The Witch's Imaginary Land: Redemption Comes After Sticking Together

Page 29

However, Li Hui always managed to leave gracefully before leaving behind a lasting impression, without taking a single cloud with her.

It's normal for witches to have their own adventures and secrets, but that doesn't mean Li Hui doesn't need help.

"Try reaching out your hand; someone will always be able to pull you out." Wu Yuhan didn't say much more, and left with Qiao Wen, who obediently stayed behind him, leaving behind a somewhat bewildered Li Hui.

"Have you learned to accept it?" Li Hui looked at Jiang Kehan, whose smile was gradually becoming somewhat forced, and placed her hand on her chest.

She could still feel their heartbeats mingling as they danced, their chests pressed together, leaving her unusually at a loss.

Do I really need help?

Li Hui finally stood up and walked over to Jiang Kehan.

At this moment, Jiang Kehan ​​was racking her brains trying to politely decline the invitation. The witches' unexpected enthusiasm was all out of goodwill, and she was afraid that her lack of understanding of witch etiquette would leave a bad impression on them.

After all, she was a hostess at this banquet, not a guest.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Kehan ​​has an appointment with me. If you're interested in investing, you can let me take a look."

Li Huiyuan was more familiar with this kind of scene than Jiang Kehan, and secretly signaled to Jiang Kehan ​​with his eyes to cooperate with him.

Jiang Kehan ​​saw Li Hui appear nearby and took her hand without hesitation, telling the other witches in a happy tone.

"That's how it is, so please forgive me."

Seeing this, the witches looked at the two with a hint of amusement, but did not linger and naturally bid them farewell.

However, several people still sent the drafted contracts to Jiang Kehan.

In their eyes, these two were still children, at a lively age, which was completely understandable.

Besides, haven't we already left an impression and expressed goodwill?

Jiang Kehan ​​opened the contract and shared it with Li Hui, completely disregarding the fact that it was actually very private information.

"Well, these are related to alchemy, weapons, and financial investment. If it were me, I wouldn't accept any of them."

Li Hui didn't make the decision for Jiang Kehan, but instead acted from her own perspective.

"These investments are just icing on the cake for a promising witch. Even if Kehan ​​is short of funds now, she doesn't need to incur favors for these investments, as it would be troublesome to repay them later."

"Moreover, the more potential you have, the less chance you have of repaying these debts. If you really want to invest, you can go to the Witch Council, which is an official support organization."

Jiang Kehan ​​nodded, deleted the contracts, and apologized to the witch who had sent them to her.

"Li Hui is so knowledgeable. Could you teach me sometime?"

After replying to the message, she looked at Li Hui with some anticipation.

Li Hui was about to make an excuse to decline, because in her eyes, the distance between her and Jiang Kehan ​​was already very dangerous.

But she suddenly remembered Wu Yuhan's instructions to her, and said something completely unexpected in an attitude that even she herself found questionable.

"Kehan, if I need help, will you support me?"

Although Jiang Kehan ​​didn't understand why the other person asked this, she answered without hesitation.

"Of course, we're friends, aren't we? And I think Li Hui will help me too, in fact, I've already received your help many times."

She gripped Li Hui's hand tightly, trying to dispel his doubts with a very confident tone.

"I remember when I knew nothing and tried to reach out to the world for help, you took my hand without hesitation and led me out of the darkness."

"Although it was just a small thing for you at that time, I will never forget it for the rest of my life, so please rely on me as much as I rely on you!"

Li Hui suddenly felt a little guilty, because she had only approached Jiang Kehan ​​for a bit of fun back then.

She was somewhat discouraged, gazing intently at the witch who always managed to surprise her.

You really aren't a witch at all, Kehan, how can I possibly refuse you...

"Okay, I hope you can understand me like this." Li Hui released Jiang Kehan's hand and spoke somewhat seriously.

"I may not be as perfect as you think, but I... will try my best to be a good friend."

"Yes!" Jiang Kehan ​​smiled sweetly, "Me too!"

Chapter 45 Dawn

The morning breeze carried a slight chill, rustling the curtains and brushing against Jiang Kehan's face, revealing that some careless person had forgotten to close the curtains last night.

The sky island was high in the sky, and the wind was still quite strong in the early morning. Jiang Kehan ​​rubbed her eyes and stayed in bed staring at the ceiling.

The ceiling is so beautiful. I want to sleep a little longer, just a little while longer.

She chuckled foolishly and began to gradually recall what had happened yesterday.

Phew, after the banquet yesterday at noon, I invited Li Hui to take a walk on Worry-Free Sky Island. Hmm, it seems he even treated me to an ice cream.

The ice cream was so delicious, Jiang Kehan ​​savored the memory, and her drowsy mind cleared up.

Then she suddenly remembered what we did, and she jumped up from the bed, leaned forward, knelt down, and buried her face in the blanket.

What did I do?! Don't make me remember it all!!!

Unfortunately, the more you try to forget, the clearer the memory becomes.

After finishing their ice cream, the two decided to go for afternoon tea. Then, Jiang Kehan, for some reason, insisted on trying the wine that Li Hui was drinking.

Yes, various kinds of wine are also a regular feature of witches' afternoon tea. For witches with very regular schedules, these wines with magical properties can make them feel relaxed and comfortable basking in the sun for an entire afternoon.

But what level is Li Hui at, and what level is Jiang Kehan ​​at? Li Hui can easily control the drunkenness that magic can eliminate, but Jiang Kehan ​​cannot.

Oh ho ho, Li Huisang, have you ever seen a dance from another world?

Jiang Kehan, seemingly out of nowhere, gave the dumbfounded Li Hui a wicked smile. Before Li Hui could knock her unconscious, she pulled her aside and began to show off her talents.

What was she dancing to?

It's otaku dance, after all, she wasn't some high society person in her previous life, at most she would learn from popular online videos.

What kind of otaku dance is that?

It is the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss...

Oh, she even sang it out loud, adding her own background music. If it weren't for the fact that it was a Japanese version, Jiang Kehan ​​felt she could have jumped off the island.

Even if you are smashed into a pulp, you can still recover.

"I don't want to live anymore!" Jiang Kehan ​​was about to cry, her delicate toes curled up, she just wanted to go back to yesterday and slap that self who thought he was so cool.

Mingming, for the first time, officially became friends with Li Hui; Mingming, for the first time, went shopping with him; Mingming…

I have so many memorable things to remember, so why do I just feel like dying right now...?

She got up like a zombie, opened the terminal with a strange smile, and opened the chat interface with Li Hui.

[Traveler]: "Li Huisang, you don't remember anything from yesterday, do you?"

[Li Hui]: "What? Didn't you fall asleep right away yesterday? I had to take you back to your dorm. Did something else happen afterward?"

Recalling the suffocating scene from yesterday, Li Hui broke out in a cold sweat and guiltily chose to gloss over it.

A witch can be truly deadly when she's extremely shy.

"Waaah!" Jiang Kehan's last hope was shattered, and she let out a mournful cry.

You're saying this because you remember it vividly!

She lay back down on the bed, tossing and turning, trying to clear her mind and forget the memory.

No way, I have to learn the Tranquility Technique today, or I won't survive!

Jiang Kehan ​​steeled her heart, took out the potion of tranquility, and after confirming that it was compatible, drank it all in one gulp.

Perhaps it was her determination that gave the magic power; this time, she learned the Tranquility spell in less than a minute, and it was surprisingly easy for her.

So the principle behind Tranquility is to use the communicative power of magic to banish the mind? How simple and straightforward.

Jiang Kehan ​​felt the analysis that came back to her instincts and was once again shocked by the witch's power.

If a normal race were to be hit by such a tranquility spell, they would be rendered an idiot in a short period of time, but for a witch, it is simply a common spell to clear her mind.

The witch's immortality is like cancer, no, even cancer pales in comparison to the witch. Jiang Kehan ​​fell silent for a moment. She suddenly understood the superiority of the witch's self-centered immortality. Coupled with the witch's terrifying evolutionary ability, she couldn't imagine what the witch would become in this situation where there was no way out.

However, the important thing is to temporarily seal this memory away.

Having grasped the principles of the Tranquility Technique, Jiang Kehan ​​suddenly had a brilliant idea. After thinking about it, she felt that her idea made a lot of sense.

You see, since it's about banishing thinking, it's reasonable to focus the scope on a certain range of thinking, and since the scope has been reduced, it's also reasonable to extend the effective time!

Under the pressure of social death, Jiang Kehan ​​unleashed her full potential, and without hesitation, cast a tranquility spell on herself.

In that instant, she saw her vast collection of memories, as well as her ever-fluctuating thoughts, like silver threads undulating across the starry sky, beautiful and awe-inspiring.

Jiang Kehan ​​carefully increased her magic output, searching for thoughts related to social death within her, which also led her to find yesterday's memories.

One hundred, one hundred and twenty—before consuming one hundred and fifty points of magic power, Jiang Kehan ​​had finally locked onto what she wanted to find.

The next step is to isolate and banish these thoughts.

She stopped breathing, focusing all her attention on manipulating the magic to perform this special "operation." Perhaps driven by her inner desires, the magic, which usually seemed somewhat unruly, was unexpectedly docile at this moment.

Jiang Kehan ​​was taken aback.

Wait, did I accidentally improve my control over magic?

Moreover, Jiang Kehan ​​also discovered something very abstract: the more the "surgery" went on, the more she was able to grasp a certain pattern.

She seems to have created another spell.

The effect of Memory Tracing is to find buried memories, whether they are influenced by enemies or completely forgotten by oneself. This spell can be used to gradually uncover them.

Jiang Kehan ​​defined some as useless. For witches, their memories are basically never forgotten, and the person who can influence a witch's memories probably hasn't been born yet.

Witches possess high mental resistance, especially against mental spells that distort their own minds; immunity is commonplace for them.

Jiang Kehan ​​put the spell in her mind for now. She looked at her memories from yesterday afternoon and fell silent for a moment.

Should it be exiled for a hundred years, or for ten thousand?

It's decided. We'll set a condition so that the banishment will be automatically lifted whenever I need to remember it. That makes perfect sense.

Jiang Kehan's gaze sharpened, and she began the complex spellcasting procedure. The more delicate the operation, the more it tested the witch's control. Moreover, she added some personal touches, which further increased the difficulty.

It can only be said that a witch driven to the brink of despair is invincible. By the time Jiang Kehan ​​came to her senses, she was looking at the scenery outside with great confusion.

Sigh, what was I being shy about just now? I felt like I had lost something.
