Chapter 134: Chapter 120: It wouldn’t be okay to pet Aina until she loses her senses, would it? _1 Chapter 134: Chapter 120: It wouldn’t be okay to pet Aina until she loses her senses, would it? _1 [Feeling your hand withdraw, Aina’s 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 sister’s gaze feels like it could kill someone. If I kept going, I’d really be in danger!]

[Traveler, you feel the weight on your leg lift, and the next moment, Wei’er snatches Aina back, placing her on her own legs.]

[Wei’er glared up at you as she looked at her sister whom you had petted into a daze, angrily accusing you, “Pervert! I knew I couldn’t entrust Aina to you! Just look at what you’ve 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, I’ve 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.”]

[“I’ll head back first, I won’t 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 man’s 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 isn’t much to discuss.]

[Luweiya shook her head regretfully and left the room.]

[Traveler, when she closed the door behind her, Wei’er instantly turned to look at you.]

[You notice a hint of murderous intent in the girl’s light red eyes.]

[Wei’er, 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 Aina’s face has not faded, and she still looks dazed.]

[Note: Damn Traveler, you’re 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!

[Wei’er muttered softly, “You pervert, if Aina hadn’t shown she didn’t dislike you, you’d 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.”]

[Wei’er 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.

[Wei’er looks at you with a smiling gaze, “So, let’s talk about the ‘price’ you have to pay for what you did to Aina. You don’t 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.]

[It’s hard to imagine that such great strength could reside in Wei’er’s delicate body.]

[Did her strength increase as well because the mutation deepened yesterday?]

[Wei’er got up on tiptoes and patted the Traveler’s 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.]

[Wei’er looked at you gravely and said, “As expected, the degree of your mutation has deepened. Why so fast? It’s only been a few days since the initial mutation awakening. At this rate, you’ll 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 couldn’t feel the horns on his head.

He checked the time; it was almost five o’clock.

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 I’ll leave first. See you the day after tomorrow.”

“Ah, ok, go ahead, senior.”

After Luo Xi left, Chen Momo poked Ai Xue’s arm and said, “Your senior seems to be absent-minded all the time. What is he actually up to?”

Ai Xue replied uncertainly, “I don’t know…”

She felt there was an invisible chasm between her and Luo Xi. Even though she was trying hard to catch up, she still couldn’t figure out what he was thinking.

On his ride back on the shared bike.

[Traveler, Wei’er 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 Wei’er took hold of him, it wasn’t 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, didn’t seem to care much, Wei’er didn’t pursue it further. She handed you back your hat, saying, “In a bit, we’ll go downstairs and consider our next move with Sister Laina. I’ll take care of Aina here for now.”]

[After saying this, Wei’er 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? It’s definitely against you, Loli-con scum Traveler!]

Luo Xi: “(▼ヘ▼#)”

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 didn’t 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 didn’t want to turn into a monster that had lost all reason.

[Traveler, Shopkeeper Lena has asked for you to all come to the restaurant.]

[Wei’er 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: That’s what you get for petting her sister until she looked like that! You’re just reaping what you sowed.]

[The shopkeeper informs you that tomorrow’s plan is to go to the Mansion of the City Lord to gather intelligence. Liya must have left many traces in the City Lord’s 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, Wei’er turned down your offer.]

[Shopkeeper Lena was also baffled by your death-wish idea.]

[Chu Tian then said he wouldn’t join you because if his attributes were to drop again tomorrow, he, already severely injured, might just kick the bucket.]

[But, Traveler, you didn’t 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 girl’s head, earnestly saying, “I won’t die, you know.”]

[Ding! Wei’er’s favorability towards you +3]

Luo Xi: “…”

It’s just like me to actually do something I’ve always wanted to do.

Style points up.

[“But, who knows what kind of price you’ll pay for this…”

Wei’er lowered her head, her face obscured by the brim of your hat, and spoke with a hint of sadness in her voice: “I’m 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.]

[What’s this all about?]

[Biting her teeth, Wei’er said, “We still have a few days, so there’s plenty of time. Luo Xi, don’t do anything foolish anymore. If you agree, I might occasionally turn a blind eye to what you do to her, as long as Aina doesn’t object.”]

Luo Xi: “!”

Wei’er is willing to go to such lengths?

It meant that if he agreed, he could openly pet Aina in front of Wei’er 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, I’m not that kind of person. I wanted to scout the City Lord’s Mansion after careful consideration, so rest assured, I’ll definitely survive no matter what, right Brother Chu?”]

[Chu Tian also spoke up, “Miss Cat Lady, don’t worry. We really can resurrect with little consequence after death, so we are best suited for such dangerous tasks.”]

[Wei’er’s expression briefly showed suspicion.]

[Note: Garbage Traveler, guess which of your statements Cat Cat doubts? My bet is on the first one since you’re already the kind that would paw at Aina, you pervert!]

Damn Text, shut the hell up!
