“Lying is not a good thing.”
The black snake’s gaze moved through Wei’er and into the living room behind her, “Little Wei’er, when your mother was still alive, you used to call me uncle, didn’t you? Now you’ve grown up and become prettier, but your personality has become less likeable.”
“Don’t try to cozy up to my sister!”
Aina popped her head out from beside Wei’er with a look of disgust, “You bad person! All of you from the Snake and Rat Meeting are bad people. My mother was harmed by you, and now that harming her wasn’t enough, are you here to press us two sisters?”
“Where did you little wolf cub get the courage to act wild in front of me?!”
The black snake revealed his sharp canine teeth and scolded with a grimace, “This is Grey Stone Street! It’s our Snake and Rat Meeting’s territory. I’m speaking to you nicely because of the tasks your sister did for our Snake and Rat Meeting in the past. If it were someone else, they would already be dead! Don’t take kindness for weakness!”
Aina shuddered all over, frightened, and shrank back, her ears drooping down.

Some people downstairs could no longer stand by and whispered, “He sees that the sisters are pretty and is just looking for any excuse to force them to comply.”
“Disgusting, not even sparing such young children. Among those two sisters, the older one is only about fifteen or sixteen, right?”
“Hey, I remember that black snake; doesn’t he like men?”
“Maybe his tastes have changed?”
“Nonsense! I have no interest in little brats like that at all! What are you spouting? Do you want to die?”
The black snake suddenly became furious and roared down at them. He didn’t want the residents of Grey Stone Street to think he was a dead loli-con. Where would his dignity and authority be after that?
If his colleagues in the Snake and Rat Meeting heard about this, they would no doubt relentlessly mock him.
Of course, there were also those who mocked him for liking men, but he never cared. That was because he would break into that person’s room during the night after being mocked to teach them a lesson and enjoy their terrified expression.
But rumors of liking young girls…
The black snake indicated he couldn’t accept that.
After scaring the neighbors back inside, the black snake narrowed his eyes at Wei’er, “Are you going to hand over the person or not?”
“How could I give you someone, conjure someone out of thin air for you?”
Wei’er stepped aside to open a path and said with a mocking expression, “However, Black Snake ‘Rat Rat,’ if you dare, you’re welcome to come in and search yourself.”
“This…”
A wariness appeared in the black snake’s eyes.
Many coveted Liya’s inheritance, but very few had the courage to actually make a move. As a Tier Four Skill Practitioner, even in death, Liya’s deterrent power was enough to intimidate many of the small fry.
Who knows if these two had any skill scrolls left behind by Liya in their possession?
Two years ago, a group tried to sneak into Liya’s house and ended up easily roasted into charcoal by a fierce cyan flame.
Furthermore, the boss was someone who didn’t forget old favors. He had commanded members of the Snake and Rat Meeting not to disturb Liya’s daughters, which was why they had been able to live peacefully over the years.
Otherwise, in a place like Grey Stone Street, two defenseless young girls would have been devoured clean, literally.
The black snake earnestly advised, “Little Wei’er, why insist on making our relationship so tense for a stranger, for a man you don’t even know? You might not have to worry with your own abilities, but you wouldn’t want Little Aina to run into danger, would you?”
The cat-eared girl’s hand trembled imperceptibly, the grip tightening so much that Aina, whose hand she was holding, felt her bones ache.
“Sister…”
Aina lowered her bright eyes.
Wei’er watched the black snake with fierce eyes, her face icy as she said word by word, “Are you threatening me?”
The black snake smiled ambiguously without affirming or denying.
Actually, he felt somewhat uneasy right now.
She wouldn’t suddenly pull out a skill scroll and scatter my ashes, would she?
After all, with the boss’s orders and since he was the one who came looking for trouble first, if he really were to be killed by a skill scroll, the boss might not even glance at his body.
Squeak—
The sound of a door being pushed open echoed from the living room.
Someone walked out from inside.
The black snake’s eyes lit up upon seeing the newcomer.
Aina opened her little mouth in surprise.
Wei’er cursed in her heart, thinking this fool must not understand human speech!
Hadn’t she told you not to come out?!
…
…
[Traveler, as Wei’er told you, you climbed back down from where you previously came.]
[This small secret chamber was filled with all sorts of books in great numbers.]
[In any place, books are precious carriers of knowledge and history; perhaps you can take some away to study in detail.]
[Traveler, you picked up a book with a white cover.]
[Would you like to open the book and read it?]
[Yes]
[You opened the book.]
[The book was filled with all kinds of strange symbols. After flipping through a few pages, you realized that you couldn’t understand the content at all, and just looking at the symbols on the pages made your head feel quite uncomfortable.]
[Most of the books here were similar to this strange one.]
[Would you like to put these books into your Dreamland knapsack?]
Luo Xi thought for a moment and chose no.
If he had treated this game as merely a game like before, he definitely would have stuffed all the good things he came across into the space of his pack without hesitation.
But these books belonged to the cat-eared girl.
[You found a page of yellowed, handwritten cardstock on a small table in the corner, covered with dense text.]
[Would you like to check it?]
[Yes]
[Liya—Birthday blessings and gifts for Wei’er’s thirteen years]
[My dear Wei’er, I’m so sorry that Mommy can’t be with you to celebrate your birthday today. I had wanted to tell you in person, but seeing you sleeping so sweetly, I didn’t want to wake you. Mommy has to go on an urgent mission, but don’t worry, I’ll be back in at most a week; I won’t keep you waiting too long.
Mommy is here wishing Wei’er another happy year of growing up.
Also, take good care of Little Aina during this time. Don’t spoil her too much or let her eat strange things, as she might get diarrhea easily.
Oh, and Wei’er, you mentioned before that you wanted to see the plum blossoms that can bloom even in the cold winter. Mommy will look for them this time out, and I hope to find some.
Speaking of which, spring is nearly here.
Mommy remembers a poet saying that even the thickest snow will eventually melt away. When the spring breeze blows, new tender buds will grow in the scars spread across the land, and beautiful flowers will bloom once again.
Wei’er, do you want to be the plum blossom that blooms in the cold winter or the fresh flower that welcomes the spring after the snow melts?
Hehe, I’ve gotten a bit carried away with my writing. The things written below, Wei’er, just pretend you didn’t see them.
Breakfast is ready and it’s on the table. Don’t forget to eat it, you two (*^▽^*).]
[At the very bottom of the text, there was a line of delicate small script, different from the text above, as if it was added later.]
[Three months have passed, and Mommy still hasn’t come back, big liar…]
[Ding! Traveler, your Sadness Value +10]
[Traveler, why do you feel sad?]
