Chapter 363: Sister Bai’s Promotion to Extraordinary
“Mm.”
I nodded gently and took back my golden Cat Card.
This white-haired girl is, of course, myself.
I have returned.
But I have completely changed my demeanor.
Though my overall appearance hasn’t changed much, the details have changed significantly, like my skin, hair color, and eye color!
And… my figure. While adding weight to my chest isn’t necessarily good, it’s no problem if I’m willing.
After all, even Sister Bai praised this appearance.
The only regret is that my previous clothes might not fit as well. I now understand why girls have so many outfits—if I had a figure like this before, I would have dressed up beautifully every day.
Just like now.
After finding a spot by the window to sit down, I extended my index finger and casually framed a square in front of me. As my fingertip swirled with magic, tiny runes flickered, and a mirror with almost no thickness appeared before me.
Looking at myself in the mirror, I subconsciously adjusted a few strands of my silvery hair. After undergoing the Academy Head’s Metamorphosis Rebirth Spell, I experienced a rebirth in life. In that egg-like environment, I watched my body develop from embryo to baby. Even though this process was quite rapid, as the Academy Head said, it was a significant experience for a Self-Awakened Body cultivation like me.
It completed my unknowns about my own body. During this growth, I felt every organ’s development, every muscle’s growth, and the pathways of every bl**d vessel, experiencing how hormones regulated my emotions and body…
And during this process, I could also intervene in my appearance, figure, and even hair color.
However, right now, I can only adjust the shade of my hair color, which means I can manage the melanin levels. I haven’t figured out other colors yet, but theoretically, it should be possible.
I instinctively played with a small tuft of white hair. For my hair, controlling it without melanin would mean that my entire body should be white, including my eyebrows, body hair, and below.
But I could also choose to have no body hair there, which saves on maintenance.
Looking at myself in the mirror, my silver hair spread out like delicate silk, combined with my bl**d-red pupils, created quite a contrast. There’s no helping it; that’s just how my XP is.
I’ve truly realized my ideal.
The disguise spell that Teacher Ji gifted me before doesn’t quite work for me anymore.
After all, as long as I control my facial muscles well, I can change my appearance temporarily or even permanently.
Seeing the seniors walk past me, and the surprise on their faces when they noticed me, I couldn’t help but chuckle. It seems that being too beautiful indeed brings a fair amount of unexpected effects.
But what I should admire more is that among the seniors in the Witch Academy, upon seeing a beautiful girl, they instinctively show awe, blushing, or even possessiveness, rather than envy, jealousy, or insecurity.
As expected, the Witch Academy is a bit radical in terms of s*xual orientation.
But isn’t that exactly what I want?
It’s because of this excellent environment that relationships between girls in the Witch Academy can bloom into vibrant lilies beyond friendship.
I casually waved away the mirror before me. This was just a small spell I could use freely after mastering magic. The structure of small spells isn’t complicated; most don’t require rituals. Even if there are rituals, they don’t form a spell system, so I could easily conjure one by hand, even under the overwhelming effects of the Great Weakening Spell that envelops the entire world.
Do you understand what it means to exert great strength for miraculous results?
Before, when I cast Fireball Spell, I could only produce a few sparks because of the scarcity of elemental energy under the Great Weakening Spell. Now, my energy source is my self-generated magic and magic source, so the interference is minimal—only the spell’s final effect would be weakened.
As for magic, after personally testing it with my mental power, I found that the energy levels of magic might be more terrifying than I imagined.
It’s no wonder it’s a power that only witches can master.
My gaze scanned the seating area of the Witch Cat Café. Although it wasn’t overcrowded, significantly more people than before had come compared to my earlier visits.
It’s likely due to the arrival of Fool Dream. It seems that the witch behind the Witch Cat Café is quite efficient; I ran into her manufactured coincidence shortly after I returned. Setting up these Fool Dreams with Witch Teacher Deina required quite a bit of effort.
Thanks to that witch’s direct involvement, she does seem to be a passionate cat witch.
Upon seeing Fool Dream, she immediately fell in love, picking up quite a few cats to satisfy her urges.
However, the total number of Fool Dreams is just several hundred, and there are many Witch Cat Café stores in the Witch Academy. It can be said that Witch Deina has really gone to great lengths to bring cats to every cat-loving person.
“Sister Xiao Han~ Here’s the coffee you ordered~”
At this moment, a soft voice belonging to Fool Dream came from the spot beside me.
Turning to the side, I saw Fool Dream struggling to carry a plate over her head, just barely failing to reach the table.
“You’re amazing.”
I took the coffee and set it on the table, then reached out to pat Fool Dream’s cute little head. This time I really got to touch her; before, I couldn’t when I was in the dream. Now that I’m out of the dream, I finally have the time to enjoy it.
“Does Sister Xiao Han have anything else to do?”
“Mm, come play with me for a while.” I looked at Fool Dream, who gazed at me with curiosity and a bit of anticipation. I couldn’t help but pick her up and place her on my lap.
Her petite frame and soft body felt just like a small cat, and she was very light.
She didn’t resist much; after all, every Fool Dream recognizes me, regardless of my previous appearance while taking care of her in the Underground City or now using the Grand Wisdom Enlightenment Spell on them. They respect me greatly, and my efforts to bring them from the Underground City to the Witch Academy were not in vain.
Moreover, they willingly followed me, as they had been marginalized in the Underground City, struggling to get by day by day, living in harsh conditions. It was evident that they were overwhelmed by the treatment difference upon arriving here.
They had not anticipated being so popular.
I hope that Fool Dreams can always stay true to their hearts and not be tainted by bad thoughts. After all, I prefer the innocent and pure Fool Dreams.
I extended my finger to tease Fool Dream’s face. Compared to this, it seemed that Fool Dream preferred being patted on the head and having her hair stroked, while I also gently scratched her chin, and she seemed to enjoy it as well.
“Sister Xiao Han… um… don’t tease me…”
“Because you’re so cute~ I won’t hurt you.”
I gently pinched her small face. Though she looked like a petite catgirl, this interaction felt perfectly natural, just like truly petting a cat.
Although Fool Dream is quite popular in the Witch Cat Café, the café primarily caters to Cat Petting Guests and Guest Catgirls, and Fool Dream’s presence mainly enriches the variety of services.
Moreover, I heard that a custom-made small uniform for Fool Dream has been ordered. The clothes she is currently wearing were bought temporarily; after all, her previous clothes from the Underground City were already worn-out and unsuitable for receiving guests.
“Sister Xiao Han, I’ve arrived!”
“Eh? Sister Bai, did you get here so quickly?” At this moment, I froze and looked up to see Sister Bai standing right in front of me.
I came to the Witch Cat Café not just to see Fool Dream but also to meet Sister Bai here.
Sister Bai had told me she had something to discuss with me after I returned, so we agreed to meet here.
Even though I arrived quite a while ahead of time, Sister Bai got here so early.
“Mm, as soon as I walked in and saw you playing so happily with Fool Dream, I didn’t even notice you were here!”
“Um, sorry! Sister Bai, you’re not jealous of a Fool Dream, are you?”
I quickly put Fool Dream down and spoke up.
“How could that be?” At this moment, Bai Yu waved at Fool Dream, who immediately came to her and was picked up and placed on her lap.
“I also really like these little ones.” Bai Yu gently stroked Fool Dream’s ears.
“Alright… then should I order some desserts for you?”
“I already ordered some earlier.”
“Eh? Alright…” I pouted, watching Sister Bai and Fool Dream play together while sitting on Sister Bai’s lap. How envious… Why wasn’t I the one sitting up there?
Even resting my head there would be nice.
“Sister Xiao Han? What are you thinking so intently about?”
“Ah… oh! It’s nothing, nothing at all. Sister Bai, um, earlier you said you had something to find me about, what is it?” Prompted by Sister Bai, I quickly gathered my thoughts, and at that moment, I didn’t know what excuse to find, so I dove straight into the topic.
“Are we heading straight to the main topic?” Bai Yu thought of chatting about other things before transitioning to the main point; she didn’t expect that mentioning it would lead to this. It seems Sister Xiao Han really should learn some conversation skills.
“Uh… or should we chat about something else?” I instinctively bit my lip. If it were someone else delaying me from the main topic, I might have exploded, but with Sister Bai… I was willing.
“Let’s jump straight to the main point. Although I had intended to save this for the end, after all, this matter is…”
“What is it? Is something serious happening to Sister Bai?” I noticed Bai Yu’s hesitant expression and instinctively grew worried.
Could something bad have happened?
“It’s nothing. It’s not really a bad thing. I’ve just been promoted to extraordinary.”
“Huh? Wait, what?”
After hearing Bai Yu finish that sentence, I immediately exclaimed in shock, my eyes wide open.
“I’ve been promoted to extraordinary~”
At this moment, Bai Yu seemed to be intentionally relishing the shocked expression on my face, speaking with a playful tone as she pronounced each word.
“Extraordinary! Sister Bai! Really? Isn’t that great news?”
“For me, it is indeed a good thing, but Sister Xiao Han, do you understand what being promoted to extraordinary signifies?”
Even though Bai Yu said it was good for her, her tone still sounded a bit defeated.
“Uh… what does it signify?” I asked cautiously.
“It means I will be leaving this world.”
“Leaving… then Sister Bai will definitely come back, right? You’ll come back to see me, right?” I looked at Sister Bai and asked.
I admit that speaking on this point stirred unease in my heart, but I quickly suppressed it.
“Of course… but the world we are in is the Main World, a very special world. At least, that’s what the Academy Head told me. If I want to return here by my own efforts… it might take a long time…”
At this moment, Bai Yu’s voice grew a bit low again.
“Um… then…” My attention was fully on what Bai Yu just said about it taking a long time. I didn’t know how long “a long time” meant: a month? A year? Or several years?
A touch of confusion flickered in my eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination.
“If it doesn’t work, then I’ll promote to extraordinary as quickly as possible to find you!” Even though I knew it would be somewhat difficult for me to promote to extraordinary and even with all my effort it might take several years, continuous effort can make me forget the passage of time, after all, this seems to be the only thing I can do.
No… I broke the Earth Vein Shackles; perhaps I can…
“Pfft… heh~ heh~” At this moment, Bai Yu let out a light laugh again. With those two soft laughs, she seemed to be enjoying something very interesting.
“Sister Bai, you’re still laughing… is there a way?” Seeing Bai Yu laughing like this, I instinctively wanted to retort, but realizing she wasn’t someone who couldn’t read the situation—oh no, now she truly is an extraordinary witch—I quickly caught on.
“Of course~ But seeing the worried look on your face just now… it’s really a rare sight.”
“Alright, alright! Sister Bai, don’t tease me like that. What’s really going on? Can you come back directly by leveraging connections?”
“What leverage connections? I’m just an ordinary person…”
“Now you’re an ordinary extraordinary witch,” I corrected.
“Oh~ That’s true. I’m just a very ordinary and plain extraordinary witch; I don’t have such connections. It’s all because of the light of Sister Xiao Han.”
“Ah? The light of mine? What’s going on?” I asked curiously. How come I didn’t know I was so powerful that Sister Bai could skip so many obstacles?
“The Academy Head gave me a recommendation letter to be a part-time teacher at the Witch Academy. With this, I should be able to come back to the Witch Academy in another identity.”
“Part… part-time teacher?!”
“That’s right.”
“What will Sister Bai teach? I’ll definitely come to support you every time!”
“Um… I haven’t thought of that yet, but if it’s about teaching… I really haven’t taught anything before…”
“Then Sister Bai should teach body techniques! Haven’t you spent a lot of time on body techniques before? You can teach this~ I’m a Self-Awakened Body cultivator, but I haven’t practiced body techniques; that’s really a shame!” I immediately suggested.
“Body techniques? That does sound good…”
