Text Game: It All Began when a Cat-eared Girl Took Me In-Chapter 156 - 139: Will I be beaten by my mother-in-law for intimate interactions with Aina? (6k added by ’Let the Past Go With the Wind’ Boss)_3
[Ding! You have exited a special location, your synchronization time has resumed flowing, currently 30 minutes remain.]
Luo Xi: "!"
This synchronization time really does relate to the workshop.
Luo Xi touched the brim of the hat on his head.
Mother-in-law, please come out and tell me what exactly have you done in the workshop?
[Warm reminder: Certain high-tier skills such as barriers may lead to the extension of synchronization time, preventing Travelers from freely entering, exiting, and returning. Please be mindful of this in the future~]
Luo Xi was taken aback.
So that’s how it is, but doesn’t the Blessing Glory of the Divine Tree count as a barrier?
The text did not answer the question in his heart.
At that moment, the somewhat childish voice of Hill rang out: 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
"That... are you guys leaving?"
The young boy cautiously emerged from the corner of the wall, a look of loss on his face.
Hill rubbed his leg, as if he had been standing there for a long time.
"We are leaving," Wei’er said with a hint of guilt, lowering her head. "Sorry, I forgot that you might have already come over, Hill."
The workshop was entirely soundproof, so even if Hill knocked on the door, Wei’er wouldn’t have heard it.
Hill shook his head and smiled, "It’s okay."
"Cat Cat, let’s go inside and talk," Luo Xi said.
Wei’er nodded, asked Hill to come over, and pushed them both inside before following them in.
When Luo Xi returned to the workshop, as expected, the remaining synchronization time reverted back to the display of "???"
However, when he had used the ’Immersion’ talent previously, it hadn’t been affected. Was it because the golden talent’s tier was too high?
"Your godfather..."
Hill started to say something but then stopped abruptly, and instead, looked up to ask, "After you leave this time, will you come back again?"
Luo Xi patted the boy’s head and affirmed, "Definitely, aren’t we friends? Besides, I’ve promised to help you find your father, and... to play with you."
"Mhm!"
Hill nodded vehemently, "Where in Winter City do you want to go? As long as it’s within the Inner City, just give me a rough location, and I can send you nearby directly. You might just feel a bit dizzy afterward though."
Luo Xi was surprised.
So, the young City Owner had such a capability?
If a child was this powerful, were all the custodians of the Divine Tree so strong?
How did the former City Owner meet his end? Was he betrayed by a group of people?
Luo Xi turned around and asked, "Cat Cat, do you have anything else you need to take?"
Wei’er softly shook her head.
She had already taken everything that needed to be taken.
So, Luo Xi took out the map and pointed to the location of Lena’s Inn for Hill.
The three went out of the workshop again.
"Then we’ll be in your care," Luo Xi said, "Goodbye."
"Mhm, goodbye."
Hill raised his hand towards the feet of the two.
Luo Xi seemed to see in those eyes, reflecting the starry sky, the fine growth of branches and leaves. Underneath their feet, a magnificent blue inscription emerged from the ground, engulfing him and Wei’er from foot to head.
Afterward, Luo Xi and Wei’er completely vanished from the corridor.
Only a young boy was left, holding his head, stumbling as he made his way upstairs.
"Godfather..."
...
"Are we back?"
Luo Xi looked at the heavy snow in front of him and the dark alley nearby, exchanged a glance with Cat Cat beside him, and felt as if the previous experiences were all like a dream.
"Q—"
Wei’er suddenly covered her little nose and sneezed delicately.
Luo Xi: "..."
He noticed that Cat Cat was still wearing that light white dress she had stealthily taken from the wardrobe of the Mansion of the City Lord.
The temperature outside was at least negative fifty degrees, not nearly as warm as the Mansion, and wearing such a dress outside would soon make one sick from the cold.
Luo Xi took out the cotton jacket Wei’er had given to her from his travel bag and draped it over the girl’s shoulders.
"Put this on quickly, then let’s hurry back so you don’t catch a cold," he urged.
Wei’er nodded heavily.
[Ding! Wei’er’s favorability towards you +3]
Luo Xi: (✧◡✧).
To increase Cat Cat’s favorability, it indeed had to be at her unawares.
But now that favorability had reached this level, it seemed that even if he occasionally annoyed her, it wouldn’t lower favorability anymore.
[Note: A pure-hearted cat-eared girl who completely doesn’t understand what is called scheming. Is she going to be entirely swooned over by this loli-con Traveler?]
Luo Xi: "..."
Damn text, just shut up.
Their landing spot was not far from Lena’s Inn; a few minutes later, they reached the inn’s entrance.
Wei’er held onto Luo Xi’s hand.
Without knocking, she reached out to touch the inn’s door, leading Luo Xi through it with practiced ease.
With this ability, Cat Cat could absolutely become a master thief in the real world.
The inn’s lobby was dark.
Even though they hadn’t made much noise upon entering, a soft voice still rose up.
"Sister Wei’er? Brother Luo Xi? It’s you guys who’ve come back, right?"
Clap—
The lights in the hallway automatically turned on, and Luo Xi saw a quilt at the foot of the stairs.
And the person inside the quilt... who else could it be?
[Ding! Your happiness level +10]
This feeling of being welcomed by cute creatures as soon as you return... can only be described as marvelous. No wonder so many people like having pets.
