Chapter 1531: Cat Blessing and New Colleagues

【Relying on your strong physique and ruthless means, you defeated the current Great Witch King of the Witch Kingdom, forcibly forcing her to express submission to you, and successfully conquered the possessor of the Witch Blood.】

【Due to the Yarn Ball Society you are in having successfully annexed the other seventeen large societies of the Witch Kingdom, you have completed the conquest of all the bloodlines of the Witch King "Renran." Your silver-level badge "Half-Witch Blood" has successfully advanced to the gold-level hidden badge "Royal Blood Great Witch."】

【Royal Blood Great Witch: Due to the curse from the Great Court, the last Witch King "Renran" never managed to give birth to her own bloodline, so she placed the hope of inheriting "Witch" on humans who possess the bloodline of the Great Court.】

【Whenever a human with a partial bloodline of the Ten Descendants of the Great Court cultivates any secret art to a certain degree, they will automatically inherit the bloodline of the Witch King Renran. After learning all eighteen Great Court secret arts, they will become the true inheritor of the Witch King Renran and awaken the Witch King Blood independent of time.】

【Wearing effect: Obtain the special talent unique to the last Witch King Renran. When using time-type anomalous objects, secret arts, authority, and truth, you will no longer consume your own time and lifespan.】

【Advancement route: Completely inherit the Heart of the Great Court, and after cultivating all eighteen Great Court secret arts—"Dance to Summon Gods, Zhu Nuo Prayer, Identify Herbs, Observe Stars and Predict Fate, Spirit Number Deduction..."—to the "Witch King" level, this badge will automatically advance to the hidden exotic badge "Great Court Witch Priest."】

【Hidden characteristic (no need to wear): Influenced by the residual obsession of the Witch King Renran, the probability of giving birth to offspring after you engage in corresponding activities with your spouse will increase significantly.】

No need to consume lifespan when using time-type anomalous objects?

After reading the effect of 【Royal Blood Great Witch】, Li Ang's eyebrows couldn't help but wrinkle slightly.

This effect couldn't be said to be weak. After all, although most time-type anomalous objects are powerful, their consumption of life is not ordinary. They often take away three or five years of life. If this part of the lifespan consumption can be completely exempted, it is undoubtedly an extremely huge increase.

But... what should I do if I don't have time-type anomalous objects in my hand?

After sighing helplessly, Li Ang let go of the cat's neck, released the Cat Queen who was struggling desperately, and said apologetically:

"No need to continue kowtowing, I'm done here."

"Meow meow meow meow meow! (I'm not done with you!)"

After shouting at Li Ang angrily, the Cat Queen, who had been held down by the head and forced to kowtow several times, reached out her claws to straighten the crown on her head, and then ran away with tears in her eyes.

Bastard! Pervert! Rotten person! You actually like to hold other people's heads and make them kowtow to you! Damn it! Compared to this kind of weird perverted hobby, you'd be better off being a sex maniac!

Sorry...

Watching the back of the Cat Queen, who had transformed into a cat and fled in a panic, Li Ang couldn't help but apologize to her in his heart.

It's mainly because the Dead World is restless, and I don't know what's going on with Senior Auntie Auntie Ai Ma. I want to raise my combat power again. If I had known 【Royal Blood Great Witch】 had this effect, I wouldn't have been in such a hurry to brush it...

Mm... thinking about it carefully, this badge might not necessarily be useless. I'm already a Director of the Cleaning Bureau. I can completely go to the Bureau's "warehouse" to flip through it and see if there are any anomalous objects that consume life severely but have powerful abilities, and ask for them to test the effect.

I feel like it should work!

The brushable badge was already in hand. Thinking of Senior Auntie Auntie Ai Ma and the situation in the Dead World, Li Ang, who was eager to improve his strength, didn't stay any longer and shouted in the direction where the Cat Queen fled.

"Your Majesty Caitlin, I have things to do, so I'll leave first."

"Meow! Meow meow meow! (You go! Get out of here!)"

Amidst the Cat Queen's sorrowful meows, Li Ang got up and left the Cat Queen's room. After he pushed the door and left, the Cat Queen drilled out from the inner room again, grabbed the curtain, jumped onto the windowsill, and looked at his back. After watching for a while, she couldn't help but meow angrily.

I really owe you!

After glaring at Li Ang's back angrily, the Cat Queen closed her eyes slightly and patted her chest with her cat claws. At the same time, Li Ang, who had reached the corner, suddenly paused, and then looked at the shadowy world in front of him with surprise.

【The current Great Witch King of the Witch Kingdom used the "Heart of the Great Court" to add a unique special blessing to you. You obtained the permanent special state "Heartbeat of Time" and awakened the corresponding no-level special badge.】

【Heartbeat of Time: A special blessing from the Heart of the Great Court. When your own attention is highly concentrated, your heart will have a strange heartbeat slightly faster than the current time, and you will obtain corresponding special abilities before the heartbeat ends.】

【Wearing effect: When the Heartbeat of Time appears, you will obtain the ability to briefly peek into the future around you. The specific peeking duration depends on your proficiency in Witch Secret Arts, and it can still take effect when there are targets with an infection value higher than 70 points around you. The current peeking duration is 2-3 seconds.】

【Advancement route: None】

【Hidden characteristic: When the current Great Witch King of the Witch Kingdom remains alive, this badge can take effect without being worn.】

This is... Caitlin's blessing?

Pressing his heart and feeling the two different "rhythms" beating in his heart, Li Ang couldn't help but look back, but he didn't see the Cat Queen's shadow, only the white gauze curtain swaying slightly by the windowsill.

Ha, she actually became shy.

Looking at the Cat Queen, who had hidden her whole body under the windowsill and was trying hard to avoid his gaze, but

Thanks, the gift has been received; it's even suitable for sensitive skin. I'll give you a good review... Hmm... what is this thing?

Just as Li Ang turned around to leave, the world, which he was viewing through the "afterimage" state, suddenly brightened. A beam of incandescent white light shot down from the sky, striking the exact spot he would have reached in two seconds.

Although there was no aura of danger in that light, out of caution, Li Ang stopped in his tracks in time, avoiding the white pillar of light projected from the sky.

The coverage of the white pillar was not large, only about two meters in diameter. Because Li Ang stopped in time, the light did not land on him, but instead struck the ground in front of him, rolling up two stone floor tiles over an inch thick before vanishing.

It felt like some kind of "teleportation" or "summoning" ability.

After watching the two floor tiles disappear before his eyes, a look of vigilance couldn't help but appear in Li Ang's eyes. The white pillar, having missed its target, didn't seem to give up; after waiting a few seconds, it appeared again in the "future vision" displayed by the 【Pulse of Time】.

Is someone trying to take me away?

Sensing the intent behind the strange white light, Li Ang immediately took two steps back, stepping into a small puddle that hadn't evaporated yet, and quickly shifted his position through the Mirror World, moving to another mirror surface dozens of meters away.

The white light, having missed again, seemed "provoked." The frequency and speed of its descent surged abruptly. It chased him all the way from the inner court of the Great Witch Court, pursuing him for several streets; wherever he went, it followed and shone.

Fortunately, the protection of the Cat Queen was truly effective. Although the "lead time" provided was less than 3 seconds in total, it was constantly in effect every single moment. Coupled with Li Ang's reaction speed, which was nearing the human limit, the white light—lacking a "lock-on" feature—couldn't catch up no matter how hard it tried.

The relentless white light projected seventy or eighty times within a minute, but apart from sweeping away a pile of miscellaneous debris, it couldn't even touch the hem of Li Ang's clothes.

After chasing for a while and finding it truly couldn't catch him, the strange white light finally gave up. It turned to project a thicker, larger white pillar, threw back everything it had just swept away, and then went silent. A moment later, Young Ha in the Mirror World barked twice, then poked his head out from Li Ang's cuff, holding a small, constantly trembling mirror in his mouth.

"Li Ang, it's me looking for you."

After Li Ang connected the "call," the face of the Taurus Director, caught between laughter and tears, appeared in the Celestial Sphere Mirror.

"After learning that something happened in the Dead Realm, the Capricorn Director rushed back from Heaven Mountain. Those white lights that were trying to cover you weren't attacks; they are the 【Heavenly Path】 used by the Capricorn Director to travel. If you stand inside, you can be pulled directly to headquarters. Stop hiding."

"Oh, oh, okay."

Li Ang had also felt that the white pillar didn't look like an enemy's method, but rather like the Cleanup Bureau trying to pull him over. However, out of caution, he hadn't accepted it directly, wanting to see the situation first.

Now that he had the assurance of the Taurus Director, Li Ang let down his guard and stood where he was, no longer dodging, allowing the white pillar, over two meters in diameter, to cover him and envelop his entire body.

Light and shadow flowed.

After a somewhat unbearable sensation of spinning, the blinding white light suddenly vanished. When Li Ang's vision returned to normal, the world before him had changed from the alley in the Witch Kingdom to a spacious palace filled with ram-head and fish-tail patterns.

"Hello."

【In the middle of looking/p>

Nodding toward Li Ang, the tall, thin man in gorgeous robes looked Li Ang over with a gleam in his eyes, and took the initiative to speak in a friendly manner:

"Nice to meet you. I am the current Director of the Capricorn Palace. You can call me Harry."

"I am..."

"You are Li Ang, Li Ang Bobby Laien, the person who succeeded Camus as the new Director of the Aquarius Palace, and also the youngest Director in the Bureau in seven hundred years. Joan and the others have already introduced you to me."

"Then you..."

"I'm a chatterbox. I have a lot of nonsense to say, and I have the bad habit of liking to interrupt others. If you don't like it, I can apologize to you in advance. I hope you don't mind."

"I don't..."

"It's good that you don't mind. Of course, even if you did mind, I probably wouldn't be able to help myself. But please believe that I have no ill intentions, nor do I have any prejudice against you; I just simply can't help wanting to talk to someone."

"I under..."

"Do you understand? Then you're actually a pretty good person.

Hahaha, sorry, I've been in Heaven Mountain for almost thirty years. Over there, it's all polluted angels and divine creatures. Apart from cursing, all they have in their mouths are crazy ravings; they really aren't good conversational partners.

But I really couldn't find anyone to talk to, so I could only talk to them, which formed this bad habit, and I'm having a bit of trouble breaking it... Oh, right, this is the Capricorn Palace. Welcome as a guest. Joan and the others are already waiting in the inner hall..."

The kind-looking, tall, thin man's lips flipped up and down. While enthusiastically grabbing Li Ang's arm and leading him toward the inner hall behind the Capricorn Palace, he fired off words like a machine gun, making Li Ang's ears buzz.

And what was even more terrifying was that the Capricorn Director's words seemed to carry a strange magic. It was like sacred, melodious Sanskrit chanting, yet also like low, evil, and garbled ravings. Even though Li Ang tried to plug his ears, those long-winded, nonsensical words still kept drilling into his head.

Fortunately, after entering the inner hall and seeing the other Directors sitting around a round table, the Capricorn Director, whose lips were terrifyingly nimble, shifted his target, sat down beside the Sagittarius Director, and began speaking happily.

Under Li Ang's rather strained gaze, in less than twenty seconds, the Capricorn Director, who seemed very much looking forward to catching up with old friends, had already switched topics five or six times.

From how he and the Sagittarius Director knew each other in the past, to the competition during the selection process, to how lonely Heaven Mountain was, how troublesome it was to purify those polluted angels and divine creatures, and how lonely he had been all these years, and so on.

Although the Sagittarius Director kept his eyes closed as if he hadn't heard anything, and didn't respond no matter how the Capricorn Director nagged, the Capricorn Director didn't seem to need any reaction from him, and continued to talk enthusiastically in his ear.

"Li Ang, come, come, this is for you."

After waving his hand to signal Li Ang to come over and sit beside him, the Taurus Director, whose expression was also somewhat strained, first reached out and pointed to his own ear canal, then stuffed two black beans into Li Ang's hands.

【Name: Silence Bean (Silence, Mute, Blind)】

【Appearance: Two pitch-black beans, feeling similar to dried sheep droppings, carrying a strange fragrance like expired holy water】

【Ability: Silence (Capricorn), Mute (Capricorn), Blind (Capricorn)】

【Cost: Before the Silence Bean is taken out of the ear, you can only communicate with others who are wearing Silence Beans】

【File: After guarding Heaven Mountain alone for over thirty years, the contemporary Capricorn Director, through constant communication with purification targets, was subjected to massive deliberate contamination from Outer Gods, and his entire language system underwent an extremely terrifying and malignant mutation.

The words that come out of his mouth can bypass the barriers set by hearing and reach deep into the soul. Not only by conversing with him, but even just seeing his lips, one will be forcibly instilled with a massive amount of information.

After discovering this, the tormented Taurus Director worked through the night to forge a whole jar of Silence Beans, and distributed them to other tormented Directors, hoping to help them resist the brain-piercing magic sound from the Capricorn Director...】

【Evaluation: Humans are born of human mothers, and demons are born of demon mothers. So, being a demon is just like being a human; you must have a kind heart. Once you have a kind heart, you are no longer a demon, but a human-demon... What is your mother's surname?】

【Contamination Value: 0.1】
