Chapter 127: A Grand Witch
Facts proved that the teleportation technology of the Witch World was truly advanced. Almost the very next moment after Nuo'erluosi clicked "agree," light spots flooded into this rooftop private room, subsequently condensing into a figure over two meters tall outside the pavilion.
"Senior, you've come."
Teacher Zhizhu was just about to stand up to express her welcome, but the Dragon Witch who had entered didn't look at her at all. Those domineering and majestic golden dragon eyes merely swept across the private room, finally resting on a certain little witch who had been eating melon while waiting to watch the show. Immediately, the disdain in her gaze transformed into a gentleness like water.
"Cough, cough..."
Dorothy, who had been happily eating snacks while waiting for the ceremony to begin, hoping to see what kind of "surprise" her roommate had in store, was truly shocked at this moment.
When she saw this familiar figure appear, she was so startled by the surprise that a piece of melon got stuck in her throat, and she immediately began to cough uncomfortably.
"Senior Sister, are you alright? Drink some water, drink some water."
The little fox on the side saw this and hurriedly picked up the beverage bottle at hand, preparing to pour some water for her Senior Sister to soothe her throat.
Hearing this commotion, the Spider Witch couldn't care less about the Senior who had returned after a long absence. Compared to this Senior who had betrayed her, her own precious apprentice was naturally more important.
Just as she was about to step forward to show concern and boost her precious apprentice's favorability, a powerful hand slapped onto her shoulder.
"Junior Sister Luosi, aren't you going to introduce to me which of these two is the super-amazing apprentice you just mentioned you wanted to groom?"
The Dragon Witch said this with a "kind" expression.
"It's the one coughing right here, Dorothy. Just as her name implies, she is simply a gift bestowed upon me by the gods. I was looking for you, Senior, because I wanted you to help me see which Grand Witch of her family's Dragon Kingdom she belongs to; I want to visit and discuss the apprenticeship as soon as possible."
Although the Spider Witch's Spider Sense (SSR) talent had already begun to warn her frantically, Nuo'erluosi wasn't very panicked. After all, this Senior had been freakishly strong since their school days, and her lousy talent had always flared up whenever she got close to her back then.
After so many years, she had grown accustomed to it. After all, although the Senior looked a bit fierce and wasn't easy to approach, once you truly lost to her, you would find that she was actually quite a good person.
Although this lousy talent was flaring up especially violently today, the Spider Witch just assumed it was because they hadn't seen each other for too long, and the Senior seemed to have become even stronger, which was why her talent was so unstable.
In a trance, she even seemed to see a vision of herself becoming a headless corpse lying limp on the ground.
Wow, good grief, even a death premonition had appeared this time. It seemed the Senior's strength was likely approaching that of a Sage. She truly lived up to her reputation. Originally, I thought I would see her back once I promoted to Peak Rank, but now it seems I'm barely even going to catch her exhaust fumes.
Nuo'erluosi sighed inwardly.
Then...
Then her head was grabbed directly by a dragon claw.
Spider Witch: "???"
Senior, although we really haven't seen each other in a long time, isn't this way of expressing emotions a bit off? Normally, shouldn't it be a hug or something?
And even if we mess around in private, my cute apprentice is here today. Give me some face, alright? I can't lose my dignity as a teacher.
Nuo'erluosi thought this to herself, and then she looked toward her precious apprentice's direction.
She saw the little witch who had been choking on melon earlier move the muscles in her throat, crushing the stuck piece of melon into powder. Then, after taking the drink handed over by the little fox and downing it in one gulp, she also looked toward their side.
Finally, the little witch opened her mouth and obediently called out one word.
"Mom."
"Uh..."
The Spider Witch was momentarily stunned, yet also somewhat delighted.
Ah, this, Dorothy... although there is indeed a saying among witches that "a teacher for a day is a mother for life," we haven't even held the apprenticeship ceremony yet. This is so embarrassing.
She thought this to herself, and then she heard a response from behind her.
"Mm."
The Dragon Witch nodded and answered with a smile.
Spider Witch: "..."
Wait, this is a lot of information. Let me process this. Why did my apprentice call "Mom," and my Senior answer?
"Dorothy, could you turn around for a moment?"
Youfeiliya said again with a soft smile.
"Okay, Mother."
Dorothy was a bit frightened by the murderous aura radiating from her own mother at this moment, to the point that she even used honorifics. She hurriedly turned around obediently, and even pulled her little Junior Sister, who was still bewildered and didn't know what was happening, to turn around with her.
Although Dorothy herself didn't know what was going on, or why her own mother had suddenly appeared in their private room and seemed so familiar with her teacher.
The little witch now suspected whether this teacher of hers was truly a spy sent by her mother to trick her, but with her mother looking so murderous, she didn't dare ask anything.
The two little witches turned around, trembling, and then they heard the miserable wails of their teacher coming from behind them.
"Senior, calm down, I can explain, really, give me a chance..."
"Senior, be gentle, you're hurting me..."
"I'm going to crack, I'm really going to crack, Senior, if you don't stop, I'll break..."
Crack...
Finally, amidst a sound like a watermelon splitting open, everything returned to silence.
Dorothy: "..."
The little witch, who could generally guess what had happened behind her, was suddenly terrified. She turned her head slightly and looked toward the direction of her mother and teacher with the corner of her eye.
Then she saw her own mother calmly taking out a white handkerchief to wipe her hands, while that originally pristine handkerchief was now covered in a large patch of red and white.
Good grief, this is truly a "strong hand splitting the skull."
The little witch first complained inwardly, and only then did she remember the severity of the matter.
Wait, this isn't the arena; there's no protection of false life here. That is to say...
Oh my god, did my mom just kill my teacher?
Realizing this, the little witch was suddenly blank-faced and at a loss.
So the question is, should I go up and help my mother clean up the mess and then flee together? Or should I shout and avenge my teacher, and then perform "righteousness over family"?
The bewildered little witch fell into confusion for a moment.
And the Dragon Witch, who had just finished killing someone, also noticed her daughter's peeking. She smiled somewhat embarrassedly.
"I told you to turn around and not look. Why are you such a disobedient child?"
Youfeiliya said this, her voice still gentle.
Although she was smiling as kindly as possible, the blood droplets splashed on her face were still dripping down. That blood-stained face, despite being very beautiful, looked terrifying no matter how one looked at it.
Dorothy: "..."
Oh my god, don't come over here.
The little witch had been scared silly by this unexpected plot twist that caught her off guard. She subconsciously hugged her Junior Sister beside her, trembling.
Seeing her daughter's terrified appearance, the dorky Dragon Mom finally realized something. She reached out to touch her face, and then looked at her blood-stained hands, momentarily speechless.
"Alright, stop lying on the ground playing dead. Isn't the floor cold? You've scared the child. Get up and clean the floor."
Youfeiliya said irritably, throwing the handkerchief that had been dirtied by the earlier intervention onto the headless corpse on the ground, and then gave the corpse an annoyed kick.
And then, Dorothy watched in even greater horror as the corpse of her teacher, who had died as miserably as a certain magical girl Senior, moved.
"It's not my fault, Senior, you were the one who struck first, and so ruthlessly at that."
The headless teacher, who should have been dead, stood up shakily from the ground. She reached out to touch the position of her head, but couldn't find it, so she simply pulled off her own neck as well and threw it onto the ground.
Yes, it was truly pulled off. Dorothy saw it clearly; it was as clean and decisive as when she had pulled off the head of a figurine, neck and all, in her past life.
Afterward, the teacher, now without even a neck, calmly reached out to touch her magic bag, took out a large box from inside, and opened it to reveal a box filled with neatly arranged heads of sleeping beauties, all looking identical but with different makeup.
"Wuwuwu, that was one of my favorite heads. The materials used were super expensive, you know. Senior, you really are too ruthless. I told you I could explain."
Teacher Spider reached into the box, took out a head, and stuck it onto her shoulders. Then, while adjusting her new neck and head, she complained like this.
"I think the reason you still can't get married after all these years is because of this lousy magic of yours. Unless it's a puppet enthusiast like you, who would take a fancy to someone like you who has modified even yourself into a puppet?"
The Dragon Witch said irritably, then snapped her fingers, using a cleaning spell to make the bloodstains on her body vanish. Only then did she soothe her daughter, who had been scared silly.
"Don't be afraid. Your teacher and I were just playing a game. It was purely a little spat between friends."
Dorothy: "..."
... The little witch's worldview is currently refreshing... ===== CHAPTER 128 =====
