Text Game: It All Began when a Cat-eared Girl Took Me In-Chapter 209 - 174: The Lord Mother-in-law officially trials the garbage traveler who lured her daughters_1
Liya glanced at Luo Xi, who stood to the side with a (ó﹏ò｡) expression, and suppressed the urge to beat him up and throw him out.
After all, it was he who had saved Wei’er and Aina, and herself as well.
In the memory of her rune projection, she had already developed a certain favorability for this young man, but since the rune projection wasn’t really her, she had only accessed part of its memories.
But thinking about it, it was outrageous.
How many days had it been?
Wei’er and Aina, her two precious daughters, seemed as if they had been brainwashed by this guy, as if he had some kind of innate talent for attracting girls.
Could it be that this guy’s Mutation ability is related to brainwashing?
It was like the time Hill was controlled by Mazar with a high-tier True Canon skill, suggested to him through dark magic before he received a small portion of the Divine Tree’s strength, imprinting loyalty deep into his spirit. Even if problems arose, they’d erase his memory to make Hill forget key events.
Since she had sealed away the True Canon, and though part of the Divine Tree’s power had been transferred, most of the rights to the Winter Testament were still with Hiss at that time, which is why Mazar had succeeded.
However, Liya quickly dismissed this speculation.
Patients of the Red Dragon Species with Mutation Syndrome, their abilities are primarily reflected in their physique, strength, and the transformation of flames, and rarely relate to mental abilities.
Besides, it was impossible for him to brainwash her daughters without her noticing, that was the confidence she had as a Tier Four Skill Practitioner and Rune Master.
Cat Cat looked puzzled at her mother’s ever-changing expression.
Wei’er softly said, "Mom? You’ve already met Luo Xi, right? I don’t need to introduce him, do I?"
Although she didn’t know how her mother had met Luo Xi, the pervert, as long as they were acquainted, that made things easier.
Wei’er was not about to bring up some of the things Luo Xi had done for them that could increase his bad image in her mother’s eyes.
Being petted on the tail and ears by this pervert, and having her feet touched..., she herself felt embarrassed, how could she possibly voice such things?
Little did Wei’er know that her mother, Liya, had already found out about those unspeakable acts that Luo Xi had done through her own means.
Liya smiled warmly and said, "No need, I’ve seen with my own eyes the sincere and noble fiery spirit inside of him."
Luo Xi: "...."
Lord mother-in-law, what are you talking about?
Slap!—
Liya snapped her fingers lightly.
Suddenly, a large number of white runes surged around the bedroom. Within moments, a few chairs formed from the cluster of runes.
"I’ve got roughly the gist of his affairs, but I still need to question him. You two listen in as well, sit down," she said.
Liya sat in the middle chair.
Wei’er and Aina looked at each other, then sat down to Liya’s left and right.
Luo Xi looked baffled at the remaining chair across from him.
Is this one left for me?
Damn!
Why does it feel like he’s being treated as a terrible criminal?
An inquisition by the Tri-council, huh!
[Note: The moment of true judgment from the mother-in-law has finally come, trash Traveler, just confess honestly about your attempt to abduct her daughters and the bad things you’ve done to the two beast-eared Lolitas!]
I’ve said it several times, it’s called traveling! And Cat Cat is already of age!
Besides, the so-called bad things were just casual petting of their Mutation features. Although Cat Cat had her soft spots taken advantage of a few times...
He was quite restrained with Aina! He basically just touched Aina’s tail and ears! (Clear conscience)
"Sit down, look this way," Liya said.
Luo Xi suddenly felt his body stiffen.
He awkwardly sat on the chair, and looked up at Liya.
Compared to the Liya in swimwear from the rune projection, revealing her snowy white skin, the winterly dressed Liya was equally beautiful. With a face strikingly similar to Wei’er, but with a much more developed figure, the two sitting together looked more like sisters about ten years apart than mother and daughter.
Only her expression was quite cold, as if intent on freezing him to the chair.
Why is it that this synchronization has such a high-definition view?
Luo Xi had never noticed this before.
It seemed to have started from within that Rune Space inside the Divine Tree.
Generally speaking, shouldn’t normal synchronizations be blurred?
Damn text, it must be your doing!
[Note: Mhm~]
Liya frowned and asked, "What are you looking around for?"
Luo Xi immediately put on a serious face and looked her way.
Then he noticed Aina watching him as well. She deliberately brought her big tail to the front and made a (≧ω≦) face at him, delightfully displaying the essence of cuteness.
[Ding! Your Happiness Level +20]
[Note: To be happy at a time like this, Traveler, you really are trash~]
Luo Xi: "..."
What can I do about it!
Aina was clearly trying to cheer him up on purpose.
He was becoming more and more tempted to abscond with the Little Wolf Girl...Ahem.
Liya raised an eyebrow and glanced to the right. Aina had already resumed a normal expression.
With a slight motion of her finger, dozens of runes went unnoticed by Luo Xi and attached to his skin from behind. A series of Luo Xi’s bodily conditions entered her perception.
When a person lies, their heart rate, blood flow, and even thought patterns change.
So, there are skills specifically designed to detect lies.
Of course, aside from the mental lie detection skills, other methods are not entirely accurate. Liya was only using runes to achieve a similar effect.
Liya spoke calmly, "Before I ask you any questions, I want to thank you. You saved the entire population of Winter City, you saved Wei’er and others, and... you saved me. If it weren’t for you, Hiss might have successfully advanced, and I would not have been a match for him then. Everyone would have died."
Luo Xi hastily waved his hands, "No need for thanks, no need at all."
[Note: No need to thank me, Lord Mother-in-law, just giving me your two daughters as gifts will do. If possible, you could even package yourself up as a gift—damn Traveler, you can read it just like that]
Luo Xi: "(╬￣皿￣)="
Damn text, are you trying to screw me over again?!
Liya continued, "However, let’s be clear, I am speaking to you from a mother’s point of view now."
Wei’er was taken aback.
Aina also looked over curiously.
Why does Mom want to talk to Brother Luo Xi from a mother’s perspective?
Could it be...
Aina thought of those novels where the protagonists meet the parents of the girl they like, mostly getting engaged first, then going through a lot of things together before marrying and having children.
Aina’s face suddenly turned red.
Did Mom agree to those words Aina purposefully said in front of her?
But what about sister Wei’er?
Can they be together? That should be okay, right?
[Ding! Aina’s Shyness Value +50]
Luo Xi: "?"
He looked at the little wolf girl across from him, whose face had turned red for some reason, and was clueless about what the wolf-eared Lolita was thinking.
Wei’er was tightly pursing her lips, listening to her mother speaking, thinking that what her mother wanted to ask Luo Xi was probably not that simple.
Liya narrowed her eyes at Luo Xi: "First of all, why did you approach Wei’er and Aina?"
Luo Xi: "..."
Why did I approach them?
[Note: For abduction, right? Your two daughters are really something, Lord Mother-in-law~]
Shut up! I wasn’t asking you!
Wei’er spoke up to explain: "Mom, it wasn’t him who approached us. It was me who brought him home after I saw him injured and about to die."
Liya shook her head: "You two just listen, no need to speak."
Wei’er lowered her head: "Oh."
Luo Xi slowly said: "Just like Cat Cat... I mean, as Wei’er said, I indeed did not deliberately approach them. Everything happened by coincidence. I was saved by Wei’er, and then some things happened, so I stayed."
If it weren’t for the coincidence of being picked up by Wei’er at that time, Luo Xi figured he would not have gotten involved in Winter City’s hellishly difficult initial dungeon, and he probably would have left Winter City far behind by now.
"A coincidence?"
Liya nodded: "So, why were you so determined to save them? You’re not related to Wei’er and Aina, and if you truly have the ability to resurrect after death, even if Wei’er didn’t save you, you wouldn’t have died, right?"
Liya’s purple eyes stared intently at Luo Xi’s face.
[Note: Both beast-eared Lolitas are mine, not a single one less! — As the damn Traveler once said]
I never said such a thing!
Hm?
I shouldn’t have said it, right...
(Feeling guilty.jpg.)
Wei’er was stunned.
That’s right.
Luo Xi had the ability to resurrect after death, so even if she hadn’t brought him home that time, he would have been fine, right?
The cat-eared girl recalled the moments she had shared with Luo Xi since their encounter.
This guy had had many chances to take Aina away, but he always gave up. He liked Aina so much, and if he had taken the child and left her behind, he could have done whatever he wanted to Aina without her being able to intervene.
Was it because he didn’t want to leave her behind?
Wei’er’s face also went slightly red, and her long cat tail unconsciously wrapped around her hand.
[Ding! Wei’er’s Favorability +10]
[Ding! Wei’er’s Shyness Value +20]
Luo Xi: "?"
He looked toward the Cat Cat on Liya’s left hand side.
Wei’er turned her head away, avoiding his gaze, but the blush on the young girl’s face couldn’t be hidden.
I am being interrogated by your mother! What on earth are these two beast-eared girls thinking about?!
"Answer me!" Liya said coldly.
Luo Xi’s body trembled lightly, then he spoke softly: "Because I didn’t want to see them just die like that. If I hadn’t witnessed it, then it wouldn’t matter, but I did, and that’s all there is to it."
Liya nodded slightly.
From this point of view, she had not been wrong about this young man at the beginning.
But then she remembered the things this guy had done to Wei’er and Aina during this period.
"So, don’t you think that your actions have been inappropriate?"
Luo Xi was silent for a moment, then suddenly remembered a famous quote from a certain character and looked up with a smile: "My heart and actions are as clear as a mirror, and everything I do is righteous."
[Note: 6]
Liya: "?"
Damn it, I was asking about how you keep making moves on my daughters!
How can this guy be so righteous about it?!

I’m going to visit relatives far away today, so there should be another update tonight, but it might be very late, probably after two o’clock. You all can read it tomorrow.
