Chapter 120: Chapter 107 Aina wants to steal her sister’s husband! But her brother won’t let her!_1 Chapter 120: Chapter 107 Aina wants to steal her sister’s husband! But her brother won’t let her!_1 [Traveler, you vehemently deny Wei’er’s suspicion and claim you don’t have that kind of fetish, asserting that you simply wanted to pet Winnie’s fluffy ears.]

[After all, only a true pervert would be interested in a child whose age is still in the single digits, right?]

[Ding! Wei’er’s suspicion towards you +10]

[“Hey? Really?” Wei’er prolonged her tone, indicating her doubt.]

Luo Xi: “…”

[Traveler, you say, “Then, Cat Cat, can I pet you?”]

[Suddenly remembering something, Cat Cat’s 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 night’s sleep, has she recovered quite a bit?]

[However, just covering her ears isn’t 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…

[Wei’er glanced down following your line of sight and hurriedly tucked her tail into her clothes: “No way! You’ve already touched it once, you can’t touch it again now!”]

Hmm?

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 Cat’s angry gaze, you nonchalantly pulled out Cat Cat’s white tail hair from your pocket and asked curiously, “I’m curious about something, Wei’er, do you have the kind of physique that sheds fur?”]

[Ding! Wei’er’s anger value +10]

[“Who doesn’t shed hair and fur!”]

[Wei’er’s 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: “…”

[Wei’er 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. I’m going out to check the situation. Supposedly, the city should open today. If it doesn’t, then we can only hold our position for now.”]

[After the shopkeeper left, you and Wei’er 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 Wei’er and ask, “Where’s Aina? Aren’t 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, “I’ll bring some up to her later. Letting that silly little sister talk nonsense, saying stuff like ‘sister has a big belly’ and all, I don’t know who she picked it up from, not afraid of angering me to death.”]

[So Wei’er had eavesdropped on your conversation with Aina earlier, hadn’t 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 wasn’t even eight o’clock 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 didn’t 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 tavern’s 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 aren’t doing much.”]

[Shopkeeper Lena sat down on a stool next to Wei’er, picked up a glass of milk, and gulped it down ferociously.]

[Wei’er asked curiously, “Is it that cold outside?”]

[Due to the house’s insulation and the existence of warm stones for heating, the temperature difference between indoors and outdoors was already like heaven and earth. Last night’s 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. It’s 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 won’t 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 they’re 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 don’t intend to let them leave anytime soon.”]

[Traveler, you exchanged a glance of confirmation with Wei’er.]

[Due to this morning’s 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 wouldn’t let them out so easily.]

[Besides, their real purpose might be to carry out a lockdown strategy.]

[Lena glanced at you, then at Wei’er, “Wei’er, 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, that’s why I plan to go to the Winter Workshop to investigate, but you better not…”]

[Wei’er’s voice became slightly heavier, “Sister Lena, that’s not just your teacher, she’s my mother!”]

[Lena’s tone did not soften, and she glared at you, “If it were before yesterday, I wouldn’t 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, it’s 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, “There’s always a way. How about this, Shopkeeper, you go check out the workshop, and Wei’er and I will try to find the madman from the sanitarium? We won’t go in right away; we’ll recon the area outside and look for an opportunity to slip in.”]

[Wei’er’s 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 Wei’er’s birthday, which is also the time that Rat King mentioned to her.”]

[Lena’s 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?”]

[Wei’er 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. Let’s decide to look for Wei’er’s mother. You go to the workshop, Shopkeeper, and Wei’er 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 morning’s Cat Cat again. This time you’ll definitely hold on to her tail tighter and give her a good petting before letting go.]

[Note: Indeed, you’re such a scoundrel, Traveler.]

[“Oh…” Lena subconsciously nodded, and then realized she had agreed to your command.]

[Traveler, you pretended not to see the ‘╬’ symbols popping out of the shopkeeper’s 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, I’m going to steal Sister’s husband! Brother doesn’t belong to her anymore!”]

Luo Xi: “…”
