Siola raised an eyebrow, sensing that something was wrong. She then pulled a strand of hair of a different color from her head, flicked it, and it stiffened as she inserted it into the lock.
In less than two seconds, accompanied by the click of mechanical turning, the door lock opened.
"Brownie...uh!"
Sheolar anxiously pushed open the door and entered, only to see the familiar girl standing in front of the mirror, tidying her silver-gray hair that was gradually turning blue. She only turned around when she heard her call.
"Honestly! Since you're in the room, why don't you answer?"
Siola crossed her arms, her tone somewhat complaining, trying to hide the embarrassment of entering the girl's room through unconventional means.
The girl's behavior was somewhat unexpected for Hiola. As she had anticipated, the sulking brat would angrily question her about how she opened the door without a key, and whether she often came to her room.
However, the girl's gray eyes remained as calm as the ocean.
It was then that Ciola noticed Brownie had changed his hairstyle.
It wasn't her usual double ponytails, nor the single ponytails that waiters wear during business hours. Instead, her Roman curls were down at the back of her head, and her smooth silver hair cascaded down her back. Combined with her delicate features in a quiet state, it gave her a sense of gentle elegance.
The sense of elegance emanating from this mischievous, rebellious brat who darted around like a rabbit and stirred up trouble in the mercenary world gave Scion a feeling of seeing a ghost in broad daylight.
The next second, Siola realized that she really had seen a ghost.
"Mother."
The two words, seemingly plain and light, sounded like thunder to Siola.
A tremendous shock swept through her consciousness, leaving Siola's mind blank. Her body suddenly stiffened, and she opened her eyes wide in disbelief as she stared at the gray-haired girl who seemed strangely obedient.
"You, you, you, you, you!"
Thoughts finally returned to her blank mind, but they were in complete chaos. She couldn't even utter a single complete sentence, stammering and rambling incoherently.
If the guys in Sky City who had been punished by Charon's Mercenary List saw the King of Soldiers Raven showing such a panicked expression and posture, their jaws would probably drop to the ground.
"What, what did you call me?"
Although from the moment she adopted the kid, Ciola did indeed raise Brownie as her daughter, and the two were each other's most important family members, without exception.
Siola clearly remembered the scene of their first meeting. At that time, she was already famous in Sky City as 'Raven' and received a high-level commission from the leader of the Taixu Sect.
Just as she finished her mission and was about to leave, a little guy with two big buns in his hair jumped out menacingly and blocked her way, holding a small spiked club that matched his petite body.
The raven started the 'deal' between the two with its childish, innocent voice, leading her to leave the Taixu Sect. That was the beginning of everything...
The thriving Raven's Bar was actually a shop opened by Ciola to give young girls a home.
But Ciola never expected, or even imagined, that Brownie would call her "Mom."
"Mother."
Brownie wore a perfectly gentle smile, but inside he was overjoyed.
Oh dear!
She had never seen a crow so helpless!
It replenished my energy for having fun.
She didn't use the rabbit's body for nothing; she helped the little rabbit resolve the misunderstanding between it and its mother, the crow, and build a good communication relationship.
When Haitu finds out, she'll definitely shed tears, whether they're tears of shame and indignation or tears of utter despair.
In short, the debts owed to us in the parallel world are far too many!
"Mom, I'm sorry. Although my desire to go out and explore the world remains unchanged, I shouldn't always talk back to you, or at least I shouldn't always make you angry."
The gentle, heart-touching voice still lingered, leaving Siola stiff as a puppet; she even selectively ignored the first half of the sentence.
She gasped sharply, and in her panic, she involuntarily took a few steps back. Once she regained her balance, she patted her smooth forehead hard.
I've only had two bottles of wine.
Surely she's not that drunk?
And I didn't feel any of the dizziness that comes with being drunk.
Did I open the door wrong?
As if pulled into an illusion by an enemy, Siola carefully left the room, quietly closing the door and locking it from the inside.
Find the hidden spare key at the speed of light and use it to reopen the room door.
Upon seeing the same smiling gray-haired girl, Shiora asked worriedly:
Brownie, are you alright?
"I'm fine."
"If nothing's wrong, why are you...?"
This attitude can no longer be described as a 180-degree turn; its impact on Xiora is even greater than the light curtain shattering in the next second!
"I just met a new friend yesterday. We talked for a long time and said a lot, which made me understand a lot of things."
Brownie was speaking the truth, albeit with embellished and subtle language.
The problem between Little Rabbit and Crow Mom is actually quite simple: it's just a rebellious teenage girl and a single mother.
Ultimately, it's just a matter of you saying your thing and me saying mine, and before long, we lose the possibility of mutual communication and get stuck in a vicious cycle.
As long as both parties choose to calm down and think things through, reaching a good communication is definitely not a problem. Of course, a change in objective factors is also needed to resolve the issue and calm things down.
Just like now, Haha Rabbit doesn't need to leave Sky City; she can use her body to adventure in the Star Iron World.
She got a free game booster and a learning aid, as well as a half-wife.
Everyone has a bright future!
"New...friend?"
The expression of disbelief on Hiola's face gradually turned into one of astonishment. Just who could possibly cause such a dramatic change in Brownie in one night?
If she hadn't been certain that the gray-haired girl in front of her was the child she had raised, Ciola would have thought that Brownie was an imposter!
Although she didn't know who her new friend was or what his name was, Siola had already started thinking about whether to commission a statue of him to be placed in the bar and light some incense.
This is a true god!
"You and I……"
Siola suddenly didn't know what to say; those few "Mom"s still echoed in her mind.
But the next second, Hiola saw the gray-haired girl walking towards her with an angelic smile:
"By the way, Lao Xu... oops, Mom, do you want a husband?"
"Pfft, cough cough cough~!"
Siola choked on her own saliva, coughing repeatedly, her expression changing rapidly.
Could it be that Bronny's desire to venture out into the world stems from a lack of paternal love?
But how could it be presented in this way?
Besides, given Brownie's personality, it seems impossible, right?
Are you kidding me?
Siola spoke hesitantly, her tone losing its usual force.
"Yes, actually I found a boyfriend."
Brownie said with a smile.
Hiola: "???????"
Who dares to touch her little darling? The raven will end his soul; runes can be configured with a single click.
No, no!
Given Brownie's personality, how could she possibly have a boyfriend!
Moreover, she had been secretly watching the other party the whole time, without finding the slightest clue.
So, it was just a joke.
Seeing Ciola's ever-changing expressions, Brownie's smile widened even further.
"Okay, but it's true that I asked you before if you wanted a husband. I can recommend one."
"..."
Siola fell silent, her initial elation at having her adopted child call her "Mom" gradually turning into horror.
It really was a ghost!
What the hell happened?!
PS:
Chapter 361 Director Qiong has already written the script.
The bustling city, like a fairy boat, is completely silent at three or four in the morning.
The Candle Dragon System absorbs the excess light emitted by all the stars that enter the Immortal Ship's route through the Zhongshan Celestial Circle, converting the stars' brilliance into other forms of energy. Only the ethereal starlight emitted by distant stars can penetrate the deep celestial canopy and enter Luofu.
On the fifth floor of Yichen Inn, the vermilion lanterns outside the hanging corridor had long been extinguished.
Inside Hato's room, five holographic projection screens floated, and a sci-fi blue light shone on the face of a barefoot girl sitting in a chair, cutting a sharp dividing line at the bridge of her nose.
A standard broadcasting voice emanated from one of the screens.
"Welcome to today's Interstellar Peace Broadcast. First, let me introduce the main content of today's program."
"Communication signals have been restored to the frozen world of Yalilo-VI, suggesting that the planet's original inhabitants may still be alive."
"The ominous vanguard has issued a warning to the Sigma III system that malignant silicon-eating bacteria are spreading to the region."
"At the beginning of the Amber 2158th century, the Interstellar Peace Corporation proudly announces: Ms. Heta, a renowned scholar from the Genius Club, has formally pledged to establish a long-term friendly cooperative alliance with the Corporation."
……
"The value of genius is actually this high!"
Normally, at this time, Hato and Xiola would probably throw out all the guys who paid to be scolded by the two of them, clean up the bar, and then rest.
However, there seems to be a time difference between Sky City and Immortal Ship Luofu. Based on the available information, Sky City is expected to open around 6 or 7 pm.
Regardless of time difference, Miss Hatto couldn't sleep; an infinitely wonderful world opened up before her.
At your age, at your stage of life!
Are you able to sleep?
Miss Haitu chose to spend the entire night browsing the interstellar network to appreciate the incredibly vast and wonderful new world.
She rapidly tapped the projection keyboard with both hands, and the content on one of the projection screens changed accordingly.
[Silver Wolf, a member of the Star Core Hunters, invades the planet of Screwgoom, a member of the Genius Club, and clashes with Screwgoom, the Star King...]
"To be able to infiltrate a genius's planet and escape unscathed, that must be a planet-level supercomputer. I wonder how much computing power that genius named Screwgoom used. Even if he only used a portion, he could probably hack all the electronic devices in Sky City instantly, right?"
Miss Hatbite's mouth was practically watering.
Even the miniature quantum optical computer that Qiong gave her was worlds apart from that difference machine; the difference was so great that Haitu had no desire to envy it.
"Silver Wolf is indeed not simple."
Silver Wolf was the first hacker Hacker Rabbit heard of after arriving in this world, and a legendary hacker of cosmic caliber. As a hacker master himself, Hacker Rabbit already regarded Silver Wolf as the first target to surpass.
Haitu is confident that his talent in the field of hacking is second to none!
"Hmm, just like 'the other me' said, maybe we should find an opportunity to go to Punklord, or think of other ways to make contact..."
Haitu reclined on the wooden chair, wearing only panties on her lower body, revealing two plump and bouncy duck buttocks that would whet anyone's appetite at first glance, and her two slender and fair white legs were raised high and placed on the table.
Punklords, a planet rife with light pollution and electronic graffiti.
When Brownie first brought it up, Haha Rabbit wasn't very interested; she had already experienced enough cyberpunk culture in Sky City.
What matters is not the planet itself, but the unique power, or rather, technology, of Punklords – the Ether Editing.
The ability to freely edit reality like a program is not unique to Silver Wolf; legendary hackers like Punk Lord also possess the same capability.
