Text Game: It All Began when a Cat-eared Girl Took Me In-Chapter 704 - 365_1

Liya lowered her head, and upon thinking of her two adorable daughters, her beautiful face was filled with a smile.

However, after the image of her daughters disappeared, Luo Xi’s face appeared.

Liya’s expression stiffened.

She suddenly remembered something.

"Mother, how many Travelers from the Otherworld have sought refuge with us recently?"

"Those fellows? Counting them all, there’re less than thirty," said the beautiful woman as she flicked her long hair, scoffing, "Those Travelers from the Otherworld are essentially useless. Not only is their strength pitiful, but every single one of them is a treacherous cur. You didn’t see them taking the money given by our Sophia Family in the morning and then sneak off to other clans in the afternoon to play both sides in a sly operation. If it weren’t for the curious undying attribute that they possess, I really wouldn’t want to waste resources on them."

"I see."

Liya nodded slightly.

The rule-breaking behavior of those Travelers from the Otherworld did not surprise her.

With such godly undying abilities, anyone who did not use them to seek benefits for themselves would be a fool, right?

But Luo Xi seemed a bit different.

He indeed had many dissimilarities compared to other Travelers from the Otherworld.

Most Travelers from the Otherworld approached them almost solely to please them to obtain resources and wealth, spouting strange phrases like "Quick, give me tasks," "Big sister, crush me underfoot," and "Long live the Little Lolita."

But Luo Xi... that youth had gone to great lengths to save the nearly completely fallen Winter City, yet he made no excessive demands.

Even under her own relentless probing, he still wanted to leave in the end.

Though he was somewhat improper.

Would a proper man make advances on her little daughter who had not yet grown up?

She wondered how Luo Xi’s relationship with her daughters was now.

The main reason Liya chose to entrust Wei’er and Aina to Luo Xi and return alone to Dusk City was that Luo Xi had indeed done a lot for her two daughters, and her daughters had also developed deep feelings for him.

Besides, he had even saved her.

The most important thing was investing in the future.

That youth who claimed "My heart and actions are utterly unclouded; they are all that of ’justice,’" even amongst all Travelers from the Otherworld, must definitely be the most special one.

For some reason, Liya had such confidence.

It’s just that when the time for their next meeting came, they wouldn’t give her a ’surprise,’ right?

Six months was enough time for many things to happen.

She could only hope that Luo Xi was not that inexperienced.

When Liya thought of her adorable daughters with their bellies swollen like watermelons...

Seeing her daughter lost in thought, the beautiful woman laughed and said, "Ya’er, what are you thinking about?"

Liya paused for a moment, then shook her head with a smile, "I was thinking about my daughters. It’s a pity that I left in such a hurry last time and didn’t let you and grandmother see them even once."

"Ya’er’s daughters, I, too, would really like to meet them. You child, why didn’t you bring them back with you?"

Speaking of this matter, the beautiful woman’s heart filled with complaints.

A month and a half ago, when Liya returned alone, the beautiful woman rejoiced for quite some time after learning that her daughter and granddaughters were safe. Since then, she had been continuously complaining about Liya not bringing her daughters back.

The Sophia Family was not like the Hakmedea Family, which had an attitude of outright rejection and discrimination against Variants. After all, even Mutant Patients who carried the bloodline of their own daughter would undoubtedly be treasured and doted upon.

"Mother, I’ve said it many times already," Liya stood up, a fragrant breeze wafted over her azure gown as she spoke softly, "Mother, Wei’er and Aina are no longer children; they have their own lives. And I too am no longer the ignorant girl I once was who knew nothing and had her head filled with beautiful fairy tales. There are many things in this world that one has to experience firsthand."

"Right, right, Ya’er has grown up and even learned how to talk back to her mother,"

The beautiful woman feigned a teary look, wiping her face and weeping as if she were to be pitied.

Liya: "..."

Lord Mother, you’re already fifty years old, can you stop pretending to be young?

"Let’s leave it at that for now," Liya said, "If there’s any anomaly from the Hakmedea side, Mother, please let me know early. I don’t want to cause trouble for the Family. Also, please continue the recruitment of those Travelers from the Otherworld; they might be useful in the future."

"Alright," the beautiful woman nodded lightly.

At that moment, a white dove landed on the ground. It spoke from its beak,

"Lord Melissa, the City Owner of the Hakmedea Family requests to see you."

"Refuse him."

The beautiful woman said immediately, "Tell him I’m busy with important matters."

She could guess what Drake intended to do with just the tip of her toe.

The news of Ya’er’s return had somehow leaked out, and it was evident that Drake wanted to probe for information.

"He says that if you do not agree to meet with him, he will then initiate a Judgement Order with the City Owner, claiming that you are harboring a criminal," the dove continued.

"The Bernstein Family’s term will soon end, and next, our Sophia Family will take charge. If they have any brains, they would not do such a thing," Melissa scoffed.

In the Dawn Empire, apart from those Divine Trees below one hundred meters, all Divine Tree custodians were directly appointed by the Empire and operated on a rotation system, changing every ten years.

The Dusk City where they resided was one of the six Guard Cities of the Dawn Empire, with the control over the Divine Tree custodians being shared among the four major families.
