Suddenly, the black cat from before darted out of Estella’s shadow and jumped onto her shoulder.
Estella reached out and stroked its head.
The black cat looked at Su Wanyue and spoke: “Greetings, Lady Tian Shu.”
“Is it an Erosion Beast? It has intelligence?”
Seeing a cat that could speak, Su Wanyue was surprised.
Estella smiled: “Little Moon, just like I said, since they are creatures from another world, naturally there are intelligent races among them.”
“Did you forget? That’s right, after you barged into the Void Realm, you really kicked it away like it was a stray cat on the roadside.”
No wonder Su Wanyue thought the cat looked familiar—it was that grunt she had casually sent flying?
‘Should I apologize to it?’
“Didn’t I say? The weak are prey to the strong. You didn’t kill it back then; if anything, it should be grateful.”
As she spoke, the black cat jumped onto Su Wanyue’s shoulder.
It gently licked Su Wanyue’s cheek with its warm, moist tongue, as if expressing thanks in its own way.
Ah, just like a cat! No, Su Wanyue thought of the key point.
“If they come from another world, then what is their purpose? Taking refuge? What kind of thing could make so many creatures from different worlds flee their original world together?”
“Mm, as expected of Little Moon, you’re quick on the uptake~”
Estella reached out and ruffled Su Wanyue’s hair again.
“Stop that, I just fixed my hair!”
Her protest fell on deaf ears, and Su Wanyue’s black hair was once again tousled into a mess.
“But you’re still better off not knowing the reason right now.”
“Why can’t I know? Even though I’m not a Great Witch now, I’m still Blazing Sun Level?”
After becoming a witch, Su Wanyue was a standout even among those of the same level.
‘Yes, we’re both Blazing Sun Level—I didn’t originally plan to fight at a lower level!’
“Blazing Sun Level still isn’t enough to withstand mental contamination. Little Moon, you don’t want to turn into a little fool for real, do you?”
‘Mental contamination? That really does sound like the kind of thing a final boss would have.’
“Fine.” Su Wanyue had no choice but to concede.
“However.” Su Wanyue changed the subject.
“Sister, for my sake… could you stop attacking Dongchuan City?”
Su Wanyue put on a pitiful, pleading expression.
“Ah, ow, ow, ow.”
Estella suddenly reached out and pinched Su Wanyue’s cheek, gently pulling it.
“Your face sure is soft, it feels nice to pinch.”
“Even if we witches don’t attack, other Erosion Beasts will still come. How can weak humans possibly survive?” Estella’s voice suddenly turned serious.
“Humans may be weak, but they aren’t spineless. Look at those Hunters who are only Bright Moon Rank or even lower, yet they still choose to stay and fight. Humans have a strong spirit; they won’t be wiped out so easily.” Su Wanyue stared into Estella’s eyes and spoke each word clearly.
Estella looked at Su Wanyue’s clear but determined eyes and suddenly recalled the human Hunters she had encountered on the battlefield before. They were exactly the same.
She really didn’t understand humans.
Seeking benefit and avoiding harm is the most basic instinct of living creatures.
But humans repeatedly defy this instinct, willing to die for others, for the so-called “everyone.”
This newborn witch sister with a complicated identity might really bring her some unexpected surprises.
Estella let out a long sigh.
“Alright, I agree. Who told me I’m your good sister?”
Su Wanyue looked at her sister again, her eyes filled with gratitude.
She hadn’t expected Estella to agree so readily.
But Estella suddenly extended her index finger and gently lifted Su Wanyue’s chin.
“Don’t thank me so quickly. Gratitude is the most useless thing in the world.”
“Then what do you want?” Su Wanyue gently slapped Estella’s hand away.
‘Fine, I knew it couldn’t be that simple.’
“Mm. Little Moon, you’re so heartless~”
Estella deliberately dragged out the end of her words in a spoiled tone.
“Since you say humans are strong, prove it to me. After all, I brought so many Erosion Beasts; it can’t be a total waste, right?” Estella said.
“You can’t interfere, and your disciple can only fight little Lila—it’s still very discontented.”
Other than this black cat, Estella hadn’t brought any other Blazing Sun Level Erosion Beasts. In terms of combat power, it was still acceptable.
As for her not interfering, Su Wanyue looked down at the collar around her neck.
‘Well, even if I wanted to interfere, I couldn’t, right?’
“I promise…” Su Wanyue began to speak, but Estella cut her off.
“Ah, I haven’t finished yet. Little Moon, you still need to fulfill one more request for me.”
“What request?”
“I’ll tell you later. Don’t worry, I won’t make things too hard for you~”
Looking at Estella’s smiling face, Su Wanyue wanted to say something.
‘I want to be reassured too! But given who you are, I can’t possibly be reassured!’
Everyone knows that treachery, cunning, and shamelessness are deeply engraved in a witch’s soul.
Of course, Su Wanyue was an exception—she was a fine youth who had undergone twenty years of social education. No, a fine girl!
For now, it seemed there was no better option.
“Fine.”
Su Wanyue agreed.
With that, Su Wanyue turned to leave.
“Little Moon, you’re so heartless? Can’t you stay with your sister a little longer?”
Estella’s tone of persuasion sounded like a lover being abandoned, giving Su Wanyue the strange impression that she was a heartless scumbag.
“Sister, shouldn’t it be easy for you to find me? And can you please stop trying to keep me in a women’s restroom? This really looks weird!”
“Fine, Little Moon, you must think of me! My dreams are all about you~” Estella blew a syrupy kiss.
‘Don’t just dream about people casually!’ And Su Wanyue was sure that in Estella’s dreams, she must be suffering terribly.
After finally escaping Estella, Su Wanyue looked at herself in the mirror.
“This way, Xiao Ai shouldn’t notice, right?”
‘How was she becoming more and more like a bad woman having an affair?’
“Sister~ You sure sound affectionate.” Serafica mimicked Su Wanyue.
Su Wanyue ignored Serafica’s sarcasm.
“Serafica, you didn’t even dare to talk to Estella face to face.” Su Wanyue shot back.
“Tsk.”
Serafica was clearly stung.
“I’ll come out after you’re far away from her!”
Su Wanyue stopped paying attention to her and walked out of the restroom.
It was now deep in the night, with a bright moon hanging high.
Su Wanyue walked down the corridor.
Suddenly, she saw a blond girl sitting alone outside.
The silvery moonlight poured down, falling onto the girl’s long hair, making it even more dazzling.
Su Wanyue remembered her name was Lin Shi, right?
‘Looks like I’ll have to take the trouble to guide this junior again.’
She took light steps and slowly walked over.
