?Chapter 88: Chapter 87: Beast Ear Loli Kidnapping Plan Progress: 75%_1 Chapter 88: Chapter 87: Beast Ear Loli Kidnapping Plan Progress: 75%_1 [Traveler, the woman across from you no longer questioned you with a tone of suspicion.]


    [The woman looked at you with a complicated expression and said, “For now, I’ll choose to believe your words. However, you needn’t worry about their safety anymore. Their mother, Liya, was my long-time teacher and the person who changed my destiny, so I will protect these two children personally.”]


    Luo Xi was taken aback.


    What was this woman trying to do?


    The tone she used made it seem like she was planning to take over the care of the two girls and kick him out.


    [Traveler, you said, “It’s not that simple. If the dangers they face could simply be avoided by hiding here with you, then we’d be seriously underestimating those old ybs lurking in the dark.”]


    [“What do you mean?”]


    [Lena asked in astonishment, “What kind of danger have they encountered? Explain it to me clearly!”]


    [Traveler, you paused and then said, “Actually, Aina might be okay, but Wei’er was almost captured by people from the Church of Truth, and that so-called Rat King is a complete old yb.”]


    [“I don’t know what they need Wei’er for, but even thinking with my toes, I can tell that nothing good lies behind this. I don’t know much else, to be honest. I believe we might still be under their watch right now.”]


    [Traveler, you said, “If that’s the case and you still have the confidence to protect them in this incredibly complex environment, then I must say you’re formidable, and I’m willing to lend my strength as well.”]


    [After all, if this woman is so confident despite knowing how strange the situation is, she must be one of the hidden big shots in this ‘novice village.’ Shouldn’t I cling to her coattails?]


    [Lena was silent for a long time before saying, “They didn’t tell me about these things before. I wasn’t aware that they were still in such peril. I am just a novice who has barely entered the second tier as a skill practitioner, and indeed lack the power to protect them properly…]


    [“However… no matter what, I must find a way to keep Teacher’s two children safe.”]


    [The woman said with a very determined look in her eyes, “I didn’t know the teacher had children before. Otherwise, after she disappeared, I would have tried everything to bring them to Winter City for care. Grey Stone Street, what a broken place to live! Moreover, the crooks in Winter City are selling sweet potatoes leftover from pig feed to the Variants as food.”]


    [Traveler, you felt the woman’s firm determination.]


    [You don’t know her past, but if it’s as she says, and she had a deep relationship with the mother of the two cat-eared Lolitas, perhaps she could be a clue for you to find key information in Winter City.]


    [After all, from beginning to end, you don’t know what the Rat King and the Church of Truth hidden behind the scenes actually want to do.]


    [Lena muttered to herself, “Why didn’t that child tell me these things?”]


    [Traveler, you responded, “They are living in your house now, which is already involving you in their problems. There’s no need to drag you, the shop owner, into deeper danger as well.”]


    [“I don’t mind!”]

    [Wei’er’s distinctive crisp voice rang out as ripples spread across the door, and the girl walked right through the wavy door panel.]


    [Lena, astonished: “Wei’er, I told you not to come in yet…”]


    [Wei’er looked at Lena with those beautiful light red eyes and said, “Mom was your teacher, Sister Lena, but she was just your teacher. You don’t have a deeper relationship with us, so you don’t have to worry so much about us. Once the aftereffects of the Origin Disaster outside are over, Aina, Luo Xi, and I will immediately leave Winter City.”]


    [“Leave? Why would you leave?”]


    [Lena, suddenly anxious after hearing Cat Cat’s words, said, “You don’t have to leave at all; my house has many rooms, and you can stay as long as you like. Wei’er, please don’t be mad at your sister for blackmailing you earlier. That was just a joke. Once I realized you had some connection to Teacher Liya, I wasn’t going to kick you out! Otherwise, no amount of money could make me take in Variants!”]


    [“It’s not about being angry… It’s just as Brother Luo Xi said.”]


    [Wei’er said with a wry smile, “It seems like I’ve fallen into a vortex. There are many people watching me in secret, and staying here would only lead to a slow death. Finding a way to leave this city is the only way out.”]


    [As Wei’er spoke, she unlocked the door to let Aina, who was still outside, come in.]


    [Chu Tian, the chatterbox, also wanted to come in for a peek, but Cat Cat slammed the door shut, and then you could hear a muffled grunt outside.]


    [Lena asked heavily, “Is it really that serious?”]


    [Wei’er whispered, “Yes, Rat King Nos deceived me for three years, and the Church of Truth tried to abduct me last night. It seems they are all after something on me that I don’t even know about.”]


    [Lena immediately asked, “Did Teacher Liya leave you something? If they are after a particular object, then just hand it over to them.”]


    [“No.”]


    [Wei’er shook her head and said, “Rather than the things mom left at our house, it’s more likely that I myself am their target.”]


    [Lena fell silent.]


    [Even though she wanted to protect these two children herself, she also knew that her strength was nothing against those powerful adversaries.]


    [The cat-eared girl, hands behind her back and a sweet smile on her face, said, “So Sister Lena, there’s really no need for you to worry so much about us. Also, I definitely won’t give up the clues and traces left here by mom. When the day comes that we have the strength to confront them, we will naturally return.”]


    [“Sigh…”]


    [Lena let out a sigh, knowing that leaving might indeed be the best choice at the moment.]


    [The woman turned her head to look at you and asked, “After leaving Winter City, are you going to travel with this man until you find a place to settle?”]


    [“Sort of.”]


    [Cat Cat’s tail curled unconsciously around her hand as she softly said, “After all, Aina is really fond of him, and I think he’s a pretty decent person. It’s nice to have an extra companion when we’re out and about for mutual support.”]


    [Aina nodded in agreement, “Yeah! Brother Luo Xi promised to travel with Aina.”]

    Luo Xi: “(╬￣皿￣)”


    In fact, he also wanted to just take Wei’er and Aina and leave Winter City, this big quagmire, behind them.


    But was it really that simple?
