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, I’m not Chu Tian, and I certainly don’t 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?]

I’m damn well not a Lolita-con, okay!

And, Damn Text, what’s 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 woman’s figure that appeared before him.

Liya’s body was accentuated in the pale blue dress, and her delicate, cat-like face didn’t 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 men’s 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 Wei’er’s 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?

It’s said that even tigers don’t eat their young.

Losing a daughter and a wife—wasn’t 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 humanity’s notions in this world were truly preposterous.

If there were no other options, Liya probably wouldn’t have brought Wei’er 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 couldn’t 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.

Wei’er 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 Cat’s 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 won’t 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, don’t be hasty, haven’t you noticed how your mom’s figure is getting clearer?”

When it comes to matters related to Liya, Cat Cat’s IQ always seems to significantly drop.

Recalling herself, Wei’er 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, Wei’er’s heart lifted with joy again, and she gratefully glanced at Luo Xi, thankful for his reminder.

Then, Wei’er noticed that Luo Xi, this pervert, seemed to be staring at her mother’s face and there continuously, and even though the illusion was clothed, she felt somewhat uncomfortable inside.

Wei’er took two steps and lightly kicked Luo Xi’s leg, annoyed, “Pervert, what are you looking at?!”

[Ding! Wei’er’s Anger Value toward you +15]

Luo Xi: “…”

I’m just honestly admiring a beautiful woman, what are you getting mad about, Cat Cat.

If I can’t look, then how about you come over here and let me have a look?

No sooner said than done, Luo Xi grabbed Cat Cat’s 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 Liya’s 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 Xi’s gaze passed over the young girl’s chest.

It’s just that the reduction in size was a bit too large.

Unfortunately, Wei’er 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, don’t feel pity, everyone knows what you’re thinking about, a legal beast-eared Lolita as the best, right?]

Where did Damn Text learn internet slang!

Feeling uneasy due to Luo Xi’s scrutiny, Wei’er instinctively hugged her chest and said:

“What strange things are you thinking? I’m warning you, you can’t just touch me anymore! It’ll 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 tails—that didn’t count, because even the laws of reality didn’t forbid petting a beast eared girl’s ears and tail.

“Why do I feel like there’s something off about your gaze…”

Cat Cat followed Luo Xi’s line of sight to her own chest, then glanced at the phantom of her mother—a patch of snow-white almost squeezing out of the clothes, strikingly eye-catching.

The young girl immediately realized what Luo Xi was thinking.

[Ding! Wei’er’s Anger Value +20]

Wei’er’s 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, Wei’er 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 wouldn’t have been able to touch anything soft during those previous encounters—he 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?”

Wei’er 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 hadn’t 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, “Don’t 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.”

Wei’er said softly, “It’s okay. Even if that’s the case, being able to see a shadow left by my mother makes me very happy.”

Hill fell silent.

At least Wei’er 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.

Wei’er was confused, “What’s wrong with him now?”

Luo Xi was also somewhat baffled.

This time they had deliberately avoided mentioning Hill’s 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 Wei’er in front of him, he exclaimed:

“Who are you… Is that Aunt Liya?! Is this Aunt Liya’s workshop?! Why am I here?”

Luo Xi pointed to his pocket, “Don’t 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 father’s whereabouts… So that’s how it is.”

Luo Xi turned to look at the phantom in front, “That’s right, this is what we’ve 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 Cat’s mother was actually going to appear?

No sooner had Luo Xi thought this than Liya’s eyes opened completely—those were pale purple irises enchanting as a fairy’s, seemingly able to suck one in.

Liya’s gaze first fell on the girl in front, displaying surprise, joy, and then rage.

“Wei’er… why would you come here, bringing the Furnace Core with you… You’re 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…”

Wei’er, unable to control her emotions, started crying, tears streaming down her face. She wanted to rush into her mother’s arms, but after a few steps, she remembered that this was just an intangible phantom.

Liya didn’t answer Wei’er’s 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 man’s name is Luo Xi; he’s a loli-con who is trying to abduct your two daughters.]

Damn it!

I haven’t even successfully abducted anyone yet!
