Chapter 153: Chapter 138 Lord Mother-in-law, how do you understand so well! You’re 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 back—in 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, didn’t you want to vent your frustrations on Lord Mother-in-law? Now is a golden opportunity, so why not take your chance before it’s too late~]

Who the hell dares to!?

Time can’t even be turned back anymore.

And Cat Cat is still here!

Wei’er, holding her little foot up behind her, took several hopping steps forward with the other.

The girl stood beside Liya’s figure and asked with joy and trepidation:

"Mom, are you back for good? Will you leave again?"

"I won’t 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 (ó﹏ò) face, calmly saying, "This kid’s 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 body’s 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 can’t always stay with you. After all, I am just a Projection, and it’s already quite draining to maintain my current state."

"Mm..."

Wei’er’s 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-law’s 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 you’re 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, you’re truly the real pervert!

Liya’s 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 hadn’t 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: It’s all because you, a piece of garbage Traveler, were caught in the act of teasing someone’s 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 wouldn’t 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-law’s questioning from behind the safety of the text, that would at least relieve some psychological pressure.

Wei’er tilted her head puzzled.

What did Luo Xi want to do just now?

Wasn’t 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 wasn’t 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, "Wei’er, 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, you’re really good at this, how do you know so much!

And damn text, shut up!

But in that moment, he really hadn’t 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 Cat’s foot that kicked him.

Wei’er 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 Xi’s 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 girl’s 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 Xi’s head barefoot, without socks.

This guy... Was everything that just happened part of that pervert’s plotting?

Ding! Wei’er’s Anger Value towards you +50

Ding! Wei’er’s Anger Value towards you +20

Luo Xi: "."

Note: Mother-in-law, you’ve done well, letting your precious daughter see the damn Traveler’s true colors. Traveler, don’t be sad. Keep trying to win over the tsundere Cat-eared Girl~

Damn text, you’re the one who is the happiest about this!

However, before Cat Cat had a chance to get angry with him, Liya’s figure began to flicker again, becoming more illusory and transparent as if she would disappear at any moment.

Wei’er stopped her questioning of Luo Xi and asked anxiously, "Mom, what’s 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 we’ll 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 Noss’s control all along. Although I don’t know why he hasn’t taken control of you yet, Wei’er, it will happen sooner or later. So if you spot any rodents, remember, show no mercy, and make sure there are no rats where you’re staying."

"Also, Little Xier can’t 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 Tree’s 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 Legion’s camp and look for the leader of the Winter Legion, Signo. He’s never been interested in joining the Festival, and if he’s 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, it’s 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, Wei’er, be careful around this weird fellow... Of course, if you really like him... then it’s up to you. A person close to Aina shouldn’t be a bad person, but you should also watch out for your little sister."

After all, her daughter had grown up, and she couldn’t be too involved in her daughter’s private matters when she wasn’t even sure whether she was dead or alive.

Before Wei’er could grasp the meaning of Liya’s last words, Liya’s 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 Wei’er to comprehend what her mother had said at the end. S~ea??h the novёlF~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’... That’s absolutely impossible!

Hmph, only Little Aina, who doesn’t understand anything, would be fooled by this pervert. There’s no way I could fall for him. (Confident)

Wei’er 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 "╬" symbols popped up on Wei’er’s 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, Wei’er said, "Give me back my shoes and socks. I’m cold."

Luo Xi: "..."

You should have said so earlier.

He was not the kind of creep who would keep someone’s personal items without returning them.

Luo Xi, with an expressionless face, handed back Cat Cat’s shoes and socks.

He glanced at Cat Cat’s delicate foot, slightly raised off the ground.

Even though he couldn’t see it clearly in this state, that tiny feeling made one want to reach out and grab it, to play with it in one’s hand... cough.

Ding! Your Happiness Level +20

Note: No need to comment anymore, you are beyond saving, damn Traveler!
