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, Wei’er was quick to react. She wiped away her tears and grabbed Luo Xi’s arm, forcefully holding him in place to prevent him from slipping away.

Is this guy trying to resist answering my mother’s questions?

No way that’s happening.

With tear stains still on her cute face, Wei’er managed a slight smile, “Listen to my mom and come clean, you pervert!”

Luo Xi: “…”

This is Cat Cat’s mother, not mine!

And what’s this about coming clean? What does he have to explain?

[Note: Or maybe it’s not impossible? Trash Traveler, hurry up and call her mom, then confess to the ten major crimes you committed against Aina and Wei’er.]

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 hadn’t been an issue along the way, both beast-eared lolitas would already have been abducted by you. Now that you’ve run into the mothers of the two lolitas, you’re in a real panic, huh~]

That’s not called abduction! It’s 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 Wei’er’s 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?”

Liya’s gaze fell from Luo Xi’s face, then swept over the hand that Wei’er was using to hold Luo Xi in place, and looked towards Wei’er’s smiling face.

Wei’er’s 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 Wei’er.

Wei’er also nodded and said, “Hmm, this pervert is now, well, our companion, I guess.”

“Since he’s a companion,”

Liya asked with a puzzled expression: “Then why do you call him a pervert, Wei’er?”

Luo Xi: “…”

Danger!

Cat Cat, please don’t talk nonsense!

“Because he touched me inappropriately…”

Wei’er’s face turned red, and she subconsciously hugged her chest. After realizing something was wrong, she quickly changed her statement: “Because he’s always messing with Aina, and he tricked Aina into saying she’d 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, justice’s judgment is arriving soon!]

Luo Xi: “(T＿T).”

Tired, just destroy me.

Cat Cat, you might as well have just finished what you were going to say.

But it’s 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, Wei’er added, “But although this pervert is a pervert, he’s actually a pretty good person, and Aina really likes him. It’s 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… Doesn’t 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 you’ve already convinced her to marry you?”

Luo Xi dared not speak at all.

After all, this was indeed the truth.

Liya snorted coldly, “Isn’t one Wei’er 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, wouldn’t 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!]

Wei’er also cried out in embarrassment, “Mom! What are you talking about!”

“Fine, I won’t talk about it anymore. The Furnace Core’s power is insufficient, and I don’t have much time left.”

Liya sighed lightly, “It’s been three years since I was preserved here, hasn’t it? These three years must have been tough for you and Aina, right?”

“Not tough.” Wei’er lowered her eyes and asked, “Mom, are you saying that you here aren’t 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 don’t need to know, Wei’er. It is essentially built on a large amount of runes that I personally crafted to construct a historical projection of myself. If you hadn’t brought that Furnace Core, I doubt I would have been able to appear. Whether all this is a coincidence or inevitable, I don’t know.”

Wei’er 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?”

Liya’s expression changed, “Impossible, that wasn’t 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 Hill’s body, and his emotions became unstable.

Luo Xi and Wei’er 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?”

Hill’s body trembled.

Then, the released strength all returned to his body.

Liya looked at Hill and said softly, “Little Hill, I don’t know what happened that day; I here don’t 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?!”

Liya’s 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, “I’m sorry, I might not be able to answer you right now. But please believe in Aunt Liya, I never intended to take your father’s 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 Wei’er? The day after tomorrow is not only Wei’er’s birthday but also the Divine Tree’s 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 day’s 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. Wei’er 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 wouldn’t 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? You’re the one who activated the Furnace Core, right? Strange, even as a Dragon Species Variant, you shouldn’t 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 Xi’s body. Luo Xi hadn’t 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!]

Damn Text, you just love to see me in trouble, don’t you!
