Text Game: It All Began when a Cat-eared Girl Took Me In-Chapter 528 - 313 Aina: No foxes and such, Aina and sister’s tails are for brother to play with (6k)_2
This Dragon Lady would press Luo Xi into her nefarious snow-white bosom any chance she got, and there was nothing they could do but watch in frustration from the sidelines.
It was a truly aggravating feeling.
"Let’s go take a look then."
Soon, Wei’er and Aina fell into a deep sleep, succumbing to the lulling effect of the cradle.

Emerald City.
Although Kureya didn’t understand the intentions of the Emerald Mother Tree, as a qualified servant, once the goddess’s oracle was pronounced, she would do her best to fulfill it.
She naturally couldn’t agree to all of Luo Xi’s outrageous demands.
But just the manor and some shops—that wasn’t a big problem, after all, the central street of the Royal Court was brimming with properties of the Sylramir Clan.
One day, when the Mother Tree grew tired of this human, she might just have him thrown out.
Kureya looked at Luo Xi and asked, "What is your name?"
"Luo Xi," Luo Xi thought for a moment, then added, "You can also call me ’Traveler Just Passing By.’"
Kureya: "What?"
Is there something wrong with this human’s brain?
Kureya couldn’t grasp this human’s train of thought, so she continued along the same vein, "Then Luo Xi, as well as Sasha, I will make arrangements for your accommodation and identities. You are free to move around here, and when the day comes for you to leave, I will have Lisiti come over to meet with Sasha."
Feya nodded slightly.
She knew she wasn’t in a position to make demands to Aunt Kureya.
Although she didn’t understand why her aunt wanted to keep them here, the chance to see her mother, even if just for once more, was enough.
Luo Xi asked curiously, "What kind of identity would you be able to arrange for me? Could it possibly be something like a governor?"
Kureya’s gaze shifted to Luo Xi’s handsome face, thinking to herself how cheeky he was.
"Of course, that of an ordinary citizen of the Emerald City."
[Give... him... governor...]
Kureya: "...."
Damn.
Are you even listening to yourself, Mother Tree?
And since when do we have a position like governor?
Somewhere in the surrounding air, a strand of Emerald light quietly emerged.
Seeing that the Origin from the Mother Tree was about to run out again, Kureya immediately made a concession, "If you really want the position of a governor, it’s not impossible, but you need to understand that such a mere title holds no real significance, and you won’t obtain any corresponding power."
Luo Xi: "!"
Absurd. He was just speaking off the cuff. After all, if they wanted to keep him, they surely had their reasons and wouldn’t just kill him, so Luo Xi was quite nonchalant with his outlandish requests.
Unexpectedly, the Elf Empress actually agreed to his request, even if it was only a titular position.
Meanwhile, Kureya secretly praised her own cleverness, only to hear an unclear voice whispering in her ear.
[Give... him... power]
Kureya: "???"
If not for the education she had received since childhood that had instilled good manners in her, she might have cursed out loud.
What in the world are you thinking, Mother Tree?
Being so good to a human, is he by any chance your long-lost son?
Kureya pushed aside the disrespectful thoughts about the Emerald Divine Tree that sprang into her mind.
Forgive me, forgive me.
This Elf Empress, revered above tens of thousands under the Mother Tree, felt a deep sorrow welling up inside her.
To serve the Mother Tree for a long time was seen by countless of her kin as the ultimate honor.
She had once thought so too.
But since her ascension to the throne, the Mother Tree had always been cold to her.
So cold that she wondered if she might be a false Elf Emperor.
Today was the first time the Mother Tree had ever issued her eager directives and demands, yet they were all for a Variant human, which felt quite unreal to her, as if she hadn’t fully woken up yet.
Luo Xi then said, "Oh right, I also want to—"
Kureya’s beautiful phoenix eyes stared coldly at Luo Xi, "No, you don’t."
Luo Xi: "..."
The Empress’s icy gaze, sharp as a blade, sent an involuntary shiver down Luo Xi’s spine.
[Note: Garbage Traveler, this noble Elf Empress currently seems unable to refuse any of your requests; you should hurry up and have her send all the little Elf Lolitas over.~]
That’s enough.
It seemed she had acquiesced to his casual requests because of the Emerald Origin that had appeared just before, but even that had its limits.
If he were to really push things too far, Luo Xi felt that the Elf Empress might, in a fit of rage, disregard everything and have him removed first.
Keeping a poker face, Luo Xi continued, "Let’s leave it at that then."
"Mhm, the specific identity and position arranged for you will be delivered before the evening. I will assign you a guide, and whatever questions you have, you can ask her."
Kureya really didn’t want to see Luo Xi’s face any longer, and after saying so, she was ready to turn and leave.
However, after taking a step, Kureya turned back to look at Sasha, the fox-eared girl standing next to Luo Xi. Those eyes, as deep and cool as an autumn pond, revealed an immensely complex emotion.
"Sasha, since you have this rare opportunity, you might as well take a good stroll around Emerald City."
Feya nodded gently.
Like Luo Xi, she had no understanding of this city in which she had lived for over thirty years.
Her first thirty years had slipped away within that cage-like courtyard, like a bird trapped in a cage, until ten years ago, when she finally escaped and stepped into the vast world.
