The scandals? The Demon King was still a witch, and no witch is without scandal. Those grand feats are out of reach, but maybe the rumors and scandals would be easier to copy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Zhaimonv ’s eyes lit up, and she immediately pulled out her spellbook, beginning to search the magic web for rumors or scandals about the Demon King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Demon King’s Love Affairs…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Untold Story Between Me and the Demon King…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fury for a Beauty: The Demon King Draws Her Sword to Avenge Her Consort…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuck, why is every news story in this world written like a bunch of gossip crows? This news industry is rotten to the core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dorothy just wanted to find some black history about the Demon King’s childhood—like when she beat up the neighbor’s brat—but the search results flooded her screen with nothing but romantic scandals, leaving her utterly numb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why is everything coming up like this? Are you sure she’s the Demon King and not the Sea King?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she knew thinking this might invite divine punishment, Dorothy still couldn’t help the thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever, heroes have always been romantic, beauties belong only to the strong—even mortal emperors had vast harems, so a few more lovers for the Witch King wasn’t exactly shocking. After all, who wouldn’t be moved by such a legendary hero?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Dorothy casually searched for information on the Divine King and the Dragon King, two even older Witch Kings—and ended up binge-eating more gossip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Untold Story Between the Divine King and the Dragon King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dragon King: The Most Sinful Woman in the Witch World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Cold Angel Teacher and the Playful Demon Student: As the Dragon King, How Should I Choose?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I, the Dragon King, Am Enjoying a Peaceful Retirement with My Angel Teacher—Until My Overworked Demon Student Keeps Hunting Me Down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, I had such a narrow perspective—so this is what the big shots do every day? Ancestors, you were the real king of chaos among the Three Kings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dorothy snapped her spellbook shut, feeling utterly defeated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’d confirmed it—this garbage magic web was unreliable; the entire rhythm had been warped by those gossip trolls. If she wanted real data, she’d have to find another way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well, since I’ve got nothing else to do today, I might as well go see my wings.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, Dorothy prepared to check the True Sight portal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the gathering place of scholars, she’d surely find senior witches specializing in witch history there—those archaeology seniors would have far more reliable data than her random web searches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She acted on the thought immediately, casting the Witch’s Akarin Spell on herself and preparing to step out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as soon as she cast it, she frowned—she sensed something strange about her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Weird, my mana recovery speed is way too fast—my little water pistol’s turning into a fire hose.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dorothy watched as the mana in her body, which had barely recovered a moment ago, was now visibly surging upward, leaving her stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she perceived it, if her mana pool were a swimming pool, her natural recovery rate had been a tiny water pistol trickling water in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, that’s just how pathetic a low-talent witch like her was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, with Dragon’s Breath active, and the dragon’s innate talent boosting her power with every breath, her little water pistol had upgraded to a large pipe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Add in high-grade ingredients for nourishment, and it was like a large pipe pouring water while someone else dumped buckets into the pool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, Dorothy felt as if someone had plugged a fire hose straight into her tiny pool—the unprecedented high-pressure, high-flow surge felt strangely exhilarating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Holy shit, who can handle this? Too fast, way too fast—if this keeps up, I’ll overflow in seconds!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling her mana rapidly filling, Dorothy groaned in delight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought she finally understood what the Demon King’s Zizhi  (SSR) really did—holy hell, she must’ve actually inherited a portion of the Demon King’s fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Ma had once said that if one’s fate was high enough, they’d gain a mana buff, accelerating mana growth. Dorothy had rushed to take the exams precisely to get that mana growth buff and finally fix her last weakness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But back then, she’d only hoped for a normal, standard mana flow like any ordinary high-level witch—now, it was clear the Demon King had carved out a direct pipeline from the Witch King’s exclusive mana channel and granted it to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Witch King’s fate bonus must’ve been like a tidal wave pouring in—even the tiniest trickle, a hair-thin fraction of that ocean, was more than enough to make a little witch like Dorothy explode with pleasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holy shit, this is what a big shot’s blessing feels like? I’m in love. Big shot, rest easy—I’m taking the title of second-generation Demon King. No one will stop me from following in the footsteps of the great Demon King. The Demon King’s path? Fine, I’ll walk it. Who’s afraid of whom?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>....The Zhaimonv  was ignited....\u003C\u002Fp>",1061,"2026-06-21T03:49:44.850Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","5f825a5d169e1eec6917aad04ef1685c31b9e771f1e0551f89885c7a2f80dada","armed-witch-chapter-99","armed-witch-chapter-97",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Farmed-witch-cover.jpg"]
