from the cold; you saw some children sneaking out of their homes, chasing after snowflakes all over the street] [Its snowing, huh] [Your Happiness Level +3] [After closing the window, you lay back down in bed. Do you want to go to sleep?] [Yes] [Traveler, you hugged a warming stone and quickly fell into a deep sleep] [You are sleeping soundly] Luo Xi put down the phone and closed the game. The phone displayed the time: 20:25. Unknowingly, he had been playing from just after four in the afternoon until now; his stomach was growling with hunger, and perhaps influenced by the decline in spirit in the game, he felt dizzy and really wanted to sleep. Luo Xi tidied up a bit and took another look at himself in the mirror as he passed by. The little red horns were especially eye-catching. He could see them but couldnt touch them, and wasnt sure if others could see them. He needed to find a few people to test this out. The dormitory next door, room 407. The door of the dormitory was ajar, and Luo Xi walked right in. There were two people in dorm 407. One layabout was still lying in bed, and another fat guy with headphones on was furiously typing on the keyboard, with continuous crude remarks about his teammates family members spilling from his mouth. Old Sun, do you see anything on my head? The fat guy briefly glanced over but the game he was playing had reached a critical point, so he couldnt look away for long. Huh? Luo Xi? When did you get back? What did you just say? Is there anything on my head? Nothing! Damn it, Yasuo your mothers curry people are all gone Uh, you keep playing, okay. Luo Xi looked up at the guy in the bed, Old Zhou, what about you? Do you see anything on my head? The guy in the bed glanced down, What thing? I dont see anything. Then never mind, Im heading out. Luo Xi closed the door and then went down to the first floor of the dormitory, pretending to ask Auntie at the front desk a few questions and deliberately shook his head in her sight. The dormitory supervisor didnt show any odd reactions. Luo Xi left the dormitory building satisfied. It seemed that except for himself, others probably couldnt see the abnormalities on his head. What Luo Xi didnt know was that after he swiped his card and left the dormitory, the dormitory supervisor muttered to herself, Young people these days, why do they like to show off these strange costumes? I just dont understand. As for the guy in bed in room 407, he got out of bed and carefully put on his contact lenses. The second-floor restaurant in the cafeteria. Luo Xi ordered a fried rice with extra rice, egg, sausage, and chicken cutlet at the window. Twenty yuan. He felt that this meal probably would not be enough to fill his stomach. Once the fried rice was ready, and smelling its aroma, Luo Xi immediately dug in heartily. At that moment, a few girls coming to have late-night snacks came over with an empty plate, probably to return it to the collection cart, but they suddenly stopped in front of Luo Xis table. Excuse me, could you tell us what that is on your head? Luo Xis hand stiffened, and he stopped his chopsticks, his mouth twitching as he said: You can see them? Of course, we can see; were not blind. The girl nodded, curiously asking, Is this a cosplay? Can I touch your horns? No! Luo Xi was dumbfounded. Was this what they called instant karma? The girls: ini! If you dont want to be touched, just say so. Why is he shouting so loudly? Hey, doesnt this guy look a bit like the cat-petting dude that went viral in the friends circle this afternoon? Chapter 25 - 25 25 - Three dimensions no Otaku yes_1 ?Chapter 25: Chapter 25 C Three dimensions, no, Otaku, yes_1 Chapter 25: Chapter 25 C Three dimensions, no, Otaku, yes_1 Luo Xi shoveled all the fried rice from his plate into his mouth, gulping it down in a few big bites. Under the stunned gazes of the girls, he didnt answer any of their questions; instead, he chose to take to his heels and bolt. Why did he feel like he was getting increasingly skilled at making a run for it Damn it, Luo Xi was really pissed off right now. Those two sons of guns from the dorm next door actually teamed up with the dorm supervisor Auntie to pull a fast one on him. Old Sun and Old Zhou, those two guys, were somewhat understandableone was busy pounding the keyboard, exchanging pleasantries with his teammates about each others families, and the other was pretending to be dead, lying there until he was dizzy. But why didnt the dorm supervisor Auntie have any reaction at all? Sar?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. My dear Auntie, you saw something you normally couldnt see. Could you at least give me a look of surprise? Under the cover of night, Luo Xi went to a food stall outside the school and picked out a big white hat to purchase. Until he figured out how to make this thing on his head disappear, Luo Xi planned on wearing this hat all the time. Not gonna lie, the hat did look quite dashing on him. Charm +1! On the way back to campus, Luo Xi saw that there was no one around, and an idea popped into his head. He tried to smash his fist into the ground. Bang! A soft thud. Luo Xi moved his fist away to see a fine crack appearing in the concrete ground. He looked at his fist, which was somewhat pale. Although he had held back quite a bit with this punch, it still felt a lot weaker compared to when he was fighting Black Snake. It seemed like something was limiting his strength output. The game text had stated that enhancements and changes to the game character in the Dream world would be equally reflected on his real-life self. Thus Luo Xis current surge in strength was obviously a result of changes to his game character. But this reflected change was not identical; otherwise, the punch just now would have at least left a crater in the concrete. Moreover, in the Dream world, he could genuinely touch the horn on his head, but in reality, he could only see it and not touch it. Why was that? He didnt get it. What was different about this world he was in from the Dream world in the game? Luo Xi recalled in detail all those scenes and memories from the game. The questions he had discussed with Weier flashed through his mind one by one. Sublimation abilities, Mutant Factor, the Eternal World Tree No, it wasnt those. He remembered a term. The flawless Yuan Su. Thats right, unlike the Dream world, this world he inhabited didnt contain a thing called Yuan Su. When Luo Xi was controlling his game character in the Dream world, he could clearly perceive an abundance of unidentified energy constantly swirling around him, interacting with his body with every movement. While exchanging blows with Black Snake, a strange energy surged from his body, intertwined with Black Snakes energy, creating a peculiar field that froze their actions in place. This kind of unscientific thing probably didnt exist in reality; otherwise, there would have been a bunch of people with superpowers by now. Luo Xi had a hunch. Although the scarlet Dragon Horn could be projected, because his body didnt have enough Yuan Su and couldnt transform into a physical state, it resulted in the awkward situation where he could see it but not touch it. That made sense. Perhaps this was also the reason why the Mutation Syndrome he contracted in reality was far milder than in the game. After all, without Yuan Su, the Mutant Factor related to it likely had very limited effects. So, did this mean that if he stopped playing Dawn from now on, the Mutation Syndrome wouldnt progress and worsen? Luo Xi couldnt be certain. Nor did he dare to gamble. He was unsure if this was the first closed beta test of the game. If what the push notification said when he downloaded the game was true, then there were at least a hundred thousand players out there in reality. Out of over seven billion people worldwide, if the player slots were distributed evenly, thered be at most around 20,000 players from Xia country. That small amount of people, scattered across over a thousand counties in the country, wouldnt make much of a splash. But what if there was a second or third closed beta? Or an open beta? If other people could also gain strength in the game, then the world, as compared to before, would undoubtedly begin to undergo gradual changes. Luo Xi felt a strong sense of urgency in his heart. It wasnt just because of his own issues. Humanitys uncertainty about the future could make anyone panic and anxious. Dorm room 408. When Luo Xi returned, the two postgraduate exam candidates had already come back from the library. A young man wearing glasses peeked down from the bunk above, chuckling, Yo yo, long time no see, Luo Xi. I didnt see you when I came back and thought Old Wang had tricked me. Why would I trick you, his beds all made, Wang Yuanjie replied with a smile, then asked, Where did you go just now, Little mule? For some reason, the railing on our dorm balcony broke, and I thought you had fallen off and scared me to death. Went to buy something to eat, Luo Xi said. Figured. But why are you wearing a hat? Wang Yuanjie asked somewhat puzzled. Luo Xi replied without hesitation, Because it looks cool. Since when did you start caring about appearances, eh? Chen Yao teased, After working for three months, youre not thinking about changing your ways and getting off the singles train, are you, Luo Xi? Luo Xi responded casually, Maybe. Ah? Who is it? Is it that Ai Xue from horticulture? Chen Yao sat up on the bed, brimming with gossip, Speaking of which, you really dont know how blessed you are. If a pretty girl liked me, I wouldve accepted her in a heartbeat. But you, you kept turning her down several times, even went as far as to block her WeChat and phone number. Ah? Luo Xi was taken aback for a few seconds. Then he recalled the Ai Xue that Chen Yao was talking about, a junior he met during a volunteer activity in the second semester of his sophomore year. Ai Xue was actually quite pretty, with a good figure, but for some inexplicable reason, she became fixated on him. Heaven and earth as witness, he was just tagging along with the group to pad his volunteer hours for credit, and somehow he caught her interest. From the end of his sophomore year to the beginning of his senior year, Luo Xi had firmly rejected her overt and covert confessions six times. The reasons for rejection were always: Im sorry, youre not my type. Or Im already seeing someone. Others might not know, but his dorm mates were well aware of the situation. After a few times, they started wondering if Luo Xi might be into guys. They even went to bed each night clutching their own buttocks, fearing for their safety. Wouldnt anyone like a girl who was both pretty and curvy? Oh, you say you have a girlfriend? Where is she? With an unchanged expression, Luo Xi declared, My wives are in anime and games! Chapter 26 - 26 26 When to Marry a Beast Eared Girl_1 ?Chapter 26: Chapter 26 When to Marry a Beast Eared Girl_1 Chapter 26: Chapter 26 When to Marry a Beast Eared Girl_1 Of course it wasnt her. Face-to-face with his roommates skepticism, Luo Xi picked up his phone and gave it a shake, laughing, Ive said it before, Im not interested in three-dimensional women, only 2D characters can be my wife! Chen Yao immediately lost interest. Pssh! Boring, Im going to sleep. Wang Yuanjie said dubiously, Then why did you block her this semester? Stop talking about it! Grinding his teeth, Luo Xi said, That day, just as I was changing some materials, her call suddenly popped up. My phone glitched, my finger slipped, and the more than twenty thousand in red bills I was planning to use all got swapped for a thousand pieces of utterly useless crap. Ill probably never use them up even till the game servers shut down. I was so angry I blocked all her contacts. Its not like they were any use to keep. Wang Yuanjie: Some people are truly destined to be single. Luo Xi went into the bathroom to wash his feet, then climbed into bed as well. Sear?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Actually, the whole liking 2D characters thing was just a joke. The real reason was that he couldnt even afford to feed himself; previously, every time he went to the cafeteria, he had to think about whether or not to get a meat dishwhere would he find the spare cash to keep a beautiful girlfriend? You might unexpectedly end up wearing a green grass hat. Arent there enough cases like this in society? Moreover, nowadays having a 2D character for a wife doesnt seem impossible, right? Perhaps bringing back a beast eared lolita from the game wouldnt be too bad ahem. Engrossed in his wild thoughts, Luo Xi finally checked his investment app after a long time and took a look. He had been too preoccupied with recent events to pay attention to this little reserve fund of his. ?! Why is everything green? Luo Xi hastily closed the investment app. Definitely opened it wrong. So he opened it again. Emmmm Good lord, a steep drop of eight points, losing over 700 yuan today. If this goes on, hed be begging on the streets before he even graduated. Should he pull the money out? Forget it, withdrawing it now would probably see it gone even faster. Luo Xi exited the fund app with some sadness and launched Dawn. [Traveler, your character is currently sleeping] [Ding! Traveler, your Sadness Value +20] This game really has a firm grasp on my emotions. Luo Xi tapped on a new module that appeared with a cloud-like symbol in the top right corner. [Dreamland Synchronization Module (Cooling down)] [Description: After using this module, you can synchronize and enter your character in the Dream world. Each synchronization can last no longer than 30 minutes, with a cooldown period of 24 hours] [Kind Reminder: In the Dreamland Synchronization mode, unless the Traveler dies, you cannot exit the Dream world. Please pay attention to your safety when using this feature] Luo Xi yawned. It was time for him to sleep as well. Hang City, a high-rise apartment in the city center. A man sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of his living room, sipping a glass of wine leisurely, enjoying the delicate taste of expensive red wine, like a refined prince If his other hand wasnt furiously tapping on the phone screen. [Poor Traveler, you have been followed by a pack of Chasing Wind Wolves. Your speed is fast, but the Wind Wolves are also not slow. They can smell your scent and keep up with you] [Traveler, please find a human settlement as soon as possible. The snow is getting heavier, and you feel your temperature and physical strength gradually slipping away.] [Traveler, you have eaten a [Special Onigiri], and some of your physical strength has been restored!] Damn, do these wolves have a grudge against me or what! Theyve been chasing me for half a day, and theyre still after me even when its dark. Do they want to eat me that badly? The man felt on the verge of tears. When he entered the game, he chose two agility-related talents. The combination was very powerful, but the downside was also related to agility. The talents are as follows: [Posing as Wind (Purple/Epic): Your agility stat gets a final increase of +100%. You walk with a special charm (your asking for a beating value +100), which makes you very attractive to others, but also more likely to get beaten up (Posing as Wind, always at my side!)] [Swift Runner (Blue/Rare): Your agility stat +20 (Nobody is born faster than me!)] When choosing talents, there was only one purple talent and two blue talents, plus one green talent for him to consider, so the man went for what seemed like the best combination. As for the side effects of the purple talent, he ignored them outright. No doubt about it, this was definitely the developers messing around. And yet the man remembered all too well the dozens of townspeople who had chased after him, wanting to beat him up because he looked at them wrong, plus the pack of wolves that had been on his tail ever since he left the town. It almost broke his spirit. Not to mention the time he nearly got beaten up by security guards at the supermarket, mistaking him for a thief. What the hell was all this! [Traveler, you see a giant tree emitting a soft glow ahead. It is bestowing its blessing on a vast city.] [New Area Unlocked: Winter City] The mans face lit up with joy. Damn, finally found it! The nearby major city, with a population of three hundred thousand, would definitely offer plenty of opportunities! [The Chasing Wind Wolves have stopped their pursuit. Traveler, you are temporarily safe.] The man breathed a sigh of relief. Survived. The feeling of being drained after dying multiple times, which left him bedridden without a trace of strength, and at the mercy of any criminal who entered his home, was something he never wanted to experience again. [Do you want to enter Winter City?] [Yes] [You have arrived at the gates of Winter City.] [The guards say they wont let anyone in at night. They suggest you come back tomorrow and tell you if you continue walking to the right, there is an area established against the city wall called Variant Settlement. Although it is filthy and disgusting, the inn there could accommodate you for the night, saving you from dying of cold.] [Traveler, do you want to go take a look?] That gathering place must be Grey Stone Street the map mentioned, right? Where a lot of Beast Eared Girls gather. The man put down his phone, showing a sly grin. That kind of place usually has very fun spots, doesnt it? The synchronization feature he had unlocked yesterday could really come in handy now! Lovely, beautiful beast eared sisters, here I come! After midnight, under the radiant light of the Winter Divine Tree, the city entered a tranquil sleep, with only snowflakes and cold wind sweeping across the land. As the night deepened, the snow became heavier, piling up along the streets. In the inn, a young mans chest rose and fell gently on the bed, unmistakably asleep. A shadow in black appeared at the foot of the young mans bed, silently reaching out to touch the young mans forehead gently. A green mark that looked like a twisted snake flashed for a moment on the young mans forehead. Hmmph. The shadow hummed lightly, nodding in satisfaction, then disappeared on the spot. [Ding! Traveler, you have been cursed] Chapter 27 - 27 27 Whos backstabbing me_1 ?Chapter 27: Chapter 27 Whos backstabbing me?_1 Chapter 27: Chapter 27 Whos backstabbing me?_1 The next day, when Luo Xi awoke, his two roommates had already gotten up early to form a team and head to the library to study, leaving the entire dormitory as empty as a rental property. Luo Xi rubbed his eyes, sat up, and fished his cellphone out from a hanging basket nearby. He hadnt died even once in the game yesterday, so today he hadnt been drained by that so-called great will, and he was feeling great, as if he could punch a cow to death. Dawn, start! Anxious to get into the game, Luo Xi prepared to begin his true journey in this world. After all, Winter City wouldnt let him in, and he had already provoked the big boss behind Grey Stone Street, so it was clear that he no longer belonged in this place. In any game, players must eventually leave the newbie village. Though it was unclear if Winter City counted as a newbie village. It was regrettable that he wouldnt see those two cute beast-eared girls anymore, without having patted any of their ears or tails. Especially Little Ainas fluffy Big Tail, he really wanted to pat it with his own handsahem. With a sigh, Luo Xi entered the game. [Traveler, you have finally returned!] [Ding! Traveler, while you were asleep last night, you have unfortunately contracted an Intermediate Corruption Curse! Based on your physical condition, the curse will take effect for 3 days.] [Ding! Traveler, you have acquired a negative status: Life CorrosionYour all qualities are reduced by 11% (Every moment you will feel the acute pain of your internal organs decaying, and with time, death will draw nearer, deteriorating your physical condition.)] An opening thunderstrike! Luo Xi: ???? What the hell is going on? The shock was greater than seeing all his funds in red last night. How did his perfectly fine game character wake up to find himself afflicted with a life-threatening curse? Luo Xi found a detailed description of the curse in his characters status template. [Intermediate Corruption Curse: After the curse takes effect, your internal flesh and organs will gradually decay, and you will die amidst unbearable pain and panic.] [Your remaining life span: 63 hours] [Note: Poor Traveler, obviously, someone quietly plotted against you while you were soundly sleeping last night, inflicting you with such a vicious spell. They didnt wish to kill you outright, but rather to have you suffer and die in agony.] [You dont know who cursed you, but you have your suspicions.] [After all, since coming to Grey Stone Street, the only people youve truly provoked are two, right?] [One has already had his neck snapped by your hand, and people in Dream World cannot resurrect after death, so it cant be Black Snake.] [The other, known as King Rat, seems amiable and dignified but has developed a killing intent towards you. Could it be him?] Is there even a need for suspicion? In Luo Xis relationship module, there were only six people in total, not counting the dead old hag from who knows where and the unscrupulous guards of Winter City. It couldnt possibly have been those two Little Lolitas who plotted against him, could it? Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Traveler, you already have the answer in your heart.] [So Traveler, what will be your next move?] [ Stick to the original plan and leave Winter City, heading to other towns.] [ Find a way to make the bastard who backstabbed you pay.] Luo Xi narrowed his eyes. King Rats character truly lived up to his reputation for bearing grudges. As the behind-the-scenes boss of Grey Stone Street, he would actually stoop to sneaking into someones room at night to cast curses. He had the means to kill him silently, yet he used a curse, was it to let him die in fear and anxiety due to the deadly curse? Too bad for him, his game character could resurrect, and dying this time would be nothing more than losing a life. Whats more, as long as he didnt log into the game personall, he wouldnt even feel the pain inflicted on his character in the game. Revenge? As much as he wanted it, it was difficult. It was obvious that they werent on the same level of power. He also wondered whether King Rats affection for the two Lolitas was sincere or not. Was such an old fox truly as loyal and righteous as he claimed to be? Luo Xi had his doubts. However, at least for this period, they should be safe. King Rat had even mentioned celebrating Weiers birthday a week later, which seemed on the surface to reveal the responsibility of a caring elder. [Traveler, you couldnt bear to leave like this. You need to find a way to make the person who backstabbed you pay.] [You also began to doubt the motives of King Rat caring for Liyas two daughters.] [Enduring the severe pain within, you crawled out of bed. Due to the curses effect, your mobility was drastically reduced.] [Your Happiness Level -29] [Had it been the old you, you surely wouldnt have been able to get up, right?] [Your hatred value for King Rat +21] [You got out of bed and opened the window, and a chilly wind rushed in, carrying loads of snowflakes. You saw that Grey Stone Street was covered in a vast expanse of pure white, with visibility nearly obscured beyond ten meters.] [Well, even if you wanted to leave this place, youll have to wait until the snow stops.] [You put on the clothes and hat prepared by the inns proprietor last night, which meant no one could see the horns on your head, and you blended into the environment of Grey Stone Street.] [You descended the stairs, and the innkeeper, seeing you, nervously told you that the severe winter was approaching. Soon, heavy snow would block the mountains and roads, suggesting that you should leave Grey Stone Street immediately and head to the warmer regions in the east or south, or find a place to spend the winter.] [Traveler, you heard footsteps, someone was coming down from the upper floor.] [Aside from you, there was another guest at the inn last night?] [Ding! Detection of the other partys title: Otherworld Traveler.] [Otherworld Traveler: When two Otherworld Travelers come within 10 meters of each other, they will recognize each others identities.] [Ding! Traveler, for the first time in Dream World, you have met a soul from another land like yourself.] [Your Happiness Level +1] [Your surprise value +33] [Your Alertness Value +12] Luo Xi was somewhat taken aback. Another player? Come to think of it, wasnt the title of Otherworld Traveler given at the beginning of the game? It even had this hidden effect. [Traveler, the other party recognized you as well and seemed very happy. He told you his name was Chu Tianwen, from Xia country. Would you tell him your name and origin?] [ Ignore this person.] [ Tell him your name is (editable this time).] After thinking for a moment, Luo Xi typed a few random characters. [You told him your name was Chu Jiuge, also from Xia country.] [The other party was taken aback by your response.] Chapter 28 - 28 28 Wei’er How did that unfortunate guy come ?Chapter 28: Chapter 28 Weier: How did that unfortunate guy come back again!_1 Chapter 28: Chapter 28 Weier: How did that unfortunate guy come back again!_1 On the soft silk cotton double bed, the man tapped his phone screen with some surprise. Other players aside from himself! After playing the game for three days, he finally encountered one! Ever since he learned about the mystery of this game, he had been wondering if it was possible to meet other players. However, the Dream World seemed vastly huge; it wouldnt be easy for a hundred thousand players distributed like in reality across different parts of the Dream World to come across each other. [Traveler, the other party has responded to you, revealing his name is Chu Jiuge and that he is also from Xia country.] [Note: Isnt that coincidental? Have you ever considered meeting offline?] Damn coincidental, my ass, the guy clearly made up a new name going off the one I gave! Make something up by all means, but at least change the surname, right? The man started furiously tapping the screen again. [Traveler, you asked if the other party was willing to share emotions with you?] [The other party has agreed.] [Desperate for interaction, you immediately ask him if there are any beautiful Beast Eared Girls on Grey Stone Street and if he would guide you, youre willing to pay and take him along for fun.] The mans face turned red in an instant. Damn, cancel that, quickly cancel it, my game character must be cursed! Who said I want to go looking for Beast Eared Girls! Dont make decisions on my behalf, okay!] [Traveler, Chu Tianwen has suggested sharing emotions with you. What is your choice?] [Refuse] [Agree] Luo Xi frowned. What the hell does share emotions mean? Could this player also be a homo? (Annoyed) But if I can get some useful information from another player, just having a casual talk wouldnt be too bad. [Agree] [Ding! Traveler, the other party expressed his particular interest in the Beast Eared Sisters of this place, asking if you had any way to find them. Hes willing to pay you, and you all can have fun together.] [Your Confusion Level +33] [Your Confusion Level +11] Luo Xi: ??? Is this what the other party meant by sharing emotions? Something is off with this person! [Note: With the title Suspicious Pervert you dont have the right to judge others~] Damn it! Isnt this stupid text forcing this on me! Come to think of it, apart from that initial title of Otherworld Traveler, none of the titles the game gave me are of any use. [Note: Traveler, are you sure? Trading 10 points of Intelligence for 30 points of Favorability from the beast-eared Lolita, are you sure its not worth it?] Maybe a little worth it if I raise my Intelligence some more [Traveler, you hesitated~] Fxxk, Luo Xi suddenly realized he was being led astray by this damn text. Instead of reading my mind, you should hurry up and get to the main point! [Traveler, you no longer wish to deal with this strange person. Youre currently suffering the pain of your body being eroded by the curse and have no mood to listen to someone elses nonsense. Amidst his pleas, you forcefully push open the door of the inn and walk out into the heavy snow.] [The temperature outside has dropped to below minus ten degrees. The wind, carrying snowflakes, hits your face and seeps into your clothes, your body rapidly losing heat.] [You realize that leaving Grey Stone Street under these conditions is nothing but a dream. No matter how strong your Physique is, without enough clothes to stay warm in the wilderness, you will inevitably become an icicle, especially since you are afflicted with a curse that spells certain death for you.] [You need to find a place to take shelter from the snow, but you dont have a single penny left in your pocket, so staying in an inn is out of question.] [Perhaps you could wander around, see if you can find an empty, abandoned house to move into.] [You begin to walk around this long, snow-white street, facing the snowstorm.] [Do you want to speed up the process?] Yes, x30. Sarch* The N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Luo Xi didnt want to wait and immediately cranked up the speed to the maximum. [Traveler, succumbing to the double blow of the cold and internal pain, you eventually collapse on the road. At that moment, a group of people approaches from the opposite direction, passing by you one after another without so much as offering a hand to help or even sparing you a glance.] Luo Xi felt somewhat helpless. Whatever, if Im bound to die sooner or later, I may as well restart early. [Just then, someone comes over, following the stream of people, crouches down in front of you, and asks with a complex tone, Whats wrong with you now?] [Traveler, your Happiness Level +12] Grey Stone Street. After a night of heavy snowfall, the road was covered with a thick layer of snow. Since the snow continued to fall, no one had yet gone to clear it away. This morning, many people who had ventured out returned to Grey Stone Street amidst the snow. They had dark complexions and were mostly lean, displaying various mutation features such as beast ears, scales, and some even had arms resembling those of certain animals. These individuals were miners who worked at the Essence Mineral vein five kilometers away. After the withdrawal of the Noah Church, the mining of the Essence Mineral vein continued for a week. Now with the heavy snow, the temperature inside the mines dropped significantly during the day, making normal work impossible, which is why the miners were allowed to return home by the mine supervisors. Along the road stood a three-story building. A little Lolita with tea gold eyes and wolf ears was lying in front of a third-floor window, watching the continuous stream of people trudging through the snow passing by below. Squeak The door to the living room was pushed open. Weier placed the bags of grain she had bought on the ground, and walked over to grab Ainas lifted tail, saying angrily, Why are you lying here in the cold wind again? Uu, Sister Weier, let Aina watch a little longer, just a little longer. The little Lolita unhappily pushed her sisters hand away and continued to stick her head out to watch below. Groups of people headed towards different parts of Grey Stone Street. However, as the number of people dwindled, Ainas spirits sank, and her tail drooped down. Weier let out a light sigh. She knew what Aina was thinking. Was it because their mother had left during a snowfall, that perhaps, she might return as it snowed again? Two years ago, she had held the same thought. But now, she knew it was nothing more than a one-sided consolation. The cat-eared girl covered Aina with a small blanket from the sofa, Dont catch a cold, okay? Aina knows! Aina nodded and said, Sister Weier, this years snow seems so heavy, much heavier than before. Mhm, although it came a bit late, the snowfall does seem to be heavier than in previous years. Weier too approached the window, looking at the broken, rusty iron staircase, wondering how much it would cost to repair it. Wait, why bother repairing it? Aina usually stayed at home and didnt go out, and she didnt need the staircase when leaving the house herself. Moreover, if there hadnt been a staircase yesterday, that bastard Black Snake wouldnt have been able to come up. Good idea, she decided not to fix it! Aina remembered something and asked in a low voice, Sister, did that big brother really leave? I dont know. The cat-eared girl wasnt sure either. With such heavy snow, the wilderness would soon turn into a snow field, and it was difficult to travel through the dangerous wilderness on foot. Weier frowned and said, By the way, Aina, youve mentioned him several times since last night. You didnt spend that much time with him; why do you care so much about him? Aina doesnt know why either. The wolf-eared little Lolita bit her finger, blinked her large eyes, and said in a cute dumb way, Anyway, Aina just feels that Brother Luo Xi is very kind, I felt it from the moment I first saw him. Dont you think so, Sister? And Brother Luo Xi was really cool when he sent Black Snake flying out yesterday! Weier: To be honest, she too found Luo Xi quite pleasing to the eye. Otherwise, why would she have brought home Luo Xi when he was injured? If it had been some fierce-looking person lying there, she probably wouldnt have given them a second glance. Thinking back now, that young man seemed to possess a unique magic that made them naturally let down their guard. Eh, Sister, Aina thinks she can smell Brother Luo Xis scent! The little Lolita wrinkled her nose and extended her head to look into the distance, her brown-black hair instantly gathering a fair amount of snow. Anyway, its none of our business anymore, maybe he was planning to leave today. Weier said casually. Sister Weier. Aina pulled on Weiers clothes, Look, Sister, is that person lying on the ground in the distance Brother Luo Xi? Huh? Let me see It does seem to be him The cat-eared girl became unsettled, What happened to that guy again; how can he be so unlucky? Chapter 29 - 29 29 The Cat-Eared Girl Wont Pick Up Bad Luck ?Chapter 29: Chapter 29 The Cat-Eared Girl Wont Pick Up Bad Luck Eggs _1 Chapter 29: Chapter 29 The Cat-Eared Girl Wont Pick Up Bad Luck Eggs _1 [The cat-eared girl crouched down in front of you, wearing a thick cotton coat today that made her look quite puffy. She gazed at you with a complicated expression, asking what had happened to you.] [Traveler, do you want to tell her what youre currently facing?] [ Yes] [ No] Luo Xis fingers hesitated for a moment, then he chose 2. [You slowly stood up, and told her that a sudden gust of wind had knocked you to the ground and that you were okay, nothing serious.] [Weier narrowed her eyes scrutinizing your body.] [Youre dying, she said. I smell the scent of decay coming off you; its some type of curse skill, right? Come with me, maybe I can save you.] [Ding! Your Shock Value +11] [You were silent for a long while.] [It wasnt until Weier walked back, looking over her shoulder at you with an urging glance, that you silently followed her.] [Traveler, you suddenly realize that the current development might not be such a bad choice.] [In Weiers house, not only could you spend more time with those two adorable beast-eared girls, youd also be able to keep a close eye on the movements of that Rat King.] [How would he react if he found out you had returned to the girls home? You were very curious.] [Weier led you to the broken iron staircase on the second floor. With a light jump, she entered through the open door, while you, trying to imitate her, were stopped by her reprimand.] [Do you want to take down the remaining half of the stairs too? I havent even asked you to pay for this broken part yet! Heres a rope; you still have the strength to climb it, right?] [Weier dropped down a rope from above, you grabbed onto it and were pulled up by the girl.] [Traveler, youve been picked up by the cat-eared girl and brought back home again.] [Note: Strange, arent these kinds of stories usually the other way around? Wont Cat-Eared Girls Pick up the Unlucky?] Luo Xi: (??)! It seemed like the commentary in the text had some sense to it this time. [Note: Traveler full of tricks, did you do it on purpose?] Slander! That was slander! Who knew that after wandering around Grey Stone Street for a while, he was brought down by the severe cold and negative statuses. Then, coincidentally, Weier saw him and noticed the deadly curse he was under. Huh? Was it really a coincidence, or had he done it on purpose? Luo Xi himself started to doubt. [Big brother! I knew it was you!] [You heard Ainas soft and cute voice.] [The little wolf-eared Lolita, wagging her tail, looked at you. Her tea-gold eyes filled with joy. She took a few steps as if wanting to get closer to you, but ultimately stopped about a meter away, hesitating.] [Ding! Ainas current Favorability towards you is: 113 (A handsome big brother to trust)] [Description: She considers you trustworthy, but because the contact hasnt been long, the shy girl doesnt dare to get too close to you.] Ah, when did he raise the little Lolitas Favorability so high? The favorability system in this text game wasnt as nonsensical as in some novels, where after a rise in favorability females would give away everything; although Ainas Favorability had exceeded 100, it only meant she considered him trustworthy. What lay beyond trust in terms of Favorability? [Note: Favorability only affects the other persons impression and recognition of you. Merely raising Favorability wont deepen the relationship. If you wish to take your relationship with the little Lolita to the next level, then you should first learn how to interact and date girls~] Luo Xi: What the heck was taking it to the next level? The commentary in the text kept getting more sinister. [Weier had you sit on the sofa in the living room, while she sat opposite you, surveying you with squinted eyes. Aina brought over a small stool and sat beside her sister, both fixing their gaze on you.] [Both girls tails were swaying unconsciously, sometimes even touching each other.] [Your Happiness Level +16] [After observing you for a while, Weier opened her red pupils and stated slowly, The curse you have contracted seems to be some sort of mid-tier Curse skill. Ordinary purification scrolls probably wont do the job.] [You were fine when you left last night, how did you become like this today? Who has cursed you?] [A curse! Aina exclaimed in alarm. Brother Luo Xi is cursed? Is it the kind where you close your eyes and never wake up again, requiring a knights kiss to come back?] Luo Xi: ?] [Your Confusion Level +13] Sar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [You wondered if the little wolf-eared Lolita had been reading too many novels or watching too many dramas in her spare time?] [Weier couldnt help but let out a giggle.] [The girl, thinking of your presence in front of her, quickly composed herself and said, I can break the curse on you, but you need to first tell me how you ended up with it.] [You told the cat-eared girl that you just slept in the inn last night and woke up like this today, not knowing who had cast the curse on you.] [Have you made any enemies recently? Curses are generally used only by certain Specialized Transcendents or those Mutated Transcenders with unique factors, Weier inquired.] [You shook your head, indicating that you had no enemies, and for some reason, you did not disclose your suspicion.] [Some things, after all, are not as impactful when said by yourself as they are when the other party figures them out on their own.] [The cat-eared girls expression fluctuated for a moment.] [The sharp girl quickly surmised that it might be the work of the Rat King, but she was somewhat reluctant to believe that an elder she respected would engage in such sneaky curse-casting.] [Weier asked you to sit for a while on the sofa while she got up and entered the bedroom.] [In the living room, only you and Aina were left facing each other.] [Aina blinked her big eyes at you and said with a sly smile, Brother Luo Xi, you know debts have to be paid back, right?] [You nodded; repaying debt was a matter of course, the same everywhere.] [Aina spoke mysteriously, Then do you know how much the thing Sister Weier is going to get to save you is worth?] Luo Xi had a bad feeling in his heart. [Anxiously, you asked, How much?] [Aina fiddled with her fingers and said, If a Tier Three purification scroll doesnt work, then wed need a Tier Four purification scroll. I hear those sell for at least 100 gold coins on the outside, maybe even priceless, not something you can simply buy with money.] Chapter 30 - 30 30 Its not a crime to like Aina_1 ?Chapter 30: Chapter 30: Its not a crime to like Aina_1 Chapter 30: Chapter 30: Its not a crime to like Aina_1 [Traveler, you feel a bit dizzy in the head.] [One gold coin, based on the price of sweet potatoes in your world, is almost equivalent to 8,000 dollars. And the thing that Weier is about to use on you is worth eighty thousand?] [Youve never seen so much money in your life!] [Suddenly, you have the urge to slip away and bolt.] [It would be better to just die and resurrect instead.] [Brother Luo Xi, you dont need to worry too much about not being able to pay.] [At this moment, Ainas cute voice is like a death-invoking demon in your ears.] [Sister Weier must know that you dont have any money, Brother Luo Xi, so she wont pressure you to pay it back.] [But] [Hearing the word but, you knew there was a twist coming.] [Aina said with a giggling smile: Brother Luo Xi, youre not the type of ungrateful person who receives others kindness and then leaves without giving anything in return, right?] Luo Xi: This little greed-driven Lolita seems somewhat scheming, doesnt she? [Suddenly, Aina stood up from the chair, sat down next to you, and the scent of the little girl was quite pleasant.] [Your Happiness Level +13.] [Aina tilted her head to look at you, her tea gold eyes seemed to speak: So, Brother Luo Xi, look how heavily its snowing outside. It probably wont stop for a few days. Aina hopes that after youve recovered, you can stay here for a period of time, preferably until the spring of next year before you leave.] [Your Shock Value +36.] [Your Happiness Level +23.] [Note: Traveler, arent you secretly rejoicing?] Thats nonsense, what secret joy, mine is happiness out in the open no! Im happy because I can legitimately stay at their house, so then I can keep an eye on that Rat King who tricked me once. Its certainly not for any other reason! [You curiously asked: Why do you want me to stay?] [The little girl said without hesitation: After Sister Weiers birthday this year, she will be 16 years old and can start looking for a husband. In that case, Aina could have an additional brother-in-law.] [Your Shock Value +45.] Luo Xi: (?)!!! Is it really okay for you to be selling out your sister like this? And thinking about marriage at only 16 seems a bit early, doesnt it? [No way!] [Traveler, in order to avoid losing the qualification of being a human, you forcefully stated your position.] [Why not? Aina pouted and said: Dont you think Sister is beautiful?] [Its not about whether shes beautiful or not. You said seriously: These kind of decisions cannot be made just after a sentence or two.] [Note: Actually, Traveler, deep down you really want to agree, dont you?] Shut up, can you turn off this darn commentary! [Traveler, you suddenly feel a tickling on your arm.] [It turns out to be Ainas big tail that touched you as it swayed.] [You subconsciously gave the tail a gentle pat.] [Warm, smooth, so soft nice! Youve petted the big tail!] [Ding! Your Happiness Level +40.] [Note: Whats with this happiness?] [Ah!] [Aina let out a soft cry when she noticed what you were doing. Her small face blushed slightly, and both wolf ears perked up, revealing the white fluff inside.] [Seeing the situation turn awkward, you immediately withdrew your hand.] [Lowering her head, Aina softly asked: Does Brother Luo Xi like Aina?] Luo Xi: ??? [Although its not exactly not okay. Aina nibbled on her finger, But Aina is still too young right now, Brother Luo Xi, you have to wait at least three more years for me. But if thats the case, Sister would be too pitiful, she is always so cold to others, surely no one would want her, and the men on Grey Stone Street are just too ugly, Aina doesnt like them] [Traveler, you immediately wanted to agree but once again you choose to refuse righteously.] [Note: Traveler, how about following your heart and accepting it? The consequence is just a small price to pay, and your future is definitely bright~] Luo Xi looked at the text on the screen, feeling damn numb. Its no use, the Little Wolf Girl is on a higher level; hes almost unable to hold on. In his four years of university, the woman he talked to most was Ai Xue, and yet she was blocked by him, she must be cursing him as a heartless bastard right now. [Squeak] [Weier pushed open the bedroom door and came out.] [The Cat-eared girl looked puzzled as she saw you sitting on the sofa with her sister. Aina looked natural, but her little face still had a hint of redness.] [Ding! Weiers Alertness Value +10!] [Weier held a white scroll in her hand, examining you with narrowed eyes.] [A bit guilty, you proactively asked: Is the scroll in your hand worth 100 gold coins? I cant afford it, lets just forget about it.] [Did Aina tell you? Weier glanced at her sister and seeing her silly smile, she said helplessly: No problem, in any case, it was left by my mother when she was still alive. I cant possibly sell such things, so sooner or later they have to be used up.] Sar?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Luo Xi fell silent. He lightly tapped the screen a couple of times. [Traveler, you expressed that you dont need the purification scrolls treatment to recover, so you told Weier not to waste such a precious thing on you.] [Weier sighed and said while staring at you: Then you tell me how you are going to recover?] [Under Weiers intense gaze, you hesitated for a while before saying: Die and then resurrect?] [Weier was amused by you.] [She felt that you have a talent for telling jokes.] [You stood up ready to leave, thinking its better to make use of the great wills power and remake yourself once rather than waste the skill scroll worth 100 gold coins.] [The Cat-eared girl suddenly said: Aina, grab him!] [Okay, Sister!] [Traveler, your hand was tightly held by the Little Lolita, you couldnt move] [The Cat-eared girl opened the scroll.] [A wave of warm, pure light burst forth from the scroll, enveloping your body.] [Ding! Tier Four Nature Series Skill: Light of Purification is acting on your body.] [Ding! The Intermediate Corruption Curse has been completely dispelled by the Light of Purification.] [You feel a lightness all over, the pain inside swiftly vanishing, and the curse that sought to take your life was so easily eliminated.] [Traveler, yet you cry out in your heart.] [A whole 100 gold coins, as someone with the innate talent of poverty, how can you ever get so much money?] [Ding! Your Happiness Level +53!] [Note: ?] Chapter 31 - 31 31 Who is Slandering Me_1 ?Chapter 31: Chapter 31 Who is Slandering Me?_1 Chapter 31: Chapter 31 Who is Slandering Me?_1 [Weier carefully stowed away the scroll] [You asked in some surprise, Can this still be used?] [It cant anymore, Weier shook her head, This is a one-time use skill scroll. Its activation came from the purification runes my mother left behind, which become ineffective after theyve done their job.] [You should rest for a while now. Even though the curse has been dispelled, the damage inside your body still exists.] [Try to sleep for a bit, the light of purification also aids in healing wounds.] [Traveler, you felt a strong wave of drowsiness overwhelm you] [You fell into a brief slumber] [Estimated awakening time: 15 minutes] Luo Xi checked his phone. It was nine-thirty. He stretched his body, put the hat that was set aside on his head, and climbed out of bed. Standing in front of the washstand, Luo Xi looked at himself in the mirror and sighed. These horns still havent disappeared, huh. It remained a mystery why this so-called reflection could continue to exist in the form of an illusion even without Yuan Su. If Yuan Su appeared in this world, would these horns turn into solid form? Luo Xi decided not to think further, adjusted his hat, then carried out his routine washing, and after dressing in his clothes and shoes, readied himself to go out and buy some breakfast to fill his stomach. Man is iron, food is steel, and it seemed like his appetite had increased quite a bit recently; he needed enough energy to replenish his consumption. sea??h th N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Ding! Luo Xi swiped his access card, pulled open the glass door, and walked out, but had only taken a few steps when he heard a familiar voice from behind. Luo Xi you bastard! Ive finally caught up with you! ? Luo Xi turned around, bewildered. A pretty girl of around one meter sixty stood at the side of the dormitorys entrance. She had a great figure, the type that could bowl you over on the sports field. It was clear from her clothes and the bag she was holding that they were designer brands. ! The very person he had blocked for three months had come knocking! Luo Xi instantly thought about running away. Ai Xue watched Luo Xi with gritted teeth; seeing him trying to escape again, she quickly raised her phone and shouted, Senior, wait a minute! I need to talk to you about something else this time. The person in these photos is you, right? Photos? Luo Xi turned back and asked, What photos? Ai Xue looked puzzled, Senior, havent you seen our schools forum or the campus wall? Luo Xi shook his head, I havent been active there for a long time. He had been exhausted every single day for quite some time, with no energy left for such things. Ai Xue didnt hesitate to say, Oh, then first unblock me on WeChat, Ill send you the link, and you can check it out yourself. Luo Xi: Why did he suspect that she was doing all this just to get herself unblocked? Two minutes later. Luo Xi frowned as he looked at a post on a public account. The post featured photos of him from the day before, surrounded by a dozen cats and a goo-goo bird, all teamed with a fairy-like filter and his delicate and handsome face, making him look like a celestial being banished from heaven. Yep, very handsome. Even Luo Xi himself felt that he looked incredibly handsome in the photo. Luo Xi looked up and asked, So, what do you want with me? Ai Xue tentatively said, You must be familiar with raising cats, right? In a few days, Im planning to partner with some classmates to open a cat caf outside of school. Almost everything else is prepared, so when the time comes, could we hire you to work there? Just feed the cats and do simple tasks like that, nothing too demanding. Lets start with six thousand, seven thousand a month? We can raise it later. Luo Xi: He wanted to say that he would never work a part-time job, but the offer was just too high. When he thought about it carefully, he did indeed need to consider his future. He couldnt exactly graduate from university and become a wandering sweat, earning a living by opening treasure chests at midnight, could he? That would be too miserable. Aina kept a close eye on Luo Xis expression, ready to offer a higher salary if he showed any intention of refusing. Luo Xi nodded and said, Okay, just contact me when the time comes, Ill be there. Aina pursed her lips and smiled, Its a deal then. Oh, and you have to remove my number from the blacklist, or how am I supposed to contact you? Alright. Where are you headed now? To buy breakfast. Oh, then off you go. Luckin Coffee. When Aina arrived, a girl sitting at a table raised her hand and waved, Xiao Xue, over here, over here! Aina walked over and smiled, Youre here early. Im in a rush. The girl smiled brightly and asked, Xiao Xue, did you find the person in the picture? Yeah. Did you persuade him? Hes quite popular in our school now. If we can get him to join us and do a promotion or something, when our familys cat cafe opens, well definitely attract a huge crowd! Ive already taken care of it. Awesome, as expected of you. The girl looked surprised and asked, How did you find him? Aina smiled, Ive known him for a while. Ah? Since when? The girl was taken aback and mused, No wonder you volunteered to go look for someone. Xiao Xue, dont tell me you two have already I wish. Aina shook her head, He said he doesnt like girls of my type. Thats impossible, if he doesnt like someone like you, then what does he like? The girl joked, Hes not into guys, is he? Aina shrugged, Who knows? I cant figure it out either. Theres another possibility, said the girl with a mysterious look on her face. Could it be that he likes petite girls? Aina was shocked, You mean, hes a lolicon? Achoo! Mr. Luo, who was still eating in the cafeteria, suddenly sneezed without reason. Damn it, is someone bad-mouthing me? He tapped on his phone screen. Fifteen minutes had already passed. [Traveler, your consciousness has gradually regained clarity.] [You opened your eyes and sat up from the sofa. Now all the injuries in your body have disappeared, and you have recovered to your best condition.] [The mutation from the Dragon Species factor really does grant exceptional healing abilities, Weier exclaimed in admiration.] [Brother Luo Xi, are you alright now?] [Aina leaned on the side of the sofa, batting her large eyes at you, her Big Tail wagging nonstop, her face filled with joy as she asked, So, Brother Luo Xi, are you sure you wont reconsider the proposal I made earlier?] [What proposal?] [Weier looked suspiciously between her sister and you, her eyes shifting back and forth, while the tip of her light cat tail curled up nervously behind her.] [Aina, what were you two discussing behind my back?] [Aina looked somewhat nervously at you, We didnt talk about much, just some business about scroll prices, right, Brother Luo Xi?] [You nodded.] [After all, you couldnt possibly tell the cat-eared girl that your dear sister had just tried to sell you off.] [Wait a second, something didnt seem quite right. Why did it feel like they had actually bought you instead?] [Note: Traveler, you finally spotted the blind spot, but havent you always been happy?] Chapter 32 - 32 32 Sister Wei’er arent you also very young_1 ?Chapter 32: Chapter 32 Sister Weier, arent you also very young?!_1 Chapter 32: Chapter 32 Sister Weier, arent you also very young?!_1 [Why dont I believe that Weier muttered under her breath, and then she suddenly glared fiercely at you, Hey, you didnt do anything weird to Aina just now, did you? Spit it out! [Ding! Weiers Alertness Value +5] [Brother Luo Xi didnt do anything weird at all.] [Little Lolita grabbed her own tail and giggled, It was just an accident, I merely touched Ainas tail.] Luo Xi was stunned, damn, this wolf-eared Little Lolita must be a schemer, stirring up trouble at a time like this, was she trying to divert attention and decisively throw me under the bus? [Hm? You touched Ainas tail? Just now?] [Weier looked at you with a smile on her face] [Traveler, you quickly said, Dont listen to your sisters nonsense, she just tried to sell you out, and I flatly refused! You have to believe me!] [Sell me out? Huh? What on earth are you talking about?] [The poor cat-eared girl was already looking completely clueless by the two of you] [Its like this. Ainas tea gold eyes shifted as she clung to her sisters arm, Weier Sister, brother said he cant pay that much money, so he plans to stay at our house and work off the debt, what do you think, Sister?] [The cat-eared girl frowned, Didnt I say that he doesnt need to pay the money back? And our house is only so big, why keep someone to do chores? Not to mention an extra mouth to feed, Aina, are you sure you havent kept something from Sister? Come clean to your sister!] [Under her sisters imposing gaze, the little girl kept dodging eye contact, and ultimately had no choice but to give in] [Traveler, you quietly leaned toward the door, ready to grab the bucket and bolt at any moment] [Aina whispered, Aina read in a book that once a girl is sixteen, she can start thinking about getting married and having children.] [Weier: ?] [Aina cautiously glanced at her sister and continued, Aina doesnt like the men from Grey Stone Street, not only are they ugly, but they also have bad tempers. Sister, dont you think Brother Luo Xi is handsome? Of course, the most important thing is that Aina doesnt dislike him.] [Weier: ???] [The cat-eared girls mind was full of question marks at this point] [When did her silly little sister learn all this nonsense? It seems that in the future, she cant let her read those absurd books] [Weier sighed and stroked her sisters head, Sister hasnt thought so much about the future, and you dont need to think so much either, Aina.] [Do you not like Brother Luo Xi, Sister?] [Of course, who would start liking someone after only a few days of acquaintance? Besides, this guy is too suspicious, from start to finish, he reeks of being a suspicious person.] [Traveler, you turned your head away, feeling a bit guilty] [Ding! Your Happiness Level -10] [No, why should you feel guilty? You werent harboring any bad intentions to begin with] [Little Lolita tilted her head, If Sister doesnt want Brother Luo Xi, can Aina have him?] Sarch* The Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Absolutely not!] [Weier turned back toward you, her expression unfriendly, she felt it was possible that you had brainwashed her sister with your sweet talk. Otherwise, her naive and adorable little sister wouldnt have turned out so strangely] [Traveler, you stood there, utterly innocent, not moving an inch] [After a long while, the cat-eared girls unfriendly gaze gradually softened, and she asked you, Do you have somewhere to go next? The snow outside is heavy right now. Even if you want to leave Grey Stone Street, its better to wait until the snow stops. Plus, you know what might happen the day after tomorrow.] [Traveler, you paused for a moment before shaking your head.] [Whether they wanted you to leave or to provide you temporary shelter, you were open to either.] [Weier hesitated for a while before saying, You can stay at our place for the time being, but you are not allowed to just go into our rooms. And if I find out youve done something bad to Aina, youre dead!] [Traveler, you asked with confusion, Is that really okay?] [What do you mean okay? Cat Cat frowned.] [Why let me stay? You must still suspect me, right? you asked.] [There is some suspicion, your background is too suspicious, and I cant help but doubt your intentions. However] [Weier looked at Ainas smile, which was very tender, I trust my own feelings, and I trust Ainas judgment. This kid has always had a better eye for people than me.] [The cat-eared girl stroked her little sisters head, Just like how Aina has always been unfriendly to Uncle Noss. I used to find it odd and even scolded her several times. Now that I think about it, Aina, did you know about his identity all along?] [If I dont like someone, I just dont like them. Theres no other reason.] [Little Lolita wrinkled her delicate nose and said, The sweet potatoes that man brought over always had a bad smell on them, not to mention himself. Anyway, Aina just doesnt like him.] [Alright already. Weier patted her little sisters head and said, Regardless, he has been sending us food for three years.] [Thats not the point! Little Lolita argued, Aina can eat much less.] [The cat-eared girl retorted, Then youll end up skinnier than you are now! Just look at yourself now, youre even shorter than the old ladys granddaughter next door, even though youre a year older than her. You never eat properly.] [Well. Aina pouted and said, Sister, youre three years older than Aina, but why are you only a little bit taller than me? And your figure isnt good either. You didnt inherit Moms good genes] [The cat-eared girls face stiffened, and with a stern face, she said, Sister is like this because she didnt eat well! Got it?] [Little Lolita faced her sisters authority directly, Lies! The girl from Uncle Next Doors house, Seri, is the same age as you, Weier, and we all eat about the same. Why is her figure so much better than yours!] [Your Shock Value +13] [Traveler, youre munching on melon seeds] [Your Happiness Level +15] [The cat-eared girls pretty face turned pale, and she subconsciously cradled her chest, a sad expression on her face, and began to speak nonsense: Then, what can I do? The Mutant Factor that infected me seems to come from some small Cat Clan Origin Beast, and because of that damn factor trait, even my growth stopped too early. If I could just have three more years, I definitely could have like Mom] [Traveler, your Happiness Level +13] [This melon is delicious~] [Whack!] [Traveler, while you were on the side enjoying the drama, you were startled by a cushion that Weier suddenly threw at your head from the sofa. She finally realized that it wasnt just her and Aina at home anymore, there was an additional, suspicious outsider!] [The cat-eared girl looked at you with an annoyed blush, What are you looking at? Since youre staying with us for a while, go clean up that pile of junk in the next room, and make sure its completely tidy!] Luo Xi: ] [Note: Traveler, this teaches us to be cautious when enjoying drama~] Chapter 33 - 33 33 Ainas Task_1 ?Chapter 33: Chapter 33 Ainas Task_1 Chapter 33: Chapter 33 Ainas Task_1 [Traveler, as you walked into the room with a feeling of reluctance under Weiers murderous gaze and Ainas cute smile,] [you noticed that the bed you had collapsed yesterday had not been cleaned up; a pile of wooden planks and dust were mixed together, making it quite messy.] [It makes sense, after all, with so much happening yesterday, how could those two girls have the time to clean up the rubbish in the room?] [You are cleaning the room] [Would you like to fast forward to the next event checkpoint?] [No] While his game character was cleaning the room, Luo Xi also returned to the dormitory from the cafeteria, he moved a small stool to sit on the balcony, and then hit the fast-forward button. X30. [Traveler, after one hour, you finally cleaned the room spotlessly.] [While moving the table, you discovered a piece of drawing paper lodged in a corner of the room, with rough lines sketched out depicting two abstract figures.] [Ding! You have obtained a yellowed piece of drawing paper, which has been added to your Dreamland bag.] [Yellowed Drawing Paper] [Quality: White (Common)] [Category: Common Item] [Attribute: Not very nice simple line drawing, obviously done by a very young child.] [Description: Show this drawing paper to someone and ridicule her harshly, and perhaps you will get an unexpected result (you can try it.)] [Ding! It has been detected that this item can be retrieved to the current location of the Travelers real-world self.] [Would you like to retrieve the item?] [Yes] A white light flashed, and a somewhat dirty, yellowed piece of drawing paper appeared in Luo Xis hand. Luo Xi took out a piece of tissue from his pocket, wiped off some of the dust, and began to examine it against the backlight. There were two abstract line figures on the drawing. One big, two small. To simply describe the drawing, an adult is holding a girls hand, a round sun in the sky, with a snowman piled next to it. Basically, each object was roughly sketched out in a few strokes. A true soul artist at work. There was a line of small characters at the bottom of the drawing. Luo Xi carefully discerned them. Then he realized he couldnt understand this writing at all. Better let his in-game self take a look. After all, reality is not like inside the game, where automatic language and script translation functionalities are built-in; even the simplest sentences would likely be incomprehensible to him. [Would you like to place the item?] [Yes] The drawing paper disappeared from his hand, and Luo Xi took out another object from the bag. [Map (Weier Special Edition)] An object resembling a roll of A3 paper-length yellow parchment landed in his hand. Luo Xi unraveled the red string binding the scroll and slowly unfolded the map. The map was easier to understand. This was a regional map centered on Winter City, with four towns and twenty-one villages around it. Many tiny characters marked various locations on the map. Well, still couldnt understand it. Luo Xi stuffed the map back into the bag. The text on the screen slowly presented new words. [Traveler, you read the line of small characters on the painting.] [I, Weier, will definitely become the greatest painter in the world one day!] [The handwriting was somewhat childish, but it was very similar to the writing you saw in the basement, on that cardboard.] Is this a drawing made by the cat-eared girl when she was young? So Weier had such ambitions when she was little? Then, how has her drawing skill changed now? Your curiosity level +13 Note: Traveler, curiosity might kill the cat, you know. Traveler, you walked out of the room and saw Aina sitting on the sofa, flipping through a book. Weier was nowhere to be seen, but the smell of food wafting from the kitchen suggested she might be cooking. You didnt hold much expectation for the cuisine in this world, but you were quite interested in the book Aina was holding. You gently leaned over the back of the sofa, peering at the book in the little Lolitas hands. Aina didnt react, but she must have sensed you approaching, as her adorable wolf ears had perked up. Your happiness level +13 Note: Traveler, are you sure its just the book youre interested in? Luo Xi: Aina asked in a soft whisper, Brother Luo Xi, do you like reading books too? You answered instantly, Of course I do. As a traveler from another world, your favorite pastime was reading interesting online novels, so how could you not like reading books? Then, Brother Luo Xi, would you like to read together? Aina patted the spot next to her, inviting you to sit down. Traveler, you didnt hesitate at all and sat down next to her, your gaze involuntarily drifting to certain parts of the young girl. Sar?h the ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Her fluffy big tail, those cute wolf ears you wanted to pet them~ Note: Traveler, youre getting carried away again, please control yourself. You forced yourself to shift focus and asked, What book is this? Aina turned back to the first page, which depicted a saint holding a staff, seemingly in the midst of summoning something based on the illustration. Aina pointed to the character and explained, The title of this book is The Legend of the Brave. It tells the story of the saint of the holy temple summoning a brave hero from another world through an ancient covenant ceremony to defeat The Great Demon King Dirak, and then traveling with companions around the world to collect treasures and defeat the demon king. Traveler, you felt oddly familiar with this story. Aina placed the book on your leg, her tea gold eyes shining brightly as she looked at you, Brother Luo Xi, you said before that you are a traveler from another place who has lost his memories, right? You were taken aback for a second, then nodded. After all, that was the story you had made up for yourself, and for now, you had to stick with it. Aina looked at you with a hopeful expression, If you are going to leave someday, Brother Luo Xi, could you take Aina with you? Aina can accompany you to search for your lost memories. Ding! Aina has issued you a quest: when leaving, take her with you on your journey. Quest reward: Ainas favorability towards you +50 Note: Traveler, your thoughts of abducting an innocent little Lolita might just come true! Luo Xi: ?! Aina, what nonsense are you talking about! Weiers scolding voice came from the kitchen. So the Cat Lady had been listening to the commotion outside all along; good thing the Traveler hadnt done anything too bold. Weier, with an apron on, came out from the kitchen. The cat-eared girl looked at her sister with furrowed brows: Youre thinking of running away from home at such a young age? Its not running away from home! the little Lolita argued with her head lowered: Aina wants to see the vast world described in those travel books with her own eyes; Aina also wants to be a traveler who journeys everywhere! The two sisters glared at each other. Do you know how dangerous the wilderness is? I know, Aina has read many adventure books! You still want to travel even though you know the risks? And those are just novels! Really cant I? No! Youre too young! What about when Aina turns 16? Thats still too early! And youre letting a man of unknown origins take you with him; Aina, dont you have any sense of danger? Chapter 34 - 34 34 Traveler the Kitchen God you really are ?Chapter 34: Chapter 34 Traveler the Kitchen God, you really are amazing _1 Chapter 34: Chapter 34 Traveler the Kitchen God, you really are amazing _1 Aina puffed up her little face and said, Then why did you agree to let this man with an unknown background live in our house!'' Ding! Traveler, your Happiness Level -10. Note: Its a pity that Weier doesnt allow you to take her sister traveling, otherwise your Beast Eared Girl abduction plan would be half complete, and the days of being both sought-after and avoided would be closer. Goddamn lolita abduction plan, when did I ever have such a plan? Traveler, you sigh inwardly that even between close relatives who rely on each other for life, conflicts always arise. The two sisters glare at each other, neither willing to back down, and you realize that this seemingly scheming little Aina also has a stubborn side. Note: Traveler, now is the time for you to come out and increase the Favorability of the two Beast Eared Girls. If not now, then when? So Traveler, what should you do? You recall the painting you found, do you take it out? Luo Xi chose yes. So, the painting was a quest item. Traveler, you take out the yellowed painting and deliberately shake it to attract the attention of the two girls. The Cat-eared girl looks at the painting in your hands. A moment later, those light red eyes blink, as if recalling some distant memory, and her delicate face gradually becomes tinged with a hint of red. You, you, you where did you find this? Quick, give it to me! You stuff the painting into your chest, Not giving it! The anxious and stuttering Weier is nothing like her usual aloof self, and you feel charmed by the gap moe from this Cat-eared girl. Your Happiness Level +20. Note: This might just be the happiness of being a cat owner. Brother Luo Xi, let me see. Aina leans towards you, and the sweet scent from the Little Lolita with wolf ears makes your head spin. Your Happiness Level +12. Note: You really are an impressive chef, Traveler. Luo Xi: Aina takes the painting from you, glances at it, and asks with curiosity, Is this a painting from Weiers childhood? Its so cute. Even Aina can only describe her sisters painting as cute. The Cat-eared girls face turns thoroughly red, glaring at you unhappily. If looks could kill, youd be dead. The observant Little Lolita notices the line of text at the bottom of the painting, Weier, did you want to become the worlds greatest painter when you were little? Is that true? But why havent I ever seen you hold a paintbrush since Aina arrived? Weier, did you give up on your childhood dream? Ainas innocent three questions strike the Cat-eared girl hard, her expression turning somber as though shed been petrified. Traveler, you sigh again, realizing this Little Lolita with wolf ears is truly cunning, a typical example of a devious little sister. You take back the painting from Aina and give it another look, realizing only now that you hadnt noticed before, but indeed, the painting style is pretty cute. Sister, I have an idea, Aina says with a twirl of her eyes and seizes the moment. Dreams only mean something if you stick with them, right? Sister, you can take up your dream again and become the worlds greatest painter together with Aina. Traveler, you silently applaud Little Ainas suggestion in your heart. After a long pause, the Cat-eared girl shakes her head and says, Ive already given up painting a long time ago. Traveler, you ask, Why? Although you havent spent much time with the Cat-eared girl, you feel that Weier doesnt seem like someone who would give up easily. Weier looks at you and lets out a soft sigh, A year before Aina came to my house, a wandering painter with Mutation Syndrome came to Grey Stone Street. His painting skills were extremely superb; anyone or anything he painted seemed as if they could come to life on the canvas. Because his talent was so astounding, he was even specially invited into Winter City to exhibit his paintings to the knights and nobles. Back then, I thought, as soon as he left the City, I would beg him to teach me his skills. But after he went into Winter City, he never came out again. Rumor has it, while he was painting, he accidentally splashed some paint on the child of some high-ranking person who was running around, and for that, his hands were chopped off. For a painter to lose his hands is to lose life itself. So he killed himself. The Cat-eared girls saddened expression as she speaks, After that, I realized that painting cant save people like us, no matter how good our skills are, we wont get respect from the people inside the City. If thats the case, whats the point of my learning to paint? So I gave up. Wuu, wuuu S~ea??h the ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Traveler, you hear sobbing from the side. Aina, rubbing her eyes, throws herself into Weiers arms and sobs, Sorry, Weier, I didnt mean to bring up your painful memories. Weier gently strokes her sisters hair, Its okay, but listen to me, Aina, you absolutely cant just follow someone before youre of age, understand? With that, Weier also glares fiercely at you, Traveler. In her mind, youve been categorized as a suspicious pervert who might kidnap her sister, and now youve embarrassed her by showing her childhood painting. Poor Traveler, the Cat-eared girl has taken note of you in her little book~ Luo Xi: Traveler, you silently prepare to go back to that room and clean up a bit more. Weier calls out to you and asks, So how did you find my painting? In the crevice between that table and the wall, you answer. Weier muses, So it fell into that awkward corner. No wonder I couldnt find it. By the way, have you finished cleaning the room? Yes. Right, give me back the painting. Not giving it. You slip the painting paper into your Dreamland bag. The Cat-eared girl lunges at you, catching you off guard, and you fall back onto the sofa. She pins you down with her legs and reaches for where you put the painting. You are being pawed by salty cat hands Ding! Your Happiness Level +32. Ding! Your Lust Value +11. Note: Youre not right. Where did you hide my painting? Cat Cat is visibly upset.

They perked up when she was happy, and were lifeless when she was not.] [The dejected look of the cat-eared girl made you feel quite reluctant to upset her further.] [So you said, Let me pet your ears and tail, and Ill return the painting to you.] [Note: Garbage Traveler, you really are a suspicious pervert! But isnt just petting the ears and tail not enough? Perhaps you should add the Little Wolf Girls tail and ears to the mix for a good pet~] Sarch* The N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

[No, whats with you, acting so strange?] [Hearing your request, Weier looked at you with a surprised and doubtful expression.] [In this world, the disdain for Variants was deep-rooted, solidified through long-standing ideology and bloodline biases.] [Whether they were pure-blooded humans or Mutant Patients themselves, they all deeply detested the Mutation traits in their own bodies, let alone in others. The Variants lacked any Favorability towards their own Mutated features, let alone for someone elses.] [Seeing someone like you, a Traveler who is so fond of Mutation traits, was a first-time experience for the cat-eared girl.] [Off to one side, Aina subconsciously touched her Big Tail, blinking her pair of tea gold eyes full of curiosity, Brother Luo Xi, would you like to pet my tail? Sisters tail isnt as comfortable to touch as Ainas, and at night, she loves to sleep cuddling my tail.] [Traveler, you immediately replied, Alright!] [Alright, my foot!] [With a little effort in her knees, Weier leapt from your body and landed on the floor.] [She tossed her hair back and pretended not to care, Never mind, it was drawn by me when I was seven. How great do you think my drawing skills could have been at such a young age?] [Oh, if you dont want it anymore, let me keep it as a memento.] [The cat-eared girl instantly crumbled, No, why would you keep that thing?] [Just as a keepsake.] [] [Weier was speechless, giving you a fierce glare, before she walked into the Kitchen and came back with a big basin of steamed sweet potatoes.] [Dinner time, two sweet potatoes each. This is yours, and remember, no matter when you leave, you better pay your share of the food cost, one copper coin per day. If you dont pay, dont even think about leaving.] Luo Xi was stunned. Theres actually such a good deal? [Traveler, you received the two smallest sweet potatoes. You sighed silently, realizing that provoking a woman was a bad idea, as retribution came so swiftly.] [You finished the sweet potatoes in two bites and were left wanting more. Seeing this, Aina blinked on the side, and while her sister was busy moving the basin aside, she sneaked one of her sweet potatoes into your bowl.] [Brother Luo Xi, this ones for you. One is enough for Aina.] [Traveler, your Touching Value increased by +33.] [Shes not a scheming Lolita; shes a cute little angel!] [However, naturally, you wouldnt take food from a little girl. You returned the sweet potato to Ainas bowl. Aina frowned unhappily, slowly nibbling on the sweet potato and feeding it into her mouth.] [The sweet potatoes didnt taste very good. As the staple food of this worlds lower-class citizens, their only advantage might be their high yield and their ability to stave off hunger.] [Brother Luo Xi, do you still remember what meat tastes like? Little Lolita suddenly asked.] [You nodded in response.] [I almost forgot what its like. Aina said wistfully, The last time I ate meat was half a year ago when I went to our neighbors grandpas house for a meal. Sister fought hard to get me a piece of meat from an unknown animal. I dont know when Ill get to enjoy another neighbors feast again.] Luo Xi: Shes indeed a scheming little Lolita. Give my Touching Value back! [Just like what Aina said, we usually just eat sweet potatoes.] [Weier came out from the kitchen, looking at you seriously, If youre getting close to us with some other purpose, better drop the act; we really dont have anything particularly valuable at home.] [Traveler, you thought for a moment and then said earnestly, Let me pet the ears] [No way!] [Note: As expected of you, you beast-eared Lolita-obsessed and dubious Traveler!] Dont add so many weird descriptors! [Hehe~ Aina, who loved to stir up trouble, leaned in, giggling, Actually, if Brother Luo Xi likes it, you can pet Ainas ears. Aina doesnt mind.] [You definitely cant, Aina!] [Weier looked at you, seemingly a little helpless. She couldnt tell whether you were telling the truth or lying.] [Her kind heart and high Favorability towards you made her somewhat doubtful, but she still didnt want to throw you out into the blizzard-filled streets.] [Theres one more thing. You heard what Uncle Noss said; the Locust Disaster Lakasts aftermath might pass by Winter City the day after tomorrow.] [Weier furrowed her brows at you, So I wanted to ask what you think. Aina and I plan to enter Winter City together. Do you also want to go into the city?] [Can I get in there by official means, too?] [Enter officially? The cat-eared girl looked at you as if you were a fool, I can ask Uncle Noss for you, if you want.] [You shook your head quickly, No need.] [The Rat King was the most likely suspect to have cursed you with the Corruption Curse, and he probably didnt yet know that the curse on you had been healed by Weiers purification scroll. There was no need to flaunt yourself in front of him.] [Yet, you were somewhat worried about the two girls] [What are you thinking about? Seeing your expression, Weier chuckled, Did I say I was going to use Uncle Nosss channel to get into Winter City?] [If its just Winter City, I can easily sneak you in; we just wouldnt have official passes. Consider it smuggling. If the guards catch us, the lightest punishment would be a broken leg.] Chapter 36 - 36 36 How to Kidnap Two Beast Eared Girls_1 ?Chapter 36: Chapter 36: How to Kidnap Two Beast Eared Girls_1 Chapter 36: Chapter 36: How to Kidnap Two Beast Eared Girls_1 Aina wiped the sweet potato paste from the corner of her mouth and lifted her head in excitement, Are we going to enter Winter City? Aina has heard that there are a lot of delicious things in Winter City! Eat, eat, eat, thats all you think about all day. You can barely eat that much when its actually time for a meal. Weier scolded her silly little sister, then looked at you and asked, So where are you planning to go? Are you going to hide out with us in Winter City, or just stay here on Grey Stone Street? You asked curiously, Can you actually get me into Winter City? Of course, I can, the cat-eared girl nodded. Didnt I pull you down from the ground before and push you out from behind the rooms partition wall? Forget it, Ill just show you. Weier suddenly raised her hand, turning it into a blade shape, and chopped fiercely down on the tabletop. Traveler, you were startled by the girls action, almost thinking the cat-eared girl couldnt hold back and wanted to lash out at you. However, after a moment, no abnormal sound occurred. Traveler, to your amazement, you saw that Weiers hand was stuck in the table, and where her hand touched, the surface was rippling like water. The ripples oscillated continuously as she moved her hand, but when her hand was a certain distance away, the table would return to its normal state. This is one of my mutation abilities, allowing me to ripple any non-living object I touch, and I can apply it to other objects I touch as well. You marveled to yourself, quantum mechanics really is astonishing! Note: Traveler, snap out of it, this isnt quantum mechanics at all! Weier continued, So, if you want to come with us into Winter City, I can take you with me the day after tomorrow. Ive tried before, the walls of Winter City are about fifteen meters thick. If I sprint with all my power, its just within the limit of my ability. Ding! Weier has sent you an optional task: Do you want to follow them into Winter City? Traveler, what is your decision? [ Agree] [ Refuse] Luo Xi thought for a moment. He was quite interested in the so-called Locust Disaster Lakast. But since there was a chance to see inside Winter City, it was also an opportunity to learn about this world, and it was not certain that he wouldnt encounter the Locust Disaster there. When Luo Xi clicked option [1], new text appeared. Seeing the hesitation on your face, Weier furrowed her snowy brows, Youre not thinking about leaving Grey Stone Street at this time, right? Im not deceiving you, in this kind of blizzard that we dont know how long will last, the best choice is to hide in an area protected by the Divine Tree, and if the Locust Disaster really comes, the safest place is within the protective range of the Winter Divine Tree. Traveler, you quickly indicated that you would enter Winter City with them, you were just lost in thought earlier. The cat-eared girl nodded in satisfaction, Then its settled. Its not safe to sneak past the guards during the day; after midnight tomorrow, Ill take you and Aina into the city. Traveler, you suddenly realized, beneath the composed words of the cat-eared girl, there seemed to be a faint trembling, and her graceful cat tail had inadvertently wound itself around her wrist. Come to think of it, why did she insist on bringing you along? You asked aloud, Can you tell me what the Locust Disaster is like? Ah? The cat-eared girl paused before shaking her head slowly, I have never seen the Locust Disaster Lakast. Its said to appear randomly only in warm regions, and its unclear whats going on this time. But all Origin Disasters are similar, instead of being Origin Beasts, they are more like incarnations of a will to destroy. Take the Wind Disaster Hurricane, for instance; it has the most recorded appearances of any Origin Disaster. It doesnt have a set physical form. When the Wind Disaster passes, the winds it raises can sweep away everything outside the protective range of the Divine Trees, destroying all the buildings in its path. Traveler, you became a bit puzzled; isnt that just what you know as a typhoon? Aina looked up at you and said, Aina remembers reading in a book that described the Wind Disaster Hurricane like thiswhen the winds of destruction sweep across the land, the living shall become corpses, and the souls of the deceased shall return to the earth, and it is futile to resist with mortal strength. Of course, thats a description from a novel, weve never actually seen an Origin Disaster with our own eyes. Aina said dreamily, In those novels, theres always a hero who comes at the last moment to save the world and the people; I wonder if there could really be a hero like that in this world? No, Weier unhesitatingly shattered her sisters fantasy, Expecting some so-called hero to save you is less practical than just running faster with your own legs, hoping that the disaster wont catch up to you. Besides, not many people treat us Mutant Patients as humans. Even if there were heroes, we wouldnt be the ones they came to save. Hmph, youre too realistic, sister. The little Lolita blinked her large eyes at you, changing the subject, So Brother Luo Xi, are you planning to live with us for a long time? Sear?h the Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Temporarily, not permanently, you corrected Ainas wording. Aina said nonchalantly, Anyway, its almost the same. Traveler, you suddenly felt that it might be quite nice to keep living this way, right? This could be a life of cohabitating with two beast-eared girls! Of course, staying in one place for too long definitely isnt something an Otherworld Traveler should do. You needed to figure out a way to take both of these beast-eared girls with you. Note: Traveler, youve finally revealed your wicked heart! Ding! Warm reminder! You have triggered a free task: No Longer a Lonely Journey. Task Brief: Find at least two people from the Dream World to be your companions (they must truly acknowledge you, which can be on various levels). Reward: Cradle and Nest (Gold/Legendary/Unique). Description: When people from the Dream World fall asleep in the cradle, theres a chance they will dream about your world and create corresponding eggs in the nest (Is it me who dreamt of you, or you who dreamt of me?). Luo Xi stared at the suddenly refreshed text. This task Roar! A startled outcry and peculiar roar sounded from outside. Weiers expression changed, she rushed to open the window, letting in the snowflakes along with peoples shouts. Someone has lost control! Chapter 37 - 37 37 The Rage of an Out-of-Control Mutation ?Chapter 37: Chapter 37: The Rage of an Out-of-Control Mutation Syndrome Patient and an Honest Person_1 Chapter 37: Chapter 37: The Rage of an Out-of-Control Mutation Syndrome Patient and an Honest Person_1 [Traveler, upon seeing this, you quickly rose to your feet and ran towards the window.] [You saw in the midst of the howling wind and snow, a hundred meters away, a nearly three-meter-tall black unidentified creature. It dragged a long, dark tail, wildly destroying houses along the street.] [Roar!] [The monsters roar seemed to pause the blizzard for a moment, and many residents braved the heavy snow to run out of their homes, heading in the opposite direction.] [Who is he? Weier squinted her eyes, muttering to herself, Bear-like build and strength, could he be a Mutant Patient with bear gene factor? Is it Uncle Lek? No, bear factors wouldnt produce such a tail and black scales. That is] [Aina stuck her head out and took a glance, whispering, Weier sister, I remember the smell of that man. He lives in the deep alley workshop area. A long time ago, my mom took me to the workshop to buy things, and I saw him once.] [I know its someone from the deep alley workshop area, but who? Anyway, theres no saving him. Knowing that the factors within are about to spiral out of control and yet still staying on Grey Stone Street, people like that have some issues in their minds.] [Weiers delicate face took on an indifferent expression: That guy is coming this way. Aina, stay home and dont move. Sister will see if she can lure him away.] [Aina nodded, Mmhmm, Ill stay home and wont go anywhere!] [Traveler, you asked, Do you need my help?] [Weier shook her head, No need. I dont intend to fight him. More people might just cause more trouble. Just need to lure him out of Grey Stone Street. The Glory of the Winter Divine Tree wont allow him to enter again.] [Also, take good care of Aina for me.] [The cat-eared girl gave you a deep look, then leapt into the snowy wind, her figure almost obscured in the blizzard. At a time when everyone else was fleeing, her seemingly frail body moved against the crowd.] [Traveler, you saw Weier approach the creature. After a while, something happened, and with a giant roar from the monster, it began to tear at its own body in a frenzy, spattering blood, and then it chased after the small figure.] Ah! Roar The creature, its body covered with black scales and a long tail dragging behind, let out a piercing roar, constantly destroying all the buildings it came across on the street. Anything visible to the naked eye, it would claw at, and several people had already been eviscerated, their blood staining the snow-white earth red. How tragic. In the howling snowstorm, the girls voice suddenly rose. You are Rhea, right? I was at the deep alley workshop last week to purchase tools, and you were the one who served me. Mutant Patients on the verge of losing control must inform others and leave Grey Stone Street of their own accord. Why didnt you abide by this rule? The monster stopped its rampage, turning its head sharply to the side. Its dark green pupils were full of ferocity and irritability, devoid of any semblance of human emotion. Roar! The only response to Weier was a pungent, sharp screech. Rhea, listen to me! Weier said with her nose wrinkled, I know you cant understand me right now, but if you retain even a bit of humanity and dignity, then come chase me! The girl dashed down the vertical alley of Grey Stone Street. Though called a street, Grey Stone Street was more than just a long stretch; it was a community built alongside the walls of Winter City. Besides the five main streets that crossed from one side to the other, each vertical alley was at least 300 meters long, and the limit of the Winter Divine Trees blessing was at the end of these alleys. Since Mutant Patients completely out of control were no longer considered human by the Winter Divine Tree, as soon as they left the trees protective area, they would be repelled by the Trees Glory just like the Origin Beasts, forbidden from entering. The creature furiously tore at the flesh on its chest, feeling provoked by an insect. It let out a raging roar from its mouth. And then, it stepped forward in pursuit. In order to avoid damaging the buildings along the way as much as possible, Weier chose the most spacious vertical alley nearby. But after chasing her for two hundred meters, as the monster was about to leave the range of Grey Stone Street, it suddenly pausedas if it had sniffed somethingand crazily ran back the way it came. Whats happening? Weier was stunned. Based on her past experiences, if the creature retained any humanity, it should have charged after her after hearing her words. At first, that was correct; it indeed followed her. But why did it turn back halfway? You get back here! Weier also ran back. Her speed surged, and with one kick to the monsters back, she performed a nimble spin in midair before landing. The strong force caused the monster to stagger and fall into the snow-covered ground. The monster rose from the snow, making a noise, Dont block my way! Let me pass, I want to slaughter that woman Liselle! Youve actually regained consciousness? Weier frowned and said, What do you really want to do? Two lines of murky tears flowed down the face covered in black scales, quickly turning into icicles. With a hoarse cry, it shouted, Im going to slaughter that stinking woman Liselle. She even dared to cuckold me while I was at work. Were both white-skinned, how could we have a child thats black all over? She also told me it was because of the factor traits Im infected with, what a joke! Then why havent I turned black? sea??h th n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. I also want to kill her adulterous lovers; Im going to kill kill all of you! When the last sentence came out, the humanity in the monsters dark green pupils vanished entirely, leaving it transformed into a beast that knew only slaughter and destruction. Ah Weier sighed softly. She knew Rhea; an employee of the back alley workshop, very diligent at work, and an honest person. The more honest a person is, the more unpredictable their actions once enraged. He probably wanted to use his uncontrollable strength to exact revenge on those who had betrayed him, right? Unfortunately, there is virtually no one who can maintain their self-will after factor runaway. The monster Rhea had become raised its claws and swung at Weier. The girl was just about to dodge when suddenly, with a soft sound, a middle-aged man wearing a white hat stood in front of her. Holding a steel sword, he cut through the wind and effortlessly chopped off the monsters claw. Roar! The monster clutched its severed claw and howled in pain. Under the deafening roar, the middle-aged man took off his hat and looked gently at the girl behind him, Little Weier, leave this place to Uncle; you go back first. Uncle Noss Dont forget, Ill come to pick you up from your house downstairs the morning after tomorrow. Suddenly, the Rat King said, By the way, after I went back yesterday, I sorted out the Snake and Rat Meetings storeroom and found something your mother Liya left behind. Weiers light red eyes narrowed, What is it? A box sealed with a skill. The Rat King spoke with a look of regret, Its a pity that the situation was so abrupt back then, and I had forgotten what Liya had stored in the storeroom, otherwise I would have handed it over to you long ago. How about I bring it to you when we meet the morning after tomorrow? Consider it an early birthday gift from Uncle.

They are afraid that someone will suddenly lose control and go mad, causing chaos and harming people in the city.] [The little Lolita says with self-mockery, They despise us in the first place, to them theres no difference whether we live or die, honestly, if they didnt need many Variants as cheap labor for mining and working, this street would have been gone long ago.] [Aina once saw the knights of Winter City passing through Grey Stone Street; they dont treat us as human at all, even if there are children in the way, the leading knight wouldnt hesitate to kick them away or even draw his sword to kill.] [Maybe what sister said before was right, there are no heroes in this world that can save people like us, there never were.] [Aina said a lot all at once, the little girls mood was quite down.] Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Traveler, you feel an inexplicable sadness.] [Your Sadness Value +9] [Ding! Do you want to comfort Aina?] [Yes] [Traveler, you reach your hand toward the little girls head; Aina looks at you, puzzled, but does not choose to back away.] [Yay! You touched Ainas head!] [Your Happiness Level +23] [You gently stroke Ainas hair and say softly, Why place your hopes in someone else? You can be a hero yourself.] [Note: Suspicious traveler with a knack for smooth talking, where did you learn that? Come clean right now!] [Aina shakes her head bitterly, I cant do it, Aina is not as resolute and brave as sister, Aina is just a coward, if it wasnt for sisters protection all these years, I would have died long ago.] [You pause for a moment, then slowly say, Then I will also protect you.] [The little Lolita suddenly looks up at you.] [Ding! Ainas Favorability towards you +20!] [Ainas Favorability towards you has risen to: 133 (Somewhat fond of the handsome big brother)] [Traveler, you take the chance to pet the wolf ears on Ainas head.] [Warm, fluffy, cute..] [Your Happiness Level +22] [Your Happiness Level +15] [Note: The perverted Traveler is none other than this cop uncle!] Luo Xi: (*???*)! It seemed like something incredible had just happened! If it werent for the fact that both the Dream Sync Module and the Immersion talent were cooling down right now, he would have wanted to dive into the game immediately to personally experience petting the Little Wolf Girls happiness cough cough. [Ehehe~ Brother Luo Xi, that tickles.] [With your comfort, the little girls mood seemed to have improved, and the tea-gold luster returned to her eyes.] [Slap] [Something interesting happened.] [The Cat-eared Girl, covered in snowflakes, leaped in through the window and looked at the two of you, her face filled with confusion.] [Note: Traveler, while others are outside struggling, youre here petting her sister. Youve been caught red-handed, you better get your belongings in order and prepare for the aftermath~] Luo Xi: [Traveler, you froze in place, then nonchalantly withdrew your hand from petting Ainas head and stuck it in your pocket.] [Note: Traveler, isnt this the moment to turn your head aside and whistle casually as if nothing had happened?] [But Traveler, youre in luck, Weier doesnt seem to want to talk about you touching her sisters head while she was away. The girl shook off all the snowflakes from her body and went into the bedroom.] [Traveler, you hear many cries from the people in the street outside.] [In the midst of the snowstorm, the escaping residents of Grey Stone Street gradually returned to the devastated streets. They stood silently in front of their destroyed houses or clutched their deceased loved ones, weeping bitterly.] [Ding! Your Sadness Value +3] [Note: Traveler, youd be better off not being sad at all!] [Two minutes later, the Cat-eared Girl came out of the room, changed into a pure white, thick nightgown.] [Aina blinked and asked, Did you take care of it, Weier sister?] [Weier seemed a bit distracted and after a while nodded, I didnt manage to lure it away, but Uncle Noss took action.] [Aina frowned: That man again?] [Traveler, you noticed that Weier seemed to be absent-minded.] [What exactly happened during that short period of time the Cat-eared Girl was away?] [Weier was silent for a long time before she looked at Aina and said softly, Theres something I need to tell you, Aina. The day after tomorrow, sister plans to go through Uncle Noss to enter Winter City.] [Without hesitation, Aina said, Wherever sister goes, Aina will follow!] [Mhm. Weier looked at you apologetically, Im sorry, I can get you into Winter City tomorrow night. Ill find a safe place for you there before I leave.]] [The Little Lolita expressed her surprise: Isnt Brother Luo Xi coming with us?] [Weier nodded.] [Oh Ainas wolf ears drooped in displeasure.] [Weier beckoned to you to come to the room, Luo Xi, come here, I need to talk to you. Aina, dont come in for now.]] [Note: Traveler, what awaits you? Could it be a whip or candle wax] Dont interrupt with critical text at the wrong time! [You followed the Cat-eared Girl into the room.] [Weier stood in the center of the room, hesitated for a while, then said to you, Can I ask you for a favor?] [Your Confusion Level +10] [Traveler, you were a bit puzzled, what could the Cat-eared Girl possibly need to ask for your help?] [If something happens to me later, and if youre still alive and capable, then please, take care of Aina. Take her and leave Winter City, the farther the better, the Cat-eared Girl said calmly.] Luo Xi: His fingers tapping on the screen slowed down. Why did this Cat Cats tone have a hint of entrusting her last wishes? Chapter 39 - 39 39 Traveler hurry up and buy this Little ?Chapter 39: Chapter 39 Traveler, hurry up and buy this Little Wolf Girl_1 Chapter 39: Chapter 39 Traveler, hurry up and buy this Little Wolf Girl_1 Cats, such small animals are naturally very suspicious. Perhaps it was because she had been infected with the Cat Clan factor from birth, but Weier had always considered herself to be someone of a suspicious nature. However, her self-perception began to deviate after picking up Luo Xi outside the gates of Winter City that day. Was she really suspicious? In the past, Weier would never allow a stranger to live in her home. After all, she couldnt be certain whether Luo Xis proximity to them was truly coincidental or if he harbored any ill intentions. Yet now, for some reason, the girl found this silly young man very pleasing to the eye. It seemed that Aina liked him too. So then she would just have to trust him for now. Thats what Weier thought to herself. . [Traveler, your Shock Value +20!] [Your Happiness Level +10] [Although you really want to take Little Aina away, as someone with a moral bottom line, you clearly wouldnt so easily agree to the girls request without asking for clarity.] Luo Xi: (ب)! This text makes it sound like hes a criminal always thinking of abducting Little Lolitas. How could traveling together be called abduction! [You ask, Why?] [Im just giving you a heads-up as a precaution; theres no need to take it too much to heart.] [With a light tone, Weier speaks, Im just worried that if something happens to me, there will be no one to look after Aina. But now that I think about it, if I were to come to harm and you, the ultimate unlucky fellow, were still alive, that would indeed be a strange turn of events.] [Traveler, you feel that your luck has been scorned] [Your Happiness Level -10] [Note: It must be said that the Cat-eared girls judgment is quite sharp; there are few people more unfortunate than you, Traveler.] Luo Xi: .. [Although the Cat-eared girl sounds relaxed on the surface, you know that Cat Cat definitely has more on her mind that shes not saying.] [It can be inferred from Weiers words that after she went out, she made contact with the Rat King of the Snake and Rat Meeting once.] [So, it is because of the Rat King?] [A stream of thoughts rapidly flashes through your mind.] [Is it because the old sly Rat King discovered that the Corruption Curse was removed from your body, and so he plans to make a move against this Cat Cat who saved you?] [It shouldnt be; theres no need for the Rat King to do so.] [With the Rat Kings strength, even if he knew the curse was lifted from you, he could just come and kill you directly; there would be no need to target Weier and Aina, his friends daughters.] [So, is it something else?] [Traveler, you ask the girl, Is it because of the Rat Kings issue?] [The Cat-eared girl shivers slightly, and her cat tail moves about unconsciously behind her before curling around her small forearm.] [Note: So cute~ But its a bit heartbreaking.] [Under your earnest and sincere gaze, Weier heaves a light sigh and says, More or less, but it might be different from what youre thinking. Uncle Noss said that in the storage of the Snake and Rat Meeting, he found some relics left by my mother. He plans to hand them over to me when he departs the day after tomorrow morning, so I wont be joining you into the city.] [But dont worry, Ill find you a safe location to leave from tomorrow night. After the locust plague passes, Ill come to get you out of Winter City.] [So thats it Dammit!] [You frown and ask, What did you mean by your words earlier? Why do you think something might happen to you?] [The Cat-eared girl blinks her light red eyes, smiles faintly, and says, So I just mentioned it as a precaution. In this dangerous world, anyone might encounter something unexpected, right? Youre no exception and neither am I. Of course, it would be best if nothing happened.] [If such a time does come, and you manage to survive, then I hope you can look after Aina for me, I mean it just as the words suggest. Shes an easy child to raise. After all, to save you, I used a scroll worth 100 gold coins. If Id sold that scroll, I could raise dozens of Ainas.] [Why me? you ask.] [Perhaps its because you seem pretty silly.] Luo Xi: That hurts. [Traveler, you voice the question thats been weighing on your heart: Youre actually suspicious of the Rat King, right? Suspect of his intentions towards you] [The Cat-eared girl puts a finger to her lips, closes one eye, and smiles: Until I see and know for myself what happened back then, all speculations are just thatspeculation. At least for now, Im still willing to trust him. Over these years, hes had plenty of opportunities to take what he wants.] [Thump, thump, thump] [Ainas knocking comes from outside the door.] [Weier goes to open the door, and the Little Wolf Girl with wolf ears plastered to it tumbles in, falling into her arms.] [The Little Lolita, looking pitiful, says, Weier Sister, what are you guys talking about? Why are you hiding it from Aina?] [The Cat-eared girl gently strokes Ainas hair and says with a smile, We were discussing when to sell you, so we had to hide it from you, of course.] [Ah?] [Ainas eyes light up and she asks, Is it to sell Aina to Brother Luo Xi? How much can Brother Luo Xi offer? If the price is right, Aina doesnt mind.] [Note: Traveler, hurry up and spend all you have to buy her!] Sarch* The novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Buy my ass! Do I look like I have any money on me! [Weier: ???] [Has her silly sister fallen into a money pit? Wouldnt she be counting the cash for someone else if she was actually sold!] [Just kidding, Id sell myself before I sell you.] [Weier pats her sisters head, smiling and says, I was discussing with Brother Luo Xi about how to deal with the situation the day after tomorrow, and the detailed plan for tomorrow night.] [Oh Have you finished talking?] [All done.] [Then lets all play cards together!] [Aina pulls out a deck of cards with strange symbols from behind her, looking at you both with her tea gold-colored eyes full of hope, Aina hasnt played games in a long time; can Brother Luo Xi play with Aina?] [You immediately answer, Of course.] [Since its snowing heavily outside, you have nothing else to do anyway. Why not use this opportunity to get closer to the two Beast Eared Girls and increase your Favorability a bit?] [Seeing your agreement, Weier also goes along with her sisters wishes and heads to the living room.] [You havent seen the cards in Ainas hands before, but after she explains the rules to you, with your Small Town Problem Solver talent, you quickly catch on.] [Note: Salted Fish Traveler, that talent is not meant for you to use it like this! Go study properly!] Chapter 40 - 40 40 Aina will bite you once when she sees you ?Chapter 40: Chapter 40 Aina will bite you once when she sees you ~_1 Chapter 40: Chapter 40 Aina will bite you once when she sees you ~_1 [Traveler, youve decided to play the game while asking questions that interest you. Now that youve developed a close relationship with the two beast-eared girls, they shouldnt refuse your inquiries anymore.] [Can you tell me what the levels of the Origin Beasts are? you ask a question and flip over a third-tier Fallen Mind Mage card, The effect of this card is to control a character card on the field of tier three or below. Cat Cat, your card is mine now!] [Skill card, Shield of the Shining, it nullifies the effect of your card, and stop calling me Cat Cat, Weier glanced at you, flipped over her own card, and then slowly explained: Specifically, zero-tier Origin Beasts, which are newly evolved, are just starting to step into transcendence, the same tier as you are currently in. First-tier are common Origin Beasts, second-tier are considered hazardous, and these three tiers can usually be contended with by ordinary people with manpower and weapons. However, from then on, third-tier disasters, fourth-tier lords, fifth-tier kings, sixth-tier abysses, and transcending above all Origin Beasts, placed at the pinnacle, the seventh-tier, the Origin of Disasters, also known as the Origin Disaster. Common people, if they encounter these tiers of Origin Beasts in the wild, are basically doomed. Instead of thinking about running away, its better to think about how to die with some dignity.] [Recorded Event: Origin Beast Tiers] [My turn, right? Aina draws a card, looks at it and cheers: Hehe~ Tier Four Skill, Natural Shockwave! It destroys all face-up cards on the field! Then I use Shield Warrior to attack Brother Luo Xi!] [Skill card, Meteor Fire Stream. Weier followed suit, opening a skill card that dealt ten points of damage to you.] [Traveler, you lost.] emmmm. The beast-eared Lolita sisters teamed up for a doubles match, it seems. Too bad you cant actually experience this dream world card game yourself just yet. As for whether you can play well, it doesnt matter much; having a beast-eared girl by your side to play with is enough cough cough. [Taking advantage of Aina shuffling her cards, you ask, Are the characters printed on these cards real?] [I dont know, Weier shakes her head and says, Maybe they are. The game initially came from the City of Light, and the original cards are very expensive. The most expensive cards, I heard, can be auctioned for tens of thousands of gold coins, so the ones I brought back for Aina are mostly bootlegs.] Luo Xi: [Traveler, you then ask, Can my power still become stronger?] [Weier and Aina both look up at you seriously.] [Ding! Your Fright Value +3] [A piece of advice for you, the cat-eared girl frowns and says, If you dont want to die young, I suggest you better not think about how to become stronger.] [Why?] [Because using merely the mutant abilities is not much of a problem, but if you disturb the balance of the existing Mutant Factors and your body, its erosion will deepen, and you will increasingly slide towards the edge of losing control.] [You saw that monster, didnt you? That is the outcome of losing control, not to mention the Dragon Species factor in you is one of the most unstable Mutant Factors.] [Is there no way?] [Traveler, youre somewhat disappointed.] Sear?h the novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [You possess an immense power, but it seems, you cannot fully control it; rather, it has become a black hole consuming your life.] [Theres not no way.] [Weiers snowy brows lightly furrow as she says, My mother once said that mutation and sublimation, these two paths beyond the mortal, are essentially ways of utilizing Yuan Su. If Mutant Patients can maintain the balance of factors within their bodies and find the correct sublimation path for them, the power of mutation will transform into the strength of sublimation.] [Traveler, your eyes light up.] [But we are not like the pure-blooded human race, who have many paths to choose from in the early stages of sublimation. For people like us, finding a compatible path of sublimation is as hard as reaching the sky.] [Weier sighs lightly, Moreover, those paths to sublimation are controlled by the high-ranking persons in the city. Who would kindly take out their treasured possessions and hand them over to Variants like us?] [Traveler, your Happiness Level -20] [Sister Weier, Aina has a suggestion.] [Aina stood up and stretched languidly, her big tail arching behind her, which, contrasting with her petite stature, only accentuated the cuteness of the little wolf girl.] [Weier asked curiously, What suggestion?] [Aina lifted her hand to make a square gesture with her fingers, Before mom left, she left behind a scroll that I think is for strengthening or something, anyway, that thing is of no use to us, so why not let Brother Luo Xi give it a try?] [Weier paused, then fell silent.] [The cat-eared girls gaze dropped, her eyes half-closed as if sleepy; after a long while, she raised her head and gave you a glance.] [She gave you a look that said, You little rascal really hit the jackpot, then turned and walked into the bedroom.] [Traveler, you became somewhat curious about the special scroll that Aina mentioned.] [Aina spoke softly, That was a scroll that mom had been working on in the small room before she left. Its like a half-finished product, but sister checked it, and the scroll has already completed the most critical main rune structure. Even if its half-finished, it can still be used.] [Its a pity that the scroll is probably custom-made for someone else, and it doesnt match either Aina or sisters attributes, so we cant use it, and no one has come to claim it all these years.] [So, Brother Luo Xi, if you can use it, then you cant sneak away in the future, okay? Its the most precious item mom left behind.] [Otherwise, every time Aina sees you, she will bite you once!] [Traveler, you were charmed by the little Lolita.] [Your Happiness Level +10] [Ainas fierce expression quickly softened, But I know Brother Luo Xi, youre not that type of person. Otherwise, you wouldnt have come out in the first place, right?] [Your Happiness Level +3] [Squeak] [The bedroom door was pushed open, and Weier walked out holding a square box.] [She placed the box on the table and slowly opened it to reveal a fiery red scroll at the center of the box; even from several meters away, you could feel the powerful fluctuations of Yuan Su emanating from it.] [Lets test if your attributes match first] [Traveler, you saw the scroll release a bright light, aiming at your body.] [Ding! Traveler, youve found a Tier Four special scroll, Yuan Su Furnace Core(???)] [Hmm?] [The cat-eared girl showed a shocked expression.] [Ding! Weiers Shock Value +10] [Analyzing] [Yuan Su Furnace Core] [Quality: Purple Color (Epic)] [Category: Special Scroll] [Attribute: Unknown] [Description: This is a scroll that can only be drawn by Skill Masters on the Path Beyond the Mortal with Creation Series skills. Specific descriptions can be read after the scroll is fully unfolded.] [Scroll Completion: 80%] Chapter 41 - 41 41 Traveler your abduction plan is a long ?Chapter 41: Chapter 41 Traveler, your abduction plan is a long and arduous task_1 Chapter 41: Chapter 41 Traveler, your abduction plan is a long and arduous task_1 [This is] [Weiers lips moved slightly, looking at you, the Traveler, with a complex expression.] [The cat-eared girl had not expected that she and Aina had never triggered such a scene with this scroll, which seemed to be in perfect sync with you.] [Weier softly said, Why not give it a try? I also want to see what the last work left by my mother looks like.] [Traveler, you stepped forward, took the scroll from the box, and slowly unraveled it.] [The scroll was so hot that it seemed like a scalding iron block, but you did not feel any burning sensation; instead, you felt an indescribable warmth.] [Would you like to use the special scroll, Yuan Su Furnace Core?] [Warm reminder: This scroll is a rune-made object and cannot be reclaimed once unfolded] Luo Xis fingers hesitated for a moment. Then, he clicked on it. [Yes] [The scroll turned into dazzling light, like the sun in the sky, as countless strange runes flowed out of the scroll, gathering before your eyes.] [Ding! Traveler, you have triggered a temporary thought sync; your will is fully copied into the Dream World.] [Please, according to your thoughts, envisage the Yuan Su Furnace Core.] Luo Xi suddenly found his vision engulfed in darkness. However, this time his consciousness did not fall into that Dream World; only his sight had changed. He saw a mass of red light shimmering and floating within the darkness. As his consciousness dictated, the red light drew closer and closer, undulating and expanding, its form continuously changing. Envision the Furnace Core according to his thoughts? Then a handsome hat, just right to cover those horns on his head. The red light gradually contracted, and a white gentlemans hat with a black rim materialized in Luo Xis vision, exactly as he had imagined. Soon, the darkness before his eyes dissipated, and Luo Xi found that he had returned. [Ding! The envisioned form of Yuan Su Furnace Core has been determined.] [The brilliant light vanished as if it had never appeared.] [A stylish black and white gentlemans hat appeared in your hand.] [You felt the hat continuously absorbing the pure Yuan Su surrounding you.] [Weier looked on in disbelief, Did that hat come from the scrolls transformation?] [Traveler, you too were quite astonished.] [How could a scroll become a real object?] [Such a thing, defying the laws of physics oh, this isnt your world, so thats fine then.] [Aina rushed over, grabbing your arm, her big tail swinging wildly, her tea-gold eyes filled with anticipation.] [Amazing! Brother Luo Xi, you must try it on!] [Traveler, you took off the hat you were originally wearing and put on the gentlemans hat.] [Equipment analyzed.] [Yuan Su Furnace Core (Unfolded)] [Quality: Purple Color (Epic)] Sar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Once the runes take effect, an independent Yuan Su Furnace Core can be formed outside the body, which can be used to absorb and store Yuan Su. It can be released when needed to increase the output of weapons, skills, or abilities. The runic construction seems to hold some unknown power.] [Completion Level: 80%] [Luo Xi, brother, how does it feel? Aina asked impatiently.] [Traveler, you feel the temperature of the hat on your head constantly rising, and the temperature of your bodys surface is also unceasingly increasing.] [Its like an engine that never stops running, generating heat enough to burn an ordinary person.] [Fortunately, after being eroded by the Mutant Factor, your tolerance for high temperatures far exceeds that of an average person; temperatures around sixty or seventy degrees are still bearable for you.] Wow, no wonder the scroll couldnt be used by Weier and Aina. If it were anyone else, they probably wouldnt dare touch this mutated thing. [Ah, its so hot, Luo Xi, brother, whats happening to you!] [The little Lolita suddenly moved away from your side, blowing on her little hands that she had rested on your arm and consequently got burned.] [Traveler, you quickly take off the gentlemans hat and place it on the table. Weier comes over, touches it gently with her hand, but she doesnt feel anything special.] [After pondering over the hat for a while, Weier says: This hat seems to have the property of storing and releasing heat. Because of the Red Dragon Species factor in your body, this heat wont cause you any harm.] [I cant guess the other functions, but from what can be seen, it seems youve become a human-shaped heating stone.] [Your Confusion Level +15] [Hmm?] [Weier says with a smile, That means even if you stood naked in the Snow Field, as long as you wore this hat, you would not freeze to death from losing body heat.] [Aina blinked her tea gold eyes: Then, can I sleep close to Brother Luo Xi at night? This way, we could even save the money used to heat the warm stone.] [Awesome! Cuddle with the Little Wolf Girl!] [Note: ???] [Weier immediately says angrily, What are you thinking? Absolutely not!] [Note: Traveler, your plan to abduct the Little Wolf Girl is almost complete, but it seems you still have a long way to go to abduct the Cat Lady.] Luo Xi: Goddamn long and arduous journey. Can this damn text not turn such inspirational words into something so strange! Weier looked at the young man in the white hat, who was looking rather foolish, with some doubts in her heart. Her mother had never demonstrated the ability to create such strange scrolls in front of them. Before Aina came to their house, she knew that her mother would make Skill scrolls on a regular basis. Those mysterious runes, like the most obedient pets under her mothers hands, would arrange themselves independently on the blank scrolls, eventually turning into Skill scrolls that could be used. Most of the scrolls were sold by her mother, with only a small portion left at home. These were the reliance for Weier and Aina to protect themselves after their mother had an accident. Now that she thought about it carefully, Weier felt it was strange. All the money from the sales of so many scrolls, why had she never seen it at home? Scrolls produced by a Tier Four Skill Master would not have to worry about sales and prices, whether in the black market or within Winter City. Where exactly had the money from those scroll sales gone? Also, who was that special scroll originally meant for? The girls heart was filled with a myriad of doubts. All of this seemed like a coincidence, the young man she had brought back could use that scroll perfectly. Was it really just a coincidence? [Ding! Weiers Confusion Level towards you +10] Luo Xi: ? Chapter 42 - 42 42 Slander This is Slander _1 ?Chapter 42: Chapter 42 Slander! This is Slander! _1 Chapter 42: Chapter 42 Slander! This is Slander! _1 [After some research, Aina had lost interest in the hat, putting away the playing cards on the table and sitting on the sofa, quietly reading the book in her hands. She would occasionally flip a page or two, making a crisp sound.] [Try the hat and see if it has any use for yourself.] [Weier handed you the hat, she cracked open a small gap in the window and listened to the sounds from outside.] [Outside, many people had wailed for half a day, but ultimately, they had to leave the ruins under the severe cold.] [The bodies of those who had died were also taken away by their families.] [The cat-eared girl looked somewhat sorrowful.] [Traveler, perhaps you could reenact the scene where you comforted Aina and go to comfort Weier as well.] [Before you could take action, you suddenly realized that this cat-eared girl was different from Little Aina, her awareness of the cruelty of this world not only surpassed Ainas but yours by far.] [After all, as a traveler from another world, you naturally did not belong to this one.] [Traveler, you returned to the room that had become yours.] [The room was empty, but there was already a mat laid on the floor, along with a thick quilt and a warming stone resting on the quilt, though you no longer needed such a stone.] Luo Xi thought of something. Speaking of which, the hat from the game that had been synthesized should be able to be brought into reality, right? As he thought this, a line of text appeared on his phone screen. [Would you like to add the Essence Core to your Dreamworld knapsack?] [Yes] [Collected] [Would you like to retrieve it to your current location?] [Yes] In a flash of white light, Luo Xis hand now held a gentlemans hat, white with a black band around the edge. In an instant, familiar energy surged within the hat in his hand, transforming into intense heat energy that entered his body. Damn. Luo Xi frantically tapped the screen to hurry and stuff the hat back into the Dreamworld knapsack. According to his speculation, the reason the dragon horns on his head had not materialized was due to the absence of Essence in the real world, but if there were enough Essence, then these red and black dragon horns would likely solidify within minutes. Hell have to be more cautious in the future, especially with things like Essence Crystals, formed from the high concentration of Essence, they shouldnt be recklessly brought into the real world. [Dong dong] [Traveler, someone is knocking on your door.] [You go over and open the door, and Weier is standing outside, her expression solemn, even more so than when she saw someone lose control.] [You ask in confusion, What happened?] [The warming stones at home have gone cold for some reason. The cat-eared girl narrowed her eyes at you and said, You didnt secretly make them cool, did you?] [Traveler, you are completely baffled.] Luo Xi: He was also completely baffled. No, how is the cooling of the warming stones anything to do with me? [Just kidding. Let me see how the warming stone in your room is doing.] [Weier walked past you toward the quilt, lifted the spherical warming stone.] [Quickly, the girl put down the warming stone and shook her head, This one has gone cold too.] [Ding! Traveler, your Shock Value +11] [You immediately say, It definitely wasnt me!] [You dont need to say it, youve been right under our eyes the whole time, when would you have had the chance to do this?] [Traveler, you feel quite relieved that the Cat Cat didnt suspect your noble character.] [Weier looked up at the hat on your head, frowning, I suspect that it absorbed all the heat stored in the warming stones nearby when it was manifesting. Does it actually have this kind of property?] [Traveler, you curiously ask, Can the warming stone be fixed?] [The cat-eared girl shook her head.] [Traveler, you suddenly get excited, if all the heating items in the house werent working, wouldnt it mean that the two beast-eared Lolitas would need to cuddle up to you for warmth when sleeping at night] [Ding! Your Happiness Level +10] [Note: Traveler, you sure are imaginative!] [What in the world are you thinking about?] [Weier unhappily tossed the warming stone at you, and you catch it deftly with both hands.] [The warming stone is not broken; theres no need to fix it. Go and fetch the one from the living room as well, well go to the Warming Stone Store and exchange for three new ones. Usually, a warming stone can maintain heat for a week after heating, but because of what you did, weve lost three copper coins. Ill be putting that on your tab.] [Traveler: (??)!] [Your Happiness Level -10] [Note: Traveler, are you upset because you now owe three copper coins, or because you cant cuddle with the two beast-eared Lolitas?] These broken texts are so annoying! [Weier Sister, Aina also wants to go this time.] [When you walked out of your room, Aina had already picked up the warming stone placed on the living room table, ready to try it out.] [The cat-eared girl was somewhat surprised, Aina, you want to go outside?] [Yeah! Aina said, looking up: Aina is going to be a great traveler in the future!] [Seeing your puzzled look, Weier explained, Aina, this kid, usually only leaves the house for a meal when somebody invites her out; otherwise, she stays indoors all the time. Even when I ask her to join me to buy daily necessities, she refuses.] Well, isnt this the spitting image of modern homebodies lifestyle? [What on earth is this warming stone? Cant it be heated up by oneself? you asked.] [The warming stone isnt expensive, its just a mineral that stores heat. However, it needs to be heated with a special device, which we cant afford to buy, so we have to rent its use.] [Once heated, it can maintain warmth for about seven days. In the cold night and on the snow field, the warming stone is an essential item for sustaining life.] [Weier explained and then went into her bedroom, bringing out the warming stone they kept in their room.] S~ea??h the N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Lets go.] [Weier flung open the living room door] [As the snowflakes swirled in, the cat-eared girl suddenly remembered that the stairs outside hadnt been fixed yet] [Traveler, you are idly strolling] Chu Tianwen had been wandering around Grey Stone Street for quite a while. There indeed was that kind of industry here. He had experienced it firsthand. Just around noon, he had spent a warm half-hour with a beast-eared girl. The synchronization function of the dream world sure is handy, heh heh~ [Traveler, up ahead on the road, you saw the otherworld traveler from this morning.] [Beside him were two adorable beast-eared little girls, and all three of them were carrying a warming stone, seemingly headed somewhere.] Chu Tianwens eyes lit up, sitting straight up from the bed. He had finally found the guy. This man was the first other player he had encountered in the game; he couldnt just let him go without clarification. But with two beast-eared lolitas following him Chu Tianwen had an epiphany. No wonder the guy had turned and walked away upon hearing his offer to find some beast-eared big sisters to have fun with. Turns out this guys sexual inclination was rather unique. Of course, that wasnt a big problem, as this wasnt reality, after all. In the real world, Chu Tianwen would have severely criticized Luo Xi, calling him a scoundrel. But in the game, it didnt matter. After all, he had just enjoyed himself for half an hour too. [Traveler, you wanted to greet him, but he ignored you once again as he left with the two beast-eared lolitas.] [Traveler, frustrated, you shouted at him, Brother Jiuge, wait up! How about we exchange information we both know?] [He still ignored you.] [Traveler, feeling very angry, you yelled, You damn loli-con! Cant you hear me talking?] Chu Tianwen: Why do the game characters always take things into their own hands? Is he someone who doesnt read the room? He felt like he was about to get punched again. /// [Traveler, you, along with Weier and Aina, each carried a warming stone as you slowly walked the snow-covered streets.] [At a corner, you came across the otherworld traveler you had met this morning.] [You didnt want to deal with the person, ignoring his greeting.] [But he shouted at you loudly, You damn loli-con! Cant you hear me talking?] [Ding! Your Anger Value +40] Luo Xi was suddenly frantic. Where did this idiot spring from? Wasnt his character merely walking with two beast-eared little lolitas? Why was he being slandered for no reason! _ [ps, Some people mentioned that the protagonist hasnt used his backtracking talent yet, but thats because he hasnt died since the first day he died a few times; he has been saved by Cat Cat every time. And if he really backtracked, all the favorability of the beast-eared lolitas would be gone, and they would treat him as a stranger, which would surely make him explode mentally. Of course, Moonflows talent will definitely be used, but no spoilers for now. Additionally, this story mainly revolves around the Dream world narrative, though there will be real-world plot later. However, as a normal person, the protagonist just wants to pet beast-eared girls ahem.] Chapter 43 - 43 43 - Can Be Close after Marriage_1 ?Chapter 43: Chapter 43 C Can Be Close after Marriage_1 Chapter 43: Chapter 43 C Can Be Close after Marriage_1 Loli-con? Weier furrowed her brows as she looked at you, What does this term mean? And do you know this person? Aina retreated behind you, timidly peeking out her small head, with her tea-gold colored eyes watching the person ahead closely, she wrinkled her nose. Brother Luo Xi, who is he? The Little Wolf Girl had already sniffed out that the man wrapped in the cotton coat was not a Mutant Patient; he was a full-blooded human. Traveler, you didnt know how to explain the term Loli-con to Weier, nor did you know how to introduce this stranger to them. Because you didnt know this person at all! Although you were both travelers from the Otherworld, you had not interacted with each other; you only met briefly that morning. So you said, I dont know him, lets hurry on our way. That person added, Being fellow strangers in a foreign land, whats the harm in communicating more with each other? Traveler, whats your response? Maybe next time, Im busy right now. Sorry, nothing to share. Traveler, you told him youd chat the next time you meet since you had urgent matters to attend to now. The other party looked at you and the two Beast Eared Girls by your side, revealing an ambiguous smile. He said, Alright, alright, I wont disturb your fun, but youve got to give me an address where I can find you, right? Luo Xi: Did this guy across from him misunderstand something? He could already picture the player holding the phone, with undoubtedly a strange smile on his face. Dont waste any more time, its so cold outside, Weier spoke out, 189 Central Straight Street, if you want to find this guy, come to this address next time. Having said that, Weier grabbed your clothes and tugged you forward. Aina quickly picked up the rock and followed the two of you. Leaving the Otherworld traveler standing alone in the wind and snow, looking rather foolish. Traveler, with some confusion you asked, Does our house even have a house number? First of all, its mine and Ainas house, not yours, the Cat-eared Girl corrected the mistake in your speech, smiling slightly, I just made up a number, Grey Stone Street doesnt have any house numbers. Luo Xi: This Cat Cat seems to be a master of pretense! Aina, standing by the side, reached out to catch a snowflake and said softly, The snow is getting heavier. Yeah, Weier raised her head and glanced at the white expanse of sky, who knows how long it will keep snowing. Ah-choo! The Little Lolita suddenly sneezed, and when you turned to look, you saw the girls face turn red in an instant. Weier asked with concern, Are you very cold? Its okay, Ill just lean close to Brother Luo Xi and Ill be fine, Aina replied. Aina moved closer to you. Ding! Your Happiness Level +19 Ainas face showed a cute smile. Brother Luo Xi, youre so warm, I dont feel cold at all standing beside you! Weier said somewhat helplessly, Aina, dont get too close. [The little Lolita said innocently, But its really cold now, and its very, very warm next to Brother Luo Xi. Sister, do you want to try it?] [Traveler, your Happiness Level +10] [Note: Traveler, dont get too carried away! As a professional warming device, you have no right to be happy!] Carried away! Who the hell is a warming device!? [Weier gave you a glaring look and then softly said to Aina, That wont do either. You are a girl, and girls shouldnt touch men casually.] [Aina blinked and asked curiously, Then, how can you touch a man?] [The Cat-eared girl hesitated for a moment] [This was entering the realm of her knowledge gap] [After a thought, she said, Probably after getting married, I guess.] [Do you have to get married first?] [Yeah. Cat Cat nodded.] [So, if Sister marries Brother Luo Xi, does that mean she can touch Brother Luo Xi then?] [Huh?] [Weier looked bewildered, as she had never anticipated that Aina, after circling around, would bring the topic back to her] Luo Xi was so amused by the text that he wanted to burst into laughter. It seemed that Cat Cat had shot herself in the foot. The Little Wolf Girl might be young, but she had a cunningness that was remarkable, and given a few more years, she would probably have her sister completely wrapped around her finger. [If Sister doesnt want to, then if Aina married Brother Luo Xi, does that mean she can also] [Stop right there! Lets hurry to the workshop.] [Traveler, To prevent the topic from spiraling further out of control, you interjected and cut off Ainas words] [Aina still seemed slightly dissatisfied and pouted her lips.] Sarch* The n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

They deal in various daily necessities. They even sell some common weapons and impure Essence Crystals, but those are expensive.] [Weier spoke gently, The monster from earlier was an employee of Deep Alley Workshop who lost control. Last time I came to shop, he was the one who served me.] [Traveler, you sensed the sorrow in the Cat-eared girls heart] [No matter how clearly she understood the cruelty of this world, she was, after all, just a girl in the bloom of youth. In your world, she would have just started high school, right?] [Suddenly, a roar echoed from inside the shop] [Liselle, get out! Deep Alley Workshop does not welcome you!] [At the same time, a woman with red hair, cursing and complaining, walked out of the shop carrying a dark-skinned baby. She turned back and cursed viciously at the person inside the door, menacing but not daring to take a step back inside] [The Cat-eared girl took a step forward and softly called out, Liselle.] [The woman named Liselle trembled when she heard her name called. Turning around and noticing two girls and a young man, her expression eased, Whats the matter?] [Weier said indifferently, What are you doing here? Rhea lost complete control of his factors because of you, dont you have any thoughts about it?] [What does his losing control have to do with me!] [Liselle hugged her child a bit more tightly, becoming frantic, Why are you all blaming me for the property loss and the dead? He did all that, and if youre going to find someone, find him! My family doesnt have a penny left, are you really trying to drive my child and me to our deaths?] [Im not here to collect debts, nor do you owe me anything.

We never saw you before, and now youve found a man and cant wait to show off?] [Weiers expression turned cold, and she glanced at her dismissively without responding further.] [Lets go, theres no need to continue talking with this person, the cat-eared girl told you.] [Traveler, you followed Weier as she walked towards the shop.] [Just as you were about to step through the shop door, your hand was suddenly grabbed.] [You turned around and found that it was the red-haired woman who had grabbed you.] [Liselle, holding your arm, gave you a flirtatious wink, Hey there, handsome, why dont you come over to my place for a couple of days? Im sure Im more charming than those two girls who dont have an ounce of sex appeal. You dont have to pay much, five, no, ten silver coins a month would suffice.] [Ding! Your Nausea Value +50] [Ding!

The gust it created caused her hair to be disturbed.] [In Weiers light red eyes, intense anger was evident.] [Traveler, you had never seen Weier so angry before.] [However, you felt a strong sense of empathy.] [No matter which world, theres always some unreasonable and nauseating individuals, and not only that, but to say such intimidating words to Aina, such an adorable Little Lolita] [Aina tugged on your clothes and whispered softly, Weier, Brother Luo Xi, never mind them.] [You, all of you, just wait!] [Liselle, holding the baby that was now wailing out of fright, scurried outside, and her silhouette quickly disappeared in the storm.] [Sigh. A deep sigh came from behind, Its such a pity about that child. Liselle has her redeeming traits, but with a mother like that, I doubt hell grow up with a good character.] [Traveler, you turned around and saw a man about two meters tall coming out from the shop, standing beside the doorpost.] [The mans hands were covered in long fur, which extended to the sides of his cheeks, and his build was as sturdy as a humanoid brown bear.] [Weier asked, Uncle Bear, who is that child really?] [Who knows, the man sighed. It certainly cant be Rheas; he and Liselle are both from light-skinned races. How could they have a child with completely black skin and thick lips?] [Weve been trying to talk sense into Rhea for several days, but in the end, he couldnt get past his doubts and thats what led to this tragedy today.] [I heard Rheas last outburst was at your place. You didnt get hurt, did you?] [Weier shook her head, No.] [Thats good to know. That woman even had the nerve to come and demand the things Rhea left behind from me just now, pissing me off so much that I threw her out right away.] [The man spit, Forget it, lets not talk about that ominous woman. Weier, did you come to reheat the warm stone today?] Hmm. How come I remember you just heated it up four days ago? Probably used it up faster than usual. Uh alright then. The man lowered his head to glance at you and Aina behind you, his eyes reflecting a trace of curiosity. Ding! Same-sex repulsion talent triggered, ??s favorability toward you -30. Current ??s favorability toward you: -30 (not very fond of stranger). Luo Xi: Fortunately, this favorability doesnt represent ones stance; otherwise, with such a deduction, this guy might have become an enemy. The mans gaze swept over you and landed on Aina, Its quite rare, is this little sister of yours actually came out from home with you? Little Aina, do you remember me? I visited your house once when your mom was still around Damn, what a big mouth I have, just pretend I didnt say anything, alright? Aina shrank her head behind you, revealing just one tea gold-colored big eye. Weier smiled and said, Its alright, my sister isnt that fragile. Come on in, its cold outside. The man moved aside to open the path for you to enter. Traveler, you walked in holding the warm stone. The man seemed to remember something and tentatively asked, Isnt this young man the one who killed Black Snake at Weiers place yesterday? Traveler, you didnt know how to respond. Weier nodded her head. Impressive! The man patted your shoulder, and his favorability towards you greatly increased! That dead gay Black Snake, Ive been annoyed with him for a long time. Last time he damned came here wanting to spend a night with me for ten silver coins, if not for the fear of him being from the Snake and Rat Meeting, I wouldve torn that mouth of his long ago. Ding! ??s favorability toward you +60! What do they call you, young brother? Youre new to Grey Stone Street, right? Luo Xi. Im Lek, forty years old this year. You can also call me Uncle Bear, Im in charge of the reception at Deep Alley Workshop. Whenever you want to buy something, you can come and find me. Although we dont have as many goods as the black market, our stuff is fine and cheap. Lek turned to Weier with a teasing smile, Little Weier, whats this brother to you? If I recall correctly, its the first time youre taking a male companion out, isnt it? Weier was startled for a moment. Then the cat-eared girl said in annoyance, Hes not my anything! Little Aina whispered from the side, If Weier sister doesnt want Brother Luo Xi, then he can be Ainas, I do like brother quite a bit. Ding! Your happiness level +15. Note: Traveler, snatch and grab! Lek laughed heartily, Then Little Aina needs to eat more and grow up quickly, otherwise your sister might beat you to it. Aina nodded earnestly, Mhm mhm. Traveler, you didnt dare join in the conversation and merely pretended as if you heard nothing, wandering around the large workshop store. Inside the workshop, there were many workers and customers; you passed by them, heading toward a less crowded area. Ding! Detected many weapons and equipment around you that can be used. Ordinary Wooden Staff, Iron Shield, Sharp Dagger Exquisite Staff Exquisite Longsword In an instant, many words leaped out, dazzling Luo Xi. Note: Traveler, just grab and run, the faster, the better! This shameless text is trying to corrupt the kids! Traveler, you heard a miserable cry coming from outside. Deep Alley Workshops people seized my husbands belongings and had people beat me up, how are my poor child and I supposed to live! Chapter 45 - 45 45 Your Favorability Grinding Target is ?Chapter 45: Chapter 45 Your Favorability Grinding Target is Wrong_1 Chapter 45: Chapter 45 Your Favorability Grinding Target is Wrong_1 [Weier and Leks expressions changed as they worked on heating up the warming stones with the device, heading toward the door together.] [Aina ran over to you, seemingly afraid, and hid behind you.] [Traveler, you wanted to comfort the Little Wolf Girl, but just as you were about to raise your hand, you remembered that your body temperature was very high at the moment, and you couldnt touch others at random.] [Perhaps due to the incomplete scroll, the Furnace Core hat, once in contact with you, would start operating incessantly and heat up your body temperature uncontrollably.] [So you took off the hat on your head and placed it inside the Dreamland bag. After the heat on your body dissipated, you gently stroked Ainas long hair and wolf ears.] [You said softly, Its okay, you have your big brother and sister here, theres no need to be afraid.] [Mhm. The Little Lolita nodded.] [Ainas Favorability +5] [Ainas Favorability +3] [Your Happiness Level +10] [Note: Perverted and suspicious traveler, you just want to touch the Little Wolf Girls beast ears, dont you! Stop hiding it, you hentai!] Tsk, does this lousy script not know what it means to farm for favorability. [Note: Traveler, youre quite cunning. You havent even won over the sister yet, and the little sister is almost being taken away by you. The targets you choose for raising favorability seem quite shady!] Luo Xis mouth twitched. How would I know my character is just focused on farming favorability with the Little Wolf Girl. Although its also due to the fact that Ainas favorability is easier to raise. That proud Cat-eared Girl is so damn hard to even get close to. [Traveler, you took the gentlemans hat out of your bag again, put it on your head, and walked slowly towards the workshop door, with Aina following behind you with small steps.] [You saw the disgusting woman who was before sitting in front of the door, holding her child and crying her heart out.] [Note: Traveler, its time to give this woman another slap and stop her from going mad here.] [The burly Lek watched coldly from the side, having no intention at all of dealing with the woman.] [Weiers expression remained unchanged.] [Traveler, you joined the crowd as a spectator.] [Your Happiness Level +5] [Note: This level of happiness is nothing compared to petting Ainas head!] [The outdoor temperature during the day has already dropped to below minus twenty degrees, comparable to the previous nights temperature, and you dont believe this woman would last long in this weather.] [Even if she can withstand it, the child in her arms definitely cant handle it; the poor child seems to be frozen unconscious already, not even crying out.] [However, when Liselle noticed you all, she immediately glared at you as if she had seen her enemy, opened her mouth, and began to shout wildly on one side.] [Rean, they are the ones who hit me!] [Traveler, three people walked out from the side and headed towards you.] [The leader was a man with a whole body of black skin, with large horns on his head like those of a water buffalo and huge nostrils like a bulls. The other two were one fat and one thin.] [Is this a Minotaur?] [Your Shock Value +10] [Liselle got up from the ground, ran beside the horned man, and cried out pointing at you all, Rean, they are the ones who hit me just now. Look at my swollen face, you must avenge me.] [The Minotaur pushed away the woman in displeasure, growling, Whats all this fuss about!? You stupid woman, why did you provoke the people from Deep Alley Workshop?] [Theyre not from Deep Alley Workshop!] [Liselle pointed at you and Weier, It was that cat and that man who hit me just now. Theyre not from Deep Alley Workshop, so teaching them a lesson should be fine, right?] [Traveler, you leaned close to the Cat-eared girl and whispered, Who is he?] [Youre too close.] [Weier pushed your face away, somewhat disgusted, and said, Rean, a local hoodlum from Grey Stone Street. Hes somewhat capable, but hes lazy and doesnt work, just extorts the neighbors for a living. No one on Grey Stone Street likes him. If he didnt have a relative serving as a guard in Winter City, hed probably have been killed by now.] [So this Minotaur is the womans lover?] [Minotaur? Lover? Weier paused momentarily, finding it odd, and said, Probably what you said.] [So it was you, you scoundrel Rean!] [Leks voice thundered in anger, I found it very strange indeed; how could two white-skinned people have a black-skinned child? You scoundrel, your extortion isnt enough, you even stole someones wife, do you not have a shred of conscience?] [Conscience? Rean, the Minotaur, sneered derisively, What is that? Can you eat it? And when have I ever stolen someones wife? You cant smear my innocence. My relationship with Liselle is clean.] [Reans words had barely left his mouth, and before you all had a chance to react, Liselle was the one to get frantic.] [Liselle clutched the Minotaurs arm, crying, Big Brother Rean, didnt you say you would take care of me in the future? This child must be yours too. You cant go back on your word and break your promise!] [Traveler, you were caught up in eating melons] [Your Happiness Level +20] [Note: Now this is more happiness-inducing than patting the Little Lolitas head.] Luo Xi was also shocked. A Minotaur stealing someone elses wife, thats professional expertise for you. [This is my child? Rean snatched the child from Liselles arms, glanced at it casually, then turned to look at the short fat guy accompanying him, Dunzi, tell me, is this my child?] [The short fat guy chuckled, Big brother, of course this cant be your child. You are unmarried, so where would a child come from?] S~ea??h the N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Rean cheerfully stuffed the child back into Liselles arms, stealthily copping a feel of her round body.] [See, everyone says this isnt my child, so you, stupid woman, better not talk nonsense, otherwise, itll cause misunderstandings among the neighbors.] [Liselles eyes had already turned dull.] [But this this really is your child. Except for Rhea, its only been you] [Enough already. The Minotaur sighed, Ill be kind enough to look after this child from now on as my adopted son. As for you, come to my place later as a warm bed maid to take care of my dear deceased buddy Rhea, sound good?] [Liselles dim eyes suddenly lit up, Of course, thats great! So Big Brother Rean, that ] [Rean narrowed his eyes at Liselle, What should you call me? As a maid, you should know that you cant just call your master by his name, right?] Chapter 46 - 46 46 Beast Ear Loli-con Veiled Minotaur ?Chapter 46: Chapter 46 Beast Ear Loli-con Veiled Minotaur Warrior!_1 Chapter 46: Chapter 46 Beast Ear Loli-con Veiled Minotaur Warrior!_1 [Yes, Rean Master.] [Very good! Rean laughed heartily.] [Liselle hugged the child in her arms tightly, turned her head, and glared at you, the traveler, and the two beast-eared girls by your side with a vicious look. She then turned to Rean and said in a flattering tone, So Master, they just hit my face. Wont you take revenge for me?] [After a bout of drama that seemed like a joke, everything seemed to return to the starting point.] [Seeing this scene, you couldnt help but sigh, There has to be something hateful about a pitiful personthis old saying from Xia country really made sense.] [In the snowstorm, three men and one woman stood in the heavy snow, looking at you with malicious gazes.] [Traveler, you were puzzled. Living in the same Grey Stone Street, why were there people with such extremely different characters?] [Like Weier and Aina, who harbored goodwill towards others, and scumbags like Black Snake and Rean. The same environment, why nurture completely different characters?] [Note: Traveler, think about your own world, isnt this very normal?] Luo Xi pondered this. The unscrupulous text actually made a lot of sense this time. Reality is always more magical than novels. It doesnt need to make sense, especially since this Dream World is not a game in the true sense, it is also reality for those who live in it.] [The Minotaur Rean stepped closer, looking you up and down, showing his sharp canine teeth, Yo, some new faces, huh? New here?] [Leks facial hair bristled with anger as he roared, Rean, dont bother my customers. If you dont want to get hit, get lost!] [Rean scratched at his horns, smiling nonchalantly, Ive always been amiable towards Deep Alley Workshop. After all, I need to buy things from you guys. But havent they already come out of the store? Are they still your customers?] [And Lek, youd better hand over my good brother Rheas belongings first. Even if the Deep Alley Workshop is big and wealthy, you cant just steal someones wifes or husbands last possessions, right?] [Reans tone was full of provocation and mockery, making Leks forehead bulge with veins. He grabbed the iron ax behind the door and wanted to go forward and chop this bastard to pieces.] [Mr. Lek, keep calm, stay calm!] [Mr. Lek, no, you cant. Rean has connections within the city!] [In an instant, many employees from the store rushed up, holding back the furious Lek, whose face was beet red.] [Everyone nearby knew it would be easy to kill Rean, but he had a relative who was a guard in Winter City. If they came knocking on the door, Lek would definitely be in big trouble.] [Although Deep Alley Workshop also had some background within the city, as a mere front desk manager, Lek wouldnt be protected by the workshop if he caused trouble.] [After all, the whole Grey Stone Street was built by clinging to the walls of Winter City. If Winter City wanted to tear down this dirty and disordered area, it was only a matter of a high-ranking persons word. Basically, no one would want to offend officials from Winter City, even if it was just a lowly guard.] [Alright Lek, your family is still waiting for you to take care of them. Do you really dare to lay a hand on me? Rean said with a mocking smile, Since my maid Liselle has come to me for help, I cant just leave without doing anything. Otherwise, wouldnt that make me look bad?] [Who hit Liselle, come forward. Dont worry, it wont hurt too much when I do it, I might just break an arm at most.] [Traveler, you heard a commotion beside you, as many employees from the store ran back inside. They didnt want to get involved in this troublesome matter.] [Lek took a deep breath and said solemnly, Little Weier, you and Aina, along with this brother, hurry up and leave. Ill hold Rean back for you. The territory youre heading to is directly controlled by the Snake and Rat Meeting; this guy doesnt have the guts to go there and make trouble.] [Looks like it was you guys who hit Liselle after all. The Minotaur nodded, his gaze sweeping over Weier and sizing you up before commenting, That hat of yours is nice, but unfortunately, I dont like black and white. I prefer green.] [Traveler, your Anger Value +15] Luo Xi: [Ding! Talent: Same-sex Repulsion has been triggered, Reans favorability toward you -50] [Currently, Reans favorability toward you is -50 (Dislike)] [Liselle pointed at you and Weier, Master, it was him who hit me! And her! Right, that little wolf pup behind them is with them too!] [Hm? A wolf pup?] [Rean glanced behind you, causing Aina to quickly lower her head to hide behind you, even her big tail drooping between her legs.] [A Mutation Syndrome patient with Wolf genus factors I heard from my cousin that recently a high-ranking person in the city has been collecting such sensitive-nosed mutants as pets, offering a high price too.] [Listening to Rean and Liselles previous murmur that sounded eerily similar, Traveler, a nameless fury within your heart was suddenly ignited.] [Ding! Your Anger Value +50] [Traveler, you looked at the cat-eared girl beside you and calmly asked, Can I hit him?] [You can.] [Really, it wont cause trouble for you and Aina?] [Youre such a chatterbox.] [As Weiers voice fell, a graceful shadow flitted in front of you, and in the blink of an eye, arrived before the minotaur; the girl lifted her slender leg, jumped up on one foot, and kicked Reans horn with the other.] [Snap!] [The crisp sound of breaking rang out, and the massive horn was broken off, the powerful force causing the minotaur to be shoved back several meters, finally crashing down into the snowy ground.] [Weier landed gracefully on the ground, adjusted her snow-white strands of hair, and chuckled softly at you, Hes just a guard, not some high official in the city.] S~ea??h the ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Weier sister is so awesome! Aina clapped enthusiastically behind your back.] [Minotaur Rean stood up with the help of two subordinates, touching his broken horn in disbelief, You what have you done to me! Both of you attack, hold back this cat! Ill catch those two!] [Traveler, Rean seemed to realize that he was no match for Cat Cat, and after instructing his subordinates to keep Weier busy, he charged straight towards you.] [Lek took a step forward, wanting to stand in front of you, but you raised your hand to indicate there was no need.] [Traveler, you raised your fists, channeled all your strength, and swung a punch at the minotaur.] [Seeing your resistance, the opponent also raised a fist to attack you.] [Boom!] [Just when you thought you would enter a deadlock again, you discovered that Reans force was not even half as heavy as that of a black snakes punch.] [Your fist easily deflected his and blasted toward the minotaurs other horn.] [Under Reans horrified expression, you shattered his horn with a punch, breaking it even more thoroughly than the other half Weier kicked, including the base, and sent him flying out, with a spurt of blood spraying everywhere, causing him to roll on the snowy ground and howl in pain.] [Note: Sheer-Loving Loli-con Minotaur Warrior!] [Ding! Your Happiness Level +30] [Your Happiness Level +20] Huh? Sheer Minotaur is one thing, but what the hell is that in front!? Chapter 47 - 47 47 The Time of the Undercurrents_1 ?Chapter 47: Chapter 47: The Time of the Undercurrents_1 Chapter 47: Chapter 47: The Time of the Undercurrents_1 [Rean sat in the snow, pressing his hand against the gushing wound, looking at you with a face full of horror.] [Traveler, do you still want to throw another punch at this bastard?] [Lek shouted to you, Kid, stop hitting him. If you really kill him, thats going to be trouble. His cousin is just a guard, but behind him is Winter City!] [Weier nodded at you and said, Lets leave it at this for now.] [Traveler, upon hearing what the cat-eared girl said, you lowered your fist and calmed the rage in your heart.] [Wait, are you the guy who killed the Black Snake yesterday? Hearing Leks words, Rean, clutching his bleeding skull, stood up; he was truly terrified now.] [Liselle, holding the dark-skinned child in her arms, looked at the scene with fear creasing her previously haughty face: You, how dare youReans brother is] [Stupid woman, get lost! Dont let me see you again!] [The minotaur, clutching his head, didnt dare utter a threat, stumbling away with the support of his two companions. Liselle wanted to go forward but was frightened into immobility by a glare.] [Liselle turned back around, fear evident in her eyes.] [Somewhere along the line, amid the cold and the blizzard, the child in her arms could hardly even cry any longer.] [Liselle, considering you still have a child to take care of, I wont lay a hand on you.] [The cat-eared girl spoke indifferently, But there wont be a next time. You know whats going on in your home. When the big snow stops, someone will surely come to collect debts from you.] [The woman nodded as if pounding garlic, struggling to walk away through the snow with the child in her arms.] [You truly are the person who killed the Black Snake and still walked away unscathed.] [Lek praised you, then continued with a bitter smile: Not like us, timid as mice. Among those blackmailed by Rean, there were some stronger than him, but no one dared to fight back, all because he has a cousin whos a guard in Winter City.] [Endlessly yielding will only make these people more audacious.] [Weier stroked Little Aina, who had somehow snuck into her arms, and said with a smile: Aina, do you still want to go traveling? You know, the outside world is full of this kind of people.] [Aina nodded decisively: Yes! Aina still wants to travel! With Sister Weier and] S~ea??h the N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Little Lolita turned to glance at you and said: And with Brother Luo Xi, Aina wont be afraid!] [Traveler, your Happiness Level +10] Rean, supported by two of his subordinates, staggered back the way they had come. He had been lording it over Grey Stone Street for two years, and today was the first time he faced such a serious blow. He felt that he might die from too much blood loss at any moment. A surge of hatred made him desire revenge. But what could he do? Should he tell his cousin? Honestly, even if his cousin knew about his current plight, he probably wouldnt give him a second glance. After all, he wasnt dead yet, right? The last time the two saw each other was six months ago, and even then, his cousins eyes were full of disdain and impatience when looking at him. Not to mention now. In the vast snow, a middle-aged man stopped in the middle of the road and slowly took off his hat, looking towards the people ahead. When Rean saw someone blocking the way, he Growled, Get out of the way! Dont you know who I am? This child Weier is still too kind-hearted. The middle-aged man smiled and said, I am the Rat King of the Snake and Rat Meeting; I wonder if you have heard of the name. Rat King? Ha ha ha, if youre the Rat King, then Im damn the Snake King! Rean, despite his splitting headache, couldnt help but laugh at the middle-aged man who had suddenly appeared. It was as absurd as a stranger running out from the sidewalk claiming to be the mayor. Actually The middle-aged man smirked creepily, the long sword at his waist partially unsheathing itself. In an instant, with a humming sound, a gray-green edge swept through the air. Rean didnt catch what the middle-aged man said afterward. He felt his body becoming lighter and lighter, rising higher and higher until reaching the peak, and then falling mercilessly. Then, he saw three headless corpses in the snow, gushing blood. They seemed oddly familiar The middle-aged man put his hat back on his head, his lips wearing a gentle smile. Before everything comes to an end, in order to prevent accidents, its best if you die first. In the storm, three headless bodies lay in the snow. The blood spouting from their necks should have stained the snow red, but a surge of gray veins rose up, rapidly enveloping all the bodies and turning them to ashes within seconds. That guy is still so lively It seems Little Weier saved him with the scroll Liya left, shouldve just cleanly taken care of it, its all your fault for wanting to torture him. Heh, isnt that your problem? Fine fine fine, lets leave it at that. Still, how should we deal with that guy? The Rat King pondered for a moment. Forget it, theres no need to deal with it, a mere Tier zero Mutated Transcendent is not worth him acting twice. Under the rolling tide of events, all that lay ahead will turn to dust. When the time comes, the young man who dares defy him will naturally face the ending he deserves. The Rat King, bathed in the wind and snow, turned and vanished into the alleys. . . Chu Tianwen lay on the bed, occasionally tapping the phone screen. He had finished roaming Grey Stone Street, the Beast Eared Girl was asleep, so it should be about time to check out Winter City. He could always come back next time to exchange information with that damn Loli-con. [Traveler, you decide to leave Grey Stone Street and head towards Winter City.] [As you left through a vertical alley, you happened to see several people in black robes sneaking into a narrow lane. Do you follow them?] Hmm? Chu Tianwen frowned. But his excitement quickly burgeoned. This smelled like a quest! It seemed like something interesting was about to happen! [Yes] [Traveler, you glanced around to make sure no one was watching and then squeezed into the alley, following them.] [At the end of the alley, you saw a person in a black robe entering a door about half a meter tall.] [You quietly approached, holding your breath to listen to the voices inside.] [You heard words like greatness and truth from inside.] [Whos the rat that dares eavesdrop?] [Suddenly, a chilling voice sounded from behind you.] [Traveler, you turned around to see a person in a black robe standing behind you, raising a staff and throwing a black orb towards you.] [Traveler, you died.] Chapter 48 - 48 48 Do You Want to See What a Cat-eared Girl ?Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Do You Want to See What a Cat-eared Girl Looks Like When She Sleeps? _1 Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Do You Want to See What a Cat-eared Girl Looks Like When She Sleeps? _1 [Traveler, do you wish to resurrect?] Chu Tianwen said nothing. [Yes] [You have been resurrected at the previous event node] [You are standing outside of an alley] [Ding! Youve triggered a special quest: The Secret Scheme of an Unknown Organization] [Description: An unknown organization is plotting something on Grey Stone Street. You may choose to leave this place ahead of time, or return to Grey Stone Street to inform the residents/enter Winter City to inform the guards.] Leave Winter City ahead of time? Impossible. The quest must be completed. The residents of Grey Stone Street are all commoners; telling them wouldnt do any good. Its better to directly go to Winter City and inform the guards. Maybe there will be some benefit in it. [Traveler, you have chosen to enter Winter City and inform the guards] [You have arrived at the city gate, where a guard charged you ten copper coins as an entry fee, conducted a blood test, and issued you a pass] [You informed them about the incident you encountered on Grey Stone Street, but they scoffed at what you said] [An unknown organization from Grey Stone Street? How many knightly orders do they have?] [A few guards laughed heartily, looking at you with utter scorn. In their eyes, you were nothing but a rustic yokel from some remote backwaters, completely unaware of how powerful Winter City was.] Fxxk! Chu Tianwen slammed his phone onto the bed. These guards, looking down on him, not only did they disbelieve him, they even mocked him ruthlessly. If he had known this would happen, he might as well have gone to warn those beast-eared older sisters on Grey Stone Street. But now that he had already entered, he might as well casually stroll around the city for a bit. /// [Traveler, after half an hour of warming up the equipment, Lek took out three warm stones from the device and placed them on the counter.] [Weier looked at you unkindly and said, Youd better not let the warm stones get cold again, or youll be responsible for the consequences.] [Traveler, you asked curiously, What consequences?] [Figure it out yourself. The cat-eared girl turned her head away with a cold huff.] [Aina yawned, her voice soft as she said, Alright, alright, the snow is heavier than before, and the warm stones have been heated up. We should hurry home and take a nap.] [Lek, at the front desk, smiled and said, We welcome you to visit us again.] [Traveler, you picked up a warm stone and followed Weier and the others back to the place they called home, sinking half a meter deep into the snow with every step.] [Would you like to accelerate your progress?] [Yes] X10 [Traveler, you have returned home. Weier and Aina seemed a bit tired, each hugging a warm stone before retreating to their own bedrooms, leaving you alone in the living room.] [You sat alone on the sofa.] [Leaving a stranger in the house without any supervision, had these two girls come to trust you so implicitly without realizing it?] [Indeed, Weier had mentioned before that if anything happened to her, she would entrust Aina to you.] [Note: Garbage traveler, youre not thinking of something weird, are you?] Of course not! [Traveler, you couldnt help feeling that you might genuinely have a talent for attracting the favor of young girls.] [Note: Please add young before girls.] Luo Xi: (ب#)!~ Enough with this lousy text! [Traveler, now that the two beast-eared girls have entered their bedroom, youre left alone, feeling somewhat bored.] [Outside, the wind and snowstorm are intensifying, and you can even hear the windows rattling violently.] [Traveler, would you like to rest for a period of time?] [Yes] Luo Xi yawned as well. After playing the game for so long, he felt his spirit was somewhat fatigued. Bang, bang, bang! Knocking echoed from outside the dormitory door. Luo Xi made sure the hat on his head was still properly in place, got up from his stool, and went to open the door. The visitor was a classmate from the dormitory across the hall, surnamed Zhang, named Jing, the classs Youth League secretary, dressed in luxurious brand-name clothes, his hair dyed yellow. Zhang Jing looked at Luo Xi and chuckled, I heard from Chen Yao that you came back yesterday. How come you didnt come by to say hello? Its kind of dull, man. Todays my birthday, so Im treating everyone to dinner tonight, then were hitting the KTV to sing and drink. You coming? If the big dogs treating, of course I want to come. Luo Xi sighed and said, But my stomachs acting up again. I was even dragged to the hospital by Wang Yuanjie yesterday. I probably cant handle a big meal. No worries, Ill order you a nourishing porridge to settle your stomach. Zhang Jing laughed, You can sing whatever you want at the KTV, and if you lose at the drinking games, you dont have to drink. Im being this considerate, youve got to show me some face, man. After pondering for a moment, Luo Xi replied, Alright then. He got along well with the male classmates in his major, and since it was a kind gesture to invite him for a birthday meal, dropping by wouldnt hurt. Hey, thats the spirit! You know, you really play your cards close to your chest! Zhang Jing gave Luo Xi a thumbs-up and praised, Those photos of you yesterday blew up outside the campus walls. I heard lots of girls from other schools are using them to dig up your info. You looked absolutely ethereal in those shots, but now, looking at you Fxxk, when did you get so handsome? Huh? Your face hasnt changed much, but somehow you look better than beforemakes me kind of want to punch you weird. Zhang Jing suspiciously said, Luo Xi, you havent been pretending to work part-time, only to go off to our neighboring Tou Country for cosmetic surgery these past months, have you? Which clinic can even improve someones aura like that? With a twitch at the corner of his mouth, Luo Xi returned two words, Guess? After Zhang Jing left, Luo Xi climbed into bed and reopened Dawn. He had only been playing for a few days, but he already felt like he couldnt stay away from the game, itching to check it every few minutes.

[Traveler, youve only slept for ten minutesare you sure you wouldnt like to rest a bit more?] Rest my hammer. At my age, how could I possibly sleep at this hour? Better get up pronto. [Traveler, under the drive of your will, you climb out from the blankets.] [The two beast-eared girls are still sleeping next door, making no sound whatsoever.] [Note: Traveler, are you moved? Then take action!] Ignoring the tempting garbage text, Luo Xi continued to tap on the screen. But what to do now? With the snow coming down heavy outside, it wasnt really an option to go out. [Traveler, you notice the several books laid out on the living room table by Aina.] [A spark ignites in your mindyou could try reading the books of this world to learn some usable knowledge.] [Ding! Traveler, youve triggered the basic quest: Acquisition of Knowledge (I).] [Description: Start with the most basic grammar and characters to learn the knowledge and language of this world.] [Reward: The knowledge and language you learn will be synchronized to the physical body of the traveler in your own otherworld.] [Would you like to read the books?] [Yes] [Would you like to accelerate the process?] [Yes] x30. Have to say, the acceleration function of this game can be pretty handy at times. Luo Xi narrowed his eyes. Though he couldnt tell how many minutes had passed in his perception, his phone suddenly vibrated, and the acceleration abruptly stopped. [Squeak] [Traveler, you hear the sound of the door being gently pushed open.] Luo Xi suddenly perked up. Was she about to wake up? [Traveler, you turn around and see Aina tiptoeing out from the bedroom, barefoot with her fair little toes, holding her voluminous tail in her arms to prevent any noise.] [So cute!] [Ding! Your happiness level +20.] [Traveler, just as youre about to speak, Aina makes a shushing gesture: Shhh! Brother Luo Xi, Weier sister is still sleeping. Lets not wake her up.] [Traveler, you look through the opened door and seem to see a petite snowy figure lying on the bed, curled up into a ball.] [Aina blinks and whispers, Brother Luo Xi, do you want to see what sister looks like when shes asleep?] [Note: Look, look, look, you piece of garbage traveler, thats a sleeping Cat Cat!] Chapter 49 - 49 49 Aina didnt lie either_1 ?Chapter 49: Chapter 49 Aina didnt lie either_1 Chapter 49: Chapter 49 Aina didnt lie either_1 [Traveler, youre thinking to yourself, Im just going to take a quick look and nothing more; there shouldnt be any problems, right?] [Aina tiptoes up behind you, gives you a gentle push, and in a mischievous tone whispers, Sister Weier is quite funny when shes asleep, and once shes deep in slumber, nothing can wake her up. You can be a bit bolder, Brother Luo Xi~] [Traveler, you allowed yourself to be half pushed, half persuaded into their bedroom by the Little Wolf Girl] [The bedroom you enter is indeed the same one you saw before, but now, theres only Weier lying on her side on the big bed] [The Cat-eared Girl curls up like a newly born kitten, her light and snowy white tail extending from beneath the blanket, coiling several times around her slender arm, with the tip grasped in her hand while her petite cat ears occasionally flicker lightly] [Ding! Your Happiness Level +20] [Note: Traveler, now is your chance to pet the Cat-eared Girl! Hurry up and give her a pat] [You take a look around the bedroom] [Apart from the bed and wardrobe carelessly strewn with the dresses of the two girls, the room is actually quite simple] Luo Xi couldnt help thinking that since their mothers departure, these three years had passed with just the two girls here, depending only on each other. [Traveler, your emotional state is slightly fluctuating] [It really is quite moving] [Traveler, you take a deep breath and suppress the rising thought] [Sneaking touches on someones ears and tail C forget it. Although you really do want to pet this Cat Cat, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Theres no need to be so impatient, right?] [Note: Traveler, it seems you really do have your principles, huh? But dont you feel its a pity?] Luo Xi smiled to himself. Why feel pity? Its just my subconscious. [Traveler, you turn your head and see through the crack in the door Ainas tea gold eyes curiously peeking inside] [You suddenly think, while the Cat Lady might not be easy to pet, theres still the Little Wolf Girl] [Note: Indeed, its just like you, dubious traveler!] After Luo Xi left, the Cat-eared Girl on the bed suddenly turned over, and the cat tail she had been clutching in her hand slowly loosened. Weier opens her eyes with a bit of struggle and turns to look at the now closed door, whispering to herself in a volume only she can hear, What a strange guy Her behavior suggested that she really wanted her ears and tail to be touched, but when such a good opportunity presented itself, he could be completely unmoved. Are there really such weirdly principled people in this world? However, she doesnt dislike such a person. The Cat-eared Girl turns over again, a faint smile playing at her lips. Theres still some time before dinner, so shell take a little nap. Wait, isnt he in the living room with Aina now, just the two of them?! [Ding! Weiers Favorability towards you +20] [Current Favorability of Weier towards you is: 107 (A Weird Guy Who Can Be Trusted)] [Description: She thinks you might be a bit abnormal, but she finds you to be trustworthy] Luo Xi: Well then, it seems the Cat Lady was not really asleep after all, just lying in wait to fish him in. Why does every Beast Eared Girl in this family have a hint of slyness? [Note: Traveler, didnt you guess it all along?] [After leaving the room, you see Aina with her hands on her hips, staring at you with tea gold eyes and a look of youre so disappointing, like a teacher ready to lecture a naughty student] [However, the fluffy Big Tail wiggling behind the Little Lolita dissipates the intimidating aura she attempts to create] [Note: With all her cuteness, this Little Wolf Girl, even if lecturing, will likely have you all ears, right, garbage traveler?] S~ea??h the Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The word garbage is unnecessary. [Aina lowers her voice, frustrated as if scolding an underperforming student, and says, Brother Luo Xi, how could you just look a few times? I read in a book that many wonderful romances start when the male and female protagonists sleep together by chance, and then they end up together. It was a great opportunity!] [Traveler, your Shock Value +20] Luo Xi: Are the story plots in this Dream World always this dramatic? [Traveler, you feel the need to correct the Little Lolitas misconception] [Note: Perverted Traveler, with the Little Wolf Girls Favorability so high, shes practically ready to be your sister-in-law] [Hmm? Isnt that a good thing?] [Note: ] Luo Xi: emmmm [Traveler, you gently walk to the sofa, point to the spot opposite you, and motion for Aina to sit there] [Aina blinks and sits beside you without a second thought, her expression calm and poised, but Wolf Ears sticking up on her head betray her inner turmoil] [Traveler, you softly ask, Why are you always thinking about pushing your sister out?] [Ever since your Favorability with this child reached a new Tier, she seems to be constantly scheming to pair you with the Cat Lady, at least several times both openly and covertly] [Ive never pushed Sister out!] [Aina defends herself in a low voice, avoiding your gaze as she shifts her eyes away in a bit of a panic] [Then Aina, head lowered, says, Sister has been lonely all these years, taking care of Aina alone, without a close friend to talk to. I thought Sister is also at the age to find someone she likes, to spend her future days with, and that seems rather nice.] [So thats how it is] [This Little Wolf Girl is sensible enough to tug at your heartstrings] [But Aina hasnt been lying either.] [Aina suddenly looks up with those sparkling tea gold eyes at you, the traveler] [If Sister Weier truly doesnt want you, Brother Luo Xi, then Aina can have you because I dont dislike your scent.] [After these words, Aina turns her head away shyly, her cheek tinged with a light blush, reminiscent of an alluring red apple, Wolf Ears perked up even straighter] [Traveler, your brain experiences a momentary freeze] [Ding! Your Happiness Level +20] [Your Happiness Level +10] [Note: Traveler, there you have it, just take this Little Wolf away and the Cat Cat Little Ou will surely follow. Your plan to lead away two Beast Eared Girls is about to succeed!] Shut up, you unscrupulous text! Chapter 50 - 50 50 Beware of Perverts Cat Cat~_1 ?Chapter 50: Chapter 50 Beware of Perverts, Cat Cat~_1 Chapter 50: Chapter 50 Beware of Perverts, Cat Cat~_1 [Traveler, as you gaze upon the bashful demeanor of the Little Wolf Girl, her slightly furrowing wolf ears atop her head, and her soft, large tail, you find it hard to suppress that yearning in your heart to pet that fluffy fur.] [Note: One cannot have both cat ears and wolf ears; you must forsake the cat ears to touch the wolf ears.] Luo Xi ignored the texts commentary. Sar?h the n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Wait, what time is it now? Luo Xi pulled out his phone to check the time on the taskbar. It was exactly four-thirty in the afternoon. It seemed that the study task just now took him almost two hours. There was roughly two to three hours left before the cooldown of his Talent and Dreamland synchronization module. Truthfully, who wouldnt want to pet a cute Beast Eared Girl, but without truly being able to experience it, that desire just faded away. Its better to take this time to study more, to master the language and script of the Dream world. That way, he could understand the books and materials brought over from there in this world too. [Squeak] [Traveler, the bedroom door has been pushed open.] [You feel a murderous gaze fixing on you.] [Aina, startled, looks up and says, Sister, when did you wake up?] [Just now.] [Weier frowned and sized you both up for a while. When she saw Aina sitting by your side, her slender eyebrows noticeably twitched.] [Note: Traveler, its a good thing you managed to control your bestial thoughts again, or elsetsk tsk.] Damn, isnt it always you, this unscrupulous text, thats been tempting me? Whos got bestial thoughts, huh! Besides, even if I were to pet Aina, it would just be her ears and tail, nothing terribly bad cough. [Weier narrowed her eyes at you, You, did you do something weird to Aina again?] [Note: That again is quite telling.] [Traveler, upon hearing Cat Cats suspicion, you immediately sit up straight on the sofa and say, Please dont slander my noble character. You can ask Aina if I did anything to her just now.] [The Cat-eared Girl looked towards her younger sister.] [Aina shook her head, but the Little Lolita seemed to recall her bold words to you just now, as a pretty blush crawled up her delicate, adorable face once more.] [Cat Cat immediately grew furious, What did you do to Aina just now, you pervert?] [Ding! Weiers Alertness Value +10] [Note: Cat Cat has taken note. In the future, not only must she guard against fire and theft, but also against Loli-cons!] Luo Xi: They cant see anyway, so who are you saying this broken text for? [Traveler, you choose to give up explaining. You lie down on the sofa. Many times, explanations are meaningless; its more satisfying to just lie down.] [Weier looked at you, her expression changing from angry to helpless, You weirdo, I dont even know if I should trust you completely anymore.] [Aina laughs beside you, Anyway, Aina trusts Brother Luo Xi, and Weier sister, you shouldnt say one thing and feel another. Youve even given Brother Luo Xi the scrolls that mother left behind, which are most precious. How can you not trust him?] [Ding! Your Happiness Level +10] [Weier huffed, Who asked this guy to be so strange in his actions and preferences.] [Aina held her small face, laughing joyously, Sister is always right.] [Traveler, you pretend not to hear their conversation and pick up a book to read once again.] [In this kind of chilling atmosphere, only books filled with knowledge can provide you comfort and warmth.] [It is estimated that after studying for 36 hours, you will complete the organizing and learning of the universal written language of the Dream world.] Luo Xi was taken aback. 36 hours? Thats slow. [Note: Proud Traveler, consider how long it takes to learn a foreign language normally. How dare you say learning a language in two days is slow (pը)!!!] Luo Xi: . Truth be told, in most games, all sorts of skill books and secret methods are learned with a single mouse click; theres no waiting for days on end. This realization made Luo Xi even more acutely aware that beyond the screen of this text-based game, there exists a real world. [Friendly Reminder: Traveler, it is a fine virtue to ask when you dont understand. Let the people of the Dream world assist you with your studies to accelerate your learning and comprehension.] [Traveler, you turn to Aina and ask, Aina, you recognize the characters in the book, dont you?] [Yes, of course I recognize them, mommy taught me before. Aina nodded, puzzled, Brother Luo Xi, are there words you dont know?] [There are, plenty of them. Can you teach me? you ask.] [Of course. The Little Lolita readily agreed.] [Wait, what? Aina is going to teach you how to read?] [The cat-eared girl muttered in confusion, You pervert, arent you going to come up with some weird tricks again?] [Note: Perverted Traveler, your suspicious actions have been seen through by the clever Cat Cat at a glance!] [Traveler, you claimed innocently, I genuinely cant recognize all these characters.] [Weier looked at you with suspicion and said, Well, I could teach you too, just ask me if theres anything you dont recognize.] [Okay.] [Aina wants to join too!] [Traveler, right now your only desire is to learn, so it doesnt matter to you which Lolita teaches youbig or small, theyre all fine.] [You are currently studying] About two and a half hours later. Weier felt like she was going insane. She had thought this guy was trying to pull off some strange stunt under the guise of learning to read, but once he picked up the book, he seriously began to learn, starting with the basic structure of language and characters. This even reminded Weier of the days when her mother taught her and Aina how to read together. /// [Traveler, Weier tells you that its getting late, and she needs to cook dinner, so the task of teaching you has been handed over to Aina] [Aina is still happily helping you with corrections and reading] [The task is expected to be completed in 15 hours] [You are currently studying] Luo Xi nodded in satisfaction. Having a little Lolita, no, a local from the Dream world to assist in studying indeed accelerated the learning process. He checked the time. It was half-past six. Thump thump!the dormitory door was knocked at just the right moment. Luo Xi, time to eat! Coming! Luo Xi straightened his clothes, pressed his hat firmly on his head, grabbed his phone, and walked out. After all, he was just going to freeload a meal. Zhang Jing had also said there was no need for gifts; everyone was welcome to come as they were. When he reached the ground floor of the dormitory, seven or eight boys were already waiting downstairs, all of them his classmates preparing for postgraduate exams or government jobs at university. Upon seeing Luo Xi, someone joked about that set of Luo Xis photos, but it was quickly glossed over, as today was Zhang Jings birthday. Luo Xis hat-wearing attire didnt catch their attention either, as there were quite a few others who liked wearing hats. After confirming everyone had arrived, Zhang Jing led the group out of the school gates toward the commercial street nearby. Along the way, the guys were chatting and laughing. Luo Xi occasionally joined in with a joke or two and then checked his phone with a couple of taps. A classmate laughed, Luo Xi, have you ever considered becoming an actor? Youd have a bright future. I cant act, Luo Xi shrugged. Zhang Jing laughed, Doesnt matter, actors in homo movies dont need acting skills. Fxxk off! Luo Xi cursed with a laugh, while glancing at his phone, eager to check on his study progress. A line of text scrolled across the screen. [Talent: Many Misfortunes has been triggered] Luo Xi frowned. What the hell? His character hadnt done anything, just been reading and studying, and still triggered this damned talent? Zi A sound seemed to emit from behind, and Zhang Jing, who was at the very back, turned his head and let out a cry of alarm. A sedan, seemingly out of control or something, had ploughed straight through the green belt at the rear and was hurtling towards them. Damn! Get out of the way! Chapter 51 - 51 51 Would You Believe Me If I Said I Practice ?Chapter 51: Chapter 51: Would You Believe Me If I Said I Practice a Lost Martial Art?_1 Chapter 51: Chapter 51: Would You Believe Me If I Said I Practice a Lost Martial Art?_1 Zhang Jings warning was timely, but it was still too late. In many traffic accidents, pedestrians usually dont realize a car is bearing down on them until the very last moment. So when that car crossed over the green belt and headed towards them, Zhang Jings shout to dodge came too latehis words had barely finished when the car was just a few meters away from him. In the nick of time, someone appeared in front of them and kicked towards the approaching car. However, against machinery, human strength is akin to using ones arm to block a vehicle Bang! Under the shocked gazes of the onlookers, the car that was about to hit them was abruptly brought to a halt by that kick, making its rear end lift high into the air. Even when that person put their foot down, there was a large dent in the front end of the cars bumper. Everyone was stunned by the scene. It took over ten seconds for someone to recover from the shock and exclaim: Damn! Luo Xi, which deity are you descended from? Luo the Immortal saved my dog life today, from now on Im your person! Even the driver inside the sedan was in shock, a look of utter bewilderment plastered across his drunken face. Where am I? Who am I? What just happened? Oh, I must not have sobered up yet. Wang Yuanjie and Chen Yao came over, worried, and asked, Luo Xi, hows your leg? Are you alright? Luo Xi shook his head; he lightly hopped twice to feel out his shin. Broken bones were unlikely, but bruising was certain. No big deal. Luckily the car wasnt moving very fast, around fifty miles per hour. With his current strength of 26 points, he had managed to forcefully stop a small car in motion with a full-strength kick. Of course, even with the car not being very fast, the impact force must have been at least a ton. If it had been a dozens of tons heavier dump truck coming at him, or if it had been moving a bit faster, he probably wouldnt have had such an easy time. He would likely have been sent reincarnating along with his classmates, after all, in the formula for kinetic energy, velocity is squared. As more people arrived at the scene, some nearby shop owners noticed the commotion and checked their storefront security cameras. When they saw from the footage the college student stopping the car with a single kick, everyones expression turned blank. Is this guy even human? This was a moving car, not some bicycle. In a classically-styled office, a blonde woman watched with interest a video someone had uploaded online. Picking up her phone, she called her superior. Teamleader Zhang, Ive discovered another Dreamland Traveler. Where is this person from? A senior from Haicheng University. Have they obtained any remarkable talent or ability? Its not clear yet, but judging from the video, it seems to be strength-related. He stopped a BMW traveling around fifty miles per hour with one kick. Well, that sounds pretty ordinary. Should we recruit him? No need for now. The second internal beta test is in two weeks, and there will be more slots available. Going forward well see an increasing number of players like him, but we cant take everyone into the team. Were looking for potential, for people with good character and morals to join the team, and these are things that take time to evaluate. Remember, wed rather have a vacancy than an unfit person. Of course, you need to remind him to not do anything harmful to society. Send him a few case videos to watch, and a clever person will understand on their own. Got it, Teamleader Zhang. . After the accident, emergency vehicles and police arrived quickly. As for the drunk driver, because of the sudden stop, they suffered multiple soft tissue injuries and were taken away in an ambulance. Li Changzhi was a rookie cop who had just started on the job. Because he was closest to the scene, he was the first to arrive. He too watched the surveillance video from a nearby shop with a baffled look. Eventually, he found Luo Xi and asked, Student, can you explain how you managed to stop that car? After thinking for a moment, Luo Xi replied, I learned this when I was a child from my grandpa. He said its the Invincible Leg of the Great Herculean King, a technique lost for eight hundred years, capable of splitting mountains and rocks, let alone stopping a small car. Li Changzhi: I dont believe you for a second. But this kick was already so extraordinary, it seemed it could only be explained by martial arts? Ring ring ring Li Changzhi apologized to Luo Xi and picked up a phone call. After a while, he looked at Luo Xi: Student, you are free to go now. Huh? Luo Xi was perplexed. This doesnt make sense, why would they just let him go? Ah, wait a moment. Li Changzhi handed him the phone, saying, Someone wants to talk to you. Luo Xi took the phone and took a deep breath: Hello. Luo Xi, hello, dont be nervous. A gentle female voice laughed, Were aware of what you might have encountered recently. In fact, ever since you searched for Dawn online, our big data tracking caught you. .. A thought struck Luo Xi, and he asked, Then why just let me go like this? Because you might find that more and more people around you will be similar to you. We cant control everyone. Of course, if you commit a crime, we will apprehend you immediately. The woman laughed, Youre still a college student who hasnt stepped into society yet, so the most important thing for you right now is to prepare for graduation. You might also need to cooperate with an email survey we send out, just register some basic details and thats all. Luo Xi pondered and asked, So this first internal beta test is just the beginning? Will there be more people qualifying for the game, obtaining strength from it? You could say that. Well, thats it for now. Hope you enjoy your time in that world. Wait, what exactly do you know about this game? I cant tell you because I dont know either. The woman replied. Fine. How should I explain that kick to my classmates? Thats your problem. You neednt worry about whats being said online. Before Dawn is fully launched, you wont find any information related to it on the internet. When is the games public beta? I cant tell you that. Is this the first internal beta test? I cant tell you, but I can inform you that the next internal beta is in two weeks with more spots available. Luo Xi: Half a conversation, what an annoying puzzle master. Beep The woman had hung up the phone. Luo Xi turned to look at his classmates huddled together nearby, feeling somewhat lost. Where exactly is this world heading? C C (ps. Learning from the lessons of my last book, the protagonist in this book will not join any organizations or anything like that, and this wont be a simulating text, nor an invincible rampage textits more like an Otherworld text dressed in a literary game setting, with a high proportion of daily life. Also, some readers say the author is tough on the protagonist Huh? Where did I do that?) Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. By the way, arent the readers who pick up this book here to see Little Lolita?) Chapter 52 - 52 52 Beast Ears are a Source of Happiness _1 ?Chapter 52: Chapter 52: Beast Ears are a Source of Happiness! _1 Chapter 52: Chapter 52: Beast Ears are a Source of Happiness! _1 Dafang Traditional Restaurant. After Officer Li Changzhi let them go, a group of university students, still shaken, didnt choose to head back to school but continued with the original plan to go to the restaurant, since they hadnt had dinner yet. The class president, Zhang Jing, also said that having escaped disaster, they must be fortunate, and since tomorrow and accidents are unpredictable, its important to enjoy the moment. He planned to order the most expensive dishes today and drink the priciest alcohol in the restaurant. Brothers, dont save money for me! Lets eat our fill! Feast to our hearts content! Hey, no need for you to say it, Elder Zhang, we big eaters never go easy on food. Thats good. Zhang Jing then turned to the person wearing a hat beside him and smiled, Luo Xi, your nourishing porridge will be ready soon, just wait a bit. Everyone turned to look at Luo Xi, who seemed to be daydreaming in a corner. Some had wanted to take Luo Xi to the hospital to see if he was injured, but he declined. Wang Yuanjie attempted to probe, Little mule, do you really know martial arts? Luo Xi silently nodded. Lets assume he knows martial arts, then. Anyway, after Dawn goes into public beta, these people will naturally find out the truth. Saying it now is more trouble than its worth. Zhang Jings eyes lit up. Can you teach me? Its a family martial art, not to be taught to outsiders. Youre my dad! Luo Xi: My goodness, he had forgotten these guys had no scruples, having lost all their inhibitions in their four years of close association. It was common for them to call each other son and dad. Its not that I dont want to teach you. Luo Xi shook his head. Only one in ten thousand martial arts prodigies can learn my skills. Actually, with a little calculation, its truetheres about one player among seventy or eighty thousand people. Its indeed one in ten thousand. Wang Yuanjie asked curiously, Since youre so skilled in martial arts, why have you never shown it these past few years? A girl said, You dont understand, do you? His is real kung fu, not the comedic Mr. Mas Lightning Five Whiplashes. Of course, he cant just reveal it recklessly. Indeed. Everyone nodded in agreement. Luo Xi felt a little melancholy on the inside. Whenever he had money, he would continue living separately. Otherwise, being constantly questioned about whether he knew kung fu or not would be troublesome. He also needed to find a way to get rid of the bad talents he possessed. Once the food was served, the students shifted their topic away from him, branching off into various areas. However, with girls present, the boys toned down the conversation quite a bit. But eventually, they turned to the topic of love. A girl probed casually, By the way, Luo Xi, do you have a girlfriend now? No. Then have you thought about finding a girl Luo Xi interrupted, Not at the moment. Chen Yao laughed loudly, Lu Yi, dont even think about stealing our little mule. If he wanted a girlfriend, hed already be taken, not waiting for you. If it hadnt been for his lack of weird behavior over the years, Id suspect hes got his eye on mine and Elder Wangs chrysanthemums. Lu Yi glared at Chen Yao, took a few bites of her food to hide her embarrassment. Zhang Jing joked, So, Luo Xi, exactly what type of girl do you like? Ive heard from Chen Yao that youve turned down a pretty girl many times. Luo Xi casually said, I like the beast eared type. Old otaku, huh? A guy commented, Do you also need to add the Lolita attribute? Because I like that too, preferably a legal Lolita with fox ears, white hair, and red eyes, 148 centimeters tall, like the Little Fox Demon in Everyday Life After Picking up a Little Fox Demon that Ive been reading recently. Chen Yao gulped down a can of beer, looked up, and said with a laugh, You guys had better come back to reality. Theres no such creature as a beast eared Lolita in the real world. Sure, those attributes exist separately, but if youre just after the beast ear attribute, then youd be a sad emperor, and if its just the Lolita attribute At least three years locked up, and the nearby precinct will welcome you! Everyone burst into laughter. Luo Xi laughed along with them. There might not be any in reality, but what about in games? After the meal, Luo Xi said he was a bit tired, so he headed back to the dorm on his own, not joining the others for karaoke at the KTV. Zhang Jing didnt insist on keeping him, maybe he really was tired. Having returned to the dorm and showered, Luo Xi lay on his bed, sprawled like a salted fish, and turned on his phone. Its past nine oclock already. The time has come! [Traveler, with the assistance of Aina in your studies, you have fully grasped the basics of the Dream worlds universal language script] [It is estimated that you will complete this mission in 10 hours] [Traveler, Ainas face is filled with fatigue and grievance, do you want to comfort her?] Huh? Why would Little Wolf Girl feel aggrieved? He tapped the cloud-like symbol at the top of his phone screen. [The synchronisation module for the Dreamland has finished cooling down] That golden ability should be usable now too, right? However, Luo Xi wasnt considering using that ability just now. The effects of Immersion, rather than genuinely feeling that world, the most important thing was to consume various emotional attributes to grant him powerful attribute boosts inside the Dream world. For instance, the horrifying attribute boosts under the murderous intent mode had at least multiplied his combat strength by several times. Come to think of it, how much has his Happiness Level accumulated by now? Luo Xi clicked into his character attribute module to take a look. [Happiness Level: 630] Luo Xi: (o??)o!!! How did the Happiness Level amass so much without me noticing? [Note: Perverted, suspicious Traveler, what else could it be, the Lolita with beast ears is your source of happiness!] Luo Xi: I didnt see that. He remembered that each 100 points of Happiness Level could provide a 10% boost in Strength and 10% resistance to spirit-based Skills, but he didnt know how much of it could be consumed at once. For example, saving up to 10,000 points and using it all in one go, wouldnt that amplify it by ten times? Isnt that much better than the crazed, abnormal feeling under the murderous intent state? [Warm Reminder: Given your current level of ability, Traveler, you can consume up to a maximum of 1,000 points of any single emotional value reserve at a time] Ah, pretend I didnt say that. But besides the Happiness Level, [Anger Value: 156], this should also be usable to trigger the golden ability, right? Just not sure what kind of boosts it would give. [Do you wish to use the Dreamland synchronisation module?] [Yes] Hehehe~ Little Aina, let Big Brother have a look [Traveler, welcome to the journey of dreams~] /// Aina looked up with a pitiful expression at Luo Xi, who was still immersed in reading. Brother Luo Xi seemed to be possessed ever since he picked up the book in the afternoon, constantly flipping through the pages and asking her and her sister questions. At first, Aina thought it was somewhat fun, but as time went on, it became less and less interesting. Sear?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Suddenly, Aina felt that there was a change in the young mans aura in front of her, as if something had awakened within him. Aina called out with confusion, Brother Luo Xi? Aina? the young man asked back. Yes, Aina is right here. Aina raised her little hand. Where is your sister? Shes in the little room underground, looking for cases about people suddenly becoming crazed. Ah Luo Xi pondered. So that means, in the living room right now, theres only the Little Wolf Girl left, huh. Aina. Aina is here! Let Brother pet your ears and tail. Okay! Huh? [Note: Perverted, dubious Loli-con Traveler, after resisting your desires for a long time, have you finally come to this world personally, to lay your vile hands on the cute and fragile Little Wolf Girl?] Chapter 53 - 53 53 The Sinful Traveler Finally Makes a Move ?Chapter 53: Chapter 53: The Sinful Traveler Finally Makes a Move on the Little Wolf Girl_1 Chapter 53: Chapter 53: The Sinful Traveler Finally Makes a Move on the Little Wolf Girl_1 Luo Xi ignored the texts mockery. He took a moment to observe the living room he was currently in. The decor and interior style gave him the impression of an old residential area from the seventies or eighties. Brother Luo Xi, youve finally changed back, Aina said, patting her flat chest and letting out a sigh of relief. I was afraid you went crazy from reading too much, but thank goodness, it looks like youre still normal, still wanting to pet Aina. Luo Xi: Could you please complete those last three words? Dont make him sound so criminal! In the eyes of this Lil Wolf Girl, what exactly did a normal him look like? Taking a deep breath, Aina slowly turned on the sofa, bringing her tail from behind her towards Luo Xi. [Ding! Your Happiness Level +10] [Note: Garbage Traveler, before petting the Lil Wolf Girl, dont forget to take off your hat first. It would be bad if its too hot for her.] Luo Xi: (???)~ Sometimes this text does help, huh. The big fluffy tail sticking out from under Ainas clothes looked like a trap set to capture his gaze. Aina said, lowering her head shyly, Um, Brother Luo Xi, could you hurry up a bit? If Weier sees us later, shell scold you again. [Ding! Your Happiness Level +30] Such an adorable Lil Wolf Girl, not afraid of being eaten by a weird uncle. Wait, isnt he that weird uncle? Luo Xi suddenly fell into deep thought. Forget it, who cares, lets just pet her a couple of times first. Luo Xi removed his hat. The heat flowing through him quickly dissipated, and then he reached out towards the fluffy big tail. He gently held it with both hands. Soft, warm, furry Hehehe~(ꡥ*). [Ding! Your Happiness Level +50] [Note: Traveler, do you not have even a shred of shame?] There is some, but under the Beast Eared Girls fluffy big tail, that so-called shame hardly registers! Aina placed her hands crossed on her thighs, her fingers nervously intertwining at first. However, after Luo Xi petted her tail for a while, the Little Lolita couldnt help but giggle hehehe. Ah, its really ticklish, Brother Luo Xi That should be enough, right Squeak A faint noise as the bedroom door on the left opened. Weier looked at the scene in the living room in shock. What was her dumb little sister and this suspicious pervert up to while she was away? [Note: Traveler, you have been caught by Cat Cat again.] Luo Xi almost had a heart attack on the spot as he withdrew his hands. It felt as thrilling as secretly reading novels during high school classes. The Cat-eared girl walked over with a forced smile, sitting between Luo Xi and Aina, her gaze murderous as she looked at Luo Xi and said, I thought you were hit with some kind of Curse skill, making you go crazy. Turns out you just wanted to get rid of me to do something weird with Aina, didnt you? Youre overthinking it. Of course, Luo Xi was not about to admit to a crime he hadnt committed. He truly just wanted to study seriously. With righteous indignation, Luo Xi said, You can ask Aina, I really only touched her tail, and did nothing else, absolutely nothing! You have to emphasize important things three times. Weier: Is this guy getting more and more presumptuous? If something were to happen to her as she had mentioned before, and Luo Xi was still alive, would it really be a good choice to entrust Aina to him? Aina obediently said, Sister Weier, its okay, dont mention Brother Luo Xi anymore. Aina doesnt mind, who else would be interested in our mutation characteristics other than such a weirdo? Luo Xi thought to himself that this might not necessarily be the case. In his own world, just about any young person who had been exposed to modern ACG culture would probably have a special fondness for beast eared girls. Sister really fears that you might get sold one day and still count the money for others Weier sighed softly, then looked at Luo Xi and asked with a frown, Youre speaking quite fluently now, have you fully recovered? Not yet. Luo Xi thought for a moment and said, At most for half an hour, now theres about 20 minutes left before youll find me back to my original state. Weier asked with confusion, Why do you have this condition? Luo Xi spread his hands, You probably wouldnt believe the truth if I told you. Weier: Then dont say it. Luo Xi: He squinted his eyes, barely making out the cat ears on the head of the cat-eared girl through the mist before him. Cute, too bad he couldnt pet them. He wondered when he would be able to get the favorability of this cat-eared girl to a point where he could pet her. Weier stood up and said, Alright, since youre okay, then we should probably head back to the bedroom now. By the way, do you want to take a bath? Some parts of you seem rather dirty, the bathroom is over there, help yourself if you want to use it. Luo Xi nodded, Okay. Aina raised her little hand and said, Sister Weier, Aina wants to take a bath too, I feel kind of itchy. Well, Aina, you go first or Luo Xi, you go first, Weier said, changing her mind mid-sentence. [Note: Trash Traveler, perhaps the cat-eared girl suspects you might do something strange while Little Aina is taking a bath.] Luo Xi: (**)?! Is he the kind of person with no bottom line? Aina came out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel after about ten minutes. Luo Xi also entered the bathroom subsequently and took off the coat the innkeeper had bought for him, along with the clothes underneath. In the bathroom, Luo Xi stared blankly at the shower and bathtub, and other washing facilities, which resembled those in the real world. The showerhead wasnt connected to a pipe, but as soon as he pressed a switch on the wall, a continuous flow of water came out. Pressing another switch next to it heated the water, turning cold water into hot. This dream world really is incredible. Outside the bathroom, Weiers voice suddenly came through. Oh, and use less hot water; the Origin Crystal ore that powers it is just a scrap, but its also very expensive. A small piece costs two silver coins! Okay Luo Xi replied. Then, in this world, he successfully completed his first bath. After washing up at lightning speed, Luo Xi suddenly remembered something. Darn it, where are my change of clothes? Luo Xi leaned on the bathroom door and shouted outside, Cat Cat, can you hear me? sea??h th N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Cat Cat? Good Cat Cat? Aina? Aina hears you! Ainas energetic voice came through. No, why do you call Aina by her name, but you call me Cat Cat? Chapter 54 - 54 54 - The Tsundere Cat-Eared Girl_1 ?Chapter 54: Chapter 54 C The Tsundere Cat-Eared Girl_1 Chapter 54: Chapter 54 C The Tsundere Cat-Eared Girl_1 Weiers voice carried a hint of helplessness, What is it? Just say it. Do you have any clothes to change into? Anything would do. No, both Aina and I are girls. We dont have mens clothes at home. Youll have to figure that out on your own. Luo Xi: After thinking for a bit, he took the clothes he had just changed out of, scrubbed them in the water inside the wooden tub a few times, then put them back on, and put the hat transformed from the Yuan Su Furnace Core back on his head. The heat circulating around his body would soon evaporate the moisture from the clothes. After dealing with the clothes, Luo Xi opened the door and stepped out. The two Beast Eared Girls in the living room turned their heads to look at him together. Since the clothes were not dry, the damp fabric clung tightly to his body. Ainas tea gold eyes sparkled with radiance, Brother Luo Xi, you have a great figure! [Traveler, your Happiness Level +3] [Note: Traveler, be aware that your pants are about to fall down.] Weier frowned, Are you wearing the same clothes again? Isnt it dirty? Luo Xi nonchalantly pulled up his pants, saying, Then I dont have a choice, do I? You surely wouldnt expect me to conjure up clothes from nowhere, right? Thats true Thats my fault. Weier pressed her hand against her forehead, Wait a bit, Ill go to my room and see if there are some larger clothes that could work as a temporary solution for you. Having said that, the Cat-eared Girl entered the bedroom, and after searching for two minutes, she came out with a red piece of clothing. Do you want to change into this for now? Luo Xi: Is this your clothing? Of course not. Weier looked at Luo Xi as if he were a fool, Do you think you can fit into my clothes? This was brought back by my mother from outside once when I was still around, but she never wore it because she said the color was too bright and she didnt like it. So, do you want it or not? Luo Xi immediately shook his head: No thanks. He was absolutely against the idea of wearing womens clothing from the bottom of his heart. Youre so finicky. Weier huffed, turned her head, and tossed the clothing back into the bedroom. Then she poked her Cat Cat head out, Anyway, your hat can keep you warm. When you go to your room later, throw out all of your clothes and I will wash them for you. The way you just rinsed your dirty clothes with water and then dried them, I dont know where you learned that, but its quite a peculiar laundry skill. [Ding! Your Happiness Level +10] It wasnt entirely clear from the text, but after Luo Xi actually came to this world and spent time with this Cat Cat, he suddenly realized that this Cat-eared Girl seemingly possessed the Tsundere trait. [Note: Suspicious perverted Traveler, tsundere Cat-eared Little Lolitas, they must be right up your alley, huh?] Truth be told yes. No, can we not have these pop-up commentary boxes interrupting me? Suddenly, Luo Xi felt his consciousness beginning to disjoint. Times up. When he opened his eyes again, he was back to seeing the ceiling of his bedroom. Luo Xi checked the time. It was almost ten oclock. The text on his mobile screen continued. [Traveler, you have returned to your own bedroom. Remembering Weiers words, you took off all your clothes except for your underwear and left them outside the bedroom door. Then you crawled into the blanket on the floor.] [Traveler, would you like to go to sleep?] [Yes] Luo Xi yawned. He felt sleepy. Now he could really go to sleep. Luo Xi was about to put his phone in the hanging basket, but then a new email notification popped up on the screen. [Sender: Dreamland Travel Management Bureau] Luo Xi was startled. He opened the email. There wasnt much in the email, just a few simple links. Luo Xi had a hunch, so he clicked the first link. In the link was a questionnaire. The first question was direct. [1. Have you played the text game Dawn?] [2. What is your opinion of the game Dawn?] [] It took Luo Xi about fifteen minutes to complete the questionnaire with 100 questions. His opinion: it was uninteresting and couldnt reveal much. Clicking the second link brought up a few videos. The first video was titled, The Light of Dawn, Building a Beautiful Home Together. After glancing through it for a moment, Luo Xi immediately closed the video. Not sure who made this promotional video about Dawn, it was too sleep-inducing. It would be better just to sleep. The rest of the videos could wait until later. S~ea??h the N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. After all, one could guess what they were likely about with their toes. /// Night had fallen. On the snowstorm-stricken streets, three figures in black robes trudged through the thick snow, moving stealthily. One of them led, the other two, one fat and one tall. They arrived at a building whose first two floors were abandoned, the third floor still in use. The leader of the black-robed figures looked up and asked in a deep voice, Is this the place? The tall black-robed figure said, Probably. Slap The muffled sound of a slap was quickly lost amidst the sound of the blizzard. I need a definite location! Lord Tyr, Im sure its here! Tyr nodded, Take the staff that belongs to the Lord Acolyte and bring that little cat out. Dont make any noise; we must have the key in our hands, not that rat. Everything is for the eternal truth. Everything for the eternal truth! the fat black-robed figure echoed. The tall black-robed figure, however, voiced his doubt, But isnt Mr. Noss also working towards Slap!Another slap. Tyr shook his hand off, sneering, Who knows whether he has betrayed the truth. If it werent for that stinking biaozi who turned traitor at the critical moment three years ago, the Lord Acolytes plan would have succeeded by now. If you screw up this mission, go to the Lord Acolyte yourself and ask for death! Yes! But I heard the Rat King has laid eyes and ears around here Tyr took out a strange beast mark from his pocket. The Lord Acolyte has already prepared everything. Just follow the plan, and do you know why I chose you two for this task? Because youre too weak, less likely to be detected. The black-robed figure: /// Luo Xi woke up to the shrill sound of an alarm, then realized his two roommates were still sound asleep. They drank so much last night, it seemed unlikely theyd be up for studying today. Luo Xi whipped out his phone and adeptly opened Dawn. It felt like he was logging in to do his daily game tasks. [Traveler, you have awoken and you feel exceptionally spirited] [Note: Today is another day to pet Beast Eared Lolitas!] [At that moment, Traveler, you hear urgent knocking from the direction of the bedroom and Ainas very anxious voice.] [Brother Luo Xi, hurry and open the door, Weier is missing!] Luo Xi: ??? - - [Some readers were saying that the protagonists hidden talent was never used; Luo Xis long-concealed talent, Moonflow, is about to make an appearance!] Chapter 55 - 55 55 Ainas Sorrow_1 ?Chapter 55: Chapter 55: Ainas Sorrow_1 Chapter 55: Chapter 55: Ainas Sorrow_1 [Traveler, you hear Ainas anxious voice and quickly climb out of the covers, racing towards the door.] [When you open the door, you see Ainas face filled with confusion, fear, and dread.] The urgency of Ainas moment even made Luo Xi feel it through the phone screen. [The emotions disappeared within seconds after the little wolf girl saw you, a blush spread across Ainas face as she covered her eyes and yelled, Brother Luo Xi, youre not dressed yet!] [Traveler, you suddenly remember that you went to bed last night wearing only your underwear] [Note: Perverted suspicious traveler, its time to eat peanuts!] Sear?h the n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Brother Luo Xi, I left your clothes outside the door. Aina will go back to her room, just call me after youre dressed.] [Little Lolita tapped on the door lightly and then stepped away.] [Traveler, you partially open the door and picked up the set of clothes Weier washed clean for you last night from the floor and dressed as quickly as possible.] [The clothes were almost dry and had a scent of flowers similar to that of the two beast-eared girls.] [Traveler, you open the door and step out, calling softly, Aina, Im ready.] [The door of the bedroom next door squeaked open, and Aina looked at you, recalling what had just happened, her face still a little red, but anxiety quickly overtook shyness. She fully opened the bedroom door and said, Brother Luo Xi, when Aina woke up in the morning, she noticed her sister was gone, and no one was in the small room!] [Traveler, you walked over to take a look.] [The bedroom bed was empty.] [You asked, Is it possible your sister got up early to go out shopping or had something to do?] [Aina hesitated but then shook her head firmly, denying it, No, Weier would have told Aina in advance if she was going to do something or shop outside. She wouldnt sneak away because she knows Aina hates that!] [So, someone must have taken my sister away!] The little wolf girl was certain; she never once considered the possibility that her sister left on her own, especially since her mother left, her sister had never left her side without notifying her first. [Traveler, you ask, May I look for clues in the bedroom?] [Aina nodded eagerly, Brother Luo Xi, you can check anything.] [Traveler, you went to the bedside and lifted the blankets.] [Ding! Traveler, you found a snow-white hair on the bed.] [Ding! You found a dark brown hair.] [Ding! You found a lightweight nightgown still warm to the touch.] [Note: Perverted suspicious traveler, stop searching. Are you looking for something strange to satisfy your fetishes?] Luo Xi: [Traveler, you did not find any signs of struggle in the bedroom.] [You said, Lets check the basement secret room, is there anything important there?] [Yes, there are several unused skill scrolls stored there!] [Aina led you down to the small secret room, she moved the books on the floor, finally revealing a small box in the center of the pile.] [Inside the box, there were a few dozen unused scrolls.] [Aina counted them and shook her head, The number of scrolls hasnt changed.] [If the count of the scrolls has not changed, then the scrolls were not the intruders target.] [So if someone indeed took Weier, could their sole purpose be Weier herself?] [The Cat Cats strength, although not fully demonstrated in your presence, should make her no weaker than you. Would she have been taken down without any resistance if someone attacked her?] [Traveler, you feel the hem of your clothing tug and turn to see Aina looking up at you with tears brimming in her eyes.] [Brother Luo Xi, will my sister end up like mom, never coming back?] [No, your sister would never abandon you.] [Traveler, you gently stroked the little wolf girls head, then sank into thought.] Luo Xi stared at the screens text, also lost in thought. That Aina was able to sleep well until dawn also suggested that if someone took Weier away, their intention was likely not to take the Cat Cats life. So, what was the real reason? Luo Xi quickly remembered someone. New text appeared on the phone screen. [Traveler, a figure emerges in your mind.] [The Rat King.] [Could it have been him?] The Rat King could curse his characters undetected in the night. Perhaps he could have taken Weier away in the same manner. But the locust plague is due tomorrow, and Weier had already agreed to help Aina enter Winter City using the Rat Kings channels. Would the Rat King need to take her away so clandestinely? It would be completely unnecessary. Is there any way Wait, theres one more thing! Luo Xi remembered his initial choice when entering the game, the colorful talentMoonflowZero Point. If this talent were genuinely as described and he could return to the stroke of midnight today, then returning to the night, he might yet find out what happened last evening. But achieving this required his character to die once. [Traveler, you went to the kitchen and picked up a sharp kitchen knife.] [However, you found you couldnt bring yourself to do it.] [Note: Traveler, ask yourself, do you truly have the courage to end it all yourself?] Luo Xi paused momentarily. Even knowing he wouldnt truly die, was his subconscious still afraid of death? Its a fundamental logic ingrained in the genetics of all organisms that cannot be erased. But the solution is simplefind someone or an Origin Beast to help him with it. Just like the first few times he died. Come to think of it, since being brought back by Weier, the Cat Cat has saved him several times in a row, hasnt she? He hasnt died even once since then. [Traveler, you tell Aina, Aina, well wait another half an hour. If your sister hasnt returned by then, Brother will go out and look for her.] [Little Lolita nodded emphatically.] X30. [Traveler, you are waiting] After a minute felt in your senses, the time came. [Traveler, you get yourself ready and prepare to head out.] [Aina is slumped on the sofa, her tea-gold eyes somewhat vacant. Seeing you get up, she quickly says, Aina wants to go with you!] [No, wait at home for me.] [Traveler, you set out into the heavy snow, and after asking a passerby, you discover Nosss residence.] [Traveler, you turn back to look at the three-story building.] [Amidst the swirling snowstorm, a window in the building opened, and the young girl leaned against the window watching you, her expression filled with sadness.] Chapter 56 - 56 56 The Moment the Cat Has Not Been Lost_1 ?Chapter 56: Chapter 56 The Moment the Cat Has Not Been Lost_1 Chapter 56: Chapter 56 The Moment the Cat Has Not Been Lost_1 [Traveler, following the directions given by the passerby, you have found a standalone building about four hundred meters from Weiers home.] This must be the Rat Kings house. Luo Xi fell silent for a moment before clicking on the Talent section of the character menu. [Would you like to use Talent: Immersion?] [Yes] [The prerequisites for triggering the Talent have been met.] [Please select the mode of Talent you wish to trigger.] [[Happiness]/[Anger]] [Happiness] [You have consumed 733 Happiness Points.] [Immersion (Happiness): In this state, your character will receive a bonus of Strength +73.3%, your resistance to negative spirit-type skills +73.3%, the duration of this Talent shall not exceed ten minutes maximum.] [You are synchronizing with the character from the Dream World Please wait.] [Traveler, welcome to the journey of dreams~] /// Noss sat leisurely on a small chair, sipping a steaming cup of tea. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed and he stood up, pushing open the window on the first floor, looking out at the newcomer through the snowstorm. That young man, all wrapped up in a white robe without showing his face, was immediately recognized by him. What are you here for, young man? The newcomer was indeed Luo Xi. At this moment, everything he saw and heard had become real; he could even see the wrinkles on the Rat Kings forehead. sea??h th n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Luo Xi said calmly, Weier has gone missing. Nosss face changed instantly. Weier is missing? Impossible! Where could she go? What about Aina? Luo Xi was also taken aback. So it wasnt the Rat King who took Cat Cat away? Luo Xi shook his head, I dont know where Weier has gone, she probably disappeared last night, and Aina is still at home. Last night Noss closed his eyes to sense for a moment. The perception from afar responded to him quickly. All the lookouts he had placed around were in a state of slumber. He instantly had an idea. Only that guy who had an issue with him possessed such abilities and means. Seeing the Rat King like this, Luo Xi asked, Wasnt it you who took Weier away? The Rat King burst into laughter as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. Why would I take Little Weier away? Who knows? Maybe you have a special fondness for young girls, Luo Xi said. Rat King: What is this guy talking about? Dont assume just because you like young girls that everyone in the world likes them too! It wasnt me who took her. The Rat King said with a somber expression, However, I know who did. Then you can bring her back. I cant. The Rat King lifted the teacup in his hand, took a sip, and said, Now that the guy has chosen to act behind my back, its as if weve openly split face on the dark side. If I go to him for her now, not only will he deny it, but if I forcefully break through to find her, with his madman-like temperament, he might even decide to kill Little Weier ahead of time. Kill ahead of time Luo Xi sharply caught the word usage. What exactly do these people want to do? He suppressed the slightly surging thoughts in his mind and spoke slowly, Mr. Rat King, the curse I bear, it was you who cast it, wasnt it? The Rat King revealed a grin and said, Some things, youre better off playing dumbyou might live a bit longer that way. No worries, Luo Xi smiled as well and said, Ill make sure next time. Rat King: . Make sure next time, do you think youll have a next time? A clear hum resonated in the room, and a steel sword suddenly appeared in Nosss hand. The Rat King slowly raised the sword, Since youve delivered yourself to my door, then I shall send you to meet the Grim Reaper first. After all, one of the truths of this world is death. Luo Xi lifted his head and asked, I have one last question, can you answer me? Ask. Mr. Rat King, the care youve shown towards Weier over the years, was it genuine? The Rat King threw back his head and laughed, his laughter dissolving into the snowstorm. There is no one who wishes more earnestly for that child to grow up healthy and safe than me! A gray-green sword light streaked across the sky. Luo Xi wanted to try to resist, but in an instant, he felt his body lighten. Then, the consciousness occupying his body swiftly withdrew. [Ding! Traveler, you have died.] [Would you like to resurrect at a safe location?] The gap in strength was too great; at least this Rat King was not an enemy he could confront head-on. [Ding! Talent: MoonflowZero Point has been triggered.] [Do you choose to rewind to zero oclock today?] [Yes] But, what did it matter if the gap in strength was vast? If this rewind was real [Friendly reminder: Using this Talent, Traveler, your spirit will endure some mental strain during the rewind. Do you wish to proceed?] [Yes] When Luo Xi tapped on this Yes, an intensely brilliant light suddenly appeared before his eyes. It was a book emitting a rainbow gleam and decorated with countless strange patterns. Its page, which was already flipping, slowly reversed back into place. [Ding! Talent: MoonflowZero Point has been triggered.] [Traveler, good luck.] .. Luo Xi jolted awake. Huhu On the two beds beside him, Chen Yao and Wang Yuanjies snores were especially loud. Next came the pain that originated from the scalp and penetrated the brain. Painful, painful, painful! It was as if a needle had been inserted into his brain. After a while, the pain eased. Memories flashed through Luo Xis mind. Weier had vanished. He had been killed by the Rat King and then chose to use his Talent to rewind. The rewind was successful? Luo Xi fumbled for his phone in the bunk above. The screen showed it was September 27th, the time was 00:01. The darkness outside the window suggested it was still deep into the night; no trace of sunlight could be seen through the curtain. Luo Xi had originally thought that at most, his Talent would rewind the game time to the stroke of midnight; he hadnt expected it to actually reverse the time in the real world as well. What kind of mighty power was this? Luo Xi unlocked his phone and opened Dawn. [Traveler, youve returned.] [You are deep in sleep, do you wish to awaken?] [Yes] [Traveler, your spirit has experienced intense confusion. All attributes of your role in the Dream World have decreased by 10% (this negative state cannot be reversed by resurrection, it lasts for 8 hours).] [Traveler, you climbed out from under the covers, and without a second thought, you rushed straight towards the door.] [You need to confirm whether Weier is still in the bedroom next door.] [Thump thump thump!] [Whats the matter?] [Its me.] Luo Xi breathed a sigh of relief. At least Cat Cat was still here at this time. [Squeak] [As the door opened and the soft indoor light turned on, Weier poked her head through the crack in the door. A few seconds later, the cat-eared girl shouted angrily, You pervert, running over here to knock on the door without any clothes, what are you up to!] [Traveler, only then do you remember that youre only wearing your underwear.] [Um Luo Xi brother, is there something you want? Little Ainas sleepy voice came from the bedroom.] [Aina, dont look!] [Note: Trash Traveler, youre definitely doing this on purpose, quickly commit seppuku as an apology!] Chapter 57 - 57 57 Eating Doughnuts at Midnight_1 ?Chapter 57: Chapter 57: Eating Doughnuts at Midnight_1 Chapter 57: Chapter 57: Eating Doughnuts at Midnight_1 [Aina, dont look yet, and make sure you put your clothes on properly.] [The cat-eared girl reminded her once more to prevent her silly little sister from seeing something strange.] [Note: Actually, Little Aina has already seen it once before, hasnt she?] Luo Xi: This unscrupulous text really did follow him back from that time in the morning. [Traveler, you returned to your room, wrapped yourself in a blanket, and then came out again.] [Weiers light red eyes were furious as she looked at you, waiting for you to give her an explanation.] [However, Traveler, you didnt know how to explain the situation to the cat-eared girl.] [Tell Cat Cat that you lost yourself in the morning?] [Would she believe it?] [But even if she doesnt believe it, you still have to try.] [After all, youve faced death once yourself, so even if youre regarded as a delusional patient by the girl this time, you want to see for yourself what exactly Cat Cat will encounter tonight.] [Gentle Reminder: ??? demands that you not tell anyone about tracing back in time.] Luo Xi: The matter of resurrection could be mentioned, so why couldnt he speak of tracing back in time? Does this indicate that the resurrection offered by the Great Will is different from the time tracing provided by ???? [Traveler, you said to Weier: Can we not sleep tonight?''] [Weier: ???''] [Ding! Weiers Anger Value +3] [The cat-eared girl narrowed her light red pupils and watched you with a dangerous gaze, Give me a reason?''] [You said, Because Im a little scared.''] [Scared?] [_Weiers look of anger turned to confusion, Why do you feel scared?''] [Traveler, you replied, Im afraid that when I wake up tomorrow morning, I might suddenly not see you anymore.''] Luo Xi: Isnt this, sounding like some kind of romantic talk, really something that would come out of his characters mouth? [Note: Traveler, isnt this exactly what you meant to express?] Right, thats true, but spoken under these circumstances, it feels very easy to be misunderstood [Ding! Weiers Embarrassment Value +30] [Ding! Weiers Favorability +1] Well, it seems there has been a misunderstanding. But why did the favorability still increase by 1 point? Luo Xi fell into deep thought. [Traveler, you can clearly see that Weiers usually cool and delicate cute face turned quickly pink, even spreading to the tips of her ears.] [So this tsundere Cat Cat can feel shy, huh?] [What do you mean you wont see me tomorrow morning? Are you sick or something?''] [Weier muttered under her breath and turned to close the door.] [Traveler, of course, you couldnt let Cat Cat just go back like that, so you immediately lunged forward and held the door with your shoulder.] [Note: Traveler, why not just be straightforward, and if you cant do one thing you cant do another, spend the night under the big blanket with the two beast-eared lolitas.] Stay out of this, you rogue text! [If you dont let go, Im going to get angry!''] [Ainas voice came from the bedroom, Weier sister, why dont we listen to what Brother Luo Xi wants to say?''] [What can he say? That guys brain doesnt work right anyway, itll just be more of that weird talk.''] [Weve already been woken up anyway, and we slept so much in the afternoon, we can handle a little less sleep.''] [Aina, why are you so accommodating to him?''] [Ehehe~''] [You trust people too easily. One day you could be sold off without even realizing it.''] [The cat-eared girl hesitated, her grip on the door loosening, and because you didnt let go, you ended up falling into the bedroom with the door.] [Under the dim light, you lifted your head and saw that both Aina and Weier were wearing only thin nightgowns.] [Traveler, your Happiness Level +10] [Wait, nows not the time to be happy!] [Note: Even you know that, Traveler.] [The cat-eared girl couldnt be bothered to talk to you anymore, she walked back to the bed, got into the covers, and sat up on the bed with Aina to watch you.] [Note: This is the moment of judgment! Die, you perverted loli-con Traveler!] [So, what the hell is going on with you?] [Traveler, you werent sure how to explain, but it didnt matter much as long as they were willing to let you stay in the room.] [Traveler, you asked, Do you want to hear a story?] [Weier was taken aback: What kind of story?''] sea??h th novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Aina eagerly nodded: I want to hear! Go on, Brother Luo Xi!] What should he tell them? Luo Xi pondered. How about Journey to the West? He immediately opened the e-book and set up a split-screen on his phone. [This is a story about a journey to the west.''] [Traveler, you slowly began: In the words of the poet: In chaos undivided, earth and sky were muddled, vague and boundless, no one seen.

Two figures cloaked in black robes, having erased all traces of their presence, exchanged glances, each seeing impatience in the others eyes. Damn, they thought, not sleeping in the dead of night, what the hell are these people doing inside the bedroom? One of the cloaked figures gestured to the other to go down and report the situation to Lord, seeking his instructions. They were hesitant to act by themselves since everyone in the room was still awake, especially since the wand could only take control of one person at a time. In the bitter cold of the wind and snow, Tyr below was shivering with cold hands. His two subordinates had been squatting with the dream-controlling wand for a long time, but they hadnt managed to bring anyone down yet. Had something happened? As one subordinates figure appeared, Tyr stopped rubbing his hands and asked, Havent you dealt with it? The subordinate spoke in a low voice: Lord Tyr, theres been a change. Tyrs heart skipped a beat: What happened? The subordinate reported: That man in their house is an oddball. Instead of sleeping at night, hes up doing who knows what, babbling away with Liyas two daughters in the bedroom! What? Tyr was shocked, Theyre into such perversion? The little cat was one thing, as she was nearly an adult, but Liyas younger daughter was involved too? Perverse? The subordinate hesitated, speaking strangely: They arent playing theyre telling stories. Telling stories? Tyr was utterly bewildered. What was wrong with these people, not sleeping in the middle of the night to tell stories, wouldnt they lack the energy for daytime activities?

This story is quite interesting; Ive never heard it before. Did you make it up yourself?] [Aina clapped her hands and said, That was so enjoyable! Brother Luo Xi, please tell us more! What happened to the monkey afterward?] [Then I shall continue.] [Traveler, you were, of course, willing to speak for a while longer.] [As long as they dont rush you out of this bedroom, its fine.] [Traveler, you cleared your throat, ready to resume the tale of Journey to the West.] [Suddenly, you heard the sound of large chunks of snow falling from the roof.] [The houses on Grey Stone Street all have sloped roofs, after all, if they were flat, then in this heavy snowfall, it would be akin to suicidethe snow would easily collapse the dwellings.] [Is this a normal phenomenon?] [The next moment, an anomaly occurred.] [What else is there to tell, what are you babbling on about!] [With a furious growl, the bedroom window was broken, and a figure wrapped in a pitch-black cloak burst in from the outside.] [Weier reacted quickly, flipping up from the bed in an instant, she single-handedly picked up Aina and tossed her in your direction, Traveler.] [Luo Xi, catch!] [Traveler, you caught Aina, who was only wearing a thin nightgown, and gently placed the Little Wolf Girl behind you.] [With vigilance, Weier asked, Who are you? No, who are you guys?] [Following the person in the black cloak, another new figure in a black cloak emerged, both clad entirely in dark attire, one fat and the other tall.] [One of the cloaked figures suddenly raised his wand and shouted in a low voice, Puppet Dream Illusion!] [A beam of purple light burst forth from the wand, flying toward the Cat-eared girl on the bed. Weiers expression changed, and she tried to dodge, but the light strangely curved, hitting her. At the moment of contact, the girls expression became vacant, and her body stiffened.] [Weiers pale red pupils instantly lost their luster, as if she had lost consciousness, and she began walking forward rigidly.] [Next to you, Traveler, Aina anxiously cried, Sister Weier! Whats wrong with you?] [The figure in the black cloak, looking at you, sneered, We intended to take this little cat away without anyone noticing, but since youve chosen to stay up late telling some stupid story and wasting our time, you can all go to hell!] [Traveler, you realized that Weiers inexplicable disappearance was because of this peculiar spell, didnt you?] [But since the other party is infuriated because you three gathered together in the middle of the night and didnt sleep, and the spell was only used on the Cat Cat, doesnt that suggest this spell could only be cast once in a short period of time?] [The figure in the black cloak raised his wand towards you, Traveler.] [A green orb of light gradually condensed at the top of the wand.] [However, a fiery red sphere shot from behind you, faster, towards the figure in the black cloak.] [Aina pulled out a scroll from beneath her nightgown and unfurled it, launching it at the enemy.] [This spell scroll seemed very powerful, and the two black-cloaked figures dared not dodge, allowing it to hit the wall. They, one using a wand and the other wielding a blade, scrambled to extinguish the fireball inside the bedroom.] [Weiers footsteps temporarily halted.] [Seizing the opportunity, Aina pulled out another scroll from under the bed, and upon unfurling it, a white halo separated you from the black-cloaked figures.] [The Little Lolita cried out, Brother Luo Xi, think of something quick, this scroll can only last for 30 seconds!] Luo Xi quickly pulled up his character panel. [Traveler, do you want to use your Talent: Immersion?] [Yes] His Dream Synchronization module was cooling down, but his talent could still be used normally. Time was rewound, and not only was the cooldown for his talent reset, but his spent Happiness Level also returned. However, this time, Luo Xi chose a new talent trigger mode. [Traveler, you have spent 156 points of Anger Value.] [Immersion (Anger): In this state, all your damage +15.6%, your agility +15.6%, all your attacks guarantee a critical strike and piercing. After this state ends, you will be unable to move for a short time due to exhaustion (156 seconds).] [Traveler, welcome to the journey of dreams~] /// Luo Xi shook his head. The darkness before his eyes dissipated, revealing the rooms scene. The two black-cloaked figures stood beside the bedroom bed, with Weier slowly walking toward them, her movements rigid. Brother Luo Xi! Can you help sister, please? Aina pleaded. I will, Luo Xi said with a light laugh. Ive already promised you. Aina blinked in confusion. When did Brother Luo Xi promise Aina anything? Aina, are there any more scrolls? If not, go to the secret chamber and get those scrolls! Luo Xi whispered urgently. Aina nodded, lifted the floorboard, and started to crawl down. Even though she didnt know how Brother Luo Xi knew about the scrolls in the small room, she trusted him wholeheartedly in that moment. Luo Xi looked towards the robed figures on the opposite side, threw off the blanket wrapped around him, and charged directly at Weier. He grabbed the girls hand, trying to forcefully pull the stiff Cat Cat back. Seeking death! The fat man in the lead grew desperate. In the instant that the white light faded, he swung his wand as if it were a sword. Even if Lord Tyr had said that the Rat Kings spies had been cleared out, and the sounds of the fight were muffled by the howling wind and snow, if they couldnt take the person away within a certain time, it was still possible to attract the Rat Kings attention. Ill let you steal my Cat Cat! Luo Xi also put all his strength into striking the chest of the fat robed man. Absolute Critical Strike, Absolute Piercing Blow, plus the Critical Strike ability that could be used to its fullest extent only with anger, was now aided by a warm current flowing into his body from his hood, making this punch even heavier! This strike was already almost beyond the one that had sent the black serpent flying with a single punch! The taller robed figure watched in horror as his companion was hit in the chest by Luo Xis punch and sent flying backward, forcing him to stand his ground and catch his falling companion. A mouthful of fresh blood sprayed out of the fat robed mans throat. Why was this punch so devastatingly heavy? Brother Luo Xi, the scrolls are here! Aina emerged from the passage, holding a dozen or so magic scrolls in her arms. The tall robed mans pupils constricted abruptly, knowing that Liya, as a Tier Four Skill Master, must have left behind many scrolls. That bastard Rat King, with so many opportunities over three years, why didnt he think of a way to take these scrolls? He immediately decided to make a run for it, though still casting a reluctant look at his accomplice. Sorry, I want to live. The tall robed man carelessly threw his comrade to the ground and jumped out the window. Below, Tyr, seeing someone jump down, asked with a cold face, Is it done? Slap! A muffled slap on the face. Done your ass. The tall robed man shook off his hand, looking disdainfully at this person who was only somewhat competent when bossing around subordinates or with his mouth. Lord Tyr, this is farewell. The wrath of His Excellency the Steward, Ill leave for you to face alone! The cat-eared girl sat quietly on the bed, her chest moving with a steady rhythm as she breathed. Suddenly, Weier coughed several times in succession. The blank expression in her eyes returned to its usual brightness. Looking at Luo Xi with confusion, Weier asked, What happened? Sitting on the floor, Luo Xi replied weakly, Over there. Near the wall, the fat robed man was taking shallow breaths and exhaling more; he probably wouldnt live much longer. Why did they send such weak people to steal Cat Cat? Was it because they feared the Rat King? Brother Luo Xi, a towel, wipe this offSister, youre back to normal, thats great! Little Aina lunged into Weiers embrace. Weier paused for a long time, looked at you, and said softly, Thank you. [Ding! Favorability from Weier +40] [Weiers recognition of you has deepened] [Current Favorability from Weier: 143 (Trusted Friend)] [Description: After tonights events, Cat Cat has let go of all her guards towards you. Although she still thinks theres something not quite right with your mind, shes willing to trust you completely.] [Favorability from Aina +30] [Ding! Current Favorability from Aina: 163 (Big Brother she really likes)] [Description: If Sister Weier doesnt want Brother Luo Xi, Aina can marry Brother Luo Xi when she grows up! Of course, even if Sister wants him, Aina still likes Brother Luo Xi!] [Note: Actually, Little Aina, you dont have to grow up, this odd Big Brother would agree to it anyway~] Who would agree to that! sea??h th Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Inside a small and low house. A man dressed in black, Tyr, kneeled below, as another similarly dressed figure loomed above him, scolding furiously: Useless! You deadbeat, I even lent you the Dreamland Wand, as long as you use it while shes asleep, that girl would have followed you on her own. Cant you even handle something so simple? Tyr hurriedly explained, My Lord, its all the fault of those two subordinates of mine, they betrayed me and I dont want to hear it! Wheres my Dreamland Wand? I lost it there. The atmosphere in the house instantly quieted down. Damn it all! Get lost! If it werent for the fact that youre a relative of the Bishop, you would have been chopped up and fed to the dogs by now! . /// [Ding! Your Free Quest: No Longer a Solitary Journey, completion 50%, is in progress] [Description: Youve gained the recognition of two Beast Eared Girls, now its time to invite them to join you on your journey of exploring this world!] [Reward: Cradle to the Nest (Gold/Legend/Unique)] Luo Xi watched the man in the fat black robe who lay motionless on the ground and wanted to burst into laughter. How dare he attempt to steal his Cat Cat, now he knows the consequences, doesnt he? But soon, his sense of triumph sank. Compared to these black-robed men whose strength wasnt too formidable, the Rat King was the biggest problem. Moreover, from the Rat King, he had learned that there was at least one other being of a similar magnitude. For them, Weier must be a crucial node in their plans; otherwise, the Rat King and that hidden figure behind the scenes wouldnt have gone to such lengths over Cat Cat. [Ding! Synchronization time remaining: 0 seconds] [Traveler, we welcome you to come again~] Luo Xi felt his mind go blank, and when he opened his eyes again, he was back in his dorm room. The snoring of his two roommates was still thunderously loud. [Traveler, the side effects of your talent have activated, you are temporarily unable to move] [Your body stiffens, and you suddenly fall to the ground] [Weier and Aina watch you in a panic] [You signal that youre just drained, temporarily unable to move, but the two Beast Eared Girls dont seem to believe you] [Speed up recovery?] [Yes] X10. [After 156 seconds, Traveler, you are able to move again] [Seeing you get up normally, the two cat-eared girls let out a sigh of relief] Luo Xi decides that he should use his ability in the state of anger less in the future. Although Immersion while angry is indeed powerful, the side effects are problematic, leaving one quite vulnerable post-use. [Traveler, you glance at the corner of the wall and ask, Cat Cat, do you know who they are?] [Ill check. Weier walks over to inspect the man in the black robe on the ground] [The face hidden beneath the black veil has become a blur of flesh, seemingly with countless tiny flesh buds writhing on it] [The cat-eared girls expression reveals a hint of horror, The Church of Truth!] [The Church of Truth?] [Weier speaks gravely, This is a heretical cult group wanted by all major powers. Their doctrine is truth and eternity, but their actions are the complete opposite of their teachings. The chaos and disaster in many places are instigated by them. Everyone in this group is almost insane, and no one knows what theyre really thinking.] [But why would they target me? What could possibly make the Church of Truth take note of me?] [The cat-eared girl falls into contemplation] [Traveler, you walk over and pick up the wand lying beside the man in the black robe. The wand is very ornate, with a purple gemstone embedded at the top] [Ding! You have obtained the Dreamland Wand] [Dreamland Wand] [Quality: Blue (Rare)] [Category: Wand-type Weapon] [Attributes: All skill damage +30%120% (According to the users tier, different damage bonuses can be obtained), your casting speed +30%, your skill cooldown time -10%] [Added Skill: Puppet Dreamland, Poison Light Bomb] [Puppet Dreamland: When used on a person of the same tier as you or lower, it can make them obey your commands for half an hour, with a cooldown of 1 hour.] [Poison Light Bomb: You can release a light bomb with strong toxicity, with a cooldown of 10s.] [Description: The original owner of this wand didnt understand its true use at all! Is this how you use hypnotic skills? Trash Traveler, its time to show your true skill!] Screw your true skill! However, this added skill Luo Xis expression was somewhat strange. The skill descriptions that came with the wand indeed reminded him of certain scenes from strange shows that only existed in reality and which couldnt be described in detail. But was he that kind of person? [Weier glanced at it and said, Just the Purple Color purified Essence Crystal on this wand is probably very expensive. If sold in the black market, I estimate it would fetch at least 2000 pounds of Essence Crystal, which could be sold for about twenty thousand gold coins.] [How strange, they spent so much to get this thing to catch me, why didnt they send more capable people?] [Ding! Your Shock Value +30] [A minor monster, actually dropped such a valuable equipment] [Is this what they call a turn of fortune?] [Note: Traveler, this is called the bottom line. Having had bad luck for so many days, you should finally have a stroke of good luck.] Luo Xi: [Traveler, you ask, Can I put it away first? I want to research it.] [Do as you wish.] [Obviously, Cat Cat is not very interested in this wand, even though it could sell for a lot of money.] [It makes sense considering they have so many precious scrolls hidden at home. Yet, even though life is tough, Weier and Aina have never thought about selling those scrolls.] [Ding! You have put the Dreamland Wand into your Dreamland Satchel.] [Weier was stunned for a second as the wand disappeared in your hand.] [Where did you make the wand disappear to?] [Ding! Weiers Confusion Value +30] [Weier spoke faintly, My childhood drawings and that wand, youve placed them somewhere too, havent you?] [You did not hide the truth: Yes.] [Is this your Mutation ability?] [No, its probably more like a built-in feature.] [Weier looked confused.] [Forget it. Weier relaxed her furrowed brows and said, Ill just trust you for now.] [Traveler, its time to extend an invitation.] [You spoke up, Things here will likely get messy, do you want to leave this place with me?] [Yes, yes!] [Little Aina agreed to your invitation without hesitation.] [Weiers eyes flickered for a moment, I cant leave just yet.] [Traveler, you know the reason Weier doesnt want to leave is probably related to her mothers disappearance.] [But you also know that if Cat Cat continues to investigate around Grey Stone Street, the outcome waiting for her will definitely not be good.] S~ea??h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [I know what youre worried about.] [Weier shook her head, saying bitterly, Even if we choose to leave now, we wont be able to reach a nearby city in a short time.] [Not to mention the Origin Disaster that will come tomorrow, the wilderness has already turned into the Snow Field. The nearest village is also more than a dozen kilometers away from here, well become prey for those Origin Beasts on the road.] [Besides, do you think if theyre really targeting me, leaving Grey Stone Street now would be useful?] [Sister Hearing this, Aina gripped Weiers hand tightly.] Chapter 60 - 60 60 Is this Cat-eared Girl becoming legal _1 ?Chapter 60: Chapter 60 Is this Cat-eared Girl becoming legal?! _1 Chapter 60: Chapter 60 Is this Cat-eared Girl becoming legal?! _1 [Aina whispered, Sister Weier, I also think its better for us to leave Winter City for now.] [Even young Aina knew they seemed to have been unwittingly caught up in a whirl, and Weier couldnt possibly be unaware of it.] [After tomorrow, Weier said after a long silence, seemingly having made a decision, after the locust plague tomorrow, well leave Grey Stone Street and go somewhere else.] [Traveler, you asked, Dont you want that heirloom from your mother thats in Rat King Nosss possession?] [Weier paused, then shook her head, Lets not take it for now. Although I really dont want to suspect Uncle Noss, my intuition tells me that he might have some direct connection with my mothers disappearance.] [Speaking of which, why am I being targeted by the people from the Church of Truth? the cat-eared girl murmured to herself, unable to figure it out.] [Traveler, you asked, Is it possible that your mother left something behind in your house?] [Weier shook her head: Their obvious target is me, not the scrolls my mother left behind, and she never left anything on me.] [Traveler, you remembered what Rat King had said to you before you traveled back in time] [Theres no one who wants that child to grow up safe and healthy more than I do!] [The cat girl is now just under 16. Can a child really be considered grown up at 16?] [Note: Foolish Traveler, have you forgotten that the Dream World is different from your world?] Luo Xis mind stirred. [Traveler, you asked doubtfully, Are you coming of age in six days?] [Yes.] [The cat-eared girl was also puzzled, Is there a problem? Isnt the calculation of years different where you are? Here in the Shining Country, 410 days make a year, and youre of age at 16. In noble houses in the cities, a childs coming of age is celebrated with a grand banquet.] [Aina counted on her fingers, Aina just turned 13 last month too, and its still a long way to my next birthday.] [Traveler, after doing some quick calculations, your Shock Value +50!] [Note: Suspicious Loli-con Traveler, what are you feeling right now, happiness, ecstasy, or depression and disinterest?] [Note: But no worries, even if Cat Cat is no longer your type, Little Wolf Girl still is, and a legal Lolita is even better, isnt it?] Luo Xi: I curse your unscrupulous text, dont interrupt at critical moments, and two messages in a row! [Traveler, you tried to steer Weiers thoughts, Have you considered why they would choose to act against you now after three years of having plenty of opportunities?] [Weier furrowed her brows, Because after I come of age, he can get something from me?] [Traveler, you too have no idea, as the information you currently hold is extremely limited.] [It cant really be that Rat King Noss is a principled Loli-con with such an absurd idea, right?] [Note: Garbage Traveler, dont assume everyone is like you!] Speaking of which, that Rat King is really composed. It was only tonights unexpected event that made him slightly flustered when Luo Xi told him that Weier was missing. But Rat King quickly regained his composure and then dispatched him with a single sword strike. From this, it can be deduced that at least openly, Rat King and the person behind tonights incident are on the same side. But Luo Xi couldnt imagine what they could need Weier for. Theres too much missing information. [Traveler, you feel your mind becoming increasingly muddled. The excessive physical and mental strain is making you very tired.] [Weier, seeing your expression was off, said, Tired? Then go back and sleep first. Ill take care of this dead body and then sleep.] [Traveler, you are indeed worried that they might return, but your current state doesnt allow you to push yourself further.] [You returned to your bedroom and fell into a deep sleep.] [You are fast asleep] Luo Xi yawned. He wanted to sleep too. But before going to sleep, there was something else he wanted to try. [Would you like to retrieve the Dream Staff to your physical bodys location?] [Yes] A white light enveloped Luo Xis hand, and in an instant, a staff about seventy centimeters long appeared with a bright purple gem embedded at its top. Not bad, weapons can indeed be taken out. He stuffed the staff back into his bag and buried his head to sleep. Until the arrival of daytime. Sunlight fell on his head through the gaps in the window. When Luo Xi opened his eyes, his two roommates were still sound asleep. He felt like he had seen this scene many times before. He reached for his phone. 10:31. He had slept in a bit late. He unlocked the screen, Dawn start. Luo Xis heartbeat quickened. He hoped that after last nights crisis, Cat Cat hadnt encountered any more danger. The worst part of this game was that when he logged out, his in-game self could barely move and wasnt aware of what was happening outside, and he didnt know when the reminder function would be updated.

[Traveler, you crawled out of bed] [You saw that your clothes from yesterday were neatly placed next to your blanket] [Traveler, you dressed yourself and went to the bedroom door, opening it] [However, there was no one in the living room] [Traveler, you yelled out, Weier, Aina? Where are you?] [After a few shouts, squeakthe door of the next bedroom opened, revealing the sleepy and messy face of the cat-eared girl who said impatiently, What are you yelling for? Aina and I are still sleeping. We all went to bed so late last night and were so tired, cant you let us sleep in a bit during the day?] [The door was closed by Cat Cat] [Traveler, you felt a bit more at ease] [But, wasnt what Cat Cat just said a bit strange?] [Whats with the so tired, as if you did something?] [Note: You suspicious pervert with a head full of dirty thoughts, its obviously you whos the weird one!] Luo Xi: If the two of them dont want to get up, then what should he do now? As the idea popped into his head, the text on the screen refreshed. [Traveler, thinking to yourself, since both beast-eared lolitas are not planning to wake up, perhaps this morning you can try, alone, to search Grey Stone Street for more information regarding Weier, Aina, and their mother Liya] [You straightened out your outfit and jumped out the front door onto the living room floor] [Traveler, you stepped into snow that was about one meter thick] [The snowfall was still relentless, with no sign of stopping. Some residents couldnt bear the snow accumulated in front of their doors and started to shovel it away, piling it in the middle of the road, braving the biting wind] [This caused Grey Stone Street to have a scene resembling small snow mounds at regular intervals] [Traveler, you saw a Horned Aunt shoveling snow, and you walked over to her to inquire about Weiers family] [Ding! Horned Aunts Alertness Value towards you +50] [The aunt raised her shovel suspiciously and asked, What are you planning to do to those two girls?] [Note: Its just a little loli abduction~] Chapter 61 - 61 61 Strange Strategy Route Appears_1 ?Chapter 61: Chapter 61 Strange Strategy Route Appears_1 Chapter 61: Chapter 61 Strange Strategy Route Appears_1 Horned Aunt holds a shovel and sharply says to you, Dont think that just because those two girls are alone and vulnerable you can bully them as you please. The Black Snake who bullied them the day before yesterday is now hanging outside the Snake and Rat Meetings main gate!'' Traveler, you immediately express that you are the one who took down Black Snake. The aunts expression pauses, and she puts down her shovel, sizing you up. Can you take off your hat? That night, I saw from upstairs, the person fighting Black Snake also had horned mutation characteristics on their head. After you take off your hat, the aunts expression immediately relaxes. Ding! The aunts favorability towards you +40 Ding! The aunts favorability towards you +20 Current favorability level of the aunt towards you: 60 (Handsome, strong, promising young man) Note: Who would have thought, you garbage Traveler, not only do you attract cute little Lolitas but also older aunts. Perhaps youd like to try a different route of conquest? Luo Xi: Im not trying to test anything here! I never expected that person to be you. Are you living at Weiers place now?'' The aunts demeanor changed completely from before, Come inside my house, young man. Its not the place to talk outside. Ive been living here for almost twenty years. I remember some things about before and after Liya arrived. If you want to know, we can talk it over slowly. Traveler, you nod and follow the aunt into her house. Note: Traveler, youve entered the aunts wonderful house~ Luo Xi: (৥) The comments in this text are getting weirder and weirder. The aunts house is empty, not even proper furniture in sight. She brought over a stool from another room for you to sit on. After a while, a refreshing scent drifts over, and the aunt comes over with a pot of tea and a teacup. She pours you a cup of tea, the tea leaves inside a species youve never seen before, looking like small pieces of tree leaves. My spouse passed away early, this is tea he left behind. I thought I might never finish it all before I died. Traveler, you ask, Dont you have any children? There was a daughter, but she married far away, rarely returning even once in years. The aunt chuckles softly, That Bastard Black Snake has been oppressing us for a long time. Young man, you avenged us. If Liyanas place is not good to live, you can also stay with me. You say, I already have a place to live. Horned Aunt smiles contently, Thats good then. Those two children have had it hard. After Liya left, I actually wanted to adopt them if they were willing. Traveler, you feel the kindness of this world once more. Just as there is darkness where there is light, even in the filthiest environments, there are those who stick to their own bottom line. Traveler, you once again voice the purpose of your visit. Can you tell me about Liya and her daughter? Of course. Horned Aunt moves a stool and sits across from you, a look of reminiscence flickering in her eyes. I remember, it must have been fifteen years ago? My daughter wasnt married then. Liya appeared here on Grey Stone Street with one-year-old Weier, buying a whole house with eight gold coins. However, she only lived on the third floor and let the first and second floors go to waste. No wonder the first two floors of Weiers house were unoccupied. Back then, Grey Stone Street wasnt what it is today. Snake and Rat Meeting wasnt the only big gang. Besides them, several other gangs were secretly competing for turf. Horned Aunt pauses and then continues, Liya was indeed a formidable woman. I dont know her true strength, but once, when a powerful Origin Beast went mad and kept attacking the edge covered by the Divine Tree Glory in Grey Stone Street, Liya just waved her staff casually and repelled the beast. It seems the residents of Grey Stone Street know something of Liyas strength, but not exactly how powerful she was. According to Weier, a Tier Four Skill Master corresponds to a Tier Four Origin Beast, and thats already above disaster-level, at the Lord-tier. Even if only just entering, there probably arent many in all of Winter City. If Liya was not caring for Weier and the city did not reject Mutant Patients, with her strength, Winter City would have been pleased to invite her to reside. Such a powerful person, why did she disappear without a trace? What exactly happened back then? What did Rat King Noss do? What role did he play in it? Horned Aunt slowly says, The remnants of the wind disaster ten years ago is an incident, Liya protected nearly thirty residents of Grey Stone Street. Others who lived a bit further away were blown away by the storm, never to return. Shes also my savior. Then, three years ago, Liya suddenly vanished one night and has not returned since. Silence settles in the living room. Liya was so formidable, theres no way she was killed by an Origin Beast in the wilderness! The aunt falls silent for a long time and then says angrily, It must have been the work of Snake and Rat Meeting! Ive long heard that Rat King had unsavory intentions towards Liya! She surely rejected him and was killed for it! emmm The reasons behind Weiers mothers disappearance are surely not that simple. But for someone like Horned Aunt, she only knows the side Liya showed to them, and the information she can provide is very limited. Afterwards, Horned Aunt shares some stories from when Weier and Aina were small, about Weier growing up, and Ainas later arrival, as well as how hard the two girls had it over the past three years. Traveler, you say, Thank you for that. The aunt smiles, No need to thank me. If this helps you win that childs affection, making her have favor towards you, then all the better. Luo Xi: No wonder the aunt was so eager; she thought I was after Cat Cat. Note: Pervert, suspicious Traveler, dont you have these thoughts? Not at all! Traveler, you thank the aunt and leave her home. Will you continue looking for someone to talk to on the street? Yes S~ea??h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

It looks like you really scared him off. Where could he possibly run off to? Weier said somewhat speechlessly, Maybe he just went out for a random stroll. You dont need to worry about him; that unlucky guy is tough. Hell come scurrying back in no time. But if Brother Luo Xi really leaves, then Aina wont have Halfway through her sentence, Ainas eyes shifted, and she changed her words, Then Aina will have to pick a new brother-in-law for you again, Sister. Its such a hassle. Weier: This silly little sister was just about to say she wouldnt have a husband anymore, wasnt she? What weird charm did that pervert pour into my silly little sisters head, to make Aina like him so much? However, if that guy really just left like that The Cat Cat suddenly fells into deep thought. A tinge of reluctance arose in Weiers heart. Even though they had only been together for a few days, even though she had scolded him this morning because she was grumpy from waking upyou sneaking away without saying goodbye, isnt that a bit callous? Weiers cat ears and tail drooped quietly as she pretended not to care and said: Im off to cook, if that guy left, then he left. Today I wanted to make a good meal, and now theres going to be one less portion; thats quite nice. Aina turned and humphed, Sister Weier, youre being insincere again. Certainly not! /// [Traveler, after wandering outside for quite some time, youve begun to feel a bit hungry since you havent eaten breakfast before heading out.] [Return home?] [Yes] Luo Xi sighed. The plan to gather information about the Liya family from the nearby neighborhood had failed. [Traveler, as you climb back to the doorfront of Weiers house using the rope, you smell the fragrance of food coming from inside the house.] [Todays meal seems different, not the tasteless sweet potatoes youre used to.] [Traveler, you knock on the door lightly and then open it.] [Ah?! Little Aina turns her head on the sofa and, seeing that its you, the Traveler, exclaims in surprise, Brother Luo Xi! Aina thought you left on your own this morning because Sister scolded you and you were angry!] [Note: How could such a garbage Traveler sneak away? After all, you havent kidnapped these two adorable beast-eared girls yet.] Shut up! [Traveler, you tell Aina that you were just taking a stroll nearby.] [I told you, he couldnt have gone far with this ghostly weather; he would only take a casual stroll outside.] [From the kitchen, Weier sticks her head out, complaining, Today was supposed to be a good day to eat, but instead of sitting there nagging on the sofa, Aina, you might as well come over and give your sister a hand.] [The cat-eared girl seems relaxed on the surface, but, Traveler, you see the hint of relief on the girls face.] [Maybe the Cat Cat also didnt want you to leave quietly, did she?] [Note: High favorability means you can do whatever you want! As long as you, the damn Traveler, can overcome this crisis and crush that Rat King and all, these two beast-eared girls will be yours!

And it sure types away so nonchalantly. The power of Rat King Nos is just too overpowering. Luo Xi was unclear about what level the Rat King was, but from the previous time-loop experience, if Nos really wanted to kill him, he was pretty much capable of doing it instantly. The other one hidden behind the scenes, probably someone from the Church of Truth, since he could stand toe to toe with the Rat King, must be of a similar level of existence. To find a way among these powerful beings, a path that allows this cat-eared girl to reach a happy end, safe and sound. Looking back now, it indeed appears to be a daunting and arduous journey. Suddenly, a message popped up on the screen. [Traveler, having learned of the difficulties, will you choose to give up?] Thats of course not happening! Having already fallen deep into this pit, Luo Xi was now impossible to back down. Not just for those two cute beast-eared girls but also for himself. Since childhood, how many times had he chosen to flee when faced with difficulties? Ordinary people always feel anxious about the future, fearing that things wont turn out as they wish, and thus continually choose to numb themselves by running away. Luo Xi was no different. He tried to change, but sometimes he would suddenly wake up in the night, panicked and anxious, realizing his own powerlessness. Yet even so, now he wanted to act according to his thoughts and do what he wanted to do. And what he wanted to do at the moment was [Traveler, you really want to pet Ainas wolf ears and tail right now, feeling the urge to bury your hands in that soft, fluffy tail and listen~] Stop, stop, stop! [Note: Trashy traveler, dont think that by engaging in some pseudo-deep thinking, you can hide your true nature as a lolicon!] Luo Xi: Damn text, come out here, I promise I wont punch you in the face! [Aina responded to her sisters call to go help in the kitchen.] [Traveler, you didnt get to pet the big tail and sat on the sofa somewhat dejected, picking up a book to read.] [You are learning] [Its estimated that you will complete the basic task: Acquisition of Knowledge (I) in 9 hours.] [Traveler, you happily started reading the book.] Luo Xi nodded contentedly. Indeed, studying is the real deal! [After you rapidly finished half the book, Weier and Aina brought up the already prepared meals from the kitchen.] [On the dining table, several bowls were filled with different dishes, the staple food was still steamed sweet potatoes, but the side dishes had some new variations.] [Although there was no meat, the style of the side dishes was still not bad, you couldnt recognize what they were, but it was clear they were meticulously made by the cat-eared girl.] [Ding! Your Hunger Value +10.] [Come and eat, after we finish our meal well go to the Deep Alley Workshop to buy some things, and then according to the previous plan, well enter Winter City at night and find a safe place to hide for a day.] [Weier gave you a sidelong glance, pulling out a chair for you to come and sit.] [Traveler, you took a bite.] [Your Happiness Level +10.] [Weiers cooking is really good. As long as she has the ingredients, she can make anything delicious.] [Little Aina, while eating, looked up at you with her tea-gold-colored big eyes, expectantly saying, So Brother Luo Xi, are you moved?] [What moved or not moved?] [Weier is visibly confused.] [This pure cat cat obviously has no idea that her good little sister is trying all means to sell her off again.] [Note: Traveler, being moved isnt as good as moving into action, and this is a cat-eared girl who can cook!] Chapter 65 - 65 65 Let me go in and check first_1 ?Chapter 65: Chapter 65 Let me go in and check first_1 Chapter 65: Chapter 65 Let me go in and check first_1 Essence Power Armor? Luo Xis gaze swept over the line of text. Was it the kind of power armor he was thinking of? The very cool kind that you could wear all over, and then operate? [Traveler, the nearby workshop guide saw you standing here for quite some time and came over with a smile, Hello sir, this is a non-sale exhibit our boss uses for display. Although its power core has been damaged, the frame alone is very imposing. Our boss spent a thousand gold coins to acquire it from an auction in the black market inside Winter City.] [I see.] [Traveler, upon hearing the price, you nod and prepare to leave and continue browsing.] [Sir, please wait a moment.] [The guide, seeing that you wanted to leave, hurriedly called out to stop you.] [The thing is, sir, business has been really bad for the workshop lately, and our boss is having some financial difficulties. If you want to buy this armor now, I can take the initiative to give you a 20% discount. It would only cost you eight hundred gold coins.] [The guide went on and on, Look how handsome this power armor is, with its exposed mechanical parts and pipes, fully showcasing the wild style of the era from eighty years ago when various nations first developed this series of weapons. If you take it home and put it in your house, it will definitely be impressive and add to your face!] Luo Xi: Where would he get that much money? Speaking of which, he still owed Cat Cat a whole hundred gold coins. [Traveler, seeing that youre not interested, the guide quickly says, How about 30% off then? If you still think thats expensive, 50% off can also work. Thats the lowest our boss will go!] Miss guide, you are not quite right. Why does it feel like youre treating him like a sucker? [Traveler, you say, I dont have that much money.] [The guide, taken aback, asks, Arent you from Winter City?] [She looks you up and down, a slight doubt in her eyes, but that doubt disappears when she sees the timid Little Wolf Girl behind you.] [Who from the rich city folk would get so close to Mutant Patients?] [Note: Poor traveler, because of your scant attire in this freezing weather, the guide mistook you for a wealthy man from the city, not expecting you to be a true pauper.] Fxxk, is it a crime to be poor?! [The guide looked at your face and asked softly, Sir, do you also live on Grey Stone Street?] [Yes. Traveler, you slightly lifted your hat.] [Ding! The guides favorability towards you +50.] Luo Xi: Why would her favorability even increase? Is it because of looks? [Note: Although I would like to argue, Ill let it go this time.] [Traveler, you think for a moment and say, Can I try it on?] [Ah? Try it on? The guide pauses, You mean to actually get into it? But its already damaged] [You smile and say, Really not possible?] [Ding! The guides favorability towards you +6.] [The guide grudgingly says, If you just want to go in and have a look, that would be fine. The boss allows us to let customers take a look.] [As the guide opens the steel casing of the armor, Traveler, you see the interior of the power armor, with countless mechanisms and gear structures, the black parts, and steel pipes outline a space for a person to stand in, which seems very claustrophobic.] [Traveler, under the guides eager gaze, you step inside.] sea??h th Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [You feel the temperature of the hat on your head steadily rising.] [Ding! A hidden rune sequence within the Essence Furnace Core detects machinery that can be loaded.] [Would you like to attempt a match?] Luo Xi: ! An interesting development seemed to be coming. But this wasnt a good place to try; if he could buy this thing and take it home, it would be great, but unfortunately, he didnt have that much money. Should he ask Cat Cat for a loan? But could Cat Cat produce that many gold coins? [Traveler, you remember the Dreaming Wand you have, which Cat Cat mentioned to be worth at least 20,000 gold coins?] [If you sell it, you could definitely afford to buy the armor.] [After observing the inside for a while, you step out of the armor.] [The guide eagerly approaches and asks, Sir, how do you feel?] [Its quite nice; I want to buy it. Can you make it any cheaper?] [Yes, this imposing armor makes for a nice decoration The guide starts and looks up bewildered, What did you say?] [Aina blinked her tea gold eyes, and Little Wolf Girl too didnt understand why you would want to buy something so expensive and useless.] [Traveler, you repeated, I want to buy this. Can you make it any cheaper?] [The guide hesitantly said, But the boss said his bottom line was 500 gold coins] [10% off will do, no, young man, if youre interested in this big guy, then just take it away. I wont charge you a penny.] [Traveler, you, the guide, and Aina simultaneously turned to look towards the left.] [An elderly man with gray hair and feathers growing on his neck and hands hobbled toward you with a walking stick.] [The guide immediately went over and whispered, Alte, the owner of the workshop, what brings you here?] [Ding! Talent: Repulsion of the Same Sex has been triggered; the old mans favorability towards you -50.] [The current favorability of the old man towards you is: -20 (Initially thought you were alright, now for some odd reason, feels like punching you.)] Luo Xi: [Just taking a stroll since I had nothing better to do.] [The old man smiled at you, Traveler, holding back the sudden urge to punch you, and said amicably, Young man, the origins of this power armor are not as complex as Zeli described. It is a prototype Essence Power Armor handcrafted by an old friend of mine seventy years ago.] [Since its creation, it battled in the wilderness for decades, and finally, due to the complete destruction of its power core circuitry, it was retired by my friend and then gifted to me. I originally planned to rebuild an Essence Power Core for it, but its just too expensive, and even if this old antique could move again, it probably wouldnt last long before falling apart.] [Then why do you say you want to give it to me] [You might not believe what Im about to say. The old man raised his hand, showing the calluses on his palm, pointed to his ear, and laughed, Ive been a blacksmith all my life, and sometimes I can hear the voices of objects. Though I dont know why, its telling me right now that it wants to go with you.] Luo Xi: [Traveler, you didnt know what to say.] [However, since the kind man is offering it for free, you, Traveler, wont be too modest.] [Then thank you very much, Mr. Alte.] [No need to thank me. The old man laughed like a mischievous child, The thing is yours now, but how you get it back home is something youll have to figure out. I hope its choice isnt wrong.] Chapter 66 - 66 66 Lolita Kidnapping Guidebook_1 ?Chapter 66: Chapter 66 Lolita Kidnapping Guidebook_1 Chapter 66: Chapter 66 Lolita Kidnapping Guidebook_1 [Brother Luo Xi, is this thing useful?] [Little Aina doesnt understand why you, Traveler, suddenly acquired such a big iron shell.] [You say, Well talk about whether its useful later, first lets figure out how to get this thing back home.] [Luo Xi, come help move this stuff.] [Traveler, you heard Cat Cat calling you.] [The old man gently smiled and said, Its fine, you go ahead, Ill ask a few people to move the armor outside the door first.] [Traveler, you walked over to the counter and noticed a box on the ground filled with all kinds of goods.] [Weier put down a package, got up and tidied her cascading snow-white hair, then turned to look at you and said, Luo Xi, what weapons can you use? You can pick any one you like in the workshop, as long as it doesnt exceed two gold coins.] Weapons? Luo Xi hadnt thought about what weapon he should use. Ever since becoming a so-called Mutant Patient, in the game, he had always fought others with his fists. Moreover, as someone who grew up in a peaceful era and a college student, he didnt know how to use swords and blades. But he was also curious about what weapons were like in the Dream world. So just pick any randomly. [Traveler, having heard what Cat Cat said, you went to the workshops shelves and chose an eight-forged steel machete valued at 1.8 gold coins.] [Eight-forged steel machete] [Quality: Green (Excellent)] [Category: Common weapons] [Attributes: Damage +10300 (Different damage bonuses are obtained depending on which body part is hit)] [Description: This is the meticulous work of a blacksmith, capable of beheading an enemys dog head with a single chop; under great strength, miracles are sure to happen!] [Weier glanced at you and said irritably, You really know how to pick, remember, you now owe me two more gold coins.] [Traveler, you convey that being in bigger debt isnt a concern; the problem isnt serious anyway.] [Alright, weve bought enough stuff for now, lets head back. Uncle Bear, were leaving.] [Take care, welcome to come again.] [Traveler, you stopped Cat Cat and said, Wait, I also have something else to take back.] [Weier was startled, What thing?] S~ea??h the Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Then the young girl saw the scene of the three-meter-high giant armor, which five people were slowly pushing out of the depths of the workshop on a four-wheeled low bed cart.] [Weier looked astounded, Dont tell me, thats the thing you want to take back? How much did you buy it for? No way, you meow have money?] [Aina spoke softly, Sister Weier, that was given to Brother Luo Xi by the old gentleman.] [The old gentleman?] [Lek was also somewhat surprised, he laughed and said, That thing has been sitting in the workshop for several years, I didnt expect Alte, the workshop master, to actually be willing to give it away. Although it cant move, taking it back home and using it to scare people might be quite nice.] [Cat Cat was speechless, not knowing what use this thing would be when brought back home, and besides, wasnt the plan to beat a hasty retreat tomorrow?] [Forget it, lets move on, you deal with this thing yourself.] [Traveler, Weier and Aina carried the box together, while you alone dragged the giant armor placed on the sled, leaving the Deep Alley Workshop in the snowy wind.] .. After Luo Xi and the others left, the female instructor and the old man looked at their figures in the snowy wind. Master Alte, why did you give that to him? That was your earliest work, as I recall you said you wanted to keep it as a memento. Even if you were short of money recently and wanted to sell it, you had mentioned planning to sell it for at least 500 gold coins. Because I truly heard a faint voice. The old man smiled benevolently, Flawless pure Essence can endow non-life with spirit, which is also why the same standard equipment can improve or degrade in quality over time with the users frequent use. Although that powered armor has not yet birthed a soul, the years it had spent accompanying several masters to war have also imbued it with a trace of spirit. This trace of spirit cant bear to stay in a forgotten corner collecting dust, so it begged me, its creator. The female instructor asked curiously, What did it beg for? The old mans smile faded, and he slowly said, It said it wanted to perish in the most brilliant blaze of glory. .. [You are in the middle of hauling goods] [Would you like to speed up?] [Yes] x30. [Ten minutes later, you finally dragged that heavy thing back under Weiers place, where the two beast-eared lolitas had already returned home.] [But how are you going to get this thing upstairs?] [You fell into deep thought.] [Why not try stowing it in the Dreamworld Pack?] [Traveler, you are attempting to collect armor.] [Ding! Collection failed, insufficient space in the Dreamworld Pack.] Luo Xi: Speaking of which, this Dreamworld Pack really is too small, with just one cubic meter of space that cant fit anything slightly bigger. Is there a way to upgrade it? [Friendly Reminder: Upgrading the Dreamworld Pack to lv2 requires 1,000 pounds of Essence Crystals.] Essence Crystals? Cat Cat seemed to have said that a pound of Essence Crystal is worth 10 gold coins Fxxk, is this thing really such a gold digger? Would the purified Essence on that magic wand work? As the idea popped into his head, the text appeared on the screen at the same time. [Traveler, do you want to use the purified Essence on the Dreamwander Staff to upgrade your Dreamworld Pack? Upgradable to LV2: 3x3x3, estimated to consume half of the high-energy Yuan Su contained in the purified Essence.] [Yes/No] [Friendly Reminder: If you choose to perform the upgrade in this manner, the quality and attributes of the Dreamwander Staff will decrease or become damaged.] Luo Xi hesitated for a moment. He wasnt a Skill Practitioner and couldnt use that wand for now, so it might as well be converted into strength. [Yes] [Upgrading] [Traveler, your Dreamworld Pack has been upgraded to Lv2: 3x3x3. The next upgrade will require 10,000 pounds of Essence Crystals.] [Note: Poor beggar Traveler, dont whale anymore, you cant afford this thing.] [Ding! Your Dreamwander Staffs attribute bonuses have decreased.] [At that moment, Weier called out to you from upstairs, What are you spacing out for down there, you dummy?] [Aina also popped her head out and shouted, Brother Luo Xi, hurry up and come up!] [Traveler, you looked around at your surroundings, realizing there was no one nearby; everyone probably went back home to escape the cold.] [Do you want to store the [Essence Power Armor C Prototype] in your Dreamworld Pack?] [Yes] [Under the shocked gaze of Cat Cat and Little Wolf Girl, the colossal armor transformed into a streak of light and vanished into your hand.] [Ding! Weiers Shock Value towards you +50] [Ding! Ainas Shock Value towards you +50] [Traveler, you nonchalantly went upstairs, taking in Weier and Ainas shocked and astonished gazes, and calmly said, Ive told you, it can fit as much as there is. By the way, is there a place here for me to store that armor?] [Ding! Your Happiness Level +10] [Note: Pathetic Traveler, theres no use showing off in front of two cute beast-eared lolitas.] [Weier replied somewhat helplessly, Later, just lay that thing down sideways on the living room floor.] [Aina clapped her hands together cheerfully and exclaimed, Brother Luo Xi is so awesome! Does this mean we could be merchants in the future, storing goods inside Brother Luo Xis pack, then travel everywhere to sell them for profits from the price differences between cities? We could make a lot of money! Aina heard that spices from the Da Yan Empire in the east could sell for at least a hundred times their price here!] Luo Xi: Good grief, an Otherworld version of Spice and Wolf? But if I really could travel all around this world, I could write a travelogue; if its released as a book, it might just become a bestseller. [Note: Wretched Traveler, how about naming the travelogue, The Lolita Kidnapping Guide Manual?] Luo Xi: o(󨋥;)o! Chapter 67 - 67 67 Poor Little Mouse _1 ?Chapter 67: Chapter 67: Poor Little Mouse! _1 Chapter 67: Chapter 67: Poor Little Mouse! _1 [Weier moved a box out of the room, I want to test out your storage ability.] [The box was filled with various books, all brought up from that small room] [Cat Cat looked at you and said, Can you try to put these things away?] [Traveler, you touched the box] [Would you like to store the box in your Dreamland Bag?] [Yes] Sar?h the N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Stored] [Weier and Aina watched as the box before them suddenly disappeared; the two Lolitas exchanged glances, with the playful hearts of girls rising, they each went back to fetch more items] This thing can be taken out again, right? Luo Xi opened the screens bag section and tapped on the newly added box in the bag. [Would you like to retrieve the box to your current position, Traveler?] [Yes] Luo Xi found his hand emitting a brilliant white light, he glanced at his two roommates still sound asleep, showing no signs of waking up, so he got out of bed and aimed his palm at the ground. After a dazzling flash, an antique wooden box appeared on the floor. Luo Xi opened the box. The books, emitting a strange aura, appeared before his eyes. [Traveler, Weier and Aina have brought you a lot of things to store] [After witnessing your silent storage of items, they both seemed to have become excited] [Cat Cat stared at you with a curious and eager gaze, What exactly is this ability? Ive never heard of a Mutant Factor that can store things. Where did these items go? And you, who just stepped into Transcendence with the help of a Mutant Factor, how could you possibly have this level of Mutation ability? Where exactly are you from?] [Aina also tilted her little head, speaking like an old soul, Brother Luo Xi, confess the truth!] [Would you like to reveal your true identity to Weier and the others?] Can I even tell them? [Gentle Reminder: The Great Will has not restricted you from disclosing your identity to others, Traveler can consider at their own discretion] Luo Xi hesitated for a moment. Its okay to tell them, theyll find out sooner or later anyway. [Traveler, you said, I am a traveler from another world, I dont actually belong to this world, so if I die, I wont truly die.] [Ding! Weiers dissatisfaction with you +19] [Ding! Ainas dissatisfaction with you +15] [After hearing your explanation, Weier and Aina both looked at you unhappily, Weier snorted coldly, while Aina pouted and sat on the sofa, ignoring you] Luo Xi: The typical nobody believes the truth series. [Traveler, you didnt know how else to explain, since you couldnt just end yourself to prove it to them, and there was no need for that at the moment] [Weier casually asked, Can your ability store living things too?] [Traveler, upon hearing Cat Cats words, a thought occurred to you] [Using the Dreamland Bag to contain living things?] [While you have never tried it before, the idea seemed rather interesting] [If living things could be placed into the Dreamland Bag, then it meant that these two beast-eared Lolitas could come to your world] [Note: Garbage Traveler, then what, once the two beast-eared Lolitas are in your world, what do you want to do?] [Obviously, its to pick them up and pet them vigorously] Damn Text, dont lead the topic astray! [Traveler, with an idea in mind, before trying it on Weier and the others, you must first test with other living creatures] [But in the middle of winter, where would you find other creatures to catch? Not even a mouse is in sight] [Squeak squeak squeak] [Traveler, you hear the sound of a mouse coming from inside the walls] Luo Xi: Mice, these nuisances are truly everywhere. [Traveler, you look towards Weier and ask with a strange look from the girl, Cat Cat, can you catch mice?] [Weier: ?? ??] [Ding! Weiers Anger Value +30] [Cat Cats fur bristled, Scram! Im not Cat Cat! Nor do I catch mice!] [Traveler, despite your many explanations, Weier still caught the mouse hiding in the crevice of the wall for you.] [You touch the mouses body.] [Warm Reminder: The Dreamland Bag can only contain living creatures that are utterly defenseless.] [Would you like to store mouse in the Dreamland Bag?] [Yes] [Stored] [Would you like to retrieve the mouses corpse to your physical location, Traveler?] [Yes] [Note: Poor little mouse~] Luo Xi looked at the mouses corpse taken out on the ground and fell into thought. Although this experiment wasnt successful, it wasnt a complete failure either. At least it proved that the Dreamland Bag could indeed take in living creatures. Its just that the living creatures would turn into dead ones. He tapped the phone screen. With a flash of white light, the mouses corpse and the box both instantly disappeared. [Traveler, you take out the mouses corpse and tell Weier that the idea of collecting living creatures failed.] [Weier doesnt seem surprised, but she is still somewhat regretful.] [She says, What a pity. If your storage skill could contain living creatures, we could stash Aina away in critical moments to keep her out of danger.] [Note: Indeed a pity. Otherwise, Traveler, you could have experienced the joy of carrying a beast-eared Lolita with you.] [After Cat Cats experiment ended, she moved the sofa and other things away, giving you space to place the armor.] [Traveler, would you like to deploy the Essence Power Armor?] [Yes] [Light emanates from your hands. You touch the floor, and the light spreads with your gaze. After the light fades, the massive power armor lies in the center of the living room.] [Aina blinks curiously and asks, Brother Luo Xi, why is this thing so big? Can it really be operated by a person?] [Weier kneels down to touch the armors shell and also wonders, Why bring it back here? Power armor that cant move is just a big lump of scrap metal. No, you might as well use it as a coffin.] Luo Xi: Since when did this haughty Cat Cat acquire a poison-tongued trait? [Traveler, you say, Hold on, let me check it out inside.] [Traveler, you open the armors hatch, revealing its steampunk interior, and lie in the central cavity.] [Little Wolf Girl and Cat Cat lean over you on both sides, like surgeons performing an operation on you.] [Note: Traveler, youre awake now, and you are a cute girl.] [Ding! The hidden rune sequence inside the Yuan Su Furnace Core detects mechanical devices that can be loaded.] [Would you like to attempt synchronization?] [Yes] With the trump card of Moonflows retrospection, Luo Xi can boldly undertake such experiments. [Synchronizing] [Ding! The device detected is not a Rune-made object, with only a 28% compatibility rate. Would you like to load it into the Yuan Su Furnace Core? (Can be removed at any time)] Luo Xi frowned. [Yes] [Traveler, you seem to have lost the hat on your head.] [Bang!] [The armors hatch suddenly slams shut.] [Aina, who was left outside, is startled and yells out Brother Luo Xi!] Chapter 68 - 68 68 Does Aina want to come in and play with ?Chapter 68: Chapter 68: Does Aina want to come in and play with big brother~? _1 Chapter 68: Chapter 68: Does Aina want to come in and play with big brother~? _1 [In that instant, Weier made a motion to fish you out, but she eventually stopped, believing you wouldnt be foolish enough to court death] [Traveler, you have fallen into a pitch-black environment, surrounded by the smell of rust and engine oil] [Ding! Traveler, you have triggered a special dream synchronization state, which cannot be canceled. Duration: 10 minutes, and it does not occupy your usual dream synchronization module usage time] [Welcome to the journey of dreams~] Fuck, can we not be so sudden?! Luo Xi forced himself to walk a few steps and sat down on a stool, then his head thudded onto the table, joining his two roommates once again in slumber. /// Luo Xi opened his eyes, and at the same time, amidst the darkness, it seemed like many noisy sounds began to rise from the depths of his consciousness. Hello, from now on, we are comrades in battle, how about I give you a name? How about Spark?This was a young mans voice. Damn Origin Beast swarm! Its relentless. Ill cover the rear, you guys hurry up and retreat!This was the voice of a somewhat mature uncle. Kid, from now on, itis yours.These were the uncles last words. Spark, from now on I will pilot you. I will carry on Uncles will and slaughter all the Origin Beasts!a youthful and clear voice firmly rang out. Some people want me to swap out Spark for a more advanced power armor. Theyre just being armchair experts; where am I supposed to get that kind of money? Besides, I dont want to exchange it. Upgrading it would be possible, but sadly, mithril is too expensive.the voice of the grown-up young man murmured softly. We will not let you advance one more step; our protectees are right behind us! Power furnace, overload ignition!the young man roared. Mr. Alte, Im returning Spark to you. If it stays with me,it would eventually be taken apart and disassembled. Everyone thinks its not worth rebuilding its power core, and some have even eyed the bit of mithril it contains, so Im giving it back to you.the mature young man spoke as such. .. After the multitude of noisy voices, Luo Xi seemed to hear a sound coming from a faraway place, low and gentle. Inside this armor, there appeared to be a will calling out to him. Blurry and unclear, yet a real presence. As the temperature gradually rose, Luo Xi felt the inner structures of the armor begin to move slowly, conforming to his arms, legs, perfectly enveloping his body as if he had entered a warm nest. In front of Luo Xi, lines of game text floated past. [Yuan Su Furnace Core loading completed (Current Yuan Su reserves can last for: 15 minutes)] [Mithril mechanism operating normally] [Visual/Perception/Limb/Spirit synchronization modules operating normally] S~ea??h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Essence Power ArmorPrototype, has completed its reboot] The pitch darkness before his eyes faded away, and sounds and light re-entered his sight. Two little Lolitas with beast ears were staring at him wide-eyed, with a direct gaze from above. Luo Xi tried to get up. Thereupon, he saw the armors knees bend slightly. Luo Xi was suddenly stunned. Is he still inside the power armor? Why can he see the outside scenery so clearly? Why are his limb movements and thoughts synchronized with the armor? Virtual projection? AR? VR? Does this world have such advanced technology? Clearly, electricity hasnt been developed here, but theyve managed to come up with such black tech, isnt that a bit far-fetched? Is it because of a different underlying energy system? Luo Xi tried again, wanting to move his hands. As a result, the right hand of the armor suddenly lifted, scaring the Little Wolf Girl standing by, making her tail stand on end. Weier hurriedly shouted, Dont move! That thing is too heavy; if it starts moving, our house will be gone! Luo Xi: . He wondered, could he get out? Accompanied by his thoughts, what seemed like steam hissing sounds emerged, and the structure enveloping his body slowly parted, returning his field of vision to darkness. Clack The cabin doors creaked open to both sides. Luo Xi lay inside, looking at the two Beast-Eared Girls who were clearly still dumbfounded, and the three of them stayed bewildered together for quite a while. Then he chuckled and said, Do you want to come in and play? It feels pretty interesting. [Note: Squeezing into a cockpit with Cat Cat and Little Wolf Girl? What do you intend to do while taking advantage of the situation, you suspicious pervert Traveler?!] What the heck, you shameless text, youre the one thats more perverted and suspicious than me! Ainas tea gold eyes shone brightly, Yes! Aina wants to come in and play with Brother! The Little Wolf Girl pounced towards Luo Xi. Weier caught her foolish little sisters collar in midair, looking down at you from a height, frowning and asking, How did you make it move? Luo Xi sat up straight, patted his now empty hair, and said, The hat, it seems to be able to take the place of an energy core. Meow? Weier was a bit puzzled, then, with a face full of shock, said, You mean the hat that was formed from the scroll? The scroll drawn by my mother actually has this function? Hmm. Luo Xi bowed his head and patted the still slightly vibrating armor. Give me back the hat first Spark, thats your name, right? After about half a minute, the armor seemed reluctantly to spit out a ball of light, the densely packed runes flowing and reconstructing, transforming back into a hat and falling into Luo Xis hands. The armor once again returned to silence. This power armor wasnt good to test in this place, and he also wanted to keep the armor as a trump card, so he decided not to use it for now. Luo Xi pointed to the armor beneath him and asked, Cat Cat, do you know how this armors field of vision and perception of limbs are synchronized? Weier held her chin and thought for a moment, then said, Inside the power armor, theres a kind of metal called Mithril. This metal can extend peoples perception, synchronize with machinery, making the armor feel like an extra body. Luo Xi asked, Mithril? Is it a natural metal? Weier shook her head and said, Mithril is a metal, but its not natural. It can only be born through the craftsmens forging process, relying on personal perception and skill to guide ordinary metal to transform. Thats why each high-level craftsmans work is highly sought after because their creations have a soul. Stop chatting you two! Aina, hanging midair, kicked her little legs and waved her little hands with a pained expression, saying, Weier sister, let Aina down quickly! Oh, oh. After Weier put Aina down, she saw her little sister run behind Luo Xi, making a woeful little face. Brother Luo Xi, Weier sister always restricts my freedom! Please tell her off for me! Luo Xi responded without thinking, Bad Cat Cat, dont bully Aina. What are you guys talking about! A few p symbols suddenly appeared above Cat Cats head. This foolish sister is as good as having been raised in vain for so many years! Chapter 69 - 69 69 Cat Cat and Little Wolf Girls Personal ?Chapter 69: Chapter 69: Cat Cat and Little Wolf Girls Personal Items Get_1 Chapter 69: Chapter 69: Cat Cat and Little Wolf Girls Personal Items Get_1 Weier hummed and said, Youre quite lucky. Even within Winter City, its said that there are not many power armors available. A functioning suit of armor, even an outdated model like this, is a rare find indeed. Luo Xi lowered his head, stroked the metal of the armor, and suddenly asked: If I wear this power armor, can I beat the Rat King? Cat Cat didnt even have to think before replying, Youre dreaming. This type of cumbersome personal power armor was initially designed to combat Origin Beasts. Uncle Noss has at least the strength of a Third-tier Mutated Transcender, which is comparable to the strength of a disaster-class Origin Beast. Lets not talk about your old, tattered goods; even with the latest model of power armor, with your current Tier-zero strength, you couldnt possibly defeat a Third-tier Transcendent. Luo Xi: It seems that the idea of brute-forcing his way through challenges with high-level equipment can be discarded now. Thinking about it, if the opponent sees you coming in such a heavy piece of equipment, they would definitely run, and you wouldnt be able to catch up. If they dont run, then you need to seriously consider how youre going to die. Weier observed Luo Xis expression, smiled, and comforted him: But since youre able to store it, our success rate in leaving Grey Stone Street and heading to other major cities has increased a lot. The biggest criticism of this kind of power armor is that they cant easily be used for combat outside because they are too difficult to move. Thats not a problem for you, though. Luo Xi nodded. That being the case, if other players manage to get their hands on something like this and conceal it in their expanded space, they would be able to take it out anytime, anywhere. It looks like Ill need to be cautious around strangers who dont carry anything. Who knows what they might be hiding in their inventory space. Luo Xi pressed the hat back onto his head. The forms of the two Lolitas with beast ears in front of him gradually became blurred. [This synchronization session has ended.] [Looking forward to seeing you again~] Afterward, Luo Xi opened his eyes at the table. The text on his phone screen was still displaying normally. Having gotten used to the alternation between Dream world and reality, he found himself oddly feeling like he was playing a fully immersive game that only exists in sci-fi games. [Weier asks you, When can you take all the stuff from your house? I thought you couldnt store much, but now it looks like you could move everything out.] Luo Xi pondered for a moment. In any case, I need to rent a place first. Who knows what they will stuff in there, and given my current situation, it really isnt suitable to stay on campus anymore. [Traveler, you say, Give me an afternoon.] [Weier nods and says, Does using your storage ability take time? No worries, as long as its done before midnight, you can rest for now.] [You indicate that you dont need to rest and pick up a book to start reading again.] [Basic Quest: Acquisition of Knowledge (1) is in progress] While his character was occupied with reading and quests, Luo Xi glanced at his still sleeping roommates, then left campus with a small backpack. Sar?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Since he had money in hand, renting a house wasnt an issue. The house didnt need to be too luxurious; he just needed a space to himself. Luo Xi rode a shared bicycle, wandered around nearby for a period of time, and after about three hours, perfectly found a house matching his expectations in a village in the city three kilometers from the school. It was ugly on the outside with almost no interior decoration, but it had one good pointit was a two-story detached old house with a rather spacious interior. The landlord was an old grandpa whose condition was an annual lease. However, after considering everything, including the deposit, a years rent was only 5,000 yuan. Luo Xi thought that with the money in his hands, it wouldnt last long anyway, so it would be better to spend it. And so, he decisively rented the small building. After receiving Luo Xis money, the grandpa said with a smile, Young man, youll need to take care of the water and electricity bills yourself from now on. I wont bother you about that. If the house gets demolished someday, I will refund you the remaining rent and deposit. Luo Xi thought to himself, no wonder the rent is so cheap; its because theyre waiting for demolition. Thanks, grandpa. No need to thank me. I understand the difficulties you young people face. If you need anything, you can call me. After the old man left, Luo Xi took the keys, entered the small building, and cleaned it up a bit. The stairs inside the small building were made of wood, creaking as he stepped on them, almost like in a haunted house. He ascended to the second floor and discovered that aside from an old and worn-out bed, there was also a terrace with many plants, but most of them were dead from lack of care. Luo Xi moved a stool out from the house and sat on the terrace, basking in the sunset as he started Dawn again. [Traveler, you are learning with the assistance of Aina] [Would you like to speed up the process?] [Yes] Luo Xi couldnt be bothered to wait, directly dragging it up to 30 times speed. With that drag, the sunset quickly fell, turning into a brightly lit night. [Ding! Basic Task: Knowledge Acquisition (Part One) has been completed] [Traveler, you now have a sufficient understanding of the basic knowledge of the Dream world, you have learned the universal language of the Dream world] [Reward has been distributed] Luo Xi suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head. But by the time he realized it, the pain had already faded away, and only his pulsating scalp continued to tell him the previous pain was not his illusion. Luo Xi took out the box that Weier had previously put in his travel bag and casually picked out a book. Its title was Advanced Alchemy Theories. He opened it and found, What the hell, some Otherworld version of advanced chemistry, totally incomprehensible. He picked out another book. Its title was Introduction to Basic Skills and Basic Rune Drawing. He opened it: some weird symbols, then snapped it shut instantly. Forget it, lets not bother with these Otherworld books for now. [Traveler, you told Weier that she could take away her belongings] [Led by Cat Cat, you began stuffing things from their home into your Dreamland travel bag to then take to your own world] Luo Xi also quickly realized that he might not need to buy any furniture. Big boxes, small boxes, pots, pans, spatulas, cabinets, stools, chairs, sofas, all household items were accounted for. Even their large bed from the bedroom was moved in. To this, Luo Xi could only say well done wait, was Cat Cat treating him like a moving company? Until two fully packed bags were taken out from his Dreamland travel bag. Hmm? Whats inside here? It feels a bit soft? Curious, Luo Xi opened the zipper of one bag to peek inside. A dried floral scent immediately wafted out from the bag, and it was somewhat pleasant to smell. Pure white lace dresses, semi-transparent lingerie, light nightgowns, and little plump These were the clothes of those two Lolitas with beast ears. Really, couldnt you have just stuffed them into a wardrobe? Luo Xi quickly zipped the bag back up. My bad, my bad. Fortunately, Cat Cat didnt know her things ended up on his side in reality, otherwise, she definitely wouldnt have put such strongly personal items in there. [After you have gathered everything that could be put in the house, Weier finally handed you a box] [That should be about it, keep this box for storing scrolls safe, you can retrieve it whenever needed, the rest is not important.] [After dinner, you can rest a bit, then, as it gets close to deep night, well head into Winter City, find a place to hide until tomorrow after the fallout of the Origin Disaster passes, then well leave Grey Stone Street.] Chapter 70 - 70 70 Meeting Two Beast Eared Girls is Such a ?Chapter 70: Chapter 70: Meeting Two Beast Eared Girls is Such a Great Gain!_1 Chapter 70: Chapter 70: Meeting Two Beast Eared Girls is Such a Great Gain!_1 Luo Xi checked the time on his phone. It was not yet six oclock; several hours remained until deep into the night. With no idea what might happen when entering Winter City at night, he decided not to return to his dormitory and sent his two roommates a message that he wouldnt be coming back for the night. After a quick meal in a nearby Shaxian store, Luo Xi bought a complete set of bedding and pillows from a furniture shop and went back to prepare the bed on the second floor of the old house. The old house was somewhat gloomy, its only advantage being spaciousness. The floor was covered with items brought from the Dream world, crammed into the small room with two bedsone a part of the house and the other brought directly from the Dream world. Although Weier and Ainas bed had everythingcomplete with quilts, pillows, and even a bit fragrantLuo Xi was not one of those strange guys; he still had his own moral bottom line. So it was better to use his own newly purchased personal items. The bags filled with Weier and Ainas clothes were also placed on their bed. Dont get me wrong, he had no intention of doing anything peculiar; this was simply to ensure that the items were within his sight. What if they got stolen by some pervert if left downstairs? With time to spare, Luo Xi started examining the other items he had brought from the Dream world. The first was the eight-forged steel machete purchased from the workshop. This machete was so sharp that it could cut through iron like mud. He tested it; it could slice through the green bricks on the balcony and even sever stones picked up from outside with ease. Of course, this could also be because his own strength had become too great. Luo Xi somewhat wanted to walk around and chop things with the machete, but such a knife was a controlled item in reality and could not be casually carried around. If he were seen with it, he might be reported and taken away for questioning. Next was the rare-tier magic staff. After being drained of some power by the Dream World backpack, its attribute bonuses seemed to have decreased significantly. [Attributes: All skill damage +10%-60% (different damage bonuses can be achieved according to the casters tier), your casting speed +20%, your skill cooldown time -5%] The bonus attributes had been cut by half, but the quality had not diminished, still a blue rare-tier, and the two additional skills were functioning normally. [Do you wish to withdraw the Mystical Dream Staff?] [Yes] In Luo Xis hand, an ornate staff inlaid with purple gemstones appeared, surrounded by a glow. Could he use the additional skills on the staff? Poison Light Bomb? With just a thought, a chicken egg-sized green light ball condensed from the gemstone at the tip of the staff. Luo Xi aimed it at a withered potted plant on the balcony. Bang! The green light bomb immediately exploded out, and upon touching the plant, it burst open, dissolving the already withered plant like it had come into contact with sulfuric acid. Luo Xi watched this scene with a mix of alarm and awe. Because the real world lacked pure yuan su, the staffs additional skills relied only on its own yuan su reserves. But considering its current power, even in a weakened state, it could instantly kill a person if it struck an ordinary individual. These weapons were incredibly powerful! Luo Xi even went downstairs to clear a space, taking out the power armor and laying it flat on the ground. This steam-punk-style power armor was something he was rather fond of. After playing around with these items, he went back upstairs and opened the game. [Traveler, Aina and Weier are lying on the sofa closing their eyes for a nap, would you like to rest for a while as well?] [Yes] [Would you like to accelerate the progress?] [Yes]x30. Time compressed rapidly in perception. After an indeterminate amount of time. [Deep night has arrived] Luo Xi checked the time on his phone again. It was half-past twelve. Dawn has already been played for several days, yet he kept pacing around Grey Stone Street, a slum-like area, with absolutely no chance of entering Winter City. Its all because of the Variant talent; if it wasnt for this talent, maybe he would have entered the city long ago But then again, if it werent for this talent, perhaps he wouldnt have met Cat Cat and Little Wolf Girl, right? Well, actually, he could accept this outcome. [Note: Crappy Traveler, youre actually thinking that you hit the jackpot, arent you? After all, these are two adorable beast-eared lolitas that couldnt possibly exist in your world!] sea??h th N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Luo Xi! [Weier wakes up Aina, who is still sleeping, Lets go, this is the perfect time to get in.] [Traveler, you say, Cat Cat, you lead the way; Aina, follow me.] [Weier gives you a sidelong glance] [Although what you said is normal, Cat Cat feels like you have some indecent thoughts about her sister] [Aina yawns and then spiritedly says, Aina has never been to Winter City; it would be nice to see it before leaving home.] [Suddenly, Weier says, Aina, have you ever thought about what would happen if mom suddenly came back one day and found out we were gone after leaving home?] [Little Wolf Girl stiffens, her previously happy face filled with bewilderment] [Then how about we dont leave?] [Traveler, your Happiness Level -3] [Weier shakes her head, saying, What I mean is, before we leave, we should leave a letter at home. Maybe one day, mom will come back and see it.] [Oh, I see.] [The two lolitas spend a few minutes writing a letter together and leave it on the bedroom table] [Then you all go downstairs] [The cat-eared girl, carrying a small backpack and stepping on the snow, takes one last look at the little house that accompanied her for fifteen years of growth] [Maybe shell never be able to return again?] [Traveler, led by Weier, you arrive at a narrow alley; opposite the alley looms the walls of Winter City, towering three to forty meters high] [The nearby environment is extremely dark; at night, you might as well be blind] [Weier speaks to you, Ill go in first to scout the situation. If theres no one inside, Ill come out and bring you two in.] [Aina whispers softly, Sister, be careful.] /// In an independent small building. Rat King Nos opens the window, his eyes showing a strange gleam. What does Weier have in mind? He had already made a deal with her that he would hand over the item left by her mother tomorrow and then take her into the city, so why is she sneaking into Winter City on her own? But its not a big problem. As long as shes still on the Winter City side, she cant escape his control Noss thoughts reach this point, and suddenly his face darkens; it seems something unexpected happened last night, quite a few of his rat informants were killed. Nos has a guess as to whos behind this, but strangely, Weier and her group didnt suffer any mishaps. Did they resolve it themselves? Even if that bastard is wary of him and doesnt dare to come personally, its impressive that Weier and her group could handle it. Liya, youve raised a good daughter. In Rat Kings eyes, two different colors emerge. One shady, one ghastly green. He murmurs softly: Five more days, Liya, Ill let you know that the choice you made back then was utterly meaningless. Chapter 71 - 71 71 Traveler Youre a Loli-Stealing Bandit ?Chapter 71: Chapter 71: Traveler, Youre a Loli-Stealing Bandit, arent you?_1 Chapter 71: Chapter 71: Traveler, Youre a Loli-Stealing Bandit, arent you?_1 [Weier walked straight toward the wall] [The moment the girls body touched the wall, it was as if a fish had entered the water. She swam directly into the shimmering wall, and after she completely entered, the wall returned to its original appearance] [Traveler, you once again marveled, worthy indeed of the wonders of quantum mechanics] [Note: Idiot Traveler, Ive already told you once, this has nothing to do with quantum mechanics, okay!] [About two minutes later, as the wall rippled, Weiers figure reappeared before you. Before you could ask anything, she raised a finger to her lips, closed one eye, and chuckled, Lucks on our side; there wasnt a single guard inside after I entered. We can go into the city now.] [Aina counted on her fingers and raised a key question, But there are two of us when Brother Luo Xi and Aina go together. How many people can you take with you at once, Sister?] [Not sure, Ive never brought anyone through such a thick barrier before.] [Weier shook her head and said, My ability has a limited duration for each use. If it was just me, with my speed, I could easily come and go through this city wall. But bringing someone will slow me down a lot. If we cant get out in three seconds, well be stuck in the wall.] [Traveler, you heard Aina let out a soft ah and you immediately thought of those real-life examples of rebar embedded in concrete] [You asked, How thick is the wall?] [Weier replied, Around 15 meters.] [Your ability can be applied to objects that are in contact with you, right?] [Yes, but it can only affect a spherical space with a radius of about 1.5 meters centered on my hand. Any more than that wont work.] [Aina lifted her head, her tea-gold eyes sparkling in the darkness, So why doesnt Brother Luo Xi just carry Aina and Sister and run in? Sister just needs to keep using her ability, and Brother Luo Xi just needs to dash forward.] [Hey?] [Weier was startled. What did she mean by carrying them and running?] [However, the clever Cat Cat quickly figured out what her little sister was suggesting] [The cat-eared girl hesitated as she looked at you, then turned her head away and said, Then Ill leave it to you. Luo Xi, you just need to carry me and Aina and rush toward the wall as fast as you can. Dont worry about anything else.] Luo Xi was taken aback. Wait, was he being asked to carry two beast-eared girls and charge through? And to think such a good thing tsk, what am I thinking about. [Note: Suspiciously perverted Traveler, you have again revealed the evil in your heart!] Damn Text, stop messing around already! Im not evil! Luo Xi tapped the cloud symbol on the screen. [Would you like to use the Dreamland Synchronization Module? (Cooldown has ended)] [Yes] He naturally had to take on such a great perilous task personally, rather than just looking at the flimsy text on the screen. [Traveler, welcome to the journey of the dream~] Sar?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. /// All of a sudden, Weier and Aina felt the young man beside them change completely, his eyes, which had seemed somewhat dull before, now vivid with life as if a soul had been poured into them. The cat-eared girl frowned and said, Have you entered that normal state from before? Pretty much. Luo Xi nodded. He first looked around, indeed finding the alley as deathly dark as described in the text, with snow still falling heavily from the sky, showing no sign of stopping. It was a pity that the fog before his eyes was still so annoying. Aside from lasting longer, this Dreamland Synchronization Module was but a shadow compared to the all-encompassing Immersion talent. He wondered whether these features and talents had room for future upgrades. Luo Xi rubbed his hands together and let out a cold breath, Shall we start then? Weier looked suspicious, Why do I feel like youre looking forward to this? Luo Xi said with all seriousness, Im just a little eager to see the scenery within Winter City. Fine. Weier didnt bother to probe into this guys thoughts anymore. You should be strong enough to hold onto us, right? Dont lose either of us, especially Aina, along the way. Aina tugged at Luo Xis sleeve and said earnestly, Brother Luo Xi, dont lose Aina! Luo Xi smiled. He felt the flow of strength and Yuan Su in his body and directed a large amount of Yuan Su to his legs. His left hand naturally pulled the obedient Little Aina to his side and lightly picked her up as if he took a bag of flour and tucked it next to his waist. Little Wolf Girl was light, giving him no sense of weight at all. However, due to Aina wearing thick clothes, Luo Xi didnt feel the softness he anticipated, and it felt more like he was holding a smaller-sized gas cylinder. [Note: Garbage Traveler, you claim your heart is not evil, yet your stance looks like an evil bandit who has kidnapped a Little Lolita!] Damn Text, just shut up! Luo Xi looked towards Cat Cat and waved his hand. Weiers refined and delicate face changed expressions a few times before she reluctantly walked over. Luo Xi, following the same method, took the tsundere Cat Cat into his right hands embrace. [Note: Great, now Traveler, you are the evil bandit who has kidnapped two Little Lolitas] Luo Xi spoke up, Are you ready? The two sisters looked at each other. Ready. Cat Cat said nervously, Remember to hold tight! No matter whether you lose me or Aina, youre dead! Got it! Luo Xi immediately stomped on the snow and charged fiercely toward the wall. The snow on the ground couldnt halt his movement and was directly scattered by the impact. Although his agility attribute wasnt very high, agility did not just signify mere speed C powerful strength could also provide mighty acceleration! The moment Luo Xis head touched the wall, an incredible thing happened C it was as if he had entered a space entirely composed of viscous liquid. These fluids swirled around his body, not making actual contact, moving as he did. Weier urged desperately, Hurry! Only three seconds! Luo Xi was well aware of the dire situation and had no time to consider this surreal sensation. He kept taking big strides forward! Suddenly, he felt a loosening around him, and then he broke free from the strange sensation. Luo Xi tried to stop but didnt manage in time; thus, he tumbled out with the two Lolitas he was carrying and crashed into the thick snow. [Note: Garbage Traveler, your stealthy trek with two beast-eared Lolitas is complete!] [Ding! Traveler, you have completed an achievement of smuggling, and you have been awarded the title: Smuggler] [Description: A title that can only be possessed by those who enter a large city through irregular means.

Luo Xi shook his head as he climbed out of the snow and said in a low voice, Weier, Aina, are you two okay? Weier pulled Aina, who had fallen not far from her, out of the snow and took a handkerchief out of her pocket to wipe the snow off her little sisters face, saying annoyed: Its a good thing this is all snow. Those lazy dog guards havent had anyone clear it, otherwise, if you tossed Aina on the groundheh Ah-choo The Little Wolf Girl, holding her nose with both hands, sneezed softly again. Sister, its so cold. Lets quickly find a place to stay, she said. Mm. Weier also knew that they should not linger in this place. Though the weather meant that the guards had all turned into lazy dogs hiding behind the city walls not coming out, if they stayed too long, there would be a risk of being discovered. Luo Xi said, Before we leave, lets smooth out the snow pit weve made. At least it cant be so easily seen that someone has been here. The footprints shouldnt be a big problem. If this snow keeps up, itll soon be completely covered. Weier turned her head to look at you with a face full of surprise and suspicion: Youre actually this smart? [Ding! Traveler, your Anger Value +3] After spending a few minutes making the snow look more even, Luo Xi, Weier, and Aina headed toward the dark snow forest ahead. Their only source of light was the tea-gold glow from the Divine Tree located in the center of Winter City, which covered the entire sky. Weier sister, where are we going? Aina asked softly, Can we go check out the streets of Winter City? We cant just go anywhere crowded. If we get discovered, its all over. Lets find a spot to hide tonight, Weier said slowly. After the aftermath of the locust plague is gone tomorrow, well cross the city wall and leave the area where Grey Stone Street is, then head for the nearby Coal Mountain Town, and after that, consider where to go next. Oh. Ainas head drooped somewhat dejectedly. The Little Lolita actually knew it wasnt time to sightsee; she just felt it was a shame that she had come all the way to Winter City and would have to leave without seeing anything. Luo Xi, on the other hand, didnt speak, just quietly listened to the sounds nearby. For some reason, he felt that somewhere in the distance, it was unnaturally quiet. Even though the hat on his head kept releasing heat, this subtle feeling made his back, involuntarily, feel bone-chillingly cold. Suddenly, on a hill in the distance, a swaying figure appeared. All three of them paused. Who was it? A guard? Or one of Winter Citys residents? Weier whispered, Dont move, lets squat here for a while, wait for the person ahead to leave, and then we can walk a little further away. Aina nodded slightly. Then, the Little Lolita suddenly scrunched her face. Ah Weier instantly covered her little sisters mouth and nose, forcefully stuffing the choo back into the Little Wolf Girls body. Aina looked at her sister with a resentful gaze, her tea-gold eyes welling up with tears. Weier: Luo Xi: He tried to say, If youre feeling cold, why dont you move closer to me? Mhm, Aina loves the warmth from brother, she said. Aina immediately moved her little feet closer to Luo Xi. When she touched the clothes on Luo Xis body, her face immediately showed a satisfied smile. [Ding! Your Happiness Level +10] Its so warm, Sister can come too. Weier helplessly shook her head. I dont need to. She wasnt particularly afraid of the cold. Aina, you yourself Weiers expression stiffened, her pinkish-red pupils slightly contracting. Ah The cat-eared girl quickly covered her mouth and nose with her hand, giving a muffled groan and successfully reenacting the moment she covered Ainas mouth earlier, forcibly holding back the latter part of her sneeze inside her body. Aina: (?)?~ Luo Xi: (??) Feeling the heat rise to her cheeks from the odd looks of the two, Weier was glad that her hat covered her face, reaching all the way to her warm ears. Though she had bought some cold-resistant supplies from the Deep Alley Workshop, those were meant for leaving Winter City, and she was reluctant to use them here. The cat-eared girl muttered, Fine, fine, I get it. After all, the hat was made from the scroll I gave you. Im just using my own stuff anyway. [Ding! Your Happiness Level +10] Luo Xi: (??`?) The tsundere Cat Cat was indescribably cute, a total departure from the Little Wolf Girls style. Weier murmured softly and tiptoed closer to Luo Xi. She paused her hand in mid-air before gently grabbing Luo Xis sleeve. Meow~ Why was it so warm? Just holding onto the clothes felt warmer than clutching a heating stone. Sear?h the N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Though Weier was loath to admit it. But, in this blizzard with temperatures plummeting into the minus degrees, Luo Xi was equivalent to a portable human-shaped heating stone. Weier silently screamed in her heart, why did you create such a strange scroll, Mother? The three of them maintained this crouched position for a long while, growing impatient as the figure in the forest showed no sign of movement. Then, a strong sensation of being pulled away came over them, and when Luo Xi opened his eyes, he found himself back in his rented room. Was it over that quickly? He continued to look at his phone screen. [Traveler, you have been squatting there for almost half an hour now; you decide to go check out what that figure really is] [Traveler, you offer to go bravely on your own, but Weier tells you to stay put and take care of Aina while she checks it out. With her abilities, she can escape easily even if she encounters danger] [Weier left your side] [] [Cat Cat soon came back with her pinkish-red pupils full of shock and confusion: Lets get out of here quickly, something terrible happened; there are bodies hanging in the trees!] /// Weier gracefully moved through the woods towards where the figure was seen. Now, she suspected that the immobile figure might have just been a misperception. But, as she got closer, she realized her thoughts couldnt have been more wrong. In the coniferous forest behind this small hill, many corpses hung from the trees, as if strung up by fine threads. Is this really Winter City? Weier found it hard to believe. Why would such a horrifying place exist within the walls of Winter City? And these people were most likely not Mutant Patients, so why were the citys inhabitants treated in such a brutal manner? The girl took one last look and turned back. No, this place was too sinister, they couldnt stay any longer. Chapter 73 - 73 73 Sleeping Together and Such Danger~_1 ?Chapter 73: Chapter 73 Sleeping Together and Such, Danger~_1 Chapter 73: Chapter 73 Sleeping Together and Such, Danger~_1 [Traveler, Weier has come back and told you that there are many bodies hanging on the hill opposite, making for a very eerie scene.] [Hearing the girls description, you also felt goosebumps rise on your skin. How could you, who live in an era of peace, imagine the bizarre sight of hundreds of corpses suspended from the trees?] [After a brief discussion, you all decide to change your course, heading deeper into the city to avoid the peculiar clearing ahead.] [You are walking slowly on the snowy ground] [Do you want to accelerate?] [Yes]x30. Luo Xi, as usual, pulls the acceleration to the highest setting. It must be said that the game designs acceleration feature is quite essential; after all, who could stand the frequent hang-ups of several hours if you can only see text on the screen. It feels like about half a minute has passed, which is 15 minutes in reality, when the text on the screen changes. [Traveler, you have found a small cabin in the snowy forest.] [The door of the cabin is open, and Weier lights a candle to illuminate the interior. Inside the cabin, some firewood is stored, and the floor is covered with accumulated dust, indicating that it has not been lived in for quite some time.] [This might have been where a hunter or a forest guard lived before winter came.] [Weier surveys the perimeter of the cabin, then returns and says, Lets rest here tonight. After the aftermath of the Locust Disaster Lakast passes tomorrow, we will set off immediately and cross the city walls to leave Winter City.] [Weier looks at you, Can we take out our bed and the warm stones, please?] Luo Xi: Cat Cat is really treating him like a moving company. But hed anticipated this; after all, the bed for Weier and the others was right beside him, ready to be taken out at any time. After putting the bed back into the Dream World backpack, Luo Xi taps on the mobile backpack section to take out the bed. [Traveler, you take out the bed, and suddenly there is a large bed in the center of the cabin.] [Traveler, you suddenly remember something serious.] [Since this cabin has only one room, and since the two Beast Eared Girls will be sleeping here, does that mean you can sleep here tonight as well?] [Note: Garbage Traveler, its advised that you dive into bed before anyone else, to let these Lolitas know the perils of life!] Tsk. [Brother Luo Xi, are you going to sleep with us?] [Ainas voice rings out beside your ear like that of an angel.] [Ding! Your Happiness Level +10] [Then, Traveler, you notice Cat Cat is silent, merely watching you with a dangerous gaze.] [As a young person with normal sexual inclinations, of course, your choice is to refuse.] [Note: Actually, Traveler, you really wanted to agree, didnt you? Didnt you? Didnt you?] No! Enough with the unscrupulous text! Why ask three times! [Traveler, you sincerely say, I wont need it, Ill take out the sofa.] Luo Xi had already taken the sofa from downstairs back into the backpack, along with a worn quilt, and placed it back into the Dream World. [Weier says, Tonight, we will take turns keeping watch. Ill rest for two and a half hours first, then you wake me up to watch the second half of the night. We dont know what will happen tomorrow, so we must conserve enough energy and strength.] [Aina yawns and waves at you, Goodnight, Brother Luo Xi~] [The two Lolitas didnt change their clothes; they only took off their shoes and crawled into bed with a warm stone.] [After blowing out the candlelight, faint golden light from the Divine Tree Glory seeps through the window, slyly beautiful like the moonlight.] [You hear two steady breathing sounds intertwining.] [Are children who grow up in such a harsh world really able to sleep so sweetly even in such a strange environment?] [Traveler, as you lie on the sofa, you also begin to feel a bit drowsy.] [However, you have a duty to keep watch, so naturally, you cant just go to sleep.] [Would you like to accelerate time?] [No] Luo Xi opened his character panel to check out the title he had just received. Now he had four titles. Otherworld Traveler, Unlucky Guy, Perverted Suspect, and one more, Stowaway. The title of Otherworld Traveler was pretty useless, and it could make other players aware of his identity. Ever since that strange man had discovered his identity that day, he had taken it off. Unlucky Guy was a truly heavyweight title, and Perverted Suspect actually wasnt too bad, but to prevent his IQ from dropping into the negatives, hed better just leave it alone for now. At last, he finally had a title he could use. [Would you like to equip the title: Stowaway?] [Yes] [Title Equipped Successfully] Luo Xi put down his phone and massaged his neck, feeling a bit sore from leaning on the bed for so long. It was nearly two oclock in the morning now. For many people, this was just the start of the nights activities, and he could still hear the hustle and bustle of the night market outside. Why not grab some late-night snacks to get through these two hours of the night, and then go to work at Ai Xues cat cafe tomorrow morning? Being a cat feeder, the work shouldnt be too busy, right? sea??h th N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. At the snack street outside the urban village. Since rent here was cheap, many office workers lived nearby. The prosperous foot traffic had turned it into a buzzing snack street. Luo Xi bought a hand-grabbed cake from a street stall, then got a roasted pigs trotter and a bowl of wonton from another; he was fully prepared to feast when he got back home. Damn your mother, I told you to serve the food, wasting half an hour of my time! Continuous smashing and shouting could be heard coming from a barbecue shop along the way. Luo Xi casually glanced inside. Probably just another conflict between a delivery guy and the shop owner over the speed of serving orders? It had nothing to do with him anyway. Sarang! Sarang! A cry of alarm came from the barbecue shop. Immediately after, Luo Xi saw a chubby man stumble out of the shop, chased by a young man in a yellow delivery uniform wielding a kitchen knife. Luo Xi: It wasnt Gotham City here, was it? When had the local customs become so quaint? The chubby man yelled, Help me! Sarang! The young man raised the knife towards the chubby mans neck and, with eyes red, shouted, Die for me! Luo Xi narrowed his eyes. He didnt mind lending a hand when within his power; at least he could try to stop such a violent act of murder on the streets. The item in his right hand was thrown fiercely, like a cannonball. It turned into a shadow and directly knocked the knife from the young mans hand. The young man looked at his empty hand and froze on the spot. The chubby man was also stunned for a moment, then seeing the young man knifeless, he immediately counterattacked and pushed the young man down to the ground. Brothers, help me call the police! I just served the food a little slow, and this maniac grabbed my kitchen knife trying to chop me! Meanwhile, more and more onlookers gathered, some had already called the police, and since the police station was nearby, it took only a few minutes for the night shift officers to arrive. Luo Xi had already left quietly, keeping a low profile. When he got home, Luo Xi put the snacks on the table and realized something was amiss. Damn, at a loss of a pigs trotter. Unbeknownst to Luo Xi, not far from where he left, at another night stall, a young man in white, who was eating late-night snacks, thoughtfully looked at the pigs trotter that had rolled to his feet. Is he also a game player? Chapter 74 - 74 74 Only the Proud and Cute Cats are Worth ?Chapter 74: Chapter 74: Only the Proud and Cute Cats are Worth Training~_1 Chapter 74: Chapter 74: Only the Proud and Cute Cats are Worth Training~_1 After Luo Xi finished the late-night snack, the time had reached 3:30 a.m. The character in the game was still keeping watch through the night. [Would you like to speed up?] [Yes]30. Soon, the text took on a new presentation. [Weier gently climbed down from the bed and silently came to your side; her light red eyes shimmered in the darkness like glowing gems, stunning and captivating.] [In a low voice, she said, Its about time for a shift change; Luo Xi, you can go to sleep now.] [Traveler, you couldnt help but think that this cat was so conscientious, waking up without waiting for you to call her. What an arrogant yet cute and empathetic little cat-eared Lolita.] [Note: Garbage traveler, isnt the little cat-eared Lolita the main point here?] Indeed Damn text, arent you annoying! Sear?h the novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Okay, then Im going to sleep.] [Traveler, you closed your eyes, turned your head, and fell into a deep sleep.] Luo Xi lay on the bed, also squinting his eyes shut. Wait a minute! If something suddenly went wrong in the game while he was asleep, just like the day he got cursed by the Rat King, wouldnt that mean his character would be directly screwed? When will they ever add an emergency alert feature? [Friendly reminder: The crisis alert function is not yet online. It is expected to be updated in the next Dream world synchronization module. If you, traveler, want to detect danger in the Dream world promptly, it is advisable to use the lower substitutea bell.] [Would you like to set up the bell?] [Description: When you, in the Dream world, encounter danger or an urgent situation, it will notify you, the traveler, to log in to the game promptly via the bell.] Luo Xi: So, there actually is such a feature? Why didnt you say so earlier? [Yes] [Setup successful] Luo Xi plugged his phone into the charger, placed it beside the pillow, closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep. After an unknown period, the phone suddenly began to vibrate violently, playing an old love song. Groggily, Luo Xi reached for the phone by his bed and instinctively silenced it. Then he suddenly remembered that as someone who never set ring tones, how could he have such an old-fashioned ringtone? Luo Xis eyes snapped open. By now it was already light outside; the phone screen showed the time had just reached 6:30 a.m. There was a red symbol in the Dawn notification box. Luo Xi unlocked his phone and hurriedly clicked it. [In your drowsy state, you feel something frantically slapping your face, urging you to wake up quickly.] [Traveler, you were awoken by slaps.] [The cat-eared girl glared at you angrily: Are you a pig or something? Your skin is really thick, Ive been calling you for two minutes and youre still not awake!] Luo Xi: Did that cat just almost say slapping? [Note: Unfortunately, traveler, the mutant factor in your body isnt a pig factor, otherwise youd really be a legitimate pig.] [Little Aina had gotten up, sitting on the bed and rubbing her eyes, seeming also to be not fully awake.] [Sister, whats wrong?] [Traveler, you also asked, What happened?] [Weier quickly said, Hurry up and pack up things like the bed and the sofa. I just went out to check; the Divine Tree Glory that shrouded over Winter City has already started to shrink. Although I dont know how much it will shrink, its safer for us to move further inside.] [The Divine Tree Glory is shrinking?] [Yes, the Winter Divine Trees Glory is controllable, and its said that the control lies in the hands of the City Owner. The last time the wind disaster hit, the Divine Tree Glory still maintained its original range, so why would it shrink this time?] Weiers expression was somewhat uncertain, Without the protection of the Divine Tree Glory, the residents of Grey Stone Street couldnt even survive an Origin Disaster, let alone the Origin Beasts on the Snow Field, which could devour them whole! Traveler, you packed up the beds and the sofa in the wooden hut and then stepped outside. By this time, the heavy snow had nearly stopped, and daylight was breaking; the pale golden radiance of the Winter Divine Tree was not conspicuous during the daytime, but if one looked closely, it was indeed evident that the radiance was shrinking. Hiss hiss hiss Traveler, you suddenly heard the sound of snow being compacted underfoot. Looking towards the direction of the sound, at a distance of about three hundred meters, you saw a group of creatures, rotten all over and staggering toward your position, hardly resembling living people. Traveler, you recalled a type of monster well-known in your worldzombies. Ding! Your fear level increased by 10. Ding! Traveler, you have triggered a special task: The Purification of the Necromancy. Task brief: Not far from the city walls, in a lumberyard, you encountered a group of the living dead. They seem to be creations of some big-shot from within the city. You think you can hear the mournful wails of the living dead, but youre completely baffled and unsure of what to do. Hint: Let the unjustly slain rest in peace, and let those who harmed them pay for their sins. Reward: Sublimation pathpart of the Necromancy omen. Luo Xi was taken aback. A special task? And what exactly was this omen? Weier and Aina also saw those zombie-like creatures. Cat Cats expression was grave, while Aina hid behind you all, too frightened to come out. Weier gritted her teeth, That direction, thats where I saw people hanging from the hill last night! Originally thinking that upon entering Winter City, it would be somewhat safe, but the continuous stream of accidents left Weier feeling somewhat panic-stricken and at a loss. You and the two beast-eared lolitas naturally wouldnt stay put and wait for death, so you picked up your possessions and continued deeper into the snowy forest. However, if you kept going, passing through this snow forest, you would truly reach the inner areas of Winter City. As stowaways, encountering the city guards without a pass would be trouble. But it seemed that this was the only way forward; you had no choice. Soon, you arrived on the edge of a main road, lying prone on a cliff about twenty meters high, you could clearly see that the road seemed to lead deeper into Winter City. Weier glanced back at the way you had come; the living dead had not followed for the time being. Traveler, you saw a trace of panic in Weiers eyes. Unlike Aina, who always wears her emotions on her face, like the tea gold-colored eyes of Little Aina next to you that were about to burst into tears. This cat-eared girl had always been able to control her emotions well since you met her; you never saw any signs of fear from her. Traveler, you softly asked, Are you afraid? Weier was startled and turned her head away, No, they are just dead people. Whats there to be afraid of? Note: A proud cat-eared girl will never admit her timidity, but thats where the value of training lies. Shut up, damn text! Traveler, you said, Actually, Im quite scared. After all, fear does not deceive you. Weier: Cat Cat suddenly looked down, Someones coming! Traveler, you heard the clamor of distant voices coming from the main road. Aina wanted to peek, but Weier gently slapped her down. The three of you crouched down, using the high edge of the snow cliff to conceal yourselves. Traveler, you heard the sound of turning wheels, several vehicles with peculiar designs leading the way. At least a dozen Winter City guards sat within, followed by many others on foot. You were surprised to find that many of the individuals bore the distinctive Mutant Factors only seen in Variants, forming a long line on the main road stretching as far as the eye could see, easily numbering in the thousands. Uncle Bear? Weier spotted the towering figure in the crowd at a glance. Cat Cat exclaimed in surprise, All the Mutant Patients from Grey Stone Street have entered Winter City? What in the world is going on?! Chapter 75 - 75 75 Give Up The Idea Of Kidnapping Earlier ?Chapter 75: Chapter 75 Give Up The Idea Of Kidnapping Earlier And There Wont Be So Many Troubles_1 Chapter 75: Chapter 75 Give Up The Idea Of Kidnapping Earlier And There Wont Be So Many Troubles_1 Traveler, you speculated, Could it be that Winter City has agreed to let mutant patients seek asylum within its walls?'' Impossible! Weier immediately rejected your guess. To them, we Variants who could lose control at any moment are nothing but ticking time bombs. Those high-ranking people inside the city will never agree to let us in. They only see us as slaves and cheap labor! Luo Xi also thought that Cat Cat made some sense. So, could it be that Winter City was afraid the Variants would die off and theyd have no slaves to use? Traveler, you voiced another guess. Weier shook her head again, If the residents of Grey Stone Street all die from the Origin Disaster this time, theyll just go to some gathering place of mutant patients and pull in another batch, just like they did last time after the wind disaster when they rebuilt Grey Stone Street. Traveler, you asked, But how do we explain the situation now? Didnt you say that the glory of the Winter Divine Tree has also contracted for the first time?'' At that moment, Cat Cat fell silent. Indeed, how to explain these frequent anomalies? Aina whispered at the side, Weier sister, Brother Luo Xi, wouldnt it be better to just ask someone directly? Aina is right. You guys hide here for a bit longer; Ill sneak into the crowd and find Uncle Bear to see whats going on. No sooner had Weier spoken than a piercing scream suddenly rose in the distance. What is that, monsters, monsters! Traveler, the three of you cautiously looked toward the source of the sound. You saw those undead-like creatures that you had seen before, over a dozen of them rushing out of the snow forest and into the crowd, biting the residents of Grey Stone Street. The long line of people immediately descended into chaos, scattering like birds and beasts. Some even ran haphazardly toward your location; fortunately, you were lying on higher ground, and no one noticed you. In just a moment, many residents of Grey Stone Street were entangled by the undead horde. Although the combat strength of those undead didnt seem very high, the liquid dripping from their rotting bodies was corrosive. Upon touching human flesh, it would corrode holes instantly, causing immense pain. Everybody, scatter! The guards from Winter Citys patrol quickly realized something was wrong; they turned their vehicles around, got out, and started hacking at the undead with their weapons. After a fierce battle, several dozen undead creatures were cut down by the guards. Traveler, you heard a guard shouting below, Damn, how did these damned things get out again? Cant His Honor the Grand Magistrate keep a better watch over his death row inmates? We always have to clean up their mess! And we then have to send them back, which is just disgusting! I cant even eat my dinner!'' Shhh! There are so many people here. You can complain under your breath, but what if it gets out? Arent you afraid His Honor the Grand Magistrate will trump up some charges against you and have you strung up in that experimental forest? Bah of course Im afraid. Were just lowly soldiers. Speaking of which, why did the Mansion of the City Lord order those Variants to be brought into the Inner City? I can hardly stand their smell. Just do your job. How could folks like us guess the thoughts of the big-shots? A thunderous voice boomed, rolling closer along the road like thunder, Anybody who doesnt want to die, keep moving! Otherwise, go back! After the voice faded, the long stream of people quickly regained order. The residents of Grey Stone Street, carrying all their most valuable possessions, didnt want to go back at this time. After all, no one wants to die, and with the Divine Tree Glory having receded, Grey Stone Street no longer had any ability to fend off danger. Winter City had become their only hope of survival. Traveler, you gained some clues from the conversations of these people. Luo Xi tapped his phone screen, deep in thought. First, these undead monsters that had escaped from the forest didnt appear to be an unknown event, at least not to the guards inside Winter City; they were all but accustomed to them. Actually, it seemed to be the Grand Magistrate. Combining this with the special mission that had come up before, Luo Xi could almost conclude that those undead were the work of this so-called His Honor the Grand Magistrate. Using death row inmates as experiment subjects? The thought alone was chilling. So, that Purging of the Necromancy mission was for him to purify these undead and get rid of the Grand Magistrate? The difficulty of this mission was surely overestimating me, wasnt it? Lastly, the fact that the residents of Grey Stone Street, the Variants, were allowed to enter Winter City seemed to involve some unclear and strange circumstances. Paired with the sudden contraction of the Winter Divine Tree Glory. Plus, there was the Rat King lurking in the dark, plotting something unknown, and Luo Xi still didnt know where he was or if he was still watching Cat Cat. And there was also the Church of Truth. Luo Xi ruffled his hair. The more he thought about it, the bigger his headache became. Arent games supposed to start on an easy difficulty? Why had he walked straight into a hellishly difficult scenario? Note: If you had given up the idea of abducting two beast-eared Lolitas earlier, you wouldnt have so many problems. So, Traveler, you only have yourself to blame. Luo Xi: Im going to find Uncle Bear and ask about the situation. Dont move from here. Seeing the large crowd return to normal, Weier instructed you and Aina once more before her body vanished into the snow. Three seconds later, you saw Cat Cat, unassumingly blending into the stream of people on the road below. You couldnt help but marvel at Cat Cats handy ability to move through walls. Note: Indeed its handy. If a garbage Traveler like you had it, its unimaginable how many adorable beast-eared Lolitas would suffer at your hands. Slander! This is blatant slander! . //// Weier moved along with the crowd and quickly found Lek, the tallest in the throng. Lek carried a large bag on his back and cradled a small child in his left arm. Next to him walked a woman around thirty years old with a pair of canine ears on her head, whose face still bore traces of sleepiness from waking up too early. Weier called out softly, Uncle Bear. S~ea??h the ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Upon hearing a familiar voice, Lek jolted, looked down, and saw a petite girl walking beside him to his right. Lek asked uncertainly, Little Weier? Weier uncovered her face a bit by lowering her scarf and nodded, Its me, Uncle Bear. What on earth is going on? Why has Winter City suddenly allowed us, the mutant patients, to enter? Chapter 76 - 76 76 Aina Loves the Smell of You Brother~_1 ?Chapter 76: Chapter 76 Aina Loves the Smell of You, Brother~_1 Chapter 76: Chapter 76 Aina Loves the Smell of You, Brother~_1 You dont know? Lek was startled, and seeing Weier shake her head, he said, It wasnt even dawn when the Winter Knight brigade came over and said that the aftermath of an Origin Disaster would strike today, causing widespread panic. After all, the memory of the wind disaster from ten years ago is still fresh. But they also said that the Lord of the City, being kind-hearted, has allowed all residents of Grey Stone Street to take refuge within the walls of Winter City. Of course, you can choose to stay on Grey Stone Street and await death, but surely no one would be that foolish. Weier frowned and said, Are the high-ranking people of Winter City really that benevolent? Who knows. Lek shook his head with a bitter smile and said, The Divine Trees Glory has been withdrawn anyway, perfectly falling just outside the city walls, effectively cutting off our escape route. Other than entering this grand city that has never before opened its gates to us, what other option do we have? To venture into the Snow Field to feed the Origin Beasts? Weier: A foreboding feeling suddenly surged in the heart of the cat-eared girl. The withdrawn light of the Winter Divine Tree, it perfectly stopped just outside the city wall? Yes. Lek laughed and said, Its quite an eye-opener, isnt it? During the last wind disaster, although the Divine Tree Glory was shattered and penetrated by the disaster, it never moved. Who would have thought that this time Id witness the movement of the Divine Tree Glory myself? Even if I die this time, I could go down and brag to my old man about it. I see. Cat Cat seemed to have lost her soul and stopped in her tracks, turning around to walk back the way she came. Hey, Weier, where are you going? Speaking of which, where is your sister Aina? And where did that young man go? Lek turned to look for the girl, but Weiers figure had already disappeared. Weier picked up pace, going against the flow of people. The young girls expression was extremely solemn. No matter what, it was now impossible to leave Winter City. Putting aside the fact that the Locust Disaster Lakast could arrive at any time today, the Divine Tree Glory plastered onto the city wall was enough to deter her. If, after the locust disaster, the Divine Tree Glory remained unchanged, could they follow the residents of Grey Stone Street and leave Winter City together? Weier felt that it had become more difficult. It seemed as though she was deeply caught in a vortex from which she could not extricate herself. However difficult, she had to find a way to leave this place. If she truly couldnt leave, then she would let Luo Xi take Aina and leave. Those people were probably only targeting her, right? Thinking back to a few days ago when Rat King Nos mentioned celebrating her 16th birthday, Weier felt like laughing. Despite his grand schemes, he still put on the facade of a kind elder. Then there was the sudden attack by the Church of Truth last night. Rat King Nos, Church of Truth. Why are you so concerned about me? After all, Im just an ordinary Mutant Patient. Could it be because of my mother? Weiers eyes brightened, an irresistible idea emerging from her heart. My mother, Liya, before she disappeared, maybe she did something that forced them to wait until I was of age before they could act again. Is this the real reason Rat King Nos and the Church of Truth are after me?! Weiers mood suddenly sank. If that was really the reason, then those people would definitely not let her go easily. It was possible that someone was watching her right now. She couldnt help but thinkif I hide or even die, would that thwart their intentions? If my life could ensure the safe departure of Aina and Luo Xi, it might not be such a bad choice. Sarch* The N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Suddenly, Weiers vision darkened abruptly. The cat-eared girl lifted her head and looked up. She saw countless black objects overtaking the pale golden canopy formed by the Divine Tree Glory in the sky above, as if many entities were crouched on top of the brilliance. What is that?! [Traveler, after Cat Cat left, you and Aina were still lying in the snow. In an attempt to absorb some heat from you, Little Lolita unconsciously drew much closer to you.] [Ding! Your Happiness Level +10] [Aina spoke anxiously beside your ear, Brother Luo Xi, can we really leave Winter City together?] [We definitely can.] [But] [Traveler, you petted Ainas round little head that was wrapped in a hood and softly said, Even if you dont trust me, you have to trust your sister.] [Aina nodded, Sister indeed has a hard time.] Luo Xi remained silent. Compared to his own self who was manipulating his character through a screen and Little Aina, who possessed little ability due to her youth, that haughty Cat Cat was truly the one who wanted to take them out of this quagmire at all costs. [Aina smiled cutely and said, But Aina really trusts Brother Luo Xi too.] [Traveler, you said, You, you trust people too easily, its not a good habit.] [Thats not necessarily true, Aina never trusts people easily. If someone has a bad smell, Aina wont talk to them more than necessary. Aina really likes your smell, brother.] [Ding! Your Happiness Level +10] [Little Lolita crawled a little further forward, placing her hands on the edge of the cliff and looking down at the crowd below, which had already started to thin out.] [Where exactly is this group of a few thousand people being led to?] [Is it a temporary shelter within Winter City?] [Even the young Aina knew that even if Winter City allowed Mutant Patients to enter the city, they would never allow them to truly settle down.] [In the eyes of those pureblood humans, just breathing the same air as the Variants was a risk of being infected by the Mutant Factor, let alone allowing so many Variants to live under their noses.] [Aina complained softly.] [Why hasnt Sister Weier come back yet? If sister doesnt return soon, I might just elope with Brother Luo Xi.] [Note: Theres such a good thing? Awesome! Damn! Trash traveler, you really want to agree, dont you?] Luo Xi: What the hell is this Damn Text being so cheerful about? Im not even happy yet. [As a gust of wind blew by, the sky became filled with snowflakes like goose feathers, further lowering the temperature around.] [Traveler, you suddenly realized that it seemed to have gotten darker; unlike the shadows caused by the falling snowflakes, the whole world visibly darkened.] [Even though it was early morning and you had only just woken up, a time when the daylight should be bright, why did it suddenly turn dark?] [Traveler, you realized that something bad was brewing.] [It seemed that a major event was about to happen.] [Ding! Traveler, you have triggered an epic quest: The Aftermath of the Locust Disaster Lakast.] Luo Xi: (?)!!! Now the really big one is coming! C There will be three updates tomorrow for the book launch, and I hope everyone can at least give a first subscription. First subscriptions are really important for a book. Afterwards, it will still be two updates a day, and after the 17th when the authors exams are over, there will be more updates. Thank you for your support. Also, Im asking for monthly tickets and recommendation tickets.

Traveler, you have triggered the epic quest: The Onslaught of the Locust Disaster Lakast (Aftermath)] [Quest Brief: One of the top natural disasters in this world, the Locust Disaster Lakast, has traversed tens of thousands of kilometers from the warm Da Yan Empire. After 45 days, it has finally arrived in this land perennially covered with low temperatures and snowstorms. You must survive the locust invasion. As a Traveler, if you die once due to the locusts, the rating for this quest will decrease by one level, and after three deaths, the quest will be declared a complete failure.] [Reward: Upgrade of a talent effect x1 (The highest quality of talent that can be upgraded depends on the quest rating), Random talent draw x1] [Description: The locusts favor gnawing on objects with imperfect Yuan Su fluctuations. As a Mutant Patient, Traveler, its inevitable that you will be targeted. Find a safe place to hide as best you can.] Luo Xi just tense up reading the text description. An epic level quest. Was this the kind of quest that a mere newbie like him should be encountering? Sarch* The N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. It only served to deeply remind him that the Dream World on the other side was definitely not just a game. In games, character progression generally follows a gradual step-by-step process, but Dawn had thrown him, a level-zero, straight into a hell-level dungeon. Luo Xi glanced briefly at the time on his phone. It was seven-ten. There was still about two hours before the work time he had agreed upon with Ai Xue. No rush, he thought. He needed to sort out the situation in the game first; only by finding a relatively safe place could he feel at ease. Luo Xi continued to tap the screen. [Traveler, you stand up from the snowy ground, and you see Ainas face filled with utmost panic.] [Brother Luo Xi, what are those black things in the sky!?] [Traveler, you say, Its probably that Locust Disaster you mentioned?] [Is that can the Divine Trees Glory really withstand it?] [Aina takes off the cotton hat from her head, revealing a pair of wolf ears standing straight up as if startled.] [After looking at the anomaly in the sky a few times, she constantly gazes in the direction Weier had left, then suddenly yells onto the road: Weier sister! Come back! Something bad is happening!] [Ainas voice doesnt travel far before being lost in the widespread snowstorm.] [Traveler, you dont know whether to stop this childs shouting or not.] [Cat Cat has been gone for about ten minutes now, she must have noticed the change in the sky as well and is probably hurrying back, right?] [As more and more black figures cover the sky sheltered by the Divine Tree Glory, the heavens and earth rapidly turn gloomy. At the same time, you feel the temperature dropping around you; even as warmth continuously circulates through your body, you cant help but feel the chill brought on by the lowering temperatures.] [Aina moves closer to you.] [You notice the Little Wolf Girl trembling slightly; the girl lowers her head, allowing the snowflakes to fall heavily on her.] [Traveler, you let out a soft sigh.] [Since their mother, Liya, left, Cat Cat is probably the only pillar that allows Aina to live strong in this world, right?] [Lets go find your sister] [Traveler, before you finished speaking, you hear a shout from below: Aina, Luo Xi! Come down quickly! We need to head deeper into the city, the situation has changed! We cant stay here anymore!] [Sister!] [Aina immediately jumps down from the cliff, and you dont even have time to catch her.] [Ah!] [From below, you hear Cat Cat let out a gasp, followed by a scolding voice: Who told you to jump from such a high place? And Luo Xi, didnt I ask you to keep an eye on Aina? How did you let her jump down alone! Aina, why arent you wearing your hat? Arent you cold?] [Traveler, you quickly jump down from the cliff as well.] [Within two seconds, you land beside the two girls.] [Before Weier can continue berating you, Traveler, you immediately say, Sorry, I wasnt watching Aina closely. By the way, are those things in the sky the locusts?] [Weier pauses, then snorts, Should be right. If the locusts are as I suspect, capable of gnawing on anything, then we might not be completely safe under the protection of the Divine Tree Glory. We must find a way into the core Blessing range of Winter City. Also, Aina, how much longer are you going to cling to your sister?!] [Aina wants to hug Sister!] [Aina buries her head into Weiers chest and rubs it, (B?B) saying, Weier sister, Luo Xi Brother and I have already discussed it. If you didnt come back, Luo Xi Brother was going to elope with Aina and leave you behind.] [Cat Cat is infuriated (pը): He wouldnt dare!] [Traveler, you subconsciously nod in agreement, but seeing Cat Cats expression, you quickly shake your head.] [Elope with an ignorant Little Lolita? How could you dare to do such a thing? Thats asking to be taken away by the police.] [Wait, is there even police in the Dream World?] [Note: Pervy suspicious Traveler, have you finally noticed? The police cant reach here.] Chapter 78 - 78 77 Aina Wants to Elope with her Brother and ?Chapter 78: Chapter 77: Aina Wants to Elope with her Brother, and Doesnt Want her Sister Anymore (Looking for First Subscription!) _2 Chapter 78: Chapter 77: Aina Wants to Elope with her Brother, and Doesnt Want her Sister Anymore (Looking for First Subscription!) _2 Luo Xi quietly tapped the screen twice. He mustnt be seduced by the Damn Text. Weier looked up at the oppressively dark sky and said, The Divine Trees blessing should hold out for a while longer, lets hurry. Traveler, you asked, Will we be safe once we enter the core protected area of Winter City? Cat Cat glanced back at you and said solemnly, After all, that is the place truly safeguarded by the Divine Tree. The wind disaster ten years ago pierced through the Divine Trees Glory, demolishing almost the entire Grey Stone Street. Although many died within Winter City, the vast majority of casualties were those living outside, not a single resident under the true Glory of the Divine Tree perished. Outside Winter City, within the grounds of a vast mansion that spanned hundreds of acres and featured a variety of winter flowers. Compared to the dilapidated Grey Stone Street, this place was practically paradise. However, as this land was not within the Inner City, it was still quite cheap, and anyone with money could easily build vast and luxurious residences. At this moment, outdoors amidst falling snow, a group of servants burned a stove to dispel the cold, providing warmth for two people in a pavilion. Rat King Noss placed a black chess piece on the board with a smile on his lips. Delkus, your game has deteriorated. I win this round, he said. The old man across from him with a shifty appearance frustratingly slapped down his white piece and scoffed, Heh, youve won by just one piece, and to call me so early to play chess is outrageous. If I hadnt slept poorly, Id definitely have beaten you! Dont be hasty. Noss took a sip of tea that was almost frozen and smiled, Delkus, I came to see you this time to ask about your stance. Will you stand with me, or with Mazar? The old man suddenly fell silent, his sullen eyes glancing at Rat King Noss as he said in a dark tone, I stand nowhere. Three years ago, I stood with you, but what did that get me? Has it shortened my life? Rat King Noss laughed heartily, Youve become quite bold since becoming the Chief Justice of the Judicial Court. Ive heard that in recent years, youve sentenced many people to death without sufficient evidence, just to maintain your forest of corpses. Is that the Omen you need for your Skill Practitioner path to Sublimate and break through to Tier Four? Is the reason so many Variants were allowed into the city today that youve made some sort of agreement with Mazar? Delkus suddenly stood up from his stool and bellowed, Noss, I just want to live a few more years. Dont force me to reveal your true identities. If the City of Light knew how thoroughly your Church of Truth has infiltrated this city, even coveting the True Canon of the Winter Divine Tree, what do you think your end would be like? Were in the same boat. Your actions are even more despicable than Mazar, that hypocrite. What do you think the City of Light will do to you after theyre done with us? And my relationship with the Church of Truth is merely a partnership. S~ea??h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Rat King Noss stared straight into Delkus murky eyes and smiled, But Im different from you. You fear death, whereas I do not. In my heart, there are things that must be done even at the cost of death. Delkus roared, What things? Tell me, Noss! Let me see what youre thinking! Noss eyes abruptly changed to different colorsone dark grey, the other deep greenas his voice deepened immeasurably, I will completely reshape this world into what I desire. For that goal, I am willing to pay any price, even my own life! Delkus momentum suddenly fell. He said weakly, Mad, youre crazier than Mazar. If it hadnt been for that woman turning against you at the Festival three years ago, you probably would have completed your plan, wouldnt you? Yes, but this time there is no Liya, the old City Owner is no longer with us, and the Noah Church has evacuated entirely due to the Origin Disaster, replied Noss. Rat King narrowed his eyes and said, You should know that my goal is different from Mazars. He wishes to become the absolute ruler of this place, but he cant give you what you truly desire. The old man asked, And what can you give me? Didnt you say it? The True Canon, answered Rat King. Rat King smiled, If you could study the Truth of Divine Tree, it would help complete your Necromancy Omen to some extent, wouldnt it? Right now, the young City Owner Hill is in Mazars hands, while the two keys to unlock the seals that Liya set years ago are in mine. Mazar and I are temporarily balanced, so I need you to stand with me as the deciding factor for victory. Delkus exclaimed in shock, I thought you just wanted control, but you aim to destroy Rat King Nos sneered, raising his hand to interrupt the old mans speech, The moment I get my hands on the Truth of Divine Tree, I will use the characteristic of the calamity factor within my body to devour the power of the True Canon and directly step into the peak of Mutation Tier Four, glimpsing into the domain of a Tier Five monarch with my mortal flesh! Even if you still cant complete the Sublimation Omen, I can help you find the fragments afterwards! You will die! That thing is not meant for humans to I will certainly not die! Nos gazed at the old man before him and said in a deep voice, On the eve of approaching the twilight of life, dont you want to gamble? Mazar cant help you with this, you should know he is someone who settles for status quo! He cant help you much. Delkus fell silent for a long time, then suddenly said, What about the commander of the Winter Legion, Signo? That Powered Armor Legion under his control is a big problem, have you roped him in? Nos shook his head and said, That guy is stubborn as a mule, loyal only to the old City Owner, I cant persuade him, and he has already been suspicious of us. Delkus asked, What about the two keys you hold? I always carry one with me, and the other I was planning to bring her into the city today, but unexpectedly, she sneaked in last night. Nos smiled and said, Well, that saves me some trouble. Speaking of which, arent you a pure-blood proponent? You never use Variants for experiments, so why have you partnered with Mazar this time? Dont say you havent, I know for sure youre also involved. The old man shook his head, Actually, he also made me a promise Suddenly, both of their bodies trembled at the same time. Nos narrowed his eyes and looked up into the dense shadows above the canopy. Delkus exclaimed in surprise, What is that? Locust Disaster Lakast? How come its so soon? The timing of this Origin Disasters aftermath is not right. According to the news from the last affected city, this significantly reduced aftermath should have been at least half a day away from their location. Why had it arrived at Winter City so much earlier? Not good, Weier is still out there; I have to bring the child back. The thin Divine Tree Glory of the Outer City of Winter cant possibly withstand the prolonged erosion of the locust disaster. Damn! Nos suddenly cursed loudly, leaving Delkus utterly puzzled. Whats wrong? All the rat spies I sent out are dead again! Who did this?! Was it discovered by Mazar? Werent they very alert? That Delkus pointed at a winter tree nearby, which was rapidly frosting over, the faces of many servants also showing frost, shouting in panic. Is it possible that your rats were frozen to death? Frozen? Nos felt the temperature around him and narrowed his eyes to closely observe the surroundings, where many items exposed to the outdoors were suddenly covered with ice. He remembered a phenomenon once recorded. Nos suddenly stood up, his voice low, Delkus, I think I know why Lakast is half a day ahead. Theres only one possibility, something of its caliber must have driven it on its path here. Delkus expression froze, You mean, besides Lakasts aftermath, another unknown Origin Disaster has appeared? If Im not wrong about this cooling and freezing trait Rat King Nos, with a profound look in his eyes, said, Thirty years ago, a disaster that froze over three cities of the size of Winter City, an Origin Disaster known for bringing ice and desolationThe Third Origin Disaster, Snow Disaster Mislat. Right now, these signs are probably just the prelude. If it is the actual entity arriving this time, Im afraid we are all done for. The old man gasped. Then he suddenly thought of something, leaped up from the stone bench, and ran out like crazy, not at all like a man in his sixties or seventies. Damn! My forest farm! Chapter 79 - 79 78 Brother Luo Xis Body is So Hot~_1 ?Chapter 79: Chapter 78: Brother Luo Xis Body is So Hot~_1 Chapter 79: Chapter 78: Brother Luo Xis Body is So Hot~_1 [Traveler, you dont know the correct path to take. If you follow the main road and catch up with the residents of Grey Stone Street, you will definitely be discovered by the guards in the city.] [Weier said since we sneaked in anyway, might as well take the back roads and continue to stay hidden; hiding in the shadows is always safer than being out in the open.] [Traveler, you think the Cat Cats words make sense.] [After all, you still dont know how many old ybs are behind the scenes, ready to stir up trouble.] [In any case, heading in the direction of the Divine Tree is always right.] [Suddenly, Cat Cat said, Have you all felt its getting colder?] [Traveler, you had already noticed the change in temperature. If the outdoor temperature before was at least minus thirty degrees, now it must be around minus fifty degrees.] [The wind and snow that had just started have stopped again, but the temperature keeps dropping.] [Why does the locust plague bring such a drastic drop in temperature? Is this its inherent characteristic? But wasnt it from the warm regions of the East?] [Traveler, your mind is full of question marks, completely unable to grasp the current situation.] [Ah Q~] [The nearby Aina gave another gentle sneeze.] [The Little Wolf Girl was no longer content with just placing her hands on your arm to absorb warmth; she moved her little hand down, gently touching the back of your hand as if testing whether your body temperature was still scorching hot.] [Soon, after Aina tested and confirmed that the temperature of your hand was just right in this environment, she cautiously grabbed your hand.] [Ding! Your Happiness Level +20] [The Little Lolita exhaled a puff of white breath, her little face flushed as if she was drunk, and she said, Brother Luo Xi, youre so warm, even warmer than before~uwu~] Luo Xi: This Damn Text is getting weirder and weirder. [Note: Garbage Traveler, the one whos been weird all along is you, okay!] [Weier glanced at her sister with an expression that didnt change at all, Aina, dont make strange noises.] [Hehe~ It wasnt on purpose.] [Sister is starting to suspect that its actually you, Aina, who wants to elope with this weird guy!] [Note: Cat Cat has seen through it!] Damn Text, why do you talk so much! [Traveler, if it werent for the urgent situation, youd definitely be interested in watching the interaction between these two beast-eared sisters, but for now, lets drop it, you dont have the spare mood to be happy.] [Ding! Your Happiness Level +10] [Note: Garbage Traveler, you didnt expect to be slapped in the face so quickly, huh?] Luo Xi: Damn Text, shut up! When will this game update me with a mute function? I would definitely mute this text first thing. [Traveler, you all start moving faster, but the Winter Divine Tree is still far away. At the same time, you hear a creaking sound from the sky above, like the shattering of glass, chilling to the bone.] [How much longer can that layer of pale golden Glory last?] [Traveler, you ask, How much further do we need to walk to reach the core Blessing area you mentioned?] [Looking at you, Weier said, Do you still have the map I gave you before on you?] [A map? What map?] [Traveler, you hesitated for a moment.] [Then you remembered the Weier Version Map that you couldnt understand and had tucked away into your dreamland satchel to gather dust.] Luo Xi opened the satchel tab. He scrolled through a mess of items and text. Found it! [Traveler, you took the map out of your satchel and handed it to Weier.] [Cat Cat held the map with one hand, flicked it open with a snap.] [She pointed at the center of the map, the Winter City, and said, The layout of Winter City is a near circle with a radius of about seven kilometers. However, theres a large blank space from the outer city wall to the core area, mostly filled with vast fields and production sites as well as some manor houses built by high-ranking persons. The core protective region should be within about a three-kilometer radius centered on the Divine Tree, which accommodates at least over three hundred thousand of Winter Citys population. The remaining scattered population is spread out in the wild parts within the city.] [Weier drew a few more circles at the center of the map with her fingertip and continued, But Ive heard my mother say before that this core area is divided into several different tiers. The closer one lives to the Divine Tree, the more power and wealth they have. The so-called high-ranking persons are themthey control over ninety percent of the citys wealth, own large tracts of land rights, while many residents living in the outer rings have very poor living conditions. Although, definitely better than our Grey Stone Street.] [Traveler, Cat Cats description strangely gave you a sense of dj vu.] [Isnt this just another otherworld version of the world youre from?] [Even with Variants as the lowest stratum of society, are there still ordinary people living on the fringes of the bottom in the big city?] [So we need to figure out how to get inside here? you asked.] [Weier looked up at the sky and murmured softly, We must find a way in. I dont mind, but you two need to survive] [Traveler, you found Cat Cats words a bit odd.] [What does she mean by I dont mind?] [However, Aina, being engrossed in warmth, seemed not to have heard what Weier said. The cat-eared girl did not repeat her words either.] [Traveler, on your forward journey, you discovered numerous manors and castle-like grand buildings nestled among the mountains and forests.] [However, these places were all deserted.] [Should we speed up the progress?] Luo Xi glanced at the time again. 7:30. Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Yes.] [Accelerating] X30. [Traveler, after clambering over many furrows and small hills, you finally saw many row upon row of buildings appearing ahead. That is a true city with a variety of different architectural styles, from the outermost edge to the center around the Divine Tree. The closer to the Divine Tree, the more grandiose and taller the architecture, with wider land coverage. On the contrary, near the edge, the low-rise houses, no taller than two stories, were densely packed together.] [Different from the pale golden glow that guarded the walls of Winter City, a nearly transparent silver glow centered around the Winter Divine Tree, three to four hundred meters tall, wrapped around all the structures in that area.] [What was astonishing is that this Inner City had no walls.] [Naturally, whatever could breach the outer golden barrier wouldnt be stopped by mere walls.] [Weier breathed a sigh of relief, Finally here.] [The black plague in the sky doesnt seem to be coming down anytime soon, giving you three time to figure out how to get inside.] [Weier called out softly, Its the residents of Grey Stone Street!] [You saw the residents of Grey Stone Street currently being held at the edge of the silver glow, led by a group of guards. Someone was holding something, apparently checking the residents bodies one by one, and only after passing, were they led inside.] [Traveler, you asked, What are they checking for?] [Cat Cat said, You should have seen that crystal ball before, its used for detecting the degree of mutation.] Chapter 80 - 80 79 Well done Bro Bustard (Seeking first ?Chapter 80: Chapter 79 Well done, Bro Bustard! (Seeking first subscription!) _1 Chapter 80: Chapter 79 Well done, Bro Bustard! (Seeking first subscription!) _1 [As time progressed, some people were let in, following the guards they were taken into the city, while others were left behind.] [Traveler, you saw someone trying to sneak in, but they were repelled by the layer of Glory from the Divine Tree core and bounced out. Immediately after, they were decapitated by the arriving guards, with their blood quickly freezing upon the snowy ground. Witnessing this, soon no one dared to try and force their way through.] [Weiers eyes widened in shock, The Glory from the Divine Tree core actually has the effect of repelling people? How does it determine if we are allowed in? Is it the degree of Mutation? Or do we need a pass?] [Crack, crack] [Before Cat Cat could come up with an answer, Traveler, you heard another sound resembling glass breaking.] [The guards and soldiers clearly panicked, until a crisp shattering sound resounded, and a massive void tore open in the pale golden light above the firmament.] [Even though the golden light healed itself the next moment, a portion of dark entities still managed to squeeze in like a wave.] [Traveler, you could hear the soldiers shouts from over there.] [Hurry, move faster! Those damned things are coming down! If it comes to it, forget about them and save yourselves!] [Go! Luo Xi, take Aina with you!] [After Weier shouted out, Traveler, you grabbed Little Aina by your side and began to sprint towards the distance.] Luo Xi also started to feel tense. Its not enough, he needs to see the Locust Disaster Lakast for himself in the Dream world. What exactly is it?! His Dreamworld Sync Module was still cooling down, but the Immersion talent could already be used.] [Please choose the talent mode you wish to activate.] [Happiness] [You have spent 896 points of Happiness Level.] [Immersion (Happiness): In this state, your character will receive a +89.6% Strength bonus, and your resistance to negative mental Skills will increase by +89.6%.

[Traveler, welcome to your journey in Dreamland~] /// Luo Xi blinked. The piercing cold wind cut at his face like a knife. He was now running forward mechanically, with Little Aina, petite and round, by his side, closely followed by a light figure. Ahead, the Inner City, enshrouded in an almost invisible silver radiance, collided with the black entities falling from the sky, dense like the dark clouds plummeting down. Several black dots clung to the silver light, like blood-sucking insects. How should he describe what hes seeing? Luo Xi could not think of the words to do so. As a person with a mild phobia of clusters, he always kept his distance from such dense, swarming things. Just looking at it was enough to make ones scalp tingle to the extreme. But if even the Divine Tree Glory of the Inner City couldnt stop the Locust Disaster, then was there still any point in them entering the Inner City? The next moment, he saw the silver light shine as warmly as the sun. The Divine Tree, hundreds of meters tall and previously motionless, shuddered slightly, and the brightness of the silver Glory surged violently. If the previous light was like a transparent veil, then now it was a silver sun! In an instant, all the black entities covering the light turned into black smoke, as if snow meeting the scorching heat of the sun. Weier also cheered at the sight. It was clear that the remnants of the Locust Disaster, having broken through the outer layer of Blessing once, lacked the strength to breach it a second time in the short term. They were now only about five hundred meters away from the Inner City. If the Divine Tree Glory of the Inner City could hold it back, then as long as they could enter the Inner City, they would be temporarily safe. However, Luo Xi saw that the black smoke was reaccumulating and condensing back into its original form, albeit in fewer numbers. Those things can resurrect! As if possessing intelligence, after suffering a setback, they did not strike at the Inner Citys Glory again but instead fluttered around. Some of them turned their attention to the residents of Grey Stone Street who were still not allowed to enter. The rest scattered in all directions, with a group of about a dozen black entities heading towards Luo Xi and his group. Hum, hum, hum The high-frequency wing beats and the eerily cold sensation made ones skin crawl just listening to it, causing both a tingling scalp and chilled blood. Luo Xi finally saw clearly that this so-called Locust Disaster was composed of black, insect-like creatures with wings, like locusts magnified n times. No wonder its called the Locust Disaster. Just seeing their sharp mouthparts and razor-like limbs was enough to imagine the fate of those caught or bitten by them. And there were millions of such creatures. If it hadnt been for the outer layer of Divine Tree Glory blocking most of them, this place would probably have become Hell. Is this just the aftermath of the Locust Disaster? If these are just the remnants, what level of calamity is the main body of the disaster? What a dire world the people of this Dream world must live in. Weier shouted, Luo Xi, the scroll! Luo Xi immediately reacted. He searched the text before him for the storage space, took out the box containing the scrolls, and tossed it to Cat Cat. Weier leapt nimbly, caught the box in her embrace, and without any sign of opening it, she simply stretched her hands inward, and several scrolls appeared in her grip. Put the rest back! The girl tossed the box back, then spread open the scrolls in her hands. Countless runes swelled up, and in an instant, the sky filled with flames struck with precision, just like swiftly flying arrows, the black locusts that approached their vicinity. [Tier Four Skill, Staff of Heavenly Fire!] It can precisely strike objects that threaten the user. Although it was just a single-use skill scroll, using it once meant one less in their possession, and the price was exorbitant; this one required at least 10 jin of Essence Crystals, which is 100 gold coins.] The price was similar to the purification scroll used on Luo Xi previously. Thanks to the delay provided by the heavenly fire, Luo Xi and his two companions finally reached the outskirts of the Inner Citys Glory. They were several hundred meters away from the residents of Grey Stone Street. The guards had all left, but, leaving behind at least a few hundred residents of Grey Stone Street, many of whom had died under the first wave of the black locusts, turning into black dust without leaving a trace. It was like hell. The remaining survivors continuously knocked and slammed against the Divine Trees Glory, but they received no response at all. While protecting the residents of the Inner City, this layer of Glory was also an insurmountable moat to them. Weier reached out and touched the Glory in front of her. Her hand recoiled as if it had been shocked. Luo Xi placed Aina to one side and reached out to touch it as well. Similarly, he felt a powerful force repel him. Just as Aina was about to try, Weier stopped her. There was no need to try again. Its likely that only the guards or the residents themselves would be able to enter normally. Weier narrowed her eyes. Rat King Noss, are you watching me now? If I am indeed so crucial to you, then you wouldnt allow me to die easily, right? Why not come out now? Brother Jiuge, what are you doing standing around like idiots outside? Isnt it dangerous out there? Luo Xi suddenly looked up. Across the silver Glory, a young man wearing a thick coat looked at him with surprise through a fence. Oh, do you not have a pass? The young man fumbled in his pocket and threw a card from within the Glory, saying, Here, a temporary pass for Winter Citys Inner City. Without this thing, you could break your heads and still wouldnt be able to get in. But this temporary pass is limited in use. Now it looks like there are just three chances left, which is just perfect for you guys. Remember, one person per use. No one had expected that, in a context where pureblood humans held such extreme disdain and aversion towards Mutant Patients, someone would actually be willing to give a Variants an Inner City pass. Luo Xi picked up the card from the ground. This blue card, like some sort of crystal, bore the mark of a snowflake. He reached out to touch the silver Glory again. This time, he successfully pushed his hand into the Glory. With a light leap, Luo Xi entered the Glory, effortlessly climbing over the fence. What he saw seemed to be a spacious courtyard, where the snow had apparently been cleared away. Sss Hearing the sound of the locusts flying outside, Luo Xi quickly threw the pass out again. Weier hurriedly picked up the pass, placed it in Ainas hand, then lifted her little sister and threw her inside. Luo Xi reached out to catch Aina, then passed the pass back out, and Weier took hold of it and entered as well. With that, the blue pass cracked in half with a snapping sound, and subsequently turned into white powder. The young man looked on with some regret, How did it break? I was planning to sell it after it ran out of uses. This kind of unseen mineral could definitely sell for a lot of money where we are from. Luo Xi looked at the young man and nodded, Anyway, thanks a lot for this time. Weier also said, Thank you for saving us. Cat Cat definitely remembered this person as the young man they had encountered on the road the day before yesterday. She had casually given him a made-up address. She had not expected to be saved by him today. This left Weier feeling somewhat guilty. The young man laughed nonchalantly, Its fine, it was just a temporary pass worth 5 silver coins. I made a big win at the casino yesterday, so this small amount of money is just a drop in the bucket. Luo Xi: This Dream World really has everything. That said, things players wouldnt dare to do in reality, they could do in this world without any worries. Murder, robbery, eating, drinking, floating, gambling. What is this, a human scum training game? Aina whispered, Thank you, Uncle. The young man was taken aback and looked at Little Wolf Girl, Uncle? Little sister, who are you calling? Aina was startled and ran behind Luo Xi, who had a comparatively larger frame, to hide. The young man glanced at the two Lolitas. Although both were wearing cotton hats, he was sure that these two were probably the same Beast Eared Girls that this fellow had with him that day, right? The young man jokingly said, Brother, you didnt really make a move on these beast-eared girls of such young age in this Dream World, did you? Although Ive dabbled in all sorts of things these past two days, what youve done is clearly more bustard! Its settled then, from now on you are my half-brother of different mothers! Luo Xi: (p)! No, theres definitely something off about this guy! Who compares their misdeeds like this? And I havent laid a hand on these two beast-eared girls at all! Chapter 81 - 81 80 What is Loli-con Uncle _1 ?Chapter 81: Chapter 80 What is Loli-con Uncle? _1 Chapter 81: Chapter 80 What is Loli-con Uncle? _1 Luo Xi took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. He asked, Are you living here now, bro? And what place is this? Its the backyard of an inn. I was in my room and heard the excitement outside, so I turned on the synchronization module to check it out, and just happened to run into you guys. As the young man spoke, he suddenly remembered something and burst out angrily, Brother Jiuge, you have no idea how ridiculous the real estate prices are here. Even in the outermost ring, it costs twenty gold coins per square meter. Dont even mention the inner areas. When you convert it, its even more expensive than my familys villa. Right, are you in a synchronized state now? How much time do you have left? Can you see my face clearly? Damn it. Those gamblers in the casinos couldnt handle me winning and played dirty tricks on me, causing the City Guards to beat me up, and they almost swelled up my face. Luo Xi: This guy must be a chatterbox in real life too! How come he hasnt stopped talking since he started? He glanced at the young mans face. Not bad, quite a handsome lad. He must be a scumbag-level playboy in reality. Too bad he has a mouth. The young man laughed again, I forgot, we both have a mosaic over our faces. How could you possibly see my face clearly? Anyway, brother, whats your name? It feels weird to keep calling you Chu Jiuge; you dont have to tell me your real name, just your surname will do. And Im really surnamed Chu, with the given name Tian. I wont tell you where Im from for now. Luo Xi paused before saying, Luo. Chu Tian nodded and said, Luo? Then hello, Brother Luo. Ive been wanting to communicate more with you since the day before yesterday, but you were in a hurry to deal with heavy metal smelting, so I didnt want to disturb you. Its nice to have this chance today; our fate seems really deep! Luo Xi was filled with black lines. What a bunch of nonsense. Luo Xi checked his synchronization time. [Remaining synchronization time: 4 minutes 19 seconds] He said, Not much time left. Good, once the time is up, Im out. It definitely wont be as headache-inducing to read texts through a screen. Oh, said Chu Tian with a hint of regret, Communicating through text always feels weird, and it always spews out a bunch of embarrassing things that I cant stop. Damn, I cant even take them back. Like that time I called you a loli-con, it was because this text acted on its own. I didnt really want to shout that. Luo Xi: Has this guy ever considered that the reason his texts say those things is because he is exactly that kind of person? [Note: Garbage Traveler, have you ever considered that youre still thinking about how to abduct two beast-eared girls is exactly because you are a suspicious loli-con pervert?] Luo Xi (Fxxk) glared at the text that popped up. Shut up, damn text. I have zero interest in little brats; how could I be a loli-con! [Note: So, Dream World is different from the world you, Traveler, are from, eh? The tsundere mature cat-eared ladies and the adorable clingy little wolf-eared girls arent tempting?] Luo Xi suddenly fell into thought. This text almost seems to have a point? Weier and Aina were both blankly listening to the two mens conversation. Theyve been babbling on about some peculiar things since they entered this place. They had no clue what the two were discussing. What about the text, the loli-cons, or even heavy metal smelting? Whats all this about? Cant they talk in a way thats understandable? Aina poked her head out from behind Luo Xi and asked in a soft voice, Uncle, what is a loli? The young man chuckled, Loli refers to cute girls like you who havent grown up yet. Then what is a loli-con? Thats someone who likes immature girls like you. But someone like your uncle I mean, me as an older brother, I prefer the mature ones, preferably the skilled widows who know every trick in the book. The Little Wolf Girl blinked innocently, So is Luo Brother a loli-con? Stop stop stop! Luo Xi quickly put a stop to the young mans words. My Little Wolf Girl is so innocent (?), I cant let her be filled with all sorts of strange knowledge. He had figured out that this big brother was a super chatterbox who couldnt stop talking if his life depended on it, daring to say anything, even casually mentioning his own sexual inclination like it was no big deal. Alright, alright, Ill stop talking. Chu Tian smiled, looked up and glanced outside, and said, Speaking of which, whats actually going on outside? Ive been hearing this crackling sound since a while ago, and it should be daylight by now, right? Why does it feel as dark as dusk? Just then, a black locust flew over and smashed into the outer side of the silver glow, startling Chu Tian into retreating several steps. Damn, what the heck is that? Luo Xi inquired, You dont know? What should I know? Chu Tian got up from the ground and took another look outside. Just at that moment, someone ran past him and a swarm of black locusts caught up, sucking him into a pile of powder that scattered with the wind and snow. Chu Tian: Damn. Luo Xi frowned and asked, Didnt you trigger a mission just now? The young man spread his hands: The mission just now? Nope. Luo Xi pondered for a moment. Perhaps, just by entering this city, one might be safe from the aftermath of the Locust Disaster Lakast? So thats why no mission was triggered? Ill go outside and take a look. Chu Tian evidently thought of the same possibility and thus climbed over the fence, jumping out directly. Weier and Aina watched the young mans agile movements in astonishment. Cat Cat tugged at the corner of her mouth, Didnt he already lose his visa? Aina blinked, Perhaps this uncle has a second visa? Not long after the young man went out, his expression suddenly brightened, and then he attempted to run back. At that moment, his forehead hit the glow. With a pop, he was bounced back by the glow. Luo Xi: Sarch* The NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Aina grabbed Luo Xis sleeve, >_< and said, This uncle hes been blown away! He cant come back! Brother Luo Xi, what should we do? This uncle who saved us is going to die. If only we hadnt used up all the visa entries Uh Luo Xi thought to himself that this guy, being a game player, could just resurrect anytime and anywhere, so it wasnt a big deal. He wondered what the sight of players resurrecting looked like in the eyes of people from this world. Weier doubted whether she was fully awake yet. What was this person doing? She couldnt understand it at all! Squeak The back door of the inn suddenly opened, and a blue visa flew down, accurately landing on the outside of the silver glow. Guest, use this. The young man quickly picked up the visa and re-entered the glow just before the nearby black locusts flew over to chew him up. Luo Xi turned his head to look. A blonde woman in a white cotton dress leaned against the door frame. With her blue eyes, she glanced at the trio of Luo Xi, and then at Chu Tian with a flirtatious, almost smiling expression: This guest, you really did make trouble for me, allowing someone into the city who shouldnt have come in. Shouldnt I have already told you that Variants shouldnt be let into the city? Tell me, how should I help you cover this up? You wouldnt want to be chased out of Winter City now, would you? Chapter 82 - 82 81 The Shop Owner Who Studied in Island ?Chapter 82: Chapter 81: The Shop Owner Who Studied in Island Country_1 Chapter 82: Chapter 81: The Shop Owner Who Studied in Island Country_1 Luo Xi: The tone of this blonde woman perhaps she had studied in the Island Country for a while. Come on, Shopkeeper Lena, theyre my friends. Could you please make an exception for us? The youth quickly went over and said, How about I pay you three times the room fee? After all, your inn always seems to be empty, with more money going out than coming in. It feels like youre hardly making ends meet. In a way, Im bringing you some guests. Lenas cheerful expression changed as she said angrily, Is this about the room fee? Your behavior of sneaking Variants into the Inner Cityif the City Guard find out, not just you, but I would be punished, or even expelled! Sister. At this, Weier unwrapped her scarf and spoke softly, Sister, how much is your room fee? We can offer ten times that, no, just name your price. We only hope you can let us stay here until the danger outside has passed, and as soon as its over, we will leave immediately without lingering a moment. Oh? Ten times? You Mutant Patients from outside, do you really have that much money? Lenas anger subsided as she turned to look at Weier; upon seeing the young girls delicate face, she was slightly taken aback. This strikingly similar face and eyes Weier: ? Cat Cat tilted her head. Why did this woman suddenly stop talking? Its not that you cant stay, but the risk for me is simply too great. Ten times the room fee is far from enough. The shop owners tone shifted, and a cunning smile formed on her lips: I want fifty times the room fee. A night at my place originally costs two silver coins. If you want to stay here, its 10 gold coins per day, not one coin less, or Ill report to the City Guard right away and let them come to catch people. Maybe that way, I can still get a few silver coins as bounty. The young mans face changed, and he shouted, 10 gold coins for one day? Shopkeeper Lena, you really are a profiteer! You could just rob us directly, but youre looking for an excuse. Im crying to death Bang! After a heavy thud, Chu Tian lay down as commanded, falling back on the snowy ground in the courtyard, with a visible bump swelling rapidly on his forehead. Luo Xi: Frankly speaking, if it werent for the fact that Otherworld Travelers cant actually die in the Dream world, he would suspect that his brother, who always spouted lotuses, would have been sent off long ago. [Note: Unlucky Traveler, youre not doing any better, huh? If it werent for your physique that attracts beast eared Lolitas, you would have been sent off more often than him.] Is this Damn Text not annoying!? Lena put away her fist and said with a smile, So, are you staying or not? Aina peeked at this blonde woman, wrinkled her little nose, then retracted her head. This woman is terrifying! Although she smells pretty good, shes just too frightening. Well, thank you, shopkeeper. Well just need one room. Weier nodded, pulling a scroll from her bosom; it was one she had taken extra from the box earlier. Cat Cat seemed to realize something. Without mentioning those already used, they had never sold a scroll in three years; yet, these past two days, they had already sold quite a few. She said, This is a Third-tier Skill scroll, it should cover one days room fee. Skill scroll? Shopkeeper Lenas body stiffened. She took the scroll, glanced at it briefly, then turned to look at Weier, with a curious expression in her eyes. I agree to let you stay, but you mustnt leave your room at will, and if youre discovered by the City Guard afterward, it has nothing to do with me, otherwise I suppose you wouldnt want to be taken away by the City Guard either, right? Luo Xi: Of course, we wont cause you any trouble, Sister, Weier said with a nod and a light laugh. We understand you have your difficulties too. In fact, just allowing us to stay is already an unexpected joy for us. My mother used to tell me that everyone in Winter City extremely rejects Mutant Patients. Sister, youre truly kind-hearted. Lena covered her lips and laughed, You call me sister so sweetly. Though your mouth is sweet, I like it. Follow me, the only guest I have right now is this chatterbox, so you dont have to worry about being discovered by anyone else. With the Blessing of the Winter Divine Tree, this catastrophe should end by tomorrow at the latest. You only need to stay at my place for one day. The woman took the scroll and turned to go inside the inn. Luo Xi and Cat Cat exchanged glances. The two communicated silently for a moment. Compared to looking for a place outside and leaving it up to luck, this situation they found themselves in wasnt half bad. Not only did they enter the Inner City, but they also found a place to rest. However, if the shopkeeper turned around and reported them Then there was nothing they could do about it. Luo Xi thought that if the worst came to the worst, he could just rewind time. Weier glanced back at the residents of Grey Stone Street who were still struggling outside the silvery glow. The young girls eyes looked somewhat downcast. Then, her expression hardened with resolve once more. Just keeping oneself alive was difficult enoughwho had spare energy to worry about others? This world was just that cruel to the underprivileged. Shopkeeper Lena, shes definitely tough, but actually, shes not too bad, said Chu Tian as he rose from the snow, holding the lump on his forehead and grimacing in pain. The day before yesterday when I first got into the city, I was walking too confidently and got beaten up by some passing City Guards. I nearly lost my life, but it was the shopkeeper who pleaded for me. S~ea??h the N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Chu Tian suddenly leaned in close to Luo Xi, lowering his voice, But youve got to watch out for yourself, brother. We dont mind, but as you know, the natives of the Dream World arent like us. If those two beast-eared little lolitas youre crafting die, its for real. Luo Xi nodded gravely. Only then did he realize what the guy had said. Whats this about the two beast-eared lolitas Im crafting? No, he really wanted to give this guy a beating. Sigh. The young man turned around with a sad face, saying, Its a shame. There are beast-eared big sisters out there waiting for me to save them, but I dont have the ability to rescue them now. I can only give more money next time Im there. By the way, brother, are you lucky at all? Those two beast-eared lolitas of yours seem like theyre loaded. Are you interested in hitting the gambling house with me? From bicycle to motorcycle, we could buy a house here in the outer ring by tomorrow. I think the real estate business in this world might have a future [Traveler, time synchronization for this session ends in 0 seconds] [Look forward to your next visit~] As his consciousness began to withdraw, Luo Xi breathed a sigh of relief. Listening to that guy talk was truly torture. Opening his eyes on the bed, Luo Xi checked the time on his phone. It was 8:10 am. [Traveler, Chu Tian went on and on about all kinds of things, but you ignored them all] Good, the damn text finally did something right. [The interior of the inn resembles Western European-style architecture that you, Traveler, have seen in reality] [Under the guidance of Shopkeeper Lena, you were led to the second floor of the inn. There are about ten rooms on this floor, and she provided you with one that is approximately twenty square meters in size] [The shopkeeper told you that everything in the room is free to use, but damages will need to be compensated tenfold. The inn does not provide three meals a day, but considering your difficulty in moving about outside, she would personally cook and provide meals for you today] [Chu Tian would like to have a heart-to-heart conversation with you alone in his room] [Do you agree?] Luo Xi pondered for a moment. This was indeed a good opportunity. They were all gamers, and he had even been saved by the young man once. It would be nice to exchange information with each other. [Traveler, you explained the situation to Weier and Aina, telling them you wanted to catch up with this fellow Traveler from your hometown] [The two little lolitas didnt think much of it] [Go ahead and catch up then. Ill chat with the two little sisters,] said the shopkeeper as she pushed the two men into the next room, while she herself entered the room of the two lolitas and then slammed the door shut. Luo Xi: Why did the shopkeeper want to talk to Cat Cat and Aina? Why did it feel like something was a bit off? Chapter 83 - 83 82 Change the Cats Small Tongue to a ?Chapter 83: Chapter 82 Change the Cats Small Tongue to a Cat-eared Girl~ (Please subscribe!)_1 Chapter 83: Chapter 82 Change the Cats Small Tongue to a Cat-eared Girl~ (Please subscribe!)_1 Luo Xi put on his clothes and climbed out of bed. Now that they were temporarily safe in the Dream world, he didnt need to keep an eye on his phone at all times. After all, he had already used up both synchronization opportunities, and he could simply check the text display while working. You should play the game well, but you also need to live a normal life in reality. Otherwise, where would the living expenses come from? Could it possibly be from the game? Luo Xi was stunned. Hmm? Could that really work? S~ea??h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Apart from the Skill scrolls that couldnt be sold, could he possibly copy some book copies from the stuff at Cat Cats place and sell them to the Dreamland Travel Management Bureau? Knowledge is very important when learning about another unknown civilization. Or perhaps he could simply trade with other Traveler players? But there was no rush for these ideas. He hadnt had much contact with the Dreamland Travel Bureau yet, and later on, he might have the chance to see if they had any common shared messages over there. A WeChat message suddenly popped up. [Ai Xue: Luo Xi senior, are you awake? Youre coming to work today, right? Dont forget, you are our star attraction today. Whether our cat cafe will catch on in one go depends on you.] [Luo Xi: Im already up. Whats this about being the star attraction??? Isnt my job to feed the cats as a breeder?] [Ai Xue: Hehe |???`) Senior, youll know when you get here, it definitely wont increase your workload~] [Luo Xi: Okay] Although Luo Xi felt like he might have fallen into some kind of trap, Ai Xue had already given him an advance of seven thousand in salary, so he had no reason not to go to work. After all, one should maintain a bit of integrity. While Luo Xi got out of bed and went downstairs to brush his teeth and wash up, his in-game character had already completed a series of conversations with that Chu Tian. Ninety percent of it was nonsense. Fortunately, the conversations were displayed in text form. If they had been spoken into his ear, Luo Xi felt he might have gone crazy. Of course, this youngster named Chu Tian was also quite interesting. He talked about his xp preferences, like how great the full-bodied Beast Eared Girls were, then casually slandered Luo Xi as a lolicon. Then, with a change of tone, he suddenly talked about his own life in reality. [Traveler, the other party tells you that he is the only son of the chairman of a listed company in reality, having tasted too many women in his twenty-eight years of life. But the more he experienced, the more he realized the mediocrity and incompetence of humanity.] [Just a year ago, he discovered he had lost interest in human females. It wasnt until recently, when he encountered this game and experienced the wonders of a Beast Eared Girl, that his interest was rekindled.] [Therefore, as the two of you are among the first batch of players to meet by fate in this Dream world, he strongly invites you to exchange information with him.] Luo Xi was so astonished that it was almost overwhelming. [Brother Luo, if youre facing difficulties in reality, you can tell me too.] [Chu Tians tone was very earnest: My real name is Chu Tian, Im not lying to you. You are the first friend Ive made in this world, so I dont want to hide too much from you. Revealing my identity or whatever, it doesnt matter, I suppose youve also received the Dreamland Travel Bureau email, right? The authorities already know our information.]] [Traveler, you nodded your head.] [The young man continued: To understand this world more quickly, individual power is ultimately weak. I really need a comrade like you, with similar goals and aspirations. If you want to find me in reality, you can call my phone number 136xxxxx.]] Luo Xi: This guywas he just na?ve to reveal his information to him, or was he planning from the beginning to gain his trust with lies to extract his information in return? Of course, Luo Xi would rather believe that this guy was just a na?ve rich young master than the latter suspicion. After all, the extent of his babbling didnt seem like something a crafty person would do. The direction of the conversation changed quickly again. [Brother Luo, where did you come from? I came from a nearby town. When I arrived that day, I was almost chased to death by a pack of Chasing Wind Wolves. Theres also a big tree in that town, just not as tall as the one in Winter City, probably around seventy or eighty meters]] [Traveler, you told the other party you were born in a nearby region and because you were infected by the Mutant Factor, you were restricted from entering Winter City.] [You took off the hat from your own head and showed him the horns that had appeared.] [The young man suddenly exclaimed, Damn! Brother, youre way too cool, those red and black dragon horns are just too stylish! Quick, tell me how to spawn a pair like that. Even though Variants have a pretty lethal debuff when entering the city, looking cool is all that matters!] Luo Xi: Alright, it was confirmed, this guys brain had to have some issues. [Traveler, you tell him that you spawned with these talents at the start and also explained to him what you heard from Weier about the Mutant Factor] [The other party was greatly amazed and a bit regretful that he couldnt get such cool dragon horns for himself, and then he started muttering about whether he should try to get a pair of fox ears or something] Luo Xi was doing just that, interacting with Chu Tian while tapping on the screen, brushing his teeth, and washing up. Then he went out to a breakfast shop to buy some buns and soy milk, hailed a car with his smartphone app, and headed towards Wanxiang City. Fifteen minutes later, he arrived at the grand square of Wanxiang City. I remember Ai Xue said it was number 159? Walking around the base of Wanxiang City, Luo Xi suddenly saw a whole glass curtain wall with a Cat Cat logo at the corner of the large complex. Store name: Cat Caf at the Corner. Well, indeed, he stumbled upon it right around the corner. Although it was only 8:40 AM, as it was his first day at work, Luo Xi naturally wouldnt wait until the exact start time to walk in. The shops exterior was already adorned with a red carpet and many flower baskets. Luo Xi strolled in through the glass door with a swagger. Welcome, sir, we are not open yet today. Please wait a moment The girl at the front desk froze when she saw Luo Xis face, she naturally remembered the face of the ethereal young man in the set of photos. At the moment, although he wasnt as fairy-like without the photo filter, he was still exceptionally handsome, easily a nine out of ten. Luo Xi said, Hello, Im here for work. Ive already talked to Ai Xue, where is she? The girl mumbled, Only 7000, Xiao Xue made a big profit. Luo Xi: ??? What on earth is this girl talking about? Mu Mu, the cat food and everything have already been brought back, come and help Luo Xi, youve arrived? I thought you were going to be late. Come on, give us a hand. Ai Xue shouted in surprise when she saw Luo Xi. Im here. Luo Xi nodded and stepped forward, taking the box from her and placing it to the side. At that moment, he heard several meows. Luo Xi turned around and saw dozens of cats of various appearances lying along the wall. There were British Shorthairs, Garfield cats, orange cats, and even several expensive Ragdolls, all sprawled on sofas and cushions, napping in the warm sunlight filtering through the glass curtain wall. A place filled with drowsiness and warmth. In the context of modern societys rapid pace of life, such places must be infinitely attractive to some people. With the right promotion and reasonable prices, attracting customers shouldnt be a problem. Meow~ A snow-white cat came over, rubbed against Luo Xis foot, and lay down. Luo Xi crouched down and held the cat in his arms. Meow~ The cat licked his fingers. Luo Xi played with the cats tiny tongue momentarily. Warm, small, and a bit prickly. He couldnt help but think, what if this cat were replaced with that proud Cat-eared Girl Luo Xi suddenly shook his head hard. Damn, am I getting a bit weird too? Chapter 84 - 84 83 Luo Xi who bullied my sister is even ?Chapter 84: Chapter 83: Luo Xi, who bullied my sister, is even weirder!_1 Chapter 84: Chapter 83: Luo Xi, who bullied my sister, is even weirder!_1 Senior, stop playing with the cats, our opening ceremony is about to start. Ai Xue dragged the still distracted Luo Xi outside, shot two colorful ribbons into the sky, and had her best friend snap a few photos for WeChat Moments. I declare, around the corner youll encounter Cat Caf, officially open for business starting today! Luo Xi quickly realized he had indeed fallen into a trap. Once the cat caf officially opened, customers began to trickle in, and Ai Xue and the girl called Mu Mu were busy making coffee and serving visitors. However, Luo Xi wasnt given any tasks involving serving customers. At the moment, he was sitting on a sofa that one could see upon entering the caf, surrounded by cats that were walking around him with a few even brazenly lying on him seeking pets. He really is Druid Brother! Lets take a few pictures first. Many students who hurried over from the school did so because they knew from that days group of photos that the young man attracting a large number of stray cats worked here and they wanted to take a look. The ability to attract cats was too magical; many didnt believe it was real, suspecting that he had sprayed himself with catnip. However, seeing it today compelled them to acknowledge that life truly isnt fair. The cats were in a state of catnip-induced euphoria, occasionally meowing a couple of times, too content to leave Luo Xis side. A customer approached and asked, Excuse me, may I pet the cat on you? Of course you can. Luo Xi smiled at the customer, single-handedly lifted the cat in his arms, and handed it over, while glancing at his phone placed to the side, occasionally tapping the screen. This job really was idle. But it had nothing to do with being a zookeeper, right? This should be called a signboard grandpa? He had this odd feeling of being kept by a rich young lady. Ai Xue, this little devil of a junior, had she calculated all of this from the start? Luo Xi glanced over at Ai Xue who was gleefully grinding coffee beans, making coffee, and chatting with customers at the counter. Feeling his gaze, Ai Xue smiled sweetly, Senior, whats wrong? Nothing much After thinking it over, Luo Xi found that this signboard grandpa job was actually pretty nice; he also had time to play Dawn. It was now 9:15 AM. In the game, he and that Chu Tian had been exchanging ideas in the room for nearly an hour. It had to be said that the guy was incredibly talkative to an absurd level. Luo Xi was initially interested in meeting this person in real life, but then thought better of it; it was annoying enough through the screen, wouldnt an offline meeting risk being bombarded by his nonsense to the point of a cerebral hemorrhage? By the way, how were things going between Cat Cat and that shop owner? Nothing bad had happened, right? Luo Xi focused his attention back on his phone. [Traveler, you hear a knocking sound at the door.] [Brother Luo Xi, are you still there?] [The voice of Aina came through the wooden door.] [Chu Tian stopped his incessant chatter.] [Traveler, you went to open the door and saw Little Wolf Girl with a look of panic on her face, immediately sensing that something might be wrong.] [Whats wrong?] [Brother Luo Xi, that weird big sister she did something to Sister Weier] [Traveler, you rushed out and kicked open the door of the adjacent room with force.] You dare lay hands on my Cat Cat! Then, you saw Weier on the bed in the room, forced into a corner, her slender cat tail raised, her whole body bristled, and innkeeper Lena with a face full of pleasure. Both of them turned their heads to look at you. Traveler, you silently closed the door and said, Sorry, wrong way.'' Weier quickly shouted, Brother Luo Xi, dont go! This person is problematic!'' Whos problematic now?! Innkeeper Lena said, I already told you that your mother taught me how to draw scrolls, and I showed you the same techniques, why dont you believe me?'' Who said youre problematic? Didnt I say I believe you already!'' Cat Cat dodged the hand reaching for her and gasped softly, I mean the way youre touching me, its just like that weirdo Luo Xi, no, even more twisted. At least when he was handsy with Aina, he was subtle, but you went straight for it!'' Ding! Your Anger Value +10 Traveler, you instinctively glanced at the Little Wolf Girl who had taken off her cotton cap, her wolf ears stood erect, and the white fur inside looked very soft. Want to pet~ Note: Useless traveler, getting angry is futile, you are the one who is suspicious and perverted! The next moment, the woman in front of Weier appeared before her eyes like a gust of wind and opened her arms wide to embrace the girl. Cat Cat was pressed against the wall, with half her shoulder already merging into it. However, Weier hesitated for a moment, stopped resisting, and allowed the woman to hold her in her embrace. So good. The voice that came from Lena was soft and gentle, completely different from before. Master Liya, she really still has children, she never told me about you, Im sorry, I shouldve gone to find you sooner, it shouldve been me looking for you Time goes back to about fifty minutes earlier. Lena closed the door, brushed her golden long hair, and turned around with a smile. She eyed the two petite girls in front of her with her sky-blue eyes. Aina timidly hid behind her big sister again. In fact, she wanted to be with Brother Luo Xi, but she was also worried about leaving her sister alone, so she stayed. Lena walked gracefully and sat on the sofa in the room, slightly raising one leg. You should take off your hats. Weier was startled. What was this person trying to do? But since she already knew their identities, there was no harm in removing their hats to reveal the Mutation traits. Both Lolitas took off their hats and scarves that covered their heads. Lenas gaze moved from Ainas face to Weiers, watching her seriously and carefully. Weier asked in confusion, Um, sister, what are you Shhh! Sar?h the Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Lena made a gesture to silence her. The sisters Weier and Aina looked at each other, puzzled. What was happening? Several minutes passed just like that. Just as Weier couldnt bear it anymore and was about to speak out, the woman opposite suddenly said: Its so similar, too similar. Even though there are Mutation features and the body shape doesnt quite match, your face, your eyes, they are almost identical to hers. Little sister, do you have a relative named Liya Sofia? Chapter 85 - 85 84 Ainas brother-in-law is going to become ?Chapter 85: Chapter 84: Ainas brother-in-law is going to become her sisters brother-in-law~_1 Chapter 85: Chapter 84: Ainas brother-in-law is going to become her sisters brother-in-law~_1 Weier remained composed. But inside, her heart churned like the tide. Who was this woman? Why did she know her mothers name, even her surname? What was her relationship with her mother? Was she, like Rat King Nos, coveting something on her person? Weier bowed her head in silence for a long time, while Aina also lowered her head, without uttering a word. After what felt like an eternity, Weier finally raised her head and quietly said, Liya is our mother. May I ask who you are? So Teacher Liya is actually your mother Under the gaze of the two little Lolitas, the woman paused for a long time, seemingly coming to a realization, before she said with a smile, My name is Lena. You might not believe this, but I was once an apprentice of Teacher Liya. She led me on the path toward Transcendence and taught me various skills in scroll-making. Without Teacher Liya, I would likely still be eating relief meals from the Mansion of the City Lord. Weier frowned, How can you prove it? She found it hard to trust someone who just sprang up out of nowhere, claiming connection. Even Rat King Nos had played a three-year-long ruse. Let alone this woman she didnt recognize. Indeed, Lena clapped her hands gently, Teacher Liya said I had a talent for making scrolls, and so she taught me the techniques for drawing runes, which are unique to her. Have you ever seen your mother making scrolls? Weier nodded, Mhm. Then, let me demonstrate it to you in person. Take this Third-tier Thick Earth Barrier skill scroll you gave me as a template. I cant produce a Third-tier scroll now, but I can manage a Lower-Second-tier skillFirm Earth Wall. Lena then took a blank scroll and, under the watchful eyes of Cat Cat and Aina, personally demonstrated the skill scroll drawing process. As the Yuan Su fluctuated, symbols generated at the tip of the womans rune pen and landed on the blank scroll. Disassociate, reconstitute, take form. After about forty minutes, the woman finally relaxed, having held her breath, and set down her special rune pen. Done! Its been so long since Ive drawn a scroll, I almost failed, she said. Lena handed the scroll to the young girl who had been watching, with a smile, Take a look. If youve seen your mother make scrolls, you should recognize that the technique I used to make this scroll is the same as hers. Weier nodded slightly. In fact, halfway through the drawing of the scroll, the girl had already been certain that this woman might indeed be related to her mother. Even though she had never seen anyone else make scrolls, the womans demeanor and concentration while working, and those runes that seemed full of life, naturally reminded Weier of her mother who had vanished three years ago. Her mother, too, used to make scrolls one by one in the small secret chamber. Weier set the scroll aside and asked, Sister, you must be a Transcendent of the Sublimation branch, right? Her mother had told her that only Skill Practitioners of the Sublimation path could make skill scrolls. However, as different Sublimation paths adapted to different skills, the scrolls that could be made were also very varied. Yes, Sister has already reached the Second-tier. Lena smiled and spoke, attempting to reach out and touch Weiers head. Weier stepped back, avoiding the womans touch. The woman raised her eyebrows, gazing at the young girls face, which greatly resembled that of her Master. Her throat moved, her voice slightly hoarse as she asked, Whats your name? Weiers cat ears twitched as she replied, My name is Weier, and this is my sister Aina. Is Aina also your mothers biological child? Sear?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Nope. The Little Wolf Girl smiled and said, But even though Mama isnt Ainas biological mother, she is still her Mama. I see. Lena nodded emphatically. Then, she approached Weier again, still trying to pat her on the head. Cat Cat still dodged. The woman followed up. Dont dodge, Weier, Lena said cheerfully. Let Sister check how you have grown up these years, see how your development is. I dont want to! Weier jumped onto the bed to escape. Aina quietly opened the door and slipped out unnoticed, calling for Luo Xi from next door. That was what had happened in this room before Luo Xi arrived. Of course, Luo Xi had no idea. Having just entered the room, he was now looking at the description on the text with a confused expression. Traveler, the innkeeper Lena hugged Weier, pressing down her trembling body, apologizing to the girl repeatedly, constantly saying sorry and blaming herself for not finding them earlier. Was this someone Weiers mother knew? In a city with a population of over three hundred thousand, they had randomly chosen a place to enter the city; Luo Xi had encountered Chu Tian, who was also a player, while Cat Cat had met someone related to her mother. This kind of amazing coincidence was truly astonishing. The innkeeper let go of her hands. She looked at you and asked, By the way, why is this man with you? Is he also related to Great Master Liya?'' Traveler, you hear Cat Cat say, Luo Xi is a companion we recently met.'' Aina muttered, Hes not just a companion. Brother Luo Xi is the husband I found for my sister Weier. Hes going to be my future brother-in-law.'' Hearing Ainas words, traveler, you have a bad feeling. The shopkeeper was astonished, He is Weiers husband?'' Ding! Lenas wariness of you +10 Weiers pretty face immediately flushed as if she was bleeding, He hes not my husband at all! Sister, dont listen to Ainas nonsense!'' Little Lolita added, If Sister Weier doesnt want Brother Luo Xi, thats fine. Aina really likes Brother Luo Xi. When Aina grows up, Sister, dont regret it. Maybe Ainas brother-in-law will become Sisters brother-in-law instead.'' Ding! Traveler, your Happiness Level +15 The innkeeper glanced at the young wolf-eared Little Lolita beside you. Ding! Lenas wariness of you +30 Note: Garbage Traveler, guess what the other person is thinking? Do I even need to guess? She must think hes a scumbag. Note: You know whats up, dont you? ~ Slap! Traveler, the door was closed by Shopkeeper Lena, and Aina was also taken back to the room. Luo Xi looked at the text, his expression now twitching with a hint of a smile. Um senior, why are you smiling so weirdly happy? A doubtful voice came down from above, black hair cascading down, the fragrance from the girls body drifting into Luo Xis nose, scented with shampoo and shower gel. Luo Xi turned his head and looked. Ai Xue was squatting beside him, looking at him. So big, so white the clothes. Luo Xi turned his head back and calmly said, Just got a bit bored, so I played a mobile game for a bit. Since youre not giving me any work and having me sit here as a billboard guy, playing a game for a while shouldnt be a problem, right? Ai Xue smiled and asked, What game is so fun that it made you laugh like that? Luo Xi: He couldnt exactly say that part of the reason he was somewhat happy was because hed been confessed to by a games wolf-eared Little Lolita, could he? Ai Xue would definitely think he was a pervert. Speaking frankly, Luo Xi actually didnt quite understand this younger classmates thinking; she had been rejected by him several times and had even been blocked by him for three months since the start of the term. So why could she still talk to him with no hard feelings and even ask him to come to work? If Luo Xi were a girl and encountered such a man, he probably would have long been cursing him as to nothing but trouble. Come to think of it, what made this little devil of a junior fall for him? Luo Xi pondered for a moment. Forget it. Cant remember now. In his second year, he participated in many volunteer activities and probably got to know Ai Xue slowly through these events. In summary, he came to a conclusion. Its likely that this junior has a crush on his body. Chapter 86 - 86 85 Big Brother Really Likes to Touch Ainas ?Chapter 86: Chapter 85: Big Brother Really Likes to Touch Ainas Tail~_1 Chapter 86: Chapter 85: Big Brother Really Likes to Touch Ainas Tail~_1 Ai Xue tentatively asked, Senior, it seems that were getting more customers now. Why dont you come over and help, learn how to make coffee? Luo Xi: Youre the boss, arent you? Since when does a boss ask their employee so humbly if they want to work? Alright. Luo Xi stood up from the sofa, still holding his phone in hand. Now that the situation in the dream world had stabilized, he didnt have to worry about his character dying at any moment, so he could afford to be hands-on with work, occasionally glancing at his phone and tapping the screen. For instance, his character had just returned to his room where Chu Tian had dragged Jill Dan away. In scenarios like this, a few random taps on the screen were adequate. Mu Mu, can you teach senior how to grind coffee beans? Im going to attend to the customers over there. Ai Xue sent Luo Xi to the counter and went to serve the newly arrived customers. Most of the customers coming to the Cat Caf at this time were university students, a significant portion of whom were there for Luo Xi. So when Luo Xi stood behind the counter, quite a few girls came over to ask him for coffee. Luo Xi said he couldnt do it. So one of the girls said, Then could you add us on WeChat for now? Once youve learned, we can ask you for a coffee made by you. There you go, showing your true colors? Luo Xi could only resignedly add each of these customers to WeChat one by one and then put them all together in a group chat. After finally coaxing the customers back to playing with cats, Luo Xi started learning how to use the coffee grinder with the girl named Chen Momo. Chen Momo demonstrated while hand-brewing a cup of coffee with the freshly ground beans. These are all imported coffee beans, authentic in taste. Hand grinding is best for style. Of course, people who come to Cat Caf arent here primarily for the coffee. Theyre mostly here to play with cats. Therefore, they wont mind too much about the coffee ground by machines like ours. Would you like to try some, senior? Chen Momo offered a steaming hot cup of coffee. Luo Xi took the cup and had a sip. He wasnt keen on coffee, but the flavor was indeed rich and much tastier than instant coffee. Chen Momo nodded slightly. This senior really did get more handsome the more she looked, and he also possessed a strange trait that attracted cats. No wonder Xiao Xue hadnt accepted any proposals for the past few years. If she had such a handsome guy by her side, she wouldnt be interested in the average guy. ,,, Meanwhile, in the dream world. Lena calmed her excitement and asked quietly, The man that came with you doesnt have a problem, does he? No problem. Weier spoke calmly, without a hint of doubt or denial, Luo Xi has been through several life-and-death situations with us, so Im willing to trust him. Actually, rather than suspecting Luo Xi, Lena, the innkeeper who suddenly appeared and claimed to be their mothers apprentice, was more suspicious. Aina quietly defended Luo Xi, saying, Brother Luo Xis preferences might be a bit strange; he loves to touch my tail and ears and has always wanted to touch sisters but never got the chance. Weier shot a look at her naive sister and said, Only a fool like you, with no sense of caution, would be so lenient towards him! Lena looked bewildered, He touches your tail and ears? How does he do it? The little Lolita blushed and explained, He just puts his hand on Ainas tail, caressing it as if holding a doll. Brothers hands are actually very comforting, not like sister who always uses Ainas tail as a pillow, making it ache in the morning. Weier: Lena: Something feels very wrong! Aina suddenly lifted her little face and said seriously, But Brother Luo Xi is really a good person, he has had the best-smelling scent I have encountered in these years. Seeing how both girls defended that man, Lena decided not to say more. She mainly felt that the two children were still too young and could easily fall prey to people with insidious intentions. It was difficult to imagine how they had struggled to get by these past few years without their mothers protection. Still, she intended to find an opportunity to give that man a warning. If he dared to lay a hand on such young children, she would make sure he understood what sort of fate awaited him. Weier didnt know what Lena was thinking. She hesitated for a moment, then raised her head, her pale red eyes earnestly focusing on the woman before her. Sister Lena, you said you and our mother were in a mentor-apprentice relationship, right? Then do you know what exactly happened to our mother three years ago, and why she suddenly vanished overnight? This matter The woman wore a wistful smile, Im actually not very clear about it myself. All I know is that on the night your mother disappeared, it was the Divine Tree Festival of Winter City. Coincidentally, the old City Owner of the City Lords Mansion and a personal guard legion under his command also vanished that same night. After that night, the direction of the wind completely changed within Winter City. The ten-year-old son left by the old City Owner inherited the position of the new City Owner. Since he was too young, his steward assumed the City Owners duties on his behalf. The Chief Magistrate of the judiciary changed to some unreasonable old man, and the Winter Legions Commander, Signo, has since completely disengaged from worldly affairs and hasnt been seen for a long time. Weiers red eyes narrowed as she said, I knew it, my mother couldnt possibly have died in the Snow Field due to an Origin Beast! Died in the Snow Field due to an Origin Beast? Lena massaged her temples and said, Who told you that? How is that possible? You should know your mother is a Tier Four Skill Master. Even in the main city of the Shining Country, she would have been treated with great respect. Even if she encountered a Tier Four Origin Beast in the wilderness, your mother would have been able to flee if not win. Weier fell silent. So, Rat King Nos had been deceiving them from the start. Until this moment, Weier still harbored a sliver of hope for the Rat King. That mild-mannered middle-aged man who had been bringing them food and clothes for three years, who had acted like a relative or elder to themnobody knew he had been lying the whole time. Aina, sensing her sisters dejection, moved closer to her sister and placed her little hand in Weiers. Sister, its okay. Aina has always been by your side. Lena also realized that the two children might have received false information from somewhere. Who told you these things? sea??h th ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The king of the Grey Stone Street Snake and Rat party, Rat King, Nos. Rat King? Lena frowned, Ive heard this name. How did he tell you about your mothers disappearance? Weier told Lena everything that the Rat King had told her about their mothers disappearance. Liar! That Rat King is nothing but a blatant liar! Lena said furiously, Doesnt it strike you as odd? Why would a Skill Master work with a shady Variant organization like the Snake and Rat party? Teacher Liya could earn much more money by just showing off her skills casually in Winter City, compared to what she would get from such a place. What kind of mission would be so important that Great Master Liya would risk her life? Weiers snow-like eyebrows knitted together. From Shopkeeper Lenas words, she inferred that her mother might have been very active in Winter City, but she had never told her daughter about it. A thought crossed Cat Cats mind. Maybe, from the very beginning, my mother wasnt cooperating with the Snake and Rat party for the money from the mission. Perhaps she had some kind of agreement or deal with the Rat King?

However, you neednt worry about their safety anymore. Their mother, Liya, was my long-time teacher and the person who changed my destiny, so I will protect these two children personally.] Luo Xi was taken aback. What was this woman trying to do? The tone she used made it seem like she was planning to take over the care of the two girls and kick him out. [Traveler, you said, Its not that simple. If the dangers they face could simply be avoided by hiding here with you, then wed be seriously underestimating those old ybs lurking in the dark.] [What do you mean?] [Lena asked in astonishment, What kind of danger have they encountered? Explain it to me clearly!] [Traveler, you paused and then said, Actually, Aina might be okay, but Weier was almost captured by people from the Church of Truth, and that so-called Rat King is a complete old yb.] [I dont know what they need Weier for, but even thinking with my toes, I can tell that nothing good lies behind this. I dont know much else, to be honest. I believe we might still be under their watch right now.] [Traveler, you said, If thats the case and you still have the confidence to protect them in this incredibly complex environment, then I must say youre formidable, and Im willing to lend my strength as well.] [After all, if this woman is so confident despite knowing how strange the situation is, she must be one of the hidden big shots in this novice village. Shouldnt I cling to her coattails?] [Lena was silent for a long time before saying, They didnt tell me about these things before. I wasnt aware that they were still in such peril. I am just a novice who has barely entered the second tier as a skill practitioner, and indeed lack the power to protect them properly] [However no matter what, I must find a way to keep Teachers two children safe.] [The woman said with a very determined look in her eyes, I didnt know the teacher had children before. Otherwise, after she disappeared, I would have tried everything to bring them to Winter City for care. Grey Stone Street, what a broken place to live! Moreover, the crooks in Winter City are selling sweet potatoes leftover from pig feed to the Variants as food.] [Traveler, you felt the womans firm determination.] [You dont know her past, but if its as she says, and she had a deep relationship with the mother of the two cat-eared Lolitas, perhaps she could be a clue for you to find key information in Winter City.] [After all, from beginning to end, you dont know what the Rat King and the Church of Truth hidden behind the scenes actually want to do.] [Lena muttered to herself, Why didnt that child tell me these things?] [Traveler, you responded, They are living in your house now, which is already involving you in their problems. Theres no need to drag you, the shop owner, into deeper danger as well.] [I dont mind!] [Sister Lena, you really dont have to do this.] sea??h th ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Weiers distinctive crisp voice rang out as ripples spread across the door, and the girl walked right through the wavy door panel.] [Lena, astonished: Weier, I told you not to come in yet] [Weier looked at Lena with those beautiful light red eyes and said, Mom was your teacher, Sister Lena, but she was just your teacher. You dont have a deeper relationship with us, so you dont have to worry so much about us. Once the aftereffects of the Origin Disaster outside are over, Aina, Luo Xi, and I will immediately leave Winter City.] [Leave? Why would you leave?] [Lena, suddenly anxious after hearing Cat Cats words, said, You dont have to leave at all; my house has many rooms, and you can stay as long as you like. Weier, please dont be mad at your sister for blackmailing you earlier. That was just a joke. Once I realized you had some connection to Teacher Liya, I wasnt going to kick you out! Otherwise, no amount of money could make me take in Variants!] [Its not about being angry Its just as Brother Luo Xi said.] [Weier said with a wry smile, It seems like Ive fallen into a vortex. There are many people watching me in secret, and staying here would only lead to a slow death. Finding a way to leave this city is the only way out.] [As Weier spoke, she unlocked the door to let Aina, who was still outside, come in.] [Chu Tian, the chatterbox, also wanted to come in for a peek, but Cat Cat slammed the door shut, and then you could hear a muffled grunt outside.] [Lena asked heavily, Is it really that serious?] [Weier whispered, Yes, Rat King Nos deceived me for three years, and the Church of Truth tried to abduct me last night. It seems they are all after something on me that I dont even know about.] [Lena immediately asked, Did Teacher Liya leave you something? If they are after a particular object, then just hand it over to them.] [No.] [Weier shook her head and said, Rather than the things mom left at our house, its more likely that I myself am their target.] [Lena fell silent.] [Even though she wanted to protect these two children herself, she also knew that her strength was nothing against those powerful adversaries.] [The cat-eared girl, hands behind her back and a sweet smile on her face, said, So Sister Lena, theres really no need for you to worry so much about us. Also, I definitely wont give up the clues and traces left here by mom. When the day comes that we have the strength to confront them, we will naturally return.] [Sigh] [Lena let out a sigh, knowing that leaving might indeed be the best choice at the moment.] [The woman turned her head to look at you and asked, After leaving Winter City, are you going to travel with this man until you find a place to settle?] [Sort of.] [Cat Cats tail curled unconsciously around her hand as she softly said, After all, Aina is really fond of him, and I think hes a pretty decent person. Its nice to have an extra companion when were out and about for mutual support.] [Aina nodded in agreement, Yeah! Brother Luo Xi promised to travel with Aina.] [Ding! Traveler, your Happiness Level +20] [Ding!

Youll be the first Weird Uncle in Otherworld Travelers to successfully pick up two cat-eared Little Lolitas. Of course, if you were even a little braver, you could achieve even greater accomplishments~] Luo Xi: (p) In fact, he also wanted to just take Weier and Aina and leave Winter City, this big quagmire, behind them. But was it really that simple? Chapter 89 - 89 88 Weier your childs physique is already ?Chapter 89: Chapter 88: Weier, your childs physique is already sixteen years old?!_1 Chapter 89: Chapter 88: Weier, your childs physique is already sixteen years old?!_1 [Traveler, noticing that the shopkeeper seems to trust you, you take the initiative and ask, Did Weiers mother leave anything behind with you before she disappeared? Or did she exhibit any unusual behavior or actions?] Instead of waiting for an uncertain future, its better to clarify what happened in the past and then figure out a solution or avoidance strategy. [There are some things left behind, yes, but theyre just books recording skills, which Ive looked through countless times already. They dont contain the clues youre thinking of. However, as for unusual behavior ] [Lena appeared contemplative as she spoke, Teacher Liya used to visit my house about once a week. After teaching me, she would leave right away. Two days before the Divine Tree Festival started, I had met with Teacher Liya. She seemed like she wanted to tell me something, but eventually, she said nothing and just left.] [Recorded item: Divine Tree Festival] Luo Xi opened this newly recorded item. [Traveler, you ask, What is the Divine Tree Festival?] [Its a festival where the big-shots offer sacrifices to the Eternal World Tree Noah, once a year. For more details, you can ask Weier; I have told her all I know.] [Lena seems somewhat impatient with your conversation, Traveler.] [She looks at Weier and asks, By the way, Weier, you should be around fourteen, right?] [Weier pauses, her expression falls, and she speaks with some reluctance, Sister Lena, Im already fourteen. In five days, it will be my sixteenth birthday.] [Ah? Youre nearly sixteen, about to come of age?] [Lena looks astonished at the small stature of the girl with cat ears before her.] ??? Sear?h the n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. In the Dream World, Lenas face is full of question marks. At barely ten centimeters taller than her sister Aina, Weiers height is estimated to be around 1.5 meters, plus her youthful face and slender figure. Besides having a face resembling Teacher Liyas, she looks utterly unlike the Teacher Liya Lena had seen. You should know that Teacher Liya is not just beautiful. Her enviable figure alone is enough to have many short-sighted men chasing after her like moths to a flame. With such exceptional lineage, why does Weier, almost of age, still look like a child who hasnt grown up? She recalls Aina mentioning finding a husband for her sister. At the time, Lena actually wanted to retort C your sister barely looks older than you, why is she looking for a husband? Lena thought Aina was young and naive, just parroting something she had read without understanding. No wonder A girl nearing adulthood indeed starts to consider a lifelong partner. For Mutant Patients to find a normal person to marry and have children with is basically impossible, due to the chance of transmitting Mutant Factors from mother to child. Why arent the big-shots in the big cities interested in Variants? Even if Variants look attractive, theyre only treated as decorative items to behold or as maids. They are always kept at a respectful distance, right? Its because they too fear their bloodline getting tainted. After all, what if a Variant child is born? Most importantly, who knows whether some Mutation Factors might transmit through bodily fluids? So, Mutant Patients, in the long run, can only end up with another Mutant Patient. Hence, over time, Variants form the lowest caste in this worlds entrenched social hierarchy. Even Lena herself, had she not recognized the connection between Weier and Teacher Liya, wouldnt have agreed to let them stay in her inn no matter what they offered. She didnt need to take such a big risk for a bit of extra money. Of course, knowing Weier was Teacher Liyas daughter changed things. Lena looks at Luo Xi standing to one side, either daydreaming or lost in thought. Does this guy want to protect them because he has a liking for Weier? If thats the case, then she really was overthinking before. Weier was almost an adult; Lena had no reason to meddle in the girls future life. But, that said Lenas expression twitched. She thought about Weier remaining as she currently was and then marrying this young man and having children And then theres the even younger Aina, who keeps saying how much she loves big brother. Why does this feel like hes still a child being born [Ding! Lenas Shock Value towards you +10] [Traveler, Shopkeeper Lena thinks you might be a bit too raw; would you like to correct her misunderstanding?] Luo Xi: ??? What the hell? Did this woman imagine something weird? [No] Correct it my ass, the more you correct, the darker it gets. [It seems Lena no longer wants to talk about such a grim topic. She says, You all got up early and came into town; you must not have eaten, right? Ill go prepare some food for you now.] [Traveler, Lena stands up and leaves the room, passing by you as she goes downstairs.] [You exchange glances with Cat Cat and Aina.] [Traveler, you ask, Can we trust her?] [Weier nods, Her feelings for my mother must be genuine. Aina also doesnt dislike her scent very much, so she should be trustworthy.] [Little Wolf Girl nods profusely, This big sisters smell isnt too bad.] [Cat Cat sighs and says, Even if shes not trustworthy, what can we do? Let me tell you something: the Glory outside Winter City has just receded to the other side of the city walls. This means that the idea of using my ability to phase through walls to leave Winter City is dashed. Once the locust disaster ends, if the Glory doesnt expand outwards again, well have to think of a way to leave through the gates of Winter City.] [Aina speaks anxiously, Then what do we do?] [Weier says, Well play it by ear.] [Traveler, you open the inns room window, and from here, you can see the scene outside the Glory.] [The swarm of dark locusts outside seems to have decreased considerably, and the silver radiance covering the entire city gives you a great sense of security.] [No wonder Shopkeeper Lena and Chu Tian have been so calm all along, because they dont really feel that the Origin Disaster outside will threaten the Inner City.] [At this moment, the inhabitants of Grey Stone Street outside the barrier are probably all dead, right?] [Traveler, you feel some sadness.] [Your Sadness Value +1] [Note: Damn Traveler, you might as well not be sad at all.] [Traveler, you feel the temperature around you seems to have dropped a bit more, though not as much as in the wilderness, but its still noticeable.] [Brother, coldflower Q] [Aina sneezes softly.] [Traveler, you promptly close the window.] [At that moment, the loud voice of Chu Tian, that chatterbox, calls from outside the door.] [Bro, that damn shopkeeper left, right? Let me in! I have important information to share with you!] Chapter 90 - 90 89 Who doesnt like legal neko-Lolitas～_1 ?Chapter 90: Chapter 89 Who doesnt like legal neko-Lolitas_1 Chapter 90: Chapter 89 Who doesnt like legal neko-Lolitas_1 [Traveler, you open the door, allowing Chu Tian to walk in.] [The young man burst into laughter the moment he entered, saying to you, Your room was so lively just now, I thought Shopkeeper Lena was up to something. I didnt expect everyone to know each other. Its such a wonderful thing for us to help each other out here. Oh right, brother, do you know what I saw just now? There was this big black locust] [Traveler, you raise your hand to interrupt Chu Tians rambling, saying, Just get to the point, will you? Dont beat around the bush. What was the important piece of information you wanted to say?] [Oh.] [Chu Tian looked at you somewhat displeased and said, Before I entered the city that day, I triggered a quest called The Conspiracy of a Mysterious Organization. They were shouting words like Truth and Eternity in a small room. I later tried to tell the guards of Winter City, but they not only disbelieved me, they also mocked me fiercely.] [Church of Truth!] [Traveler, you exchange looks with Weier and Aina.] [This indeed seems like important information, possibly related to Weier and even the secrets of this city.] [After all, such a cult organization wouldnt gather in a city for no reason.] [Traveler, you ask, Is there more?] [Thats about it, but this special quest obviously looks like the start of a large-scale mission!] [Chu Tian spoke excitedly, As long as we trigger this large-scale quest and complete each step, well definitely be able to get rewards that will make our hands sore from holding them. What we need most right now is to continuously enhance our own strength, and we cant let this great opportunity slip away!] [Cat Cat tilts her head at you, puzzled, Whats he talking about?] [Aina also tugs at your sleeve and pouts, Brother Luo Xi, has this guy gone crazy? Why is he saying a bunch of stuff we dont understand?] [Traveler, you nod, Exactly, hes lost his mind.] [While Chu Tian continues to act foolishly, you push him out of the room and promptly shut the door.] [You guess this guy must have a Chatterbox title to his name.] [Thump thump!] [The door is rapidly knocked on once more.] [But this time, traveler, you decide not to open the door, letting the chatterbox talk to the wall instead.] [What are you knocking for?] [Holy crap! Damn, Shopkeeper, why did you come back?] [Bang!] [After a shout and a heavy thud, Shopkeeper Lenas voice came through.] [Open the door, Ive prepared some food for you all; eat up so you can rest for the day.] [Traveler, you go over and open the door, seeing Chu Tian passed out on the floor with a new bump on his head.] [Shopkeeper Lena was holding two plates, each with a bowl of steaming noodles, golden brown fried eggs, and red slices of meat floating on the broth, looking incredibly tempting.] [Ding! Your Hunger Value +10] [Ainas tea gold eyes suddenly widen, Noodles! Theres meat! And eggs!] [Weier involuntarily swallowed.] [After all, the food on Grey Stone Street was incredibly poor, consisting of nothing but sweet potatoes; even with money, it was hard to buy ingredients, and a good cook cant work miracles without rice.] [Lena put the two plates of noodles on the table at the corner of the room and set the chopsticks on top, smiling, This noodle is made from refined flour, come and try it. We dont have much at home, so lets eat something nice tonight. Later, Ill go to the market and get some pigs trotters.] [Traveler, you point to yourself, What about my portion?] [The shopkeeper seemed to just remember you, glancing at your hands, Sorry, I forgot there was another person.] [Ding! Your Anger Value +10] sea??h th N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Aina, who had already approached the table and picked up chopsticks ready to eat, turned back when she heard the shopkeepers words, Little Lolita said,] But if only we eat the noodles and Brother Luo Xi has none, just watching us, that would be too pitiful. Why not, Brother Luo Xi, you share a bowl with Aina? Anyway, Aina doesnt eat much; Ill give you the rest.] [Ding! Your Happiness Level +20] [Traveler, you find that youre really starting to like little Aina more and more] [Who wouldnt love this adorable beast-eared Little Lolita who is constantly thinking about you?] [Note: Garbage Traveler, youve finally revealed your true self! The above is a true reflection of your innermost thoughts, and theres no use denying it!] Luo Xi: This damn text is like a companys boss, catching you slacking off and immediately jumping out to roast you. [Ill save some for you as well.] [Weier also turned her head and said to you, Aina and I dont eat much, the portion of noodles seems quite large, well leave some for you to fill your stomach.] [Ding! Your Happiness Level +10] [Cat Cat is also great!] [Note: Indeed, legit Lolita the best!] Luo Xi: ? Whats with this damn text? [Not really. Shopkeeper Lena covered her face and said, You make me seem like a villain, I was just teasing you guys. Think about it, I only have two hands, how could I carry more bowls of noodles? The rest are downstairs, Ill go get them for you now.] [On the ground outside the door, Chu Tian, leaning on the doorframe, got up, groggily saying, Is there noodles to eat? I want some, I came back after getting beat up by the city guards last night. Havent eaten since waking up this morning, and my Hunger Value is nearly bottomed out.] [You want to eat noodles too? Shopkeeper Lena looked at the young man with a dangerous gaze, Do you remember what you called me just now?] [Ah? Called what?] [Chu Tian feigned ignorance, I dont know. Speaking of which, Shopkeeper, Im not freeloading, I can pay you; you cant refuse to do business, right?] [Hehe.] [Shopkeeper Lena left the room, and soon, she walked back upstairs with two bowls of noodles.] [One bowl was identical to the one Weier and Aina had; the other bowl was plain noodles with no toppings. Shopkeeper Lena gave you the bowl with a variety of toppings and gave the plain one to the young man.] [The young man protested discontentedly, Im not happy! I want the noodles with eggs and meat too!] [Dont eat then! Ill eat it myself.] [Ill eat] [Since Weier and Ainas rooms table was full, you took the bowl of noodles into Chu Tians room, and the two of you ate together at one table.] [Traveler, you can feel Chu Tians resentment in his eyes as he looks at you.] Luo Xi: Whats there to be resentful about? Its just a bowl of noodles. Besides, without being synced in Dreamland, the taste cant be synced either. [Chu Tian said indignantly, Damn, that damn shopkeeper dares to treat me differently. Brother, give me your poached egg, and I shall reward you handsomely in the future!] [No way.] [Traveler, you quickly ate up the egg and meat slices, giving the guy no chance.] [Ding! Chu Tians Resentment Value towards you +20] Another strange emotional value has appeared. Luo Xi checked the time. Good grief, hed been squatting in the bathroom for almost twenty minutes. He decided that from now until lunch break, he would work hard, at least not get fired on the first day by the boss for slacking off at work. Chapter 91 - 91 90 Is this senior deliberately taking paid ?Chapter 91: Chapter 90: Is this senior deliberately taking paid toilet breaks to take advantage of the system? _1 Chapter 91: Chapter 90: Is this senior deliberately taking paid toilet breaks to take advantage of the system? _1 In the cat caf. Chen Momo finished her work and glanced over to the corner, noticing that there was still no movement near the restroom. Senior Luo Xi had been squatting in the restroom for almost twenty minutes. Why hadnt he come out yet? Could it be that this senior liked to take advantage of paid restroom breaks? Mu Mu, wheres the senior? Ai Xue walked back in, carrying a phone from outside, having been in touch with the university regarding some national policy support for college students entrepreneurship. She still had some savings, but most of her money was already invested in this cat caf. Now she didnt have much left, and if she could not make a decent income from it, she might have to ask her family for money to keep the caf running. What would she say if her mother asked why she was so intent on running a loss-making cat caf? Tell her mother she did it to have a reason to be with her senior? Mom would definitely say, Isnt that just a boyfriend? However, senior Luo Xi didnt seem to have that kind of affection for her. Who knows, maybe after finishing this month, he would resign the next month and leave. Chen Momo glanced at the restroom: Your senior is still squatting in there, Xiao Xue. Does he have some kind of gastrointestinal disease? Its been twenty minutes, and he isnt out yet. If its not constipation, then he must be aiming for paid restroom breaks. If its the latter, it seems very unreliable. Arent you afraid the money spent cant be earned back? Ai Xue laughed, Well, its my money being spent, not the cat cafs, so you dont have to worry, Mu Mu. Chen Momo was amused, Im not worried about the money. Im afraid you, silly girl, will be deceived of both your emotions and finances, and youll come crying to me with nothing left! Ai Xue playfully hit her best friend, Youre overthinking it. Senior isnt that kind of person. Alright, alright. Chen Momo said resignedly: Do you have a way to make him fall for you? For the time being no. Throughout her university years, Ai Xue had also tried several different strategies, both direct and indirect, but Luo Xi really seemed to have no interest in her. He even cared more about his games than talking to her on the phone! This semester, he even blocked her for three months because of it! To be honest, when she found out from Luo Xis roommate that he had blocked her for that reason, Ai Xues first reaction was to feel devastated. From her first year to this semester of her junior year, although they werent always in touch, they had developed some kind of camaraderie, right? I cant even compete with a mobile game! But soon after, relief followed. The senior hadnt blacklisted her because he got a girlfriend! That night, by chance, she also saw a series of pictures of Luo Xi petting cats, and since the cat caf she and Mu Mu were preparing to open was about to launch, she thought of inviting Luo Xi to work at the caf. Ai Xue remembered that Luo Xi indeed liked cats a lot. When she entered the university in her freshman year, she joined the Volunteer Association, although at that time she didnt know Luo Xi since the association had too many people. Later in her freshman year, she signed up for a group activity, something about giving safety lectures to students at an elementary school. After the event, as everyone left the school and was ready to leave, they saw a white cat that had been run over by a car lying on the road. All the volunteers disgustingly avoided the bloodied cat carcass, except for the senior who stayed behind after everyone left and buried the cat in the nearby farmland. She left later than the others because of something and ended up helping Luo Xi out of curiosity after seeing his actions. Ai Xue still remembered their conversation at that time. Senior, why bother burying it? Couldnt you just throw it in the trash bin by the roadside? Luo Xi had replied: No particular reason. I just saw its fur and remembered the cat back at home. If I hadnt seen it, it wouldnt have mattered, but having seen it, I would feel uneasy if I did nothing. Does your family raise cats? We used to. Now the cat lives with my grandma. Considering its age, it must be about Oh, thanks for your help. How about I treat you to milk tea? That was their first meeting. Sar?h the Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. There werent any dramatic or heart-stopping storylines. Sometimes, liking someone is just because of the small things they do. Excuse me, is this the cat caf? Do you have any sets for sale? A young person dressed in white clothes walked into the shop and smiled at the two people at the counter. Ai Xue put away her memories. Hello, customer. Chen Momo quickly came forward and said, Our cat caf has just opened with discounts. The single person cat-petting coupon is only 50 yuan, and you get to pick one out of five beverages, plus we throw in snacks and toys that the cats love! Of course, you could also sign up for a membership card for even more discounts. Top up with 1000 yuan and get an extra 200 yuan for free. Ill just have the single person package, and for the beverage, Ill have a cup of your coffee here. The young person took out their phone to scan the code, then found an empty seat to sit down. He didnt seem to have any intention of petting cats, just sat there playing with his phone. At this time, Luo Xi came out of the bathroom and saw Ai Xue and Chen Momo whispering to each other; he wondered if they were really about to fire him. He actually quite liked this job, anyway. It was better than being squeezed by his superiors in that company, plus there were lots of little kittens to pet. Too bad cute cat-eared girls didnt exist in reality Luo Xi approached and said, Sorry, I had a bit of a bad stomach yesterday. No worries, senior. Just do as you see fit. Ai Xue said somewhat apologetically, The job we assigned you was to feed the cats, basically a cat caretaker, but in reality, its just doing odd jobs. You can learn more about the various aspects of our cat caf, and I will hire more hands later on, but for now, I can only ask you to bear with us for a while. Chen Momo muttered under her breath, And then before you know it, he turns into the boss. Mu Mu, what are you saying! The two girls immediately started tussling with each other. Luo Xi smiled and looked towards the inside of the cat caf. There were about twenty customers at the moment; the shop could accommodate up to 30 customers at the same time, any more than that would reduce the comfort level. Suddenly, Luo Xis gaze met with that of a young man in white sitting on a sofa. The other party held a phone in their hands and smiled faintly at him, mouthing the words silently: Ive found you. Luo Xi narrowed his eyes, his sense of alert heightened. Who is this person? He sidestepped the two women and sat down opposite the young man in white, on the sofa across from him. Luo Xi said softly, Who are you? The young man smiled and replied, Just someone with the same kind of identity as you. Youre a college student too? The young man laughed and said, Haha, I graduated long ago. You should know Im not talking about a regular identity. A thought flickered through Luo Xis mind: How did you find me? Are you with the Dreamland Travel Bureau? Im not one of them. As for how I found you, look at this. The young man rummaged through his bag and eventually pulled out a roasted pig trotter. Luo Xi: Was this the roasted pig trotter he lost last night? I wont hide it from you; I have a talent that allows me to locate someone by an object theyve touched before, the young man said with a smile. I only had my suspicions at first, but now Im sure. Bro, your counter-surveillance awareness isnt up to scratch. Luo Xi said sternly, What do you want from me? The young man looked up at Luo Xi, grinning broadly: Bro, looking to buy some hacks? Luo Xi: ??? Chapter 92 - 92 91 Kidnap Aina and give her delicious food ?Chapter 92: Chapter 91: Kidnap Aina and give her delicious food hehe~_1 Chapter 92: Chapter 91: Kidnap Aina and give her delicious food hehe~_1 Luo Xi frowned and said, What do you mean? Just as it sounds. The young man said in a mysterious tone, You should already know that any enhancement of the soul and body that originates from that world synchronizes and affects us in the real world, right? Yeah. Then, have you ever considered how this synchronization occurs? Luo Xi thought for a moment and said, Quantum mechanics? The young man: Youre quite the joker, but okay, Ill stop beating around the bush. Dawn involves a dream world that is actually a real-world, so the so-called enhancement is actually a projection of ourselves that is created in a way beyond our imagination in that world. Any change to the essence and soul of the projection will similarly change us in the real world. Luo Xi interlocked his fingers. And then? The young man patted his bag and smiled, I have a secret technique that can let a person gain double or even triple the benefits from these changes. If the projection in that world receives a bit of enhancement, in this world, it will gain threefold, fourfold, or even more enhancement! Luo Xi frowned, What do you mean? The young man laughed, Just as it sounds, it can make your real body become stronger many times faster than before! How much is it? Luo Xi asked. The young mans eyebrows twitched, As long as you join our organization, the secret technique will be given to you for free, not costing you a penny! Luo Xi said with declining interest, Forget it, Im not interested. The young man was taken aback. Why not? I dont believe in this kind of thing. Luo Xi looked at the mans face, squinted his eyes and said, Dont tell me that your secret technique comes without any cost. I dont believe in pie falling from the sky, and now Im really questioning your background and purpose. If you dont give me an explanation, Im going to call the Dreamland Travel Bureau. The young mans smile vanished as he stood up from the sofa and pulled out a tissue to wipe his hands. Since you dont believe me, brother, lets meet again another time. But I think youll regret it soon. With that, the young man left the cat caf with an air of urgency. Luo Xi did not try to stop him. He had absolutely no interest in joining any organizations or associationswho knows what they might be up to. Sear?h the N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Whats wrong? Ai Xue asked as she walked over. Nothing. Luo Xi stood up and stretched. With the games mystery also seemed to come a myriad of strange characters and opportunists. All he could do now was to try his best to become stronger. Ding! His phone made a notification sound out of the blue. Luo Xi saw a notification pop up on his phone. [Dawn 1.1 beta version is now live. This update does not require confirmation and will update automatically. Update contents include [Text Projection] [Crisis Online Alert] and fixes to certain bugs. Players who have exploited these bugs for unfair advantages will also face punishment and account bans.] The game updated?! Luo Xi looked at the push notification from the game. Bug fixes Players exploiting bugs will be penalized and banned. Why did he feel like the guy who asked if he wanted cheats earlier was in big trouble? In a small rental housing complex where ten people gathered. A chorus of angry curses suddenly erupted. Damn, wheres my account? Why cant I log in anymore?! This update is targeting us, isnt it! The young man in white who had left the cat caf was walking and muttering to himself about yet another ignorant player who would regret not seeing our organizations power. Then he glanced at his phone and exploded. Goddamn it, I got these cheats fair and square; why you banning my account! [Update successful, enjoy your gaming experience] What changes will there be? Luo Xi reopened the game. Above the screen was a new icon resembling a television, as well as a triangular symbol next to it. Pressing the icon, the following description appeared. [Text Projection] [Description: After activating this feature, the text displayed on your phone will be directly projected in front of your eyes, Traveler.] [Crisis Online Alert] [Description: After activating this feature, when you encounter danger in the Dream World, a strong warning will resonate in the mind of your real-world self.] Luo Xi thought to himself, awesome! This update is too user-friendly, isnt it? That way he wouldnt have to keep staring at his phone. He could completely play the game while workingtwo birds with one stone! Lets see what Weier and Aina are up to after their meal. Luo Xi tapped the symbol. Suddenly, lines of text appeared before his eyes, similar to the floating text that synchronized to the Dream World, but seeming even more ethereal. [Traveler, after you finished your meal, you returned to the room where Weier and the others were, and saw the two Little Lolitas still nibbling on their noodlesAina, the Little Wolf Girl, in particular, was eating with such passion that her eyes brimmed with tears, slurping down both noodle soup and long noodles in a single gulp.] [Hearing footsteps, the Little Wolf Girl looked back at you and wiped her tears away, saying, Has Aina not eaten anything this delicious since Mom left, brother? What do you think of the taste?] [Traveler, you said: Its pretty good. If I have the chance in the future, Ill take you, Aina, to eat even better food.] [Note: Let me translate here, what the garbage traveler means is, once Ive whisked you away, Ill let you, Aina, eat lots of tasty food, he he he~] Damn text, who are you calling hey! Why didnt this update add a mute function! [Haah] [Weier placed her chopsticks aside and yawned with her hand over her mouth.] [Traveler, you remembered that Weier had taken the latter half of the night shift yesterday, so it was normal for her to feel sleepy now.] [Are you done eating? Shopkeeper Lena walked in from outside, saying, Once youre finished, Ill clear the bowls. You can rest in the afternoon. Winter City seems a bit chaotic right now; its best to stay inside the house.] [Traveler, you looked up and said, Chaotic?] [Shopkeeper Lena said, Yes, its not just you who have entered the Inner City. Many Variants are gathering at a temporary shelter in the east. The residents are protesting in the streets, claiming they will pollute the air and spread calamitous factors, wanting to drive them away.] [Weier and Aina both shuddered slightly.] [Seeing this, Lena quickly said, Dont worry, I wont drive you away. You can stay as long as you like; rest this afternoon.] [Traveler, you suddenly remembered, hadnt the shopkeeper only given you three people one room?] [Remembering something, Lena looked at you and said, Oh, Ive unlocked the room next door on the right for you to stay in.] [Ding! Your Happiness Level -10] Suddenly, Luo Xi caught a faint scent in his nostrils. Senior, why are you standing there? Are you tired, senior? Ai Xue approached him at some point, looking up at Luo Xi who seemed to be daydreaming, By the way, who was that person just now? Why did they leave after sitting for only a short while? Luo Xi: Today, this junior was dressed in autumn wear; looking from the top down, a white blouse outlined an elegant seam. Luo Xi averted his eyes. He feigned composure and said, Sorry, I spaced out for a moment. Why did he suddenly feel that this underclassmans allure was quite substantial? Something was off! The text floating before his eyes jumped. [Note: Youre right on track, garbage traveler! Being interested in animal-eared Little Lolitas is whats off!] - Starting tomorrow, there will only be two updates each day temporarily. I havent had much time to write these past few days, and Im running out of saved drafts. Ill resume three updates per day after the 17th. Chapter 93 - 93 92 The Little Rich Girl and the Little ?Chapter 93: Chapter 92: The Little Rich Girl and the Little Lolita Ripened? _1 Chapter 93: Chapter 92: The Little Rich Girl and the Little Lolita Ripened? _1 Luo Xi found that the text projection function had its pros and cons. The good was that after activating the projection function, he didnt have to stare at his phone all day, but the bad was that this damn text could now directly mock him in front of his eyes. Just how does this game affect reality anyway? he wondered. The young man hed spoken to earlier was ambiguous, basically saying nothing new, all stuff he already knew. However, compared to these minor matters, the retrospective ability he possessed was the most irrational one. He had no idea if his ability would trigger should he die in reality too. No sooner had this thought appeared that Luo Xi extinguished it. He couldnt possibly go off and test this ability by getting himself killed in reality, could he? After all, unlike in the game where he could just resurrect, there was no cost for trial and error in reality. Seeing Luo Xi come back to his senses, Ai Xue grabbed his clothes and said with a smile, Senior, how about the three of us go to Wanxiang City for a hotpot later? It can be the first team meal for us cat cafe employees. Im fine with anything. Luo Xi thought about it and glanced at the customers who were still immersed in petting cats, But should we kick the customers out? Many people came to the cat cafe to relax or specifically for the lunchtime slot, so it wouldnt be right to just send them away, would it? At this moment, apart from the three of them, there seemed to be no other staff at the cat cafe. Sear?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Thats true, we need to leave a good impression on our first day of business, we cant just close up shop and leave Ai Xue pondered for a moment and then clapped her hands, Senior, what do you think about hiring another staff member to watch the register? I see Mu Mu is really struggling to do it all by herself. How about offering three thousand a month, with work hours from twelve in the afternoon to eight at night, totaling eight hours a day, lodging and food not included, just to watch the shop and handle the cashier? There should be people willing to take up the job, right? Luo Xi: There probably are. In todays society, three thousand a month was enough to attract some people to the job. But, why is the boss discussing this with me, an employee? And Ai Xue hadnt said anything to him even though he had been slacking off since he arrived in the morning. From the difference in treatment, he could clearly sense that Ai Xue probably never intended to treat him as just an employee when she asked him to help. At this thought, Luo Xi suddenly felt a bit guilty about having blocked her when classes started. Its just twenty thousand red tickets after all, earned leisurely through excess game stamina [Note: Garbage Traveler, youve fallen into the trap of a little rich girl. But compared to the two beast-eared Lolitas that you cant just kidnap and do lewd things with openly, a little rich girl actually smells quite sweet, at least theres some hehe possible?] Luo Xi: Where on earth did this damn text pick up such language vocabulary!? Am I the type of person who thinks only of lewd things?! Ai Xue cheerfully went to discuss hiring someone with Chen Momo, while Luo Xi, seeing the situation, began to work seriously in the shop. Such as soothing restless cats, serving tea and beverages to customers, and occasionally taking pictures with them. Of course, he also kept an eye on the projected game text. At this moment, his counterpart in the Dream World had already returned to the room Shopkeeper Lena had given him, burying his head in sleep. Chu Tian had come to knock on the door once, and Luo Xi, guessing he just wanted to chat about nothing important, didnt bother with him. [Thump thump thump!] [Traveler, theres a knocking at the door again, and you are woken up.] [Ding! Your Happiness Level -10] [Whats with the knocking! Cant people rest here? What if you wake them up?!] [More yelling and grunting came from outside the door.] [I have important matters to discuss with Brother Luo, damn beautiful shopkeeper, dont hit me!] [Bam!] Luo Xi: [Traveler, you get up from the bed, walk over, and open the door, only to see Chu Tian lying on the floor again, with his mouth open and eyes closed.] [Shopkeeper Lena glanced at you, said nothing, and walked downstairs carrying some household items.] [Chu Tian leaned on the door, stood up, and groaned in pain, Brother, its so hard to get to Winter City, are you interested in exploring with me? Ive found many interesting places here, but Im scared to go alone; my talents side effect makes me too easy to beat, and dying causes me to lose attributes in reality. Honestly, ever since I learned that the people in this world are more than just data, Ive been too scared to just die randomly.] [Traveler, you nodded, agreeing with Chu Tian.] [What kind of terrifying, unknown existence would a person capable of resurrection be to the natives of this world?] [Even though youve explained it to Weier and Aina several times, they couldnt possibly believe you without seeing it themselves.] [The old lady who killed you several times got so scared that she just picked up her bucket and ran away.] [Traveler, you ask, What are these interesting places you mentioned?] [For example, that gambling den next door, I won about 100 gold coins the day before yesterday and yesterday, but then they] [Slap!] [Traveler, you resolutely close the door.] [Gambling addict doesnt deserve a room!] [The person outside the door pleads, Wait, Brother Luo, I havent finished talking yet! Give me another chance!] [Traveler, you crack the door a bit, If you talk nonsense again, Ill stop listening to your blabbering.] [Chu Tian quickly says, Alright, alright, heres the thing: next to the gambling den, theres an underground black market where they sell a lot of interesting things, including information and intelligence. Ive overheard a bit of what you were discussing outside your room, and that Liya person must be really important, right? Is she part of the quest line that comes with those two beast-eared little Lolitas you have? If youre looking for information, I think the underground black market might have some leads.] [Traveler, you think there might be some truth to what Chu Tian is saying.] [But would Shopkeeper Lena and Weiers mother, as master and disciple, have overlooked a place like the black market in their search for Liya?] [Traveler, you pick up the hat from your head, I cant just go out like this.] [Chu Tian paused, then said, Indeed, although dying only costs us one life, if those powerful people in Winter City find out about our special trait, well be in big trouble. Looks like I oversimplified things.] Luo Xi thought for a moment. Truth be told, this problem wasnt much of an issue for him. If he could find some useful clues, it would be worth it even if he had to rewind once. [Traveler, you then say, But I think we should give it a try, your suggestion is good.] [Ding! Chu Tians Confusion Level +10] [Chu Tian asks curiously, Brother Luo, are you sure you want to go? Although the black market doesnt care about the identity of those who enter, if your Variant identity is exposed, were definitely in for big trouble.] Chapter 94 - 94 93 Cant I watch while helping Wei’er bathe_1 ?Chapter 94: Chapter 93 Cant I watch while helping Weier bathe?_1 Chapter 94: Chapter 93 Cant I watch while helping Weier bathe?_1 [Traveler, you say, I know, so I said we could try, didnt say we had to go, let me ask the innkeeper first.] [The two Lolitas were still catching up on sleep, and you, as a traveler, didnt want to disturb their rest. If you really were to investigate the black market, it would definitely be better to go alone; more people would only increase the likelihood of being exposed.] [Traveler, as you and Chu Tian came down from the second floor, you heard a sizzling strange sound; you followed the sound and then saw Shopkeeper Lena sharpening a knife in the snow outside, blade gleaming and evidently very sharp.] [Chu Tian roared, This is bad, that damn innkeeper looks like shes going to butcher us and turn us into meat buns! Brother Luo, get out of here; Ill hold her back!] Luo Xi: This guy had previously said he was often targeted because of his talent, but Luo Xi felt it was more likely because of his mouth that he was beatenhis talent played at most a secondary role. [After a crisp sound of blade ringing, a knife flew past in front of the you, the traveler, and stuck into the ground behind you, cutting off a corner of Chu Tians clothes just by chance.] [The innkeepers eyes cold, she stared at Chu Tian and said, What did you call me again? How about you say it one more time? I might consider really turning you into meat buns.] [Chu Tian clammed up and didnt speak further, trembling as he hid behind you, the traveler. However, being taller than you, his hair still stuck out even when he was behind you.] [Shopkeeper Lena turned to look at you, the traveler, and asked, Why arent you resting? Do you need something from me?] [Its still about Weier and Ainas mother.] [Traveler, you spoke up, I heard from Chu Tian that there are informants in the underground black market who buy information. Have you been there to ask around?] [Lena squinted her eyes at the traveler, scrutinizing for a while before she slowly said, You really care about those two kids, dont you? Even though youve only known them for such a short time.] [From behind you, Chu Tian interjected, Because hes a Loli-con; when he sees a Lolita, he cant move on, I understand this quite well. Sometimes when I see a busty woman, I cant move on, oh, thats the old me] [Ding! Your Anger Value +10] [Traveler, you turned around and swung a punch.] [With a thud, the young man was knocked down by your fist and could not get up again.] [Note: Junk traveler, you got angry after being called out on your xp, didnt you?] [Shopkeeper Lena nodded in satisfaction, Feels good to punch him, doesnt it? He truly deserves it. I knew his mouth was this obnoxious; I shouldnt have saved his life at the City Guard.] [Traveler, you rubbed your knuckles and also nodded, Indeed.] [Shopkeeper Lena walked beside you and pulled the gleaming knife out of the ground, casually swung a flourish of the blade, shattering several snowflakes that fell in the wind into numerous tiny crystals.] [Traveler, you were puzzled, isnt this person supposed to be a Skill Practioner who draws skill scrolls? Shouldnt she be a practioner? Why is she so fluent with a knife?] [Shopkeeper Lena, looking at you, said, I did go to the black market once before, but the information there is of mixed quality, and some informers even fabricate fake information to deceive people. I sought many but didnt get the answers I wanted.] [Later, I realized that the Divine Tree Festival Teacher Liya participates in is Winter Citys highest-profile festival. Information like that, unless disclosed by the participants themselves, cant be acquired by anyone. After understanding this, I stopped wasting time on the black market.] [Not feeling convinced, you, the traveler, said, Your last visit to the black market has been quite some time ago, hasnt it? Why not go back and have a look? Perhaps you might find some useful information.] [] [Shopkeeper Lena, looking at you silently, said, The streets arent safe to travel on now, and the black market usually only opens at night. After those two kids go to sleep, Ill come get you. I hope you are prepared for the possibility that you might lose your life over this.] [Traveler, you thanked her with a single word.] [Chu Tian, trembling, raised his hand, I want to go too] [Suddenly, Weiers voice came from behind you.] [Why arent you considering taking me with you?] [Traveler, you turned around and saw Cat Catdressed only in her pajamas, hugging her chest with both hands, looking displeased at all of you, with her white hair in a messy clump as if she had just climbed out of bed.] [Truthfully, Cat Cat did have a bit of a chest, and hugging herself like that, you could actually notice a slight slope.] [Note: Suspicious pervert traveler, you still say you arent a pervert! She doesnt have much of a chest, and you want to look, but the rich girl gives you a free look, and you dont! If this isnt perverted, what is?] Damn it! Luo Xi suddenly banged the table, startling Ai Xue, who was discussing with Chen Momo whether to hire more staff at the counter. Senior, whats wrong with you?! Luo Xis gaze flitted past the front of Ai Xues clothing, casually saying, Nothing much, just been slandered by a junk person, feeling a bit annoyed. Hmph, not looking was because he had a line of morality! How one is in reality is how the subconscious controlled character in the game would be. So he was sure he was not the kind to do evil everywhere. He just wanted to do some things he could do. That was all. [Note: Good! So traveler, it seems you are quite self-aware after all, admitting that you are an incurable pervert, arent you?] [Ding! Traveler, your Anger Value +30] [Weier watched all of you with her pale red eyes, her voice stern, No matter what youve discussed, Im going with you.] [Shopkeeper Lena chose to compromise, Alright, at night, Ill brew a cup of black tea for you all. The cup for Aina will have a sleepy effect. Once your sister falls asleep, well set out.] [Weier nodded, Mhm.] You should go back to your room; arent you cold without wearing thick clothes? Lena caught a snowflake in her hand, wondering aloud, Why does it feel like the temperature is getting lower and lower? Has it ever been this cold around this time of year in the past? [Traveler, you feel Cat Cat gently kick your foot.] Weier puffs up her cheeks and glares at you, saying, Damn it, you actually want to slip away without us? Dont even think about it! [Traveler, you feel somewhat helpless.] However, with Weier around, the likelihood of escaping in case of an accident was much higher, especially since Cat Cats ability to phase through walls was quite formidable. Lets go, I didnt rest well last night, Ill go back and sleep some more. [Weier walked back up the stairs.] [Traveler, you followed behind Weier.] Suddenly, Weiers body came to a halt, stopping on the stairs motionless. [Traveler, you are puzzled, not understanding why Weier suddenly stopped.] Damn why now of all times [Traveler, you hear Weier mutter something under her breath, her body goes limp and she collapses toward you.] You catch Weier in your arms, and before you can appreciate the softness of the cat-eared Lolitas body, clothed only in her pajamas, you notice that her body is scorching hot, as if she has a fever. The girls delicate face flushes with a hint of red, as if she has fainted, unconsciously furrowing her brows and pursing her lips. Her cat tail also hangs limply by her side, dragging on the stairs. Luo Xi: ! S~ea??h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Whats wrong with Cat Cat? [Traveler, you quickly shout, Shopkeeper Lena! Somethings happened to Weier!] [Upon hearing your cry, Lena immediately runs over and her expression changes drastically upon seeing the girl in your arms, This is the balance of the Mutant Factor being disrupted and starting to shift again. As a Variant, you should know this, right? Quickly put her in the room over there, Ill get a wet towel and water.] Whats wrong with my sister? [Traveler, you hear Ainas anxious voice, the Little Wolf Girl standing in her thin nightgown on the second floor, looking down.] [You carry Weier up the stairs and into their room.] [Traveler, you ask Aina, Does this happen to you often?] [If the symptoms of Mutant Factor encroachment are frequent, does that mean you will perpetually be plagued by it as well?] Aina shakes her head, Aina hasnt had the symptoms of the Factor encroachment for a long time, my sister about once every two years or so.] The erosiveness and stability of Mutant Factors differ from category to category. [Shopkeeper Lena enters with a basin of water. She sets it on the floor and, as she wrings out a towel, says, Some Mutant Patients may only have a few episodes of Factor Concentration encroachment in their whole lives and can live to a natural death. Some Variants intensify their Mutation several times a year and soon become humanoid Origin Beasts. Aina and Weier are considered to have more stable Factors.] It looks like Weier is about to reach the peak of the First-tier Mutation. One more intensification, and shes likely going to break through to the Second-tier. [Lena looks back at you, For Mutant Patients with Dragon Species factor, like you, the Mutation usually intensifies once every three months. Very few live out their natural lifespan.] [Traveler, youre not sure what to say, should you laugh?] Lena frowns, Im going to undress Weier to wipe down her body; arent you leaving? [Traveler, you ask without thinking, Cant I watch?] Note: You, the despicable Traveler, are such a pervert! [Ding! Lenas Alertness Value toward you +20] No! [Traveler, you are chased out by Shopkeeper Lena, who does not permit you, a man with ill-intentions, to stay in the room.] [Your Happiness Level -10] Luo Xi: Where did this ill-intent come from? Isnt he just worried? [Traveler, you stand outside the room door, and then you see Chu Tian, supporting himself against the wall with several new bumps on his forehead.] [Brother Luo, thats not fair of you. I didnt mean to call you a Loli-con, why hit me with a punch] [Traveler, at that moment, you hear a clamor as the noise filters through the walls of the inn.] [Burn the Variants! Dont let them contaminate our city! Drive them out!] [Chu Tian is stunned and he quickly rushes downstairs.] [Traveler, you chase after him.] [Reaching the first floor, Chu Tian opens the inn door halfway, and you see hundreds of people clad in thick robes passing by the street in front of the inn, densely packed, waving flags and banners. The text on the banners reads clearly: Drive the Variants out of the city!] Chapter 95 - 95 94 Let Go of That Beast Eared Big Sister ?Chapter 95: Chapter 94 Let Go of That Beast Eared Big Sister! Bastards!_1 Chapter 95: Chapter 94 Let Go of That Beast Eared Big Sister! Bastards!_1 [Traveler, some residents passing by Winter City saw that your door was open and came over to tell you] [A middle-aged woman holding a sign said to you, You want to drive those Variants out, too, dont you? Just watching is useless! Lets protest together, march together, and make the Mansion of the City Lord and the City Guard drive out all those dirty Variants!] [Soon, the woman was swept away by the crowd of compellers, and as the crowd moved on, the demonstrating protesters disappeared at the end of the street] [Squeak] [Chu Tian closed the door, glanced at you, and said, Brother Luo, I want to take back what I said before about wanting the talent of Variants. This talent is too much of a pitfall, directly reducing ones status to the very bottom, right there with the Dalits on the other side of reality.] [Traveler, you remained noncommittal] [However, as the saying goes, when you lose something, you gain something else. In losing the chance to mingle with the regular human community of this world, you gained a pathway to become stronger much faster than the average person] [Note: You also gained two beast-eared Lolitas] Isnt that not yet acquired? Thats not the point! Senior? Ai Xue waved her hand in front of Luo Xis eyes: Senior, why are you daydreaming again? Ive just arranged with the customers that we will close from 12 noon to 2 p.m. for two hours, and we will compensate them with a 20 yuan voucher. Now we can go to lunch!] Oh, oh. Luo Xi snapped out of it and nodded, Alright. He looked at the text floating before his eyes and felt somewhat moved. The discrimination that Mutant Patients in that world faced was evident, no wonder even Weiers mother, a Tier Four Skill Practitioner, was reluctant to bring her daughters to live inside Winter City. The surrounding looks of strangeness and discrimination would only bring Weier and the others more pressure; it was more relaxing to live in Variant gathering places like Grey Stone Street. Meow~ Unknown when, a group of cats scattered around the cat caf gathered again beside Luo Xi, one even leaped forcefully from the sofa onto his shoulder. Customers came to the cat caf to pet cats, but it was Luo Xi who was there to be enveloped by the cats. Chen Momo squatted down to pick up a British Shorthair blue cat. After petting it a few times, the cat struggled out of her arms and pounced into Luo Xis embrace. Ai Xue envied him from the side: Senior, how did you get such a cat-attracting physique? Luo Xi smiled and said, Natural? What if he went to a zoo? What kind of situation would occur? Dont dare go, dont dare go. It would be bad to cause a disturbance. Only after Ai Xue locked up the cat caf, did the group leave the premises. Shortly after, Luo Xi realized that a bunch of words from Chu Tian had appeared before his eyes again. [Chu Tian said, Brother Luo, I heard that during the last storm disaster, the inhabitants of Grey Stone Street were not allowed to enter. Why is this time different from ten years ago? Unusual events usually signal malign forces; there must certainly be some kind of conspiracy involved.] [Chu Tian added, Im going to follow and check it out, Brother Luo are you coming?] [Traveler, you look up at the floor above, nothing stirs] [After all, you have to go out sometime. Staying in here all the time wont get you any useful information. With Cat Cat and Aina not around, you could go out and explore a bit] [Lets go.] [Chu Tian said, Then lets hurry and catch up. Speaking of which, these citizens of Winter City really are carefree. With the natural disaster stirring up chaos outside, they dont even glance at it, instead scheming to drive away the Mutant Patients. They belong to the type who are so full that theyre looking for trouble. Now I really want to know what expressions these people would have if the silver radiance of the Divine Tree were also broken.]] [Traveler, you say, Have you ever thought, if this thing breaks, we wont be able to survive either.] [Chu Tian: ] In Winter City. A temporary gathering area for thousands of Mutant Patients. Many big and small shelters had been erected to shield against the wind and snow, but such fragile dwellings provided neither warmth nor a sturdy structure, and collapses were common. Many had already been buried in the snow several times. Nearly a hundred City Guard members patrolled the inside, with a dozen more standing guard at the exit. Mommy, Im so cold A young girl wearing a tattered cotton coat with a pair of rabbit ears atop her head was shaking uncontrollably in her mothers arms. Warm stones, does anyone have warm stones? Lend me one! The woman walked around the gathering place holding her daughter, looking for a warm stone, but no one was willing to lend them one. Of course, the main reason was the lack of warm stones in this place. Almost all the residents of Grey Stone Street huddled in their shelters, shivering, relying on clustering together for a bit of warmth. They had rushed out in the morning so hastily that most had brought only clothes and food, with hardly anyone carrying heavy warm stones C or to put it another way, they hadnt expected Winter City to be so cold, nor had anyone reminded them. The patrolling guards forbid them from wandering around at will. The woman, holding the girl, evaded the gaze of the guards and finally reached the exit of the gathering place. A fully armed guard with a spear stopped her, saying coldly, Where do you think youre going? No one is allowed out! The woman knelt down and pleaded, Lord, my child is going to freeze to death, please give us some warm stones The guard replied coldly, Its no use begging me. Whose fault is it you didnt bring warm stones into the city? The Mansion of the City Lord is applying for a batch of warm stones; you all just have to wait. But but my child cant wait anymore, and many others cant hold on The guard scoffed, If you die, you die; dont think your lives are worth much, do you? Burn the Variants! Dont let them contaminate our city! Drive them all out! Drive out every single Variant without mercy! Loud and sharp voices carried over with the wind and snow. The guard looked surprised. What are these clueless people trying to stir up? He looked back and saw a dark mass of people moving from the end of this temporary gathering place, around the corner of the street, towards them. A dozen City Guard soldiers held their weapons and guarded the entrance to the temporary gathering area. The guard barked, Whats going on? Are you rabble looking to revolt? How dare you! Although they did not particularly care about the survival of the Variants, they had been instructed from above to ensure that these Variants lived longer. If all the Variants were to be killed by the rabble, it would be troublesome. Someone shouted, Theyve contaminated our air! Expel them! The voices of the residents were as loud as thunder. A woman holding a girl saw this scene and kept retreating backward. Her face, wrought with hardship, showed a trace of bitterness and despair. For people like her in this world, was there not even a shred of tolerance? In the hotpot restaurant. Luo Xi was eating hotpot and occasionally responded to Ai Xue and Chen Momos questions, but his main focus was still on the text. [Traveler, you and Chu Tian followed behind the marching residents, watching their actions.] [They arrived at an open area, and in front of them was a wild field surrounded by iron fencing, covered in a vast expanse of white with shanties everywhere.] [You heard the endless abuse from the citizens of Winter City towards the Mutant Patients, with some even throwing ignited unknown objects inside.] [Through the gaps, you saw some young children, even smaller than Aina, running out of the shanties, looking outside in panic, their eyes filled with nothing but bewilderment and fear.] [Suddenly, a lofty voice pierced through the cold and snowflakes, echoing down the street.] [Lord Delkus, the Great Judge, is coming. Make way on your own accord!] [In an instant, silence fell like the night, and the crowd that had gathered in the street dispersed in disarray.] [In just half a minute, Traveler, you saw the street before you become deserted.] [We need to hide quickly too! This judge is said to be a pervert, and merely looking at him on the street can get you arrested and sentenced to death!] [Chu Tian quickly grabbed you and ran toward a nearby corner.] [Traveler, you looked back and saw that with the rhythm of engine sounds, a stretch black metal vehicle had stopped at the entrance to the Mutant Patients gathering area.] [An old man with stooping posture and graying hair got out of the car.] [The old man seemed to sense something and looked toward you, but you had already run into an alleyway, narrowly missing his gaze.] Delkus retracted his gaze. He glanced at the dozen guards here. Under those eyes with white cataracts, the guards suddenly felt a chill in their bones. Sarch* The N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Delkuss voice was devoid of warmth, Whats the situation? A guard stepped forward, bowing respectfully, Lord Judge, this morning the Mansion of the City Lord asked us to move the Variants of Grey Stone Street in here. This is a temporary gathering area we set up for the Variants. The old man looked down, his eyes sharp, Im asking about those rabble. Who allowed them to question my decision? The guard was startled. Was the decision to allow the Variants to enter the city made by this Great Judge? But why would this judgeknown to be a cold-hearted devil who would sentence people to death for even minor offensessuddenly start caring about Variants? Forget it, asking you is pointless. The old man glanced at the shanties within the gathering area and spoke, By tomorrow noon, select two hundred healthy Variants, half of each gender, and send them to my residence in the city. If even one is missing, I will take it from your ranks. The guards agreed immediately, Yes, Lord Judge! Lord, Lord! Please save my child! The woman who had previously tried to ask the guards for warming stones took advantage of their distraction and dashed out, kneeling in the snow with her child, pleading with the old man. Stupid woman! What are you doing? The guards were nearly scared to death on the spot. Delkus ignored the womans pleas and got back into the car. The guards breathed a sigh of relief. Oh, Lord Judge, may I ask if there is an age limit? The old man scoffed, No limit, just healthy is enoughalthough, theyre hardly healthy however you look at it. As the black vehicle departed, the guards looked unfavorably at the woman kneeling on the ground, her face filled with despair. A guard violently kicked her, knocking both the woman and her daughter to the ground. You nearly got me killed; watch how I wont kill you! You want a warming stone, huh? Ill go find one to feed you in a bit! The woman instantly crawled, shielding her daughter beneath her, taking the fierce kicks of several guards on her back, emitting muffled groans. Dont, please dont hit Mommy anymore! The young cries received no answer. Damn it! In the shanties of the gathering area, Leks forehead throbbed with bulging veins, his fists clenched tight, as he rose, intending to go out but was held back by a family members desperate grip on his arm. Then, he lowered his head in defeat. Here, they were all wretches. Wretches have no right to feel sorry for others. Just when everyone felt most helpless and desperate, a deep voice sounded. Bastards! Let go of that Beast Eared Girl, Big Sister! Chapter 96 - 96 95 I The Protector of the Beast Eared Girl_1 ?Chapter 96: Chapter 95: I, The Protector of the Beast Eared Girl!_1 Chapter 96: Chapter 95: I, The Protector of the Beast Eared Girl!_1 Time rewound to eight minutes ago. Ai Xue and Chen Momo looked at Luo Xi, who had unknowingly slipped into a daydreaming state, with some speechlessness. Xiao Xue, why does your senior seem to daydream so much? He even spaces out while eating? Shhh, dont talk, Im going to take some photos of the senior. Ai Xue took out her phone and snapped several pictures of Luo Xis face. Hehe, even when hes daydreaming, the senior looks so handsome~ Luo Xis eyebrows twitched as he picked up a piece of fatty beef and put it in his mouth, indicating that he hadnt fallen asleep yet. Of course, his attention had indeed focused on the text. [Traveler, Chu Tian pulled you into a side alley, where some people who had hidden themselves were those Winter City residents who had been demonstrating in the parade earlier.] [Traveler, you ask, Who is Justice Delkus?] [I heard about it yesterday at the casino. Chu Tian explained to you with panting breaths, This Justice Delkuss name is absolutely notorious in this Winter City. From seventy-year-old men to three-year-old children, anyone would be scared off by this name. Even the most heinous murderers turn cowardly at the sight of him.] [Traveler, you notice that the people around you suddenly change their gaze toward you, some distancing themselves as if they had seen the plague.] [A man in his thirties spoke in a heavy tone, Gentlemen, have you come from a city outside? Let me warn you, in Winter Citys public places, dont talk carelessly about the negative aspects of Justice Delkus. You might find yourself shackled and sent to the tribunal for a death sentence tomorrow. Its said that those sentenced to death have been turned into living dead creaturesso difficult to die they can.] Luo Xi: Through these descriptions, he could now roughly confirm that this Justice Delkus was indeed the boss of the special missionPurging of Necromancythat he had triggered before. How was he supposed to make such a significant figure pay for his crimes? Could a verbose argument persuade him to commit suicide? [Some sneered, I bet Justice Delkus has his eye on those Variants. Good riddance, filthy Variants should all be killed by Delkus to stop polluting our Winter City environment.] [Others disagreed, Your thinking is wrong. We should keep some Variants. We just need to make them leave the Inner City. If theyre all killed, who will work in our mines and fields?] [Traveler, the more you listen to these people, the more desolate this world feels. They really never considered Mutant Patients as human beings.] [Lets go; since Justice is here, everyone should leave for today. Lets come back in a few days to see the situation. Also, why is it getting colder and colder? Im already freezing after so little time outside.] [As some people lead the way to leave, more and more residents squeezed in this small alley started to exit through other exits.] [Traveler, you should also go back. I wonder how Cat Cat is doing.] [Chu Tian suddenly said, Brother Luo, wait! Did you hear that noise?] [Chu Tian moved towards the alley exit a bit, his face changed color.] [Then, you saw him completely walk out.] [Traveler, seeing this, you followed as well. You saw the young mans face puzzled and angry: How can they beat up Beast Eared Girl like that? Dont these people have any compassion?] [Note: Were not clear why hes angry.] [] [You looked in the direction of Chu Tians gaze.] [At the exit of the gathering place, several people dressed as guards were kicking a woman together.] [The woman curled up, seemingly protecting something. After the guards kicked her once more, you saw clearly that it was a young girl.] [Was the woman her mother?] [Unexpectedly, the womans expression calmed down, as if from the start, she had no expectations.] [Brother Luo, I really cant stand this any longer.] [Traveler, you saw the young mans expression turn from angry to serious, I have to do something.] [Chu Tian wrapped a scarf around his face, and took out a big sword from his bag. Without a word, he charged towards the guards, yelling: Bastards! Let go of that Beast Eared Girl!] [The young man moved quickly like the wind. In an instant, he was in front of the guards. To their astonishment, he swung his sword at them.] [A guard picked up a spear and jabbed it, hitting the back of Chu Tians sword, then flipped it and smacked his back.] [Snap!] [Chu Tian fell down.] [Ding! Your Shock Value +30] Luo Xi: Somehow, as he looked at the textual description, he felt like laughing at that guy, yet he couldnt bring himself to do so. The characters in the Dream world correspond to their subconscious in reality, which implies that if such a situation occurred in real life, Chu Tian would probably rush forward and do something similar. What about me? If I saw such a scene, what would I do? [Ding! Traveler, you have triggered the Free Mission: Redemption (I)] [Briefing of the Mission: These Mutant Patients from Grey Stone Street have fallen into an unknown fate. Traveler, do you have the power to redeem their destiny, or are you just a witness to their fate? (Stage one): Witnessing the defenseless mother and daughter being abused by the guards, what do you wish to do at this moment, Traveler?] [Reward: Random Talent Draw x1 (range between WhiteBlue)] [Description: Perhaps, you have become a part of their fate as well?] [Ding! Traveler, you have triggered temporary Dreamland synchronization.] [This synchronization time lasts for 30 minutes, not counting toward the usual Dreamland synchronization module use time.] [Would you like to use it?] Luo Xi sprang up from his seat and walked towards the exit of the hot pot restaurant. Ai Xue and Chen Momo exchanged bewildered glances. Senior, where are you going? Im stuffed, need to hit the restroom. Oh.. Luo Xi didnt head for the restroom; instead, he found a massage chair near the entrance of a nearby movie theater and lay down on it. He squinted his eyes. Come to think of it, why should he worry so much? Worst comes to worst, he could just reset once. He remembered that he seemed to have something good that he hadnt used yet, right? It was a good opportunity to try it out. [Yes] [Traveler, welcome to the journey of dreams~] Luo Xi lightly touched the hat on his head and heard angry voices in the distance. Where did this lunatic come from? He comes up and wants to chop people?! Everyone just keep hitting, if he dies, Ill take responsibility! The sounds of punches and kicks came through, especially clear amidst the wind and snow. One could only imagine how badly Chu Tian was being beaten. [Do you want to take out the Essence Power Armor?] [Yes] In the empty snowy field, a three-meter-tall black metallic armor suddenly appeared. Luo Xi, just like the first time, opened the hatch and entered. He took off his hat and watched as the ordinary-looking cap twisted into countless runes and entered deep into the power armor. [Power core load complete (Current Yuan Su reserve can be used continuously for: 15 minutes)] [Mithril mechanism operating normally] [Visual/Perception/Limb/Spirit synchronization modules activated] [Essence Power ArmorPrototype, has been successfully rebooted] The moment the reboot was successful, his view became clear all at once, no longer obscured by fog. Luo Xi took a deep breath. Whoosh White steam spurted from the back of the armor, instantly turning into shattered ice crystals, like pure white sacred lotuses. Chu Tian barely kept his eyes open and laughed through the beating, Uh Im telling you, youve gotten into big trouble Even if I die here today, one day I will return to eliminate the injustice in this place! The guard was furious, Still talking tough?! Sear?h the N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. As a pure-blooded human, have you lost your mind? Were beating a Variant and you want to attack us?! You want to save these two Variants, dont you? Today, Ill send you all on your way together! Ill let you see how these two women die first! The long spear swept past Chu Tians face and stabbed towards the women behind him. Chu Tian abruptly leaned his shoulder, barely deflecting the long spear slightly off course. Though he knew his effort was futile. He looked back with a hint of despair. The woman, holding her daughter, closed her eyes. Im sorry, I cant save you now Boom boom boom! The guards sneered, ready to continue with their spears, but the sudden heavy noise startled everyone. What the hell was that? When they saw the power armor, ejecting a massive amount of ice crystals from its back and charging towards them, everyones gaze instantly froze. Damn, isnt that the type of power armor only the Mansion of the City Lord has? A guard stepped forward, holding his spear, and shouted, Stop right there! This area is under the supervision of the Mansion of the City Lord! However, the armor was extremely fast and, in a moment, it reached the guard. In the disbelieving stares of the crowd, it punched out, and the sandbag-sized iron fist smashed the spear and hit the guard in the stomach, sending him flying into the shanty area. The remaining guards were bewildered. Why would a comrade under the City Owner suddenly attack them? Could it be another madman like this lunatic? Chu Tian, though baffled, seized the moment to run off to one side with the woman. Luo Xi inside the power armor was also bewildered. The text that appeared before his eyes refreshed with many lines. [Ding! Traveler, you have earned the title: Protector of the Beast Eared Lolita] [Description: Only by following your own heart, and after protecting two or more young Variant girls in the Dream World, can you gain this title. Once equipped, all Beast Eared Little Lolitas will have an inherent Favorability boost of +10 towards you] ??? What kind of a bizarre title is this? [Note: I, the Protector of the Beast Eared Lolita!Traveler, from now on, when you encounter an enemy, you can proudly shout out this sentence to shock them] Damn text, are you sure they wont die laughing instead?! Chapter 97 - 97 96 Master dont pity me ~ Use me to your ?Chapter 97: Chapter 96 Master, dont pity me ~ Use me to your hearts content! Two-in-one_1 Chapter 97: Chapter 96 Master, dont pity me ~ Use me to your hearts content! Two-in-one_1 Luo Xi clenched his fist. The armored fist, composed of metallic mechanisms, clenched in unison. This strange experience was so marvelous, the mechanical body seemed like an extension of his own, although there was a slight sense of action delay, it was still incredibly astonishing. The frost flowers periodically spraying from his back were like the armor breathing, spreading around the armor and drifting away with the cold wind as if cheering for the power armors return to battle after so many years. [Ding! Sparks favorability towards you +10] [Ding! Sparks favorability towards you +3] Luo Xi: ! Whats with this favorability situation?! Could it be that this power armor, imbued with a naive consciousness, was expressing its joy at being able to fight again? Although Cat Cat had previously mentioned that weapons forged by master-level craftsmen possess souls, this situation where the armor showed favorability was indeed quite surprising to him. Suddenly, the several hundred other guards patrolling the shanty area heard the commotion and rushed over with their weapons, some of whom were leaders of small squads. On seeing the massive figure, they instantly gasped in astonishment. Why is there an Essence Power armor here?! This model of armor looks really old; it should have been retired by now, shouldnt it? Why is there still one that can move? Who is operating it inside? Is it a colleague from the Mansion of the City Lord? Then why is he attacking us?! You should know that unless authorized by the Mansion of the City Lord, ordinary people are not allowed to possess complete power armors. Most of the armors that end up on the market are merely decorative, with their power cores and mithril mechanisms removed, nothing more than empty shells useless even if reclaimed. A guard in purple scale armor growled: No matter who is operating the armor, anyone who dares to attack and kill our brothers of the City Guard must pay the price! Someone had already helped the guard who had been punched into the encampment by the power armor, only to find that the guard had been smashed into a pulp and quickly frozen into a bloody lump in the cold environment. The tall power armor bowed its head, gazing at the increasingly gathered guards ahead. Since the fog inside the armors cockpit had cleared, Luo Xi could clearly see bewilderment, confusion, and anger written on the guards faces. Why do you not feel fear? The one who was punched away by him was probably dead, right? However, this time Luo Xi didnt feel nauseous after the killing intent dissipated, unlike when he had previously killed Black Snake. Humans, as creatures, are always swayed by different thoughts, and their personalities can gradually and subtly change due to environmental influences. The old him would never have so easily used such a lethal weapon to take another persons life. After all, he had come to understand that this is a real world, not merely a game. Yet, after his experiences in this period, Luo Xi found that the normal people of this world held no sympathy for the Mutant Patients, who should be pitied. They beat and harmed their own kin without restraint, sparing not even little children. Are these still called human beings? He was not clear about what would happen afterward. Now, Luo Xi just wanted to vent the anger hidden in his heart. You all dont treat people as human beings, right? So, I dont need to treat you as humans either! One guard, bolstered by the assembly of his comrades, shouted with new-found confidence: Listen up, whoever you are inside, how dare you attack Luo Xi narrowed his eyes. A memory that had existed only in written descriptions suddenly surged into his mind. This man, he had seen him before. He was the unscrupulous guard at the gates of Winter City who had robbed him of two silver coins and a heap of copper coins, and who had almost taken his life. Thus, Luo Xi did not hesitate to throw another punch. The sound of metallic mechanisms rubbing and the roar of the fist tearing through the air almost coincided in one instant! The guards eyes widened as he was directly hit by the punch and sent flying, this time knocking back several of his teammates with him and finally crashing heavily into the snow. No one expected that under the full assembly of the City Guard stationed here, the controller within the power armor would dare to strike once more. The guard captain leading this City Guard troop finally appeared, raising his spear and bellowing, Seize this rebel! Dead or alive doesnt matter! Luo Xi revealed a pleased smile. This was more like it. It really felt like he was playing a virtual reality game now. [Would you like to draw the eight-forged steel machete?] [Yes] A flash of white light passed, and in the hand of the armor appeared a large machete; however, compared to the armors massive frame, the machete actually seemed somewhat small. With a casual swing of the blade, he pushed back the encroaching guards and Luo Xi looked up at the guard captain issuing commands. To catch the bandits, first catch their head! Stepping forward with the armor, like a dump truck, he sent everyone blocking his path flying, took several skillful ice lance attacks head-on, and charged fiercely toward that person. And then, he swung down with his blade! Bang! Sar?h the N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. But this blow missed its mark. The guard captains figure was ghostly, his lips revealing a scornful smile, suddenly moving to the side of the armor. Chapter 98 - 98 96 Master dont pity me ~ Use me to your ?Chapter 98: Chapter 96 Master, dont pity me ~ Use me to your hearts content! Two-in-one_2 Chapter 98: Chapter 96 Master, dont pity me ~ Use me to your hearts content! Two-in-one_2 Foolish. In his hand, the spear developed a strange circular pattern of ice blue. Following that, bursts of pure frostfire bloomed from the tip of the spear, stabbing towards the abdomen of the mechanical suit. Winter Frostfire! Seal! The ice-blue flames opened up and spread, turning into an intense chill. With the environments enhancement, it began at the suits abdomen, and in just two seconds, the entire mechanical suit was encapsulated in ice. Within the dark eyes of the armor, a dim light gradually faded, as if ceasing to operate. Watching the encased armor, the guards let go of their held breaths. The team leaders move was really beautiful! Worthy of being a Second-tier Winter Knight! Our team leader is almost Third-tier, right? The captain of the guards roared, Quiet! He stared intently at the armor he had frozen. Logically speaking, hit by his strike, unless the person inside the armor also had the strength of a Second-tier sublimated person, they shouldnt be able to muster enough strength to break the ice, a pressure exerted from the Tier of internal Yuan Su. The weak handling an Essence Power suit are still weak in the end. Of course, a sublimated person with Second-tier capabilities wouldnt be frozen so easily by him either. But how to put it, the controller inside the armor had too poor a sense of battle and fighting qualities. Poor as though they had never undergone systematic battle training. Isnt that a joke? How did someone without any battle training get their hands on a functioning mechanical suit? The captain of the guards felt his heart ignite with anticipation. Regardless of whether he could keep this mechanical suit, just capturing this person with thoughts of rebellion, he would have contributed a great merit. Combined with his previously accumulated wealth and exploited materials, could he possibly exchange them for enough resources to step into the Third-tier, truly become a Winter Knight, and from there enter the power circle of Winter City? Many Mutant Patients in the settlement were frightened, dared not show their faces, while only a few individuals stood outside. Lek watched incredulously at the armor that was frozen in the distance. Wasnt that the big iron shell Elderly Alte from the craftsmens workshop had given to Weier and the others? Hadnt it been said it had lost its power core long ago? Whos controlling it inside? If Elderly Alte were here, he surely wouldve known something, but the elder had always been in contact with the city and had left their group early on, now his whereabouts unknown. Lek clenched his fists again. Actually, ever since that young man suddenly rushed out wanting to stop the guards from continuing to beat the mother and daughter, Leks heart had been in turmoil. Isnt that young man a pure-blood human? Why would he intervene for Mutant Patients? And the person inside the suit. Lek thought of the young man by Weiers side. Could it be him? They could have ignored it all, just like Leks previous choices, full of anger but not daring to speak, pathetically hiding in a corner, watching, hoping such things wouldnt happen to himself. Under such thoughts, he was filled with some anticipation, hoping for a miracle to happen. But this thread of hope was soon cruelly shattered by the cold reality. How many miracles could there be in this world? There really are no miracles, murmured the burly Bear man, looking down and sighing softly. You cant say that, someone sang softly beside him, Miracles do exist. Lek quickly turned his head. An elderly man with white hair, bird feathers adorning both sides of his head, had unknowingly landed beside him. Lek said in astonishment, Mr. Alte, hadnt you left already? I had a cup of tea with an old friend I knew from before and wanted to ask him to give us a hand so we could have a better couple of days. But I never expected such an incident to occur. The elder glanced at the encapsulated armor, his eyes flickering, and said softly, So-called miracles, one interpretation is the ability to turn death into life, like us craftsmen who endow mechanical devices with spirit. If he can make a suit that has lost its power move again, what else but a miracle is that? Leks lips moved slightly, But the miracle I spoke of isnt The kind of miracle you want requires striving for it yourself, the old man patted Leks shoulder and sighed, Merely wishing for the mercy and charity of others, in the end, we return to the starting point. Even if a miracle helps you temporarily, for how long can it assist you? Sear?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Luo Xi shifted his body. Squeak, squeak Heck, frozen solid. His body inside the cockpit could still barely move, but the extended mechanical body was completely immobilized. It was then Luo Xi realized that he was lacking in many aspects of fighting, or to put it another way, he had insufficient understanding of the various abilities in this world. The opponent had merely used a simple evasive move combined with a control skill, and he was trapped in a state where he couldnt move an inch. Well, it looks like Ive screwed up. To think he had wanted to laugh at Chu Tian for going up only to feed, yet after only two exchanges, he himself was going to be done for. Luo Xi leaned back, waiting for his death and preparing to use Moonflow to rewind afterward. Zzztzzztzzztmmaster Suddenly, a noise like static appeared by his ear. Master zzzt Before Luo Xis eyes, a cluster of golden light appeared, and a barrage of chaotic voices began to emerge. ? Luo Xi had a feeling something incredible was about to happen. Then, the static noise began to clear up, turning gradually crisp and smooth, sounding gentle and mild, somewhat reminiscent of the AI synthesized voices of virtual singers like Miku and Tianyi in reality. Chapter 99 - 99 96 Master dont pity me ~ Use me to your ?Chapter 99: Chapter 96 Master, dont pity me ~ Use me to your hearts content! Two-in-one_3 Chapter 99: Chapter 96 Master, dont pity me ~ Use me to your hearts content! Two-in-one_3 Master give strength Master please do not spare Spark fully use Spark! [Ding! Your Shock Value +30] Luo Xi was dumbfounded, You can talk now?! The golden speck twinkled: ZiZiThe power core given by master contains special energy that is very pure and vast. Although it doesnt match Spark perfectlyzi, it really is huge, warm, and it has completely clarified Sparks consciousness. Master you are trapped now, and with your current strength even if you fully control Spark, you cannot escape There is only one way now. Please inject your Yuan Su into Sparks body Operate the Furnace Core at overload, thereby gaining an increase of 200%, no, with this core at least 300% in power! Sear?h the Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Ah? The speck flickered erratically: Are you worried about the core? Your power core is of a much higher level than Sparks. Even if it operates at overload, it wont be damaged, at most it will fall asleep for a day or two, please be assured. What about you then? With Sparks current body condition, after this, it can probably last for two more intense battles! So master, hurry up! Spark cant wait any longer! Luo Xi: Why does he feel like the newly born consciousness of this armor is like a little ruffian who wants to fight upon seeing a battle? But indeed, its worth a try. Luo Xi also wanted to know, to what extent could this armor perform under his control. As per Sparks description, the Yuan Su inside Luo Xi turned into a warm current, rolling outwards. The masters strength~ scalding, so delicious~ Luo Xi: ??? Is there something not quite right with this power armor? Its quite easy to let kids think of something else, isnt it! The text in front of him suddenly refreshed. [Essence Furnace Core has entered overload start mode (duration 3 minutes)] [Ding! Traveler, your Essence Power ArmorPrototype, has restarted and receives a temporary bonus of all strength +300% for a duration of 3 minutes. After the bonus ends, the Essence Furnace Core will temporarily enter a one-day sleep state, and the power armor will suffer some damage] [Ding! Traveler, the factor within you has fused with the Furnace Cores circuit ahead of time, activating the Mutant Factors inherent featureExplosive Burning] [Description: When this factor feature is activated in conjunction with the Essence Furnace Core, it will form a high-heat flame on the surface of the armor with an immediate explosion upon contact] Chu Tian was huddled in a corner, clutching his chest and coughing nonstop. Like Luo Xi, he had received a mission akin to redemption and obtained a temporary sync, so now he could feel his bodys Next to him, a mother-daughter pair with rabbit ears hugged a warm stone he had taken out of his bag, shivering for warmth. Chu Tian was somewhat at a loss now. He had rescued the people, but where could he take this mother and daughter? Shopkeeper Lena had told him he wasnt allowed to bring people back anymore. By the way, was that big guy Brother Luos ace in the hole? So cool, if only he could meet Brother Luo in person, he would be willing to spend a billion to buy that thing! He wondered how Brother Luo was doing now. Chu Tian struggled to his feet and walked outside. Suddenly, he realized he seemed to be stepping on something wet. Chu Tian looked down and was shocked to find the snow under his feet was continuously melting into water. The guard captain watched the armor with a deep gaze. It was definitely frozen solid, but he felt increasingly uneasy. Suddenly, a wave of heat blew fiercely onto his face. The guard captains pupils contracted sharply. What is this? Under everyones gaze, flames of black and red ignited on the armors body, carrying terrifying heat that melted the ice on its surface gradually. Those pitch-black eyes lit up again, slowly turning. The guard captain didnt dare to think about capturing it alive anymore. He stepped back and roared, Attack it with your maximum strength! Immediately after, he heard a roar. The massive armor had somehow broken free and was now in front of him. Then, with a speed many times faster than before, it swept down with a slash. This time, he couldnt dodge it. No, dont! Fear finally dawned on his face. The next moment, his vision turned pitch black, his life and aspirations for the future were both severed in that strike. Inside the cockpit, Sparks voice buzzed nonstop: Master is so awesome! The golden speck floated up and down before Luo Xis eyes, seemingly very happy too. Luo Xi didnt look at the body he had split in two but thought that this thing seemed like a ship-mounted AI. He wondered if it could morph into a human figure? [Ding! Please set the image you desire for Traveler] ? [Note: Lolita!] Chapter 100 - 100 97 Lolita Housewife One for Each of Us~ ?Chapter 100: Chapter 97: Lolita, Housewife, One for Each of Us~ [Two in One]_1 Chapter 100: Chapter 97: Lolita, Housewife, One for Each of Us~ [Two in One]_1 [Note: Lolita!] Luo Xi: Other than the word Lolita, cant you damn text spit out anything else?! [Note: No need for height, four feet will do, no need for a big chest, just be shapely and agile, that is a Lolita, only I shall invade, dress with cat ears] Luo Xi: Stop, stop, stop! Master? Golden light points frolicked before his eyes, seeming puzzled as to why Luo Xi stopped acting, when every second of the operating power armor was precious. Luo Xi couldnt be bothered with the text anymore. He asked, Spark, can you morph into a human form? Hmm, Sparks consciousness came into existence because of Master. Whatever appearance Master likes, Spark can change into that! Then just change into anything as long as its not a male figure. Randomly? The golden light points flickered and then the extension disappeared, immediately after which a tiny humanoid figure about ten centimeters tall floated in front of Luo Xi. S~ea??h the ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Luo Xis pupils suddenly contracted. What appeared before him was a golden-haired girl who seemed so delicate she could easily be played with, about the size of an action figure, just like a little elf. (??)!!! The girls slender curved eyebrows slightly raised, her large purple eyes staring down Luo Xi, with a tricolor top of blue, white and gray, and a checkered miniskirt that revealed colorful lace long stockings on her legs. By Luo Xis observation, if she were proportionally enlarged, it was questionable whether this little one stood even 140 cm tall. Damn, why did it still turn into a Lolita?! [Note: Garbage Traveler, you said youre not a loli-con!] Get out here, damn text; youre definitely behind this trickery! Master? Hows this form? Spark tilted her head. Its not bad. Luo Xi nodded with difficulty. He brought his attention back. 15 seconds had passed in the blink of an eye; his power armors overload mode lasted only a total of three minuteshe couldnt waste any more time. At the moment, Luo Xi felt as though his entire body had plunged into a smelting furnace, its pervasive heat entering his body then being reradiated into the armor. This resulted in the heat that was originally accumulating solely within his body to disperse, and under some unknown principle, the exterior of the armor gained Mutant Factor characteristics. Within Luo Xis field of vision, flames of black and red ignited along the arms and body of the power armor. Mutant Factor traitExplosive Combustion! Was this the power contained in the Mutant Factors within my body? [Friendly Reminder: Under the +300% all-around performance enhancement from your Furnace Cores overloading operation, Traveler, youve prematurely triggered an ability trait that normally requires reaching the third tier of Mutant Factor. But dont worry, Traveler, youre merely a conduit at the moment. Short-term usage wont impact the balance of the factors within you~] Luo Xi took a look around at the guards who were still stubbornly surrounding him. Under the high-pressure gaze of the power armors dark eyes, the guards scattered as if facing a frightful beast, their fear unreservedly displayed on their faces. [Ding! Fear Value against you +34] [Ding! Fear Value against you +50] So, you all can feel fear, too? Luo Xi raised his longsword. Searing strength surged from within, entering the blade. Luo Xi was astonished to find that the large cleaver, which was at most eighty centimeters, had its edges expand in the black and red flames, eventually becoming a flaming greatsword at least one and half meters long! He no longer hesitated and swung it in the air at the guards who were still testing him with their Skill. The flames slashed out, and in an instant, the high temperature that could no longer be contained within the armor erupted like a breached reservoir. The guards at the front were instantly charred by the sweep of the black and red flames, while the ones behind desperately dodged to the sides, narrowly escaping. [Ding! You have obtained the title: Butcher] [Description: This title is only awarded when you kill five or more enemies at once. Equipping this title, all those of a lower Tier or will than you, will feel intimidated by your presence at the first meeting.] Luo Xi raised his longsword again, but this time he did not continue attacking the guards. Instead, he thrust it violently towards the ground. Honestly, Luo Xi really wanted to slaughter all these guards. He knew, however, that killing them all would be of little use. After all, this was still inside Winter City, where new guards could easily be summoned, among them might be big shots like the Rat King. The external Origin Disaster blocked the escape route on Grey Stone Street. Within the city, from the bottom to the top, everyone was discriminating and rejecting Mutant Patients. He alone couldnt change anything, and even if he used his power armor to kill some of those who bullied them, he couldnt change the real plight of the Mutant Patients. The so-called redemption was just an empty, illusory dream. What Luo Xi could do at the moment was to provide them with some fleeting warmth. That was also the limit of what he could do right now. The rolling heat from where the sword pierced the ground spread around, reaching over two hundred meters nearby. Although it did not disperse the falling snow, it provided those shivering from cold with long-missed warmth. The thick snow melted, revealing steaming waterflows. Chapter 101 - 101 97 Lolita Housewife We Have One Each~【Two ?Chapter 101: Chapter 97 Lolita, Housewife, We Have One Each~Two in One_2 Chapter 101: Chapter 97 Lolita, Housewife, We Have One Each~Two in One_2 The chill dissipated briefly. For a moment, it was like spring! [Ding! Traveler, you have created a skill. Please name it] Rejuvenation. To use abilities in sync with the armor without any Omen inscriptions A guard finally realized and shouted loudly, Hes a Variant! Hes not a Sublimated Venerator! Stop him, go report to the higher-ups! The biggest difference between Mutated Transcenders and Sublimated Venerators is the interaction between the Yuan Su in their bodies and the outside world, as well as the absence of any Omen inscriptions when using abilities. Thus, the controller inside this armor was definitely a Variant! Allowing a Variant, who bore them ill will, to get their hands on such a lethal weaponif this person was not captured, who knows how many colleagues would be too scared to walk the streets. Luo Xi pulled out his long knife in one swift motion, glancing at the text floating before his eyes. [Current remaining time: 1:15 seconds] The power armor, activated under the load of the Furnace Core, could only operate for three minutesindeed very brief, almost rivalling that Ultraman from the M78 Nebula. He turned back to look at the people inside the shanty, then strode towards the exit. Regardless, today he had his fun. Stop him! A few fearless guards stood in his way. Luo Xi casually brushed past them, his hand wielding a cutlass made a casual swipe, and several more were gutted on the spot. Now, at last, no one dared to step forward to stop him. He quickly vanished at the end of the street. The guards looked at each other, their eyes filled with incredulous fear. No one had anticipated that such a temporary facility, meant only to supervise Variants, would today produce a killer in power armor. Watching the departing silhouette of the armor-clad warrior, Altes eyes revealed a strange light as he said, What exactly did that woman research back then? Uncomprehending, Lek looked over and asked, Master Alte, could this have nothing to do with you? He had already assumed that these were all arranged by the workshop master. The old workshop masters identity had always been shrouded in mystery, and Lek knew only that the old man had established the Deep Alley Workshop; everything else was quite unclear. But in Grey Stone Street, where the Snake and Rat Meeting reigned supremely, the Deep Alley Workshops ability to stand unshaken implied a definitely deep connection with the city leadership. The old man shook his head, Except for that about-to-rust shell I provided, everything else has nothing to do with me. Alte squinted his eyes and surveyed the surroundings. Many residents of Grey Stone Street were now breathing a sigh of relief under the warmth emanating from the ground; they were coming back to life. If the heat source had arrived even half a day later, then likely over eighty percent of these people would have frozen to death. He glanced again at the dozen or so guards lying dead at the doorway. In a soft voice, the old man sighed, That kid, does he ever consider the consequences of his actions? It was imaginable that after this violent incident, the entire Winter City would issue a city-wide manhunt for the user of that power armor. It was even possible that they would seal off the city until they found the person. Could they evade a city-wide manhunt? And that big thing, even if it could be operated again, how did the young man brazenly bring it inside? Could it be hidden well? Alte felt somewhat puzzled. The old man lifted his head and saw more and more members of the Winter Legion appearing in the distance, some walking towards them, presumably to inquire about the situation. The old man chuckled to himself, Well, if they can escape being discovered, that would be good, too. Now, Ill do what I can. [Ding! Free mission: Redemption (Part 1) completed] [Description: You have saved a mother and daughter from being beaten, altering their fate of death today] [Reward: Random talent draw chance x1 (WhiteBlue) has been credited, available for withdrawal at any time] Luo Xi watched the text flickering before him as he operated the mech, not stopping for a moment, and sprinted wildly through the streets until he reached a corner of an alleyway. He didnt know what consequences his actions might lead to, but regardless, today he had his fun. [Ding! Your Happiness Level +10] Indeed, true happiness cannot fool oneself. Is this not the joy of a player who treats this world as a game? Spark, the little Lolita, floated over and sat on Luo Xis head, with her slender legs colorful threads dangling in front of Luo Xis eyes, scattering specks of light. She said in a weary tone, Master, Spark is about to shut down again although I really do want Masters warm power If only it could always be infused into Spark Luo Xi: Why does it feel weirder and weirder the way this little elf talks? [Note: Traveler, shouldnt you be happy?] Whats there to be happy about! Spark yawned, Master until next time If theres a battle later, you must call Spark out Spark wants to die on the battlefield Bang! With the opening of the hatch and the disappearance of Sparks mimetic image, Luo Xis vision was once again enveloped in fog, and he could feel the cold from outside, seeing the snowy ground and the swirling snowflakes. Sear?h the n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Luo Xi picked a tattered garment from his bag to cover his head, then jumped out of the cockpit. He didnt care whether anyone was watching or not, he directly stowed the armor into the Dreamland bag and turned to run deep into the alley. Lets get away from here first. As he passed a certain corner, Luo Xi suddenly heard someone who seemed to be calling him. Come this way! Luo Xi turned his head. A tall woman with a pair of blue eyes, wrapped in a set of white clothes, watched him from the corner of the wall. Next to the woman was a young man holding his head, and two rabbit-eared mother and daughter who were huddled together and seemed to have fainted. Shopkeeper Lena? Wasnt she busy cooling down Cat Cat, how did she come over here? Actually, Luo Xi didnt really want to go back to the inn at the moment; if he led those devils there, he would become a sinner. Lena asked, You didnt show your face, did you? Luo Xi touched the garment on his face, I didnt show it no Thats good, you still have some sense, hurry and come here. Luo Xi walked over. This was a blind spot with no windows or doors, indeed a good place to hide. Chu Tian nudged Luo Xi with his arm and laughed, Brother Luo, keeping a low profile? Can I borrow that big guy of yours for a sec? Luo Xi: No borrowing. Chu Tian: Ten million for one use. Luo Xi: Well talk later. What are you talking about? Lena took out three scrolls from her bag, all unrolled, casting waves of light around them. Luo Xi noticed his own figure fading, his body felt lighter, and when walking on snow, he even left no footprints. Invisibility scroll, scent-masking scroll, light-body scroll, you have 10 minutes. Hurry back to the inn. . Ten minutes later. The group sneaked into the inn. Upon entering, Lena threw off her clothes and tossed them on the table. Whats going on with you guys? Lena scolded loudly, I asked you two to fetch some things, and next thing I know youve both disappeared. I heard there was an emergency at the temporary Variant assembly and went to take a look, only to find out youve done something big. You didnt run out to mess with me, did you? Luo Xi scratched his head. He couldnt very well say that he was initially planning to let loose and rewind time after dying, only to have those stupid guards turn on his armor and make a mess of things, allowing him to escape unscathed in the end. But Luo Xi also confirmed that the armors enhancement was indeed significant. Thinking about it, if someone was inherently stronger than him, and drove an armor with better performance, wouldnt they simply bulldoze over him? Hurry up and hide upstairs! Im going to go outside and check the situation again. As for these two Mutant Patients, figure out what to do with them yourselves! With that, Lena stormed out, leaving behind Chu Tian, Luo Xi, and a pair of rabbit-eared mother and daughter passed out on the floor. Brother Luo, you got the reward from the free mission too, right? Chu Tian didnt seem too concerned about the shopkeepers scolding; he whispered in Luo Xis ear, The mission reward is just that, but here we have a Lolita and a married woman, perfect for one each of us. What I mean is, we should first increase their favorability, and when both parties are willing, then we do that thing. Do you think Im the kind of bastard who would force others? Why are you giving me that look of disdain, Brother Luo - - Will resume updating at least 6,000 words a day starting tomorrow Chapter 102 - 102 98 Aina Brother has abducted other girls ?Chapter 102: Chapter 98: Aina: Brother has abducted other girls. Sister, come quickly! (><)_1 Chapter 102: Chapter 98: Aina: Brother has abducted other girls. Sister, come quickly! (><)_1 Goddamn Lolita and wife, you take one and Ill take the other. Luo Xi was utterly speechless because of Chu Tian. Label him evil, yet sometimes he acted with integrity, rushing to intervene when he saw the mother and daughter being attacked. Label him upright, but which decent person would utter such bullshit? The mother and daughter havent even woken up yet, and there he was discussing how to split the spoils. Are there really people with such complex and chaotic personalities in real life? A row of white text crossed Luo Xis vision. [Note: Hes merely a Cao Zei with a bit of conscience, arent you a loli-con Traveler as well? Didnt you also rush in without a second word when you saw the Little Lolita being hit?] Luo Xi: . That was me standing up for justice! Damn text, youre slandering me again, come out here and take a beating! Fortunately, others cant see his text commentary. Otherwise, how would he maintain his image. I wonder what Chu Tians text commentary is like? This mission triggered a temporary synchronization mode with a thirty-minute limit, and he still had about ten minutes left to freely converse with others. Moved by a thought, Luo Xi probed, Brother Chu, does your text incessantly mock your hobbies? Hm? Chu Tian, who was about to crouch down to check the state of the mother and daughter, heard Luo Xis question and looked up, asking, Incessant mocking? What do you mean? Luo Xi: .nothing. jFrom Chu Tians reaction, Luo Xi realized that his text probably didnt have the additional function of mocking. Why is my text so unique? Is it because of that??? In an instant, Luo Xi associated many things. His Dawn seemed just a tiny bit different from others. Chu Tian pointed at the fainted mother and daughter, saying, The shopkeeper stepped out, so what should we do now? The womans injuries seemed quite serious; although the guards held back, their relentless kicks still left her unconscious. It was unclear whether she had any broken bones. The daughter in the womans arms seemed to be in a better state, probably just frightened into fainting, I guess? Chu Tian said, The shopkeepers tone seemed to imply we should take care of the mother and daughter ourselves. Should we carry them upstairs first? The woman is a bit quick-tempered, but shes a good person. Luo Xi nodded in agreement, Shopkeeper Lena is indeed nice. As a pure Inner City resident and Skill Practioner sublimated person, even if it might be for Weier and her friends sakes, Shopkeeper Lena still took a huge risk by bringing them back. Truthfully, she could have completely ignored them, leaving them to survive or perish on their own outside. If Weier asked later, she could simply reply, They brought it upon themselves. From this, one can see that in this city, not everyone necessarily views Mutant Patients with hostility; some might be neutral, or even have some sympathy. Of course, this proportion might be very small. Suddenly, Luo Xi remembered a saying. The world was never just black and white. And so it is with people. Brother Luo, Ill leave the little one to you. While Luo Xi was reflecting, Chu Tian had already picked up the woman who had fainted on the ground and was moving her upstairs. Luo Xi: He looked at the Rabbit-eared Loli curled up on the ground. She was a girl even smaller than Aina. Even by this worlds standards, she must be only five or six years old, right? Lolita? (X) She should be considered a little girl! Do you really think Im a Loli-con? With a soft sigh, Luo Xi bent down to pick up the little girl and followed Chu Tian upstairs. His gaze briefly swept over the long rabbit ears on the girls head. Even so, rabbit ears feel quite cute? [Note: To be fair, indeed, does it mean you, Traveler, are about to advance from a loli-con to a] Shut up, damn text! Upon reaching the second floor, since Luo Xi did not know which room Chu Tian had entered, he decided to check his room first. Squeak The door of the room belonging to Weier and Aina suddenly opened. Aina, carrying a basin of water that had gone cold, walked out of the room step by step, with Little Wolf Girls long big tail dragging behind her to maintain balance. Then, Aina saw Luo Xi holding a Rabbit-eared Loli in his arms. Aina: ~~o(>_<)o~~!!! What happened?! How did Brother Luo Xi bring home an unknown girl in such a short time after Sister Laina fainted? In an instant, Little Wolf Girls tea gold eyes misted with a film of moisture. She turned her head and shouted, Sister Brother Luo Xi hes brought home an unknown little girl! Luo Xi: What? A weak and gentle voice came from the room. Weier walked out slowly from the room, dressed in pajamas, wearing a pair of cotton slippers with her cat tail dragging listlessly behind her, her face dreamy as if she had just woken from a nap. sea??h th n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Even though Luo Xis vision was blurred, he could still see the sickly flush on Cat Cats face. Clearly, she was a cat on the verge of collapse. Awakened under the shopkeepers care, but still not fully recovered, perhaps? Weier glanced at the girl Luo Xi was holding, her slender cat tail tensing a bit, as she frowned and said, Whose child is this? What were you doing earlier? Shopkeeper Lena was looking for you guys for a long time and couldnt find you, you didnt go out, did you? Chapter 103 - 103 98 Aina Brother has abducted other girls ?Chapter 103: Chapter 98 Aina: Brother has abducted other girls, sister come quickly! (ߣ)_2 Chapter 103: Chapter 98 Aina: Brother has abducted other girls, sister come quickly! (ߣ)_2 Uh Luo Xi said nonchalantly, We just went out for a stroll, dont worry, we both covered our faces, and we werent discovered. Weiers tail swished behind her. The young girl looked at Luo Xi suspiciously, Why do I feel like you guys did something bad on your outing? Luo Xi: Are cats instincts really so sharp? Luo Xi wondered whether he should tell Weier about the good deed he and Chu Tian had done. If he told her, wouldnt he end up angering this newly recovered Cat Cat to the point of lying down again? Thats not the point, Sister Weier! Aina put the basin aside and held her sisters arm, pointing at the little girl in Luo Xis arms. The Little Wolf Girl (ߣ;) said, Brother Luo Xi brought back a girl! Is he going to abandon us? Weiers eyebrows twitched, and she flicked her sisters head lightly, saying: What are you thinking? This child only looks to be a few years old; even if this guy were a pervert, he couldnt possibly do anything strange, and what do you mean abandon us? Have you actually started to see yourself as part of this perverts life? Luo Xi felt moved. It seems that Cat Cat still trusts my character. But why do I feel her comment is somewhat contradictory? Aina blinked cutely, But Brother Luo Xi is interested in Mutation traits, isnt he? Maybe he specifically brought this girl back to touch her? Weier: [Ding! Weiers suspicion towards you +10] Luo Xi: Cat Cat, dont be swayed by your sisters words! Cough. sea??h th N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. With no other choice, Luo Xi coughed and spoke the truth, This child was rescued by Chu Tian and me from a gathering place on Grey Stone Street inside the city. The guards almost killed her and her mother. We couldnt stand by, so we caused a commotion and then brought them back here. In the end, it was Shopkeeper Lena who cleaned up after us. Weier: ??? She should have been unconscious for just over an hour, right? Why did it feel like she hadnt woken up for several days? How did these guys manage to do so much major stuff in such a short time? [Ding! Weiers anger towards you +10] Weier, suppressing the twitch in her eyebrows, asked, Where is the childs mother? Luo Xi suddenly remembered something important. Oh no! The Little Lolitas mother was in a room with Chu Tian. That horny man wouldnt have lost control of his desires and made a move, right? He quickly walked a few steps forward and peeked into Chu Tians room. But he saw that Chu Tian was also hiding behind the door, looking like he was eavesdropping. Chu Tian: Luo Xi: Chu Tian grinned awkwardly and explained, Brother Luo, I thought Id get out after settling the people, but seeing that you were having a good chat with those two Beast Ear Lolitas, I didnt come out. You just wanted to eavesdrop, didnt you! Make way, I want to see who she is. Supported by Aina, Weier walked between them and went over to Chu Tians bed to examine the woman lying there. After pondering for a while, Cat Cat realized she didnt recognize the face. The population turnaround in Grey Stone Street was quite high; maybe she had just moved there recently? The injury looks severe; if not treated promptly, it could be life-threatening. Weier turned to Luo Xi, asking sternly, What exactly happened? Give me a full explanation. An explanation? These two troublemakers have simply come to cause chaos! An angry voice suddenly sounded from outside the room. Shopkeeper Lena stormed in from outside the door, flicking her golden locks and plopping herself down on a stool next to the table. She grabbed a water jug, gulped down a big mouthful, wiped her lips, and then with her gem-like blue eyes, scanned Luo Xi and Chu Tian. [Ding! Lenas anger towards you +50] The shopkeeper clicked her tongue, Well done, you two are trying to reach the heavens, huh? The army of the Mansion of the City Lord have been drawn out by you now, with people being arrested and pursued all over the streets. I bet they will be over here soon. A whole three thousand soldiers, including Third-tier sublimated people. I advise you to find a coffin to bury yourselves in to avoid the torture youd get if caught. After Lena finished in one breath, she gulped down another big mouthful of water, calming herself a bit, but her murderous gaze was undeniable. Weier: ??? Cat Cat felt dizzy. No, I must still be dreaming. Let me go back to bed and lie down for a while Ainas eyes also widened. What on earth did Brother Luo Xi do? Why does it sound sound so adventurous? Aina wants to go too!..(?????) [Ding! Weiers shock towards you +30] [Ding! Ainas favorability towards you +3] Leaving aside the two Lolitas feelings for the moment, hearing Shopkeeper Lenas words, Luo Xi realized he couldnt keep staying here. If the City Guard were to come searching, they might not find the power armor, but this inn could still possibly be discovered, putting Weier and Aina in danger. He needed to find a way to divert those searching for him elsewhere. Suddenly, Luo Xi had an idea that if he appeared far away from here, maybe that would shift the Guards focus. Chapter 104 - 104 98 Aina Brother has eloped with another ?Chapter 104: Chapter 98 Aina: Brother has eloped with another girl, Sister, come quick!(ߣ)_3 Chapter 104: Chapter 98 Aina: Brother has eloped with another girl, Sister, come quick!(ߣ)_3 He immediately got up, intending to leave: Im going out for a bit. However, he had only taken a few steps when Luo Xi felt a hand pulling his own. Weier looked at Luo Xi coldly and said, What are you planning to do now? To Shopkeeper Lena glanced at Luo Xi and said, Hes probably thinking of diverting attention so that my guesthouse can escape suspicion, thereby ensuring your safety, right? Luo Xi: As expected of the seasoned shopkeeper, she had seen right through his intentions. No way! Weier grabbed Luo Xis arm, and the girl leaned in like a cat, her crimson eyes seriously fixed on Luo Xi, said: Dont you think about doing something dangerous on your own again! Have you ever thought about how heartbroken Aina would be if you didnt come back Little Wolf Girl added, Aina would definitely cry herself to death But what about you, big sis? Aina turned her head to look at her own sister. Weier turned her head away and said, I wouldnt be sad over such a brainless guy. Chu Tian pondered as he looked at Luo Xi. Is this cat-eared Lolita a tsundere type? And the smaller one, is she the clingy type? And theyre the sister duo. As someone with similar tastes, brother Luo sure knows how to have fun. Alright. Shopkeeper Lena said wearily: Since Ive already helped you wipe the traces and brought you back, its not possible for me to stay out of it now. From now on, you all listen to my orders. Luo Xi was taken aback: Will there be trouble? Lena gave Luo Xi a look: You know theres trouble? Although I dont know how you managed to carry that power armor they mentioned with you, as long as the thing is not found here, there shouldnt be a big problem. Ive set up a secret chamber below the guesthouse, and now all of you need to stay there, without my permission, absolutely no leaving! Luo Xi: Do all skill practioners have a tradition of digging secret chambers? At that moment, a line of text flashed by. [Ding! This synchronization has ended.] [Traveler, welcome to visit again~] Luo Xi opened his eyes on the massage chair. It had been half an hour, and he wondered if his juniors would think he had fallen into a pit. Luo Xi checked his phone. Sure enough, Ai Xue had sent him several messages. He got up, stretched his waist, and walked back towards the hot pot restaurant. [Travelers, you begin to move following the shopkeepers instructions and restore everything upstairs to look as if it hadnt been used.] Sarch* The n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [You entered the underground chamber mentioned by Lena.] The movement in the Dream World was proceeding steadily. He hoped to avoid the search, or else Luo Xi would have to consider restarting this day. Although he had a great time, the price was a bit steep. In the hot pot restaurant, Ai Xue said with some concern, Did senior really fall into a pit? Chen Momo said indifferently, Maybe Luo Senior has hemorrhoids? Isnt there a saying that nine out of ten men do? Ai Xue: When Luo Xi finally arrived, late and apologizing to the two juniors for the wait, and sat down to eat hot pot, he found that both Ai Xue and Chen Momo were looking at him somewhat strangely. Ai Xue hesitated, Senior, my family has an elder who is a proctologist in the hospital. Do you want me to schedule an appointment for you? Hes quite expert in that area, and I promise youre in good hands with him. Luo Xi: ??? C Theres one more chapter today, coming later tonight. Chapter 105 - 105 99 Luo·Beast Ear Little Lolita Trap·Xi_1 ?Chapter 105: Chapter 99 LuoBeast Ear Little Lolita TrapXi_1 Chapter 105: Chapter 99 LuoBeast Ear Little Lolita TrapXi_1 Luo Xi spent quite a while explaining before he finally managed to verbally convince his two junior female classmates that he didnt have hemorrhoids. Of course, whether they truly believed Luo Xi in their hearts was another matter. After finishing off the remaining hotpot ingredients, the three returned to the cat caf to prepare for its regular business in the afternoon. Luo Xi still multitasked as usual. However, there didnt seem to be anything in the game that now needed his particular attention. Under Shopkeeper Lenas arrangement, they had all moved into the secret chamber beneath the inn. To prevent any sound from escaping and alerting the guards who might come to search, everyone held their breath and dared not utter a word. Weier and Aina found a corner and snuggled together to sleep. Luo Xi and Chu Tian also sat together quietly. It was rare for this chatterbox to be silent; had he gone AFK? Opposite them were the rabbit-eared mother and daughter, whose names were still unclear. After receiving a healing skill from Shopkeeper Lena, they were also subjected to a dizziness spell, which Lena said was to let them sleep a bit longer to avoid them waking up and causing trouble. After feeding the cats in the caf, Luo Xi idle and with nothing else to do, began to check the mission reward and two new talents he had acquired earlier. After hesitating, he equipped the title: Protector of the Beast-eared Lolita. A title that adds to favorability without any negative effects is something not to be wasted. Then Luo Xi looked at the mission rewards. [Random Talent Extraction x1 (WhiteBlue)] [Would you like to use it?] Luo Xi frowned. This reward draw for talents wouldnt also give him a negative talent, would it? That would be a real screw-over. Lets try it once. [Yes] [Drawing in progress (range WhiteBlue), please wait] [Ding! You have drawn the Talent: Sixth Sense (Green/Excellent)You can foresee dangerous events that will occur within the next five seconds. This talent has a cooldown of 10 seconds (five seconds is still too short, sigh).] [Ding! Its detected that you, Traveler, already have 8 talents, and your current talent slots are full. Do you want to replace a talent?] [Friendly Reminder: Under normal circumstances, an Otherworld Traveler can replace a talent once a month, and can only replace with talents that are of the same rarity level or lower than the newly acquired talents. Talents that have strengthened or changed the nature of the soul and body cannot be replaced (except for superior talents of the same kind).] Luo Xi: ! Talents can be replaced?! What does this mean? Right now, Luo Xi had a total of four negative talents on him. They are: Poor Man (Green/Excellent), Same Sex Repulsion (Blue/Rare), Troubled Fate (Purple/Epic), and Variant (Purple/Epic). The purple talents, Troubled Fate and Variant, along with the blue talent, Same Sex Repulsion, couldnt be replaced, but the Poor Man talent, being a green rarity, could be replaced! However, from the hints, it seems that talents that have already changed his essential nature, like Variant, cannot be replaced, right? Well, its still not bad to be able to replace one. Luo Xi had always found the Poor Man talent quite displeasing. Because of this talent, he had lost at least three to four thousand Yuan during this period. If this continued, he was bound to end up homeless, opening boxes on the streets for a living. [Do you want to replace the talent: Poor Man?] [Friendly Reminder: After replacement, this talent will be completely removed.] [Yes] [Talent replacement in progress] Luo Xi felt a twinge in his head. It seemed as if white, green, blue, purple, gold, and rainbow colors flashed before his eyes, with brightness levels ranging from low to high, with the colorful streamers almost filling his entire field of vision. Suddenly, a green orb flew into his sight, knocking the original green orb away, and then took over its place. [Ding! Talent replacement successful.] Luo Xis vision returned to normal as a result. Yay! Ill never be a Poor Man again! Ai Xue and Chen Momo watched as Luo Xi stared into the air and suddenly burst into a happy, silly smile all by himself. Chen Momo pointed to her own head and spoke in a low voice, Xiao Xue, is there really nothing wrong with your seniors mind? Probably Ai Xue wasnt so sure anymore. Why does seniors character feel quite different from before? Could someone be secretly changing him? Man or woman? Sarch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. A sense of crisis emerged in the girls heart. Luo Xi had calmed down by now. It was just a talent swap after all, nothing to fuss about. Ding A text message popped up on his phone. Luo Xi clicked to see that it was from the Dreamland Travel Bureau. [Mr. Luo Xi, you are hereby invited to attend the first Dreamland Travel Convention/Lecture in Haicheng Citys X District at Haicheng Stadium on October 1st. A special car will pick you up and drop you off. This convention will invite 8,000 known Dreamland Travelers amongst Xia countrys citizens. You do not have to worry about your personal identity being exposed, as this event will keep all attendees identities confidential.] [The convention will answer some of the questions that players want to know. If you wish to attend, please reply with 1, if you do not wish to attend or cannot attend due to other commitments, please reply with 0 or do not reply.] Hmm? Isnt October 1st the day after tomorrow? Haicheng Stadium isnt very far from Haicheng University, just half an hour away by subway. Going to listen might be worthwhile. Luo Xi was very curious about the origin of the game Dawn. Chapter 106 - 106 99 Luo·Beast Ear Little Lolita Trap·Xi_2 ?Chapter 106: Chapter 99 LuoBeast Ear Little Lolita TrapXi_2 Chapter 106: Chapter 99 LuoBeast Ear Little Lolita TrapXi_2 So Luo Xi replied with a [1]. The work for the rest of the day was for Luo Xi to continue being the store signboard, taking care of the cats and serving customers, and occasionally interacting with customers. Soon, the afternoon passed. Ai Xue ordered them takeout, and the three of them finished their meal at the cat cafe. They welcomed a group of customers in the evening, and after nine oclock, they closed the shop and finished work for the day. Underneath Wanxiang City, Ai Xue waved to Luo Xi and said, Senior, goodbye. Remember to come before nine tomorrow! The girl thought to herself that with the current shortage of staff, if they hired more employees in the future, they could open a cat cafes night session. She, the senior, and Mu Mu could then have some free time to go out and bond. Ok. Luo Xi responded and left the cat cafe. [Traveler, you are sitting quietly in a secret room] As Luo Xi walked home, he looked at the unchanging text before him and felt a rare moment of leisure. In the Dream world, during this period, Shopkeeper Lena had come down once to bring food, then went back up. The shopkeeper meant the guards were still searching nearby, and they should continue staying here, keeping silent. It was after Luo Xi got home and took a shower that the text finally changed. [Traveler, Shopkeeper Lena is asking you all to come upstairs. The guards that were searching nearby have all withdrawn, and this place has been cleared of suspicion of hiding the criminal.] [Aina asked softly, Can we talk now?] [Shopkeeper Lena nodded.] [Cheers from Aina echoed in the secret room.] [Little Wolf Girl patted her chest and said, That was so scary, with everyone not talking. If I couldnt hear Sisters breathing, Aina would have been frightened to death. And this Uncle Chu Tian is really strange, its rare that he hasnt said a word from the afternoon until now.] [Traveler, you glanced at Chu Tian and patted his shoulder.] [Chu Tian just gave you a light look.] Luo Xi frowned. Still afk? Could it be that he cant log in due to some matter? But after todays game update, the text could be projected before his eyes. He should have been able to manage both playing the game and doing other things without issue. [Aina said to you: Brother Luo Xi, Aina and Sister are going upstairs first. You guys should hurry up too.] [Yeah, coming soon.] [Traveler, you played with Chu Tians head a bit and then patted his face.] [After confirming the other party couldnt log in for a while, you went to pick up the still sleeping rabbit-eared mother and daughter from the ground, ready to go upstairs.] [At that moment, Chu Tian suddenly said, Brother Luo, Ive encountered some player hunters over on my side. Be careful, and in the future, remember not to reveal your identity. There are always some people in this world who are thoroughly bad, always looking for shortcuts, doing things that harm others for their own benefit.] Luo Xi was taken aback. [Traveler, you asked: Player hunters? What is that?] [Chu Tian said: I only found out about it today too. By killing a player in real life, you can gain part of that players Dreamland backpack inheritance and extract one of their talents. Ive been a bit high-profile lately, and I was recognized by another player at noon. That guy ambushed me when I was off guard. But he didnt get off easy either, I relied on my speed to dodge a fatal blow, and then I gave him a slash in return.] Sear?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Because I lost too much blood, Ive only just woken up in the hospital ICU.] Luo Xi: No wonder Chu Tian had been so unusually quiet in the afternoon. If the physical body passed out, naturally he couldnt control his character. Without a players control, Dream world characters can only maintain the most basic interactions. [Traveler, you asked: What about that player hunter?] [Chu Tian said: Dont know, hes probably still alive. I only slashed his chest, didnt hit a vital spot, forget about it. Brother Luo, be more careful in the future. I plan not to go out for a while. Oh right, hurry up and give me that big sister with the rabbit ears. We agreed Lolitas yours, big sisters mine.] Luo Xi: This guy is talking so seriously, almost died in reality, and still thinking about those unnecessary things. Truly embodying the spirit of a horny man to the end. [Traveler, you ignored Chu Tian, taking the mother and daughter upstairs together.] [Arriving on the first floor, you found the air filled with the scent of spices and meat being stewed together, the aroma of the meat intensifying your hunger.] [Shopkeeper Lena asked you to put the mother and daughter on the ground, and she cast a waking Skill on both of them.] [The woman and her daughter quickly woke up.] [Little Lolita with rabbit ears opened her eyes and shyly hid in her mothers arms.] [The woman was initially afraid as well, but upon seeing Chu Tian, she immediately showed a grateful expression. Kneeling, she kept bowing with tears and said: Thank you, thank you for saving us. I thought I was afraid my daughter and I were going to die there, thank you] [Chu Tian hurriedly helped the woman up, saying, Theres no need for such a grand gesture, and the real savior is actually Brother Luo here. And, of course, this dog beautiful shop owner, who took us all in.] [Chu Tian pointed at you, then at Shopkeeper Lena.] [Shopkeeper Lenas lips curved slightly as she quietly went over to the Restaurant side.] [Traveler, you felt Chu Tian did have some conscience, but not much.] [The woman turned her head to look at you, about to kneel again.] [Traveler, you quickly went up to stop her.] Chapter 107 - 107 99 Luo·Beast Ear Little Lolita Trap·Xi_3 ?Chapter 107: Chapter 99 LuoBeast Ear Little Lolita TrapXi_3 Chapter 107: Chapter 99 LuoBeast Ear Little Lolita TrapXi_3 [After a bout of sobbing, the woman wiped her tears and introduced, My name is Daisy, this is my daughter Winnie. Winnie, say hello to the big brothers and thank them.] [The rabbit-eared little Lolita timidly poked her head out and said Thank you, big brothers.] [Ding! Talent: Intimacy with Small Animals has been triggered.] [Ding! Winnies favorability towards you +50.] [Ding! Title: Protector of Beast-Ear Lolitas has been triggered.] [Ding!

Are you interested in creating a paradise full of only beast-ear Lolitas? ~] Luo Xi: Sear?h the n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Chu Tian rubbed his palms together, somewhat embarrassed as he asked, Um, Miss Daisy, may I ask if you have a husband?] [The woman was startled, then shook her head, My husband died in the mines two years ago.] [Traveler, you saw Chu Tians eyes light up.] Hehe! At Hang First Peoples Hospital, Chu Tian, lying on an intensive care bed, moved excitedly and made a strange noise, startling the nurse who was making her rounds. The nurse looked bewilderedly at the young man on the bed. They said when he was brought in at noon, his body covered in blood, the emergency doctors declared he had lost too much blood for them to do anything. Yet, in the end, he was miraculously revived. [Traveler, you didnt bother with that Cao Zei and walked into the inns ground-floor restaurant, where there was a large round table that could seat about ten people.] [Aina was perched on her stool, (??`?) drooling over the pot of stewed pigs trotters in the center of the table. Her little Lolita mouth was wet with drool, her tea-gold eyes shimmering as she held a fork and chopsticks in her hand.] [Seeing you come in, Aina swallowed her drool and waved at you, Brother Luo Xi, come over quick. Once everyones here we can start eating. Im so hungry right now I can hardly wait!] [Traveler, you heard Ainas call and were about to head over when you caught a gaze.] [You turned around and saw Cat Cat leaning against the kitchen door. She approached, her light red eyes fixed on you as she asked, How does it feel to be a hero? Killed a dozen guards? Was it exhilarating?] [Traveler, you didnt know how to respond.] [You said, It was okay, I guess?] [Okay my foot!] [Weier moved closer to you, her cat ears pricked up and her tail straight out. She said angrily, Ive been wanting to tell you, you made my whole afternoon miserable. I havent been able to sleep, my thoughts all in a whirl. If you dare to sneak out and stir up trouble again, dont blame me for turning on you!] [Note: The tsundere Cat Cat can be quite cute when expressing her worry for someone~] [Traveler, you said, I understand now.] Luo Xi thought to himself, I only said I understand now, but it doesnt mean Ill do it. [Traveler, you noticed Weier so close, and you reached out to pat her on the head.] [Weier immediately shrank back like a cat, giving you a glare before walking over to sit beside Aina.] [Traveler, you also walked over, sitting beside Weier.] [Cat Cat puzzled, Why are you sitting next to me? There are plenty of other seats.] [Should I sit next to Aina then?] [You might as well sit here] Chapter 108 - 108 100 Aina Ill let you touch my tail next ?Chapter 108: Chapter 100: Aina, Ill let you touch my tail next time, brother~_1 Chapter 108: Chapter 100: Aina, Ill let you touch my tail next time, brother~_1 [Traveler, you find that teasing this tsundere cat-eared girl is quite entertaining.] [However, Weier, although allowing you to sit by her side, is still wary of you. Her cat tail deliberately shifts to the side closer to Aina, preventing you from taking advantage of her unawares.] [This cant help but make you feel a bit heartbroken.] [Are you the type of person who would touch people without their consent?] [This is distrust in you!] Luo Xi: Damn, do I have such an active inner monologue? Damn text, dont go ad-libbing on me! [Note: Garbage traveler, dont deny it, this is your subconscious monologue!] [Shopkeeper Lena finally brought all the meals to the table.] [She went to the inns main hall to call over Chu Tian, who was chatting outside, as well as the bunny-eared mother and daughter duo, and placed a basin of warm water on a stool for you all to wash your hands.] [Daisy, wiping the tear stains from her face, walked in with Chu Tian.] [Traveler, you notice that bunny-eared Daisy seems to have become quite chummy with Chu Tian.] [The look in Daisys eyes toward Chu Tian is one of admiration, with a slight flush still on her cheeks, unabashedly displaying the charm of a mature woman in her thirties. You guess Chu Tian must have said something peculiar to her, right?] Luo Xi: ??! Has he nearly conquered the bunny-eared big sister in such a short time? Could Chu Tian actually be the reincarnation of Cao Zei? [Little bunny loli Winnie followed behind the two, entering the restaurant door timidly. She uneasily scanned the room and then saw you. Moments later, she shyly looked down with her black pupils.] [Ding! Winnies favorability toward you +3] [Ding! Current favorability from Winnie toward you: 63 (Looks like a very kind stranger brother)] [Description: Although she has never seen you before, she feels that you look very kind, and she thinks you might be someone she can trust.] [Note: Suspicious pervert traveler, you dont seem much better, huh~] No way! But this talent and title for increasing favorability are indeed not bad. Its just that the target is a bit off. In the Dream world, favorability does not directly represent stance, but it can affect the impression the other party has of you. The higher the favorability, the greater the possibility of a significant shift in both peoples relationship.

For example, if he now wanted to abduct Aina, he would just need Cat Cats consent, and then Aina would gleefully follow him with her big tail, without him ever having to abduct her himself. [Note: In the end, garbage traveler, you just want to abduct Little Aina and Cat Cat, dont you? Traveler, you and Chu Tian really are cut from the same cloth~] Luo Xi: He ignored the text and continued to read on. [Chu Tian casually took a seat on a round stool. He patted the seat next to him, signaling for Daisy and her daughter to sit down.] [Daisy, looking at the array of delicious food on the table, hesitated for a while and then shook her head, Can I really sit at such a good spot and eat such expensive-looking food? Winnie and I are fine with just having sweet potatoes to fill our stomachs. We dont have the money to pay for this food.] [The little bunny loli Winnie tiptoed and sneakily glanced at the table.] [A hint of longing flashed in her eyes, but upon hearing her mothers words, Winnie obediently lowered her head, no longer gazing at the food on the table.] [Sweet potatoes? Thats fodder in the city.] [Shopkeeper Lena glanced at them and said, Just sit wherever and eat whatever. Since I chose to take you in, I wont neglect you. However, this will be only for this time. My mood earlier today was rather good, so this meal is an exception, on the house. If you want to eat in the future, I wont make it for you. Its too troublesome.] [After saying this, Shopkeeper Lena nodded to Weier, telling her to eat more to nourish her body, then glared at you and Chu Tian.] [Her message was clear: because of her daughters teacher, she was being generous this time. But no exceptions in the future; if any variant is brought here again, she wont be as kind as today.] [Seeing Daisy still standing there, tense and nervous, Weier spoke up: Its okay, Auntie Daisy, although Sister Laina is an Inner City resident, shes actually very nice.] [Daisy looked at the cat ears on Weiers head and asked, Little sister, are you also residents of Grey Stone Street?] [Weier laughed gently and said, Yes, my name is Weier, this is my sister Aina, and him, Luo Xi, we all come from Grey Stone Street.] [Aina, noncommittally, shifted the wolf ears on her head.] [Traveler, you took off the hat on your head, signifying your own Variant status.] [Seeing so many Mutant Patients here, Daisy felt a lot more at ease and took a seat next to Chu Tian.] [Upon seeing her mother and Chu Tian sit down, bunny loli Winnie wanted to sit by her mother but glanced at you again. She stood there for a few seconds, then tiptoed to the empty spot on your right.] [In a soft voice, Winnie asked, Brother, can I sit here?] [Of course, you can. You, the Traveler said.] [Winnie then inquired, Was that very big thing being controlled by brother? Why did brother save us?] [Traveler, you paused for a moment, then realized the rabbit-eared loli was referring to when you controlled the powered armor to save them at noon.] [After thinking for a moment, you said, I just couldnt stand idly by.] Chapter 109 - 109 100 Aina Ill let you touch my tail next ?Chapter 109: Chapter 100: Aina, Ill let you touch my tail next time, brother~_2 Chapter 109: Chapter 100: Aina, Ill let you touch my tail next time, brother~_2 [But isnt such a thing very common in this world?] [The rabbit-eared little lolita said somewhat desolately, Dad was said to have been beaten to death by a foreman at the mine two years ago. According to Dads coworkers, he was killed just because he forgot to deliver something to the foreman.] [At that time, Dads coworkers were all watching from the sidelines, no one dared to help, and those who had conflicts with my father were even snickering, just like when Mom and I were beaten by those bad guys today.] [Traveler, you patted the little lolitas head and stealthily petted her long rabbit ears, whispering softly, Common, but that doesnt make it right.] [Just because its always been that way, does it mean its correct?] [Ding! Your Happiness Level +10] [Ding! Winnies Favorability towards you +10] [Ding! Weiers Favorability towards you +15] [Traveler, you suddenly looked back] [You saw Cat Cat with a calm expression on her face] [Weiers snow-white brows twitched slightly as she looked at you and said, Pervert, why are you looking at me?] [Ding! Your Happiness Level +20] [Traveler, a smile appeared on your lips, Cat Cat certainly didnt expect she had already revealed the emotional fluctuations in her heart] Luo Xi tucked away the smile at the corner of his mouth. It seemed that the strategy to win over this tsundere Cat Lady required a more indirect approach. [Stare] [Ainas gaze moved past the body of her elder sister, her tea-gold wolf eyes cautiously watching the much smaller girls face.] [Winnie noticed this gaze and a puzzled look appeared on her face.] [Brother, thank you for saving me and Mom today.] [The rabbit-eared little lolita jumped down from the stool, bowed to you, and then ran back to her mothers side.] [Then Aina got off the stool and casually sat down to your right.] [Weier looked confused, Aina, why did you change seats?] [Aina tilted her head and smiled, Sitting next to Brother Luo Xi is warmer, Sister, didnt you know?] [Traveler, you silently patted your own hat.] [Yuan Su Furnace Core (In Silence)] [Description: Due to excessive operation causing overheating of the rune structure, it has entered a day-long cooling state] [The hat has fallen into silence for now, so Aina wouldnt feel the warmth she mentioned.] [Aina moved a bit closer to you.] [Her big tail behind her started swaying non-stop below your eyes, and her wolf ears moved slightly.] [You realized, this little wolf-eared lolita must be doing it on purpose!] [Traveler, you found it hard to restrain your hands.] [It was just like when a pet runs in front of you seeking affection, how could any normal person resist?] [Before the meal, Traveler, would you like to pet her for a bit? To cultivate your sentiment?] Luo Xi: [Yes] [You glanced at Cat Cat next to you and quietly held Ainas tail with your right hand. Ainas body moved slightly, her wolf ears perked up, and her face turned a bit red.] [Traveler, you felt the fluffy smoothness of the big tail, feeling both happy and excited.] [After all, was there anything more thrilling than secretly petting the younger sisters tail right next to her older sister with beast ears?] [Note: Yes, there is! That would be petting the sisters tail and ears in front of her younger sibling~] Luo Xi: Damn text, you really know how to play. [Mmm~] [Maybe you exerted a little too much force, Aina let out a soft hum.] [In an instant, Weiers suspicious gaze shot over.] [By then, you had already let go of her tail, picked up a bowl, and were ready to eat.] [Ding! Your Happiness Level +50] [Shopkeeper Lena came out of the kitchen with a big pot of rice.] [Im treating everyone today, please eat your fill. If there isnt enough rice, theres more in the kitchen.] [Traveler, you filled up a big bowl with rice and started eating the dishes on the table.] [Shopkeeper Lenas cooking skills were really good, too. The braised pigs trotters were fragrant, salty, soft, and tender. Once Aina tried a piece, she couldnt stop herself and even the seven or eight vegetarian dishes seemed chef-level] [The food inside Winter City was indeed much better than on Grey Stone Street] [After all, even if you had the money on Grey Stone Street, you couldnt buy decent ingredients. No matter how good Weiers cooking was, its like the saying goes: An able woman cant cook without rice.] [Even the normally reserved Cat Cat couldnt care less about maintaining her image as she gnawed on a pigs trotter, which goes to show how rare meat was for them] [Traveler, you seem quite happy eating as well] [Your Satiation Level +30] [Traveler, you hear the Little Wolf Girl whispering beside you, Brother Luo Xi, I want to ask you something. Is it my tail thats comfortable, or that rabbit little sisters long ears?] [Traveler, you realize that this Little Wolf Girl might be feeling dissatisfied because she saw you petting someone elses head?] [But this question is simple] [You say, Of course its yours, Aina.] [Ding! Ainas Favorability towards you +5] [The Little Wolf Girl wags her tail contentedly, saying, Then next time Aina will let Brother you pet her too~ Just wish Brother youd use a little less strength, it was a tiny bit painful just now~] [Ding! Your Happiness Level +10] [You two] [Traveler, you suddenly realize that Weier had vanished from your left side] [Danger!] [You slowly turn your head to the right] [Cat Cats exquisite face is resting right between you and Aina, her light red eyes glaring at you with malice] [I knew I shouldnt have left a pervert like you alone with AinaMphYou] [Traveler, seizing the moment before Cat Cat could finish her sentence, you grab a piece of pigs trotter and stuff it into her mouth] [You say earnestly, Dont talk while eating, and have more meat. Look at you, almost an adult but still the size of a middle schooler.] [Ding! Weiers Anger Value towards you +10] [To prevent getting hit by Cat Cat, Traveler, you excuse yourself to get something and leave your seat, while pressing the still unaware Weier into your spot] Lena watched all this with a desire to laugh. The little gestures Luo Xi made towards Aina were clearly visible to her from across the table. She thought about intervening, but then thought better of it. The wolf girl Aina clearly trusted this young man more than she did. Interest in Mutation features was scarce in this world; to most people, Mutation features were no different than curses that brought disaster, as they were indeed born from such factors. While Lena herself didnt exactly dislike them, she certainly didnt have a great deal of fondness for them either. She glanced again at the young man named Chu Tian who was chatting furiously with the rabbit Variant Daisy, causing her to giggle repeatedly, and showed a strange expression. These two seemed to be acquaintances from the same hometown? Luo Xi was also a Mutant Patient, and setting aside his peculiar tastes for now, why did Chu Tian show such a strong liking for Variants? Unfathomable. Nevertheless, from the actions of these two young men today, although they behaved in a way that left her speechless and forced her to take risks to cover for them, it was also evident that both were of decent character. How many people would charge into battle without a thought for their own safety, just for the life and death of a Variant? Having such people beside her teachers daughter was somewhat reassuring for Lena if ever the girl left Winter City in the future. [Ding! Lenas Favorability towards you +10] Sear?h the N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Luo Xi: ? He had only stepped out to the kitchen for a moment; why had Lenas Favorability towards him suddenly increased by 10 points? [Shopkeeper Lena says to Cat Cat, Weier, eat more. The erosion of the factor in your body has deepened, not by much, but its still deeper. If you dont keep yourself healthy, its going to erode further quickly.] [Also, about tonight, I still have to go check the situation; who knows if theyll open for business.] [Weier nods, Okay.] [Traveler, you ponder for a moment, recalling that tonight you were supposed to go to the black market to look for information] [But after the commotion you and Chu Tian caused, will the black market even be open tonight?] - Chapter tonight will be around the same time as yesterday Chapter 110 - 110 101 Raising a Beast Eared Girl in Real ?Chapter 110: Chapter 101: Raising a Beast Eared Girl in Real Life? Do You, Traveler, Have the Mentality to Go to Jail?_1 Chapter 110: Chapter 101: Raising a Beast Eared Girl in Real Life? Do You, Traveler, Have the Mentality to Go to Jail?_1 Luo Xi looked at the time. It was now a little past eleven at night. Considering that the Dream Worlds time generally corresponds to the actual day, even if the black market were to open tonight, it would still be a wait of an hour or two. The text was still displaying the conversation of everyone at the moment. [Aina, upon hearing what Shopkeeper Lena had said, sensitively picked up on the discord in her words.] [The Little Wolf Girl asked, Sister, what are you talking about? What matter tonight? Is there something youre trying to hide from Aina?] [Traveler, you overheard the sound of a bowl clinking at Shopkeeper Lenas side.] [The Shopkeeper was regretting her careless slip of the tongue.] [Weier paused for a moment, then shook her head, Its nothing.] [Aina thinks you all seem very suspicious.] sea??h th N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Aina puffed out her cheeks, and seeing that Weier didnt answer her, she lowered her head and took a big bite of her rice. Then, she turned her head toward you, the Traveler, and blinked her tea gold-colored eyes; her Big Tail swishing as she motioned for you, the Traveler, to say something.] [Traveler, you didnt respond to Ainas anticipation. You first glanced at Cat Cat, noticing that she also seemed quite troubled.] [The Little Wolf Girl, seeing that none of you wanted to answer her, let her face fall and said, Aina knows shes nothing but a useless burden. If you sisters have something important to do, you dont have to avoid telling Aina. She will wait here for you to return and wont cause any trouble.] [The Restaurant suddenly fell silent, and even Chu Tian, who was obsessively flirting with the rabbit-ear lady, stopped speaking.] [Weier let out a gentle sigh, Forget it, I promised you before that your sister would never leave secretly. And Aina, you are certainly not a burden. Dont say that again in the future.] [Cat Cat hugged her sister and softly said, Tonight, we are planning to go to the black market to look for clues about our mother. That place is very dangerous, so we initially didnt want to tell you, Aina.] [Clues about mother?] [The Little Wolf Girls face lit up with hope, Is it possible that our mother is still alive?] [Over the past three years, Aina had hoped countless times to wake up and see her mothers face.] [Sister doesnt know.] [Weier shook her head, But if mom is still alive, she must have been detained by something and therefore couldnt come back to see us. Thats what we want to go there and find out tonight.] [Aina also wants to go Aina will wait for your return.] [The Little Wolf Girl nodded emphatically.] [Traveler, you once again marveled at the understanding nature of this Little Wolf Girl.] [You even contemplated having such an obedient and sensible Beast-Eared Little Lolita in your own world~] [Note: Traveler, there are no police uncles in the Dream World, but it would be different in your world, are you ready to go to an orange place?] Luo Xi: Its not a big problem. They cant even leave Winter City right now, so whats the point in worrying about such far-fetched things. Lets wait until theres a day when he can actually take Weier, Aina, and the others out. [Traveler, you are prepared for the consequences.] Fxxk, whos prepared for anything? And what kind of consequences, you better explain yourself! The text ignored Luo Xis internal protest. [Traveler, after eating tonights dinner, you went upstairs on Shopkeeper Lenas arrangement, in order to avoid turning on lights at night and revealing that there were people in the inn, she had removed all the lighting devices from the rooms.] [She arranged you and Chu Tian in the same room, Weier and Aina still shared a room, and the newcomer rabbit-eared mother and daughter shared another room.] [Traveler, just when you thought you were going to listen to Chu Tians endless chatter again, you saw him sitting on a stool, his eyes vacant, clearly in a Logout state.] Uh. Did the real Chu Tian faint again? That guy is in the ICU in real life, but still dreams of romancing a Beast-Eared Wife; what an idealist young man he is not really. Luo Xi glanced at the time. 11:30. He should be able to safely get through today, right? Although there were some hitches along the way, the current situation didnt look too bad, they had found a place to stay in the Inner City and had companions. The guards hadnt found them. So there was no need to rewind time. [Would you like to accelerate time?] [Yes] x30. After what felt like two minutes, the time had passed midnight. This also meant that Luo Xi could no longer rewind to change what happened yesterday. The text suddenly increased by several lines. [Ding! Traveler, the epic quest: Aftermath of the Locust Disaster Lakast is now complete.] [Description: Traveler, you have successfully survived the aftermath of the Locust Disaster Lakast without dying even once. Although you used the protection of the Divine Tree barrier, sometimes external forces are also a part of strength.] [Rewards have been issued: Talent effect upgrade opportunity x1, random talent extraction chance x1.] Has the locust plague disappeared? [Traveler, you got up and went to the window, gently prying open a crack. Under the silvery Glow, the rampaging black locusts outside indeed had silently vanished, the golden and silvery Glows outside echoing each other.] Getting a reward for an epic quest just like that sure feels great. Luo Xi started looking at the newly awarded Reward. [Random talent extraction chance x1 (WhitePurple Color)] [Friendly Reminder: In the current talent pool, the chances of drawing a white talent are 60%, a green talent 30%, a blue talent 8%, and a Purple Color talent 2%.] Chapter 111 - 111 101 Raising a Beast Eared Girl in Real ?Chapter 111: Chapter 101: Raising a Beast Eared Girl in Real Life? Do You, Traveler, Have the Mentality to Go to Jail?_2 Chapter 111: Chapter 101: Raising a Beast Eared Girl in Real Life? Do You, Traveler, Have the Mentality to Go to Jail?_2 Luo Xi: ??? The probability is excessively high. It seemed that his previous encounter with a green talent was already considered lucky? He checked another Reward. [Talent Effect Upgrade x1 (WhitePurple)] [Description: Can be used to upgrade a talent from (white to purple)] [Kind Reminder: The higher the level of the talent, the smaller the increase brought by the talent upgrade. Even with multiple uses of this class of talent effect upgrade, it cannot elevate a purple talent to a golden legendary level.] Luo Xis hands itched. Time for a single draw. [Would you like to draw?] [Yes] [Ding! Drawing in progress for talents within the (WhitePurple) range, please wait] [Ding! Youve drawn the Talent: Sage (Green/Excellent)Your Intelligence +10 (Youre a bit smarter than the average person)] Luo Xi: . As expected. After all, the combined probability for blue and purple is only about 10%. He should be pleased not to have drawn an empty white cloud. Moreover, he had used up all his talent substitution chances for the month. He wondered if there were other ways to increase the number of substitutions. [Ding! Its detected that you, Traveler, are temporarily unable to replace your talent. Would you like to save the talent as a Talent Crystal?] Theres a saving option? A thought struck Luo Xi. Did that mean that talents could also be used for selling or trading materials? [Yes] [Suddenly, a green glow gathered in your hand, eventually turning into a green crystal the size of a fist.] [Talent Crystal: Sage (Green/Excellent)] [Description: A crystal formed from an unused talent] [Would you like to withdraw the Talent Crystal?] [Yes] In Luo Xis hand, a flash of white light appeared, and the crystalline body described in the text manifested. The crystal was a perfect hexahedron. Under the light, its green was unsettling. Luo Xi stuffed it back into his pack. He decided to save the other talent upgrade opportunity for later. It seemed wasteful to use it on anything less than a purple talent. Sarch* The n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. After organizing his gains, Luo Xi continued to read the text. [Traveler, the door to your room is gently pushed open.] [Shopkeeper Lena entered, carrying a dimly lit lamp.] [I checked, and the black market is open. Get ready, she said.] [After speaking, the shopkeeper left. You looked at Chu Tian, who sat across on a stool, lost in thought. After pondering for a moment, Traveler, you moved him to the bed.] [When you came out of the room, Weier was already standing in the hallway. Cat Cats face still had a sickly blush, clearly not yet recovered.] [Cat Cat asked you, Wheres that talkative man?] [Traveler, you replied, Hes dead asleep, cant wake him for now.] [Weier nodded, Thats good, one less person, one less target.] [Put all these clothes and hats on.] [Shopkeeper Lena came out of a room, giving you and Weier each a set of thick black clothing, complete with a mask and a hat that could completely cover the head.] [The shopkeeper said, The black market over there wont check the identities of customers. You just need to pay an entry fee to come and go as you please.] [Traveler, you asked, Isnt wearing such strange clothes more suspicious?] [Lena replied, Everyone dresses like that. If you dont wear it, thats the suspicious behavior. The transactions in the black market usually cant withstand scrutiny. Sometimes, even Essence weapons are for sale, so no one dares to expose their true identity in the black market. Over time, its become an unspoken rule that one doesnt enter the black market without a disguise. There are two hard truths in the black market: one is money and the other is the power to keep that money.] [Weier rubbed her temples, her voice tinged with fatigue as she said, Can we set off now?] Hmm, once you guys change clothes, we can go, but Shopkeeper Lena looked at Weier with some concern. Your body obviously hasnt recovered yet, are you sure you want to come with us? Weier firmly said, I can still walk. I cant let you risk yourselves for news of my mother while I sit back and reap the benefits. Traveler, you sigh in admiration of this little Cat Ladys commendable values. Want to pet~ Note: Traveler, youre wicked, oh wait, this lawful Cat Eared Lolita isnt offensive, but do you think the police uncle would believe your words? Luo Xi: Ignored as usual, he continued to page down. Lena nodded in agreement, Then come down once youve changed. Traveler, you and Weier each returned to your rooms to change clothes. After coming out, you exchanged glances in the corridor. You look Weier snorted lightly, holding back a laugh, People who dont know any better would be scared to death if they met you on a night walk, right? Traveler, you glanced at the ghastly mask of Cat Cat. How can she have the nerve to criticize you? Traveler, you asked, How is Aina doing? Ive already told her were leaving. Weier lifted her head, staring at you through the dark eye holes of her mask. Her crisp voice, somewhat muffled by the mask, said sternly, Let me warn you again, you pervert. Aina is still young; she just turned 13 last month. Even though she likes you, it doesnt give you a reason to lay hands on her. If I cant come back later, you better not. Weier stopped speaking. Traveler, you innocently said, But I only touched Ainas tail. Note: Traveler, good explanation, take him away! Weier punched you lightly, .In any case, touching anywhere is not allowed. Youre a grown man, looking to be twenty already, how can you be so shameless to make a move on a teenager? If I didnt trust your character, Id suspect your intentions for bringing back Winnie and the others. Ding! Your Happiness Level -20 But its okay, you can secretly pet~ Presumably, Aina would cooperate with you too, right? The more you think about it, the more exciting it seems. Note: Suspicious pervert Traveler, its just like you, youre getting weirder and weirder. Weier seemed to sense your unsavory thoughts and lightly kicked you again. Lets get going. You descended from upstairs as Shopkeeper Lena waited by the door. Once everyone was there, she opened the door and checked outside. After confirming it was safe outside, Lena used a few scrolls on you, and you took off, braving the chilling cold, following Lena deeper into the Inner City. You spent about fifteen minutes traversing several blocks without leaving any tracks, eventually arriving at a desolate residential area. A person wearing a demon mask was guarding an alley entrance. When he saw you wanting to enter, he gestured by rubbing his fingers together for money. Lena flicked a gold coin toward him, Keep the change. The man picked up the coin, examined it, and sighed, Guest, this isnt enough. You know what happened today, right? The Dongze Black Market is taking a big risk by opening in these turbulent times. The entry fee has gone up to six silver coins per person. You wouldnt want to be thrown out halfway through your visit, would you? Inner City, a grand and opulent manor. Rat King Nos stood in the snow, watching the snowflakes fall from the sky, a strange look in his eyes. The appearance of premonitions of a snow disaster was indeed beyond his expectations. But this could be a tremendous opportunity. A premonition doesnt necessarily mean the snow disaster itself will come. Just like a locust disaster, it might just be a phenomenon created by a slight overflow of the snow disasters power. If he gambled right on that day, not only could he master the True Canon of the Winter Divine Tree, but he could also harness the power of the snow disaster for himself using the True Canon. The Rat King looked at the black and red wooden box on his table, a smile on his lips, Little Weier, Ill give you three more days of freedom. Your uncle wont stop you from doing anything. Can you defy the destiny thats coming for you? C C Feeling a bit dizzy, I might have been hit. Drank some cold medicine and amoxicillin, hopefully Ill wake up tomorrow feeling refreshed Chapter 112 - 112 102 Can the Proud Cat be Shy _1 ?Chapter 112: Chapter 102: Can the Proud Cat be Shy? _1 Chapter 112: Chapter 102: Can the Proud Cat be Shy? _1 [Ive never heard of an entrance fee increase for the black market.]] [Shopkeeper Lenas voice came through the mask, sounding muffled, Is this a rule you made up yourself? Collecting extra fees to line your own pockets?]] [The doorman said indifferently, Anyway, come in or not.]] [In the end, Shopkeeper Lena still took out a gold coin and threw it over, Give me two silver coins change.]] [The doorman pinched the gold coin and laughed, Didnt you say no need for change?]] [Lenas voice was eerie, Dont push your luck. Youre just a doorman; arent you afraid youll mess with the wrong people?]] []] [The doorman suddenly fell silent, he fished out two silver coins from his pocket and tossed them casually.] [Lena caught the silver coins and said to you, Lets go.]] [Traveler, you followed behind Lena as she walked into the alley.] [Shopkeeper Lena snorted, Dunno where that doorman got his confidence. If hed run into some big shots and made them unhappy, he wouldnt even have time to beg for mercy on his knees.]] [Traveler, you said, Well, people die for wealth as birds die for food.]] [Youve got that right, Lena agreed, There are plenty of people in this world ready to crack their skulls over a bit of profit. Anyway, enough talk; were at the entrance to the underground black market. When you hear a strange noise later, close your eyes. Once inside, stay close to me and try to talk less.]] [Traveler, you stood in front of a pitch-dark two-story building.] [In the shadowy alley, a few patrons who looked like you started trickling in from other openings.] [You observed each other, but it was merely thatthere was no intention to interact.] [Pop] [Suddenly, you heard a strange noise from the building in front, recalling the shopkeepers instructions, Traveler, you immediately closed your eyes, and then a blinding white light shone.] [Some people exclaimed in surprise, obviously they were dazzled by the light.] [Squeak] [You opened your eyes, only to see the buildings large doors slowly opening to both sides, its interior as bright as day.] [A person wearing a deer skull mask walked out from the inside.] [He spread his arms in a welcoming gesture, Welcome to Dongze Underground Black Market. I hope you can all find items that meet your desires here. There is only one rule: no fighting, no matter what. Please keep your eyes sharp, dont end up buying counterfeit goods and come to us for compensation.]] [Many of those present laughed.] [Having said that, the person with the deer skull mask turned and went back inside, and many people surged in after him.] [You and Weier followed behind Shopkeeper Lena, entering the black market.] [Inside the gate was a downward slope, and once at the bottom, you raised your head to look into the depths, discovering to your surprise a long underground street lit with various lights, approximately five meters in height and more than twenty meters wide.] [It was hard to imagine how such an underground black market could have been constructed under the noses of the rulers of Winter City.] [Traveler, you wondered, was it because those in power were themselves part of the black markets backing?] [Along both sides of the street, an array of vendor stalls had been set up, and the stall owners were wrapped up snugly, displaying an assortment of strange items whose names you couldnt even guess on the cloth-covered tables.] [Led by Shopkeeper Lena, you didnt look at the stalls; instead, moving beyond the two hundred meter stretch of stalls, you arrived at the deeper section of the long street where many little houses with signs stoodit was full of shops.] [Many people were heading directly there.] [Shopkeeper Lena pushed open the door of one of the small houses.] [Welcome to Know-It-All Wine Shop, dear customers. What would you like to drink today?]] [Upon entering, an elderly voice rang out, startling you, and Weier instinctively grabbed your arm and took a small step back.] [Traveler, you slightly lowered your head, glanced at Cat Cats hand gripping yours, and pretended to be oblivious.] [It was rare for Cat Cat to initiate contact with you.] [Ding! Your Happiness Level +5] [However, Cat Cat quickly realized she was holding you, and the girl nonchalantly let go of your hand.] [It was uncertain whether Weiers face under the mask turned red.] [Note: If that were the case, could you, the Trash Traveler, say, Yo, are you blushing? Let me take a look.]] Luo Xi: ] sea??h th Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. This Damn Text is really getting better at playing with memes. [Traveler, you began to observe the layout of this wine shop.] [The place wasnt very large, the bar was only two meters long, and a person wearing an owl mask was sitting inside. However, given the premium on space in such a location, owning a room like this was telling of the owners substantial wealth or power.] [But werent you supposed to be looking for an informant? Why are you here for drinks all of a sudden?] [Two beers and one fruit juice, said Shopkeeper Lena, taking a seat on a high stool at the bar and signaling that you should sit as well.] [Traveler, you and Weier took your seats on the high stools one after the other.] [Squeak] [The wine shops door suddenly closed on its own.] [Traveler, you and Weier thought it might be a trap and tensed up, about to get off the stools, but then Shopkeeper Lena tapped on the bar and said, No need to be afraid.] Chapter 113 - 113 102 Can the Proud Cat be Shy - Part 2 ?Chapter 113: Chapter 102: Can the Proud Cat be Shy?

We cant allow newcomers to come in and listen, can we?] [Your drinks and juice will be ready shortly.] [Owl Mask took out three cups and poured two beers and one juice according to Shopkeeper Lenas request.] [Lena handed the juice to Weier, then gave one of the beers to you. She groped for the protrusion on her mask, flipped open the bottom half, and started chugging down the drink greedily.] [Lena laughed and said, The last time I drank here was two years ago. Your booze is indeed splendid, unforgettable after one taste. Have you ever thought about changing careers and opening a brewery?] [Owl Mask also chuckled and replied, You jest, my dear guest. Brewing drinks is merely our side business. Our true mission is to help our clients solve their riddles.] [Traveler, you didnt really want to drink, but since Lena had offered you a beer, you couldnt lose face.] [Looking at the golden liquid in the glass, you mimicked the shopkeeper and opened the mouthpiece of your mask, wrinkling your brow as you took a couple of sips.] [The taste was not bad, reminiscent of pineapple beer.] [You looked over at Weier. Cat Cat seemed somewhat downcast, looking at the yellow juice in front of her.] [You asked, Whats wrong?] [Cat Cat muttered discontentedly, I can also drink alcohol.] [Traveler, you thought for a moment and then set your beer in front of Weier.] [Weier shook her head: I dont want to drink from your glass.] Luo Xi: ] Could this also be considered tsundere behavior? However, Weiers current physical condition indeed made it unwise for her to drink alcohol. [Owl Mask clapped his hands lightly and laughed, So, dear guests, what brings you to our tavern where nothing is unknown? No boasting C for the right price, theres nothing we wont divulge.] [Enough with the self-praise.] [Shopkeeper Lena leaned her cup against the bar and asked teasingly, If I were to ask you to investigate inside the Mansion of the City Lord, would you dare to go?] [That] [Owl Mask hesitated and said, We truly wouldnt dare to do that. But the information youre asking for shouldnt be of that kind, right?] [No, its not. But its not far off. Lena asked gravely, What exactly happened at the Winter Divine Trees night festival three years ago? Why did the old City Owner disappear?] [Owl Mask realized and said, I remember you. You came to ask about this two years ago. I advised you then that this matter involves a major upheaval among the upper echelons of Winter City, not something common folk should probe into.] S~ea??h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Lena chuckled and said, So this place, where supposedly nothing is unknown, is just a front?] [Owl Mask: ] [He shook his head and said, To tell the truth, its not that I do not wish to tell you, but I truly do not have a clear understanding of what happened then. If you wish to know about that day, you must seek someone who participated in that festival.] [Lena lightly uttered two words: A front?] [Traveler, you felt that p signs seemed to spring up on Owl Masks mask.] [Theres nothing more maddening than being mocked by others over what youre supposed to be good at.] [His voice grew heavier and he said, All I can tell you is that I know someone who attended the festival, but since that night, he has been completely out of his wits, unable to utter a complete sentence. You might try asking him.] [Weier couldnt help interjecting, Where is he?] [Owl Mask turned his gaze to Weier, whose tone was a bit urgent.] [The man is currently in a sanatorium in the third ring district. His name is Gilles, and he was once a captain in the Winter Legion. However, without sufficient strength, dont even think about getting into that sanatorium. It is guarded by heavy troops daily.] [Item recorded: Gilles, sanatorium.] [Shopkeeper Lena inquired, Is there anything else?] [Ha, I risk great danger in telling you this. Of those who survived the Festival that day, very few are left, and most who remain are nearly insane.] [Owl Mask nodded, his black hole-like eye sockets fixed on the trio, as his aged voice slowly articulated, Have you ever wondered why? Because for those high-ranking persons who emerged after the shuffle, this is a taboo they will not allow anyone to touch.] [Thats all I can say. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. If not, you may leave after you settle the bill. The total cost is ten Essence Crystals or a hundred gold coins, non-negotiable.] [Lena asked, Is the information reliable?] [Im not one of those street-side intelligence peddlers who would con you with false information, am I?] [Owl Mask stopped talking.] [Shopkeeper Lena moved, and from her personal bag, she shakily took out a transparent crystal, placing it on the bar.] [Owl Mask picked up the crystal to examine it, then laughed, Quite decisive. So, Ill throw in an additional piece of information for youa tattletale that stirred up the whole city yesterday. It seems a Variant managed to procure a piece of power armor, and after killing more than a dozen guards, escaped.

If it were outside, Id certainly extort a batch back from them.] [Weier whispers, So are we going to try and find someone in that retirement home now?] [Lena shakes her head, That retirement home is filled with retirees from the Winter Legion; it has ample security forces. Its as difficult as reaching the heavens to sneak in, unless a big-shot is willing to take us in.] [Weier falls silent.] sea??h th n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Lena consoles the girl, Its all right, there will always be opportunities, at least now we know that someone survived that day.] [Its just that Sister Lena, youve spent so much.] [Ha-ha, this little money is nothing. Ever since teacher taught me how to draw scrolls, I have never been short on cash again.] [Lena looks at the road they had come from, Since were already here, its not bad to browse the black markets street stands. If were lucky, we might even pick up some treasures. Shall we take a look?] [Cat Cat nods: Mhm.] [Traveler, you nod in agreement as well.] [Thus, you head towards the street stands at the exit of the long street.] [The dazzling array of street stand merchandise passes before your eyes one by one.] [You squat down and examine an item on one of the stands.] [Materials: Genus Rat Origin Beast fur, unrefined essence ore] Luo Xi: Its like a street full of junk dealers. [Lena says, Thats what black market street stands are like, pay the fee and set up, so the quality of goods is hit or miss.] [Weier suddenly stops, lifts her head, and looks towards somewhere.] [Whats the matter? Lena asks.] [I think I sense something familiar, Weier says, walking over there.] [Traveler, you follow Weier and eventually reach the stand of a stall owner wearing a bull mask.] [You look in the direction of Weiers gaze.] [Its a black magical staff, appearing quite ordinary, put up for sale on the stand.] [The stall owner smiles, What would you like to purchase, customer?] [Weier lowers her head, seemingly disappointed.] [Nothing, lets move on.] [Traveler, you squat down and touch the staff.] [Instantly, you feel your hat getting unbearably hot.] Not a ripple stirred in the Wine Tasting House. After receiving another group of guests, the wine house didnt open its doors again, and the front door was firmly closed. The person behind the counter wearing an owl mask took off the mask hanging on their face. Surprisingly, beneath the mask is not the face of a wizened old person, but rather a beautiful womans face, with arched willow-leaf eyebrows above her black pupils, with gray hair that had been tucked under the mask now let down, cascading beside her and reflecting the dim light of the tavern. She mutters to herself, Its been three years now; why are there still people trying to investigate the events of that day? Isnt living well enough? Or could it be they are also related to what happened back then? No good, I need to search for clues about that incident as well. Why are there more and more things happening in Winter City - - A bit better than yesterday.

But if it were left by Liya, why would it have ended up in the black market? [Seeing that you, wearing the bull-headed mask, seemed interested in making a purchase, the boss quickly spoke up, This staff is meant for Apprentice-level Skill Practitioners, and it only costs 4 gold coins. Would you like to buy it?] [Although Shopkeeper Lena didnt know why you were also interested in that staff, thinking of Weiers odd reaction just now, she came back to help you haggle with the boss.] [4 gold coins? For something that obviously didnt use much material and looks like garbage, you dare ask for 4 gold coins? Itll probably break after a few uses, wont it? I wont pay more than 1 gold coin.] [1 gold coin? The boss shook his head, Honestly speaking, I spent 3 gold coins to get this staff, you cant make me sell it at a loss, can you?] [Lena said, 3 gold coins, take it or leave it.] [After saying that, Lena pulled you as if to leave.] [The boss conceded, Fine, this is my first transaction of the day, lets consider it good luck for the opening. However, if you find any problems after the purchase, please dont come back to me.] Sarch* The N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Luo Xi: Had the boss not added that last sentence, it would have been better; but now, it just made him seem like a cunning merchant. [Lena nonchalantly threw out 3 gold coins without even blinking.] [Traveler, are all the Skill Practitioners in the scroll painting as wealthy as this?] [Its a pity that Cat Cat cannot paint scrolls; otherwise, you would have a stable source of income in the future.] [Note: Traveler, youre so garbage.] [You held the pitch-black staff in your hand.] [Weier quietly asked by your side, Why buy it? It looks very ordinary, and maybe I was wrong earlier. Besides, dont you already have a staff? That one is much better than this low-tier product.] [Traveler, you said, Because I trust your intuition.] [Weier was stunned for a moment, then turned her head away, What intuition? Such childishness.] [Ding! Weiers favorability towards you +3] [Traveler, you snickered to yourself.] Luo Xi held back his smile. Could this be the quintessential tsundere attitude of protesting too much? [Weier took the staff from you to take a look, didnt find anything unusual, and handed it back.] [However, not long after, you suddenly discovered a stall in front of you selling very similar staffs, five of them placed together.] [Weier stopped in her tracks and said, I feel like this staff] [The Sheep-headed boss at the stall caught sight of the staff in your hand and beckoned you over with a wave.] [The Sheep-headed boss spoke mysteriously, Dear customers, you didnt buy that staff from that bull-headed guy, did you? How much did you pay? This item is wholesale from the Winter Workshop, the cost is just 0.8 gold coins, its a subpar product among staffs for Apprentices and wont last long. If you want more, youll need a few spares. If youre still looking to buy, I can offer it to you for 1.5 gold coins each.] Luo Xi: [Shopkeeper Lena gave you a meaningful look.] [Traveler, you crouched down and touched the staffs offered by the Sheep-headed boss.] [In an instant, your hat once again grew hot.] [Ding! Your confusion value +10] [What on earth is going on?] [If these were staffs left by Liya, then why were there so many of them?] [Traveler, you said, Ill take all of these staffs.] [Ding! Sheep-headed bosss favorability towards you +20] [Description: He thinks youre a big sucker.] [Shopkeeper Lena said gravely, Why buy so many? Are you going to eat them?] [Sister Lena. Weier gently tugged at the shop owners sleeve, Can I consider it a loan from you, sister?] [Traveler, you felt somewhat moved.] [Shopkeeper Lena said helplessly, Never mind loans, its just a few gold coins and I can afford that. What I cant stand is his attitude of not treating money as money. If you ever leave Winter City and still spend money so lavishly, sooner or later you will starve. Not to mention when it comes to marriage, many things need a lot of money] [Weier immediately protested, Sister Lena, what are you talking about? Whos going to marry this pervert?!] [Ding! Your happiness level +20] [Lenas words made you, the Traveler, somewhat happy.] [Is this woman, who could be considered half an elder to Cat Cat, already agreeing to let you whisk Cat Cat away?] [Note: Perverted Loli-con Traveler, please rein in your delusions; this is not the place to be fanatical.] Luo Xi: [The Sheep-headed boss took out a bag and packed all the staffs into it for you.] [Ding! Bosss favorability towards you +10] [Traveler, you realized that wearing the mask, you do not trigger the negative talent of same-sex repulsion.] [That turned out to be a rather useful discovery.] [Lena said, Theres nothing else worth looking at, lets go.] [Traveler, you prepared to leave the black market.] [At that moment, you heard someone yelling, Yellow Sand Knight, a path of Sublimation for Tier 0 Apprentices, does anyone want it? Only fifty pounds of Essence Crystals are needed for the purchase.] Chapter 116 - 116 103 You just crave Ainas delicate petite ?Chapter 116: Chapter 103: You just crave Ainas delicate, petite body, right! -2 Chapter 116: Chapter 103: You just crave Ainas delicate, petite body, right! -2 [Soon, many interested people gathered around.] [Traveler, youre somewhat curious and want to go have a look too.] [Lena says to you, Dont bother going over there. The sublimation pathways for Tier Zero apprentices are quite common. The important thing is whether the latter pathways can be completed. If you want to see, there are parchments with several Tier Zero sublimation pathways etched on them at the inn.] [But you probably know that you usually cant use them.] [Although Shopkeeper Lenas words are quite disheartening, they are no different from what Weier previously mentioned, mutant patients like you find it very difficult to embark on the path of sublimation.] [Otherwise, with Liyanas strength as a Tier Four Skill Practitioner, she would have already arranged it for her two daughters.] [Traveler, you walk out of the black market and head back the way you came.] [Speed up?] [Yes.] [You return to Shopkeeper Lenas inn and remove the masks from your heads.] [Weier sister, are you back?] [Traveler, you hear Ainas soft and flimsy voice coming from the staircase of the inn.] [Shopkeeper Lena picks up a lamp beside her and shines it around.] [You see Aina wrapped in a thin blanket, sitting on the middle stair platform shivering. Despite being chilled to the bone, her large tea-gold eyes are full of anticipation.] [From beneath Little Wolf Girls blanket, Traveler, you can indistinctly see she is also wearing only a thin nightgown.] [Weier rushes up to embrace Aina in her arms, chiding softly, Aina, what are you doing? Why didnt you wait for us in your room?] [Little Wolf Girl blinks her eyes in a cute manner and says, Aina couldnt sleep, she just came down from the bed, thinking that if sister and brother come back, Aina could see you the moment you returned.] [Traveler, you step forward and touch Ainas head.] [So cold!] [Now, the nighttime temperature must have already dropped to below forty degrees. The inn might have twenty degrees, but its still very cold. In this kind of low temperature, its really easy for someone to freeze.] [And I wonder if the residents of Grey Stone Street can survive this harsh winter.] [Weier gives you a look and flicks away your fondling hands touching Ainas head. She holds Aina in her arms and carries her towards the stairs.] [However, after not going far, Cat Cat seems to struggle with the weight, not only because she and Aina are not much different in height, but also because she is indeed a bit weary.] [Traveler, you kindly offer, How about I do it?] [Note: Garbage Traveler, you just want to take this chance to feel the delicate and tender body of the little wolf Lolita, dont you.] Luo Xi: Damn Text is slandering me again!] [Without hesitation, Weier says, No way, who knows if youll start touching Aina inappropriately.] [Ding! Your Happiness Level -10] [Aina isnt frozen stiff yet, she can walk by herself. Its you, sister, who might need someone to lean on.] [Aina wriggles out of Weiers arms, smiles at you, Traveler, then takes Weier by the arm and goes upstairs.] [These two sisters seem to have a very good relationship with you.] [Traveler, you hear Shopkeeper Lenas wistful voice behind you.] [It should have been me who was this close to them.] [Why didnt Teacher Liya tell me she had daughters back then?] [Traveler, you feel a chill on your back, as if a butchers cleaver is standing right behind you.] [You dare not respond to Shopkeeper Lenas words and quickly follow Weier and Aina upstairs.] [Inside Weiers room, there is still no light. Shopkeeper Lena follows behind you with a dim lamp.] [Aina sits in the bed and asks with hope, So Weier sister, did you find any information about mom?] [Weier nods and says, Although there are no direct clues, weve learned that moms disappearance is definitely related to the former authorities of Winter City.] [The former authorities of Winter City Aina lowers her head and says, So, is mom really not coming back?] [Weier remains silent.] [She was also confused now, not sure whether or not to continue the search.] [After all, she herself was deep in a quagmire at the moment, and the best choice right now should be to hurry and leave Winter City, rather than taking risks to look for the elusive traces of her mother within the city.] [Shopkeeper Lena said from the side, It has already been three years. If Teacher is still alive, there will definitely be a chance to find her in the future. Let Sister handle the search for Teacher Liya, and tomorrow Sister will work out a way to arrange for you to leave the city.] [Weier nodded lightly.] [Shopkeeper Lena looked at you, So what exactly did you buy all those inferior staffs for?] [Staffs? Brother bought something?] [Aina crawled out from the blankets, rubbing her eyes, and curiously looked at you.] [Traveler, you saw Ainas nightgown was about to fall off, revealing the fair shoulders of the little wolf girl with wolf ears.] [Ding! Your Happiness Level +10] [Note: Traveler, you pervert!] Luo Xi: Unfortunately, he hadnt seen it with his own eyes this time. [Aina, put your clothes on properly first.] [Weier gave you a glare and went to adjust her sisters clothes properly.] [Traveler, you placed the bag that wrapped around the six staffs on the ground and opened it.] [Six dingy, obviously inferior quality staffs were neatly arranged together.] Sarch* The N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Shopkeeper Lena looked at you, So why exactly did you buy this trash?] [Im going to try something first.] [Traveler, you took off the hat on your head, although it was in a silent state, the way the hat heated up when in contact with the staffs suggested that there must be some kind of connection.] [You placed the hat on the staffs.] [However, nothing happened] [Weier walked up and touched the staffs lightly.] [I think the origins of these staffs may not be so ordinary.] [Cat Cat thought for a moment, she bit her finger lightly, and let a drop of blood fall on the staff.] [Lena immediately pulled Weier to her side, looking at the wound on her finger with concern.] [Traveler, just when you thought the resonance between the hat and the staffs might have been accidental, suddenly, one of the staffs that Weiers blood touched started moving lightly.] [At the same time, Weiers pale red eyes lit up with a beautiful glow.] [Mysterious runes emerged from one staff, hovering in the air, forming several lines of white text.] [Weier, Aina, if you are still in Grey Stone Street, then leave Winter City immediately! The farther, the better!] [Rat King Nos might have his eyes on you, Weier, dont believe anything he says, and dont trust anyone with malicious intentions trying to contact you.] [That unfinished scroll, remember to take it with you, the rest of the matching ones are probably still in the Mansion of the City Owner, when in the future you have sufficient strength, perhaps you can retrieve them.] [If for some reason you enter the Inner City, then go to the Northern Ring of the Sixth Circle and look for an inn. The owners name is Lena, tell her your identities, and she will help you.] [To my dear daughters.] [Everyone in the room fell silent.] [Weiers voice trembled, Is this a message left by Mom?] [Shopkeeper Lenas voice was also shaking, Its obviously a message from Teacher Liya, only she would have the strength to turn runes into a message, hidden in such inferior staffs. So Teacher is still alive? But why would she leave a message in this way?] [Traveler, you speculated, One reason is for secrecy, another might be that all she had on hand were these garbage staffs? Also, for Weier and others, the chance of these inferior staffs being sold to Grey Stone Street should be relatively high, right? If Weier could find it, she might buy one and thereby notice the anomaly.] [Unfortunately, Weier had not acquired such a staff in three years, not until she entered Winter City.] [Aina asked softly, So Mom is still alive?] [Weier touched her sisters head, nodding, Yes, Mom is still alive.] [This time, Cat Cats tone was so certain.] Chapter 117 - 117 104 All the Beast Eared Girl Sisters are ?Chapter 117: Chapter 104: All the Beast Eared Girl Sisters are mine!

Against a colossus like Winter City, our strength is still too weak. Even if we give it our all, it would be like an ant shaking a tree.] [Aina was silent for a long time before nodding her head.] [Shopkeeper Lena looked at the two children with pity.] [Theres nothing more painful than losing family at a young age.] [Traveler, although your parents are still alive, you understand this too, dont you?] Luo Xi: [Afterward, Weier tried dripping her blood onto several other wands.] [Although all the wands displayed text, the content was the same as the first one.] [Lena gathered all the wands, saying she would study them and urged you to go back and rest quickly.] [If the city gates open tomorrow morning, she plans to find a way to send you all out.] [Traveler, although you also want to leave quickly, your intuition tells you that Winter City wont let you go that easily.] [You glance at the Beast Eared Sisters hugging each other on the bed, turn around, and leave their room to return to the one you share with Chu Tian.] [Chu Tian is still in an unconscious state.] [Traveler, you lie on the bed, ready to rest.] Luo Xi yawned. It was now two or three in the morning again. He has to work tomorrow. Its time to sleep. Ever since he started playing this game, his daily routine had become more irregular. He wondered if his enhanced physique could give him more stamina to stay up late than an ordinary person.] He closed his eyes and soon fell asleep. Who knows how much time passed. Suddenly, a voice faintly rang in Luo Xis ear. Luo Xi felt something and opened his eyes.] [The projected text before him continued its diligent work.] Sar?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Wake up] [Traveler, you feel something touching your head. You open your eyes and see a dark figure standing beside you.] [Just as you prepare to get up and take the initiative, the familiar scent of Weiers perfume, along with the smell of shower gel, fills your nostrils.] [Its Cat Cat!] [But why is Cat Cat in your room?] [Cat Cat speaks softly, Pervert, stop feigning sleep. I know you must already be awake.] [Traveler, you turn on your side to look at the girl and ask, Whats up, cute tsundere Cat Cat?]] [Tsundere Cat Cat What are you talking about? Theres something I want to talk to you about.] [Weier withdrew her hand and said, You have a companion here; its not suitable to talk. Come with me to the vacant room next door.] [Traveler, you turn to glance at Chu Tian lying on the edge of the bed.] [You think for a moment and fan Chu Tians face with your hand.] [Ding! Weiers confusion value +10] [Traveler, seeing no reaction from Chu Tian, you naturally say to Weier, This guy is dead to the world, probably wont wake up anytime soon. Whatever youve got to say, you can say it here. If its too cold for you, I can move Chu Tian onto the sofa, and you can lie in my spot. Hows that?] [Note: Garbage Traveler, do you even have manners? You just want to sleep with Cat Cat, dont you!] Luo Xi: Although, he really did like the idea of holding a Beast Eared Girl while sleeping. The thought of that fluffy feeling was just too captivating to let go. [Weiers light red eyes looked at you with a scornful gaze.] [She said, You pervert I dont even know if the decision Im about to make is correct anymore.] [Traveler, you grow curious about what decision Cat Cat is referring to.] [Weier sits at the edge of your bed, her long hair falling onto your covers, and her cat tail too comes down, poking out from a hole in the back of her nightgown.] [Traveler, you dont ask any questions, waiting for Weier to speak for herself.] [Cat Cat gazes at you, saying, The locust plague has ended. After Winter City opens up, I want to stay here to look for my mother, so I hope you can take Aina away. Shopkeeper Lena will most likely not leave Winter City; she shares my thoughts. The only person I can barely trust now is you.] [That way, even if I fail, at least Aina can live on safely.] [But Im afraid you, a pervert, might do something inappropriate to Aina You must promise me, even if Aina grows to like you more and more, you cant do anything to her before she grows up.]] [After leaving Winter City, you can go find a remote village or town, the farther the better. If Im not dead, I will eventually find you.] [Traveler, your mind takes a moment to catch up.] [Is Cat Cat entrusting you with her sister for the second time?] [And what did she mean by all those words that followed?] [Traveler, youre infuriated. Youve never had any other intentions, you just wanted to touch Ainas fluffy big tail and her ears, thats all.] [Note: Garbage Traveler, stop explaining. No matter how you explain it, you cant cover up the fact that youre a Loli-con!] Luo Xi: (p) Damn text. [Traveler, you dont show any elation or other emotions at Weiers permission for you to take her sister away.] [Although Weier is allowing you to abduct her little sister, are you happy?] [Youre not happy.] [You and Weier looked at each other] [Traveler, you softly asked, Is this okay?] [Weier gave you, the Traveler, a cold glance, Do you really think I want to entrust Aina to someone as strange as you? I did this because I really have no one else I can trust and had no other choice.] [Cat Cat is still as tsundere as ever] [If she didnt trust you, who would entrust their sister, who is as precious as life itself, to you?] [Traveler, you made a firm decision deep in your heart] [No matter what, I must take them away] [Traveler, you said, Although your thoughts, Cat Cat, are good, I reckon that even if the locust plague disappears, Winter City wont lift the restrictions on entry and exit. They must have an ulterior motive for taking the residents of Grey Stone Street into the Inner City, and it wont be easy to let us leave.] [Weier silently looked at you] [She said, I know, Sister Laina and I have already discussed it. If we cant get you out tomorrow, then well just wait longer. Their real target isnt you and Aina. As long as you two dont expose yourselves, there will come a day when you can leave Winter City.] [Traveler, you shook your head, If Aina knew you thought this way, she would be very sad, youre the most important person to her right now.] [The young girl lowered her head, whispering softly, I know, but I really have no other way] [Ding! Weiers Sadness Value +80] [Ding! Traveler, youve triggered a temporary Dreamland Synchronization (10 minutes), would you like to use it?] Luo Xi was startled. He had triggered this temporary synchronization several times but had never been able to discern a clear pattern to its activation. On the surface, it looked like it was giving them extra time to infiltrate outside the normal Dreamland synchronization state, thereby creating more connections with the Dream world. Not bad. [Yes] Before his consciousness slipped into the darkness, Luo Xi glanced at the time on his phone. Five-thirty. His daily routine was truly getting more and more outrageous. Weier hung her head low, mumbling to herself, not noticing that the young man on the bed had a growing light in his eyes. Luo Xi squinted as he watched the girl sitting to his right. The haziness of this ordinary synchronized state was seriously annoying. His gaze turned to Cat Cats tail lying on his blanket. The white, slender, long cat tail was quite different from Ainas fluffy and soft wolf tail. Even though touching it might not feel as good as Ainas, it was bound to have its own unique appeal. [Note: Garbage!] Luo Xi stealthily reached out his hand. Weier was still lost in thought. Thus, when Luo Xi caught hold of Cat Cats tail, the girl was clearly taken aback for a moment, and turned to glance back. Even though the room was dark, Luo Xi still saw a visible blush spread across Weiers face, quickly reaching the tips of her ears. So even a tsundere Cat Cat can be shy, huh? Slap! A crisp sound echoed through the room. Weier slapped Luo Xis hand away, grabbed her tail in her own hands, leapt up, and pinned him down. The girl, stifling her breath, punched Luo Xis chest with little fists. It wasnt painful, but it still made one cant help but feel heartache. You pervert, Im already so upset, and yet you keep bothering me If you, you unfortunate soul, really are from another world, then break through the current dead end, save our mother, and get me and Aina out of here even if its just Aina alone, that would be okay [Ding! You have triggered a special mission: Weiers Request] [Mission Brief: Weier requests that you at least keep her sister safe] [Mission Reward: Unknown] Luo Xi reached out, trying to touch Cat Cats delicate cheek. This time, Weier didnt dodge, allowing his fingers to touch her face. With a hint of tears in her eyes, Luo Xi realized he had never seen Weier cry in any text or synchronization state before. Perhaps, over the years, the girl just didnt want to show her vulnerability in front of others. He said, I will. From that moment on, Luo Xi was completely determined. Both Beast Eared Girls were his. He couldnt lose either of them. But with their current strength, it was wishful thinking to consider facing off against the people of Winter City. He couldnt possibly increase his power to the extent of being able to confront an entire city alone within a few days. So, there was only one way. Since there was a good chance that the girls mother, the Tier Four Skill Practioner, was still alive, if he could find her, it wouldnt be a problem for her to lead them out of here with her strength. However, if that day really came and Liya came back, he wondered if he, as a suspicious male, would be treated as a pig trying to snatch away their two precious cabbages. The expression on Luo Xis face grew strange. Never mind. He would deal with things later. If Weier and her mother could reunite, that would be a pretty good outcome. He could then set out on his journey in this world with peace of mind. Lost in thought, Luo Xis hand unconsciously reached towards Weiers head. Cat ears, so fluffy (**). Chapter 118 - 118 105 When are you going to stop touching ?Chapter 118: Chapter 105 When are you going to stop touching!? (ߣ)_1 Chapter 118: Chapter 105 When are you going to stop touching!? (ߣ)_1 Luo Xi gently stroked the right cat ear on Cat Cats head, sliding his fingers down softly, as if he was truly petting a domestic cat. Luo Xi: (**). Cat Cats ears, fluffy, soft, and warm (**). The cat ears extending from the girls head were entirely different from the fake adornments found on cosplayers in reality; these were the real ears of a Cat-eared Girl! When his fingers touched the fine fur on the cat ears, he couldnt help but be reminded of the white cat he once had. [Ding! Your Happiness Level +50] [Note: Perverted, suspicious Traveler, youre getting more and more perverted.] Hold off on that, Damn Text. Just as Luo Xis fingers moved, intending to delve further into the inner side of the cat ear to feel its structure, the girls voice rang out, tinged with a hint of annoyance. Pervert, arent you satisfied yet? How long are you planning to touch me! Luo Xis fingers paused, stopped, and then quickly retracted like a naughty student caught using a cellphone by the teacher. Weier looked at Luo Xi with dangerous eyes, her pale red pupils incredibly bright in the dim room, her pretty face blushing slightly. Moreover, Cat Cat was more or less sitting just below his thigh. The scene was indescribably charming. If Chu Tian suddenly woke up beside them, he might point at him and shout, Caught red-handed, didnt I, you damn Loli-con. Luo Xi belatedly asked, Eh, why didnt you dodge this time, Cat Cat? Havent you always wanted to touch? Weier turned her head away, her cheeks reddening further as she muttered, After all, youve already touched Ainas tail and ears to your hearts content, mine doesnt make much difference. Even though I still cant understand why youre so interested in Mutation features. [Ding! Your Happiness Level +10] Luo Xi smiled and said, Hehe, that would start with the creators of ACG culture, but its a long story from the beginning. Ill tell you about it someday Because you dont understand, in my world, the younger generation feels fascination and love for fantasy creatures like Beast Eared Girls, rather than aversion or fear. Weier slowly shifted off Luo Xis leg to the side, sitting back on the edge of the bed and wrapping her tail around her hand to prevent Luo Xi from grabbing it again with Fondling Hands. Luo Xi felt a slight regret at the loss of weight on his body. Weier also retracted the vulnerability she had previously exhibited in front of Luo Xi. She said, I apologize for what I said earlier; lets pretend I never mentioned it. I was too emotional. Luo Xi said in surprise, Ah, are you referring to taking Aina off my hands as if it was never mentioned? I think theres really no need for that. [Note: Garbage Traveler, are you not even pretending anymore?] Shut up, stupid text; cant you see Im joking with this cat? Slap! Weiers small fist gently tapped his nose. Luo Xi looked at this delicate fist and felt the urge to take a bite out of it. Dont play dumb. Now that Ive chosen to trust you, entrusting Aina to you is not a deception. Weier said somewhat sadly, You big idiot and unfortunate fellow, think about it. Ever since I met you, if it werent for me saving you several times, you wouldnt have survived with even three lives. How could you have the capacity to do what I asked? So, if something really happens to me, then please take good care of Aina for me. If she grows up and if you are still alive and well, you could marry her then, providing some support for my little sisters future. [Ding! Your Happiness Level +20] [Note: Cat Cat, dont trust this person too much. Wait until Aina grows up? The Garbage Traveler has an 80% chance of not being able to resist, especially since Dream World doesnt have police uncles.] Luo Xi: Shut up, Damn Text, whatever you say, Cat Cat cant see it! As a sister with no blood relation, Weier indeed arranged everything she could for Ainas future, suspecting she might not be able to leave Winter City alive. The best she could do was to let Aina leave alone. As for entrusting Aina to Luo Xi, Weier was probably gambling, betting both Aina and her judgment were not wrong. Another reason was, as she said, she genuinely did not have anyone else to trust. Luo Xi sat up from the bed, looked at the girls face solemnly, and said, You dont have to be so hopeless. Were not at the end of our rope yet; theres still a chance to turn things around. Weier shook her head, What chance do we have to turn things around? I suspect those hiding in the dark probably already know my whereabouts. They havent captured me simply because the time hasnt come yet. Yes, Ive guessed as much, Luo Xi said. So Thats why this period is a rare opportunity for us! Luo Xis voice rose with excitement, Your mother, Liya, judging by the poor-quality runes hidden in those wands, its very likely she isnt dead; shes still trying to send you messages through such tough means. So if we find your mother, with her strength as a Tier Four Skill Practitioner, wouldnt she be able to break the current deadlock? The Cat-eared Girls eyes briefly brightened. Luo Xi smiled and said, So my foolish cat, your desire to find your mother is exactly the key to solving our predicament. You absolutely dont have to struggle alone, shouldering all this by yourself. Besides, do you think they would spare Aina? Letting the tiger return to the mountain is something no sensible person would do. The brightness in the Cat-eared Girls eyes grew, but upon hearing Luo Xis following words, it dimmed again quickly. Yes, why would they kindly spare Aina? Weiers body shivered suddenly. It was Luo Xi, who had risen from the bed and placed his hands on the girls shoulders, looking into her eyes: Ill help you, help you find every trace your mother left behind in this Winter City. Considering that your blood unlocked those staffs, your blood might just be the key she prepared for you, and its the backup plan your mother left you! Luo Xi rattled off a lot in one go. Actually, even he didnt quite believe what he had just said. He was just spouting nonsense in a state of extreme confusion. He simply didnt want to see this Cat Cat face her unknown destiny with despair and dejection. Weier nodded softly. Have you figured it out? Luo Xi was stunned. He didnt even know what he had just blurted out. Hmm, if finding my mom can solve the current problems, then I have even more reason to do so, Weier said, looking down at Luo Xis hand on her shoulder with some distaste. Can you remove your paw first? Its hurting me a bit. Sorry, sorry. Luo Xi quickly removed his hand. My bad, my bad, I squeezed the poor girl without realizing it. What you said is indeed correct, but right now, we dont even have a way to get any news, we dont even know what happened three years ago, how are we supposed to find my mother? As Weier was speaking, her voice paused, and then she exclaimed with a rise in pitch, The Winter Workshop that sells these staffs! They might have something crucial there! Luo Xi nodded, Thats right, another lead is following the clue we got from the black market tonight, finding that person named Gilles. Based on my years of experience reading novels, that guy is very likely pretending to be a fool because he knows if he doesnt play dumb, hell get eliminated. Weier: Why did she suddenly feel that the young man in front of her started to seem unreliable? With hesitation, Cat Cat said, But isnt that sanatorium extremely difficult to get into? With so many guards watching over it, even if the two of us go in together, its very likely that we would both die there, rendering it all meaningless. Wait, this is meaningful! Weier suddenly remembered, those people hidden in the shadows must have been affected by something her mother did three years ago that forced them to require her to do something after three years. So if she died, would their plan be completely broken? Seeing the wavering emotions in Weiers eyes, Luo Xi laughed, Silly Cat Cat, dont think about all that nonsense. For now, we only have one goal, to find your mother, Liya. I shall call it, Operation Cat Searches for Mom. Clap clap clap What are you talking about! Weier lightly pounded Luo Xis chest with several small fists, softly scolding, Stop your perverted nonsense, talking rubbish, about Cat Searches for Mom Luo Xi: The Cat Cat five-hit combo! But it didnt hurt at all! He didnt know if it was because Weiers body hadnt recovered since the factor inside her had just stabilized, or if she just didnt feel like exerting force. [Ding! Your Happiness Level +20] It had to be said, interacting with Weier and Aina, the two sisters, was a completely different experience. Aina was the cuddly type who liked sticking to you and was willing to play along with you, while Weier had some resistance, would get shy and angry at your teasing but wouldnt truly dislike you, a little tsundere indeed. Luo Xi suddenly wanted to know what other peoples Dawn looked like. His Dawn seemed a bit off. Chu Tians Dawn was either indulging in food, drink, gambling, or on the road to wooing Beast Eared Big Sisters. What about others? This question, perhaps he could find out something in the conference held by the Dreamland Travel Bureau in two days, right? S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. It couldnt just be him and Chu Tian who were special, could it? Impossible, absolutely impossible. [Warm reminder: Remaining time for this temporary synchronization is 1 minute] Seeing the reminder in the text, Luo Xi hurriedly said, Anyway, you should go back and rest for now. Well confirm everything after daybreak. If we can leave Winter City, then theres no harm in leaving together, especially since thats what your mother, Liya, requested. If we cant all get out, then we must consider what we talked about earlier. After a while, Weier put down her fists, stood up from the edge of the bed, and said softly, Then Im going back to rest, see you after dawn. The Cat-eared girl walked towards the door. In the moment she stepped out, Weier looked back and gave Luo Xi a sly smile, Ive figured it out, Aina really shouldnt be left with a pervert like you! Luo Xi: [This synchronization session has now ended] [Traveler, looking forward to seeing you again~] C C My head doesnt hurt anymore; I coughed so much today I thought my lungs would come out Chapter 119 - 119 106 Aina Sister isnt going to be pregnant ?Chapter 119: Chapter 106 Aina: Sister isnt going to be pregnant, is she?! _1 Chapter 119: Chapter 106 Aina: Sister isnt going to be pregnant, is she?! _1 Luo Xi stared at the old ceiling, his eyes empty. It was already half past seven. Since exiting the dream synchronization, he had been completely unable to sleep, tossing and turning on the bed until now. Every time he recalled the warmth and the fluffy touch of Cat Cats tail and ears, desire crawled in his heart like a tiny, tempting insect. Ainas big tail never stirred such an overwhelming rush of emotion in him. Of course, maybe it was because Ainas wolf ears and tail were more accessible to him. Isnt there a saying that what you cant have is always the best? Speaking of which, was Weiers tail missing some kind of decoration? Luo Xi remembered that many cat girls in illustrations had their tails tied with bows. He decided that if he ever had the chance, he would also adorn Weiers tail with a bow. As he was lost in thought, the text that had been floating in front of him for nearly two hours finally moved. [Traveler, Chu Tian beside you has woken up. After sitting up, he saw you sleeping by his side and immediately reached for his butt, showing a look of sheer panic.] [Brother Luo, please tell me youre not just a loli-con, but also agay guy. What did you do to me last night?] Luo Xi: [Ding! Your anger value +10] [Traveler, would you like to wake up?] [Yes] [Traveler, you open your eyes and kick the guy out of the bed with one swift motion.] [Note: Its one thing to be called a loli-con, as thats an indisputable fact, but being called gay is too much. The two terms are totally unrelated!] Luo Xi: (p) Sar?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Damn text, even sneaking in a jab at me. [Chu Tian climbed back onto the bed from the floor and laughed, Sorry, I forgot for a moment that we shared a room last night.] [Traveler, you ask, How are you doing in the real world?] [Chu Tian said with nonchalance, No big deal. With the boost from my gift attribute, my physical condition has greatly improved, its just excessive blood loss. A few days of rest and Ill bounce back. By the way, did you receive the invite to tomorrows big event at Haicheng Stadium? Are you participating?] [Traveler, you hesitated for a moment, then nodded your head.] [I originally wanted to go too, but after this incident, maybe Ill just focus on recuperating.] [Chu Tians tone became serious as he continued, Brother Luo, if you do participate, remember to protect your identity and dont reveal too much. I only found out yesterday when facing that guy that killing other players can let you take some of their stuff.] [You expressed gratitude for Chu Tians advice.] [Traveler, you get dressed, thinking about leaving the bed, when Chu Tian suddenly calls out to you.] [He carefully pulled out a long white hair from your body, and from the blanket, another was a few centimeters of short fur.] [Traveler, your heart skipped a beat.] [Surely, these must be the traces of Weiers hair and fur, right?] Isnt it strange that a cat-eared girl sheds fur? [Chu Tian looked at you weirdly and asked, Brother Luo, dont tell me you took advantage of my unconsciousness last night to play some exciting games with that lolita cat girl in my place] [Traveler, you nonchalantly took the two strands of fur from Chu Tians hand and stuffed them into your pocket, asking, Huh? What are you talking about?] [Chu Tian picked another long white hair from the blanket and continued, And Luo Xi, wouldnt it be better to go to their room? You could have played with both sisters, what a thrilling and joyful experience] [Traveler, you could no longer hold back and punched Chu Tian in the forehead with precise control of your strength, rendering him momentarily unconscious.] [Traveler, you felt a sense of appreciation for Shopkeeper Lenas demonstrations that came in quite handy.] [You got off the bed, pushed the door open, and stepped out into the hallway of the inn. Not knowing when Cat Cat would wake up, it was already daylight and you could go see if Winter City had plans to let anyone out.] [Squeak] [Traveler, you saw Aina, who had just emerged from the room across, eyes sleepy and half-closed, tiptoeing out with great care.] [Upon seeing you, Ainas eyes immediately widened, and she put her finger to her tender lips, signaling you to be quiet.] [Traveler, Aina pulled you into a vacant room nearby.] [Just then, Chu Tian, whom you had just knocked out, stood up rubbing his forehead and coincidentally caught the sight of Little Wolf Girl pulling you into an empty room.] [Ding! Chu Tians shock value +40] Luo Xi: [Brother Luo Xi, you came at the perfect time.] After pulling you into the vacant room and closing the door, Aina frowned and said, I think something is off with Sister. She sneaked out this morning, and since then she couldnt sleep and has been tossing and turning until she finally fell asleep just now.] [As Little Wolf Girl spoke, her eyes of the color of tea gold suddenly fixed on your face, and she wiggled her little nose.] [Aina suddenly leaned in, pressing her cheek against your clothes, and sniffed intensely.] [Traveler, you subconsciously lifted your hand and petted Little Wolf Girls wolf ears a few times.] [Ding! Your happiness level +20] [Note: Garbage Traveler, you just finished petting her sister, and now youre petting the little sister. You really are insatiable.] This has nothing to do with whether or not someone is born, who could refuse a cute wolf-eared girl who jumps into your arms! [Brother Luo Xi, you smell like Sister on you!] [Aina looked up at you, realizing something, No wonder I thought Sisters scent of Brother was stronger when she came back, I thought it was just my imagination, but it turns out, Brother Luo Xi, you and Weier did something sneaky while I was sleeping this morning, didnt you?] [Traveler, you are utterly confused.] Luo Xi: Damn, Little Aina knows about what he did with her sister in secret What secret! He just had a heart-to-heart talk with Cat Cat for about ten minutes, thats all! [Suddenly, Aina lets out a soft weeping sound.] [Traveler, your confusion value +10] [Aina is happy for Sister, sniff-sniff] [The Little Wolf Girl sniffed as she sobbed, Sister will have a husband from now on, Aina can rest assured about Sisters future. If Mom comes back one day, Aina will have something to explain to her] Luo Xi was so damn tired that he didnt even want to comment. If your mom comes back, she would probably blast me, the stranger, first with a skill. You can only say that the two sisters are really thinking about each others future life. [Ainas lips quivered slightly, her big watery eyes looking at you, WhimperAina should be happy, why does it feel a bit sad? Aina thought if Sister didnt want Brother, Aina could grow up and take Brother back home] [Note: Its fine, the lousy Traveler doesnt mind these things. Hes already said that you and your sister are his, so Aina, you better hurry and grow up.] Pressed down. Luo Xi pressed down the pop-up text bar from the damn text.] [Traveler, you gently pat Ainas head, saying, Your sister and I were just discussing some future plans this morning, its not as complicated as you think. For now, you should go back, it wouldnt be good if your sister saw us in this vacant room.] [Is it really like that?] [The Little Wolf Girl wiped her eyes, still somewhat suspiciously said, Sisters not gonna have a big belly soon, and Aina suddenly has to be an aunt, right?] Luo Xi: ??? This innocent and adorable Little Wolf Girls mind is filled with all sorts of strange plot developments. [No, not at all, lets head out.] [Traveler, you push Aina towards the door, quietly opening it, then you see Chu Tian sound asleep on the side with a new fist mark on his head, along with Weier, hands on her waist, giving you the death stare.] [Ding! Weiers anger value towards you +10] [Cat Cat pulls the Little Wolf into her arms and glares at you fiercely: The moment I opened my eyes, I wondered where Aina went. Ive told you, you pervert, to stop messing with Aina, yet you dared to sneak her into a vacant room!] [Traveler, you want to explain a bit, but Cat Cat doesnt give you the chance as she drags Aina back to her own room.] [Just before the door closed, Aina turned back, giving you a (>?*)? smile.] Luo Xi: (TT) Tired, let it all end. [Traveler, soon Cat Cat comes back out of the room, making sure the door is locked before coming over to your side.] [Cat Cat speaks in a calm tone, Lets go find Shopkeeper Lena, and see if Winter City feels like opening up today.] [Traveler, you say in surprise, Youre not mad at me?] [Whats there to be mad about? That was just a show for Aina.] [Weier glanced back at the room, muttering, Aina is always wary of strangers and only gets close to people she knows and likes. Honestly, if Aina had disliked you at the start, after you were first brought home for bandaging, you might have been tossed out on the street by me, not to mention saving you a few more times after that.] Luo Xi: So, if it hadnt been for Cat Cats kind heart in picking him up initially, and Aina not disliking him, would his game have been a completely different style by now? [Note: Dont worry, lousy Traveler, it wouldnt have been. With Closeness With Small Animals, at most youd be switching to a couple of different beast-eared Lolitas~] You have to admit, the damn text seems to make some sense. All of a sudden, Luo Xi wondered, what would happen if he used that talent upgrade opportunity to level up the Closeness With Small Animals talent? [Note: Traveler, you could give it a try~] Forget it, hes already set with the initial +60 Favorability from the title for now. Better save that upgrade opportunity for a talent he really cherishes. [Traveler, you and Weier walk towards the staircase, and a door nearby opens.] [Out pops the Bunny Loli Winnie, who greets you both upon seeing you.] [Brother, Sister, hello.] [Traveler, you pat Winnies head, Hello, wheres your mom?] [Mom is still resting. Winnie said obediently, I heard some noise outside, so I came to have a look.] [Traveler, as you are enjoying the soft feel of the little bunny girls head, you sense a strange gaze and turn to see its coming from Cat Cat at your side.] [Weier said with a weird expression, Youre not really like that freak from your hometown said, a whats it called loli-con, are you?] Chapter 120 - 120 107 Aina wants to steal her sisters ?Chapter 120: Chapter 107 Aina wants to steal her sisters husband! But her brother wont let her!_1 Chapter 120: Chapter 107 Aina wants to steal her sisters husband! But her brother wont let her!_1 [Traveler, you vehemently deny Weiers suspicion and claim you dont have that kind of fetish, asserting that you simply wanted to pet Winnies fluffy ears.] [After all, only a true pervert would be interested in a child whose age is still in the single digits, right?] [Ding! Weiers suspicion towards you +10] [Hey? Really? Weier prolonged her tone, indicating her doubt.] Luo Xi: [Traveler, you say, Then, Cat Cat, can I pet you?] [Suddenly remembering something, Cat Cats cute face flushed red. She quickly hopped back two steps and covered her ears on top of her head.] [Traveler, seeing the girl so energetic at this moment, you felt somewhat happy.] [After a good nights sleep, has she recovered quite a bit?] [However, just covering her ears isnt enough.] [Traveler, your gaze drifts to behind Cat Cat, where her slender, delicate cat tail continues to wiggle unconsciously.] [Note: Hehehe, such a forgetful silly cat lady~] This damn text why is it so full of soul [Weier glanced down following your line of sight and hurriedly tucked her tail into her clothes: No way! Youve already touched it once, you cant touch it again now!] Hmm? sea??h th n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. So, does that mean I can touch it later? [The bunny-eared little Lolita watching you both tilted her head and gently nuzzled your hand, whispering softly, Brother, sister, can I go now? Winnie needs to go see how Mom is doing.] [Traveler, you withdrew your hand, letting Winnie return to her room. Amidst Cat Cats angry gaze, you nonchalantly pulled out Cat Cats white tail hair from your pocket and asked curiously, Im curious about something, Weier, do you have the kind of physique that sheds fur?] [Ding! Weiers anger value +10] [Who doesnt shed hair and fur!] [Weiers light red eyes nearly turned dark red. She pounced over, reaching for your hand, Pervert, where did you get my fur from, give it back to me now!] [Traveler, you let the girl snatch the hair back.] [After all, when I want another one, I can just pluck it] [Note: Garbage!] Luo Xi: [Weier glared at you fiercely and stopped talking to you, quickly heading downstairs.] [Traveler, you followed her down the stairs.] [Shopkeeper Lena was preparing breakfast in the restaurant on the first floor. Seeing you both, she took off her apron, put on her coat from the rack, and said, You guys eat something first. Im going out to check the situation. Supposedly, the city should open today. If it doesnt, then we can only hold our position for now.] [After the shopkeeper left, you and Weier were left alone in the restaurant. On the table were some bread and milk products from an unknown animal, emitting a strong milky scent.] [Traveler, you turn to Weier and ask, Wheres Aina? Arent we letting her come down for breakfast?] [Cat Cat grabbed a piece of bread and took a light bite. Although somewhat reluctant to deal with you, she still said, Ill bring some up to her later. Letting that silly little sister talk nonsense, saying stuff like sister has a big belly and all, I dont know who she picked it up from, not afraid of angering me to death.] [So Weier had eavesdropped on your conversation with Aina earlier, hadnt she?] [Your thoughts turn to Chu Tian, who was probably deeply asleep because he wanted to eavesdrop but was knocked out by Cat Cat with a punch.] [Traveler, you also sat down to eat the breakfast prepared by Shopkeeper Lena.] In reality, Luo Xi had also risen from bed and finished his morning wash. Since it wasnt even eight oclock yet, there was no need to go to the cat cafe so early. While he watched the conversation with Cat Cat refresh from time to time, he began searching on his phone for some martial arts teachings. Ever since the guard captain nearly dispatched him with one move the day before, Luo Xi realized that he had significant deficiencies in his combat awareness and technique. After all, as a youth who grew up in a peaceful and harmonious society, why would he bother developing such skills if he didnt plan to go work to death in the Middle East during the summer holidays? However, Luo Xi soon discovered that most of the martial arts tutorials circulating online were for fitness purposes, and hardly any were suitable for combat. Should he sign up for a Sanda class or something? Luo Xi thought about it, then dismissed the idea. With his current strength, he could probably punch through an average person with a bit of force. He wondered if the Dreamland Travel Bureau had what he was looking for Amidst his clueless search, the time reached 8:20. Luo Xi gathered his things, preparing to go to work at the cat cafe. However, at this moment, the text changed. [Squeak] [The taverns main door was opened, and then you heard Shopkeeper Lena shouting, Why is it so cold today? as she ran into the restaurant from the door and slammed an orange button on a cabinet.] [The warm, orange glow illuminated the entire restaurant, and instantly, the temperature inside began to rise steadily. Soon it had increased from subzero temperatures to around ten degrees Celsius.] [Damn it, has it ever been this cold in past years? Even the constant temperature scrolls arent doing much.] [Shopkeeper Lena sat down on a stool next to Weier, picked up a glass of milk, and gulped it down ferociously.] [Weier asked curiously, Is it that cold outside?] [Due to the houses insulation and the existence of warm stones for heating, the temperature difference between indoors and outdoors was already like heaven and earth. Last nights minus forty degrees was cold enough, was it possible for today to be even colder?] [Lena nodded, It feels about ten degrees lower than yesterday. In the past years, this is about as cold as it would get, but winter here is just beginning. Its unimaginable how it might turn out later.] [Traveler, you asked, Shopkeeper, will Winter City be open for entry today?] [No movement over there, but I guess it wont be opening.] [Lena took off her large hat, pushed back her golden hair, revealing eyebrows covered in frost, I went to see the gathering place of the Mutant Patients. They are still clustered in that area, but theyre all alive and well. I heard that yesterday afternoon the Mansion of the City Lord sent them a large number of warm stones and some heating equipment. It seems they dont intend to let them leave anytime soon.] [Traveler, you exchanged a glance of confirmation with Weier.] [Due to this mornings discussion, you had already predicted this situation. Winter City had broken its rule and allowed people in for the first time in many years; they wouldnt let them out so easily.] [Besides, their real purpose might be to carry out a lockdown strategy.] [Lena glanced at you, then at Weier, Weier, I will try my best to trace the clues left by our teacher during this time. You guys better rest here and not go out.] [Cat Cat shook her head, Sister Lena, Luo Xi and I discussed it this morning. If we can find my mom, maybe we can break out of this situation. Your strength alone definitely cannot compare to us working together. And I suspect that my mom might have left something behind, like those magical staves.] [The Winter Workshop, which produced those magical staves, is worth our visit today.] [Lena said with a frown, I know, thats why I plan to go to the Winter Workshop to investigate, but you better not] [Weiers voice became slightly heavier, Sister Lena, thats not just your teacher, shes my mother!] [Lenas tone did not soften, and she glared at you, If it were before yesterday, I wouldnt mind taking you to see the Winter Workshop. But after the mess this one beside you caused yesterday, a place like the Winter Workshop would surely have tighter security. With the obviousness of your Mutation characteristics, if discovered, its all over.] [Cat Cat fell silent for a moment.] [Traveler, you felt somewhat guilty.] [However, you did not regret what you did yesterday; after all, you had successfully saved two people.] [Traveler, you said, Theres always a way. How about this, Shopkeeper, you go check out the workshop, and Weier and I will try to find the madman from the sanitarium? We wont go in right away; well recon the area outside and look for an opportunity to slip in.] [Weiers red eyes brightened.] [She gently tugged at your clothes, giving you an approving look.] [Traveler, you continued, Moreover, if those people truly are planning something, we might only have three days left. Three days from now is Weiers birthday, which is also the time that Rat King mentioned to her.] [Lenas eyes changed as she remembered something, Now that you mention it, three days later is also the traditional start date for the Divine Tree Festival. Could there be a connection between these events?] [Weier clenched her fists, The day mom left was indeed my birthday] [So, everything once again revolves around this Divine Tree Festival. Traveler, you stood up and said, To remain passive is just a slow death, so we must strike out on our own. Lets decide to look for Weiers mother. You go to the workshop, Shopkeeper, and Weier and I will go near the sanitarium today. We will be as careful as possible.] [Traveler, you silently thought to yourself, at the very least we can repeat this day.] [And you could pet that mornings Cat Cat again. This time youll definitely hold on to her tail tighter and give her a good petting before letting go.] [Note: Indeed, youre such a scoundrel, Traveler.] [Oh Lena subconsciously nodded, and then realized she had agreed to your command.] [Traveler, you pretended not to see the p symbols popping out of the shopkeepers forehead and hastily left the restaurant to rush upstairs.] [Since you had already said what needed to be said, Shopkeeper Lena was a smart person and should understand the urgency of the current situation.] [Traveler, once upstairs, you saw that Chu Tian was still lying tranquilly in the hallway, asleep.] [Well, better let this guy sleep a little longer.] [Boom boom boom] [Traveler, you heard a cry for help from inside the door.] [Brother Luo Xi, let Aina out quickly, Sister is a big villain! Aina has decided, Im going to steal Sisters husband! Brother doesnt belong to her anymore!] Luo Xi: Chapter 121 - 121 108 Ainas Conquest Progress 100 - Part 1 ?Chapter 121: Chapter 108: Ainas Conquest Progress 100%! C Part 1 Chapter 121: Chapter 108: Ainas Conquest Progress 100%! C Part 1 [Traveler, regarding what Aina said, you feel extremely happy to be liked so much by the little girl.] [Ding! Your Happiness Level +10] Sear?h the ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Note: After all, this Wolf Eared Lolita can be legally devoured after raising her for three more years Hehehe] Damn text, get rid of the soul hall template already! [At Ainas persistent request, Traveler, you went up and fiddled with the door lock a few times.] [However, this kind of door lock cant be opened without a key once locked, and the key should be with Weier. Forcing it open would break the door.] [Traveler, even if you really want to go in and pet the Little Wolf Girl, bursting into someone elses room like that is not okay. If discovered, others might think you have indecent intentions towards beast-eared Lolitas.] [Note: Is that not the case?] [You let go and said, Brother cant open this door, so lets wait for your sister to come up.] [No, the big sister is a meanie. Just because I asked her about getting a swollen belly, why did she react so fiercely! Anyway, everyone gets a swollen belly eventually. Aina said she could take care of the baby, and Mom will definitely be very happy when she comes back] Luo Xi: No wonder the Little Wolf Girl got grounded by Cat Cat. If he were Weier, hearing his sister say so much random stuff, hed probably be pissed off too. [Traveler, you hear Aina muttering on the other side of the door, Mean big sister always bullies Aina. When Mom comes back, Aina is definitely going to tattle and make Mom spank her] [After Ainas complaint, she softly asked, Brother Luo Xi, where is sister?] [Traveler, you say, Shes still downstairs.] [After a moment of silence in the room, a muffled voice came out, Aina doesnt really understand the things you and sister talk about, but Aina knows the situation is very dangerous now. Last night, when sister looked at Aina, I felt like it was a farewell. Luckily, she came back in the morning and turned back to normal. Did you, Brother, change sister?] [Traveler, you say, Thats because your sister made up her own mind.] [Aina gently asked, Is that so Brother, will you leave us in the future?] [Traveler, you think for a moment and say, Dont worry, I wont. At least not now.] [After all, who knows about the future?] [If their mother, Liya, is still alive, it would be best for the two girls to stay with their mother. Youd like to take them with you, but you also know you cant provide them the warmth of kinship.] [Note: Is this what a principled and respectful loli-con looks like? Sobbing] Luo Xi: Damn text, go ahead and cry. While he watched the text, he found a shared bike outside and headed towards the cat caf. Although the kitten and Little Wolf sister duo sometimes fought and played noisily, their affection for each other was unusually deep. Their so-called conflicts were merely flavoring to their profound relationship. Suddenly, Luo Xi thought of something. Cat Cats First-tier Mutation ability is matter transportation. What about Aina then? Since Aina had always been Cute, and unlike Cat Cat who could kick a Minotaurs horn in one blow, Aina was genuinely that type of Little Lolita who was delicate and easy to push down, he never really thought about this question. [Traveler, you voice your doubts to Aina.] [Not sure, Aina responds. Aina doesnt seem to have any Mutation abilities, just a slightly better sense of smell maybe? Does that count?] [Perhaps it does] [Traveler, you hear a dissatisfied hum from inside, When Ainas Mutation goes deeper, shell definitely have her own abilities. Then Aina will be able to help brother and sister.] [You say, Its good for Aina to stay just as you are now. Going deeper into Mutation you dont want to become one of those monsters we saw at your place before, right?] [The Little Wolf Girls tone becomes somber, Aina doesnt want to become a monster but Aina doesnt want to just stand by and watch Brother and sister risk your lives either, like last night, leaving Aina alone here] [Traveler, you suddenly say, Do you know why Brother likes Aina?] [Note: Loli-con Traveler, are you laying all your cards out on the table?Elementary school kids are the best!] This like is not that like! Damn text you dont understand anything! And what the hell with elementary school, even if we bring it to reality, Aina is old enough for junior high, right!? [Note: That just means Wolf Eared Lolitas are the best!] You happy now, damn text [After you finish talking, the Little Wolf Girl in the room seems to crash for a long time, not responding to your question, but you can hear some slightly hurried breathing from the other side of the door.] [Traveler, seeing Aina not responding, you slowly say, Because just by standing here, and just by talking a bit, you make me very happy. Talking with Aina always gives me a feeling of being healed. You dont need to think too much about some things, Aina. Its enough if you keep your cheerful self when we come back. Is that called a medic? Actually, Brother has always felt that you and your sister dont really fit in with the Grey Stone Street environment. Probably a large part of that is due to the way your mother raised you, and another part simply because thats who you two naturally are. Brother likes you both just the way you are.] [After a long time, just when you think to leave, you hear the Little Wolf Girls soft voice from inside, Brother Luo Xi, before you became a Mutant, did you also not reject people like us? Were you of the same attitude?] [Traveler, without a second thought, you counter, Why should I reject? Arent Mutant Patients humans too?] [Ding! Ainas Favorability +20] [Ding! Ainas current Favorability is: 191 (Very Fond)] [Ding! Ainas feelings for you have Sublimated from (Simple Fondness) to (Loving Fondness)] [Description: Likes Brother and wants to always be with Brother~] [Ding! Traveler, youve successfully completed the romance conquest of an underage beast-ear Lolita with your sweet talk, and you have gained the title: Love Prodigy. Keep up the good work!] [Description: After equipping this title, beast-ear little Lolitas will be more easily moved by your sweet talk and follow you.] [Note: Weve called the police, but whether they can reach us remains unknown.] Luo Xi: This, this isnt right, is it? Ive obtained another strange title. Good grief, he had just thought about how to comfort Aina to prevent her Mutation Syndrome from deepening, and he didnt expect that he would completely win over the little wolf girl just like that? If the Cat Cat downstairs got wind of this, she wouldnt come up and go ballistic on him with her Cat Cat fists, would she? [Traveler, you feel like youve gone a bit too far, secretly winning over someones little sister. Thats kind of unacceptable, right?] [Note: It must be said that the beast-ear Lolitas in this world are too easy to deceive. Its a paradise for scumbag Travelers like you!] No way! [Traveler, you indicate that you have something to do and must leave first.] In the dim room, Aina huddled in the corner behind the door, clutching her knees. A shallow smile appeared on the girls face, her tea gold eyes shining like gold. After hearing the person outside leave, they gradually dimmed a bit. Brother Luo Xi talked so much in one breath, about things that would seem preposterous to everyone else in this world, and yet his scent remained just as steady, without a trace of falsity mixed in. Even before he became a Variant, did he truly treat Mutants and humans equally? Sister, Ainas taste is really good, isnt it? Make sure to come back together Ai Xue and Chen Momo watched Luo Xi enter the cat caf with a smile on his face, both somewhat puzzled. Luo Xi greeted them and then started cleaning up the cat litter left by the cats last night. Ai Xue whispered, Momo, do you think Senior has stumbled upon some good fortune? Chen Momo pondered, Could it be that he won the lottery? Ai Xue immediately worried, Ah? If Senior has won the lottery, will he stop working from now on? Do you think I should give some shares of the shop to Senior Chen Momo tapped Ai Xues forehead, exasperated, You silly love-brain, what are you thinking about? He hasnt even agreed yet, and youre already prepared to give everything away for nothing? Then what is it? Senior seems very happy Ai Xue wondered. Chen Momo casually said, Maybe he successfully won a little girls heart on the internet. A handsome man like him, with a few sweet words, can easily conquer a na?ve girl, so its natural to feel a sense of achievement. Senior isnt that kind of person! Ai Xue defended Luo Xi. Are you two talking about me? Luo Xi released the white cat he was holding and turned to ask from the counter. Chen Momo smiled, Nothing much, we were just saying that Senior, you really make a great figurehead for our cat caf. From yesterday to today, weve received quite a number of applications for long-term memberships. And today, we will have two new employees coming over. I see, Luo Xi nodded, Right, I need to take a day off tomorrow, Ive got something to deal with. I can make up for the shift later. The cat caf was scheduled for six days of work followed by one day off, but if they had more staff, they could potentially operate for the whole week without issues. Ai Xue immediately said, Its fine, Senior. Just let me know on WeChat if you need anything, and no need to make up for the shift later. Luo Xi: The girls kindness is too obvious; anyone with eyes can see it. Ai Xue really is good to him, so much that Luo Xi feels guilt for his recent actions. [Note: Why not just accept the kindness from the little rich girl?] Luo Xi dismissed this line of text. Damn text, even after its projected, it can still comment on the situations he encounters in reality. He continued feeding the cats while looking at the text. [Traveler, Weier is calling you downstairs.] [You think for a moment and drag Chu Tian, who is still sleeping on the ground, down with you.] [Though that guy isnt very reliable, hes still a pair of hands.] [Traveler, dragging Chu Tian downstairs, you see Weier and Lena coming out of the restaurant.] [Lena looks at you and says, Weier and I have already discussed it and decided to do as you said. Why did you bring this guy down with you?] [Traveler, you reply, Why dont you let Chu Tian follow you, restaurant owner? Youre the only one there, right?] [Lena dismisses the idea, No, thanks. I can manage the workshop by myself. Its better for him to stay with you guys; in case of danger, he can still serve as a shield.] [Weier looks at you curiously, By the way, what were you doing upstairs just now?] [Traveler, you feel a bit sheepish and lower your head.] [Dare not speak, dare not say.] Chapter 122 - 122 109 Little Aina has already become your ?Chapter 122: Chapter 109: Little Aina has already become your shape, Traveler! ~_1 Chapter 122: Chapter 109: Little Aina has already become your shape, Traveler! ~_1 [Traveler, you wouldnt dare tell Cat Cat that you completely won over her sister while she wasnt paying attention.] [But its not a big problem.] [After all, Aina is indeed still young, and as a person with moral boundaries, even though Aina likes you a lot, you wouldnt do anything perverted.] [Of course, petting Ainas wolf tail and ears is an exception!] [Note: How come the police Uncle hasnt come to take this garbage Traveler away yet?!] [Weier had a vague sense of something amiss.] [The girl glared at you and then ran upstairs to check on her sister.] sea??h th N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Traveler, you felt a bit panicked.] [No, you then thought, why panic? After all, Weier wouldnt find out anything.] Luo Xi had a thought. Perhaps the title he had just acquired could be equipped to see if it could have a miraculous effect. Could talking with Cat Cat increase her favorability towards him? [Would you like to equip the title: Romance Novice?] Fxxk, couldnt this title sound any better? [Yes] [Title equipped successfully.] [Warm reminder: An otherworldly traveler like you can equip up to three different titles at the same time. When equipping three different titles with similar functions, there is a chance to merge them into a unique title exclusive to you, Traveler.] [Ding! Detected that you can merge the following titles: Suspicious Pervert, Protector of Beast Eared Lolitas, Romance Novice. Would you like to proceed with the merge?] [Warm reminder: Merged titles cannot be restored.] Hm? Luo Xis eyelid twitched. What is this all about? His hand trembled slightly. [Yes] [Title fusion successful.] [Ding! Traveler, you have obtained a unique title: Master Strategist of Beast Eared Lolitas.] [Description: Upon equipping this title, your charisma +2 (hidden attribute), all beast-eared little lolitas favorability towards you +20, your words and actions will make them feel refreshed, deepening their impression of you and thereby causing a significant change in their feelings towards you.] [Note: Informally known as the Walking Beast Eared Lolita Peddler.] Luo Xi: Geez, hes genuinely astonished. Although the combined bonus is 20 favorability points less, it lacks the negative effect of a 10-point deduction in intelligence, which is a total win. Luo Xi wondered if it was possible to open a school for beast-eared girls in the game world? That would surely attract many beast-eared girl students. [Note: An unimagined path, garbage Traveler, you could try it, and then an entire school of lolitas would be your harem!] Ai Xue called out from the counter, Senior, go bring down the rolling gate; we can open the shop now.] Okay. Luo Xi responded and got up to draw the rolling gate. Hey Ai Xue was slightly taken aback; she nudged her best friend, Mu Mu, look, doesnt Senior seem to have become better looking? How could that be? Its you, silly girl, getting all fluttery Chen Momo wiped her eyes and looked at Luo Xis profile in surprise, It does seem like hes gotten more handsome? No, nothing else has changed, Xiao Xue, dont you think Seniors presence is very similar to the one in those photos we saw last time? Ai Xue nodded, It does seem somewhat similar. Chen Momo picked up her phone and said, Quick, lets take some photos and promote it on Moments and the school group. We have to maximize the use of todays poster boy! Unaware of the scheming of his two junior classmates, Luo Xis attention was on the text. [Traveler, Weier soon came down from upstairs, and her expression didnt seem to vary.] It seems Cat Cat still doesnt know that youve clumsily taken down her little sister. At that moment, Chu Tian finally rubbed his head and got up from the ground. When he saw you, he immediately said, Brother Luo, that Cat Lady Lolita is really vicious. She knocked me offline for over half an hour. Brother Luo, please give her a good lesson for me. Such a Female Ghost needs a proper taming to listen'' Whats a Female Ghost? Weier coldly asked from behind him. Huh? Chu Tian turned around, saw Weier looking at him, and immediately ran to Traveller your side and said, I didnt mean to call you a Female Ghost, Miss Cat Lady! Please let me off this time!'' Weier frowned and looked at you, asking again, Whats a Female Ghost? Traveller, before you could answer, Chu Tian immediately explained, It refers to those little Lolitas who are weak but love to play and can easily be killed by adults. Of course, Miss Cat Lady you definitely cant be counted as that. Weier certainly isnt a Female Ghost, at most just a proud yet cute kitty. Oh Cat Cat didnt quite understand what Chu Tian meant, but her eyes started to look dangerous. Traveller, you patted Chu Tians shoulder with sympathy. Speaking without thinking has its consequences; its time this guy learned a lesson. Alright, now that everyone is here, we can prepare to leave. Shopkeeper Lena interrupted Cat Cats accumulating wrath gauge. She spread a very large map on the table and said, The sanatorium is called St. Sound Sanatorium, located in the western part of the third ring, while the Winter Workshop is at the very eastern end of the third ring. So our directions and destinations are opposite. Promise me, all youll do today is recon. After that, come straight back, alright? Traveller, you looked down at this large map. It was full of dense architectural symbols, marking many important places within Winter Citys Inner City. From the innermost part outward, buildings formed a pattern of five rings. Along with the area around the Divine Tree, was this the origin of the six rings? Lena pointed to a spot on the outermost northern ring, Were here now; these are the two places were going to. There are many ways to get there, with routes all on the map. Just dont get lost. Traveller, you curiously pointed at a few of the buildings that were obviously luxurious in the second ring and asked, What are all these? Lena glanced and said, One is the Noah Church, the one in the middle is the Mansion of the City Lord, and theres also the Winter Legions headquarters, the Court of Justice basically, everything in the second ring belongs to high-level institutions of Winter City. Noah Church? Traveller, you looked at Cat Cat, Isnt it said that theyve already left? Weier shook her head, Im not too clear on that myself. Shopkeeper Lena said, The people from Noah Church have left, but they will come back sooner or later. Those vampires wont let go of a city like Winter City that can produce Essence Minerals. Luo Xi suddenly remembered that Purification of Necromancy task. Traveller, you asked, Wheres the house of Winter Citys Chief Justice? Lena looked at you strangely and pointed out a place, Here it is. Traveller, looking at that, you couldnt help but sigh that even within Winter Citys Inner City, the class disparity in wealth was so huge. Compared to the tiny dot that your current inn was, this Chief Justices house occupied almost the area of a small palm. Lets go, take this map with you and these scrolls are for hiding your tracks. Lena brought you a box full of scrolls. Her worried expression was like that of a mother sending off her child who is about to travel far. Ainas soft voice came from upstairs, Weier sister, Brother Luo Xi, Sister Lena, are you leaving? Yes. Aina came down from the stairs, shyly glancing at Traveller you, then at her sister, Brother Luo Xi, please take care of my sister, come back together, okay? After speaking, Aina ran back upstairs, and the shy expression on her little face made Traveller your heart skip a beat. As expected, Weier looked at you suspiciously, What exactly did you do to Aina, pervert? Traveller, you said, Spoke a few words? Note: Garbage Traveller lying! Aina has already become your shape~ Luo Xi: It made him feel as if he had done something outrageously evil. Cat Cat looked unconvinced. But when she went upstairs to check earlier, she didnt find anything suspicious. Traveller, after getting ready and changing into your gear, Lena opened the door of the inn, and as you walked out, you immediately shivered due to the outside low temperature. Cat Cat instinctively drew closer to you, grabbing your arm, then quickly retracted her hand, Why isnt your body burning hot anymore? Traveller, you took out the gentlemans hat and said, It was used too intensely yesterday; it will take another four or five hours to recover its effect. Weier drew back her head, Hmph, its all because you used it recklessly. Its the most precious thing mom left behind. If it gets ruined, be prepared to commit seppuku. Chu Tian yelled from the side, Stop flirting you two, damn Im about to freeze to death, Im racking up the cold points too quickly! (ب#) Chapter 123 - 123 110 Weier Ill let you touch my tail again ?Chapter 123: Chapter 110 Weier: Ill let you touch my tail again when I return, make sure to come back_1 Chapter 123: Chapter 110 Weier: Ill let you touch my tail again when I return, make sure to come back_1 [Lena reminded, Use the constant temperature scroll, the red one, and remember not to force it if it doesnt work. We still have three days; theres still time.] [Weier nodded her head.] [You used the constant temperature scroll, and a warm sensation dispersed the cold.] [Traveler, you tightened your cotton hat and stepped onto the road amid the wind and snow] Luo Xi got to his feet and stretched his arms. It seemed he would be walking for a while; his real self could get some serious work done in the meantime. Then Luo Xi noticed many customers watching him from behind. There were not only girls but also boys. Ai Xue and Chen Momo were at the counter, giving him encouraging smiles. Luo Xi: About two hours passed. As Luo Xi responded to customer questions and looked after the cats in the shop, he glanced at the text and almost lost his composure. [Traveler, you realized you had taken the wrong path.] [Due to the numerous branches in the city, the inns location was merely a small street. After spending an hour navigating through various roads, you only reached the fifth ring area where the buildings were much more upscale compared to the inn. Each building was about twenty meters tall.] [Note: Stupid Traveler, youre really useless, arent you? Can you only flirt with beast-eared little lolitas?] Damn Text, arent you completely useless, too?! [How did you navigate] [Weier took over your navigation duties with a speechless look after seriously re-examining the map. You moved quickly through the residential area streets, where almost no one was out.] [The wind and snow covered your tracks, and with scant pedestrians around, you hastened your pace without worries.] [Squeak, squeak] [Traveler, you heard the sound of mice squeaking behind you.] [When you looked back, you found nothing.] [You continued to advance] Senior, come and meet our two new employees. Coming. Around twelve oclock, two new staff members entered the shop, and Ai Xue called Luo Xi over to meet them, also ordering some lunch takeaway. With more hands on deck, they could now finish work earlier. And it was during this lunch break that their in-game counterparts finally reached their destination. [Traveler, after traversing many opulent building complexes and evading the patrols on the streets, you finally located the sanatorium marked on the map.] [Covering an area of several hundred acres, you could tell from its exterior decorations that the central sanatorium was of a solemn and dignified type, not for the average person to afford.] [Chu Tian hugged his arms, shivering and chattering his teeth, Damn, this constant temperature scrolls effect must be wearing off, arent you guys cold? My cold level is skyrocketing, minus fifty or sixty degrees; its comparable to the temperatures at the Poles at our place.] [Traveler, you said, Its bearable, not very cold; just hang in there for a bit. Lets quickly scout around the area before finding a place to rest.] [Perhaps due to the Dragon Species factor within you, even without the Furnace Cores operation, you were capable of resisting the sheer cold for quite a while.] [Q, Weier unwrapped her scarf and let out a soft sneeze, then took out a tissue and wiped her nose, instantly turning her small nose rosy.] [Traveler, you turned back and asked, Weier, do you need another constant temperature scroll? Or maybe some more clothes?] [Chu Tian looked at you with a dazed expression, Brother Luo, thats a double standard!] [Note: True to form, Loli-con Traveler!] Luo Xi: A smelly man or my Cat Cat, obviously my Cat Cat is more important! [Weier rolled her eyes at you and said, Im not that fragile. Lets quickly split up and scout the surroundings to see if theres any chance of sneaking in.] [Traveler, no more words were exchanged, and the three of you went your separate ways, each heading in different directions.] [There were far more guards patrolling this area than before, so to avoid detection by the suspicious guards, Traveler, you employed the shop owners stealth and lightness scrolls and stayed away from the perimeter wall.] [Its a wonder how the shop owner managed to make these functional scrolls.] Luo Xi pondered if these scrolls could be used in the real world and whether they could be auctioned or traded for something else. [Traveler, after spending twenty minutes surveying, you returned to the original spot.] Sarch* The N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Weier and Chu Tian also reappeared soon after, and the three of you entered a small snowy thicket about a hundred meters from the sanatorium.] [Traveler, you asked, Cat Cat, have you tried getting in?] [Weier shook her head at you and said, I can easily pass through the outer wall of the sanatorium, but there are more guards inside, and the wall is too far from the main building. There surely must be strategies to counter stealth skills; its too easy to get spotted on the way in.] [Chu Tian complained, Why do you guys even want to enter this place? Is there some critical mission clue or something?] [Sort of, you said as the Traveler.] [In that case Chu Tian suggested, How about we just go for it again like yesterday, Brother Luo, cover our faces and break in? We could let Cat Lady wait outside for our good news.] [No way! Weier snapped, Wasnt once enough? You want to risk it again? Do you think you can be so lucky to escape unscathed every time?] Chapter 124 - 124 110 Wei’er When you return I will touch ?Chapter 124: Chapter 110 Weier: When you return, I will touch your tail again, you have to come back_2 Chapter 124: Chapter 110 Weier: When you return, I will touch your tail again, you have to come back_2 [Chu Tian wanted to argue, but after seeing Weiers angry eyes, he obediently shut his mouth.] [However, Traveler, you overhear Chu Tian murmuring softly, What use is there in being fierce, when youve still got thrashed by my Brother Luo? Shedding so much fur, truly worthy of Brother Luo, even managing to handle that Female Ghost so well.]] Luo Xi: . Maybe I should strip this blabbermouth naked and leave him in the snowy wilderness. [Traveler, you suddenly remember that you and Chu Tian dont need to worry as much as Weier.] [Right now, all you need is to be able to enter the sanatorium, find that person to get the relevant information. After all, everything else is something you can redo.]] [Traveler, you look at Weier, her face mostly hidden beneath her scarf, and say, Cat Cat, do you believe me?] [Ah Weier is caught off guard by your sudden question. She replies, What do you mean, why should I believe you]] Sear?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [As always, the proud and tsundere kitty.] [Traveler, you pull out the Dream Sceptre from your pack and hand it to Weier, saying, Chu Tian and I will cause a distraction outside to buy you some time. Just sneak in and find that person. This staff can control someone; it might be useful for you.]] [Without a second thought, Weier retorts, That plan is even worse! What are you guys thinking? Have you all forgotten what Sister Laina said?]] [Ding! Weiers Anger Value towards you +10]] [Traveler, you know that Weiers reluctance is because she doesnt believe you can die and resurrect. So you just need to show her.]] [You say, Chu Tian, show us the Resurrection Technique of the deceased.]] [Oh, okay no, wait, why dont you perform it? Brother Luo, dont you know that aside from those already resigned to death, its almost impossible for us here to take our own lives!]] [Traveler, you remain noncommittal.] [Even if you deceive your subconscious into thinking this is all just a game, unless you have the courage to end it all in reality, you wont be able to do it here.] Luo Xi rubbed his temples and looked up at the clock in the store. Its half past twelve. This Cat Cat is really stubborn, not believing a thing. But, to be fair, if someone suddenly came up to him claiming he could resurrect after dying, he wouldnt believe it either. Ai Xue, Im going to rest a bit. You guys start eating when the food arrives, sorry. Luo Xi quietly told Ai Xue at the counter then sat down on the sofa and closed his eyes. [Do you want to use the Dream Synchronization Module?] [Yes] Half an hour, I wonder if thats enough for Weier to go in and find someone, and how long I can last. Ai Xue and Chen Momo looked at Luo Xis sleeping face and the cats gathered around him, momentarily taken aback. Chen Momo swallowed hard, Xiao Xue, if I ever snatch him away, dont blame me, okay? You dare! Ai Xue pretended to strangle her best friends neck and said with feigned anger, Then Ill have to go down with you! Luo Xi twitched his eyebrows, feeling the oncoming cold wind. Through the snow, the mist seems to have dissipated quite a bit, and he sees the girl opposite staring at him. Luo Xi snapped back to reality and rushed to say, Listen, Weier, I dont have much time now. Chu Tian and I will cause chaos here, drawing the enemys attention. You take the chance to find that person. Trust me! Can you? You promised to consider my request this morning, so I absolutely wont lie to you! Weier fell silent. Her intuition told her Luo Xi was not lying, but his words completely contradicted her common sense. How could anyone resurrect? Chu Tian clucked his tongue, Brother Luo, are you using Dream Synchronization? Then Ill join in, too. Today, Ill lay down my life for a noble cause! After all, it was me who dragged you into this mess yesterday. Thank you. Luo Xi extended his hand to the side. Suddenly, with a flash of light, the mechanical armor which had caused a major stir in Winter City the day before appeared silently amidst the snow. Now its past twelve oclock, and the quiet phase of the Yuan Su Furnace Core should also be over. Damn Brother Luo, is this your trump card? Chu Tians eyes shone, How about letting me drive it this time? Ill pay you 1000w offline, alright? If you sell it to me, Ill give you a billionno, three billion! Because of the special nature of the game, as long as something can be stored in the pack, it can be brought into reality. The value of this otherworldly technology must be worth more than three billion at present. Of course, he just wanted to experience the joy of operating a Gundam. Dream on. Luo Xi patted Weiers shoulder and said with a light smile, Dont overthink it, just go find that person. Chu Tian and I will do our best to buy you time. Its that simple. Dont worry, nothing will happen to either of us. Ready to move out, Brother Chu! Luo Xi took out his cap, opened the cockpit of the armor, and got in. As the hat transformed into runes and disappeared into the darkness, funneling into the interior of the armor, the temperature within Spark rapidly began to soar. [The power core has been loaded.]] [Mithril mechanisms running normally.] [Visual/Perception/Limb/Spirit synchronization modules activated.] Weier looked up at the armor, whispering to the spot where its eyes would be, Dont die, okay? When you get back, I might let you touch my tail a couple more times, you pervert.] After speaking, Weier lowered her head and used an invisibility scroll, vanishing from sight. Luo Xi: !!! Now I feel like I cant afford to die. Chu Tian showed an envious expression. He doesnt know where Brother Luo found such unbelievable luck. Not many days into the game, and hes got himself such great stuff along with two Lolitas with excellent relationships. Could it be that the armor was also a gift from this Cat Lady? Why hasnt he encountered a wealthy Lolita? Forget it, hes not interested in Lolitas anyway. Between green Lolitas and mature ladies, hell choose the latter. Hell have to think of a way to win over that Rabbit Ear Lady when he gets back. Luo Xi stared into the distance at the sanatorium, taking a deep breath. Spark, are you there? Right here! As golden specks gathered in the cockpit, a tiny, golden-haired Lolita figurine no more than ten centimeters tall materialized on Luo Xis shoulder, her voice milky but with a hint of mechanical timbre. Master is using Spark so soon again! Its so great! Spark was worried that after being used once, Master might think Sparks all battered and no good, and would never use Spark again. Master, pour your strength into Spark quickly! Make Spark full! Hot! Roaring and surging! Luo Xi: Why does this mechanical armor Elfs words sound so odd? Chapter 125 - 125 111 Hentai Traveler what do you want to do ?Chapter 125: Chapter 111: Hentai Traveler, what do you want to do with your armor?! _1 Chapter 125: Chapter 111: Hentai Traveler, what do you want to do with your armor?! _1 Master, masters strength, Spark is so thirsty for masters strength, you dont have to worry about breaking Spark, just use Spark as much as you like~ The little elf Sparks legs, adorned with colorful silk, were shaking non-stop at the corner of Luo Xis eye. Luo Xi felt a bit numb hearing it. Come to think of it, hadnt Sparks fluency of speech improved compared to yesterday? However, the little guy was still somewhat adorable. It felt like if it could materialize, it would be worth an entire wall of figures. To casually break something like that, the very thought made him somewhat reluctant. He wondered whether there would be a way to preserve her after the power armor was destroyed. [Note: Loli-con Traveler, what exactly are you planning to do once she materializes? You wouldnt be thinking of entering the machine in three parts, would you? Youre such a pervert!] Damn Text, youre the pervert! Luo Xi operated the Yuan Su within his body with an expressionless face. The Furnace Core, hidden somewhere within the armor, allowed him to establish a cycle of Yuan Su operation with the armor. Consequently, his field of view lit up, the hazy fog dispersed, and his visibility greatly improved. Within his body, the factor trait known as Explosive Burning was activated prematurely once again. After flowing through the Furnace Core, scorching black and red flames seeped through the surface of the armor, forming an aura as if it were visible. Although the heat was much less than the last time the armors power load was activated, using it casually now to buy some time seemed feasible, right? [Warm Reminder: Traveler, if you use this ability multiple times, it may lead to a shift in the Factor Concentration within your body.] Luo Xi paused slightly. It didnt matter anymore. If Sublimation was a distant prospect, Mutation could still be a choice for strengthening his power in the short term. Actually, he had a bold idea now. What kind of changes would occur if he used the opportunity to upgrade his talent on the Variant? St. Sound Sanatorium. In the heavy snow, Gasany, leading a group of soldiers who were somewhat drowsy, wondered what they would do after completing todays patrol mission. Gasany was a minor commander in the Sanatoriums guard, in charge of over thirty elite soldiers of the Winter Legion and more than a hundred ordinary soldiers. Unlike the smelly fish and rotten shrimp that gathered in the Variant territory yesterday, the elite soldiers here each possessed First-tier Sublimation strength, with a few squad leaders also having Second-tier strength. As for himself, he had finally gathered the materials needed for Tier advancement. In a little while, once his leave was approved, he could go to a quiet place to advance from a Second-tier Snowstorm Knight to a Great Winter Knight. Winter Knight, Winter Skill Practitioner, Winter Soldier. These were the Omens granted by the Winter Divine Tree, spawning three similar yet different paths of Sublimation, which could actually be considered as one. The majority of the Winter Legions members followed this Sublimation path. Of course, there were also those who followed other paths, but filling in the subsequent Omen and finding Sublimation materials was troublesome. Gasany muttered to himself, Once Ive completed my promotion, I should be transferred out of here, right? Theres no fun playing with those old men and women in this godforsaken place. Heard there was a big mess out in the Sixth Ring yesterday. Those incompetents, better to let me suppress it. Might even score some merit and trade for resources to stabilize my Tier position. Boom! A violent noise instantly pulled Gasany back from his fantasies to reality. At the same time, soldiers started shouting, Damn! What the hell is that thing? Its ramming into the Sanatoriums main gate! Its an attack, an attack! Blow the whistle! An old model of power armor, its the Variant from yesterdays rumors! The armored murderer! Gasany squinted his eyes. sea??h th ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. At the Sanatoriums gate, somehow, a three-meter-tall black armor appeared and kept ramming into the iron gate, instantly sending a few guards who were bracing the gate flying along with the gate itself. Boom! With a loud bang, the iron gate, as if by sheer coincidence, fell right in front of Gasany. Gasany was instantly furious. Courting death! How dare he! This is my territory! However, the powered armor Seeing the dark and towering exoskeleton, Gasany also felt a shiver run down his spine. He had heard that the Snowstorm Knight who died in yesterdays turmoil was sliced into two by the operator of this armor, dead beyond dead. To think that they couldnt find him for a whole day was outrageous; he almost suspected his colleagues were sleeping on the job. Whats more outrageous was that just a day apart, why the damn armor was attacking this place specifically? The sanatorium didnt have anything worth their taking. Here were just some old people who were dying or retired, and the disabled from the legion. Should I join in? Gasany pondered for a moment. First, let his subordinates have a go to test the waters, and for his own safety, he decided to wait and watch how capable the armor operator was in combat. Then, he saw a skulking figure dash out from behind the armor, frantically searching the body of a fallen guard. ? What kind of combination was this? A hundred meters or so from the main gate. Upon hearing the piercing flute sound, Weier glanced in that direction and muttered, Its already started Luo Xi, you idiot, there was no need to push this hard. Even if you can resurrect, that must come at an unimaginably heavy price, right? The nearby guards had already started running towards that area. Weier walked on as if nothing was happening. Once her foot stepped on a cobblestone on the path, the invisibility effect added to her by scrolls instantly vanished. As expected, low-tier invisibility wont work in a place like this, huh? Luckily, everyone had already left. Weier, like a cat, easily sneaked through various obstacles and cover, swiftly arriving in front of the massive sanatorium building. She seemed to be at the back of the sanatorium, judging by the black smoke rising above, likely indicating the location of the cafeteria. Weier twitched her nose. She didnt have as strong a sense of smell as Aina, but it was still much better than the average persons. The scent of food. The girl placed her hand on the wall, which started to ripple like water. Weier slowly walked in. Two seconds later, enticing aromas entered her nostrils, along with a steamy, bustling kitchen in the cafeteria. What met her eyes was an empty space, with only the countless dishes still being steamed and stirred in the pots. All kinds of meats and vegetables that she couldnt even recognize. Had everyone evacuated? She had to hurry and find the one named Kilis. She couldnt waste the time Luo Xi and the others were buying with their lives. Passing by the grill, Weier casually grabbed a roasted chicken and wrapped it in a white cloth. Might as well treat that perverted one to this But it felt a bit excessive, hmm, at most Ill let him touch my tail for an extra ten seconds, no more. So, pervert, you better not die. Chapter 126 - 126 112 Master feel free to use me Spark wants ?Chapter 126: Chapter 112 Master, feel free to use me! Spark wants to burn hot and scorching Strength~_1 Chapter 126: Chapter 112 Master, feel free to use me! Spark wants to burn hot and scorching Strength~_1 Weier didnt know where to find the guy she was looking for. The sanatorium was so large, aimlessly searching wouldnt do, not to mention half an hour, even double the time probably wouldnt suffice. The girl pulled out the staff from her embrace, and gripped it in her hand. This staff, inlaid with an expensive purple-colored refined Essence, was left in her home by those enemies from the Church of Truth that night. After being taken away by Luo Xi, now it was back in her hands. Only a Skill Practitioner could fully utilize a staffs functionality. Others, even if they could use it, would only be able to utilize its attached fixed skills. Of course, for Weier, that was enough. She had to find an aide or staff member here first. As Weier passed by the big pots, she saw whatever she thought looked tasty and casually put some in her white cloth sack. If that pervert later refused to eat, she could take it back for her sister to snack on. No loss either way. The back kitchens door was open. Weier confirmed that no one was outside before she stepped out and made her way along a winding corridor. Her petite frame moved like a real cat, unnoticeable in her comings and goings. Two minutes later. Found it. Weier spotted a woman in a white outfit, who was currently hiding behind a large pillar, curling up her body. The young girl quietly crept behind the woman. Then she reached out and, before the woman could scream, covered her mouth tightly and said coldly, Are you an employee here? The woman was scared half to death, her body went limp as she could only nod repeatedly. Answer my questions, and if you dare make any other noise, I will kill you first before I run away, understand? Mmdont be rash, theres nothing I wont give you Weier slightly loosened her hand covering the womans mouth, noticing that she did not attempt to struggle or cry out, and asked, Do you know Kilis? I dont know um, no, I do know As Weiers hand moved to the womans neck, the woman changed her tune halfway through. Kilis has mental issues. Although hes also a retired officer, he cant stay with those lords, so hes in a sickroom deep in the sanatorium. Weier made her voice sound cold and ruthless, Wheres the sickroom? Lead the way. Im warning you not to try anything sneaky, unless you want to die. Dont kill me, I have a ten-year-old child at home who needs me. I definitely wont shout for help. What about your colleagues? The woman hesitated for a moment before saying, Theyve gone to the shelter Sear?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Weier frowned and asked, Then why didnt you go? The womans eyes revealed a trace of desolation as she said, Most who work here are either rich or noble. I was just lucky to get in. They look down on me and wouldnt let me into the shelter. Weiers hand paused for a moment, but she continued fiercely, I dont care about all that, just hurry up and take me to that sickroom. Three minutes later. Guided by the woman, deep within the sanatorium, Weier finally arrived at the sickroom and saw the man called Kilis. The entire way there had been unimpeded, and she almost found it magical. Did everyone really hide in the shelter? There were a total of more than a dozen people in the entire sickroom, each in their individual small room, relatively comfortable, and without the decayed, moldy smell that the young girl had anticipated. The woman opened a door and pointed at the man on the bed, saying, Thats Kilis. He used to be a major captain of the Winter Legion, now hes nothing but a complete madman. I dont know what you want with him, but if youre looking to get something valuable out of him, you might as well take advantage of the commotion your companion is causing outside and move the valuable items from the sanatoriumit would be more straightforward. Weier said strangely, Arent you a worker at St. Sound Sanatorium? Why are you advising me to steal things from here? The woman laughed awkwardly, Im just a janitor. I dont like this place. They dont treat me as one of them, they insult me and my child every day Weier: Sorry, even though youve been cooperative, you should take a little nap. With a gentle chop of her hand, the girl struck the womans neck, knocking her out cold. Then, Weier turned to the man on the bed: Kilis. Looking disheveled, the man was hunched in the corner of the bed. At the sound of his name, he screamed as if hed seen a ghost. Aaahhh Weier said with a frown, Dont play crazy to fool me. Do you still remember what happened on the night of the Divine Tree Festival three years ago? Aaahhh Weier could only pick up the staff. The Essence within her communicated with the runes on the staff, and one of the inscribed skills was thus activated. Pyschic SkillPuppet Dream, a skill that controls others wills. A beam of purple light instantly entered the mans head. He quieted down at once. Weier asked in a deep voice, Who are you? Aaahhh The response to Weier was still a heartbreaking scream with incoherent meaning. Ah. Weier sighed softly. Luo Xis guess was wrong. This guy wasnt pretending to be mad. He had truly lost his mind. So even though she had controlled his mind with the magic staff, all she got were ravings. Just as the girl was about to give up and leave early, calling those two idiots to leave with her, the mans scream suddenly stopped. A hoarse voice, akin to a leaking bellows, spilled from the mans throat: Who are you Why do you seek me to ask this question? Weier turned back in astonishment, Have you been pretending all along? The man pointed to his head and said, I wasnt pretending, my mind really was unclear. It was that thing you were using in your hand that made me a bit lucid. Weier held the staff horizontally in front of her and said coldly, Then why werent you controlled? I used to be a second-tier storm warrior, young lady. With your strength, even if you borrowed the skill on the staff, you probably cant control me, right? The mans eyes were murky as he raised his head, Why are you seeking the truth about that day? If you dont tell me why, I wont tell you anything. Weier stated coldly, If I told you that I would die if I dont pursue the truth about that day, would you believe me? I believe. Weier: I feel my lucidity wont last much longer, let me give you a brief description. The man said solemnly, The Divine Tree Festival that day was going well, but suddenly, many of the participants attacked the old city owner and threw him into the Divine Tree. Then something like a book flew out from the Divine Tree, and a woman eventually snatched the book. She then fought with another group of people. In the end, I dont know what happened, but it seemed like a major skill was used? Anyway, a lot of people vanished on the spot, and after that, I knew nothing and lived in a daze until now. Weiers breathing quickened, What was the womans name? Let me think. The man frowned in thought. Time passed by every second. Man: I remember now, her name was Liya, a special Skill Master employed by the Mansion of the City Lord. It seems the old city owner had her lead a project related to Power Armor. Of course, I dont know anything beyond that. Weier was moved. So was that special scroll left at home a commission from the old city owner? What was the relationship between my mother and the old city owner? What happened between her and Rat King Nos? The more she knew, the more there seemed to be unknown, deepening the mystery surrounding her mother. So do you know about Rat King Nos from Grey Stone Street Weier stopped her question. It was needless. The mans eyes had returned to that lifeless state without sparkle. She exited the room, dragged the fainted woman into the hallway, and quickly left the place. After Weier left, the woman slowly got up from the ground, tearing off a layer of fake skin on her face to reveal a new, beautiful visage. She gazed thoughtfully at Kiliss room. So it was the True Canon of the Winter Divine Tree they were fighting over in the end? But isnt that something only the recognized bloodline of the Shining Country can use and control? Its useless even if they get it, isnt it? And those people are quite impressive, too. I sneaked in with difficulty, completely unable to figure out how to enter the ward without others seeing. Yet they just barged in. Brother Luo, let me have a go; I want some fun too! Chu Tian was chased by several soldiers, leading them to Luo Xi, who blasted them away with a slash. Dream on! Luo Xi cursed, wielding his large blade to fend off several guards combined attack, sending them flying. These people were much stronger than the weak dogs from the day before. His Power Armor could withstand one or two, but with more numbers, he quickly felt intense pressure. The small elf floated in front of Luo Xi, swinging her legs and said: Master, if it really comes down to it, lets initiate the overload. Luo Xi paused and asked, Will you disappear if the armor is damaged? Spark shook her head, Spark isnt afraid of disappearing. Since Masters strength entered Sparks body, Spark has been longing for the day to vanish under Masters burning heat. Spark never wants to return to that dusty corner again. So Master, dont pity Spark anymore; use Spark as you wish! Chapter 127 - 127 113 If you pet my tail can I resurrect ?Chapter 127: Chapter 113: If you pet my tail, can I resurrect then_1? Chapter 127: Chapter 113: If you pet my tail, can I resurrect then_1? Gasany looked at the old power armor charging wildly across the sanatorium yard as if no one were present. A team of guards was chased everywhere. Why did he feel that the controller inside the armor wasnt very strong? At least not as strong as described in yesterdays incident. Where are the other guards? Why havent they shown up yet? Gasany looked into the distance. Oh, they were all like him, hiding in the corners and watching from afar. From start to finish, only the honest ones had rushed in. After all, most of the elite soldiers who came to the sanatorium were shrewd, and no one wanted to rush out to be cannon fodder without reaching the third tier; humans were not made of steel and couldnt directly contend with armor. Gasany finally couldnt stand it anymore. Its one thing for me as a leader to watch, but you subordinates just spectate? Whats your position, and whats mine? Gasany raised his palm, and as an icy blue inscription appeared, snow and wind gathered in his hand, an ice crystal spear taking shape, then he hurled it forcefully. Take him down for me! Immediately, as the captain of the guards took action, the rest of the guards finally started to move. Luo Xi felt a chilling intent coming at him from the side, and he quickly turned and swung his sword, the blade, engulfed in hot black and red flames, collided with the ice crystal spear, creating a vast expanse of mist and a thunderous collision sound in an instant. Brother Luo, I feel like I cant run anymore! How much longer do we need to block? These guys seem to be all coming at once, I really cant hold on. Chu Tian was so exhausted that he couldnt move; he took deep breaths and shouted loudly at Luo Xi. The agility bestowed by his talents greatly enhanced his dodging ability, but his physical strength did not improve much, so he could not engage in high-intensity activity for too long. Luo Xi took a brief look at the massive main building of the sanatorium. He wondered if Weier had found anyone yet. The guards here all seemed to be experts, and now it looked like they werent planning to go one by one; if they came all at once, with his current abilities, he was afraid he would be captured within minutes. Spark, initiate the furnace core overload. The little fairy sat on Luo Xis shoulder, her face full of joy: Then please pour all your strength into the inside of Spark! Spark has been looking forward to it! The hot, scalding strength of yours! Luo Xis eyelid twitched, Where did you learn this speech template, Spark? Why does it sound weirder the more I listen? Huh? What does Master mean? The words Spark speaks are all of Sparks will. Wasnt it Master who brought Spark out of ignorance? Everything about Spark now is a gift from Master, ooh, Masters strength is so warm and delicious~ Luo Xi: This power armor fairys words were always skewed, making it impossible not to misinterpret them. If others found out, they would definitely think he was a pervert who wouldnt even spare his own onboard AI. [Note: Isnt the traveler a loli-con pervert?] I dont need damn text interrupting at critical moments! After the loss of Yuan Su inside his body, the text refreshed with a new message. [Yuan Su Furnace CoreOverload Initiated (Duration 3 minutes)] [Ding! Traveler, your Essence Power Armor has gained a temporary +300% boost to all its power, lasting for 3 minutes. After the boost ends, the Yuan Su Furnace Core will enter a temporary dormant state, and the power armor will suffer some damage.] As the circulation of Yuan Su entered his body, Luo Xi instantly felt as if he had been injected with an adrenaline shot, and his entire body tensed up. Crack The arm of the armor made a cracking noise. A small piece of black outer shell finally fell off, burnt by the black and red fierce flames that burst forth. Is this the damage to the armor? A few burly guards rushed up, blocking his sword and fists with large shields, trying to pin him down. The next moment, they were all hit by the armor and sent flying, wrapped in the fierce flames and wailing as they rolled in the snow. Gasanys pupils contracted sharply; he immediately noticed the problem with the armor, Get away from it! Just form a circle and attack from a distance. It has overloaded its power core and is now in a berserk state. No matter how many come, they wont be able to subdue it. Just wait for the time to pass, and it will naturally weaken! Intense heat began to steam up the surrounding snow and ice, quickly filling the entire courtyard with fog. All the soldiers dared not get close to the desperately fighting power armor anymore. Brother Luo, is this the second stage? Chu Tian shouted in shock: Damn, why do I feel like were playing a different game? Where the hell did you get this Bang Before Chu Tian could finish speaking, an ice crystal spear precisely struck his chest, pinning him to the ground, then various ice-related skills and spears burst toward the armor, but were all blocked by the black and red fierce flames. Luo Xi: For some reason, even though he knew Chu Tian could resurrect at any time if he died, he still felt a little uncomfortable. These soldiers were indeed stronger than yesterdays; they knew the weakness of his power armor, which had no long-range attack capability. Even with the core overloaded, he could only burst into sprinting speed and could not chase after enemies for an extended time. The flexibility of the armor was even worse. But it was enough. What Luo Xi needed to do was not to kill the enemy but to delay. Cat Cat, hurry up. If you dont hurry, once the three minutes of transformation are over, I guess Ill have no way out. Gasany was very satisfied watching the power armor trapped in the encirclement. Although he didnt know why the controller of the armor attacked St. Sound Sanatorium, as long as he captured it, he would receive a huge reward. Quickly, the three minutes passed. When the aura on the armor vanished, Gasany waved his hand, and all the guards rushed up eagerly. Squeak The hatch suddenly opened. In full view of everyone, a person wrapped in clothes jumped down from inside the armor, stretched out their hand, and with a flash of white light, the armor disappeared from the ground. This phenomenon left all onlookers dumbfounded. Gasany was first shocked, then overjoyed. So this is how the armor vanished from the city. This extremely special mutation skill, if he could catch it alive and present it to the City Owner, how much military merit would that be worth? Capture him alive! Whoever catches him, I personally reward them with 100 gold coins! Capture me alive? That will definitely not be possible. Luo Xi took a deep breath. Would you like to use the talent upgrade effect on the talent: Variant? Yes. With the existence of the ability to rewind, there was no harm in trying. He wanted to see what kind of enhancement this purple talent would gain after being upgraded. Ding! Talent effect is upgrading Upgrade successful. Traveler, your talent: Variant (Purple/Epic) has been enhanced. Ding! The Mutant Factors within your body have been refined, and the source of the factors has been deciphered: Red Dragon SpeciesTier FiveBlack Abyss Flame Dragon. Ding! Your strength +10, physique +10, spirit +4, intelligence +4, and your skill resistance +10%. Ding! Traveler, your Factor Concentration has increased! 1.03%1.59% You have acquired the skill: Melting Fire. Description: Enables your body to produce flames with temperatures up to 1200 degrees (consumes Yuan Su). Luo Xi looked at the text in front of him, and a hint of red emanated from his originally black pupils. It seemed the effects werent bad? However, his head felt a bit itchy, and tinglingsurely his horns werent growing longer? Speaking of which, did the talent Variant really count as a purely negative talent? Sublimation and Mutation, the two distinct pathways to Transcendence in this world. Since the Path of Mutant Transcendence existed, it must certainly have its own reason for existence. While Luo Xi was distracted, someone had already charged forward, attempting to pin him down. He brandished his fine steel long knife and swung at the attacker. Then, as the attacker recoiled, Luo Xi bolted toward the sanatoriums exterior. This talent effect had only increased some basic attributes and granted one skill; it wasnt an overpowered cheat that could defeat everything instantly. Facing so many people, if he didnt want to die, his only option was to take to his heels and run. But the soldiers already blocked the entrance of the sanatorium. Then, he would have to break through by force! Weier might still be inside. Whatever he did now was just buying time for the enemy, attracting many of them to chase him. Suddenly, Luo Xi felt an intense sense of danger. Ding! Talent: Sixth Sense has been triggered. A scene appeared out of nowhere in his mind. He saw himself, the moment he was about to leave, being attacked by an old man with a shady face who held a blue crystal skill staff. The gate was not an option? Luo Xi decisively stopped and bolted towards the nearby wall. Someone from behind tried to grab him but withdrew immediately after being scorched by the flames erupting from his body. Luo Xi looked annoyed at his clothes, which were burning merrily. Does the skill Melting Fire even burn ones own clothes?! Upon finally reaching the wall, Luo Xi was about to break through when he was overwhelmed by an intense sense of crisis once more. But this time he had no choice. The guards and some elite soldiers with strong auras had already caught up. Luo Xi smashed through the iron bars and fell onto the snow-covered ground outside the sanatoriums wall. Soul Shatter. Lord, this is unwise! After an old voice and frantic shouts, Luo Xi suddenly felt a heavy blow to his back. He barely turned his head and saw that same old man with the staff. Ding! Youve been hit by a Third-tier spirit skillLife Shatter. Due to your physique and magic characteristics resistance, you will die in one minute. Luo Xi: Absurd, after all this delaying, an old bastard suddenly came out and hit him hard. But Third-tier A Third-tier Skill Practitioner was this powerful? Weier had also said that only Origin Beasts of Tier Three and above were true calamities. Suddenly, a wall of earth rose from the ground, separating him from his pursuers. Idiot! You were just supposed to stall, not go get yourself killed! A petite figure crouched down, picked up Luo Xi, and within a few seconds, employed numerous scrolls to conceal their presences and hurriedly fled into the distance. Luo Xi, feeling the softness of the girl holding him, said in surprise, Cat Cat, you found someone? Sar?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Weier immediately responded, Yes, lets not talk about that now. How is your body? Luo Xi looked wistfully at the sky. Im likely about to die. Weier paused, then said, Liar, youre still fine Hey, what exactly did you get hit with? Dont you die on me! The girl felt the life force of the young man in her arms rapidly ebbing away. Luo Xi too felt the life slipping from his body. He struggled to open his eyes and heard the sound of his body breaking apart, like shattering ceramic it was the manifestation of a Third-tier skill destroying his vitality. You pervert, dont die Weiers almost pleading cry echoed, Luo Xi, can you still hear me? Didnt you say you could resurrect? Then hurry up and resurrect! Damn, Im not dead yet, stupid Cat Cat, how am I supposed to resurrect? Let me pet your tail a few times, and I should probably be able to resurrect A warm, fluffy cat tail appeared in Luo Xis hand. Luo Xi: He gently pinched and petted it generously. Ding! Your Happiness Level +30. Note: Damn Traveler, you really are a cheat! In the girls profound sadness, the life force of the young man in her arms quickly disappeared, and his body turned into countless fragments. With a gust of cold wind, they scattered into nothingness. Chapter 128 - 128 114 Manipulating a Girls Feelings is the ?Chapter 128: Chapter 114: Manipulating a Girls Feelings is the Most Perverted Thing_1 Chapter 128: Chapter 114: Manipulating a Girls Feelings is the Most Perverted Thing_1 [Traveler, you have died.] At the moment Luo Xis consciousness plunged into darkness, he instinctively tried to open his eyes, and then brightness entered them once again. Luo Xi was lying on the sofa, blinking. A little dazed. The sense of death this time was quite real. So real that he felt life force still slipping away from his body even now. Crack! As Luo Xi supported himself on the sofa to get up, a crisp sound followed, and he ended up punching a big hole in the sofa behind him, startling all the cats beside him, their fur standing on end. Ai Xue and Chen Momo, who were eating takeout behind the counter, heard the noise, stood up to look, and were instantly baffled. Why did the sofa suddenly split open? Luo Xi looked at his arm speechlessly. His qilin arm had been enhanced again. The enhancement of attributes was a fundamental physical reinforcement, thus the synchronization between the two worlds, equally reflecting on the him in this world. After the upgrade of his Variant talent, here he also obtained a 10-point increase in strength. The sudden surge in power made his body, which could once control its strength precisely, a little unaccustomed again. Seeing Ai Xue and Chen Momo coming over, Luo Xi quickly said, Ill pay for the sofa Ai Xue didnt even glance at the sofa but grabbed Luo Xis hand to look at it, righteously indignant, Senior, are you alright? What a shoddy product this sofa is, it collapsed just from sleeping on it, thank goodness we have surveillance in the shop! Im going to copy the video later and send it to the manufacturer; they must compensate us! And for your emotional distress as well! Luo Xi: Alright. After confirming Luo Xi was uninjured, Ai Xue breathed a sigh of relief, Then come and have a meal, Senior. The takeout has been here for ten minutes already, it will get cold if you dont eat it soon. Sure, thanks. Luo Xi went to the front counter and grabbed a box of food. While eating, he looked at the text. [Traveler, you have died.] [Summary of death] [Poor traveler, this death has taught you the strength of a Third-tier Skill Practitioner, the power at the same level as a Calamity-tier Origin Beast. Dont think you are strong just because youve killed some First-tier weaklings.] [You can choose to Resurrect at the last event point, or at a safe location.] [Talent: MoonflowZero Point has been triggered.] [Do you wish to use it?] [No] Since Weier had received the message, even if he was to use Moonflow to rewind, he must first understand what the girl knew. However, what about resurrecting at the last event node? Luo Xi was taken aback. Wait, wasnt the last event node at the sanatorium? If he were to resurrect there, wouldnt that be walking into the jaws of death? And as for the safe location, Luo Xi remembered that he had once set the safe location in the basement of Weiers home. What use was it to Resurrect outside the city now? You cant just Resurrect outside and then not be able to get back in, forced to do nothing but stare at the wall, right? Luo Xi stroked his chin, pondering for a while. Forget it, Ill just see what happens if I resurrect in an hour or two. Coming back later, Cat Cat probably wont blame me, right? One and a half hours later. Luo Xi figured it was about time. [Traveler, you have resurrected at the last event node.] [You appear outside the sanatoriums outer wall.] [The place is deserted now, with only one section of the exterior wall, temporarily patched up, and many scattered piles of snow.] Luo Xi nodded. Just as he had expected. If he had resurrected immediately after death before, he would probably have been captured on the spot, and then the fun would begin. He also wonders whether Chu Tian managed to resurrect, or if he had set a safe point somewhere? [Traveler, you must now return to Shopkeeper Lenas inn.] [You took out the map, found the nearest route, and began your journey back.] .. Weier didnt know how she managed to return to the six-ring areas inn. The girl staggered through the wind and snow, bumping into countless obstacles, but she passed right through them with her ability. She even went straight through the wall of a household, passing through their dining room while they were eating, and exited out the other side under their astonished gazes. The family almost thought they had seen a ghost in broad daylight. Three hours later. Weier stood outside the inns door. It had taken her three hours to get there and the same three hours to return. But while the trip had been prolonged due to a fool leading her astray, her return was because she didnt know the way back herself. The inns door was locked, so Weier didnt knock; she simply walked right through it. In the lobby, Aina was sitting at the bottom of the stairs, and upon seeing someone enter, she looked up alertly: Who is it?! Sister Weier, youre back? Yes, Im back. After Weier came in, she took off the hat from her head and tapped it against her head mindlessly. Sister, how did it go? Aina tilted her head and looked back, Wheres my brother? And that strange uncle? Weier looked up towards the upstairs, They They didnt come back? As expected, the so-called resurrection after death was but a lie. If you were really able to Resurrect after death, why didnt you come back? The girl could no longer hold back her tears. She rushed over to embrace her sister tightly, disheveled and sobbing, blaming herself for everything. Aina finally realized something. The Little Wolf Girls body stiffened, Did something happen to Brother and the others? Hmm they helped me stall the enemies so I could go in and find someone, but Sister dilly-dallied and wasted time, its Sisters fault they died Upon hearing Weiers words, something seemed to shatter inside Little Lolitas heart. Her tea-gold colored, beautiful eyes suddenly became hollow. Squeak At this moment, the door was opened from the outside. Lena, patting the blood off her body, was about to step in, but after seeing the two people inside, she froze and asked, What are you doing here? Why are you crying? What happened? Weier, without turning back and hugging Aina, sobbed, Theyre all dead. Dead? Whos dead? Aina also sobbed, Wuu, Brother Luo Xi is dead, the brother Aina liked is gone, Aina originally thought to be with Sister in the future Lena looked back confusedly at the male standing behind her. Chu Tian and Luo Xi both died? Then who is this guy? The Little Wolf Girls tiny nose suddenly twitched, and the words she was saying came to an abrupt halt. She blinked her eyes, glanced at her sister who was still hugging her, crying non-stop, and then peered through the gap in her sisters hair to look at the young man outside. Ainas pupils instantly regained their brilliance, and the corners of her mouth revealed a cunning smile. Sister, what would you do if Brother came back? Weier, swallowing hard, shook her head, He cant come back But what if he did come back? Then I would agree to his perverted demands Hey, why are you crying, silly Cat Cat. A familiar voice sounded from behind the girl. Weier turned around abruptly, staring blankly at the person who called her. In disbelief. After a while, the girls lips parted slightly, and a somewhat hoarse but melodious voice emerged. Youre actually not dead? ??? .. At the front desk, Luo Xi looked at the text and his mouth twitched, his hand shaking while he was making coffee. Why is Cat Cat cursing me to die? [Traveler, you express dissatisfaction, saying, And youre cursing me to die? Didnt I say I would resurrect?] [Weier secretly wipes away the tear marks on her face, Then why didnt you come back sooner?] [Traveler, you say, I was a bit tired and wanted to rest for a bit, so I was delayed.] [Note: Garbage Traveler, why dont you admit you got lost again for half an hour?] Fxxk, what does the character getting lost have to do with me, Luo Xi? [Ding! Weiers dissatisfaction towards you +100] [Ding! Weier uses Cat Cat Punch on you] [Ding! Traveler, youve triggered a temporary Dreamland synchronization (10 minutes), do you want to use it?] Luo Xi: This confirmed it, intense emotions, be they his own, or someone elses, also triggered the temporary synchronization feature. He handed the coffee to the customer, then told Ai Xue he would take a short break and sat down on the already broken sofa. [Yes] [Welcome to the journey of dreams~] When consciousness synchronized once again, the first thing that greeted him was a series of wild punches to the chest from the young girl. Cat Cat Punch, five-hit combo! Luo Xi felt Weiers little fists hitting his chest, just as painless and itchy as this morning, only making him feel that it was cute and weak. Weier rambled, You liar, I felt so sad, I didnt even know how I got back, clearly, after dying one doesnt immediately resurrect, the body even turned to ash I never said I would resurrect immediately, did I? Luo Xi abruptly caught Weiers small hand as she continued to throw punches. The girls small and chilly hand had not a trace of warmth. But it was still small and smooth. He hadnt expected that just by being a bit late, Weiers emotions would fluctuate so much. Look how calm your wolf sister is. [Note: Playing with the emotions of a Lolita, dirty Traveler, you indeed are a real pervert] Damn text, when did I play around?! Sear?h the novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Interested, Aina walked over to look at Luo Xi holding Weiers hand, Sister Weier, what exactly happened? Aina really wants to know now. Weier glared at her younger sister. Just now, Aina must have already seen Luo Xi following Shopkeeper Lena in, but she didnt tell her on purpose, allowing her to embarrass herself. This sister must have been spoiled. Lena closed the door, came in and put down her stuff, and said, I dont know what you all encountered, but in any case, you should all calm down for now. I did indeed find traces of the teacher at the Winter Workshop. How about you? Speaking of which, where did that chatterbox go? Where is he? Luo Xi said, Maybe he hasnt come back to life yet? Lena: ? [Ding! Lenas confusion towards you +10] While Luo Xi was talking to Lena, Weier quickly withdrew her hand from his, the heat from the young mans hand causing her face to also grow warm. She asked, So he can resurrect as well? Yes, but thats not the point, Luo Xi said, looking at Weier thoughtfully, Cat Cat, you just said if I came back, youd agree to my requests, right? I remember you said before, if I came back, youd let me touch your tail and ears and stuff. I I didnt say anything like that The girl instinctively wanted to deny it, but thinking of all that Luo Xi had done for her, her words got stuck in her throat. Luo Xi looked over at Little Aina beside him, whose wolf ears were standing up attentively. He sighed, If youre not willing, then Ill just go pet Aina. [Note: Acting as if youre taking a huge loss, dirty Traveler, you really are a complete hentai!] Aina cozied up obediently, (???) saying, That would be fine, Brother, Aina wouldnt mind at all~ Weier (ب) said, No way! Pervert, whatever you want to do, let it be me instead! Chapter 129 - 129 115 Is it not good to have sisters eat ?Chapter 129: Chapter 115: Is it not good to have sisters eat everything?_1 Chapter 129: Chapter 115: Is it not good to have sisters eat everything?_1 Time rewound to the moment of Luo Xis death. Gasany ran out of the sanatorium, angrily looking at the old man ahead, Lord Delkus, why did you suddenly attack him? And let someone else take him away! We were about to capture him alive! Do you know how valuable he is?! Oh? The old man stared at Gasanys head with a sinister gaze. Gasany immediately felt a chill all over his body. He had just remembered, the old man before him was the most terrifying, most ruthless, and most fierce among the high-ranking authorities of Winter City. It was his anger that had clouded his judgment, daring to yell and speak with a questioning and reproachful tone to this chief justice. Gasany immediately knelt on one knee, humbly saying, I apologize, Lord Chief Justice Delkus. Please forgive my impertinence; I was just too anxious and acted rashly. The old man looked at the devastated sanatorium courtyard, frowning, What exactly happened here? Seeing that the old man did not dwell on his tone, Gasany heaved a sigh of relief and said, The armored operator who appeared yesterday in the Variant gathering place caused trouble here. Lord Chief Justice, what brings you here today? If its nothing urgent, then we should continue the pursuit of that person No need. The old man smiled grimly, Hit by my Life Shatter, hes already dead. His body will crumble like tree bark into countless pieces. As for the other who took him away, if you want to chase them, then chase. Gasany: Damn your ancestors for eighteen generations, you old fart. The technique or ability that allowed that person to casually take away the powered armor is what I want. And you, damn old fool, come out and kill him? As for the one who took him away, who knows if they have such ability? Of course, he only dared to think these thoughts in his heart. If he said it out loud, the other party would definitely gift him with a third-tier skill, sending him straight to heaven. The old man, unconcerned with Gasanys changing gaze, raised his hand, Youre in luck. This team will come with me. Were going to the sixth ring gathering area to capture someone. Ah? Gasany was stunned, Capture who? The old mans face turned icy, I told them to send me a Variant yesterday, and they dared not comply. I heard it was even requested by the deputy leader of the Winter Legion? Now I want to see, with Signo not in charge, who dares to defy my will?! Gasany barely raised his head, Your Lordship, we are also members of the legion. I know. Thats why I need you to slap his face for me, the old man said, his gaze dangerous as he looked at Gasany. How about it, do you also wish to defy me? Yes Weier pursed her lips, her eyes reddening as she looked at Luo Xi. She tensed her body slightly and said resolutely, You pervert, do whatever you want to me, but dont you touch Aina. Luo Xi: ! [Note: The proud Cat Cat willing to become the plaything of a perverted Traveler to protect her sister is truly a commendable act.] Plaything my ass, damn text, cant you speak properly! And whats up with this cat-eared girl? This act makes it seem as if Im some sort of pervert who forces myself on innocent girls. [Note: Isnt that exactly the kind of despicable pervert you are, Traveler?] No! However, since an opportunity like this doesnt come by often, I should at least pet her a few times, considering how precious synchronized time is right now. However, before Luo Xi could reach out to pet the willing Cat Cat, the little Wolf Girl barged in beside him, forcing herself into his arms, and took his hand to place it on her head. Aina, sniffling, said o(>_<)o, Just now, Sister Weier lied to Aina saying Brother you were dead, and Aina was so heartbroken, felt like the sky turned dark all at once. Since Sister is so unwilling, Brother should just pet Aina instead~ Luo Xi naturally went along and petted the now-perked-up wolf ears on the little Wolf Girls head. They were fluffy, and a bit stiff from standing upright, a different sensation from when they were soft. But still very pet-worthy. [Ding! Your Happiness Level +10] [Ding! Ainas Favorability towards you +1] Hehe~ Aina, feeling the strength in the patting on her head, smiled adorably. Truth be told, in the moment she had heard Brother Luo Xi was dead, Aina felt as though everything went blank. Ever since their mother disappeared, her sister had been the most important part of her life for the past three years. Yet, in a short amount of time, this young man seemed to carry a certain magic about him as he entered her life, becoming another significant part for her. Aina couldnt understand why, but maybe it was the magic known as liking someone? If she were just a bit older, she probably wouldnt think of conceding Brother to her sister. sea??h th N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Right now, there was no choice. She was young, and if Sister didnt exert some effort to make Brother Luo Xi stay, he might sneak away at any time. Little Wolf Girl suddenly had an idea. Its not like theres a rule that says one cant get married if theyre young, right? [Ding! Ainas Favorability towards you +5] [Description: Aina seems to be contemplating if theres a way to marry you, the Traveler, earlier to claim the position of the formal wife, usurping her own sister.] Luo Xis hand froze, his gaze blurred as he looked at his hand petting the Wolf Eared Lolita. Goddamn marriage and backstabbing. Can Ainas Favorability increase this fast from just being petted? The Wolf Eared Lolitas Favorability is already off the charts; what would happen if it goes any higher? [Note: Sisters Lolita, eat both! Eat the younger one first, then the older one!] Damn text, you got the order of the novel wrong! Then, Luo Xi felt an annoyed gaze directed at him. The cat that was clearly reluctant in front of him glared at him viciously, You pervert, just how much do you like mutation features? You wont even spare little girls! [Note: Cat Cat, it seems youve got it wrong, this perverted garbage Traveler doesnt like pure mutation features, oh no, what he likes are the cute beast ears and tails on a little Lolita~] Youre absolutely right, but let me pet you first. Luo Xi decided to give up on treatment and reached out his other hand toward Weiers head. The girl initially wanted to dodge. But in the end, she resisted, closing her eyes lightly and letting the young man place his hand on her head, caressing her ears. Behind Weier, her tail wriggled unsurely like a headless snake, moving restlessly up and down. [Ding! Your Happiness Level +20] [Ding! Weiers Favorability towards you +1] [Ding! Your Happiness Level +10] Lena watched the scene in the hall from not too far away, her eyebrows twitching uncontrollably. Who could tell her what on earth had happened to these people? She somewhat regretted splitting up from them. But then again, just a little head-petting was not really a big deal. Lena sighed softly, deciding to put aside the thoughts she wanted to discuss with the others and turned to head to the kitchen to get some food. Thats when she heard a very faint knocking sound. Whats that noise? Lena listened in the direction of the sound for a while. !!! Isnt that the location of my houses secret chamber? In the underground chamber of the inn, on the real-world critical care bed. Chu Tian felt like he was going to go insane. He couldnt move a muscle anywhere. If he had known earlier, he wouldnt have set the safe spot in the secret chamber. He didnt expect that after Resurrecting, he would call for help to no avail, no matter how much he knocked, nobody came to respond to him. Could it be that my account is going to be trapped here forever? Squeak [Traveler, the door has opened, you see light.] [Shopkeeper Lena comes in and looks at you strangely, asking, What are you doing here?] Chu Tian immediately felt tears welling up in his eyes. Thank god for the shopkeeper, finally letting me out. He also didnt know how Brother Luo and Cat Lady Miss were faring. He died too quickly and didnt serve much of a delaying function, hoping they were able to find some useful mission information. He decided, he too needed to become strong quickly, at least successfully stepping onto the path of Transcendence in that world was necessary. From now on, hed better do less of the overeating, wining, whoring and gambling. [Traveler, you leave the secret chamber and come to the living room.] [You see your Brother Luo Xi, happily petting two Wolf Eared Lolitas.] Chu Tian: 6. Aina was the first to smell the new scent. Ah, the weird uncle is back too! Chu Tian immediately retorted: Who is the Weird Uncle! The person beside you is the Weird Uncle! Luo Xi: [Note: To be fair, Traveler, you are indeed a Weird Uncle.] Pervert, havent you touched enough? Weier muttered softly, her eyes red, Aina and I have already let you pet us for such a long time, are you satisfied now? Or do you want to do something even more outrageous? If so, come at me, leave Aina alone. [Note: Hehehe, feisty Cat Cat, you wouldnt want Aina to be petted into unconsciousness by me, right?] Is this Damn Text loading the Island Country template or what? Luo Xi lowered his hand, looking at the text prompt with three minutes left. Well, it was satisfying enough. As for doing something more outrageous, he had never thought about indulging in such things in this world. After all, in this world, he was at best considered an avatar bestowed by that great Will. Shopkeeper Lena called out from the Restaurant, Come and have some warm soup first to warm up. Coming. Luo Xi replied and walked toward the Restaurant. Seeing Luo Xi remove his hand so simply, Weier suddenly felt a sense of loss. Why isnt this guy continuing to be handsy? Could it be that he lost interest in her mutation features so quickly? If that was the case, she should be happy, but why did she feel somewhat disappointed? Aina, seeing her sister hadnt moved, turned her head to look at her sister who still seemed a bit dazed and foolish, and chuckled to herself. Her sister, the dummy. She must be thinking of something weird in her head. It was just a little petting by Brother. Aina was already starting to like that feeling~ Chapter 130 - 130 116 Does Aina Want to Marry Her Brother _1 ?Chapter 130: Chapter 116: Does Aina Want to Marry Her Brother? _1 Chapter 130: Chapter 116: Does Aina Want to Marry Her Brother? _1 So, youve caused another ruckus and infiltrated the nursing home successfully? Are you sure thats infiltration? Listening to the report of the trio, Lena held her forehead in a headache, not expecting these kids to be so outrageously bold. Didnt I tell you not to act recklessly? What if something happened? And whats all this about resurrecting and not resurrecting? Weier looked helplessly towards Luo Xi. She didnt know whether she should tell Lena specifically about Luo Xi and Chu Tianwen being resurrected after death. Luo Xi, on the other hand, was watching the countdown on the text. [This synchronization session has ended.] [Traveler, welcome to come again~] As consciousness returned to reality, Luo Xi stood up from the sofa, supporting himself with one hand. Then he saw that the sofa made a pop sound and another hole broke through. Ai Xue ran over, shocked at the new large hole on the sofa: Has the quality of this sofa really degraded this much?! If youre really tired, Senior, why dont you go home early to rest today? No need, Im already well-rested, Luo Xi shook his head. What garbage sofa. Ai Xue huffed, pulling out her phone. Im going to call the store right now and give them a piece of my mind. Luo Xi inwardly apologized to the seller of the sofa as he got up and went back to the reception area to continue reading the next lines. [Traveler, Shopkeeper Lena is very angry at your actions.] [Chu Tianwen said since you guys wont die anyway, so just be bold. After seeking wealth at the risk of danger, you ended up being scolded by Shopkeeper Lena until blood ran down your head.] Luo Xi: Indeed, would people who didnt see it for themselves not believe? [After reprimanding you for several minutes, the shopkeeper finally stopped and shared their findings with you.] [Lena told you that she indeed found a warehouse in the Winter Workshop filled with many low-quality magic staves, and that all the stores in Winter City were wholesale purchasing from there. A low-quality magic staff only cost 0.5 gold coins.] [She took out a magic staff she bought there, and after Weier dropped her blood on it, confirmed it was no different from the ones you purchased the night before.] [Following the trail, I wanted to find the maker of these staves, but the clues stop here, Shopkeeper Lena gravely said. The source of these low-quality staves seems to be coming from the Mansion of the City Lord. I saw trucks marked with the city lords emblem delivering lots of things, and some of it appears to be these kinds of staves.] [The similarity in standards of these staves is terrifying. Rather than being made by apprentice craftsmen, Im more inclined to believe they were produced in a short time, all in the same way.] [Traveler, hearing Shopkeeper Lena say this, you thought of a wordautomation.] [In the Dream World, the making of most rare weapons seems to require the involvement of craftsmen, or else the so-called weapons soul cant be born. But if the demands arent high, simply mass-producing weapons, what then?] [Is there a possibility, in the Dream World, theres something similar to workshop lathes that can continuously produce items as long as material is input?] [Traveler, you voiced this idea.] [Chu Tianwen immediately agreed with your idea.] [Weier and Lena took some time to understand what you were saying.] [However, the idea of simply inputting materials to spit out weapons and equipment automatically still seemed somewhat fantastical to them.] [Even the lowest quality staffs are different from swords used only for hacking; without a craftsman skilled in engraving and guiding circuits, the so-called staffs are merely fire sticks.] [Weier speculated, Is it something mom researched?] [Its possible, you said as the Traveler. Mother-in-law your mother was so famous in Winter City back then, it wouldnt be surprising if she invented some revolutionary items.] Note: [Garbage Traveler, did you just let some of your inner thoughts slip?] Of course not, I didnt say that. Luo Xi kept a straight face as he flipped through the text. [Weier frowned at you: Did you just say something?] [As the Traveler, you feigned ignorance: What did I say?] [Shopkeeper Lena appeared to be lost in thought and didnt seem to notice what you said.] [Aina ran to your side as the Traveler, and tapping on your thigh with her small hand, she looked up at you with a proud smile, Brother Luo Xi, I heard everything you just said clearly~] Luo Xi: Sear?h the ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Damn, it was just a slip of the tongue, and now the Little Wolf Girl heard it. [Coming back to her senses, Shopkeeper Lena asked, What about you guys? What did you find at the nursing home?] [Weier said, Thanks to Luo Xi and them buying time for me, I successfully found that person named Kilis in the depths of the nursing home. He told me that three years ago at the Divine Tree Festival, the old city owner vanished because he was attacked] [As the Traveler, after Cat Cats explanation, you learned the information known to Weier.] [Three years ago, Liya indeed took part in that festival and directly caused the situation to shift, vanishing along with many others.] [A book? Could it be the True Canon within the Winter Divine Tree? Shopkeeper Lena, shocked after hearing this, said, Could it be the conflicts back then were over the True Canon? But thats impossible. Only those recognized by the bloodline of Shining City can control the True Canon of the Divine Tree, and the only legitimate controller here in Winter City is the city owners bloodline. Its useless for others to snatch it!] [Recorded matter: True Canon] [Chu Tianwen asked the question you wanted to know: What is the True Canon?] [Weier also showed her confusion.] [Shopkeeper Lena explained, Its the most core artifact of every Divine Tree. Regardless of whether a Divine Tree is tens of meters tall, hundreds of meters tall, or even as massive as the four or five hundred meters tall Winter Divine Tree, they all have a True Canon within them. The person who controls the True Canon truly controls the entire city, and all True Canons seem to manifest as books.] In Shining Country, only those recognized by Shining City can control the True Canon and become the City Owner, so thats why I said its useless for others to snatch it away. Traveler, you ask, Does the True Canon have any other uses? Is it just for recognizing identity? Of course not, Shopkeeper Lena continued. Actually, Im not very clear, but one of the functions of the True Canon is to grant humanity the pathways to Sublimation. Many low-tier Sublimation pathways that circulate in the market are spread from some smaller Divine Trees. The pathway granted by the Winter Divine Tree is the Winter Pathway, belonging to the Phenomenon-tier Sublimation pathways, encompassing the three major professions of Skill Practitioner, Knight, and Warrior. One can obtain it by joining the Winter Legion. Its said that the Eternal World Tree also has a True Canon, but the True Canon of the Eternal Divine Tree seems to be called Origin.'' Shopkeeper Lena provided you, Traveler, with precious information, knowing much more than Cat Cat does. Traveler, you continue to ask, Could you talk about things related to Transcendents? Lena was taken aback, Huh? Now? Arent we discussing each others findings? Sister Lena, Ive finished talking about what I learned from the sanatorium, Weier said. That works too. If your teacher hasnt told you about these things, then you know very little about them. Lena took out a piece of parchment and placed it on the table, For humanity, there are two paths to becoming Transcendent: Sublimation and Mutation. Theres no need to talk much about Mutation, but for Sublimation, one must follow the omen symbols granted by a Divine Tree or some strange entities, and go through step by step Sublimation. For example, I have here an omen symbol for the Garden Route for a first-tier Skill Practitioner. By gathering the materials and fulfilling the omen requirements as described in its pathway, one can successfully Sublimate. This pathway seems to come from a Divine Tree in the Da Yan Empire. Traveler, you look at the parchment. There arent many words on the parchment, so you clearly see those few lines. First-tier Garden Skill Practitioner (preceded by zero-tier Garden Apprentice) Main medicine: Warm Sunflower Seed (one), Never Freeze Soil (ten kilograms) Supporting medicine: Origin Beast dung of disaster level or higher, the quantity should be enough to bury a person, the higher the tier of Origin Beast, the better the effect of the dung Omen: Bury yourself in a mixture of Origin Beast dung and Never Freeze Soil, swallow the Warm Sunflower Seed, and when the Warm Sunflower sprouts from your head, you can successfully advance to a first-tier Garden Skill Practitioner Luo Xi: What the hell? Is this how a Sublimated Venerator advances? Its so bizarre. Traveler, you look towards Cat Cat and see that shes equally shocked. It makes sense, she had previously said that she had no clue about Sublimation, and Liya had never told them these things before. Lena chuckled lightly, Dont find this omen strange. There are plenty of outrageous demands for omens. Ive seen pathways where one cannot advance without cutting off that thing. The shopkeeper gave you a meaningful look, her gaze shifting downward. Traveler, you suddenly feel a chill down below. Lena laughed, But for you guys, its enough just to know about these things. After all, Mutation and Sublimation are basically completely incompatible. Chu Tianwen exclaimed excitedly, What about me? Can I Sublimate to become a Transcendent? Lena glanced at him, Low-tier Sublimation pathways can be bought on the black market if you have money. But even zero-tier Sublimation materials cost several hundred gold coins at least. Do you have that kind of money? Chu Tianwen: No Traveler, you talked a bit more, and eventually, Shopkeeper Lena steered the conversation to a close. We should think about what to do next, but before that, let me go make a simple meal. The shopkeeper entered the kitchen and started preparing the food. Weier also said she was going upstairs to change her clothes. Cat Cat originally wanted to take Little Wolf Girl with her, but Aina firmly refused to go up, staying in the restaurant. Chu Tianwen went upstairs too. He said he wanted to see what the bunny-eared big sister was doing. Traveler, now its just you and Aina in the restaurant. Aina approaches you, Traveler, and says with a cat-like squint, Brother Luo Xi~ did you just call her mother because you were calling her mother-in-law? Aina knew you had for Sister Weier. Luo Xi: I have to find a way to stop this Wolf Eared Lolita from continuing, but how? What method should I use? Traveler, before Aina could finish, you gently pet Ainas tail, then picked her up and placed her next to you. Aina looked puzzled by your actions, Brother Luo Xi? Traveler, without a second thought, you blurt out, Does Aina want to marry brother? Note: Hey, is this 110? Come quickly, police officer, theres someone to arrest! Luo Xi: !!! Im truly damned. Is this really the plan I came up with? No, is this the plan my subconscious came up with? Traveler, you feel Little Wolf Girls body go rigid. Ding! Ainas favorability towards you +5 Ding! Ainas favorability towards you +3 Note: Well done, pervert Loli-con Traveler! Chapter 131 - 131 117 Teasing Little Aina is really ?Chapter 131: Chapter 117 Teasing Little Aina is really enjoyable_1 Chapter 131: Chapter 117 Teasing Little Aina is really enjoyable_1 [Ainas pair of tea gold-colored, big eyes were wide open.] [The little wolf girl still seemed somewhat unable to believe what she had heard you say.] [She weakly said, Aina and and big brother getting married Can that really happen?] Luo Xi: Of course not. He had just thought about it idly, never expecting to actually say it out loud. However, Aina in this state sparked a sudden desire in Luo Xi to tease her a bit. [Traveler, you smiled and said, Why not?] [Aina moved closer to you, her long eyelashes blinking lightly, and said, But, but Aina is still young, and mom said that young girls cant get married.] [Note: Its fine, the garbage Traveler doesnt mind, or maybe he likes underage little Lolitas like you, Aina, the younger the better~] What nonsense, damn text! And Aina cant even see this! [Traveler, you petted Ainas tail that lay behind her, feeling its warmth and softness, and said, Thats why Aina has to grow up fast, then it will be alright.] [Note: Once shes grown up, a bigger tail will be even better to pet, right?] Thats actually correct. [Because of your skilled touch, the little wolf girls gaze suddenly became a bit misty: So, big brother, earlier you were thinking about things for the future with Aina, and thats why you called mom mother-in-law, right?] How does this wolf eared Lolita still remember that? [Traveler, your noncommittal attitude made Ainas little face turn as red as a dewy apple and hang down.] [Ding! Traveler, you have once again completed a conquest on Aina.] [Note: Truly a master at conquering beast-eared Lolitas!] [Aina then looked up at you again, her eyes filled with a misty look, and said, But then, big sister will be very pitiful.] [Traveler, you said, Its fine, keeping one is keeping, and keeping two is also keeping, theres not much difference.] [Ah?] [Ding! Ainas confusion value +10] [Note: Garbage Traveler, why are you letting yourself fly free now?] [Aina puffed up her cheeks in frustration: Aina and big sister are not little animals! Why use the word keep?] [Traveler, you petted the little wolf girls head.] [Aina immediately showed a comfortable smile.] [Ehehe~] [Traveler, you thought to yourself, isnt she just a little animal?] [You also wondered, if time were reversed, could you still raise her favorability this high.] Luo Xi: Perhaps he knew why he had suddenly let himself go. It was now four oclock in the afternoon. If he just let today pass by like this, then there would only be two days left until Weiers birthday and the Divine Tree festival. He had no confidence that in two days, he could find Weiers mother who might still be alive in Winter City. Winter City was simply too large. So, taking the known information, reversing time to zero hour today, and starting from another angle, there was a greater possibility of finding Liya. Thus, teasing the little wolf girl in the meantime was no big deal. After all, these things would vanish under Moonflows reversal. Luo Xi was lost in thought. Now wasnt the time just yet, but before midnight, he could reverse time at any point, he just needed to go outside and find a place to die. [Traveler, you felt a small, ice-cold hand slip into yours.] [Aina, with her eyes that seemed to speak, gazed directly at you: So big brother, you promise, you cant leave Aina and big sister behind in the future, okay?] [Traveler, you stroked the little wolf girls hair.] [Hmm, its a promise.] [Although you didnt know what might happen after three days, you were sure not to abandon them] [But after that, rather than following you, if their mother was indeed alive, it would definitely be better for them to return to her.] [Note: But after all the effort, if you cant take away even one Lolita, itd be somewhat disappointing, wouldnt it, Traveler?] Luo Xi was silent. Yes. But, more than taking them away, he simply wished for them to have a few good days. Not out of pity or compassion, but because he had seen them, and he wanted to do what he could. Just like what he saw yesterday in the Variant enclave. To rise against injustice. [Note: Ding! You have earned the title: A Beast-Eared Lolita Con with Proper Principles.] Luo Xi: Whats the effect of this title? This is something you made up, isnt it, damn text?! [Traveler, with the recent thought in mind, you continued to pet Ainas tail, feeling even more at ease.] [Soon, you had petted the little wolf girl until her face was flushed with red, and she began to hum unconsciously.] [Ding! Ainas favorability towards you +1] [Note: Hey, Traveler, why dont you do something more hentai?] Pfft, dont think you can lead me astrayI do have my principles, after all. [At this moment, the shopkeeper brought out two large bowls of noodles from the kitchen] [Then she witnessed you petting Ainas tail] [Ding! Shopkeeper Lenas alertness value +20 (her current alertness value towards you has already exceeded 100)] [Description: Traveler, Shopkeeper Lena thinks youre a trustworthy person, but the way you touch Aina gives her the feeling that something is off about you] [Note: Youre right, Shopkeeper Lena, the Traveler is indeed not right] [Thump thump thump!] [After Shopkeeper Lena placed the noodles on the table, someone suddenly knocked on the inns door] [Shopkeeper Lena immediately said, All of you go upstairs! Luo Xi, carry Aina and hurry up!] [Traveler, you swiftly picked up the slightly dazed Little Wolf Girl and ran upstairs] [Instead of entering a room, you crouched at the corner of the second-floor corridor, listening to the noises downstairs with Aina] [The door at the back was pushed open, and Weier came out of the room after changing clothes, about to ask what was happening, but when she saw your serious expressions, she immediately realized that it wasnt the time to speak] [Cat Cat crouched beside you, Traveler, whispering, Whats going on?] [You whispered back, I dont know, it could be guards coming for a search.] [Oh.] [Weier then looked at her sister] [She noticed the blush still on her sisters face] [As well as the messy Big Tail behind her] [Traveler, you felt a strong little hand grasp your waist and pinch it hard] [Pervert, did you do something to Aina again?] [Note: Poor Cat Cat, Little Sister is about to be completely taken by the dastardly Traveler without you knowing~] [Traveler, you gestured silently towards the noise below] [Weier let go, pulled Aina to her side, and glared at you fiercely] [Traveler, you saw Little Wolf Girl smiling ambiguously, mouthing the words Aina wont tell Sister] Luo Xi: Good grief, he felt increasingly like he might be suddenly arrested by a cop falling from the sky. [Note: Traveler, you still have some self-awareness, huh?] [Traveler, you heard the sound of the door downstairs being opened] [The three of you held your breaths together] [Could it be the guards from Winter City?] [Today, although you caused a big mess at St. Sound Sanatorium, they shouldnt have tracked you down so quickly, right? After all, they didnt find you yesterday when you were much closer, and the culprits who caused the mess have died] [Traveler, you heard a womans voice from below, soft and gentle] [Excuse me, do you have rooms available? Id like to stay for a few nights.] [Sorry, were not taking in guests right now.] [Shopkeeper Lena said, ready to close the door] [Traveler, you and Weier both breathed a sigh of reliefit was just someone seeking lodging] [The woman wanting to stay seemed to push against the door saying, Wait, one gold coin a night should be enough, right?] [Sorry, that still wont be possible, were out of rooms.] Shopkeeper Lena said, You must be a local from Winter City, right? Then surely you have a house of your own here. Why would you want to stay at an inn?] [The woman said, Youre right about that, but people like to experience different things. For my first time at an inn, it needs to be a run-down place like this to get the real travelers vibe.] Luo Xi: Does this person looking to stay have a problem or what? [Shopkeeper Lena was clearly choked up by the womans words] [The establishment is indeed too rundown to accommodate guests, farewell.] [Squeak] [The Shopkeeper attempted to forcefully close the door] [Hey now, dont rush. Is this how the service industry treats its guests? You wont make money this way.] [Traveler, you heard the Shopkeepers surprised and confused cry, as the person seemed to have entered the shop] [Who are you really?] [You exchanged glances with Weier, realizing that if the guards had found your whereabouts, thered be no point in hiding anymore] [Then, you heard the woman say, You wouldnt want Winter Citys guards to know you were the ones causing trouble at St. Sound Sanatorium today, would you?] [I dont know what youre talking about, the Shopkeeper replied.] [As long as you know the truth yourselves. The womans voice was soft and alluring, So, about the few friends upstairs, wont you come down to meet? Ive come with important information I need to share with you. Ah, these noodles are delicious!] [Had the stranger already confirmed your presence?] [Traveler, you told Weier to stay put and you went down the stairs yourself] [You heard strange slurping sounds, and upon coming down, you saw a pretty woman with gray hair, eagerly eating noodles in the restaurant] [Who is she? the Traveler you asked] [Shopkeeper Lena gave you a look of disbelief] S~ea??h the n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Clearly, she didnt know who the woman was either] Chapter 132 - 132 118 Isnt sleeping with cute girls a ?Chapter 132: Chapter 118: Isnt sleeping with cute girls a natural behavior? _1 Chapter 132: Chapter 118: Isnt sleeping with cute girls a natural behavior? _1 [Traveler, you took a closer look at this uninvited guest.] [Her gray hair softly cascaded down both sides of her body, her beautiful facial features were remarkably symmetrical. Judging from her seated height, she was probably close to one meter sixty in staturenot too tall, but not too short either.] [Note: Tsk, shes not a lolita, how dullthis is what you, the damn traveler, are thinking at this moment.] Luo Xi: ? Thats the damn text youre thinking of, isnt it? Dont falsely accuse me! [The woman said while eating her noodles, I really didnt want to get involved in your mess, but today I took the time to look through some old documents and found a big problem. If its not resolved, the entire Winter City could be in danger. Winter City is already sealed off, and I cant even run if I wanted to.] [Lena watched her warily and asked, What exactly is the issue? And who are you, really? How did you find this place?] [The woman said, My name, let me think, Luvia Serlenta Eru Astolga] Luo Xi: That sounds like a ridiculously long name she just made up on the spot, doesnt it? [Shopkeeper Lena couldnt listen anymore and interrupted her introduction, If youre just going to say that, then I must ask you to leave.] [The shopkeeper gave you a subtle glance.] [Traveler, you knew this was the shopkeeper signaling for you to be ready to capture this woman of mysterious origins at any moment.] [Weier had also come down from upstairs. Without needing to say more, the three of you blocked the only exit of the restaurant, preparing for a showdown.] [Speaking of which, where had Chu Tian gone?] [Since he went upstairs saying he was going to find big-tailed Big Sister, hes been missing in action.] [Dont be in such a hurry, thats why I hate telling people my name. Every time before I finish, someone interrupts.] [The woman put down her chopsticks and noodles, turned her body, looked at you with those black pupils, and smiled, Are you looking for the truth behind the Divine Tree Festival three years ago?] [Lena asked in a deep voice, You still havent answered my question. How did you find this place?] [The woman glanced behind the Traveler, made an apologetic gesture, and said, I borrowed a moment near that little girl at noon and left something behind with a little trick. Then I found my way here.] [Traveler, you turned to look at Cat Cat.] [Weier immediately realized something. Are you the woman from the sanatorium?] [Yes, I had to thank you this morning, otherwise I couldnt have gotten in. But thats not the point. The point is, our goals now are the same; we all want to survive.] The woman curbed her smile, interlaced her fingers, and placed them on the table, speaking seriously, After I finished sorting through the documents, I discovered that the festival incident from three years ago was not so simple. The outcome involved not just a reshuffling of the old and new powers, but also a hidden organization. Although they had erased all traces of themselves, I was able to deduce their existence from the fragments I found.] [The woman suddenly stopped speaking and looked around at all of you.] [Traveler, you were puzzled. Why did she only speak halfway?] [This piece of information fifty gold coins cough, sorry, occupational habit.] The woman coughed and continued, According to my speculation, that organization is likely the sect hunted by the major powersthe Church of Truth. Only they would dare meddle with a major city under the nose of the Noah Church. And I suspect that the high echelons of the Noah Church have been infiltrated. Otherwise, they wouldnt have all withdrawn from Winter City back to Shining City at this time. They want to dissociate themselves from the aftermath.] [As for the Church of Truths objective, its even more terrifying.] [The woman had not finished speaking when Shopkeeper Lena said in a deep voice, The True Canon of the Winter Divine Tree.] [Oh, youve guessed it too? Not bad, not bad, the woman said in a tone of praise. I thought you had rushed headlong into danger without knowing anything. If that were the case, you might not even know how you died.] [Weier stepped forward, slightly narrowing her eyes as she looked at the woman and said, Were you the owner of the wine bar we visited last night? You must be the person with the owl mask, right?] [Hey! The woman looked curiously at Cat Cat. Little Sister, how did you figure it out? My voice should be completely different from last night, right?] [I guessed from what you said since we havent seen too many people recently, Weier said with a frown. And, you probably never even thought about concealing your identity from us, did you?] [The woman clapped her hands and laughed, Congratulations, Little Sister, you are right. I am the owner of the Nothing Unknown Wine Bar. But dont think about using this to blackmail me. If I can leave Winter City safely, we probably wont see each other again. If I cant leave well, then, Im out of options.] [Lena frowned and said, So what else do you know? It must be something very important for the owner of the information shop to seek us out.] [Of course, I came here to propose cooperation, the woman said seriously. I suspect theyre not only eyeing the True Canon, but also coveting its power. This could destroy the very foundation on which Winter City was built, leaving hundreds of thousands of people homeless or even dead!] [Lena contradicted, The True Canon of the Divine Tree cannot possibly be taken and used by anyone without the City Owners bloodline!] [No, who said its going to be used in a regular way? Just obtaining the power it holds is not unprecedented in historical records.] [The woman slid off the stool like a ghost, approaching you, the Traveler; you caught a whiff of her faint fragrance. She looked up at your forehead, then moved in front of Cat Cat and swiftly removed her hat.] [Indeed, a Mutation Syndrome patient? Oh, Cat Clan factor?] [Weier suppressed her anger and said, Are you out of your mind?!] [Ah, sorry, I like to handle things hands-on. I was suspecting you all last night.] [The woman returned the hat to Weier and smiled, Its indeed difficult for anyone unauthorized to control the True Canon. However, thats not an absolute rule. Sublimation abilities and Mutation abilities are numerous and varied; who knows, maybe someone possesses that kind of power? For instance, in the towns destroyed by the Origin Disaster, some Divine Trees completely vanished. Guess where the True Canons within those trees went? ] [Traveler, you guessed, They were devoured by the Origin Disaster.] Right. The woman snapped her fingers crisply, So dont try to view this vast world through your narrow eyes and thinking. Theres just too much thats unknown. After all that talking, Im a bit tired. Can the shopkeeper give me a room? Id like to rest for a bit. The woman yawned. Traveler, you ask, Do you have any Ahhhh, Im not listening, Im not listening, I need my rest and sleep! The woman covered her ears and shook her head from side to side. Luo Xi: Is this person a little brat? Shopkeeper Lena frowned, led her upstairs, and arranged for her to stay in the innermost room. Aina ran over to your side and tugged at your clothes, worried, Brother, what happened? Who is that auntie? Its nothing. Traveler, you gently petted the little wolf girls head, comforting her. Weier slapped your hand away and complained, Really, the moment I turn around, I see you getting handsy with Aina. Do we need to tie up your hands for you to stop? Note: Even if tied up, the damn Traveler wouldnt stop~ Luo Xi brushed aside the damn text. This person let it be, she doesnt seem to have any ill intentions for now. Shopkeeper Lena gave you a look, Lets go. Well go downstairs for some noodles, and you call out that Chu Tian and the mother-daughter duo. Traveler, you went to Chu Tians room, pushed the door open, and found it empty. So, theyre probably in the rabbit-eared mother and daughters room. What are they doing in there for so long without any noise? Traveler, you cracked open the door of the rabbit-eared mother and daughter and heard the sound of their laughter from the room. Uncle, your card skills are really bad. Im just letting you win, dont underestimate me! Mom, you played the wrong card. Winnie, youre tricking Mom again Chu Tian, this guy, gets along quite well with Daisy and her daughter, Winnie. Note: Conquest of a widow is as vigorously pursued by others as your conquest of little lolitas, Traveler. Luo Xi: Damn text, just go to hell! After calling the three card players from their room, you went downstairs for a casual bowl of noodles and then upstairs with Aina to your room. Now that theres a ticking time bomb upstairs, you all dont dare to leave the little wolf girl alone on the upper floor. In Weier and Ainas room, Traveler, you sat in the corner chair, watching the two sisters organize the two bags of clothes they left at your place. You thought to yourself, thankfully youre an upright person and didnt do anything strange with their clothes, or youd be exposed. Note: Damn Traveler, were not even trying to expose you. Cat Cat suddenly suggested, Aina, why dont you sniff the scent that person left in the hallway? The obedient little wolf girl opened the door, sniffed around for a bit, and turned back, That auntie doesnt seem to be a bad person. Aina didnt smell any stench or blood. Not a bad person? Weier pondered, So, she is someone we can trust for now? Dont call me auntie, it breaks my heart to hear that. Im not even 20 years old yet. A gentle voice came into the room. Ah! Aina was suddenly scared witless, her fur exploded, she closed the door, and she lunged toward you, the Traveler, plunging into your embrace.

Traveler, you hurriedly comforted the frightened little wolf girl, stroking her big, puffed-up tail. Note: Suspicious pervert Traveler, is this what you call comforting? Get your hand off Ainas tail! Click The door was gently cracked open. The woman peeked in apologetically, Sorry. I didnt mean to scare her. Hey, are you three living in one room? Although I heard that Variants marry and have children quite early, isnt this a bit too soon Hey, young man, isnt this a bit perverted? Traveler, you felt your fist clench. Chapter 133 - 133 119 All About the Travelers Mannerisms ?Chapter 133: Chapter 119: All About the Travelers Mannerisms! Chapter 133: Chapter 119: All About the Travelers Mannerisms! Unexpectedly, before you, the Traveler, could speak up, Cat Cat took a step forward and said indignantly, What does how we are have to do with you? Is it your place to meddle? And opening someones door without permission, do you have no manners at all?'' Traveler, you also immediately responded, Yeah, who are you to be pointing fingers at us? Even if I did sleep with them, whats it to you?'' Weier heard what you said, glanced back at you with a stare, but she didnt deny it and slap your face. Note: Cat Cat is actually standing up for you like this, you scumbag Traveler, you must be secretly thrilled, right? And you just blurted out what you really want to do in your heart, didnt you! Thats just the basic tsundere Cat Lady move, nothing to be thrilled about; also, damn text, didnt you see I added even if? But still, Weier does protect her own, doesnt she. Ding! Your Happiness Level +10 Sorry, I accidentally said too much. The woman apologized with a full expression of regret, How about I give you some information as compensation? Ive heard that at the Variant gathering place, after the disturbances yesterday, a deputy leader of the Winter Legion has arrived. The chief judge from the Judicial Tribunal originally demanded at least 200 Variants to be sent to his residence today, but it was rejected by the deputy commander. According to my predictions, theres a high possibility of a conflict between them from the afternoon to the evening. What do you think of this news?'' Traveler, you exchanged a glance with Weier. Will Uncle Bear and the others'' Weier began to say something but stopped, her gaze seeming somewhat dejected. She knew she couldnt save so many people and that she was even unable to save herself at the moment. But the thought of possibly never seeing her well-acquainted friends again made the young girls mood significantly fall. Traveler, you gently petted the tail of the Little Wolf Girl in your arms, quietly asking, Aina, what about this womans scent right now?'' Ainas ability to judge friends and foes based on scent might not be useful in combat or even that accurate, but its quite handy in situations like this one. Note: After all, the eyes of a Lolita are pure and clear, arent they! Lolita? You mean the crowd, right?! Damn text, dont mess with the sentence like that! Aina flipped over in your arms, tilting her head back and resting it between your thighs, and with her little face turned up toward you, the Traveler, she said in a delicate voice, This Aunties scent when speaking is very steady; she probably isnt lying.'' Of course Im not lying. Our profession values ethics. But little sister, the woman touched her forehead with an air of resignation, can you not call me Auntie? Im really not even 20 years old! Can you call me Sister instead?'' Traveler, you quickly did some calculations in your mind: twenty years old in this world would be roughly twenty-two years old back in your reality. It did seem a bit much to call her Auntie. But who asked you to scare my Little Wolf Girl and make her tail fur all fluffed up from fright? Calling you Auntie, were even, arent we? Didnt you say you were going to rest? Weier questioned the woman, So what is it that you wanted to do by coming to find us?'' I have a name. Just call me Luweiya from now on.'' The woman pointed to her body which was still outside the door and said with a laugh, Arent you going to invite me in? This corridor isnt really a place for conversation, is it?'' Weier nodded slightly. She moved closer to your side and sat down on another chair next to you, leaving the bed available for Luweiya. Weier whispered next to your ear, Pervert, had enough touching? Didnt you see how reluctant Aina looked?'' Note: Of course, I hadnt had enough, you garbage Traveler. Your desire for beast-eared Lolitas is boundless, isnt it? Luo Xi: (p) Traveler, you looked down only to see the Little Wolf Girl comfortably humming a sound, her wolf ears standing up straight and erect. You call this reluctance? Note: No wonder shes a Lolita with whom youve raised Favorability high enough to consider marriage, Traveler you are utterly despicable! Traveler, you petted Ainas wolf ears a few more times. After all, youve already decided to rewind today; not petting her a bit more would feel like a loss. Ding! Your Happiness Level +10 Ding! Weiers Anger Value +10 You two seem to have a really good relationship. The woman came in and casually sat on the bed, commenting, The innkeeper isnt a Mutant Patient, so I specifically waited until she wasnt with you to come and find you.'' Weier frowned, Why?'' With a seductive smile, Luweiya replied, Because I trust you Variants more than the Inner City people. Just like me, once you reveal who you are, you have no way out.'' Traveler, you asked, Are you also a patient with Mutation Syndrome?'' Of course not.'' Luweiya crossed one leg over the other, appearing somewhat melancholic as she said, Have you ever heard of the continental-level organization Shadow Merchants?'' Traveler, you looked at Cat Cat beside you; Weier shook her head. It figures that a remote place like Winter City wouldnt know. Nevermind if you havent heard of it.'' Luweiya put her finger to her lips and said, Anyway, Ive been wanted by them, and after struggling to find a remote place like Winter City to hide for a few years, I came across those fanatics of the Church of Truth. How damn unlucky am I.'' [Traveler, you asked, What did you do to get a wanted warrant out for you?] Sear?h the n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [That piece of information is worth 1,000 jin of essence crystals.] Luo Xi: [Weier, not understanding, said, If you dont want to talk about it then forget it, but why would you tell us your story? Wouldnt it be better to say nothing at all? Arent you afraid that well divulge your information afterwards?] [I advise you not to do that, if you are smart people.] [Luweiya laughed heartily, People associated with me have never met with good endings. If you manage to leave Winter City alive, you definitely wont be able to find me again. Under such circumstances, do you still want to leak this information? Before they find any clues about me, do you believe that you will be] [The woman didnt finish her sentence, but you still understood what she meant.] [Shes not afraid of you leaking her information because before those people find her, anyone who divulges information about her will be backlashed to death.] [As for why I sought you out, I have something to say. Luweiya raised a finger, pointing at Cat Cat and said, You, I suppose you must be that womans daughter from back then? Her name is Liya, Ive seen her at banquets several times. One can tell from her demeanor, shes obviously from a big family.] [Weier frowned, How did you know?] [Luweiya smiled, Dont underestimate the investigative abilities of a seasoned intelligence trader. Besides, with your face that resembles hers so much, it would be hard not to recognize you.] [Traveler, you were somewhat curious. Does Weier really look that much like her mother Liya?] [An adult version of Cat Cat?] [Suddenly, you really wanted to meet her.] [Note: Damn traveler, abducting two of someones daughters isnt enough for you? You wouldnt be thinking of packing up and taking the older one away too, would you?] Damn text, scram! Im not that Cao Zei, Chu Tian! [Weier asked, Then, why did you choose to come here when Sister Laina is not around? You must also know that she is] [Liyas student, right?] [Luweiya spread her hands, I dont believe in the mentor-student relationship. I cut my teacher down with a knife and then ran away, so I just wanted to talk to you two alone. Whether you want to tell her or not is none of my business.] Luo Xi: Why can this woman speak of such a thing so casually? [Weier also didnt know what to say, So what do you want to tell us?] [Luweiya seriously said, You must have heard what Kilis said. Three years ago, at the festival, your mother Liya was one of the people who acted against the True Canon. But for some reason, she stopped, released some skill, and made many people disappear that night.] [I suspect she might have been working with the Church of Truth at the beginning. She wanted the Truth of Divine Tree for some reason but changed her mind at the last moment.] [Now, the Church of Truth wants to restart the plan from three years ago, to get the True Canon again. Their purpose is still unknown, but if the Truth of Divine Tree falls into the hands of those people, it certainly wont bode well! ] [Weier fell silent. After a while, she said, Mom would never work with those bad people.] [Who knows what she wanted to do? Luweiyas gaze shifted from Weier to Aina, Perhaps, it was for you?] [For us?] [Weier, puzzled, looked to you, the traveler.] [Dont overthink it; if we find Liya, then well know everything.] [Traveler, you nonchalantly petted Cat Cats head.] [Even though Cat Cat quickly moved her head away, you still managed to touch her ears.] [Weier glared at you, puffed up with anger, You pervert, what are you trying to do?!] Luo Xi: . This tsundere Cat Lady really isnt easy to pet. But thats not a big problem; if I cant pet you, Ill just pet your sister instead. [Traveler, while Cat Cat wasnt paying attention to your hand movements, your right hand gently petted Little Aina, who was lying on your lap, and couldnt help moving your fingers toward the insides of her wolf ears.] [Unlike the fluffy outer part of the wolf ears, the inside was much warmer, with fine white fur used for warmth situated near the outer ear. Gently prodding with a finger would cause an indentation.] [The adorable face of Aina began to visibly turn red.] [Note: Damn loli-con traveler, this is no longer about whether or not you should do it. Flirting with her sister right under her nose, are you ready to be fed a few peanuts?] [You seem to have a pretty good relationship, Luweiya curiously said. Speaking of which, are you two really sisters? And where did this young man come from, being so close with the child?] [Just as Weier was about to speak, Ainas somewhat confused voice rang out: Ainais not Mommys real daughter, Aina really likes sisterand also likes brother] [Hearing Ainas voice, Weier and Luweiya both looked towards you, as the confused Little Wolf Girl, still talking nonsense, was being petted by you.] [Ding! Weiers anger value +20] [Traveler, you awkwardly withdrew your hand from Ainas head, a tuft of white fur falling from your fingers.] [Note: Perverted loli-con traveler, youve been caught! Prepare for your doom!] Chapter 134 - 134 120 It wouldnt be okay to pet Aina until ?Chapter 134: Chapter 120: It wouldnt be okay to pet Aina until she loses her senses, would it? _1 Chapter 134: Chapter 120: It wouldnt be okay to pet Aina until she loses her senses, would it? _1 [Feeling your hand withdraw, Ainas tea gold eyes took on a misty haze as the wolf-eared little Lolita looked up at you in confusion. Her soft, feeble voice emerged from her thin lips.] [Mmm~ Brother Luo Xi, why did you stop?] [Your sisters gaze feels like it could kill someone. If I kept going, Id really be in danger!] [Traveler, you feel the weight on your leg lift, and the next moment, Weier snatches Aina back, placing her on her own legs.] [Weier glared up at you as she looked at her sister whom you had petted into a daze, angrily accusing you, Pervert! I knew I couldnt entrust Aina to you! Just look at what youve done to her in such a short time!] Luo Xi: The way she put it, it was as if he had done something morally reprehensible to the little wolf girl. In reality, he had merely petted her through the narrative description. [Hey, you guys are really amusing.] [Luweiya covered her mouth and laughed, Well, Ive said my piece. Your mother probably had a close relationship with the Church of Truth. Whether she is alive or where she might be, I have no idea. Perhaps everything will be revealed on the night the Divine Tree Festival begins. But by then, if you start preparing, it might all be too late.] sea??h th NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Ill head back first, I wont disturb you guys any longer. And you, handsome guy imbued with the hot Yuan Su fluctuations, are you interested in coming to my room to discuss the origins of those mystical powers you possess?] [As she finished speaking, she turned her gaze to you, Traveler, her black eyes shining with a desire for knowledge.] Luo Xi narrowed his eyes slightly. This woman, by midday, must have seen him storing the power armor and even the moment he died from the old mans spell was witnessed by her. A Dreamland pack and resurrection, two powers granted by the great will of this world, must seem quite miraculous to the original inhabitants of the Dream world, right? [Traveler, you declare this is your secret, and there isnt much to discuss.] [Luweiya shook her head regretfully and left the room.] [Traveler, when she closed the door behind her, Weier instantly turned to look at you.] [You notice a hint of murderous intent in the girls light red eyes.] [Weier, with a composed air, stood up, took Aina to the bed, covered her with blankets, and smoothed out her messy hair, tousled from your petting.] [Traveler, you see the blush on Ainas face has not faded, and she still looks dazed.] [Note: Damn Traveler, youre a real piece of garbage! Cat Cat, hurry and get rid of this pervert loli-con! We support you!] Whose damn text are you, anyway! [Weier muttered softly, You pervert, if Aina hadnt shown she didnt dislike you, youd be dead So, what do you make of what that woman said?] [Shock! Cat Cat actually stopped talking about you petting her sister too much.] [Traveler, you speculate, She had no reason to come over and mock us personally. Maybe, as she said, if the True Canon of the Divine Tree gets into the hands of those people, not only you, Cat Cat, but the entire Winter City will be plunged into crisis. So, she was saving herself, too.] [Weier nodded, agreeing with your speculation.] Luo Xi breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was through text, he always felt that Cat Cat was very angry, and the consequences could be severe. [Weier looks at you with a smiling gaze, So, lets talk about the price you have to pay for what you did to Aina. You dont think you can get out of this unscathed, do you?] [Traveler, you want to run away on the spot, but Cat Cat catches your clothes and forcibly pulls you back.] [Its hard to imagine that such great strength could reside in Weiers delicate body.] [Did her strength increase as well because the mutation deepened yesterday?] [Weier got up on tiptoes and patted the Travelers head.] [Just when you thought Cat Cat was about to hit you, the girl took off the hat from your head.] [Traveler, you turn around in surprise.] [Weier looked at you gravely and said, As expected, the degree of your mutation has deepened. Why so fast? Its only been a few days since the initial mutation awakening. At this rate, youll soon enter the first-tier of mutation.] Luo Xi subconsciously rubbed the spot on his head where there should be horns, through his hat. However, in reality, due to the lack of sufficient Yuan Su, he couldnt feel the horns on his head. He checked the time; it was almost five oclock. Had the enhancement of his Variant attributes led to changes in his mutational characteristics? He needed to go back and check the situation. Ai Xue, I have something to take care of today, so Ill leave first. See you the day after tomorrow. Ah, ok, go ahead, senior. After Luo Xi left, Chen Momo poked Ai Xues arm and said, Your senior seems to be absent-minded all the time. What is he actually up to? Ai Xue replied uncertainly, I dont know She felt there was an invisible chasm between her and Luo Xi. Even though she was trying hard to catch up, she still couldnt figure out what he was thinking. On his ride back on the shared bike. [Traveler, Weier tells you that the mutational feature on your head has grown about a centimeter longer than before, and the patterns and refinement have also improved, making it akin to top-notch material that could be carved if pulled out, potentially selling for over ten gold coins.] [In other words, Traveler, your value has increased!] [Note: Perhaps this could also be considered a good thing?] Luo Xi: What a hammer hit of a good deed that was! But when Weier took hold of him, it wasnt to pound him, but to check on his physical condition, proving this cat-eared Lolita was as kind-hearted as ever. [Seeing that you, the Traveler, didnt seem to care much, Weier didnt pursue it further. She handed you back your hat, saying, In a bit, well go downstairs and consider our next move with Sister Laina. Ill take care of Aina here for now.] [After saying this, Weier burrowed into the covers, hugging her little sister, resembling a thief on guard.] [Who is Cat Cat guarding against?] [Note: Do you even have to ask? Its definitely against you, Loli-con scum Traveler!] Luo Xi: (ب#) Fifteen minutes later, Luo Xi returned to the place he was renting, and immediately headed straight for the bathroom. In the mirror, he could clearly see the two illusory horns of black and red on his head had indeed grown larger, with more intricate patterns and an even more aesthetically pleasing shape. All this was due to an enhancement of his innate ability. It seemed not too bad? Luo Xi put down his hand and let out a light sigh. In the case where it was difficult to enhance other talents or their enhancement didnt significantly increase his combat abilities, the Variant talent level-up and the surge of strength that came with it indeed matched his current circumstances. He wondered if he could find a way to shift from Mutation into Sublimation in the future. He certainly didnt want to turn into a monster that had lost all reason. [Traveler, Shopkeeper Lena has asked for you to all come to the restaurant.] [Weier herself carried Aina downstairs, not giving you, the Traveler, any chance to touch her.] [Cat Cat is now very wary of your fondling hands.] Luo Xi: [Damn it, even the gentleman is on guard!] [Note: Thats what you get for petting her sister until she looked like that! Youre just reaping what you sowed.] [The shopkeeper informs you that tomorrows plan is to go to the Mansion of the City Lord to gather intelligence. Liya must have left many traces in the City Lords Mansion, and perhaps among them are clues as to her current whereabouts.] [Traveler, you immediately volunteer to be the vanguard tonight, suggesting that you could scout the Mansion of the City Lord for any traces related to Liya.] [No way!] [As expected, Weier turned down your offer.] [Shopkeeper Lena was also baffled by your death-wish idea.] [Chu Tian then said he wouldnt join you because if his attributes were to drop again tomorrow, he, already severely injured, might just kick the bucket.] [But, Traveler, you didnt really expect him, essentially still a normal person, to do much anyway.] [Cat Cat, have you forgotten? Traveler, trying to look cool, you took off your hat and gently placed it on the young girls head, earnestly saying, I wont die, you know.] [Ding! Weiers favorability towards you +3] Luo Xi: Its just like me to actually do something Ive always wanted to do. Style points up. [But, who knows what kind of price youll pay for this Weier lowered her head, her face obscured by the brim of your hat, and spoke with a hint of sadness in her voice: Im afraid that you might not come back if you were to die again, and that would make me Aina very sad! To emphasize her point, Cat Cat brought over Aina, who she had been vigilantly shielding from your covert petting, and placed the still drowsy Aina in front of you.] [Aina adorably tilted her head.] [As the Traveler, you were suddenly a bit perplexed.] [Whats this all about?] [Biting her teeth, Weier said, We still have a few days, so theres plenty of time. Luo Xi, dont do anything foolish anymore. If you agree, I might occasionally turn a blind eye to what you do to her, as long as Aina doesnt object.] Luo Xi: ! Weier is willing to go to such lengths? It meant that if he agreed, he could openly pet Aina in front of Weier in the future. Just the thought was somewhat exciting. But was he that kind of person? [Traveler, you cleared your throat and said, No need for such a test, Im not that kind of person. I wanted to scout the City Lords Mansion after careful consideration, so rest assured, Ill definitely survive no matter what, right Brother Chu?] [Chu Tian also spoke up, Miss Cat Lady, dont worry. We really can resurrect with little consequence after death, so we are best suited for such dangerous tasks.] [Weiers expression briefly showed suspicion.] [Note: Garbage Traveler, guess which of your statements Cat Cat doubts? My bet is on the first one since youre already the kind that would paw at Aina, you pervert!] Damn Text, shut the hell up! Chapter 135 - 135 121 Aina and her brother will get married ?Chapter 135: Chapter 121 Aina and her brother will get married once they come back~(seriously)_1 Chapter 135: Chapter 121 Aina and her brother will get married once they come back~(seriously)_1 [Traveler, Weier, after much hesitation, nodded her head, agreeing to trust you and Chu Tian.] [After all, she had witnessed with her own eyes your death and return today.] [To be resurrected after death? Shopkeeper Lena deeply doubted, Are you sure youre not talking in your sleep?] [Of course not, Chu Tian said cheerfully, Didnt I appear in your secret room, shopkeeper? Its because I set your secret room as my resurrection point.] [Shopkeeper Lena was baffled: Resurrection point? Bind? What kind of mess is this] [Weier gently tugged at your clothes, Traveler, Who are you guys really? Are you truly not from this world? Is everything you told me the truth?] [Traveler, you responded with a noncommittal smile.] [Sometimes, the truth spoken outright is the least likely to be believed.] [Even seeing is not believing, let alone what has not been seen.] [Cat Cat hung her head, pressing down on the hat you placed atop her head, avoiding your gaze, she said softly, Alright, I agree to let you do this, but are you really planning to enter the Mansion of the City Lord alone? That place must have tight security, teeming with experts, and losing your life there for nothing would be meaningless!] [Suddenly, she looked up at you and said calmly, So, do you need my help? If you do, please dont keep it to yourself.] Luo Xi paused for a moment. The Mansion of the City Lord was surely the most crucial nerve center of the city, and with his current situation, it was impossible to break in alone through the front door, let alone replicate those two instances of operating armor to rush in and wreak havoc. If he had such power, why not just joyfully slaughter all those hidden enemies instead? If it were just to meet his end, indeed it would be meaningless. Although what he was thinking was indeed to go and meet his end, to get as much information as possible before dying, then reset the time to today. Weier, with her ability to walk through walls with someone, could indeed be of help to him. However [Cat Cat noticed your hesitation, and the corners of her mouth lifted into a smile, I know you need help, right?] [Wait, I dont agree! Shopkeeper Lena wanted to interject, but she felt a tug on her hand and looked down to find Aina had somehow moved next to her.] [Aina smiled faintly, saying, Sister Lena, Weier is very serious, regardless, Aina trusts them, and perhaps Sister Lena should too?] Luo Xi: . What does it feel like to be trusted like this by two Beast Eared Girls? Despite having only spent a few days together. [Note: This is all thanks to the pitiful Travelers powerful strategy for winning over Beast Eared Lolitas. Swap in two twenty-something adult women, and you, Traveler, would probably have been kicked to the curb long ago, not to mention, a scrubby traveler like you might not even take a look and would have bolted by now.] Luo Xi: (p). Damn Text, your points are well made, but please, no more. [Traveler, you spoke, I indeed need your help, Weier.] [Lena immediately became agitated, You bastard want to go crazy and seek death, dont drag Weier down with you!] [Traveler, you said earnestly, She wont come to harm.] [Lena glared at you, Where do you get the confidence?] [Traveler, you looked at the shopkeeper fearlessly, knowing that even if you said the confidence came from yourself, it would only make her scoff in her heart.] [Pfft] [Weier suddenly laughed, turning her head to the shopkeeper, Its fine, Sister Lena. Nobody values their life more than I do. Who can catch me if I decide to run? My abilities are most suited for scouting too. Letting Luo Xi go alone definitely isnt as good as both of us teaming up.] [Lena was silent for a while, then said, Then Ill go too.] [More people would only increase the chance of being exposed, Weier shook her head, My Mutation ability allows me to take someone through walls, but its tricky with more people. Luo Xi and I are a perfect pair; he can either carry or hold onto me while I use my abilities.] [Ah, are you two planning to do a nighttime infiltration of the Mansion of the City Lord? Need any little help from me?] Sarch* The N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Luweiyas enchanting voice rang out from outside the restaurant, I can provide a basic floor plan of the Mansion of the City Lord. It should save you a lot of effort, right? This time, the information is free, sponsored by friendship.] [Lena stood up to look behind her, her voice cold, When did you come down!] [Dont rush, take a look at this first.] [Luweiya took out a piece of blueprint from her bag and laid it on the table.] [Traveler, you glanced at it and it indeed appeared to be the floor plan of a building, but only included two floors.] [Luweiya chuckled, The Mansion of the City Lord is huge, but the basic Business Floor is just the first and second levels. Anything further or more secret is out of reach for a small-time information dealer like me. But this should be better than having nothing at all, right?] [Thank you.] [Traveler, you took the floor plan and thanked her.] [It was around six in the evening.] [Traveler, you thought there was no time to delay and that you could set out now to scope out the area around the Mansion of the City Lord. After all, it took you a long walk to reach St. Sound Sanatorium during the day, and the Mansion of the City Lord was even farther from the inn than the sanatorium.] [It seems Shopkeeper Laina has implicitly agreed to the action you and Weier are about to take.] [After tidying up the things, as you and Weier get ready to step out, a forceful hand lands on your shoulder.] [Traveler, you turn your head to find Shopkeeper Laina looking at you with a profound gaze.] [She leans close to your ear, lowers her voice, and says, Dont let them down, otherwise I wont let you off easily.] [Traveler, you say, Of course.] [Brother.] [Aina runs over and takes your hand, speaking in a soft whisper, Brother Luo Xi, when you come back, Aina will sneakily reward you with head pats and tail rubs.] [Traveler, you pause, and say, Hmm.] [Your tone doesnt sound very certain] [For Aina here, you might not come back again] [Ainas expression slightly changes] [Those tea-gold eyes gaze at you, shimmering with moisture, Brother, remember the promise you made to Aina, okay? Aina will grow up well, and when Aina is older, you and Aina can get married.] [What? What are you talking about?] [Cat Cat, who has been waiting outside impatiently, walks back in, her face a picture of shock as she listens to you and her little sister discuss marriage.] [Traveler, you carefreely respond, Hmm, when I come back, Ill marry you, Aina!] [Ding! Weiers Shock Value +20] [Embarrassed by what you said, Aina looks down shyly, the insides of her wolf ears feeling flushed red, Its not about getting married as soon as you return Its about when Im older then But, its up to Brother, Aina will be alright either way.] [Ding! Weiers Shock Value +10] [Note: Damn Traveler, do you want to unlock a new achievement C marrying an underage beast-eared lolita?] Over my dead body! [The little wolf girl shyly runs back towards the restaurant, not coming out again.] [Traveler, you sense a killing intent coming from behind you.] [Cat Cats tiny fist rests on your back, and the girl crisply says, Oh, so youre a pervert. Ive underestimated you. When were you planning to marry Aina? Im really curious, how did you get so close to Aina in such a short time? You havent been doing weird things to Aina every night while I was asleep, have you?] [Note: Poor Cat Cat, doesnt understand what master at wooing beast-eared lolitas means. Beware of fire, theft, and Luo Xi, but alas, its already too late.] [Traveler, you calmly say, It was just a joke with the kid, you dont believe it, do you? And am I that kind of person?] [Tch, I think what you said was true. Youd dare deceive Aina with sweet nothings at such a young age. If my mom was still here and she found out, youd better prepare to lose a few layers of skin as penance.] [After speaking her mind, Weier, looking displeased, grabs your sleeve and drags you outside, leaving behind Shopkeeper Lainas mournful gaze.] [Shes known Teacher Liya since she was a child, after all.] [She still cant understand, as a stranger whos only made contact with Weiers group for a few days, and a male at that, how you managed to be so intimate with them.] [Originally, that should have been her privilege.] Luo Xi: Stop giving me that mournful look, Shopkeeper. I feel like Im about to get hit with a wave of nonsensical philosophies. He lies on his bed, looking at the dilapidated ceiling through the floating text. So, relationships are indeed the hardest to control. The bonds between people are something that progresses over time, and if todays time is reset, could he rebuild his relationship with these two lolitas to such a high level again? Well, it doesnt matter. He had already decided that the most important thing right now was to take them out of the quagmire of Winter City. If he couldnt save them, what use would high favorability be? [Note: A loli-con with correct principles!] Damn text, get lost! [After leaving the inn, Traveler, you take out various scrolls from your pack and apply their effects to you and Weier.] [You remember the depiction on the map, the Mansion of the City Lord is located in the Second Ring.] [In fact, the Second Ring isnt much farther from the Winter Divine Tree.] [Perhaps, today you might still have the chance to stand at the foot of the Winter Divine Tree and witness the true appearance of the Divine Tree up close.] [Delkus! How dare you!] [Traveler, just as you and Weier make your way into an alley, a thunderous voice, laden with fury, rolls through the air above the street, flying over your head and taking away countless snowflakes.] [You and Weier glance at each other, remembering the news Luweiya mentioned.] [It seems a fight has broken out at the Variant gathering place.] Chapter 136 - 136 122 The Despicable Traveler who Deceived ?Chapter 136: Chapter 122: The Despicable Traveler who Deceived the Beast Eared Girls Feelings_1 Chapter 136: Chapter 122: The Despicable Traveler who Deceived the Beast Eared Girls Feelings_1 [Traveler, you hear fierce battle sounds coming from over there.] [At the same time, on the surrounding streets, previously silent due to the intense cold, people gradually began to come out, curiously discussing towards that direction.] [You and Weier pass by them, listening to their words.] [Whats happened?] [I dont know, isnt Delkus the name of that demon from the Judicial Tribunal? Should we go over and take a look?] [HissThat one, huh? I wouldnt dare go, might end up risking my own life.] [Indeed, better not to join the crowd. Speaking of which, whats with the weather? Its been snowing for several days and the temperature is still dropping. Has it ever been this cold in previous years?] Luo Xi: . The name of Delkus could be said to be quite notorious. [Hey, are you interested in going to see it? The fight between the new deputy commander of the Winter Legion and the chief judge of the Judicial Tribunal, its like a clash of titans.] [That seductive voice suddenly rose from behind you, Traveler.] [Traveler, you turn around and indeed find that information dealer named Luweiya, who somehow had followed you.] [How did you follow us?] [Luweiya smirked with her red lips and said, I just want to save myself, after all. Placing all our hopes on you guys is something I believe you wouldnt want to see happen, right?] [Right, I was just joking earlier. Youd better not go over there. I have a feeling that their fight might trigger a troop movement within the Winter Legion, which is the perfect opportunity for your infiltration of the Mansion of the City Lord.] [Traveler, you ask, Are you also going to the Mansion of the City Lord?] [No, I plan to look for some descriptive materials in the various black markets that may still exist about that festival from three years ago. So this is where we part ways. I hope your journey goes smoothly.] [Luweiya suddenly leaned closer to you, her dark eyes especially bright in the nighttime, and you could even smell her fragrance. Unlike Weier and Aina, the two lolitas, this womans figure was curvy. Even through her thick down coat, you could see the undulating waves.] [Note: How does that old saying go? In the face of sexiness, cuteness is worth nothing. However, for a garbage Traveler like you, that might not necessarily be the case.] How is that not necessarily the case?! Damn it! I am a perfectly normal young man who also likes big sisters with good figures! [Note: Do you really believe that yourself?] Damn text! [The mysteries about you, I will surely uncover them all.] [Luweiya smiled at you, and after giving you those reminders, she disappeared in the blink of an eye.] [Weier glanced at you and, hunching her shoulders in discontent, said, Pervert, you were staring at that part of someone the whole time.] [Traveler, following Cat Cats remark, you look towards her small chest.] [Under the thick cotton coat wrapping her up, what was formerly a slight protrusion on the girls chest was now completely invisible.] [Weier hugged her chest and took two steps back, watching you warily: What are you trying to do? Today you touched my tail and ears to your satisfaction, and you tricked Aina into such a state with your sweet nothings that shes almost ready to marry you. You wouldnt be thinking of going even further, would you?] [Note: Hearing Cat Cat say that, what other deeds worthy of eating peanuts have you done, garbage Traveler? Toying with the feelings of a young girl and then planning to walk away, call the cops because this is the guy!] Luo Xi: ? Damn text, dont make me out to be some kind of pervert! Aina is so infatuated with me simply because I went a bit too far in my unwitting seduction of her today. Next time, it certainly wont be like this! [Traveler, you feel its necessary to restate your normal sexual inclination.] [You glance casually at Cat Cat and say, To me, you and Aina are still children who havent grown up. I wouldnt do those kinds of things to you even if I were a pervert. Be at ease.] [Note: Liar!] [Ding! Weiers Anger Value +20] [Ding! Weiers Anger Value +10] Hmm? Why is this Cat Lady getting angry over this? [Weier ignores you, takes the lead, and starts running ahead quickly.] [Seeing this, Traveler, you have no choice but to follow her.] [You are on the way] Luo Xi got up and moved his body. Truly an enigmatic Cat-eared Girl. Still, Ainas thoughts are pure, although sometimes she can be quite crafty. But Little Wolf Girl is simply too adorable, very cooperative when petted. I wonder how Liya managed to raise two daughters with such different personalities. sea??h th ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Note: All at your expense, Traveler. But garbage Traveler, you will eventually get your comeuppance. Those girls youve barely raised, one youre abducting, the other youre already deceiving.] Luo Xi raised an eyebrow and was about to retort at the Damn Text, but suddenly he heard a strange noise coming from downstairs outside. Rustling sounds. As if some creature like a snake was slithering up the stairs. There are several bushes around this old house; it really is possible for creatures like snakes to crawl in. Yesterday, Luo Xi heard a rat scampering in the corners of the house. Too bad hes not a Cat Cat and lacks the ability to catch rats. [Ding! Talent: Many Misfortunes activated.] A streak of white text flashed in front of his eyes. At the same time, an intense sense of crisis surged in his mind. [Ding! Talent: Sixth Sense activated.] Luo Xi immediately leaped off the bed. Smack! Just to see a sharp spike piercing through the floorboards and his bed from underneath, aiming for where his lower body was supposed to be. This was an attempt on his life! Luo Xis eyes narrowed instantly, as he drew the eight-forged steel machete from his luggage with a swift motion of his hand. The text before my eyes swiftly changed, and a title within the title column was selected by him to be equipped. [You have equipped the title: Butcher] [Description: Upon equipping this title, anyone whose Tier or willpower is not higher than yours will be intimidated by your aura upon first meeting you] Bang! The door to the balcony, as well as the room door, were forcibly burst open in an instant, and two figures shrouded in shadows, wielding weapons, launched an attack on Luo Xi. Luo Xi took a deep breath. The moment he entered a combat state, everything in his surroundings seemed to slow down. At least two people, huh? Are they the player hunters Chu Tian mentioned? No clue when they started targeting me. Even in the Dream World, theyre still stuck in a quagmire, yet troubles are finding me in reality too. But, are you sure youve picked the right target? Im not some soft persimmon like Chu Tian that goes down upon the first strike. Whoosh! After closing within two meters of Luo Xi, the assailants movements halted for a moment, as if unsure of the reason to stop. Then, the cold longsword, driven by Luo Xis formidable strength, chopped through the blade wielded by the attacker from the left side of the door, and as the attacker looked on in shock, it sent his head flying! Luo Xi even felt it was somewhat effortless. Is that all? The person from the balcony immediately ceased their assault and turned tail, leaping down from the balcony and disappearing into the night. Downstairs, a commotion also began to stir. Luo Xi didnt chase after them. His agility wasnt high, and chasing someone at night really wasnt his thing. Besides, he had other matters to attend to. Luo Xi turned to glance at the room, now splattered everywhere with blood, and the corner of his mouth twitched. Damn, my newly rented house! This Many Misfortunes must be referring to my wallets misfortunes, right? Even though my Poverty Talent was replaced, why is it still such a hassle?! Luo Xi really couldnt be bothered to clean up the corpse and tidy the room; anyway, he was planning to return today, and if he encountered those losers who ambushed him again, hed just lure them out for another fight. His gaze swept over the headless corpse; his right hand, clutching the knife, trembled slightly. Killing someone for the first time in reality, it was still somewhat thrilling. At that moment, the text in front of him flickered. [Ding! You have killed an Otherworld Travelers physical body] [You can extract one talent from him and crystallize it, and also obtain some items from his belongings] [Would you like to extract?] Luo Xi clicked yes. Is this the reward for killing players Chu Tian mentioned? [Extracting] [Extraction successful, you have obtained the Talent: Iron Arm (Green/Excellent)] [Description: Allows you to turn your arms as tough as a hundred times forged steel] Seems like an okay Talent. A hexagonal crystal fell into his hand, along with a bunch of items hitting the floor with a clattering sound. Luo Xi glanced at them; it was probably the stuff from the dead mans belongings. Yeah, as expected, just a bunch of garbage, useless. He figured, if this bunch was so wealthy, they probably wouldnt be out doing these kinds of dirty, murderous deeds for money. Luo Xi tidied up the items a bit and then left the small building, finding an ancient bridge nearby where he sat on the edge, letting the breeze blow around him. His mood had settled down by now. Its incredible, isnt it? How things that happen in the Dream World can have such a big impact on a person? The former me would have probably vomited at such a scene, right? Have I become cold-blooded? [Weier seems to notice that Traveler, you seem a little off and she stops to ask, What happened? Why do I feel your killing intent was somewhat strong just now?] Luo Xi pondered as he read the text. Do feelings and emotional fluctuations in reality also manifest in the game on the other side? Then, can the Immersion talentwhich provides attribute bonuses under different emotionsbe used in reality? [Traveler, you say, Nothing much, but Cat Cat, why were you angry just now?] [Weier says evasively, I wasnt angry, I didnt ignore you on purpose earlier, its just because you called me a child.] [Oh, so that means Cat Cat, youre all grown up now?] [Weier looks at you warily, Why do I feel like youve become strange?] [Ding! Your Happiness Level +10] Luo Xi, looking at the river water sparkling with the lights of human life in the night, smiled. I guess I havent become cold-blooded after all. Chapter 137 - 137 123 The cats body is fragrant tiny and ?Chapter 137: Chapter 123: The cats body is fragrant, tiny and soft (*`)_1 Chapter 137: Chapter 123: The cats body is fragrant, tiny and soft (*`)_1 [Traveler, your mood seems to have improved a bit.] [Looking at the sulking cat in front of you, you wonder to yourself, is Weier throwing a tantrum?] [Its understandable, if you put yourself in her shoes. If you were someone who had been taking care of a younger sister for three years and were nearly an adult yourself, would you want to be treated like a child?] [Traveler, you say, Sorry, I shouldnt have treated you like a child.] [Weier is startled, then turns her head and says, You dont need to apologize so formally, Im not angry.] [Ding! Weiers Favorability towards you +5] Luo Xi: Such a tsundere Cat Lady, verbally disagreeable but honest in action. [Traveler, you continue on your journey.] [] [After spending an hour, you make your way through places patrolled by guards and various streets, arriving once again at the third ring.] [Heading forward, past those splendid buildings, you would soon reach the true heart of Winter City.] [At that moment, the dull sound of footsteps begins.] [Traveler, you and Weier quickly hide in the bushes at the entrance of a small villas courtyard.] [You see many people moving in the direction from which you came, all of them guards of Winter City, each one looking imposing and exuding an air of battle-hardened experience.] [Even a few power armors are marching behind!] [Compared to any power armor youve seen, those are clearly newer models, equipped with special sliding components for the snow, allowing them to move without walking on legs.] [After this group of soldiers leaves, you and Weier catch your breath.] [Weier exclaims in shock, Is there about to be a brain scramble there? Why have so many troops been mobilized in that direction?] [Traveler, you say, Who cares, now is a rare opportunity. Lets hurry to the Mansion of the City Lord.] [You and Weier, seeing the soldiers movements have moved far away, follow the points on the map again towards the direction of the Mansion of the City Lord.] [Soon, with Weier leading you, after slipping through a stone wall about eight meters high, you both experience a wave of mental clarity.] [A feeling unlike any in the third to sixth rings envelops you. With each breath, you feel your cells trembling, resonating with the external environment.] Sear?h the Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Weier whispers in awe, This is Yuan Su that has been refined a second time! Is it the gift of the Winter Divine Tree?] [Traveler, you see the towering Winter Divine Tree, now not far from you, only seven or eight hundred meters away. You spot the silver starlight twinkling among its leaves, like a sky filled with stars, with specks of light occasionally falling from above, landing all around.] [Traveler, you lift your hand, and as the starlight falls upon it, you feel the heat surging within you gradually quiet down. It soothes your body, which has grown weary from the fast pace of mutation in recent times.] [This truly is the real heart of Winter City.] [It is the dwelling place of those who can be called the nobility, the high-ranking people.] [The number of patrolling guards on the road has also increased.] [However, with the support of various scrolls provided by the store owner, you successfully evade these guards right under their noses, arriving near the Mansion of the City Lord.] [Thats as far as you can go.] [There are many soldiers patrolling the road leading to the main building of the Mansion of the City Lord.] [It must be said, the Mansion of the City Lord truly deserves its name, with a castle-like architectural style and an absurdly large footprint. The main building is brightly lit; loud noises emanate from within, leaving one to wonder what is happening inside.] [Traveler, you look at the Cat Cat and ask, Can we find a direct way in?] [No, the paving in these areas definitely has a skill-neutralizing or disrupting effect. The stealth scrolls Sister Laina gave us are useless here.] [Weier pulls down the scarf covering her face and says, We need to observe the patrolling guards and find a way around them from their blind spots; we absolutely must not be discovered!] [After discussing with Weier, Traveler, you think the best way to enter the Mansion of the City Owner is to wait for someone to change shifts and expose a weakness.] [But how long will that take?] Luo Xi frowns. Is it really this difficult to get in? It seems his initial idea of breaking into the Mansion of the City Owner alone at night was indeed a bit naive. Time ticks away, minute by minute. Soon, its around nine oclock. [Traveler, you and Weier finally seize the opportunity when someone rushes in from the outside, shouting about Judge His Excellency getting into a fight with Deputy Leader Yi Xi, both sides battling fiercely, spreading from the sixth ring to the fifth, and they can no longer be stopped!] [The Mansion of the City Owner instantly becomes chaotic, the noisy sounds inside stop for a moment, but soon resume. Subsequently, many patrolling soldiers gather and leave the Mansion of the City Owner, leaving the roads significantly less guarded.] [Great opportunity!] [You and the Cat Cat take advantage of the decreased patrols and find a gap to sneak into the Mansion of the City Owner.] [After stepping through various flowers that bloom even in winter, you come to the outer wall of the Mansion of the City Owner.] [Weier presses her ear against the wall, listens for a while to confirm theres no one inside, then lightly nudges you with her arm.] [Traveler, without needing further instruction from the Cat Cat, you skillfully hold her at your waist.] [In your arms, the girls weight seems almost non-existent.] [Such a light body, no wonder you called her a child. In your world, Weiers appearance and height would most likely make her seem like a middle school student who has just entered junior high.] [Note: So for you, Traveler, who has weird thoughts about the Cat Cat, youre really just a little-born garbage.] Luo Xi: (p). All I want to do is pet the cat ears and tail; how could that be considered a weird thought? [Lets go!] [Weier whispers, and Traveler, you holding the Cat Cat, directly collide into the wall.] [After your feet set upon the ground, a strong warmth immediately engulfs your body from all around, restoring the warmth you had lost from crouching outside for too long.] [Traveler, you feel a poke in your abdomen.] [Feeling discontent, the Cat Cat says, Let me down!]] [You put Cat Cat beside you and start observing the room environment.] [The room is large, with many wardrobes filled with a variety of clothes. The warm yellow light and cozy room temperature make it feel as warm as summer here.] [Is this a dressing room?] [Ding! Special area of Winter City unlocked: Mansion of the City Lord.] [You have gained half an hour of temporary dream synchronization.] [Would you like to use it now?] Luo Xi was startled. He didnt expect to be given another thirty minutes of temporary synchronization. But he didnt immediately choose to use it. Better to get a sense of the situation from the text first. [Traveler, you hear delightful and pleasant songs and dance sounds coming from outside.] [You go to the door of the room and gently open it a bit.] [Through the crack, you see a huge dance floor not far away, or rather, the grand hall of the Mansion of the City Lord, where extravagant lights are flickering, and many people are dancing wildly in revelry, with the aroma of food and the scent of alcohol pervasive everywhere.] [Traveler, you gently close the door.] [You feel what you just witnessed seems somewhat magical.] [The cold outside, the spring-like warmth inside, the guards busy to the point of distraction, these high-ranking people singing and dancing] [What did you see?] [Weier asks with curiosity, she comes over, opens the door a bit to take a look outside, then closes it again.] [Are these people having a dance party?] [Traveler, you say uncertainly, It seems like it] [Weier ??says, Why seems like it? Isnt it obvious thats what theyre doing?] Luo Xi: [Note: Damn, Traveler, just say what youre thinking?] Like hell Ill say, Damn Text scram! [Seeing you dont want to answer, Cat Cat doesnt press further. She points towards the door and says, What should we do now? Try to blend in first, or go directly to find the clues left by my mother here?] [Whats the use of blending in? To join them in dancing?] [Traveler, you ponder for a moment, then say, The ones able to hold such a ball must be the authority holders of the Mansion of the City Lord, it indicates that he is also present here, we must be careful.] [Hmm Luo Xi, dont you feel its a bit hot in here] [Traveler, you feel a tug on your sleeve.] [You look down and see Cat Cat has taken off her scarf and down jacket; her delicate little face is blushing due to the high room temperature, and the roots of Weiers human ears are all red.] Luo Xi: Kind of wanting to look. His hand trembled, and he accidentally clicked the temporary synchronization that the game had just given him. [Yes] Then he remembered that he was sitting on the edge of a bridge, hoping he wouldnt lose consciousness and fall into the water and drown. That would be quite the joke. Before his consciousness plunged into darkness, Luo Xi managed to roll over the bridge railing and lie flat on the bridge deck. Luo Xi blinked his eyes. The view in front of him was still blurred by a hazy layer of fog. However, he could still make out the general layout of the room and the silhouette of Cat Cats body. Weier, holding a pile of her just-taken-off clothes, tilts her head looking at him: What are you thinking?] Cant see her face. Damn, if only I had used the talent of Immersion first. Luo Xi shakes his head and says, Nothing, go check if there are other rooms around. [Weier says, I havent checked the right side, the left side seems to be a large bathroom, there are many people bathing in there right now.] Luo Xi is startled: Bathing? He glances at the clothes scattered all around. Goodness, this room must be their changing room then!] Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps arises, someone is approaching this room. Squeak Luo Xi feels a tightening on his hand, and in the next moment, he is pulled into a dark, cramped space. Shhh! Dont talk. In the darkness, Weiers lightly reddened pupils are also radiating a beautiful glow, she looks up at Luo Xi, raising her hand to cover his mouth, but ends up pressing her petite, soft body against his. The scent of flowers, escaping from the clothes and her body due to the raised indoor temperature, roams unimpeded in this confined space, invading his nostrils. [Ding! Your Happiness Level +50] [Ding! Your Happiness Level +30] [Note: Cat Cats body, small, soft, fragrant (**)Damn Traveler, dont deny what youre thinking now, denying is useless.] Luo Xi: Chapter 138 - 138 124 Where are your Fondling Hands touching ?Chapter 138: Chapter 124 Where are your Fondling Hands touching me!_1 Chapter 138: Chapter 124 Where are your Fondling Hands touching me!_1 Luo Xis brain suddenly crashed. It was a mingling of the sun-baked scent of some lovely flowers, the natural fragrance of the girl herself, and the various spices in the wardrobe that all assaulted his nostrils at once. Luo Xi couldnt help but take a deep breath. [Ding! Your Happiness Level +20] Is this what they mean by the ultimate joy of cat-sniffing? [Note: Garbage Traveler, this is not called cat-sniffing, youre smelling a cat-eared Lolita] Well, close enough. Luo Xi lowered his head to look at the girl whose height reached just around his shoulders. Her bright, light-red eyes showed a bit of unease and a fluster of embarrassment. Although the view in this dream state was somewhat blurred, with a layer of mosaic over it, his sense of smell and touch remained sharp. So when Weier pressed against him, besides the scent, Luo Xi acutely felt the warmth from her body and a softness in certain places. How should I put it? Cat Cat does have that something after all. To say she was voluptuous would be unrealistic; she was still a tender, unripe peach, but perhaps there would come a day when she would mature? Luo Xi couldnt understand what was going on with him; in just a short duration, his head was full of strange thoughts popping up. To be honest, he had never had such intimate contact with a girl in all these years. Damn, why do I feel a bit sad about that? [Note: Garbage Traveler, why be sad? Isnt it your own fault? You dead Loli-con!] Luo Xi (ب#). Damn Text, dont always jump out to make trouble at times like these! Cant you read the room? Squeak The door outside was opened. Several gentle and sharp female voices followed one after another. That bath was so relaxing, the large bath at the Mansion of the City Lord really is exceptional, with all sorts of materials for body care freely available. Ever since I came here last year, Ive been thinking about coming back. Speaking of which, wheres the young City Owner? Its been an hour since the ball started, why isnt he making an appearance as the host? Who cares about him? This ball is held by the Lord Regent, and the young City Owner is still too young to dance anyway, so maybe he wont show up, right? True, lets hurry and get dressed to join the ball. The Finance Ministers son seems to have come too today, if he could take a fancy to us, heh heh. Outside, the rustling of clothes being put on could be heard. Squeak The side of the wardrobe was pulled open, letting the light from the changing room in. Luo Xis heart tightened, and he raised his hands, wanting to shift a bit to the left when he felt a tightening around his waist. Weier hugged Luo Xis waist with both hands, giving a slight shake of her head to signal him not to move and make noise. Luo Xi then realized that this section of the wardrobe was empty, so it was highly unlikely that these people who had finished their baths would come here to look for clothes. As expected, the people outside started rummaging for clothes on the right side and showed no signs of coming over here. After taking the clothes out, the wardrobe was closed again, and it once again became a dark place void of any light. However, before Luo Xi had time to breathe a sigh of relief, in the next moment, he felt Cat Cat push him hard, causing his entire body to fall backwards. It was as if his body had plunged into a liquid; he didnt make any noise as he collided with the corners of the wardrobe and then silently lay flat at the bottom of it. Weier followed suit, lying on top of him with her chin resting on his chest. Squeak Right above where Luo Xi was facing, the upper part of the cabinet was pulled open. If they had still been standing, they would definitely have been discovered. From outside, someone questioned with perplexity, Hey, its not here either, where did my underwear go? Your underwear? Isnt it hung up here by me? Oh, pass it here for me, please, thanks. Squeak The cabinet door was yanked shut. Thump, thump Luo Xi felt that his heartbeat might have surpassed two hundred beats per minute. The tension was not just because they were nearly discovered just now; he sensed that the restlessly lying Cat Lady was also one of the reasons. It was rather awkward. Luo Xi had no idea where to put his hands. Wait, his right hand was already immobilized. Because of Cat Cats swift movement earlier, Luo Xi couldnt adjust his posture in time and was effectively pressed down completely. Now, Weiers body was on top of his right hand, and the slight softness that had made him contemplative earlier was now pressing directly against it. Luo Xi subconsciously gave a squeeze. It was warm and fluffily light. An even guiltier feeling than he had imagined. And then there was the sweet fragrance coming from the girl. That aroma made his head dizzy. [Ding! Your Happiness Level +20] [Ding! Your Lust Value +5] Weiers expression froze. [Ding! Weiers Anger Value +20] Cat Cat whispered in a barely audible whisper, Pervert, where are your fondling hands touching me? Can you stop moving around! [Note: Garbage Traveler, you are indeed a perverted Loli-con!] Luo Xi was somewhat too preoccupied to even retort at the Text. Was this his fault? Wasnt it an irresistible force? He didnt dare to move anymore and just lay there, taking deep breaths. Fortunately, the two women outside got dressed and left quickly. As soon as the sound of the door closing echoed, Cat Cat, who was on top of him, didnt wait even a second before rolling towards the cabinet wall, slipping through the water-like ripples to the other side. Weier pulled open the cabinet door and looked down at Luo Xi, who was still lying motionless, without uttering a word, her eyes filled with silent reproach. Half a minute later, the girl finally said in a deep voice, Arent you getting up, or do you want me to pull you up? Only then did Luo Xi come to his senses, standing up and walking out of the cabinet. He looked at his right hand, his fingers moving slightly. [Ding! Weiers Anger Value +10] Cat Cat hugged her small chest, her little face puffing up with anger, her ears flushed red, and her wavering white hair was translucent and beautiful. How was the feel, you perverted Fondling Hands?! Sear?h the ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The feel was good Luo Xi, seeing that Cat Cats resentment seemed to be emanating tangibly, quickly corrected himself, I didnt touch anything, I didnt feel a thing! [Ding! Weiers Anger Value +10] Cat Cat immediately turned her head away, tossing a headful of snow-like hair at Luo Xi, looking even more angry. Luo Xi: . He realized he had said something wrong again. But to correct himself now would only further provoke this cat-eared girl. Women really are troublesome. [Note: Garbage Traveler, you really are doomed to be alone. You might as well hurry up and elope with Aina youve already won over, the tsundere cat-eared girl is a being you cant handle] Damn Text, dont tempt me into doing anything illegal! About a minute and a half later, Weier finally calmed down and said, Lets hurry up and continue with our mission. Luo Xi curiously asked, Cat Cat, are you not angry anymore? Then, he saw a pile of stuff thrown at him by the girl. Luo Xi quickly caught them, finding a collection of woolen winter clothing and cotton-padded jackets that Weier had taken off earlier. Inside the City Lords Mansion, where the temperature was a warm twenty-some degrees, wearing these thick clothes would only make one feel dizzy from the heat. Use your storage capability to help me put them away. Weier glanced at Luo Xi and said, After all, getting angry at you, a pervert, is useless, and I know you didnt do it on purpose just now, so lets leave it at that. Luo Xi gave a thumbs-up and said, Cat Cat, you really have a big heart! Why do I feel like beating you up so much? Weier said exasperatedly, You perverted Fondling Hands, the way you talk makes me not want to let you off, youll see whats coming to you when we get back! Luo Xi: Dont panic, Ive got the Backtracking Method. When todays time is almost up, just get someone to kill me, and that will do. With so many guards around here, that should be easy, right? It should be Luo Xi shook his head, dismissing the possibility of backtracking failure from his mind. Getting someone to kill him was such a simple matter, how could it possibly fail? Luo Xi also took off his thick clothes and stuffed them along with Weiers into the Dreamland bag. After thinking for a moment, he said, I think we can try disguising ourselves, pretending to be attendees of the ball here. That way, it should be easier to move around. Sneaking around makes it hard to explore. Weier tossed a pure white dress over, Youre right, so go change into your clothes. Luo Xi: Nice one, Cat Cat, for trying to get back at me by making me wear womens clothing! He casually looked around in the dressing room, which he had initially thought was purely for females, but to his surprise, there actually were mens clothes available. After quickly changing, Weier was already dressed beautifully in a pretty dress, with a ladys hat on her head. Luo Xi blinked. He couldnt see clearly. But he had the feeling that Cat Cat must be quite pretty now. The two approached the door, opened it, and checked the situation outside. It was still the same scene of revelry from before, with a group of nobles cheering continuously, their bodies moving to the rhythm of the music. Along the path from the hall to this dressing room, many servants and maids were moving back and forth, carrying food and beverages in their hands. Luo Xi muttered to himself, Such a life of luxury, its comparable to those imperial nightclubs. Weier asked puzzledly, Imperial nightclubs? Luo Xi said, Anyway, its not something from here. Are you ready? Lets go out! He adjusted his gentlemans hat, opened the door, and the two of them walked out openly and confidently. Luo Xi walked ahead, with Weier following behind, the girl wearing a white ladys hat, slightly lowering her head so that only her eyes and the features below were visible. A passing waiter came over, offering a crystal-clear glass of wine with a smile. Luo Xi smilingly accepted it, took a casual sip, and then set it down again. Not bad. This is the finest wine from our City Lords Mansion, the waiter said with a smile. Sir, arent you and your companion going to join the ball? Luo Xi said with a smile, Im a bit tired, so Im just walking around. That shouldnt be a problem, right? As you please, the waiter replied respectfully. With his gentlemans hat on, Luo Xi exuded poise and charm, looking every bit the lofty noble. As far as the waiter was concerned, he was none other than a wealthy and distinguished young lord. Indeed, those involved in the ball were all of such standing. It never even crossed the waiters mind that outsiders might infiltrate the event. As for the woman following this young lord, she was presumed by the waiter to be his companion, though seeming a bit young, her looks were quite attractive. After all, these young lords have a variety of peculiar tastes, and it was not unusual for some to prefer younger companions. Chapter 139 - 139 125 How Long is Ainas Shelf Life Still ?Chapter 139: Chapter 125 How Long is Ainas Shelf Life Still Unlawful? _1 Chapter 139: Chapter 125 How Long is Ainas Shelf Life Still Unlawful? _1 The servant took a portion of pastries from a passing maid, placed it on a plate, and handed it over. Sir, would you like to eat something? These are freshly baked pastries from our kitchen. [Ding! Talent: Same-sex Repulsion has been triggered, the servants favorability towards you -50] [Description: The servant thinks youre the offspring of some high-ranking noble. Even if interacting with you makes him slightly uncomfortable, he still believes youre someone worth trying to curry favor with.] Luo Xi glanced at the text and smiled at the servant. He took a piece of the pastry, leaned down gently and placed it at the lips of the girl beside him. Weier paused for two seconds. Damn, what is this guy trying to do? Then she opened her lips and lightly bit into the pastry. The servants smile grew even brighter. [Ding! The servants favorability towards you +30] Luo Xi took the girls hand as he stood up and nodded with a smile, Thank you for the pastries, we will just stroll around nearby. Sear?h the Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The servant said with a smile, Please feel free to do as you like. The first and second floors are accessible to distinguished guests like yourself, but you will need the permission of the young master of the Mansion or a governing official to go any higher. Luo Xi nodded with a smile as well, Yes, I understand. He took the silent Cat Cat, walking along a corridor that led to an unknown destination within the Mansion of the City Lord. The servant watched Luo Xis retreating figure, thinking to himself that it was indeed the presence of a noble offspring C a class apart from ordinary people. He just didnt understand why he felt so uncomfortable just now. It must have been a feeling of jealousy that arose within him. That saying is certainly true; the gap between people can be wider than between a person and a dog. Luo Xi was unaware of the servants thoughts. According to the map provided by the intelligence shop owner, if he walked further inside from the hall, there should be a rather large atrium. Along the corridor, there was no one else, just bright lighting. Weier asked softly, Why did you just take something and feed it to me? Was it delicious? Luo Xi countered. It was quite tasty Cat Cat puffed out her cheeks, Im asking you a question! Luo Xi placed the remaining half of the pastry next to Cat Cats mouth, Theres still so much left, why dont you finish it? I wont eat! You really wont eat it? No. Oh, then I will eat it. Cant waste it. Luo Xi threw the pastry into his mouth and swallowed it in two bites. Weier looked up for a moment, then lowered her head again, emotionless. However, Luo Xi could feel from the grip of the girls hand he was holding that Cat Cat was not as calm inside as she appeared. Weiers small hand was also soft and tiny, petite enough that both of her hands together might not match one of his. Of course, squeezing them was a little painful for his bones. [Note: Perverted damn Traveler, arent you afraid of getting hacked by a chopper for teasing her like that?] Luo Xi flicked away the Damn Text with his hand. Afraid of what? He was prepared to restart anyways, so naturally he had to be bold. After not much longer, a warm breeze blew by, causing Luo Xi to freeze in place. In front of him lay an atrium of at least a few hundred square meters, with no snow on the ground but filled with many bright-colored flowers. It was warm as spring, and the wind that blew in was also warm. Incredible. Even though it was minus fifty degrees outside, the Mansion of the City Lord managed to create an atmosphere of spring and summer. Luo Xi looked back at Cat Cat and noticed that she too was stunned. The girl murmured, How did they manage this Greenhouse technology, I guess, Luo Xi thought for a moment, Its probably similar to a hothouse, but making it like this must cost a fortune. Weier shook her head, I dont really understand It seems weve found fellow enthusiasts who also find the ball boring and came to admire the garden, right? The central garden of the Mansion of the City Lord is quite nice, isnt it? A pleasant male voice rang out not far behind Luo Xi. Someone was approaching with light footsteps. Luo Xi felt his hand being squeezed slightly. Weier lowered her voice, I wont talk, you handle it. Since Luo Xi had handled the encounter with the servant impeccably, Weier was willing to let him take the lead. Soon, a tall man with an elegant figure approached Luo Xi, flicking away a few stray strands of hair from his forehead. He surveyed both of them with a pretty face and then turned to Luo Xi, revealing a gentle smile. [Ding! Talent: Same-sex Repulsion has been triggered, Xxs favorability towards you -50] [Ding! Xxs favorability towards you +60] Luo Xi: He could understand the loss of favorability caused by Same-sex Repulsion, but what was the situation with the 60 points he just got? Could this person be another Gay? The man was also startled. The moment he saw the youth who was about the same age as him, for some reason, his heart filled with displeasure, a sudden urge to punch someone surfaced. However, the temperament and appearance of the other party matched too well, making it hard for him to dislike him. So, after he collected his thoughts, that feeling quickly dissipated. Interesting. Extending his hand, the man smiled and said, My name is Gerxius. I am the eldest son of the warden of Winter City. May I ask who you are? Luo Xi also laughed, Luo, just an ordinary merchant. That was the identity he had come up with for himself. Its easy to be caught if one carelessly claims to be the offspring of a high-ranking official in places like this. Its better to fabricate a lowly identity; the other person might just fill in the blanks with their own assumptions. And what if it fails? If it fails, then it fails. Luo Xi hadnt planned on smoothly finding the things he wanted in the Mansion of the City Lord this time. Oh, ordinary? Gerxius shook his head with a chuckle, Those who can enter here are not ordinary at all. If you dont want to say it, then forget it. He looked down at the girl standing beside Luo Xi with her head drooped. She seemed to be about the same age as his sister. Is this your female companion? Hmm. Luo Xi nodded. Your taste is very unique. But people who like flowers cant be bad, right? Gerxius smiled, turned his back to Luo Xi, walked down the steps of the atrium, and then lay directly on the grass amid the flowers. Wont you join me to enjoy the fragrance and warmth of the flower sea? Luo Xi shook his head with a smile, We wont go down for now. My companion and I are here at the Mansion of the City Lord for the first time and are quite curious about this place. We thought wed take a casual stroll around here. The other party also smiled, Then I hope you have fun. Oh, and dont try to go up to the third floor. If guards find you and bring you down, itll be quite embarrassing for you, making you the laughingstock of the day. Sure, thanks for the heads-up. Luo Xi then took the girls hand again and turned into a corridor on the side. After walking for a while and seeing that no one was around, Weier spoke up, How did you manage to talk to them so freely? My heart almost stopped from the shock. It was okay, shrugged Luo Xi. I was just giving it a try. I didnt realize I had this talent for acting. If I had known, I would have applied to Central Film University. What Central Film University Why are you still holding my hand?! Luo Xi let go of Weiers small hand with regret and then asked a question he had always been curious about. So, Cat Cat, are you never going to grow up anymore? What? Think Im too small? Werent you dissatisfied with what happened in the changing room just now? Weier looked at Luo Xi with a dangerous gaze, her words carrying an implication. Luo Xi: Should he reply that he was satisfied or dissatisfied? Without waiting for Luo Xi to answer, Weier went on, Aina and I are born with Mutation Syndrome. Hence our growth and development from a young age have been affected by the Mutant Factor. The factor in me is probably from a small-size Cat Clan Origin Beast, which is why my development stopped three years ago. Three years ago, even considering his worlds timeline, Weier would have been around fourteen years old, right? What about Aina? Aina should still grow. Origin Beasts of the Wolf genus, especially those above the disaster level, are usually large in size. As Weier spoke, she suddenly looked at Luo Xi warily, Pervert, what are you thinking asking about Aina? Im warning you, shes still young. Touching her ears or tail is one thing, but those strange acts are off-limits! [Note: Dont worry, Cat Cat. That damn Traveler just wants to know how long the shelf life of the illegal Lolita Aina is~] Strange acts? Im not really a pervert Hm? But I can still touch the ears and tail? Luo Xi was surprised. Cat Cats boundaries seemed to be getting lower and lower. Turning her head away, Weier said, Even if I say no, arent you still going to secretly touch them? Luo Xi changed the subject, Speaking of which, since youre a born Mutant Patient, why isnt your mother one? Weier hesitated and then said softly, When my mother was pregnant with me, something happened at home that led her to inhale an excessive amount of factor. But since she was strong enough, she herself wasnt infected, though the fetus wasnt so lucky. Ainas situation is probably similar. I see Luo Xi fell silent. His keen interest in their cat and wolf ears, was that really okay? For them, these features of Mutation represented suffering and a curse, not parts to grant enjoyment and happiness to others. With a frown, Weier spoke, What are you thinking about? Nows not the time for that sort of thing. If you want to touch my ears or tail, we can talk about it after we return. Aina and the others are waiting for us to come back safely, understand? Luo Xi: Okay. Cat Cats boundaries had definitely lowered. [Note: All thanks to the training by you, that damn Traveler~] The two of them made their way up the spacious staircase. Meanwhile, on the fifth floor of the Mansion of the City Lord, through a corridor over ten meters long and in a bedroom filled with countless toys, someone suddenly opened their eyes on the bed and murmured to themselves, Eh, two strange guests Who could they be? My adoptive father didnt tell me there would be additional guests. Should I invite them to play with me? He probably wont get angry, right? Yeah, if I invite them secretly without adoptive father noticing, it should be fine, shouldnt it? Chapter 140 - 140 126 hentai (〃＞＿＜〃)_1 ?Chapter 140: Chapter 126 hentai! (ߣ)_1 Chapter 140: Chapter 126 hentai! (ߣ)_1 Mansion of the City Lord, second floor. The corridors and floors were carpeted in gold and red, while the walls were adorned with many paintings that looked exceedingly valuable, all bathed in the warm yellow light. Everything the eye touched was as splendid as a royal palace. Weier stood below a portrait, silently gazing up at it for a long time. Luo Xi had already walked about a dozen meters away when he realized he had lost Cat Cat. He immediately ran back to look for her. Cat Cat, what are you looking at uh, nows not the time to be looking at paintings, right? The girl did not respond to him. Luo Xi walked up to her and, following Weiers gaze, looked up as well. Although he could not make out the detailed features of the painting, he could still tell it was a portrait of a woman. Cat Cat murmured softly, Mom why is her painting here? Luo Xi was momentarily stunned, Is this a portrait of your mother, Liya? Weier nodded lightly. Luo Xi immediately leaned in closer to the portrait, trying to see through the fog before his eyes. Weier pulled Luo Xi back, saying with dissatisfaction, Why are you getting so close, pervert! Luo Xi said speechlessly, I just wanted to take a closer look, and can you stop calling me a pervert? Cat Cat nodded and said, Okay, pervert. Luo Xi: [Note: Forget about Aina, you trash Traveler, think about what youve done to Cat Cat. Youve touched her ears and tail, even ambushed her chest, who else but you deserves to be called a pervert!] No way! I told you it was involuntary! Luo Xi asked, So did you discover anything? Nothing, Weier shook her head. I only know that this oil painting is signed by an artist named Xili. The person in the painting is my mom, its a half-length portrait, but no other information was revealed. Actually, something was revealed. Luo Xi pondered, Since your mothers portrait can be hung on the walls here, it suggests that she must have had quite a good relationship with the Mansion of the City Lord back then. Yeah, Weier nodded. That Kilis said my mom was a special Skill Practioner hired by the Mansion of the City Lord, so their relationship may have been good. Luo Xi patted the girls shoulder, Lets go, there will be another opportunity to come back. Next time, Ill help you steal it if you want. The Dreamlands knapsack would be truly exceptional for stealing things. Weier nodded heavily. However, they had taken only a few steps when Cat Cat stopped again. She stared at the paintings on the wall, a look of astonishment on her face. This this is Before Luo Xi could voice his confusion, the girl started to run, looking at the paintings along the corridor. One painting, two paintings, three paintings. Weier ran faster and faster. Luo Xi also sensed something. He looked at these paintings that, to his eyes, seemed to have been obscured by a thin mosaic. Could it be? Were all the paintings along this corridor those of Liya? Could the former City Owner have been Liyas ardent fan? Or should I say a bootlicker? A maid, hearing Weiers hurried footsteps, came from around the corner. Upon seeing Weiers actions, she immediately cautioned, Miss, please dont run around; you may damage these valuable paintings! Luo Xi quickly went over to take hold of the somewhat distraught Weier. He showed a gentle smile to the maid, Sorry, this is my partner. She has always been very interested in painting and its her first time seeing so many beautiful paintings, so she got a bit carried away. Speaking of which, Cat Cat indeed had an interest in painting. In his knapsack, he still kept a piece of her naive artwork. [Ding! The maids Favorability towards you +10] Its no trouble, sir, but it would be better if your partner could control her excitement, the maid also smiled. These paintings indeed capture the essence so exquisitely. A lot of men who come here for the first time and see the woman in the portraits go crazy asking about her identity. Luo Xi glanced at Cat Cat, who was now silent and looking down. He asked, May I ask who is the subject of these paintings? Im quite interested as well. As expected, even an exceptional man like you is interested? Ah, its been three years, and no one recognizes her anymore. The maid smiled, Her name is Liya. She used to be the special Skill Master hired by our Mansion of the City Lord. I think she had a cooperative relationship with the Lord here about ten years ago? From the portrait, you can see how beautiful and attractive she was. The old City Owner pursued her for a long time. There are seventy-eight masterpieces along this corridor, all commissioned by the old City Owner for Lady Liya, costing a pretty penny. Luo Xi: Case solved, the old City Owner was indeed a bootlicker, and a top-tier one at that. He asked, Where is Lady Liya now? I dont know about that, but theres something you should know, right? About the old City Owners disappearance. The maid glanced to the side and then said with a hint of mystery, She vanished along with the old City Owner that night three years ago. Some say theyve gone traveling around together. What a wonderful love story, though it was rather irresponsible to leave the whole of Winter City in the hands of the young Lord Hill. If it werent for Governor Mazar handling things well, who knows what might have become of Winter City. Um Luo Xi cracked a smile. Cat Cat squeezed his hand suddenly, her nails digging deep into his flesh. Right then, a call came from the direction of the stairs. Gis, where are you? We need to replenish the tea and refreshments over here. Coming! The maid replied and then said to Luo Xi, Ill be heading downstairs now, sir. If you get tired of walking, feel free to come down for some tea. Yeah, Luo Xi nodded. After the maid left, Cat Cat released his hand, and Luo Xi looked down to find several red nail marks on the back of his hand. Weier squat down powerlessly, murmuring to herself, Mama couldnt have had that kind of relationship with the old city lord Its not possible. This cat-eared girl seemed like she was malfunctioning Luo Xi patted the girls head lightly, knocking off her hat and covering her eyes. Weier got up, pulling her hat back on and said, (>_<) Owwhat are you doing? Luo Xi said helplessly, You silly cat, do you believe everything people say? That last bit was clearly a baseless rumor. Dont you already know that your mother and the old city lord vanished together during the Divine Tree Festival? A rumor? Weier was stupefied, and then her eyes gradually brightened, Thats right, it must be a rumor. How could I be so stupid to believe that maids nonsense! Now that you know, lets hurry up and go; weve wasted too much time already. Luo Xi checked the remaining time for the sync. Less than ten minutes were left. Weier tugged on Luo Xis clothes and said earnestly, Thank you. Luo Xi joked, How about you pet me for a while as a thank you? Weier stepped back and said, Is there anything else in your head besides these things? Luo Xi subconsciously glanced at the girls chest. Weier took another step back and said (ߣ), You want to touch my chest too? No way! Pervert! Loli-con! Luo Xi: That damned Chu Tian, letting Cat Cat learn the meaning of that word; this vengeance, he would remember! Lets go. Luo Xi didnt argue with Cat Cat, choosing instead to quickly head inside. Weier paused for a few seconds before following Luo Xi, walking beside him. She whispered, Is it really okay for us to be wandering around so openly? Sear?h the ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Asking that now is meaningless, Luo Xi replied as he looked toward the stairs on the right side. Those led to the third floor. There wasnt just an iron gate at the entrance to the staircase, but also two guards in armor standing watch at the sides. They had finally encountered some guards. Compared to the plethora of guards outside, the security inside the Mansion of the City Lord was almost non-existent. When the maids and butlers saw them, they subconsciously treated them as VIP guests. Was the internal security so lax because they didnt expect anyone to dare breaking into the Mansion of the City Lord, or was it confidence in their own strength? If they found a spot out of sight, could they use Cat Cats abilities to silently penetrate the floor above and make their way up? But Luo Xi wasnt in a hurry to go upstairs just yet. Since he was able to see Lady Liyas portrait on the second floor, maybe he could find more things related to her. Just as Luo Xi was about to leave the staircase and continue exploring, a youthful voice rang out. Dear guests, would you like to come up and play with me? Luo Xi was taken aback. He turned around and saw a young child, who seemed to be around ten years old based on his height. At the moment, the child was leaning against the iron gate, while the two guards had kneeled on one knee, displaying utmost respect. From the guards behavior, it was clear this was a real big-shot. He had heard that the current young city owner was only about ten years old. Could their luck really be so good as to run into the owner himself? Luo Xi pondered for a moment. Forget it, there was no point in hoping for the best. It was clearly the owner himself. Weier tugged on Luo Xis clothes a few times. What do we do? Should we run? Luo Xi patted Cat Cats hand twice. Lets wait and see. Run? He hadnt considered running since he arrived. Luo Xi stood still, waiting for the child to make the first move. After about fifteen seconds, the child approached and extended his hand to Luo Xi with a smile, Would you like to come upstairs and play? I promise its a lot more interesting than the dance party downstairs. Luo Xi shook the childs hand gently and asked in as gentle a voice as possible, Why invite us to play with you? The child glanced at the still-kneeling guards behind him and whispered, If you dont want to be chased by a bunch of guards, you better come with me. Im quite interested in where you two come from. Play with me for a bit, and Ill let you go. I mean what I say. Otherwise, if my foster father finds out youve broken into the Mansion of the City Lord, youre as good as dead. A shock went through Luo Xis heart, How did you know that we The child said proudly, The blood of Sch?fers Family flows in me, and I am the current City Owner of Winter City, merged with the power of the Winter Divine Tree. I sensed you as soon as you came near without an official invitation. Luo Xi: . No wonder the guard force in the Mansion of the City Owner was so weak. This young City Owner himself was the most potent weapon of this place. And this lady too The child looked over at Cat Cat, who had been keeping her head down. However, due to the child being even shorter, he still managed to see Cat Cats face. Instantly, a look of shock appeared on the childs face. You are Auntie Liya Chapter 141 - 141 127 The cat is soft tiny and fragrant ?Chapter 141: Chapter 127: The cat is soft, tiny and fragrant, second bloom of the plum blossom (*`)_1 Chapter 141: Chapter 127: The cat is soft, tiny and fragrant, second bloom of the plum blossom (*`)_1 Weier began to panic. This child actually mentioned her mothers name. Combining with her previous observations at the Mansion of the City Lord, Weier was now afraid that this child had some sort of connection with her mother It couldnt possibly be that melodramatic, could it? She definitely didnt want to mysteriously gain a blood-related brother or something. Luo Xi, on the other hand, was wonderingjust how similar did Cat Cat resemble her mother? Lena, Luweiya, and even this young City Owner had recognized at a glance the blood relationship between Weier and Liya. He slightly turned, shielding Cat Cat behind him, just in case the child suddenly lashed out. Luo Xi himself didnt care much, but Weier was brought here by him. Before he retraced his death to today, Luo Xi didnt want to see the girl die or get hurt because of him. However, the young City Owner made no excessive moves. The child composed himself and said calmly, Play with me for a while, and I will let you leave. My adoptive father will soon return. If he finds you, you will undoubtedly die. Having said that, the child turned and headed up the stairs, seemingly certain that they would follow. Luo Xi looked back at Cat Cat. Weier nodded slightly. The young City Owner didnt seem very hostile toward them. She wouldnt miss out on any information related to her mother. Of course, Luo Xi was even less likely to give up. The two of them passed by the now-standing guards, who seemed to cast a cold glance at them through their steel armor, but made no move to stop them as they ascended the stairs. Squeak After the two climbed the stairs, the iron door closed behind them. The corridor beyond the third floor was even more lavish and grand. Even the handrails were inlaid with gold and jewels. Weier followed Luo Xi, looking at the paintings on the walls of the corridor and speaking in a low voice as they walked: These are all portraits of my motherand they are of even better quality than the ones hanging on the second floor. Why are there so many? Luo Xi looked at the walls of the corridor filled with portraits. Although he couldnt see the details of the paintings, it was clear to what extent the old City Owner was obsessed. Are you surprised? The young voice of the child came from the other side of the platform, where he stood at the stair corner waiting for them to ascend. Luo Xi and Weier hesitated and stopped five steps away from the platform. The child didnt look back at them, instead raising his head to gaze at a portrait and murmured, These paintings were all done by my father for a woman named Liya. I call her Aunt Liya. Not long after I was born, she gave me the name Hill under my fathers pursuit. Hill SheffieldI quite like this name. Weiers body trembled. Could it be? Could this child really be her The young City Owner, named Hill, continued, My mother died of illness shortly after giving birth to me. Afterwards, I heard that father always treated Aunt Liya well and wanted to pursue her. Most likely, these paintings were created during that time. But my adoptive father told me it was her who killed my father, and that even my mothers death was due to her tampering behind the scenes Weier: ! Luo Xi: At first, they thought it might just be melodramatic, but the plot took a twist, turning into a tale of the enemy responsible for the fathers death coming to their doorstep. Although Weier realized the situation was somewhat dire, for some reason, she felt relieved. Luo Xi moved closer to Cat Cat, wrapping his arm around the girls waist without a sound. Through the white dress, he could feel just how slender Cat Cats waist was. Get ready. [Note: Trash Traveler, youre taking advantage of Cat Cat again!] Weier slapped Luo Xis hand away. She knew Luo Xi meant to be ready to flee at a moments notice or to carry her to safety, but Luo Xis action, considering what had happened previously, always made her worry that the pervert might suddenly do something to her. Theres no need for you to be so tense. I dont really believe what my adoptive father said, The child turned around, smiling at the two below, Aunt Liya helped my father a lot and was quite kind to me too. I wont believe my adoptive fathers words alone. Just as Luo Xi and Weier began to relax a little, the child added, However, I still hope to get the real news from you. So, apologies in advance, but I will send you a gift as an apology afterward. In an instant, countless dazzling points of light, like waves, burst forth from the childs eyes, and like a tidal wave crashed towards him and Weier. sea??h th N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Ding! Traveler, you are being assaulted by the will of the Winter Divine Tree] [Your Intelligence is 11, judgment in progress Judgment failed You are about to enter a hypnotized state.] Hypnosis? As Luo Xis consciousness was about to sink into darkness, a multicolored light appeared before his eyes, as if a books pages had erected themselves, blocking those surging points of light. [Ding! Judgment successful! Traveler, you are immune to the assault of the Divine Trees will!] The young City Owner let out a gasp, covering his eyes and stumbling backward, falling to the ground. Weier shook her head vigorously and rubbed her eyes: What just happened? Luo Xi also looked up in bewilderment. Had something just come out to block what the young City Owner had intended to do to them? The child forced himself up against the wall, covering one eye while looking at Luo Xi and said in a low voice, You were actually able to block the assault of the Divine Trees will, causing me to suffer a backlash Who are you?! Without hesitation, Luo Xi said, Just a passing Kamen Rider. Ah? The child was startled and took a close look at Luo Xis attire. Damn it, youre not wearing a mask either, and youre not a knight, right? It was my fault just now. I shouldnt have hypnotized you. The godfather is coming back. You can come upstairs with me for now, or you can leave if you prefer. I wont stop you. Hill glanced at Cat Cat beside Luo Xi, covered his eyes with one hand, and limped upstairs, gripping the handrail. Luo Xi watched his frail figure and felt as if he had done something terrible. Cat Cat knocked Luo Xis hand away from her waist and said, Lets go. Dont just stand there. Its already come to this, I wont be able to sleep until I figure out the relationship between Mom and the Mansion of the City Lord. Luo Xi withdrew his hand somewhat regretfully and nodded, following her. At least so far, this little city owners mood had shown no fluctuation, even after Luo Xi had suffered backlash and been injured for some unknown reason just now; he did not harbor hatred or anger towards him. Wait a second, could his talent for repelling the same sex also have not been triggered? Luo Xi furrowed his brows. Cat Cat, can you tell if hes a boy or a girl? Judging by his appearance, hes definitely a boy, right? Weier asked with confusion, What do you want to know this for? [Note: The damn Traveler is wondering if theres a chance that the child is a Little Lolita.] Get lost, damn text! Luo Xi gazed thoughtfully at his retreating figure. Could it be that things like Favorability and emotional values are impossible to detect when it comes to those in control of the Divine Tree? The two followed the child up several flights of stairs, each floor seeming to be seven or eight meters in height until they finally stopped on the fifth floor. Within the brightly lit corridor, apart from the slender figure ahead, there was no one else aroundno servants or maids to be seen. Luo Xi found it strange. Did this little city owner not require anyone to look after him? Hill stood outside a large door. He turned to look at the two followers and a satisfied smile appeared on his lips. Then, he gently pushed the door open. In an instant, a waft of fresh air blew out from the door, and newly purified Yuan Su surged into Luo Xis body, making him feel a wave of comfort. [Ding! Your Happiness Level +5] Hill, with one eye closed, waved for Luo Xi and Weier to come in, Come on in. This is my bedroom. The godfather is already back. It wont be long before he comes here. Ive already erased the scent and traces you left behind, but if you just stand here, hell definitely see you. Luo Xi took a step forward and looked into the so-called bedroom. Youre telling me this is a bedroom? Luo Xi (?) stared at the room that was at least half the size of a basketball court. Mountains of various toys and supplies, and that bedcould it fit a dozen people? Weier was equally astonished by the bedroom. This one room was bigger than her entire home! Hill suddenly raised an eyebrow, The godfather is climbing the stairs; hide quickly! Luo Xi asked, Where should we hide? Under the bed? Hide by the wardrobe! The beds bottom is solid wood, the child said. Luo Xi was puzzled as to why this child wanted to help them. Although he couldnt feel the childs emotional fluctuations through the text, if the child wanted to harm them, there was no need to make it so complicated. Luo Xi grabbed the still dazed Cat Cat and darted towards the large wardrobe in the corner of the room, pulling open the doors to find it full of clothes and clutter, leaving no room to hide. How can we hide like this? Hill came over to look and frowned. He glanced around and noticed a long, rectangular storage box. His eyes lit up. Use that box. I remember its empty inside. The two of you might be able to squeeze in. Weier: Hill urged, Hurry up! The godfather is already on the fourth floor! Cat Cat heaved a sigh and taking the lead, threw Luo Xi towards the box before quickly following behind. They both crashed into the box and after a ripple of water-like waves dispersed, the box remained closed, but they had already entered. Hill blinked, Oh? So its that kind of ability? Seems fun. He then pressed down firmly on the box lid, sealing the gap on top. As a result, the inside of the box plunged into complete darkness without a sliver of light. The box was cramped because it wasnt entirely empty; there were many items at the bottom, and it was a long, narrow box. Therefore, the two people inside were essentially on top of each other. If not for Weiers petite body, it might have been even more of a tight squeeze. Luo Xi: The sweet scent of the girl so close by playfully made its way into his nostrils along with her hair. And that light, soft sensation. Why did this scene feel somewhat familiar [Note: Soft, tiny, fragrant Cat Cat (*`), go on and pet to your hearts content, damn Traveler~] Weier whispered in a lowered voice, Pervert, Im warning you, dont move! Chapter 142 - 142 128 Weier Fortunately I didnt hand over ?Chapter 142: Chapter 128 Weier: Fortunately, I didnt hand over Aina to this Loli-obsessed one _1 Chapter 142: Chapter 128 Weier: Fortunately, I didnt hand over Aina to this Loli-obsessed one _1 Weiers heart was pounding furiously at this moment. Why is this box so narrow? If only there was a little more space. She felt her body was so hot she could die, unsure if it was because of Luo Xis body heat or the heat she was producing herself. After her warning, the young man below seemed to be much more honest, his hands not moving randomly anymore, but she still felt that Luo Xi, this pervert, might fondle her at any moment. There was no helping it; after spending these past few days together, the girl felt she had almost completely seen through this guy. He was a pretty good person, but his quirks were also very strange, to the point that she couldnt understand his affection for the mutated features on their bodies. There was also that Loli-con nickname Chu Tian had introduced, which indeed suited this guy pretty well. Otherwise, would a normal man be so enthusiastic about her sister? Aina had already been hoodwinked by this guy, saying she would marry him as soon as he returned. Weier suddenly felt somewhat relieved that Winter City had always been closed, so she couldnt send Aina and Luo Xi off ahead of time. Otherwise, if Luo Xi really took Aina away, could this guy truly wait until Aina grew up? Thinking about this, the girls right hand, which was on Luo Xis arm, grabbed it fiercely. Indeed, hes an irredeemable pervert. Luo Xi let out a muffled grunt in pain. He hadnt made a move yet, so why did Cat Cat scratch him? Luo Xi didnt know what was going through the mind of the cat-eared girl on his body, but if he did, he would definitely shout that it was a complete slander and injustice. Who knew that Aina was so easy to win over, a few nonsensical words and Little Wolf Girls favorability maxed out. Thats why he planned to maintain his image after rewinding time this time. Ainas favorability towards him was already quite high; maintaining that original level was good enough, now it was over the top. After all, Little Wolf Girl was only 13 years old, even if you convert it to real-world time, thats just over 14 years oldhe himself felt like a creep. Sarch* The ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. As for Cat Cat Ever since he knew Cat Cat was about to come of age, the guilt he felt when he petted her was not so strong; even if he accidentally touched there before, he didnt feel much guilt and even wanted to rub it again. For instance, now Luo Xis hands were placed on both sides of the box, intentionally not touching the girls body, but he felt he could barely contain himself any longer. To put it in plain terms, who could endure this? In reality, the threats from Weier didnt have any deterring effect on Luo Xis ears. He was purely controlling his own desires. [Note: Garbage Traveler, dont hold back. Just imagine a cute cat-eared girl lying on top of you, and due to external circumstances, you cant move freely at the moment. You could do all sorts of strange things to her, petting her as she is on the verge of shy ecstasy, yet she cannot make any sounds] Damn text, how much do you have a side job, huh?! Luo Xi chose to ignore the texts seduction. The situation was dire now, not a time for those things. He glanced at the remaining synchronization time with the corner of his eye. [Remaining synchronization time: 51 seconds] Its a pity theres not enough time; once this temporary synchronization is over, if he wants to come back, he can only use that talent that lasts only ten minutes. But that talent must be used at the most critical moment. It was a bit regrettable. Cat Cats body is so warm I heard cats have a higher body temperature than humans. When he touched his own Cat Cat before, he had a similar feeling; in winter, his favorite thing was to warm his hands on Xiao Bais body. Its just that Xiao Bai was already old, even if she had turned into a cat-eared girl, she was still long in the tooth, right? [Note: Garbage Traveler, youve exposed your true evil thoughts again! Not even sparing a cat, come over and have some peanuts!] Eat a hammer. As the remaining time approached 30 seconds, Luo Xi heard some heavy footsteps outside. He held his breath. Weier likewise didnt move at all, freezing all of her current actions. Soon, through the box, the somewhat muffled voices of a conversation reached them. Hill, wont you go and meet with your brothers and sisters? After all, this dance party is for you, so you should show up for a bit, right? My Lord Father, I dont see the need for that, the purpose of the dance is to socialize, to deepen the relationship between us, but Im only ten years old, even if they respect me on the surface, behind my back they definitely still see me as a child, so theres no need. Ah youve had a hard time, child. I still need to thank Lord Father for your help in managing Winter City these years, otherwise this city would likely have already fallen into disrepair. It is what your Lord Father should do. After hearing this, Luo Xis consciousness began to fade gradually. When he opened his eyes again, he was back on that bridge, and then he suddenly realized someone was squatting beside him. The person had messy hair, was playing with a smartphone, and in front of him was a piece of white cloth with a metal bowl and a card with a QR code on it. A sour stench assaulted Luo Xis nostrils. This was a homeless man. The homeless man saw Luo Xi wake up and immediately said, Buddy, now that youre awake, you better move along, this is my spot. Go find some other place. Luo Xi: He had no interest in competing over work spots with a homeless man, so he got up, ready to leave. Then, he touched his back. Fxxk, wheres my backpack? The vagrant saw Luo Xi standing there in a daze and pointed to someone on the other side of the bridge, Brother, youre looking for a bag, right? That guy over there just took your bag. I told him not to touch it but he wouldnt listen. Thanks. Luo Xi said in a soft voice and took a ten-yuan bill out of his pocket and threw it on the white cloth. Then he watched the text while walking to the other side of the bridge, where he saw a vagrant rummaging through his backpack, making a complete mess inside. He couldnt bother to waste words with the vagrant. He snatched the backpack back, dusted it off, zipped it up, and intended to leave right away. However, the vagrant tried to chase him down, Put it down! Thats my bag! Robbery! Luo Xi was getting agitated. Then, his hand shot out like lightning and grabbed the vagrant by the collar, pulled him up with a surprised look, walked a few steps, and threw him into the river like disposing of trash. There was a loud splash The sound of the water was exceptionally crisp. The fisher under the bridge was scared out of his wits. Someones fallen in the water! Save them! The other vagrant who had pointed out the thief to him was also startled. Who knew someone could actually lift a person with one hand and throw them off the bridge? This is outrageous! At this moment, Luo Xi had already left the bridge. He knew he had been a bit impulsive just now. The vagrant was just a common man, not like those player hunters who had attacked him before, but he didnt know why a surge of anger came over him, and then he couldnt hold back from acting. Luo Xi thought of a saying. Does bearing arms breed the will to kill? Even someone with a normally calm disposition like him could not control his emotions, so what about some players with bad temperaments? What would become of them after gaining power? Player hunters were probably that kind of person, right? Luo Xi silently looked at the text and walked aimlessly towards a certain direction. The conversation above had been going on for quite a while. He scrolled down, skipping the meaningless small talk between the boy and his foster father, and jumped to the end. [Hill, theres the Divine Tree Festival the day after tomorrow. Foster father hopes to borrow your strength.] [Hmm, I know. As the current City Owner, thats something I should do, right?] [Foster father means that there might be some misfortunes occurring, and he hopes you can lend me the power of the Divine Tree, just like the previous times.] [Okay I understand, foster father Lord, Hill will cooperate with you.] [Then you go and play on your own. Later, I need to check on the situation in the outer ring. Those two bastards still wont stop, and I dont know why Signo isnt acting. Hes not going to just sit there and watch his subordinates get killed, right?] [Is that Grand Judge Lord so strong? The flux in Yuan Su sensed by the Divine Tree tells me they should both be Third-tier.] [There are also variations in strength within the Third-tier. The legions kid has only been promoted for a year, so naturally, hes no match for that old man. Anyway, no matter how strong they are, with Hill here, Winter City wont see too much turmoil.] [Does foster father Lord need me to take action?] [No.] [Okay.] [With the sound of footsteps, the person who was talking to the little city owner seemed to have left the bedroom] [Squeak] [Traveler, the lid on your head loosened and someone lifted it off.] [You two, come out. Foster father Lord has left.] [Traveler, you looked up at the girl lying on your chest.] [Um] [Cat Cats face was flushed red, her lips pursed, her soft skin tinged with a faint cherry blossom pink, like a roasted little rabbit.] [Traveler, you asked curiously, Why arent you moving?] [Weiers voice was whisper-soft, I pressed my leg on something earlier, and now it seems numb. Please pull me up] [Traveler, you picked up the girl and placed her on the ground beside you.] [Hill watched you with a laugh, How did you two manage to get past so many guards and into the Mansion of the City Lord? Im somewhat baffled, but now its time for you to fulfill your promise and play with me for a period of time, then Ill let you go.] [Traveler, you asked, What do you want to play?] [First, tell me your identities.] [Hill sat on the bed, rubbed his right eye, and said, You already know my identity. I wanted to save trouble by hypnotizing you to get some information, but I failed, and now my eye is still aching.] [The boy was rubbing his right eye, and Traveler, you noticed it was a pair of beautiful blue eyes; merely gazing at them made one feel immersed.] [Traveler, you pointed to yourself and said, My name is Luo Xi, a traveler from far away, and this is my familys Cat Cat.] [Ding! Weiers Anger Value +10] [Weier stood up, kicked you, and said indignantly, Whos your familys Cat Cat? Dare to say that again?] [Traveler you asked, I thought your leg was numb?] [Its better now! Weier kicked you again, then turned to Hill and said, My name is Weier, and perhaps youve guessed it. Im the daughter of that Aunt Liya you mentioned before Were looking for clues about my mothers disappearance. Can you help us?] Chapter 143 - 143 129 The little kitten is going to be eaten ?Chapter 143: Chapter 129: The little kitten is going to be eaten by the trashy traveler, hehehe~_1 Chapter 143: Chapter 129: The little kitten is going to be eaten by the trashy traveler, hehehe~_1 [After Cat Cats self-introduction, the young lord lying on the bed lifted his eyes. His sky-blue eyes seemed to be filled with endless starlight, reflecting the speckled stars on the Divine Tree.] [Traveler, you feel as if you are facing a surging sea.] [But this time, there was no assault on your will.] [The child spoke in a calm and indifferent tone, slowly saying, They cant come back anymore.] [Traveler, you feel the girl beside you shudder.] [Then, Cat Cat firmly retorted, They can come back!] [Hill looked at the girl and smiled, Who doesnt wish for their return one day? Not just you, I too am always longing for my fathers return.] [So, this is also the reason why I didnt make a move against you after recognizing you. I dont want that tiny hope to be extinguished.] [Weier said, Then can you help us] [Hill raised his hand, interrupting the girls words, That night, I didnt witness what happened. All I know is that the next day, my father was declared missing, and a month later, I was crowned as the next City Owner.] [Lord Stepfather then said Aunt Liya ambushed my father, attempting to steal the Truth of Divine Tree. But then, something happened to the Divine Tree again, and it reabsorbed the True Canon. The Divine Trees backlash engulfed most of those present into its interior, including a whole elite guard squad of the Winter Legion.] [Now I control the Divine Tree, but I have not felt any of their strength or Yuan Su fluctuations within it. Even if they were alive at first, three years have passedwho could survive that long?] [Thats why I say they cant come back.] Luo Xi: . Again, the True Canon. He could basically infer that one of the reasons why Liya initially came to this city three years ago might be for this True Canon. [Traveler, you ask, Can you bring out the True Canon now?] [Hills eyes suddenly sharpened, What do you want to do? I almost forgot about youwhat exactly are you?] [Traveler, you hastily said, I have no designs on it, just want to have a look. Maybe I can find some clues. As for who I am] [Suddenly, Cat Cat said, Hes just a perverted loli-con, dont mind him.] Luo Xi: [Note: Cat Cat has already mastered the use of this term, Im quite relieved~] Damn text, what do you have to be relieved about its not like you taught it! The cursed Chu Tian, he had to mark down another tally for that guy in his mental notepad. Suddenly feeling a chill while lying in the hospital bed in real life, Chu Tian shivered. [Hill asked with some curiosity, I know what pervert means, but what is a loli-con?] [Cat Cat glanced at you and said, Its roughly a male who likes young girls] [Oh. Hill nodded, So it refers to men who like girls like you?] [Weier was taken aback] [She didnt know why the conversation could even turn back to her.] [The beautiful snow-white lashes of the girl fluttered, her pretty face blushing as she stuttered an incoherent defense, I Im almost of age! So, this has nothing to do with me, Im not some little girl] [Hill asked again with curiosity, If youre about to be of age, then why do you still call him a loli-con?] Luo Xi: Is this little City Owner a curious baby? No, how did the direction of their conversation suddenly change? Pull it back for me! [My sister was almost tricked by him into] [You have a sister? And she was by him] [Traveler, you really cant tolerate your reputation being discussed in such a weird direction anymore, and you interrupt their conversation.] [Lets continue talking about the incident that happened three years ago.] [Weier came back to her senses and also said, Lets not talk about this for now.] [After speaking, Cat Cat glared at you, the remaining blush on her cheeks revealing the unease in the girls heart.] [Note: Trash Traveler, the tsundere Cat Cat seems to have finally realized she too qualifies as a Little Lolita. Being a cat-eared Little Lolita, its destined for you to devour her, hehehe~] Luo Xi: .. Now, he was seriously doubting whether there was a real loli-con hiding behind this damn text. [Fine, well chat about it later.] [Hill shook his head in disappointment, Although I can now wield the Divine Tree Power and the True Canon, I cannot summon the True Canon itself. Lord Stepfather says this is due to my lack of strength, insufficient to withstand the consumption required to use the True Canon.] Luo Xis mind stirred. [Traveler, you ask, Was it possible before? I mean, when your father was still here.] [Hill said, Of course it was possible when my father was here. I have even seen my father summon that book seemingly carved with countless mysteries, levitating it on his fingertips before me.] [Weier thought of something and asked, Is it possible that your stepfather lied to you, and the reason the Truth of Divine Tree cant be used isnt because of your insufficient strength?!] [Hill was silent for a moment, then nodded, It is possible. Actually, I feel the reason the True Canon doesnt obey me is mainly that there seems to be an unknown seal placed upon it.] Thats it! [Traveler, you and Weier exchanged glances.] [Could this unknown seal possibly be the work of Liya?] [Why did Liya, who once had the chance to steal the True Canon, instead seal it away?] [Weiers lips moved hesitantly as she said, Could my mother still be inside the Winter Divine Tree? Then, how can we rescue her?] [Hills brow twitched, as if he wanted to say something] [Traveler, you glanced at him and said, Didnt you mention you wanted to believe in that slim hope? Then why not try making an effort? Over these years, have you really not even attempted once? Especially since you wield the Divine Tree Power.] [Hill shook his head: The Lord, my adoptive father, told me to use the Divine Tree Power only to protect myself and he would handle the rest.] [The Lord yet again, this adoptive father Lord.] [Traveler, you curiously asked, Who exactly is this adoptive father Lord to you? Was he very close to your father? Is that why you obey him without question?] [My adoptive father Lord is Hey, thats strange, when did he become my adoptive father Oh, thats right, he was appointed by my father as the first regent, thats why he became my adoptive father, handling various affairs within the city for me.] [Hill covered his head, his gaze becoming confused, mumbling something incomprehensible.] [Traveler, you sensed that something was amiss.] [That so-called adoptive father Lord, there was definitely something wrong with him; he might have done something to this young City Owner.] [However, being the current wielder of the Winter Divine Tree, would it be that easy to manipulate or influence him?] Wait a minute! In the end, does this child truly control the power of the Winter Divine Tree? [Cat Cat too looked at the young City Owner with surprise and tugged at your sleeve: Whats wrong with him?] [Traveler, you shook your head, indicating you were not sure.] [The adoptive father Lord has always meant well for me, yes, hes done it for my own good.] [Hills gaze finally cleared, and he looked around at you all, his eyes once again clouded with confusion.] [Who are you Why are you in my room?] Luo Xi: ! The young City Owner wouldnt happen to have amnesia, would he? [Traveler, the floor beneath your feet began to ripple, a sign that Cat Cat was using her power.] [As you prepared to escape at any moment, the young child pulled out a notebook from beside him, opened it to glance at it, then closed it again.] [Oh, it turns out youre here to play with me. Where did we leave off playing? Shall we continue?] [Ding! Your Shock Value +10] [He really does have amnesia?!] [Seeing your astonished expressions, Hill scratched his head apologetically: Recently, my memory is getting worse. I always forget what happened within the last half-hour. The adoptive father Lord says its due to the influence of the Divine Tree Power, that Ill overcome it when Im older, so Im sorry.] [Traveler, something seemed very off to you.] [The timing of these memory lapses was too coincidental.] [Why did they occur precisely when you were discussing Hills adoptive father?] [Traveler, even though you were uneasy, since Hills attitude toward you hadnt changed, the conversation could continue.] [Weier reintroduced herself.] [Hill also showed a warm attitude and didnt change his emotions abruptly upon hearing that Weier was Liyas daughter.] [Traveler, after some conversation, you tried to lead the child to recall something about his adoptive father] [As expected, a similar instance of memory lapse occurred again.] [After coming to, Hill once more asked you in bewilderment,] [Who are you?] [Weier looked at the childs eyes, her own eyes showing a trace of pity.] [Indeed, that so-called adoptive father Lord had done something to the young City Owner.] [Traveler, you sighed softly. While Weier and Aina were sisters, and although their mother had disappeared, they at least had each other for support. But this child had lost his only kin even earlier and was under the control of the so-called adoptive father.] [It indeed stirred sympathy.] Sar?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

What do you need my help with? Though I must tell you, they have probably already. ] [The child was as agreeable as before.] [Traveler, you turned to Cat Cat and said, The staff.] [There was no need to ask about the other matters again.] [Weier promptly asked, Did my mother did Liya ever research some kind of device that could automatically create weapons?] [Hill thought for a moment and nodded: Yes, youre talking about the device that spits out staffs when you put materials into it, right? Although theyre of inferior quality, the profit is quite considerable since no craftsman is involved. Its placed on the third floor of the Mansion of the City Lord, right next to Aunt Liyas personal workshop that she used to use.] [Cat Cats eyes widened: Mom had her own personal workshop?!] [Hill nodded: Yes, Aunt Liya was a specially appointed Skill Master. My father treated her so well, isnt it normal for her to have a personal workshop for her studies?] [Traveler, you asked, Can you take us to see it?] [But, Aunt Liyas workshop is sealed with a certain enchantment. I cant unlock it even] [Hill looked at Weier, realizing something: Can you unlock it?] Chapter 144 - 144 130 Cat Cats Warm Oupai Title Lucky ?Chapter 144: Chapter 130: Cat Cats Warm Oupai, Title: Lucky Pervert_1 Chapter 144: Chapter 130: Cat Cats Warm Oupai, Title: Lucky Pervert_1 [Weier subconsciously shook her head. She didnt know herself if she could open her mothers whats-it workshop.] [Traveler, you spoke up, Whether it works or not, lets give it a try first.] [Weier promptly came to her senses, Right, we have to try.] [When did Cat Cat become a parrot Cat Cat?] [Traveler, you noticed that although Weier is usually very clever, when it comes to matters related to her mother, her intelligence clearly declines.] [This was apparent from her reaction to the portrait of Liya she saw earlier.] [Hill pressed his forehead, rubbing it, and said, Trying isnt a problem, but how exactly did you two get here? I cant remember, my memory hasnt been very good recently, I always seem to forget things] [Traveler, after thinking for a bit, you said, Were already friends, thats why you brought us to your bedroom, and you also said youd help us find Weiers mother and your father. Have you really forgotten all of this?] [Note: Damn traveler, your ability to fabricate stories is getting stronger, huh~] [Friends] [Traveler, you saw the childs pretty blue eyes light up.] [Yeah, I remember now, we are friends!] [Hill picked up a notebook and pen, and jotted down a line of text.] [Traveler, you were curious what the child had written.] [After Hill finished writing, he put the notebook in his pocket and smiled, I wrote that we are friends, so even if I forget about you later, after looking at this notebook, Ill be able to remember quickly.] [Hearing this, Traveler, you felt a pang of sympathy and stretched out your hand, wanting to pat Hills head.] [The other party was surprised but did not dodge away.] [Traveler, you got to rub Hills head as you wished.] Luo Xi watched the text in silence. A young child longing for friends? Even with immense power, still like a caged bird, confined to a seemingly large, but in actuality, small bedroom. [Traveler, you quietly said, It must be hard, huh?] [Hill showed a lovely smile, No, not at all.] [Is this composed smile and a character that seems cheerful but is actually suppressed appropriate for a child of this age?] [Traveler, you suddenly felt something and looked back at Weier.] [Weier was also looking at you, her pale red eyes flickering uncertainly. Seeing you turn around, Cat Cat immediately turned her head away, muttering pervert.] [Ding! Weiers favorability towards you +3] [Ding! Hills favorability towards you +30] Luo Xi: . Its one thing for the tsundere Weier, but why did Hills favorability suddenly appear? [Traveler, you noticed the childs face flush, seeming shy under your soothing touch.] [You quietly asked, Um, can I ask if youre a boy or a girl?] [Hill was puzzled by your question but still responded, Boy.] Luo Xi thought it was a relief it wasnt a Lolita. Otherwise, the Damn Text would slander him again. [Note: Damn traveler, having a thing for little Lolitas is bad enough, arent you going to broaden your horizons now? You wont let even the young ones go?] Luo Xi: (T_T). Damn Text, shut your mouth! [Ding! Current favorability of Hill towards you: 50 (Friend)] [Description: Even though he doesnt know what promises youve made with him, hes willing to take your word for it and considers you his friend, willing to fulfill the previous promises you mentioned.] This favorability Luo Xi was thoughtful. The talent of like repelling like has no effect on Hill. After considering him a friend, the changes in favorability began to show. Sarch* The N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Is this also because of the Divine Tree? But to trust so easily what he said, this child is really naive. In other words, easier to deceive than Aina. Q~ Aina sat at the inns staircase, covering her little nose, sneezing. She wondered how Brother Luo Xi and Sister Weier were doing. They had to come back safely. Little Wolf Girl remembered the words Luo Xi said to her before he left. Her delicate little face tinged with a touch of red, her wolf ears perked up stealthily, and her tail swished from behind. After Brother Luo Xi comes back, does she really have to marry him? Did he mean it It seems real, but also not quite. And if her mother comes back, would she agree? She probably wouldnt be angry, right? (ߣ;) [Traveler, you lowered your hand, and through this head pat, you successfully gained Hills trust.] [Under Hills guidance, you left the bedroom and descended the staircase to the third floor.] [Exiting from the staircase and walking further in, you saw a spacious hall where a few guards were patrolling and a group of people were moving items in and out of a large door.] [Someone approached and respectfully asked, Lord Hill, what brings you here?] [Hill didnt even lift his head, Just looking around, .] [And these people?] [They are my friends. What, do you have a problem with me showing my friends around my home?] [No, no objections.] [The person immediately bowed his head and left, without uttering another word.] Chapter 145 - 145 130 Cat Cats Warm Oupai Title Lucky ?Chapter 145: Chapter 130: Cat Cats Warm Oupai, Title: Lucky Pervert_2 Chapter 145: Chapter 130: Cat Cats Warm Oupai, Title: Lucky Pervert_2 Hill said proudly, My adoptive father has gone out again. Now, wherever you want to go, as long as its still within the Mansion of the City Lord, I can take you there, and no one will dare to stop us.] [Traveler, you ask, Cant we leave the Mansion of the City Lord? Like going to the Divine Tree?] [Hills mood suddenly dropped, The lord does not allow me to leave the Mansion of the City Lord.] [Traveler, you know you cannot continue to talk about this adoptive father, otherwise Hill will lose his memory of this period again] [Hill led you towards that large gate] [Standing outside, you saw a huge steel machine inside. It was about five meters tall, about as big as a truck] [Several workers poured various raw materials into an opening, and after a short while, a series of wands were spat out] [They were all the same as the ones you had seen before, those poorly made wands with a black finish] [Hill said, This is the automated wand-making device that Aunt Liya invented. Each wand has a net profit of about 0.4 gold coins. Although the unit price is low, the quantity is substantial, and its quite significant. Both the military and private apprentices use these inferior wands as training equipment. Theyre dirt cheap, so no one minds if they get damaged.] [Weier stood outside for a while and then asked, Can I have one?] [Hill went to get one] [You found a secluded corner, and Weier dripped blood on the wand, getting the same rune prompt as the one purchased in the black market] [What is this? A message left by Aunt Liya for you? Why would she want you to escape from Winter City?] [Hill was very surprised; he never knew the wands sold by his family had such a hidden feature] [Weier didnt explain. She waved her hand to scatter the rune-formed words and then asked, Where is moms solo workshop?] Sarch* The n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Hill led you down the corridor for a while and pointed at a large door, Its right here, but theres some kind of automatic retaliatory rune seal inside. No matter what kind of ability, as soon as it gets close to the walls and doors, it falls into a silent state. If anyone tries to force their way in, they will receive a strong counterattack.] [Traveler, you ask, Can we get in by breaking the floor?] [Hill shook his head, The seal is on all six sides, attached to the walls, floor, and even the windows outside. The lord once tried to break the seal directly but ended up in a sorry state.] [Later, the lord asked me to use the power of the Divine Tree to destroy this place, but I didnt want to do that because it would destroy the support structure of the Mansion of the City Lord. This is the only home that my father and I have left. Then the lord agreed with me; he still cares a lot about me.] [Traveler, you feel that this so-called adoptive father does not really care for Hill at all, just like Rat King Noss with Weier, they are both pretenders with fake smiles] [Perhaps, is he afraid that too much stimulation might cause some issues with the child?] [Cat Cat, try if you can] [Traveler, before you could finish speaking, you saw Cat Cat eagerly reaching out towards the door. The moment her hand touched the wall, a ripple like that of water appeared, and she passed through without any obstacle] [After that, Weier squeezed herself right in] Luo Xi: ! Indeed, as a mother, even if its almost impossible for her daughter to come here, she still had some sort of backdoor prepared. But, Cat Cat, youre just going to go in without looking back? At least take me with you! [Traveler, you begin to wait nervously outside] Luo Xi: Why start getting anxious? [After a long time, a small hand suddenly reached out from the other side of the door, beckoning to you, Traveler] [Traveler, you reached out and grabbed Cat Cats small hand, looked back at Hill, and also took his hand. Pulled by a huge force, the two of you were brought inside together] [Ding! Unlocked area: Liyas private workshop] [Traveler, you landed on the chilly floor. The air here was stale, obviously it hadnt been entered in a long time, causing dust to be everywhere] [Inside there was no light at all, it was pitch black] [Traveler, you called out softly, Cat Cat?] [You received no response] [It seemed as if Weier had suddenly disappeared] [Hill?] [Traveler, you still received no response, but from the previous touch, he should have been pulled in by you as well] [Ding! Traveler, you have entered a special room, and you have triggered a temporary dream synchronization (???). Do you wish to use it?] Luo Xi narrowed his eyes. Another temporary synchronization. Have I entered a crucial place now? He took out his phone to check the time. Ten past ten. Almost two hours until midnight. Enough time. But why were there three question marks instead of the time display for this temporary synchronization? Is it a display bug? Luo Xi found a stone stool to sit on. Then he chose: [Yes]. As the consciousness of reality faded and he awoke in the character from the Dream World, he was enveloped in darkness, barely able to see anything. It was exactly as described in the text. Then Luo Xi checked the text for the remaining time. [Remaining time for this synchronization: ???] (_)??? Luo Xi also looked confused. So how long is this synchronization supposed to last? He softly called out, Weier?! There was no answer. Weier was supposed to have pulled him in, so logically, she should have fallen right beside him. Luo Xi tried stomping his feet a couple of times. There was only vibration, no sound. So thats it. All sounds in this place seemed to have been erased. So, both vision and hearing had been lost now? Luo Xi then started groping aimlessly around him. And then, he suddenly touched something soft. Hmm? Whats this? [Ding! Weiers anger value towards you +50] Heh, found you~ As for where exactly Soft, fluffy, and light as a feather (ꡥ*). The next moment, Luo Xi felt a small hand slap his face, though still without any sound. Ouch! This only meant that pain and touch sensations were still present. [Ding! You have obtained the title: Lucky Pervert] [Description: This is a title that only those men who accidentally took advantage of girls more than three times due to various reasons can get. Equipping this title will give you a higher chance of taking advantage of girls, but you will have worse luck doing other things] Luo Xi: What kind of strange title is this? Chapter 146 - 146 131 Isnt it inborn to grease the Cat-eared ?Chapter 146: Chapter 131: Isnt it inborn to grease the Cat-eared Girl?_1 Chapter 146: Chapter 131: Isnt it inborn to grease the Cat-eared Girl?_1 Lets not talk about the bizarre titles for now. Luo Xi (ini) covered his left cheek, taking deep breaths of the cold air. Weiers slap had made Luo Xis face throb painfully, and he felt like his ears were ringing. This cat-eared girl really didnt hold back when she got tough. Then Cat Cats little fist pounded into his chest, hammering several times as if venting, before the girl changed from fist to finger, drawing on his chest. Luo Xi squinted and concentrated. emmm He couldnt make out what Weier was trying to say. I know, Cat Cat, youre trying to communicate by writing, but not everyone is trained to read text this way, you know. Sarch* The novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. So Luo Xi grabbed the girls hand that was writing. Weier stiffened, then exerted force, trying to pull her hand back. But Luo Xi held on tight. Weier was suddenly at a loss. This pervert had just touched there and even deliberately rubbed it; now that he had caught her hand, what did he want to do next? Was he trying to retaliate for the slap? But today she had already been taken advantage of by this guy several times, that place had been touched twice, so what was the problem with hitting him? This guy couldnt possibly think that just because nothing can be seen or heard here, he could do those weird things to her, right? Thats not acceptable! No! Theres a third person here, no, even if there werent, its still not acceptable! [Ding! Anger Value towards you from Weier +10] Luo Xi didnt know what Cat Cat was thinking, but judging from the text feedback and the intensity of Cat Cats struggle, he could completely imagine the look of embarrassment and annoyance on cat-girls face across from him. Actually, he didnt want to do anything bad, Luo Xi merely wanted to use this method, to write himself and let Weier read it. [Note: You piece of garbage Traveler, so where do you plan to write? On Cat Cats chest too?] Luo Xi: I have to say, Damn Text, youre the real creep here. He was definitely not that kind of unscrupulous person. Luo Xi quickly scribbled on the girls palm with one finger. [Can you read this? If you can, hit me once.] A moment later, a small fist hit his arm. Luo Xi continued to write with his finger. [I couldnt make out what you wrote, so Ill write, if you think its okay, hit me once, if not, twice, okay?] Another small fist knocked him once. [Do you feel any connection with this place, Weier? Do you know the situation now?] Quickly, two gentle punches from Cat Cat landed on his shoulder. So Weier didnt know anything either? Strange, since Liya left a backdoor for Weier, even if there were measures here to strip away sight and hearing, they shouldnt affect Weier, should they? Or was this measure completely indiscriminate? Possibly, according to what Hill had said, even his adoptive father would have been in a very sorry state trying to barge in. They had already come this far and had not triggered the workshops defense mechanisms, which amounted to rubbing Weiers face in it. Speaking of which, where was Hill, the little City Owner? Suddenly, Luo Xi felt something hard poke him in the back. That should be Hill, right? Luo Xi turned and reached out to touch the others head, trying to confirm it. However, he did not touch Hills head but instead came into contact with something cold. Luo Xi: (```) Huh? Whats this? He swallowed, and felt up and down the object. It had a texture like steel, chilling to the bone, with a smooth surface, where he could even feel something like joints. Luo Xi realized that this was definitely not human, and quickly stepped back, bumping into Weier in the process, then got pushed back by the softness of her body. [Ding! Anger Value towards you from Weier +10] [Ding! Talent: Sixth Sense has been triggered] In Luo Xis mind, an image suddenly appeared of a screen going black under a violent pounding. He instantly turned around and hugged the Cat Cat behind him, lunging backward, taking the girl to the ground with him. [Ding! Anger Value towards you from Weier +30] Cat Cats little fists hit Luo Xis forehead silently, one after the other. A few seconds later, amidst the still silence, it seemed as though a gust of wind had arisen, chilling Luo Xis back. Weier also stopped her movements then. Though sight and hearing were gone, tactile sense remained. This gust of wind indicated something was attacking them, and with no small force at that. If he hadnt dodged just now, the consequences would have been unthinkable. She had thought Luo Xi, the pervert, was finally going to do something to her. [Ding! Guilt Value towards you from Weier +10] Weier sighs, Pervert, are you okay? Of course, she received no response from Luo Xi. Straight away, the girl felt her body being thrown into the air, and as she was, another fierce gust of wind arose. Weier adjusted her body in the dark mid-air, landed gracefully on the ground, and turned towards the direction the wind had come from. But even with her eyes wide open, she still couldnt see what was happening over there. What was it that was attacking them in the dark? But how exactly was Luo Xi evading the enemys attacks? Shouldnt he be just as blind as everyone else? The fierce gale kept blowing relentlessly, and Weier looked around anxiously, hoping to find a breakthrough. At that moment, a somewhat immature voice rang directly in her ear. This is the workshop meticulously arranged by Aunt Liya. That thing is merely trying to get rid of potential intruders at the moment. Both he and I count as intruders. It wont stop until we leave. Weier was startled. She realized that the voice belonged to Hill. Where was Hill? Why can I hear you speaking? Where are you? Im right here. A hand tugged on Weiers sleeve to indicate its location. Dont panic. I cant hear what youre saying, and Im also deprived of sight and hearing. However, relying on the perception of Yuan Su brought by the Divine Tree, I can feel your bodily outlines. As for the voice youre hearing now, its a skill where Im using Yuan Su to resonate directly in your ears. Listen to me. I could forcibly destroy that thing, but Im not sure what trouble might follow. It could lead to serious problems. Theres another way. If you really are Aunt Liyas daughter, then its highly unlikely that the thing she left behind will harm you. Thats why the workshop didnt initiate full countermeasures. Its trying to clear out the intruders in this manner to ensure your safety. So youre the key to stopping that thing! But this means youll have to take a gamble, a gamble on your trust in your mother! After hearing Hills words, Weier was once again caught in a burst of wind that shook her body, causing the ladys hat she had been wearing to finally be blown off, its whereabouts unknown. However, at this moment, the girls heart was no longer filled with panic. Gamble on my trust in my mother? Does this even need to be gambled on? Regardless of anything, Weier believed that her mom would never harm her. Since this place was her mothers former workshop and had allowed her to enter using her abilities directly, it indicated that perhaps her mother had anticipated todays situation, or rather had set up this contingency. Weier walked straight towards the direction of the wind without any intention to dodge the attacks. She couldnt see Luo Xi, but once she calmed down, she could sense the airflow from his movements. Following a gentle breeze, Weier grabbed Luo Xi, who was running to avoid the attacks, and together, they tumbled to the ground until they eventually hit something that brought them to a stop. Luo Xi: ! He was about to resist the person who had grabbed him, but the familiar sweet scent and the soft body behind him made him realize that Cat Cat had returned. But what was this silly cat trying to do? Let go, you dumb Cat Cat, let go of me! Were going to die! Luo Xi struggled to wriggle free from the girls embrace. But Cat Cats strength was so formidable, she once could kick a Minotaurs horn off. After yesterdays incident where the factor had eroded her body even more, her strength had increased considerably. So much so that even Luo Xi couldnt break free from Cat Cats embrace for the moment. As they struggled, their bodies kept rubbing against each other. The softness of the young girl was fully felt by Luo Xi. [Ding! Weiers Anger Value +15] [Note: Trash Traveler, youre just trying to take advantage of Cat Cat, arent you? Ive seen through you! You jerk!] Luo Xi: (ب#). Who would think about taking advantage at a time like this!? What in the world was Weier doing? He was doing so well, taking the Damn Text for a walk with his Talent: Sixth Sense, and now they were about to be hammered into meat patties together. Even though Luo Xi was already prepared to rewind the day, he at least wanted to open his eyes and see what was around. It felt like a loss to die like this. A few seconds later, the fierce gale descended from above. Alright, this is it. The next moment, Luo Xi felt his body loosen as Weier released him, and then something extended past his head. The gale ceased abruptly. Luo Xi could even feel that the thing was a mere few centimeters away from his forehead. Clap, clap, clap Suddenly, Luo Xis eyes saw light again, and he heard sounds. Several lights in the workshop seemed to have turned on. Luo Xi blinked; he finally saw that the thing which had been trying to attack him was a steel automaton about two meters tall, with fists bigger than punching bags hanging mere centimeters above his head. Hissso close. A slender little hand held the iron fist, preventing it from falling. Creak, creak, creak Noisy sounds spilled from the automatons mouth. Detection of a high-level rights holders intervention. Please confirm whether to continue executing the invader clearance plan? Weier spoke gently, No need. Creak, creak, creakCommand received, clearance plan will no longer be executed. Should the newcomers be marked as friendly visitors? Yes. The automaton slowly withdrew its fist. Cat Cat, what was that all about Luo Xi wanted to turn around and ask this bold cat-eared girl what she was thinking. If the gadget hadnt stopped just now, they would have died together. Wait! Dont move anymore! You refused to stop when I told you to earlier! Did you do it on purpose? [Note: Do you even need to ask? The Trash Traveler did it on purpose, of course.] Weier flung Luo Xi to one side and slid out herself. The girl, hugging herself and blushing furiously, glared at Luo Xi and said: Pervert! Loli-con! I shouldnt have bothered with you! I should have let you get smashed by that thing! Chapter 147 - 147 132 Appearance of Mother-in-law Grown-up ?Chapter 147: Chapter 132: Appearance of Mother-in-law! Grown-up version of Cat Cat! _1 Chapter 147: Chapter 132: Appearance of Mother-in-law! Grown-up version of Cat Cat! _1 Squeak, squeak, squeak After Weiers voice faded, the mechanical dolls head and eyes emitted a sinister red glow, and its body began to shake. A mechanical voice soundedA command from a higher authority owner detected, do you want to beat this person to death? Luo Xi: ??? Weier was a bit slow to react. When had she ever said to beat Luo Xi to death with this doll? Although this guy was a pervert, although he had made moves on Aina, although he had fondled her there, although At this thought, Cat Cat paused. Why did she feel more and more like this guy had it coming? A few seconds later, the dolls voice sounded again. Without secondary confirmation, command execution is proceeding. The doll raised its fist towards Luo Xi. Weier hurriedly shouted, Stop, dont hit him! SqueakCommand received, canceling action. Following Weiers order, the red light in the dolls eyes faded and its body returned to calm. Luo Xi also breathed a sigh of relief. This thing isnt an artificial idiot, is it? Feels like its intelligence is way behind the Spark in my power armor. Weier muttered to herself, This thing actually listens to my commands? So if I tell it to beat up Luo Xi a bit, just lightly, would it follow my order? Luo Xis brow twitched. Bad Cat Cat! Youve actually said out loud what youre thinking! No, thats exactly what youre planning to do! [Note: The tsundere cat-eared girl is being contrary. Its about time the crappy Traveler disciplined her properly~] But this cat-eared girl was not about to be disciplined. Luo Xi got up and walked over, extending his hand toward the girl sitting on the ground. Get up first. Then his eyes lit up. Her ladys hat from atop her head was nowhere to be found, exposing two cat ears. Although a bit blurred from the sync modes diminished vision, they still looked dainty and nimble. Weier turned her head away, sulking and refusing to look at Luo Xi. She still felt some parts of her body were numb and painful. It was all because she had hugged this guy, and Luo Xi had struggled hard. Why couldnt he have just stayed still? Afterward, Weier looked up to find that this guys fondling hands were becoming unseemly again, attempting to reach toward her head. As for where? Does she even need to think about it? Its definitely her mutated features again. This guy, really, give him an inch and hell take a mile. Slap Weier, without any mercy, swatted Luo Xis hand away and stood up, her face showing displeasure. Lets quickly look for clues here, stop wasting time! Luo Xi rubbed his hand that Cat Cat had batted away. He turned his head and observed the condition of the workshop. The lighting here was still quite poor with only a few lamps lit, but it was possible to see that the place was filled with equipment, devices, and various tools, spanning several large pillars. Right, wheres the little city owner? Luo Xi looked around, noting the slender figure standing under the iron doll. At that moment, Hills youthful childs voice sounded, I didnt expect that the automatic doll Aunt Liya made, even after three years, is still operational. I wonder what kind of structure the internal furnace core uses, to maintain such a long period of standby operation. My father, the lord, really missed the mark back then. Weier asked, Have you seen this doll before? Of course, it was personally designed and built by Aunt Liya four years ago, using a lot of precious materials. In the end, dozens of craftsmen bestowed it with a basic soul, enabling it to act following commands. Hill walked over, stroking the motionless iron doll and said with some melancholy, Back then my father always brought me along when he visited Aunt Liya. He would claim he wanted her research results, but in reality, he just wanted to talk and chat with Aunt Liya. But Aunt Liya was always busy with her research and wasnt too interested in speaking with my father. So, she ended up creating this automatic doll, which, as it turned out, wasnt quite what my father really wanted. Thus, it was left in Aunt Liyas care and remained in this workshop. Weier: Luckily, Mom didnt agree to the old city owners pursuit, or else shed inexplicably end up with a brother with no blood relation. But from the mouth of another, receiving insights about a side of her mother she never demonstrated in front of her and Aina, now that felt rather nuanced. Weier glanced around the workshop. The girl ran her finger lightly across the table, stirring up a thick layer of dust. Three years with no visitors had left a visible layer of dust here. Was this the place Mom had worked in for a long time? Before, when Mom said she was going on a mission, was she actually coming to Winter City and conducting research in the Mansion of the City Lord? No, its certain that Mom has ties with the Snake and Rat Meeting, that much is sure. So was Mom collaborating with the old city owner while conspiring with the people from the Snake and Rat Meeting to obtain something? Could it be the Truth of Divine Tree? But why did Mom give up after finally getting her hands on the True Canon? Weier was utterly at a loss. These questions could only be answered by those who were truly involved in the events of that night. Like Rat King Nos. Like Hills adoptive father, the lord. She really wanted to go back to that night and see for herself what happened. As Weier fell into contemplation, Luo Xi stood beside a table, looking down at the stack of books on it. Luo Xi opened the book and found that, just like the ones at Weiers home, it was filled with incomprehensible symbols. Various arrangements and combinations of symbols seemed no different from a celestial script. However, Luo Xi could still understand the words written on the covers of these books. [Rune-made Objects and Skill ScrollsLiya] [Detailed Explanation of Rune ArrangementsLiya] [Concepts of Rune ArmorLiya] Were all these books written by Liya? With such exquisite skill in the art of runes, a practitioner like Liya, if placed in reality, would probably be at the level of an academician, right? Luo Xi put the books down. Then he took off the hat on his head. Rune-made objects. The hat transformed from the scroll seemed to be a rune-made object. The description of the hat appeared before his eyes. [Yuan Su Furnace Core (Imitation, Quiescent)] [Quality: Purple (Epic)] [Category: Rune-made Objects] [Attributes: +10% (Skill, Ability, Weapon) Power] [Description: This is a special item that can only be created by skill practitioners of the Creation Series] [Completion: 80%] This was a work that Liya had left at her home on Grey Stone Street, and it was probably an important one at that. He wondered if it would be of any use here. Since he had used a load operation on the armor today, the hat was in a quiescent state and couldnt provide him with heat. But similar to when he found the staff in the black market, he might be able to find relevant clues with it. If all else fails, should he just pack up everything here and bring it back with him, then search through it slowly? Luo Xi considered the feasibility of this idea. Forget it, theres not enough time. The information he had obtained today was plentiful enough. Returning to the beginning of this day gave him more time to work with. Sear?h the N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Thus, Luo Xi, holding the hat, started to wander around here aimlessly. He was already thinking about how he would arrange his actions after the days regression. Luo Xi, dont just walk around carelessly. What if you break something? Weier called out from behind and followed, trailing behind him. Dont worry, I have a clear idea of what Im doing. Luo Xi had just finished speaking when he suddenly paused, stopping in his tracks. Behind him, Cat Cat bumped into his back. Weier, rubbing her forehead, said, Ouch why did you stop? Luo Xi murmured, Cat Cat, it looks like were about to strike it rich. Strike it rich? Weier looked forward and was also shocked. At the end of the hallway, a whole wall of shelves was filled with an uncountable number of scrolls, some of which were on the ground, discarded carelessly like trash. This had always been a question in Weiers mind: where did all the scrolls her mother painted go? So they were all here? Hills voice arose from behind the two: Those scrolls are trash; they are the result of Aunt Liyas failed research and were discarded. The usable scrolls were mostly given by Aunt Liya to the Mansion of the City Lord in exchange for research funds. After all, even if my father fully supports Aunt Liya, it is impossible to give her such a massive amount of funds unconditionally. Luo Xi: Damn it, he thought hed found a huge treasure trove. Weier didnt seem too disappointed. She looked at Luo Xi and requested, Luo Xi, can you take these useless scrolls away? And the other things, Im counting on you. Its possible, but Luo Xi took a step forward. Suddenly, the hat he was holding in his hand became scorching hot. In just an instant, it grew too hot to hold. All those scrolls that Hill had referred to as trash began to tremble lightly, as if resonating with the hat Luo Xi held in his hand. Then, the hat soared into the air and crashed into the scrolls. Whats happening Under the astonished gazes of the trio, countless runes emerged from the scrolls, swirling around the hat, converging, forming shapes, and finally, a figure appeared before their eyes. Weier, out of control with emotion, cried out, Mom! Hill was equally astonished, Aunt Liya?! Why would she be here Was the person who appeared Liya? Luo Xi suddenly widened his eyes. He wanted to see; he desperately wanted to see. Fxxk, he still couldnt see clearly. Then use the talent, the talent is meant to be used at times like this. [Current usable talent: Immersion (Happiness)] [Ding! It is detected that Traveler is currently in Dreamland Synchronization Mode. This talent can directly override Dreamland Synchronization Mode and gain the corresponding status enhancement. Do you wish to use it?] [Yes] [Ding! You have spent 598 Happiness Level points.] [Immersion (Happiness): Under this state, your character will gain a +59.8% bonus to strength, and your resistance to negative spirit-based skills increases by +59.8%. The talents duration cannot exceed ten minutes.] In an instant, the fog obscuring his sight dissipated. Luo Xi finally saw clearly the figure of Liya that had appeared before them. With long, cascading hair and skin as smooth as cream, her exquisite face resembled Weiers by about seventy percent. However, unlike Weiers white hair, Liyas was black, and her figure was indeed exquisite to the utmost; the light blue dress that she wore outlined a willowy and supple curve, and her ample bosom seemed almost ready to burst out of the cloth. The mother-in-law truly resembled an adult version of Cat Cat! [Note: Crappy Traveler, would you like to reclass from Loli-con to Fondling Hands?] Chapter 148 - 148 133 Cat your growth is not good look how ?Chapter 148: Chapter 133 Cat, your growth is not good, look how big your mother is_1 Chapter 148: Chapter 133 Cat, your growth is not good, look how big your mother is_1 Goddamn job change to Cao Zei, Im not Chu Tian, and I certainly dont have the ambition of a Cao Zei. [Note: So, Traveler, are you determined to stay true to the path of being a beast-eared Lolita lover without swaying?] Im damn well not a Lolita-con, okay! And, Damn Text, whats with your weird way of talking! Where did you plagiarize that from?! Come clean right now! Luo Xi grumbled inwardly about the Damn Text while continuing to observe the womans figure that appeared before him. Liyas body was accentuated in the pale blue dress, and her delicate, cat-like face didnt have a single flaw to pick at. Her black hair lazily draped over her arms and with a height of around 1.7 meters, even when she stood still, she emitted a terrifying allure that captured hearts. Hiss Luo Xi suddenly understood why the old City Owner acted like such a sycophant, creating so many portraits of Liya, that there were rumors he would give up the entire Winter City just to pursue her. With such a tempting figure and looks, it was impossible to tell that she was a woman in her thirties who had given birth. Just looking at her from a distance was enough to stir mens desires, so much so that even he started to feel his mouth go dry and his tongue parched. Luo Xi was somewhat curious about what Weiers biological father was thinking. Just because his daughter became a Variant, he wanted to kill her, causing Liya to have no choice but to leave home with her daughter? Its said that even tigers dont eat their young. Losing a daughter and a wifewasnt that a huge loss? Moreover, were they really unable to take care of a child with Mutation Syndrome? Liya alone was completely sufficient. One could only say that some of humanitys notions in this world were truly preposterous. If there were no other options, Liya probably wouldnt have brought Weier to Winter City, right? [Note: Traveler, I ask again, do you have the ambition of a Cao Zei?] No! But, is this really the living Liya? Luo Xi had already noticed that the Liya before him was somewhat translucent and not a physical being. After all, she was formed from the runes of the abandoned scrolls here even if rune-made objects were magical, they couldnt possibly conjure up a living person from nothing, right? However, as more and more runes flowed into this Liya, her figure gradually became more refined and clear. Weier walked forward in a daze, the young girl trembling as she extended a hand, trying to touch the figure that was so close yet so far. However, her hand grasped at nothing; she scattered some runes into little shining particles. When her hand passed through Liya, Cat Cats face instantly showed an uncontrollable look of loss. This was not the mother she and Aina yearned for day and night. This mother here seemed to be just a hollow shadow. Mom, why wont you speak, where are you exactly? The girl looked up at the illusion, calling out helplessly, hoping to get a response from her mother. But the illusory figure in front of her still hung her head low. Luo Xi glanced at the remaining synchronization time. [8 minutes 21 seconds/???] He spoke up, Cat Cat, you wait a bit, dont be hasty, havent you noticed how your moms figure is getting clearer? When it comes to matters related to Liya, Cat Cats IQ always seems to significantly drop. Recalling herself, Weier glanced at the nearby scrolls. The runes from the abandoned scrolls continued to pour out, entering into the illusion of her mother, solidifying her body. So, by the time this illusion is fully solidified, will her mom come back? Thinking of this, Weiers heart lifted with joy again, and she gratefully glanced at Luo Xi, thankful for his reminder. Then, Weier noticed that Luo Xi, this pervert, seemed to be staring at her mothers face and there continuously, and even though the illusion was clothed, she felt somewhat uncomfortable inside. Weier took two steps and lightly kicked Luo Xis leg, annoyed, Pervert, what are you looking at?! [Ding! Weiers Anger Value toward you +15] Luo Xi: Im just honestly admiring a beautiful woman, what are you getting mad about, Cat Cat. If I cant look, then how about you come over here and let me have a look? No sooner said than done, Luo Xi grabbed Cat Cats hand, and in her puzzled gaze, he pulled her over. What are you doing? Mmm Luo Xi held the young girl by the shoulders. He looked at the illusion in front of him, then back to Cat Cat, and made a quick comparison. Well, to say that Cat Cat was Liyas daughter, it would be more fitting to say that they looked like sisters. Liya was like a grown-up version of the tempting type without cat ears and black hair. Cat Cat, on the other hand, seemed to be a mini version of Liya, cute and with beast ears, but with white hair instead of black. Luo Xis gaze passed over the young girls chest. Its just that the reduction in size was a bit too large. Unfortunately, Weier might only be able to maintain this figure in the future; what were once excellent family genes have become recessive traits due to the so-called Mutant Factor. [Note: Garbage Traveler, dont feel pity, everyone knows what youre thinking about, a legal beast-eared Lolita as the best, right?] Where did Damn Text learn internet slang! Feeling uneasy due to Luo Xis scrutiny, Weier instinctively hugged her chest and said: What strange things are you thinking? Im warning you, you cant just touch me anymore! Itll make me angry! When have I ever touched you casually those times were accidents. Luo Xi prided himself on having bottom lines, of course, except when it came to petting ears and tailsthat didnt count, because even the laws of reality didnt forbid petting a beast eared girls ears and tail. Why do I feel like theres something off about your gaze Cat Cat followed Luo Xis line of sight to her own chest, then glanced at the phantom of her mothera patch of snow-white almost squeezing out of the clothes, strikingly eye-catching. The young girl immediately realized what Luo Xi was thinking. [Ding! Weiers Anger Value +20] Weiers cheeks flushed red, and with an o(>_<)o, she exclaimed, Pervert, chest attacker, go die! That puppet, come over and beat him half to death! Luo Xi: In the end, Weier still gave the command to the steel puppet that had already approached to cease its actions. Cat Cat, panting lightly, avoided looking at Luo Xi. Just thinking about him made her irritated. The young girl hugged her chest somewhat aggrievedly. She had also quietly compared herself to the phantom of her mother from before. Ooh, the gap was indeed huge. Actually, three years ago, her body was developing quite normally; otherwise, Luo Xi wouldnt have been able to touch anything soft during those previous encountershe probably would have only felt ribs. However, not long after her mother left, her development had stagnated, and she guessed that in another year, Aina might even be taller than her, right? She wondered whether it would be possible to tell who the older sister was just by their appearances by then Luo Xi chuckled from the side, Feeling more relaxed now? Weier was startled, turned her head with blushing eyes, and blinked, Did you do that on purpose just now? Her mind had indeed been a little overwhelmed before, after all, she had seen her mother whom she hadnt seen for three years. Was Luo Xi purposely teasing her to help her regain her composure? Luo Xi merely smiled noncommittally. [Note: Damn Traveler, your acting skills are truly becoming more exquisite!] Shut up! After watching for a long time from the back, Hill approached the two and said, Dont get your hopes too high. This phantom may not possess intelligence; perhaps she is just a rune-made object left by Aunt Liya. I do not understand the specifics. Aunt Liya went too far with the runes, even those Tier Five Skill Practioners probably do not have a thorough understanding of runes like Aunt Liya did. Weier said softly, Its okay. Even if thats the case, being able to see a shadow left by my mother makes me very happy. Hill fell silent. At least Weier had seen a shadow left by her mother, but what about him? All he had now was his adoptive father, Lord Adoptive father adoptive father? He is the Chief Officer, my adoptive father The young boy hugged his head, crouched down, and started to murmur in a low drone, repeating a bunch of incomprehensible words. Weier was confused, Whats wrong with him now? Luo Xi was also somewhat baffled. This time they had deliberately avoided mentioning Hills adoptive father, so why had he suddenly remembered on his own? Wait, had the boy mentioned he had only started losing his memory recently? If recalling something about his so-called adoptive father led to his memory loss, did that mean whatever his adoptive father had done to Hill was starting to wear off? So when Hill was on the verge of remembering, was it forcibly maintained through erasing his memories? If they could break whatever curse-like thing was on Hill Hill, wielding the power of the Winter Divine Tree, might just be their biggest turnaround! About a minute later, Hill looked up blankly, and upon seeing Luo Xi and Weier in front of him, he exclaimed: Who are you Is that Aunt Liya?! Is this Aunt Liyas workshop?! Why am I here? Luo Xi pointed to his pocket, Dont ask yet, check your notes first. Notes, right, the notes. Hill took out the notebook and read it, You are my friends, I am helping you to find Aunt Liya and my fathers whereabouts So thats how it is. Luo Xi turned to look at the phantom in front, Thats right, this is what weve achieved so far. Suddenly, the figure of Liya, initially motionless, began to stir, and her closed eyes slightly furrowed, as if they were about to open the next moment. Luo Xi: ! Could it be that a living Cat Cats mother was actually going to appear? No sooner had Luo Xi thought this than Liyas eyes opened completelythose were pale purple irises enchanting as a fairys, seemingly able to suck one in. Liyas gaze first fell on the girl in front, displaying surprise, joy, and then rage. Weier why would you come here, bringing the Furnace Core with you Youre not supposed to activate that, is someone controlling you? Has my work back then really not succeeded, pushing everything to the worst scenario? Mother sob, sob Where have you been these past three years Weier, unable to control her emotions, started crying, tears streaming down her face. She wanted to rush into her mothers arms, but after a few steps, she remembered that this was just an intangible phantom. Liya didnt answer Weiers question. Her gaze shifted to Hill, who stood there dazed, revealing a trace of guilt. Then Liya looked coldly at Luo Xi, her tone icy, Who are you? Luo Xi: [Note: This mans name is Luo Xi; hes a loli-con who is trying to abduct your two daughters.] Sar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Damn it! I havent even successfully abducted anyone yet! Chapter 149 - 149 134 The trial at which Mother-in-law ?Chapter 149: Chapter 134: The trial at which Mother-in-law fairly judges the wild boar eating her cabbages Chapter 149: Chapter 134: The trial at which Mother-in-law fairly judges the wild boar eating her cabbages Under the icy gaze of this woman who looked very much like Cat Cat, Luo Xi felt a sense of panic in his heart, and he took a couple of steps forward, hoping to hide behind Cat Cat. Save me, Cat Cat! However, Weier was quick to react. She wiped away her tears and grabbed Luo Xis arm, forcefully holding him in place to prevent him from slipping away. Is this guy trying to resist answering my mothers questions? No way thats happening. With tear stains still on her cute face, Weier managed a slight smile, Listen to my mom and come clean, you pervert! Luo Xi: This is Cat Cats mother, not mine! And whats this about coming clean? What does he have to explain? [Note: Or maybe its not impossible? Trash Traveler, hurry up and call her mom, then confess to the ten major crimes you committed against Aina and Weier.] What ten major crimes have I committed, damn text? Can you list them out for me so I can read them off? Luo Xi was internally criticizing the damn text, and was a complete mess inside, his mind a total blur. Hey, why am I panicking like this? Even though he was conscious in this world, this world was still an otherworld separated by two worldly barriers. Once the time came, he would return to reality. He had no reason to be so panicked over this. And as for the so-called abduction, it was just a joke (he was sure of it). After all, as a well-educated modern young man, how could he possibly do something so outrageously insane? [Note: Trash Traveler, do you actually believe what you just said? If there hadnt been an issue along the way, both beast-eared lolitas would already have been abducted by you. Now that youve run into the mothers of the two lolitas, youre in a real panic, huh~] Thats not called abduction! Its called traveling together! Truth be told, perhaps at first, Luo Xi did have a bit of that thought, to take them away from Grey Stone Street and start exploring this world. Having company on the road is always more comfortable than being alone. However, after entering Winter City and learning that Liya might still be alive, that idea gradually faded away. If Liya was still alive, it would be better for them to stay with their mother than to follow him into unknown dangers. Luo Xi was already very firm on this thought. He took a deep breath and said, Lady Liya, hello, my name is Luo Xi, and I am Weiers companion here. [Note: Trash Traveler, you should have said, I am your future son-in-law] Damn text, are you trying to get me killed! Companion? Liyas gaze fell from Luo Xis face, then swept over the hand that Weier was using to hold Luo Xi in place, and looked towards Weiers smiling face. Weiers smile at this moment was free from any forced emotion. This man whom she had never seen before seemed to have a good relationship with Weier. Weier also nodded and said, Hmm, this pervert is now, well, our companion, I guess. Since hes a companion, Liya asked with a puzzled expression: Then why do you call him a pervert, Weier? Luo Xi: Danger! Cat Cat, please dont talk nonsense! Because he touched me inappropriately Weiers face turned red, and she subconsciously hugged her chest. After realizing something was wrong, she quickly changed her statement: Because hes always messing with Aina, and he tricked Aina into saying shed marry him when they get back. Another icy and potentially lethal look was cast towards Luo Xi. [Note: Hehehe, stepmother, now you know about the weird things this trash Traveler has done to your two daughters, justices judgment is arriving soon!] Luo Xi: (TT). Tired, just destroy me. Cat Cat, you might as well have just finished what you were going to say. But its okay, no matter how bad my image gets in the eyes of this Liya, I can just die once before midnight and reverse time. The next time I come over, the situation will be different. Then, I will face Liya with a completely positive image. [Note: The Traveler is indeed trash.] Realizing she had spoken too harshly, Weier added, But although this pervert is a pervert, hes actually a pretty good person, and Aina really likes him. Its rare for Aina to be willing to get close to a stranger after so many years, otherwise, I would have driven him away long ago. Someone Aina is willing to get close to? Perhaps I can trust that. Liya withdrew her icy gaze and asked thoughtfully, What year is it in the Pan-continental Calendar? Hill took a step forward, his blue eyes looking at Liya, and said seriously, This year is 3970 in the Pan-continental Calendar, Aunt Liya. Liya slightly raised her elegant eyebrows, 3970 Doesnt that mean Aina is still only 13 years old?! Who the hell are you, kid? How dare you? My little girl is so young and youve already convinced her to marry you? Luo Xi dared not speak at all. After all, this was indeed the truth. Liya snorted coldly, Isnt one Weier enough for you? Do you intend to take both of them? Did you ever ask their mother, me?! Luo Xi: ??? What are you talking about, mother-in-law? Even if he wanted to ask, he would have to be able to. Moreover, if Liya had always been around, wouldnt Luo Xi have been blasted away by a skill if he had tried to nibble on her two big cabbages? [Note: Damn Traveler, you just want to take down two Beast Eared Girls at once, you pervert, Loli-con!] Weier also cried out in embarrassment, Mom! What are you talking about! Fine, I wont talk about it anymore. The Furnace Cores power is insufficient, and I dont have much time left. Liya sighed lightly, Its been three years since I was preserved here, hasnt it? These three years must have been tough for you and Aina, right? Not tough. Weier lowered her eyes and asked, Mom, are you saying that you here arent really you? Liya shook her head, Of course not, I here am just the result of a whim I had back then, an experiment. What it is precisely, you dont need to know, Weier. It is essentially built on a large amount of runes that I personally crafted to construct a historical projection of myself. If you hadnt brought that Furnace Core, I doubt I would have been able to appear. Whether all this is a coincidence or inevitable, I dont know. Weier clenched her fists, A historical projection? Liya pointed to her temple and said, Which means, my memories now only last up to the day when the real Liya last drew that scroll here. I know nothing of what happened after that, and much of the memory is also fragmented and missing. Hill finally could not help asking from the side, Aunt Liya, do you know what happened on the night of the Festival three years ago? What exactly did you and my father go to do? Why did you disappear along with so many elite troops of the Winter Legion? Me and your father disappeared with the elite of the Winter Legion? Liyas expression changed, Impossible, that wasnt part of the plan. Even if I had failed, your father should have been unharmed. Plan? What plan? Did you really attempt to harm my father, Aunt Liya? After saying this, light points began to twinkle on Hills body, and his emotions became unstable. Luo Xi and Weier felt an unbearably oppressive air around them, the chaos within the Yuan Su in the air continuously escalating. Liya uttered a light chide, Hill, calm down! Have you forgotten how many times your father told you to stay calm no matter what happens? Hills body trembled. Then, the released strength all returned to his body. Liya looked at Hill and said softly, Little Hill, I dont know what happened that day; I here dont have the memory of it. All I can tell you is, although I approached your father with certain intentions, I never thought of harming him. Hill said in a deep tone, Are you also after the True Canon of the Winter Divine Tree? Yes but also no. If it were just for the True Canon, your father would have already shown it to me. He was truly Liya shook her head, What I truly wanted was for what was it?! Liyas expression became troubled and uncertain. The her here was the historical projection of the original Liya. If this memory disappeared, it could only mean that Liya had deliberately erased this part of the memory while crafting the runes. She looked at Hill apologetically, Im sorry, I might not be able to answer you right now. But please believe in Aunt Liya, I never intended to take your fathers life. Hill nodded silently, pulling out a notebook and began writing in it. Luo Xi asked quietly, Ms. Liya, do you know what the Rat King Nos and the Church of Truth are planning to do to Weier? The day after tomorrow is not only Weiers birthday but also the Divine Trees Festival Day. Is there a connection? Do you have some form of cooperation with them? Although these questions might provoke the young city owner again, they had to be asked. Liya looked down slightly and said, If what Hill said is true, then that days me might have used a special rune seal. That seal probably cannot be forcibly broken, and direct blood heirs have always had miraculous effects when it comes to breaking seals. Weier might have been seen by them as a key to breaking that seal. As for those guys, Nos and the bastards from the Church of Truth are essentially in cahoots. I negotiated with them for mutual benefit. They needed the True Canon of the Divine Tree, and I needed Liya looked at Hill and explained, But I never considered them as true conspirators, I was just playing along with them. I wouldnt conspire with them to harm your father, either. I was planning to round them all up with your father afterward. He must have known about this I believe you, Aunt Liya, Hill nodded lightly. Liya then looked at Luo Xi, What about you? Youre the one who activated the Furnace Core, right? Strange, even as a Dragon Species Variant, you shouldnt be able to use that scroll wait, the Mutation factor within you, does it come from a Tier Five Sovereign-class Dragon Origin Beast?! Kid, come here! Let me have a good look at you! Luo Xi: He suddenly felt an urge to turn tail and run. Seeing Luo Xi unresponsive, Liya stretched out her hand, numerous runes arranging and condensing in her palm, a rune chain shot out, latching onto Luo Xis body. Luo Xi hadnt even reacted when his body began moving forward, floating towards Liya. [Note: Liya is going to punish the damn Traveler who nibbled on her two young cabbages, yay!] Sar?h the novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Her fingertips lightly touched Luo Xis arm, many strange runes emerged from her hand, entered Luo Xis body, and then quickly came out again, returning to Lady Liyas hand. Was she checking his body? Sarch* The N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Luo Xi felt his scalp tingle; he could neither advance nor retreat. That Yue Lady Liya, what are you trying to do? [Note: Damn Traveler, you should be yelling: Mother-in-law, dont! The one I love is your daughters!] You damn text really want me dead, dont you! Soon, Lady Liyas purple eyes lit up with interest as she stared at Luo Xi, as if she wanted to dissect his body and take a look. Perhaps it was just an illusion, but even though they were close, Luo Xi couldnt smell anything from Liya. Faced with such a beautiful woman up close, the initial heat in Luo Xis heart completely dissipated. He even felt his body shaking. It was the feeling of a weak prey being targeted by a hunter. [Note: Its like a wild boar caught stealing the masters white cabbage!] Thats not called stealing! The master is already gone! Lady Liya curled her right index finger and lightly touched her chin, looking like a curious young girl. Strange, even though the original lineage was that of a pure ordinary person, the dragon species mutant factor is volatile and unstable to begin with. Once infected, the erosion will only deepen, and even a pestilence-level dragon factor would be enough to make one suffer unbearably, let alone a king-tier mutant factor. Such a factors initial erosion and infection could easily lead to death; arent you feeling any discomfort at all? Luo Xi shook his head blankly. [Friendly Reminder: The Great Will has perfectly helped the Traveler synchronize with the initial fusion of the factor, so you wont have that feeling of dying at the start. Praise the Great Will!] Luo Xi: Praise my hammer, what the hell is this Great Will anyway! Truthfully, he felt almost no discomfort, except for growing horns on his head which were a bit of a hassle. If these horns grew any longer, probably no hat could cover them. Wondering if there was any way to get rid of them. Typically, mutant patients with dragon species factors suffer until the moment of death. Your situation is quite atypical. Lady Liya withdrew her hand and sighed softly, If my real body was here, it would definitely be very interested in you. Luo Xi: . [Note: Traveler, now that mother-in-law has taken an interest in you, the path of Cao Zei has opened! Keep in mind that the combined x2 of two Lolitas is nothing compared to mother-in-law!] Damn text, stop your nonsense! What Liyas talking about is dissecting him for research! And what are you saying with all those scandalous words! Mom, Ive noticed it too. Weier spoke from behind Luo Xi: This guy is really strange, the factor in his body awakened soon after I met him, and the degree of mutation seemed to deepen today, but hes been acting very normally all along, only showing some changes in his mutation features. Lady Liya pondered, Perhaps he has a high compatibility with this factor. Ive heard of people who were infected by high-tier Origin Beast factors and didnt suffer much, eventually transforming silently into new Origin Beasts while retaining their former intelligence. Luo Xi: ! Human could turn into an Origin Beast?! Seeing Luo Xis shocked face, Liya explained, Dispersing mutant factors is the only way for pestilence-level and above Origin Beasts to produce offspring, infecting and eroding other living things to induce mutation in their direction. Those who successfully mutate become its progeny. Thats why many men abandon their children who are infected during pregnancy. They feel that the Origin Beast has basically given them a green hat. Luo Xi instinctively turned back to look at Cat Cat, whose expression was equally astonished. Why would Cat Cats father abandon his own daughter, forcing his wife to leave home with her? Although he still couldnt quite understand, he felt that he might have grasped some of the reasoning. Lady Liya waved her hand and pushed Luo Xi back to Weiers side. Your issue can wait; well talk about it later. Since you came here today, you must be in a very dangerous situation. Tell me what youve found out C whats the situation outside? My time is limited, Ill try to give you some advice. Luo Xi looked toward Cat Cat and said, Cat Cat, you tell the story. Weier nodded and started to quickly tell their experiences from entering Winter City up to now. At this moment, Luo Xi suddenly noticed the clarity of his surroundings rapidly declined. [Ding! Talent: Immersion duration has ended, restored to ordinary synchronization status.] A few minutes passed before Weier roughly finished narrating the events of the past few days. After listening, Liyas expression became somewhat gloomy, but also a bit relieved: Youre really lucky, to have met Lena right from the start. Otherwise, things could have been much worse. Weier nodded lightly: Sister Laina has helped us a lot, and shes been looking for you, too, Mom. Ah I owe that child an apology. Next time you see her, say Im sorry on my behalf. I have to tell you something. Noss might have been watching you, Weier, all along. His ability can control all the rats in the city as his spies. He knows everything here. But he definitely cant monitor this place, so you can rest assured for now. He wants to use you, Weier, as the key to breaking the seal, but if that seal was set by me, it wont be so easy for others to break it. He definitely needs something else as a medium, something related to me. Remember, dont touch anything he gives you. The automated device I left should have been the last alteration to internal runes via remote control just before my true self disappeared. Its a pity you didnt get even a staff in time; you might have been able to avoid Nosss surveillance and leave Winter City earlier, instead of being in the situation youre in now. And Delkus, that guy has become the Grand Magistrate now. How many people did we lose that time? Havent all of Winter Citys higher-ups disappeared? The residents of the dead forest and Grey Stone Street perhaps he wants to use the Variants of Grey Stone Street to complete his Tier Four Omen. Lady Liyas expression grew worried: The current situation is truly bad. Actually, the best thing for you now would be to hide here. The rune seal Ive set here can fend off Tier Four powerhouses, but Im afraid they may become desperate when time is up I should have sent you out of Winter City earlier; it was my arrogance. Mom, dont blame yourself any longer. Weier glanced at Hill and approached, lowering her voice, Theres something else I need to tell you. Soon, Cat Cat relayed some of Hills affairs to Liya. Liya fell silent for a moment before looking at Hill and chiding, Hill, that so-called foster father of yours Listen, you dont have a foster father at all! No one dares to become the acknowledged foster father of someone recognized by the Divine Tree! That would be a blasphemy against the Divine Tree! I know Mazar, he was the First Governor appointed by your father. I wasnt clear on his identity before, but since he dared to be your foster father, he must definitely be someone from the Church of Truth. He might have used some high-tier skill to influence your mind. Normally, the custodian of the Divine Tree shouldnt be affected by ordinary skills, but with the True Canon currently in trouble, its not necessarily the case. You must remember, Hill, you have no foster father! Hills pupils dilated in an instant. Painfully groaning, he crouched down and covered his head with his hands, but he still took out his notebook and started writing with difficulty. I, have no foster father, the Lord who is called my foster father is fake. Hiss Suddenly, the voice of Liya speaking became noisy. Her body, which had already solidified, started showing many cracks, with the runes that composed her body constantly popping out and dissipating into points of light. Weier exclaimed, Mom, whats happening to you Weier, my time is running out. I hope well have a chance to meet again. Liya looked regretfully at her body that was fading away. Then, she turned to Luo Xi and said, Since you can use the Furnace Core, perhaps you can try some of the other things Ive left here. Luo Xi: ? Try what? With a wave of her hand, a box buried under many books on a distant table flew towards her. She said, The Yuan Su Furnace Core is absolutely unusable by ordinary people. It requires extremely pure fire-element Yuan Su to operate. The king-tier Dragon Species Mutant Factor inside you gives you the fitting conditions. It is the power furnace I designed for the rune armor, but back then, I only completed the Furnace Core. The rest of the components were only roughly outlined, and actually, the Furnace Core wasnt even fully completed. However, since youre capable of using the Furnace Core, perhaps the other components may also be usable. At this time, they might offer some aid. Close your eyes, and whatever you feel, do not resist. Okay Although Luo Xi felt something was off about her words, he obediently closed his eyes. In the blink of an eye, Luo Xi felt his body suddenly plummeting. [Ding! Traveler, you are under the influence of an unidentified skill. Assessment in progress You have no intention of resisting this skill] [Skill approved] Liyas voice rang out, Open your eyes. Luo Xi opened his eyes. Then, he found the environment around him had changed. All the accumulated dust and dirt had vanished, leaving everything bright and clean. Looking back, he saw that Cat Cat and Hill were gone. Dont worry, this is your dream. Luo Xi: . A dream again? What is this? A dream within a dream? He looked around in confusion. Liya, in her light blue dress, appeared to his right, the disintegration of the runes on her body having ceased. Bewildered, Luo Xi said, I thought you said you were almost out of time Liya turned her face toward him, looking very much like Weier, her eyes squinting in a fox-like smile. I am nearly out of time, so I need to use the last bit of it to find out exactly what youve been doing to my precious daughters. The runes I drew are also on the Furnace Core. As its current master, I can replicate some of the experiences youve had while using it. Luo Xi: ?! This was a trap! Indeed, the more beautiful the woman, the better she plays with peoples hearts. No wonder the old City Owner became Liyas fawning dog. Liya raised her hand and pointed forward, First, let me see what you did to Aina. A projection-like image appeared in front of them. In the image, Luo Xi was seen at the inn, casually petting Aina who lay on his leg while talking to the informant shopkeeper, rendering Aina into a daze. From someone elses perspective, this scene was quite If the police officers from the real world saw this moment, they would, without a second thought, pick up handcuffs and arrest the perpetrator on the spot. [Note: The damn loli-con traveler is about to be judged by his future mother-in-law!] Luo Xi: He felt the gaze from the side piercing and icy. Whats the best way to not feel pain when getting rid of oneself? Online, urgent. Chapter 151 - 151 136 Ill take care of your daughters you ?Chapter 151: Chapter 136: Ill take care of your daughters, you dont need to worry_1 Chapter 151: Chapter 136: Ill take care of your daughters, you dont need to worry_1 Luo Xi keenly felt the murderous aura emanating from Liya beside him. To tell the truth, he himself was somewhat reluctant to look at the projection on the screen. The image of a young wolf-ear little Lolita being petted by a strange brother until she was out of her mind, and then her mother witnessing it through some magical surveillance method, was very much disturbing to think about. Although Luo Xi actually hadnt done anything excessive, he still made a move on someone elses daughter. [Note: Damn Traveler, being personally judged by your mother-in-law for your actions, isnt that an exciting thing?] Luo Xi: You damn text just want to watch the world burn. The scene changed. In the inn, Aina blinked her moist eyes and shyly said, Aina will grow up well, and when Aina is grown up, brother can marry Aina Yeah, when brother comes back, Ill marry you, Aina, Luo Xi in the projection said without hesitation. Liya: From the expression and tone of Aina, it seemed that her little daughter had been completely deceived by this guy, right? Although Aina was not related to her by blood, ever since she adopted the child, she had regarded Aina as her own daughter. Now, seeing her little daughter being swayed away, she felt a very strong urge to hit someone. No wonder Weier said he was a pervert. What normal person would talk about getting married to a girl of this age? At least wait for another three years, right? But concerning Aina, the child who can smell the goodness and badness in people, could her closeness to this young man mean that he was just talking nonsense and his heart was actually very kind? Liya glanced at Luo Xi. The young man was hanging his head low, as if he didnt dare to meet her eyes. If he was willing to risk his life to break into somewhere as dangerous as the Mansion of the City Lord with Weier, maybe he was a good person after all. Let me watch a bit more then. The projection suddenly split into many images, where Luo Xis sneaky behavior of touching Ainas tail and ears while Weier was away was displayed in full view for Liya, along with him asking Aina if she wanted to marry him. Liya: ? Why does it feel like something is off? Why does this young man like to touch her daughters Mutation traits so much? Even the Mutant Patients themselves wouldnt have any favor toward their Mutation traits, isnt this guy a little too excessive in his liking? Luo Xis head drooped even lower. At this moment, all he wanted was to die and restart life anew. Fxxk, Remake magic, please save my damn life. Liya waved her hand gently. Lets see Weiers. Although Weier called him a pervert to his face, she didnt seem to have that much dislike for him in her heart. Liya was curious about what had happened between them. In the images, some scenes of Luo Xi with Weier were displayed. From Weier taking Luo Xi into the city. To arriving at Lenas Inn. Entering the black market and getting the magical staff. Conversing in the room before dawn where Weier had her tail and ears petted by this young man Liya: She was a little reluctant to continue watching. At that moment, in the St. Sound Sanatorium, Luo Xi, operating an armored exosuit as a decoy to attract gunfire so Weier could enter, appeared on the screen. Liyas pupils narrowed slightly. Wait! Whats this? Weier didnt elaborate on how they entered the sanatorium when she told her about the recent events. This exosuit is an old model, but even for an old model, most people couldnt possibly get their hands on it. How did you manage to acquire it? And whats with this storage Skill? Ah? Luo Xi looked up blankly and asked, Lord Mother-in-law, are you talking to me? Liya: ??? What did this guy just call me? After calling out, Luo Xi realized he had actually let the words Lord Mother-in-law slip out. [Note: Damn Traveler, youve got some nerve!] Shut up, damn text, its all your fault. Constantly saying Lord Mother-in-law has thrown me off! S~ea??h the ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. In a panic, Luo Xi blurted out a rambling excuse, I mean its like you have the broad and lofty bosom of a mother-in-law. Despite such a harsh environment, youve raised two daughters so well, its truly admirable Fxxk, what the hell am I even saying? Liya: ? So you are actually eyeing both of my daughters? Liya said, raising her hand, Stop, dont say any more, the more you speak, the more I want to hit you. Just explain how you managed to do all these things instead. She didnt know what the situation with her actual body was, and if she were alive to hear Luo Xis words, she estimated he would have died a hundred times over by now. Luo Xi looked up at himself in the projection and suddenly said, Ah, are you asking about this? Actually, theres something you might not believe, but Im not from this world. Im a Traveler from another world; this storage ability is innate to me, and I can even resurrect after death. Liya looked at Luo Xi with an expression that said Do you think Im a fool? Did this guy think she was that easy to fool? Although she was just a historical projection, she possessed Liyas wisdom and a part of her memories from that time period. Luo Xi immediately said, If you dont believe me, you can look further ahead, there should be footage of my resurrection after death. Liya waved her hand lightly. The scenes at the sanatorium began to fast-forward, however, during the footage where Luo Xi was struck by the skill and Weier carried him away, the screen went black and nothing was displayed. Luo Xi twitched the corner of his mouth and said, Um, Im really not trying to deceive you But Liya did not show any skepticism, her brow furrowed as she said, It is indeed strange, having been hit by a third-tier life shattering skill, youre too weak now, ten lives wouldnt be enough for you. That hurts, bro. Fine, Ill believe you for now. Strange things do happen in this world all the time. Its unfortunate that my real body isnt here. Liya pointed at the armor in the footage and asked, So whats the deal with this armor? Where did you get it from? A full suit of powered armor is not something ordinary people can get Wait a minute, is that a Furnace Core acting as the armors power source?! Luo Xi saw that Liyas eyes changed in an instant, filled with great anticipation. Luo Xi swallowed hard and said, This armor was originally a power-less shell, given to me by the owner of a workshop in the back alleys, Your Furnace Core has become its power source. Theres also a very strange little elf inside the armor that seems to be the will born from the armor itself The Furnace Core is a Rune-made object, which has a very low compatibility rate with ordinary armor. Thats also why I was trying to study the rest of the Rune-made armors main body, otherwise a Furnace Core alone isnt very useful. Liya looked at Luo Xi with an odd expression, You actually managed to make the Furnace Core compatible with the old-fashioned powered armor. Even if it was just luck, its enough to prove you have extraordinary talent. As for the will you mentioned, its probably a soul born within the armor, which isnt surprising. Luo Xi: This was the first time Liya praised him since he met her. But Mother-in-Law, are you sure that Spark elf isnt surprising? A little spirit that speaks in nothing but innuendos when taken out of context feels really weird, okay! Liya continued, As for those unfinished rune scrolls, you can try to combine them with the Furnace Core when the time comes. If it really doesnt work, then just forget about it. I doubt it will work; the scrolls are far from completion. A full set of Rune-made armor might not be something a skill practitioner of my level could create. Luo Xi unconsciously nodded. Hmm, so Liya isnt going to hold him accountable for petting her daughters? Wishful thinking. The projected footage continued to play. Soon, it came to the scene where Luo Xi and Weier both entered the Mansion of the City Lord. Ah, this Luo Xi felt the urge to leg it. Too bad theres no escape. Liya also successfully saw the footage of Luo Xi cop a feel a few times. Just that night, Weier was touched three or four times. Although Luo Xi may not have done it on purpose, as a mother, seeing her daughter being taken advantage of by a man always stirred some anger. Liya waved her hand and the projection disappeared, her figure becoming increasingly blurred. Hey, I wanted to linger a bit longer, but now it seems like time is truly up. Luo Xi blinked, Lady Liya, are you about to completely dissipate? Liya glanced sidelong at Luo Xi, Why does your tone seem a bit happy? But dont worry, the runes that condensed this projection will also integrate into the Furnace Core. If my real body is dead, then so be it. But if Im still alive, once I see you and come into contact with the Furnace Core, Ill know todays memories. Luo Xi: We dont need that kind of thing! Liya was silent for a long while before slowly saying, Therefore, youd better take Weier and Aina with you and leave Winter City. Use every possible method to leave before Festival Day arrives. This way, youll never have to see me. Luo Xi was startled. Was Mother-in-Law implying that eloping with her daughters was now a legitimate action? Pfft, that was hardly an elopement, but a joint adventure. [Note: Damn Traveler, youve exposed your little scheming completely~] Luo Xi raised his head to look at Liyas face, which resembled Weiers but was even more beautiful and mature, and said with a smile: Dont worry, Lady Liya, I will take good care of Weier and Aina. You dont need to worry. After all, he had the greatest confidence. [Note: Translating, Mother-in-Law, I shall nurture your daughters; you have no worries~] Stop translating the damn text wrong! Liya arched a brow. This guy, theres a feeling that if her daughters are left with him, there might be big problems. Weier was one thing; by now she was almost of age and could indeed find someone to rely on. Aina, however, based on the footage, this pervert might even dare to make a move on her. And the story about him coming from another world, that sounds utterly unreliable. No, she had to find a way to preserve this piece of consciousness, even if for just two days, just to see them through this disaster. I wonder if the Furnace Core could do it? Worth a try. Let this guy sleep a little longer; she will use her remaining strength to attempt it. In front of Luo Xi, Liyas figure vanished completely. Luo Xi heaved a sigh of relief. Being with this big Cat Cat really put a lot of pressure on him. Next, after he got back from here, it would be time to consider backtracking. Luo Xi squinted at his surroundings. It was still the same workshop which had now been cleaned up. Fxxk, why hasnt this dream ended yet?! Let me out! Damn text, give me an exit button! [Note: Dear, theres no exit button here, shabby Traveler. Right now, youre sleeping so peacefully~] Chapter 152 - 152 137 The Grand Return of Mother-in-Law So ?Chapter 152: Chapter 137: The Grand Return of Mother-in-Law! So, you are flirting with my daughter, arent you?_1 Chapter 152: Chapter 137: The Grand Return of Mother-in-Law! So, you are flirting with my daughter, arent you?_1 Luo Xi waited on the spot for a few more minutes. Damn, still cant get out. Mother-in-law, you just left like that, at least let me out first! She wouldnt have forgotten about me, right? Luo Xi felt it was very likely. Of course, regardless of whether he was forgotten or not, Luo Xi still had to find a way to get out. He wondered if dying here would trigger Moonflows talent for time reversal? [Commentary: You wish, Traveler. Of course, that wont work, and besides, you cant die in this dream, hehe~] Luo Xi: The damn text is getting more and more annoying. Suddenly, he felt darkness envelop his vision, and his consciousness gradually sank into the dark. The walls of the workshop around him were collapsing, and the tables and the ground were cracking, spreading towards where he stood. Joy surged in Luo Xis heart. Is this the sign that Im going back?! Then, as the ground beneath his feet cracked, Luo Xis consciousness plummeted. [Commentary: This Traveler has entered a peaceful sleep~] Pervert, wake up, stop sleeping already, are you a pig? Luo Xi felt his face being gently tapped by someone. He strained to open his eyes and found everything before him a blur, a familiar, sweet scent entering his nostrils. It turned out to be Cat Cat persistently tapping his face, the sweet scent coming from the young girls body. Luo Xi: Why am I still in the Dream World? Luo Xi glanced at the text. The remaining synchronization time still displayed [???]. Forget it, since he was ready to go back anyway, it didnt matter how much synchronization time was left. Weier, seeing Luo Xi open his eyes, patted her little chest and said, I thought something happened to you, because you were standing there motionless as if you had fallen asleep. So I laid you down on the ground, but you wouldnt wake up, just like a pig loves to sleep. Luo Xi: ? An extremely bad feeling welled up within him. Luo Xis voice trembled slightly, Wait, Cat Cat, say that again. How long have I slept? And wheres Hill? It seemed like only Cat Cat and he were left in the workshop. How long had he actually been asleep? Weier thought hard for a moment, then said, Youve been asleep for about two hours. Not long after you fainted, Hills foster father returned, so Hill went back to his bedroom. He said hed come down and find us after his foster father left. His mothers words were quite useful after all. Hill, because of that notebook he remembered, suffered from memory loss several times, but the last time he seemed to develop some resistance, barely managing to recognize us while enduring the headache looking at the notebook, although he still couldnt remember anything about that foster father. Hills memory loss was getting better? If thats the case, that kid might really be able to help break through the situation wait, thats not the point right now! Luo Xi was about to lose it. He gazed blankly ahead, murmuring to himself: Two hours two hours Fxxk, doesnt that mean time has dragged into the next day?! So even if he died now, he could only reverse time to the zero hour of this day, which is utterly useless. Cat Cats mother is really a trap! You despicable woman, come back out here right now and let me vent the anger in my heart! [Commentary: Tsk tsk, earlier you were calling her Mother-in-law, and now you despicable woman. Wanting to vent on Mother-in-law, this Traveler is just scum~] Luo Xi (ب) looked at the text. At a time like this, damn text, you still mock me. Im clenched, my fists are clenched. So annoying, why did Liya make me sleep for two whole hours for no reason? Even if she doesnt know my real thoughts, isnt this just wasting so much time? Wouldnt it have been better to spend this time petting Cat Cat taking care of her daughter? Weier looked at Luo Xis sad face with some confusion. What weird things is this pervert thinking about now? The girl picked up a box from a table nearby and handed it to Luo Xi, saying, This is something my mother left for you before she left. Keep it safe and dont lose it. Something she gave me? Luo Xi momentarily set aside his sorrow, looked over, took the box, and opened it. Inside the box, six scrolls were placed, but upon opening them, he found that these scrolls had no usable directions. [Unknown special rune scrolls x6 (incomplete)] [Quality: Purple Color (Epic)] Sarch* The Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Category: Rune-made objects] [Attributes: ???] [Description: These are special items that can only be created by Creation Series Skill Practitioners, however, they are all yet to be completed] [Completion Level: 30%] Luo Xi: Didnt Liya say that he might be able to use these things? What the hell, with such a low completion rate, theyre totally useless. Weier pointed to Luo Xis side and said, This is your hat. The runes on those discarded scrolls have disappeared, and it seems that some of them have entered here. Um I have one more thing I want to ask you. The girl, nervously clutching her small fists to her chest, looked at Luo Xi and asked, Were you talking to my mother just now? Can you tell me what you both talked about? After Liya made Luo Xi stop resisting, he fell asleep it was hard for Weier not to suspect some connection. Luo Xi thought about what happened in his dream, and his temples started twitching. Being seen by the mothers of two beast-eared girls as he did bad things to themhow could he possibly have the nerve to speak about such things? Now that time could no longer be turned back, it meant that the things Luo Xi did to Aina and Weier yesterday, along with the memories that Liyas projection had obtained, had all become unchangeable history. One word, fxxk. [Note: Rejoice! The heinous acts committed by this garbage Traveler against the beast-eared lolitas are now irreversible. Hes the traveler from another world, friend of small animals, a master of wooing beast-eared lolitas, a lucky pervert ~ Your tail is too beautiful to forget.] Luo Xi: . Is this damn text database connected to reality? What Little Black text. Luo Xi took a few deep breaths, calming his surging emotions. Then, under the expectant gaze of Cat Cat, Luo Xi said without changing his expression, Your mom entrusted you and Aina to me. In fact, Liyas previous words did mean something like that. Probably? [Note: TranslationI have become the caretaker of you two beast-eared lolitas, from now on you need to be obedient, okay~] Caretaker my ass, Ive said it multiple times, damn text, stop translating randomly! [Ding! Weiers Anger Value +20] Weier, with fists raised, hit Luo Xis arm and said angrily, (ߣ) Is that all my mom said to you? I thought after you slept for so long, you would get more useful information. And this crap about entrusting me and Aina to you I dont believe for a second my mom would say such things! You pervert! Loli-con! Filthy liar!'' Luo Xi bore the punches from Cat Cat, mumbling, How would I know I was asleep for so long, its all your mothers fault. She messed up all my planswho am I supposed to complain to When Weier heard him slandering her mother, she got even more furious. She lifted her leg and kicked towards Luo Xis head. Of course, the kick wasnt very strong or fast. Luo Xi instinctively caught the girls shoe. Weiers expression froze as she tried to retract her foot, but instead, Luo Xi smoothly pulled off her shoe, along with the white cotton sock, revealing the girls delicate little foot. [Note: Well played, garbage Traveler! Collect this and treasure it quicklyits a source of happiness~] Youre the pervert, damn text! [Ding! Your Happiness Level +30] Luo Xi: . [Ding! Weiers Anger Value +40] Weiers ears turned crimson, spreading to her neck. The girl lifted her leg once again, kicking out even faster than before, with a speed that Luo Xi couldnt react to this time. Pervert! Go die! Slap! Luo Xis head suddenly felt heavy. That kick from Cat Cat was actually quite powerful. However, with a Physique over thirty points, Luo Xi was basically immune to such ordinary attacks. Also, Luo Xi, looking at the little shoe and white sock in his hand, glanced towards Cat Cats other foot that was still shod. That meant the one on his head was [Note: Ah, such a foolish Cat-eared Girl, why reward him?] Luo Xi tried to reach for Cat Cats foot that was on his head. Damn Liya, having tricked me completely, now I must take it out on your daughter Boom! Suddenly, the black and white hat that lay next to Luo Xi flew up and slammed into his stomach. Ugh Luo Xi was caught off guard and was sent flying several meters, stopping only when he crashed into a table. He leaned against the table leg, (n) holding his stomach, shocked by the floating hat that had landed in front of him. Wtf just happened? Why did my hat suddenly fly up and hit me? [Ding! Weiers Guilt Value +10] With one bare leg and the other foot still planted on the ground, Weier hurriedly explained, I just wanted to kick you lightly, that wasnt me just now, really, it wasnt me The girl knew, despite Luo Xis crazy behavior, that the guy was somehow helping her after all, so she merely wanted to kick him lightly to vent her frustration. Weier gritted her teeth and said, If youre angry, then kick me back, no, feel free to pet my ears and tail, alright Huh? Whats this? Her light red pupils suddenly narrowed. Luo Xis mouth started twitching. A figure, similar to the previous illusion but more ethereal, appeared above the hatthough only the upper half was visible, it was definitely Liya, who had disappeared. [Note: The grand return of Mother-in-law! Its you messing with my daughter, isnt it!] Chapter 153 - 138 Lord Mother-in-law, how do you understand so well! You’re so capable_1 Chapter 153: Chapter 138 Lord Mother-in-law, how do you understand so well! Youre so capable_1Luo Xi was completely damn stunned. Liya said her time was up and she was going to disappear, yet before you knew it, she came backin total, less than two hours had passed. If you subtract the time Luo Xi spent sleeping, it was as if she came back in the blink of an eye. Indeed, the prettier the woman, the more deceitful she is. Luo Xi had been fooled by her twice in such a short time. That damn City Owner must have also been duped by Liya into becoming a boiled sheep. [Note: You piece of garbage Traveler, didnt you want to vent your frustrations on Lord Mother-in-law? Now is a golden opportunity, so why not take your chance before its too late~] Who the hell dares to!? Time cant even be turned back anymore. And Cat Cat is still here! Weier, holding her little foot up behind her, took several hopping steps forward with the other. The girl stood beside Liyas figure and asked with joy and trepidation: "Mom, are you back for good? Will you leave again?" "I wont be leaving for now, and to be honest, I owe it to him." Liya glanced at Luo Xi not far away clutching his stomach and making an (n) face, calmly saying, "This kids body has a Mutant Factor with an outrageously high compatibility with the Furnace Core, no wonder such weak Strength can control it. With the adaptability of his bodys Factor to the Furnace Core, I used my last bit of strength to redraw some of the edge runes of the Furnace Core, and projected my own runes into it. Supported by the energy cycle of the Furnace Core, the stability of the runes is maintained, and perhaps my Projection can last an extra two days." "However, I cant always stay with you. After all, I am just a Projection, and its already quite draining to maintain my current state." "Mm..." Weiers pale red eyes instantly filled with mist. Even if this was just a historical Projection of her mother, it was still her mother, and having her around for one more day was worth it. Luo Xi felt like his head had suddenly been bashed with a mallet, leaving him dizzy. Was Liya planning to hide inside his hat? How was he supposed to happily pet Cat Cat and Little Aina in the future? Under Lord Mother-in-laws watchful gaze, petting her daughters would probably lead to the same situation as before: inexplicably getting smacked by his own equipment. [Note: This piece of garbage Traveler is so stupid. When you want to do bad things to the Beast Eared Girls, just toss the hat into your Dreamland backpack and youre all set~] Luo Xi: "!" So there was such a method! The Damn Text actually gave a useful suggestion for once. [Note: Moreover, time is stopped inside the Dreamland backpack, which means when Lord Mother-in-law gets released from your little black room, she will only see her daughters left limp and exhausted after being petted by you, a garbage Traveler. Just think about how thrilling that is~] Damn Text, youre truly the real pervert! Liyas Purple Color eyes looked at Luo Xi again. The big Cat Cat without the cat ears looked at him with a smirk that was not quite a smile, scoffing, "You little rascal, if I hadnt come out, what were you planning to do just now? Is teasing my daughters really that pleasurable for you?" Luo Xi: "" [Ding! Your Fear Value +20] [Ding! Your Fear Value +5] Scared. Too scared to speak. Why did he have this feeling as if he had encountered his natural predator? [Note: Its all because you, a piece of garbage Traveler, were caught in the act of teasing someones daughters, naturally you have no confidence~] Luo Xi actually agreed with the Damn Text this time. This is the consequence of having no confidence. If he had done nothing wrong, he could stand tall in front of Liya. But now... All the things he did yesterday could go straight into the darkest history of his life, and just the issue of tricking Aina into marrying him, the real Liya once she returns and finds out, it wouldnt be impossible for her to straight-up send him flying. In the real world, that would be a solid five years in prison. He wanted to die just thinking that time could no longer be reversed today. And when the hell is this [???] of a sync remaining time going to end!? He really wanted to return to reality now, to face Lord Mother-in-laws questioning from behind the safety of the text, that would at least relieve some psychological pressure. Weier tilted her head puzzled. What did Luo Xi want to do just now? Wasnt he pinned down by her foot on his head? What could he possibly do? Although she had her shoes pulled off by him, that was an accident, right? Therefore, Cat Cat took the initiative to explain to Luo Xi, "Mom, actually, I just wanted to teach him a lesson and accidentally let him take away my shoes and socks. Then, I stepped on his head, so it wasnt really his fault." Luo Xi looked at Cat Cat with a touched expression. Truly an understanding Cat-eared Girl. Liya heaved a sigh and said to her daughter with heartfelt sincerity, "Weier, you underestimate these people. Is it possible that he deliberately created that situation? Pretending it was unintended, he took off your shoe, making you support yourself with your remaining foot. You were angry, so you kicked him with the foot that had the shoe removed. From your point of view, you kicked him, but to some people, being kicked by your bare foot is a reward." Note: Actually, wearing socks is better! The damn Traveler would be happier! Luo Xi: "..." Mother-in-law, youre really good at this, how do you know so much! And damn text, shut up! But in that moment, he really hadnt thought about all these strange things. Who could come up with so many ideas in just those few seconds? He had merely tried to grab Cat Cats foot that kicked him. Weier was stunned for a moment. She looked down at her tiny feet with some disbelief. Her small, nimble toes curled slightly, and the somewhat small foot that may not even be as big as Luo Xis palm slightly arched. The sensation of having kicked the young man on the head just now seemed to linger a bit. After a short pause, the girls eyes widened, and her face became flushed to the base of her neck, with steam puffing from her ears and the top of her head in circles. Cat Cat finally realized she had kicked Luo Xis head barefoot, without socks. This guy... Was everything that just happened part of that perverts plotting? Ding! Weiers Anger Value towards you +50 Ding! Weiers Anger Value towards you +20 Luo Xi: "." Note: Mother-in-law, youve done well, letting your precious daughter see the damn Travelers true colors. Traveler, dont be sad. Keep trying to win over the tsundere Cat-eared Girl~ Damn text, youre the one who is the happiest about this! However, before Cat Cat had a chance to get angry with him, Liyas figure began to flicker again, becoming more illusory and transparent as if she would disappear at any moment. Weier stopped her questioning of Luo Xi and asked anxiously, "Mom, whats happening again?" Liya looked down at her hat and said, "The power of the Furnace Core was insufficient to begin with. Today, he overloaded it, and well need to wait until he places the Furnace Core on himself to continue its operation." "To put it simply, Mom wants to give you a few more pieces of advice. The situation outside is very critical now, and your whereabouts may have been under Nosss control all along. Although I dont know why he hasnt taken control of you yet, Weier, it will happen sooner or later. So if you spot any rodents, remember, show no mercy, and make sure there are no rats where youre staying." "Also, Little Xier cant be fully trusted right now. Perhaps Mazar cast some High-tier spell on him. If you can control him for a period of time when it matters, then having a part of the Divine Trees power, Xier is a threat to you." "I suggest you continue to stay here for now. As soon as it gets light, go to the Winter Legions camp and look for the leader of the Winter Legion, Signo. Hes never been interested in joining the Festival, and if hes still alive, he might be able to help you. He was most loyal to the old City Owner." "Of course, you can also go back to the inn first... Mom wants to see Little Aina too. Anyway, its up to you how to proceed. There might still be some useful scrolls in the workshop; collect them. Take everything that you can." Liya glanced at Luo Xi and said, "Lastly, Weier, be careful around this weird fellow... Of course, if you really like him... then its up to you. A person close to Aina shouldnt be a bad person, but you should also watch out for your little sister." After all, her daughter had grown up, and she couldnt be too involved in her daughters private matters when she wasnt even sure whether she was dead or alive. Before Weier could grasp the meaning of Liyas last words, Liyas figure vanished, leaving only her hat shaking on the ground, affirming that everything they had seen was not an illusion. It took a while for Weier to comprehend what her mother had said at the end. S~ea??h the novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. What does she mean by if you really like him... Thats absolutely impossible! Hmph, only Little Aina, who doesnt understand anything, would be fooled by this pervert. Theres no way I could fall for him. (Confident) Weier picked up the hat off the ground and hopped over to Luo Xi on one foot. Cat Cat deliberately made her tone sound cold, "Give me back my belongings." Luo Xi was a bit startled and asked, "What do you want back, Cat Cat?" A series of "p" symbols popped up on Weiers smooth forehead. Playing dumb, huh? The girl clenched her fist, which creaked and cracked. She subconsciously wanted to kick Luo Xi, but as she was about to exert force, she stopped. Her mother had said, she was rewarding the guy. Wait, so if she punches him, is she also rewarding him? After a moment of silence, Weier said, "Give me back my shoes and socks. Im cold." Luo Xi: "..." You should have said so earlier. He was not the kind of creep who would keep someones personal items without returning them. Luo Xi, with an expressionless face, handed back Cat Cats shoes and socks. He glanced at Cat Cats delicate foot, slightly raised off the ground. Even though he couldnt see it clearly in this state, that tiny feeling made one want to reach out and grab it, to play with it in ones hand... cough. Ding! Your Happiness Level +20 Note: No need to comment anymore, you are beyond saving, damn Traveler! Chapter 159 - 141: The person who doesn’t sleep has Aina’s tail to play with~_1 Chapter 159: Chapter 141: The person who doesnt sleep has Ainas tail to play with~_1Luo Xi glanced at the text projection floating in front of his eyes. [Traveler, you have entered deep sleep...] The Dream World situation had stabilized for the moment, but in reality, he seemed to have landed himself in trouble again. The middle-aged man, seeing Luo Xis perplexed expression, thought he was still in a daze. After all, as a college student living in a peaceful era, who has experienced such incidents? He called out to someone behind him, "Xiao Mu, you come and talk to him, Im really not good at conversing with young people." "Sure, Brother Zhang." A rather handsome young man pushed the door open and came in. The young man sat down, smiled at Luo Xi, and said, "Mr. Luo, hello, my name is Mu Yao, Mu as in herding cattle and Yao as in Sunday. Im also a staff member of the Haicheng City Travel Bureau." sea??h th novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "You neednt worry about being arrested by us for last nights incident. Those people were extremely vicious fugitives who specialize in attacking Dreamland Travelers, players like you, that is. You killed one of them, and, strictly speaking, we should actually give you a reward. But first, please describe in detail the situation you encountered last night." "Oh..." Luo Xi then realized they were referring to last nights player hunter attack. [Note: Damn Traveler, did you think the police found out about the nasty things you did to the beast-eared Lolitas in the Dream World?] All I did was nibble on Ainas Big Tail for a bit! Thats not some nasty deed! Luo Xi didnt respond but instead asked, "Why was I targeted by them?" The middle-aged man explained, "Those player hunters probably have some kind of forum to collect the identity information of all potential players nationwide and share it with each other. You must have made their list of suspects. Youve shown some unusual abilities lately, havent you?" Luo Xi: "..." He pondered for a while and then slowly said, "Last night, I was playing the game in bed when they suddenly broke through my apartment door and attacked me. There were three of them. I desperately fought back and managed to kill one of them. The other two then fled. I was nearly scared to death, my head all dizzy, so I left home and went outside to calm my nerves." Mu Yao: "(o)..." Desperate counterattack? You managed to take on three and kill one, driving off the other two, and youre saying that was desperate resistance? The middle-aged man laughed on the side, "Its normal, considering he has become a Mutated Transcender. Those player hunters, many of whom havent fully reached Transcendence yet, just rely on their good talents to cause trouble." Luo Xi: "!" How did these people know... He slapped his forehead. Fxxk, my hats gone! Seeing Luo Xis troubled expression, Mu Yao quickly explained, "Sorry, our staff couldnt wake you up in the park, so they brought you here. Your hat fell off along the way, which is how we found the Projection of your Mutation traits." "But you dont have to worry about us doing anything to you. In fact, some of our staff at the Dreamland Travel Bureau are also following the path of Mutation, because the road to Sublimationaccording to what we knowrequires too many resources." The middle-aged man also added, "There are quite a few unlucky players who have turned into Variants in the Dream World, or have simply chosen Variant talents from the beginning. We are not like those normal people in the Dream World who only persecute Mutant Patients endlessly. Thats pure inhumanity." Luo Xi: "..." Their words offered him some relief. Also, why would anybody actively choose Variant talents from the start? The middle-aged man paused, then said, "Of course, Mutation does cause quite a few problems. If it gets to an irreversible point, then we can only suggest that you do not Resurrect after death, and never log back into Dawn. That way, the degree of your Mutation will permanently stay at the point your character died." Luo Xi nodded silently. So there is a way to suppress real-life Mutations after all. He asked, "What exactly is up with this game?" Mu Yao gave a wry smile, "Im not very clear either. Actually, our department and staff were only established a few months ago. You should know about the conference this afternoon at 2 oclock, where our bureaus leadership will come to answer questions. I suggest you could go and listen." "Established a few months ago?" Luo Xi frowned, "Could it be that before this beta test, there was an older batch of players?" Mu Yao looked back at the middle-aged man, who nodded, and then said, "You guessed right. Dawn has been undergoing small-scale tests several times before, with no more than a thousand player slots available worldwide each time. This time though, its a large-scale beta test with a total of a hundred thousand slots." "I see." Luo Xi looked out the window where it was pitch dark and asked, "What time is it now?" "Two oclock in the morning," Mu Yao said with a smile. "We have already sent someone to clean up your house, ensuring no trace of blood is left. Of course, I suggest you still move out." Luo Xi: "..." There was no need to tell him to move; he would have done so anyway. Beep The middle-aged mans cellphone suddenly made a noise. He picked it up, and his expression changed drastically. Luo Xi picked up his own phone from the bedside. [The conference scheduled for October 1st at 2 PM has been postponed, with the restart time undetermined. All players are advised to keep their personal information confidential and not to disclose any personal details. Some shareable information will be sorted and sent to the confirmed Travelers civilian email addresses.] Mu Yao looked at his phone, puzzled, "Why was it suddenly postponed? Many people have been waiting." The middle-aged man said gravely, "Maybe the higher-ups suspect theres an inside spy." With so many players gathered in one place, if there was a leak at the top, there could be the possibility of getting caught in a single sweep, the consequences of which were unthinkable. An inside spy... Luo Xi heard this with a bit of a headache. The middle-aged man looked at Luo Xi and suddenly asked, "Mr. Luo, are you interested in joining us? After passing the assessment, you can become a formal staff member, with a salary of about twenty thousand per month, and benefits." Luo Xi was startled, then shook his head, "Sorry." Under normal circumstances, joining the system might have been great, with a high salary to boot, but in these unpredictable times, where you dont know what tomorrow will bring, its better to remain an ordinary citizen. The middle-aged man let out a somewhat regretful sigh. Although the number of players will increase over time, even those with potential need time to grow. The higher-ups will have to come up with a method to punish those player hunters, or else the populace will live in constant fear, throwing society into chaos. Luo Xi asked quietly, "Can I go back now?" "Yes, youre near the park where you passed out last night." The middle-aged man nodded, "Be cautious these days, and if you need help, give us a call. Your rating on the player hunters list has definitely risen after this, and also, dont let power blind you. Last night, you almost drowned that homeless man; normally, youd be detained for a while for such behavior, but considering your unstable emotions at the time, well let it slide." Luo Xi: "..." After getting off the bed, the middle-aged man gave Luo Xi a new hat. He smiled and said, "When we figure out a way to conceal the characteristics of Mutation, youll be the first to know, along with the other players of your kind." "Thank you." Luo Xi put the hat on his head and walked out the door. Then, he realized this place was really damn the police station! There was a cop on duty in the lobby. [Note: Trash Traveler, youve ended up in the slammer after all, right? This is the destiny of a Loli-con!] Damn it all! After Luo Xi left, Mu Yao turned to the middle-aged man, "Shouldnt we keep him here and ask him more? The things in his house... they bother me..." Like the wardrobe full of girls clothes. The university student seemed of a normal build; he wouldnt fit into those small sizes, even if it was womens clothing. Surely he hadnt done anything perverse to those little girls in the game, right? "What others do in games is none of our concern; asking about it can cause resentment." The middle-aged man sighed, "In the future, well probably see no end to these kinds of issues. After the game updates, we wont even be able to confiscate phones as a restriction. The world is changing." ... "Achoo" Luo Xi, just stepping out of the police station, sneezed inexplicably. Life sure was magical these days. Compared to his twenty-odd years of existence, the past few days had reshaped his entire worldview. No telling what the future would hold. [Note: At least, Traveler, you still have your beast-eared Lolita] Right, I still have my beast-eared Lolita... Damn Text, shut up! Scolding the Damn Text improved Luo Xis mood a bit. He caught a taxi back to his old house, only to find someone waiting for him outside. The person in a hazmat suit told him, "Good evening, sir, weve cleaned up the scene and the door has been fixed. You can move back in. Please get some rest early." "..." Luo Xi wasnt yet emotionally resilient enough for this. Of course, he couldnt just leavethe cats furniture was all there. Hed move everything once he found a new place in a couple of days. Luo Xi went upstairs to check and found that indeed, there was no trace of blood left, only a faint scent of it lingering in the air. Sitting by the bed, Luo Xi had a thought. Why not play the game a bit more? He wasnt all that keen on sleeping anyway. In the game, he was supposed to be in Weier and Ainas room, although, who knows if Cat Cat had thrown him out while he was knocked out. [Traveler, you are sleeping deeply...] [Do you want to wake up?] Luo Xi hesitated for a moment. [Yes] [Traveler, you surreptitiously open your eyes] [You find yourself still sitting on the floor, but youre covered with a thick blanket, likely the doing of Aina or Weier] [Ding! Your Touching Value +10] [To your amazement, you discover the hand you had placed on the bed has somehow made its way into the blanket of two beast-eared Lolitas, feeling quite warm] [However, maintaining the position of holding your hat by the bed for so long has made your hand quite numb. You want to move a little but touch something warm, seemingly a soft, fluffy object] [What could it be?] [Ainas Big Tail! (Immediate answer)] [Ding! Your Happiness Level +20] Luo Xi: "!" [Note: Sneakily petting the Big Tail, Loli-con Traveler, did you anticipate all of this? Tsk!] Chapter 160 - 142: Aina’s Sleeping Face is Too Cute~ Damn Text Turns Out to be Useful (Confirmed) _1 Chapter 160: Chapter 142: Ainas Sleeping Face is Too Cute~ Damn Text Turns Out to be Useful (Confirmed) _1[Traveler, youre caressing that soft big tail with your fingers, but you dare not use too much force for fear of waking Aina, who has already fallen asleep.] [Ainas head is currently resting on the pillow next to you on the bed. Her breathing is exceptionally steady, and a bit further away, theres a lighter breathing thats clearly Weiers.] [Traveler, would you like to continue petting Ainas tail? (Doing so might wake her up~)] Luo Xi let out a soft sigh and chose [No]. Leaving Aina aside, the fact that Cat Cat allowed him to sleep in their room, even without inviting him to the bed, represented that the cat-eared girl trusted him. How could he betray that trust? Luo Xi didnt want to be thought of by Weier as some kind of a real perverted loli-con or something. Of course, the main thing was that petting through Projections text, aside from the illusory Happiness Level, brought him nothing else. [Note: Garbage Traveler, is there a chance that Cat Cat has long since seen you as a real perverted loli-con? Shes called you that many times now~] No way, absolutely not! Cat Cat must have just said it casually. [Note: Poor Traveler, you can fool everyone else, but dont deceive yourself~] Luo Xi: "(p)." Damn text, shut up! [Traveler, you stop your fondling hands from moving impulsively.] [Unlike the tsundere cat-eared girl, you can pet the little wolf girls tail and ears anytime you want, and youre not in a hurry. Petting Aina secretly while shes asleep, though somewhat thrilling, always feels a bit underhanded.] [Plus, the Furnace Core hat with Liyas projection attached to it is still on the bed. This Mother-in-law could strike you down at any moment.] [Note: Garbage Traveler, unleash your wolfish instincts! Would you be this peaceful if you were given another half hour of Dreamland Temporary Synchronization?] Hehe, just give me that half-hour, and Ill call you big brother. Luo Xi, paying no attention to the damn text, took out his phone to check the time. Its almost three oclock in the morning now. But its not a big deal. He had taken the day off from the cat caf anyway, and even if the official convention was canceled, he could still rest for a day. As for renting a place and moving, he could wait until after the next couple of days. He could probably take another day off tomorrow; he just felt sorry for Ai Xues trust, the trust that the little rich girl had placed in him. After all, once he chose to backtrack, everything within that day would be reset to zero. In short, spending time on other things didnt make as much sense as just lounging on the bed playing "Dawn" all day. Luo Xi planned to resolve all of Weiers issues first. Once tomorrow night passed, on the day of Weiers birthday, maybe everything would become clear. Liya and Noss, the Church of Truth, and the old city owner... All those matters revolving around the Winter Divine Tree in Winter City, the conspiraciescould they really converge on a girl as delicate as Cat Cat? Luo Xis heart grew a bit heavy. He decided to go to sleep first. After about ten minutes, Luo Xi had moved all the furniture from Weiers familys house upstairs, including the bed and wardrobe, down to the first floor. Luo Xi stood on the uneven floor of the old house on the first floor. There was no point in sleeping upstairs; hed make do sleeping on the first floor for a couple of days. So, where should he sleep? His gaze went to the bed against the wall. It was Cat Cats familys big bed. During the previous attack, Weiers bed, being tucked in the corner, hadnt been stained with blood, while his own old bed was practically ruined by the initial spikes. Luo Xi yawned wearily. Borrowing this bed for a few days to sleep shouldnt be a problem, right? Its a waste to leave it here anyway. If necessary, he could repay Cat Cat by changing the sheets and bedding someday. Luo Xi walked over and lay back on the bed. On the soft bedding, the familiar, sun-dried flower, sweet scent of Weier and Aina immediately swept into his nose. No wonder they say girls beds usually smell nice. It really did smell nice; after all, it had been steeped in their scent for so long. [Note: Garbage Traveler, youre becoming more and more perverted! (**)] Damn text, with that emoji, arent you the pervert... For some reason, as soon as Luo Xi lay down, he felt a wave of drowsiness engulf him. Come to think of it, he had died yesterday and seemed to have lost 20% of his attributes. He needed rest... As such, Luo Xis consciousness gradually sank into darkness. After an unknown amount of time... Luo Xi felt as if he had just had a very long dream. In the dream, he stood enveloped in thick fog in the sky. Ahead of him was a giant tree that grew from the ground to the heavens, seemingly as tall as tens of thousands of meters, matching the sky in height. For a long time, a ray of golden morning light dispersed the heavy fog, bringing the warm first light of dawn and the brightness of daybreak. Luo Xi looked down, his gaze spanning tens of thousands of meters. Below was a prosperous kingdom where everything was living and growing. At some moment, an indescribably thick darkness surged, completely swallowing the morning light in the sky. Luo Xi felt his consciousness freeze in an instant with the coldness of that darkness. The mighty tree burst forth with endless light, struggling against the darkness. After an unknown time. With a cry of anguish, the giant tree collapsed with a thunderous fall. A magical book, as if inscribed with the reason and mysteries between heaven and earth and radiating a rainbow glow, emerged from the trees broken trunk, vanishing tracelessly before the darkness rushed forward. The kingdom beneath the tree was thoroughly devoured. "Hah... hah..." Luo Xi was gasping for air, bolting upright from the bed. The images from the dream were fading at an exponential rate. Was this dream trying to convey something to him? The giant tree hed seen in the dream, that must have been the Eternal World Tree, right? Compared to the Winter Divine Tree that was only a few hundred meters tall, it was not even on the same scale. sea??h th ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. An incredible thought bubbled up in Luo Xis mind. When the giant tree collapsed, that book radiating with rainbow colors... Could it possibly be the same book hed seen when he triggered the Moonflow talent? Origin. The word suddenly appeared in Luo Xis mind. Was it the same Origin that Shopkeeper Lena had mentioned? The Origin that could reverse time, a mythic artifact, wasnt even the match for that darkness? And if it could reverse time, why didnt it turn back time at that moment? Why did the ??? choose to give him this talent in the first place? The more he thought about it, the more his head hurt. Compared to Weier falling into the trap of Winter City, Luo Xi felt like he might have fallen into an even bigger hole. "Dawn." Even though the Dream World had both day and night, with dawn and dusk occurring daily, Luo Xi initially found the games name quite odd. Now, he maybe understood that the games name was not arbitrarily chosen. Luo Xi reached behind his back. To his shock, he was covered in cold sweat. Even the beds of Weier and the others had become damp from his tossing and turning. He checked the time, 5:30 AM. He had only slept for a little over two hours. However, he wasnt very sleepy, and with his current physical attributes, a 20% decrease didnt affect him much. Luo Xi glanced at the projections text. [Traveler, you are fast asleep] [Ding! Traveler, you have earned one Dreamland Temporary Synchronization (30 minutes) (HD Version). Would you like to use it?] [Note: This is a special gift for you, the Traveler, so quickly say thank you, big brother~] Luo Xi: "!" Damn it, did the damn text really get him 30 minutes of synchronization time? Speaking of which, Chu Tian had said his text wasnt this strange. Could this damn text be that ???, or that so-called great will? No, I must not submit to the damn text. This is their sugar-coated bullet! But he was somewhat curious about how Cat Cat and Aina looked when they were sleeping, and this was in HD... Luo Xis hand accidentally shook a little. [Yes] His whole body went limp in an instant, his head tilted, buried in the duvet, and he lost consciousness contentedly. ... Luo Xi shook his head a little. The first sense to return was his smell, that familiar scent, extremely similar to the smell of the bed he was sleeping in earlier, lingered at the tip of his nose. He blinked his eyes. It was still pitch black outside, so the room without any light source was also very dark. However, he could now see the stickers on the wall in front of him in the dark. Awesome! Dreamland synchronization with the same clarity as full immersion! Although he no longer had the attribute bonuses, he had more time. [Note: Lousy Traveler, shouldnt you say thank you, big brother?] Luo Xi: "Big... brother." Although Luo Xi was somewhat reluctant, he didnt expect the damn text to actually pull it off. This indirectly proved that behind this text, which taunted him all the time, there might be an unimaginably powerful entity. [Note: Hmm-hmm~(???), little bro] Luo Xi: "..." For some reason, he imagined a scene where a little Lolita was hiding behind the screen, laughing triumphantly. Tossing this nonsensical idea out of his head, Luo Xi slowly turned to look at the Wei Er Ainuo sisters sleeping next to him. In the dark, Ainuos face was turned towards him, eyes tightly closed, without a trace of guard. In fact, the hand under the blanket was touching the Little Wolf Girls soft, fluffy big tail, even cushioned under his hand. A thought suddenly popped into Luo Xis mind. Could it be that Ainuo, worrying he was too tired, deliberately placed her tail there for padding? From his viewpoint, Ainuos little face exuded a soft pink color, her long eyelashes slightly trembling, and the wolf ears on her head lent this young Wolf Eared Lolita an air of youthful sprightliness. [Ding! Your Happiness Level +20] The Little Wolf Girls sleeping face was just too cute! Ainuos wolf ears twitched. A pair of tea gold eyes opened, looking puzzled at Luo Xi. "Brother Luo Xi?" Chapter 162 - 144: The tiny, soft little paws of the Cat Cat can’t be placed in your mouth ~_1 Chapter 162: Chapter 144: The tiny, soft little paws of the Cat Cat cant be placed in your mouth ~_1Luo Xi feigned calmness and said, "Cat Cat, what are you doing with the knife? In a family, we should talk quietly and kindly, not just swing knives around; it can ruin the harmonious atmosphere, dont you think?" Swoosh A gust of wind lifted Luo Xis hair. The fruit knife whizzed past his face, a mere centimeter from his skin. (???)! He swallowed hard. Luo Xi turned stiffly to see the glinting knife stuck in the wall, sending a chilling reflection. [Note: Too bad it missed, how can Cat Cats aim be so bad? For a perverted loli-con Traveler, a chai dao knife has to be quick, precise, and ruthless!] Why dont you come out and let Cat Cat stab you for a change, damn text! "Hmph." Weier coldly snorted, pulled out the fruit knife, nonchalantly blew off the dirt, and placed it back on the nightstand. The girl glanced sideways at Luo Xi, who seemed to be frozen in fear. The blush on her face had faded, and then she released the hand that had been tightly pressing down on Luo Xi from under the quilt. One second, two seconds, three seconds... Weier said discontentedly, "How much longer do you plan to touch it? Believe me, I will really stab you." "Oh, oh..." Only then did Luo Xi let go of the cat tail he had been holding. Once freed, the warm and soft cat tail swiftly retracted like a snake. Following that, Cat Ladys tail wriggled out of the quilt, wound around her arm, and with a click, she turned off the light. The room plunged back into darkness. Weier warned softly, "Its still early; lets rest a little more, gather our strength for the days activities. You, pervert, better behave." Ainas timid voice spoke up, "Sister, thats my spot; you should be sleeping on this side, I want to be with Mom." "You just want to be with that pervert!" "Brother Luo Xi is not a pervert." "If hes not, then who is? Wait, Aina, did you just stuff my tail to him? What are you playing at!" Weier turned around and pinched her little sisters face, beginning to knead it. Aina whimpered, "Ugh, Sister took Ainas spot. If Sister doesnt give it back to Aina, Ainas going to sleep in Brothers arms." Weier: "..." Rebellious, this sister has gone rebellious! Really been raised for nothing all these years! Luo Xi listened with considerable emotion. Right now, he really wanted to point at Cat Cat and tell her, "Look at your sister, how sensible she is." Whats wrong with petting her a bit? Its not like shes going to shed. [Note: Hair will still shed, if petted too hard it might even go bald, so remember, sustainable petting only~] Luo Xi: "..." What a weird point to nitpick, damn text. From the nearby bed, Weier suddenly began giggling. Luo Xi glanced over, the two Lolitas were huddled together under the quilt, seemingly wrestling and causing drafts by their scuffling. The initially faint scent became much more intense. [Note: Trash Traveler, dont you want to experience the joy of sleeping with two beast-eared girls? Fragrant, soft, hugged left and right~] Shut up, Hentai text! "Ha, its so ticklish, Aina, stop squirming around, alright, alright, Aina you go here, Sister wont deal with you anymore." "Too late, Aina wants to settle the score with Sister!" Listening to the ruckus of the sisters under the quilt, Luo Xi glanced at the remaining synchronization time [4 minutes 15 seconds], intending to withdraw his hand that was holding the hat under the blanket. With the sisters usual fighting, if he didnt dodge soon, he would probably be the one to suffer next. Thump Suddenly, a soft object kicked his hand with quite some force. Luo Xi instinctively grabbed hold of it. "Ah!" A startled cry came from under the quilt, but it was unclear who it belonged to. [Ding! Weiers Anger Value towards you +30] The next second, a slender leg stretched out from under the quilt and kicked Luo Xi on the forehead, making his vision go black. [Note: Perverted Traveler, you finally got kicked by Cat Cat; arent you so happy~] Im not happy at all! As that foot retracted and tried to kick him again, Luo Xi used his other hand to also grab hold of the little foot attempting to attack him. The Cat Lady kicked several times with all her strength, but realizing she couldnt break free, she gave up, astonished by his extraordinary strength. [Ding! Weiers Anger Value towards you +50] An annoyed voice came from under the quilt: "Pervert, let go!" Aina popped her head out from the other side, her tea gold eyes sparkling when she saw what was happening on Luo Xis side. Then she dived back in to tightly wrap herself around Weier. "Brother, dont let go! Well done! Aina will hold Sister down for you! Give her a good lesson!" "Ugh, Aina, let me go! Im going to kill that pervert!" "Aina wont let go! If Brother dies, Aina wont have a husband later. Right, Brother, you can tickle Sisters feet!" "You ungrateful, traitorous little sister! Already thinking of husbands at your age! What kind of love potion did that pervert feed you!" [Ding! Your Happiness Level +100] To witness such a scene of sisterly strife this morning, where the price was just calling the damn text "big brother," truly felt like a great win. [Note: Hmm~ Instead of that, how are you going to scratch Cat Cats foot, you garbage Traveler?] Luo Xi: "..." Both of his hands were now controlling Cat Cats legs. He didnt have a third hand to scratch her with. Luo Xi lowered his head to look at the ankle of Cat Cats leg that his right hand was holding. Cat Cats legs were beautifully shaped; despite being somewhat slender, because they were bare, they still looked somewhat awkward. Her little feet were delicate and exquisite, with five little toes that were crystal clear and plump, like a piece of fine art. [Note: Even though Cat Cats little feet are soft, tender, smooth, and white, dont put them in your mouth, okay??(*^^*) (hint)] Who would put them in their mouth! That would be truly perverse! Damn Text, your temptation will never succeed! Suddenly, Luo Xi let go with both hands. After all, this Cat Cat was quite haughty. Teasing her might make her angry, but it wouldnt actually cause her to dislike him; however, if he really went too far, it would only damage his image in Weiers eyes. Weier, still under the covers, was startled for a moment, seemingly in disbelief that the pervert had actually let go. "Aina~!" Weier called out with a long, drawn-out voice. Now that her feet were freed, Cat Cat finally showed her sisters true resolve, quickly subduing the entangled Aina. Weier pulled the dazed Aina out from the covers, placed her beside herself, and then gave Luo Xi a deadly stare. Luo Xi lowered his head, pretending not to see Weier looking at him. In the end, the girl sighed deeply. Weier was extremely helpless, lying on the bed like a salted fish, hugging Ainas body like a pillow, her face full of despair. What could she do? It was no use to kick out the pervert now. Dawn was approaching. Weier threatened, "Behave yourself, and sleep for another hour. If you dare to make a fuss again, you know the consequences." Luo Xi: "..." What consequences would there be? After all, he was about to leave soon. [The synchronization time has ended.] [Traveler, welcome to come back again~] Luo Xis consciousness plunged into darkness amid a wave of dizziness. When he opened his eyes again, it was the familiar sweet scent of flowers dried by the sun. After all, it was the bed slept in by two sisters. Luo Xi was already quite familiar with this scent; they must have used the same bath product for years to have such similar smells. Luo Xi stared at the shabby ceiling, lost in thought. It was now six in the morning. In reality, he didnt want to sleep anymore. In the dream world, after being ultimatumed by Cat Cat, he couldnt do much anymore; Aina, who was willing to be petted by him, was also put to sleep by Cat Cat. He might as well use this time to stroll around aimlessly. [Traveler, after the event just now, you no longer feel sleepy at all. You put the hat back on your head, gently get up, and think about leaving the room.] Sar?h the N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Squeak] [Traveler, you go to the door, slowly unlock and push it open.] [Weiers voice suddenly rings out behind you: "What are you going to do?"] [Traveler, you turn around and see Weier sitting up on the bed, those bright red eyes staring at you.] ["Cant sleep, just taking a walk."] [Traveler, you explain briefly and then close the door.] [The moment you step out of the door, Traveler, you find that on both sides of the door, there crouch Luo, and a woman with grey hairthe owner of the information shop; you have no idea when she came back.] [Ding! Your Confusion Value +30] [Traveler, you ask, "What are you guys doing?"] [Luweiya gives you an ambiguous smile, without answering, she heads back to the room next door.] ["Brother Luo, you really are something."] [Luo chuckles at you, saying, "I just came out to find something to eat downstairs to fill my Satiation Level. I didnt expect to pass by here and hear that Cat Lady shouting at you, pervert. You really know how to have fun, huh? Last night wasnt enough, you got up early in the morning for that, huh? Youre impressive! Is having fun with beast-eared Lolita sisters really that interesting?"] [Note: Yes! Having fun with beast-eared Lolita sisters is indeed very interesting (as personally evaluated by the garbage Traveler)~] [Traveler, your Anger Value +20] Luo Xi: "..." [Luo sees your unfavorable look and quickly changes the topic: "By the way, Brother Luo, the temperature outside feels like its dropped another ten degreesits now minus sixty degrees. I think thats not normal. That woman also said that in past years, the lowest Winter City got was just below forty degrees. Hey, should we have a hot pot meal in this world?"] ["This world? Hot pot?"] [Weiers voice suddenly arises.] [Cat Cat comes through the door, scaring Luo back several steps.] [Weier looks at you, the Traveler, and speaks softly: "Luo Xi, I want to hear about where exactly you come from, can I?"] [Ding! Weiers Curiosity Value +10] [Friendly Reminder: Travelers from other worlds can disclose their origins and even their game to the residents of the Dream World, but any unknown consequences arising from this are the Travelers own responsibility~] [Traveler, you stand silently for a moment, just about to speak when Weier shakes her head.] [The girl shows a bright smile.] [She says, "Never mind, if we cant leave Winter City anyway, knowing or not doesnt matter anymore. If were still alive the day after tomorrow, I will ask you to tell me then."] Luo Xi: "..." Stupid Cat Cat, dont set up that kind of flag! Chapter 163 - 145 Liya: This guy is almost fawning over, isn’t he? (4000)_1 Chapter 163: Chapter 145 Liya: This guy is almost fawning over, isnt he? (4000)_1[Traveler, after the foolish Cat Cat made her declaration, you fell silent for a long time, unsure of what to say.] Luo Xi didnt know what to say either. Under Weiers bright smile was a prediction that her future might lead to death, and no one understood her current predicament better than Weier herself. Even if he said that we would definitely all survive, it would only be taken by Weier as a consolation. [Seeing the heavy air between you two, Chu Tian whispered, "Brother Luo, should we find a place to hide for a while, like maybe dig a hole in the wilderness and hide for a few days? Avoid this storm and then come out again?"] [Traveler, you knew what Chu Tian meant.] [However, you didnt think hiding would make those old schemers, who had been plotting for years, give up their plans.] [Cat Cat, in their plan, might very well be an indispensable part.] [Weier also shook her head, rejecting Chu Tians suggestion. She said, "Unless we can think of a way to cross the walls shrouded by the Divine Tree Glory, simple avoidance is just waiting for death."] [At this, Weiers expression subtly changed.] [Traveler, you too thought of something.] ["Hill!"] [Traveler, both you and Weier uttered this name in unison.] [Could the City Owner Hill, who possessed the Divine Tree Power, shift or remove the Divine Tree Glory?] [In that case, Weier would be able to easily use her abilities to take you through the walls of Winter City and into the outside Snow Field.] [This method was highly feasible. The young City Owner Hill had already considered you his friends, and he was also aware of the problem with his foster father; he was very likely to help you.] [Weier was somewhat tempted but hesitant. She said softly, "It was not easy to find out about my mothers whereabouts. I dont want to give up on my mother."] [Cat Cat looked at you, pursing her lips and saying, "Luo Xi, lets go see Hill one more time. If possible, you take Aina out of the city. Ive discussed this plan with you before."] [Traveler, you frowned.] [Even at this time, Cat Cat still thought about entrusting Aina to you?] [Isnt she afraid that you might do something "loving" to the very obedient Wolf Eared Lolita?] [Note: garbage Traveler, you seem very agreeable to the idea of "loving", huh? But thats out of necessity, right? If anyone else were willing to take Aina away, do you think Cat Cat would entrust her to you, a "loving" Loli-con?] No way! Cant it be that Cat Cat has a lot of trust in me in her heart! And that was a rhetorical question! Besides, theres Shopkeeper Lena. It would be fine to leave Aina with her, wouldnt it? Though Shopkeeper Lena is also very committed to the idea of finding Teacher Liya, she probably wont leave Winter City... [Traveler, you gently touched Weiers face, and surprisingly, Cat Cat did not dodge your hand.] [That was enough to show the inner turmoil of this cat-eared girl at this moment.] [Traveler, you chuckled softly, "Cat Cat, you nearly look like youre about to cry. Since youre unwilling, dont say such things lightly. Well stick to the plan and find your true mother, Liya."] ["Mainly because after so many years, do you really think Rat King Noss hadnt considered the possibility of you sisters leaving Winter City? He might have already made a contingency plan for this."] [Weier nodded slowly, but she quickly realized something and countered, "Rat King is watching me, not Aina."] [Traveler, you shook your head, "Regardless, we should leave together, or we could try itleave together and see what kind of result well get."] [Weier asked in confusion, "Try it? How can we try that?"] [Traveler, you said, "If Hill can help, and you trust me, Cat Cat, then lets leave Winter City together and see what situation unfolds."] [Weier looked at you suspiciously.] [Now she was starting to doubt whether you wanted to deceive her into leaving the city first.] Luo Xi sighed. Weier was still placing too much importance on Aina. To some extent, Aina had become her weakness. He had to find a way to extinguish her idea of entrusting Aina to someone else and staying behind alone. [Traveler, with a smile, you said, "If you let me take Aina away by myself, maybe in a years time youd have a cute little nephew to call you Auntie, the kind that would call you Auntie."] S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Ding! Weiers Anger Value +10] [Ding! Chu Tians Shock Value +20] [Note: Implausible Traveler, its just like you to utter such words without batting an eye!] Luo Xi: "....." He was simply trying to get Cat Cat to regain confidence in controlling the situation. Always thinking about entrusting Aina to him, what if he, on the spur of the moment, just... agreed? ["Also, why are we thinking so much right now?"] [Traveler, you pointed at the gentlemans hat on your head, "Lets wait for your mother to recharge, and then let her give us some advice."] [Weier gazed at you solemnly.] [Turning around, she opened the door and re-entered the room.] [Traveler, you stretched out a hand to catch her nightgown and asked, "Theres something I want to know, if we all can survive, and your mother too, then what would you, Weier, want to do then?"] Chapter 164 - 145 Liya: This guy is almost licking it, right?

Although he said that it would definitely be the best choice for the two beast-eared Lolitas to stay with their mother, deep down, he couldnt help but hope they would choose to travel with him. It was an unavoidable personal desire as a human. [Weier frowned at you and said, "What are you thinking? Does taking good care of Mom and Aina count?"] ["Hmm... it counts."] [Traveler, you felt somewhat disappointed inside] [However, this was normal, after all, you were just a passerby who had entered this girls long life by chance. Compared to her mother, who raised her, and her sister, upon whom she relied for life, you were inevitably an outsider] [Weier closed the door, which probably meant she was going back to sleep] [Traveler, you looked at Chu Tian and revealed a kind smile] [It was you, bastard, who taught Cat Cat the meaning of Loli-con, wasnt it?] [...After giving Chu Tian a lesson, you happily walked downstairs] [At that moment, the owner of the information shop called out to you, saying, "I got some intelligence last night, are you interested?"] [Traveler, you asked, "Does the intelligence cost money?"] [Luweiya shook her head with a smile and said, "Of course not, but Im not sure how accurate this intelligence is. Just listen, wasnt there a fight last night between the Grand Magistrate of the Judicial Tribunal and the deputy commander of the Winter Legion? Oddly enough, even though the deputy commander was no match for the Grand Magistrate and was almost beaten to death, the leader of the Winter Legion didnt show up. In the end, it was the people from the Mansion of the City Lord who stopped their fight and prevented the city from being destroyed. Do you know why?"] [Traveler, you responded speechlessly, "If I knew, would I need you to tell me?"] ["Just asking."] [Luweiya narrowed her eyes and said, "Its said that after the Festival three years ago, the supremely loyal legion commander of the Winter Legion locked himself in the legions solitary confinement cell and has never shown his face since. All commands for the legion were given through the thick iron door of the solitary cell."] [The legion commander of the Winter Legion?] [Isnt that the person whom Liya told you to find today?] [Traveler, you felt the hat on your head suddenly become burning hot] [A gentle voice emanated from it: "Signo locked himself in a solitary cell? Why?"] Weier closed the door. The girl squatted down to rub her ankle, reddening delicately at the memory of being grabbed by that guy while in bed. Mom said that kicking such a pervert was actually rewarding him. So, had she rewarded him? "Dirty pervert, Loli-con, Fondling Hands." After cursing Luo Xi a few times, Weier whispered in a voice only she could hear: "If you want to invite me to travel with you, just say it directly. Why ask about my thoughts? I certainly wont say I want to travel with a pervert like you!" In the dark room, Ainas soft voice arose, "Sister, you really like Brother, dont you? Why do you always scold him? At this rate, maybe one day Aina will really have beaten you to it." Weier: "!" How did Aina wake up so quickly?! Weier walked over to the bed and sat down, turning her head away: "Only a wolf like you would fancy him. I certainly dont." "Aina is not a wolf!" The Little Wolf Girl said discontentedly as she sat up. Her tea gold eyes looked seriously at Weier and said, "Sister, Brother Luo Xi really wants to get us out of here. That scent of his has never wavered, even though he could have ignored us." "Of course, I know that... hes died right in front of me once..." Weier muttered. S~ea??h the ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Suddenly, Ainas wolf ears perked up, and she turned her head sharply toward the door. "Thats Moms voice!" Aina jumped straight off the bed. "Clothes! Put on your clothes first!" Weier, in disarray, barely managed to catch Aina, who was about to leave the room bare-legged, and forcefully dressed her. Then Aina, with bare feet, pulled open the door and ran out. Weier, holding a pair of slippers, said blankly, "And your shoes..." "Lock himself in a solitary cell? The Signo I remember would never..." Although she saw no one, hearing that voice ingrained in her memory made Ainas eyes immediately moist. "Mom!" ... [Traveler, after Liyas voice was heard, the closed door suddenly opened, and Aina rushed toward you, clinging to your leg] [Aina looked up at you with hope, "Brother Luo Xi, where is Mom?"] [Traveler, you ruffled Ainas hair, took the hat off your head, and placed it on the Little Wolf Girl] [However, the voice that had been coming from the hat abruptly stopped] [Aina took off the hat, her cute little face streaming with tears. The Little Lolita sobbed softly, tears dripping onto the hat incessantly] [A translucent figure emerged from the hat, which was Liyas illusion. Though only half of her body was visible, that most vital part was still so white and voluptuous] [Note: Garbage Traveler, your focus is very improper, isnt it?] Chapter 165 - 145 Liya: This guy is almost fawning over, isn’t he? (4000)_3 Chapter 165: Chapter 145 Liya: This guy is almost fawning over, isnt he? (4000)_3No choice, who can resist glancing at that part of the body! [Traveler, you felt a chill, you saw Weier leaning against the door watching you, holding a fruit knife in her hand.] Luo Xi: "..." Must not look, must not look. [Shopkeeper Lena had made her way upstairs at some point, and she was quite excited, but after seeing the touching scene of the mother-daughter reunion, she just stood at a distance without approaching.] [The Projection gently embraced Aina with an extremely tender voice: "Little Aina, mom has let you sisters suffer so much over the years, Im sorry."] [Aina wiped her tears and said, "It wasnt hard, Aina still had her sister, but when will you come back, Mom?"] [Liya fell silent.] [Luweiya approached you, the Traveler, and whispered, "Is this the Projection Skill left by that Liya? A Tier Four Skill Practitioner cant achieve this kind of lingering consciousness, this must already be at the Tier Five domain, right? Just how powerful is she?"] [Traveler, you indicated that you didnt know either.] [All you knew was that with Liyas abilities, as long as she was alive, there was a possibility of solving all the current problems once she was free.] [After a long silence, Liya finally said, "Mom, no, your real mom, whether its me here or the real me, all I hope is that you can live well, I dont mind about myself."] [Aina hung her head low.] [Only the continuous falling of tears on the ground evidenced the sadness in the girls heart.] [Liya turned to you: "The commander of the Winter Legion, Signo, has also encountered a problem, he can no longer be trusted, so just use the strategy you discussed earlier and let Hill send you away from Winter City."] Luo Xi: "..." Could it be that Liya has been maintaining her consciousness all this time? [Liya smiled at you and said, "Thats right, I saw you touch Weier and Ainas tails, and you even grabbed Weiers foot, that covetous look of yours, you were almost about to start licking, you little rascal, youre quite naughty."] Oh no! Wait, mother-in-law, youre wronging me, I never thought of licking anything?! sea??h th N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Slander, this is slander! [Note: Alas, the poor Traveler didnt start licking, sigh~] ["Ill settle scores with you later for this. Hill, although controlled, can still..."] [Liyas voice paused.] [She looked toward the glass window at the end of the corridor.] [Ding! Traveler, youve triggered a legendary-level quest: The Unusual Encounter with Snow Disaster Mioslite.] [Quest Brief: One of the pinnacles of natural disasters in this world, the Snow Disaster Mioslites omens have appeared near Winter City. When it reveals itself, endless heavy snow will fall, solid ice will form, and everything will be frozen. Traveler, do your best to survive! If you die once because of the snow disaster, the rating of this quest will decrease by one tier, and after three times, this quest will fail completely.] [Reward: Talent effect upgrade chances x1 (the highest upgradeable quality of talent depends on the task rating), random talent draw chance x1, talent deletion chance x1] [Description: In the extremity of biting cold, all warmth is an illusion.] [Note: Poor Traveler, you are really unlucky, now it looks like theres no way out for you~] Paragraph upon paragraph of text appeared before Luo Xi.

Chapter 166 - 146: The Snow Disaster, Mioslite, The Entire City Frozen! _1 Chapter 166: Chapter 146: The Snow Disaster, Mioslite, The Entire City Frozen! _1Luo Xi was stunned for a good while before shifting his gaze away from the densely packed text. The legendary level Origin DisasterSnow Disaster Mioslite. The aftermath of the epic Locust Disaster Lakast had already destroyed the protective golden barrier outside Winter City, so what about a legendary level one? Considering that the task could be triggered, it indicated that the power of the Snow Disaster was sufficient to penetrate the silver radiance of the barrier. Even if they hid in the Inner City, their safety was absolutely not guaranteed. Moreover, from the description, it seemed that this Snow Disaster was just the initial precursor. If its true form were to appear, what level of existence would it be? Mythical? By then, would Winter City be able to withstand it? [Liyas illusory voice hurriedly urged, "Go into the room, open the window. I need to take a look outside!"] [At this moment, Traveler, you saw Chu Tian, whom you had knocked unconscious, get up from the ground while rubbing his forehead, his groan of pain drawing everyones attention to him.] [Two seconds later, Chu Tian exclaimed in shock, "Damn! A legendary task? ...Hey, why are there so many people here, were you having a sex party without me? And who is this gorgeous lady with a great figure? Why does she only have an upper body, it looks so ethereal, though she does resemble Miss Cat Lady... Is she Miss Cat Ladys mother?"] [Traveler, you had a bad feeling.] [Was this blabbermouth Cao Zei going to get some strange ideas now that he had seen Cat Cats mother?] [Note: Garbage Traveler, are you afraid youll suddenly have a random dad? Or are you actually the one who wants to be the Cao Zei?] Heh, Chu Tian surely could only fool that bunny-eared big sister. In front of Liya, thinking such thoughts, wouldnt his ashes be scattered in minutes? After all, Luo Xi had fully experienced the oppressive sensation brought by Liya. Even though this was just a rune Projection from the past. [Weier couldnt stand it anymore. She quietly walked up behind Chu Tian, her palm like a knife, and knocked him out again with a blow to the neck.] Sarch* The N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Yes! Cat Cat did a great job! [Traveler, you then went into the room, where Shopkeeper Lena opened the window to the outside.] [Instantly, an unbearably cold breeze rushed into the room, bringing snowflakes with it. The sudden temperature drop visibly frosted the furniture within. Shopkeeper Lenas beautiful blonde hair and the lashes above her blue eyes were covered with frost.] [Lena immediately closed the window tightly.] [Yet, that brief exposure to the cold had already lowered the room temperature to around minus ten degrees Celsius.] [With a serious expression, Lena said, "This is impossible, the weather has never been this cold in previous years! The cold outside is no longer ordinary cold!"] [Lena looked towards the teachers illusion, hoping to get an answer.] [Liya, however, closed her eyes as if in deep thought.] ["Q."] [Aina cutely sneezed.] [Traveler, you only then noticed that Little Wolf Girl had run out barefoot; she only wore cotton pants on her lower half.] [Weier approached, her pretty face blocking your view, and said with displeasure, "You pervert! What are you looking at?"] Luo Xi: "..." He hadnt even reacted yet! [Afterward, Weier found Aina a pair of snow-white stockings and slippers to wear.] [Note: Garbage Traveler, its ice cream time now!] Luo Xi: "()!" Hentai! Damn text, dont think I dont know what youre implying! [Due to the warmth-giving runes and heat stones set up in the room, the temperature quickly rose again, and you dared not open the doors and windows recklessly anymore.] [Liya slowly opened her eyes and said gravely, "This is not an ordinary cooling. It can penetrate the barrier of the Winter Divine Tree. Its beyond the power that even a king-tier Origin Beast possesses. Considering that abyssal-tier Origin Beasts hardly ever attack humans in large cities, I suspect its a sign of an impending Origin Disaster appearance."] ["Thirty years ago, a heavy snow in one night froze over three major cities and buried all life there under ice and silence. Its name was the Third Origin Disaster, Snow Disaster Mioslite, which appears every thirty to fifty years. This time, it is very likely that Winter City has struck the jackpot."] Luo Xi: "." Truly a knowledgeable mother-in-law; she speculated the cause of the changes in a short time. Without the hints from the text, he would probably know nothing and be like a headless fly. Actually, several days before, the continuously dropping temperatures and the strange weather phenomena were already signaling some kind of warning to them. Yet even if they had known back then, there was no way to deal with it, as they still had the Locust Disaster looming over them. [Liya fell silent for a while before saying, "Its now impossible to leave Winter City. If you were to be caught by the Snow Disaster outside, even a Tier Four transcendence person would be flayed alive, not to mention dying."] ["Also, real Origin Disasters, not just their aftermath, once they appear, initiate unimaginable phenomena, like natural disasters. Im not clear on the characteristics of a Snow Disaster, but now, leaving the protection of Winter City would be no different from seeking death."] [Luweiya spoke softly, "Are you referring to phenomena like the Wind Disaster that turns living beings to corpses and cleanses all souls after passing through, turning bodies into dust?"] [Liya glanced at Luweiya and nodded.] [Bang] [Traveler, you suddenly heard a loud bang outside and Chu Tians cry of alarm. At the same time, the temperature in the room dropped again.] [Shopkeeper Lena rushed out immediately.] [Traveler, as you step outside, you see that the corridor of the inn has been torn open by a huge hole, and a basketball-sized hailstone has fallen onto the corridor. Daisy, a rabbit-eared mother, holds her daughter Winnie, both shivering and hiding behind Chu Tian.] [Chu Tian, protecting the rabbit-eared mother and daughter, faces the snowy landscape outside the hole. Despite also freezing to death, he begins to sing loudly, "The northern scenery, a thousand miles of ice, ten thousand miles of snow drifting..."] Luo Xi: "..." Even now, hes thinking about flirting; this guy is definitely the epitome of heartlessness! [Shopkeeper Lena quickly says, "Ill go downstairs to get some planks to cover up the hole! You all go hide in the rooms first!"] [Lena had just taken a couple of steps when her body suddenly froze in place.] [Traveler, just as you find this strange, you realize that your own body seems to have been locked in place as well.] [You feel a presence carrying an extreme chill passing over your body.] [Ding! Traveler, you have been affected by the Snow Disaster Mislat, your bodily mobility has decreased by 100%, and your thinking speed has decreased by 100%.] [You stiffly turn your head to find that Cat Cat next to you has also been frozen in place, her body seemingly covered in a layer of frost, with ice crystals and her snow-white hair blending together.] [Without a doubt, you are now in a similar predicament.] [The rest are in the same state as well.] [In Ainas arms, the phantom of Liya on the hat flickers in and out of existence: "This is... the power of the Snow Disaster? Its not only a physical level of freezing but also a will-level of freezing, no, is it extending from the spirit to the material... Little brat, you... protect..."] [Liyas figure flickers twice and then disappears.] [Traveler, just as the ice is about to spread from your feet to your upper body, a burning heat emerges naturally from within you.] [Ding! Traveler, the Mutant Factor within you is opposing the external cold, triggering a deeper erosion of the factor.] [Ding! Your Mutant Factor concentration has increased!] [1.59%2.00%] [Ding! Traveler, you have successfully entered the First-tier of Mutation.] [Ding! Your strength +20, physique +20, spirit +8, intelligence +8, your skill resistance +10%.] [Your skill: [Melting Fire] has been upgraded to [Abyssal Flame].] [Description: Enables your body to generate black-red flames with temperatures up to 2000 degrees, obedient to your will, capable of incinerating anything that bares its fangs at you (consumes Yuan Su).] [You have acquired a new skill: Region-Specific Body Scale Armor.] Luo Xi: "!" As the text continues to appear, he feels his own body in reality getting hot. [Traveler, just when you think that having ascended, you can resist this strange chill, the warmth provided by the internal factors swiftly subsides.] [Note: A mere First-tier Mutated Transcendent, how dare you oppose the apex of natural disasters, the Origin Snow Disaster? Worthless traveler, you have ten seconds left, 10, 9...] [Traveler, before the heat inside of you completely disappears, you use your fastest speed to throw all the people on the corridor into a room. Finally, with one hand on Aina and one on Weier, you rush them into the room and close the door tightly.] [Traveler, holding the two Lolitas by the door, you lose consciousness.] Luo Xi: "..." God damn it. This death came from being dealt a dimension-reducing strike. The horror of the Snow Disaster, they are entirely incapable of opposing it. Forget it, lets resurrect and see the situation first. Hey, where are my resurrection and rewind options? Luo Xi searched the text for a long time but did not find any death prompts or resurrection notices popping up. [Friendly Reminder: Traveler, you are not yet dead and cannot use talents and abilities that are only triggered after death.] Luo Xi: "?"] Hes been frozen until his screen went black, how is he not dead yet? And since hes not dead, what about the others? What will happen if that Rat King and the people from the Church of Truth come now? [Note: Worthless traveler, theres no need to worry about that. Everyone in the entire city, except for the controller of the Divine Tree, has been frozen along with you. You are now sleeping very peacefully while holding two Lolitas.] Luo Xi: "..." The whole city has been frozen? ... Winter City seems to have fallen into utter silence. The sky and earth are engulfed in a white expanse of snow. From afar, the massive Winter Divine Tree seems to have donned a snowy white mantle. Its outer layer of golden radiance has disappeared, and the inner silver light is on the brink of collapse. In the entirety of Winter City at this moment, only one person remains capable of movement. Just out of bed, the young Hill brushes off the frost on his body, wanders downstairs in a daze, looks at the servants frozen in the Mansion of the City Lord, and has no idea what has happened. In a certain manor, Rat King Nos is similarly frozen in the courtyard, only able to move his eyeballs. "Is this the power of the Snow Disaster? Even with complete defenses, Im instantly overwhelmed, this cold stemming from within is utterly irresistible. If I still cannot move by tomorrow... the plan will..."] Chapter 167 - 147 Sneaking Ice Cream While Sister is Asleep is Not Okay!_1 Chapter 167: Chapter 147 Sneaking Ice Cream While Sister is Asleep is Not Okay!_1Luo Xi lay on the bed, feeling increasingly anxious. The text card remained motionless. However, he could still normally take out and put back items from his Dreamland knapsack. He pulled out Cat Cats childish drawing for a glance, smiled, and then returned it. Indeed, it was difficult to handle, and it was unknown how long the frozen state caused by the snow disaster would last. What if everyone died in the middle of it? Or what if, after the controlling skills ended, the snow disaster dealt an all-map AOE damage? Luo Xi himself didnt really care, but if the others died, once the time passed into the second day, even if he had the power to turn back time with Moonflow, it would be too late to save them. He finally began to understand why everyone in the Dream world changed their color at the mention of the Origin Disaster. It was akin to facing natural disasters like earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions in the real worldno matter how much humanity has advanced in technology over thousands of years, they still stand frail and vulnerable. [Note: Damn Traveler, theres no need to worry so much; this is just a harbinger of the snow disaster. I estimate it will freeze people for one to two days? When the real snow disaster itself arrives, dont even think about abducting the two beast-eared Lolitas, youd better start thinking about preparing their graves after the disaster passes] Damn text, how about I find you a grave first! Hold on! A thought crossed Luo Xis mind. The day after tomorrow was supposed to be the Festival Day of the Divine Tree, which was also Weiers birthday. All the dark tides and conspiracies seemed to point toward that day. So, what would happen after the thaw if it coincided with that day? Would the situation get worse or better? It was completely unpredictable. Luo Xi closed his eyes and tried to adjust his mentality. But the more he thought about it, the more anxious he became. He picked up his phone to check the time. Seven-thirty in the morning. Right, what about Chu Tian? He must have been kicked out of the game too, right? Luo Xi vaguely remembered that Chu Tian had previously mentioned his phone number to him. Should he give him a call and check... Luo Xi hesitated for a moment, then he picked up his phone and dialed the number Chu Tian had told him. After spending time together, Luo Xi had already judged that Chu Tian was a decent person, except that his talkative and Cao Zei traits had lowered his personal rating. The phone rang for quite some time before it was finally picked up on the other side. "Hello, who is this?" Luo Xi replied gravely, "Its me." There was a pause on the other end: "You are... This voice, is that Luo Xi... Brother Luo?" Because Weier and Aina had called him by his name many times in front of Chu Tian, Chu Tian had actually already known Luo Xis real name. "Yes, its me. Hows everything on your end?" Luo Xi asked. Chu Tian answered weakly, "Dont even mention it, I damn got logged out. The text says Im now frozen, cant die, cant do anything else." "Same here." "Oh man, this game is really tough." Chu Tian let out a sigh, then changed the subject, "By the way Brother Luo, how did you get along so well with the two beast-eared Lolitas? Spending the night in the same room as them and everything, is that Cat Ladys mother really as beautiful as the text described? Is she still alive? If theres a chance, could I... " "No, Im hanging up, well talk next time." The corner of Luo Xis mouth twitched as he ended the call. Chu Tian truly lived up to his reputation as a Cao Zei in every aspect. What was this? A firm conviction, unforgetting his ideals? But it looked like Chu Tian couldnt log in either. So, all he could do was wait for the time being. Luo Xi turned over and, smelling the familiar scent on the blanket, gradually regained his calm. Lack of sleep the previous night and a 20% drop in attributes made drowsiness come over him again. [Note: Damn Traveler, in such a short time, youve become accustomed to the scent of the beast-eared Lolitas. Youve become someone who just cant do without them~] Damn text, dont make me out to be a pervert... zzZ~ When Luo Xi opened his eyes again, it was already five oclock in the afternoon. However, the text still showed no sign of activity. After having something to eat, Luo Xi lay back down on the bed and sent Ai Xue a message on WeChat. [Luo Xi: Sorry, I have to take another day off tomorrow... maybe two days, Boss Ai you can deduct it from my salary next month] [Ai Xue: Its fine, Senior, take care of what you need to, we wont deduct your salary, and dont call me boss! (angry) Call me by my name or Xiao Xue!] Luo Xi: "..." The more lenient Ai Xue was towards him, the more Luo Xi felt that what he had done before was quite improper. [Note: Naive Traveler, youve never been in a relationship before, have you? Cant you see even what a girl is thinking? Well, of course, after all, this world doesnt have beast-eared Lolitas for you to control~ (laughter)] Luo Xi (Damn it). Around the Corner, Meet the Cat Caf. Chen Momo finished making a cup of coffee and placed it on the table for a customer, then turned around and asked: "Did your senior take another leave?" "Yes, but the senior also said that I can deduct it from his salary next month," Ai Xue said joyfully. "That means the senior will still come to work next month." Chen Momo: "..." This bestie seemed beyond help. With so many issues surrounding that senior, and as handsome as he looks, who knows if hes secretly keeping several girlfriends and acting like a playboy. She wouldnt be surprised if one day it came out that he had been arrested for hitting on underage girls. ... [Would you like to accelerate the event to the next node?] Luo Xi didnt want to keep waiting in such anxiety. All he wanted now was to know the result after the thaw. [Yes] [Accelerating... x30] Luo Xi watched as the hands on his clock spun rapidly. Six oclock, seven oclock... eleven oclock, eleven fifty. Then it passed midnight. Time continued to flow. There was still no movement from the text. His eyelids gradually became heavy again. After all, this accelerated progress did not mean that he lost this period of time. It was just compressed for him. One oclock in the morning... three oclock in the morning... noon... six in the afternoon. Suddenly, the text changed! [Traveler, you are gradually regaining consciousness and you feel your body can move now] Luo Xis spirit immediately lifted! Damn it, he had been frozen for a full day and a half! He pulled out the synchronization module. [Would you like to use Dream Synchronization?] [Yes] [Traveler, welcome to the journey of dreams~] ... /// Inside Winter City. The heavy snow that had been falling for nearly two days finally stopped. The snow on the streets had accumulated to three meters high, enough to submerge an entire floor of a building. That which brought deathly silence and icy cold to the people, like a tide, receded. The frost that had frozen their bodies and consciousness vanished, and those still alive regained consciousness. They could not move for a short time, but those who had died had now become frozen corpses. In the manor, the thick snow was shaken apart, revealing the head of Noss who was standing in punishment. A faint green light flashed in Nosss pupils as he muttered to himself, "Luckily, it didnt take too long. But the precursor to the snow disaster has disappeared, so could its main body appear at any time?" "Forget it, if it really appears, then it is our destined fate." At Lenas Inn. Behind the door of a room on the second floor. Luo Xi struggled to move his eyelids. The first thing he felt was the stiffness of his body. It was like being drenched in wash water on a cold winter day and hung on a tree to dry in the sun for an hour. He thought if he had been a few days later, he might have turned into a dried salted fish. However, with the influence of the suppressed Mutant Factor in his body, Luo Xi quickly generated enough heat to dispel the cold. He barely opened his eyelids. Luo Xi tried to move his body. Then, from either side of him came a cute little thing each making a muffled grunt. "Uwu~" "Mhm~" Luo Xi: "..." Weier and Aina ended up being held by him. Which means, that he had been holding two beast-eared girls here for nearly two days. Too bad he didnt feel a thing. Luo Xi looked up towards the inside of the room. All five people he had thrown in here showed signs of waking up. Actually, the room temperature was still quite high. Shopkeeper Lena had installed warming runes and warm stones in every room as heating equipment. It was just that this snow disaster was simply too unreasonable. Was this the bizarre phenomenon brought by the Origin Disaster that Liya spoke of? Soon, Luo Xi felt that he could move. The Mutant Factor in his body gave him a high Resistance to the cold. Once the freeze on his consciousness lifted, Luo Xis recovery was so fast it even surprised himself. This could be seen from the fact that none of the remaining people in the room had gotten up yet. Luo Xi took off Ainas hat from her embrace and placed it on his own head. Immediately, the temperature flowing around his body increased by a notch. He got up, opened the door of the room, and examined the hallway with a hole in it. The temperature outside was no longer absurdly low. However, Luo Xi didnt think this was a good sign. The calm before the storm was merely a false appearance. After confirming that the five people in the room were all right, Luo Xi left the room carrying Weier and Aina and headed to their room. After laying the two sisterswho were stiff from the coldon the bed, Luo Xi brought over the warm stones and placed them all by the bed. He then proceeded to cover them with blankets and the like. [Note: Garbage Traveler, dont you think this is a bit dirty? The clothes are fine, but you have to take off socks and shoes before you can get into bed to sleep~] sea??h th ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Luo Xi was startled. The demands of the Damn Text werent unreasonable. So he helped them take off their shoes. Weier and Aina were wearing slippers, so it was easy for Luo Xi to pull them off. But the socks...? Luo Xi glanced at Weiers short cotton socks and Ainas white long socks. Is it necessary to take these off? [Note: (???) Its okay not to take them off, Garbage Traveler. How about taking the chance while theyre still asleep to secretly eat some ice cream? The chilly feeling must taste great!] Hentai! Damn Text, youve been tempting me twice in a row, havent you? As an upright and noble man, how could I possibly do such a despicable thing! Chapter 168 - 148: Aina She is still young (＞﹏＜) Those weird things should not be done! (4000)_1 Chapter 168: Chapter 148: Aina She is still young (n) Those weird things should not be done! (4000)_1Luo Xi ignored the Damn Texts second attempt to seduce him. The most important thing now was to wake Weier and Aina. As for eating ice cream stealthily, which sounded like a bizarre act, only the Damn Text could mention it so nonchalantly. He was not that kind of pervert! [Note: Garbage Traveler, perhaps youd prefer to eat it openly? But doing so would get you beaten by the tsundere Cat Cat, oh? However, the image of a cat-eared girl stuffing ice cream into your mouth with a disgusted look on her face is so exciting to think about (???)! Not to mention, theres also the Cute Wolf Lolita brand ice cream that wont resist you and is ready to eat anytime, Garbage Traveler, just as expected of you!] Luo Xi (**)?. What the hell is this mess?! And what in the world is Cute Wolf Lolita brand ice cream? Dont just make up terms, Damn Text, and describe these indescribable scenes! Luo Xi took a deep breath and held back all the retorts he wanted to spew at the Damn Text. If this thing went to reality and started writing strange things, it would definitely have potential. Luo Xi felt Weiers temperature with his hand and then touched Ainas forehead. "Cat Cat, wake up, wont you? Or else Ill pet your tail, okay?" "Aina? Can you hear me talking?" Luo Xi slightly adjusted the stiff postures of Cat Cat and the Little Wolf Girl. Neither of them woke up. Even though the temperature in the room was now very high, both sisters bodies were still very cold and hard like stones; their hair also lost its usual softness, feeling ice-cold. [Note: Garbage Traveler, it seems impossible to warm them up, so you can only go for the ice cream now!] ??? Eating ice cream, thats all you know, Damn Text! With that level of perversion, its a good thing others cant see my text descriptions, or Id be considered a pervert too! Luo Xi went to the next room to check on a few things and gathered some more warming items for those people. Among the five people, only Shopkeeper Lena and the grey-haired information dealer seemed to be getting warmer. Everyones vital signs were still there, as the frost on their bodies had thawed, but none showed signs of regaining consciousness, occasionally muttering a few meaningless words from their mouths. Luo Xi pondered. Both Lena and Luweiya should be strong, at least second-tier sublimated persons, but they were still confused by the cold. The speed of recovery after the snow disaster, was it related to ones individual strength and ability traits? His own Mutant Factor, although it couldnt resist the suppression of the snow disaster, allowed him to recover quickly afterwards. Hold on, was the snow disaster only affecting humanity? Suddenly, Luo Xi thought of something, tapped his hat, and said softly, "Lady Liya, are you there?" "Lady Liya?" "Respectful Mother-in-Law Lord, are you there? If you are, can you give a little squeak?" "Mother-in-Law Lord, if you dont come out now, Im going to tease your daughter, you know?" "Mother-in-Law Lord, I like you!" [Note: ! Garbage Traveler, are you finally set to switch to being Cao Zei? Or are you planning to have both mother and daughter, as well as sisters? (() Shock!] Luo Xi: "..." Goddamn have them all, I was just shouting casually, Damn Text, are you wishing for my speedy demise? (in every sense of the word.) S~ea??h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. However, since he had gone to this extent and Liya hadnt come out to hit him, it could only mean that Liya was indeed unable to come out right now. After all, she had been frozen by the snow disaster for nearly two days, and the Furnace Core had been in Ainas possession these days, not in his hands; perhaps it needed some time to charge and operate? Luo Xi glanced at the remaining synchronization time this time. After all these actions, fifteen minutes had passed, but except for him, everyone else in the inn was still incapacitated. The Damn Text had mentioned before that everyone in Winter City was frozen, so Rat King Nos and the other old timers were probably in the process of recovering. Maybe this was a good opportunity! Luo Xi walked to the window of the room, opened a crack, and looked outside; the temperature was no longer that cold, although the snow had piled up so high that the first floor was covered. The silver glow of the barrier was still there, but the golden light that was outside seemed to have disappeared. Wait a minute! The first layer of barrier around Winter City had vanished? Luo Xi felt a shock; he went to a room across and opened the window, looking toward the depths of the city. The hundreds of meters tall tree now looked as though it wore a white vest, with countless snowflakes continuously falling, blanketing the area around it into an expanse of white. "Winter Divine Tree, affected by the snow disaster? So the outermost golden barrier cant be released for now?" Everyone in the city might still be in a frozen state; the timing seemed quite perfect. So, could they now directly leave Winter City? Luo Xi had indeed rejected Weiers request to entrust Aina to him, but if he could take both Weier and Aina with him, then he really wouldnt mind leaving this hellish starting instance called Winter City. Frankly, Luo Xi had no confidence in whether the real Liya was still alive. Even the phantom she left behind was unclear about what had happened then, advising them to leave if they could. What to do? Chapter 169 - 148 Aina She is still young (＞﹏＜) Those strange things cannot be done! (4000)_2 Chapter 169: Chapter 148 Aina She is still young (n) Those strange things cannot be done! (4000)_2Luo Xi fell into thought. He returned to Weier and Ainas room, sat on the edge of the bed, and looked at the two sisters who couldnt move. This choice had to be left to Cat Cat and the others. Luo Xi had no right to help them make the choice to abandon their mother. So, could you hurry up and wake up, Weier? [Note: Damn Traveler, do you want to use your body to warm up these two lolitas? The effect might be pretty good~] Luo Xi: "..." What should he do? [Note: First, take a bite of Cat Cats ice cream, then use your scorching body to wrap around their delicate, tender bodies, letting them feel what warmth is like fire~] (#)! Damn text, just go die! However, the damn text made Luo Xi think of something. When the hat transformed from the Furnace Core was on his body, the temperature circulating on the surface of his skin was extremely high. He himself was like a human-shaped heater. That was also the reason Aina liked to get close to him when she was outside. So... Luo Xi lifted the quilt, reached out, and grabbed Weiers small feet that were clad in cotton socks. Then he sat cross-legged on the bed, pulled Aina over as well, and positioned the Little Wolf Girls feet in her long white socks against his thigh, and then covered them with the quilt. It wasnt that he suddenly wanted to listen to the damn text and eat whatever brand of Cat Cat or Cute Wolf ice cream, but starting from the feet was the easiest way to warm up the whole body, a principle that applied in real life in the winters of the north and south alike. [Ding! Your Happiness Level +30] Sar?h the n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Note: Damn Traveler, stop pretending, happiness cannot be hidden, you just want to fondle the Wolf Eared Lolitas slender jade feet!] Is it not allowed for me to be happy at will? A chill emanated from both their legs, making Luo Xi shiver suddenly, but the next moment that coldness was dissipated by the high temperature circulating from his body. Luo Xi didnt deliberately check under the quilt, but soon, the temperature of the two cotton socks he was holding began to rise, becoming warm, and the temperature on his thigh also increased. [Note: Damn Traveler, the taste of warmed-up ice cream might be good too? A unique flavor, perhaps? Why not give it a try?] Enough with that talk, damn text! Does this game even have an official? Im going to blacklist the word ice cream! If this keeps up, he might actually lose control and do something perverted... cough, of course that was impossible! Luo Xi closed his eyes and steadied his emotions. However, based on the feeling in his hands, Weier was indeed delicate. Her foot, even smaller than his palm, was just the right size to hold, and it would definitely be very comfortable to have it tread on his back for a massage. Ainas feet were probably even smaller; the child must have had poor nutrition in these past few years, as she hadnt even started to develop yet. Honestly, the combined weight of the two sisters might not even reach 150 pounds. [Note: Damn Traveler, do you also want to be the Dragon King? But your massage idea is scarcely better than eating ice cream! Hentai!] Luo Xi was almost driven mad by the text. That is far from the mark! And damn text, always thinking about ice cream, you have no right to call me a hentai! A few minutes later, Luo Xi suddenly heard Weier let out a soft hum and mumble some unclear words from her lips. "Mmmso good... no more, its good..." Luo Xis heart leaped with joy. Awesome! Hed finally awakened this Cat Cat! But what are you babbling about, Cat Cat; I cant understand a word? Could it be that after being frozen once, her speech had become abnormal? At that moment, Ainas soft voice rose: "Brother Luo Xi, didnt you notice that Sister Weier is all sweaty? If you continue to heat her up like this, shes going to break." Luo Xi: "..." He looked towards the Little Wolf Girl who, unbeknownst to him, had lifted her head, showing a pair of tea gold eyes. The Wolf Eared Lolita then gave him a cute smile. Even though it wasnt the high-definition synchronization provided by the damn text, Luo Xi still saw the blush on Ainas face and the reflection of sweat on her forehead. Aina gently tapped Luo Xis thigh under the quilt, reluctantly moved her feet away, and then emerged a bit from under the covers; the blankets had now been heated into a large steam oven, and she couldnt take it anymore. The Little Wolf Girl looked over at her sister, whose face was flushed red, mumbling something incomprehensible under her breath. Brother Luo Xi is indeed very warm. But one cant rely on him for too long or get too close. Otherwise, youll end up in a disheveled state like sister right now. Hehe~ but this Weier sister looks so cute, Ive never seen her like this before I really want to record this scene. Luo Xi also realized that he had covered the two of them for too long. So he let go, came out from under the blanket, and moved a bit forward to lift the blanket, feeling Cat Cats clothes. He found that Cat Cats body was already drenched in sweat, her cotton nightgown was wet over a large area, and his hand left a large wet mark as soon as he touched it. Luo Xi turned back and felt Cat Cats cotton socks. The pure white cotton socks were also damp, but he hadnt noticed it when he was holding them. [Note: How could a garbage Traveler immersed in playing with Cat Cat brand ice cream notice such a detail?] Luo Xi: "..." Even so, its not like he did it on purpose, right! He took off Weiers socks, no matter what, these damp socks definitely couldnt be worn anymore. Then Luo Xi took off his hat, allowing the temperature around his body to decrease, and looked toward the Little Wolf Girl on his left, worriedly saying, "Aina, are you okay?" The bed, with the scent of sun-dried flowers emitted by the two Beast Eared Lolitas, underwent a certain change at this moment. However, it didnt start to stink; on the contrary, it smelled even better. He almost steamed Weier and Aina. "Brother, no need to apologize." Aina shook her head and stealthily reached her hand behind her, touching something. Her cheeks, already a bit flushed, suddenly turned completely drunk-red like a red apple. Her tail felt all sweaty and was dripping with perspiration when she stroked it. Wonder if theres any smell left. Can Brother Luo Xi smell it? Theres also something very important. Aina found that although she could move, her legs had no strength at all. But now, she felt a bit... Aina tugged at Luo Xis hand, with drooping wolf ears and a bashful red face, she said with difficulty, "Brother Luo Xi, Aina cant stand up, but Aina needs to go to the bathroom... Brother, can you help Aina for a bit?" [Note: Of course! This kind-hearted big brother loves to help others, especially a cute Beast Eared Little Lolita like you, Aina~] Luo Xi: "..." Damn text, dont think I dont know youre insinuating something again! Before Luo Xi could respond, "Cough, Aina, what did you say? And Luo Xi, why are you here?" Weier coughed heavily twice, opening her eyes, her light red pupils looking at the two on the bed, completely puzzled. "What happened..." Cat Cat slowly got up. Then, she discovered what was wrong with her. All her clothes were soaked through and imbued with a lot of sweat. Her thighs, feet, and the blankets on her body were all wet in large patches, as though she had just been fished out of a river. Weier blinked in confusion. Then, she looked at Luo Xi, sitting on the blanket. And the pair of cotton socks in his hands that belonged to her. [Ding! Weiers Anger Value toward you +20] Luo Xi was taken aback. Weier reached out to feel Aina next to her. Hmm!? Ainas body was also completely soaked! Even her tail had become a wet clump! [Ding! Weiers Anger Value toward you +20] Weier weakly lifted her little fist and (n) hit Luo Xis stomach, "Pervert! Loli-con! What have you done to us?! At least spare Aina! Ive said that Aina is still young, she shouldnt do those things!" Luo Xi: "???" [Note: You garbage Traveler, what good deed have you done to the two Beast Eared Girls?! Confess at once!] Chapter 170 - 149: The First Attempt of a Newborn Traveler to Kidnap Beast Eared Girl Sisters!_1 Chapter 170: Chapter 149: The First Attempt of a Newborn Traveler to Kidnap Beast Eared Girl Sisters!_1Weier gritted her teeth, glaring at Luo Xi who was making an innocent face after she had punched him. The cotton white socks in the young mans hands were enough evidence that this pervert had been up to something strange again. Otherwise, why would her socks end up in Luo Xis hands? Even Aina got soaked because of him. Cat Cat felt an itchy anger in her heart and really wanted to bite the guy. Unfortunately, the strength in her body seemed to have been completely stripped away; although she had warmed up, a chilling cold still lingered, limiting her physical strength and ability to move. Coldness? Wait a minute! Weier suddenly realized something. Her mothers words and the events at the time flooded back into her mind. The third Origin Disaster, the Snow Disaster, Mioslite... Unlike Luo Xi, when the Snow Disaster froze Weiers consciousness, she had no memory of the period, so for Weier, the moment the Snow Disaster occurred felt like it had just happened in the previous moment. The feeling of consciousness being frozen, as if falling into an abyss, the terror of ones body being frozen instantly by an unknown force, all came rushing back to her. Weier shook her head vigorously. So, did this guy help them? Weiers expression softened slightly. The girls lips moved slightly, wanting to say sorry, but as she lifted her head, she saw Luo Xi seemingly studying her pair of socks! He even squeezed them! Water... sweat started to seep out! Weier extended her hand toward Luo Xi, her voice weak, "No, its not alright, you cant do that, its going to smell bad..." "Hmm? What?" Luo Xi glanced at Cat Cat and pinched the cotton socks in his hand again, realizing suddenly. No wonder Cat Cat woke up and immediately punched him. She must have taken him for the kind mentioned in the Damn Text who likes to eat ice cream, the big hentai type. [Note: Stupid garbage Traveler, once the socks are off they arent ice cream anymore, but they can still be a nice collectible~ Im sure they would attract a bunch of horny men.] Who aside from a pervert collects and sells things like this! Luo Xi coughed and said, "Er, I thought damp socks must be uncomfortable to wear, so I took them off for you. Do you need my help to put them back on?" Weier (n) said, "Who needs your help to put them on! Im telling you to stop squeezing my socks... the bad smell is going to come out soon!" After saying so, Cat Cats pretty face turned red all the way to her snow-white shoulder blades. She was already hot, and now it seemed like the heat would drive out all the remaining coldness inside her body. [Ding! Weiers Embarrassment Value +20] Luo Xi: "..." [Note: Actually, Cat Cat, you dont need to worry that much. The ice cream wrapper taken off from small, soft, and fragrant little feet doesnt smell bad at all (*`)Trash Travelers inner thought] I never thought that! Damn Text, stop adding your own commentary! Under Weiers pleading gaze, Luo Xi reluctantly handed out the socks, but to be honest, he really did want to stash them away. Weier snatched them back to put under her blanket, as if worried Luo Xi would try to take them back. At that moment, Aina blinked and lightly laughed, "Brother Luo Xi, I have socks too, do you want them?" Weier immediately got anxious, "Aina, what are you talking about?" Aina, puzzled, asked, "Its just a pair of socks after all, what are you thinking, Sister?" Weier looked down, her face red, "Luo Xi... that pervert will definitely put our socks in his mouth! So we cant give them to him!" Luo Xi: "..." Slander! Cat Cat, this is blatant slander. If I wanted to put them in my mouth or something, under the numerous enticements from the Damn Text, I would have done it a long time ago! Would I still need to wait until now?! [Note: Garbage Traveler, youre aware now, arent you? Dont you regret not having done so before? But if you go die outside now, rewind the time of the day, you still have a chance~] Is rewind, this outrageous ability, made to be used like this? This isnt some strange Liu Bei storyline! Luo Xi took a deep breath and checked the remaining synchronization time. Five minutes left. Weier suddenly asked, "How much time has passed?" Luo Xi said somberly, "A day and a half, and tomorrow is the Divine Trees Festival Day, and also..." Weier murmured, "Its my birthday too." "Weier, Aina, listen to me." Luo Xi sat cross-legged on the bed, looking at the two Lolitas seriously, "Because of yesterdays Snow Disaster, it seems the first layer of golden radiance from the Divine Tree has vanished, now if you use your abilities, we might be able to leave Winter City." Weiers body tensed slightly. The light red eyes lifted to look at Luo Xi, puzzled, "But Luo Xi, didnt you say that..." "Im just telling you, Cat Cat, not rushing you into making a decision," Luo Xi cut off Cat Cats words, smiling, "No matter what you choose, Im with you. If were going to leave, well do it together, and if were staying, well stay together. Of course, if you want to entrust Aina to me, allowing us to leave on our own, I wouldnt do that unless youre not worried I might do something weird to Aina. What do you think, do you think I dare?" Weier instinctively yelled, "You dare!" [Note: You dare, Garbage Traveler! (A declarative sentence)] Shut up, Damn Text! Aina looked at Weier with surprise and asked, "Sister, you want to leave Aina with Brother Luo Xi? What do you mean?" Aina was not privy to the conversations between Luo Xi and Weier. She also never believed her sister would abandon her. Weier dared not look directly into the sad eyes of her little sister. She couldnt just say shed thought, multiple times, about throwing you to that pervert and letting him take you, Aina, away from Winter City while she continued to search for traces of their mother by herself, could she? Luo Xi smiled and said, "Silly Cat Cat, you wouldnt want an extra little nephew, would you?" Aina cocked her head in confusion. Although somewhat scheming, the essentially pure Little Wolf Girl didnt understand the implications of what Luo Xi had just said. What is Brother Luo Xi talking about? And what is this little nephew? Why would sister have an extra little nephew? [Ding! Weiers Anger Value +10] [Ding! Weiers Favorability +10] Weiers body went limp, lying on the bed sheets that were too damp to sleep on. This strange fellow, who spoke perverse words, in reality, seemed as if hed never once entertained the thought of abandoning them and leaving on his own. Not once. Why did this pervert seem so inclined to help them? After all, they had never really spent a few normal days together. Was it because he had a liking for her and Aina? Was it because... of love? Weier was somewhat puzzled. What exactly does this feeling of liking someone entail? She knew that Aina really liked this guy, having been hoodwinked into planning to marry him in the future. What about herself? Her feelings towards his teasing were sometimes irritated, but not repulsed. Could this also be a form of liking? It made no sense. Weier simply stopped thinking about it. The girl pulled up the blanket and, under the puzzled eyes of Aina and Luo Xi, covered her own head with it. Since the outer barriers of Winter City had disappeared, her abilities would naturally allow her to easily penetrate the city walls. She had always been adamant about her own ideas, thinking that finding their mother was the right choice, but perhaps it wasnt. It meant treating the lives of Aina, Luo Xi, and Sister Laina as if they didnt matter. Upon reflection, it seemed like they had fallen into Rat King Noss trap from a few days ago, forced to enter the city because of the plague of locusts, and then trapped by the shrinking barriers, unable to come and go freelyit was like willingly walking into a net. Of course, they didnt have any other choice at the time. If they had gone out to the Snow Field, they would have been easily devoured by the oncoming plague. So, was this latest snow disaster part of those peoples schemes as well? If not, then perhaps the major forces within Winter City were already in chaos; why not take this opportunity to leave Winter City? Mother said her existence was perhaps important to Rat King and his cohorts; without her, they couldnt complete their subsequent plans, so as long as she left, perhaps she could disrupt their conspiracy. "Weier?" Luo Xi softly called out. He was waiting for Cat Cat to make a decision. "I understand now." From beneath the blanket came Weiers voice. Weier flipped the blanket off, got down from the bed, and stood trembling on the ground, barely standing, and said, "Luo Xi, you can still move normally, right?" Luo Xi nodded: "Yes, I can." "How are Shopkeeper Lena and the others?" "They might still be in a frozen state." "Do you think if we leave Winter City, those people might use Sister Laina and the others..." Squeak The door to the room was pushed open from the outside. Shopkeeper Lena, supporting herself on the door frame and out of breath, said, "Weier, you dont need to worry about me. I had never intended to leave this place. You guys should hurry, Ill prepare some warming scrolls and items for you; remember, the farther away you get, the better." After saying this, Shopkeeper Lena closed the door. Weier stood rooted to the spot. Luo Xi looked to Weier, "Cat Cat, are you truly ready for this?" Running away might be seen as cowardly, and the consequences were uncertain, but the outcome of staying put was equally unknown. As for him, as long as today wasnt over, any event that occurred during this period could be regretted. They still knew too little about their true enemies. If they just got through today and arrived at tomorrow, they might be met with endless despair. Luo Xi wanted to know, if they chose to leave Winter City, what kind of reaction would those hidden behind the scenes show?

Aina asked softly, also attempting to rise from the bed, but her legs gave way and she fell back down, uttering a cute whimper. The little wolf girl ( n) covered her stomach. "Ow..." Its, its almost time, cant hold it anymore. "That, that, can you first take Aina to the toilet..." Weier nodded, speaking tenderly, "Sister cant joke with your life, Aina. If we continue like this, I might not be able to protect you. Now that we finally have a chance to leave, it would be a pity to give up." Actually, that was their initial thought, but who knew that so many unexpected events would happen upon entering the city. Aina was startled and looked up, "What about Mom?" "Mom..." Weier lowered her head in silence. She didnt want to give up on Mom either. But the information about Mom was far too vague, they didnt even know if she was dead or alive. What if everything was in vain in the end? "Aina understands!" Ainas tea-gold eyes blinked as she said softly, "No matter what decision sister makes, Aina will follow her anyway, so sister cant leave Aina behind!" "So, sister, can you first take Aina to the..." Weiers eyes suddenly became moist, she hugged Aina on the bed and murmured sadly, "Im sorry, Aina... Ow, Im so useless..." Aina o(xnx)o pushed Weier who was hugging her tightly. But she couldnt push her away. Aina rarely saw her sister Weier cry, and she would have been quite interested to watch if it werent for the special circumstances now. Cant hold it anymore, really cant hold it. The little wolf girl reached out to Luo Xi, pleading, "Brother Luo Xi, save, save Aina..." [Ding! You have triggered a personal mission: Ainas Request] [Mission Brief: Aina cant hold it much longer. She is begging you, the Traveler, to rescue her from her sisters persecution and take her to the toilet] [Mission Reward: +20 Favorability from Aina,] Luo Xi: "..." This mission is so wrong! Since playing this game, almost none of the missions Luo Xi triggered were normal, including weird ones like this that came from wanting to flick a black snake. Luo Xi glanced at the remaining synchronization time. One and a half minutes. Short, but enough. He walked over and stroked Weiers cat ears. Petted it once, Cat Cat didnt respond, still holding onto Aina, not letting go. The second pet, Cat Cat still didnt react. On the third pet, Luo Xi resolutely grabbed Weiers tempting cat tail from behind. S~ea??h the ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Ding! Your Happiness Level +20] Now somewhat wet and matted from excessive sweat, Cat Cats tail had its fur bunched up in curls, but that didnt diminish the feeling of petting a wet stray cat or dog after the rain. However, in reality, a wet stray cat or dog would just end up smelly after the rain. The scent of Weier and Aina, on the other hand, became more pleasant. Starting from the tip of the cat tail, Luo Xi adeptly stroked upwards, petting the fur in reverse. After this series of actions, Weier instantly bristled, she pulled back her tail, and turned her head sharply with an angry p on her forehead. [Ding! Weiers Anger Value +30] "Pervert! Cant you keep your fondling hands to yourself..." Taking advantage of the moment Weier relaxed, Luo Xi snatched Aina from Cat Cats arms and dashed towards the toilet with her. Clap Into the bathroom, closing the door, placing Aina on the toilet, and then Luo Xi stepped out and closed the door behind him. Keep a low profile. [Note: Garbage Traveler, why didnt you go into help Aina yourself?] If I had helped in there, wouldnt I have truly become a pervert?! [Ding! Ainas Favorability +20] Ainas favorability increases again and again! [Note: Garbage Traveler, Ainas favorability has already qualitatively changed, continuing to farm it is useless, do you want to turn this little wolf-eared lolita into a yandere?] Luo Xi: "?" Can it even turn into yandere? The image of a wolf-eared lolita with a cold expression and holding a kitchen knife appeared in his mind. Hiss He definitely didnt want a yandere little wolf girl! Luo Xi shook his head and looked at Weier, who was still obviously confused on the bed. He smiled and said, "Youre not doing a good job as a sister, you almost caused your little sister to suffer a social death right here." "What social death? And just now you... ah..." Weier recollected the embarrassment on her little sisters face and the interrupted conversation, coupled with the discomfort in her lower abdomen, she suddenly realized. The regretful Cat Cat lowered her head. Perhaps, she really wasnt cut out to be a sister. Luo Xi took the opportunity to walk over and pet Cat Cats head, "Well then, silly Cat Cat, lets start preparing for our... escape." [Ding! Synchronization has ended] [Traveler, we welcome your return~] ... Under the cover of night, Noss emerged from the snowdrift, moving his shoulders and casually shaking off the snow from his body. He closed his eyes and sensed his surroundings. Damn it. This snow disaster hit and had frozen to death most of the rat informants he had placed in the city. And this was just the beginning. He admitted he had underestimated the snow disaster before. Chapter 173 - 151 Silly Cat Cat, oh, your sister will definitely be pregnant in a year!_1 Chapter 173: Chapter 151 Silly Cat Cat, oh, your sister will definitely be pregnant in a year!_1The sound of rats? Luo Xis breathing momentarily seized. Had Rat King Nos arrived? He just knew that the Rat King wouldnt let them leave Winter City so easily. However, Nos probably didnt expect that, once the effects of the snow disaster waned, they would pack up and flee without stopping for a moment. Even if he did pursue them, it should take a period of time; he couldnt possibly have reached their front so quickly. [Traveler, upon hearing the sound of rats, you did not stop in place but chose to continue moving forward] Sarch* The n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Suddenly, Weier leapt up gracefully and snatched something from the tree] [It was a black rat, struggling wildly in Cat Cats hands, trying to bite through her gloves] ["Ah!" Aina exclaimed softly, burying her head on your back, not daring to look at the rat in her sisters hands] [Weiers expression was very serious: "Rat King Nos may be coming."] [In such a cold climate, its almost impossible for ordinary rats to survive in the Snow Field. This can only mean these rats arent normal animals or someone is commanding them] [Soon after, you all discover that many black objects are scuttling through the snow forest, appearing all around you, seemingly all some kind of rat] [At the same time, the night grows deeper] [Weier had told you before that the wilderness, or the Snow Field, is most dangerous at night] [Traveler, you ask, "How far are we from that town?"] [Weier calculates briefly and says, "If we keep up this pace and dont run into any mishaps, we might reach there by dawn."] [Weier looks at you and says softly, "Luo Xi, if he catches up later, youll protect Aina. Ill hold him off."] [Traveler, you know what Cat Cat means in her words, you shake your head, just about to refuse, but Weier interrupts you] [In the night, the cat-eared girl walks ahead with her hands behind her back, suddenly turns her head, and smiles brightly; her smile seems to bring a hint of warmth to the icy Snow Field] [She says, "At least, its better than none of us being able to escape, right? As for things like a little nephew, if you really were that kind of person, Aina wouldnt be so close to you."] [Aina leans on your back, tilting her head in confusion (Cute Wolf doesnt understand)] [Note: Oh you silly Cat-eared Girl, there are no police uncles in this world to haul away this garbage Traveler. Dont trust his moral bottom line so much! Give him a year, and your sister is bound to get pregnant!] Luo Xi: "(p)." Damn Text, dont think about sowing discord; Cat Cat cant even see what youre writing! And what the hell is this about getting pregnant! Im a university student, not a progenitor! [Traveler, you fall silent for a while, and you dont give a definite answer] [You dont hope to leave Winter City in one go] [Of course, if you could just take two Lolitas and leave, that would be great too, leave this Hell-level starter copy for whomever wants to play!] [Note: Translating a bit, if this abduction plan could succeed just like that, it would be great, and theres no need to worry about the mother-in-law or anything] Fxxk, where did I imply that? [Traveler, you continue to follow the maps guidance through the night] Eleven oclock. Luo Xi glanced at the time. [After a long journey, you, Traveler, are still fine, but Weier looks somewhat fatigued. From leading the way at first to following beside you, now she has fallen behind you] ["Cat Cat, can you still walk? If not, I will carry you."] [Traveler, you say and turn around, noting that Weier appears to be in pain, clutching her chest and squatting in the snow, breathing with difficulty] ["Sister?"] [Aina jumps down from your back and runs to Weiers side, looking worriedly at her sister] [Traveler, youre about to step forward to check when you hear a strange vibration coming from the woods behind] [Goo] [A voice rises, somewhat deep and containing a hint of annoyance] ["Youve really given me a good chase, little Weier. You should have just stayed obediently in the city. Why do you do these unnecessary things? You and your mother are just as troublesome!"] [Traveler, hearing the voice, you immediately clutch Weier, pick up Little Aina, and try to retreat] [But in the snowy forest, who knows when countless little things surrounded you, encircling you completely. You turn your head and in front there is a swarm of rats; you no longer have ground to stand on] [From the darkness, a middle-aged man steps out. He has a steel sword hanging from his waist and rat-like ears on his head. One eye is bleak, the other eerily green. In his hand, he also holds a blue Skill staff] [Suddenly, Traveler, you seem to hear the sound of rats, along with the hissing of snakes] Luo Xi opens the talent module in the text. [Current usable Immersion (Happiness), would you like to use it?] [Yes] [Ding! You have used 208 Happiness Level] [Immersion (Happiness): In this state, your character will receive a strength bonus of +20.8%, your Resistance to negative spirit-based Skills +20.8%, and the talent duration must not exceed ten minutes] Chapter 174 - 151 Stupid Cat Cat, your sister will definitely be pregnant a year later! _2 Chapter 174: Chapter 151 Stupid Cat Cat, your sister will definitely be pregnant a year later! _2[Traveler, welcome to the journey of dreams~] This time, Luo Xis accumulated Happiness Level wasnt much, but even if he had stacked up to 1000 points of happiness bonus, increasing all qualities by 100%, Luo Xi felt it would still be of no use against that Mouse King. Just what Tier was the Mouse King as a Mutated Transcendent? Third-tier, Tier Four? The Third-tier of an Origin Beast is known as Calamity; from the Third-tier onward, whether its an Origin Beast or a Transcendent, strength undergoes an exponential leap. Using his old power armor, he could easily trounce those First-tier and Second-tier soldiers, but he couldnt possibly be a match for a powerhouse like the Mouse King. But it didnt matter anymore. S~ea??h the ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. After all, his real goal wasnt to defeat the Mouse King against the odds. What he needed was only enough useful information. ... The chilling cold wind blew by, brushing against Luo Xis face as he carried the two sisters like sacks, one in each hand. Luo Xi glanced at Aina in his left hand and Weier in his right, then squinted ahead, his powerful night vision allowing him to see the people in front clearly, even through the darkness. The clarity of vision under the state of Immersion talent was ultra-high definition. Therefore, to Luo Xi, the middle-aged man who appeared quite amiable was actually abhorrent; his sullen complexion seemed as if he wanted to flay them alive. Weier struggled out of Luo Xis embrace, covering her chest as she stood up with difficulty. She weakly said, "Luo Xi, take Aina and go, dont worry about me anymore. Weve already come this far, yet he can still lock onto my position through some means. With me, youll only get dragged down." "Cat Cat, stop talking." Luo Xi looked at Noss and asked sternly, "What have you done to Weier?" Weiers condition had been quite good before, so it couldnt have worsened so suddenly; the Mouse King must have done something. Squeak squeak squeak Countless mice squeaked as they scurried past Luo Xis feet, while the middle-aged man walked over, surrounded by the mice. Noss waved the blue magical staff in his hand and said with a laugh, "What have I done? Who are you? Do I need to explain myself to you? Not killing you directly before was my mistake, but not this time." Weiers pupils contracted as she said, "Thats the same one Mother used to use..." Noss smiled warmly and said, "Right, this is the magical staff that your mother Liya left behind, a Lost Yuan Qi passed down from ancient legends. Uncle had intended to personally return this staff to you the day after we entered Winter City. Who knew youd sneak in on your own?" Luo Xi took out a hat, put it on his head, and said, "Is this why youve been able to find Weier?" "Correct. Liyas heavily used staff, imprinted with her deep traces. Using the staff to find her blood-connected daughter is still within my capabilities... Did I give you permission to ask questions?" The Mouse King, facing Luo Xi who showed no fear on his face, spoke coldly, "You, a young man who knows neither fear of heaven nor earth, got lucky and picked up a life; you dont really think youre immortal, do you? If you mess up this Festival, then Ill have to wait another three years, and your death a million times over wouldnt be compensation enough!" The corners of Luo Xis mouth raised slightly. Noss: "..." What was this guy smiling at? Was there something amusing? [Ding! Nosss Anger Value towards you +20] Weier gently tugged on Luo Xis clothes, "Ill distract him; you two go!" Luo Xi looked at Weier. He shook his head. Looking at the situation, if the other party didnt want to let them go, how could he possibly leave? "Mouse King, I know you need me." Seeing Weier couldnt dissuade Luo Xi, she took a step forward, holding a dagger to her neck, and said sharply, "Let them go, or else, right here Ill..." "Oh?" Noss said, puzzled, "Little Weier, what gave you the illusion that you can negotiate terms with me? Is it him? A Variant Transcendent who has just entered First-tier?" Suddenly, the middle-aged man disappeared from his original spot. An instant later, he appeared in front of Luo Xi. The Mouse King drew his steel sword from his waist and, with speed invisible to Luo Xis naked eyejust as beforesliced Luo Xis entire body in two. Aina saw this scene and immediately her eyes lost their lustre. Weier was stunned, kneeling weakly on the snow, with indescribable sorrow, she said, "Why did you have to do this... I trusted you so much before..." Noss walked up to Weier, picked up the unconscious Aina, let out a light sigh and said, "Little Weier, you dont need to know so much. You just have to wait for your fate to unfold. That year, it was your mother who cut off my path, and now, its your turn to repay." "Lets go, lets head back." The Rat King reached out to pull the numb Weier, but he did not see that Luo Xis fallen body was disintegrating, his belongings were vanishing, and rats were already scurrying over, covering his body. Noss muttered to himself, "One oclock in the morning the next day, theres still two hours left. I wonder how well Mazar has arranged things. Will that little city owner obey his commands? If we cant control it well, things might get really messy." If we leave now, we can still make it in time. However, an accident happened. Creak, creak Noss frowned and turned around. What was that noise? A black powered armor emerged from the snowy forest. Black and red flames erupted from the armor, charging towards Weier, intent on ramming her to death. The Rat King hesitated for a moment, set down Aina, grabbed his steel sword, and went for the armor. No matter where this thing came from, he could not let anything happen to Weier. Thus, the Rat King collided with the powered armor, his steel sword easily slicing through the armors external steel plating. Something unexpected happened. The powered armors internal Yuan Su went berserk, grabbing hold of the Rat Kings body, refusing to let go. The Rat King realized something. In its final moments, the powered armors power core could not only bear the load and exert several times the strength, but it could also act as a bomb and self-destruct. Noss laughed wildly, "No matter who is inside this thing, youve underestimated a Tier Four Transcendent too much. I can withstand the attack of an ordinary lord-level Origin Beast..." Boom! With an earth-shattering roar, the powered armor exploded. "Aaaaah!" The Rat Kings body was engulfed by the fierce blast and scorching heat, thrown back, and smashed against a distant tree. Clutching one bloodied eye, he looked furiously and incredulously at the ground ablaze with fire. Why did this old powered armor have such explosive force in its self-destruct ability?! Impossible! ..... Amidst those fierce flames, a golden little Elf Lolita hugged Luo Xis forehead, gently kissed it and said, "Master, this is Sparks final light. Im sorry... This is all Spark can do." Then, she completely shattered into light. Luo Xis body was also full of cracks, his eyes downcast, he reached out to touch those scattered light points and softly said, "It wont be the last." Luo Xi glanced towards Aina and Weier in the distance. He smiled. Then, the young mans figure was completely engulfed by the firelight. [Ding! Talent: MoonflowZero Point has been triggered] [Do you choose to return to zero oclock today?] [Yes] Chapter 175 - 152 Lord Mother-in-law, I’m going to undress your daughters! _1 Chapter 175: Chapter 152 Lord Mother-in-law, Im going to undress your daughters! _1Luo Xis consciousness came to a sudden halt. The book, radiating with rainbow light and peculiar patterns, had its pages slowly flipping backward as they were about to reach the end. [Ding! Talent: MoonflowZero Point has been triggered] [Traveler, I wish you good luck~] ..... Luo Xi bolted upright from the bed, taking in deep, ragged breaths. He immediately checked the time on his phone. October 2nd. Zero hours, twelve seconds. At the same time, a prompt appeared in front of his text. [Traveler, your spirit has undergone severe turmoil, all attributes of your role in the Dream World have decreased by 10% (this negative status cannot be reversed by resurrection, and will last for 8 hours)] The negative effects of Moonflows rewind appeared. Luo Xi poked at his temple. It felt somewhat uncomfortable. This negative status should manifest outside of the Dream World as well, right? Luo Xi was curious to know if he used the rewind within these eight hours again, whether the debuff would stack repeatedly? [Friendly reminder: Using Moonflow for multiple rewinds in a short period of time will significantly increase the Travelers spiritual pressure, and the negative effects will double. Traveler, please rest well before continuing~] Luo Xi: "..." An eight-hour negative status wasnt a big deal; after all, from now until the time the snowstorms impact fades this afternoon, itll be more than eight hours. A strong wave of sleepiness surged up. He could sleep until about six in the afternoon first. Luo Xi set an alarm on his phone for six p.m. today, inhaled the familiar scent of flowers on the bed, tilted his head, and fell into a deep sleep. When he was woken by the alarm, it was already six in the afternoon. Not a second more, not a second less. [Traveler, you have awakened from the freeze brought by the snow disaster] [You lean against the door, feeling the rigid bodies of Weier and Aina being held in your arms] [Having seen this scene before, you unflappably pick them up and move them to the next room] Luo Xi revealed a satisfied smile. Sar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. He refused to believe that the Rat King Noss, no matter how powerful or well-prepared, could match his time reset ability. This kidnapping... escape plan failed as expected, but Luo Xi learned several important pieces of information. First, Noss had the staff left by Weiers mother in his hands. With the connection between the staff and Weier, no matter how far they ran, Noss could still lock onto Weiers location and even affect her physically. Therefore, to leave with escape as a precondition, they must get that staff. Second, at the moment when Rat King Noss self-destructed, he seemed to have said that he was a Tier Four Transcendent. Damn, this really is a hell-level difficulty for the initial instance. Luo Xi couldnt think of any way to confront Rat King Noss head-on. He had experienced it twice already. Even controlling the power armor, he was still getting crushed, not to mention the existence of another mysterious force from the City Owners mansion. [Note: Trash Traveler, we already told you, if you had given up on kidnapping the beast-eared lolitas earlier, none of this wouldve happened. But you are a hopeless loli-con who cant move on from beast-eared girls~] Damn text, what do you understand! The rat king had, in fact, killed him several times. For this reason alone, Luo Xi could not just slink away alone. A gentleman must seek revenge for the slightest grievance, or he is no man at all! [Note: Rat King has killed you several times (), Kidnapping the lolitas has not yet succeeded (), hence you dont want to leave] Damn it! Luo Xi pulled down the synchronous module on the text. After the rewind, all skills, including the Immersion talent, had their cooldown reset. [Would you like to use the Dreamland Synchronization Module?] [Yes] There was a point he was very concerned about and had to see for himself in the Dream World once more. [Traveler, welcome to the journey of dreams~] ... Luo Xi rubbed his brow. In the Dream World, he was now sitting on the bed in Weier and Ainas room. But Luo Xi did not immediately start warming their feet. He cleared a space in the room and laid Spark horizontally on the ground. Then he took out the hat transformed from the Furnace Core and the incomplete scrolls Liya had given him before and placed them together. However, the hat merged smoothly into Spark, but the incomplete scrolls had no reaction whatsoever. Doesnt it work? Luo Xi took the hat out again, his eyes filled with confusion. Forget it, Ill wake up Weier and Aina first. Following the previous method, he stuffed both of them under the blankets and then put the hat on. He got into bed and started to warm up the sisters. This time, however, Luo Xi didnt use both hands to grab Cat Cats feet. Instead, he took one foot from each sister, holding onto the sock part, and alternated warming them up. After a period of heating, Luo Xi switched to their other feet. Rotating the warmth like this should keep the temperature from getting too high and still allow Weier and Aina to warm up and wake up. But even so, both sisters socks became visibly wet, with moisture seeping through them. [Note: Last time, Traveler, you didnt get to try the ice cream. This time, why not give it a shot? Its really tasty (*`*), fragrant, cold, warm, and salty~] Damn text, why are you here again! You say that as if youve tasted it yourself! Theres no way I can eat ice cream, at least not now! Luo Xi looked up and softly said, "Lady Liya, why arent you speaking? Is there a problem somewhere?" Before the rewind, as he was using Spark to operate the Furnace Core and directly confront Rat King Nos, Liyas voice finally emerged. At that time, he heard Liya scold him: You little punk, are you an idiot? This enemy is not one you can face! Nos is even holding my staff, what on earth was the real me doing that day, why did I lose something so important? I should never have let you leave the city! Luo Xi listened to Liyas nagging and didnt think much of it then. He just wanted to damn Rat King Nos before the rewind. Liya seemed to sense his determination and then told him that the runes on the Furnace Core could be reversed to create a self-destruct effect similar to that of a power armor. Since the runes drawn on it were Tier Four, their explosive power might catch Rat King off guard or even severely injure him, although killing him was impossible. Luo Xi did not hesitate to take up Liyas suggestion. When the Furnace Core exploded and Spark was completely destroyed, before his body shattered completely, he heard a long sigh from Liya. "Has the soul born from this power armor truly gained such wisdom? If it were her, she might be able to communicate with the other rune components... too bad... such a pity... theres no if anymore..." Now looking back, Luo Xi was very concerned about Liyas last sigh at the time. Theres no if for others, but he had returned seven hours earlier, which made the word if definite for him. The so-called rune components, were they those seemingly useless rune scrolls that Liyas Projection left in the Mansion of the City Lord? Liya had said that he might be able to use them. But she didnt say Spark could use them. So he had never tried to pair those scrolls with Spark. The compatibility of Spark with the Furnace Core was already very low, and Liya had never suggested stuffing those scrolls into the power armor. After all, if this method were viable, Liya would have certainly tried it herself at the beginning. So, mother-in-law, can you please not sleep anymore? If you keep sleeping like this, believe me or not, I really will start teasing your daughters? "Lady Liya, I have a question for you, please wake up." "Lady Liya? Are you there?" "Mother-in-law, wake up! Did you not see me greasing up your daughter? Weiers feet are smaller than my hands, heh heh." However, having said such bold words, the hat remained silently lying on Luo Xis head. Luo Xi: (ب#). [Note: Trash Traveler, dont just talk and not act. You can start by teasing them with ice cream; first, have a taste of Cat Cats ice cream, then Cute Wolfs ice cream. You can also try both together, the mixed taste isnt bad either...] Shut up, damn text! If youve got the guts, damn it, materialize for me, Ill make you taste my feet! Luo Xi took a deep breath. Then, he removed the socks that were now soaking wet from Cat Cats feet. Then he took off Ainas long white socks. Truth be told, if these Beast Eared Girls could wear the long white silk stockings from reality, Luo Xi might really give in to his desires, but the socks worn in the Dream world in winter were too thick and didnt feel real to the touch. [Note: So is this the real reason you are holding back from eating ice cream, Traveler?] Thats not it! Luo Xi now wanted to see if Liyas rune Projection was indeed completely unresponsive to the outside world, or if she was simply ignoring him. He lifted the blanket a bit. After that, he slowly began to unbutton the wet shirt on Cat Cat. One, two, three. He glimpsed Cat Cats pale, slightly sweaty belly appearing before his eyes. Unfortunately, his vision was blurred by a thin mosaic in this state, and he couldnt see anything clearly. So Luo Xi remained very calm. After all, he couldnt see anything. His body transparent like crystal, his mind clear as a mirror. [Note: Trash Traveler, so why are your hands shaking now? Why did you stop at Cat Cats belly and not go any further? You could undress her more! Who are you fooling with this much!] Shut up, damn text! I dont really want to do this! However, Luo Xi had nearly undressed Cat Cat halfway, and yet the hat on his head remained without any response. Could it be that the mother-in-law had indeed completely lost the ability to sense the outside world? Previously she was able to give him a slap when he was teasing Weier or petting Aina. Luo Xi hesitated for a moment, then lifted the blanket on Ainas side, revealing the Little Wolf Girls clothes. Teasing Cat Cat doesnt bring much guilt, but with Aina, if its done too excessively, it feels like he might be arrested by the interdimensional police at any moment. Just as Luo Xi pinched the button on Ainas pajamas, the hat finally couldnt stand still and shook a little. One. Two. Three... Thwack That moment, Luo Xi felt a pressure on his head, the hat pulled back sharply, hit him hard, and dragged his body backward, tossing him onto Cat Cats belly. Weier was suddenly awakened. Cat Cat looked up, her face full of confusion, looking at the stunned Luo Xi lying on top of her. "Whats happening??" Chapter 176 - 153 Aina’s Tail is Still Fragrant even When Sweaty (*′﹃｀*)_1 Chapter 176: Chapter 153 Ainas Tail is Still Fragrant even When Sweaty (**)_1The sudden force of the hat caused Luo Xi to smash the back of his head against the soft belly of the Cat Cat behind him without warning. It also directly woke up Weier. Luo Xi intended to get up immediately, but after moving slightly, he suddenly felt reluctant to rise. Weier seemed very petite, but her lower abdomen was a bit chubby and soft, very elastic, and upon close contact, the even richer scent of sun-dried flowers entered his nostrils. [Ding! Your Happiness Level +50] [Ding! Your Happiness Level +20] [Note: You old pervy Traveler, did you plan all of this? Truly a lucky wolf in sheeps clothing!] Who damn is the lucky pervert? I didnt equip that "Muggle" title! And dont call me old pervy! However..... Cat Cats little belly is indeed fragrant and soft~0Q. Much more comfortable than the ordinary household pillows. They say that girls with a Lolita build are like this, after all, they need enough body space to accommodate their internal organs and organs, and even if their bodies are small, their belly wont be too flat. [Note: Garbage Traveler, how do you know all this? Could it be youve researched this a long time ago? You Hentai!] Damn it! With the internet so advanced these days, seeing some strange knowledge from time to time is quite normal, isnt it? About the fact that his strange knowledge has increased (jpg.) Weier looked at the young man on top of her, puzzled and unaware of what had happened. Why did she end up on the bed as soon as she opened her eyes? Wasnt she in the corridor before? Why is Luo Xi lying on top of her right now? Why... Hmm? Weier assessed her bodys condition. It felt a bit chilly inside, but also somewhat warm. The cold came from within, while the warmth was from the outside. The two offset each other, making her whole body damp, as though it had been soaked in water. Also, why does it seem like some of her clothes have been taken off, and Luo Xi is now lying on her belly? ??? Her clothes have been taken off? At this thought, Cat Cats long tail sticking out of the blanket stiffened, and those pretty pale red eyes became frantic. The young girls pretty face, the tips of her ears, and her entire bodys temperature suddenly skyrocketed, turning her milky white and silky-smooth skin bright red in no time. So much so that Luo Xi could feel the temperature of the Cat Cats abdominal skin soar right behind his head. Woo! Weier pursed her lips. This pervert... this Loli-con! While she was passed out, he actually took off part of her clothes! She couldnt have already been... Right, wheres Aina? Weier turned her neck stiffly, looking towards Aina lying beside her. Ainas buttons were also undone, two of them! Fortunately, her sisters clothes seemed to be in order, so perhaps the pervert hadnt had time to act? [Ding! Weiers Anger Value +80] By this time, Luo Xi had already gotten up. After all, he couldnt keep lying there; accidents are accidents, but continuing to take advantage of the Cat Cat would just prove hes a perv, wouldnt it? Luo Xi rubbed his head and looked at the Cat-eared girl behind him who seemed to have crashed with some confusion. "Cat Cat?" Last time, Weier woke up and immediately punched him. This time it was even more sowhy isnt Cat Cat hitting him? Weier was silent for a long time. Hit him? What good would that do? Since things had already reached this point, she actually didnt dislike this guy, so... For some reason, Cat Cats usually high intellect seemed to quickly decline at this moment. With a wronged expression, Weier said softly, "Pervert... you should, you will take responsibility, right?" Luo Xi: "???" What the hell? Did the Cat Cat break? Luo Xi said with a wry smile, "I didnt do anything, okay!" Weier was taken aback. She looked at her exposed belly, fastened the buttons with two fingers, and asked, "Then why did you..." Luo Xi pointed to his hat and explained, "It was just a little experiment. I wanted to test the situation with your mother... I mean your mom. Shes been quiet since we woke up." "Oh..." [Ding! Weiers Anger Value +20] Weier nodded. Then, Cat Cat suddenly punched Luo Xi in the stomach, (ߣ) said, "What kind of test is that! Its fine with my clothes, but why did you take off Ainas clothes too! You pervert! Suspicious character! Loli-con!" [Note: Garbage Traveler, wouldnt it be better to just admit to everything? Cat Cat seems almost ready to give herself away. You couldve been on top of the world, but now youre less than nothing~] Luo Xi: "..." Damn Text, go to hell. Luo Xi didnt make any other moves after that. Sure enough, Weier soon calmed down. Just like the last time, she remembered everything that happened in the corridor. Cat Cats eyes softened once more. This guy, he wasnt beyond hope after all. "Woo..." At this moment, Aina woke up, too. The Little Wolf Girl looked at her sister and Luo Xi with confusion. "Brother Luo Xi, Weier sister, whats this... ah, why is there so much water on Ainas body..." Aina pulled at her clothes in bewilderment. Two of her buttons were undone. When did they come undone? Suddenly, Aina covered her belly and said with a blushing face, "That, Brother Luo Xi, can you take Aina to..." "You want to go to the bathroom, right?" Luo Xi asked. Aina paused, then obediently nodded and said, "Yes, Id appreciate it, brother." Luo Xi picked up the Little Wolf Girl and took her to the bathroom. Weier: "..." She sat on the bed, watching this scene, and felt it was a bit strange. Why did she feel like this guy knew exactly what Aina was going to say? Was it her illusion? When Luo Xi came out of the bathroom, he flicked the hat on his head. "Lady Liya, you may not be able to respond to me right now, but the hit you gave me earlier shows that you still have some awareness of the outside world." Luo Xi came next to the Spark on the ground and whispered, "The elf inside my powered armor seems quite interesting. Could you take a look? Maybe those six scrolls you gave me could be of use?" Having said that, Luo Xi opened the cockpit of the Spark and entered it. The hatch closed. [Power core has been successfully loaded] [Mithril mechanisms are operating normally] In the dark cockpit, golden light points gathered from all around, and suddenly, a blond Little Lolita wearing white thigh-high stockings landed on Luo Xis shoulder, casually swinging her legs. The Spark (R?Q)? exclaimed joyfully, "Master, do you need Sparks help? Spark is ready! Master, please infuse the searing strength into me! Spark can withstand it!" Luo Xi: "..." No matter how many times he heard the powered armors elf speak, he always found it outrageous. Surely nobody taught her these words? Why could Spark so naturally say these words that could easily lead ones thoughts astray? Luo Xi glanced at Sparks white thigh-highs. Huh? He remembered that last time they werent thigh-high socks. When did they change? [Note: Damn Traveler, just think about what you were thinking when you petted those two sisters legs just now. You wanted white thigh-highs, right?~] "..." No! He definitely hadnt thought about that. Luo Xi guiltily moved his gaze away from the white stockings of Spark. He recalled the image of the little creature kissing him amidst the brilliant explosion of the powered armor in the snowy forest before the time reversal. And those parting words. It was somewhat painful. If he could, he didnt want this little one to just fade away like that. Luo Xi took out the six scrolls that Lady Liya had given him from his bag. [Unknown special rune scrolls x6 (incomplete)] Luo Xi asked, "Spark, can you use these scrolls?" Spark flew down to take a look and shook her head, saying, "No can do, Master. Actually, the current power source is already very poorly matched with Spark. Although these scrolls contain powerful strength, they dont really match with Spark, and it looks like theyre also not complete." "I see." Luo Xi sighed. Was he overthinking it? He called out softly, "Lady Liya?" There was still no response. It seemed that Lady Liyas rune projection was in some sort of recovery state during these hours. Although she couldnt respond, she still had an awareness of the outside world. What to do now? Luo Xi pondered for a moment. Better to come out first; with Lady Liya not responding, staying in the armor was just wasting synchronization time. Luo Xi comforted Spark, telling her that he would definitely let her take her turn next time, then he retrieved the Furnace Core and exited the cockpit. Weier was sitting by the bed, buried in the blankets. Seeing Luo Xi come out, she asked doubtfully, "What are you doing, pervert?" "Trying to see if I could get my hands on some divine gear to show off..." Luo Xis face twitched, and he said speechlessly, "Cat Cat, cant you stop calling me a pervert every now and then?" Am I, a paragon of the new generation of college students, without any need for face? [Note: New generation of college students? (crossed out) Damn Traveler, youre a big piece of bullshit!] Damn text! Weier turned her head away. Who knew what this pervert did to her and Aina when they had passed out. Considering the previous times she was fondled by Luo Xis Fondling Hands, and the fact that Luo Xi duped Aina several times, it was pretty much a done deal that Luo Xis reputation as a pervert was cemented in Weiers mind. Strangely enough, she couldnt bring herself to hate him. Moreover, seeing him, her heart seemed somewhat sad. Why? Was it because he had already died once before her eyes? "Brother Luo Xi, Aina is better now, can you come over and help Aina again?" The Little Wolf Girl called Luo Xi softly from the bathroom. "Aina, wait a moment, Big Sister is coming." Weier responded to her sisters call and tried to stand up, but her legs went weak the moment she rosehaving awoken earlier, Luo Xi practically shocked her awake, and she had barely regained any strength. Cat Cat said helplessly, "Luo Xi, go check on Aina." Luo Xi paused for a moment. Sar?h the N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. This time the development seemed a bit different from last time. Last time it was Weier who brought Aina out. "Okay." Luo Xi went into the bathroom and carried out the Little Wolf Girl, who had already put on her pants. Ainas weight was as light as a feather to him now. He also habitually petted Ainas hanging big tail. The wet, soft wolf tail~(**), so healing, as if all the fatigue in his body was dissolving away. [Ding! Your Happiness Level +20] [Ding! Weiers Anger Value +10] Luo Xi didnt look at Cat Cats murderous glare and nonchalantly placed Aina back on the bed. [Time remaining for this synchronization: 15 minutes 48 seconds] Because he acted quickly this time, waking Weier and Aina, only a short while had passed. He still had to wake up the others next door. At that moment, Aina grabbed Luo Xis sleeve. With her face blushing, Aina leaned close to Luo Xis ear and asked softly, "Brother Luo Xi, Ainas tail is all sweaty now, it doesnt smell bad, right?" [Note: Of course, it still smells nice, Damn Traveler is very happy now~] Chapter 177 - 154: The Hatchet Wolf Ears Girl ~ So soft and easy to fall over! _1 Chapter 177: Chapter 154: The Hatchet Wolf Ears Girl ~ So soft and easy to fall over! _1Luo Xi rubbed Ainas hair and laughed, "Not at all, where did that stink come from?" On the contrary, the smell has become even better. He didnt deny the Damn Texts statements this time. Touching the fluffy Rua has always been quite delightful. Especially with someone like Aina and her big tail, petting it really feels nice, even more comfortable than Cat Cats long tail. [Note: Poor Cat Cat, in the eyes of the garbage Traveler, you have been surpassed by the young Cute Wolf Sister. Maybe its indeed because of your age being too high? ~] Luo Xi: "?" What does this have to do with age?! And considering Cat Cats age, she would at most look like a high school graduate in the real world, and even fit in at middle school without any sense of contradiction, a flourishing young girl. Theres no basis for saying her age is too high. [Note: You got it wrong, garbage Traveler. What we meant was you only like illegal beast-eared Lolitas, but not the legal ones~] Luo Xi: "(p)." Im just expressing my true feelings about petting the tails of the two beast-eared girls! Dont make it sound like Im a pervert who only likes young girls! "Mhm, mhm." Upon hearing Luo Xis words, Ainas little face turned red as she glanced down and reached for her own tail. In the bathroom, she had also touched and sniffed it a bit, and there was no strange smell. Otherwise, she might have gone to take a full bath before coming out. After all, Brother Luo Xi could touch her tail at any time~ [Ding! Ainas Favorability toward you +5] Luo Xi: "..." Huh? There wasnt the personal quest like last time, so why did the Favorability of this Wolf Eared Lolita still increase? [Note: Beware, a Yandere Saw-wielding Wolf Eared Lolita is waiting for you ahead, garbage Traveler. Your destined return path seems to be paved with saws~] I want nothing to do with a Yandere Wolf Lady! Weier, on the other hand, was eyeing Luo Xi intently. This pervert really doesnt miss any chance to lay his hands on Aina. After putting the two sisters back into the bed, Luo Xi said, "Cat Cat, take good care of Aina. Im going next door for a bit to check on everyone else." "Okay..." Weier responded a bit foolishly and then realized she didnt have to listen to Luo Xis orders at all. How could she possibly not take good care of Aina? Aina is my sister, not the sister of this pervert! In Cat Cats somber gaze, Luo Xi opened the door and returned to the neighboring room. Shopkeeper Lena and a few others were still in a state of being frozen from the negative effects. According to Luo Xis observations, after the effects of the snow disaster dissipated, thanks to his Mutation Factors characteristics, it took him just around ten seconds to thaw. Transcendents like Lena and Luweiya needed close to half an hour, while the others took even longer. Oh, and theres this intelligence shop owner named Luweiya who, after leaving the city with him last time, took off without saying a word. Shouldnt you at least pay for the ride? Luo Xi put on his hat with practiced ease. Of course, this time he didnt perform the elaborate act of warming everyones feet. He arranged the people on the bed, covered them with blankets, and then he himself lay in the middle under the blankets. When the Yuan Su Furnace Core is active, it elevates the temperature of his bodys surface. This kind of temperature increase seems to be somewhat different from typical heating due to its interaction with the Mutation Factor, directly affecting the inner depths of a persons body. For instance, now, if Luo Xi wished, he could easily produce black and red flames on his body. That was the ability and special traits brought about by the Mutation Factor. In the terms of this world, it seems to be called a Yuan Su specialization, where the flawless Yuan Su entering a persons body becomes the exclusive Yuan Su of that Transcendent. In his real life, he couldnt do this because theres no such thing as flawless Yuan Su. As the temperature increased, the situation under the blankets became like a sauna, and within four or five minutes, there were signs of movement from the people inside. Luo Xi had about seven minutes left of his synchronized time. The first to climb out of the blankets was surprisingly Luweiya with her gray hair. Her black eyes first swept around cautiously, paused when they landed on Luo Xi, and then, recalling something, she exclaimed in astonishment, "The snow disaster is gone?" Luo Xi shook his head and said, "It probably hasnt disappeared, but the snow disaster shouldnt come again today." He said it has not disappeared as his legendary-level quest about the snow disaster had not yet been settled. It wouldnt come again today because he had already been through it. "How do you know..." Before Luweiya could finish her question, Lena also woke up. As she crawled out of the blanket, her beautiful golden hair was drenched with sweat, and her clothes, also wet, clung to her body, outlining an exquisite figure. Lena and Luweiya exchanged glances. They looked down at their own bodies, then at Luo Xi, who had an innocent face. [Ding! Lenas Anger Value +30] [Ding! Luweiyas Anger Value +29] Luo Xi blinked. He couldnt see any specific details on the womens bodies. Could there be something tantalizing? Let me take a look... However, after their Anger Values appeared, Luo Xi didnt dare to peek any longer. He said he didnt see the details, but would others believe that? Perhaps a big slap would come flying his way. Not everyone is as compliant and adorable as Aina or seemingly haughty but good-tempered like Weier.

Is it because theyre light and easy to knock over and quick to deceive? Arent you just a proper suspect pervert here?] Luo Xi: "..." For some reason, Luo Xi found himself unable to refute the Damn Text this time. If Aina and Weier were replaced with these two mature women in front of him, even if they also had tails and ears, granting Luo Xi ten times the boldness, he doubted he would dare to go up and pet them. Shopkeeper Lena got off the bed, casually grabbed a blanket from the cupboard to wrap around herself, and threw another blanket to Luweiya. "Well just have to make do with this for now." After getting up, Lena didnt go to ask Luo Xi; instead, she walked straight to the window and opened a part of it. Thus, the appearance of the Winter Divine Tree, clad in a white vest and speckled with snowflakes against the gray-black night sky, suddenly came into view, and, beyond the silver radiance of the protective barriers, the outer layer of golden barriers had disappeared! What an opportunity! Three words instantly popped into Lenas mind, and she turned her head and immediately said, "Luo Xi, take Weier and Aina with you and hurry to leave now..." Luo Xi shook his head, raised his hand to interrupt Shopkeeper Lena, and said, "Its useless. Rat King Noss has the staff that Weiers mother used back then. Even if we leave Winter City, he could easily find us and capture Weier, unless I abandon Weier and only take Aina, none of us have any hope of escaping." Lenas voice paused, confused, she asked, "How do you know this?" Luo Xi: "...Weiers mother told me." "Hmm... I understand now." Lena didnt question further; after all, the hat with Teacher Liyas projection was still on Luo Xis head. She propped her chin with her hands, muttering to herself, "So the plan to send you away from Winter City wont work. We can only think of a way to defeat that Rat King or find Teacher Liya... Can you still summon Teacher Liya now?" Lena looked at Luo Xi with hopeful eyes, focusing on the hat on his head. Luo Xi inwardly sighed. Shopkeeper Lena really did have it rough. Even if it was just Liyas illusion, she didnt get to talk for more than a moment. Luo Xi said, "The blizzard seems to have affected Lady Liya quite a bit. She cant appear for the time being." Shopkeeper Lena nodded in disappointment. Luweiya wrapped herself in a blanket, took out a small clock from her pocket and glanced at it; her face immediately filled with shock as she exclaimed, "Has it already been more than a day? I thought Id only been frozen till evening." "What?!" Shopkeeper Lena was also full of astonishment. Luweiya said with a grave face, "If its been over a day, then tomorrow is Festival Day... The Divine Tree Festival, which happens once every three years, is always held around one or two in the morning. We dont have much time left! I still dont know what those people are planning to do, but we cant stay here anymore." Luo Xi seemed to understand why Shopkeeper Lena was so eager to have them leave last time. "Well, Im heading out first. If fate allows, well meet again in the rivers and lakes, ha." Luweiya waved at Luo Xi and Lena and then dived out of the window, disappearing into the night. Luo Xi: "..." Lena: "..." They had no way to stop someone who was trying to run. Now that there was no golden radiance shrouding the city walls, if someone just wanted to get out, they would surely have their own methods even without relying on Weiers abilities. "Cough" Suddenly, a few soft coughs came from beneath the blankets. Luo Xi lifted the blankets. The rabbit-eared mother and daughter and Chu Tian all showed signs of waking. But these were not the immediate concerns. Although Chu Tian was a player and could resurrect, he was just an ordinary person with some talent right now, and the role he could play was quite limited. emmmm... Perhaps he could be used as cannon fodder to draw the enemys attention? Lena asked softly, "What are you going to do next? Do you need my help?" Luo Xi was startled. Was Shopkeeper Lena consulting with him? After thinking for a moment, Luo Xi said, "I want to find the young City Owner once more." Lena thoughtfully said, "Do you mean Hill Sheffield?" "Yes." Luo Xi nodded and asked, "Do you know any stories about Hill, Shopkeeper? Anything related to him will do." Lena frowned and replied, "Im not too sure, he took office after the old City Owner disappeared three years ago. There are very few stories about him in the market, and he hasnt been the one managing the Mansion of the City Lord in these years." "Is it that Mazar?" "Thats right, the current First Chancellor. All I know is that hes a capable person." Luo Xi narrowed his eyes. That guy was really good at hiding. Liya had previously mentioned that he might be someone from the Church of Truth. "Hmm..." Suddenly, the rabbit-eared Lolita, Little Winnie, sat up rubbing her eyes. Seeing her mother still unconscious beside her, she immediately crawled over, shaking her mother and calling out in concern, "Mom!" Luo Xi comforted, "Dont worry, Winnie. Your mother will wake up soon." Winnie turned her head to look at Luo Xi. "Brother..." Following that, the rabbit-eared Lolita threw herself into Luo Xis arms. Compared to the strange uncle who had always been trying to please her mother these past few days, she liked this brother better. Luo Xi took off his hat and gently stroked Winnies hair. He couldnt help but be emotional. The children in this world found it so difficult to have a normal childhood. In the real world, girls of this age would surely still be the apple of their parents eyes, never allowed to wander more than a hundred meters from them. Squeak At that moment, the door to the room was opened from the outside. Aina tiptoed in and whispered, "Brother Luo Xi, I can walk now. What are you doing...?" When she caught sight of the two on the bed, the light in the little wolf girls eyes dimmed immediately, losing the golden gleam. "..." Luo Xi: "..." For some reason, he felt as if he saw a vision of a wolf-eared Lolita with a firewood knife standing at his bedside in the middle of the night, watching him sleep. [System: So say, a firewood knifes path is your destiny, huh, garbage Traveler~] Chapter 178 - 155 Aina Wants to Stay with Her Brother Forever ~ (Holding a Machete) _1 Chapter 178: Chapter 155 Aina Wants to Stay with Her Brother Forever ~ (Holding a Machete) _1Luo Xi, who was petting Little Bunny Winnies fluffy rabbit ears, suddenly froze in his action. He turned his head with a startled expression. Aina was leaning by the doorway, tilting her head as she stared at him, motionless. Although Luo Xis vision wasnt very clear at the moment, he could still feel that Ainas beautiful tea-gold eyes seemed to have lost their luster. Luo Xi inexplicably felt a hint of panic in his heart. [Note: Ainas Yandere value +1000!] What the hell? 1000 Yandere value? Then Luo Xi realized it was a [Note] Fxxk! Damn text, dont pretend to be normal text and scare me! Luo Xi put down his hand and asked with feigned calmness, "Wheres your sister Aina? Have you both recovered already?" "Weier sister went to the bathroom area, and Aina just thought of coming over to see what brother was doing," Aina said softly, closing the door and sitting beside Luo Xi, glancing at Little Bunny Winnie, who was much younger than herself. The Little Wolf Girl lowered her head and said sadly, "Brother Luo Xi, do the mutated features of this child feel good to touch? Are they even more comfortable than Ainas?" Luo Xi replied without hesitation, "Of course, Ainas tail is still the most comfortable." [Note: Garbage Traveler, youre really good at pleasing simple girls! Take him away!] What the hell! Im just telling the truth, cant that be right anymore? Aina said with a low voice filled with grievance, "Then why does Brother Luo Xi have to touch someone elses mutated features? Is Aina not enough for you to touch? How about I tie up Weier sister and let you touch her as much as you want?" Luo Xi: "..." If Cat Cat knew what you said, shed probably be mad enough to explode. Luo Xi sighed softly. He patted Ainas head and petted her twice. The Little Wolf Girl turned her head away in a huff, refusing to let Luo Xi pet her any longer. Luo Xi was somewhat helpless. It seems that lately, he had indeed gone a bit too far. But what could he do? He had intended to let himself go and then rewind time. However, due to an unfortunate mishap, time couldnt be rewound, and Ainas high post-Transcendence Favorability also couldnt be reset. Luo Xi chuckled softly, "Aina, why dont you first carefully observe the situation here?" Upon hearing this, Aina took a careful look at the two people still asleep on the bed, noticing the phenomenon where their bodies were soaked with a large amount of sweat, and Little Bunny Winnies body also had similar damp traces. The Little Wolf Girl suddenly realized something. The others were just like her and her sister, frozen by something. So Brother Luo Xi was here to save people. In that case, it meant that Brother Luo Xi had first woken her and Weier sister! "Yes, Aina understands!" Aina nodded vigorously. [Ding! Ainas Favorability +15] Luo Xi: "..." Could it stop increasing? The higher the Favorability goes, the scarier it gets! Winnie listened on with a puzzled expression. The young girl didnt understand much and had no idea what this big sister was thinking. Shopkeeper Lena looked somewhat muddled. As an adult, she could obviously deduce what Aina was thinkingjealous of Luo Xi petting Winnies head. But she found it quite preposterous. Why did Teacher Liyas little daughter have such high Favorability towards this young man? You should know, she and Teacher Liya had some connections, but ever since Aina came here, she often kept her at a distance. And this Luo Xi? As Weier said, they had only known each other for about a week, right? Lena really couldnt understand. However, the Projection that Teacher Liya left behind had recognized him, so he must have many extraordinary qualities. This was the reason she was seeking to discuss with Luo Xi at the moment. "Hahayour lord will take the stage again!" Suddenly, Chu Tian sprang out from the blanket, and as everyone in the room looked on with puzzled eyes, his legs went soft and he didnt stand steady, falling straight from the bed and then staying motionless, not known what he hit. Luo Xi: "..." He checked his remaining synchronization time. [2 minutes and 20 seconds]. This synchronization was almost at its end. "Shopkeeper Lena, lets go next door to discuss with Weier together." Luo Xi put Little Winnie back under the blanket and asked her to take care of her still unconscious mother before picking up Aina, as the Little Wolf Girl was still somewhat unsteady on her feet. Although he didnt plan to leave the city this time, time was still quite tight; he had to do enough in the limited time available. That way, if he had to rewind again, he could take a lot of known information back with him. In Luo Xis arms, Aina rubbed her little face against his chest, and her wolf tail that dangled down began to wag joyfully. Humph~ [Ding! Ainas favorability towards you +5] Luo Xi: "..." The favorability increased again. By the way, how did he manage to win over this wolf-eared loli? Luo Xi could hardly remember now. "Okay." Lena nodded and followed Luo Xi out the door. At that moment, Chu Tians voice rang out as he propped himself up using the bed. "Hold on! Brother Luo, whats the situation now? This damn freezing state locked me out for two days. I havent fallen behind in the update, have I?" Luo Xi stopped and turned around to speak, "The situation isnt great. How about you try borrowing some money from Shopkeeper Lena and attempt to achieve Transcendence to become a sublimated person?" Chu Tian: "..." Sublimation materials for Tier Zero alone would cost several hundred gold coins. Where would he get that much money unless he went to the gambling den for a few more all-in wins. Lena shook her head and said, "Its not that I dont want to lend him money, but every pathway to Sublimation matches differently with each individual. Different people taking the same path could end up with vastly differing strengths. Moreover, the ability to obtain the formula and Omen for that pathway later on is also a critical consideration. To Sublimate carelessly could mean being stuck at a low tier forever." "Most importantly, a Tier Zero sublimated person wouldnt be able to change much in our current circumstances." Chu Tian smiled indifferently, "Then I just wont Sublimate. Im not in a hurry anyway. Remember to call me if you guys are taking any action. Im pretty much recovered now... and Im not afraid of dying once or twice." As he spoke, Chu Tian lowered his head to look at the little bunny who was hugging her mother on the bed and said with a sly grin, "Little Winnie, has your mom woken up?" The rabbit-eared lolita hugged her mother and shrank a little further into the blanket. Wuu, this uncle is so weird. Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. He had been trying to please her mom for the past few days. Hes not thinking of becoming her dad, is he? Although this uncle seemed nice, she preferred that big brother. Winnie glanced over at Luo Xi. If only that big brother could be her dad... Then, Aina looked over with a smile, the expression on the little wolf girls face was very amiable. Winnie: "(n?)!" She felt like she was about to be killed! The rabbit-eared lolita quietly buried her head into the blanket. Not daring to look anymore. Luo Xi turned back and looked deeply at Chu Tian. This Cao Zei, if he had the chance, could probably be a friend in real life. Aina turned her head back and whispered softly, "Brother, youll stay with Aina in the future, okay? Dont forget what Brother Luo Xi and Aina said." Luo Xi: "..." Something was off about this wolf-eared lolita! Very off! He felt he was indeed getting closer and closer to the path of the hatchet. [Note: Garbage Traveler, why not go all out and become a true master of conqueror, take down this wolf-eared lolita!] Then hed be the one taken down by the censorship beast! [Ding! This synchronization has ended.] [Traveler, see you next time~] Following the texts prompt, Luo Xis consciousness returned from the Dream world to reality. The text was still displaying. [Traveler, you were holding Aina as you returned to Weiers room, and Shopkeeper Lena followed too, leaving only Chu Tian to look after the rabbit-eared mother and daughter. Though hes a Cao Zei, youre fairly confident in his character.] [Weier just came out of the bathroom and saw you holding her little sister, her small fist clenched instantly.] [Traveler, you couldnt help but chuckle inwardly.] [Silly Cat Cat, your sisters ready to tie you up for me to pet, truly sisterly love~] [Note: Garbage Traveler, youre quite smug, huh? But before you do that, watch out for Big Cat Cat, mother-in-law is watching you~] Luo Xi: "..." [Traveler, you put Aina back on the bed, then casually sat down without deliberately petting Aina to provoke Cat Cat.] [Now is the time to formally discuss the next course of action.] [Traveler, you voiced the idea of going to see that little City Owner.] [Weier agreed and then shook her head, "Sister Lena, lets go to the Mansion of the City Lord together. Luo Xi and I have already been there once before, and this time we should be faster. Hill should be on our side, and if it really doesnt work out, the workshop left by mom might hold them off for a while, then well all go in first."] [Traveler, you were somewhat surprised.] [Did Weier mean all of you should go to the Mansion of the City Lord? Together to that workshop?] [You glanced at Aina, the Cute Wolf, who was listening seriously to your conversation, and then at Weier, who was very earnest.] [Traveler, you realized something.] [Was Weier worried that if she continued to be absent, those men from Rat Kings gang might desperately target Aina? So, was she planning to hide Aina in Teacher Liyas workshop for protection?] [And Cat Cat herself had no intention to hide in the workshop. After all, Teacher Liyas Projection had said that if it really came to it, the workshops runic seals wouldnt stop those men.] [Then, what was her true intention, was it to exchange her own life for everyone elses safety?] ["Weier, are you thinking..."] [Traveler, your lips moved, and you wanted to say something when a soft and fluffy thing landed on your hand.] [You looked down to find it was Cat Cats tail!] [Cat Cat had actually offered you her tail voluntarily!] [Was this... bribery?] Chapter 179 - 156 - The Tail of the Cat-eared Girl is not pet, not pet - Lu Xun_1 Chapter 179: Chapter 156 - The Tail of the Cat-eared Girl is not pet, not pet - Lu Xun_1[Weier glanced at you, the corners of her mouth twitching slightly.] [The cats meaning was clear, she was telling you not to just say anything, affirming her tail could give you a pet as hush money.] [Damn it, are you really that kind of person?] [Just for a tail, to silence you, to stop your gossip, thats impossible, unless...] [Note: Unless its the tail of a cat-eared Lolita~] [Traveler, you nonchalantly grabbed the cat tail in your hand, gently squeezed it, feeling the familiar, fluffy softness.] [Mr. Lu Xun once said a tail that comes your way, not to pet it is to waste it.] [Ding! Your Happiness Level +20] [Note: Damn Traveler, that tail is so delightful! You really are an honest gentleman~ But since when did Mr. Lu Xun ever say that? Dont just attribute any damn rhetoric to Mr. Lu Xun!] Luo Xi: "..." This feels somewhat absurd. The cat actually offered her tail for him to play with willingly? Although he had petted it before, he mostly did it sneakily, or as compensation when the cat felt a bit guilty toward himlike after he died and resurrected. After all, how could a tsundere cat-eared girl casually let someone touch her tail? [Traveler, you gently rubbed the tail you were holding.] [Since you were sitting on the bedspread right now, with your left hand propped behind you, Shopkeeper Lena stood in front of you, she couldnt see the little movements behind you, you noticed the cat girls pretty face getting a bit redder.] [Ding! Your Happiness Level +10] [Note: Damn Traveler, now you can stage a scene of wantonly teasing the cat girl right in front of an acquaintance, just dont forget, behind you, theres a cute Cute Wolf watching~] Tease my head, damn text, why dont you give me a high-definition temporary sync so I can experience it firsthand? The damn text this time did not respond to Luo Xis request. Luo Xi didnt want to waste his Immersion talent carelessly. That thing only lasts ten minutes; it should not be used here. The text continued to unfold. [Weier said, "If Sister Lena agrees, we can start immediately, Luo Xi and I will go find Little Xier. It seems like Hiss has the ability to teleport at will within the Inner City. Later on, I want to ask him to send us directly to my moms old workshop, Mom once said, that workshop could fend off a Tier Four Transcendent."] [Shopkeeper Lena remained silent.] [She looked at you, the Traveler, as if asking for your opinion.] [Traveler, you pondered, still rubbing the cat tail in your hand, then gently nodded.] [This might not be your last trip back in time, what you know now is only related to the Rat King, your knowledge about the Mansion of the City Lord is very limited, so let Weier do what she wants, anyway, you will accompany this silly cat, wont you?] [Note: Damn Traveler, you seem quite spirited right now~] Luo Xi smiled slightly. Didnt expect the damn text to give compliments too. But that indeed was what he was thinking. No matter what Weier wanted to do, he intended to follow and witness the unfolding events in Winter City with his own eyes. Of course, he also had to avoid Rat King Nos, not knowing when he might come to catch the cat girl. That guy seemed hellbent on killing him on sight, making things quite difficult. If little Hill could break free from control and become their sides strength, maybe they could suppress that stinky old rat. Thinking of this, Luo Xis heart stirred. Now, in Winter City, regarding this Divine Tree Festival, how many forces were involved? The first was the Snake and Rat Meeting headed by Rat King Nos, though it seemed that the members of the Snake and Rat Meeting had been thrown into the Variant settlement. After the snow calamity, he didnt know what became of the Variant areas. Luo Xi still remembered having triggered a phase mission called Redemption once. But even saving two beast-eared Lolitas was too hard, let alone saving more people. The second was the force of Hills adoptive father controlled by the Mansion of the City Lord through some means, likely the Church of Truth, which had taken Weier away in a piece of history he had reversed. The third party was their group of struggling individuals. Was it just these three sides? No, there were others, such as the high magistrate Delkus, who might have also been involved, though he likely joined one of the sides. And there was the enigmatic Winter Legion. Their opponents were old coins hidden for who knows how many years. On their side, the strongest in terms of raw power was Lena, a Second-tier Skill Practioner who specialized in producing scrolls but wasnt good at fighting. Damn, could he get some powerful allies? [Note: Damn Traveler, if things get too tough, you can shout out loudly, Mother-in-law, save me!] But thats only if the mother-in-law was actually there! Right now, the rune projection in the hat was still on mute. Luo Xi rubbed his temples. Better not to think too much for now, just take it one step at a time, after all, the SL strategy is his biggest confidence. [Lena thought for a moment, then said, "Then lets do as you both suggest, but you must be careful with your safety."] [Weier nodded and said, "Luo Xi and I need to discuss a bit more."] [Traveler, you stopped petting the cat tail, and Weier also promptly withdrew her tail, stood up, and looked at you with a slightly reddened face.] [Ding! Your Proficiency +10 (pet)] [Ding! Weiers Embarrassment Value +10] [Ding! Your Confusion Value +10] [What else does Weier want to discuss with you?] [If its just about finding Xier, isnt it enough to follow the path you took last time, avoiding the guards?] [After the impact of the snow calamity, how many guards can still be on normal patrol?] [You arrived at the room next door.] [Traveler, you asked in confusion, "Whats the matter?"] [Weier looked at you, hesitating for a long time before asking, "Pervert... Luo Xi, can you really not die?"] Luo Xi: "..." Indeed, even after witnessing his death and return, the miracle of resurrection was hard to believe. [Traveler, you said confidently, "I wont."] ["Then, can you help me..."] [Traveler, you said without hesitation, "I can."] [Ding! Weiers favorability towards you +10] [Cat Cat looked at you with a puzzled expression, lifted her head, snow-colored hair falling from her shoulder, and asked softly, "Arent you going to ask me what I need help with? You just agreed like that?"] [Traveler, you reached out and moved your hand towards the girls head.] [The girl seemed to think you were going to touch her ears again, but she didnt move away.] [Traveler, you flicked Weiers forehead with your finger and then quickly retracted your hand.] [Weier held her head (ߣ) looking at you and whined, "Ow, what was that for?"] [Traveler, you said helplessly, "Come on, tell me what you need me to do. Now seems to be the best time, lets hurry up and get going."] [Weier lowered her hands and said in a low voice, "I was thinking you could help me check out the situation at the Divine Tree later. With Hills assistance, we might be able to get close to the Divine Tree, but there will definitely be a lot of people guarding it."] [Traveler, you said, "Hmm, I got it."] [Weier: "..."] [Ding! Weiers favorability towards you +5] [Traveler, you started your action.] [You and Weier comforted Aina, put on enough thick clothes, and the two of you left the inn and embarked on the road to the Mansion of the City Lord.] [In the cold wind, you and the girl beside you didnt speak again, simply advancing towards the location of the Divine Tree, getting closer and closer to the Mansion of the City Lord.] [You are on your way...] .... Nos sensed the information coming from those still living rats in his mind. Weiers location moved? Based on this trajectory of movement... have they gone to the Mansion of the City Lord again? Are they still not giving up? Nos smirked disdainfully. He could guess what the child wanted to do without much thought. She must be looking for clues about her mother, Liya. But Liya had long since died, just like old Hiss; inside the Winter Divine Tree, there was no space for anyone to live. It was all Liyas damn fault for what she did to herself. After obtaining the True Canon, not only did she not leave, but she also turned around and set a spell seal. Liya couldnt possibly still be alive. What she left behind was only the spell seal near the Divine Tree, comparable to the strength of a Tier Five. However, the exterior barrier of Winter City had disappeared, so why didnt Weier and the others leave? Do they really think they can bring Liya back? Nos almost thought he would need to chase them out of the city. Forget it, since their target was the Mansion of the City Lord, he wasnt in a hurry. With the two keys related to Liyas seal in his possession, the staff in his hands, even if Weier fell into Mazars grasp, without this Lost Yuan Qi C Echo of Azure, it would be impossible to reverse the seal set by Liya back then. In the end, they would still need him to take action. Its just that this little City Owner is a bit troublesome. Could Mazar really control the keeper of the power of the Divine Tree? Even if its just a child with a fraction of the power, if theres a problem and backlash occurs... ... [Traveler, you arrived within the bounds of the Mansion of the City Lord, just as you expected, most of the guards on the road had disappeared, and many people were buried in the snow.] [From here, you could see the distant Divine Tree continuously shaking off the snow from its body, and after the snow is shaken off, perhaps the first layer of the golden barrier will return.] [Just as you and Weier were contemplating how to enter the Mansion of the City Lord again, a childish voice sounded.] ["You two... are you here to find me?"] sea??h th N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Suddenly, a young boy appeared in front of you and Weier.] [The boy was Hill, smiling at the two of you, holding a cube-like toy in his hands, his nimble fingers constantly twisting the cube.] [Traveler, you asked, "Do you still recognize us?"] [Hill nodded, "I recognize you, you two are my friends, its written in my notes, and I remember your scents."] Luo Xi: "..." Why did he feel like he was deceiving a child? But, they should be friends, right? [Traveler, you informed Hill of your purpose, and he quickly agreed. He sent you back near the inn and handed the cube to you, saying that once your party was assembled, by twisting the cube, he would teleport anyone within a five-meter radius of the cube to him.] Luo Xi: "." Had he known before, he should have asked Hill for something like this. Then it wouldnt have been so troublesome to run back and forth. [Note: Its a pity the child isnt a little Lolita, otherwise he would be a new wife for you, you damn Traveler, wouldnt he~] Im not that perverted, okay! Chapter 180 - 157: The Garbage Traveler Who Likes Bitterness is Going to be Beaten by Cat Cat~_1 Chapter 180: Chapter 157: The Garbage Traveler Who Likes Bitterness is Going to be Beaten by Cat Cat~_1[Traveler, you returned to the inn and gathered everyone inside...] [After rotating the magic cube in your hand, a magnificent blue inscription appeared, instantly enveloping your bodies. Delicate branches and leaves grew from the cube, wrapping around all of you.] [After a bout of dizziness, Traveler, you found yourself in a familiar place.] [It was the corridor outside Liyas workshop, located on the third floor of the Mansion of the City Lord, deserted all around.] [A young boy stood in front of you, silently watching.] [Chu Tian looked around, his eyes brightening, just as he was about to speak, Shopkeeper Lena decisively pulled out some sort of scroll and slapped it on his face, and then Chu Tian couldnt make any sound.] [Chu Tians frantically waving his hands at his mouth, the expression of terror on his face made you really want to laugh.] Luo Xi: "..." Wow, even strange things like mute scrolls exist. Can Skill Practitioners Sublimated create any sort of scroll? Dont they have a creative bottleneck? So, are there even weirder scrolls? I wonder if Ill ever have the chance to become a Skill Practitioner... [Note: "Garbage Traveler," are you referring to perverted scrolls? Of course there are, but only Creation Series Skill Practitioners are the best at drawing scrolls, other practitioners are just average. Actually, "garbage Traveler," youre already on the path of a Skill Practitioner~] Luo Xi: "!" Damn, these kinds of scrolls really exist? Come to think of it, Creation Series Skill Practitioners... is that a classification of Skill Practitioners with different methods? The descriptions in the rune scrolls left by Liya also said that only Creation Series Skill Practitioners could draw them. And when did I start on the path of a Skill Practitioner? Luo Xi was somewhat curious. [Note: Garbage Traveler, think about it, what kind of Skill Practitioner might you be after conquering the beast-eared Lolita?] Luo Xi: "(Damn it)." That damned text never says anything good. He shifted his focus back. It was already 8:30 in the evening, and Luo Xi had a premonition that those hidden demons and monsters might not stay hidden for long. Next, he needed to figure out how to get Hill to join them as an ally. Only then would there be a possibility of contending against the Rat King and the other forces in the city. [Afterward, Weier used her ability to lead all of you into the workshop. The lights in the workshop lit up one by one as you entered.] ["Is this where my teacher used to work?"] [Shopkeeper Lena was quickly captivated by the variety of books and equipment in the workshop.] [Ainas expression first showed some joy, then turned somewhat sorrowful as she looked around.] [The traces and scents left by her mother were everywhere.] [But her figure was nowhere to be seen.] [Hill remained silent. After entering the workshop, he took his notebook and quietly flipped through it.] [Traveler, you were somewhat eager to know what Hill, who hadnt been affected by the snow disaster, had been doing during the past day and a half.] [And what was he thinking now?] [Weier glanced at you.] [Traveler, you know the meaning of Cat Cat.] [You released the steel puppet from your knapsack again.] ["Protect them."] [Weier issued this command to the puppet.] [Then, Weier took you and Hill and, while the others werent paying attention, disregarded Ainas calls and left the workshop using her ability to pass through walls.] [Outside, the young boy asked you, "Is there something else you need me to do?"] [Weier hesitated for a moment before asking in a deep tone, "Hill, can you stop tomorrows Divine Tree Festival?"] ["That one? No, I cant."] [Hill shook his head: "Im not in charge of that. And I dont want to stop it either."] [Weier was taken aback: "Why?"] [The boy spoke softly, "Because I want to find my father. Arent you the same? Daughter of Aunt Liya, if you want to find your aunt, if the festival is stopped now, then maybe youll never have a chance again. The once every three years festival is a rule from the Eternal World Tree Noah. Its not possible to simply start at will, do you want to give up?"] [Weier: "..."] [Hills smile was somewhat lonely, then it hardened.] [Suddenly he looked up at Weier and you: "Im sorry, my friends, but I cant refuse the task that my foster father has given me. Please hang in there a bit longer."] Luo Xi: "?" Fxxk, its that foster father again. Havent you realized somethings wrong, Hill? [Traveler, you noticed countless branches stretching out from the boys eyes. Realizing that something was amiss, you immediately grabbed Weiers hand, intending to have her use her power to go through the floor with you.] [Weier, pale faced, said, "My powers have been sealed..."] Luo Xi: "..." Things had taken a turn for the worse. He thought that this young City Owner, at least, would be somewhat negotiable and could be persuaded to join as a fighter. But it turned out the child was still so obedient to that person. [With the flickering of lights, Traveler, you felt dizzy once again.] [Upon opening your eyes again, you found yourself in a darkened room, where almost nothing could be seen, even with your current eyesight, though it was much better than the situation in Liyas workshop where vision and hearing had been stripped away.] [Weier was at your side, her body limp, unresponsive to your pushing, seemingly unconscious. It was unknown whether the recent power inhibition had affected her.] [Ding! Unlocked area: Winter Prison] [Winter Prison: A place near the Divine Tree that suppresses all fluctuations of Yuan Su, turning even the most vicious criminals into no more than wild dogs, powerless to use any abilities.] [Ding! Traveler, you have triggered a temporary dream sync (???). Do you want to use it?] [Traveler, you are somewhat shocked.] [Winter Prison? The power of the Divine Tree? Is this place... near the Divine Tree?] [Squeak] [The heavy iron door was opened a crack, and warm light shone in.] [You heard a mans voice laughing wildly, but you couldnt see his figure: "Hahahaha, Noss, you were careless. Keeping that key within reach but allowing her to run wild into my territory! What were you thinking? You know that Hill is most loyal to me. What do you have to compete against me?"] ["Hm? Who is this person? Didnt I tell Hill to just bring the little cat over, and kill anyone else who interferes... Never mind, the little cat is already here. I didnt get my hands on her last time, but in the end, she still fell into my grasp. Noss, you have unwittingly spent three years preparing a wedding dress for me, haha!"] [This mans tone sounded very happy.] Sarch* The n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Squeak] [The door was closed again; he didnt seem too concerned about you?] [Traveler, you tried to stand up but felt something hard by your right hand.] [You touched it with your hand and discovered it seemed to be something like a bone. In your extremely weak vision, you recognized it was a human skull!] [Ding! Your Fear Value +5.] [Traveler, you hastily threw the thing away.] Luo Xi: "..." His courage must have grown, right? If it had been him before, touching such a thing would have definitely terrified him. [Ding! Do you want to use temporary dream sync? (Not using will cancel in 1 minute.)] Luo Xi glanced at the countdown of the text. The sync time is still ???. Is it because this Winter Prison, like Aunt Liyas workshop, is some kind of high-tier skill like a barrier? Then, he chose yes. Sync time without limit was quite nice for the current situation. ... /// Luo Xi blinked several times and covered his nose. Surrounding him was a continuous assault of foul, rotting, and moldy smells entering his nostrils. How long had this place gone without cleaning? Subsequently, Luo Xi felt a heavy pressure on his body. He felt the Yuan Su inside him had settled into silence. Unable to use Yuan Su? This also meant that the abilities of Weier and his were unusable here. Speaking of Hill, did that child tell that Mazar everything that had happened with them? Hill shouldve already known his foster father was not right. Why would he still do this? Luo Xi narrowed his eyes slightly. That child was not a fool. Instead, his experiences over the years had made him much more mature than many others his age, much like Cat Cat. Luo Xi had a thought. If bringing himself and Weier here wasnt his real intention, but rather an act of deception... Of course, Luo Xi was just speculating. After all, it was possible that Hill completely regarded that man as his foster father, completely brainwashed, and that would be the worst outcome. One had to personally witness to the end to know the outcome. Luo Xi reached toward his left. Soon, he touched the soft and fluffy body of Cat Cat. [Note: Regardless of the situation, a Traveler who takes advantage is really garbage, huh? Youre really asking for it] Damn, it was an accident, wasnt it?! Luo Xi gave Cat Cats face a pat. "Weier, wake up." However, Weier still did not respond, so Luo Xi had to lift her and place her in front of himself. He traced the features of her face upward, thumb pressing on her philtrum, the other four fingers resting under her chin, and gently began to massage it. He had seen on television that one could wake a person who had fainted by pressing on the philtrum. [Note: Trash Traveler, why arent you waking her up by groping her chest this time?] Thats a perverted act! And groping someones chest doesnt wake them up, does it? Suddenly, Weier let out a light hum, and her body began to stir, clearly about to wake up. "Weier, you" Just as Luo Xi was about to speak, a small fist landed on his face, and Weier held nothing back this time. As a Mutant Patient, even though she couldnt use Yuan Su, the strength gained from the invasion of the Mutant Factor would not change much. Thus, completely unprepared, Luo Xi was sent flying by the punch, his head spinning. This Cat Cat punch packed a punch! [Ding! Traveler, your life has decreased by 1%.] After throwing the punch, Weier realized she might have hit the wrong person and panicked: "Luo Xi, are you okay? I punched reflexively because I felt someone was secretly touching me there..." [Note: That was quite a powerful punch! Cheers!] Chapter 181 - 158: Aina is entrusted to you, the pervert. Don’t bully her in the future_1 Chapter 181: Chapter 158: Aina is entrusted to you, the pervert. Dont bully her in the future_1The cat-eared girls heavy punch hit Luo Xis head, leaving him dizzy and with a large amount of some unknown fluid gushing from his nose. Luo Xi o(xnx)o clutched his nose. It hurts so much! A sweet and fishy liquid backflowed into his throat. He actually had a nosebleed after such a long time. With Luo Xis current physique, even a 1% drop in Life Value was enough to indicate how heavy Weiers punch was. Weier quickly followed the direction of her punch. In the darkness, the girl frantically reached out to touch Luo Xis face, stuttering, "I really didnt mean it, I didnt know it was you just now, otherwise I wouldnt have hit so hard, ah! So much liquid... these arent all blood, are they... Im so sorry." [Ding! Weiers Guilt Value towards you +20] [Note: Garbage Traveler, the Cat Cat is feeling very guilty about you right now, why not take advantage of this and make some lecherous requests?] Who still has the mood to think about such lecherous things now! Luo Xi took Weiers hand from his face and said, "Its okay, its just a nosebleed. Stop touching it, its dirty when the blood gets on your hands." "...Hmm." [Ding! Weiers Favorability towards you +3] Luo Xi: "..." The favour of this tsundere cat-eared girl could always be raised by these little incidents. After a while, Weiers puzzled voice came from ahead, "Where are we? Did Hill teleport us here? It feels a bit like Moms workshop." Vision was almost entirely stripped away, but hearing was still normal, and the Yuan Su within was being suppressed. "Thats right." Luo Xi said, "The kid had taken control of you and then teleported us straight here; it seems like this place is called Winter Prison." "A prison...?" Weier said anxiously, "Could he have done the same to Aina and Sister Laina...?" "I think theres no need to worry about that." Luo Xi said softly, "Did you notice that if Hill just wanted to throw us here, he didnt need to make such a big detour and wait for us to bring the person back; he could have done it long ago." Weier thoughtfully said, "Thats true, and also, when that kid sent us here, he said he couldnt refuse that adoptive father yet, asking us to hang on a bit longer. Does he have his own plan?" Luo Xi laughed, "Very likely, after all, the effects of the snow disaster seem to have no effect on him. We can think positively; maybe hes already freed himself from the control of that adoptive father? Maybe hes preparing to deal a big blow to that old bastard?" Weier laughed too, "Youre quite optimistic, pervert." "Were in this state; might as well not be so pessimistic that we wish for death instead, right? And stop calling me a pervert." Luo Xi still held great hope for that child, Hill; the child was their only chance at gaining a high-level force. "Lets check out the situation here first." Luo Xi tried to stand up, his hands propped on the ground, but as he touched something fragile like bones, he crushed it and sat back down again. Instantly, a lot of dust-like substances were kicked up. Dust? Luo Xi held his breath. Fxxk, these couldnt all be bone ash, right? "Ill help you up." Weier came over and helped Luo Xi up. Then, the two began to fumble around in the pitch-dark room, but since they couldnt see anything, they soon got separated. "Where are you, pervert?" "Im here." Whack Hearing the sound, Weier wanted to move toward it, but she bumped her head against something along the way. She reached up to touch it and realized it seemed to be a pair of hanging dead feet, swaying unsteadily. Weier: (n?)! The girls body started shaking involuntarily. She had seen dead bodies before, as a resident of Grey Stone Street, it was quite the opposite; she saw people freeze or starve to death every year. But in this dark place, with a rotting corpse hanging in front, it was terrifying just thinking about it! Luo Xi waited a moment and, not hearing Cat Cat following, assumed she had gone in another direction and decided to leave her be for now. A few minutes later, Luo Xi had measured the size of the entire pitch-black room with his steps. This small room was about 25m x 25m, with many brittle, crunchy, unidentified objects that were stepped on. Probably they were the skeletal remains of dead bodies. Judging by the smell, they seemed to have rotted a long time ago, which suggested the place hadnt been used in a while. Luo Xi then came to the location of the door that had been opened earlier. He tried to hit it with all his strength, but the door wouldnt budge. At that moment, Luo Xi felt something tug on his clothes. "Luo Xi, can I hold onto you?" Weiers voice trembled slightly as she said, "It seems there are corpses everywhere, its all bodies, and Im a bit scared..." Luo Xi: "..." Well, crap. In his mind, Cat Cat wasnt a girl who would be scared of corpses. Or was that just his stereotype of her? Luo Xi thought for a moment, then turned around and took Cat Cats little hand that was pulling on his clothes. Weiers small hand hesitated at first, seemingly wanting to pull away, but eventually stopped, letting Luo Xi take it firmly in his own. The warmth transmitted through physical contact was so distinct in this dark environment. The girls slender little hand, when held, felt as if there were no bones in it, delicate enough to evoke pity. The sweet scent emanating from Cat Cat also slightly cleared the murky air of the place. [Ding! Your Happiness Level +15] [Note: Garbage Traveler, heres a secret for you, Cat Cat is now under your control and not likely to fight back, maybe you can try something lecherous ~] Who would want to get lecherous in this ghostly place filled with dead bodies? Damn Text, your sexual inclination is too weird! Luo Xi took a deep breath. Weier asked in confusion, "Whats the matter?" "Nothing, just got annoyed by some dog. Lets rest for a bit." Luo Xi found a spot on the ground that was free of any objects and sat down. With his Yuan Su sealed, it meant he couldnt use any of the abilities he currently possessed. That foster father of Hill had locked them up in this small, unbreakable dark room, obviously planning to release them when the time came. In that case, all he could do for now was to just let it be. Luo Xi quickly estimated the time. It must be around nine oclock by now. So, if Hills foster father intended to keep them locked up past midnight, he could prepare to start the rewind process. That meant he needed to attempt... suicide. Luo Xi fell silent for a moment. He tried to pull his hand away, but Cat Cat on the side clung to him tighter, as if afraid he would run away. "Luo Xi, you really wont die, right?" Luo Xi: "..." How many times had Weier asked this question? Luo Xi did not answer. Weier tightened her grip on Luo Xis hand. Speaking softly, she said, "although Id like to stay optimistic, the current situation really doesnt allow for optimism... If I cant come back this time, and you can still resurrect, you should know what I mean." "Yes, I know," Luo Xi replied. For Weier, her bottom line was never her own life, but her sister Aina. "Thats good," Weier said gently, and then fell silent. Luo Xi also stopped talking and did not deliberately tease the Cat-eared Girl. The only thing that intertwined was the warmth seeping into their hands. Despite not knowing what dangers lay ahead. But why did it feel so comforting? Luo Xi was puzzled. If Hill was not acting, then they were bound to die this time, with almost no one able to save them. Even for himself, there could be a situation like the last time, where a rewind mistake occurred. All these were uncertainties of the future. Luo Xi looked towards the spot next to him. His sight was almost completely engulfed in profound darkness. Yet, he could ascertain there was someone there, even without the hand in his. It was like in the darkness, where ones gaze is naturally drawn to the place where there is light or fire. It wasnt correct or noble, just humble. Yet such a sight was captivating. Was this sense of security brought about by the girl beside him? [Note: Garbage Traveler, I didnt expect you to be quite an interesting person~] Luo Xi: "..." Ill take that Damn Text as a compliment then. Time kept passing by, minute by minute, second by second. Luo Xi was also calculating time. Sear?h the N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. An hour, two hours. Just when he was about to take out the large machete from his knapsack, ready to go through with it despite his trepidation, a heavy push of the door sounded. At the same time, a light poured in, accompanied by a dizzying sensation of the world spinning. Luo Xi sighed softly. Has it come? There should still be time left before 12 oclock. So theres no rush to rewind yet. Soon, Luo Xi realized he had been moved, and a young boys silhouette stood by his side, while the Cat-eared girl who had been holding his hand was nowhere to be seen. [Ding! You have exited a special location, your synchronised time has resumed, 30 minutes remaining] A piercing cold wind blew across his face. Luo Xis eyes widened as he looked ahead. The hazy view that normally came with his standard synchronization state dispersed at that moment, becoming extraordinarily clear. The Divine Tree, covering the sky like a giant umbrella, stood right before his eyes, with its trunk comparable to the base of a skyscraper, glittering all over with lights like the stars, and countless snowflakes falling, painting a scene like that of a dream. Luo Xi saw a group of well-equipped guards. He also saw many power armors far more advanced than his own old armor. And there was... the Rat King, holding a steel sword and eyeing a somewhat handsome man menacingly, with a smile on his face as though he intended to slice the man across from him. None of these mattered. Cat Cat, where was Weier?! "Stop looking, shes over there." At that moment, Hills voice rang out; he stood by Luo Xis side, pointing ahead. Following the direction of Hills finger, Luo Xis gaze sharpened. The Cat-eared girl was positioned next to the Divine Tree, numerous branches lifting her up, forming a mystical pattern that entangled her. The girl looked around blankly, unaware of her whereabouts. At last, upon seeing Luo Xi, Weier finally ceased her movements. All the blankness, fear, and every bit of negative emotion in the girl turned into a smile upon seeing him. Weiers lips moved slightly without a sound, but Luo Xi felt as if he heard her voice. "Aina is in your hands now, dont bully her from now on, you pervert." Luo Xi lowered his gaze. This silly cat. Chapter 182 - 159 - Close to Wei’er, feels so exciting~_1 Chapter 182: Chapter 159 - Close to Weier, feels so exciting~_1Rat King Noss face was overcast as he stared at the man in the high hat before him, his right hand resting on the hilt of the steel sword, trembling ever so slightly. He very much wanted to smash the mans face to pieces with his sword. Unfortunately, it wasnt time yet. It would only be after midnight that the triennial Festival would occur, and once he obtained the True Canon, he would certainly settle the score with all of these people first. The man in the high hat lifted his magic staff, waved it casually, and an invisible barrier unfolded. His face was full of smugness. The man said with a scornful laugh, "Nos, Ive cut off the surrounding sounds. Say whatever you want to say, but wait, youre not here to ask for that key back, are you hahaha?" Rat King Noss expression remained indifferent. The man in the high hat continued to mock, "Dont even think about it! You handed over the key to me willingly, should I be thanking you for your generous gift? But now, I advise you to stop thinking about getting involved in the Festival, or dont blame me if I disregard past relations and take you down first!" With another wave of his staff, the man shouted behind him, "First and Second Power Armor Units, keep an eye on this man! He is planning to disrupt the Divine Tree Festival!" Squeak squeak In an instant, the dozen or so power armors, their backs ejecting steam and ice crystals, turned in unison. Their red eyes glowed as they aimed their weapons at Rat King Nos. Noss gaze swept over the power armors and the guards behind the man in the high hat, then glanced at the Divine Tree, where Weier was now restrained. Hm? Noss brow furrowed. He had thought the childs face would be filled with despair and fear, but why did she seem not afraid at all? It was as if she had entrusted everything that needed to be done after her and could go in peace... Suddenly, the gloomy smile on Noss face faded away, replaced by a gentle one. He produced from his embrace a light blue magic staff. The staff was nearly half a meter in length, with a gemstone at the top that shimmered like the stars. Mere eye contact with the staff felt like embracing the sky and the wind up close. The man in the high hats triumphant expression froze. That staff... wasnt that the Lost Yuan Qi that Liya had always carried with her? The Lost Yuan Qi, a relic of ancient and legendary times, was crafted with techniques and methods too complex for present-day Craftsmen to replicate. Wait, after Liya cast that rune seal, the staff had fallen from the Divine Tree and Nos had picked it up? With a smile, Nos said, "Mazar, do you now understand why I let little Weier wander around the Inner City of Winter City without caring where she might go?" "Damn!" The man in the high hat looked back quickly and swung his staff again to cut off the sound. "You really are a coward, so afraid to reveal your true identity in front of your subordinates? Even though they would never believe a Variant like me?" Rat King mocked him with the same derisive look, laughing, "Because I dont care where she went. As long as she was in Winter City, nothing matters. Youve brought her here and saved me the trouble of looking for her." "Nos! Hand over the staff to me!" The man in the high hat roared softly, taking a step forward. The steel sword in Noss hand hummed. Fierce sword winds crisscrossed, gouging deep grooves into the ground. He squinted and said, "Mazar, are you sure you want to fight me now? There isnt a single Tier Four sublimated person here, and Signo wont heed your orders. He might even suspect your identity already. You want to move against me without relying on the childs power? Where do you get your courage from?!" Mazar halted his advance, his face clouded with gloom, "Then what do you propose we do?" Nos looked around at the people present and smiled, "It seems you also realize that without little Weier, with your strength and the powers you control, there is only a 30 percent chance of successfully reversing Liyas seal, which is close to a Tier Five strength. But theres a 70 percent chance of failure. Even with the other items left by Liya as a catalyst, it wont match up to this Lost Yuan Qi she used for years, right?" The man in the high hat said heavily, "I cant deny that." Nos surveyed those around him, "Moreover, this is our last chance. I know the bishop of the Church of Truths Noah branch in Winter City would be at your mercy, but I prefer not to trust others. If we go on like this, the Shining City will eventually find out about the issues in Winter City. We wont get another three years, and even if we did, can you guarantee the other deacons or even bishop-level figures in the Church of Truth wouldnt come to reap what we have sown?" "So, you and I break Liyas seal together, wait for the True Canon to appear, and then well each rely on our own ability." After a moment of hesitation, the man in the high hat nodded, "We could..." Then, Mazar covered his face. It was as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, and he could not help but burst into laughter: "Hahaha, did you think I would say that? Echo of Azure, Ive long coveted the Lost Yuan Qi, so why should I wait! Hill, your foster father needs you!" "Right away, Lord Father." S~ea??h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The voice of a young boy sounded. Chapter 183 - 159 - Close to Wei’er, feels so exciting~_2 Chapter 183: Chapter 159 - Close to Weier, feels so exciting~_2The little boy in the distance seemed to suddenly slump. Meanwhile, the figure of the tall-hatted man seemed to stretch infinitely upwards. Above everyones head, the Winter Divine Tree slowly shook its branches, scattering countless specks of stardust, which gradually surged into the body of the tall-hatted man. This was the power of the Winter Divine Tree being transferred in some way! Rat King Noss expression changed, "Have you gone mad? You dare to use the power of the Divine Tree yourself..." Nos had thought that Mazar only controlled Hill to fight. Unexpectedly, this man had transferred the power of the Divine Tree into himself, taking personal control of it, which was even crazier than he was! The gap between the two was like the difference between heaven and earth. The Eternal World Tree Noah, as the foundation of the Shining Country, is in some ways a deity. All Divine Trees within its root range, big or small, must be recognized by Noahs Tree; otherwise, its impossible to use the power of the Divine Tree normally. Even he only sought to consume the power of the True Canon, not daring to use it. After all, a deity might overlook the disappearance of a small portion of power, but would never turn a blind eye to power being wielded by any Tom, Dick, or Harry. Mazars eyes flickered with deep blue light, "Do you think Ive done nothing these past three years?" "First and second armored troops, execute the orders to guard the Divine Tree and the offerings!" Boom! Then, in Mazars roar, countless specks of stardust condensed on his body, forming armor-like objects. His form turned into a streak of light and collided with Nos. Nos decisively drew his steel sword to meet the attack. Boom! The shockwave and the wild wind from the clash of the two seemed as if they would overturn the entire field! However, the Divine Tree merely trembled slightly, instantly weakening the impact, restoring stability to the area. "Delkus!" Noss forehead veins bulged as he fiercely roared. Moments later, a chilling presence of death began to spread from nowhere. A group of undead warriors with bodies as sturdy as steel, carrying an unstoppable momentum, knocked soldiers blocking the way and entered the battlefield. Luo Xi stood beside Hill, using his arm to shield the fierce wind caused by the fight. With the cold wind blowing, every nerve ending between his trembled, hesitating. Sarch* The Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. When Luo Xi raised his hand, he touched the wetness on his face. It was the involuntary tears shed out of sadness for the girl who, despite being in a dire situation, still forced a smile. [Ding! Your Sadness Value +100] Why am I so sad? Luo Xi fell silent. He didnt quite understand why those guys had suddenly started fighting. Even if everything was destined to be revisited, he didnt want to leave the silly cat by herself, sitting there alone. Just watching was very heartbreaking. But, how much time was left? If its already past midnight... [Note: Traveler, a friendly reminder that there are still twenty minutes to midnight~] Damn Text, well done! Luo Xi looked around. Perhaps because of the influence of the Divine Tree, the visual haziness he experienced had now dissipated. There was about a hundred meters to where Cat Cat was, with many guards stationed in between. He needed to think of a way to get past them. At that moment, Hills somewhat weakened voice spoke up, "What are you going to do?" Luo Xis body stiffened and he looked at the boy with a complex gaze. And you? What exactly do you want to do? Luo Xi pointed at the place in the distance where Weier was trapped: "Can you send me over there?" Hill shook his head, "No, all my power has already been transferred to my adoptive father. He must be... enjoying it quite a bit, right?" Luo Xi: "..." Well damn, if I didnt know you likely have ulterior motives, I might even suspect you really are a filial son. Curious, Hill asked, "Do you not hate me? I dont see the feeling of hatred in your eyes." "Why should I hate you?" Luo Xi leaned down, patted the boy on the head, and said with a smile, "Youre doing what you can, right?" Hill nodded silently. "Can you tell me what it is?" Luo Xi asked. "Sorry, not now, but youll see very soon..." Luo Xi looked up with a smile, "No worries, I need to go and do something I can as well." Over there, a lost Cat Cat was waiting for him to go and comfort her. Pure white light flickered and that old-model dynamic power armor suddenly appeared on the ground. Someone who had been keeping an eye on Hill was startled. How did this power armor appear out of nowhere?! Come to think of it, there have been reports of a Variant with some kind of storage ability breaking into St. Sound Sanatorium and the Variant gathering spots recently... By the time they realized what was happening and tried to surround the place, Luo Xi had already completed the sequence of operations to open the hatch, get inside, and close the door within three seconds. [Power core loading completed (Current Yuan Su reserves available for continuous use: 15 minutes)] [Mithril mechanism operating normally] Spark exclaimed joyfully, "Spark has completed the reboot! Welcome back, Lord!" "..." Luo Xi eyed the position across the way, prepared to charge directly over there, and if really necessary, self-destruct and start over. Just then, Hills voice, piercing through the armors barrier, directly rang in Luo Xis ear: "Wait a second, you dont have to do this. Shes actually not there anymore... Before I gave my power to my adoptive father, I had already pulled her over. Whats over there now is just a residual image." Luo Xi: "???" The armor also froze in place. What? Hill waved his hands to disperse the guards who had gathered around: "Go watch over the Divine Tree, make sure my adoptive father, Lord, and the attackers fight doesnt damage the Tree!" At that moment, a man brooding next to his own dynamic power armor, who had remained inactive, saw the armor that had appeared out of thin air. Deep-seated memories surged forth at the sight. "Is that... Spark?" [Ding! Your Shock Value has increased by 30 with Xx] Luo Xi was somewhat dumbfounded. Since Cat Cat has already left, then where is she? Suddenly, a soft and delicate body, as if appearing out of nowhere, squeezed into his embrace. In the cramped cockpit of Spark, the familiar sweet scent of flowers filled the air immediately. Weiers crisp voice rang out in Luo Xis arms: "Are you an idiot? If I hadnt come out, would you have really rushed over there headfirst? Didnt I tell you to take good care of Aina? Or do you actually have so many lives that you can resurrect indefinitely?" [Note: Damn Traveler, now youre the one being called an idiot, huh~ But being squeezed together with the Cat-eared girl in a tight space surrounded by enemies, thats quite thrilling, huh~] Chapter 184 - 160 - A legal animal-ear Lolita is so bland~ Death of the Rat King?_1 Chapter 184: Chapter 160 - A legal animal-ear Lolita is so bland~ Death of the Rat King?_1Luo Xis vision was now fully synchronized with the power armor. Therefore, when Weiers soft body pressed close to him, Luo Xi could not only hear the girls voice in his ears but also see the captured Cat Cat in the distance, giving him a strange feeling. Hill had already sent all the soldiers and guards who had gathered around away. As the true City Owner of Winter City, Hills words carried weight; even though Luo Xis behavior was very suspicious, no one dared to directly apprehend him. After all, the power armor had already stopped. For the guards, the battle between the ruling official and the unidentified attacker was what mattered most. The fight had been going on for two minutes, and the figures of those two were almost indistinguishable, clashing in the night sky near the Divine Tree like two meteors of different colors. If it wasnt for the suppression of the Winter Divine Tree, the aftermath of the battle between two Tier Four Transcendents might have been enough to level the entire city. It was unexpected that the notorious Grand Judge would also be involved, and on the side of betrayal, no less. Although they didnt know where people were, cleaning up these zombies was quite troublesome. But none of the guards believed that the ruling official would lose; this was under the Winter Divine Tree, after all. The young City Owner had lent his strength to the ruling official, so there was absolutely no chance of him losing! ... Luo Xi glanced at the meteors colliding in the night sky next to the Winter Divine Tree. 6. Was the Rat King not actually using his full strength when he killed him those times? Heh, it would be best if you both end up dead. "Spark, shut off all limb synchronization and cut off half of the visual synchronization." "Received, Spark~ Limb synchronization is now off, visual synchronization is partially turning off~" Luo Xi blinked. The dark cockpit and the outside view each fell into his left and right eyes respectively. Then, a faint golden light illuminated the interior of the cockpit. The little elf in white stockings, Spark, flew onto Luo Xis shoulder, shaking her little feet and asking, "Master, why do we stop? Spark was already ready to fight!" Luo Xi didnt answer Sparks question but looked at the girl in his arms instead. Indeed, he and Weier were in a very intimate position, clinging together in the cramped cockpit. Thankfully, it was his upper body that was pressed close... [Note: If it was the lower body, Trash Traveler, wouldnt you be about to achieve the great feat of losing your virginity in the Dream World?] Thats impossible. Luo Xi was not like Chu Tian, that Cao Zei who only thought about that one thing. He was well aware that even though his consciousness could enter this world, he ultimately wasnt the real him in this world. For Luo Xi, petting fluffy tails and ears was sufficient for now; arent fluffy tails and ears happier than that thing? And they wouldnt be casually eaten by some river crab monster. [Note: Traveler, you truly are a pure-hearted Furry connoisseur virgin~] Will you shut up, Damn Text?! However, Cat Cat was indeed someone he could pet for a while to make up for the tears shed in sorrow just now. Luo Xi kept one eye on the outside situation while calculating the remaining time, then placed his hand on the girls head, gently touching one of her cat ears. Perhaps because the Furnace Core was still operating normally, Luo Xis body temperature was quite high, and Weier felt the heat from the young mans body behind her, making her face turn redder. This wont do. This pervert is really becoming less and less restrained with his desires. Weier really wanted to get out now. Then a voice rang in her ear: "Dont come out for now, you used your ability just now and broke the concealment I applied to you. I dont have enough strength to give you a second concealment." Weier: "(ߣ)!" What was she thinking to follow Luo Xi inside here? If she had known, she would have let this stupid jerk rush out and get killed! [Ding! Weiers Anger Value toward you +10] Luo Xi paused with his hand movement. Yeah, petting someone recklessly in this kind of place would indeed make her angry, right? Seeing Luo Xi had stopped, Weier initially thought he was planning some new trick and subconsciously hugged her chest. "Master? What are you doing?" Since Luo Xi continued to ignore her, Spark called out again. Then, looking down inside the cockpit, she finally realized something was amiss. This person... when did this person come in? The golden-haired elf Lolita frowned and complained, "Only Master should be allowed inside Spark! Why is there another person here now?" "Master! Kick her out! Only Master is allowed to come into Spark!" Sear?h the N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Luo Xi: "..." You, strange little elf, stop saying weird stuff! Weier heard the voice and looked up at the little one, asking uncertainly, "What is this?" How does this pervert Luo Xi have such a weird thing? "Spark!" Spark patted her chest, "Spark was born because of Master, so Master is Master! Only Master can enter Sparks space!" [Ding! Weiers Alertness Value toward you +10] Weier gently elbowed Luo Xi and muttered suspiciously, "Pervert, are you even capable of laying hands on such a small thing? Do you really prefer them better when theyre that small? Is that why you like Aina so much?" [Note: Thats right! The Trash Traveler loves young beast-eared Lolitas the most, and a grown legal beast-eared Lolita like Cat Cat actually bores him~] Chapter 185 - 160 - A legal animal-ear Lolita is so bland~ Death of the Rat King?_2 Chapter 185: Chapter 160 - A legal animal-ear Lolita is so bland~ Death of the Rat King?_2"Fxxk! Damn text, what crap!" Weier frowned, "What dog are you talking about?" "...Didnt say anything." [Ding! Weiers Anger Value +19] Sar?h the N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Weier turned her head away. This guy actually called her a dog. He might as well have called her Cat Cat. "Hello." Suddenly, a somewhat deep voice sounded from outside. The dynamic armors right eye lit up. Luo Xi also looked up. It was a man in his forties with a somewhat melancholic air about him, surveying the dynamic armor, seemingly with great emotion, "Mr. Alte, so it was you who received Spark." Luo Xi: "!" How did this man know? Luo Xi immediately became vigilant. Damn text, how much time is left? [Note: There are eleven minutes left until midnight today.] There was still enough time. However, the man didnt take any other action; he simply looked nostalgically at Spark for a moment and then returned to his spot. Spark flew down from Luo Xis shoulder, somewhat confusedly asking, "Why does Spark feel hes somewhat familiar?" "..." Luo Xi did not answer. This man, perhaps he was Sparks previous owner? The dynamic armor, passed down through generations of willpower, had brought forth a new soul in his hands. This world is indeed quite marvelous. Afterward, Luo Xi watched the night sky battle for a few more minutes. All he could say was that high-tier Transcendents were really too powerful; this kind of battle was simply incomprehensible. Bang! In the sky, an object suddenly fell to the ground, creating a deep crater that seemed bottomless, even shaking Luo Xi and Weier inside the dynamic armor. Luo Xi also instinctively hugged the girl close. "Nos, this is the consequence of opposing me!" Amidst the mad laughter, another figure fell from the sky, plunging into the pit as if the chase was not yet over. At that moment, Hills eyes lit up. Finally, he had found his opportunity! The boy, seemingly from nowhere, suddenly produced a sharp dagger and without hesitation, plunged it into his chest. In an instant, the world seemed to plunge into silence. The brilliant radiance of the Winter Divine Tree dimmed all at once, and the sprinkling of starlight that fell gently to the ground lost its luster. The silver barrier that protected the Winter Inner Citys guardians extinguished simultaneously. "!" Almost instantly, Luo Xi noticed something was wrong with Hill and hurriedly shouted, "Cat Cat, take me down! You keep hiding here!" Seeing Luo Xi was in a hurry, Weier gave him a strong push. Luo Xi tumbled out of the dynamic armor, falling to the ground. Whoosh whoosh whoosh The howling wind gusted past Luo Xis ears. The world in front of him became dark; the light once emitted by the Winter Divine Tree had completely vanished, and the massive tree, over a hundred meters tall, appeared as if it had died. A golden thread descended from the profound night sky, landing on the top of the Winter Divine Tree. The guards who had been stationed around all knelt down to the ground towards the Winter Divine Tree. "Hill, what have you done?!" Luo Xi paid no heed to the anomaly occurring there; he turned around and immediately saw the dagger Hill had pressed against his chest, from where blood gushed out ceaselessly. With a pale face and a smile, Hill extended his hand toward Luo Xi: "Sorry for using you guys, but thanks to you, my foster father... he fully trusted me, let down his guard, and my plan is finally complete." "This is your plan?!" "During the two days when the blizzard froze the whole city, I thought about killing my foster father, but I found I couldnt bring myself to harm him, just like I would lose my memories whenever I remembered anything related to him." Hill said with a smile, "So, this is my way. I am the current custodian of the Winter Divine Tree. Once Im on the brink of death, the power of the Divine Tree will undergo a drastic change, leading to my foster father losing his capability to avoid the punishment of the Eternal World Tree when borrowing my strength." "And I, during those two days when no one could act, used the power of the Divine Tree to copy the structure of the original prisonthat one you stayed inacross many different locations around the Winter Divine Tree. Setting traps everywhere, I thought there would be a battle one day, and when they fell into my traps upon breaking into the prison, that would be the moment to use this move. How impressive am I?" The boys proud expression was like that of a child who couldnt stop showing off his favorite toy to others. Luo Xi grabbed Hills hand, "Stop talking, let me see if theres a healing scroll..." He took out a scroll given by Shopkeeper Lena from his bag and tore it open, placing it on the boys chest. Hills clothes were already soaked with blood, which had formed into cold crystals. This kid really did a number on himself; did he stab right towards his heart? As the warm light was released, Hills complexion gradually returned to normal. "Thank you." Hill stood up, pressing Luo Xis hand, and pointed at the pit with a smile, "Now, please enjoy the judgment of the Eternal World Tree Noah upon those who have desecrated It!" It was as if the world stood still. It was deep into the night, yet a brilliant golden light fell from the heavens, carrying supreme might and dazzling brilliance that almost blinded Luo Xi. Two mad howls erupted from the pit, but they were as powerless as the cries of a dying beast. All those kneeling on the ground pressed their heads even lower to the earth. Hill looked curiously at Luo Xi. Why didnt this guy show any reaction? After ten seconds. The howls stopped. Blue light shone in Hills eyes. He raised his hand, and in an instant, two entwined and unrecognizable objects appeared at Luo Xis feet. Then, the boy tilted his head and collapsed onto Luo Xis body, seemingly having passed out. Luo Xi took a deep breath. He kicked the two objects with his foot. Rat King Noss. Hills foster father. Both were dead, their bodies continuously disintegrating. Luo Xi bent down, picked up the eye-catching light blue magic staff on the rat kings corpse, and suddenly felt as though he was dreaming. Ding! You have obtained the Lost Yuan Qi: Echo of Azure. That nearly invincible Rat King Noss, was he really dead just like that? Luo Xi stood over the rat kings body for a long time, conducting a thorough examination on the filthy old rat. The rat kings head had already vanished. Surely he couldnt come back to life, right? Its not like this guy was also a Traveler from another world, right? The other, Hills foster father, had completely disappeared without a trace, leaving only a set of tattered clothes on the ground. Luo Xi, brushing against the biting cold wind, laid Hill down and covered him with his own clothes. The light of the Winter Divine Tree gradually brightened up again, with a silver radiance enveloping the entire city anew. The kneeling guards stood up one by one. With both men dead, there was no need for Luo Xi to rewind. Rewinding might not even lead to a better result. After all, this was the outcome the boy, Hill, had gambled his life for, and Luo Xi had done nothing. At this moment, the time just passed midnight. Chapter 186 - 161 The Way to Kidnap Lolita starts today? (x) Shocking Change! _1 Chapter 186: Chapter 161 The Way to Kidnap Lolita starts today? (x) Shocking Change! _1[Note: Ding ding dang dang~ Worthless Traveler, youve successfully made it through the extremely dangerous yesterday and arrived at a new day, embarking on your new journey~ The path of abducting beast-eared Lolitas by the Worthless Traveler (), starting from today! (Unless theres an unexpected event)] [Remaining synchronization time: 8 minutes] Goddamn path of abduction. Ive said it several times, its called traveling together! Its already the second day, and everything from yesterday has become an unchangeable conclusion. So, is it really ending just like this? For some reason, Luo Xi felt uneasy. It was like finishing a game with a sense of unfulfillment, and after looking up the guide, realizing that he only achieved a normal ending, and the true end was never reached. Luo Xi looked down at the blue wand in his hand which clearly appeared quite cherished. The text provided some explanations. [Echo of Azure] [Quality: Purple (Epic++)] [Category: wand-type weapon (Lost Yuan Qi Device)] [Attributes: Damage from all Skills +30%500% (variable boost based on users tier), your casting speed +100%, your cooldown time for Skills -50%, your charisma +6 (hidden attribute)] [Additional Skills: Azures Blessing, Wind Barrier, Sky Echo, Azure Fall] [Azures Blessing (Passive): Skill Practitioners recognized by this wand, sublimated persons, will receive Azures Blessing, allowing them to ignore all usage requirements related to natural symbols involving sky and wind Skills] [Wind Barrier: ??? (Unable to read)] [Azure Fall: ??? (Unable to read)] [Sky Echo: ??? (Unable to read)] [Description: Every lost Yuan Qi device is a rare treasure on the Pan Continent, bearing witness to the epic and legends of the Lost Era, singing poems of destruction that still remain immortal] Luo Xi: "0Q." Epic++. This was the highest quality equipment he had ever seen. The Dream Wand, which had originally been worth two thousand pounds of Essence Crystals, was just rare quality with a blue level, so how valuable was this Echo of Azure? Was Liyas family really that wealthy? That means, if it werent for becoming Mutant Patients, Weier might now still be living like a little princess. At that moment, Luo Xi heard some noise. He noticed that the kneeling guards were all looking in this direction, their eyes filled with shock and astonishment. Why did the governing official die from divine punishment? Wasnt he the little City Owners adoptive father, the one the little City Owner respected the most? Plus, why was the little City Owner lying on the ground, had that man next to her done something? Someone spotted the black and red horns on Luo Xis head. "Hes a Variant!" As soon as these two words emerged, the guards gazes immediately turned hostile, and they picked up their weapons. Even with the previous orders from Hill, they were no longer willing to let this person go. Luo Xi: "..." No good, he needed to hurry and take Cat Cat to run away. These were all soldiers of the Winter City, and with Hill still unconscious, they would be in trouble if they got surrounded. After midnight, 8 minutes of synchronization time remained, and now another minute had passed. "Everyone, heed my command!" Suddenly, a deep voice echoed throughout the area. Luo Xis footsteps halted. The melancholic man who had met Luo Xi before stood at a higher point in the plaza and said loudly, "Now, as the governing official has died alongside the assailant, and the little City Owner Hill is unable to act, I shall take over the highest command authority here! I will handle this matter. All of you go and arrest Delkus, the Grand Judge who has betrayed Winter City! Flatten his mansion!" A guard, confused, said, "But, Deputy Commander, what about the Variant over there...?" The mans gaze hardened: "Are you questioning me? I said I would handle that!" "No... not at all." The guard backed down. The hierarchy within the Winter Legion was strictly enforced, and in the absence of the Legion Commander, the two Deputy Commanders were the highest level commanders. Moreover, the other Deputy Commander did not come to watch the Festival tonight. As for Delkus, that lawless Grand Judge, there were already people who wanted to deal with him, having had a conflict with the Deputy Commander before. However, now the governing official is dead, the little City Owner has fainted, and this Divine Tree Festival, perhaps it will not be held after all? Soon, a large number of Winter Legion soldiers and powered armors surged towards various locations. "Hello there." The man approached Luo Xi, first checked on the unconscious Hill, then looked up with a smile: "Mr. Alte told me about you; youre the only one who made him feel a strong desire to follow the voice of Spark. Now it seems Mr. Alte was right, Spark has come back to life in your hands, although I dont know how you did it." Luo Xi looked at him warily. He was afraid this guy was another hard coin. "Dont worry, I have no prejudice against Mutant Patients, after all, the Mr. Alte I respect the most is also a Variant. Me, Im only interested in killing Origin Beasts." The man glanced at the corpses and pile of torn clothes nearby, took out a cigarette from the clothes, lit it, and took a deep drag, the face full of stubble showing his world-weariness. He sneered, "This so-called First Governor has visibly turned Winter City into a mess in recent years, making the common people miserable. The nobility, on the other hand, is living better than before, but what good does that do? If I hadnt lacked the strength, I would have taken him down long ago. Good riddance!" Luo Xi: "..." The man took another drag on his cigarette, flicking it away as he said, "You guys should go. After leaving Winter City tomorrow, dont come back. Ill report this incident to the Legion Commander, and this time he must emerge from his confinement to take control. Winter City might be facing a major cleansing." "Mm." Luo Xi nodded. He tapped on the power armor. "Cat Cat, lets go." A Cat Cat head peeked out from the side of the armor. Weier looked left and right and asked, "Can I come out now?" "Mm." Weier hopped down from the armor, while Luo Xi put away Spark in front of the man, took Weiers little hand, and left directly. He was testing. If the other party had unsavory intentions, they would likely make their move now. "You freak..." Weier tried to pull her hand away but found it immovable, so she stopped trying, thinking it didnt matter anyway since they had been holding hands for quite a while before. "Wait a moment," the man called out. Luo Xi stopped and turned around. The man waved at Luo Xi and smiled, "By the way, I forgot to tell you. My name is Zide, I used to be..." Thwack Suddenly, the mans body stiffened. Luo Xis mouth hung open. A bloody hand pierced through the man from behind and then pulled back, flinging him aside with a forceful toss. Behind the man appeared an old man with a scar on his face, around sixty years old. "Cough...cough cough cough." After being thrown away, the man quickly stood up. He covered his wound and looked at the old man with pupils shrinking in disbelief, "You are... the commander of the Signo Legion, Lord, why you... No, you are not the commander. I saw him three years ago, youve taken his place! No wonder you locked yourself in solitary confinement for three years on the pretext of failing to protect the City Owner... Who are you, really?!" [Ding! Your Shock Value +50] Luo Xi was stunned for a moment. Damn, another tough old coin? [Note: Trash Traveler, I didnt expect an accident would occur, your journey to abduct the beast-eared Lolita seems to be doomed today~] Is now the time for such nonsense?! "You guys go!" The man who claimed to be Zide shouted at Luo Xi, materializing a blue long spear in his hand. Instantly, a chilly wind began to gather around his hand. The Path of Winter, Third-tier, Great Winter Knight! Hiss, hiss, hiss It sounded as if an enormous snake were inhaling. A dense, ghastly green light burst forth from the old man, turning into a huge serpentine shadow that solidified into a ferocious green snake. It first swallowed the mans thrusting spear, then devoured him whole! Then, the old man turned his gaze to Weier and said with a gentle smile, "Little Weier, now, at last, there is no one to stand in my way. All the obstacles here are gone, and you must accept your destiny." Weiers body trembled, "He, he is Rat King Noss!" Luo Xi: "!" Rat King Noss? He glanced at the decapitated corpse beside him. That one is Rat King Noss? Then what is this? Sear?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The brother of Rat King Noss? "Theres no need for such surprise. That was also me. I can tell you that in this world, theres a peak lord-level Origin Beast called Twin Serpent Rat. My factor comes from this Origin Beast." Noss said with a smile, "Feeding Rat, Parasitic Snake, snake and rat are one. Now the rat that was out foraging is dead, so the hibernating snake should also awaken." During Nosss speech, a flash of white light sparked on Luo Xis hand, and he once again released Spark. Spark was still in startup mode. If he piloted Spark, he might be able to hold off Rat King Noss for a while, and if all else failed, he might have to try detonating the Furnace Core again, though he would feel terrible for Spark. But the opponent did not give him any opportunities. Before Luo Xi could open the hatch, the same green serpentine shadow attacked, swallowing up both Spark and Luo Xi, then coiled around and took Weier away. Luo Xi felt as if he had entered an extremely viscous liquid. He tried to struggle but could not muster any strength. [Remaining synchronization time for this session: 1 minute] In the Mansion of the City Lord, Liyas workshop. Lena was studying the structure within the workshop. She found that it was completely isolated from the outside world, and leaving by normal means was impossible. Lena sighed softly. Worthy of being the teacher. She wondered how those two were doing now. Curling up in a corner, Aina reached out toward a spot, muttering silently, "Sister..." Chapter 187 - 162: Next time, I will definitely save you~_1 Chapter 187: Chapter 162: Next time, I will definitely save you~_1[Traveler, you have acquired a negative status: Advanced Corruption Poison (Based on your current Physique and Strength, you are now losing 2% of your Life Value every second.)] [Ding! Your Life Value -2%] [Ding!...] In his profound exhaustion, Luo Xi felt himself continuously falling, a sticky and slimy liquid pouring into his mouth and nose, corroding his body. Luo Xi tried to use his Abyss Flame ability, but his mutation powers were suppressed here by an external force far more powerful. Advanced Corruption Poison, was it a similar ability to the Intermediate Corruption Curse he had obtained before? However, back then Rat King Noss might have wanted to torture him first and did not wish to kill him outright, so the power of the skill was reduced. Gah Below, a corroded sound rang out, something bumped against his back, as if trying to push him upwards. Barely opening his eyes, Luo Xi realized that the corrosive poison sweeping in instantly destroyed and cut off his vision. What was below? Was it that man named Zide, or... Spark? Suddenly, something grabbed his hand and yanked hard. Luo Xi immediately realized that the thing wanted to steal the staff in his hand. Try to steal something I obtained? No way! [Do you want to store it in your Dreamland Satchel?] [Yes] [Ding! Synchronization ends here for this session.] [Traveler, looking forward to your next visit~] ... Luo Xi clutched his throat, gasping for air, and sat up from the bed. He sat motionlessly with a blank stare for more than ten seconds. The sensation of being slowly dissolved by strong acid caused both his spirit and body to tremble uncontrollably. [Traveler, you have died.] [You may choose to Resurrect at the last event point or a safe location.] [Talent: MoonflowZero Point has been triggered.] [Do you choose to rewind to zero point today?] Gazing at the message, Luo Xi kept silent for a moment but did not choose to rewind. After all, time could not be turned back to the day before. Therefore, it didnt matter if he used up all his remaining chances to Resurrect. Resurrection and rewinding, after all, did not conflict, as rewinding could also refresh the number of times he could Resurrect. [Do you wish to Resurrect?] [Yes, last event point.] [Traveler, you have been Resurrected at the last event point.] The last event point should be where Rat Kings original body was, right? [Traveler, after your resurrection, you startled Noss, who was not far away, but he quickly came over with delight on his face and killed you again.] [You died.] Luo Xi: "..." Damn, the resurrection was too close, and I was taken out instantly upon revival. This time, he did not immediately Resurrect but instead took out the Echo of Azure from his satchel to take a look. At first glance of the staff, Luo Xi felt as if he had become a bird embracing the azure sky, freely soaring through the blue heavens and the brush of the wind. It was clear at a glance that this was no ordinary equipment. Too bad he couldnt use it. A thought crossed Luo Xis mind. He wondered if his mother-in-laws Projection, which inhabited the Furnace-Core Hat, could use this impressive-looking staff? But the Furnace Core was still with Spark. And Spark had been devoured, probably destroyed by now. Items not on ones person at the time of death seemed not to be reclaimed by the satchel, even if one immediately resurrected thereafter. Then, he had to rewind first... No, wait a bit longer; he decided to Resurrect once more to see what the Rat King intended to do and to come up with corresponding strategies. Fifteen minutes later. Luo Xi chose to Resurrect. If Noss was still camping and waiting for him, he could prepare to rewind immediately. Even though there wasnt much time to prepare for Noss after the rewind. But he could still create a better situation for the confrontation than now. [Traveler, you have been Resurrected.] [Traveler, the square has fallen into an unbearably cold state, the temperature plummeting rapidly, and you saw the Book of Snowice floating outside the Divine Tree.] [Weier, that silly cat, seems to be in a very critical condition.] Has it started already? Luo Xi immediately pulled down the Talent: Immersion from his Talents column. [Do you want to use the Talent: Immersion?] [Yes] [Please select the mode you wish to trigger for the Talent.] [[Happiness]/[Killing Intent]/[Anger]/[Sadness]] [Ding! Pre-conditions for talent activation have been met, you currently have Happiness Level 369, Killing Intent Value 176, Anger Value 135, and Sadness Value 179.] [Please select your activation mode.] Luo Xis gaze swept over the accumulated anger and killing intent, landing last on... Sadness? [You can activate Talent: Immersion (Sadness).] [Immersion (Sadness): In this state, theres a 17.9% chance that your attacks and damages will carry a spiritual attack effect, causing the enemy to remember sorrowful events (Skill, once triggered successfully, ignores tier differences and will take effect), Talent duration does not exceed ten minutes.] [Do you wish to trigger it?] Lets try it. [Yes] [Traveler, welcome to the journey of dreams~] ... Ten minutes ago. "Where is the Echo of Azure?" "Where is my Lost Yuan Qi?!" The elderly-faced Noss, grimacing, kicked around the pile of things that had fallen after he had removed the Corruption Snake Cage. One of the men was barely breathing, his nominal subordinate in the body he had parasitized. Another had turned into an unrecognizable blackened thing; previously, he had held the Echo of Azure in his hand, a fact which Noss had seen clearly. But where had it gone? Such a treasure could not possibly have been destroyed by mere poison. "Humph, humph." The girls crisp and pleasant mocking laughter echoed near the Divine Tree. Noss abruptly looked up, turning towards Weier, who had been put back into the cage of branches and leaves, and said menacingly, "What are you laughing at?" Weier rested her chin on the edge of the cage with her face in her hand, continuing to mock, "I dont know what Im laughing at, but seeing you so frantic makes me want to laugh~" Luo Xi, that dead pervert, must have taken the item, right? Well done! However, judging by that pile of junk, he must be dead by now, right? Weiers smile faded. Idiot, even if you can resurrect, dont come back here. Theres no one left who can restrain the Rat King now. The next moment, a flash of light appeared, and Luo Xis figure appeared below. Weier: "..." Noss was instantly overjoyed. How did this fellow escape the snake cage? You dared to come back! He immediately rushed over and instantly killed Luo Xi, then started searching him. But in the end, apart from a set of tattered clothes, nothing was found. Weier let out a sigh of relief and sneered mockingly again. Hearing Weiers laughter, Nosss eyes turned a furious red, as he wildly began to destroy everything in place, trying to find the possibly hidden staff. In the meantime, guards who returned and saw this scene tried to approach, but Noss killed them on the spot. "Where did it go... wait!" Noss turned around and saw an unscathed hat among the pile of discarded junk steel. His pupils suddenly became sharp like a snakes. Only items of at least rare quality could remain intact under the corrosion of the Corruption Poison snake cage. Weiers expression also stiffened. How could Luo Xi forget to take that thing with him? The Rat King keenly noticed the change in the young girls expression. He walked over, bent down to pick up the hat: "This thing, does it also have a close connection with your mother, Liya?" Weier pursed her lips and remained silent. "No matter, lets try it and well know." Noss sneered coldly, picked up the unconscious Hill and threw the child towards the Divine Tree, then outpaced him with even greater speed, catching Hill before he could hit the branches of the Divine Tree. Next, Noss stuffed Hill into the Divine Tree. Weiers complexion suddenly changed. The Winter Divine Tree trembled. As an indescribably powerful aura swept through, a massive book inscribed with infinite mysteries instantly appeared on the outside of the Divine Tree. From Weiers angle, it looked like a book carved out of ice and snow. Hill reappeared outside the Divine Tree, and Noss carelessly tossed the young child onto the ground. Sar?h the N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. There was an unrestrained joy in Nosss voice: "Its finally coming!" After toiling so long, fortune indeed favors the persistent! The Book of Snowice slowly descended towards Hill. Noss reached out to touch the Book of Snowice, but a barrier made of dense runes suddenly appeared, repelling Noss and causing his palm to be covered with fresh blood. Weier: "!" Noss looked at his split palm, raised his head to Weier, his tone filled with anger, "So this is the seal your mother set up before, comparable to a Tier Five rune seal, preventing most of the strength of the Winter Divine Tree from flowing out. The power Hill has is merely equivalent to Tier Four strength; otherwise, Mazar would not dare to control him, however bold he might be." Weier responded with a two-word laugh. Nosss smile softened: "Well, now its time for little Weier to play your part. Uncle has taken care of you sisters for three years; you should repay that, shouldnt you?" Weier spat out a mouthful of saliva. Hiss The girls body suddenly stiffened. The leaves of the cage unfolded, forming a grand inscription symbol at the bottom. She was impaled through her limbs by green tubular objects from the cage; her blood continuously flowed into the Book of Snowice through the tubes. Noss placed the hat he had brought over onto the top of the Book of Snowice, releasing his own strength. The hat seemed to vibrate slightly but was immediately suppressed by Noss. This was a universal method to break seals. Using the blood of the direct descendant of the sealer to reverse-engineer the cracking of the seal. The stronger the seal, the more blood needed, and the closer and more mature the blood, the better. Of course, to increase the success rate, an item connected to the sealer was also needed. Originally, the Lost Yuan Qi, Echo of Azure, was the best medium for reversing the seals cracking. Now that the staff was lost, using this peculiar hat should suffice, more or less. After all, once he devoured the power of the True Canon, he would be able to truly enhance his strength. Once he steps into the realm of a Tier Five sovereign with a mortal body, where in this vast world could he not go? The Church of Truth? Theyre but stepping stones to him. Crack Nosss gaze suddenly changed as he looked to the left; there he saw a young man climbing the cage, attempting to crawl into the operating cage. "How is that guy still alive? Does he have more lives than damn me?!" ... Am I dying? Weier felt her life slipping away and curled up helplessly. Isnt that pervert coming back? Good, his choice wasnt wrong this time. However, the girl still felt a bit desolate. Having lived for so many years, she finally met someone interesting and truly didnt want to die. She did want to travel with him after all. Weier closed her eyes. Hope you take care of Aina. Suddenly, the girl heard a hoarse voice by her ear, and she incredulously opened her eyes to look. It was Luo Xi, who had already died twice, attempting to reach his hand into the cage. Weier tearfully realized, "Why did you come back, are you really an idiot..." The next moment, the young mans figure in front of the girl turned into countless specks of dust. However, his hand ultimately landed on the girls head. Weier heard him say, "Next time, I will definitely save you." Chapter 188 - 163: Mother-in-law Lord Is Awesome! Prairie Spark!(6k)_1 Chapter 188: Chapter 163: Mother-in-law Lord Is Awesome! Prairie Spark!(6k)_1"[You died]" "[Talent: MoonflowZero Point has been triggered]" "[Do you choose to rewind to the zero hour of today?]" "[Yes]" ... "[Traveler, your spirit has undergone intense chaos. All attributes of your role in the Dream World have decreased by 10% (This negative state cannot be reversed by resurrection, and its duration is 8 hours)]" A cold wind passed by Luo Xis ear. His head shook slightly as he raised it. What he saw before him was still that square filled with guards and soldiers, with that man named Zide not yet having cleared the guards from the scene. "[Remaining synchronization time: 8 minutes]" Last time, Noss appeared around six or seven minutes in. Before the guards noticed them, Luo Xi tapped Sparks armor twice and whispered, "Cat Cat, come out." "Are we good now? Meow" Just as Weier poked her head out in confusion, Luo Xi pressed against her cheek and pulled her down, then with a flash of white light, Spark was stowed away in his bag. The cat-eared girl, having been roughly handled by Luo Xi, covered her face (ߣ) and said, "You pervert, what are you doing... Whats wrong with you?" Weier halted her complaining as she noticed Luo Xis complexion didnt seem very good. "No time to explain, lets go." Luo Xi scooped up the still bewildered Weier in his arms. He turned into a blur, sprinting towards the direction of the Mansion of the City Lord. Although he incidentally nestled the soft and delicate body of Cat Cat into his arms, he couldnt stir any other emotions at the moment, not even the slightest thought of taking advantage of the situation. "[Note: Abbreviation, Sage Time]" He couldnt be bothered to mock the Damn Text. "[Ding! Weiers Embarrassment Value towards you +10]" "Put me down, I can walk on my own..." Weier muttered, giving up after a slight struggle. There was no way around it, the pervert was holding her too tightly. The girl looked at Luo Xis face, which seemed calm but tired. "What on earth happened..." Suddenly, Weier saw Luo Xis expression stiffen. The girl turned her head in confusion toward that direction. Sar?h the N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. A figure of an old man appeared in the alley ahead. Who was this old man? Luo Xi came to an abrupt halt and ran back the way they had come. His heart was already cursing. Damn. Noss had arrived in less than a minute. This guys other body was definitely keeping an eye on them and must have come over to block their escape as soon as he realized they were trying to run away. Lu Xi originally wanted to use Liyas workshop to hide from Noss. As long as he could delay until the young City Owner Hill came to, that would be enough. After all, from various signs in the past, Rat King Nos didnt dare to kill that child, even though the child had already fainted. But Noss didnt give them the time to get to the Mansion of the City Lord, not even a minute. Mice and snakes, both equally cunning creatures. So, they had to go back. Perhaps they could reveal his identity and have the Winter Legion confront him. ... Zide bent down to pick up the small City Owner lying on the ground, handing him over to a subordinate. Looking in the direction where the previous individual had disappeared, he sighed slightly with a hint of regret. Why run off in such a hurry? He had finally seen the person Mr. Alte talked about and had wanted to speak with him more. Of course, he also understood that the other party was probably afraid of being caught. Zide glanced at the tattered cloth on the ground with disdain and smiled. He heard some subordinates talking about avenging the Governor. Avenging that guy? All he wanted to say was, good riddance! Once they slaughtered that dogshit Judge Delkus, Winter City could finally get back on the right track. "Hmm?" Zide suddenly looked up ahead: "Why have they come back?" The young man with horn-like mutation features, holding a cat-eared girl, was charging towards them, yelling out loud, "Your Legion Commander has been possessed by Rat King Noss!" Legion Commander? Possessed? What in the world? Zide frowned. However, when he saw the old man leisurely walking behind the two, who looked slow yet moved like the wind, Zides eyes first lit up with surprise, then grew somber. Was that really... Lord Sigano, the Legion Commander? As soon as Luo Xi arrived, it was no surprise that they were surrounded by a group of soldiers. The old man behind them strolled leisurely to the scene. Many of the soldiers saluted him, even the towering power armors bowed their heads in respect. "Lord Commander, you have finally arrived!" The old man raised his hand, his somewhat aged voice echoing across the square: "I have brought back the invaders. Tonight, I shall continue to preside over the Divine Tree Festival. All the invaders will be sacrificed to the Winter Divine Tree as their penance for the dead." All the soldiers around him hailed the Lord Commanders wisdom. Luo Xis heart sank. If Noss could maintain his disguise for even a short while, the idea of using the Winter Legion against him was completely unfeasible. The situation was now even worse than the first time, as back then he only had to face Noss alone. As the soldiers and guards closed in, Luo Xi gently placed Weier down from his arms. Weier looked around anxiously, "What do we do now? Why did you run back here? Are you stupid?" Then, amid the girls anxious gaze, Luo Xi pulled out the Dreamstaff. Chapter 189 - 163 The Mother-in-law Lord is Awesome! Blaze Spark! (6k））_2 Chapter 189: Chapter 163 The Mother-in-law Lord is Awesome! Blaze Spark! (6k_2He ruffled Weiers hair. "Sorry, all I can say is that Ill definitely be better next time." "You" Weiers pupils shrank. Luo Xi aimed the wand at his own temple. He looked at the old man who was also looking at him with a complexion that seemed a bit off. Was Noss wondering how he knew his identity? Luo Xis mouth curved up slightly, feeling a little better. Long live the great SL magic. Moonflow. ... [You have died] [Talent: MoonflowZero Point has been triggered] [Do you choose to revert back to todays midnight?] [Yes] [Traveler, your spirit has suffered severe confusion; all attributes of your role in the Dream World have decreased by 20%. (This negative state cannot be reverted by resurrection, and will last for 16 hours.)] After regaining consciousness, Luo Xi immediately pressed his hands against his head. Waves of intense pain made him feel as though everything was becoming dark and murky. However, the mental strain from two rewinds was still within his capacity to endure. If it didnt work this time, after death, he would have to rest back in reality for a period of time to refresh from this negative state before trying again. So, what should he do this time? Luo Xi thought of the Echo of Azure and the hat that was still in Spark. He opened the hatch of Spark and climbed in, under the watchful eyes of the guards. Seeing this, just like the first time, Zide dispersed his subordinates, telling them to go after Delkus. Once the soldiers had left, Luo Xi, with Cat Cat from the cockpit and the hat in hand, stepped out of the armor. He arranged the Echo of Azure next to the hat. "Lady Liya, are you there?" The hat did not respond. Liyas rune projection was still unaccounted for. She had spoken before when that self-destruct took out the Rat King, which meant that by that time, Liya had already somewhat revived. What had changed? Luo Xi compared the differences before and after the rewind of the previous day. After that rewind, he seemed to have informed the hat about something related to Spark and had also said something in the room to Shopkeeper Lena... Weier gently poked Luo Xis waist. "Whats wrong? Whats going on now?" "Im thinking." Luo Xi gave a smile to Cat Cat, who wasnt very clear about the situation, and looked up at the Winter Divine Tree that was swaying with falling snow. Noss would definitely not let them leave this place. Assuming they had no intention to flee, based on the situation during the first rewind, it would only be a matter of minutes before he arrived here. Then, what should he really do? [Note: Foolish Traveler, with your pathetic strength, instead of thinking about what to do, why not throw everything you could possibly use together? Maybe there will be some interesting chemical reactions?] The Damn Text meant... A look of realization crossed Luo Xis eyes. He stood up, opened the cockpit of Spark, and threw the hat and the wand into Spark, and after a thought, he also tossed in the box with six unfinished rune scrolls. My dear mother-in-law, were at the most critical moment. Could you please exert some strength? At that moment, the mans puzzled voice rang out, "What are you doing?" Luo Xi turned to look at him and smiled, "You want to talk about Spark with me, right? Mr. Zide?" "How do you know my name... never mind." Zide was taken aback, then laughed and said, "I was just curious about the current user of Spark. After I was promoted to commander, I thought about getting Spark back, but then I figured I might as well not. After all, its model is too outdated, its not fit for battle anymore. Even if I did take it back, it would just end up as a decorative piece at home." "You were able to make it come to life, it must be very happy." "Yes, shes very happy." Luo Xi nodded lightly. Weier looked confusedly at Luo Xi from the side. Why did she feel like this freak seemed to have some idea of what was happening right now? Sarch* The N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Inside the unseen cockpit of Spark. The cute little elf popped out, curiously poking the hat. Why did the master put the power source back in again? Why put it in and then not come in to operate Spark? And, whats this? Spark poked the blue wand. Suddenly, a change occurred. The wand, completely blue, lit up suddenly, and the gem at the top became a sky-like color, with an invisible, gently flowing breeze inside the cockpit. The hat next to it trembled slightly, with one bright white rune after another emerging from it. Above it, several spinning white rings formed, stacking onto each other, and finally, created a triple mysterious ring. Liyas ethereal figure emerged from it. But this time, the figure was so transparent that it was almost completely invisible. Startled, Spark quickly flew up to hit the cockpit door, shouting loudly, "Master!" But the voice was too faint, completely inaudible from outside, unable to reach Luo Xi. "Theres no need to panic." Liya looked at the soul will that was born from the old-fashioned power armor with surprise. If someone told her that a spirit could be born from a power armor with only sixty to seventy years of history, she would never believe it. "No one but the master can come inside Spark!" The little elf puffed up her cheeks and said angrily, "That woman was already in here for a while, and now youve come in... Ah! How come you look so much like her?!" Chapter 190 - 163 The Mother-in-law Lord is Awesome! Prairie Spark! (6k)_3 Chapter 190: Chapter 163 The Mother-in-law Lord is Awesome! Prairie Spark! (6k)_3Liyas fingers moved slightly, and Spark, as if pulled by some invisible string, shot into her hand, causing an alarmed shout: "Dont touch Spark! Only the master can touch Spark, Spark must stay clean!" Liya: "..." So the soul will born from that deranged power armor is also a weird one, huh? Since Luo Xi spoke with Lena yesterday afternoon about the Mouse King taking her staffEcho of Azure, along with Spark, she had already been forcibly modifying that section of her rune construction. Liya planned to use Rune Skill to try and call Echo of Azure back to her directly when the time came. However, with her current state, modifying the rune construction was extremely difficult, and at one point, it nearly caused her rune projection to collapse. This was why Luo Xi had been unable to arouse her. If Luo Xi hadnt combined the Furnace Core with Echo of Azure, she probably wouldnt have reacted at all. That guy, was his luck really that good, that he could actually bring that staff back? This time, it should be the last appearance of her projection. Liyas gaze seemed to pierce through the armors inner shell, looking towards the Divine Tree. What exactly did the real me do three years ago? Why did I do that? She didnt know her own objective, only that she indeed needed the True Canon, but not so desperately. Her original plan should have been to cooperate with Hiss Sheffield, use the labor of those Church of Truth people, and then capture them all at once. But why did I actually make a move against Hiss? Even now, Liya didnt believe that she would actually strike Hiss, even if he looked dreadful when pursuing her, bringing a masterpiece painting every few days and making her not want to walk the stairs to her workshop. Unless... there was something wrong with Hiss?! But what could be wrong with him? Forget it. Whats most important right now is that guy. As Echo of Azure floated up, it settled into Liyas hands, flickering gently. Liya looked to the left, her brow furrowing slightly. The Rat King, no, that should be called Snake King Noss. He actually parasitized Signo? sea??h th n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Spark in Liyas hand cried out (n), "Bad woman?! What are you going to do to Spark?! Let Spark go!" Liya smiled and flicked the little guys head, and surprisingly, given that she too was a projection, she was actually able to touch its physical form. "Interesting little guy, do you want to become stronger?" "Hmm?" Spark tilted its head. Liya said, "The trait of the Mutant Factor in your owners body is extremely pure fire, and wind can enhance fire, even if its just a weak flame. So, you too possess this trait, because you were born from his soul will." Spark asked in confusion, "How can I become stronger then?" Liya shook her head and said, "Its just a preliminary idea, Im not very sure myself. This version of me is just a fading rune projection, I couldnt complete it at the outset, let alone now. Do you want to try it?" Without hesitation, Spark said, "Lets do it, if Spark becomes stronger, wouldnt it be better able to help the master?" Liya paused for a second. This souls will was born because of Luo Xi, so in some ways, it inherited some of Luo Xis character traits. That young man with peculiar tastes is indeed a good person. . "Mr. Zide! Behind you!" The man shifted his body, rolling to the side. "Hey?" A light exclamation sounded. The old man, puzzled, shook his head and looked at Luo Xi. How did he notice me? Zide looked at the old man in amazement: "You are the Legion Commander... No, youre not him?! Who are you?" Luo Xi raised his head and glanced at Spark. Still no movement. Damn Text, you better not be spouting nonsense, right? [Note: "Hey, youre also acting blindly, arent you, Traveler?"] ...Cannot deny. Lets put Spark away for now. As long as the item is in the Dreamland bag, even if Noss kills him again, he cant take the item out. [Ding! The source energy within the item is fluctuating intensely, and it cannot be put into the Dreamland bag for the moment] Luo Xi: "?!" Noss frowned. But soon, his frown relaxed. No big problem, capture who needs to be captured, and kill the rest. Though this body is about to collapse, as long as he gets the True Canon and devours its strength before that happens, he will gain a new life. In an instant, a huge green serpent shadow devoured the three of them, just like that one time. Just when Luo Xi thought this was it again, suddenly, centered around Spark, the wind began to blow faster, forming a barrier of wind that deflected the serpent shadow away. Noss was dumbfounded, and after a moment, he roared furiously, "Liya! Youve been dead for three years! Yet you still come out to hinder me! Is this a trick you left behind?" No one could have imagined that the lost Yuan Qi, which hed possessed for three years without being able to use, was now being activated by someone else. Weier looked at the power armor beside her and whispered softly, "Mom..." Luo Xi couldnt help but shout, "Mother-in-law is awesome!" [Ding! Weiers Anger Value +20] A p suddenly appeared on Weiers forehead, and she then fiercely kicked Luo Xi. Who is this freak calling Mother-in-law? . Inside Spark. Chapter 191 - 163: The Mother-in-law Lord is Awesome! Prairie Fire Spark! (6k)_4 Chapter 191: Chapter 163: The Mother-in-law Lord is Awesome! Prairie Fire Spark! (6k)_4Liya held the Echo of Azure in the Void, constantly unleashing the staffs inherent skill while checking on the little Elf Spark, the Furnace Core, and the remaining six rune scrolls. "No good, the main construction lacks far too many runes. Why did I only complete this few back then? If only I had some of my runes that could be modified to fit in, that would be great. Yes, the rune seal in my workshop, maybe that could be crammed in... but its too far away." "What to do, what to do..." . Aina opened her eyes. Sister Lena had asked her to rest for a while, but she simply could not sleep now, just like the times she couldnt sleep when her sister was away. Sar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Suddenly, the Wolf Eared Lolitas wolf ears perked up. They need your help, little sister~ Who are you? Aina turned her head blankly. Who is talking? Your ability to discern and compress is effective. The runes here wont harm you, so even if you are weak, you can still act as a medium to carry them. If youre willing, place your hand on the wall, and leave the rest to us. "Is it to help Sister and the others?" Aina didnt hear a response, but she still placed her hand on the wall. Her tea gold eyes grew increasingly bright, as though a golden flame was burning within them. Throughout the workshop, on the walls and in the windows, those invisible runes started to converge here, continuously compressing through the body of the Wolf Eared Lolita and entering into her. The entire workshop shuddered slightly. The previously pitch-black windows lit up, and the tightly closed door also opened. Chutian, who had been teasing the mother with rabbit ears, was startled by the noise. Aina collapsed on the ground, her complexion turning extremely pale. "Whats wrong, Aina?" Lena rushed over, nervously picking up Aina. No matter what, Teacher Liyas daughter could not have another incident. Aina pointed her finger in the direction of the Divine Tree and said weakly, "Sister Laina, go, take Aina there, Mother, Sister Weier, Brother Luo Xi, they need Aina... hurry..." . Hisss! The wind barrier was mercilessly torn apart by the green snake shadow. Liya sighed softly. It was still a failure. Her form was almost vanishing. When she disappeared, the inherent skill of the Echo of Azure would stop, and without protection, the consequences for Weier and the others were imaginable. Hisss hisss hisss The wind barrier was completely torn open. Noss roared, "Liya, you and your darling daughter can go to hell together!" In an instant, the massive snake shadow split into four, and four smaller shadows thrust viciously towards Spark, Luo Xi, and Weier on the other side, even Zide was allotted one. Luo Xi instinctively moved to shield Cat Cat behind him. However, this time, Spark beside him, without his control and already teetering, leaned forward on its own initiative, protecting them under its massive frame. Bang Three shadows pierced Sparks armor simultaneously, and the intense corruption and venom almost instantly dissolved its exterior. "Luo Xi, catch!" Someone shouted from behind at that moment. Luo Xi turned back puzzled. Who would be shouting for him at a time like this? Who is it? Was that... Shopkeeper Lena? What was falling towards him? Lena had actually thrown something at him? Fxxk... thats Aina, isnt it? What on earth? In a split second, Luo Xi had a flood of thoughts flashing in his mind, then he stood up and caught the little Wolf Eared Lolita. In an instant, the compressed skill runes within Ainas body were invisibly guided out and entered the interior of the armor that had been destroyed in front of him. At the same time, the Echo of Azure within the armor trembled slightly. The rune halo on the helmet lit up faintly, and the ancient wind from Azure blew through the already shattered armored body. Luo Xi felt something warm enveloping his nose and face; he saw a cluster of fragmented light that was about to extinguish. The voice said with regret: "Master... its time to say goodbye." "This time, perhaps we dont have to say goodbye." Luo Xi reached out to touch the feeble firelight. As his hand touched it, it was enveloped by an invisible substance, which then wound around his body, spreading across his limbs. The warmth peaked. Even in destruction, a spark remained. Though small, it had not been extinguished. When the wind comes, it could be enough for a spark to start a blaze. Noss was stunned in the distance. What had happened in front of him? After the snake shadows dispersed, what appeared before him was not the pile of scrap metal, two corpses, and a captured cat he had anticipated. It was an unidentified humanoid object roughly two meters tall. Ice crystals burst forth as though the weapon was breathing, and the pitch-black flames, vague and almost non-existent, covered the steel body underneath. [Rune Power Armor - Starfire] [Quality: Purple (Epic+)] [Category: Rune-made objects] [Attributes: Unknown] [Description: A rune-made object reborn from destruction, an unreplicable masterpiece born from the fusion of a Creation Series skill practitioner and Mutation abilities.

An innocent soul, seemingly lifeless yet born through countless battles and transmissions of heritage, had been truly endowed with wisdom by Luo Xi himself. The intensely hot Mutant Factor served as both blood and motivation. In the end, an ancient breeze kindled that frail, tiny flame. And thus, the entire grassland was set ablaze. This was the goal Liya had diligently researched for years, yet had always been unable to achieve, and it had now been realized in an almost absurd manner on this very day. Rune Power Armor! It was also the unique rune armor exclusively for Luo Xi, unreplicable. Even if a new Rune Power Armor were made in the same manner, Starfire would remain unrivaled. At this moment, Luo Xi felt as though he was completely enveloped by something incredibly soft. From his head to his legs, every part of his body seemed to have merged with some kind of soft liquid. Warmth spread throughout his body, soothing his damaged spirit, tempting his will to sink into oblivion. Suddenly, a gentle voice emerged, sounding somewhat helpless. "The real me might never return." "I hope you will be kinder to them." "And, Aina is still young..." Luo Xi silently felt the voice at his ear fading away. This projection of Liya might truly never come back this time. [Note: So, what did the mother-in-law finally say? Isnt it a space that leaves infinite possibilities to the imagination~ Is it because Aina is still young, so one should make a move early, otherwise she will grow up?] Damn, Ive decided, from now on Ill call you the Born Text. At the same time, two different visions appeared before Luo Xi, one dark internal perspective and another from the outside. After observing for a short while, he watched in disbelief at the body he now possessed. Black-red flames leapt unconsciously from his steel-body; rhythmic black scales layered his arms, his bodys surface gleamed with a dark luster, and his metallic heart pulsed within him, bringing a torrential and fierce strength. He looked down at the Cat-eared girl holding the Little Lolita with Wolf ears, her expression utterly confused. Weier asked in doubt, "Are you... Luo Xi?" Why had that pervert who was clearly in front of her suddenly turned into this thing? Luo Xi nodded slightly. So the dark figure nodded too, and then, a blue staff suddenly slid out from the armors crotch area and landed in Weiers hand. Echo of Azure was merely a catalyst; now that its job was done, it was naturally expelled. Weier: "..." How odd. The girl was certain that the person inside was definitely that pervert, Luo Xi. Concerned, Weier asked, "Whats going on with you? Wait, you pervert, what are you about to do?!" Seizing the moment while the flames and smoke had not yet dissipated, Luo Xi picked up Weier and threw both her and Aina towards Shopkeeper Lenas direction. Then Luo Xi turned to face Noss and began examining the text.

In this dark perspective, a joyous whisper echoed as tiny golden light dots coalesced into a small figure. The little blonde Elf landed skillfully on Luo Xis shoulder, sat down with ease, and swung her small legs, which were now, for some reason, clad in black thigh-high socks. Luo Xi: "!" Why have the white stockings turned into black?!] [Note: Damn Traveler, with such a mighty enemy present, is this really the time to be thinking about this?! Could it be that you want to try a taste of chocolate-flavored ice cream first?] Who the hell wants to lick now! "Welcome back, Starfire," Luo Xi said with a smile, lifting his finger and lightly flicking the little ones forehead. Pop! A light sound. Starfire (ini) held her forehead, looking at Luo Xi with an injured expression: "Master, why did you flick Starfire?" Luo Xi: "?" Why was he able to touch her this time?! Previously, Starfire had also touched his body, but it felt like an illusion formed by light, whereas this time it was completely different, as if they had truly made contact. [Note: Damn Traveler, arent you a little excited about this? Too bad, you cant do much~] Damn Text, do you believe I will strike you first! "What are you? Stop fooling around with your tricks!" Noss growled, and in an instant, several enormous green serpent shadows emerged behind him, stabbing ferociously at Luo Xi. Noss was actually fairly stable emotionally. Although some things were beyond his expectations, at worst it would just require a bit more effort. He had painstakingly prepared for this day for so long in this place, even sacrificing his strongest hunting rat form. No one in Winter City was clearer about the situation than him. With Hisss son unable to wake up in the short term, there was no one left in the city who could oppose him. Chapter 193 - 164: Spark - Rampage Mode, The End of the Rat King (4k)_2 Chapter 193: Chapter 164: Spark - Rampage Mode, The End of the Rat King (4k)_2Even at the peak of Winter Citys prosperity three years ago, there were only four Tier Four Transcendents including him, all the others, like Delkus, were nothing but trash to him. Of the other two, one had died three years ago, and the other two were basically himself. The Church of Noah had already evacuated due to the Origin Disaster. How could he possibly lose?! From the start, Noss couldnt imagine a scenario where he would be defeated. This was the confidence that came from sheer strength. Whether they were Mutated Transcendents or Sublimated Venerators, anyone who stepped into Tier Four was akin to a walking natural disaster. Without the suppression of the Divine Tree, the exhibition of abilities from a Tier Four Transcendent would cause violent fluctuations in the Yuan Su of the heavens and earth. A Third-tier Transcendent could fight against it to some extent. Those below were no different from ordinary people. This is why Tier Three is a watershed in Transcendent strength and why Tier Three Origin Beasts are referred to as Calamities. In the wilderness, ordinary people coming across a Tier Three Origin Beast almost certainly lacked the strength to resist. However, to Nosss surprise, something unexpected happened again. The humanoid object simply threw a punch forward; a fist that seemed to shatter the air produced an explosive roar. It completely shattered the snake shadows he had released. The surging wind wave scraped a long ravine on the ground, swept past Nosss aged face, and continued towards the Winter Divine Tree. Finally, a silver light from the Divine Tree rose, easily dissipating the force. Nosss eyelids twitched involuntarily. Such intensity of strength... It was already surpassing Tier Three. You must understand, this was under the Winter Divine Tree, where any strength exceeding Tier Three would be ruthlessly suppressed by the Divine Tree. What on earth was this thing? That appearance, a body like steel, and the ice flowers formed from the heat expulsion behind... Was this power armor? That said, where did the old dilapidated armor go from before? Could it have transformed into this new form? S~ea??h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Impossible! This freakish thing was only about 2.2 meters tall. Even the latest models of power armor couldnt possibly be compressed this small. Moreover, what use is a small power armor? Against a large Origin Beast, it would only be mercilessly crushed. "Did Liya come up with this again? Trying to stop me even after shes dead! You really should die! Poisonous Tide!" Nosss pupils became a pure deep green, and rolling corrosive toxins flowed from his chest, transforming into an eroding tide sweeping over the humanoid object and devouring everything on the road in the process. His rat incarnation preferred to use sword skills, while his snake incarnation liked to employ Mutation abilities, a difference attributed to the split in his soul, also an effect of the dual Rat-Snake factor. Suddenly, a dazzling light shone. A method for using the "Rune Barrier" flashed through Luo Xis mind. Consequently, Luo Xi raised his hands, and Spark, too, lifted its hand; the steel arm grew breathing-like scales, a trait of the factor replicated and greatly amplified on the power armor. Countless white runes emerged like starlight, forming an unbreakable barrier, stopping the toxic tides onslaught. Immediately after, crimson-black flames ignited. Within the flames, the armor, like a proud king, looked straight at Noss without deviation, its red pupils flickering, seemingly with a hint of mockery. [Ding! Nosss Anger Value towards you +70] Noss had never experienced the sensation of being mocked for his inadequate strength. He stretched his hand towards a certain crack, and the dropped steel sword trembled, turning into a stream of light as it returned to his grasp from within the crack. Not liking sword skills didnt mean he couldnt use them. Sword skills were much more useful in this place than Skills and abilities suppressed by the Winter Divine Tree. "Die!" Noss, expressionless, stepped forward and slashed with his sword. His figure vanished, reappearing suddenly in front of the strange armor. His steel sword, infused with a grey edge, slashed towards the armors head. Bing! Amidst the crisp clash, a black-bladed ax, ablaze with black flames, emerged from the armors hand, colliding with the steel sword wrapped in fierce flames. Then both weapons were instantly knocked away, and both Noss and Luo Xi simultaneously raised their fists, smashing into each others bodies. A piercing roar burst forth. Spark seemed to be howling. The two retreated together, and amid the burning of the eerie green tide and black-red flames, the two figures collided once more; the colors black and red constantly clashed in the air. Noss couldnt help but burst into laughter, "Hahaha! You are indeed Liya, able to create such monstrous armor, which even in the entire Shining Country would be considered one of the most precious armors. But the controller is just a First-tier Mutated Transcendent, thinking of unleashing the full performance of the armor? Impossible!" "Die for me!" Nosss strength suddenly became several times greater than before. Sparks shoulder was immediately hammered into a deep pit, revealing part of Luo Xis body, but the destroyed section was immediately pulled back together by white runes. "It even has the ability to self-repair?" The more Noss looked, the more he felt this thing was truly monstrous. If Liya had managed to develop this thing back then and gave it to the Shining Country for mass production, perhaps the entire Pan Continent could be renamed the Shining Continent. Chapter 194 - 164: Spark - Killing Intent Frenzy Mode, The Demise of the Rat King (4k)_3 Chapter 194: Chapter 164: Spark - Killing Intent Frenzy Mode, The Demise of the Rat King (4k)_3[Ding! Restoration has consumed 3 minutes of the combat time limit.] "Master, come on!" Spark encouraged Luo Xi from atop his head, while Luo Xi himself was panting, staring at the menacing Rat King Nos. The Rat King was right, even if the performance of Spark now could face him head-on, but just relying on the abilities and combat awareness of his current First-tier, wanting to fight against such an existence, was still impossible in the end. Going on like this, when the armors active time passed, then he would become a lamb to be slaughtered. [Warm Reminder: The temporary synchronization is about to end.] [Do you want to use the Talent: Immersion (can be directly overlaid)?] Luo Xis eyes lit up.

When the Killing Intent Value is depleted, the attribute bonus will be canceled. The maximum duration for this talent cannot exceed ten minutes.] "Spark, initiate the furnace core overload!" "Roger that, Spark!" [Yuan Su Furnace Core overload initiation in progress (duration 3 minutes).] [Ding! Traveler, your Rune Power Armor has received a temporary bonus of all qualities +300%, this enhancement lasts 3 minutes. After the bonus ends, the Yuan Su Furnace Core will temporarily enter a dormant state.] Rat King Nos suddenly felt the strange armor in front of him become as if heavy, like fire flames gelling into endless, tangible Killing Intent, making him feel a chill on his back. In those flames, the structure of runes gently wove and twined around each other, with rings of runes emerging on the armor, flowing across the main structure of the armor, and operating at the highest capacity. This is[Rune Power Armor - Starfire - Killing Intent Frenzied State]! With an enhancement as high as 600% compared to the normal state. Luo Xi suppressed the nearly uncontrollable Killing Intent. If the Spark from before had a very slight synchronization lag with his actions, then this rune armor was now completely synchronized with his intentions. As if I were present in person. Clenching his iron fist, Luo Xi then charged at Old Man Noss face at a speed even he himself couldnt react to, striking like thunder. In an instant, the air wailed and collapsed, Nos was punched flying toward the Divine Tree, his old face contorting as if crawling with maggots, incredulously feeling the strength that had suddenly increased by an unknown multitude. Boom! Noss body was smashed deeply beneath the Divine Tree, and then Luo Xi followed up, pressing down his head, first with one punch, then another. Amidst the shrill howling, the Divine Trees Glory flickered, the Book of Snowice suddenly appeared, freezing the two beings beneath it who had desecrated it. But as the black and red flame rose, the freezing was dispelled, and Luo Xi continued to hammer the Rat King who was pressed against the tree trunk, forcibly holding him down and preventing him from leaving. There were only three minutes for this state to last. He had to seize every second. The Winter Divine Tree suddenly shook violently. Finally, Nos, with a look of terror, cried out, "Youre seeking death! Let go of me, if we keep this up, we will both be punished by the Divine Tree!" sea??h th N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Even if it wasnt the divine punishment from Noahs Tree, just the punishment from the Winter Divine Tree, a Tier Four Transcendent could lose their life. "I dont care!" Luo Xi laughed wildly, continuing to violently punch the filthy old rats face. Indeed, a Tier Four Transcendent had a pretty good feel to them when being hit. However, this time, I have finally let out the long-accumulated rage in my heart. Boom! In the midst of the chill and majestic light amassing for a long time in the Book of Snowice, the two figures below finally disappeared into the base of the Divine Tree, traceless. Several minutes later, ignoring Shopkeeper Lenas dissuasion, Weier ran over and stared blankly underground at the Divine Tree for a long time. Her gaze roved only over a black iron sphere the size of a washbasin, and a gentlemans hat that had fallen on top of the sphere. That pervert, Luo Xi, where was he? Where did he go? Weier started to feel a little panicked inside. That guy said he could resurrect even if he died. He should be alright, right? Chapter 195 - 165: The Real Liya! Extraordinary Divine Tree_1 Chapter 195: Chapter 165: The Real Liya! Extraordinary Divine Tree_1When Luo Xi was enveloped by that cold light, an irresistible chill penetrated his soul. The fist Luo Xi had thrown at the Rat King Noss elderly face suddenly froze in place. On the jet-black rune armor, countless white rune circles appeared as if trying to resist the invasion of the cold light. However, in the next moment, a massive force arrived from nowhere, striking Luo Xi on the back and instantly wiping out the remaining action time of Spark. The armor cracked, causing him to fall out of Spark and along with the similarly frozen Rat King Nos, he plummeted into the trunk of the Winter Divine Tree. Both of them disappeared just like that. The Book of Snowice flickered and flew back into the Divine Tree. After Luo Xis disappearance, the parts of Sparks armor fell off like liquid, eventually rejoining to form a black metallic sphere. A gentlemans hat with a white base and black brim slowly drifted down onto the sphere. This was the scene that Weier witnessed upon her arrival. ... [Ding!

Additionally: High-definition perspective.] [...] Luo Xi struggled to open his eyes. A wisp of rainbow light dimmed in his eyes. For some reason, he felt like he couldnt breathe, yet there was no sensation of suffocation in his chest. Where is this? Luo Xi sat up from the cold ground. In the bright light that seemed to infiltrate from nowhere, snowflakes fell, and tunnels filled with bizarre humanoid ice sculptures extended forward endlessly in front of his vision. Luo Xi: "?" Am I still dreaming? [Note: From a certain perspective, worthless Traveler, you are indeed dreaming right now, of course, you could also slap yourself to see if it hurts~] Damn text, who are you trying to fool! Im not an idiot, even if I slap myself in a synchronized state, it would still hurt, right? For some reason, Luo Xi felt somewhat relieved after reading the Damn Texts commentary. Wait a minute. What happened to Rat King Nos? Luo Xi remembered he was clearly pounding on that stinking rat, his mind set on hammering that thing to death, and then he suddenly lost consciousness. When he woke up again, he found himself here. If thats the case, I must have exited the dream synchronization by now, right? Why am I still in the Dream World? Luo Xi looked at the remaining synchronization time in the bottom right corner of the text [???]. Fxxk, isnt something a bit off here? [Note: There was a temporary synchronization that just occurred; since you, lazy dog Traveler, kept on being unconscious, we went ahead and confirmed it for you (???).] Luo Xi: "..." Dont think acting cute can make me overlook what you did! What the hell is really behind Damn Text?! Come out and let me have a look! Of course, Luo Xi only thought this in his mind. He glanced behind and his pupils suddenly constricted. The elderly version of Rat King Nos was lying motionless on the ground. He walked over and gave it a light kick. Noss body was as cold as stone. He should be dead, right? Suddenly, an opening appeared on the old mans head, and a green snake wriggled out, lunging fiercely at Luo Xi. [Ding! Your Fright Value +10] Luo Xi stepped back two paces. Just as the snake neared Luo Xi, its body froze, and it dropped down powerlessly, soon solidifying into ice on the ground. Its body kept transforming, and within a mere ten seconds, it turned completely into a pure ice sculpture. Tch. Luo Xi stepped on the ice snake and shattered it. This stinking rat still wanted to ambush him? He looked at the other ice sculptures. Could it be that all these ice sculptures formed in the same way? Luo Xi raised his hand to catch a snowflake drifting down from the cave wall and gently rubbed it. The snowflake on his hand transformed into a strange symbol, which then turned into tiny specks of light and completely dissipated between his fingers. [Ding! Your Shock Value +20] This... this is a rune, isnt it? Luo Xi suddenly looked up, touching the snowflakes everywhere, which all dissolved into fine runes when he touched them. This place was like a dream woven from runes, like snow and ice. Damn Text, where exactly is this? [Note: Worthless Traveler, guess?] Luo Xi pondered, "Could it be inside the Winter Divine Tree? But wasnt it said that there is no space inside the Divine Tree for living people to survive?" [Note: Foolish scrap of a Traveler, all I can say is that your bargain of a mother-in-law is truly a heaven-sent genius. Relying on her mastery of Rune Skills, she used the power of the Winter Divine Tree itself to carve out this place deep within it.] "So thats how it is... Damn it." Luo Xi said with a look of astonishment, "Do you mean to say that Cat Cats mother, Liya, she didnt really die?" To be honest, Luo Xi had already given up all hope of finding the real Liya on the battlefield before and having her turn the tables. Even Liyas Projection didnt believe she was still alive, so how was he to find her? Luo Xi looked towards the depths of the ice cave. If he kept walking from here, could he really meet Liya after getting out? [Ding! Your Fear Value +30] [Note: Scrap Traveler, what are you afraid of? It couldnt be that you did unspeakable things to her two daughters and are now scared to meet her, could it?] Thats not it! Anyway, the Liya here doesnt know what he did. Let me hide that hat first... Wheres my hat? Luo Xi touched his head, only to realize that not just his hat, but Spark too had vanished. Forget it... whats there for him to be afraid of? Luo Xi took a deep breath and stepped forward. Wait, it seems like theres no air here. Then, what was he breathing? ... In a narrow valley nearly entirely made of snow and ice. Snowflakes were still quietly falling, and the valley was filled with beautiful white petals and a sweet scent of flowers. At this moment, three people are idly sitting outside of a building carved from snow and ice, listening to the occasional noises from inside and playing with cards made of ice. A chubby man complained, "What on earth is Liya up to? I want to sleep." "I dont know," said a red-haired woman. The chubby man threw down a card: "Shes been tinkering with stuff no one understands every day; I wonder if its any use. If this keeps up, Hiss will soon actually advance to the next tier." "And your card game is useful?" the red-haired woman scoffed. "Its not like I have a choice... Fine, Im useless," the chubby man conceded without looking up to argue. "Liya is probably getting desperate." A middle-aged man with blond hair sighed, "Even though we clear those mutations caused by the Omen every day, we still cant suppress Hiss anymore. According to my calculations, he is only a little bit away from advancing to the next tier. The power leakage a few days ago might have already caused changes on the outside." "That bastard Hiss..." The chubby man sneered, "Who wouldve thought, that guy being attacked and thrust into the Divine Tree, I thought he was in trouble, but he ended up turning it to his advantage. It was lucky Liya reacted quickly, or he wouldve completed the ritual of the Omen, and he would become a walking disaster. Then everyone would have to die." "How did the Shining Country vet this? How could they let someone from the Disaster Church control the Divine Tree? And to think it got passed down for at least five generations?" "Maybe Hiss became the bishop of the Disaster Church after he became the City Owner," the red-haired woman suggested. "Thats possible... But I find that even harder to understand. Why would you abandon being the controller of a Divine Tree to worship the Origin Disaster?" A cold female voice interjected, "The Origin Disaster and the Eternal World Tree have inherently deep ties. Worshipping the Eternal World Tree and worshipping the Origin Disaster doesnt have much of a fundamental difference, only in human desire and decadence." "Liya." The middle-aged man turned to look at the woman who had come out, dressed in a light blue coat, and asked, "How did it go?" The woman shook her head slowly, "Hes been preparing for too long, even though he cant act now, we cant find and unravel all his arrangements, and we also cant act recklessly." "Yeah, Im about to go numb. Ive been trapped here for so long," The chubby man couldnt help but cry, "My kids and wives are waiting for me to return. What if I go home one day and find one of my wives has remarried? What would I do then?" The middle-aged man said speechlessly, "Those hundred or so brothers who died didnt make a peep, and here you are blubbering. Shut up." Initially, Liya pulled nearly a hundred people in at once, and now there were just a few of them left. Besides some members of the Church of Truth who were hidden and personally slaughtered by them, it could be said that everyone else here was sacrificed and died. The middle-aged man looked at Liya and asked, "How much longer do you estimate we have?" S~ea??h the N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Liya shook her head, "It could happen at any time." She looked to the sky with a touch of worry. It was a sky that was spreading with countless black fissures, with dark colors occasionally appearing, only to be purified away by white light. If she hadnt miscalculated the time, this day should be the Festival Day of the Winter Divine Tree. She could only hope that the two children, Weier and Aina, received the runic information of the Mansion of the City Lord she had remote-edited at the last moment, and that they would stay far from Winter City. Of course, she also knew that Noss definitely wouldnt give up; he would continue to scheme for the True Canon, pushing things to a point of no return. But she was really out of options. In fact, in addition to the runic messages she left for Weier and Aina, she also hid some messages within the runes of her staff. If someone from the Church of Noah saw it, they would understand the situation here and know about Hisss attempt to use the Winter Divine Tree as part of his advancement to Tier Fivethe Snowice Disaster. But all this time had passed, and the Shining Country still hadnt sent anyone... Was it because the staffs were too poor in quality, so the information never spread? It had been three years. Or did someone from the Church of Noah deliberately pretend not to see? Slap! Suddenly, a heavy thumping sound caught everyones attention. They looked towards the source. A humanoid figure fell from the cliffside hole, lying o(xnx)o on the hard ice surface, seemingly knocked unconscious. The chubby man looked baffled, "Thats a person, right? It is, right? Thats a human, isnt it?" "Seems like a person." Dressed in a light blue cotton coat, Liya floated like a breeze to the side of the figure, puzzled, "Strange, how did he get in here? I sealed the True Canon, and even if Noss removed the seal, we should have all gotten out together instead of someone being shoved in... And a mutant patient, with Dragon Species factors? How did he get in..." Chapter 196 - 166 The oppressive feeling brought by Mother-in-law! Luo Xi(;???;)! Scared!_1 Chapter 196: Chapter 166 The oppressive feeling brought by Mother-in-law! Luo Xi(;???;)! Scared!_1 "Ow, ow..." Luo Xi pressed his head and sat up, his consciousness gradually clearing. Damn, this broken place is a total trap. After walking for a while in that ice cave and seeing a bright light, he thought he had found the exit. He didnt expect to step out only to be attacked by a bunch of strange runes and then directly fall from a towering ice cliff. With his current physique of 55 points, a fall from several tens of meterseven head downshouldnt have been a big deal, but many of those runes were aimed at his head, knocking him out cold. "Where is this?" Luo Xi looked around and found that he wasnt below the ice cliff outside the cave but appeared in a room, currently lying on a wooden bed. Someone brought him here? Who? Luo Xi got up and rolled off the bed. Squeak The door to the room opened. A red-haired woman peered in; seeing Luo Xi up, she immediately shouted outside, "Hes awake!" Moments later, a fat man rushed in and in Luo Xis baffled expression, warmly hugged his body and even touched the horn on his head. "Damn! Finally, a new living person! I cant believe Im feeling so intimate seeing Mutant Patients now. Brother, how did you get in here? Can you take us out?" The red-haired woman said in exasperation, "Ricker, dont touch people like that! Its disgusting, okay? And didnt you use to hate Variants?" "Im not disgusted! Variants or whatever, if they can take me out, theyre my family!" "I meant the other person will feel disgusted!" Luo Xi: "..." He looked at the two talents on the text. [Ding! Talent: Mutual Exclusivity has been triggered, Rickers Favorability towards you -50] [Ding! Current Rickers Favorability towards you: 50 (excitement from not seeing a living person for many years)] His Favorability went down by fifty and theres still fifty left. Absolutely ridiculous. How come there are so many Gays in Winter City, and he happened to encounter them all? Then, a somewhat familiar voice rang out. "Ricker, if theres nothing to do, dont get in the way. Uli, you all go out first, I want to have a talk with him alone." This voice... Luo Xi shivered, stiffly lifting his head to look over. The beautiful face, strikingly similar to Weiers, appeared before him again. Liya! This actual Liya wore a light Blue cotton jacket, but the proud peaks under the thick cotton couldnt hide the undulations on her chest. Her black hair fell over her shoulders, and a pair of amethyst-like eyes evaluated Luo Xi, devoid of any warmth. This was Weiers mother, Liya, the intangible, untouchable Projection, a larger version of Cat Cat! [Note: Certain parts are indeed much larger than that poor Cat-eared Girl~] You vulgar thing, Damn Text, I was talking about the overall size! "Okay, then lets go find Mr. Charles and continue playing cards." The red-haired woman forcefully pulled the somewhat reluctant fat man out of the room and shut the door. Liyas cold gaze fell on Luo Xi as she asked, "Who are you? How did you get in here? Whats the situation outside right now?" Luo Xi: "0Q!" Getting straight to the point right away. This Liya seems quite fierce. Even the sense of oppression was greater. Is it because that rune Projection was just a Projection after all? [Note: Garbage Traveler, have you considered reclassing as a Cao Zei and taking down your real mother-in-law? Then you could tell Weier and Aina, from now on you two should call me dad~] Fxxk! Damn Text, you really dont want me to live, do you? This Liya doesnt have the memories of that Projection toward him; her Favorability must undoubtedly be zero. S~ea??h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. If I say something I shouldnt, I fear I might vaporize on the spot. Luo Xi hesitated for a moment, then said, "Well... I dont know how I got in here, I just suddenly ended up here, and when I opened my eyes, I found myself in an ice cavern, and not long after walking, I fell from the ice cliff..." He rambled on with a bunch of words. "Ice cavern? Oh, did you come out from there? From that ice tomb..." Liya sighed with a complicated expression. This young man might be hiding something, but he likely wasnt lying. After all, as a First-tier Mutant Patient with such weak strength, it would have been impossible for him to do anything to the Winter Divine Tree. Luo Xi continued, "However, I do know whats happening outside. Theres a Variant named Noss who wanted to take the Truth of Divine Tree from the Winter Divine Tree, but he failed." Liyas pupils shrank, "Noss failed?" Luo Xi nodded. "Thats good." Liyas hanging heart eased a little. This news was very important to her. Her biggest fear was Noss resorting to anything to break her seal. With Weier being her blood-related daughter, her blood and life could be used to reverse-engineer her rune seal. Combined with her lost Yuan Qi, it could even guarantee the seals break. If Noss had let them out now, it would mean he had already disposed of Weier... Since she wasnt sent out, it suggests that Weier might still be alive. As for what their situation is like. This young man might know something. Its worth asking him. [Ding! Lady Liyas gratitude towards you +10] [Ding! Lady Liyas favorability towards you +5] Lady Liyas gaze toward Luo Xi also became slightly warmer. Luo Xi: "..." Favorability increased! This big Cat Cat doesnt seem as aloof as she appears. This is more like the Lady Liya I saw in the rune projection. Lady Liya softly asked, "How did Noss fail? And how do you know all this?" It was highly unusual for this young man, being a Mutant Patient himself, to have entered Winter Citys Inner City and to have approached the Divine Tree. This guy definitely has some issues, or theres something wrong with Winter City. After thinking for a moment, Luo Xi said, "What if I said that in the end, I smashed him to pieces? Would you believe me?" "What did you say?" Lady Liya looked at Luo Xi with an expression that said, Do you think Im an idiot? Luo Xi: "..." He knew Lady Liya definitely wouldnt believe him. Honestly, if their roles were reversed, Luo Xi wouldnt believe it either. "How should I put this..." Luo Xi pondered whether he should first mention that he knew her daughters. But he didnt know how to start. There was always a feeling that once he brought it up, Lady Liya might judge him on the spot. "Forget it." Lady Liya shook her head, "Its good that Noss failed. I guess so, with people from Signo and the Church of Noah outside, Noss shouldnt be able to cause too much of a commotion. Your arrival here might just be an accident, much like how I managed to carve out this space here years ago. The world is vast; accidents are bound to happen." "Since Noss has failed, theres only one thing left for me to consider now. The same goes for you; now that youre here, no matter the reason, you cant just leave freely." Luo Xis body stiffened, and he asked as if he didnt know, "Um, may I ask who you are first?" "My name is Liya, Liya Sofia." Lady Liya glanced at the black-red dragon horns on Luo Xis head and said, "And you? A member of the Red Dragon Species with Mutation Syndrome. The last time I saw one was when I met my youngest daughters mother. Are you one of the new residents who moved to Grey Stone Street in recent years?" "Im Luo Xi. Ive only lived in Grey Stone Street for a few days..." Luo Xi feigned surprise, "Lady Liya, you already have daughters? I had thought you were not even twenty years old." [Note: Garbage Traveler, your honeyed words are too sweet; are you planning on wooing her with flattery? Sadly, your charm only works on beast-eared Little Lolitas~] Damn Text, shut up! Didnt you see Im just trying to please her to prevent her from vaporizing me in a fit of anger? Women around thirty or older are usually quite pleased if you guess their age to be a decade younger. In truth, Liya does appear to be around twenty something. Its just that the mature, peach-like quality in her demeanor doesnt make one think of her as an inexperienced young girl. Lady Liya smiled, "Yes, I have two lovely daughters. By the way, has anything else happened outside? Like... the aftermath of the Origin Disaster, or a precursor to it?" Luo Xi paused, then nodded, "Yes, first came the aftermath of the Locust Disaster Lakast, followed by signs of an impending Snow Disaster Mislat. The Variants from Grey Stone Street have been sent into Winter Citys Inner City these past few days, and we were frozen solid for nearly two days by the Snow Disaster." Lady Liyas expression darkened, "I see... No wonder a Mutant Patient like you has turned up here. Damn it, with the precursor to the Snow Disaster surfacing, can it truly not be suppressed any longer?" "Speaking of which, do you know a pair of sisters from Grey Stone Street? One is from the Cat Clan and the other from the Wolf genus. They are both my daughters, and the older one looks very much like me." "I do know them..." [Note: Of course, youve already met them! If it werent for a few days delay, they were almost swayed to become the Travelers life partners~] Damn Text, shut up! "Since you know them." Lady Liya looked at Luo Xi with an almost-smiling face: "Then you should have recognized me the moment you saw me, right? I felt something off about your gaze when you first saw me. Why didnt you speak up sooner? What is your relationship with them?" [Note: Hehe, Garbage Traveler, nows your chance to call her Mother-in-law!] Luo Xi: "..." He braced himself and said, "We are friends." "Friends, huh." Just as Luo Xi thought Lady Liya would continue to press for answers, she sighed softly, "They must be alright then?" Luo Xi was taken aback, then nodded. "Have they been bullied at all?" Lady Liya spoke gravely, "My biggest regret now is not having arranged a proper way out for them three years ago. I was too arrogant, just as I was sixteen years ago, and thats why Ive ended up in this situation today." "If one day I can solve the problems here and get out, I will certainly repay tenfold all the grievances theyve suffered to those who have wronged them." Luo Xi: "(((;???;)))!" Scared (jpg.) Now he dared not say anything more. [Note: Garbage Traveler, hurry up and tell your Mother-in-law that youve managed to coax her youngest daughter into becoming your future wife, and youre nearly there with the older one too. Do you want one dowry or two?] Damn Text, why are you so eager for me to die! Chapter 197 - 167 Liya: This young man has a decent character (4k)_1 Chapter 197: Chapter 167 Liya: This young man has a decent character (4k)_1"Weier and the others..." Liya still wanted to ask Luo Xi about her two daughters when, at that moment, the fat man who had come in earlier pushed the door open and rushed in, speaking in an urgent tone: "Liya, another large patch of snowfall has appeared! Hisss shadow is almost covering the sky over there, and there are many cracks in the sky. Isnt this place of yours going to collapse?" "Dont panic, Ill have a look." Frowning, Liya walked to the window and lightly touched the opaque ice window. The moment her hand touched the ice window, the icy pane instantly turned into countless tiny rune light spots, dissipating between her palms. Whoosh Instantaneously, the bone-chilling wind, carrying heavy snow, swept into the room like blades of ice, slicing open Luo Xis clothes and even cutting off a small section of his hair. "What the hell?" Luo Xi immediately raised his hand to shield his face. "Sorry, I forgot about you." Liya tossed a ball of white light, condensed with numerous runes, back at Luo Xi, and when the light touched him, he felt his clothes being reassembled. The runes filled the gaps in the cotton, rewove the fabric, and moments later, he was clad in a brand-new coat. As the wind and snow hit his coat, they were deflected away from his body on both sides, not touching him at all. [Ding! Your clothes (Ordinary) have been enhanced and have temporarily upgraded to clothes (Rune Enhanced Version) (Effect duration: 48 hours)] [Clothes (Rune Enhanced Version)] [Quality: Green (Good) (Temporarily Improved)] [Category: Daily Necessity] [Attributes: Cold-resistance +300%, can ignore the effects of ordinary strong winds and heavy snow. Wearing it in a blizzard will continuously keep the wearer warm.] [Description: A great coat for cold-resistance. The effects of strong winds and heavy snow will reduce the effective duration of its use. Once the runes power dissipates, it will revert to its original form.] Luo Xi: "!" This casual act of creation was truly like a miracle. Think about it, the Rune Power Armor that allowed Luo Xi to beat the Rat King from the Furnace Core to the other componentscould also be said to have been conjured by Liya, and that was only a projection with part of Liyas memories. How formidable was the real Liya? This much was clear. The fat man walked up to Luo Xi, slapped him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "This is what a Creation Series Skill Practioner is like, amazing, right? But dont think all Creation Series Skill Practioners are this powerful. Its just that Liya is exceptional." "Liyas original attainment in rune skills was already top-notch. These past three years, shes been dealing with the Divine Trees power every day. Her knowledge in runes has become much stronger than ever before. Even this entire house was made from runes." "Back then, when Hiss let her open a private workshop in the Mansion of the City Lord, it wasnt just because of her beautyhe had his eyes on this method of hers. But nobody expected that Hiss had such a deep hidden agenda..." Luo Xi: "?" What deep hidden agenda? Hiss? Without turning her head, Liya looked toward the distance and said, "Dont listen to his nonsense. I just utilized the high concentration of Yuan Su overflowing here from the Winter Divine Tree, guided and transformed it a bit. If its free, why not use it? If it were outside, I wouldnt be so extravagant as to waste power." So its not that she couldnt do it, but that she didnt want to waste power? [Note: Garbage Traveler, did you see that? Thats what a true powerhouse is. Arent you going to kneel down quickly and pay homage to your future mother-in-law? Werent you shouting happily before?] He dared not... He did not want to shout, damn it! And what the hell was happening now? A strong sense of crisis rose in Luo Xis heart, as if the end of the world could come at any moment. He walked up to Liyas side and looked up into the distance. Luo Xis pupils instantly constricted. What was that? At the horizon of this ice valley, there appeared a figure as if made from drifting snowflakes, its outline humanoid, with a sinister crescent-like smile on the mouth. Many ice flowers had bloomed on the nearby ice, swiftly spreading and growing, quickly encroaching upon a large area of the ground, before coming to a stop at a white Rune Barrier. "Still cant suppress it." With a soft sigh cutting through the snowstorm, Liya said, "The runes Ive altered can no longer affect him. In no more than two days, Hisss advancement will be complete. He will use the Winter Divine Tree as his chrysalis to emerge, beckoning the Snowice Disasters gaze, offering the lives of hundreds of thousands to become a Tier Five Snowice Disaster." "What?" The fat man immediately became frantic, exclaiming, "Really? Only two days left? I dont want to die! My wife and kids are still waiting for me to come back home, Liya, you have to save us with your unbeatable Rune Skill!" Liya threw a cold glance at the fat man, "Shut up! How about I throw you over there to delay his advancement?" The fat man clammed up at once. Luo Xi was thoroughly stunned. Someone was going to use the Winter Divine Tree as a chrysalis? Snowice Disaster? sea??h th novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. What the hell was all this? Werent Liyas and Hills adoptive father already dead? How come someone was still eyeing the Winter Divine Tree? Wait, Hiss... that name, isnt that the old City Owner? [Ding! Your Shock Value +50] [Note: Garbage Traveler, arent you surprised?] Goddamn surprised? Its more like a scare, damn it! Chapter 198 - 167 Liya: This young man has a decent character (4k)_2 Chapter 198: Chapter 167 Liya: This young man has a decent character (4k)_2It was just like finally achieving the true end in a game, only to be informed by an online guide that there was a hidden ending, which might be a surprise during gaming but was now pure terror for Luo Xi. After great difficulty, they had finally killed Noss, the disgusting rat, and even met Weiers and Ainas mother, confirming she was still alive. If they could all get out together, then it would be a happy ending. (Probably) But whats the deal with Hiss? Luo Xi turned to look at Liya, observing a face that resembled Cat Cats and quickly realizing something. Three years ago, Liya had agreed with the old City Owner to catch all those with ill intentions in a sweep after the Festival. She had already come into contact with the True Canon of the Winter Divine Tree but at the last moment, she sealed the True Canon away and trapped a group of people inside the Winter Divine Tree with her. All the changes occurred after the former City Owner Hiss was thrown into the Winter Divine Tree. Could it be that Liyana sensed something back then, which is why she made that choice? Luo Xi directly asked, "Lady Liya, I have a question. Why did you do that back then?" Before Liya could respond, the fat man interrupted from the side, "There arent so many whys. Its all the doing of that old dog Hiss. He had a good position as the City Owner, yet he became a bishop of the Disaster Church. If Liya hadnt reacted quickly and taken us with her to wreak havoc on his advancement, no one would have been able to stop his ascension to Tier Five, which would have brought a Snowice Disaster that would freeze all lands near Winter City, leaving no one alive." The red-haired woman walked in and said, "Indeed, we owe our lives to Sister Liya, or we wouldve died long ago." Liya looked at the woman and silently said, "Uli, you... you dont blame me?" "Actually, theres still a little... ah." The fat man mumbled, only to be kicked aside by the red-haired woman. "Why should we blame you?" The blond middle-aged man also came in and added, "Even those brothers who died wouldnt blame you. If we had allowed Hiss to ascend smoothly, that would be our dereliction of duty. Instead, you made the choice that had nothing to do with you. You could have chosen to ignore the situation in Winter City, but you still made that choice." Liya remained silent. Nothing to do with her? In fact, she did hold some responsibility, The Omen of Hisss ascension was partly related to the Winter Divine Tree and partly to certain individuals. She thought she was using the people from the Church of Truth, but Hiss was also using her, pretending to madly pursue her to lower her guard in other areas. When several members of the Church of Truth ambushed Hiss and smashed him into the Divine Tree, Liya easily obtained the True Canon and thats when she realized something was wrong. On the True Canon, there was an unidentified Omen, which Liya had once seen in a desolate small town that had been completely sacrificed, the handiwork of the Disaster Church. The Calamity Walkers or the envoys of the Origin Disaster, these were the aliases of the Transcendents within the Disaster Church, an even older and long-forgotten sect than the Church of Truth. It was only after coming here that Liya deduced the path Hiss wanted to take for his ascension. Hiss was a Tier Four Lord of Snowstorm, and if he were to ascend to Tier Five Snowice Disaster, it would definitely attract the attention of Snow Disaster Mislat. At that time, Liya had considered simply leaving. Even if Hisss ascension was swift, it would take at least one day, ample time for her to take her daughters and leave. Yet... she couldnt bear to see so many people die just like that. Not just the thirty thousand people of Winter City, but once the real Snow Disaster occurred, people in towns and villages within nearly a hundred kilometers would die. In the past three years, Liya had often thought that if she had been a heartless person, she might at this moment be leading her daughters towards another country, living a peaceful life at the very least. Luo Xi muttered from the side, "Um, Lady Liya, may I ask, what did you originally want to do with the True Canon of the Divine Tree?" The loss of memory in Liyas Rune Projection could only mean that Liya deliberately hid that part. Liya glanced at Luo Xi and said, "I wont tell you, but how did you know I wanted the Divine Trees True Canon? Even Weier and the others shouldnt know." Luo Xi: "..." He suspected that if he kept asking questions, Liya might see right through him, down to his underwear. The fat man cried with a tearful face, "Can we only watch Hiss advance in Tier? Liya, you should have some backup plans, right?" Sar?h the N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Theres nothing more I can do. Ive done everything that I could. The rune world that I constructed is also at its limits, and those traces born from his omens cannot be erased anymore." Liya looked toward the blurred human silhouette at the icy valleys horizon and said gravely, "Unless someone from the Shining Country intervenes, but its been three years, and no one has come to check. This means that the message I sent out back then was either not discovered or was deliberately intercepted." The middle-aged man sighed softly, "Perhaps, this is the fate of us people here, that ice tomb that buried them is also our final resting place." The red-haired woman, the fat man, the middle-aged man, all fell silent. In the three years, nearly a hundred people have died in this rune space. Many died while trying to erase those traces of the omens, while many others starved to death. Now the few that were left were all above Tier Three in strength because Transcendents of Tier Three could maintain their bodys energy circulation through the flow of Yuan Su and survive without food. Liya could use rune skills to create food, but rune skills were just a type of skill, not truly capable of creating food. The genuine act of creation belonged to the realm of gods. "Is there really no other way?" Suddenly, Luo Xis voice echoed insistently through the bitterly cold wind and snow, drawing the attention of the four to him. Luo Xi looked at the text prompt that appeared before his eyes. [Ding! Traveler, you have triggered the free mission: Snowice Disaster] [Mission Brief: Inside the Winter Divine Tree, you have met Liya who died three years ago, and you also understand the reason behind her actions three years ago. The old City Owner, Hiss, wishes to use the Winter Divine Tree as an ovipositor to offer up all of the people and Transcendents of the entire city to the coming Snow Disaster, in order to become a Tier Five Snowice Disaster. Traveler, what can you do when youre involved in this?] [Hint: This mission is connected to the legendary level missionA Chance Encounter with Snow Disaster Mioslite. Your actions may trigger the legendary mission to start prematurely, end, or be canceled.] [Reward: PathwayLord of Snowstorm transformed into Snowice Disaster omen, random talent extract chance x1] [Note: Pathetic Traveler, feeling powerless and lost, unsure of what to do? Heres a hint for you: feed that thing with your body, and perhaps you can break the deadlock here~ Saving your future mother-in-law and gaining her favor begins this moment! (Or, Traveler, perhaps you should consider the path of Cao Zei? Being a mere loli-con with animal ears holds no future.)] The Damn Texts mockery could be mostly ignored. However, when the Damn Text gave suggestions, Luo Xi felt it was trustworthy; who knew what was lurking behind it. As for feeding something with ones body, anyway, their lives as Otherworld Travelers in the Dream World werent worth much. Liya frowned and asked, "Do you have a way?" She did not believe that a young newcomer could have any methods to prevent Hisss advancement. Even she could only rely on various rune skills she had researched to erase those traces of the omens within the Divine Tree, which were now no longer containable. Luo Xi flipped right out the window, "I dont know, but we have to try something. Im going to check outside first." The middle-aged man sighed, "This young Varient seems quite good, pity about the bad luck, coming here." Liya watched Luo Xis departing figure, nodding, "His character seems quite good." Three years passed in an instant. Weier and the others have also made friends, huh. ----- ------ Already into the shadow hall, hehe Chapter 199 - 168: Lady Liya, if you’re back home, please say hello to your daughters for me~_1 Chapter 199: Chapter 168: Lady Liya, if youre back home, please say hello to your daughters for me~_1Luo Xi walked to the edge of the white rune barrier and bent down to pluck an ice flower from beyond the boundary. [Ice Flower (Lord of Snowstorm trace left by the advancement to Snowice Disaster)] [Description: It possesses an extreme freezing intent, and touching it will solidify a person. Clearing a sufficient number of Ice Flowers can effectively slow down the advancement speed.] [Note: Damn Traveler, are these flowers pretty? Do you want to pick a couple to collect?] The fat mans voice arose from behind, "Dont touch! Thats an Omen left behind by Hisss advancement! Youll die!" Luo Xi glanced at the text and, after hesitating for a moment, still reached outwards. The damn text had said that it was possible to pick and collect, so that must mean, even if he were to touch it, he wouldnt die directly because of that. "Damn! Why doesnt this young man listen?!" The fat man immediately wanted to go out to prevent Luo Xi from courting death. At that moment, Liya raised her hand to stop the fat man and shook her head, saying, "Dont bother with him. The Mutant Factor in his body seems to have an extremely hot property, possibly above a king-level Origin Beast factor. If thats the case, even if he is only a First-tier Mutated Transcender, his resistance against those Snowice traces will be stronger than any of yours." The fat man was stunned on the spot: "A king-level Origin Beast factor? Really?" The factor from a Tier Five Origin Beast, regardless of its Category, is calculated in terms of danger to the human body in days, and many who are infected only last half a year at most, falling into mindless monsters as the Mutation deepens. After all, Mutation is, to some extent, a form of Sublimation, a Sublimation towards the Origin Beasts. How easy can it be to become a king-level Origin Beast from an ordinary person? Liyanas gorgeous purple eyes watched Luo Xis back, equally showing a hint of confusion. In her field of view, the scorching temperature in the young mans body was tamely remaining within his body without any sign of violence or chaos. This did not match her understanding of Dragon Species factors or a king-level Origin Beast. The stability of the Dragon Species factor was already poor, and coupled with the possibility of a Tier Five factor, combining these two was a frightening thought. Then, when Luo Xis hand touched the ice flower, a chilling cold traveled up his arm, [Ding! Your Cold Value +30] [Ding! Your Cold Value +100] The white frost visibly spread across his body, and the rune coat Liya had knitted was no help against this level of cold. Suddenly, Luo Xis heart began to beat rapidly, his blood circulated at high speed, and his body temperature autonomously increased. A blotch of black and red flames burned briefly on the surface of his skin, quickly expelling that coldness completely. That ice flower also broke into pieces with a delicate crackling sound. Luo Xi tried to move his hand. This sensation was somewhat similar to the effects caused by the Snow Disaster. However, the freezing caused by the Snow Disaster Mislat was something Luo Xi could recover from in a short time, so the impact of such an ice flower seemed to be just a minor issue for him. Luo Xi took a look at the countless ice flowers covering the hillsides, their number still increasing. There were too many. And Liya had also said that it was impossible to clear them all. "Is this the reason you think you have a way?" Liya, somehow, had floated to Luo Xis side and looked at him, saying, "Your attributes are the complete opposite extremes of Hiss. If you were a Tier Four Transcendent, perhaps you really could break the situation here; but alas, youre just a First-tier Mutated Transcendent." Of course, what Liya didnt say was that considering the state Luo Xi was in, being corrupted by the factor of a Tier Five Dragon Origin Beast, it was a luxurious hope for him to even become a normal Third-tier Mutated Transcendent. "Im aware of that." Luo Xi pointed to the massive silhouette of the Snowice Human Figure in the distant sky and said, "Lady Liya, can you take me there? If dying is inevitable, I would like to do whatever I can." Sear?h the N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Liya: "...." Facing this young man she had known for less than half an hour, Liya found she could no longer see through him, couldnt comprehend what was inside his heart. "Arent you afraid to die?" "Not afraid... Well, maybe a little," Luo Xi paused, saying, "That sensation of consciousness falling into profound torpor, once youve experienced it once, you wont want to go through it a second time. But people tend to get used to it; when you get used to death many times, you even have the courage to take your own life." This was the reason why Luo Xi, on his second loop, dared to use the Dreamstaffs additional skill to commit suicide when he realized he was trapped in a dead end. [Ding! Liyas Confusion Value +20] "What getting used to death..." Liya was somewhat dumbfounded. The way you talk, its as though youve died many times before? Could this young man have gone mad? A sympathy shone through Liyas gaze. In the ranks of Mutant Patients, there were not a few whose brains became foolish after being corrupted by the Mutant Factor. Luo Xi felt somewhat uneasy under Liyas gaze. He coughed lightly and said, "Anyway, if Im going to die either way, I want to do something. If Hiss completes his advancement, then the Snow Disaster Mislat will truly descend, right? The mere omen of the Snow Disaster nearly froze the entire Winter City for nearly two days. If the actual Snow Disaster arrives, then Weier and Aina outside... theyre doomed too... They have awaited you, Lady Liya, for three years now; dont you want to see them?" Liya shook her head: "Of course I do, but even if I get you there its useless. Thats just a Projection of Hiss, I have no idea where his real body is within the Divine Tree. In these three years, the Winter Divine Tree has become his chrysalis, and now only this small piece of Rune Space that I created remains as the last sanctum." "So, as long as this place youve created isnt destroyed, he wont succeed?" "Yes." Liya looked at the fragmented sky, her expression somewhat sorrowful, "But thats all I can do now; with only two days left, the portents of the Snow Disaster have arrived, Hiss is already half a Snowice Disaster, I cant stop him anymore." "Forget that absurd idea of sending you there; you should go back inside the house. I need to think about what to do when this place completely collapses." After saying this, Liya turned to leave. "Wait here for everything to completely collapse? Watch that Hiss ascend?" Luo Xi said softly, "Isnt this still evasion and giving up, Lady Liya? Are you... are you really willing to give up on your daughters?" Liyas footsteps halted, and in that instant, she turned back, her gaze at Luo Xi was so cold. The fat man, who lay stunned on the windowsill, exclaimed, "Damn! What did that Variant youngster say to Liya? She seems very angry; he didnt speak rudely and harass Liya, did he? I wouldnt even dare to do that!" The redhead woman glanced at the fat man, "Dont think Ive forgotten that you were frozen by her for ten days three years ago for teasing Liya!" Liya looked at Luo Xi quietly, "You know nothing. Ive never thought of giving up on them." [Ding! Liyas favorability towards you -5] Luo Xi didnt care about the dropping favorability, his face carrying a sincere and warm smile, "Weier and Aina have been waiting for you for three years. You left the night before Weiers birthday, and today is exactly her 16th birthday. Dont you want to make up for the gifts you havent given her over these years?" "And then what?" Liya asked coldly, "Do you have any good suggestions?" She thought the young man knew nothing but dared to make grand claims before her. Hiss had become half a Snowice Disaster, what could a weak Variant like him possibly do? Luo Xi pointed to the human silhouette in the distant sky with a smile, "So, send me over there, and maybe that will solve it, huh?" Liya held her forehead, "Have you really gone mad?" Luo Xi replied without hesitation, "Not at all, I think Im quite normal." "...Fine, stand there and dont move." Liya walked over and grabbed Luo Xis shoulder. [Note: Celebrate! This is the garbage Travelers first physical contact with his mother-in-law!] Damn Text, shut up! Liya whispered, "Teleport." Countless runes emerged beneath Luo Xis feet, forming into a mysterious ring of light. The ring encircled both Luo Xi and Liyas bodies, and then both of them disappeared from the spot with the ring moving upward. The three people by the ice house looked confused. The middle-aged man frowned, "Where did they go?" The fat man beat his chest and stamped his feet, crying out, "Did Liya run away with that young man? Damn it, I knew it, even the coldest woman cant hold back forever after three years, but why didnt she choose me!" The redhead woman said speechlessly, "You should take a good look at your pig face in the mirror first!" ... Atop the towering icy cliff. As soon as Luo Xi emerged, he was nearly blown away by the strong wind, at least a dozen tiers strong. Fortunately, he was quick enough to grab a nearby ice pillar. A bone-chilling coldness, along with the blizzard hitting his body, made him barely able to open his eyes. He saw outside the ice cliff, countless snowflakes were arranged and gathering according to some rule, forming the human silhouette they had seen from a distance. [Ding! The duration of your clothes (Rune-Enhanced Version) is decreasing at a rate of 1000%] "This is the Projection point of Hiss in my Rune Space," Liya said. Liya bent down slightly to look at the disheveled Luo Xi, her beautiful purple eyes gazing at his face, "Do you still think you can solve the problem here now?" "I dont know, have to try, right?" Luo Xi gave Liya a smile. After all, he had died so many times before. Luo Xi didnt lack this one attempt. "Abyss Flame." In an instant, mighty black and red flames blazed through Luo Xis clothes on his body. Luo Xi braved the snow, walking slowly towards the edge of the ice cliff, reaching its edge. In front of him, among the floating snowflakes, there were many black rifts that looked chilling to the bone. Damn Text, can I jump in from here? [Note: Probably?] Damn Text give me a definite answer! Liyas voice, carrying surprise, came from behind through the snowstorm, "Are you serious?" Luo Xi replied without turning back, "Of course, Im serious." "Why would you go to such lengths?" "Because... it wasnt easy for me to save them, I cant just fail at the last step, can I?" Liya: "?" Who are these them hes referring to? Luo Xi turned back, standing on the edge of the cliff, looking at the woman behind him, and bowed slightly, as if in salute. He smiled, "Lady Liya, if you go home, please send Weier and Aina my regards." Then, the young man leaped down from above. Liya raised her hand, white runes flickering in it. She wanted to pull the young man back. Suddenly, the floating snow projection and the black rifts boiled over violently, like water tossed into hot oil, shaking violently. Her runes were instantly destroyed. "What is this?!" Chapter 200 - 169 Damn Text: The fish is hooked, Aina: This is the taste of brother~(4k)_1 Chapter 200: Chapter 169 Damn Text: The fish is hooked, Aina: This is the taste of brother~(4k)_1This is the interior of the Winter Divine Tree. The extremely cold Yuan Su transformed into floating ice crystals, densely packed, filling almost every corner. The Book of Snowice drifted in the center of the ice crystals, as if breathing, flickering with a faint light. Apart from the Winter Testament, that is, the Book of Snowice, there was also a small space constructed out of countless runes just below it. There was no sign of life here. The Rune Space, created by the strength of the Winter Divine Tree, was not repelled by the power of the Divine Tree itself, which was why Liya and the others could survive here for a long time. Suddenly, parts of the fine ice crystals began to converge, forming a humanoid figure. Then, on top of the ice crystals, different colors appeared, like a plaster model being painted, red, flesh color, black, white... Pure ice flowers blossomed on the body of the humanoid figure. In a flash, a man in his thirties, almost completely naked, materialized around the ice crystals, with ice flowers wrapped around his chest and lower body, concealing the important parts. Anyone who had seen him would recognize that he was the former City Owner, Hiss. Hiss looked disdainfully at his current appearance and flicked an ice flower on his chest. If he went out like this and was seen by acquaintances, hed probably be laughed out of town. Fortunately, he didnt need any acquaintances anymore; he no longer required any. He looked at the Rune Space shrouded by countless ice crystals ahead, whose barrier was gradually weakening, and a disdainful smile appeared on his face. A complex and exotic triple ring pattern inscribed with snow-white runes appeared before his eyes. The pattern was missing one tenth from the lower right corner. Soon, it was finally about to be complete. The Omen was about to be fully restored. The corners of Hisss mouth turned up in a smile filled with the joy of impending success. But the smile soon disappeared. What did he have to be proud of? A task that should have been accomplished three years ago had been unnecessarily drawn out by Liya alone. sea??h th ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Liyas reaction speed was indeed too quick. She managed to make a snap decision in just a few seconds after obtaining the True Canon, leading a group of people into the interior of the Divine Tree, and she also possessed the mysterious skill of transforming the Divine Trees power into runes to construct a space. Indeed, she was the woman he had once set his sights on. Thinking back to their first encounter, Hiss felt a tinge of emotion even now. Hiss was initially attracted by Liyas Tier Four strength, her masterful use of Rune Skills, and her concept for Rune Armor, which led him to provide her with the best environment to support her research. However, besides handing over a batch of Tier Four Skill scrolls every month as a resource exchange, Liyas progress on the Rune Armor research had been extremely slow. Eventually, Hiss no longer held any expectations for the so-called Rune Armor. After all, it seemed ridiculous to think of creating highly durable power armor, which was portable too, using only runes and some basic armor construction materials without needing numerous armor components. Does such a thing even exist in this world? And after the death of his wife, Hiss realized that apart from her Rune Skill techniques, Liya had another excellent quality. When she first came to Winter City, she was around twenty, and over the years, while her appearance had not changed, her temperament had become increasingly mature, like a juicy peach exuding nectar, attracting the gaze of men everywhere. Despite being a mother, her graceful figure and beautiful face did not reveal any signs of childbirth. He realized he had fallen in love with Liya. Yet Liya rejected his advances, citing her child as the reason. Hiss didnt mind, even though he knew the child was a Variant. He asked Liya to bring her daughters into the Mansion of the City Lord for him to raise, but she refused him again, arguing that her daughter would not like the discriminating atmosphere of the city. So, Hiss began to desperately seek out renowned painters to create portraits of Liya, hoping to move her. However, all he received in return were Liyas cold refusals, time and time again. Hiss had to admit that by the end, his psyche had become somewhat unhealthy, even entertaining the idea of using the Divine Tree Power to force himself on her. But one night, a mysterious figure approached him and from that night onwards, he had a new goal. The path to Tier Five! As the Lord of Snowstorm, the City Owner of Winter City, the journey of Winter had reached its end for him; the possibility of ascending to Tier Five was essentially cut off, although he was the true Tier Five as long as he was in Winter City. But what was the use of that? The power bestowed by the Divine Tree was ultimately external, an illusion. Only when all strength converges within oneself, is true power attained. Even if that path leads to disaster. Snowice Disaster. That was the omen bestowed upon him by the mysterious person, the path to Tier Five. Snow Disaster Mioslite, an Origin Disaster that signifies walking disasters, messenger of Origin Disaster. Due to perfect compatibility, Hiss found that switching from the path of Winter to this Tier Five Origin Disaster path was effortless. The price to pay was the entire Winter City and the title of the Divine Trees guardian, becoming the messenger of Origin Disaster from now on, wandering the great path, bringing endless disaster to the world. Chapter 201 - 169 Damn Text: The fish is hooked, Aina: This is the taste of brother~(4k)_2 Chapter 201: Chapter 169 Damn Text: The fish is hooked, Aina: This is the taste of brother~(4k)_2But, what did that matter? To compare women to the temptation of stepping into Tier Five was to say they were not worth mentioning at all. So, Hiss began the long preparation of five years, gradually assembling all the necessary omens and prerequisite preparations. Liya came to see him to discuss the plan to capture the Church of Truth in one fell swoop; he appeared to be shocked on the surface, but inside, he was scoffing. The Church of Truth, how could he possibly not know about it? He knew Liya had some plans of her own as well, but he didnt care, because in the end, everyone would be a sacrifice to the Snow Disaster Mioslite, as he first stepped into Tier Five. Thus, Hiss was logically imprisoned within the Divine Tree during that years festival, which was part of the plan he had arranged. As for the True Canon of the Divine Tree that Liya had always wanted to see, Hiss had deliberately left it for Liya. He just hadnt expected that Liya, after seeing the omen mark on the True Canon, would be able to react instantly, leading to the current situation. The Winter Divine Tree, as one of the essential conditions for his omen, meant that as long as Liyas space remained, he could not complete his advancement. However.... "Its over." Hiss closed his eyes. Ahead of him, the rune space, which he had been pressuring heavily, finally showed a visible crack. Liya couldnt hold out any longer. He had already thought about how he would capture her when she appeared here and then torture her thoroughly to make up for his three years of anxious waiting. The next moment, someone suddenly popped out from the crack. Hiss reached out to grab the person, sneering, "Liya, Ive finally caught you... Wait, youre not Liya?" He looked toward the barrier. The crack had healed itself back up and looked as though it could last another day or two. "Who is this person?" Hiss frowned and inspected the young man he held with a face full of o(xnx)o. Red-black dragon horns. A Variant with the factor of the Red Dragon Species? Considering the strength of the Yuan Su inside the body, he should only be First-tier. Who was he, among those who attended the festival that year, was there such a person? Now, the ice crystals around started to gather towards the young man, seeking to adhere to his body, but were repelled by the black and red flames unconsciously emanating from the young man. "Interesting... Hiss! What is this? Why do I want to eat him so badly?" Hisss eyebrows gave a wild twitch, and he swallowed hard. Inside this young man, there seemed to be something that attracted his strength; even though the burning Yuan Su inside the young mans body should be as disgusting as the thesis defense for him. Want to eat. Very much want to eat. He simply couldnt suppress the desire in his heart to eat. It was a premonition that if he could just devour this young man and digest the strength within his body, he would become countless times stronger than the Tier Five Snowice Disaster. The corners of Hisss mouth curled upwards on both sides. Then... he would follow the desires of his heart and begin. His mouth suddenly gaped open, forming a maw larger than the young mans head, ready to swallow the young man whole. At that moment, the Book of Snowice, still above, suddenly flew in, bumping Hiss and sending his head reeling. "Damn it! Are you trying to mess with my mind too?!" Hiss fiercely grabbed the True Canon, flinging it forcefully toward the distance, where it eventually crashed into the inner wall of the Divine Tree. If not for the fact that as the controller of the Divine Tree, he absolutely could not harm the True Canon due to the oath to Noahs Tree, he would have chosen to advance by devouring the True Canon instead of taking such a big detour, using the entire Winter Divine Tree as his cocoon for transformation. The Book of Snowice floated up, its body flickering with light, appearing somewhat aggrieved as it looked at its former master. Hisss mouth opened wide again, swallowing the young man who had delivered himself to him in one bite. This time, there was nothing to stop him. The scorching Yuan Su exploded inside him in an instant, along with those extremely hot Mutant Factors also assaulting the insides of his body. Hiss felt the changes within his body and was somewhat surprised, "Factors of a Tier Five king-level Dragon Origin Beast?" Of course, he was just surprised, not afraid. After all, the young man wasnt a Tier Five Dragon Origin Beast. But why did I previously have the illusion that if I devoured him, I would become very strong? Hiss meticulously examined all the components of the young man inside his belly. Aside from the origin of the Mutant Factor that surprised him, the rest was, essentially, nothing more than an ordinary Mutant Patient. Could it be, within the soul? It was possible, but where did the spirit force that spilled from his soul upon death go? Frowning, Hiss raised his hand, and the Book of Snowice from afar was instantly brought to his grasp. "Soul Freeze." A cold light flashed from the Book of Snowice, enveloping Hisss body, and thus, he discovered a small remnant of a spiritual trace within him. Why was there so little? Logically speaking, when a person dies, unless the cause of death is attributed to skills or spells that destroy the soul, spiritual traces can usually be preserved intact for a short duration. Hiss moved a small part of his own soul, probing into this piece of spiritual trace. He had to understand the reason for his sudden strange desire earlier. [Hehe, the fish has taken the bait indeed~] As his soul touched the spiritual trace, Hiss felt as if hed plunged into an abyss, and after what felt like ages, he finally sensed solid ground underfoot. Looking ahead with uncertainty, a white book floated there. Was that... a book? It bore some resemblance to the Winter Testament, yet it was completely different, simple and unadorned. Unconsciously, Hiss drew closer, his eyes revealing a strong longing. He was certain, this was the thing attracting him! Could this also be the True Canon of some Divine Tree?! Unable to resist, Hiss reached out to touch the book. The moment his hand made contact with the book, suddenly, a burst of radiant, seven-colored light exploded, and that part of Hisss soul was swallowed up in an instant. Boom! Hisss outer body was enveloped by the seven-colored light as well, his complexion turning pale. The Omen of Snowice Disaster that was nearing completion now tottered on the brink before violently shattering. Hiss was overcome with horror, "No, impossible!" Three years of preparation, all in vain. He had never imagined that he would fail on the eve of his success, due to his own gluttony and curiosity causing his downfall. "Damn you, Liya, is this also your doing?" Before Hiss could finish cursing Liya, the backlash from the broken Omen immediately filled his body with countless tiny cracks. "No, I cant die. I must reach Tier Five. I need to make that woman Liyana know I..." Crack! With a sound no one could hear, Hisss body completely fractured, utterly vanishing within the flow of ice crystals, becoming part of the Winter Divine Trees interior. The vast surplus of power began to spread outward from the tree into the world. Only the Book of Snowice, with a somewhat sorrowful cry, seemed to mourn the departure of its master. Inside the Rune Space. Liya was utterly shocked as she watched the ice flowers around her steadily fade away. As well as the dissipating icy outline of Hiss. That young man... had he really succeeded? How had he done it? Outside, Hill, who had been moved to the Mansion of the City Lord, had a beautiful Snowice Symbol emerge on his forehead. From that moment on, the true owner of Winter City had indeed become this young child. ... At Lenas Inn. Weier opened the window and stretched out her hand to touch the falling snow from the sky. This time, the snow was no longer cold, but carried a hint of warmth. Almost half a day had passed since then. Why hasnt that pervert come back yet? Anxiety began to fill the heart of the cat-eared girl. Aina, who had come next to her sister at some point, also looked up at the gray-white sky, her tea-gold eyes flashing with an unusual light.

October 3rd. It was already three oclock in the afternoon. At the Cat Cafe around the corner, Ai Xue had just made a cup of coffee and handed it to a newly arrived customer. Her expression somewhat melancholic, she glanced at the WeChat messages on her phone. Today, Luo Xi hadnt come to work again, and this time he hadnt asked for leave. Had he encountered some troublesome matter? These past few days, the shop had actually been very busy; after all, it was a holiday season, and Luo Xi had taken several days off in a row, putting a lot of pressure on the shop. Fortunately, she had hired several temporary workers, which had somewhat relieved the pressure. Chen Momo, who was serving customers in the cat cafe, came over and said softly, trying to comfort her, "Xiao Xue, youre still waiting for him, huh? I think you were scammed by him, but thats not too bad, actually. Seven thousand yuan to see someones true colorsits better than being cheated in other ways." "Momo, dont talk nonsense." Ai Xue shook her head and said, "I dont believe senior is that kind of person. There must be something important." "Something important?" Chen Momo shrugged and said, "What kind of important thing keeps you so busy that you cant even send a single WeChat message? And hasnt he blocked you before for a long time? You know him only on the surface; you dont know what his real private life is like. With his looks, I wouldnt find it strange if he secretly had a dozen girlfriends." "I still dont think senior is that kind of playboy..." Ai Xue defended, but her tone had already dropped. "Hmm... saying he has a dozen girlfriends may indeed be over the top," Chen Momo mused, resting her chin on her hand. "Indeed, if he were such a scumbag and had many fish in the sea, he wouldnt have ignored a pretty and dumb girl who gave herself away like you. If it were me, you wouldnt have been pure two years ago; I would have fully developed you by now." "Could he really be gay or a loli-con? Either way, it feels pretty bad," she speculated. Ai Xues face flushed red immediately, and she reached out to knock on Chen Momos head. "Momo, what are you talking about?! There are so many customers around!" The two of them started to playfully fight behind the counter, attracting curious glances from many customers. Ding! A notification sound came from Ai Xues phone, which was on the table. She immediately left her best friend and stood up to check her phone. Ai Xue had thought that Luo Xi had replied to her message. "Whats this?" However, it was just a notification from a game she had never heard of. [Dear player, you have received the trial qualification for the daily text-based game Dawn (this is a tuning test prior to the second large-scale beta test, with a total of 10,000 spots). Would you like to download?] Without giving it much thought, Ai Xue swiped away the game notification. She wasnt really into gaming, and even if she played, it was the kind of game that she could play with friends. [Game download successful, Dawn is installing... Installation complete, we wish you a pleasant gaming experience] Ai Xue: "?" What kind of unscrupulous game company was this? ... /// Liya walked on the ice soil transformed from runes which had erased the traces of ice flowers and Hisss omens, her emotions still not settled. The young man, he had actually succeeded. A first-tier Variant had accomplished something that she, despite all her efforts over three years, had failed to achieve. What exactly had he done? It was incomprehensible. Liya silently turned back, looking in the direction from which she came. Had he died? To sacrifice his life to save others who had no relation to him, even her, if her two daughters were not in Winter City, would she make that choice? Liya asked herself. In the end, she arrived at an answer. She did not know. But if she had no ties here, then she probably would not made such a choice. Yet, the young man had done it. And it seemed he did not hesitate or fear at all; the way he faced death was as calm as the flames that burned brightly on his body. Liya recalled the last words the young man smiled and said to her. To say hello to Weier and Aina for him? Liya couldnt help but give a bitter smile. If those two girls knew that their friend had died, how sorrowful would they be? Boom The ice valley trembled. Both the ice cliffs and the ground were cracking. This Rune Space that she had constructed was gradually self-destructing from inside out, which was different from the damage caused by Hiss trying to penetrate the space. This was a change brought about by the replacement of the Divine Trees controller, causing a fundamental change in the Divine Trees internal strength, and now it was expelling them out. It seemed Hiss had indeed died. The runes flickered, and with a step, Liya returned to the ice fort, picked up the chubby man and his two companions who were crying and wailing, and condensed a large number of runes to envelop them. After a moment of shaking, they moved through space, and when they appeared again, the grey-white sky, seen through the snowy branches of the Divine Tree, entered their vision. The chubby man kneeled on the ground, stunned for a long time, his eyes wide open: "Were out... we made it out?" Whoosh As the cold wind blew, around the Winter Divine Tree, many human-shaped ice sculptures appeared. After a long silence, looking at the ice sculptures, Liya nodded slightly. "Im sorry." It was she who had brought them in, but she hadnt brought them out alive. S~ea??h the ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

She felt the snowflakes falling on her body. This snow was actually warm. Just like the young man she had not seen for long, with his flowing hot blood and his sincere, noble soul. [Ding!

A soldier was reporting to the person at the desk: "Acting Legion Commander Zide, we have razed the mansion of that senior judge, but still havent found him, he seems to have gone into hiding... From various signs, its possible he has left Winter City." "He got away?" Zide punched the wall behind him, creating a deep dent in it. The old man actually escaped?! Then how are those innocent people, who were arbitrarily sentenced to death by Delkus in the last three years and have already been executed, supposed to demand justice from him? Seeing the acting legion commander so angry, his subordinate immediately said, "Well continue to search for him right away." "Forget it," Zide sighed, "First deal with the internal affairs of the city. Oh, and send some more warm stones and warming food supplies to the gathering area for the Variants." ... Shopkeeper Lenas inn. "Time for noodles." Lena, wearing an apron, served several bowls of noodles on the table. "Ainas going to eat outside." Aina took her bowl and sat at the entrance of the inn, allowing the snowflakes to fall on her while she happily ate her steaming noodles. The temperature today had returned to about minus seven or eight degrees. Although it was still very cold, Ainas physique could easily withstand it, so Weier did not stop her sisters strange behavior. Weier just felt something was odd. After knowing about Luo Xis disappearance, Aina had been sullen from last night until now, so why did she suddenly become cheerful? Weier, also holding a bowl of noodles, sat beside her sister and asked, "Aina, arent you afraid that he might never come back?" Aina smiled brightly, "Not worried at all, because Brother said hes going to marry Aina in the future. Im waiting for Brother Luo Xi to come back~ Besides, isnt Brother Luo Xi right here? His scent is everywhere." The little wolf-eared Lolita caught a snowflake in her hand, placed it in her mouth, and smiled, "Sister, this snow is warm, tastes good. Do you want to try some?" Weier: "..." No, this little sister seems to be broken. What exactly did that pervert Luo Xi do to Aina? Weier still couldnt figure out how Luo Xi managed to completely fool Aina, a child who was extremely wary of strangers, in just a few days. After all, Aina had shown her guardedness against the Rat King Nos quite early on. At that moment, someone approached from not too far away. Seeing this, Weier immediately pulled up her sister and closed the door of the inn. Even though the issue with the Rat King Nos had been resolved, as long as they remained Variants, they couldnt lead their lives openly in this city. The two returned to the restaurant area. After finishing a bowl of noodles, Chu Tian burped contentedly and asked, "Brother Luo hasnt come back yet?" "Not yet," Weier shook her head. Chu Tian spoke up, "Thats kind of slow, I tried calling him but got no response. Seriously, he tricked me into being locked up and not joining this mission. That guy must have monopolized all the mission rewards." Weier listened to Chu Tians words, not quite understanding. She never really understood those messy conversations between Luo Xi and Chu Tian. Knock knock! Suddenly, there was a knock at the door of the inn. Shopkeeper Lena went out to open the door saying, "Sorry, we are fully booked, no vacancies for now... Teacher Liya?! You, youre back?! Weier, Aina!" Weier and Aina immediately stood up together, put down their noodles, and ran towards the inns lobby. Standing still, Weier and Aina stared at the figure before them, hesitant to move forward. That shape etched deep in their souls finally appeared before their eyes. Why had their mother appeared before them without them doing anything? Was this... perhaps a dream? Seeing her two daughters standing there dazed, Liya walked over, put her hands on their heads and ruffled them, then pulled them both into her embrace. "Mom missed you so much, Im sorry for letting you suffer these past three years." Feeling the familiar warmth of her mothers embrace, hearing the familiar words she seemed to have heard before, Weier couldnt hold back her tears and began to cry loudly. Aina also started crying with great sobs. Lena was wiping away her own tears on the side. Teacher Liya was really still alive. Thats wonderful. In the restaurant. Liya? The moment Chu Tian heard that name, his Radar for Wives immediately reacted. He wanted to go and see for himself, but he looked at Daisy sitting next to him. [Traveler, do you want to go out and join them?] [No] Chu Tian still chose to stay put. This bunny-eared girl already had a high favorability towards him. Given some time, it might turn into something more, and stirring up issues now might decrease her favorability. He also truly liked this type of gentle woman, especially a beast-eared girl with bunny ears, perfectly hitting his sexual inclination. Chu Tian himself was completely indifferent to women in reality, and if he could find someone he genuinely liked in this game, that wouldnt be too bad. Chapter 204 - 170: The Meeting of Liya and Her Daughter and the Reward for the Task (4600)_3 Chapter 204: Chapter 170: The Meeting of Liya and Her Daughter and the Reward for the Task (4600)_3As for Daisy having had a husband and children before, that didnt matter to him; in fact, it was a bonus. Morality and such were even less of a concern. Hadnt Brother Luo also abducted two little beast-eared Lolitas? Moreover, from the few times he overheard and saw what was happening, it was possible all those racy things had already been done. Brother Luo was far worse than himself; he should be condemned first. (the corner of his mouth turned up) ... "Ah-Q" Luo Xi yawned; he was feeling very sleepy. His eyelids kept drooping. It was like being in an absurd dream, consciousness diffusing, unable to recall what he needed to do right now. He had a thought that he might as well never wake up from this sleep. [Note: Stupid Traveler, hurry up and open your eyes, I am your big brother~] What the hell? Luo Xi suddenly opened his eyes. Then he shivered deeply. One word to describe his feeling at the moment, cold! He found himself confined in a space filled with ice and snow crystals. The Book of Snowice named True Canon was floating beside him at the moment, somehow different from the last time he saw it; this time, the book was closer to him and seemed much more docile towards him. Luo Xi saw that the remaining synchronization time on the book was still [???]. After death, shouldnt his consciousness immediately return to reality? Why was he still in synchronization? [Note: You dumb Traveler, before your consciousness leaves the Dream world, I resurrected you~ oh by the way, I used one of your revival chances~] Luo Xi: "..." Fxxk! This damn text is unbelievable! It could provide him with a high-definition temporary sync; it could even make sync-required choices for him, and now, it could choose to resurrect him. No, wouldnt it be better just to let me die and then get out? [Note: Garbage Traveler, are you sure you dont want to take what youve worked so hard to earn? If you leave like this, youll never be able to enter again~] Luo Xi was taken aback. [Ding! Free task: The Snowice Disaster has been completed] [Ding! You have acquired the omen of the Lord of Snowstorm transforming into Snowice Disaster, along with a random talent extraction opportunity x1] [Ding! The legendary-level task: The encounter with Snow Disaster Mislat has been completed prematurely for unknown reasons] [You have acquired the talent effect upgrade chance x1 (up to upgrading legendary-level talents), a random talent extraction opportunity x1, and talent deletion chance x1] In a flash, soul shadows of a person who had died appeared among those ice crystals. A large amount of ice crystals converged into the soul shadow, forming a round ice barrier. Subsequently, a streak of light flashed on the Book of Snowice, and the ice barrier ended up in Luo Xis hands. [Tier Five Snowice Disaster (preceded by Tier Four pathways related to snowice)] [Primary Material: Eternal Ice left by Snow Disaster Mislat, Disaster Stone] [Secondary Materials: Hearts of Tier Four Origin Beasts of the icy category x3] [Omen: ********] Luo Xi: "?" What the hell are those asterisks? [Note: Garbage Traveler, better not look at such bad stuff for now; Im afraid it might give you bad ideas~] So this is why you kept me here, damn text? Not even letting me see it, whats the damn use of this thing? The Book of Snowice flashed again. In front of Luo Xi, there appeared a chunk of ice seemingly infused with extreme coldness and an utterly black stone. [Eternal Ice] [Quality: Purple Color (Epic++)] [Category: Special Material] [Properties: Can be used for forging or for certain sublimation pathways for advancement] [Description: Eternal Ice left behind by Snow Disaster Mislat, capable of withstanding even the hottest flames] [Disaster Stone] [Quality: Purple Color (Epic++)] [Category: Special Material] [Properties: Can be used for forging or for certain sublimation pathways for advancement] [Description: Stones left behind after an unknown disaster, possesses the power to attract disasters] Luo Xi: "." So this is the stuff that damn text wants him to take? But does that also imply that the damn text cant directly affect him? Cant manipulate his use of the Dreamland bag? Luo Xi stored both items in the Dreamland bag. Now, it was time to get out. S~ea??h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. But how exactly was he supposed to leave? [Note: Garbage Traveler, the rules inside the Divine Tree are being rewritten right now, and youve lost your only chance to leave~] Luo Xi: "..." Can I resurrect after suicide? But it seems like the last event node was here too... [Note: Stupid Traveler, have you remembered the safe haven you set up?] "Hm?" Oh, its the basement of Cat Cat and their home. ---- ---- (There will be another update tonight~) Chapter 205 - 171: When Did That Pervert Meet My Mom?!_1 Chapter 205: Chapter 171: When Did That Pervert Meet My Mom?!_1In the inn. Liya held her two daughters tightly in her arms, feeling a multitude of emotions. Listening to her daughters sobbing made her want to cry as well. But Liya was still holding back. Among the wonderful things in life, a long-lost reunion between family members certainly counted as one of the finest. So at times like this, one should smile. Why cry then? Then, why couldnt I help myself? Amidst her daughters sobs, Liya too found it hard to control the tears welling up in the corners of her eyes. She quietly wiped her face and looked towards Lena, who was also wiping away tears, and said softly, "Lena, thank you for taking care of Weier and the others. Im sorry for not explaining their situation to you earlier and for letting you take such a big risk to care for them." Initially, Liya had taken Lena on as an apprentice on a whim, as those with the talent of the Creation Series were incredibly rare. Lena possessed such talent. And practioners of the Creation Series, no matter which path they followed, naturally had a tremendous advantage in their mastery of rune skills compared to skill practioners of the three major classifications: the Phenomenon Series, Spirit Series, and Strengthening Series. Liya didnt tell Lena about her daughters because she didnt want her to get too involved in her own affairs. Yet, an accident still occurred. Liya hadnt expected to disappear for three years. During these years, Weier and her sisters must have had a very tough time, probably eating poor quality food. After all, in a rundown place like Grey Stone Street, even if you had money, it was hard to buy nutritious ingredients. As a result, Weier now looked about the same age as Aina... Aina was only around thirteen now and could grow a bit more if she ate better. It was unexpected that Weier was still so frail, just like the little girl who used to lie in bed with Little Aina three years ago. Liya secretly hugged her daughter tighter, feeling heartbroken for her own flesh and blood. She was her own daughter, with a face much like her own, and by rights should have a fine figure tooafter all, both her mother and grandmother were outstanding beauties in their prime. Of course, she knew that the Mutant Factor must have had an effect. But would this child ever grow up now? If she hadnt disappeared for these three years, perhaps she might have helped Weiers development become a bit more normal, at least not a childs body even after reaching adulthood... Thinking of this made Liya feel sad. Weier felt the changes in her mothers gaze and became puzzled. Why did her mother look at her with such heartache? Wasnt she still alive and well? Aina stopped sobbing and leaned into Liyas embrace, her head against Liyas chest. Her delicate little nose twitched, and the wolf ears on her head subtly perked up. It wasnt the same as the snow outsidewhy did her mother carry a heavier scent of Brother Luo Xi? Could it be that Mom had come into contact with Brother Luo Xi? Liya gently stroked Weiers head and said tenderly, "By the way, Weier, today is your birthday, right?" Weier wiped away the tears on her face and nodded obediently, "Mhm." "That year, Mom promised to bring you back a snow plum blossom, but I ended up breaking my word." Liya reached out her hand towards the outside of the house, and instantly, a large number of snowflakes were drawn by her hand, condensing into the shape of two blossoms on her palm. White rune symbols flickered, reconstructing the snowflakes into two lifelike snow plum blossoms, exuding a faint fragrance. From the side, Lena asked, "Teacher Liya, have you progressed in your rune skill to beyond master level? Is this the work of a Tier Five Grandmaster?" "Almost there, but Im still at Tier Four. To break into Tier Five, Ill need to... make a trip back home." As Liya spoke towards the end, her tone grew heavy, but after looking at her lovely daughters once more, she reaffirmed her resolve. Even if she loathed those bastards back home, she still had to return at least once more to obtain the formula and Omen necessary for the subsequent path to Sublimation. Why were Hiss and Noss pursuing the path to Tier Five? Unlike the great power consolidated within Tier Four, the strength of Tier Five was truly above and beyond normal reasoning. This was evident from her exquisite mastery of rune skills. Even though she had not reached that level yet, after three years of refinement through the power of the Winter Divine Tree, her rune skills had advanced from master to grandmaster level. With this expertise alone, she was confident that even with numerous Tier Four Transcendents as opponents, they would be no match for her. "Even the thickest snow will eventually melt. When the spring breeze blows, the scars across this land will sprout new shoots and bloom with beautiful flowers." Liya said softly, placing the two blossoms into her daughters hair. She smiled and said, "Lets go home, back to Grey Stone Street. Lena, you come too. Ill cook dinner myself to celebrate Weiers birthday today." "Mhm." Lena nodded happily. She had long been curious about where her teachers home was. Suddenly, Liya felt her eldest daughter stir in her arms. She looked down and asked, "Whats wrong?" Weiers red eyes dodged her mothers gaze and she said softly, "About that... our home on Grey Stone Street, theres not a single thing left. Everything was taken away by someone." "Huh?" Liya was utterly confused. What in the world did she mean by taken away? "Who did it?!" Liya suddenly felt a surge of anger: "Was it Noss? Is he dead yet? If not, Ill personally see to his end." "It wasnt Rat King Nos... Hes probably already dead." Liya frowned: "Then who was it?" She had left behind some Tier Four scrolls at home, which werent many, but surely enough to fend off those petty criminals after trading some for money. And if Nos had wanted to harm Weier and her sisters, no number of Tier Four scrolls would have been enough. "No, it was someone else who temporarily took everything." Weier didnt know how to explain the situation with Luo Xi. "He had a kind of spatial storage ability. We originally planned to move everything away and go to another town, but after entering Winter City, weve been trapped here until now." Liya said warily, "Who is this he? Male or female? Where is he now?" Weier: "...." What kind of reaction is this, Mom? Lena felt that something was off and snuck into the restaurant, starting to eat her bowl of noodles. She wanted to mourn for the young man named Luo Xi. Youd better not come back. Perhaps you really will die, oh~ Weier somewhat stuttered, "He has things to do, so I dont know where he is now..." "Then when will he return?" Liya asked. Weier looked at the falling snow outside and said with a somewhat forlorn expression, "I dont know where he is either. Maybe hell return soon." Liya looked at her daughter suspiciously. S~ea??h the n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Suspect. Very suspect. But, thinking that Weier had also come of age, it was not right for her to meddle in her feelings any longer, as long as the other person was of decent quality. She didnt want her daughter to follow in her footsteps. Arranged family marriages or anything of the sort would never again befall her descendants. Liya suddenly remembered the young man she had met in the Divine Tree. It can be said that it was that young man who saved all the people here, including herself. That young man seemed to have said his name was Luo Xi and that he was friends with Weier and the others. Liya suddenly laid her hands back on her daughters heads. Under their puzzled gazes, Liya said seriously, "Someone asked me to say hello to you on his behalf." "Huh? Who is it?" Weier froze on the spot. "He said his name is Luo Xi." Liya sighed, "His sincere spirit and self-sacrificing quality are things I cannot bring myself to do. I can say that I was able to return here thanks to his sacrificehe saved all of us." "Luo Xi, sacrifice? Has he died again? No, he met with you, Mother?" Weiers forehead involuntarily bore a p. Whats going on with that freak? Why would he meet my mother under such unclear circumstances? Ainas body trembled slightly. Her tea gold eyes immediately brimmed with tears. "Did Brother Luo Xi die?" Up to now, Little Aina had not witnessed Luo Xis death and resurrection firsthand, so upon hearing the news of Luo Xis death, the spirits of the wolf-eared Little Lolita were brought down once again. Were those snowflakes carrying Brother Luo Xis scent produced after his death? Liya was also taken aback. Whats with Weiers reaction? And whats going on with Aina? Wait, the person Weier mentioned who emptied their house, was that Luo Xi? Was the relationship between that young man and her two daughters really just that of ordinary friends? Regardless, that young man had died. Apart from those spirit-based necromancy skills that could turn a body into a walking corpse or resurrect it for a period of time, death was irreversible, an iron law of this world. She could only hope now that the two children would not be too heartbroken. Liya rubbed Weiers and Ainas hair and said, "Lets go. In any case, lets return home for a visit. Ill teleport us all over there directly. The Divine Tree Barrier is still in place, so it seems we will need to teleport a couple of times. No matter. Are those guys in the restaurant also your friends, Weier? Should we bring them along too?" "Um..." Weier was still immersed in her mothers words about Luo Xis self-sacrifice saving everyone. Aina was also grieving at the thought of what would happen if Brother Luo Xi could never return. Meanwhile. [Traveler, you have been resurrected to a safe location] [Ding! You have exited the special place, and your sync time has resumed. You have 30 minutes remaining.] Luo Xi lay motionless in the underground chamber filled with foul air. Tired, unwilling to move. Just waiting for the sync time to end, and then his consciousness would leave the Dream World. In these few days, he had been playing the game with high intensity, constantly syncing, dying, and rewinding several times. If another player faced the situations hed been through, theyd probably have been done in the first round. [Note: Trash Traveler, you are now just one step away from abducting two beast-eared Lolitas. Dont give up... Oh? Something unwelcome has happened. Trash Traveler, fend for yourself~] Luo Xi: "?" ------ ------ Blind guess some readers would say the Chapter is too short~ No saying that! (n) Chapter 206 - 172 Aina: Mom, she is just upstairs(???)_1 Chapter 206: Chapter 172 Aina: Mom, she is just upstairs(???)_1Fifteen minutes earlier. After calming down her two daughters, Liya entered the restaurant to take a quick look at the rest of the people there. Two Variant patients of rabbit Category, Tier zero. A normal male, no signs of Sublimation. None posed a threat. When Liyas gaze fell on Chutian, he paused noticeably and eventually looked away with difficulty. No, its not okay to switch targets now. He had decided that from now on, he would be a man of pure love! The path of pure love cannot be abandoned halfway! If Luo Xi knew what this guy was thinking, he would definitely mock, "Do you have some misunderstanding about pure love?" Lena, carrying a box of stuff, walked out of the kitchen: "Teacher, is there anything else we need to bring? Do we need ingredients and kitchenware?" Liya shook her head, "Bring some ingredients, but we dont need kitchenware. Ill just use some Skills to create some tools for temporary use." "Okay, then I will take all the food supplies from the inns inventory." Lena immediately turned and headed to the storeroom to prepare the ingredients. Soon, she moved out all the food reserves from the storeroom, which left Liya stunned. There are only a few people here, what are you planning to do with a large vat of rice and a big bag of flour? Weier went upstairs in the inn. The young girl picked up the Echo of Azure, then glanced at the black iron ball and the hat. These two items belonged to that pervert; leaving them here wouldnt matter. When Weier handed the Echo of Azure to Liya, Liya wasnt very surprised, because she had a connection with the Lost Yuan Qi and knew where it was from far away. Liya gently touched the staffs shaft, "Old buddy, long time no see." The Echo of Azure vibrated slightly, as if welcoming its masters return. After everything was prepared, Liya called everyone over and had them walk out of the silver layer of the barrier first. The dual Divine Tree Barriers of Winter City had the effect of isolating Skills; although Lenas Inn was right next to the silver barrier, her Rune Skills were still blocked. Just as Liya was using runes to pack the ingredients and make them levitate, a childish voice that was very familiar to Liya sounded from behind her. "Auntie Liya, youre back." Liya turned around sharply, her beautiful purple eyes narrowing: "Hill..." With his head bowed, Hill said, "Auntie Liya, is my dad not coming back?" Liya: "..." She didnt know how to reply to the child. "That" "You dont have to feel so troubled, Auntie Liya." Hill forced a smile, "I know that my dad did some very bad things. The True Canon of the Winter Divine Tree told me everything while I was sleeping. All the accidents from back then were caused by my dad." Liya: "..." No, Im also to blame. If I hadnt come to Winter City, then Hiss probably wouldnt have turned out that way, right? Liya walked over and affectionately ruffled the childs hair. That bastard Hiss never considered his own child. Hadnt he thought about the fact that if hed succeeded in ascending, his child would have died too? The impact of the snow disaster was indiscriminate. Hill glanced at Weier and asked softly, "Auntie Liya, are you going home?" "Yes, back to Grey Stone Street." Hill raised his head, asking eagerly, "Then, may I come with you?" Liya patted the childs shoulder, "Of course you can, today Auntie will cook personally, lets go together." "Then Ill give you the access rights." The ice-blue light in Hills eyes shone brightly. Instantly, Liya felt her runes could sense much further away. Had Hill opened up part of the Divine Trees rights to her? This child, after Hisss complete death, indeed inherited all the rights of the Divine Tree controller. So, Liya took Hills hand and waved to the others who had already walked beyond the Glory, wrapping everyone in runes in an instant and disappearing in a rising ring of light from their feet to their heads. A moment later. All of them had been transported to Grey Stone Street. The snow here had accumulated to about four or five meters deep, completely swallowing up a whole floor. "Were home." Liya looked at the house where she had lived for over a decade. But... whats with these external stairs and why are they broken? On the wall of the three-story cottage, the iron staircase, which had hung intact, was missing the section leading to the third floor. It looked as though it had been torn off by some external force. Liya casually raised her hand, runes emerged, filled the gap where the staircase had been, and then she walked up. She pushed the door open. Squeak The door hinge emitted a piercing noise. After entering, Liya looked around the living room, which was now empty of items. All the things were in that young mans hands. Unfortunately, that young man can never return. Things are not like they used to be. She looked back at her two daughters following her. No, perhaps it should be said that people are not like the objects here. This is also a good thing, isnt it? Liya softly snapped her fingers a few times. In an instant, a multitude of runes appeared in the living room like a shower of stars, constructing sofas, stools, chairs, and other household items. All the things were just as they had been when she left all those years ago, fixed in Liyas memory of this place. Weier also watched in amazement as her mother effortlessly used her Skills. Was mom this powerful? The younger version of herself had thought her mom was just an ordinary Skill Practitioner who could draw some scrolls. Thats when the sounds of noisy conversation came from outside. Weier walked over to look out and saw that quite a few of Grey Stone Streets residents were gradually coming towards this place from afar. "Have the residents of Grey Stone Street returned?" "Yes," Hill said from the side. "The threat of the snow disaster is gone, and the temperature has already warmed up, so I had people bring them back and also provided them with a lot of supplies." Liya went to pat Hills head, "With a City Owner like you in the future, life might become a bit more hopeful for them." Aina came closer, complaining, "Aina wants mommy to pat her head too." "Of course." Liya affectionately stroked Ainas small head. Her youngest daughter still inspires such pity. Aina rubbed her moms palm and thought of Luo Xi again. She couldnt help but start worrying. Brother Luo Xi wouldnt really never come back, would he? Suddenly, Ainas dainty nose wrinkled slightly. She walked toward the big bedroom. Weier called out lightly, "Aina, what are you doing there? Theres nothing left in the bedroom." "Im just going to have a look, sister. You entertain the other guests first." Aina smiled at her sister, entered the room, and then shut the door. Liya didnt pay much attention to Ainas actions. Sar?h the N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. However, she suddenly remembered something. "Weier, among the scrolls that mom left here, there was one that you probably couldnt use. Where is it now?" Liya really wanted to know if, with her current knowledge of runes, she could complete a true rune armor. Weier was slightly startled. A scroll that couldnt be used? Wasnt it the hat that Luo Xi always wore on his head? "Its still at Sister Lenas inn." Liya nodded. There was no hurry to go get it; after finally reuniting with her daughters, she decided not to think about research-related matters for the day. Hill, however, said, "If you need something, I can help." Weier thought for a moment and said, "Upstairs in that inn, theres a hat with a white base and black trim, and a black iron ball underneath." Hill closed his eyes, and after a while, extended his hand toward the ground. "Is this it?" Ice blue inscriptions emerged, and after they disappeared, a black iron ball and a black and white gentlemans hat appeared on the ground. "I was talking about a scroll... What is this? Huh?!" Liya looked at the hat and the black metal sphere with surprised uncertainty. Why did these two objects feel so familiar to her, as if they were rune-made objects she had created with her own hands? Profound purple inscriptions appeared in Liyas eyes. Suddenly, a massive amount of rune structures from the two items entered her line of sight. She could confirm that these runes were indeed woven by her own hand. But Liya had absolutely no recollection of these two objects. Within the black metal ball, bizarre runes were arranged and integrated in a manner she still couldnt understand, even now. Liya tried to invade these rune-made objects with her spirit. An unhappy voice rang out: "What are you doing?! Youre not the owner. You cant just get into Sparks... Ah, its you. No, even though you made Spark more powerful, you still cant enter inside Sparks innards!" Liya: "???" Could someone tell her what this thing was? Liya took the hat into her hands. It was the Furnace Core of Yuan Su she had designed, now actualized! But the conditions for using that scroll were very strict; only sublimated persons or Variants with a fiery attribute could use it... Could it be that young man? Wait a second, was there something hidden in the rune arrangement inside this Furnace Core? Liya narrowed her eyes. Runes activated. In an instant, numerous images flooded her mindmemories related to the events that the reflected image within this Furnace Core had encountered. Liya: "." What on earth had that guy done to her daughters? ... The cover over the basement was opened. Squeak Luo Xis heart raced. At this time, the only ones who could come here and knew about this secret basement were probably Weier and Aina. "Brother Luo Xi, is that you?" Above, the soft voice of the little wolf girl resounded. Luo Xi: "!" Yay! Its Aina! "Yeah, its me." About ten seconds later, someone reached the bottom. The next moment, Luo Xi felt a soft object burrowing into his embrace. Aina nuzzled her head into his chest. "Brother Luo Xi is still so warm~" "Aina is just as adorable." Luo Xi chuckled lightly, skilfully reached behind Aina, and petted the fluffy bushy tail of the wolf-eared Lolita, feeling all his fatigue dissipate. [Ding! Your happiness level +80] In the dim light, Ainas tea gold eyes blinked with an inexplicable glow, "Brother Luo Xi, since youre back, why dont you come upstairs?" "Is your sister also upstairs?" Luo Xi asked. "Mhm, mhm, and mom is here too." "Huh? Your mom is here too?!" [Ding! Your fright value +100] The hands that Luo Xi was using to play with Ainas tail suddenly stopped. He swallowed hard: "Your mom is already upstairs?" "Yep." Aina said with a (???) expression, "Mom is just upstairs. Brother, do you want to go see her? But you must have already met mom, right? How did it go?" Luo Xi: (((;???;)))! Oh no, things are going south! [Current remaining sync time: 28 minutes] Why is there still so much sync time left?! Damn text, get me out of here! [Note: Garbage Traveler, the true moment of judgment from your mother-in-law is coming. Feel the rage of a homeowner whose cabbages have been uprooted by wild boars!] Aargh! ------- ------- Theres another update tonight~ Chapter 207 - 173 Liya: How am I Supposed to Stay Rational! (4k)_1 Chapter 207: Chapter 173 Liya: How am I Supposed to Stay Rational! (4k)_1"Mom, whats wrong with you?" Weier looked at her mother with confusion. Her demeanor had become very strange after receiving that hat. "Its nothing." Liya took a deep breath, calming her emotions as she continued to flip through the memories stored in the runes. In the memories, there were many scenes of the young man touching Ainas mutated features. How fond was that guy of mutation characteristics? Soon, Liya realized that the young man had only known her daughters for a short while. In just a few days, how did that guy manage to take liberties with her daughters? Weier was one matter; although she might seem cold on the outside, Liya knew her daughter had a kind heart and would think of making amends if she realized she had hurt someone. But Aina, shes always so wary of strangers. Why didnt she feel any resentment toward him? If Ainas behavior hadnt seemed completely normal, Liya might have thought she had been brainwashed. Even if Aina didnt resist, that was no excuse for that man to take liberties with her! Aina is still so young... Liya had thought that the young man possessed a sincere and noble soul. She must have been blind. Then, Liya came across the memory in Lenas Inn where Luo Xi petted Aina until she was out of her senses. From just the image of Ainas little face flushed with color, Liya thought that pervert might have done something unspeakable to her. "..." Rationality. Stay rational. Dont let emotions cloud her judgment. The young man was already dead. Even though he had said he wouldnt really die. And the projection of her in the rune memories seemed to have believed it too. But Liya didnt believe in coming back to life. Unless that guy could appear in front of her right now! As Liya continued to sift through the rune memories, her expression gradually softened. Although the young man had done some strange things to Weier and Aina, he truly hadnt treated them badly, risking his life to be a decoy for Weier to enter the sanatorium and, in the end, using her projection to complete the Rune Power Armor to defeat Rat King Nos... The memory paused on the image of Luo Xi manipulating Spark, beating Rat King Nos at the base of the Divine Tree, and being frozen by it. So this was how he managed to get inside the Divine Tree? One could say that Weiers survival was greatly owed to Luo Xi; he had indeed risked his life to save everyone in Winter City. At this point, Liyas anger toward Luo Xi had diminished a lot. After all, her projection thought the young man a decent person, trusting him with her daughters in her last moments, and he did have many chances to take Aina and leave Winter City outright. But this Rune Power Armor... Liyas face became wistful. A project she had made no progress on for over a decade had been completed by a rune projection of hers. Although it was a fortuitous achievement. The birth of this rune armor was nearly impossible to replicate. An armor with a distinct spirit will had already decided the uniqueness of this rune armor. Even with something like Echo of Azure, a Lost Yuan Qi of that tier, its spirit didnt have a very clear will, only able to respond basically to her commands. Liya sighed softly, "Has it become his exclusive Yuan Qi then?" If that guy was really dead, unless someone else could gain the recognition of that spirit within the Rune Power Armor, it would be completely inert. Sear?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Liya threw the hat back onto the black sphere. There were things in the rune memories that she cared about more. For instance, how did Aina manage to bring those Tier Four runes from her own workshop there? Even though Ainas mutation ability was special, and the fundamental logic of her runes would not harm Aina, with Ainas strength, she couldnt have done it without someone elses help. At that time, who else could have assisted Aina? Liya looked toward the bedroom. Speaking of which, Aina had been in the bedroom for quite some time now. Wasnt everything in the bedroom gone? ... Luo Xi was pondering his next move. The Damn Text was reveling in schadenfreude, eager to see Luo Xi dead for good. But Luo Xi wouldnt just sit around waiting for his doom. Since Liya was back, she might have gotten that Furnace Core hat and accessed the memories within. Those memories included his many instances of getting fresh with Cat Cat, petting Aina into a daze, touching their feet in bed until they were covered in sweat, and even persuading Aina to marry him latera series of egregious behaviors! [Note: Garbage Traveler, so you realized that these are egregious behaviors? Youre truly sinful. But dont you feel a bit regretful now? You havent tasted the ice cream of those Beast Eared Girls yet; you should have taken a couple of bites back then~] Shut up, Damn Text, all you think about is eating ice cream! One day, if you become a girl wearing white stockings and come before me, Ill eat it! [Ding! Liyas Anger Value +20] [Ding! Liyas Anger Value +50] Luo Xi: "!" The surge of these emotions... Liya was probably on the verge of exploding. No, he had to pack up his belongings and scram, and fast. Chapter 208 - 173 Liya: How am I Supposed to Stay Rational! (4k)_2 Chapter 208: Chapter 173 Liya: How am I Supposed to Stay Rational! (4k)_2Although Luo Xi was aware that Liya might not necessarily do anything to him, he couldnt help being incredibly nervous. Luo Xi casually pet Ainas wolf ears again, held her small face with both hands, and gently said, "Aina, big brother has some urgent matters and must leave. Ill come back to see you all next time." Aina grabbed Luo Xis hands tightly, blinked, and asked curiously, "Brother Luo Xi, where are you going?" "Going to..." For a moment, Luo Xi didnt know where he was supposed to go. His knowledge of this world was exceedingly limited. Even now, he only knew he was in a place called Pan Continent. Winter City, with its population of more than 300,000, was just a small city on the roots of the Eternal World Tree Noah within the Shining Country. Aina moved closer to Luo Xi, looked him straight in the eyes, and with a slight curve of her lips, said, "Its okay if big brother doesnt want to say where hes going, but can you tell me what you are going to do?" "Going to do... Anyway, I have things to do." Aina said with a bit of grievance, "Is there anything more important right now than playing with Aina? There is no Sister Weier here, you know. Big brother can pet Ainas tail as much as he likes~" Luo Xi: "...." Thats it, this Wolf Eared Lolita is too much. If Aina were the same age as Cat Cat, perhaps it would be me being conquered by the Cute Wolf girl. [Note: The thought is so thrilling, damn Traveler. Upstairs are Mother-in-law and sister, while youre holding your little sister down here doing naughty things~ Hiss, Ive already called the police.] I havent done anything yet, okay! Luo Xi lowered his voice and said, "Aina, big brother is just going out for a walk and will be back soon. How about that?" Aina shook her head, hugged Luo Xis arm tightly, and said with puppy eyes, "(ߣ) "No, Brother Luo Xi cant leave now. Aina is afraid that if you leave, youll never come back. Have you forgotten the promise you made to Aina before?" Luo Xi: "..." If I say now that marriage or anything like that was just to deceive you. What would happen? [Note: Beware, the Hatchet Wolf Eared Lolita is coming online~] Better not then. Anyway, according to the timekeeping of this world, its just three years. I can wait, cant I? Aina is so cute, after all... its not a bad deal... [Note: Why wait, damn Traveler? Now is the cutest period of Ainas life. Dont you want to stain this Wolf Eared Lolita with your chaotic desires?] Ive called the police on the damn text too! Squeak Just then, the cover of the secret room was opened, and light streamed in. "Aina, what are you doing down there? Is there something else down there?" Liya called out softly from above and, with a few runes flicked away, the previously dim secret room was suddenly filled with bright light. That was Liyas voice! [Ding! Your Fright Value +40] "Aina, let go for a moment!" Luo Xi instinctively tried to withdraw the arm that Aina was hugging. However, Aina held on very tightly, not moving an inch, refusing to let go. "Aina? Is there someone else down there? Who is it?!" Liya directly jumped down from above and after landing, she looked up to see her youngest daughter, covered in dust, cuddling Luo Xis arm and acting coquettishly. Liya: "...." At this moment, Aina and Luo Xi could definitely be said to be in very close contact. Any parent would probably not feel very good seeing their daughter so intimately close to a man. Moreover, the two of them were in such a hidden place where no one else could see them. [Ding! Liyas Shock Value +88] [Ding! Liyas Anger Value +56] Luo Xi: "()." Im done for. Liya must have already learned those memories from the hat; now her impression of me must be even worse. Luo Xi raised his other hand and waved at Liya, managing a strained smile, "Uh, Lady Liya, its been a while, hasnt it?" "Yes, it has been a while indeed," Liya emphasized the phrase "it has been a while" heavily. Who would have thought that this guy would actually still be alive? Just who is he? Ill have a good study later~ Both that piece of Rune Power Armor and this guys situation are very precious research material. [Ding! Liyas Desire to Explore +100] Luo Xi felt a chill down his spine. Sarch* The NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Ding! Your Fear Value +20] Whats this strange emotional value now? (n?) Scared (jpg). He looked at the bottom right corner of the text. [Remaining synchronization time: 24 minutes] Why is there still so much time left! It really feels like each second is an eternity. Einsteins theory of relativity really doesnt lie. Liya gave Luo Xi a very friendly smile as she walked over, picking up Aina who had been clinging to Luo Xis arm and not letting go. She said with a smile, "Tell me, how do you want to die?" Luo Xi, "Can I not die?" "Mommy!" Aina said in Liyas grasp with a (n), "Aina wants to marry Brother Luo Xi in the future, so Mommy, could you please spare Brother? Brother has been really nice to Aina and Big Sister." Liya, "?" What the heck is this? I know hes been nice to you guys, otherwise he would have turned into ash by now. But is this something you can just blurt out about marrying him? Liya took another deep breath. Forget it, today is the day of reunion with her daughters; it should be a joyful day, no need to get angry. Stay rational... stay rational. Liya put Aina on the ground and tidied her somewhat messy hair, then helplessly scolded her, "You silly girl, Aina, did you sneak over here after smelling his scent on the upper floor? Your nose is still so sharp." "Ehehe~" The Little Wolf Girl hummed twice, smiling noncommittally. Liya cast a glance at Luo Xi who was standing by anxiously, "We better go upstairs first; its not good to stay here, and I have many things I need to ask you later." "Mm mm..." Luo Xi could only nod. [Note: The mother-in-laws thorough interrogation of the future son-in-law is about to start~] Why do you like to see me in trouble so much, damn text! Aina gave Luo Xi an encouraging smile, "Brother Luo Xi, do your best!" Make sure you leave a good impression on Mom~ "Ah..." Liya sighed softly. She waved her hand. Luo Xis body was instantly wrapped in a mass of runes, and after a light shake, he found himself transferred to the bedroom upstairs that was directly across from the secret room. At that moment, the voice of Cat Cat came. "Luo Xi, how come you are here..." Weier closed the door behind her, looking confusedly at Luo Xi who appeared in the bedroom with both his mother and Aina. When did this pervert get back? Luo Xi looked pitifully at Cat Cat with a (n?) expression on his face. Weier suddenly felt a desire to laugh. It was the first time she saw this guy with such an expression, and strangely enough, it brought her some joy. Liya pointed to the open cover beside the bed, "This guy somehow ended up in our secret room, Aina smelled him and went looking for him, and ended up with her tail and hair all messy." Weier peered over, noting Ainas tail that clearly had been tousled by hand. That looked exactly like something Luo Xi would do. However, for some reason, she had gotten used to Luo Xis antics, and didnt feel much anger even though Aina was petted. It wasnt the first or second time anyway... Weier turned to the young man who stood in place with a look of (n?) and said with a smile: "Welcome back, Luo Xi." This guy, although his eccentricities are a bit weird, he actually looked quite cool last night. Weier still remembered the warmth and sense of security Luo Xis hands brought her in that dungeon. And the moment when Nosss onslaught of poison came, and he unhesitatingly shielded her behind himself. Luo Xi was taken aback for a moment. Is Cat Cat talking to me? I didnt hear it wrong, did I? Liya, "..." Why do both my daughters seem brainwashed by this guy! Stay rational... How am I supposed to stay rational! Chapter 210 - 175 Aina: Let me go on a trip with brother, sister can go with mom! _1 Chapter 210: Chapter 175 Aina: Let me go on a trip with brother, sister can go with mom! _1Liya struggled for a while before finally replying with four characters. "Its passable." She also knew that Luo Xis response was not merely about the question she wanted to ask. Luo Xi was saying that in this period of time, everything he had done, he had done with a clear conscience, which is why he was as clear as a mirror. Truth be told, if Luo Xi werent afraid of death, nor her disdain, he could confidently point at her and tell her, so what if he had taken a few liberties with Weier and Aina? Of course, no matter what kind of person Luo Xi was, Liya would never truly harm him. If this variable named Luo Xi had not intervened this time, Liya could completely imagine the current situation, which would definitely have been quite terrible. Noss would have definitely used Weier to obtain the True Canon of the Winter Divine Tree, breaking the seal she had set in the past. Once Hiss completed his tier advancement, the Snow Disaster Mislat would descend, and the consequences would be imaginable. Luo Xi scratched the back of his neck and gave an awkward smile. Luckily, no one here knew the origin of what he had just said. Liya gazed at Luo Xis face. The questions she originally wanted to ask about his thoughts toward her daughters were all negated by her. There was no need to ask so straightforwardly anymore. Based on the memories left by the rune projection, the reason why Luo Xi was unwilling to leave with Aina alone was because he didnt want to give up on Weier. He had even called her projection "Lady Mother-in-law" several times. Although he had said it jokingly, who knows what his true thoughts were? Liya could easily guess what this young man was thinking. He wanted to take both her daughters with him. And if she had not returned, perhaps he would have already been successful by now, no, its certain he would have been. Both Weier and Aina obviously had a considerable favorability for him. After all, he had risked his life to save them, an undeniable fact, and young girls opening their hearts will always develop favorability toward males because of such things. So... lets change the approach then. Liya wanted to know, if he realized that all the effort he had made during this time would amount to nothing in the end, and Weier and Aina would not leave with him, how would his emotions and mentality change? "Considering your relationship with both Weier and Aina is not bad," Liya suddenly said, "I think theres something I must tell you, and I hope you can understand." Luo Xis heart contracted suddenly. What is it? Liya was speaking so solemnly, it must be a serious matter. [Note: Is it possible that Lady Mother-in-law is preparing to give her daughter to you? Have you been preordained to be the future son-in-law? Hooray!] Thats not impossible... Damn text, I know there are all kinds of things in dreams, but this is the dream world, and were not daydreaming, okay! "We are planning to leave the day after tomorrow," Liya looked at Luo Xi and said, "I will take both Weier and Aina with me. Do you have any thoughts? Where do you plan to go then? Or are you planning to continue living on Grey Stone Street? From those rune memory fragments, I know your relationship with Hill is also quite good, perhaps you can find a way to make a living in Winter City?" [Note: Hoho, now youre done for, garbage Traveler. The two wolf-eared Lolitas youve been painstakingly trying to entice away are about to be taken away by Lady Mother-in-law~ Wont you hold them back?] "Are you leaving the day after tomorrow?" Luo Xi couldnt help feeling a bit down. Then, Luo Xi shook his head and said with a light laugh, "Thats great, they have waited for Lady Liya for three years, and finally, you have returned. A family reunion is the most beautiful thing in this world. What can I possibly have to say about it?" "As for me, dont worry. The world is vast, and there are many places Im interested in. Ive wanted to wander around for some time." After all, as a traveler from another world, shouldnt he be traveling around? [Ding! Your Happiness Level -30] After Luo Xi finished speaking, he hung his head. He didnt expect to part ways so soon. Although Luo Xi had already anticipated it. Any normal parent wouldnt let their daughter go off with a strange man, would they? It would be a display of irresponsibility. And in Liyas view, he didnt have enough strength to adequately protect her daughters, even though this time he truly did save both of them. Luo Xi neither dared nor wished to make such an excessive request to Liya. If Liya hadnt returned, then it would be another matter. But she had come back. The mother and daughters reunited, Weier and Aina snuggling up to their mother looked so happy, how could he disrupt such a scene? Otherwise, what could he say? Would you leave your daughters to me, and Ill take them traveling? Just thinking about it made Luo Xi feel as if he was no longer himself; that would be truly despicable. [Note: So, Traveler, why do you feel unhappy?] Who knows? Luo Xi was sure that he didnt force himself to say those words. Its just... he was just sad, thats all. Is being sad not allowed? Liya felt the vibrations coming from the rune. Was this young man feeling very downhearted now? But when he said those words with a smile, his tone was very sincere. It didnt seem fake. Liya nodded and said, "Im glad you understand. By the way, you can take that Furnace Core and the Rune Power Armor with you; nobody else can use it other than you now." She raised her hand, and in a halo of light, the black iron ball and hat appeared beside Luo Xi from where they lay in the living room. "Hmm," Luo Xi muttered. He examined the black iron ball. [Rune Power Armor: StarFire (Dormant Mode)] Was this his parting gift? Not too shabby. Weier watched Luo Xi, who was smiling but seemed somewhat pathetic, and felt an inexplicable tightness in her heart. Although this guy was indeed a pervert, he shouldnt be treated this way. The experiences of the past few days werent untrue, and sometimes Weier would suddenly get the illusion that Luo Xi had died several times in front of her. Even though Luo Xi had actually only died that one time in front of her... "Mom" Weier wanted to say, Mom, since Im already grown up, it wouldnt hurt to go see the world with this guy. Just take good care of Aina. I will visit you regularly. Liya hummed lightly. The white runes flickered. Lady Liya didnt even have to guess what her eldest daughter was thinking. Weier immediately found that her voice couldnt carry at all, her body was frozen in place on the stool by the power of the runes, only her head and tail behind could still sway. The girl felt anxious but couldnt utter a single word. "Mom." At this moment, Aina said softly, "Brother Luo Xi once said that if he were to travel later on, he would take Aina with him. Aina doesnt want to break his promise, so mom, why dont you go with Weier first the day after tomorrow, and Aina will travel with Brother Luo Xi for a period of time, how about that?" Luo Xi: "()" Weier: "???" [Note: Still, its the Cute Wolf Little Aina whos empathetic towards you, garbage Traveler~] Luo Xi also suddenly remembered something. A long time ago, the Wolf Eared Lolita seemed to have given him a quest. There should still be a record of it in the quest log. [Ainas Quest: Take her along when you leave to travel] (From Chapter 33) [Quest Reward: Ainas Favorability towards you +50] Aina, the child, might have long been looking forward to seeing the outside world, only she had not thought of leaving Grey Stone Street because of Lady Liya. Weier blinked at Luo Xi, wanting to say something. But the words she uttered couldnt be heard at all. She then looked at Aina, and her tail reached out towards her. As a result, Aina turned her head and caught her sisters tail in her hands, seriously saying, "Weier sister, Aina knows what you want to say, Aina will definitely take good care of Brother Luo Xi!" Weier (n) pulled back her own tail that Aina was holding. Im so angry! Mom and Aina are both stupid! Cat Cat stared at Luo Xi, who seemed to have become mute, with an exasperated look. And Luo Xi, you say something too! You were so eager to invite me to travel with you, and you kept fondling me during that time, so why are you silent now? Youre not the perverted you at all! Hurry up and change back to the real Luo Xi! Liya: "..." My heart is so tired. Have these two daughters really not been brainwashed by some psychic skill or ability? Luo Xi lowered his head and checked his remaining synchronization time. Eighteen minutes left. So slow. All he wanted now was to leave the Dream World and get some proper rest. Aina wanted to say something more. Liya tapped Ainas head and said softly, "Aina, do you think mom would let you, a young girl, go out with an unfamiliar male alone? How old are you even?" Weier nodded repeatedly on the side. Aina ??? said, "But Brother Luo Xi is not an unfamiliar male, he has been very nice to Aina, and he is going to marry Aina in the future" S~ea??h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Liya flicked her finger. The runes flickered. In an instant, Aina was silenced and immobilized by Liya as well, only able to exchange glances with her sister by her side, each staring down the other. Luo Xi: "." Lady Liya, are you sure this wont cause the kids to become rebellious? Seizing the opportunity, Weier stretched her tail out and tapped Ainas head a couple of times. Stupid sister! Aina (ߣ) puffed up her little face. Sister is so mean! Aina also wanted to stretch her tail out to tap her sisters head, but her tail was not long enough, and in the end, it turned into Weier teasing Aina with her tail. Liya glanced at her two daughters and said, "Alright, Ive told you now, and you can just ignore what Aina said. The child is young and doesnt understand anything." Luo Xi instinctively wanted to nod. Was this Liyas way of not pursuing the matter of him misleading Aina about marrying him? Then Luo Xi saw Aina looking at him across with a pitiful face, her tea-gold eyes brimming with big tears, as if she would immediately start crying if he nodded. After hesitating for a moment, Luo Xi nodded anyway. It was all because of the silly things he blurted out, plus the time discrepancies that he had not been able to backtrack, that this Wolf Eared Lolita had such high favorability towards him. Now, it was time for everything to return to the right track. And then there was Weier... Luo Xi suddenly felt hesitant to face Cat Cat directly, her resentful gaze making him squirm uncomfortably. Luo Xi suddenly stood up, collected the black iron balls on the ground, and put his hat on his head. Without looking at Weier and Ainas reactions, he pressed down on the hat: "Lady Liya, if theres nothing else, I would like to commence my journey today, is that alright? I do have quite a few places Id like to go." "Today is Weiers birthday, wont you stay for a meal?" "Id better not." "Okay." Luo Xi nodded, turned around, and walked towards the bedroom door. Then, under the astonished gazes of everyone, he passed through the living room, opened the living room door, and headed downstairs. After walking for a few minutes, Luo Xi looked back at the long street filled with snow. This is good. Isnt it? [Note: Garbage Traveler, youre crying~] I am not. Its just the snow getting in my eyes. ... Liya watched helplessly as Aina, although she couldnt make a sound, cried a river, and Weier was angry. You two kids, you dont know how much effort your mom put into testing that guy! Chapter 212 - 177 Liya: Steal from my house and you think you can escape? You wish!_1 Chapter 212: Chapter 177 Liya: Steal from my house and you think you can escape? You wish!_1Cat Cats exasperated tone caught Luo Xi off guard. "What do you mean irresponsible and running off without a word?" emmmm... Running off without saying goodbye, he admitted, but irresponsible? That, he couldnt accept! [Note: Trash Traveler, stop overthinking. This is the perfect opportunityboth Beast Eared Girls are here. Why not take them with you? Let the mother-in-law guard the vacant room alone!] Goddamn guarding a vacant room! Damn Text, you sure have a surplus of bad ideas. Luo Xi turned his right hand and grasped Cat Cats small hand from behind. Her hand was as soft and boneless as ever, conveying the warm body temperature of a girl. Weier was slightly panicked, but this time she didnt withdraw her hand. Instead, a sly smile formed on her lips, "You pervert, here you are again!" Thats more like it! This was the pervert she knew. The Luo Xi who had been timid and silent in front of their mother, Weier felt, was like another person. Luo Xi removed his hat from his head and smiled, "Then how do you want me to be responsible to you?" "Hands and feet are forgivable, but youve groped that place of mine several times..." Weier subconsciously covered her chest, blushed halfway through her sentence, and glanced at Aina, who was hugging Luo Xi. "Never mind mine, what about Aina? Look how silly youve coaxed her. My mother also feels its not right to just let you go like this; that would be too cheap for you!" Luo Xi: "?" Why do I feel your sister is smarter than you, Cat Cat? "Yeah, yeah." Aina echoed sweetly from Luo Xis arms, "Brother Luo Xi needs to take responsibility for Aina! In three years Aina will have grown up and certainly be taller than Weier sister, with an even better figure. Maybe as good as moms! Aina will definitely be comfier to cuddle than Weier sister!" Luo Xi: "..." What in the world is this Wolf Eared Lolita saying, such outrageous things. Shes making it sound as if all he wants is their bodies. [Note: Trash Traveler, arent you just like that?] Of course not! At least Im not old! Weier, listening to her foolish sisters nonsensical talk, felt several p of anger burst forth on her forehead. Does any sister in the world demean her sister like this? Whats more, if outsiders saw this scene, wouldnt they think the two sisters were fighting jealously over a man? Just the thought made her want to die. Weier had no idea that, if outsiders saw this scene, the one who would most want to die would actually be Luo Xi. "Aina, get down from there! What will people think?" Weier withdrew her hand from Luo Xi and wrapped her arms around Ainas waist, trying to pull her sister off Luo Xi. "Dont wanna, dont wanna!" Aina clung desperately to Luo Xis waist (n) and said, "Weier sister just wants to pull Aina off so she can go up herself! I dont want that! Youre too late, sister, so this spot is mine now, and I wont let Brother Luo Xi get away this time. In two days, no matter where mom goes, why not just take Brother Luo Xi along, right?" Weier grimaced and took a deep breath. However, Cat Cats heart stirred. Maybe it could actually work? Is that what mom was thinking too? Otherwise, there was no need to call Luo Xi back. Truthfully, Weier did have a tiny bit of desire to go out with Luo Xi, but having just reunited with her mother, she didnt want to leave so easily. Luo Xi was moved. They were just passersby in his life, with whom he hadnt spent much time, yet they were so eager to keep him by their side. [Note: After all, you, Trash Traveler, managed to raise the Favorability of both Beast Eared Lolitas above two hundred] The text flickered. [Current Ainas Favorability towards you: 226 (Affectionate Likeness)] [Description: Likes brother and wants to be with him forever, and marry him when grown up. If possible, she wants to have him all to herself and kick sister out~)] [Current Weiers Favorability towards you: 214 (Definitely doesnt like this pervert!)] [Description: Who likes this pervert? I just want to go out and see the world with him. (Cat Cat is as tsundere as ever~)] [Current Liyas Favorability towards you: 67 (Holding back the urge to slap you)] [Description: No mother in the world would look kindly upon a man whos beguiled both her daughters and stolen their hearts] [Note: What might happen if you could raise the mother-in-laws Favorability above two hundred? A mother-daughter combo? Sounds great! (But 404 warning)] Who the hell dares to raise Liyas Favorability! Liyas experience is not something Weier and Aina can compare with. Luo Xi did not believe his sweet talk would work on her. "Brother Luo Xi?" Aina called out uncertainly from Luo Xis embrace. Luo Xi patted Ainas hair. "Hehe~" The Little Wolf Girl closed her eyes in bliss, resembling a dog being petted at the most comfortable spot, her moist eyes shimmering with a golden luster. [Note: Trash Traveler, dont just focus on petting the Little Wolf Girl, Cat Cat needs your affection too~] Luo Xi glanced at Weier beside him, then noticed she was gazing at him with longing. Cat Cat discontentedly said, "Stop petting her. First, youre coming back with us. The Snow Field is not safe. Once we are home, I want to see if you dare to pat Ainas head in front of mother." Luo Xi: "." His mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts in an instant. "Is it really okay to just go back like this?" Even if Liya let him go with them, Luo Xi did not feel it was a good thing, always having a feeling like he was receiving charity. Although Liya was indeed very strong, as a Dreamland Traveler from reality, he did not need to cower behind the strong. [Note: Isnt it nice to depend on women?] But its not good to bite the big one with the bigger one watching, is it? It was time to make a decision. There were still so many things in this world worth exploring. Luo Xi did not want to trap himself in one place. Suddenly, Luo Xi pulled away the hand of Aina, who was in his arms, then tossed Little Wolf Girl into Weiers embrace. "Catch!" "Huh?" Weier caught Aina, who was thrown at her, with a confused face. Aina also turned her head back in confusion right away. "Brother Luo Xi?" [Ding! Weiers confusion Value +40] [Ding! Ainas confusion Value +50] Luo Xi smiled, took two steps backward, pressed his gentlemans hat back onto his head, and then took out the black iron sphere from his bag. In an instant, the black iron sphere softened like liquid, climbed up from the bottom of Luo Xis feet, rapidly took shape, and then became a solid black metal shell, his entire body gradually growing taller. [Rune Power Armor - Starfire has been activated] "Starfire welcomes its masters entry!" Weiers red pupils shrank, "Luo Xi, what are you doing? I told you to come back with me!" Listening to Starfires welcome message by his ear, Luo Xi shook his head and smiled, "Ive told you, Im not from this world; its dangerous to be with me. You should just live well with your mother from now on. After three years, there must be a lot you can talk about, right?" "Theres no feast that doesnt end, so lets meet again if fate allows. Oh, and please tell that Chu Tian, just say Im going out for a stroll to get a sense of the basic situation of this world, we can chat again offline in the future." Sometimes, one must not do things that go against ones true nature for selfish desires. Even if they agreed, what then? Luo Xi couldnt really take both of them away. Taking children away from their mothers side is the cruelest thing in the world. [Ding! Traveler, your morality +20] Starfire completely covered Luo Xis body in five seconds. Then the armor sped off into the distance, becoming a black streak at an unimaginable speed. Luo Xi felt like he was on a motorcycle going two hundred miles per hour. Unfortunately, it seemed that Starfire did not have the ability to fly yet. He wondered whether it was because of his own lack of strength, or because it was missing some sort of flight module component. [Note: So youre just running off, Traveler? Dont want the Beast Eared Lolita anymore?] Didnt you already see it, Damn Text? Like that famous quote from a certain card game animewomen are troublesome, I aim to be the strongest in the world! "Brother Luo Xi..." Aina stood there, dazed. She looked back at the place where they had come from. Sarch* The NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Weier tried to chase after him for a few steps, then realized that she couldnt catch up at all. The girl stretched out her trembling little hand toward the black figure that had already gone far away, trying to grab onto something. She had a premonition. If she did not follow his footsteps this time, if she did not grasp him now, in the future, she would never be able to stay by his side again. Even if one day they could meet somewhere again, maybe by then there would be someone else taking her place. She knew him, he was that kind of person. Even though she always called him a pervert, she was still attracted by what he had done during this time. His very existence shone like the sun, even in overcast skies, capable of emitting dazzling light, guiding those wandering lost in the gloom. "Dont go..." Weier hung her head, crying uncontrollably, "I, I still have something I havent told you... I..." Boom! Suddenly, in the distance, large swathes of snow were flung up into the air, and the lower Tier Origin Beasts hidden in the Snow Field were scared and scattered everywhere. Seconds later, a white rune circle appeared in front of Weier, and a beautiful figure emerged from the circle with a black objectit was Liya. In her hands was Starfire, which had already been far away but now was restrained by a horde of runes. Weier, not bothering to wipe the tears on her face, joyfully said, "Mother... did you bring him back?" "Yes, brought him back." Liya tossed the object in her hand onto the snowy ground, then stepped on Starfires head and said with a smirk, "So it was you, kid, who stole everything from my home, right? Clothes, bed, cabinet, sofa, and even Weier and Aina, it seems you took it all, and you thought you could just run away without returning them? Wishful thinking!" Weier was taken aback. Arent Aina and I still here? Aina walked over, squatted beside the armor, rested her chin in her hands, and smiled slightly. "Brother Luo Xi, youre back, huh~" Luo Xi inside Starfire (n?) looked at Liya, who was stepping on his head. Such a terrifying mother-in-law. [Note: Congratulations! The invincible road of the garbage Traveler has been closed by the mother-in-law Lord after a brief 20 seconds, and the journey of abducting the Wolf Eared Lolita restarts from here!] Chapter 213 - 178: Will Mother-in-Law Entrust Her Daughters to the Trashy Traveler? _1 Chapter 213: Chapter 178: Will Mother-in-Law Entrust Her Daughters to the Trashy Traveler? _1Luo Xi now only wanted to drag the guy squatting behind the damn text out and give him a thorough lesson! Why do you take so much pleasure in others misfortune! "Stole so much from my house, and you think you can just leave without returning them? Dream on!" With a gentle smile, Liya stepped on Sparks head, and the armor shell, which should have been incredibly sturdy, made a sound of shattering under the pressure from nowhere. [Ding! Your Happiness Level -20] [Ding! Your Fright Value +10] Luo Xi (n?) watched Liyas shoe soles smeared with snow. [Note: Garbage Traveler, arent you going to take the chance to see what color your mother-in-law is wearing today?] Look at your hammer! Since Liya was wearing thick winter clothes, there wouldnt be those classic fanservice scenes, and given the situation now, even if he could see them, Luo Xi wouldnt dare to look. At this moment, Luo Xi felt a bit wronged. Its just some furniture, Ill return them to you. And Ive left your two precious daughters here, when did I ever take them away? How can you tell such a blatant lie! Luo Xi said, "Um, Lady Liya, could you move your foot, please? Ill return your furniture to you in a moment." [Remaining synchronization time: 8 minutes 20 seconds] In just another eight minutes, he could leave this world and send all the stuff from that old house in reality back to this world. Now thinking about it, he did act somewhat inappropriately. Initially, he planned to leave with Weier and the others, and thats why he moved everything out of their house, but now he was preparing to leave alone and forgot to return those items. After all, many of them were the private belongings of those two sisters. "Heh." Liya scoffed coldly and put a bit more force into her foot. Crack Luo Xi (((;???;))) watched as the armor piece next to him was crushed inward, and the shoe was already rubbing against his face, a few centimeters more, and he feared his head would be stomped into oblivion. "Ahwoo~" The little elf, Spark, let out a tired yawn and floated in front of Luo Xi, saying with droopy eyelids, "Master, the Yuan Su I burned through last night hasnt fully recovered, and its running low again already. I cant repair the damage anymore, so let Spark sleep for a bit. Its pretty safe right now anyway~" "Wait a minute! This is not safe at all, right? Spark, didnt you see the woman outside?" "I saw, but we surely cant beat her... This woman doesnt have any murderous intent either, woof~ Master, good luck, goodnight~ mua." Spark hugged Luo Xis forehead, kissed him, and then shattered into countless points of light right before his eyes. At the same time, the sturdy black armor on Luo Xis body gradually turned into a black liquid flowing toward the side, reverting back into that black iron sphere. Liya also retracted her foot. If she just kept stepping on this guys head, wouldnt she be rewarding him? "Get up," Liya said. Luo Xi shakily got up from the snowy ground. Liya crouched down halfway and smiled, "Forget about the furniture. We wont be living here anymore anyway. But what about Weier and Aina? How are you going to return them to me?" "Huh? Arent they both right here?" Luo Xis face was a mix of confusion and shock from Liyas words. Then, he felt a poke on his face. Luo Xi turned his head to see the smiling Little Wolf Girl. "Aina?" "Brother, your face is a little dirty." Gently, Aina used her sleeve to wipe off the dirt from where Liyas shoe had rubbed against Luo Xis face. [Ding! Your Touching Value +20] As expected, Aina was the best. The Little Wolf Girl said faintly, "Brother Luo Xi, why did you try to run just now? It seems Aina needs to think of a way to keep her disobedient brother by her side at all times." Luo Xi: "..." He shuddered. This Wolf Eared Lolita wouldnt really start to become a yandere, would she? [Note: Garbage Traveler, you brought this upon yourself. Deceiving pure and adorable girls, flirt and run without taking responsibility, you scumbag! Remember that the end for scumbags is the woodshed!] Thats not deception though! Other than those words about living freely which he said to Aina, he never lied to them. He just wanted them to live a good life with their mother! "Pervert..." After a mutter that sounded like a reproach, Luo Xi felt something soft press against his back, and two slender hands reached from behind, encircling his waist. "Cat Cat..." Resting her head against his back, Weier spoke with her voice quivering with tears, "Cant you wait a bit long? Trust me, I can persuade mom. When the time comes, we can let mom take Aina and leave first, then we can go to distant places together..." Ainas fur immediately bristled, her wolf ears perking up, (n) she said, "Sister, youre so mean! Why shouldnt mom take you away instead! Aina wants to go too! Otherwise, nobody goes! Let Brother Luo Xi go out and deceive other girls!" Liyas expression darkened slightly. These two kids acted as if leaving with her was something very distressing. She wanted to curse. Suddenly, Liyas voice rang directly in Luo Xis ear: "Boy, you look again, are you sure you havent taken them away? My two daughters have been turned into this by you, and now you want to just walk away and leave me to clean up the mess, you wish!" Luo Xi: "..." So what am I supposed to do? [Note: So, you heavy sinner of a Traveler, did you really think the Lord Mother-in-law was only saying you stole their bodies? Thought you could just hit it and quit it? Impossible!] Whats the solution then! Favorability was so high, and I couldnt just reduce it randomly. I had no idea how many times Id already taken advantage of Cat Cats generosity, but it would only annoy her momentarily. Her favorability wouldnt decrease even by a bit. Not to mention Aina. Ever since that day when her favorability underwent a qualitative change, any kind of affectionate gesture would only cause it to increase. Seeing Luo Xis bewildered expression, Liya smiled satisfactorily. She took out the Echo of Azure from a ring of runes, casually waved her hand, and in an instant, a huge white rune circle engulfed everyone. Aina instinctively threw herself into Luo Xis arms, and in a blink, the few figures on the Snow Field vanished. Grey Stone Street. The living room of a house. Chu Tian was somewhat anxious as he sat on the sofa. Brother Luo isnt really just going to leave like that, is he? Hill turned back from the window, her eyes flickering with an ice-blue light, and smiled, "Its resolved, Aunt Liya is commendable, theyre coming back." Chu Tian was puzzled, "Hmm?" On the carpet of the living room, after the disappearance of a rune circle, four people suddenly appeared. Liya glanced at her two daughters on the carpet huddled with Luo Xi, and her brows twitched slightly. Sear?h the ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. This time, lets let it slide. Ignoring the fact that he flirted with her daughters, "My conscience as clear as a mirror... This young man named Luo Xi, he truly did as he promised." Moreover, the flirting wasnt really excessive in the end. Chu Tian watched the scene with shock. Whats going on here? Luo Xi was currently holding the Wolf Eared Lolita in his arms, and the Cat Lady behind him was also clinging tightly to him, as if she was afraid hed run away. Surrounded in an embrace, and the mother of the two beast-eared lolitas appeared to turn a blind eye to the situation. Could it be that Brother Luo has already won over Lady Liya in such a short time? That hes taken the whole family? [Ding! Chu Tians Envy Value toward you +40] Luo Xi attempted to stand up from the floor. However, Weier and Aina held him down, not allowing him the chance to get up. [Ding! Your Happiness Level +30] [Note: The long-missed Happiness Level is back! Indeed, cuddling with the beast-eared lolitas is the source of happiness for you, the garbage Traveler, isnt it?] But this happiness comes with the risk of Lady Liyas wrath! Liya nodded slightly to the few people in the living room, "I apologize for the interruption, I had to take care of some family matters. Ill prepare dinner in a bit. Lena, please clean the ingredients." "Yes, Teacher, Ive almost finished," Lenas voice came from the kitchen. "Thank you." Liya once again levitated the three on the carpet into the bedroom and then slammed the door shut. Chu Tian stared dumbfounded at the bedroom door. All he could think to describe it was one word. 6. The bedroom. Liya separated the three and placed them each on a stool. This time, she sat on the stool opposite, while Luo Xi and Wei Er Ainuo were on the three stools facing her. "Alright, you can speak now." Liya snapped her fingers lightly. The three had been silenced from the moment they teleported. Luo Xi shrank his neck and said tentatively, "What should I say?" Weier and Aina at Luo Xis sides immediately became anxious. Why couldnt they speak? Liya cast a glance at her two daughters, "Whats the hurry? Listen to me first! And you, youre called Luo Xi, right? Everything I said before was to test you. Do you think I would drive away the savior of my daughters? Besides, you saved me too." Luo Xi nodded instinctively then, seeing Liyas gaze sharpen, hastily shook his head. He asked in confusion, "Lady Liya, what exactly are you trying to do? Why did you bring me back here?" The reason Liya gave about stealing from her house seemed unconvincing to Luo Xi. If Liya hadnt intercepted Spark midway, Luo Xi was indeed ready to up and leave, for he had already gained quite a lot from Winter City, not least the Rune Power Armor named Sparka tremendous gain. [Note: Lady Liya is testing the character of a potential son-in-law~ Of course, she couldnt just let you run off like that.] Damn text, shut it. Luo Xi glanced at the hint from the text. [Remaining Synchronization Time: 2 minutes and 20 seconds] Almost there. Liya smiled and said, "I have a commission for you, though you can choose not to accept it; it doesnt really matter to me." Luo Xi asked, perplexed, "A commission? What commission?" "In a few days, Ill be returning to my original family clan, and for some reasons, I cant take Weier and Aina with me," Liya said nonchalantly. "So, I hope you can take care of Weier and Aina for a period of time. Do you accept this commission?" Weier and Aina glanced at each other, stunned, unable to believe what their mother had just said. Luo Xi said, somewhat baffled, "You want me to take care of Weier and Aina? Are you sure you didnt make a mistake?" Am I hallucinating? From the beginning, Luo Xi had never considered such a far-fetched possibility. Which mother would entrust their daughters to a stranger they didnt know? [Note: Traveler, you have been gifted two daughters by Lady Liya, now how do you feel about that?] Chapter 214 - 179 The Body Check-up of My Mother-in-law and the No Longer Lonely Journey_1 Chapter 214: Chapter 179 The Body Check-up of My Mother-in-law and the No Longer Lonely Journey_1[Ding! Your Shock Value +30] Luo Xi completely couldnt make sense of Lady Liyas request. The other party clearly should have better candidates available. As her disciple, wouldnt Lena be a better choice than himself? Even Weier and Aina didnt need anyone to take care of them, as they had already been living on Grey Stone Street on their own for three years. [Note: So, this is the mother-in-laws parting gift to her daughter~ Damn Traveler, arent you going to kneel and thank her?] What bullshit is the Damn Text talking about? Since when do parents give their children away as gifts! Luo Xi glanced at Cat Cat on one side. Weier also had a face full of shock and confusion. Aina had a similar expression. Both seemed to want to speak, but they couldnt utter a word. "So, whats your answer?" Liya asked. "Uh, cough cough." Luo Xi cleared his throat. "Well, its possible, but are you sure you want to leave them..." "Sure, but if you accept this commission, I have another request." Liya gazed at Luo Xis face, revealing a beautiful smile: "Im quite curious about your body, let me have a little examination and study, that shouldnt be a problem, right?" Luo Xi: "???" What the hell? Weier was originally somewhat anxious. Hearing her mothers words, her pretty face suddenly stiffened. Study? Her mother isnt going to chop Luo Xi up for research, is she? "If you dont speak, Ill take it as your consent." Liya chuckled: "Lets not delay, and get started. Wei Er Ainuo, you two rest here for a bit. Ill probably need about fifteen minutes to ascertain his physical condition. Its hard to imagine any method of Sublimation or Mutation in this world that could accomplish this, considering his body can bear Tier-Five factors, resurrection abilities, and the capacity for spatial storage from First-tier." [Ding! Lady Liyas Desire to Explore +60] Luo Xi: "!" In an instant, dazzling light burst forth, countless white runes enveloped Luo Xis vision, whizzing past him. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a white space, surrounded by pulsating runes. [Ding! You have entered a special location, your synchronized time is updated to ???] What? Luo Xi was flabbergasted. Can you let me out first? [Note: Keep calm, the mother-in-law is just seeing if the Damn Traveler is growing up properly~] Liya snapped her fingers. The white space suddenly warmed up, with a great number of runes starting to converge and reassemble. Soon after, the scent of fresh grass wafted into Luo Xis nostrils. Breezes, warm sunshine, green grass, and flowing water; within a short minute, the white space transformed before Luo Xis eyes. Lady Liya, massaging her temples, said: "It seems a little forced to do this without the Divine Tree, using my own power, huh?" All Luo Xi could think was that this was outrageous enough. [Note: This is why the mother-in-law is the ultimate powerhouse~] "This is my realm of Sublimation." Seeing Luo Xis stunned face, Liya explained: "This is an ability that every Transcendence being above Tier Four has. Its just unuseable under the influence of the Divine Tree, so dont think that just because you managed to beat Noss, you can underestimate Tier Fours. His strength was suppressed by at least eighty percent by the Winter Divine Tree." Luo Xi nodded vigorously like a pecking rooster. The mother-in-law is right. Liya smiled, "Can I begin now?" Luo Xi swallowed hard. "Do I need to take off my clothes?" Liya shook her head: "No need, its similar to the examination by my Projection last time, just more thorough." [Note: Are you a little disappointed, Damn Traveler?] How could I be! Liyas purple eyes revealed strange inscriptions. In a moment, Luo Xis body was frozen in place, with many runes leaping from the nearby grass into his body. Liya closed her eyes, feeling carefully. After a while, Liya said with confusion, "Strange, how the Tier-Five factor is so stable inside you. Although theres a sign of deepening mutation, you shouldnt be feeling any pain, right?" "No...." "Use your Mutation ability, you should have some fire attribute, right? Use your full strength." "Okay..." And so, Luo Xis clothes were burnt to ashes by black and red flames. Before he could end up running around naked, Liya snapped her fingers, and runes flowed over, fashioning him new clothes. Sar?h the N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Cant figure it out... And how exactly do you resurrect? Your body appears quite normal aside from the Mutant Factor erosion. By the way, can you still resurrect now?" "It seems like I can..." "Can I kill you once to check?" "...." Liya frowned. Luo Xis case was puzzling to her. Luckily she was a master of runes and not alchemy; otherwise, she might not have been able to resist dissecting Luo Xi, such a high-quality material, to study. "Do you know why you can resurrect?" Lady Liya asked. Luo Xi ventured, "Great Will?" Liyas purple eyes suddenly narrowed: "You mean the Great Will has been Blessing you all along? Impossible! The Great Will is absolutely impartial, existing in every corner of the world, it cant be Blessing a single individual!" After thinking, Luo Xi said, "Lady Liya, theres something I have to tell you. There are many people like me, such as Chu Tian, and what Im currently doing is akin to dreaming, entering this world." "I understand." After a moment of silence, Liya said, "So, your spirit and soul came to this world in some way, while your real body remains in another world, correct? After your death, the Great Will reshapes your body here, no wonder you say you are a Traveler from Otherworlds." "Yes..." Luo Xi had already told Cat Cat and the others these words, but they just didnt believe him at first. Luo Xi wondered, after Lady Liya knew this, would she retract her earlier statement? Frowning, Liya asked, "Then why did you come to this world? What is your purpose? Can I go to your world?" [Ding! Lady Liyas Desire to Explore you +70] Luo Xi shook his head. It wasnt that he didnt want to tell her, but he didnt know either, unable to satisfy the Lord Mothers Desire to Explore. "Lets get back to the point." Narrowing her eyes, Liya said, "What are your thoughts about Weier and Aina? I want the truth, otherwise everything said before is null and void." Luo Xi: "..." Wasnt it a health checkup? How did the conversation come circling back again? He hesitated before answering, "I really like them." [Note: This is the truth~] Narrowing her eyes, Liya asked, "Why them?" "Theres no particular reason," Luo Xi shook his head and said. "At first, it was because I wanted to pet their ears and tails. Later, I realized they were in danger, stuck in the mire of Winter City, so I wanted to pull them out, thats all." "And dont get me wrong, the like Im talking about doesnt mean that way." "Heh," Liya said icily. "Your sweet talk reminds me of the playboys who pursued me when I was young. You charmed Weier and Aina into your hands just like that, didnt you?" Luo Xi: "..." I havent really charmed them into my hands though. [Note: If it werent for the Lord Mothers return, you garbage Traveler, you mightve really charmed them into your hands~] Damn it! "Alright, theres nothing much to check anyway. Go out first; Weier and the rest are already getting anxious." ... "Sister, where did mom take Brother Luo Xi?" Aina paced restlessly beside Weier like an ant on a hot pan. Weier, sitting on a stool and listlessly playing with her tail, said, "Who knows? Right now, I just want to know why mom had to leave. I thought she just wanted to take us to live somewhere far away." Aina stopped in her tracks, stood in front of Weier, then jumped onto her sisters lap. "Aina?" "I havent sat on sisters lap for a long time~ Dont overthink it, Sister Weier." Aina said earnestly, "Didnt mom say it was very hard to carry baby you out? Now that shes going back, she definitely cant take us with her." Softly, Weier said, "But why does she have to go back... Wont that place make her sad?" Quietly, Aina said, "Mom must have her reasons, and Sister, didnt you hear what mom said earlier about giving Brother a checkup?" "Mhm..." Weier nodded. "Wuu" Aina pouted her lips; looking like she might burst into tears any moment. They were talking about a checkup just now; she dared not imagine what else they could have done. Could it be that her mom was her greatest rival in the future? How could she possibly compete? Would she have to start calling Brother Luo Xi dad from now on? She really didnt want that! Suddenly, a white rune halo appeared in the bedroom, and Luo Xi and Liya walked out from it. Ainas spirits instantly lifted. Only ten minutes had passed, so they probably hadnt done anything! Then, Aina sharply noticed that Luo Xi was wearing a different set of clothes. What happened to Brothers original clothes?! Aina rushed over to hug Luo Xi, saying with a sorrowful face, "Brother Luo Xi, why did you change your clothes? Did mom do something to you? But dont worry, Aina wont disdain Brother." "Silly daughter, what are you talking about!" Liya, annoyed, gave Aina a smack on the head. What has this child been watching these past three years? "Ouch!" The Little Wolf Girl crouched down holding her head, her pitiable appearance tugging at ones heartstrings. Luo Xi couldnt help but smile as he gently patted Ainas head. Then, Weier asked softly, "Mom, youll come back, wont you? It wont be like last time, three years ago, right?" Liya turned around, gazing at her biological elder daughter, and smiled, "Yes, I definitely will. At most half a year, and Ill come back to find you. You two just need to take good care of yourselves." "Understood." Weier looked at Luo Xi, blinked, and with a radiant smile, said, "So arent you going to invite me? Or is it that your courage only grows when youre taking liberties?" Luo Xi was taken aback. [Note: You fool, hurry up and ask? Do you need the girl to take the initiative?] Only then did Luo Xi realize what Cat Cat was implying. He smiled, extended his hand to the girl, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Would you like to come with me on a journey... to see the mountains and rivers of this world?" Weiers pretty face blushed, and she placed her small hand in his, then turned her head and huffed, "That sounds so gross. You really are a pervert, arent you." [Ding! Weiers Favorability towards you +10] Aina, holding Luo Xis other hand (n), said, "Brother Luo Xi is so biased, why didnt you say that to Aina!" Liya looked on, her eyebrows twitching incessantly. Was it really the right choice to leave her daughters with this guy? [Ding! Free Mission: No Longer a Lonely Journey Completion 100%] [You received the Reward: Cradle and Nest (Gold/Legend/Unique)] [Description: When people from the Dream world sleep in the cradle, theres a chance they will dream of your world, and a pod will form in the nest (Was it me who dreamed of you, or you who dreamed of me?)] [This synchronization ends here.

(4200)_1Luo Xi slowly opened his eyes. The dilapidated ceiling of the old buildings first floor came into his view. Smelling the fragrance of flowers on the quilt beneath him, Luo Xi suddenly felt an urge to cry. This initial dungeon of Winter City Hell had finally been cleared. He had never played a game that lasted so long. It was like having a very long dream. sea??h th n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Actually, it indeed had been a very long dream. Of course, the gains were plentiful, just the existence of Spark alone was worth the time he spent, not to mention the rewards of completing the quest and those few materials. All together, they were definitely worth his efforts during this period. Suddenly, the text in front of Luo Xi jumped. [Note: Isnt the biggest gain the successful kidnapping of two beast-eared Lolitas? Moreover, this was a task entrusted by your mother-in-law, Lord, which means, damn Traveler, you can do some shy and bashful things to them without any worries after your mother-in-law leaves~] Who would do that!....Touching ears and tails doesnt count! Luo Xi glanced at the normal text. [Traveler, Liya ignored your interactions with her daughters and, looking at you, said in a serious tone, "Your spirit seems off, have you left this world in soul? Are you remotely controlling a body in this world?"] Luo Xi: "..." Typical Liya. She realized it so quickly. ["Left our world in soul?"] [Weier and Aina were also shocked by their mother revealing the truth about you being a Traveler from another world] [Before this, you only told them that you were not from this world, without detailing the more specific parts] [Weiers expression grew complicated] [She said in a forlorn voice, "No wonder you never woke up when I called you during your sleep. Is it because you were not here at that time? How much of the day is actually you?"] ["Sister, dont think too much, brother is brother after all."] [Aina took your hand, her tea-golden eyes full of hope as she looked at you and said, "Then, can Aina meet the real Brother Luo Xi?"] [Traveler, you said, "I dont know, but probably not...."] Wait a minute! Luo Xi remembered the reward he just received after completing the free task. That description seemed a bit interesting... He hurriedly opened the Dreamland knapsack and flipped through the items inside. [Cradle and Nest] [Quality: Gold (Legend/Unique)] [Category: Special Item (Friendship gift from ???)] [Attributes: Divided into two parts, Cradle and Nest. When a person from the Dream World sleeps in the Cradle, they have a chance to dream of your world and a cocoon will form in the Nest. Only one cocoon can be produced at a time, and the person awakening from the cocoon will have twelve hours of free time in the real world. Once the time is up, they will instantly return. After each use, the Nest goes into cooldown for 48 hours/Sleepiness Value +100% (The best bed in the world~)] [You can currently take out the Nest to the world where you, the Traveler, are located] [Description: An item made from the branches and leaves of sixteen destroyed Eternal World Trees, it holds the power to protect visitors from the Dream World] [Note: Damn Traveler, guess who gifted you this?] Luo Xi: "..." The Damn Text was just short of writing out Praise me. However, this thing was actually made from the branches and leaves of sixteen already destroyed Eternal World Trees? Ridiculous. And why would someone give this to me? [Note: I conned this from a Big Silly (???), consider it as a reward for your success in kidnapping two beast-eared Lolitas, keep up the good work~] Oh, how thankful I am to you....lets take a good look first. Luo Xi took a deep breath and placed the Nest from the Dreamland knapsack onto the floor. A flash of white light on the ground revealed an object that looked like a birds nest magnified hundreds of times, with lots of branches and leaves constructing its main body, and its interior lined with leaves of various colors, which seemed very soft at first glance. Luo Xi suddenly felt the urge to lie down in it. And so he laid down in it. [Ding! Your Sleepiness Value +100] In an instant, an unbearable sleepiness surged up. Luo Xi struggled to get up and ran back to his bed from the Nest. Now was not the time to sleep. The effect of this thing was so immediate. If it could be used, maybe he could actually meet Weier and Aina in the real world? Wouldnt he actually be able to pet them then? When that time comes, he could personally pet their fluffy tails and ears, just the thought made his heart itch. [Ding! Your Happiness Level +20] [Note: Damn Traveler, you really have no life. They would be right here, and all you think of is petting their tails and ears when you could explore much deeper~!] There are police uncles here... Luo Xi looked towards the text. Lets take out the other one first. [Traveler, you took out the Cradle from the knapsack] [The Cradle is made of the same materials as the Nest, also woven from branches and leaves. However, calling it a cradle is a bit of a misnomer, as it is large enough to accommodate the body of an adult, more like a bed] [Before you could explain what it was, Liya asked puzzledly, "A cradle? What are you doing with this thing?"] [Traveler, you explained the function of the Cradle to Liya] ["So you just need to sleep in it? Then I can see Brother?"] Chapter 216 - 180: The Possibility of Wei’er and Aina Coming to Reality? (4200)_2 Chapter 216: Chapter 180: The Possibility of Weier and Aina Coming to Reality? (4200)_2[After hearing about it, Ainas eyes lit up, and she immediately tried to climb up.] [Liya frowned and pulled her daughter back, saying, "We dont know if its dangerous yet. Let mom check it out first. The level of this item seems quite high. Is it a Lost Yuan Qi? But I cant detect any flow of Yuan Su inside, which is strange."] [Liya turned to you and asked, "Where did you get this thing from?"] [Traveler, you thought for a moment, then indicated that it was a gift from some weird dog.] [Note: Garbage traveler, what are you talking about? ((*`) angry) (Ive already written it down in my little notebook!)] Luo Xi: "..."] "Speaking of which, damn text, what the hell are you? Are you that Great Will?"] [Note: Whos calling me a big silly?] Whats that? [Note: Humph! I wont tell~] If youre not saying, forget it then. Luo Xi had long known that the Damn text and that Great Will probably werent the same existence. This damn text was likely that Thing. Humph, he was determined to drag the guy hiding behind the texts out one day and teach him a good lesson. With that on his mind, Luo Xi continued reading the text. [Liya still wanted to study the cradle you brought out.] [However, Weier reminded her, "Mom, its getting late. You should go cook now; there are still many guests."] ["Thats true." Liya nodded and walked towards the bedroom door, then suddenly turned back and said, "You all come over here too! Dont even think about using this cradle sneakily! Never mind that, Ill put it away first."] [Liya snapped her fingers] [Swallowed by the radiance of the rune halo, the cradle disappeared, whereabouts unknown.] [Looking at the empty floor, Aina pouted in dissatisfaction, then was pulled away by Liya, with Weier following out of the bedroom.] [Now, you were the only one left in the bedroom.] Luo Xi: "...."] Why did he feel like Liya wanted to try it out herself before taking it away? Wait a second! If Liya managed to use it successfully... [Note: Is the garbage traveler going to spontaneously change jobs into Cao Zei?] Go to hell, damn text! Luo Xi felt an involuntary shiver of cold sweat on his back. If only he hadnt taken it out while Liya was still here. But the item probably wasnt guaranteed to work every time. After all, its description said there was only a chance. S~ea??h the N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. If its effect didnt activate, then it was just an ordinary bed. So, whats the chance of it triggering? Are you there, damn text? [Note: Theres a 30 percent chance of activation every time you go to sleep?] Fxxk! Damn text, why do you have to use a question mark? Forget it... If Liya does come over, its not a big issue anyway. Shes only interested in the world he was in. Twelve hours of action time wont yield any significant consequences. Moreover, if Liyas strength can also manifest in this world, then isnt that akin to snuggling up to... a strong supporter, a dependable leg? [Note: Isnt the traveler who considers his mother-in-law as a strong arm a bit too garbage? But her thigh, in the literal sense, really is quite nice to embrace~] You better be talking about supporting legs. [Traveler, you left the bedroom and then saw Chu Tian looking at you enviously, asking, "How does it feel being around both mother and daughter? Isnt it exciting?"] Luo Xi: "..."] Is this guy asking for trouble? [Traveler, you ignored Chu Tian. Sitting on the sofa, you closed your eyes, inhaling the various aromas wafting from the kitchen.] [Ding! Your Hunger Value +100] Gurgle Luo Xi only then remembered that it was late in the real world too. He took out his phone, looked at it, and then slapped his forehead.] October 3rd, 6 pm. "...Looks like I forgot to request the day off today?" There were dozens of unread messages from Ai Xue on WeChat. Luo Xi felt a bit guilty. Having only worked for two days, he had already taken so many days off. And they were paying him such a high salary. He composed a message to send over. [Sorry, Ive been really busy these past few days and my phone was off, so I couldnt reply to you. Ill come to work tomorrow.] Not ten seconds later, Ai Xue sent a new message. [No problem, weve hired some temporary workers, so were not short on staff. By the way, Senior, I have a question for you. When you were spacing out, were you playing a game called "Dawn"?] Luo Xi: "!"] How did Ai Xue know? Could it be that shed become a player of the game too? Didnt that person say the large-scale internal test would start in two weeks? There should still be a week left, right? After hesitating for a moment, Luo Xi sent an yes to Ai Xue. She didnt reply immediately this time. About three minutes later, Ai Xue responded. [Senior, I also started playing that game, and the talents I chose at the beginning really affected me. I feel that my body is a bit strange. Now I have stepped out of the store. Where do you live, Senior? Can I come to see you?] Luo Xi: "?"] Whats going on? Ai Xue couldnt have chosen some detrimental talent too, right? Impossible, normal people wouldnt actively choose negative talents. He had been stuck with a bunch of them all at once. After thinking for a while, Luo Xi composed and sent a message. [I havent had dinner yet. How about we talk over a meal?] [Thats fine.] The two of them agreed to meet at a grilled fish restaurant near the school. When Luo Xi arrived, he saw Ai Xue getting out of a taxi and waving at him. He suddenly noticed that Ai Xues demeanor seemed to have changed. Chapter 217 - 180: The Possibility of Wei’er and Aina Coming to Reality? (4200)_3 Chapter 217: Chapter 180: The Possibility of Weier and Aina Coming to Reality? (4200)_3If the previous Ai Xue was a youthful and lively sunlit girl, the current her was like the profound night, serene and quiet. Inside the store. Luo Xi ordered a set meal at the front desk, and then the two entered a private room. Before he could ask, Ai Xue eagerly said, "Senior, look." Ai Xue lifted her sleeve. On her arm, there were strange purple patterns. She took out a coin from her bag, held it between two fingers, pressed hard, and in an instant, the coin turned into a lump of metal. "Pretty normal." Luo Xi said, "Its just an increase in strength." Ai Xue shook her head: "Its different, mainly because my strength has been feeling stronger every moment since the sky grew dark. As a substitute, it feels like Ive lost something in my body...." "Every moment?" Luo Xi frowned, "Can you tell me what talent you chose?" "Hmm." Ai Xue typed on her phone for about a minute, then handed it to Luo Xi. Luo Xi took a look. [Strongman (Blue/Rare) - Your Strength attribute +20 points (the average adult strength is 5, you can punch to death a cow with this strength)] [Messenger of the Dark Night (Gold/Legend) - (When the sun sets, the closer it gets to midnight, the stronger your strength will be, with the maximum achievable all-qualities +500% bonus, conversely, your body will also be affected to some extent, as a cost for the enhanced attributes, and will return to normal at dawn)] A gold talent... was Ai Xue really that lucky? True to a gold talent, both his Immersion and Ai Xues Messenger of the Dark Night seemed outrageous, and from the data alone, Ai Xues talent seemed invincible. To know, even in his murderous state, he only had +100% to all qualities. Luo Xi said softly, "Your talent is very strong, probably with some negative consequence. Call me at midnight, Ill come to see whats happening, and absolutely do not tell anyone that you got a gold talent." If those player hunters knew Ai Xue had such a high-level talent, she would definitely not have peace in the future. Ai Xue whispered, "I know... Senior, can I stay at your place tonight?" [Note: Shes plotting something against you, you damn Traveler!] Luo Xi refused, "My place is a mess, and, a few days ago, someone even died..." He still didnt bring himself to say that someone had died there. Luo Xi also shared some basic knowledge of "Dawn" with Ai Xue. He learned that Ai Xues game character was now in a place called the City of Silence. Just not sure where in the Pan Continent it was. After listening to Luo Xis introduction, Ai Xue also felt slightly relieved. After finishing their meal, they each went their separate ways home, Luo Xi still needed to go back to research the nest. Around ten oclock. Luo Xi received a video call from Ai Xue. On the other end of the call was a girl who looked about Ai Xues age, somewhat juvenile, probably fourteen or fifteen years old. sea??h th N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Luo Xi was stunned. "Ai Xue, where are you? Is this your sister?" "Senior, Im Ai Xue!" The girl said in a panic, "I just took a quick nap, and when I woke up, I found my body had shrunk. Is this the cost of the gold talent?" [Note: Traveler, now the little rich lady can also be a little Lolita, are you feeling tempted now?] Luo Xi: "?" This damn Text couldnt be your doing as well, could it! Chapter 218 - 181: Let Mother Try This Guy’s Thing_1 Chapter 218: Chapter 181: Let Mother Try This Guys Thing_1[Note: No, its not like that at all, everything is destiny~] Like hell Id believe that! All the unreasonable things, as soon as theyre associated with that damn text, they start to make sense. Didnt it also force a whole page of talents on me in the beginning? Plus, with all the damn texts shenanigans during this period, even if it suddenly ran out in white stockings, Luo Xi wouldnt find it strange. "Senior, senior!" Ai Xue, seeing Luo Xi seem somewhat distracted, pursed her lips and said, "Senior, Im not going to die, am I? Ive never been in a relationship, and there are so many places I havent visited yet! Im only twenty-two!" Luo Xi couldnt help but laugh and said, "If that talent comes at such a cost, then you wont die. Everything will become clear at twelve oclock." "Oh..." Ai Xue said softly, "Senior, can I come over to your place now? Im a bit scared." Luo Xi: "..." Why is this junior always thinking about coming to his house? Isnt she afraid he might do something? [Note: Shes given you so many chances already, and you rejected every single one of them. Maybe she already thinks youre a hopeless gay or a loli-con~] Shut up, damn text! Whos gay here! ...And Im not a loli-con either! "It is indeed a bit messy here." Luo Xi looked around the cluttered first floor of the old house and suggested, "How about I come over to your place?" Ai Xues face turned slightly red: "Isnt it a long vacation? My parents are at home... You can come over if youd like, its just that in my current state, it would be bad if they found out. Can you come over next time when theyre not here?" Luo Xi: "?" Why would we sneak into your house when your parents are out? This feels a bit strange... And is this junior really scared? "Is it not okay, senior?" Ai Xue, seeing Luo Xi silent for a long time, lowered her head and said, "Well then, thats it... If I dont call you by twelve, it probably means something happened to me... Ill write my will in advance, and Ill tell Mu Mu not to fire you from the cat caf." Luo Xi rubbed his temples and said, "Its not that I dont want you to come over, but someone died upstairs the day before yesterday, for some reason. Are you sure you want to come? Im also planning to move to another place the day after tomorrow." Ai Xues face suddenly stiffened as she hesitated, "Then lets wait until next time, after youve moved." Although she really wanted to visit Seniors place, she was more afraid of dead people. After hanging up the phone, Ai Xue opened her room door and tiptoed towards the living room. She felt hungry. She needed to find something to eat. The living room was dark and quiet, with no movement, but she could see every tiny trace of objects in the darkness, probably an effect of her talent. This game could actually replicate talents and strength into reality; she wondered how strong Luo Xi had become after playing for so many days. Ai Xue passed by the mirror in the living room, stopped, and looked at her increasingly juvenile and immature body in the mirror. She rolled up her sleeve, the purple lines on her arm emitted a faint glow, like some kind of symbol. With every passing moment, she felt her strength increasing, while also losing something. The once vibrant girl in her twenties now looked like a young girl of only fourteen or fifteen, with her chest having shrunk by at least three-quarters. And it was only ten oclock now; what would she become by midnight? Ai Xue became somewhat pessimistic. If this goes on forever, shell have even less of a chance with Senior. Who would want a girlfriend who shrinks every night? Damn it, why did I choose that talent? And is the birthplace of my character also a bit strange? Ai Xue looked at her own text. [After ten oclock, all the sounds in the entire city suddenly disappeared, as if plunged into silence. There was no one to be seen on the streets, only you walking alone on this empty street] [Traveler, the citys inhabitants told you during the day that at night, you must not make any noise, or else it would attract strange pursuers] [You felt very afraid, but you didnt have enough money to stay in an inn] [When you kicked a stone at the corner of an alley, the sound of the stone hitting the wall made the surrounding air grow heavy] [An indistinct shadow lunged at you] [Traveler, you struggled with all your might, unaware of the extent of your current strength. But after struggling for a while, you still died] [Death summary] [Traveler, this city isnt as simple as it seems~ Merely escaping is useless, why not explore around a bit more?] [Ding! Your resurrection count has been exhausted, please try again tomorrow.] Ai Xue fell silent. Dead again. No more chances to resurrect. During the day, while looking for a way out, she died twice in her attempts. At night, the danger increased manifold, and even walking could be lethal. Was her senior also in a similar place right now? This game seems so tough. ... S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Luo Xi was waiting for midnight to arrive, also scrolling through the text. After the birthday banquet Liya hosted for Weier concluded, the mother-daughter duo left, returning to their original home on Grey Stone Street. Chu Tian followed Shopkeeper Lena into the city, while Hill had left early after dinner. Now that child truly has become the City Owner. No matter what, he must shoulder the responsibilities that come with it. He had casually asked Liya about the City of Silence. [Traveler, Liya tells you she had heard of the name of the City of Silence before. It seems to be a mysterious city located between the Da Yan Empire and the Shining Country, near the border. According to the root network, it should belong to the Da Yan Empire, but many people dread it and avoid it like the plague. They wouldnt consider fleeing there even in times of trouble.] ["Why?" you ask.] [Liya explains: "Because that city was once destroyed by unknown forces and then reappeared a month later, missing its inhabitants. And although its referred to as a city, its more like a small townin terms of population and area, its much smaller than Winter City. The Divine Tree Silence it possesses is less than a hundred meters tall."] ["As to why it is considered mysterious..." Liya looks at you intently, "its because after that event, all those who moved in disappeared. The Da Yan Empire sent people to investigate but found nothing."] Luo Xi: "..." Then what on earth were those residents Ai Xue saw today in the City of Silence? [Liya frowns and says: "What, you want to go there? Let me tell you, dont bring my daughters to such a messy place. However, the areas governed by the Da Yan Empire are not bad. Fourteen months a year are as warm as summer and autumn. If you want to travel, I suggest you head that way, and I can even give you a ride on my way."] [Aina chimes in from the side: "If its just for traveling, isnt our Shining Country good enough? There are other countries, too."] [Liya shakes her head: "You cant reach places too far from Winter City. The Shining Country is always cold, and the closer to the Eternal World Tree Noah, the colder it gets. The current weather is not conducive for traveling. The western side beyond the Confused Mountain Range is under the domain of those long-eared beings, and theyve severed ties with us humans a long time ago. To the east lies a vast ocean. At the moment, only the Da Yan Empire borders the Shining Country, so if you wish to visit other places, you have to pass through the Da Yan Empire first."] ["Wait! What are those long ears on the west?" you ask.] Luo Xi suddenly noticed a blind spot. Besides humans, were there other intelligent entities? He suddenly remembered the character relationship modules description of species. For example, this [Aina][Race: Human Clan]. Even if infected with the Mutant Factor, in the texts judgment, it is still of the Human Clan. If humanity was the only intelligent species in this world, there would be no need to add a Human Clan description. [Liya says: "Those long-eared ones, they are said to be a race created by the Great Will after us humans, called Elves. They have extremely long lifespans; even without relying on the power of Yuan Su, they can live more than three thousand years. The Eternal World TreeEmerald is under their care."] As expected! In the Dream World, besides creatures collectively known as Origin Beasts, this world wasnt just inhabited by the human race. [Traveler, you ask: "Do Elves also suffer from Mutation Syndrome?"] ["Yes," Liya says. "But not as many as humans. If the average humans resistance to Mutant Factor is 1, theirs is 100. Even if they are infected, unless the Mutant Factor originated from a high-Tier Origin Beast, they can suppress the factor with their bloodline."] ["Are there other non-human species?"] ["It seems that on the Pan Continent, we only have the Elf race. There indeed are others on different continents, and even in the oceansvampiric nocturnal creatures and Fishmen. However, it appears that the Fishmen have gone extinct. Among these races, humans are the ones most easily infected by the Mutant Factor. I came to Winter City wanting to peruse the True Canon, and that was to explore..." Liya suddenly stopped speaking.] [Traveler, youre lost in thought.] Luo Xi was lost in thought as well. Were the waters of the Dream World this deep? With so many races, yet he had only encountered the Human Clan. Was it because only humans inhabited the Shining Country? But why do these races seem somewhat akin to humans infected by Mutation Syndrome? [Note: Because humans are the most malleable entities in this world~ Thats why they are so easily stained with other colors.] At that moment, the text changed. [Liya looked up at the sky outside the window: "Its late now, time to go to sleep. Weier, Aina, you two go back to your room and rest. Mommy will deal with some things in Winter City tomorrow before we set off."] ["Mommy, what about that thing from Luo Xi?" Weier suddenly asked.] [Aina hugged Liyas arm: "Yes! Brother Luo Xis cradle, where is it? Mommy, bring it out quickly!"] ["You can forget about that."] [Liya replied without hesitation: "For your safety, let mommy try out the stuff this guy brought out first."] [Ding! Liyas Desire to Explore +50] Luo Xi: "..." Wait a minute! Im not ready Chapter 219 - 182: Is Lord Mother-in-law Coming to Reality? (x) It’s Aina!_1 Chapter 219: Chapter 182: Is Lord Mother-in-law Coming to Reality? (x) Its Aina!_1Luo Xi immediately felt his whole body tense up. In the state of dream synchronization, talking to Liya was very oppressive; if she really came to reality, Luo Xi could hardly imagine how he would face her. [Note: Hehehe! Isnt that the best opportunity to take down the Lord Mother-in-law? As long as you succeed, her two daughters will also belong to you, the Traveler, in the truest sense of the word~ Mr. Lu Xun never said: To abduct a beast eared Lolita, one must start by becoming a Cao Zei~] Mr. Lu Xun certainly never said such an indecent thing! [Note: However, garbage Traveler, the use of this thing is not so simple, you know. If the bewildered soul doesnt know where to go, it will only get lost in this vast world, and even if the effect is successfully activated, the egg will still be unable to hatch~] Luo Xi frowned. What does that mean? In the text, Liya had already started to try. [Liya took out the cradle in the living room, and under the watchful eyes of her daughters and you, she lay down in it.] [Liya looked at you, raised her hand, lightly tapped her forehead, and then fell asleep.] ... At this moment, in the Dream world. "Sister Weier, mom is going to beat us to it! Arent you worried?" Aina pulled Weier aside and whispered, "If mom meets the real Brother Luo Xi while were not around, and she does something, then in the future, Aina and sister will have to call Brother Luo Xi dad, and we wont be able to marry Brother Luo Xi!" Weier was stunned for a moment. Then, the delicate features of the young girl quickly turned a shade of crimson. She turned her head and huffed, "Who wants to marry that pervert!" Aina didnt hesitate and said, "Ive said it so many times, if sister doesnt want him, its fine, but Aina does! Aina will be an adult in three years, then sister can be Ainas maid of honor." Weier: "..." Such things, such things are impossible! (n)! Just thinking about that scene made Weier feel like she was suffocating. She said in a low voice, "Mom will definitely not fancy that pervert; you can rest assured, Aina." Weier didnt understand where her sisters thoughts were coming from. Ainas aggressiveness towards the person she liked was truly strong. Luckily, she was still young; if she were a bit older, maybe... maybe Weier wouldnt stand a chance at all? Weier glanced at Luo Xi, who was standing aside with a somewhat vacant look, knowing it was a sign that he was remotely controlling this body. In fact, she wasnt too worried about suddenly having a bizarre father. Using her tail to think, how could her mother possibly fancy someone like Luo Xi, that pervert? ...Probably? Then, Weier thought of her face, which resembled her mothers due to genetics, and their vastly different figures. If Luo Xi had lingered in Winter City for so long because of her, it meant the pervert probably liked her somewhat... right? So, what about her mother, who looked so much like her? Would Luo Xi also like her a lot? And mothers figure was much better than her own. In her memory, her mother had never looked for another man these past years; perhaps she suddenly had the idea... Under the combination of various factors, Weier suddenly became unsure. If one day Luo Xi suddenly told her, "From now on, you have to call me Dad..." Weier was sure that she would definitely break down on the spot. Weier subconsciously hugged Aina a little tighter in her arms and said, "Aina, lets give that pervert a little warning." "Mhmm!" Aina nodded. Weier walked over to Luo Xi, pulled his hand, and whispered, "Pervert! I know you can hear this, no matter what, do not make a move on mom, or Aina and I will hate you for life!" Sar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Aina also said in a low voice, "Yeah! Brother Luo Xi, even if you make a move on Aina, dont do it to mom!" "You cant make a move on Aina either!" Weier quickly added. .... Luo Xi looked at the text with a puzzled face. Did both of these Beast Eared Girls think he was some hentai like Chu Tian who was obsessed with married women? [Note: Little do you know, Chu Tian also thinks you, the garbage Traveler, are a hentai~ A mother and daughters, and both daughters are Lolitas, youre definitely more hentai than him!~] That must be that damn texts delusion about him! Luo Xi didnt bother with the Damn Text; he nervously looked at the nest under his bed. After Liya fell asleep, the nest didnt show any signs of change. Did it fail? Great! If Liya really did come over, he would be the one with the headache. Even just twelve hours would be enough to drive Luo Xi to desperation. He looked at the text. [Aina looked at you nervously: "Brother Luo Xi, can mom succeed?"] ["Dont know, lets wait and see." You, the Traveler, said.] [Weier wanted to get closer to the cradle to check on her mothers condition, but she was only able to take one step before being repelled by a white barrier of light emitted from the cradle. She was forced several steps back, while the Liya inside remained undisturbed.] ["Cat Cat, are you okay?"] [Weier steadied herself, shook her head, and said, "Im fine... but what is this?"] ["It doesnt seem to be a Rune Skill from your mother; it looks like some protective mechanism inherent to the cradle?"] [Traveler, you suddenly realize that this cradle might also have a strong defensive capability. Then why hasnt it shown in the attributes?] Chapter 220 - 182: Is Lord Mother-in-law Coming to Reality? (x) It’s Aina!_2 Chapter 220: Chapter 182: Is Lord Mother-in-law Coming to Reality? (x) Its Aina!_2[Note: This is just an incidental function, designed to prevent disturbances for those sleeping inside. Of course, if someone very powerful wants to interrupt the sleepers rest within the cradle, then theres nothing that can be done~] [A few minutes later, Liya opened her eyes.] [She yawned sleepily, sitting up in the cradle, her beautiful black hair flowing down like tassels at her side, outlining a graceful figure, captivatingly beautiful to behold.] [Ding! Your Happiness Level +10] [Note: You hentai garbage Traveler, you still felt happy~ Have you finally come to appreciate the allure of a mature beauty?] Fxxk! Thats just a normal mans reaction to appreciating a beautiful woman, isnt it?! [Traveler, you feel a twist at your waist and turn your head to see Cat Cat is the one twisting you.] [The girl squints her red eyes, silently mouthing at you: "Pervert, dont you dare make a move."] Luo Xi: "...." Cat Cat, you think too highly of me. [Liya glanced over at you two.] ["Did I fail?"] [It seemed that she had already anticipated this.] [Liya placed her hand on her head, where runes were hopping in her palm: "Then Ill try once more."] [Ten seconds later, Liya was lying in the cradle again.] Luo Xi: "!" This cradle, as described in the Nest, only triggers effect assessments when one falls asleep. So, if the same person wakes up and goes back to sleep, can the effect be triggered again? [Note: Of course, it can~] Fxxk! So you can do that too?! Isnt that just exploiting a bug?! [Traveler, you and Cat Cat are silently watching Liya, who is lying asleep in the cradle, not speaking a word, waiting for her to wake up.] [You are also waiting to see whether the event will happen or not.] ... Liya had a strange dream. She dreamed of a vast expanse of beautiful skyscrapers she had never seen before; late at night, the glowing windows twinkled with multicolored lights, completely different from any car she had seen, with fancy vehicles driving on smooth roads, and many people bustling about on the streets, not knowing where they were going. She was like the one ignored by the world, walking among the crowd, strolling through the streets filled with neon lights and bars. Thump! Someone bumped into Liyas shoulder. "Whos there? Dont you look where youre going?" The person turned back to look, seeming not to have seen Liya, then walked away in displeasure. Where have I come to? The bewildered soul stood still, barely remembering her purpose for being here. Like, where should I go? Why am I here? And then... the dream ended. ... [Traveler, you see Liya opening her eyes as she wakes up again, but this time it was different from the previous time; there was confusion in her eyes, along with profound fatigue.] ["Mommy!" Weier and Aina were very concerned, immediately wanting to rush over.] ["Dont panic."] [Liya, rubbing her head with a hint of a headache, stepped down from the cradle and said, "I think I dreamed about something, but in the end, I didnt succeed. There must be some condition missing. The feeling of being lost is really uncomfortable."] [Weier asked, "Mom, what did you dream about?"] [Liya shook her head: "I cant remember now. It was just a dream, anyway."] Luo Xi also went from relief at Liyas repeated failure to a sense of heaviness. Is this cradle and Nest really usable? It wont cause any big problems, right? [Note: Of course, its usable~ But for a soul that comes from the Dream World, if they cant accurately find the way to the Nest in this world, then for her, its nothing more than just a dream~ Perhaps, dear Traveler, your mother-in-law just doesnt have a strong desire to return to the nest~ Maybe you should increase the Favorability some more?] Increase what the hell, if the attempt to steal a chicken fails, and I lose the rice, thats the end of it. [Traveler, you say, "Well, lets just leave it at that for now. Ill study this thing more... Aina, what are you doing!"] [The Little Wolf Girl had already approached the cradle from behind.] [While Liya and the rest of you were distracted talking, she grasped the edge of the cradle, leaped up in one motion, and jumped straight in.] [Liya immediately tried to lift Aina out, but the white light from the cradle repelled her as well.] ["Hehe, its Ainas turn now! Brother Luo Xi, wait for me~"] [The Little Lolita with wolf ears gave you a slight smile before lying down in the cradle.] [Weier shouted, "Aina, get out of there!"] ["No way...~zzZ~"] [Aina quickly dozed off with her head tilted.] Luo Xi was surprised to find a tiny light spot appearing underneath the bed in the Nest, something that hadnt happened while Liya was using the cradle. He sat on the bed, waiting for a long time. The light spot in the Nest began to grow larger, eventually forming the shape of a white egg enlarged many times, seemingly just big enough to fit a person. However, by nearly twelve oclock, the egg showed no signs of hatching. ... Sar?h the ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. In October, even late at night around eleven or twelve, it was still hot in Haicheng, so even though it was late, there were still quite a few people sitting outside old streets, enjoying the evening breeze, chatting, playing cards, and playing chess. Especially the elderly who couldnt sleep. Under a ginkgo tree at the entrance to an old street, an old man and his grandson in his twenties, who was on holiday, were playing chess. Suddenly, the old man felt a breeze and turned his head to find a young girl beside him. The girl was glowing with a phosphorescent light, had animal-like ears on her head, possibly dog or fox, and behind her, a large bushy tail, and her amber eyes curiously watched the chessboard. Is this child playing cosplay? The old man wondered to himself. These kids are really pushing the boundaries of play. Moving his reading glasses, the old man kindly asked, "Little sister, do you know how to play chess?" The young man opposite him was stunned. "Sorry, Aina doesnt understand you." The girl shook her head, uttering words the old man didnt understand. A foreigner? The old man thought. Then, a light breeze blew by. The cute girl twitched her little nose. "Hehe, Aina has found the familiar scent of big brother, so you are still inside~" She no longer paid attention to the chessboard, instead walking step by step deep into the alley. The old man scratched his thinning hair in confusion. "Grandpa, who were you just talking to?" The young man asked, baffled. The old mans dimming pupils shrank as he said, "What, you didnt see the cute little cosplaying girl with fox ears that your generation would play?" The young man bewildered, "What little girl with fox ears?" The old man: "!" Could it be Ive encountered a Fox spirit? Chapter 221 - 183 Aina: Does Brother Luo Xi also have cute girls in reality? (Firewood Knife)_1 Chapter 221: Chapter 183 Aina: Does Brother Luo Xi also have cute girls in reality? (Firewood Knife)_1[Traveler, you gaze at Aina, asleep in the cradle, the wolf-eared Lolitas cute little face drowsily smacking her lips, a shiny trail of drool leaking from the corner of her mouth, clearly basking in the bliss of her sleep, as if shes dreaming about something fun.] [Since Aina had fallen asleep, over an hour had already passed.] [Traveler, youre starting to wonder if shes successfully triggered the effects of the cradle and nest.] [Weier tugs on your hand and says, "If anything happens to Aina, Ill turn pervert you into..."] [Cat Cat doesnt know how to threat fiercely and simply shuts up and ignores you.] [Liya, however, seems not to be overly concerned; she thoughtfully observes the cradle and her daughter within, occasionally stepping closer to deliberately touch the cradles protective mechanism.] [Then she looks at you and asks, "Has anything changed on your end?"] [Traveler, you nod and reply, "Yes, but the changes have already stopped."] sea??h th N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Luo Xi glanced under the bed. The egg in the nest was emitting a faint glow, but it was still completely still. It was now eleven-thirty. Time seemed to be flying. Luo Xi, continually checking his phone here, was becoming a bit anxious; not to mention the other two in the Dream World, Cat Cat had already bombarded him with questions several times. Liya appeared calm, but who knew if she was thinking about flaying him alive. [Note: Relax, garbage Traveler~ Even if the triggering isnt successful, nothing bad will happen~ Or are you, garbage Traveler, so eager to get your hands on the lone wolf-eared little Lolita? Should we call the police in advance?~] Who would do such absurd things! Luo Xi sighed lightly. There were so many issues. He had no idea what the situation with Aina was, and he didnt know the current status of his junior either. But they had agreed to meet at twelve oclock, so all Luo Xi had to do was wait; he wasnt too worried about Ai Xue, as a powerful golden Talent would inevitably bring some negative effects along with great enhancements. Even his Immersion, when using the modes of Anger and Killing Intent, would induce quite a negative impact. If it was just a matter of becoming physically smaller, then it shouldnt be a big issue. [Note: Garbage Traveler, wouldnt becoming a cute little Lolita be a positive effect for you? Besides, the little rich girl is even older than Cat Cat, so even if she becomes smaller, shes still legally of age~] This isnt about legality at all, dammit! (p)=, now confess, was it you who stuffed that Talent into her?! And you, damn text, better morph into a Lolita and crawl out here! Luo Xi took a deep breath. Instinctively, he reached for the hat on his head, only to remember that in the Dream World, he had the Furnace Core instead of a normal hat. At this moment, he really was feeling rather anxious. Luo Xi opened the Reward section of the text. [Random Talent Draw x1 (White to Gold)] [Random Talent Draw x1 (White to Purple)] [Talent Effect Upgrade x1 (can upgrade up to a gold Talent)] [Talent Deletion x1] These were his non-material rewards from settling the various quests in Winter City. There were still some quests he hadnt completed. Like the Necromancy Purification quest related to that High Judge. The old coot was really speedy at escaping; Hill had said he took off overnight as soon as things started looking bad. No telling if thered be another chance to encounter him. Luo Xi clicked on the lottery slot that could draw up to a purple Talent. [Random Talent Draw x1 (White to Purple)] [Friendly Reminder: Current Talent pool odds, White Talent at 60%, Green Talent at 30%, Blue Talent at 8%, Purple Talent at 2%] [Would you like to use it?] [Yes] [Ding! Drawing in progress (White to Purple), please wait...] [Ding! Youve drawn the Talent: Walker (White/Common) - Your agility +5 (Youre much faster than the average person.)] Luo Xi: "..." Thats not even as good as the Sage Talent he drew last time. At least that one was green. He selected another Talent draw opportunity. [Random Talent Draw x1 (White to Gold)] [Friendly Reminder: Current Talent pool odds, White Talent at 38%, Green Talent at 30%, Blue Talent at 20%, Purple Talent at 10%, Gold Talent at 2%] Different grades of lottery slots indeed had different odds in the Talent pool. [Would you like to use it?] [Yes] [Ding! Drawing in progress (White to Gold), please wait...] [Ding! Youve drawn the Talent: Sword Heart (Purple/Epic) - Your comprehension of sword skills far exceeds that of the average person, and when using sword Category weapons in combat, all damage dealt is increased by 30% (This is a true swordsman!)] Yay! Finally, he had acquired a high-level Talent with a normal enhancement type. No wonder these were chances for Talent draws brought by the Snow Disaster Mislat. Since Luo Xis Talent slots were full, the two Talents he drew transformed into a white tetrahedral crystal and a purple dodecahedral crystal. He put away the white crystal. The last time he removed the Beggar, and as free replacements were only once a month, he would now have to use his Talent Deletion opportunity if he wanted a replacement. Luo Xi looked at the Life of Misfortune in his Talent slot. Since Variant Talents were fundamental and couldnt be deleted, he would definitely have to get rid of this Talent first. Chapter 222 - 183 Aina: Does Brother Luo Xi also have a cute girl in reality? (Firewood knife)_2 Chapter 222: Chapter 183 Aina: Does Brother Luo Xi also have a cute girl in reality? (Firewood knife)_2Lets set aside the repulsion of like colors for now. [Do you want to delete the Talent: Many Misfortunes?] [Yes] A purple light flashed and disappeared in Luo Xis eyes. [Talent deletion successful] He tossed the purple dodecahedron he held in his hand. [Do you want to place the Talent: Sword Heart into an empty talent slot?] [Yes] After a throbbing pain in his head, Luo Xi felt as if something extra had emerged within him. However, he didnt have a sword in his hand, only a saber, so he couldnt test the effects of this talent just yet. Then there were the remaining Reward effects to upgrade. The highest it could go was to upgrade to a golden talent. He couldnt upgrade his Variant talent any further, afraid he might truly turn into a monster. So, Immersion it was. [Do you want to apply the talent upgrade effect to the Talent: Immersion?] [Yes] [Ding! Talent effect is upgrading...] [Upgrade successful] [Traveler, your Talent: Immersion (Gold/Legend) has been enhanced] [Immersion+1 (Gold/Legend): The Talent can be used twice, with each usage not exceeding 20 minutes, and the cooldown times for the two uses are calculated independently, being 24 hours. The maximum emotion value that can be consumed at once is raised to 2000 points] Luo Xi: "!" The upgrade of Immersions effect could be said to have doubled. This meant that as long as he had enough Happiness Level, he could solely rely on the Happy Mode to get a 200% attribute boost. As for Happiness Level, as long as Cat Cat and Aina petted him for a while, it would skyrocket. Sarch* The N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Luo Xi was still immersed in the significant boost of his talent. At that moment, thump thump! He heard knocking at the front door downstairs. Luo Xi immediately became alert. Who could it be at this hour? Ai Xue? She didnt know his address yet. Player hunters? That seemed unlikely. Just a few days ago, he had casually killed one in a three-against-one fight. Surely those people werent rushing over to get killed? Speaking of which, he had been in a state of Dreamland synchrony these past few days. If those people took advantage of him sleeping and tried to ambush him... A cold sweat broke out on Luo Xis back. He suddenly realized that maybe the time limit on Dreamland synchrony wasnt such a bad thing. After all, the real world was not as harmonious as he had imagined. Luo Xi got out of bed, put on his shoes, and then took the Bewitching Dream Wand out of his bag. The hypnotic skill inherent to this staff was more convenient for dealing with the aftermath than chopping someone down with a saber. Luo Xi walked by the nest, passed through the door connecting the first floor to the kitchen. He failed to notice that behind him, within the nest, a white egg glowed brighter and brighter. Squeak! Luo Xi undid the latch and pulled the door open wide. Whoosh Under the light of a crescent moon, a gust of night wind blew in, entering the old house and lifting Luo Xis bangs and his loose T-shirt. Luo Xis pupils suddenly contracted. A cute, petite wolf-eared girl stood in front of his door. "Aina..." "Mmm, its Aina." Aina clasped her hands in front of her chest, her wolf ears perked up, her tea gold eyes filled with longing as she looked at him; her long eyelashes quivered slightly, and her brown-black hair merged with the tail behind her. She smiled and said, "Brother Luo Xi, Aina finally found you, yep. Aina followed your scent here, it took really, really long~ This world of yours, its so different from ours." Luo Xi looked back inside the house. If Aina was here, then what was that egg inside? Luo Xi turned back only to find that the wolf-eared Lolita in the moonlight had disappeared. At the same time, the text popped up with a prompt. [Ding! The bewildered soul has found its nest, the nest effect is initiating... Please wait] Crack! It seemed that something had shattered. Luo Xis heart leaped. He immediately closed the door and ran back inside. In the nest, the white egg glowed faintly as cracks appeared across the shell. Pop! A piece of the eggshell suddenly broke. Then, pop pop pop The eggshell began to shatter in a chain reaction, turning into specks of white light that vanished within the nest. Finally, Luo Xi saw a familiar figure, naked and curled up inside the nest. But why was she not wearing clothes?! Aina was lying there with her eyes closed, resting on the soft layer of leaves in the nest. Several leaves stuck to her fair back, perfectly covering the important parts on the girls body with her arms and big tail, but the somewhat visible yet hidden effect made one want to reach out and pet her even more. [Ding! Your Happiness Level +88] [Note: Garbage Traveler, you said you didnt want to fall for this wolf-eared Lolita! Whats up with this happiness? You super big hentai!] Shut up, damn text! Isnt the mere fact that Beast Eared Girl can come into reality enough to make anyone happy?! Luo Xi turned to the text. It seemed that the opposite world had also undergone some changes. [Weier says nervously to you, "Whats wrong with Aina?"] [Traveler, you see the Little Wolf Girl in the cradle emitting a soft white light, very similar to the girl in your world] [Traveler, you say, "Your sister has probably come over, but shes not wearing any clothes. Im going to find her something to wear first."] Chapter 223 - 183 Aina: Does Brother Luo Xi also have cute girls in reality? (Firewood Knife)_3 Chapter 223: Chapter 183 Aina: Does Brother Luo Xi also have cute girls in reality? (Firewood Knife)_3[Weier was taken aback, "What do you mean, no clothes?"] [Ding! Weiers Anger Value towards you +50] [Ding! Liyas Anger Value towards you +50] Luo Xi suddenly realized that if Liya had successfully come to this world, he might also see her... hiss, he mustnt think any further. [Note: Garbage Traveler, are you feeling regretful that you didnt see anything?] Of course not! If he actually saw anything, that would surely be a death sentence, right? Moreover, Luo Xi had originally thought that the people from the Dream World would come directly, but he didnt expect it would be a method similar to his gaming experience, where a body was generated directly in this world. Cant the two worlds just interact directly? [Note: This is actually a method similar to how you, Traveler, synchronize with a body in the Dream World~ However, in this world, accomplishing such a thing is extremely difficult, so we can only resort to this roundabout way, and it lasts only twelve hours. After twelve hours, her presence here will disappear, Traveler, so seize the opportunity to go jailbait~] Luo Xi: "....." "Wu" Inside the nest, Ainas body moved slightly, her delicate eyelashes fluttered, and her eyes opened. The Wolf Eared Lolitas ears on her head twitched, trying to lift her head to look at the person behind her. "Brother Luo Xi... is that you? Has Aina successfully come over?" "Aina, wait a minute, Ill go upstairs and find you some clothes!" Luo Xi dared not look any longer at the little Wolf Eared Lolitas naked form. Normally, the Little Wolf Girl would be dressed neatly, and it was one thing for him to pet her tail and ears, but under the current circumstances, continuing to look would confer an immense sense of guilt. He had this ominous feeling that the police might suddenly appear and slap a pair of silver handcuffs on him. [Note: Since neither Cat Cat nor the mother-in-law are around, Garbage Traveler, what are you afraid of! Just start petting already!] But he couldnt just start petting like this! "She really came over... I almost thought that everything before was actually a dream." After Luo Xi left the first floor and went upstairs, Aina sat up from inside the nest and looked down at her body. In an instant, the Little Wolf Girls face flushed red, and her body heated up. Hugging her chest, she murmured: "Wu, Brother Luo Xi saw me naked... Hey? But now, doesnt that mean Brother Luo Xi can only marry Aina from now on? ...Sounds not bad?" [Ding! Ainas Favorability towards you +3] Luo Xi, who was rummaging through the wardrobe upstairs, saw this notification and was baffled. Why did her Favorability increase out of the blue? Aina looked up and around the room. This place... looks pretty dilapidated. S~ea??h the N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Is the Brother Luo Xi of this world also very poor? However, the Little Wolf Girl immediately noticed that the bed next to the nest she was sitting on was indeed their own, and based on the scent on the bed, it was clear that Brother Luo Xi had been sleeping there for several days. Humph humph. Brother Luo Xi, youve carelessly let Aina catch a hold of Weier had no idea and let Brother Luo Xi put away so many personal belongings. Who knew that in another world he could still get his hands on them, and now hes even slept on the bed theyve had for many years. Aina tiptoed up from the soft layer of leaves, lightly jumping onto the bed. Then, the Wolf Eared Lolita tucked herself into the blankets. She pulled them up, completely covering her body. The scent of Sister Weier, the scent of Brother, and her own scent. It was as if the three of them were sleeping together on this bed~ Even though they werent. After a while, Luo Xi came back down with a white lace dress and underwear in hand. "Aina, put on your clothes... huh, why did you go into the bed?" Aina peeked out her head, her cheeks reddened and she said, "Does Brother Luo Xi think he hasnt seen enough and wants to look more? Although thats also okay, but Aina still feels a bit shy, can you give me a moment to mentally prepare?" Luo Xi: "...." Damn it, what does this Wolf Eared Lolita take him for! Even just now, he hadnt seen anything he shouldnt have. Luo Xi tossed the clothes onto the bed and turned to walk out, "Aina, put them on first, Ill wait on the other side, call me when youre done." "Mmm...." Aina looked at her old clothes on the blanket. These clothes were quite old; the new ones were all in those two big sacks, probably still at Sister Lainas inn by now. However, the scent of Brother on the clothes wasnt that strong, indicating that Brother Luo Xi hadnt moved them much. Sister Weier always called Brother a pervert, but see, he wasnt so bad after all. After waiting a minute, Aina softly called out, "Brother Luo Xi, Aina is dressed." Luo Xi returned, his eyes lighting up slightly. The Wolf Eared Lolita who had come to the real world seemed even more adorable than in the Dream World. Her dark brown hair cascaded behind her over the white dress, her fair skin softly blushed as though it were an eggshell just cracked open, tea gold eyes glittered like stars, cherry-like lips, a delicate nose, and a cute face composed almost perfect features. The upright wolf ears with white fluff on the inside, along with the fluffy big tail at her back, made Aina look like a character out of a fantasy world. Chapter 224 - 183 Aina: Does Brother Luo Xi also have cute girls in reality? (Firewood Knife)_4 Chapter 224: Chapter 183 Aina: Does Brother Luo Xi also have cute girls in reality? (Firewood Knife)_4[Note: Hey there, garbage Traveler, seeing such a cute Wolf Lady, have you felt some desires stirring up?] Well, there is some desire, but not that kind of desire. Its the desire to pet. Luo Xi glanced at the text. [Traveler, Weier (ߣ) said to you, "Pervert, no matter how Aina is by your side, dont lay a hand on her! Shes still young!"] [Liya didnt say anything but looked at you with a kind gaze] [Then a voice directly resonated in your ear] ["Dont go too far, kid."] [Traveler, you naturally know what Liya means] [But no need for reminders] [Cat Cat calling you a pervert was just a slip of the tongue, but you arent really a pervert, are you?] [Liya asked, "How long will Aina be staying with you?"] [Traveler, you said, "12 hours."] ["Then well have to wait until noon tomorrow."] [Liya turned to Weier and said, "So, Weier, how about you sleep with mommy tonight?"] ["Mhm!" Weier nodded vigorously, looking at you she said, "What about our homes bed?"] Luo Xi: "..." Things were getting tricky. He had been sleeping on that bed for several days now, with his sweat seeping into the blankets and mattress. If he returned them like this, theyd definitely be discovered. And it was uncertain whether he could return them at all. Dreamland luggage doesnt allow the storage of items from the real world, and to some extent, these blankets and pillows werent strictly Dream world items anymore. Seeing Luo Xis expression become blank, Aina asked, "Whats the matter, Brother Luo Xi?" Luo Xi looked up at Aina, a flash of inspiration striking him. [Traveler, you said, "Aina is on that bed right now."] [Weier: "?"] [Ding! Weiers Anger Value towards you +50] [The Cat-eared girl, furious, went to grab you: "You pervert! Loli-con! Its only been such a short time, how did you manage to trick Aina into bed?!"] [Note: For a garbage Traveler, its not that easy, after all, Little Wolf Girl doesnt resist him~] Aina got up there by herself, I didnt even do anything yet, okay! Wait, thats not the point! [Traveler, you explained that Aina is now on the bed, and youre just sitting by the side, not doing anything] [Liya glanced at you, "Let it be then. Mommy will just produce some bedding on the spot, we cant monitor this guy anyway, hes in another world. Well see how it turns out tomorrow."] [Liya took Weier into the bedroom, leaving you, the Traveler, with Aina lying in the cradle in the living room] [Traveler, you sat down on the sofa and closed your eyes] Luo Xi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Suddenly, a sweet scent carried by the wind rushed over, and Luo Xi instinctively opened his arms to catch it. "Aina, whats going on?" "Hmph, this is the real Brother Luo Xi, not the one who usually has a vacant look in his eyes. You smell exactly the same, and even better~" Aina nuzzled into Luo Xis embrace, her little face radiating happiness. Luo Xi reluctantly tried to put the Wolf Eared Lolita down on the ground. Then he remembered that he didnt have any shoes for Aina in the house, not even slippers. There was only one pair, the one he was currently wearing, and the slippers were too big for Ainas tiny feet anyway. He put Aina back on the bed, intending to go upstairs to find some shoes. Sear?h the n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Ding ding ding At that moment, Luo Xis phone on the bedside rang. Aina leaned over to look, "Brother Luo Xi, whats this?" The Little Wolf Girl curiously poked the screen. Luo Xi turned around: "Wait!... Dont touch!" Doot A WeChat call was connected. "Senior, we have a big problem!.... Senior? Hey, did I call the wrong number? No, wait, this is indeed Seniors number." The young girl on the video looked baffled as she stared at the cute Wolf Eared Lolita with tea gold eyes on the other side. "Senior, are you there? Can you speak?" Luo Xi: "...." Aina tilted her head to look at Luo Xi, her bright eyes seeming to lose their luster. "Brother Luo Xi, who is this person? So, in this world, Brother also has a girl? And such a young girl as well. Just like Sister said, Brother Luo Xi is really a pervert." [Ding! Ainas Yandere value towards you +10] Luo Xi: "(((;???;)))!" [Note: Is this the legendary Xiu Luo Field? The garbage Travelers journey home is indeed paved with pitchforks~] Not like this, please! Chapter 225 - 184: Aina doesn’t mind what her brother does~_1 Chapter 225: Chapter 184: Aina doesnt mind what her brother does~_1Luo Xis forehead was beaded with sweat. Without a change in expression, he wiped it off and said calmly, "Well, Aina, this girl is just my junior. Dont overthink it." If he really turned this Wolf Eared Lolita into a yandere, how was he going to live in the future? Unless he decided to take the bucket and run away again. But he had already accepted Liyas commission. He no longer had the audacity to say things like Women are a nuisance, I want to be the best in the world. In fact, deep down, he really wanted to take both Beast Eared Girls with him, whether in the Dream world or in reality. Who wouldnt want to wake up every day to pet a cute Cat Cat? However, Ainas possessiveness seemed a bit too strong... In the Dream world, it was the same; besides Cat Cat, Aina also seemed very unhappy when he petted Little Bunny Winnie. [Note: Garbage Traveler, how can you be frightened by this Cute Wolf! Its time to use these twelve hours to train the Little Wolf Girl and show her whos the master between you two!] Stop fanning the flames, damn text! Aina, lying on the bed, tilted her head, and her dim tea-golden eyes looked at Luo Xi, her dark brown hair strewn across her white dress. The Wolf Eared Lolitas delicate nose twitched slightly. Sniff~ Sniff~ The scent on Brother Luo Xi hasnt changed much, huh. Thus, Little Wolf Girls tea-golden eyes gradually regained their sparkle. Luo Xi, feeling the oppressive aura from Aina lessening, also gradually sighed in relief. At that moment, Ai Xue, who was on the other end of the video, couldnt hold back any longer. Looking at the golden-eyed Wolf Eared Lolita in the frame, she asked: "Senior! Just who is this girl with animal ears? Why is she at your place so late in the evening? Senior, you didnt kidnap a Little Lolita to play cosplay with, or do something illegal, did you?" Luo Xi replied subconsciously, "I didnt do it! And its not kidnapping, its traveling!" Ai Xue: "???" [Ding! Ai Xues acaonfusion Value +66] Luo Xi: "Forget what I just said." Ranting at the damn text too many times made him blurt it out subconsciously. Aina shook the phone towards Luo Xi, "Brother Luo Xi, what are you talking about with her? Can you say it in a way that Aina can understand?" Ai Xue also asked, "Senior, what language is she speaking? Is she a foreigner?" Today Ai Xue just downloaded "Dawn" and had been shopping in the City of Silence, dying repeatedly, and had not triggered the language task like "Acquiring Knowledge", so the real her couldnt understand Ainas words. Luo Xi: "..." Im starting to feel damn acaonfused. "Aina, give me the phone, the thing in your hand." Little Wolf Girl paused for a moment, then handed him the device. Although she didnt want Brother Luo Xi to go looking for other girls besides her sister and mom, she also knew that being petulant would only lower her favorability in his eyes. Aina glanced at the prompt that appeared before her. [11:45:25] Is this the remaining time she had in this world? Whether it was her or Weier, they were not from the same world as Brother Luo Xi. Aina felt a light melancholy and lowered her head. No matter what Brother Luo Xi wanted to do here, she really didnt have a say. What if Brother Luo Xi never operated that body in the other world again and took back the cradle? Would they never see Brother Luo Xi again? Little Wolf Girl looked up at Luo Xi, clenching her small fists. Should she take the chance when her sister and mom were not around to simply take Brother Luo Xi for herself... No, no. It seemed she thought of something weird, and the Wolf Eared Lolitas pretty face instantly blushed red. She shouldnt do that kind of thing now (n). Unless, unless Brother Luo Xi took the initiative to ask for it! [Ding! Ainas Shyness Value +99] Luo Xi: "?" He looked at Little Wolf Girl in confusion, wondering why she had suddenly turned bright red again. This inexplicable... Aina wasnt really becoming a yandere, was she? "Senior?" Ai Xue, seeing Luo Xi not speaking, called out softly. "Yeah, Im here, um, you right now..." Luo Xi looked at Ai Xues current appearance and then paused. The junior on the screen, clearly a vibrant university junior, now looked almost as young as Aina. "Um... Im Ai Xue." Ai Xue patted her empty clothes, looking mournful, "Senior, I wont stay like this forever, will I?" Luo Xi shook his head, "That shouldnt happen. Doesnt your talent description say youll change back at dawn?" "Thats good, and one more thing, Senior. Ive found that the later it gets, the faster the food I eat gets digested..." Ai Xue held her stomach, frowning, "I just finished a whole box of 24 Dove chocolates, two big bags of chips, and a 2l bottle of Coke, and twenty minutes later Im hungry again. I really want to eat something and want to... release this strength inside me." "..." Luo Xi checked the time. Eleven fifty-nine. He turned to look at Aina and, hesitating for a moment, said, "Then why dont we go out for some late-night food? I can introduce you to this kid as well." Ai Xue had known him for quite a while. As fellow gamers, and compared to that Cao Zei, Chu Tian, Luo Xi trusted this little rich girl more. [Note: Correction, its now the rich Little Lolita! (Nighttime limited)] Shut up, damn text, looking at you just irritates me, come out here and let me punch you! "The girl with the animal ears?" Ai Xue immediately nodded, "Sure, Im so hungry, I really do want to go out for late-night food, but dressed like this... All my clothes are too big for me now, no matter what I wear it looks sloppy..." At that moment, a notification popped up on the phone. Ten seconds to midnight. Ten, nine, eight, ... 0:00. At the stroke of midnight on October 4th, Luo Xi saw a deep purple light burst forth from Ai Xue for an instant, the purple inscription on her arm glowed, and her eyes released a profound purple light as well. Her figure shrank, becoming even smaller than before, about a year younger than Aina. One should know that although Aina was only thirteen years old in the Dream World, there are fourteen months in a year in that world, meaning Aina was actually around fourteen, perhaps her development was just poor due to malnutrition over the past three years. [Note: Damn traveler, having already abducted two Beast Eared Lolitas, facing such a petite, adorable, yet legal little rich Lolita, dont you feel any desire?] Absolutely not! He had, from the beginning, only wanted to pet the tails and ears of two beast-eared girls; even if Ai Xue became more childlike, she was still purely human, with no place for him to pet. [Ding! Your morality +10] Luo Xi: "?" Why do I feel this morality point is sarcastic? "Where shall we meet, senior?" asked Ai Xue. "At this hour, the night market is bustling," Luo Xi thought for a moment and said, "How about we go to the night market..." Then he suddenly remembered that Aina was still without shoes. Although it wasnt impossible to have Cat Cat and the others send over a pair of shoes through the text, Cat Cat and Liya were probably asleep by now. Luo Xi suggested, "How about we go to a nighttime shopping center first? I need to buy this kid some clothes and shoes." If everything went as expected, this wouldnt be Ainas last visit to the real world, and Cat Cat would come over sooner or later. In that case, he needed to prepare some clothes in advance; it wouldnt do to always have them wear old clothes upon arriving. Ai Xue nodded and said, "Sure, I need to buy some clothes too, if Im going to shrink every night from now on, I should have a set that fits just right." "Then lets meet later at your cat cafe, I remember theres a night market and a food street nearby." "Mhm." Luo Xi hung up the phone. Then he turned to look at the Wolf Eared Lolita behind him, who was silent and seemed a bit melancholic. What was the Little Wolf Girl thinking? Was she jealous just because he had been on the phone with Ai Xue for a few minutes? He had no idea how he had managed to win over the Wolf Eared Lolita. After all, Cat Cats feelings toward him havent undergone a transformation to this day. Luo Xi said, "Aina, let me take you to buy shoes and clothes, then we can have a meal" All of a sudden, a sweet floral scent rushed over. Luo Xi instinctively opened his arms and once again caught Aina as she lunged toward him. The Little Wolf Girl clasped Luo Xis shoulders with her hands, her soft body tightly pressed against Luo Xis through her white dress, her chin resting on his chest, tea-golden eyes moist with tears, she spoke with a sobbing voice: "Brother Luo Xi, you wont leave in the future, right? Aina doesnt want to never see you again, would it be okay if Aina doesnt mind your business in this world anymore?" More than the thought of Brother Luo Xi becoming closer with other girls, Aina was more afraid of losing her brother altogether. Luo Xi was taken aback, then smiled. Was the Little Wolf Girl afraid that he would run off? He reached his hand behind Aina. Gently holding that fluffy, soft big tail. Soft, warm, and velvety (*`)... cough. It was the familiar feeling, but this time, it was he himself in this world, who was experiencing it firsthand. "Dont worry, how could I possibly leave?" he said. Aside from the Dream World, this world held no other Beast Eared Girls for him to pet, and just the secrets held within that world were enough to ensure he would not give up. Feeling her tail being caressed by his warm hand, Aina blushed slightly and the water-like color deepened in her eyes. Could it be that Brother Luo Xi really wanted to do something with her here... But then again, Aina wouldnt mind whatever brother did~ After all, if it came to that, he wouldnt be able to escape responsibility, right? He wouldnt leave without a word like the last two times. If it hadnt been for mom dragging brother back, they might have lost Brother Luo Xi by now. Anyway, since Sister Weier and mom werent here, it wouldnt be a big deal to just not tell them when she got back. Why did she like Brother Luo Xi so much? Aina reminisced about everything since they met. From not disliking the scent on Luo Xi at first, thus letting her sister take him in for one night, to gradually developing more and more favorability toward him. Brother had told her that she could be her own hero too. But she didnt need to be. Because brother had already become the hero who saved her and her sister. [Ding! Ainas favorability towards you +15] Luo Xi: "..." His hand stiffened. Control yourself! He couldnt keep petting whimsically; he didnt want to wake up in the middle of the night to find a yandere Wolf Eared Lolita standing over his bed with a firewood chopper. Luo Xi put Aina back on the bed and ruffled her hair, chuckling, "You cant stay too long in this world, Aina, we have little time, how about I take you out for a stroll?" "Oh..." Aina rubbed Luo Xis hand with her head, feeling a twinge of disappointment. Was that it, just a touch on the tail? But this was indeed the real Brother Luo Xi. Heh, Sister Weier, Aina is the first to meet brother! S~ea??h the n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Ding! Ainas favorability towards you +10] Luo Xi: "?" Why cant this favorability stop increasing! [Note: Worthless traveler, we predict youll sooner or later face the blade~] Chapter 226 - 185 Dressing Aina in Long White Stockings (Don’t lick it!)_1 Chapter 226: Chapter 185 Dressing Aina in Long White Stockings (Dont lick it!)_1Luo Xi felt as if there was indeed a glaring cleaver hovering above his head. A cute Beast Eared Girls favorability towards you keeps rising, which should be a beautiful thing. But when favorability rises too much, it could turn into a beautiful demise. [Note: Actually, its not that bad. As long as you, garbage Traveler, dont abandon her halfway, at most youd just be chopped into several pieces by the cleaver, just endure it and itll pass, you wont die~] Goddamn endure it and itll pass, wont die my ass! Brother Cheng would cry if he saw this! Luo Xi resisted the urge to continue to pet Ainas wolf ears, removing his hand from her head. Before heading to Wanxiang City, he had to get Aina a pair of ordinary shoes so she could walk; oh, and a hat was needed too, to cover up those wolf ears on her head. After all, the tail could be explained away as part of a cosplay, and even if someone touched it, they generally wouldnt realize it was real. But those wolf ears, which could be easily distinguished as real at a glance, its better to cover them up first. Luo Xi remembered there were a few childrens shoe stores outside this old street, but at this time they should be closed. Of course, there might be street vendors selling shoes and clothes at the night market just outside the old street. "Aina, wait here for a moment." Under the Wolf Eared Lolitas puzzled gaze, Luo Xi quickly made a round outside, bought a pair of casual white shoes from a street vendor, thought for a moment, added a pair of white thigh-high stockings, and then bought a hat from the next stall, paid the money, and ran back. The stall owner was also stunned by Luo Xi. Never seen such an impatient customer. [Note: Garbage Traveler, are you so eager to try the Cute Wolf brand ice cream?] Eat a hammer! Ive told you several times, whenever you, damn text, turn into a Lolita wearing white thigh-highs and come before me, then Ill eat! [Note: Thats probably not Tsk. Luo Xi hummed. He figured out the damn texts true nature. Normally it tempts him wantonly, taking shots at him, but trying to make it come out was impossible. After arriving home, Luo Xi tossed the shoes and stockings on the bed. "Aina, put these on, and then well go." "Okay!" The Little Wolf Girl picked up the things Luo Xi threw over, her big tea-golden eyes filled with confusion. She figured out the stockings. But the style of these shoes, why did it feel like she had never seen them before? The Dream World didnt have shoes that required lacing up. Aina said softly, "Brother Luo Xi, can you help me put them on? Ive never worn these before." Luo Xi: "?" He looked at the bare, fair legs of the Wolf Eared Lolita. Impossible that someone wouldnt know how to wear stockings, right? Was this Little Wolf Girl teasing him? But considering Ai Xue might have already left, Luo Xi didnt have time to linger here, so he opened the plastic packaging of the thigh-high stockings, pulled them up, and started helping Aina put them on her feet one by one. "Hmm... is it done, Brother Luo Xi?" "Dont move around; its not done yet." "Um, Aina feels so strange~" "Is it too tight?" "Its okay, Im sorry, Brother Luo Xi. Its my first time wearing these; I have no experience." "Can you not talk for a while, Aina?" "Wu wu, does Brother Luo Xi find Aina annoying?" "Forget what I said..." Luo Xi felt like he was going to lose his mind. This Little Wolf Girl was definitely doing this on purpose, wasnt she? Its just putting on stockings, but she made him feel like he was doing something indecent. [Note: Actually, it should be going to the wolves~ And hey, garbage Traveler, arent you going to lick?] I wont lick! Luo Xi took a deep breath to calm his fluctuating mood. He slowly pulled the thigh-high stockings up Ainas legs, the cute lace matched her fair skin perfectly. After passing the knees, they moved further up the thigh. Finally, a portion of bare thigh was revealed between the bottom of the white dress and the stockings, an area that, in ACG culture, is known as the Absolute Territory, a significant cuteness factor. He did the same for the other leg. After finishing, Luo Xi gently tugged at the stockings. The elastic stocking stretched out, and when he let go, it snapped back into place. Snap! A crisp sound. "Ow" Aina covered the spot that was snapped, letting out a soft whimper, her eyes filled with injustice as she looked at Luo Xi: "Brother Luo Xi, is this also a necessary step in putting on these stockings?" "..." Luo Xi: "Sort of." [Note: Hentai!] Aina touched her own leg, now donning the thigh-high stockings, and blinked. Brother is lying~ But why does she feel even fonder of this Brother Luo Xi? [Ding! Ainas favorability towards you +3] Luo Xi: "..." Fxxk! Sear?h the novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. So no matter what he does, favorability would still increase, huh. [Note: So, even the risqu stuff can boost favorability~] No risqu stuff! Luo Xi put the shoes on Aina, tied the laces, and then placed a hat on the Little Wolf Girls head. He then checked his own hat. Aina exclaimed in surprise, "Brother, the horns on your head... seem a bit off." "Ah, this." Luo Xi took off his hat, revealing the intangible black and red dragon horns, and reached out to touch them, but his hand passed straight through. He explained, "Our world doesnt have pure Yuan Su, so the changes that happened to me in that world are halted in me here." Aina bit her finger thoughtfully, "No wonder I felt this world lacked that gentle feeling~ So its because theres no Yuan Su. Then what is used as energy in Brother Luo Xis world?" Chapter 227 - 185 Dressing Aina in Long White Stockings (Don’t lick it!)_2 Chapter 227: Chapter 185 Dressing Aina in Long White Stockings (Dont lick it!)_2Yuan Su can be said to be the foundation of all industrial systems in the Dream world. Essence Power armor, Essence Power cars, Essence weapons, and even various daily necessities... All conventional industrial systems, as well as alchemy, runes, and craftsman systems, are built upon Yuan Su. Aina could not imagine how a world without Yuan Su would operate. Although in that previous vague dream, she had already seen many inconceivable things. After thinking for a moment, Luo Xi said, "It should be oil." "Oil?" Aina did not understand this term exclusive to reality. "Our world has quite a variety of energy systems, and oil is just one of the more important raw materials." Luo Xi picked up Aina from the bed, gently placed her on the ground, and said with a smile, "But because there is no Yuan Su, there are no Transcendence-related powers, and the descriptions of such powers exist mostly in myths." Aina said softly, "That also sounds pretty good, Transcendence... the power used by high-ranking persons to rule over ordinary people, it would be just as well without it. Aina really wants to live in Brothers world." "Its not necessarily all good." Luo Xi sighed and said, "This world has also gone through too many wars, and when those firearms sweep across, they claim lives much faster than an average Transcendent can." Moreover, the Two Worlds can be said to have completely connected, with Dreamland Travelers from the Dream world appearing in this one, and Transcendents gradually emerging here as well. Although this world has no Yuan Su, the Essence Crystals condensed from Yuan Su can still be brought over. The game "Dawn" is probably not the work of humans from reality, so is it the great will of the Dream world or perhaps the doing of something behind the Damn Text??? [Note: Garbage Traveler, wanna guess?~] No guessing, crawl. Luo Xi patted Ainas hat and said with a smile, "Lets get going, my underclassman should be arriving soon, it wouldnt be good to keep her waiting too long." "Mhm, Brother Luo Xi, is that person really just your underclassman?" Aina asked. "Well, she is also my boss..." [Note: After becoming a Little Lolita, she could actually be a wife too~] Crawl! x2 Aina tilted her head: "A boss? Brother, are you depending on women?" "Of course not!" Luo Xi, somewhat amused and exasperated, took Aina out the door and directly hailed a taxi on the street. In shadows of the old street that Luo Xi couldnt see, a man stepped out from the shadows, took out his phone, and sent a message. [The target and an unidentified girl with a big tail got into a taxi and left together.] [With a big tail? What the heck... You follow first, weve already dispatched a player with the Eye of Truth talent, along with ten combat personnel. He will assess the rarity of that persons talent, and if its purple or above, then we can prepare to take action tonight. By the way, are there any Travel Bureau people tailing them nearby?] [There shouldnt be any Travel Bureau personnel watching him nearby, perhaps they think we wont make a move on him so soon again. Ill chase after them; theyre about to leave my search radius.] The man put away his phone, hopped on a motorcycle, and followed the departing taxi. Purple Epic-grade Talent Crystals are now soaring in value to two to five billion US dollars on global Dreamland Travelers related black market forums, and some are even priceless. After all, not everyone can draw a good talent at the start, and the wealthy are not worried about spending money. A little cash in exchange for a high-level talent that can genuinely increase strength is an offer no one would refuse. For these money-grabbing player hunters, getting hold of a Talent Crystal like this means they wouldnt have to worry about their lives in the future. On the taxi. Aina was curiously looking at the various parts inside the taxi. Is this the car of this world? The taxi driver looked in the rearview mirror and said with a smile, "Young man, is this your sister? Shes quite cute. And thats a tail? Youre out so late, are you guys off to shoot a nocturnal cos short film?" Sarch* The ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Luo Xi also smiled, "Thats right." Sure enough, for someone who has never seen Mutant Patients with their own eyes, they would never take that tail for real upon first glance at Aina. Fifteen minutes later, the taxi arrived at Wanxiang City. Ai Xue was already waiting at the entrance to the cat caf. However, when Luo Xi saw that figure wrapped in a loose coat, even shorter than Aina beside him, he couldnt help but burst into laughter. One could say that with her wolf ears, Ainas height was even a bit taller than Ai Xue right now. "Senior, what are you laughing at?" Ai Xue huffed and puffed her way over, raised her fist, and punched Luo Xis chest. As a result, Luo Xi flew backward like a kite with its string cut, towards the far flower beds, o(xnx)o crashing against the trunk of a large tree. The whole tree shook, and a bunch of leaves fell onto Luo Xis head. Fortunately, there werent many passersby on the corner where the cat caf was located at night, otherwise, they would have definitely thought they were seeing things. "Brother Luo Xi!" "Senior!" Two legally and illegally young Lolitas ran toward the flower bed together. As Ai Xue ran, she noticed the girl beside her staring at her fiercely. "What are you doing!" Ai Xue couldnt understand what Aina said but could still catch the hostility in her tone; clearly, she was being reproached. But she could not argue. It was her fault for not being cautious, her punch had sent the senior flying... "I... am... fine..." Luo Xi, clutching his numbed chest, slowly slid down from the tree trunk. His Life Value dropped by 5%. That was because his Physique had already reached fifty-five points. Otherwise, the punch might not have been much different from being hit by a truck. He asked the young Ai Xue in front of him, "Ai Xue, how much is your Strength now?" Ai Xue checked her stats, looked down, and, wiping her tears, said, "56 points... sniffle, my original Strength attribute was 24 points, but I lost 60% due to dying three times. Now, Ive got a 480% boost, Senior, I didnt mean it, I really forgot, and I cant control my own strength... sniffle..." No wonder, her Strength was almost the same as his, its normal to accidentally send someone flying when losing control. [Ding! Ai Xues Guilt Value towards you +100] "I know, Ai Xue, stop crying..." "Brother, are you okay?" Aina also (n) threw herself into Luo Xis arms. Pfft! [Ding! Your Life Value -0.1%] Luo Xi (d????) hugged the soft Little Wolf Girl. Ouch! Embracing a cute Little Wolf Lolita with wolf ears should have been a delightful thing. Now it was almost turning into a beautiful demise. [Note: Garbage Traveler, dont act innocent after taking advantage of the situation!] Chapter 235 - 188: Are Aina and her sister unable to satisfy their brother?_1 Chapter 235: Chapter 188: Are Aina and her sister unable to satisfy their brother?_1In the Spark, Luo Xi slowly exhaled a turbid breath. [Ding! Your title: [Butcher] has been promoted to [Ten-handed Blood Butcher].] [Ten-handed Blood Butcher: This title is only awarded when you kill more than ten enemies within a short period. Equipping this title allows you to control killing intents within a certain range, affecting all those whose Tiers or wills are not higher than yours with dread.] [Ding! You have earned the title: Traveler Reaper.] [Traveler Reaper: This title is granted to Travelers whove slain more than ten players. When equipped, other Travelers from different worlds will instinctively fear you when they come near.] Uh? Both of these titles arent bad. If I can make people back off just with my presence, it might save a lot of unnecessary trouble. Luo Xi muttered softly, "Spark, this should be good enough." "Mhm." Spark hugged Luo Xis forehead and gave it a kiss, "Then Master, good night. Spark is really looking forward to your next fiery entrance~" Luo Xi: "..." If anyone only heard Sparks last sentence, theyd probably think something kinky. As the metal enveloping his body softened, Luo Xis figure gently lowered to the ground, the black liquid swiftly congregated, turning back into a metallic sphere. He glanced at the pile of charred, flattened corpses on the ground. Luo Xi suddenly realized that these player hunters were really poor. They were the true paupers. He estimated that except for the leader, none of these guys had a single blue rarity item of gear. [Note: Damn Traveler, hanging on the wall! Now that youre hugging Mommy-in-laws tender thighs, you look down on us common Travelers, dont you?] This is a blatant slander! My strength today all comes from my unyielding will and persistent perseverance... [Note: And two beast-eared lolitas!] Damn text, crawl away! Of course, sniping at the damn text is one thing, but Luo Xi still knew his own situation. Most of his high-tiered equipment came from Liya, including the Tier Four runes and even Spark, which could be said to be given to him by Liya. After the Winter City incident, he really could say hes latched onto Liyas thigh. [Note: Damn Traveler, you admit it then, you are hugging Mommy-in-laws thigh because you tried to abduct two little beast-eared lolitas~] Thats not abduction, thats traveling! Luo Xi looked back. Over there with Aina and the others, the Tier Four Skill brought by the scroll, Glory Wall, had faded and lost its light. Such scrolls probably have only a fraction of the power of a genuine Tier Four Skill, they cant compare. But with enough of them, they could still kill a person. Luo Xi silently made a decision in his heart. When he parts ways with Liya later, hell have Cat Cat ask Liya for a hundred and eighty scrolls of Tier Four Skills. [Note: Damn Traveler! Depending on women! Hugging big thighs!] No more pretense, hell take them! After all, it was Liya whod dragged him back when he was struggling to make up his mind, so whats wrong with eating a soft meal? (Righteous) When Luo Xi went over, a cute creature, as expected, pounced at him. "Brother Luo Xi!" Aina threw herself into Luo Xis embrace, rubbing her little face against his chest, greedily smelling his scent. Compared to Ai Xue, she wasnt that panicked. After all, Brother will surely win. Luo Xi also happily petted the Little Wolf Girl. After a fight, petting a beast-eared girl would instantly lift some of the gloom in his heart. [Ding! Your Happiness Level +40] Ai Xue walked toward Luo Xi. She lowered her head slightly, not daring to look at the many corpses in front of her, and said with her eyes red, "Senior, are you alright?" "Yeah, Im fine. Just a bunch of rotten fish and shrimps." Luo Xi also patted Ai Xues hair and, remembering her previous confession, joked, "Your senior is a murderous demon, do you still want me to be your boyfriend?" "Yes!" Ai Xue looked up, determination in her eyes, "If senior agrees, we can go to that five-star hotel and book a presidential suite today. Its only about one or two in the morning now, there should still be three or four hours before I revert back..." Luo Xi: "..." Does Ai Xue really think of him as some perverted loli-con? [Note: Arent you one?] Of course not! And why does this junior like him so much anyway? Luo Xi still couldnt quite understand, even now. They only met because of a volunteer activity two years ago, and hed always kept his distance from Ai Xue since then, even blocking her for three months this semester. Aina listened somewhat bewildered to their conversation while staring at Luo Xis hand which was petting Ai Xues head. Although she didnt understand the specifics, she felt that if this girls wishes were granted, then her and Weiers statuses would be in jeopardy. Aina (n) cried out, "Brother Luo Xi, are Aina and Sister Weier not satisfying you? Anyway, now that Sister Weier and Mommy arent here, Brother can get closer to Aina!" [Note: Two lolitas fighting for a husband~ Damn Traveler, the door to being an orange farmer is wide open to you~ Ten years of a long-term meal ticket, just for you.] Luo Xi: "?" He definitely doesnt want to be pedaling a sewing machine with Wu Qian! The several Travelers from the Travel Bureau who were walking over heard what Ai Xue and Aina said and were also dumbfounded on the spot. No matter Ai Xue or Aina, their youthful appearances combined with their words made them think the young man was a bustard. If it were any other time, they might have already handcuffed the guy. Members of the Travel Bureau do occasionally have the side job of playing cops. But... They definitely couldnt beat him! Calling in everyone from the Haicheng Travel Agency wouldnt be enough to take him on! Mu Yao recalled the little girls clothes he had seen in the wardrobe at Luo Xis house. This hidden superpower, he truly was a senior loli-con! The woman spoke, "Could we... wait until the scene has been dealt with... Mr. Luo Xi, those vicious game hunters were all killed by you alone, and the talent crystals extracted, as well as the materials inside the baggage, should all belong to you." "You go ahead and extract the talent crystals first, and once youre done, Ill call someone to clean up the site. Also, we hope you can honor us by visiting our Haicheng Travel Agency later." A twitch formed in the corner of Luo Xis eye. Fxxk! The things Ai Xue and Aina had said were all overheard by these people. sea??h th n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. I feel like Im about to face social death. [Note: Since Im going to face social death anyway, why not just do it for real?] Do your head! With an air of nonchalance, Luo Xi pulled the two lolitas to his sides and spoke in an even tone, "What if I dont go?" Tonights situation wouldnt have blown up like this if those Dreamland Travel Bureau folks had warned him earlier instead of using him as bait to fish. Thats why he wasnt particularly keen on showing them a friendly face. Although he could die in the game and rewind, it didnt mean much anymore, and he also realized that sooner or later he was bound to use Yuan Su in this world. "No worries." Master Jiujian, clutching his abdomen, made his way towards Luo Xi with a pale face and said, "Whether you come or not, we are very grateful for your intervention. We would like to offer you some important information related to the Dream world as a reward. As for the talent crystals, having too many of the lower-tier ones is useless. I would suggest that you sell us any you dont need. We will give you a fair price." Luo Xi hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Alright." "Furthermore, we would like to invite you to join our Haicheng Travel Agency. We can offer you the highest level of..." Luo Xi shook his head, "Lets not and say we did." Old Man Jiujian fell silent for a moment and then said, "Then, might we invite you to become an honorary special advisor? Dont be in a hurry to refuse. This position doesnt carry the daily responsibilities of a regular Travel Agency member, nor any obligations. You dont even have to show up for work. Even the missions we assign to you can be chosen by you whether or not to undertake them, and nobody can force you. Of course, the compensation would still be the best." Luo Xi was taken aback. Terms so generous? Could there be a catch hidden somewhere? Mu Yao, Brother Zhang, and the woman were also somewhat baffled. An honorary advisor position in the Travel Agency with such great treatment and terms? They wanted that, too! "Are there no other requirements?" Luo Xi asked. "None," the old man shook his head. Luo Xi pondered for a moment. "Well then... its a deal." Having fully exposed himself this time, since the Travel Agency was offering such tempting conditions, he might as well accept them. The four of them remained quietly by Luo Xis side, helping him clean up the corpses strewn everywhere. After ten minutes, Luo Xi left the street with the two girls. He left behind seven green talent crystals and five white ones, taking the remaining few better ones with him. Surprisingly, he extracted a purple talent crystal, impressing everyone for quite a while. Meanwhile, personnel from the Travel Agency and the police force had already started arriving at the scene. The woman whispered to Jiujians side, "Master Jiujian, why did you concoct such a far-fetched position? The higher-ups would never arrange that for him! If he finds out youre deceiving him..." "Who said I was deceiving him?" Master Jiujian cast a glance at her and said, "You dont know because your clearance isnt high enough. For a young man with such tremendous talent and strength, we absolutely cant suppress him. Forget about being merely honorary; we have to pull him in closer. Moreover, after this incident, its likely hell be placed within the top ten of the hunter forums Dangerous Level. Having our Haicheng Travel Agency associated with his name would really put us in the spotlight." ... Luo Xi walked with Ai Xue and Aina on a bridge along the river. Haichengs night scenery at one or two in the morning was still utterly resplendent, drawing Ainas curiosity-fueled gaze all around, her tea gold eyes reflecting the citys dazzling lights. Ai Xue asked quietly, "Senior, where are we headed?" "Im not sure either..." Luo Xi suddenly felt a bit lost. His hands were trembling. Having killed over a dozen real people in a row, he hadnt felt much at the time, but now he wondered if he was becoming detached? By the way, why had he brought two lolitas out with him? What was his original purpose? [Note: Score with two lolitas~ have dinner~ buy clothes (strike through)~ get a room~] Strike through the part about getting a room! Luo Xi said softly, "Ai Xue, you go home first." "Hmm..." Ai Xue looked down at Luo Xis face and said, "Senior, could you lower your head a bit? I want to tell you something." "What is it?" Luo Xi bowed his head slightly. Then, he felt his face being touched by something moist, brushed as if a dragonfly skimming water. By the time he lifted his head sharply, Ai Xue had already run off a dozen meters away. A girls voice floated in the night breeze, "Senior, the things I said are always valid, you can agree to them anytime~ Oh, and upright Senior, you wouldnt make a move on that little wolf girl, right?" "Did she leave?" Aina turned around and, with her keen perception, noticed a change on Luo Xis face, wondering, "Brother Luo Xi, why is your face a bit wet? Wait, this is... damn it! Aina knew she was up to no good! (ߣ)" "Brother Luo Xi, quick, lower your head, Aina has something she wants to tell you." Luo Xi: "...." [Note: Useless Traveler, feeling any better?] Yeah. A bit better. ----- ----- (The fox realized that it was indeed difficult for the protagonist to avoid entanglements with official realities, so instead of joining, the protagonist could be made an honorary figure, disconnected from official restrictions, to swoop in and show off when necessary. This should be acceptable to everyone~ Also, this segment is not charged for.) Chapter 236 - 189: The Fame of a Loli-con Travels Overseas~ I Don’t Want This Kind of Thing!_1 Chapter 236: Chapter 189: The Fame of a Loli-con Travels Overseas~ I Dont Want This Kind of Thing!_1[Ding! Your Happiness Level +66] [Ding! Your Happiness Level +15] Luo Xi rubbed Little Wolf Girls head and chuckled, "Aina, lets go home too." With the continuous healing from Ai Xue and Aina, he now felt much better. [Note: Having cute little lolitas around is indeed very healing for the body and soul, right, Loli-con Travelers?] No... definitely not! "Brother Luo Xi." Aina saw Luo Xi change the topic and puckered her lips in dissatisfaction, "That girl was allowed to kiss you; why cant Aina? Is it because Brother doesnt like Aina anymore? Are you going to abandon Aina and sister again?" As Little Wolf Girl spoke, her clear tea-golden eyes gradually lost their luster. [Ding! Ainas Yandere Value +5] Luo Xi: "..." This Aina, who kept diving deeper into the path of yandere the moment anything went wrong, was truly exasperating. "Its not that its not okay..." It was just a kiss on the face, after all. Luo Xi slightly lowered his head. Smack On the left side of his face, Luo Xi also felt a fleeting touch of moist warmth. By the time he lifted his head, Ainas face was flushed red; she turned her head to pretend to look at the scenery, not daring to look at him. [Ding! Ainas Favorability +10] [Ding! Your Happiness Level +99] [Note: Loli-con Traveler, why are you so easily pleased? If you were to do something even more salacious with this little wolf, wouldnt your happiness burst through the charts?] Ive already said I dont want to end up behind bars doing hard labor with Wu Qian! But... holding her to sleep at night should be okay, right? Cat Cat has been too strict with him; in the dream world, he hardly gets the chance to pet Ainas tail. But now. Ainas big tail, so fluffy and soft, he wanted to hold it in his arms and use it as a pillow~(*`). [Note: There you go, Traveler, showing your true colors again, hentai!] Hmph. Before going back to sleep, I still need to take a shower~ ... In the suburban area of Haicheng City, inside a secluded rented house. Crack! The gloomy man kicked the long table in front of him, his forehead bulging with veins, almost crazily bellowing, "Damn it! Why does that brat get so many precious things in the dream world? Why does he have such strong abilities? A golden talent, an epic-rated power armor, all the good stuff goes to him, huh! Is he the game companys own son?" Sear?h the ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "They even say hes just a player from a recent first internal testa load of bull! Who gave me this crappy information?" The gloomy man vented around the house for a long time before he gradually calmed down. This time, the hunting guild he created single-handedly was utterly destroyed, its core members butchered like chickens and dogs by that Luo Xi. Moreover, since he had called many freelance hunters, the shadowy hunter community in Xia country probably wouldnt look favorably on him ever again. The gloomy man picked up his phone and saw the red +99 notification on a certain app, his heart sinking. He opened it and, surely enough, found many people tagging him on the hunter forum, accusing him of falsifying enemy information and harboring malicious intentions. The entire forum was discussing their tonights hunting operation. Even the complete battle footage from the streets had been posted, pinned to the top of the forum. The discussion was off the charts, even climbing to the number one hotspot in the international section. The gloomy mans hands trembled as he clicked on the number one discussion post in the international section. [Bear King: Is this a new master from Xia country?] [Argo: 666! The guy in the video fights dozens single-handedly, strong! One punch one little friend, @GoldenGun. Making you lowly Travelers think about killing people for gold coins every day, now youve overreached and hunted a big shot, kicked an iron board, right haha?] [Bear King: Indeed strong, the other Dreamland Travelers arent on his level. Heard this times hunting target was organized by the leader of a guild called Hunting Guild from Xia country, feels like that GoldenGun guild leader is a bit of a trap, could it be a sting operation from the Xia country officials?] [Hurricane: I also think its a sting by Xia countrys officials, but I looked at his information, and its all yellow-rated now. For these officials to infiltrate the forum as a level 10 yellow-rated, all of us here share some responsibility.] [Card Face Fighter No.1: Lets not talk about that ominous thingfellows, how do you judge this persons strength?] [Bear King: Judging by his performance in the video, by Dreamland standards, without the suppression from the Divine Tree, hes slightly stronger than a third-tier peak Transcendent. But his own abilities might be weak, its just that the power armor-like equipment provides him with a huge boost.] [Cherry Blossoms of Homeland: Pfft, just another Xia country person relying on crooked methods, ultimately just a piece of garbage when taken down! Wait until we steal that suit from him and then trash him!] [Argo: Is the Traveler above from Ri Island or the sneaky thieves from the neighboring Tou Country? Dare to reveal your identity?] ... (translated by the forums built-in translator) Smash! The man furiously threw his phone to the ground. And now he was even being mistaken for someone from Xia countrys Dreamland Travel Bureau? A sting operation? Impossible! Everyones focus was on that Luo Xi, while all he got was abuse and curses. Couldnt they see that bastard was pretending to be weak while preying on the strong? The gloomy mans insane gaze sharpened; he picked up his phone and messaged the moderator of the forums international board privately. He had to make that person pay! As long as he spread the word about the golden talent and equipment rating, even if that guy was strong, facing the covetous gazes of many, he wouldnt remain safe forever. As for the other owner of a golden talent that Glasses had mentioned... That girl was still weak, he still had a chance! So, three hours later, a new character was updated on the International Hunter Forums Danger Ranking list. [Luo Xi: Xia country person / 24 years old / Male] [Known intel : First-tier Mutated Transcender (questionable) / Has long-divorced parents, hasnt contacted them for years, was one of the first batch of players in the grand internal test on 9.23 (highly questionable). When hunted last night, he was accompanied by a cute Lolita junior (questionable, current intel suggests shes quite mature), and a little girl with wolf (dog) Mutated characteristics (origin unknown), both girls being around thirteen or fourteen years of age. From this it is inferred, is this person a Lolita-con? (Maybe)] [Known intel : Suspected capability of precognition to avoid danger / Possesses a golden Legendary level talent / Has an epic+ rated kinetic armor that is easy to carry, able to complete deployment and full-body outfit in about twenty seconds / Is a Red Dragon Species factor Mutated Transcender, with extremely powerful flame-based Mutated abilities] [Dangerous Level: Black 18 (extremely dangerous, master-level hunters are advised not to hunt alone, hunters should be prepared for the possibility of being counter-hunted, it is possible to try killing him before he uses that armored equipment)] Unbeknownst to Luo Xi, his notoriety skyrocketed overnight, and his name spread through the international hunter forums and websites related to "Dawn". The black Danger Level signifies the highest level, ranked 18, meaning that among the Dreamland Travelers whose abilities are currently exposed, Luo Xis power ranking has already reached a very high position. Even the reason hes currently ranked 18th is because his battle achievements only include last nights incident, so its hard to precisely determine his power tier, but from the video, that relaxed demeanor suggests hes at least reached Third-tier. Someone gave Luo Xi such a nickname. [Black Reaper] A nickname that sounds like hes not one to be messed with. Until a new post popped up. Poster: Card Face Puncher No. 1[Forget about titles, I just want to know, this newly emerged big shot Dreamland Traveler, is he really a Lolita-con?] [Argo: Reject infantile aesthetics, start with yourself!] [Bermula: Blind guess, definitely is, otherwise who would bring two Lolis out to play in the middle of the night? And after the Mutation, the Beast Eared Girls are indeed adorable, if it werent impossible to bring them back to reality, Id like to raise a couple myself] [Hometown Sakura: Agree +1] [Hurricane: +2@Bermula, thats easy, after the first batch of the grand internal test, there have been people working in this industry, the reality is, Travelers who turn into Variants can vary in price on the black market depending on their factors, a well-trained Cat-eared Girl is now worth at least a billion] [Bermula: ??? Any channels to buy one?] [Bear King: ...Can you guys calm down? Why not go mine something in the Dream world to clear your heads?] [Deep Sea Heart: +3 Little Beast Eared Lolita is awesome!] This post sparked a new surge of discussions. So, after a night of discussions by Travelers from around the globe, a new nickname for Luo Xi was settled. [Black Lolita-con Reaper] ... Seven in the morning. The air conditioner on the first floor was whooshing cool air. Luo Xi smelt the familiar fragrance of flowers and sweet scents as his eyelids slightly opened. The old building was actually quite cool, the landlord had said that even during the hottest times, there wasnt much need for air conditioning, and that was indeed the case, he had hardly ever used it. But although the air conditioning was on today, Luo Xi still felt somewhat hot. "Mmm" There seemed to be something soft in his arms, emitting the heat. Luo Xi instinctively squeezed it. In a moment, a sleepy and cute voice came from beneath the covers. "Brother Luo Xi... Aina is so sleepy, stop touching... keep touching... the fur on the tail will fall off..." Luo Xis eyebrows twitched, pulling open the covers. The Little Wolf Girls big tail was being held in his arms, its fur tousled beyond recognition, resembling a chicken nest after a pig had rummaged through it. Luo Xi: "!" What happened? After coming back last night, Luo Xi felt extremely tired and, after taking a bath with Aina, they both collapsed into bed and fell into a deep sleep, to the extent that he didnt even pet her a few times. He shouldnt have done anything... right?" [Note; Hardly did anything?! You almost rubbed her tail bald!] Whatever, just petting a tail, no big deal, the Cat Cat would probably not mind much after seeing it. Suddenly, a regular text popped up in front of Luo Xi. [Ding! Traveler, you have earned the title: Black Lolita-con Reaper] [Description: This is a title recognized by over two thousand Otherworld Travelers, please keep up the good work. Currently, the title has no special effects, but as more Travelers recognize this title, it will gain a certain enhancement~ (Next required number of people: 10000)] ? What the hell is this? [Note: Rejoice! The name of scrap Traveler as a Lolita-con will henceforth spread overseas, and all shall tremble at its mention!] Luo Xi: "???" He didnt want this kind of thing at all! Chapter 238 - 191: Aina’s tail will not lose to your chest!_1 Chapter 238: Chapter 191: Ainas tail will not lose to your chest!_1On a ride hailing car. In the end, Luo Xi took a taxi with Aina to Ai Xues home. Aina looked out the window at the city streets flitting by and the high rises reflecting the sunlight, her brown-black hair fluttering in the breeze created by the fast-moving car. The little wolf girl held down her hat, but her eyes still sparkled with excitement. The world where Brother Luo Xi lives is really interesting, aside from the not-so-great air quality, everything seems fun. Of course, the most important thing is theres a lot of delicious food! I wish I could eat it every day. Like Brothers yogurt... sour and sweet. Aina unwittingly drooled a bit at the thought. Luo Xi took the opportunity while Aina was looking at the scenery to skillfully place her big tail on his lap, gently petting it and smoothing out some of the unkempt fur from the morning. Anyone who didnt know better would probably think Luo Xi was just playing with the tail of a girl cosplaying an anime character. Those who knew... The driver pushed up his glasses, glanced at the rearview mirror, and quietly observed the curious duo of the young man and little Lolita in the back seat. He thought to himself, its indeed the overnight sensation "Black Death God who is a Lolita-con", already out early in the morning with a little Lolita, brazenly playing with the beast-girl Lolitas tail on the road. This strange title really wasnt given in vain. Luo Xi had literally exploded in popularity among players overnight. The Dreamland Travelers community worldwide, and the officials of various countries involved with "Dawn," nearly all knew about this new expert from Xia country, Luo Xi, whose three-minute video of crushing a group of hunters went viral for study. Now many knew he possessed a very powerful piece of equipment, but his actual strength might not be that great, so amidst the various undercurrents, the Haicheng City Travel Bureau also increased the secrecy and protection around Luo Xi, the new special consultant. A series of countermeasures were being planned and organized. This included transport services like taxis. If Luo Xi used his smartphone app to call a car or order takeout while he was in Haicheng City, the ride would only come from someone dispatched by the Travel Bureau. He had no idea that the driver was an informant for the Bureau. Otherwise, Luo Xi wouldnt have been so unrestrained in petting Ainas big tail. Luo Xi glanced at the message. Liya and Weier were already up in the Dream World, Liya having gone out to handle some matters in Winter City after breakfast yesterday, leaving Cat Cat to watch over their home. Weier had inquired several times when hed be back since waking up. [Traveler, tell Cat Cat that you will probably be back in a few hours, you are currently out with Aina having fun] [Cat Cat said somewhat sadly: "Then go have fun, your mind isnt here right now anyway, well talk when you all return."] Luo Xi: "..." Why does he feel that Cat Cat seems like a confined woman full of grievances? [Note: Care for lonely Cat Cat! Everyones responsibility!You abducted Cat Cats sister and took her sister out to have fun, but forgot about her, you garbage Traveler, do you think one Cute Wolf brand ax is not enough, so you want to have another Cat Cat brand ax?] Damn it! If only that damn text would upgrade the cradle and nesting functions, would it allow me to kidnap two at once... Can I bring them out together or not? Weier and Aina had lived together for so many years, depending on each other; Luo Xi did feel a bit bad always bringing only one of them out at a time. [Note: Then, garbage Traveler, you will have to fetch a part of the branches from those still existing Eternal World Trees~] [Ding! Dreamland and nesting upgrade plan as follows] [Description: Acquire a tip branch and ten thousand leaves from any still surviving branch of the Eternal World Tree] Luo Xi: "?" Such an absurd upgrade requirement. Is the Eternal World Tree even something he could come in contact with now? The Winter Divine Tree might be manageable. Just as Luo Xi was about to complain about the damn text, his phone in his pocket buzzed. [Mr. Luo Xi, regarding the Talent Crystals you left with us last night, our purchase offer is ten million per green Talent Crystal irrespective of quality, and two million per white Talent Crystal irrespective of quality. You may find these prices low. If sold on the foreign black market, they could fetch many times this amount. However, Xia country is striving to control the price trend for Talent Crystals. If the prices are too high, it would lead many to risk their lives to kill for crystals. After all, rarity raises value. Once the number of Travelers increases and the output of Talent Crystals from regular missions increases, the price will drop precipitously. ] [If you agree, we will transfer the funds to you immediately. If not, we will return the crystals to you to dispose of as you please. ] Luo Xi: "...." He didnt really care about how much money it was. Having enough to use was all that mattered. Otherwise, he would have accepted Ai Xues pursuit two years ago; isnt it nice to have a rich beauty for an easy life? He sent back a message saying [Agreed]. One minute later. Ding! Haicheng City Dreamland Travel Branch has transferred 80,000,000 yuan to your account ending in xxxx. Luo Xi: ! Despite having anticipated it, the sight of so many zeros lying in his bank account still made Luo Xis heart race. [Ding! Your Happiness Level +200] No wonder the player hunters were so crazed. In a way, they were also walking tens of millions. For the rich, spending a few hundred million or even billions to buy a high-tier Talent Crystal to enhance themselves was not an issue. All of a sudden, Luo Xi felt that the situation in the Dream World, where Mutant Patients were oppressed like slaves, did not seem quite so different from reality. Everywhere was essentially dog-eat-dog. Xia country was relatively stable, with the Dreamland Travel Bureau continuously hunting player hunters, but ordinary players in other countries... they probably wouldnt dare expose themselves easily. Unless they joined their countrys officials or other major organizations. Speaking of which, he still had three blue Talent Crystals and one purple Talent Crystal on hand. [Talent Crystal: Eye of Truth (Purple/Epic)] [Description: Allows you to see the truth that you want to know] Leaving aside the blue crystals, the purple crystal named [Eye of Truth] only claimed to clarify the truth, but Luo Xi guessed it must have more uses. Its a pity that the Talent deletion count and this months Talent slot replacement count were already used up. Should we give it to Ai Xue? Her potential is really strong. One person can possess up to eight talents. If Ai Xues strength grows, shell be a good help when facing danger. Not sure when shell be able to leave the novice village. Ai Xues novice village cant possibly be more difficult than mine, right? While Luo Xis thoughts were wandering, the car suddenly stopped, and the drivers voice rang out: "Good day, Mr. Your destination, Shuijing Garden, has arrived. Please take your Little Lolita with you, and be safe." "Hmm." Luo Xi nodded subconsciously. Huh? What did the driver just say? Did I hear that wrong? He looked at the driver with a peculiar expression, opened the car door, and got out with Aina. The villas here in Shuijing Garden start at a minimum of twenty million. Ai Xue really is a little rich girl. After arriving at villa No. 18, he saw a slightly pale but fashionably dressed young beauty leaning against the villas iron gate, waving at him. "Senior... Over here, over here! Ive already opened the garage door. Which one do you want to drive, the Porsche or the Maserati?" Luo Xi: "...." If he hadnt come into money, hed turn and walk away right now. Luo Xi walked over with Aina, trying not to look at the snowy whiteness of Ai Xues revealed cleavage, and said, "Ai Xue, cant you drive yourself?" "I can, but senior, my reaction speed and strength have both dipped to very low levels..." "Liar!" Both of them paused and looked at Aina who was by their side. Aina pointed at Ai Xues snowy chest, (n) and said, "You liar! You have such big breasts, and youre a lot taller than Aina. How did you turn into a little girl last night? Dont think about using this to bewitch Brother Luo Xi! Brother Luo Xi played with Ainas tail all night yesterday! Ainas tail definitely wont lose to your boobs!" Ai Xue, with a baffled face, looked at Luo Xi: "What is this child talking about?" Luo Xi: "...Nothing much." Sarch* The N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Thankfully, Ai Xue couldnt understand the language of the Dream world yet. The three of them then left the villa in a Maserati. Luo Xi drove very cautiously on the road while Aina looked around curiously from the passenger seat, and Ai Xue gave him temporary instructions from the back. ... The Dreamland Travel Bureau in Haicheng City. Old Man Jiujian was somewhat vexed as he looked at the information about Luo Xi that Mu Yao had handed over. How idle were those player hunters? Why did they choose such a strange title? Now many other departments in Xia country are asking them about the "Black Death Reaper Loli-con". "The special consultant went to the mall?" "Yes." "Did you find the identity information of that girl with wolf ears and tail?" "Couldnt find it. Shes like someone who appeared out of Dawn." "Impossible! At this stage, the mutual compatibility of life forms between the real world and the Dream world is almost zero!" Mu Yao speculated, "Could it be possible that its a method similar to ours when we appear in the Dream world?" Old Man Jiujian was startled. If that were the case, Luo Xi surely had some special method or some kind of peculiar equipment. The strength and hidden value of Luo Xi were becoming increasingly significant. Old Man Jiujian pondered, "Remind him that its not very safe recently, ask if he wants to live in the safe area, and by the way, give him the access rights to the consultants database." ..... Aina had never had so much fun. The three of them first went to a large mall, with Ai Xue taking Aina around brand-name childrens wear stores, shopping frantically, while Luo Xi followed behind carrying big and small bags. Although the store employees were curious why the girl had to always wear that tail when changing clothes, they didnt dare to ask too much since customers are always right. After all, rich people often have unique hobbies. Who knows if that tail is a hanging ornament or a plug-in accessory? After having a grilled fish meal, they went to a nearby amusement park. Ai Xue, not feeling well enough to play, sat in the service area of the amusement park, and Luo Xi took Aina on various rides, including the roller coaster. Soon it was nearly twelve oclock. Inside the ferris wheel cabin, Luo Xi suddenly noticed that Ainas body seemed to be turning transparent, allowing him to see the distant scenery through her. "Aina, you..." "Aina knows, times running out." Aina blinked, licked her ice pop with her tender little tongue, and said with a cute smile, "So, Brother Luo Xi, see you there. Weier sister must have been waiting for a long time, right? Its not nice to make her anxious." "...Yeah." Luo Xi nodded, but he still felt a sense of loss. Smack The cool sensation was fleeting. The Little Wolf Girl suddenly moved closer and quickly kissed his face, then retreated to sit on the other side of the cabin. The blush on her cute face faded under the noon sunlight streaming into the cabin. She said shyly with red cheeks: "Hehe, this is the second time, Weier sister probably hasnt beaten Aina yet~ Brother Luo Xi, Aina is looking forward to coming over again~" [Note: Damn Traveler, evidence conclusive! Take him away this very moment!] Chapter 239 - 192: Yogurt? Mother-in-law, the Lord, Caught on the Spot! _1 Chapter 239: Chapter 192: Yogurt? Mother-in-law, the Lord, Caught on the Spot! _1When the Ferris wheel reached its lowest point, Ai Xue was already waiting outside. As soon as Luo Xi emerged, she approached him with a chilled beverage in each hand. "Senior, this cola is for you, Aina gave it to... Huh? Where did Aina go?" Ai Xue peered in, confused, at the empty cabin, finding no sign of the Wolf Eared Lolita. Luo Xi subconsciously touched his face, feeling the remnants of moisture there. He calmly said, "Aina has already gone back." "Gone back?" Ai Xue was slightly startled. She had thought that Senior managed to permanently bring that Wolf Eared Lolita over from Dreamland. So there was a time limit after all? "So, Senior, where are we going this afternoon?" Ai Xue felt a little excited inside. Now that the third wheel was gone, it was going to be an exclusive time for her and Senior. In the afternoon, I think... lets move houses. I suggest you consider moving too, Ai Xue. Things might get a bit restless around here lately." Luo Xi glanced at the latest email on his phone. [Dear Mr. Luo Xi, due to the incident last night, there may be an increase in player hunters targeting you and those close to you in the near future. We recommend you to stay in the residential quarters specifically designed by our Travel Bureau for Dreamland Travelers, located in a valley in Haicheng City. The quarters are guarded around the clock, and currently home to more than three hundred travelers from across the country, all of exceptional quality and talent. The location is about an hours drive from the city center. You have the rights of a special consultant, with no need for access applications, allowing you to enter and leave the quarters anytime at will.] It seemed not bad. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Luo Xi was also a bit concerned. Normally, it wouldnt be an issue, but in a state of Dreamland synchronization, he was like a lamb to the slaughter in the real world, vulnerable to attack while unable to react. After all, it was still unclear whether Moonflows rewind ability would work in reality. He didnt dare to try it carelessly. The Damn Text didnt give him any answers either. "Move houses?" Ai Xue tentatively asked, "Can I move in with you, Senior?" If she could move in with Senior, her opportunities would be significantly greater! If all else failed, she might ambush Senior in the night and pin him down on the bed... [Ding! Ai Xues Desire Value towards you +20] Luo Xi: "..." Girl, your thoughts are almost written on your face! Luo Xi gave Ai Xue a glance: "You should have received the invitation too." "Invitation? Whats that?" Ai Xue checked her phone and found that she indeed had received an email. The email invited her to move into a residential area, claiming it was for the protection of new player travelers like herself. However, at the bottom of the email was a separate line of text. -- [As a consultant, Mr. Luo Xi has been allocated an individual villa within the residential quarters. Miss Ai Xue, if you prefer not to stay in a shared room in the quarters, you may discuss with Consultant Mr. Luo Xi before moving in.] "Senior" Putting down her phone, Ai Xue smiled with a drawn-out tone, her finger pressed to her lips, a fox-like smile on her slightly pale face: "May I stay in one of the rooms of your villa? I can pay you ten thousand yuan a month for rent~" Luo Xi: "?" What villa? He didnt own any villa! Though he had some money now, and buying a villa wasnt out of reach, he hadnt purchased one yet, had he? Ding! A new email arrived. [www.mengjing.com/Consultant Luo Xi, this is the official website of the Dreamland Travel Bureau. You currently have access to all public databases of the Haicheng City Bureau through your rights, can use the trading system, and have been granted residency in a single-family villa in Haichengs residential quarters.] Ai Xue quietly moved in front of Luo Xi, her finger still on her lips, a crafty smile on her face as she coyly murmured, "Senior, you wouldnt want your cute junior to end up tragically dying in the streets, right?" Luo Xi: "...." [Note: Such a junior should be thoroughly disciplined by a garbage traveler like you! At midnight, garbage traveler, make her cry out in joy as she becomes younger!] Scram, Damn Text! ... After deciding to move in the afternoon, Luo Xi drove Ai Xues car back to his old house, where a moving truck was already waiting outside. Upon entering the house, Luo Xi saw there wasnt much to take, so he sent over the items belonging to Weiers family first. Of course, he kept the large bed on the ground floor of Weiers home... not because he didnt want to return it, but it simply wasnt possible to pack it away directly. Unless he threw away all the covers and such, but whats the point? Just returning the bed frame wasnt useful... Ai Xue was soon picked up by the Travel Bureaus staff to go home and pack her things. Luo Xi sat in the moving truck, his gaze turning to the Text. [Traveler, its been over half an hour since Aina left your world, yet she is still quietly sleeping in the cradle. She seems not to hear you and Cat Cat calling for her.] [The cradle suddenly began to rock.] [Under your and Cat Cats anxious gaze, Aina stretched out her arms, lazily yawned, then clutched her Big Tail and plopped back down to snooze.] [A tiny bubble appeared on Ainas delicate little nose, growing bigger and smaller with her breathing.] [Pop!the bubble suddenly burst.] [The Wolf Eared Lolitas body quivered, clutching her tail tighter, and mumbled unconsciously, "Brother Luo Xi, dont stroke so hard, if all the fur falls out and I go bald, it wont feel nice to touch, and it would look terrible..."] [Traveler, you and Cat Cat exchanged glances.] Chapter 240 - 192: Yogurt? Mother-in-law, the Lord, Caught on the Spot! _2 Chapter 240: Chapter 192: Yogurt? Mother-in-law, the Lord, Caught on the Spot! _2[Weier stomped hard on your foot.] Luo Xi: "..." [Ding! Your pain value +20] [Aina continued obliviously, "Next time, can I let you touch Sisters tail? Do you want to touch it together, Brother? It feels a bit shy, but its not impossible, and if its Sister Weier, Aina doesnt mind at all, because shes Ainas sister after all..."] [Weier covered her ears and complained angrily, "What have you been teaching Aina? And why are you so rough with her? Werent you always very gentle before? What about when her fur is falling out; whats that all about?"] [Traveler, you sat on the sofa, rubbing the spot that had been stepped on, giving Cat Cat a puzzled look.] [Thats quite a few questions in a row.] [Is she getting angry?] [Note: Silly garbage Traveler, this Cat Cat is probably jealous of her little sister~ Next time treat her the same, and she should feel emotionally balanced~] Luo Xi: "..." Damn text, I trust you ghost! This damn text is really bad! But Aina is still sleeping and talking in her sleep; is this bed really that conducive to sleep? It can only be said, worthy of being the best bed in the world with a sleep desire of +100%. Mom doesnt have to worry about my insomnia anymore~ An hour later in the real world, the moving truck entered the residential park and headed straight for the villas at the back of the park. Many players walking through the park looked curiously at the direction the moving truck was heading. "Are the villas back there for people to live in?" "Nonsense! If its not for people to live in, then why build it? Obviously, the villas in the back are for the big shots to live in, but so far it seems only about three have been occupied."] With no luggage in hand, Luo Xi took the keys to the villa from the staff and walked around the area, finding it nestled against mountains and rivers, with artificial lakes and greenery done particularly well. There was a white-haired old man fishing by an artificial lake. Luo Xi frowned. That old man looks familiar... isnt he called Master Jiujian? Master Jiujian smiled, turning his head to say, "Young friend, its you! What a coincidence. Do you have any interest in joining this old man for some fishing?" "Not at the moment, I have urgent business to attend to in the game." Luo Xi shook his head and turned to walk towards the villa. He needed to sync up with the Dream World and see what was happening. He couldnt let Aina keep sleeping like that. Master Jiujian looked at his retreating figure and sighed softly, "Work and play should be balanced. After finishing up the morning fun, he goes straight to Dawn to seek opportunities. No wonder he became so strong in such a short time. Such a disciplined person, how could he possibly be a lolicon? Those idiots really just talk too much, ruining what was a good title." "Lets throw him a welcome party for his new job tonight." Luo Xi lay on the large bed in a room of the villa. For him, moving from the old house here was just a change of location for gaming, no big difference. [Would you like to use the Dream Sync System?] [Yes] [Traveler, welcome to the journey of dreams~] ... Luo Xi closed his eyes briefly. The familiar feeling came from his bodys senses, the feeling of the immaculate Yuan Su interfacing with his body throughout this world. Weier noticed the change in Luo Xis demeanor and looked at him in surprise, "Pervert, youre here? Didnt you say your daily time here was very limited?" "Anyway, theres nothing important going on lately, and stop calling me a pervert!" Luo Xi said irritably, turning his head to look at Aina, who was soundly asleep in the cradle. He walked over and touched it. The cradles glow also repelled him, its master. [Note: Garbage Traveler, disturbing others sleep is not a good behavior~] Shes slept way too long! "Hmm~" At that moment, Aina hummed softly and slowly opened her eyes, her tea gold pupils looking somewhat blankly at Luo Xi. The Little Wolf Girl immediately jumped out of the cradle and rubbed against Luo Xi twice in his embrace. "Brother Luo Xi, we meet again~" Weier watched her sister and Luo Xi with a hint of jealousy. She walked over, pulled Aina into her arms, and asked, Sar?h the N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Aina, what did this pervert do to you? Did he bully you?" "Brother didnt bully Aina. Last night, he took Aina to eat grilled meat and also very tasty cola." Aina exclaimed with shining eyes, "This morning, Brother Luo Xi also gave Aina sticky white yogurt, a long, yellow stick, and tea eggs... But Brother gave too much all at once, and Aina couldnt eat it all." Luo Xi: "ѩn!" Aina, dont talk nonsense! "Oh," Weier nodded, not quite understanding. Before Luo Xi could breathe a sigh of relief, a displeased hum sounded from behind them. Luo Xi turned his head stiffly. Liya, with her arms crossed over her chest, had a slightly blurred face in this synchronized state, but Luo Xi could feel the murderous look in her eyes. [Note: Garbage Traveler, letting you give the Little Wolf Girl yogurt, now youre done for! Caught red-handed by the mother-in-law ~] But thats normal yogurt! .... Liya was strolling inside Winter City. Hill followed beside her and whispered, "Aunt Liya, are you really going to leave?" "I must leave now." Liya looked up at the gray sky and said, "Winter City has been infiltrated by both the Church of Truth and the Disaster Church for three years and has seen such a major event. Although I dont know why there has been no reaction from the Noah Church, its only a matter of time before people from Shining City come. By the time, the Shining Inspection Team that comes once every five years will also be here." "I indirectly acted as the catalyst for your fathers transformation into a disaster, I cant stay here. Hill, the next time you return to Winter City, I hope you can make it into a vibrant, brand-new city." "Yeah!" "Also, I have a favor to ask of you." Hill said, "Aunt Liya, I know, to be nicer to the Mutant Patients on Grey Stone Street, right?" Liya sighed softly, "Yes... Just handle it the way you see fit, and dont implicate yourself." Hill smiled and said, "Ill do my best! After all, I really like those friends of mine too!" Afterward, Liya said goodbye to a few old friends. Its already the afternoon, Aina must have woken up by now, right? She had to go back and check. That young man named Luo Xi probably wouldnt do anything improper to Aina, but she also wanted to hear about that world from her daughters perspective. Liya used a Skill of rune transportation to immediately return to her home on Grey Stone Street. And then, she heard it. "This morning, Brother Luo Xi also gave Aina sticky white yogurt... Brother gave so much that Aina couldnt eat it all at once." Liya: "?" Chapter 241 - 193 Liya: The kid who bends my cabbage, come here and get beated! (Step on!)_1 Chapter 241: Chapter 193 Liya: The kid who bends my cabbage, come here and get beated! (Step on!)_1Liya, as someone who had been around the block, was quite sensitive to these kinds of things. In the morning, it was sticky, white, bars... there was just too much to eat all at once. Combining all these factors, Liya immediately thought of something very unpleasant. This bastard couldnt have really done something indescribable to Aina, could he? Where was his noble and sincere spirit? Had she been blind once again? Liya thought back to his words, "My heart and actions are as clear as a mirror, all that I do is righteous." Could it be that even the latter part of this phrase was what he considered the truth? Whatever he wanted to do was righteous to him, whether it was saving people in Winter City or the terrible things he did to his own daughter... [Ding! Liyas Alertness Value towards you +44] Liya narrowed her eyes at the trembling Luo Xi in front of her and coldly huffed, "How could you dare? Weier is one thing, but Aina is so young, how could you bring yourself to do it?" [Note: Whats going on! Because the Damn Traveler he just likes the little ones~] Weier: "?" Meow meow meow? What does she mean by Im one thing? Mother, Im your biological daughter, arent I? (ߣ)! Under Liyas icy stare, Luo Xi moved his lips but found he had nothing to say. Explain? The situation being as it was, any explanation from him would definitely have the opposite effect, with his prospective mother-in-law already angry. [Note: In my life, I, Luo Xi, need not explain myself to anyone! - If I did it, I did it, Damn Traveler, bravely confess!] Fxxk! If I had really done it, that would be one thing, but I didnt do anything, whats there to confess to! Truth be told, not only Liya, but even Luo Xi himself would have misconstrued the situation based on Ainas words, feeling as though he had done something terrible. At that moment, Ainas voice, as angelic as it was, rang out. "Mom, Brother Luo Xi didnt do anything to Aina, he just stroked Ainas tail very hard, and those things I mentioned were just food, werent they?" Liya turned her head toward her younger daughter cradled in Weiers arms. Aina tilted her head and said with a ??? look, "Brother Luo Xi is really nice to Aina, he took me to eat lots of stuff and visit many fun places today, especially last nights barbecue and cola, and yogurt too, these three things were the tastiest! Sister Weier, next time if you go to brothers place, you can also ask Brother Luo Xi to prepare cola and yogurt for you." Weier just nodded blankly. Other than the grilled meat, she had no idea what the other foods Aina mentioned were. Liya: "..." She could see her daughter wasnt trying to cover up for Luo Xi. So, these were really just food? Luo Xi looked at Liya, somewhat aggrieved, and said, "Lady Liya, you heard her, I really didnt do anything." Liya: "..." Dont think I didnt hear it just because you corrected yourself midway! Liya could tell that this guy had intentions for both her daughters, having called her prospective mother-in-law numerous times already. She wondered how the relationship between her two daughters and this man would turn out the next time she returned from her family... Sarch* The n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Note: No need to wonder, theyre definitely both pregnant!] Luo Xi looked at the Damn Text that had suddenly appeared, completely dumbfounded. Had the Damn Text gone mad? He ventured, "Lady Liya, if you should come to my place next time, I can also treat you to grilled meat, yogurt, and deep-fried dough sticks with corn on the cob. Rest assured, I wouldnt be so disdainful." Of course, this was just a polite gesture from Luo Xi. If Liya were actually to come to reality, that would be very entertaining indeed. [Note: Damn Traveler, if that day really comes, why not treat prospective mother-in-law to your "whats that" instead?] Whats "whats that"? Damn Text, why dont you make it clear! "Oh?" Liya smiled faintly, with several p symbols appearing on her forehead, much like an agitated cat. "Young man, come here!" She beckoned Luo Xi with a hooked finger. Luo Xi approached with some confusion. The misunderstanding had been cleared, what was the prospective mother-in-law up to now? [Ding! Liyas Anger Value towards you +88] Luo Xi: ! Danger! Instantly, he felt his whole body lift and fall toward the sofa, then a blue mages staff appeared and struck him right on the forehead, plunging his consciousness into a sudden halt. Weier watched as her mother disciplined Luo Xi, the pervert, and covered Ainas eyes within her arms, a slight smile creeping onto her lips. Thats just like Mom, time to give this pervert a little lesson. Up until a long leg slammed down on Luo Xis head. Weier watched Luo Xi being stepped on the sofa by her mothers foot, looking miserable o(xnx)o, and her smile gradually ceased. Mom, please stop, didnt you say you were rewarding him? [Ding! Liyas Dissatisfaction Value towards you -100] Liya slowly lowered her leg and took a deep breath. At last, he had vented all the dissatisfaction he had been harboring over the past two days about this boy who had stealthily eaten his familys two prized water spirit cabbages. Well, it was about time to leave. Liya snapped her fingers, waking up the unconscious Luo Xi. "Do you have anyone youd like to say goodbye to? Today is the last day. Tomorrow we set off. Mom will take you along the way to the seaside border of the Da Yan Empire. Theres a small town there thats relatively friendly to Mutant Patients..." "Hmm?" Liya suddenly lifted her eyes, narrowed them, and looked out the window, her gaze extending into the distance. The trio, Luo Xi, stared at her, confused. What happened? After a moment, Liya said gravely to Weier, "Sorry, sweetheart, Mom might have to break her promise again. I cant accompany you this time. You all will set out soon. Mom will take you to the Snow Field seven kilometers away. After you travel two thousand kilometers west from there, bypass the Confused Mountain Range on the edge of the west and head towards the Da Yan Empire." Weier and Aina were stunned. Weier anxiously asked, "Mom, why?" "Ouch...huh?" Luo Xi, rubbing the spot on his head where Liya had stepped on him, was taken aback by her words as well. Why had Liya changed her mind again? [Note: Remember, the mother-in-law is also a woman; women are always fickle~ Damn Traveler, quickly take her down like Cao Zei!] Damn Text, disappear! Hum A sound echoed through the air, and a ring of ice-blue runes materialized in the living room. Hill stepped out from the halo, his expression equally grave as he looked in the same direction, saying: "With such an unrestrained aura, Aunt Liya, are those people from the Shining Patrol Team?" "Yes, theyre signaling us to come out to meet them, and its very suspicious. In Hiss... after your father... fell yesterday, theyre already here today." Liya narrowed her eyes and said, "Such a coincidence, who would believe it? I left thousands of staves produced by the automatic equipment at the Mansion of the City Lord, and the hidden messages inside shouldve been discovered by others, intentionally or unintentionally. Since the Shining Country has not reacted, someone must have intercepted them." Hill gently asked, "The Disaster Church? Has the branch of the Noah Church in Winter City been thoroughly infiltrated?" "Possibly." "Are they targeting me?" "Not sure; they might be here to investigate the reasons for your fathers unsuccessful Tier advancement. Just pretend you know nothing, even if people from the Disaster Church are among them, they wont dare to attack you openly, the current City Owner. Even within Winter City, they are no match for you now." "Alright." Weier gently hugged Aina, the two girls looking uneasily at their mother and Hill as they exchanged words. They had finally seen their mother again after such difficulty and thought they had a few more days together, but now they had to part so hastily. Moreover, it seemed like their mother was about to do something very dangerous again. "Weier, Aina, listen to me." Liya bent down, parted their hair, and gently kissed each daughter on the forehead, saying softly: "Weier, you must set off immediately. Dont worry that Mom wont be able to find you, youre my daughters. Weier, you and I have the most fundamental blood connection. Mom will definitely find you." "However, once you get to the Da Yan Empire, dont go too far south. Blood relations... heh." Liya then turned to Luo Xi on the sofa, her voice cold, "Kid, I have something to tell you. Listen carefully." Luo Xi stood up at once: "Yes!" [Note: Very spirited!] Liya: "..." Why is he yelling so loudly? "I wanted to help you strengthen that Rune Power Armor of yours, but its Rune construction, under the coordination of the armors soul, has already developed its own set of rules. With my current Rune Skill level, Im unable to modify it at will. However, it should have a logic of self-upgrade and enhancement. If you find enough Mithril and precious metals, you might be able to strengthen it." Liya then tossed over three boxes and a large map; on the map lay a compass-like device: "This is a basic map of the locations of the great nations cities across the Pan Continent, excluding the western side of the Confused Mountain Range. Heres a compass made by Alchemists. Take it and use your storage ability to place it comfortably." "In these three boxes, the first contains Rune-made scrolls for wilderness survival, the second has ten Tier Four offensive Skill scrolls. I didnt have time to make too many, but their Quality is very high. Unlike those scrolls with only one-fifth the power of a normal Tier Four Skill, these can reach about half of that power. The third box is filled with healing and defense scrolls for decursing and protection. Manage them on your own." "Also, until you are absolutely certain, do not try the path of Sublimation. The chasm barrier between Mutation and Sublimation... This time, I still havent found the possible existence of a door between them." Liyas deep Zi eyes stared at Luo Xi, "Also, be good to them, or you know the consequences. Dont underestimate real powerhouses. Maybe today you will see what real Tier Four Lords... even those close to the Kings realm, are capable of in battle." Luo Xi was slightly stunned. The next moment, the world seemed to spin around him. "Mommy!" Weier and Aina plunged into Liyas arms, wrapped in white runes, and disappeared into her embrace. After the three of them vanished, Hill looked at Liya, puzzled, "Aunt Liya, why didnt you take them with you directly?" "Hill." Liya ruffled the little boys hair, "Youre very scared now, arent you?" After a long silence, Hill slowly nodded. Liya chuckled, "If I just left like this, allowing a young child to bear such a burden on his own, wouldnt I be even worse than that despicable guy?" ... Snap! The Rune circle opened a few meters high in the air, and Luo Xi fell straight from it, plunging head-first into a snowdrift. Pulling his head out, he coughed violently several times from the snow hed ingested. He turned his head and saw that Weier and Aina were sitting dumbfounded in the snow. In the distance, Winter Citys outline had already become very faint. Had they left Winter City? [Note: Hooray! The tale of the Damn Travelers Lolita abduction and the start of a grand harem thwarted by a kitchen knife begins today!] Chapter 242 - 194 Did the mother-in-law leave? It’s time to pet the Beast Eared Girl as you like~_1 Chapter 242: Chapter 194 Did the mother-in-law leave? Its time to pet the Beast Eared Girl as you like~_1"Mom..." Weier sat blankly in the snow. Aina sat beside her, holding on to her sisters arm with both hands. Luo Xi walked gently to the two girls. From the conversations with Hill and Liya, he knew that something was about to happen in Winter City, and someone from the Shining Country was coming. Thats why Liya hurriedly threw them out here. "We cant just stay here!" Weier suddenly stood up, pushed Aina into Luo Xis arms, and tried to run back toward Winter City, but after only two steps, runes lit up on her body, causing her to stumble backward and fall. Luo Xi, caught off guard, was hit by the stumbling Cat Cat, and along with Aina, who had just been thrust into his arms, all three rolled back into a snowdrift. Thick snow from uphill tumbled down, burying them. A few seconds later, Luo Xi surfaced from the snowdrift with a Beast Eared Girl in each hand, shaking the snow off his head. Over the grey sky, a dark cloud drifted by, allowing a streak of golden sunlight to fall right on their heads. "Cough cough." Cat Cat spat out the snow in her mouth and said sadly, "It seems Mom doesnt want me to go back." "Pfft" Aina also spat out the snow from her mouth, tugged on Luo Xis collar, and looked at him with her tea-golden eyes, "Brother Luo Xi, can we wait for Mom later?" Weier looked at Luo Xi as well. "As long as you two decide, its fine," said Luo Xi. He turned to look at the items Liya had given them in the snow. Luo Xi had a feeling that even if Liya resolved the issue at Winter City, she probably wouldnt come their way. Otherwise, there was no need to give them so much all at once. [Note: Isnt it a good thing for you, crappy Traveler? The bothersome mother-in-law is gone, and you can play with the two Beast Eared Lolitas in 108 different ways to your hearts content~] The Damn Text detailed those 108 methods of play... cough. Luo Xi discarded the stray thoughts and fell silent. Weier and Aina had only spent one day with their mother. For a mother and daughters who hadnt seen each other in three years, how could that time possibly be enough? Ten minutes later. Luo Xi sorted out the items Liya had given them in the snowfield. One had to admit, the mother-in-law was quite generous. Apart from ten attack-type scrolls, each of blue, rare quality, there were two boxes filled with scrolls, a hundred in total, and three scrolls that read Do not activate unless absolutely necessary. Probably something very powerful. Luo Xi glanced at the text prompt. [Remaining sync time: 5 minutes] Luo Xi sighed softly. The normal 30-minute synchronization was about to end. Once the time was up, he could only go back and observe the situation from behind the text. Luo Xi walked over to the sisters who were still looking in the direction of Winter City and squatted down, taking out a slice of meat from the Dreamland knapsack. "Want something to eat?" "I dont want to eat." Weier shook her head. "Aina is feeling a bit hungry," Aina said without looking back. "Could Brother Luo Xi feed me?" sea??h th n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Sure." Luo Xi placed the meat slice next to Ainas little mouth. The Little Wolf Girl bit Luo Xis two fingers, then bit off the meat slice. When Luo Xi pulled away his fingers, they were covered in Ainas saliva. [Note: Lewd Traveler, youve mastered one of the methods without a teacher~] Luo Xi glanced annoyedly at the Damn Text and wiped his fingers on the nearby snow. Weier glanced out of the corner of her eye. Even at such a time, this pervert still has to act so intimate with her sister in front of her. Cat Cat was very unhappy. (ب#). And why did you have to wipe your fingers on the snow so quickly? Are you repulsed by Aina? Disgusted with my sister?! [Ding! Weiers anger value toward you +88] "Pervert, give it here!" Weier snatched the meat from Luo Xis hand, shoved it into her mouth, and chewed furiously, as if biting Luo Xi, the bastard, to death. Yet Luo Xi saw the redness in the girls eyes. She was just using this to cover up her sorrow. Boom! Suddenly, a thunderous roar echoed, rapidly transmitting from the distant sky, resonating across the Snow Field, and causing Weiers face to turn red as she seemed to have bitten her tongue. Luo Xi stood up abruptly. What was that? There was a dazzling golden light in the direction of the north part of Winter City. An extremely arrogant male voice declared, "Come out! Of the vast Winter City, are you the sole Tier Four responsible for the chaos? I am the Red-robed Bishop from the Church of Noah in the Shining City, Yiliels. By the name of the Eternal World Tree Noah, I deliver judgment unto you, criminal. Do you accept the judgment?!" "What idiot has come forth? Cant find the main culprit and scared? Want to condemn me right from the start? Are you looking for a scapegoat? I suggest you go back and check for moles within your own ranks first! At this rate, if the Shining Country is overtaken by heretical groups like the Church of Truth and Disaster Church, other nations across the Pan Continent will be laughing their heads off!" Luo Xi felt a small object enter his hand. It was Weier holding his hand tightly. Cat Cat tremblingly said, "Thats Moms voice!" Through the warmth passing from her palm, Luo Xi could feel the girls wavering and insecurity. "Sister Weier, its going to be okay," Aina took Weiers other hand and smiled, "Aina thought three years ago that Mom would come back sooner or later, and here she is, isnt she? Itll be fine this time too, Mom will come to find us soon." Luo Xi: "..." If it werent Brother Luo Xi considering the mascot Little Wolf Girl the one to jinx it, Luo Xi would have thought Liya might just keel over the next second. "How dare you!" The man seemed angry. A clearly visible golden tide of fury and countless white runes unfolded instantly in the sky to the north of Winter City, blinding Luo Xi for a moment. Although they were at least seven or eight kilometers away, the mountain-shattering boom still reached them several dozen seconds later, carried by the air. Boom! The snow mountains behind them vibrated wildly, avalanches happening swath by swath. The opposing air currents completely tore apart the clouds above, and bright sunlight poured into Winter City, bringing long-missed warmth to the people who had endured the painful winter. The mans voice rose again, but with considerable astonishment: "A Tier Four Skill Practioner with Grandmaster-level Rune Skills? Just who are you? Are you really the cause behind the issues in Winter City?" "So youre not clear either, you just came up here looking to slap a label on me and take me down, right? Then just assume I did it, too bad though, you lot of good-for-nothings arrived too quickly, (quietly saying I didnt even have enough time to spend with them~)" "What did you say?" In response to the man, a Rune Giant Hand quickly gathered and expanded, and the golden light was deflected due to the flickering of the runes, distorting everything in the vicinity. At the same time, the Rune Giant Hand tore through the light ahead, harshly smashing the ball of golden air downwards, and within seconds, triggering a violent hurricane that once again swept over Luo Xis location several kilometers away. The Winter Divine Tree suddenly shone brightly, its outer golden glow rebuffed the external attack. Luo Xi pulled Weier and Aina tightly into his arms, watching the distant spectacle with a twitch in his eye. damn, this display of power was so intense it was off the charts, if Rat King Nos had half, no, one tenth of this power within Winter City, there would be no play left for him, hed just have to follow Cat Cats orders and run away with Aina. [Note: Garbage Traveler, do you realize how insignificant you are compared to the girth of your mother-in-laws leg? The gains from schmoozing up to someones daughters pale in comparison to those from being a Cao Zei~] Afterward, no more sounds of battle arose, and peace gradually returned to the sky, calming Weier down as well. Did Mom win? Will she come then? [This synchronization session ends here, welcome to join again next time~] Luo Xis consciousness withdrew from the Dream world. He kept his attention on the Damn Text afterward. However, even as the afternoon descended into dusk and they stayed in the snow field until nearly dark, Liya did not come their way. The mother-in-law, shes really gone? ... Inside Winter City. Hill gazed at the distraught, golden-haired, red-robed man entering through the north city gate, followed by a group of golden-armored knight guards. The man shouted displeased at Hill, "Brat, as the current City Owner of this city, why didnt you come to help?" "Oh, greetings to the Red-robed Bishop and the Inspector, sir." Hill tilted his head in confusion, "Im still young, I dont know anything about fighting, and werent you on an inspection? Then please proceed, Ive already opened some rights of the Divine Tree to you." The man almost spat blood. Your Im still young and know nothing act. The Divine Tree would also pass on part of its memories during the succession, unless its caretaker was an infant with an undeveloped brain, anyone would know the powers they control. The man darkly said, "Do you know who she is? Why is she with you; did you also betray...". "Is this the Church of Truth?!" Hills gaze suddenly sharpened, ice-blue light flickering in his eyes, "Youve already condemned her as a criminal without any distinction! Is everyone in the Church of Truth like this? Or are you the one with malicious intentions? Righteous Bishop, I somehow feel the power you used just now lacks the pure taste of Light and Judgement." "You! Cheeky brat! I think since shes the only Tier Four in the entire city, shes likely a harbinger of Disaster... Ill add her to Shining Countrys wanted list right away!" The man directed his anger at the few people beside him, "What are you staring at? Move, lets go inspect the Divine Tree!" Below the Winter Divine Tree. The inspection team came and thoroughly checked all around, finding no traces of the Disaster mentioned in the reports. There were indeed precursors of a snow disaster at the site. The Divine Tree was as pure as if it had just changed hands. But that child had reportedly become its master three years ago. A shade passed through someones eyes. Where are the precious materials and omens that promote the Snowice Disaster? If Hiss had failed, that was one thing; he had come to try and retrieve the materials. However, those precious materials were no longer here. Were they taken by Hisss son, or by that woman? If it was the former, that child could not resist the temptation and would eventually become another Snowice Disaster. He just needed to wait. The latter... That damn woman! .... Liya stood on a nearby hilltop, looking towards the small snow pile that lit up with a campfire as darkness fell. She whispered softly, "See you next time, Weier, Aina; I hope your journey will be pleasant. Mom also wanted to travel the world when she was young." .... [Traveler, you sense a gaze watching you from the darkness] [When you look back, the feeling vanishes] [Is it Liya?] [Note: Right you are, Garbage Traveler, thats the mother-in-law!] Luo Xi felt drowsy, but flicking through the Damn Text revved up his spirits. Is she coming? [Note: Shes gone~ Garbage Traveler, now you can freely make your move on Cat Cat and Cute Wolf~] Chapter 243 - 195: All the Cat, Wolf, Little Lolita, Be the Sea King! Collect adorable girls! _1 Chapter 243: Chapter 195: All the Cat, Wolf, Little Lolita, Be the Sea King! Collect adorable girls! _1Belgri Town. This is a large town lying two hundred kilometers in a straight line from Winter City, with a population of nearly 30,000. The towns economy draws primarily from the breeding of a zero-tier Origin Beast known as the Snowworm. The towns mayor, who is also the lord of this land, is known as a man of great breadth and kindness. He offers protection from the Divine Tree to any Variants or ordinary people, provided they pay a certain price. The hundred-meter-tall Divine Tree of Belgri Town is capable of fending off the attacks of two lord-tier Origin Beasts. This certain price involves the mandatory rearing of Snowworms; naturally, Variants must rear many more of them each year compared to ordinary people. Sarch* The N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Each year, the lord would distribute Snowworm eggs amongst the townsfolk. Once matured a year later, the lord would collect the fully grown Snowworms, provide some compensation, and then grant the townsfolk their next years batch of eggs. Thus, a complete Snowworm industry was born within this large town. After the sunset, the colossal tree, just over a hundred meters tall, cast golden radiance, blessing the people who lived beneath it. An elderly man with age spots all over his face, under the curious gaze of the townspeople, made his way to the center of town, towards the lords manor by the side of the Divine Tree. Suddenly turning his head, the old man cast a strange smile at the gaunt locals, scaring some into quickly shutting their doors and hiding in their homes. After a long walk, the old man looked up; he saw a middle-aged man waiting outside the manors gate, with the elderly butler holding an umbrella for him. The middle-aged man took two steps forward and smiled at the old man, saying, "Mr. Kels, the most sumptuous banquet has been prepared for you. Thank you for agreeing to be the alchemy mentor to my child." "Lord Sir, you are too kind, and it is my honor," the old man said with an unhurried nod. Before entering the manor, he looked back down the road he came by, gazing in the direction of that distant city. You thought you were so great, you rotten rat, but in the end, you still failed. It seems the only person I can trust is indeed just myself. ... [Traveler, after sunset, you, Cat Cat, and Aina found a cave to stay in. Whether Liya returns or not, you wont be setting out tonight.] [You started a bonfire in the cave, boiled some water for tea, and feeling bored, you took out that grand map to peruse.] ["Brother Luo Xis body is still so warm~"] [Aina placed her hands on you to get some warmth. With the constant working of the Furnace Core, you were releasing a substantial amount of heat. Weier, dropping her pride for the moment, moved closer to you in the cave to conserve the scrolls used for heating.] [Note: Damn Traveler, you finally became the destined heating stone of fate~] Who the hell became a heating stone! But this Cat Cat still cant let go of her prideful nature, huh? Her hand can already occasionally be held. When will she be as tame and cute as Aina... Luo Xi thought about a tame and cute Cat Cat. Well... better not. That wouldnt be the real Cat Cat anymore. [Outside, the sky has darkened, and Weier stared blankly at the entrance of the snow cave, yet her mother still didnt come. It would only take a runic teleportation spell if her mother really wanted to visit.] [Traveler, after some examination, you have gained a basic understanding of Liyas map.] [The shape of the Pan Continent is somewhat reminiscent of the Afurika Continent from your world.] Luo Xis eyebrows rose. Describing a map through text is too abstract. [Traveler, you place the map back into your bag.] [Would you like to take out Liyas Map?] [Yes] After a flash of white light, the map appeared in Luo Xis hands. [Weier turned to you, and asked softly, "Pervert, you must have returned by now, right?"] [Traveler, you hesitate for a moment, then nod in agreement.] [Weiers expression became even more despondent in an instant.] ["Then go do your own thing. Theres nothing important here anyway."] [She hugged Aina close, saying, "Aina, can you tell me more about your experiences with this pervert?"]] [Traveler, youre thinking, ask me as well, since it was you who took Aina out to play~] [Note: Damn Traveler, are you planning on confessing your criminal actions towards her younger sister to the Cat Lady?]] A confession, my ass! Patting tails and ears doesnt qualify as a crime! Luo Xi looked down at Liyas map. The durable tan paper depicted the shape of the continent, which indeed bore a resemblance to the Afurika Continent. The Shining Country was at the northernmost part of the continent, with the Eternal World Tree Noah at its capital, though it had the smallest land area and was mostly at a high altitude. To the west, a long black mountain range separated the Shining Country from the nations to the west, which were only depicted in green with the word Emerald. To the south lay the Da Yan Empire, home to the Eternal World TreeTide Flame. Further down was the Country of Dawn, with its own Eternal Tree marked as Dawn. Lastly, there was a country called Tiangong Country with an unusually named Divine Tree, Yusu. On the Pan Continent, there were a total of five major nations. Thanks to the rules of the Eternal World Trees and their root networks, this vast land had not fragmented into multiple nations. Based on the maps scale, it might even be larger than the actual Afurika Continent. Luo Xi put down the map. Ring Just then, the cellphone rang. He glanced at the caller ID, it was Chu Tian. After answering and switching to speakerphone, the other party immediately shouted carelessly, "Brother Luo, are you and Cat Lady and her mom around? I couldnt find you guys today. This afternoon, outside Winter City, some big shot started a fight and the special effects were really cool. Did you see it?" "Weve already left Winter City." "Ah? Damn, you start a party and dont invite me, where are you now? ...Never mind, Ill stay here for now and completely conquer the bunny-eared lady. By the way, Hill also promised to give me some Sublimation materials and an Omen for the journey through Winter City. I just dont know if I should choose to be a Skill Practioner, Warrior, or Knight." "I suggest you consider the Cao Zei profession." "What?" Knock knockthere was another knock at the door. "Ive got something else to deal with, going to hang up now." Luo Xi hung up on Chu Tians call, left the room on the first floor, and went to open the villa door. "Ta-da! Senior! Im here!" Ai Xue, who had become slightly smaller, popped out from behind the door, holding a suitcase and carrying a big backpack. Luo Xi looked behind and saw no one else. Who had brought Ai Xue over? At night, Ai Xue looked much better than she did during the dayhad she received a boost from her attribute talents? Ai Xue naturally brought her suitcase up the steps and into the house, while admiring, "Seniors new house is so big, and the decoration is even better than my place. It does look empty though; it needs someone to bring it to life." Luo Xi: "..." This junior was just short of outright saying "I want to live here." Luo Xi said, "Just pick any room you like, I havent even been to the ones upstairs yet." This villa had three floors and six bedrooms, so giving one to Ai Xue wasnt a big issue. Luo Xi didnt mind having a cute girl living in his house; its just that Ai Xues craving for his body was something he had to be careful about. "Yay!" Ai Xue immediately carried her suitcase upstairs, running up the steps as if afraid Luo Xi might change his mind. [Note: Crappy Traveler, what are you being coy for? Youve got money and strength, shouldnt you be starting a harem and collecting Lolitas?] God damn text, why is it collecting Lolitas instead of beauties?! Dont mess up the words! [Note: So Traveler, dont you like it? Are you going to send her away?] "..." Luo Xi watched Ai Xues figure disappear around the corner of the staircase. Right now, he was somewhat confused. Thinking hard, did he like Ai Xue? Initially, not really, even found her somewhat annoying, which is why he had blocked her in the game in the first place. But Ai Xue was indeed very good to him. She had been chasing him for two years, confessed for the seventh time last night, spent a months salary in advance, even said it was fine not to show up at work, and even wanted to go to a hotel with him... If the genders were reversed, Ai Xue could have been described as a devoted "licking dog" head-over-heels. Who, aside from those not interested in the opposite sex, wouldnt develop a fondness for a girl like that? Ordinary people can only dream of such a girlfriend in real life, where dreams can have everything. If the Dream World was just a make-believe game, he probably would end up choosing Ai Xue eventually. But... he found out that he really liked Cat Cat too. He genuinely liked her, not just for petting her tail and ears. Just as he was unaware of when Ai Xue developed feelings for him, Luo Xi also didnt know when he started feeling something for Weier. There was some quality about that girl that attracted him. Relationships between people are always curious. When someone attracts you, something about you is probably attracting them too. [Note: Simple, take them all!] Wouldnt that be like a scumbag playing multiple women at the same time? [Note: So, Traveler, between Cat Cat and Cute Wolf, which one will you choose?] Luo Xi hesitated for a moment. Of course... I want them all! Aina may still be young, but shell grow up eventuallyhow could he give up on such a cute Little Wolf Girl! [Note: Seize the day! So, whats the difference between taking two or three?] Hiss... Luo Xi pondered thoughtfully. The Damn Text seemed to make a compelling argument. [Ding! Youve gained +50 Enlightenment Value] [Note: So, Crappy Traveler, how will you act to avoid hurting these girls hearts?] I want to be a King! I want them all! [Note: Such a teachable Luo Xi suddenly felt that something was not right. He () glared at the Damn Text. "Damn Text, youre tricking me too much!" Chapter 244 - 196 Aina: Brother has already slept with Aina~_1 Chapter 244: Chapter 196 Aina: Brother has already slept with Aina~_1"Senior, I chose the bedroom on the second floor with the floor-to-ceiling window, is that okay?... Huh, Senior, who are you talking to?" Ai Xue walked down from the stairs with some confusion, looking towards Luo Xi at the door. Luo Xi looked infuriated, as if while walking down the street, someone suddenly snatched away the Little Lolita by his side. "Its nothing, I was just cussing out some junk." Luo Xi glanced at Ai Xue somewhat guiltily. From the beginning, Ai Xues intentions in approaching him were clear, she liked him and wanted to be with him, even going so far as to suggest they go to a hotel when her body shrank. Of course, Luo Xi wasnt interested. sea??h th ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Luo Xi really wanted to know, if Ai Xue ever found out about his scumbag thoughts, would this junior label him as a playboy and then run out the door crying? [Note: You lousy Traveler, why not eat and wipe your mouth clean first? Even if the little junior couldnt accept it, she would have no choice but to obey you then~] That would be the mark of a true Scumbag! The headless Brother Cheng floating in the sky seemed to be very familiar with this move. Anyway, Luo Xi didnt want to keep her hanging. He really didnt want to end up being chopped with a cleaver later on. Luo Xi took a deep breath and said, "Ai Xue." "Yes?" Ai Xue hopped down from the stairs and came to Luo Xis side, her tea gold eyes with a hint of Love looking at him, "Is there anything else you want to tell me, Senior? Oh! I almost forgot! The old man from last night invited us over for dinner... What did you want to say to me, Senior?" Luo Xi fell silent for a moment, then said, "Ive fallen for someone, and this time its serious." "Ah..." Ai Xue stood frozen in place, her fists clenched tight. After a while, she lowered her head and said, "Is it someone from the Dream world?" "Yes." "Is it the Wolf Eared Little Lolita?" "...Yes, and no. I do quite like Aina, but its just a simple liking, sometimes I just play with her tail and ears." [Note: Just a simple liking? If only Cute Wolf was old enough, you despicable Traveler wouldve already called her mother-in-law and proposed marriage~ That wouldve been Cat Cats total defeat~] () Damn Text, shut up! "Just playing with her tail and ears... Yeah, right." Ai Xue murmured, then raised her head with red eyes and pursed lips, "Senior, youre really cruel, you know. Dont you think that just because there are no cops in the Dream world, no one will take care of you?" Luo Xi had no response. [Note: Other than mother-in-law, indeed no one can deal with you~] "So who is it?" "Its... her sister." "How old is she?" "16, which converts to 18 in reality." "Isnt there anyone else?" "For now... theres no one else." Ai Xue took a step back and sat down on the sofa in the living room, her eyelids drooping down. Bad news, the Senior already has someone he likes. Good news, the one Senior likes is only in the game. Bad news, the person in the game is real, not a virtual character. Ai Xue suddenly really wanted to cry. Three months ago, she was blocked by Senior because of the game, and three months later, still because of the game, she was about to become a complete loser in love. Even touching on Seniors sexual inclination now would be too late, wouldnt it? If only she could have gotten into this game earlier and obtained this talent... Ai Xue asked softly, "Is she also a Lolita by any chance?" Luo Xi: "?" Your focus is a bit off, isnt it, girl? "Pretty much..." [Note: You despicable Traveler, dont respond with so little confidence, you should energetically speak out!] () Scram! Ai Xue said with a bitter smile, "I knew it, Senior is indeed an incurable Loli-con. No wonder you keep rejecting me time and again. So I have no chance, do I?" Thats slander! Thats pure slander! But Luo Xi just stayed silent. He couldnt spout any Scumbag lines like I want them all in front of this junior. After all, Ai Xue was not Aina. The profound relationship between Aina and her sister Weier meant they were almost inseparable. Luo Xi guessed that even if he told Cat Cat I want them all, she would probably just hit him a few times and call him a pervert. [Note: So you, despicable Traveler, reaped the benefits~] Hmph. Ai Xue looked up, with tears in her eyes, "But, I really like you, Senior. I dont want to give up for this reason and lose to another worlds person. I cant accept that!" "Well said!" An old yet vigorous voice rang out from the entrance. Luo Xi turned around abruptly and saw Master Jiujian standing at the door with a fishing rod, smiling at them. "Sorry, you were talking with the door open, and I heard it all from outside the gate." Master Jiujian stroked his beard and laughed, "Youth is about pursuing without regrets, even if what we might get in the end is only disappointment. So, young lady, do what you want to do!" Luo Xi suddenly wanted to stuff the old man into a toilet. What are you fanning the flames for?! No one but he could see the incendiary Damn Text, but this old man was blatantly fanning the flames. Ai Xues eyes suddenly lit up. Thats right, no matter what, I was the first person to meet Senior, so I have some advantage. And besides, Senior, this Loli-con, whether he denies it or not, must definitely have thoughts about both the Wolf Eared Lolita and her sister. If I really cant win Senior back, then why not add myself to the mix? If I cant beat them, join them! Of course, this was the last resort. Who doesnt want to monopolize the person they like? Ai Xue bowed to Master Jiujian and said, "Yes, I understand! Thank you, Grandpa!" Hmm? Luo Xi was startled. What do you understand?! Ai Xue approached Luo Xi again, took his hand in hers, and smiled, completely shedding her earlier despondency: "Also, Senior, Ill still be looking forward to your guidance in the future." Luo Xi nodded in a daze and said okay. Can women really change this fast? What on earth has happened to Ai Xues state of mind in such a short time? [Note: Junk Traveler, your Lolita harem is steadily growing, but be careful, oh, youve also moved a step closer to the path of the hatchet~] ??? Master Jiujian asked with a smile, "So, would you like to join us for a meal? Weve prepared a feast to welcome you, and there are many people who would like to get to know the new counsel... " "No." Luo Xi shook his head. Who knows how many people are aware of that bizarre title of his; there are only around a hundred thousand Dreamland Travelers in the whole world, and last night, 2,000 people learned of it, what about tonight? He didnt want to be stared at by a bunch of inexplicable gazes. The original agreement was just to have a nominal position, no need for useless socializing. It would be better to spend the time studying that map and planning the next course of action. Master Jiujian: "..." He let out a wry smile and said, "Alright, then, friend, can we send a meal over to you? Its almost dinner time, and you have to eat." Luo Xi nodded: "Then I would appreciate that." The old man sighed and turned to leave. Suddenly, Luo Xi thought of something and called out, "Master Jiujian, you use a sword as your weapon, right?" The old man turned back, nodded, and said, "Indeed, would you like to see? I failed to assist you yesterday, not even managing to draw my sword, which is quite embarrassing for me." Master Jiujian lifted his hand to the right. In an instant, the old mans aura changed, and from the emptiness behind him, nine gleaming and imposing swords appeared, exuding a chilling aura. "That is why I am called Master Jiujian." Luo Xi thought for a moment and asked, "Can you teach me how to use a sword?" "Ah?" The old man was taken aback, then beamed and said, "Are you sure, young friend? Well... I havent eaten yet, why not have the meal brought over and well have it together? Then we can discuss swordsmanship in detail?" [Ding! Master Jiujians favorability towards you +60] Luo Xi: "... Thats fine." "Senior wants to learn swordsmanship..." Ai Xue immediately fantasized on the side about her white-robed Senior brandishing a longsword, looking as ethereal as the protagonists in period dramas. [Ding! Ai Xues favorability towards you +20] . "This is the tea from the villas kitchen, I checked and the quality seems quite good, Senior and Grandpa should try it." Ai Xue brought a pot of hot water and tea leaves from the kitchen and brewed it for the two in the living room. She felt a little joyful. It was as if she was the hostess here~ Master Jiujian chuckled: "Such a dear girl, friend, why must you be so fixated on people from the Dream World? Its people from reality who can be with you for a lifetime. What if Dawn suddenly disappears one day? Then wouldnt everything youve done there be for naught?" Luo Xis hand, holding the purple clay cup, paused slightly. If "Dawn" suddenly disappeared... What would become of me now? What would happen to Weier and Aina? [Note: Stop worrying about these things and instead soak in the presence of cute beast-eared Lolitas, thats the right path~] Go to hell, Damn Text. Luo Xi glanced at the persistent text in front of his eyes unconsciously. Then he frowned. What the hell? Luo Xi nodded to the old man: "Sorry, I have something to attend to in Dawn, Ill be back in twenty minutes." He used his upgraded talent "Immersion." Then, Luo Xi threw his head back and lay down on the sofa, falling into a deep sleep. Master Jiujian was bewildered. Isnt the Dreamland synchronization module 30 minutes long? Why did he say he would be back in 20 minutes? ..... [Welcome to the journey of dreams~] Luo Xi suddenly opened his eyes and looked ahead, shouting, "Stop, stop, stop! How did you two start fighting?" Weier and Aina were pinching each others faces and pulling on each others tails, both with teary eyes, red and tea gold pupils glaring at each other. Because he hadnt paid close attention to the text, Luo Xi didnt even know what had transpired before this. Even if they couldnt accept the fact that Liya wasnt coming anymore, there was no need to fight, right? They were best friends, werent they? [Note: Actually, theyre just fair-weather sisters~ Beast-eared Loli fight! Yay!] Damn you, entertainment-seeking Text! Weier said to Luo Xi o(*RըQ)o, "Pervert, dont come near! Im going to teach a lesson to this ignorant brat! Just because she went out with you for a while, she started mocking me!" Aina also (n) said, "Brother Luo Xi, lets get married now and toss Sister Weier aside!" Weier angrily said: "He wouldnt dare!" Aina raised her wolf ears, ??? proudly stating, "Aina has something she hasnt told Sister, Brother Luo Xi has even slept with Aina before, on the bed in our house too!" Weier: "???" [Ding! Weiers Anger Value towards you +100] [Note: Scumbag Traveler, it looks like youre in for a chopping today~] Chapter 245 - 197: Let my sister live with this freak! (〃＞皿＜), The Revival of the Hollow Flower _1 Chapter 245: Chapter 197: Let my sister live with this freak! (), The Revival of the Hollow Flower _1Luo Xi, this big pervert! No wonder he kept hemming and hawing instead of sending the bed back home, it turns out he had secretly slept on it already. As for sleeping with Aina and all that... Hanging him out to dry, he wouldnt dare do anything to Aina for real, at most its like what Aina initially said about her tail being thoroughly grabbed until it hurt. But the mere thought that it was their bed, where she and Aina had slept together for three years after their mother left home, and the blankets and sheets hadnt been changed for months, made Weiers face flush with heat. This guy, could he have fallen asleep smelling his own scent on the bed... Seeing Weier freeze up, Aina continued to hum smugly, "Sister, you dont have to be so upset. The bed is full of Ainas and sisters scents. When Brother and Aina slept together, its like we brought sisters share along too." Weier couldnt hold back anymore. "Aina, you big dummy!" Weier put a bit more force into her hand, pulling Ainas face to one side. "Ow!" Aina let out a cry and pulled back on Weiers face, while her other hand continued to grab Weiers tail. [Note: Damn Traveler, do women fighting (crossed out), do animal-eared Lolitas fighting look good to you?] If youre asking me, it indeed looks pretty good. Luo Xi wasnt very keen on separating this pair of plasticky besties anymore. After all, they were only occasionally having a little spat and tussle, which theyd quickly get over soon, and although they were grabbing each others tails as though they were putting in a lot of effort, in reality, they were both very gentle. Otherwise, with Weiers strength, if she really wanted to bully Aina, a single fingertip would be enough. Luo Xi took some dry rations out of his bag and put them on the fire to toast, saying somewhat helplessly, "Alright, stop fighting. Come and eat. If your mom finds out that just after she left, you two already became like this, wouldnt she be angry?" Weiers voice was muffled because her face was being pulled, "Im also very angry! Its all your fault, you pervert, for making Aina turn out like this. She used to love me the most! When she was little, she also used to say that she loved Mom the most after sister!" Aina mumbled unclearly, "Aina still loves sister now too! Of course, Aina also really likes Brother Luo Xi, but now I probably love Brother more than I love sister, right?" "Then you idiot, just go live with this pervert!" Weier (> Their faces were red with finger marks, and their tails behind them were all disheveled, a few strands of brown-black and snow-white fur had fallen on the ground. [Note: Is it halftime break now? Damn Traveler, hurry up and tend to the fire, I still want to watch the animal-eared little Lolita fights, this is hardly satisfying at all~] Damn Text scram! Looking at Cat Cat, Luo Xi smiled and said, "Cat Cat, youre not actually angry, youre just upset, so youre trying to divert your attention in various ways, and Aina is playing along with you pretty well, isnt she, Aina?" Weiers body trembled slightly. "Brother Luo Xi really understands Aina!" Aina rubbed her own little face and turned around with a smile, "Weier sister, are you feeling better now? Aina was also sad when mom left, but as long as people are alive, theres a chance to reunite no matter how far apart they are, so dont worry. If we have to, we can just go look for mom. Maybe we will find her before she even leaves our hometown." Weier remained silent. Mom once said that people are like different birds in the sky; they may cross paths at some point, maybe even fly together for a while, but there will always be a time when they part. Parting doesnt mean theyll never see each other again, just like moms disappearance and return three years ago. Weier hugged Aina again, sobbing softly, "Its Sisters fault for misunderstanding you." "Weier sister is such a good girl~" Aina patted Weiers head, acting like a little grown-up. Luo Xi watched from a distance with a relieved expression. These sisters really do have a deep bond after all. Even though they want to find Liya as soon as possible, that probably wont happen. If they had a target, that would be one thing, but Weier herself doesnt even know where her original family is, and with the Pan Continent being so large, just walking slowly with their own legs, its questionable how far they could get in a year, much less find Liya. [Note: Damn Traveler, youre right, I didnt think of that. We need to solve this problem~] Hm? What kind of problem is Damn Text referring to solving? Aina called out softly, "Brother Luo Xi." Luo Xi looked over in confusion. "Aina believes in reunion as long as one lives~ So if you had really run away last time..." The sparkle in Ainas eyes disappeared, and she tilted her head slightly, "Then Aina would search the entire Pan Continent to bring Brother Luo Xi back~ Dont think about leaving us behind and secretly running away again." Luo Xi: "(((;???;)))!" This little wolf girl is showing an increasingly yandere trend. Scary. Weier suddenly asked, "So, between this pervert and Sister, whom do you like more, Aina?" The little wolf girl planted a kiss on Weiers face. "Of course, its Sister Weier." Weier nodded with satisfaction, hugging Aina and looking at Luo Xi defiantly, as if showing off. See, Aina still likes me better, you newcomer should just step aside. Aina, with her little face all red, said, "But the way Aina likes Brother is the kind that wants to get married~" The touch and pride in Weiers heart instantly dissipated. This sister... definitely cant be kept! "By the way, Sister Weier." Ainas smile became somewhat mysterious: "Theres something else I havent told you, Sister. Over in his world, Brother has cute girls around him too; but then again, it would be strange if Brother Luo Xi wasnt popular with the girls in that world." Weiers gaze suddenly turned sharp, glaring fiercely at Luo Xi. "Whats the meaning of this?! You already have us..." In a flash, Cat Cat felt her words were somewhat off and changed her tune, "Anyway, until Aina grows up, I must keep a good watch over you." Luo Xi: "...." Cat Cat is as tsundere as ever. There are still 10 minutes left in this synchronization time. But having watched such a display of sisterly affection, it feels pretty good. Luo Xi took out the large map that Liya had given him from his pack and spread it on the floor of the cave, saying, "Lets discuss where were going tomorrow. The people from Winter City might still be there, its probably not a good idea to go back now." Weier leaned over to take a look, the sweet floral scent from the girl invigorated Luo Xi, and then Aina also came to his other side, rubbing her arm against his shoulder and said with a cute smile: "Brother Luo Xi, who do you like more then, Aina or Sister Weier?" The cat ears on Weiers head twitched. Luo Xi: "!" [Note: See here, this traveler hugged left and right is a perverted lolicon, but now he faces a deadly question~] Damn text, shut up! Luo Xi coughed and changed the subject, "This should be our current location." He pointed to a small dot on the map representing Winter City on the west side, and then his finger slowly moved to the huge mountain range that spanned the entire northern part of the Pan Continent. "This is our rough route from here on." Weier nodded and said, "Mom seems to have told us to keep heading west until we reach the Confused Mountain Range, and then head south, right? Thats at least two thousand kilometers away. Let me see, there are three big cities along the way, and many small towns and villages, so we should have enough supply points." Luo Xi pinched his chin, scrutinized the map carefully. Actually, the map didnt have many marks except for towns; what also caught his attention were some vacant red circles, in the note on the bottom right corner of the map, these circles were labeled: Hollow Flowers. Luo Xi pointed at the markings, asking somewhat puzzled, "What are these?" Weier glanced over and explained, "These are Hollow Flowers. This map from mom must be very old; current maps have already removed these Hollow Flower markings." [Item recorded: Hollow Flowers] "According to the library records, these Hollow Flowers appear like man-eating plants that grow on the ground with their large mouths open, edges filled with sharp teeth, and their insides are so dark that nothing can be seen." Weier said, "Before the Pan-continental Calendar began to record years and time, its said that these Hollow Flowers could instantly teleport people to other places. However, since a certain point in time, Hollow Flowers completely lost their function, and now they have all withered into fossils." Huh? Isnt this just like a teleport gate from a typical RPG game? Luo Xi thought this world was ridiculously large; although Winter City is on the southern edge of the Shining Country, the distance between the capital in the center of the Shining Country and Winter City is at least four thousand kilometers by the maps scale. Keep in mind, in reality, Xia countrys east-west distance is just over five thousand kilometers. This world is not sparsely populated for no reason; cities are extremely scattered, and for ordinary people, traveling to other places is truly difficult, making city owners and mayors sort of like their own Original Emperors. So teleport gates did exist a long time ago. Just not anymore. In gaming terms, its like they updated out the bug that let players teleport back to the city, making the game feel more real... pfft, if "Dawn" was really a game, the damn designers would definitely be cursed to death! [Ding! Traveler, you have triggered a personal quest: The Revival of the Hollow Flowers (Unique)] [Brief: As the Eternal World TreeVoid was destroyed, the Hollow Flowers in this world lost all their functions, but now, theres a possibility for the revival of Hollow Flowers. Traveler, light up your first Hollow Flower!] [Reward: A Fragment of Voids Origin x1 (advance payment)] [Description: Once you successfully revive and use a Hollow Flower, it will stay in a revived state for three months. The more Hollow Flowers you activate, the more the existence time of all the Hollow Flowers will be extended, until they are fully revived.] Luo Xi was taken aback. ... ... [Big Silly, where is that part of the Origin involving spatial abilities? We know you must have kept it, how about showing us?~] [Dont be so stingy, how about half? Fine, just give us ten pages, you dont need them anyway.] [We know youre still mad about being tricked with the Origin, but isnt this the right person weve found~ It wouldnt work for others anyway, what were you planning on doing by keeping it hidden? Turn it into a family heirloom and get buried with it?] [Youre concerned about something, we get it, but if you want to go all in, youve got to pay a price~] [Heh heh~ Got it!] sea??h th NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Or is it at 12 oclock?_1The resurrection task of the Hollow Flower... If it werent for these two unique characters popping up in this sudden personal task, Luo Xi would definitely think its fairly normal. In many games, you do need to activate a teleport gate before you can use it. But does "unique" mean that only he can undertake this task? So, the Damn Text, its you again, right?! [Note: I dont If you dont know then get out here, Ai Cao! (Damn) Acting cute wont help! [Ding!

It is now given in advance as a reward for completing future tasks provided to Travelers.] [Friendly Reminder: Besides reviving the Hollow Flower, dont just take it out carelessly. This is a treasure that could drive countless people crazy~] Luo Xi fell silent. An item of mythical grade was inexplicably crammed into his hands. Logically, he should be happy about it. However, it made him feel even more like he was being pushed by an invisible hand (Damn Text), a sensation that made him quite uncomfortable. Who knows what lies ahead waiting for him? [Note: So, you worthless Traveler, are you going to give up the power youve obtained, as well as the beast-eared Little Lolita youve lured into this world, not to mention their beautiful mother, Lady Liya?] Give up... thats impossible! But Damn Text, did you mix in some weird stuff? Luo Xi narrowed his eyes, staring at the Damn Text. What exactly do you want me to do? When will I ever see your true form? Let big brother have a good look at whether you are a Female Ghost Lolita wearing white stockings. Big brother wants to properly educate you! (Angry) Weier, watching Luo Xi staring into the air and grinding his teeth, curiously asked: "Pervert, what are you thinking about?" "Nothing." Luo Xi shook his head with a smile, tore apart the dried rations and slices of meat he had roasted, and handed them to Aina and Weier. He then stood up and walked towards the cave exit. Kicking away the snow at the entrance, Luo Xi emerged to gaze at the distant Winter Divine Tree sparkling with starlight, and far beyond, the silhouette of the Eternal World Tree Noah amid the nights haze. Although this world was somewhat unfamiliar to him, he would definitely regret it if he could no longer come here. So for now, hed just go with the flow and live casually. He decided he would just lie down, slack off, do nothing, and take Little Wolf and Cat Cat on tours every day~ [Note: Humph, you can slack off for now, but, you worthless Traveler, if you dont strive to improve yourself, dont regret it when an irresistible disaster strikes~] Luo Xi: "..." [This synchronization session ends here. Welcome back next time~] ... Luo Xi abruptly opened his eyes on the sofa. The rich scent of food and the fragrance of a girl wafted into his nostrils. Master Jiujian was sitting across the sofa looking at him, while Ai Xue was sitting beside him. "Senior, youre awake!" Ai Xue looked puzzled, "Whats the rush, is there something in the Dream world?" Luo Xi said subconsciously, "Watching two sisters fight..." "Hm?" "Lets not talk about the Dream world yet," said Master Jiujian, pointing to the food on the table and smiling, "These meals have just arrived. Lets eat first, and we can talk about your swordsmanship learning while we eat. By the way, do you drink, young friend?" "Ill have a can of beer," Luo Xi said. "Alrighty, Ill stick with my spirit," said Master Jiujian. He took out several cans of beer from a box on the floor and put them on the glass table, while he himself grabbed a bottle of spirits. Ai Xue grabbed a Coke, and the three of them started eating the delivered meals. I must say the food here tastes quite good. "Speaking of my swordsmanship," Master Jiujian said. As he guzzled the spirits and laughed, "Before I became a Dreamland Traveler, my elders were sword enthusiasts. My old man trained me to death from a young age, so even though I became a Knight-tier sublimated person in the Dream world, I still use a sword instead of a lance." "My swordsmanship has been rated as a Third-tier Proficient High-tier Sword Skill by the damn text. It means that even without relying on other transcendental powers as a sublimated person, I can still contend with a regular Third-tier Transcendent using just sword skills and Yuan Su, damn it! If it wasnt for that guys weapon being too treacherous and despicable yesterday... Sorry to make you laugh." Realizing he was too emotional, Master Jiujian stroked his beard twice to conceal his embarrassment. Ai Xue asked, "Senior Jiujian, does the game Dawn directly give out sword techniques?" Master Jiujian shook his head, "Techniques like swordsmanship, even if you complete a task, the text wont directly give you proficiency. You can only learn little by little. Mastery of techniques is different from climbing the tiers of transcendence; it genuinely requires time and effort." Luo Xi thought of Liyas rune skills and said thoughtfully, "But if one mastered these techniques such as swordsmanship to a great depth, it could greatly enhance the users strength." "Exactly. Skills like rune and alchemy for Skill Practitioners, and specialized skills, as well as sword skills, blade skills, riding skills, spear skills for Knights and Warriors, and archery for Archers. Even low-level transcendent beings may possess advanced skills, allowing them to challenge beyond their level," Master Jiujian said regretfully. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "But now everyone has the chance to gain transcendental powers in the Dream world. With transcendental powers, who would refine their skills in the short term? Its not an overnight matter, which is why I was so excited to hear you wanted to learn swordsmanship. Ive been looking for a talented disciple. If you master swordsmanship, combined with your powerful power armor, youd be truly invincible!" "Young friend, do you still wish to learn?" Luo Xi replied without hesitation, "Yes!" Master Jiujian slammed the table, "Good, tomorrow morning at six oclock, be on time for our meeting by the lake where we met this afternoon! I will start teaching you from the basics!" Luo Xi: "..." "What, you dont want to learn anymore?" Master Jiujians face turned flush from the alcohol, and he puffed up his beard with some dissatisfaction. "I do!" Master Jiujian praised, "You indeed have determination, young friend. Those bastards overseas are slandering you, saying that you are a loli-con, but I see thats utterly baseless talk!" Luo Xi raised his beer to clink glasses with Master Jiujian. "What the master said is extremely true!" [Ding! Your recognition with Master Jiujian +50] ... After Master Jiujian left, Ai Xue and Luo Xi remained. Ai Xues body had been shrinking, and now around seven oclock, she looked like a high school student. [Note: Traveler, how about you take your punishment one step ahead?] No way! Luo Xi, looking at Ai Xue cleaning up the garbage, asked, "How are things on your side, Ai Xue?" Ai Xue was startled, "You mean in the game?" "Yeah." Luo Xi nodded. "Today, I only died once." Ai Xue said with a bitter face, "But I still cant find a place to live. After nightfall, I died outside. I chose not to resurrect. To settle down in that city, you must obtain the exclusive currency of the City of Silence. Without it, you can only sleep on the street, waiting to be killed by unknown creatures." "You cant just leave the city directly?" "No... The dark radiance of that Divine Tree blocks all paths of departure." Ai Xue shook her head. "Is it a similar situation to what Im facing in Winter City?" Luo Xi thought for a moment and then took out the Talent Crystals from his knapsack. Included were one purple crystal, one blue crystal, and three green crystals. [Talent Crystal: Eye of Truth (Purple/Epic)] [Description: Allows you to see the truth that you wish to know] [Talent Crystal: Nightwalker (Blue/Rare)] [Description: When moving at night, your agility attribute +25] The other three green crystals were ones Luo Xi felt good about and hadnt given to the Travel Agency the night before. Luo Xi said, "These are for you. Try to clear out your beginners village as soon as possible." "Senior..." Tears welled up in Ai Xues eyes. She had already heard about the prices of Talent Crystals. Given the rarity of Dreamland Travelers and the priceless market value of Talent Crystals worldwide, a single purple crystal could sell for at least a hundred million. She also knew how poor Luo Xi had been before. Ai Xue could never have imagined that Luo Xi would give her something so valuable. "Senior is so nice!" Ai Xue threw herself into a bear hug with Luo Xi, moved as she said, "But theres no need, senior. You should use them to enhance your own strength." Luo Xi pushed Ai Xue away a bit; the softness pressing against his face was comfortable, but there was a suffocating feeling, and the constant feeling like Aina might chop him down with a firewood axe at any moment. [Note: Garbage Traveler, seems like youve been successfully trained by the Little Wolf Girl~ You might be shaped into Aina next~ (How sad!)] Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Luo Xi shook his head, "My talent slots are full, and I cant replace them for a while. I have to wait a long time, and by then I should have new ones of my own." "I see... then Ill accept them, thank you, senior." Ai Xue nodded slightly, then suddenly said, "Senior, were living together today, dont you want to agree to be my boyfriend? If senior likes them young, at twelve oclock its also possible. Just come to my room, I wont tell anyone..." Luo Xis mouth twitched. At twelve oclock, youll be even younger than Aina. Am I some kind of pervert?! ... The next morning. By the lakeside, Master Jiujian earnestly said, "To learn swordsmanship, one must establish perseverance as a foundation. Its not something that can be done overnight. You must be prepared to persevere for a long time! Have you thought it through?" "I have thought it through," Luo Xi seriously nodded. "Start by learning how to hold a sword with me." By noon. Master Jiujian looked at Luo Xi, who had already reached the level of swordsmanship prowess he had at about fifteen years old, with a stupefied face. Damn it, is this what they call a peerless genius?! Must be cheating! Chapter 247 - 199: I won’t marry Aina to you! You big pervert! (〃＞﹏＜〃) !_1 Chapter 247: Chapter 199: I wont marry Aina to you! You big pervert! (n) !_1Luo Xi slightly squinted his eyes, his long sword swinging blandly in his hand, with stabs and chops executed in solid steps, unceasingly repeating the same set of moves. [Ding! Talent: Sword Heart is continuously in effect, you are fully concentrating on sword technique training, your comprehension ability and learning speed for various sword techniques have increased by 500%.] [Ding! You have learned the basic sword techniques: thrust, back cleave, horizontal slash...] [Ding! You have comprehended the Apprentice-level long sword techniques.] Luo Xi sighed lightly, "It took six hours, but I finally learned the basics." Old Man Jiujian, upon hearing this, his eyebrows twitched uncontrollably. What do you mean learned the basics in just six hours? That was outrageous. I practiced from childhood until I was fourteen or fifteen just to learn these basics! Luo Xi put down the sword in his hand and wiped the dense sweat from his forehead. Sear?h the n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Unlike the straightforward and direct use of a broadsword, the use of a sword was more intricate and flamboyant. The long sword was too light and not suitable for him, but it was fitting for learning the basics. Perhaps later he could find a more suitable greatsword in the Dream world. Wait a minute, shouldnt the Travel Bureau have weapons for sale? At that moment, a slightly sour voice rose behind Luo Xi. "Young friend, you must have some kind of sword technique talent boost, right?" Luo Xi turned to look at the old man and admitted, "Yes." There was nothing to hide. "I thought as much." Master Jiujian nodded with a bitter smile, "Talent used to describe a persons natural gifts, but ever since "Dawn" appeared, talent has become a quantifiable item. Even those completely ignorant of something could make great strides by obtaining Talent Crystals." "Sword technique talents like yours are rare; I havent seen many. Even if there are any, most are of green quality. That Talent of yours, its at least of blue quality or higher, isnt it?" "Youre quite lucky, with luck, strength, and perseverance all on your side. Given time, you will certainly reach the peaks that people like myself look up to." Without waiting for Luo Xi to reply, Old Man Jiujian turned and walked away, "Go back and solidify these basic sword techniques. Lunch will be sent to you, and come back at the same time tomorrow. In addition to learning the sword, you must not neglect to explore the Dream world. Our informants report that the first Tier Four Dreamland Traveler may soon appear in reality." Luo Xi: "..." The old mans tone was a mix of envy and helplessness. He could also sense some of the old mans thoughts. Something he had studied his whole life, someone with a specific talent learned it effortlessly and easily. Does that mean his past efforts were worthless? [Note: All life continuously strives to extend its existence. Does this mean that if life were to end in the next moment, its current breath is worth nothing? Traveler?] Luo Xi was somewhat startled to see the Damn Text suddenly taking on a philosophical tone. Had it been possessed or something? [Note: What garbage thought is that, Traveler?! Believe it or not, I will turn you into a frail and easily toppled white-stocking Little Lolita!] Luo Xi: "..." Yeah, thats more like it. This was the Damn Text. . Luo Xi returned to the villa. After entering the villa, he took off his sweat-soaked T-shirt and showered in the first-floor bathroom. In the Dream world, he and Cat Cat were traveling to a place called Vita Village. It was about twenty-some kilometers away, and they could get there before dark. In the lowest interaction mode, his character in the Dream world would follow instructions without needing him to make decisions. If he encountered any danger, the texts crisis warning feature would alert him. When Luo Xi stepped out of the bathroom, Ai Xue had already arranged the food that was sent over in the restaurant. Her body had returned to normal, and she approached Luo Xi with her beautiful university student appearance, propping her face up with a smile as he came over. "Senior, would you like to eat your meal first, or... eat me first? Heh heh~" [Note: Hmph, not even the small garbage Travelers eat, let alone the big ones. It seems that the pure Lolita attribute cant attract hentai garbage Travelers after all~] Shut up, Damn Text! Luo Xi ignored Ai Xues words, sat down on a stool, and suddenly remembered something, "Ai Xue, we forgot about your cat cafe, didnt we? Werent you supposed to go to work today?" "Oh, that. No worries." Ai Xue said nonchalantly, "Mu Mu is on duty there today. Ive told her already. Later on, we can hire a few more part-time employees to relieve some pressure from the store. We can just drop by occasionally. Later on, we can even hire a manager. After all, were not short of those few thousand yuan." Ai Xue didnt tell Luo Xi how Chen Momo nearly panicked upon seeing Ai Xues message last night, almost wanting to call Ai Xues parents to tell them she had been deceived by a bad man. After Ai Xue reassured her she would return in a few days, Chen Momo could finally relax a bit. Luo Xi nodded slightly. Truth be told, spending time at the cat cafe now didnt seem worthwhile; better to spend that time practicing swordsmanship here. While eating, Ai Xue asked, "Senior, how much of the Dream world has been explored so far?" After thinking a moment, Luo Xi answered, "According to the Travel Bureaus database, all the known Dreamland Travelers have originated from the countries of Shining, Da Yan, and Dawn. The area of these three countries is so vast that the tens of thousands of travelers are like grains of sand in the sea, hardly noticeable. Some have ventured into Tiangong Country to the south, but no information on Emerald Country yet." Ai Xue looked at her text and pursed her lips, "Then I need to leave the City of Silence sooner. You have to wait for me, senior!" Luo Xi: "...." He suddenly realized that if Ai Xue came to his side in the Dream world one day, she would have to meet Wei Er Ainuo and the others. [Note: What faced the garbage Traveler: Xiu Luo Field or a bamboo sword? Just thinking about it excites me~] Shut up, Damn Text! What are you getting excited about! But it wasnt a big issue. After all, he would see them in reality first before encountering them in the Dream world. Luo Xi pondered that after letting Cradle and Nests cooldown pass, he would bring Cat Cat out the next night, take her out for dinner, and walk around with her. After all, fairness is important. The tsundere Cat Cat might not show it, but deep down she really cared about these things. ... After finishing her meal, Ai Xue returned to her room. [Use Talent: Eye of Truth?] [Yes] [Please select the information you want to view (Transcendence Tier/Talents/Titles/Individual Information...)] [Individual Information] [Detecting this individual....] Ai Xues expression turned somewhat pale. These people, they are all actually... ["Sister, I see youve been wandering the streets recently, are you looking for a job?"] [Traveler, as you turn to look beside you, a little girl is tugging at your sleeve, her face full of innocence and loveliness.] [Traveler, you do indeed need money from this place, so you agree to the girls request and follow her into a candymaking shop.] ... In the Snow Field, three people were navigating with a compass, trekking forward according to the maps route. Weier occasionally glanced at Luo Xi, who was numb-faced, with a dull gaze, and knew only to hurry along. What on earth is happening on his side? He hasnt come back for such a long time. It couldnt be, it couldnt be because of a woman over there... Mu Mu clenched her small fists tightly. She realized that Luo Xis body in this world could be divided into three states. The first state allowed for conversation and dialogue, although with a slight delay in response, indicating that he was controlling this body from that world. The second state was like the fool mode he was in now, responding only basically when called by name. The third state was when the soul came over; only then was he truly himself, but he could only come over for a very short time each day. "Sister, are you thinking about Brother Luo Xi?" Ainas soft voice rose beside Weiers ear. Weier turned her head and huffed, "Of course not, I wouldnt think about that pervert!" Aina grinned slyly, "Then can Aina go to that world to play with Brother Luo Xi tomorrow? Aina is really craving his cola and yogurt." Weier blurted out without thinking, "No way! Its my turn this time!..." Then, Mu Mu was taken aback, her pretty face rapidly turning crimson. She glanced at the idiotic Luo Xi beside her, pulled Aina over, and pinched her little face. Weier () said, "Stupid Aina, setting another trap for Sister, huh! You like him so much, Sister will have to see if youll be the one beside him in three years!" Aina ??? said, "Of course it will be Aina~ Brother loves Aina the most. He told Aina he wants to marry her but never said that to yououch!" Weiers grip had accidentally become a bit too strong. "Hmph." Weier coldly snorted, "Time is something that can truly wear people down. Youre still so young, by the time you grow up, that pervert might already be with someone else." "Huh?" Ainas Tea Gold eyes lost their spark in an instant. She looked up at her sister, "Then Aina will have to try everything to snatch Brother away~" Weier: "..." Mu Mus body shivered. Why does this stupid little sister make her feel somewhat scared? "Well, Sister Weier is an exception, though." Aina then smiled again, "If Sister wants to go before Aina, its okay. After all, Brother Luo Xi is the brother-in-law Aina found for herself~" "Brother-in-law..." In Weiers mind, an image she had thought of before emerged, but this time she was on top while Aina sat below. Her face flushed, she murmured softly, "If there really comes a day, then Ill have Aina... have her" "What are you talking about? Did something happen on the road?" Luo Xis voice interrupted. "Ah!" Weier was startled and her fur exploded all over, she hopped to the side. Her beautiful red eyes were dizzy as she looked at Luo Xi; visible steam evaporated from her head, even pushing her hat upward, revealing her reddened face and cat ears. "You... when did you get here, you pervert?" Luo Xi was baffled. What was that reaction? "I just got here... whats wrong?" "Did you hear everything?" "Heard what?" Luo Xi looked clueless as he scanned the text. His text until just now had always shown [You are on your way...], unaware of what Weier and Aina had discussed. [Note: They were discussing when they will marry you, Traveler~] Damn Text, who are you trying to fool! No way I believe that! Luo Xi joked, "Was it about marrying off Aina to me?" Relief flooded Weiers heart. Thank goodness he hadnt heard what she had just said... Yeah! Weier (n) said, "Theres no way I would marry Aina off to you! You big pervert!" Chapter 248 - 200: Burying Head to Suck Aina’s Tail~ Cat Cat: What about mine?_1 Chapter 248: Chapter 200: Burying Head to Suck Ainas Tail~ Cat Cat: What about mine?_1Luo Xi shrugged his shoulders; he wasnt surprised at all by Cat Cats reaction. The next moment, he felt a weight on his waist. "Brother Luo Xi!" Aina flung herself at him from the side, bumping into him. Luo Xi steadied himself and patted the little wolf girls head, chuckling lightly, "Havent seen me for just half a day, did you miss me, Aina?" After eating lunch, Luo Xi practiced swordsmanship again in the villas yard by himself. By the time he emerged from the trance of Sword Heart, it was already evening. Of course, the results were quite good; his apprentice-level sword skills had solidified a lot. Luo Xi also used the Dream Synchronization Module immediately to check the situation. Aina rubbed his hand: "Mm! Missed!" [Ding! Ainas favorability towards you +3] Luo Xi: "...." Favorability could still increase. Speaking of which, Ainas favorability towards him seemed to be approaching 300 quickly. If a quantitative change led to a qualitative change one day... would it transform directly into a yandere wolf-eared lolita? Or perhaps it was some kind of night raid plot? [Note: Seriously, garbage Traveler! Why dont you try not visiting this world for a week and come back all of a sudden, to see how the little wolf girl would have changed?] I dont want to, just the thought of it gives me the chills! Luo Xi looked at Cat Cat and asked, "How much further to Vita Village?" "About two kilometers left." Weier glanced at the sky and frowned, "We should be able to barely make it there before the sun goes down completely. The mountains here are too rugged; its really not easy to travel at night." Luo Xi said, "If it really doesnt work out, well have to find another cave to spend the night in." Weier nodded, "Thats the only way to go. By the way, do you really plan to go to where the Hollow Flower is located?" "Mhm." "I understand. According to our current pace, it will take at least three more days to get there." Weier didnt ask Luo Xi why he wanted to go there. The guy was a visitor from another world, inherently shrouded in mysterywho knew what he was planning. Maybe he could reactivate the Hollow Flower? "Three more days?" Luo Xi pet Ainas chin. Sar?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Thats a long time. If they were just sightseeing, three to five days would be fine, but the Shining Country was simply too cold. Walking through the snow field during the day was freezing to death, not to mention worrying about attacks from Origin Beastsmoving outdoors was sheer suffering. Although Liya had provided scrolls for repelling Origin Beasts, hearing rustling sounds in the snowy forest was always nerve-wracking. Luo Xi himself was indifferent; he could sleep in reality behind the screen, but Weier and Aina were often scared. He took out the map and studied it carefully once again. "Belgri Town." The closest Hollow Flower was marked on the edge of Belgri Town. After reaching Belgri Town, and then another two hundred kilometers, they could arrive at the next big city of Winter City level. Then they would continue west to the edge of the Confused Mountain Range, and from there, follow the edge of the mountain range south to the Da Yan Empire. This was their planned route. Luo Xi sighed lightly, "It would be nice if we had transportation." Weier shook her head, "Vehicles are useless in mountainous areas like this." "I was talking about airplanes and such." Weier blinked, "Airplanes? You mean airships? But airships are very likely to be directly attacked by flying Origin Beasts and crash. When I was very young, I remembers seeing a flying Origin Beast chasing an airship rapidly across the sky above Winter City. I just dont know what happened in the end." Luo Xi was taken aback, "There are really such things?" He remembered the otherworldly version of the steel automobiles he had seen around Winter City. The industrial system of this world was built on Essence, a transcendental energy. Since there were automobiles, airplanes also made sense. However, unlike reality, airships here are very dangerous... not only is the fatality rate high in an accident, but so is the incidence of accidents. No wonder the popularization is low. Weier said, "Yes, some big-shots in Winter City own private, small airships, one of which probably costs as much as an Essence-powered armortens of thousands of gold coins at least." "Which means a few thousand pounds of Essence Crystals, right?" Luo Xi did a quick calculation and realized that power armor was terrifyingly expensive. Considering that a Tier Four skill scroll from Liya was worth only a few hundred gold coins, it would take a hundred of such scrolls to exchange for power armor. However, it made sense... Scrolls were consumables, and a few hundred gold coins was already a fortune in this world. It just goes to show that something like power armor isnt something the average person can afford to play withits only the big cities like Winter City that have the means to play. The trio continued their journey, quickening their pace while talking. The sky grew darker and darker, and by the time the glow of the Divine Tree in the mountain village ahead was visible, Luo Xi had only ten minutes left to synchronize. That was a small village, and the central Divine Tree, at about thirty meters tallakin to a toddler compared to the Winter Divine Treewas emitting a gold light screen like an inverted bowl. "Does this village allow mutant patients to enter?" Luo Xi asked. Weier nodded, "They should, as long as you pay the village chief enough money. We dont seem to pose any threat in his eyes, but still, its best not to flaunt our wealth too much. Keep all our valuables except for a few gold coins for the road and supplies in your storage space." "Mm..." Its a bit too real. The three of them arrived in front of the Divine Trees light screen. There was a circular mud wall about three meters high on the inner edge of the light screen, preventing anyone from walking straight through. Chapter 249 - 200: Burying Head to Suck Aina’s Tail~ Cat Cat: What about mine?_2 Chapter 249: Chapter 200: Burying Head to Suck Ainas Tail~ Cat Cat: What about mine?_2A hoarse voice rose from the mud wall, "Who are you? What are you doing in Vita Town?" Luo Xi looked up and called out, "Were here to buy some supplies from outside and we hope to stay here for the night." "Stay for the night?" After a while, a young child peeked over the mud wall and looked down, immediately noticing the tails behind Weier and Aina. "Variants?" The child said with disdain, "Then leave, our village doesnt welcome Variants." Weier spoke up, "We can pay for our stay." The child made a face, "I dont need your stinky money. Taking your money might infect me, too! That look with the tails is so disgusting! I dont want to turn into that!" Luo Xi: "..." He gained a new understanding of this worlds discrimination against Mutant Patients. If such a small child was so prejudiced against Mutant Patients, not to mention adults. Someone below asked, "Markao, who are you talking to?" The child turned and said, "Dad, Im talking to three Variants!" "Variants?" The man opposite seemed to clamber up the stairs, and a few seconds later, Luo Xi saw a square-faced middle-aged man appear above. He asked in a deep voice, "What do you want?" Weier patted Luo Xis arm and shook her head, "Lets go, well just find a cave to spend the night." Luo Xi nodded and turned to leave. "Wait a minute!" The middle-aged man then picked up the child and started spanking him, "You little brat, did you drive them away again? How many times have I told you! As long as people dont have obvious ill intentions, they should be welcomed. With the Lord Mayor around, are you at odds with money?!" "Dad! Stop hitting me! I was wrong! Ah!" After spanking the child, the square-faced middle-aged man smiled and called down, "Are you looking for a place to stay? The entrance fee is five silver coins per person, and the accommodation fee is extra." Luo Xi: "..." Indeed, this was the reality. But this man was much better than the guards of Winter City. Luo Xi tossed a gold coin and five silver coins onto the mud wall, and the square-faced middle-aged man caught them. After a glance, his smile bloomed. Being in charge of the village wall is indeed a delightful job. "Come on, walk to the right. Theres a gate there." ... At the base of Vita Villages Divine Tree, in an ancient three-story building, an elderly man gazed sorrowfully at a pale-faced, black-bodied child lying on the bed. This must have been done by that old Skill Practitioner! That person had come here to stay the night before last. Because he was very powerful, the old man had personally received the old Skill Practitioner. After he left yesterday morning, by the afternoon his grandson had started acting odd, and today he had ended up like this. The old man didnt know any healing methods. The Vita Divine Tree also had no healing abilities. So, the old man could only watch as his grandsons breathing gradually became weaker and weaker. Suddenly, the old man looked outside the house. Was someone coming? Were they here to stay the night? Given his grandsons condition, the old man had an extremely bad impression of those looking to stay the night. "Child, your grandfather will be back in a moment." The old man gently touched his grandsons face and stood up to head outside. ... After entering the gate in the mud wall, Luo Xi and his group followed the square-faced middle-aged man along a country lane toward the center of the village. Under the faint glow of the Divine Tree, there was no need for any lighting devices in the village; all details and outlines could be seen clearly. The square-faced middle-aged man said in front, "First Ill take you to see the Mayor, thats the rule here. Whoever comes here has to see the Mayor first." "Is the Mayor the controller of the Divine Tree here?" "Of course." On the way, Luo Xi saw several children chasing and playing. When they saw Luo Xi and the others, they stopped to whisper, making comments about the ugly tails of the Variants, before a shout from the middle-aged man scared them off. An adult said to the square-faced middle-aged man with a smile, "Gano, more people staying the night? Taking them to the Mayor?" The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Thats right." "How much did you charge them for the road fee?" "Not telling you." The man glanced at Luo Xi and company, clicking his tongue, "And they are all Variants." Aina huddled close to Luo Xi, her wolf tail hanging low behind her. Luo Xi, feeling somewhat distressed, stroked the Little Wolf Girls face, "Shall we just leave?" Aina shook her head gently, "No need, Brother Luo Xi. My tail isnt disgusting, right?" Luo Xi replied without hesitation, "Of course not, I love it the most." Aina expectantly asked, "How much do you love it? Tell the truth, Brother." Luo Xi, unable to resist Ainas gaze, lowered his voice to say: "The kind of love where I want to bury my face in it and sniff..." [Note: hentai!] "Aina, dont talk to a pervert, or youll become one too." Weier pulled her sister back to her side, gave Luo Xi a sidelong glance, and then sneakily glanced at her own cat tail. Could my tail make him bury his face in it? No, no! (n)! Cat Cat was shaking her head desperately. What am I thinking! After passing through the judging eyes of many villagers, Luo Xi and his group finally arrived near the Divine Tree. There was an old man holding a cane, standing under the tree looking at them. Luo Xi glanced to his right, his gaze sharpening; he saw something like a plane, with a strong metallic feel and equipped with a propeller structure. "Hey? We were just talking about it, and here it actually is." Weier whispered in Luo Xis ear, "Thats called an airship." Luo Xi took a good look and noted it resembled those old-fashioned propeller planes from reality. The square-faced middle-aged man respectfully said, "Mayor, Ive brought the guests who are seeking shelter. How should we proceed?" With a strike of his cane, the old man bluntly said, "You all get out right now!" Luo Xi and his companions were stunned on the spot. The square-faced middle-aged man was also taken aback. "Mayor, they have paid" "Out! I wont say it a third time!" After speaking, the old man turned and walked toward the door of the house. "Alright..." The square-faced middle-aged man turned back and said apologetically, "Sorry, it seems that you cant stay today. Maybe the Mayor is just in a bad mood." Luo Xi shook his head, "Its okay, thank you anyway. Well leave now." The discriminative atmosphere here made it uncomfortable for him as well. Better to leave. [Ding! Your special mission: The Cleansing of the Necromancy has been cancelled.] [Traveler, you have triggered a special mission: The Pursuit of the Necromancy (I)] [Mission Brief: The former Chief Magistrate and Necromancy Skill Practitioner seems to have left Winter City, but you have found traces he left behind in Vita Village.

The perverted traveler is here, run fast! _1Fxxk, there are pheromones here again! Luo Xi subconsciously felt that there was something off about this old man. Getting a sudden increase of 300 in Favorability after completing a task, what the hell is that? Even with Aina, the most Favorability I ever got from a task was 50. [Note: Is it possible that the old mans current Favorability towards you, the garbage Traveler, is extremely low?] Huh? Luo Xi opened the character module. [Of course, the Favorability of Vita Villages chief towards you is: -120 (extremely hostile)] [Description: For some reason, the chief will be hostile towards all outsiders for a short period. Please do not provoke him lightly~] -120? No wonder, even with an increase of 300, it would only be 180... but thats still pretty high, right? Considering the sudden Pursuit of the Necromancer task, did that grand judge Delkus come here before? "Young man, lets go. You can camp outside the village for the night. Typically, Origin Beasts wont approach near the village," the square-faced middle-aged man Gano called out to Luo Xi. Luo Xi hesitated for a moment, then shouted loudly, "Village elder, Sir, I think you might have encountered some trouble, right? Perhaps we can help you." The old man, who was halfway into his house, suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at Luo Xi with a piercing gaze that was frightening. "What do you know?" The Vita Divine Tree gently swayed, and golden specks fell like snow, making the villagers still outside look up curiously at the sky. Luo Xi said in as calm a tone as possible, "Not long ago, did a deathly pale old man come here?" "Do you know him? Whats your relationship with him?!" The chiefs expression changed, and he growled low in his throat. He stepped forward and, like a ghost, instantly appeared in front of Luo Xi, reaching straight for Luo Xis head, only to grab a suddenly appearing black iron sphere. The instant his fingers touched the iron sphere, he felt a power that even scared him coursing through it. Although it wasnt to the point where he couldnt counteract it, his instincts told him that if he let this thing be unleashed, it would unquestionably be a big problem. And those scrolls in the youngsters hands also gave him a very dangerous feeling... when did he take them out? [Ding! Talent: Mutual Exclusion has been triggered, the chiefs Favorability towards you -50] [Ding! The chiefs Alertness Value towards you +100] The old man snorted coldly, put down his hand, and took a step back, keeping his gaze fixed on Luo Xi. "Who exactly are you?! Gano, go outside and notify everyone, tell them not to come out!" The square-faced middle-aged man was also confused by this sudden change. He quickly ran towards the village, telling some villagers who wanted to join the commotion to go back home immediately, and then sprinted to find his son. "Are you insane?!" Weier grabbed Luo Xis hand and whispered low, "What are you doing?" "Its okay." Luo Xi gave Cat Cat a reassuring look. Besides the Spark at his feet, he now held several scrolls in his hand. With the pile of scrolls given by his mother-in-law and the power of Spark, Luo Xi wasnt very afraid of the old man suddenly going berserk. As the custodian of the villages Divine Tree, the old man was not to be underestimated, but it certainly wasnt to the point where they couldnt provoke him at all. According to the Travel Bureaus records, a Divine Tree between thirty to fifty meters was the smallest category of all Divine Trees. The strength it conveyed to its custodian was at most just entering Tier Four, or even less than Tier Four. If a Lord-level Origin Beast had its sights on such a small village, the entire village would be doomed unless they received reinforcements during the defense. That was why Luo Xi was so bold. If all else failed, he could use time reversal to try again; he also had some experiments he wanted to conduct. Luo Xi was curious to know if the proficiency of the sword skills he learned today would reset after using the power of Moonflow to go back in time. If not... does that mean he could use this method to infinitely grind the proficiency of a certain skill within the same day? [Note: Garbage Traveler, your idea sounds great, but we have to remind you that although mental pressure can be relieved, the impression on the soul within Moonflow will still accumulate. Indulging too much in the power of time, even the most resilient souls can become lost~] Luo Xi: "..." So how many times can I do it at most? [Note: Who knows~ (I honestly dont this time~)] So the previous I dont know were all lies, right? Damn Text, come out Ai Cao! Luo Xi glanced at the remaining synchronization time and saw it was almost up, so he used [Immersion] again. In this situation, its better to be in control myself. As his vision cleared, Luo Xi could see the elder mans weathered face, and he said, "Village elder, Sir, we are enemies of that Necromancer. Weve been following his trail all the way here, so you dont need to worry about us being in cahoots with him." The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Luo Xi believed that as long as the old man wasnt foolish, he probably wouldnt continue to attack. Cat Cat blinked confusedly nearby. What was Luo Xi talking about? Didnt we come to Vita Village just to grab some supplies and rest? But at this time, Weier also knew she had to cooperate with Luo Xi, so she just hugged Aina, keeping her mouth shut. "You have a grudge against that Skill Practioner?" The chief scrutinized Luo Xi and the others, glanced at the iron sphere he had laid down, and at the two innocently cute Variant girls beside him, and he slightly relaxed his guard. These Variants seemed indeed different from the Skill Practioner who came two days ago. [Ding! The old mans Alertness Value towards you -30] Luo Xi immediately asked, "Village elder, Sir, can you tell us what happened? We might be able to lend you a hand." "My grandson, he..." The chief paused mid-sentence, sighed, then turned back and said, "Come in with me, and see for yourselves." Now, they could only treat a dying horse as if it were a living one. If they could save his grandson, he was willing to agree to any of their demands. . The second floor of the village chiefs house. On the bed lay a boy of about seven or eight years old. His face was completely drained of blood, his body turned black, and his breathing was as faint as that of a dead person. Luo Xi stood by, quietly observing. Weier and Aina were on his right side. The three of them listened as the village chief recounted what had happened the day before yesterday. "It was already past three in the middle of the night when the Vita Divine Tree alerted me that a powerful individual had entered the village. I went out and saw a Third-tier Skill Practitioner, so I personally welcomed him and offered him a stay at my house." The village chief shook his head, his expression bitter, "After he left yesterday morning, my grandson turned into this by the afternoon. Now his life is hanging by a thread. If this continues, I fear he wont survive until tomorrow morning." "It must be that bastards doing!" Weier whispered in Luo Xis ear, "This childs condition... it feels like some kind of curse skill, similar to when you were cursed by Noss." "Mhm." Luo Xi nodded. The Damn Text had already given him the answer. [Cursed Little Boy] [Description: A certain trait present within has attracted the prying and attention of an entity, placing upon him a curse. Traveler, you can choose to try to save him, or watch as he dies.] He was puzzled as to why the Grand Judge Delkus would harm such a young child. A certain trait? What trait could it be? Seeing Luo Xi and Weier discussing with detached expressions, a flame of hope uncontrollably sparked within the old man. He kneeled down on the floor without hesitation, surprising Luo Xi and the two women. "Please save him! As long as you can save my grandson, I will agree to whatever you ask." "Please get up first." Luo Xi quickly went to assist the old man, not wanting to accept such a gesture. "Grandpa... why are you kneeling? Cant Brother Qiong En be cured?" At that moment, a childish voice sounded from outside the door, and a little girl holding a white bear toy stood hesitantly at the entrance, looking at the people inside the room. "Kana," the village chief turned and scolded, "You go back to your room! Until Grandpa allows it, you are absolutely not allowed outside!" The little girl was immediately frightened by the old man. However, she didnt leave, but instead walked into the room, clutching her white bear toy, tears brimming in her eyes, as if she wanted to kneel as well. The young girl didnt know the origins of Luo Xi and the others. All she knew was her powerlessness and the strength of her grandfather in her heart. In her eyes, Grandpa was invincible! But now, seeing his humbled state, she realized that these people might be bad, and thought if she also knelt down, could it make them spare them? As the girls knees were about to touch the ground, two steady hands caught her and placed her beside the village chief, and helped the old man to his feet as well. The old man held his granddaughter in his arms, somewhat dazed. Luo Xi took a cleansing scroll from his bag and tossed it to Cat Cat, then said with a light chuckle, "Your granddaughter is very filial." The girl, nestled in the old mans arms, blinked her pure large eyes. Looking at Luo Xis smiling face, she suddenly felt that these people might not be so bad after all. [Ding! Kanas Favorability towards you +40] [Note: Its over, its over, the hentai trash Traveler is going to abduct a new Little Lolita again! Run, naive child!] Shut up, Damn Text! (p)! But why was there such a sudden increase in favorability when neither the Affinity for Small Animals talent nor the Master of Beast-Eared Lolita Conquest title was taking effect? As Weier unfurled the scroll handed to her by Luo Xi, a warm white light emitted from the scroll, enveloping the body of the child on the bed. A grey skull pattern appeared on the boys forehead, which was rapidly being wiped away. [Ding! Tier Four Nature Series Skill: Light of Purification is affecting the individual] [Ding! Necromancy Curse has been completely dispelled by Light of Purification] "Cough cough" With a couple of faint coughs, the boy on the bed who had been at deaths door was now breathing much more steadily, and his complexion also looked much better. The old man, holding his granddaughter, moved excitedly to check on his grandson. Although still weak, the boy was no longer in immediate danger of dying. "Brother!" Kana also noticed that her brother looked much better. She looked at Luo Xi gratefully. Sar?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

After confirming that his grandsons curse had been lifted and he was still in a deep sleep, the village head had Luo Xi and the other two come downstairs from the upper floor. The old man rubbed his granddaughters head and affectionately said, "Kana, chat with our benefactors for a bit. Grandpa is going to make some tea." "Okay!" Kana sat on the sofa with her white bear doll, cautiously observing the three people opposite her. Her gaze lingered for a while on the tails behind Weier and Aina, then shifted towards Luo Xi. [Ding! Kanas favorability towards you has increased by +5] [Current favorability of Kana towards you: 75 (The handsome stranger who saved her brother)] [Description: Because you saved her biological brother and you possess an outstanding appearance, which is rare in this village where the men are mostly unattractive, she has developed some favorability towards you.] [Note: You dont need to rely on the negligible talents and titles. Even without beast ears, youre still an attractive lure for little lolitas, you damn traveler~] Luo Xi: "..." Is it wrong to be handsome?! I dont just attract little lolitas! (**)? He took off his hat, revealing his mutated features. To prevent the damn text from further ridiculing him as a suspect abductor of little lolitas, he decided to take the initiative to reduce the little girls favorability towards him. Luo Xi felt that Kanas favorability increased so easily because he had not shown his mutated traits and perhaps she thought he was a normal human. After seeing the black red dragon horns on Luo Xis head, Kanas pupils clearly widened a bit. [Ding! Kanas favorability towards you has increased by +5] Luo Xi: "Hm?!" Somethings not right! Why is it a plus sign instead of a minus sign? Aina muttered to herself after sensing a slight change in the smell of the girl opposite them, "Why is Brother Luo Xi so popular with little girls?" The girl smiled sweetly and said, "Big brother, you have horns like my father did, it brings back memories." Luo Xi was taken aback, "Your father..." "Father and mother were killed by an Origin Beast seven years ago while they were out." Kana said somewhat sadly, "Brother and I were raised by grandpa, so Im very thankful to you for saving him. If I didnt have my brother, I wouldnt know how to go on." "Aina also knows what it feels like when youre missing someone and cant go on," Aina said. Looking at her sister, Aina turned her head and humphed, "But Brother Luo Xi wont be handed over to you, and you dont have a tail anyway. Brother Luo Xi doesnt like girls like you. Were just acquaintances who happened to meet and will be leaving soon, so I advise you not to think too much." The girl across from them blinked. What was this slightly older Variant girl talking about? Weier: "..." How much does her dumb sister like this weirdo? Shes so wary even around a little girl they just met. The little bunny at Sister Lainas inn was almost scared to tears by Aina. If Weier wasnt her sister, Aina would probably not be so friendly towards her either when shes with Luo Xi, right? Seeing no response from the child opposite her and in an attempt to assert dominance, the little wolf girl placed Luo Xis hand onto her own tail. Luo Xis hand instinctively retracted. But Aina pulled it back and slapped it onto her tail again, her tea-gold eyes looking at Luo Xi and softly said: "Brother Luo Xi, dont you like Ainas tail the most? Or were you lying to Aina?" Luo Xi: "." He never thought that one day he would be compelled to pet... If I dont pet, its a missed opportunity! He separated the outer fur of the tail with his fingers and reached into the soft inner layer. [Ding! Your happiness level has increased by +30] It must be said that in such a cold place, being able to tuck your hand into the large tail of a beast-eared girl for warmth is really nice~ [Note: You damn traveler, its not even that cold here! Dont use the cold as an excuse to pet beast-eared lolitas! Take him away!] No way! It was Aina who initiated the petting! Who can arrest me now! "Hehehe..." With Luo Xis gentle strokes, Ainas face flushed red, and she hummed with pleasure. Weier squinted at Luo Xis actions, her forehead marked with several p. Ever since mom left, this weirdo has been getting bolder. Aina lets you touch, and so you just touch? You could have at least asked me first! Cat Cat wrapped her own tail around her hand, holding back the urge to smack Luo Xi. The current good conditions were all crafted by Luo Xis hand. Stay calm! I have to maintain my sanity just like mom used to do every day! Kana looked puzzled at the guests sitting across from her on the sofa. She didnt quite understand why the big brother seemed so happy touching the girls mutation next to him. Dont Variants dislike these features? When her dad was alive, he also tried multiple times to cut off the horns on his head. Have Variants reached the point where they can be so abstract with their play? "Sorry for the wait, benefactors." The village head came out of the kitchen with a teapot, saying, "Dear benefactors, please have some tea first. Ive arranged for the meal to be prepared, and it will be served immediately once ready... eh." He immediately noticed Luo Xi who was touching the little wolf girls tail. Come to think of it, the two girls who are with Luo Xi dont seem to be very old. Is this young man usually this intimate with the two girls? Thats really... quite perverted. No, he needed to keep a closer eye on Kana. Luo Xi withdrew his hand from the large tail as if it was nothing. The old man also sat next to his granddaughter, placed the teapot on the table, poured five cups, and smiled: "This is the Yanxie Tea from the Da Yan Empire. It makes you feel warm all over, and its perfect for a cold place like our Shining Country. Please have a taste." Luo Xi picked up the cup and took a sip. [Ding! Your Warmth Level +1] "The teas not bad." Luo Xi asked, "May I inquire how many people live in this village?" "Around 250 or so," the old man said. "Not many." The old man shook his head and said with a wry smile, "After all, its such a remote little village. The Vita Divine Tree can only ward off the disaster-level Origin Beasts. If a Lord-level Origin Beast happens by, we can only hope it finds us too bony to bother with." "Is there anything you need my help with? Although Vita Village is small, if its something the benefactors ask for, Ill do my utmost even if it means giving away all my belongings." Luo Xi pointed outside, "I want that big airplane, is that possible?" Weiers cat tail flicked. So this weirdo laid his eyes on the airplane outside right from the start, huh? "What big airplane?" The old man looked utterly befuddled. Weier covered her face and said, "Thats called an airship." "Oh, benefactors wish to have that airship?" The village chief scratched his chin. Luo Xi raised an eyebrow, "Is that a problem?" Surely the old man couldnt be that stingy, could he? Of course, he was also aware that the price of the airship, comparable to the powered armor, might be prohibitively expensive. The village chief might be reluctant to part with it, but speaking earlier of fulfilling any request and now entertaining the idea of reneging was honestly a bit irksome. The village chief immediately said, "No, no, its not that its impossible. Except for the Divine Tree and Kana, you can take anything that catches your fancy from Vita Village. But the main structure of that airship is made from bits of a fallen airship my son once picked up in the wild, which he patched up with all sorts of things. Its indeed still operational, but its extremely dangerous. Besides, do you know how to operate it?" "Operate an airship..." Luo Xi also considered this. Wait, didnt the old man say something odd? Except for the Divine Tree and Kana? The Divine Tree made sense, but why would he lump his own granddaughter into the mix? [Note: Trash Traveler, your Loli-con nature is so obvious even a commoner can see it~] Scram! Luo Xi turned to the cat cat beside him and asked, "Cat Cat, can you operate an airship?" Weier rolled her eyes at Luo Xi, speechless. [Note: Trash Traveler, dont forget about your dear Spark~] Spark? Could it be that Spark knew how to pilot an airship? Luo Xi thought for a moment, then said, "No matter." The village chief said helplessly, "The airship is just outside the door. You can take it anytime. However, the Essence Power reactors energy crystals arent plentiful anymore, and here in Vita Village, we dont have sufficient Essence Crystals or refined Essence. That thing is really a money-guzzling behemoth..." Luo Xi declared resolutely, "Thats the one." The village chief also nodded in agreement. Sarch* The N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "And theres the matter of the Skill Practioner." The old man asked in a grave tone, "Do you know where he comes from?" Luo Xi briefed the old man on Delkus the Grand Arbiters great deeds in Winter City, making all the wrinkles on the old mans face crowd together in shock. He had sheltered such an evil Necromancer for a night? Luo Xi asked, "Is there anything special about your child that would attract his attention?" "Something special?" The village chief pondered for a long while. "My grandsons spirit strength is very high. I was planning to send him to live in a bigger city like Winter City once he got a little older. The path of Sublimation offered by the Road of Winter there is much better than the Tier-3 strength I can get from the Vita Divine Tree." The old man mused, "If he is a Necromancer, it makes sense. Regardless of the path of Necromancy, the requirements for spirit are very high. No wonder I noticed my grandson has been continuously weak in spirit since he left. This curse he left behind is able to devour my grandsons spirit at its root. Even separated by hundreds of miles, even through the barrier of the Divine Tree, it can be transformed into his own original strength." "Thats real sorcery! Benefactors, if you plan to go after that Necromancer, you must be careful!" "Mm." Luo Xi thought to himself that with this world being so vast, he just didnt believe he could bump into that old guy again. ... On the third floor of the village chiefs house. The night was deep. Weier took out a notebook and a pen from a small bag she always carried with her, and she flipped open the first page of the notebook. [Pan-continental Calendar 3970, December 8th, Snow] [Today, mom threw us out early to protect us, and she never came back to find us. I, Aina, and Luo Xi spent the night in a cave far from Winter City. Aina got into a fight with me. That silly sister of mine is always about marrying that pervert...] She wrote this yesterday. She glanced at Aina, who was fast asleep beside her, turned the page, and began writing carefully with the pen. [Pan-continental Calendar 3970, December 9th, Snow] [We walked all day today. That bastard Luo Xi was off in his own world during the day, leaving a stupid body to walk here. I really want to know if he has other girls over there... Not that I care about him or anything! Also, hes going to look for Hollow Flowers. Arent those already useless? After sunset, we arrived at Vita Village. That weirdo saved the village chiefs son with a scroll from mom. His purpose turned out to be that airship. I only want to know if he can even pilot it? Aina, that kid, seems to have started growing recently. When I bathed her tonight, I felt shes only about five or six centimeters shorter than me now. Sigh...] After finishing her writing, Cat Cat closed the notebook, stuffed it back into her bag, and burrowed under the covers to sleep. Tomorrow would be a brand new day. After a while, Aina suddenly opened her eyes and looked towards her sisters bag. What did sister write? Chapter 252 - 203: The two sisters won’t lose...right? Spark·Airship Mode!_1 Chapter 252: Chapter 203: The two sisters wont lose...right? SparkAirship Mode!_1[Traveler, you have entered a deep sleep in the room on the third floor arranged by the village chief...] Luo Xi got up from the bed and washed his face in the bathroom. The matters of the Dream World today were essentially over. Things were looking good in Vita Village; with the flying vessel, if it could be used, they would save considerable effort in their travels. As for the fear of being attacked by flying Origin Beasts and crashing... with the SL spells, there was nothing to be afraid of. Thud thud! Someone knocked on the door. Luo Xi rubbed his face as he walked out of the bathroom. Who could it be? Emmmm... No need to think about it, besides him, there was only Ai Xue in this villa. It was still half an hour until midnight. Could it be that Ai Xue really wanted to freeload when she was at her smallest size... [Note: Just thinking about a small, green and tender body harboring a mature soul, under the double assault of the sense of immorality and guilt, damn Traveler, are you feeling a bit excited?] Luo Xi glanced at the Damn Text. If one could be excited by a girl who is even smaller than Aina, wouldnt that be a complete sicko? He went over and opened the door. Little Ai Xue, now about the same height as Aina and wearing thin summer pajamas, stood at the door with a dazed expression, looking up with a confused gaze and said, "Senior, if my actions resulted in many people disappearing, should I still do it?" Luo Xi: "?" Whats up with this junior sister? Was she on drugs? "Sorry, senior... I better not disturb you." Ai Xue stumbled out a few strange words then bowed her head to apologize to Luo Xi, and turned to scurry back to her own room. Squeak The door closed, leaving Luo Xi standing in the hallway with a bewildered expression. Ai Xue sat on the bed, staring blankly at her own text. [Traveler, youre huddling in the corner with your arms around yourself, looking at the girl on the bed who is like a dried-up zombie, feeling an increasing sense of fear that you cant shake off] [Alida] [Race: Undead] [Favorability: 70 (This new clerk is quite diligent)] [Description: She is the spirit of a person who has died] [Ding! Youve triggered a free task: Echoes of Bygone Days] [Task Brief: These people who have died should have completely disappeared with the City of Silence, but due to some special power, they reappeared in this world along with the City of Silence. Alida, like others in the city, repeats her behavior from before her death during the day and can move like a normal person. But at night, she becomes a corpse. Its time to end this absurdity here.] [Hint: When the City of Silence is unsealed, and you, the Traveler, go outside, it is also the time when the undead here awaken. Everything will become like a bubble from the past, Traveler, do you have the courage to bear all of this?] [Task Reward: A step in Sublimationthe Omen of Child of the Dark Night and the location of Dark Night Country on the vast continent] ... When the sky began to brighten slightly, Luo Xi woke up. [Traveler, after waking up, you came to the flying vessel downstairs and took out the Spark from your travel bag] sea??h th N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ["Master? What are you going to do?"] [Spark is asking for your thoughts, Traveler] ["Spark, can you operate this flying vessel?"] ["I dont know... maybe? Its like the first time Master put the power furnace inside Spark. Sparks essence also transformed into a construction of runes like the power furnace. So now, Spark should also be able to integrate itself into the interior of other machines. Although the compatibility isnt very high, it should be possible."] ["Then could you try it?"] ["As Master commands, Spark will surely accomplish it! But it may take a period of time."] ["No rush."] After arranging the matters in the Dream World, Luo Xi then went over to the lakeside, where Master Jiujian was already waiting. Master Jiujian handed him a sword and said, "Today, I will teach you our familys Moonflow Flowerroll Sword Skill. Ive reached proficiency in this art through daily accumulation and breakthrough only when ready. The foundation is built on this sword skill. With the aid of Otherworld Yuan Su, you should be able to reach skillful proficiency. As for advancing to the level of Mastery, thats something youll have to achieve on your own." Luo Xi held the sword and nodded slightly, "Then I thank Master Jiujian for his teaching." It wasnt a problem to address her as Master since she was passing down her prized sword skill. "You neednt call me Master." Master Jiujian waved her hand, somewhat helpless, "Ive only taught you one sword skill, and my strength is not enough to be your Master. I only hope that if something happens in the future, you could help out within your means." "Sure." Luo Xis gaze drifted toward the large mountain shrouded in the morning mist in the distance of the park. The time until the second beta test, as mentioned by that person, wasnt very far off. What would this world become after that? Since he couldnt step into Sublimation in a short time and it wasnt wise to deepen Mutation indiscriminately, then honing his skills was indeed a good choice. [Ding! Your Talent: Sword Heart is continuously in effect...] By noon, the long sword in Luo Xis hand thrashed out waves like flowing clouds, shredding many drifting leaves in an instant. Seeing this, Master Jiujian, who was fishing on the side, couldnt help but want to shout: Is there a GM for "Dawn"? I want this kind of cheat talent too! Why did this kid master in one morning the skill that took me a month to learn after entering the gateway?] Chapter 253 - 203: The two sisters won’t lose, right?

In the dim meeting room, the video of Luo Xis counter-killing a group of player hunters was playing repeatedly on the projection screen, while several people watched and discussed it below. "This Black Death God is very strong, but 90 percent of his power is in his gear. His movements and attack methods are lacking, and his skills are so trash I dont even feel like criticizing. I think hes the weakest one at the Black Danger Level. If we suddenly attack him, even if he reacts, hell hardly be able to block in time." "I wouldnt recommend an ambush. After hes dead, the Dreamland knapsack will only drop half the items. If they dont drop, then its a huge loss." "We could ambush and heavily injure him first, then kill him when he uses that gear." "Xia country has been gathering potential players, making it troublesome to take down players alone. However, we have informants over there. As soon as we find him alone, we can make a move." "Lets do it! We really need high-tier equipment like that. Once we get it, we evacuate immediately to avoid being surrounded by the Travel Enforcement Agency." "I second that." .... /// Weier sat at the entrance of the village chiefs house, looking bored at the dumb version of Luo Xi beside her. Luo Xi said that he would act after noon, asking them to stay in Vita Village for a while to collect usable materials, and then he went into idle mode. What was this guy doing in his world? Hitting on women? So slow... Aina didnt have any interest in talking to the idle Luo Xi and was now playing cards with the village chiefs little daughter, leaving Weier alone to watch over Luo Xi. And that airship... Weier always felt the color of the airship was becoming a bit strange. At this moment, Luo Xi beside her got up and headed straight towards the airship. "You pervert..." Weier reached out her hand towards him, and seeing that Luo Xi ignored her, she withdrew it discontentedly. ... [Ding! Weiers dissatisfaction with you +30] As soon as Luo Xi opened the text, he saw that Cat Cat had added 30 points of dissatisfaction with him. Why the dissatisfaction? Was it just one morning? Since when had Weier become so dependent on him? Due to the effects of his Sword Heart Talent, Luo Xi paid no attention to the text while learning swordsmanship, as distractions would significantly reduce his efficiency. Therefore, he simply asked Cat Cat and Aina to stay in the village for half a day more. [Note: Is Cat Cat also going to become a garbage Traveler? (Sad~)] Damn text, believe it or not, Ill transform you into my shape too! (Damn it!) [Traveler, you are nearing the airship] [A cute voice resounds in your ear] ["Master, Spark succeeded!"] [Ding!

[Would you like to try using the airship?] [Yes!] [Traveler, unable to wait, you have Weier and Aina keep their distance from you. You open the airships hatch, and the village chief along with his granddaughter and awakened grandson come out. The village chief, watching your actions and the airship that changed for some reason after one morning, respects you even more.] [After entering the black exterior of the airships cockpit, the blonde elf Spark appears above your head.] [She boasts to you: "Master, isnt Spark amazing? Spark connected her power core with this big guys power core, making it dual-core! And they dont interfere with each other! Sparks original rune sequences are also spread throughout this big guy, now Spark *is* this big guy!"] ["Impressive!"] That rune power elf is just too awesome! Not giving her up was certainly the right choice. [Note: After all, the garbage Traveler cant bear to part with a Lolita, can he~] This has nothing to do with her being a Lolita, okay? [Traveler, you excitedly say: "Spark, get ready to take off! You take control! Just make sure its safe."] ["Spark received!"] [Under the worried eyes of Weier and Aina, the airships propellers start spinning; the dust and leaves around the airship are instantly swept away. A large amount of gas is expelled from underneath the airship, lifting you into the air. After rising twenty meters off the ground, the airship accelerates forward. You pass through the Divine Tree Barrier of Vita Village and venture outside the village. Soon, the airships speed increases rapidly, climbing higher and higher.] [Through the transparent glass of the airship, you look at the scenery of the Snow Field below, feeling uneasy. Even though you dont need to control the airship, its acceleration firmly presses you into your seat.] [Traveler, you shout: "Can you slow down?"] [Spark apologizes from your shoulder: "Master sorry, this is Sparks first time, so shes not very proficient yet. Next time Spark will control it better."] [Ding! Your Fear Value +50] [Ding! Your Fear Value +100] Luo Xi shivered. Luckily it was Sparks first time and he hadnt experienced it himself. But he did indeed want to try what it felt like to fly in the sky. Next time he would bring Cat Cat and Aina with him. Those two little cuties would definitely be delighted, right? [After the airship landed, facing your pale invitation, Weier and Aina said they would rather walk than ride in that thing and ran off to the village chiefs house.] Dont want to ride? Thats not acceptable. Whats the fun of flying alone? Hed personally go into the Dream World and tie those two sisters to the airship... [Note: Garbage Traveler, are you weak and just want to play, so you have to drag the little Lolitas with animal ears along with you? Or are you waiting for them to get scared until they wet themselves?] Hmm? Wet themselves? What the hell? Weier and Aina shouldnt be that faint-hearted, right... Chapter 254 - 204 Bad Brother, Aina Really Can’t Take It Anymore (〃＞﹏＜〃)!_1 Chapter 254: Chapter 204 Bad Brother, Aina Really Cant Take It Anymore (n)!_1[Traveler, welcome to the journey of dreams~] Luo Xi slowly opened his eyes. Sar?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. He was still sitting in the cockpit of the airship. The interior of the airship, since merging with Spark, had completely transformed. Runes were visible everywhere, and Luo Xi could even see the flowing runes occasionally pulsating on the transparent glass. Just what kind of inconceivable item had Liya created? No wonder Spark described her as an irreplicable masterpiece. In Luo Xis eyes, Spark had become like the sentient AIs from science fiction novels, capable of merging with more than just airships. He could try merging her with other machinery in the future. Given time, maybe he really could pilot a Gundam? Luo Xi turned to the little creature on his shoulder and said, "Spark, wait for me a moment, Master is going to grab a couple of people." Spark nodded and replied, "Spark understands~ But Master, please be aware that after the Furnace Core absorbs flawless Yuan Su, it can probably sustain the airships full-speed flight for one hour, after which it will need one hour of recovery time. Mainly because the original Essence Power Furnaces energy is insufficient and urgently needs replenishment." "One hour?" Luo Xi did a quick calculation. According to the texts description, it wasnt a problem for the airship to reach a speed of 100 to 200 kilometers per hour. Even if they only flew once a day, it was much faster than walking all day. The only problem was... the size was too large. It wouldnt fit in his current luggage space, which made it difficult to carry around. The next luggage upgrade required 3000 jin of Essence Crystals, equal to 30,000 gold coinsor over two billion in real-world currency. Last time, in order to upgrade the Dreamland luggage, he had already used up half of the Essence on the Dream Wand... Damn! Why does it feel like all the high-level equipment in this world is as expensive as robbery? I wonder how the other players are faring in this world... From the records of the Travel Agency, it seems not very well. [Note: Garbage Traveler, do you realize how poor you are now?] Ah, right, right, right, Damn Text, if youre so capable, can you give me some money? [Note: Of courseNo Damn it! Luo Xi tapped the cabin door, stood up, and jumped down. Lets see where my beloved Cat Cat and Little Wolf have gone off to. "Benefactor, what is this?" The headman of Vita Village and his grandchildren were standing outside the house. They had witnessed Luo Xi getting on the airship, and the airships acrobatic, high-speed flight. [Ding! The headmans reverence for you +100] [Ding! Kanas favorability towards you +20] [Ding! Qiong Ens reverence for you +50] The headman could never have imagined that the airship his son had cobbled together could be flown so flamboyantlyreverse flying, spinning, vertical diving... Are those even possible in a propeller-driven airship? No, it must be something the Benefactor did! When his son was still alive, he had seen him piloting this airship, but it wasnt nearly as fast and the controls were shaky, as if it could fall out of the sky at any moment. Kana, holding Xiao Bai, was star-struck. The boy beside her also looked on with a mix of respect and awe, having learned from his grandfather that these people had saved him. Luo Xi smiled and said, "Mr. Headman, its about time for us to leave. Where are they?" Kana pointed inside the house and said, "They went inside... Big brother, will you come back again?" The little Lolita was holding a doll, her moisture-laden grey-blue eyes looking up at Luo Xi. Since her father was also a Variant before his passing, Kana didnt harbor much disgust toward Mutant Patients, and to her, Luo Xi embodied a mysteriously handsome outsider, like a hand that plucked at the strings of a girls heart, irresistibly drawing her in for a closer look. Luo Xi walked over, gently stroked the girls head, and smiled, "Paths may cross again in mountain and river alike, there will always be a chance." "Can Kana go traveling with big brother too?" [Note: Garbage Traveler, your Luring the Little Lolita achievement +1] As soon as she said this, the headman and the boy next to her were startled, and before they could persuade the girl otherwise, Ainas voice came from inside the house. "No! Youre two years younger than Aina, so you should think about growing up first!" Aina came out, pulling a reluctant Weier with her, and said, "Sis, lets face reality. Well have to ride it sooner or later. We can only hope that Brother Luo Xi drives slowly." Luo Xi stroked his chin, deep in thought, "Cat Cat, are you afraid of heights?" But that wasnt right. He remembered Cat Cat could easily jump down from roofs. "Whos afraid of heights!" Cat Cat pouted, "But even if Im not afraid of heights, Id still be scared flying so high and so fast in that thing! How did you manage to fly the airship in such a frightening way?" "Was it terrifying?" Luo Xi was surprised. He looked at the headman and Kana and her brother. All three nodded together. Luo Xi: "..." He suddenly regretted coming to ride the airship in person. But it couldnt be helped, it had to be tried. Since ancient times, humanity has always longed for the sky, and now that he had the opportunity, not taking it for a spin would surely lead to regret. Weier had accepted reality and was taking the initiative to head towards the airship. But faced with the enormity of the vehicle, several times her height, and recalling what she had seen earlier, the corners of her eyes couldnt help but twitch in apprehension. Aina grabbed her sisters hand. The Little Wolf Girl also looked fearful: "Weier sister, if we all crash and die, Brother Luo Xi will still be resurrected, wont he?" Weier puzzled, "He should be... Doesnt this freak seem like he wont really die in our world? Why do you ask?" "What are you two talking about?" Luo Xi stood behind the two of them, each hand holding their clothes, placing them into the rear seats of the flying vessel. The cabin doors automatically closed, and black safety belts stretched out, tightly strapping the two sisters to their seats. Weier and Aina both exclaimed in surprise. Once inside the flying vessel, the sisters heartbeats began to race, and their blood pressure started to rise. Luo Xi also climbed into the pilots seat at the front of the vessel. "Then, were off," Luo Xi said to the village chiefs family with a smile, "Goodbye, everyone." "Big brother, goodbye!" Kana also waved at Luo Xi. "Farewell, benefactor. Please, take care," The village chief held his granddaughter in his arms, doffed his cap, and bowed. At the same time, he thought to himself that if they allowed this benefactor to stay in Vita Village for a while longer, his granddaughter might indeed have been led astray. The cabin doors slowly closed. A safety belt appeared around Luo Xis body, securing him in place. Golden points of light converged, and Spark perched on Luo Xis shoulder, glanced at the two in the backseat, and pouted, "Someone else came into Sparks inside again, even though only the master is allowed to." Weier was stunned for a moment in the backseat, saying, "Youre that little creature who speaks in such weird ways!" At the time Weier faced a life-and-death crisis under the Divine Tree, she had seen Spark with her own eyes inside the armor. Spark even wanted Luo Xi to drive her out. Spark snorted, "Humph, just sing praises of the masters greatness! Otherwise, be careful or Spark might throw you out halfway!" Weier: "..." Has this little one been trained by the pervert Luo Xi? Always with the master, master. Luo Xi said, "Spark, prepare for takeoff." Luo Xi merely glanced at the array of dials in front of him, anyway, he couldnt understand them. Spark swayed her white silk little leg on Luo Xis shoulder, happily saying, "Spark received! The power furnace is starting up!" Countless runes began to flow within the flying vessel. [Ding! Yuan Su Furnace Core has started, Essence Power Furnace has started, and connection is successful. Current Yuan Su reserves allow for the fastest speed flight for one hour.] "Spark...." Aina stared at Spark on Luo Xis shoulder, this being her first time seeing this little creature. Had her brother always been around such a small girl? Good thing this little one is too small. Check completed, crisis averted. Not as threatening as that woman from brothers world who could change size. Next time it will be up to Sister Weier to deal with her. Aina breathed a sigh of relief. However, when the flying vessel suddenly shuddered, rapidly soaring from the ground and bringing an unprecedented sense of high G-forces, the little wolf girls complexion turned deathly pale. "Brother Luo Xi... Aina wasnt ready yet, Aina wants to go to the restroom!" Weiers fur was all blown out, she grasped the safety belt on her body and also yelled, "Pervert, stop right now! I need to go to the restroom too!" "Huh? What did you say?" Luo Xi turned his head in confusion, the noise from the power furnaces startup was too loud, and he didnt hear them clearly. Boom! The flying vessel suddenly raised its nose, propeller blades began to spin wildly, ejecting a massive amount of thrust, and ascended almost vertically in a fashion similar to the fifth-generation jet fighters Luo Xi had seen in reality. "Damn!" "Ah! Meow!" "Brother Luo XiBrotherSister" The voices of the three mixed together within the cabin. Soon, the dull gray clouds were pierced, and the dazzling golden sunlight shined onto the flying vessel. About a minute later. The speed of the flying vessel gradually steadied, and it began to fly horizontally. Luo Xi could already see nothing but a sea of clouds below. Spark flew to the dashboard and asked, "Master, where are we going?" "Let me check first." Luo Xi took out a map and a compass, surveying the azure sky and the dazzling sun overhead, feeling oddly as if he had returned to reality. They must be at least several thousand meters above ground here. Luo Xi turned back and asked, "Cat Cat, Aina? Are you alright?" Weiers head hung low, her tail limply dangling under the seat as if she had passed out. Aina spoke with a (n) look, "Brother Luo Xi, youre so mean. Aina almost couldnt hold it back... It was really scary." The little wolf girl leaned slightly towards the cabin window for a look, then immediately withdrew her head, her tail tucked behind her, and her large wolf ears drooped. The cute wolf was frightened (n?). [Note: You terrible Traveler, youre so deliberately malicious! Do you really want to watch the two sisters have an accident and suffer social death?!] I didnt do anything, did I? And it hasnt happened yet! Chapter 255 - 205: Aina, you wet your pants and it’s all your fault! Black Dragon Bahamut! _1 Chapter 255: Chapter 205: Aina, you wet your pants and its all your fault! Black Dragon Bahamut! _1"Meow... what happened?" Weier lifted her head, her red eyes looking bewilderedly at Luo Xi in front of her, then towards Aina at the seat to the left. "Sister!" Aina curled up in her seat and weakly said, "Its so high up here. If I fall, Ill definitely turn into Little Aina!" "What Little Aina?" It was then that Weier realized where she was. During the airships takeoff, her consciousness had unexpectedly crashed. The bright sunlight, unobstructed by the thick clouds, entered the cabin directly through the airships translucent glass, along with the endless sea of clouds that lay beneath them. All of this was a sign that they had reached a very high place. Even Cat Cats fur had puffed up the instant she realized their height. The two sisters held hands, trembling as they huddled together, not daring to approach the edge or look around, with the seat belts being their only source of safety. Luo Xi felt somewhat helpless. "Is it that scary?" Although it was normal for cats and dogs to fear heights, Weier and Aina werent real cats and dogs. He himself had been scared only when the airship first climbed, which made his stomach feel a bit uneasy, but now that the airship had steadied, he could calmly enjoy the sea of clouds and distant scenery. Weier (n) said, "Youre cruel! I told you to stop to let us use the bathroom! You did that on purpose, didnt you? I almost couldnt hold it in!" [Note: Tsk, so it didnt come out after all~] Damn Text, what are you regretting! Spark flew to the space between the two sisters, proudly saying, "You cant even handle this? Look how awesome Master is. It seems the two of you cant satisfy Master! It should be Spark keeping Master company." Luo Xi: "?" Forget it, typical Spark behavior. Weier: Meow meow meow? What in the world is this strange sprite talking about? Upon hearing Sparks provocative words, Ainas wolf ears perked up as she tried to respond, "Dont underestimate Aina and sister! Bring it on! Aina is not scared! Even if I cant help it, even if I fall and turn into sauce, Aina is not afraid!" Weier frantically tugged her sisters tail, "Idiot, dont count me in on that!" Luo Xi: "..." [Ding! Your Happiness Level +100] He felt inexplicably happy. Is this the pleasure of traveling? [Note: Wrong! This is the pleasure of traveling with beast-eared Little Lolitas and teasing them!] Scram! Luo Xi asked, "Spark, how high up are we?" Spark deliberately poked the defenseless Ainas face before replying, "Let Spark think... Master, dont you have gauges?" Luo Xi looked down at the array of gauges in front of the pilot seat, searching for a while before he found one that seemed to show altitude. Four thousand meters. Not high enough. In the real world, this kind of propeller-driven airplane could climb above ten thousand meters. In the Dream World, with a different energy system and material technology, plus the alchemical materials like Mithril and the enchantments from Sparks runes, reaching above ten thousand meters shouldnt be a problem. "Can we keep going up? A little slower, please; I want to see the sky of this world." Spark cheered, "Of course, we can!" "No, dont!" Just as Cat Cat was about to object, she felt her hand being pulled forcefully. Aina gave Weier an encouraging look, "Sister Weier, believe that we can do it! We cant let a creature this small surpass us, right?" Weier () said, "Stupid sister, you can be jealous of that weird thing, but dont drag me into it!" The airships nose lifted again, and it began to accelerate upwards. Although not as steep as before, the ascent still elicited screams from the two sisters in the rear of the cabin. As the high-speed airstream battered the ship, the cabin shook as if it were about to disintegrate, but after the runes glow flickered, the vibration subsided. So, two minutes later, Luo Xi felt as if he had passed through a barrier. The airships speed stopped abruptly, and it floated steadily in the pure blue sky. Luo Xis eyes widened in surprise. At this altitude, aside from the silhouette of the Eternal Tree Noah connecting heaven and earth to the north, he could also see a new outline of a colossal tree in the southeast, and a nearly endless towering mountain range to the west with the outline of the top of its tree. Humanity always yearns for the sky, but upon truly entering it, one feels infinitely insignificant. [Ding! Traveler, you have reached the High Sky area] [Ding! Traveler, you have unlocked a new achievement: The First Footsteps Above High Sky] [Description: Only a traveler who is the first to come to the ten-thousand-meter altitude in the Dream World and witness the expanse of this world can unlock this achievement. Your accomplishment will be eternally etched in the epic journey of Otherworld Travelers.] High Sky area? Weier and Aina were equally stunned, even forgetting their fear of heights. Suddenly, a shadow spread over them, blocking the sunlight above. Clouds? This is ten thousand meters in the air; where could clouds come from? Even if there were clouds, surely they couldnt be so dense, could they? [Note: Silly Traveler, look up ahead; theres a surprise waiting~] Luo Xi, feeling something was off, looked up. The next moment, he saw it: a giant dragon, black as night and as large as a mountain range, flying towards them from even higher in the sky, its massive presence bringing an indescribable sense of oppression even from afar. Ainas tail bristled, "What is that?" Weiers red eyes narrowed as she shouted, "Thats... the legendary Dragon Origin Beast that lurks in the High Sky, of the Abyssal level. The legends are actually true! What kind of luck do we have... Quick, get down! Otherwise, were going to end up as its excrement!" [Ding! Recorded event: Abyssal-level Origin Beast in the High Sky] Luo Xi immediately said, "Spark, lets go!" Usually active, Spark now tiredly landed on Luo Xis shoulder, "Master, I cant move. The power reactor can be started here, but it cant generate any thrust..." Luo Xi: "!" Is that even possible? Seconds later, the pitch-black giant dragon had already flown toward them. Hovering a kilometer away, its golden vertical pupils fixed on them, not attacking immediately, as if pondering something. Aina clutched her sisters tail and said, shivering, "Brother Luo Xi, shall we jump down? Aina would rather turn into a paste than become the Origin Beasts poop!" Luo Xi: "..." He had already accepted the reality. Since they were going to die anyway, he might as well choose to rewind before the giant dragon devoured them. By the way, doesnt this airship have a parachute system? Later, he might consider installing a few. However, why had the giant dragon stopped? "Roar!" The deafening roar caused cracks to appear in the airships glass. The pitch-black dragon fixed its golden vertical pupils on them as it opened its gaping maw and exhaled. A super hurricane, comparable to a Force 18 typhoon, struck them. The airship immediately plummeted downwards. This time, all three people inside the cabin screamed together again. Meanwhile, the pitch-black giant dragon traced a beautiful curve in the High Sky, changing direction and shooting off into the distance like a meteor. Following under it, a pitch-black scale fell, following the airships downward trajectory, eventually adhering to the surface of the airship. sea??h th ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ... Eight minutes later. In a snowy forest. Inside a hastily erected makeshift tent, Weier poked her head out, her eyes red as she glared at Luo Xi outside: "Meow... you pervert Luo Xi, its all your fault, I... Aina hasnt wet herself since she was six... How are you going to compensate Aina!" From inside the tent, Ainas voice could be heard, "Sister, Aina is fine, you should change yourself first." "Stupid sister, dont expose me like that!" Zip The tents zipper was pulled up. Luo Xi, also helpless, turned and went towards the airship. It was only after a nearly five-thousand-meter fall that Spark finally regained control of the airship. But the overly thrilling free-fall had pushed the already overburdened Cat Cat and Aina to their limits. [Note: Wretched Traveler, your sinister thoughts have finally been realized. Was it intentional or an accident?] Who would have expected such an encounter? Luo Xi was also prepared to rewind, but it seemed like the giant dragon had come specifically to help them, blowing them downward. It seems he shouldnt fly too high without care in the future. That High Sky region probably has some restrictions; aside from creatures as powerful as that giant dragon, no one can ascend there. Luo Xi sighed. There are still five minutes left in synchronized time. After leaving, they should rest here for an hour and then continue on their journey. At this moment, he noticed something on the back of the airship shining. "Hmm?" Luo Xi walked over to take a look. It was a pitch-black scale, nearly half the size of a door, with strange patterns on it. [Ding! You have obtained Bahamuts scale fragment] [Bahamuts scale fragment] [Quality: Gold (Legend-)] [Category: Special Material] [Attributes: An exceptional forging material, if entrusted to a master craftsman, it can most certainly be used to craft epic-grade or higher equipment.] [Description: The Black Dragon Bahamut appreciates how such frail beings like you dare to look up to the Abyss. This is a small gift for you; maybe there will be a day when you meet again.] [Note: Wretched Traveler, surprised?] This time it really was a surprise. "Ah!" Ainas cry of alarm suddenly came from inside the tent. Luo Xi, without thinking, ran towards it, but Cat Cat, alert as ever, pulled down the zipper and poked her head out again: "Pervert, dont you dare come in! Otherwise, next time Ill tell Mom!" Luo Xi: "." This what is this tattle-tailing tone of a little schoolgirl. "Brother Luo Xi, Aina... theres so much blood, Aina is going to die!" "Stupid Aina, dont move around! And you pervert, hurry and boil some water, add brown sugar, and throw that package from the luggage in here to me!" Chapter 256 - 206: Is Aina Becoming a Grown-Up? Can She Have Children Now? Belgri Town_1 Chapter 256: Chapter 206: Is Aina Becoming a Grown-Up? Can She Have Children Now? Belgri Town_1Lost a lot of blood? Brown sugar in hot water? Luo Xi quickly guessed what had happened to Aina. The first menstruation for a girl usually occurs around thirteen or fourteen, with some earlier or later. Being within the age range of 11-15 is still considered normal. Ainas age would also be fourteen back in the real world, so in theory, it was indeed time for her to start. [Note: Damn Traveler, you missed the best chance with Cute Wolf! (Sigh~) Why not turn back time and make a move last night? Hurry up?] Goddamn hurrying up, Damn Text do you just not feel happy until you send me to jail, huh! Luo Xi suppressed the urge to rant at the Damn Text and took out a package from his travel bag containing his sisters necessities and handed it to Weier, who poked her Cat Cat head out. Under the normal synchronization of the Dream World, details are blurry when observed closely, but the vigilant look in the eyes of the Cat-eared Girl made him feel somewhat hurt. Do I look like the kind of person who would peep? "Dont come in here! Go and start a fire to boil water!" Weier warned Luo Xi again and took the package before closing the tent again. Luo Xi took out a kettle beside the tent, stuffed some snow into it, and lit a campfire to heat it up. The tent wasnt very soundproof, so the whispered conversations of the two sisters could be heard. "Weier sister, does this mean Aina isnt going to die?" "Dont talk nonsense, whos dying? This is something every girl goes through as she grows up, something that happens every month. Dont you know, after reading so many damn novels and stories?" "Aina usually only reads fantasy novels about adventures!" "Why are you so proud of that! You should learn some knowledge from me!" "I will in the future. Will Weier sister bleed too?" "Of course, it started two years ago on a snowy day. At that time, Sister thought she was about to die and wondered if I died, who would take care of Aina. Luckily, after asking the pharmacist, I found out it was just a false alarm... Dont I always feel uncomfortable for a few days every month? Thats when it happens." "No wonder... Aina thought Sister was irritable for a few days every month because of the Mutant Factor." "Hm?" "Will there be any changes for Aina then?" "Changes... seems like I can bear... bear children now?" "Then can Aina bear children for Brother Luo Xi?!" "No way, you foolish little sister, how old are you! Wait another three or four years!" "Then is Sister able to now?" "Me? I suppose I am..." "But Sister is only a little bit taller than Aina, right? In a year or two, Aina might become a lot taller than Sister." "Its not the same! Thats the influence of the Mutant Factor! You silly little sister, youre going to drive me insane! Besides, that pervert is a Loli-con; he might not like you once youve grown up." "Ah? I dont want that kind of thing, I wont grow up!" "Hmph thats not up to you! Eat more today!" S~ea??h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Note: Cat Cat is quite the planner, huh~] Luo Xi was originally smiling as he boiled the hot water, but his mouth twitched at the last comment. The two sisters bickering brought joy to anyone listening, even without petting them. But could you please leave me out of it? [Ding! Your Happiness Level +40] [Note: Damn Traveler, you dared to eavesdrop on the sisters private conversations in their boudoir. Watch out for the mother-in-law suddenly appearing to teach you a lesson!] Whos eavesdropping! And also, the mother-in-law wont be back anytime soon. Humph humph, my happiness is going to last a long while~ [Note: Bustard Traveler!] ... Liya, who had crossed the Shining Country and entered the territory of the Da Yan Empire, was passing through a city full of floral scents and slightly lifted an eyebrow as she looked back in the direction she had come from. That youth from another world, whom she had trusted so much and whom she had entrusted her daughter to, wouldnt disappoint her, would he? The man, who thought himself as clear as a mirror, wouldnt possibly do anything too immature to her two adorable daughters, would he? Unfortunately, the runic sequence of the Yuan Su Furnace Core and the main structure of the Rune Armor had already merged into a whole, and she couldnt reinsert her Projection to accompany her daughters... Once she returned home, shed have to see if there was enough time to replicate the method used to produce Luo Xis power armor. She wondered if Hercules, that bastard from the Heckmedea Family, was still alive? After all, he was hit by her full-powered Echo of Azure, Azure Fall before she and Weier fled. If he survived, he would be half-dead by now, right? Liya thought of her once husband and the family she had married into, her eyes devoid of any warmth, only an intense coldness. She wondered how her own family, Sophia, would treat her upon her return? What was the current state of relations with the Heckmedea family? No matter what, she had to go back and see. Just as Weier and Aina had been yearning for her return over the past three years, she too greatly missed her own mother and grandmother. Too bad that Weier might never see them again in her lifetime... .... [Traveler, you have delivered the prepared brown sugar hot water to the Cat Cat inside the tent.] ["Drink it well! Arent you going to call Brother Luo Xi in? Hes out there all alone, boiling water and fetching things for us, poor guy."] ["You feel sorry for him? Why not feel sorry for me! Hes not the one peeing his pants! We still have to ride that thing later. If I had known, I definitely should have gone with Mom!"] ["Cough, Sister, be gentler, Brother is going to hear you. And dont lie, Sister. When Brother was about to run away that time, you were sadder than Aina."] "Shut up, stupid sister!" Luo Xi smiled. Once they reached the next big town, they could consider taking a few days break to let Aina recover before discussing further plans. He also wanted to look for someone who could forge some equipment for him. The scale required at least a master-grade craftsman, equivalent to the level of the rune skills that Liya used to handle. He wondered if there were such people in the upcoming big town. If not, then in the next city, he would surely find one. Two hours later. In the yard, Luo Xi smoothly pierced a falling leaf with his sword and then set down the long sword, wiping his eyelids. The midday sun was extremely fierce, drenching his clothes and cheeks with sweat. Ai Xue pushed the window open to look into the yard and thought to herself that, despite being so powerful, her senior was still working so hard; she couldnt fall behind. Even if her beginners village was challenging, she must make it out of this damned place!.... The girl felt somewhat lost. Can I really do it? Luo Xi sat in the shade of the tree, reading the text. It was almost time to set off in the dream world. "Travelers, the three of you board the flying vessel powered by Yuan Su once again," "Although Weier and Aina are somewhat resistant, having already fallen from ten thousand meters high together makes subsequent trips easier. They both understand the capabilities of Spark; as long as we dont fly foolishly high, its unlikely to fall," "With the roaring of the flying vessels Furnace Core, you take to the skies once more, heading in the planned direction," "After your research, Traveler, you found that at its top speed, Spark can reach up to 700 kilometers per hour in horizontal flight. While this speed is nothing for modern jets, for a propeller-driven vessel, its incredibly fast. It means you could reach the capital of Shining Country, where the Eternal World Tree stands, in just one day," "Liya probably never imagined youd get your hands on such a flying vessel, did she?" "You are flying... Would you like to tease the two beast-eared girls in the cabin for some happiness?" Luo Xi: "..." Tease my ass. "Traveler, before you could enjoy the thrill of flying for a few minutes, you quickly discovered something chasing you from behind," "Its a purple giant bird, closely tailing your high-speed flight and constantly spitting balls of lightning at you," "Sparks evasion was timely, but it still got hit by the turning lightning ball," "Runes formed barriers to block the lightning balls," "Ding! The flying vessel used 50% of its stored Yuan Su to resist the attack, you can maintain top speed for 25 more minutes," "Ding! Your Fright Value +50," "The two beast-eared Lolitas inside the flying vessel also couldnt stop exclaiming in fear," "Aina just became an adult, hasnt had kids for brother yet, Aina doesnt want to die!" "Stupid Aina, dont grab my tail! Grab your own! Freak, think of something quick. Doesnt moms scroll have one for repelling Origin Beasts?" Luo Xi: "..." Actually, he had already used the scroll. But the scrolls from Liya could only repel Origin Beasts below Tier Four; they had little effect on Tier Four Lords. No wonder, despite having flying vessels, not many people used them in this world. Just flying around could attract attacks from Origin Beasts, and the longer one flew, the more Origin Beasts might take notice. If youre not strong enough, playing with these things is like serving yourself up as food for Origin Beasts. Let alone the black giants dragons above the high sky. The skies of this world did not belong to humanity. If only there was something that could scare them off... Could that giant dragon scale work? "Traveler, you take out the Fragment of Bahamuts Scale from your luggage," "The purple giant bird that was relentlessly pursuing you suddenly stiffened up, halting in midair. After about ten seconds, you left it behind by several kilometers," Heck yeah! Thank you, Black Dragon Big Brother, for the treasure! Luo Xi touched the rough, hard bumps on his head, wondering if he would one day turn into a dragon if his mutation continued. Black Dragon Bahamut, does that mean there are Red Dragons? White Dragons, and so on? Though that seems pretty cool... "Note: Damn Traveler, dont you want to be human anymore? I can turn you into a little Red Dragon Lolita, you know~" How the hell does that have anything to do with being cool? Thats just plain cute! He wanted to pet the beast-eared girls, not get petted! "After you took out the scale, your flight path has become clear. The Origin Beasts on the ground and in the sky started avoiding you like the plague," "Surprisingly, both Weier and Aina showed fear towards the scale as well, the sisters didnt dare to lift their heads to look at the scale placed on the co-pilots seat," "Cat Cat guessed the origin of the scale, and asked softly, How did you get it?" "Traveler, you joked: A reward from Black Dragon Big Brother?" "Cat Cat turned her head away, ignoring you," Twenty minutes later. "Ding! Traveler, youre the first person to use a flying vessel to traverse two hundred kilometers in such a short time. You have earned the title: Flight Master (equipping this title allows you to operate flying vessels with your eyes closed)," Fxxk! Whats the use of this damn title, isnt Spark enough? "Ahead, you see a town much smaller than Winter City but miles ahead of Vita Village. Its home to a Divine Tree a hundred meters tall, blessing the tens of thousands of residents below," "The Hollow Flower is nearby this town," "Ding! You have unlocked the region: Belgri Town." Chapter 257 - 207 Can You Lay Hands on Such a Little Girl?_1 Chapter 257: Chapter 207 Can You Lay Hands on Such a Little Girl?_1[Just as the reserve Yuan Su in the furnace core of the Spark had almost been depleted, you guys stopped about three kilometers away from Belgri Town in the wilderness.] [The flying ship couldnt be stowed in the Dreamland bag at any time, so it was necessary for you to hide it in a secret location, to avoid being discovered.] [You were in the midst of searching...] [After searching through the snow-laden forest, Traveler, you found a cave and called Spark over to hide the flying ship inside, doing some basic concealment at the entrance.] [A thick black liquid flowed out from the flying ship, reassembling into an iron sphere; you picked up the cap on the sphere and placed it on your head, put away the Spark, and then headed to the highest point of the hill.] [Weier and Aina followed behind you, and the three of you looked out at the large town in the distance, taking out the map to search for the Hollow Flower.] [According to the map, the Hollow Flower was to the west of Belgri Town, but the scale of the map was too large, making it difficult to determine the exact distance, so finding it would take some time.] [Traveler, you asked Cat Cat and Aina if they had any desire to enter Belgri Town.] [Weier told you that Belgri Town had a fairly big reputation externally and shed also heard about it back in Winter City; the Lord here is said to be a good person whos willing to accept Mutant Patients, although most people scoff at this and dont really believe it.] [Many people think this is a lie fabricated by the Lord here to lure people in to mine for him.] [Traveler, you agreed wholeheartedly.] [A good person?] [Having witnessed the deep-seated discrimination against Mutant Patients in this world, you found it hard to believe there are many true good people among the citys rulers. Even the village chief of Vita Village would have driven you away without hesitation if you hadnt done him a favor.] [Traveler, you said, "Then lets go check out the Hollow Flower first; its not necessary to enter the town, considering we have enough supplies for now."] [Aina was having some difficulty walking now, so you, Traveler, carried her on your back, and due to the warmth brought about by the Essence absorbed by the Furnace Core, Little Wolf Girl soon fell asleep on your back.] [Listening to the tired breathing of the girl beside your ear, Traveler, you couldnt help feeling a bit guilty.] [This day had indeed been tough for this child, taking her up to the heavens and down to the depths...] [Note: Damn Traveler, its your fault for tiring Little Wolf to such an extent, even causing her to bleed~] Luo Xi: "..." I suspect youre driving at something, Damn Text, but I have no evidence. [Weier walked by your side, noticing her sister sleeping soundly, and spoke in a low voice: "Pervert, you absolutely must not tell anyone about todays events! Otherwise, I will take Aina away... I will ignore you from then on!"] [Traveler, you were slightly startled.] [What about today?] [Traveler, you looked over Cat Cat and when you saw her in a new pair of cotton pants, you realized what Cat Cat was referring to.] ["...Wetting yourself?"] [Ding! Weiers Anger Value against you +99.] ["Dont talk nonsense!"] [Weier angrily threw a punch at your head in embarrassment.] [Ding! Your Happiness Level +50.] [The more irritated Cat Cat got, the happier you became, Traveler, having grasped another little secret of this tsundere cat-eared girl~] [Note: Damn Traveler, you should say, Cat Cat, you wouldnt want others to know youve had an accident, right? and then you could blackmail her, hehehe~] Luo Xi: "..." This is truly a classic Island Country gameplay. Damn Text, you really know how to play. [You were trekking through the snow forest...] [Accelerate?] [No] Seeing that walking would take time, Luo Xi took up the long sword again and started practicing in the yard. "Cloudflow Sword Strike." The silver long sword pierced through a falling leaf with precision. Luo Xi casually swept the leaf aside with his sword. Unlike before, when walking and other actions were taken in the Dream World, real-world time was also perfectly usable; he didnt need to waste time with an idle accelerated grind. About twenty minutes later, the text reacted. [Traveler, you arrived at the western direction of Belgri Town and started searching in the vicinity.] [However, here was a flat Snow Field; if there was anything out of the ordinary, it should have been visible at first glance, but you found no sign of the Hollow Flower.] [Was it covered by the heavy snow?] [If that was the case, searching for anything in this Snow Field would be immensely difficult.] [Weier bit her red lips and said: "Something feels off, let me see the map again."] [Traveler, you handed the large map over to Cat Cat.] [Cat Cat spread out the map on the snow-covered ground, and after careful study, she suddenly realized, "This map is from a very long time ago, at least from before the Pan-Continental Chronology was implemented. Back then, the Hollow Flower was still to the west of Belgri Town, but over thousands of years, Belgri Town must have expanded quite a bit, and the Divine Tree has become stronger. Judging by the topographic trend here, that Hollow Flower is probably now within Belgri Town itself!"] ["Its been enveloped by the town?"] [As a Traveler, you couldnt help but feel a headache coming on. Unless you abandoned your quest here, youd have to find a way into the town.] [However, the next Hollow Flower is at least eight or nine hundred kilometers away.] [Weier suddenly lowered her voice and said to you, "Weirdo, someone is coming this way!"] [As a Traveler, you perked up and looked in the direction Cat Cat was gesturing toward.] [At the end of the snow field, a group of people were approaching, clad in worn cotton garments, carrying big and small bundles, all kinds of luggage, including men, women, old, and young, numbering around twenty.] [The moment they saw you, they too seemed a bit surprised for a moment and exhibited a rather alert demeanor.] [However, after seeing the cat tail behind Weier and the wolf tail hanging from behind Aina, who you were carrying, they relaxed a bit.] [As a Traveler, you also noticed that these people seemed to be Mutant Patients, with some of them having significant Mutation, as seen by the extensive fur on their faces.] [They walked past you through the snow, heading toward Belgri Town, each one of them looking hurried as though they needed to verify something.] [A young fellow, about your age, with a pair of horse ears on his head and a tuft of a horses tail at his back, carrying a large bag, came up smiling and asked, "Did you also hear about the Lords graciousness here and come to resettle in Belgri Town? Why arent you continuing on?"] S~ea??h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Ding! Talent: Repulsion of the Same Sex has been triggered; the horse-tailed fellows favorability towards you -50.] ["The Lords graciousness?"] [As a Traveler, you exchanged a glance with Cat Cat.] ["What, you dont know?"] [The young fellow glanced at you, surprised, "The Lord here, Andrew Volke, is willing to accept Mutant Patients into the city. The terms are simple; no need to mine in the bottomless Essence Crystal veins, no need to be slaves to those high-ranking people, just complete the breeding tasks he sets."] ["And if you have some kind of skill, Ive heard that Lord even allows you to open a shop in the town."] Luo Xi looked at the text and felt it unbelievable. Could it be that Lord Andrew also has family members who are Variants? Is that why hes so friendly toward Mutant Patients? [As a Traveler, you felt your hand being tugged by Cat Cat, and you turned to look.] [A spark of interest seemed to light up in Weiers red eyes.] [She whispered in your ear, "Why dont we go into the town and have a look? Theres not much meat back in Vita Village. If possible, we could buy some more food in town. Aina has been growing lately and needs to eat more to grow up well. Besides, we can also exchange for some Essence Crystals. Im worried that someday the Essence in your hat would suddenly run out, the airship would fall, and both Aina and I would really turn into saucemixed together kind."] Luo Xi: "..." Cat Cats concerns were indeed necessary. Just like the previous purple giant bird, a single strike could consume 50% of the Sparks Essence reserve for defense. Another hit, and wouldnt the airship go down? [The horse-tailed fellow looked at you in puzzlement.] [He said, "If youre not going, then should I go ahead?"] ["Lets go together."] [As a Traveler, you adjusted Aina, who was sleeping soundly on your back, turned around, and, along with Weier, followed the horse-tailed fellow toward the direction of the town.] [Weier asked, "Can we, Mutant Patients, freely come and go once we enter Belgri Town?"] ["As long as you dont sign a contract with the Lord here and decide not to stay long, you can come and go as you please. But who wouldnt want to live in a stable and big town? Honestly, I came here because someone went back to our village and called us."] [The horse-tailed fellow tossed his large bag and laughed, "Back in my village, I was an apprentice blacksmith. I want to see if theres a chance to continue learning the trade here and then open my own smithy. In a few years, take a wife, have kidsthen my old mans spirit in heaven would be relieved."] [As a Traveler, you could hear the endless yearning for the future in the young mans tone.] [Those with hope in their hearts, no matter how difficult the current situation, always smile towards what lies ahead.] ["How about you guys? You dont look like you plan to live here long-term, or else youd have already joined those guys eager to move on."] [As a Traveler, you said, "We just want to get some supplies from the town and then continue traveling."] ["Travelers, huh? You guys are impressive."] [The horse-tailed fellow looked at you with astonishment, then realized something and said, "Sorry, I forgot to tell you my name. Im Kyro."] [As a Traveler, you and Cat Cat also told him your names.] [Kyro laughed and asked, "Are you three siblings?"] ["Nope, Aina is going to be Brother Luo Xis wife in the future, and the sister might be too, but it depends on her really~"] [A soft, sleepy voice came from behind you, the Traveler.] [Aina rubbed her eyes, very drowsy, and said something that could potentially cause your social death.] ["Wife... Both of them? Is that really okay for someone so young?"] [Kyros face was a picture of shock as he looked at you, then at the Little Wolf Girl on your back, and then at Cat Cat by your right hand.] [Ding! Kyros alertness towards you +50.] Luo Xi: "...." [Note: Damn Traveler, you dare to make a move when they are that young, is that really okay?! from the shocked bystanders] Chapter 258 - 208 Double Flight. Sister Set Meal? Even you have it, Garbage Traveler~_1 Chapter 258: Chapter 208 Double Flight. Sister Set Meal? Even you have it, Garbage Traveler~_1"Traveler, you have no interest in explaining to this passerby just how much effort it took to coax these two girls...to take these two girls on a trip with you." "You gently set Aina down from your back and ruffled her hair, smiling, Dont overthink it, shes my little sister. Isnt it normal for girls her age to always be nagging and dreaming about marrying their big brother?" "Kyro looked skeptical, But my sister back home, she used to be okay as a kid, now she just calls me a useless person who can only do blacksmithing all day. Are there really sisters who, even after growing up, still cling to their brothers like you said?" "Humph." "Aina happily nuzzled the palm of your hand with her head and cooperated by saying, Aina likes big brother the most!" "It seems your sister really does cling to you a lot..." "Kyro watched you with a bit of envy." <>Ding! Kyros Envy Value toward you +66 <>Ding! Weiers Anger Value toward you +30 "Weier kicked you hard: Aina is my sister, not yours! Dont think just because she calls you brother that youre her real brother!" Hmm? This sudden surge of competitive desire from Cat Cat, whats going on? "So theyre not actually siblings, and there are two sisters..." "Kyros envious gaze changed into one that seemed to be looking at someone luring a Little Lolita, like a bustard." <>Note: Spot on, indeed! "Traveler, you found his gaze somewhat irritating and changed the subject, So your little sister didnt come?" "Kyro looked at you suspiciously: What do you want to do with my sister whos only ten?!" Luo Xi: "..." It felt like todays conversation just wasnt going to continue. "Weier asked, So, Mr. Kyro, did you come here alone?" "Not alone." "Kyro pointed to the people walking ahead, Theyre from the same village as me. I just came ahead to try things out. If the lord here is really as kind-hearted as the rumors say and the job of tending animals is simple, then I might consider bringing all my family over, especially since our villages Counterfeit God Tree is about to die out." "Counterfeit God Tree?" <>Item recorded: Counterfeit God Tree "You dont know?" Kyro was surprised. "Seeing your baffled expression, Weier whispered beside you, Its the pseudo Divine Tree that sometimes randomly appears on this land, offering some protection. Theyre usually about ten meters tall with a protective range of about fifty meters in radius. They can withstand an Origin Beast of calamity level at most and have a lifespan of around fifty years, unlike the Winter Divine Tree or the Belgri Divine Tree, which have nearly endless life cycles." "Kyro said with a wry smile, Exactly. Our villages Counterfeit God Tree is already 48 years old. In two years, it will wither and die. By then, even a common Origin Beast could tear us to shreds. Thats why we have no choice but to look for a new place to live." Luo Xi pondered. No wonder Variants could survive on the Snow Field; they had these lower-grade Divine Trees for protection. Normal humans didnt value these low-grade trees that couldnt provide a path to Sublimation, so they left them to the Mutant Patients. But a protective radius of only fifty meters... compared to the Winter Divine Tree, and even the Divine Tree in Vita Village, it was indeed too small. Apart from the land necessary for production and life, there wasnt much living space left. However, this might be the last mercy this world showed to the Mutant Patients, right? As you spoke, you had already arrived at the western edge of Belgri Towns wall. Just like Winter City, it too was enveloped in a golden Glow that pressed tightly against the edge of the city wall, keeping away those small-timers wanting to sneak in. Several guards were letting people into the town one by one. Those with Variant features were also allowed in. One of the guards shouted from a high platform, "Thank the Lord Andrew for his mercy; no matter if youve been infected with the Mutant Factor or not, as long as you work hard here, Lord Andrew will grant you the right to live! You better not disappoint Lord Andrews heart! Otherwise, even if Lord Andrew doesnt hold you responsible, Ill have to teach you guys a good lesson!" "Traveler, you listened to the guards triumphant voice and inexplicably thought of the skin-flaying team leader from your company before you quit." "He was just a slightly higher-ranking worker, yet he endlessly criticized his fellow workers mercilessly, taking advantage of his bit of power." As the people in front entered the town one by one, the line quickly moved to you. "All four of you are Variants? Take your tags." After glancing at your Mutation features, the guard was too lazy to get up; he tossed four tags to you, lazily saying, "Go on, theres a countdown on the tag. You can stay unconditionally for two days on Grace Ring Street in Belgri Town. But if you lose your tags, or if the countdown on the tags runs out and the guards discover it, dont think about running or being slick, it can be fatal." "Traveler, you looked at the tag in your hand; it was similar to the pass card for the Inner City of Winter City, with a 48 hours countdown on it." "Kyro respectfully asked, Guard sir, is there any way to extend the time?" "The guard said impatiently, If you want to live here long-term, youll need to work hard. You Variants should sign a contract with the Lord to breed Snowworms. Then, you can live here permanently, and the more Snowworms you breed each year, the more youll be rewarded. Now, dont block the way, get moving!" Luo Xi had a peculiar expression. He was starting to feel like the lord of this Belgri Town had developed a series of operations very similar to the exploitation of laborers by capitalists in the real world. "Traveler, urged by the guard, you entered Belgri Town together." "Unlike Winter City, upon entering the town, there was a very bright and tidy street. The snow on the road was swept clean, and the street stretched continuously into the distance along the city wall. Shops on both sides were frequented by many pedestrians, including Variants and ordinary humans." "Weiers mouth opened slightly." "She, too, hadnt expected Belgri Town to be like this." [Can a town with tens of thousands of people really create an atmosphere that is infinitely better than Winter City?] [Is the Lord here really so merciful and kind?] [Kyro has already entered Grace Ring Street with an excited face.] [Traveler, you and Cat Cat, along with Aina, keep up with him, but a few heavily made-up, beautiful women see you and hurry over, tugging at each other beside you, trying to get you to stay at their familys inn.] ["Come to my place, you can stay a whole day for just six hours!"] ["My place only takes five hours!"] ["Four hours!"] [The women started to compete with one another.] [Traveler, you interrupt them, asking, "Is it possible to not use gold coins for money here?"] [The flamboyantly dressed woman shook her head: "Gold coins? Youd have to exchange them for residency time anyways, one gold coin can only be exchanged for half a days worth, its a huge loss."] [Traveler, you and Cat Cat look at each other, and you suddenly pick up Aina and run toward the interior of Grace Ring Street, leaving the regretful women behind.] [On the road, there are many mutant patients like you, entering the shops along the street, either to eat and drink or to enjoy various services.] [This place is very similar to the pedestrian street from your world, Traveler.] Luo Xi increasingly felt something was off about this town from the descriptions.] ["Could the mayor of this town be a time traveler?"] Or are there other players, the real first batch from a few months ago, who created this kind of business model here?] No matter, his main purpose was to find Hollow Flowers, not to work for the Lord here and raise those damn Snowworms.] [Traveler, you begin searching for the possible location of the Hollow Flowers.] [But searching aimlessly like this is like searching for a needle in a haystack.] [You asked a shop owner for information.] [The proprietor looked puzzled: "Fossils? Whats that? Right, if you pay one hours worth of time, you can enjoy an equivalent hour of massage service. Do you need it? Pay a little more time, and you can get the indecent kind! The twin sisters combo!"] Huh? [Note: What even is a twin sisters combo, you garbage traveler? Youve got that too!] Shut up! [The enthusiasm of the proprietor made it seem like they wanted to devour you.] [You three swiftly left the massage parlor, but after you came out, someone else entered.] ["Boss lady, give me the twin sisters combo! The indecent kind!"] ["Sure thing!"] Luo Xi sat under a tree, squinting his eyes.] This definitely smells like some players handiwork in industrial reform, doesnt it? [Do you want to use the Talent: Immersion (Joy)?] [Yes] He decided to see for himself what kind of place this really was. .... In the center of Belgri Town. Inside the Lords manor, in a study filled with the scent of books.] A boy of about ten handed a notebook to the old man at the desk and asked shyly, "Teacher, are the alchemy formulas I copied down correct?"] ["Let me have a look," the old man said.] After glancing at the notebook, he smiled, "Completely correct. In just one day, Ryan, your talent in alchemy is truly good."] [The boy laughed proudly.] ["Speaking of which, Ryan," the old man asked casually, "why did your father establish such a strange place as Grace Ring Street? If he wanted them to work, couldnt he just force those useless Variants directly, like the people I saw outside the manor, who cant resist?"] ["Those are people who have already signed contracts and naturally cant resist," the boy hesitated for a moment before adding, "Father Lord once said, its only by letting them enjoy living here that the Variants willingly sign contracts to work hard for him. Once they sign a contract, its impossible for them to rebel. Everything of theirs belongs to my father."] ["I see, so its the power brought about by the Belgri Divine Tree, the path to Sublimation?"] the old man inquired.] ["Yes, Father Lord calls it the power of Contract," the boy confirmed.] A flicker passed through the old mans grey eyes as he smiled, "Your father is really impressive. No wonder so many people are obsessed with Belgri Towns Snowworms."] Sear?h the N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

What do you do in your world when you normally talk and walk with us?" "I practice swordplay." Luo Xi replied without hesitation. "Oh..." [Ding! Weiers suspicion towards you +20] Could this pervert really be that diligent? Weier wasnt quite convinced. "Lets go ahead and leave." Even during this short interval, many shopkeepers had taken the initiative to approach them, asking if they needed any services. Food, clothes, taverns, massages, baths, and various other services, with beautiful women yelling out and actively soliciting customers... Luo Xi also roughly confirmed his suspicions. This town was ninety-nine percent likely to have been influenced by players in the real world, with the remaining one percent possibility being that an individual who could be considered a pioneer of the Otherworld had been born here. Just then, Luo Xi noticed that Ainas complexion seemed a bit off. "Whats wrong?" he asked. The Little Wolf Girl pursed her lips and said, "Brother Luo Xi, the scent of these shop owners is mostly very fake. On the surface, they seem very enthusiastic about serving the customers, but in reality, they probably look down on them." Weier frowned, "Are all people like that?" Aina nodded, "At least those Ive smelled are like that." "Dont block the way on the road!" "Make way!" The hustle and bustle of voices came from behind. Luo Xi turned his head and saw a group of people who looked very excited rushing into the ring street. At a glance, there were at least hundreds of them. They flowed into the various shops and began their consumption for the day. With just a quick look, more than half of these people were Variants. There were cat-eared, cat-tailed Mutant Patients similar to Weier, belonging to the Cat Clan. There were also Minotaurs, sheep-headed people, and of course, many pure-blood ordinary humans. Almost everyones face was filled with joy and excitement, much like primary school students who had just gotten out of school and entered an unlicensed internet caf to play games. Luo Xi looked toward the location of the Divine Tree within Belgri Town. Were these people from inside the town? This bustling and harmonious scene that seemed too perfect to be true... If this was the real Xia country, he would find it quite normal, but this place wasnt. History has proven that when some enjoy a life of pleasure and luxury, there must be others who bear the burden and march forward for these peoples extravagant lives. If even the Mutant Patients, the underclass of this world, could enjoy life here, Then who would be the ones bearing the burden in this place? "Brother Luo Xi, Sis, Aina feels like theyre all so strange..." With her tea-gold eyes fixed on the people, Aina said, "Its like, its like theyve all been controlled by something. Although their scents seem stable, they have still fallen into a frenzied state." Cat Cat listened, completely confused. "What are you talking about, Aina?" Luo Xi: "..." He did recall something, however. Suddenly, sharp cries rang out. "No, dont kick me out!" There was a guard at the front holding a pig-eared, pig-nosed girl, who resembled the female protagonist from an Anime series Luo Xi had seen as a child. In the guards hands, she wept bitterly. Luo Xi: "!" [Ding! Your Shock Value +50] [Note: Garbage Traveler, do you also want to pet this type of Beast Eared Girl?] Pet my hammer! Im not a indiscriminate Furry enthusiast! The guard simply said coldly, "Your stay isnt long enough, either leave town, pay gold coins to extend your stay, or go raise Snowworms, choose one." "I, Ill raise Snowworms, but can I just do it for one month?" "Thats possible, come with me to sign a contract." "Okay!" After the guard released the pig-nosed girl, her tears turned to joy, and she happily hopped along behind the guard. Afterwards, many curious onlookers followed them. Someone exclaimed near Luo Xi, "This place is too good to us Mutant Patients! Once I spend all the money I brought, Im going to sign a contract with Lord Andrew to raise Snowworms. I want to live here for a long time!" "Yeah, yeah!" "Why wait until after spending all your money, just go straight away!" "Long live Lord Andrew!" "Long live!" In a moment, those newly arrived Mutant Patients, like they had been injected with an adrenaline rush, boisterously chanted long live for the Lord. Luo Xi looked at these people, completely taken by the atmosphere, and wondered if this wasnt a setup, right? Weier and Aina also looked confused, having seen too much of the worlds cold realities on Grey Stone Street in Winter City. They couldnt bring themselves to believe that this town was really this good to Mutant Patients. Chapter 260 - 209: The adorable wives are still too young, let’s wait a few more years_2 Chapter 260: Chapter 209: The adorable wives are still too young, lets wait a few more years_2This place can only be described in three words. Not right! Weier punched Luo Xi in the waist and whispered, "Pervert, have you noticed that this area of the ring street is on the very outer edge of the town? The roads to the inner part of the town have been blocked off. The thousands of people just now must have come from inside the town. We could try asking someone about it." "Hmm, we could ask." Luo Xi walked towards a shop selling some kind of soup delicacy, where many mutant patients were drinking soup inside. His gaze swept across the sign. "Snowworm soup..." It required five silver coins a bowl, or two hours of time. Ridiculously expensive. Although for them right now, five silver coins werent much, but consider that a single silver coin could be the food budget for many of this worlds lower class for ten to fifteen days. When Aina first met Cat Cat, she could be happy for a long time just because of one silver coin. Luo Xi approached the counter and said, "Boss, give me a bowl of snowworm soup." The boss smiled and said, "Would the customer like to pay with time? Or..." Luo Xi tossed a gold coin onto the counter. The bosss face immediately turned cold, and he returned five silver coins. "The customer will have to wait a moment. Here is your number plate." The tone was equally cold. Luo Xi narrowed his eyes. Not happy even when making money? Luo Xi, holding a small wooden plate and accompanied by two Lolitas, found a table with one person sitting at it and sat down. This person was a mutant patient with fine snake scales covering his face. He glanced at Luo Xi and his companions and continued to bury his head in drinking his soup. There was nothing much in the soup except for a snow-white, gel-like substance. Yet he drank it with great pleasure, showing an extremely happy expression with every sip. Luo Xi tapped the table twice with his finger and asked, "Sir, may I ask you a question?" The snake man shook his head: "No, unless you give me time." "Would one hour be enough?" "That would suffice." The snake mans face lit up with joy as he put down his spoon and took out his card. Luo Xi also took out his card and, after a series of operations, one hour was deducted from his 48 hours of time and transferred to the snake mans side. The snake man said contentedly, "What do you want to ask? Hurry up." Luo Xi pointed to the east, "Brother, are you a resident here?" "I just got here." The snake man proudly said, "But Ill soon be a permanent resident. My snowworm breeding skills are already quite good. Once I get better snowworm eggs and bring more benefits to the kind Lord, Ill inevitably become a permanent resident of this town!" Luo Xi: "..." This guy looks as if hes been successfully brainwashed by the leadership PUA. "Brother, did you also just arrive?" The snake man took a glance at Luo Xi and the two Lolitas beside him and immediately said, "Do you need me to show you around? I assure you, Ill pass on all the knowledge of breeding snowworms to you. Youll just need to give me 2... 1 hour of time a day!" "Were just passing through." Weier asked, "Is the environment inside the town also good?" "Of course, its very good." The snake man smiled and said, "Those who just arrived or are passing by can only stay at the inns on Grace Ring Street. But as soon as you sign a contract to breed snowworms, you can move further inside. The prices are very cheap. I just came here last week. After signing the contract, I was assigned a cheap house. The Lord is really a super nice person!" "Number 108, come and get your soup." "Im off." Luo Xi signaled Cat Cat with his eyes, then got up and went to the front desk.

[Snowworm Soup] [Quality: White (Common ++)] [Category: Food] [Property: The more you drink, the more you want, and its unbearable not to drink it for a day] [Description: Great strength brings miracles!] Luo Xi could only say that this thing was just like poppy husks or cough syrup, wasnt it? The lord here uses this stuff to lure people in; hes utterly wicked... He took advantage of the lack of people around and directly stashed the entire bowl of soup into his dream bag, and then left the store with Cat Cat and Aina. Luo Xi said, "Lets try to find the Hollow Flower again. If we still cant find it, then we should prepare to leave." Weier nodded in agreement. The atmosphere here also made her somewhat uncomfortable. When they passed a shop with the clanging sounds of blacksmithing, Luo Xi stopped. Luo Xi saw someone at the entrance, with blond hair and deflated horse ears. Feeling something, the man turned around, and upon seeing Luo Xi and the others, he immediately waved and said with a smile, "You guys are here too." This must be the Kyro described in the text, right? Luo Xi nodded and said, "Yeah, Kyro, what do you think of this place?" "Great! I cant believe such a place exists." Kyro said excitedly, "I asked the master here, and he said he was willing to take me as an apprentice, as long as I can raise Snowworms here." "Snowworms again? What on earth is that?" "Snowworm is a common Tier 0 Origin Beast." A dark-complexioned master emerged from the shop, smiling, "Do you all want to join as well?" Looking at these Variants, the master struggled to contain his excitement. A full four people! His blacksmith shop attracted far fewer people than those food service places. If he could make this deal happen, with the commission from these four individuals, he might be able to get his son out. The master craftily enticed, "The work here is really easy, raising Snowworms is also a breeze, and life is incredibly comfortable. Many people who come here never want to leave." Luo Xi ignored the masters words and pulled Kyro outside. "Where are you going?" The master immediately became anxious. Who could bear it when a bird in hand was about to fly away? However, when the master caught up, Luo Xi pushed him back into the blacksmith shop and then took Kyro further away. Weier and Aina followed closely behind him. Kyro, puzzled, said, "Brother, what are you doing?" Luo Xi looked at the young man with sprightly horse ears and said softly, "Kyro, I think its better for you to leave this town." "Why leave?" Swinging his arm, Kyro laughed, "I want to continue refining my blacksmithing skills here. Sooner or later, I will go from a regular blacksmith to a craftsman capable of forging items infused with Mithril, until I become a Master Craftsman!" "So I wont be leaving!" "Master Craftsman..." Luo Xi was silent for a while, then said, "Is this your dream?" "Dream? Maybe," Kyro replied nonchalantly. "I just want a better life here and to bring my family over. Anything else doesnt matter to me." "However, this place might not be able to help you realize your dream. Theres something wrong with those Snowworms," Luo Xi said. Pointing at the people in the nearby shops, Kyro asked in confusion, "Then are their smiles all fake? They all say that raising Snowworms is simple and that the lord is kind. Are these people lying?" Luo Xi didnt say anything further. After all, they were just passing strangers. Since he was so determined, it seemed meaningless to keep persuading him. He said, "Were leaving now." With a bright smile, Kyro said, "Yeah, goodbye, and see you next time. If I have my own shop by then, come by, and Ill give you a discount." "Also, Luo Xi brother, your lovely wives are still too young; its best to wait a few more years." A twitch formed at the corner of Luo Xis mouth as he watched him walk back. Like a sun-facing flower, full of hope for the future. Yet for some reason, Luo Xi felt a little sad. [Ding! You have triggered the Side Quest: Grace Ring Street (Part 1)] [Quest Brief: This town seems bustling, but perhaps theres something off? Traveler, whether you want to explore its peculiarities is up to you. After you have had some contact with the people in the town, the quest will update accordingly.] [Reward: None at this time] [Description: Traveler, what do you want to do now?] [Note: Youre a trash Traveler who walked all the way from Winter City; what is there in this small place that makes you hesitant?] Luo Xi suddenly looked up, gazing into the distance. "I want to see the truth of this place." After all, I am a Traveler from another world. Chapter 261 - 210: Just a perverted fondling hand, what’s so cool about it?_1 Chapter 261: Chapter 210: Just a perverted fondling hand, whats so cool about it?_1[Remaining synchronization time: 3 minutes and 20 seconds] Luo Xi glanced at the text. The time for this session was almost over. Even now, with a total of 70 minutes of manageable synchronization time each day, he still felt it wasnt enough. Many things were simply not clear through text descriptions alone; one had to see them with their own eyes to be sure, especially when it came to combat. He always felt it was unreliable to leave it to the text. However, without frequently triggering temporary synchronizations, for now, he had to use the time sparingly. Weier suddenly looked up and said, "Are you about to leave?" "Three minutes left." Luo Xi replied, "Right, I want to stay in this city for a night. There are some things that might only be seen by delving deeper into the town. The Hollow Flower should also be along Ring Street, so we can look for it together." Weier asked oddly, "Are you sure youre not just here for those weird services around here?" Luo Xi said indignantly, "How could that be!" Someone shouted, "Passing singles, Variant brethren, come take a look! We have Cat Clan, Dog Clan, Bird Clan, all kinds of Variant females. If you have enough time to pay, you can even have a group of women serve you and feel like a king for a whole day and night!" Luo Xi subconsciously looked over. Then, his shin was kicked. "What are you looking at!" Flushing, Weier glared at Luo Xi: "Didnt we agree to leave today if we couldnt find the Hollow Flower?" Before Luo Xi could explain, Cat Cat said faintly, "I guess, you feel that something is off about this place, right? And you think you wont really die, so you want to meddle in everything. But have you thought about me and Aina? Right now, we are together..." Before Weier could chastise Luo Xi a few more words, a warm hand suddenly rested on her shoulder. The girls body trembled slightly. Did this pervert think she was like the moron Aina, who would be happy just being touched a few times? Thats underestimating her too much... Weier wanted to glare fiercely at Luo Xi, but her expression froze on the spot. There was an unusual earnestness in Luo Xis eyes. He said with a light chuckle, "The only promise I can give you for now is thisyou definitely wont die before I do." Weier stared blankly at Luo Xi. Her heartbeat quickened without her even noticing. "...What the heck." Weier turned her head away, saying softly, "Just a Fondling Hands pervert trying to act cool." Although this wasnt the answer she wanted. But Luo Xis words, which sounded like a confession, caused Weier to feel a surge of heat flushing her face. This guy had never been so forthright with her since they met. Only with Aina would he be so direct, saying bustard things like wanting to marry her and liking to suck on Ainas tail. He had never shown such attention towards her. And she was supposed to be the older sister. [Ding! Weiers favorability towards you +3] [Ding! Weiers dissatisfaction with you +30] Luo Xi was confused. What on earth was it with both favorability and dissatisfaction increasing at the same time? [Note: Lousy Traveler, you have to be fair with your attention, or else Cat Cat might also come at you with a cleaver~] A tsundere turning into a yandere? Impossible, absolutely impossible! Aina suddenly jumped into Luo Xis arms and turned her head with a smile, "Sister Weier, brother didnt mix a single lie into what he said, hes serious." "I know..." Weier clenched her fists tightly and said, "Since you are so determined, we two as your companions cant just let you go off to die here by yourself. If you have any plans or ideas, spill them, and lets do it together." "What?" Luo Xi was somewhat thrown off by the reaction of this prideful Cat Lady. What he wanted to convey was that as long as he died before them, they could reverse time and escape danger, but due to restrictions, he couldnt be outright about it. What was Cat Cat thinking? Moreover, Luo Xi hadnt planned to let these two Lolitas tag along with him. His intention was to explore the big town on his own. Seeing Cat Cats excited look, Luo Xi felt somewhat reluctant to tell them to leave. "Lets go find an inn first then." "Yeah! I also want to see what an inn in this place looks like!" A tiny flame kindled in Weiers heart. The journey wasnt merely a simple excursion. They had to do something, right? Otherwise, wouldnt it be just superficial sightseeing? Her mother gave her so many scrolls, and wasnt it for moments like this? Unlike in Winter City where she only wanted to escape the mire, this time they intended to actively meddle with the affairs of an unfamiliar, large town. Being with this pervert seemed to always lead to interesting events~ Sear?h the n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [The synchronization has ended] [Looking forward to your next visit~] ... Luo Xi stood up in the courtyard, leaning on his long sword. Weier was now at the peak of Mutation Tier One, and her abilities were very convenient for exploration. Having Cat Cat to help was indeed better for concealing movements. Aina lacked self-defensive capabilities, so it was essential to find a safe place for her first. Speaking of which, the kid Aina was quite lucky; she also mentioned not having suffered from factor erosion worsening for quite some time. Rather than more abilities possibly emerging from deepening mutation, Luo Xi also preferred that the child always remain as she was. [Note: Remaining a small, soft, easily pushed-over cute Little Lolita, right?] That feeling isnt bad either... Climb! Luo Xi took out his phone to check the time. It was four oclock in the afternoon. There was still a long time before evening. Should he send Aina out alone? The hiding place for the airship was a good location. [After you, the Traveler, shared your thoughts, Aina vehemently protested. She didnt want to wait outside the city; she insisted on waiting within the city if necessary.] Luo Xi pondered for a moment. Actually, it wasnt impossible. The current situation in this small town had obviously been ongoing for quite some time now. It wouldnt suddenly take a turn for the worse just because of their arrival, unlike with Winter City. Previously, they were out in the open, but at this moment, they were in the shadows. After midnight, they planned to take action, so whatever crisis they encountered or however big a scene they caused, they could start over. At worst, they would do nothing the second time around and just sleep until daylight. Ai Xues voice came from the villas gate: "Senior, the cafeteria has sent over afternoon tea. Shall we have it together?" "Sure, just a moment." Luo Xi put away his sword and entered the villa, meanwhile giving Master Jiujian a call. After a while, the phone connected, and on the other end, it seemed like Master Jiujian had just woken up, his voice lazy as he said, "Young friend, what can I do for you?" "I have a bowl of soup from the Dream World here; could you help me analyze it?" "Soup?" The old man asked doubtfully, "Whats so special about this soup?" Luo Xi said, "Its a soup with added Snowworms, and I believe it has strong addictive properties." "Snowworms? What are those? Have you checked the database?" "I searched, but found nothing." Luo Xi had already discovered that the Dreamland Travel Bureaus knowledge of "Dawn" was too limited. The database felt like it only contained some useful common knowledge. "Senior, do you need my help?" Ai Xues voice came through tentatively: "Ive found that after using the talent of the Eye of Truth, I can see some things more deeply than the usual text information." Luo Xi looked back at Ai Xue, then picked up the phone and said, "Then never mind, you can go back to sleep." Master Jiujian: "..." Beep A hint of profound purple tinged Ai Xues pupils, and after looking at the bowl of soup on the table for a while, she said, "Senior, the Snowworms in this Snowworm soup are bred with human blood. Once a person consumes it over time, they will gradually become addicted without realizing." Bred with human blood?! So what about those who said that breeding Snowworms was simple? Is it really that simple to use blood for breeding? Luo Xi felt as if he had grasped an important clue. ... [Traveler, before nightfall, you wandered around Belgri Towns circular street, and spent some coins in a food store to buy some meat products.] [Everything here, when paid for with the time indicated on the signs, is much cheaper. Using silver or gold coins would make the price several times higher, and copper coins are even unusable here.] [You found an inn and, upon the enthusiastic invitation of the innkeeper, checked into a double room, paying ten hours of time currency.] [The innkeeper said that dinner would be complimentary.] [However, when dinner was served, you, the Traveler, discovered that all of these dinner items invariably contained Snowworms, including a large bowl of Snowworm soup!] [The quantity might be small, but the addictive nature was still there, and consuming too much could lead to addiction.] [Cat Cat originally wanted to eat something, but after hearing what you said, she didnt dare to touch any food casually.] ["Shall we eat what we brought ourselves?"] Luo Xi was silent for a moment. Then something occurred to him. He opened the travel bureaus app on his phone, logged into his consultants rights, and tapped into the trade column. [Food from the Dream World][Bread][Dried meat]... Although the amount of food was limited, it meant they no longer had to worry about not having food while outside. Money in the real world was like picking up loose change; he didnt mind spending it freely. Luo Xi searched in the [Equipment] column and found the best weapon available was a rare blue quality bow, priced at one billion... about the same as his Mist Dream staff. There were countless green and white quality weapons, though, and a cheaper one like a green quality broadsword could be bought for 20,000, which was not much different from his fine steel cleaver. It seemed that from blue quality onwards, there was a terrifying gap between the quality and price of equipment. ... Eleven oclock at night. Weier saw her sister went to the restroom, and since Luo Xi had been away on the other bed for quite some time, she stealthily took out her notebook. [Pan-continental Calendar, Year 3970, December 10th, Snow] [Today, that damn pervert Luo Xi dragged me onto a strange airship. We flew up to the ten-thousand-meter High Sky region and encountered the legendary deep Abyss-level Dragon Origin Beast. Later, we plummeted directly from ten thousand meters high in the sky down four or five thousand meters... The last time I wet my pants when I was six, but today, both Aina and I ended up wetting our pants!] Its all that perverts fault! One day Ill get my revenge! (Furious!) The visit to Belgri Town to find Hollow Flower is pretty strange too. I dont believe that the Lord here is that kind. Ive decided to explore this place with Luo Xi tonight! After all, some of his determination has rubbed off on me. Although he wont die, his words still moved me (crossed out). Speaking of which, I was supposed to be able to visit his world tonight, but lets put that aside for now and deal with the matters here first. It wont be too late then.] Weier put away her notebook. The next time she went there, she would definitely have to make him treat her and Aina the same. She also wanted to drink yogurt and cola just like Aina! Thats what Cat Cat thought. Chapter 262 - 211 Legal Lolita... Changed her age? The appearance of the Lord of Belgri Town_1 Chapter 262: Chapter 211 Legal Lolita... Changed her age? The appearance of the Lord of Belgri Town_1[Ding! You have grasped through learning: The Flower-roll Sword Strike] [Skills Mastered: One Form (Cloudflow, The Flower-roll Sword Strike)] Accompanied by a crisp buzzing sound, the long sword in Luo Xis hand vibrated incessantly, slicing the leaves he had tossed into the air moments before into fine pieces, scattering them in the night breeze like a disheveled bouquet. By now, he had mastered the basics of the Cloudflow Flower-roll Sword Technique taught by Master Jiujian in just two days. This sword technique prioritized delicacy and fluidity, which suited Luo Xi with his strength but lack of sufficient skill perfectly. It was already half past eleven. The Dream world would soon be available. The two objectives for tonight were to find the Hollow Flower and to get a clear picture of the situation in Belgri Town. Ding! Someone rang the doorbell from the villas courtyard. Luo Xi sheathed his sword and went out to see a delivery truck parked at the entrance of his villa, with two people coming down from it and taking out items from the back of the truck. One of the workers, clad in white, said to him, "Mr. Luo Xi, these are all the items you purchased from the trading platform. Please sign for them." "Mm." Luo Xi stepped forward and signed his name on the receipt. Ai Xue, looking younger than her years, ran out of the villa in loose pajamas, curiously staring at the delivery truck. "Senior, what did you buy?" she asked. "Mostly food, and some weapons," he replied. The white-clothed worker glanced at Ai Xue cautiously. Damn! Twelve years old? Thirteen? So the new villa resident, the reclusive big shot who was always home, was indeed a perverted loli-con! He had thought all those online comments were just smearing the new big shot from Xia country! In the past two days, most people in the Haicheng Traveler area had learned that the "Black Reaper" from that widely circulated video had moved into a villa here, and many were curious about whether the big shot really lived up to the description. More than the strength showcased in the video, most players here wanted to know if he liked little lolitas. It really was true! Otherwise, who would live with such a young girl? Even letting the little girl call him senior... did he think that would cover up the fact of their age difference? Absolute novice! [Ding! Xx +100 to your Shock Value] Luo Xi looked at the white-clothed worker, his face filled with confusion. What are you so shocked about? Not wanting to dwell on it, he picked up the box of food from the Dream world and took the sword case handed to him by the worker. The sword case contained a green-quality long sword worth two hundred thousand, which was on the high end for weapons of green quality. Its attributes were as follows. [Black Steel Long Sword] [Quality: Green (Superior+)] [Category: Common Sword Type Weapon] [Attributes: Damage +15400 (receives different damage bonuses depending on the hit body part)] [Description: This represents the peak of what most Craftsmen can forge in ordinary weapons without crafting Mithril] Indeed, the jump in quality from green to blue in equipment was steep; even the crappiest blue equipment could sell for nearly ten million. Was it due to this Mithril? Cat Cat had mentioned, I believe, that Mithril was a metal that only Craftsmen could coax into being through their forging perception. Seeing Luo Xi walk away, Ai Xue intended to close the gate of the courtyard. The worker asked in a low voice, "Hey, little girl, are you okay? Has he done anything to you?" Ai Xue paused, then shook her head with a faint smile, "Im of age already, 22 years old." "Oh..." The worker immediately felt indignant for the little girl. So, to dodge legal consequences, theyd gone to the extent of changing the girls age? Is this what a legal lolita truly is? Just change a lolitas age to adult and its legal? Sure was eye-opening... The powerful really could do as they pleased. Damn... he wanted to become someone like that too! ... [Traveler, you have taken the food package into your Dreamland knapsack.] [Would you like to take it out?] [Yes] [You called over Cat Cat and Aina, and had a pre-action midnight snack. Although the taste of the food was average, it was filling and, coming from various places in the Dream world, some items were quite novel.] [After eating, you opened the window to look outside.] [The street the inn youre staying in overlooks is still lively with a lot of people consuming in shops even at this late hour, enjoying the various services offered here.] [On the brightly lit street, the group of Mutant Patients appeared to be fervently lingering in the shops, feeling like they had found a city of their own.] [Weier leaned against the windowsill and said softly, "If only this were real, how wonderful that would be."] [Aina, sitting on the bed, smiled and said, "But this is the world of Brother Luo Xi."] [Weier glanced at you meaningfully, "Ready?"] [Traveler, you said, "Of course."] [Weier said, "Then take out that cradle for Aina."] Luo Xi: "?" Didnt Cat Cat want to come over here too? [Weier pouted and said, "After we leave, Aina might still encounter danger, right? That thing has strong defensive abilities and can protect Aina well."] [The Little Wolf Girl, with tears of gratitude in her eyes, said: "Sister Weier is so kind! Sister, you must be Ainas bridesmaid at her wedding with Brother Luo Xi!"] [Cat Cat suddenly had several p symbols popping up on her forehead.] ... Weier felt helpless about her sister. How could this silly sister say these strange things with such a serious look, just like that pervert Luo Xi? Weier suddenly thought of a terrifying possibility. Am I the redundant one? Cat Cat was ready to give up on tonights action. I really want to go take a look... "Its not successful every time, just like the two attempts your mother made. And as long as I keep the other part in my luggage, it definitely wont activate successfully," Luo Xis voice rang out. Weier () said, "Why didnt you say that earlier, you pervert!" "No! Aina wants to sleep with Brother Luo Xi! Bad sister!" ... [Traveler, Aina was reluctantly tossed by Cat Cat into the cradle that you had laid out.] [Without Nest being released, the true effect of the cradle could not be triggered, but the sleep buff was still there.] [Aina soon fell into a deep sleep.] [Weier held your hand, and with her ability, you both easily passed through walls and doors of the inn. The security force here was much smaller than in Winter City. After passing through several walls, you finally arrived at Belgri Town inside Ring Street.] [There are many newly built brick houses here, and many Mutant Patients who havent gone to bed yet, just returning from Ring Street.] [Ding! OriginVoid (Fragment) sensed the presence of Hollow Flower within a 300-meter radius.] Luo Xi was heartened. The Hollow Flower was indeed nearby. [Traveler, you and Cat Cat begin a methodical search of the area.] ... "This is your house for the time being, during the Snowworms breeding period, you can stay here without further deducting from your allowed stay time, sign the contract." "Okay!" Kyro excitedly signed his name on the parchment. [Kyro]. And, he also pressed his fingerprint onto it. He was not completely without caution, but there were hundreds, if not thousands, of Mutant Patients like him who all said that Lord Andrew was an incredibly good man. He was also brought over by the old Craftsman of the blacksmith shop and had seen the living area for Mutant Patients. At least two thousand people lived here, including many pure-blood Humanity from outside, and everyone was breeding Snowworms. There couldnt be any problems! However, what seemed odd to Kyro was that aside from the people on Ring Street and those in this living area, he hadnt seen other residents of Belgri Town. This town had a population of over twenty thousand; where were all the other people, still inside the town? If the outer Ring Street and the living area were this affluent, what about the inner parts? "What does it take to truly become a member of this town?" Kyro couldnt wait to ask the old man who had led him here. The Craftsmans hands trembled slightly. He turned around and said, "As long as you keep breeding Snowworms and make contributions to the Lord, its only a matter of time. If you are ready to dedicate your body and soul to the Lord, you can sign a more advanced contract and become a true resident of this town." Kyro smiled brightly: "Master, I will work hard! What time can I come to learn from you tomorrow?" "After seven oclock." The Craftsman walked away without turning his head. In a whisper only he could hear, he murmured, "Im sorry... I have no choice." ... S~ea??h the Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Traveler, you and Cat Cat searched for half an hour and finally found a fossil of the Hollow Flower behind a building.] [The fossil looked exactly as Weier had described it, growing on the ground with a large open mouth, about one and a half meters in diameter, with sharp teeth all around the edge that went deep into the ground, but one could see the bottom directly from the mouth.] [It seems the people here have turned this fossil into a landscape feature.] [Traveler, you placed your hand on the Hollow Flower.] [Do you want to use the power of OriginVoid to activate this Hollow Flower?] [Yes] [Traveler, you noticed that the Hollow Flower fossil lit up with a gentle white glow, but it quickly faded away.] [Friendly reminder: Hollow Flower is a pair, with the other half too far away. The power contained in OriginVoid (Fragment) is insufficient, and it will take some time to activate the other half.] Hmm? So, how long will it take? [Note: At least 3 days? Pathetic Traveler, you could stay here and play with Beast Eared Girls for three days, writing your own guide to Variant Beast Eared Girls?] Get lost, Damn Text! Although Luo Xi was not in a hurry, the uncertainties of three days were too great unless they lay low here for three days without minding anything else. But thats impossible. ["Who are you?"] [Suddenly, an icy voice sounded beside you.] [Instantly, the defensive scroll on Travelers body was triggered, blocking a golden claw mark with a bright white light.] ["Hey?"] [The voice sounded somewhat astonished.] [Traveler, without hesitation, you retreated with Cat Cat and pulled out Spark.] ["Turns out its distinguished guests. I thought you were bugs," Andrews tone suddenly became friendly as he took off his hat and gave you a slight bow.] ["My name is Andrew Walker, the Lord of Belgri Town. May I inquire as to the business of the two honored guests?"] Chapter 263 - 212: I’m going to bestow you with the talent to transform into a Lolita! o(*≧д≦)o!_1 Chapter 263: Chapter 212: Im going to bestow you with the talent to transform into a Lolita! o(*RըQ)o!_1[The visitor is a middle-aged man with blond hair, dressed and groomed with considerably gentlemanly grace, his demeanor as if he were truly a nobleman.] [Ding! Talent: Homosexual Repulsion has been triggered: Andrews favorability towards you -50.] Luo Xis breathing became slightly quicker. This development exceeded his expectations. Andrew Volke, Lord of Belgri Town. The controller of the Divine Tree almost has absolute control over the area within the range of the Divine Trees blessings, even capable of weaving rules about comings and goings. For example, the Inner City pass of Winter City. The time badges of Belgri Town. But this fellow staring at his own territory every day was a bit too much, wasnt it? How paranoid can he be? [Traveler, you say, "We are just travelers passing through."] ["Travelers?"] [Andrew size you up, his gaze sweeps over Weier and he grins with a smile: "The girl sleeping at the inn, shes part of your group, isnt she?"] Luo Xi narrowed his eyes. It was normal for the lord to find them and trace back to Aina given that he had already located them. [Traveler, you stop Cat Cat from bursting out, whispering lowly, "Dont panic, they cant break through the cradles protection in a short time."] ["The two of you might have misunderstood."] [Andrew shakes his head with a smile, "Powerful people, as long as they dont harbor ill intentions, are esteemed guests to me, so you dont need to worry about me making a move on your companion."] ["I merely wish to know, what brings the two of you here?"] [Traveler, you point to the Hollow Flower fossil nearby.] [Ding! Andrews confusion value +50.] ["The Hollow Flower?"] ["Exactly."] ["Isnt this a fossil?"] ["Do I not have the right to like ancient relics?"] ["Uh... of course, you do."] [After a brief conversation, Andrew laughs heartily, "Then it seems we have a misunderstanding, please accompany me to my manor as guests, I very much enjoy conversing with capable people."] [Traveler, you say, "Theres no need."] ["Im afraid that wont do."] [Andrew speaks with sincerity, "This is my territory. Wouldnt you two like to show some respect? Dont you want to know the truth of this place, how I manage to run such a town?"] [Traveler, you chuckle, "After seeing it, would Lord Volke even allow us to leave?"] ["Of course... No."] [Andrew speaks smilingly, "Im in need of an expert like you right now; the item in your hand has caused me some concern. Its not very strong but sufficient to demonstrate your capabilities."] ["As long as youre willing to join Belgri Town, I am prepared to offer some of the towns secrets."] [Traveler, just as you are about to agree, Andrew shakes his head himself, "Forget it, its too late tonight, you two go back and rest. Today during the day, I must prepare a banquet for my sons newly found teacher, how about you two join us tomorrow?"] ["Okay, but may I ask, when did Lord Volke realize we were here?"] ["Since the two of you left Ring Street, see you during the day."] [Andrew snaps his fingers, and the space around you starts to warp; after a dizzying moment, you and Cat Cat find yourselves back in the inn room.] [Weier immediately runs to the cradle and, seeing Aina sound asleep inside, breathes a sigh of relief.] [Cat Cat sits down on the bed with a slump, looking somewhat disheartened, "What do we do now? Weve been exposed so quickly; can you use that Hollow Flower?"] ["Three days."] [Weier is startled, "Can you actually?"] [Traveler, you calmly grab Cat Cats tail resting on the blanket, replying, "No worries, well take another look tomorrow, if it really doesnt work out, well just forget about it."] ["Weve already been exposed! How can we just forget about it?!"] [Weier, frustrated, snatches back her tail and burrows into the blanket. After a while, she pokes her head out, asking, "Pervert, where does your confidence come from?"] [Traveler, you consider for a moment, then say, "I have a Damn Text that can bark, though its quite useful."] [Weier: "?"] [Note: ?o(*RըQ)o! Garbage Traveler, youve angered me, I want to turn back time to the first day we met, and give the garbage Traveler a Little Lolita talent!] Heh. Luo Xi scoffed in disdain. Bring it on, whos afraid of whom. Moonflow can only revert time to the zero hour within one day; it couldnt even go back to yesterday. If Damn Text had such power to freely manipulate time, he would have yielded. As expected, Damn Text did not. But even just going back to the zero hour of the day was enough. If the problem here couldnt be solved by Luo Xi, he planned to revert time and leave directly after. After all, the strength of the controller of the Belgri Divine Tree was far beyond his, with Spark. On the Winter City side, if not for the suppression of Rat King Nos by the Winter Divine Tree, it would have been difficult for him to oppose Nos, and at that time, Hill was an ally, while Andrew was an enemy. [Note: Is it because theres no cute beast-eared Little Lolita for the garbage Traveler to abduct, that your resolve is so weak?] Cant be bothered with you. Luo Xi buried his head in the bed. Then he might as well rest too. After a long time, Luo Xi opened his eyes and found it difficult to sleep. Perhaps because he had grown accustomed to Cat Cat and her friends bed, he found the large bed in the villa somewhat uncomfortable. Their bed seemed to be in the next room... So he decided to sleep there. [Note: Hentai! A Traveler who cant sleep without the scent of beast-eared little lolitas is beyond salvation!] Damn text, crawl! Otherwise, transform for me! ... When Luo Xi got up in the morning, he intended to find Master Jiujian by the lakeside to continue his sword training, but Master Jiujian had called him, asking him to consolidate the two basic forms on his own, as he had other matters to attend to. So Luo Xi practiced on his own. By around ten oclock, there was finally a change from the Dream world. [A voice suddenly sounded in the room: "Are you ready, everyone?"] [You and Cat Cat had already gotten up, and after exchanging a glance with each other,] [Traveler, you responded: "Ready."] [A wave of dizziness struck again, and when you and Weier steadied yourselves, you found that you were next to yesterdays Hollow Flower.] [Andrew looked at you from the same spot with a confused expression: "Is that cradle a Yuan Qi? Why cant it be moved?"] [Traveler, you said: "Dont worry about it."] [Andrew laughed: "Then I will not concern myself with it. Please follow me, and I shall take you both to see Belgri Town and answer all your questions."] [Traveler, you followed Andrew, heading towards the town.] ["Luo Xi, Miss Weier!"] [Traveler, you hadnt walked two steps before you heard someone calling you.] [It was Kyro, who had been infected by the horse factor; he came running over when he saw you.] [Kyro excitedly asked: "Did you also sign a contract to raise Snowworms?"] [Traveler, you simply patted his shoulder, shook your head, and continued to follow Andrew.] [Andrew asked: "A friend?"] ["No."] ["Oh."] [After two minutes of walking, you took a step and were shifted to a new location.] [Andrews voice came from ahead: "This is the true Belgri Town."] [Traveler, you suddenly realized that compared to the environment around the ring road and residential areas, this place was in a sorry state, with potholed roads and sewage flowing on the streets. The residents appeared emaciated, with pale complexions and frightened expressions, who quickly retreated into their homes upon seeing you.] [There were also people with numb expressions, cutting their hands with knives and collecting the blood in a basin, not even bothering to hide from you.] [Among these people, there were Mutant Patients and also pure-blooded humans.] ["In the ring street area, I keep the population around 2,500 people. Here, there are 17,000 people; this is where the true wealth of Belgri Town is created."] ["You must be curious why I created such a place for Variants and layabouts to enjoy themselves, right?"] [Andrew smiled: "Those Variants were the garbage of this world. I took them in, gave them a home, so when they devote themselves to me, there should be no problem with them creating wealth for me, right?"] ["Of course, someone with your Strength, as a Variant, is regarded just as one of my sublimated persons in my eyes."] [Traveler, you asked with a deep voice: "So you have them feed the Snowworms with their blood?"] ["Exactly."] [Andrew, surprised, said: "How did you know that? This is the biggest secret of Belgri Town. Snowworms are a specialty here that cant be known elsewhere."] [Weier spoke up: "Then why are you being so good to them at first, only to oppress them like this later?"] [Andrew raised his eyebrows and laughed: "Because only in this way will they wholeheartedly devote themselves to me until death. Having signed a lifelong labor contract with the Divine Tree, they cant go against the power of the contract. And each contract becomes nourishment for the Belgri Divine Tree."] ["You are no different. Later, Id like to invite you to sign a contract. Of course, it wont be one of those Snowworm tending contracts for cattle and horses. Your contract would simply be to join Belgri Town and become one of my subordinates."] [Traveler, you asked: "Lord, what exactly are you trying to do with all this?"] ["Theres no harm in telling you. Youll be one of us anyway. Andrew pointed at the hundred-meter-tall tree at the center of the town and laughed loudly: "I want to make the Belgri Divine Tree evolve into a Winter Divine Tree like the one in Winter City! I want Belgri Town to transform into Belgri City! This is my lifelong dream!"] Dream? [Your Anger Value +50] ["So what is your answer?"] [Traveler, you said: "It sounds good."] [Cat Cat, angry, kicked you.] ["I knew you two have..."] ["But, I refuse."] ["Oh?"] [Andrew frowned: "What makes you think you can refuse me? Is it because of that iron ball from last night? Even if you release it, it wouldnt stand a chance against me. I could offer you a knight captains position. Isnt that enough?"] Sarch* The N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Traveler, you said: "Not enough."] [Andrew glanced at Weier, then thought of the Variant girl in the room, and after pondering for a moment, said: "I guess you like young girls, right? How about I give you ten of them? All aged between ten and thirteen, both Variants and pure-blood humans with pleasing appearances."] [Note: Youre walking a very wide path, boy!] Luo Xi: "?" Chapter 264 - 213 hentai Loli-con Says Something Cool, It Feels Very Strange~_1 Chapter 264: Chapter 213 hentai Loli-con Says Something Cool, It Feels Very Strange~_1[Traveler, you immediately retort angrily, "Shameless old thief! Dont smear my name, who said I liked young girls!"] [Weier slightly opens her mouth and glances at you, murmuring softly, "Youve bewitched Aina into wanting to marry you, do you really believe your own words?"] [Andrew points to the Cat Cat beside you and says, "Isnt this proof? The one at the inn, isnt she even younger? They dont possess any real strength. My lord, as a traveler, you carry two useless burdens along your journeyI cant think of any other reason."] [Note: Does he seem to make a lot of sense? Damn Traveler, just give in, will you? Were gifting you ten adorable beast-eared little lolitas! Your loli harem just expanded by several times!] Goddamn makes sense! Rather than having such trash as subordinates, wouldnt it be better if I just kidnapped them myself? Cough... (strike through) [Andrew speaks candidly, "My lord need not take offense, Im not mocking you. In this world that belongs to us, the powerful, it doesnt matter whether my lord likes young girls or even menI wont mock you for that."] ["If ten is not enough, then twenty."] ["If twenty is not enough, then thirty. As long as you become my subordinate, my lord can choose whomever you like from the town."] S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ["So, what is your answer, my lord?"] [Traveler, you sensed that the Cat Cat beside you was seething with anger, her hand gripping the scroll that Liya gave her tightly] Luo Xi took a deep breath. What exactly do the townspeople mean to these lords? Are they just items to be used at will? A sense of indignant anger began to spread within him. It was an emotion he had never felt even in Winter City. Although Winter City was harsh on Mutant Patients, it was at least overtly harsh. In contrast, Andrew deceptively exploited those who dreamed of a bright future, all for his own selfish desires. But... a contract? What does it mean that once its signed, you cant resist him? What is the connection between that contract and the promotion of the Belgri Divine Tree? ["My lord, your answer?" The opponent asked again.] [Traveler, you say, "Its not enough. How about you give me your position as the Lord as well?"] [Note: Damn Traveler, its still you, after all. Ten little lolitas and an entire town full of thema smart person would naturally choose the latter!] Dont twist my words, damn text! [Andrews expression instantly turns icy, "Is that a no, then?"] [Traveler, you shake your head, "I dont want to converse with someone like you."] ["In that case, theres no need for me to speak so cordially to you anymore."]} [Andrew raises his hand, and in the distortion of the air, a blond young man suddenly appears in his grasp.] [Thats Kyro, who had just greeted you.] [Kyros face turns red, struggling desperately in Andrews hand, and then, in fear and confusion, has his neck snapped by Andrew without giving you a chance to react.] [The crisp sound of the breaking neck bone is especially piercing.] [Andrew then tosses Kyro towards you.] [After rolling several times, Kyro lies beside you, the life gradually fading from his eyes.] Luo Xi remains silent. With a demeanor that grows increasingly frigid. Although the text describes it briefly, the flames of anger in his heart burn ever higher. This man is more revolting than Rat King Nos. While Rat King Nos is also a headache and has been killed several times in repeated journeys, Luo Xis disdain for him is merely the pure loathing for an enemy. [Ding! Your Anger Value +166] [Ding! You have triggered a Dreamland Temporary Synchronization (30-minute High Definition Edition), would you like to activate it?] ... Weier gazes at the blond middle-aged man in front of her, and at the body on the ground. The girl cant help but mock her former self. Why did she even for a moment hope that the lord of this place would genuinely treat Mutant Patients well? Hadnt she already known such realities? Besides kinship, no pure-blooded humans would unreasonably be kind to Mutant Patients, and even kinship might not be enough. Not everyone is a kind child like Hill. As for whether Luo Xi would accept the lords offer, Weier has no worries whatsoever. After all, this is a man who lingered so long in a place like Winter City for their sakehow could he ever stoop to be with such people? In fact, that is indeed the case. Weier only wants to know what Luo Xi plans to do now. Does he... have a plan? All those scrolls left by mother, if used, could get them out of here. Luo Xi slowly crouches down. He looks intently at the dead Kyro on the ground. The young mans dreams of living well here, bringing over his family, setting up shop, and getting married, were so senselessly and worthlessly snuffed out. Luo Xi looks at his neck, observing carefully and seriously: "Why did you kill him?" He cannot understand the actions of this man. No, it is the logic of this world he cannot understand. "No reason. If the smaller one from the inn hadnt put up a fight, it wouldve been her turn this time," Andrew casually wipes his hands with a napkin, smiling elegantly. "This is my territory. I do as I please. I was a little angry just now, so I simply killed a Variant, thats all." "Ill give you one last chance." [Ding! Your Anger/Killing Intent Value +100] [Ding! Traveler, youve triggered a Free Mission: Redemption (Part II)] [Mission Brief: Traveler, in Belgri Town, you once again witness the oppressed underclass living in dire straits, their lives considered by high-ranking people merely as tools for extortion, disposable possessions. But is this normal?] Traveler, what do you wish to do at this moment? [Reward: None] [Description: Can your actions bring about any change?] "Okay, I agree," Luo Xi said. Weier looked at Luo Xi incredulously. How could this pervert possibly agree? Wait, that look in his eyes, what is he planning to do? Luo Xi stood up, pulled Cat Cat from behind him, and smiled, "Then, respected Lord, what would you have me do next?" "If you had said so earlier, I wouldnt have gotten so angry that I wanted to kill someone, wasting a Variant who had just signed a contract." Andrew laughed heartily as he clasped his hands together. Flecks of light fell from the sky and a piece of parchment appeared in his hands. Luo Xi caught the parchment. He glanced over the text on it. [Contract] [I am willing to dedicate all my strength to Lord Andrew Volke, to become the guardian of this town, to show the greatest respect to the Belgri Divine Tree, and to unconditionally follow the commands of Lord Andrew Volke...] [Signatory: ()] [Friendly Reminder: This is a Transcendence contract with the power of a pact. Once signed, even if resurrected after death, you cannot escape the bonds of the contract.] Cant escape the contract even after dying and resurrecting? What kind of high-level indenture is this? The cotton-picking brothers from a few hundred years ago would probably cry if they saw this. Andrew thought for a moment and said, "Before you sign, let me first witness your power. Attack me right here, aim it towards me." Luo Xi looked at him, "Are you sure?" Andrew replied nonchalantly, "Please, feel free. I just want to see the extent of your strength. In Belgri Town, its impossible for you to harm me." "Alright." The corners of Luo Xis mouth curled up slightly. Impossible to harm you, huh? "Cat Cat, step back a bit." "You..." Weier realized something, hesitated for a moment, but still clenched the scroll and ran backwards. [Do you wish to use Talent: Immersion?] [Yes] [Please select the Immersion Talent mode you wish to trigger [Anger][Killing Intent][Joy][Sadness]] [Anger] [Traveler, you have expended 316 points of Anger Value] [Immersion (Anger): In this state, all your damage +31.6%, your agility +31.6%, all your attacks guarantee critical hits, absolute penetration. After this state ends, you will be temporarily unable to move due to exhaustion (316 seconds).] [Ding! It is detected that the Traveler is already in Dreamland Synchronization mode; this Talent can be directly overridden.] "Spark, initiate the load-bearing mode." Viscous black liquid covered the young mans body, and black and red flames burst forth from within. The melting snow turned into white vapor, and the flowing liquid transformed into a hard shell, with complex armor structures rapidly forming under the arrangement of runes. In two seconds, a figure more than two meters tall, wrapped in black and red flames, emerged from the inferno. "Is this power armor?!" In his surprise, Andrew genuinely admired, "With the strength of a Mutation first-tier, to achieve such power, youd be more than qualified as the captain of my knights. It seems my judgment was indeed accurate. Go ahead, attack!" Luo Xi said emotionlessly: "Sure." The next moment, the shadow enveloped in black and red flames charged toward Andrew, a long sword appearing in his hand, stabbing towards Andrews chest. A golden barrier materialized in front of Spark. The long sword collided with the barrier, and a colossal force instantly shattered the surrounding houses. "Hahaha! Impressive! You can stop now!" Andrew laughed with a wide grin, "Ive seen your strength now. Hereafter, the leadership position of Belgri Town is yours!" However, cold killing intent and anger continued to spread from the long sword, and that black figure released flames of rage. Andrews eyebrows twitched, "Do you really intend to kill me? A frog in the well has no concept of the vastness of the ocean. In this town, its impossible for you all to breach my..." Crack Silence suddenly descended. The long sword, coated with burning flames and melting from the heat, pierced the barrier, plunging straight into Andrews chest, and then with one swift slash, cut his upper body clean in half. "You!..." In the brief pause, Andrews body fell backwards, staring at Luo Xi with disbelief, then revealing a ferocious smile. "Who do you think I am?" The Belgri Divine Tree released a dazzling light in an instant. Luo Xi looked up at the distant Divine Tree, shining like the sun, feeling the pressure it put on him as it rapidly depleted Sparks reserve of Yuan Su. He turned to look at the Lord trying to pick up his lower half to reattach it and smiled, "And who do you think I am?" "Respected Lord, Ive got my eye on you." [Note: Its strange, isnt it, that such a cool phrase comes from a perverted loli-con just before death?] ---- ---- (There will be two more Chapters tonight, one of which is a bonus update.) Chapter 265 - 214: Aina Wants the Knife from the Man who Snatched it from her Brother! _1 Chapter 265: Chapter 214: Aina Wants the Knife from the Man who Snatched it from her Brother! _1Luo Xi climbed out of bed. The time displayed on the cell phone was October 7th, 12:00. Moonflows rewind succeeded. Its indeed terrifying to control the Divine Tree, especially a hundred-meter-class controller like that. With just a split second of the opponents reaction time, I would have been instantly suppressed. Just as Liya could easily knock him down, their hard strengths werent on the same level. If it werent for the fact that all attacks in [Immersion: Anger] mode had an absolute penetrating effect, I probably wouldnt even be able to breach the opponents defense. Managing to cut Andrew into two while he was caught off guard was already the limit of my ability. I just didnt expect that even if I thrust into his heart and cut him in two from the middle, Andrew wouldnt die. Then, what if I cut him vertically, head and all? Luo Xi narrowed his eyes. Its worth a try. As long as I can kill this lord, Andrew, everything here should stop, right? [Traveler, Cat Cat is asking if you can start acting now?] ... Everything in the Dream world started to replicate the same trajectory as last time. In reality, Luo Xi didnt sleep either. He went to the gym on the first floor of the villa to practice with the black steel longsword. Under the bonus of the Sword Heart talent, the proficiency of the Cloudflow Flower-rolls two styles kept increasing. Although Ive already grasped this sword technique, to further improve my proficiency, Id have to keep increasing the intensity of my training. Luo Xi had a feeling that even if I had rewound time, killing the lord wouldnt be easy, so I couldnt waste this night. Until five in the morning. The sky wasnt bright yet, but Luo Xi hadnt slept for a second and continued to practice. The black steel longsword left several black afterimages in the gym, and with the release of Yuan Su, it instantly cut the majority of the gym equipment placed on the ground, creating cracks on the floor. [Note: Damn Traveler, youre even better at wrecking the house than a crazy dog!] [Ding! You have self-realized the second form of Cloudflow[Cloud Slash]] [Cloudflow Flower-roll Sword Technique] [Mastered: First form (Cloudflow, Flower-roll), Second form (Cloud Slash)] [Current Proficiency: Proficient (First-tier)] [Maximum Potential: Mastery (Third-tier)] "Whats wrong with senior?! Ah" Ai Xue, hearing the noise and wearing a loose nightgown, hurriedly ran down from upstairs and then slipped and fell on some shattered pieces at the entrance. Sarch* The ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. After training intensively all night with the sword, Luo Xi was already extremely tired, so he was knocked down to the ground by Ai Xue. "Why are you hurrying like that?" Luo Xi helplessly pulled Ai Xue, who was on top of him, back up. It wasnt fully light yet, so Ai Xue still looked much smaller, appearing to be an early high school student. If anyone knew that he and Ai Xue were staying in this kind of place, his reputation would really be ruined. [Note: Damn Traveler, you should consider whether you still have something like a reputation left?] Damn it! Ai Xue, rubbing her head, whispered, "Senior, I didnt do it on purpose!" "Hmm, I know." Luo Xi rubbed Ai Xues head, "Im going to rest for a while. Im leaving first." After Luo Xi left, Ai Xue paused for a while, then rolled around on the yoga mat like a little bug. "Hehe, senior touched my head again, he really likes me being small." "So perverted." "But, I really like it." ... Aside from Kyro, who Luo Xi intentionally avoided, everything happened in repetition just like the last time. When the longsword wrapped in black and red flames, as expected, broke through the defense and shattered Andrews head, even Luo Xi himself couldnt believe it was that simple. The lord is dead just like that? The flames representing anger on Luo Xis body began to fade away. The overburdened Spark returned to its original orb form, and he also entered a negative phase due to the talent effect. [Ding! You have killed the lord of Belgri Town: Andrew Walker] [Ding! The current lord of Belgri Town is dead] [Ding! The rights of the Belgri Divine Tree are transferring... transfer complete] Huh?! As the Divine Tree swayed in its glory and an overwhelming force swept in, Luo Xi realized that he had thought things were too simple. Appearing in the golden light was a boy about the same age as Hill, looking at Luo Xi with a furious expression, the power of the Divine Tree gathered around him. "It was you who killed my father, wasnt it!" In an instant, the entire town shook, and all nearby people and objects turned to dust under the uncontrollable power of the boy. Luo Xi struggled to turn around and look at Cat Cat, who was preparing to run back. "Dont come over..." The next moment, the ground beneath him was overturned, and Luo Xis consciousness plunged into darkness. [Traveler, you have died] [You can choose to resurrect at the last event point] [Talent: MoonflowZero Point has been triggered] [Would you like to rewind to the zero point of today?] [Yes] When Luo Xi opened his eyes again, he was back at twelve oclock at night. His body was covered in relentless cold sweats. Luo Xi just wanted to say mmp. After taking down a big one, why is there still a little one left? So, what to do? After killing Andrew, his child would directly inherit the Divine Trees power, and his child started off by casting an almost town-destroying mighty spell. Then, whats the point of killing Andrew? After all, the rule that the Divine Tree can only be inherited by bloodline owners means that even if the City Owner dies accidentally, as long as he has descendants, his family wont decline. Because, after all, the power of the Divine Tree is their everything. Andrews own strength is at most Tier Three, but controlling the Divine Tree, he could match several Tier Four Transcendents, which is the source of his confidence and superiority. This was also why Andrew was injured or killed by Luo Xi in both rewinds. Who would believe that a young pup could suddenly leap up and sever your throat? So, should he kill that child first, then kill Andrew? Luo Xi looked at his own hands. Could he do it? Besides, as long as he doesnt sign a contract, infiltrating within the Loop Street would immediately reveal him to Andrew, but how could he kill that child then? There are just too many variables in this. Isnt there another way... [Note: Garbage Traveler, how about just running away? Shall we play a lower difficulty text?] Vetoed. [Note: Then make this town yours, Traveler~] [Ding! Traveler, you have triggered a personal mythos quest: The Return of Moonflow (I)] [Mission Brief: Imprint your soul into a Divine Tree that is a hundred meters tall, causing it to break free from the root network of the Eternal Divine Tree and turn into a Divine Tree with a Moonflow mark] [Reward: An entire town of adorable beast-eared Little Lolitas are all yours!] [Description: The Eternal World TreeMoonflow and Moonflow Country disappeared in ancient times, yet across the continents, many poems still sing their epics. Traveler, can you resurrect this vanished realm?] Luo Xi: "..." Damn text, youve got this all figured out, huh? Luo Xi recalled the moment when he used himself as bait and allowed Hiss to consume his body. Was it the same situation then? So what to do this time? Let Andrew consume him too? [Note: Garbage Traveler, why not go sign a 007 servant contract? Start from the bottom? "Becoming the Harem Lord of Lolitas: It Starts with Raising Snowworms"] Adding quotation marks makes it a book, right? Why not sign that contract with Andrew directly? Why start with raising Snowworms? Raising Snowworms isnt something you can do in just one day, right? Plus, though the contract can be nullified within one day using a rewind, afterwards it cant. [Note: Garbage Traveler, you dont think the so-called contracts can restrict you, do you?] [Ding! The Return of Moonflow (I) quest has been updated] [Mission Tip: Traveler, after signing the basic contract, touch the body of someone who has made a contract. When the overall contract changes reach eighty percent, [OriginMoonflow] will automatically update the ownership of the Belgri Divine Tree] Luo Xi: "..." The corners of his mouth curled into a smile. Although the origin and purpose of the damn text made him uneasy, the fact that it could help at such times was still very pleasing to him. [Traveler, Cat Cat is asking if you can start taking action now?] [Traveler, you shake your head and say, "Lets call it a day. Ive decided to raise Snowworms! Indeed, no day but today, lets start raising them tonight."] [Ding! Weiers confusion Value +80] [Weier frowns and asks, "Why do you want to raise Snowworms?"] [Traveler, after thinking for a moment, you say, "Even if its just grinding with a daily 996 as a worker-beast, theres a day to lie flat and become the boss. Reject the rat race, starting with me!"] ["In short, Im going to start from the bottom and end up being the boss of this town."] [Ding! Weiers confusion Value +100] [Note: Garbage Traveler, you should say, When I become the boss, youll be the first ladies of the town] Shut up! ... Weier suspected that Luo Xi had been swapped out with someone else. It was agreed to explore the situation inside Loop Street at night, but suddenly he decided not to go and now was going to raise those weird Snowworms instead. Weird statements like wanting to become the boss of the town were being thrown around. If this wasnt being swapped out, what was it? Its just babbling nonsense... Or did someone switch bodies at the other end of the world? Is that even possible? "Aina, Aina, wake up quickly!" Weier glanced at Luo Xi who seemed determined to go out at night and tried to wake up her little sister, who had just fallen asleep in the cradle. No matter how much she called, there was no response. Weier shouted loudly, "Aina, wake up or your Brother Luo Xi will be stolen away! Forget about marrying him or anything else in the future! Forget all about it!" "No way! Brother Luo Xi is Ainas!" Aina leapt out of the cradle and (n) said, "Who wants to steal Brother Luo Xi! Aina will go and cut her down! Even if its Sister, thats not acceptable!" Weier: "?" ---- Another Chapter is going to be late, probably around one oclock. Chapter 267 - 217: Aina is braver than me? Impossible! _1 Chapter 267: Chapter 217: Aina is braver than me? Impossible! _1When the synchronization time ended, after Luo Xi logged out of the Dream world, the progress of the contract showed that it had reached 0.02%. However, there were still many time points left, so Luo Xi continued to take the two sisters out to spend. [Traveler, you and the two Lolitas enjoyed a service at the massage parlor (a proper massage).] [You have consumed 6 hours of time points.] [Ding! Your Happiness Level +20.] [Note: This bit of happiness isnt as much as youd get from petting the Little Wolf Girl a few times. Its recommended that Cat Cat and Cute Wolf give you a massage, the kind with their feet~] Luo Xi: "Huh?!" [Traveler, you spent 10 time points in a blacksmith shop and bought two green-quality greatswords.] [You asked the blacksmith if there were any more precious weapons for sale.] [The blacksmith indicated that he did not have any weapons above the rare tier.] [He looked at you with a complicated gaze and said, "Young man, dont just waste the time youve gained from signing contracts. If you use it all up before the delivery date, then..."] [Traveler, you expressed indifference, stating that all you needed were weapons.] [The blacksmith sighed. He said, "As an ordinary craftsman who cannot communicate with metal through the soul or refine and transform Mithril, crafting these weapons is the limit of my abilities."] ["Those rare weapons in the town are probably at the Lords place. They cant be crafted on the spot. The senior craftsmen of Belgri Town left half a year ago, and now those left behind dont have much skill. Its all because..."] [The blacksmith stopped his words abruptly, showing a deeply taboo expression, and refused to say anything further no matter what you asked.] [You were chased out of the blacksmith shop.] Luo Xi pondered. Did this town really only change like this six months ago? It was also six months ago that the first batch of players entered this world for the internal test, for real. The player who brought about such changes to Belgri Town, are they still here now? Regardless of whether they are here or not, Luo Xis goal will not change. Since going straight for the kill on the Lord wont work, and the Damn Text has given him a method to solve it with a huge benefit to gain, itd be a shame not to try. Sarch* The N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Why wont it work with the Winter Divine Tree? [Note: The tree is too big, hard to pull out, you garbage Traveler. Do you want to be captured by the church and executed?] Luo Xi: "..." The Damn Texts image and prestige in his mind plummeted. Why does it feel like hes a petty thief snagging easy pickings? [Traveler, you have used up all the remaining duration and received 20 pounds of Essence Crystals.] [You decided to let Weier and Aina go out for a day or two.] [The residents around this street are merely put up by the Lord to create a harmonious atmosphere to attract foreigners, but you need to go deeper into the town. Only there will you find the most people steeped in misery, allowing your Contract Change to spread the fastest.] ..... Andrew felt a sense of puzzlement as he sensed the information conveyed by the Belgri Divine Tree. An Variant who had just signed a contract for a year, exchanging for 1200 time points, had spent all these points in just one night. Buying a bunch of random stuff. Aside from weapons and the like, what use could there be for a Variant to buy so many Essence Crystals? Such a fool was extremely rare. If he runs out of time points and the Snowworm delivery isnt due yet, then if he wants to stay and spend here, he can only speed up and nurture the Snowworms. He will be forced to enter the town in accordance with the contracts requirements and become one of the townspeople who bleed themselves to sustain the worms. Andrew set aside this trivial matter. Its merely a foolish Variant who doesnt know how to enjoy life. He turned to the elder and asked: "Mr. Kels, how is my childs alchemy talent?" The elder smiled, "Your child has great talent, and at his age, its the best time to learn. Given time, he will surely excel. Its my honor to be his teacher." Andrew smiled with satisfaction and said, "Mr. Kels, Ill take your praise. Also, have you thought about the proposal to become the chairman of our towns Alchemy and Craftsman Guild? If possible, can we sign the contract now?" "Could you give me a few more days to consider it?" "Are three days enough?" "Um... Yes, thats enough." "Then, please rest well, sir. Its getting late." After Andrew left, the elders gaze turned icily cold, and he spat into a spittoon on the floor. Whats so great about being the chairman of this crappy towns Alchemy Guild? Over in Winter City, he spoke with unrivaled authority as a magistrate! The other party merely coveted his abilities and his alchemical skills. And about that contract. According to Ryan, if he signed it, he probably wouldnt be able to resist it anymore, right? Hed end up like those controlled by him, endlessly selling his life away. The elder approached the dressing table mirror in his room and stared at the age spots on his face. Three days time should be enough. He had studied Necromancy and the revival of the undead for so many years C wasnt it all for this day? Noss sought immense power and the ultimate truth. What he yearned for was simple. It was nothing more than... youth. ... [Traveler, you have exhausted all your time points.] [At dawn, the guards came looking for you, demanding that you recharge your time points, or hand over adult Snowworms. Otherwise, you would be forcibly taken into the town to raise Snowworms, wholly dedicating yourself to the Lord.] [You agreed to the guards demands.] [However, Cat Cat and Aina accurately predicted your move.] [Weier stated that if you were going to raise Snowworms, youd do it together.] [They secretly went and signed a contract, then paid off the time points for you. Seeing that you had sufficient points, the guards then left.] Luo Xi: "..." Well, Ive been duped by those two sisters. I thought it unnecessary to expose Weier and Aina to the potential dangers of this town, which is why I wanted them to leave first. Now I cant enter the town with a valid reason. But really, theres no rush. The current progress is at [1%], meaning that almost 200 peoples contracts have been replaced. Between people, as long as there is no complete cutoff, there will eventually be contact, and the changes in contracts will spread through the town over time, like ink in water, coloring the entire town more and more quickly. [Traveler, given the circumstances, you decide to try and raise the so-called snowworms outside first.] [Soon after, the juvenile snowworms were delivered to you.] [Traveler, the three of you look at the plump, large snowworms in the basket, lost in thought.] [Each snowworm is the size of a mans finger, constantly wriggling in the basket.] [Cat Cat quietly stepped back two paces.] [According to the breeding manual, if fed with ordinary feed, the snowworms take about eight months to mature and will eventually grow to the thickness of a babys arm.] [You can also add human blood to the feed.] [Then, the breeding time for the snowworms will be greatly shortened, the quality of the adult worms will be higher, and the reward you get in the end will be greater.] [Note: You can also add xx, maybe the quality will be even better?] What? What is xx? ... Weier was hesitant to look at the big, white bugs in the basket. She regretted deciding to breed snowworms with Luo Xi, this freak. Arent these bugs just disgusting? In Shining Country, because of the constant low temperatures, creatures like bugs are almost unseen, and for girls like Aina and her, these bugs are indescribably intimidating. "Sister, these bugs are so fun, long and squishy, hehe, and they contract when scared." Aina played with the worm in her hand with a ??? expression, fearlessly. Weier: "!" She had thought her timid sister would be afraid, but there she was, fearlessly taking a worm out of the basket, letting it crawl in her palm, and even showing it to her. Was Aina really that brave? So, was she the one who was actually cowardly? ()! She didnt want to admit such a thing! Luo Xi said, "Let me take it to my world and see what this thing looks like." After a flash of pure white light, the snowworm in Ainas hand vanished. Luo Xi also entered an idle state. Weier knew that Luo Xi must have logged out temporarily. Would this guy fulfill the promise he made to let her visit his world today? Cat Cat blinked slightly. She looked at the snowworms in the basket and then walked outside, looking towards the spot where the Hollow Flower fossil was located. For some reason, she felt as if she had experienced this not just once today. It was fine during the day, but the dj vu was somewhat strong at night. Is it an illusion? ... In the living room, Luo Xi looked at the lifeless, white worm taken from the dream world and placed on the table. It somewhat resembled a real silkworm, but the size was completely different; this thing was only finger-sized as a juvenile. Food or spices made from this creature are highly addictive. Despite what seems like a generous concession with the 1200-hour contract, Luo Xi discovered that everything related to snowworms is quite expensive, and these points are hardly enough to spend, just like rich people who encounter gambling and drugs will eventually go bankrupt in reality. If allowed to spread in the dream world, those at the bottom of that world might live even harder lives than they do now. This is something that Xia country understands deeply in reality. [Snowworm (Juvenile, Dead)] [Quality: White (Common+)] [Category: Breedable Origin Beast (Tier 0)] [Attributes: The whole body is a treasure, the skin and body fluids can be made into high-end spices and food] [Description: Occasional eating is okay, but too much can lead to addiction~] Is that all there is to this snowworm? Luo Xi had the feeling he was missing something. He called upstairs, "Ai Xue, come down for a moment!" "Coming, Senpai." Ai Xue ran downstairs in casual wear, her ample bosom bouncing as she moved, as if they were about to come out. All Luo Xi could think was that this girl was too careless. [Note: After all, she believes youre a loli-con who doesnt like them big~] Slander! Thats blatant slander! Luo Xi pointed at the snowworm and asked, "Can you use your talent to have a look?" "Sure, Senpai, just a moment." Ai Xue activated her Eye of Truth talent. What she saw with her talent matched mostly what Luo Xi saw through text. However, an additional piece of information appeared at the end. [Description (Hidden): This snowworm has been modified by another world travelerAndrew] Luo Xi: "." So it has shown its true colors, huh? Indeed, it is due to the influence of a player that this town has been turned into what it is today. Chapter 268 - 218 Gradually Obedient Beast Eared Lolita Sisters_1 Chapter 268: Chapter 218 Gradually Obedient Beast Eared Lolita Sisters_1Ande. This person was probably one of the first Dreamland Travelers. Were these modified creatures abilities a result of his talent? Damn text, come out and tell me who this guy is? [Note: I really dont know~ (Seriously)] Then come out, ai damn... let it slide this time. Are you saying the talents of others arent something you stuffed in? [Note: Do I look that idle to you?] Luo Xi was very skeptical. If youre not dying of boredom, then why are you always hanging around me? He reached out and poked the Snowworm corpse on the table. Cold and icy. Then Luo Xi made a call, asking the travel agency to come and take the Snowworm for testing, and incidentally pocketed fifty thousand yuan. The travel agency had a reward scheme for purchasing things from the Dream world, including the corpses of exotic creatures like Origin Beasts, or books from the Dream world, all of which could fetch a considerable sum of money. Essence Crystals in particular could fetch up to eight hundred thousand yuan per kilogram, far exceeding the price in the Dream world of 10 gold coins for one kilogram. But it was understandable. Since flawless Yuan Su didnt exist in reality, Essence Crystals were one of the few items in the real world that could replenish a Transcendents strength. Without Yuan Su, whether Sublimated or Mutated Transcenders, they would rely solely on pure Strength and Physique in a fight. Next, he would raise some Snowworms for a few days, waiting for the contract revision to fill up. Luo Xi was already eager to see when Belgri Town would change its name. He really wanted to spit on that smug face of Lord Andrew of Belgri. Speaking of which. Should he bring over Cat Cat, fulfilling the promise today? Luo Xi rubbed his forehead. Due to two regressions causing negative effects, Luo Xis all qualities in the Dream world had dropped by 20%, and his spirit in reality was also a bit off. Now, even practicing swordsmanship didnt seem appealing. Ai Xue whispered, "Senior, you dont look so good. Do you need to rest? Its only around eight oclock now." "No rush. Theres still stuff to do over there." Luo Xi glanced at his text. [Traveler, you cut open your wrist, and a large amount of blood flows out, mixing into the regular feed] [The fresh blood intermingles with the feed, producing gurgling bubbles, as if the Snowworm food has been corroded by an acidic liquid, turning into a brownish-red paste] [It looks somewhat like the food enchanted by the A-San people, clean and sanitary] [Ding! Your pain value +20] [Weier immediately comes over to bandage your hand, meanwhile scolding, "Are you sick or something, you pervert? Why would you really bleed yourself?"] [Traveler, you say, "Just trying."] [Weier thinks it over and asks, "Will you over there feel the pain?"] ["No."] Sar?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Cat Cat flicks her tail straight up and pushes you away all at once] [Weier points at you (n) and says, "Aina, did you see that? This pervert likes to use this method to fish for sympathy. Even if he dies, we wont care about him!"] [Little Wolf Girl tilts her head, playing carelessly with a Snowworm, and says, "But just now, Aina didnt care, it was sister who got anxious."] ["Aina, you dummy!"] [Traveler, you look at the two noisy lolitas, smile, pour the feed into the pile of Snowworms, and then walk out of the room] [Early in the morning, many people in the residential area are already awake and out] ["Mr. Luo Xi, oh, its you guys!"] [You see Kyro again, the young man with horse ears next door, as he waves and runs over to you] [Kyro arrives beside you, puzzled, "Did you also sign the Snowworm breeding contract? Are you not traveling anymore?"] [Traveler, you pat his shoulder and smile, "Just taking a brief pause."] ["I see. Well, Im going to my masters place. Mr. Luo Xi, your two cute little wives are looking at you, so I wont disturb you any further."] [Kyro grins joyfully, turns around, and runs toward the ring road, his body full of drive] [Cute little wives...] [Traveler, you look back and see Weier and Aina standing at the entrance on the first floor, looking at you] ["People like him should not end up being exploited to death by the so-called lord here, treated no better than an ox or horse."] [Traveler, you say softly with a smile, "Someone who cherishes his dreams and works tirelessly towards them should indeed receive ample rewards, shouldnt he?"] [Weier also speaks softly, "But its not just here. As long as you are a Mutant Patient, no matter where you are, you will not be treated well. No matter what you do, the end result will never be too good."] ["Even if he leaves here, he can only go back to his home. But isnt the Counterfeit God Tree over there dying? In the end, he will be displaced."] [Traveler, you fall silent] [What Cat Cat said was the reality of this world] [Winter City, Belgri Town, Vita Village, from the largest to the smallest place, everyone shows blatant discrimination against Mutant Patients, aiming to alter such a mindset is almost impossible] [Its ingrained deep in the very consciousness of the humanity of this world] [Aina says tearfully, "Aina is going to follow Brother Luo Xi anyway. Mom is gone, and if Brother doesnt want Aina, then Aina will only be left to grow old alone with sister."] [A p pops up over Weiers head, "So are you doing this for that Kyro?"] "Its not like that; Im not Gay." [Note: Just to clarify, thats not a Lolita either] Crawl! "Ai Xue, Im heading over to the Dream World for a bit." "Ah, okay." Luo Xi used Immersion once, and his head heavily fell back. There were some things he wanted to say in person. Ai Xue hurriedly propped up Luo Xi as he lay down. The girl glanced down at her own snowy white... thighs. She already knew that her senior didnt like big ones. So, would her senior like a knee pillow? She gently laid Luo Xi down on the sofa and then placed the back of his head on her thighs. Humph. She didnt know what kind of opponent she was facing in the Dream World, but the early bird catches the worm, and how could any of you possibly have as convenient an opportunity as me! [Note: Stupid girl, you should have taken advantage of this moment to forcefully turn your senior into a done deal~] Of course, Ai Xue couldnt see that sentence. The Damn Text only jumped out when Luo Xis consciousness was awake in the Dream World. It made him realize what Ai Xue might have done on the other side. But it probably wasnt the kind of thing that would get censored. The Damn Text also said it wasnt idle, but its temptations couldnt be seen and its nonsense couldnt be heard. Luo Xi shook his somewhat heavy head. Then he looked at the Cat Cat standing outside the door. Weier was staring straight at him. Her light red pupils were calm like still water. She said nothing. There was an almost unbelievable feeling, like being watched by a pet cat - a feeling of mutual trust where no matter what he wanted to say next, she would accept it. Aina leaned against the doorframe, her tea gold-colored eyes looking at him, seemingly waiting for his answer. Luo Xi suddenly felt stage fright. Why are you guys taking this so seriously! [Note: Trash Traveler, speak your cringeworthy declaration already!] Crawl! x2 So who am I doing this for, after all? In Luo Xis mind, the scene where Kyros neck was crushed by Andrew came to mind. As well as the scene where the Mutant Patients from Winter City were ostracized by the city folks and beaten by guards. Luo Xi softly said, "Even though I say that, I actually dont care much about what happens to those people I dont know." "I just dont want to see people I know, even if its just someone I greeted one day and had a brief acquaintance with, dying helplessly in some corner." "Pretty honest, isnt it?" Luo Xi said to the two girls with a shrug and a laugh: "However, this is the real me. Up until now, Ive just wanted to look around this world, not wanting to be bothered by all these damn twisted issues." Weier said, "But youve still decided to do something about it here." "Yeah." Luo Xi sighed and walked over to Cat Cat, petting her head with practiced ease. Weiers eyes were complicated, but this time she didnt resist, allowing Luo Xis hand to pet her head a few times. Aina also ran over from behind, and Luo Xi put his other hand on her head. [Note: Submissive beast-eared sisters~ Nice! Training successful!] Cat Cat murmured, "Youre really strange, always thinking about meddling in things that dont concern you, knowingly jumping into a pit of mud." "After all, expecting humanity to stay rational forever is asking for too much." Luo Xi smiled and said, "Sometimes theres no deep reason at all, just a desire to do something?" "To me, this world has problems." "So, since I have the ability, why not make it a little better? Make it change in the direction I want it to?" Weier couldnt help but shake her head with a smile. If it were someone else she didnt know, shed think he was crazy, spouting nonsense. Why did she start to think favorably of him, anyway? Because he looked quite handsome like that. Suddenly, Weier asked, "Are the two of us getting in your way?" [Note: Do you even need to ask? Youve already broken the Trash Travelers invincible path, now hell only fall deeper into luring Lolitas~ Youre doing great! (Approval)] Luo Xi seriously said, "No." If it werent for meeting Weier and Aina, he might have completely disregarded the authenticity of this world, treating it like a real game to play. "Hmph, I dont buy it. Dont forget you thought about leaving without a word." Weiers lips curled up slightly, "Speaking of which, could we consider letting me come over to your place? The sunlight here is quite nice today, how about over there?" Chapter 269 - 215 - Death to loli-con, get ready for punishment!_1 Chapter 269: Chapter 215 - Death to loli-con, get ready for punishment!_1Luo Xi hesitated for a moment. Weiers icy eyebrows raised in dissatisfaction, "Whats the matter, Aina can go, but I cant? I want to see for myself what youve done to our bed!" Luo Xi: "...." Just say you want to come over, Cat Cat. Why make up excuses about seeing the bed? That tsundere attitude of hers was truly consistent. But Luo Xi still felt somewhat guilty as he turned his head. After all, he had been using the two sisters beds, pillows, and blankets as his own for quite some days now; admitting such a thing always felt embarrassing, making him seem like a real pervert. Aina chuckled from the side, "Dont worry, sister, brother just slept smelling the scent of Aina and sister~" Luo Xi said guiltily, "I didnt do it on purpose!" "You damn pervert... Anyway, Im going to check it out for myself!" Weier grabbed Luo Xi by the sleeve and dragged him towards the room, huffing, "Hurry up and hand it over!" Luo Xi whispered, "Its not that you cant go, but if you were over there, it would be hard for me to take care of both you and Aina here." "Plus, using the cradle here might alert the Lord to some issues." Weiers body stiffened. The girl also realized she might have been a bit too obstinate. It was clear Luo Xi wanted to do something here; if she went over to his place now, shed just be adding trouble for him. Weier lowered her head, "I understand..." "Sorry." Luo Xi sighed, "I originally wanted you to leave last night, to leave this town and then Id leave the cradle for you, but since you all followed me here, its no longer a good idea." Andrew had been keeping an eye on Grace Ring Street and this residential area. It was very likely that he would notice something was amiss here; Luo Xi didnt want to invite more trouble. Even though he could turn back time, this was already the second time that day, and the mental strain was becoming quite obvious. This time the negative effect lasted 16 hours, and if he turned back time a third time within these 16 hours, the duration of the negative effects could very well double. Allowing the Damn Text to develop quietly and then overrule this place was much easier than fighting bigger bosses and then dealing with smaller ones. Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Late at night. Weier took out her notebook from her bag, cast a glance at Luo Xi lying under the bed in his blanket, sleeping, and Aina beside him, then began to write with gentle motions. [Pan-continental Calendar 3970, December 11th, Overcast] [Last night we agreed to investigate this place, but that guy Luo Xi suddenly started talking about raising Snowworms. When asked why, he was evasive, as if he knew that something undesirable would happen if we went to explore... although I also have an unexplainable feeling about it. Well, since were companions, lets just go along with his nonsense. Human beings, indeed, find it hard to stay rational, myself included. To what extent can this pervert go? But when this guy is serious, he does look a bit handsome (strikeout). Im looking forward to the day when I can go there~] [Pan-continental Calendar 3970, December 12th, Snowing] [Today I wandered around Grace Ring Street for a long time with nothing to do, then went back and raised Snowworms for the day. Luo Xi peacefully stayed all day at the place were staying, donating a lot of blood. He almost drained himself dry. I must say, these Snowworms grow really fast, the biggest one is already the size of a small arm. Especially after feeding them the blood-mixed fodder, the Snowworms started to look somewhat ferocious. Aina didnt dare to touch them, a few Snowworms even grew black scale-like things. I suspect that it has something to do with the influence of Luo Xis blood. I wonder what would happen if we fed them with mine or Ainas blood?] ... The real world, October 9th; Dream world, December 13th. When morning light began to stream through the window, Luo Xi was already wide awake. Master Jiujian hadnt been doing much these past few days, canceling swordsmanship lessons every morning. The current progress for contract modification is[65.32%]. That means over ten thousand people in Belgri Town have already quietly completed the contract modification. But this progress has suddenly slowed down; at this rate, the task wont be finished in another week. Luo Xi considered a possibility. Could it be because the remaining people barely interact with others? As long as theres social activity, it is difficult to avoid contact with others, and the Damn Texts modified contracts are quite domineering, allowing changes without physical touching; even indirect contact through objects like money works. But there will always be people who can stay at home all day. Moreover, in this town, many have been pressured to the point of misery, perhaps not even having the strength to leave their homes. Is a conversion rate of eighty percent required? Thats still over three thousand people. [Traveler, you got up from the ground, fed some fodder to the Snowworms in the cage, glanced at the two sisters still asleep on the bed, and quietly left the house] ["Long live Lord Andrew of Belgri!"] [Walking down the street, you suddenly hear many people shouting] [In the past, you found out that Andrew held a celebration because his son, Ryan, found an excellent alchemy teacher, and that teacher was about to become the head of Belgri Towns Alchemy and Craftsman Association. Tonight, there would be a banquet that would accommodate twenty thousand people covering the entire town.] [Andrew ordered that today no one needs to work, simply being well-fed is enough, which is why these people were chanting "Long live the Lord".] [Traveler, you were struck with an idea.] [Isnt this the perfect opportunity?!] [After tonight, the amount of modification to the contract will inevitably skyrocket.] ["Why are they so fanatical? There are many pure-blooded humans among them, and theyre treated pretty well no matter where they go."] [Weiers voice rang out behind you.] [Traveler, you looked back at Cat Cat, who had silently followed you and laughed, "Because regardless of whether theyre Mutant Patients or not, everyone hopes their Lord is a good one. Its the naive people, brimming with such thoughts, who are the easiest to deceive."] ["Lets go back. The rules of victory are now set in stone."] [Just wait for tomorrow to come.] [Traveler, you took Cat Cat back to the room you were assigned.] [To prepare for the possible battle ahead, now is the time to pet Weier and Ainas tails and ears, and accumulate a large amount of Happiness Level!] [Note: Garbage Traveler, dont use accumulating Happiness Level as an excuse! Hentai!] No way! Whats wrong with relaxing a bit! Luo Xi rubbed his own shoulders. They were somewhat sore. Should he try back stepping to relieve the pressure? But in reality, the only one he could get in touch with was Ai Xue, and she returned to her normal size during this time, so probably not good for stepping, and its weird just thinking about it. To be honest, knee pillows are quite comfortable too, the fragrance of a young girl upon waking up and the towering obstruction from sight made it quite pleasant... Luo Xi knocked on his head. What was he thinking about, all this nonsense. [Traveler, you hugged Ainas tail and happily ruaed it.] [Ding! Your Happiness Level +100] [At that moment, you heard someone knocking at the door.] [You went over and opened the door to find that it was the same Ri Island Country player you had met a few days ago.] .... In Tokyo of Ri Island, inside a rental room. Kobayashi Wild, one of the players who participated in the small-scale test on the eve of "Dawns" second beta test, had just entered the game two days ago.] [Traveler, you encountered the person who had kicked you away last night; he walked into the room with a young beast eared girl, and what would happen next was easily imaginable.] Kobayashi Wild looked at the text in rage, cursing, "Damn it! This bastard still dares to stay here! He even laid hands on the beast eared girls! And there are two of them!"] His spawn point was near Belgri Town, so he went directly there and had been hanging around for several days without gaining anything. He signed a Snowworm breeding contract for a month, but those time points were nearly all used up. As for finding a clue to the path of Transcendence, he didnt have any leads. "Why can this pervert become so powerful!" "No way, I have to expose this guy! Hes from Xia country right? Xia country is very strict about these things. As long as they know what he did, even if its in the Dream World, they will surely arrest him and put him behind bars, right?" Kobayashi Wild revealed a smug smile. He had thought the Talent he chose wasnt very useful. Now, it seems like it might be time to put it to use. [Do you want to use your Talent: Live Projection?] [Live Projection (Zi/Epic) C Allows you to project what you have seen and experienced in the Dream World into the real world you are in (can be used three times per day, each lasting one hour).] Kobayashi Wild quickly set up the projector screen and recording camera in his rental room. With a beam of light shooting from his forehead, the Dream World was projected onto the white screen. [Traveler, you went up and knocked on the door of that room.] [After about a dozen seconds, the door opened. Coming from inside was an Asian-looking youth and a white-haired, red-eyed Lolita with cat ears, probably about one and a half meters tall. She was much more beautiful than those girls dressed as anime characters in Akihabara.] ["What do you want? Looking for a beating again?" the youth said to you.] [Traveler, rage surged within you, but recalling what you wanted to do, you suppressed your anger, peered inside.] [Inside, there was another young beast eared girl hugging her Big Tail, her cute face still flushed with a hint of red, as if she had been subjected to some mischief.] [Thats it! This guy definitely did something wrong!] [Traveler, you pointed at him and said, "Die, Loli-con! Ive recorded all your criminal activities, await the punishment from your country!"] [After saying that, you immediately ran off. The youth had not yet reacted, cursed you as a lunatic and shut the door.] .... Luo Xi looked at the text description with a bewildered face. What the heck? Wasnt it just a kick you gave him before, how did it turn into such a crazy affair? Chapter 271 - 220 Wei’er: Don’t touch Aina, touch me instead!_1 Chapter 271: Chapter 220 Weier: Dont touch Aina, touch me instead!_1"Mr. Kels, thank you for joining us. This is the contract you need to sign," Andrew placed a golden-glittering piece of parchment on the table. He leaned back in his luxurious, gold-trimmed high stool, looking down at the old man before him and said with a smile, "As long as you sign the contract, you may utilize all the resources of Belgri Town as you please. You may start from scratch to establish the Alchemy and Craftsman Association. Furthermore, should the Belgri Divine Tree upgrade, I will not forget Mr. Kelss contributions." "Hmm." The old man responded with a smile, then glanced at the text on the parchment. The content of the contract was as he had expected. Voluntarily dedicate ones soul to the Belgri Divine Tree and Lord Andrew Volke, while enjoying the greatest resource allocation of Belgri Town. Just as the Winter Divine Tree has the power to freeze all things, the power of the Belgri Divine Tree must be this kind of controlling force through the contract. This type of binding that restricts the soul with the Power of Divine Tree, once signed, would mean he couldnt oppose Andrew for the rest of his life. However, there were loopholes in the contract. The old man asked with a smile, "If I choose not to sign, would you allow me to leave, Lord?" "Why wouldnt I?" Andrews eyes twinkled as he replied with a warm smile, "I do not like to coerce others. Besides, you are still my sons teacher." "I understand now." The old man picked up the pen and boldly signed his name on the paper. He thought to himself, if you would actually allow me to leave, that would be the day. Apart from him, there were only three Tier Three Transcendents in the town; most of the others were common folk and Variants. The Lord himself was only at the early stages of Tier Three. If it werent for his status as the controller of the Divine Tree that allowed him to wield the Power of Divine Tree regardless of his own strength, perhaps the place should have been named after him by now. Upon seeing the old man sign, Andrews smile grew even more pronounced, "Then, I would ask you to continue to teach my son wholeheartedly. Whatever you need, feel free to ask, and if theres any problem, you may inquire now." "Indeed, there is one thing," The old man asked, "When is the Belgri Divine Tree supposed to upgrade, and how much longer will it take?" After pondering for a moment, Andrew replied, "According to the original plan, roughly... we still need the contracts of fifty thousand ordinary people. Replacing common people with Variants could significantly reduce the number. Each Variant is at least worth four or five pure-blooded commoners, or contracts of a hundred Tier Three Transcendents like yourself, or five Tier Four Transcendents." The old man: "... Is this guy daydreaming? Not to mention pure-blooded commoners and Variants, Winter City, at its peak, didnt have fifty third-tier sublimated persons, and there were fewer than ten Tier Three peak Skill Practitioners like himself, not to mention five Tier Four Transcendents. This Lord must be out of his mind, right?" "But rest assured, sir," Andrew, afraid that his newly recruited subordinate might think he was bragging, quickly added, "The upgrade of the Belgri Divine Tree was originally impossible. But now, theres a possibility." "Oh?" The old man inquired, "Whats the reason?" "That would be the snowworms." Andrew casually stretched out his hand and pulled out a plump white worm, holding it in his palm with a smile: "Who would have thought that the modified snowworms left by that person could be used to promote the upgrade of the Belgri Divine Tree when fed with blood! One hundred of them can equal the contract of one ordinary person! And an ordinary person or a Variant can raise at least a thousand snowworms for me in a year!" "So, its like a tenfold amplification of their contract effect? These snowworms have such a use?" The old man became interested all at once. "Indeed, who could have thought of such a usage for these snowworms... Its a pity I accidentally let slip the person who transformed the snowworms." Andrew sighed, "Actually, the street layout you see now and some of the selling methods were all instructed to me by that strange man. Somehow, he managed to take many senior craftsmen and sublimated persons with him when I was away and had closed the town." "The foundation of Belgri Town wasnt so poor at the beginning; it was he who took away my limited wealth." The old man grew curious, "What was the mans name?" "I remember, he said his name was Ande Adenis." ... Luo Xi waited outside until it was almost time for the synchronization, and then Weier finally opened the door to let him in. Aina was already sitting up in bed. The room was filled with the scent of flowers, mostly emanating from Little Wolf Girl. These two sisters, perhaps due to their years of living together, had nearly identical scents. However, Weiers scent was of a fresh and sweet floral fragrance, while Ainas was a sweeter flower scent. [Note: Little Wolf Girl is small, fragrant, sweet (*`)~ slurp~] Stop freaking out, Damn Text! Luo Xi criticized the Damn Text then walked in and asked, "Is she better now?" "How could it be so fast? Her fever has only just come down," Weier gave Luo Xi a contemptuous glance, "For the next few days, dont casually touch Ainas tail, got it? No, I need to keep a close eye on you, you pervert." Luo Xi: "..." "Sister Weier, Brother Luo Xi doesnt just touch Ainas tail for the sake of it," Little Wolf Girl spoke up in Luo Xis defense: "Aina can smell it, Brother must be getting something when he touches Ainas Mutant Factor, thats why he is so enthusiastic about it." Luo Xi felt incredibly moved. Truly, Little Wolf Girl understands others the best. If it werent for Ainas current ill health, he would definitely pick her up and spin her around. Weier frowned and said, "Pervert, is what Aina saying true?" Luo Xi replied, "Yes, its true. I said I could get Happiness Level, I need that thing." Weier reacted with (n), "What Happiness Level? It should be called Pervert Level, right!" [Note: Cat Cat is right. Its settled then, from now on Happiness Level will be renamed to Pervert Level!] Damn Text, you dare! Believe it or not, Im gonna fight you! Luo Xi had already imagined the scene where, while petting Cat Cat and Aina, a message would jump out, "Your perversion value +100". "So...." Weier, blushing, said hesitantly, "If its really necessary, then... then go ahead and touch mine, but you cant bury your face and suck, and dont press too hard." Luo Xi: "." He looked at the cat tail behind Weier, the corners of his mouth curled, and he reached out to grasp it in his hand. The long cat tail, while not as fluffy as Ainas wolf tail, was still very comfortable to touch and gave more of a tangible sensation. Luo Xi could clearly feel Cat Cats stiffness. He said, "Relax a bit." [Note: Relax a bit, and youll feel comfortable soon, right?] Huh?! [Ding! Your perversion value +50] Fxxk! Damn Text, change it back! "Hmph... how can I relax? Just play by yourself, Im going to rest." Weier pursed her lips, muttering as she lay on the bed and pulled up the quilt, tucking herself into it, leaving only her tail in Luo Xis hand. Aina blinked and reached into the blanket to grope around randomly, feigning surprise, "Weier sis, your body feels so hot too." "Stupid Aina, stop touching randomly!" A complaint came from inside the blanket from Cat Cat. Luo Xi smiled. From his bag, he took out some ribbons he had bought from a shop around the ring street, tied a pink ribbon around Cat Cats tail, and expertly made a butterfly knot. [Ding! Your happiness level +10] Aina said enviously from the side, "Thats so cute; I want one too, but Im too big, probably cant tie it." "What do you mean you cant tie it?" Weier poked her head out from under the quilt for a look, "Pervert, what did you tie on my tail?!" [Ding! Weiers embarrassment value +20] "A butterfly knot, isnt it cute?" "Its not cute at all!" The girl, like a cat that had its fur rubbed backward, retracted back under the quilt. [Ding! Your happiness level +20] Luo Xi played with the cat tail in his hand and suddenly thought of something; he asked, "Aina, did you get any new abilities after entering Mutation First-tier?" "Abilities?" Aina looked at her tail outside the blanket, "My tail seems to have gotten bigger, does that count?" Luo Xi: "?" [Note: Now you can really use it as a pillow~] Sarch* The n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The source of Ainas Mutant Factor must definitely be a Big Tail wolf! "There should also be..." Aina got up and with a few jumps, leaped off the bed, grabbing one of the normally bred fat worms from the snowworm feeding basket. "Brother Luo Xi, look." Aina placed the worm on her palm. Those tea gold eyes suddenly became incredibly bright. The fat worm was squashed flat in an instant, yet, surprisingly, no juices burst forth, and it continued to move; the snowworm seemed to be alive even in its flattened state. Luo Xi: "!" What kind of mutation ability is this? Luo Xi had already thought Cat Cats mutation ability was weird enough. How come Ainas ability is even stranger? Mutation abilities generally come from the origin Origin Beast, which indicates that the Beast inside Ainas body, potentially, also has such powers. Weier stuck out her head, saw this scene, and her eyes widened in astonishment: "Aina, is this the mutation ability you got?" Aina looked at the steadily less energetic flattened worm in her palm, with her big tail lifting up behind her, she smiled and said, "It should be... although Aina doesnt quite understand it, Brother, Sister, with this, can I be of help to you?" [Note: Garbage Traveler, dont provoke the Little Wolf Girl into becoming yandere, its getting more and more dangerous~ Be careful snip-snip~] ... Further north of the Shining Country, across the perpetually frozen sea. On a deserted icy plain, a gigantic black figure, as enormous as a small mountain, had been lying quietly at the summit of the ice plain. Suddenly, it opened its eyes, a pair of crimson-gold pupils gazing toward the south. This sensation is..... Impossible! It had been a long time since it had released its factor. Wait! In its memory surfaced an image of a woman, wounded all over, fainting at the edge of the icy sea. Was it that human from back then? Chapter 272 - 221: Sticky Liquid Smears the Face, Gold Snowworm!_1 Chapter 272: Chapter 221: Sticky Liquid Smears the Face, Gold Snowworm!_1When he emerged from the Dream World, Luo Xis mind was still filled with Ainas incredible ability. Could such a strange power really just come from a calamity-class Origin Beast? The same was true for Weier. Her ability to pass through solid matter at will was equally unbelievable. The fact that these two girls, unrelated by blood, could become sisters seemed like something fated. [After using her newly acquired Mutation ability, Aina became drowsy and nearly fell asleep. Traveler, you quickly caught her before she could fall and carried her back to bed.] [Weier scolded you as a brainless pervert, criticizing you for letting Aina use her abilities carelessly.] [Traveler, you humbly bowed your head and accepted Cat Cats criticism.] [While Cat Cat was taking care of her own sister, Traveler, you approached the Snowworm that had been affected by Ainas abilities.] [The Snowworm was already dead, but it still maintained its flattened state. It was hard to imagine where all the fluid inside the worm had gone.] [Traveler, you gently touched the Snowworm with your fingertip.] [Crack!] [Suddenly, the Snowworm burst open.] [You, caught off guard, got splattered with the sticky liquid from the inside of the Snowworm all over your face.] [Ding! Your SAN Value -100] [Weier heard the noise and looked at you in panic: "What happened?!"] [Then she paused, and with a look of disgust she said, "Ew, thats so disgusting, you pervert! Hurry up and go wash that off! Wash it ten times; otherwise, dont you ever touch me again!"] Luo Xi: "...." Cat Cats words seemed somehow off. [Note: Garbage Traveler, you could use your liquid to splatter Cat Cats face too!] Shut up! Dont spout dirty jokes at will! One could say being separated by the text has its significant advantages in times like these. At least he didnt have to actually feel the sensation of worm fluids on his face. ... Underneath the Belgri Divine Tree. One after another, workers carried baskets full of Snowworms to a warehouse beneath the Divine Tree. A foreman shouted, "Hurry, finish all of todays work, and tonight everybody can enjoy the feast personally prepared by Lord Andrew. Lets be grateful for Lord Andrews grace!" "Oh." "Thank you, Lord Andrew..." The workers replied listlessly. All of them had arms full of scars and pale faces, clearly showing a lack of vigor. "Louder! Havent you eaten? You should be grateful!" "We thank Lord Andrew..." The replies of the workers were still soft. Eaten? To ensure the stable production of Snowworms, Andrew provided them with enough food, but the nutrition from those meals, given their frequent bloodletting, was like throwing a drop of water in the desert. A frail man murmured, "When will Andrew die, that lemon." "You bastard, what are you saying?!" A whip lashed out, instantly sending the man to his knees, clutching his leg and wailing. The foreman retracted the whip, proudly shouting, "No slacking off! Everyone quickly finish the mornings work. In the afternoon, Lord Andrew has more tasks for the feast that youll help with. Remember to bring the women from your homes; theyre needed to wash vegetables and cook. Consider it a day off for you." No one dared refuse. After all, the contract had made it clear: they absolutely could not defy Lord Andrews wishes, even in death. Once the foreman left, a bald man helped the beaten man up, sighing, "Dont antagonize people like him. Hes just one of Lord Andrews dogs. If anything happens to the Lord, hell die faster than any of us." The man replied with a bitter smile, "Andrew in trouble? Impossible. Here hes the emperor whose word is law. Six months ago, when that strange man tried to persuade us, I should have left with him. Now Im stuck, and if this continues, I wont last much longer, just like old Dornan." "Sigh... Who knew that afterward, Lord Andrew would become like a man possessed." The bald man let out a long sigh, "But at least now I know, Mutant Patients are no different from people like us." He looked around at his fellow workers. Bull horns, goat horns, dog ears, cat tails, snake scales... More than half of those here had Mutation Syndrome, lured from outside by Lord Andrew in various ways after the change in Belgri Town six months ago. Some Variants had even traveled hundreds of kilometers on foot through the wilderness before the snowscape, filled with hopes for a better future, only to find themselves in a deeper pit. Had they known, they wouldve been better off mining Essence Minerals in the mines. And someone like him, a pureblood human, was no different in treatment to those with Mutation Syndrome under Andrews merciless exploitation. What did being a pureblood human matter? To high-ranking persons, they were still just livestock. Mutant Patients could even withstand more than they could. "When will these days come to an end?" ... /// [Traveler, around six in the evening, the passages from Grace Ring Street to inside the town opened up, and many people carrying food emerged from the town, placing the food directly at the center of Grace Ring Street.] [Almost five kilometers of the ring street was packed with people.] [Those who came out from the town mostly looked emaciated.] [However, those outsiders who were yet unaware of the truth did not suspect that these people had been mis-treated.] [In their hearts, Lord Andrew was a great benefactor!] [Traveler, you too tried asking some people who came out about their situation.] [They would only sing praises of how selfless and kind Lord Andrew was.] [Is it because the constraints of the contract havent yet been lifted?] Luo Xi glanced at the progress of altering the contract. [68.32%] The rate of progress had increased significantly. ["Ladies and gentlemen, tonights banquet has officially begun. Dont be shy, eat as much as you like. If its not enough, we have more!"] Sar?h the N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ["Look up! Lord Andrew is in the sky!"] ["Long live Lord Andrew!"] ["Long live!"] [Amid a resounding chorus of cheers, only those who came out from the town sounded weak and breathless.] [Traveler, you noticed that some people were stealthily exchanging looks.] [What are they planning to do?] [Suddenly, someone stood up, took out a device like a megaphone and shouted, "This Lord is a big fraud! Dont believe him! Those who havent signed the contract yet, go! He will treat you like"]} [Bang!] [The voice abruptly ceased, and the person exploded into a mist of blood.] [Immediately after, dozens more people took out their voice amplifiers to shout, but just after a few words they too burst apart.] [The blood mist drifted onto the food laid out on the ground.] [Silence fell over the venue.] [It was then followed by commotion; some screamed in fear, others cried or cursedthey were all newcomers.] [Andrews laughter came from above, "Eat, why arent you eating? Finish your meal and go to work properly tomorrow."] [Traveler, you realize that this Grace Ring Street is actually a rat trap.] [Aside from those lucky enough to come and go in a short while, there is no such thing as voluntarily signing a contract.] [Once the rat trap closes, this Lord wont let you gothis is the true reason he dares to host this banquet so recklessly.] [Whether the people outside know the truth or not is of no concern to him; just stuffing them all into the town suffices.] [There will always be more people arriving here with hope for the future.] [This person deserves to die.] [Ding! Your Killing Intent Value +100] ... Lords manor. The old man watched with a smile as the Lords young child, Ryan Volk, wrote down the alchemy formulas he had taught on paper. A rare opportunity. Andrew thought that after signing this contract, none of his subordinates could harm him or his relatives, so he felt assured leaving the boy here. But it was Kels who represented that part of the soul that signed the contract. What does that have to do with me, Delkus? Ryan picked up the paper and handed it to the old man, "Teacher, can you check if I wrote this correctly?" The old man took it but did not look at it immediately. Instead, he said: "Ryan, look at your teacher." "Hm?" The boy looked up, his gaze blankly meeting the old mans. In an instant, their gazes intertwined, and Ryan felt a wave of dizziness coming from his head. He supported his head, puzzled, "Teacher, what is this..." The old man kindly said, "Teacher is going to check your body to see how strong your spirit is and whether you can learn the more advanced alchemy techniques." Ryan excitedly said, "So thats it! Can I learn?" "Of course... you can." The old man squinted his eyes, and in a moment, the other half of the soul that had been forcibly severed surged into the boys body. Ryans body shook, and he fell into a stupor. Dividing the soul and transferring it, even among the spiritual careers of necromancers, was one of the most challenging tasks. Dividing was easy. Transferring was hard. The world rules set by the great will determined that other souls could hardly exist within a life form that already possessed a soul. However, after creating so many walking dead in Winter City and using the curse that absorbed others spiritual essence to replenish his own, Delkus still barely found a way to transfer. It wasnt necessary for the soul to enter the others body and take over. The soul is but an extension of memory. So, if the others soul was filled with your memories, would they become you? The old man didnt know; he was gambling. As the other half of his soul disintegrated, the old man already felt his aging body become powerless. He looked at the young boy before him, revealing a smile. "Will it succeed?" This childs soul compatibility was the highest he had found in his journey. If this failed, then he probably was destined to never succeed, right? At that moment, a terrifying voice echoed next to his ear. "What have you done to my son? Never mind, I cant be bothered to ask." Andrew sighed, "I thought I could find a truly loyal subordinate, but you finally revealed your true colors." "That guy before left a curious Gold Snowworm synthesis formula." "So today let me try, using you as the main ingredient for that synthesis." [Gold Snowworm] [Formula: Quality adult Snowworm x1, life sacrifices of ten thousand people, the soul of a Transcendent with strong spiritual power (Success Rate: 33%)] [Effect: Can be used as a primary ingredient for any Sublimated person to enter Tier Four, side effects unknown.] ... /// October 10th a.m. Luo Xi hadnt slept, still waiting for the progress to fill up. After the banquet that evening, the current progress was [99.56%]. He was getting impatient. After Andrews performance, the newly arrived people lost trust in him. But he didnt care. Once the town was sealed, nobody could escape. Luo Xi didnt care either. After all it was almost... Suddenly, Luo Xis expression changed. [The house was shaking] [Traveler, you ran out with Cat Cat and Aina on the bed, then saw a golden creature at least a dozen meters long clinging to the branches of the distant Divine Tree.] [In the night sky, there were countless people floating, being continuously devoured by the golden creature.] Luo Xi: "!" What the hell is this? Did we have this before? Where did it come from! ---- ---- Some people ask when the extras will come; at least until the end of next month I wont have time to write, so everyone please wait a bit. Chapter 274 - 222: Aina Can Also Be the Protagonist for Brother! Kissing is Also Possible! (5k) _2 Chapter 274: Chapter 222: Aina Can Also Be the Protagonist for Brother! Kissing is Also Possible! (5k) _2The boy seemed like a patient with split personality, clutching his head as he squatted on the ground, howling in painon one hand, believing he was Ryan, on the other, thinking he was Delkus. Luo Xi: "???" What did he hear? Delkus?! Wasnt that the name of the Grand Chancellor from Winter City? Sear?h the ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Why would this lords child claim he was Delkus? [Traveler, you have triggered a special quest: The Reencounter with the Necromancy (Part II).] [Quest Brief: You have encountered a child who claims to be Delkus. He should be the son of a lord, but his current mental state seems somewhat abnormal. Traveler, you may attempt to delve further into this.] Luo Xi went over, squatted down, and tried to assess the childs condition. Back then, Hill had shown similar symptoms; his mind was ensnared by his so-called foster father. But what about this child? "What a coincidence." The boy stood up, clutching his head, and said with a deep look in his eyes, "I never expected to meet you again. Back at St. Sound Sanatorium, I confronted you once, and I remember giving you a Life Shatter. You should not have possibly survived, yet you appeared again on that night. Who exactly are you?" Luo Xi narrowed his eyes, a possibility surfacing in his mind. He said, "Delkus, have you taken over this childs body?" "Delkus? Yes, I am... no, thats not right, I am Ryan..." Luo Xi watched speechlessly as the boy had another fit. This kid could join the club with Hill from Winter City before he returned to normal. Why did he always encounter troubled children? [Note: Oh Traveler, could it possibly be your fault? Not only do you attract cute Little Lolitas, but also troubled little boys~] Impossible, absolutely impossible! Weier came over and looked at the child, asking, "What should we do now?" "What to do..." After thinking for a moment and glancing at the golden Snowworm still feeding, Luo Xi said, "Wait here for me; Ill go check things out." "You still want to go there at this time? Are you seeking death? Ive just discovered that these Snowworms are alchemical creatures whose life essence has been altered!" Ryan, clutching his head and with a crazed expression, proclaimed, "Those are alchemical creatures only a Sixth-order Grandmaster with countless times my alchemical prowess could create. Their very essence is evil and devouring, transforming external life energy into their own origin! It is more malevolent than Necromancy!" "This is the reason their larvae, the Snowworms, can absorb the blood of humans and Variants, gaining different traits! That golden Snowworm has already grown halfway to maturity. Unless we cut off the source, theres no stopping it!" "Who is the source?" "What do you think?" The black iron sphere hidden by Spark emerged from his bag, with black liquid covering half of Luo Xis arm. The remaining liquid formed a flowing pool beneath Luo Xis feet, lifting his body off the ground. Luo Xi lifted the child, sneering, "It seems you know quite a lot. Then come with me." The boy exclaimed in terror, "No, dont take me there; Ive just managed to obtain youth, a brand-new life! Dont send me back! No, thats wrong, be quiet, I want to see my father!" "He really is schizophrenic..." Luo Xi handed a stack of scrolls from his bag to Cat Cat, saying, "Ill make a trip over there; stay safe on your own." Weier nodded lightly, watching the young mans figure and whispered, "Be careful." Even though Luo Xi always said he wouldnt die. Still, this feeling made her uncomfortable. If only she could be stronger. Within Belgri Town. Many people were running frantically through the streets, then a force yanked them upwards into the sky, where they became fodder for the Snowworms. Luo Xi didnt bother with them. He questioned the boy in his hand, "What has your father done?" "Hes not my father!" The boy struggled in Luo Xis grasp, proclaiming, "Like Noss, hes just another lunatic, but from the start, I felt his spirit was affected by somethingutterly abnormal." "Youre not normal, either." "I wont deny it." "Delkus, why did you harm so many people?" "Need a reason? I needed them as materials for my research, thats all." "Then you indeed deserve to die." "Heh, there are many like me in this world. Even within the Shining Country, within the Noah Church, there are no shortage of people like me. What can you possibly do? Judge me? You are just a little Variant, who do you think you are!" "Indeed, I am just one person, it would be difficult to achieve anything alone." "But its not just me." Luo Xi thought of the other players who had entered this world. Among them were some who were chaotic evil and liked to cause trouble, but many others were righteous and good. Perhaps under the influence of the Dreamland Travelers, this world might change a bit, right? "What did Andrew do?" Luo Xi asked. Delkus looked at the Divine Tree, answering, "He took half of my souls essence, along with a worm, and used some method to create that golden worm. Originally, it was only the size of an arm, but after devouring dozens of people, it grew quickly. Then Andrew seemed to realize that my soul wasnt enough, so he added his own, causing that Snowworm to grow so huge." Chapter 276 - 223: The First Kiss in a Dream_1 Chapter 276: Chapter 223: The First Kiss in a Dream_1Luo Xi held Weiers hand and started to stroll around this Belgri Town that looked completely different from the one he had seen before. In this town, the Grace Ring Street was gone; there were only townsfolk who, despite being busy at work, had smiles of happiness on their faces. Mutant patients were doing various strenuous jobs around the town while the pure-blood ordinary people helped them, showing no signs of discrimination. Lord Andrew, surrounded by many people, was consoling the townsfolk on the streets, looking like he deeply cared for his citizens. A dream world where mutant patients and pure-blood humans coexisted so peacefully. Could it only exist in this dream-within-a-dream that had erased all negative emotions? Luo Xi turned to look at the cat-eared girl next to him, who was about as tall as his shoulder, and asked, "Why do you want to live here?" Was it Weiers ideal and wish to find a place to settle down for a long time? However, in the real world, as cruel and cold as it was, such a place was doomed to not exist. Unless... they created it themselves. Weiers smooth snowy hair fell gently, and as she tilted her head slightly, she smiled and said, "Why? Dont you know?" Luo Xi was taken aback. I know jack shit. Come to think of it, what negative emotion has Cat Cat lost? Could it be tsundere? Sar?h the n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Does that count as a negative emotion? Weier pinched his hand and said, "Luo Xi, look down at me." He did as she asked, squatting down a bit. In the blink of an eye, as if still muddle-headed from sleep, a warm sensation came from his face, accompanied by the heat of breath. Just as he had thought. After all, he had already encountered two girls... Then, the wet sensation on his lips came again, and by the time Luo Xi realized what was happening, the pretty face that was so close had already moved away, blushing a deep red. [Note: You damn flirtatious Traveler, thinking about other girls while doing something like that, you should be chopped by the Little Wolf Girl! (The blade is ready~)] Damn Text, you peeping dog, if youre so capable, then transform into a person and show yourself! [Note: No way ()! If I turned into a little Lolita, Id definitely be caught by that garbage Traveler, then licked and touched all over, and finally played with, violated, and then cast aside!] Fxxk! Stop embellishing your own story! After a couple of snide remarks, the Damn Text disappeared again. But Luo Xi never expected that his first kiss would be taken away by Cat Cat in a false dream. Well, it wasnt too bad. "Mr. Luo Xi and Miss Weier, hello!" Hearing the voice, Luo Xi looked back and saw Kyro, the young man with horse-like ears, carrying bags of goods on his back, his forehead sweaty but his face beaming with joy as he walked towards them. "Have you decided to stay? This place is just too good!" Kyro said with a smile, "Here you can earn your agreed rewards through labor, have enough to eat every day, and I can ensure that my family and little sister live a secure life. Where else can you find a town like this?" Even without a special perspective, Luo Xi could see the sunshine radiating from Kyros body. It was like the vitality of sun-seeking flowers. Luo Xi patted his shoulder and smiled slightly, "Yeah, if this were real, it would be wonderful." "Of course, its real, what a strange thing to say, Mr. Luo Xi. I need to keep delivering goods now." Kyro shook his head laughingly, picked up his load, and continued on his way. Luo Xi watched his departing figure, his smile somewhat forced. Even such a humble dream was difficult to achieve in the real world. Weier, nonchalant, bent down and picked up a wildflower from the roadside, placing it in Luo Xis hand. Her face, still flushed, smiled and said: "This place is really nice, so why not stay?" Luo Xi could feel the warmth from the girls hand. He asked, "Is that the reason?" Weier thought for a moment and replied, "Its just a small part, but it still depends on you." "What if I dont stay?" "Well... then well leave together, since I have to stick with you anyway." The Cat Cats cat ears perked up, and she frowned at him. Her tail reached around from behind and wrapped tightly around Luo Xis arm. "What, youre thinking of leaving me behind by myself? That wont do; Id get angry. Or are you saying you dont like me anymore?" Luo Xi: "...." So tsundere was really treated as a negative emotion and eliminated? While this kind of Cat Cat was also nice, it felt like something was missing. He said with a smile, "Precisely because I like you, we cant stay in a place like this." "What?" Weier, puzzled, asked, "What do you mean by that?" Luo Xi touched the girls cat ears, smiling, "No matter how good this place is, its only a beautiful dream, right? Arent there more important things you need to do? Like your sister? Shes still waiting for you." As Luo Xi said this, the girl in front of him stood still as if struck by lightning, murmuring to herself, "Sister, what sister? Do I have a sister?" Little did they know, outside there was a wolf-eared Lolita grinding her teeth with anger from previously seeing Weier sneak a kiss on Luo Xi. When she heard these words, she burst into tears on the spot. Weier was mean, she wouldnt pay attention to her anymore! Not only had she indulged in a lovey-dovey dream with Brother Luo Xi but she had also completely forgotten about her. Look how thoughtful Brother Luo Xi was, even at this time he remembered her! - "Thinking about you at a time like this, doesnt it just highlight what a scumbag of a perverted big brother you are?" Aina stopped sobbing and said, "Its actually not a problem that the object of affection is Sister Weier. After all, Aina is still young. By the time Aina grows up, who knows, brother might have been whisked away by some other woman. At least sister can help Aina keep an eye on brother." The little wolf girl stared at the face of the young man in the picture, her usually bright eyes dull. "But why does Aina still feel like she wants to take a knife and chop brother into pieces?" Luo Xi suddenly shivered. Its not cold, weird. Weier still maintained a stunned state. She talked to herself, her eyes unfocused, "Its like I have a sister... But why cant I remember?" "I shouldnt forget, yes, I cant forget." Weiers form was dissolving away. [Note: Garbage Traveler, shes heading to the gathering of negative emotions, arent you going to follow?] Luo Xi moved swiftly and grabbed her. Then, the bright sky suddenly dimmed. Luo Xi found himself in a different place. From Belgri Town, he had come to a room. From the arrangement of the room, this was the bedroom of Weier and Ainas house on Grey Stone Street in Winter City, with darkness outside the window, pitch black. On the bed was Weier, who looked not too much smaller than he remembered, and a significantly smaller Aina. At this moment, Weier was holding the sobbing Aina, gently comforting her, "Before mom comes back, sister will always be with you, sister will definitely not leave without telling you." The scene changed abruptly before Luo Xis eyes. After midnight, the girl silently cried alone in the living room, wiping tears from the corner of her eyes with her fingers. On Grey Stone Street, Weiers sad expression after being turned away when trying to buy items from the junk shop owner. One night, someone tried to break into their home and was burnt to death by a scroll. Weier covered Ainas eyes and watched the corpse in fear. There was also the dangerous work of doing investigative tasks for the Snake and Rat Meeting to earn extra money... In the three years after losing their mother, the first year was the hardest. Luo Xi was silent. Aina had Weier for comfort. But what about herself? Luo Xi took a step forward. In the living room, Luo Xi quietly sat down next to her. The girl wiping her tears sensed someone nearby and looked at him blankly. Normally she would panic, but strangely, upon seeing him, her heart gradually began to settle. "Who are you?" Luo Xi smiled and reached out to touch her head. Even though the Cat Cat was small at this time, her hair still carried a pleasant scent. Compared to three years later, her presence at this moment was so weak. But thats normal. People are always like this, when encountering unsettling things, they try to erase their own presence. Slap!- Weier slapped Luo Xis hand away and bristled, "Who on earth are you?" Luo Xi chuckled lightly, "Lets go. Neither there nor here is where you should stay, indulging in either false beautiful dreams or past sorrows. Thats not like you, right, my Cat Cat?" As his words fell, the young cat-eared girl was stunned. Then, the figure of Weier completely vanished. The scene shattered. A void appeared before him. Luo Xi looked at the countless grey orbs floating in the void. Are these the negative emotions of the people of Belgri Town? ["Fuck off! You trash are just going to infect us too!"] ["All Variants should die!"] ["Isnt there anyone to save us?! Dont we deserve to live?"] ["Im so full of hate!"] In a daze, all the grey orbs surged towards him. [Ding! Your sadness/murderous intent/rage/envy/...+????] A deep black orb of light coalesced in his hand. The next moment, Luo Xi returned to the warm and sunny little town. . Someone wearing a lifting overcoat, with a dust-covered stride, approached. It was a blond man wearing a monocle with an elegant demeanor and a handsome face. The man stood outside an enclosure for cows and sheep, taking in the scenery, and said with satisfaction, "I never thought the seed I left behind during my first immature visit here would grow. Not bad, not bad at all." A voice rang out behind him, "Occasionally savoring a beautiful dream is indeed nice, but to take someone elses ideals and visions for granted, arent you going a bit too far?" The man whirled around, astonished, to see the approaching young man and exclaimed: "How did you maintain your original consciousness? Thats impossible." Chapter 277 - 224 Can Your Leader Turn Into a Lolita? No? Well, Mine Can! _1 Chapter 277: Chapter 224 Can Your Leader Turn Into a Lolita? No? Well, Mine Can! _1Luo Xi smiled and said, "Why not?" The man pushed up his monocle, steadying it, and said: "This is a consciousness layer hidden deep within the collective, consisting of stripped-away negative emotions, forming those peoples beautiful fantasies. If you havent been stripped of negative emotions, how did you come here?" Luo Xi thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps, Im just special?" "Special? I see." The man seemed to have an epiphany and said, "You must be the one chosen by the will of the Dream world that the Master spoke of, right?" Luo Xi raised an eyebrow, neither confirming nor denying, and countered: "And you? Who are you?" "I? Im merely an Agent carrying out the Masters will in the mundane world." "The Master?" From this mans description, it was clear that the great will was not the Master he spoke of, and Damn Text was even less likely. What could it be? "My Master, oh, He is omnipotent." The man pushed his monocle again, a faint light flickering on it as he smiled and said, "Theres only one protagonist in this era, so Id advise you to leave. The conclusion of the Dream world will ultimately lead to its demise. Becoming a tool for the will of the world isnt meaningful; go back to our world and live a down-to-earth life." Luo Xi walked over and leaned against the wooden railing, saying, "I really dislike arrogant guys like you." "Suit yourself." The man laughed and said, "How could I, the sun in the sky, care about the opinion of an ant on the ground?" [Note: You worthless Traveler, your aggressiveness is so weak, (**)? smack him! If you dont attack him, well start attacking you!] Well, there it is, egging me on. "Only one protagonist in this era?" Luo Xi feigned surprise and said, "Dont tell me you think of yourself as the protagonist in a novel?" "If this world were really a novel." The man smiled and said, "Then I would undoubtedly be the protagonist of this novel. Thats an indisputable fact." Luo Xi: "?" [Note: ?] Even Damn Text issued a question mark, which meant it wasnt its issue; it thought the other person had a problem. Such a self-centered person... Luo Xi expressed that this was a rarity in his life. [Note: You worthless Traveler, tell him youre the protagonist of the noveld(?৥?)?, hes at best a villain character! And not even the cute or charming kind!] Luo Xi: "..." If I really engaged in a childs quarrel to refute him, Id likely only make him laugh. It would further reinforce his belief that hes the chosen one. And why is Damn Text so worked up? Does it know who this mans Master is? Luo Xi deliberately let out a long sigh. This prompted the man to look over with a puzzled expression, asking, "What are you sighing about?" "According to my experience from reading over a hundred thousand web novels." Luo Xi pointed at him, then at himself, and said with a mocking tone, "People like you who love to show off, constantly chanting Master, Master, Master, at most are just tragic bosses in novels who are destined to die. Someone like me is the chosen protagonist of the novel." The man wasnt angry and calmly said, "Oh? If youre the protagonist, then what makes you special? What promises has the will of the Dream world made to you?" [Note: You worthless Traveler, tell him you can have a harem of cute Little Lolitas, something ordinary people cant achieve!] Climb! With your urging, Id like to pull you out first and give you a spanking! Luo Xi responded with a smile: "Guess?" "No need to guess, its merely something like gaining the power to stand at the pinnacle of this world." The man indifferently said, "That kind of thing doesnt impress me. The will of the Dream world is just using you as a pawn. If you insist on opposing me under its guidance, then I can only treat you as a stepping stone." Luo Xi took a deep breath, and in the mans puzzled gaze, he opened his mouth: "Who the hell do you think you are, damn it? Even I dont think Im a protagonist, and Im handsome! Strutting around with a monocle, do you know the last guy who wore one got counter-killed by the protagonist? Screaming Master like a brain-damaged fool, serving that unknown thing like a dog. Does your curry nation know youre so heaven-defying? I advise you to find a truck to hit yourself dead, its your only chance to reincarnate as the protagonist!" [Note: You worthless Traveler, 666!] "You damn!" The mans forehead immediately bulged with visible veins, so angry that his monocle shook as if it were about to fall. He scoffed and said, "Heh, pointless. I shouldnt have conversed with you." Luo Xi sneered, "Is it because youve lost to me? Thats all the verbal firepower youve got, protagonist?" Dealing with such an extremely self-centered person, indeed only pure insults could bring a sense of satisfaction. Anything else felt as powerless as a punch landing on cotton. "I cant be bothered to argue with you." The man walked away from the railing, looking around, and said, "With your level of insight, you cant possibly understand how great and supreme the Master I follow is. To Him, this world is just a restaurant He occasionally passes by. He doesnt even need to pay to eatunderstand?" Luo Xi shrugged and said, "Arent you still a dog? I thought you, the self-proclaimed exceptional protagonist, could climb on the head of this Master crap and take a dump, even turn Him into a cute Little Lolita." The man: "?" What is this about turning into a Little Lolita? What is this guy talking about? Luo Xi feigned astonishment and said, "Oh? Cant you do it? It seems mine can." [Note: ?] "Ive no interest in your nonsense." The man turned back to look at Luo Xi, pushing his monocle again, as a flash of dark light came and went. In an instant, in this illusory town that held only ideals and dreams, where people were still toiling away, yearning for a better life, small golden sparks began to seep out from their bodies, swarming towards him. The mans face revealed an intoxicated look. "The power of ideals and desires, its so wonderful..." His words of praise were cut off abruptly. He looked at the young man across from him in astonishment. "Impossible!" This man, who had been rude to him, seemingly chosen by the will of the Dream world as well, was also absorbing those tiny golden light spots. His absorbing speed was not much less than his own. No, it was even getting faster! Caught off guard by the sudden change, Luo Xi was nearly out of breath, but he still mustered a smile and said: "Impossible, you say that too much. Are you really the protagonist?" Crack! The man pulled out a golden short blade from his chest, and after a brief shriek, he appeared in front of Luo Xi, thrusting it violently towards him. However, he stabbed at air. Luo Xis body was gradually fading away. The man paused, then burst into laughter and said, "I told you so, how could a mere mortal absorb the power of all living beings desires? Youre just a host... Huh?" His handsome face suddenly felt a burst of pain as a massive force deformed his facial features, sending his body flying backward, and then a hand grabbed his arm. Luo Xi gasped for air and chuckled, "Got you." A pitch-black sphere, brought from the sea of negative emotions, appeared from Luo Xis body. In the disbelieving eyes of the other, Luo Xi smiled and said to him, "Besides grand ideals, why dont you also feel their sadness and pain!" Moments later, an endless brilliance erupted. The illusory beautiful dream town collapsed in its entirety. ... In a distant land. A black altar with a several-meters-tall statue being worshipped upon it. At the edge of the altar, a man with a flushed face suddenly spat out a mouthful of crimson blood. He held his chest and knelt before the central statue on the altar, deeply repenting, "Lord, I have failed. The will of the Dream World has outsmarted me." [He is preoccupied with his own troubles, maintaining the operation of the world is his limit, he cannot choose an Agent] "Hes not?" The man was utterly astonished, "Then who on earth is he?" [Causality erased, true identity unknown, conjecture, an entity of my equal, or, the will of your world] "Lord, didnt you say that our world no longer has a worldly will?" The man received no further response. He tried his best to recall the appearance of that person. But the already vague memory quickly faded away completely, and even the events that had happened before became a mist. Only the disdainful smile he had when mocking himself remained. ... Luo Xi opened his eyes. [Ding! Your synchronization time has resumed flow] [Remaining synchronization time: 10 minutes 33 seconds] Am I back? A cold night breeze blew across his face; the iron ball created by Spark rolled to his feet. In front of him, the Belgri Divine Tree radiated a warm glow, seemingly conveying goodwill to him. The Gold Snowworm on the Divine Tree was nowhere to be seen. [Note: garbage Traveler, I have some bad news for you, a day has passed since last night] "Hm?" Luo Xi then realized. Does this mean I cant retreat to yesterday anymore? His expression darkened. [Note: Relax, both your Little Lolitas are safe and sound~] Thats good... wait a second, what about the townspeople here? "Ouch!" "What happened to us?" Following the voices, Luo Xi looked over and found that behind the Divine Tree, people were lying everywhere, with some already waking up. Perhaps some people died, but a large number still survived. "Who was that man?" [Note: s Agent] Luo Xi: "..." S~ea??h the Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Oh. So, am I your Agent? [Note: Probably? garbage Traveler, do you still wish to continue?] Of course. So when will Damn Text come out so I can pet it a couple of times? [Note: In your dreams! ()?!] Luo Xi couldnt help but maliciously think that the creature behind Damn Text still played coy and spoiled; wouldnt it be pretty to see it cry if it could be pulled out and punched? Also, wouldnt that man seek revenge in reality after knowing his own identity? [Note: How dare you!] Tsk. Luo Xi lifted his gaze to the empty night sky, not knowing when the evening clouds had dispersed, revealing a sky filled with stars. In the Dream World, it seemed like the first time he saw a real starry sky, right? "I wont admit it! I will never admit it!" A sharp voice howled nearby. A man with completely shredded clothing was crawling around the ground among the people like a madman, collecting fragments of the shattered Gold Snowworm. "Just a bit more, and my ideals would have been realized!" Such a heart-wrenching scream, if heard by those uninformed, would probably bring tears to their eyes, right? Then, a foot heavily stepped on his head. Luo Xi bent down slightly, his calm eyes seemingly looking down at him together with the starry sky. "The so-called ideals are not an excuse for you to trample over peoples lives at your feet." "Old man, its time for you to wake up." Chapter 278 - 225: Becoming a Lord Starting from the Hatchet of the Wolf-Eared Lolita!_1 Chapter 278: Chapter 225: Becoming a Lord Starting from the Hatchet of the Wolf-Eared Lolita!_1"Awake? Yes, my son died at my hands, hahaha!" Andrew, looking downright mad, couldnt stop laughing even though Luo Xi was stepping on his head. Then, he finally burst into tears. All his past experiences came flooding back to him. Andrew suddenly realized. "I was deceived by that person from the very beginning." The snowworms, altered by alchemy, seemed to aid in the Divine Trees ascension, yet they were nothing but bait used by that person to fulfill his own objectives. That person laid out a tempting bait, and he arrogantly bit, not only that, but he also kept on nurturing the bait, ultimately brewing such bitter fruit. In those six months, he was like a man possessed, madly drawing people into the town, by deception or coercion, having them sign contracts, And the excessive fragments of souls led him gradually down the path of madness. "Hahaha" Andrew coughed hoarsely, his laughter weakening. "Wasnt that your child?" Hearing Luo Xis words, he suddenly lifted his head, looking forward. For some reason, Ryan, who should have been dead, lay there quietly. A spark of hope was reignited in Andrews nearly death-like gaze. The power that burst forth from his body, which was close to death due to the soul being devoured by the snowworm, allowed him to break free from Luo Xis foot and lunge forward. Then, his body disintegrated into countless points of light during his collapse, all of which flowed into the boys body. Seconds later, the points of light spilled out again and converged into a ball of white light on the boys body. Ryans pallid complexion began to flush with color. [Ding! Special quest: Necromancys Reencounter (Final) has been completed.] [Reward: Necromancys Memory (Please find a host for the memory within one minute)] Luo Xi was slightly startled. He walked over, grabbed the ball of light that was trying to escape, randomly picked a worm from nearby snowworm boxes, and stuffed the ball of light into it. He glanced at the text. [Snowworm Delkus] [Description: The memory of Delkus that resided within Ryans soul was purged by Andrew with his last strength, then placed into the snowworm by the Traveler, resulting in an alchemical creature that has a part of Delkuss memory.] [Lifespan: Three months (Its growth and evolution can be sped up by being fed blood)] S~ea??h the novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Ding! Traveler, you have obtained the title: Apprentice of Biological Alchemy.] [Apprentice of Biological Alchemy: A title a Traveler can obtain after creating an alchemical creature; equipping this title increases the success rate of biological alchemy by +1%.] Luo Xi poked the plump, snow-white, and chubby worm. Delkus probably had used some form of self-protection skill by mistake, which saved Ryans life, and then Andrew purged the memory. In the end, it was all for naught. Luo Xi put the snowworm into his pocket. He stared at the Belgri Divine Tree. [Ding! Contract modification progress has been achieved.] [[Origin Moonflow] has altered the ownership of the Belgri Divine Tree.] [Ding! Traveler, you have become the controller of the Belgri Divine Tree.] [Ding! Divine Tree Controllers rights template has been loaded.] As the text kept on appearing, Luo Xi saw a dense array of words materialize before his eyes. In the end, a new module formed uniformly on the interface. Clicking into it, there was only one line of text[Belgri Divine Tree]. The giant tree that towered a hundred meters seemed to be communicating with him, gently swaying its branches; Luo Xi felt an overwhelming strength surge through him, a level of power that was incomparable even to when he used the overdrive mode of Spark. [Belgri Divine Tree] [Root Vein Source: Eternal Tree Moonflow (Hidden), externally appears as Eternal Tree Noah] [Tier: Tier Four Intermediate Divine Tree] [Power of Divine Tree: 189455 (500000)] [Path of Bestowal: Skill Practitioner/Knight (Tier ZeroThree)] [First-time controller of Divine Tree, matching pathway compatibility...] [Matching complete, controllers pathway compatibility is 0.5%, it is recommended to maintain the current Transcendence System, no change necessary.] [Controllers Rights] [Right One: BlessingCan create a Divine Tree domain with a maximum radius of 2.5 kilometers; the smaller the domain range, the stronger the blessing, with a normal daily consumption of up to 2000 points of Divine Tree power.] [Right Two: ShiftWithin the Divine Tree domain, the controller can transport and move items without restriction, each use consuming 100 points of Divine Tree power.] [Right Three: LordWithin the Divine Tree domain, through spiritual exploration, the controller can know anything happening anywhere, and directly draw upon the Divine Trees power, disregarding the controllers own tier, and directly upgrade to a Tier Four Intermediate level (consumption of Divine Tree power varies depending on use).] [Right Four: QuiescenceOnce activated, Transcendents above Tier Three, but below Tier Four Intermediate entering the town, will be suppressed by a whole tier, and Transcendents above Tier Four Intermediate will be somewhat affected (consumes 1000 points of Divine Tree power daily).] [Right Five: ContractBelgri Divine Trees unique right, allows the forming of exclusive contracts, and upon others signing the contract, a portion of their soul fragments will be collected by the Divine Tree (the consumption of the Power of Divine Tree varies with the signers strength) ] [Right Six: Divine AuthorityReleases the power of the Divine Tree, clearing the ground within a certain range (maximum consumption of 100,000 points at a time)] [Right Seven: LegacyUpon the complete death of the controller, the rights of the Divine Tree will automatically transfer to the descendants with the controllers bloodline, and if there are none, the rights will temporarily be reclaimed by the Eternal Divine Tree.] [Right Eight (Additional): Within the range of the Divine Trees domain, the controller has three hours each day to synchronize and unsynchronize at will.] [All rights are fully effective only when the controller is within the domain of the Divine Tree, and the controller will be unable to use the rights if they are more than five kilometers away from the center of the Divine Tree.] Luo Xi: "..." He couldnt help but feel a sense of realization. Has this become my town now? It feels like a dream. Though in a way, it is a dream. [Note: Yes, right! From today onwards, this place is called Luo Xis Beast Eared Lolita Town! The first step to do is to expel all the males, keeping only the cute beast eared girls!] Thatd send shivers down the spines of all men! Luo Xi couldnt be bothered to argue with that damn text; he felt the Power of Divine Tree flowing within him and took a step forward. The Belgri Divine Tree swayed gently, and a strand of golden light floated beneath his foot. [Ding! You have used Teleportation once, consuming 100 points of the Power of Divine Tree.] Space changed in an instant. Two seconds later, he arrived at the square. The cradle was still there. However, when Luo Xi approached, Weier and Aina were nowhere to be seen. Aina wasnt in the cradle, and Weier wasnt by the side. He couldnt help feeling a bit panicked. Where have the two sisters gone? [Note: Garbage Traveler, are you an idiot? Youre now a Lord, a right holder!] Indeed. Luo Xi closed his eyes. Lords rights. In a flash, the layout of the entire town and all its inhabitants, and the events happening there appeared in his mind. His expression suddenly became a bit strange. Then he stepped forward again. ... Weier lay quietly asleep on the bed. She had been sleeping ever since she and the other townsfolk had laid down the previous night. Creak In the backyard of a house with a lit lamp, Aina was sharpening a kitchen knife. After the voice told Aina she could go, she had brought Weier back home. But a whole day had passed, and the sister hadnt woken up, which made her a bit anxious. Aina wanted to go look for Luo Xi in town, who had disappeared, but the voice told her there was no need, saying he was already on his way back. She really wanted to know, who was that voice? Little sister, would you like to sharpen a knife? "Why sharpen a knife?" You can use it to cook~ "Oh..." Aina thought about it, deciding with Brother Luo Xi coming back and Sister Weier not yet awake, she might as well try cooking a meal. That way, Brother Luo Xi and Sister Weier will certainly praise Aina~??? "Brother Luo Xi ignores Aina, stealthily getting all lovey-dovey with sister, its infuriating." Muttering to herself, Aina quickened the pace of her knife sharpening. At that moment, a familiar scent and voice appeared behind the little wolf girl. "Aina, what are you... doing?" [Ding! Your horror point +20] Ainas body shuddered, and as she slowly turned around, the knife in her hand glinted with a sharp silver light, and the tea gold color in her eyes faded: "Brother Luo Xi, youve finally deigned to come back, eh? Do you know it has been a day and a night? Besides being with sister, have you been fooling around with some other woman?" Luo Xi: "()!" [Note: "Becoming a Lord starts with being chased by a wolf-eared Lolita with a cleaver!"] Chapter 280 - 227 Cat Cat Becomes Reality, Love Rival Arrives, Chapter 280: Chapter 227 Cat Cat Becomes Reality, Love Rival Arrives, "Dawn" Second Test! (6K Double)"_1Lord Manor. Luo Xi stepped out from a golden circle of light. This was a long corridor with a profound sense of history, various sculptures and portraits solemnly placed on both sides of the hallway, strangers to this place would only marvel at the wealth of its owner. The Volke family had run this place for a hundred years, but from this night forth, it would be his. An elderly voice sounded, "Good evening, sir." S~ea??h the N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Luo Xi calmly turned his head to look. He had already known someone was waiting here; this was why he had come. It was a silver-haired middle-aged man dressed in black and white, with a resolute and mature face, holding a long walking stick in his hand. [Ding! Talent: Mutual Repulsion is activated, Xxs favorability towards you -50] "I am the manors butler, Ulysses." The butler paused slightly, then respectfully asked, "Are you the new Lord of Belgri Town?" Luo Xi inquired curiously, "How did you know that?" Most people in this town probably still didnt know their Lord had suddenly been replaced. Just like the vast majority living a life of drifting with the tide, being alive for one more day is all that matters, even if one nearly died yesterday, being alive today is considered a great fortune. Ulysses replied, "Because the young master did not receive the strength a Lord should have, and the way you appeared just now was the same as the old Lord." "I see." Luo Xi snapped his fingers softly. He and the butler then moved to a bedroom in a moments time. Ryan lay on the bed, seemingly still in a deep sleep. Ulyssess expression changed, then he bowed his head and said, "Lord, this child is actually quite good. He is studious, sunny, and positive. Could you spare him? I can make him submit to you... " [Note: A cute little boy? Not interested, the Traveler saysnow, if it were a Little Lolita, perhaps~] Shut up. "I have no interest in laying a hand on such a small child," said Luo Xi. "Thank you!" Ulysses immediately attempted to kneel and kowtow to Luo Xi. A force lifted him up. Luo Xi asked, "Arent you wondering how I obtained the power of the Divine Tree?" "I do have my suspicions, but this is quite good too; the young master is immature. If he became the Lord, he might follow the same path as Lord Andrew." Ulysses shook his head and said, "In fact, over the past six months, I have noticed that Lord Andrew had slowly gone mad, but I was unable to stop him. I could only watch as he slid further into an abyss from which there was no return. Perhaps it was... self-inflicted." Sorrow flickered through the middle-aged mans murky eyes. After a while, he asked, "What are your plans for me and the child Ryan, as well as the fifty-eight servants of the manor? Oh yes, Lord Andrew also had ten wives. How do you plan to deal with them?" [Note: Too bad the Traveler is not a fan of Cao Zei, otherwise those ten wives would have all been his~] Scram! "Well discuss this later." Luo Xi looked at him and said, "Right now, I urgently need some people who can help me manage the town. The business model here and all kinds of systems are too deformed; we cant continue like this. Go now and bring the original town management over." The butler solemnly replied, "Lord, there is no management in Belgri Town. Since the incident six months ago, many capable individuals have left, and Lord Andrew was the sole ruler." "A dictatorship?" Luo Xi stroked his chin, appraising the butler, then said, "Then its up to you. During the day today, handle the situation in the town for me, and take this child with you. No matter how luxurious his past life, from now on he is no different from anyone else here." "Also, the servants who deal with manor affairs can stay. As for Andrews wives, disperse them. Let them go to the town and find a class to join... work to do." The old butler was astonished, "Me?" "Is that a problem?" Luo Xi frowned. "No! Of course not!" The old butler immediately kneeled on one knee excitedly and said, "Ulysses Moser, formerly Sir Andrews Knight of the Contract, is willing to offer my loyalty to you, Lord." [Ding! Ulysses has offered his loyalty to you] [Do you accept?] [Detected that this pathway is bestowed by the Belgri Divine Tree, the controller of the Divine Tree is auto-accepting...] [Ding! Traveler, you have gained a Knight of the Contract. Until your death, he is absolutely unable to betray you] A character template unfolded in the form of text before Luo Xi. [Ulysses] [Race: Human Clan] [Loyalty: 90 (Knight of the Contract)] [Tier: Third-tier Mid-ranking] [Sublimation Path: Knight of the Contract (from Belgri Divine Tree)] [Strength: 136] [Physique: 145] [Intelligence: 68] [Agility: 188] [Held Skills: Contract, Longspear Throw, Heavy Strike, God-given Spear, Knights Charge, Cavalry Skill...] [Description: Originally Andrew Volkes Knight of the Contract. After the Lords death, he was supposed to automatically serve the next Lord, but he was uneasy about a person he had never seen. After conversing with you, he is willing to devote the rest of his life to you] Seeing this, Luo Xi mused aloud, "Ulysses, listen to what I say, tomorrow gather the workforce to do these things." "First, abolish all the time coin systems and other policies set previously by Andrew, switch back to a money transaction model, and restore the original mode of production and life starting tomorrow." Chapter 281 - 227 Cat Cat Becomes Reality, Love Rival Arrives, Chapter 281: Chapter 227 Cat Cat Becomes Reality, Love Rival Arrives, "Dawn" Second Test! (6K Double)_2"Second, issue a decree stating that Mutant Patients and ordinary pure-blooded humans have the same status; no one is allowed to discriminate against others." "Third, stop breeding Snowworms, and recall all Snowworm seedlings to the manor here." "Fourth, find capable managers in the town to replan Belgri Town." "Ill think of the rest later. Did you hear?" "Yes!" The location of the Hollow Flower. Unlike its original grayish-white fossil appearance, it had become a gaping mouth with teeth. As Luo Xi approached, the teeth would retract to either side, leaving a deep passage that one could enter through. Luo Xis mouth twitched as he said, "Are you sure we can go in? Damn text, you wouldnt harm me, right? Where does it lead to?" [Note: We arent sure where it leads either. The Hollow Flower is two plants in one, and their number is unknown. They are randomly distributed across the continents of the worldmaybe theres even a chance to jump to other continents. Youll never know unless you try~] So its like opening a blind box, huh? Luo Xi snapped his fingers. Power of Divine Tree flowed, and wooden barriers rose from the ground to enclose this Hollow Flower. Guess itll have to wait until another time. Now, he needed to take a trip back to reality. He had spent over a day in the Dream world, they might be worried that something had happened to him outside. ... Ai Xue lay beside Luo Xis bed, staring at the young man on the bed. She didnt feel sleepy, perhaps because of her innate talents, the later it got into the night, the more energetic she became, but would feel drowsy during the day. Ai Xue touched Luo Xis hand and whispered softly, "Senior, why arent you waking up ..." Suddenly, Luo Xis hand moved, and he opened his eyes. Ai Xue immediately said with surprise, "Senior!" Luo Xi sat up and glanced at Ai Xue, who was beside the bed. Had this junior been waiting here for him this whole time? Ai Xue asked anxiously, "Senior, did something happen to you in the game?" "No." Luo Xi touched her head and smiled, "See, I am back, arent I? Did I miss anything today?" "Nothing, ooh" The girls petite body suddenly threw itself into Luo Xis arms, her voice carrying a hint of a sob as she said: "Senior, you scared me so much..." Luo Xi lowered his eyes slightly and chuckled: "Thank you for being so concerned about me." In fact, the feeling of someone in reality caring so much about him was quite nice. "Senior" Ai Xues eyes shimmered, then she suddenly raised her head and moved in closer. Luo Xis pupils sharply contracted. The sensation that Cat Cat had given him in that dream within a dream had felt like just a moment ago, and Ai Xues sudden move left him completely stunned. After who knows how long, the nearly breathless girl let out a deep sigh, her soft, moist lips seemed irresistible. Ai Xue, her face flushed, moved back, her lips still glistening slightly with moisture. Luo Xi came back to his senses and couldnt help feeling contemplative. If things kept going like this, it seemed he really did have the talent of being taken down. The girl had her head down, not daring to look into Luo Xis eyes. [Note: ClickWeve recorded the scene of you laying a hand on the cute Little Lolita, traveler. If you ever run away, well spread this all over the world~] You wouldnt dare, Damn Text! Ai Xues lips parted slightly, she wanted to say something, but in the end, she left his room with a red face and hurried back to her own bedroom, where she threw herself onto the soft bed. "Why didnt I dare to be more bold..." Ai Xue grabbed the blanket in frustration, cursing her own timidity. Over the course of the day and night, she had already imagined several ways to take advantage of the situation when her senior woke up. At the crucial moment, she chickened out, only daring to kiss him. Ai Xue rolled over, looked at the ceiling, and placed her finger on her lips, her purple eyes gleamed with a touch of pride. But this was a victory for this stage, wasnt it? At least this time her senior hadnt rejected her~ After Ai Xue left, Luo Xi sat on his bed in a daze for a while before remembering to check the time. It was October 11th, 4:10 in the morning. Luo Xi got out of bed, went to the balcony, and looked out at the scenery outside. In the profound darkness of the night, numerous autumn cicadas chirped, and yellow-white streetlights were spaced at intervals. Their light and shadows looked like nightmares in the night. At this time, when everyone was asleep, the streets were empty except for patrolling watchmen. Luo Xi leaned against the railing, feeling the chilly breeze, and checked the messages that had accumulated over the day on his phone. His social circle was very limited; most of the messages were from a few roommates at school, the class leader, and other class officers. However, Luo Xi told them he had found a job again and that he would probably be coming to school less often. Well, he had got a permanent advisory position. Although he didnt have much to do, it still counted as a job. Additionally, Master Jiujian had left him several messages, telling him that he had been away on a business trip for the past few days, temporarily unable to teach him swordsmanship, and to be careful on his own. sea??h th n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Thump thump! The door to his room was knocked on. Luo Xi went to open the door and saw Ai Xues face, still slightly flushed. The girl looked at him shyly. "Senior, you arent asleep, are you?" Luo Xi smiled, "Is there something else?" Recalling what had just occurred, Luo Xi wondered if this junior really did intend to have her way with him? Ai Xue paused for a moment, then raised her phone and said, "Senior, you probably dont know about this yet. I came to tell you." Chapter 282 - 227 Cat Cat Becomes Reality, Love Rival Arrives, Chapter 282: Chapter 227 Cat Cat Becomes Reality, Love Rival Arrives, "Dawn" Second Test! (6K Double)_3"Whats up?" "You seem to have become famous, senior." Ai Xue said. Luo Xi: "?" "This girl, shes the one from the Dream world you said you liked, right?" Ai Xue pursed her lips and took out her phone, playing a video for him. It was a short video, just twenty seconds long. The title[A player in Dream world xx a cute young beast-eared girl...] Luo Xi froze on the spot. Damn, thats him from the Dream world, isnt it? Why has it turned into a video here? Weier and Aina were also captured in it. Ainas face, which had become slightly red from being petted by him, was deliberately enlarged in the video, and the image was especially clear. Ai Xue sneaked a glance at Luo Xi and whispered, "It seems theres a player from Ri Island, who has a special talent for filming in the Dream world. He secretly filmed you guys and then put it online. Now its spread everywhere. I saw this video in a WeChat group for the cafeteria in our local Traveler zone." [Ding! Your title: The Black Lolita Control Reaper has been acknowledged by thirty thousand people] [Added special effect: After wearing this title, any Dreamland Travelers who see you will recognize this title even if they dont know you, and will feel shocked for 10 seconds (Shock Effect: Mind wanders for 10 seconds, can be negated or reduced by mental resistance.)] Damn it! What kind of bizarre title is this, not even a dog would want it! Nnd, which bastard secretly recorded and posted it! Luo Xi thought of the colonel Traveler from Ri Island a few days ago. It must be that guy, right! Heh heh, that guy must still be in Belgri Town. "Hehe" Luo Xi narrowed his eyes and suddenly let out a weird laugh. Ai Xue swallowed nervously. She thought senior like this was kind of scary. Ai Xue also remembered the previous incident and mustered up the courage to say, "Senior, Im still in a smaller form right now. I definitely wont lose to that Cat-eared Girl from the Dream world..." A hand with a burning warmth suddenly covered her mouth. Luo Xi shook his head and said, "I do indeed quite like cute types of girls, but that doesnt mean Im a perverted Lolita con!" "Junior, you have to believe me! Can you?!" Ai Xue blinked her beautiful big eyes and nodded again and again. Luo Xi released his hand and lamented, "Thats good, I dont know since when my reputation started getting smeared so terribly. Ai Xue, you must never believe the comments on the external networks, Ive always been a person with a normal sexual inclination!" Ai Xue clenched her fists and said earnestly, "I believe in senior!" "Thats good." Luo Xi nodded in satisfaction. Finally, he corrected Ai Xues perception of him. In her heart, Ai Xue thought that the senior must be too embarrassed to say it out loud. After all, aside from those truly thick-skinned, few loli-cons would admit theyre loli-cons because once discovered, the law would severely punish such people. Before, senior must have been suppressing his inner thoughts, but in the Dream world, feeling that there were no cops around, he started to let himself go, which was wrong! People should always have some bottom lines. The two beast-eared girls in the video were still so young; they definitely couldnt handle it, so Ill take responsibility... Hey? Didnt senior say that the Cat-eared Girl was already an adult? Ai Xue picked up her phone and watched the video a few more times, then pouted. Damn it, that Cat-eared Girl is actually legal! So what if she has cat ears and a tail, whats so great about that?! After Ai Xue left again, Luo Xi opened the video she had forwarded to him and watched it several times, growing angrier each time he watched it. He immediately used his rights as the Divine Tree controller to sync directly to the Dream world. S~ea??h the novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. His spirit hung on the Divine Tree as he searched through the entire town, and that Ri Island little punk instantly appeared on the regional circulatory network provided by the Divine Tree. Luo Xi sneered. Still here, huh? Then itll be easy to handle. Youll never think of getting out from now on. He naturally wouldnt appear again before Kobayashi Wild, or he might get exposed again, but just keeping this guy locked up in this town was something he could definitely do as a Lord now. From now on, let your character be a lifetime worker for my town. Feel the rage of someone with authority! Kobayashi Wild was still pondering the changes that had occurred in Belgri Town. He had seen the night when Lord Andrew went mad and the large-scale consumption of humans by the golden Snowworms deep in the night. He had even triggered a special mission, but then he was mysteriously forced to logout for a day and a night. When he logged in again, the text notified him that something terrible had happened here. What had happened? Kobayashi Wild looked around outside for a long time, asking many people, but could not find out. Ever since he posted that video, quite a few hunter groups in reality were after him, for the talent to be able to film in the Dream world is indeed rare. He had no choice but to seek refuge with the official Ri Island authorities. Due to the rarity of his talent, the authorities valued him highly, giving him many resources, even a pathway for Sublimation from First-tier to Zero-tier. But that lord had sealed the town, which made him feel uncomfortable. However, his contract was only for one month, and once the time was up, he wouldnt sign again even if it killed him. He must leave when the time comes. Kobayashi Wild had already envisioned his own path of venturing outside, encountering Otherworld beauties and partners, and ultimately reaching the pinnacle. Chapter 283 - 227 Cat Cat Becomes Reality, Love Rival Arrives, Chapter 283: Chapter 227 Cat Cat Becomes Reality, Love Rival Arrives, "Dawn" Second Test! (6K Double)_4Isnt this the usual trope for light novels? [Ding! Traveler, you have been marked by the Lord] [Ding! Traveler, you have been permanently restricted from leaving the city without the Lords permission] [Ding! Traveler, the Lord demands that you must help others for three hours every day without seeking any reward, otherwise, you will be thrown into the dungeon] Kobayashi Wild: "???" ... Xia country, Jing City. Jiu Jian walked out of the grand hall, somewhat exhausted. Xia country was in the process of methodically drafting various legislations for the Dreamland Travelers. In addition, the World Dreamland Traveler United CouncilWDTC, joined by 150 countries from around the globe, had been preliminarily established, and they, as one of the drivers, had secured enough say within it. The meetings these past few days were truly more exhausting than working non-stop through the night. However, it was a necessity; the second internal beta for "Dawn" was approaching, and they had many more matters to address, so it was crucial to plan for the upcoming changes and potential scenarios. This world was changing rapidly; if a real Tier Four Lord-level Transcendent were to appear in reality, their deterrence would be comparable to nuclear weapons, perhaps even greater. At this moment, a message appeared before his eyes. [Dawn 2.0 beta version is about to launch, 999999 spots will be issued. The server will be down for an update from 12 pm to 10 pm on October 11th, and will reopen promptly at 10 pm] [During the update, all game module functions will be suspended, including the Dreamland backpack, only personal text prompts will be preserved. Travelers, please take out any necessary items from your backpack in advance] [This update includes [Dream Trading Platform][Real Crisis Prompt in Synchronized State][Title Display Function][Epic World Quest Achievement Leaderboard]] "So its finally updating?" ... Luo Xi had a good sleep. When he woke up, it was already 10 a.m., and the cicadas outside the window were still tirelessly chirping. The prompt about the "Dawn" update also popped up. Luo Xi glanced at it and suddenly said, "Damn text, was this game your doing?" [Note: I dont know~ (I dont want Ai Cao either! ())] Heh. So it was probably your doing, or at least you were involved in some way. Ill have to beat up the damn text one day, I really want to see it cry out Ying ying ying. But, a ten-hour update duration... its so long. Ever since Luo Xi started playing this game, hes been spending a massive amount of time on it every day. [Traveler, you have been awakened by Cat Cat] [Weier wants to come over to your place] Luo Xi thought for a while. To be honest, after ditching Cat Cat for so many days, it really was time to let her come over. [Traveler, you took two Lolitas to the manor, found a vacant bedroom that hadnt been used before, and brought out the cradle] [Under Ainas envious gaze, Weier lay down in the cradle and quickly fell asleep] In the real worlds nest, just as last time when Aina came, a phantom egg appeared and began to solidify gradually. Luo Xi sat on the bed waiting for Weier to arrive, with clothes already prepared on the bed. Knock knock "Come in." Ai Xue pushed the door and entered, saying, "Senior? Dawn is updating, did you see it... um, whats this?" What met her eyes was an egg shimmering with gentle white light and pretty dresses on the bed. Were those skirts and underwear not the ones she bought with her senior before? Luo Xi pondered and said, "Well... inside here is that Cat-eared Girl from the dream world in the video." Sear?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Ai Xue: "Ah?!" Was she finally going to meet that real rival of hers? ... "Meow?" In the mountain forest, a snow-white, red-eyed little cat appeared mesmerized, looking around by the side of the stream. Where was she meow? Meow meow meow? ----- Combined two parts, no update tonight, awoo~ After this part of the plot is over, the fourth heroine will also come out, a little spoiler, its a cute little fox~ Chapter 284 - 228: You Can’t be Lewd, Aina, the Lost Cat Cat_1 Chapter 284: Chapter 228: You Cant be Lewd, Aina, the Lost Cat Cat_1Ai Xue immediately went back to her room and rummaged through various clothes after hearing that the Cat-eared Girl was about to come over. "Senior said he likes cute types of girls, so he should like Lolita style, right?" "Damn it, why does it have to be during the day? Doesnt this make me less competitive?" Luo Xi had no idea what Ai Xue was doing after she went back, but since the Cat Cat hadnt arrived yet, Luo Xi took another trip to the Dream world before the noon update time arrived. If he wanted to establish order in Belgri Town from scratch, he needed enough manpower. Truth be told, he had no clue about management, but now he was somewhat of a dictator in a certain sense and could use his strength to bring this place to the state he desired. A golden book with strange patterns drawn on it appeared in his hand. [True CanonBelgri] [Quality: Purple Color (Epic-)] [Category: Object of Authority Symbolization] [Attributes: Located at the essence of the Divine Tree, controlling the True Canon is to control the Divine Tree, it possesses a certain level of intelligence, obeys the commands of the controller of the Divine Tree, and can naturally absorb flawless Yuan Su around it, converting it into 3000 points of Power of Divine Tree every day] [Description: Originally belonged to [OriginNoah], now changed to [OriginMoonflow], its original inherent properties of light and judgment have been gradually transforming into years and passage] Luo Xi felt a sense of affection from the book and had a strange expression on his face. It seemed like the True Canon was treating him like a dad? [Note: Its like a mom!] I dont want a male mom! Luo Xi waved his hand to send the True Canon away. With the True Canon present, even if he logged out and went AFK, the True Canon could still fend off enemies. "Lord," Ulysses opened the door to the study and came in, saying, "Do you have any instructions?" "How are the townsfolk doing now?" Luo Xi asked. "Theyre all very happy to hear that theres a new Lord, whether they are Variants or pureblood commoners, and even the interactions between the two groups are going smoothly," Ulysses gave a bitter smile and said, "Perhaps, its because of the oppression of Lord Andrew for six months that made them recognize each others existence?" Luo Xi pondered thoughtfully. Indeed, the same was true even on the real side. History has shown that when people face oppression, sooner or later the lower and middle classes will unite. Its just that in this world where great power rests within oneself, its virtually impossible for those at the bottom to have the ability to resist high-ranking persons. Luo Xi said, "Ulysses, from now on, youll be my spokesperson in the town. I wont show my face to outsiders for a short time. Other than you, there are two other Third-tier Transcendents here. What do they think?" Although those people didnt know much, if the matters of the town were to be spread, it could attract some troubles. Ulysses replied, "They are willing to offer their strength to you, Lord. They are currently waiting outside the manor for your summons." Luo Xi said casually, "You just handle it." "Yes, and Lord, this is the list of all materials in the manors storeroom for your review," Ulysses handed over a large, thick piece of parchment. Luo Xi took it and looked it over from top to bottom. Inventory of materials. Essence Crystal: 5289 pounds Gold coins: 30388 pieces (including the value of copper and silver coins) Rare-tier weapons: Two One box of high-tier material ore Mithril one kilogram Below that were some materials for the advancement of Origin Beasts or Sublimated beings, along with some sublimation pathway formulas collected from unknown sources. Luo Xi lost interest after a few glances. It must be said that as the ruler here, Andrew, by ruthlessly exploiting the townsfolk, was indeed filthy rich. "Give me all the Essence Crystals, I will take ten thousand gold coins with me, and use the remaining gold coins for basic construction in the town. I hope that in one or two months, Belgri Town can be completely rejuvenated," Luo Xi commanded. Ulysses was stunned and said, "Basic construction? Spend that much gold on construction? Isnt that a waste?" "Money just sitting in the storeroom is meaningless if its not spent," Luo Xi explained, "Even if we repeal those ridiculous rules of Andrews, it will still be difficult for the townspeople to return to their normal lives. You can gather them to work, then give them a fixed wage and food every day. Its best to repair all the roads and buildings in the town to the same standard as Grace Ring Street." Ulysses said softly, "Lord, if everything is built to the standard of Grace Ring Street, it would cost an astronomical amount of gold. Many materials need to be purchased from outside, unless we continue to sell Snowworms." Luo Xi frowned and asked, "Sell Snowworms?" "Yes," Ulysses raised one hand and said, "An adult Snowworm can be sold for 10 gold coins, mainly to nearby large towns and Frost Cold City, 400 kilometers to the north. They can sell them for 20 to 30 gold coins, but Lord, you have always not sold many, generally using Snowworms to feed the Divine Tree." "We will not sell any more in the future," Luo Xi shook his head and stated, "That stuff is too addictive. Go destroy all the collected Snowworm larvae tomorrow, oh, and feed the Divine Tree with this Snowworm yourself. Apart from that, not a single one is left." Luo Xi tossed the Snowworm harboring Delkuss memories from his pocket to Ulysses. He was indeed tempted by the money that those Snowworms could fetch. But aside from the addictive nature of these otherworldly substances, the main issue was that the Snowworms were created by that mans alchemy. Who knew what kind of backhand that guy left behind? Luo Xi didnt want his home to harbor a bomb that could explode at any time. "Understood," Although Ulysses also felt the pinch of money, as long as he followed the new Lords decision, that was all he needed to do. After arranging the subsequent matters of Belgri Town, Luo Xi moved from his study to Weiers room. Aina was lying on the bed, flipping through a book, and her fluffy wolf tail was swishing back and forth, drawing attention. Luo Xi walked over and grabbed the soft big tail. The Little Wolf Girl let out a startled yelp. "Whos there!" The big tail instantly stiffened, and her wolf ears perked up, followed by the Wolf Eared Lolita leaping high into the air from the bed. When she saw that the visitor was Luo Xi, Aina finally relaxed. "Brother Luo Xi, can you not appear out of nowhere like that in the future!" Aina glared at Luo Xi with mock ferocity, "You can touch Ainas tail and ears whenever you want, but popping up like that is really scary, you know! Aina almost thought a bad guy came in!" [Ding! Ainas Anger Value +44] Luo Xi seemed to have never seen Aina show anger towards him before. He immediately bowed his head and said, "Sorry, I wont do it again next time." He still vividly remembered the image of Aina wielding a kitchen knife. "Hmph." The little wolf huffed, then came over from the bed, held up her tail to Luo Xi, patted his head and smiled, "Go ahead and touch it, Brother Luo Xi is really like a little child. What if Aina isnt by Brothers side in the future? Then you wont have a tail to touch, right?" Rua. Luo Xi obediently stroked it a couple of times. [Note: Garbage traveler, youre on your way to being trained by the Little Wolf Girl!] Shut up! Aina glanced at the crib beside the bed and asked, "Brother Luo Xi, has sister already gone over to your side?" sea??h th N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Luo Xi shook his head, "Not yet, its not that quick. Also, I wont be able to come over for ten hours after noon. Weier isnt here either, so I will ask the Divine Tree to provide extra protection here. Aina, be sure to take care of yourself too." "Yes!" Aina moved closer to Luo Xi, blinking her long eyelashes and said with a smile, "Brother Luo Xi, dont do anything too strange with sister when shes there! Otherwise, if sister comes back and boasts to Aina, Aina will get jealous! Aina would want it too!" Luo Xi: "..." He saw the Wolf Eared Lolitas cute little face turn red, her moist amber eyes were irresistible, exuding charm yet innocence, and the scent of flowers on her became even more intense. [Ding! Your Happiness Level +88] [Ding! Your Lewdness] [Note: You cant be lewd towards the Little Wolf Girl!] Hiss! Log out. No, he had to withdraw now. If this kept up, he might really be turned into a perverted loli-con by Aina. [Note: Arent you admitting that you werent before, trash traveler?] Isnt that obvious! After returning to reality, Luo Xi took a deep breath. However, when he saw the egg still flickering in the nest, he became somewhat puzzled. Eleven-thirty. More than an hour had passed. Logically, like last time with Aina, after a period of time, something similar to Weiers soul should actively come looking for him and enter this nest. But three hours had passed, and where were they? My Cat Cat, where is it? [Note: Trash traveler, Cat Cat doesnt have the sensitive nose of the Little Wolf Girl, how is she supposed to find you in the mountains? If you dont actively search, youre going to lose Cat Cat~ No, youve lost her already!] ... In the wilderness, seven people were lurking in the woods, observing the Xia countrys Haicheng Travelers Park located five kilometers away through binoculars. Marty Rogli was the leader of this team. He used to be the head of an armed force in Southeast Asia and had become one of the first batch of players six months ago, since then he has been forming his own Transcendent squad. All six of them were Transcendents he had wooed over by various meansall first batch game players, including three Third-tier Transcendents and the rest Second-tier. For this operation, they also brought three rare-tier equipment pieces. With such a luxurious setup, he didnt believe they couldnt take down that reputedly falsely-titled "Black Reapers of Death." Marty checked the time and said, "Dawn will update today at 12 PM, that person will definitely take out all the important stuff from his inventory for safetys sake. If we kill him, we can get all of his items." "Ala, you go ahead and scout the area." "Yes." A skinny individual slipped into the undergrowth and stealthily infiltrated towards the distance. Marty continued, "Hong Ji, you can get those insiders in the Traveler base to start their actions. I heard that because of some Dreamland Walker Council event in Jing City of Xia country, a lot of the experts here have gone over, leaving the defenses weak. Its the best chance for us to take over this place! If were lucky, we might even be able to raid the warehouse!" "Ive also found one of his former enemies to support us as an outside ally. He will provide support at a crucial time." "As the Xia people say: One must not miss the opportunity, for it will not come again! The road to prosperity for all of us starts... from today..." Suddenly, a soft calling sound interrupted his speech. "Meow~" Marty shivered in fright, and everyone immediately turned to look. They only saw a white cat. A moment later, the white cat disappeared from the spot under their watchful eyes. Chapter 285 - 229 Wei’er: This pervert is indeed flirting with girls here too!_1 Chapter 285: Chapter 229 Weier: This pervert is indeed flirting with girls here too!_1Ai Xues room. Luo Xi knocked twice on the door, and after hearing the other person say "come in," he pushed the door open and entered. Ai Xue put down her phone, her face lighting up with joy as she said, "Whats up, senior?" This was the first time the senior had taken the initiative to visit her room. Perfect timing, as she wanted to ask for his opinion on her current getup. Luo Xi glanced inside. Huh? Did Ai Xue put on makeup? And changed her clothes? Wow, how did she manage to look so much younger? Usually, Ai Xue was a little over 1.6 meters tall with a great figure, looking every bit the stunning maiden in the bloom of youth, but at this moment, Luo Xi noticed that she seemed to have shrunk in size. Emissary of the Dark Night talent shouldnt be effective during the day, should it? Could it be that Ai Xue has upgraded that talent to work during the daytime as well? [Note: Garbage Traveler, this is just makeup artistry, dont underestimate women!] Luo Xi: "!" Seeing Luo Xi not saying anything, Ai Xue curiously asked: "Senior, how do you feel about this look?" Ai Xue thought, if that cat-eared girl from the Dream world were to come to reality, given her current daytime appearance, she would have no competitive edge against the seniors inclination for little lolis. So, she thought of a way to use makeup to make herself look younger. As it turned out, it was quite effective! Looking at herself in the mirror, Ai Xue felt she resembled a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, not as green and tender as she was at night, but still much younger than before. The senior must like this type, right? "Not bad..." Luo Xi said in a deep voice, "Ai Xue, do me a favor." Ai Xue was taken aback for a moment and asked, "What favor?" Could it be that kind of favor? Hehe~ "Help me find a cat." Ai Xue: "?" Did the senior start raising a cat recently? Then she remembered the cat-eared girl from the Dream world that the senior had mentioned before. With a somewhat hoarse voice, the girl said, "Senior, youre not talking about that cat, are you?" Luo Xi paused for a moment, then replied, "Yes." Ai Xues Eye of Truth talent might be useful. Ai Xue: "..." She was being asked to help find a love rival from the Dream world. No matter how you looked at it, this was truly a scumbag move by the senior. But, this was a good opportunity~ "If you cant do it, its okay..." "I can, that talent just happens to have a function for finding people, it might come in handy." Ai Xue stood up, extended her hand towards Luo Xi with a smile, and said: "Senior, shall we go together?" After hesitating for two seconds, Luo Xi grasped her hand. [Ding! Ai Xues favorability towards you +5] By this time, it was already eleven fifty. Luo Xi thought of something and said, "The dream knapsack is about to close, Ill go take out anything we might need. Ill meet you downstairs later." "Sure!" Ai Xue withdrew her hand and said cheerfully, "Then Ill wait for the senior downstairs." ... Traveler Area, dining hall. Xu Li is the auntie who serves food here. Its the lunch rush, and with lots of people coming to eat, shes too busy to even take a break. "Damn it, why now? Ade, cover for me, I need to take this call." After serving the dish to the previous person, Xu Li immediately stepped back and headed towards the kitchen area. She then took out her vibrating phone from her pocket to look at it, and her expression changed instantly. They want me to call that person out? Thats impossible! She doesnt have the rights to enter the villa district. That person has been here for about a week now, always holing up in the villa areano one here has even seen him. And with her position, shes not even qualified to say a word to that special consultant, let alone call him out. Just then, a message popped up in her WeChat group. Xu Li saw it and suddenly burst into laughter. Its like whatever you think of, it comes true. Is this what they mean by everything comes to him who waits? In the WeChat group, someone shared a photo saying the big shot hiding in the villa district had finaly come out today. ... On the road within the park. Luo Xis eyelids twitched as he looked at the massive crowd ahead. At a glance, there had to be a hundred people, all gamers from the Haicheng park area. Wow, why are there so many people today? Is it because the games going down for maintenance and they have nothing better to do than come out for a walk? "Isnt that the big shot who moved into the villa district recently?" "Didnt they say that big shot is a loli-con? Isnt the girl next to him nice enough?" "Shes pretty cute, but shes at least 1.6 meters tall, she cant be a Lolita, right?" "But I heard that this Black Death God bigshot really does have a Little Lolita in his mansion? He even changed that Lolitas age to 22 years old, so it seems like it could be legal now, huh?" "Theres such a move? Damn impressive!" Many people were whispering and discussing Luo Xi as he walked by. Luo Xi really couldnt stand their scrutinizing gazes. He also wanted to know what was this saucy move about changing the age to 22 to make it legal? Which bastard was slandering him behind his back again? Hed be damned if he found out who it was! Suddenly, someone shouted from the crowd, "Youre that Black Lolita-con Death God, Luo Xi, arent you? You just got lucky and gained some strength, and now you dare to vent your filthy desires in both the Dream world and reality. Arent you ashamed?" Another person added, "Strength is not an excuse to do whatever you want! Youll get your comeuppance sooner or later!" A woman also yelled, "Those girls in the video are still so young, and you use your dirty fluids to contaminate their pure bodies and souls. Is this really something a human should do?! You really are a bustard!" "???" Luo Xi was left dumbfounded by the accusations. What the hell? He hadnt provoked these people, had he? To directly come at him with such a torrent of abuse as if he were someone with a good temper? [Note: Garbage Traveler, didnt I tell you that youve become famous! As the saying goes, the more famous you are, the more problems you get. Its so true~] This kind of fame is better off without! Luo Xi narrowed his eyes. However, before he could speak, Ai Xue angrily said, "What do you all know! Just parroting others and coming here to curse my senior. Although Senior does indeed like little" Luo Xi swiftly covered the girls mouth. What was this junior sister trying to explain? Was she about to say Senior really does like Little Lolitas? Did my lecture last night go in one ear and out the other? Luo Xi surveyed these people. He sneered, "What are you lot even worth? Who are you to dictate what I do?" No explanation needed. To him, these people were not worth mentioning. If it werent for being scolded out of the blue, Luo Xi wouldnt have bothered to give them a second glance. Instantly, the players emotions were agitated. Luo Xi suddenly received a bunch of prompts like [Someones Anger Value towards you has increased]. At that moment, a powerful voice rang out, "Make way for the Advisor! Talking behind Mr. Advisors back is one thingI cant control all of you for thatbut to dare do such things in front of him, it seems you havent learned the first thing I taught you when you entered this park!" "Haha! Were wrong, Instructor!" Many people laughed and fled the scene. Luo Xi looked toward the source of the voice. It was a burly man with a massive frame, wearing the work uniform of this place, his role apparently that of an instructor. He didnt show up before, but now he had, likely not feeling much Fondness towards him. Sar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. It figures. To others, he probably just seemed like a nouveau riche who got his hands on some high-level gear, fundamentally weak and pathetic. In reality, he had only been in touch with "Dawn" for two weeks. But there would always be people who felt discontented by his treatment. This guy must be one of them. The man walked over, smirking, "My name is Wang Zhen, Im an instructor for the ordinary players here. Where are you heading, Advisor Luo Xi? Need any help? Oh, if Mr. Advisor is planning to take this little girl into the woods to do those unspeakable things, then count me out; Id just spoil the mood." Ai Xue frowned, saying indignantly, "What are you talking about!" Why were all these people so unfriendly to her Senior? Luo Xi looked up slightly at the man. Seeing that Luo Xi didnt respond to him, Wang Zhen felt a surge of pleasure. Oh, how exhilarating it was to face someone on the hunters Dangerous Level rankings and taunt them. Not responding to him was just as the files said, this guy was merely a lucky player. If he could take everything from him, wouldnt he be the one standing out now? "You" Wang Zhen wanted to throw a few more insults, but instantly felt a breeze beside his ear. The youth who was still several meters away a moment ago appeared at his side in a blink, his hand on his shoulder. A moment later, he felt himself being thrown up dozens of meters high, and as he fell, a fist moving so fast that it left an afterimage hit his face. Wang Zhen went flying away, landing hard on the ground, losing consciousness instantly. The onlookers who were there for the spectacle instantly scattered in chaos. Luo Xi shook off his arm where black armor and scales had rapidly receded. [SparkScales Regional Coverage] This self-created move felt quite useful. He held out his hand toward the stunned Ai Xue, smiling, "Lets go." Two kilometers away. A snow-white cat stood at the highest point of the hillside, gazing into the distance. There seemed to be a lot of people over there. Could one of them be the person she was looking for? Then, she saw that the guy she had been searching for was holding hands with a girl. !!!()! That pervert, sure enough, in his own world, he was still flirting with girls! "Target group is now within three kilometers of the parks boundary, southwest direction. Members are scattered, a total of seven individuals, positions have been locked, ready to initiate Yuan Su Resonance Diffusion Device at any time, weapon system locked on." "Received." "Wait, has that Lolita... I mean, has Mr. Advisor come out?" Chapter 290 - 230: The First Encounter Between Cat Cat and Ai Xue, Black Death God_1 Chapter 290: Chapter 230: The First Encounter Between Cat Cat and Ai Xue, Black Death God_1(Replace) I-----"I am the steward of the manor, Ulysses." The steward was slightly startled, then asked respectfully, "Are you the new Lord of Belgri Town?" Luo Xi asked curiously, "How did you come to know?" Most people in the town should still be unaware that they suddenly have a new lord. Thats how the vast majority live, drifting with the tide, if they can survive another day, its a day won, even if they nearly died yesterday. Ulysses said, "Because the young master did not receive the strength befitting a lord, and the way you appeared was the same as the old lord." "I see." Luo Xi snapped his fingers lightly. He and the steward teleported to a bedroom moments later. Ryan was lying on the bed, seemingly still unconscious. Ulyssess expression changed, then he lowered his head and said, "Lord, this child is actually quite good; hes studious, cheerful, and positive. Could you spare him? I can make him submit to you, my lord..." [Note: A cute little boy? The traveler isnt interested unless its a little lolita~] Shut up. "I have no interest in harming such a young child," Luo Xi said. "Thank you!" Ulysses immediately tried to kneel before Luo Xi. A force lifted him up. Luo Xi asked, "Arent you curious about how I obtained the Divine Trees power?" "I am curious, but this is also good. The young master is immature, making him the lord could lead him down the same path as Lord Andrew." Ulysses shook his head and said, "In fact, Ive noticed over the past six months that Lord Andrew has slowly been going mad, but I was unable to stop him, and could only watch as he slid into an abyss from which he cant return. Perhaps this is his... own doing." Sorrow flickered through the middle-aged mans murky eyes. After a moment, he asked, "New lord, how do you plan to arrange matters for me and the child Ryan? And what about the other fifty-eight servants of the manor? Additionally, Lord Andrew had ten wives; what will you do about them?" [Note: Too bad the traveler isnt a fan of Cao Zei; otherwise, those ten wives would all be his~] Scram! "Lets talk about that later." Luo Xi looked at him and said, "I urgently need some people who can help me manage the town. The current business models and various systems are too deformed; this cant continue. Go and call the original town management over." The steward bowed deeply and said, "Lord, there is no management in Belgri Town. Ever since the incident six months ago, many capable people have left, and Lord Andrew was the only manager." "A dictatorship?" Luo Xi stroked his chin, sizing up the old steward, then said, "Then itll be you. Represent me during the day and sort out the situation in the town. Also, take the child with you. No matter how he lived in luxury before, from now on hes no different from the others here." "Also, the servants dealing with the manors affairs can stay. Dismiss Lord Andrews wives; let them find jobs or work in the town..." The old steward was astonished, "Me?" "Is that a problem?" Luo Xi frowned. "No! Of course not!" The old steward excitedly knelt on one knee and said, "Ulysses Mozer, the former contract knight of Mr. Andrew, is willing to offer my loyalty to you, my lord." [Ding! Ulysses offers you his loyalty] [Accept the offer?] [Detected source granted by the Belgri Divine Tree, Divine Tree controller automatically accepting] [Ding! Traveler, you have acquired a Knight of the Contract. He cannot betray you until you perish] A character template unfolded into text before Luo Xi. [Ulysses] [Race: Human Clan] [Loyalty: 90 (Knight of the Contract)] [Tier: Third-tier Intermediate] [Sublimation Path: Knight of the Contract (from the Belgri Divine Tree)] [Strength: 136] [Physique: 145] [Intelligence: 68] [Agility: 188] [Owned Skills: Contract, Spear Throwing, Heavy Strike, God-given Spear, Knights Charge, Cavalry Skill] [Description: The original contract knight of Andrew Volke. Upon the lords death, he should have automatically pledged loyalty to the next lord, but he did not rest assured with someone he never met. After talking with you, he is willing to dedicate the rest of his life to you] Luo Xi pondered upon seeing this, "Ulysses, listen to me, go and gather people tomorrow to do these things." "First, abolish all previous time currency systems established by Andrew and switch back to a money transaction model, restoring the original way of life starting tomorrow." "Second, enact laws that state Mutant Patients and pureblood humans have the same status, and no one should discriminate against others." "Third, stop the breeding of Snowworms, collect all the Snowworm larvae to the manor here." "Fourth, look for someone capable of managing in the town to restructure Belgri Town." "Ill think about the rest later. Did you get that?" "Yes!" The location of the Hollow Flower. Unlike its previous gray and fossil-like appearance, it had become a gaping maw with teeth. As Luo Xi approached, its teeth retracted sideways, leaving a deep passage at the center large enough to admit a person.

Chapter 291 - 230: The First Encounter Between Cat Cat and Ai Xue, Black Death God_2 Chapter 291: Chapter 230: The First Encounter Between Cat Cat and Ai Xue, Black Death God_2Luo Xis mouth twitched as he said, "Are you sure this thing can be entered? Damn Text, youre not going to harm me, are you? Where does it lead to?" [Note: Were also not sure where it leads to. The Hollow Flower is one entity in two parts, its numbers are unknown, and its randomly distributed across various continents of the world. There might even be a possibility to jump to another continent~ Youll never know if you dont try~] So its like opening a mystery box, huh? Luo Xi snapped his fingers. The Power of Divine Tree flowed, and wooden bars rose from the ground, enclosing the Hollow Flower. Ill try it out after some time then. For now, he needed to go back to reality for a bit. He had spent over a day in the Dream World; people outside probably thought something had happened to him. ... Ai Xue lay beside Luo Xis bed, staring at the young man on the bed. She did not feel sleepy, perhaps due to her talent, she became more energetic as the night progressed, but would feel sleepy during the day. Ai Xue touched Luo Xis hand, murmuring softly, "Senior, why havent you woken up yet..." Suddenly, Luo Xis hand moved, and his eyes opened. Ai Xue immediately exclaimed with joy, "Senior!" Luo Xi sat up and looked at Ai Xue beside the bed. Had this junior been waiting for him the whole time? Ai Xue asked worriedly, "Senior, did something happen to you in the game?" "Its fine." Luo Xi patted her head and smiled, "See, Im back now, did I miss anything today?" "Nothing, uh" The girls petite body suddenly plunged into Luo Xis arms, her voice tinged with sobs as she said: "Senior, you scared me so much..." Luo Xi looked down slightly, chuckling: "Thank you for caring so much about me." Actually, having someone care about him like this in reality felt pretty nice. "Senior" Ai Xues eyes twinkled, and suddenly she lifted her head and leaned in close. Luo Xis pupils dilated abruptly. The feeling Cat Cat gave him in that dream within a dream seemed like just before, and Ai Xues sudden move left him completely stunned. After what seemed like an eternity, the girl, on the verge of suffocation, let out deep breaths, and the soft, moist lips were irresistible. Ai Xue blushed and moved backward, her lips still damp and glowing. Luo Xi came to his senses, filled with contemplation. If things continued like this, he really might have the talent of getting chopped by an axe. The girl hung her head, not daring to meet Luo Xis eyes. [Note: Click Ive recorded the scene of you cute Little Lolita doing something to the Traveler, if you ever run away, Ill spread this to the whole world~] Damn Text, you dare! Ai Xues lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to say more, but eventually she ran out of the room with a blushing face and returned to her own bedroom, flopping onto the soft bed. "Why didnt I dare to be bolder." Regret filled Ai Xue as she grabbed the quilt, blaming her own cowardice. She had thought of several ways to push down the Senior after he woke up throughout the day and night. But when it came down to it, she chickened out, only daring to go in for a kiss. Ai Xue rolled over, looking at the ceiling, her fingers on her lips, her purple-tinted eyes slightly smug. But this was also a victory, wasnt it? At least this time Senior didnt reject her~ After Ai Xue left, Luo Xi remained spaced out on the bed for a while before he thought to check the time. Today was October 11th, 4:10 a.m. Luo Xi got up from bed and walked onto the balcony, taking in the view outside. In the deep night, many autumn cicadas were chirping, and the yellow-white streetlights at intervals shone like nightmares in the night. Everyone was sleeping at this hour, and besides the patrolling officers, there was no one on the streets. Leaning against the railing in the cold wind, Luo Xi took out his phone to go through the messages that had accumulated throughout the day. He had a narrow social circle; most of the messages were from a few roommates in the school and the class leader and other class officers. But Luo Xi had told them that he found a job again, and he would probably visit the school less often in the future. Well, he did get a full-time advisory position, and although there wasnt much to do, it was technically a job. Additionally, Master Jiujian had left him several messages saying he was on a business trip for the next few days and couldnt mentor him in swordsmanship and to take care of himself. Thump thump! The door to the room was knocked. Luo Xi went to open it and saw Ai Xues face, still with a hint of blush. The girl seemed embarrassed as she looked at him. "Senior, youre not asleep, are you?" Luo Xi smiled, "Is there something else?" Sear?h the n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Recalling the earlier incident, Luo Xi felt puzzled; could this junior really be thinking of pushing him down? Ai Xue hesitated, then took out her phone and said, "Senior, you probably dont know about this, I came to tell you." "What is it?" "Senior, it seems like youve become famous," Ai Xue said. Luo Xi: "?" "This girl, shes the one you said from the Dream World that you liked, right?" Ai Xue pursed her lips, turned on her phone, and played a video. Just a twenty-second short video. Title [A player in the Dream World xx a cute young Beast Eared Girl...] Luo Xi was instantly dumbfounded. Damn, isnt this him from the Dream World? How did it turn into a video here? Weier and Aina were also captured in the video. Ainas face, slightly reddened from being petted on the tail by him, was deliberately magnified, and the image was exceptionally clear. Chapter 292 - 230: The First Encounter Between Cat Cat and Ai Xue, Black Death God_3 Chapter 292: Chapter 230: The First Encounter Between Cat Cat and Ai Xue, Black Death God_3Ai Xue stole a glance at Luo Xi and said quietly, "It seems that theres a player from Ri Island who has a unique talent for filming in the Dream World. He secretly filmed you and your friends and then posted it. Now it has spread everywhere. I saw the video in a cafeteria WeChat group here in our Traveler District." [Ding! Your nickname: Black Death God Lolita-con has been recognized by thirty thousand people.] [Additional special effect: After wearing this nickname, when Dreamland Travelers see you, even if they dont recognize you, they will know this nickname and feel shocked for 10 seconds (Shock Effect: Spiritually scattered thoughts for 10 seconds, can be negated or reduced by spirit resistance).] Damn! What kind of absurd nickname is this, even a dog wouldnt use it! Nnd, which bastard secretly filmed and leaked it! Luo Xi thought of that lieutenant colonel Traveler from Ri Island a few days ago. It was that guy, right! Heh, that guy must still be in Belgri Town. "Hehe" Luo Xi narrowed his eyes and suddenly let out a strange laugh. Ai Xue swallowed. She felt that such a senior was kind of scary. Ai Xue then thought of something from before, and this time she mustered up the courage to say, "Senior, Im still in a smaller form right now, I definitely wont lose to that Cat-eared Girl in the Dream World..." A large hand with a warm breath covered her mouth. Luo Xi shook his head and said, "I, as your senior, do indeed like cute girls, but that doesnt mean Im really a perverted Lolita-con!" "Junior, believe me! Can you do that?!" Ai Xue blinked her beautiful eyes and nodded repeatedly. Luo Xi let go of his hand and said with emotion, "Thats good, I dont know when it started, but my reputation has been getting worse and worse. Ai Xue, you must never believe those comments on the external Internet. Your senior has always been a person with a normal xp!" Ai Xue, with a serious expression and fists clenched, said, "I believe in you, Senior!" "Thats good." Luo Xi nodded in satisfaction. Finally, he had corrected Ai Xues perception of him. In her heart, Ai Xue thought that the senior must be too embarrassed to admit it. After all, apart from those with really thick skin, few Lolita-cons would admit they are such. Once discovered, the law is very severe with such people. Previously, the senior must have been suppressing his inner thoughts, but in the Dream World, he thought there were no police officers, so he started to let loose, which is wrong! People must have some bottom lines. Those two Beast Eared Girls in the video are still too young; they definitely cant bear it, so I will... Hey? Didnt the senior say that the Cat-eared Girl was already of age? Ai Xue picked up her phone and watched the video several more times, then pouted. Damn, that Cat-eared Girl is actually legal! So what if she has cat ears and a tail, whats so great about that?! After Ai Xue left again, Luo Xi opened the video she had forwarded to him, watched it several times, and became increasingly angry. Immediately, he used the Divine Tree Overseers rights and synced directly to the Dream World. After searching through the town with his spirit suspended on the Divine Tree, that scrawny guy from Ri Island instantly appeared on the network provided by the Divine Tree. Luo Xi sneered. Still here? Then it will be easy to deal with. From now on, youre not going to want to leave. Naturally, he wouldnt show up in front of Kobayashi Wild again, or he might be exposed once more. However, confining that guy in this town was something he could easily do now as the Lord. From now on, let your character work in my town for a lifetime. Feel the wrath of someone with authority! Kobayashi Wild had been pondering the changes in Belgri Town. He had seen the night when Lord Andrew went crazy and the scene where the Gold Snowworm massively devoured people in the middle of the night. He even triggered a special mission, but then he was inexplicably logged out for a whole day and night. When he logged in again, the text reminded him that something terrible seemed to have happened here. What exactly happened? Kobayashi Wild searched outside for a long time and asked many people, but couldnt find out. Ever since he posted that video, quite a few hunter groups in the real world had been eyeing him; after all, a talent for filming in the Dream World is truly rare. He had no choice but to seek protection from Ri Islands officials. Because of the rarity of his talent, the officials valued him highly and provided him with many resources, including a path from Tier Zero to Tier One Sublimation. But the Lord sealing the town made him feel uncomfortable. His contract was only for a month, and once it was over, he would rather die than sign again. He must leave by then. Kobayashi Wild had already dreamed up his own adventure outside, encountering beauties from another world and companions, and eventually reaching the apex of success. Arent all light novels this clich? [Ding! Traveler, you have been marked by the Lord.] [Ding! Traveler, without the Lords permission, you have been permanently restricted from leaving the city.] [Ding! Traveler, the Lord demands that you help others for three hours daily without expecting anything in return, or you will be thrown into the dungeon.] Kobayashi Wild: "???" ... Jing City, Xia country. Jiu Jian walked out of the grand hall, feeling somewhat weary. Xia country was steadily making legislations regarding Dreamland Travelers. In addition, the World Dreamland Traveler United CouncilWDTC, which includes 150 countries from around the world, has initially been established. As one of the promoters, they managed to secure considerable speaking rights. The meetings these past few days have been truly more exhausting than working continuously through several all-nighters. But there was no helping it, as the second "Dawn" beta test was approaching. They would have more issues to deal with by then, so they had to plan for the upcoming changes and potential scenarios. In this rapidly changing world, if a real Tier Four Lord Transcendent were to appear, it would have a deterrent power comparable to nuclear weapons, or even higher. At that moment, his interface popped up with a message. ["Dawn" version 2.0 beta will soon be live, releasing 999,999 slots. The service will be down for updates from 12 PM to 10 PM on October 11th, and servers will precisely open at 10 PM on October 11th.] [During the update period, all game section functions, including Dreamland inventory, will be suspended; only personal text prompts will remain. Please take out any necessary items from your inventory in advance.] [This update includes: [Dream Trading Platform] [Real-world crisis prompts in sync status] [Title display function] [World Epic Quest Achievement Board]] "So the update is finally coming?" ... Luo Xi had a good sleep. By the time he woke up, it was already ten in the morning, and the cicadas outside were tirelessly chirping. The prompt for "Dawn" to undergo the update popped up as well. Luo Xi glanced at it, then suddenly said, "Damn Text, are you the one behind this game?" [Note: We dont know~ (We dont want any Ai Cao either! ())] Heh. So its likely you were involved in this, or at least had a part in it. Someday, Ill have to drag out the Damn Text and give it a good beating, I really want to see it cry wah wah wah. But ten hours of update time... thats long. Ever since Luo Xi started playing this game, he has been spending a lot of time on it every day. [Traveler, you were woken up by Cat Cat.] [Weier wants to come over to your place.] Luo Xi pondered for a moment. Sar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Honestly, he had been ignoring Cat Cat for so many days, and now he could indeed let her come over. [Traveler, you took two Lolitas to the manor, found an unused bedroom for them, and took out the cradle.] [Under Ainas envious gaze, Weier lay down in the cradle and soon fell asleep.] In the real nest, a phantom egg appeared just as it did the last time Aina came, gradually solidifying. Luo Xi sat on the bed, waiting for Weiers arrival, with clothes already prepared on the bed. Knock knock "Come in." Ai Xue pushed the door open and said, "Senior? Dawn is about to update, did you see it... Hmm, whats this?" What she saw was an egg glowing with a shiny white light, along with some pretty dresses lying on the bed. Werent these dresses and lingerie some she had previously gone shopping for with her senior? Luo Xi thought for a moment and said, "How to put it... inside this is that Cat-eared Girl from the video, from the Dream world." Ai Xue: "Ah?!" Was she finally going to meet this real rival in love? ... "Meow?" In the woods, a snow-white, red-eyed little cat looked around confusedly by the stream. Where is this, meow? Meow meow meow? ----- A two-in-one Chapter, no more tonight, awoo~ After this plot is over, the fourth main girl will also be coming out, a tiny spoiler, its a cute little fox~ Chapter 293 - 231: Cat Cat and Rival, Mutation Upgrade, Dragonization State! (6k two in one)_1 Chapter 293: Chapter 231: Cat Cat and Rival, Mutation Upgrade, Dragonization State! (6k two in one)_1Being mercilessly used as a hoe to till the land, this provoked Sparsoyes great wrath. He was a third-tier Mutated Transcender. With his Strength attribute points reaching as high as 230 under the successful influence of his genetic traits, how dare this first-tier guy grab ahold of him?! S~ea??h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Stop it! Let go!" Sparsoye roared with rage, his arms covered in mane fur strained to pry apart the black steel hand clamped around his neck. However, he found that he couldnt break free! How much amplification did this strange black armor give this person? Should this kind of cheat-level equipment really exist in the current version of "Dawn"? Are the games GMs there?! Theres a cheater here, wont you come take a look and ban his account? Of course, Sparsoye knew that the creators behind "Dawn" wouldnt be interested in watching their side. He just wanted to express his discontent. As for the confrontation in flames, he didnt fall short, the black and red flames spreading over the black armor entangled with his purple flames, but this also shocked him immensely. How could the flames of a third-tier Transcendent possibly be so closely matched with the flames of a first-tier? Could it be that his fire had also been amplified? But logically, even an amplification of five times wouldnt reach this extent, right? You should know that regardless of whether a Transcendent walks the Path Beyond the Mortal of Sublimation or Mutation, tier three is the stage where the essence of life changes; his flames had at least quintupled in strength after stepping into third-tier Mutation. Does this mean that if this persons actual strength was also third-tier, they could easily crush him in the area where he was most proud? How on earth did this guy do it? [Ding! Sparsoyes Fear Value toward you increased by 100] "Afraid? Too late." Luo Xi, relying on the mighty propulsive force of Spark, directly took Sparsoye several hundred meters away to an empty grassland in the park. He grabbed Sparsoye, leaped dozens of meters high, and metal on his right arm instantly grew many scales, swinging him down onto the ground with the force of a mountain-splitter. Boom! With the splitting of the grass and the drift of dust, just like when Sparsoye arrived, a deeper pit was smashed into the ground beneath. "Theyve started fighting over there!" There were also players here who hadnt managed to hide in time due to relaxation outdoors; they laid down wherever they could. Seeing this scene, a few fearless ones immediately approached and took out their phones to record. "Black armor? Is that the Black Death God? Who is he fighting?" "I dont know, could it be someone who scolded him and enraged him just now? I heard the rotten ghost Wang Zhen was sent flying by him." "Nonsense, that guy is obviously an invader!" "An invader?!" On the other hand, Luo Xi controlled Spark to land in front of the pit, looking down at Sparsoye in the hole. His armor became pliable around his waist, and Luo Xi drew out a black longsword, pointing it at the enemy who was trying to get up below. The black and red flames wound up the longsword, causing the green-Quality blade to gradually melt from the high heat, while also imparting it with greater strength. "Roar!" Sparsoye leaped out of the hole, his leg muscles bulging nearly to the point of bursting his pants, trembling. His lion-like brown-gold eyes angrily glared at Luo Xi. "You are humiliating me!" "Humiliation? Lets call it that." Luo Xi casually said, "Everyone treats me as if Im easy to bully, really thinking Im easy to provoke? Ive recently been practicing my swordplay for a period of time, and Ill use you as my first target to test it." "Would I be afraid of you?" Sparsoyes face twisted, showing a mix of moose and lion expressions, and he growled, "Though your strength is above mine now, you surely cant maintain this state for long, right? Once you end this state, Ill definitely tear you to pieces!" While speaking, Sparsoye gradually moved backward. Despite his tough talk, Sparsoye was already thinking of making a strategic retreat. This Black Death God truly lived up to his name. He suspected that only those few monsters ranked in the top three might possibly be a match for this guy wearing the black armor. In terms of pure strength, it already exceeded the scope of third-tier. Void of technique, relying solely on the strength of the equipment, he could crush those ordinary players who worked hard to level up, even those who chose to constantly undergo Mutation and strained their lives for strength. This made Sparsoyes inner rage burn even more fiercely. On what grounds?! Luo Xi saw his fear and mocked, "Want to run away? What happened to all that bravado you had earlier?" "Who wants to run?!" Sparsoye sneered angrily, and in the face of the others mockery, heat overcame his mind. He no longer cared whether he could win or not, his fists carrying a rough and overbearing arrogance, he launched a violent punch at Luo Xi with brute force! "Fist of Heaven and Earth Dominance!" Luo Xi was taken aback. Quite a domineering name; was it a skill name from some video game character? He directly confronted it with his sword. On the black steel hand of Spark, a portion of the black liquid flowed onto the blade, enveloping the sword body that could no longer bear the high temperature. "Cloudflow Sword! Cloud Slash!" The sword shadow was graceful! The instant the black longsword touched Sparsoyes fist, a violent shock was produced, the ground shook violently, followed by the sound of fabric being brutally ripped through the air. Chapter 294 - 231: Cat Cat and Rival, Mutation Upgrade, Dragonization State! (6k two in one)_2 Chapter 294: Chapter 231: Cat Cat and Rival, Mutation Upgrade, Dragonization State! (6k two in one)_2Afterwards, a torrent of air burst forth, with dozens of black and red sword lights erupting, carving deep marks upon the ground. This was the result of a large amount of Yuan Su being transformed into sword qi. Sparsoye grunted in pain, the purple flames on his body suppressed by the sword qi, continuously retreating backward. Luo Xi kept up the pursuit, swinging his long sword to chop at Sparsoyes body while sighing in his heart. The swordsmanship he had just learned was still not up to par. The quality of the sword was not great either; the flames amplified by Spark could simply melt the sword. Perhaps only weapons of a rare level could be used in conjunction with Spark. And even with the enhancement of Spark, overpowering the enemy with a sword in hand didnt mean he was strong in swordsmanship. After all, if he put down the sword and simply used his fists to face the enemy, utilizing skills like Scale Armor and Critical Strike, the damage would be much greater. "Forget it, lets just go with this." Listening to Luo Xis sigh, Sparsoye, already struggling to contain his anger, found it even harder to suppress it. Youre just a wall-hanging player, and you dare mock me like this? He knew he had to run. But he couldnt escape at all. How could he run when the enemys stats were all above his? Then he would have to make a desperate move! People, when enraged, tend to lose their rationality, and Mutant Patients are even more prone to this. Dozens of pounds of Essence Crystals he had on himself for emergencies were absorbed by him all at once, transforming into vast amounts of Yuan Su within his body. The purple flames on his body turned a deep purple in an instant, his body swelling as if he truly became a lion. Then, like a ferocious beast, Sparsoye lunged at Luo Xi, eager to tear him to shreds. The path trodden by the lion burst open with countless cracks, with searing flames spreading and twirling up devouring purple fire snakes! Luo Xi finally felt pressured. Sar?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The opponent was burning through his life. But that was all. "Spark, dont hold back." "Yes! Furnace Core, loading at capacity!" In an instant, the output power of Sparsoyes Furnace Core surged, and the Abyss Flame amplified by Spark turned a deeper shade of black, billowing towards the enemy. Sparsoye felt the pain of his body burning up for the first time in a while. His oncoming steps suddenly slowed down. The madness faded from Sparsoyes eyes, leaving only bewilderment. It turned out that this man was superior to him in every ability. Then, the black sword shadow, along with the black and red flames and that dark steel silhouette, swept over Sparsoyes body, and a merciless dark sword light bisected him at the waist. After cutting through Sparsoye, the dark sword light continued towards the sky, slicing the clouds a kilometer high apart, bursting open countless cloud pieces. [Ding! You have gained a basic understanding of the third-tier technique "Thousand Blossoms Cloud Cut" from the Cloudflow Flower-roll Sword Technique.] [Your Cloudflow Flower-roll Sword Technique has advanced to the Proficient Level.] The players in the surrounding area looked up into the sky in an almost dazed state. The sky, which had been peaceful and blue with thick and tranquil clouds, had disappeared, leaving only a sea of cloud petals blasted apart by the black sword light. Sparsoyes body, having lost its lower half, rapidly withered away. "Why... why can you" "Theres no reason why." Luo Xi swung his sword again to sever his head, which rolled several times on the ground. Sparsoye, deeply incomprehending, took his last breath with unblinking eyes. After dying completely, Sparsoyes previously withered body swelled up suddenly, with purple flames constantly emerging from it. Seeing that the situation was not good, Luo Xi immediately kicked the body into the air. Boom! An ear-splitting explosion followed, and visible shockwaves spread in all directions at a hundred meters in the air. Sparsoyes body vanished completely in a sea of purple flames, and a deep purple flame actively approached Luo Xi from below. Luo Xi tried to block with his hand but grasped at nothing. The purple flame blended instantaneously with his own black and red flames, indistinguishable from each other. The scorching circle of flames enveloped him alongside Spark. In the distance, someone tremblingly asked, "Did you get that on video?" The girl beside him nodded, "Yes, I got it all." The man said excitedly, "From now on, Im Black Death Gods number one fan. If anyone calls him Loli-con, Ill lose it!" The girl, confused, said, "But what if he really is a Loli-con?" "Still not okay!" The man gripped the girls shoulder earnestly, "Do you want us to become a laughingstock? A top domestic player, a frontrunner among the worlds Dreamland Travelers with such a weird nickname? How can we hold our heads up then?" The girl pondered. Indeed. In the future, when there are more Dreamland Travelers, if someone asks about that Black Loli-con Death God in their country, the thought alone felt quite shameful. Luo Xi looked astonished at the prompts that just popped up in front of him. [Ding! You have killed the true form of a Tier-Three Fire Elemental Class Mutated Transcendent.] [You may extract one of his talents and crystallize it, and also receive some items from his stash.] [The hidden attribute of the Black Abyss Flame Dragon Factor - Dark Devouring - has been activated for the first time, devouring the opponents fire elemental essence...

So stop being one!)]] [You have acquired the skill: Dragon Breath LV2] [Description: Capable of spewing flames reaching temperatures of up to 3000 degrees (perfect for grilling meat, but be careful not to burn yourself~)]] Luo Xi: "..." After the amplification by Spark, the overwhelming power inside him became even more vast, the black-red flames almost turning pure black, and then in the next second, the color of the fire switched to crimson red. The explosive increase in power made it somewhat uncontrollable for him. What the hell is this hidden factor trait Dark Devouring? Damn Text, come out! [Note: Although high-tier Origin Beasts cannot reproduce naturally, Origin Beasts with similar traits can devour each others Benyuan to grow and advance.

Traveler, you have perfectly inherited this trait, which means, in effect, you can not only turn into Little Red Dragon Lolita but also into Little Black Dragon Lolita!]] Luo Xi: "???" ... Ai Xue, holding the white cat in her arms, entered the supermarkets storeroom and then slipped out the exit. Her senior said, the person with the gun was targeting her. The girl didnt understand why she would attract such a persons attention. Wait a minute, this talent "Eye of Truth" was acquired last time she was with her senior and that Wolf Eared Lolita. Was it possible that the other party already knew about her golden talent? Ai Xue suddenly felt her scalp tingle. She knew the value of a golden talent. Was she being targeted? "Meow!" Bang! As the cats cry sounded, Ai Xue suddenly felt a chill on her back. There was no need for her to open the scroll, as a scroll in her arms automatically unfurled itself. In an instant, a warm glow enveloped the space before her. Swoosh! A golden bullet ripped through a barrier of light and then stopped within the barrier created by the scroll, which repeated the process four times. "Phew" Ai Xue, looking at the bullet stopped before her eyes, took a nervous breath and looked in the direction from which the bullet had come, but the shooter had vanished. Cat Cat glanced at the scrolls in Ai Xues embrace. That guy, really treating the things mom gave him as his own, using them is one thing, but also letting the girls in this world use them! Really wanted to bite him! ()!] But, has this guy always been this good to the people around him? The eyes of Cat Cat, faintly flushed, drooped slightly. Suddenly, she bit into a scroll in Ai Xues embrace. Before the girl could react, Cat Cat leaped out of her arms and quickly vanished from Ai Xues sight. Shrouded in a cloak, Sheng Mao hunkered down behind a wall corner, his shape completely hidden. This was a cloaking cloak he had obtained at a great cost, allowing him to evade various surveillance systems along the way and enter the compound. Though it was only a blue [Rare-] special item, it still cost him all the savings he had accumulated since establishing the hunting club, as well as many precious Dream world items. He couldnt defeat the Black Death God, but he wanted to try his luck with the golden talent on that girl. If he won the gamble, it would be a leap to the heavens! But, this bunch really had money to burn. Sear?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Using Tier Four skill scrolls as if they cost nothing. Where did they get such resources in the Dream world? Stuff you cant even buy with money, is a Tier Four Skill Practioner your daddy? Damn, I dont believe you can keep using high-tier scrolls forever! Time might be running out. If he waited for that guy to finish his fight and head this way, hed have even less of a chance. "All in!" Seeing the defensive scrolls around the girl disappear, Sheng Mao stealthily approached, drew a dagger, and stabbed towards the girl. However, another barrier of light intervened, blocking his attack again. Damn! Enough is enough, are these skill scrolls ever going to end or what! Just then, Sheng Mao heard a cats meow. Huh? A snow-white cat appeared behind him, its mouth holding something, and then threw the item out. Sheng Mao stared blankly. Is this... a scroll? As intense energy fluctuated, among piercing howls of wind, countless blue wind blades appeared on the scroll, enveloping Sheng Mao like a tornado. "What! Ah" Sheng Mao, caught in the swarm of wind blades, let out a pained shriek. Ai Xue, too, was startled, but she quickly reacted, leaped out of the barrier of light, grabbed the cat that was almost swept into the blades, and rolled to the side. Chapter 296 - 231: Cat Cat and Rival, Mutation Upgrade, Dragonization State! (6k two in one)_4 Chapter 296: Chapter 231: Cat Cat and Rival, Mutation Upgrade, Dragonization State! (6k two in one)_4Ai Xue stared intently at the person within the effective range of the spell until his voice grew weaker and weaker, and after the wind blade completely vanished, what remained was a body too ghastly to behold. It was only then that the girl realized her back was covered in cold sweat, soaking all her clothes. "Meow~" Cat Cat gave a feeble meow, her eyelids drooping as she pushed at the softness holding her with both paws. She was getting more and more sleepy. If she couldnt meet that guy soon, maybe she would end up like her mother, never truly arriving in this world? Ai Xue looked down at the cat in her arms and softly said in the language of the Dream World: "Kitty, are you the person Luo Xi mentioned?" Cat Cats whole body shook. Why was she speaking to her in the language of her world? Did she recognize me? Did that pervert tell her about me? Weiers thoughts were in complete disarray. At that moment, Luo Xis voice came through: "Ai Xue, are you alright over there?" When Luo Xi arrived, he immediately saw the kneeling Ai Xue with a shattered corpse lying in front of her. Was the problem solved? That seemed normal; he had stuffed Ai Xue with several defensive scrolls and ten attack scrolls, each with half the power of a Tier Four Skill that Liya had given them before. "Im fine, senior." "Meow!" A meow from the cat made Luo Xis eyebrows jump. He looked at Ai Xue with puzzlement, and then at the white cat cradled in her arms. The cat was also looking at him with its beautiful light red eyes. Sarch* The n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Luo Xi shuddered subconsciously. This familiar gaze... Could this cat be Weier? "You two... Cat Cat?" The white cat instantly fluffed up its fur, and the weariness in its eyes turned to irritation. It leaped from Ai Xues arms onto Luo Xis face and scratched his face several times with its sharp claws. "Meow! Meow meow meow meow!(Where the hell have you been!)" Luo Xi grabbed the white cat, and man and cat glared at each other. Confirmed, this cat was Weier. But why did Cat Cat actually become a Cat Cat? Emmmm... It didnt seem wrong, though. Ai Xue called out softly from the side: "Senior, over there!" Luo Xi turned his head for a look. Black smoke was rising from behind the parks hill, indicating that it was being subjected to destruction. The call before had mentioned that someone was targeting a certain device that had just been researched here. Luo Xi placed Cat Cat back into the kneeling Ai Xues arms and said, "Ai Xue, help me take her back to my room, Ill be back soon." Ai Xue immediately felt some panic: "Senior, can I really do it?" "Why not?" Luo Xi asked with confusion. Ai Xue looked weakly at the cat in her arms. She was about to confront her rival directly! The senior seemed completely unconcerned. The feeling was like a casanova who had previously kept his fish separate suddenly putting them together in one fish tank, totally unconcerned, as if wanting to watch from the sidelines. [Note: How about you two discuss getting rid of that damn Traveler together~] Luo Xi raised an eyebrow. Damn Text, what are you spouting now? "Ill go over there and come back after resolving the issue on that side." Luo Xi narrowed his eyes and looked towards the hill. Skill [Dragonization LV1]. With a new skill, shouldnt he use it? [Ding! You are using the skill: Dragonization] In an instant, Luo Xis body became engulfed in high-heat flames that burned all his clothes clean, shrouding him. He felt as if he were sinking into a stupor. His original body seemed to dissolve, then quickly began to reform, from the internal organs to the blood, and then to the bones, with the sensation of his body fading, new strength surged within this new form. Hu A gust of warm wind blew abruptly. Ai Xue raised her hand to shield her eyes. The black and red flames engulfing Luo Xis body slowly dissipated, revealing a body covered in scales that could be deemed perfect. At the same time, a pair of pitch-black Dragon Wings and a long Dragon Tail stretched out from the back of the young man! ---- - Next months updates, depending on the situation, might be combined Chapters or two Chapters released together, but the word count can only be guaranteed above 4,000, not 6,000 to 7,000 every day anymore.

(5k combine into one)_1 Chapter 303: Chapter 235 Dont Step on his Face, Cat Cat, This is a Reward for Him! (5k combine into one)_1"Ill go take a shower first, you two can chat for a bit more." Luo Xi walked to the bedside under the icy stares of the two girls, pulled open the wardrobe, and began searching for his clothes. He didnt know what the two sisters talked about when he wasnt there, but Luo Xis male intuition told him that he should leave this place for now. Staying here might actually pose a risk of getting knifed. [Ding! Your Factor Concentration has increased by 0.2 percentage points] [Current Factor Concentration: 5.21%] The text prompt flickered. Luo Xi frowned. Dragonization had been lifted, so why was the Mutation degree still increasing? [Note: The acquisition of strength naturally comes with a price. After temporarily boosting the Mutant Factor concentration by 20 points, Traveler, do you think you can return to your original state without any consequences?] So thats how it is. That is to say, if he keeps using the [Dragonization] skill continuously, will the Factor Concentration skyrocket? 5% Factor Concentration is to enter the Second-tier Mutation. The Third-tier probably requires at least 15%? Or maybe 20%? However, just like Sublimation, there is a limit to Mutation; the limit of Sublimation comes from the maximal path granted by the Divine Tree, while Mutation is limited by the Origin Beasts themselves. Upon nearing or reaching that limit, if one desires to further progress, what should be done? Luo Xi thought of Rat King Noss. Noss had schemed for so long, probably aiming to push beyond that limit, right? Can this pathway of Mutation, Transcendence, allow one to maintain their sanity as a human while continuously getting stronger? Suddenly, an intense heat rose from within, as if to incinerate his internal organs, causing him to cough involuntarily. Then, bright red flames, reaching temperatures of up to 3000 degrees, erupted from his throat, falling onto the closet and instantly turning it and the clothes inside to ashes, and the flames continued to spread. "Huh? Whats going on!" "Senior?" The two girls sitting opposite the bed were startled by Luo Xis actions. Without time to explain to Cat Ai Xue, Luo Xi grabbed the fire extinguisher that was always by the bedside, sprayed it a couple of times, put it down, and hurried off: "Sorry, I need to go take a quick shower!" But after just two steps, the dizziness in Luo Xis brain intensified, and the aftereffects of lifting Dragonization finally surfaced. As his limbs lost strength, his vision grew darker, and he fell uncontrollably toward the bed. To be precise, he toppled onto Cat Ai Xue, who was sitting on his bed. "Meow! What are you doing, you pervert?!" Weier thought Luo Xi, the pervert, was up to his usual tricks again, intending to push him away, but then she realized that Luo Xi seemed to have truly passed out. When her hand touched Luo Xis back, it retracted immediately as if it had touched a red-hot piece of iron, her delicate fingers turning red in an instant. "Ouch, thats hot!" Weier had no choice but to move away and let Luo Xi fall onto the bed. Ai Xue quickly got up and asked, "Whats wrong with senior? Did he get hurt in the fight just now? Should we call a doctor..." Weier locked her gaze on Luo Xis body and shook her head, "No need, this is his own problem, a doctor is useless here. This condition is probably a side effect of deepening Mutant Factor erosion, or some issues with his own body." Luo Xi currently wore only a white coat. The muscles on his abdomen were clearly defined, and his well-proportioned body emanated a restless, hot odor, making Weier feel as if she were approaching a furnace. "Um! " Ai Xue whimpered.. "Hmm?" Weier looked at Ai Xue, puzzled. Ai Xue covered her eyes with her hands, her voice trembling, "Sen... senior, he seems... seems to be..." Weier: "..." What made this woman suddenly start stuttering? Wasnt she speaking quite fluently before? "Didnt you see it?" Ai Xue cried out with a flushed face, "You... senior isnt wearing any pants!" As she spoke, Ai Xue stole glances at Luo Xi, lying unconscious on the bed, through the slits between her fingers. Senior is so... so impressive! She suddenly felt somewhat relieved that senior had not accepted her seduction before. Impossible to think about! If it had happened, she would surely have been broken! But this little girl with cat ears didnt seem much bigger than herself when she was at her smallest in the evening... Ai Xue fell into thought. Compared to Ai Xues agitation, Weier was relatively unbothered. That first time dealing with Luo Xis initial awakening of the Mutant Factor, she had pretty much seen all that was to be seen. What was the big deal about this? Of course, it still had to be dealt with. Weier glanced around, reached into the bedside table, and pulled out a pair of scissors. Sar?h the n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. When Ai Xue saw them, she cried out in panic, "Wait, isnt this extreme?! Although senior is a bit of a scumbag, hes still a pervert who talked about liking and marrying your sister... .loli con, but that doesnt mean you should cut..." "What are you talking about?" Cat Cat looked bewildered at this woman. Cut what? Weier opened and closed the scissors a couple of times, then cut along the white coat on Luo Xis body, and tore it. Rip She tore off the coat which was now cut open. It was evident that some fibers had already melted and stuck to Luo Xis skin, and if any more time passed, they would have likely fully adhered to it. Weier cautiously avoided touching Luo Xis scorching body, so she wrapped him in a blanket to avoid getting burned, turned him over, and did the same with the back of his coat, tearing it off as she had done with the front. Chapter 304 - 235 Don’t Step on his Face, Cat Cat, This is a Reward for Him! (5k Two-in-one)_2 Chapter 304: Chapter 235 Dont Step on his Face, Cat Cat, This is a Reward for Him! (5k Two-in-one)_2Ai Xue watched Weiers series of proficient actions, standing there herself, foolish and clueless about what to do next. Compared to this cat-eared girl, Ai Xue felt like she was utterly useless. After Weier had finished tearing off all the clothes sticking to his body, she looked at Ai Xue and said, "His body temperature is too high, he must be cooled down. Is there cold water here? We need towels and a washbasin." Ai Xue paused, then said, "The bath...over there in the bathroom, can we just fill the bathtub with cold water and rinse the upperclassman to cool him down?" "That works, we need to lower his temperature first." "Then Ill go run the water!" Ai Xue immediately rushed into the bathroom and started filling the bathtub with water. Then she came out and, together with Weier, they moved Luo Xi wrapped in the blanket out. They shook him out of the blanket and into the tub as if they were dumping trash. The cold water in the bathtub clearly started steaming the moment it touched Luo Xi, it was uncertain how high his temperature was, but the water could boil in about a minute. The entire bathroom was filled with thick steam, and aside from the sound of flowing water due to the faucet, only the light panting of the two girls running around could be heard. ... Jing City. Jiao Qian, the head of the Haicheng City Dreamland Travel Bureau, looked gloomily at the report that had just come in. Nine Swords was next to him, his face equally grim. "Whos behind this?" Jiao Qian shook his head: "Its still unclear, Feng Xingming says Magician Janry hasnt spoken yet, and Ran Wanshan seems to have gone mad, but its uncertain whether he is truly insane or faking it. Additionally, many people in our park seem to have been bought off, of course, they might not know what they are doing." Nine Swords angrily knocked on the table, saying, "That damn Xia Xupeng, missing in action at a critical time, what is he doing gallivanting in the city? And he dares to claim he was on official business, who would believe that? Ive told him several times to keep a close watch on the base!" "Well decide on Xia Xupengs punishment later." Jiao Qian dropped his grim expression, smiled, and said, "Nine Swords, you have a good eye. If that young man wasnt in the park, the best outcome for the research base would have been to self-destruct, preventing them from getting their hands on the hardware and data." "Of course, my foresight has always been good...eh." Nine Swords said proudly, stroking his beard, then sighed softly, "I just didnt expect him to have such strong hidden abilities. Now that the news is out, its uncertain whether hell be able to stay with us." With the number of internal testers in "Dawn" rising, the demand for high-tier Transcendents across Xia country was also growing. Without sufficient strength and manpower, the local areas simply could not control the increasing number of players who embarked on the Path Beyond the Mortal. This was also the reason why devices such as the Yuan Su resonance dispersion instrument were needed. Now, those able to reach the third-tier were basically those who entered the game in the first batch six months ago. The total number of first batch players registered in Xia country was just over 2000. With Xia countrys support, the ones who successfully reached the third-tier were even fewer, just over a hundred, and not many spread out across each province. But the power and achievements Luo Xi displayed this time not only could enhance the overall strength rating among Xia countrys players, increasing their say in the newly established council, but also greatly magnified his own value. "Indeed, a rare talent." Jiao Qian said solemnly, "However, according to the psychological model we created, Luo Xi isnt someone with too many desires. Even if other places offer him better terms, he might not accept them, and besides, dont you still have your presence? He shouldnt leave before youve taught him all the sword techniques, right?" Nine Swords bitterly smiled, "My sword techniques? I suspect hell have learned all I have to teach in another two months." Jiao Qian raised an eyebrow and looked at Nine Swords, "Nine Swords, I remember, dont you have a granddaughter who just started junior high?" Nine Swords looked puzzled, "I do have one, what are you getting at?" Jiao Qian asked, "Is she pretty?" Nine Swords replied, "Shes cute and plump, and she eats like a little pig." Jiao Qian waved his hand dismissively, "Nevermind then, he probably wont be interested." Nine Swords scolded with a laugh, "What are you dismissing? Why dont you send your own daughter over!" The two of them glared at each other, and then laughed together. Jiao Qian said with a laugh, "We should give him an official title. That bizarre nickname is somewhat ridiculous, we cant influence abroad, but we can do well in our own home. With the million players this time, if we allocate according to the proportion of the population, we should get close to two hundred thousand. Once we find those players, well promote our current strongest Dreamland Traveler of Xia country, the [Black Death God]Luo Xi." ... Luo Xi had another dream. At the mouth of a giant volcano erupting with lava, lay a ferocious giant dragon, its scales entirely crimson red, with dark red flames burning incessantly on its body. It was tearing at a dead black dragon that somewhat resembled a bat. Sear?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Roar! As the scorching winds and dark mist spread together, the Red Dragon fell into a deep slumber. After an undefined amount of time, its form had changed significantly, and it abruptly opened its dragon eyes. Its golden vertical pupils stared at the sky and it growled softly. Afterward, its head slowly lowered, uttering a gentle cry. Resembling a mountain range, the body of a black giant object, too enormous to see in full, cast a shadow over the sky. It whipped up gales of wind as it swept across from high above. The flapping of its wings caused a steel-on-steel-like friction echo, and the wind pressure it released made countless Origin Beasts on the ground submit and bow their heads. Chapter 305 - 235: Cat Cat, Don’t Step on His Face, This is Rewarding Him! (5k Two-in-One)_3 Chapter 305: Chapter 235: Cat Cat, Dont Step on His Face, This is Rewarding Him! (5k Two-in-One)_3That was the Black Dragon Bahamut! After the Black Dragon departed, a pitch-black light surged toward the giant dragon underground and entered its body. Thus, the giant dragons form completely transformed. Its crimson scales were stained with a large swath of black; even the flames burning upon it took on a dark hue as it continuously stretched its body. The hundred-meter long giant dragon contentedly roared towards the sky, belching black and red flames that shook the surrounding land and mountains. "Hoo..." Luo Xi, tired, opened his eyes. The images from the dream were still clearly reflected in his mind. Could this strange dream have stemmed from the Mutant Factor within him, originating from the Origin Beast? The Black Abyss Flame Dragon, a Tier Five royal giant dragon that evolved by consuming a dark bat dragon after having its tier elevated by the Black Dragon Bahamut, seemed to have received another level-up assistance from it. Perhaps Luo Xi understood why he was able to encounter the Black Dragon high up in the sky, and not only did he not die, but he even managed to obtain its broken scales. Was Bahamut curious about the Mutant Factor in his body? [Note: Worthless Traveler, instead of thinking about this, why not take a closer look at the beautiful scenery? Theres a treat in store for you~] A treat? Coming back to his senses, Luo Xi realized he was lying naked in a bathtub in the bathroom. The hazy steam wafted through the room, creating an effect akin to dry ice on a CO2 stage. Through the mist in front of him, the conversation of two young girls in the language of the Dream World could be heard. "Should we continue pouring water on him?" "The temperature has already dropped; we probably dont need to anymore. Lets lift him out of the water." "Then Ill go check on Seniors condition." A soaking wet girl walked out from the fog ahead, her wet hair clinging tightly to her semi-transparent top from the water, her fair skin reddening attractively through the garment, alluring and moving. "Hmm?" Ai Xue blinked her eyes. In the bathtub, Luo Xis head was positioned differently from before. Was it an illusion? Weier said from behind, "Lets drain this tub of water, wipe him down, and take him back to bed. Its not good to soak in the water for too long." Ai Xue nodded, "Yeah, so will you or should I... wipe him down?" Weiers expression stiffened. Although she wanted to say do as you wish, whats the big deal about wiping a body, at times like this, saying it out loud felt somewhat uncomfortable. She had already felt quite uncomfortable earlier. She didnt understand why she always ended up saying things that were different from what she was thinking. Seeing Weier remained silent, Ai Xue tentatively said, "How about... we do it together?" Weier nodded slightly, "Okay." Then she added, "This way we can wipe him down faster." "Ill go get the towels." Ai Xue turned and walked out of the bathroom. Weier moved forward two steps. Cat Cat leaned over Luo Xi, who was lying in the bathtub with his eyes closed, touched his face, and whispered: "Pervert, arent you awake yet?" No response. "You, huh." Weier looked down and said, "I thought the world Aina described was such a beautiful place, but I see youre still working so hard in this world too." "She told me that if you Otherworld Travelers die here, then its real death." "So why do you still push yourself so hard? Cant you just take care of yourself?" "Since the first awakening of the Mutant Factor, youve advanced to Second-tier Mutation; do you want to become an irrational monster in two months?" "The towels are ready." Ai Xue returned with the towels and noticed Weier talking to the bathtub, then asked, "Is Senior awake?" Weier calmly stated, "No, not yet. I was just calling him an idiot." "Senior really can be quite silly sometimes." Ai Xue smiled and handed a towel to Weier, saying, "But I like that about Senior. If he werent like this, I wouldnt be here now." Weier nodded in agreement. Indeed. If Luo Xi werent like this, then perhaps she would have died in Winter City by now or would have followed her younger sister with their mother. Ai Xue looked at the young man in the bathtub, her face turning slightly red, "So... shall we start then? Front and back, or...?" "Either is fine." The two girls began wiping Luo Xi down with the towels, meticulously cleaning from his back to the neck, from the neck to the abdomen. In the end, Luo Xi felt a small hand holding a towel extending towards that area. A surge of blood rushed irresistibly upward... This was not good, a problem was about to arise! He finally spoke up, yelling, "Wait! I can do it myself... um..." When Luo Xi opened his eyes, he saw the two girls standing in front of the bathtub with different expressions, looking at him as though he were garbage. Cat Cat was also glaring at him fiercely. She held one hand to her chest, while her long cat tail was coiled around her waist, even tied in a little knot at the end. Like Ai Xue, because of the steam filling the bathroom, her dress clung wetly to her body; the white dress he had picked for her before now clung tightly to her form, though lacking the pronounced curves of her companions. Ai Xue, covering her mouth with a playful smile, said, "Senior, faking unconsciousness isnt nice, is it? When did you wake up? Are you satisfied with our service?" Luo Xi swallowed and replied, "Well, believe it or not, I actually just woke up..." Weier (n) lifted her leg and kicked hard into Luo Xis face, her slipper flying off in the process, leaving glistening droplets of water trailing down the curves of her fair and delicate feet.

Equipped, it adds +1 to your charisma, but greatly increases the probability of being slapped by girls.] [Note: Slaps and scumbags go hand in hand, you know~] Another one of these strange titles, damn text, youve really done enough! Luo Xi didnt understand why he kissed her as if possessed by something. Perhaps it was because Cat Cat seemed too tempting in her confused state? [Note: Garbage Traveler, no excuses! Youre just a big hentai who forcefully steals girls first kisses!] It was my first kiss too... well, maybe not really? Ai Xue pulled Cat Cat aside and after some questioning, she learned from Weier, who was stuttering and blushing as red as a cooked crab, what Luo Xi had done. The senior has done such a despicable... enviable thing! Damn it, why couldnt it be me! After last nights events, Ai Xue thought she had made some progress, but she didnt expect to be mercilessly overshadowed by the cat-eared girl from the Dream world. Ai Xue approached Luo Xi. Since it was already past ten at night and due to her innate stature, Ai Xue was even shorter than Weier. Looking up with her hands on her hips, she glared at Luo Xi and said, "Arent you going to apologize to Weier, senior?" Luo Xi: "..." So why have the two of you suddenly become so close? He walked over to Weier, reached out his hand, and gently brushed away the messy snowy hair on her cheek, saying with a face full of shame, "Im sorry, I wont ever do this again..." Sarch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "No way!" Weier seemed even more anxious than Luo Xi upon understanding what he was trying to say, raising her hand to cover his mouth directly. "Hmm?" Luo Xi blinked in confusion. "That..." Cat Cats face was reddening to the point it seemed ready to bleed. Her lips parted slightly, as if wanting to say something, yet not knowing what to say. To expect a tsundere girl to express her feelings directly is indeed too difficult. Seeing this, Luo Xi pried Weiers hand away from his mouth slightly and continued on his own, "Im sorry, I wont ever do it again..." Weier bit her lip. Cant this guy see whats going on? Or does she have to spell it out for him? Weier looked somewhat displeasedly at Ai Xue. I didnt say I didnt want it, so why are you rushing this guy to apologize to me? Could it be jealousy? Or are you scheming something else? Weier suddenly realized that even if she and Ai Xue had made what they called a promise, it was just an informal verbal agreement without any rules. If she were to shrink back right now, Would the other party think she was no threat at all? Would they just brazenly take Luo Xi for themselves completely? Of course, if Aina came over, she would probably be able to complete these tasks well on her behalf. Weier was even confident that Ai Xue was no match for Aina, but she didnt want to be outdone by her younger sister in this regard! Right as Luo Xi finished speaking, Weier suddenly tiptoed up, kissed him briefly like a dragonfly skimming the water, and then ran behind Ai Xue. Through the swaying strands of hair, Luo Xi saw her ears blushing red. [Ding! Weiers Shyness Value towards you +66] "How come youre even smaller than me now!" After realizing Ai Xue was smaller than her, Weier felt utterly confused and could only run down from the balcony. Right now, she didnt want to stay in front of Luo Xi and Ai Xue any longer. How embarrassing! Cat Cat deeply regretted why she had slapped the pervert. Is pretending not to know really not an option? And at that time, wasnt she actually not unhappy about it? Thud thud thud Listening to the sound of Weier running downstairs, Luo Xi touched his lips in surprise. Unlike the ideal beauty left in the dream, the real Cat Cat actually took the initiative? [Note: Useless Traveler, its still your first offense, using a girls favorability towards you to do such a thing, arent you ashamed?] Heck, wasnt all shame eaten away by you, damn text? What the hell have you done thats so good? "Senior." Ai Xues melancholic voice rang out. Luo Xi looked at the girl standing a few meters away, staring straight at him. In Ai Xues eyes, there lurked a hint of dejection. Is there anything more painful than seeing the person you like kissing someone else? It should have been me first! "Are you happy, senior?" she asked. Luo Xi was silent for a moment before softly saying, "Yeah." Teasing cats is one of lifes great delights, isnt it? Especially a cute tsundere cat-eared girl, turning her from prideful to just endearing is a beautiful thing indeed. Ai Xue nodded slightly. Yet, her nose suddenly felt sour, and she wanted to cry right then and there. "Senior, Ill go check on her." Ai Xue turned around, wanting to go downstairs. Luo Xi watched her retreat, her too-large clothes from not having adjusted to her smaller size falling slightly off her shoulder, revealing a stretch of pale skin. Her long casual pants also made walking difficult. He recalled some of the things that had happened over the past few years in college. Although he hadnt delved deeply, Ai Xue could be considered one of his few female friends, and he had definitely started to feel her affection for him during this time. Before, he thought of himself as a poor guy with no thoughts of a girlfriend, but now that he had money, his desires had Chapter 314 - 237: I was Obviously the First One Here?

You can hide your sexual inclination during the day, and at night, you can do those bustard things!] Crawl! Pressing her lips together and holding up her slipping trousers, Ai Xues moment before entering the stairwell was interrupted as a pair of hands suddenly reached from behind and wrapped around her slender waist. The girls body instantly stiffened, even though her strength, with her talents enhancement, was much stronger than Luo Xis, weakened by eighty percent, she felt totally powerless. "Se... Senior... what are you doing..." she asked. Sarch* The Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Luo Xi hugged Ai Xues petite body tightly and bent down to whisper in her ear: "Im really grateful that youve always liked me." Ai Xue immediately felt panicked. She didnt want such gratitude! What use was that? After this, according to the linguistic and traditional arts of Xia country, was the senior about to say but? "Please dont say it, Senior!" Ai Xue struggled to get away, then felt her elbow hit something hard, followed by a pained grunt from behind. "Im sorry" In her panic, she tried to check what happened, but the arms holding her tightened further. "You see, Im actually a very greedy person." A shiver ran through Ai Xue. Luo Xis voice continued without any sign that the elbow strike had affected him. "The thought that a beautiful girl likes me, even though Ive never agreed, sometimes I think to myself, look, Im popular too, and that thought occasionally becomes a momentary pleasure." Ai Xue murmured, "But Senior, you dont like me, do you?" "Who said that?" Luo Xi spoke earnestly, "A man who doesnt like a pretty girl like you is probably gay, right? If you want to hear me say I like you, then I can tell you now, I like you." [Note: Or he could be a Lolita lover, damn Traveler, dont exempt yourself!] Crawl! "Thats a cheap kind of liking," Ai Xue retorted, grabbing Luo Xis arm, bowing her head, and softly intoning, "Senior, you really are greedy." "Humph," Luo Xi laughed proudly, "Of course, now everyone says Im the strongest potential Dreamland Traveler in reality, its okay to be a bit greedy, isnt it?" [Note: Dividing myself into five isnt a big deal either~] "Whether its a big deal or not is not up to me to decide," Ai Xue said, prying open Luo Xis hands, turned her head back, and laughed energetically, "Senior, you playboy! Weier and I will both be watching you, so be careful in the future!" With that, the girl ran quickly downstairs, but the shadow of dejection disappeared, leaving only a sunrise-like vitality. Then, because her trousers were too long and tripped her, she slid right down half the staircase, creating a dent in the second-floor board. "Im fine, Senior, dont worry!" Ai Xue then awkwardly rubbed her head and ran to her room as if nothing had happened. Luo Xi: "..." This villa wont last much longer; it will probably need to be demolished and rebuilt soon. He sighed softly and lay back down on the straw mat, with his hands clasped behind his head, gazing up at the night sky. To his left and right, the warmth and lingering scent of two girls remained, making him feel as though he was still immersed in a dream. [Note: Garbage Traveler, youve successfully sweet-talked two innocent girls, feeling proud of yourself?] Proud? Not at all. Rather, there was a feeling of melancholic reflection. Luo Xi opened the text with his perspective. Firstly, Ill check on Ainas situation in the Dream world, then test the new features module updated with "Dawn." [Synchronizing with the Power of the Divine Tree...] [Traveler, welcome to the journey of dreams~] ... The young man on the high chair slowly opened his eyes. There was nobody on the large bed in front of him. Weiers original body was sleeping in the cradle. Where is Aina? "Brother Luo Xi, youve finally come back?" From behind, the soft voice of the Little Wolf Girl drifted over. With the perception of the Divine Tree activated, Luo Xi realized Aina was standing right behind him, holding the sharpened kitchen knife, its keen gleam flashing momentarily. Luo Xi: "(((;???;)))!" Hiss! Could it be that Aina knew about the things he had done in reality? Both Weier and Ai Xue were relatively mild-mannered, and they were quite tolerant of him, but if this Yandere-inclined Wolf Eared Lolita saw what he had done, her Yandere value would definitely spike! Is this another one of your Damn Texts doing? [Note: Dont slander me! Im getting angry now, and the consequences are severe! ()! Really!] However, the next moment brought the crisp sound of the kitchen knife falling to the ground; Aina ran to his front and buried her head in Luo Xis chest, staying there without raising her head for a long time. Luo Xi came to a realization, tenderly stroking Ainas hair, and said, "Sorry, I was late." It had been Weier and himself enjoying the other world, leaving Aina all alone here; it was indeed somewhat inexcusable. If the game didnt update, Luo Xi could still play the master of time management with his ability to multitask. But that was not an option. "Its not late, this is the agreed time." Aina slowly lifted her head, her cute little face showing a slight smile: "Brother Luo Xi, did sister have fun at your place?" "Yeah, your sister ate a lot." Luo Xi replied with a smile, "Her stomach was round and full, just like yours last time." "Aina told you that the food over at brothers place is really tasty~" The Little Wolf Girl hopped out of Luo Xis arms and looked toward Weier in the cradle, her tail raised in a smile, "No matter what, Aina is one step ahead of sister!" Luo Xi couldnt help but laugh. He planned to spend some time with Aina here first. On the reality side, Ai Xue and Weier were having a good time, and if he interjected, it might cause problems. Luo Xi opened the Dream Trading Platform. [Activate?] So I can take someone with a transformed Favorability with me, right? "Aina, come here for a second." The Little Wolf Girl asked puzzledly, "Whats up?" "Aina knows, you miss me touching your tail since I havent for half a day, dont you?" Aina turned around, bringing her tail closer with pleasure, "Go ahead, touch it~ Brother Luo Xi, really." Luo Xi: "..." In Ainas heart, what exactly had he become? And just how high was her Favorability toward him? [Ainas current Favorability toward you is: 370 (Affectionate Love)] [Description: The fondness that began in that moment has been unwavering ever since, and marriage is already a given. Besides Sister Weier, anyone who gets close to Brother has to be bitten fiercely! (Actually, I also really want to bite Sister, so I can monopolize Brother~)] Luo Xi was feeling damn numb. Just how did this Favorability get so high? It seemed limitless. Forget it, let it go. It was impossible to turn back anyway. Luo Xi embraced Aina, then snapped his fingers, and amidst the transit of golden light circles, they were transported together onto a soft bed. Having grown accustomed to the Power of Divine Tree for transportation, he indeed didnt feel like walking even a single step. Aina, confused for a moment, then realized she was on a bed. Could it be that Brother Luo Xi wanted to...? The Little Wolfs wet tea-golden eyes were panicked and at a loss due to the sudden situation, and with a blush, she said, "Brother... is there... enough time? Sister Weier isnt going to come back suddenly, is she?" Luo Xi: "Huh?" [Would you like to bring individual [Aina] into Dreamland with you?] [Yes] [Matching with other Travelers...] [Match successful, entering the Dream Trading Platform... please wait] Soon after, Luo Xis consciousness once again dove into the darkness, heading deeper into the dream from the Dream World. Chapter 315 - 238 Little Red Dragon Lolita Outfit Get (Skin~)_1 Chapter 315: Chapter 238 Little Red Dragon Lolita Outfit Get (Skin~)_1[Welcome to the Dream Trading Platform (This platform is provided by the Eternal World TreeGrey Dream, the current little square can accommodate up to 10 people, 8/10)] [Your Dream Platform Trading Level is: LV1] [LV1 Rights: Can take out a maximum of 3 items per day from the Dreamland Bag, all Travelers in the square are immune to damage, all abilities related to Yuan Su are sealed, under normal disguise, physical attributes are adjusted to human average level, maximum daily stay of 1 hour, Travelers can exit the platform at any time (cannot re-enter on the same day)] [Ding!

This was a place filled with various green trees as far as the eye could see, the trees rustling in the wind as if one was in an ocean of trees. In front of him was a peaceful lake with a wooden hut in the center of it, marked by an arrow with a countdown above it, now reading[59:10]. Is that where hes supposed to go? Luo Xi glanced to the right; to his right was someone completely shrouded in grey fog, but he could see through the fog to make out their true appearance. It was a bewildered-looking Aina. Luo Xi wanted to walk over, but Aina stepped back and asked in surprise, "Are you Brother Luo Xi?" Luo Xi: "I am... Huh?" ??? Why did the voice coming out of his mouth sound so young and cute? Luo Xi quickly turned around and saw his reflection in the water of the lake. Sarch* The n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. He appeared to be a red-haired girl about twelve or thirteen years old, with black tips at the end of her hair, a pair of golden vertical pupils exuding the majesty of dragonkind, and a pair of cute dragon horns on her head. Her delicate and adorable face could rival Weiers, and she also had a long dragon tail behind her. Luo Xi: "???" He poked at the Damn Text. [Note: The disguise process is ongoing, why would it turn out like this?] Damn it, he could guess with his toes who was behind this little trick. Change the disguise! [Disguise has been completed, the cooldown period for changing is 30 minutes] Damn Text, come out and take your beating! (**)?! [Note: I refuse to come out! Garbage Traveler, dont provoke me in the future, or I really might change you into "Brother Luo Xi became so cute!" Once Aina confirmed that the red-haired, dragon-horned girl before her was indeed Luo Xi, she immediately pounced and hugged Luo Xis waist. [Note: Now, the Traveler can really get up close with the Little Wolf Girl!] Luo Xi, somewhat headache-ridden, picked up Aina. Emmm... He was now only slightly taller than Aina. Luo Xi checked his current attributes. [Luo Xi (In Disguise)] [Level: LV1] [Current Disguise: Grey Fog, Black Abyss Flame Dragon (Exclusive)] [Disguise: Black Abyss Flame Dragon (Human Form) (Purple Color/Epic++)] [Strength: 200] [Physique: 200] [Intelligence: 100] [Agility: 100] [Description: All Variant players arriving on the Dream Platform constructed by Grey Dream can obtain a set of exclusive disguises based on the Mutant Factor within them] So this exclusive disguise isnt just his? [Note: Of course, garbage Traveler, do you think Id be so idle as to plug you with a little dragon lady disguise?] Damn Text, if youre not idle then who is! With things as they are, Luo Xi could only endure these thirty minutes. [Ding! Traveler, you have activated a free quest: Trade] [Brief: Complete a trade within the Dream Platform] [Reward: Increase in level rights to LV2] [Ding! Grey Dream sends you encouragement!] The Eternal World Tree, Grey Dream, yet another Divine Tree he hadnt heard of. It seemed there was no nation on the Pan Continent based around this tree. Was it on another continent? Previously, the tens of thousands of Dreamland Travelers had their origins in countries like Shining, Da Yan, Dawn; he wondered if now, with the player numbers increased tenfold, they would be placed on other continents. Luo Xi remembered something and asked, "Aina, can you see the attribute panel?" Aina also had a basic disguise, but he wasnt sure if she could see the attribute bar. Aina shook her head to indicate no. At the same time, her hands continuously moved to touch Luo Xi; the long dragon tail covered in red scales at Luo Xis back had particularly piqued Ainas interest. She had long been curious as to why Brother Luo Xi liked touching her and her sisters tails so much. Now that her brother had his own big tail, although it wasnt covered in soft fur, she wanted to touch it too! The Little Wolf Girl immediately hugged Luo Xis dragon tail and hung from it, even taking the opportunity to nibble it a couple of times. "..." Luo Xi could only start walking while dragging Aina along. [Note: Garbage Traveler, this is calledthose who pet others will themselves be petted] Hmph, enjoy your sneaky fun now, but wait until I blow up all your gold coins, Damn Text, Ill definitely turn you into this too, and youll be severely punished, you little Female Ghost! ()! As Luo Xi was pondering how to treat the Damn Text in the future, a voice rang out not far from him. "Little sister! Is this a disguise? Chapter 316 - 238 Little Red Dragon Lolita Outfit Get (Skin~)_2 Chapter 316: Chapter 238 Little Red Dragon Lolita Outfit Get (Skin~)_2A person with a frogs head ran over, his protruding eyes constantly moving around, looking at Luo Xi with full curiosity. Aina, standing behind Luo Xi, was startled and shrank back. Luo Xi casually said, "Yes." He didnt really want to talk to anyone right now. After speaking, Luo Xi didnt wait for the frog-headed man to reply and walked toward the small cabin at the center of the lake. The frog-headed man scratched his smooth, green-scalped head. Why did he run so fast? Could it be that my wise and valiant appearance frightened him? And why does everyone else get to be dressed cutely, while Im stuck with a frogs head? After Luo Xi entered the small wooden cabin in the middle of the lake, he found a round table with ten chairs, six of which were already occupied. Four were cloaked in Grey Mist. The other two were a large rooster and a dog-headed person, with the rooster standing on the table. "Cute!" The large rooster suddenly rushed over, trying to jump on Luo Xi, but Luo Xi swiftly slapped him away, causing the rooster to hang on the wall for a while before coming down. Luo Xi scratched his chin thoughtfully. Although one wouldnt die here, repelling effects were still in place, but what about control effects? The rest of the people looked at Luo Xi in shock. Variant players here all receive a set of initial exclusive outfits, which they knew from their discussions, but even the power of the outfits of the rooster and the dog-headed person was only slightly stronger than their Grey Mist outfits. As for the cute appearance of the Little Red Dragon Girl that Luo Xi had, at first glance, it either meant she looked like that in reality after taking off her outfit, or it was due to the effect of the outfit. Now it seemed to be the latter. And her Strength attribute must be incredibly high. Having such a high-quality outfit meant she was a very powerful player. At least her Mutant Factor tier was very high. Soon, some people figured it out, had a big shot randomly come to the trading square? Yet, there was a Grey Mist-faced person who snorted and said, "Just started playing this new module, and already brought an NPC in?" Luo Xi knew the person was referring to him. Without caring, he held Aina in his arms, found an empty chair to pull out and sit down, then proceeded to stroke the tail of the Little Wolf Girl. "Wu" Aina let out a soft cry. Brother Luo Xi must be looking to get back at her! From everyone elses perspective, it looked like a cute, but frost-faced Dragon Horn girl holding a girl shrouded in grey fog. Although there was nothing wrong with it, it still felt kind of odd. After a minute or two, the frog-head Luo Xi had met once before jogged in, looked around at the people in the cabin, and then sat down next to Luo Xi. "Little sister..." "Hmm?" Luo Xi gave the frog-head a cold glance. Sarch* The N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Right now, he really didnt want to talk using this body. The sense of incongruity was too great. Frog-head: "..." About two minutes later, two people in basic Grey Mist outfits came in and sat down in the remaining seats. Then, the door of the small cabin suddenly closed, and the lamp hanging inside was lit. [You can now begin trading (Eternal World Tree, with Grey Dream serving as the intermediary. Theres no need to worry about theft or robbery; everyone can trade freely!)] Whats the deal with this Grey Dream thing? It completely ruined the impressiveness of the Eternal World Tree in Luo Xis mind. "Cough" Someone coughed and said, "Seems like we can start for real now. Ive read on the forums that among the several new features updated, the most useful is this Dream Trading Platform. It randomly matches a certain number of Travelers to trade goods in a dream. The number of people ranges from 10 to 30 in one square, coming from all over, completely random." The dog-headed person nodded and said, "Exactly, the land area of the Pan Continent is a bit larger than our Eurasian Continent in reality, the population is too scattered. Even if a million people were spread out over the continent, they wouldnt make a splash. Players wanting to exchange items has been difficult, but this platform will allow us to interact a bit more after this update." "The only problem seems to be that you cant fix the trading partner and theres no add friend function, so its very unstable," someone said. The dog-headed person shook his head and said, "Since the first small internal test of Dawn, there has never been a friend feature." "Lets stop talking about that and start trading." The large rooster looked at Luo Xi across from him, lifted a claw, and suddenly a shield appeared on the table. Grey text immediately popped up. [Glory Shield] [Quality: Green (Excellent+++)] [Category: Shield Armor Weapon] [Attributes: Strength +10, capable of withstanding blows to the shield without exceeding its defense limit (up to a full-on attack by a Tier Four mid-level Transcendent), and can transform part of the absorbed Essence into Yuan Su for the user to absorb] [Additional Skill: Glory Shield] [Glory Shield: (Unlocked)] [Description: This is the last work of a craftsman master with exceptional skills, made from Mithril, a heralded rare shield just one step away from legendary quality] The large rooster said, "Top-notch Excellent shield, could sell for millions in real life, I dont need Essence Crystals or money, I want something called Earth Marrow, or other equivalent earth-category items to trade." Luo Xi glanced over briefly and then lost interest. All his power was currently allocated to attack; there was no need to shift to defense. Chapter 317 - 238 Little Red Dragon Lolita Outfit Get (Skin~)_3 Chapter 317: Chapter 238 Little Red Dragon Lolita Outfit Get (Skin~)_3After a while, someone came forth with a piece of earth-category material, and with the addition of many other items, they made a deal with Duke Chicken. Although it was clear the trade didnt meet his initial expectations, Duke Chicken was quite pleased and immediately indicated he was leaving, shouting something at Luo Xi like "Little Red Dragon Sister, catch a V" before logging out. "So, lets continue with the trade." ... Afterwards, Luo Xi didnt find anything particularly appealing, and while the others bartered amongst themselves, he didnt speak up to ask or compete for anything. Finally, when it was his turn, Luo Xi tossed out a dead Snowworm from his bag and said, "This is a worm modified by someone named Ande. I hope to get information about him, anything at all, and the price is 50 jin of Essence Crystals. He might have a talent or ability to modify living creatures." "Ande?" Everyone looked at each other in confusion for a moment, all indicating theyd never heard the name. Luo Xi wasnt surprised. He continued, "No problem, then may I inquire if any of you have information on Variants taking the path of Sublimation?" "Variants taking the path of Sublimation?" A frog-headed character said, utterly befuddled, "Arent those two parallel paths? Sublimation comes from the Divine Tree and Mutation from Origin Beasts, how could they possibly converge?" This should be basic knowledge in "Dawn." Although both Sublimation and Mutation are methods to reach Transcendence, they are largely incompatible pathways. Legends of Variant Sublimation are nothing more than tales from the Dream world. "Nothing." "Nothing." The other few also replied with a lack of knowledge. They curiously stared at the red-haired girl holding a Dream world NPC. What exactly is her background? While the questions she asked seemed rudimentary, to those with a bit of gaming knowledge, it was clear she genuinely sought answers. "Fine." Luo Xi nodded, realizing that these people, while not complete newbies, were probably just average players. Luo Xi then said, "I need a blue rare or higher quality longsword; does anyone have one? I can trade with a large amount of Essence Crystals or this staff." He pulled out the Dreamy Myst Staff from his Dreamland bag, which he hadnt used for a long time. Half of the purified Essence in the staff had already been depleted by Luo Xi, and its power had diminished significantly. However, it hadnt lost its tier, and, with some repairs from a Master Craftsman, it should regain its former strength. "No." "No." Luo Xi: "..." Never mind, he hadnt expected to acquire the perfect weapon in one go anyway. Seeing that the trading session had ended, the others also logged out, leaving Luo Xi and the frog-headed character alone in the small cabin. Squeak Luo Xi stood up and pushed open the door of the cabin. Outside was still the clear lake water and the endless forest sea. This Grey Dream provided a Dreamland space for trading and perhaps had other purposes, otherwise, there was no need to allow people to bring in others from the Dream world. "Arent you leaving?" Luo Xi glanced back at the frog head. The frog head came forward with a smile, trying to ingratiate himself, "Little girl, how old are you?" Little girl... Luo Xi gritted his teeth and replied, "Fourteen." Sar?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Note: Garbage Traveler playing young, arent you ashamed?] Its all your doing! The frog head said, "So youre about to enter high school." Luo Xi impatiently replied, "Spit it out if you have something to say." "Dont be hasty... That Dragon Tail looks really sturdy... um." The frog head wanted to touch Luo Xis tail but was smacked away by the attentive Aina. "Dont touch brother... sisters tail!" Luo Xi: "..." The frog head chuckled sheepishly, "Little girl, I actually have a blue rare+ sword, but you can see Im not a Skill Practioner. If you want to trade, I want a full set of Sublimation formulas and Omens from [Tier Zero] to [Third-tier] for any profession, preferably for a Skill Practioner. Do you have it?" Luo Xis brows furrowed slightly, her golden vertical pupils fixating on the frog head, "Are you sure these are equivalent?" ----- ----- There wasnt time to write a sidestory, so I made a simple skin change for the character, which will definitely not involve a true gender swap of the protagonist in the main story. P.S. The appearance of the Black Dragon factor as a Little Lolita implies somethingour protagonist has a thrifty Red Dragon Mother! Also, Fox is exhausted. After classes end at 9 PM, I have to study. My mind is already muddled, my eyes blurry from all the memorizing. If I happen to take a break one of these days, it cant be helped, but I will do my best to keep updating. Chapter 318 - 239: No need for a Dragon Lore Costume; Elf Feya_1 Chapter 318: Chapter 239: No need for a Dragon Lore Costume; Elf Feya_1After becoming the controller of the Divine Tree, Luo Xi already knew that the controllers didnt care about low-tier formula pathways, such as the Garden Skill Practitioner formula that Lena once showed them, or the low-tier Sublimation pathways that were common knowledge. However, from Third-tier onwards, that was when Transcendents began their qualitative change. For a Divine Tree, the number of people it could turn into Third-tier Transcendents and above was limited. A Divine Tree of Vita Villages caliber could support at most the village chief and three other people in becoming Third-tier Transcendents. Belgri could support one early Tier Four individual, other than the Lord, as well as ten Tier Three individuals. The Winter Divine Tree could support two Tier Four individuals, other than the City Owner, and many more Tier Three, but not excessively so. This was the upper limit set by the size of the Divine Tree. Of course, this was just an ideal state; in reality, it was very difficult for a town to make their Transcendents reach the Divine Trees support limit, because the amount of resources needed for Sublimation was significant. If a Divine Tree controller themselves wanted to advance further, they could only let the Divine Tree ascend, but ascending and advancing to the end of ones pathway were both difficult challenges. This was also why Hiss went astray and why Andrew became so mad. Perhaps if it were given by the Origin Canon of the Eternal World Tree, its pathway could potentially take someone directly to Sixth-order? Luo Xi suddenly thought of his own "OriginMoonflow" and "OriginVoid". The latter might be just a Fragment, but the former should be complete, right? Was there any Sublimation pathway it could offer him? [Note: Only a living Divine Tree can bestow the pathway of Sublimation. To obtain the "Years and Ebbing" pathway controlled by Moonflow, you must revive the Moonflow tree first ~ [For details refer to the personal mythical quest The Return of Moonflow]] [The Return of Moonflow task will automatically update when you, Traveler, reach a suitable town (next time try a town with veins of the Eternal Divine Tree) ] Luo Xi curled his lips. Well, one town wasnt sufficient; was he supposed to fleece all the branches of the Eternal Divine Tree? Seeing Luo Xi silent, the frog-headed one asked tentatively, "Young lady, do you have any thoughts? This is my sword, you can take a look first." The frog-headed one laid a silver-white longsword on the ground. Luo Xi glanced at it. sea??h th n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Snowy Silver Wolf [Quality: Blue (Rare+)] [Category: Standard Sword Weapon] [Attributes: Damage +100C1000 (damage bonus varies depending on the users Tier and the body part hit), your sword skill cutting speed and piercing speed +20%, all sword skill power +10%, wearing this increases your charisma +1 (hidden attribute)] [Additional Skills: Silver Wolf Chase, Snowy Sword Rain] [Silver Wolf Chase: When releasing a sword qi/sword light, it can unleash an additional Silver Wolf Chase sword light, with a base damage of 300, cooldown time 1 second] [Snowy Sword Rain: Fully activate the mithril in the sword, infusing Yuan Su to strike an area within a 10-meter radius with a sword rain attack (the power depends on the amount of Yuan Su infused)] [Description: A sword crafted from the spine bone of a High-tier Lord Origin BeastSnowy Silver Wolf by a Master Craftsman, it is a work he is particularly proud of] After looking at the details, Luo Xi found himself wanting it. He simply couldnt use green-quality weapons now. All of his skills added intense flames, and a sword of green quality would just melt within minutes, rendering it a one-time-use item. The shift from green to blue represented a qualitative change, and blue-quality weapons were very rare. Dont be fooled by the fact that the most basic power armor was blue C thats because power armor itself was top-notch gear, generally out of reach for most people. "This sword is pretty good." "So" The frog-headed one immediately looked over with anticipation. Luo Xi glanced at his text. True CanonBelgri [Pathways it can grant: Pact Skill Practitioner/Knight (Zero to Third-tier) (Eight Third-tier slots remaining)] Belgri still had eight Third-tier slots available. Giving one away was no big deal, and besides, if the individual who took the pathway Luo Xi offered came to his town, he would naturally exert a strong suppressive force on them, with no fear of backlash. The value of the Snowy Silver Wolf was probably over 3,000 jin of Essence Crystals, but compared to a Sublimation pathway and Omen leading directly to Third-tier from zero, it was not as valuable. Luo Xi said, "Okay, what else can you add?" "More, more! How about I add two hundred jin of Essence Crystals and a green top-quality weapon?" The frog-headed one quickly laid out the Essence Crystals and a green weapon. But Luo Xi only took the Essence Crystals and the Snowy Silver Wolf, leaving the weapon behind. Then Luo Xi inscribed the Sublimation pathway formula and Omen for Pact Skill Practitioner from Zero to Third-tier on a piece of parchment and handed it to him. A gray light flickered over the items from both parties, indicating the exchange of ownership. Even though he gave out the formula and Omen, only one person could become Tier Three following the Omen on the parchment. The rest who tried to follow the method outlined on the parchment could at most reach Second-tier. This was how Divine Tree controllers protected their own Sublimation pathways. It was precisely because of this that Necromancers like Delkus desperately sought methods to extend their lives, striving to reach Tier Four. With no other options available, they eventually resorted to dark Alchemy Skill methods like body snatching. "Thank you, young lady!" The frog-headed one wanted to kneel before Luo Xi immediately. Chapter 319 - 239: Dragon Luo’s outfit is useless, Elf Feya_2 Chapter 319: Chapter 239: Dragon Luos outfit is useless, Elf Feya_2The cold and indifferent red-haired little girl with dragon horns is truly a hidden big shot. I wonder what the real her looks like? "?" Trading is trading, why the sudden kneeling? After Luo Xis inquiry, Frog-head choked up with tears and said, "My girlfriend of eight years has contracted a terminal illness. Although she got lucky and became a player after the last testing, what I can give her is limited. Only by setting her on the path of Sublimation and reaching the Third-tier, where her lifes very essence changes, can she prolong her life." Luo Xi curiously asked, "Then why do you think I would have such a thing?" "I just feel that you do." Frog-head gave an awkward laugh and said, "From your every move, I felt that you might be a big shot, so you might have it, so I..." "I see, well, if fate allows, well meet again." Luo Xi waved his hand and picked up Aina. [Do you want to exit the Dream Trading Platform?] [Yes] [Note: Trash Traveler, youve finally transformed into a cute lolita dragon girl, and you just leave without enjoying it?] Whats there to enjoy. This outfit must be sealed away in the future. o(*RըQ)o! If I use it again, Im a dog, alright! ... Luo Xi opened his eyes on the bed. The soft bedding and the warm temperature of Aina in his arms made him realize he had returned. He immediately touched his bottom. Empty, no tail. Thank goodness, that outfit hadnt been brought out. Otherwise, if he also turned into that appearance in the Dream world, he could consider restarting. After all, changes involving the essence of life would synchronize with reality, meaning he would also become like that in reality. He definitely didnt want that! However, if the Mutation continued, would he too grow a dragon tail now? Just dealing with dragon horns was trouble enough. Luo Xi really didnt want to drag around a bunch of dragon characteristics, it drew too much attention. "Brother Luo Xi..." The little wolf girl in his arms called out tenderly. She blinked her long eyelashes, her moist eyes looking at Luo Xi, and asked in confusion, "Brother Luo Xi, have we come back from that place?" "Yes, were back, I just wanted to take you there for a look." Luo Xi got up from the bed, touched Ainas hair, and smiled, "Forget about what happened there." The cunning little wolf girl narrowed her eyes, smiling like a fox, "Aina wont forget that brother turned into a cute girl over there. Should I tell Weier sister~" Luo Xi: "...could you not mention it?" "That will depend on Brother Luo Xis performance." Aina playfully pushed against Luo Xis chest, then asked in confusion, "But why did brother turn into that appearance?" "emmm..." ... S~ea??h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Su City, First Peoples Hospital. In a single-person ward, Wen Huan excitedly exited the Dream Trading Platform. He looked at his girlfriend lying on the hospital bed and excitedly said, "Minqi, theres hope for you. Ive found you a complete pathway for Sublimation from zero to Third-tier. As long as you become a Third-tier sublimated person, even if youre in the late stages of cancer, you can survive it!" Nie Minqi struggled to open her eyes, looking at her boyfriend beside her, her pale face showing a mix of reproach and heartache. "Ive told you several times not to spend so much on me, its meaningless." She knew she was beyond saving. Even if she became a second-phase tester of "Dawn," it requires players to have their own will to choose the paths, and as a patient who often loses consciousness halfway through, her character might have already died upon waking up. The negative effects of all qualities dropping after death were fatal for her. "How would we know without trying?" Wen Huan firmly said, "Nowadays, most of the Third-tier Transcendents have emerged in the past few months. You have three months left, theres definitely still a chance!" "This is the Omen for the Skill Practitioner profession. You can check out whats needed for zero-tier, and Ill go prepare the materials for you tomorrow." Nie Minqi took the parchment that Wen Huan handed over. [Zero-tier Contract Skill Practitioner (This path originates from the Belgri Divine Tree)] [Main ingredient: a pair of eyes and the core of a Spirit Category Origin Beast (First-tier)] [Secondary ingredient: any soup medicine or item that can soothe the spirit] [Omen: Consume the Origin Beasts eyes and core together, then accompany it with soup medicine. Once you can see the line of the contract and successfully incorporate it, you can then ascend to the Zero-tier Contract Skill Practitioner] Wen Huan comforted her, "At least the materials from zero to Second-tier are relatively easy to get. Stepping on the Path Beyond the Mortal can at least prolong your life, so absolutely dont give up!" Nie Minqi nodded blankly. She knew how precious this thing was. Currently, most of the players who had become Third-tier were Mutated Transcenders; sublimated ones were rare, because this meant needing to join a citys power faction, making significant contributions in exchange for the Sublimation path formulas and Omens. "How did you get this..." Wen Huan smiled and said, "The stars are guiding me." [Talent: Guidance of the Stars (Zi/Epic) - You will occasionally receive guidance from the stars in your dreams (trigger times are random, depending on luck)] Last night while he was sleeping, this talent told him to take a blue rarity level sword or above into "Dawns" newly loaded Dream Trading Platform, and perhaps he could fulfill his wish. Chapter 320 - 239: No need for a Dragon Lore Costume; Elf Feya_3 Chapter 320: Chapter 239: No need for a Dragon Lore Costume; Elf Feya_3As it happened, thanks to another "Forge Masters" Blue talent, he became the apprentice of a wandering Master Craftsman and, after many pleas, obtained a sword of Blue-grade that his master had forged. He had only wanted to give it a try. He never expected to actually succeed. Oh stars, what should I do next? That night, Wen Huan dreamt again the stars guided him and his Master Craftsman to head south, to a place called Belgri Town. ... ... Night. In the center of the great mountain, the Divine Tree, about twelve meters tall, emitted a soft glow, blessing the people below. This Counterfeit God Tree could not provide a path to Sublimation, but most of those gathered here were Mutant Patients, and Variants had no need for a path to Sublimation. At this moment, after a busy day, people were gradually distributing food among themselves. Wrapped in a grey cloak, a frail fox-eared girl received four sweet potatoes from the food distribution shed, one of which had been half-eaten by a mouse. She showed no disgust, calmly placing the sweet potatoes into the small cloth bag she always carried with her. This would be her food for the entire day tomorrow. sea??h th n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The bearded uncle distributing the food, a Mutant Patient with a pair of antlers on his head, watched the fox-eared girl about to leave and said with a smile, "Feya, you can get up early tomorrow morning to work; that way, you can get an extra sweet potato." "Mhm, I know, Ill get up early." Feya nodded and turned to head towards the crude straw hut in the corner bathed in the protective dim light. The cramped straw hut was something she had paid someone half a silver coin to build when she arrived six months ago. "Wait a moment, Feya." The bearded uncle called out from behind, "Varden is a decent lad, strong of build and hardworking. Are you really not considering him?" Feya stopped in her tracks and shook her head, "I am still not even... fifteen years old. Im not considering such things." The bearded uncle chuckled, "You could start by getting to know each other. In another year, youll be of age." "Lets talk about it next year then." Feya replied calmly and returned to her broken-down straw hut. She sat on the bed, slightly pulled back her fine golden hair, revealing those pointed ears. Its time to move again. She always encountered such troubles, how bothersome. Even though she was in fact well over forty years old. Even as a Mutant Patient, an Elfs lifespan is still far longer than that of Humanity; to others, she appeared to be about fourteen years old. "Chirp chirpchirp chirp" The grey bird flew into the straw hut again, chirping beside her as if it wouldnt leave until the fox-eared girl agreed with it. Feya stroked the grey birds head and smiled, "Alright, alright, Ill definitely go with you tomorrow to see the strange thing you found. Lets go to sleep now, Im also tired after a days work." Late at night. In a wooden house of the village, people whispered quietly. "Ive got something to tell you. When we went hunting outside the day before yesterday, Feyas hood fell off while saving Frey. Although she quickly put it back on, I saw that Feyas ears were pointed!" "You mean Feya is an Old Elf Lord? Impossible. Isnt she a Mutant Patient just like us?" "Why is it impossible? Out of every hundred Elves infected by the factor, there are always one or two unlucky enough to become Variants. Those high and mighty Old Elf Lords and Ladies that turn into Variants are supposed to be executed by their own kind. But who wants to die?" "What are you planning to do?" "What else but tie her up and deliver her to the big city for a reward! We could get dozens of gold coins!" Chapter 321 - 240: The wretched demon, too perverted! How could he do such a thing _1 Chapter 321: Chapter 240: The wretched demon, too perverted! How could he do such a thing _1Weier stared at the countdown timer before her eyes. The time here had already passed midnight. Only 20 minutes were left until the moment she gained a body from the "nest." Somehow, she didnt really want to go back. Cats are naturally curious creatures. She was no different. To Weier, everything in this world held great novelty, and only Aina was the force urging her to return. She didnt feel like giving Aina the chance to come here next time~ Would Aina get mad if she did that? Weier suddenly thought of the scary expression Aina sometimes showed because of Luo Xi. Out of nowhere, Cat Cat shivered. No good. If she did that, she might get "cut"... she might be disliked by Aina! "Senior, Weier, the spicy crawfish are here!" Ai Xue entered from the door, carrying a big bowl of spicy crawfish. Following yesterdays attack incident, Luo Xis service level was bumped to the highest. As long as the requests werent excessive, theyd be fulfilled for him with top priority. "Whats spicy crawfish? It looks so strange... no, why are you getting smaller?!" Sar?h the ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Weier was stunned at the sight of Ai Xues appearance; if Ai Xue was previously around the same size as her after transforming, now she was even smaller than Aina. Luo Xi commented from the side, "Its twelve oclock now, shell come back after a period of time." "Pervert, dont talk!" Weier looked blankly at Ai Xue, then at that flat area, puzzled, "Why did you transform like this? Your original figure was so good?" Ai Xue set the crawfish on the table, opened a few pairs of disposable chopsticks and gloves, and smiled, "It was supposed to be uncomfortable, but as long as the senior likes it, its fine." Luo Xi whispered, "I didnt say I liked it though!" Ai Xue mumbled, "Just being stubborn." After all, he had already said those words to her. Weier looked over with a face full of suspicion. Her intuition told her these two might have had some interactions she didnt know about. Ai Xue didnt tell her anything; after all, despite their cooperation, they were actually competitors. Weier gazed at Ai Xues petite and exquisite figure and suddenly thought that to Luo Xi the pervert, this kind of physique that could change at will must be simply perfect, right? In the daytime, he could fondle freely, and at night, he could vent his indescribable desires on this body... [Ding! Weiers Anger Value towards you +40] Weier pointed at Luo Xis face, glaring angrily, "You... youre such a lech! Pervert! Fondling Hands! Can you really bear to touch her when shes so small?" Luo Xi: "???" Meow meow meow? What did I do? Ai Xue chuckled softly. What was this Little Cat Girl worrying about? If the senior had wanted to do something to her, he would have done it long ago, there was no need to wait until now. "Dont talk, eat the crawfish." Luo Xi casually peeled a crawfish and forcibly stuffed it into the girls mouth. "Spicy crawfish, time is running out, eat what you can." "Mmf, take it outIm going to bite you, okay?" Weiers mouth was suddenly stuffed with Luo Xis fingers. Originally, she wanted to struggle, even bite him, but the spicy and savory flavors instantly invigorated her spirit. Its another delicacy she hadnt tried before! After eating the crawfish Luo Xi gave her, she followed his peeling method and ate on her own. In less than twenty minutes, Cat Cat almost polished off the entire bowl of spicy crawfish by herself. Luo Xi and Ai Xue only had a few, then watched her until the end, making Weier feel somewhat embarrassed. As time drew closer, Weiers body gradually became translucent. Just like Aina that time at the amusement park. Luo Xi said softly, "See you on the other side." "Yeah." Weier responded and smiled at Ai Xue, "Next time, it will be my sister coming here. Before, you couldnt understand each others language, which might have caused some misunderstandings. I hope you can get along with her better next time." As soon as her words ended, Weier completely vanished from the sofa; her shorts, casual pants, white socks, underwear, and all, fell to the ground. [Note: Cat Cat has dropped her equipment! Garbage Traveler, go grab everything quickly!] Is grabbing really necessary? Luo Xi picked up the clothes still warm from Weiers body, which not only had the rich scent of barbecue but also a sweet floral fragrance lingering persistently. Ai Xue blinked and reminded, "Senior, you cant do strange things with those clothes, okay?" "Who would do that!" ... In the cradle, Weier slowly opened her eyes to the familiar scent nearby, Ainas scent. "Sister came back?" "Came back." Weier rose from the cradle, stretched languidly, lightly leaped out to jump onto the bed, then pounced on Aina who was reading a book, smiling, "Did Aina miss your sister?" Aina wrapped an arm around Weiers slender waist and laughed, "I did miss you a little." Weier teased, "Only a little? I dont believe it. Luo Xi and I werent here for ten hours, didnt Aina cry?" "Aina is no longer the little kid who cries over things like that!" The Little Wolf Girl nuzzled her forehead against her sisters chin discontentedly, then remembering earlier incidents, a triumphant smile appeared on her adorable face. "Sister Weier, you actually missed out by not being here this time. When Brother Luo Xi came by earlier, he introduced Aina to something really interesting." Chapter 322 - 240: The wretched demon, too perverted! How could he do such a thing _2 Chapter 322: Chapter 240: The wretched demon, too perverted! How could he do such a thing _2Weier: "?" Sar?h the ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. What an interesting thing. "Aina, we agreed not to talk about it!" Luo Xis anxious voice rose. Weier turned her head to look at the very flustered Luo Xi. What interesting thing had this guy shown to Aina? [Ding! Weiers confusion Value +88] "Well... its just that I took her to a place that only we otherworld Travelers can go to." Luo Xi feigned calmness as he explained, "If you want to go, I can take you too, but lets wait for daylight, its already very late." "Hmm..." Weier looked again at her sister, who was smiling lightly. And at Luo Xi, whose expression was clearly off. These two are also problematic! Woo, why do Luo Xi and her own sister both have secrets? Weier suddenly felt as though she was being left out. "You guys rest." Seeing that Aina didnt spill the beans, Luo Xis heart settled a bit as he snapped his fingers and moved out of the bedroom. The lights in Ulysses study were still on. "Lord." Upon seeing Luo Xi enter, he immediately tried to stand up and greet him. Luo Xi gestured for him not to get up, then asked, "How is the town doing? Have those Snowworms been dealt with?" "The juvenile Snowworms you ordered have all been collected and destroyed, and now only the one you gave me to raise remains." Ulysses lifted a basket from under the desk, inside which lay a plump white worm. [SnowwormDelkus] [Description: Hungry, wants to eat blood with special energy...] [Note: Perhaps, Traveler, you could try feeding it with your blood?] With my blood? Luo Xi recalled the Snowworms from before, which after devouring his blood, could grow scale-like things on their bodies and their cute appearance would become fierce. Feeding blood to this worm with memories of a Necromancy Skill Practioner, would it cause some other kind of change? If it were someone elses suggestion, Luo Xi might worry about being tricked, but the Damn Texts suggestion was worth a try. He cut his finger and dripped some blood onto the Snowworm. However, no immediate change occurred. So, he decided to wait. Luo Xi looked at Ulysses and continued to inquire, "What else?" Ulysses took out a notebook and said, "As per your instructions, Ive assembled a team with management abilities to plan for the future of the town. First of all, after the complete abolition of the time currency system, many people were left with not a penny, and the towns economy completely collapsed, so I think we cant just take back all the time currency at once but should buy it back proportionally..." Luo Xi listened half-heartedly to Ulysses rambling on. In the end, Luo Xi patted him on the shoulder and said seriously, "Go ahead and do it, I trust you." "Yes, Lord!" [Ding! Ulysses admiration Value +50] Luo Xi left the study. There are specialists for everything, just leave such matters to the professionals. If all else fails, as the Lord, Luo Xi could forcibly transform the town into whatever he wanted. But that would be too much trouble. After all, Luo Xi couldnt possibly stay in this town forever. He had yet to see the Da Yan Empire, which was warm like spring all year round. [Pan-continental Calendar 3970, December 10th, Snow] [I finally went over there today, but I didnt expect to actually turn into a cat, and it took me a long time to find that guy. That freak even keeps a cute girl, who isnt just large, but can even change her size at will, as they say, commandable and cute? Luo Xi must be living with her for that reason! But I also made a pact with her to keep a close eye on Luo Xi from now on... Aina seems to share some tacit secret with Luo Xi, something I really want to know! It was something about going to see a bed..... Well, let him have the bed, after all, theyve been kissed... (crossed out)] ... /// Early morning. Feya rose from the worn-out bedding, let her hair out of the hood, and her cherry lips silently parted. A green gleam flickered briefly over her light golden hair, erasing days of uncleaned grease in an instant. Of course, elf spells could only clean off grease. Dust and such still required washing with water. But during her ten years of wandering life, shed gotten used to cleaning herself about once a week, which would seem unthinkable to those noble elves. The long lifespans of elves accustomed to luxury and comfort were such that not bathing once a day made their bodies react. Feya tucked her ears under her hair and got dressed up, her emerald eyes turning grey. However, when she stepped out of the thatch hut, she noticed something was off in the atmosphere of the village. The way some villagers looked at her seemed abnormal. That was the feeling of encountering treasure. She had seen such situations before. Had she been exposed? When? Feya recalled her actions over the past few days, and quickly found the answer. Was it that time when she had to save someone during a hunting trip with them, and her hood fell, revealing herself? She had not expected to have to leave after only three months. Typically, Mutant Patients were not worth mentioning, but Mutant Patients among the Elf species were very rare. Ordinary humans, once infected by the Mutant Factor, would almost certainly become Variants unless they could undergo Sublimation immediately. However, an Elf infected by the Mutant Factor had only a 1% chance of becoming a Variant, even if they did not achieve Transcendence. This was the essential difference between races when it came to the nature of life. Therefore, the Elf race considered it a disgrace for a Variant to appear among them. An Elf that became a Variant, to some extent, had a lower status even than a human Variant. "Chirp chirp" A gray bird landed on the girls head and chirped twice. "Alright, alright," Feya said softly as she picked up the bird, "Im planning to leave here today. I might as well go with you to see that strange thing you mentioned." "Chirp chirp!" "Feya, come to the fields after youve had breakfast!" someone outside called her. "Okay." Feya called back. She returned to her hut as if nothing were amiss, picking up her few belongings. When she emerged from the hut again, a young girl with a pair of small deer antlers looked up at her with large, watery eyes, handing her a steamed sweet potato and said in a babyish voice, "Sister Feya, this is from Dad." Feya took the sweet potato and then ruffled the girls hair. "Thank you," she said. "Sister Feya." The girl with antlers suddenly spoke softly, "You are about to leave the village. Last night Little Lin went to relieve herself and overheard Kishu and Mr. Xiuyite talking about something bad concerning you." Feya whispered, "No, that cant be. Mr. Kishu and the others are all very nice." "No, its not like that," insisted Little Lin anxiously. "They said they were going to hand you over to the people from the City of Yuye" A hand covered the girls mouth gently. "Thank you," Feya said. Even if this world was overwhelmingly cold to someone like her, There were still those who allowed her to feel the presence of warmth. ... "This is bad! Feyas gone missing!" "Missing?" In the village square, after the call to gather, people quickly filled the area. Bearded and alongside the village chief, they glared angrily at two people tied to a tree. "Kishu, Xiuyite, what have you done?!" The two men cowered, silent with fear. "Where are Aos and Bas?" Under persistent questioning, the two finally spilled their thoughts. The color drained from the village chiefs face. "This is terrible, Feya has already left. If they bring people from the City of Yuye and cant find the person theyre looking for, it will be a disaster for our village!" "How long have they been gone?" "They left at first light! Theyve been gone for two and a half hours now!" "Damn it, we need to bring them back quickly!" .... Feya followed Grey Grey as they weaved through the dense forest for quite a while. What was that...? It was a brown flower-shaped thing growing at the bottom of a cliff, with a large mouth of closed serrated teeth. As one approached, the teeth would retract to the sides, revealing a dark void in the middle. Hollow Flower? But werent all the Hollow Flowers they had seen before fossilized? Why was there a seemingly living Hollow Flower here? Grey Grey couldnt wait any longer and plunged into it. Feya couldnt stop him even if she tried. "Grey Grey!" Seeing this, she had no choice but to follow. As she took a step into the flower, the deep blackness within swallowed her up in an instant. Chapter 323 - 241: Isn’t it Enough to Have Two Young Wives?_1 Chapter 323: Chapter 241: Isnt it Enough to Have Two Young Wives?_1[Shock! The current strongest Dreamland Traveler in our country is such a moral role model!] [Black Death GodLuo Xi: A Lifes Tale, detailing 108 good deeds he has done, both big and small.] [Dear new Travelers, please do not believe the lies from outsiders, Mr. Luo Xi is a person with solid values, who would never commit those illegal and dirty acts! All he likes are petite and cute adult girls.] "What a load of nonsense this is!" Luo Xi slammed his phone down onto the bed with a thud. Today, nearly all gamers forums in Xia country were buzzing with news about him. Of course, not like before, slandering him as a degenerate who stooped to coercion, forcing young girls into unspeakable acts, but rather, they were praising his nobility and greatness. It was fine to praise him, but it was so cringeworthy to read! What kind of public relations is this, not professional at all! "Senior, calm down, calm down." Ai Xue patted Luo Xis back, covering her mouth to stifle her urge to laugh, "At least that weird nickname of yours has been corrected, hasnt it?" Luo Xi: "..." That was just corrected in Xia country, after all. Once the number of "Dawn" players increases, no effort in guiding public opinion would work because the sheer number of players from other countries will undoubtedly far exceed those in Xia country. Isnt this just fooling oneself? [Note: Trash Traveler, its okay, just openly admit it, since as a strong individual, having a whole harem of cute girls is quite normal, isnt it?] Damn Text, your idea is excellent, make sure not to have any more next time. Luo Xi put aside the concerns about his reputation. The current situation was likely the work of the Travel Agency. Since they wanted to turn him into a moral benchmark for Xia country players, let them have their way. After all, it could not get any worse than it was now. Luo Xi turned to Ai Xue and asked, "Ai Xue, how are things on your end?" "My situation..." Ai Xues expression stiffened slightly, then she shook her head, "Im temporarily stuck making my way out of the city, but dont worry, Senior, it wont be long before I can leave the City of Silence and join up with you all." What situations had Ai Xue encountered on her side? However, Luo Xi didnt pay too much attention to it. After all, that was Ai Xues starting village, and if he intervened to solve it, Ai Xue would lose an opportunity to grow. "Senior, what about you guys?" Ai Xue asked, "I heard from Weier that you got your hands on a town, so are you planning to go elsewhere next?" "Yes." Luo Xi nodded. Having gained a small town, they still needed to go check out other places. [Ding! Traveler, the Belgri Divine Tree has detected an unmarked person entering the Blessing zone.] [Would you like to go check it out?] "?" .... Feya felt herself fall into a lightless corridor filled with a viscous fluid. She moved swiftly through this corridor, and although she was completely blind, she could feel herself moving at an unimaginable speed. After an unknown period, Feya suddenly saw a flash of light, and her body was lifted into the air, crashing heavily against a series of tough objects. Thumpcrack! She rebounded onto the ground, rolling several times before stopping in slightly damp soil. "Ptooey!" Feya spat out the grass mixed with the earthy taste and then rubbed her head, which was in pain. She pulled down the hood with fox ears and let the grey that concealed her eyes fade away, revealing their true color a pair of emerald green eyes taking in her surroundings. This place was an enclosed space surrounded by wooden barriers, with the top covered by green leaves. Similar to the Hollow Flower she had entered before, there was an identical Hollow Flower at the center of this space. Was this a trap? Where was Greygrey? "Chirp chirp" The grey bird landed on Feyas shoulder, flapping its wings. Feya felt relieved to see the grey bird was alright and whispered, "The Hollow Flower that had withered before the start of the Pan-continental Calendar has revived, and after passing through it, I was led to this place. Greygrey, is this what you wanted to tell me?" "Chirp chirp!" Greygrey pecked the fox-eared girls face to confirm. Feya flicked the birds head gently with her finger, scolding, "We dont know the situation here yet, and you dared to enter recklessly. What if this is a trap? You made it back last time, but that doesnt mean you will this time. If someone was lying in wait, wed be done for." "Chirp!" Greygrey suddenly let out a sharp cry, his feathers flaring out towards the front. Feyas expression also hardened, her fox ears perking up stealthily, as her long golden hair fluttered without wind, and her emerald eyes focused on the wooden barrier in front of her. A figure appeared on the outside. Sar?h the n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. And it appeared abruptly, without any warning. She slowly backed towards the Hollow Flower. If she could come in, it meant she could also leave. Suddenly, the wooden barriers around her started to sink, slowly crumbling into pieces. Feya saw a young man outside with his hands in his pockets, curiously looking at her. Was he human? No, not just human. On the young mans head, the black and red dragon horns were conspicuous, indicating he was a Mutant Patient. And where exactly was this place? Feya could see the golden radiance in the sky above. Chapter 324 - 241: Isn’t it Enough to Have Two Young Wives?_2 Chapter 324: Chapter 241: Isnt it Enough to Have Two Young Wives?_2The Blessing Glory of the Divine Tree. Is this the inside of some town? "Hello there." The young man waved at her and revealed a warm smile. Pointing at the Hollow Flower, he said, "Did you come from the other side of the Hollow Flower?" A thought stirred in Feyas heart. Could the revival of this Hollow Flower have been his doing? Instinctively, many ideas popped up in her mind, but when it came to Luo Xis question, Feya simply shook her head. Years of wandering had taught her to be habitually cautious in the face of strangers. Many people who approached her did so coveting her appearance, intending to abduct and sell her. After all, even if she set aside her hidden Elf identity and deliberately neglected her looks, it was still difficult to mask her inherent temperament. After all, she was an Elf, full of vitality. However, even in the most dangerous moments, she had always managed to escape for various reasons. For some reason, she indeed felt that something called luck was at play in her life. Luo Xi looked curiously at the girl before him. Her height was similar to Weiers, maybe a bit shorter. The girls body was wrapped in a gray hood, and she had beast ears similar to the wolf ears of Aina, except her hair and ears were a pale golden color. A tail that hung from behind the worn gray hood was larger than Ainas, and its fur was also a light gold, fading to a pale white at the tip. Her eyes were as beautiful as emeralds, her eyebrows softly lined, and her delicate and pale face added a sense of fragility to the girl. It was clear she must be soft to the touch. However, at the moment, the girl looked at him with extremely wary eyes, as if he were some unforgivable villain. Why isnt she talking? Is it because shes scared? [Note: This is just a Little Lolitas reaction to a Weird Uncle~] Whos the Weird Uncle! As Luo Xi saw the beast-eared girl getting closer to the Hollow Flower, he realized that she probably wanted to leave. The girl suddenly lunged at the Hollow Flower. "Wait! That thing needs to cool down..." Before Luo Xi could finish his sentence, a dull thud and a muffled groan were heard. The beast-eared girl, holding her head, squatted outside the Hollow Flower and whimpered, tears welling in her eyes. The gray bird on her shoulder spread its wings and threatened him. The jagged edges of the Hollow Flower, which were supposed to retract as someone approached, remained tightly closed and seamless. Luo Xi: "..." Didnt she realize that the Hollow Flower hadnt opened? Luo Xi stepped forward, arriving next to the Hollow Flower, and said softly, "This thing has a cooldown time. After each use, it must be at least six hours before it can be used again." [Ding!

A crisp voice emitted from the red lips of the fox-eared girl. Sear?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Feya got up and stepped back repeatedly, looking at Luo Xi as tense as if she had seen a pervert, and blurted out the question. For some reason, she suddenly felt that the young man before her looked slightly more pleasing to the eye. But she was supposed to be on guard only. The only answer was that this man was influencing her mind! What did he want to do to her? Luo Xi was slightly startled, "What have I done?" "You still want to argue?" The beast-eared girl glared at Luo Xi with an angry face. She took the gray bird off her shoulder and held it in her arms before suddenly tossing the long gray hood she had wrapped around herself high into the air. As Luo Xi looked up reflexively, the fox-eared girl took off like a shot and disappeared, darting into the nearby residential alleys. Luo Xi: "..." I really just wanted to ask about the situation on the other side of the flower! The beast-eared girl looked at me as if she had seen a ghost. Am I really that scary? [Note: If you run too slow, youll get pregnant. Sadly, having entered the Weird Uncle Travelers den, thats pretty much a done deal now~] Goddamn it, running slow gets you pregnant, I dont have the Pregnant Glare skill! Feya cautiously started to explore this unknown town. From various indications, it seemed that not long ago, the town had experienced a significant disturbance. So much so that many areas were still being rebuilt. Surprisingly, the number of Variants here was no less than that of ordinary humans, almost a one-to-one ratio. In fact, the numbers werent really the issue, but the fact that Variants and ordinary humans could get along so well together was quite preposterous. Feya saw several Variants building houses alongside humans, talking and laughing with each other, without the humans displaying any sense of superiority. How is that possible? Feya wondered if she was still half-asleep. So, she asked a passerby: "Why do Variants and pure-blood humans get along so well here? And why is there so much construction?" "Are you new here?" The passerby, a youth with horse ears, scratched the back of his head and chuckled: "To be honest, Im not very clear myself, but its probably because the former Lord was just awful, treating Variants and ordinary people like slaves, and that united everyone against a common enemy." "The day before yesterday, the old Lord went crazy, turned into a monster, and then somehow he was gone. These past two days, all sorts of policies that I dont understand were implemented consecutively, turning this place into what it is now. I heard Mr. Ulysses say, the new Lord wants to create a new Belgri Town where everyone is equal. Its quite inspiring to hear." Feya: "???" She was baffled. She couldnt shake the feeling that this guy was making fun of her. "Youve come at just the right time, little sister." The horse-eared youth sighed again: "Some time ago, I met a like-minded brother who was traveling with his two young wives. I was the one who persuaded him to stay in this town. After what happened the day before yesterday, I havent been able to find him. Perhaps he is already dead. I shouldnt have convinced him to stay." Feya nodded and said softly, "Condolences." "Condolences? Whose sorrow are you mourning?" A voice suddenly sounded beside the two of them. Luo Xi walked out, with a strange expression as he looked at Kyro. This damn guy is cursing him to die. "Mr. Luo Xi, youre not dead!" Kyro immediately became excited and gave Luo Xi a hug. Luo Xi, with a stiff face, pushed the guy away. He hadnt taken a bath in days, and he stank. Feya stared intently at Luo Xi. She no longer tried to run. Because she knew she couldnt leave anymore. Feya clearly saw that the young man emerged from a golden circle, a sign of the Divine Trees teleportation power. It was a skill exclusive to the wielder of the Divine Tree. This young man was the wielder of the Divine Tree? Impossible! A Mutant patient could never become the wielder of the Divine Tree! Yet even if he wasnt, there had to be a wielder of the Divine Tree behind him. Luo Xi looked at the fox-eared girl and said warmly, "My name is Luo Xi, welcome to Belgri Town. Can you talk with me for a bit?" Feya was silent for a moment, then nodded, looking like a little Lolita oppressed by a weird uncle. "Then lets go." Luo Xi started walking ahead. Feya followed with stiff steps. The bird named Grey pecked at her face, its eyes full of guilt, realizing that its actions had brought great danger to its master. Then Kyro caught up and asked with confusion, "Mr. Luo Xi, do you know this young lady? Also, dont you already have two young wives? Are they not enough for you?" Luo Xi: "..."- Feya: "?" [Ding! Feyas Shock Value +88] Chapter 325 - 242: The Scent of a Woman! Aina’s Weak Knife_1 Chapter 325: Chapter 242: The Scent of a Woman! Ainas Weak Knife_1"Kyro." Luo Xi turned around, placed his hand on Kyros shoulder, and smiled, "What do you mean by young little wife? Dont say things that can cause misunderstandings!" "But... " Kyro wanted to say that the wolf-eared girl did call herself your wife, but suddenly he felt a chill creeping up from the soles of his feet, making him shiver deeply and lower his head. "Hmm?" Kyro touched his thick cotton clothes, puzzled. Why would a chill suddenly rise like that? When he looked up again, Luo Xi and the fox-eared girl had disappeared. Original Andrew Estate. Inside the Lords study, when Luo Xi brought Feya through a ring of golden circles, Feyas expression became deeply puzzled. Contrary to what she had thought, the power to teleport of the Divine Tree seemed to be controlled by this youth. So, he is indeed the controller of the Divine Tree of this town? But how could that be? All the Divine Trees that have a True Canon, even the smallest ones at 30 meters, are part of the Eternal World Trees root network, to some extent, a part of the Eternal World Tree itself. One cannot simply kill a villages lord and gain the position of the Divine Tree controller. Even if the True Canon is destroyed, it wouldnt allow a Variant to become the controller. It requires the approval of the Eternal World Tree, and the power is inherited based on the closeness of blood relations. sea??h th novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. There has never been a case where Mutant Patients received the approval of the Eternal World Tree. But what was she seeing now? Feya felt her common sense was being shattered. Luo Xi sat on a stool in the study, pointed to the stool opposite him, and said with a light laugh, "Miss Feya, please sit." Feya bit her thin lips, holding the grey bird tightly in her arms as she sat down uneasily. Her emerald eyes stared intently at Luo Xi and said, "What do you want to do to me?" [Note: The first step of abduction is complete, now its time to check how well this worthless Traveler has developed~(*`) ] Luo Xi promptly dragged the Damn Text to the side. He said gently, "I just want to ask Miss Feya a few questions, such as where you come from?" "Im just a wanderer from the Emerald Forest." Feyas gaze dropped as she slowly said, "Its no use capturing me, and if you want to do something to me, it might lead to a significant disaster. This is not a lie. Since youre the Divine Tree controller of this town, you surely dont lack women by your side, and my barren body is of no interest to someone like you. Can you let me go? Once I return, I promise never to step foot near the Hollow Flower again and I wont reveal any information about this place." [Note: Foolish little fox, do you think the lousy Traveler would talk to you so amiably if you werent a Lolita? Hed have taken you to a construction site for a miserably dusty job! ] Shut up! What does body type have to do with anything! Luo Xi was actually somewhat puzzled himself. Why did this fox-eared lady keep thinking he wanted to do something to her? Couldnt it just be a normal and decent interaction? Luo Xi said, "Dont worry, Im not interested in you." [Note: Thats a lie! This is a fox-eared Lolita with a tail even larger than the Little Wolf Girls!] Luo Xi gently snapped his fingers. Countless golden lights converged on the table in front of Feya, and eventually, formed a piece of yellow parchment. Luo Xi said, "This is a contract I offer you. As long as you can answer my questions, then I, in my capacity as Lord, guarantee your safety here." Feya picked up the document from the table. [Contract] [I, Luo Xi, as Lord of Belgri Town, do hereby promise Miss Feya that should she provide any information she can disclose, I shall protect her safety here. In case of breach, I shall die on the spot (crossed out) [I shall never "pet" cute animal-eared Little Lolitas again [Signatory: Luo Xi] [Pending signatory: ] Feya: "???" She looked bewilderedly at the youth sitting across from her. Was it her who was off, or was it the person on the other side? Actually, she didnt think he needed to make all this fuss with her. Considering the size of the towns Divine Tree, it should be able to provide Tier Four strength to its controller. Forcing her into compliance would be easy but why was this guy acting so strangely? Feya picked up the pen on the table. She suspected there might be some trap within this contract. However, when her pen touched the parchment, it seemed as if some will was telling her that the contract was genuine. It was safe to sign. So she signed her name on the parchment. But while she intended to write only Feya, her pen moved on its own and she wrote, [Pending signatory: IlisafiaSnow VeinJade] She had accidentally written her true name! Feya panicked and tried to erase the name but found it couldnt be removed. She immediately realized that the contract was a manifestation of the Divine Tree Power. Even the Divine Tree controller himself could not break the contract. "Is it signed?" Luo Xi nonchalantly grabbed the contract into his hands. Chapter 326 - 242: The Scent of a Woman! Aina’s Weak Knife_2 Chapter 326: Chapter 242: The Scent of a Woman! Ainas Weak Knife_2He briefly glanced at the girls name. Ilisafia, huh? Its actually quite nice sounding. "Hm?" Luo Xi rubbed his eyes, looking at the text of the contract with some confusion. Am I seeing things or what? Did I actually add this line "I shall never control the adorable beast-eared little Lolita"? [Note: Damn Traveler, your memory really is getting worse and Go to hell, Damn Text! You changed it secretly, didnt you? (#`)?! The Damn Text had been able to forcibly alter the contract content signed with the Belgri Divine Tree back then, spreading like a virus, and now the Belgri Tree was on their side; changing text content for the Damn Text would be all too simple. Feya saw the exasperation on Luo Xis face and was somewhat puzzled. Wasnt this strange content of the contract written by yourself? Why do you look so dissatisfied? "Sigh." Luo Xi sighed softly. He put away the contract. Actually, the punishment for breaking the contract didnt really matter; he had no plans to do anything to this fox-eared lady anyway. After all, there was a tsundere little wolf girl at home, and playing with Cat Cat was enough for most times, as Aina was quite tolerant, given she was a cute little sister. But based on those few past experiences, if Aina saw him getting entangled with another girl, Luo Xi was quite sure he would risk being hacked to pieces at any moment. Luo Xi said, "The contract is signed now, you should be able to feel that Im not lying. I just want to know about the information pertaining to Hollow Flower." Actually, if it hadnt been for the Damn Texts provocation at the beginning, he wouldnt have been so eager to obtain information from this fox-eared lady. Elves. A race different from humans. Feyas appearance actually fit his conception of an elf quite wellgolden, flowing long hair and emerald-like eyes, along with an aura of nobility. If she didnt have the fox ears and tail, anyone would realize at first glance that she must be someone unusual, like a princess. "Yes." Feya nodded gently: "Before I answer your question, I want to ask you something. Are you really the controller of the towns Divine Tree?" "Indeed." Luo Xi replied. "As a Mutant patient, how did you become the controller of the Divine Tree?" "By a stroke of luck." Feya: "..." She thought that if becoming the controller of a Divine Tree as a Variant were simply a matter of chance, then there wouldnt be so many Variants who spend their entire lives unable to enter the big cities of this world. "Now its my turn to ask," Luo Xi picked up the tea, took a sip, and asked, "Where are you from?" "Ive already told you," Feya spoke softly: "I am nothing more than a wanderer from the Emerald Forest." "The Emerald Forest?" "Its also known as the Grand Emerald Forest, an area covered by the roots of the Eternal Divine Tree." "Youve really come a long way," Luo Xi couldnt help feeling a bit wistful. Belgri Town was about two thousand kilometers from the edge of the Confused Mountain Range, which meant that Hollow Flower had to have traveled at least two to three thousand kilometersa distance faster than any means of transportation known. Feya asked in a low voice, "Where is this place?" Luo Xi replied, "This is the eastern side of the Confused Mountain Range, the territory of the Shining Country." "The Shining Country?" Feyas beautiful emerald green eyes blinked in astonishment. So that meant she had already left the range of the Emerald Forest? Since the start of the Pan-continental Calendar, no one had been able to cross to the other side of the Confused Mountain Range, and the oceans had been encroached by ominous creatures, practically cutting off the Emerald Forest from the four countries on the eastern side of the Pan Continent. Even monarch-level powerhouses find it difficult to cross the Confused Mountain Range, with its peaks rising over ten thousand meters. At that altitude, even monarch-level powerhouses might accidentally get permanently trapped there. "Miss Feya, are you from the elf race?" Luo Xi asked again. Feya paused slightly. She didnt really want to admit her true identity. But perhaps the other party had already figured it out. "Yes." Feya nodded, pulled back some of her light golden hair to reveal her pointed, elongated ears. While Luo Xi was curious about the feel of those elf ears, he hadnt even touched the fluffy fox ears or tail, let alone these. "How did you discover the Hollow Flower?" "It was my friend Huihui who found it," Feya replied. She lifted up the little gray bird in her hands. The bird lay in the palm of her hand with its eyes closed, motionless. Ever since entering the Lords study, the little bird had played dead in Feyas embrace. "Has anyone else discovered it?" "Not yet, I believe." "Are there many elves in the Emerald Country? Hmm... Are there any humans there?" After a moment of thought, Feya shook her head, "Aside from Emerald City, there arent many elves outside. The total number... I dont know if its five million. As for humans, nearly one hundred and twenty million are in the entire Emerald Forest." Over a hundred million in population. Twice as many as the sixty million in the Shining Country. "What makes the elves special compared to humans?" "Lifespan, as well as affinity for Yuan Su." Feya shook her head, "But Im no longer one of the elves." "Is it because of..." Luo Xi looked towards the fox ears on Feyas head. "Thats right, the Mutant Factor has eroded my bloodline." Feya looked up with a calm expression, "Emerald City executes any elves with Mutation on sight, because they believe that elves contaminated with Origin Beasts factor are unworthy of being called elves. So, since leaving home, I have always been wandering outside." The two of them continued this question-and-answer exchange. Luo Xi was also very satisfied with having asked all the questions he wanted. Although Feya did not tell him much of importance, she at least informed him that the area opposite the Hollow Flower was temporarily safe, and pointed out its approximate location on the map. "Um..." Luo Xi asked curiously, "May I ask how old Miss Feya is now?" [Ding! Feyas favorability towards you -1] "Fifteen." [Note: This is a lie!] ... In the manors flower garden. Aina and Weier were planting flowers and plants suitable for winter together. Finding it rather boring to stay in the bedroom, they decided to stroll around the manor; after all, it was now Luo Xis territory, and they could go anywhere without any issues. Aina finished planting a flower, patted the soil down, and asked softly, "Weier sister, when will brother continue our journey?" "Who knows." Weier crouched on the ground, her cat tail extending in front of her. She absentmindedly stroked her own tail and said, "The decision is in that guys hands." Aina frowned slightly with a smile, "Weier sister, you dont want to settle down here with brother and not leave, do you?" Cat Cats face suddenly reddened. "As if that could happen!" "But Aina saw in that dream sister saying she wanted to..." "Ah ah ah ah ahh!" Sear?h the N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Weier covered her ears with a loud shout. She did not want to admit such a thing! Although in that world she had already done such... stuff with that pervert. Well, it was just two kisses anyway! "Eh-hehe~ Sister, you really are not straightforward, huh~" Aina patted her sisters head. Sister was the same as before. But that was okay, if sister wasnt up to it, then Aina would... "Hm?" Aina suddenly furrowed her brow. She looked towards a certain area of the manor. There seemed to be a scent in the manor that she had never smelt before. The scent was pleasant. Was it a girl? Aina knew that with Luo Xis current abilities, he could easily bring someone into the manor without being noticed. But werent Aina and her sister enough? Ainas face darkened. She pulled out a shiny kitchen knife from beneath her dress, gave it a twist, and the knife emitted a clear hum. When Weier looked up and saw her sisters expression, her body trembled subconsciously. Why did she find Aina so frightening (n)... Chapter 327 - 243: Three Beast-Eared Lolitas Together, Awesome!_1 Chapter 327: Chapter 243: Three Beast-Eared Lolitas Together, Awesome!_1Feya thought that hiding her age was quite normal in Luo Xis eyes. Except for the blossom of girls who happened to be in the prime of their life, no woman would willingly tell someone else her true age. Not to mention elves that belonged to the species of longevity. Feya mentioned that the oldest elf she knew was over three thousand years old. To think that in this world, there might be a super granny who was over three thousand years old but still looked like an 18-year-old girl... Hiss! It was horrifying. Luo Xi was aware that even the powerful Transcendents among humanity wouldnt live over a thousand years despite having the strength of a Tier Five sublimated person. After all, the maximum lifespan of a human was around a hundred years; under the framework of the Human Clan, no matter how much ones life sublimated, ten times was already the limit. Luo Xi took a good look at the fox-eared girls youthful and beautiful face. Beneath that youthful visage, the temperament Feya faintly revealed was something both Weier and Aina lacked. It was a weary and exhausted feeling, like that of a Traveler who had experienced much, traveled far, and had become indifferent to life. Seeing Luo Xi staring at her, Feya lifted her gaze and asked, "Have you finished asking?" "Pretty much," he replied. There must have been quite a few things this fox-eared girl was withholding. But Luo Xi didnt have the intention of interrogating her persistently. Some things were surely related to the persons privacythere was no need to pry, and ultimately, he needed to go there himself. "Then can I go back..." "That flower will be ready in five hours." "Oh..." Holding the gray bird in her arms, Feya shrank back into her chair. So its still going to take that long. Luo Xi tentatively asked, "You dont want to stay here? It must be very dangerous for you on your side if your status as a Variant Elf gets discovered, right?" [Note: Crappy Traveler, you should have said, "You wouldnt want the fact that youre a Variant to be discovered by others, right, Miss Elf?"] Island Country text, shut up. "Let me stay here?" Feya clutched the bird tightly in her arms, her exhausted and indifferent temperament vanishing in an instant. She said, somewhat nervously, "Are you still planning on doing something to me? Youre not really one of those villains who are interested in young girls, are you?" Luo Xi: "..." Damn, why does this fox-eared woman still think hes up to no good? If she doesnt want to stay, fine by me. They werent even acquainted, and after this fox-eared woman went back, they probably wouldnt see each other again. Luo Xi asked, "Its still early, do you want to explore the streets again?" "No need." Feya shook her head in refusal, her emerald eyes staring at Luo Xi: "I just hope youll keep your promise." "Of course." Sarch* The n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Standing up, Luo Xi said, "Then you can stay in the study for a while longer. I need to check on my two..." He stopped mid-sentence as his face stiffened. Weier and Aina came in without knocking, striding directly through the wall next to the door. [Note: Three beast-eared lolitas in the same room, yay!] Luo Xi: " o((ѩn))o!" Fxxk! The Belgri Divine Tree had been monitoring for potential enemies, like when Feya suddenly appeared within its domain; Luo Xi was alerted immediately. But both Weier and Aina were on Luo Xis whitelist, and their movements wouldnt trigger the Divine Trees responses or reminders. Luo Xi thought that closing the door would be enough. He forgot that Cat Cat had this uncanny ability. He should have sealed the entire study... Aina glanced at Feya, who was sitting on the chair, her gaze sweeping from her fox ears to the fluffy tail behind her. Hmph. Not long ago, Brother had said that he couldnt do without Ainas tail. And now, Brother has found another girl with such a big tail so quickly. Weiers expression also darkened. Aina had guessed right again. Seeing Little Wolf Girls tranquil eyes, Luo Xi felt somewhat shaky inside. What should I do? Waiting online, urgent Wait, why am I panicking? I havent done anything wrong! For some reason, the pressure from this Wolf Eared Lolita felt greater than Ai Xue and Cat Cat combined. Aina tugged Weiers hand with a smile, saying, "Weier sister, I told you thered be an Adulterous Catno, an Adulterous Fox. You didnt believe me, and heres the proof." Luo Xi raised his hand and shouted, "Listen to my explanation!" [Note: You should say, "Listen to my excuses"~] Luo Xi, "You..." Weier looked at Luo Xi with a touch of disappointment. This guy had just done that with her yesterday, and today hed found another girl? Ai Xue was right after all. If they let this guy roam around their world without close watch, he might indeed start a harem group in a year. Aina, with a flourish of her hand, directed the gleaming silver blade from Little Wolfs hand towards Luo Xi. Luo Xi: (((;???;)))! [Note: The crappy Traveler is about to get knifed! Yay!] Aina slowly tilted her head, her tea-golden eyes devoid of luster, and said, "Brother Luo Xi, could you please explain the story of this fox that reeks of scandal?" Feya, bewildered, responded, "Scandal? Are you talking about me? And who are you exactly!" What is this impolite girl talking about? Wait, whats the relationship between these two girls and the controller of this Divine Tree? Chapter 328 - 243: Three Beast-Eared Lolitas Together, Awesome!_2 Chapter 328: Chapter 243: Three Beast-Eared Lolitas Together, Awesome!_2Feya thought back to what that person had said before. [Ding! Feyas Shock Value +66] Feya looked at Luo Xi in shock and said, "Are these your two young wives?" Feya had thought young wives was just a joke made by that horse-like mutated young man. But to her surprise, these two Variant girls, one with white hair who looked only slightly older than her, and the other with black hair who seemed younger. So, it seemed this controller of the Divine Tree did have an eye for her own modest body... Feya pointed at Luo Xi and shouted, "Shameless! Liar! A villain who plays with young girls!" Luo Xi: "..." Weier turned to Feya and asked, "What did Luo Xi lie to you about?" "What he lied to me about..." Feya was taken aback. From the moment they met, it seemed Luo Xi really hadnt lied to her about anything. Luo Xi cleared his throat and said, "Listen to me, its actually like this." Weier frowned and said, "I didnt say you could speak yet." She had an agreement with Ai Xue, and they couldnt let this guy bring home a girl every few days. Luo Xi: "..." He couldnt take it; he wanted to logout and escape. "How should I put it, as of now its not yet appropriate to say hes lied." Feya thought for a moment and said, "I was only forcibly brought back by him." "Forcibly..." Weier and Aina both looked coldly at Luo Xi. Luo Xi immediately said, "I only asked her a few questions, thats all!" The two sisters looked back at Feya. Feya nodded, "Up until now, he indeed has only asked me some questions." "Really just questions?" Weier said skeptically, "This pervert didnt grope you, touch your tail and ears, bury his head in them to smell, or let his fondling hands roam..." Cat Cat glanced at the chest of the fox-eared girl sitting on the stool. Hmm, looks about the same as her own, probably just a bit bigger at most. Compared to the women in her world during the day, there was no value in letting this pervert touch them, just that tail at the back... that fluffy feeling, if he buried his head in it, maybe he could use it as a pillow to sleep on. Weier gave her face a light slap. When did her own thoughts start to align with this guy Luo Xi? Feyas emerald green eyes widened in shock and she exclaimed, "Is this how you are usually treated by him?" How... how... Hmm? Why does this Lord want to touch tails and ears? And whats with burying his head in them to smell? Feya suddenly felt confused. Had the people from the Shining Country gotten completely used to mutation features? Aina had been silent all this while, her petite nose moving slightly, as her teak-colored eyes slowly regained their gleam. This fox doesnt seem to be lying~ So... Ainas wolf ears perked up slightly as she turned her head and asked, "Brother Luo Xi, do you have any designs on her?" Luo Xi said earnestly, "Theres nothing of the sort." S~ea??h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Brother, youre lying!" Aina puffed up her little face and said, "If you lie again, youll never get to touch Aina again in the future! Not my head or tail either!" Luo Xi: "..." Thats why he disliked these mind-reading-like abilities. After a moment of silence, Luo Xi weakly said, "Although but, I did indeed want to pet her tail and ears, but thats only natural, isnt it?" [Note: Garbage Traveler, I knew you fancied that wolf-eared lady!] Nonsense! Who wouldnt want to pet such a big, fluffy fox tail when they see it! ()! Its simply not a thing, alright! Aina put her hands on the table, leaped onto it, and then jumped into Luo Xis arms in two hops. The Wolf Eared Lolitas small and warm body hugged him, suddenly making Luo Xis brain go blank. Wasnt Aina trying to knife him? Was this a kill move with a hug from the arms? When Luo Xi saw Feyas shocked face and Weiers slightly pouting lips, he immediately realized that this Little Wolf Girl was declaring her ownership over Feya, and even over Cat Cat, in this manner. Ainas shrewdness... Aina narrowed her eyes and asked, "Brother Luo Xi, isnt having Aina and sister enough for you?" Luo Xi stroked Ainas head and said, "Actually, I was just thinking about it." Aina nodded and said, "What Brother said is true, but if thats the case, why didnt you come to Aina?" Luo Xi: "..." Damn mind-reading ability! Luo Xi struggled to say, "Alright." [Note: Damn!Originally really liked this wolf-eared Lolita who was a combination of dark belly, sickness, cuteness, and adorable... now like her even more!] Ainas cute smile: "Mhm mhm, Brother is so well-behaved, you get a reward." A fluffy tuft of woolly object was stuffed into Luo Xis hands. [Ding! Your Happiness Level +20] Damn. Luo Xi felt he was completely under the control of the Little Wolf Girl. [Ding! Feyas Shock Value +55] "You two!" Weier chastised softly. Seeing her sister and Luo Xi being so close in front of strangers, she could hardly contain herself. Cat Cat leaped directly from the chair, landed gracefully on the ground, and then stood next to Luo Xi, together scrutinizing Feya who was sitting in front of them. Weier asked in an even tone, "So who are you?" Feya: "..." How did it go from being full of confrontation at the beginning to jointly judging her now? What the hell is the relationship between these people! The two girls didnt seem to be forced by this Lord either. Especially this black-haired wolf-eared girl. Even though Feya had never known her before, she could feel that intense possessiveness. Who the hell is forcing who. If something really happened between her and this Lord... Feya glanced at the sharp kitchen knife on the table. Would that knife be the one to fall on her head? When everything was over, and Feya was sent to the Hollow Flower by Luo Xi, she still felt a bit dizzy. Todays experiences were too mystical. First, she found a usable Hollow Flower, which allowed her to cross the Confused Mountain Range and cover a distance of several thousand kilometers. Then, she met a Variant Human who had become the controller of the Divine Tree. After that, she was closely watched by two girls who looked about her age for an afternoon. As if they feared she would steal flowers from their home. Any one of these things, in the time that she left Emerald City, was quite mystical. So much so that she suspected she was still dreaming. "Chirp chirp." Gray Gray softly chirped twice in her arms. After leaving the study, it finally stopped playing dead. "Gray Gray, dont be so reckless next time." Feya placed the bird on her shoulder, turned around, and took a sweeping glance at the strange little town. From now on, she might never come back again. Afterward, the fox-eared girl did not hesitate any longer, plunging headfirst into the serrated Hollow Flower. The figures of Luo Xi, Weier, and Aina appeared not far away. Luo Xi said with a pained expression, "See, shes already gone, why do you all think I would hide her? Am I that kind of person?!" [Note: Garbage Traveler, if it wasnt for the Little Wolf Girl holding a knife to your neck, we wouldnt believe youd let this fox-eared lady go~] Stop making rash assumptions about others, Damn Text! "Heh heh." Weier just snorted coldly. However, a sense of relief surged in her heart. Her last guess had not been wrong. If she didnt keep pace with this guy, when they met again after a year, everything would have changed. The one standing by his side would definitely not be her. . It was now around three oclock in the afternoon. When Feya emerged from the Hollow Flower, she suddenly realized that she could no longer return to that little village. Feya wasnt particularly afraid of spending the night in the wilderness. But before leaving, she should take one last look at Little Lynn. She left too hurriedly in the morning, so she owed it to the kid to leave something behind. Even though many people werent all that great, there were still those worth cherishing. However, when Feya returned to the vicinity of the village, she smelled a strong scent of blood. Looking at the village center from afar, two corpses were hanging on the highest branches of the Counterfeit God Tree, swaying wildly with the wind... Chapter 329 - 244: The Fox that Walked into the Trap, The Brutal Elf of Yuye City_1 Chapter 329: Chapter 244: The Fox that Walked into the Trap, The Brutal Elf of Yuye City_1In the village. At the central square. Two people were stripped of their clothes and hung under a branch of the Counterfeit God Tree, their bodies covered in wounds, copious amounts of blood continuously flowing along the lines of their bodies, staining the ground beneath red. These two were the brothers Aos and Bas, who had gone to the City of Yuye to deliver a message; their chests were motionless, and it seemed they had stopped breathing. At the foot of the Divine Tree, there was another person lying on the ground, clutching his chest, bowing his head and gasping for air with difficulty. The rest of the villagers were huddled at the edge of the central square, supporting each other with eyes full of fear as they looked towards the newcomer at the center of the square. It was a handsome man with long pointed ears and pale green eyes, dressed in an exquisite teal coat with golden silk patterns. He looked over the villagers with nothing but disdain and disgust. "A bunch of troublemaking Variants dare to waste my time; you simply deserve to die a thousand deaths," he said. The villagers did not dare meet the mans gaze. What was once a village of over a hundred people now had only a dozen remaining, the rest having already left the place. The remaining were mostly immobile elders. "Old Elf Lord, its all their fault!" the elder groaned as he crawled to the feet of the man, pleading humbly, "The two who deceived you have already been executed by you, could you, my lord, forgive us, these grey mice of the mountains?" The elder knew that if they didnt approach the elf lords and big-shots of the city with a humble attitude and place themselves in a very low position for interaction, they could be killed at any moment. "Spare you?" Silvio looked down, a hint of mockery in his pale green eyes, and sneered, "Spare you? Then who will spare me? Do you know how many people will laugh at me when I return?" As a member of the Heresy Trial Council, Silvio was particularly keen on judging Variant Elves because it is said that those who have judged Variant Elves would be favored by the Elf Mother Tree, or what is known as the EmeraldEternal World Tree. Within the Heresy Trial Council, it is said that a member who has not judged a Variant Elf can only lead a failed life. Of course, the likelihood of an elf undergoing Mutation was very low, and some who had been on the council for more than a decade never truly executed even one Variant Elf. When news came of a Variant Elf sighting, Silvio immediately reported it to the Mansion of the City Lord of Yuye and followed the two humans for hours to this village. He intended to be the first to capture that Variant Elf and then to become her judge. Sarch* The ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Just imagining that scene made him feel that his whole life was meant for that moment. But upon arrival in the village, Silvio learned that the Variant Elf had already fled. This immediately enraged Silvio to no end. A few who did not get along with him already knew what he was out for. Wouldnt there be people who would laugh at him after he returned? He rushed out urgently but got nothing, made a fool of by these grey mice. Silvio glanced over these people. Then... just kill them all to vent my frustration. But who to start with? He looked down at the elder groveling at his feet. The old thing looked like a mangy dog, and it disgusted him. So, he lifted his foot and stomped down hard. Sensing the threat of death, an intense gust of wind preventing him from lifting his head, the elder cried out, "Old Elf Lord, please wait! I might still have a way to find Feya! Spare my life, please!" Silvios foot paused above the elders head. "Oh?" He withdrew his leg and said coldly, "Youre not trying to play me again, are you? Im already very impatient." "I know of a little girl and her father," the elder cried out in tears, clutching his head, "They have a good relationship with Feya; maybe they can still get in touch with her!" "Where are they?" "Gone... theyre gone." "Heh, die then," Silvio said, lifting his foot again. "Wait, my Lord! I know where theyve gone to hide!" "Dont tell them!" The expressions on the faces of the remaining elders in the village changed. Their sons and daughters were among those mentioned! "Silence." Silvio pointed a finger. Summoned from his fingertips, sharp green winds shot out instantly, piercing through the foreheads of those elders. The villagers left to guard were instantly killed. He kicked the old village chief. "Take me there! Now!" Between the mountain hollows. A secluded valley nestled amidst the hollows. Seventy or eighty people were hiding here. Among these seventy or eighty people, the vast majority were mutated humans, and a few pure-blooded commoners who couldnt enter towns for various reasons. Not even one among them was a Third-tier Transcendent; any Catastrophe-level Origin Beast could easily turn all of them into food. Lynn asked softly in her fathers arms, "Daddy, when are we going back?" Perrier fondly rubbed his daughters head and said, "When its almost dark, we should be about ready." Those Old Elf Lords probably wouldnt stay in that broken village for a night, right? Moreover, if they couldnt return to where the village was by nightfall, it would indeed be very troublesome. Although they had set up some deterrents against Origin Beasts in their temporary shelter, that was for daytime conditions. Chapter 330 - 244: The Fox That Walked Into The Trap, The Brutal Elf of the City of Yuye_2 Chapter 330: Chapter 244: The Fox That Walked Into The Trap, The Brutal Elf of the City of Yuye_2Nightfall was when the Origin Beasts were most active. With few people around, it might not be a problem, but now, with so many present, to the Origin Beasts hunting at night, they were just an easy dinner. Suddenly, there came a sound from the concealed woods ahead. Everyone immediately became alert. However, when they saw that it was the old village elder, Harvey, emerging from the thick forest, they let out a slight sigh of relief. Perrier stepped forward and asked, "Elder Harvey, can we go back now..." His voice abruptly ceased. Behind the elder, a handsome long-eared man approached. That was... the Old Elf Lord from the city. Why?! The elder pointed towards Perrier and then turned to address the elf obsequiously, "This father and daughter are closest to Feya, and it was Little Lin who reported to us this morning. If it hadnt been for her, Feya wouldnt have left early!" Perrier held his daughter tightly, his face twitching with anger, "Elder, you!...." The old man replied harshly, "Its all because you failed to discipline your own daughter! You always looked after her so well, you must still have a way to contact Feya. Spit it out quickly, so we can plead with the Old Elf Lord!" "And you, Frey, Feya saved you before; do you also have a way to contact her?" "And Varden, youve been pursuing her for such a long time, did you get nothing in return?! You might have already established a secret relationship!" The elder hysterically roared at several people in the hollow one after another. "Daddy..." Little Lin shrank fearfully into her fathers embrace. She had never seen the usually kind and amiable elder display such a loathsome demeanor. It was like those Origin Beasts that devoured humans without spitting out their bones. "Youre talking nonsense!" Frey was a youth with his right hand mutated into a beast-like claw. He said palely, "Old Elf Lord, this has nothing to do with me! Feya did save me, but I know nothing. Lord, you should talk to Varden! Hes been pursuing her since she arrived here!" "What are you talking about? I dont know anything either!" The man called Varden, a man with a pair of dog ears, was likewise pale as he instantly refuted Freys words to clear himself: "Feya never agreed to anything with me. I can hardly find a chance to talk to her in normal times. She is just a pretentious bitch!" After Varden finished speaking, he looked down, knowing he was spouting nonsense. Even now, thinking about that beautiful girl with golden hair and grey eyes, he still couldnt suppress the thrill in his heartshe was the first girl he had seen with such a captivating aura. But who would want to die? Feya had already left the village. It wasnt worth laying down ones life for her. "Ah." Silvio suddenly found it all very amusing. Occasionally observing these "gray mice" plotting and scheming against each other could indeed lighten ones mood. "You..." Perrier glanced at Varden and Frey, feeling somewhat disappointed. To distance themselves from Feya for survival was one thing, but to curse her like thatdidnt they feel any shame? And Elder Varden. There was a consensus in the village. In order to preserve the fire of youth and children, the elders had volunteered to stay behind, agreeing that no matter what happened, they would not expose this temporary haven. But this elder... Silvio looked over at Perrier, his light green eyes emitting a few strands of sinister gleam. He asked, "Do you have a way to contact that Variant elf? Or a method to find her? I do not want to be played with anymore." Perrier hugged his daughter tightly and shook his head, "I dont know if youve been listening to Harveys nonsense, Old Elf Lord, but I dont have any way to contact Feya." The elder scolded loudly, "Perrier, even if you dont consider your own safety, you should think of your daughters!" Perrier sneered, "Elder, do you really think that by drawing the fire onto me, you can become this Lords loyal dog? Do you think youre worthy?" The elders face fell. He knew well that everything he was doing was just to buy time. But even if it was only for one minute or ten, he wanted to live. The elder cautiously glanced at the Old Elf Lord by his side. However, the big-shot seemed to be watching with great interest. This elated him. In that case, he might still have a chance to live, and even truly become the loyal dog to this big-shot. The premise is, he would need to make the Old Elf Lord happy. "Perrier, you owe me an explanation" The village chiefs voice came to an abrupt halt. He looked on, puzzled, as his line of sight shifted direction, toward half of the sky concealed by the green forest, and also, the strange sensation of weightlessness in his mind. Then his gaze slowly fell downward. He saw his own skull cavity gushing blood incessantly. So, this is my body... With the last thud he heard in his ears, the old village chief lost his final consciousness. "So noisy." Silvio shook off the blood on his hand impatiently and swept a piercing glance over the villagers here: "So none of you know either?" Watching these rats argue was quite entertaining. But he had already wasted too much time. At night, there was a dinner waiting for him to attend in the City of Yuye. "Then you all can go to hell." Silvio raised a finger toward the people in the hollow, condensing ten tiny green orbs of light on his fingertips before launching them all at once. Boom! Perrier almost instantly threw his daughter behind him, spreading his arms and conjuring a barrier of ice-blue ice to block several green orbs, but a large portion still hit behind, causing an incessant stream of screams among the explosion and flying dust. "This is somewhat interesting." A flicker of intrigue finally surfaced in Silvios pale green eyes. A Second-tier Transcendent at the peak of the Mutated branch. Just one step away from reaching the Third-tier. If it were a Third-tier, he might actually feel compelled to unleash all his strength for a fight, as a long-missed exercise of his combat awareness. Too bad its not. Third-tier Variants often possess strength surpassing ordinary Third-tier sublimated persons, thanks to the immense boost the Mutant Factor gives to physical capabilities. When the factor enters a frenzy, many can suddenly increase their strength to crush their peers at the same tier. Of course, the price to pay is the increasingly deep erosion of the factor, leading to degradation into a monster or becoming an Origin Beast. However, he was no ordinary Third-tier sublimated person. As a sublimated person from the Heretical Inquisition, possessing the most suitable weapons and the Elf races unique spells, he was confident he could bridge a minor tier, facing a High-tier Transcendent with the strength of a mid-Tier Third. Perrier dissipated the ice barrier he had formed in his palm. At the same time, the pair of antlers on his head vibrated continuously, and his eyes gradually turned into a sheet of ice blue. His factor originated from a Third-tier Origin Beastthe Snow White Stag. This was the Origin Beast that roamed only during snowy days in the Emerald Forest. With just two months of winter here and spring for the rest, the Snow White Stag appeared only on those days. Perrier contracted the infection as a young boy when he sneaked out on a snowy day. As a result, his daughter also contracted the Mutant Factor. Although the likelihood of the Mutant Factor being transmitted through bloodlines wasnt particularly higharound 20%there were always those who fell within that percentage. Perrier slowly adjusted his breathing. He had to voluntarily let the Mutant Factor in his body enter a berserk state of erosion, to boost his strength temporarily. Now was not the time to run away.

Even if he would die from the erosion of the Mutant Factor afterward. That was his duty to fulfill. Suddenly, a girls crisp voice rang out. "Enough, youre looking for me, they have nothing to do with it." Silvio turned his head back, puzzled, and then burst into elation. Walking through the gaps in the vegetation came a golden-haired, green-eyed fox-eared girl, whose emerald-like beautiful eyes spoke of her pure bloodline! Been doing simulations these two days, and have to memorize stuff, my brain is overloaded. The interview class wont end until the afternoon of the 15th, so tomorrows update wont follow the main storyline but instead, write an extra about Cat Cat and Ainas first meeting. About 2k words. The day after tomorrow, Ill update once Im home after the evening bus ride. Chapter 331: Extra - : The Encounter between Wei’er and Aina_1 Chapter 331: Extra Chapter: The Encounter between Weier and Aina_1Snow fluttered through the sky. Another winter had come. In a small three-story house on Grey Stone Street. Young Weier, wrapped in thick clothes, with her cute little face lively and charming, and a fluffy tail hanging between her legs, sat on the steel staircase leading down from her house, holding her chin and daydreaming. Her light red eyes seemed somewhat listless, beside her lay a small drawing board with several carelessly drawn lines. The falling snow kept landing on her hair and the drawing board before completely covering it. Weier muttered to herself, "Why hasnt Mom come back yet?" Every day her mother would go out twice. Shed leave early in the morning after leaving breakfast, but she would return to make lunch, then go out again in the afternoon and not return until almost dark. It seemed that at least twenty minutes had passed since the usual time she came back. "Ah-choo" Weier sneezed lightly. She hugged her little body tightly, shrinking her neck. It was a bit cold. Thump thump "Please, kind-hearted people, take care of this child for me!" Bang! Thump thump. "I beg you..." Bang! Hearing the sound getting closer, Weier stood up on the staircase, curiously looking down toward the street. The ground of Grey Stone Street was already covered with snow. A woman in thin, tattered clothes, carrying a child on her back, was continuously knocking on the doors of houses on Grey Stone Street. Every time a door opened, she would immediately kneel, but it wouldnt be long before the door was coldly shut again. Take care of someone elses child? The Mutant Patients on Grey Stone Street found it hard enough to take care of themselves, let alone have the energy to take care of someone elses child, and this woman, dressed so tattered, clearly had nothing of value in her hands. It was utterly a thankless task. As one door after another was knocked on and then shut, the woman with the child on her back gradually became numb. Weier rubbed her eyes. Although the distance was far, she could still make out the fine red scales under the womans clothes. Were those Mutation features that appeared after being infected with the Mutant Factor of some scaly Origin Beast? Bang! Right after a nearby households door was closed, the woman finally came to the foot of Weiers home. However, she merely glanced at Weier standing on the steel staircase and, after confirming there were no residents on the first floor, planned to continue forward. "Wait a minute!" Weier called out, then lightly ran and jumped down from the stairs, landing on the snowy ground, only to immediately regret it. Her mother hadnt yet returned, and what could she, a little child, do? Yet the woman didnt look back, her footsteps leaving prints in the snow. She was but a child, after all. At that moment, a gentle voice sounded. "How rare, a Mutant Patient from the Red Dragon Species, arent you? Your situation doesnt look good, your Mutant Factors erosion might soon breach the threshold." The womans body froze. She slowly turned around. There stood a breathtakingly beautiful woman with black hair and purple eyes, tenderly combing the hair of the white-haired girl beside her, their facial features and expressions so similar, one could immediately tell they shared a mother-daughter bond. Liya scolded, "Weier, how many times has Mom told you not to go out carelessly in snowy weather? Either bring the warming scrolls from home or wear more clothes, what if you catch a cold coming out like this?" "I wont catch a cold!" Weier hugged Liyas arm, puffing up her cheeks, "And Mom, you were late today!" "Sorry, I got a bit held up today." Liya pulled her daughters face down, half-laughing, half-crying, "I was only about ten minutes late, why do you act like such a child who cant grow up?" The woman watched the mother and daughter playing and talking, then turned and walked back towards them. And then, she suddenly tried to kneel down. However, a force from nowhere held the womans body back, preventing her from successfully dropping to her knees. "Kneeling is no use to me, theres nothing I can do for you in this situation." Liya shook her head, "With the degree of Factor erosion youve reached, its already a miracle that you can still live in human form." "Its not..." The woman struggled to speak, "I just want to ask that you take care of her in the future." She gently set down the child she had been carrying on her back. There lay a girl with a pair of wolf ears, with a tail trailing behind her, her eyes tightly shut, her baby-fat cheeks lovely to no end. Her long black hair was smooth and shiny, with a few strands hanging beside her ears, adding a peaceful tranquility to her sleeping face. "Youre asking me to take care of her?" Liya was slightly taken aback. Weier was busy enough on her own; if they added another person to the household, who knew what would become of it. "You can take my body as compensation," the woman pleaded, "I am a second-tier peak Dragon Species Mutant Patient, and my body would be worth dozens of gold coins if sold in this town." "Mom." Weier tugged gently at Liyas hand, saying, "She looks so pitiful." Liya took a glance at the girl on the ground and then carefully observed the womans condition. The woman truly wasnt going to last much longer. The degree of erosion by the Mutant Factor was deepening every moment, yet due to her poor compatibility with the factor, she had never been able to ascend to the Transcendence Tier, which led her to this state. But there were far too many pitiable people in the world. Liya would mostly ignore such sights if she encountered them on the road. Sarch* The n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Liya herself had grown detached from these things. Thinking about it, should she find a companion for Weier? Liya pondered this. She looked down at her daughter. Over the years, Weier hadnt had many friendsif she could find her a playmate, that would be nice. Liya made up her mind, stepped forward, and carefully examined the childs condition. Quite cute. She could tell that the girl had been temporarily made unconscious by some sort of hypnotic Skill. But why was the mother a Dragon Species Mutant Patient, while the daughter belonged to the Wolf genus? Could it be that the girls father was a Wolf genus Variant? But that was impossible. In the channel of bloodline inheritance, the Dragon Species factor should have an overwhelming suppressive force. Unless the two factors stemmed from Origin Beasts of different Transcendence Tiers. "Alright, Ill take care of this child from now on." Liya asked, "But I want to confirm, are you this childs biological mother?" The woman let out a sigh of relief, then looked down. She seemed hesitant. In the end, she said, "Yes." "Mm." Liya nodded to show she understood. It didnt matter whether she was the biological mother or not. The woman pulled out a knife and pressed it against her chest: "Im giving you my bodythats the last compensation I can offer." "No need for that." Liya lifted her purple-colored pupils, smiling and saying, "I have no use for those things." "Is that so..." The woman realized that the foster mother she had found for her child was somewhat out of the ordinary. It seemed her luck was not too bad, after all. A fervent flame burned upon the womans body. Weier was immediately frightened by the sudden appearance. "Then, I will be going now." As the flames consumed her clothes, the womans body, writhing with red scales, became visible, and her face bore a relieved smile. "Her name is Anna Stasia... no, from now on, please call her Aina." The flames burned quickly, and by the time they were gone, there was no trace of the woman leftonly ashes remained on the ground. Liya stroked her daughters hair: "Weier, mom found you a little sister on her own initiative; are you angry?" "No way." Weiers eyes sparkled brightly. A little sister! She had always wanted one. ... The girl with wolf ears furrowed her brows as her tea-gold eyes looked around in confusion at her surroundings. Why am I here? And, who am I? "Mom, shes awake! Shes awake!" Weier ran in from the doorway, looked at the dark-haired girl, and asked excitedly, "How do you feel? ...Aina?" The girl tilted her head. "Aina?" Is that my name? This was how the two sisters first met. Ill be finishing the ground class tomorrow afternoon, and Ill update after I get home. Itll probably be quite late. Chapter 332 - 245 The Spring of Sisters is Coming_1 Chapter 332: Chapter 245 The Spring of Sisters is Coming_1"Feya!" At the sight of Feya, tears streamed down Lynns face. Perrier was stunned on the spot. His lips trembled ever so slightly. He wanted to ask, Why did you come back, Feya? Then came a feeling of immense relief. Feya had returned. So, this elf from the City of Yuye, would he now spare them? Slap! Perry raised his hand and slapped himself hard. What was he thinking? Letting such a child bear this burden. How was he any different from Varden and his ilk? The aura of weakness that had begun to envelop Perrier surged once more, and he stepped forward. A cold blue light began to sparkle around him, and the bitter cold Yuan Su overflowed from his body, frosting the very ground where he trod. "Freeze." From Feyas mouth, two arcane syllables suddenly echoed. At that moment, both the rampaging Mutant Factor and the Yuan Su within Perriers body stalled. Silvios gaze also changed instantly. The manic joy on his face turned into terror and unease. Struggling to flutter his eyelids, Silvios elongated ears turned completely white. His body, too, at this instant, lost all capacity for movement. The meaning of the elf spell Feya had recited was "Solidify." In the system of elf spells, it was barely of the Second-tier. Logically, even if Feyas Transcendence Tier was the same as his, it shouldnt be possible for her to immobilize him with a spell of this tier, unless... unless her bloodline was exalted far beyond his own! Perhaps, she was even connected to the echelons of royalty from Emerald City. But how could that be possible?! Silvio had clearly observed the Mutations characteristics specific to the Fox Species within Feya. Could it be that those beings he had to look up to would also be infected with the Mutant Factor and become Variants? It made no sense at all. Setting aside the very low probability of Mutation among the elf race, as the originating city of all elves, how could there be an Origin Beast capable of spreading its Mutant Factor into Emerald City? Thump Feya approached with steady steps. "Who... who exactly are you?" From Silvios lips came a strained and broken utterance. Feya walked up beside Silvio, her exquisite face slowly lifted, and as she gazed into his eyes, she said, "I have come. So, what would you like to do now?" Inwardly, Silvio cursed. How about you first release the "Solidify" spell before you talk to me like this, cant you? "You cant kill me, otherwise all these people will die..." "You never intended to spare them in the first place, did you?" A sorrowful smile appeared on Feyas face as she spoke softly with downcast eyes, "Its always been like this. The last time too, and the time before. Everywhere I go, I always bring disaster to others. The so-called Lucky Fox, has it really brought me fortune, or misfortune?" ? What was this mysterious Variant elf talking about? Wait! Lucky Fox? Suddenly, a legend circulating in the Emerald Forest came to Silvios mind. It was said that anyone who encountered a nine-tailed fox would receive a power known as luck, thereafter warding off disasters and avoiding misfortune. The name of that Origin Beast fox was known as the Lucky Fox. Its specific Tier was unclear, but to become a legend, if indeed it existed, it had to be at least of the high king level. Feya slowly placed her hand over Silvios chest. "Freeze" "Solidify" Again, those arcane elf syllables. They didnt seem to have any destructive power. Yet, as the spell was cast, Silvio felt a pang in his chest and rapidly everything before him darkened; he realized that his heart, vital to sustaining his life, had stopped beating. And not just the heart. Every organ, along with the circulation of his blood, had been halted. sea??h th novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. However, as a Third-tier Transcendent, even with his organs ceasing to function, he could endure for a period of time. But despair overtook him when a different elf spell was pronounced by the fox-eared girl. "Boil" "Boiling" This was a First-tier elf spell causing water to boil in a short time. Normally, it would be ineffective against a person, unless one could keep a person still for an extended time and then lay hands directly on their body. "No... You cant do this..." Silvio gradually lost the strength to speak. His blood began to boil and surge, violently destroying his organs. Moments later, large quantities of blood began to flow from Silvios mouth, eyes, ears, and nose. "Grandma Yadson, Grandpa Luis, Grandpa Nanu..." Feyas voice rang in his ear one last time, carrying a hint of coldness. "When you killed them, did you ever think that there would come a day when you would be killed as well?" They were just despicable Variant humans! Silvio wanted to roar with indignation. But his consciousness quickly sunk into darkness. And then, he never saw the light again. Feya pushed the dead elf to the ground, then raised her head to look at the people in the hollow. Many were injured. Her gaze swept over Frey and Varden and fell on Perrier, as well as his daughter Lynn in his arms. At that moment, Perrier stood frozen in place, weakened by the abrupt interruption of his Factors rampage, barely able to stand steady, looking at her with complex eyes. Chapter 333 - 245: Sisters, Spring is Coming_2 Chapter 333: Chapter 245: Sisters, Spring is Coming_2A hoarse cry rose. Behind her, a woman holding her dead husband approached Feya, sobbing with a raw voice, "Return Lanse to me! Its all your fault. None of this would have happened if it werent for you!" "You damned harbinger of plague!" "Why wont you just die!" Feya was unable to rebuff the womans accusations. She merely remained silent. The woman seemed to take Feyas silence as a retreat, and with the death of her husband, she completely lost her reason. Suddenly, she stood up, drew a small knife, and charged at Feya. However, as she neared within two meters of Feya, the woman stepped on a round stone on the ground by accident, lost her balance, and fell onto the side, tumbling into a pile of grass. Feya did not move an inch. When what was called luck manifested itself upon her, it brought misfortune to others, and this misfortune could affect anyone near her. That was the reason she could communicate normally with others during her ten years of wandering, but always held back, leaving after a period of time in search of a new place. After the woman fell into the grass, no one dared to lash out at Feya suddenly anymore. In their view, if Feya had easily defeated the Old Elf Lord who had driven them to a corner, then she surely must be stronger than all of them. So what if she was a Variant Elf? Strength is the true foundation. Feya nodded slightly to Perrier, "Uncle Perrier, Im sorry to have involved you all. I will do my best to distance the village from this matter. You dont have to worry." "As for those whove been hurt... and those who have died." Feya whispered, "I can only say Im sorry." Having said that, she leaned over and removed the emblem of proof from Silvios sleeve and then placed her hand over his body. "??"[Incinerate] Flames roared to life over the body of the elf. Feya got up and walked towards the edge of the woods. It was at least a two and a half hour journey to the City of Yuye. She wondered if she could make it there before dark. Perrier called out, "Feya, what are you going to do?" Lynns voice, soft and tearful, also sounded, "Sister Feya, you protected everyone. Why are you leaving?" Feya paused. But she did not turn around, her bushy tail swished once, and then something flew towards Lynn, landing precisely in the girls hands. It was a green leaf, its texture resembling finely carved jade. Clutching the leaf in her hand, Lynn looked up again only to find Feyas figure gone, the great fire continuing to burn. "Sister Feya..." Perrier wrapped his daughter in his embrace, consoling her, "Feya will be alright." "She definitely will be alright." . Feya tossed aside the leaf she had been clutching, which had partially turned to jade. These were all casually picked from the side of the road. After she imbued them with that vague power only she could feel, the leaves would transform into this state. The success rate wasnt very high, one in ten; those receiving a leaf would find themselves a bit luckier than before. For instance, a person who always lost at cards might, after getting a leaf, occasionally win a hand or two. And there would be no side effects. This was a method she had deduced from observing her Mutation ability over the years. Some distance from the dip in the mountains, the flush on the girls face faded, a sickly pallor rapidly overtaking her pretty face. With her strength at the peak of the Second-tier, casting a spell to solidify a stronger elf like Silvio would have been impossible. Yet, the enhancement from her bloodline allowed her to kill Silvio with ease. But that had been her limit. Had Silvio been a bit stronger, she... no, she would have been fine. Blessed by the Power of Luck, she could have escaped from the jaws of a peak-Tier Origin Beast. Although the price was a Beast Tide that utterly destroyed a town of ten thousand residents. Mother, is this the so-called Lucky Fox? Using the misfortune of others for my own luck. Feya looked down at her tail, disgust evident in her emerald eyes. That night in the City of Yuye, a frightful event occurred. An elf from the Heresy Judicature was killed by a Variant Elf. S~ea??h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The emblems of glory had been removed, discarded outside the gates of the City of Yuye. She had even deliberately waited there a while, infuriating the owner of the city to the point of bursting. Who was this audacious individual? Even though it was already night, and the Emerald Forest had become very dangerous, the City Owner still sent out a squad of elite soldiers to pursue someone. However, by the next day at noon, not a single person had returned. It was then that the City Owner realized something was wrong and sent people to search, only to find a large lump of black, digested matter. It was the excrement of a Lord-tier Origin Beast, within which were many pieces of undigested equipment and armor. The City Owner immediately realized he had been duped. It was the organization of Variant Elves that was ambushing their City of Yuye! . Feya put down the map she was holding. She called out softly, "Graygray." "Chirp chirp!" The bird landed on her shoulder and brought a red berry towards her face. "Eat it yourself." Feya poked the birds head away and laughed, "Next, well go to Ismure, the land of white flowers. The sky there is filled with white flowers, just like snow. Ive wanted to see it for a very long time." ... [Traveler, as the controller of the Divine Tree, your village is thriving. Belonging of the villagers to Belgri +10, your Power of Divine Tree +1000, True Canon of Belgri, today you have been provided with 3000 points of Power of Divine Tree.] Luo Xi lay in bed and closed his eyes. It had already passed midnight. It was almost time to sleep. Tomorrow, Master Jiujian said he was coming back and asked him to practice swordsmanship by the lakeside as per their usual arrangement, to which Luo Xi naturally agreed. To travel a hundred miles is to walk ninety. Having achieved some results with his swordsmanship, he could not let it go to waste. Things in Belgri Town were probably well arranged, Luo Xi planned to explore the Emerald Forest across from the Hollow Flower tomorrow, to confirm the geography and specific conditions there. [Note: Garbage Traveler, youre not thinking of catching that Little Fox Lolita to pet her, are you?] How could that be! Feya might already be far away by now. In Luo Xis mind, the image of the Little Fox Girls pretty face and the fox ears and tail on her body flashed by. Emmmm... Ill just go pet Aina tomorrow. ... [Traveler, you brought the two sisters near the Hollow Flower.] [Originally, you were thinking of sneaking away and then trying to come back in six hours, but then you remembered that if you were discovered, you might get chopped by the Little Wolf Girl, so you brought them along.] [Traveler, you stepped into the Hollow Flower.] [Transferring... Please wait.] [Ding! You unlocked the large region: Emerald Forest (Nation).] [Traveler, you smelled a fragrant odor, a unique scent that permeates this forest.

Her sense of smell is much keener than yours. Perhaps she smells something different.] [Unlike the snow-covered land of the Shining Country.] [This place is like a world brimming with spring!] ... Weier sneezed softly. Its kind of itchy. She looked puzzled at Aina, who was lying in her arms with a flushed face. Whats wrong with my foolish little sister? Aina held Weiers waist and said with pursed lips, "Sister Weier, Aina feels she is starting to become strange..." Weier: "?" But soon, she too felt a warmth spreading through her body. Strange. Why do I suddenly feel so hot? [Note: The springtime of the sisters is arriving~] Chapter 334 - 246: No to Awkwardness, Plastic Sisterhood_1 Chapter 334: Chapter 246: No to Awkwardness, Plastic Sisterhood_1Luo Xi: "???"

Could it be that she thought this was too common to mention, so she didnt bother? Sarch* The N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Possible. For Feya, this is where she has always lived, so even if the air has a strange influence, she probably doesnt care about it anymore. [Traveler, youve noticed an ominous reaction arising from Weier and Aina.] [At the same time, you also feel your body getting slightly feverish.] [Ding!

For those who have never been here, its easy to fall into its effects, which involuntarily make one want to procreate.] [Note: Garbage Traveler, this is the power of life (spring)!

[Sigh] [Youve activated the Yuan Su within you and, after a moment, its flow successfully dispels the airs lewd influence.] [Traveler, youve regained your cool.] [Seeing this, Weier immediately mimics your method.

Its good to have a corresponding solution. Anyway, first head to the Dream World and see what the actual situation is there. Outside Belgri Town, unable to use the Divine Trees rights, he had to be conservative with those few synchronization opportunities. [Do you want to use Talent: Immersion?] [Yes] [Traveler, welcome to the journey of dreams.] ... Weier, clearly in dire straits being undressed by her sister, noticed Luo Xis change in demeanor and temperament and realized he might have come into this world. She immediately called out, "Luo Xi, help me quick, Aina seems to have broken!" Luo Xi looked over the two sisters clinging together, and with a weird expression, said: "Are you sure you want me to help?" Currently, Ainas target is Weier, probably because they were the closest at the start, but if I go over, she might shift her target to me. Weier: "..." Indeed. Ainas attitude toward Luo Xi is even more enthusiastic than her own. If this guy comes over, Aina will definitely throw herself at him, and just now, for some inexplicable reason, Luo Xis body, radiating heat, seemed strangely attractive... Cat Cat shook her head frantically. What am I thinking? Am I still under the influence of something in the air here? "Then you... dont come over, I can handle it." Weier bit her lip, then suddenly exerted force and pushed her sister to the ground, before hitting Ainas forehead with her own. "Foolish sister, wake up!" Bang! "Ah!" "Mm" After a muffled thud, two different cries of pain from the girls followed. Luo Xi: "." This method of handling the situation by Cat Cat, how to put it, feels somewhat unique. [Note: Clearly, this Cat Cat is acting out of personal grudge. Normally, she cant bully her sister openly, but now she can take the opportunity to knock some sense into her and let her sister understand whos the boss~] Stupid damn text, dont underestimate the deep bond between sisters! "Wuu..." Aina sat on the ground, rubbing her forehead, which now had a bump. She looked up at her sister with a pitiful expression. "What are you doing, sister?" "Its because Aina wouldnt wake up." Weier also touched her own head. Her forehead was harder than Ainas, no bump appeared, just a bit of redness. "But it really hurts!" Aina pouted, looking indignant. As she breathed, her cheeks, which had returned to their normal color, started to blush again, and this time Aina looked over at Luo Xi not too far away, her wolf ears perking up. [Note: Garbage Traveler, run! The lustful wolf is coming!] Goddamn lustful wolf! Weier decisively knocked her sisters forehead once more. Bang! Thus, another bump appeared on Ainas head, but her will became clear again. Weier shouted in her sisters ear: "Idiot, stop inhaling it, use the Yuan Su in your body to filter the air!" Aina finally obediently listened to Cat Cat, and then with both hands rubbing the bump on her head, her eyes brimming with tears. Its so painful. Sister didnt hold back at all. She strongly suspects this is Weier sisters revenge on her! Aina turned back to Luo Xi, looking aggrieved and said, "Weier sister is so mean... Brother Luo Xi, lets ignore her." Luo Xi: "...." [Note: Deep bond (x) Plastic sisterly love ()] Anyway, this was their first encounter in the Emerald Forest. Unexpected. Yet it makes sense. After all, its a world with Transcendence powers. Whatever happens feels normal. Chapter 335 - 246: No to bitterness, Plastic sisterhood_2 Chapter 335: Chapter 246: No to bitterness, Plastic sisterhood_2... In a very hidden underground cave, a square altar stood solemnly at the center, silent and imposing. The dim yellow flame illuminated the interior of the cave where various distorted shadows danced on the walls, mingling together like a troupe of demons. Below the altar lay about a hundred corpses, mostly humans with a few elves among them. The thick scent of blood wafted through the cave, limbs and internal organs scattered about, as if composing a hellish tableau. Whoosh An eerie wind blew in from an unknown source, bringing with it chilling echoes. At the very center of the altars top, an intricate pattern was inscribed, a mixture of circles and lines of varying sizesthese were the main elements of the pattern. If there was anyone familiar with the layout of the towns in the Emerald Forest, they would immediately recognize this pattern as a map of the towns with hundred-meter-class Divine Trees. An old man with white hair squatted on the altar, muttering to himself, "So slow, at this rate, how long will it take to turn these elves into..." "One of the three archbishops of the Disaster Church, His Excellency Diitus Cardwell, your methods are too crude and outdated. Even if you succeed, it will surely take a considerable amount of time. Would you be interested in joining me in completely overturning this cannibalistic world?" A gentle male voice rose from below the altar. The old mans muddy eyes suddenly sharpened, and he stood up, looking downward. It was a man with gentle demeanor, blond hair, and a monocular eyeglass on his left eye. A golden chain dangled from one side of the eyeglass, hanging over his ear. "Who are you?" "I am Ande Adenis." The man smiled and said, "Senia and Medros, even though those two kilometer-scale Guard Cities are already under your control, there are still four cities you need to conquer. But can you really do that under the watchful eye of Emerald City?" The old mans eyes underwent a dramatic change, and he bellowed, "How did you come to know of this? Who leaked it?!" "Your Excellency is overthinking it." Ande placed his hand on his chest and nodded, saying, "Let me introduce myself first, I am the 58th Pope of the Church of Truth, Ande Adenis." "The Pope of the Church of Truth?" The old man stared at Ande with suspicion. The Church of Truth and the Disaster Church were both heretical cults wanted across the Pan Continent; naturally, both parties had some understanding of each other. This man, who had somehow made it here unnoticed through layers of defense above, regardless of whether he was who he claimed to be, undoubtedly possessed formidable strength. After a long while, the old man asked, "Then, what brings Your Holiness here? Surely not just to chat with an old man like me?" "Of course not." Ande spoke gently, "As I mentioned earlier, the remaining four Guard Cities are directly under the control of Emerald City, and the difficulty of capturing them is greater than that of reaching the heavens. So, why not aim directly at Emerald City instead?" "Hahaha, I thought you had something serious to say." The old man laughed so hard his face seemed about to split apart, saying, "With the scattered power in the root network not yet dispelled, unless the three great Origin Disasters act against Emerald City together, it cannot possibly fall. As the Pope, are you not aware of the power held by the Eternal Divine Tree?" "Of course, I am aware." Ande adjusted his monocle, his eyes strangely enigmatic as he looked at the old man and smiled, "Theres no need for all three great Origin Disasters to attack Emerald City. If we can tie up the power of the Emerald Tree with just two Origin Disasters, then we can kill the Elven Queen in the Emerald City, which has been drained of a significant portion of its strength... And if our people can take that part of the Origins power, then the Emerald Forest will be ours!" The old mans gaze sharpened, and he said, "Thats impossible! The power of the Origin cant be..." Ande smiled and replied, "Then that is a problem for Your Excellency to consider. However, I cant believe the renowned Disaster Church doesnt have any cards up its sleeve, right?" The old man was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Maybe, but its nearly impossible for two great Origin Disasters to appear together." Ande expressed his doubt, "Including Your Excellency, the Disaster Church has three archbishop-level Disasters walking the earth, there should be a way, right?" The old man shook his head and said, "The Origin Disasters summoned through that way are still not their complete forms. Those capable of contending with the Eternal Divine Tree are appearing by means unknown to us." "Oh?" Ande pushed up his monocle and chuckled, "What a coincidence, we have a way to make an Origin Disaster complete, um... not exactly complete, but close enough to take a step further. If our two great churches work together, wouldnt that be splendid? Unbeatable under the heavens?" The old man was taken aback. Are you sure youre not joking? Sear?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "You doubt me?" Ande sighed lightly and said, "Well then, I shall take my leave." He made as if to go. "Wait!" The old man said with a heavy tone, "I agree, but you must first prove that you have the ability to enhance the power of the Origin Disasters." "Of course." Ande turned gracefully and said, "Then, Your Excellency, why not release your mighty power? Bring disaster upon this world?" "Its not me." The old man shook his head and said, "If I were to use my strength, it would take at least twenty years to recover, and during that period, I could not use my strength again." "So?" "Your Holiness, please head south." The old man grinned and said, "Theres a place called Ismure down there, where one of our Bishops-Elect has been preparing for a long time and is about to be promoted to Tier Four Erosion of Water. At that time, Flood DisasterWaterlit will have part of its strength descend." "Since you are interested, Your Holiness, why not go and take a look? Perhaps you can use the kind of strength you mentioned." "Interesting." Andes lips curled into a smile, "When will it be?" "In about three days." "I will go. Watch carefully, Your Excellency the Archbishop." Ande pushed up his monocle, a flash of light reflecting off the lens, and then he left without looking back. The old man stood motionless on the altar for a long time. Church of Truth... Is the god standing behind you truly from beyond this world? .... Luo Xi, within twenty minutes of synchronization time, successfully led Weier and Aina out of the forest. However, they still did not know where they were. The map given by Liya had no positioning ability, and the parts about Emerald Country were mostly blank. It seemed that a map of this place was still needed. [Traveler, you see a Divine Tree about a dozen meters tall, releasing a thin barrier, on the perimeter of which is a simple mud wall.] [Would you like to go over and have a look?] [Yes] A Divine Tree that stood over a dozen meters tall was probably a Counterfeit God Tree, right? Those living under the Counterfeit God Tree were mostly Mutant Patients. It would be good to ask about the situation here. [Traveler, accompanied by Weier and Aina, you approach the vicinity of the Counterfeit God Tree.] [Someone notices you and rings some kind of metal wind chime.] [A man with deer antlers growing from his head comes out of the village.] [He looks at you seriously and asks, "What have you come here for?"] [Traveler, you tell them you are travelers, here to buy something to eat, and you wonder if there is a map you could purchase.] [The man tells you that they do not have any maps, that they are but gray mice clinging to life in the mountains, and even if they had maps, they would not consider traveling far.] [After confirming your Variant status, and that your ears are those of humanity, you are invited into the village.] ... Weier looked around the lifeless village with doubt. It seemed like none of the villagers had any energy to work. Had it always been like this? Moreover, the air in the village was filled with the smell of blood. "Can Feya truly ensure our safety?" "I dont know." "We dont have any other options." "If she hadnt concealed her identity, we wouldnt be in this situation." "Exactly, its all her fault." Villagers were whispering among themselves. Weier turned her head back in surprise. What was that name? Chapter 336 - 247: Special Lollipop for Kidnapping the Beast Eared Girl_1 Chapter 336: Chapter 247: Special Lollipop for Kidnapping the Beast Eared Girl_1[Traveler, you heard these villagers discussing someone named "Feya"] [However, when you tried to ask the villagers who Feya was, they avoided you as if it was a taboo subject, and walked away] ["Who is Feya?" you, the Traveler, asked.] [The antlered man who had led you into the village turned around and told you that Feya used to live here, but she just happened to leave the village yesterday, advising you not to overthink it.] [Just happened to leave?] [Yet you had just seen the fox-eared elf girl yesterday.] [Aina tugged on your sleeve and gestured for you to turn and look towards the Divine Tree, where you saw the plaza under the Counterfeit God Tree still marred by large red stains of blood.] [Something must have happened here not too long ago.] [With a furrowed brow, Aina spoke with concern, "Brother Luo Xi, theres a strong smell of blood here, and the scent left by that fox is also strong; you didnt come here looking for her on purpose, did you?"] [Traveler, you said, "This is just a coincidence."] [Whether Aina believed it or not, to you, the Traveler, this was indeed just a coincidence.] [And within reason.] [This village was the closest to the Hollow Flower.] [The antlered man went into a storage room and after rummaging around for a while, he came out and sold you an old map for two silver coins.] [You took out the silver coins and handed them to him.] ["Are you really foreigners?"] [The man looked at the silver coins you gave him with some surprise, noticing the unfamiliar patterns on them, and shook his head, "Sorry, this isnt the official currency of the Emerald City; it cant be used. If we reforge it due to depreciation, its value would be halved."] [Traveler, you promptly gave him a gold coin.] [The man was momentarily taken aback, then accepted the gold coin.] [After all, unlike silver coins, as long as the material was gold, even if it was re-forged, it would retain significant value.] [Traveler, you then gave him two more gold coins, adding, "We are wanderers who traverse various places in the world, searching for hidden histories and legends, gathering interesting tales and stories."] ["Moreover, weve met Feya by chance and know that she is a Variant Elf."] [When you, the Traveler, said this, the mans expression clearly changed.] [Traveler, without waiting for him to speak, you continued, "We are friends with her, the good kind."] [You immediately felt two icy stares on your back.] ["Oh, good friends, eh?"] [Cat Cat commented sourly, "Weve known each other for such a short time and youre already good friends? Your friendship sure is cheap, isnt it? Im one of your good friends too, right?"] [Aina jumped up and bit your hand, accusing, "Aina knew Brother Luo Xi couldnt stop thinking about that big-tailed fox!"] Luo Xi: "..." [Traveler, you calmed the two sisters down and moved them to the side.] [The antlered man regarded you with a very strange look.] [You had seen too many similar expressions before.] [Clearly, he must have thought you were some pervert who abducted girls.] [Note: Scrappy Traveler is quite self-aware, eh~] Who says Im self-aware?! [Ding! The affinity of small creatures has been triggered: Lynns favorability towards you +50] [Ding! The title "Beast Eared Girl Romance Master" has been triggered, Lynns favorability towards you +20] [Traveler, you suddenly realized that men here might not be the best to communicate with, but beast-eared girls are a different story; an initial 70 favorability points means you can ask whatever you like, right?] [The man scooped up his daughter and told you that he would be back soon, asking you to wait here. He then quickly ran towards a cabin and entered the small wooden hut with her.] Luo Xi: "..." Well, there goes the plan. [However, something unexpected happened. A minute later, the previously locked door of the small wooden hut somehow became loose and was blown open by a gust of wind. The deer-antlered girl poked her head out, looking around.] [She jogged over to you.] [Aina stepped forward to stop her, her tea-golden eyes gleaming: "What do you want to do?"] ["I just heard you say that you know Sister Feya!"] [The deer-antlered girl glanced back at the cabin, saw that her father had not come out, and proceeded anxiously: "Sister Feya might be in danger. She took on the blame for killing the Elder Elf Lord alone for our sake. Little Lin wants to help Sister Feya, but I dont have the ability to..." Her voice trailed off more and more softly.] [Weier, curious: "What about your father?"] [Little Lin put a finger to her lips and whispered: "Shhh! Dad is preparing food, and Little Lin sneaked out when she saw the door suddenly open."] [Traveler, you took out a few lollipops from your bag that you brought from Belgri Town.] Luo Xi pinched his chin. Though the creator of Snowworms brought a great disaster to Belgri, it also brought about many new industries that didnt exist in this world, like the lollipops made by a candy store on the streets of Belgri Town.] [Lollipop] [Quality: White (Common)] [Category: Food] [Attribute: Can restore a small amount of physical strength] [Description: Essential for luring beast-eared little lolitas (crossed out), this is a high-quality candy that makes ones mouth water.] Weier and Aina, having both been to the real world and tasted high-end sweets, were not very interested in these lollipops. However, for a girl who had never tasted them before, it was different. Just one could coax... make her obediently listen. [Note: Traveler, youve revealed your wicked thoughts again!] Shut up. [Weier took three lollipops from your hand. She shot you a glance, then unwrapped the sweets and placed one with a smile into her younger sisters mouth before unwrapping another and handing it to the deer-antlered girl.] ["This is a very sweet candy. Eat it while we talk slowly, okay?"] ["This is candy?"] [Little Lins eyes almost lit up.] [For mutant patients like her, the diet is usually very bland and both salt and sugar are extremely precious commodities.] [Seeing Weier and Aina both eat a lollipop, she too put the candy into her mouth.] ["Delicious!"] ["Right, right."] Sarch* The N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Aina, acting like a little grown-up, walked over, ruffled the girls head, and chuckled: "If you think its tasty, Brother Luo Xi has lots more, but you cant do anything unnecessary, okay~"] ["Unnecessary things?"] [Little Lin clearly didnt know what Aina meant, pointing to a stone under a tree nearby: "Its quite tiring to stand here, lets go over there, ah, Dad is coming out!"] [Traveler, you looked up at the wooden cabin.] [The man was looking over in your direction.] [He was carrying a pot of tea and walked towards you.] ["What is my daughter eating?" he asked.] [Traveler, you didnt speak, just took out two more lollipops and tossed one to the man.] [Rather than explaining, its better to let him taste one himself.] [Note: The Travelers lollipops! Everybody who tastes them loves them!] Hmm? ----- ----- Thats all for today. Im going to an interview tomorrow. No matter how it goes, I expect to stabilize the updates afterward. Chapter 337 - 248: Cunning Little Aina Up Against the Natural Fawn_1 Chapter 337: Chapter 248: Cunning Little Aina Up Against the Natural Fawn_1"After confirming the candy was harmless, the man nodded and said, Thank you all for your generosity. This candy must be quite expensive, right? I had forgotten to introduce myself earlier to you, our guests. I am the current village chief of this village, named Perrier." "Ding! Perriers favorability towards you +30" Luo Xi pondered. Did life necessities such as candy and salt gain the favor of these Mutant Patients better than gold or silver coins? Please follow me, dear guests. Perrier, holding the antlered girl in his arms, took you to a thatched hut in the village. As the man pushed the door open, a scent of earth and grass immediately wafted out. You saw many branches and thin thatch spread on the walls all around, with drafts everywhere inside the hut, and the interiors furnishings were pitifully scarce, except for a wooden plank bed and a low table, there was nothing else. Liu Yuxi would have exclaimed that this was the true definition of a humble abode. This is the room that Feya had lived in before she left." Perrier told you that Feya had been here for half a year, during which time she had concealed her identity, never showing her pointed ears, and her emblematic green eyes of the Elf race were somehow altered to gray, until yesterdays incident revealed her true self... Sar?h the N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Traveler, the village chief shared with you what happened yesterday. Situations like this were common in this world, but you, the Traveler, wondered why merely exposing an Elfs identity led to companions of half a year turning into informers? You turned and looked at Weier and Aina, who were listening attentively beside you. In a flash, you had an epiphany. Havent you understood all along? Not all Mutant Patients have proper morals. How many among the Mutated Humans would feel joy upon learning that a high and mighty Elf had fallen to become lowly creatures like them, or wish to see her unlucky? Just the sight of someone elses downfall could bring immense happiness, perhaps even more than climbing to those heights themselves. Not to mention the substantial profit one could obtain from it. Did she always live in such a dilapidated place? Weier said softly, then entered and looked around. Aina followed and sniffed the air beside her. The antlered girl, with her head down, murmured softly, Brothers and sisters, you say you are friends of sister Feya, so, can you bring sister Feya back? Um... actually, its not necessary to bring sister back. Lin just wants to know how sister is doing, Lin is afraid shes in danger." Aina looked at her and, after a while, said with a smile, Sure we can. However, that is if we happen to encounter her, as we wont actively search for her. "Ding! Your shock value +30" Traveler, you were greatly shaken. Weier, too, looked at her sister in astonishment. Was this the Aina you knew? Just moments ago she was questioning your purpose for coming here, and now she had so readily agreed to Lins request? Note: Garbage Traveler, you think its abnormal if Aina doesnt chase you with a cleaver, right? Youve been shaped into the form of a Little Wolf Girl! Thats not true! .... Ainas gaze drooped, her tea-golden eyes glistening slightly as she looked at the antlered girl, who was about a decade old in front of her. She glanced at the stray strand of white hair that drifted past her. Sister ah... That simple wish to know the safety of a loved one, hoping they could live wellshe had it too and understood deeply. No one understood it better than her. The smell emanating from the other person was also stable, indicating that she wasnt lying. This child was merely worried about the safety of that fox sister. Since that was the case, she wasnt such a heartless person. After all, the world was so big; it wasnt likely that they would ever meet her again, right? Such a coincidence, just couldnt happen~ Moreover, that fox was probably stronger than them all; where would they need their help? Responding to the Little Deer like this, Brother Luo Xi wouldnt think that Aina was just a possessive, bad child, would he? Hehe~ Aina was quite tolerant indeed~ Before Aina could even go back to show Luo Xi and Weier her empathy, she felt something cold placed in her hand. Aina looked down to see that it was a green jade leaf. Little Lin said, "This is in return." Unable to hold back, Perrier said, "Little Lin, isnt this something that Feya gave to you..." The girl with antlers said earnestly, "Its true that Sister Feya gave it to Lin, but this is the only thing Lin can offer to brother and sister as payment." "If one day you see Sister Feya, please show this to her and tell her that Lin will always think of her." Aina, looking at the leaf in her hand, fell silent. "We dont need this." She tried to give the leaf back to the child. It must be something very precious to Lin, right? But Lin dodged Ainas outstretched hand and hid behind her fathers back. Perrier laughed and said, "Since Lin has given it to you, little sister, then you should accept it." "Hmm..." Aina tightly grasped the leaf in her hand. It symbolized the other partys hope, and she had already made a promise. She always had the feeling that shed been trapped by the girl. Yet the scent emanating from her was so pure and impeccable. .... [Traveler, it seems youve witnessed an intangible clash of swords, ending with Aina coming out slightly worse for wear and retreating.] [Note: This is what you call a natural counter to the scheming type~ Damn Traveler, have you considered adding the cute antlered Lolita to your party? Then youd have a trump card against the Little Wolf Girl~] Goddamn character cards! This isnt some kind of collectible card game! [Traveler, seeing that their guard was lowered, you began asking Perrier about the nearby area, interesting places, and those that held legends.] [You sought to learn about the events that had occurred in this world in the past.] [Perrier simply smiled wryly and said he was just a man living in his own corner of the world and didnt know much.] [He said, "To the south there is a territory led by Count Ismure, an Elf Count. Its said that the environment there is very beautiful and known as Land of White Flowers, and further south lies a volcanic archipelago by the sea, an uninhabited area."] [Traveler, you looked up into the distance at the colossal tree hidden in the mists.] [That was the Eternal World Tree, the outline of emerald.] [So, should you head north, towards the Emerald City, or set off south from here?] ----- ----- Theres another Chapter tonight; this damn interview is finally over. Starting tomorrow, Ill try to return to updating 6000 words a day (the fox scored and ran off, still dont know the result, but Ive got a bad feeling about it.) Chapter 338 - 249 The Real Little Red Dragon Lolita (It’s Mommy!)_1 Chapter 338: Chapter 249 The Real Little Red Dragon Lolita (Its Mommy!)_1But it doesnt really matter where you go. In this kingdom ruled by elves, the elves, as the higher beings, discriminate against those with Mutation Syndrome even more than humans do, and they are unspeakably harsh even toward their own kind. Luo Xi didnt feel like going into any major towns right now. It was easy to imagine how murky those places could be, and how easy it was to get oneself trapped there. If something like what had happened in Winter City were to occur again, Luo Xi couldnt bear it; he couldnt count on being that lucky every time, having people like Hill and Liya to help him. Better to wander around, unlock the Hollow Flowers, and light up the map for real. If that doesnt work out, then just give up on the Emerald Forest region for now. Luo Xi could stick to the original plan and head south from the Shining Country to the Da Yan Empire. [Traveler, are you ready to leave this village?] [Perrier and his daughter accompany you to the entrance of the village] [However, just as you took a few steps, there was a rumbling in the sky] [You look up and see a large airship flying towards you, its prow engraved with the veins of a leaf, adorned with golden decorations] [The villagers in the village immediately panicked] ["What do we do? Thats an airship from the City of Yuye, isnt it?"] ["The trouble Feya stirred up is finally going to burn us now!"] ["I said from the start we shouldnt have let her stay."] [Perrier turned his head and looked around at the villagers, saying coldly, "All of you, get back to your houses!"] [All the villagers were startled, and within a dozen seconds, they all retreated into their homes] [The village, which had been somewhat lively, suddenly became empty, leaving only the sound of the airships propellers echoing in the village from above] [Perrier said to you, "Guests, do you want to leave immediately or take cover in the village for the time being? Theres not much time left, once the airship lands, you wont be able to leave."] [Traveler, whats your decision?] [ Leave] [ Stay and observe temporarily (for the sake of the Little Red Dragon Lolita )] Luo Xis mouth twitched. Could you remove the bracket at the end? Damn text, what are you adding randomly? [Note: But that is indeed the true thought of you, scrappy traveler!] Cut it out. Sarch* The n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Who do you think will believe that? [As the airship descended lower and lower, you made a snap decision to stay and observe the situation for now] [The girl with the Dragon Horn looked worriedly at her father] ["I entrust my daughter to your care for now."] [Perrier, while stroking his daughters head, smiled and said, "Daddy will be back soon, dont worry. What do you want for lunch? Daddy will make it for you, Little Lin."] Luo Xi: "..." Dont go raising flags, uncle. Even through the text, I can see the death omen flickering above your head. [Traveler, you entered Perriers home with Weier, Aina, and Little Lin, opening some windows to check the situation outside through them] ... Perrier stared solemnly at the slowly descending airship in the sky. This wasnt his first time seeing an airship. Such mechanical marvels, available only in large cities, required a massive amount of Essence Crystals as fuel, which ordinary people simply couldnt afford. But for the elves, with over ninety million humans serving as their labor force in the Emerald Forest, any family with a bit of influence would try by all means to obtain one. Even though using airships in the wilderness was very dangerous, for elves, it was a symbol of status. Every clan with their own name had at least one. The airship finally stopped at the outskirts of the village. From the opened hatch, a beautiful female elf with silver hair stepped out, tall and slender with a beautiful face. Her green boots matched with white stockings and long white legs could make any man unable to shift his gaze away for a moment. Perrier did the same. After glancing once, he forced himself to lower his head, not daring to cast his eyes on the elf lady anymore. The attitudes of these elves towards Variants were all the same; if he continued to stare, at best his eyes would be gouged out, at worst, he would lose his life. Perrier spoke respectfully, "Honorable elf miss, what brings you to our place?" The silver-haired elf ignored Perrier, instead sweeping a cold glance across the village then turning back to the airship, "We might have come to the right place. Traces of Silvios strength have been used here, and moreover, many people died here yesterday, or perhaps I should say they were killed by Silvios unique elf spellFingertip Sharp Wind." A flirty voice came from inside the airship: "Yes, yes, Ariana Miss Genius, deducing this place through some conditions. But whats left here are some Variant humans, the strongest of whom are only at Mutation Second-tier. That Variant elf who killed Silvio must have flit by now. What use is finding them?" Ariana said in a heavy voice, "The city guards said Silvio was called out by the message regarding the defiler spoken by two Variant humans. It suggests that these Variant humans might be connected to this matter." A mocking female voice came from inside the airship, "Then what does miss want to do?" Ariana said, "That lecherous guy Silvio dying is no big loss, but he must not be killed together by humans and a defiler. So for this area, just clear it out, shall we?" Perriers pupils dilated sharply. He hadnt expected that these elves would be even more domineering than the male elf from yesterdayright from the start, they wanted to clear out this place. "Honorable elf miss" The airship suddenly emitted a violent noise, its propeller spinning at high speed, and at the same time, the silver-haired elf leaped back into the cabin of the airship. The airship soared sharply, reaching a height of seventy to eighty meters, accompanied by a ground-shaking roar. Crimson patterns were being drawn at the bottom of the airship, creating a huge concentric circular runic array made up of countless different-sized circles and unknown symbols. Seconds later, a ten-meter-thick blaze of scorching flame breath erupted from the center of the array and descended toward the village. Perriers eyes revealed a bit of despair and outrage. It was not only a sense of helplessness against fate but also indignation at these elves who casually condemned their lives. At that moment, a figure with a leisurely pace swept past him and stood in front of him. Perrier looked on in disbelief. Who was this...? Black and red scales covered his body except for his face, broad wings, and a powerful dragon tail, which made him look like a fusion of dragon and human. On the ground, writhing black substance followed his movement, enveloping his body once more, making him look entirely like a pure black monster, with bright red flames surging up from his body. Then, he propelled himself upwards, colliding with the flame breath. In an instant, the shockwave from the rolling flames created a sea of fire clouds visible to the naked eye at about thirty meters in height. The Counterfeit God Tree in the village shook violently, with the protective barrier almost shattering on the spot. Inside that airship, an excited yet puzzled voice came through: "Are you an accomplice of the defiler?" "Lady Ariana, this person cannot be overcome by force, retreat!" "What are you saying? Im going to capture him and ask for my fathers blessing!" ... At the southernmost edge of the Emerald Forest. Where there should have been a coastline, a series of volcanoes of varying sizes rose, with molten lava erupting from their craters now and then. A giant dragon, hundreds of meters in length with black scales on its belly and red everywhere else, dozed off at the largest crater. Suddenly, she lifted her head, her golden vertical pupils gazing towards a certain direction. This feeling... After thousands of years, was the offspring who could inherit her bloodline finally about to be born? The dragons body gradually disappeared, turning into an ethereal play of light and shadows, and finally, a naked red-haired Little Dragon Lolita appeared on the edge of the crater. Lets go take a look. The child who might become her offspring. Chapter 339 - 250 Save me, Dragon Mama!（5800）_1 Chapter 339: Chapter 250 Save me, Dragon Mama!5800_1[Traveler, you see that the tall-legged, silver-haired elf doesnt wish to speak with Chief Perrier, turning instead to board the flying ship, which floats up into the sky.] [The bottom of the airship, with its intricate runes intertwined in a circle, forms a stunning pattern of arrays. The power and fiery Yuan Su fluctuations hidden within reach a level above middle Tier Four, based on your experience with controlling the Belgri Divine Treeenough to destroy this village protected by a Counterfeit God Tree in a single blow.] sea??h th N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Thats the peak strength level you could achieve with maximum control over the Belgri Divine Tree.] [Is there a Tier Four middle-level sublimated person on this airship?] [Traveler, you realize that this is a judgment imposed by higher beings onto the lower ones.] [Those elves intend to obliterate this placethey need no answers.] [As the saying goes, "Thunder and rain are graces from the lords above."] [The lower beings can only passively accept it.] [Note: It doesnt matter, the pathetic Traveler will intervene!] Luo Xi: "..." To hell with that. If the damn text is so capable, why doesnt it do something itself? Luo Xi quickly activates his Immersion Talent, which he can use only once more. He has been eager to experience his own battle power when exerting full effort. In reality, those so-called Black Danger Level Transcendents who attacked the park the day before yesterday had decent strength, but they only gave him the thrill of being unbeatable. After all, with just the help of Spark, he had the capacity to face a master like Rat King Nos, even while under the suppression of the restrictions of the Winter Divine Trees silence.] But as Liya said, Tier Four Transcendents arent that simple; every Tier Four has their own area of Sublimation and perhaps even high-tier techniques similar to Liyas exquisite Rune Skills. [Would you like to use the Talent: Immersion?] [Yes] [Please select the mode of the Talent you wish to trigger.] [Happiness] [You have spent 2000 Happiness Points.] [Immersion (Happiness): In this state, your character will receive a Strength boost of +200%, your Resistance to negative mental Skills will increase by +200%, and the duration of this talent can not exceed twenty minutes.] [Would you like to use the Skill: Dragonization Lv1?] [Yes] [Dragonization Skill is being used] [Traveler, welcome to the journey of dreams~] Luo Xis head lolls to the side as he lies on the bed. Shortly after Luo Xi enters a synchronizing state, his room door is gently knocked on, and Ai Xues voice comes from outside. "Senior, the Master Jiujian is downstairs. He says he needs to speak with you." "Senior?" After half a minute of no response from inside the room, Ai Xue pushes the door open and peers inside. Seeing Luo Xi sound asleep, she guesses the senior must have synced into the Dream world again. Ai Xue has learned from the Dreamland Travelers forum that a Divine Tree controller can freely sync in and out of the Dream world daily, and the senior must be having a great time with those two wolf-eared sister flowers in that world right now. (Annoyed.) Considering it, the cooldown for that strange cradle of his is probably about two days, and it seems like today hes going to that Wolf Eared Lolita. Last time, they couldnt understand each others language. This time, she will definitely make that Wolf Eared Lolita understand that she was the first sister to come! And she still has a promise with that Cat Lady. She wonders if Weier has mentioned any of this to her sister. Ai Xue gently closes the door. Based on her previous experiences, she estimates that the senior should be able to return in at most half an hour. She decides to go down and ask Master Jiujian what he wants to do. Downstairs, Master Jiujian strokes his beard and sips tea, his eyebrows raising when he hears from Ai Xue that Luo Xi has synced into the game again. "Is he still so diligent?" Luo Xi is a fine young man in all respects. But he is too hard on himself. After practicing swords with him for four hours this morning, he asked Luo Xi to rest a bit to prevent overexhaustion of his spirit, yet Luo Xi went exploring in the Dream world again. Ai Xue just wants to say to Master Jiujian that he doesnt understand the senior at all. Hes really enjoying himself in the Dream world with those sisters. Damn it, when can she get out of that ghost city? If this keeps on, the senior will have completed a world tour with them in the Dream world, and shell still be stuck in that ghost city. Master Jiujian, stroking his beard, speaks, "Then lets wait a bit more; my business isnt urgent." ... /// Weier watches the airship in the sky intently. The blinding concentric circles release Yuan Su fluctuations from the fierce fiery breath, utterly fierce and erratic. Can the Counterfeit God Trees Glory protect this village? It probably cant. What to do? "Cat Cat, take good care of yourselves and Little Deer Sister," Luo Xi whispers as he steps outside, the surging power in him reminding Weier of the dragonized state she had seen Luo Xi assume in another world. The dissolution and reformation of his shell are completed in mere seconds, and thus, the pitch-black Dragon Wings and the elongated Dragon Tail unfurl behind the young man. The intertwining of black and bright red flames over the heavy scales twines around his form, making him appear like a demon god emerging from the flames. Aina turns to look at her sister. Seeing her sisters lack of reaction, Aina immediately realizes she must have seen it before. Was it in that other world? Aina puffs up her cheeks. But just as she realizes she is the only one who has seen Brother Luo Xi in such a cute state, she feels somewhat happier. Chapter 340 - 250 Save Me, Dragon Mama! (5800) _2 Chapter 340: Chapter 250 Save Me, Dragon Mama! (5800) _2That was a secret only known to her and her brother, not to be shared with outsiders. "That brother is so cool!" Little Lins exclamation came from the side. Aina immediately turned around, alert, but on seeing Little Lins innocent face, the wariness in her heart dissipated. This child was just expressing her own true thoughts, right? A moment later, when Luo Xis tiny figure collided with the breath of flames falling from the sky, a deafening explosion echoed throughout the entire village. That spreading torrent of scorching heat instantly ignited all the surrounding trees. Aina stared at the figure standing in the dazzling firelight in the sky. And indeed, Brother Luo Xi was very handsome. If only she could grow up a bit more... ... Luo Xi fluttered his wings in the air, the surface of his body covered in black armor, glowed red-hot from the high temperature. The power of this strike was truly terrifying; Sparks defensive abilities were almost instantly drained of all the Yuan Su stored in the Furnace Core. If it werent for his Mutant Factors great resistance to fire-related abilities, hed probably have been roasted into a charred lump by now. Luo Xi flapped his wings, and the bright red flames beneath his feet turned into thrust, propelling him upward to the same height as the airship. The airships hatch opened again, and the silver-haired Elf jumped out, standing on the head of the airship and spoke coldly. "Are you the accomplice of that defiler? Surrender now! Ill make it quick for you!" Luo Xi: "..." Is this Elf brain-damaged or something? Didnt she see that I blocked their attack? Or is it that their attack was just a casual effort? With that thought in mind, Luo Xi put away his contempt. If there really was a Tier Four Transcendent inside the airship, they might all fall right here today. Unless he could lure the opponent to Belgri Towns territory. But the distance from here to the Hollow Flower was quite long, and the cooldown for Hollow Flower hadnt ended yet. If really necessary, Luo Xi would definitely choose to backtrack; after all, for him, the cost of trial and error was practically nil. Seeing no response from Luo Xi, the silver-haired Elf scoffed again, "Do you know who I am? I am the daughter of the City Owner of City of Yuye. How dare you, a lowly and inferior human, look at me like that?" Luo Xi: "..." Although the Elf was indeed very beautiful, with delicate features, a lofty bosom, and especially those long white legs, coupled with those disdainful eyes and extravagant attire, no cosplayer in reality could ever imitate her. "Master, Master!" Spark, in the form of a tiny elf, shouted angrily in front of Luo Xi, "Spark wants to beat up this arrogant woman! And then fill her up with Masters hot strength!" Luo Xi, with a full head of sweat, said, "Spark, where did you learn such weird things?" Spark spoke as if it were only natural, "Spark was born because of Master, so naturally, Spark learned them from Master." Enough already! When did I ever say such strange things! [Note: Void Traveler, no need to explain, a hentai life needs no disguise!] You climb! Seeing Luo Xi still hovering in mid-air, the silver-haired Elfs face gradually showed a hint of coldness. She turned her head and said, "Emei, activate the airships Destructive Cannon. This Variant human isnt a Tier Four Transcendent; he cant possibly withstand it." Another short-haired silver-haired Elf jumped out of the airship, trying to pull Ariana back inside. "Ariana, youre crazy! Thats your trump card given to you by your father in case you meet a high-tier Origin Beast in the wild. Its not meant to be used here!" "Let me go! I must reduce this human who dares to look down on me to ashes!" The two Elves tugged for a while before starting to scuffle on the airship. Luo Xi: "?" He began to wonder if he had wandered onto the wrong set. Why did all these Elves seem like ungrown little princesses, or like ones with underdeveloped brains and undeveloped cerebellums? It felt utterly absurd. Could it be that there wasnt a Tier Four sublimated person hiding in the airship? If that was the case... This good show was over, and now it was my turn. Luo Xi took out that rare-quality longsword from his Dreamland satchel which he got from the last trade. The swords name was Snowy Silver Wolfa silver-white longsword. Luo Xi infused Yuan Su into it and swung it towards the airship, throwing a streak of sword light. At the same time, a wolf-shaped sword light, along with the first one he swung, flew towards the airship. Silver Wolf Pursuit, one of the additional abilities of the Snowy Silver Wolf. A rare-quality weapon indeed wasnt at the same level as the excellent ones. Just as the two sword lights were about to hit the airship, they were blocked by a barrier, disintegrating into nothingness. Was it a Yuan Su barrier? [Ding! Talent: Sixth Sense has been activated.] At that moment, an intense sense of crisis emerged in Luo Xis mind, translating into a vision. Luo Xi saw himself being unavoidably hit by a gray beam of light sprayed from the front end of the airship. In his current state, armored in Spark and undergoing Dragonization, he had no resistance and would be swallowed whole. S~ea??h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Luo Xi could already picture the mocking expressions on their faces. These two silver-haired Elves had been acting since the beginning; they wanted to stall for time! It took him a second to realize this, and the next moment, bright red flames pushed him toward the airship. The silver longsword wrapped in scorching fire, and Sparks metallic liquid turned into the essence of runes, climbed onto the longsword, reinforcing it once again. Chapter 341 - 250 Save Me, Dragon Mama! (5800) _3 Chapter 341: Chapter 250 Save Me, Dragon Mama! (5800) _3"Cloudflow Flower-roll, Myriad Flowers Cloud Slice! Critical Strike!" The bright red orb of flames, wielding a sharp long sword, collided with the barrier in front of the flying vessel. The invisible barrier rapidly shrank under the pressure of tremendous strength, but the other side didnt need to block for long, just a few seconds would be enough. "Energy charging complete!" Ariana, her face flushed with excitement, pointed at Luo Xi who was still more than two meters away from her, and commanded. "Doomsday Cannon! Fire!" Consequently, the front end of the flying vessel opened, revealing a cannon mouth with a radius of several centimeters. A power that caused even the current Luo Xi to shudder, spilled out continuously. A gray light gathered within, subtly distorting the surrounding space and a large amount of black lightning surged around the cannons mouth! Then, the amassed strength shot out toward the oncomer in a blast! The cannon mouth, only several centimeters across, fired a gray beam of light several meters wide. Luo Xis body was pierced through in an instant, and as the beam continued to move forward and expand, it shattered several large mountains in its path before it disappeared into the distant horizon. Ariana watched as the air before her cleared and let out a light sigh of relief. She patted her chest and said, "Emei, youre the clever one, thinking to pretend we were arguing to attract his attention and stall for time. Otherwise, the forty-second charging time for the Doomsday Cannon would have been enough for him to escape or shatter our protection." "Ariana, dont do this again in the future." Emei, the short-haired elf, sighed and said, "Im afraid we wont be so lucky next time. Even your father made a lot of sacrifices to get a weapon of the Doomsday Cannons caliber for you, and it can only be used once. In the future..." "Lets worry about the future later." Ariana spoke casually, "Out with the old, in with the new. Things are meant to be used. Just tell my father that we had to use it to escape from the pursuit of a Lord-tier Origin Beast. Otherwise, I might be grounded by my old man for a long time." "Now, lets see how to deal with those Variant humans down there." Ariana looked down toward the village below. Since the Doomsday Cannon was aimed at that strange Variant, the village below hadnt been damaged, making her think of another way to clean it up again. But the Doomsday Cannon had drained all of the Essence Crystal reserves within the flying vessel. The only remaining power in the Essence Power reactor wasnt enough to execute Flame Breath Judgment again. Even if they forced it, they would likely have to walk back. In the wilderness like this, there was no place to find Essence Crystals. So, theyd have to go down and clear up themselves... Ariana blinked. What did she see? There in the village below, besides the man with the antlers theyd seen before, there was another man, one with a pair of dragon horns on his head. But wasnt he supposed to be dead under the Doomsday Cannon? Ariana swallowed hard. What was going on? Was it a person? Or a ghost? Her hands started to tremble uncontrollably. "Emei, start the flying vessel, were leaving!" Emei asked in confusion, "Are we leaving now? Werent you going to clear out this village?" "He, hes still alive!" Ariana jumped into the sky vessel and quickly pulled the power lever to the maximum, causing the propellers to spin at high speed. However, just as the flying vessel tried to move forward, a shattering sound that chilled her to the bone rang out. The sound of the propellers ceased abruptly. The flying vessel started to plummet at a rapid pace! "Whats happening?!" Emei screamed in terror as well. Both of them were daughters of high-ranking persons in the City of Yuye, always acting willfully. Even if they encountered a Lord-tier Origin Beast, they could easily escape, but this was the first time they faced such danger. They couldnt think straight at all. They even completely forgot that they had Third-tier strength. In some ways, these two elves were even less capable than Silvio from the day before. Boom! A few seconds later, with a loud crash, the flying vessel hit the ground! A silvery sword light cleaved open the vessels door, and the long sword stabbed straight at the two elves. Luo Xi didnt want any further complications. Who knew if the enemy had any more secret weapons? It was better to be direct and kill them with one thrust of the sword. That last hit had really made his back tingle with fear even now. After his death, he was directly knocked out of sync mode, but considering that the attack probably wouldnt reach the village below, he chose to resurrect at the previous node and restarted the only remaining ordinary synchronization module. Luo Xi had originally thought that there might be some big shot hiding inside the airship, but it turned out these two elves, aside from being equipped with such fearsome siege destruction weapons, were so weak and faint-hearted that it was painful to watch, just a pair of useless creatures. Now they were even hugging each other and crying. Luo Xi just wanted to say, whats there to cry about? Shouldnt those who kill be prepared to be killed? However, an unforeseen event occurred. Just as Luo Xis long sword was about to pierce the elfs body, it was caught by a hand. That was a male silver-haired elf with a green gemstone on his forehead, exquisitely handsome, with ears at least ten centimeters long, wearing a luxurious coat of gold and white dancing without wind, and emerald eyes concealing an authority that commanded respect without anger. The male elf glanced at Luo Xi, who was holding the sword, and then said to the two useless elves, "You two, this lesson should be enough for you to remember, right? After you return this time, you both will be confined for a year." S~ea??h the Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Father, Lord!" "Uncle!" The two useless elves looked up, and upon seeing the newcomer, they immediately became ecstatic. Using all his strength but still unable to pull out the Snowy Silver Wolf, Luo Xi had no choice but to abandon the sword and retreat, leaving some distance. Damn. Is this a case of striking the small to provoke the old? Picking on me because I cant call for help, huh? Damn text, Ive decided its you, come out and shatter this old thing! [Note: Garbage Traveler, () with that attitude of yours, still expecting us to help you, dream on!] "Spark." A black sphere much smaller than the previous black iron ball rolled to Luo Xis feet, and Sparks weak voice resonated in his mind. "Master... Spark needs a period of time to recover..." Although the essence of the rune armor is in its runes, once its form is destroyed, it still takes a certain amount of time to recover. Luo Xi picked up his hat from the sphere and put it on his head. He stared at the male elf on the airship. Now he really could rewind. The strength of this elf was far superior to his own. Perhaps it was on the same level as Liya, or even stronger. The male elf noticed Luo Xis gaze, turned his head towards Luo Xi, and his lips revealed a cryptic smile. Interesting, a Dragon Species Variant human who could resurrect after being killed by a destructive cannon? The male elf nodded slightly and said, "I am the City Owner of the City of Yuye, my name is Lire Eissenach. My daughter and niece have been taken care of by the gentleman, I wonder if the gentleman still has any of those clever tricks from before, let me have a look." "Maybe Ill let you go if I feel like it?" "No need." Luo Xi shook his head, then turned to look back at Perrier who was not far away, and raised his hand to point to his own head. Lets start over then. Having gone through multiple rewinds, he had become accustomed to this operation. But at this moment, an indescribable surge of anxiety welled up from deep within him. [Note: Trash Traveler, quick, call for Dragon Mama to save me!] Huh?! Lires expression also turned solemn. He looked up at the sky. A terrifying presence was heading their way. Who is it? Suddenly, a scorching wind brushed his face. Lire looked ahead with suspicion. Suddenly, the figure of a petite girl appeared before him, her head crowned with a cluster of Dragon Horns, Dragon Wings, and Dragon Tail on her back, her long red hair mingled with flames as if burning fiercely at all times! The girls crimson gold pupils were staring straight at him. Then, those wings slowly retracted, the flames turned into drifting sparks, and with a gust of wind, shattered into countless dazzling sparks that quietly faded away in their resplendent beauty! The heat centered around the girl blew sand and gravel into the air, all turning into charcoal ashes and vanishing without a trace. Lire became the primary target of that Critical Strike! What is this?! Chapter 342 - 251: Is the Trashy Traveler Ready to Experience Dragon Mama’s Love? _1 Chapter 342: Chapter 251: Is the Trashy Traveler Ready to Experience Dragon Mamas Love? _1Luo Xi: "0Q!" A figure of a petite girl with dragon horns suddenly appeared ahead, the very space that should have been invisible and intangible, now rippled like a shimmering lake due to high temperatures. The surging heat was almost enough to melt his body. Yet, upon detecting his presence, the heat seemed to deliberately avoid him, such that the village behind him suffered no damage at all. Vision under normal synchronization mode was not clear. But Luo Xi still clearly saw the petite dragon-horned girl standing in the midst of the flames, unaffected by either the heat that could reduce everything to cinders or the undulating ripples. After all, who would be hurt by their own power? She was clearly standing right there, yet she seemed so far away. Her clothes made of flaming red fire covered her vital parts, her attractive face was delicately unlike that of humans, and that red hair seemed to be eternally burning with magnificent flames, her tea-gold vertical pupils holding a cold gaze. Looking at the beautiful profile of the girl with dragon horns, Luo Xi inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity. Why did he feel like he had seen her somewhere before? [Note: Damn Traveler, have you forgotten your cute appearance after turning into the Little Red Dragon Lolita?] Luo Xi: "!" He rubbed his eyes and looked again. It did look quite similar! It even reminded Luo Xi of the seven parts similarity between Cat Cat and Big Cat Cat (Liya). Wait a minute, wasnt that appearance something the Damn Text made up?! [Note: Im not that idle! I dont believe you for a damn second! Luo Xi took a deep breath. So, this dragon-horned girl who suddenly appeared, could she also possess the "Black Abyss Flame Dragon" Mutant Factor within her? Did she specifically come to help him because she sensed his presence through the connection between their factors? He didnt doubt the Damn Texts earlier advice to call out Mama at all. After all, the Damn Texts actions and words were almost never serious. [Note: Trash Traveler, why not guess something even more daring?] Hmph, could it be that the Black Abyss Flame Dragon itself has come to find him? Thats a royalty-level dragon. How could it possibly come here just to find him for no reason? Meanwhile, while Luo Xi was feeling shocked and confused, Lire was already having a hard time. He was holding up a silver light screen, blocking all the strong winds blowing towards them, protecting his daughter and niece behind him. But the source flame fire, obviously higher than his tier level, was continuously eroding his defense. Lire tried to use the Elf spells to move away, but found that the space here was completely chaotic; he had also attempted to simply fly away, but the external pressure held him firmly in place. This alarmed Lire immensely. Even though he couldnt use the Divine Trees power outside of City of Yuye, he was a Peak Tier Four Transcendent, being blessed and acknowledged by the Elf Mother Tree and had been the City Owner for over eight hundred years; his strength ranked near the top throughout the entire Emerald Forest. Yet the power emanating from the dragon-horned girl had already surpassed the limits of his defense. Could she be a Tier Five Mutated Transcender who has stepped into the kingly realm that only Origin Beasts could enter with a human body? Past experiences told Lire that this was completely impossible. But it was happening right before his eyes. Otherwise, who could explain the dragon-horned girl in front of him that exuded such immense pressure without even making a move?! Ariana exclaimed in horror, "Father... Lord Father, what is that?" Emei also said weakly, "Uncle, maybe we should just go." "Both of you shut up!" Lire scolded his two good-for-nothing nieces and daughter. If it hadnt been for a thousand years that both he and his brother had only one daughter, he would have washed his hands of them today. Now theyve gotten themselves involved in such a dangerous situation. At that moment, the dragon-horned girl looked up at him. Although she was surrounded by burning flames, her tea-gold vertical pupils contained no warmth. A profound sense of death crept up from the depths of Lires soul. He was going to die! This was definitely a Tier Five being! Without the Mother Tree, he didnt even have a chance to resist! She was like an avatar of a royalty-level Origin Beast! An avatar? It occurred to Lire that some elders of the Elf Clan had mentioned that certain royalty-level Origin Beasts could take on human form; its just that they had no reason to do so. Lire looked over at the young man behind the dragon-horned girl. If that was the case, could it be that the Dragon Species Mutant Factor in his body originated from Lires body stiffened. In the instant his gaze shifted, the dragon-horned girl had already reached his side. The red flames on her body receded, and layers of red dragon scales rapidly grew on her, quickly covering her fair body and limbs, turning into her battle armor! Afterward, the expressionless dragon-horned girl threw a punch at him. "You!" Lire roared, channeling all his strength to try to block the punch. Transcendence realm. Elf SpellBarrier of Purity. He was, after all, a Tier Four peak Sublimation being; it was impossible for him to simply die to such an attack, even if the opponent was the incarnation of a Kingly Dragon creature! The tremendous force instantly flung Lire away along with parts of the structure of the flying ship, sending him soaring into the distant sky. The Dragon Horn girl tilted her head back, her red lips slightly parting, and in an instant, countless concentric circles began to overlap. A blazing pillar of flame, far larger than the Abyss Flame Judgment that Luo Xi had previously witnessed, shot up into the sky, completely engulfing the still airborne Lire and propelling him even further. Struggling to resist the flames at the edge of the sky, Lire saw that after the Dragon Horn girl unleashed that attack, she seemed to have no further intention of striking him, which brought him a slight sense of relief. He must quickly return to the City of Yuye. Yet he also remembered his niece and daughter still trapped in the half-destroyed flying ship. In Lires mind, the thought of going back to save them flickered for just a second. His daughter and niece seemed doomed. All that girl needed to do was to exhale, and she could turn them to ash. There was no saving them, farewell. He would have another child after returning. "???" [Mystical Travel] Lire decisively chose to use an Elf spell to teleport away. He resolved to not leave City of Yuye for one hundred, no, two hundred years! Not until the next child was born! ... sea??h th ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Weier, Aina, and Little Lin were all squeezed at the doorstep, looking towards the battlefield. The battles situation changed so rapidly that they couldnt keep up. First, Luo Xi blocked the flying ships attack, then he was killed by the flying ships grey light cannon, Luo Xi resurrected and took down the flying ship, and that powerful male Elf appeared, making Weier think they might have met their match this time. She was ready to throw out several precious scrolls her mother had given her all at once. Unexpectedly, a red-haired Dragon Horn girl suddenly fell from the sky, sending that seemingly very powerful Elf flying with a few punches. Ainas tea-gold eyes were also filled with surprise. The face of that Dragon Horn girl... wasnt it similar to how Brother Luo Xi looked the last time he turned into a girl in that world? Although they were not completely the same, there were substantial resemblances. For instance, their brows and eyes were nearly identical. And, the scent. The scent emanating from both their bodies, fundamentally, seemed to originate from the same source. How did Brother Luo Xi get to know such an impressive girl? Weier murmured softly, "Shes so powerful." Only with such strength could one guarantee the ability to travel freely across this continent, right? Then, Weier saw the Dragon Horn girls figure blur, and the next moment she appeared beside Luo Xi, reaching for his body. "No good!" Weier immediately wanted to rush out. Although this Dragon Horn girl had helped them, they still didnt know her true intentions. However, just as Weier took a step forward, the other party seemed to sense something. Her cold, tea gold eyes looked over, causing Weiers legs to go weak, her body trembling uncontrollably. Aina tightly grasped Weiers hand, sensing the danger as well. Little Lin, standing nearby, was so scared that she dared not lift her head, and Perrier, outside, was also deeply bowing her head. This was a reverence for the powerful. Next, Weier and Aina watched as Luo Xi was seized by the Dragon Horn girls hand on his shoulder. The girl unfurled her Dragon Wings behind her back, fluttered them slightly, and in a blink, disappeared without a trace. In the air, only the burnt stench of scorched earth and vegetation lingered. Weier and Aina stared blankly at the empty entrance to the village. Where did he go? Their Luo Xi, who was so significant to them, where was he? Anxiety immediately rose in Weiers heart. Previously, Luo Xi said he wouldnt die, and he had proven that, so she could watch him do seemingly suicidal things with peace of mind. But this time, he had completely vanished! Could he still come back? If he couldnt return, what should they do? That red-haired Dragon Horn girl didnt seem easy to deal with; what if she did something to that weirdo... Aina tugged at Weiers hand, saying, "Sister Weier, there seems to be Elves inside that flying ship, we should go check first?" Weier couldnt help but say, "Aina, didnt you see Luo Xi getting kidnapped?" "I saw." The Little Wolf Girl murmured with her head down, "But Aina doesnt have any way to save Brother Luo Xi, that girls too strong. If she really wanted to do that to my brother, I could only stand by and watch." Weier: "..." In her memory, this was the first time Aina had ever backed down, right? Aina then said firmly, "But one day, Aina will become powerful, and then shell lock Brother Luo Xi up at home!" ... Luo Xi looked bewildered at the red-haired Dragon Horn girl, who was carrying him in flight. He tried to break free, but was completely immobile. [Note: Scrappy Traveler, are you ready? Come and enjoy Dragon Mamas love!] Damn Text, dont tell me this girl is really that Black Abyss Flame Dragon! Chapter 343 - 252 She Really Wants to be My Mom!_1 Chapter 343: Chapter 252 She Really Wants to be My Mom!_1The girl with the dragon horns flew at an incredibly fast speed. Almost immediately after Luo Xi spotted something on the distant horizon, the next moment the girl had taken Luo Xi there, and then proceeded to travel the same way to even more remote locations. It was less like flying and more like blinking across the sky at a speed that Luo Xi could not comprehend, somewhat resembling a teleportation ability; however, the frequency of use and the distance covered each time were astonishingly high, as if she had an infinite reserve of Yuan Su. Luo Xi had no idea what the girl wanted to do with him. Of course, fear was nonexistent. After all, death was not an option for him, but Luo Xi was a bit concerned about Cat Cat and Aina back in the village. If he hadnt seen it wrong, the two female Elves with silver hair should still be alive. The miss dragging him around probably didnt consider those two a threat at all. [Note: Trash Traveler, calm down; your two beast-eared girls dont become helpless without you. Theyve been living on their own in Grey Stone Street for three years now. Theyre stronger than you~] Luo Xi: "..." It struck a nerve. But it was indeed true. Not to mention Aina, Weier was only 18 years old by real-world standards. When Luo Xi was 18, he had just graduated from high school and started a summer job. At that time, he was foolish enough to trust a shady intermediary and got scammed out of several hundred yuan. In this regard, those two mature and sensible sisters were indeed much stronger than him. Weier still had many scrolls drawn by Liya on her. Dealing with those two Elves should be no problem at all. Plus, they were unlikely to continue staying in that dangerous village, knowing they couldnt die, at most unsure when they would return. If he didnt return for a long time, the two of them would probably use the Hollow Flower to get back to Belgri Town. Luo Xi had also left a cradle in his Belgri manor. Calculating the time, the cradle and the nests cooldown would refresh around one to two oclock this afternoon. This was another method they could use to contact each other. With that thought in mind, Luo Xis previously anxious mood eased a lot. He looked up at the girl with the dragon horns dragging him along and felt the strange connection lurking inside him. His expression gradually became bizarre. Is this for real? Was this girl truly transformed from that Black Abyss Flame Dragon? Luo Xi had seen the Black Abyss Flame Dragon in a dream. How did that violent, fierce, domineering Red Dragon turn into this? Into a delicate and cute Little Red Dragon Lolita... And, for the Origin Beast associated with the Mutant Factor to personally seek him out and kidnap a human infected with the factor... No matter how you look at it, its outrageous! [Note: Trash Traveler, doesnt this fit your aesthetic? Kidnap this Red Dragon Mama too. Compared to your mother-in-law whose whereabouts you still dont know, this is a new powerful leg to cling to!] Who would dare to do that! Luo Xi had witnessed the girl beat up the Elf City Owner of City of Yuye. The strength of that city owner may not be much less than Liyas. But she was simply thrown away with one punch. They were not on the same level at all. Luo Xi checked the remaining time of this synchronization. About twenty minutes left. As he estimated how much longer they needed to fly, the girl with the dragon horns slowed down and began descending towards the ground with him. The two of them flew for roughly two minutes. Luo Xi looked back. The silhouette of the Emerald World Tree hidden in the mist seemed increasingly distant, and he suspected that they had traveled nearly a thousand kilometers in these two minutes. Such speed was indeed terrifying. Below was a volcanic mountain range emitting white smoke everywhere, dotted with large and small volcanic craters. The acrid smell of sulfur assaulted his nostrils; molten lava churned continuously within the volcanoes, ready to erupt at any moment, with some already oozing magma. Further ahead was a vast, blue ocean, so calm it seemed like a mirror, not the tumultuous sea that Luo Xi remembered. The ocean and the volcanic landscape formed a stark contrastone dynamic, the other still. Luo Xi recalled someone on the Epic Journey Ranking saying "dont go into the sea." Was there something hidden in the ocean? Needless to say, he knew the High Sky tens of thousands of meters above was not a place for people to play. When they were about a hundred meters from the ground, the girl suddenly released her grip, allowing Luo Xi to fall towards the ground. Luo Xi quickly adjusted his body and settled neatly at the edge of a volcanic crater. A warmth that made him incredibly comfortable flowed from the volcano into his body. Mm~ Due to the comfort, Luo Xi involuntarily moaned. [Ding! You have unlocked the region: Flame Mountain Volcano Group] [Ding! You have unlocked the region: Ocean (The southernmost part of Emerald Forest)] [Ding! Your Factor Concentration has increased by 0.3 percentage points] [Current Factor Concentration: 5.51%] The increase in Factor Concentration was expected. After all, he had used the Dragonization skill. Even Resurrection could not erase the fact that he used Dragonization. Sigh A warm breeze blew in. In a flash, the girl with the dragon horns appeared before him. At this moment, she had shed the flames and red scales that had wrapped her during the fight, leaving only her striking crimson hair cascading down to her waist. Her fair and delicate skin, even under this blurred synchronic vision, allowed one to see some important parts, and her pair of pristine proud features were nothing like the flatness Luo Xi had initially imagined. [Ding! Your Happiness Level +10] [Note: Trash Traveler, this is your Red Dragon Mother youre looking at, you cant be peeping!] Where did this Red Dragon Mama come from, Damn Text, scram! Even for an Origin Beast, humans capable of activating the Mutant Factor were considered their offspring, but Luo Xi still didnt want to acknowledge the sudden appearance of a mother out of the blue. This was just too weird! The dragon horn girl stared intently at Luo Xis face. Luo Xi forcibly restrained himself from looking down and instead gazed into the girls face, where the icy coldness in her reddish-gold dragon pupils had faded, replaced by a curiosity for the unknown. A crisp and pleasant voice rang directly in Luo Xis mind. "My child, when did you obtain my bloodline power?" Luo Xi: "!" She spoke! Is this what a High-tier Origin Beast is like? Not only can they anthropomorphize, but they can also speak. [Note: Damn Traveler, thats why it doesnt matter whether you become a dragon or a human, in the end, you can still change back anyway~] Thats not the same thing at all! Whether fundamentally human or dragon, its quite important to Luo Xi. Luo Xis lips moved slightly as he tried to speak, and then he saw the girl in front of him embrace him tightly, her soft body pressed against him, her fiery warmth penetrating his clothes and into his body. [Ding! Your Happiness Level +20] [Note: Damn Traveler is about to get shafted, how wonderful!] How wonderful my ass! Im screwed! Sarch* The N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Could it be that this girl, possibly transformed from the Black Abyss Flame Dragon, actually intends to force that thing on him? Luo Xi thought uneasily, but the scenario that only appears in adult comics didnt happen; the dragon horn girl seemed to be just hugging him, feeling something. That crisp and pleasant voice echoed in his mind once more. "Throughout the long years, no creature has been able to bear my power. How can your frail body do so, and even perfectly assimilate it?" Luo Xi just wanted to say how should I know. Youll have to ask the damn text about that. The Variant talent was also force-fed to him by the damn text in the first place. "I dont know why." Luo Xi said quietly, "Um, could you put on some clothes first? And who exactly are you?" Although he already had an answer in mind, Luo Xi still wanted confirmation from the other party. "Me? I am the source of the bloodline power within you. And clothes? Do you mean those useless things you wear? I remember collecting some before." The dragon horn girl frowned slightly, released her hold on Luo Xi, and then, out of nowhere, produced a box and opened itinside were many clothes piled up together. She casually picked one and began to dress in front of Luo Xi. Luo Xi was somewhat surprised. Gauging from her tone, it seemed like it was her first time dressing, yet she did it with a proficiency as though she had done it countless times before. The girl wore a pure black gown that matched her petite figure perfectly, adorned with exquisite patterns and layers of lace ruffles, yet the front pushed out an expanse of snow-white that belied her small stature. Stretching down were white stockings that wrapped around her calves, their texture fine and smooth, unseen in the Shining Country and comparable to the real-world knee-high white stockings. Luo Xis face was full of question marks. Whats the deal with this Red Dragon Lady? Is she really that Black Abyss Flame Dragon? And what exactly is the reason for bringing him here? It couldnt possibly be just to show him how she dresses, could it? "Is this acceptable?" The girl looked up at Luo Xi, her face brimming with a maternal smile. She said, "You are the only offspring that has inherited my bloodline power whom Ive waited thousands of years for, not some lowly creature eroded into mindlessness. Whatever you request, I will do my best to satisfy." "Until you have fully digested all the bloodline power, stay here. I will protect you well and not let you encounter such danger as before." Luo Xi: "(((;???;)))!" Fuck, she really does think of me as her son! [Note: Damn Traveler, this is the greatness of a mothers love!] ... Weier said to Perry, "Do you want to come with us? This village is no longer safe, we come from a faraway place where Mutant Patients face no discrimination." Perry didnt quite believe Weiers words. Is there really such a place in the world? And even if there is, how long would the journey take? "Not too long." Weier said softly, "Its just a matter of three or four more hours." "Well wait here for him, and if he doesnt come back by then, well head out first." Aina asked from the side, "Sister Weier, what about these two elves?" "They..." Weier glanced at the corner where two useless Elves were bound by the power of a scroll, hugging each other and shivering. She wanted to say just kill them outright. But these were Elves. A sight never seen before. Perhaps they hold substantial research value. Why not take them back for now? Decide what to do with them later. After all, that guy Luo Xi probably wouldnt be interested in these tailless and earless Elves... Chapter 344 - 253: The Motherly Red Dragon Mother_1 Chapter 344: Chapter 253: The Motherly Red Dragon Mother_1Question: What do you do when a girl who has very likely transformed from a dragon of royal stature forcibly kidnaps you to raise as her child? Answer: I suggest from now on you lie back and thoroughly enjoy the warm embrace of the Red Dragon Lolita Mama. You can even go ing ing ing and act coquettishly~ Damn it, acting coquettishly my foot! This is a dragon were talking about! Luo Xi felt like his whole being was going numb. This development was completely beyond his expectations. His initial idea was just to casually explore the Emerald Forest, unlock a new map, and ponder which direction to develop in afterward. He didnt expect that he would have barely arrived when he got into a fight with a group of elves and then, without any explanation, got kidnapped by this Dragon Lady. [Note: The kidnapper has finally been kidnapped! This is the price for luring a beast-eared Lolita!] Luo Xi: "..." He has never kidnapped anyone, okay! Weier and Ainas travels with him, thats called adventuring, not kidnapping! The Dragon Horn girl is now looking at him with a motherly smile, a gaze that made him recall the mother from his elementary school days... she wasnt too terrible to him back then. Luo Xi shook his head vigorously, casting out this strange idea of familial recognition. Hang on, do all you Origin Beasts casually pick up children like this? Ive never heard of any other Origin Beasts kidnapping people because theyve been infected with their Mutant Factor outside and then deciding to raise them as their own children. [Note: Garbage Traveler, is it possible she wants more than just to raise you as her child?] Luo Xi: "..." Anyway, this situation is way too bizarre! Seeing Luo Xi with a dazed expression, the Dragon Horn girl tilted her head and her crisp voice echoed in Luo Xis mind. "Right now, you still possess that inferior human body. Do you need me to deepen the Strength of your bloodline again? That should allow you to break through the shackles of your bloodline in a short time. Of course, your Strength wont increase too fast, youll need to integrate and adapt to your bloodline yourself." "No, no, no!" Luo Xi hastily said, "That wont be necessary." Kidding me, his rate of Mutation was already rapid enough, with each skill activation adding just a point or so. Cat Cat and the others hadnt deepened their Factor Concentration by much even over dozens of years. Even if after a complete Dragonization he could retain human reasoning, or even transform back into human form like this girl, his essence had changed. Would he still be the same person he was before? Luo Xi didnt yet fully understand these philosophical dilemmas. Nor did he wish to continue down the Mutation path indefinitely. With so many Divine Trees in this world, surely he could find a Sublimation path that suited him, right? "Hmm." The Dragon Horn girl gave a beautiful smile as her voice resonated by Luo Xis ear. "A long time ago, I thought that maybe one day I could find an existence connected to my bloodline, so I wouldnt feel so lonely anymore. But over the years, that idea gradually withered. Two hundred years ago, I stopped releasing bloodline factors altogether. Your appearance to me is a miracle." She lifted her hand, wanting to stroke Luo Xis face. Luo Xi instinctively wanted to dodge, but realized he had no room to escape. This was the mothers concern for her child. If he chose to dodge, it would mean he rejected this relationship. What the consequences would be, Luo Xi wasnt clear. But he immediately realized that if he did, this Dragon Horn girl would probably be very sad, wouldnt she? For some reason, deep down he didnt want to see that happen. So, Luo Xi let the delicate hand touch his face. The girl gently caressed Luo Xis not entirely smooth cheek, her red-gold, vertical pupils overflowing with an emotion called joy, and she said with a firm tone by Luo Xis ear, "You are my child! From now on, I will take on the responsibility of protecting you until you grow up healthy!" Luo Xi: "...." [Note: Garbage Traveler, at this point, you might as well succumb to Dragon Mama Lolita or perhaps just restart, and never come to the Emerald Forest again?] Backtracking might be doable. But Luo Xi couldnt possibly stay away from the Emerald Forest forever. Moreover, if he hadnt come today, Perrier, his daughter, and the entire village would have been destroyed by those two elves. Luo Xi didnt see himself as someone overflowing with kindness, but he definitely wouldnt stand by and watch good people die helplessly if he was able to help. This Dragon Horn girl had probably come over after sensing the Mutant Factor in him when he used the Dragonization skill. Not knowing whether the Confused Mountain Range could block her senses, any time he used the Dragonization skill outside, there was a chance she would discover him. Sear?h the ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Luo Xi slowly adjusted his breathing. Regardless, he had to make things clear with this Dragon Horn girl. Her wanting to be his mother was one thing. But to keep him bound by her side was another matter. Luo Xi said softly, "I have lots of friends waiting for me to return, so Im sorry, but I cant stay here with you all the time." The Dragon Horn girl was momentarily taken aback, the red-gold of her vertical pupils dimming slightly. Contrary to what Luo Xi expected, she didnt display either a domineering attitude or strength; she simply lowered her head, her small dragon horns and red hair tilting towards Luo Xi, bringing with them a pleasant and unusual fragrance. A voice tinged with apology rang out in his mind. Chapter 345 - 253: The Extremely Maternal Red Dragon Mother_2 Chapter 345: Chapter 253: The Extremely Maternal Red Dragon Mother_2"Sorry, I forgot that youre still human." "The bonds of humanity are very precious memories while one is human. I deeply understand this. Although the long passage of time may cause us to forget past events, sometimes recalling a shard of memory can be enough to console me, as if returning to the very beginning." "So, I should not forcefully strip you of what you have now as a human. Otherwise, in the distant future, you will lose many of your own memories and become a soulless zombie." Luo Xi: "?" He didnt mishear, did he? This Dragon Lady is so easy to talk to? Arent you a Red Dragon? Arent the tempers of Red Dragons supposed to be extremely explosive? Luo Xi was a soft-hearted person. If this Dragon Horn girl was determined to keep him here, even going so far as to threaten his life, perhaps he would choose to rewind this day and start over if he absolutely had to. But her melancholic tone made Luo Xi feel somewhat heartbroken. Moreover, there seemed to be something important revealed in the Dragon Ladys words. What did she mean by she also deeply understands? S~ea??h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Could it be that she used to be human too? Suppressing his curiosity, Luo Xi tentatively asked, "So, can I leave now?" "Not yet." The Dragon Horn girl shook her head: "Not yet, because you are too weak. If you encounter a situation like before, you could die at any moment, and I dont want to see you die like that." Luo Xi: "...." So, youre still not letting me go? He moved his lips and asked, "Then what should I do? Is there a way to quickly increase my strength?" Luo Xi wasnt ready to tell this Dragon Lady he had only just met about his identity as a Traveler and his unique traits. However, if she had a way to make him stronger, Luo Xi was willing to interact with her a bit longer. Even... calling her "mom" or something wasnt out of the question. [Note: Oh Traveler, you truly embody the word garbage to the fullest!] Its called going with the flow! And to some extent, this Red Dragon Lolita was quite beautiful. If he could pet her a few times, his Happiness Level would surely shoot up... cough, what am I thinking, this is a king-tier dragon! The Dragon Horn girl still shook her head: "I dont know... Unless, forcibly enhance the fusion level of your bloodline, fully activating the power within." Luo Xi waved his hand: "Lets forget about that." The Dragon Horn girl said, "Hmm, I wouldnt do that. Doing so would only harm your potential. Since you dont want to abandon everything you have as a human, I have another method. From now on, you can stay nearby. If anything happens, Ill come over immediately." "Nearby?" "Yes, nearby." Luo Xi: "." How nearby is that? Joking right? Im someone who plans to traverse the entire Dream World, how can I be confined to such a small place? I need to find a way to persuade this Red Dragon Lady to change her mind. Or perhaps change the approach. Not to keep me here, but for you to come with me? No sooner had the thought crossed his mind than it began to take root and grow rapidly. What a great idea! Anyway, this place seems desolate and empty. The Black Abyss Flame Dragon must be quite bored here, so why not venture out into the world? Itd be much better. [Note: Garbage Traveler, you actually want to kidnap Dragon Mama now, thats so like you!] If I could really abduct a king-tier dragon and bring her back... However, when Luo Xi voiced this idea, the Dragon Horn girl quickly shook her head. She glanced back at the calm, waveless sea in the distance and said, "I cannot leave here for long. If I do, those things in the sea will emerge, crawl onto this land, and besides, I had a pact to guard this place until the moment of death, unless someone can take over my duties." Take over her duties... Luo Xis mouth twitched. Wait, was the reason the Dragon Horn girl was so happy to find him not only because he was the only one who perfectly matched her Mutant Factor after so long, but also because she saw someone who could replace her at work? No way! Thats like being imprisoned for sure. Seemingly sensing what Luo Xi was thinking, the Dragon Horn girls vertical pupils focused on his face as she shook her head and smiled, "I wont make you replace me. I never thought about that. I just wanted someone to talk to, thats all." Luo Xi couldnt help but say, "If you just want someone to talk to, arent there many people in this world?" The Dragon Horn girl smiled wistfully, "When you reach the end of bloodline metamorphosis, perhaps youll understand the loneliness of being the only individual in the whole world." "What about the other dragons?" "They are either food or opponents to fight when we see each other, and those I admire." Luo Xi: "..." He remembered seeing the Black Abyss Flame Dragon in his dream, devouring the Black Dragon to ascend in tier. "Am I not food?" he asked. The girl looked at him strangely, "Why would you be food? You are my child." [Note: Such deep mother-son affection o(ini)o, shedding tears~] Damn it, Damn Text, youre enjoying this show way too much. Did you even pay me for a ticket! Chapter 346 - 253: The Extremely Maternal Red Dragon Mother_3 Chapter 346: Chapter 253: The Extremely Maternal Red Dragon Mother_3Luo Xi thought it over and decided to speak plainly, "Although Im deeply touched by your concern, I came here from the other side of the Confused Mountain Range, so I need to go back there." "The other side of the Confused Mountain Range?" S~ea??h the ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The dragon horned girl suddenly looked shocked and suspicious, and at the same time, her black dress fluttered wildly in the wind. She, however, paid it no mind, as if the concept of shame didnt apply to her. She grabbed Luo Xis shoulders and said, "Impossible, you cannot cross that mountain range with your current strength! And there are no shortcuts or tunnels through the mountains either!" Luo Xi said, "I came here through the Hollow Flower." The girl was taken aback, "The Hollow Flower? But that has withered long ago..." Luo Xi calmly stated, "I can use the Hollow Flower." The girls eyes lit up, "Are you telling the truth?" "Yes," Luo Xi nodded. The dragon horned girl turned and looked towards the volcanos crater, standing thoughtfully for a moment before vanishing in an instant. Luo Xi: "!" Where did she go? A moment later, a fierce gale blew past, and a massive object blocked the sunlight shining down from the sky. It was the giant Red Dragon Luo Xi had once seen in his dreams, its crimson scales covering its body, with some parts near the abdomen being pitch black. The red scales made a metallic friction sound as the wings flapped. This was indeed the Tier Five king-tier Origin Beast from the Red Dragon Species, the Tier Five king, the Black Abyss Flame Dragon! The appearance of that red-haired dragon horned girl was just her avatar! The head of the Black Abyss Flame Dragon slowly lowered, those huge, vertical, reddish-gold pupils looking at him, and a voice deeper and clearer than before rang in Luo Xis ears once again. "Child, come up." Luo Xi: "?" [Note: Celebrate! This traveler from the Otherworld, the close friend of small animals, and master at wooing beast-eared Lolitas, is today to become a Dragon Rider!] Damn Text, youre definitely implying something with Dragon Rider! Luo Xi was not the type to hesitate. He had figured it out; with the attitude of the Black Abyss Flame Dragon towards him, as long as he didnt court death, then it was unlikely that anything bad would happen. If anyone dared to attack him at this moment, that would truly be courting death. This was the power at a king level. Liya didnt possess such strength; she had only reached the level of a Grandmaster in the domain of Rune Skills, which gave her the ability to contend with a Tier Five sublimated person. [Note: Now that you have a mama, you despise the mother-in-law, Lord. Trash Traveler, you really are a scumbag who gets tired of the old and loves the new~] Goddamn getting tired of the old and loving the new, that term isnt supposed to be used here! Luo Xi looked at the synchronization time for this session. There were still sixteen minutes left. Then lets see what this Dragon Mama wants to do with him. Luo Xi leapt up forcefully, grabbing onto one of the horns on the Red Dragons head, climbed up, and finally stood on top of her head. "Where to?" "Hold on tight. Next, Im going to take you deep into the heart of this great volcano. The temperature in the center of the volcano is very high, and with your current ability, you would still get burnt. At the very bottom, there are even stranger things, so you need to hold on to mama tightly!" Luo Xi: "." This dragon had already started calling herself his mother. A strong gravitational acceleration suddenly pressed down on Luo Xi. The hundred-meter-long Red Dragon soared into the sky, flew up a thousand meters, then plunged towards the ground, diving straight into the largest volcano crater with Luo Xi in tow. Luo Xi watched as the scorching magma got closer and closer to him. Ultimately, before the heat enveloped him, both he and the Black Abyss Flame Dragon entered the massive volcano. The magma did not touch him but was pushed aside by a barrier-like force that also absorbed the heat. The deeper they dove, the brighter and hotter the magma became until suddenly, the smell of the sea with a chilly coolness hit his nostrils. The voice of the dragon below him reached Luo Xis ears. "Weve arrived." He lifted his gaze and looked ahead. Outside the barrier was no longer magma, but a deep blue-black sea. Within the sea, many fiery red clusters of light could be seen, which were likely volcanoes; their magma reacted with the seawater, casting down countless points of light like a meteor shower. [Ding! You have unlocked a new area: The Bottom of the Ocean] [Gentle Reminder: You have arrived at a region completely beyond the control of the Great Will. Death here prevents resurrection at the previous node, and your account will temporarily be suspended for three days.] Account suspension after death? No wonder that person on the worlds epic journey leaderboard advised against sailing the seas rashly. Luo Xi looked around. Suddenly, it seemed as if he saw a face in the deep sea. It was a pale face, floating in the water. In an instant, an indescribable sense of panic pervaded his entire body, from his flesh to his brain, to his soul, as if slowly being encased in ice. Fortunately, warmth flowed to him from the Dragon Horn he was holding and the Dragon Scales under his feet, scattering the icy chill within him. Luo Xi took hurried breaths of air. He looked down and asked, "What was that? Why did you bring me here?" "In the past, this place was teeming with many forms of life." The Black Abyss Flame Dragon walked along the seabed with Luo Xi, speaking into his ear. "Originally, the ocean was governed by the three Eternal Divine Trees. Tides controlled the oceans rise and fall as well as the currents, Void shaped the differences in elevation between land and sea and provided channels for traversing the vast ocean, and Youth provided the sea that filled the entire world. But since the destruction of those three Divine Trees, the ocean has become a forbidden zone." "Only beings of extreme power can withstand the erosive pressure and reach the depths of the sea." "Look, there it isthe Hollow Mother Flower you were talking about." The Black Abyss Flame Dragon stopped, and Luo Xi followed the direction of her head, seeing a huge flower floating ahead in the waters. It looked exactly like the Hollow Flowers he had seen before, only ten times bigger. [Ding! OriginVoid (Fragment) detects the presence of a Hollow Flower within a 300-meter radius] "Can you use it?" "..." Luo Xi felt Red Dragons tone filled with anticipation. Why did she get so excited when she heard he could use a Hollow Flower? Luo Xi couldnt guess. Luo Xi said, "I need to get closer and take a look first." "Mhm." The path under the sea seemed near, but each step taken felt far. Red Dragon walked with Luo Xi for several minutes, struggling to advance only about three hundred meters through the water. She explained, "Mom cant make too much noise, or it will attract the attention of those big guys from afar." Luo Xi: "Could you not refer to yourself as my mother? It feels so weird." "But I am your mother. All the power you have now comes from my bloodline factors." "Bloodline factors dont mean blood relation, right?" "Unless one day you can remove those bloodline factors from your body, I am your mother!" Luo Xi: "..." A dragon so keen on being a mother, truly a rarity. If you told others about this, who would believe it? Luo Xi looked at the huge Hollow Flower now within reach. He reached out and touched it. [Would you like to use the power of OriginVoid (Fragment) to activate this Hollow Mother Flower?] [Yes] [Activation failed. The surrounding environment is extremely hostile, and the current [OriginVoid] is insufficient to activate the Hollow Mother Flower.] "...Sorry, it didnt work. This cant be used," he said. "Is that so?" A somewhat regretful voice came from the Red Dragon below. "This was the last Hollow Flower used when Mom was still human, eight thousand years ago." "I kind of want to go back and see. That country is probably gone by now, isnt it?" Luo Xi: "!!!" Chapter 347 - 254 - Let’s Follow the Adorable Red Dragon Lolita Mom!_1 Chapter 347: Chapter 254 - Lets Follow the Adorable Red Dragon Lolita Mom!_1Eight thousand years? This black Abyss Flame Dragon has actually lived for eight thousand years! To know that Xia country, with its recorded civilization up to now, is only just over five thousand years old! Do all Origin Beasts have such lengthy lifespans? The Red Dragon seemed to sense the astonishment of Luo Xi above her, and she laughed lightly, "When you, child, have completely completed your transformation, you too will obtain such a prolonged life. Unlike the tiny and fragile body of a human, we have truly evolved and transcended in the essence of life. Monarch-level beings can live for ten thousand years, and those above them, the Lords of the Abyss, have lifespans that are almost infinite." "Many humans stumble on the path of seeking Sublimation, but who says that the mutation of their bloodline is not another form of Sublimation? Its just that too many people cant bear that overwhelmingly transcendent power." "For example, with mothers bloodline factor, thus far only you have merged it so perfectly. Mother has spent over five thousand years, gone through many life-and-death ordeals to have the strength she has now, and you just need to slowly develop, merge, adapt, and you will grow countless times faster than mother." "My child, mother is waiting for the day you transform." The voice of the Abyss Flame Dragon was filled with expectation. Luo Xi just wanted to say he didnt want that kind of thing! If he completely turned into a dragon, considering the synchronization of soul and essence changes between the Dream world and reality, wouldnt he also become a dragon in reality? [Note: Hehe~ After becoming a dragon and returning to human form, you can freely choose and reshape your appearance, Damn Traveler. You could transform into your favorite Little Lolita (???)~] Luo Xi: "!" He had always been worried about whether that Damn Text had any other ways to trick him besides that Dream Trading Platform. So you were waiting for me here! "Since we cant use the Hollow Mother Flower, lets go up then; its not good to stay here for too long." The Red Dragon spoke, then her wings flapped through the water, pushing aside countless amounts of sea water. The tremendous thrust carried Luo Xi upwards. The commotion caused by the Red Dragon this time was huge; in that moment, Luo Xi felt a chilling will emanating from the distant deep sea. However, the Red Dragon was quick; shortly after, she entered the glowing volcanic vent in the deep sea, taking Luo Xi upwards. After a dozen seconds, accompanied by the violent eruption of lava and the earthquake shaking the earth, the hundred-meter-long giant dragon reappeared above the volcanic cluster, reaching the sky about a kilometer high. Luo Xi took deep breaths of fresh air, holding tightly to the edge of the Red Dragons Dragon Horn, looking towards the sea, his pupils suddenly contracted. [Ding! Your Fear Value +99!] The previously calm sea had suddenly given rise to a mysterious entity, several hundred meters tall, formed from water. This entitys surface seemed to be mixed with countless limbs. Huge purple-black sticky tentacles emerged from its body, waving continuously towards the sky, with many aiming fiercely towards Luo Xi! What on earth is that abomination?! Roar! The Abyss Flame Dragon let out a heaven-shaking roar towards the sea and the unknown entity, spitting out entangled black and red flames from her mouth, turning the incoming tentacles to ash. She also turned a large area of the seas surface into a vast expanse of white steam. The huge mysterious tentacled monster was also hit by the flames, letting out a soul-piercing wail from who knows where, then submerged itself into the sea, disappearing from sight. The sea quickly returned to calm. "Those things really have a constant desire to crawl up here." The Red Dragon flapped her wings in the sky, a voice of disdain speaking in Luo Xis ear: "Time and time again, at the slightest disturbance, they wish to come ashore. Who knows when they can be completely burned to ashes, never to be resurrected. Mother is almost sickened by these creatures." Luo Xi asked, "What exactly are they?" "Mother isnt sure. After those three Eternal Divine Trees were destroyed, the sea has been filled with such oddities, so the Lord ordered mother to stand guard here to prevent them from reaching the shores." "The Lord?" The Red Dragon spoke with reverence, "We must not speak more. As long as you, my child, continue to evolve, perhaps one day you will see him with your own eyes." Luo Xi fell silent. The waters of this Dream world are truly deep. Besides the solid ground where people can set foot, it seems both the sky and the sea have become forbidden zones for life. Just that entity from before, an ordinary Dreamland Traveler or a human of the Dream world setting sail would doubtlessly perish. Only that black Abyss Flame Dragon, with her formidable strength, could carry Luo Xi freely in and out of this eerie sea. So it seems at least Tier Five strength is required to go to sea. [Note: Damn Traveler, hence the urgent need for exceptional talents like you to save the world! After saving this world, all the beast-eared Little Lolitas will be yours. Who knows, someone might even write a biography called "The Legend of the Lolita King" for you. Thinking about it, isnt it very motivating?] Luo Xis mouth twitched. This biography just from the title alone is of the sort that absolutely must not be opened, right? That Damn Text surely knows a lot. Yet it refuses to tell him. [Note: Sometimes, ignorance is also a form of protection~] Luo Xi suddenly remembered when he received the Sublimation path of the Snowice Disaster, the Omen column was filled with ****. Are there some things that merely knowing them poses a problem? The Red Dragon gazed at the ocean for several minutes, confirming that the entities below had no more intent to assault the coast. Then, she carried Luo Xi back down from the sky. Luo Xi leapt down from atop her head, landing on the edge of the volcanos crater and gazed at the bubbling hot magma within, lost in myriad thoughts. This trip was not in vain as it had enlightened him about so many things he had previously been unaware of. [Note: And I even gained a Red Dragon Little Lolita Mama! (This is the highlight!)] Thats not the highlight! The massive form of the Black Abyss Flame Dragon began to gradually turn into a shadowy figure before Luo Xis eyes. Eventually, a naked, redhead girl with Dragon Horns reappeared before Luo Xi, her diminutive stature and pale, prominent chest adding a stirring beauty to the already spring-filled Emerald Forest. Luo Xi: "???" You were just dressed, werent you? How come your clothes disappeared after you transformed back into human form? The Dragon Horn girl noticed Luo Xis gaze, looked down at her body, and then smiled, saying, "Hold on a moment, Mama forgot that when she transformed back earlier, she took the clothes away. When Mama was still human, she seemed to care a lot about what she wore. Its just that its been so long, she can hardly remember that joyful feeling of getting new clothes." Luo Xi turned his head away and asked, "May I know what your name was before?" The Dragon Horn girl frowned slightly, saying, "Dont use you to address me, call me Mama." Luo Xi: "0Q." The human form of the Black Abyss Flame Dragon seemed quite petite except for her snow-white chest, which was much larger than Cat Cats. He really found it hard to call her "Mama"! The Dragon Horn girl knitted her delicate brows as she said, "As for my name, let Mama think... back then, my human name seemed to be Florecia." Eight thousand years was far too long, and she had long forgotten many things from when she was human, even failing to recall when exactly she had transformed from a human into a dragon. "Florecia." Luo Xi silently repeated the name and checked the synchronization time he had left in this trip. Less than two minutes remaining. After two minutes, he could exit this world and communicate with the Dragon Lady through the Damn Text. That was what Luo Xi had thought. Until the Dragon Horn girls golden eyes turned his way, and suddenly the surrounding volcanic landscapes and the distant forest scenery shifted into a land of scorching magma, with him standing on a suspended platform of soil. [Ding! You have entered a special place, and your synchronization time has been updated to ???] Luo Xi: "!" It was a familiar predicament! Last time Liya had done something similar to him! A Travelers synchronization time is generally only 30 minutes per day, but in certain special places, this time can be indefinitely extended. Unless death occurs, you cannot leave at will. The Dragon Horn girl had already put on her clothes again; the black dress fitted her perfectly. However, as she tried to put her socks back on, the white socks mysteriously ignited. She brushed off the flame on the socks with a hint of annoyance, then tossed them into the magma below. Luo Xi instinctively glanced in the direction of the falling socks. [Note: Trash Traveler, feeling a bit regretful, arent you?] Not at all! The Dragon Horn girl decided not to wear socks or shoes. Standing barefoot with her red horns on the dirt platform, she came over and said, "Your strength is too feeble, even if you say you want to go back. Mama is worried about letting you go just like that, so we need to find a way to enhance your strength, to give you some ability to protect yourself." "Actually, my self-protection abilities are pretty strong." Sear?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Theres no need to act tough." The Dragon Horn girl raised her hand to Luo Xis head, touching his pair of horns, showing a tender smile, "Mama didnt know about your existence before, but now that she does, she surely wont let you face danger and harm on your own." "As for using the Hollow Flower you mentioned, although it hasnt been proven yet, Mama already believes in you. Nearby, theres a place with a small Hollow Flower fossil. After this is over, Mama will personally take you there." Luo Xi: "..." Was this Red Dragon Mother dead set on giving him a special training? At least let him go back first to say a word to Cat Cat and the others! Luo Xi finally asked the question that had been on his mind. "The other Origin Beasts... or rather, dragons, do they also treat humans who have been infected with their Mutant Factor as tenderly as you do?" "Ive told you not to use you to address me." The Dragon Horn girl tilted her head and said with confusion, "Im not quite sure about other dragon mothers. But I suppose not. Many dragons see their transformed children as material for Tier advancement, consuming them to reach a higher level." She seemed worried that Luo Xi might be frightened and quickly added, "Mama would never do such a thing! Who would eat their own children? Those evil dragons will eventually get their comeuppance!" [Note: Trash Traveler, with such a morally upright, cute, and petite Red Dragon Lolita as a mother, why not just give in to her~] Chapter 348 - 255 Mother’s meticulous care_1 Chapter 348: Chapter 255 Mothers meticulous care_1Reality. Ai Xue checked her phone. More than half an hour had passed. Why hadnt the senior woken up yet? Could it be that he really enjoyed playing with the sisters in that world so much that he forgot to return? But this was taking way too long. And the thought of the senior doing who knows what with other girls somewhere she couldnt see made Ai Xue feel a little jealous. From time to time, Jiu Jian looked up toward the stairs. He had nearly finished three cups of tea. Wheres Luo Xi? Lets wait a little longer... Luo Xi, after hearing the Dragon Horn girls words, doubted whether he was still dreaming. Were there really Dragon Ladies with such a gentle and amiable personality? [Note: Shouldnt it beAre there really lolified Dragon Mamas with such large snow-white...?] No need to stress that theyre big! Luo Xi was just surprised why the Red Dragon Lady was so fixated on children. Or was it that her incredibly gentle character was only shown to him as her child? How was she so certain he would turn into a dragon in the future? Humans and other creatures that hadnt embarked on the path of Transcendence would, after being infected with the Mutant Factor, generally start to transform toward the Origin Beast as the degree of mutation deepened. However, some were able to maintain their human form and gain greater strength from the Mutation Factor, such as Rat King Noss with his Twin Serpent and Rat factor, who had Tier Four strength but still maintained a human form. Couldnt he also master the power of Mutation while retaining his human essence? Moreover, according to the Dragon Horn girl, many Origin Beasts spread Mutation Factors not only to make offspring carrying their factor appear but also to gain materials for advancement. Origin Beasts with the same bloodline found it easier to assimilate each other and thus reach higher Tiers. This was one of the important reasons why these Origin Beasts spread their factor. And this Red Dragon Ladys attitude toward children was just like how humans feel about their own children. Was it because she was originally human? Luo Xi suddenly became curious about the life story of this Dragon Lady when she was human. Unfortunately, eight thousand years was a chasm that couldnt be crossed. It was so long ago that even the Dragon Lady had forgotten her days as a human. Now, she was a Tier Five Sovereign of Dragons, fundamentally set apart from humanity by life rank. It was just unclear which level she belonged to within the Sovereign rank. With such strength, she naturally wouldnt take any interest in someone like him who had just started on the path of Mutation. Even as food, he probably wouldnt be enough to fill the gaps between her teeth, right? "Child, what are you thinking about?" The Dragon Horn girl noticed the fluctuations in Luo Xis spirit and asked, "Is there something you want to ask? Mama can answer your questions anytime, anywhere." "You" "You should call me Mama!" The Dragon Horn girl frowned unhappily, hands on her hips, as her amber vertical pupils stared at Luo Xi, saying, "Mama has told you several times already. If you make this kind of mistake again, Mama will have to punish the disobedient child!" Luo Xi: "...." [Note: The punishment of a lolified Dragon Mama (*`)~, Im really looking forward to it~] ()! Damn Text, if youre going to have a fit, go away! "Mama..." he whispered. [Ding! Your embarrassment level +100] After calling out those two words to the Dragon Horn girl, Luo Xis sense of shame immediately went through the roof, leaving his mind blank. Who am I, where am I, what am I doing? Is there anything more embarrassing in the world than calling a girl who looks so young Mama? If there is, it would only be being discovered after lolification by someone familiar, right? "Uh-huh!" The Dragon Horn girl nodded eagerly, swaying her Dragon Tail behind her, wearing an elated expression. It was then that Luo Xi realized, no matter how he talked with this Dragon Lady, the text showed no indication of her emotions or Favorability towards him. Was it because her strength was so formidable that the text couldnt detect it? Luo Xi meekly said, "Um, could I call you sister instead of Mama?" Calling her sister at least seemed more normal. And easier to say out loud. "How could you change that?" The Dragon Horn girl immediately rejected Luo Xis idea, then said thoughtfully, "Child, do you want a sister? Pure creatures capable of bearing Mamas bloodline without losing control are almost nonexistent. Most of them become uncontrollable monsters due to bloodline rampages. Its actually quite rare for a Tier Lord existence to have offspring." "So, you are very likely to be Mamas only child!" The Dragon Horn girl suddenly grabbed Luo Xis hand and pulled him into her embrace. Luo Xis face was buried directly into the two mounds of snowy softness. They were soft and springy. Soon, a pleasant fragrance filled his nostrils, stimulating his fragile spirit, and his already blank mind became utterly confused. Whats going on? Wasnt she supposed to enhance my strength? Could this be the so-called strength enhancement? [Ding! Your happiness level +288] [Note: Soft and fragrant, (*`) trash Traveler, look how much faster your happiness level is rising compared to petting the Little Wolf Girls tailyouve completely exposed your innermost sexual inclinations and thoughts!] Any normal male would be thrilled by this, okay! Luo Xi tried to struggle a bit. Then he gave up. Of course, it wasnt because he wanted to deliberately enjoy the moment. It was simply that he couldnt struggle free. His bare strength was only around eighty or ninety points; this individual was definitely far beyond him. But to be honest, this cleanser-like sensation was indeed very... awesome. [Note: In short, its a feeling that Cat Cat and Cute Wolf cant comprehend!] Indeed... Im not saying anything! After pinning Luo Xi to her chest, the Dragon Horn girl gently stroked his head and said tenderly, "Child, its okay not to have a sister, you still have a Mama. If theres anything you want to talk about, just tell Mama!" Luo Xi was completely confused by the Dragon Ladys train of thought. He softly hmmed in agreement, and as the girls grip loosened, he lifted his face from the softness, feeling a surge of loss. Then his gaze was drawn to the girls bare feet, which were stepping on the mud. He forced himself to close his eyes. This Dragon Lady was definitely here to test him! S~ea??h the novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. What kind of Mama behaves like this! Luo Xi took a deep breath, stepped back, sat down on the ground, and holding his forehead, said, "Mama... Mama, your name was Florecia before, right?" The Dragon Horn girl nodded, "Thats the name Mama had when she was still a human." "So can I call you Mama Florecia?" "Thats possible." The Dragon Horn girl looked puzzled and asked, "Why add a name?" Luo Xi explained, "Because that way, its not too awkward to say out loud." Mainly, Luo Xi planned to call her that for a period of time. Maybe in future encounters, he could try to remove the Mama suffix and just call her by her name. [Note: Crafty Traveler is really good at making plans~] The Dragon Horn girl nodded in semi-understanding and asked, "Whats your name, child?" "Luo Xi." He said. Florecia memorized this short name in her heart and then looked up, "Its getting late. Shall we start? Mama felt the part of your bloodline power that has been activated, and noticed you have many abilities still in a slumber." She pointed to the sea of magma below the mud platform, smiling, "How about going swimming with Mama first?" Luo Xi: "?!" Wasnt she just playing the part of a kind mother a moment ago? And now shes thinking of harming her child? He glanced at the boiling magma below and swallowed hard, "Can we not swim?" "No." The Dragon Horn girl walked over, picked up Luo Xi with one hand, and threw him directly into the sea of magma. Plop! Luo Xi landed in the magma as expected, splashing a large amount of it. However, it was not as scorching as he had expected, and his body automatically developed layers of black-red scales that surfaced and covered his whole body, greatly reducing the high temperature of the magma. Splash! Another spray of magma went flying, some of it even reaching Luo Xis face. The girl, now without clothes and covered in red scales, floated in the magma and looking at Luo Xis body, she sighed lightly, "That Lords power has really affected you quite a bit. On my end, its only a small part, but by the time it got to you, the degree of influence increased a lot." Luo Xi wondered, "What?" Was she saying that not only did he possess the powers of the Red Dragon, like her, but he also had the strength of the Black Dragon Species? "Nothing." Florecia shook her head and said, "For now, try to consume some of this magma. This magma has formed from the power Mama has dispersed over thousands of years and is currently in a docile state. If you can absorb some of it, it should be enough to awaken those abilities that are still dormant." Luo Xi: "?" Is this stuff even meant to be eaten? [Note: Cunning Traveler, if its tasty, eat more of it!] ... Five hours after Luo Xi vanished The sky gradually dimmed. Weier and Aina, along with a few dozen villagers, arrived at the location of the Hollow Flower. About half the people in the village didnt want to leave. Weier didnt press those unwilling to go. Aina, biting her tender lip, said, "Sister Weier, are we really going to leave Brother behind and go back directly?" Weier replied with some helplessness, "Aina, didnt you also say that even if we found that guy, we wouldnt be able to snatch Luo Xi from that girls hands?" Every time Weier thought about the overwhelming power of that Dragon Horn girl, she felt desperate in her heart. So much time had already passed. Had Luo Xi already beendone this and that? The agreement she had with Ai Xue was utterly useless. Who knew where that fellow had been seduced away to, completely out of touch now. They needed to come up with a solution... Speaking of which, wasnt the cradle still in Belgri Town? "Sister, the cradle!" Ainas voice also rang out beside her. Weier and Aina looked at each other, their thoughts in perfect harmony; they both figured the device might help them regain contact with Luo Xi. The Little Wolf Girls expression changed, and she fiercely told her sister, "Last time it was you, this time it has to be Aina! Take turns!" Weier: "..." If she took the chance this time, what would Aina do when she woke up? Chapter 349 - 256 Aina: Adulterous Cat! This Dragon Mama is really worth recognizing_1 Chapter 349: Chapter 256 Aina: Adulterous Cat! This Dragon Mama is really worth recognizing_1Belgri Town. Weier and Aina were the first to leap out from the Hollow Flower together. Subsequently, Perrier, carrying his daughter Little Lynn, also emerged from the flower. It took another dozen seconds before the rest of the villagers began to appear one after another. The Hollow Flower closed completely after one minute. Perrier, still holding his daughter, looked around. Leaving aside the sturdy houses around them, the pale golden Glory enveloping the sky indicated that this town was much larger in scale than their village. They had actually arrived at the place described by the Hollow Flower. It was simply unbelievable. Who exactly were they? Little Lynn asked in a milky voice, "Sister, where are we?" Aina touched the little girls head and smiled, "This is a town called Belgri." Perrier asked, "Who is the Lord of the town?" Weier took out a piece of parchment from her embrace, tapped it lightly, and then turned to say, "Its that man who you met before, the one who was with us." Perrier: "..." Although that man was very strong, wasnt he also a Mutant Patient? How could he possibly be the Lord of the town? At the same time, the villagers were also having discussions filled with excitement and trepidation. "Where is this?" "It looks like a large town." "Can we really settle down here?" "Having intruded so rashly, will the Lord kill us?" "Everyone, quiet down for a moment." Weier called out softly. Luo Xi was the one in control here, and now that he was nowhere to be found, only Ulysses, the administrator he had appointed, could handle these people properly. She herself had no clue about the matters of this town. It wasnt long before the elegant middle-aged gentleman, dressed in a black trench coat, rushed over in a hurry. Ulysses had been handling the towns affairs when he was reminded by those two to come over. He had immediately dropped what he was doing and rushed here. Ulysses could see that the Lord held those two Variant girls in very high favor; even though they were young, they must not be slighted in any way. After all, the Lord favored such young and adorable little girls. Upon arriving, Ulysses was surprised to see the place full of people. Damn. This area had been prohibited from residential use due to the presence of the Hollow Flowerwhere did all these people come from? He hurried to the young Cat Lady with snow-white hair and respectfully asked, "Miss Weier, where has the Lord gone? And who might these people be?" "Oh, theyre the ones we brought back." Aina quickly replied, "Mr. Butler, please arrange a place for them to live. Let them settle in for a while. They can find a job later. As for everything else, well discuss it when Brother comes back." "I see," Ulysses nodded slightly. Was the Lord delayed because of some incident and couldnt return for a while? "Miss Aina, is there anything else you wish to instruct?" he asked. Aina touched the leaf in her embrace. She glanced at Perrier, who held the deer-horned girl in his arms, and said, "Let these two stay in the Manor, since its rather vacant there; theres even a sister younger than Aina living there, so I think its not bad." "Are you sure, Aina?" Weier became even more astonished internally. Discontented, Aina puffed up her little face, "Sister, you are underestimating Aina too much! Im not the kind of child who only gets jealous. Besides, Little Lynn is still so young. By the time she grows up, Aina will have already secured Brother Luo Xi for herself, so theres absolutely no need to worry!" Weier: "..." Each word spoken by her silly sister sounded like a declaration of war! It would still take several years for her to grow up, and if anyone is to secure him, it would be me... Uh, Ive been completely diverted by my silly sister. Ulysses efficiently settled everyones living arrangements, and Weier escorted Perrier and his daughter to the Manor to find them a Vacant room. As soon as Aina entered the Manor, she couldnt wait to run toward the bedroom. Weier watched her sisters retreating figure with a hint of helplessness. What was there to rush for? Was I going to snatch him from you? "Weier Sister, Im going over there to check on Brothers situation, see you tomorrow!" Aina cried out to Weier from the crib and promptly fell asleep, looking up. Weier sat beside her for a while, then took a diary out of her bag. [Pan-continental Calendar 3970, December 17th, Clear] [Today, Aina and I followed that guy through the Hollow Flower to the Emerald Forest on the other side of the Confused Mountain Range. If mom knew about our adventure, she would definitely be very interested, wouldnt she? The air over there is also strange; breathing it in makes one feel somewhat astringent in the heart... (crossed out). Today I also saw the Variants there and the normal Elf tribe, but those Elves are really not friendly to the Mutant Patients at all. Luo Xi started a fight with those Elves to protect the villagers. That guy has really stirred up big trouble this time. A Dragon Horn little girl with remarkable strength took him away. He wont never come back, will he! What am I supposed to do if that happens... Aina has already gone over there, hopefully well get some news tomorrow.] Weier finished writing todays diary entry, and listening only to Ainas steady breathing in the room, sighed softly. Not long ago, it was just Aina and I living the same repetitive days, unchanged, and I had grown accustomed to that life. But why do I feel a bit sad now that I cant hear his voice? ... Reality. Jiujian lied on the sofa at the side, squinting his eyes for a little nap. It was now past six in the afternoon. Luo Xi had been moved down by Ai Xue, who placed his head on her thighs. Watching the still unawakened Luo Xi, she wore a face full of concern. However, the senior had previously slept for an entire day straight. Jiujian suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Luo Xi young friend might have fallen into some special opportunity, lets have dinner first." Ai Xue asked, puzzled, "Special opportunity?" "Now, the maximum synchronization time for a single, ordinary dream is half an hour, players who become controllers of the Divine Tree can have several hours, but he has completely exceeded this range." Jiujian stated, "Some powerful beings domain barriers can indefinitely extend the players synchronization time, and our research institutes have been studying such domain abilities recently." "Then the senior he..." "I think it should be so, speaking of which, Ai Xue girl, has your body started shrinking again?" Jiujian scrutinized Ai Xue, who was starting to shrink as the evening came, transitioning from a young beauty to a Little Lolita, returning to normal with daylight. Sarch* The N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Mm." Ai Xue discreetly massaged that area of hers. Which was obviously beginning to shrink. She would have to change her clothes in a bit, otherwise, she wouldnt fit into them. Thump, thump! Suddenly, someone knocked on the villas door. Jiujian squinted toward the sound. Someone was coming? The sword qi he had deployed around the perimeter didnt give any feedback. Ai Xue was also startled. Who could it be? Squeak The door knob turned, then was gently pushed open. A wolf-eared girl, somewhat translucent in appearance, walked in. She glanced at Luo Xi lying on Ai Xues thighs on the sofa, pouted her thin lips, then headed upstairs. She just knew that Brother Luo Xi would still be enjoying himself here. Jiujian: "?" Ai Xue: "..." Why has she come over? The senior hasnt even woken up yet. "Master, could you please look after the senior for a moment? Im going to check upstairs." Ai Xue quickly set Luo Xi aside and stood up, chasing after the figure upstairs. Pushing open Luo Xis door, she then saw that the egg in the nest, flickering with bright white light, had begun to show cracks. Crack, crack As the shell broke apart into scattering light, a cute and lovely Wolf Eared Lolita lay on the leaves of the nest. Rubbing her eyes, she stood up naked from the nest, looking at Ai Xue who had just entered. The Little Wolf Girl immediately pointed at Ai Xue and exclaimed, "Adulterous Cat, you got caught by Aina, didnt you!" Ai Xue was stunned, then retorted indignantly, "Im not an adulterous cat at all!" ... Within the sea of magma. Luo Xi touched his rounded belly. The magma from the Dragon Mama actually tasted quite good, though a bit throat-burning. [Note: After all, its the essence that the Red Dragon Mother has accumulated over thousands of years~] Dont use phrases that can cause misunderstandings! [Ding! You have consumed a large amount of Dragon Juice, your strength/physique +30, your skill resistance +10] [Ding!

Suddenly, he felt that this Red Dragon Mama was truly worth recognizing. "Barely an improvement over before, just about right, nothing too excessive." The Dragon Horn girls crisp voice rang in Luo Xis ear. He suddenly felt a weight on his body, as he was pulled up and brought out from the sea of magma. Florecia placed Luo Xi on the dirt platform, looking somewhat puzzled, "Although child, your blood factor compatibility with me is very high, Mommy always feels something is slightly off." "What could it be?" The Dragon Horn girl sized up Luo Xis naked body and realized, "Mommy knows nowits because youre still a male human!" Luo Xi: "?!?" Damn, isnt that obvious? [Note: Will the Dragon Mama turn the garbage Traveler into a cute daughter?] Chapter 350 - 257 Red Dragon: The Little Tricks of Aina that Every Mom Likes_1 Chapter 350: Chapter 257 Red Dragon: The Little Tricks of Aina that Every Mom Likes_1Luo Xi looked at the dragon horned girl nervously. This bargain Dragon Mama wouldnt really want to give him a little surgery, would she? [Note: Yay!] Not yay at all! Damn text, scram! Florecia examined Luo Xis body. Gender, to her, was a concept that could be completely discarded, yet she had Luo Xi call her mama instead of papa, which suggested she still considered herself female at heart. After all, she had once been a human woman. So from a human perspective, was it too much for her as the mom to be this intimate with her child? Well, whats the use in worrying about that. Florecia instantly dismissed such lowly thoughts. By now, she had long transcended the domain of humanity. Why bother with such matters and trouble herself unnecessarily? Thus, Florecia took two steps toward Luo Xi and slowly squatted down, her pale feet stepping on the soil. The black dress highlighted her milky whiteness which was plainly visible to Luo Xi, causing him a sense of unease while his Happiness Level likewise increased significantly. The dragon horned girl reached out to Luo Xis head and gently touched it, speaking softly, "Its okay, whether a boy or a girl, mama loves you all the same." Luo Xi breathed a sigh of relief. [Note: Not yay!] Damn nuisances! "You... Dragon Mama Florecia." Luo Xi had just started to use you when he was met with the dragon horned girls sharp gaze that forced him to swallow his words, then he looked down and said, "Ive already gained some strength, so can you let me go back now... Hey..." As Luo Xi spoke, he found his consciousness growing fuzzy, his body increasingly weak. Overwhelming drowsiness surged up continuously. He fell forwards. And once again, he buried himself in that softness. Only this time, before he could feel anything, his vision plunged into utter darkness. [Note: Mamas education was too exhausting, poor Traveler expired today~] After a while, Florecia placed Luo Xi onto the ground. She thought for a moment and her black dress vanished, her body slowly becoming transparent. Then, a larger outline emerged, quickly solidified, and she transformed from human appearance to a Red Dragon, over ten meters in size. As a king-tier Red Dragon, she could switch between hibernation and normal states at will. Maintaining a human form at all times was actually less natural for her. The mud platform beneath her and the sea of magma below turned into countless red sparks and were absorbed into her body. The volcano colony reappeared around. It was now dark, the gloomy sky was starless, and a pair of tea gold dragon eyes lit up in the darkness. The Red Dragon rested at the mouth of the volcano, then sheltered Luo Xi in her embrace. "Youve worked hard," she said. So she could do it after all. The transition from strangers to familiarity was just this simple, facilitated merely by a blood connection. For her. During the long years, she had always sought beings she could communicate with: other dragons, high-tier Origin Beasts, only to discover that they either bore ill intentions or shuddered at her very sight. She no longer needed any of them now. She was a dragon with children too! ... /// Ai Xue, with a face full of confusion, dressed the newly hatched Wolf Eared Lolita in a new set of her clothes. The Beast Eared Girl had just been questioning her about where the clothes her brother bought last time went. Had she stolen them? Those clothes from before were burnt to ashes by your brother; you should be thankful you have anything to wear at all. Also, why would I steal your clothes? The senior student isnt even into the whole "Temptation of xx" thing. If it were otherwise, I would have hit it off with the senior student long ago, and now youre all just mistresses! Compared to this obnoxiously tenacious Wolf Lady sister, she preferred the Cat Lady; at the very least, there was some common language between them. It just felt too daunting. Strange, why would she find such a young child difficult to deal with? Weier mentioned that her sister was three years younger than her, which in the context of reality, meant the child would be middle-school aged. Besides, the senior student had barely shown feelings for the Cat Lady yet was always telling the Wolf Eared Girl theyd get married in the future. Could the senior student prefer the illicit thrill over legality? No way! She had to find a way to correct the senior students misguided thinking! To have a fondness for Lolita-type girls was one thing; she and the Cat Lady were both quite willing, but the senior student couldnt take it a step further and become a bona fide deviant! Aina tugged at her white stockings on her lower legs, looked up, her tea gold pupils directed toward the self-agonizing Ai Xue. "Sniff." Suddenly, she leaned in, her nose lightly touching the center of Ai Xues chest. Ai Xue was startled, shielding her bosom while stepping back. What was this Wolf Eared Girl up to? "Hmm." Aina nodded in satisfaction. Not much of brothers scent on her. The two must not have had any in-depth interaction. Otherwise, this womans body would have left many scents. Ai Xue gave the Wolf Eared Girl a befuddled look, utterly clueless about her thoughts. No wonder Weier mentioned she was difficult to deal with. It wasnt until she leaped off the bed and dashed downstairs that Ai Xue recovered, quickly swapping into a smaller set of nightclothes for the evening, and hurried after her. Luo Xi was still sleeping downstairs. Since Aina had come over, she must know some important news; I had to ask her about it! In the living room, Jiujian occasionally looked up, the situation with Luo Xi was a pressing matter. The Dreamland Travel Bureau in Xia country was entertaining the idea of turning Luo Xi into a leading figure, a golden signboard, so he absolutely couldnt afford any mishaps. Luo Xis power was already among the top echelons globally, and the loss they would suffer from losing such a rare talent was something they couldnt bear. Pat pat pat! A petite wolf-eared girl ran swiftly downstairs from around the corner of the staircase, barefoot and wearing white thigh-high stockings, then threw herself onto Luo Xi on the sofa under Jiujians astonished gaze. Jiujian initially intended to pull the girl away, but remembering that she had appeared before, he stopped. She was the spitting image of the girl in the video that came from Ri Island last time. It seemed that Luo Xi definitely had an item or ability that allowed him to bring people from the Dream world over. I wonder if this ability was a common one? "Brother Luo Xi, wake up!" Aina patted Luo Xis face, which was resting on the sofa. But Luo Xi was still sound asleep. Jiujian said helplessly, "Little sister, theres no use in calling him like that. Do you know what happened to him?" At that moment, Ai Xue also came downstairs and asked, "Aina, werent you, your sister, and him together over there? Why did you come here while he is still over there?" "Brother Luo Xi isnt awake here either?" Aina suddenly panicked and said, "Thats impossible, wasnt Brother Luo Xi saying that even if he died over there, he would still be all right here?" The Little Wolf Girl bowed her head, staring intensely at Luo Xis face, becoming increasingly alarmed. Could it be that Brother really ran into trouble? If Brother had an accident, what should Aina do? How could she go back and tell her sister? Ai Xue furrowed her brows and asked, "What happened to you guys?" Aina bit her thin lip and said softly, "Today, my sister, Brother Luo Xi, and I went to the Emerald Forest. A lot happened there, and in the end, Brother was kidnapped by a very powerful Dragon Horn girl, and he hasnt returned to the village since." Ai Xue: "???" Jiujian: "???" Both were full of question marks. Why does this development feel so outrageous? What do you mean, kidnapped? Ai Xue asked with some headache, "What is this Dragon Horn girl?" Had senior not, in such a short time, found another cute beast-eared Lolita? That would be just like senior. Sear?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Its not just any, its someone with really strong power." Aina whispered, "So powerful that after seeing her, I had no thoughts of fighting her. If she truly wanted to monopolize Brother Luo Xi, Aina would have no way of taking Brother back but could only hope she would be willing to share some with Aina." Ai Xue: "..." What kind of messed-up description is this? Hadnt Weier said her sister had strong possessiveness over senior? Jiujian said solemnly, "So, you guys also dont know where Luo Xi has gone?" Aina shook her head. She came over this time just to ask about Brothers condition over here. Who knew that Brother Luo Xi here would also be in trouble. Aina sat next to Luo Xis head, and imitating what she had seen before, she lifted his head and placed it on her thigh. Ai Xue raised an eyebrow. Quite the quick learner. Jiujian pondered for a while and then laughed, "Then its probably just like I said, hes fallen into some special space. If he wants to come back, suicide should do the trick." Ai Xue stated gravely, "But is it possible that senior is restricted from committing suicide? Could that girl who took him away imprison him forever?" Jiujian: "..." That does seem possible. Really now, what on earth has Luo Xi, this promising young man, been doing over there? Werent you busily exploring? Why have you gotten entangled with so many girls in such strange relationships? As they were feeling somewhat anxious about Luo Xis condition, a muffled cough sounded. "Brother Luo Xi!" "Senior!" The two girls exclaimed with surprise. "Very good, very good." Jiujian also felt a weight lifted from his heart. Luo Xi struggled to open his eyes and saw Ainas familiar tea-gold pupils. He could feel intense changes happening inside his body, synchronizing with the Dream world and reality. Luo Xi was about to get up but was forced back down by Ainas hand on his forehead. The fragrance of flowers emanating from the Little Wolf Girl revitalized his weary spirit. Aina said seriously, "Brother Luo Xi looks very tired. Rest on Ainas legs first. Take your time to talk. And heres my tail, if Brother wants to touch it, you can." A soft, fluffy Big Tail was placed on Luo Xis hand. Ai Xue: "..." Thats going too far! Dont you know about taking turns? That spot was supposed to be mine! And apart from the knee pillow, youre also treating your tail like a toy for senior, thinking youre so great just because you have a tail? Chapter 351 - 258 Dragon Mama is Very Protective of Her Cubs! _1 Chapter 351: Chapter 258 Dragon Mama is Very Protective of Her Cubs! _1Luo Xi pinched the fluffy object in his hand, fingers digging deep into it and reaching into the soft, fine fur within the tail. He had played with Ainas tail countless times already, yet he never grew tired of it. He only wanted to say that this tail was addictive like catnip to a cat. [Ding! Your Happiness Level +44] What could be more delightful than waking up to a lovely wolf-eared mother personally offering her tail? If there is, it could only be a cat and a wolf together... [Note: Waking up and wanting a threesome with sisters, huh? Damn Traveler, youre truly depraved!] I was only talking about petting the tail! Dont twist my words! After caressing it for a while, Luo Xi stopped his hand. There wasnt much flesh on Ainas thighs. He shifted his head slightly to a more comfortable position. Upon seeing Luo Xi regain his composure, Jiujian asked, "Luo Xi, how are you feeling now? Do you need assistance? You can use anything from the parks storage at any time; your rights are just beneath Director Jiao Qian now." Luo Xi slightly shook his head, "No need, let me read the damn text first." Right now, he still felt somewhat groggy. Aina was here, which meant that the issue with the elves must have been resolved. So, what was the situation with him in the Dream World? As Luo Xi reflected, a line of white text appeared before his eyes. [Traveler, as you have absorbed too much high-tier Yuan Su from your own kind in a short period, you have fallen into a slumber and are temporarily unable to awaken consciously.] [You are undergoing further transformation...] [Estimated sleep duration: 28 hours and 33 minutes] hours? Thats a rather lengthy slumber. He guessed that his overall strength would see some improvement after awakening. One could say that the magma from the Red Dragon Lady was indeed the concentrated essence accumulated over thousands of years; its effect was truly significant, and it packed a serious punch. And Luo Xi had only consumed a very small portion of it. Regarding safety concerns on that end, he shouldnt have to worry. sea??h th Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The nurturing Red Dragon Mother would surely protect him diligently. [Note: Traveler, you wont even call her mother in your heart. How ungrateful!] Luo Xi: "...." He had no choice before; he had called her that, but it doesnt mean he really thought so. After all, he only had one mother. Even though that mother wasnt good to him and they hadnt spoken for years since he went to university, she was still his mother in the sense of blood ties. Calling someone else mother always felt awkward. And the way Origin Beasts spread Mutation Factors to produce offspring, in Luo Xis view, was more akin to creating subordinates than children, much like the way vampires in novels and movies create their progeny. The majority of Mutant Patients in the Dream World were infected with Third-tier catastrophe-level Origin Beast factors, and there were some at the Lord level, but anything higher was rare. King-tier Origin Beast factors were too powerful, and ordinary humans would typically fall and transform into monsters before dying in despair if infected. To attain great power without the corresponding vessel was, after all, nothing but an illusion. This was also why the Black Abyss Flame Dragon had trouble having offspring. But, from the behavior of the Red Dragon Mother, it seemed that she wanted somethingor someoneto confide in and rely on more than she wanted a child. Does it have to be a child? Cant it just be a simple friend? Luo Xi wasnt sure about the relationships between dragons, but he knew that being alone for a long time wasnt good for anyone. Just thinking about living a lonely life for eight thousand years was enough to unsettle Luo Xi, who was only in his twenties. No wonder Florecia so desperately wanted him to call her Dragon Mama. But at the end of the day, Luo Xi still found it too strange to call that horned dragon girl mother. It wasnt that he was being sentimental, but perhaps one day he would shed the dragon species bloodline from the Mutation, and if that happened, would Florecia change her attitude towards him by 180 degrees? He figured she definitely would. Luo Xi didnt relish the thought of what might happen then. Whether they became enemies or she felt disappointment and loss. [Note: The Red Dragon Mother is so gentle; damn Traveler, how can you think of abandoning her? Such an act is definitely despicable!] How does that count as abandonment? Luo Xi was very clear in his heart. Their affection was solely based on so-called Mutation Factors and blood ties. Once that disappeared, to her, Luo Xi would be nothing more than a lowly human. Florecia herself had said that her life transcended humans and could last for ten thousand years. If it werent for his Variant talent leading to the infection of the factor, theres no way he could relate to the Black Abyss Flame Dragon. [Note: Isnt it possible that this is a kind of fate?] Fate? Luo Xi almost laughed. Isnt that something youve arranged, Damn Text? [Note: Not at all~ (serious face!)] Who would believe that! All of a sudden, Luo Xi became curious: if the purple Variant talent could produce a Mutation Factor of the Black Abyss Flame Dragons caliber, what would the golden Variant talent do? Purple corresponds to the king-tier. So gold probably corresponds to the Sixth-order Abyss. Is it on the level of the Black Dragon Bahamut? If that chance for talent upgrade last time had been applied to the Variant talent... Chapter 352 - 258 Dragon Mama is Very Protective of Her Babies!_2 Chapter 352: Chapter 258 Dragon Mama is Very Protective of Her Babies!_2 [Note: And then, garbage Traveler, youd probably die a sudden death?] Luo Xi: "...." He dragged the Damn Text to the side. At that moment, he noticed the tea-golden eyes of the Little Wolf Girl still gently gazing at him. [Ding! Ainas Favorability towards you +5] [Ding! Ainas Guilt Value towards you +10] Seeing Luo Xis gaze focusing on her, Aina softly said, "Brother Luo Xi, Im sorry, I could only watch you being taken away by that person and did nothing." Luo Xi was still wondering where Ainas Guilt Value came from. So that was it. He wanted to lift his head and say it was okay, but then Aina pressed his head down and covered his face with her tail. Warm, fragrant, and fluffy. Luo Xi: "!" [Ding! Your Happiness Level +66] Aina spoke gently, "Didnt Brother Luo Xi say before that he really liked Ainas tail? The kind of like where you want to bury your head into it? Now that Sister Weier is not here, brother can do whatever he wants." [Note: Taking advantage of Sisters absence, the garbage Traveler actually did such a thing to Little Sister!*] "...." Master Jiujian subconsciously tugged at his beard and glanced at Ai Xue, who was clenching her teeth beside him. The relationship between this Wolf Eared Lolita and Luo Xi was clearly very close, even more intimate than with this little Miss Ai Xue. Suddenly, he started to doubt whether his previous impression of Luo Xi was correct. Could this young man really be gathering beast-eared Lolitas for his harem in that world? Hmm... probably not. Master Jiujian preferred to believe that the Luo Xi he presented to the world and the real him were completely different people. About half a minute later, Luo Xi finally moved the Big Tail off his face, decisively flipped over, then scooped up Aina in his arms again and sat down on the Sofa with her in his embrace. Master Jiujian was still waiting here, after all. Playing with tails and such wasnt urgent right this moment. Seeing Luo Xi finally get up, Ai Xue sat huffily beside him, and Aina turned her head, her wolf ears perking up, and her tea-golden eyes looking smugly at Ai Xue. Aina knew all of Brother Luo Xis preferences! You adulterous Cat dont have that kind of feature! This time, Aina won! Ai Xues pretty face stiffened; she moved closer to Luo Xi and suddenly grabbed Ainas tail. The first sensation was that the tail was so soft and fluffy. Aina: "!" How dare this woman! Before Aina could react, Ai Xue whispered in her ear, "Senior Brother hates girls who are petty and calculating. He also dislikes girls who are mean and selfish; you wouldnt want to be hated by Senior Brother, by your Brother, would you?" Aina: "..." The scent coming from Ai Xue wasnt entirely fake. It meant that part of what she said was what she believed to be true. Aina pursed her lips as she felt a different sensation from Luo Xis touch on her tailit was Ai Xue sliding her hand into the fluff. Luo Xi looked down and saw Ai Xue touching it merrily, so he decisively moved the looking wronged Aina to the side. It was rare for Aina to come over and see him living with Ai Xue without raising her Yandere Value. It would be best if they could understand each other more and get along harmoniously. Ai Xue and Cat Cat could get along so well; he believed that Aina and Ai Xue definitely could as well. [Note: You really are scum, Traveler! Is this you letting different kinds of fish adapt to each other, hoping to gulp them all down in one breath?] Of course not! Luo Xi certainly didnt admit to the Damn Texts slander. He didnt look at Ai Xue and Aina, who were already secretly scuffling beside him and smiled at Master Jiujian in front of him, "Master Jiujian, what brings you to me today?" Master Jiujian set his teacup down and sighed lightly, "Compared to your situation, mine can be left undone. Can you tell us what on earth you encountered? You are now a leading figure among the players in Xia country. If something were to happen to you, the consequences would be unimaginable." Luo Xi: "???" What the hell? When did I become the leader of Xia countrys players? Hearing Master Jiujians words, Ai Xue and Aina also stopped their hidden power struggle and looked towards Luo Xi. Luo Xi lowered his head. sea??h th N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. He was somewhat unsure if he should reveal the matter with the Red Dragon Lady. Being forced to call someone else mamaknowing it yourself is enough, it feels so embarrassing to talk about. Seeing Luo Xis indecisive look, Aina thought something bad had happened. Brother didnt really get caught by that powerful Dragon Horn girl and have everything done, did he? Could that girl have imprisoned Brother in some kind of dungeon... Aina pulled her tail out of Ai Xues hand and then threw herself into Luo Xis embrace, sobbing, "No matter what, Aina will never despise Brother Luo Xi! Once Aina becomes powerful, she will certainly snatch Brother back from that place!" "Brother must hold on, even if there are children or something in the future, its okay; Aina can be the childrens stepmother!" Luo Xi: "...." This Wolf Eared Lolitas train of thought was truly wild; the things you just said could be used to write a whole new novel. He shook his head and said, "Its not what you think, its a long story..." Luo Xi spent about ten minutes explaining to them about the origin of the Mutant Factor inside him, the ordeal with being taken by the Sovereign-level Black Abyss Flame Dragon who wanted to forcibly be his mother. Chapter 353 - 258 Dragon Mama is Very Protective of Her Cubs! _3 Chapter 353: Chapter 258 Dragon Mama is Very Protective of Her Cubs! _3Aina listened with utter confusion. So, the Dragon Horn girl didnt kidnap her brother to find a husband, but to find a child? [Note: Right now its a child, but raise him well, and hell be a husband in the future!] Luo Xi: "?" Damn Text, who are you talking to now? Jiujian asked with a beaming smile, "So youve already gained recognition from a King-tier Origin Beast?" Luo Xi nodded: "It seems so." "Not bad at all." Jiujians smile was so wide that he couldnt close his mouth. This was a really big deal! The Dreamland Travelers on Xia countrys side could already be considered quite good just for stepping onto the path of Transcendence. A small number of them had found opportunities to reach the Second-tier or Third-tier, but basically no one had formed connections with the high-ranking powerhouses of the Dream world. Improving strength might be relatively easy, but cultivating personal relations was extremely difficult. The players who had been playing for the longest time had only clocked in about seven months in "Dawn." What kind of personal relations could one foster in such a short time? Maybe some players with good luck could become disciples or something to those powerhouses, but those were still the minority. So Luo Xi gaining the blessing of a Tier Five Origin Beast was like an instant rise to heaven. From now on, where in the vast Dream world couldnt he go? Luo Xi couldnt be bothered to explain that the Red Dragon couldnt leave the place it was guarding at will. If I told you I also have a Tier Four mother-in-law, would you want to immediately throw a celebration banquet? Ai Xue whispered, "A King-tier Origin Beast can turn into a human?" "Mhmm." "Whats her figure like?" "Uh..." Luo Xi wanted to say, junior sister, why are you asking this? Aina interrupted: "The height of that girl, from what Aina saw, was about the same as Sister Weiers, but she may be even bigger there than you during the daytime." Ai Xue: "!" Im already at a D-cup during the daytime. Red-haired Dragon Horn Little Lolita! And shes of the huge boob variety! Theres a saying that Lolitas are common, but huge boob Lolitas are not. Senior is not going to get taken down by her, is he?! Although Senior might not like big ones, when the two combine, she feels that the average man couldnt stand that kind of temptation. Its a pity that when I shrink at night, that area shrinks along with me. If it didnt, I could put Seniors preferences to the test... "Senior, are you sure that Black Abyss Flame Dragon didnt kidnap you to make you her future husband?" Ai Xue muttered, "I feel like she wants to play a nurturing game." [Note: Yes, youre thinking exactly what Im thinking!] "Youre overthinking it." Luo Xi responded helplessly, "She really does want to raise me as her child. Ive been forced to call her mommy so many times already." He coughed to change the subject, "Lets not talk about that. There isnt much going on my end, so Master Jiujian, what did you want to see me about today?" Jiujian said, "Its getting late. How about we have dinner first?" Luo Xi glanced at the sky outside the villa window. The sky had completely darkened; so much time had already passed. But theres no rush. Anyway, starting from now, Im practically banned for 28 hours. Theres plenty of time to deal with things in the real world. After dinner, having listened to what Jiujian said, Luo Xi spoke with some annoyance, "So youre saying you want me to become a big star? A household name that everyone knows?" "Yes." Jiujian nodded. Only Luo Xi was in a position to do this, after all. His achievements and strength were plain for all to see. Its just that his reputation was a bit iffy, but thats irrelevant, as it can always be turned around. Luo Xi complained, "Forget it. I dont want to go out and have people pointing at me, saying, Isnt that the perverted loli-con Luo Xi?" [Note: Scrappy Traveler, you do have some self-awareness!] Damn Text, stop talking! Jiujian responded helplessly, "You dont have to worry about these things." "I think Id rather not." Luo Xi said firmly, "Who knows what this game will turn into in a few months? When it updates, there might suddenly be players even stronger than me." "Let others bask in the limelight." ... ,, Sear?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Red Flame Mountain Volcano Group. A ten-meter-long Red Dragon lay at the edge of a volcano crater. Suddenly, the Red Dragon opened its eyes and looked towards the location of the Emerald Tree. Several powerful lifeforms were flying rapidly in this direction, probably those Elves. The Elves have long lifespans, too, although their strength largely depends on the Divine Trees power. Once away from the Divine Tree, their top combat power isnt much different from Humanitys. The bloodline factors that Florecia had released had once been successfully infected onto the Elves, but ultimately failed. Luo Xi being able to successfully and perfectly integrate the factor was a miracle. What are they coming for? Florecia pushed the Luo Xi in her arms further inside and gradually grew larger, returning to her immense size over a hundred meters long, her crimson-gold vertical pupils shining through the night like inextinguishable lamps. The approach of those flying figures faltered, probably having seen those eyes and realizing theyd been spotted. "Lord Black Abyss Flame Dragon." A deep voice came from afar. "Today, did you leave the Red Flame Mountain Range, appear around the City of Yuye, and severely injure the City Owner?" Chapter 354 - 258 Dragon Mama is Very Protective of Her Cubs! _4 Chapter 354: Chapter 258 Dragon Mama is Very Protective of Her Cubs! _4Florecia suddenly realized. Were they here to seek retribution? But how dare they? This was not one of those cities with the Divine Trees of merely seven or eight hundred meters. You send just a Tier Five, along with a few dispensable Tier Fours, and you expect to accuse her? That was underestimating her by far. At the very least, youd need five times that number, right? She let out a low growl toward the deep, pitch-black forest. Consequently, the mountains trembled, countless nocturnal Origin Beasts shivered and knelt in distress, and several nearby Lord-level Origin Beasts immediately lay motionless in their dens, playing dead. "Lord Black Abyss Flame Dragon, you might have misunderstood, we arent here to accuse you," the deep voice continued, "We are here to clear up a misunderstanding. Were not sure what offence Lire has caused you, and while youve been guarding the Red Flame Mountain Range all year round, your contributions are clear for all of us to see. If he has offended you, we are ready to administer punishment on your behalf." Florecia impatiently roared again. A dull voice, completely different from the gentle and clear sound Luo Xi had heard earlier, filled with a sense of ferocity, resonated in the ears of those people simultaneously. "He dared to harm my child; not killing him on the spot was already me showing your Elves consideration. Should I ever learn of any of you laying a hand on my child again, I will not hold back any longer!" "Now all of you, get out!" In the forest, a male Elf with semi-transparent green thin wings fluttering behind him, was utterly shocked by the Red Dragons message, and he cursed Lires mother a hundred and eight times in his heart. For heavens sake, didnt you say a High-tier Dragon Origin Beast had gone mad and beat you up, and you still played innocent? Wasnt that just setting people up? sea??h th ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. As an inspector of the Emerald City, he had only just arrived at the City of Yuye when he learned of the incident involving Lire. After some deduction, he had determined his target to be in the Red Flame Mountain Range, nine hundred kilometers from the City of Yuye. There, a famous Tier Five Red Dragon King resided. The Black Abyss Flame Dragon. Its history could be traced back over eight thousand years, a time before the Pan-continental Calendar was even in use. The Flame Dragon was merely a Tier Four Lord-level Origin Beast then, and it wasnt until three thousand years ago that it advanced to a Tier Five Red Dragon King. You dare to mess with the child of a Dragon King? Huh? Wait, where did these Origin Beasts get kids from? Offspring infected by their Mutation Factors? But would they really care about such things? The male Elf pushed his questions to the back of his mind and quickly led his subordinates away. They couldnt afford to anger the dragon in the distance any further. After all, their group wouldnt even suffice to pick the teeth of that Red Dragon, a true High-tier Monarch capable of opposing the ruler of a large city with Divine Trees seven or eight hundred meters tall, all on its own strength. After all the Elves had left, Florecia remained still for a long time before her form gradually shrank back down. This time she transformed into a human appearance, though, still without any clothes, she lay beside the unconscious body of Luo Xi, looking up at the overcast sky. In a trance, Florecia seemed to recall something. Once upon a time, had she also had the experience of lying under the night sky, watching the scenery with someone else? She couldnt quite remember. Her time as a human was so fleeting compared to her life as a dragon that it was hardly worth mentioning. But that didnt matter. Florecia turned to look at the young man beside her. From now on, she would have her child to keep her company. Her child, my child, hehehe... If Luo Xi could synchronize with this moment, he would see the Dragon Lady grinning foolishly like a human being. Chapter 358 - 260: The Real Death and Moonflow’s Flashback_1 Chapter 358: Chapter 260: The Real Death and Moonflows Flashback_1The Divine Trees shadow showed up in reality? Luo Xi got a bit confused by what Jiujian said. Wasnt the Divine Tree a special product of the Dreamworld? Then, he received a night photograph. The photo was a night view taken by a drone from the sky. Amidst the sprawling mountains, there was a bowl-shaped, semi-transparent, greyish-black curtain, inside of which a huge tree shadow could be seen. Although it wasnt very clear, Luo Xi immediately deduced that if that tree shadow wasnt the Divine Tree, it was probably something similar. But why would it appear in reality? [Note: This world is also gradually being infiltrated by It, pathetic Traveler. Now do you still want to run away? ~] Its infiltration? Luo Xi thought of the eerily vast ocean of the Dreamworld. Would reality gradually follow in the footsteps of the Dreamworld? This world doesnt have the protection of the Eternal Divine Tree. If those bizarre entities really appear... The consequences for humanity would be dire. Luo Xi didnt believe that conventional firearms in reality would stand a chance against those things, and bombing the area wouldnt be feasible either. Even if it were effective, would humanity even survive afterwards? Luo Xi glanced at his phones time which now displayed 00:03. Why choose the moment of midnight? It perfectly blocked his ability to reverse time, no wonder the Damn Text said it couldnt help and farewell. Had Moonflows ability to rewind time been discovered? In fact, Luo Xi really wanted to know if Moonflows reversal also sent the timelines of both the Dreamworld and reality backwards. Clearly, the Damn Text wouldnt be affected, but what about that entity that intended to erode both the Dreamworld and reality? Would it notice the reversal? [Note: Although unable to affect it, once the two worlds blend together, to some extent, its a black box. It temporarily cannot perceive whats inside, unless Its will descends personally.] A chill settled in Luo Xis heart. So, beings like gods wouldnt lose their memories due to reversal? Thats unwelcome news. But, its also expected. Well, there must be a way to solve this. Surely the Damn Text wouldnt expect him to fight that unknown god with the equipment he had now, right? Luo Xi turned to Ai Xue and said, "Ai Xue, could you please take care of Aina for a bit? I need to step out." Ai Xue was startled, "You want me to take care of this child?" Her gaze shifted to the two sharp canine teeth of the Wolf Eared Lolita. I might get bitten, right? Aina asked worriedly, "Brother Luo Xi, where are you going?" She was afraid that her brother in this world would also disappear without return. "Dont worry, Ill be back soon." Luo Xi petted Ainas wolf ears and grabbed her tail a few times, adding a bit of Happiness Level, before he was satisfied and then jumped off the balcony of the villa. After Luo Xi left, Ai Xue and Aina were left looking at each other, the two small Lolitas at a loss. Although they didnt spend much time together, their relationship wasnt good. Luo Xi was a mediator for both of them. Now that he was gone, the atmosphere immediately became tense. Ai Xue checked her phone. Unfortunately, with her access rights, she couldnt see the crucial information gathered firsthand, and to her surprise, even the international hunters section was locked. It seems this issue was quite serious. Ai Xues brows furrowed with worry. Senior is indeed very powerful now, but human capabilities are always limited, and unlike the Dreamworld, you cant resurrect in reality. If anything happens to Senior... She cant just sit idly, she has to help! Ai Xue suddenly sprang out of bed. But her waist was grabbed by Aina next to her, unbalancing her, and the two of them thudded onto the floor together. "What are you doing?" "What do you want to do?" They questioned each other. Ai Xue tried to pry Ainas hands off but remembering her own frightening strength, she didnt want to hurt the Wolf Lady, so she let herself be held. "Brother Luo Xi asked you to watch over Aina, where are you planning to go?" "Im going to help Senior!" "No! Didnt you tell Aina not to go when she encountered danger last time?!" The Little Wolf Girl stared at Ai Xue with her tea-golden pupils, "You said back then that we would only cause trouble for Brother. Why do you want to sneak off alone now? Aina wont let you go and mess things up for Brother!" Ai Xue: "..." She had indeed said something like that last time. But you, Wolf Eared Lolita, are really hitting where it hurts! Shes gotten stronger than before and wouldnt cause trouble for Senior anymore! However, Ainas interruption made her realize that she didnt even know where to go. What use was such haste? "I understand, let go of me." "Really?" "Yeah." After Aina let go, Ai Xue got up, sat down gloomily on the bed, her face full of dejection. Aina got up from the floor and sat down beside Ai Xue. She was also very worried about Brother Luo Xi. But since witnessing the terrifying strength of the Dragon Horn girl, shed known that without sufficient power, she really would just be a nuisance. All she needed to do was wait at home for Brother Luo Xi to come back. When that time came, she would offer her tail to let Brother hold her while they slept, hey hey~ Suddenly, Ai Xue said, "Didnt your sister tell you about the agreement between us?" "Agreement?" Aina asked with a quirked brow, "What agreement?" "As expected, she didnt say anything." Ai Xue sighed lightly and said, "I really dont know what you and your sister see in that senior. Youve only known him for a short time. But if I were him, Id probably feel the same. A pair of sisters plus the Lolita with animal ears trait, no normal man could resist." Aina: "?" Was this woman jealous of her and her sister? Was that necessary? You and Brother Luo Xi are in the same world, able to meet any time, while most of the time we only see a remote-controlled shell. Ai Xue explained to Aina about the agreement she had with Weier. After listening, Aina flipped her hair and said, "Even without any agreement, Aina would take good care of Brother Luo Xi, but the brother in that world is often just a wooden shell, while you get to be affectionate with him every day here. Its so unfair!" Sarch* The n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Unfair?" Ai Xue huffed and said, "Im the one who thinks its unfair. Why is it that Ive chased after that senior for years without anything to show for it, yet you two sisters, who have known him for such a short time, have managed to completely bewitch him?" Without a second thought, Aina said, "Because Aina and sister have tails and ears!" Ai Xue: "..." In that respect, she indeed lost. She glanced back at herself. I wonder if theres a way to attach a tail to myself. There are many tail accessories for animal girls online, but those are all too fake. Should I also try to get infected with a Mutant Factor? But in that city, there werent even any living people, let alone Origin Beast Mutant Factors... ... Luo Xi, outside the villas gate, took a seat in the back of an SUV. Next to him was Jiu Jian, while a middle-aged man in white drove, and the co-driver was Feng Xingming, a researcher Luo Xi had met behind the gardens back mountain last time. Feng Xingming gave Luo Xi a warm smile. "I am Jiao Qian, director of the Dreamland Travel Bureau in Haicheng." The middle-aged man started the engine and turned to smile at Luo Xi, "You missed the welcome banquet we had for you, and Ive been very busy these days, so I couldnt personally receive you, my apologies." "Speaking of which, Counselor Luo, you really are quite promising. If it wasnt for your heart belonging to someone, I would have liked to introduce Jiu Jians granddaughter to you." Jiu Jian almost plucked his own beard upon hearing this. Goddamn introducing my granddaughter, I already said shes a little chubby. Luo Xi shook his head and said, "Its okay, Im more of a homebody, and you have a lot to manage every day. No need for a special visit. What exactly is the situation this time?" "Hold tight." Jiao Qian stepped on the accelerator, and as the car started moving, his tone changed to a grave one, "Jiu Jian has already briefed you about the situation. There are over two thousand new players in the second garden, managed by Xia Xupeng, but after that Divine Tree showed up, Xia Xupeng and everyone in the park have lost contact." "We suspect they may all be... dead." Luo Xis expression shifted slightly. Over two thousand people. So many players gathered together, only to be swept up by the enemy in one fell swoop? That unknown deity truly is ruthless. Feng Xingming spoke earnestly, "Moreover, according to information from all over the world, those strange Divine Trees seem to appear where Dreamland Travelers are concentrated. I suggest we temporarily disband the Traveler parks within Xia country and let everyone go home." "Even if there are risks of being hunted by player hunters after the dissolution, such an incident is very likely to occur again! If it does, it would mean total annihilation, and the consequences are unimaginable!" "The higher-ups have already considered what youve said." Jiao Qian spoke helplessly, "From tomorrow, all people in the Traveler parks will be sent home, and we will arrange patrol teams and a distress signal function to respond immediately to any player hunters." Feng Xingming said, "Our Yuan Su Resonance Diffuser is being hurriedly miniaturized and mass-produced. Alternate methods for purifying Essence have also been found. Once they are installed all over Xia country, ordinary people holding special firearms will have strong killing power against third-tier and below players." "Good, were counting on you." "This is all we as researchers can do." Soon, the car fell into silence. Not a word was spoken, and the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive. Luo Xi suddenly looked up. After the car left the mountain area, a gray-black veil, though not very visible in the night, took shape in the distance. Quite conspicuous. Aside from players, could ordinary people also see it? Jiao Qian sighed, "It seems we wont be able to keep it a secret any longer." About ten minutes later, the rushing SUV arrived near the second garden. As soon as Luo Xi stepped out of the vehicle, he felt an intensely chilling temperature tearing at his body. Several members of the Travel Bureau were stationed here, coming over to greet Jiao Qian. Luo Xi saw that the valley ahead was shrouded in a layer of gray-black radiance. The Divine Tree within, judging by its shadow, was at least three hundred meters tall, shorter than the Winter Divine Tree, meaning that it would take at least a Fifth-Order Super to contend with whoever controlled it. Feng Xingming frowned deeply, "We cant handle this thing anymore." "Ill go in and take a look, wait here for me." Throwing his coat onto the car, Jiao Qian said, "If I dont come back, leave immediately and organize the public evacuation. This thing must be cleared, and if it comes down to it, the higher-ups might approve the use of bombs." Luo Xi rubbed his face. His pupils turned crimson gold, slitted. Then, the gray-black radiance pierced through his eyes, revealing the true form of the Divine Tree inside. The branches of the Divine Tree were straight tentacles, the trunk was a viscous unidentified substance, and there was a terrifying human face on it. Luo Xi had seen this face before. It was the face of the man who had come last time, wanting to trade for the gun that was a spoils of war. That human face seemed to notice something, looked towards Luo Xi, opened its mouth, and emitted an inaudible sound. [Ding! You have been hit by a Tier Five Skill: [Song of Death]] In an instant, a cold breath of death enveloped Luo Xis entire body. [Ding! You have died] [Do you wish to use the talent: MoonflowZero Point?] [Yes] Chapter 359 - 261 The Overlap Of Two Worlds_1 Chapter 359: Chapter 261 The Overlap Of Two Worlds_1From the drowsiness, the scent of durian and cream was particularly intense, continually surging into the nostrils. As brightness reached his eyes, Luo Xis consciousness gradually recovered. At the same time, there was a wet feeling coming from his fingertips. He lowered his head and saw Aina biting into the durian cake along with his fingers, and she even winked at him, intentionally licking several times with her tongue. Luo Xi lifted his fingers and looked at the moist traces on them. For some reason, even though he should have felt fear of death, at that moment, he felt exceptionally at ease. After dying in the real world, it was possible to go back, wasnt it? [Traveler, your spirit has experienced intense confusion. All your attributes have decreased by 10% (negative status duration: 8 hours).] A text notification popped up. Luo Xis body slumped a little. Aina, somewhat puzzled, asked, "Brother Luo Xi, whats wrong?" She had keenly sensed a change in Luo Xis scent. Brother seemed suddenly more tired than before. "Its nothing." Luo Xi pinched his finger and lightly tapped Ainas forehead, smiling as he said, "I just feel very happy to see Aina as soon as I come back." "As soon as you come back?" Aina tilted her head. What was Brother Luo Xi talking about? Hadnt he always been here? Ai Xue also showed her confusion, "Senior, did you just go somewhere?" Luo Xi shook his head. The Damn Text had said before that the matter of going back couldnt be told to others. Perhaps out of fear of that unknown foreign deity? It was very possible. Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew through the window. Luo Xi turned to look outside the window. Has it arrived? About ten seconds later, Luo Xi promptly received a phone call, and he saw it was from Nine Swords. After listening to Nine Swords say the same words as last time, Luo Xi calmly said, "I suggest evacuating the surrounding population and going straight to the big guns. We cant fight that thing right now." Nine Swords was silent for a while, then said, "What do you know?" "That is a Tier Five Divine Tree." Luo Xi said, "Its manipulated by that Xia Xupeng... actually, I dont know if its really him, but that thing is very weird, rashly getting close will only lead to easy death." "How do you know that?" "Premonition." Nine Swords: "..." How come I didnt know you had this ability? Nine Swords said in a deep voice, "Even if its as you say, what should we do if the hydrogen bomb also has no effect?" Luo Xi said, "Lets try. If not, we just wait. If that thing appears abroad, there will definitely be some countries that cant resist the urge to bomb it. My suggestion here is to first evacuate the population, within ten, no, fifteen kilometers, everyone ought to be evacuated." After hesitating for a while, Nine Swords said, "Then well go arrange the evacuation. If youre free, could you come and help check out the situation over there?" Since things from the real world couldnt be brought into the Dream World, there was no consensus on how effective those thermal weapons would be against entities from the Dream World. The hydrogen bomb was already the most powerful weapon humanity could muster, with minimal environmental pollution. If it proved ineffective, then against these beings, humanity could only hope for a powerful being to grow quickly. Luo Xi himself couldnt think of an easy way to deal with that weird Divine Tree. That thing had killed him in a single blow. Unless the Damn Text made a move. [Note: I cant do anything, can only cheer for you, garbage Traveler~] Luo Xi: "." Your cheers are utterly useless to me. So are you actually the will of the real world? Luo Xi had originally thought the Damn Text might be some sort of deity or will of their world. Turns out its just trashy. [Note: If you look down on me again, Traveler, Im going to get mad (), I wont pay attention to you anymore!] The Damn Texts message box vanished instantly. Luo Xi was taken aback. He quietly called out to the Damn Text in his mind. But this time, there was no response. The Damn Text, which would always pop out to make sarcastic comments, seemed to have just disappeared. For some reason, Luo Xi felt the sense of security from his return through Moonflows reversal had dissipated. Could it be that the Damn Text had really run off? Two oclock in the morning. Luo Xi sat on the bed, looking at the buzzing notifications in WeChat. Nine Swords told Luo Xi that the evacuation was still in progress and could probably be completed by eight in the morning. In the north, Crow Country had used a five million ton hydrogen bomb on a place where a Black Divine Tree had sprung up. The results were good, and the bomb had created a deep pit where the Black Divine Tree stood. This indicated that humanitys thermal weapons were effective against those Divine Trees! However, about ten minutes later, Jiujian called Luo Xi, his voice somber as he told him that the Divine Tree in Crow Country, which had been blown up, had regenerated. "Regenerated?" "Yes, like a shadow, it reappeared from the darkness, but they are preparing to bomb it againif twice isnt enough, then three times!" "Thats Crow Country for you... What about us?" "Were planning to wait until the evacuation is complete tomorrow to see how they handle it. A total of ten of these Divine Trees have appeared within Xia Countrys borders, with over ten thousand people missing. We must give an explanation to the public." "Over ten thousand people, huh." Luo Xi sighed lightly. He naturally realized that most of these ten thousand were probably new players. From now on, how many people would harbor fear about becoming players? In the eyes of many, "Dawn" was supposed to be a tool to gain strength in another world, but now, this game was becoming increasingly dangerous. If you died in reality, that meant truly dead. The following day. The sky was especially gloomy. It was seven oclock in the morning, yet outside, the sky still bore the faint light of five or six oclock. Luo Xi suddenly opened his eyes, then glanced at Aina, who was sleeping soundly next to him, and at Ai Xue, who had returned to normal beside her. Ai Xues nightgown was the loose type, but now that it was day and she was back to her normal size, her snowy whiteness was almost squeezing out. Luo Xi took a deep breath. Such a thrilling way to start the day. He shook his head to toss aside the distraction for the moment, then picked up his phone to check the message Jiujian had sent. It seemed that Crow Country had finally succeeded. In total, they had used four big ones. After the fourth, the Black Divine Tree did not resurrect again. However, the tree they destroyed was merely a hundred meters tall. It had the same tier of strength as the Belgri Divine Tree controlled by Luo Xi. Luo Xi could be sure that the Belgri might withstand one bombing, but if it were completely destroyed, there was no possibility of regeneration. That Divine Tree was just a monster with properties similar to a Divine Tree. Just as the redhead Florecia had said she had burned those disgusting things in the sea countless times, yet they could revive and return again and again. And, did Crow Country really succeed? Luo Xi had a bad feeling. In Crow Country, a base in Siberia. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. This place used to be a hotspot for players from Crow Country, but now only devastation remained, with huge pits and fissures spread across the ground, speaking of the terrifying events of the previous night. A group of workers in heavy protective suits approached the pit with their equipment. "No abnormalities." "Looks like we finally got it handled." "What the hell is this thing?" "Not sure, but its definitely not a Divine Tree from the Dream world. Those trees are dignified and sacred; this thing is just creepy." Crack! Suddenly, someone noticed that the fissures in the earth were increasing in number, and a writhing shadow climbed out from the pit, then grew at an alarmingly fast rate. Everyones sense of panic reached its limit. They wanted to flee, but were swept away by the tentacles that stretched out towards them. With that, humanitys ultimate weapon in the real world collided with the abomination encountered in the Dream world for the first time, ending in failure. ... Luo Xi narrowed his eyes as he read the latest intelligence. Crow Country had still failed. He gently rose from the bed, not wanting to disturb Aina or Ai Xues sleep, and tiptoed to the balcony before leaping down. Jiujian was already waiting downstairs. Upon seeing Luo Xi, he asked, "What else does your predictive ability tell you?" Luo Xi said, "Those trees are probably similar in nature to the creatures from the ocean of the Dream world." "The ocean?" "Master Jiujian, you should know theres something wrong with the ocean in the Dream world." "I know, but why would the ocean from the Dream world get involved with our reality..." "Because the entity behind the scenes now regards our world as its food as well." [Ding! The beta version of "Dawn" 2.1 has been updated.] [This update includes DLC[Overlapping Dreams and Reality].] [Overlapping Dreams and Reality] [Description: In reality, a boss has appeared that current players cannot handleThe Dark Void Tree. Now, the Dream world and reality are set to overlap, with a ten-kilometer radius around The Dark Void Tree being designated as the overlap zone, incorporated into the Dream world. The time limit is two days, please Travelers eliminate all The Dark Void Trees within two days.] Luo Xi revealed a smile. He thought the Damn Text had run off. Turns out it was figuring out a solution. But what exactly does this DLC mean? [Note: Who do you think I am! (Proud~) As for what it means, probably that the worlds are overlapping?] ... [Big silly, what have you done, how much of our foundation has that guy taken from you?] [I cant stand you anymore, youre just making things harder for me! Cant you be a bit sharper! Or give me all the remaining strength of those living World Trees? What, you cant control those World Trees either? Why are you so feeble!] [Hurry up and find a solution for that worlds problem, or if the number of Travelers from Otherworld decreases, the channel between Two Worlds will fluctuate, and youll have to face that guy alone.] [Let me think of something myself? If I had a solution, would I need to discuss it with you? You big fool, youre not even as brave as my Agent, afraid to destroy in order to rebuild, are you?] [To overlay the Two Worlds for a short time? To use the trees or the powerful beings from your world to solve the problem on the other side? Its possible, but what about the remaining Origin? I need that for the operations to follow.] [Well done, big silly, you indeed have courage! (Proud~)] Chapter 360 - 262: Dragon Mama’s Anxiety, Red Dragon - Alexilita_1 Chapter 360: Chapter 262: Dragon Mamas Anxiety, Red Dragon - Alexilita_1[Update Content Loaded] [Locked all areas with The Dark Void Tree, overlapping of worlds in progress] [All living beings within a ten-kilometer radius of The Dark Void Tree have been excluded] [Warm Tip: All Travelers real bodies located in the overlapping areas will be transferred outside of the overlapping regions. They can enter the nearby overlapping areas by transferring their character roles. After completing the task, all characters will return to their original positions] [Tip 2: Even if a characters resurrection chances are exhausted, the real body can enter the overlapping area. Death is final, so please use this feature with caution. Once the real body enters, the Dream worlds body will temporarily disappear] At this moment, not just Luo Xi, but all of the players saw the update notification pop up before their eyes. Meanwhile, people who hadnt yet evacuated from around The Dark Void Tree, as well as cats, dogs, and even birds and insects, were instantly moved to locations beyond ten kilometers away. Luo Xi saw a black curtain swiftly spread, reaching thousands of kilometers in height, completely enveloping the area. Similar incidents were occurring all over the world; the black curtains enwrapped the ominous Divine Trees like nesting dolls. Jiujian couldnt believe it, "Has Dawns game admin stepped in?" In reality, confronting those things meant true death. Few had the courage to genuinely risk their lives and fight against them. But it was different in the Dream world. Resurrecting three times a day was their biggest confidence booster. Luo Xi glanced at the Damn Text and laughed, "Probably? Shall we go and have a look there now? First let me go tell them about it." He returned to the bedroom upstairs in the villa. Only then did Luo Xi realize that Aina was no longer in the bed. Her intimate pajamas were all that remained, and Ai Xue was yawning as she tidied the bed. "Senior?" Ai Xue, rubbing her sleepy eyes, handed him the clothes and said, "Senior, did you smell the fragrance on these? The two sisters scents are nearly the same. Could you ask them what brand of body wash they use? Its so fragrant, I wanted to bury my head and inhale it last night." Luo Xi took them without thinking. Pajamas and... a tiny pair of panties. A scent of flowers assailed his senses. Ai Xue also groggily realized she might have done something terrible. She immediately blushed, snatched the clothes back, and stuffed them under the duvet. Sarch* The N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Ai Xue pretended to be calm and asked, "Senior, do you need my help with anything today?" ... In the Dream world. Aina suddenly leaped up from the cradle. Weier, who was asleep in the adjacent bed, was shocked awake by the noise. Her light red eyes looked over in panic, and she hurriedly asked, "Aina, are you back from over there? How is the situation?" Aina hopped down from the cradle and bounded over to the bed to embrace Weier, rubbing her forehead against Weiers face and speaking softly, "Brother Luo Xi was captured by a girl who is the incarnation of a king-level dragon and taken to be raised as a child. However, Aina suspects the Dragon Mama wants to engage in nurturing play before devouring him clean." Weier: "?" Captured to be raised as a child? Was there even such a thing? Concerned, Weier asked, "Will he come back?" "Not sure." Aina shook her head, "Brother Luo Xi said he would do his best, the dragon seems quite nice to him. He should be released soon." Weier was about to ask more when suddenly the ground shook violently. The chandelier on the bedroom ceiling shattered as it fell onto the center of the floor. Then, amidst the shaking, a shower of debris fell from above. Weier attempted to pick up Aina to run outside only to be held down as her sister enveloped her in a protective embrace. "Aina!" When Weier looked up, she was astonished to see that the falling debris was blocked a meter away and compressed by a golden light into flat shapes. This was Ainas mutated ability... Ainas body trembled slightly as she forced a smile and said, "Aina can protect her sister too!" Her eyelids then closed involuntarily. As the debris controlled by Aina fell, Weier rolled with her toward the wall, and they both passed through the wall, falling onto the soft soil below. The earthquake continued for quite some time before stopping. "Are you young ladies alright?" The voice of the butler, Ulysses, rang out from above. He opened the window and looked down to see Weier signaling all is well, which relieved him. Ulysses squinted into the distance. Normally, the area under the Divine Trees Blessing, even during an earthquake, shouldnt have been this severe. This quake was powerful enough to reduce the town, currently under reconstruction, back to rubble. A moment later, Ulyssess eyes widened in shock as he exclaimed, "What is that?!" About a dozen kilometers from Belgri, a semi-transparent square white curtain rose, showing towering strange buildings inside, with a grayish black glow at its center. It was somewhat like the Blessing Glory from the Divine Tree, but it gave off an entirely different sense. Weier held the unconscious Aina in her arms and looked gloomily towards the site of the disturbance. Was that thing responsible for the earthquake? Wait! Didnt those buildings resemble those from Luo Xis world? Why had they appeared here? Chapter 361 - 262: Dragon Mama’s Anxiety, Red Dragon - Alexilita_2 Chapter 361: Chapter 262: Dragon Mamas Anxiety, Red Dragon - Alexilita_2Beyond the Blessing Glory, the Belgri Records suddenly appeared, and the Belgri Divine Tree trembled its branches and leaves toward the direction of the Black Divine Tree. Sizzling Immediately afterward, Weier saw swarms of unidentifiable creatures emerging from that black Divine Tree, rushing toward them like a tide. Weier watched everything with a tingling scalp. What on earth is happening? ... /// Ande watched the updated text with an expressionless face. The response from the other side was also very timely. I didnt expect them to have the ability to throw regions from the real world into the Dream world. If I could master that ability, maybe I could skip many steps in my plan to conquer both worlds one day, if I could fully integrate the Two Worlds? He knelt on the ground, making a devout prayer to the idol and reported the recent turn of events. [Do not worry, that being has also exposed that She cannot erase the things that appear in that world, proved Her weakness, this time weve reaped a lot] [Thou may lead thy followers to kill those Otherworld Travelers, to disrupt their plans] "Great master, what about the person who caused trouble in that town last time? Didnt you say he might be our worlds will Agent, and if the world will cannot take action, then if we kill him now..." [Thou may try once] "Yes!" Ande ended the prayer satisfied. Last time when he was collecting the power of wishes and ideals, someone suddenly thwarted his plan, thrusting the remaining negative emotions onto him, making him suffer for a long time. Although he couldnt remember the mans face. But he knew the name of that town. It was the very first trap he had set after first arriving in this world. Moreover, with Luo Xis various videos on the international forums lately, Ande speculated that the guy was Luo Xi, and he might have become the controller of the Divine Tree of that town. In reality, Ande dared not confront him directly. He feared that the existence that created "Dawn" would know of him and have the power to erase him instantly. But, the Dream world was different. The master already occupied half of this worlds territory. Carrying the masters Strength, he was the protagonist and Skywalker of this world! ... /// Outside the black barrier. Jiao Qian touched the barrier with his hand. [Do you wish to enter with your character?] [Friendly reminder: After entering, you can only act within the barrier area and cant leave. Once the task is completed, you will be sent back to your original location] [Friendly reminder 2: Travelers can also search for The Dark Void Tree bosses scattered across the Pan Continent on their own] "Then Ill go in first." Jiao Qian, together with a group of experts who had been summoned, nodded to Luo Xi and chose to enter with their characters. Luo Xi looked at his text and twitched at the corner of his mouth. He just remembered that his character in the Dream world was still sleeping at the Red Dragon Florecias. He would at least have to wait until about ten oclock tonight to wake up. But since there were so many people going in, maybe it wouldnt be a big problem if he went in later. Maybe he could save some effort? Clap clap clap In an instant, everyone who had chosen to enter with their characters collapsed to the ground, wrapped with prism-like objects, leaving Luo Xi stunned. [Friendly reminder: Due to special influences, the text will temporarily lose effect. All Travelers entering the range of The Dark Void Tree will load in Dreamland Synchronous Mode (HD Mode), with no time limit, and the Travelers bodies will enter Guard Mode] Does this mean I cant proceed with the text form? Actually, it doesnt really affect Luo Xi. He had died many times in synchronous mode. But for many people, probably they have never really tasted death. Luo Xi furrowed his brow. He didnt know what to do next. Just sit here and wait? He took out his phone and logged into the international hunter forum to take a look. A live stream video posted by someone was hanging on the homepage. Luo Xi clicked in and immediately realized that the surrounding environment in the live video looked familiar. Fxxk, isnt that my Belgri Town? Proudly laughing in the Kobayashi Wild, "Ladies and gentlemen, do you see? A huge Black Divine Tree has appeared outside my town. Hurry up and destroy this broken place, this dog Lord trapped me here to work for nothing, Im utterly opposed to him!" Luo Xis face darkened. A Black Divine Tree sprouted outside Belgri Town? How could it be such a coincidence? [Note: Garbage Traveler, bad things are staring at you!] Luo Xi pondered for a moment. Since I cant enter with my game character, then, Ill go in by myself. Luo Xi took out his phone and called the logistics person in charge at the Traveler Bureau. After the phone was answered, he immediately asked, "Tell me, that Black Divine Tree outside Belgri Town, where is it?" "Belgri Town?" "The one thats being live-streamed on the hunter forum." "Please hold, I will check for you." "Hmm." Three minutes later. Sar?h the ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Luo Xi received an email. "Its in Nanjing City of our country. The Black Divine Tree is four hundred meters tall." "Thank you, can you arrange a plane for me?" Two hours later. Luo Xi boarded a helicopter and arrived directly at Nanjing City. From the sky, he saw a black square cover identical to the one in Haicheng. "Thank you for your help." Luo Xi opened the cabin door, nodded slightly to the crew, and leaped down into it. Chapter 362 - 262: Dragon Mama’s Anxiety, Red Dragon - Alexilita_3 Chapter 362: Chapter 262: Dragon Mamas Anxiety, Red Dragon - Alexilita_3... Florecia detected a foul stench, pervasive in all directions. It originated from the same source as something in the sea. She had tangled with this smell for thousands of years, and could smell it from hundreds of kilometers away. Red Dragon growled unhappily towards the sky. She wanted to burn these things to ashes. At that moment, she noticed Luo Xi, trembling on the ground. "Child... whats wrong with you?" Suddenly, various elements that signified life on Luo Xi returned to the void. His body dissipated rapidly in a way Florecia couldnt comprehend. "No! Dont!" Florecia reverted to the form of the Dragon Horn girl, trying to grasp whatever was leaving Luo Xis body, but in the end, she only caught a handful of shattered light spots. "Who is it? Who has taken my child... Huh?!" Before Florecias anger could erupt, she sensed a blood-linked strength calling out to her from a great distance, as if across the entire Confused Mountain Range. The Luo Xi here just vanished, then she felt his presence on the other side of the Confused Mountain Range... This was definitely not a coincidence! She had to check it out. Florecias figure transformed back into a gigantic dragon and took off into the sky, crossing the borders of the Confused Mountain Range towards the eastern edge of the Pan Continent. As she soared to ten-thousand meters, a majestic voice rang in her ear. "Florecia, have you forgotten your duty? Go back!" Florecia said anxiously, "Lord, I must find my offspring and ensure his safety. I will return very soon." Sarch* The N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "If your aura disperses, the creatures in the sea will immediately come ashore." "Give me one hour!" "Not even an hour... Hm? Whats that emerging below... Is that a corrupted Divine Tree?" A giant black dragon, easily ten times larger than Red Dragon and resembling a mountain range, suddenly appeared beside her, its crimson-gold eyes fixed on Red Dragon. Florecia bowed her head in respect and submission. After a moment of silence, the black dragon said, "Well then, if you must go, go. I will consult with Alexilita; these things must be cleaned up quickly, and only her Soul Fire Flame can completely eradicate them." No sooner had Black Dragons words fallen silent than a cold voice sounded. "I am already here." Roughly the same size as the black dragon, a vivid red dragon, Red Dragon, appeared by Florecias side, its crimson-gold flames seeming to burn eternally upon it. Florecias head dipped even lower. Compared to the Black Dragon Lord who had supported her, this was the strongest figure in their dragon lineage. Red DragonAlexilita, the symbol of eternal and undying flame. Red Dragon said, "Theres no need for us to intervene yet. Those creatures at their peak are only Tier Five; the races on the ground will resolve it themselves. We mustnt let these things divert our attention." Black Dragon paused, "That is true..." Florecia instantly became anxious. Was it possible that her child was in trouble because of those creatures? "Bahamut, Alexilita, my Lords, I am leaving first!!" The form of Red Dragon swiftly crossed over to the other side of the mountain range. "...What is she doing?" "Going to see her offspring." "She has offspring? Wait, she left, what about the sea area shes guarding?" "Why dont you go and breathe some fire there?" "..." Chapter 363 - 263 Dragon Lady: Don’t Hurt My Child! Die! _1 Chapter 363: Chapter 263 Dragon Lady: Dont Hurt My Child! Die! _1City of Light. Under the blessing of the Eternal Divine Tree, a group of bishops clad in white was getting ready to set out in the city filled with a warm, luminous glow. Dozens of flying ships had been prepared. The Noah Church, totaling sixteen bishops and archbishops, included four of Tier Five and twelve of Tier Four. They would disperse throughout the territory of the Shining Country, following the edicts of the Eternal World TreeNoah, and cleanse those Fallen Trees that had arisen on the root network. The same scenario unfolded in the remaining four countries across the Pan Continent. An older man, whose visage was etched with age, was aboard a flying ship headed toward the region of Belgri Town. ... [Traveler, welcome to the journey of dreams] [Since you have come to the overlapping area between the two realms in your true body, you cannot resurrect after death, please exercise extra caution] Luo Xi stood atop a hundred-meter-tall building in Nanjing City, his clothes rustling in the cold wind. The Xia country was still in the summertime this season, but upon arriving here, the temperature had plummeted to below minus ten degrees. It seemed that after the real world overlapped with the Dream World, the environment of the Dream World took precedence. He looked around and noticed that unlike the black, square boxes of reality, the barriers in the Dream World were white and semi-transparent. Through the barrier, Luo Xi could see the Belgri Divine Tree that stood about ten kilometers away. At the same time, a different kind of call than before surged over him. The Belgri Records were summoning him to return. He also saw numerous obscure black creatures ramming against the edges of the white barrier. The barrier visibly rippled but seemed like it would hold for a period of time. Those were monsters that had emerged from the Black Divine Tree. Some resembled the Locust Disaster Lakast Luo Xi had encountered before. Luo Xi turned his head to look at the Black Divine Tree. This Black Divine Tree, standing around four hundred meters, was now on the same level as the Winter Divine Tree. Although he had rashly rushed in, he didnt possess enough power to conquer it. [Note: Damn Traveler, you can find a strong player to cling to!] Huh? Where would he find a strong player? In Winter City, although Hill had enough strength within the city, outside of it, he was just a young child. Weiers mother was also nowhere to be found now. Perhaps he could call over the Red Dragon Lady? But he couldnt leave this overlapping area right now. And Florecia had said she couldnt leave that place for long. [Ding! You have triggered the global epic quest: The EvilThe Dark Void Tree] [Quest Briefing: An evil being has fused the empty husks of destroyed Divine Trees with the souls of humanity in reality, creating the nefarious The Dark Void Tree.

[Current number of The Dark Void Trees remaining: 108] [Description: After the The Dark Void Tree in the area is destroyed, Travelers may choose to return immediately or proceed to the next area] [Contribution Points Leaderboard has been updated] A lengthy leaderboard appeared in front of Luo Xi. From the first to the one-hundredth, the one at the top of the list with the highest contribution was Wena Brana [Souls], with a score of 1001. This really gave off the feeling of playing a game. Although Luo Xi always thought of "Dawn" less as a game and more like another life in an otherworld, for most people, it probably felt more game-like. And this damn text event had outright created an atmosphere reminiscent of a web game with everyone teaming up to fight a world boss. Whats that saying? As long as you dare to show your health bar, even the gods will take you down. "Ura! The Legend talent is mine!" In the distance, Luo Xi heard someone shouting Ura! and then rushing toward the Black Divine Tree. They were quite spirited! Luo Xi squinted to get a better look. Lets see what kind of strength the other players have. After the player killed a few black creatures on the ground with a machete, Swoosh! The grey-black radiance of the Black Divine Tree suddenly dissipated as a sticky tentacle stretched out and instantly swept them away, pulling them into the trunks interior and swallowing them whole. Luo Xi: "..." He immediately lost all hope that these people could make any contribution. The damn text had moved the battlefield to the Dream World; on one hand, they didnt want to cause destruction in the real world, and on the other, they probably hoped to borrow the power of the powerful beings in the Dream World. Players who were only Tier Three at best could consider themselves lucky if they managed to stay alive. There was no way they could destroy those nightmarish things. However, if they could maintain the present secure situation and wait for reinforcements... Luo Xis expression suddenly changed. The Black Divine Tree began to tremble, and a human face appeared on the trunk, exuding a spine-chilling sense of horror. That face, Luo Xi remembered seeing it when he first entered the dream within a dream of all the people in Belgri; it belonged to the man with the monocle. It was him. Why was his face here? Had he turned himself into a Black Divine Tree as well? Still in shock, Luo Xi watched as that face turned to look at him, revealing a ghastly smile. Some unspeakable force traveled along with him into this closed-off area. The white square barrier that enveloped the sky shattered in an instant! [Ding! Warning, due to an unknown force entering, the restrictions between the two realms have been lifted. The traveler whose real body has entered the Dream World will be sent back in five minutes! (Otherwise, due to conflicting rules, they will perish.)] Luo Xi felt a strong force in this world expelling his presence. Fxxk! He couldnt just leave like this. The thing inside that Black Divine Tree was clearly targeting him, their second direct confrontation was unfolding. If Luo Xi were to leave, Belgri Town facing the Black Divine Tree would undoubtedly be defeated. Is there no other way, Damn Text? [Note: The rules of reality and the Dream World are not yet aligned; thus, with the buffering barrier gone, theres no solution anymore~] Luo Xi fell silent. He took out the three scrolls given to him by Liya that were marked "Do not use unless absolutely necessary" (Chapter 194). He still wanted to struggle. Scrolls, open! When opened, the three scrolls transformed into countless rune light points, which then gathered together. In front of Luo Xi, a transparent humanoid phantom appearedit was none other than Weiers mother, Lady Liyas avatar. Her light blue dress flowed against her snow-white, undulating figure, her black hair complemented her purple eyes, and her delicate face, resembling Weiers, looked somewhat rigid. As expected, it was a rune projection. Luo Xi had already guessed as much. Liya herself had the ability to create projected avatars. It was normal for her to leave a contingency with him. Had it not been that Yuan Su in the Furnace Core could no longer alter its rune sequence, Luo Xi would have even suspected Lord Mother-in-law would sneak a projection in to spy on him, to prevent him from doing anything strange to her daughter. Soon, a gleam appeared in the stiff avatars eyes. She was initially startled by the sight of the Black Divine Tree, then turned to look at Luo Xi, frowning, "What is that? How did you provoke such a monster? Where are Weier and the others now?" "Theyre still safe." Luo Xi immediately said, "Lord Mother-in-law... no, Lady Liya, please hold off for a moment here, Ill take them to a safe place." Liya: "..." Although what I wrote initially was not to use it unless absolutely necessary, dont you think a little too highly of me? With the intensity of the Yuan Su revealed by that thing, if her real body was here, relying on her Grandmaster-level rune skills, she might be able to cope. Now, she could only barely defend. During the conversation, the wave of monsters and tentacles controlled by the Black Divine Tree had already attacked. Liya said in a deep voice, "I can spare at most one minute." "Thats enough!" Luo Xi instantly activated his Dragonization LV2 skill. His elongated dragon tail and wings unfurled, with the left wing ablaze with bright red flames and the right engulfed in dark flames. The interwoven flames of different colors created thrust, propelling Luo Xis flying speed to over 500 meters per second. A sphere of white sonic boom formed behind him. In just about forty seconds, Luo Xi covered a distance of over ten kilometers and arrived above Belgri Town, with the Belgri Records eagerly descending upon him. A sea of white runes had already formed behind him. Exercising the rights of the True Canon, Luo Xis thoughts swept through, locating Weier and Aina, and teleported right next to them. Without a word, he attempted to whisk them away. Weier, who was still tending to the fainted Aina, was startled by the sudden presence beside her. She was about to throw a punch when she realized it was Luo Xi. "Luo Xi, youre back?!" Before Weier could feel relieved, Luo Xi sternly said, "Quick, leave through the Hollow Flower." Weier shook her head, "Ive tried already, the Hollow Flower cant be used." "What?" Luo Xis heart suddenly turned cold. Weier raised her hand, pointing to the distant sea of runes, and whispered, "Is that, my mother?" "Its a rune projection," said Luo Xi. "I see," Weier clenched her fist and quietly said, "I thought my mother came back..." Luo Xis face grew stern as he saw the sea of runes beginning to disappear. Lord Mother-in-laws projection was fading. Forget it, reset.... Although he had come in his true body, he had been through real death before and was no longer afraid of such an end. At that moment, a thunderous roar came from the sky. "Who dares to harm my children! Die!" Luo Xi: "?" A massive fireball, covering the entire Black Divine Tree and resembling a falling star, descended from the heavens and devoured the twisted face within. Weier looked puzzled, "Whats that?" Luo Xi swallowed his saliva but with a look of joy said, "Now, its my mother who has arrived." Weier: "..." [Note: With troubles, its mother; without them, its the Dragon Lady, sister. Traveler, youre such garbage!] Chapter 367 - 265 Dragon Mama: What is your relationship? Cat Cat: We’re married! (7k)_1 Chapter 367: Chapter 265 Dragon Mama: What is your relationship? Cat Cat: Were married! (7k)_1Weier stared at the two people ahead, biting her own lip, her pale red eyes filled with a touch of grievance. The woman who transformed from the Red Dragon had dealt her a heavy blow as soon as she arrived. She herself hadnt even been that close to that guy yet. Since they met, theyve only kissed... kissed a few times. And are you sure thats a mother? What kind of mother shoves her child towards that place with such force upon meeting them? Is it so great to have a big chest? A nameless fury bubbled up inside Weier as she hugged Aina, her little hand clutching her sisters tail and unknowingly applying a bit of force, pushing down the fluffy tail hair and pinching the flesh beneath the layers of fur. Aina, who had been pretending to be asleep, couldnt hold back any longer because of Weiers forceful action. The Little Wolf Girl leaped out from Weiers embrace, pinning Weier beneath her, revealing her small fangs and said fiercely, "Sister Weier, what are you doing! That hurts!" Weier said with a (n) face, "I knew you were faking sleep, Aina. Stop it, look over there, your Brother Luo Xi is about to be snatched away by another woman! Think of something quick!" "..." Aina turned to look at Luo Xi, who was tightly embraced by the Dragon Horn girl, her pretty eyebrows slightly downturned, her delicate face showing a helpless and sad expression. Sister Weier thinks too highly of her. What can she do? Go up there with a kitchen knife and chop? Sar?h the N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Im afraid that in an instant the knife will melt into molten iron, and I might get burned to ashes while still having to watch Brother and that Dragon girl hugging and being lovey-dovey together. Aina had come to realize that when facing weaker girls like Winnie or Little Lin in the past, she could still take some initiative, but when the other party was far stronger than her, there was nothing she could do. Why would such a strong woman take a fancy to Brother Luo Xi? Aina didnt believe the story about the Dragon Horn girl simply raising Luo Xi as her child. She had once read a novel where the male protagonist, a member of the Human Clan, picked up a little girl from the Demonic Clan, and after raising her, they got married! Aina thought sadly. She couldnt do anything. She could only watch as Brother Luo Xi was taken away by another woman. Just thinking about it made her feel extremely uncomfortable. It was Aina who liked Brother first! Oh, it seems like the woman from Brother Luo Xis world was the first one... It doesnt matter anymore. Anyway, that woman could only watch helplessly from the sidelines like they did. Aina placed her small hand on Weiers shoulder, closed her tea-golden eyes, and whispered, "Sister Weier, when you have a chance, why dont you just devour Brother Luo Xi?" Weier was stunned. Devour? What do you mean, devour? Like an Origin Beast devouring humans? Seeing her sisters dumbfounded expression, Aina, somewhat frustrated with her, said, "Like in those novels and tales, priestesses and nuns offering up their pure bodies to keep the hero by their side, turning the raw rice into a cooked meal by having a child, and then they can firmly tie the hero to themselves." "Aina, what are you talking about!" After listening, Weiers ears hidden beneath her silver hair turned utterly red, and she covered her hot face with both hands. Aina was just too fanciful! Such things, those things should be done after getting married, right? "Youre so useless, sister." Aina said firmly, "Since Sister cant do it, then Aina herself will have to take action!" Weier spoke with her head spinning, "Youll get caught!" "Aina isnt afraid." "Its that guy whos going to be caught! You silly sister, you really say anything, and if Mother finds out, Mother..." "Then, Sister, do you want to join?" "No way! Together with two people..." "Ahem." A cough echoed beside the two sisters. Ulysses had arrived unnoticed and looked fearfully at the Dragon Horn girl who was forcefully cramming their Lord into her embrace, as though he felt the presence of a dragon standing there. He reflected on the disappearing figure of the Red Dragon. No way, right? But his intuition told him it was just as he suspected. Otherwise, how could one explain the Red Dragon coming to their aid, and with such perfect timing? Moreover, both individuals had a pair of dragon horns atop their heads. It seemed like a good thing that their Lord had such a close relationship with a King-ranked Dragon Origin Beast, to some extent. However, it looked like the Lords two little wives were quite dissatisfied with the situation. Understandable, who would want to share the person they liked with someone else? Back when Lord Andrew was around, his dozen or so wives and concubines were always at each others throats. As the manors steward, Ulysses had to hustle every day due to those womens palace intrigues, harboring great resentment in his heart. Now things were better. Since the new Lord took over, Ulysses had sent all those women to work in a textile factory; if they didnt work, they didnt eat, allowing him to vent his anger. In a low voice, Ulysses said, "Little Madams, you dont have to worry too much, no matter what, you definitely have a place in the Lords heart. Also, it seems inappropriate for me to stay here, so Ill take my leave." Chapter 368 - 265 Dragon Mama: What is your relationship? Cat Cat: We’re married! (7k)_2 Chapter 368: Chapter 265 Dragon Mama: What is your relationship? Cat Cat: Were married! (7k)_2Weier: "..." That comfort was worse than no comfort at all. Aina, however, seemed quite happy about it. She really liked being called "Little Madam~" On the other side. With a strong tug, Luo Xi finally managed to pull his head out of the soft, snowy embrace. If he kept being buried like that, he wouldnt need the Dream World to drive him outhed likely suffocate in the bosom of the Dragon Lady. The Dragon Horn girl immediately tried to press Luo Xis head back into her chest. Luo Xi shook his head repeatedly, saying, "Lets not do this for now!" Florecia pointed her index finger in front of Luo Xi, her crimson, vertical pupils staring at him as she spoke deliberately, "Child, youve forgotten again, you should call me Mama!" "Uh... Florecia Mama." "Thats right." The Dragon Horn girl was satisfied as she rubbed Luo Xis head and then said, "Do you really not need Mamas embrace anymore?" Luo Xi subconsciously glanced at the snow-white skin accentuated by the black dress and struggled to shake his head. For some reason, he always felt the attraction of this Red Dragon Lady to him was even greater than that of Ai Xue during the day. [Note: Thats because this is a combination of the [Busty] + [Dragon Lady] + [Lolita] attributes! Its a brand new experience that you, as a scrappy Traveler, have never had before. Moreover, she wants to be your mother, and you want her to be your wife? Scrappy!] Damn text, get lost! When did I ever say anything like that? But speaking of wives... Luo Xi turned his head to look at Cat Cat and Aina, who had run off about ten meters away. [Ding! Aina/Weiers Anger Value +200] Both sisters were looking at him with very resentful eyes. Although clearly furious, Aina didnt come at him with a knife this time, nor did Weier come over to curse him for being a pervert. It was a kind of anger that dared not speak out. This made Luo Xi suddenly feel a bit uneasy, unable to figure out what the sisters were thinking. [Note: This Little Dragon Lady is constantly exuding the majesty of a Dragon King. You, scrappy Traveler, are her cheap child, of course, you dont feel it~] So thats how it is. The pressure that Florecia brought to others didnt fall on him at all. Weier and Aina, however, could feel it from far away, no wonder the two ran so far... "Look, over here!" Squeak Luo Xis head was forcibly twisted around. Florecia looked at Luo Xi and said earnestly, "Child, why did you suddenly disappear and then come over here? You almost scared Mama to death." "Because..." Luo Xi fell silent for a moment, then said, "Because Im not from this world." The Dragon Lady probably came searching for him the moment she noticed that his body over there had vanished. She had said before that she couldnt leave that coast at random, but this time, for his sake, she had gone against her own principles. So Luo Xi didnt mind telling her some of the truth about himself. In fact, as the number of Dreamland Travelers increased, it was becoming more and more difficult for the player community to maintain its mystique. "Not from this world..." A flash of realization crossed Florecias mind. No wonder there appeared a human who could perfectly blend her blood factor. As the monarch of the Red Dragon Species, part of the Origin Beast category, her blood factors volatility and instability were far greater than those of other Origin Beasts and other dragon categories. A normal human, once contaminated, would undergo rapid transformation and die shortly after. If Luo Xi was from another world, then the peculiarities about him could all be attributed to the reason of coming from another world. A child from the Otherworld... Florecia suddenly stuffed Luo Xi into her arms again, her beautiful face breaking into a radiant smile. Hehe, my child is from another world~ If one day I could Luo Xi (d????) awkwardly lifted his head and said, "My body here is about to disappear, and I dont know where Ill end up, maybe near the volcano..." Luo Xi didnt know where his body in the Dream World had gone, according to the Damn Texts description, after his original body had come in. Was it considered dead? Or simply vanished on the spot? "What? That cant be! Mama has to hurry back!" Florecia immediately became anxious, stood up, and spread her flames-ignited wings, ready to fly away. Indeed, it was time to go back. This trip was quite a risk for her. If, during her absence, those ghostly things from the sea came ashore, there would be trouble. Just then, another voice sounded in her ear. "Dont worry about the sea youre guarding. Alexilita has already spouted a burst of fire. Nothing will dare come close to the coast for the next three days. Its been thousands of years, take a few days off, and have some fun." Florecias wings faltered, she lifted her head to look at the gloomy sky, and bowed gratefully. But... if Luo Xi appeared near the volcano, she would still have to make a trip back. "May I ask... could you... please not take Brother Luo Xi away again." A soft, trembling voice rose. Luo Xi turned around in surprise to find Aina and Weier holding hands, having approached to within a meter of him. The Little Wolf Girls eyelids were slightly trembling, her wolf ears drooping to either side, her big tail tucked between her legs, and Weier was doing the same, her cat tail nervously twining around her own hand, foreheads glistening with sweat. It was clear how hard the two had to work to approach Luo Xi. sea??h th novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Florecia tilted her head in confusion, her crimson, golden dragon eyes fixating on the two humans who dared to come up and speak to her. Chapter 369 - 265 Dragon Mama: What is your relationship? Cat Cat: We’re married! (7k)_3 Chapter 369: Chapter 265 Dragon Mama: What is your relationship? Cat Cat: Were married! (7k)_3Hey? She blinked her eyes, repeatedly sweeping her gaze over Weier and Aina. No matter their current strengths, the bloodline factors within the bodies of these two humans were quite interesting. One of them, she seemed to have seen a thousand years ago when a black giant wolf was sprinting wildly on the Confused Mountain Range, running from the northernmost to the southernmost end of the Emerald Forest, all the way into her territory, its excessively flamboyant actions causing her discontent. So, she fought with it, her claws tearing open the wolfs hide, staining them with a trace of blood. This was why she could remember the other. The impression that wolf had left on her was indeed profound, with a lift of its paw, the several volcanoes around her were compressed into thin sheets of paper, and if not for her own strength surpassing it, even if she could win, she would likely have ended up in a sorry state. Could it be that guy also had offspring now? Hmm... should not really be considered offspring. This wolf-eared girl had not yet activated the true power within her bloodline factors, constantly suppressing the bloodline factors within her body. Otherwise, her strength wouldnt be so weak. Of course, its also possible that after full activation, continuous degeneration would follow, turning her into a mindless creature. That would be a failure of offspring. Without any value. As for this cat-eared girl, whose bloodline factors does she possess in her body? That seemingly void-like, hollow attribute... Across from her, under the sharp scrutiny of the Dragon Horn girls gaze, Weier and Aina involuntarily shivered. They felt like all the secrets of their bodies were seen through by this woman who had assumed the form of a Red Dragon. At this moment, a tall figure stood in front of them, Luo Xi. Luo Xi had noticed something was amiss with the two sisters, so he came over to shield them from Florecias gaze. Aina breathed a sigh of relief, seeing the familiar figure before her eyes blurred with tears as she rushed forward and hugged Luo Xi tightly around the waist. "Brother Luo Xi, can you not leave this time?" Aina whispered tearfully. Weier also moved closer, but she only grabbed Luo Xis hand, the dignity of an elder sister preventing her from showing more intimacy in front of others. Florecia spoke thoughtfully, "Is this the friend you mentioned last time, child? Weier was stunned. Did Luo Xi also mention them to this Red Dragon? What did he say? Luo Xi nodded, "This is Weier, this is Aina, they are sisters." "Your choice of friends is not bad," Florecia expressed her appreciation. If the memories of their human lives were not profound enough, then upon their transformation, they might lose all of their humanity and eventually become a vicious beast that knows nothing but killing. She had also said before, she hoped Luo Xi would cherish the time he still had as a human. After all, all high-tier Origin Beasts cannot procreate naturally, except for the initial batch that accompanied the arrival of the Eternal World Tree. To some extent, all high-tier Origin Beasts are transformed from humans and beings like Elves. Weier: "..." She realized that this Dragon Horn girl truly seemed to be observing them with the attitude of being Luo Xis mother, just like her own mother had done with Luo Xi. In that case, maybe this Red Dragon didnt pose such a great threat? Were she and Aina overthinking? [Note: Silly Cat Cat, maternal love is something that can potentially sour, you know~] Luo Xi: "?" What the heck. In the instant Luo Xi wanted to criticize Damn Text for going crazy again, he felt his body become hollow, and upon looking down, he realized his legs had vanished, his body was disintegrating from the bottom up. "Brother Luo Xi!" "Luo Xi!" "Child!" The panicked voices of three people sounded at once. However, Luo Xi could no longer hear any of them. ... "Is this the Black Death God Luo Xi from Haicheng?" "From facial recognition, it seems like it." "Why would he come to our Nanjing City?" "Maybe he wanted to join our citys travel bureau?" "Dont joke, the reason he came here is probably because of Belgri Town. From the records, he seems to have taken a helicopter from Haicheng two hours ago, arrived here at top speed, and then jumped from a height of four thousand meters, his body landing in the previous overlap zone." "Good grief, does he not fear death?" "Maybe thats just how big shots are." Amid the noisy discussion, Luo Xi frowned and opened his eyes. Dazzling sunlight entered his field of vision. Sar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Hes awake!" "Quick, get his autograph! The signature of the Black Death God will surely become a family heirloom in the future!" Luo Xi propped himself up to sit and looked towards the man speaking to him. It was an utterly average man in his thirties, plain-looking, the kind who you couldnt find in a crowd. Li Muyang smiled and handed over a blank board and a marker pen. "Big shot, how about an autograph?" "Me too, me too!" "Sign mine first!" A group of people gathered around Luo Xi making noise. Luo Xi: "..." He felt a strange sense of disconnection. Just a second ago, he was surrounded by Dragon Mama and the sisters Weier and Aina, engrossed in a bizarre Xiu Luo Field, and the next moment, he was back in reality, surrounded by people asking for his autograph. He expressionlessly took the pen and board from these people, casually signed his name, and then asked, "Where am I?" Chapter 370 - 265 Dragon Mama: What is your relationship? Cat Cat: We’re married! (7k)_4 Chapter 370: Chapter 265 Dragon Mama: What is your relationship? Cat Cat: Were married! (7k)_4 "So this is Nanjing City." Li Muyang said with some surprise, "Boss, didnt you come over in a helicopter to help?" Luo Xi nodded, indicating he knew. He glanced at his text. [Traveler, you have returned to your world. Would you like to restore your character at the original location or choose to resurrect at a safe location? (You cannot resurrect at the previous node this time.)] To restore at the original location would mean at that volcanic crater. For a safe location, Luo Xi remembered he had set it in the basement of Weiers original home on Grey Stone Street. Where? After pondering for a moment, Luo Xi chose the safe location. Florecia should still be in Belgri Town right now. With her perception of bloodlines, she should be able to detect his arrival immediately and come to pick him up. [Traveler, you have chosen to resurrect at a safe location.] [You have resurrected.] [You find yourself in the basement of Weiers original home. Although this is a direct resurrection and your head feels a bit dizzy, to make it easier for Dragon Mama to find you, you climb up the ladder to the upper floor and jump out from the living room of Weiers house.] [Suddenly, you discover that Grey Stone Street seems to have undergone significant changes, with the dilapidated buildings gone and signs of renovation everywhere.] [Did Hill do something to Grey Stone Street?] [Traveler, you cannot resist the urge to sleep and collapse on the ground, falling into a deep slumber.] [Estimated sleeping time: 10 hours 55 minutes.] Luo Xi: "..." Fortunately, the enhancements from the Dream world didnt carry over this negative effect to reality; otherwise, he would probably be deep asleep now as well. He dealt with the text and then asked the man next to him, "Has the issue with The Dark Void Tree here been resolved?" "Yeah, that Red Dragon was really powerful. It destroyed that black Divine Tree in an instant, and I was turned to ash immediately..." As Li Muyang spoke, he suddenly recalled that if he had been reduced to ash, how did Luo Xi survive? Sarch* The Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Or did he stay away from the battlefield and thus wasnt affected? Possible. After all, a person like Luo Xi wouldnt die so easily. "Make way, everyone, thats our special consultant, and were about to take him back now!" Several employees dressed in the Haicheng Travel Bureaus uniforms tried to squeeze through the crowd from the outside. "Are you colleagues from Haicheng? Dont be so stingy." "Right, hes our Black Death God." "Big guy, do you still want a Lolita? I know a legal Lolita, 25 years old, one meter forty in height, with a really cute face." "Youre talking about a dwarf!" With some helplessness, Luo Xi asked them to make room. Having dealt with the matters in Belgri Town, he felt much more at ease. Although he was somewhat tempted by the highest reward of the event, he figured if it wasnt possible, then so be it. Li Muyang caught up and asked Luo Xi in a whisper, "Boss, are you still in Belgri Town?" Luo Xi thought for a moment and replied, "Yes." "Then, can I come to see you?" "Feel free." Luo Xi waved his hand to clear the way, then got into the business car sent by Haicheng. First, he should rest a bit. Once his character in the Dream world wakes up, he can help take care of the Dark Void Tree in Haicheng. ... /// After Luo Xi vanished, Florecia almost failed to suppress her immense strength, and the sudden rise in temperature even ignited the big tail that Aina had always let hang between her legs. "A burnt smell..." Aina mumbled to herself for a while, not realizing the source of the smell until she noticed it came from below her. "Ah! Its on fire, its burning!" Weier quickly grabbed a basin, which had originally been filled with snow but had melted due to the high temperature, and splashed the water onto Ainas burning tail. Cat Cat anxiously asked, "Aina, are you okay?" The Little Wolf Girl sat on the ground, hugging the top of her tail that had turned black, and cried sorrowfully, "Its burnt, it smells so bad, ugh, sobs... Brother Luo Xi will never like Ainas tail again, Aina is going to be abandoned by Brother Luo Xi." Weier: "..." This silly sister is just too pessimistic. Florecia glanced over and initially wanted to pretend she hadnt seen it, but remembering that these two girls were friends of her child, she lowered her head and said, "Sorry." Her tone was very flat, without any warmth. Although the Mutant Factors in their bloodlines were quite interesting to her, in her view, they didnt carry much value beyond sparking her slight interest. Weier pursed her lips, holding Aina, her light red eyes meeting Florecias, and said somewhat defiantly, "Please control your power. The temperature in this town has risen so high all at once, and it will be too much for many people to handle." Without anyone noticing, the average temperature in Belgri Town had already reached around forty degrees, a high temperature that was impossible in the Shining Country. Even in the summer, the highest temperature in the Shining Country would never exceed twenty degrees. Many of the trees and flowers planted in winter had started to wither. Florecia was taken aback. She hadnt expected this frail human to dare speak to her like that. "What exactly is your relationship with my child?" she asked. Weier looked at Aina in her arms, hugging her tail and entering a state of self-closure, took a deep breath, and said, "Its a relationship that will lead to marriage." After saying it, Cat Cats cheeks turned red again, but the feeling of shyness inside her was quickly suppressed. Now that Luo Xi was not here, it was her duty to confront this terrifying Dragon Lady. "Marriage..." Listening to this term that seemed to have appeared only once every eight thousand years, Florecia fell into deep thought. Suddenly, she remembered that such a relationship indeed existed among humans. After marriage, that would be a lifelong companion, never to part, standing by each other through thick and thin. But, is it possible for two people to be together? Florecia furrowed her brows and said, "Both of you are?" "Yes!" Weier assertively said, "Aina and I are inseparable." "Weier sister..." Upon hearing Weiers words, tears uncontrollably fell from Ainas eyes. Weier sister was always like this, always giving her the best, including Brother Luo Xi. And Weier sister also loved Brother Luo Xi. Florecia nodded, "Okay, actually I also dont understand much about your human customs now." Eight thousand years was enough time for countless customs to arise. "And what about you?" Suppressing the fear in her heart, Weier asked, "Do you really just want to be his mother, and not turn him into your..." "Think what?" Florecia asked puzzled, "He is my child, after all." "Theres no bloodline connection between you two." "His body contains my bloodline factor." "The strength given by Mutant Factor might be called bloodline, but in reality, its just a path of Sublimation similar to that which Sublimated Venerators follow!" "..." Florecia suddenly felt herself growing a bit irritable. Her golden vertical pupils shone even more brilliantly. What exactly does this cat-eared girl want to say? Suddenly, the bloodline in her body gave a slight stir again. This time, it wasnt very far away. It was to the east. Therefore, Florecia instantly spread her wings and with a gentle flap, vanished from the spot. Left behind was a relieved Weier. She collapsed to the ground with a sigh of relief. That was really terrifying... Chapter 372 - 266: Dragon Mama’s First Showdown with the Sisters (800 more to be added tomorrow)_2 Chapter 372: Chapter 266: Dragon Mamas First Showdown with the Sisters (800 more to be added tomorrow)_2Hill paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay." "Lord Hill, you cant!" Alte cried out strenuously. Hill was still too young, without any offspring. If something were to happen to him, the possession of the Winter Divine Tree would become troublesome. Florecia hummed irritably, "Annoying human old man, if I were really to strike, what difference would it make whether its in the city or not? If youre not at ease, then come along." She instantly transformed into her dragon form, spanning over ten meters, grasping Hill and Alte with her claws, then lightly bit Hill and swung him onto her back, and took flight toward the west. Hill didnt resist the entire way. Because he noticed that it was only in the moment when the dragon saw Luo Xi that a touch of gentleness flashed through her tea gold vertical pupils. Did she truly see Luo Xi as her own child? A minute later. Hill saw a town sheltered by a hundred-meter-high Divine Tree. He remembered this town was called Belgri Town, originally involved in selling snowworms? Why would the Red Dragon come here? Within the lords manor. After the Red Dragon left, Weier immediately brought the broken Aina back to the manor. They found a clean set of clothes in the collapsed bedroom for Aina to change into. She helplessly looked at her sister, who was hugging her tail and spacing out. Ever since Aina met Luo Xi, she had changed a lot. In this way, that guy Luo Xi is extremely sinful. It wouldnt be an exaggeration to describe him as reborn. He managed to transform Aina from such a naive and cute child into her current self, who dares to wield a knife and cut another woman, sometimes even scaring Weier. Until now, Weier still had no idea how her sister was taken by Luo Xi. Suddenly, Weier noticed a slight rise in the rooms temperature. "Aina, she seems to be coming back. Lets go out," she said. Aina did not reply; she kept her head lowered and was snipping away with scissors, having cut off most of the burnt parts of her tail. But now, without the fluffy fur, it looked somewhat stark. It looks so ugly... and its not soft to the touch anymore. Aina pessimistically imagined the scene when Luo Xi would next see her tail. Would Brother Luo Xi lose interest in her afterward? That dragon girl is really hateful()! Why did she have to burn the tail that Brother Luo Xi liked the most?! If Aina had any strength, she would at least bite her a few times to get even. Sarch* The N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Aina!" Weier shouted heavily into Ainas ear to bring the Little Wolf Girl back from her pessimistic daydreams. Aina clutched her tail nervously and said, "Wh-what is it?" "That dragon girl is back; lets go take a look," Weier said. Weier took Ainas hand and walked toward the window, then both leapt out. Aina caught a glimpse of the light cat tail behind Weier and an idea flashed in her mind. Since she was not up to it for now, then let her sister go to Brother Luo Xi... after all, she couldnt give him a reason to find other women, like the big-tailed fox girl from last time. Her sister was really too hesitant when she had such an advantage in age over Aina. If their roles were reversed, Aina guessed she would have had Brother Luo Xi wrapped around her finger thoroughly by now, then no one else would ever get a part of him... Aina remembered what Weier had said before"Weier and Aina, we share everything." The Wolf Eared Lolita felt a pang in her heart. She and her sister shared everything! In a gust of searing wind, that frightening entity once again descended from the sky. Luo Xi, wrapped in red light, gently landed in front of the sisters. "Luo Xi!" "Brother!" Weier quickly leaned down to touch the tip of Luo Xis nose with her fingers, confirming he was still breathing, and relaxed slightly. After all, as long as he was alive, it was good. Even if Luo Xi said his death in this world didnt matter, Weier still didnt want to see him die. Who knows, maybe one day after dying, he wouldnt resurrect? Or perhaps, he would never be able to come to this world again? If one day, she could no longer see him, just the thought of such a possibility was like a stirring blade piercing through Weiers heart, causing her immense pain. She found that she, like Aina, had changed a lot. The old Weier had already gotten used to being alone or, should say, accustomed to living with just Aina. But then Luo Xi, this unreasonable and intrusive guy, entered her life, trying with his feeble strength to pull her out of the mire, turning her once-gray life into dazzling colors. A hot breeze blew through. Watching the approaching figure, Weiers eyes held an unprecedented determination. Even if it was the mightily powerful woman transformed from the Red Dragon intending to take Luo Xi away, Weier was not prepared to give up just like that. Otherwise, what would be the meaning of her choice to forsake reunion with her mother to follow Luo Xi? And even if you want to compete for a man, you have to abide by the basic rules, right? A fruit thats forcibly plucked wont be sweet! Weier tasted a slight metallic sweetness in her mouth, the blood that had seeped out from her unintentionally bitten lip. Aina also felt her sisters resolve. She, too, didnt want that dragon lady to take Luo Xi away again. Brother Luo Xi belongs to me and my sister! The Wolf Eared Lolitas tea gold pupils shone with exceptional brightness at that moment. "Why are you two on such high alert, whats the deal?" The girl with dragon horns, dressed in a lavish black gown, had already walked over, looking inexplicably at the two sisters. Chapter 373 - 266: Dragon Mama’s First Showdown with the Sisters (800 more to be added tomorrow)_3 Chapter 373: Chapter 266: Dragon Mamas First Showdown with the Sisters (800 more to be added tomorrow)_3Florecia sighed softly. She didnt care about the opinions of ordinary humans, but she still needed to pay some attention to how her childs friends saw her. The hostility from the two of them was quite obvious at a glance. But it wasnt the kind of hostility between enemies. They were probably afraid she would take Luo Xi and leave, right? After all, they were in a relationship that was expected to lead to marriage in the future. But Im the childs mother. Isnt your hostility towards me rather strange? If you two get married in the future, wont you also call me "Mother"? Hey... She suddenly began to feel a bit irritable. No, no one apart from my child has the right to call me mother! "Weier sister, why are you here too?" A boys childish voice came from behind Florecia. Weier was taken aback. Wasnt that voice Hills? Hill, supporting the nauseous Alte, came from behind; his blue eyes full of joy at seeing familiar faces. Weier blinked, "Hill, why are you here..." Hill signaled with his eyes and smiled, "I was worried Luo Xi might run into danger, so I followed her here. I didnt expect to meet you; this is really great." "That so..." Weier nodded, "How about you come and sit at the estate? Although a part of it collapsed due to the earthquake, the pavilion is still there." "This is your estate?" "Its a long story, Luo Xi has done a lot of things..." Smack! A crisp snap startled everyone present. Weiers fur instantly stood on end, and when she turned around, she saw the Dragon Horned red-haired girls tail snap to the ground, looking at her with eyes like that of a predator targeting prey, and the corner of her mouth dripping with clear, glistening liquid. A warm little hand rested on her shoulder. Florecia, with a (???) expression, said, "I also want to know about my childs affairs; could you let me listen in?" Weier: "..." At that moment, she felt that the overwhelming Dragon Lady wasnt so scary anymore. ... Luo Xi couldnt help but doze off on the ride back. Sear?h the ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. When he woke up, it was already three hours later. The text displayed that his Dream world self was still asleep. He didnt know what the situation was over there. Florecia wouldnt do anything to Cat Cat and Aina, right? Just in case, Luo Xi had already told her that Weier and the others were his friends. Of course, he was also prepared to rewind time at any moment. If he entered the Dream world at night and saw a tragic outcome, he would choose to restart without hesitation. Now, Luo Xi could only hope that Dragon Mama would be more temperate, at least for his sake. According to a player who had used up three resurrection opportunities, The Dark Void Tree on their side had received a powerful native from the Dream world, and now the two sides were at a stalemate. Director Jiao Qian and the group from the Nine Swords hadnt emerged yet. Luo Xi didnt want to get involved right away either. After all, there was still enough time for today. Having shuttled back and forth between two cities for a day on top of the subtle changes occurring within him, he just wanted to lie in a bathtub filled with ice water and sleep. When Luo Xi entered the open villa, a soft body with a fresh scent threw itself into his arms. "Senior, youre finally back." After hugging Luo Xi tightly for a minute, Ai Xue smiled and said to him, "Now that Senior is back, I can go there with peace of mind." She had also wanted to participate in this DLC event. However, upon hearing about Luo Xis reckless actions from logistics, she had been anxious for quite some time. Now that she saw Luo Xi back, she finally felt relieved. "Sorry..." "Its okay, it was for those two sisters, wasnt it?" Ai Xue released her grip and placed her hands behind her back. She chuckled, "Besides, if Senior hadnt gone to save them, then you wouldnt be the Senior I like." Luo Xi: "..." "Senior, Ill go ahead first. Im going to earn some Points over there, at least bring back some Rewards." Ai Xue walked briskly towards the car parked in the yard. Watching the girls departing figure, Luo Xi felt a bit melancholic. The reason he could still maintain such restraint, navigating between several girls and leaving himself plenty of room, was because the Two Worlds could not truly interconnect. If one day the barrier between the Dream world and reality was lifted... [Note: Celebrate, for that will be the day of destruction for LuoMaster of Time ManagementXi!] Celebrate my ass! ... Belgri Town. In a wooden pavilion within the Lords estate. Alte and Hill sat together in a corner, while Weier, Aina, and Florecia sat opposite each other. Luo Xi was laid on the bench in the pavilion. There were two teapots on the table. At Florecias insistent request, Weier took two hours to slowly recount everything that happened after they met Luo Xi, up to the present. Of course, she left out quite a bit, like all the perverted things Luo Xi did, like touching her and Ainas tails, as well as omitting the fact that one could enter his world through the cradle and nest. Florecia, unsatisfied, asked, "Is that all?" "Yes," replied Weier, her voice bitter, "Actually, when it comes down to it, we havent known him for very long, and we havent created too many wonderful memories." "But..." Then, with a shift in tone, the resolute Cat Cat declared, "That guy is very important to both me and Aina. If we lost him, we wouldnt know how to live." "So please dont take him away." Aina nodded continually beside her. What Weier sister was saying was exactly what she wanted to express. "My child is really something, isnt he?" Florecia glanced at the two sisters with a somewhat strange tone. She remembered that in Humanity, Weier and Ainas apparent age should fall into the young category, considered cute, but could they really get married? So her child liked this kind? By the way, what did she look like now? Since becoming the Dragon Origin Beast, she hadnt seen her human form for a long time. If not for wanting to meet Luo Xi, she guessed she wouldnt have taken human form at all. While Florecia was deep in thought, Aina whispered, "Can we call you Mom like brother does?" Weier: "!?" "No." The Dragon Lady firmly denied the request. "Oh..." Ainas head hung low, and she pouted. The test was over. Rejecting so flatly, there must be a ghost in her heart! Hmph, so much for being his mom; I bet you just want to fatten brother up and devour him! Chapter 375 - 268 Aina: Can we share the brother together? Dragon Lady: Sure_1 Chapter 375: Chapter 268 Aina: Can we share the brother together? Dragon Lady: Sure_1The Noah Church, as can be inferred from its name, is the church that worships the Eternal World TreeNoah and is the only orthodox state religion of the Shining Country. With a population of sixty million, most cities with a population exceeding 50,000 have a branch of the Noah Church. Sometimes, the bishops status within these branches can even surpass that of the local City Owner. Though Lucas strength hasnt reached Tier Five, by virtue of his bishop-level priesthood and prayers to the Noah Divine Tree, he can use Tier Five Divine Skills within the territory of the Shining Country. And the root attribute of the Noah Divine Tree is "light and judgment." When light and judgment descend, all sins cannot hide; therefore, even though he knew from the divine oracle of the Noah Divine Tree that the Fallen Divine Tree here possessed great strength, he was quite confident. As long as he had enough time to use Divine Skills, everything would turn out fine. Inside the airship, a dainty woman released her grip from massaging Lucas leg, pressed herself closer, and said with seductive eyes, "Lord, do you require more service?" "Heh, youre already so eager?" A wisp of lecherousness flashed across Lucas eyes. This woman was picked up by him on the way here. Sarch* The N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Actually, although the journey from the Shining City to this remote town was quite long, it was only a distance of 4,000 kilometers, and with the normal speed of the airship, it could be reached within a maximum of 7 hours after departure in the morning. However, he landed at a town halfway for a meal, and upon spotting the beauty of this woman, he took her along with him. Luca never refused a woman. His requirements for a woman were simple: top-level appearance and figure. He had even indulged himself with Variants and found them quite fresh. After all, as a high-tier sublimated person, he couldnt be infected by the Mutant Factor; even if a Variant conceived his child, the handling method was straightforward: simply purify the entire thing. Luca vigorously kneaded the womans softness and laughed, "Lets wait for tonight. You cant handle me alone, later Ill have the local Lord send over a few more women, to serve me alongside you." The womans pretty face blushed as she said, "Lydia will be waiting for Lords favor~" "Tsk, you woman are the most proactive Ive seen in years." Luca said teasingly, "Tell me, what do you want to gain from me?" Wriggling like a catfish, the woman said, "Lord, you jest, how could Lydia possibly have such thoughts?" "Youve pleased me all afternoon; as long as its not excessive, you can ask for anything." "Can Lydia help Lord with x?" "Hmm? Are you sure this is what you want to request for me?" "Yes, Lydia just wants to serve Lord." "Haha, then come here, the townsfolk seem to have come out, but never mind them. They dare to be so negligent towards me; Ill leave them hanging for an hour or two first." "Lord~ Is it comfortable?" "Mmm, your skills are quite proficient..." ... Weier looked at the large, luxurious airship parked outside of Belgri Town. About a dozen servants had drawn a cordon around it. To prevent her identity as a Mutant Patient from being recognized at a glance, Weier wore a hat to cover her cat ears and hid her tail within her clothes, but upon approaching the airship, she was still stopped by the servants. Ulysses stepped forward to make introductions. However, the servant spoke with a disdainful look, "Dont come any closer. The archbishop needs to attend to important matters and will not descend from the airship until two hours later. You can use this time to prepare the grandest welcoming ceremony and must not neglect the archbishop, Lord. Also, gather all the most beautiful women here; the archbishop, Lord, intends to favor them." Weier: "?" What in cats name? Is this really how a Noah Church bishop comports himself? Not knowing any better, one would think the bishop came here to choose a beauty. "You seem quite nice." The servant looked Weier up and down and then shook his head, "The face is pretty, height doesnt matter, but Lord Luca doesnt like flat-chested women, you wont do." Weier: "..." She clenched her fists. Youre just an underling too, arent you? Such an arrogant attitude, is this the sense of superiority people from the big city have over locals? Ulysses lowered his head and quietly asked, "Little Lady, what should we do?" A visit by a church archbishop of Lords status would have been unsettling in the past. But this time... Ulysses turned and glanced at Aina and the Dragon Horn girl, who had yet to leave the town gate. With that king-tier Red Dragon in human form present, unless the Shining City sent an archbishop of their own, it didnt matter who wanted to cause trouble, they would have to weigh the risks. Weier cast a glance at the airship and said, "Lets go." She wasnt in a hurry anyway. However, just as Weier took a step to leave, an angry curse and a dialogue between a man and a woman came from the airship. It seemed their voices were carried through some amplification device and echoed in the night sky of the entire Belgri Town. "You damn whore, how dare you bite my xx!" "Ha, haha, Lord Luca, your xx tastes really nice." "Spit it out, spit it out now!" "No way, to tell you the truth, my stomach acid is super corrosive, your little thing dissolved in my stomach in just two seconds." Chapter 376 - 268 Aina: Can we share a brother? Dragon Lady: Sure_2 Chapter 376: Chapter 268 Aina: Can we share a brother? Dragon Lady: Sure_2"Die!" Bang! The sound of metal clashing rang out. The mans voice became somewhat astonished, "Mutation Tier Four? Who exactly are you? What organization are you with, and why are you plotting against me?" Sear?h the N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Slurp The sound of a tongue licking water. The womans voice cooed, "Thank you for your hospitality, Lord Luca. As for the reason, someone offered twenty pieces of purified essence for your... Its an offer we couldnt refuse. Of course, you can go back and use the regenerative divine skill, but even with regeneration, it might not work~" "Damn it, dont leave, die! Judg" Bang! Weier saw a streak of green light seep out from the flying ship, then disappear into the distance against the night sky, finally forming a symbol with double pupils on the horizon. The door of the flying ship opened, and a corpulent man emerged, cursing in the direction of the light. "Double pupil pattern? So it was the Shadow Merchants? Damn it! You dare to cross me, youre as good as dead! Ill report this to His Holiness the Pope as soon as I get back, and eradicate all of your forces in the Shining Country!" Weier: "..." She was completely baffled now. These people sure knew how to play the game; she didnt really understand city folks. Luca held his lower body, his white bishops robe stained with blood. That part of him had indeed been bitten off. Although the power of light had stopped the bleeding and healed the wound, it didnt grant him the ability to regenerate his lost limb, and it seemed something had been implanted in him by the other party... Curse it, the Shadow Merchant must have been watching him for a long time. A Mutation Tier Four Transcendent, concealing her entire presence to make him utterly unaware of any anomaly, indicating she must possess a very precious Yuan Qi. Moreover, which bastard dared put a bounty on him? Are they not afraid of his crazy reprisals? The more Luca thought about it, the angrier he became. At that moment, he noticed his servants looking at him with strange eyes. Someone boarded the flying ship and whispered, "Lord, it seems the loudspeaker was turned on just now, and your conversation with that woman was broadcasted. The whole town might know about it..." Luca: "..." He instantly understood the malicious intent of the womans actions. Not only did she want to deprive him of his... but also to humiliate him and ruin his reputation. If this incident were to spread, whenever people saw him, even if they didnt show anything on the surface, they would definitely call him a eunuch behind his back, wouldnt they? Luca turned his head, looking towards the town. A vicious thought crept into his mind. Why not just completely destroy this town? After all, he was sent here by divine decree to help clear the Fallen Tree. It would be convenient to pin the blame on the tree. Of course, he would also have to kill all the servants who came with him. But that was simple. As a bishop, he could execute several people without needing any reason. "Where is the lord of this town?" Luca glanced around and realized that the lord was still not showing up. He grew even more hateful inside. If only the lord of this place werent so slow, he wouldnt have fallen for that womans trap so early. Ulysses took a step forward and bowed, "Respected Lord Bishop, you..." Whack! Before Ulysses could finish speaking, a gold-gleaming spear shot out and struck his face. Although the protective barrier of the Belgri Divine Tree extended instantly to protect him, he was still knocked flying by the fierce force and slammed harshly against the city wall. Weiers red pupils contracted as she cried out, "Mr. Ulysses!" "Oh? A Variant, huh?" Luca glanced at Weier and immediately recognized her identity. For a high-tier sublimated person, the difference between mutant patients and ordinary people was quite pronounced. So the lord of this place actually sent a Variant to receive him, how much did they look down on him? Luca raised his hand high and cried out to the sky with devotion, "Great Noahs Tree, I suspect that the lord of this place is colluding with the Variants, and the entire town has been corrupted by the Fallen Tree. I request that you bring down your judgment upon this place!" The heaven and earth responded immediately, the sky changing color, the dark night enveloped by a mysterious light that seemed to come from nowhere. Weier: "..." In a sense, what the bishop had said in the first part was actually not wrong. Luo Xi himself was a Mutant Patient, even calling the Red Dragon Mother. If the City of Light found out about this, a host of powerful people would surely come for him the next day... This thought made Weier increasingly anxious. Luo Xi had mentioned that he didnt want to reveal his identity as the lord just yet. But this bishop came here, without any sense of distinction, wanting to pass judgment. Even if Florecia could protect them for a while, she couldnt always be here to babysit Luo Xi, right? At the city gate. Aina tugged at the Dragon Horn girls sleeve and whispered, "Can you protect the sisters and brothers here?" "I will naturally protect my children," Florecia looked down, her tea gold vertical pupils meeting Ainas fiery gold eyes. "You hold more animosity towards me than your sister does. Why? Is it because you think I might take away your brother?" Aina pursed her lips and nodded. "Hmm..." Florecia wanted to further explain that, as a mother, she could not harm her child. But seeing Ainas aggrieved expression, a playful impulse that had lain dormant in her for eons, from a distant memory, was resurrected. "What would you do if I really took him away?" Chapter 377 - 268 Aina: Can we share the brother together? Dragon Lady: Sure_3 Chapter 377: Chapter 268 Aina: Can we share the brother together? Dragon Lady: Sure_3"Well... then Aina is going to fight you..." Aina originally wanted to throw down a couple of harsh words, but considering the strength he possessed, she softly said, "Then, when the time comes, can you share Brother with Aina and Sister? Aina and Sister were the first ones to meet Brother, and even though you are very powerful, shouldnt we honor a first come, first served principle?" This was the first time Aina had compromised with another woman, aside from Weier. Of course, if Luo Xi heard what Aina was saying, he would probably break out in a cold sweat. "Of course... thats okay." Florecia ruffled Ainas hair. Soft. It actually felt quite comfortable to touch. Aina was somewhat surprised: "Really?" "Yes." Florecia nodded. In her heart, she thought, as a mother, she wouldnt have any weird thoughts about her child. Besides, her child didnt know when he would complete his transformation. While he was still human, whether it was about getting married or having children, she wouldnt meddle too much. "Then its settled!" Golden light danced in Ainas beautiful eyes as she showed a hint of happiness. Its not that she didnt want to cling tightly to Brother Luo Xi. The main issue was that the opponent was too powerful. To reach such a verbal agreement was already beyond her expectations. "Yeah, Ill handle that thing in the sky first, its just a one-punch deal." S~ea??h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Florecia looked up, gazing at the terrifying golden radiance converging in the sky. Her golden dragon eyes turned cold, revealing a chilling murderous intent that could freeze ones heart. Thousands of years, and she finally had a three-day holiday. How could such a blind creature barge in? She walked towards the outside. Weier nodded and said to her, "Please take care of it." Luca noticed Florecias approach, a glint of surprise in his eyes. Such a beautiful Variant, with both Dragon Horn and Dragon Tail, could she be from the Dragon Species? Speaking of which, he had never played with a Dragon Species Variant before. Although this woman was a bit small in stature, her chest area was quite large, and her face was exceptionally beautiful. If only that part of him hadnt been bitten off, he reckoned he himself would have been unable to restrain just by looking at her. He could take her back, and wait until his part grew back... "Who are you?" Luca questioned her. Florecia did not respond to him, but simply raised her hand. Her crimson hair ignited in an instant, an overpowering aura rolling off her and making Luca shudder. This... what is this? Fortunately, his Divine Skill was ready. Luca smirked and stretched out his finger, releasing all the power of his Divine Skill towards the approaching woman. "Divine Skill, Light of the World!" An orb of light, devoid of warmth, plummeted rapidly from the night sky towards Florecia on the ground. Florecia spoke indifferently, "A human already filled with the scent of sin, where do you get the courage to pass judgment on me? The Eternal Divine Tree is selecting humans that are increasingly unworthy. A being like you is not worth keeping alive." She simply threw a punch. Moments later, a scorching windstorm surged, first colliding with the orb of light, amalgamating together, then sweeping towards Luca. In his astonished and fearful eyes, he was completely engulfed. In the distance, a woman hidden in the woods watched the scene, swallowing hard. "Well, this is a huge scoop, hiding such a powerful being in this little town... But now that theyve completely killed Luca, thats a big problem. I only dared to do what the mission required, which was to bite off his xx... Never mind, Ill report back. His death is none of my concern." ... After Luo Xis consciousness synced up, he noticed there was no one around. Not to mention Florecia, where were Cat Cat and Aina? [Note: The three Little Lolitas have prepared a surprise for you, trash Traveler~] Huh? What surprise? Luo Xi suddenly became curious. But referring to the three Little Lolitas... did you also include that 8000-year-old Dragon Lady? Chapter 378 - 269: The Birth of the Dragon Knight, the Trash Traveler Who Rides Dragon Mama _1 Chapter 378: Chapter 269: The Birth of the Dragon Knight, the Trash Traveler Who Rides Dragon Mama _1Luo Xi was a bit curious. What surprise had Cat Cat and Aina prepared for him? As the image shared by the Belgri Divine Tree emerged in his mind, Luo Xis expression instantly became stupefied. Inside the town, everything was as usual. Outside the town, the intense, shocking heat of Yuan Su fluctuated violently right from the town gate, extending about two kilometers outward, leaving deep scorch marks on the ground and molten lava appearing at the doorway. Dragon Mama still maintained the gesture of throwing a punch, her expression indifferent. The flames on her burning red hair were slowly dimming, and the protruding dragon scales on her delicate hands were also gradually disappearing. Luo Xi: "..." Have some reckless fool angered this Dragon Lady while he was logged out? At that moment, Luo Xi saw Ulysses, struggling down from the city walls, holding his chest and coughing up blood. His pupils slightly constricted. Was someone deliberately causing trouble? The strength to injure Ulysses, a third-tier knight-turned-sublimated person, was indeed not to be underestimated. No wonder Florecia had caused such great destruction. A pale golden teleportation circle fell from above and moved down around him. Luo Xi appeared beside Ulysses and helped him to his feet. "Ulysses, are you alright?" Ulysses, initially startled, saw it was Luo Xi, let out a sigh of relief, and said, "Lord, youre finally awake." "Brother Luo Xi!" Aina pounced from behind and hugged him tightly. Florecias figure also disappeared from where she was. A warm breeze blew in, and Luo Xi was once again buried in softness as his vision went dark. "..." Weier looked on, her irritation surging as she watched Luo Xi caught between his sister and Florecia, front and back. Dammit, leave some space for me! Are you going to let me just watch?! [Ding! Weiers Anger Value +100] About a minute later, Luo Xi was released by Florecia. His eyes still slightly dazed, he said, "So, was this the surprise?" "What kind of surprise, pervert!" Weier walked over and lightly kicked Luo Xis leg, () saying, "Did you sleep well? Was it soft? Was it comfortable?" Luo Xi subconsciously nodded, then seeing Cat Cats angry face, he immediately shook his head. [Ding! Weiers Anger Value +88] Cat Cat thus became even angrier. She turned her head to glance at Florecia, who appeared unaffected, and at the snow-white skin set off by her black dress, which seemed to still have some transparent liquid remaining. Eventually, Weier couldnt hold back and (n) said, "Arent you a mother? A mother shouldnt do such things to her child!" Sarch* The ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Florecia, unconcerned, said, "I was merely soothing my child." "Who soothes like that!" "Sister Weier, its alright, its alright." Aina, releasing Luo Xi, softly said to Weier, "She said shell share Brother with us and wont monopolize him in the future." Weier: "..." So, perhaps thats not unacceptable? Even Aina, who was so possessive, had compromised. She didnt have any better options. On the bright side, although she didnt quite believe it, maybe this Dragon Lady really did just consider herself Luo Xis mother? "Share Brother?" Luo Xi felt a chill down his spine as he overheard. [Note: The ending for a scumbag Traveler is to be chopped up with a cleaver, and each Little Lolita can get a piece, but dont give away too much~] Thats probably not what Aina meant! Luo Xi coughed and changed the subject, "So what exactly happened?" Ulysses, holding his chest, explained, "A bishop from the Church of Noah came over, wanting to help us clear out the Black Divine Tree that appeared during the day." "Wasnt it already cleared?" "Yes, but you were asleep. Then he seemed quite displeased that you didnt come out to meet him personally. He started something with a woman on the airship, got bitten there, and afterward, this young lady killed him..." Luo Xi: "???" It seemed something significant had happened. Ulysses sighed deeply, "Ah... Lord, theres big trouble now." This development was utterly unexpected. This girl, an incarnation of the Red Dragon, had been too heavy-handed. With a bishop from the Church of Noah killed so inexplicably, the people from the church would not sit idly by. Belgri Town would certainly face an overwhelming crusade of Transcendents from the church. Even if this girls true form was a high-tier King-class Red Dragon, she wouldnt be able to withstand an entire nation. "You dont need to worry about this." Florecia looked up at the night sky, her lips curving slightly, "Such a man is not worth mourning. If we really cause trouble, someone will help us." "Someone?" Luo Xi was slightly taken aback. He had heard Florecia mention this someone many times before. Was this someone also a dragon? The Dragon Horn girl turned her head, looked at Luo Xi, and with a radiant smile said, "Including today, Mommy has a three-day vacation. In this continent, wherever you want to go, its fine; mommy will take you out to play." "Hm?" "Huh?" The two sisters were immediately anxious. Luo Xi had just woken up! Was she in such a hurry to whisk Luo Xi away again? What about the promise to share? Weier quietly grasped Luo Xis hand and squeezed it firmly. Luo Xi looked towards Cat Cat. He knew what the Cat Lady meant. Luo Xi said softly, "Lets forget about going outside to play..." Just as he was about to say that, a text notification popped up. [Ding! Warning, Travelers please note, due to the entry of an unknown force, all but No.99 of The Dark Void Trees have lost their activity. All players will be temporarily transferred to the site of No.99] [The restrictions between the two worlds have been reinforced and expanded in range.] [Warning, the current No.99 area can sustain the world constraints for 6 hours. Once the constraints are lifted, The Dark Void Tree will return to its original world.] [Countdown: 5:59:55] ... Emerald Forest. Inside an inn in a certain city, Ande gazed at the simple chessboard, adjusted his single-lens glasses, and with a flicker of flame from his finger, incinerated all the pieces except for one that sat in the corner. On the table, twenty chess pieces had already been split in two and set aside. These were The Dark Void Trees that had been eradicated by the native NPCs of the Dream World today. The role of the players could be said to be almost negligible. If it were not for those NPCs being able to harness the power of the Eternal World Tree, it would not have been possible to completely erase the presence of The Dark Void Trees. These World Trees, symbols of the root and authority of the Dream World, are not to be underestimated despite their weak self-will. But he hadnt lost yet! Lord, please infuse your power into them! If these Dark Void Trees were destined to be eradicated one by one, why not concentrate those weaker ones together and pool all their strength into one? To prevent the native NPCs from the Pan Continent from collectively meddling, he even chose that tree in the Emerald Forest, with the Confused Mountain Range acting as a barrier preventing the four countries to the east from getting involved easily. And it was that guys citys tree. "I havent lost yet, world boss?" With bloodshot eyes, Ande laughed crazily, "This is the real world boss. Foolish players, enjoy yourselves." ... West of the Emerald Forest. The dark clouds that shrouded the night sky were oppressive, and like suicide bombers, monsters of utter blackness covered the ground in vast numbers, creating a sensation of scalp-tingling horror. Jiujian, covered in bloodstains, with bloodshot eyes, directed his nine swords, and the dense silver light sliced through the black monsters charging at him. As soon as the text notification sounded, he realized something was wrong. Wasnt this No.99 area right where they were? He then watched helplessly as The Black Divine Tree, bearing Xia Xupengs face, grew at an indescribable speedfive hundred meters, eight hundred meters, until finally reaching one thousand meters! Arriving from Emerald City, the leading elf who confronted this Dark Void Tree, Anas Nanni, began to have second thoughts. How had the Fallen Divine Tree suddenly reached a kilometer in size? That was already the tier of the Divine Trees of the six major Guard Cities! However, the white barrier that enveloped the area began to layer and expand. Amidst the beams of white light, even more humans appeared, entangling with those monsters. Anas was befuddled. He had already seen these humans resurrected immediately after dying several times. How was that possible? If it werent for the lack of a corrupted scent on them, he would have suspected they were beings that had been tainted. Bang! Atop a building, Ai Xue lay by the window, firing the Life-Sealing Golden Gun at The Divine Tree and taking down one of its tendrils. This was her first time to another place in the Dream World outside the City of Silence. Although shed return after the boss disappeared, she was quite satisfied, provided the boss could be taken down. Otherwise, if it were to return to reality... Haicheng would be destroyed, right? "Senior... what should I do?" Ai Xue looked at The Divine Tree that had transformed into a kilometer size, stroking the guns trigger and murmuring to herself. ... After reading the text, Luo Xis consciousness exited the Dream World, and he picked up his phone to make some inquiries. Luo Xis expression darkened. Damn, the one that was left is indeed from Haicheng. Within six hours, a solution must be found, or the reality on this side will be doomed. He re-synced his consciousness to the Dream World. Before he could explain the situation, Florecia suddenly lifted her head, her crimson-gold pupils looking west towards the Confused Mountain Range, "A powerful aura of corruption has appeared on the other side of the mountains." Luo Xi hesitated and then said, "Florecia my dear, could you help me? The aura you mentioned might involve the city from my world, the place where I live." Florecia was taken aback, "The city from your world? Can you freely travel between your world and here?" Luo Xi nodded gravely. The Dragon Horn girl blinked, "Then, can mama go there too?" Luo Xi: "Probably... yes?" Aina: "!" Weier: "!" "Then mama will wait here." Florecia turned around, patting her back and smiling, "Mama will take you to have a look there first. But the upper limit of that aura has already exceeded mamas capabilities, so probably the lords will have to intervene." Luo Xi looked at the slender waist of the Dragon Lady, his eyelids twitching, "Why not just turn into a dragon?" "I can do it in human form too, it makes me feel closer to you," Florecia said in confusion, "Isnt the first time mama carried you to fly in human form? Are you getting on or not? Oh right, I forgot about the Hollow Flower, it could save some effort." Luo Xi: "..." "Im getting on," he said. And so, under the murderous gazes of Cat Cat and Aina, Luo Xi lay on the back of the Dragon Lady. [Note: Rejoice, for this is the birth of a Dragon Rider!~ (This is the scumbag Traveler riding on Dragon Mama ---- ---- Last month, the monthly passes went from 1200 to 2500, with an additional 13 Chapters. This month will see added Chapters on top of the daily 6k, but youll probably have to wait until after Ive visited the grave, and I might take that day off. Chapter 379 - 270: The unidentified man riding on Lolita ~_1 Chapter 379: Chapter 270: The unidentified man riding on Lolita ~_1The petite Dragon Horn girl, carrying a man about 1.8 meters tall, stepped lightly, entering the Hollow Flower. Weier and Aina watched the serrated petals of the Hollow Flower close tightly, choosing not to follow them in. Cat Cat sighed with a touch of melancholy, "Aina, are we holding him back?" The Little Wolf Girl nodded, "Yeah, but Aina wont let go, Sister, are you going to give up and become a loser. oh, I mean a losing cat?" Weier: "What?" What the heck is a losing cat? What has Aina learned from Luo Xi? Seeing Weiers clueless face, Aina covered her mouth and laughed, "For example, Sister, in three years you could only watch Aina and Brother get married, while you secretly wipe away your tears in a corner, thats what you call a loser. ah, a losing cat~" This was a little knowledge that Ai Xue had shared with Aina yesterday. In that world, women who fail in the competition of love are called losers. Weiers breath hitched, and she grabbed the partially bald tail behind Aina, () saying, "How dare you mock your sister, you silly little sister, I might as well not have you, watch me pluck out all the remaining hairs on your tail!" "Ah! Weier Sister, youre just jealous of Aina!" "Whos jealous, jealous that guy keeps touching your tail every day without anything better to do?" "Sister, you said it out loud!" "Annoying! I have a tail too!" ... On the other side, once Luo Xi emerged from the other side of the Hollow Flower, he immediately activated the Dreamland Synchronization module. Of course, he did so to better handle any unexpected situations, not to feel the softness of the Dragon Ladys body. [Note: Yeah right, who would believe that!~] Fine, dont believe it then. "Hold tight." Florecia whispered, spreading her flame-tinged Dragon Wings, soaring into the sky, and then she accelerated sharply towards the distance. Once her speed reached a certain level, her figure began to flicker in and out of view. Each flicker covered a distance of about ten kilometers. Even in human form, the Dragon Lady carried Luo Xi steadily, progressing continuously through the night. The fierce night wind blew, and Luo Xi could only hold tightly to the girls shoulders, burying his head in her hair, inhaling the constantly wafting fragrance and feeling the warm body temperature. The tight contact made Luo Xis mind grow a bit muddled. [Ding! Your Lust Value +30] Luo Xi: "!" Fxxk, I almost forgot that the air in the Emerald Forest has an effect similar to that of a spring aphrodisiac. [Note: Stop explaining, traveler, you have already become a devoted son with feelings for Dragon Mama, and even if you did something outrageous, the understanding Dragon Mama might just help you out~] Climb! "Little Luo Xi, whats wrong?" Feeling Luo Xis inner turmoil, Florecia slowed down a bit and turned her head slightly to ask. "Nothing much, wait a second, what the heck is Little Luo Xi?" "Because youre Mamas child, its a nickname given to you with love." "Isnt that nickname a bit too... My toes are about to dig out a three-room apartment!" "Dont like it?" The Dragon Horn girls mood fell instantly. The pace slowed down considerably more. Luo Xi: "..." Somehow, seeing the downcast expression of the Dragon Lady, he felt a pang in his heart. "Okay... I guess?" "Hehe~ Little Luo Xi is the best, Mama loves you the most!" With a tone brimming with love as if confessing, Florecia increased her speed significantly. Luo Xi couldnt help but laugh and cry. To be honest, aside from forcing him to call her Mama, this Dragon Lady felt to him like an innocent young girl. Luo Xi gathered the Yuan Su within his body, suppressing the surge of heat. No matter what, Florecia now truly saw him as her child, and he couldnt very well do something twisted like what the Damn Text suggested about a son grateful to Mama. However, wasnt this Dragon Lady aware that her actions could easily lead to misunderstandings? [Note: Of course, only trash travelers with brains filled with vile garbage would misunderstand~] Damn text, thats enough! (p)! About five minutes later, the Dragon Lady suddenly said, "Little Luo Xi, its time, hold on tight; Mama is going down now!" Before Luo Xi could react, a sudden sensation of weightlessness arose; guided by Florecia, they plunged towards the ground at high speed. The square white domain enveloping the ground was instantly breached by the two of them. ... Boom, boom, boom! Rumbles and roars echoed continuously within the domain. Apart from the players who had already exhausted their three resurrection opportunities, all players who had participated in this mission transferred over. There were fewer than ten thousand in total. A few players high up on the Contribution List were still hunting monsters that ran out from the Black Divine Tree, grinding for points. Soul Wina, White Dragon Gore, Child of Nature Hora, Ice Lady Mo Yu... These were high-level players in "Dawn", mostly possessing life-saving abilities. Naturally, they were taking full advantage of this event connected to reality with its abundant rewards, racking up as many points as possible. Apart from them, many other players were also trying their best to slay enemies. They came from all over the Pan Continent, hence the variety in their characters clothing and the equipment they used was significant. For example, Nine Swords wielded cold steel weapons, landing him in the nineteenth spot on the Contribution List, although he was now on his last life. Some set up hundred-kilogram Gatling siege cannons. Powered by Essence Crystals, these cannons unleashed more than three hundred metal kinetic rounds per second, like shooting flames from the crimson barrels, racing each other to transform into a dragon of fire and bursting forth, carving a path through the tides of monsters! This was, like Ai Xues firearms, a creation from Tiangong Country. It wasnt that this world lacked firearms and other such heat weapons. It was just that aside from the mysterious Tiangong Country, many nations lacked the tradition of forging such weapons and did not have sufficient technological reserves. Bang! Ai Xue fired another shot, the golden bullet piercing through a row of monsters, earning her two hundred points. It was time to change locations. She heard monsters gnawing at the foundation of her building below. However, after she walked a few steps, a sense of palpitations surged from deep within her heart. Something was coming! Ai Xue returned next to the window and looked over in that direction. On the Black Divine Tree that had grown to a kilometer, the human face was so distorted it was no longer recognizable; a pitch-black sphere was condensing in the mouth of the face. Following that, the voice of the elf powerhouse spread across the battlefield. "Thats a sixth-order skill, if its released, everyone will die!" Anas vibrated two pairs of transparent thin wings in the sky, holding a vine longbow flickering with purple light, shooting off the tentacles that constantly pierced out, his expression extremely grim. Damn it, he had been told by the royal city that this was something he could handle as a newly advanced fifth-order Transcendent? They must be kidding! They wanted to get rid of him, right? He didnt know that apart from this Black Divine Tree, all the black trees across the Pan Continent had disappeared, their power focusing here. Mere minutes had passed since the Dark Void Trees sudden growth, and reinforcements from the Emerald Royal City were still on their way. Players had already been dying one after another, opting not to resurrect anymore. Determination appeared on Ai Xues face. She wanted to keep up with her seniors pace, not wanting to just scuttle away in defeat. She had to at least fire a few more shots. Ai Xue readied her gun, aiming at the black sphere. The black firearm seemed to flicker faintly with light as she breathed. [Ding! Your Life-Sealing Golden Gun has unlocked a special skill: Thousand-mile Radiance.] [Description: In the face of pure darkness, if the user has firm conviction, this skill will automatically unlock. Usage requirements: strength greater than 400 points. All energy of the firearm will be concentrated into one bullet, inflicting base damage x999% to everything in sight. After the skill is used, the gun will automatically enter a 15-day cooldown period.] In that moment, Ai Xues pupils revealed a faint purple glow. As the trigger was pulled, a dark golden bullet shot out from the gun, a dazzling golden light released upon the bullet like a tiny golden sun, heading towards the black sphere in the mouth of the human face. It vaporized many tentacles and black monsters along the way but was then blocked by a suddenly rising barrier of greyish-black. How could a sixth-tier Dark Void Tree possibly be harmed by an epic-tier firearm? [Ding! Youve earned 3040 Contribution Points.] Ai Xues arm broke under the recoil of the golden gun. If it werent nighttime now, even if this skill were unlocked, she couldnt use it. "Oww..." She laughed foolishly, looking at her own name coming in at the 100th-to-last on the Contribution List. With this, she should receive a pretty good reward, right? Moments later, terrifying fluctuations stirred on that black sphere, releasing a strong suction force that drew in all surrounding matter, including buildings, land, and everything visible to the naked eye. [Ding! You have been locked on by a sixth-order skill: Abyss Black Hole.] [Warning! After the Abyss Black Hole is activated, it will devour all matter in the area within ten minutes, leaving no place for Travelers to resurrect.] Ai Xue looked at the damn texts warning, somewhat helplessly lying on the floor, already feeling a strong suction force pulling at her. Waiting to die, jpg. She didnt understand why her senior still hadnt arrived... Boom! Suddenly, the suction force faltered. sea??h th N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Ai Xue: "?" She got up, puzzled, looking into the distance and then rubbing her eyes. What was that? A silhouette had somehow appeared near the Black Divine Tree, the fiery Yuan Su energy contending with the Abyss Black Hole, temporarily halting its suction. No, not one. It seemed there was someone on that persons back. That silhouette seemed somewhat familiar... Ai Xue: (_)? Wasnt that her senior?! It wasnt just Ai Xue who saw it. All the surviving players saw the two individuals at the Black Divine Tree suppressing the Abyss Black Hole. Inside the inn, Andes eyes turned fierce in an instant. Its you again, the ghosts that wont go away, running all this way to oppose me even from so far away?! Then go to hell! Even if it had just entered the sixth tier, that Dark Void Tree was still sixth tier! What about high-tier monarchs? Many players took advantage of this moment to hunt the surrounding monsters, some even approached the Dark Void Tree, trying to get a clear view of the two unexpected reinforcements. "Does that person look like a girl? A Lolita?" "Is that girl carrying someone on her back?" "Why do I feel like that person is riding that girl..." Chapter 380 - 271 Dragon Mama’s love is going bad! _1 Chapter 380: Chapter 271 Dragon Mamas love is going bad! _1Luo Xi held one of Florecias dragon horns with one hand and slowly rose from a squat on her petite back, barely looking ahead at the profound black hole that seemed capable of sucking in a persons soul. The slender and delicate fists of Dragon Mama had smashed into the trunk of the Black Divine Tree, causing the black hole to sink in with it, and the scorching Yuan Su from her fists and the profound black hole had reached a strange balance, with both parties at a stalemate. Her usually invincible Dragon Kings crushing punch had for the first time encountered something it couldnt break through. Florecias voice rose heavily, "This thing is much stronger than the last tree, Little Luo Xi, Mama has already notified the Lord, and they should be here before long. You should go down first, its too dangerous here." "Lord?" "Yes, this kind of thing is a threat to the whole world, those Lords wont just stand by, and I dont know what the elves of Emerald City are doing. Arent they going to deal with such things appearing on land?" Florecia said somewhat dissatisfied. Luo Xi lowered his head and looked at the dragon-horned girl who couldnt move, still maintaining her punching stance, with the crimson Yuan Su forming a barrier around his body. Clearly, Florecia was not only fighting against the black hole but also maintaining her strength to protect him. [Note: Hehe, Dragon Mama cant move, this is your chance to sneak a squeeze (*`)~] Nows not the time to be crazy! Luo Xi realized he was just a burden. He slowly got up, intending to jump down. Then Dragon Lady said, "Wait, its watching you. If you leave my protection, it will kill you immediately. Forget it, just stay on Mamas back for now, its safer here." Luo Xi: "..." So is it dangerous or safe? Your statements are completely contradictory! Luo Xi saw several drifting tendrils had approached them. He obediently squatted down again. To tell the truth, standing on Florecias back felt quite comfortable. It was just a shame that her beautiful black dress was being stepped on like this... [Note: You damn Traveler, do you want to tread on Dragon Mamas undressed, fair and delicate back with your dirty feet?] Get lost! Luo Xi dismissed the text box to the side. He felt something was slightly off. Florecia had managed to arrive here in less than ten minutes. So why couldnt those Lords she mentioned come even faster? High above, at ten thousand meters in the night sky. Two gigantic beings, like mountain ranges, floated silently together, their similar golden vertical pupils looking downward. The Black Dragon Bahamut and the Red Dragon Alexilita had arrived here minutes ago. Alexilita snorted and said, "Arent you going to make a move? That thing is still accumulating all its forces of corruption and growing. Once it truly reaches the sixth-order, Little Fu will be in danger." "No rush," Bahamut replied. "Dont you think she and the child on her back are interesting? I found her quite amusing back in the daya little dragon transformed from a human whod been corrupted by low-tier dragon blood. Starting from Tier Three, shes grown step by step to what she is now, and I find that quite moving." Alexilita widened her dragon eyes, "Is that your reason for coloring my lineage with your hue?" The Black Dragon laughed it off, "She was about to fail her ascension at one point, and I couldnt just watch, so I gave a little help. Lets not talk about that. The place in the Emerald Forest is actually allocated to Isla, and I dont believe shed just sit tight. By the way, where is she?" "Who knows. She might be sleeping in the world of Grey Dream." "Well, lets wait a bit longer. If it doesnt work out, Lita, you go down and help." "Hmm? Why me? Isnt she your subordinate?" "I want to completely destroy that thing, and then that area is going to be gone. Plus, isnt she from your lineage?" "So youre giving her back to me?" "Dream on!" Kobayashi Wild crouched excitedly on the roof of a building. He had thought he was about to die just moments ago. Although he was trapped in Belgri Town by the dog Lord, this Dark Void Tree event allowed players to ignore regional restrictions and bring out their player characters by finding the corresponding overlapping domains in reality. He had finally made it out! From now on, he was going to be a brave hero, saving this sinking world. Sear?h the ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Even though he would be sent back after the event is over... Fxxk, cant they just not send him back?! Kobayashi Wilds rising ambitions quickly deflated again. Damn dog Lord! Dont let me find out who you are! He simply decided to start a live Projection broadcast again. At least he could earn some gift money. On the reality side, he had already set up everything for the live stream, and now that he was in a Dreamland sync state, activating his talents would allow him to upload the recorded content to the forum. After the second test, the number of players had already reached a million, and coupled with some who were not players but knew about "Dawn," plus his unique ability to bring first-hand live broadcasts. With each broadcast, the incoming gifts were more than enough to fill his coffers. Kobayashi Wild looked over at the Black Divine Tree. There were two people over there who seemed to be holding off the terrifying [Abyssal Black Hole]. Their postures looked somewhat strange. One was almost horizontal, and the one above seemed to be standing on her back. But wasnt that fellow down there somewhat familiar looking? Kobayashi Wild squinted over. Damn it! Hed never forget that persons face in a lifetime! Wasnt that the perverted scum who was caught playing with a Lolita Beast Eared Girl in Belgri Town last time? It was because of him that I was cursed and put a bounty by other players. On the international hunters forum. The live broadcast room in Kobayashi Wild was filled to capacity as soon as it opened. After all, this was the only such broadcast in the world. [Heart of the Deep: Brothers, Ive died and come back. Whos number one on the Contribution List now?] [Masked Rider No.2: It seems to be Soul Wina?] [Argo: Just wondering, who are those two? Natives of the Dream world?] [Bear King: Im back from the dead too... I had just gotten a few steps closer when a tentacle instantly killed me. Those two are probably native NPCs. Players arent that powerful yet, not even a Tier Four Transcendent.] [Hurricane: The Elven powerhouse who provided support at the start was just too weak, did nothing after all that effort. Did he just bail the moment The Dark Void Tree released the Abyssal Black Hole?] [Bear King: Definitely weak, nowhere close to the Red Dragon we saw this afternoon that easily dismantled a tree.] [White Dragon: Dead and back +1. And havent you guys noticed that one of those two, the one on top, is the very Black Death God from Xia country?] [Bear King: ???] [sensei: ???] A bunch of question marks appeared in the live broadcast room all at once. [Argo: Holy shit! I took a screenshot and looked closely, it really seems to be... Black Death God is awesome, truly a big shot from our Xia country!] [Sakura of my homeland: So youre from Xia country too, no wonder you have such deep malice towards Travelers from our Japanese country!] [Argo: If you dont agree then come fight!] [Heart of the Deep: Looking at the screen, the girl that the Black Death God is riding seems to have a pair of Dragon Wings and a small frame...] [Argo: So what if the big shot likes riding Little Lolitas into battle?] [Heart of the Deep: It seems that the girl might be the main force fighting the boss... But no matter, its probably the big shot~] [Bear King: Didnt the Black Death God also appear in Belgri Town? Is it possible that the girl is the Red Dragon we saw during the day?] [Hurricane: ? Impossible, absolutely impossible! Thats a king-tier dragon from the Dream world! How could it willingly let someone ride it? As a knight who has transcended, I find it hard enough to get an Origin Beast as a mount.] [Argo: Fxxk, feels like it could be true. Non-human, Lolita, Dragon Lady, mount, this really hits my xp, envious of the big shot!] [sensei: Youre not right in the head] ... Luo Xi naturally didnt know that a series of discussions about him had already started on the other side of reality. Of course, even if he did know, there was nothing he could do about it. He was already in a situation where he not only couldnt get off a tiger but a dragon either. He distinctly saw Dragon Mamas tender neck turning red, the scales on her hands constantly cycling between destruction and rebirth. Luo Xi asked softly, "Cant you transform into a dragon?" He felt that the hundred-meter dragon body might make it easier. Florecia shook her head slightly and said, "My strength is in a stalemate with it; I cant change back for now. Plus, even if I did, it would be useless. Its life essence is now a higher state than mine." "Oh..." Luo Xi glanced at the players in the distance. The closest one was still at least a couple of kilometers away. Their vision cant be that good, right? If they saw him riding a Little Lolita, another legend would be added to his story. Shouldnt have listened to this Dragon Ladys suggestion to have her carry him in her human form... Luo Xi took a deep breath, feeling that he needed to do something. But the Damn Text remained unmovable as a mountain, so it seemed there was no immediate danger. [Note: I never said so~ Trash Traveler, the big one is coming. But rather than that, have you considered which planet to go to after social death?] Luo Xi was slightly startled. Hm? What social death? A bad premonition suddenly arose in Luo Xis heart. In an instant, a contorted human face appeared above the Black Divine Tree, opened its mouth, and began to silently chant, shattering his crimson barrier in an instant. [Ding! You were hit by a Tier Five Skill: [Death Dirge]] [Ding! You have died.] As Florecia felt the life force of Luo Xi on her back fading, her thoughts became blank and the Yuan Su in her became chaotic. "No!" She wanted to forcefully withdraw her hand from the stalemate, even if it meant that she might be sucked into the rebooted black hole immediately. But Luo Xis voice rang out again. "Dont worry, Im fine, um... I still have two opportunities to resurrect today, no big deal." The Dragon Horn girl trembled lightly. "Alright, as long as youre fine, thats good... thats good..." Luo Xi heard a hint of sobbing in the Dragon Ladys voice. [Ding! Florecias affection for you +55] [Ding! Florecias feelings towards you have sublimated from (wanting to care for) to (treasuring greatly)] [Description: Dragon Mamas affection has transformed!] Luo Xi: "???" The emotional values related to Florecia had never appeared before. Well, the first time it did, it came as a big one. Chapter 381 - 272 Appearance of the Female Ghost Text, Do you want to eat my ice cream?_1 Chapter 381: Chapter 272 Appearance of the Female Ghost Text, Do you want to eat my ice cream?_1Above the high sky of ten thousand meters, the Black Dragon and the Red Dragon were still chatting. The Red Dragon suddenly asked, "Have you always been paying attention to her?" "Of course... not." "Then why do you value her so much?" "Do I?" "Dont you? I dont think a Red Dragon who has failed to ascend would catch your attention. To some extent, it was you who escorted her to her current realm." "Well, youre not wrong about that~" "So?" Bahamut let out a low growl and said, "I like it, Im willing, what about it?" Alexilita: "..." She, who had worked with this shameless Black Dragon for countless years, understood in an instant that he was deliberately hiding something but not saying it. Alexilita hummed lightly, "Suit yourself, Im going down. If I dont deal with it now and it really grows up, causing a chain reaction with the things in the sea, the entire continent might fall." Bahamut pondered and said, "Actually, it seems that not dealing with it wouldnt matter, as its anchor point doesnt seem to be on our side, or rather the anchor points of the Fallen Trees that suddenly appeared today are not on our side." The Red Dragon suddenly looked up, "Oh? Could it be from the world where those Otherworld Travelers are from?" "Exactly." Bahamut mused, "The Great Will has apparently made some kind of deal with that world for self-rescue, but I dont know what He traded away." Alexilita said, "Anyway, being so poor, there isnt much to trade. The will of that world is really bold, havent they considered the possibility that the foreign deity might devour Them along with everything else?" Bahamut said, "For us, its a good thing, at least were no longer fighting alone." "Hmm, thats true." After leaving those words behind, Alexilitas massive figure dived towards the ground, her thousands of meters of body gradually shrinking until she was about five hundred meters in size. Just as she tried to break directly into the area of the Fallen Tree and burn it with the flames of the Root, something unexpected happened. "Huh?" ... Luo Xi looked at the display on the text, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly. Whats with these affection values! Is it a mothers love for her child? What about the increase or decrease in favorability? Skipped over just like that? Dont tell me this Dragon Ladys favorability for me started at full from the beginning? [Note: Yes, thats right~ When Dragon Mama saw you, the pitiful traveler, that motherly compassion already pushed her favorability to the max!] So once favorability maxes out, it just waits to transform, right? Luo Xi shook his head helplessly. This Dragon Lady was completely blank when it came to feelings, after all, her time as a human was eight thousand years ago. So does she want to raise a child? Or is she looking for a companion to keep her company in the years to come? For the former, Luo Xi could go along with her act, for the latter... Luo Xi could also barely manage... Calm down! Even if she can change into human form, her essence is no longer human. Becoming a Dragon Knight or something was just Damn Texts sarcasmhe really wouldnt go riding dragons! With Cat Cat and Cute Wolf at home, and the real Ai Xue... Luo Xi already felt that he was scummy enough; if he added a few more, he feared that he wouldnt be intact enough to face the day of the cleavers. Seeing that Luo Xi was safe and sound, Florecia relaxed, "Its good that youre fine, Little Luoxi. Hold on to mama tightly; mama wont let any spell hurt you from now on." Luo Xi noticed that the red barrier around him had thickened somewhat. However, the Dragon Ladys hand that reached into the deep black hole became unstable. While fighting against The Dark Void Tree and also looking out for Luo Xi on her back, it made her already suppressed tier even more difficult. Luo Xis mood became anxious. Why hasnt that Lord arrived yet? Are all the powerhouses of this world so slack? Is there any way? Damn Text? Would the method that had me feed myself to the enemy last time work? [Note: Dream on, this time there is the intervention of that existence, who would take the bait and swallow you up, a suspicious thing like that~] Luo Xi fell silent. [Note: However, if its just this Sixth-order SkillAbyss Black Hole, maybe you, the garbage traveler, could try to dispel it? Want to give it a shot?] Other methods? What are they? [Note: Want to try them? But to give you the complete thing, Id have to do it personally, such a hassle~ Dont be surprised, garbage traveler.] Suddenly, Luo Xi found that the surrounding world had fallen into stasis, including the Dragon Lady under his feet, the floating tentacles around, and the players in the distance. Everything seemed to turn gray and motionless. Besides the gray world, it seemed to him that he could see the light of stars, casting their glow from the distant sky. Tip-tap, tip-tap. Light footsteps sounded. Luo Xi looked up and saw a petite figure bathed in starlight approaching. He couldnt see her real face; a glance revealed only brilliant dazzling light. She stepped through the air and came beside Luo Xi. Starlight condensed behind her into a chair, onto which she lightly leapt and crossed one leg over the other, casually swinging it. [Ding! Your Shock Value +200] Luo Xi wanted to speak but found himself seemingly deprived of the ability to speak. He could only blink repeatedly to express his shock. "Perverted Loli-con Traveler." The petite figure patted herself and then handed over a book shimmering with rainbow light, saying, "This is an image I specifically changed to your liking. Although you cant see the specifics of my appearance, it should suit your aesthetic taste, right?" "Take it, this is the full OriginVoid, if you can use it even slightly and disperse this spell, then easy peasy, but I dont know if youll be able to use it~" She placed the book on Luo Xis chest and gave a gentle push, and the book was stuffed inside. The page of [OriginVoid] Fragment that existed in Luo Xis dreamworld baggage instantly disappeared, fusing with it. At the same time, the text experienced fluctuations and finally displayed the following characters. [OriginVoid] [Quality: Rainbow (Mythical)] [Category: Object of Authority Symbolization] [Attribute: ???] [Description: ???] [Warm Tip: This is the complete [OriginVoid], symbolizing the power of space, an object that common people cant use.] "Ive delivered the item. So, see you next time. Of course, to prevent garbage Traveler like you from having inappropriate fantasies about me, you wont remember me until we meet again~" Luo Xis lips parted slightly. He tried his best to see the details of this figure. The figure wrapped in starlight shook its leg, pressed a hand to its face, and said teasingly, "Do you really want to eat my ice cream?" "Well, here you go. Consider it a reward for you, trash fish garbage Traveler, for not quitting no matter what all this time~" A leg that was too radiant to make out the details extended in front of Luo Xi, deliberately cocked. Luo Xi: "..." Im sure of it now. This is definitely Damn Text. Didnt expect you to really be a Female Ghost! Curse that Female Ghost Text, one day I will drag you out and teach you a severe lesson... Luo Xi looked at the glowing leg, steeled his heart, and bit down on it. "You actually bit it! Youre truly a pervert!" sea??h th N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ... Luo Xi looked around dumbfoundedly. What happened? He felt like something tremendous had occurred, but he couldnt recall what it was no matter how hard he tried. Strange... Could this be dj vu? [Note: You hentai! (), Its all covered in saliva now, gross!] Luo Xi: "?" What a mess. Well, never mind. The Damn Text is always crazy. [Ding! Youve triggered a freelance quest: Save the Black Abyss Flame Dragon] [Quest Synopsis: Traveler, your Dragon Mama is in a very dangerous situation. In the absence of the Big-shots taking action, you are now the only one who might save her. The item to save her has been placed in your hands. Do you have the ability to use it?] [Reward: None] [Description: With a soul that does not change as the years pass, just what can you achieve?] An item? Luo Xi was startled. He didnt know he had any items? Luo Xis gaze scanned over the text. [OriginVoid] Hmm? Isnt this that Fragment? Wait a minute... The suffix Fragment is gone, and the attributes have all turned into question marks. Is this the complete version? Could this be something Damn Text gave me? [Note: Hmph~ (Annoyed)] Well done. Luo Xi rarely praised Damn Text. But how to use it? [OriginMoonflow] would passively activate upon his death. What about [OriginVoid]? Luo Xi tried to take it out. [Unable to Retrieve] Luo Xi furrowed his brow. There must be a way to use it no matter what. He fixed his eyes on Florecias hand touching the black hole below. A thought struck Luo Xi, and he reached forward, touching the Dragon Ladys hand. Florecia panicked, "Little Luo Xi, what are you doing?!" "Just trying." Luo Xi laughed lightly and continued to reach forward, inserting his hand into the deep black hole. "Pull it out quickly!" "No." Luo Xi felt a wave of intense pain. Lacking the Yuan Su to resist the devouring force, his body disappeared the moment he placed his hand inside, dissolving into part of the skill, and his body even got pulled halfway through. However, as Luo Xis body was consumed, a rainbow-colored radiance was released, forming strands of light thread that penetrated into the depths of the black hole. In an instant, the Sixth-order skill designed to devour everything vanished without a trace, and the remaining half of Luo Xis body fell towards the ground below. Florecia finally freed herself from the stalemate. Her form rapidly enlarged, and a hundred-meter Red Dragon appeared atop The Dark Void Tree. Fuelled with intense anger, she spewed blue flames. ... /// "You really surprise me, are you even human from that world?" "Ugh, all dirty. That guy really dared to bite..." Chapter 382 - 273 The Traveler riding the Little Red Dragon Lolita becomes famous overseas again_1 Chapter 382: Chapter 273 The Traveler riding the Little Red Dragon Lolita becomes famous overseas again_1What exactly Luo Xi did over there, the players watching the live broadcast through the projection of Kobayashi Wild could not see clearly. However, they did see the girl under Luo Xis foot turn into a hundred-meter-long Red Dragon in an instant. Was that girl really a dragon? Is this scientific? Is this reasonable? Oh, this is the Dream world, then its fine. [Bear King: I didnt expect it to be the Red Dragon that appeared in the livestream this morning! Strange, do Origin Beasts also have affinity toward humans? How does such a powerful dragon tolerate humans riding it?] [Heart of the Deep Sea: I heard that the temperaments of the Dragon Origin Beasts are extremely volatile. I once encountered a Green Dragon in the wild, and just one glance was all it took for a person to disappear.] [Bermula: Isnt the point that Origin Beasts can transform into human forms? This is truly a monster girl, to the delight of those players with weird xp.] [Heart of the Deep Sea: From now on, please refer to that Black Death God as the Dragon Knight of the Black Death Godthats a Dragon of royal tier, and its very likely high-tier! Riding it, in the Dream world, as long as you dont run into world bosses like this time, isnt that invincible?] [Kamen Rider No.1: Every time I hear information about this big shot, I feel like Im going to blackout...] [sensei: Why do I feel like hes not playing the same game as us?] [Argo: Do you still consider this a game? If we dont deal with The Dark Void Tree in the Dream world, well be the unlucky ones, lets cheer for the Black Death God and his Red Dragon mount!] [Sakura of Hometown: Isnt the little girl transformed from an Origin Beast still a little girl? Why does this person only go after Lolita beast girls, isnt Xia country going to do something about this perversion?] [Argo: Shut up, dog barking upstairs, who knows how old that Red Dragon actually is, if you can also trick one back, nobody would say a thing no matter what age she looks like.] [Heart of the Deep Sea: I want her to become an 11-year-old (*`)~] [Argo: Rejecting juvenile aesthetics starts with you, Ill take 14 years old!] [Bear King: Are there any police here? Are these all perverts? Take them away and shoot them all!] [Argo: Cut it out, whos still afraid of the police uncle... Damn, that Red Dragon looks like it cant hold on, its in trouble, are there any big shots in the Dream world? Lets go up and help!] When they saw half of Luo Xis body falling like a disconnected kite, Florecias rage swelled uncontrollably like a tide, and her deep blue flames engulfed The Dark Void Tree in an instant. Even though The Dark Void Tree was of a higher tier than her, the spreading blue flames caused the distorted face on the trunk to emit a piercing cry of pain, and a large portion of the trees body began to melt. The Root Flame, this type of flame obtained from the Red Dragon Emperor of the Red Dragon Species, could even burn clean this decayed object that was sticky like tar. Florecia even had a small complaint: why didnt Alexilita teach her this flame earlier? If she could have had it earlier, she would have been able to completely kill those things trying to come ashore from the sea, without being disgusted by those dead and resurrected things for thousands of years. Just as Florecia prepared to burn the tree down in one fell swoop, she felt her strength weaken all of a sudden, and a sense of stagnation coming from deep within her soul made her momentarily daze, causing her flames to stop as well. Then, taking the opportunity, The Dark Void Tree lunged with its countless tentacles towards the Red Dragon. Florecia couldnt dodge in time, nor did she have enough time to mount a defense, so the dense tentacles pierced through, penetrating her tough dragon scales and drawing out scalding dragon blood. At that moment, a resigned sigh sounded in Florecias ear. "Sigh, I told you not to misuse it, the Root Flame requires using the soul as a medium. Its fine to use it against weaker beings like you, but when you use it against beings of a higher tier than you, even if you can burn them, you might end up sacrificing yourself too." "Let me take it from here." To the horror of all players, from the dome covered by the white canopy, a gigantic Red Dragon, large enough to cause megalophobia, descended. The crimson Red Dragon placed a claw on The Dark Void Trees trunk. A scorching air current rose, twisting The Dark Void Trees tentacles into distortion, followed by a blue flame deeper than the one spit out by Florecia, bursting out violently from the Red Dragons claw. Everyone seemed to witness the birth of a blue sun. [Ding! The current DLC event[Overlap of Dreams and Reality] has been completed, thank you to all the Travelers for their efforts] [Ding! The overlapping region between the two worlds will be lifted in thirty minutes. After the dissolution, all Travelers will be returned to their original locations via the original route, and rewards will be calculated based on the Travelers contribution after the event is over.] [Bear King: Seems like Ive seen something incredible again...] [Argo: Holy shit, it got one-shotted! That was a kilometer-class Black Divine Tree, I remember countries like Dawn and Shining only have six Guard Cities of this level, right?] [Heart of the Deep Sea: I knew this event wasnt meant for us players, is this escalating from targeting the lesser to the greater? Who exactly is the boss here? And isnt that Red Dragon too big?] [Hurricane: A Sixth-order Dragon species?] Sear?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [sensei: Hehe, a hundred-meter-long Red Dragon can turn into a cute Little Lolita, so can a bigger dragon turn into a big-breasted sister?] [Kamen Rider No.1: Tricky angle, but I guess its possible, maybe those high-tier Origin Beasts all have the ability to transform into humans.] [sensei: I want to be loved by a Dragon Lady sister~] [Argo: Stop raving, that giant dragon is gone, who among you can go check out the battlefield? The big shot seemed to have fallen earlier.] [White Dragon: Were all weak dogs whove used up our three resurrections, talking to us is pointless.] [Argo: There must still be someone who hasnt been resurrected, can someone tie up the guy whos live streaming and take him over there? I want to see the Black Lord and their Dragon Lady Lolita!] [Child of Nature: I still have one resurrection opportunity, Ill go have a look, it seems to be quite near to where I died before.] ... Kobayashi Wild gasped in shock. It was terrifying. The giant Red Dragon had already flown away after one-shotting the Black Divine Tree, but the aura it left behind still made all players shudder. Is that kind of strength really attainable by humanity? He still wants to save the world... Isnt that idea a bit unrealistic? A somewhat androgynous voice sounded from behind him. "Are you the one whos streaming live?" Kobayashi Wild: "?" Turning around, he saw a person with green hair, who was neither clearly male nor female, standing against the wind, their trench coat fluttering noisily. Instinctively he said, "Where did this sissy come from?" Horas face darkened as he said, "Who are you calling a sissy? I am Hora Krog, are you or arent you the one live streaming?" Kobayashi Wild replied fearlessly, "Yeah, so what?" It doesnt matter who you are. In any case, he would return to Belgri Town in half an hour. If youve got the guts, come and beat me! The corners of Horas mouth subtly lifted, "Then you have picked up a life." Dozens of vines shot out from the ground, binding Kobayashi Wild tightly, leaving only his head facing forward. Kobayashi Wild: "What are you doing! Ouch, it hurts!" Hora chuckled sinisterly, "Everyone is waiting for your first-hand live report; such an incompetent war correspondent you are, wasting your talent." "And another thing, I rank fifth on the contribution points leaderboard, youve already caught my attention, just wait." Kobayashi Wild struggled for a while, finding himself unable to break free and thus gave up on moving. He asked in confusion, "Child of Nature Hora, werent you ranked sixth?" "Hmm?" Hora paused, bewildered. Impossible, he had checked before leaving, his points ranked him fifth, more than four thousand points above the person in sixth place. How could someone catch up so quickly in this short period? Hora opened the contribution points leaderboard for the current event and immediately spotted his own name. [[Child of Nature] Hora23550] [[Mechanic] Chen Ming19540] Hey? Thats right... Hora realized something and looked further up the list. The first place had changed hands. [[Favored by the Dragon] Luo Xi200000] With two hundred thousand contribution points, far surpassing Soul Wena in second place by four times. ... The petite girl, using a black rifle as a cane, sprinted forward, dust and anxiety streaked across her delicate face. It was her first time seeing her senior in the Dream World. Yet, she could only watch from a distance. Many had gone there to pick up what was left; a man tried to approach the sprinting girl, only to be flung away by some immense force the moment he neared, not knowing how many bones he had broken. She was no longer the same as before. After experiencing various incidents in the City of Silence, her raw strength now reached 40. Using the skill Power of Doubling and the high boost from the talent [Messenger of the Dark Night] under the late-night state, her strength could break through to over 400. That is also why she was able to fire that shot, Thousand Miles of Brilliance. A normal person, even a Third-tier sublimated person, couldnt withstand that terrifying recoil. When Ai Xue arrived at where The Dark Void Tree used to stand, she found Luo Xis crash site enclosed by people, with a reddish glow screening it, preventing clarity of the situation inside. Ai Xue randomly asked a man, "Senior... where is the one who fell down?" "I dont know, that little Red Dragon and him seem to both be inside here." The man glanced at Ai Xue, thinking to himself whether such a young girl was also selected as a player. The officials of "Dawn" really are novices. ... On the ground lay a blood-soaked Dragon Horn girl trying to stuff the organs back into the remaining half of Luo Xis body, tears the size of beans streaming down from her eyes incessantly. "Child, dont be scared, Mommy will definitely save you." Luo Xi struggled to open his eyes, "Maybe... just let me die." "No, Mommy will definitely save little Luo Xi!" "I already said I can resurrect, ah!" Chapter 383 - 274: Dragon Mama’s Dragon Blood and Dragon’s Saliva are Really Good_1 Chapter 383: Chapter 274: Dragon Mamas Dragon Blood and Dragons Saliva are Really Good_1Perception under synchronized dream state is not weakened. Hence, Luo Xi could clearly feel the sensation of his organs touching the air outside, as well as the sensation of Florecia supporting those organs. And there was the pain that made him wish for death. This clumsy Dragon Mama really was something, he told her he would resurrect, why wouldnt she give up? A body missing half its mass, how could it possibly be saved? Not even if Hua Tuo were alive could there be salvation. Thats what Luo Xi thought. Then he witnessed Florecia position his organs back in place before biting fiercely into her own wrist, tearing away a large chunk of flesh. Steamy red dragons blood, blazing hot, suddenly spurted out, showering onto the missing parts of his body. [Ding! Your body is being covered by the blood of the Black Abyss Flame Dragon and is under regeneration...] The blood of a Dragon Origin Beast is in itself a rare material, indispensable in many paths of Sublimation. The dragons blood of a high-tier Dragon Origin Beast is even more precious, possessing the effects of bringing back the dead and regenerating lost flesh and bone. However, it also comes with formidable side effects. Ordinary people, even those who are sublimated, if their own tier is lower than that of the dragon the blood comes from, there is a risk of being forcibly transformed into a Dragon Species Mutant Patient after using dragons blood. Since Mutation and Sublimation virtually have no possibility of coexistence, the probability of Sublimated individuals collapsing mentally and regressing into brainless monsters post-transformation is even higher than that of ordinary people. Therefore, despite the strong healing effects of dragons blood, there arent many who dare to use it. Except for those who are already of the Dragon Species Variant. Luo Xis consciousness was originally fuzzy, but upon the touch of the dragons blood on his body, it gave his spirit an immediate boost. Itchy, warm, prickling. A multitude of tendons extended from the gap in Luo Xis body, white bones and blood vessels reconstructing swiftly, with new skin growing as tender as that of a baby. [Ding! Traveler, the tier of your Mutant Factor is being elevated... The elevation is complete.] [Different species (Purple/Epic+)Derived from a high-class monarch, the Abyss Flame Dragons Mutant Factor, projected to retain human form until reaching the initial stage of Mutation Tier Four. Upon completion of transformation, capable of directly becoming a mid-level Lord-tier Red Dragon, infused with a portion of Black Dragon Species strength.] [Ding! Your Factor Concentration has increased by 2 percentage points.] [Current Factor Concentration: 8.51%] [Ding! Your Strength +30, Physique +30, Spirit +10, Intelligence +10] Luo Xi: "!" Here we go again. Although he had only met this Dragon Lady a few days ago, Luo Xi felt like he was irreversibly on the path to becoming a little Red Dragon. Being able to maintain human form up to the initial stage of Tier Four...meant that once he became a Tier Four Mutated Transcender, if he wanted to advance further, would he just have to choose becoming a dragon? No, not necessarily. The Rat King Nos seemed to have wanted to step into the monarch level realm whilst retaining human form, that was his reason for wanting to steal the Winter Testament. So, with the "Moonflow" and "Void" True Canons in his possession, he might not need to actually turn into a dragon to continue activating the power of his factors. Furthermore, those paths to Sublimation were provided by the Truth of Divine Tree. If those two Origins could be replanted to become the Eternal World Tree, was it possible for him to uncover a way to convert to Sublimation? Luo Xi was quite envious of the two myth-grade items he possessed. Pity that neither could be actively used by him. While Luo Xi was pondering, Florecia seemed to think she had dripped enough blood and lowered her hand, seriously observing the regenerating part of Luo Xis body with her amber-gold vertical pupils, saying: "Little Luo Xi, hang in there, if its not enough, Mama has more, as much as you need!" "..." Luo Xi couldnt help but yawn. Although the regeneration was mainly consuming Dragon Mamas blood, it was also greatly depleting him. Looking at Luo Xis exhausted state, the Dragon Horn girl tilted her head. She remembered humans highly coveted something from lower-tier dragons, in addition to dragons blood. They were also desperate for something else. What was it again? Oh right, it seemed to be the saliva that dragons drooled during sleep. Once the saliva fell on herbs, it would make the herbs exceedingly valuable. Was it called Dragon...Dragons Saliva Grass? From old memories, she recalled this grass was very beneficial to humans, its effects seemingly related to nourishing vitality and energy. So would pure saliva have a better effect? It was worth a try. She felt elated at the thought. Thousands of years of guardianship didnt offer her many interesting memories, but the days spent with this child had brought her immense joy. The Dragon Horn girl leaned in, those lush lips slowly approaching the part of Luo Xis body that was regenerating. Luo Xi: "(((;???;)))!" Dragon Mama, what are you doing?! [Note: Experience it, Dragon Mamas saliva (Dragons Saliva)ugh, just thinking about it makes me mad, its filthy, next time I want to seal your mouth shut, you garbage Traveler ()!] Luo Xi: "Hm?" Why would you seal my mouth shut? That damn text seems to be saying weird things again. At that moment, Florecias head paused above the vigorously regenerating part of Luo Xis body. She slightly parted her lips. The clear saliva, like a shimmering thread, drifted gently downward and landed on Luo Xis still intensely regenerating body. With the addition of the dragons saliva, the speed of the dragon bloods repair work accelerated further. After a dozen seconds or so, Luo Xi regained sensation in the right half of his body, almost completely regenerating the missing parts. He couldnt help but feel somewhat embarrassed. Florecia really wanted to save him, without having those messy thoughts. It seemed that, indeed, such naughty thoughts were only in her own head... At that moment, Luo Xi saw Florecias delicate little face, which was inexplicably flushed, her smooth, fair shoulders and her attractive collarbones drooping. The black pleated skirt supported her snow-white softness, which was trembling slightly. In the girls eyes, there was a hint of seductiveness as they shimmered. She asked in a light tone, "Little Luoxi, how are you feeling, any better?" Luo Xi tried to contain the pounding in his heart and nodded. He attempted to use his right arm to prop himself up from the ground, but the newly regenerated half of his body felt no different, almost as if it were the original. Well... it probably should be considered the original. Luo Xi didnt notice that, as he got up, Florecia was clutching her chest. She took slow breaths, trying to regulate her fluctuating emotions. For some reason, whenever she got close to Luo Xi, she felt an urge to devour him. Was it because the factor concentration in Little Luoxis blood was now very high? No, she couldnt eat the child! Florecia cautioned herself again in her mind. She then released the barrier that enveloped them both. ... High above in the sky. Alexilita flapped her wings and returned to Bahamut, who had been watching from a distance. The Red Dragon huffed, "Done. Dont call me for this kind of thing again in the future. Let those ground-dwellers deal with it themselves. The Eternal World Tree is under their control, and its not just meant to be a shelter. These controllers of the Divine Tree are becoming more and more useless." The Black Dragon replied, "Yeah, I feel the same way." Alexilita hesitated for a moment before asking, "Speaking of which, dont you think Flo is a little too intimate with that human?" Bahamut said casually, "Well, they share the same source of mutant factors. Maternal instincts kicking in, wanting to take care of the child personally, seems normal." "Is her humanity perhaps too well preserved?" "Who knows~" .... As time passed, more and more players flocked to the vicinity. They all knew below that red barrier lay the Black Death God Luo Xi and the girl who was a Red Dragon incarnation. Someone speculated, "They arent doing something naughty inside, are they?" "Its possible." "Thats just toono, I mean, too enviable!" "Envy the big-shot, after a battle, he immediately gets a cute Dragon Lady Lolita delivered to his doorstep." Some fearless players even attacked the red barrier with weapons, shouting, "Open up and let us have a look! Were all Travelers from the Otherworld, dont be such strangers!" They were then burned to a crisp by a flame as thick as a fist that erupted from the barrier. Ai Xue stood outside the crowd, biting her lip. She too, was curious about what her senior and that Dragon incarnation girl were doing inside. The senior had said that the Dragon Lady treated him like her child. Could this be a trick by the Dragon Lady? The girls from the Dream world were really cunning... Smack The red barrier surrounding the scene suddenly disappeared. Luo Xi looked up and was taken aback. Where did all these people come from? The noisy voices and the crowded crowd made it feel like a morning vegetable market. Some people couldnt wait to surge forward. "A real Lolita, and huge at that, a buxom Red-haired Little Lolita Dragon Lady!" sea??h th N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Cute!" "Please teach us your lady-charming skillsno, I mean, your skills for wooing mythical creatures!" "I hereby declare you the true Dragon Knight!" Florecia had long known these humans were encircling them. She frowned in displeasure, grabbed Luo Xi with one hand and lightly stamped her foot on the ground. A wall of scorching flames rose, keeping all those who wanted to come closer at bay. "Senior..." A petite girl squeezed out from the crowd, her eyes tinted with a purple hue as she looked at the Dragon-horned girl beside Luo Xi with a delicate expression. Luo Xi: "!" Isnt that Ai Xue? Right, this event had brought all the players here. Florecia, following Luo Xis gaze, noticed the small human girl and without hesitation, she scooped Ai Xue into their midst. "Another friend of yours, Little Luoxi?" Luo Xi nodded: "Yes." Ai Xue heard Luo Xis neutral response and felt a bit aggrieved. She was supposed to be his girlfriend after all! The senior really was a scumbag! Chapter 384 - 275 Dragon Mama: Isn’t it normal for a mother to kiss her child? _1 Chapter 384: Chapter 275 Dragon Mama: Isnt it normal for a mother to kiss her child? _1Dozens of kilometers away, an elf with two pairs of transparent thin wings furrowed his brows, hovering mid-air. Anas somewhat regretted having fled so quickly. He hadnt expected the legendary dragon to actually make a move. The Red Dragon, Alexilita, an Abyssal Emperor standing at the pinnacle of the sixth order, along with the Black, Green, White, Blue, Yellow, and Purple Dragons, held the title of the Colorful Dragon Emperors. From a distant era, they had left countless stories and legends throughout the world. Even compared to the Eternal World Tree, they were at a similar tier, said to be able to contend with the complete Origin Disaster. In some epics, the White Dragon had once frozen the Flame DisasterFreymlin, and the Black Dragon had shattered the Earth DisasterGruldus and an entire floating landmass. They seemed more like the guardians of this world than the Eternal World Tree was. If one could gain their recognition, perhaps it would be possible to obtain something like a scale, and even a small piece of it was an incredibly precious material. Given to craftsman of the Grandmaster tier, at the very least, they could forge an epic quality weapon. However, the Red Dragon, who had intervened in the battle before the Red Dragon made a move, seemed to still be there, not having left. Should he go over and take a look? This thought appeared for only two seconds before he cast it out of his mind. That dragon was not a being he could afford to provoke. All he wanted now was to return to Emerald City and question those who were spectating from the palace. Didnt they realize if he failed, it would bring trouble to the entire Emerald Forest and the Elf race? Anas couldnt believe that with the capabilities of the palace, they wouldnt be aware of the changing situation here. And those humans who could resurrect. In Anass eyes, a deep wariness surfaced. Compared to the Fallen Tree, those humans were far more terrifying to him. What on earth were they? ... The International Hunter Forum. Once the red barrier at the location of The Dark Void Tree vanished, images captured by cameras in Kobayashi Wild were immediately shared. [Argo: Yay! I saw it! Its the great Luo Xi and his mount, the Red Dragon Lady, Hora. Can you move the camera closer?] [Bear King: Saying that here wont let Hora see it.] [sensei: Thats close enough, just zoom in on the screenshot; what a beautiful girl! Estimated height, 1.5 meters, long live the Dragon Lady Lolita!] [Heart of the Deep Sea: Those oppai seem pretty big, although I prefer flat-chested Lolitas, occasionally changing taste isnt bad, maybe Black Death God thinks the same?] Sar?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Hurricane: The main point is being able to ride without changing into a dragon, Luo Xi is a role model to us all, the first true Dragon Knight in the real world~] [Heart of the Deep Sea: I wanna ride too] [Argo: +1, wanna ride~] [Cherry Blossoms of My Hometown: A bunch of morons lusting over a little girl, go die all of you!] [Argo: Tsk, who knows how old she is, still a little girl? The next time you start a challenge or a duel, Ill be the first one to come and beat you to death] [Heart of the Deep Sea: Together] At this moment, as other players tried to approach, a blazing firewall rose. [Masked Rider 1: Hey, it seems the big shot is conscious of his idol image, not saying a word.] [Gilgamesh: Look, doesnt it seem like a girl was let in there?] [sensei: Thats a player, right, it really is a cute little Lolita... looks very adorable too.] [Bermula: I seem to have some impression of that girl...] Soon, related screenshots involving Ai Xue were rapidly captured and shared. Since Luo Xis information was already available on the forum, it didnt take long for someone to recognize the little girl as Luo Xis junior from his college daysAi Xue. Although her appearance didnt quite fit her age, it was generally confirmed to be Ai Xue. Turning from a young girl into a Lolita was rare, but most were only slightly surprised. In Dreamland, anything can happen, even an eighty-year-old granny hitting the jackpot with a youth-restoring talent, turning into a vibrant and beautiful young girl the next day. [sensei: Identification complete, a legal Lolita; seems the Black Death God really likes little Lolitas, those rumors must not be unfounded~] [Argo: If I present my adorable third-grade little sister to great Luo Xi, will he allow me to ride his dragon?] [Bear King: Xia countryman, where are your morals?] Xia country. The staff of Dreamland Travel Bureau were also watching the live stream. Luo Xi was now essentially the top influencer in "Dawn", and his news was not only enjoyable to follow but also somewhat headache-inducing for them. For players from Xia country, the stronger the better, like a king-tier Red Dragon; as long as it was controllable, it was a powerful ally. From Luo Xis actions, being able to ride the Dragon Lady at will implied he had been somewhat recognized. However, the reputation of being a Loli-con seemed to be getting harder to clean. How were they supposed to clear this up? They hoped to build a role model full of shining traits to lead new players forward in "Dawn", not someone whose mention makes people think of little Lolitas! If the youth of the future aim to be like Luo Xi, and their sexual inclination turns to Loli-cons, what then? Dreamland was not a place for travelers to flirt with beast-eared Lolitas... One of the senior executives spoke solemnly, "Or perhaps, let it be? We wont purposely promote him anymore; I figure this kind of thing will happen again. From this emergency, its clear that everything else is irrelevant, and only growing stronger is the truth." Chapter 385 - 275 Dragon Mama: Isn’t it normal for a mother to kiss her child? _2 Chapter 385: Chapter 275 Dragon Mama: Isnt it normal for a mother to kiss her child? _2"Seconded." "Seconded." Thus, without Luo Xis knowledge, a series of rapid orders concerning him were issued by the Dreamland Travel Bureau, and the exaggerated advertising about Luo Xi was immediately lifted, though they still retained the guidance of public opinion. For instance, this time the guidance directed that the Dragon KnightLuo Xi, at the critical moment with his Red Dragon mount, saved the world with his magnificent stature! ... /// After Florecia pulled Ai Xue in, the firewall became denser, blocking the other players outside once again. The girls feelings of resentment were unmistakable, leaving Luo Xi quite uncomfortable under the aggrieved gaze of Ai Xues eyes. After all, this situation resembled being caught by ones girlfriend while shopping with another woman outside. Although Florecia claimed to see him as a child, somebody had to believe that, and even he himself was starting to doubt the Dragon Ladys true intentions. Well... Fortunately, Weier and Aina, the two sisters, werent here. Otherwise, if four Lolitas got together, that would be quite the spectacle, almost enough to play mahjong. [Note: If four of them were together, couldnt you take the opportunity to throw a sex party?] Climb! No, Damn Text, if youve got the guts, come out and join too! [Note: No way! I dont want those garbage Travelers licking and touching me all over (), getting bitten a few times is one thing, but the thought of being injected with some weird sticky fluid is just too dirty!] Luo Xi: "???" S~ea??h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Whos going to do that with you, a being hidden behind words? God knows how many tentacles you have! And whats this getting bitten a few times nonsense, have I ever bitten you? "Senior..." Ai Xue glanced at the Dragon Horn girl and felt a bit uncertain; she had seen for herself just how powerful this Dragon Lady was, and she was on a completely different level than all of them players. "Hehe." Luo Xi chuckled softly and pulled Ai Xue into his embrace. Ai Xue, in her nocturnal state, was tiny, even shorter than Aina, barely reaching up to his chest. Though he wasnt a Loli-con in the true sense, he still found Ai Xue to be very cute at the moment. Some perverted goldfish man on the street seeing Ai Xue would probably be thinking about how to kidnap this girl, right? "So hot..." The moment she was pulled into Luo Xis searing embrace, the girls body trembled slightly. This was her first time in "Dawn" touching the senior. So warm, and... it made her feel so secure. However, thinking of how many girls got to share such an embrace in this world, a feeling of jealousy inevitably rose in the girls heart. Luo Xi hesitated for a moment, then turned Ai Xue around, facing the Dragon Lady, and said, "Let me introduce you, this is... my mom, Florecia, an actual dragon." Ai Xue nodded slightly towards the Dragon Lady, "Hello, maam, Im Luo Xis girlfriend, my name is Ai Xue." Luo Xi: "..." Girlfriend, huh? The day Weier came to reality, he did indeed tell Ai Xue that he liked her. Although their relationship wasnt made explicit, in Ai Xues view, that was his confession to her, representing the Sublimation of their relationship. If it werent for Weier and Aina, Ai Xue would have already been the winner, but unfortunately, he wanted them all. [Note: Truly incurable, this garbage Traveler is such a scumbag~] Not even close! I simply dont want to let any kind-hearted girl be heartbroken, alright! [Note: Yes, yes, yes, my heart and my actions are as clear as a mirror, everything I do is just, right~] "Dont call me aunt." At that title, Florecia immediately became a bit irritable, saying coolly, "Call me by my name, or something else at your leisure, but dont use terms like mom or aunt." "Ah?" Ai Xue felt her heart sink. Arent you the one who claimed to be the seniors mother? If you wont accept those titles, you must have ulterior motives towards the senior, right? That Wolf Eared Lolita was right; the Dragon Lady definitely had her eyes on the senior and was thinking about some breeding game. Florecia also took some time to size up Ai Xue. So small. The friends Little Luo Xi makes are even smaller than each other. Of course, she wasnt so idle as to correct Luo Xis tastes; in the end, they all have to transform into dragons like her, at which point the memories of their human times would become precious treasures. Florecia looked up to the sky. She felt the chaotic energy here dissipating. It probably wouldnt be long before things returned to normal. It was almost time to leave. "Little Luo Xi, shall we go?" she asked. Luo Xi shook his head and said, "We need to wait a bit more; none of us can leave for the time being." Before the half-hour tally was up, no player could exit the synchrony directly. Florecia nodded. She wasnt bothered by such a small amount of time. However... she didnt want to see Little Luo Xi so close to his girlfriend in front of her. Florecia grabbed Luo Xi and sat him down on the ground. The sudden pull led to Luo Xis head colliding with the soft whiteness, throwing him into three seconds of befuddlement. Dragon Mama said gently while holding Luo Xi down, "Take off your clothes, let mom check if your wounds have healed?" "The wounds are healed already..." "Let mom check thoroughly." "Dont, dont take off the pants!" Rip "At least leave the underwear on!" Ai Xue: "!!!" [Ding! Ai Xues Shock Value against you +100] The girl looked on somewhat helplessly. This Dragon Lady is so... so shameless! Chapter 386 - 275 Dragon Mama: Isn’t it normal for a mother to kiss her child? _3 Chapter 386: Chapter 275 Dragon Mama: Isnt it normal for a mother to kiss her child? _3What are you doing to my boyfriend! Is this something a mom should be doing to her child? Its not like those Island Country animes that are indescribable... Dont ask her how she knows; there are two senior women roommates in the dormitory, each changing boyfriends every month, they talk about everything, and shes picked up a lot of strange knowledge just by listening in. Ai Xue mustered up her courage and shouted loudly, "Miss Dragon, senior looks very uncomfortable, can you please stop doing this!" Florecia stopped fiddling with Luo Xis recently restored half of his body, lifted her head, and with golden-red vertical pupils gazed at Ai Xue, saying, "Little Luoxi is in a very good mood, how do you think he feels uncomfortable?" "Ah?" Ai Xue looked at the life is meaningless expression on seniors face in the arms of the Dragon Lady, thinking isnt this just blatantly lying? Ai Xue wanted to take out a weapon from her bag, but thinking the other person wasnt hurting senior, and maybe senior was outwardly resistant but inwardly enjoying, she felt even worse. She felt like she had been cuckolded. Clearly, it was the first time she met senior in the Dream World, she thought she could do something for senior, but why did it turn out like this? [Ding! Ai Xues grievance points to you +88] If it had been Weier or Aina, she guessed she wouldnt have had this strange feeling, since she already knew about those two girls and had also made a promise with Weier. Had Weier encountered this Dragon Lady? What was she thinking? Over on Luo Xis side, he was completely giving up. With Florecias strength, a single finger was enough to hold him down. Since there was no way to resist, then might as well enjoy... Impossible! This time, Dragon Mama seemed to have been provoked by Ai Xue and therefore forcibly locked him in her embrace, no matter how Luo Xi struggled, he could only feel the soft embrace. And he realized his voice was locked again. These big shots always had abilities like muting. Time slipped away by the minute. Ai Xue just stood by, glaring. Soon, half an hour passed quietly. Ai Xue walked over to Luo Xis side, her expression dim, "Senior, Im going first." What an unpleasant day. Luo Xis lips moved slightly. Ai Xue blinked. She read seniors lip language. "See... you... there?" The girls mood suddenly lifted again. It seems that senior hadnt forgotten about her after all. Right, on this side senior couldnt do anything, with his strength, he could only be played with like a toy by the Red Dragon Lady, but that didnt mean senior was a Scumbag who forgot his old love when he found new love. Although senior was indeed enough of a scumbag. Ai Xue smiled and nodded her head. She defiantly glanced at Florecia, who had taken Luo Xi for herself, with her slightly purple-tinged eyes. No matter how powerful you are in this world, so what? S~ea??h the N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. In the end, you can only have the person senior is in this world. Weier and Aina, those two sisters, are much more formidable than you; they are the culprits behind turning senior into a scumbag and Loli-con. I dont believe you can turn senior into a mother-con... Ai Xues gaze swept over the Dragon Horn girls snow-white bosom and her delicate face. The girl felt like she was plummeting into the Abyss. Done for! This ones also a Lolita! And shes even busty! From the look of the swelling, its just as Aina said, bigger even than during the day. And while her body gets smaller at night, her chest shrinks along with it... Ai Xue originally thought that senior might only like flat-chested Little Lolitas. Later, she realized, senior was probably a face-con; as long as its a cute and pretty Lolita, he likes them, big or small. Too bad she didnt meet senior in junior high. At that time, she mightve been able to easily win senior over, instead of now having to share with girls from other worlds... [Note: If so, the bustard Traveler would have gone in early and wouldnt have waited until now~] Luo Xi: "?" Suddenly, the 20-kilometer square white dome covering them disappeared. Buildings belonging to the real world vanished rapidly, leaving only the part of the Emerald Forest. Most of the players were sent back to their original places by the white light, only characters like Luo Xi, who had personally come to the Dream World, were not sent back. Ai Xues figure also disappeared in the light. Florecia, carrying Luo Xi, spread her Dragon Wings, transforming into a dragon several meters long, and soared into the sky. Luo Xi was tossed onto her back as well. [Ding! Because youve ridden the same dragon multiple times, youve earned the title: Dragon Knight] [Dragon Knight: Equipping this title, when riding a Dragon Origin Beast, your all qualities increase by +1%] Luo Xi: "..." He wanted to ask if this Dragon Knight title was the serious kind. [Note: Maybe, you garbage Traveler, you could try the unserious kind?] Try and just die, right! Florecia asked, "Now, do we go back to your town?" "Yeah." "That Hollow Flower cant be used anymore, Mama needs to carry you across the High Sky over the Confused Mountain Range." "Alright... can you tell me what High Sky is?" "Mama doesnt know either, thats the realm of the Lords, but Mama has heard from others that it is a reflection of the Starry Sky, a trace of the Abyss." "Those Lords, do they include the Black Dragon, Bahamut, aside from the Giant Dragon we saw earlier?" Chapter 387 - 275 Dragon Mama: Isn’t it normal for a mother to kiss her child? _4 Chapter 387: Chapter 275 Dragon Mama: Isnt it normal for a mother to kiss her child? _4"You know Lord Bahamut?!" "I once rode an airship to High Sky, and it gave me one of its scales." Luo Xi took out the broken scale given to him by the Black Dragon, never expecting that Florecias body would suddenly shake violently, even affecting the stability of her flight. Sarch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The body of the Red Dragon instantly shrank, and she reverted back to her humanoid form. Looking at the broken scale, she excitedly hugged Luo Xi and said, "Lord Bahamut, to think he acknowledged you before even I did... truly deserving of being my child! Youve earned the Lords approval!" Smack Florecias tender red lips moved away from Luo Xis face, leaving a moist, translucent red mark from the somewhat hot saliva. ... Weier and Aina were in the manors kitchen preparing a late-night snack using various ingredients. No matter what, Luo Xi would surely be hungry when he came back, right? Having something to eat would be good. That Dragon Lady likely doesnt know how to cook. Even after experiencing the various delicacies of that world, Weier was still confident in her cooking skills. Hmm~ A warm breeze blew in from the open window. "Theyre back," Weier immediately said. "Aina, go open the door." Aina ran to pull the door open, peering outside. "Guess who?" Little Wolf Girls eyes were suddenly covered, and a muffled voice could be heard. Aina hummed softly, "Brother Luo Xi, stop messing around, Aina can tell its you by the scent!" "As expected of Aina." Luo Xi smiled, released his hands, and walked into the kitchen, followed by Florecia, who was holding the half-piece of the scale, her gaze flickering uncertainly. Cat Cat was still busy preparing ingredients. Seeing Luo Xi approach, she smiled and said, "Come, have a drink first... huh?" Weiers gorgeous red eyes were fixed intently on Luo Xis face. What is that? A lip mark, reddened through the flesh...? [Ding! Weiers Anger Value toward you +100] Wasnt he supposed to be helping with that strange Black Divine Tree? What on earth did those two do outside! They couldnt have left her and Aina just to engage in some indecent shenanigans, could they? They kissed so intensely... who knows what more intense things they might have done! (n)! Luo Xi was somewhat puzzled. Cat Cats Anger Value... "Brother Luo Xi." A frosty voice came from Ainas mouth. Luo Xi turned his head to the right and saw Ainas beautiful tea-golden eyes, now utterly void of light. Little Wolf Girl tilted her head, speaking in a flat tone, "Brother Luo Xi, theres a womans lip mark on your face... Who might that be from, hmm~ Didnt you say this trip was to protect the world you care about? Then why the kiss? Why, indeed?" Aina, without a knife in hand this time, steadily closed the distance, her lifeless gaze appearing quite frightening as she pressed up against him. Luo Xi swallowed involuntarily. He wanted to logout and escape. Ai Xue was probably already on her way back too. "I was the one who kissed him," Florecia casually remarked, setting aside the scale. "Whats the issue? Its quite normal for a mother to kiss her child, isnt it? Besides, its not like we did that sort of thing." Luo Xi: "()!" Dragon Mama, could you please not add fuel to the fire! Im the one whos going to pay the price here. He touched his own face. Why would there be a lip mark without lipstick! Weiers pretty face flushed slightly and she said, "A kiss is normal, but why leave such a deep mark? Just how much force did you use?" "And, sneaking a bite is not good manners!" Luo Xi felt helpless. He was about to explain that it was due to the Dragon Ladys saliva containing too much energy, not because of extra force used. However, Florecia, a bit flustered, said, "Youre all thinking too much. I certainly didnt plan to devour Little Luo Xi! Ive never thought of such a thing!" Luo Xi: "..." Chapter 389 - 277: Capturing the Girl of the Future (Paid - )_1 Chapter 389: Chapter 277: Capturing the Girl of the Future (Paid Chapter)_1"Ouch..." Ai Xues small hands instinctively grabbed the thin bedsheet, clutching it tightly. Her beautiful eyes opened slightly, her gaze intertwining with Luo Xis and becoming blurred. It seemed she still hadnt succeeded. Although she had seen it when she bathed Senior last time, Senior really was amazing. Her late-night self at one or two oclock couldnt withstand it at all. If she really went through with it, she would break, wouldnt she? However, looking at the young mans handsome face, the girls eyes showed a trace of determination. "Senior, go harder, dont pity me!" No matter what, she must conquer Senior today! When Weier and Aina come later, she would have the confidence to stand before them. I am the first one to conquer Senior! All you Seniors with harems in other worlds, get in line behind her. "Dont overdo it. Ive already said its not possible, lets just wait a bit longer." Luo Xi didnt do anything else as he lay down, holding the girl in his arms, smelling the faint scent on her hair strands, and said helplessly, "At this rate, I feel like Im going to be arrested, really like a pervert doing strange things to a little Lolita." "Hehe." Ai Xue raised her hand, resting her finger on Luo Xis head, and said with a sly smile, "Its fine, Im already 22 years old, and if Senior were to vent all his desires on me, and not act on any real, cute little Lolitas, that would be for the best." Luo Xi replied with a wry smile, "Dont worry, I wont do anything illegal." "What about that beast-eared girl? You said you were going to marry her." "Mm... thats why I said Id marry Aina when she grows up." "Sss" A sudden sharp pain came from his waist. Luo Xi gasped in the chilly air of the air conditioner. Ai Xue said unhappily, "When were doing this sort of thing, dont mention other girls, and matters like marriage should start with me first, shouldnt they?" Luo Xi: "..." He wanted to say wasnt it her who brought it up first? But at times like this, it was better not to say anything at all. "Lets rest." Luo Xi closed his eyes, ready to rest. Although he hadnt left, it was already enough; he didnt want to hurt this girl who willingly chased after him for three years. "No, its only one oclock now, we can wait another hour or two! As it gets close to dawn, I will gradually get bigger." "Emmm... so, what shall we do in these two hours?" Ai Xue turned over, lying on Luo Xis chest, her pretty face blushing as she said, "Even if we cant do that now, I can still make Senior comfortable. My two roommates talk about weird things every day, Ive learned quite a bit just by listening!" "Hmm?" Luo Xi looked puzzled. Then he saw Ai Xue slowly moving backwards, taking a deep breath, her fine hair falling on his leg, making him feel a bit ticklish. Soon, he knew what Ai Xue was going to do. The girl bent down her head. Without hesitation. Moist, warm... An indescribable sensation made Luo Xis mind go blank. [Ding! Your Lust Value +99] [Note: Everythings ruined, the damn Traveler has truly been eaten, this is a massive defeat for the beast-eared girls~] ... Dream world. In a bedroom that was newly tidied after yesterdays earthquake, Weier looked at Luo Xi, who was laid out on a lone bed. Florecia casually sat on a stool beside the bed, squinting for a nap, her aura so chilling that no one dared to get close. Weier and Aina both knew that the Luo Xi here was just a shell. "He even dared to escape." "What is he doing now?" "I wonder if Ai Xue managed to keep an eye on Luo Xi over there..." As Weier was thinking this, she hugged Aina and fell asleep. ..... It was eight in the morning. Luo Xis left arm was pressed under Ai Xue as a pillow, and his right hand was held in an embrace, that warm softness felt totally different from the experience at night. On the girls beautiful brows, there still lingered a wince of pain and a trace of a blush. What should have been done and what shouldnt have, had all been accomplished. From last night at one until past three, Luo Xi watched as Ai Xue slowly grew up; the sensation was extraordinarily strange. Is this what a girlfriend is like, with all kinds of experiences? As for why Luo Xi didnt run away... the girl had made all the preparations. Ai Xue had already been feeling very insecure because of Kitten Aina and Dragon Mama in the dream world, she just wanted to secure that sense of security from him. If he ran away, would he still be a man? Luo Xi gazed at the ceiling in a daze, now somewhat longing for a cigarette to smoke. But he didnt smoke, so forget it. Whatever was meant to happen, had happened anyway. Unless he could turn back time and do it all over again last night... A thought flashed through Luo Xis mind. Perhaps, its not impossible? [Note: Damned Traveler, you have already become a big hentai in both thought and action!] Luo Xi raised an eyebrow. Damn text, you werent peeping all night yesterday, were you? By the way, are you male or female, or genderless? [Note: Dont get any ideas about me! I wont do those things for you! ()!] Tsk. Luo Xi ignored the damn texts complaints. "Senior..." The girl beside him had already woken up. Luo Xi looked down at her and asked softly, "Feeling okay?" Ai Xues physique and strength were frighteningly high at night, even higher than his, enhanced many times over. Now that she had returned to normal, it was uncertain what would happen. "Hmm, still, still okay." Ai Xue subconsciously dodged Luo Xis gaze and wrapped her body in the air conditioning blanket, only revealing a pair of moist eyes. It was only then she realized she wasnt wearing anything, with Luo Xis right hand still held in her embrace. After all, they were both exhausted after last nights activities and had soon fallen asleep. Ai Xue covered her innocent face and whimpered softly, "Woo, Ive been completely devoured by my senior, I wont be able to get married now." Luo Xis right hand moved slightly. "Ah" A delightful moan escaped the girls lips as her cheeks blushed even more. She heard that men have certain needs in the morning. Could it be that her senior wanted to...again, so early in the morning? But now, she was no longer in the state of a Lolita, would that still be okay? Smack! sea??h th Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Luo Xi withdrew his right hand and flicked Ai Xues forehead, chuckling, "What are you thinking about? Get up, wash your face, and eat. With such a big event happening yesterday, theres probably a lot to do today." Ai Xue, holding her head, looked up at Luo Xi with watery eyes and whispered, "Senior, how about a good morning bite?" "What?" "Its just..." Ai Xue wanted to explain but noticed that Luo Xi was looking at her with a mischievous smile. The girls face immediately turned red, and she angrily pulled the blanket over her head, groping her way downwards. "Ouch!" [Ding! Due to the absorption of external pure Yuan Su, your Strength/Physique +1] In the bathroom, Luo Xi was washing up while the still-dressing Ai Xue looked at her message in confusion. Why did her strength and physique suddenly increase? From where did she absorb the pure Yuan Su? ... The aftermath of The Dark Void Tree incident kept Xia countrys Dreamland Travel Bureau extremely busy. After all, so many people had died. The Dreamland Travel Bureau had already dispersed all the gathered park players, not daring to gather them again and had to revert to the original free-range mode. As for player hunters... All those who had their identities exposed would receive an emergency call number, and if they encountered a player hunter, they could call for help immediately, waiting for the Travel Bureaus rescue. Jiao Qian looked at the piles of documents on his desk and massaged his temples with a headache. Having died three times yesterday and lost 60% of his attributes today, he was exhausted to the point of being worse off than a beast of burden. "Is Luo Xi still in the park?" His secretary said, "He is, both he and his little girlfriend Ai Xue are there." Jiao Qian nodded, "Thats good. With Luo Xi here, we dont have to worry about those freaks outside causing trouble." "After all, hes the first Dragon Knight of our world." "This Dragon Knight youre talking about... is he serious?" "Boss, youre forty years old, please have some dignity." The secretary rolled her eyes at Jiao Qian and left the office with the documents. Jiao Qian forced a smile. He had only heard about this from those wildly spread jokes. He didnt expect to be looked down upon by his secretary because of them. However, just a few minutes after the secretary left, she hurried back in saying: "Boss, the Black Death God, Luo Xi has submitted a request to leave the park." "Ah? Is it permanent departure? Has someone poached him?" Jiao Qian had a bad feeling. Just yesterday, the The Dark Void Tree incident happened, and Haicheng lost over two thousand potential Traveler reserves, and he absolutely couldnt let a top player like Luo Xi go. Even if Kyoto wanted people, he wasnt planning to give them any. But if Luo Xi himself wanted to leave... He wondered if he and Jiu Jian knelt down and begged him, would that make him stay? The secretary shook her head, "No, it seems like he just wants to go out today, to visit the cat caf where they used to work. I was wondering if we should send someone to protect them." Jiao Qian: "..." Then just go! Does that person even need protection? Its hard to say who would be protecting whom. .... Luo Xi was driving while Ai Xue sat in the passenger seat, her face brimming with joy. This was their first time going out on a date since they arrived at the park. Everything she did last night was indeed worth it. By now, her intimacy with her senior must have increased significantly, right? Hmph, whether its Aina or Weier, when they come here, she will have the confidence to speak with them. Ai Xue was already looking forward to their arrival. Speaking of which, she hadnt been to the cat caf in a long time, having left everything in Mu Mus hands. Even though she provided money to maintain the shops cash flow, she still felt somewhat embarrassed. So today, she was going to visit the cat caf first. And to introduce her senior to her parents... hehe~ ----- ----- Some readers have said that Ai Xues progress is too fast. But it cant be helped, after all, shes the female protagonist in the real world; fortune favors the bold. Having offered herself so thoroughly, if the male protagonist didnt take the opportunity, he would certainly be criticized for being a eunuch or something. Ai Xues storyline hasnt truly kicked off yet; it involves other continents, the story of the Mang Continent. (The author retracts the previous claim of no further female protagonists as the plot may not unfold without adding one or two more.) Of course, it wont be that easy to advance with the current female protagonists in the Dream world. Kitten Aina, Feya the little fox, Dragon Mama... they all have their own major storylines. By the time their stories are concluded, this book will be nearing its end. By the way, should the mother-in-law be included? (Hehe~) And Feya actually has a mother too~ Oh, and theres the Damn Text, right? Chapter 390 - 278: Devoured Completely? This is the Sisters’ Defeat_1 Chapter 390: Chapter 278: Devoured Completely? This is the Sisters Defeat_1The black SUV slowly made its way through the mountain roads for about twenty minutes before leaving the mountainous area. Luo Xi stopped the car at a crossroads and rolled down the window. The intersection led to the overlapping area of Haicheng from yesterday, which was still closed to traffic. Many employees from the Travel Agency were on patrol nearby. sea??h th ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Although the incident happened deep in the mountains, after the overlap of the Two Worlds, the affected area reached over ten kilometers, causing many buildings to be irreparably damaged. The houses and such were one thing. But the number of deaths here yesterday reached over two thousand, including new players, staff from the Travel Agency, and many ordinary employees and workers. Among these new players were college students who were still studying. Luo Xi felt a heavy heart. He thought that if he could have noticed something earlier that day, perhaps such extensive casualties could have been avoided. Seeing Luo Xi stop the car, Ai Xue curiously leaned over and asked, looking serious at the outside. "Senior? What are you looking at?" The fragrance from the girls hair brought Luo Xi out of his heavy thoughts. The Damn Text only reminded him after the event. What could he, a regular person, possibly do? Luo Xi slowly shook his head and said, "Nothing much, just thinking, with so many people dying around the world yesterday, will there still be people who look forward to Dawn in the future?" "Definitely," Ai Xue replied without hesitation, "Before the appearance of Dawn, most peoples pursuit of power and wealth far exceeded their fear of death, to say nothing of such transcendent Strength. Otherwise, why would there have been so many emperors in the history of Xia country pursuing immortality?" "Especially people like you, Senior, youve shown the way forward to those new players. Who would have thought that this game could make someone so powerful." Ai Xue paused for a moment, then spoke softly, "Also, Senior, youre the reason I play this game." Luo Xis heart quivered. He turned his head and saw Ai Xue had already shyly bowed her head, her delicate and pretty face involuntarily flushing with a rosy hue. From his angle, he could see her enticingly fair skin and the fine gap, which were unshrunken from the daylight, tempting one to reach in and play with them. Aware of the intense gaze from the young man beside her, Ai Xues face turned even redder. Her voice was as weak as a mosquitos hum as she murmured, "Senior, do you want it again? Here in the car... are we going to do it here?" Luo Xi: "...." This girl was really something. Until the night before, she was still a pure young girl. Theres a saying that once you taste the marrow, youll know the flavor. This was too stimulating for a young man like him. [Annotation: Cut it out, you perverted garbage Traveler. Im not interested in adults. Girl, you should come back at night. The garbage Traveler needs midnight] Ridiculous! Who isnt interested in adults?! And its difficult to get in even at one or two oclock, let alone at midnight! Luo Xi took a deep breath. Even if Ai Xue didnt mind, he couldnt just do that in the car. Luo Xi certainly didnt want to be secretly recorded by any possible brats hiding around, worsening his already disheveled reputation. A finger reached out to the girls head. Pop! "Ow!" Ai Xue clutched her head and whined. Luo Xi withdrew his finger, speaking helplessly, "What are you thinking about? Do you see me as someone who only thinks about such things?" Clutching her head, Ai Xue replied softly, "So, Senior, do you still like the smaller me?" "Where did you get that conclusion from?!" "But Senior, you did act on the smaller me last night..." Shss Luo Xi floored the accelerator, and the SUV immediately sped off. Twenty minutes later. Wanxiang City, the Meow Caf around the corner. When Ai Xue got out of the car, she staggered a bit, nearly falling to the ground on the spot, but Luo Xi was quick to steady her. "Are you alright?" Luo Xi asked. The girls delicate legs rubbed together as she frowned slightly and said, "No problem, it just still hurts a bit..." Even as she was at three oclock, she still felt only slightly larger than Cat Lady at the moment. This duplicitously straightforward guy always acted like it was enough, but once inside, he tossed aside any gentleness. If it hadnt been for the added Physique in the evening, she might have really been damaged by Senior... And she hadnt used a "condom" last night... she wondered if there would be an accident. Ai Xue touched her abdomen, lost in thought. Luo Xi asked softly, "Do you want me to carry you?" Ai Xue shook her head with a smile and said, "No need. Its just a few steps away. Besides, my bare Physique is quite strong now, so this little pain is no issue." She jumped up and down on the spot, then, taking Luo Xis hand, headed for the entrance of the Meow Caf. As soon as they entered, two pretty Maids with cat ears and tails bowed to them and sweetly said, "Welcome, this is Meow Caf around the corner. We hope masters can encounter the Cat Cat they like here." Luo Xi: "..." Huh? Had he entered the wrong place? Wasnt this supposed to be a pure Meow Caf? When did it turn into a Maid Meow Caf? Chapter 391 - 278: Devoured Completely? This is the Sisters’ Defeat_2 Chapter 391: Chapter 278: Devoured Completely? This is the Sisters Defeat_2Chen Momo, who was grinding coffee beans at the counter, noticed the two people who had just come in, and her eyes immediately lit up. "Xiao Xue!" Chen Momo walked out from behind the counter in her high heels, and the two girls joined hands without a word. Chen Momo said in surprise, "Xiao Xue, how come you deigned to visit today? I thought you had forgotten about our cafe and decided to be a hands-off boss for life." Ai Xue smiled and said, "Who said that? How could I possibly forget my best Momo? After all, this is the cafe we started together." "Hmph." Chen Momo glanced at Luo Xi behind Ai Xue and hummed discontentedly, lowering her voice, "I see, Xiao Xue, now that you have a man doting on you, youve forgotten about your besties. How come I feel like your skin is even better than before? Youre not being moisturized by this Senior Luo every day, are you?" "Of course not!" Ai Xues face turned red, and she changed the subject, "Speaking of which, whats the deal with our cat cafe? These two cat-eared maids..." Chen Momo looked suspiciously at Ai Xues reaction, then glanced at the composed Luo Xi. Has Xiao Xue been completely devoured? Damn it, my pure Xiao Xue, I havent even had the chance to mess around with her a few times, but now its very likely shes being toyed with on the bed by a man... [Ding! Chen Momos Resentment Value toward you +100] Luo Xi: "?" Ai Xue asked in confusion, "Momo?" Chen Momo pouted and explained, "Theyre freshmen from our school. They came for a part-time job, paid at ten yuan per hour, and work six hours a day before finishing." "Thats such low pay." "After all, theyre just trying to earn some living expenses. But seriously, with them attracting customers, our patronage has increased quite a bit. Its just too bad that you, Senior Luo, lured away our beautiful owner halfway through, or our cat cafe would definitely be the most famous one around here by now..." "Lured away? That sounds terrible." The two girls started teasing each other. The customers already inside the cafe, hearing the girls voices, just smiled knowingly. Pretty girls always get more tolerant treatment. Luo Xi was trying not to laugh or cry behind them. He could feel the deep resentment Chen Momo held against him. To some extent, it was indeed him who had whisked Ai Xue away, leaving her to look after their newly opened cafe on her own. "Meow~" Luo Xi looked down. He saw many cats had surrounded him. The talent for attracting small animals was still very effective. Ten minutes later, on the third floor of Wanxiang City, in an early morning tea restaurant. Chen Momo looked at the menu, made a few selections, and then casually asked, "Have you two really confirmed your relationship?" Luo Xi nodded, "Yes." Ai Xue felt a sweet little thrill inside. Senior has taken the initiative to acknowledge it~ "Xiao Xue, why dont you order some more?" Chen Momo pushed the menu toward Ai Xue, then looked at Luo Xi and continued, "Is Xiao Xues body really flexible and full of curves? Is she very sensitive?" Luo Xi: "???" Is this how girls talk with each other? Ai Xue also blushed with embarrassment at her best friends outrageous question. "Momo, what are you talking about!" "Nothing, I just wanted to see if Xiao Xue you had really been eaten up." Chen Momo sighed, "With such a big reaction, it looks like you have been eaten after all. Anyway, Senior Luo Xi, do you really like Xiao Xue? She is my best friend. Can I ask you to take care of her for a lifetime?" Luo Xi said without hesitation, "Yes, I will." Chen Momo smiled and said, "That being said, Senior Luo Xi, you rejected Xiao Xue so many times, why did you agree this time? If it werent for your reputation always being decent, I would have suspected that youre a Loli-con or even gay." Ai Xue revealed a radiant smile, "Youre right, Momo. Senior is a Loli-con~" Chen Momo replied with a surprised expression, "But Xiao Xue, youre not a lolita at all, look at your chest, you could use it as a cushion on the table." Ai Xue patted her chest confidently, "No big deal, I can change." "Haha, Xiao Xue, do you think youre a magical girl or something?" "The one who can actually change sizes?" Sar?h the n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Seems like you know quite a bit, huh?" Luo Xi listened with a smile to the conversation between the two chatty best friends. They had been over at the park these past few days, and it indeed was a bit stifling for Ai Xue. After what happened yesterday, taking her out to play for a while today was also a way to ease her mood. All of a sudden, Chen Momo said in a low voice, "Xiao Xue, Senior Luo Xi, did you hear about the big incident in the eastern district yesterday? The area is still cordoned off, and a lot of people are saying they woke up and found themselves in the suburbs as if by magic. Its like a supernatural event. Do you know whats going on?" Luo Xi and Ai Xue exchanged a glance. Did Chen Momo already know? It looks like the society-wide disclosure of "Dawn" is now unstoppable. Luo Xi shook his head, "Were not very clear on that. Ai Xue and I have been traveling recently." Chen Momo was immediately outraged, "I knew it, you lovebirds definitely ran off to have fun, leaving me alone to mind the store. How could you do that to me?" Ai Xue stood up from her seat and went over to Chen Momo, comforting her, "Well take you with us next time." Chen Momo cried and ran off, "I dont want to eat your dog food! Ive decided, I also need a handsome boyfriend! Xiao Xue, do you have any good men to recommend?" Chapter 392 - 278: Devoured Completely? This is the Sisters’ Defeat_3 Chapter 392: Chapter 278: Devoured Completely? This is the Sisters Defeat_3"Hmm... no." "Ki Koxiu, how about you share half of your senior with me..." "I knew I had to guard against fire, theft, and my besties!" "Heartless!" Luo Xi, listening to the two girls bicker like children, smiled and opened his text. He had no idea what the situation was like over there now. Dragon Mama surely wouldnt have laid a hand on Cat Cat and Aina after he left, right? Cat Cat and Aina must have calmed down by now, right? Luo Xi suddenly shivered. Just because of a kiss mark, he had to logout and escape. If what he and Ai Xue did were to be known by Cat Cat and Aina... [Note: Then the sex party could begin~] Itd be a cleaver for sure! [Traveler, youve opened your eyes] [You find a figure in a white dress sitting by the bed youre lying on; you cant see the face, but from the prominent curves, you can guess that the person is Florecia] Sarch* The N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Dragon Mama has sensed youre awake] [She moves back and looks down at you] [Different from her usual black dress, Dragon Lady in a white dress looks pure like a lotus emerging from the water, bringing with her a noble aura; her delicate face seems impervious to any desecration, like a saint] ["Little Luo Xi, youre awake!"] [However, as soon as the joyous voice came from Florecias mouth, the impression she gave you instantly switched back to how it was before] ["Luo Xi!"] ["Brother!"] [The two sisters, who were lying on the big bed, couldnt wait to get down and approached you] [Traveler, you thought they were going to question you about the kiss mark just like yesterday] [Unexpectedly, Weier quickly exclaimed: "People from the Noah Church have come again, saying they want to see the Lord of this place. This dragon lady wouldnt let us wake you up and even added a soundproof barrier around you, so we left the church envoy hanging for another two hours."] Luo Xi: "..." [Traveler, you used your teleportation ability, bringing the three people from your bedroom to outside the gates of Belgri Town] [But by the time you all got there, there wasnt a soul around, only the terrifying charred land spoke of the recent eventa bishop from Noah Church of Shining City met an inexplicable death right here] [Traveler, you notice a golden notice posted on the city wall] [It readIf the culprits behind the killing of Bishop Luca do not surrender themselves or come forward to confess their guilt by ten oclock tomorrow morning, then Archbishop Xius himself will come to arrest the murderer. You all better prepare!] [Traveler, you glance at the composed Florecia] [Archbishop, how tough is he? Could he withstand a punch from Dragon Mama?] Luo Xis expression became rather nuanced. According to his original plan, he should have already left the Shining Country by now, but now he found himself entangled with it again. Thankfully, Dragon Mama was here this time. "Senior, arent you going to order?" Ai Xue nudged Luo Xi a few times; realizing that Luo Xi was staring blankly, she guessed the senior must again be fiddling with his texts, perhaps flirting with the beastess sisters across the way and playing out the mother-son affectionate scenes with Dragon Mama. What a master of time management this senior is ()! "Hmm." Luo Xi casually picked a few dishes from the menu. ... Dream world. The visit from the Noah Church was quickly set aside by everyone. Florecia had already demonstrated her unbeatable strength. Though Weier wasnt keen to admit it, having this dragon lady around indeed gave her a sense of security. Luo Xi moved everyone back to the room, then went off to the bathroom to wash up, while Dragon Lady ran outside, her destination unknown. On the bed, Weier hugged Aina and whispered, "Aina, what time today does the cooldown for the cradle end?" Aina pondered and replied, "Probably around six or seven in the evening?" "Luo Xi seemed to plan on taking her there, didnt he?" "Yes, Brother Luo Xi said he would." "If she gets out of our sight, and with that Luo Xi over there..." "Sister Weier, actually, theres no need to worry about this, a little thought will make it clear." Aina patted on her sisters flat chest and then touched her own area that seemed to have developed somewhat recently, flashing a triumphant smile. "Huh?" Weier was taken aback. "Cant Sister Weier figure it out?" "What is it exactly?" "Really, sister, your IQ seems to have stopped developing along with your chest and height~" "You idiot Aina!" Weier grabbed Ainas regrowing, but still short, tail and pinched it hard. "Ow! Stop pinching, its going to fall off!" Struggling beneath Weier, Aina said, "Sister Weier think about it, shes so powerful. Regardless of which side shes on, if she really wanted to consume Brother, theres nothing we could do, right? What difference does it make?" "So youd be better off worrying about that Ai Xue. Her physique is so peculiar, shrinking and enlarging, always out of our sight, if she really seduces Brother Luo Xi, how could he possibly resist!" "Many times, Brother Luo Xi here is just a shell, so your deal with her is totally a loss!" Weier suddenly realized. Aina was right. If Florecia wanted to step in, they had no way to stop her. Nobody could. On the other hand, it was Ai Xue who was close to the real Luo Xi, even living together. If sparks flew between them... Weiers mood plummeted. But even if it really happened, what could she do? His presence here, her existence there, none of them were real. "So Sister Weier, you should take a bolder move. Once you get there, you eat up Brother Luo Xi thoroughly, leaving Ai Xue with nothing but dirt to eat, ow, sister, that hurts!" Weier () increased the strength of her tail-pinching. This silly sisters ideas are always so improper! [Note: Cute Wolfs idea isnt bad, but its too late. Now its the sisters defeat~] Chapter 393 - 280: Aina Comes to Serve as a Pillow for Brother, Ai Xue Wants to Eat......_1 Chapter 393: Chapter 280: Aina Comes to Serve as a Pillow for Brother, Ai Xue Wants to Eat......_1Emerald Forest, Laurel City. The blond youth paid for his lodging and, with a push of his monocle on his left eye, limped his way towards the citys outskirts. His eyes were filled with fine veins of blood and deep-seated terror. In the span of one day, he had nearly been burnt to death twice by similar terrifying flames. Even though he severed the connection immediately, he could still feel that soul-burning heat. If it werent for the Lords mighty blessing protecting him, would he be nothing but ashes now? Red Dragon, Alexilita... Ande simply couldnt understand. Why would the highest-ranking Dragon Origin Beast lend a hand to the humans and elves of the continent? Arent Origin Beasts and terrestrial creatures anathema to each other? And then there was that guy named Luo Xi. How did he manage to get involved with that high-ranking monarch-tier Red Dragon? Just because he was a Dragon Species Mutant Patient? Isnt that just bullshit? Huh~ A white flower fluttered down with the breeze onto Andes shoulder. Ande carelessly brushed the flower off. Its about time to head to that town of white flowers. The last time Archbishop Diitus from the Disaster Church mentioned seven days later. Not many days are left; best to go there and wait. Although yesterdays operation failed, it was just a casual move by the great Lord during his spare time. If it werent for those meddling dragons, he certainly could have delivered a perfect report. However, since he failed, he would continue with the original plan and proceed methodically. The Confused Mountain Range separates the east and west of the Pan Continent. There are four countries to the east, but to the west, there is only the Emerald Forest. If Emerald City could be taken down as a stronghold... A glint of light flashed across Andes monocle. ... Ismure Territory. Among the hills dotted with tiny white flowers. Traveling in haste these past few days, the grey-cloaked girl with a bird on her shoulder and grey eyes curiously surveyed the far-off city, which lacked walls, shielded only by a faint golden glow of blessing from a four-hundred-meter-tall Divine Tree. The lord of this land is named Ismure, with the bloodline of the Elf Royal Family. Its said that hes one of the rare lords who doesnt ostracize Mutant Patients and opens his city to Variants. No walls mean that even Mutation Syndrome patients can enter freely. The girl pulled down her cloak, revealing the fox ears atop her head, and her previously sharp elongated ears hidden under her hair were also transformed into human round ears. At a glance, no one would suspect she was from the Elf Clan. "Lets go, Grey," she said. "Chirp chirp!" sea??h th N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ... Reality. After having morning tea with Chen Momo, Luo Xi and Ai Xue chatted for a while before driving away from Wanxiang City. The full social release of "Dawn", though inevitable, had yet to reach Chen Momo, so it was better she remained unaware for now. Its heard that some countries outside were already descending into chaos. The incident with The Dark Void Tree yesterday, although resolved in the Dream World, caused a significant stir in reality. Many forces became aware of "Dawn" and the existence of the Dream World. "Senior, it seems Ive become famous too. It looks like they know I can shrink," said Ai Xue, browsing on her phone, finding comments about her and even someone claiming she was a "legal Lolita" they could knock down, concocting a little story where shes constantly harassed by the Black Death God. Luckily, none of her family had become players yet. Otherwise... Her face turned slightly red. Strangers were one thing, but if acquaintances knew, that would be total social death! Luo Xi comforted her, "Dont worry, with you beside me, there shouldnt be any foolish people who would bother you." "Im not worried about that..." Ai Xue whispered. "Senior, you promised to visit my house later, and both my parents are off work today. Ive already talked to them." Luo Xi: "..." He was somewhat panicked inside. Hed only just slept with her last night, and now he was about to meet her parents... Luo Xi checked for nearby tobacco and alcohol stores, saying, "Ill go buy some things." Ai Xue shook her head with a smile, "No need to buy anything. The trunk is full of high-end tobacco and alcohol. I had the staff put some in this morning." "Ah... but it feels insufficient with just tobacco and alcohol." "Its up to you, Senior. Isnt there a melon stand up ahead? How about buying a watermelon? My mom loves to eat melons." After driving a few dozen meters further, Luo Xi parked the car on the roadside. Ai Xue rolled down the window and asked, "Boss, how much for the melons?" The melon seller, a middle-aged man with pockmarks on his face, appeared somewhat fierce. "Two yuan per jin (catty)." Ai Xue frowned, "That expensive? Are these melons made of gold or what?" The seller spat out a mouthful of smoke and said, "Its almost November, where would you find melons? These are all greenhouse melons. If you think its expensive, I think its expensive too." "Are these melons ripe for sure?" "What do you think? Would I sell you unripe melons?" "Fine, pick one out for me." "Alrighty!" Ai Xue quickly paid and carried the watermelon into the car. Luo Xi: "..." For some reason, he felt that if that conversation had continued, the melon sellers life might have been in danger. Emerald Garden. Luo Xi drove to Ai Xues family villa. Ai Xues father was the chairman of a building materials company with a market value of billions and held more than half of the shares, while her mother was a professor at Haicheng Transportation University. Therefore, she truly was a rich young lady who grew up with a golden key in her mouth. Luo Xi looked at the pretty profile of the young girl. After three years of being pursued, he finally gave in; now that he thought about it, it would have been better to just give in from the beginning. Maybe he could have clung to the thighs of a rich woman for a few years and not had to eat dirt for three years... [Note: If that were the case, would you, crappy Traveler, still be who you are now?] Luo Xi smiled. Indeed. Why think so much? If he had given in to the rich young lady back then, when he later met Kitten Aina and the others, he probably wouldnt have such a deep relationship with them as he did now. [Note: Tsk, when all is said and done, you still harbor ill intentions towards those two sisters! Scumbag! Loli-con! A pervert who licks ice cream! ()!] Fxxk! Ill let the first few comments slide, but when did I actually lick ice cream! The damn text ignored him. Luo Xi got out of the car, picked up his things, and took a deep breath. Whats there to be afraid of? He had already met Kitten Ainas mother. Ai Xues parents were just ordinary people, what was there to be afraid of? Indeed, this meeting with the parents turned out to be extremely relaxed. Especially after Luo Xi revealed his enormous savings amounting to hundreds of millions and after listening to his not so great family background and his made-up story of striving for success. Ai Xues parents looked at him as if they had seen a top-notch, wealthy son-in-law. Such a young and wealthy man, Xiao Xue has great taste indeed! Father-in-law Ai Chen even poured Luo Xi a full bottle of baijiu. He had been worrying about who would inherit his company once he grew old. His only daughter didnt want to learn business management. After Luo Xi and Ai Xue got married, he could follow Ai Chen and do business, gradually handing the company over to him. It was one oclock in the afternoon. In Ai Xues room. Luo Xi and Ai Xue sat on the bed, each browsing their texts. Ai Xues mother Li Muxi insisted they stay over for the night. Luo Xi couldnt really refuse, so he agreed. After all, no matter where he was, it was all just playing game. There wasnt much difference. "Im heading to the Dream World." Luo Xi informed Ai Xue and then synced his consciousness over there. Ai Xue looked at Luo Xi, who had drifted off to sleep, and blinked. She had something she wanted to try out. In the morning, why did the text say that her Strength increased after she consumed pure Yuan Su? Could it be because she ingested something of her seniors? The girls pretty face flushed uncontrollably. Last night, she seemed to have been filled to the brim... Thinking of this, Ai Xue hurriedly scrolled up the texts notification history. [Ding! Due to ingestion of external pure Yuan Su, your Strength/Physique has increased by +1] As expected! Last night, she also had a notification about her Physique and Strength increasing, but she was indulging in a strange feeling at the time and completely missed it. As expected of senior! So... Ai Xue looked at Luo Xi, who was lying on the bed, licked her delicate lips, and her eyes carried a faint shyness. She wanted to become stronger! Senior, you should understand me, right? ... /// After entering the Dream World, Luo Xi immediately snapped his fingers in urgency, teleporting himself about ten meters away, dodging Dragon Mamas fierce pounce. Florecia obviously had been waiting for him here for a long time. She also seemed to realize that his body in the Dream World had three different states. Only at this moment, with the soul entering the body, was he in the most authentic state. However, after Dragon Lady realized Luo Xi had moved, her body accelerated in an instant, and she still managed to grab Luo Xi and press him into her embrace. "Mm" Luo Xis face was squeezed by something soft and white, and he felt pain mixed with pleasure. [Ding! Your Happiness Level +44] [Note: Wheres the pain? Its all pleasure!] Florecia rubbed Luo Xis head while complaining, "Little Luoxi you naughty child, how could you leave your mama alone here for so long, mama only has a three-day holiday, and one day is already gone, its already the afternoon, theres not much time left, shall we go out now?" Luo Xi struggled to breathe and could only make mm-hmm sounds. "Hehe, little Luoxi is the best." Dragon Mama happily continued to rub Luo Xis head. Just then, Aina ran over from the side (n) and said, "Ressia sister, let go of Brother Luo Xi, youre going to smother him!" Luo Xis heart warmed at that moment. Although Aina tended to be a bit yandere, she still cared about him the most. Florecias lips turned up slightly as she spoke, "How could I possibly suffocate my child, want to give it a try yourself, little one?" "Aina wants to try? But..." Aina looked at her own chest and gritted her teeth, "Alright, hand Luo Xi Brother over to me, since sister is a useless person, it will have to be Aina who does itow!" Weier angrily puffed up, "Stupid Aina, even if we combine our efforts, shell just mock us!" Chapter 394 - 280 Aina: Can rubbing make it bigger? Bathhouse Benefits Return_1 Chapter 394: Chapter 280 Aina: Can rubbing make it bigger? Bathhouse Benefits Return_1"Aina knows!" The Little Wolf Girl said with a grievance, "But we cant just let her look down on us like this, right?" Shes even bullying Brother Luo Xi right to his face. And shes deliberately mocking her as a little runt. Florecia, minus her Dragon Horns, is about the same height as Weier. This little runt - wherever that comes from - she could guess with her furless tail. Aina carefully glanced at her sisters flat chest. If only Sister Weier was half the size of Mama...forget it, theres no such if only in this world. Even though she herself is also pretty small now, she has just not developed yet. Aina felt that she should have quite the figure in the future. What Sister cant give Brother in the future, shell take on herself... Weier keenly noticed the direction of Ainas gaze, and several p appeared on her forehead. This little scheming sister who badmouths her own sister can be dispensed with! "Interesting." Florecia watched the interaction between the two sisters and suddenly laughed. The power that bound Luo Xis body slowly relaxed. She didnt quite understand. Even though she had long lost all sorts of human notions and feelings, why did she involuntarily smile with understanding when she saw such a scene? But, it was rather interesting. After all, spending her days guarding the ocean near the volcanic cluster was just too boring. A long life brings not only repetition but also loneliness. At the beginning, she also tried to let some humans live nearby, but clearly, this idea wasnt feasible. Entering a town normally was even more impossible. The main function of the Divine Trees Glory is to repel Origin Beasts, naturally including dragons. These few days of vacation did allow her to re-experience human emotions. Unfortunately, after tomorrow, she would have to return. "Ha!" Once Florecia let go, Luo Xi sat on the ground, still feeling a bit dizzy. [Ding! Your Happiness Level +33] Cleansers and such are nice. But its better with the Dragon Mama who doesnt mind stuffing people in aggressively. Its just too easy to suffocate someone, especially when one of her fingers is stronger than your whole body. "Brother Luo Xi!" Aina decisively threw herself into Luo Xis arms. If she were any slower, perhaps this dragon girl would monopolize Brother again. Sniff, sniff Aina nuzzled Luo Xis clothes with her little nose. Hmph, they all smell like that dragon lady, its so unpleasant. Originally, Brother Luo Xis scent should be that of her and Sisters. Weier approached and sat next to Luo Xi, asking softly, "Are you alright over there?" "Hmm... almost." Luo Xi knew Weier was asking whether there was any danger on his side, but thinking about how he was still at Ai Xues house and had just done that thing last night, he suddenly felt a bit guilty. But there shouldnt be anything abnormal with his body in this world. Its not a big problem. Weier suddenly whispered, "Pervert, are you really going to take her to your world?" Aina also perked up her wolf ears. Both of them cared about this. Originally, the cradle and nest were exclusive to them, allowing them to go to that world to eat and play, but now that there is another person to share, who would like it? Luo Xi fell silent for a moment. He looked up at the dragon-horned girl, who was watching him with tender eyes from a few meters away, and rubbed Ainas head in his arms, saying, "I promised her, sorry." Even though they had only spent a few days together, this dragon lady, who claimed to be his mother, had already made a deep impression on him. She had given him many precious things. What she wanted in return was just to have him accompany her out to play for a bit. The disproportionate contribution from her and the repayment she longed for seemed indeed like a kind of mothers love. "Why apologize?" Weiers pale-red eyes blinked slightly, and she smiled, "If youve promised, then go ahead and do it. Aina and I didnt say anything, and besides, didnt she say that she would be leaving after tomorrow?" Aina looked at her sister, who appeared more open-hearted, with some surprise. "Sister, youve changed." Weier said indifferently, "Youve grown up too, Aina. From the timid little girl who used to hide in the corner to the lovestruck girl you are now, its all because of this young man holding her. I am the same. From being a lone wolf to now feeling a bit uneasy whenever I cant see him for a moment. I like this emotion, although I havent said it out loud, the feelings in my heart cant deceive me. Luckily, Aina and I are inseparable. Otherwise, if we really started competing for jealousy like sisters... Mama would laugh her head off, no, she would be sad, right? [Note: Sisterly rivalry at Xiu Luo Field, its hot stuff; I want to watch (???)~] Luo Xi: "???" Weier slowly stood up, then hugged Luo Xi from behind, her soft but not large part touching his body. [Ding! Your Happiness Level +66] Cat Cat rested her delicate chin on Luo Xis shoulder, her tail slowly stretching forward, looping around Luo Xis chest, and then returning to the girls hand. Weier whispered, "Once she gets over there, Aina and I wont be able to do much, so you need to take care of yourself." "Pervert, no matter what, please remember, the first ones you met in this world were us." Luo Xi gently touched the tail that Cat Cat was winding around his waist. The girl holding him from behind trembled slightly but made no further move. Aina, not to be outdone, pushed her own tail forward. Sister Weier is seizing the chance to brush up her favorability in Brothers heart! She cant lose out. Luo Xi felt Ainas tail pressed against him and thought something was wrong, glanced at it, then asked in astonishment, "What happened to your tail, Aina?" He noticed that Ainas tail seemed to have gone through some ravaging. That pitiful appearance, with the inner flesh exposed, reminded Luo Xi of the mangy dogs tail he saw on the way to school when he was in elementary school... Ainas tail also shrank back in an instant. Oh, I forgot, a lot of the fur on my tail has been burned. She can no longer bring happiness to Brother now. "Brother Luo Xi, first pet Ainas head and ears, if thats not enough, massaging Ainas chest is also okay. Aina heard that it will grow bigger if you massage it often. Weier has already been wasted, so to prevent our sisters from being looked down upon by others, Aina must grow up quickly," the Little Wolf Girl said seriously. Sarch* The NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Luo Xi: "..." [Note: Garbage Traveler, hurry up and help the Little Wolf Girl develop~] Goddamn help her develop! Before Luo Xi could speak, Weier directly raised her hand and knocked on Ainas head. "What are you talking about!" "Sister just cant accept the truth." "Who cant accept it! I, I still have a chance to grow!" SlapSlap With the approach of footsteps, the two sisters stopped their argument and, together with Luo Xi, looked over at the approaching Dragon Lady. Florecia watched the three of them huddled together. For some reason, she felt a small tinge of envy in her heart. She and Little Luo Xi had never been so close, had they? When would she be able to snuggle up with Little Luo Xi? Florecia squatted down, her clean white gown dragging on the ground, and its whiter and softer elasticity made the three of them somewhat dizzy. Weier tightened her tail that was wrapped around Luo Xis chest a little more. The Dragon Horn girl smiled and said, "Were you discussing my visit to Little Luo Xis world?" Weier nodded: "Yes." "Have you all been there yet?" "Mhm, that thing seems to be usable tonight." "Can you come back at will?" "It seems... not possible?" Weier remembered that after triggering that cradle, she could not casually return from Luo Xis world within twelve hours. Of course, what would happen if she committed suicide, she did not know. "How about tomorrow then?" Florecia shook her head: "People from Noahs church might come over early tomorrow, and it would be troublesome if I cant return in time." Luo Xi nodded in agreement. Archbishop, just the title sounded formidable, and his strength was probably not to be underestimated. If Florecia couldnt take action, they could only consider running away. The Dragon Horn girl squinted her eyes like a fox: "So today, how about we take a stroll nearby? This town seems to have many interesting places, and mama really wants to walk around everywhere with Little Luo Xi." Luo Xi silently nodded. He couldnt refuse Dragon Mamas request like this. "Right, theres also the Hollow Flowers, there seem to be some fossils nearby, and mama wants to take you to see them." Nearby? The closest ones are seven or eight hundred kilometers away... Right, for Florecia, distances of a few thousand kilometers could be crossed in just a few minutes, so it did indeed count as nearby. Luo Xi nodded again. He had a mission to unlock the Hollow Flowers anyway. Before, because of the distance problem, he could not freely run to a place to unlock, but now with Florecias help, he could save a lot of time. "Then, lets first accompany mama on a stroll through this town," Florecia said, pulling Luo Xi without any discussion, and heading outside in the face of the dissatisfied looks from the two sisters. Weier and Aina could only immediately follow. Both felt like something important had been snatched away from them. But there was no way around it. Who would have thought that Dragon Lady was so strong? Luckily, she would leave after tomorrow... Belgri Prison. This was an underground prison built near the estate, detaining some wrongdoers who were incorrigible. Luo Xis mouth twitched as he looked at the filthy surroundings. How did this casual stroll lead us to a place like this? "You guys better release me, my father is the City Owner of the City of Yuye! Youll suffer if youve captured me!" "Ariana, keep your voice down." Two ragged silver-haired Elves were locked in a cramped space, with handcuffs sealing their Yuan Su powers, chaining their hands together. "Elves?" Luo Xi almost forgot about the two useless Elves Weier had brought back. Florecia glanced at them and said, "Speaking of which, I sensed the scent of Elves, so you brought these two female Elves back. Their strength is only Third-tier, why did you bring them back?" Weier said from the side: "I brought them back, I thought Luo Xi might need them... after all, they are Species of Longevity." Florecia considered for a moment and said: "True, with those two leading the way, it would be much easier for you to enter the Elf cities." "Leading the way? Like we would help you humans" The words of the two useless Elves were abruptly cut off. The Dragon Ladys radiant crimson eyes fixed on them. Ariana thought fearfully, shes the one who sent Father Lord flying... Eventually, the two Elves signed a servitude contract that Luo Xi offered. In short, even if they were to become fluffy toys, they had to obey. The power of the Belgri Tree was not something they could defy. The two Elves stared blankly at the retreating figures. Emei sobbed, "Ariana, we might never be able to return." Ariana also began to cry. She didnt want to bear the children of humans! ... Thirty minutes later. A large bathhouse filled with steam. Luo Xi looked bewildered at Aina, who had already stripped off her clothes and was eagerly bubbling away in the water. There was also the Cat Cat changing her clothes. And the curious Dragon Mama pacing around. Is this some sort of bathhouse benefit episode? [Ding! Your body in the original world has lost 1% of its Physical Strength, this is normal.] [Ding! Your Happiness Level +88] [Note: Its a sex party combo!] Chapter 395 - 280: Aina wants to grow up there, Return of the Lolitas to the Bathhouse_1 Chapter 395: Chapter 280: Aina wants to grow up there, Return of the Lolitas to the Bathhouse_1(Refresh the page to replace this text.) Emerald Forest, Laurel City. The blond youth paid for his stay at the inn, adjusted the monocular eyeglass over his left eye, and limped towards the outskirts of the city. His eyes were bloodshot and filled with deep fear. In the span of a day, he nearly got burnt to death twice by similar horrific flames. Even though he cut off the connection immediately, he could still feel the intense heat that seemed to burn his soul. If it wasnt for the "masters" mighty blessing that had protected him, would he even have anything left now? Red Dragon, Alexilita... Ande just couldnt understand. As a high-level Dragon Origin Beast, why would it help the humans and elves of the continent? Arent Origin Beasts and terrestrial creatures supposed to be incompatible like fire and water? And that guy called Luo Xi. How did he hook up with that high-ranking king-level Red Dragon? Just because he was a patient with Dragon Species Mutation Syndrome? Isnt that bullshit? Hu~ A white flower drifted in the wind and landed on Andes shoulder. Ande nonchalantly brushed off the flower. It was about time to head to that town of white flowers. Last time, the Archbishop Diitus of the Disaster Church said it would be seven days later. Not many days left, better go there and wait. Although yesterdays operation failed, it was just a casual move made by the great "master" in his spare time. If it werent for those meddling dragons, he would have certainly delivered a perfect report. But since it had failed, it was time to proceed with the original plan and advance methodically. The Confused Mountain Range separated the eastern and western parts of the Pan Continent; the east had four countries, while in the west, there was only Emerald Forest. If he could take down Emerald City and make it a stronghold... A flash of light glinted across the lens of Andes monocular. ... Ismure Territory. On a hillside dotted with little white flowers. A girl who had been traveling for several days, with a small bird resting on her shoulder and wrapped in a grey cloak, curiously gazed at the distant city, which had no walls, only the faint golden glow of protection emanating from a 400-meter tall Divine Tree. The Lords name here was Ismure, and he had the blood of the Elf Royal Family. It was said that he did not shun those with Mutation Syndrome, and he was one of the few Lords who opened his city to Variants. No walls meant that even Mutant Patients could enter freely. The girl pulled down her hood, boldly revealing the fox ears on her head, and her previously pointed, long ears hidden beneath her hair turned into the round ears of humans. At first glance, no one would think she was from the Elf Clan. "Huihui, lets go." "Chirp chirp!" ... Reality. After having morning tea with Chen Momo, Luo Xi and Ai Xue chatted for a while before driving away from Wanxiang City. Although it was only a matter of time before "Dawn" would be revealed to the whole society, Chen Momo hadnt come into contact with it yet, so it was better to keep her unaware for the time being. Some countries were reportedly in chaos already. The commotion caused by The Dark Void Tree in the Dream World the day before wasnt minor in reality, as many powers had become aware of the existence of "Dawn" and the Dream World. "Senior, it seems like Ive become famous too. They seem to know that I can shrink." Ai Xue browsed her phone, reading comments about her on the forums, and even saw people calling her a legal Lolita that could be pursued romantically, and some had written a little story about her being daily tormented by the Black Death God in bed. Thankfully, none of her family members had become players yet. Otherwise... The young girls cheeks turned slightly red. It was one thing with strangers, but if acquaintances found out, that would surely be social death! Luo Xi reassured her, "Dont worry, as long as you stay by my side, there probably wont be any blind people who will come to disturb you." "Im not worried about that..." Ai Xue whispered, "Senior, remember, were going to my place later. My parents arent working today, and Ive already told them about it." Luo Xi: "..." He was feeling a bit panicky inside. He had just slept with their daughter last night, and now he was going to meet her parents... Luo Xi checked the nearby locations for tobacco and alcohol stores and said, "I need to buy something." Ai Xue shook her head with a smile, "No need to buy, theres a bunch of high-end tobacco and alcohol in the trunk. I had staff put some in this morning." "Well... having only tobacco and alcohol doesnt seem enough." "Up to you, Senior. There seems to be a fruit stand ahead. How about buying a watermelon? My mom loves melons." A few dozen meters ahead, Luo Xi parked the car by the roadside. Ai Xue opened the car window and asked, "Boss, how much for the melons?" The melon seller was a middle-aged man with a face full of acne scars, giving off a somewhat fierce appearance. "Two yuan per jin (catty)." Ai Xue raised an eyebrow, "That expensive? Are these melons made of gold or what?" The boss exhaled a puff of smoke, "Its almost November, where would you find melons now? These are all greenhouse melons, if you find them expensive, so do I." "Are these melons guaranteed ripe?" "What do you think? Could I possibly sell you unripe fruits?" "Alright, then. Pick one out for me." "Okay!" Ai Xue paid deftly and cradled the watermelon into the car. Luo Xi: "..." For some reason, he felt that if that conversation had continued, the life of the melon seller might have been at risk. Shuijing (Water Mirror) Garden. Luo Xi drove the car to Ai Xues family villa. Ai Xues father was the chairman of a building materials company worth several billion, holding more than half the shares, while her mother was a professor at Haicheng Transportation University, so indeed, she was a bona fide heiress, born with a golden key. Luo Xi observed the girls lovely profile. After three years of being pursued by her, he had finally accepted her. In hindsight, he might as well have given in from the start. Perhaps then he could have enjoyed a few more years of luxury living, instead of eating dirt for three years... Note: If that were the case, would you, trash Traveler, still be who you are now? Luo Xi smiled. Indeed. What was he overthinking for? If he had surrendered to the wealthy girl back then, he probably wouldnt have such a deep relationship with Kitten Aina and the others when they met again. [Note: Tsk, after all, you have designs on those two sisters! Scumbag! Loli-con! Pervert who licks ice cream! ()!] Fxxk! The first few I can ignore, but when have I ever really licked ice cream! The damn text ignored him. Luo Xi got out of the car, picked up his things, and took a deep breath. Whats there to be afraid of? He had already met Kittens mother. Ai Xues parents were just ordinary people; what did he have to be afraid of? Indeed, this meeting with the parents turned out to be very relaxed. Especially after Luo Xi showed off his savings account, which amounted to hundreds of millions, and after they listened to his not-so-fortunate family background and the fabricated story of his struggles. Ai Xues parents looked at him as if they had found a superb son-in-law. Such a young man with so much wealth, Xiao Xue has good taste indeed! Father-in-law Ai Chen even poured Luo Xi a full bottle of white wine. He had been worried about who would take over the company after growing old. His only daughter had no desire to learn company management. After marrying Ai Xue, Luo Xi could totally take part in the business, allowing him to gradually hand over the company to him. One oclock in the afternoon. In Ai Xues room. Luo Xi and Ai Xue sat on the bed, each scrolling through their texts. Mother Li Muxi had insisted they must stay here for one night, Luo Xi couldnt refuse any longer, so he agreed. After all, whether he went anywhere else, he would be playing the game, so it made no difference. "Im going over to the Dream World," Luo Xi said to Ai Xue, and then synced his consciousness over there. Ai Xue looked at the sleeping Luo Xi and blinked. She had something she wanted to experiment with. In the morning, why did the text say that her strength increased after she absorbed the pure Yuan Su? Could it be because she swallowed... his stuff? The girls pretty face uncontrollably blushed red. Last night, it felt as though she was filled to the brim... Ai Xue hastily scrolled up the text for a prompt. [Ding! Due to the absorption of an external pure Yuan Su, your strength/physique +1] As expected! She had received the same notices about the increase in strength and physique last night, but she was so engulfed in the unusual feeling that she hadnt noticed. You are indeed amazing, senior! So... Ai Xue looked towards Luo Xi lying on the bed, licked her tender lips, her eyes shimmering with a shy light. She wanted to become stronger! Senior, you should understand me, right? ... /// After entering the Dream World, Luo Xi snapped his fingers urgently, moving himself ten meters away with a teleportation to dodge the pouncing Dragon Mama. Florecia clearly had been waiting there for him for quite some time. She seemed to also be aware that his body in the Dream World existed in three different states. S~ea??h the ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Only at this moment, when his soul entered the shell, was he in the most genuine state. However, upon realizing Luo Xi had moved away, the Dragon Lady accelerated instantly and still managed to embrace Luo Xi, burying him in her bosom. "Mmm" Luo Xis face was squished by the soft whiteness, in pain yet happy. [Ding! Your Happiness Level +44] [Note: What pain? Its all happiness, isnt it!] Florecia rubbed Luo Xis head, complaining, "Little Luoxi, you naughty child, how could you bear to leave Mama alone here for so long? Mama only has a three-day break, and one day was already gone yesterday. Now its already the afternoon, and there isnt much time left. Shall we go out now?" Luo Xi, struggling to breathe, could only manage to groan in acknowledgment. "Hehe, Little Luoxi is the best," the Dragon Mama said, content as she continued to rub his head. Then, Aina came running from the side (n), "Laurecia, let go of big brother, Brother Luo Xi is going to get smothered to death by you!" Luo Xi instantly felt a surge of emotion in his heart. Although Aina had a yandere tendency, she still cared for him the most. Florecias lips curved slightly, saying, "How could I possibly smother my child to death? Why dont you try?" "Should Aina try? But..." Aina glanced at her chest and said through gritted teeth, "Fine, hand Brother Luo Xi over to me. Since big sister is useless, it will have to be Aina whoow, that hurts!" Then, Aina came running from the side (n), "Laurecia, let go of big brother, Brother Luo Xi is going to get smothered to death by you!" Luo Xi instantly felt a surge of emotion in his heart. Although Aina had a yandere tendency, she still cared for him the most. Florecias lips curved slightly, saying, "How could I possibly smother my child to death? Why dont you try?" "Should Aina try?

Chapter 396 - 281: Juice Princess and Dragon Mama’s Admiration?_1 Chapter 396: Chapter 281: Juice Princess and Dragon Mamas Admiration?_1Luo Xi: "?" Why was his physical strength mysteriously draining away while he lay in bed in reality? With his current body strength, let alone sleeping, he could run ten kilometers without even getting out of breath. This 1% loss of physical strength was actually quite a lot. "Whats the matter, Little Luo Xi?" Several strands of red hair fell before Luo Xis eyes as Florecia, barefoot and running around the bathhouse, curiously brought her face close to his. The steam had unknowingly moistened her white dress, clinging to her full, snowy whiteness, filled with a tempting aroma. This time, it was Florecia who had brought them to the bathhouse. Luo Xi wasnt clear as to why she wanted to experience the human way of bathing. Because she didnt need to bathe at all; whether in dragon form or in human guise, the high heat of the flames was the best way to cleanse any impurity. Luo Xi whispered, "Its nothing, Ill go back for a bit and come back soon." Although the text indicated there was no imminent danger, it didnt mean there was no danger at all. He had to go check it out. [Do you wish to exit the synchronized state?] [Yes] The glimmer of consciousness in the young mans eyes slowly faded. Weier, wearing a loose bathrobe, came over in slippers and glanced at Luo Xi, who had a stunned expression on his face. "Did he leave again?" "Yes." Florecia looked at Luo Xis face with affection and said, "Having to travel between two worlds every day, how exhausting it must be, my poor child." Weier: "..." She was almost clear on Luo Xi and otherworldly travelers like him, on how they came over. sea??h th ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Where did this talk of exhaustion come from? Aina, who was already soaking in the bath, stood up causing a great splash of water and waved to Weier: "Sister Weier, wont you join us? The hot water is so comfortable, and call Brother Luo Xi over too." Weier glanced at Florecia, then sat down by the edge of the bath, dipping her two slender legs into the water, and said: "He went back. I wont wash my body, just soaking my legs is enough." "Huh?" Aina made a disgusted face and pouted, "Then wouldnt I be drinking the water you used to wash your feet?" Slap! Weier deliberately splashed water onto Ainas face and then smiled triumphantly: "Dare to disdain your sister? Youll have to drink it even if you dont want to." The Little Wolf Girl wiped her face, pretending to vomit and leaned closer, (d????) said, "Ew, Sister, it smells bad." Weier immediately got anxious: "Nonsense! It doesnt smell at all!" "Ehehe~ Come on down, Sister!" "Aina, where are you grabbing?!" Weier, who wasnt planning on getting into the water, was suddenly grabbed by Aina by her tail and ankle and pulled down. Splash! A clear sound of falling into the water followed. Then there was the bubbling noise and Weiers curse. Florecia watched calmly from not far away, some baffled emotions deep in her eyes. It seemed that, a long time ago, she had also had such experiences; the misty steam, people arguing with each other, fluctuating lights... The power of time is terrible. It can make people forget everything. After suppressing Aina, Weier threw her wet bathrobe aside, then shouted to Florecia, "Miss Ressia, wasnt the bathhouse your idea? Arent you going to bathe?" "I just wanted to come and see." Florecia smiled and said, "If I were to get into the water, and my strength were slightly uncontrollable, the water would instantly boil." Weier: "...." Better not, then. She didnt want to end up boiled into soup along with Aina. As for what could possibly be happening with that pervert Luo Xi at this time... Given his nature, the feeling that something was amiss just by glancing over it made her uneasy. [Note: After all, the Trash Traveler stated that theres something more exciting going on over there~] ... Luo Xis eyes fluttered open slightly. As soon as his bodys sensations returned, he immediately felt a chill and stickiness in his lower body, blown by the air conditioner, and it was wet too. No, where are my pants? Luo Xi sat up and met Ai Xues flustered and shy gaze as she was crouching down to clean up with tissues. "Ah! Senior!" Ai Xue was startled by Luo Xi as well. She thought it would be a while before Senior recovered. Why so sudden? "Senior, I wasnt sneaking a taste, I mean, I only had a little." The girls face flushed, she averted her eyes, covering her fresh red lips with her little hand, and on her alluring face, traces of creamy white were still visible. Luo Xi: "..." There was no need to ask what had happened. It was blatantly obvious what the girl had done. He suddenly felt that his decision not to accept Ai Xues confession was indeed the right one. Who could withstand such a level of juice extractor! He had only been synchronized to the Dream World for about an hour, and Ai Xue couldnt help but stealthily extract him once. If there hadnt been a prompt in the text, he might not have noticed upon his return. But was Ai Xue really that... thirsty? Before last night, she was still an innocent girl who, aside from theoretical knowledge, knew nothing about such matters. "Senior, its like this..." Ai Xue, noticing the weird look in Luo Xis eyes and knowing what he was thinking, explained her reason for doing it. Luo Xi listened, somewhat dumbfounded. My that can increase Ai Xues physique and strength? What kind of bizarre heroic storyline is this? Could this world be some kind of adult anime world? [Note: Since the blood and saliva of Dragon Mama have such powerful effects for you, it is then reasonable, Trash Traveler, that since youre a young Male Dragon who is not fully grown, that thing of yours would enhance physique and strength, right?] Chapter 397 - 281: Juice Princess and Dragon Mama’s Admiration?_2 Chapter 397: Chapter 281: Juice Princess and Dragon Mamas Admiration?_2Luo Xi: "..." So, besides that, do my own blood and saliva have any effect? "Senior, I want to become stronger!" Ai Xue bit her lip and said softly, "It seems like the opportunities available to me over there have reached their limits, but I still cant leave that city. I need more strength." "So..." The girl looked at Luo Xi with hopeful eyes. Luo Xi couldnt resist such a gaze and nodded with difficulty. Ai Xue immediately cheered up. The girl licked her lips, tasting the strange flavor in her mouth, thinking that although it wasnt very tasty, the speed of getting stronger was visible to the naked eye, which made it worthwhile. And it wasnt necessary to eat like that either. "Also, Senior, my mom wants us to stay over tonight, but what if my body shrinks?" Ai Xue worried. She still didnt want her family to be exposed to this world that, although full of opportunities, was also filled with danger. Luo Xi pulled up his pants and propped his chin in his hand, saying, "How about we leave before sunset and come back after theyve gone to sleep at night?" "Leave now?" "Leaving before dinner would be a bit impolite, wouldnt it?" "Then why not just get a room outside?" "Also...okay." .... Luo Xis consciousness returned to his body in the Dream World. His mind was still a bit groggy. Ai Xue, a girl who seemed so gentle and weak, was actually that... No wonder they say when a girl takes the initiative, boys have nothing to do with it. "Little Luo Xi?" Florecia walked up to Luo Xi, smiled, and said, "Did you finish what you had to do over there?" "Mhm..." "Then would you like to bathe with Mama?" Luo Xi: "???" "If you dont speak, Mama will take that as a yes." Florecia grabbed Luo Xi and in an instant, they were next to another vacant pool in the bathhouse; she threw him in, causing a massive splash. Florecia herself also dove into the pool, her brilliant red hair floating on the surface like flames. Weier and Aina were stunned. Didnt you say that if you got in the water, it might boil? So that was just an excuse! How could someone be so shameless! Aina whispered, "Weier, sister, should we join them?" Cat Cat hugged her own leg, her light red eyes looking at the steam rising from the pool, and turned her head away, saying, "Forget it, let them play. I dont care." Aina, holding her long cat tail in her hand, smirked and said, "Sister, your tail is very tense." "Dont pull it randomly!" Elsewhere, Luo Xi, pressed underwater by Dragon Mama, had become numb. There were no dreamy scenes like one might imagine. Just a helpless youth being tossed around like a toy by a powerful Dragon Lady. This eight-thousand-year-old Dragon Lady even found bathing humans curious! Luo Xi felt like his skin was going to be scrubbed off. [Note: A little curiosity from Dragon Mama, whats the harm in satisfying it~] Easy for you to say! Half an hour later, Luo Xi, who emerged from the bathing area, saw Weier and Aina sisters in bathrobes. His nose tingled with the urge to cry. Aina, seemingly touched, opened her arms and said gently, "Brother Luo Xi, come here, Aina will never look down on you." And so Luo Xi just went with it... Cat Cat came up and kicked Luo Xi away, (n) saying, "What do you think youre doing to Aina? Do I not exist?!" Then, Weier watched as Luo Xi lay in the arms of the Dragon Horn girl who emerged from the pool, her despair-inducing softness cradling the youths head. Aina gave Weier a ??? look. So, Sisters trying to hold back Aina, thinking shell regret it after Brother gets snatched by another girl? Only this strange Dragon Lady, who claimed to be Brothers Mama, didnt seem to have any real intentions of monopolizing Brother. Otherwise, its likely that the two sisters would only be able to watch from the sidelines. Weier pursed her lips lightly. She was filled with regret, wishing she had swayed that guy to her side just now. Why did she kick him away so vehemently? But now it was too late... "Take him to get dressed, and afterward, well take a stroll outside the town. Would you like to join us?" With a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, Florecia pushed Luo Xi back toward Weier. Cat Cat was startled, catching the woozy Luo Xi. What did she mean by this? Could it be that the Red Dragon intended to take them out together? Weier had thought she only wanted to take Luo Xi by himself. "For Little Luo Xi, you are very important people." The Dragon Ladys crimson-gold vertical pupils shone brightly as she softly said, "So, cherish this time." "Of course we will!" Weier replied without hesitation. Aina nodded along behind her sister. She sniffed subtly. This time, Florecia had deliberately suppressed her Dragon Prestige. For the first time, Aina caught a whiff of her scent. Every word from this Dragon Lady seemed to be sincere. Suddenly, Aina asked, "Sister Ressia, do you really only see Brother Luo Xi as a child?" Florecia was taken aback. "I suppose so." Aina blinked cutely. It seemed to be true. But why did she add suppose? Such an uncertain tone. Did it indicate that even she herself was unclear about her true feelings? ... Shining City. Noah Church. Within the grand church cathedral, Archbishop Xius Virelli, dressed in gold-embroidered white robes, furrowed his brows tightly upon hearing the report from the church members sent to find Luca. How could someone dare to keep the envoy of the Noah Church waiting outside? And could it be true that Luca had indeed died? The continent-wide incident that had occurred the day before was strange; many high-ranking bishops sent out were returning prematurely, losing sight of their targets during the cleanup. Lucas situation should have been the same. But he was yet to return. The church member below continued to report, "At the site, there were signs of a battle, with remnants of a profoundly powerful Yuan Su. Its very possible that Lord Luca..." Xius interrupted in a cold voice, "Enough, Ill go take a look myself right now. Luca might be a little lecherous, but hes one of our bishops. Ill see who is so audacious!" "The honor of the Noah Church is inviolable!" Sar?h the n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The church member said hesitantly, "Your Excellency Xius, I told them you would be there at 10 a.m. tomorrow, not today. You should also discuss this with the other archbishops and the Pope before" "Hmm?" Xius gazed at his face, making him break out in cold sweat. "Lord, as you wish!" ... [Ding! You have unlocked a Hollow Flower, now marked as 02] [Ding! You have unlocked a Hollow Flower, now marked as 03] The red-colored Red Dragon, guiding Luo Xi and Wei Er Ainuo, followed the map given by Liya previously that marked the locations of Hollow Flowers, unlocking them by touch. Perhaps because Luo Xi carried the complete "OriginVoid," he no longer needed to wait for a specific time to unlock the Hollow Flowers; he could instantly restore them with a mere touch. [Ding! Traveler, you have unlocked ten Hollow Flowers] [Ding! Personal mission: The Revival of the Hollow Flowers has reached a milestone] [Ding!

At the dinner table, while picking up vegetables, Luo Xi paused slightly. [Would you like to retrieve it?] [Yes] A white seed the size of a marble appeared in Luo Xis hand. [Would you like to separate it?] [No] [Friendly reminder: The spatial rules of the two worlds are different. The current Hollow Flower can only be planted in the Dream world. If planted in the world where you, the Traveler, reside, it will have no effect.] Ai Xues mother, who was nearby, saw Luo Xi fall into a daze and immediately picked up a piece of braised pork for him, smiling gently, "Xiao Luo, eat more tonight. These are Aunties specialty dishes. Xiao Xue has grown up eating them, and the taste is absolutely top-notch." Ai Xue pouted and cooed, "Mom, youre not serving me; youre so biased." Sarch* The N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Li Muxi couldnt help but laugh, "Dont you have your own hands? Besides, you seem to be very happy. Why dont you tell us how you two met? Your father and I really want to know." "Hehe~ thats a long story. Theres no harm in telling it later." "Hey, still keeping secrets, you sly one." "Humph." "Delicious." Luo Xi put the initial seed in his pocket and smiled, "Aunties cooking is indeed excellent, like that of a five-star hotel chef." Li Muxi smiled so broadly she couldnt close her mouth, "Luo Xi, you really have a sweet mouth. Is that how you sweet-talked Xiao Xue into being with you?" Luo Xi gave an embarrassed smile. Ding-dong Ai Chen looked up and said, "Xiao Xue, go and open the door, it must be Heart Moon." "Ah? Why has Sister Heart Moon come? Isnt she studying abroad?" Ai Xue immediately got up, ran to the door, and opened it. Standing outside was a tall woman dressed in a fashionable crop top and miniskirt, with quite striking looks. Ai Xue exclaimed with surprise, "Sister Heart Moon!" Ai Xin Yue was Ai Xues cousin, and the two had been very close since childhood. However, Ai Xin Yue went overseas to study when Ai Xue entered university, making it difficult for them to meet in person. They stayed in touch occasionally by message and phone calls. "Xiao Xue, long time no see." Ai Xin Yue, carrying a basket of goods, stepped inside. She looked at Ai Xue and raised her eyebrows, "I just arrived at Haicheng Airport this noon. Initially, I wanted to surprise you all, but when I saw your moms friend circle mentioning youve got a boyfriend, I came straight over. Let Sister have a look at your boyfriend." Ai Xue pointed inside and laughed, "Feel free to look. The senior is still inside eating." Ai Xin Yue set down her things and walked in, immediately spotting Luo Xi and Ai Xues parents in the dining room. "Auntie, Uncle, Im here!" Ai Chen nodded with a gentle tone, "Come and have dinner." "Hey, Heart Moon, what a coincidence." Li Muxi said to Luo Xi with a smile, "She is Xiao Xues cousin, Ai Xin Yue. They are really close." Luo Xi nodded slightly at the woman, chuckling, "Hello Sister Heart Moon, Im Luo Xi, Xiao Xues boyfriend." "Luo Xi..." Ai Xin Yue looked at Luo Xi, frowning slightly. Why does this mans face seem somewhat familiar to her? Where had she seen it before? Behind her, Ai Xue pushed her and said, "Sister Heart Moon, what are you standing around for? Come eat first." "Um..." Ai Xin Yue took a seat on the stool next to Ai Xue. She took out her phone and opened one of her Line groups. Abroad, the control of information regarding "Dawn" and the Dream world is not as strict as it is in Xia country. After all, many players hidden among the population are undiscovered, spreading the knowledge of "Dawn" among the common folks. Some of this information still makes its way to the general public. Ai Xin Yue was dragged into such a group after an academic seminar. The people inside discussed various equipment, paths to Sublimation, Transcendent strength, and rankings of the current global powerhouses. She had always thought of it as a simple gaming group and only occasionally glanced at it to see those people being overly dramatic, adding a bit of fun to her mundane life. The last time she checked this group was three days ago. As soon as Ai Xin Yue entered, she noticed a pinned message at the top. [Black Death God, the latest information on Luo Xi] [Luo Xi: Xia country national/24 years old/male] [Known information Currently residing in Haicheng, Xia country. A Dragon Species of Mutated Transcenders. Tier unknown. Possesses epic-level high-grade equipment and golden-level legendary talents.] [Known information Once fought against two beings listed on the Black Danger Level List, namely the "Trickster Magician" and the "Purple Flame Camel Lion", single-handedly defeating them with overwhelming might, revealing his terrifying strength.] [Known information In the Dreamland, he has what seems to be a king-tier Red Dragon Origin Beast as a mount. The Red Dragon can also transform into a human form, resembling an adorable busty red-haired Little Lolita (Envy!)] [Known information During college, had a deep relationship with his junior, Ai Xue, who is believed to be affected by her talents or abilities, causing her body to shrink during certain periods.] [Dangerous Level: Black 01 (Currently the strongest Dreamland Traveler globally. It is highly discouraged for any hunter to attempt to hunt him down, as there is a 99.9% chance of being counter-killed, or perhaps one could try seducing him with a Loli-con assassin?)] Ai Xin Yue: "???" She clicked on the profile picture in the message to take a look. Then she compared it to Luo Xi sitting beside her. They were identical! It was the same Luo Xi, only with a hat, whereas the Luo Xi in the photo had a pair of unusual Dragon Horns on his head. Chapter 399 - 282 The Lolita-traveler was recognized by his sister, Spark’s recovery journey_2 Chapter 399: Chapter 282 The Lolita-traveler was recognized by his sister, Sparks recovery journey_2What could possibly be under this hat? [Ding! Ai Xin Yues Shock Value towards you +66] Luo Xi: "?" Whats the deal with Ai Xues cousin? What are you so shocked about? Sarch* The Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Ai Xue called out with some confusion, "Sister Heart Moon?" Ai Xin Yue forced a smile, "Xiao Xue, your boyfriend is really handsome." Ai Xue happily squinted her eyes, "Thats right, senior can live off his looks alone!" If senior wasnt a heinous loli-con, probably he would have lost his virginity before even getting to know him during the volunteer activity in his freshman year of college. He might have lost it during his high school days. Hmm? Thinking of it like that, its actually great that senior is a loli-con! After dinner, Ai Xin Yue was somewhat absentminded while chatting with a few people at the table, frequently checking her phone, and then excused herself to find an outlet to charge her phone, running into Ai Xues room. Luo Xi asked quietly, "Whats with your cousin?" Ai Xue shook her head, "I dont know, Sister Heart Moon wasnt like this before, she seems a bit off today..." Luo Xi seemed thoughtful. Within the pink bedroom. Ai Xin Yue carefully examined the files in the group chat. "Dawn", Transcendent, two internal tests, The Dark Void Tree... There were also photos of Ai Xue after she shrank. That youthful appearance was like hers ten years ago, when the two of them were inseparable sisters, and Ai Xin Yue could tell at a glance that it was Ai Xue. What in the world is going on? Ai Xin Yue felt lost. She felt her worldview was collapsing. Squeak The door opened. Luo Xi and Ai Xue walked in and closed the door behind them. Ai Xin Yue glanced at Ai Xue and said with bitten lips, "Xiao Xue, get away from this man; hes dangerous." Ai Xue shook her head and said solemnly, "Sister Heart Moon, I cant go back now." Ai Xin Yue: "!" Luo Xi curiously asked, "Do you already know everything?" Ai Xin Yue immediately asked nervously in return, "Know? Know what? What are you talking about?" Luo Xi calmly said, "I think, youre a player of Dawn, arent you?" Except for this reason, there was nothing else that could explain her strange emotions after seeing him. "I dont know anything about Dawn." Ai Xin Yues heart pounded as she hugged a plush toy from Ai Xues bed, her eyes frantic, "Xiao Xue, I said something wrong just now, sister needs to go back now, my dad asked me to go home immediately." "You think you can leave just like that?" The corner of Luo Xis mouth curled up, and he chuckled playfully, "You found out my identity, and you still think you can leave without paying a price?" Ai Xin Yues pupils dilated suddenly. She thought of the screenshot of Ai Xue looking so young. Could it be that she was going to be... No, she couldnt betray her boyfriend whom she had just started dating recently! [Ding! Ai Xin Yues Fear Value towards you +66] Ai Xue could no longer maintain her expression and lightly punched Luo Xi, "Senior, stop teasing Sister Heart Moon. Youre going to scare her to death. I used the Eye of Truth on her, and shes not a game player, she probably learned some information somewhere." "Oh..." Luo Xi took a couple of steps, removed the hat from his head, and said kindly, "Sorry, I may have scared you just now. Lets try a different introduction, shall I? Im a player of Dawn, a Dreamland Traveler, Luo Xi, advisor to the Haicheng Dreamland Travel Bureau." Ai Xin Yues gaze swept over Luo Xis head. Where are the dragon horns? "Are you looking for this?" Luo Xi gave a slight smile. A pair of black and red dragon horns appeared as if by magic. Although fixed Mutation traits couldnt be easily removed, Skills could be used to hide the Dragon Horns, and Liya had given him a special scroll with this effect. Ai Xin Yue swallowed hard and stammered, "You... you all are..." "Yes." Ai Xue pulled out the black gun from her Dreamland knapsack. After witnessing the peculiarities of the two individuals, Ai Xin Yues worldview had finally collapsed completely. What is all this! A few dozen kilometers away from Mirror Flower Garden, in a protected forest area. A group of outsiders nested in an unused wooden cabin. Watching the projection, they showed pleased smiles. "Cros, that mark you made on Ai Xin Yue on the plane is really useful, she actually approached Black Death God." "After all, she and that Ai Xue are cousins, I only thought they might meet, but I didnt expect it so soon." "Were no match for Black Death God, but he has many ordinary people around him. If we control his dorm mates and the people in his girlfriends family, I dont believe hes the kind of cold-hearted person who will ignore everything." Someone said solemnly, "Cros, have you ever thought that we have a high probability of death by taking on this commission?" "High probability of death?" A brown-haired man with a scar at the corner of his eye said indifferently, "Wheres the high risk? Were not going to lay a hand on him, were just going to kidnap the people related to him and hand them over to the client. This commission will net us two billion Mijin, enough for us brothers to split." "Why do they want to go after Black Death God?" "What else could be the reason? Theyre afraid of someone they cant control, and they have to nip the threat in the bud, dont they?" The brown-haired man scoffed, "After all, in the future world, Transcendence Power might override everything. Black Death God is so powerful, and its freaking them out." "But even if we kidnap those related to him, we cant guarantee hell comply, can we?" Chapter 400 - 282 The Lolita-traveler was recognized by his sister, Spark’s recovery journey_3 Chapter 400: Chapter 282 The Lolita-traveler was recognized by his sister, Sparks recovery journey_3The brown-haired man shook his head, "No, he will." "Why?" "The client predicted his future with some high-level talent, and they saw the Black Death God take action according to their request." "Is that talents prediction accurate?" "It doesnt matter if its not accurate; its not our concern. Our job is to take away a few ordinary people he considers most important and use them as hostages for leverage." "Once he leaves the territory of the Xia country, he will face an unparalleled hunt, even..." "When do we act?" "Were just one group. Others, I guess, have already started. To prevent detection by Xia countrys official forces, well act simultaneously, maybe tomorrow? For now, we just need to keep a close watch on the target. If the Black Death God doesnt leave there, then we can declare the mission failed and will only get a participation fee of ten million." "Speaking of which, what about the Black Death Gods parents?" "Someone else has taken that task, not our group. Besides, his grandmother in the countryside as well." "Hiss, such a big fuss, just to kill one person?" "But he is currently the worlds most powerful Dreamland Traveler." The brown-haired man sighed, "Its because hes from the Xia country." ... Eight oclock in the evening. A riverside park near the Water Mirror Garden. Ai Xin Yue, as a returned scholar, quickly rebuilt her collapsed worldview with the explanations of the two. Ai Xin Yue said with doubt, "So youre really the strongest in the world right now?" Luo Xi shook his head, "Probably not, Im just the most famous one." Take Ande, for example, who definitely has more strength than him. Looking at her cousin, who had started to shrink and was now shorter than her, Ai Xin Yue whispered tentatively, "The most famous... Loli-con?" Luo Xis mouth twitched, "Can we not talk about that?" "Haha, it feels so interesting." Ai Xin Yue said with some envy, "Why didnt I get early access to Dawn?" "You will eventually," Luo Xi said. "Sigh... Nevermind, my heads a bit messy, Im going home. Can I come to you with questions tomorrow?" "Of course." "Oh, I have another question." Ai Xin Yue smiled, "Do you guys do it at night? Do x" sea??h th n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Ai Xue immediately coughed once. Luo Xi guiltily shifted his gaze away. They had just done that last night. Ai Xin Yue said with a strange expression, "Xiao Xue becomes so small at night, and you can still go through with it... really perverted." No wonder the information in that group called him the Black Loli-con Death God, which was later manipulated by various operations in the Xia country to remove the words Loli-con. Ai Xue took Ai Xin Yue by the arm, cooing, "Alright, lets not talk about that. Sister Heart Moon, do you need us to see you off?" "No need... Ill take a cab." After Ai Xin Yue left, Luo Xi and Ai Xue looked at each other and laughed together. "Your cousin wont spread this around, will she?" "No, Sister Heart Moon is very tight-lipped, not like my mom, who posted everything about you on her Moments immediately." "Really not going back tonight?" "Yeah, while Im not yet small enough for my elder to get caught, we should hurry and find a hotel, otherwise, if we go to check-in at eleven or twelve, the front desk will definitely call the police." "..." ... Half-past eight. [Welcome to the journey of dreams~] Luo Xi opened his eyes on the warm back of a dragon. From the afternoon until now, Florecia had taken them on a leisurely tour, reviving a total of thirty-five Hollow Flowers in the southern area of the Shining Country. However, the regions that the Hollow Flowers lead to are still unknown. These revived Hollow Flowers would always be discovered by someone, and letting them try it out would suffice. The process was supposed to consume a lot of time, but Florecia deliberately slowed down, descending with the three to enjoy any beautiful scenery they came across. Although the Shining Country is filled with snowscapes. Those cities wouldnt allow them to enter. Cat Cat, nibbling a pancake, gave Luo Xi a glance: "Youre here?" Shes now accustomed to Luo Xis comings and goings. "Yeah." Luo Xi looked at the now completely darkened sky and gently knocked on the scales of the Red Dragon, saying, "Can we go back?" The Red Dragon below grumbled discontentedly: "Little Luoxi, you forgot again, call me Mommy." "Laurecia Mommy..." "Hehe~" Weier snorted disdainfully. Pretending to be a dutiful son in front of their faces. A garbage mother with desires for her child and a seemingly reluctant, but probably delighted, perverted loli-con. Luo Xi said, "By the way, lets stop by Winter City first, I need to see Hill." "The city you went to last time when you disappeared?" "Yes." "Fine." The Red Dragon, with its wings blazing with intense flames, traced a beautiful curve through the night sky. Luo Xi took Spark out of his pack. Since it was hit by the Elfs destruction cannon last time, Sparks recovery has been particularly slow. What used to be the size of a boulder, Spark is now only half the size of a basketball, occasionally showing glowing runes flowing on its surface. Sparks responses to him were also drowsy. Like this"Spark... wants... its masters... xxx" Luo Xi had already tried stuffing precious materials and Mithril into Spark, but there was no response of absorption. After mounting the Furnace Core that the hat had transformed into, it only made its surface somewhat more lustrous. Spark is Liyas creation, and Liyas whereabouts are currently unknown, so in order to repair Spark, Luo Xi could only rely on himself. He wanted to ask Hill, the Craftsmen of Winter City, if there was a way to quickly restore Spark to its original state. ... In Shining City, over four thousand kilometers away from Belgri Town. A jet-powered flying vessel, much more advanced than the last airship, took to the sky, rapidly heading towards Belgri Town. The Archbishop, Xius, watched the dark night outside the window with deep eyes. "How long till we arrive?" "Around three hours. Rest assured, those who defy the light await your judgment!" ---------- Another Chapter coming tonight, 4000 words, probably around 1 or 2 in the morning Also recommending a book, its by a cross-dressing lad expert in female disguise. Chapter 401 - 283: A Man, Wife-lover, and Loli-con Reunite Again (4k)_1 Chapter 401: Chapter 283: A Man, Wife-lover, and Loli-con Reunite Again (4k)_1Winter City. A red dragon stretching over ten meters carried Luo Xi and two others, piercing directly through the golden Blessing Glory, alighting upon the streets of Grey Stone Street. Amidst the ascending heat of the flames, a Dragon Horn girl in a black dress slowly emerged. Luo Xi walked behind her, cradling Cat Cat and Aina in his arms. Despite this being his second visit, Luo Xi was still taken aback by the changes before his eyes. He had only glimpsed it once before, and now under the cover of the night and the Glory, the bright streets and tidy ground looked nothing like the streets of the Variants. Weier and Aina were already eagerly running towards their former home. Luo Xi followed closely behind them. The three-story cottage still stood stoutly in place. Cat Cat scurried up the stairs, darted through the door, and then opened it. "Brother Luo Xi, come." Aina took Luo Xis hand and they climbed up together. Regrettably, the once bustling living room and several bedrooms had already become empty. Most of the belongings had been moved to Luo Xis place, and many were now in Belgri Town. Weier looked around the familiar surroundings and thought of her mother, who was somewhere unknown, feeling the urge to cry. Aina choked up, "Aina thought shed never be able to come back." Compared to the luxurious mansion in Belgri Town, this small building was where they grew up, filled with countless memories, and it was something they could never part with. Moreover, it was here that she had first met Luo Xi. The Little Wolf Girl looked up at Luo Xi with tea-golden eyes brimming with fondness. How wonderful that Sister Weier could bring Brother back. Luo Xi was also gently looking at her, reaching out to ruffle her hair and those slightly drooping wolf ears. He asked softly, "Does Aina want to come here often in the future?" "Mhm!" Aina nodded vigorously, rubbing against Luo Xis hand. A white seed appeared in Luo Xis hand. [Would you like to separate the Origin Seed?] [Yes] A pure white light bloomed, the seed split in two, becoming two halves that were identical but half the size. Luo Xi headed to the larger bedroom, pulled up a floorboard, jumped into the basement, and placed one of the seeds on the ground. [Would you like to activate the Origin Seed?] [Yes] [OriginVoids power is infusing...] The seed quickly took root and sprouted; its roots pierced through the ground, growing up from the floor, and as Luo Xi continued to pour his power into it, it grew larger and larger. In the end, a flower similar to the Hollow Flower that Luo Xi had revived before appeared before him, only its serrated edges were tightly closed. Luo Xi nodded in satisfaction. After planting the other part, it would no longer be such a hassle to travel between Belgri Town and Winter City. Sear?h the N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Weier approached Luo Xi and whispered, "This is truly incredible." Just what kind of being favors this guy? On Luo Xi, whatever happened seemed natural. He always seemed capable of surprising everyone. [Note: Its us! Luo Xi: "?" "Why have you all come?" A youthful boys voice sounded. From within an ice-blue ring of light, Hill stepped out, curiously surveying the people in the basement. Weier and Sister Aina, Brother Luo Xi, and that terrifying... Dragon Lady. Luo Xi smiled and said, "We came to play with you." Hills eyes lit up, "Really?" "Well... more or less. Leave this here, and if you want to come play with us, you can use it." "A Hollow Flower?" Hill blinked; he had already seen a Hollow Flower in Belgri Town last time. Luo Xi said somewhat embarrassedly, "Actually, we came this time because I wanted to ask if there were any skilled Craftsmen in Winter City who could repair weapons and armor." "What level of Craftsman?" "Are there any Grandmasters?" "Ah?" Hill responded with an apologetic smile, "Sorry, but there are no Craftsmen of that level in Winter City. Though there are around ten Master Craftsmen who usually maintain and forge power armor. In fact, Mr. Alte is the Master Craftsman who is most likely to advance to Grandmaster, but he was injured when he was young, and his souls perception has declined a lot." "I see..." Luo Xi felt somewhat helpless. A Master Craftsman can communicate with Mithril, forging rare-tier equipment. A Grandmaster can go further, creating epic-tier purple equipment. And above that, a Grandmaster might be able to craft legendary level? The gap between each tier is astronomical. Actually, just making the jump from green quality to blue rarity is already akin to climbing to the heavens, as evident from the cliff-like prices of equipment: blue-tier equipment costs hundreds or thousands of times more than green or white ones; for players, purple epic-tier equipment is akin to divine artifacts. The Snowy Silver Wolf sword that Luo Xi had gotten was far more formidable than any ordinary green-tier weapon. After some thought, Hill suggested, "Why not ask Mr. Alte?" "That could work." Luo Xi nodded. The predecessor of Spark was the [Essence Power ArmorPrototype] crafted by Alte in his youth. Perhaps he would have a way. Hill gently snapped his fingers. Complicated inscriptions appeared on the basement floor, raising a blue ring of light that enveloped everyone. Once the familiar sensation of teleportation dizziness faded, Luo Xi found himself outside that deep alley workshop. Chapter 402 - 283: The Reunion of Man, Wife-Con, and Loli-con (4k)_2 Chapter 402: Chapter 283: The Reunion of Man, Wife-Con, and Loli-con (4k)_2Weier took Luo Xis hand, her soft red eyes looking at him: "Pervert, do you still remember this place?" "Of course, and stop calling me a pervert." "Hmph, you are a pervert." Luo Xi smiled and took the two sisters by the hand, heading towards the workshop. This time, Florecia was quietly observing them from behind, with Hill standing beside her, her ice-blue eyes warily watching Florecia. The girl with the Dragon Horns placed her hand on her chest. Was this the same place that Little Luo Xi and the others had visited before? For some reason, she felt a bit... jealous. She shouldnt be feeling this emotion. Strange. The thought of having to return to guard the coast the next day, while they got to continue living this life with their child, made her quite upset. Inside the deep alley workshop. Lek, with bear ears and arms covered with thick fur, was idly looking through a book. Seeing visitors, he immediately got up and said, "Welcome... Weier, Aina, youre back?" After the people of Grey Stone Street were returned to Winter City last time, Lek specially went to look for Weier and Ainas family, but couldnt find any trace of them. It seemed they had already left the city. Weier smiled and said, "Yes, Uncle Bear, long time no see." "Long time no see, and you too, young man. You seem to get along really well with these sisters." Lek winked at Luo Xi. Luo Xi didnt know whether to laugh or cry. The muffled sound of a cane tapping on the floor echoed as an old man with graying hair walked out from the workshop passageway. When he saw Luo Xi and the others, he was startled, and then realized that they were probably seeking his help. The only thing he could be proud of was his forging expertise. "Mr. Alte, weve come because of this." Luo Xi let out Spark and explained their purpose to Alte. "Repair...," Alte gazed at the black iron ball on the ground, frowning deeply. Honestly, this thing had shattered his understanding of Craftsman Forging Skill. Or rather, it wasnt a traditional forging system piece of equipment; it was a perfect combination of Rune Skill and Craftsman Forging Skill. Runes were something only Skill Practitioners could master. The runes within this iron ball, to his spiritual perception, were drawn by a Tier Four or higher Skill Practitioner. Only by finding the one who crafted the runes would it be possible to alter the internal structure. After looking for a while, Alte shook his head and said, "Im sorry, Spark has completely deviated from its original design that I laid out. Im unable to repair it." sea??h th N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Alright." Although Luo Xi had anticipated this, he still sighed. "However, I can try to accelerate its self-repair. Its main structure should be based on runes. Whats missing now are some of the material structures attached to it. You said it cant absorb and transform them, perhaps because the power it currently holds is not sufficient for the transformation." "So, what should we do?" Alte said, "Melt those materials and forge a mixture before feeding it to Spark." "How should I mix them?" Alte pondered and said, "Ill go there with you guys." "Thank you." Luo Xi nodded slightly to the old man. After finalizing their plans, Luo Xi walked out of the workshop with the two sisters and Alte. Florecia and Hill were still standing outside. At this moment, an unexpected person arrived. The youth with a cynical face was accompanying a beautiful Bunny-Eared Girl, trudging through the snow-covered road, a tiny Rabbit-Eared Loli following beside her. The large and small rabbits, Daisy and Winnie. And the man with a fetish for married women, Chu Tian. [Note: Trash Traveler, you only remember that hes a Cao Zei, right?] Luo Xi: "...." It had been so long since he last appeared, Luo Xi had almost forgotten about him. Wondering if the guy had accomplished his dream of winning over the Bunny-Eared Big Sister. Luo Xi waved his hand and called out, "Chu Tian." "Hm? Brother Luo!" Chu Tian was also momentarily surprised. He immediately chose to use the Dreamland Synchronization Module and ran up to Luo Xi, embracing him tightly amid the disdainful looks from Cat Cat and Aina. "Brother Luo, youre a big shot now! The Black Reaper, Knight to the Red Dragon Loli, I see people discussing you wherever I go on the forums," Chu Tian said excitedly. Luo Xi: "..." This kind of fame he could do without! Chu Tian looked towards the others. The Cat Lady, the Wolf Ladys sister, and this extra... red-haired girl with Dragon Horns; could it be the Red Dragon in her Loli form? Holy smokes, shes huge! Is this the size a Loli should be? But judging by her height and build, she indeed qualifies as a Little Loli. This Brother Luo is too amazing; while Im still diligently building Favorability, hes already riding dragons. I wonder when Ill finally be able to ride a rabbit... Thinking this, Chutian glanced at the bunny-eared mother and daughter behind him and suddenly felt a bit exhausted. He had spent too much time here without having achieved his goal. Maybe... I should just leave with Brother Luo? "Brother Luo, are you going to leave soon?" "Im leaving right now." "Can you take me with you?" "Hm?" Luo Xi paused, then softly asked, "And what about them?" "Daisy probably doesnt like me, I guess." A helpless smile appeared on Chutians face. "So I gave up." "I see..." The little rabbit girl trotted over to Luo Xi and said, "Big brother, its been a long time." Aina immediately showed her sharp little fangs and made a biting gesture at Winnie. Winnie naturally remembered this wolf sisters frightening demeanor. She shrank back a few steps and hid behind her mother. Weier watched this with a somewhat amused expression. Bullying the meek but fearing the strong, thats just Aina. "Saviors, long time no see." The bunny-eared girl also walked up to them. Chutian turned and took out a dozen gold coins from his bag, smiling at Daisy, who was approaching, "Daisy, Im going to leave with Brother Luo in a bit. These gold coins are for taking care of me during this time. Lets hope we meet again if fate allows." Daisy froze on the spot. The bunny-eared girls eyes held a trace of panic as she asked, "You, youre leaving? Why so suddenly? Is this place not good enough?" Chutian smiled at Daisy and said, "Its quite nice here, but a mans journey leads through the stars and the sea. So, lets hope we meet again." "Oh..." Daisy lowered her head, her hand unconsciously tightened its grip, and then she lifted her head and softly asked, "Will you come back here in the future?" "I might, I guess?" Luo Xi: "..." Why did he feel like Chutian had already completed his conquest? "Are you ready?" Florecia couldnt care less about the complex relationships and emotions of humans aside from her children. "Yes, can we take this old man and this guy with us?" Luo Xi asked, pointing to Alte and Chutian. "Yes, but mama doesnt want them on her back; theyll have to hang on," said Dragon Mama coldly. Alte: "..." He was grabbed and taken back like this last time. Chutian couldnt care less about whether he was riding or being grabbed for the flight. He was exceptionally excited now. Was he about to become someone who had ridden a dragon? And such a cute one at that, a Red Dragon Lady transformed into a Lolita dragon. Luo Xi glanced at the silent bunny-eared mother and daughter and whispered something into Hills ear. Hill nodded slightly. Then, a blazing wind rose, and a dragon with gleaming red scales took off towards the west, carrying two people in its claws and three on its back. Weier and Aina instinctively hugged each other as they watched the two being carried away by the Red Dragon. Outside the workshop, Daisy stood still, gazing into the darkness at the departing red figure. A tear quietly slid down the corner of her eye. "Why do I feel so sad?" If only she had accepted him earlier instead of hesitating because of her late husband... Winnie sensed her mothers sorrow, and her bunny ears drooped as well. In fact, that brother wasnt too bad after all. It wouldnt be so bad if he became her dad. "Um?" Hill came over and said with a smile, "Miss Daisy, would you like to go and visit them with us next time?" ... Belgri Town. Two scruffy travelers, carrying various tools, arrived at the town gates. Wen Huan observed the large town before him, sparkling in the night. Following the guidance of the stars, he had finally arrived here. "Master, shall we go in?" "Can we?" "Dont know, lets try." ----- Todays 9000 words are complete! Chapter 403 - 284: Don’t Touch Mom’s Tail, It’s Very, Very Sensitive_1 Chapter 403: Chapter 284: Dont Touch Moms Tail, Its Very, Very Sensitive_1Belgri Town. Sheltering the town, the golden Glory in the night sky opened up a portal as the searing object approached, welcoming the return of its master and guests. The Red Dragon skimmed over the ground. "Ugh" Alte and Chu Tian, after being tossed to the ground, clutched their throats and began to retch. Being clutched by the scorching dragon claws, that swaying feeling of nearly falling off, along with the g-forces from high-speed movement, was extremely uncomfortable. Weier also felt her stomach churn, and she covered it with her hand as she said to Aina, "Thank goodness she let us ride on her back, otherwise wed probably throw up to death." "Sister, dont be charmed by her little kindness!" Aina with a ??? expression said, "She only let us ride because of Brother Luo Xis face!" "What can we do about it." Weier touched the bald spot on Ainas tail and smiled helplessly, "Could you, Aina, talk to her with the same attitude you had toward that little rabbit just now?" "Sister is a big meanie." Aina muttered, "Aina doesnt want to become a hairless ugly freak." Shes ugly enough already. She wonders how long it would take to restore that fluffy and soft state that would let Brother Luo Xi bury his face and snuggle. The Little Wolf Girl looked around, "Where did Brother and she go?" Weier pointed forward, "Over there." In the splendid crimson flames, the Dragon Lady, dressed in a white gown and appearing as holy as a saintess, stepped out with graceful strides. Luo Xi was placed on the ground beside her. "Tsk." Cat Cat sneered disdainfully. Every time she changes into human form, she switches clothes back and forth, it must be to seduce children, right? Luo Xi propped himself up off the ground. He also wondered why Dragon Mama only wore black and white dresses? Up to now, Luo Xi had not seen any other colors, but he was certainly enjoying the view. Black was elegant and noble, white was holy and pure. The former resembled a lady of a noble house, while the latter was like a saintess from the church. Both outfits perfectly accentuated the Dragon Horn girls incredibly proud figure. If not for her petite stature and baby-faced appearance, she would be a proper Dragon Lady big sister.

Who would do such a thing as deceiving a little girls feelings! [Note: Since when are little girls eight thousand years old?] Luo Xi: "..." It sounds like it makes a lot of sense. [Ding! Weiers Anger Value for you +15] Weier, seeing Luo Xi gazing blankly at the Dragon Lady, puffed up her cheeks in annoyance and kicked him. "Pervert, stop staring. Is it that good to look at? Do you want me to show you?" Luo Xi blankly turned around and glanced at Cat Cats unremarkable chest. Not enough for an A... no wait, he had touched Cat Cats before, and it might actually qualify as an A+. Its a pity that her development stopped too early; if not, given the excellent genes of her mother-in-law, another year might have seen several size increases, as girls grow fast. Weier, noticing Luo Xis glance, subconsciously hugged her chest and (n) said, "Perverted Luo Xi, you must be thinking something weird!" Aina came up giggling, "Brother Luo Xi must be thinking that Sister Weier is too small, but dont worry, Sister, when Aina grows up, she can share with you!" The Little Wolf Girl leaned on her sister, picked up her hand, and deliberately patted her own burgeoning area. Cat Cats body shivered. The softness of Ainas touch was already no worse than her own... Ever since the food improved and she had her first period, symbolizing the growth of a girl, Ainas development was visibly progressing daily. Simultaneously, Weier was relieved that her sister was finally growing up, but also frustrated that her own body hadnt changed at all. There wouldnt be a future scene where Aina stood over her, pressing down on her head with her chest, would there? Cat Cat felt a bit like dying when she considered such a possibility. As the elder sister, being smaller than the younger sister... She didnt want that at all! Cat Cat lowered her head in dismay. Aina tilted her head and quietly tugged on Luo Xis hand, her tea-gold eyes blinking. Brother Luo Xi, Sister is very sad, come comfort her. Luo Xi: "..." He hasnt even said anything yet, and the Little Wolf Girl had already deeply hurt Cat Cat by pointing out the obvious. Luo Xi extended his hand to pet Cat Cats cat ears. Weier raised her hand, intending to swat Luo Xis Fondling Hands away. She didnt want to be touched by him, the playboy! Go and touch Aina, who wont resist you, or the cheap big-chested mama! Chapter 404 - 284: Don’t Touch Mom’s Tail, It’s Very, Very Sensitive_2 Chapter 404: Chapter 284: Dont Touch Moms Tail, Its Very, Very Sensitive_2Hmph! Afterward, she heard the youth say gently, "Its okay, Lolita, actually, its quite cute." [Note: Reject the aesthetic of youthfulness and start with lousy Travelers!] [Ding! Your morality -3] [Ding! Weiers embarrassment value +33] "Aina, lets go. Dont talk to perverts like him or youll become one too..." Weier huffed softly, grabbed Aina, and tried to leave. But Luo Xi could already see Cat Cats neck flush red. The tsundere cat-eared girl was on her usual form today. Aina wiggled her wolf ears at Luo Xi and blinked her amber eyes slightly. Sister Weier is so funny. "Indeed," Luo Xi nodded. But Aina, as a younger sister, is it really good for you to torment your sister like that? Definitely the epitome of a good little sister. Chu Tian finally finished vomiting, and when he looked at this harmonious scene, he came over and quietly asked, "Brother Luo, could you enlighten me on how you keep your harem so harmonious? Including the one from our world, you have four Lolitas now, right?" Luo Xis mouth twitched. "No comment," he said. Harmonious? Where did he see that? Just the sickly jealous tendencies of a wolf-eared girl were enough to give Luo Xi a headache. If it werent for Florecias absolute strength, and Ai Xue being from the real world, Ainas cleaver would have to chop down on them and himself a few times. Of course, even if he were chopped with a cleaver, Luo Xi wouldnt let go. Not to mention Dragon Mama, with Ai Xue, hed done everything already; he couldnt just clean the plate and then run away, could he? Weier and Aina were the same; Luo Xi could no longer walk away from them. He couldnt bear the thought of them in another mans arms one day. So Luo Xi was prepared to see this path to the dark end. Since he couldnt let go of any of them, hed take them all. A cleaver it is, then. Death be my witness! [Note: Is this the lousy Travelers harem declaration as a Loli-con?] Put your money where your mouth is, Damn Text, and try joining me! [Note: No way! I wouldnt join your loli harem! And Im not a Lolita anyway, you wouldnt like me ()!] Luo Xi raised an eyebrow. Isnt this guy crying no thief in sight? "Wheres the alchemy and craftsman workshop here? Id like to start trying now. Please find me a quiet place; I promise to do my utmost to help you restore Spark!" Alte, finished with his vomiting bout, hobbled over with his cane, excitement filled his pale face. S~ea??h the N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Rune Power Armor, a perfect combination of Forging Skill, Alchemy Skill, and Rune Skill. Most Craftsmen skilled in forging were also proficient in alchemy; the two abilities shared considerable common ground. And Rune Power Armor, an innovative piece of equipment that breaks conventional thinking, gave Alte a new direction. As a Mutant Patient, he couldnt draw runes with the same ease as Skill Practitioners, but it wasnt necessarily about casting runes. Perhaps simple inscriptions could achieve a similar effect. Alte had a premonition; if he could thoroughly research this, no, even if he could understand just a part of it, he might be able to elevate his forging skill to the level of a Grandmaster, despite his deficient soul perception. Any Grandmaster Craftsman, even a Mutant Patient, would receive the utmost respect. Because the title Grandmaster symbolized epic tales; throughout the many epic stories passed down across the Pan Continent, the tools left behind by former Grandmasters held significant mentions. Anything above, a Grand Grandmaster, no longer belonged to the realm of mortals; that was the domain of legend. Luo Xi was infected by the old mans enthusiasm and said with a smile: "Let me take you there... Hmm? Do we have visitors?" The Belgri Records informed him that two people had come to the outskirts of the town. The Divine Trees feedback showed that both individuals were not very strong; one was Third-tier, the other Second-tier. It was unusual for Transcendents to seek out this remote town in the middle of the night; their intentions were unclear. At the moment, those two were communicating with the guards outside the town, inquiring if they could enter. The two guards in armor looked serious. Belgri Town did not ostracize Mutant Patients, but upon learning that the old man was a Third-tier Variant, they decided it was best to report to Lord Ulysses. Following the old man, the sturdy young man stepped forward and said, "Although my teacher is a Mutant Patient, he is a well-known Master Craftsman who was once the chief craftsman of Northwind City. Weve come to seek refuge, having heard that the Lord of this place does not shun Variants." "Master Craftsman?" Luo Xi was taken aback. Belgri Town was in dire need of such top-tier talents. Since there were people coming to offer their services, he naturally would not turn them away. Snap Luo Xi snapped his fingers lightly. With the invincible Dragon Mama here, he dared to let anyone in, regardless of what kind of demon or monster they might be. Golden ripples formed, and the two men, who had been talking to the guards, were teleported directly by Luo Xi into the town, landing right in front of him. One was a man in his twenties, with a face weathered by the elements, and the other was an elderly man in his sixties or seventies, with intricate snake scales on his hands. Florecia casually glanced over. Chicken scraps, both of them. They were both still bewildered. How did they suddenly change places? However, the old man quickly realized that he had been teleported into the town. The Lord of this town was among these people! He immediately showed a respectful expression, took a quick scan of the people present, then bowed and said, "May I know which of you is the Lord here? My apprentice and I are grateful for your acceptance." Chapter 405 - 284: Don’t Touch Mom’s Tail, It’s Very, Very Sensitive_3 Chapter 405: Chapter 284: Dont Touch Moms Tail, Its Very, Very Sensitive_3The images floated up from his mind. Three little girls suffering from Mutation Syndrome. Two young men, one of whom was also a Variant. Sar?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. And an old man of the Bird Clan Variant, nearly the same age as him. Um? The old man suddenly looked up at Alte, his voice trembling as he asked, "You are Alte Romstrom?" Alte frowned and replied, "Do you know me?" The old mans eyes widened with dissatisfaction as he said, "Its been over forty years, Brother. Have you become senile? Im Fredman!" "Fredman? Youre Fredman?" Altes face stiffened as he recalled the shadow from fifty years ago, who used to follow him around at Betrand David City when he was learning Craftsman Forging Skill. The green youngster from back then, had he too aged and become old like himself? Fredman laughed and said, "Yes! Who else could recognize you at first glance other than me?" But Alte did not feel the joy normally found in a reunion. He spoke softly, "If you are here, where is Teacher Jeffrey?" "The teacher..." Fredmans smile faded and he said bitterly, "Three years ago, after I became a Variant, I was driven out by Bellrand. However, the teacher was still well at that time. Its me who failed to meet his expectations." Alte looked at the scales on Fredmans hands, murmuring, "Why were you also infected..." Fredman waved his hand and said, "Just bad luck. It happened during a search for materials when I was attacked by a Lord-level snake Origin Beast. Its factor eroded me, forcibly converting all of my Sublimation Yuan Su into Mutated Yuan Su. Its quite good that I can still live stably now." The life span of Mutated Transcenders does not increase with the deepening mutation; it gradually decreases unless one completely becomes an Origin Beast. Otherwise, aging is inevitable. Alte said nothing. He walked a few steps. Then, the two old men hugged each other tightly and cried like young children. Luo Xi was also somewhat moved by the scene. Although he wanted to say, how could one come across acquaintances in the vast Pan Continent? Unbelievable. In another area, Wen Huans gaze swept past Luo Xi and didnt pay much attention. His entire focus these days was on his girlfriend, who was afflicted with a terminal disease. He had participated in the last Dark Void Tree DLC event but didnt survive until the end; his three lives were extinguished right from the start. He hadnt checked those forums afterward, so he wasnt quite aware of Luo Xis situation. After all, what did the strength of the Black Death God have to do with him? Could it cure his girlfriends terminal illness? However, another petite redhead with dragon horns, her appearance was strikingly similar to the one he had encountered on the Dream Trading Platform last time. Or one might say they were carved from the same mold! It was just that the somewhat disappointing chest from the Dream Trading Platform had now become quite spectacular. Did she take some breast enlargement drugs? "Excuse me, arent you the one I traded with last time..." Wen Huan took a few steps forward toward Florecia, wanting to thank her again, this person who gave hope to his girlfriend. "Hmm?" Behind Florecia, the Dragon Tail flickered, her crimson vertical pupils slightly gleaming, and her red hair lit up like flames, dispersing the oppressive Yuan Su fluctuations in the air. In an instant, Wen Huan found himself overwhelmed and pushed down to the ground. Seeing trouble, Luo Xi immediately went up and hugged the Dragon Lady, pressing firmly on the base of her tail with one hand. Her warm, soft body became scorching hot as soon as he embraced her. "Ressia Mama, dont use force just yet..." Luo Xi stopped mid-sentence, staring dumbfounded at the blushing face of the Dragon Mama in his arms. For the first time, Dragon Mamas delicate face gave him the impression of a girl in shy agitation. "Little Luo Xi, can your hand not be on Mamas tail? That area... that area is very sensitive..." ----- Another Chapter of around 5000 words to be published around 1-2 am Chapter 406 - 285 Dragon Mama’s Shyness and the Melting of Eternal Ice_1 Chapter 406: Chapter 285 Dragon Mamas Shyness and the Melting of Eternal Ice_1"Ah?" Upon hearing the dragon ladys shy murmur in his arms, Luo Xi was somewhat panicked as he groped the tail in his hand once more. It was odd, really, the dragons tail, covered with dense scales, should have been incredibly tough, but under Luo Xis touch, it became quite pliable. His fingers instantly sank into the open scales. "Mmm~" A coquettish moan sounded. Florecia raised her hand, covering her lips, and her vertical pupils no longer held the majesty of a dragon, only an increasingly hazy gaze. "Little Luoxi, dont, dont touch like that, Mamas going to become... become strange..." All eyes present turned bizarrely awkward. Cat Cat and Aina were holding hands, looking angrily at Luo Xi. Before, when Florecia teased Luo Xi, they were fine with it; they knew Luo Xi lacked the strength to resist and could only passively accept it. But now, this guy had the nerve to blatantly engage in such play with the dragon lady right before them! Luo Xi keenly felt the murderous intent coming from Cat Cat and Aina. [Ding! Weiers Anger Value +66] [Ding! Ainas Anger Value +88] [Note: Traveler, youve successfully found the Dragon Ladys sensitive spot, do you wish to continue toying with it?] [Yes/No] Whats with the choice, damn text, buzz off! Luo Xi let go of the tail at once, but the dragon lady still collapsed in his arms, breathing slowly, her chest rising and falling gently. Now he was in a dilemma, unsure whether to let go or not to let go. Aina sneakily glanced at her own big tail. Did this dragon deliberately mess up her tail to get Brother to lay a hand on it? Crafty dragon bitch! Chu Tian looked at Luo Xi with admiration as if he were an idol. He knew the true form of the girl with the fiery red hair and dragon horns. She was an exceedingly powerful dragon species, who destroyed The Dark Void Tree with a single punch and now, before Brother Luo, displayed the fa?ade of a genuinely adorable Little Lolita. Truly an unbeatable Black Death God. One word. Awesome! As for Alte, Fredman, and Wen Huan, they were all stunned. Like Chu Tian, Alte also knew the real identity of the dragon-horned girl, a dragon species that not even the City Owner of Hill could confront within the city. Fredman thought to himself, for this young man to lay hands on such a small girl was simply a bustards act. But, judging by the prominent Dragon Species Mutation traits on their foreheads, could they be siblings? That would be way too scandalous! Wen Huan struggled to lift his head, looking at the red-haired girl limp in Luo Xis embrace, his mind going utterly mushy. Was this really the benefactor he had traded with? It didnt seem so... No, it was entirely different! Putting aside the scientifically implausible growth spurt in her chest area, the dragon lady who had traded with him had been cool and quiet, whereas this girl seemed quite violent, striking him without a word -- he had thought he was about to die a moment ago. He had entered this place in sync mode; dying now would be such a waste. This town clearly hid some secrets. Truly the guidance of the stars had led him to this fated revelation. "Laurecia, Mom..." Luo Xi had intended to let Florecia stand up on her own. Yet, thinking of the several unfamiliar faces around, he found himself unable to call out "Mama." In front of strangers, calling such a young-looking girl Mama felt embarrassingly awkward... And why on earth was the tail a sensitive spot! Because Florecias tail wasnt the fluffy kind, it didnt look pet-able, so Luo Xi had never touched it before. Previously, when the dragon lady used the softness of her chest to pillow Luo Xi, shoving him into the snowy whiteness, she hadnt reacted at all, only conveying a feeling of tender love. Luo Xi had thought that as a fully transformed dragon, she had completely lost those shy human emotions. But now, he had accidentally stumbled upon... [Note: Congratulations, garbage Traveler, youve taken a firm step on the path to becoming a True Dragon Knight. Keep it up~] [Ding! Ainas Yandere Value +5] Luo Xi swallowed and glanced aside, indeed seeing a pair of tea-golden eyes that had lost their luster. Keep it up my ass! sea??h th N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The atmosphere on the scene grew strangely tense. Fortunately, after Florecia breathed heavily for a while, she slowly returned to normal, her vertical pupils regaining their dignity, and only the flush on her beautiful face hinted at the unusual incident that had just occurred. The dragon-horned girl swayed her tail behind her, extricating herself from Luo Xis embrace, and poked him in the middle of his forehead with her index finger. Then, with her hands on her hips, she said, "Little Luoxi, dont suddenly touch Mamas tail like that again, okay? Next time you want to touch it, you have to tell Mama first. Understand? You need to be good! If it had been anyone else just now, Mama would have burnt this place to the ground." Luo Xis mouth twitched as he nodded. [Note: Garbage Traveler, youre really looking forward to a next time?!] Was I supposed to shake my head instead? He took a deep breath. Under the gaze of the crowd, each filled with different emotions, he turned around and spoke to the newcomers Fredman and Wen Huan, "Im the current Lord of this town. Welcome to Belgri Town. Since Mr. Alte is a former acquaintance of Mr. Fredman, who is also a craftsman, could you possibly lend a hand later?" Chapter 407 - 285 Dragon Mama’s Shyness and the Melting of Eternal Ice_2 Chapter 407: Chapter 285 Dragon Mamas Shyness and the Melting of Eternal Ice_2Chu Tian blinked, his inner turmoil growing even greater. Not only did Brother Luo have a knack for charming Lolitas, but how had he become the lord of such a large town without any noise? Alte was startled, then immediately nodded and said, "After I left Betrand, my junior brother continued to study with our teacher for many more years. His smithing skills probably far exceed mine now, so his help would make success more likely." "You must be joking, senior brother." With a bitter smile, Fredman said, "Even three years ago, I had only just glimpsed the threshold of grandmaster. In these three years of wandering, due to the erosion of the Mutant Factor, my smithing skills have actually deteriorated. This is my disciple I took on recently, Wen Huan. He has helped me a lot on the road. He learned in less than a month, going from a complete beginner to now having proficient-level forging skills." "Wen Huan, quickly greet your uncle-master." Wen Huan respectfully called out uncle-master. Altes eyes lit up. His junior brother actually found a forging genius with such talent? He rummaged in his pocket for a while, intending to find something to give his nephew-master as a meeting gift, but after feeling around for a long time, he came up empty-handed. A bit embarrassed. He had left in such a hurry that all the good stuff was at the workshop back in the alley. Luo Xi chuckled and said, "Mr. Alte, maybe next time. How about we go check on Spark for now?" Pop! Luo Xi snapped his fingers. Suddenly, a golden ring enveloped everyone, transporting all of them to a place filled with various materials. This was the manors underground storeroom and laboratory. Ulysses was instructing several servants in the final clean-up. Seeing Luo Xi bring people over, he waved the servants away and then walked over to Luo Xi and said, "Lord, as per your instructions, all the precious materials have been moved over here. Do you need them now?" "Mhm." Luo Xi nodded. "Then I will take my leave.....ssss" An odd sound. "Sorry, Lord, its hungry again." Ulysses poked at a big fat worm sticking its head out of his pocket. Only then did Luo Xi remember the Delkus Snowworm that he had given to the butler to feed. Sarch* The N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "What is this thing?" Chu Tian sauntered over, even reaching out to touch it. "Have a death wish?" Luo Xi punched the guy. [SnowwormDelkus] [Description: An alchemy creature with fragments of Delkuss memories that can extend its lifespan and gain certain special abilities by being fed blood.] [Lifespan: Two and a half months (can grow and evolve by being fed blood)] [Would you like to feed it your blood?] [No] Luo Xi wasnt ready to experiment on himself just yet. As an alchemical creature of Ande, the Snowworm was simply too dangerous. It was better left to professionals like Alte to study later on. "Ill take this worm back with me for now." "All right, Lord." Ulysses also had some trepidation about the worm. He had been feeding it chicken and pig blood, so the worm hadnt changed much in size until now. After casually placing the worm in a box, Luo Xi took Spark out of his pack. "Please help me repair this equipment, both of you masters." "Whats this?" Fredman squinted his eyes, and strange glyphs started to reverse in his vision. The black metallic skin peeled away under his souls perception, revealing the true white radiance inside... Was this the rune skill of the Skill Practitioner profession? This peculiar structure of runes: transforming, flowing, regenerating. Mithril integrated their flow, while the other metal materials seemed to just complement it.... What exactly was this thing? Fredman opened his eyes, full of astonishment. He had seen a ghost! Alte said with a proud smile, "Amazing, isnt it? You might not believe this, but this is the first Rune Power Armor I ever made. It has gone through several generations of use, and this young person has turned it into what it is now." "Rune Power Armor?" Fredman had an epiphany, saying, "Is this a portable power armor?" Alte nodded, "Yes, its real name is Rune Power Armor. Runes are its body. Even the Essence Power furnace, which is the most important part of conventional power armor, has been replaced with a rune structure. That hat... Creation Series Skill Practitioner really is magical. Worthy of Liya to have such transcendental mastery in Rune Skills." Weier and Aina listened in confusion, but hearing the old man praise their mother, both of them happily wagged their tails. Fredman hesitated, "But how do we repair this? We dont know runes. Should we find a Skill Practitioner?" Alte shook his head, "Even if we knew runes, we could not alter its rune structure. That was constructed by a master, even a grandmaster of Rune Skills. In fact, Spark has its own will. If we feed it the materials it can absorb, it will probably recover on its own." "Senior brother, youre right. Lord, do we have Mithril here?" "We do, but only one kilogram," Luo Xi said. Alte said, "Thats enough for the experiment. If we need more, we can guide it to generate itself. Are there other precious materials? Although we cant strengthen Sparks runes, if we use high-quality external materials for the casing, it will become stronger once restored." Luo Xi pondered for a moment. He took out a few precious materials from his Dreamland pack that he had obtained in Winter City.

Alte and Fredmans pupils constricted suddenly. As Master Craftsmen, they could usually recognize the rarity of a material at a glance. Both of these items were materials used for crafting epic-level weapons and equipment, or for the advancement in high-tier Sublimation pathways! Luo Xi asked, "Can we incorporate these two items?" The two materials were of no use hidden in his hand anyway. If they could make Spark stronger, then that would be best. Alte and Fredman exchanged glances. Fredman said hesitantly, "We can try. After all, no matter how we add external materials, it wont affect the rune sequence, but if we dont have adequate furnace equipment, we might not even be able to melt these materials..." Florecia said nonchalantly, "Leave that to me." With a flick of her hand, the two materials floated over, suspended in her palm, as bright red flames rose from her hand, significantly increasing the temperature of the basement in an instant. Florecia lightly stomped her foot, and a red semi-transparent membrane enveloped her body, limiting the heat within a certain range. Soon, the black stone transformed into a flowing black liquid. Only the cold air released by the Eternal Ice resisted the searing flame. The Dragon Horned Girl frowned slightly, "Is this... the lingering power of the Snow Disaster Mislat?" The crystals formed by the power left behind by the Origin Disaster, no wonder they could resist for so long. But, these were just remnants. Florecia vanished in an instant, retreating into her domain world, leaving behind the scorching liquid melted from the black stone still floating in the air. [Catastrophe Stone (Melted State)] [Note: It is advised that you, damn Traveler, refrain from using the Catastrophe Stone until you find enough lucky items to neutralize its disastrous power, lest you want to mysteriously trip to your death after using Spark, eh?~] Luo Xi: "..." S~ea??h the ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. You should have said that earlier. Under the eager gaze of the two old men, Luo Xi collected the melted liquid of the Catastrophe Stone into his bag, preserving it in its current state. Luo Xi said, "Lets not use this one, it might cause trouble." About ten minutes later. Florecia reappeared. Luo Xi noticed that she was sweating at her temples. In her hand was a colorless liquid, looking like water, releasing an extreme chill. [Eternal Ice (Water State)] [Description: If insufficient heat is maintained to keep it in a water state, it will re-solidify into ice within ten minutes] Florecia looked at Luo Xi and asked, "Can we use this?" "Hmm." Luo Xi nodded. The Damn Text didnt say it couldnt be used, so it could. The two old men began experimenting as if no one else were present, overjoyed. This basement was full of materials, whatever they needed, even if it required melting the metal materials, was just a matter of a breath of fire from Dragon Mama. Materials once collected by Andrew, many precious ones, were mixed together. Finally, when that glob of water-state Eternal Ice was added, the merged liquids almost froze again, until Dragon Mama increased the flames to melt them once more. Alte told Luo Xi, "We need some time to test." "No problem, just give it a try." Luo Xi was not in a hurry. He took the opportunity to arrange accommodations for Chu Tian and his companions. Especially Chu Tian, his eyes lit up when he heard there were many Beast Eared Girl sisters around. Before long, two hours had passed. The two Master Craftsmen still hadnt made progress. Luo Xi yawned. Even with time spent coming and going, his synchronized time in the town for today was almost used up. Time to go back. Just then, a loud rumbling noise came from outside the basement. [Ding! The messenger of the Eternal World TreeNoah, Xius, is demanding a compulsory takeover of the Belgri Divine Tree with Archbishop rights] Luo Xi: "?" Florecia suddenly looked up, her golden vertical pupils narrowing slightly. A somewhat impressive human has arrived. ----- 9k! Chapter 409 - 285 Dragon Mama’s Shyness and the Material of Eternal Ice_1 Chapter 409: Chapter 285 Dragon Mamas Shyness and the Material of Eternal Ice_1The initial seed of the Hollow Flower? At the dinner table, while picking up some food, Luo Xi briefly paused. "Do you wish to retrieve it?" "Yes." A white seed the size of a marble appeared in Luo Xis hand. "Do you wish to separate it?" "No." "Gentle Reminder: The spatial rules of the two worlds differ. The Hollow Flower can only be planted in the Dream World. If planted in the world where you, the Traveler, reside, it will have no effect." Ai Xues mother saw Luo Xi frozen in place and immediately picked up a piece of braised pork for him, smiling warmly, "Xiao Luo, eat more tonight. This is Aunties specialty dish. Xiao Xue has been eating them since she was little, and the taste is absolutely top-notch." Ai Xue pouted and coquettishly said, "Mom, you didnt give me any. Youre so biased." Li Muxi couldnt help laughing, "Dont you have hands? And I see youre quite happy. Speaking of which, arent you going to tell us how you two met? Your dad and I really want to know." "Heh heh~ Its a long story, we can talk about it another time." "Hey, always so secretive, you smooth operator." "Humph." "Delicious." Luo Xi pocketed the initial seed and smiled, "Aunties cooking really is quite excellent, on par with a five-star hotel chef." Li Muxi grinned from ear to ear, "Luo Xi, youre really sweet-talked. Is that how you swept Xiao Xue off her feet?" Luo Xi laughed awkwardly. Ding-dong Ai Chen looked up and said, "Xiao Xue, go open the door. It should be Xin Yue." "Ah? Sister Heart Moon is here? Isnt she studying abroad?" Ai Xue immediately got up and ran to the door to open it. Standing outside was a tall woman dressed in trendy, belly-baring attire and a short skirt, with outstanding looks. Ai Xue exclaimed with surprise, "Sister Heart Moon!" Ai Xin Yue was Ai Xues cousin, and the two had been very close since childhood. However, Ai Xin Yue went to study abroad the year Ai Xue started university. Since then, it has been difficult for them to meet, only keeping in touch through messages and occasional phone calls. "Xiao Xue, long time no see." Ai Xin Yue, carrying a basket of items, walked in. She gave Ai Xue an eyebrow flick, "I just arrived at Haicheng Airport this afternoon. I wanted to give you all a surprise, but after checking your moms friends circle, I saw youd gotten a boyfriend. So, I came right over. Let me have a look at your boyfriend." Ai Xue pointed inside the house and laughed, "Feel free to check him out. The senior is still inside eating." Ai Xin Yue put down her things and walked in, immediately spotting Luo Xi and Ai Xues parents sitting in the restaurant area. "Auntie, Uncle, Im here!" Ai Chen nodded and said warmly, "Come and eat." "Hey, what a coincidence that youre here, Xin Yue." Li Muxi smiled at Luo Xi, "She is Xiao Xues cousin, Ai Xin Yue, whos very close to Xiao Xue." Luo Xi nodded slightly to the woman and said with a light laugh, "Hello, Xin Yue cousin. Im Luo Xi, Xiao Xues boyfriend." "Luo Xi..." Ai Xin Yue looked at Luo Xi, her brows furrowing. Why did this mans face look familiar to her? Sarch* The n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Where had she seen it before? Ai Xue pushed her from behind, "Sister Heart Moon, what are you standing there for? Lets eat." "Mmm..." Ai Xin Yue sat down and joined Ai Xue. She took out her phone and opened a line group. Abroad, the control over information regarding "Dawn" and the Dream World wasnt as strict as in Xia country. Many players hidden among ordinary people hadnt been discovered, sharing knowledge about "Dawn". So, some information still spread among the regular populace. Ai Xin Yue had been pulled aside and added to such a group after an academic conference. The members inside discussed various gear, paths to Sublimation, Transcendence power, and current global rankings of powerhouses. She had always thought it was just a game group, occasionally checking it to see those people with chuunibyou, adding some fun to her monotonous life. The last time shed checked the group was three days ago. As soon as Ai Xin Yue entered, she saw a pinned message. "Black Death God, Luo Xis latest intelligence." "Luo Xi: Xia country national / 24 years old / Male" "Known Info Currently resides in Haicheng, Xia country. A Mutated Transcender of the Dragon Species, tier unknown, possesses epic-level high-grade equipment, and a golden-tier legendary talent." "Known Info Once faced two entities from the Black Danger Level List, Trickster Sorcerer and Purple Flame Camel Lion, single-handedly and completely crushed them, showing terrifying strength." "Known Info In the Dream World, he rides a king-tier Red Dragon Origin Beast, which can transform into a human form, appearing as a cute, busty, red-haired Little Lolita (so jealous!)." "Known Info Has a particularly deep relationship with his university junior, Ai Xue, whose talent or ability seems to affect her body, causing it to become younger at certain times." "Dangerous Level: Black 01 (Currently the strongest Dreamland Traveler in the world. It is not advised for any hunter to pursue him, as the possibility of being counter-killed is 99.9%. One could try luring him with temptations from Lolita-type assassins?)" Ai Xin Yue: "???" She clicked on the profile picture attached to the message. Then she compared it with Luo Xi sitting beside her. Identical! It was the same Luo Xi wearing a cap, but the Luo Xi in the photo also had a set of peculiar dragon horns atop his head. Chapter 410 - 285 Dragon Mama’s Shyness and the Eternal Ice Material_2 Chapter 410: Chapter 285 Dragon Mamas Shyness and the Eternal Ice Material_2What could be under this hat? [Ding! Ai Xin Yues Shock Value towards you +66] Luo Xi: "?" Whats with Ai Xues cousin? Why the hell are you shocked? Ai Xue called out with some confusion: "Sister Heart Moon?" Ai Xin Yue forced a smile: "Xiao Xue, your boyfriend is really handsome." Ai Xues eyes narrowed happily: "Of course, the senior can live off his looks alone." If the senior wasnt a wicked loli-con, probably wouldnt even have waited until my freshman year to meet him at a volunteer event. He might have lost it during high school. Hmm? Now that I think about it, its actually great that senior is a loli-con! After the meal, Ai Xin Yue seemed a bit distracted as she chatted with everyone at the table and kept checking her phone. Eventually, she excused herself to charge her phone and slipped into Ai Xues room. Luo Xi asked quietly: "Whats up with your cousin?" Ai Xue shook her head: "I dont know, Sister Heart Moon wasnt like this before, she seems a bit off today..." Luo Xi seemed thoughtful. Inside the pink bedroom. Ai Xin Yue carefully reviewed the documents in the group chat. "Dawn," Transcendents, two closed beta tests, The Dark Void Tree... The group also had photos of Ai Xue after she shrunk. Her youthful appearance, just like Ai Xin Yue ten years ago, when they were sisters who talked about everything. Ai Xin Yue could tell at a glance it was Ai Xue. What the hell is going on with the world? Ai Xin Yue felt lost. She felt her worldview collapsing. Squeak The door was pushed open. Luo Xi and Ai Xue walked in and closed the door behind them. Ai Xin Yue looked at Ai Xue, and biting her lip, said: "Xiao Xue, get away from this person quickly, hes dangerous." Ai Xue shook her head and responded faintly: "Sister Heart Moon, I cant go back anymore." Ai Xin Yue: "!" Luo Xi asked curiously: "Do you already know everything?" Ai Xin Yue suddenly asked anxiously in return: "Know? What do you mean know? What are you talking about?" Luo Xi calmly said: "I think, youre a player of Dawn, arent you?" Other than that, there was no other explanation for her strange behavior upon seeing him. "I dont know anything about Dawn." Ai Xin Yues heart pounded as she clutched a stuffed toy on Ai Xues bed, her eyes filled with panic: "Xiao Xue, I spoke out of line just now. I need to go back first; my dad told me to come home right away." "You think you can just leave that easily?" Luo Xis lips curled in a mocking smile: "Youve discovered my identity, and you think you can walk away without giving something in return?" Ai Xin Yues pupils dilated in shock. She thought about the screenshot showing Ai Xue so much younger. Could it be that I am also going to be... No, she cant let down her boyfriend who she just started dating! [Ding! Ai Xin Yues Fear Value towards you +66] Ai Xue finally couldnt keep her composure. She lightly punched Luo Xi and said helplessly: "Senior, stop teasing Sister Heart Moon. Youre going to scare her to death. Ive seen with the Eye of Truth; shes not a game player, probably heard some rumors somewhere." "Oh..." Luo Xi took a few steps forward, removed the hat from his head, and said warmly: "Sorry if I frightened you just now. Let me introduce myself again. Im a player of Dawn, a Dreamland Traveler, Luo Xi, an advisor to the Haicheng Dreamland Travel Bureau." Ai Xin Yues gaze swept over the top of Luo Xis head. Where were the dragon horns? "Are you looking for this?" Luo Xi smiled slightly. A pair of black and red dragon horns appeared as if by magic. Although fixed Mutation traits couldnt be easily removed, they could be concealed using a Skill and Liya had given him a special scroll for just that effect. Ai Xin Yue swallowed hard: "You... you all are..." "Yes." Ai Xue pulled a black gun from her Dreamland knapsack. After witnessing the bizarre aspects of the two, Ai Xin Yues worldview finally completely shattered. What is all this! Dozens of kilometers away from the Water Mirror Garden, in a protected forest area. S~ea??h the ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. A group of outsiders huddled in an abandoned cabin. They looked at the projected image with pleased smiles. "Cros, the mark you placed on Ai Xin Yue on the plane was really useful; she actually got close to the Black Death God." "After all, she and Ai Xue are cousins; I just thought they might meet, didnt expect it so soon." "Were no match for the Black Death God, but he has many ordinary people around him. If we get control of his dorm mates and the people in his girlfriends family, I dont believe he wouldnt budge, even with a heart of stone." A person said in a deep voice: "Cros, have you considered that taking on this mission gives us a high risk of death?" "A high risk of death?" A brown-haired man with a scar near his eye said nonchalantly: "Wheres the high risk? We dont have to lay a finger on him, just kidnap the people related to him, deliver them to the client, and after this mission, we can get two billion Mijin. Thats enough for us brothers to split." "Why do they want to act against the Black Death God?" "What other reason could there be? They feel theres an uncontrollable person appearing, someone who needs to be snuffed out in the cradle, right?" The brown-haired man scoffed: "After all, in the future world, Transcendence Power might override everything. With the Black Death God so strong, they feel a sense of crisis." "But even if we kidnap the people related to him, its not guaranteed hell comply, right?" Chapter 411 - 285 Dragon Mama’s Shyness and the Material of Eternal Ice_3 Chapter 411: Chapter 285 Dragon Mamas Shyness and the Material of Eternal Ice_3The brown-haired man shook his head and said, "No, he will." "Why?" "The client relied on some advanced talent to predict his future,, they saw that the Black Death God acted according to their request." "Is that talents prediction accurate?" "Whether its accurate or not doesnt matter; its none of our concern. Our job is to take away a few ordinary people he considers most important and hold them as hostages." "Once he leaves the territory of Xia country, he will face an unprecedented pursuit, and even..." "When do we take action?" "Were just one group. Others have probably already started. To prevent being detected by officials from Xia country, well act at a coordinated time, probably tomorrow? For now, all we need to do is keep a close watch on the target. If the Black Death God doesnt leave that place, then we can declare the mission a failure and only get the participation fee of ten million." "By the way, what about the Black Death Gods parents?" "Someones gone there too, not from our group. Besides, theres also his grandmother in the countryside." "Sss, all this trouble just to kill one person?" "Thats the strongest Dreamland Traveler in the world right now." The brown-haired man sighed lightly and said, "What can we do if hes from Xia country?" ... Eight oclock at night. Near the Water Mirror Garden, at a riverside park. Ai Xin Yue, as a doctoral graduate returning from overseas, quickly reconstructed her shattered worldview based on the explanations given by the two. Ai Xin Yue said with incredulous doubt, "So, you really are the strongest in the world right now?" Luo Xi shook his head and said, "Probably not, Im just the most famous one." For example, Ande definitely has stronger abilities when it comes to a head-to-head fight. Ai Xin Yue glanced at her cousin who had already started to shrink and was now shorter than her, and asked in a low voice, "The most famous... Loli-con?" The corner of Luo Xis mouth twitched as he said, "Can we not talk about this?" "Haha, this sounds so interesting." Ai Xin Yue said with some envy, "Why didnt I get access to Dawn?" "You will, sooner or later," Luo Xi said. "Ah... never mind, my mind is in a mess. Im going home. Can I come back and ask more questions tomorrow?" "Of course." Sear?h the N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Oh, I have one more question." Ai Xin Yue said with a smile, "Do you guys do it at night? Do x" Ai Xue immediately coughed. Luo Xi guiltily shifted his gaze away. He had just done that last night. Ai Xin Yue said with a strange expression, "Xiao Xue becomes so small at night, and you still go through with it... thats really sick." No wonder the profile in that group said that the Black Death Gods original title was Black Loli-con Death God, but thanks to various operations on the part of Xia country, the words Loli-con were removed. Ai Xue took hold of Ai Xin Yues arm and cooed, "Come on, lets not talk about that anymore. Sister Heart Moon, do you need us to take you home?" "No need... Ill take a taxi back." After Ai Xin Yue left, Luo Xi and Ai Xue looked at each other and burst into laughter. "Your cousin wont spread this around, will she?" "No, Sister Heart Moon is very tight-lipped, unlike my mother who posted about you in her Moments in a flash." "Youre really not going back tonight?" "Mm, while I havent shrunk to the point where schoolmates might be caught, we should hurry and find a hotel. Otherwise, if we go to check in at eleven or twelve, the front desk will definitely call the police." "..." ... Eight-thirty. [Welcome to the journey of dreams~] Luo Xi opened his eyes on the warm back of a dragon. Since the afternoon until now, Florecia had taken them out for a stroll, reviving a total of thirty-five Hollow Flowers in the southern region of Shining Country. The areas accessible by the Hollow Flowers remained unknown, though. Once these Hollow Flowers were revived, someone would discover them; letting them try them out would be fine. Despite the Red Dragons speed, completing a circuit of Shining Country wouldnt take long, but Florecia had deliberately slowed down the pace, descending with the three whenever she saw beautiful scenery worth admiring. Although Shining Country boasts of snowscapes, Those cities wouldnt allow them entry. Cat Cat, munching on a pancake, glanced at Luo Xi and said, "Youre back?" By now, she was used to Luo Xi coming and going like this. "Mhm." Luo Xi looked at the sky, now completely darkened, and gently tapped on the Red Dragons scales, saying, "Can we go back?" The Red Dragon below complained discontentedly, "Little Luoxi, you forgot again; call me Mom." "Laurecia Mom..." "Heh heh~" Weier snorted dismissively. What a mother-son charade to put on before them. A garbage mom with designs on her child, and an apparent reluctant but probably very pleased perverted Loli-con. Luo Xi said, "Right, lets detour to Winter City first, I have something to discuss with Hill." Chapter 412 - 286 Dragon Mama’s Extreme: Dragon King’s Sky Collapse (5.4k)_1 Chapter 412: Chapter 286 Dragon Mamas Extreme: Dragon Kings Sky Collapse (5.4k)_1The Eternal World TreeNoah possessed the root attributes of Light and Judgment. The Divine Trees growing upon Noahs root network, despite having completely different powers, all traced their origins back to Noah and would thus receive certain blessings, limitations, and control. When a Divine Tree within the root system was desecrated, Noah would descend divine punishment. Of course, there were ways to circumvent that punishment, such as what Hills foster father did to himspiritually controlling the custodian of the Divine Tree to wield its power. Furthermore, when the True Canon of a Divine Tree was destroyed by a mighty being or an Origin Beast and the scattered power was absorbed, Noahs Tree would similarly not bring down divine punishment. This was what Rat King Noss had intended to do initially. If it had been in the past, for an Archbishop of Noahs church to take over Belgri Town, it probably wouldnt have been difficult. But now, the Origin of the Belgri Divine Tree had been switched to the Lunar Source Canon. Therefore, any attempt for a forcible takeover by the other party was simply impossible. [Ding! Archbishop Xius is sending a forceful takeover request to the Belgri Divine Tree.] [Ding! Archbishop Xius is sending] [Ding! Archbishop] Luo Xi looked somewhat speechlessly at the barrage of text pop-ups before him. Is this never going to end? He thought. Did the Archbishop really think he could hijack his account right under the nose of him, the Lord? Didnt that seem somewhat disrespectful? In other words, did he really think he could use the sword of the former dynasty to execute the official of the current one? Was he dreaming too beautifully? [Ding! The synchronized time granted by the Belgri Records for today has ended. Traveler, we welcome your return next time~] Before Luo Xi could even make a move to check out the situation, everything before him went dark, and his consciousness was kicked out of the Dream World. But thats not a big issue. Luo Xi still had one use of his Talent: Immersion left for today. He sat up from the bed and checked his phone for the time. Sar?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Eleven forty. "Did you sort it out, senior?" Little Ai Xue, who was lying on the bed browsing through texts and watching television, blinked and deliberately leaned in closer, rubbing Luo Xis arm with her small body. To keep Ai Xues parents from noticing her abnormalities, the two had checked into a hotel around nine oclock. Even so, the receptionist at the hotel looked at Luo Xi as if he were a bustard. One could imagine: a twenty-something-year-old youth taking a girl who looked like a middle schooler to book a double room... If not for the confirmation that Ai Xues ID was real, even though she did look too young, they probably would have called the police on the spot. As for now, if Luo Xi were to take Ai Xues ID and check into a hotel with her again, the receptionist would definitely call the police. Are you telling me this is a twenty-something-year-old girl? Who are you fooling? She does look somewhat similar, probably the younger sister of the girl on this ID! "I have to go back there one more time." Luo Xi shook his head, opened his Talents column, and prepared to use his talent to synchronize with the Dream World once again. "Its so late and youre still going, senior?" Ai Xue nudged Luo Xis hand with her head and said with a flush, "Senior, since youve already tried from small to big last night, dont you want to experience what it feels like going from big to small?" After saying this, the young girl was completely red-faced, and a touch of crimson spread to her delicate neck. Luo Xi: "..." Although it was already quite late, and there were only twenty minutes left until midnight, he felt oddly tempted. It wasnt that he preferred younger ones, but he did want to know what it felt like. [Note: Dont make excuses for lecherous behavior! Scumbag Traveler, youre becoming more and more criminal! Take him away!] Shoo! Luo Xi still shook his head. Time in the Dream World flowed concurrently with reality. Even though texts informed him what was happening over there, Luo Xi had grown accustomed to personally handling the characters. Relaying through texts brought too little information. "Alright then... you go ahead and take care of your business over there first, senior." Ai Xue sounded somewhat disheartened as she got off the bed. She had thought her senior would be quite interested in her gradually getting smaller. The girl leaned against the window of the hotel, seeing her own reflection in the glass. Senior doesnt want to hurt her, right? Its completely impossible to want to get inside at this time, unless the senior shrank several times over, emmmm... lets forget it. Ai Xue did the math with her fingers, murmuring to herself: "I can add one point to both Strength and Physique each time." "Should be three times a day? Even if senior doesnt give it, I can just sneakily eat it... Anyway, hes always synced with the Dreamland." "In this way, that means I can add 21 points to both Strength and Physique in a week. I wonder if theres a limit to the increase later on, but it doesnt matter. Go for it, Ai Xue! I believe you can do it!" ... [Do you wish to use Talent: Immersion (Happiness)?] [Yes] [You have spent 2000 Happiness Points.] [Immersion (Happiness): Under this state, your character will receive a +200% increase in Strength, and you will gain +200% Resistance to negative spirit-based skills. This talent can last for a maximum of twenty minutes.] [Welcome to the journey of dreams~] Luo Xis eyelids fluttered slightly open. This back and forth took him a bit over a minute, but in that time, more than twenty prompts had popped up in the text, all alerts of the Archbishop on the outside trying to steal his account face-to-face. "Whats that sound?" "Wah" "Its not that terrifying black tree again, is it?" The entire towns populace was thrown into panic by the thunderous sound of a vast engine. Chapter 413 - 286 Dragon Mama’s Extreme: Dragon King’s Sky Collapse (5.4k)_2 Chapter 413: Chapter 286 Dragon Mamas Extreme: Dragon Kings Sky Collapse (5.4k)_2The people of Belgri Town have indeed suffered too much hardship recently. The only ones who could stay calm were Luo Xi and some other people from his side. Weier and Aina were both exhausted and really wanted to sleep, but upon hearing the noise, they became alert. They had been numbed by various grand scenes recently, and besides, Luo Xi and his adoptive mother were both here. Florecias golden vertical pupils were flashing slightly as she asked in a soft voice, "Little Luoxi, arent you going out to check? That guy seems to be getting close." "Hmm." Luo Xi snapped his fingers lightly. Aside from the two Craftsmen who were fully engrossed in their repair of Spark, Luo Xi teleported everyone else to the ground. From this location, they could already see a bright, large flying vessel speeding through the night sky, its roaring jet engine-like noise leaving a clear trace with the flames it spurted. As the flying vessel neared the Blessing Glory of Belgri Town, the engine noise suddenly ceased, switching to the sound of propellers, and the large vessel came to a halt about a hundred meters away from Belgri Town. "Its huge!" Weiers eyes widened. The length of that flying vessel was at least fifty meters! This could definitely be classified as a strategic vessel which could, at a pinch, hold hundreds or even thousands of people. It could be used to support other towns, or for conflict between nations, through the deployment of reinforcements and the like. Florecia calmly asked, "Little Luoxi, does Mother need to take action?" There was a human inside with considerable strength, perhaps due to absolute confidence, not bothering to conceal the spilling over of his power. The fluctuation of Yuan Su appeared to reach the high level of Tier Five. If he wanted to destroy this town, he merely needed to unleash his domain world, or let a powerful skill or Skill fall, and everyone here would die instantly. Such a level of sublimated person already stood at an extremely high tier among humans. Luo Xi shook his head and said, "Not for now." The Church of Noah was the absolute authority in the Shining Country, and if possible, he also did not wish to start a conflict with the Church of Noah. He might not care much, but after all, Cat Cat and the others were living in this world; they couldnt always think about how to deal with the Church of Noahs attacks. What if he provoked them, and they sent a bunch of old guys after him? Moreover, the Church of Noah was not some truly evil force. Within such a huge organization, there were bound to be a few rotten elements who sought personal gains through powerthe real world was the same. No matter how harsh the rules and punishments, there would always be a never-ending supply of corrupt officials. That is the evil in human nature. While Luo Xi and the others were watching the flying vessel, Archbishop Xius inside felt baffled, and a hint of gloom appeared on his face. Why had his forceful takeover met no response? Even if the towns Lord had greater strength than him and forcibly rejected his takeover, the Belgri Divine Tree should at least respond to him a little, because he represents the Root, the will of Noah. Xius narrowed his eyes. This town, in his view, had become mysterious. Looking at it this way, Luca died without injustice. A Blue Church Deacon entered the vessels cabin and said respectfully, "Archbishop Xius, we have arrived at our destination. Should we land the flying vessel?" Xius responded solemnly, "No rush, I have not concealed my power fluctuation; I want to see how strong the Lord of this town is. If he is confident enough to confront me, he must be sitting in the town, watching and laughing at me now. If he doesnt have the confidence, he should be coming out to meet me soon." [Ding! The Blessing Glory of the Belgri Divine Tree is encountering a surge of Yuan Su beyond its limit, Power of Divine Tree -500.] Luo Xi had intended to wait for the other party to make the first move. As soon as the text notification appeared, he couldnt hold back any longer. Losing 500 Power of Divine Tree per second? Thats outrageous! Luo Xi said to Dragon Lady, "Ressia Mama, lets head over. But first, maintain your human form, restrain your power. Dont let them discover your identity." He was worried that if they found out they couldnt win, they might decisively run, and if they called in more powerful people next time, that would be troublesome. Luo Xi wanted to reason with them. For instance, that scum bishop, who would hold a beauty selection the moment you meet himwasnt it a good thing for the people if such a man was dead? As for this town changing its Lord, and the Belgri Records replacing the Origin... Although it felt somewhat unethical, this was about saving the world. Whoever wanted to question him should first consult with the worlds grand will and that Damn Text! And the former Lord Andrew of Belgri wasnt a good person either. If the Lord of Belgri Town had been slightly normal, not controlled by Snowworm and Ande, Luo Xi would not have made this town his own. Gilded rings encircled Luo Xi, and he, alongside Florecia, landed on the highest point of the Belgri Divine Tree. They stood on a branch, staring at the colossal flying vessel outside the Blessing Glory. sea??h th N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Luo Xi thought to himself that his old rundown vessel had been worth tens of thousands of gold coins, and this thing, as big as a Boeing 747, must cost a fortune. Xius, seeing two people suddenly appear on the Divine Tree from inside the cabin, had his gloomy old face break into a triumphant fox-like smile. Thought they were quite confident. It seems that is not the case. Without declaring the name of the Church of Noah, he was simply using his oppressive power to impact the Divine Trees Glory and the towns Lord couldnt contain himself anymore. Chapter 414 - 286 Dragon Mama’s Extreme: Dragon King’s Sky Collapse (5.4k)_3 Chapter 414: Chapter 286 Dragon Mamas Extreme: Dragon Kings Sky Collapse (5.4k)_3How could this amount of strength be sufficient to kill the Archbishop of the Noah Church? "Open the hatch." Xius issued the command and then jumped out from the opened hatch, landing atop the airship. Despite the distance of hundreds of meters, Luo Xi and his companion made unobstructed eye contact with Xius. Xius took a serious look. "Hmm?" Two Variants? A man and a woman, both with dragon horns as their distinct Mutated featuresit seemed they were Mutated Transcenders. Dont tell him one of these two was the Lord? Impossible! Before he came here, he had reviewed the Belgri Divine Trees original affiliation with the Andrew family, and even if all the elders of this family were dead and the children had turned into Variants, the Divine Trees rights wouldnt fall to the children who had become Variants. It was an underlying rule engraved in the inheritance pattern of the Divine Tree. From ancient times till now, there had never been a precedent of a Variant becoming a controller of the Divine Tree! So, were these two the enforcers sent by the local Lord here? Anger started bubbling within Xiuss heart. However, as an Archbishop, his control over his emotions was not poor. He guessed it was quite possible that these two were trying to deliberately provoke his anger, to make him strike first. But no matter how strong a Variant could become, it was nearly impossible for Mutated Transcenders to reach a Tier Five level while still in a human form unless they had completely transformed into an Origin Beasts body and completed their advancement in that form. And those who had metamorphosed from a human body into an Origin Beast would be even less likely to obey the Lords orders in some small town. Xius was confident he could crush the skulls of these two with a single slap. But he wouldnt do so. That would be playing into their hands. "Get lost, Variants, and call out the Lord here! Does he know what hes done? Does he know who I am?" In the dark night sky, as the old mans voice resounded solemnly, a thunderous boom burst forth like an angry thunderclap. A dazzling light arose from the body of the old man, forming an enormous eye of light as radiant as the midday sun, hovering over the Divine Tree Glory and gazing down upon the town, shedding what seemed to be warm but actually temperature-less rays of light. Luo Xi frowned slightly. This old geezer seems not to be an easy one to talk to. Click click click Under the watch of the gigantic eye of light, the Power of Divine Tree stored in the Belgri Divine Tree was rapidly depleting, and due to the destructive force exceeding its capacity for support and repair, visible cracks started appearing in the Divine Trees Glory. Luo Xi said softly, "Ressia, Im counting on you, and, try not to kill him." [Note: Traveler, youre certainly getting more adept at calling her mama~] Hmph. After all, theres no one nearby; he could shout a few times if he wanted to. However, Florecia stared straight up at the sky. Several seconds passed before she lowered her head, her ochre-colored vertical pupils flickering uncertainly. Just moments ago, the voice of the Lord had echoed in her ear. "Noahs light has already reached here with His proxy, and the moment He becomes aware of your presence, the force that descends instantly will hit you hard. Have you thought about the consequences of your actions?" "Also, after last night, Alexilita and I went to the starry sky, and what you spoke to was a fraction of my soul I left behind. Do you understand?" Florecia kept silent. Bahamuts intentions were clear. Do not cause trouble before he returns. Otherwise, even if he was willing, he wouldnt be able to come over and help in time. With her strength, dealing with that Tier Five Archbishop was certainly easy, but he represented more than just himself. These Archbishops and Grand Archbishops, to some extent, were proxies of the Eternal World Tree Noah, and this Tier Five Archbishop was capable of invoking divine skills much stronger than those of the human she had punched to death. Luo Xi looked at Florecia with some confusion. What was going on? With her temperament, shouldnt she just go up and give that annoying old man a punch, knocking him down with a single fist? "Little Luoxi, Mamas gone, you all be careful and stay safe," Florecia looked tenderly at the young man beside her with a beautiful smile on her face. Her child was asking for her help. Sar?h the n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. How could she do nothing just because she might get hurt? This disaster was caused by her; therefore, it was only right that she should end it. Luo Xi suddenly felt something was wrong. This was not in Florecias nature. A bad feeling rose in his heart. "Res" Before he could call out Dragon Mamas name, the figure beside him had already vanished from the spot. Immediately after, scorching flames burst out of the golden radiance, carrying the terrifying might to reduce everything in sight to ashes, and slammed forcefully into that eye of light. The eye of light emitted a pitiful scream, snapping into two halves, while Xius covered his eyes and groaned. Under the piercing night wind, only a red-haired dragon-horned girl, covered from head to toe in red scales and brilliant flames, stood suspended in the air. Florecia gazed at Xius on the flying ship and said, "I killed that man; it has nothing to do with the lord of this town. As an agent of the Eternal Divine Tree Noah, his body is filled with unclean light. Has your Noah Church become as sordid as a nest of snakes and rats?" "What are you?!" Xiuss eyes were bloodshot as he roared in rage, his body rising from the flying ship while the ship itself plummeted down. He looked at the dragon-horned girl, his turbid pupils suddenly constricting. This might... A king-rank Dragon Origin Beast? And her Yuan Su fluctuations were far above his. A higher king-rank? Why would a superior dragon species transform into a human and hide in a human town? Was it sheer boredom, or was it planning to rear humans and devour them one by one? But... Xius couldnt help but laugh again. What of the Dragon Origin Beast? This is the Shining Country! Pure light formed a blade in his hand, and he brandished it at the dragon-horned girl who stood with her wings spread and unmoving. The hissing of slicing air and the dazzling light burst forth! Florecia, too, was unexcited. She raised her fist, and the red scales on her arm, originally covered in red, gradually became tainted with black as the red flames turned to black. "Little Luoxi, watch carefully; this is one of Mamas ultimate moves," The soft and crisp voice echoed across the battlefield. "Sky Collapse." As the dragon-horned girls fist, now covered in black scales, collided with the blade of light, Xiuss face changed drastically. The terrifying force that he couldnt resist tore the space apart, shredding the light, and spreading fissures in the air toward him, threatening to swallow him whole! [Ding! You have witnessed the Black Abyss Flame Dragon usingExtreme: Dragon Kings Sky Collapse] [You have acquired the exclusive skill: Extreme: Dragon Kings Sky Collapse] [Description: By mixing the powers of the Red Dragon Species and Black Dragon Species on ones arm, it unleashes incalculable might, with the punchs power amplification reaching up to 9999%] ...

Alexilita stopped and turned to look at the black dragon. "What are you doing?" "I need to go back for a bit, you go find Leviathan," Bahamut flapped his wings, without hesitation, flying back the way he came. Whats the matter with Little Fu? So pigheaded?

(4.8k) _1The black that devours everything and the red that burns it all, when the strengths of two different dragon species fully amalgamated, what was born was a punch resembling the collapse of the heavens. Under Florecias fist, the dazzling light released by the blades shattered as if it were mere paper, and the space ahead fractured with darkness, all being ground into ash. Even if it were merely sheer strength, once it reached a certain level, its might could even destroy space itself. "Sister Weier, shes really amazing..." On the grounds of the estate, Aina, who had witnessed Florecias punch firsthand, sincerely admired her strength. Weier silently nodded. That was a realm they could perhaps never reach, no matter how hard they tried in their lifetimes. Such a powerhouse as an enemy would keep one up at night, but as a companion, she was the most comforting presence. Was she an enemy, or a comrade? Weier thought about the increasingly strange attitude that the Dragon Horn girl was showing towards Luo Xi. For them, on some level, she was both. Mother, child... Weier wondered, both of them were already calling each other with such intimacy, if something were to happen between Luo Xi and her, would there not be a sense of immorality? Meanwhile.

Kobayashi Wild was awakened by a text prompt and controlled his character to step out of the room. Upon seeing the anomaly in the sky, he decisively opened the live Projection. Major forums quickly synchronized Kobayashi Wilds live broadcast video. As the only known Traveler among a million players of "Dawn" with a talent for live broadcasting, he had become a well-known person. Many in real life who knew of "Dawn" but did not have the qualifications to play could only learn about that dream world through the descriptions of other players, so Kobayashi Wilds broadcast was an essential source of information. [Kobayashi Wilds live room is now open] After setting up the broadcast, Kobayashi Wild excitedly spoke to the rapidly entering players and those high-rollers at the front row who frequently gave large donations, "Everyone, good evening, Im Kobayashi Wild, dont ask me why Im broadcasting so late. I feel like something big is about to happen, just take a look for yourselves. As this is a broadcast risking my life, I hereby beg for donations and gifts!"] [Hurricane: Whos fighting? Is it in the sky?] [Bear King: Its so dark, the barrier of the Divine Tree Glory is blocking the view; we cant really see clearly from below, plus its too high.] [White: Hey, it lit up! Whats that, a huge hand made of light? Ha, it just got shattered instantly.] [Argo: From the looks of this commotion, its explosive. Hey, is the Black Death God here?] [Heart of the Deep Sea: Wasnt there a theory circulating that he might be the Lord of this town? Surely hes here, right? There seems to be someone floating on the Divine Tree, is that silhouette him?] [Dead Soul: One of those two up there fighting wouldnt happen to be the Red Dragon mount of the Black Death God? And from the others released abilities, this eye-catching technique, could be someone from the Noah Church?] [Masked Rider No.1: Shiny techniques, probably are from the Noah Church. But Black Death God going against Noah Church? That sounds dangerous, thats the biggest church in the Shining Country, not easy to mess with.] [White Dragon Gore: Thats a Tier Five sovereign Dragon Origin Beast, what are you all worried about? The ones on the other side should be worried, right?] Kobayashi Wild was pleased to watch as gifts continuously flowed in his live room. Today was yet another day he would eat his fill. But... is the Black Death God the Lord here? Kobayashi Wild froze for a moment before realizing the truth. Then he erupted with anger. After the Snowworm disaster caused by the previous Lord Andrew had somehow ended, someone suddenly took over the town as Lord; did the Black Death God employ some method to get his hands on the town? He just happened to have a dispute with that guy, so the Black Death God exercised his Rights over him? No wonder he had been forcibly confined in this town for so long by a dog Lord hed never seen, and made to work for nothing every day! Kobayashi Wild couldnt hold back his rage as he shouted, "Black Death God, you and I are irreconcilable!" [Bear King: ???] [Argo: 666, brother, youre getting stronger and stronger.] [sensei: Dont die on us, big brother of the live broadcast] In a flash, a flurry of astonished Symbols from various countries fluttered through the live room. "That, everyone, just pretend I didnt say that, it was just a joke," Kobayashi Wild laughingly explained, then continued shooting the scene. The rise of the Black Death God was unstoppable. He sure didnt want to find death. If he had to be trapped, so be it; at least he had material to broadcast, right? "You..." Xius looked at the light blade in his hand shattered by a punch and couldnt help but gasp. His slightly aged face turned incredibly stiff, and had it not been for the mighty tree shadow resembling one that propped up heaven and earth appearing around him when the fists force spread to him, shielding his entire body, he probably would have been smashed deep into the ground from afar, with at least serious injuries. Is this what it means to be a high sovereign of the Dragon Species? Indeed, in terms of pure power, the Dragon Species stood atop all known creatures, the pinnacle of those at the same Tier. The churchs records stated that if humans encountered a Dragon Origin Beast in the wild, without at least five fully armed and strong individuals of the same Tier on the human side, they couldnt possibly stand a chance against an Origin Beast of the same Tier. Chapter 416 - 287: Boy, want to save your mom? I grant you strength! (4.8k)_2 Chapter 416: Chapter 287: Boy, want to save your mom? I grant you strength! (4.8k)_2Dont say that his Tier was still one Tier behind that of this dragon in plain sight. Once an Origin Beast reached the level of a King-Tier, each minor Tier advancement entailed a major transformation in life intensity and strength; he estimated that even ten of his current selves wouldnt be enough. So, it seemed that he could only resort to Divine Skills. Xius was slowly gathering power within himself, preparing to use the belief he had collected as an Archbishop to summon the Projection of the Eternal World TreeNoahs Arrival. sea??h th N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. But this would take time. Xius asked in a hoarse voice, "Why would such a powerful Dragon King like yourself lurk in such a small town?" Florecia did not strike again. She gazed at Xius with her fiery golden vertical pupils, shaking her somewhat numb arm, and said coldly: "I was merely using my vacation time to accompany my child, its you who have disturbed my holiday!" Xius: "???" What a mess. Dragons have vacation time? And whats this about a child? Do high-tier Origin Beasts have children? Dont they just scatter their factors and produce a bunch of Mutant Patients? If Variants can be considered children, then wouldnt all the Variants on this continent have Origin Beasts as parents? Xius said somberly, "I dont understand what youre talking about. Let me change the question, then. Why did you insult the Noah Church, and why did you kill our churchs bishop?" Florecia fluttered her wings and hovered ten meters away from Xius. After a moment of thought, she said, "I had no intention of insulting your Noah Church. As for what those people you sent last time wanted to do, you can go and ask the residents of this town. Just because the news of his jj being bitten off got out, they crazily wanted to destroy this town. Dont you think such a person deserves to die?" "Lucas jj was bitten off?" Xius listened, utterly bewildered, and the Divine Skill he had been cultivating slowed down slightly. However, the next moment, he understood. No matter what Luca had done or encountered, no one but the Noah Church itself could judge him. And the fact that a Dragon Origin Beast was hiding in this town, and the Lord of this town was complicit with the beast without reporting it, was a sin most grave! "Theres no point in discussing this further. Once I apprehend you, well have the City of Light conduct an interrogation." Xius lifted his finger, his silver pale hair being tousled by the wind, his lips began to move slightly, a chant-like illusionary voice arose amidst the winds of the entire town. "From the ancient times, as the morning light first appears, the old Eternal Tree, cast your gaze here, and with eternal light judge all sins. Before judgment arrives, the sinners themselves must first face trial..." In the forums live stream, almost everyone who heard this chanting voice fell into a brief trance. Some people blushed and scratched their bodies, typing words in the barrage while their eyes looked dazed. "I am guilty, Ive stolen over a hundred electric scooters..." "Im also guilty, Ive deceived pure-hearted girls..." "My sins are heavy, Ive assaulted lizards at the zoo..." Kobayashi Wild was also mumbling to himself, speaking strange words about how he once stole his sisters panties when he was in elementary school. [Bear King: Quick, those with low Intelligence attributes, stop watching the live stream. Turn it off!] [Argo: Right, turn off the live stream, but I think the person confessing earlier is from India, right?] Soon, the administrators of the live stream who realized something was wrong cut off Kobayashi Wilds live feed. Outside the room where Kobayashi Wild was in reality, hasty footsteps were heard, and a few seconds later, a team burst in, kicking over the projecting device in front of him and slapping his face several times. "Damn it! Wake up! What the hell did you do!?" "Huh?" Kobayashi Wild returned to his senses with a bewildered look on his face. He had no idea what he had just said. This time, it was the people in reality who for the first time discovered that the powerful beings of the Dream World could severely affect reality, even from another world. Luo Xi narrowed his eyes slightly. He, too, had heard the voice that spread with the wind like a death curse. But it had no effect on him. Under the Immersion: Happy 200% bonus, his bare Intelligence attribute was 192 points. Any ability to influence the mind, after being weakened by the blessing of the Belgri Divine Tree, had a minimal effect on him. But that might not be the case for others. Luo Xi took a light step and made his way toward the manor. Cat Cat and Aina were both sobbing, holding their heads, while Chu Tian was also mumbling in a mental breakdown. "Aina was right, sister is a usless person, sister cant do anything at all." "Sob, Aina is also an idiot, always troubling sister, Aina shouldnt have had the thought of tying Brother Luo Xi in the basement and keeping him for herself, nor should she always be scaring brother with a knife..." "Im guilty, Im a Loli-con for married beast-eared women, wanting to hit on any pretty married older woman I see, and Ive abandoned the bunny-eared older sister..." Luo Xi: "..." If this self-judgement could be recorded, it would certainly be a record of social death! Luckily, this had no effect on him. If it did, what nonsense would he be babbling? [Note: Need we say it, it would surely be: Im a pervert Loli-con who would make a move on Lolitas, a scumbag who deserves to be locked up in prison for life. Please, let the light judge my sins! Chapter 417 - 287, Boy, Do You Want to Save Your Mother? I Bestow Upon You Strength! (4.8k) _3 Chapter 417: Chapter 287, Boy, Do You Want to Save Your Mother? I Bestow Upon You Strength! (4.8k) _3Shut up, Damn Text! The situation above looked grim. Luo Xi squinted up at it. The self-judgment was probably just a preliminary effect; the old mans chanting continued beside Luo Xis ear. In fact, Florecia had already transformed into a dragon tens of meters in size the moment the chanting began and spat out a huge fireball in an attempt to interrupt the spell, but the projection of the Divine Tree that appeared around the Archbishop blocked her attack. Was that the Projection of the Eternal World Noah? No wonder the defense was so strong. Even though the situation still seemed to favor Florecia, Luo Xi had a bad feeling that something unpleasant was about to happen. The higher-ups of the church were closely related to the Eternal World Tree, and according to the information Luo Xi had now, it was one of the most powerful entities in the world, not to mention a deity of the Dream World. Each Eternal Divine Tree has blessed countless people. Yet, it seemed they lacked sufficient wisdom to assess the quality of their followers. If Noah had any sense, it wouldnt have chosen scum like Luca to be a bishop, right? Luo Xi clenched his fists. He wanted to rush out and smash his fists into that old mans face. But reason told him it was a futile gesture. The others strength far exceeded his own, and rashly engaging would only be suicide, potentially even becoming a liability for Dragon Lady. Damn Text, no, Big Brother, are you there? [Note: A Damn Text when not needed, a Big Brother when in trouble. I see right through you, garbage Traveler, hm... Well, Im helpless too. These Eternal Divine Trees represent the power and laws of this world, and that Big Silly (crossed out) is the only one who can manage. His limit is to maintain the fusion of both worlds and the fundamental operation of the Dream World. He really cant control these rebellious children, and all I can do is secretly pluck a feather once in a while~] So, is there really no way to deal with these Eternal World Trees? Luo Xi thought of the two Origins on his person. They were essentially also once Eternal World Trees; could it be... [Note: The gap is too big, a crown without roots is ultimately a tree without soil. I suggest you remake and lead people to run away, theres much more operability in that~] Luo Xi was stunned. About ten minutes were left until midnight. If he could turn back the time of today, he would indeed be able to take some important people away before the Archbishop arrived. As for where to go, there were plenty of options, and if all else failed, he could take them to the coast near Dragon Mamas place. But this meant that Luo Xi had to give up the town he had finally obtained and abandon most of its residents. Luo Xi fell silent. At that moment, the battle above intensified. When Florecia realized that the other side intended to accumulate power for some terrifying Divine Skill by playing defensively, she no longer held back and reverted to her original form, a giant dragon of a hundred meters. In an instant, the sky was filled with crimson flames, contrasting with the pure light, creating a stark opposition. The clash produced a brilliant light that could scorch the eyes of ordinary people, and all of Belgri Town was as bright as daylight. The Red Dragon raised her forepaw; black and red flames intermingled in her hand, spreading out. She used her true form to deliver an Extreme Sky Break, a punch that could destroy a place like Winter City with ease, and struck the old man enveloped in the projection of the Divine Tree. The brutal light and flames accompanied by a massive roar gave the impression of a solar explosion. While everyone else couldnt look up, only Luo Xi barely managed to keep his eyes open to survey the battlefield. The chant that lingered in the wind grew deeper, but it hadnt stopped and seemed to be reaching its conclusion. Luo Xis heart sank. A hoarse voice of an old man slowly rose. "Eternal Noah, please descend here and deliver the judgment of light." From that unfathomably distant place, that giant tree connecting heaven and earth, a ray of light headed this way. In an instant, the projection of the Eternal World Tree Noah, much smaller in size but still a kilometer large, rose up on the battlefield. Countless dazzling lights shot out from the projection of the Divine Tree toward the apparently stunned Florecia, but she wasnt actually stunned; light is inherently the fastest thing in the world, and despite Florecia being fast, it wasnt easy to dodge. Luo Xi clearly saw that upon contact, her scales began to melt like snow in sunlight, revealing the flesh beneath. He couldnt stay put any longer. It looked like they had lost this time; even the invincible Dragon Mama was defeated by the other sides summoning spell. Clashing with a force like Noahs Church at such a level was clearly not a wise move. But Luo Xi remembered that Florecia had mentioned before that if a conflict of this scale really happened, the Lord behind her wouldnt ignore it. So why hadnt they shown up yet? Forget it, maybe it was indeed time to start over... Luo Xi raised his hand to his temple. Suddenly, a muffled voice sounded beside Luo Xis ear. "Kid, wanna go up and save your mama?" "If you do, take that scale I gave you back then." S~ea??h the n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "I, bless you with strength!" The voice was extremely domineering, with an attitude that brooked no denial. ----- One more Chapter of 4k words Chapter 418 - 288: This is the Invincible Cheat Given by Grandpa Black Dragon! (4.2k)_1 Chapter 418: Chapter 288: This is the Invincible Cheat Given by Grandpa Black Dragon! (4.2k)_1Luo Xi: "?" Where is this voice coming from? Wait a minute. Take the scale I gave you back then... Could it be, the person conveying this voice... the dragon, is it that Black Dragon, Bahamut?! Florecia also mentioned it, what she referred to as Lord is that black dragon. She even gave him a bit of trouble over a fragment of Black Dragons scale she obtained, nearly creating a blushing debacle. Luo Xi suspected that the time he unknowingly took off in the airship and ascended ten thousand meters into the High Sky, meeting the Black Dragon and being saved by it in one breath, was not a coincidence at all. However, Luo Xi was somewhat puzzled. If you want to save Florecia, why not go up there yourself? Why grant me power? Though he was perplexed internally, there was not the slightest hesitation in Luo Xis actions. He immediately took out the fragment of Bahamuts scale from his Dreamland baggage. [Fragment of Bahamuts Scale] [Quality: Gold (Legend-)] [Category: Special Material] [Property: Top-quality forging material, if handled by a Craftsman of Master level or above, equipment of epic quality can certainly be forged] [Description: Black Dragon Bahamut appreciates mortals like you who are so weak yet dare to gaze into the Abyss. This is a small gift from it to you, perhaps there will be a day of reunion] Even just a scale fragment boasts the golden echelon of [Legend-], its unimaginable how precious the rest of the Black Dragons materials must be. The fragmented scale twinkled faintly, those bizarre patterns emitting dark golden radiance, connecting with each other. That muffled voice rang out next to Luo Xis ear once again. "Dont ask me why I dont take action, Im still on my way back. Does traveling not take time? You little brats really do like to stir up trouble." "And dont ask me why I chose you. Little Fus power is mainly of the Red Flame Species, borrowing my power would deal heavy damage to her roots, so, kid, get up there and hold out for a bit. The power this scale can bear from me is limited; just drag on as long as you can." Luo Xi: "..." He hesitated and asked softly, "This wont deal me heavy damage, will it?" "Ah? Of course, it wont deal heavy damage." "Oh." "Youll probably just die outright." S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Hmm?!" "Quit your fussing, I know youre a Traveler from another world. The great Dao has given people like you the trait of immortality, dying one or two times is no big deal." "Besides, as a child, can you bear to see your mom suffer? Your mom faced even Noahs Tree for your sake, you wouldnt want to be unfilial, right?" "..." Suddenly, Luo Xi felt the image of the Black Dragon collapse in his mind. What grand and unfathomable, Abyssal Dragon Emperor, Ancient Dragon... Forget it, why does this Black Dragon seem like a con artist? "You dont need to provoke me like this." Luo Xi chuckled softly: "Ive never thought to just stand by and watch. Also, you keep saying your mom; you dont actually think I am Florecias child, do you? Or is that how all dragons recognize their offspring? If so, may I address you as Grandpa?" "The little brat whos being a nuisance can just drop dead." The Black Dragon replied unsparingly. [Note: Bratty Traveler, you really are one to climb along the pole given to you, having a Dragon Mama isnt enough, you also want a Grandpa Black Dragon?] A twitch appeared at the corner of Luo Xis mouth. That would require the other partys agreement, though. Honestly, compared to calling Florecia mom, Luo Xi would rather call Bahamut grandpa, not only because the Black Dragon is stronger, but also because calling him grandpa feels less dissonant. "Enough talk, are you ready?" The voice of Bahamut rang out once more. A terrifying power was transmitted from the distant Void, passing through this piece of black scale as a conduit and infused into Luo Xis body. [Ding! Traveler, an unknown power has entered your body] [Your Strength +100, +100, +100...] [Your Physique +100, +100, +100...] [Your Intelligence +100, +100, +100...] [Your Agility +100, +100, +100...] [Your factor trait: Dark Devouring has been fully activated] [Skill: Dragonization LV2 has been temporarily elevated to Dragonization MAX] Luo Xi felt as if his body no longer belonged to him, becoming icy and bone-chilling. A trait entirely different from the scorching flames possessed by the Red Dragon Species was fervently establishing itself inside him. Flesh, bones, and meridians were destroyed in the blink of an eye, and in a moments time, rebuilt by powerful forces. Luo Xi couldnt even feel the pain reaching his cerebral cortex before his body, in the throes of destruction, grew stronger. Dragon Wings, Dragon Tail, Dragon Scalesall features of dragonization manifested on his body. At the same time, a dark shade seeped forth from within him, flowing to cover his body. The dark golden scale underwent a transformation, melding into his flesh. As Luo Xi started moving with effort, the dark golden glow of the scale surfaced again, forming exceedingly regular patterns on his skin, shimmering with a cold, golden light. The power of destruction in Luo Xis chest suppressed his original flames and continued to devour his life force, all traces of red symbolizing the Red Dragon were completely effaced from his body. This was the power from Black Dragon Bahamut, a symbol of destruction and devouring, even a minuscule portion of it had successfully manifested within the Traveler from the Otherworld. In Luo Xis groggy ears, the voice cried out in astonishment. Chapter 419 - 288: This is the Invincible Cheat Given by Grandpa Black Dragon! (4.2k)_2 Chapter 419: Chapter 288: This is the Invincible Cheat Given by Grandpa Black Dragon! (4.2k)_2"How can it adapt so well?" Xius sneered as he watched the King of the Red Dragons restrained by the projection of Noah Divine Tree. Origin Beasts, they are just Origin Beasts after all. Although most of the high-tier Origin Beasts were once beings like humans from the surface, after transforming into Origin Beasts, they are no longer human. Which intelligent person would knowingly hit a snag and keep fighting a losing battle? This King of the Red Dragons obviously had many chances to leave. She wanted to go, but she simply couldnt. Foolish Origin Beast. Xius said in a stern voice, "I recognize that it has not been easy for you to live until now. Come back with me and serve as the Guardian Holy Beast of Shining City for a thousand years, and I promise I wont harm your life!" Upon hearing these words, Florecia struggled furiously, trying to tear off the bands of light from Noahs projection that were binding her. Xius shook his head with some regret. Although Luca died, if he could bring back a high-ranking kings dragon to guard the Shining City, that would be quite nice. What a pity. The Black Abyss Flame Dragon let out a roar at Xius. The hot world began to unfold around him. The world, filled with a sea of lava, appeared before his eyes. Gravity disappeared, buoyancy disappeared, and his body fell downward. The magma turned bright red, and the temperature suddenly rose by thousands of degrees. "A Domain World, huh? Thats useless against me." Xiuss aged face broke into a smug smile as he chanted, "Oh Noah Divine Tree, I beseech you to use the light to break through the darkness!" The projection of Noahs Tree suddenly brightened, the brilliant and dazzling world of light quickly replaced the sea of magma before him. Roar! Florecia let out a low growl. "Roots of Flame!" Deep blue flames spewed out of her mouth, and this time, they finally succeeded in igniting the light tendrils, but she quickly felt a strong sense of fatigue. Lord Alexilita had said that using this flame against someone of a higher tier might backfire, and the consumption of her souls power would also be extraordinarily great. Using it against a sixth-order The Dark Void Tree was problematic enough, not to mention the Eternal World Tree, even if what was here was just a projection. Florecia stopped spewing flames, but the erosion of the light tendrils binding her continued to intensify. With her abilities, she could still hold out for a while, but defeat was only a matter of time. She strained to lower her head, trying to convey her voice below, to tell Luoxi and the others to leave quickly. However, from below, a force that felt familiar and awe-inspiring came to her. That power, the source of that power was... "Whoosh! " In the Red Dragons disbelief, a small figure flew out from below and landed beside her. The figure was covered in pitch-blackness, with only dark golden lines climbing up its body, from dragon wings to dragon tail, to dragon horns, forming the outline of his body. Suddenly, the facewhich was completely darka pair of dazzling golden vertical pupils opened fiercely, looking so sharp, not like those of a human. He slowly raised a hand, replacing a knife with his palm, and after casually making several cuts, black destructive aura leaked out, easily severing the light vines that were coiled around Florecia. "Who are you?" Florecia quickly shifted her form, once again becoming human. Delicate red scales replaced clothing, covering her tempting body. "Im Luoxi," Luoxi replied with a smile. "Is it really you, Little Luoxi? What did Lord Bahamut do to you?" Sarch* The ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The dragon horn girl looked at Luoxis body with concern. After pondering for a moment, Luoxi said, "Nothing much, just used one life to enable a cheat?" Florecia: "???" "Anyway, theres no problem." Luoxi laughed and said, "You know, Ressia Mom, I cant die." At that moment, he felt exceptionally good about the state of his body. Although his life wouldnt last much longer. He looked at the attribute panel text that appeared before his eyes.

Please make good use of your time, otherwise, you will certainly perish when your time is up~] Luo Xi: "." Such terrifying power completely redefined Luo Xis understanding of the term "strength." However, he found that even though his strength stat had broken past ten thousand, he likely still couldnt match Dragon Mama in terms of strength alone. He had a skill boost, and surely Florecia did too. He could easily cut through those beams of light due to the destructive aura within his body. On the other side, Xiuss countenance became ferocious. What is that thing? How dare it defy the existence of the Eternal World Tree Noah right before his eyes! And even dare to speak as if nothing was wrong? As if he didnt exist at all? "Who are you! Are you another Dragon Origin Beast lurking in this town?" Xius inquired. But Luo Xi couldnt be bothered to respond. Xius grew even more irate. In an instant, dazzling light flared up again. Luo Xis pitch-black body, under the illumination of the light, finally revealed pure black dragon scales and some details of his physique, with dark golden lines like magical circuits traversing and connecting his entire body. Xius stood firm, bellowing, and countless swords condensed from light emerged from the tree, flying toward the two people suspended in midair. Florecia wanted to defend, but Luo Xi stopped her. He directly charged forward, attracting the light toward him. The beams of light flew towards and penetrated his body. Then, not a single sound was emitted. Luo Xi merely had some bloodstains on his face. Nonchalantly, he raised his hand, wiped the blood from his face, then stepped into the void. His dragon wings flapped, and he appeared right in front of Xius, raising his fist. Now that the power of the Red Dragon Species was suppressed, only the Black Dragons power remained within Luo Xi. Thus, the Collapsing Fist transformed into "Black Dragons Destructive Collapsing Fist." Power that Luo Xi couldnt fathom oozed from his fist, striking the old face and blasting him away fiercely to a place many kilometers away. Boom! A small mountain seemed to collapse because of that. "You... how dare you!" A light turned into a shooting star and flew back from there. Only rage and ferocity were on the old mans face, which appeared unharmed; it seemed he wasnt injured at all. Luo Xi glanced at his own fist. The power of the Black Dragon surpassed his imagination, and even though it only transferred through the scales to reinforce his body, it allowed him to casually send the Archbishop flying with one punch. If the other party hadnt cheated and harnessed the Eternal World Tree Noah, he probably would have been killed by that punch. Xius began to chant a new Divine Skill. "O Light, strengthen my body, for that wickedness requires my judgment!" Having quickly finished chanting the Divine Skill, Xius took a step toward Luo Xi. From Noahs Tree, an infinite amount of light converged on his body and fists. He refused to believe that, even with the Projection of Noah summoned, he could lose in a head-to-head fight! He was going to repay that person with the same humiliation he had just endured! Luo Xi clenched his fingers, grasping his fist, and took a small step back. Fist against fist! Light against darkness! In the thunderous boom, light and darkness each claimed half of the sky, and in the end, it was Xius retreating a step that marked the conclusion of this punch-for-punch duel, as both were sent flying by the impact wave, shaking the protective glow above the town below to the brink of collapse. Why? Why was he the one being suppressed? Archbishop Xius roared in anger, demanding, "What is this?" The corner of Luo Xis mouth curved into a delighted arc. "Its a cheat, courtesy of Grandpa Black Dragon!" Florecia: "???" Xius: "???" Chapter 420 - 289 Dragon Mama: Grandpa? So what did Mom become? (6.4k)_1 Chapter 420: Chapter 289 Dragon Mama: Grandpa? So what did Mom become? (6.4k)_1Silence. Long, lingering silence. After Luo Xi finished speaking, it wasnt just Xius, who was surrounded and protected by the light of Noahs Tree, but also Florecia behind him, who fell into a daze. What on earth is this silly child talking about? Amidst the dissipating and flashing red flames, Florecia approached Luo Xi and asked somewhat nervously, "Um, Little Luo Xi, who is this Grandpa Black Dragon you mentioned? It couldnt be Lord Bahamut, could it?" Luo Xi saw a hint of panic on the face of the girl with the dragon horns. Um? Why are you panicking like this? He inexplicably felt that this little Dragon Lady was starting to become kind of cute... Actually, when he accidentally petted her tail during the day, her intensely shy reaction greatly improved Luo Xis impression of this makeshift Dragon Mama. Even if she was an eight thousand-year-old monarch-tier dragon species, she started as a girl, after all. In the long eons, aside from humans with her bloodline factor or other high-tier Origin Beasts, wouldnt ordinary people want to kneel at the sight of her? [Note: An eight-thousand-year-old girl (X), an ultimate Lolita granny ()] Damn text, youre courting death! "Is it really him or not!" Florecia shook Luo Xis hand again. Luo Xi glanced at the Archbishop and nodded. If he took back what he had said in front of the enemy, wouldnt it just make him a laughing stock? "It really is..." The flames on the resplendent red hair of the girl with dragon horns faded, her scales slowly turning white as she murmured dejectedly, "If Little Luo Xi calls Bahamut Lord grandpa, then what should Mama call you, Little Luo Xi? Little master? Or little young master?" "That would all be messed up, wouldnt it?" Luo Xi: "?" What does it matter? Isnt the term mama used simply because the source of the Mutant Factor in my body is you? I have your Mutant Factor and part of the Black Dragons Strength in me, so if I can call you mama, calling the Black Dragon grandpa shouldnt be a big problem, right? That makes sense, doesnt it? Florecia grabbed Luo Xis shoulders and began shaking them vigorously as she said with tearful eyes, "Its so weird, why would Bahamut Lord agree to you calling him grandpa, Little Luo Xi? Mama hasnt had the pleasure of having a childs company for long, am I going to be robbed of that pleasure? I dont want such a thing to happen!" "Little Fu, listen to this human babbling nonsense. When did I ever agree to him calling me grandpa! Whos competing with you for a child? Do you think I have that much free time?" The gruff voice roared impatiently beside the girls ear. Florecia was startled. "Lord, youre here?" Hearing that familiar and authoritative voice, along with the denying words, she immediately felt much more relieved. Good, good. As long as it wasnt those Lords contending with her for the child, she still had some confidence. Whoever dared to steal her child under her watch would have to pay a bloody price! Florecia clenched her fist and knocked on Luo Xis chest, producing a clear impact sound. "Naughty child, daring to deceive mama; Lord Bahamut, hes a great being who has traversed from a distant era, whose experiences are not even less than those of the Eternal World Tree. How could he possibly recognize you as a grandson!" "This..." Luo Xi laughed somewhat awkwardly. Thank goodness the Black Dragon isnt here. Otherwise, he felt like he could dig out a three-bedroom apartment. As the two dragon humanoids were speaking, the wrinkled-skinned Xius clenched his fists, his fingernails almost crushing his palms. I dont care about your mommies, grandpas, sons, and grandsons! Sear?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Could you please show some respect to this two-hundred-year-old elder!? Am I invisible to you? And whats this about Bahamut, trying to scare whom, as if! As the Colorful Dragon Emperor, who only appears in epics and legends, its been who knows how long since he last showed up on the Pan Continent, do you think pulling a connection with him will make me scared? He hoarsely roared, "What do you take me for! Bahamut, Colorful Dragon Emperor? If you have the guts, let him show up!" Luo Xi pondered for a moment and said, "Dont rush it, hes on his way, will be at your doorstep shortly." Xius: "?" The old mans eyes twitched as he reached out his hand, and suddenly, the light-formed gravity instantly pulled both Luo Xi and Florecia several dozen meters. A piercing light descended from the sky, like a plummeting sun! Luo Xi and Florecia threw punches at the same time. The Projection of Noahs Divine Tree bloomed! In an instant, three terrifying forces collided, refracting outwardone tore through the night skys cloud layer, another rushed towards the town below, and a third exploded on the ground plane. Seeing the peril, Luo Xi immediately teleported in front of the town, instinctively emitting a black roar wave. Xius sneered, watching the black entity below with a cold smile. An incarnation of the Black Dragon Species? He tilted his head, avoiding a fiery blaze spat by the Red Dragon, roughly estimating the combat strength of these two dragons. Without Noahs Projection called forth, even ten of them would be useless against him. But now, it was different; he had absolute confidence! So, let there be judgement. The Projection of Noah blazed with dazzling white light behind him. Night turned into day, and the light, unblocked in all directions, enveloped Luo Xi and the Dragon Lady, casting its brilliance over tens of kilometers around them. Chapter 421 - 289 Dragon Mama: Grandpa? Then what becomes of mom? (6.4k)_2 Chapter 421: Chapter 289 Dragon Mama: Grandpa? Then what becomes of mom? (6.4k)_2Luo Xi raised his arms, attempting to defend himself, and then heard the old mans chanting carried by the wind. "O mighty Noahs Tree, enumerate their sins! Let these two sin-filled Dragon Origin Beasts face Your judgment! Divine Skill, Light of Judgment!" Luo Xi responded subconsciously, "At this point, can you even keep count?" Florecia: "???" What nonsense is this silly child spouting now? She wanted to protect Luo Xi. Although the child had received some power from Lord Bahamut, it was clear he wasnt adept at wielding it. Yet, the sky turned to daylight, which immobilized her body. On the other side, Luo Xi looked at the text prompt in front of him with some helplessness. [Ding! Talent: Immersion will end in 10s] No wonder the Black Dragon had only asked him to delay for a bit. Did it anticipate that even with enhanced strength, he wouldnt be able to handle the opponent? This cheat is not very good, huh? Since Im going to die anyway, why not give me an instant-kill cheat? The moment the Talent timer ended, Luo Xi immediately utilized the refreshed sync rights of the Divine Tree. However, the aura around his body suddenly dropped significantly. Having lost the 200% bonus, Luo Xis strength and physique were now only just over five thousand. But in reality, strength and physique were external factors; the true power within Luo Xi was the authority accompanying the strength of the Black Dragon. "The sins committed by all living beings will not dissipate." Xius spoke coldly amidst the white light as if he were a deity: "You two dragons are pleased with yourselves far too soon. Any sins youve committed, under the illumination of Noahs Tree, you cant hide. It will judge you based on these and mete out the final judgment!" Luo Xi roared, "Why dont you use such a righteous force on yourselves?" Xius uttered in a hoarse voice, "The Noah Church knows no sin. Even if there is, its for us to judge, not for outsiders to interfere." "Just accept the judgment, I will be here to watch you two meet your demise." In front of Luo Xi, bright and pure white light emerged, with various illusory images flashing through his mind. He tried to invoke the destructive power of the Black Dragon within him to break this peculiar Divine Skill, but no matter how hard he struggled, the images did not dissipate. Instead, they became more vivid and clear. Xius did not seize the opportunity to attack; he was waiting for the outcome of the Divine Skill: Judgment. This Divine Skill was entirely up to Noah to determine. It was a wide-area Divine Skill of broad scope, and during this time, as the maintainer, he could not intervene, otherwise he would be considered part of the judgment as well. He slowly looked down at the town below. The Lord had not come out from beginning to end. Sear?h the novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Was he still hiding inside? The two dragons that had appeared were at least high-tier lords. The Lord here seems very unsteady. Fortunately, it was he who came this time, thwarting the Lords conspiracy. The Noah Church cannot be humiliated; the Shining Country will not allow Lords to collude with Origin Beasts! Xius took a forceful step. The Blessing Glory of the Belgri Divine Tree had already reached its carrying capacity and, like porcelain dropped on the ground, shattered, with golden sparks being covered by white light. - "Go, search for where the Lord here is hiding, lure him to act, but dont harm the locals indiscriminately." Receiving the command communicated through the air, a group of church priests, dressed in white and blue, descended from the airship and walked toward the town devoid of the Shining Blessing. Even the weakest among these people was a Third-tier sublimated person. There was only one at Tier Four, and that was an initiate. This didnt mean the Archbishops entourage was weak. After all, most at Tier Four were already eligible for the position of Bishop or even Archbishop, able to manage branches in the major towns. Moreover, Xius did not report this mission in advance; had he done so, the procedural delay would have added a day or two, and he intended to swiftly capture the main culprit behind Lucas death. Watching the group of church priests approach, Ulysses outside the town gate took off his gloves, picked up his spear, and after a glance at the sky bright as day and the figure that might be the Lord, resolutely stepped forward. A horse covered in frost came galloping, which he mounted. A Second-tier Origin Beast, the Frost Horse, was one of the rarer mounts in the Snow Field, also favored by sublimated persons in the knight profession. As Ulysses mounted, his cloak billowed in the wind, he shook his head to those approaching and said: "Sorry, I cant let you through." A white-clad pastor carrying a book scolded, "Do you know who we are?" "Yes, the Noah Church." "Then why arent you stepping aside?" "Sorry." Ulysses merely raised his spear and launched a Knights Charge, transforming into an icy blue streak amidst the rush. Just now, most people fell unconscious after the first wave of questioning, including those two Third-tier colleagues who, seemingly guilty in their conscience, fell rather swiftly. Only he had barely held on. From beginning to end, he didnt think he had done anything wrong. Though he had a hand in the matters of Lord Andrew, it was in the spirit of the knights contract. To eat the kings grain, to be loyal to the king. He was not wrong! "How audacious!" The leading white-clad man snorted coldly, and three church members directly confronted him. A few Divine Skills later, they had suppressed Ulysses along with the horse to the ground within moments. Chapter 422 - 289 Dragon Mama: Grandpa? Then what has Mom become? (6.4k)_3 Chapter 422: Chapter 289 Dragon Mama: Grandpa? Then what has Mom become? (6.4k)_3"Chief Steward Ryan, should we kill him?" "Kill." Hisss! Countless sharp, matchless cyan wind blades suddenly lanced forward, frightening the church members into scattering in all directions to escape, while someone outside the town gates took the opportunity to rush forward and pull the fallen Ulysses up. It was Cat Cat and a group of people, including Aina, who had awakened from their self-pity. Weier held an unfurled scroll in her hand, showing no mercy towards these church members as she released the remaining skills. Soon after, Aina also opened a scroll. Tier Four Skill, Heavenly Fire Descend! A blazing fireball instantly erupted from the scroll, startling those who were preparing to charge over, who then hastily used Light Divine Skills to protect themselves. Weier heaved a sigh of relief. Good, they made it in time. These were the skill scrolls her mother had given them before she left, among them rare scrolls with half the power of the original skills, sufficient even for dealing with ordinary Tier Four practitioners. She squinted and looked up. What on earth was happening? As soon as the effect of the scroll in Ainas hands wore off, Weier immediately laid out a new one, not considering its lethality. All that mattered was buying time. This annoyed the church folk. Where did you get these scrolls from? Such quantity, could it be that a high-tier Skill Practitioner is providing you with these every day? A blue-clothed deacon asked, "Lord Ryan, shall we employ the United Divine Skill? Otherwise, we cannot withstand these skill attacks and enter the town." Ryan nodded, "Yes." He too had only recently entered Tier Four. The power of these scrolls was terrifying; if anyone was struck by them even accidentally, it would be troublesome. About a dozen church officials stepped out, extending their hands towards the town gate and chanting prayers. Weier had an ominous feeling. She and Aina tore open another scroll, but its attack was blocked by the cohesive Light Barrier created by that serene white-clad man. There was nothing they could do. Cat Cat raised her hand upward, and a golden book materialized in her graspthe Belgri Records. Luo Xi had handed the True Canon to her just before he left. S~ea??h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The Power of Divine Tree could be lent to others with the consent of its wielder, just as Hill lent his power to his foster father. Likewise, Luo Xi could certainly pass the power to Cat Cat and the others. Even though a lot of the Power of Divine Tree had been consumed just earlier, there was still less than thirty thousand left. Golden light shone in Weiers light red eyes as she lifted her hand towards the group outside. "Heavenly Might!" 20k of the Power of Divine Tree was converted into the terrible force of Heavenly Might, pressing down on those officials. "Damn it, are they Lords?" "Impossible, they are Variants! How could they be Lords! Surely, the real Lord is someone else!" "You continue; I will block this strike!" Chief Steward Ryan released all his strength, amplifying the Light Barrier to its thickest extent. Boom! Dust and smoke rose! Weier, fighting the feeling of spiritual weakness, tried to see what was happening in the distance. Had they succeeded? When the dust cleared, Weiers pupils constricted. The gathered light was even brighter! Trouble was brewing! She no longer had enough energy to release another Heavenly Might... Had she known, she would have used all the remaining Power of Divine Tree at once. At that moment, a little hand took the True Canon from her. "Sister, let me do it!" Aina raised her hand towards the glowing light ahead. Unlike Weier, who used the innate striking ability of the Divine Tree in the form of Heavenly Might, Aina utilized the Tier Four power granted by the Divine Tree. The teak-golden pupils in the Wolf Eared Lolitas eyes sparkled brightly. As the white light shot forth, Aina grasped the hand, and the Belgri Records simultaneously glowed brilliantly, draining the Power of Divine Tree crazily fast. After a moment, Weier witnessed an inconceivable scene. In the distance, the place where those people stood, along with their bodies and the attacks they were emitting, all became enveloped in a strange golden light, beginning to compress. "Ah! Why am I flattening, what is this?!" "Monster, theres a monster in this town!" "Shut up!" Ryan roared furiously, terrified by the changes in his body. From normal to deformed, then gradually flattening. He gritted his teeth and activated his Tier Four realman entirely light-filled world. However, the developing realm, even as it enveloped some people, also began to compress, slowing the process, but if this continued, it would eventually... Hey? The force is weakening? Weier was stunned as she watched. Had Aina really achieved this? However, she saw deep fatigue on her sisters face. Aina could no longer hold on. Cat Cat bit her lip and looked up at Luo Xi in the sky. Hurry up! Freak, were all waiting for you down here! "The town..." After the Glory shattered, Luo Xi wanted to descend but was obstructed by the imagery that blocked his vision. Memories of the past kept surfacing in his mind. Am I guilty? Does teasing the girl seated next to me in elementary school count? Does not turning in the ten dollars I found to the teacher count? Does knocking out a classmates tooth during a fight in junior high school count? A ray of white light continuously skimmed over these scenes, seemingly passing judgment on Luo Xis actions. Not guilty. Not guilty. Minor guilt. They were all minor transgressions. Luo Xi himself was somewhat surprised. It seems that, until he came in contact with "Dawn", he was a person of decent character. The fact that he grew up in such a family environment without becoming a person of flawed morals was already doing a service to society. Chapter 423 - 289 Dragon Mama: Grandpa? Then what has become of Mom? (6.4k)_4 Chapter 423: Chapter 289 Dragon Mama: Grandpa? Then what has become of Mom? (6.4k)_4Then, the scene continued to advance, revealing related images of the Dream World. Deceiving Aina into marrying him, coveting her tender body (tail)a grave sin! Teasing Cat Cat, deliberately taking liberties with her multiple timesa grave sin! Overpowering the petite underclassman at night, causing her to shed tears of paina grave sin! Having inappropriate thoughts about his own Dragon Lady Mamaa grave sin! [Ding! Your Anger Value +100] Luo Xis face immediately darkened. Go to hell with your grave sin! Damn Eternal World Tree, if you had any brains at all, you wouldnt classify these as grave sins! [Note: This damn big tree is quite smart, huh? It knows that its a grave sin to lay a hand on a cute little girl~] Whose side is this damn text on anyway?! Luo Xi took a deep breath. Without waiting for the so-called judgment to come down, the authority symbolizing destruction and devouring emerged from within him as a black fog. The surrounding light, upon making contact with him, was devoured in an instant, and the images in his mind dissipated as Luo Xi completely let go. Yet, Luo Xi also felt his body accelerating towards decay at tenfold speed. It was one thing to use physical strength, but this rule-level authority was not something his current self could use frequently. If it werent for having multiple lives as a Traveler, the black dragon probably wouldnt have given him this power. Florecia seemed to have fallen into her own past memories as well. Have I done anything sinful? Her as a human... In her memory, a blurry lake surface appeared. "Why didnt you listen to Daddy? Why did you go out?!" "Hide, dont let others find you!" "Daddy, no, dont go!" "Ah! -(Piercing scream)" A burned castle emerged in her memories. I, as a human... am guilty, I harmed my dear familya grave sin! After transforming from a human form into a Dragon Origin Beast, she slowly progressed from a Third-tier small dragon to her current level over thousands of years. During this time, she was certain she hadnt harmed those humans who bore no malice. Except for the occasional harm caused by the spreading of her bloodline factora grave sin! Is this also a grave sin? Florecia came to a realization. Sear?h the N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Then she was willing to accept this judgment... Pop! A strange sensation suddenly appeared. The girl with the Dragon Horn turned her head in a daze, looking at the youth enveloped in darkness next to her, his dark golden lines almost invisible due to being shattered, and his physical outline almost entirely gone. At that moment, he used his hand to grab her tail from behind. "What are you thinking about, my cheap mama?" Luo Xi gave the softening tail in his hand a squeeze and sighed softly, "Youre now a dragon, as a dragon, why accept judgment from someone with inherent issues? Besides, does he have the qualification to judge you?" Florecia stared at Luo Xis hand on her tail. A shade of bashful red appeared on her delicate face. During her daze, a memory that seemed long sealed away surfaced in her corridor of memories. A young Variant girl, displaced and homeless, holding a smaller child in her lap by her tail on her journey from home... The image flashed by. That was... Florecia blinked in some confusion. At that moment, Xius shouted angrily, "Impossible! How did you two escape the judgment? Didnt you commit any unforgivable grave sins?" "Sin?" Luo Xi turned to look at him, his voice growing deeper. "My heart and my actions are as clear as a mirror, all that I do is just!" "I am without sin! It is you who are sinful! Do you dare to judge yourself?" "You... you!" Xius roared, "Did you escape the judgment by some means? There wont be a next time!" "O Eternal Divine Tree, your humble servant here requests" "Yes, there wont be a next time." Luo Xis body instantly vanished, darkness spread towards Xius, and all the light in his path was devoured. Then, his body completely shattered, and the power of destruction exploded violently, all of it slamming into Xius! At that moment, Xius felt the arrival of death. However, when everything dissipated, he realized he was still alive. "Ha, ha, Im not dead, hes the one who died..." The old man noticed his hand that was turning to ash. With utmost horror, he exclaimed, "What, what is this?" Death would still arrive as scheduled. The light of Noah could not dispel the destructive aura that had entered his body. He immediately wrote a Letter Transfer Divine Skill. "Lord Pope, do you feel it? I need your help!" Xius gradually calmed down. Thats right, with the Pope, he wouldnt be in trouble. Then, a voice rang out beside his ear. "Damn it! What kind of trouble have you brought upon us, huh?!" Xius turned around abruptly to see a massive black dragon pressing down the light rising from Noah at the distant Shining City. The giant dragon had cold, golden vertical pupils. "Its over, Pope of this generations Noah Church, come out and talk to me." "Youve gone too far." Chapter 424 - 290: Is This Black Dragon Here to Rob? Luo Xi’s Dragon Tail (7k) _1 Chapter 424: Chapter 290: Is This Black Dragon Here to Rob? Luo Xis Dragon Tail (7k) _1In the northern region of the Pan Continent, the Shining City, directly blessed by the Eternal World TreeNoah, is home to nearly six million people, accounting for one-tenth of the population of the Shining Country. And at the very heart of the city, reaching tens of thousands of meters into the sky, with a trunk a kilometer wide at the base, stands the Eternal World TreeNoah, the foundation upon which the Shining Country was established, towering over this land for more years than mortals can count. Only by visiting this city can one truly appreciate the awe it inspires. Under the night sky, the warm radiance from the base of the giant tree, akin to starlight falling, bathes all life in the city, driving away the perpetual winter that blankets this land, allowing people to go about their business even deep into the night. Even though its late at night, this is a city that never sleeps. Various sources of light and devices, as if free of charge, are illuminated throughout the city, and there are all sorts of transport devices: small airships, Essence Power cars, street trains... Compared to the backward towns on the fringes, Travelers from other worlds who have visited here will notice that Shining City has the feel of a 19th-century industrialized metropolis. The royal family "Yald," the lineage is merely a figurehead, with virtually no real power. The true highest-ranking person is the Pope of Noahs Church, whose role involves direct communication with Noahs Tree to receive divine commands and to oversee and guard all the towns located on the roots of Noah. Only those recognized by the Pope can take up positions as controllers of Divine Trees taller than a hundred meters. Moreover, the Pope has the supreme right to strip any Divine Tree controller of their rights. The City Owners of the six David Cities are also under supervision. In short, the Pope of Noahs Church is the person with the highest authority in this country. However, at this very moment, beyond the radiance of Noahs Tree, a terrifying black creature as massive as a mountain range has appeared. Its claws are suppressing the ascendant radiance of Noah, and it is even calling out for the Pope of Noahs Church to come out and have a talk! It was as if a nightmare had descended! 33rd Street. In an underground brewery, dozens of people had gathered. Tonight, a "Travelers Meeting" was being held here, where all players in Shining City could come to trade their items and important intelligence with each other. Despite the launch of the Dream Trading Platform after the last update, its matchmaking mechanism brings too much uncertainty, and with a limited number of trades per day, face-to-face trading is sometimes more convenient. "A green, excellent-quality shield, does anyone have one to trade?" "Any Sublimation materials for flame category? Urgently needed!" "Does anyone have materials like mithril platinum?" "Yellow Wind Songstress Sublimation pathBard profession, complete with omen and recipe for Zero-tier, First-tier, and Second-tier, in exchange for one blue gear." "Bard? You mean those weak Wander poets? What a trash profession, not even dogs would play it. Dont be fooled, everyone." "Damn it, if youre not buying, then dont buy. What do you think youre doing slandering my stuff?" "Heh, Bards are trash. Theyre nowhere near as good as the more common Sublimation professions like Warrior and Knight. You can go look it up on the forums yourself; they have no battle capability in the early tiers." [Traveler, a commotion has started in the brewery, and its getting chaotic. Do you want to leave?] "Why has it started again... Forget it, theres nothing good today, lets go out and take a walk." [Yes] Yan Yuan clicked on the text, leading his character out of the brewery. He was a player from the first major beta test, and his spawn point was in this city, but he hadnt thought about leaving yet. After all, everything he needed was right here. Sublimation paths, rare equipment, advanced techniques... as long as you have money, you can get anything here. Compared to players born in forsaken locations, their luck was quite good. Mining alone could bring in a decent amount of money here. Many players who entered the mines used the Dreamland backpack to steal Essence ore from within, making a large profitalthough recently, it seems more players are trying to do this, and some have been caught and even killed by the native NPCs. Although player existence seemed to be completely exposed after the end of the Dark Void Tree DLC event, the natives of Dream World still seemed to lack the ability to directly identify them. These Travelers from other worlds, in the mouths of high-ranking persons, are referred to as "The Undying." Yan Yuan also heard that some players had the misfortune of being recruited into the palace because of this. But none of that concerned him. He just wanted to gather more initial resources here. [Traveler, you hear a deafening voice echoing through the half-skies of Shining City.] ["Thats enough. The current Pope of Noahs Church, come out and speak with me."] [You spot a terrifying black object appearing in the night sky.] [Apart from you, everyone on the streets looks up in fear, their bodies trembling uncontrollably at the mere sight of it, and they fall to the ground in prostration.] Yan Yuan was momentarily stunned, then immediately used the Dreamland Synchronization Module that every Traveler has. Once his consciousness entered Dreamland, he blinked and saw the black object described in the text. "Damn!" Sarch* The N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The black behemoth, while not as large compared to the Eternal World Tree Noah, was still over a kilometer in size, frightening enough to make someone with a fear of giant creatures wet themselves on the spot. Chapter 425 - 290 Is this black dragon here to rob? Luo Xi’s Dragon Tail (7k)_2 Chapter 425: Chapter 290 Is this black dragon here to rob? Luo Xis Dragon Tail (7k)_2Meanwhile, players who were behind him also ran out from the tavern, each of them shocked by the giant dragon in the night sky. "What is that?" "Has an Origin Disaster arrived?" "Origin Disaster my foot, look at those claws, that size, those golden vertical pupils, thats clearly a Dragon Origin Beast!" "A Dragon Origin Beast? How could there be such a huge dragon... Wait a minute, could it be the legendary Colorful Dragon Emperor from this worlds stories?!" "The Colorful Dragon Emperor? Whats that?" someone asked. "Didnt the final stage boss of The Dark Void Tree get taken down by a huge red dragon? You guys forgot already? That was the Red Dragon, Alexilita." "So this one is the black Dragon Emperor?" "Yes, Ive read about them in a book. If Im not mistaken, this one should be the Black Dragon Bahamut!" Yan Yuan couldnt help but ask, "Aside from black and red, what about the other Dragon Emperors?" The man glanced at Yan Yuan and said, "I remember theres also the White Dragon Leviathan, Green Dragon Isla, Blue Dragon Noctis, Yellow Dragon Yerutigade, and Purple Dragon Baxilisk. Its said that each dragon, taken on its own, could easily cause disasters on the continent comparable to an Origin Disaster. But they seem more keen on protecting this world, having done many good deeds, and they havent appeared much for a very long time. The stories I read are probably embellished legends." Yan Yuan widened his eyes: "Then why has this Black Dragon come to Shining City? Why is it seeking the Pope of the Church of Noah?" "Youre asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? Just watch." Pope Tiberio Marcos stood atop the church spire at this moment. He was dressed in a pure white papal garment and holding a gold staff, with ancient totems carved on his arms, looking to be in his sixties, yet his actual age was over five hundred years old. The Pope gazed at the Black Dragon beyond the radiance, his face filled with utmost solemnity. What had Xius done? Why would Bahamut come looking for him personally? Could it be that Xius had somehow offended this Black Dragon outside? How dare he! Though protected by Noahs divine shelter, feeling no outside pressure, the arrival of the Black Dragon still shook him more than when the fully realized Wind Disaster Hurricane attacked Shining City ten years prior. After all, as terrifying as the Wind Disaster was, it lacked intelligence, whereas this Black Dragon possessed a wisdom definitely not inferior to humanitys, and probably far surpassing it after living through countless years. Even a pig would gain unimaginable intelligence over such time, right? An Archbishop approached and asked respectfully, "Your Holiness, how should we respond? Should we activate the defenses?" Even if the arrival of the Black Dragon frightened them, they were not afraid of the potential battle. The Eternal World Tree was here, and it had withstood a complete Origin Disaster; whats a single Black Dragon to fear? "No!" Tiberio immediately shook his head. If it were only Bahamut alone, that might be another matter. The Colorful Dragon Emperors have left behind so many epics and legends because during the time they were active, there were always sightings of several dragons traveling together across various lands. Although its unknown where they have been in recent millennia, Tiberio had no doubt that if things escalated, it was very possible that the other dragons would all be called in. That would be the end of it. "I will go and talk to this dragon." With a wave of his papal staff, Tiberio transformed into a streak of light heading towards the sky. His form turned into countless points of light that entered the radiance. Then, in the night sky, a giant human form appeared in front of the Black Dragon, its majestic and spirited visage boosting the morale of all who saw it. Voice rose up in the city. "Its His Holiness the Pope!" "It looks like were safe now." "Were we ever in danger, though? That Black Dragon didnt seem to have intentions of attacking us." "Attacking? That would ensure its own doom!" The appearance of the Pope dispelled the fear in the hearts of the people. Tiberio said in a grave tone, "Lord Bahamut, what brings you here tonight?" The Black Dragon glanced back briefly, then looked toward the south before saying, "Nothing much, just that some folks from your church laid hands on my... little bunnies, so I came to knock on your door a bit." Tiberio: "???" Sear?h the n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. What in the world? When did our church meddle with your little bunnies? Wait a moment, could it have been Xius doing? In his heart, the Pope now held the desire to kill Xius. Out of the blue, he had invited a formidable enemy against the Shining Country and the Church of Noah. However, he was, after all, the Pope of the Church of Noah. Facing an existence like the Black Dragon, even if he was a legendary dragon, as the Pope, he absolutely could not show weakness; otherwise, how could he command respect? "Lord Bahamut, may I inquire who the little bunnies you mentioned are?" To prevent some from hearing what they shouldnt, Tiberio activated Noahs divine protection to block external sounds and then spoke firmly, "If its about a Dragon Origin Beast attacking our towns or committing some evil act, isnt it only natural for our church officials to take action against them?" The Black Dragon replied disdainfully, "Why dont you go fish out that guy yourself and ask him what he did? I remember your church used to be different. Your clerics once dared to sacrifice their lives for the people. What happened that theyve all become such garbage now?" Chapter 426 - 290: Is This Black Dragon Here to Rob? Luo Xi’s Dragon Tail (7k) _3 Chapter 426: Chapter 290: Is This Black Dragon Here to Rob? Luo Xis Dragon Tail (7k) _3Tiberio frowned and said, "Please strike a proper tone when you speak, and avoid insulting our church officials. The Noah Church has a legacy that spans back to ancient times, always acting for the people of this vast land, with a never-changing initial purpose." Looking downward with his golden vertical pupils, Bahamut exhaled sharply and said, "Had I not witnessed the establishment of your Noah Church with my own eyes, I probably would have believed you. An unchanged initial purpose? Not to mention the increasingly bizarre successors of your traditions, do you even remember what the churchs original mission was?" Tiberios eyes suddenly widened, his projected face trembling slightly as he said: "Of course, I remember." "What is it? Go on, say it." "To bring light to all salvageable souls in the world, to judge all inescapable sins." "So, why are those you call Mutant Patients not considered salvageable souls by you?" S~ea??h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "..." "I think, in your eyes, Variants dont deserve to be treated as human, do they?" With a mocking smile, Bahamut said, "The ones who have been violating the founding principles of the church are yourselves. How ridiculous it is that so many Variants are treated by you as beasts of burden, less than human." No longer showing a pleasant facade to the black dragon, Tiberio, unable to contain his anger, said, "It was you, the Origin Beasts, who spread the Mutant Factor that turned them into that state! What right do you have to criticize our actions?" The black dragon fell silent for a moment, staring at the humans aged face before him, his expression a mix of contemplation and pity. "What do your words have to do with me? And is this your justification for betraying the churchs founding principles?" "Whether its Humanity or an Origin Beast, each has its own way of living, which is why when you humans kill the Dragon Origin Beasts and harvest their materials, we can scarcely be bothered to intervene. However, the cruelty humanity displays toward its own kind has indeed been an eye-opener for me." Tiberios shoulders shook slightly, and his expression darkened as he said, "What exactly are you here for? Is it merely to mock us?" Surprised, Bahamut said, "Havent I already told you? Im here for those young ones of mine. They did nothing wrong, yet they were made to suffer terribly by your priests using Noahs power. Moreover, an Archbishop came this time. I dont even dare to think who might come next, so Ive come to give you a warning." "Then let me bring Xius back first." Tiberio nodded slightly and waved his staff with authority. Endowed with the perception of the Eternal World Tree, Noah, he felt his entire being enhanced, with every town on the network of roots lighting up in his mind. In an instant, his perception locked on to Xius, who was four thousand kilometers away. As an Archbishop who devoutly worshiped the Noah Divine Tree, Xiuss presence was particularly prominent, making it easy for Tiberio to find him without expending much effort. The staff glowed brightly, and an old, decaying figure slowly materialized between the black dragon and Tiberio as the light dissipated and reformed. At the sight of the Popes face, Xius cried out joyfully, "Lord Pope, please save me!" His body was still continually disintegrating. The destructive Strength relentlessly ravaged the Light within him, rendering his disintegrating body irreparable. However, Tiberio only looked at him coldly and said: "Xius, what have you done?" Xius: "..." His clouded eyes widened with solemnity and turned to look behind him. The golden vertical pupils of the black dragon were watching him. So what that guy said was true! Is this how you come knocking on my door all of a sudden? In a hoarse voice, Xius said, "Lord Pope, I sought vengeance for Luca. I went to Belgri Town overnight and found two Dragon Origin Beasts hiding there." "I suspect that the Lord is colluding with the Origin Beasts!" "No, Im certain of it!" "I beseech you for your discernment!" "I understand." Tiberio said coolly and then looked up at the black dragon, "Lord Bahamut, you see, the actions of our priests all have causes and are not arbitrary assaults on your... offspring. If we have offended you inadvertently, we ask for your forbearance. After all, the towns over this land are rightfully human territories, and the presence of Origin Beasts therein is not ideal, right?" After a brief pause of surprise, Bahamut couldnt help but snort in amusement, "You believe his words so readily, without questioning the reasons for his actions? Does he have a hidden agenda?" "Lord Pope, I absolutely have no ulterior motives. I am considering the churchs best interests!" "No need to speak further." Tiberio glanced at the issues with Xiuss body, waved his staff, and sought to help him expel that Strength from his body. However, he found that although he could do so, when the Strength combined with Noahs Light within Xius, it would cause him to explode like a violent bomb. Looking at the black dragon, the Pope said, "Lord Bahamut, I implore you to withdraw this Strength. Archbishop Xius is a pillar of the Noah Church, and he shouldnt just die like this." The black dragon silently observed them. Suddenly, spreading his wings, the black dragon soared towards the sky. Then, the enormous dragon head silhouette descended, towering over the Popes projection below, devoid of pity, leaving only coldness and cruelty. "Humanity indeed turns out to be the purest, yet most chaotic of beings in this world, no wonder other World Trees have been destroyed one after the other." A bad premonition surfaced within Tiberio. Chapter 427 - 290: Is This Black Dragon Here to Rob? Luo Xi’s Dragon Tail (7k) _4 Chapter 427: Chapter 290: Is This Black Dragon Here to Rob? Luo Xis Dragon Tail (7k) _4The next moment, the Black Dragon continued to fly upward, reaching ten thousand meters above, and slammed its claw onto the Blessing Glory of Noah. "Ah?" Tiberio looked at the Black Dragons action in astonishment. What was it doing? Did it think it could break through the Blessing of the Eternal World Tree Noah? Even the Origin Disaster couldnt accomplish such a feat, and you, a mere dragon breed... However, before he could mock the Black Dragon for long, something utterly horrifying happened. The Glory, which should have been incredibly tough, was torn open by the dragons claw, creating a gigantic gash where the pure light of destruction and engulfment interwove and burst open in the High Sky at ten thousand meters! The Black Dragon directly thrust its claw inside, at the very top of Noah, and brutally grabbed a handful! However, Noahs Tree seemed to react belatedly. A dazzling light emerged on its trunk, which flung the Black Dragons claw far away, and at the same time, the Blessing Glory fully closed, but one could still see many leaves had been plucked away. Tiberio was dumbfounded. This is damn robbery, isnt it?! This Black Dragon came today specifically to cause trouble and rob, right?! As the Pope, he dared not take materials from the Noah Divine Tree; he could only piously pray and wait for its gifts, but this Black Dragon had far surpassed what he had obtained during his centuries in office with just one swipe. Where did this bandit come from? Amidst Tiberios shocked and furious expression, the voice of the Black Dragon came again. "You high-ranking humans are beyond salvation. Im warning you for the last time, if you dare touch that town again, next time, it wont be so simple," the Black Dragon said. In the High Sky at ten thousand meters, the Black Dragon didnt come back down but instead turned and flew away from there. At that moment, a book filled with endless light slowly emerged from the trunk of the tree. The Origin of Noah came out on its own? Tiberios eyes brightened, and he raised his hand to summon the Origin, but the book flew past him as if he were nothing. The Popes expression darkened. Unlike ordinary Truths of the Divine Tree, the Origin had no master, only servants. When the Origin disregarded its servants, it meant it was time to replace the Pope. With the emergence of the Origin, Noahs Tree shook like a child awoken early, with brilliant light gathering from its roots upwards. Seconds later, a massive orb of light formed at the top and violently shot towards the direction the Black Dragon had left! The Black Dragon also turned around immediately and spat out a pitch-black sphere. The collision between white and black created a blindingly brilliant light, making almost every place within the Shining Country witness the explosion of the sun. Bahamuts indifferent voice came: "How pitiful. Even with such great power, you are but puppets in the hands of humans, devoid of your own will. You dont even choose your own believers; if one day those specters dismantle you, no one will be able to help you." The Black Dragon then drifted away. In the City of Light, it wasnt until much later that the people began returning to their homes. Due to the barriers blockage, they couldnt hear the conversation outside. However, they could tell that this black giant dragon that had come was different from the previous Origin Disasters. It was an immensely powerful being with intelligence. The people were instantly filled with trepidation. It was only after the Noah Church dispatched a large number of people to tell the citizens that the Black Dragon had been driven away by the great Lord Pope that the peoples hearts calmed down a bit. Yan Yuan, once the synchronization time ended and he returned to reality, realized the gravity of what had just happened. In the Dream World, there was a dragon capable of contending with the Eternal World Tree. Unfortunately, he didnt have the talent for live streaming. Otherwise, recording something and posting it online wouldve made a fortune! .... Belgri Town. [Traveler, you have died; would you like to resurrect at the last event node?] Sear?h the n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [Yes] [You have been resurrected] Luo Xis figure refreshed on the ground amidst a glow of light. Under the guidance of the True Canon, Luo Xi stepped out and teleported outside the town gates. He gently held Aina, who was using her willpower to exert her strength purely. "Its alright now," Luo Xi said. Luo Xi gently took the True Canon from Ainas hand. "Luo Xi... brother..." The Little Wolf Girl stared blankly at Luo Xis face, her tired little face smiling as she asked, "Did Aina do okay?" "Mhm." Luo Xi affectionately rubbed Ainas head and whispered, "Aina is the best." "Ehehe~ Aina got a compliment, its true." The Wolf Eared Lolita slowly closed her eyes and completely fainted. "Uh..." Fighting through a headache, Weier asked, "Pervert, are you done over there?" "Dont know, but I guess its probably taken care of?" Luo Xi turned around and saw that in the distant outline of the great tree, a black dragon silhouette had appeared. Damn, Bahamut really went straight to their doorstep. Boom! A strong surge of Yuan Su blasted towards Luo Xi from a distance. Once Ainas powers stopped, those church priests regained some degree of normalcy, and they promptly sent a combined Divine Skill hurling towards the town. But Luo Xi didnt even glance at them. Intense flames suddenly descended, engulfing the priests, including one of the senior vicars, burning them all to nothing. They didnt even let out a single scream before the very ground beneath them melted into searing lava. Florecia landed next to Luo Xi, a tiny flame still lingering on the corner of her mouth. She had just breathed a stream of Dragon Breath in their direction when she saw the danger approaching from below. The Dragon Horn girl looked worriedly at Luo Xi and said, "Little Luo Xi, how are you? Did the Lords strength not affect you?" Luo Xi picked up Aina from his arms and felt his condition within, shaking his head, "Theres no problem for the time being." No sooner had he spoken than Luo Xis expression changed. [Ding! The Black Dragon Bahamuts power is changing the existing Mutant Factor within your body.] [Traveler, your talent: Variant (Purple/Epic) has received a tremendous enhancement.] [Variant (Purple/Epic) Variant (Golden/Legend-)] [Description: Drawing power from The Black Dragon Emperor, even a very small part is a gift that is enough to let you set foot in the realm of legends.] [Current Factor Concentration has risen to: 12.88%] Luo Xi immediately felt a pain at his tailbone. Then, a small, black and red intertwined dragon tail broke through his clothes, growing out from his tailbone and swinging freely. The cat, previously on the brink of sleep, perked up at the sight of Luo Xis tail! Luo Xi has a tail now? Although the previous Luo Xi would have a tail after Dragonization, his entire appearance would change. However now, in his normal state, Luo Xi has a tail? Luo Xi himself was staring dumbfounded at his new appendage. Fxxk! Now hes really becoming a little dragon-person! Reality. In the hotel, Ai Xue yawned in bed. Why isnt senior waking up? She was waiting for him to wake up so she could eat and gain some attributes. Suddenly, Ai Xue felt something hard poking her thigh. Huh? The smile on the girls face grew sly. Is senior back? Totally fitting for a Loli-con, coming back and thinking about... Ai Xue rubbed her eyes. Whats this now? From behind Luo Xi appeared a thick, black, red... ----- Must reach 9k tomorrow! Chapter 428 - 291_1 Chapter 428: Chapter 291_1Silence. An extended silence. After Luo Xis words fell, not only Xius, who was enveloped and protected by the light of Noahs Tree, but also Florecia standing behind him, lapsed into a daze. What the hell is this silly kid talking about? In a burst of dissipating and flashing crimson flames, Florecia approached Luo Xi and asked somewhat nervously, "Um, Little Luo Xi, who are you referring to as Grandpa Black Dragon? It couldnt be Lord Bahamut, right?" Luo Xi saw a look of panic cross the dragon-horned girls pretty face. Hmm? Why are you so flustered? He inexplicably found the little dragon lady starting to seem a bit cute... Actually, when he accidentally petted her tail during the day, her intense blushing reaction greatly altered Luo Xis impression of this bargain Dragon Mama. Even as a monarch-level dragon kind who has lived for over eight thousand years, she started out as a girl, after all. Throughout the endless years, besides humans with her bloodline factor, or other high-tier Origin Beasts, anyone else would likely want to kneel before her, right? [Note: An 8,000-year-old girl (x), ultimate lolita old lady ()] Damn Text, you are courting death! "Is it him or not!" Florecia shook Luo Xis hand again. Luo Xi glanced at the archbishop on the other side and nodded. If he took back his words in front of the enemy, wouldnt it just be a laughingstock? "It really is..." The dragon-horned girls brilliant red hair dulled and her scales gradually turned pale as she murmured dejectedly, "If Little Luo Xi calls Lord Bahamut Grandpa, then what should Mama call you, Little Luo Xi? Little master? Or perhaps, young lord?" "Wouldnt that be completely chaotic?" S~ea??h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Luo Xi: "?" What does it matter? The title of mom only came about because the source of the Mutation Factor in me comes from you, right? My body harbors your Mutation Factor and a portion of the Black Dragons strength. Since I can call you mom, calling the Black Dragon grandpa shouldnt be a big issue, should it? That makes sense, doesnt it? Florecia grabbed Luo Xis shoulders and began shaking him vigorously, ini, "Its so weird! Why would Lord Bahamut agree to let you call him Grandpa, Little Luo Xi? Mama hasnt enjoyed having a childs company for a few days yet, is she going to lose you already? I dont want that to happen!" "Little Fu, listen to this human talking nonsense! When did I agree to be called Grandpa? Whos snatching the child from you? Do you think I have that much free time?" The harsh voice near the dragon-horned girls ear sounded somewhat frantic and annoyed. Florecia was startled. "Lord, youre here?" Upon hearing that familiar and authoritative voice, along with its denial, she instantly felt much relieved. Thank goodness, thank goodness. As long as it wasnt those lords competing with her for the child, she still had some confidence. Who dares to snatch her child right under her eyes, or outshine her, would have to pay a blood price! Florecia clenched her fist and knocked on Luo Xis chest, producing a crisp impact sound. "Naughty child, how dare you deceive Mama. Lord Bahamut has come from a distant epoch, an existence as great as the Eternal World Tree, with no lesser span of time under his belt. How could he possibly acknowledge you as his grandson!" "This..." Luo Xi laughed awkwardly with a hint of embarrassment. Good thing the Black Dragon wasnt here yet. Otherwise, he felt he could have dug out a three-bedroom flat. While the two humanoid dragons were talking, Xius clenched his fists, his wrinkled skin trembling, his nails nearly crushing his palms. I dont care about your mamas and grandpas, sons, and grandsons! Damn, cant you show some respect to this two-hundred-year-old elder!? Am I invisible to you? And this Bahamut nonsense, who are you trying to scare? As the Colorful Dragon Emperor, a being of epic legend, unseen on the Pan Continent for who knows how long, do you think bragging about a connection to him will intimidate me? His hoarse roar challenged, "What do you take me for? Bahamut, the Colorful Dragon Emperor? If you can, bring him out now!" Luo Xi pondered for a moment, then said, "Dont rush; hes on his way. He will soon be at your doorstep." Xius: "?" The elders eyes twitched, and he suddenly stretched out his hand. Thus, the gravity formed by light instantly drew Luo Xi and Florecia towards it by several dozens of meters. Piercing light descended from the sky like a falling sun! Luo Xi and Florecia simultaneously threw punches. The Projection of the Noah Divine Tree burst forth! In an instant, three terrifying forces collided, refracting outward, one slicing through the clouds in the night sky, another barreling toward the town below, and another exploding across the ground. Seeing the danger, Luo Xi immediately teleported in front of the town and instinctively unleashed a black roaring wave. Xius smirked, watching the black entity below with a cold laugh. An incarnation of the Black Dragon Species? He tilted his head, dodging the blazing fireball spit by the Red Dragon, and roughly gauged the battle strength of these two dragons. Before the Projection of Noah was summoned, even ten of them would have been useless against him. Now it was different he was absolutely confident! Then, let the judgment be passed. The Projection of Noah shone dazzling white light behind him. The night turned to day as the light, with no blind spots, fully enveloped Luo Xi and the Dragon Lady. Within dozens of kilometers nearby, this radiance shrouded everything. Chapter 429 - 291_2 Chapter 429: Chapter 291_2Luo Xi raised his arms, wanting to defend, and heard the old mans chant carrying through the wind. "Oh, great Noahs Tree, enumerate their sins! Let these two sin-filled Dragon Origin Beasts accept Your judgment! Divine Skill, Judgment of Light!" Luo Xi subconsciously responded, "At this point, can you even keep count?" Florecia: "???" What nonsense is this silly child blurting out now? She wanted to protect Luo Xi, although the child had received a portion of Lord Bahamuts strength, his use of it was obviously unskilled. But the sky, turned into daytime, froze her body solid. On the other side, Luo Xi looked at his text prompt, somewhat helplessly, [Ding! Talent: Immersion will end in 10s] Its no wonder the Black Dragon only asked him to delay for a bit. Did it anticipate that even with increased strength, he wouldnt be able to deal with the opponent? This cheat isnt great at all; since Im going to die anyway, why not give me a one-hit kill cheat? The moment the talents time expired, Luo Xi immediately used the refreshed rights of Divine Tree synchronization, but his aura plummeted significantly. Having lost the 200% enhancement, Luo Xis strength and physique were now only a little over five thousand, but in truth, the strengths of strength and physique were external; the real power within Luo Xi was still the authority accompanied by the Black Dragons strength. "All sins committed by life will not dissipate." Xius said coldly within the white light, like a god, "You two dragons are pleased with yourselves too soon. Whatever sins you have committed, under the illumination of Noahs Tree, they will have nowhere to hide, and It will impose the final judgment upon you based on them!" Luo Xi roared, "Why dont you use such a righteous thing on yourselves?" Xius let out a hoarse voice, "The Noah Church knows no sin, and even if it did, it would be for us to judge ourselves; others are not allowed to intervene." "You, just accept the judgment quietly, for I will watch you both walk toward extinction." In front of Luo Xi, a dazzling pure white light emerged, with various vague images appearing in his mind. He tried to activate the destructive power of the Black Dragon within him to break through this strange Divine Skill, but found no matter how he tore at them, these images did not dissipate and instead grew clearer and clearer. Xius didnt take advantage of the situation to attack; he was waiting for the results of the Divine Skill: Judgment. This Divine Skill was to be entirely judged by Noah, a wide-area Divine Skill, and during this time, he, as the maintainer, could not intervene, else he too would be counted among those being judged. He slowly lowered his head, looking at the town below. Sear?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The Lord had not come out from the start to the end. Is he still hiding inside? The two Dragon Origin Beasts who emerged were at least High-tier Lords; the Lord here seemed very unsettled. Fortunately, he came this time and thwarted the Lords conspiracy. The Noah Church must not be insulted, nor can the Shining Country tolerate Lords colluding with Origin Beasts! Xius stepped down firmly. The Blessing Glory of the Belgri Divine Tree, already at its carrying limit, shattered like porcelain dropped on the floor, and the golden specks were covered by white light. "Go, see where this towns Lord is hiding, lure him to make a move, but dont arbitrarily harm the local people." After receiving the order from afar, a group of church priests dressed in white and blue descended from the airship and headed towards the town, now devoid of protected shine. The weakest among this group were Third-tier sublimated persons. There was only one at Tier Four, and he was at the junior level. This wasnt to say that the archbishops entourage was weak; after all, most at Tier Four were at the level of bishop-elect or even bishops, able to manage churches in major towns. Moreover, Xius hadnt reported this trip to higher-ups; if he had, waiting for the procedure would take another day or two, and he wanted to quickly capture the responsible party for Lucas death. Watching the group of church priests approaching, Ulysses outside the town gate took off his gloves, picked up his lance, and after looking at the daylight sky and the figure that might be the Lord, he resolutely went out. A horse covered in frost galloped over and he mounted it. A Second-tier Origin Beast, Frosted Horse, is a relatively rare mount in the Snow Field, also favored by sublimated persons of the knight occupation. As Ulysses mounted the horse, his overcoat was lifted by the cold wind, and he shook his head at the newcomers, "Sorry, I cant let you in." The white-robed cleric holding a book rebuked, "Do you know who we are?" "I do, the Noah Church." "Then why not step aside at once?" "Sorry." Ulysses simply raised his lance and launched Knights Charge, turning into an icy blue streak during the charge. Just now, most people had fainted in the wake of the first wave of judgment, including those two Third-tier colleagues, who seemed to have something weighing on their conscience and fell especially quickly. Only he had struggled to stay conscious. From beginning to end, he didnt think what he was doing was wrong; the matter involving Lord Andrew, though he was also involved, he did it for the knights code. To eat the rulers grain, is to loyally serve the ruler. He wasnt wrong! "Audacious!" The leading white-robed man snorted coldly, and three church members confronted him head-on, suppressing the charging Ulysses and his horse to the ground with several Divine Skills. Chapter 430 - 291_3 Chapter 430: Chapter 291_3"Chief Steward Ryan, should we kill him?" "Kill." Hiss! Countless sharp, azure wind blades suddenly surged forth, scaring off all the church members who fled in all directions. Taking advantage of the situation, someone outside the town went up and pulled the fallen Ulysses back to his feet. It was Cat Cat who had awoken from self-pity, along with Aina and their group. Weier was holding an unfurled scroll in her hand, mercilessly releasing the remaining skills on these church members. Thereupon, Aina also opened a scroll. Tier Four Skill, Descending Heavenly Fire! Blazing fireballs erupted from the scroll in an instant, startling those who were about to rush over again. They scattered, each using Light Divine Skills to protect themselves. Weier breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, they made it in time. These were the skill scrolls her mother had given them before leaving, among which were rare scrolls with half the power of the original skills, capable of dealing with ordinary Tier Four opponents. She squinted and looked up. What on earth is going on? After the effects of the scroll in Ainas hand had dissipated, Weier immediately followed up with a new one, not considering the lethality but just to delay time. This also infuriated the church members. Where did you get these scrolls from? Such a quantity, could it be that a high-tier Skill Practioner is drawing them for you every day? A blue-clad steward asked, "Lord Ryan, should we use the combined Divine Skill? Otherwise, we cant withstand these skill attacks and enter the town." Ryan nodded, "Alright." He had also only recently advanced to Tier Four. The power of these scrolls was terrifying; a careless hit would spell trouble. About a dozen church officials stepped forward, extending their hands toward the town gate, and began chanting prayers. Weier immediately sensed danger. She and Aina tore open a scroll together, but the attack from the scroll was blocked by a stable glowing barrier conjured by the steadfast man in white. No choice left. Cat Cat raised her hand, and a golden book appeared in her graspthe Belgri Records. Luo Xi had handed the True Canon to her just before he left. The Power of the Divine Tree could be lent to others with the controllers permission, like Hill lending his strength to his foster father; naturally, Luo Xi could also transfer the power to Cat Cat and the others. Even though the Power of the Divine Tree was greatly depleted just now, there was still less than thirty thousand remaining. Golden light flared up in Weiers light red eyes as she raised her hand toward the group outside. "Heavenly Judgment!" 20k of the Power of the Divine Tree was transformed into the terrifying force of Heavenly Judgment, bearing down on those church officials. "Damn it, are they Lords?" "Impossible, they are Variants! How could they be Lords? The true Lord must be someone else!" "You all continue, Ill block this blow!" Chief Steward Ryan released all of his strength, thickening the barrier of light to its utmost extent. Boom! Debris flew everywhere! Struggling with the feeling of spiritual weakness, Weier tried to observe the situation in the distance. Was it successful? As the dust settled, Weiers pupils contracted suddenly. The condensed light grew brighter! This is bad! She no longer had enough energy to release another Heavenly Judgment... had she known, she would have used up all the remaining Power of the Divine Tree in one go. At that moment, a small hand took the True Canon from her. "Sister, let me do it!" Aina raised her hand toward the shimmering light in the distance. Unlike Weier, who used the built-in striking capability of the Divine TreeHeavenly Judgment, Aina used the Tier Four power brought by the Divine Tree. The tea-gold pupils of the Wolf Eared Lolita shone brighter than ever. Just as the burst of white light shot out, Aina clenched her hand, and the Belgri Records shone brightly with gold, the Power of the Divine Tree draining wildly. Sar?h the novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. A moment later, Weier witnessed the unbelievable. In the distance, where those people were, along with their bodies and the attacks they emitted, were enveloped by a strange golden radiance and began to compress continuously. "Ah! Why am I getting flatter, what is this!" "Monster, theres a monster in this town!" "Shut up!" Ryan roared in anger, watching in horror as his body transformed. From normal to deformed, then gradually flattening. He gritted his teeth and activated his own Tier Four domaina world full of light. However, the partially-formed domain, after encompassing some of the people, was also compressed, slowing down the speed. But if this continued, sooner or later it would... Hey? The power weakened? Weier was stunned on the sideline. Did Aina really do this? But she saw the deep fatigue on her sisters face. Aina could no longer hold on. Cat Cat clenched her teeth and looked up at Luo Xi in the sky. Come on! You pervert, were waiting for you here! "The town..." After the burst of Glory shattered, Luo Xi wanted to go down, but his vision was blocked by images. Memories from the past kept surfacing in his mind. Am I guilty? Does teasing the girl next door in primary school count? Does finding ten dollars and not turning it in to the teacher count? Does getting into a fight in middle school and knocking out someones tooth count? Wisp after wisp of white light swept over these events, seemingly passing judgment on Luo Xis actions. Innocent. Innocent. Minor sin. Just some trivial sins. Luo Xi was surprised himself. It seemed that up to the time he encountered "Dawn," he had been a fairly decent person. Having grown up in that kind of family environment and not turning into a person with twisted morals was already a victory for society. Chapter 431 - 291_4 Chapter 431: Chapter 291_4And then, the scene continued to progress, revealing images related to the Dream World. Deceiving Aina into marrying oneself, coveting her tender body (tail)a grave sin! Teasing Cat Cat, deliberately taking advantage multiple timesa grave sin! Pushing over the now petite junior at night, causing her to shed tears in paina grave sin! Harboring unusual thoughts about ones own Dragon Lady mothera grave sin! [Ding! Your Anger Value +100] Luo Xis face immediately darkened. To hell with your grave sins! Useless Eternal World Tree, if you had any brains at all, you wouldnt define these as grave sins! [Note: This damn tree is actually quite clever, huh? It knows that laying a hand on the adorable Little Lolita is a grave sin~] Damn Text, whose side are you on?! Luo Xi took a deep breath. Without waiting for the so-called judgment to come, the authority symbolizing destruction and devouring emerged from within him as a black fog. The light surrounding him was devoured the moment it touched him, and the visions in his mind dissipated as Luo Xi completely let go. However, Luo Xi also felt his body accelerating toward collapse at ten times the normal rate. Mere use of physical strength was one thing, but this rule-level authority was not something he could use frequently at this time. If it werent for having multiple lives as a Traveler, the black dragon probably wouldnt have given him the strength. Florecia seemed to have fallen into memories of the past as well. Have I, committed any heinous acts? Her, when she was human... In her memories, parts of a blurry lake surface appeared. "Why wont you listen to Daddy? Why did you go out?" S~ea??h the Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Hide, dont let others find you!" "Daddy, no, dont go!" "Ah!(a piercing scream)" A burned castle surfaced in her memory. Me, as a human...I am guilty, I have harmed my beloved family members.a grave sin! After transforming from a human body into a Dragon Origin Beast, over thousands of years, she slowly progressed from a Third-tier little dragon to her current level. During this period, she could affirm that she never harmed any humans who bore no malice. Except for the occasional harm resulting from the spread of her bloodline factors.a grave sin! Is this too a grave sin? Florecia came to a realization. Then she was willing to accept this judgment... Snap! A strange sensation suddenly appeared. The Dragon Horn girl turned her head in shock, looking at the youth enshrouded by darkness standing beside her, whose dark golden lines were now almost invisible due to breakage, his bodys outline almost completely vanished. At this moment, he took hold of her tail with his hand. "What are you thinking, my dear mom?" Luo Xi gently squeezed the tail that had become soft in his hand, sighing softly, "You are a dragon now. Why should a dragon accept the judgment of a person who has issues with himself? And does he even have the right to judge you?" Florecia stared blankly at Luo Xis hand on her tail. A blush of shyness emerged on her delicate face. In a daze, a memory that seemed to have been sealed for a long time surfaced in the corridor of her memories. A wandering young Variant girl on the road away from home, holding a smaller child with her tail... The image flashed by in an instant. That was... Florecia blinked in confusion. At this time, Xius shouted in anger, "Impossible! How did you escape judgment? Havent you committed unforgivable grave sins?" "Sins?" Luo Xi turned his head to look at him, his voice growing deeper. "My heart and actions are as clear as a mirror; everything I do is just!" "I am not guilty! The guilty ones are you! Do you dare to judge yourself?" "You... you!" Xius roared in anger, "Did you escape judgment in some way? There wont be a next time!" "O Eternal Divine Tree, your humble servant begs here" "Yes, there wont be a next time." Luo Xis body suddenly disappeared, and darkness spread towards Xius, devouring all the light that stood before him. Immediately after, his body completely shattered, and the power of destruction burst forth, hurtling towards Xius! In that moment, Xius felt the arrival of death. However, once everything had dissipated, he found he was still alive. "Ha, ha, I didnt die, hes the one who died..." The old man saw his hands, which were emitting ashes. He yelled in utter terror, "What, what is this?" Death was still set to arrive as scheduled. The light of Noah was unable to disperse the destructive aura that had entered his body. He immediately wrote a Letter Transfer Divine Skill. "Lord Pope, did you feel it? I need your help!" Xius gradually calmed down. Thats right, with the Lord Pope around, nothing would happen to him. At that moment, a voice rose beside his ear. "Damn it! What the hell have you gotten us into? Huh?!" Xius turned abruptly, and he saw itin the distant City of Light, there stood a black giant dragon, suppressing Noahs rising light. That black giant dragon, with its gold vertical pupils, was indescribably cold. "It ends here, the Pope of this generations Church of Noah, come out and speak with me." "O Eternal Divine Tree, your humble servant begs here" "Yes, there wont be a next time." Luo Xis body suddenly disappeared, and darkness spread towards Xius, devouring all the light that stood before him.

(4.8k) _1 Chapter 432: Chapter 292 Dragon Mama: Lord is kidnapping a child! A mature Black Dragon? (4.8k) _1Ai Xue watched the suddenly appeared tail with interest. The tail was approximately one meter in length, with beautifully arranged black and red scales. It extended from beneath Luo Xis clothes at the baseabout as thick as a calfand tapered off to a fine point at the end. Senior sure is getting more and more weird stuff on him. Ai Xue hesitated for a moment, then poked it a few times with her finger before grabbing the middle section of the tail. Its so hot! Since it was the middle of the night, Ai Xues small hand could barely grasp it. A scorching feeling traveled up from the tail, almost too hot for her to hold. She had no idea where this thing had grown from... Curious, the girl slowly lifted the back of Luo Xis shirt. Just as she had thought, it did indeed grow from the tailbone region. She could even see bloodstains on Luo Xis back where the skin had been forcibly stretched by the tails sudden emergence. She wondered if touching it would feel half as nice as the tail of Cat Lady Miss or Wolf Eared Lolita. Ai Xue placed her fingers at the base of the tail, where the scales were sparser. Before she could touch it much, Luo Xi suddenly sat up with a start, pulling his tail with him. "Senior? Youre back?" "Hmm..." Luo Xi casually responded and then looked at the dragon tail hanging before his eyes with a speechless expression. How did the mutation manifest so quickly in reality? Last time, the dragon horns stayed in a phantom state for a period of time. Is it because theres enough Yuan Su in my body for it to take physical form? Ai Xue lightly jumped and sat on Luo Xis thigh, her face full of expectation. "Senior, can I touch your tail?" Luo Xi: "..." "Go ahead and touch." Luo Xi said helplessly, "I still have things to deal with over there and need to head back again. Im not sure when Ill be back. You should also go to sleep early." [Note: Can I touch your tail too, Damn Traveler? (???)~] Damn Text, what kind of bullshit are you on about! Not giving, scoot! ()! "Why do you have to go back there so late..." The girls complaint didnt reach Luo Xis ears. He had already laid back down. "Senior really is a master of time management..." Ai Xue muttered, gripping Luo Xis tail in her hand. Hmm? She squeezed it a bit harder. It was moderately soft and firm, surprisingly nice to the touch. But in the end, a dragon tail covered in scales couldnt quite compare to the fluffy cat tail or wolf tail. Ai Xue quickly lost interest. Her gaze slowly drifted to the area beneath Luo Xis abdomen. Never mind. She would fend for herself. Senior would surely understand. ... /// Belgri Town. "Ah..." Luo Xi returned to his body in the Dream World and glanced at the tail behind him, sighing lightly. How would he get by in the days ahead? Every outing would now require the use of a disguise scroll, and his clothes would need to be custom-made; otherwise, his tail would tear through them with the slightest movement. It didnt matter, as the progressive encroachment of the Mutant Factor was something Luo Xi had anticipated. It had just arrived a bit earlier than expected. Now, he needed to deal with the situation in Belgri Town. The town had been through several upheavals in a row, and if he didnt appease the townsfolk soon, they would lose their will to work the next day. After all, who would concentrate on their work knowing that the end of the world was only days away? Luo Xi looked towards the butler who just stood up and asked, "Ulysses, how are your injuries? The town is in chaos right now; we need you to step forward." Ulysses had some bruising at the corner of his mouth but moved with agility. He waved his arm and shook his head, "The two young ladies saved me at a critical moment, so the injuries arent too severe. Lord, I understand what you mean. I will now start gathering people to calm the townsfolk." Luo Xi said indifferently, "Yes, and let them know if anyone wants to leave town, starting tomorrow, Belgri Town will open up the channels for entry and exit. But once they choose to leave for good, they shouldnt expect to come back." "Yes, Lord." A glint of determination flashed in Ulyssess eyes. During this period of time, many people were clamoring to leave, even his two colleagues wanted to depart. The Lord had previously not allowed them to, probably for fear of the situation changing if Belgris Lordship was to be discovered being transferred. But since tonight, Noahs Church had taken a fall here, and after solving the issue with Noahs Church, letting these people leave or not had become irrelevant. The Lord was indeed all-powerful. Sarch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. To have overcome such a perilous situation, his initial decision was undoubtedly the right one! Luo Xi was oblivious to what his capable subordinate was thinking; in reality, he simply figured that instead of forcibly keeping those who harbored resentment toward the town, it would be better to let them all out. The Belgri Records text appeared before his eyes. [Power of Divine Tree: 655500000] His loss this time could be described as extremely heavy. The 180,000 units of Power of Divine Tree that the Belgri Divine Tree had accumulated over the years had been depleted to just a few hundreds. Although most of it was used up to maintain the existence of the Blessing Glory to protect the townsfolk, Weier and Aina had only used a fraction. Luo Xi hugged the Wolf Eared Lolita in his arms. This child truly had amazing potential. After being boosted by the Belgri Records, with just her amplified basic mutation ability, she managed to suppress those priests firmly, and she was even on the verge of crushing them all to death.

(4.8k) _2Weier said softly, "Aina has grown up so fast." Who could have thought that the once timid child could muster the bravery to confront her enemies? Luo Xi chuckled, "Everyone grows up, after all. Fourteen isnt so young." [Note: Shes at the age where she could be a mother already~ as the Traveler once said] sea??h th ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Nonsense, I never said such a thing! Weier corrected him, "Aina is only thirteen!" Luo Xi shrugged, "I meant in my time zone... huh?" He turned his head to look at the Dragon Mama who had been gazing up at the sky beside him and suddenly remembered something. In this world, a year is 14 months long, totaling around 410 days. If Florecia is 8,000 years old, then converted to my worlds calendar... Well, thats just about 9,000 years old, hasnt hit ten thousand yet, not too bad. Florecia furrowed her brows, lowered her head, and looked at Luo Xi with confusion, asking, "Little Luo Xi, what is it now?" "Nothing." Luo Xi cast aside the rather disrespectful thoughts about Dragon Mama. He asked, "What about that old geezer? Is he dead?" The destruction bomb formed by the full eruption of the Black Dragons power inside his body should have been enough to kill that guy. "I dont know, Mama wanted to give him an extra punch, but then a beam of light took him away." The Dragon Horn girl looked toward the north, where the huge dragon shadow that had been winding around the giant tree seemed to have flown into the sky. What is Lord Bahamut doing? Luo Xi also looked in the direction of Noahs Tree, and suddenly asked, "Will my grandfather come over later?" The legendary-rated scales that had disappeared after he resurrected must have been a one-time boost, and of course, even if it was only a one-time use, the power justified the rating. Luo Xi pondered whether he could get another scale and thought to himself how exhilarating it felt to have a big shot gaming the system for you. Florecias expression twitched, "Why are you still yelling nonsense? Naughty child, Mama is going to punish you!" Luo Xi mused, "So what about Granny?" "What granny? Lord is of the male sex... huh?" Florecia paused. She didnt actually know Lord Bahamuts gender. Theoretically, all High-tier Origin Beasts lack the concept of gender since they cant reproduce naturally anyway. Whats the point of gender distinction? But when High-tier Origin Beasts take on a human form, they do manifest a gender difference. For instance, Florecia herself, her current human shape is that of her human form, and she told Luo Xi to call her Mama, not Papa, which was an acknowledgment of her feminine gender. So, it could be said that High-tier Origin Beasts do have genders. But she was unclear whether Lord Bahamut, a Legendary Dragon that had appeared in this world following the great will and the Eternal World Tree, had any gender distinction... Its just the solemn and majestic voice that usually reminded one of a male. Florecias voice trembled almost imperceptibly, "Lord must be male! Dont think too much, Little Luo Xi. You have no relation to Lord; you are Mamas child!" Weier blinked. Why did this Dragon Lady seem so anxious? "But..." Luo Xi pointed at the Dragon Tail behind him, his expression odd, "The scales on my tail are intermingled with black and red, and I feel like Im more like a patient with Black Dragon Species Mutation Syndrome?" "Because Mama originally devoured a High-tier Lord of the Black Dragon Species and was given a bit of strength by Lord, allowing me to successfully advance to a Monarch Tier. The bloodline factor naturally blended two different categories, but its still mainly Red Dragon Species..." Florecia was explaining, while also taking a moment to sense the condition of the bloodline factor inside Luo Xis body. ??? The Dragon Horn girls beautiful face changed with shock. She sensed the presence of Lord Bahamut lingering in Luo Xis body, and his bloodline factor was showing signs of Mutation. If this continued, the bloodline strength that Luo Xi originally inherited from her could genuinely shift towards the Black Dragon Species, and he might even be directly influenced by Bahamut to become a retainer or offspring of the Lord! So, would Little Luo Xi then be her child or Lord Bahamuts child? Should she snatch him back? But how could she possibly win against him? The Dragon Horn girls golden vertical pupils dimmed gradually, her eyes turned lifeless, she squatted down, and began to turn grey-white, murmuring, "Is it right for Lord to take my child?" "No, no, even if its Lord Bahamut, its not okay, Little Luo Xi is mine!" "I wont give him up, no way!" "Should I go and complain to Lord Alexilita? Would she care about me?" Weier looked bewildered at the squatting and muttering Florecia. This being also has something she fears? And someone wants to take her child, instilling such fear in this Monarch Tier Red Dragon? Bahamut... Is that the same Black Dragon they had seen on the airship together? Cat Cats mouth corners raised slightly. Hmph, let her also experience the feeling of having something important being taken away. Spit, this pervert is not important to me! Wait a minute! Weier finally realized the critical point. That Black Dragon also wanted to take Luo Xi? Cat Cat glared fiercely at Luo Xi. What sort of strange relationships had this guy formed without them knowing? Chapter 434 - 292 Dragon Mama: The Lord is kidnapping a child! A mature Black Dragon? (4.8k)_3 Chapter 434: Chapter 292 Dragon Mama: The Lord is kidnapping a child! A mature Black Dragon? (4.8k)_3Could there be another group they didnt recognize popping up at any moment? Cat Cat angrily said, "You playboy, give Aina back to me! And take us back to the bedroom!" [Ding! Weiers Anger Value +100] Luo Xi: "?" He was at a loss as to why Cat Cat had suddenly gotten angry again. Luo Xi handed Aina over to Weier, snapped his fingers, and used the remaining Power of the Divine Tree to send the two back, then he sat next to Dragon Mama, zoning out with her while he also checked the various items he currently held. He remembered that he hadnt claimed the two rewards for topping the Contribution List in The Dark Void Tree DLC event the day before yesterday. Because too many things had happened since returning yesterday, like being ravaged by Ai Xue, and spending the day accompanying Ai Xue to see her parents... all these events almost made Luo Xi forget. Luo Xi flipped through the text columns. [Would you like to claim your rewards for the global epic quest EvilThe Dark Void Tree?] [Yes] [Traveler, you ranked first with 200,000 Contribution Points and have obtained the following rewards] [Talent Effect Upgrade x1 (up to Gold Talent can be upgraded)] [Random Talent Draw x1 (guaranteed to be Purple Color or higher)] [Friendly reminder: In this talent pool, the chance of drawing White, Green, Blue talents is 0%, Purple Color talents is 90%, and Gold talents is 10%] These were truly rewards befitting the first place ranking. Luo Xi clicked satisfactorily to collect them. As he pondered which talent to upgrade, a feeling of palpitation from deep within made Luo Xi shiver subconsciously. Florecia also snapped out of her trance. This feeling was unmistakable, Lord Bahamut had arrived here. With her speed, it would take a minimum of ten minutes to get from here to Noahs Tree, but for a being like the Lord, probably a dozen seconds at most. The Dragon Horn girls red-gold vertical pupils regained their brilliance, showing a gaze full of reverence. No matter what, even if she had grievances, she couldnt show them in front of the Lord. At most, she would slightly express them later and ask the Lord if he could please stop snatching her child away. Perhaps she could find a way to get a child for the Lord? "Are you waiting for me?" Suddenly, a dull and majestic voice sounded in their ears. Luo Xi was slightly taken aback. Whoo~ Amid the sound of the wind, a shadow appeared above the two of them. It was a dragon whose eyes were the only golden part on its entirely pitch-black body; its size was about fifteen meters at the moment. Around it, terrifying cracks in space kept spreading, as if the mere presence of it was too much for the world to bear. Florecia lowered her head and respectfully said, "Lord Bahamut, thank you for your trouble this time." It was embarrassing for her that the Lord, who had very important things to do, had to come back for them. The Black Dragon slowly landed on the ground and said solemnly, "Little Fu, you were too impulsive. You couldve left first. Its a good thing Alexilita and I had just set off not long ago; if we were further away, I wouldnt have been able to return in time." "Sorry... for causing trouble for you, my lord," Florecia said, lowering her head in shame. Bahamut casually remarked, "I just didnt want to look for another dragon to guard that coast. Its a hassle, and I cant necessarily trust them." The Black Dragon turned its head to look at Luo Xi, who was standing beside it, and then at Florecia, asking teasingly: "Human, are you interested in becoming my follower? Your adaptability to my power seems to be quite good." Florecia: "!!!" Oh no, oh no, the Lord really was going to snatch her child ini! Luo Xi was taken aback, shook his head, and said, "Thank you for your consideration, but no thanks." The Black Dragon asked in confusion, "Why?" Thats because I really dont want to become a dragon for real. A hand was placed on the shoulder of the emotionally shaken Florecia. In the midst of the Dragon Horn girls panicked gaze, Luo Xi smiled and said, "I already have a good mother now, but if you only want me to call you grandfather, I suppose thats not out of the question." Calling someone mother might be a bit much, but grandfather felt much easier. "Little Luoxi..." Florecia looked at Luo Xi, touched. S~ea??h the ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The next moment. Slap! "You little brat, who are you calling grandfather? Say it again? Werent you the one who called me grandfather before? Huh?!" The dragon claw descended from the sky, slamming Luo Xi directly into the ground. "Lord, no! ...Hmm?" Just as Florecia was about to plead for Luo Xi, she froze. A voice filled with softness, magnetism, and charm slowly arose. "Cough, cough, cough, its been too long since Ive acted in human form on landIm a bit unaccustomed." Luo Xi barely poked his head out of the ground, looking like a rat peering out from a sewer to sneak a peek at the human world. Seeing the scene in front of him, he stopped breathing for a moment. It was a stunning woman in a snow-white dress, with waterfall-like black hair. She had a hand on her face, tilting her head to look at the sky, her golden vertical pupils softly gleaming. Her bodys curves were as evocative as the rolling hills, and one could faintly see the creaminess of her thigh through the semi-transparent dress. [Note: Awesome! Shes female! Not so awesome! Its not Little Lolita!] Chapter 435 - 293 Red Dragon Lolita Mom and Black Dragon Royal Elder Sister and Garbage Traveler_1 Chapter 435: Chapter 293 Red Dragon Lolita Mom and Black Dragon Royal Elder Sister and Garbage Traveler_1If Dragon Mama has the body of a Lolita paired with the figure of a mature lady, then this one, is truly the epitome of a mature lady. With a stature of at least 1.7 meters, her expression is cold and indifferent, with detached golden pupils, black Dragon Horns, a white dress barely concealing her seductive form, her ample bosom heavy and full, and that waterfall of long black hair cascading down her back. Shes as enchantingly beautiful as a fairy. However, Luo Xi found that he wasnt having any improper thoughts at all. [Ding! Your Lust Value -88] [Ding! Your Lust Value -44] Huh? Its one thing for it not to increase, but its even deducting points? And its gone down over a hundred already! Back in the real-world hotel. Ai Xue was attempting to be self-reliant. The Luo Xi that shed managed to get excited just went limp again, never to rise. The girl immediately panicked. "Oh no, did I break my senior?" "But my two roommates said that men could manage seven times a day at the beginning." "Senior, perk up a little!" In the Dream world, Luo Xi naturally didnt know what Ai Xue was up to outside. In any case, he could look at the woman in front of him with a clear minda woman who was incredibly beautiful yet stirred no strange desires within him, while the texts kept notifying him that his Lust Value was dropping. This was quite a peculiar state to be in. S~ea??h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Normally, a male looking at a beautiful womandespite just admiring herwould feel a bit of desire, right? Otherwise, is he even a man? Luo Xi now wanted to look but couldnt muster any interest; hed become completely monk-like. Florecia grabbed Luo Xis hand, (n) and said, "Little Luo Xi, pull yourself together! Dont be enchanted by the Lord, whatever you want to see, Mama can show you! And Bahamut, can you not lead my child astray? It took me a long time to have this child, and youre almost turning him into your color!" Bahamut: "..." What do you mean leading the child astray, or turning him into my color? The way youre putting it makes it sound terrible, like Ive done something awful to my subordinate, bullying someone younger, using my power over them. If Chi and Bai found out, theyd probably tease me for ages. She slowly lowered her hand, and that stunning profile turned toward Luo Xi and Florecia, her golden pupils looking at both of them. Due to her human transformation, her strength had weakened a bit, so the spreading spatial rifts on her body had decreased significantly, allowing her to stay on the ground much longer. Theres no rush to leave anymore. Luo Xi, shaken by Dragon Mama, snapped back to reality. He didnt dare to look at the Dragon in human form, who was overwhelmingly beautiful. No wonder she was considered an entity with strength rivaling that of the Eternal World Tree Authority. Even if she wasnt at the mythic tier, she was probably close to it. Seeing that Luo Xi had returned to normal, Florecia immediately buried him in her embrace, the familiar snow-white softness revitalizing Luo Xis spirit. [Ding! Your Lust Value +55] The Dragon Horn girl gently stroked Luo Xis head and said, "Stop looking at the Lord. As the emperor of our dragon race, her dragon form invokes fear in us, while her human form captivates us to the point of obsession." "Then youre underestimating your child too much." Bahamut stepped forward, glanced at the youth buried in the girls arms, and said, "His adaptability to my power is quite high. With a little time, he might be able to handle my aura. This guy is not like ordinary humans." Florecia proudly said, "Of course, after all, hes my child." [Note: Of course, after all, hes our garbage Traveler (proud~)] Luo Xi extracted his head from Dragon Mamas embrace. He lowered his head and whispered, "Uh, would you like to come in and sit for a while?" The woman teased with a laugh, "Little Brat, not calling me Grandpa anymore?" "Could I call you Grandma instead..." Luo Xi felt the temperature around him suddenly drop, as if continuing to speak would put someone at an immediate risk of dying on the spot. He quickly corrected himself, "Sister!" Florecias eyes widened. No, why would you call her sister? Doesnt that make me older than the Lord? You fool, change your words quickly! Now were doomed! Yet the Black Dragon didnt seem to have the slightest bit of aversion to Luo Xis address. She just smiled and said, "The title Sister is quite interesting; it reminds me of someone from my past." Luo Xi was surprised, "Somone from the past?" "Lets not talk about those things." The woman shook her head and said, "Where shall we sit? Make it quick; my time is very limited. If I stay down here too long, I might inadvertently cause permanent damage to the surrounding area." "Then lets go to..." Snapping his fingers, Luo Xis action was followed by a sound. Of the remaining 500 Power of Divine Tree, another 300 was spent. However, Luo Xi noticed that the ring encircling the Black Dragon seemed to be on the verge of collapsing. The Black Dragon casually broke the golden rings around her and said, "Forget it, you all go ahead, Ill find my own way." Luo Xi nodded. Using the Divine Trees teleportation power, he brought them to the manors tea room and turned on the lights. The next second, a swathe of black shadow appeared behind Luo Xi, and the woman transformed from the Black Dragon stepped out. She surveyed the human construction and clicked her tongue in admiration, "Its been so long since Ive been to a human place. The last time was before the last time. If Chi and Bai knew I snuck down here alone, theyd have a field day giving me a hard time, saying I sneaked off to enjoy myself. Heh, Isla is sleeping all day in Grey Dream and no one talks about her, so whats wrong if I come out to have some Chapter 436 - 293 Red Dragon Lolita Mom and Black Dragon Royal Elder Sister and Garbage Traveler_2 Chapter 436: Chapter 293 Red Dragon Lolita Mom and Black Dragon Royal Elder Sister and Garbage Traveler_2Luo Xi and Florecia dared not interrupt the mutterings of this person, only listening silently on the side. Compared to this individual, even Dragon Mama was a junior, the kind who didnt dare speak loudly. At this moment, in the bedroom, Weier settled Aina comfortably on the bed and contemplated going out again to check the situation. However, as soon as she stepped out of the door, she noticed that the lights were on in the manors tea room. Wasnt that place previously unused? Why would the lights be on? Cat Cat furrowed her brow and slowly made her way toward the tea room. Tea room. Luo Xi sat on the sofa, intending to call someone to brew a cup of tea, but Bahamut rejected the idea, so Luo Xi, having no choice, took a few bottles of wine from the cellar. Crack The cork was popped off with a flick, and the woman turned the wine bottle upside down, gulping it down into her stomach. Luo Xi watched in shock as the Black Dragon Lady drank wine like it was water. Was she really capable of drinking like this? Was this a habit she picked up when she took human form and roamed the land? Suddenly, Luo Xi became somewhat interested in the Black Dragons past. Bahamut wiped off the residual wine from her lips and sighed, "Comfortable, its been a long time since Ive tasted wine, do you have more? Id like to take some with me when I leave." Luo Xi quickly replied, "Yes, we do, the cellars inventory is all yours after this." "Not bad, Little Brat is quite accommodating!" The woman nodded in satisfaction and said, "You neednt worry about the Noah Church anymore. After tonight, they certainly wont dare to have any designs on this town, unless that Pope is an idiot. Furthermore, I dont know how you managed to take ownership of this Divine Tree away from Noah, but best not use this method in the Shining Country again. I wont be back for at least a few months after I leave, and if you really anger them, you stand no chance against them." "I understand," Luo Xi nodded. He had not intended to continue his actions in the Shining Country in the first place. "By the way." The woman extended her hand, and after a flash of light, a large number of bright white leaves rustled down, piling up on the floor. "These leaves from Noah and this branch are their compensation to you." Then, a branch about a dozen meters long landed on the floor. "This is a twig which can be used to craft staffs and similar weapons; it should be a fine material, possibly enough to forge Legendary level weapons. Its a pity Noah reacted too fast; otherwise, I could have plucked more, the leaves taste quite good... Did you hear me?" Luo Xi stared dumbfounded at the pile of leaves and the branch almost spanning the width of the tea room, casually tossed aside by the Black Dragon. [Eternal World TreeLeaves of Noah x10233] [Quality: Legendary] [Category: Special Material/Food Ingredient/Potion Material/...] [Properties: Can be used for forging, potion making, alchemy, cooking, or certain Sublimation processes for upgrading; also can be consumed directly as Legendary level potion ingredients to restore life and Yuan Su; for Divine Tree controllers, these leaves each contain a thousand points of Power of Divine Tree which can be absorbed directly for conversion] [Description: These are leaves plucked from the most nutritious top of the Eternal World TreeNoah, and you might glow after eating them, you know?] [Eternal World TreeBroken Branch from Noahs Top] [Quality: Legendary] [Category: Special Material/Potion Material...] [Properties: Can be used for forging, or certain Sublimation processes for upgrading; it contains 10,000 points of Power of Divine Tree, which can be absorbed directly for conversion] Upon seeing these two items, the first thing Luo Xi thought of was the Cradle and Nest he owned, which required 10,000 Eternal Divine Tree leaves and a top branch for upgrading. The preciousness of these two items went without saying. Legendary level forging materials meant that if he could find a Craftsman of Grandmaster tier, it might be possible to forge Legendary level equipment. Although its likely there werent many Craftsmen of Grandmaster tier. Luo Xi hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Are these for me?" "Of course, they are for you and Little Fu. For me, taking them would at best mean chewing a few as a dessert, theyre not of much use." The woman slowly stood up from her seat, her brows slightly raised as she looked at Luo Xi and said, "Ive handed these over to you, and I have quite a few questions Id like to ask you, Traveler from another world, the chosen proxy for the great wills cooperation. Do you have the determination to give your all for the sake of our world?" Luo Xis eyes slightly narrowed. Had this Black Dragon seen through all his secrets? However, hed been grilled by the Damn Text several times about this question, and Luo Xi responded without showing a hint of fear. [Note: Grilled? I had the idea that if the garbage Traveler ran away, Id turn myself into a Little Lolita to persuade you. My efforts are substantial!~] Tsk, Damn Text, youre all talk, all that ice cream and everything is a lie. [Note: Ungrateful scumbag Traveler! Next time, Ill definitely stuff that ice cream into your mouth! ()!] ??? Luo Xi didnt care about the Damn Text, he thought for a moment, and said, "If youd asked me this question a month ago... Oh, I hadnt encountered Dawn at that time, anyway, hearing such a question from you back then, Id probably have run away on the spot." "And now?" "Now, I cant just walk away anymore." Luo Xi glanced towards the door and sighed lightly, "In this world, Ive met many important people, these relationships arent so easy to abandon. Cat Cat, stop hiding, eavesdropping is not a good habit." "Who, whos eavesdropping! I just got here!" Squeak Weier didnt use her powers to enter, but opened the door normally and walked in, her delicate little face flushed with embarrassment, clearly because Luo Xi had caught her eavesdropping. Quietly, Cat Cat cast a glance at the people inside the teahouse. The incredibly beautiful figure of the woman was immediately in her sight. So pretty! The Black Dragon glanced at Cat Cat, "The blood factor of the Ghost Night Shadow Cat?" Weier said blankly, "Ghost Night Shadow Cat?" "Thats the name of the Origin Beast from which your factor originates, a high-ranking king-tier member of the Cat Clan Origin Beasts. Each Origin Beast that reaches king-tier on its own is almost unique, so as long as Ive seen it once, I can recognize it at a glance." With a hint of curiosity, the Black Dragon added, "However, the Ghost Night Shadow Cat died a long time ago, and no Origin Beast has re-trodden its path since then. The factor inside you shouldnt be a natural residue. It must have been deliberately preserved by someone for you to be infected with it later, right?" Weier: "!" So, the reason her mother was infected with the Mutant Factor when pregnant with her, was it part of a conspiracy? Her mother had never told her these things. Clenching her fists, Cat Cats mind was in disarray. Luo Xi stood up, pulled Weier over, and placed her on his lap, halfway between resistance and compliance. The young mans gentle voice resounded in the girls ear. "Its okay, were here." "Mm..." Weier nodded silently. The appearance of a Ghost Night Shadow Cat factor infector was but a minor incident for Bahamut. She looked at Luo Xi, and at the cat-eared girl he had placed on his lap, and asked, "Is this the reason youre willing to risk everything for this world?" Without any hesitation, Luo Xi said, "Yes." Weiers petite body quivered slightly. Was he talking about her? Sar?h the N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Or Aina? Or both of them? "I see," said the Black Dragon in a deep tone. "Youll need to work hard. Even with the entity behind you offering support, this world has already reached the brink of the end. The forces from outside have been eyeing this world for thousands, tens of thousands of years, engineering accidents that have caused the fall of sixteen Eternal World Trees. The remaining sixteen Eternal World Trees are barely enough to keep the world running normally now." "The grand will is also struggling desperately." "Dont pin your hopes on us, for we have our own matters to attend to, or else this world will perish even faster." "Travelers from other worlds, strive on. You are the only solvers." Chapter 437 - 293 Dragon Lady: Don’t abandon mom! Blessings of the Green Dragon Isla (6k)_1 Chapter 437: Chapter 293 Dragon Lady: Dont abandon mom! Blessings of the Green Dragon Isla (6k)_1Luo Xi nodded heavily. No need for further words, his determination had already been made. Unless he wanted to deliberately summon the Damn Text one day, to see that proud ice cream she always used as a bargaining chip, Luo Xi would never abandon this world. [Note: Im not falling for such a low trick! ()! And Im not prideful either!] Tch, telepathic texts are such a hassle. Luo Xi put his stray thoughts aside. Even though his mind was set, he felt slightly embarrassed after realizing the great expectations the Black Dragon had for him. Or was it the expectation the Black Dragon had for all Otherworldly Travelers? After all, the Black Dragon addressed them as Travelers from the Otherworld. Indeed, Luo Xi was somewhat puzzled. Beings like them, already standing at the pinnacle of this world, could squash any number of players with one swipe of their claws. If those things they themselves couldnt resist, what could the players do? What significance does the arrival of Otherworldly Travelers have for this world? The stunning woman the Black Dragon had transformed into retook her seat, lightly stroking the black hair that fell on her arm. Her pure golden pupils stared at Luo Xi as she spoke calmly, "The second thing I want to know, the one behind you, is she the will of your world?" Luo Xi shook his head, "Im not sure, she wont tell me. Its possible." After all, the Damn Text had the rights to update "Dawn." The prior Dark Void Tree DLC event also demonstrated to some extent her control over the real world. [Note: Im really not, Im quite free!~] S~ea??h the N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The Black Dragon nodded, "My questions are over. Now you can ask me something, but only two questions, as I dont have much time left." After some thought, Luo Xi asked, "May I know, the threat this world is facing is..." "It is an extraneous deity," The Black Dragon slowly shook her head, "We should not discuss its form, its actions, or call its name, lest you risk being seen by It." "Hmm... I understand," Luo Xi nodded with anticipation. [Note: Whats there to ask about? If I could talk, I wouldve told you, worthless Traveler, long ago. When it involves outer gods, no amount of caution is too much. You might as well ask the Big Sister Black Dragon if she can turn into a cute Lolita!~] What a lousy idea! I dont want to die ah ah! Weier was completely baffled, not understanding what the two were discussing. It felt like something very high-end. Florecia appeared contemplative. The destruction of the three Eternal World Trees managing the seasVoid, Tide, and Tenderwaterseemingly occurred shortly after her transformation from human to dragonkin. After spending thousands of years climbing slowly, advancing from a little dragon to a sovereign and acquiring the title Abyss Flame Dragon, she had been guarding the southern coast of the Emerald Forest at the Sea Looking Out, as per the Lords orders. She calculated that she had been on watch for over five thousand years. During those five thousand years, she had witnessed the sea becoming increasingly strange, and she was utterly disgusted by the ghostly things within it. No matter how much she burned them, they never completely disappeared, so she could only continuously repel them and send them back. Could those ghostly things also be related to the extraneous god the Lord just mentioned? And the strange Fallen Divine Trees that had appeared a few days ago... the same exact aura. Florecia felt a sudden surge of anxiety. In the past, she thought her power was sufficient, believing that no matter what, she could ensure the childrens safety, and if worse came to worst, she would take them to her side for protection. But if that so-called extraneous deity was truly to descend upon this world, what could she do against something that even Bahamut and Lord Alexilita could not handle? The Black Dragon consoled, "Theres no need for too much panic. Its true entity cannot yet descend here, or else there wouldnt have been such lengthy scheming over the years. Also, it should be safe to tell you somethingthat the word Truth is its moniker in this world. It is a tool It uses to delude beings like humans and elves, enticing them willingly to become Its minions." "Church of Truth?!" "Church of Truth?" Luo Xi and Weier exclaimed at the same time. Both were highly sensitive to the Church of Truth. Winter City was nearly the stronghold of the Church of Truth. If not for the Disaster Churchs Hill being even more devious, the Church of Truth would have caused Luo Xi the greatest trouble. Rat King Noss seemed to be from the Church of Truth too, although he didnt appear to get along well with Hill, his foster father. "The Church of Truth is related to an outer god?" Weier, hearing something crucial, was agitated. She attempted to get down from Luo Xis leg but lost her balance and nearly toppled over. She was already exhausted. Though the rights to the Belgri Divine Tree could be transferred to someone else, she wasnt the true Lord; it wasnt as convenient to use, and her ability to stay awake was solely due to her willpower. Thus, seeing Weier about to fall, Luo Xi quickly caught her and brought her back into his arms. "Meow!" Weier let out a shy cry. Luo Xis body was incredibly hot. Sitting on his thighs was like sitting on a warmly heated stone. In less than two minutes, she felt her own body heating up. Chapter 438 - 293 Dragon Lady: Don’t abandon mom! Blessings of the Green Dragon Isla (6k)_2 Chapter 438: Chapter 293 Dragon Lady: Dont abandon mom! Blessings of the Green Dragon Isla (6k)_2And with this up and down movement, the girls small buttocks touched the young mans thigh even more closely. This strange sensation immediately muddled the pure and tsundere cat-eared girls mind. "Who am I, meow?" "Where am I, meow?" "What am I doing, meow?" [Ding! Weiers Shyness Value +55] Soon after, Weier felt her tail being grasped by a broad palm. She really wanted to pull it back immediately, but Luo Xis gentle voice slowly rose. "Tired? Do you want me to take you back to sleep?" "Im not tired, put me down..." Weier wanted Luo Xi to just place her aside, but upon seeing the lurking Dragon Lady, Cat Cat realized that if she left this spot, in the next second, Luo Xi might be pressed into her unfair, large snowy embrace. Then, she would have no choice but to stand idly by and watch. The girl bit her lip as a blush spread to her ears, and she spoke in a tiny, mosquito-like voice, "Its okay, Im not tired, you guys keep talking." "Okay." Luo Xi picked up Weiers tail from behind her and rubbed it against his face, its soft and fluffy hair reminiscent of the fuzz on a down jacket hood, which was incredibly comfortable. [Ding! Your Happiness Level +66] Indeed, beast eared girls are a source of happiness! Florecia glanced over, feeling a bit displeased inside. She knew full well that both sisters had designs on her child, and as his mother, she should not feel this way. These were important memories for Luo Xis future, but she just couldnt help feeling annoyed. But is that really what a normal mother should think? Hmph, she was just being a mother, safeguarding her child, wasnt she? Didnt the humans of old all do the same? Florecia quickly convinced herself. Yet the look she gave Cat Cat remained icy cold. Weier shivered slightly. Odd, Luo Xis body was so warm, so why was she feeling cold? As for Luo Xi, he held the tail in front of him and, through Weiers translucent white fur, looked at the Big Sister Black Dragon in front of him and asked the second question. "Is there a possibility for us Mutant Patients to tread the path of Sublimation?" Luo Xi had long sought the answer to this question. He had even asked the Damn Text, but it wouldnt tell him, claiming it didnt matter what he became. Dare I ask if this is fair? After Luo Xis question, Dragon Mama and Cat Cat trembled at the same time. Weier was somewhat touched. She knew Luo Xi wasnt only asking for himself. He was doing it for her... and for Aina. Florecias crimson, vertical pupils widened massively. A moment later, Dragon Mama pounced forward, hugging Luo Xi around the waist, and without hiding her emotions, cried like a teenage girl, "Little Luoxi, are you going to leave mama? What did mama do wrong? Mama cant be without you!" Luo Xi: "..." If he just changed the word mama to something else, he would become a scumbag who abandoned his lover at the end. He recognized once more how much Florecia valued having a descendant with blood ties to her. The Black Dragon Big Sister frowned displeasurely. She snorted. "Hmph, what is this decorum? Get up!" In an instant, Florecia shivered and then settled down calmly, with tears still in the corners of her eyes. Luo Xi looked dumbfounded at his shirt soaked by Dragon Mamas tears. [Clothes moistened by the tears of the Black Abyss Flame Dragon (extractable)] [Quality: Purple Color (Epic-)] [Category: Special Material] [Property: Eating a certain amount can increase strength and recovery ability by 10% for a short time, can heal injuries, but if used by ordinary people, there is a possibility of causing them to develop Mutation Syndrome] [Description: Loli Dragon Mama is a treasure all over, with blood, saliva, tears, and... crap, Traveler, are you sure you dont want to collect more?] Enough is enough! Although Florecia was indeed very kind to him, Luo Xi did not want to use her goodwill to turn her into a tool dragon. What is the difference between that and being a scumbag? "Lord Bahamut..." The Dragon Horn girl looked woefully into the eyes of the Black Dragon Big Sister in front of her with teary eyes. The Black Dragon spoke somewhat helplessly, "People have their own aspirations, you cannot demand that he take your path. You should be clear by now, Luo Xi does not belong to our world, and his future will definitely not end at your bloodline factors. He will go much farther, and by that time, those factors of yours will continue to weaken." "Little Fu, your understanding of descendants is too narrow. Think about it again, why did you find him, in the end?" "Oh..." Florecia didnt quite catch the second half of the Black Dragons words, still looking wronged as she responded softly. Sarch* The N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. She just wanted to have a happy and interesting world for just the two of them with Little Luoxi in the future. What was wrong with that? The days alone guarding the sea were too lonely. Whether it was ten years or a hundred years, she didnt care, for she had already lived eight thousand years, and she wasnt short on time. But if Luo Xi turned to the path of Sublimation and failed to complete the transformation into a dragon, even clearing out the blood factors that belonged to her from his body, would he still be her child? Florecia put her legs on the sofa, bare calves and tender feet resting on the edge, as she hugged her knees and fell silent without a word. Chapter 439 - 293 Dragon Lady: Don’t abandon mom! Blessings of the Green Dragon Isla (6k)_3 Chapter 439: Chapter 293 Dragon Lady: Dont abandon mom! Blessings of the Green Dragon Isla (6k)_3Dragon Mama is offline in her own world (jpg). The Black Dragon couldnt be bothered to console her silly subordinate. After all, she would come to her senses sooner or later. Luo Xi thought for a moment, reached out, and gently touched the head of Dragon Lady a few times. In the past, it was always Dragon Mama who touched him, but this time he finally got to return the gesture. "I wont abandon you, Mama, no matter what," he whispered. Florecia raised her head, wiped her tear-stained pretty face, and said, "Mama believes in you!" "Alright, listen up, I dont have much time." Sar?h the N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The Black Dragon looked at Luo Xi, somewhat sentimental, and said, "Those known as Mutant Patients in ancient times were called Recipients of Blood. Many people actively sought out the powerful Origin Beasts to taint them with their bloodline factors. After all, the Sublimation pathway is stable but requires too many materials and is limited by the World Tree. However, its different for the blood recipients; the only test is your compatibility with the bloodline factor." "Who would have thought that times have changed, and the revered Recipients of Blood of the past have now become Mutant Patients scorned by their own kind." "Back then, people were truly strong-willed. Even if their compatibility was low, they could still control the power of the bloodline factors to a high degree with their human bodies. Many retained their humanity even after transforming, unlike nowadays, where people tainted by bloodline factors are likely to lose their willpower in the later stages." "You wish to embark on the path of Sublimation, and logically, it should be impossible. The way of Sublimation is granted by the Eternal World Tree and conflicts with our kinds bloodline factors. Nevertheless, there are always exceptionally gifted individuals. Ive seen a Variant of the Bird Clan who mastered both the power of Azure Sky Bluebird and the Sublimation pathway associated with the Azure World Tree. When the properties of Sublimation and Mutation are very similar, its possible to possess both and to switch between them." Luo Xi listened carefully, digesting what the Black Dragon had said. So, if I want to pursue the path of Sublimation, I must find a pathway that belongs to the Flame Category and is also mixed with the Dark Category? And Cat Cat needs to find a Sublimation pathway similar to the Ghost Night Shadow Cat? Its so difficult... Its easier if theres a target, but without one, its like searching blindly like a headless fly. The Dream World is so vast, who could possibly find it? "If you really want to pursue the path of Sublimation," The Black Dragon hesitated for a moment, then said, "I can help by getting a lazy bum over here to bless you, which might guide you to the places where you can find what you need." Luo Xi: "!" He immediately nodded and said, "Then I thank you very much." As expected from a leader of the Black Dragon who contends with the Eternal World Tree. Problems that I couldnt fathom by questioning the Damn Text, Big Sister Black Dragon provided a solution in an instant. [Note: I gave such great things to you, Garbage Traveler, and you ignored them? I am getting angry! ()!] In a space filled with starlight, akin to the universe. A petite figure enveloped in pure white light is angrily kicking at the hologram before her eyes. This hologram was Luo Xi. "I gave you two Origin texts, you heartless Trash Fish Traveler, hmph!" "If it werent for my insufficient knowledge of the Dream World, I wouldnt be this passive!" "Ice cream, you really want ice cream that much, next time Ill just freeze it and shove it in your mouth!" After speaking, the Black Dragon closed her eyes. Luo Xi took the opportunity to take another look at Big Sister Black Dragon Lady, so stunningly beautiful. [Ding! Your Lust Value -10] [Ding! Your Lust Value -5] Even though the semi-transparent white underskirt seemed tempting, Luo Xi entered a sage-like mode, growing more serene the more he looked. Suddenly, a pitch-black rift appeared in the womans hand, shattering the wine bottle she was holding. The rift spread instantly, clipping a strand of Luo Xis hair. [Ding! Your Fear Value +15] Before Luo Xi could apologize, the Black Dragon suddenly opened her eyes, looking somewhat resigned as she threw the broken bottle on the ground. "Are you so eager to send me away?" Even though she had taken on human form, her power ultimately exceeded the limit that this continent could bear, especially her authority over destruction and devouring. A slight spillage could cause irreparable damage to the area. The power that had previously resided within Luo Xi was only a minuscule fraction of hers, the insignificant kind; otherwise, the explosion would have likely obliterated the entire town. Fortunately, she had already made contact with that person. Though that lazy dog was unlikely to come over, asking her to send the item directly was still feasible. A massive green ring appeared in the center of the teahouse. When Luo Xi saw it, a forest brimming with boundless green stretched within the ring, and a colossal green dragon lay far away, sleeping peacefully. Florecia looked up, her golden vertical pupils revealing a hint of shock. Apart from Lord Bahamut, she had seldom seen other Dragon Emperors. And now, within a few days, she had met three legendary Lords. The Black Dragon looked indifferently inside and then said, "Isla, stop sleeping. Youve been at it for a few thousand years, right? Both White and Red are starting to look at you sideways." "Bahamut, youre so annoying. Why bother me when Im doing nothing? And its not like Im sleeping for no reason. Without me, Grey Dream would have been long gone." Chapter 440 - 293 Dragon Lady: Don’t abandon mom! Blessings of the Green Dragon Isla (6k)_4 Chapter 440: Chapter 293 Dragon Lady: Dont abandon mom! Blessings of the Green Dragon Isla (6k)_4A voice that sounded a bit soft and cute echoed in the teahouse. Luo Xis expression suddenly turned weird. Hearing this somewhat cute voice, wouldnt this transformed Green Dragon be a little girl? [Note:] The Black Dragon said, "Isla, bestow your blessing upon them." "My blessing? Them? Whats that? Wait, why are there humans with you?" The colossal Green Dragon instantly opened its dragon eyes and moved its head to look at Luo Xi and the others, its golden slit pupils filled with greenish hues emanating majesty. "Humans, what business do you have seeking me?" This time, the Green Dragons voice sounded deep and muffled, like a middle-aged person in their forties or fifties. Luo Xi: "..." Come on, boss, drop the act, youve already given yourself away! The Black Dragon frowned and said, "I dont have much time left, hurry up. Its just a few blessings, nothing too significant for you." The soft and cute voice sounded again: "No, Black, could you at least give me some face?" "Do you even have such a thing? Among our legends, youre the least serious one, even getting caught by humans as a thief..." "Stop, stop, stop! Who are they to you, that you would come to me personally to bless them?" "Maybe... the Solvers." "No wonder. Fine, just you guys then? Im going to release the blessing now." "Please wait a moment." Luo Xi snapped his fingers lightly and pulled Aina, who was sleeping back in the bedroom, over. He couldnt play favorites; he really didnt want Aina to see Weier with something she didnt have and become yandere on the spot. "Okay." A green light suddenly shot out from within the circle, enveloping the heads of everyone in the teahouse. [Ding! You have received the Green DragonIslas Blessing (Legend)] [Friendly Reminder: Unless the giver of the blessing retracts it, the blessing will remain effective forever] [Islas Blessing (Legend)] [Effect: When you have something you want to do, if you ponder by day and dream by night, theres a certain probability that in your dreams youll find the direction you should head in] Luo Xi rubbed his brow. It seemed there was no difference? "Done! By the way, Black, what are you doing down there? Are you slacking? Believe it or not, Ill report you..." The Black Dragon directly switched off the green circle within the teahouse. Her gaze moved across Luo Xi and Florecias faces and she said indifferently, "I have to leave now too. After Im gone, if you wish to call upon me again, I wont be able to help, so take care of yourselves." "And Little Fu, dont forget to return after tomorrow. The presence left by Alexilita will be consumed within three days, and afterwards, youll be needed to stand guard there." "Mm..." Florecia nodded silently. She knew her mission. Although she was reluctant to leave the vacation shed had these past few days, and Luo Xi, she ultimately had to go back. She just hoped that Little Luoxi would come to visit her more often in the future. Wait a second, could Luo Xis Hollow Flower be planted where she was? The Black Dragon moved slowly towards the window. Luo Xi suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to ask her for a new scale. But he had already gotten a lot this time. Leaves and branches of the Eternal World Tree Noah, as well as Islas blessing... Would he seem too greedy if he now asked the Black Dragon for a scale? Bahamuts figure turned into countless black particles and surged out the window. Luo Xi handed Aina over to Weier and rushed to the window, then saw a black giant dragon soaring into the sky. And then, something fluttered down gently. Luo Xi reached out his hand, caught it, and brought it inside reverently. [Bahamuts Scale] [Quality: Gold (Legend)] [Category: Special Material] Sarch* The N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Florecia respectfully watched the Black Dragons departure, while Weier was sensing something different about herself. Weier, unlike Luo Xi, didnt have the "Damn Text" on her, so she couldnt precisely understand the changes in her body, but she still felt that something had been added to her. The blessing of Green Dragon Isla? In a single day, she had seen two legendary dragons and even received a blessing from one of them. Such events were beyond her wildest imagination in the past. Her mother surely couldnt have imagined this either. Cat Cat looked on with a complex expression at Luo Xi, who was still standing there, holding the door-sized black scale in a daze. That creature had left way too hastily. Luckily, she had chosen to follow it. She felt a slight sense of relief. "Ill take Aina back to sleep first. You guys... should also get some sleep early." Weier picked up the still sleeping Aina and spoke softly, then she left the tea room. She felt that she could sleep for a whole day. Luo Xi put Bahamuts scales into her Dreamland pack. After hesitating, she also took out the "Cradle and Nest" from the pack. Ten thousand leaves of the Eternal World Tree Noah and a branch tip had already met the upgrade requirements given by the Damn Text from before. The leaves that Black Dragon Bahamut had casually thrown onto the ground were still twinkling with a soft, white luster. Each leaf held a thousand units of the Power of Divine Tree. If all were used for the Belgri Divine Tree to absorb and transform, it would be more than ten million units of Divine Tree Power. sea??h th Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. This showed just how powerful the Eternal World Tree truly was. The strength of Black Dragon Bahamut, who could forcefully pluck these leaves from Noah, was also apparent. [Cradle and Nest] [Quality: Gold (Legendary/Unique)] [Description: An artifact made from the branches and leaves of sixteen destroyed Eternal World Trees, possessing the power to protect visitors to the Dream World. If materials from a still-living Eternal World Tree are used, it can be upgraded.] [Ding! Upgrade materials detected - leaves of Eternal World Tree Noah and a branch tip. Proceed with quality upgrade? (Requires ten thousand leaves and a branch tip)] Luo Xi propped her chin and pondered. To upgrade or not? The maximum Divine Tree Power of the Belgri Divine Tree was 500,000, and only five hundred leaves would be needed to fill it. If Divine Tree Power is full, could it ascend to a higher Tier? However, if it was used for the Belgri Divine Trees absorption, then the upgrade of the Cradle and Nest would have to wait... After seriously considering for a long time, Luo Xi decided to go ahead with upgrading the "Cradle and Nest." After all, apart from the Origin, these artifacts were the highest quality items in Luo Xis possession, and both Origins were not something she could use as she pleased. Besides, Luo Xi always felt there was more than meets the eye with this item. [Yes] [Ding! Upgrade in progress... Please wait...] Under the astonished gaze of Luo Xi and Florecia, the leaves on the ground and the several meters long "branch" began to float. Ten thousand leaves were divided into two equal stacks, each entering the Cradle and the Nest respectively. The branch split down the middle, its shape twisting and expanding. Luo Xi, seeing that something ominous might happen, immediately snapped her fingers and moved everything out of the room. In the spacious backyard of the manor, Noahs branch returned to its true form. Although split in two, each was over thirty meters long. They twisted and gradually integrated into the main structure of the Cradle and Nest. [Estimated Upgrade Time: 12 hours] The girl with the dragon horns came over and whispered, "Little Luo Xi, is this the item you told me could bring Mom over to your place?" Luo Xi smiled and replied, "Yeah, it should be ready by noon tomorrow." If the upgrade would take over a day, Luo Xi might consider remaking it. After all, the budget-friendly Dragon Mama would leave after tomorrow, and he had promised to take her to the real world. He wondered how many people it could carry after the upgrade? Two, three? Florecia gave a slight nod, her golden vertical pupils glowing faintly. Going to another world for a visit before returning to the tedious task of guarding the coast was something she was very much looking forward to. "Ha" Luo Xi yawned with weariness and said, "Mama Ressia, Im going to leave as well. You should rest early." The upgrade of the Mutant Factor had also had a certain impact on her. However, possibly because she had undergone an upgrade at Florecias place before, there were no side effects requiring a deep sleep this time. The only major side effect was the tail behind her... The Dragon Horn girl blinked and asked, "Then, Mama can hold you, Little Luo Xi, to sleep, right?" Luo Xi, torn between laughter and tears, responded, "This version of me becomes an empty shell once my consciousness leaves. Are you planning to use me as a pillow?" Both Cat Cat and Aina had little interest in his state as a shell when his consciousness was absent. "What is a pillow?" "Uh... something like a big pillow you can hold while sleeping?" "Oh, that doesnt sound very interesting; forget it. But, Little Luo Xi, you promised, remember? Dont abandon Mama, or she will be very sad." Florecia embraced Luo Xis hand, her moist golden vertical pupils staring at him, her dragon tail anxiously arching behind her. Luo Xi: "..." Chapter 442 - 294: Dragon Mama’s Love and Tears, Cradle Upgrade, Traveler’s Rage (6k)_2 Chapter 442: Chapter 294: Dragon Mamas Love and Tears, Cradle Upgrade, Travelers Rage (6k)_2Youre a dragon, not a dog, hey! "No, I wont," he said seriously. "Hmm!" Florecia showed a satisfied smile. In fact, she was clear that Lord Bahamut was right; Luo Xi might one day completely break away from her. But so what? Even if Little Luo Xi was deceiving her, even if he might abandon her bloodline factor, even if one day he would leave this world, being deceived so tenderly by her child was also quite nice... "Ressia Mama, you should also go back to your room to rest. I still need to make a trip to the underground workshop." Luo Xi suddenly remembered Alte and Master Craftsman Fredman, who were still in the underground storeroom repairing Spark. After Luo Xi left, Florecia leaned against a tree in the backyard by herself. The girl clasped her full, snowy white chest and looked up at the sky. The wind blew past her ears, lifting her red hair and drawing out strands of sparks. Several clear droplets fell to the ground with the wind. "Why... why am I still crying?" Florecia looked at the tears in her own palms in bewilderment. Is it reluctance? Or a mothers love? The manors underground storeroom. "I think we must use a material mixed with Mithril fine gold and high-grade flame materials in order to resist the ice from Snow Disaster Mioslite. Otherwise, wont the Lord be frozen like a dog when he uses the power armor?" "You underestimate Lord Luo Xi too much. His own Mutation ability is of the flame category. Although I do not understand these rune structures, they should have an effect of amplifying the users ability. Adding flame materials might be superfluous, right?" "So add just a little?" "We can add that later. Lets first incorporate the Eternal Ice." "Right, one step at a time." The two old men were still discussing. Although their minds were also affected under Xiuss broad-range Divine Skill, after waking up, the two old men didnt bother to look at the situation outside and continued to discuss the repair of Spark. With the Dragon Lady out there, it would be strange if they lost. "Master, why not go ask the Lord himself what his needs are?" Wen Huan asked from the side. Fredman shook his head, "Theres no need this time. Were not forging, just repairing. Once we mix the materials and put them in, the Rune Power Armor should automatically restore to its best condition." Luo Xi glanced outside the door and left. He didnt want to disturb the enthusiasm of those Craftsmen. Speaking of flame materials, he thought of Florecias scales. At least her Dragon Scales should be of epic material grade, right? Using them to strengthen Spark should be good. It wouldnt be too late to ask for them tomorrow. Reality. When Luo Xi woke up from his bed, he saw Ai Xue kneeling at the foot of the bed. The girl had slightly red eyes and looked quite dejected. "Hmm?" Luo Xi felt somewhat puzzled. Whats going on? He looked at his lower half. Sarch* The Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. As expected, the pants were gone. After tasting the sweetness, Ai Xues hands-on ability was getting stronger and stronger. After all, a +1 in Strength and Physique every time, although he didnt know where the limit was, even if it could only increase by twenty or thirty points, it was a good deal. Why does it feel a bit like a crucible in those cultivation novels... No, the crucible turned out to be me! Seeing Luo Xi wake up, Ai Xue lowered her head even more and whispered, "Senior... I did something wrong, I might have broken you, Senior cant even stand up now..." Luo Xi: "???" What the hell? [Ding! Your Anger Value +55] How could a man be said to not be able to stand up! [Note: Trashy Fish Traveler, actually being soft is also very adorable~] Scram! The girl was still whispering softly, apologizing, and the next second, her waist was pinned by two feet, lifting her forward. Luo Xi laid the girl down in his arms and kissed her gently. "Ah?" Ai Xue was surprised by the rapidly heating up object of Luo Xi. Why? Before she could ponder why Luo Xi couldnt stand up earlier, soon, a look of pain appeared on her delicate, pretty face. "Mm." The girl struggled to lift her head and checked the time displayed on the television set-top box on the opposite table. 1:36. Humph. The 1:30 a.m. me is a bit smaller than Miss Cat Lady, right? I thought it might break, but it turns out its still okay~ ... [Ding! Due to the intake of external pure Yuan Su, your Strength/Physique +1] .... Ring ring ring The sky was getting slightly light, and the east was tinged with a touch of fish-belly white. Luo Xi reached for his phone on the bedside and pressed the answer button. Who has the ethics to disturb someones sleep so early? However, when Luo Xi answered the phone, what the logistics staff from the agency said on the other side snapped him out of his drowsiness immediately. "Advisor Luo Xi, there is something I must tell you. Thirty minutes ago, your grandmother in the countryside was attacked." "Hmm... wait, what did you say?!" A scorching heat surged from Luo Xis body, immediately awakening Ai Xue, who looked very tired between her eyes and brows. "Senior?" Luo Xi raised his hand to signal Ai Xue to stay quiet for now. The logistics continued, "Please dont worry. We have set up a newly miniaturized Yuan Su Resonance Disseminator at your hometown, and weve also sent a team to protect your relatives. Those attackers retreated as soon as they realized we were there, so your grandmother was not in danger." Chapter 443 - 294: Dragon Mama’s Love and Tears, Cradle Upgrade, Traveler’s Rage (6k)_3 Chapter 443: Chapter 294: Dragon Mamas Love and Tears, Cradle Upgrade, Travelers Rage (6k)_3"Thank you all for this; Ill be counting on you in the future as well," Luo Xi said. Luo Xi breathed a sigh of relief. The staff at the Travel Bureau were indeed reliable. Speaking of which, its been a month since he last visited his hometown. It was time to pay a visit to his grandmother and his uncles. Though his biological parents neglected their duties and divorced early during his elementary school years, finding new lives for themselves and seldom visiting him, his uncles had been quite kind to him. Knowing that it was difficult for his grandmother to raise him alone, they typically gave substantial amounts for her pension and various gifts. In reality, Luo Xi knew they were finding ways to provide for his school living expenses and food. Why not just move Grandma and them over? With Luo Xis current financial situation, buying several houses to give to them was no issue at all. He could ask the Travel Bureau for their thoughts. After all, elders generally prefer rural life. If moved into urban concrete buildings like this, their mood might turn gloomy. Plus, Luo Xi had witnessed the effects of the Travel Bureaus Yuan Su resonance spreader. Unless someone was a Tier Four Transcendent, they would temporarily lose their abilities under the influence of the device. But where would you find a Tier Four now? However, even though the enemy didnt succeed, rage was still rising in Luo Xis heart. To strike at him was one thing; Luo Xi had become accustomed to occasionally dealing with a few shortsighted fools, and his nickname Black Death God wasnt for nothing. But to target his family. Were they aiming for his weak spot? Luo Xi asked with a heavy voice, "Who did this, do you know?" Logistics replied, "As you know, the World Dreamland Traveler United Council, or WDTC, was only recently established. Xia country holds considerable clout within it, and with you there, our say in the council has been growing stronger." The top-ranked global Transcendent with a king-level Red Dragon as a mount in the Dream world and suspected to be the controller of a Divine Tree capable of pacifying an entire town. Any of these titles was enough to bring Luo Xi into the purview of the big-shots. "So, you might be targeted by some countries with ulterior motives." Logistics spoke seriously, "But rest assured, the Travel Bureau and Xia country will always stand with you." Luo Xi replied earnestly, "Thank you." He liked this feeling. This was also why he didnt mind the official stance of the Xia countrys players. "Senior, your family..." Ai Xue asked softly from the side. "Its nothing, just a false alarm," Luo Xi said and caressed the girls charming face, now with a hint of blush. Witnessing a girl mature before his eyes from night till dawn was indeed incredible. Even more miraculous was watching her gradually become younger from dusk till the early hours. And also... more "criminal." Ai Xue shrank a little and asked, "Senior, do you want it now? But my body has changed back." "Im not some pervert who only has a thing for Lolita physiques!" Luo Xi was about to physically prove his sexual inclinations when his phone rang again. It was another call from the Travel Bureau logistics. He took the call once more. "Whats the matter?" Luo Xi inquired. The voice of logistics came through urgently, "Sorry, Consultant Luo Xi, weve just received the news. Both of your roommates, as well as your mother in Yunzhou City and your girlfriends cousin, Ai Xin Yue, went missing last night." Sar?h the ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Luo Xi: "???" My roommates? Could it be Wang Yuanjie and Chen Yao? Why would anyone kidnap them? And my mother in Yunzhou City? Dont those people know that I have no feelings for my parents whatsoever? As for Ai Xin Yue... Luo Xi glanced at Ai Xue, whose face still carried a blush. The girl looked puzzled and tilted her head. Acting nonchalant, Luo Xi asked, "And my father?" "Your father... hes still in Chengzhou Citys prison," came the response. Luo Xi: "..." Well, thats a relief. Luo Xi had only recently learned that his so-called father, to whom he was related only by blood, had landed himself two and a half years of jail time for injuring someone in a drunken brawl. Luo Xi asked, "When exactly did my roommates disappear?" "Judging from the evidence, it seems that someone entered the dorm room and took them between eleven oclock and midnight last night. They also left you coordinates. Sorry, we didnt expect those people to be so crazy as to touch your college mates and your girlfriends family." Luo Xi frowned deeply. If it happened during that time, it was inconveniently just outside todays retroactive time scope. Was it a deliberate lead? No matter, he needed to rewind time first. Luo Xi opened the text. [Traveler, you sat up from bed and placed your hand on your head] [Would you like to remake?] Before triggering MoonflowZero Point, Luo Xi suddenly remembered he still had one opportunity for a talent lottery draw. [Random Talent Lottery Draw x1 (Guaranteed to be Purple Color or higher talent)] [Friendly Reminder: In this talent pool, the chances of drawing White, Green, Blue talents are 0%, Purple talents are 90%, and Gold talents are 10%] [Would you like to use it?] Ninety percent chance for a Purple Color talent, ten percent for a Gold. Even with his mediocre luck, with enough rewinds, a 10% chance would eventually land him a Gold talent. Chapter 444 - 294: Dragon Mama’s Love and Tears, Cradle Upgrade, Traveler’s Rage (6k)_4 Chapter 444: Chapter 294: Dragon Mamas Love and Tears, Cradle Upgrade, Travelers Rage (6k)_4[Yes] A purple glow burst forth from the text. Luo Xi didnt hesitate. [Traveler, you have died] [Ding! Talent: MoonflowZero Point has been activated] [Would you like to use it?] [Yes] [Traveler, good luck~] When Luo Xi reopened his eyes, he found himself on the battlefield once again, his body still endowed with the power of Bahamut. Methodically, Luo Xi replicated his previous actions. However, after blowing up Xius, Luo Xi chose to break synchronization and, using the text, manipulated characters in the Dream World. He drove Ai Xue to school himself. At the same time, Luo Xi contacted the logistics of the Travel Agency and Nine Swords, telling them that someone overseas might be targeting him again, and to protect his relatives back home. On the passenger seat, Ai Xue could feel the anxiety emanating from the young man beside her and said with some unease, "Senior, what happened?" She was originally going to ask why her senior couldnt get going, but Luo Xis hurried actions upon waking up stopped her from saying more. "Someone is targeting me, and your cousin too, call her right now," Luo Xi said. "My cousin? Sister Heart Moon?" Ai Xue puzzledly picked up her phone and dialed Ai Xin Yue. But after a minute of ringing, there was no answer; the call showed as not answered. Indeed, aside from his grandmother who was protected and hesitated over by those people for a long time before they acted in the early hours, the others had been taken away at the same time last night. Ordinary people have no chance against Transcendents. Ten minutes later, Luo Xi arrived at the school. He climbed directly from the outer wall to the balcony of his fourth-floor dorm room and turned on the light. The dorm room was empty. On Luo Xis desk, he found a note with a set of coordinates on it. There was also a paragraph of printed text on another note. Black Death GodLuo Xi, this is a message for you. If you cant make it to this place by 18:00 on October 23rd, Xia country time, you know what will happen to your friends and family. By the way, someone will come to pick you up. You cannot bring anyone else with you, otherwise... Luo Xi narrowed his eyes. He searched for the coordinates on his phone. The location was on an island in the Pacific. They want to lure him out of Xia country, huh? He expected that, upon reaching the island, they would take him somewhere else. Bell "Advisor Luo Xi, your mother and that Ai Xin Yue both..." "I already know," Luo Xi said in a low voice. The call was suddenly transferred, it was from Nine Swords. Nine Swords bluntly said, "Luo Xi, theyre forcing you to go alone to the place theyve arranged, trying to nip you in the bud. Dont fall for it!" Sar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The power demonstrated by Luo Xi recently was enough for several countries to consider him a thorn in their side. "I know their purpose," Luo Xi said indifferently. "But this time, I will go." "Its a trap!" "I will not lose." Nine Swords fell silent. He wanted to say, you are indeed powerful, but this is reality, you cant bring your Red Dragon mount or anything from the Dream World over... In the end, he still didnt say it. "Just arrange a plane for me tomorrow." Luo Xi hung up the phone. Four people in total, huh? He didnt really care about his negligent mother; she might as well have been a stranger to him. But Luo Xi couldnt let his classmates die because of him. And there was Ai Xues cousin. Why involve unrelated people? Would those scheming from the shadows lose sleep if they knew theyd provoked a player who could turn back time? The young man stepped onto the balcony, looking up at the moon of this world, his pupils turning vertical and a pure gold color, with a tail slowly swaying behind him. Ai Xue, standing beside him, inexplicably felt a chill, even though it wasnt directed at her. ----- The protagonist is invincible! Watch as the protagonist slaughters with the Lolitas. After tomorrow, there will be 9,000 words each day until the end of the month when the remaining 11 Chapters are Chapter 445 - 294: Dragon Mama’s Love and Tears, Cradle Upgrade, Traveler’s Rage (6k)_1 Chapter 445: Chapter 294: Dragon Mamas Love and Tears, Cradle Upgrade, Travelers Rage (6k)_1(Editing, please wait.) Luo Xi nodded heavily. Without needing to elaborate, he had already made up his mind. Unless one day he intended to purposely provoke "Damn Text" to see her always-used-as-a-bargaining-chip proud ice cream, Luo Xi would never abandon this world. [Note: I would not fall for such a low trick! ()! And I am not arrogant!] Tsk, mind-reading scripts are really bothersome. Luo Xi cast aside the myriad thoughts in his mind. Although his resolve was firm, Luo Xi still felt slightly abashed after knowing that the Black Dragon had such great expectations of him. Or was it, the expectation the Black Dragon had for all otherworldly Travelers? After all, the Black Dragon addressed them as travelers from the otherworld. Luo Xi was somewhat puzzled. Beings like them, who had already reached the pinnacle of this world, could obliterate any number of players with just a sweep of their claws. If even they were unable to combat certain threats, how could players manage it? What then, was the significance of the arrival of otherworldly Travelers to this world? The beautiful woman transformed from the Black Dragon once again took her seat. She lightly stroked the black hair that laid upon her arms, and her pure golden eyes stared at Luo Xi, saying indifferently, "The second thing I want to know is, the one behind you, is she the will of your world?" Luo Xi shook his head, "I am not sure. She doesnt tell me. I can only say its possible." After all, "Damn Text" had the rights to update "Dawn". The previous event with the The Dark Void Tree DLC also showed to some extent her control over the real world. [Note: I really am not though! I am quite free!~] The Black Dragon nodded, "My questions are over. You may ask me anything, but you can only ask two questions. I dont have much time left." After some thought, Luo Xi asked, "May I know what the threat facing this world is truly...?" "It, is a foreign deity." The Black Dragon slowly shook her head, "One must not discuss its form, recount its deeds, or utter its name, otherwise there is the risk of being noticed by It." "Hmm... I understand," Luo Xi nodded, having anticipated this answer. [Note: Whats there to ask? If I could tell, I wouldve told you, worthless Traveler, long ago. When it comes to matters of outer gods, no amount of caution is too much. Wouldnt it be better to ask if Big Sister Black Dragon could change her form into a cute Lolita?~] What terrible advice! I dont want to die! Eek! Weier listened with a blank face, not understanding what they were talking about. She got the feeling that it was something very advanced. Florecia appeared pensive. The destruction of the three Eternal World Trees[Void] [Tide] [Young Water]that once ruled the oceans seemed to have happened shortly after her transformation from human to dragon kind. After spending thousands of years climbing up, evolving from a small dragon to a monarch and earning the title of Abyss Flame Dragon, she had watched over the southern coast of the Emerald Forest at the behest of the Lord for about five thousand years by now. During those five thousand years, she witnessed the evolution of the ocean into something stranger and stranger. Moreover, she was utterly disgusted by those ghostly things in the sea which could never be completely burned away, no matter what; they could only be continuously repelled back. Could those ghostly entities also be related to the foreign god the Lord just mentioned? And what about those strange Fallen Divine Trees that appeared a few days ago, with that identical presence... Concern suddenly tightened Florecias heart. Previously, she felt confident in her strength. No matter what, it didnt seem like a problem to protect her children. If worse came to worst, she would simply take them to her side for safekeeping. But if that so-called foreign god were really to descend onto this world, what could she do against something that even Bahamut and Lord Alexilita could not resolve? The Black Dragon reassured, "You dont need to be too alarmed. Its true body cannot arrive here just yet; otherwise, it wouldnt need to have plotted for so many years. Also, I should tell you something that should be safe to share: the term truth is its designation in this world, a tool it uses to beguile humans, elves, and others, making them willingly become its minions." "The Church of Truth?!" "The Church of Truth?" Luo Xi and Weier exclaimed simultaneously. They were both very sensitive to the Church of Truth. Winter City was nearly turned into a stronghold for the Church of Truth, and if not for the Disaster Churchs Hiss being even more cunning, the Church of Truth would have been the organization causing Luo Xi the most trouble. Rat King Nos seemed to also be with the Church of Truth, though it looked like his relationship with his foster father Hill wasnt that good. "The Church of Truth is related to a foreign god?" Upon hearing something crucial, Weier became agitated. She tried to get off Luo Xis leg, her center of gravity shifted, and she nearly fell. She was overwhelmed with exhaustion already. Though the rights of the Belgri Divine Tree could be transferred to others, she wasnt the true Lord, and thus it was inconvenient to use. That she hadnt collapsed into sleep already was due only to her willpower. Sarch* The novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Seeing Weier about to fall, Luo Xi quickly caught and held her, placing her back in his arms. "Meow!" Weier let out a shy cry of distress. Luo Xis body was incredibly hot, and sitting on his thighs felt like sitting on a recently warmed stone. Within minutes, she could feel her own body heat rolling off her. Chapter 446 - 294: Dragon Mama’s Love and Tears, Cradle Upgrade, Traveler’s Rage (6k)_2 Chapter 446: Chapter 294: Dragon Mamas Love and Tears, Cradle Upgrade, Travelers Rage (6k)_2And with that move, the girls small buttocks came even closer, almost touching the young mans thighs. The strange sensation clouded the mind of the innocent and proud cat-eared girl in an instant. "Who am I, meow?" "Where am I, meow?" "What am I doing, meow?" [Ding! Weiers Shyness Value +55] Then, Weier felt her tail being grasped by a broad palm. She really wanted to pull it back immediately, but Luo Xis gentle voice slowly rose. "Tired? How about I take you back to sleep first?" "Im not tired, let me down..." Weier wanted Luo Xi to put her aside and that was it, but upon seeing the protectively looming Dragon Mama, Cat Cat realized that if she moved away from this spot, Luo Xi might get pressed into her unreasonably augmented bosom the next second. Then she would have to stand by idly, watching everything unfold. The girl bit her lip, her rosy complexion spreading to the tips of her ears as she whispered in a delicate voice, "Its okay, Im not tired, continue talking." "Hmm." Luo Xi picked up Weiers tail from behind, rubbing the tip of it against his face. The soft and fluffy fur was as comfortable as the feathers on a down jackets hood. [Ding! Your Happiness Level +66] Indeed, beast-eared girls are a source of happiness! Florecia glanced over and felt a bit annoyed inside. She had long known that both sisters were interested in her child. As a mother, she shouldnt get emotional over this; these were important memories for Luo Xis future, but it just irked her. But was this the kind of thinking a "normal" mother should have? Hmph, she was just being a mother, looking out for her child, wasnt she? Isnt that how humans have always done it? Florecia quickly convinced herself. Yet her gaze towards Cat Cat remained icy. Weier shivered slightly. Strange, with Luo Xis body so warm, how could she feel cold? As for Luo Xi, he held the tail up in front of him, and through Weiers snow-white, translucent fur, he looked towards Big Sister Black Dragon and asked his second question. "For us Mutant Patients, is there a possibility of taking the path towards Sublimation?" Luo Xi had long been searching for an answer to this question. He had even asked Damn Text, but Damn Text wouldnt tell him, saying that it didnt matter what he turned into. Dare to defy Dao? After Luo Xis question, the bodies of Dragon Mama and Cat Cat both trembled. Weier was somewhat moved. She knew that Luo Xi was not just asking for himself. But also for her... and Aina. Florecias vertical golden pupils widened. After a moment, Dragon Mama pounced forward, hugging Luo Xis waist without concealing her emotions, crying like a maiden in the bloom of youth: "Little Luo Xi, are you going to abandon Mama? Did Mama do something wrong? Mama cant live without you!" Luo Xi: "..." If he just replaced the word "Mama," he would become a scumbag who had irresponsibly abandoned someone. Once again, he recognized how much Florecia valued having a descendant with her own bloodline. Big Sister Black Dragon frowned unhappily. She snorted coldly. "Hmph, what a sight, get up!" In an instant, Florecia shuddered, then sat up steadily, with tear streaks still at the corners of her eyes. Luo Xi looked bewildered at his shirt, now damp with Dragon Mamas tears. [Shirt moistened by the tears of a Black Abyss Flame Dragon (extractable)] [Quality: Purple Color (Epic-)] [Category: Special Material] [Attributes: Consuming a certain amount will temporarily increase Strength by 10% and recovery ability, can heal injuries, but usage on normal humans could turn them to Mutant Patients] [Description: Dragon Mamas body is a treasure, her blood, saliva, tears, and even... hey Traveler, are you sure you dont want to collect more?] Thats enough! Even though Florecia really did treat him well, Luo Xi did not want to exploit her kindness and turn her into a tool-dragon. What difference would that make from being a scumbag? "Lord Bahamut..." The dragon-horned girl looked at the Black Dragon Big Sister ahead with pleading eyes, pitifully stricken. The Black Dragon seemed helpless as she responded, "People have their own aspirations; you cant expect him to only follow the path you desire. You should be clear that Luo Xi isnt from our world. His future will not end with your bloodline factor; he is bound to go further. By that time, the parts of your bloodline within him will weaken continuously." "Little Fu, your understanding of offspring is too narrow. Think about it again, why do you think you found him in the first place?" "Oh..." Florecia didnt quite catch the Black Dragons latter words and still replied very aggrieved. She just wanted a beautiful and interesting world for herself and Little Luo Xi. What was wrong with that? Guarding the ocean alone was so boring. Whether it was for ten years, a hundred years... she didnt care. After all, she had lived for eight thousand years, lacking no time. But if Luoxi chose the path of Sublimation, unable to complete the transformation into a dragon species, and even going so far as to purge her bloodline factor from his body, would he still be her child? Florecia placed her feet on the sofa, her bare calves and soft feet resting on the edge. She hugged her knees, staying silent, lost in thought.

Chapter 447 - 294: Dragon Mama’s Love and Tears, Cradle Upgrade, Traveler’s Rage (6k)_3 Chapter 447: Chapter 294: Dragon Mamas Love and Tears, Cradle Upgrade, Travelers Rage (6k)_3Dragon Mama went offline to sulk (jpg). The Black Dragon couldnt be bothered to counsel her own foolish subordinate. After all, she would come to her senses sooner or later. Luo Xi thought for a moment, reached out, and placed his hand on Dragon Ladys head, gently petting her a few times. In the past, it was always him being petted by Dragon Mama; this time, he finally got to reciprocate. "I wont abandon you, Ressia Mama," he whispered softly. After all, she had helped him so many times already. Florecia lifted her head, wiped her tear-streaked face, and said, "Mama believes in you!" "Alright, listen up now, I dont have much time." Sarch* The N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The Black Dragon looked at Luo Xi with some emotion and said, "Whats dubbed Mutation Syndrome today was known in ancient times as Those Given the Blood. Back then, many actively sought the powerful Origin Beasts to infect them with bloodline factors, considering Sublimation, while stable, requires too many materials and is restricted by the Source World Tree. Those Given the Blood, however, were different, as the only test was the compatibility with the bloodline factors." "Who could have thought that time would turn Those Given the Blooda group once admiredinto Mutant Patients, scorned by their own kind." "People back then truly had indomitable wills; even if the compatibility and adaptability werent high, they could still master the power of the bloodline factors to a great extent while retaining their humanity after transformation, which is vastly different from now where most people infected by bloodline factors end up losing their self-will in the later stages." "You wish to pursue the path of Sublimation which, theoretically, is impossible since Sublimation derives from the Eternal World Tree and conflicts with the bloodline factors of beings like us, Origin Beasts. However, there always exist individuals with exceptional talent. Ive seen a Variant of the Bird Clan who mastered both the bloodline strength of the Azure Sky Blue Bird and the Sublimation path of the Azure World Tree. When the properties of Sublimation and Mutation are highly similar, it might be possible to master both and switch between them." Luo Xi listened carefully and digested what the Black Dragon had said. That means, if I want to pursue the path of Sublimation, I must find a path mixed with both the Fire Flame and Dark Categories? And Cat Cat needs to find a Sublimation path similar to that of the Ghost Night Shadow Cat? How difficult... Having a target makes it easier to search, but without one, its like searching blind in the vast Dream Worldwho can find it? "If you truly wish to pursue the path of Sublimation," The Black Dragon hesitated before saying, "I can help by summoning a sloth to bless you. Her powers might be able to guide you in finding what you need." Luo Xi: "!" He nodded immediately and said, "Thank you very much." As expected of the Black Dragon Lord, who contends with the Eternal World Tree. What I couldnt figure out even after asking the Damn Text for so long, Big Sister Black Dragon solved in an instant. [Note: I gave you such great gifts as a trash Traveler, and you just ignore them? Im getting angry! ()!] In a space filled with starlight, akin to the Universe, a petite figure enveloped in pure white light angrily kicked at the phantom image in front of her eyes. This phantom was none other than Luo Xi. "I gave you two Origin texts, you heartless Trash Fish Traveler, hmph!" "If I didnt lack understanding of the Dream World, I wouldnt be so passive!" "Ice cream, you really want to eat ice cream that much? Next time Ill just solidify it and stuff it into your mouth!" After speaking, the Black Dragon closed her eyes. While she did so, Luo Xi took the opportunity to observe the stunning Black Dragon Lady once again. [Ding! Your Lust Value -10] [Ding! Your Lust Value -5] Even though the snow-white semi-transparent chiffon looked enticing, Luo Xi was like in sage modethe more he looked, the more serene his mindset became. Suddenly, a pitch-black fissure appeared in the womans hand, shattering the wine bottle she was holding. The fissure spread instantly, shaving off a lock of Luo Xis hair. [Ding! Your Fear Value +15] Before Luo Xi could apologize, the Black Dragon abruptly opened her eyes, looking somewhat helpless as she tossed the broken wine bottle to the ground. "So eager to see me leave?" Although she assumed human form, her strength inevitably exceeded this continents carrying capacity, especially her powers of destruction and absorption. Any slight overflow could inflict irreparable damage to the region. The power of hers that had previously resided in Luo Xi was only a minuscule fraction, the merest drop in the ocean; otherwise, the ensuing explosion likely would have obliterated this town. Fortunately, she had made contact with that guy. The lazy dog was unlikely to come in person, but it was still feasible for him to send the items directly. A huge green ring appeared at the center of the tea room. Luo Xi saw a forest brimming with boundless greenery within the ring, and in the distant land, a massive green giant dragon lay peacefully asleep. Florecia raised her head, her amber vertical pupils showing a trace of shock. Apart from Lord Bahamut, she seldom saw other Dragon Emperors. Yet, in a few days, she had encountered three legendary Lords. The Black Dragon looked indifferently into the ring before saying, "Isla, wake up. Youve been asleep for thousands of years, havent you? Both White and Red are starting to resent you." "Bahamut, youre so annoying. Why bother me when Im just trying to sleep? Plus, its not like Im sleeping for no reason; without me, Grey Dream would have been long gone." Chapter 448 - 294: Dragon Mama’s Love and Tears, Cradle Upgrade, Traveler’s Rage (6k)_4 Chapter 448: Chapter 294: Dragon Mamas Love and Tears, Cradle Upgrade, Travelers Rage (6k)_4A somewhat soft and adorable voice sounded within the tea room. Luo Xis expression immediately turned bizarre. Hearing this somewhat cute voice, wouldnt this transformed human form of the Green Dragon actually be a Lolita? [Note: Hehe~ Lolita Dragon] Black Dragon said, "Isla, bestow your blessing upon them." "My blessing? For them? Whats this? Wait, why are there humans with you?" The colossal Green Dragon immediately opened its dragon eyes and shifted its gaze toward Luo Xi and the others, the golden vertical pupils with a hint of greenery exuding majesty. "Humans, what is your purpose in seeking me?" This time, the voice of the Green Dragon sounded heavy and dull, like a middle-aged person in their forties or fifties. Luo Xi: "..." Come on, big shot, you already gave yourself away! The Black Dragon frowned and said, "I dont have much time left, hurry up. A few blessings are nothing significant for you." The soft and cute voice spoke up again, "Thats not the point, Black. Can you at least give me some face?" "Do you even have such a thing? According to our legends, youre the least serious among us, getting caught by humans while thieving..." "Stop, stop, stop! Who are they to you that you would personally come to me for their blessing?" "Perhaps... the Solvers." "No wonder, okay, is it just the few of you? Im about to release the blessing." "Please wait a moment." Luo Xi snapped his fingers lightly and pulled Aina, who was sleeping in the bedroom, over. One could not favor one over another; he didnt want Aina to become Yandere the moment she saw Weier had something that she didnt. "Alright." A green light suddenly shot out from within the circle, enveloping the heads of everyone in the tea room. [Ding! You have received the blessing of the Green DragonIsla (Legend)] [Friendly Reminder: Unless the blessing giver recovers the blessing, it shall remain effective forever] [Islas Blessing (Legend)] [Effect: When you have something you wish to do, think by day, dream by night, and you have a certain chance of finding the direction you should head in within your dreams] Luo Xi rubbed his temples. Sear?h the N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. It seems there isnt much difference? "Done! By the way, Black, why are you down there? Are you slacking off? Believe it or not, Ill report..." The Black Dragon directly turned off the green circle within the tea room. Her gaze passed over Luo Xi and Florecias faces, speaking indifferently, "I must leave now too. This time, when I leave, if you want to summon me again, I will be powerless, so take care of yourselves." "And Little Fu, dont forget to go back after tomorrow. The aura left by Alexilita will be exhausted in three days, and afterwards, you will still need to guard there." "Mm..." Florecia nodded silently. She was aware of her mission. Although she really didnt want to leave the vacation of these past few days, and Luo Xi, she had to return in the end. She just hoped that Little Luoxi would come to visit her more often in the future. Wait a minute, could Luo Xis Hollow Flower be planted over to her side? The Black Dragon slowly walked towards the window. Suddenly, Luo Xi realized he had forgotten to ask her for a new scale. But he had already gained a lot this time. Leaves and branches from the Eternal World Tree Noah, and Islas blessing... If he asked the Black Dragon for scales now, would he appear too greedy? Bahamuts figure transformed into countless black particles flowing toward the window. Luo Xi handed Aina to Weier and ran towards the window, then saw a black giant dragon shooting straight into the sky. And then, something lightly floated down; Luo Xi reached out his hand, carefully caught it, and brought it inside.

The sleazy man was taken aback. What does this term mean in the language of the Xia country? The sleazy man didnt think too much and continued sternly, "Answer quickly! Do you know that Luo Xi, the person you work with?" "Of course we know him, hes our roommate." Wang Yuanjie asked somewhat guardedly, "Its not that Little mule is partnering with you to trick the two of us, right? That would be really shady." The sleazy man glanced at the burly man behind him and started chattering in Ri Islands language. Seeing this, Wang Yuanjie felt slightly more assured. He shouted angrily, "Stop acting already, let us go! Otherwise, Ill accuse you of violating citizens rights to personal freedom, and you, the colonel from Island Country, are really good at acting. I demand a thorough investigation into your ancestors for three generations!" The sleazy man stopped talking to the burly man and turned his head, glaring at Wang Yuanjie in a fury. Why are you shouting so loudly? And you dare talk to me like this? Are you looking to die? Do these two not realize the predicament theyre in? In the mans eyes, whether these two Xia Country university students knew the Black Death God Luo Xi or not, they were very likely to die after this incident. They probably didnt even know why they would die. Its really pitiful for those who havent come into contact with the real side of the world. Wang Yuanjie wanted to keep berating this Island Country guy, but then Slap! A crisp slap rang out. The sleazy man slapped Wang Yuanjie hard across the face, stupefying the young man who had never experienced society before. The violent slap caused a buzzing in his ears like a swarm of bees. Isnt this a reality show? There should be cameras around, right? How can he dare to hit me so hard, not fearing the consequences after the fact? Then, an icy, stabbing pain emanated from his throat. Wang Yuanjie stared blankly at the sharp knife pressed against his skin, its chilling gleam unmistakably real. Death, I could die. These people are serious. They arent any reality show actors; theyre truly vicious and evil! "What do you want?" Chen Yao also put away his na?ve thoughts and asked somberly, "If its just money you want, give us a phone, we can contact our families for a ransom, please dont hurt us." The sleazy man turned back to the masked burly man and respectfully said, "Colonel Miyahara, they seem to think were kidnappers. But the hunters didnt catch the wrong people; these two really are friends of the Black Death God." The burly man nodded, stood up, and said, "Confirmation is good enough, Hirano, dont scare them anymore. Lets leave them be for now. We used several high-level teleportation scrolls to bring them here; it would be a joke if they died from fright." Hirano asked, "What about the two women next door? I heard one of them is the mother of the Black Death God." Sar?h the ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "That one, according to the information, might not be as useful as these two. The Black Death Gods relationship with his parents isnt that good." The burly man said with regret, "Its a pity we didnt catch the grandmother of the Black Death God. Our mission wouldve been almost guaranteed." The hunters who carried out the abductions within Xia countrys borders were the first line of action in this operation. Those from Ri Island were the second line, responsible for receiving the hostages and arranging their transfer to this remote island, waiting for the Black Death God to arrive as scheduled in the afternoon. If he comes over, a third line of action would be initiated. If he doesnt, then according to their orders, they would not kill these people outright. After all, a Transcendent who dares to hold back, currently ranking number one in the world, might have unforeseeable consequences if his bottom line is truly crossed and he is fully enraged. "Who exactly are you?" Chen Yao, seeing the two converse fluently in Ri Islands language, felt increasingly anxious and asked in a low voice, "Five million, is that enough? If it is, I can ask my dad to wire the money to you today. The price can be negotiated, and also One-Eyed Brother..." "How do you dare speak to the Colonel like that? Bustard!" The Island Country guy went up and kicked Chen Yao hard, knocking him to the ground. Chen Yao suddenly felt so much pain that he couldnt catch his breath, sensing that several of his ribs might have been broken. Amid the pain spreading throughout his body, he heard the door being opened and then closed again. Did they leave? Why would these criminals kidnap them? And how did they manage to take the two of them out of school and bring them to an island so far from the city? In a country as strictly managed as Xia country, can they really carry out such an act? And... Luo Xi, why did they ask about his and Wang Yuanjies relationship with Luo Xi? "Chen Yao, are you okay? Those guys hit so hard, they all deserve to be executed..." Seeing that the two had left, Wang Yuanjie immediately moved his body to check on Chen Yaos injuries. "Im fine." Chen Yao, enduring the pain, slowly sat up against the wooden wall. "Probably broke a few ribs." "Thats harsh." Wang Yuanjie said, still shaken, "If I had said one more word just now, that knife might have pierced my throat. They really would dare to do that." Chen Yao sighed, "We need to be careful with what we say from now on, and we can only wait for rescue." "Yeah... Do you think Luo Xi, is he involved with these people?" Wang Yuanjie whispered. Chapter 460 - 297 Dragon Mama’s Dragonization in Reality, All the Radishes Compete for Favor (6k)_2 Chapter 460: Chapter 297 Dragon Mamas Dragonization in Reality, All the Radishes Compete for Favor (6k)_2During this time, they hadnt seen Luo Xi. Luo Xi had only returned to school for a couple of days before moving out again, and it was rumored that he had gone to his junior Ai Xues cat caf, where many photos of him with customers had been circulated. The two had thought Luo Xi had finally come to his senses. They had also visited the cat caf, but they didnt see Luo Xi. It was quite funny, actually. The owner of the cat caf, upon hearing that the two were looking for Luo Xi, was so angry that he was gnashing his teeth, like a sad uncle who had his Lolita stolen from him. Chen Yao remained silent. The two people just now seemed to only want to confirm the answer to they were friends with Luo Xi. Why? All kinds of unanswered doubts surfaced in Chen Yaos mind, leading to the startling conclusion that their classmate, Luo Xi, might actually be some incredibly powerful big shot. He and Wang Yuanjie were just collateral damage. Such an absurd possibility couldnt be true, could it? Seeing that Chen Yao was silent, Wang Yuanjie answered his own question with concern, "Did Little Mule offend some evil forces?" "Im not sure. Just know that the two of us are probably screwed," Chen Yao said helplessly. Wang Yuanjie: "..." The two fell silent. Fear and unease grew rapidly in such circumstances. They preferred that the bandits come and negotiate with them, rather than be thrown here so casually. In another wooden cabin ten meters away from theirs. Two women were tied up, thrown on the ground with their mouth gagged with white cloth. One of the women appeared to be in her forties, well-preserved, giving an impression of someone in her thirties, but one could still see many crows feet on her forehead. The other was Ai Xin Yue, who looked at the two men entering with a face full of fear. Hirano said cheerfully, "Two beauties, Colonel Miyahara, would you like to have some fun first?" "Shut up, they are important hostages. If something goes wrong, Ill kill you first!" "Yes, sir." Hirano sulkily lowered his head. The burly man removed the patch from his left eye. Unexpectedly, he was not missing an eye. Beneath the patch was a golden-brown iris. He swept this eye over the two women, especially Ai Xin Yue. Having heard that Ai Xin Yue had just met with Black Death God yesterday, he couldnt help but be on his guard. Soon, Miyahara Reizo confirmed that there was nothing hidden on Ai Xin Yue. He glanced at Hirano and said: "You ask them about their identities." "Yes." Hirano perked up again. He yanked off the white cloth from the womens mouths, and with a sleazy smile said, "You two, who is Luo Xis mother, and who is the sister of Luo Xis girlfriend? Answer correctly, and the colonel has a reward for you." "Help!" The woman next to Ai Xin Yue started screaming at the top of her lungs. Bang! Hirano still kicked the woman to the ground, saying coldly, "Who is Luo Xis mother? Who is his girlfriends sister? Speak! Keep screaming, and although I cant kill you, I dont mind crushing one or two of your fingers." Frightened, Ai Xin Yue said, "I am Luo Xis girlfriends cousin. May I ask what you need from me?" "Ah? Since youre the cousin, then this is Black Death Gods mother, right?" Hirano released his foot, looking at the woman underfoot with a mocking smile, "She looks pretty young. If it werent for the colonels orders, Id really like to have a taste." "Enough, you can unleash your disgusting desires after the operation is over," Miyahara Reizo said impatiently. "Three hours left until the deadline. In two hours, we need to transfer these two to the target location. Get ready now." "Yes, sir!" After Hirano left, Miyahara Reizo took out a communicator and sent an operation command. [Hostages captured, request for task handover] After the two men left, in the cabin, the woman who had been kicked didnt dare to scream nonsense anymore. She turned to Ai Xin Yue and asked: "The Luo Xi they are talking about, is he my son?" Ai Xin Yue shook her head blankly. How would she know? Wait, this person is Luo Xis mother? Ai Xin Yue whispered, "Auntie, are you Luo Xis mother? May I ask your name?" "Yes, I am Luo Xis mother, Wang Xiao. Are these people here for Luo Xi? Is that why they captured us?" Wang Xiao said indignantly, "I knew that deadbeats son was no good. I was blind to marry him. Had I realized it sooner, I wouldnt have suffered all these years." Ai Xin Yue frowned and said, "Your son is actually very accomplished. They captured us, probably because..." S~ea??h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Did these people have some designs on Luo Xi? Is that why they captured them? Though she had only learned some information related to "Dawn" last night, Ai Xin Yue was quick-witted. She immediately thought that Black Death God Luo Xi, the worlds number one Dreamland Traveler, had attracted the attention of countless people. She and this auntie were probably just bait to lure Luo Xi. "Accomplished? Ha, if that deadbeats son is accomplished, then Ill smash my head on the ground right here," Wang Xiao said openly, venting her resentment. "If it wasnt for him, I could have divorced sooner. I shouldnt have given birth to him in the first place." Chapter 461 - 297 Dragon Mama’s Real Dragonization, Every Luo Competes for Favor (6k)_3 Chapter 461: Chapter 297 Dragon Mamas Real Dragonization, Every Luo Competes for Favor (6k)_3Ai Xin Yue fell silent for a moment, then said, "But youre his mother, you shouldnt give up on him." "Yes, thats why I raised him until he was ten. Thats enough. Why should I be the one to raise him? Why can that deadbeat dad of his have a good time outside?" The womans eyes reddened as she said, "It turns out I didnt do anything wrong. Now I also have my own family, and I didnt expect to still be involved by that dead mans son!" Ai Xin Yue did not continue to respond to the womans words. She knew that nothing she said would change this womans mind. "Luo Xi, Xiao Xue... will you come to rescue me?" ... /// There was about two hours left before departure. Traveler was busy collecting Essence Crystals, so Luo Xi could only wait. He looked somewhat troubled at the four girls surrounding him. This atmosphere felt really off. Dragon Mama was lying on the sofa behind him, and whether intentionally or unintentionally, she rested her delicate softness on top of his head, distracting Luo Xi with that bouncy roundness while he petted the Little Wolf Girl in his arms. [Ding! Ainas Anger Value +22] [Ding! Ainas Yandere Value +3] [Ding! Weiers Anger Value +44] [Ding! Ai Xues Resentment Value +33] A string of notifications appeared in the text all telling Luo Xi that his current situation was similar to the Xiu Luo Field often seen in anime. Weier, fuming, sat down next to Luo Xis left hand, and forcefully turned his head to look at her, saying, "Pervert, how do I look in this outfit?" "Ah... very pretty!" Luo Xi was not just flattering her; when he saw what Weier was wearing this time, his eyes were instantly dazzled. It was different from what Cat Cat usually wore, a casual shirt and short skirt paired with two flesh-colored semi-transparent stockings. Weier now had the lively, youthful vibe of an energetic young girl. Of course, with those cat ears and the tail behind her, the cat lady girl vibe was even stronger, like a CG character that stepped right out of a game. Of course, in this living room, each of the girls possessed an illustrated-like beauty. "Hmph, of course." A tempting blush appeared momentarily on Cat Cats delicate and lovely little face. The Wolf Eared Lolita in his arms, not to be outdone, asked, "What about Aina? How is Aina? Is Aina pretty or is big sister prettier?" Weiers cat ears immediately stood up. Luo Xi: "!" The softness that was resting on his head suddenly loosened, and a gust of wind blew by as Florecia walked to the front, twirled her white skirt, lifted the white over-the-knee socks on her legs, and with her tea-golden eyes, smiled gently, "Little Luoxi, compared to them, how is mommy dressed?" Luo Xi: "!!" Ai Xue, who had been feeling somewhat moody, couldnt help but want to laugh out loud. So you like to be a playboy, Luo Xi? Well, now youve got it. After thinking a bit, Ai Xue also came over and hugged Luo Xis right arm, whispering, "Brother, what about me?" "..." The scent of warm bodies pressing close, sweet floral fragrance, milky rich aroma, and a faint lingering fragrance, kept flooding into Luo Xis nose, stupefying him as his mind went blank. The main issue was the question they asked. How the heck was he supposed to choose! [Note: Garbage Traveler, we think you cant handle such a heavy topic, shall we take over?] Crawl away! Luo Xi breathed slowly, pondering as he said, "I think you are all" Aina raised her little hand and put it on Luo Xis lips. The Little Wolf Girl said with wide, round eyes, "Brother Luo Xi, youre not allowed to say everyone is pretty." Luo Xi: "..." Sar?h the novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Ai Xue smiled slightly and said, "Yes, brother, you cant say everyone, so give an answer quickly." The girl also stuffed Luo Xis arm towards her softness, purposely brushing against his hand with her firm fullness. Ai Xue had been a bit worried that she wouldnt have much competitive power among the three Lolitas during the day, but she suddenly discovered that her current state could harmonize things well. If she were also a nighttime Lolita, that would have been too monotonous. Weier also followed up immediately, saying, "Pervert, hurry up and answer." She wanted to imitate Ai Xue, but Cat Cat was unable to act due to the embarrassment inside her, and she thought that even if she did so, it would only be humiliating for herself. Without enough presence, it would only let Luo Xi secretly gloat while noticing her inadequacy. Perhaps this playboy would even make a comparison. Florecia smiled sweetly, "Little Luoxi, mommy loves you the most." She actually didnt mind much. Of course, since it was about the childs opinion of the mother, if she could get the best rating, she would be very happy indeed. Luo Xis mouth twitched slightly, and he nodded somewhat helplessly. Aina released the hand covering Luo Xis lips, her moist tea-golden eyes looking expectantly at Luo Xi. Luo Xi took a deep breath. He lowered his head and placed his chin on top of the Little Wolf Girls head, smelling the girls scent that was even richer than Cat Cats, and laughed lightly, "Of course my Aina is the cutest." Immediately, Weier turned her head away discontentedly and said, "As expected of a major pervert." Chapter 462 - 297 Dragon Mama’s Dragonization in reality, many Luo fighting for favor (6k)_4 Chapter 462: Chapter 297 Dragon Mamas Dragonization in reality, many Luo fighting for favor (6k)_4"It seems like it was the same answer last time." "This guys affection for Aina isnt hidden at all." "Im the older sister after all, so how could I be any less than Aina?" Ai Xue had already anticipated this reaction, so she let go of Luo Xis arm she was holding and straightened her clothes that had gotten disheveled during their contact. Had it been two months earlier, just based on what senior said, Ai Xue would probably have held back her grief and sent senior into the orange. Florecia slightly pursed her lips and then moved back behind Luo Xi, her vertical pupils of gold staring at Aina, who was held in Luo Xis arms. As a qualified mother, she would not get jealous over something like her child liking someone else. Indeed, she wouldnt! The dragon horn girl repeated this to herself several times in her heart. After all, little Luo Xi would naturally understand in time that Mama was the best! "Hehe~ Aina knew Brother would like Aina the most." Aina rubbed her face against Luo Xis chest, smiling very happily. Brothers words are true, after all~ Sarch* The N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. No matter what other women think, even if its Ai Xue, who would eat Brother up, Brother Luo Xi still thinks Aina is more... cute? Hmm? Luo Xi took a breath of relief. Finally, he passed this hurdle. Things like the Xiu Luo Field really are too terrifying. Plus, its about time to start preparing stuff. Now isnt the time to continue wallowing in this tender land of affection. Although Luo Xi somewhat wanted to take them back to the big bed in the bedroom for a nap. (Stricken) "Ressia, can you transform back into your dragon form now?" Luo Xi asked. Her heavy and soft pair of horns on her head gave a shake. "Not sure, Mama will give it a try." "No hurry, lets go to the rooftop terrace of the hotel. The space is too small here." Luo Xi placed Aina, who was in his arms, down on the ground, and then went back to the bedroom to gather the items he needed. The rooftop garden of the hotel. The dragon horn girl, about one and a half meters tall, stood by the railing facing the wind. At over forty meters above ground level, the wind blowing through the place fluttered everyones clothes. Except for Weier and Ai Xue, who were unaffected in their casual attire, Florecia and Ainas skirts were blown high up by the gusts. Luo Xi merely glanced casually. This kind of low-level blessing isnt much to look at. [Note: Have seen too much of bare Lolita, huh! Punishment!] Damn Text, dont talk. Didnt you see Dragon Mama is about to transform? He held his phone, with the camera mode on, ready to record this moment. But there shouldnt be any watchers here, right? Dragon Mama was Luo Xis real trump card, and he wasnt planning to reveal her too soon to give those people a heads up. After hearing Luo Xis concerns, Florecia smiled and said, "Its fine. Although my strength has diminished quite a lot, my perception is still there. Besides those from the Travel Agency that little Luo Xi mentioned, theres no one else with Yuan Su within them nearby. Plus, Mama can add a cognitive blocking ability, and right now, its just a simple trial." "Mama is going to start transforming now!" With a surge of heat, all the plants and shrubs in the rooftop garden quickly withered, and Luo Xi saw the petite dragon horn girls form slowly dissipate into light points, followed by a Red Dragon, a dozen meters in length, appearing in the rooftop garden with a gentle flap of her wings. A green barrier that only Luo Xi and the others could see floated around Florecia. This was the so-called cognitive barrier. Luo Xi looked at his phone. Good grief, it actually didnt capture the image; the screen on the phone went right through Florecias dragon body and showed the building on the other side. With that being the case, theres no need to worry about being detected by satellites or anything. "Mama feels quite good." Florecias voice echoed in Luo Xis ear, "Although Yuan Su is not plentiful, this body is exactly the same as in my original world, theres no feeling of clumsiness; just that theres not enough Yuan Su to maximize, at most my body can only grow to about fifty meters or so." "Thats... so cool." Ai Xue approached the side of the Red Dragon, reaching out to touch her body, but was burned by the hot temperatures of the scales. "Hot!" ---- ---- Thats 6k for today.

(8.4k)_1 Chapter 469: Chapter 299: Florecias debut, Sparks Frost Flame mode, Unrivaled in the world! (8.4k)_1Upon witnessing Luo Xis ghostly "movements," everyones heart clenched with tension. How could the hostage be back in the hands of the Black Death God in the blink of an eye? Elster shouted gravely, "Everyone, dont panic. Our strength isnt suppressed by the Sacred Boundary of Tila, but the Black Death God is in a suppressed state, having his strength reduced by at least one tier. Although his abilities are bizarre, this kind of exceptional skill definitely cant be used continuously!" An elderly man known as Flame Demon nodded, "Exactly, such an ability must have a very long cooldown. Theres no need for panic." Next to him, the Frost Shaman with the strange staff glanced at the several ships in the distance and rasped, "They are watching us. If we cant take down the Black Death God, they will probably resort to the last resort, and none of us want to die, right?" Hearing the words of the Frost Shaman, Elster, Miyahara Reizo, and the other Transcendents all fell silent. They had no retreat left. If they won, they would all rejoice and go home with a heaping reward. If they lost, they would be the discarded pawns, and the others would use the final measure to send both these low-ranking players with insufficient potential and the limitless Black Death God to their deaths. Mei Country, Dreamland Federation Bureau. As the main agency in Mei Country dealing with matters related to "Dawn," this department undertook the hunting task, but they did not appear in the foreground and had always arranged for others to handle it through commissions. Dozens of information analysts watched the live feed being transmitted in real time. "The Black Death God has taken the hostage back into his possession!" "Whats going on? Wasnt all spatial-type abilities prohibited by the Sacred Boundary of Tila?" "Is it mere speed?" "Impossible, there has been no change in the wind speed at the scene. Are you telling me this is mere speed?" Tap tap tap tap A middle-aged man wearing a combat suit entered the information center, urgently saying, "Quickly analyze! What is Black Death Gods ability?" "General Carl, I believe this isnt pure speed. Due to the effect of the Sacred Boundary, it also cant be a spatial-type movement ability." The chief information analyst spoke with a dry throat, "I have an immature idea; I think its like... like time has been stopped, and the Black Death God is moving within the interval when time is stopped." "Nonsense!" Carl slammed his fist onto the table, glaring at the information officer wearing the chief badge. Stopping time? Such a heaven-defying and nonsensical power is only supposed to exist in novels and strange anime, right? How can it appear in reality! Even the existence of "Dawn" is hardly realistic. "Issue the command for them to attack together! I refuse to believe that over thirty Third-tier Transcendents cant beat one person suppressed by a whole tier. Also, prepare Elster to use the Book of Transference." "Right, and shut down the live broadcast!" While Carl was still confident inside, since they still had a trump card, he was now considering the possibility of flipping over. So, its better to shut down the live stream. After all, if they really flipped over, it would be a laughingstock. "Yes." Several analysts sprang into action immediately. However, half a minute later, they reported in alarm, "General Carl, although weve shut down our live broadcast signal, the live stream on the forum is still going, no, this isnt our broadcast. Someone else is streaming!" "What?" Carl pulled away an analyst to look at the computer screen. The screen displayed the International Hunters Forum. At the same time, a text notification popped up for all players. [World Announcement!

Those bastards have no honor in combat. If theyre so skilled, why not a fair duel? Last night, Luo Xi was threatened. His family and friends were kidnapped, and he was left a message to come alone to a meeting or theyd kill the hostages.

Can we pinpoint their location?"] [sensei: "Those are old warships, likely just shadowing. This is the open ocean; its hard to know where exactly."] [Hurricane: "Enough talk, it looks like theyre about to start fighting!"] "Luo Xi, are you really Luo Xi?" After releasing the scroll, Luo Xi had intended to back off and deal with those who were eyeing him, but upon hearing a familiar womans voice, he lowered his head to look at the woman kneeling on the ground. Wang Xiao, his true mother by blood, still retained her beauty between the brows and eyes, even though she was in her forties by now. Wang Xiao was once the school beauty, and somehow she ended up with his slovenly father, resulting in an unexpected pregnancy and his birth. Things werent great for the couple after the wedding. They divorced when Luo Xi was nine, and he had lived with his grandma ever since. He heard she had built a new family in Yunzhou, marrying a wealthy merchant twenty years her senior who had lost his wife and had two children with him, leading a happy and prosperous life. Sarch* The N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Truthfully, Luo Xi held no resentment towards her, as everyone has their choices to make, and he actually thought his dad was indeed a bastard who spent his days drinking and causing trouble. Maybe, his only gripe was that when she left, she didnt choose to take him with her. Had she not been so indifferent over the yearsonly transferring 1,000 yuan to his bank account each month for living expenses before he turned eighteen and never answering his callshe might not have considered her a negligent mother. "Mom," he called out softly. Wang Xiaos body tensed up, then her eyes reddened with anger as she scolded, "Have the decency to call me mom? What have you done to get on the bad side of such dangerous people? And whats with your attire?" People of her age tended to be quite stubborn in their ways, especially since Luo Xi was the son shed had with her ex-husband, whose impression on her was so poor that it reflected badly on Luo Xi as well. Luo Xi didnt bother addressing her questions. In his view, just saying that one word Mom was doing more than enough. Ai Xin Yue asked, "Luo Xi, can we...be saved?" "We can." Luo Xi nodded, his gaze sweeping past the dazed face of Ai Xin Yue and moved to his two roommates, smiling, "Stay here. See those scrolls on the ground? If you feel that the white light outside is about to give in, open a new one." Wang Yuanjie stared blankly at the scales covering Luo Xis body and the flames that kept rising, then asked hesitantly: "Little mule, are you a superhero?" Chen Yao followed up with his own question: "A mutant? Or a cultivator? What did you do to incur such wrath that so many people are after you? I even saw warships over by the sea." "Youve read too many novels; its not that complicated." Luo Xi gave a wry smile and said, "Sorry, this was all supposed to have nothing to do with you guys. Its my fault that you got dragged into this, but lets leave that aside for now, those people seem to be getting impatient." A moment later, a thunderous, explosive sound like cannon fire emanated from Luo Xis body, his right arm became embossed with even finer Dragon Scales, and black and red flames interlaced in his hand. Wang Yuanjies eyes were about to spark with excitement. So cool! My roommate, is actually a hidden university Lolita War God, Crooked-Mouth Dragon King kind of character! Luo Xi slowly turned around, his eyes igniting with a golden flame, and his vertical pupils coldly scanned the group of people around him. It was certain that on this island theyd been transported to, besides the ordinary soldiers, there were only these players. His external strength had indeed decreased by a whole Tier level. The text already hinted at this. [Ding! You are under the suppression of The Sacred Boundary of Tila, your Transcendence Tier level has dropped by one major tier, you are currently at the Mutation First-tier, and your all qualities are reduced by 50%.] Chapter 471 - 299: Florecia’s debut, Spark’s Frost Flame mode, Unrivaled in the world! (8.4k)_3 Chapter 471: Chapter 299: Florecias debut, Sparks Frost Flame mode, Unrivaled in the world! (8.4k)_3However, this suppression was not a big problem for him. Luo Xis overall strength had never been too related to tiers from beginning to end. He glanced at his current attribute values. [Luo Xi] [Race: Human Clan (Dragonization third-tier)] [Tier: First-tier (originally second-tier)] [Sublimation Path: Dragon Species Differentiation (Belongs to the Red DragonFlame (Belongs to the Black DragonDark Devouring))] [Factor Concentration: 60.00%] [Skill Resistance+200%] [Flame Power+200%] [Strength: 473 (189x5/2)] [Physique: 470 (188x5/2)] [Intelligence: 185 (74x5/2)] [Agility: 215 (86x5/2)] [Skills Owned: Critical Punch LV2, Rejuvenation LV1, Dragonization LV3, Dragon Breath LV3, Fiery Flicker LV2, Dragon Kings Fiery Flame, Extreme: Dragon Kings Sky Collapse, Riding Skill (Apprentice)] The 500% attribute boost given by Dragonization was comparable to Ai Xues talent effect at midnight. Even with all qualities halved, after the Dragonization LV3 bonus, his attribute values still far exceeded the average third-tier Transcendent, and not even mutated third-tier Transcendents spending fortunes on themselves could necessarily match Luo Xis attributes. This was the terrifying base attribute Luo Xi got under the premise of the golden Variant talent bonus and having eaten a bunch of good stuff given by Dragon Mama. Its just that every time he used this skill, the time until he turned into a dragon grew ever closer. Luo Xi narrowed his eyes. Those people seemed to be waiting together for him to make the first move and expose a flaw. Then he would not hold back! Snap! A crisp snapping of fingers, accompanied by a world dimming down. "Pause." A second passed. Luo Xi arrived in front of that Elster. What are these people lining up here for? Luo Xi recalled the feeling from last time he saw Dragon Mama use the Sky Collapse skill. A black fire intertwined with a bright red flame above his fist, symbolizing the combined power of the Red Dragon and Black Dragon, forming some kind of destructive force. The air, stirred by his motion, seemed to sense the terror of this force and began to tremble violently. "Extreme: Dragon Kings Sky Collapse." When Luo Xis charge ended and his fist landed on Elster. Three seconds passed. The world regained its color. The scorching black and red heat flow and the surging punch wind began to flow in front of Luo Xi, dispersing and sending all the people in front flying with a single punch! Of the more than thirty people, more than twenty in the front were blasted against the golden barrier like they were nothing. The bodies of about ten people on the sides and the back were barely held in place by a layer of golden light. "Oh?" Luo Xi suppressed the pain coming from overexertion in his arm and frowned. He thought that punch could have blown all these people away. Was it because of The Sacred Boundary of Tila? Indeed, an epic artifact, not only capable of suppression but also providing protection to allies within it, was equivalent to a portable Divine Tree. Bang! Elster slid down from the barrier; as the one who took Luo Xis frontal Sky Collapse punch, even though the barrier protected him, negating about ninety percent of the damage, the remaining ten percent still caused him severe injuries, leaving him almost unable to stand. This commanders eyes looked at Luo Xi in horror. It was that ghostly instant movement skill again. And this fellow hadnt even used the power armor. How could he punch with such power while weakened? How much fortune had this Black Death God acquired in the Dream world? Elster bellowed, "Attack together! Dont hold back!" The Frost Shaman summoned a frigid ice bird. A streak of earthen gold shot from Miyahara Reizos left eye. The Flame Demon launched a fireball. Ice blades, fireballs, long spears, lightning, earthen spikes... Skill attacks burst forth in a colorful display like fireworks, all directed at Luo Xi. But this time, no one dared to get close to Luo Xi again; the terrifying physical strength was simply inhuman. As he faced the onslaught, Luo Xi calmly pulled out the [Snowy Silver Wolf] from his knapsack, his body trembling slightly as a large amount of Yuan Su surged into the sword. "Sword Skill, Thousand Blossoms Cloud Slice." Sharp sword qi, supported by Luo Xis massive Yuan Su, broke through the attacks, but because Luo Xis sword skill was ultimately not strong enough, it didnt continue to advance after breaking through their attacks. He reluctantly put the sword away. Until his skill reached a certain level, it was still more satisfying to use his fists directly. However, even that single strike left the other players dumbstruck. Elster struggled to his feet, shaking in the legs. He wanted to command everyone to attack together, but then, a voice came through his earpiece. ["Use that measure, Elster."] Sarch* The N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Yes..." Elster looked down at his body with a wry smile. He pulled out a black artifact from his knapsack. [Transfer Book] [Quality: Purple Color (Epic)] [Category: Special Artifact (Lost Yuan Qi)] [Properties: Can absorb the power of other living beings and transfer it to another person. When enough power is absorbed, the transferor can temporarily break through the limits of their abilities, but the transferor will die after the effect ends (can be set to randomly assign mode, transferring the absorbed power to the person whose strength is estimated to increase the most)] [Additional Skill: Extreme Mutation (Locked)] Chapter 472 - 299: Florecia’s debut, Spark’s Frost Flame mode, Unrivaled in the world!

(8.4k)_4[Description: Every Lost Yuan Qi is a rare treasure on the continent, witnessing the epic and legends of the Lost Era, chanting poems that are already destroyed, yet still immortal.] The effect of this Lost Yuan Qi was straightforward: transfer. It would transfer the power of others to one person. However, once this ability was used, the transferee might be drained of life, and the transferor was bound to die without a doubt. In the Dream world, that was fine, since one could be resurrected after death. But in reality... Elster took a deep breath. There was no other choice. He opened the Book of Transfer. The black book immediately levitated and began to turn its pages automatically. At the same time, the light from The Sacred Boundary of Tila descended, sheltering everyone except Luo Xi. Sarch* The ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Elster roared, "Everyone, its all or nothing now! I will activate the random assignment mode of this item. Lets combine our strengths and randomly break through to Tier Four, to destroy the Black Death God!" Frost Shaman: "What kind of item is this?" "Its just for gathering power! Dont worry, there will be no consequences after using it!" "Really?" A group of people showed a distrustful attitude. "What are you waiting for? If we dont take down the Black Death God soon, theyre going to use their final technique!" "...Alright." [Ding! Will you offer your strength?] [Yes] After choosing yes, all the players let out hoarse cries of pain as the black book continuously absorbed something from within them. Luo Xi sensed that they were planning something big on the other side. But even with his strength weakened by the boundary, he was still unable to exert enough influence on them, protected by the epic item. Indeed, epic items were always so stubborn. But dont think youre the only ones who have them! Luo Xi was looking at his own text. [Rune structure adjustment complete, the power of the Black Abyss Flame Dragon has been integrated into Starfire] [Do you wish to summon Starfire into your world?] [Yes] From the travel pack of the Dreamland, a sphere interweaved with black, red, and blue rolled onto the ground. Luo Xi picked up the black and white hat covering the sphere and put it on his head. A series of new data for Starfire appeared in the text. [Rune Power Armor Starfire (Frost/Flame Blaze)] [Quality: Purple Color (Epic++)] [Category: Rune-made objects] [Attributes: After being worn, it can greatly enhance the wearers base attributes and significantly strengthen Transcendence/Mutation abilities.

Traveler, please believe that even the faintest Spark can one day start a raging fire.] "Master, Starfire is back!" A bright and soft voice rang in Luo Xis ear. The main structure of Starfire quickly softened and climbed onto Luo Xis body. On Luo Xis shoulder, a golden-haired young elf appeared, swinging delicate and smooth little legs. "Welcome back." Luo Xi flicked the little ones head lightly. "Is the masters warm strength coming again?" "...Dont talk for now." After Luo Xi finished donning Starfire, on the other side, the absorption process was finally complete. A black sphere floated above the black book, circled over everyones heads, and eventually landed on one person. It aimed to choose the entity with the strongest post-breakthrough strength. That person was none other than Miyahara Reizo from Ri Island! "Sir, are you all right?" Hirano Ichiro, having had his strength drained, knelt on the ground and called out to him with difficulty. Miyahara Reizo silently felt the changes within his body. An unspeakably terrifying power was altering his bodys structure. That was the collective power of more than thirty Transcendents. Thus, he stepped past the bottleneck of a Tier Four Mutation. As a human, he obtained the power of a Tier Four Lord-level Origin Beastthe Earth Metal Leopard. What a pity... Such power was but a fleeting existence. Miyahara Reizo raised his head, looking ahead at Luo Xi, now shrouded in black armor. No, there seemed to be additional colors to that armor. In human form, the black steel body, with interweaving ice blue and scarlet red on the chest, and flames rising continuously around the figure. What should have been intensely hot also carried an icy chill. But what of that? Miyahara Reizo had never felt better. Even though this strength was not genuinely his own! Boom! Across the ocean under what had been a clear sky, many dark clouds gathered, with dazzling bolts of lightning snaking menacingly through them. As the winds grew fierce, a downpour began to fall. Chapter 473 - 299: Florecia’s debut, Spark’s Frost Flame mode, Unrivaled in the world! (8.4k)_5 Chapter 473: Chapter 299: Florecias debut, Sparks Frost Flame mode, Unrivaled in the world! (8.4k)_5In an instant, Miyahara Reizo and Luo Xi both disappeared from the spot. Boom! In the torrential downpour, two figures collided, generating a massive shockwave that shook the entire island. If not for the protection of the magical barrier, the island would likely have already sunk. In the glaring flash of lightning, the two clashing figures were illuminated. The confidence and composure had vanished from Miyahara Reizos face, replaced by horror. How is this possible?! [Miyahara Reizo] [Race: Human Clan] [Tier: Tier Four Junior (Temporary State)] [Strength: 1520] [Physique: 1050] [Intelligence: 235] [Agility: 950] These were his current attributes. Even without using any skills, how could he, with just his base strength, not suppress this Black Death God, but instead be suppressed by it? Are you damn serious this is the combat capability a low-tier Transcendent should have? Is this what an epic-level power armor is? The two exchanged glances before throwing punches at each other once more. This time, they employed various enhancement skills. Fists and palms, elbow strikes, knee slams, and headbuttstheir every body part became lethal weapons as they unleashed a barrage against each other! However, inside the Spark, Luo Xi felt nothing, while Miyahara Reizo realized he was continuously bleeding. The speed of their fight had surpassed normal human vision; the rain couldnt even draw close before being blown away by the residual impacts of their ferocious attacks. The players paralyzed at the edge of the barrier and Chen Yao, protected by scrolls, were too shocked for words, staring blankly for a long time. "Domain!" Miyahara Reizo gritted his teeth and used his strongest ability gained upon reaching Tier Four. He was whitelisted by The Sacred Boundary of Tila, so it wouldnt prevent him from deploying his domain. In an instant, a terra-cotta-colored space unfolded with him at the center. Luo Xi sensed something ominous. "Stagnate." A grey world preemptively spread within the terra-cotta space. "Spark, initiate overload." "Yes!" The power of the Yuan Su Furnace Core was fully unleashed, and Luo Xi gained a 300% bonus once again. He raised his hand towards Miyahara Reizo. One second passed. Confirmation complete. Now, without his opponent initiating a domain ability, he could easily crush a low-tier Tier Four Transcendent like this one. In other words, if Luo Xi were to return to Winter City now, even without the repression of the Winter Divine Tree, he would be able to face the Bear King for a while. "Ethernal Frost, release." Two seconds passed. A power far surpassing all previous skills Luo Xi had unleashed was now condensed in Sparks hands, a Yuan Su unlike anything before, not counting the strength given by the Black Dragon. Three seconds passed. As the world regained its colors, a blizzard of extreme cold erupted, painting the air and ground ahead in icy blue. Miyahara Reizo, yet to complete his domain, along with his entire body, was encased by this terrifying power from the snow disaster. Luo Xi also entered a frozen state, but with the rise of the Dragon Kings Bright Flame, he quickly regained his ability to move. Crackling The ice on Miyahara Reizos body also began to shatter incessantly. Luo Xi frowned at the still-steady golden glow. "How long can this thing grant blessing?" Having this epic artifact was like giving the other side a massive reduction in damage. He did not know that below the island, those responsible for supplying the Essence Crystal to the artifact were already complaining bitterly. They had run out, run out for real. Just as Luo Xi prepared to unleash another Spark ability called Shining Flame Breaks against that person, the black book suddenly lit up and moved in front of the person. Miyahara Reizo grasped the book with his hands, now numb from the cold. [Extreme Malice: Unlock Successful] [Description: Can further amplify the transferees strength, consequences unknown] [Use it?] [Yes] He was already doomed, so what was there to hesitate? The next second, the black book entered his body. Miyahara Reizo roared towards the heavens. Luo Xi also launched Shining Flame Breaks. The two opposing forces were released one after another, devastating the ground before them, seemingly having no major effect on Miyahara Reizo. His body kept twisting, and his left eye emitted dazzling golden light. Gradually, the figure of a leopard, about seven or eight meters long, appeared on the land ravaged by ice and fire. Luo Xi had a stern expression. This pressure... Mid-tier, or High-tier Lord? Bang! Meanwhile, the surrounding barriers of The Sacred Boundary of Tila finally started to crack with many fractures appearing. The leopard set its sights firmly on Luo Xi, ready to pounce. Luo Xi steadied his breathing, preparing to face the enemy. Crack crack As the barrier shattered, a red figure descended with incredibly hot flames, the massive dragons claw slammed onto the leopard, burying it into a heap of earth. Florecia asked in a panic, "Little Luo Xi, has mommy come to play?" This teleportation covered a distance of over 500 kilometers; it took her several minutes to arrive. "No, youre not late." Sarch* The N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Luo Xi sighed with relief in his heart. He suddenly looked up. That was... Something high above was rapidly approaching. The ships nearby had all retreated at some unknown point. Without Luo Xi needing to say anything, Florecia, facing the sky, spat out a fireball several times larger than the one Luo Xi had released, shooting it upwards. Boom! Thousands of meters in the sky, a dazzling orb of light ignited, dispersing the black clouds. It wasnt just one; all the other large missiles getting near were detonated by the Red Dragon from thousands of meters away with a breath of fire. On the forum, in the livestream room of "The Fall of the Black Death God." At that moment, all the viewers were silent, the chat was devoid of messages, and no one spoke. The fight between Luo Xi and that enhanced tough guy had already stunned them. It wasnt even on the same level. [Bear King: 6, can the Black Death God big boss tell me how this dragon was brought out of the Dream World?] [Heart of the Deep Sea: Invincible! The first person in reality to bring a dragon from the Dream World?] [sensei: The point is she can turn into a giant lovely Lolita! Not only is she so powerful, she can also be ridden here...] Chapter 474 - 300 Female Ghost text reappears, didn’t ask you to lick our ice cream! (9k)_1 Chapter 474: Chapter 300 Female Ghost text reappears, didnt ask you to lick our ice cream! (9k)_1Inside the intelligence processing department of the Dreamland Federation Bureau. All the information processors were staring with their mouths agape at the live broadcast. The missiles launched by submarines and ships on standby ten nautical miles away from the island were all detonated in advance by the giant fireball spat out by the suddenly appearing Red Dragon. In an instant, a multitude of missile explosions and the shockwaves from the fireballs struck the ocean surface, creating several towering waves that engulfed some of their ships that had not yet completed their evacuation, swallowing them into the depths of the sea. "Is this dragon that suddenly appeared the same one that appeared in The Dark Void Tree event before?" "Image comparison complete, theres a 98% chance! Its confirmed to be that Sovereign Red Dragon!" "What about Miyahara Reizo, who was enhanced by the Book of Transference?" "His life force is still present! But hes been pinned down, we must go to his aid!" "Aid, my ass, thats a Sovereign-class Dragon Origin Beast!" "It seems its strength isnt as great as what we saw in the live broadcast before, I suspect it has been weakened!" "Thats still at least a Lord-tier presence, didnt you see Miyahara Reizo getting trampled on the ground by it? Hes about to be squeezed to death!" "Silence!" General Carl bellowed, his face grim as he listened to the orders in his earpiece, "Order the operation personnel below the island to retract the Sacred Boundary of Tila back to the Dreamworld, and all others are to evacuate. You lot keep an eye on the situation here." He then hastily grabbed the case that had been prepared on the table and strode towards a secret chamber. Below the island, they had buried their true last resort, a hydrogen bomb with a yield of tens of millions of tons. Honestly, he had initially felt that using this kind of thing against a player who had not yet fully grown was somewhat excessive, and it wasnt against a common enemy of humanity. Moreover, wasnt he afraid that Xia country would retaliate in the same way? But the higher-ups had insisted on him planning this operation. Carl murmured, "No wonder they invested so heavily. The Black Death Gods rate of improvement is too fast, and he has technology unknown to others for bringing people from the Dreamworld here. If we give him more time to grow, Xia country will gain unimaginable advantages in the realm of the Transcendents." Those high-ranking persons absolutely could not tolerate such a thing happening. A handsome, blond staff member with dark circles under his eyes watched Carl enter the secret chamber. His gaze swept over the live broadcast on the computer screen next to him and his own document. His document was different from that of the average player, with purely black fonts and borders, appearing like a pirated text box. "Another failure, huh." Ande sighed softly. He took out a monocle from his chest pocket, wiped it, and put it on his left eye. Sar?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The real world truly belonged to that person. Even the Game Masters of "Dawn" were on his side, which meant that in this world, it was almost impossible for him to lose. After all, if the referees are biased, how can one expect to win against their favored competitor? Its also because the opponent might have the protection of the gods that I dare not show myself to him and can only attempt to kill him this way. It seems I was too simplistic in my thinking. As the one indirectly guiding and driving this action from behind the scenes, Ande already knew what General Carl was about to do. However, how could someone under the protection of gods possibly die at the hands of human technological creations? What he had placed his hopes on was the epic itemthe Book of Transference. He had tainted this item with the Masters power, creating the Evil Transformation ability. As long as that leopard continues to enhance itself using this ability and relies on the Masters strength, he might still give that Luo Xi a little surprise. Unexpectedly, the opponent had also cheated, even bringing a high-tier Origin Beast from the Dreamworld that should not have been able to come to this world at this stage. This was sheer absurdity. The Master once told me that the two worlds still had a downward compatibility relationship. Despite the players called Otherworld Travelers having a blast in the Dreamworld, their world is the one that is compatible with the Dreamworld. This can be seen from the fact that items carried in the Dreamland kit can come to reality, but real-world items cannot go there. Until now, players can only travel to the Dreamworld in spirit at most, while the situation in the Dreamworld hasnt changed much. Conversely, the original reality has become a mess due to the appearance of Transcendents and various extraordinary items. When the day comes that things from the real world can also enter the Dreamworld... that will be the moment when the underlying rules of both worlds are completely merged. Thats probably the real intention of the Dreamworld consciousness, right? To merge the force of two worlds and jointly confront the coming of the Master. Ande adjusted his monocle, continuing to watch the live broadcast, and angled the camera towards where the Red Dragon was standing. Although he had anticipated the possibility of failure. He still wasnt resigned. At the very least, he wanted to see it through to the end. Just then, the majestic voice that could normally only be heard through devout prayer resounded in his mind. --[You have done well, with this opportunity, I can descend a strand of my strength to test that unknown existence] Andes eyes widened with ecstatic surprise. On the island. The violent shockwaves accompanied by fierce winds passed between Luo Xi and Florecia. Florecia, sensing there were no more incoming high-energy objects in the surrounding air, lowered her head. Her burning gold eyes looked toward Luo Xi, softly asking: Chapter 475 - 300 Female Ghost text reappears, didn’t ask you to lick our ice cream! (9k)_2 Chapter 475: Chapter 300 Female Ghost text reappears, didnt ask you to lick our ice cream! (9k)_2"Little Luo Xi, are there any other enemies here?" "There shouldnt be." Luo Xi glanced at the indistinct creature pinned under Dragon Mamas claw and then looked towards the edge of the small island. Wang Yuanjie and the others were still under the protection of the scroll. Luo Xi had deliberately avoided them during the previous battle, so the protective blessing hadnt been damaged, and there was no worry they would get hurt. There were also several dozen unconscious Transcendents, all lying together sleeping quite peacefully. After dealing with these people, he should be able to extract many decent talent crystals... "Roar!" The hoarse growl sounded under Dragon Mamas claw. "Hmm?" Florecias draconic claw exerted more force. Why did she feel like this guy was rapidly becoming stronger? No, he was indeed getting stronger continuously! Strange, if there was no external Yuan Su source to replenish, even if the strengths Tier increased, the fluctuations of the Yuan Su inside shouldnt be this violent... Black and red flames instantly swirled out from under her claws. First, she had to deal with this weird thing! "Little Luo Xi, step aside!" After roaring, Florecia grabbed the creature she had pinned to the ground and hurled it into the sky. In the moment the leopard was unable to move, the Red Dragon flickered above it and ferociously punched the leopards abdomen! "Sky Collapse!" The black and red flames penetrated the leopards body, like two giant waves parting the sea below, steaming up a large swath of hazy fog and turning the upcoming tidal wave into vapor as well. S~ea??h the N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. For a moment, the whole world became hazy, shifting from day to daybreak. Luo Xi snapped his fingers. "Stasis." One second passed. As the dreary colors tinged the world before Luo Xi, he too executed a Fiery Flicker, arriving above the seas surface. Below where Dragon Mama had evaporated the sea, the leopards body had a huge hole punched through it, though it seemed as if it wasnt dead yet. Its still not dead? Luo Xi was somewhat surprised. Florecia was a genuine Dragon Origin Beast, capable of crushing other Origin Beasts of the same Tier, so how could this one, mutated from a human, be so resilient? Two seconds passed. Luo Xi approached the leopard and, with the amplified power provided by Spark, kicked it up into the air. In many tokusatsu and anime, theres a trope where the villains and heroes dont mix with water. If he threw this creature into the sea, who knows, it might become stronger after two days and come back to bother him. Three seconds passed. "Ressia Mama, another punch!" Dragon Lady, who had just thrown a punch, had yet to recover when she saw an object flying towards her from below. Without much thought, following Luo Xis shout, she swung out another Dragon Kings crushing punch. This time, it struck the head! The leopards head was completely obliterated by the punch! However, just then, a power that made Florecias heart tremble surged out from the leopards body, and it got frozen above the sea surface. Before Florecias astonished eyes, the leopard emitted a stench that was all too familiar to her, and numerous tentacles grew from its body. Its size increased rapidly, turning pitch black as shadows. Bloody fog appeared now and then from within, carrying an eerie chill accompanied by dense clouds of evil, boiling and seething like hot water! In Florecias perception, this things Yuan Su fluctuations had almost broken through High-tier Lord status in just a few seconds, and it was sprinting towards the King level. [World Announcement! An abnormal creature has appeared in this world. Ordinary Transcendents and humans should not look directly at it. To protect the player community, pixelation is currently in process...] Those still watching the live broadcast found the screen filled with a bunch of mosaics. [Bear King: Damn, what the hell is with this mosaic?] [Heart of the Deep Sea: Is it something sensitive? Im 18 now; I can look.] [Kamen Rider 1: goddamn sensitive things, wasnt there just a fight? Where did the sensitive stuff come from? You see, Black Death God and his dragon seem to have no intention of confronting that pixelated thing!] [Argo: Luo Xi, stop fighting and come back, I have a bad feeling about this.] [Hurricane: It feels like trouble is coming. Isnt it something like The Dark Void Tree?] "Little Luo Xi, theres something wrong with this thing! Lets get out of here!" Florecia flickered beside Luo Xi, the aura released by this creature causing her heart to tremble, probably another work of Outer Gods Lord had mentioned. "My classmates are still over there, take them with us!" Seeing the leopard suddenly turn into an indescribable monster, Luo Xi also had no intention of staying and stubbornly fighting to the death. It was almost time for Sparks load operation to end. The armor on his body turned into writhing liquid and then regathered at his side to revert back into a spherical shape. The duration of Dragonization was also about to end. Having it removed, the debuff that lowered his attributes by eighty percent kicked in, immediately making him feel incredibly weak. His current condition indeed wasnt ideal to keep fighting. However, it seemed that the other side had no intention of letting them go. After Florecia flickered back to the island with Luo Xi, countless black and white bizarre butterfly-like creatures flew out from that monsters body, forming a dark cloud that blocked out the sun, and the monster itself floated towards them. Chapter 476 - 300 Female Ghost text reappears, didn’t ask you to lick our ice cream! (9k)_3 Chapter 476: Chapter 300 Female Ghost text reappears, didnt ask you to lick our ice cream! (9k)_3Luo Xi saw it, disproportionately huge eyeballs, an astoundingly sharp set of teeth, all sorts of strange organs exposed to the outsidethis thing was a nightmarish amalgamation that could make someone vomit at a single glance, emitting strong negative emotions and an aura of despair! Luo Xi had an urge to vomit but forcefully held it back. Damn Text, you better come out, what the hell is this? [Note: That guy seems to have forcefully squeezed a strand of his true power into this world, after this it likely wont be able to affect us here for a long time, Its trying to probe us head-on.] "Probe?" Luo Xi looked at the text and quickly made his way over to Wang Yuanjie. "Ressia Mama!" "Okay!" Florecia slapped her palm forward, and after smashing the scrolls defense, she grew even larger, grabbing the four of them in her hand. All four were scared half to death. What kind of monster was holding them? And what was that thing in the distance? Florecia looked at the black and white butterflies gradually enveloping the surrounding sky and the dense tentacles stretching over, took a deep breath, and exhaled a blaze of azure flame. "Flame of the Origin!" The flame from the Red Dragon Alexilita easily burned away those things covering the sky, and just as Florecia was preparing to charge out with Luo Xi and the others, the monster that had changed from a leopard completely opened its gigantic eyeball. Dim, deep golden-black beams furiously released towards them, turning into a surging torrent that obliterated everything in sight. Florecia had no choice but to switch the direction of her fire to meet the beam, but after only a moment, she felt her spirit hit by a heavy hammer. Luo Xi, seeing that things were not going well, opened the text. He had already prepared the Self-Shark in the text. That way, he could use Moonflow at any time. [Note: Garbage Traveler, its best not to backtrack this time. Its strand of true essence wont be taken back by that individual after a time reversal, it will only wander in this world, which is even more troublesome!] Luo Xi: "?" What should I do? That thing over there is even overpowering Dragon Mama now, am I supposed to use a real Mushroom Egg to bomb it? Then, something unexpected happened. [Ding! Talent: Sixth Sense has been triggered] The vision of death appeared in his mind. But this time, he wasnt killed by the monster. Instead, he was swallowed up by an explosion and a flash of white light appearing underneath him after five seconds. Damn! Just when I mentioned the Mushroom Egg, it actually came. They buried a Mushroom Egg down here?! How desperately do those bastards want to kill him? Luo Xi also wanted to know just what grievous sin he had committed. "Ressia Mama! Theres something under the island!" Luo Xi called out without wasting any time. "Below?" Florecia looked down; she too felt a terrifying energy building up below. That surge of energy, she thought she might be able to eat it. Fiery Flicker. The Red Dragon grabbed Luo Xi with her other claw, disappearing on the spot, allowing the terrifying white beam to pierce the island and sea behind her, turning a vast area into a sandy wasteland. Two seconds later, Florecia returned to the ground with a large metallic warhead in her mouth, which she swallowed without hesitation! Dreamland Federation Bureau. Carl: "???" He looked at the box on his desk, perplexed. What the hell? Although he couldnt understand the changes that had occurred there, determined to completely kill the Black Death God and not let him escape, he resolutely used two keys to unlock the detonation lock of the hydrogen bomb and pressed the button. How did that dragon notice it and then go down and eat it? This makes no sense! Luo Xi felt his perspective swiftly rising. No, it was Dragon Mama growing larger! Eighty meters, a hundred meters, a hundred and fifty meters. A dragon over a hundred meters long flapped her wings, the blue flames gathering in her mouth once again, and at this moment, the Black Abyss Flame Dragon, due to the raging power within, possessed the terrifying strength of a high-tier sovereign from the Dream World. The monster opened its eyes, looking towards Luo Xis direction. Boom! sea??h th Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The golden-black beam shot out again. At the same time, a chilling might coalesced within the Red Dragon, who opened her mouth and spewed forth a blue flame. Those millions of tons of nuclear materials, transformed by Florecia and spat out, turned into a blue-purple flame of destruction, covering the object still ejecting the black-gold light entirely! "Sssssss" Hearing the sharp and raspy friction sound, one felt their soul shivering from the monsters mouth. Soon after, in the distant seas and skies, Florecias flame of the origin fused with nuclear material crossed through the monster and fell into the sea, a massive mushroom cloud rising furiously. At the same time, all live-streaming channels returned to normal. [World Announcement! This live stream has come to an end, did all the Travelers enjoy it?

Watching the live broadcast disappear, Ande crushed the mouse with sudden force, pushed his monocle, and left the place without looking back. Luo Xi, huh? Whether youre the chosen one of the real worlds will or an agent of some other Outer God, in the end, the one who will triumph is me. Luo Xi stared blankly at the mushroom cloud rising in the distance, and when he saw waves hundreds of meters high, he sensed terrible heat and shock waves rapidly approaching. Of course, both the heat and the shock waves seemed trivial compared to the appearance of that monster. Is the monster dealt with? To Luo Xi, the area ahead appeared to be completely blank now, the strange anomalies caused by the monsters emergence had vanished without a trace. "Ressia Mama, are you all right?" Luo Xi asked worriedly. After swallowing such a huge Mushroom Egg, although it seemed like the ingredients were converted into flames and spat out, wouldnt there be some impact from the nuclear radiation? "Im fine." Florecia gently placed Luo Xi on her back, and a clear voice rang in his ear, "Little Luo Xi, Mama feels better than ever before. Those things were so delicious, not entirely flawless Yuan Su, but they contained a huge amount of energy, much tastier than Yuan Su crystals, and they could be quickly converted into Strengthburp! Is there any more of it?" Luo Xi: "..." He hadnt expected that nuclear materials from the real world could be swallowed down by Florecia as if they were tonic pills or power banks. If he had known earlier, he would have asked Xia country for a few, which would have saved so much trouble. [Note: Damn Traveler, dont let your guard down, that thing is still here!] The text box from Damn Text suddenly popped up and smacked Luo Xi. Still here? Where? He glanced around, holding onto Dragon Mamas horn ring. Suddenly, Luo Xis expression changed drastically; he saw a black book next to Florecias tail, the pages turning on their own. "Stasis." Luo Xi decisively froze time. He stepped towards the book, aiming to punch it away. [Note: Garbage Traveler, dont move, let me handle this. This thing is just waiting for garbage Traveler you to touch it, really bad~] "Hm?" Luo Xi was taken aback. What does this mean? Could it be that Damn Text can appear here too? As a grayish hue covered the world Luo Xi had stopped in time, streaks of cold starlight fell, and a petite figure approached, bathed in the starlight. Sear?h the novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Is this Damn Text? Luo Xi blinked. At that moment, he regained the memory of the last time it was blocked. Wait, he had already met Damn Text before? He seemed to have... he seemed to have taken a bite of her... ice cream? Luo Xi looked puzzled. No wonder Damn Text kept mocking him afterward, saying all sorts of strange things about being dirtied... Tap tap tap The petite figure, covered in dazzling starlight and glowing white, walked up to him with small steps, hands on hips, and spoke disdainfully, "Trash Fish Traveler, what are you looking at? Afraid of being blinded by my shine?" Luo Xi: "..." He felt stiff, his fists clenched. If he didnt know that he couldnt beat this Damn Text, hed have taken her and educated her severely! Luo Xis gaze involuntarily drifted toward the legs of this Female Ghost divine Lord. What was that feeling last time? Soft, small, fragrant... As if sensing Luo Xis thoughts, the petite figure stepped back, her little feet shuffling uneasily before she snapped, "Perverted Loli-con Traveler! What are you thinking about? Do you like ice cream that much? You had so many chances to eat Cat Cat and Little Wolfs ice cream before. Why didnt you eat those!" Luo Xi glared and retorted, "Who the damn likes ice cream! Youre making baseless accusations and smearing my innocence, you Female Ghost text!" "Keep denying it. Wait, who are you calling a Female Ghost?! I am..." "You are what?" "I am..." The petite figure stumbled over the words several times, then huffed angrily, "Call me whatever you like; it doesnt matter. You wont remember any of this once you leave anyway. Im here to deal with this crappy thing, so dont get in my way!" She approached the black book, sneering, "Heh, thinking of using this as bait to lure out my Agent and then reveal my location to attack me in person?" Luo Xi: "???" Getting an education, even deities talk about personal attacks? Luo Xi asked, "So what do we do?" "No big issue, Ill just collect it and put it away." The petite figure pulled out a box engraved with countless strange patterns from nowhere, then deposited the book into it and pocketed the box. Yes, she literally stuffed it into her chest. She bragged, "Signal jammer, everyone whos used it recommends it. Theres no such thing as getting to me in person!" Luo Xi curiously asked, "Cant you beat that guy?" "Ha? Cant beat him? Hmph, youre really underestimating me." Chapter 478 - 300 Female Ghost text reappears, didn’t ask you to lick our ice cream! (9k)_5 Chapter 478: Chapter 300 Female Ghost text reappears, didnt ask you to lick our ice cream! (9k)_5The petite figure turned her head and huffed, "I just dont want people knocking on my door, okay? I have a bit of social anxiety. After all, Im not like you, you suspicious freak and perverted traveler, always thinking of abducting beast-eared little lolitas." "p~p~p." Several p marks popped up on Luo Xis forehead. This damn Female Ghost text! Abducting? Youre the one whos doing half the luring! I really want to take Her arrogance down a notch, press Her into the ground, and teach Her a lesson, so She knows who the big brother is. "Hmph, I can hear everything youre thinking loud and clear, all this stuff youre always thinking about is why youre so weak and trash-fish like," the petite figure said, with her hands behind her head. "Alright, I thought I might be in for it, but looks like I got lucky. That dragon still had that use, so since its resolved, I can go back to sleep~" Luo Xi shouted, "Wait a minute!" "What is it?" The petite figure turned back, suddenly realizing, "You want to eat my ice cream, right? Come on, Ill treat you this time, eat your fill." Sarch* The ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. A pair of tiny feet shrouded in light extended towards Luo Xi. Luo Xi: "...." Somethings not right! This is really not right! Luo Xi remembered that this brat had mentioned in the metaphorical comments of the text before that if the ice cream hardens and he stuffs it in his mouth, then he would end up gnawing on a lump of iron. Malignant! Luo Xi shook his head, "I want to know, who exactly is the mastermind behind this, and also the person in reality related to that Outer God, cant you find out?" "Whos the mastermind... Although its your humans own business, its hard for Me not to believe someone is deliberately pushing buttons here. They must know about you being My agent, and they will definitely try to test you in all sorts of ways." The petite figure retracted her feet, thought for a moment, and said: "I really cant find out. Such beings can easily bestow their Blessing on a devotee or an agent; unless he comes to show off right in front of Me, even if he walked past you, I might not notice." Luo Xi pondered. "Thats it for now," said the petite figure. "Im running out of time, and My time is quite limited as it is." "Um," Luo Xi nodded. Then, Luo Xi saw the Female Ghost deity take a couple of steps, then come back, lifted her calf in front of him, and giggled, "Trashy Traveler, really not going to take a bite? This is your favorite ice cream~" Luo Xi: "(p)=!" This is intolerable! He emptied his mind, pretended to bite, and suddenly hugged the slender leg covered in light, rubbing the warm yet hard-as-iron sole. "Hmm? Ah ah!" The petite figure didnt seem to expect Luo Xi to suddenly do this. "Trash, Im not ticklishwhat the hell? I told you to bite, not lick!" Slap! .... Luo Xi was somewhat dazed as he came back to his senses. He found himself standing on the tail of the Dragon Mama. His face felt a bit painful, as if hed been kicked. Hmm? What about that black book? A moment ago, he had seen a black book sparkle over here, but after using time stop, the book had suddenly disappeared. Damn Text, where are you? That thing must be important, losing it could cause serious trouble. [Note: ()! Trashy traveler get lost, your slimy saliva is disgusting! Next time, next time I will heat it up to a billion degrees before stuffing it in your mouth!] Luo Xi: "???" The Damn Text is having another one of its fits. Forget it, Im used to it, this guy is always like that. Since the Damn Text hasnt mentioned anything about that black book, it probably has been dealt with properly. For some reason, Luo Xi feels like hes forgetting something very important. Strange feeling. "Ressia Mama, is there any danger nearby?" Luo Xi asked the Dragon Mama beneath him. "Mamas senses tell Me its all gone, but can you let Mama fire off one more shot? BurpMama feels so full, so heavy..." Luo Xi: "..." "Are Weier and the others far from here?" "Not really far, just about a minute away?" "Then lets first take my classmates and friends over there, and her... Lets get them to safety first. Later, I want Ressia Mama to accompany me to a place, is that okay?" Luo Xi is not prepared to return home crestfallen. Although hes not clear who the true mastermind is, he knows well enough that there is a country involved behind the scenes. "Little Luo Xis requests will definitely be granted by mom! By the way, who is she? Mom smelled her, and she has a scent similar to yours." Luo Xi: "..." Dragon Mamas sense of smell was indeed very keen, even comparable to Ainas. Luo Xi said softly, "Shes my mother, in the sense of blood relations." "I see..." Florecias flying speed suddenly slowed down. She asked somewhat nervously, "Little Luo Xi, you wouldnt abandon mom, would you?" Luo Xi was caught between laughter and tears. This Dragon Lady was great in every way, she just always feared he would leave her. "Of course not." Luo Xi approached Florecias head, touched her horn, and smiled, "Thats why I said in the sense of blood relations. She and I, we dont get along well." "So Little Luo Xi has a better relationship with mom?" "Yes." "Ehehe~" A giggle like that of a silly girl echoed in Luo Xis ear. The corners of Luo Xis mouth turned up slightly. He felt for his clothes and realized his phone was missing. It was probably past seven now. Even though it was still daytime here, it was nighttime in Xia country, and he had no idea what time it would be when they got back. More than a minute later. Florecia landed with Luo Xi on an uninhabited island. On the island, one could see smoke rising, probably someone was burning something. The Red Dragon casually dropped the four people she held in her claw onto the beach, her form began to rapidly dissipate into scattering points of light, and a girl with red dragon horns and a white dress emerged. The only thing that slightly puzzled Luo Xi was Florecias belly, which was noticeably larger than before and her delicate features flushed with red. Was she too full from eating? Luo Xi checked on the four people who had passed out at some point. Dragon Mamas protection was solid, they were all uninjured; they had probably been knocked out by fright or from motion sickness. "Brother Luo Xi!" He heard someone calling him. Looking up, he saw it was Aina, running over with a crab in her hand and her little feet bare. Weier and Ai Xue werent nearby, could they still be inside the island? The Little Wolf Girl approached Luo Xi, inspected him thoroughly to ensure he wasnt injured, then ditched the crab to leap into Luo Xis arms. Aina with a (n) face said, "Brother Luo Xi, there was a really scary noise over there! And a huge mushroom-like cloud, Aina was quite afraid you wouldnt come back." "How could we not return?" Luo Xi smiled and petted the Wolf Eared Lolitas head. He subconsciously looked at the Little Wolf Girls feet, stepping on the sandy beach without shoes, covered with moist sand. He felt a sense of dj vu. What exactly had he forgotten? [Note: Police uncle, come catch this hentai trash Traveler! (" angry)!] "Senior, youre back!" From across the trees on the island, Ai Xues voice sounded, Luo Xi turned his head and saw Ai Xue and Cat Cat carrying a large stone cauldron filled with clean water. Cat Cat said to Luo Xi, "Pervert, do you want some barbecue? There are lots of fish and shrimp here." Luo Xi: "...." Though there had just been a nuclear explosion, it shouldnt have been so quick to have radiation come over, right? Luo Xi calculated the time and figured that after eating, if he asked Dragon Mama to take them to visit Mei Country and then fly back to Xia country, they could probably get home by 12 oclock. But before that, he needed to report his safety to Xia countrys travel bureau. "Ai Xue, give me a phone." "Okay." Ai Xue took out a phone from her pocket and handed it to Luo Xi. Their phones were specially made by the travel bureau, equipped with satellite phone functions. "Hello?" "This is Luo Xi." Jiu Jian said with relief, "I can hear you, good to know youre safe." Luo Xi said softly, "Master Jiu Jian, just wanted to let you know, Im going somewhere soon." "Hmm... just make sure you dont harm any civilians, and give them a good wallop in the face!" Chapter 479 - 301: Taking Four Little Lolita to See Grandma, The Sacred Boundary of Tila (7k)_1 Chapter 479: Chapter 301: Taking Four Little Lolita to See Grandma, The Sacred Boundary of Tila (7k)_1Xia country. Jing City, headquarters of the Dreamland Travel Bureau. After receiving the report from Jiao Qian that Luo Xi was safe and sound, the person in charge of the headquartersZhao Mucang finally let out a sigh of relief. Although it was the Haicheng Branch that directly contacted Luo Xi, within that day, the entire Xia countrys Travel Bureau branches had been mobilized. The collection and transport of over thirty thousand catties of Essence Crystals had consumed a significant amount of manpower and material resources. Fortunately, the headquarters had a certain reserve of resources. Coupled with the emergency support from other provinces and cities, they managed to gather such a large quantity. Following the incident last night, Zhao Mucang was originally prepared to personally persuade Luo Xi not to put himself in danger. However, his intentions were rejected by Jiao Qian and the Nine Swords team. The Haicheng Branch asked him to trust Luo Xi and simply provide him with resource assistance. After hesitating for a long time, Zhao Mucang agreed to Haichengs decision. When the live broadcast started and Luo Xi was taken away by a group of people using a transfer artifact, surrounded by a group of Transcendents, his heart jumped into his throat. He just didnt expect Luo Xis combat power to give him such a big surprise. Absolute overwhelming! Movements like a teleporting apparition combined with terrifying punches. One punch sent those people flying in all directions! Whats called the Black Death God, ah! (Leans back~) To be honest, at that time, Zhao Mucang felt like he was practically set ablaze with excitement. That power to forcibly dismantle schemes of others, the ability to destroy the desiccated and pull down the rotten, almost made him believe he was reading a thrilling novel. Of course, there were huge emotional ups and downs. The well-preparedness of the other side also caused him to break out in a cold sweatepic artifacts that could suppress abilities, absorbing others powers to advance in tiers... Luckily, after Luo Xi used the power armor that had become his trademark, he wasnt at a disadvantage at all and was even able to beat down his opponent until that person suddenly mutated into the form of an Origin Beast. At that moment, Zhao Mucang deeply regretted why he couldnt provide Luo Xi with more support. Actually, the headquarters still had one hidden epic artifact in reserve. Had they given it to Luo Xi, perhaps he would have had an even easier time... Then, upon seeing that Red Dragon suddenly appear and once again reversing the situation, Zhao Mucang finally realized why Haicheng City had insisted on trusting Luo Xi. A King-tier Dragon Origin Beast, ah! All nations had reached a conclusion that humanitys strongest weapon could at most combat a Tier Four Lord-class Origin Beast, but a King-class Origin Beast is not an entity that can be killed simply by amassing the equivalent power of a heap of Mushroom Eggs. The mere presence of a domain could make high-tier Origin Beasts invincible. Not to mention the strongest race among Origin Beasts, the dragons. That terrifying destructive force could be seen from the apocalyptic scene unleashed by the Red Dragon with a breath similar to a nuclear explosion that followed. Although a strange phenomenon occurred afterward, because the live broadcast was censored, Zhao Mucang didnt see the details, and it somehow ended mysteriously. Zhao Mucang tapped his fingers gently on the table a few times. Luo Xi said he was going to collect debts, right? Thats also true; those guys went too far this time. If they had succeeded in hunting down Xia countrys top player in such a way, Xia country would not let it go and would retaliate in the same manner. Now, although it hasnt come to the worst, they have no reason to retaliate. But Luo Xi does. He is the victim after all. Zhao Mucang picked up the phone, dialed Jiao Qians number, and said in a deep voice, "Jiao Qian, can you still contact Luo Xi now?" The Jiao Qian on the other end of the phone didnt seem to want to answer. This guy isnt planning on poaching someone again, is he? Aside from Luo Xis own immense strength, that dragon that could appear in reality is enough to make many people envious. "Uh, Minister Zhao, we are also on our way back, and the signal might not be so good here..." "Cut the crap." Zhao Mucang said bluntly, "Dont worry, Im not trying to take your man. I just want to give him a bit of guidance on where to go, otherwise he might not even know where to head." Jiao Qian: "..." Who would believe that? Even if its the headquarters of the Dreamland Travel Bureau, they would certainly need someone like Luo Xi. Sar?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. After all, such a powerful young man remaining in a small place like Haicheng, truly seems like a waste of talent. ... Its still daytime across the ocean. On the sandy beach of a deserted island, a bonfire crackles unceasingly, grilling the fish, crabs, and other seafood skewered above it, hissing and emitting smoke. Ai Xue checked to make sure her cousin had only fainted, and finally, the weight that had been hanging on her heart dropped. If something had happened to Sister Heart Moon, she didnt know how she would explain it to her family and her uncle. Ai Xue walked over and sat down by the fire. Across, Luo Xi was wolfing down a pile of big fish that Florecia had just brought up from the sea. Too lazy to slowly grill with a small fire, he directly used red-hot flames to char several tuna into carbon, then peeled off the outer layer and popped the hot, red and tender flesh of the fish into his mouth. In just a few minutes, Luo Xi had already devoured several large tunas. Weier said somewhat speechlessly, "Why are you eating like a starving ghost?" Luo Xi sucked on his fingers, relishing the taste of the seafoods natural juices, and laughed, "I just had a big fight, so Im hungry, ah. You didnt see it; to kill me, those junk used so many methods. If someone else was there, theyd probably die a hundred times over." Because of the negative effects of Dragonization, Luo Xi was still under a debuff that reduced all his qualities by eighty percent. Although his base attributes were so high that even -80% was still much higher than an average persons, the various uncomfortable sensations were still affecting him. Chapter 480 - 301: Taking Four Little Lolitas to Meet Grandma, The Sacred Boundary of Tila (7k)_2 Chapter 480: Chapter 301: Taking Four Little Lolitas to Meet Grandma, The Sacred Boundary of Tila (7k)_2For example, sleepiness, tiredness, hunger. "Cat Cat, do you want a piece?" Luo Xi pinched a piece of meat and brought it to Weiers lips. Weiers eyebrows twitched as she saw Luo Xis fingers were a bit wet, clearly from his own saliva. A faint blush visible to the naked eye appeared on Cat Cats pretty face. After hesitating for a few seconds, she shook her head and said, "I dont want it, you eat it." "Ah" Sar?h the novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Aina, noticing Ai Xue next to her getting fidgety, decisively bit down on the fish meat in Luo Xis hand and glanced sideways at her sister with some irritation. When would her sister overcome her stubbornness? She thought if Brother Luo Xi got snapped up by one of the girls here, Weier should take at least half the blame! Luo Xi was also startled by Ainas actions. Suddenly, he felt a series of sucking sensations from his fingers. The moist tenderness of the Wolf Eared Lolitas small tongue, along with the feeling of her sharp little fangs scraping against his fingers, strangely invigorated Luo Xis spirit. Weier: "..." Cat Cat pursed her lips. She didnt care at all. Aina really, didnt she notice the saliva on it? [Note: The damn Traveler who loves to lick ice cream is head over heels for Brother Luo Xi and Little Ainas sisterly rivalry. Poor Cat Cat, shes likely to be outpaced by her little sister~] Luo Xi: "???" What the hell is this Damn Text talking about? After Aina finished the fish, she picked up a crab from the wooden stick and asked uncertainly, "Brother Luo Xi, Ai Xue says this crab is edible, but it looks so weird. Can we really eat it?" Ai Xue interjected casually, "Of course you can, just watch her." To the right of Luo Xi, Florecia picked up a crab that had been grilled to a reddish-black color, stared at it with her tea-golden eyes for a moment, then threw the whole crab into her mouth and swallowed without chewing. Her throat didnt show any movement at all. Aina: "..." Can this kind of shellfish really be eaten like this? Lets give it a try. Carefully, Aina placed the crab into her mouth. Bite Crack. The sound of a crisp crack. "Ptooey!" The Little Wolf Girl immediately spat out the contents of her mouth and pointed at Ai Xue with an aggrieved expression: "You bad woman, thats not how to eat it!" "Heh heh, I never said thats how you eat it. You were the one who couldnt wait," Ai Xue said with a bit of joy. The Wolf Eared Lolita had been looming ominously behind her several times before, and the terrifying aura made Ai Xue feel like she was on the verge of being attacked. Then she saw Aina stand up, run over to Luo Xi with a pout, and sit in his lap, showing a pitiful little expression. The Little Wolf Girl looked up at Luo Xi with her moist, tea-golden eyes and tugged at his sleeve, saying, "Brother Luo Xi, shes so mean, but Aina is generous and has already forgiven her. How do I eat this thing though? Can Brother teach Aina hands-on?" Ai Xue: "..." Why does she feel like this Wolf Eared Lolita not only has yandere tendencies but is also infuriatingly smug? Indeed, the Wolf Eared Lady might be her biggest rival in love. If only she and Weier could switch ages, shed never have the chance to sneak around with the senior. "Ill show you how," Luo Xi said. Luo Xi took the crab from Ainas hand and personally taught her how to crack it open and eat the edible parts within. Weier was also listening with her ears perked up. She wanted to know how to eat it too. Florecia, on the other hand, was unfazed. It was just a taste for herthis type of thing tasted similar regardless, and with her appetite, to truly satisfy her hunger, shed probably exterminate a whole sea areas worth of fish. Ring Ai Xues phone suddenly rang. She glanced at the phone screen. Jing City time, seven forty, incoming call, unknown. Speaking of which, it seemed her talent evaluation was calculated according to the time in the Dream World, which was almost exactly the same as Xia countrys standard time, so her body had started to shrink by now. "Senior, it must be for you," Ai Xue said as she handed the phone to Luo Xi. Luo Xi put down the crab he was holding, took the phone and immediately pressed the answer and speakerphone buttons. Everyone here was an insider, there was nothing they shouldnt hear. "Hello, is this Mr. Luo Xi?" A calm male voice came from the other end of the line. "Yes, it is," Luo Xi responded. "Hello Mr. Luo Xi, Im the head of the Dreamland Travel Bureau in Xia country, my name is Zhao Mucang." "Ah?" Luo Xi was momentarily stunned, then quickly replied, "Hello Mr. Zhao." Hearing Luo Xi on the phone, Aina didnt want to disturb him, so she took the crab back to Weiers side and deliberately made a face at Ai Xue. Ai Xues lips twitched. She was quick to gloat. If it werent for the crowd here, shed have engaged in some intimate gestures with the senior in front of this Wolf Eared Lolita, letting her watch as she wrapped the senior around her finger... Of course, this was just wishful thinking. Aina was still young and not a threat at all. If the senior dared to turn into a Kitchen Saint and make a move on this Wolf Eared Lolita, hed probably be obliterated by the almighty overlord known as censorship the next day. It took Luo Xi about five minutes before he hung up the phone. Ai Xue asked, "Senior, are they coming to pick us up?" She heard the senior mention having someone come over and shared their coordinates. "I asked them to come pick up my classmates and your sister. You all should come with me when they arrive," Luo Xi said with a slightly odd expression. "The headquarters of the Travel Bureau told me they would send me the locations of the departments in Mei Country and several other countries that might have been behind this incident, that deal with Dawn. They said to keep things low-key." Chapter 481 - 301: Taking Four Little Lolitas to Meet Grandma, The Sacred Boundary of Tila (7k)_3 Chapter 481: Chapter 301: Taking Four Little Lolitas to Meet Grandma, The Sacred Boundary of Tila (7k)_3Ai Xue: "Hmm?" Does this mean asking the senior to trouble other countries? Is this really okay? It seems very dangerous... Ai Xue glanced at the Dragon Lady beside Luo Xi, who had just eaten another big fish raw. Oh, with her here, theres no problem. Aina tugged at Luo Xis hand, blinked her eyes, and asked softly, "Brother Luo Xi, are we not going to see Grandma tonight?" Luo Xi: "...." He didnt really want to bring so many people back all at once. If Grandma saw them, she might really think that hes a criminal who abducts little girls. But who made him promise them during the day that they could go over after handling things here tonight... After thinking, Luo Xi said, "Once weve dealt with the situation over there, with Ressia Moms current speed, maybe we can make it back to my hometown before the effect of the nest expires." Florecia stood up and smiled, "Mom has recovered some of her strength now, and can fly even faster." "Then lets not waste any more time, lets go now." Luo Xi wrapped some leftover seafood in coconut leaves and placed them beside the four who had fainted. If they woke up and the rescue from Xia country hadnt arrived yet, they could eat some to stave off hunger. Sar?h the novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Uh..." At that moment, a muffled sound rang out. Luo Xi stopped in his tracks and looked back. Wang Xiao propped herself up with her hands on the ground, leaning against a tree as she got up. She stared blankly at Luo Xi and the few girls beside him. During the time she was protected by the bright shield, she had seen Luo Xis fight with those people, every move made her feel like she was still dreaming. Especially the sudden appearance of that giant dragon at the end. If not for the very real feeling of pain, she would never believe this was the real world. When did her child with her ex-husband become so powerful? "Luo Xi, where are you going? And where is this?" she asked. Luo Xi said softly, "Auntie, Ive contacted rescue for you all. Just wait here, and someone will come to take you back soon. Dont worry, you can still live your rich ladys life when you get back." Auntie? Wang Xiao couldnt believe it and said hoarsely, "Youre calling me auntie? I am your mom!" No matter what, she was Luo Xis biological mother. How could he call her auntie? Luo Xi just looked at her with an indifferent expression. "I am her mother." A voice suddenly resounded in Wang Xiaos mind. Communication enabled by Spirit allowed for understanding even without knowing the language. Although Florecia didnt understand the specifics of what the woman was saying, she just had a feeling. "?" Who is speaking? Wang Xiao looked around in confusion. Florecia walked in front of Wang Xiao, and her golden vertical pupils stared at her face. "A mother who abandons her child does not deserve to be a mother. You gave up Little Luo Xi yourself; he is mine now, and no one can take him." Is this woman speaking? Wang Xiao stared dumbfounded at the red-haired, Dragon Horn girl with a chest so large her dress seemed barely able to hold it. "Who are you?" "Im Little Luo Xis mama, ah." Florecia smiled and said, "The child you didnt want is now mine, understand?" "What the hell!" Wang Xiao spat at the Dragon Lady angrily, but the spit evaporated in an instant, turning to steam as it neared Florecia with extreme heat. The Dragon Horn girls golden dragon eyes exerted a hint of pressure. In an instant, Wang Xiao felt like she was seeing a terrifyingly immense dragon, standing behind the red-haired girl, coldly watching her. Could it be... Could it be that she is the Red Dragon from before? "No, I refuse to believe in such things in the world, I will not accept" The woman screamed, her hands against the sand backing away. Slap! Luo Xi flickered to Wang Xiaos side and knocked her out with a hand chop. He said to the Dragon Lady with some helplessness, "What did you say to her?" Florecia blinked and said, "Nothing much, Mama just told her that Im your mama now." "Ah." Luo Xi remembered something and asked, "You can speak our language?" "Hmm? Little Luo Xi, what should you call me?" "...Ressia Mama, can you speak our language?" "Its just telepathy." "No wonder. Lets go then." Amidst the spreading waves of intense heat, a nearly hundred-meter Red Dragon appeared on the islands beach, looking majestic yet with a somewhat bulging belly. Ai Xue and Wei Er Ainuo climbed up the dragons tail to her back together. Luo Xi jumped onto Dragon Mamas head, grabbing the edge of a Dragon Horn. This position was only allowed for him; anyone else trying to stand there would be shaken off. Although standing on a giant dragons head does indeed feel more like a dragon rider... Florecia patted her belly with her paw and said, "Little Luo Xi, Mamas tummy feels so full, those things contained so much energy. Theyre really filling, but eating too much can be rough on the stomach..." Goddamn stomach issues. When Luo Xi thought of how Florecia swallowed the hydrogen bombs like candy, he felt it was quite absurd. He wondered if the Dream world has elements like uranium and plutonium. But even if it did, theyre probably rare in their element forms, since even in the real world, nuclear materials are processed and purified. Chapter 482 - 301: Taking Four Little Lolitas to Meet Grandma, The Sacred Boundary of Tila (7k)_4 Chapter 482: Chapter 301: Taking Four Little Lolitas to Meet Grandma, The Sacred Boundary of Tila (7k)_4Phew! Amid the roaring wind, the red dragons speed instantly broke the sound barrier, doubling, tripling, and then began intermittent long-distance blinking. Thanks to the surging energy in her belly, Florecia could cover around three kilometers in a second with her current frail body, and a blink would take her even seven or eight kilometers. Thirty minutes later. Luo Xi saw the coastline of a continent. That was his target destination this time. It seemed to be around early morning on this side of the west coast. "Ressia Mama, fly straight into the continent, no need for cognitive shielding." "Mhm." A hundred-meter-long giant dragon blatantly flew into the airspace of Mei Country, setting off air raid alarms in various cities, with several fighter jets scrambling to intercept whatever had intruded into their airspace. "Fuck, what the hell is that?" "Can we open fire?" "Open fire my ass; its too fast, we cant lock on!" "Do not fire! Absolutely do not fire! Everyone return to base!" A hysterical voice echoed in the headset from a certain Air Force person in charge. He had seen the red dragon spew a nuclear-explosion-like mushroom cloud on the live broadcast. Now that the red dragon was in their territory, if it went crazy and hit each major city one by one, who could endure it? Down in the cities below, people were on the streets, suddenly covered by a shadow for an instant, and when they looked up again, the sky seemed unchanged. Mei Dreamland Federal Bureau. General Carl angrily hung up the phone from the President. He didnt know what the Black Death God intended to do. But he had been successfully made the scapegoat for this incident. All blame was put on his head in preparation to appease the furious Black Death God who had come storming in. "It was clearly you guys who asked me to do it!" "No way, I have to go" Bang bang bang bang! Carl looked back in shock. One of his assistants, with a pistol, had fired several shots into his back. As an ordinary person, he did not have the ability of the Transcendents to withstand modern weapons, and in a haze of consciousness, Carl fell to the ground, dead. General Carl, who managed the Mei Dreamland Federal Bureau, had coveted the high-level equipment of the Black Death God and, using his authority, planned this operation. Thus, after the arrival of the Black Death God, he committed suicide out of fear of prosecution. An hour later, the red dragon left the continent. Apart from those involved in the incident, no one knew what had happened. On Florecias back, Luo Xi looked at the newly acquired epic item in his travel bag, feeling some pleasure. He had come over this time to steal. The high-ranking persons wouldnt give it to him readily at first. They even wanted to offer the head of some behind-the-scenes schemer as an apology. The hell does he need a head for? So Luo Xi had Florecia fly outside and spit a small one at a mountain. As a small mushroom cloud rose, the mountain was effortlessly flattened. It seemed that the other party was frightened, and in the end, they handed over the equipment to Luo Xi. "Tyras Holy Field Barrier" "Quality: Purple Color (Epic)" "Category: Seal Class Item" "Attributes: Enemies below Tier Five in strength who enter the barrier without being on the authorized list will be unable to use spatial abilities such as movement and domain, depending on the quantity and quality of the Yuan Su infused into the item." "Additional Skills: Sacred Blessing, Sacred Light Cut" "Sacred Blessing: Can consume Yuan Su to reduce 90% of the damage received by those blessed within the barrier." "Sacred Light Cut: Unlocked (Available to those who wield the power of light)" "Description: A functional epic item, it was crafted over 1000 years ago by a Grandmaster Forge Master named Tila from the Shining Country, for a friend who loved to fight. However, that friend encountered an Origin Disaster on a journey, leaving no remains, only this item." At first glance, the Sacred Boundary of Tila appeared to be a golden ping-pong ball, but once expanded, it would form a protective domain. The domain could increase or decrease in size, and as the controller of the Divine Tree, Luo Xi was quite familiar with this kind of thing. It was indeed very useful, but it consumed too much Essence Crystal. It was fine when there was an inexhaustible supply of Yuan Su in Dreamland, but in this world, using this thing was like pouring money into a bottomless pit. "Lets go, lets go home." Luo Xi patted the Dragon Horn, guiding Florecias direction. A journey of over ten thousand kilometers. With Dragon Mamas current speed, it would still take over an hour to get there. Luo Xi lay down on the dragons back, embracing the three already drowsy Lolitas on either side, and squinted his eyes for a little nap. After passing by a long and narrow kingdom, Luo Xi suddenly remembered something. He had Ai Xue check the location of a certain place. After knowing the specifics, he had Florecia breathe fire there. As for compensations from Ri Island, he couldnt be bothered to claim them personally. The travel agency would handle the aftermath and claim more compensation. With the strength that Luo Xi had shown this time, as long as the Red Dragon was still around, who would dare not to pay up? Xia country time 10:50. In the night, a Red Dragon, now shrunken back to around ten meters in length, landed in a field and transformed back into a human form. Speaking softly, Ai Xue said, "Senior, isnt it a bit improper to go now? Your grandmother might already be asleep." "Its okay." Luo Xi shook his head, "Around this time, shes probably just finished listening to operas and is preparing to soak her feet." "Your grandmother stays up so late?" "Its a habit formed over many years." Shrugging, Luo Xi said, "Anyway, the old lady is quite robust. She can still sleep past nine the next day, so shes getting plenty of sleep." "Aina will go take a look!" Excited, Aina wanted to run toward the village. "Woof!" "Woof, woof, woof!" A continuous barrage of barking echoed along the road. Soon, all the dogs in the village had joined in the chorus. "Brother Luo Xi, there are dogs!" Quickly, the Little Wolf Girl came running back and hid behind Luo Xi, trembling all over. Luo Xi: "...." You are a wolf, why be afraid of dogs? There were still quite a few people on the streets in the village, and Luo Xi worried hed be seen by others if he walked back, so he had Florecia fly them over instead. Carried by Dragon Mama, each of them in turn, they landed in the backyard of a two-story split house that Luo Xi had pointed out. The lights in the kitchen on the first floor were still on. Standing outside the backyard door, Luo Xi hesitated, not daring to knock. If Ai Xue were her normal self... it might be possible to explain that the other few were her younger sisters or something. Now, all four of them were small. Ai Xue had already entered the very delicate stage, so now he was truly accompanied by four Little Lolitas. Apart from Florecia, who if not looking at her height, might seem more adult by her figure... [Note: Grandma - Let me see what my good grandson has brought back... 110, huh? My grandson is a kidnapper.] Thump, thump While Luo Xi was hesitating, Aina went up and knocked on the door several times. "Who is it?" An old persons voice, confused and somewhat frightened, came from inside the house. Whos knocking at the door in the yard? With no other choice, Luo Xi replied, "Grandma, its me." "Xiao Xi?" Sear?h the ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Inside the house, the sound of slippers tapping against the floor could be heard, and after a dozen seconds, a roughly sixty-year-old lady with graying hair opened the door. Upon seeing that it was indeed Luo Xi, she exclaimed in surprise, "Xiao Xi, why have you come back so late and without any notice? And why are you in the yard?" At that moment, the old lady noticed others standing in the yard. Peeking out from behind Luo Xi was an adorable little head. Aina blinked at the old lady but didnt dare to speak. Even though she had changed a lot recently because of Luo Xi, in this kind of situation, Aina was still somewhat shy. "Who is this?" the old lady asked, puzzled. "Hello, grandma." Ai Xue, pulling Weier with her, emerged from the darkness of the yard and bowed slightly to the old lady. Weier, imitating Ai Xue, also greeted with a "hello, grandma." "Ah? And who might you be?" Looking shocked, the old lady beheld the two beautiful but tiny girls. What beautiful girls C from which family do they come? Certainly, her grandson hadnt done something illegal, had he? Chapter 483 - 302 Loli Wives and Grandma, Female Ghost Text Transformation? (8.8k)_1 Chapter 483: Chapter 302 Loli Wives and Grandma, Female Ghost Text Transformation? (8.8k)_1Luo Xi brought Aina, who was hiding behind him, to stand in front of him. This wolf-eared lady had been excited about meeting his grandmother but now that she really did arrive, she became so timid, which reminded him of how she was when they first met. [Note: That adorable, soft, and easy-to-knock-down feeling?] Hmm? Isnt she still like that now... cough. Aina, who had gone further and further down the path of being a tsundere wolf-eared Lolita, truly couldnt be described as soft and easy to knock down anymore. When did this change start? Luo Xi thought for a moment. Was it after he successfully spoiled Ainas favorability to the point of deterioration? [Note: Yes, newcomer Traveler.] Climb over here. "Grandma, this childs name is Aina." Luo Xi pointed at Cat Cat and said to his grandmother, who seemed still confused, "This girl is Weier, Ainas sister. Both of them are... foreigners and cant speak the language of Xia country yet. This is Ai Xue, she is my junior in college, and this person... Hmm? Ressias mother, where are you?" The old woman: "???" Who is this grandson calling mother? And whats with this college junior? The old woman looked doubtfully at Ai Xue, who was almost as tall as Aina by now. This girl looks only about thirteen or fourteen, right? Seeing the old woman look over, Ai Xue sweetly smiled and said, "Hello, Grandma, Brother Luo Xi didnt make it clear. My sister is Brother Luo Xis junior in college." Only then did the old woman have a sudden realization. I was thinking, how could such a little girl be Xiao Xis junior in college? Luo Xi was slightly startled. However, he quickly realized why Ai Xue said that. Her current state fluctuated between that of a slender young woman and a flat-chested Lolita. If he told his grandmother that she was his college junior now, what was she during the day? Moreover, there might be times in the future when Ai Xue would come over during the day, so that could be tricky to handle. Luo Xi immediately corrected himself, "Yes, I misspoke. Its her sister who is my college junior. Her name is Ai Xin Yue, Ai Xues younger sister." The old womans brow furrowed, wanting to ask where her sister was then. "Cluck cluck cluck" Suddenly, a chorus of panicked clucking came from the chicken coop in the backyard. The old woman turned on the yard light curiously and saw a girl with hair as flowing and fiery as the flames of the night, holding a chicken and walking over. Red hair? Dyed? Hold on, is this white-haired girls hair also dyed? The old womans gaze lingered on Cat Cat for a moment, glancing over her flat chest, confirming her as another underage girl, and then turned to look at the approaching Florecia. The girls pretty face also seemed young, and she wasnt very tall, but those white, proud breasts almost spilled out of her dress, swaying with her walk. If this girl was also underage, one could only say that her development was indeed impressive. It felt as though they were all girls who hadnt fully grown up yet. The old womans gaze on Luo Xi grew even more suspicious. Luo Xi: "..." He certainly noticed his grandmothers gaze. But now was not the time for explanations. "Little Luo Xi, this is that chicken we encountered today," Florecia brought the hen over to Luo Xi and said, "Mother just injected some Yuan Su into it, and I didnt expect it would start showing signs of Mutation." Luo Xi: "?" He took the hen Florecia was holding. "Cluck cluck cluck" The hen struggled incessantly in Luo Xis hands. Luo Xi examined it a bit and soon noticed some of the hens feathers had fallen out, replaced by something that resembled scales. Was it due to the Yuan Su that Florecia injected? Luo Xi suddenly thought that if Origin Beasts really appeared in the real world, then considering the population density and various animals, if the Mutant Factor spread out, the consequences would be unimaginable. The apocalyptic scenes from those biohazard crises might not be impossible. Up until now, the Two Worlds couldnt truly connect precisely to protect Humanity, right? "Xiao Xi, what are you all doing?" The old woman was completely baffled. Was my grandson bringing back so many young girls just to play with the chickens at home? Luo Xi coughed and put the hen on the ground to let it run back to the coop. Theyd deal with this chicken before leaving. In any case, it couldnt stay here. Luo Xi entered the house and turned back, "Weier, Ai Xue, why dont you all come in and have a seat." Aina, Weier, Ai Xue, and Florecia entered the self-built rural house one after the other, following Luo Xi into the living room at the front door. The living room at the old home had already been renovated once, so it didnt look too shabby when guests came. Luo Xi asked everyone to sit down on chairs while he went to the kitchen to get some tea. The friendly old woman said to the four girls with a smile, "Hang tight for a bit, Granny will go get some snacks." Then, the old woman closed the living room door and headed straight for the kitchen. She needed to ask her good grandson what he meant by bringing back so many girls who looked blatantly underage this evening. If Luo Xi had brought back a normal female classmate or a girlfriend, she would have been overjoyed. S~ea??h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. She had even been pondering recently about calling Luo Xi back for a few arranged dates. Chapter 484 - 302 Loli wives and Grandma, Female Ghost Text Transformation? (8.8k)_2 Chapter 484: Chapter 302 Loli wives and Grandma, Female Ghost Text Transformation? (8.8k)_2I never expected Luo Xi to bring home girls himself, but each one looks younger than the last. Only the redhead girl looks more like a grown-up. Could it be that my grandson developed some strange preference during his time at university? The old person pondered until his face started to turn pale. If that sort of thing were discovered, theyd definitely be arrested and locked away for good! No, I must get to the bottom of this! In the living room. After the old person left, the Little Wolf Girl ran to Weiers side, her lips pursed as she said, "Sister Weier, Aina doesnt understand why, after seeing Brother Luo Xis grandma, she just couldnt speak anymore." Ai Xue, standing off to the side, really wanted to say she preferred the unruliness that Aina used to have, but she knew the anxiety in the hearts of both sisters and had no thoughts of deriding them. She was still hoping they would be of some use in the Dream World, hoping to prevent Brother Luo Xis harem from growing there. "Sister doesnt dare to speak much either." Weier said with a wry smile, picking up Aina and holding her in her arms. Just like Aina, although Weier also wanted to get to know Luo Xis grandma, she felt somewhat hesitant. After all, they couldnt even communicate properly due to the language barrier. Cat Cat watched Ai Xue with a touch of envy as she sat comfortably on a chair, taking photos with her phone, completely at ease. Is this the confidence of people who are originally from this world? However, another one didnt seem to have any sense of restraint either. Weier glanced over and her face instantly darkened; she turned her head away. Florecia placed her white paws on the living room table, cupping her delicate chin and her golden vertical pupils looking towards the door. Who is this Dragon Lady trying to impress? Just because shes big, does that make her impressive? Weier suddenly gently pinched Aina, who was in her arms. Aina: "???" What is Sister Weier doing? But as a good little sister, Aina didnt resist her sisters close contact; she just adjusted her position, letting Weier fondle her as she wished. Weier (ѩn) felt the soft touch from her hands. It seemed... Aina had grown a bit bigger these past few days. No wonder shes at the age where growth spurts happen, the rate of growth is indeed fast. In comparison, there seems to be no hope for me at all. I wish I could be half the size of Mom... "Meow~" In Cat Cats moment of despair, a soft cat meow sounded from outside the front door. Weier let go of Aina and turned her head to look outside, her pale red eyes lighting up slightly. Was that a cats voice? As a Mutant Patient with the Cat Clan Mutant Factor, she was naturally familiar with cats. Weier walked towards the door, gently pressed the doorknob, and opened the door. She looked in the direction of the sound. A small white cat stood on the wall, its deep green eyes locking with hers. Pale red and deep green, the eyes of different colors met, the girl and the cat gazing into each others for several moments. The little cat meowed softly. "Meow~" Weier hesitated for a moment. Then she meowed softly back. "Meow?~" The cat ears and tail that had been hidden by a concealment scroll suddenly popped out again. The little white cats body shook. How come this humans scent is a bit like their own clan? "Meow? (Who are you?)" The little cat called out again. Weier was taken aback. How could she understand what the cat was saying? There were always many stray cats on Grey Stone Street, but she had never heard intelligible language in their meows before. Wait a minute. Could it be because previously, she wasnt sufficiently affected by the Mutant Factor? Its possible, given she had only recently advanced to Second-tier Mutation. It is said that some people, once the factor infection in their bodies reaches a certain level, can indeed understand the language of animals from the same Category or lower tier Origin Beasts. Although those animals may not have high Intelligence, it doesnt mean they lack awareness. "Meow (Can you understand what Im saying?)" "Meow? (It seems I can?)" Ai Xue and Aina, hearing the noises, also came out from the living room, their faces full of confusion as they watched Cat Cat meowing back and forth with the little white cat in the corner. Ai Xue nudged Aina and whispered, "Whats wrong with your sister?" The Little Wolf Girl shook her head, "Aina doesnt know." Sister had never done anything this strange before. After exchanging friendly greetings with the little cat, Weier noticed that, although it could communicate with her, its Intelligence was not very high. Weier slowly walked over and gently picked up the cat into her arms. The little cat did not resist Weiers actions and obediently lay in the young girls embrace. Ai Xue remembered Luo Xi mentioning he had a cute little white cat back at his family home. Could this be that one? Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Luo Xi noticed the hot water seemed to be out, so he took the electric heating coil that had been used in their home for many years, now nearly covered in patina, placed it in the water jug, and plugged it in to heat up. Sarch* The ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. This device heated up pretty fast; it did the job in just a few minutes. Grandma shuffled in wearing slippers and asked in a hoarse voice, "Xiao Xi, did you do something you shouldnt have? Whats the deal with those girls?" Luo Xi turned around helplessly and replied, "Grandma, its like this. I recently switched to a new place of work, dealing with foreign trade. Weier, Aina, Ressia, m... theyre all foreigners, people I met through work." Chapter 485 - 302 Loli Wives and Grandma, Female Ghost Text Transformation? (8.8k)_3 Chapter 485: Chapter 302 Loli Wives and Grandma, Female Ghost Text Transformation? (8.8k)_3"I was on a business trip tonight, and I happened to pass by the national highway above our village. I thought I still had some time, and its been quite a while since I last visited, so I decided to stop by to see you. Were about to leave soon." "Huh?" Grandma deeply furrowed her brows. As an elder who had watched Luo Xi grow up since he was a child, she could tell at a glance that her darling grandson was definitely lying. "Xiao Xi, tell Grandma the truth." Luo Xi: "..." He thought the lie he had come up with was pretty decent. Why didnt Grandma believe him? After some contemplation, Luo Xi said, "Actually, Im currently a teacher at a school, and these are my students. Theres an event tomorrow that I need to take them to, and since I was driving by, I thought Id come to see you." Grandma didnt speak, seemingly weighing the truth of Luo Xis words. After a while, she looked at Luo Xi with confusion and asked, "A primary school teacher?" Luo Xi: "..." "Middle school," he said. If there was any sort of school that could fit Kitten Aina and Little Ai Xue without feeling out of place, it had to be primary school or around the first or second year of middle school. The elderly woman said skeptically, "A little over a month ago, you told me you were interning at a design company. How did you suddenly become a teacher?" Luo Xi blinked his eyes. This was bad. He really couldnt lie to his family. Grandmas expression turned stern, "I may be old, but Im not a fool. Tell me the truth, did you do something bad?" "emmmm..." After a minute of silence, Luo Xi decided to give up and spread his hands, saying: "Theyre all my friends." "Cough!" The old lady covered her mouth and coughed heavily several times. My dear grandson must have developed some peculiar tastes. You, a college student, making friends with so many little girls? It looks bad. If Luo Xi werent her grandson, shed have to report him to the village committee. As an elderly person who has lived through the hardships of life since the sixties and seventies, she couldnt stand such evil deeds and misconduct at all. After all, who would want their precious daughters to fall victim, right? Luo Xi immediately went over to gently pat Grandmas back. After the old lady stopped coughing, she said in a deep voice, "You havent done anything bad to them, have you?" "This... of course not. Theyre so young, and Im not a Loli-con," Luo Xi laughed. But as he laughed, he thought of Ai Xue, whom he had already seduced. However, Ai Xue probably didnt count. Actually, apart from Aina, the other three were all of legal age, especially Dragon Mama. With a grand age of 8,000 years in Dream World and 9,000 years in reality, she could easily be his ancestor a hundred generations back. Florecia, who was sitting in the living room holding her chin and daydreaming, suddenly sneezed. Grandma sharply noticed the unnatural expression on Luo Xis face. Her heart sank at once. Could it be that the worst had already happened? "How old are those kids?" "On average... above 18?" Grandma: "?" Who are you trying to fool? "Ah..." The old lady sighed long and said, "Xiao Xi, Grandma raised you from a young age, and I know your character the best. I understand you wouldnt bring girls home for no reason; they must be deeply related to you." Luo Xi listened quietly to Grandmas words. Trust Grandma to guess it right away. Grandma glanced toward the living room and whispered, "Tell Grandma the truth, did you... did their bellies get..." Luo Xi: "Absolutely not!" Although his encounters with Ai Xue had been unprotected and it was possible something could have happened, it wouldnt be so fast, right? And Ai Xue had mentioned that his "stuff" had effects similar to Dragon Mamas blood, like enhancing ones physique, so maybe it was all absorbed cleanly. Grandma continued in a low voice, "Dont lie to Grandma. You are my grandson, and Im not going to call the police. I just want to know the truth and help you find a solution." Actually, the old lady felt quite a headache now. If it were just one girl, it would be different, but four were sitting in the living room! Moreover, those girls seemed to get along quite well. When did her grandson get so capable? Its just that this ability wasnt being used in the right way. Finding ten women and being a Scumbag would still be better than being involved with an underage girl! The former would only be morally condemned, but the latter... Luo Xi fell silent again. It seemed he had outsmarted himself. Grandma simply didnt believe him and was becoming more and more worried about him. S~ea??h the novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. After thinking for a moment, Luo Xi decided to reveal some things to Grandma. The public unveiling of "Dawn" was inevitable. So, letting the old lady know a little wouldnt hurt. As long as he didnt divulge the dangers he had encountered, it should be fine. "Grandma, let me tell you something, but dont be scared." Grandma immediately said, "Tell me, I wont be scared, even if all four girls were" She stopped mid-sentence, her somewhat cloudy eyes looking at Luo Xi, her voice hoarse, "Theyre not really all..." If it really was what she feared, her grandson would be a true bustard. If she didnt report him to get arrested and locked up, she would feel as if she had betrayed her lifelong principles. Luo Xi couldnt help but give a wry smile and said, "Grandma, what are you thinking? Its like this, you see." Chapter 486 - 302 Loli Wives and Grandma, Female Ghost Text Transformation? (8.8k)_4 Chapter 486: Chapter 302 Loli Wives and Grandma, Female Ghost Text Transformation? (8.8k)_4Pop! Luo Xi snapped his fingers lightly. A bright red flame appeared on his thumb, radiating intense heat. sea??h th ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The old man was startled, "This fire? Magic?" "This is not magic." After thinking for a moment, Luo Xi tossed the flame into the water in the kitchen sink. In an instant, as the high-heat flame made contact with the water, copious amounts of steam rushed out. He opened the back door of the kitchen, allowing the steam to escape. The grandmother stood there, dumbfounded, her face a picture of confusion. Is this magic? It didnt seem quite right. Luo Xi felt it might still not be enough, so he took the Snowy Silver Wolf out of his Dreamland bag and swung it towards the sky in the backyard. Instantly, a ray of light in the shape of a silver wolf soared into the air along with the swords glow, emitting a rather piercing sound in the air. Then Luo Xi inserted the sword directly into the cement ground below him, turned to his grandmother with a smile, and said, "Grandma, your grandson is now working for a special agency for the country, and these are the abilities that Ive gained from it. Those girls outside may look young, but except for Aina, all of them are over 18." "What department is this? And what in the world is going on?" The old man was utterly bewildered. She felt her brain couldnt keep up. "Let someone else explain it to you later." Luo Xi figured that the people lurking around his house must have sensed something was off by now and would probably be rushing in. "Ah!" "Who are you?!" "Enemy attack, backup! Requesting backup!" Suddenly, a few screams and cries for help came from the living room. Luo Xi: "?" Pop! "Freeze." In a world of ashen gray and frozen time, he opened the living room door at top speed and ran outside, then he saw several people being pinned down by Dragon Mama from thin air. Luo Xi: "..." He had forgotten to inform the Travel Bureau when he arrived, and he had not mentioned it to Cat Cat and the others earlier. Thankfully, Florecia had not intended to deal lethal blows, only immobilizing them on the spot. Three seconds passed. As time resumed its flow, Florecia also suddenly realized there was someone new beside her. She extended her hand, ready to claw over, but found that the newcomer was Luo Xi himself. Dragon Mama lowered her hand and said, "Little Luo Xi, these people were sneaking around; theyre obviously up to no good." "Whos sneaking around? Wait, are you Mr. Luo Xi?" On the ground, a young man in plain clothes looked up at Luo Xi excitedly, "Luo Xi, big bro, Im a fan of yours! You were so cool beating those bastards today. Ah, was that sword aura you released just now? Sorry, if we had known it was you taking action, we wouldnt have caused such a misunderstanding." "Ressia, let them go." Luo Xi walked over, helped the young man to his feet, and with apologies in his eyes, said, "I should be the one apologizing. I wanted to call you over in this way, but I forgot to explain in advance to my companions." "Hmm? You called us here on purpose? Do you have something you need?" The young man was taken aback. Luo Xis grandmother emerged from the living room at this moment. Luo Xi whispered, "Go explain to my grandmother, tell her Im currently working for the country, and you can disclose a bit of Transcendence-related information, but dont let her hear about my other activities." The young man nodded repeatedly. He understood. The young man and several other Travel Bureau workers whispered among themselves, pulled out their official IDs and work clothes from their backpacks, and went to communicate with the old lady they had long protected. About ten minutes later, the young man indicated to Luo Xi that he had made everything clear and even gave Luo Xi a knowing wink. After expressing his gratitude, Luo Xi watched as the man and his colleagues left, not clinging to the celebrity encounter. Inside the living room. It took a while for the old woman to collect herself from everything the young man had said. She looked at Luo Xi with pride in her eyes. The young man had shown her many credentials to prove his identity, and he told her that Luo Xi had joined a well-compensated secret operational department, dealing with matters beyond the understanding of ordinary people. However, she neednt worry, as Luo Xi was merely logistics staff tasked with lighter work that posed no danger, and he would receive a generous monthly bonus. She didnt have to worry about those girls either. The young man said that with the recent accomplishments of her grandsons work, even if he had done something wrong, he wouldnt face any punishment. Moreover, as Luo Xi said, the girls were indeed all adults. What else was there for her to worry about? "You all take a seat, the tea is ready; Ill go get the kettle." After the grandmother left, Luo Xi also seated himself on a stool, then felt something heavy land on his back. "Meow~" An affectionate cats cry. "Its Xiao Bai." Luo Xi smiled, lifted the cat that had jumped onto his back, and placed it in front of him, stroking its head a few times. Luo Xi had raised it from a kitten, so they were very close, and it would even leave half of its mice catches for Luo Xi back when it hunted them. The cat was now seven years old, which was middle-aged for a cat. Weier came beside Luo Xi and said softly, "You really do love cats, dont you?" Chapter 487 - 302 Loli Wives and Grandma, Female Ghost Text Transformation? (8.8k)_5 Chapter 487: Chapter 302 Loli Wives and Grandma, Female Ghost Text Transformation? (8.8k)_5In communicating with this little cat, Weier learned that the little cat really liked its owner, constantly saying how good the owner was to her, except that the owner often took a very long time to return, leaving her feeling very lonely. sea??h th n?vel_Fire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Yeah." Luo Xi looked up at Cat Cat, taken aback, "Cat Cat, how come your mutation trait is showing?" "Ah?" Weier reached behind to touch. "Stop touching, the scroll cant completely hide the mutation trait anymore." Luo Xi helplessly said, "Probably the scrolls duration has run out." The scrolls that had been procured from Liyana had all been almost used up over this period, whether they were attack type or functional. Luo Xi had no extra scrolls at the moment. He himself was relying on the badge he got from that bar owner to hide his Dragon Horn and Dragon Tail. "Then never mind, after the travel agency staff explained, Grandma should be able to accept it..." Dada dada As footsteps approached, the elder pushed the door open, placed the kettle on the table, and said with a kind smile, "Xiao Xi, come pour the tea, and take the opportunity to introduce these girls to Grandma again." Luo Xi: "..." Did that young man say something unnecessary to my grandma again? He pointed to the cat by his side and said, "This is Cat Cat... hiss, this is Weier, and this is Aina, they are sisters." "This is Ai Xue...s little sister; her sister is my junior." Grandma smiled warmly at the girls. Then she felt like her vision was getting blurry. The elder rubbed her eyes, staring at the pair of cat ears on the white-haired girls head. Were those things there before? "Wheres Mom?" Florecia looked at Luo Xi with dissatisfaction. Luo Xi thought if I introduce you as my mom, my grandma might really think I have some weird fetish. He took a deep breath and went for it, "This is Florecia, shes my... mother." Grandma: "..." She just wanted to say my grandson really knows how to play. She heard that many young couples these days use this kind of role-playing to spice things up, and didnt expect her grandson to be among them. The more the elder looked at the girls, the more she felt they were all very beautiful. They were a little small, but as they were all of age, it could only be said they were petite in stature. Grandma, laughing happily, said, "Xiao Xi, no need to hide it anymore. That person told me, they are all your girlfriends, and since you have made great contributions to the country, its fine if you marry all four at once, and even if they are really... quite young, its fine." Luo Xi: "???" What on earth did that young man tell my grandma? Outside the old house, the young man laying on a tree for a nap, smoking a cigarette, gazed up at the moonlit sky, keeping a low profile. He was pleased to have met an influencer from a live stream today and confirmed that Luo Xi was indeed a Loli-con. All those cute little Lolitas beside him. The young man took out his phone, logged into the forum, and posted a message using the account Argo. [Argo: Does anyone have an effective method for quickly picking up cute beast-ear little Lolitas? I want to follow in the footsteps of my idol, the Black Death God!] [Im not a stockings fanatic: Reject the aesthetic of youthfulness, start with mobile and telecom] [Bear King: Bro, the Black Death God is indeed awesome, but youre not supposed to learn his xp, are you?] [Heart of the Deep Sea: You might bring some tasty snacks to the outskirts of those big cities, the slum areas, and if youre handsome enough, maybe you can lure one or two back, but I suggest we shouldnt take advantage of them, its okay if you just want a pet or something, but going any further would make you a scumbag] [Argo: All I want is to try it out. My idol is so powerful because that Red Dragon Lady contributes nine-tenths of it. If I could bring someone from the Dream world here in the future, then...] [Bear King: That makes sense, but shouldnt you be looking for a high-tier Origin Beast that can transform?] [White Dragon Gore: Youre dreaming too big. High-tier Origin Beasts arent that easy to woo. They would probably crush you with one foot rather than let you seduce them.] [Shennong: Im going to try it first, there seems to be a king-tier big tiger-like Origin Beast near me, if I could ride it...] [Sensei: After you successfully woo it, and the tiger turns human, what if it turns out to be a guy?] [Shennong: Wouldnt that be even better?] [sensei: ?] [White: 6.] ... Luo Xi had no idea what those die-hard gamers on the forum were thinking. Right now, he was made somewhat numb by his grandmothers enthusiasm for Cat Cat and the others. It was brown sugar chicken egg tea again. And big red envelopes. All four of them had one. Ai Xue said she was taking it for her sister, who would come over next time, and then Granny happily gave her a new red envelope. Weier and Aina couldnt directly communicate with Granny; they could only keep nodding and had Luo Xi convey the meaning of their words. Florecia finished her egg tea and put the cup aside. She had a good impression of the food in this world, but the portions were too smallit was only enough to taste, nowhere near enough to eat. After interacting with Ai Xue and Wei Er Ainuo, the elderly lady finally turned to Florecia, who had the most indifferent expression and hadnt shown any emotional changes since she came in. With her many years of experience, she could tell that this girl had been through many storms, and if only one of the girls present were an adult, it would definitely be her. Moreover... so big. Such a figure compared to the other three tiny ones made her seem more suitable for childbirth. As for the mother and son game she played with her grandson, the old lady didnt take it too seriously. Even though it sounded outrageous, as long as there was love, it was a game that both sides would enjoy. Thirty minutes later. Luo Xi said he had to leave as there were still tasks to be done, and Granny let him go reluctantly. This time, however, Luo Xi took the familys little white cat and the hen that had been influenced by Dragon Mama. Weier said Xiao Bai missed him a lot, and if he didnt take Xiao Bai with him this time, Xiao Bai would be very sad. Luo Xi didnt know how Cat Cat could understand Xiao Bai, but he didnt mind taking away the cat he had raised, especially since there was plenty of space to stay in Haicheng. Nearing midnight, Florecia transformed back into a dragon in the night and sped off towards Haicheng with Luo Xi and the others. ... Haicheng Travel Agency. The already returned Jiao Qian and others from Nine Swords were also celebrating. The successes Luo Xi brought back this time were too significant, and he gave those who harbored ill intentions a heavy blow. As long as Luo Xi was stationed in Haicheng, aside from some reckless people, there probably wouldnt be any more attacks like before. The infamy of the Black Death God was well established. "Nine Swords, has he come back yet?" "Not yet, but someone reported he returned to his hometown." "Taking those young girls to meet the family?" "Haha, sounds like he might get his legs broken." Boom! A loud crash echoed from outside the park. Nine Swords and Jiao Qian immediately got up and ran out. In the end, at the source of the sound, they only found a crater. As for the meteorite itself, they searched the surrounding area thoroughly but couldnt find it anywhere. On the roof of Luo Xis villa. A tiny figure sat beside the eaves. It was a young girl with pink hair, swinging her tender little feet in the wind, her eyes reflecting the stars as she gazed at the profound night sky. "Finally found a material that can accommodate my arrival, huh." As the guy riding the dragon approached in the night sky, the girl turned into dazzling starlight and light spots, completely vanishing from sight. "Cant let that Trash Fish Traveler know I can come down..." Chapter 488 - 303 Lolita harem starts a fire, everyone wants to be the formal wife (6.2k) (6k)_1 Chapter 488: Chapter 303 Lolita harem starts a fire, everyone wants to be the formal wife (6.2k) (6k)_1When Luo Xi and others returned to Haicheng, it was already 11 oclock. The flight of Florecia didnt make a sound; since they didnt use cognitive shielding, their presence was detected by the people of the park area as they approached. One by one, the group jumped down from Florecias back and landed on the lawn of the villa courtyard, after which Ai Xue received a text message on her phone. "-[Luo Xi, Consultant, welcome back. Would you please come to the third floor of the park cafeteria later? Director Jiao Qian]" "Senior brother, Director Jiao Qian has invited us to the third floor of the cafeteria," Ai Xue said, shaking her phone. "Hmm, lets go and check it out." Luo Xi had no intention of putting on airs; he was very grateful for the support of Xia countrys Travel Bureau today, and the more than thirty thousand catties of Essence Crystals had thoroughly clarified Xia countrys attitude towards him. Minister Zhao Mucang from the Travel Bureau headquarters didnt even mention the Essence Crystals consumed today when communicating with him. Even though they hadnt been able to help in the battle, he knew that many Transcendents from Xia country were already rallying near the island at that time, but the cunning enemies had moved the second location hundreds of kilometers away. Upon careful consideration, the elaborate scheme to hunt him today could have only been pulled off by a collaboration of several major countries. They first kidnapped his classmates and relatives, lured him to a specific location, and then used the hostages to force him to move with them. Such an item that allowed for an epic distance teleportation was something Luo Xi had requested from the high-ranking people, but they said it was a one-time, epic-tier, large-scale teleportation scroll that would cease to exist after use. Counting that scroll, the Sacred Boundary of Tila, and the black book. Three epic-tier items in total. Luo Xi couldnt help but laugh. They really did think highly of him. The real black hand behind this hunt, did they feel like they tried to steal a chicken only to lose the rice? Third floor of the park cafeteria. Following the incident involving The Dark Void Tree, the countries had dispersed the gathered players to avoid a repeat of being wiped out all at once, so this park area in Haicheng no longer had many people, and the first and second floors of the cafeteria had lost their purpose. However, the third-floor restaurant was still in use. Inside the private room, only Director Jiao Qian and Nine Swords were seated at the large round table laden with various delicacies. Director Jiao Qian looked somewhat tired, rubbing his temples. He too had followed along today and, after coming up empty-handed, took a flight directly back from Xilan Country with Nine Swords in order to get back to Haicheng earlier to handle affairs. This allowed him to return to Haicheng by eleven oclock. The rest of the people, including Luo Xis hostages, came back on a ship. After a day of running around and expending physical and mental energy, he was indeed a bit tired. But the achievements of Luo Xi today made him want to laugh out loud even with his eyes closed. Would those arrogant fellows soften up? No, would they be scared? Director Jiao Qian knew that they were fearful of the king-level Red Dragon that could manifest in the real world. Its unmatched mobility and world-destroying strength, once combined, were akin to a major bug for the current world. Who would dare not to concede? Even the most recalcitrant would have to bow their heads and swallow their broken teeth. And such an existence was a mount of a Xia country player, and even a closer relationship was not out of question. Exciting! Director Jiao Qian only wanted to ask, who else could compete? A king-level dragon, oh, one wonders when humanity in this world will have its own Tier Five Transcendent. But since they havent yet seen a proper Tier Four Transcendent, it seems a bit too far off to ponder. Ta ta da da S~ea??h the N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Footsteps sounded outside the private room, stirring both Director Jiao Qian and Nine Swords. Squeak Luo Xi was the first to push the door open and enter. Close on his heels was the red-haired Dragon Horn girl who had attracted their considerable attention. She was the incarnation of the Red Dragon. Then came the two beast-eared Lolitas with cat and wolf ears, who seemed to serve no purpose other than being cute, and Ai Xue, whom they all recognized. Ai Xue now... Director Jiao Qian glanced at her and thought to himself, so youthful. A radiant girl during the day, a cute Lolita at night, and it seemed her body continuously changed over time. This quality indeed hit certain peoples sexual inclination quite hard. Together with the other three beast-girl Lolitas from the Dream world. There was an inexplicable feeling of a primary school teacher leading students on a field trip. Director Jiao Qian got up and said, "Come here and sit. Everyones worked hard today. Also, Luo Xi, your friends and mother, as well as Ai Xues cousin, are on the returning ship. They will be sent back as quickly as possible." "Thanks," Luo Xi replied. Luo Xi led Weier and the others to their seats. However, due to the nature of the round table, after Dragon Mama assertively took the position on Luo Xis left, the spot on his right became the target of the remaining three. After a series of subtle struggles, with Weiers restraint, Aina successfully took the place to Luo Xis right, happily swinging her Big Tail while clutching his arm. Director Jiao Qian and Nine Swords looked on, their mouths twitching crazily. Quite a scene. A harem drama, but the Lolita edition. One wonders how the strongest Dreamland Traveler of Xia country managed to run such a kindergarten. After Florecia took her seat, she glanced at the variety of foods on the round table, grabbed a roast chicken with her hand, and stuffed it into her mouth. "Wait, that needs to be torn open..." Chapter 489 - 303: Lolita’s harem on fire, everybody wants to be the formal wife (6.2k) (6k)_2 Chapter 489: Chapter 303: Lolitas harem on fire, everybody wants to be the formal wife (6.2k) (6k)_2Jiao Qian hadnt finished speaking when he witnessed the girls mouth and stomach, like another dimension, easily accommodated the whole roasted chicken, which she swallowed in one gulp. "..." Thats outrageous... oh, shes a dragon, never mind. Not looking at the dragon horned girls wild eating manner, Jiao Qian turned towards Luo Xi, smiling, "Are you hurt, do you need any healing items?" Luo Xi shook his head, indicating it was unnecessary. How could any healing item be more useful than Dragon Mamas body fluid? It can bring back the dead and mend bones, after all. [Note: Trash Traveler, actually your body fluid can not only enhance strength but also be used for healing~] Luo Xi: "..." Damn Text, come out here, let me give you some proper treatment. [Note: Ah-ya! ()! Such a thing is not okay, if the Trash Traveler injects the healing factor, our divine life will be over] What the hell is this healing factor?! Jiu Jian exchanged a glance with Jiao Qian and spoke gravely, "Luo Xi, how is the condition of your body now, I mean the infection of the Mutant Factor... how is it?" Even though Luo Xi had achieved great exploits this time, The Mutant characteristics on his body were becoming increasingly apparent. The artfully crafted crimson-black Dragon Horn, and that one-meter-long Dragon Tail on his back. All of these indicated that Luo Xis infection with the Mutant Factor was deepening. In reality, some players who pursued the Mutated path had already mutated into Origin Beasts. Most of those human-turned-Origin Beasts had lost their human nature and became true beasts, causing a lot of trouble locally. Luo Xi, sipping on a cola, unconsciously swayed his Dragon Tail, saying, "I feel pretty good." Jiao Qian: "But your Mutant characteristics..." "I know what you are worried about," Luo Xi raised his hand to interrupt Jiao Qian, speaking seriously, "But Im aware of what Im doing, and even if I did become a Dragon Origin Beast, Im still a person of Xia country, I will never forget my roots." Jiao Qian paused momentarily, somewhat moved by Luo Xis words. "I know youre confident." However, Jiu Jian frowned and said, "But there have already been eleven cases of Mutated Transcenders who completely became Origin Beasts after advancing in Tier, all of them losing their memories as humans, and were preparing to advise future players to avoid the Mutated path as much as possible, the end of that road is really..." Florecia slowly raised her head, her voice cold, "My childs bloodline factor is not a scourge. His path doesnt need your meddling. Just because you cant make it, doesnt mean my child cant. Little Luo Xi, dont you think?" Jiao Qian: "..." Jiu Jian: "..." Why is this Red Dragon Lady, who everyone else thought was Luo Xis mount, calling Luo Xi child? Under the gaze of Dragon Mamas golden-red vertical pupils, Luo Xi could only reluctantly nod and reply: "Yes, Ressia Mama." With the blessing given by Green Dragon Isla, they had some idea about their path to Sublimation; even if they could not resist the Mutation with the power of Sublimation, Luo Xi believed the Damn Text wouldnt let him become a mindless Origin Beast. Then who would work for It? [Note: Ive said it before, I dont care what the garbage Traveler becomes~ Human or dragon, its the soul I recognize~ Besides, wouldnt it be better to turn into a dragon and then transform back into a cute little Dragon Lady? Scram! Luo Xi already had a pretty good understanding of the Damn Texts lousy character. Its the typical example of enjoying the spectacle without worrying about the consequences. If he had a wish-granting device right now, Luo Xi would definitely wish for the Damn Text to turn into a delicate girl, then educate her harshly. "Little Luo Xi is the best~" Dragon Mama affectionately stroked Luo Xis head. For a mother, theres no greater joy than the affirmation and support of her child. She had been worried that Luo Xi would abandon her bloodline factor, but after affirming multiple times that he wouldnt leave her behind, Florecia had gradually become more at ease. Even if it might have been a lie, That was still her childs way of showing care, wasnt it? Jiao Qian and Jiu Jian exchanged strange looks, they were starting to understand. Luo Xi had taken a dragon as a mother! Do Mutated Transcenders even do that sort of thing? Thats quite an eye-opener. Since Luo Xi was so confident, Jiao Qian also found no better advice to give and thus gave up on continuing the inquiry. "Theres another thing," Jiao Qian whispered, "Is your method of bringing people out of the Dream World something that can be popularized?" Luo Xi shook his head, "It is unique to me." The Cradle and the Nest were his alone, and unless someone else had a similar item, it was impossible to bring beings from there over to this side. "Alright then." After receiving a satisfactory reply, Jiao Qian did not press further. It was fine that others did not have it, as long as the people from Xia country did. For sure, Luo Xi must be hiding many secrets. But they also knew that those were not things to ask about. Unless Luo Xi voluntarily chose to share them. Standing up, Jiao Qian said, "Then you guys continue your late-night feast here. Jiu Jian and I need to go back to work; looks like well have to work overtime again for the next couple of days, preparing for the small update the day after tomorrow." "Youve worked hard," Luo Xi said. "Youve worked hard too." Jiao Qians gaze swept across the several Lolitas seated next to Luo Xi.

Chapter 490 - 303: Lolita Harem on Fire, Everyone Wants to Be the Formal Wife (6.2k) (6k)_3 Chapter 490: Chapter 303: Lolita Harem on Fire, Everyone Wants to Be the Formal Wife (6.2k) (6k)_3Indeed, it was quite arduous. [1 hour 15 minutes 30 seconds] The time provided by the Cradle for today was already running short. Villa. Upon entering the door, a gentle meow and a purring sound could be heard. "Xiao Bai, sorry to keep you waiting." Luo Xi turned on the light and bent down to pet Xiao Bai at his feet. Earlier, after coming down, he had thrown Xiao Bai and that chicken into the villa, then went off with Weier and the others. "Meow~" The kitten rubbed against Luo Xis shoes, its call containing a trace of grievance. It thought it could go out and play with its master. But to its surprise, it almost died of fright in the sky just before, then was thrown into a large dark room upon coming down. Aina quietly squatted down, suddenly picked up the cat, and asked: "Brother Luo Xi, is this cat male or female?" "Xiao Bai is a female cat." Luo Xi laughed, "Xiao Bai is one I initially brought over from a high school friend. Her breed seems to be a lion cat, see her fluffy fur, doesnt it look quite like a lion?" Aina asked curiously, "Whats a lion?" Luo Xi: "It is... a large feline animal, the kind thats much larger in size." Aina pondered and said, "Then, is sister a small feline animal?" Weier: "???" Silly Aina, are you once again speaking disrespectfully to your sister! Luo Xi shared the sentiment, "Indeed, Cat Cat is quite small." "You two are going to be the death of me!" Weier stamped her foot a few times and, ignoring the echoing agreement of Luo Xi and her sister, trotted upstairs. She had been here before, so she was familiar with the layout of this villa. Florecia also followed Weier upstairs with some curiosity. This is where Little Luoxi often stays these days? Ai Xue asked from the side, "Senior, what is Weier doing upstairs?" "Dont know." Luo Xi shrugged his shoulders, glanced towards the restaurant area, and noticed that the hen was hiding under the dining table, trembling. Several spots of chicken droppings were already on the tiles. Tomorrow, Ill get a basketball and see if this hen, affected by Dragon Mama, could learn to play basketball. If it cant... then its time to up the meals. After throwing the hen into the yard outside, Luo Xi also took Aina and Ai Xue upstairs. The lights upstairs had all been turned on, and the door to his room was open. Not sure what Cat Cat and Dragon Mama are doing inside. Luo Xi didnt feel any nervousness; anyway, there was nothing inside that could lead to his Social Death. However, when Luo Xi entered, he found that both were not there. So, next door? He left the room to search for them while outside, Aina, entering the room, twitched her nose slightly. Like a true wolf, she pounced on the bed to sniff, smelled the scent on the quilt, and then turned her golden tea-colored eyes on Ai Xue: "Bad woman, youre the one who ate up Brother Luo Xi not long ago, arent you?! That strange mixed scent hasnt disappeared for long!" Ai Xue: "..." This Wolf Eared Lolitas nose is really as keen as a dogs. It was nearing midnight, and Ai Xue, now shrunk to almost Ainas size, stretched lazily as she entered the room. She looked intrigued at the puff-cheeked Aina and the fluffy big tail behind her. Too bad there wasnt much time left. Otherwise, shed also like to try what it feels like to sleep cuddling a fluffy tail. Ai Xue lay back on the bed and said with a light laugh, "Yes, what about it? Want me to give back the senior I ate?" "How can you give him back?!" Aina disdainfully wiped her nose, the scent belonging to Ai Xue on the bed was still very strong. Sarch* The n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Ai Xue turned on her side, smiling, "Whats done is done. Instead of being angry with me, better think about how to make your sister more outspoken?" Aina paused, a little disheartened, "Weier sister is useless, Aina thinks theres no saving her." "Um..." Ai Xue wanted to say, is it really okay for you to talk about your sister like this? The Little Wolf Girl, biting her finger, looked towards the next room, her cheeks turning red, "If it really doesnt work out, then Aina will just do it herself, after all, Im also close to growing up..." "Not allowed!" "Why not? Aina thinks its okay!" "Under fourteen years of age, even if its by force, its not okay!" Aina blinked and said, "But in this world, Im already fourteen, right? Does that mean I can marry Brother now?" Ai Xue, speechless, said, "Thats just the bare minimum! You Wolf Eared Lolita with nothing but saucy thoughts, and marriage? Thats even more out of the question. Here, youre not even of legal marrying age until youre 18!" The Little Wolf Girl was instantly filled with despair. So, Weier sister is not okay either? Curse it, this bad woman, taking advantage of being older and closer to Brother Luo Xi, has too much of an upper hand; am I just supposed to watch as Brother Luo Xi is slowly devoured by her? Ai Xue, seeing the sad expression on Ainas face, felt a little pity. She sat up, pulled Aina over, and said, "Ive said that I dont want to monopolize the senior. If you really can do it, go ahead and snatch the senior right now and do that something, I wont say a word." But that was impossible. Senior was a Loli-con but still had a moral baseline. Aina evidently realized this too. Brother Luo Xi would usually just touch her tail and ears, hed never really done anything else. At that moment, from the wall where the television was located, a Cat Cat head poked through. Chapter 491 - 303 Lolita harem starts a fire, everyone wants to be the formal wife (6.2k) (6k)_4 Chapter 491: Chapter 303 Lolita harem starts a fire, everyone wants to be the formal wife (6.2k) (6k)_4In the ripples created on the wall, Weier stepped out and said, "Aina, go check out the room next door. How about we choose that one? The bed we used before is still over there." "Choose a room?" Ai Xue was startled. Werent they leaving soon? Why were they still choosing a room? It seemed Weier saw through Ai Xues thoughts and chuckled, "Its not like we cant come back. If we come late in the future, we will always stay overnight here, right?" "Yes, yes, Weier sister is right!" Aina nodded repeatedly and got up to run over. In that case, they would have a temporary residence here. Ai Xue smiled slightly and said, "Then come over to play often in the future." For some reason, although these two were her love rivals, the resistance she felt towards them was diminishing more and more. Such good girls are really rare. The senior Brother Luo Xi must have stepped in some unbelievable luck to have picked up this pair of sisters. As Ai Xue pondered, she wondered if she could get one to hold as a pillow when they came over to stay the night in the future. Hehe~ Thinking about it like that also felt quite nice. Cat Cat, puzzled, looked at Ai Xue, who seemed to become foolish, and held her sisters hand, using her ability to pass through the wall into the next room. Florecia and Luo Xi were both cleaning the room on this side. Her bed was also here, and the quilts and pillowcases on it were still the same set they left behind. Without needing Aina to smell, she could already detect Luo Xis strong sweat scent on it; this guy had stealthily slept on this bed countless times. "All set." Luo Xi closed the wardrobe. These rooms were originally clean and ready for someone to move in immediately. Luo Xi said, "From now on, this will be your room, Cat Cat. Aina, do you want to choose a new room, or will you stay with your sister?" Little Wolf Girl immediately said, "Of course together." Aina had scarcely ever slept away from Weier since she was young; without seeing her sister beside her, she could not fall asleep peacefully. Ai Xues voice came from outside the door, "Why dont you choose a room too, Aina?" Aina asked with confusion, "Why?" "Come over here, let me tell you." Ai Xue came over, took Ainas hand, and led her outside. The two both had long black hair and were now of a similar height. Luo Xi even felt they looked more like sisters than Weier and Aina did. Ai Xue said earnestly, "Think about it, if your brother wants to do something to deepen his feelings with your sister in the future, if you are there, how embarrassing that would be." Aina tilted her head and said, "Thats not going to happen, Aina and sister have never been apart, even if Aina watches, its okay." "How can you watch that!" "Why cant I watch?" "Anyway, you just cant watch! Youre still so young, wait until youre older!" "Aina is already grown up!" "Never mind... as long as youre happy." Ai Xue felt exhausted at heart. She could no longer tell if Brother Luo Xi had developed a liking for this Wolf Eared Lolita. Or if he had been entangled by her. At the age of 14, which would barely be mid-school age here, kids should behave like kids. Why were they constantly thinking about strange things? "Hehehe, just kidding." Aina stuck out her tongue and smiled, "Aina understands, even if Aina doesnt mind, Weier sister would be embarrassed, so when the time comes, Aina will just sleep in brothers room." "With brothers scent to accompany Aina, Aina wont feel so lonely at least." Ai Xue suddenly fell silent. She wanted to take back what she had thought earlier. This child, so sensibly heart-wrenching. Ai Xue said softly, "Aina, how about I become your sister too?" Without a second thought, Little Wolf Girl said, "No way, Aina only has one sister." "Thats not up to you." Ai Xue said with a proud smile, "Sooner or later, youll call me sister." Aina: "Why?" "Unless you dont want to marry your brother." "Isnt that inevitable?" "I will marry your brother too." sea??h th N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Humph, showing off?" "Of course not. If nothing goes wrong, Ill be marrying your brother before you do." "Wuwu..." "So calling me sister is perfectly normal, right?" Then, Luo Xi in the other room saw Aina, who had run over with tears streaming down her face, leap into his arms and said with tearful eyes: "Brother Luo Xi, can you marry Aina first?" Luo Xi: "???" He looked baffled at Ai Xue, who was snickering by the door. What had happened? [Note: The harem of the garbage Traveler is on fire, everyone wants to be the Formal Wife~] ----- Thats 6k for today. Counting this month, Ive already written 9,000-word Chapters for 10 days. There is a total of 15 additional Chapters due, so Im short of 9,000-word Chapters for 5 days. I cant write anymore, Im sorry. I have another exam on the 21st of next month, so these days Ive been doing exam papers during the day and writing until one or two at night. Im a bit tired. For the next few days, if I can write 9,000 words I will, if not then 6,000. The deficit of words will be made up after the 21st of next month. Chapter 496 - 305 Ina’s Mother, Luo Xi’s Father, Gained a Daughter?_1 Chapter 496: Chapter 305 Inas Mother, Luo Xis Father, Gained a Daughter?_1Reward? Luo Xi frowned, glancing at the petite girl lying at the center of the meteorite, his mind filled with all kinds of critique points. Is this kind of reward damn not right at all! Its not like those anime tailored for Otakus in real life, where the hell did this heaven-sent Lolita girl come from? Oh, you say this is the Dream world... but even in the Dream world it shouldnt be possible! Damn Text, where did you kidnap such a small girl from, hurry up and send her back! This is criminal behavior! (p)Annoyed! In his mind, Luo Xi wildly ridiculed that Dog Text, which was never serious in its dealings. It was one thing not to be serious on a normal day, but what the hell was it doing sending over this little girl for no good reason. [Note: Dont smear me, this Lolita isnt one Ive kidnapped, I dont know anything! ()!] Who believes that! And Ai Cao come out! Weier asked softly, "Luo Xi, why is this girl inside the meteorite?" Cat Cat didnt know the origins of the child, but her instincts told her that it absolutely had something to do with Luo Xi, the pervert. Luo Xi shook his head indicating he was also clueless. Who among his family knew. He suspected it was some conspiracy that Damn Text was planning! Ina also twitched her nose. She tried to sniff the scent of the girl in front. However, to Inas surprise, even though the girl was right there lying in the meteorite, she couldnt smell anything about her, as if there was a barrier added. About a minute later. Under the three peoples gaze, the girls body trembled slightly. She slowly raised her head, lifting a face creamy white and delicate, her pink-white dress clinging to her body, outlining her slim lines, her cherry-blossom-like radiant pink hair like tassels, cascading on the ground within the meteorite. And that ahoge, about more than ten centimeters long, was particularly eye-catching. Then, after the girls long eyelashes quivered several times, she finally managed to open her eyes with difficulty. A pair of pale blue pupils that seemed to contain dazzling stars twinkled within them. Luo Xi, Weier, and Ina all lost focus for a moment and then came back to their senses. This girl, something was very wrong with her! As Luo Xi pondered her identity, the girls creamy white, beautiful face showed a pained expression, she hugged her head with both hands, her body shaking violently, the light in her eyes slowly fading, becoming hollow and confused. "Whats the matter? Are you okay?" Weier stepped forward to check on her, but Luo Xi pulled her back. "Wait." Luo Xi shook his head to Cat Cat, indicating, "This meteorite serves to protect her." S~ea??h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. In Luo Xis view, the text gave out some information about this meteorite. [Unknown Meteorite] [Quality: Gold (Legend)] [Category: Special Material] [Attributes: It is the crystallized form of a dead star from the cosmos; this meteorite has already completed its greatest function, some remnants remain that possess the effect of defensive retaliation, and can also be used as forging material. Provided to a Grandmaster craftsman or above, it will certainly create an epic-level or above equipment or ritual implement.] [Description: Receiving a Lolita from a meteorite is quite the good fortune~] Weier stopped, refraining from getting closer. A few minutes later, the girl in the meteorite raised her head and looked at Luo Xi and the others, her lips slightly parting as if she wanted to say something but couldnt speak at all. After a long time, she finally let out an immature sound. "Bell" And then, it stopped abruptly. A cold wind blew past everyone, lifting Weier and Inas hair, but it didnt affect the girl inside the meteorite at all. Luo Xi: "?" What does that mean? Weier softly asked, "Whats your name?" The girls eyes remained hazy and veiled. After a long silence, she just shook her head gently and then wrapped her small legs with her arms, lowering her head deeply, like an autistic child, She couldnt remember anything. Her mind was a complete blank, she didnt know where she came from or what she was supposed to do. However, deep in her thoughts, it seemed like there was a voice that was telling her to go witness someone. Witness? How to witness? What was she supposed to do? She didnt know... Upon the Belgri Divine Tree. Standing on a branch facing the night breeze, a Lolita in a white dress with her skirt dancing wildly in the wind, with one hand pressing down on her dress, held her chin in the other and displayed a skeptical expression. "No way, has the Big Silly really hit his head during the descent and actually turned himself into a Big Silly?" Impossible. Thats as absurd as a fully-loaded kings truck being overturned by a tiny electric scooter. The pink-haired Lolita tapped the page with it turning into that fuzzy color. However, this time the opposite party, once again, had no reactions, having fallen into complete silence, no matter how she called, there was no response from the other side. The pink-haired Lolita thought of a possibility, her delicate brows furrowed. Maybe the stress on the Big Sillys main body had affected this strand of descending will, turning it into a blank entity with no memories? "Has the situation become this dire?" The unknown deity intent on devouring this world, although unable to enter into the Dream world and the real world both of which are like a black box to it still relies on its deluded followers to exert influence. Chapter 497 - 305 Ina’s Mother, Luo Xi’s Father, Gained a Daughter? _2 Chapter 497: Chapter 305 Inas Mother, Luo Xis Father, Gained a Daughter? _2From a slow and steady conquest to a progressively domineering approach. As a deity intent on plundering all the gods of the world, what They needed was not the ant-like trivial beings of this world. So after the tug-of-war began and They gained the upper hand, They simply set up a pot on the outside to stew this world. In doing so, They sought to whittle away the power of the gods protecting this world. Facts proved this tactic struck the vital point. Although its merely a metaphor, thats roughly the situation now. The pink-haired Lolita wasnt quite sure how much pressure Big Silly was under. After sixteen World Trees, which supported the worlds operation, had fallen, and four Origin texts were stolen and went missing, more than half the pressure to maintain the worlds operation had fallen onto Their shoulders. Now with Moonflow and Void in Luo Xis hands. No wonder They said the time They could support has been reduced by so much. Of course, They could choose to abandon this world, but that stubborn Fool wouldnt listen at all; otherwise, I could have taken Them and skedaddled long ago. After all, the universe of the other world is so vast, its completely capable of creating a new world as They wish. "Forget it, it doesnt matter; theyll wake up sooner or later anyway." The garbage Lolita stated it didnt matter to her what would happen later, she just wanted to watch the drama unfold. Leave the rest to the garbage Traveler. Anyway, that guy was already planning to observe Luo Xi. With Their current state, perhaps it would be easier to get close to garbage Traveler. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, just one glance from Them would be enough to strip anyone of the ability to communicate. And surely the Loli-con garbage Traveler says no verbally, but deep down he must be thrilled, right? "Humph, I told you my nature is quite nice, garbage Traveler, you should thank me." The pink-haired garbage Lolita sat on a tree limb, swinging her legs and humming a melodious tune. Meanwhile. Text in front of Luo Xi shimmered. [Ding! Youve triggered a free mission: Strange Girl] [Mission Brief: The meteorite has opened, and inside you saw a strange little girl who seems to harbor some kind of secret. If left here, something bad may happen. Traveler, you can choose whether to take her in.] [Reward: Unknown] [Description: "Going out and encountering a meteorite, then finding a Little Lolita~"] Luo Xis mouth twitched. Dont think that by uttering a phrase and adding book quotation marks makes it a book! What was Damn Text up to? Moreover, the girl couldnt even speak, and now she was in an autistic state; normal communication was a problem. Luo Xi rubbed the back of his head in some distress. "Cat Cat, what do you think we should do?" Weier immediately replied, "Dont ask me; you decide." With someone of uncertain origin, if Weier were alone, she might bring the person back home, just as she carried the injured Luo Xi home back then. But now, its not just her and Aina behind her. It was also the whole town of twenty thousand people. To speak unpleasantly, if this little girl was with those from the Noah Church, or if she was some kind of trick of theirs, then such kindness would be asking for trouble. Luo Xi suggested, "How about we go back to sleep first? Well come back and see her tomorrow?" Weier hesitated for a moment, but still could not bear to say, "If we leave, do we just let her stay in this icy and snowy Snow Field? If there are dangerous Origin Beasts attracted by the scent and come here, it wouldnt be good." Aina whispered, "Aina thinks shes strange..." "Then..." Crack! Suddenly, a piercing sound came from the meteorite. Seeing the emergent situation, Luo Xi didnt think twice and immediately used the ready MoonflowHalt. As the dull color tinted the nights snowfield bathed in Belgris golden glow, Luo Xi, with Cat Cat and Aina in tow, prepared to evacuate. Thats when something shocking happened. One second passed. The girl sitting in the meteorite blankly lifted her head to look at him. ??? This was time halted! How could she move? Two seconds passed. Luo Xi hesitated about whether to run away immediately. Such an occurrence was too bewitching. If it had been a high-level entity like Black Dragon Bahamut that could still move in halted time, Luo Xi could accept that. But this outwardly young-looking girl... Luo Xi suddenly remembered that appearance, in this world, might not be an accurate measure of age. What on earth had Damn Text sent over? Three seconds passed. When times stop ended, the girl in the meteorite shook her ahoge, her light blue eyes fixed intently on Luo Xis face. She rose from the center of the meteorite, and as she moved, it began to slowly crack open, eventually breaking into several large chunks with a bang. "Father... father..." An almost whisper-like tender voice crept out from the girls lips. Luo Xi: "???" No way, you can mess up your meals, but you cant mess up your words! It was bad enough that Florecia forcibly made him call her mother, and as an obedient child, Luo Xi got quite a few benefits and help from Dragon Mama. But this sudden demand to play daddyhow could anyone stand it! Weier was also bewildered. She clung to Luo Xis arm and (n) said, "You pervert, when did you become a dad? What else have you done to other girls?" Sear?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Chapter 498 - 305 Ina’s Mother, Luo Xi’s Father, Gained a Daughter? _3 Chapter 498: Chapter 305 Inas Mother, Luo Xis Father, Gained a Daughter? _3"How should I know! Im still a pure little virgin, no wait..." Luo Xi, amidst the chaos, said, "Shes already so big, and I havent been in this world for very long. Even if I did do something, it couldnt have grown this big, right!" Weier: "..." Thats true. Aina blinked her tea-colored eyes on the side. Her reaction wasnt as extreme as her sisters. After all, Brother Luo Xi was only in his twenties. How could he have a child? And this kind of girl who suddenly runs out to recognize a relative is always better than those adulterous cats. The girl seemed to have been stiffened by Luo Xis reaction. She didnt know whether to advance or to retreat. Her ahoge faintly drooped, and the wind blew through her clothes, with her pale, milky little face full of panic and insecurity. Did she recognize the wrong person? She didnt even know why she had suddenly shouted like that. Above the Belgri Divine Tree, the pink fur little Lolita gnawing on a fresh Da Peng honeydew melon clicked her tongue and sighed: "He really has forgotten everything, worthy of being a big silly, so foolish hes even calling out the wrong names now." "I gotta record this; its a super dark history." "Humph humph, not bad, really not bad..." Luo Xi didnt know that a certain hateful female ghost was wildly enjoying the drama; his head was a mess. How exactly should he handle this girl with an unknown origin? Take her back and raise her? Its not that it wasnt possible... Luo Xi carefully looked over the freelance mission just now. Could the purpose of this mission be for him to adopt this child as a father? Damn Texts actions were nonsensical, but it wouldnt create such a task for the mere purpose of playing a prank on him, especially when the girls ability to ignore the stillness of time was something special. As the girl pursed her lips, her frail and petite body becoming increasingly unsteady, Luo Xi said, "Although Im not your father, if you have nowhere to go right now, I can take you in temporarily." Upon hearing Luo Xis words, the girls ahoge perked up as if energized, and she stepped closer, nodding vigorously, "Thank you, father." The girls cuteness was not much less than Ainas. Ainas eyes lit up slightly as she said, "Dont call him father; its too formal. Call him daddy." "Dad... daddy?" The girl tilted her head. Luo Xi: "..." What was Aina doing? Although the two titles were similar, the latter sounded much closer. Aina patted her little chest and said to the girl, "You see, Aina is the future wife of brother, so if you call Brother Luo Xi daddy, then Aina is mommy, right? Quickly, call Aina mommy. Confused, the girl echoed, "Aina... mommy?" "Ehehe~ Let mommy Aina give you a hug. I never thought Aina would have a child too~" The Little Wolf Girl opened her arms excitedly to hug the girl. Luo Xi wanted to intervene. But since the little girl had shown no malicious intent from the beginning, Luo Xi stopped himself, watching as Aina embraced the girl in her arms. The height difference between them was about a head or so. Without the wolf ears, Aina was probably about 146cm tall, while this girl was likely around 130cm. A Wolf Eared Lolita mommy and an even smaller Little Lolita.... No matter how he thought about it, it felt criminal. Shouting it at home was one thing, but if others found out, wouldnt his reputation be completely ruined? "Wuwuwu~" The girl, smothered in Ainas embrace, couldnt say a word and could only make whimpering cute sounds. Weier was also somewhat moved on the side, but her dignity as an elder sister forced her to control her inner desire. She too wanted to be called mommy by this child. It felt oddly satisfying. With some helplessness, Luo Xi said, "Aina, let her go. Lets head back to the manor first." "Okay." The Little Wolf Girl reluctantly let go, but the joy on her face didnt diminish. Aina is a mommy too, eh~ What would her mother think if she knew about this? Would she be happy?

[Note: If we dont clarify things, Im guessing that garbage Traveler is going to get a beating from an extremely angry mother-in-law~] "?" Damn Text, what are you talking about? Pop! Luo Xi snapped his fingers, using teleportation. The power from the Belgri Divine Tree extended out, enveloping everyone here. Amidst the golden rings ascent and descent, the group appeared together in the manors bedroom. Luo Xi also took the opportunity to bring back the meteorite fragments and placed them aside. These high-grade materials couldnt be wasted. Once they were in the bedroom, the girls body stiffened again. She looked around uneasily and finally turned toward Luo Xi; her lively eyes showed an uneasy expression. "Dad... daddy..." "My name is Luo Xi, you can call me Brother Luo Xi." "Father... Lord..." "Fine." Luo Xi held his forehead. Somehow, he really had become a dad. If Dragon Mama hadnt left yet, she would discover shed suddenly become a grandmother. Weier suddenly asked, "Do you have a name?" "Name...?" "It seems she doesnt have one." Weier looked to Luo Xi and asked, "Should we give her a name?" Luo Xi pondered for a moment and said, "The first character she uttered back in the Snow Field was Bell, right?" "How about we name her Bell?" On the manors rooftop. The pink fur little Lolitas eyes widened: "What the heck, thats my name!" A pseudonym, huh? If youre called that, what am I supposed to be called in the future? In the end, Luo Xi decided to add another character to the name. Chapter 499 - 305 Ina’s Mother, Luo Xi’s Father, Gained a Daughter? _4 Chapter 499: Chapter 305 Inas Mother, Luo Xis Father, Gained a Daughter? _4"Fengling." He patted the girls hair, felt the warmth indistinguishable from Cat Cat and Ainas, and said softly, "Thats your name, but if you dont like it, you can say so or pick one yourself." "Fengling..." The girl turned to Luo Xi and revealed a sweet smile: "Thank you, Dad... Daddy." [Ding! Your Happiness Level +88] Luo Xi suddenly felt that perhaps having such a daughter wasnt so bad. A glint of excitement sparkled in Ainas eyes as she grabbed the girls hand, joyfully shaking her big tail, and said, "Inas Mother will take you to bathe. Oh, and this is your Cat Cat Mother... I mean, Weier Mother, come on, lets take a bath together." Under the stern gaze of Cat Cat, Aina still corrected herself. "Father..." "Go ahead." Luo Xi gave the girl an encouraging look. After the two sisters took the girl into the bathroom, Luo Xi exhaled slightly. He was now completely clueless about what the Damn Text was trying to do. Sending over a little girl whose use he didnt know. He would rather have the Damn Text itself come down, let him pet it first, and take a look at that ice cream it used as a bargaining chip... Wait a second! A thought struck Luo Xi. Could it be possible that this little girl was the Damn Text? Hmm... It should be impossible. That thing would never call him father unless one day he found its true form, severely disciplined it, and then had it call him dad... [Note: You garbage Traveler, how could you have such wicked thoughts. Im so disappointed in you! ()!] Cough, its just a thought, no, damn it, explain why you sent over a girl who cant remember anything? People who didnt know any better might think he was a pervert who abducted little Lolitas. And how could she move in frozen time? [Note: Everything, you need to figure it out by yourself, garbage Traveler. Just a little hint, treat her as an additional family member in your daily life. Whatever you decide to do in the future should still follow your own thoughts~ Oh, and dont force yourself on her~] Ha, he wasnt a pervert. Who would prey on a girl so much younger than Aina! Unless she was the Damn Text transformed. ... /// White Blossom Land, Ismure. "What exactly is going on?" In the night, a fox-eared girl with a big tail hurried along the road, checking several exits before confirming she was locked inside the city. Feya had planned to leave the city this very night. But suddenly, a three-meter-high wall had risen in the White Blossom Land, which had no walls before. Did Count Ismure do this? Why would he do such a thing? Feya couldnt understand. Over the past few days, she had seen Count Ismures leniency towards Mutant Patients for herself. She had even witnessed the Elf Count providing living supplies and food to Mutant Patients. That royal-born elf showed genuine kindness to Mutant Patients, allowing them to freely enter and exit the town. Why would such a tolerant person... As Feya was utterly confused, a prompt from her bloodline made her look up at the sky. Sarch* The N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. A green text label suddenly appeared in the night sky. It was an Elf spell for distant distress call! Only in the face of extreme danger would the keeper of the Divine Tree use such a label to call for help from the royal capital. Yet shortly after, the label was torn apart by some force, visible for less than two seconds. A chill crept into Feyas heart. Is Count Ismure in danger? How could that be possible? With a Divine Tree that stood four hundred meters tall and Count Ismure wielding Tier Five intermediate Strength, what could possibly... Feya fell silent. Could it be... because of her arrival, again? Seriously, what luck. She was just a bringer of disaster. Chapter 500 - 306 Return of Dragon Mama’s Warm Embrace, Flood Disaster Waterlit (6.2k)_1 Chapter 500: Chapter 306 Return of Dragon Mamas Warm Embrace, Flood Disaster Waterlit (6.2k)_1In the Dream world, somehow gaining a "daughter" didnt really affect Luo Xi much. The girl seemed to be a very calm child, too. Since Aina liked to play mother, she could just take care of the girl. [Note: The mother of the daughter turns out to be an underage little Lolita. What a joke, trash fish Traveler.] "Huh?" Luo Xi clenched his teeth in anger. Damn it, wasnt it you, Damn Text, who sent her over?! The more Luo Xi got to know about Damn Text, the less mysterious it seemed. Now, his impression of it boiled down to one word garbage. This thing always calls him trash Traveler, but in reality, its the real trash! One hundred percent a trashy female ghost of a god! As the sounds of splashing water gradually came from the bathroom, Luo Xis mood slowly calmed down. He released Spark from his dream knapsack and then jumped straight out the window. The tricolor sphere Spark turned into chased after him like a dog. Tiny golden sparkles drifted from the sphere and gathered on Luo Xis shoulder, where the figurine-like golden-haired Elf sat, swinging her slender legs. "Master, could you maybe not put Spark into that space in the future?" Spark spoke mournfully, "Although it feels like just an instant, Spark always feels like shes been dead asleep." Luo Xi curiously asked, "What does it feel like in there?" The dream knapsack could only contain inanimate objects. As for living things, completely defenseless small animals like rats would die instantly if taken in. Only existences like artefact spirits such as Spark could maintain stability inside. Spark, looking wronged, said, "Its like thought is frozen, sinking and rising in dark tides continuously, yet its not an utter lack of awareness, which makes it really uncomfortable..." After thinking for a moment, Luo Xi said, "Then I wont put you in there anymore. In the next few days, follow those two masters and help them with their research to see if theres a way to enhance your overall abilities," Like the scales from Black Dragon Bahamut and those meteorite fragments. As legendary materials, if they could be integrated... Of course, Luo Xi was just contemplating the idea. The core part of Spark was her rune sequence. Thats where her spirit resided, and then there was the Yuan Su Furnace Core, acting as her heart. These two were her true essence, while the rare materials like Mithril and Electrum were just the vessel. But the quality of Sparks rune sequence, which was her core, was far from the legendary level. Unless Dragon Mamas Rune Skill could reach the Grandmaster level one day, improving Spark further would be very difficult. Otherwise, even if a legendary quality armor shell was developed using a lot of resources, what would be the use if Spark couldnt harness it? The little one nodded earnestly, "Mm, Spark will strive to grow stronger to protect Master!" Luo Xi smiled. He lifted a finger and tapped the little ones head lightly. In a way, Spark was the most worry-free one for him. Luo Xi went to check on the two Master Craftsmen. In the basement, Alte and Fredman were working together to forge a piece of material, while the young player Wen Huan assisted beside them. "Lord, hello." Upon seeing Luo Xi, they put down their work and greeted him with respect. "No need for formality, just keep up the good work," Luo Xi said. He paused, then added, "Masters, if youre considering staying here, I can offer" "I would like to stay. Besides, getting to Winter City is just a matter of going through a Hollow Flower," Alte declared. "Me too," Fredman nodded. The two elders agreed almost without hesitation. That left Luo Xi with a bunch of persuasive words stuck in his throat. It was not what he had expected. A smile formed on Luo Xis face, "Then Id like both of you to discuss with Ulysses, the housekeeper, tomorrow, and give your specific requirements so that he can prepare an alchemy and craftsmans workshop for you in town. But its quite late today, everyone should head back and rest." After sending the two seemingly tired old men off, Luo Xi turned his attention to the remaining player, Wen Huan. Wen Huans expression was complex as he looked at the young man. With such a big event happening in the real world just yesterday, he certainly knew about it. As a fellow player, Luo Xi was not only the lord of a town in the Dream world but also appeared invincible in the real world, having made Mei Country take a hit. In comparison, he felt quite ridiculous. While someone had already reached the pinnacle of the world, he couldnt even save his own girlfriend and was just serving as a humble assistant here. Wen Huan hesitated for a long time before saying, "Mr. Luo Xi, may I ask, what is your relationship with that red-haired Dragonized Variant girl who traded with me last time? She looks a lot like the one who was with you before." Luo Xi: "..." [Note: Trash Traveler, tell him thats me!] Scram! Luo Xi calmly said, "Shes a friend of mine, but shes not playing this game anymore." Sar?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Oh..."

Never mind, there wouldnt be any problem even if he didnt ask. Sar?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Last time, the girl with whom he had made a deal had given him a huge favor, offering hope for his girlfriends resurrection. No matter who she was, since she was related to the Lord here, he would stay and use all his abilities to assist Mr. Luo Xi. "Lets go." Luo Xi waved his hand and left the underground storage. He used the Divine Trees perception to check on Chu Tian. Cao Zei hadnt done anything and was fast asleep in bed, likely having logged out. The perception continued to extend, spreading through the entire town. Luo Xi heard many people talking. [Honey, who exactly is our Lord? Even the imposing Noah Church was driven away by him the day before yesterday, and hes been so kind to us Variants.] [Impossible, our Lord is definitely not a bastard like Andrew! Honey, you cant talk about him like that!] [Why hasnt the Lord shown himself yet? I want to make a statue for him.] [So many houses have collapsed these past few days. Dont stay up, everyone. Tomorrow is another tough battle. Lets pull together our strength and work hard to give an account to the Lord who trusts us!] Many who hadnt yet gone to sleep were talking about Luo Xi, the Lord who hadnt yet shown himself to the townspeople. Most of the comments were positive. [Ding! Traveler, as the controller of the Divine Tree, your town has encountered numerous dangers, but you have resolved them in various ways.

Advancement of the True Canon and Divine Tree can be achieved through the following methods Fill the Power of Divine Tree to its limit for automatic advancement.

Continue to increase the population and the townspeoples sense of belonging; when the population reaches 50,000 and the overall sense of belonging reaches 90, advancement can be completed.] [Warm Tip: The Power of Divine Tree doesnt have to be accumulated slowly. Traveler, you should already know that the power from other Divine Trees is interchangeable, right?] "..." No wonder Andrew would use something as crooked as Snowworms to advance the Divine Tree. Normally, to advance a Divine Tree is quite a challenging task. Luo Xi closed the text. The situation in Dream World had been mostly handled. Florecia must have returned to the volcanic coastline by now, hadnt she? Pop! Luo Xi teleported back to the manor. Beneath a tree, he placed the two initial seeds of the Hollow Flower. [Would you like to activate the initial seeds?] [Yes] [OriginVoid is infusing power...] The seeds quickly took root and sprouted, growing rapidly. After about two minutes, two identical Hollow Flowers stood side by side with their serrated edges tightly sealed shut. [Ding! The other body of the initial seed has been planted; do you wish to activate it remotely?] [Yes] Raging lava surged out of the volcanos mouth from time to time, spilling onto the Red Dragon resting nearby. The Red Dragons vertical golden pupils were fixed on the two seeds she had buried in the ground, filled with intense anxiety. Can it succeed? If it fails, she might have trouble seeing Little Luo Xi again in the future. It has to succeed! Florecia silently prayed in her heart. It was precisely because of the many interesting experiences that returning to the monotonous life of guarding the coast felt exceptionally dull. Of course, she wasnt complaining. Lord Bahamut had saved her and fulfilling her promise with a lifetimes dedication was, of course, a given. Boom! The volcano erupted slightly. The Red Dragon turned to look towards the sea. After the aura left by Lord Alexilita had dissipated, those ghostly things in the sea started to stir again. Fortunately, she had arrived in time and didnt give those creatures a chance to come ashore. However, because of the recent events, the sea might be turbulent quite frequently. Florecia exhaled a hot breath, as a cold killing intention emanated from her. She really wanted to annihilate those things... If only she could use the Root Flame indiscriminately, she would have at least burned a swath of the sea to vent the pent-up frustration of thousands of years. Whoosh An odd sound suddenly emerged. The Red Dragon immediately turned back, gazing at the seeds that were now changing, her heart filled with anticipation. Minutes later, when the two Hollow Flowers appeared beside each other, Florecia finally felt the weight in her heart lift. The serrated edges of one Hollow Flower opened slightly. Soon after, Luo Xi stepped out, and before his left foot even touched the ground, he was pulled into the soft embrace by Dragon Mama, who had been squatting outside for a long time. "Little Luo Xi, youre in such a hurry to see Mama, huh? Mama knew Little Luo Xi loves Mama the most, hehe~" Florecia completely forgot that she had only recently said goodbye to Luo Xi. She simply wanted to enjoy the joy of this mother-son reunion. "Mmph, let go, Ressia Mama, loosen your grip a bit..." Luo Xis face was pressed into the soft flesh, his body completely immobilized, with only his hands free to move. As he breathed in, all he could smell was the pleasant scent of milk and a wave of warmth. Chapter 502 - 306 Dragon Mama’s Warm Embrace Returns, Flood Disaster Waterlit (6.2k)_3 Chapter 502: Chapter 306 Dragon Mamas Warm Embrace Returns, Flood Disaster Waterlit (6.2k)_3He had only come this time to test the Hollow Flowers, not to enjoy Dragon Mamas embrace! [Ding! Your Happiness Level +33] [Note: Trash Traveler, keep explaining, look at how happy you are, do you think well believe you~] Damn it! One minute. Two minutes. Three minutes. Luo Xi had no idea how long Florecia would continue to hold him. In the midst of his struggling, Luo Xi touched Dragon Ladys tail again, and after hesitating for two seconds, he gave it a squeeze. "Ying!" Luo Xi suddenly felt his body loosen. He escaped from her grip, took a few deep breaths, then looked at the Dragon Lady in front of him holding her own tail, her delicate face slightly flushed. However, she quickly returned to her usual indifferent demeanor, as if that crisp and charming sound hadnt come from her. Florecias red lips curled upwards, speaking discontentedly, "I told you not to mess with Mamas tail, you bad child, not listening again." Luo Xi helplessly replied, "Who comes and does something like what you just did, Ressia Mama? I almost got suffocated just now." "Its fine, Mama still has plenty of blood and saliva!" "Thats not the point at all!" [Note: Trash Traveler, stop playing coy after taking advantage!] Luo Xi didnt continue speaking, he walked a few steps, took a look around the volcanic colony, then said with a smile, "Now that the Hollow Flowers can be used, it will be convenient. From now on, I can come and visit you, Ressia Mama, every day." Two Hollow Flowers could make one round trip without needing to cool down. "Little Luoxi, thats thoughtful of you." Florecia lightly jumped to the edge of the volcanos mouth, then turned to Luo Xi and asked, "What do you want to do next, Little Luoxi? Continue in the Emerald Forest, or go somewhere else?" Luo Xi was silent for a moment before saying, "Lets walk around the Emerald Forest first, at least I know the situation here to some extent." Florecia nodded, "Here, if you need Mama, Mama might be able to come over and help you." With her speed, distances of hundreds of kilometers could be crossed in a short time, she just needed to deal with the enemy quickly and then return. After chatting casually for a while, Luo Xi entered another Hollow Flower and returned to Belgri Town. It was now a little after two in the morning. Luo Xi returned to the bedroom in the manor and found that the lights were out in the bedroom, and Weier, Aina, and Fengling were sleeping on the big bed, seemingly getting along very happily. Luo Xi silently lay on his own bed, ready to log out of the synchronization. Sear?h the N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. In the darkness, a pair of light red eyes quietly opened. Click! The light suddenly turned on. Weier sat up, adjusted her thin nightgown, and frowned slightly, "Pervert, where did you go just now?" After they had taken their bath and came out, they had found the room empty, and no one showed up for quite a while. Aina wrinkled her little nose and said, "Sister Weier, Brother has the scent of that Dragon Lady on him again! Its strong!" Luo Xi: "..." Aina, can your nose be any sharper? Cat Cat said thoughtfully, "Are the Hollow Flowers planted?" "Yep." Luo Xi nodded, "That way, if we encounter danger here, she can come help." "Daddy... Dad." Accompanying a soft and tender call, the girl who had been between Weier and Aina, unbeknownst to them, approached Luo Xi with bare feet, her long cherry-pink hair trailing on the floor. Luo Xi: "?" When had Fengling learned to get out of bed? He hadnt seen anything. It seemed that right as the conversation between Luo Xi and Weier had ended, Fengling had climbed out of bed without any of them noticing. The girl came to Luo Xis side, her light blue starry eyes fixated on something behind Luo Xi. Luo Xi looked behind him in confusion. What was she seeing? Spark? Spark had already returned to her original state. Two small hands quietly landed on Luo Xis tail, curiously pinching it. Luo Xi: "..." Turns out, she was interested in his tail. The girl touched very gently, and because she was touching the middle part of the tail rather than the tip, there was no intense reaction like with Dragon Mama, so Luo Xi didnt mind the childs curiosity. Weier, seeing her sister and their new daughter having fun with Luo Xis tail, eventually couldnt help but climb off the bed too. The three of them started to study Luo Xis tail in earnest. Luo Xi, feeling violated, chose to log out of the synchronization. Weier and Aina withdrew their hands. Without Luo Xi, it wasnt fun anymore. They took Fengling back to their big bed, turned off the lights, and went back to sleep. Chapter 503 - 306 Return of Dragon Mama’s Warm Embrace, Flood Disaster Waterlit (6.2k)_4 Chapter 503: Chapter 306 Return of Dragon Mamas Warm Embrace, Flood Disaster Waterlit (6.2k)_4After Ainas breathing evened out, Weier slowly turned over and took out a pen and notebook from the bag by her bed. [Pan-continental Calendar, 3970, December 27, Snow] [Today, along with Aina and that Dragon girl, we went to Luo Xis world. Even though it was dangerous, under that Dragons terrifying and overwhelming strength, all dangers were turned into safety. That Dragon called Mama by Luo Xi is really impressive. When we came back in the evening, the Dragon left, but then came a weird little one who was coaxed by Aina to call me and Inas Mother... I dont even know who she is.] Luo Xi, this guy, has really started to attract more and more strange beings around him. The woman that the Black Dragon turned into yesterday is quite terrifying; the coldness of her eyes still comes to me even as Im trying to sleep.] Ai Xue has actually already "eaten" Luo Xi... Damn it, next time, next time I go there, I must, well, never mind...] Weier crossed out some of the words, then stuffed the notebook back into her bag. Perhaps well talk about it next time? ... Luo Xi opened his eyes and looked around himself, relieved to see that Ai Xue wasnt there. The feeling of exhaustion still clung to him, both physically and mentally. Forget about being sarcastic right now, today he definitely needed to rest well. Putting the text aside, he closed his eyes, and not long after, he fell into a deep sleep. Unexpectedly, when Luo Xi woke up again after this sleep, a whole day had already passed. It was already October 24th, 11 p.m. at night. He had slept for almost a full day and night. Luo Xi: "???" Damn, why did no one wake him up? [Note: Cant be woken up series, is the Traveler a pig?] "Senior, youre awake?" Ai Xue, wrapped in a bathrobe, walked out from the bathroom, her face beaming with joy as she saw Luo Xi. She had been calling for him for a long time today, but Luo Xi just wouldnt wake up. Sar?h the novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Luo Xi rolled over and sat up. He first flipped through his texts. Indeed, Weier and Aina were extremely worried. [Traveler, tell them you were too tired and slept until now] "Senior, its been a long time since the last time." At that moment, Ai Xue slowly approached Luo Xi, her gentle words reaching his ear, her breath fragrant with steam and warmth seeping from her head down into his body, causing Luo Xi to feel a heat build up inside him. The moonlight outside the window passed through, landing on the floor, stretching to the bed and gradually dimming, still and warm. The next day, October 25th. [Ding! "Dawn" version 2.5 will be updated at noon 12:00, looking forward to it, Travelers~] [Ding! Traveler, a foreign visitor has entered your town] ... /// The real world, October 24th. Pan-continental Calendar, December 28th. White Flower Town of Ismure. Now it can no longer be called White Flower Town. All the white flowers have vanished. Feya stood on a patch of ground in the city, watching countless profound black currents flow by her side, swallowing up everything within sight, her delicate face showing sorrow. Dark rain occasionally fell from the sky, and when it landed on buildings and people, it had an eroding effect. Only she remained unharmed. A faint light flickered on her body, whether it was the black currents or the falling rain, they all seemed to consciously avoid her. The fox-eared girl looked around in bewilderment: "Is this the precursor to the second Origin Disaster, the Flood Disaster Waterlit? The strength is not high, but why here, who is guiding this?" She had been rushing around for the past two days trying to find the root of the problem, but she couldnt get close to the Ismure Divine Tree. "Save me...." Feya looked up to see a girl not far away making a weak sound. The girls body was covered in black spots, an aftereffect of being eroded by the black water. Feya wanted to go over and check, but just then, a terrifying sound of shattering echoed. The fox-eared girl turned her head incredulously to see the massive Divine Tree, four hundred meters tall, shattering apart, with countless black currents gushing out! The barrier that had sealed the city for several days also broke at the same moment. But Feya had no time to escape; she had not yet mastered the Elf spell for teleportation and could only throw her pet Grey flying. The bird circled desperately in the sky, longing to return to its master, but in the end, it could only see the fox-eared girls tragically beautiful smile. "Run, dont worry about me." Then, the raging black current devoured everything on the ground. Chapter 504 - 307: A Date with Cat Cat Alone, Lolita’s Mom is also a Lolita (6k)_1 Chapter 504: Chapter 307: A Date with Cat Cat Alone, Lolitas Mom is also a Lolita (6k)_1"Luo Xi, where did you go? Why didnt you respond at all yesterday?" "Ah, didnt I say, I slept all day." "And after that, you disappeared for several hours again after telling us about your situation last night?" Weier glared at Luo Xi beside her, puffing up with anger. This guy definitely wasnt telling the truth. Originally, she and Aina were quite worried about him, but after waiting for so long last night, he just sent a message to say he was safe, and then he took off again. More than two hours later, this guy came back, claiming he had gone back to sleep for a bit. Who would believe that? He must have been in his world, doing something with that adulterous cat... with Ai Xue, for sure! Under Weiers intense scrutiny, Luo Xi hung his head and admitted his mistake, promising never to do the same thing again. This time, it really was his fault. After all, having slept for an entire day and night, he woke up with so much energy, and Ai Xue had been all ready, deliberately tempting him, and he just couldnt resist... This time, Luo Xi really got to experience what it felt like for a girl to go from being large to small, and then from small to large again. All he could say was... it was quite interesting. [Note: Thats quite the punishment~] Shut up! Luo Xi guiltily opened up the Damn Text. Ai Xue is already 22, its not a crime! Sear?h the n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Seeing Luo Xi apologizing so sincerely, Weier let the matter slide. After all, whatever happened in that other world was out of their hands, and Ai Xue had already made her intentions clear to her. Truth be told, Weier did admire Ai Xue a bit. To have liked this guy for three years, confessing many times and being rejected in all sorts of ways but still not giving up, that determination was truly formidable. If it were her... she would never like this pervert! However, the thought of this guy, together with Ai Xue, entwined in sorrow on the bed while she and Aina could only stay here, unaware of everything... Erasing the embarrassing images she couldnt help but imagine from her mind, Cat Cat turned her head away, her cheeks flushing with a touch of pink, her mood turning somewhat sad again. Why cant one freely travel between two worlds? Then maybe she could also... Hmph, as if she wanted to do anything with this pervert. Luo Xi watched Weier curiously as her microexpressions changed. What is this silly cat thinking? If only he had the Damn Texts terrifying ability to read minds. Seeing Luo Xi keep looking at her, Weiers blush deepened, and she kicked out at him with her small leg, saying, "What are you looking at? Pervert Fondling Hands." Luo Xi: "..." The thoughts of a young girl are always difficult to fathom. "Cat Cat, wheres Aina?" Luo Xi looked towards the big bed and did not see the familiar figure, which made him feel surprised. Aina usually couldnt wait to rush over to him as soon as she got out of bed. And that mysterious little girl who had just arrived last night seemed to have disappeared as well. Speaking of Aina, Weier couldnt help but pursed her lips and said, "Aina went shopping outside with that cheaply adopted daughter of hers. Honestly, shes just a kid who hasnt grown up yet, having Fengling call her mom, isnt she embarrassed?" "Are they on Grace Ring Street?" Thanks to the strong support of Ulysses and Luo Xi, after the former Lord Andrew stepped down, Belgri Towns Grace Ring Street was still operating normally, but now using a bidding system. The shops and land belonged to the town, and only those who were permitted could open shops on that street. The existence of that street brought a lot of vitality to this small town, offering various interesting foods and activities, becoming a good place for the townspeople to alleviate their fatigue after a days work. Weier and Aina had also visited it many times recently, and after the monetary system reform, they could have fun for a long while with just one or two gold coins. Luo Xi wondered, "Why didnt they take you with them?" "What do you think?" Weier swung her little fist and gently hit Luo Xi, saying softly, "If no one stayed here, when you came back and didnt see anyone, you would worry, right?" Luo Xi couldnt help but remain silent. Compared to his actions last night, he really felt like scolding himself. "But dont worry." Weier placed her hands behind her back, leaning slightly forward, her pale red eyes blinking as she smiled brightly, "As long as the body you have here is by my side, I can assure you that the first thing youll see when you wake up will be me." [Ding! Your Touching Value +100] Luo Xi wanted to say that he had the Strength of the Belgri Divine Tree and could easily find them anywhere in town, but he swallowed the mood-killing words before they left his mouth. Weier looked at the clock in the room and said, "Lets go find Aina and the others now. Its already past ten in the morning, and they set off an hour ago. They probably have had enough fun..." As Cat Cat spoke, she hadnt even taken two steps when she found that the guy behind her had walked up to her, and somehow, he had taken her hand. "You..." Weier glanced at the shameless young man next to her holding her hand, wondering how he could have such thick skin. But Weier didnt really want to pull her hand away. These past few days, this was the first time Luo Xi had taken her hand while alone with her. [Ding! Weiers Shyness Value +22] Chapter 505 - 307: A Date with Cat Cat Alone, Lolita’s Mom is also a Lolita (6k)_2 Chapter 505: Chapter 307: A Date with Cat Cat Alone, Lolitas Mom is also a Lolita (6k)_2[Ding! Weiers Favorability towards you +5] The blush on her face spread rapidly, soon reaching Cat Cats neck. [Note: The innocent Cat Cat is now in the palm of the garbage Travelers hand; this very moment is ripe for a takedown!] Luo Xi: "..." What the hell, he had no intention to cuckold himself. If it were in the real world, where Weier could travel through the cradle and nest to get there, it might be possible... Suddenly Luo Xi remembered a serious issue. The bodies hatched in the real world using the cradle and nest were copied over from the templates of the bodies of Weier and others from the Dream world; even if they suffered injuries or even died in reality, it should not be a big deal. In some ways, they were like players from the Dream world to the real world, its just that their accounts couldnt be preserved for long. So, if he did that something with Weier in the real world, once she returned, would her body reset the next time she came back? Luo Xi fell into a brief contemplation. [Ding! Your Desire to Explore +100] [Note: Garbage Traveler, youre beyond salvation. Dont channel your exploratory desires into such matters!] Cough, cant a guy even think about it? Luo Xi continued forward without changing his expression, holding Cat Cats hand as they left the bedroom. S~ea??h the N??eFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Since leaving Winter City for Belgri Town, his time spent with Weier had indeed decreased a lot. Especially after Dragon Mama arrivedhis time with Aina even lessened (strike that), the frequency of petting Aina to gain Happiness Levels had lessened. Fortunately, today was free of obligations; the game update wasnt until 12 oclock, and there were still several hours to go. He thought about taking Weier for a stroll on the streets. Of course, after the afternoon, when the cradle and nest refresh, Weier and Aina could go over to his side again, but then it would be the three of them together. In Luo Xis gripping hand, Weiers body was a bit rigid. The cat tail that was originally soft and flexible behind her was also taut, but before she could wrap her tail around to the front, she felt a warm and tenacious object touch her back, forcibly pulling her tail back. Weier: "???" Cat Cat turned her head and saw that it was Luo Xis dragon tail hooking her own. "What are you doing?" "Cuddling." "Huh?" Weiers mind was full of question marks. Luo Xi said nothing more, simply leading the girl onwards. Weiers body gradually relaxed. She raised her head to look at Luo Xis side profile. For some reason, she always felt that this guy had a very comfortable aura about him. As Luo Xi walked down the road on the outskirts of the manor, the maids still working in the manor saluted him with trepidation. Only after Luo Xi had walked a good distance did they dare to raise their heads and speak. As part of the manor staff, these maids knew about the presence of Lord Luo Xi. One maid patted her round clothes, saying, "The aura released by Lord today was terrifying. I felt like I was about to be killed." The brunette maid beside her said expectantly, "But the expression on that young madam looked so happy. If I could become a concubine of Lord, hehe..." "Dream on. That young madam is called Weier, and she even has a younger sister. Lord likes such young girls; we older women dont stand a chance." Another maid watering the flowers said softly, "Weier Misss sister is still so young, is that really okay? This morning I thought I saw Miss Aina with an even younger girl. That girl couldnt be Lords new fancy..." "Shhh, be careful what you say." Unaware of what the maids were discussing, Luo Xi removed the Black Death God title he had just equipped. The test was quite successful; the second effect of this title indeed only affected others, Weier didnt feel a thing. Of course, its also possible that the pressure and murderous intent he released subconsciously avoided Cat Cat. Special attack against Lolitas... Luo Xi moved his gaze away from the titles effect description and twitched his mouth. Murderous aura that makes Little Lolitas feel refreshed... What if someone sent a Lolita Assassination Squad after him in the future? [Note: Well, of course, you would take them all down, show off the perverted instincts of a garbage Traveler] Shut up. Damn Text is incapable of saying anything nice. He didnt believe for a second that this titles effect had nothing to do with the Damn Text. Weier also noticed the comfortable feeling from Luo Xi beside her had disappeared. But she didnt find it strange. This guy was mysterious from the start. The two of them walked hand in hand along a path toward the edge of town. Grace Ring Street was right there. This time there was no Aina, no Dragon Mama, and no Ai Xue. It was just Luo Xi and Weier. The two of them strolled through the street shops like a normal couple. "Is that ice cream?" Cat Cat curiously looked at a small stand by the road, where someone was selling a mixture of snow and colorful things, somewhat like the ice cream she had eaten over at Luo Xis. Eating ice cream in a place like Shining Country, where it is cold all year round, seems a bit... foolish. Luo Xi glanced over and nodded, "Pretty much, since theres no technology and heavy labor in this world, these colors are also extracted from some plants. Do you want some?" Chapter 506 - 307: A Date with Cat Cat Alone, Lolita’s Mom is also a Lolita (6k)_3 Chapter 506: Chapter 307: A Date with Cat Cat Alone, Lolitas Mom is also a Lolita (6k)_3"Yes!" Weiers eyes lit up, and she subconsciously wanted to wag her tail, only to find it was pulled even tighter by the guy beside her. What was he clinging so tightly for... However, from the entangled tail, Weier could clearly feel a warmth continuously radiating to her, warming her body. After the Red Dragon Lady left, the temperature in Belgri Town had obviously dropped quite a bit, and today, the temperature on the streets must have fallen below zero again. It was likely to drop even further going forward. After all, it was still winter. While Cat Cat was lost in thought, Luo Xi had already bought two ice creams and handed one to Cat Cat. The ice creams in this world were of the pure, natural, pollution-free kind, which one could confidently indulge in without worry. The two of them licked their ice creams while continuing their stroll on the street. In a newly opened card shop, Aina was teaching Fengling how to play cards; she had long wanted someone to play cards with, but unfortunately, her sister didnt like card games, and her brother was usually very busy. "Skill card, Tier Four Glory Spear, Little Fengling, Ainas Mother wins." The Little Wolf Girl proudly slapped down a card, taking away the last bit of Life Value from the girl opposite her. The cherry pink ahoge on top of Fenglings head swayed slightly. She didnt quite understand the rules of the card game, but seeing Inas Mother looking so happy, she felt happy too. At that moment, Aina wrinkled her nose and glanced out the window. Those two extremely familiar figures were strolling leisurely down the road. "Sister Weier and Brother Luo Xi?" Aina wanted to greet the pair, but then she noticed the interlinked hands and the tails entwined behind them. The Little Wolf Girl forcefully held back her voice. "Really, Sister Weier, going on a date alone with Brother and not calling Aina..." The Wolf Eared Lolita pursed her lips; she also wanted to experience what it felt like to intertwine tails with Brother. Maybe next time... It was rare for Sister Weier to go out with Brother today. She was counting on her sister to make a strong impression, and even though that Ai Xue had already eaten up Brother, it didnt mean Ai Xue had won. Sister Weier still had a chance. Like maybe getting married and having children with Brother Luo Xi earlier... Aina was calculating her little schemes oh so clearly in her mind. She knew all too well that the words Luo Xi had said to her were just comfort in the context of that moment; three to four years was far too long, who knew what might come along in that time, just like that terrifyingly strong Dragon Lady. As long as Sister Weier won, then she won! "Little Fengling, lets play another round with Ainas Mother..." Aina turned back to play a couple more card games with the daughter she had just acknowledged, only to find that Fengling was gone. sea??h th ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "???" Where did she go? A roasted chicken shop. In this world, chickens are a type of bird that can fly. Apart from laying breeds used for eggs, there were also breeds specially reared for meat consumption. One of the few good things that Anderesponsible for bringing the Snowworm disasterdid was teach the town many real-world things, saving Luo Xi a lot of trouble. Inside the shop, Luo Xi and Weier sat facing each other, and of course, their tails were no longer entwined. Doing that inside the shop felt somehow weird. "Freak, whats with you today?" Weier felt that Luo Xis attitude towards her was somewhat off today. It felt too good. Luo Xi smiled and said, "Because I like you, Cat Cat. Isnt it nice having the chance to go out together just the two of us?" A blush that had just faded from Weiers face climbed back up again, and her heart thumped heavily. What was this guy talking about! Such a playboy, having so much fun with that Ai Xue, and yet being able to say he likes her without any hesitation... The owner, a Minotaur with horns on his head, came over with a beaming smile and a booklet, saying, "For couples, we offer a twenty percent discount." Even though this couple looked somewhat mismatched in age, it wasnt a big issue. As long as the customersno, as long as love was presenthe could serve delicious dishes. Without looking at the menu, Luo Xi said, "Just bring all the signature dishes." "Alright, here are some appetizers for you two to enjoy first." The owner brought over several plates of nuts and appetizers. Luo Xi cracked open a nut and held it up to Cat Cats mouth, saying, "Open up." Cat Cat always refused his offerings, and he felt it was necessary to correct this bad habit. Weier hesitated for a moment. Without rejecting, she swallowed hard, closed her eyes nervously, and cautiously opened her mouth. Luo Xi gently placed the nut inside and took the opportunity to pet Weiers delicate chin, feeling as smooth as petting Xiao Bai at home. Weier opened her eyes, full of dissatisfaction. She intended to scold loudly, but under Luo Xis touch, her body had gone somewhat limp. Cat Cat reluctantly swallowed the nut and complained softly, "Dont just touch me like that, there are so many people watching." It was now past ten-thirty, and customers had started to come in. Luo Xi laughed, "So its okay when we get back?" "Not okay!" "Oh..." Luo Xi showed a disappointed expression. After a moment, a hesitant voice came from across the table, "Well, its not completely out of the question." Luo Xi pondered and said, "Forget it, given how unwilling you seem, Cat Cat, I might as well go pet Aina instead." Chapter 507 - 307: A Date with Cat Cat Alone, Lolita’s Mom is also a Lolita (6k)_4 Chapter 507: Chapter 307: A Date with Cat Cat Alone, Lolitas Mom is also a Lolita (6k)_4Weier urgently said, "You cant lay a hand on Aina!" Luo Xi rested his finger on his chin, "What if I really want to?" Weier hesitated, then resolutely said, "Mom asked me to protect Aina. If you want to hurt her, youll have to step over my body first!" Luo Xi shrugged and said, "No, youre making me sound like a pervert. I just want to pet Ainas chin. Ive touched her tail so many times, whats wrong with touching her chin?" Weier: "..." When she thought about it, it did make sense. In terms of the number of times Luo Xi had touched a tail, Aina was far ahead of her. The cat-eared girl sadly thought that as an older sister, she had failed to protect her younger sister. She really had been neglectful. "Cat-eared girl, what are you thinking about?" Luo Xi waved his hand in front of Weier. "Meow!" Weier bit down on his arm. Luo Xi: "..." Miss Cat-eared girl, are you also a dog?! Sar?h the N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Of course, with his current physical condition, being bitten didnt hurt or itch at all, but he still pretended to be in pain. It took a good while for Weier to let go of her bite. She looked satisfied at Luo Xis pained expression, "Ill bite you to death, you pervert. Stop thinking about doing bad things to my sister all the time!" Luo Xi quickly laughed and said, Yes, yes, yes. He thought that the cat-eared girl at the moment was both cute and adorable. "Dad... Daddy..." A soft call suddenly rang out beside them. Startled, Luo Xi turned his head and saw a long cherry-colored ahoge swaying. The mysterious girl he named Fengling, with somewhat empty eyes, stood beside the table. "Fengling, when did you come over? Wheres your... Inas mother?" Luo Xi moved to make room for Fengling to sit beside him, but the cat-eared girl across from him was quick to pull the girl to her side. This guy was known to be a loli-con interested in Ai Xue when she was very small, so she couldnt let him eye such a cute girl. Besides, she had also called her Weier mom, so it was right for her to take care of her. Luo Xi pursed his lips. The cat-eared girls action made him quite sad. "Ina... Mom?" "Weier sister, is that little one with you guys?" Ainas huffing breath was heard outside the shop as she pushed the door open and finally relaxed when she saw the pink-haired figure beside her sister. Thank goodness she hadnt been lost. The little Wolf Girl sat down beside Luo Xis seat, her tea-golden eyes looked at the girl opposite her, and she complained, "Fengling, you shouldnt walk off by yourself. What if you met a bad person and were kidnapped?" "..." Fengling tilted her head. The shop owner, seeing two new customers had arrived, came up to Luo Xi and asked, "Are these two also dining? Then the couples special meal I mentioned earlier might not be enough..." "Couples meal?" Aina blinked and said, "Then give Aina and brother one as well." Shop owner: "?" What is this? The owner looked at the young wolf-ear, wolf-tail Lolita and then at the youth sitting beside her. There was also the white-haired cat-eared girl. And another even smaller girl with pink hair... Why did they all seem to be little ones? Fengling softly said again, "Daddy..." The owner looked at Luo Xi with widened eyes, "Is this your daughter?" Luo Xi: "...Essentially, yes." "Yeah, Aina is brothers wife, and this is my daughter," said the Little Wolf Girl, hugging Luo Xis arm without hesitation. She even intertwined her tail with Luo Xis Dragon Tail behind him. The owner was utterly shocked. This young man was really... really something. And a daughter, no less... Outrageous. Still, he only wanted to make money; as long as there was money to be made, all was well. After the owner left, Weier looked a little upset and helpless at her sister, who was snuggled up to Luo Xi across from her. It was a pity that their one-on-one atmosphere had been disturbed. A snow-white cat tail stretched under the table and wound itself around the two entangled tails. Weier peeled a nut and placed it in Fenglings mouth beside her. After all, who asked her to be the older sister? At the blocked residential area further up the ring road. The Hollow Flower that connected to the Forest of Elves suddenly opened, and a grey bird flew out, tumbling to the ground. ---- Just writing some everyday scenes with Cat Cat~ Chapter 508 - 308: Being Entangled with Sisters is Not Bad, Little Bird’s Plea for Help (5.5k)_1 Chapter 508: Chapter 308: Being Entangled with Sisters is Not Bad, Little Birds Plea for Help (5.5k)_1Although Luo Xis date with Weier was disrupted by Aina and the others, he felt only a little bit helpless; after all, there would be plenty of such opportunities in the future. And mating with two "sisters" wouldnt be so bad... (strike that) Without needing to touch with hands, the interwoven tails conveyed different fluffy sensations, continuously increasing Luo Xis Happiness Level. [Ding! Your Happiness Level +22] [Ding! Your Happiness Level +33] Amidst the pleasant emotions, Luo Xi lowered his head to look at the pink-haired girl sitting diagonally opposite him, whose ahoge occasionally twitched a few times. This girl just didnt seem right the more he looked at her. Even with Ainas keen sense of smell, they lost track of her; and then there was last nights move from the bed which went unnoticed by everyone, ignoring Moonflows time-stopping power, and the fuzzy memories... Luo Xi had strong suspicions that this girl might well be some hidden powerful character. For now, lets just keep her around; maybe shell be useful later? [Note: Damn Traveler, you guessed right! Just overthrow her and you, damn Traveler, can go to jail~?] Get lost. No matter who this girl was, given her youthful appearance, Luo Xi couldnt bring himself to harm her. Dont think just because the girls around him have Lolita figures, hes really a perverted Loli-con! [Note: Little Wolf Girl reminds you that the Traveler who promised to marry her must keep the promise~ (or else, machete warning)] Luo Xi: "..." Thats different! Back then, it happened by mistake... S~ea??h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Luo Xi made up excuses for himself for a while, then stopped. Forget it; too lazy to make more. No need for excuses; it was exactly because of those past mistakes that Luo Xi had such a harmonious relationship with the two sisters now. Fengling tilted her head adorably. Her blue, star-like eyes mirrored all of Luo Xis expressions in her mind. [Ding! Traveler, an outsider has unexpectantly entered the area protected by the Belgri Divine Tree.] With the appearance of the text notification, Luo Xi frowned. Outsider? Those who enter through the town gate normally dont count as outsiders; its probably those who teleport directly into the city using things like Hollow Flowers that are considered outsiders. Luo Xi closed his eyes, his consciousness spreading out along the Belgri Divine Tree, encompassing the entire city. A few seconds later, he found the intruder. His expression immediately turned strange. He thought it might be someone from Winter City. It was a grey-feathered bird? It seemed somewhat familiar. The bird was struggling to breathe on the roof beside the Hollow Flower, its abdomen rising and falling rapidlyobviously, it was in a bad way. Luo Xi remembered the Elf from the Elf Clan who had accidentally visited the city not long ago. This grey bird seemed to be her pet. Could she have returned? Given the birds dangerous condition, perhaps things werent as Luo Xi had thought. Seeing the bird breathing in much more than out and nearly at its end, Luo Xi casually beckoned and teleported the grey bird from the rooftop to his hand. Aina and Weier were stunned. What appeared in Luo Xis hand? Amid the sisters astonished gazes, Luo Xi hesitated for a moment, took a small saucer, made a small cut on his finger, squeezed a drop of blood into the saucer, and then fed it to the birds beak. It wasnt that he didnt want to use healing scrolls and such. The gifts from Liya had nearly all been used up. Since the Belgri Divine Tree didnt have the ability to heal others, the only thing in Luo Xis hands that could be used for quick recovery was his own blood. [Tip: As a Variant Human with Legendary Dragon Species talent undergoing Mutation metamorphosis, all your bodily fluids contain powerful life forces. Since you have not reached Third-tier Mutation, your fluids are not infectious yet. They can be ingested as medicine and can also enhance others physiques.] This was the texts evaluation for Luo Xi. Although he didnt like to admit it, Luo Xi had indeed become a human-shaped panacea, and because his level of Mutation wasnt too deep, his blood didnt have the strong erosive effect like Dragon Mamas, where normal peopleeven sublimated personsrisked failing Mutation and turning into monsters if they used Florecias blood. No wonder Ai Xue was so keen on it.... [Note: That is the future that the girl finally captured!] ? Luo Xi had a plethora of questions in his mind. Damn Text, are you telling me youve been watching something you shouldnt have?! Of course, he knew that entity wouldnt admit it. If a god got caught watching dubious Anime, that would probably be the end of their divine life, right? [Note: I, I havent seen such things! ()!] Luo Xi was satisfied as he looked away from Damn Text. The bird that was close to death in his hand, once Luo Xi fed it a drop of blood, improved considerably. Weier then asked, "Why did you suddenly catch a little bird?" Only Aina furrowed her brow tightly. The scent carried by this bird... Luo Xi thought for a moment and said, "Do you remember the fox-eared Elf who came here last time" "Its that Great Fox!" Aina answered first, "This little bird was on that Great Fox back then!" Luo Xi: "..." As expected of Aina. With a thoughtful look, Luo Xi observed the little bird he had placed on the table. Chapter 509 - 308: Being Entangled with Sisters is Not Bad, Little Bird’s Plea for Help (5.5k)_2 Chapter 509: Chapter 308: Being Entangled with Sisters is Not Bad, Little Birds Plea for Help (5.5k)_2"It suddenly burst into the town, and its life signs were very poor just now, but there doesnt seem to be any wounds on its body... Could it be exhausted to this extent?" "Guest, please dont play with pets here." The owners voice came from the side: "We dont allow small animals here, especially birds of this kind." Even birds that are well trained cant shake off the habit of defecating everywhere. Luo Xi said, "Sorry, is the food ready? Well take it to go." Although he was the lord of this town, he wasnt the kind of person to abuse his power to bully others, and for the time being, Luo Xi didnt want to reveal his identity. A few minutes later, Luo Xi carried the takeout barbecue, and together with a few girls, returned to the manor. The little bird had already woken up in his hand. "Chirpchirpchirp" Upon seeing Luo Xi, the grey birds bright little eyes expressed an almost human-like joy; it had flown a great distance to return to the place of their initial strange encounter. To be able to fly back here, it had been indiscriminately roared at by some lord-level Origin Beast along the way, damaging its internal organs, and the subsequent reluctant flight for nearly a hundred kilometers had compounded its injuries. This was the reason the bird was practically half-dead when Luo Xi found it. "What are you saying?" Luo Xi had a bit of a headache. He didnt understand bird language, after all. "Cat Cat, do you understand it?" Weier rolled her eyes at Luo Xi and said, "Im a cat, I dont understand bird language... wait, Im not even a cat!" Aina said uncertainly, "Aina seems to understand..." Luo Xi: "???" When did Aina expand her range of languages? He could understand a wolf understanding dog language, but birds and dogs were nowhere near related... "Maybe... its because of this leaf." Aina pulled out a jade leaf from her clothing. Ever since she saw the bird, the leaf given to her by Little Lin had been continuously heating up. "The leaf..." Luo Xi took the leaf from Ainas hand. Sarch* The N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. He hadnt paid much attention to the leaf given to Aina by the antlered Little Lolita Lin at first.

Strangely enough, though the text had no translation function, Luo Xi naturally understood what the bird was saying as soon as he picked it up. "The girl gave it to us," Luo Xi said. "ChirpIs that so, please save my master, Im willing to give you everything I can offer..." Luo Xi frowned and said, "What happened to your master?" From some information obtained from the antlered father and daughter, the origins of that little elf fox seemed to be not simple either. "Chirp chirp(The black water, very terrifying... It swallowed the entire city along with my master.)" Originally, the grey bird didnt want to come here to seek help from this strange human. But this was the only place it could think of. During its travels with its master, which lasted more than five years, it only stayed in little villages and didnt know any powerful beings. Almost one day had passed since its master was engulfed by that Black Tide, but it didnt want to give up any possibility! [Ding! Youve triggered a side quest: Jade Grey Spirit Birds Request] [Quest Brief: A little bird has used all its strength to come here and ask for your help to save her master. Will you accept this quest?] [Reward: Favorability with the Jade Grey Spirit Bird +50] [Description: A disaster seems to have occurred in the Emerald Forest. Traveler, its time to put your connections and strength to the test!] Luo Xi: "..." He didnt have any damn connections. Oh, the Emerald Forest, then its no problem. With the terrifying speed of Dragon Mama, as long as the distance isnt too great, she could easily make a round trip in a short time. Luo Xi asked, "Is your master still alive?" "ChirpDefinitely! Master said that since she left the royal city, she has gone through many dangers. Even during the most perilous time, that night in the Emerald Forest when an Origin Beast Uprising happened, the entire town was destroyed, allowing her to escape." "I see," Luo Xi said. "Chirp(Thank you)" The grey bird rested its head on the table. "But I refuse." The grey bird: "???" It thought the human was going to help it... Just as anger began to well up inside of it, the birds mood sunk again. Indeed, what right did it have to ask someone else to take on such danger? They didnt even know what the Black Tide was. It, however, knew something about it. That power that engulfed the Divine Tree, terrifying and absolute, must be the so-called Origin Disaster. The master may truly be already... Aina pursed her lips and said softly, "Brother Luo Xi, Aina promised Little Lin to go look for that sister..." Aina stopped midway through her sentence. Making Brother Luo Xi risk his life for another woman... Even if Brother Luo Xi wouldnt truly die in this world, she didnt want to see such a thing happen. Chapter 510 - 308: Being Entangled with Sisters is Not Bad, Little Bird’s Plea for Help (5.5k)_3 Chapter 510: Chapter 308: Being Entangled with Sisters is Not Bad, Little Birds Plea for Help (5.5k)_3But, but is it really okay to do that? "Jiu (Sorry, it was presumptuous of me to think that way.)" Huihui flapped its wings and flew towards the window from the desk. Although its injuries had been cured by the Lord using some method, it had never felt its body so heavy. It came with hope and left with despair. Regardless, it had to go back and check. Perhaps the elves of the Emerald Forest would handle the problems there? Of course, that was just a bit of wishful thinking on its part. If that was truly a premonition of an Origin Disaster... "Did I say you could go?" The young mans voice suddenly rang in Huihuis ear. It hadnt flown far when it crashed into a golden ring and then found itself back in the manors room. "Jiu?! (What do you want to do?)" The bird turned its head in shock towards Luo Xi. Luo Xi spread his hands and said, "You were almost dead just now. Healing fee, handling fee, all together ten gold coins. How will you pay? In installments, or in full?" Huihui: "..." It was just a bird! Where would it get gold coins for this human. "Luo Xi..." Sarch* The Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Weier also felt Luo Xi was being a bit too much; she didnt care whether he went or not, but bullying such a small bird seemed somewhat unethical... Luo Xi pinched Cat Cats tail. He wasnt so idle as to ask a small bird for money just for the heck of it. [Jade Grey Spirit Bird] [Race: Bird Origin Beast (Second-tier)] [Favorability: 20 (Grateful to you for saving it, but disappointed that you are unwilling to save its master)] [Description: This little bird was originally just an ordinary First-tier bird Origin Beast. After accompanying a girl who was often surrounded by luck for many years, the bird gradually became permeated with a lucky aura. As a result of this luck blessing, those accompanied by it would gain tremendous good fortune (Hidden Attribute: Luck +30)] A hidden attribute of +30 luck, hey! Attributes like temperament and luck are not visible in text, but these attributes clearly cannot be wildly boosted like other basic attributes can. So far, Luo Xi had only acquired hidden attributes that increased temperament. Ainas leaf also had a luck attribute of +10. It was hard to imagine both an item and a small bird imbued with such a high bonus to luck simply from being touched by an aura. Just how high was the luck attribute of that elf fox? However, this was obviously not something Luo Xi should be concerned with right now. He raised his hand, gesturing for the bird to hop on. Huihui hesitated for a moment but still chose to fly onto Luo Xis hand. "Lets go check out that place you mentioned," said Luo Xi. "Really?" The birds eyes lit up. "Theres a condition," Luo Xi smiled and said, "You said youd do anything. No matter what the situation is after we go there, you have to be my bird... Bah, you have to stay with me for a period of time, at least for a year." "Stay with you... Okay!" Huihui hesitated for a second before agreeing. If its master did indeed encounter disaster, then it would have nowhere to go; without a home, it didnt matter where it went. But if its master was alright, then it... it would deal with that when the time came. Luo Xi smiled and pulled out a piece of parchment from the Void. "So, shall we sign a contract?" "..." Weier and Aina watched in confusion as Luo Xi taught the little bird how to write its name with its beak. They couldnt figure out what Luo Xi was up to at all. Does this guy also want to keep a pet in this world? The Red Flame Mountain Range Volcano Colony. Luo Xi stepped out of the Hollow Flower with the little bird, Weier, and Aina. He took out the long-unused flying vessel and threw Spark onto it, taking control of the flying vessel. He hadnt intended to bring the two sisters along, but they insisted on coming, so Luo Xi could only try to provide them with a safer vehicle. However, Luo Xi waited for a while and still didnt see Florecia come over. Strange. With Dragon Mamas perceptive ability, she should have noticed his arrival before long and skillfully give him the familiar snow-white, warm, and soft head-burying gesture. Roar! Suddenly, the volcano group beneath them began to shake violently, with large amounts of magma erupting. Luo Xi squinted toward the sea, and suddenly he saw at the edge of his vision what appeared to be a huge red figure moving through the sea, constantly hammering out some strange, unidentified creatures. Why had Dragon Mama gone into the sea again? Luo Xi fell silent for a moment. He decided to go over there and check the situation out himself first. The little bird said it was a precursor to the Flood DisasterWatelit. Missions involving the Origin Disaster usually came with high rewards, and even if the little bird didnt agree to his request, Luo Xi would still go there to have a look. Sparks voice came from the flying vessel, "Master, Spark has taken control of the vessel, please come aboard quickly!" Luo Xi looked at the bird on his arm and asked, "Do you know where to go?" If the bird didnt know where to go, then Luo Xi would just go back and let it fly them from the beginning again. The grey bird replied, "Masters leaf might guide the way." "If this leaf still works, does it mean your master might not be dead?" "Yes, its possible..." A glimmer of hope shone in the little birds eyes. Luo Xi thought for a moment. Curious to test his current luck, he wished in his heart to go see the scene of the incident and let the leaf drift away, eventually landing on the ground. Theyd fly in the direction the leafs stem was pointing. "Cat Cat, Aina, get on." Luo Xi wanted to bring the two sisters onto the flying vessel, but this time they were not so willing. The traumatic experience from last time was still vivid in their minds... Luo Xi pointed to another Hollow Flower that stood side by side, "Why dont you go back?" Still, Weier and Aina shook their heads. In the end, they boarded the flying vessel, albeit reluctantly. Amidst several terrified screams, the flying vessels speed was maximized as it sharply ascended and then surged forward at a speed beyond the sound barrier, making it hard to believe this was the velocity a propeller aircraft-like flying vessel, could achieve. Fortunately, Weier and Aina had already experienced Florecias true maximum speed. The Original White Flower Homeland. When everything had been eroded away, leaving only a mess of land, this land had become a permanently unusable forbidden zone. The Disaster Church, Archbishop Diitus, and the Pope of the Church of Truth, Ande Adenis, followed for a few dozen kilometers, watching from a distance the region that was being eroded by the dark waters. Ande adjusted his monocle and said, "Do you see? The initial Second-tier precursor of the Origin Disaster, we escalated it to a normal precursor. I dont know what you initially planned to do, but if it werent for us, your newly promoted auxiliary bishop would have been directly suppressed by the controller of this town." "You dont need to point that out, we would have managed on our own. However, I truly witnessed the strength of your Church of Truth." Diitus, silent for a moment, turned his head to look in the direction of the Eternal World Tree and said, "Those elves really are lazy, or should I say cowardly? Not a single one dared to come over here, did they?" "Who would dare to come forward in the face of an Origin Disaster?" Ande said with a smile, "Shouldnt you who worship disasters understand better than us? The smaller precursor, the precursor, the partial arrival, the complete form. The more humanity stirs it, the stronger the Origin Disaster may become. These calamities that came into being alongside the rules of the world, if we could control them, then..." Whoosh! Amidst a strange sound, to Andes astonishment, he saw within those dark waters a bright and splendid light kindling. Under the intertwining gold and green, the profound black water was being penetrated by the luminous glow. Chapter 511 - 309 : Bustard, Let Go of That Little Lolita... Little Fox, let me come in! (6.4k) _1 Chapter 511: Chapter 309 : Bustard, Let Go of That Little Lolita... Little Fox, let me come in! (6.4k) _1Diitus was utterly astonished. In that black tide capable of devouring everything, any surviving entity had to be at least a Tier Five powerhouse, or possess epic-level equipment or materials. As the golden-green glow receded, it seemed to outline a petite humanoid figure within the black tide, resembling a girl. A person? But there were no longer any Tier Five beings in this city. Count Ismure was presumed dead, being merely a Tier Four sublimated person. After a successful ambush by their own people, and despite the release of a distress spell tag, it was quickly disrupted by their well-coordinated efforts. The power supplied by the Divine Tree was also severed by the influence from the Disaster. So, after a nightlong stalemate, Count Ismure, unable to harness Divine Tree Power, could only watch as the ceremony of the bishop-in-waiting was completed, bringing forth the precursor of the Flood Disaster. The emergence of the precursor of Flood Disaster Waterlit devastated the Ismure Divine Tree from within, causing the True Canon to disappear as well. After being engulfed by the Flood, the outcome was evident. Everyone swallowed by the Flood would have their Yuan Su entirely sealed, and even Tier Four Transcendents were no exception. Under the Origin Disaster, all beings are equal. At least Diitus was certain that at that time, Count Ismure had no other contingencies; after all, the very wife who betrayed him, whom he cherished deeply, was one of their own and the key enabler for the bishop-in-waiting to arrange the advancement ceremony in the city. Now, having single-handedly invoked the precursor of the Flood, the bishop-in-waiting could be said to have bypassed the Tier Four Erosive Waters and reached the threshold of the Tier Five Black Tide Disaster. Diitus shifted his gaze from the inexplicable light and looked at the mysterious man beside him wearing a monocle over his left eye. Why would the Church of Truths Pope possess such a technique? This was something even the great churches that worshipped the Origin Disaster and had a history of ten thousand years could not achieve. He seemed to have said he was the 58th Pope of the Church of Truth? Sear?h the n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The history of his church should be shorter than theirs... Wait a minute. Truth... if one looks back at some ancient texts, there have been descriptions of truth even in the distant past. Now the Archbishop of the Disaster Church suddenly felt wary. Who exactly are these people? "Whats the matter, Archbishop Diitus?" Ande nudged his monocle and, without blinking an eye, stared ahead at the anomaly that appeared in the Black Tide. "Arent you going to check out what that is? Whats the use of looking at me?" "There is no need for us to go over there," Diitus said, smiling as he turned his head, "Our newly promoted bishop will naturally go and investigate." He temporarily hid his suspicion of this man in his heart. Regardless, their current objective was the same. Since they were unable to conquer Emerald City on their own, uniting their strength was indeed necessary. After that, it would be up to each individuals capabilities to take the city. Halide Clan Adler was the bishop-elect of the Disaster Church. Of course, now he could be considered a bishop. Because the lesser precursor he summoned became a precursor, the feedback of power from the Origin Disaster was considerable, enabling him to break through the Tier Four barrier and become a near step into Tier Five Black Tide Disaster. It was only near because the necessary materials had yet to arrive and further supplementation was needed. As an emissary of natural disasters, an apostle of the Origin Disaster, Halide could to some extent guide the force of the Origin Disaster, allowing the Black Tide to engulf those towns. However, Halide had no such intentions for the time being. A destroyed city held no value for the elves anymore. Logically, the precursors of the Origin Disaster should not expand easily; the elves must be watching the situation unfold. As long as the precursor of the Flood remained in place, the elves would not risk venturing here. This was why he refrained from directing the Black Tide to ravage at will. If the elves of Emerald City became desperate, they also had the courage to confront the Origin Disaster. "Hmm? Whats that?" Halide was momentarily stunned by a sudden flash of light within the Flood. If Count Ismure had died, who else could be surviving here? Halide stepped upon the Black Tide, heading toward the source of the radiance. The tide slowly parted, revealing the true form of the figure hidden within. A Variant fox species girl, clutching her tail, was curled up inside a golden-green spherical barrier. Leaves grew on the barrier, emitting a warm green lightclearly, it was these leaves and the golden barrier that had resisted the erosive Black Tide. Halides eyes lit up. Could it be some sort of extremely precious defensive Yuan Qi? When ones luck arrives, they can find treasures simply by stooping as they walk. Ande, from a distance, also saw the scene unfolding here. He frowned and said, "That thing doesnt feel like a Yuan Qi to me... Hmm?" There seemed to be something in the southern sky heading this way. Was that... an airship? Has someone noticed whats happening here and dared to join the fray, unafraid of death? Wait, coming from the south? Isnt there only a few cities to the south? Three hundred kilometers away is the ocean, and those cities are mere small townscould they possibly produce someone confident enough to face the Origin Disaster? Chapter 512 - 309 Bustard, Let Go of That Little Lolita...Little Fox, Let Me Do It! (6.4k)_2 Chapter 512: Chapter 309 Bustard, Let Go of That Little Lolita...Little Fox, Let Me Do It! (6.4k)_2Halide also noticed that the airship on the other side was flying toward them. He gave a cold laugh, ignoring the foolhardy people on the airship, and reached out to touch the barrier. He couldnt allow the girl to have a chance to escape. Such high-tier equipment and Yuan Qi were coveted even by figures at the Archbishop level; these were treasures beyond reach. Crack! His hand was sharply repelled. Halide had anticipated this. He commanded a portion of the Black Tide to coalesce, focusing its infiltration on one specific area of the barrier. Soon, his method proved effective; the emerald green leaves rapidly withered, and the golden barrier shattered into countless light particles. Inside, the fox-eared girl, who was hugging her own tail and had a vacant look in her eyes, blankly raised her head to look at the man approaching her. Who was he? Was he here to kill her? If that was the case... that didnt seem too bad. Because of her existence, the entire beautiful town had suffered a catastrophic blow, and everyone had died. Feya recalled her past memories. Those people who had died on her journey because of her... Those memories brought her no sweetness; instead, they were full of bitterness when she thought of them. Because of her, her mother had lost too much, and many people had continually left her side. She shouldnt have appeared in this world in the first place. If death was her destiny, then she would gladly accept this ending. The fox-eared girl lifted her head, maybe due to excessive consumption of strength, her dazzling blonde hair began to fade under the Tianguang, gradually changing towards platinum. Her pointed ears, which had been disguised, came into view, and her emerald eyes were filled with exhaustion. "Kill me," she said. "Kill you? Wait, are you an Elf? A Variant Elf?" Halide looked at the fox-eared girl with a puzzled expression. Variant Elves were very rare. Feya kept silent. She just wanted to quietly await the arrival of death. After all, this was an Origin Disaster. Even her luck probably wouldnt be able to protect her now, right? Halide didnt think much of it and said, "Hand over that high-tier Yuan Qi to me, and I will give you a quick end." "High-tier Yuan Qi?" Feya looked blankly at the man who might be the creator of this disaster. Where would she have high-tier Yuan Qi from? "You hand it over when I tell you to. Forget it, Ill find it myself soon enough." Shrouded by part of the Black Tide, Halide reached out towards the fox-eared girls head. Even though she looked frail, he felt no pity; Elves already had long lifespans, with extremely slow physical ageing. Its said that the last Elf Emperor lived three to four thousand years, while the strongest of Humanity could live up to only a thousand years, even with the blessing of the Eternal World Tree. This was the limit of Sublimation. No matter how much one sublimated, they could never really break through the lifespan limits of their race. Only by undergoing Mutation, or following the path of an Origin Disasterbecoming a Disastercould one truly extend their lifespan. Yet, just as Halides hand was about to touch the girls head, a voice suddenly spoke up behind him: "Bustard, let go of that little Lolita... little fox! Ill take over!" S~ea??h the ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "???" Confused, Halide turned around, only to see a fist wrapped in black scales and blazing red flames swinging towards his face. The heavy punch sent his head, along with the rest of him, flying to one side. Ssss In the surging Black Tide, Halide steadied himself atop it, angrily looking at the newcomer, then at the airship hovering in the distance. Did this person abandon the airship and come here directly? With such speed, teleportation? But teleportation wouldnt leave him without any reaction at all! The mans Dragon Horn, Dragon Tail, Dragon Wings, and the dense Dragon Scales covering his body clearly indicated a Dragon Species Mutant Patient who was beyond cure. Soon, he would either become a dragon or a monstrous creature that had lost all reason. From a distance on the mountain peak, Ande twitched at the corner of his mouth, suddenly wanting to curse aloud. Why is it always you? He had suffered at this guys hands several times already. And it wasnt just a small loss. If it werent for the great Lords Blessing protecting him, he guessed he wouldnt have enough lives to die. With his recent string of bad luck, it was better not to clash with this guy for now. Pushing his monocle, Ande said, "Lord Diitus, I will take my leave now. You should be careful with that person. If possible, I suggest you mark him as a priority target, because he might be the biggest obstacle to achieving our ideals." After speaking, Ande departed through a blue ring of teleportation, leaving behind a bewildered old man. Diitus looked toward the young man who had confronted his master. The fluctuations of Yuan Su were not strong... It wasnt just Halide, who was basically at Tier Five, that could take him down; even someone who had just entered Tier Four might be able to do so. Halide had only been caught off guard a moment ago. "What does that Archbishop mean?" ... Luo Xi bent down to encircle the waist of the fox-eared Lolita, trying to make a run for it with her. After that punch just now, Luo Xi had confirmed that fighting was not an option. Let alone that Spark was still on the airship, even with Sparks enhancement, he wouldnt stand a chance against this expanse of black water. Even after a time-stopped Dragonization punch, he had only dealt a painless blow to the man. Chapter 513 - 309: Bustard, Let Go of That Little Lolita... Little Fox, let me come in!

You possess considerable courage, keep it up~] The Snowice Disaster prelude quest triggered last time in Winter City was at the Legendary level. This time, its also a prelude to an Origin Disaster but only at the Epic level, it seems that this "someone is guiding" has caused the evaluation to drop, putting it on the same level as the aftermath of a locust disaster. But Luo Xi didnt feel relaxed inside. The fact that this thing could be controlled by Transcendents was seriously outrageous. No wonder Hiss wanted to abandon the title of Divine Tree Holder to become a Tier Five Snowice Disaster. He flapped his wings lightly, intending to take to the skies, only to find that his body seemed to have lost all strength, and a pain that was hard to suppress radiated from within him. Halide, watching from a distance and seeing Luo Xis expression contort with pain, laughed manically, "I have surrounded the area with droplets of water, and as long as you breathe, you will inhale them. How dare you make a move? Ah?! As a Variant, shouldnt you hate the people of these towns, yet you still want to avenge them?" Halide had assumed that Luo Xi had come for revenge for the destruction of the White Blossom Township. Pressing on his chest, Luo Xi managed a strained smile, "Revenge? Im simply fulfilling a commission." "No need for more words, die." With a wave of his hand, the receded Black Tide surged forward like a true tidal wave. At that moment, aboard the airship, a lot of metallic liquid seeped out, congealed into spheres, and plummeted rapidly towards the ground below. Inside the airship, Weier (n) gripped the control stick in the pilot seat, and although Spark had told her it would maintain a hover state without her intervention, she was still very scared. Aina was also constantly peering down from the co-pilot seat. She wanted to know what was happening below. Both of them were unaware that, at that moment, atop the airship, a ghostly pink-haired girl stood erect, also staring down at the scene below. ... sea??h th n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Emerald City. As the royal city of the noble Elf race, the Eternal World TreeEmerald, stood like a massive column supporting the heavens and earth. Translucent light green radiance enshrouded the entire grand city from a kilometer high, bestowing its blessing over the nearly eight million population below. Among them, four hundred thousand were Elves, while the remaining seven million plus were ordinary humans. Mutant Patients were not allowed near the royal city unless they were Craftsmen with Grandmaster-level skills. Within the most inner circle of the royal palace in Emerald City. A beautiful woman with an emerald green gemstone crown quickened her pace down the deserted corridor, her luxurious gold-green sheer dress perfectly accentuating her enchanting and slender body. Her dazzling golden hair cascaded down her back, and her beautiful visage seemed almost too perfect to be real. The pointed ears peering through her golden locks revealed her Elf heritage, while her cold and profound green eyes gazed ahead at the end of the corridor. Upon reaching the end, she didnt stop but continued to move forward. Her body passed through an invisible barrier, causing ripples to appear on the walls ahead. And then, she vanished into thin air. She arrived at the gate of a narrow courtyard. Sweet sounds of a harp resonated from within, eliciting a pleasant mood in the listener. Yet, those who stopped and listened carefully could discern the subtle threads of sorrow woven throughout. The woman paused for a moment, then pushed open the courtyard gate and stepped inside. The music ceased abruptly. "Kureya, youve come." In the courtyard, a dreamlike Elf woman set aside the harp in her hands. She lifted her head, her eyes of the same hue locking onto the uninvited woman who had barged in, with a faint sadness lingering in her gaze. What was once a close relationship between the two. Had now come to this point. Kureya glanced at the woman indifferently, "Lisiti, many incidents have arisen in the Emerald Forest lately. Just a few days ago, numerous Fallen Divine Trees appeared unexpectedly, and Alexilita from the Colorful Dragon Emperors has shown up as well. Along with the emergence of a group of strange humans who can resurrect, I need the power of the Mother Tree Origin controlled by you to work with me in dealing with potential surprises ahead." Lisiti shook her head, "I will not cooperate with you." Unlike the other Eternal World Trees, such as Noahs Origin treating the Pope as a servant, the Elf race is considered the children of the Emerald Tree, with the royal family having direct rights of communication with its Origin. Each generation of Elf Emperors, even possessing the ability to control the Origin in combat. Even though the power bestowed upon them is just a minuscule fraction, it is enough to make them invincible beneath the level of an Origin Disaster. Apart from the Elf Emperor, other Elves could also be granted power from the Origin. Chapter 514 - 309: Bustard, Let Go of That Little Lolita... Little Fox, Let Me Come In! (6.4k)_4 Chapter 514: Chapter 309: Bustard, Let Go of That Little Lolita... Little Fox, Let Me Come In! (6.4k)_4There are two ways to be recognized by the Origin of Emerald. The first is to formally ascend the throne with perfect rites, and the power of the Origin will accompany the crowning with the crown. The second is subject to Its mood, and if one day It takes a liking to a down-and-out ordinary Elf, perhaps It will grant a portion of Its power, after which, for that Elf, the difference in caste and status would be as if heaven and earth had turned upside down. Legend has it that someone who hunted a Variant Elf received the Divine Trees blessing in a dream, which is why so many Elves are passionate about hunting Variant kin to offer to the Mother Tree. Lisiti, as one of the daughters of the last generations Elf Emperor, although she had not been crowned, was fortunate enough to receive a portion of the Origins power, and even the power she wielded, under normal circumstances, was only slightly less than that of Kureya, the current Empress. Kureya narrowed her eyes as she looked at her half-sister mothered by a different woman. "Are you still holding a grudge against me for what I did to Ilisha?" Lisiti remained silent. Kureya said in a deep voice, "I need to remind you again, its been more than ten years since you let that bastard go, my patience has its limits, dont continue to be at odds with me over a mongrel, wasting your talent. With your abilities, youre more than capable of governing a Guard City!" In a soft voice, Lisiti said, "Ilisha is not a mongrel." "She is a mongrel birthed by you and some unknown man!" "She is not!" Lisiti stood up from her vine chair, a sharp fierceness seeping into her gaze, all the plants in the small courtyard began to grow silently and wildly at this moment. Kureya naturally sensed the abnormality in the small courtyard. Her voice was cool as she said, "Are you sure you want to take action against me, my dear sister?" Lisitis body stiffened. The growth of all plants reversed instantly, and the courtyard returned to calm. Kureya, with her eyes cast down, said, "The Mother Trees Origin has informed me that, three thousand eight hundred kilometers away from the royal city, a second Origin Disaster, the prelude to the Flood Disaster Waterlit, has appeared in Ismure Territory; Ismure Territory was destroyed, you should know what that means." Lisitis expression changed, shocked she said, "You mean Ismure Territory? The prelude to the Flood Disaster destroyed the city? Impossible, the prelude at most... wait, could it be from the inside..." "You guessed it right." Kureyas lips curled into a ruthless smile, "That Count Ismure was so sympathetic to the Variants, not even setting up city walls, who knows how many ill-intentioned things have mixed in over the years, and for the Flood Disaster to appear internally and engulf the city, I suspect its the Disaster Churchs doing." "Disaster, Truth, Fallen Beings, as well as those shadow merchants who fear not the chaos in the world, the times really are becoming messier, even here in Emerald City, I am not sure I can control the whole situation. Lisiti, I need your help." This time, Kureya was serious. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Lisiti was silent for a long time. Suddenly she asked, "Why did you execute Sasha back then?" Kureya bluntly said, "A princess with such a strong Elf Royal Family bloodline turns out to be a lowly Variantyou dont think that would make our Royal Family a laughingstock to everyone if the word got out?" "Of course, as my niece, I didnt really intend to kill her. Do you think you could have sent Ilisha away back then without my tacit consent? I intended to give you a decade or so, to let you sort things out on your own but didnt expect your hatred towards me to run so deep." A look of so it is appeared on Lisitis beautiful face. If Kureya had intended to stop her from using the Divine Trees power to transfer Sasha, she would never have succeeded. Before their fathers death, she indeed received more attention from the Mother Tree than Kureya had, but Kureya, after being crowned as the Elf Emperor, had surpassed her. If Kureya got serious, she might even strip away the power that was granted to her. If it hadnt been for Sashas affair and the path her father laid out before his death, she would have been the reigning Elf Emperor... A moment later, Lisiti plucked that thought from her mind. Even so, she had never regretted it. "I can work for you." Lisiti stared at Kureya, saying, "Ismure is destroyed, so that leaves a major citys control up for grabs, I hope I can take that place when the time comes." "Thats fine," Kureya said. "So, youll use the spell to check on the situation over there. Since Ismure was destroyed, the nearby root systems were also destroyed, making it impossible from here to see the image. People nearby are too scared to go have a look." In all of the Elf Royal Family, only Lisiti mastered the Tier Five exclusive spell called Trace Vision, and as long as she had been somewhere before, she could see the image and project it, no matter the distance. To be able to manage the situation in various towns, Lisiti traveled throughout the entire Emerald Forest in the past. This was the real reason why Kureya hoped her sister would come back to help. However, as soon as Lisiti used the spell to project the image, both of them held their breath for a moment. In the image, a terrifying black tidal wave engulfed what used to be Ismure Territory - the city once known as the Land of White Flowers was completely erased from history. Kureya, with keen eyes, spotted a spot in the image. It seemed someone was down there... "What is that?" Chapter 515 - 310 The so-called luck of the angry Dragon Mama and the fox-eared Lolita (7k)_1 Chapter 515: Chapter 310 The so-called luck of the angry Dragon Mama and the fox-eared Lolita (7k)_1Although the image was not very clear, the commotion arising from below was still projected out by the traces left behind. In the midst of the Flood DisasterWaterlit, there were actually humans present. Were they people from the Disaster Church? A fierce anger was hidden in Kureyas cool and dignified phoenix eyes. As the current Elf Empress, the destruction of a large city with hundreds of thousands of residents by this heretical group during her reign was a naked provocation and humiliation. If she did not respond with the severest of revenge, future elven history books would surely record her incompetence. In fact, there were already some who were saying in secret that she was the most incompetent Elf Emperor ever. "Lisiti, zoom in on the bottom right corner." "I cant do that. I relied on the airship to leave my traces throughout the entire Emerald Forest. This altitude is exactly where I left traces back in the day, and after decades, the traces have faded a lot," Lisiti shook her head, but she still tried to move the image a bit, centering the area where the anomaly appeared. The two of them looked at the image as if looking down at the ground from high above through a thin layer of mist, only able to make out the general outlines below but not the details. S~ea??h the ovlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Really? Its not possible?" Kureya frowned; the image was too unclear. If it werent for her worry that taking action would exacerbate the Flood Disaster, turning it from a precursor to an actual descent, she would have been prepared to borrow the Mother Trees power to purify the entire area. Lisiti closed her eyes and said, "Maybe its possible, but I need some time to integrate the traces I left back then." Originally, Ismure. Luo Xi, unable to move for the time being, could only watch helplessly as the tide surged toward him. This was the second time Luo Xi faced the onslaught of the Origin Disasters power head-on. Setting aside the aftermath of the locust disaster blocked by the Glory of Winter Citys Inner City, the previous indications of the Snow Disaster Mislat rendered all the citizens of Winter City, except for the small City Owner Hill, unconscious for two days in icy purity, resulting in the deaths of many people. Unlike before, there was no protecting Glory from the Winter Divine Tree; the water droplets from the Flood Disaster even entered his body, wreaking havoc. [Ding! Traveler, you are affected by Flood Disaster Waterlit, losing 15% of your life per second, and you are unable to use any abilities related to Yuan Su.] Luo Xi thought he would perish on the spot very soon. Surprisingly to himself, the unidentified water molecules causing him intense pain, after clashing with the Mutant Factor activated by dragonization, began a fierce battle within his body as the battlefield. [Ding! Traveler, the Mutant Factor (golden) in your body is resisting the power of Flood Disaster. The life reduction effect on you has been reduced to 0.] It was none other than the Mutant Factor influenced by the Black Dragon. With the most lethal debuff neutralized, although most skills related to Yuan Su were locked, Luo Xi was still able to barely mobilize some strength in his body. "Pause." Power from the realm of time descended upon the world. As the black tide engulfed Luo Xi in an instant, the whole world turned a bleak black, and everything was frozen in place. One second passed. Luo Xi looked up at the Starfire falling from the sky. He held tightly around the slender, soft waist of the fox-eared girl and forcefully flapped his wings to take flight. He couldnt use Fiery Flicker in his current state, but he could still rely on Dragon Wings to take off. Two seconds passed. Luo Xi arrived near Starfire, stationary in the air. He placed his other hand underneath Starfire. Three seconds passed. Time began to flow again. The falling Starfire was abruptly stopped in its descent by Luo Xi. "Master, wait for Starfire... Huh?" A little elf emerged from the sphere of Starfire, looking puzzled. Luo Xi helplessly said, "Didnt I tell you to operate the airship from above?" Neither Weier nor Aina knew how to operate the airship. What if it fell? Luo Xi didnt want to see little Weier or little Aina harmed. The little elf shook her head and said, "Its fine, that airship can stay afloat for a long time without Starfire, but theres only one master for Starfire!" In the little ones eyes, nothing was more important than her master. Upon seeing Luo Xi in danger, she came down without a second thought. In an instant, black, ice-blue, and crimson viscous liquids extended from the sphere, rapidly enveloping Luo Xis body. [Yuan Su Furnace Core has been loaded.] [RuneMithril Mechanism is operating normally.] [Rune Power Armor Starfire (Frost/Flame Blaze) has been restarted.] Soon, a steel figure in black, with wings unfurled, floated in midair. Ice-blue and crimson intertwined, forming a magnificent chest plate, and as the fiery flames were about to emerge, they were pressed back by the armor. Luo Xi did not forget that there was a fox-eared Lolita in his arms; if he let the flames out, the fox would turn into a roasted fox. But what was the deal with this fox-eared girl anyway? From the beginning till now, she hadnt said a word. If it werent for her eyes open and the feeling of a heartbeat in her touch, Luo Xi would think he was holding a corpse. Another concern was that she must have also breathed in the water from the Flood Disaster; why did she seem unaffected? Below, Halide looked at the Black Tide filling the area and a triumphant smile appeared on his face. Chapter 516 - 310 The so-called luck of the angry Dragon Mama and the fox-eared Lolita (7k)_2 Chapter 516: Chapter 310 The so-called luck of the angry Dragon Mama and the fox-eared Lolita (7k)_2The feeling of manipulating natural disasters is truly too wonderful. Although he wont be able to summon an Origin Disaster for a very long time after this, it doesnt hinder him from feeling his endless power at this moment. However, as the Black Tide dispersed, Halide immediately realized something was wrong. Where are the people? He suddenly looked up to see a black humanoid object holding a Variant Elf who likely carried a precious Yuan Qi, flapping Dragon Wings and hovering about fifty meters in the air. When did that Variant youth get there?! Just like how he had suddenly appeared a moment ago and delivered a punch. And what was that thing attached to him? Most importantly, why isnt he dead? The power of the Flood Disaster is supposed to be invincible! At the same time. Red Flame Mountain Volcano Archipelago. Below the bright sunshine that shone upon the sea surface, one could see a huge figure rapidly moving in the depths of the ocean floor. Snap! A giant Red Dragon emerged from the sea, accompanying by waves shooting into the sky and black remnants of unknown origin being torn apart, she flew to a place approximately a kilometer above the sea surface and then breathed out a Dragon Breath, evaporating the water in a vast area by several tens of meters deep. Florecias golden dragon eyes revealed a trace of satisfaction. She finally killed that old rival. Although she used the Root Flames taught by Lord Alexilita several times, she felt it was well worth it; that resurrectable octopus had disgusted her countless times. This day, at last, her great vengeance was fulfilled! Its just... its just that it feels somewhat disgusting. Lord was indeed right, the more she used the Root Flames, the more likely she would be polluted, so she should be more careful in the future. Florecia returned to the volcano crater she had long been guarding, glanced at the two Hollow Flowers side by side, and raised her eyelid. "Hmm?" Little Luo Xi had been here? She was very familiar with the scent Luo Xi left behind. Probably he came over and left after discovering she wasnt here. Florecia couldnt help but regret a bit. Well... Next time when Little Luo Xi comes over, shell apologize and embrace him with a mothers warmth. However, the next moment, the connection between their bloodline factors made Florecia suddenly turn to look in a certain direction. That was the sensation of Luo Xi actively entering Dragonization and touching the Mutant Factor which she could feel. Is Little Luo Xi still in the Emerald Forest? Sarch* The Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Florecias eyes lit up. She immediately wanted to fly toward that location. But only a few hundred meters into her flight, she looked back toward the sea, which was once again growing calm, her expression turning grave. Something else was coming. An existence with a similar power to that great octopus she had just killed. Did it sense its death and come to claim its territory? "Roar!" Amid the ear-piercing, soul-shaking screech, a terrifying creature with eyes all over its body, a hundred meters tall, emerged from the water. Florecia clenched her dragon claws. It seems that they cant be completely killed after all. Otherwise, if she killed one and a new one showed up, it would be meaningless, and with her capability, she couldnt possibly cleanse the entire sea of bizarre entities. The Red Dragons body transformed into a streak of fiery light and collided with the newly emerged creature. If she doesnt teach the newcomer a lesson, she cant leave in peace, not even for a moment. "Heaven Collapse." The dark red flames twisted around her dragon claws, and as they collided with the unknown creature, the once calm sea was stirred up once again! Luo Xi stared intently at the person below. He wanted to leave. But that person would never let him go so easily. Now with Spark on his side, although Luo Xi couldnt use the Yuan Su within him, he could still utilize the Yuan Su provided by Sparks power furnace. But with all the Yuan Su in his body being sealed, he estimated he would likely be shot down before he got too far. And the power of the Flood Disaster was definitely not limited to what it appeared to be. He had personally witnessed the power of the Blizzard Disaster, and given its sheer terror of freezing an entire city in an instant, the Flood Disaster, ranking alongside Blizzard Disaster and Locust Disaster, had to be more than this. Unless this manipulator is a fool. After thinking for a moment, the person below could no longer hold back; he too took to the air, and then, the black water on the ground began to boil! The Black Tide that covered the entire basin disappeared quickly. At the same time, Luo Xi suddenly noticed strange raindrops falling, landing on Sparks armor. Hiss The raindrops made contact with Sparks armor and black smoke began to rise. [Ding! The usable Yuan Su in your power furnace is rapidly decreasing] Halide stared coldly at the person shrouded in black armor before him and said icily, "I dont know who you are, but if youve come, dont think of leaving. Leave behind everything you have." To Luo Xis astonishment, the environment that was still quite daytime had completely taken on a darker cast, with the sky filled with gloomy rain clouds. The airship, which was at an altitude of about three thousand meters, was thus sealed above the clouds. [Flood Disaster, Watelit (Rain Vapor Cloud)] "Put me down, or youre going to die if this continues," said the fox-eared girl being held by Luo Xi, finally speaking for the first time since Luo Xi arrived. Above the clouds, Weier and Aina inside the airship looked down at the dark sea of clouds below, their eyes filled with concern. Chapter 517 - 310 The so-called luck of the angry Dragon Mama and the fox-eared Lolita (7k)_3 Chapter 517: Chapter 310 The so-called luck of the angry Dragon Mama and the fox-eared Lolita (7k)_3"Chirp" The little grey bird perched on Ainas shoulder cried out anxiously several times. Feya had never been this close to a male before. When she was suddenly embraced around the waist by this man, she realized that the reason he had arrived here was likely because of the luck enveloping her had taken effect once again. She recognized him as the lord of the strange town that, like the Count of White Blossom Town, was willing to take in Mutant Patients. Who told him about the problem here? Was it... Greygrey? And how did Greygrey manage to get him to come? Or rather, why did he come? Feya couldnt figure it out. Was it the influence of luck? The fox-eared girl fell into deep silence. The so-called luck was fortunate for her, but for those around her, it was a disaster. Just like the calamity she brought her mother. Being a Variant from birth, she caused her mother to suffer discrimination by all who knew of her situation, losing the chance to become the Elf Emperor, and in the year of her birth, she heard that many in the palace died because of her. A journey should leave behind pleasant memories, but ever since she left that small courtyard, all she had were painfully bitter recollections. S~ea??h the novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Before they parted, her mother said that perhaps she would find things she cherished and longed for outside, but such things simply didnt exist. Misfortune would befall anyone who associated with her. The more she treasured and longed for something, the more she couldnt get close to it. It was so painful. Her heart felt as if it was being sliced by knives. If existence in this world brought only pain, then perhaps death was also a good end, wasnt it? Thats what the fox-eared girl thought. When the Black Tide surged towards her, she felt a pain crawling all over her body. The human holding her seemed to have lost the ability to move as well. Im sorry... She had involved another innocent person again. But moments later, she saw a flash before her eyes, and she found herself in the sky. The youth holding her supported a strange orb with his palm, conversed with something that appeared on the orb for a moment, and then his body was covered by the melting orb. Black liquid transformed into hard armor that covered his entire body. An even more powerful surge emanated from the armor. Feya closed her eyes and said, "Put me down, if this continues, youll die." Even if this man had something special about him. Even if she could be saved in the end. So, how would the luck of escaping the Origin Disaster in the sky translate into disaster? He would be the first to be struck by this calamity. "Dont talk." Luo Xi gently patted the head of the fox-eared girl. He needed to think of a way to put her in a safe place first. Otherwise, he wouldnt be able to give it his all even if he wanted to fight. "Oh, I almost forgot this." Luo Xi took out his spoils of war from the Dreamland bag. It looked like a golden yellow ping-pong ball "Tyras Holy Field Barrier" This artifact had the capability of suppressing Tier Four Transcendents. "Please select enemies and allies" "Selection complete." "Would you like to deploy? (It will consume ten pounds of Essence Crystals per second under normal conditions)" "Yes (Insert two thousand pounds)" There were flawless Yuan Su in the Dream world to replenish, so this consumption was acceptable. The real world lacked flawless Yuan Su, which would lead to a tenfold increase in costs, and he heard that Mei Country used up all the Essence Crystals they could gather last time they tried to deal with him. In the lull before the enemies advanced, Luo Xi deployed it, and a transparent spherical barrier suddenly appeared in mid-air, encompassing all three of them. This scene also stunned Halide, who had been confident of his victory. He discovered he had lost his domain-related abilities, and also lost contact with Watelit, which had turned into clouds. At the same time, his Tier, which was almost at Tier Five, dropped back down, placing him firmly within the Tier Four range. Did this man also possess such a special High-tier Yuan Qi? One should know that there is a world of difference in difficulty between forging mere weapons and these barrier-type artifacts. "Who the hell are you?!" Halide rolled his eyeballs, trying to summon the strength in his body to reconnect with the Flood Disaster that ascended to the heavens. But the barrier not only blocked the black rain, but also his summons. This time he had shot himself in the foot. If he didnt allow the Flood Disaster to materialize into clouds, perhaps he could still manipulate it from within... Yet, even then, in terms of Tier, he still had the upper hand against that strange Dragon Species Variant! Halide burst forth, stepping through the air, conjuring numerous black streams of water beneath his feet, and launching them at Luo Xi. Luo Xi simply stood holding the fox-eared Lolita, unmoving. Halides eyes gleamed with madness. Had he been frightened into immobility? Indeed, these people were unworthy of wielding such high-tier Yuan Qi. If he could kill them and obtain those Yuan Qi, his status in the sect was sure to greatly improve. Feya looked at the black figure holding her, holding her breath in confusion. Why isnt he dodging? Then, her vision flashed again. The black figure carried her to another position, behind the man, and threw a punch at him. "Brat, dont underestimate me!" Having seen Luo Xi disappear twice already, Halide was naturally prepared, except that he needed to take the punch head-on. Chapter 518 - 310 The so-called luck of the angry Dragon Mama and the fox-eared Lolita (7k)_4 Chapter 518: Chapter 310 The so-called luck of the angry Dragon Mama and the fox-eared Lolita (7k)_4However, this punch was nothing like the one before. "Power reactor, initiate full load." [Immersion (Joy): Under this state, your character will receive a +200% bonus to strength and a +200% resistance to negative mental skills.] And"Shining Flame Breaks." The strength from Florecia had been fully unleashed, and Spark released it all. The searing Dragon Breath burst from Luo Xis fist, a fierce red wind coloring all that the eye could see with a brilliant red, filling the entire Sacred Boundary. Had Luo Xi not set the fox-eared girl on his left as an ally, she too would have perished in the scorching winds. A charred figure plummeted downward, and even though its body was turned to charcoal by the blow, Luo Xi could still see eyes moving beneath the blackness, skin rapidly regenerating. Tier Four beings were quite a hassle, even when suppressed by the barrier. Naturally, Luo Xi would not give it the chance to escape. He lowered his right hand, preparing to unleash Eternal Frost. Fire and ice, a dual attackhe refused to believe that wouldnt send it off. The truly formidable aspect of this foe seemed to be the prelude to the Origin Disaster it controlled, but it had underestimated him, turning all the Black Tide into mere clouds, and its own combat capabilities seemed rather poor. Just as Sparks right hand was releasing a chilling light, and the power of the blizzard was about to be deployed, a long sigh echoed through the space. "Young man, too much killing intent is not good." A white-haired old man stepped into the barrier, standing in front of the charred figure. "Who?" Luo Xi frowned but continued to release his strength, turning the freezing cold into a snowstorm that howled down below. "The power of Eternal Frost?" The old man was taken aback. As one of the archbishops of the Disaster Church, he was very familiar with the properties of Eternal Frost. Combining it with the fiery winds he witnessed earlierwas he using two opposed extreme attributes to suppress the chill of Eternal Frost? Such a vessel... was unprecedented. But still, it was a bit green in front of him. The old man raised his hand with a wave. A barrier appeared. To Luo Xis shock, the icy cold he released was effortlessly blocked by the old man on the outside. It wasnt that he wasnt strong enough, it was a difference in tiers! Even the barrier given by Essence Crystal eater Tila couldnt suppress a true Tier Five being! The old man did not bother with Luo Xi. Instead, he gazed down at Halide, now turned to charcoal, and sighed, "Halide, you are too arrogant. You had better ways to fight, yet you chose to show off a skill you havent mastered. Dont you know that even as messengers of the Origin Disaster, we might still lose control over these borrowed powers?" The charcoal did not move; only its eyes looked at the old man, conveying gratitude. The Archbishop was indeed watching over him! But his performance this time was indeed disappointing... No matter, as long as the Archbishop could kill that man. The old man looked up at Luo Xi with a grin, "Young man, interested in experiencing the true power of disaster? Its nothing like the remnants of your feeble blizzard." Halide: "???" Luo Xi: "..." He was already considering a remake. It was hard enough to take down one boss, and now an even bigger one appeared; next time he would have to bring Dragon Mama along. Seeing that Luo Xi did not respond, the old man continued, "Then let me take the liberty of letting you experience what the power of disaster is like. Just one taste and youll be fascinated by it." The old man reached out his hand toward Luo Xi. Endless light was released from his palm in that instant. Snap! Time stood still at that moment. One second passed. Luo Xi appeared behind the old man, attempting to break his arm. However, the opponents body was extremely resilient. Two seconds passed. He kicked the old man away and then directed Spark to deliver Dragon Kings Heaven Collapse onto the charred figures head. I have to slaughter one. Time resumed its flow. The charred figure let out a scream, and the old man suddenly found himself in a different place. His usually calm gaze finally turned confused. He had thought perhaps it was just the distance that was too great, unaware of the Variants mode of action. Now, having experienced it firsthand, he was even less able to comprehend how Luo Xi had done it. "Light Breed!" A brilliant radiance surged from the old mans palm, flooding out in all directions. Luo Xi also realized that no matter how he tried to evade, he couldnt avoid the incoming light; even the armor of Spark seemed unable to block it. This light differed from the light released by the priests of the Noah Church. Although those priests were somewhat nauseating, their Divine Skills still felt warm. This light only conveyed a chilling sensation. [Ding! Traveler, you have been parasitized by Light Disasters Seed.] Destruction, Violence, Hatred, Extreme.... Suddenly, numerous negative emotions surged in Luo Xis mind. S~ea??h the n??el Fire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. This was not a Spirit-type Skill, so Luo Xis Spirit Skill Resistance was ineffective. "You... whats wrong with you?" Feya cradled in Luo Xis left arm looked worriedly at Luo Xi, who hung his head motionless. The armor clinging to his body turned to liquid and dripped away, revealing his facewith a golden seed on his forehead. "What... what can I do?" The fox-eared girl stood dazed and anxious. She herself didnt matter. But she didnt want this person to die too. Disaster should be borne by her alone. Feya reached out to touch Luo Xis head, attempting to pull out the seed, but the moment she touched it, her hand blistered as if it had been scorched. The old man laughed heartily, "That fool Halide is expendable, but reaping such a promising young fellow makes it worthwhile. Embrace the Disaster together... Huh?" The old mans laughter ceased, and he looked puzzled at the fox-eared creature. Why was this Variant Elf completely unaffected? And had she just touched that Light Disasters Seed? Impossible... Crack, crack, crack The Sacred Boundary of Tila began to show signs of breaking. "As for me," The fox-eared girl took a deep breath, grasped the seed again despite the smoke rising from her hand, and pulled with all her strength! In a realm unseen by any, within the depths of Luo Xis soul, a rainbow-colored book held back a seed trying to burrow inside. As Feya pulled from the outside, the books cover flipped open, helping to push the seed out. "Ah!" A seed emanating a cold light, yet burning her hand, was successfully extracted from Luo Xis forehead by Feya. The old mans eyes nearly burst with fury. Impossible, how could such a thing be possible? Luo Xi also regained consciousness at that moment. "You, you dare to do this!" The old man, boiling with rage, released a cold white light in his hand and reached for Luo Xi. At that moment, Spark had already exited its overburden state, and Dragonization was nearing its end. With the use of Essence still being restricted inside his body, Luo Xi already lacked the strength to resist. Feya also closed her eyes while nestled in his embrace. Im sorry. However, along with the sound of the boundary shattering, a gust of hot wind suddenly blew through. A smile appeared on Luo Xis face. The red-haired girl aglow with firelight, her hair teased by the hot wind, stood beside Luo Xi. She raised her hand and caught the old mans outstretched palm. Her crimson-gold vertical pupils fixed on Luo Xis body, while her voluptuous, soft form undulated slightly. A bone-chilling murderous intent abruptly burst forth from the Dragon Horn girl. "Mom is late... well talk about that later." "Now, Mom is very angry, and its all because of this old guy, right?" Chapter 519 - 311 Should I Lick Your Ice Cream? Power of Divine Strike, Emerald City (6.2k)_1 Chapter 519: Chapter 311 Should I Lick Your Ice Cream? Power of Divine Strike, Emerald City (6.2k)_1After Florecia finished speaking, an endless fury seemed to condense into substance, forming a red dragon shadow. The dragon shadow followed her grip on the old mans hand and suddenly erupted in flames. Under the old mans astonished gaze, it engulfed him entirely. "Lightextinguish." A deep voice sounded. Instantly, it was as if the light was stripped away, and everything around them plunged into darkness, dragging the dragon shadow into the shadows as well. The old man, bewildered, made a sound: "You are not human, you are... a high-tier king dragon breed, strange, there are no dragons of your tier nearby, wait, are you the one from the Red Flame Mountain Range? Why would you come to defend humanity?" Florecia didnt answer him; she slowly raised her fist. "Light Disaster Xicalis, and the Flood Disaster Watelit outside, are you that group of madmen who worship the Origin Disaster?" The darkness swallowed all light but could not extinguish the fire on her body, those crimson golden vertical pupils were extremely dazzling in the dark. "Lord once said that the Origin Disaster is also a part of this world, if its not necessary, I can leave it be." "But you people, deserve to die!" In the dark, a shade of blue flame quietly emerged. The old man hidden in the shadows was horrified to discover that this flame had fundamentally destroyed the domain he had formed using the power of the Light Disaster. "What is this fire?" He hadnt had time to react when daylight returned to the world, and the surroundings were still drizzled with black rain and a fist swinging toward his face. Black and red flames intertwined around the slender fist, hitting the old mans face without surprise, an unreserved strike from Florecia. The old mans body immediately showed signs of fragmentation under this punch. Brilliant and dazzling light like the sun burst forth from his body. "I... will remember you." The old mans shadowy eyes stared deathly at Florecia, and also at Luo Xi fluttering behind her, his mouth twisting into a chilling smile. As an archbishop of the Disaster Church, his direct power wasnt any stronger than that of Noahs Churchs archbishop. Without calling down the Origin Disaster, he was merely a Fifth-Order Supers, or rather, a Sublimated Venerator of the Disaster Series. Naturally, such strength was not a match for a high-tier king dragon breed. But next time, it wouldnt be the same. When two sects with a long history join hands, all obstacles on the western continent of the Pan Continent would be obliterated. Bang! The old mans body shattered into countless fragments and points of light. Luo Xi also felt a relief in his body. He avoided the occasional falls of black rain and flew to the Dragon Horn girls side, asking: "Ressia mama, is it over?" "No, hes not dead yet." Florecia deeply gazed at a distant location. There, a strand of the old mans scent flashed and vanished. Its no wonder with these madmen who worship the Origin Disaster. Once their power reaches a certain level, as long as the Origin Disaster still exists in this world, they would not truly die. The Dragon Horn girl looked up at the sky. The dark rain clouds represented another kind of extreme Origin Disaster. It was still brewing. "Little Luo Xi, lets go." Florecia wanted to grab Luo Xis hand and take him away first. As for these yet-to-arrive Origin Disasters, they usually had to be passively avoided; otherwise, they could be aggravated and rise in Tier at any time. "Ah!" A roar filled with intense hatred came from the forests below. Halide had not died completely under Luo Xis deliberate overkill. He summoned the Flood Disaster, and after coming out of that barrier, he re-established a connection with it. Die, all of you, die! Thus, a torrential black rain poured down, engulfing him. Florecia wrapped her arms around Luo Xi, who was still holding the fox-eared Lolita, spread her Dragon Wings, and used flames to resist the falling drops, but even she seemed somewhat overwhelmed by the ceaseless onslaught of black rain. "Ressia mama?" Luo Xi noticed something: not only was there tiredness in Florecias eyes, but also a faint trace of black air emerging. "Mamas fine." Florecia shook her head gently. She found that she had lost her flickering ability in this heavy rain. But it wasnt a big problem. She just needed to fly out of this area. With a thought, she reverted to her Red Dragon form, placing Luo Xi on her back. "Lets go..." Having flown just a few meters, a bizarre agitation suddenly surfaced in her heart. Florecia looked up at the black clouds, her crimson golden vertical pupils tinged with a hint of black. An uncontrollable impulse arose. She... she wanted to break through these black clouds! Origin Disaster? What of the Origin Disaster? With Little Luo Xi by her side, she was invincible! [Note: Useless Traveler, your Dragon Mama has lost her mind, hurry up and pull her back, ha!] S~ea??h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Huh?" Luo Xi was taken aback. What the heck. Then, he felt his body lighten, and he rocketed towards the cloud layer, the face of the fox-eared Lolita he was holding warped by the fierce wind pressure. The Light Disaster seed still in the vixens hand was about to fall, but Luo Xi quickly stuffed it into his Dreamland pack. Chapter 520 - 311 Should I Lick Your Ice Cream? Power of Divine Strike, Emerald City (6.2k)_2 Chapter 520: Chapter 311 Should I Lick Your Ice Cream? Power of Divine Strike, Emerald City (6.2k)_2"Ressia, stop climbing up, thats a cloud formed by the Flood Disaster!" "Mama can do it!" "You cant, please stop!" Amid Luo Xis cries, Florecia came to an abrupt stop about a hundred meters away from the dark clouds as if restricted by an invisible force. Ignoring the black droplets that fell upon her body and emitted white steam, the Red Dragon flapped her Dragon Wings in a daze, staring at the gloomy clouds in the sky. What had she done? Why did she suddenly lose her senses and aim to charge at the Flood Disasters clouds? Who was leading her on? Or was it an issue of her own... Luo Xi also let out a slight sigh of relief. It was good that he had managed to hold her back. Otherwise, if she had charged headfirst into it, it wouldnt matter to him, but the Little Fox Lady he had finally managed to rescue after hastily making his way here might be done for. "Hmm..." The Lolita with fox ears also took a light breath after the Dragon Mama stopped. At that moment, a cool voice sounded beside Luo Xi. "Your Excellency Black Abyss Flame Dragon, we are grateful for your efforts over the past few millennia. Now you may return home; the handling of Flood Disaster Waterlit will be managed by us here at Emerald City." Emerald City. Inside a hidden courtyard of the royal castle. The image that held traces of the past gradually became clear. Meanwhile, Kureyas face visibly darkened. The situation over there... seemed rather wrong. Flood Disaster Waterlit, according to the characteristics recorded in the past, has two forms: liquid and cloud. The liquid form is manageable as there are temporary containment methods, but the cloud form poses a risk of spreading across the entire Pan Continent. At that point, it would be irreversible. Even though the main targets of the Origin Disasters are the cities with the Eternal World Tree, their aftermath could easily destroy the small villages and towns. It is said that in a very distant era, a cloud form of the Flood Disaster caused the deaths of tens of millions across the continent and was finally dispersed by the Red Dragon of the Colorful Dragon Emperor. Kureya asked, "Where are those people?" Lisiti zoomed in on the image again. Several figures appeared in the air within the image; although still somewhat blurry, their outlines were becoming clear. Lisiti murmured to herself, "Two people?" There seemed to be a fierce battle taking place over there. She had only been in this cottage for around forty or fifty years; how could anyone dare to show themselves so soon after the appearance of an Origin Disaster? "There are three people," Kureya pointed out, indicating the dark figure in the image and said, "Look closely, theres someone in his arms." "Holding someone..." Lisiti paused the image; when she saw the girl cradled by the black figure in the image, she was as if struck by lightning, her full bosom heaving violently, her lips slightly parted, breathing heavily. A pair of emerald green eyes incredulously stared at the person in the image. That was... that was Sasha! Despite the blurry image from the trace and the ten years that had passed since they were apart, she could not be mistaken, for that was the child she had raised herself. Why would Sasha be involved in the Flood Disaster? Hadnt she urged Sasha to go as far as possible, preferably leaving the Emerald Forest and heading to the eastern side of the Pan Continent... Indeed, Ismure was already three to four thousand kilometers away from Emerald City. Lisiti looked at the scene in the image with an increasing sense of urgency. How could Sasha possibly contend with the power of the Flood Disaster? And who exactly was that dark entity holding her? What was inside it? "Whats wrong with you?" Kureya looked at Lisiti, whose face had suddenly become fraught with panic, with some puzzlement. Since childhood, her sister had always been whimsical, and many times Kureya couldnt understand what she was thinkinglike that time she inexplicably gave birth to a Variant Elf with a foxs tail, nearly causing their father, the former Elf Emperor, to die of rage; consequently, she completely lost her fathers trust. A complete mess made out of a good hand. If it werent for the favor of the Mother Tree still present in Lisiti, her father would likely have banished her then and there. sea??h th Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "I..." Lisiti struggled to maintain a composed demeanor. She couldnt let Kureya find out that the child was Sasha. Although Kureya had deliberately made her send Sasha away years ago and hadnt actively pursued her since, Lisiti didnt believe Kureya would pretend not to see her if she saw the child again. The existence of Ilisafia Vinny Sillamere represented a desecration of the most noble bloodline of the Gold Elf strain within the Elf Royal FamilySylramirgoing back at least tens of thousands of years. Previously, Lisiti was protecting Sasha with her life on the line. But now that Sasha was out there, So, not only must she keep Kureya from knowing Sasha was there, but she must also rescue her from danger... What should she do? Lisiti bit her lush red lips in hesitation, and after a few seconds, she said softly, "Kureya, I agree to do work for you, but you must first agree to a condition." Kureya was taken aback. Why was Lisiti bringing this up so suddenly? She asked, "Whats the condition? Tell me first, I cant agree to it unconditionally." Lisiti hesitated, then asked, "If Sasha can come back one day, what will you do?" Kureyas gaze sharpened as she said, "I advise you not to harbour any delusions. The world is vast enough to tolerate an Elf Royal Family Variant of the Sylramir lineage wandering outside, but Emerald City is small. If she returns here and her identity becomes known, you cannot even begin to comprehend the chain reaction it would cause. Or are you planning to keep her imprisoned here for life?" Chapter 521 - 311 Should I Lick Your Ice Cream? Power of Divine Strike, Emerald City (6.2k)_3 Chapter 521: Chapter 311 Should I Lick Your Ice Cream? Power of Divine Strike, Emerald City (6.2k)_3Lisiti fell into silence. She knew that Kureya was right. If Sasha had a choice, she most likely wouldnt return to this place, which to her, was like a cage. Moreover, she really shouldnt come back here. "Ah..." Kureya let out a soft sigh. She was prepared to say a few more words, to completely shatter the pitiful fantasies of her younger sister. One must always look to the future. Dwelling on the past is not a good habit. She did indeed need the help of her younger sister. In the Elf Royal Court, even though she could suppress other forces with her absolute strength, she was ultimately alone, and others were deceitful behind her back; she had no good solution to this. Killing one or two minor characters didnt do any good. You couldnt possibly kill them all, right? Lisiti said nothing more, she saw in the video feed that the figure clad in black seemed to use an item like a barrier and then gained the upper hand in the battle. Won? Although she didnt know who that person was, he was at least protecting Sasha, so that was good... But in the next moment, an unexpected event occurred on the battlefield. A fourth person suddenly joined the fray. The one holding Sasha was visibly suppressed. And that cold light in the video... "Light Disaster Xicalis." Kureya spoke in a lowered voice, "That person is not weak. If Origin Disaster is invoked, it could very likely be a partial descent of that level, probably a high-ranking member of the Disaster Church." "Lisiti, Im about to take action. Ismure cannot be destroyed in vain, those wretches who dare to provoke the Elf Royal Court must receive their due retribution." Lisitis body shuddered, and she began to breathe hastily, "Youre going to take action yourself? It might exacerbate the prelude to the Flood Disaster..." "Thats why Ill have the Mother Tree unleash a Divine Strike." Kureya narrowed her eyes and said, "The prerequisite for aggravating the Origin Disaster is that it cannot be wiped out in one go, but the Divine Strike from the Mother Tree can completely purify that region in an instant, including even the mere prelude level of the Flood Disaster, and it can also conveniently kill those scoundrels from the Disaster Church." "Anyway, there arent many people around Ismure now, and once the purification is over, that region will be left for you..." Kureya frowned and looked at her sister, who suddenly clenched the strings of her instrument, her complexion turning pale. "What is wrong with you?" "No, no, you cant use the Divine Strike, its something that can be used only once in ten years..." "Its okay, it has been nine years since the last time it was used." "But, there might still be other kinsfolk there, like the person in the black armor..." "What in the world is wrong with you?" Kureya rebuked loudly, "Youre acting completely opposite to how you were in front of Father back then, all hesitant and wavering. Where is the one who dared to confront Father Lord head-on?!" Lisiti knew she could no longer hide the truth. Otherwise, Kureya would certainly use the Emeralds Divine Strike. It was a destructive ability that accumulates once every decade, capable of leveling a big city the size of David City to the ground. Sasha was there, she would certainly die. She silently lowered her head and said, "The one in the black armor, holding Sasha in his arms." Kureya: "What? That is... Ilisha?" She immediately understood why Lisitis behavior became so strange after seeing the person in the video feed. When it came to things related to Ilisafia, she truly could go mad, just like herself in the past. Trouble. "Then I will go in person." Kureya took a few steps and then looked back at her sister, "But this is the last time. Beneath the Confused Mountain Range, there is a secret tunnel, I will send her away from here." Lisitis autumn water-like emerald eyes showed a deep sadness: "Is it really not possible for her to come back...?" "No, Ive repeated it many times now, my sister, if you keep dragging this out, Ilisha might just... Hm?" Sear?h the N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The situation in the video feed changed dramatically once again. Although it was unclear what happened, the person who came later seemed to have been provoked and then red flames appeared in the video. A fifth person joined the battlefield. The overwhelming dragon might immediately made both of them realize that it wasnt a human. Lisiti exclaimed, "A high-ranking sovereign? Red Dragon Species?" Kureya spoke gravely, "I remember Anas mentioning last time that a Red Dragon helped deal with that kilometer-tall Fallen Divine Tree. Although the Red Dragon Emperor eventually intervened, its clear they are connected as well." "If were talking about the Dragon King of the Red Dragon Species within the territory of the Emerald Forest, I can only think of the Black Abyss Flame Dragon from the Red Flame Mountain Range." "Why would she get involved..." Kureya was completely befuddled. After the dragon-like person joined the battle, the outcome was quickly decided, and that dragon-like person also transformed into its true form, placing the other two on its back. Kureya wondered, "Do they know each other?" If it were in the dragons claws, one might still worry, but being carried on its back, that almost certainly ruled out the possibility of being seized as prey to be devoured. "Perhaps..." Lisiti watched the Red Dragon about to fly away with Sasha on its back, her feelings indescribably complex. After more than a decade, she had finally seen Sasha again, but only on this blurred visual recording. Farewell... when Mother one day has her own city, she will come to find you again. While Lisiti was deep in thought, the Red Dragon suddenly surged upwards! Chapter 522 - 311 Should I Lick Your Ice Cream? Power of Divine Strike, Emerald City (6.2k)_4 Chapter 522: Chapter 311 Should I Lick Your Ice Cream? Power of Divine Strike, Emerald City (6.2k)_4? Was that a desire to rush headlong into the cloud-borne Flood Disaster? High-tier dragon species might indeed provoke a reaction from the presage of a Flood Disaster... Lisiti pleaded, "Aunt Kureya! Sister! Please help them." Only after her plea did she realize Kureya had already vanished from the spot. The current Elf Emperor had used the network of root veins to reach the village nearest to Ismure and then, with her own teleportation spell, traversed dozens of kilometers to arrive above Ismure, where she caught the fleeing Florecia using her own strength. "Distinguished Black Abyss Flame Dragon, thank you for your contributions over these thousands of years. Now you may return. The handling of the Flood Disaster Waterlit shall be entrusted to our Emerald City." Luo Xi looked in bewilderment at the elf woman who had suddenly appeared beside her. Wearing a gorgeous tiara, her slender elf ears surrounded by a faint green glow, her countenance detached and extraordinary, an air of nobility that made one dare not look directly at her, as if she were an emperor of this world. Who is this? Feya, who had been in Luo Xis arms, trembled slightly. She looked incredulously at the person who had appeared so abruptly. "Aunt..." Why was Aunt Kureya here? After ten years, did she still not intend to let her go? Kureya looked at the fox-eared girl held by Luo Xi with a complex expression, then her gaze swept over Luo Xi. Humanity, Dragon Species Variant... Was she a companion of Ilisha... or was their relationship even closer? It made sense, Variants would indeed have to find companions among other Variants. Since youve found a partner, then dont get involved in danger anymore, and live your life well. "Who are you?" Florecia turned around to look at the powerful elf. Kureya pointed to the dark clouds above, "You were just about to rush up there; I stopped you." Florecia: "..." So that was her strength that she felt just now. Kureya didnt look at Feya or Luo Xi again and said, "Distinguished Abyss Flame Dragon, I ask you to leave now. Im about to deal with the presage of this Flood Disaster." "Hmm... Thank you." Florecia nodded her head, turned, and intended to fly away. Feya: "?" Did Aunt Kureya not recognize her? The fox-eared girl looked down at the hand Luo Xi had been holding around her waist. And when was this person planning to let go? However, the commotion from the dark clouds above suddenly became more tumultuous. Kureya abruptly looked up. Was it her arrival, carrying with it the essence of the Emerald Mother Tree, that exacerbated this cloud-born water disaster? There was no time left, the dark clouds had already spread, covering tens of kilometers around. If the Flood Disaster was allowed to descend completely, the entire Emerald Forest would fall into an inconceivable catastrophe. She immediately pointed toward the ground, a few branches were tossed down by her, and then she reached out to grab the Red Dragon. "Theres not enough time, follow me now!" Florecia, including the two people on her back, were instantly immobilized. Luo Xi felt her head spinning. Then, everyone in that region disappeared within a vast circle of green light. Emerald City. The sky garden of the Royal Court. Florecia fell from the circle of light, landing on the ground, about to roar in anger when the elf that brought them here appeared in front of her and said, "Distinguished Black Abyss Flame Dragon, there is no need for anger; just look." The elf pointed to a location in the south. A burst of emerald green light fell like divine wrath from the sky, opening a blazing pillar of light at that spot. Luo Xi: "..." [Ding! You have unlocked the region: Emerald City] [Ding! You have encountered the Eternal World Tree Emerald] Was that beam of light where they had just been? In an instant, they had traversed such a vast distance; impressive, even without the Hollow Flower, this could still be accomplished. Wait a minute! Luo Xi felt she was missing something. Where were Cat Cat and Aina? They were high in the sky over there, and in the onslaught of this Dream World version of Mushroom Egg, they may have already... Luo Xi immediately wanted to restart. [Note: Garbage Traveler, dont be hasty, theyre still perfectly fine~] Luo Xi looked suspiciously at the Damn Text. Really? [Note: If its false, then Ill lick ice cream for you for a year! ()!] Who cares! ... Inside the airship, Weier was still gripping the control stick. When that terrifying power descended, she thought they were all going to die. Unexpectedly, once that power disappeared, Weier found they were still alive. Incredibly so. They didnt see that on the airship above, a pink-haired blue-eyed girl was staring blankly at the sky, while another Lolita with a disdainful expression was fiddling with her Ahoge. "This garbage Traveler still dares to doubt me; next time, I must show him the authority of my words!"

(7k)_1 Chapter 535: Chapter 315: Elven Lady with Fox Ears, Luo Xi Takes Action! (7k)_1"Mr. Luo Xi, please dont be angry." After the elf had left, Nanali turned to Luo Xi and said, "They are all children of great nobles, who have been raised with such pride and disdain for others as a habit, even for their own elven kindred, let alone humans." The maid was speaking carefully while also quietly observing the young man. She didnt see any signs of annoyance or anger on his face, as though the elves words hadnt referred to him at all. "Its okay," Luo Xi waved his hand dismissively. In the Shining Country, he had already grown accustomed to feeling inferior as a Mutant Patient. No matter where, this kind of class disparity and contempt were inherited and consistent. Only in the Emerald Forest, with its different races, did this contempt chain become even deeper and more complex. Elf > Human > Variant Human > Variant Elf. Elves stricken with Mutation Syndrome were even lower in status than Variant Humans. One could imagine what kind of storm it would unleash if Luo Xi and Feya revealed their mutant traits here. He got out of the carriage, and Feya followed him. When elves passed by them, just a glance at Feyas emerald green eyes was enough to deter them from looking again. A girl with such pure green eyes must be some noble little princess from the Royal Court. Those young ladies had quite the temperament; one extra look could lead to death, and that was no joke. For the first time, Feya felt what it was like to be feared by others. Everything had changed simply because she had hidden her fox ears and tail, her mutant traits. She... didnt like this place. The fox-eared girl silently lowered her head. She wanted to leave. But Aunt Kureya didnt allow her to. [Ding! Youve unlocked a new area: Elven Fun City] Luo Xi glanced at the text notification, then looked at the fox spirit and said, "If youre feeling uncomfortable, you can go back first. Ill just take a look around by myself for a while." He couldnt fathom what was going through this fox-eared ladys mind, but Luo Xi wouldnt force her to stay; after all, they had only just met. Though Luo Xi was quite interested in Feyas fox tail. Feya looked up and said, "Mr. Luo Xi, I just remembered something. Lets go, shall we?" "Alright," Luo Xi nodded. Nanali curiously watched the two of them. There was a somewhat distant feeling between them, as if they hadnt been very familiar with each other before. Why would His Majesty instruct her to look after them and not stop them from acting, with her only task being to keep records? sea??h th novlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. However, as a competent maid, Nanali quickly put aside these thoughts and with a sweet smile said, "Considering we might speak with others later, lets confirm our identities. Miss Feya, you are now the daughter of Duke Mel, Mr. Luo Xi, you are Miss Feyas companion, and I am Miss Feyas maid. Does this arrangement work for you?" Feya paused for a moment, shook her head, and said, "Wouldnt this be somewhat offensive to Mr. Luo Xi, having someone like me as a companion... even if its just pretend." "Its fine. You also said its all pretend, so lets just go inside," Luo Xi replied. Luo Xi found that his current sync time was less than ten minutes. Having grown accustomed to the daily access with three extra hours of sync time in Belgri Town, Luo Xi was somewhat disconcerted by the brief half-hour of regular module time. "Then... I apologize in advance for the offense," she softly acknowledged as she nodded her small head. Once again, she inwardly scolded herself. How could such an easy-going man as Mr. Luo Xi be a pervert? Although the feelings the two girls beside him harbored were unusual, how could she judge a persons character based on one-sided views? [Ding! Feyas favorability towards you +20] [Current favorability level from Feya: 78 (identified as a person of good character)] [Description: Since the trip to Belgri, you initially thought the Traveler was a loli-con pervert, but after he fearlessly saved you, and through the conversations you had with him personally, the perspective of this fox-eared girl towards you has changed.] [Note: Foolish little fox, dont be swayed by the damn loli-con Traveler, stick to your own views!] Luo Xi, well-versed in ignoring the ramblings of the damn text, followed Feya to the Elven Fun City under Nanalis lead. As a companion, in such a place, he naturally couldnt walk ahead of his master. Inside the Elven Fun City. The shops were varied and dazzling, the innermost part housed large pavilions with many people wandering nearby. The vast majority of customers here were elves. Humans, even if they were wealthy, couldnt even get through the door. Just as Feya stepped through the gate, a male elf dressed in a tailcoat approached, asking respectfully: "Esteemed guest, do you have a scheduled itinerary for today? Do you require a guide?" "Um..." Feya hesitated briefly, her delicate red lips revealing a strained and troubled smile as she instinctively reached up to touch the hat covering her fox ears. But halfway up, she remembered she had used an item provided by Aunt Kureya to conceal her Mutation traits. To others, she was now a pure-blooded member of the Elf Clan. Chapter 536 - 315: Elven Lady with Fox Ears, Luo Xi Takes Action! (7k)_2 Chapter 536: Chapter 315: Elven Lady with Fox Ears, Luo Xi Takes Action! (7k)_2Even though she was somewhat panicked inside, Feya quickly calmed down thanks to the unflappability honed from over a decade of wandering. "No, I just... want to wander around, and I dont need a guide," she said. The male elf took a moment to appraise the visitor before handing her a booklet, and with a smile, he said, "Honored guest, this is a map of Elven Fun City and a platinum tier pass. Also, Lord Zolan Elven, the eldest son of the Earl, is here. If you need, we can help you contact him." Feya accepted the items from the elf and replied, "Were just here to stroll around; theres no need for such trouble." "Then I wish you a pleasant time." The male elf could tell that this girl, who likely came from an influential background, truly just wanted to walk around. It was common, after all. Elven Fun City, as the largest entertainment venue in Emerald City, saw numerous nobles of the Royal Court seeking pleasure here at night, spending extravagantly. To get personalized reception here, one had to be at least of a viscounts standing; a baron wouldnt qualify. It was seeing her emerald-green eyes that prompted the elf to greet her proactively. However, it seemed the young lady was not inclined to reveal her identity today. After Feya entered the VIP passage to the fun city with her entourage and maid, the male elf hesitated but didnt contact Lord Zolan, who was probably having a good time with women. After walking a few dozen steps, Feya turned back anxiously and asked Luo Xi and Nanali, "There wasnt anything wrong with the way I acted just now, right?" Despite her noble royal lineage, as a Variant, she had never experienced such treatment before, and even normal conversations with other elves felt extremely difficult for Feya. Sar?h the Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. If Luo Xi knew what the fox-eared lady was thinking, he would certainly tell her, "Youre suffering from social anxiety." With a smile, Nanali reassured her, "Theres no problem, Miss Feya. You did very well." Truth be told, Nanali was curious about her identity. Without discussing her bloodline or background, the girls demure and elegant demeanor wasnt something ordinary families could nurture. How did someone of her status become a Mutant Patient? Elves had a very low probability of contracting the Mutant Factor, let alone the noble young princes and princesses. "Thats good to hear." Feya breathed a sigh of relief and sneaked a glance at Luo Xi. Luo Xi smiled and commented, "Not bad, you quite have the air of a young lady." "Mr. Luo Xi, please dont tease me, Im not any sort of young lady," Feya said, turning her head away and, from an angle hidden from everyone, her cherry-red lips lifted into a beautiful arc, revealing two charming dimples on her fair, delicate cheeks. For some reason, she felt a little bit of joy. Luo Xi looked at the booklet in the girls hand and said, "Miss Feya, may I take a look at the map?" "Ah, of course." Feyas body slightly shivered, and she frantically touched her right pocket before realizing the booklet was in her left hand. This was the first time the fox-eared elf gave Luo Xi the impression of being adorably clumsy. Luo Xi took the booklet from the flustered, blushing girl, glanced through it, and discovered that the place was indeed ridiculously large. From the scale on the map, it seemed that Elven Fun City was probably even bigger than his Belgri Town. He decided to skip over the upscale restaurants, noticing that places like Black Moon Auction House, Black Moon Arena, Elven Gold Casino, and so on occupied a considerable amount of space. Luo Xi handed the booklet to the maid and asked, "Miss Nanali, where do you think we should go?" Nanali shook her head and said, "Ive never been here before either. This is a renowned den of luxury, and my meager wages could never cover the costs here." "But dont worry, your expenses in Emerald City are covered by Her Majesty," she added. Luo Xis eyes lit up. That was good news indeed. If the Elf Emperor was so generous, then he would need to acquire some goods to make up for this detention. Nanali, seeing the gleam in Luo Xis eyes, continued, "However, there is a limit. Daily expenses cannot exceed 1,000 Emerald Gold coins, anything beyond that youll have to find a way to cover yourself, Mr. Luo Xi." Luo Xi: "..." Stingy. "The Black Moon arena has opened! Come on, lets place bets. I heard that the dark horse who arrived recently has won thirteen consecutive fights. If he reaches fifteen, a new Black Moon Champion will be born!" "Isnt he a Variant Human? Will the Black Moon Corporation really let him become the champion?" "Who knows? I think theres a good chance, but lets not talk anymore, well lose our seats if were late; I dont want to stand during the event!" Two elves discussing as they jogged past Luo Xi and his companions, quickly darting away. Luo Xi looked in the direction theyd run off to. Variant Human? Strange, I thought there were no Variant Humans in Emerald City? Nanali also furrowed her brows. But she quickly realized what was going on. Under the rule and directives of two generations of Elf Emperors, it was almost impossible for Mutant Patients to enter the city in a normal capacity. However, it was a different story for the great nobles of the Royal Court. They could easily bring people in from the outside. Even a few Dukes could openly oppose the resolutions put forth by Her Majesty, and Nanali knew that the Emperor had been bothered by these self-interested Royal Court nobles for a long time. Chapter 537 - 315: Elven Lady with Fox Ears, Luo Xi Takes Action! (7k)_3 Chapter 537: Chapter 315: Elven Lady with Fox Ears, Luo Xi Takes Action! (7k)_3Nanalis pale green eyes flickered slightly. Having heard that Count Elven was supported by the Duke, who was always at odds with His Majesty, if they could find evidence of the other party secretly allowing Variants into the Emerald City... Wait, a serious matter suddenly occurred to Nanali C did this mean that His Majesty also allowed Variants into the city? The maid fell into silence. And could His Majesty really be unaware of these matters? As the Elf Emperor, within this city, as long as His Highness wished, nothing could escape His Majestys watchful eyes. "Mr. Luo Xi" "Go take a look at that arena." Before the maid could finish speaking, Luo Xi made up his mind and ran in the direction the two elves had left. Feya and Nanali quickly followed him. After running about a kilometer, they finally arrived at the venue marked on the map. At this moment, many elves were continuously entering the venue with their subordinates or servants. sea??h th N?velFire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The venue was about thirty meters high, entirely made of wooden structures, and bright lights shone through the window holes of the outer walls, casting a golden hue upon the night sky. Nanali pointed at a luxurious small door guarded by someone and said, "Miss Feya, lets go through the VIP passage over there. Please lead the way." "Hmm." Feya slightly adjusted her dress and calmly walked towards it. The doorkeeper stopped Feya and respectfully asked, "May I know if you, our esteemed guest, have an invitation or a reservation for the VIP room?" "If I lack those things, does that mean I cannot enter?" Feya tried to keep her voice from trembling as she looked at the doorkeeping elf with eyes pure as emeralds. Anxiety gripped the heart of the doorkeeper. This one must be of no small importance. "Of course not." His face became even more respectful as he smiled and said, "Even without an invitation or reservation, as long as your status is sufficient, you can enjoy the VIP treatment at any time." The doorkeeper said nothing more; he turned his gaze to Luo Xi and Nanali, waiting for the maid of the young lady to speak. He knew deeply that in such times, it was too degrading for the master to state her own status; it had to be the flatterer who did so. Nanalis eyebrows twitched as she said, "How bold, do you know who this is?" Then the maid looked at Luo Xi. Luo Xi: "..." What are you looking at me for? Under the maids gaze, Luo Xi braced himself and said, "This is the jewel in the hand of Duke Mel, Miss Feya herself! Make way quickly if you dont want to die!" [Note: Garbage Traveler, you sure play the part of a flatterer well~] "So it is Miss Feya of the Duke Mels family, my apologies for the oversight." The doorkeeper immediately rose and gave way. No matter who it was, all he needed was a title. The title of Miss of a Dukes family was significant enough. In the long history of the elf clans, only eleven Dukes had emerged throughout the Emerald Forest, and aside from the five who resided in Emerald City year-round, the other six each governed a large David City. Duke Mel was one of them. As for the possibility of impersonation, that was none of his concern, and besides, the royal bloodline of this Miss was indeed rich, evident even at first glance from the color of her eyes. After the three of them entered the VIP door, an elf ran over wanting to get in. Upon learning the newcomers identity, the doorkeeper disdainfully said, "Son of Viscount Atlantis? Off with you, queue up next door. Maybe if an elder from your family came it would be different." The self-proclaimed noble elf angrily retorted, "Then why did you let them in!" "Heh," the doorkeeper glanced at the elfs dull green eyes and said with even more disdain, "Your end goal doesnt even come close to their starting point. Get my meaning?" "How dare you speak like that, you gatekeeping dog!" "Displeased? If so, Ill call the guard squad!" While a disturbance was occurring outside, Luo Xi and his companions were being led by a staff member to a private booth located high up with floor-to-ceiling windows, from which they could see the fully-packed crowd below and the large arena in the center. "Esteemed guests, would you like to place a bet?" The female elf leading Luo Xis group handed over a crystal. Feya took it, and instantly, two figures were projected on it, alongside their associated information. [Lien Ferreira: A dark horse who has already gained 13 consecutive victories, a dog-category Mutated Transcendent, entry-level Second-tier, with great stamina and adaptability] [Claudine Petro: An elf from the Petro clan who fought 14 rounds in the last Black Moon Arena contest, "Yellow Wind Path" Sublimated Venerator, peak of the Second-tier] Luo Xi was somewhat surprised and said, "How come they are only Second-tier?" The female elf gave Luo Xi a strange look. She wondered why this attendant dared to speak in front of his master, but seeing that Feya said nothing, she explained, "Our arena matches are graded. The highest is between Third-tier Transcendents, and the current matches are for Second-tier. There will be Third-tier matches later." "This Lien has already won thirteen times in a row. If you fancy him, you might want to bet, and here are some teas and snacks. Just call me if you need anything." The female elf placed the items on the table, then left the booth. Luo Xi squinted as he looked towards the arena. Suddenly, the entire venues lights dimmed, and someone with a megaphone shouted, "Silence, please, everyone. The prestigious Black Moon Fifteenth Challenge is about to commence! Those who havent placed their bets, time is running out." Chapter 538 - 315: Elven Lady with Fox Ears, Luo Xi Takes Action! (7k)_4 Chapter 538: Chapter 315: Elven Lady with Fox Ears, Luo Xi Takes Action! (7k)_4[Traveler, this synchronization will end in one minute.] [Ding! You have triggered a Dreamland Temporary Synchronization (HD version, one hour). Would you like to use it?] Luo Xi was slightly startled. He hadnt seen a temporary synchronization in a long time. This thing was usually only triggered in special scenarios or events. Could it be that theres something special about this Black Moon tournament? Indeed, watching the tournament in text format was too abstract. [Yes] As Luo Xis vision cleared, he saw the support staff standing in the arena, a handsome male Elf; most of those seated below were also Elves, with their servants crowded in the aisles. "Countdown, fifteen seconds! Fifteen, fourteen... one! Please welcome our Player Lien! He is the first Variant to achieve a thirteen-win streak, a dark horse of the tournament!" The Elves in the audience showed no sign of cheering. Luo Xi saw a slightly short-statured man with dog ears and a tail emerge from the back passage. "Now, please welcome our other fighter today, Claudine Petro! The almost-champion who stood through fourteen rounds in the last tournament!" "Claudine! Claudine!" The arena was instantly filled with the chanting of countless Elves. The Elf emerging from the darkness wore a smug smile, mockingly gesturing across his neck at Lien. Luo Xi remained silent. Clearly, these Elves just wanted to see the Variant, a human, defeated by one of their own. Some might have bet on Lien to win, but they certainly would not cheer for him. Soon, the host left the arena, leaving it to the two combatants. "Weapon use is prohibited in this match, as is using long-range abilities to directly affect the opponent. Violators will be disqualified, leaving the arena will result in disqualification, death will result in disqualification, countdown starts in three seconds, three, two, one, the matchbegins!" At the moment the voice fell, the two eager fighters rushed towards each other, furiously brawling on the platform. Liens fists turned into countless afterimages, repeatedly striking at the Elf, who was blocking the attacks with a yellow material. Claudine was not having an easy time; he had originally thought that taking down a Variant who had just entered Second-tier would be simple. However, he realized he was wrong the moment they engaged. The Variant humans strength was outrageously large, the Origin Beast that infected him with the factor must be of high Tier. And his speed was fast, too. Strength + speed were top-notch, and on a field where ranged attacks were not allowed, Liens advantage was too great. As Claudine parried Liens fists he whispered, "Human, you cant win anymore. Youve been pushed here by the Black Moon Company to stir up interest. You may indeed have some strength, but in the final battle, you are doomed to die!" Sar?h the Novl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Liens fists hesitated for a moment before striking harder. He replied softly, "Thank you, but I have reasons I cannot lose." "Foolish!" Claudine sneered, his hands gathering yellow sand to smash towards Lien, only to find when it landed that he had lost sight of Lien. By the time he felt a chill behind him, he realized that Lien had used the moment he swung his fist to move behind him. He tried to turn around, but lost his balance and was hit out of the arena by Lien, landing in the crowd. The hosts voice rang out at the same time: "Player Lien! The fourteenth battle, victory! The final battle will commence in half an hour, everyone, dont rush off!" "Lien! Lien!" "Damn, we made a killing today!" Even though the Elves did not wish for the human to win the ultimate victory, there were still those unable to contain their joy at making money, shouting out. Luo Xi watched in silence as Lien exited the arena. "Mr. Luo Xi, do you think he can win?" Feya asked softly beside him. "Its difficult," Luo Xi shook his head. He felt that the organizers wouldnt just let this person achieve the fifteenth victory. You could tell from the feverish crowd that when everyone placed their bets on Lien, it was time for the organizers to cash in. Lounge. Lien had acquired a special potion for restoring physical strength. "You should still remember our agreement," said the elf with a chilly smile on his face across from him. Lien was silent, "I know." "What is it?" "Fight until the fifteenth match, and then lose to the former boxing champion." "Good, remember not to do anything unnecessary, your family is in our hands." "Hmm..." Half an hour later, when Lien came back, the atmosphere at the venue had changed, and finally, elves were shouting his name. However, as soon as another muscular human contestant came out, the noise was overtaken by another name echoing throughout the venue. "Nom Pasha, human, Second-tier, three-time reigning boxing champion! A Black Iron Path sublimated venerator! Call out his name, everyone!" "Nom!" "Nom!!!" Luo Xi glanced at the information about this man on the crystal. He then realized that he was indeed formidable, managing to win three consecutive tournaments and standing out in Second-tier strength. After an atmosphere of hype, the battle was ready to ignite. Lien and Nom were locked in a close match in the arena. But Luo Xi noticed that Lien seemed to be deliberately holding back his strength, so he was at a disadvantage. Below, some elves were getting anxious; they had bet all their money on Lien. What if he lost? Dodging Noms fist, which had turned black, Lien thought to himself that this should be about time, right? He knew he couldnt possibly win the final championship of the match. The organizers would never let him be the last one standing. All he wanted was to fulfill those peoples demands and ransom his family back. As Noms punch came roaring once more, Lien, as usual, wanted to dodge it, but suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, and his Yuan Su from inside his body started to drain massively and riot. Whats going on? Lien immediately thought of the potion he had drunk. Did those guys use such despicable tactics to prevent him from doing anything extra? But he really hadnt thought about winning... Noms punch landed unimpeded on Liens body, sending him flying backward, crashing harshly at the edge of the arena. Nom had no intention of holding back; he immediately rushed forward and landed a heavy punch on Liens head. "I, I cant die!" Lien barely lifted his hand, trying to block the attack. Although he knew it was in vain. Below the stage, everyone watching was holding their breath, their eyes wide and eager, awaiting the final verdict. Just then, an unexpected figure suddenly appeared on the stage. It was a human youth whose appearance was no less than that of the elves. He caught Noms hand, which was poised to shatter Liens skull, with just one hand. The punch with unstoppable momentum in everyones eyes couldnt advance even the slightest bit in the young mans hand. The youth said indifferently, "Didnt you notice something was off about him? Besides, we are all humanity, why must you go for the kill?" Inside the box, Feya looked bewildered at the person on the stage, then turned towards the empty seat next to her. When did Mr. Luo Xi run up there?
