Text Game: It All Began when a Cat-eared Girl Took Me In-Chapter 952 - 469: It’s Not That I Like Tiny Things! Longing Across Time (4k)_2
Or is it a new, different from the beta line, a gamma line now that he’s involved?
The former represents the fact that he could not change everything in the past.
Because what he did in this era would become the foundation of what he would encounter when he came to this world back then.
The latter implies that whatever he does here will cause corresponding changes in the era eight thousand years later, but he doesn’t know what those changes will be, unless he waits until he returns to find out.
It’s possible that by the time he returns, everything about it will have changed.
By then, Cat Cat, Aina, and Feya—would they still recognize him?
As Luo Xi thought about this, he couldn’t help but tighten his grip on the soft thighs beneath him.
The more he thought about it, the more terrifying the contemplations became.
Is everything I’m doing truly meaningful?
On some higher dimension, is there not an immensely towering being that has long known all of the future and the past?
"Little Luo Xi, what’s wrong?"
"Nothing."
"...."
Florecia noticed that Luo Xi’s grip on her thigh had tightened.
Of course, it didn’t hurt.
After all, he was just a child.
But Luo Xi’s strange mental state was causing her some concern.
After these days of getting to know each other, she didn’t know why, but although the child seldom spoke, seemed a bit dull, and frequently knew nothing when asked, she just grew fonder of him.
Of course, it was just fondness, nothing more.
The jokes about having him marry her when he grows up were naturally just that, jokes.
The system she personally loathed the most was that between the nobility, such as child grooms and child brides, a custom that likewise pervaded among the nobles because a child raised from a young age could completely be trusted. Even if they couldn’t serve as a principal wife, it wasn’t bad to be a warming maid or a personal bodyguard.
Moreover, because the head of the household could make their own selection and shape the fostered child’s postnatal character, often the affection these child grooms/brides received from their masters was enough to make regular maids and bodyguards green with envy.
However, such idyllic life usually came to an abrupt end the moment the chief wife entered the master’s family or the female master married out.
For the chief wife who joined a noble family, killing a servant was as simple as uttering a word.
And the head of the household mostly had no say in the matter, unless the chief wife’s family was significantly weaker than the master’s; otherwise, they wouldn’t trouble themselves over such ’minor’ issues.
A female master marrying into another noble family couldn’t possibly take her personal bodyguard with her—what man could tolerate his wife being affectionate with someone else?
So, Florecia just thought Luo Xi was adorable and wanted to raise him well.
That’s right, that’s what she thought!
She was not some pervert who would have such thoughts about such a young child.
The red-haired girl quietly lowered her head to glance at the slender boy’s profile in her embrace.
Luo Xi’s delicate and well-behaved youthful face, his fair skin, and those blushing earlobes made her unable to resist the urge to lick them.
Truthfully, she wasn’t aroused by his looks, but she had indeed never seen such a beautiful child before, and she wondered what he would look like grown up.
Too bad, it’s still too early for that.
Let her take care of him until his coming-of-age celebration at sixteen.
The maid, Mu Yu, quietly observed her young lady and her ’child’ from the side.
This won’t do.
Continuing like this, the young lady will certainly fall.
Even she felt an inexplicable desire to grow closer to the child after watching him for a while.
Though ten years is not too short nor too long, there are far too many accidents.
Moreover, this child is a natural Mutant Patient; if the factors within him awaken at any time, he might soon die.
Sigh...
She wondered if the items brought along would be sufficient.
The Duke and the young lady’s brother must already know about the young lady’s disappearance, right?
Perhaps one day they will send someone to take the young lady back.
This is an inevitable event.
Then, it will be time for them to say goodbye to this child.
"Young lady, Heaven Silver City is right ahead; we’re about to arrive," Mu Yu said softly.
The Wilderness Ground Dragon Car came to a stop.
This was a high slope, and looking down from it, a large city located a few kilometers away was enclosed within a ring of silver walls.
Florecia exclaimed excitedly, "Let’s go for supplies, I’ve been eating nothing but dried food and meat sticks these past few days, I feel like my stomach is going to give out."
The maid retorted, "It’s clear that you, Miss, are the one who eats the most, and despite that, you don’t grow any taller."
Human growth generally stops by age sixteen for adults, and by eighteen for girls.
Florecia pouted and said, "Well, but, but I am growing boobs, unlike Mu Yu, who stays so flat no matter what she eats or uses, what’s the use of being tall then?"
Mu Yu: "..."
Luo Xi really wanted to laugh in Florecia’s arms.
Why do the short torment the flat-chested?
This reminded him of Cat Cat and Aina.
As the older sister, Cat Cat was always being bullied by her younger sister, which was quite tragic.
Although Aina wasn’t very tall now, there was already a hint of a Size C breast forming on her 155 cm frame, which was right around average height, now she even stood five or six centimeters taller than Cat Cat.
And that was considering Aina hadn’t been eating properly during the two and a half years he had disappeared.
Those two sisters might really achieve the feat of the younger sister resting her bosom on the older sister’s head someday...
Just the thought was quite amusing.
As for Feya, considering her mother Lisiti’s standard, she probably still had some growing to do since she was only forty something—an age considered quite developed among the elves. Maybe one day that fox mother elf would grow a few more tails, enough to serve as a blanket outright.
Speaking of which, the ability to change size of the little underclassman Ai Xue was truly divine, a perfect girlfriend during the day, and at night, one could experience the thrill of a legal transgression (cough).
As Luo Xi thought about this, his mood turned a bit somber.
He missed them a little.
If he suddenly obtained godlike powers now, could he leave this place, find his own world, and see those ancestors of his who fought with stone weapons?
"Little Luo Xi?"
"What is it?"
Luo Xi looked back, craning his neck to see Florecia.
But a pair of full bosoms blocked his view.
"..."
It just felt absurd.
He had thought Dragon Mama’s transformation into a human form must have had some self-imposed conditions, but actually seeing a human girl not much taller than Cat Cat with bosoms that rivaled Liya and Lisiti’s softness was still enough to make one marvel at the wonder and diversity of life.
Florecia tilted her head.
She stepped back a little before she could see Luo Xi’s face.
Luo Xi gave a soft smile and said, "I just miss home a little."
As soon as he said this, even Mu Yu, who was watching the events unfold, perked up.
This child had never mentioned anything about his family or his own situation.
"Where is your home?" Mu Yu asked.
Florecia pricked up her ears.
Luo Xi raised his hand and pointed to the sky, his eyes deep, and said softly, "In a place far away, unreachable."
The world beyond is an endless Void; his world was just a small bubble in the Void, searching for his home from here, just leaving this world was not something he could possibly do.
No wonder Damn Text said there would come a time when he would have to part ways with them.
Creatures from different dimensions have different perceptions of time, because except for the gods, there is no real Species of Longevity. Even the Dragon Emperors who have lived for tens of thousands of years were able to do so because they mastered the power rules of the world, completing a kind of divination in some sense, granting them such lengthy lifespans.
"A very distant place, huh."
Florecia gently stroked Luo Xi’s head, pulling him back into her embrace; she enjoyed the close contact with the child.
"It’s okay, from now on, you just follow us, wherever mom is, that’s home."
Mu Yu smiled faintly as she parked the car about a kilometer away from the city and got out to explore the situation first.
But soon, she returned with an extremely odd expression.
"Miss, there’s trouble, you’ve been put out for bounty by your grandfather! Oh no, I mean, there’s a reward for us! We’re now worth ten thousand pounds of Essence Crystal, a piece of epic-tier Lost Yuan Qi, as well as Tier Five formulas and materials."
"...huh?"
Florecia, who was enjoying her time snuggling with Luo Xi and bundling him into her embrace, was momentarily stunned.
What the hell?
All that just to find them?
She felt like turning herself in.
And then take the reward and run away again, her travel expenses for touring the continent would be settled then...
