Text Game: It All Began when a Cat-eared Girl Took Me In-Chapter 961 - 473: The Sultry Nation of Meimo, Dark Night Pope Ai Xue (4k)_2
Luo Xi glanced at the Black Dragon Big Sister following beside him, the self-proclaimed ’Mu Mu’, The Black Dragon Emperor Bahamut.
Indeed, there was no need to worry about any danger.
He thought, if anyone foolishly approached them, it would be debatable who was actually in danger.
Not long after they entered the city, the sky gradually darkened.
The city suddenly lit up during a certain time period.
Dark Night, the true ’daytime’ of the Dark Night Country, with only 4 hours of daylight, which was actually their resting time. It was when night fell that the city’s unique characteristics truly shone through.
On the ancient cobblestone roads, lanterns of old-fashioned design lit up one by one, standing guard on either side like protectors, their warm and soft light illuminating Luo Xi’s vision.
The flowing river surface reflected the twinkling lights, dancing like a shimmering ribbon in the night, and humanoid races that looked almost like ordinary humans but had various small wings, small tails, and horns were walking on the footpaths.
As Luo Xi walked with them, he felt as though he had entered into a bizarre world.
The intertwining lights of various colors created a dreamlike atmosphere, making him feel an urge to blend into the city’s ambiance.
Is this... a dream?
Luo Xi even wondered if he had entered some kind of dreamland domain.
Even Big Sister Black Dragon beside him seemed immersed in the beautiful nightscape, her pale golden eyes looking ahead, silent.
It was only when they entered a relatively large alleyway that they spoke again.
A group of scantily clad, seductively dressed women, stunning and enticing, were waving their scarves on the second-floor balconies, or simply standing at the entrance of the alley calling out to people. They made no effort to hide their fair chests, and some even accentuated the fullness and perkiness of that area.
Most of these women had small, heart-arrow-like tails and dark little wings.
Luo Xi was reminded of his junior Ai Xue, who sometimes exhibited such characteristics.
Meimo.
He hadn’t expected that such a race truly existed in the Dream World. However, he guessed that this humanoid race would probably be much like elves, unlikely to be infected by the Mutant Factor.
Florecia asked curiously, "Why are they all dressed so scantily? Are they going to perform?"
Luo Xi’s mouth twitched slightly.
Goddamn scanty clothes and performances, those were clearly hookers.
Maid Mu Yu also facepalmed, her exasperation towards her young mistress mute.
The young mistress was truly naive.
The sort who could be tricked into coming home to have children any second.
If it weren’t for their company, she would likely get into trouble on her own in no time, possibly even being lured into some remote ravine.
At this moment, a Meimo woman who barely covered her crucial parts was pulling a chubby man along.
"Hey, handsome guest, don’t go, come have fun~"
"Hey, wouldn’t you consider it? Are you interested in a fling? It’s free~"
The chubby man hesitated, "Free?"
The Meimo woman smiled and said, "Of course, I see you’re in such good health, sir. Would you like to try our big health care package? Oh, and if you spend three days with us for ten rounds or purchase our top-tier package ’Hundred Times in Ten Days Tour,’ you can experience three different ways to enter my body, along with a hundred different positions~"
As she spoke, the Meimo woman even started to twist her body.
"What are the three ways of entering?"
The chubby man, gazing at the woman’s voluptuous rear, had eyes almost bulging out, his drooling mouth gaping open, clearly lost in lust.
Swinging her appealing peachy bottom, the woman’s coquettish face flashed a teasing smile, "Hehe, what do you think, sir? Innovation is key to life, right? Interested in exploring a new path?"
"Hiss—give me the top-tier package! I want the ’Hundred Times in Ten Days Tour’!"
"Alrighty!" The Meimo woman laughed even happier.
The excited chubby man confirmed, "One more time, it’s free, right?"
"Yes, indeed, you don’t need to pay any money at all, just enjoy the utmost pleasure of living here~"
After that, the chubby man was led into the Meimo woman’s house.
"..."
Inside, Luo Xi silently mourned the naive chubby man for ten minutes.
The free stuff is the most costly.
These roasted chicken Meimos certainly don’t take things seriously; my own little devil kouhai is so much better, easily shifting from big to small. Even though she’s sometimes awkward, the right amount of awkwardness is quite pleasant.
Thinking of this, Luo Xi’s gaze became distant again. For so long now, the mere thought of them, eight thousand years later, stirred within him an uncontrollable urge.
It’s been almost a year since he arrived.
How much longer before he can return?
Or perhaps, never to return at all?
Even if he could save Florecia, if he were unable to return from this era, then wouldn’t it all be meaningless?
Sometimes, Luo Xi deliberately avoided thinking about such things, but nostalgic feelings, the longing for home, have always been one of the hardest sorrows to resolve throughout the ages.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many enduring poems about homesickness in the ancient real world.
"Little Luo Xi..."
Florecia looked down at Luo Xi, whose hand she held.
Nothing about Luo Xi’s youthful face revealed what he was thinking.
But she could feel a profound sense of loneliness emanating from him, as if he did not belong to this world.
When would she truly be able to enter the heart of this child?
Bahamut also glanced at Luo Xi.
Knowing the truth, she probably understood what Luo Xi was thinking, but there was nothing she could do to help him.
She lightly patted Luo Xi’s head and teased him, "Wouldn’t you like to go have some fun?"
Luo Xi was taken aback, then immediately shook his head.
"No, thanks. I wouldn’t be able to handle it."
Fun my foot. not to mention his lack of interest in these easy rides, his body was still that of a child’s, incapable of misdeeds.
Speaking of which, according to the Damn Text, he was only missing Florecia’s symbolic ’star’ to fully recover to normal. Although he had found the person, this Florecia was different from the one in the later ages. They had been together for almost a year, yet there had been no change in Luo Xi’s body.
"What do you mean by ’can’t handle it’?" Florecia asked suspiciously.
"It’s nothing. Sister Mu was just joking," Luo Xi replied.
Hand in hand with the young girl beside him, Luo Xi looked ahead at the neon-lit night street.
I’m looking for you.
But it’s not you.
In the end, in this ancient era, he had no roots, like a drifting duckweed without purpose, waiting for the possibly inevitable ’node’ moment to arrive.

Itmar looked gently at the young girl before him, placed a crown adorned with black gems and platinum upon her head, and then handed her his staff.
"Ai Xue, you are gifted. I don’t know how you became the ’Child of Dark Night’, but since the god of Dark Night has chosen you, we will believe in you too."
Ai Xue accepted it, still in a daze.
Sitting in the Pope’s chair, looking down at the reverent clergy below, she lightly bit her lip.
Even now, she was unclear on how she suddenly became the Pope.
It’s been about 11 months since she arrived here, right? 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
During this long time, she had come to understand that she had traveled to a past era.
But she just wanted to find someone, or to return.
This position might be attractive to others, but to her, it was meaningless. She agreed to Itmar’s request only to find the person she was looking for.
With a sweep of his robe, Itmar turned solemnly and addressed the clergymen below, "The god of Dark Night has informed me that great changes may soon occur on the Mang Continent. To extend the world’s lifespan as much as possible, we will completely seal the city thereafter. After the new Pope and Lord of the Country, Her Highness Ai Xue, assumes office, I will issue a warning to the entire continent and initiate the highest level of alert! Whether they believe it or not, we shall carry out the will of the gods!"
"Now let us exclaim, ’Long live the Pope!’"
"Long live the Pope!"
Thus, a person from eight thousand years ago became the ruler of a nation.
In the midst of thunderous cheers, Ai Xue murmured to herself, "Senior, if you saw this, you’d think it was magical, wouldn’t you?"
