Chapter 1500: Wuna and Changes

Star chart observation, communication with nature, thinking acceleration, observing the world... although it is estimated that there is no direct combat power, they all sound like good things!

After listening to the Cat Witch's explanation, Leon's eyebrows couldn't help but rise, and his interest in these eighteen Great Court secret arts increased greatly.

"Are these secret arts of your Witch Kingdom allowed to be passed on? Can I learn them?"

You want to learn Great Court secret arts?

The Cat Witch blinked and nodded hesitantly:

"There is nothing that cannot be passed on, but these secret arts seem to have restrictions. Except for people in our Witch Kingdom, it is difficult for people from other countries to learn them."

Hmm... it seems it's not that people from other countries are difficult to learn, but that people without the bloodline of the ten descendants of the Great Court cannot learn them. These Great Court secret arts and the human side feel like two different systems, but I should have no problem?

After looking at the wearing effect of 【Half-Witch Blood】, Leon switched this badge out, obtained half of the talent of the last Witch King Renran, and proposed:

"Why don't you teach me and try? What if I happen to be one of those who can learn?"

"This... okay."

Although she felt that Leon, a human with a red and root-positive background, didn't look like someone who could learn Great Court secret arts, seeing his insistence, the Cat Witch, who owed a lot of favors, didn't refuse. After pondering, she asked:

"Astrology secret arts and numerology deduction require a lot of star charts and numerology formulas, totem cultivation and communication with nature also require a long, long time to cultivate media. The only thing I can teach you immediately is the Wuna secret art. Do you want to learn?"

Wuna secret art... learn to dance?

Recalling the unique dance posture of the Cat Witch full of wild beauty under the reflection of the bonfire when "conquering" the Wuna Society, Leon nodded after a little hesitation.

"I want to learn. After you rest, can you teach me?"

"Now is fine, I have rested enough."

The Cat Witch smiled, stood up from the sofa, folded the tail of her black robe upward, tucked it into the belt behind her waist, and revealed two small legs like tender lotus roots.

Immediately after, she rolled up her sleeves to reveal her arms, took out a few small clips from her pocket, folded the upturned cuffs into a flower style, and stuck them above her elbows, completely changing the original long robe into a style convenient for activities.

"Watch carefully."

The past two days have been very smooth, and most of the shadow of death hanging over her head has dissipated. The Cat Witch, who was in a quite good mood, directly lifted the skirt changed from the long robe, turned around lightly, and then smiled:

"Next, I will dance a few simple introductory dance steps first

"What does 'feeling' refer to?"

"It's the purest sensation."

Seeming to know that Leon would ask such a question, the Cat Witch moved her slender waist slightly, then smiled and said:

"Don't try to memorize my dance steps. Dance is not such a rigid thing; the feeling in your heart is the only standard. Without the participation of the 【Heart】, no matter how standard your steps and postures are, you can only perform ordinary dances and will never learn the true secret art of the Dance."

Good heavens, is it that abstract?

After hearing the Cat Witch's "idealistic" teaching, Leon, who had originally wanted to memorize the steps and movements with his heart, had no choice but to move his gaze away from her arms and calves and instead observe her overall movements.

And after noticing the change in his gaze, the Cat Witch couldn't help but nod with satisfaction. Then, she bent her upper body slightly backward, and with a few simple stretching movements of her elegant figure, her whole person instantly "sprouted."

That's right, sprouted!

Relying on the talent bonus provided by 【Half-Witch Blood】, the moment the Cat Witch leaned back, her two fair, delicate forearms silently joined together and then opened lightly toward the upper diagonal. Leon only felt his vision blur slightly, and the black-robed lady, who had been graceful just a moment ago, disappeared completely. Replacing her was a tender sprout emerging from the soil after the rain, with several raindrops still clinging to its leaves. Whether it was the dark, moist soil, the snow-white bud breaking through the ground, or those few crystal-clear raindrops, all carried a vibrant vitality that made one's heart flutter.

"How was it?"

As her curvaceous figure bounced slightly, having completely shaken off the shackles of the "soil" and shed the "raindrops" from her body, the Cat Witch asked with a smile:

"Did you see it clearly? How did it feel?"

Did I see it clearly... I didn't know just now, but now I can say I've seen it clearly.

Hearing the Cat Witch's question, Leon finally recovered from that vibrant vitality, and his gaze finally returned to the Cat Witch.

Then he discovered with great surprise that those few raindrops on the sprout were actually just beads of sweat on the Cat Witch's cheeks, the dark and moist soil was her black gauze robe dampened by sweat, and the two snow-white buds breaking through the ground were her slender arms, which were blindingly white.

"That's amazing."

After sighing with genuine admiration, Leon couldn't help but praise:

"The moment you started the movement, you disappeared directly from my eyes, as if your whole person had turned into a tender sprout emerging from the soil after the rain stopped.

Also, later when you finished the backward bend and straightened your body again, it was just like the leaves being bent by the raindrops sliding off the tip of the sprout and then snapping back. The movement was incredibly vivid."

【One by one...】

"..."

Ah, this... although the 【Sprouting】 I danced is indeed the most basic dance step, you're just too fast! I had to watch my mother dance it many times before I grasped 【Sprouting】. How can you understand it faster than me, the daughter of the Great Witch King?!

"Watch another one!"

Looking at Leon, who had grasped the entire 【Sprouting】 after watching only two or three movements, the Cat Witch couldn't help but fall silent for a while. Then, she bit her lower lip slightly, and somewhat unwilling to admit defeat, she stepped out another circle of dance steps, then asked while panting slightly:

"How about this time? What did you see this time?"

"The setting sun, the evening glow, and the bonfire being lit in the wilderness."

Looking at the faint flush on the Cat Witch's face after the strenuous exercise, her arms which were also dyed a light pink after warming up her body, and the healthy rosy glow on her calves, Leon couldn't help but click his tongue in wonder:

"So, the changes in the dancer's body are also part of the entire secret art of the Dance? That's amazing! Hmm... it's just that it seems a little bit disjointed; it doesn't feel as harmonious as the previous movement."

"..."

No... you even noticed that?

Not expecting that she had deliberately chosen a dance step with high difficulty and secretly reduced two movements, only to be seen through at a glance, the Cat Witch, unwilling to admit defeat, couldn't help but take a deep breath, preparing to dance an even more difficult step.

However, just as her feet spun and her arms stretched out, and her skirt swirled open like flames, the shackles of 【Bedtime Stories】, which had already been significantly weakened, were suddenly pulled to the maximum in an instant, not only suppressing the Cat Witch's movements but also instantly draining her already meager stamina!

"Careful!"

Although he also felt the surge in suppression, Leon, who possessed 【Materialism】, was much less affected. He hurriedly stepped forward to wrap his arms around the Cat Witch's waist, bringing her into his embrace with the momentum of her spin, preventing her from falling to the ground after losing her strength.

And just as the Cat Witch, drenched in sweat, leaned weakly against Leon's arm, panting softly like a cat with a flushed face, Miss Smash, who had been detained by the Shaman Society for several days, was delivered to the door just in time by the Captain of the Guard of the Great Witch Court, along with the confused freckled prince...
