Chapter 118: Chapter 105 When are you going to stop touching!? (＞＿＜)_1 Chapter 118: Chapter 105 When are you going to stop touching!? (＞＿＜)_1 Luo Xi gently stroked the right cat ear on Cat Cat’s head, sliding his fingers down softly, as if he was truly petting a domestic cat.

Luo Xi: (*´﹃｀*).

Cat Cat’s ears, fluffy, soft, and warm (*´﹃｀*).

The cat ears extending from the girl’s head were entirely different from the fake adornments found on cosplayers in reality; these were the real ears of a Cat-eared Girl!

When his fingers touched the fine fur on the cat ears, he couldn’t help but be reminded of the white cat he once had.

[Ding! Your Happiness Level +50]

[Note: Perverted, suspicious Traveler, you’re getting more and more perverted.]

Hold off on that, Damn Text.

Just as Luo Xi’s fingers moved, intending to delve further into the inner side of the cat ear to feel its structure, the girl’s voice rang out, tinged with a hint of annoyance.

“Pervert, aren’t you satisfied yet? How long are you planning to touch me!”

Luo Xi’s fingers paused, stopped, and then quickly retracted like a naughty student caught using a cellphone by the teacher.

Wei’er looked at Luo Xi with dangerous eyes, her pale red pupils incredibly bright in the dim room, her pretty face blushing slightly.

Moreover, Cat Cat was more or less sitting just below his thigh.

The scene was indescribably charming.

If Chu Tian suddenly woke up beside them, he might point at him and shout, ‘Caught red-handed, didn’t I, you damn Loli-con.’

Luo Xi belatedly asked, “Eh, why didn’t you dodge this time, Cat Cat?”

“Haven’t you always wanted to touch?”

Wei’er turned her head away, her cheeks reddening further as she muttered, “After all, you’ve already touched Aina’s tail and ears to your heart’s content, mine doesn’t make much difference. Even though I still can’t understand why you’re so interested in Mutation features.”

[Ding! Your Happiness Level +10]

Luo Xi smiled and said, “Hehe, that would start with the creators of ACG culture, but it’s a long story from the beginning. I’ll tell you about it someday…”

Because you don’t understand, in my world, the younger generation feels fascination and love for fantasy creatures like Beast Eared Girls, rather than aversion or fear.

Wei’er slowly shifted off Luo Xi’s leg to the side, sitting back on the edge of the bed and wrapping her tail around her hand to prevent Luo Xi from grabbing it again with Fondling Hands.

Luo Xi felt a slight regret at the loss of weight on his body.

Wei’er also retracted the vulnerability she had previously exhibited in front of Luo Xi.

She said, “I apologize for what I said earlier; let’s pretend I never mentioned it. I was too emotional.”

Luo Xi said in surprise, “Ah, are you referring to taking Aina off my hands as if it was never mentioned? I think there’s really no need for that.”

[Note: Garbage Traveler, are you not even pretending anymore?]

Shut up, stupid text; can’t you see I’m joking with this cat?

Slap!—

Wei’er’s small fist gently tapped his nose.

Luo Xi looked at this delicate fist and felt the urge to take a bite out of it.

“Don’t play dumb. Now that I’ve chosen to trust you, entrusting Aina to you is not a deception.”

Wei’er said somewhat sadly, “You big idiot and unfortunate fellow, think about it. Ever since I met you, if it weren’t for me saving you several times, you wouldn’t have survived with even three lives. How could you have the capacity to do what I asked?”

“So, if something really happens to me, then please take good care of Aina for me. If she grows up and if you are still alive and well, you could marry her then, providing some support for my little sister’s future.”

[Ding! Your Happiness Level +20]

[Note: Cat Cat, don’t trust this person too much. Wait until Aina grows up? The Garbage Traveler has an 80% chance of not being able to resist, especially since Dream World doesn’t have police uncles.]

Luo Xi: “…”

Shut up, Damn Text, whatever you say, Cat Cat can’t see it!

As a sister with no blood relation, Wei’er indeed arranged everything she could for Aina’s future, suspecting she might not be able to leave Winter City alive.

The best she could do was to let Aina leave alone.

As for entrusting Aina to Luo Xi, Wei’er was probably gambling, betting both Aina and her judgment were not wrong.

Another reason was, as she said, she genuinely did not have anyone else to trust.

Luo Xi sat up from the bed, looked at the girl’s face solemnly, and said, “You don’t have to be so hopeless. We’re not at the end of our rope yet; there’s still a chance to turn things around.”

Wei’er shook her head, “What chance do we have to turn things around? I suspect those hiding in the dark probably already know my whereabouts. They haven’t captured me simply because the time hasn’t come yet.”

“Yes, I’ve guessed as much,” Luo Xi said.

“So…”

“That’s why this period is a rare opportunity for us!”

Luo Xi’s voice rose with excitement, “Your mother, Liya, judging by the poor-quality runes hidden in those wands, it’s very likely she isn’t dead; she’s still trying to send you messages through such tough means. So if we find your mother, with her strength as a Tier Four Skill Practitioner, wouldn’t she be able to break the current deadlock?”

The Cat-eared Girl’s eyes briefly brightened.

Luo Xi smiled and said, “So my foolish cat, your desire to find your mother is exactly the key to solving our predicament. You absolutely don’t have to struggle alone, shouldering all this by yourself. Besides, do you think they would spare Aina? Letting the tiger return to the mountain is something no sensible person would do.”

The brightness in the Cat-eared Girl’s eyes grew, but upon hearing Luo Xi’s following words, it dimmed again quickly.

Yes, why would they kindly spare Aina?

Wei’er’s body shivered suddenly.

It was Luo Xi, who had risen from the bed and placed his hands on the girl’s shoulders, looking into her eyes:

“I’ll help you, help you find every trace your mother left behind in this Winter City. Considering that your blood unlocked those staffs, your blood might just be the key she prepared for you, and it’s the backup plan your mother left you!”

Luo Xi rattled off a lot in one go.

Actually, even he didn’t quite believe what he had just said.

He was just spouting nonsense in a state of extreme confusion.

He simply didn’t want to see this Cat Cat face her unknown destiny with despair and dejection.

Wei’er nodded softly.

“Have you figured it out?”

Luo Xi was stunned.

He didn’t even know what he had just blurted out.

“Hmm, if finding my mom can solve the current problems, then I have even more reason to do so,” Wei’er said, looking down at Luo Xi’s hand on her shoulder with some distaste.

“Can you remove your paw first? It’s hurting me a bit.”

“Sorry, sorry.”

Luo Xi quickly removed his hand.

My bad, my bad, I squeezed the poor girl without realizing it.

“What you said is indeed correct, but right now, we don’t even have a way to get any news, we don’t even know what happened three years ago, how are we supposed to find my mother?”

As Wei’er was speaking, her voice paused, and then she exclaimed with a rise in pitch, “The Winter Workshop that sells these staffs! They might have something crucial there!”

Luo Xi nodded, “That’s right, another lead is following the clue we got from the black market tonight, finding that person named ‘Gilles.’ Based on my years of experience reading novels, that guy is very likely pretending to be a fool because he knows if he doesn’t play dumb, he’ll get eliminated.”

Wei’er: “…”

Why did she suddenly feel that the young man in front of her started to seem unreliable?

With hesitation, Cat Cat said, “But isn’t that sanatorium extremely difficult to get into? With so many guards watching over it, even if the two of us go in together, it’s very likely that we would both die there, rendering it all meaningless.”

Wait, this is meaningful!

Wei’er suddenly remembered, those people hidden in the shadows must have been affected by something her mother did three years ago that forced them to require her to do something after three years.

So if she died, would their plan be completely broken?

Seeing the wavering emotions in Wei’er’s eyes, Luo Xi laughed, “Silly Cat Cat, don’t think about all that nonsense. For now, we only have one goal, to find your mother, Liya. I shall call it, Operation ‘Cat Searches for Mom’.”

Clap clap clap—

“What are you talking about!”

Wei’er lightly pounded Luo Xi’s chest with several small fists, softly scolding,

“Stop your perverted nonsense, talking rubbish, about Cat Searches for Mom…”

Luo Xi: “…”

The Cat Cat five-hit combo!

But it didn’t hurt at all!

He didn’t know if it was because Wei’er’s body hadn’t recovered since the factor inside her had just stabilized, or if she just didn’t feel like exerting force.

[Ding! Your Happiness Level +20]

It had to be said, interacting with Wei’er and Aina, the two sisters, was a completely different experience. Aina was the cuddly type who liked sticking to you and was willing to play along with you, while Wei’er had some resistance, would get shy and angry at your teasing but wouldn’t truly dislike you, a little tsundere indeed.

Luo Xi suddenly wanted to know what other people’s “Dawn” looked like.

His “Dawn” seemed a bit off.

Chu Tian’s “Dawn” was either indulging in food, drink, gambling, or on the road to wooing Beast Eared Big Sisters.

What about others?

This question, perhaps he could find out something in the conference held by the Dreamland Travel Bureau in two days, right?

It couldn’t just be him and Chu Tian who were special, could it?

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

[Warm reminder: Remaining time for this temporary synchronization is 1 minute]

Seeing the reminder in the text, Luo Xi hurriedly said, “Anyway, you should go back and rest for now. We’ll confirm everything after daybreak. If we can leave Winter City, then there’s no harm in leaving together, especially since that’s what your mother, Liya, requested. If we can’t all get out, then we must consider what we talked about earlier.”

After a while, Wei’er put down her fists, stood up from the edge of the bed, and said softly, “Then I’m going back to rest, see you after dawn.”

The Cat-eared girl walked towards the door.

In the moment she stepped out, Wei’er looked back and gave Luo Xi a sly smile,

“I’ve figured it out, Aina really shouldn’t be left with a pervert like you!”

Luo Xi: “…”

[This synchronization session has now ended]

[Traveler, looking forward to seeing you again~]
