Chapter 889

Dorothy was actually quite happy eating her melon.

"Good fellow, Laoshi, you really are a spendthrift. That your mothers didn't beat you to death proves you really are their biological child."

Listening to the dark history about the Spider Laoshi revealed by Mother, the Home Witch couldn't help but think this in her heart.

However, who told her this is her own Laoshi?

She then sliced open a spatial rift and threw the melon rind she had finished eating into it. If this melon rind didn't have an evasion cheat enabled, the chaotic void would annihilate and clean it up.

Afterward, the Home Witch clapped her hands, using a cleaning spell to wipe the melon juice off her hands while turning off the Mirror Still Water, revealing her figure.

Hmm, can't keep watching. If I keep watching the show, they'll really start fighting. One side is Mother, the other is Laoshi; if they start fighting, I wouldn't know how to break it up.

"Don't worry, Laoshi, I will help you provide for your old age. Just leave those projects to me."

She said this very actively and obediently.

"Dorothy, you are spoiling her too much."

Seeing this, Long Ma blamed her with some helplessness.

Of course, Yu Fei Li Ya was still a little jealous; after all, her own daughter hadn't even said she would help her provide for her old age, yet she was already providing for someone else's.

Although both she and Luo Si were still far from the concept of "old"—at only about two hundred years old, if compared to their lifespans which were at least in the units of ten thousand years, they weren't even young girls; they might have to be considered little girls.

And based on Yu Fei Li Ya's understanding of her best friend, such indulgence from her daughter would really only spoil this person. She would truly climb up the pole and then settle down to wait for death, eventually becoming a social waste.

On the other side, hearing her precious apprentice's heartwarming and filial statement, Nuo E Luo Si was naturally beaming with joy.

This apprentice was indeed not taken in wrong. It's truly great to find an apprentice with good talent; she can retire and provide for her old age early at such a young age. It's truly beautiful.

Especially the apprentice's next words made her feel even happier.

"Mother, how can being good to Laoshi be called spoiling her? This is only natural."

Dorothy blinked at Mother and said this.

And no one knows a daughter better than her mother; as soon as she saw this look from her daughter, Yu Fei Li Ya's brows relaxed.

She knew that her daughter was up to some crooked idea again. Also, Dorothy, this girl, couldn't even take advantage of her, let alone this person Luo Si.

This Luo Si is about to be swindled out of all her pension.

"Laoshi, how about this: why don't you just move here and live? After all, look, my career here has just started, and I might not be able to go back to the Witch Academy to attend classes for a while. Anyway, there are only three people in our academy, so let's just change it to mobile teaching. Moreover, Laoshi, if you are always by my side, it will be easier for me to better provide for you in your old age."

Dorothy said very sincerely.

Hmm, this is also the truth.

After all, Sophie Liya, Miya-senpai, and Ma De Lin have all reached their graduation season, and even Alice, this silly sister, has reached the level where she can apply for early graduation. So, she really wasn't very willing to separate from her sisters and go back to school honestly with Audrey.

Fortunately, the Automated Civil Engineering major only has two or three kittens; the total members are just Spider Laoshi, herself, and Audrey. So this is much simpler—just change it to "commuting."

Hmm, the kind of commuting where the Laoshi follows the student.

"Uh, this isn't very good. After all, I am a Laoshi of the academy, and the Academy Head over there..."

Nuo E Luo Si was a bit hesitant when she heard this proposal.

Of course, she didn't really have any professional spirit of loving the job she was in; she simply respected the Academy Head.

Back when they were still in school, the Academy Head was Yu Fei Li Ya-senpai's Laoshi, and consequently, she was also familiar with her and Zi, the two little tails of the senpai, having a bit of "love me, love my dog" sentiment.

It's just that this isn't a good thing; after all, the Academy Head, this little old lady, has a truly bad temper. The closer she is to you, the more severely she scolds you, and yet you can't talk back; after all, the dignity of a Sage cannot be offended casually.

Moreover, the Spider Witch wasn't entirely afraid of being scolded by the Academy Head; she also truly respected the Academy Head. After all, although this little old lady didn't spare anyone with her words, she really took good care of her. She came to the Witch Academy to find a job before because the Academy Head nodded and let her join. If she ran away without a word now, it would be truly inhuman.

"Don't worry, I will go apply to the Academy Head. She still owes me a favor."

Dorothy guaranteed this.

Hmm, although it's true that she raided the ancestral court of the Angel Witch, she also truly helped the Angel Witch clan remove a parasitic tumor. The Academy Head really does owe her a favor; going to say hello for the Spider Laoshi isn't a difficult task.

If that doesn't work, then go to the Netherworld...

Forget it, I don't really dare to see my good sister for the time being, afraid of being delivered to her door and truly being locked in the basement.

But she still has Sophie Liya's identity as the Holy Son of the God King that she can use.

In short, the problem is not big. Laoshi, hurry up and get into the bowl.

"Uh, Dorothy, do you have such a big reputation now?"

Nuo E Luo Si was a bit surprised by this, but once she thought about the apprentice in front of her, who had one identity after another, and each one with a bigger background than the last, she was relieved.

This is the Forest Witch, isn't it? It's normal for the Academy Head to give her some face.

Thinking of this, she was truly tempted.

After all, Dorothy is a good child; what bad intentions could she have?

"And Laoshi, look at my new workshop, how is it?"

Seeing that Laoshi was already tempted, the Home Witch put in more effort to continue swindling, pointing at the workshop in front of her and saying this.

"Of course it's very good. Although there are still some small problems in some places, that's only because you haven't learned the elite, professional, and master-level courses; you haven't learned those advanced technologies. But you actually achieved an effect not inferior to those advanced technologies just by stacking and combining these basic techniques. Although it's slightly bloated, the flaws don't obscure the virtues; this is already very great. Even if I were to do it myself, it would probably be hard to be much better than you."

Nuo E Luo Si didn't spare any praise.

The workshop in front of her could completely be treated as an apprentice's graduation project. Her level now could actually already be considered as having finished her apprenticeship; even in the entire architectural world, this already reached the level of an entry-level master.

Moreover, the most critical thing is that Dorothy is truly generous. When she was touring just now, she had looked carefully; all the materials for this workshop were solid, high-end goods. The materials were not cheap; the total construction cost made her little heart jump wildly.

Too extravagant. Anyway, the little savings she had accumulated from fighting outside were completely unable to withstand such burning.

Hmm, hmm, it's good to be rich. It's truly good to have a mother like Yu Fei Li Ya-senpai who has a big family and is willing to spend money on her child.

The Spider Witch thought this with some envy in her heart.

Dim lights, eye protection, small, medium, large

Actually, her family is also quite rich; after all, it's a direct line of the Demon King family. Her ancestor, the Arachne ancestor, was the Demon King's second daughter and also a Sage.

It's just that their family environment is truly not great. The desire for control is relatively strong, always thinking of arranging the life path for their children, as if the children were just marionettes in their hands.

Hehe, clearly the title of the Demon of Control belongs to the Demon King's eldest daughter, Aphrodite, okay?

But forget it, this is a taboo that cannot be mentioned in the Arachne family. After all, the original sin mastered by their ancestor is envy. She indeed always envied her eldest sister, liking to compare herself to Her everywhere, yet always falling short everywhere, so her personality was notoriously cruel.

Aphrodite and Arachne are both famous socialites among the Demon Witches.

But the former is a true princess loved by everyone; everyone wants to dedicate themselves to Her from the bottom of their hearts. Her reputation is very good, living in the light.

As for the latter, no need to say more; the nickname "Black Widow" says it all. She hides in the shadows.

And in such a family based on envy, you naturally shouldn't expect any harmony of motherly kindness and daughterly filial piety, or sisterly respect and sisterly love.

In that home, the atmosphere of comparison is everywhere; everything needs to be compared with others to see who is higher or lower, and all resources are distributed according to grades and rankings. It is explicitly encouraging this atmosphere of comparison.

Even the excellence of the children has a leaderboard.

Therefore, all the little Arachnes are tools for parents to compare and show off to each other, naturally becoming marionettes in their hands, needing to act according to the parents' will.

Anyway, the sentence Nuo E Luo Si heard most since she was a child was "Look at other people's children, how they are," and so on.

Of course, she actually knows that her mothers love her; it's just that they have gone too deep into the original sin of envy and have already been eroded to a certain extent by the power of original sin.

Furthermore, the envy family has grown up like this for generations—everything must be compared with each other, must compete, must be strong, must keep oneself envious. The mothers also grew up in such an environment; they probably don't know how to get along with their daughters correctly either.

It's just that understanding is understanding, but this doesn't prevent Nuo E Luo Si from not liking such a family environment.

Therefore, she has been accompanied by dolls since she was a child. Compared to the hypocritical comparison with those plastic sisters, she enjoys the time spent with quiet dolls more.

She is actually a person who is easily satisfied. For her, having days where she can quietly wait for death is actually enough, so she is naturally not suitable for the path of the original sin of envy.

However, sometimes when she looks in the mirror, she despairingly discovers that she ultimately flows with the blood of Arachne's envy.

For example, she values talent above all else, always treating children with good grades with special favor, while being disdainful of children with poor grades.

She realized this point, but instinctively did not want to change.

The family's brand has already penetrated her bone marrow; even after escaping the family for many years, she cannot escape the control of the original sin in that bloodline.

Even with the increase in age, she began to crave the family more and more.

Sometimes she really wants to find someone to start a family, but if she also has children, will she treat her own children the same way her mothers treated her?

Once she thinks of this possibility, she is afraid of the family again.

So, for so many years, she has been shouting everywhere every day, "I want to find a girlfriend," but in actual action, her true body has been hiding in the nest, not going out at all, waiting for a home-invasion encounter.

After all, no one would really think that with her figure, her appearance, and her talent, she would really be left over, unable to marry someone or unable to be married off.

Forget it, stop bragging. No matter how excellent she says she is, it can't change the fact that she is indeed a single dog, even if she dresses up like a married woman every day; that is also fake.

Moreover, the more she suppresses her craving for a family, the more envy this craving breeds, which is truly annoying.

Every time she sees others having a happy family gathering, and then thinks of herself being alone, the seeds of envy will uncontrollably take root and sprout in her heart.

She is truly afraid of such a self, so she resists the family more and more, worrying that she will harm her family, but the more she resists, the more envious she becomes.

This is the curse of original sin, and also an unsolvable cycle.

And the price of bearing such a curse is that her strength these years has been growing like crazy, as if she were cheating.

Original sin is truly a cheap bone. Those sisters in the family tried their best to compare, using all kinds of tricks to try to get the favor of the original sin of envy, but the original sin ignored them.

She herself hated this damn envy, but this guy is like a slut, always pestering her.

But the consequence of the power of envy being stronger is that sometimes she is truly finding it harder and harder to control herself.

For example, after hearing that Yu Fei Li Ya-senpai actually had a daughter, the first emotion that emerged in her wasn't feeling happy for Senpai, but ugly envy.

She thought, with Senpai being this violent maniac and tomboy, how could anyone like her, how could she start a family, and how could she have a daughter?

And later, after finding out that the apprentice she had taken a fancy to, Dorothy, was actually Senpai's daughter, she couldn't help but be envious again, envious that Senpai's daughter was so excellent.

The reason she took Dorothy as an apprentice later was actually hard to say whether she really wanted to take an apprentice, or simply out of envy for Senpai, so she wanted to snatch Senpai's daughter away.

This is truly ugly and disgusting.

So, does such a self really have the qualifications to come to the side of a good child like Dorothy, and really have the qualifications to join Senpai's family?

Looking at the apprentice's face, which was as sincere as the sun, Nuo E Luo Si hesitated.

Can a person like her, who has always been hiding in the shadows of the ground, really walk into the sunlight?

Better not. If she can't control herself again and causes some other trouble, disrupting the peace of Senpai's family, that would make her a sinner for all ages.

"How about I just don't move? It's actually quite good in the academy."

She chickened out and said this evasively.

But how could Dorothy give her a chance to retreat?

"Come over, Laoshi."
