Text Game: It All Began when a Cat-eared Girl Took Me In-Chapter 974 - 479: A Future Wager with Star Bell, No Longer a Puppet Girl (4K)
"Heh."
Star Bell had no idea where this mortal got his absurd confidence from.
No matter who she chose as her Agent, wasn’t it all at her whim?
Do you really think you can manipulate our will?
We have to choose you, a mortal who is disrespectful to the gods?
Hmph, just wait and feel endless regret in the future timelines, Trash Fish! (〃＞皿＜)!
The pink-haired Lolita kept reminding herself that if what this mortal said was true, and he had traveled through the Endless Void to the past, then her future self would definitely not choose this guy!
Seeing that the Female Ghost’s expression seemed quite rebellious, Luo Xi had a thought and laughed:
"How about we make a bet, Lord?"
"A bet?"
The pink-haired Lolita looked over with a suspicious expression.
On Luo Xi’s tender white adorable face, the corners of his mouth curved up slightly in a mischievous smile, like a cunning little fox.
Hiss! —
Star Bell subconsciously wanted to refuse.
Definitely up to something!
Not being able to read minds was indeed a hassle.
With her ’modest’ experience, plus having skipped many important "Psychology of Mortal Spirits" classes at school, she couldn’t tell what Luo Xi, a mortal unaffected by divinity, was thinking.
Damn, if only I hadn’t skipped so many classes back then...
She remembered her teachers saying that although mortals did not have eternal life, their wisdom might not necessarily be inferior to that of gods. Therefore, when dealing with mortals, one must maintain the dignity fitting a god, or else some crazy mortals might entertain ideas of slaying or blaspheming against gods...
Even in front of this mortal, she seemed unable to maintain her dignity.
When Luo Xi first saw her, her pretentious affected manner of speaking was obviously mocked by him, as if he understood her true character.
Could it be that her future self had actually formed a good relationship with a mortal?
But wasn’t her future self’s relationship with him supposed to be that of a god and a subordinate Agent?
Luo Xi propped his chin, contemplating: "Could it be, Lord, that you’re scared?"
The pink-haired Lolita bristled with anger: "Scared of you, a mortal? As if! Just say it, what’s the bet? I’ll let you see what happens when you cross a god!"
Suddenly, Luo Xi felt that Damn Text at this moment was sort of... easy to fool.
Pointing to himself, he said, "The bet is that the one you will choose in the future can only be me, and it will be me."
"Quite confident."
Star Bell narrowed her eyes: "Then what’s the stake?" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Without a second thought, Luo Xi said, "The stake is a request—something that must be done within your capacity to fulfill. How about that?"
Star Bell crossed her arms and huffed: "And if you lose?"
Luo Xi spread his hands casually: "If I lose, then I’ll lose everything I have now. If you still want me to fulfill the bet by then, I’ll have nothing left to give you, at most my life."
"That... your life is of no use to me."
The pink-haired Lolita blinked her pale pink starry eyes.
She had to admit, he seemed to have a point.
She started feeling a touch of unease.
This mortal sounded so serious and confident; could it be that her future self really had to pick him as her Agent for some reason?
In theory, no matter who she chose, it should depend on her will.
But if she didn’t pick him, how did he manage to come back here?
Ahhhh! This stuff about altering the Timeline was just too much for her, a ’poor student’ who hadn’t studied well in school.
"So, are you scared, Lord?"
A childlike voice rang ethereally from in front, its tone threaded with a hint of mockery.
The pink-haired Lolita’s head heated up in an instant: "Fine, we’ll bet! If I choose you in the future, I’m a dog!"
"..."
Luo Xi wanted to say that you are actually Damn Text.
But after thinking about it, he chose not to speak out loud.
Some things lose their fun when said out loud, plus Luo Xi wasn’t completely sure himself.
He didn’t know whether his current self was following a predestined historical path or creating a new timeline and fate.
If this timeline was brand new...
Would Star Bell really choose not to pick him?
This thought only briefly fluttered through Luo Xi’s mind.
Luo Xi smiled faintly at the pink-haired Lolita: "Then let’s wait and see."
Star Bell was somewhat panicked but quickly composed herself.
To Luo Xi, what he had experienced was the past.
To her, it was the future.
Who can be certain about the future?
"We’re currently moving full speed toward the direction you called out to me from," said Star Bell with a frosty expression. "Fortunately, it’s not too far. It will take a period of time to get there. When we arrive, I’ll think of a way to send you back to Big Silly’s world."
Luo Xi frowned: "How long is a period of time, in terms of that world’s standard?"
These gods with limitless lifespans probably all have an abnormal sense of time.
If it’s going to take hundreds of years on the other side, the celery would be cold by then.
The pink-haired Lolita mused: "Let me think... probably about nine or ten years?"
"Just as I thought."
