Chapter 914: You Can Cross the Rules, But Don’t Tread on the Bottom Line
“Um… what is this combination?”
My emotions only fluctuated slightly before I asked.
Sister Bai had also mentioned that she had little contact with the Betraying Witch, but this was my first time seeing Sister Bai and the Betraying Witch together at the villa.
Last time, I maintained a respectful distance from this Betraying Witch, but now…
“What’s wrong? You find it unbelievable, right?” It was Sheryl, the Betraying Witch, who spoke, seemingly satisfied with my reaction to this scene.
“Indeed… when did you get involved with my sister?” “Involved? That term is a bit inappropriate, don’t you think? There’s a hint of jealousy in your tone; don’t worry, I won’t steal your girlfriend~”
“You still haven’t answered my question.” I repeated, then sat down on the sofa next to Sister Bai.
“Alright, alright~” Sheryl got up from the long sofa and sat down on a single sofa beside it, indicating that she didn’t mean it like that.
“Actually, I had contact with Bai Yu a long time ago, around the same time you met her.”
“So early?” I frowned; this answer was beyond my expectations.
“Yeah~ Surprising, right?” Sheryl was in a very good mood at the moment. “But Xiao Han, can you guess why we’re meeting like this?”
“I don’t know.” I replied very directly; even if I did know, I didn’t want to answer right now.
These days, I was very clear about what I had achieved in my contact with this Betraying Witch.
“You’re really not willing to take a guess~ Actually, I told your sister about what you’re going to do next—this really surprised me. I didn’t expect you not to mention this to your beloved Sister Bai, so when I brought it up, she looked completely shocked~”
“Um… what?” I suddenly reacted to this!
Then I instinctively looked at Sister Bai, just in time to meet her gaze, which contained a slight smile.
“Um… Sister Bai…”
“I naturally believe in Xiao Han, but such an important matter, you should’ve discussed it with me first.” Sister Bai’s voice was very gentle, as if she didn’t mind this matter. Her tone was also understandable.
“Uh… I know I was wrong! But the more I do this, the more I feel I owe my sister.”
“Don’t say that~ Xiao Han, I didn’t call you over just to hear you apologize.” Sister Bai reached out and hugged me.
Being somewhat petite, she effortlessly lifted me up.
“Ah…” Sheryl, meanwhile, changed her position and let out a slight gasp.
Because she realized this wave of dog food was aimed at her!
At this moment, I was held by Sister Bai, sitting in between her legs.
“How long has it been since you bathed, Xiao Han? Have you been keeping clean with cleansing wood?” Sister Bai suddenly spoke.
“Um… it’s no different… besides, this is just a clone, sigh…” I said quietly, feeling the sensation of my hair tie being pulled off from behind.
Usually, my hairstyle is quite casual; as long as it doesn’t fly around, it’s fine if it’s loose. Occasionally, I may tie up the middle or ends so that my hair doesn’t become too unruly.
After all, I prefer that loose and relaxed feeling; I don’t find that tight ponytail sensation comfortable.
“Clones should maintain good habits too~ There are many things in life that cannot be replaced… you need to experience these for yourself.” Sister Bai started tying my hair back, using one hand while gently running the other through my silver hair.
Feeling the same soft and smooth texture as before, she couldn’t help but marvel at how much she loved the feel of Xiao Jun’s hair.
“Mm~ mm~ got it, got it.”
Watching the interaction between the two figures before me, Sheryl realized that her fun was over.
This was the first time she experienced a situation where she initiated the drama, only to be unanimously countered by the other side without reason.
In a relationship, shouldn’t they be questioning each other a bit and have the weaker side back down, followed by both forgiving each other?
But now, with everything laid bare, how could the drama unfold like this? 😡…
She admitted that she caught a whiff of the sour smell between the couple… which was particularly unbearable for her, especially considering her status as a single “special force”.
“Are you done? Can you consider my feelings at all?” Sheryl spoke up.
“I think we’re being quite considerate, right? It’s you who made that playful suggestion toward my Xiao Jun.”
“Uh… playful suggestion? What? You’ve been agreeing the whole time!”
“I didn’t disagree because this isn’t a matter of putting Xiao Jun’s life in danger, just that it might have an impact.”
At this moment, Bai Yu’s tone had changed toward Sheryl, not because she had mastered a method to potentially harm her, but because her contract with Sheryl had ended.
Sheryl hadn’t even had time to do anything, and Bai Yu had already accomplished what she needed to do.
Even if she told the Principal now, the Betraying Witch’s target had always been Xiao Pu, which had no bearing, as Sheryl wouldn’t take any other “deliberate” actions anymore.
“Speaking of which, are you still focusing on this Main World? What impact could it have? It’s just that old Granny Mei is afraid of trouble~”
“Old Granny Mei…” Bai Yu subconsciously twitched her lips at the name, “Where did you learn that term?”
“Well, it’s what Principal Beif Alanna uses~ If she can use that term, surely I can too? Moreover, I find I have a good rapport with that principal. It’s a pity she didn’t become a Betraying Witch; she truly has a sharp eye for witches!”
“Alright…”
“Don’t mind it; if you want to break the influence of a witch in your hearts, you should start by changing how you address them, and then you’ll gradually discover a whole new world.” Sheryl said in a captivating tone.
But this Betraying Witch indeed had such capital.
Interrupting the conversation, Sheryl made a joke.
If one reached that world and spent the first night sleeping on the streets, it wouldn’t just be “tragic”!
“Speaking of which, can you tell me about the situation in that game world?” I asked.
“Of course~ I can’t.” Sheryl lightly laughed, decisively refusing my request, “Who asks for a game guide right after starting to play a game?”
“But there’s no beginner’s guide for this game?” I shrugged.
“Really? You don’t know anything about the game world at all?” Sheryl’s smile grew more intriguing, as if she knew I was aware of some things.
“……”
“You really do know, huh? Now I’m curious where your information is coming from; clearly, you’ve been in the Main World the whole time, right? Even rarely going out from the academy.” “Just a guess?”
“Just a guess, and I didn’t expect you to actually know? Looks like you have plenty of hidden thoughts~” Sheryl teased with a light chuckle.
“I’m not that well-informed.” I shrugged casually.
I was just relying on that rarely noticeable player clone, hiding among players to gather information…
I merely learned a bit of their world’s language.
Their modification system for cross-language was a bit troublesome to learn, but it wasn’t a big deal for me.
However, this little bit of information was definitely insufficient for my arrival in that world.
But this Betraying Witch was unwilling to reveal anything, which was truly a pity.
“By the way, how do I get over there?” I decided to stop lingering on those unproductive topics and proactively raised another question.
“Of course, with your Reverse Summoning Spell~ Didn’t I tell you before? Just don’t make a mistake and accidentally send your main body over~ Hahaha, in that case, your Sister Bai and Old Granny Mei will be after me with axes.”
“I’m not at the point of making such a rookie mistake.” I snorted in disdain.
“Looks like Xiao Jun, you’ve done quite a bit of research on the application and derivation of the Reverse Summoning Spell~”
“Basic operations.”
“I have a copy here, which I got from that magical girl, Jida, regarding the derived applications of Reverse Summoning Spell.” Sheryl didn’t find anything wrong with my humblebrag. That’s the treatment a genius deserves, so she presented a… shared rune at a leisurely pace.
That’s right, it was the shared rune created from my “Great Knowledge Sharing Technique”!
“Huh? How did you get this?” I was genuinely shocked this time!
“I said I’m a friend of Xiao Zhuo, and that she encountered some difficulties with the Reverse Summoning Spell and hoped to borrow some insights from here, so she packaged this for me.”
“That sounds a bit far-fetched… Why didn’t Teacher Ji Yan send it directly to me?”
“This shows I have good connections~ If I didn’t have the Betraying Witch label, I’d actually still be a fairly popular type of witch.”
As Sheryl spoke, she pushed the rune toward me.
And I wasn’t polite, directly analyzing the information inside.
However, I was a bit surprised while analyzing because this shared rune was actually encrypted!
But after recognizing my information, it opened automatically.
Looks like only I could access it.
I suddenly found myself interested in this encryption method; although achieving the encryption technology for a shared rune wasn’t difficult, even a simple encryption method could lead a witch to playful innovations!
But clearly, this wasn’t the right time to indulge in that.
I quickly skimmed through the information and directory; the content was so vast I stared at the directory for several seconds.
Now I was eager to know what that “Extraordinary Knowledge” from our teacher was all about.
If this could be made into a Great Spellbook… then how terrifying would that effect be!
“What do you think? I see your eyes are wide; are you very satisfied?”
*Cough, cough… I’m indeed very satisfied.* I lightly coughed to mask my earlier daze and then said, “Speaking of which… don’t you think it’s a bit late to give this to me now? Are you expecting me to learn and use it immediately?”
“I have confidence in your ability to learn, but I have even more confidence in your ability to create independently. You should have used this spell’s derived applications a long time ago, right?” Sheryl smiled, “I remember among the student group, the most famous threat was that… those who had Xiao Nie’s business card shouldn’t be fearful because the other side might attack from across the card at any time.”
“Such a pity~ When you made that strike back then, I wasn’t present. Otherwise, if I had witnessed it in person… it would surely have been a very shocking blow.”
“This already proves that your application of the Reverse Summoning Spell is not limited to yourself anymore, right?”
“Actually, you don’t have to understand me that well…” I retorted.
“Understanding you is just the most basic respect.” Sheryl didn’t find anything wrong with this; it had been a long time since she tried to understand a witch so deeply, let alone a Little Witch.
But she felt it was worth it.
“Eh~ Forget it, I have one last question. When I get over there, who will be cooperating to summon me? How should I face the person summoning me?”
“Well… that’s a secret!”
“Huh?”
“Some things need a bit of mystery. Only through personal experience can you know what a surprise is!” Sheryl decisively refused to answer my question.
“I hope it won’t be a fright… I retorted unhappily.
In general, such situations are likely to lead to a big pit.
“Of course it won’t be a fright, it’s a surprise! So you should quickly accept my preparations for your celebration~ In there, there’s no such thing as restrictions; you can do things you’ve never done before!”
“The only thing that can block you… is only your own bottom line, Xiao Jun… You must remember, whether a person or a witch, you can freely cross others’ rules, but… don’t tread on your own bottom line.”
