?Chapter 85: Chapter 84: Aina’s brother-in-law is going to become her sister’s brother-in-law~_1 Chapter 85: Chapter 84: Aina’s brother-in-law is going to become her sister’s brother-in-law~_1 Wei’er remained composed.
But inside, her heart churned like the tide.
Who was this woman?
Why did she know her mother’s name, even her surname?
What was her relationship with her mother? Was she, like Rat King Nos, coveting something on her person?
Wei’er bowed her head in silence for a long time, while Aina also lowered her head, without uttering a word.
After what felt like an eternity, Wei’er finally raised her head and quietly said, “Liya is our mother. May I ask who you are?”
“So Teacher Liya is actually your mother…”
Under the gaze of the two little Lolitas, the woman paused for a long time, seemingly coming to a realization, before she said with a smile, “My name is Lena. You might not believe this, but I was once an apprentice of Teacher Liya. She led me on the path toward Transcendence and taught me various skills in scroll-making. Without Teacher Liya, I would likely still be eating relief meals from the Mansion of the City Lord.”
Wei’er frowned, “How can you prove it?”
She found it hard to trust someone who just sprang up out of nowhere, claiming connection.
Even Rat King Nos had played a three-year-long ruse.
Let alone this woman she didn’t recognize.
“Indeed,”
Lena clapped her hands gently, “Teacher Liya said I had a talent for making scrolls, and so she taught me the techniques for drawing runes, which are unique to her. Have you ever seen your mother making scrolls?”
Wei’er nodded, “Mhm.”
“Then, let me demonstrate it to you in person. Take this Third-tier ‘Thick Earth Barrier’ skill scroll you gave me as a template. I can’t produce a Third-tier scroll now, but I can manage a Lower-Second-tier skill—’Firm Earth Wall’.”
Lena then took a blank scroll and, under the watchful eyes of Cat Cat and Aina, personally demonstrated the skill scroll drawing process.
As the Yuan Su fluctuated, symbols generated at the tip of the woman’s rune pen and landed on the blank scroll.
Disassociate, reconstitute, take form.
After about forty minutes, the woman finally relaxed, having held her breath, and set down her special rune pen.
“Done! It’s been so long since I’ve drawn a scroll, I almost failed,” she said.
Lena handed the scroll to the young girl who had been watching, with a smile, “Take a look. If you’ve seen your mother make scrolls, you should recognize that the technique I used to make this scroll is the same as hers.”
Wei’er nodded slightly.
In fact, halfway through the drawing of the scroll, the girl had already been certain that this woman might indeed be related to her mother.
Even though she had never seen anyone else make scrolls, the woman’s demeanor and concentration while working, and those runes that seemed full of life, naturally reminded Wei’er of her mother who had vanished three years ago.
Her mother, too, used to make scrolls one by one in the small secret chamber.
Wei’er set the scroll aside and asked, “Sister, you must be a Transcendent of the Sublimation branch, right?”
Her mother had told her that only Skill Practitioners of the Sublimation path could make skill scrolls. However, as different Sublimation paths adapted to different skills, the scrolls that could be made were also very varied.
“Yes, Sister has already reached the Second-tier.”
Lena smiled and spoke, attempting to reach out and touch Wei’er’s head. Wei’er stepped back, avoiding the woman’s touch.
The woman raised her eyebrows, gazing at the young girl’s face, which greatly resembled that of her Master. Her throat moved, her voice slightly hoarse as she asked, “What’s your name?”
Wei’er’s cat ears twitched as she replied, “My name is Wei’er, and this is my sister Aina.”
“Is Aina also your mother’s biological child?” Sear?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
“Nope.”
The Little Wolf Girl smiled and said, “But even though Mama isn’t Aina’s biological mother, she is still her Mama.”
“I see.”
Lena nodded emphatically.
Then, she approached Wei’er again, still trying to pat her on the head.
Cat Cat still dodged.
The woman followed up.
“Don’t dodge, Wei’er,” Lena said cheerfully. “Let Sister check how you have grown up these years, see how your development is.”
“I don’t want to!”
Wei’er jumped onto the bed to escape.
Aina quietly opened the door and slipped out unnoticed, calling for Luo Xi from next door.
That was what had happened in this room before Luo Xi arrived.
Of course, Luo Xi had no idea.
Having just entered the room, he was now looking at the description on the text with a confused expression.
“Traveler, the innkeeper Lena hugged Wei’er, pressing down her trembling body, apologizing to the girl repeatedly, constantly saying sorry and blaming herself for not finding them earlier.”
Was this someone Wei’er’s mother knew?
In a city with a population of over three hundred thousand, they had randomly chosen a place to enter the city; Luo Xi had encountered Chu Tian, who was also a player, while Cat Cat had met someone related to her mother.
This kind of amazing coincidence was truly astonishing.
“The innkeeper let go of her hands.”
“She looked at you and asked, ‘By the way, why is this man with you? Is he also related to Great Master Liya?''”
“Traveler, you hear Cat Cat say, ‘Luo Xi is a companion we recently met.''”
“Aina muttered, ‘He’s not just a companion. Brother Luo Xi is the husband I found for my sister Wei’er. He’s going to be my future brother-in-law.''”
“Hearing Aina’s words, traveler, you have a bad feeling.”
“The shopkeeper was astonished, ‘He is Wei’er’s husband?''”
“Ding! Lena’s wariness of you +10”
“Wei’er’s pretty face immediately flushed as if she was bleeding, ‘He… he’s not my husband at all! Sister, don’t listen to Aina’s nonsense!''”
“Little Lolita added, ‘If Sister Wei’er doesn’t want Brother Luo Xi, that’s fine. Aina really likes Brother Luo Xi. When Aina grows up, Sister, don’t regret it. Maybe Aina’s brother-in-law will become Sister’s brother-in-law instead.''”
“Ding! Traveler, your Happiness Level +15”
“The innkeeper glanced at the young wolf-eared Little Lolita beside you.”
“Ding! Lena’s wariness of you +30”
“Note: Garbage Traveler, guess what the other person is thinking?”
Do I even need to guess?
She must think he’s a scumbag.
“Note: You know what’s up, don’t you? ~”
“Slap! —”
“Traveler, the door was closed by Shopkeeper Lena, and Aina was also taken back to the room.”
Luo Xi looked at the text, his expression now twitching with a hint of a smile.
“Um… senior, why are you smiling so weirdly… happy?”
A doubtful voice came down from above, black hair cascading down, the fragrance from the girl’s body drifting into Luo Xi’s nose, scented with shampoo and shower gel.
Luo Xi turned his head and looked.
Ai Xue was squatting beside him, looking at him.
So big, so white… the clothes.
Luo Xi turned his head back and calmly said, “Just got a bit bored, so I played a mobile game for a bit.”
Since you’re not giving me any work and having me sit here as a billboard guy, playing a game for a while shouldn’t be a problem, right?
Ai Xue smiled and asked, “What game is so fun that it made you laugh like that?”
Luo Xi: “…”
He couldn’t exactly say that part of the reason he was somewhat happy was because he’d been confessed to by a game’s wolf-eared Little Lolita, could he?
Ai Xue would definitely think he was a pervert.
Speaking frankly, Luo Xi actually didn’t quite understand this younger classmate’s thinking; she had been rejected by him several times and had even been blocked by him for three months since the start of the term. So why could she still talk to him with no hard feelings and even ask him to come to work?
If Luo Xi were a girl and encountered such a man, he probably would have long been cursing him as to nothing but trouble.
Come to think of it, what made this little devil of a junior fall for him?
Luo Xi pondered for a moment.
Forget it. Can’t remember now. In his second year, he participated in many volunteer activities and probably got to know Ai Xue slowly through these events.
In summary, he came to a conclusion.
It’s likely that this junior has a crush on his body.
