Text Game: It All Began when a Cat-eared Girl Took Me In-Chapter 179 - 156 - The Tail of the Cat-eared Girl is not pet, not pet - Lu Xun_1
[Wei’er glanced at you, the corners of her mouth twitching slightly.]
[The cat’s meaning was clear, she was telling you not to just say anything, affirming her tail could give you a pet as hush money.]
[Damn it, are you really that kind of person?]
[Just for a tail, to silence you, to stop your gossip, that’s impossible, unless...]
[Note: Unless it’s the tail of a cat-eared Lolita~]
[Traveler, you nonchalantly grabbed the cat tail in your hand, gently squeezed it, feeling the familiar, fluffy softness.]
[Mr. Lu Xun once said— a tail that comes your way, not to pet it is to waste it.]
[Ding! Your Happiness Level +20]
[Note: Damn Traveler, that tail is so delightful! You really are an honest gentleman~ But since when did Mr. Lu Xun ever say that? Don’t just attribute any damn rhetoric to Mr. Lu Xun!]
Luo Xi: "..."
This feels somewhat absurd.
The cat actually offered her tail for him to play with willingly?
Although he had petted it before, he mostly did it sneakily, or as compensation when the cat felt a bit guilty toward him—like after he died and resurrected.
After all, how could a tsundere cat-eared girl casually let someone touch her tail?
[Traveler, you gently rubbed the tail you were holding.]
[Since you were sitting on the bedspread right now, with your left hand propped behind you, Shopkeeper Lena stood in front of you, she couldn’t see the little movements behind you, you noticed the cat girl’s pretty face getting a bit redder.]
[Ding! Your Happiness Level +10]
[Note: Damn Traveler, now you can stage a scene of wantonly teasing the cat girl right in front of an acquaintance, just don’t forget, behind you, there’s a cute Cute Wolf watching~]
Tease my head, damn text, why don’t you give me a high-definition temporary sync so I can experience it firsthand?
The damn text this time did not respond to Luo Xi’s request.
Luo Xi didn’t want to waste his Immersion talent carelessly.
That thing only lasts ten minutes; it should not be used here.
The text continued to unfold.
[Wei’er said, "If Sister Lena agrees, we can start immediately, Luo Xi and I will go find Little Xier. It seems like Hiss has the ability to teleport at will within the Inner City. Later on, I want to ask him to send us directly to my mom’s old workshop, Mom once said, that workshop could fend off a Tier Four Transcendent."]
[Shopkeeper Lena remained silent.]
[She looked at you, the Traveler, as if asking for your opinion.]
[Traveler, you pondered, still rubbing the cat tail in your hand, then gently nodded.]
[This might not be your last trip back in time, what you know now is only related to the Rat King, your knowledge about the Mansion of the City Lord is very limited, so let Wei’er do what she wants, anyway, you will accompany this silly cat, won’t you?]
[Note: Damn Traveler, you seem quite spirited right now~]
Luo Xi smiled slightly.
Didn’t expect the damn text to give compliments too.
But that indeed was what he was thinking.
No matter what Wei’er wanted to do, he intended to follow and witness the unfolding events in Winter City with his own eyes.
Of course, he also had to avoid Rat King Nos, not knowing when he might come to catch the cat girl.
That guy seemed hellbent on killing him on sight, making things quite difficult.
If little Hill could break free from control and become their side’s strength, maybe they could suppress that stinky old rat.
Thinking of this, Luo Xi’s heart stirred.
Now, in Winter City, regarding this Divine Tree Festival, how many forces were involved?
The first was the Snake and Rat Meeting headed by Rat King Nos, though it seemed that the members of the Snake and Rat Meeting had been thrown into the Variant settlement. After the snow calamity, he didn’t know what became of the Variant areas.
Luo Xi still remembered having triggered a phase mission called Redemption once.
But even saving two beast-eared Lolitas was too hard, let alone saving more people.
The second was the force of Hill’s adoptive father controlled by the Mansion of the City Lord through some means, likely the Church of Truth, which had taken Wei’er away in a piece of history he had reversed.
The third party was their group of struggling individuals.
Was it just these three sides?
No, there were others, such as the high magistrate Delkus, who might have also been involved, though he likely joined one of the sides.
And there was the enigmatic Winter Legion.
Their opponents were old coins hidden for who knows how many years.
On their side, the strongest in terms of raw power was Lena, a Second-tier Skill Practioner who specialized in producing scrolls but wasn’t good at fighting.
Damn, could he get some powerful allies?
[Note: Damn Traveler, if things get too tough, you can shout out loudly, ’Mother-in-law, save me!’]
But that’s only if the mother-in-law was actually there!
Right now, the rune projection in the hat was still on mute.
Luo Xi rubbed his temples.
Better not to think too much for now, just take it one step at a time, after all, the SL strategy is his biggest confidence.
[Lena thought for a moment, then said, "Then let’s do as you both suggest, but you must be careful with your safety."]
[Wei’er nodded and said, "Luo Xi and I need to discuss a bit more."]
[Traveler, you stopped petting the cat tail, and Wei’er also promptly withdrew her tail, stood up, and looked at you with a slightly reddened face.]
[Ding! Your Proficiency +10 (pet)]
[Ding! Wei’er’s Embarrassment Value +10]
[Ding! Your Confusion Value +10]
[What else does Wei’er want to discuss with you?]
[If it’s just about finding Xier, isn’t it enough to follow the path you took last time, avoiding the guards?]
[After the impact of the snow calamity, how many guards can still be on normal patrol?]
[You arrived at the room next door.]
[Traveler, you asked in confusion, "What’s the matter?"]
[Wei’er looked at you, hesitating for a long time before asking, "Pervert... Luo Xi, can you really not die?"]
Luo Xi: "..."
Indeed, even after witnessing his death and return, the miracle of resurrection was hard to believe.
[Traveler, you said confidently, "I won’t."]
["Then, can you help me..."]
[Traveler, you said without hesitation, "I can."]
[Ding! Wei’er’s favorability towards you +10]
[Cat Cat looked at you with a puzzled expression, lifted her head, snow-colored hair falling from her shoulder, and asked softly, "Aren’t you going to ask me what I need help with? You just agreed like that?"]
[Traveler, you reached out and moved your hand towards the girl’s head.]
[The girl seemed to think you were going to touch her ears again, but she didn’t move away.]
[Traveler, you flicked Wei’er’s forehead with your finger and then quickly retracted your hand.]
[Wei’er held her head (〃＞＿＜〃) looking at you and whined, "Ow, what was that for?"]
[Traveler, you said helplessly, "Come on, tell me what you need me to do. Now seems to be the best time, let’s hurry up and get going."]
[Wei’er lowered her hands and said in a low voice, "I was thinking you could help me check out the situation at the Divine Tree later. With Hill’s assistance, we might be able to get close to the Divine Tree, but there will definitely be a lot of people guarding it."]
[Traveler, you said, "Hmm, I got it."]
[Wei’er: "..."]
[Ding! Wei’er’s favorability towards you +5]
[Traveler, you started your action.]
[You and Wei’er comforted Aina, put on enough thick clothes, and the two of you left the inn and embarked on the road to the Mansion of the City Lord.]
[In the cold wind, you and the girl beside you didn’t speak again, simply advancing towards the location of the Divine Tree, getting closer and closer to the Mansion of the City Lord.]
[You are on your way...]
....
Nos sensed the information coming from those still living rats in his mind.
Wei’er’s location moved?
Based on this trajectory of movement... have they gone to the Mansion of the City Lord again?
Are they still not giving up?
Nos smirked disdainfully.
He could guess what the child wanted to do without much thought.
She must be looking for clues about her mother, Liya.
But Liya had long since died, just like old Hiss; inside the Winter Divine Tree, there was no space for anyone to live.
It was all Liya’s damn fault for what she did to herself.
After obtaining the True Canon, not only did she not leave, but she also turned around and set a spell seal.
Liya couldn’t possibly still be alive. What she left behind was only the spell seal near the Divine Tree, comparable to the strength of a Tier Five.
However, the exterior barrier of Winter City had disappeared, so why didn’t Wei’er and the others leave?
Do they really think they can bring Liya back?
Nos almost thought he would need to chase them out of the city.
Forget it, since their target was the Mansion of the City Lord, he wasn’t in a hurry.
With the two keys related to Liya’s seal in his possession, the staff in his hands, even if Wei’er fell into Mazar’s grasp, without this Lost Yuan Qi – Echo of Azure, it would be impossible to reverse the seal set by Liya back then.
In the end, they would still need him to take action.
It’s just that this little City Owner is a bit troublesome.
Could Mazar really control the keeper of the power of the Divine Tree?
Even if it’s just a child with a fraction of the power, if there’s a problem and backlash occurs...
...
[Traveler, you arrived within the bounds of the Mansion of the City Lord, just as you expected, most of the guards on the road had disappeared, and many people were buried in the snow.]
[From here, you could see the distant Divine Tree continuously shaking off the snow from its body, and after the snow is shaken off, perhaps the first layer of the golden barrier will return.]
[Just as you and Wei’er were contemplating how to enter the Mansion of the City Lord again, a childish voice sounded.]
["You two... are you here to find me?"]
[Suddenly, a young boy appeared in front of you and Wei’er.]
[The boy was Hill, smiling at the two of you, holding a cube-like toy in his hands, his nimble fingers constantly twisting the cube.]
[Traveler, you asked, "Do you still recognize us?"]
[Hill nodded, "I recognize you, you two are my friends, it’s written in my notes, and I remember your scents."]
Luo Xi: "..."
Why did he feel like he was deceiving a child?
But, they should be friends, right?
[Traveler, you informed Hill of your purpose, and he quickly agreed. He sent you back near the inn and handed the cube to you, saying that once your party was assembled, by twisting the cube, he would teleport anyone within a five-meter radius of the cube to him.]
Luo Xi: "."
Had he known before, he should have asked Hill for something like this.
Then it wouldn’t have been so troublesome to run back and forth.
[Note: It’s a pity the child isn’t a little Lolita, otherwise he would be a new wife for you, you damn Traveler, wouldn’t he~]
I’m not that perverted, okay!
