A stretch of darkness.
Su Wanyue and Fang Yao followed the sound and found Liya.
At the end of the dark chamber was a cell, and Liya was locked inside.
Su Wanyue met the girl again.
Compared to how she was in the Illusion Realm, Liya’s hair was now disheveled, sticking to her forehead, and her once-white stockings were stained with dust.
Fortunately, Liya was still in decent condition.
“Liya, are you okay?”
Su Wanyue stepped forward to carefully check Liya’s condition.
“Sister, I’m fine. Be careful—there are other guards here.” Liya looked up at her.
“Don’t be afraid, I’m here. Fang Yao, go open the cell door.”
Su Wanyue gave the order to Fang Yao.
Fang Yao opened the cell.
Suddenly, the wind carried a smell similar to wood.
“Looks like an uninvited guest has arrived.”
Su Wanyue turned to look—it was a short-haired girl.
“Sister, she’s reached Blazing Sun Level.” Liya’s small hands tightly gripped Su Wanyue’s clothes.
“Blazing Sun Level? I’ll show you that even at the same level, there can be a gap.”
With Su Wanyue’s declaration, a powerful surge of magical energy spread like a vast tide, instantly sweeping through the entire dark chamber.
Everyone suddenly noticed a massive magic circle appearing beneath their feet.
The runes on it flickered faintly in the darkness.
A pale blue glow illuminated the terrified face of the short-haired girl.
“Impossible…”
Su Wanyue chanted in her heart: ‘By my contract, draw the embers of the stars—”Super-level Magic: Annihilation”!’
In the vast dark chamber, a mass of black mist appeared out of nowhere, engulfing the opponent.
In an instant, the black mist dissipated, leaving the spot empty without a trace.
The figure of the short-haired girl had completely vanished.
‘So strong? Killed in one move?’ Standing to the side, Fang Yao’s thoughts were scrolling frantically in her mind, ‘So even a Blazing Sun Level can be killed casually by our Captain? Isn’t that the same level as those old monsters in the Capital City?’
Then, Fang Yao suddenly remembered the rude things she had said to Su Wanyue before, and a chill ran down her spine.
It was said that veteran hunters who had lived a long time were unpredictable.
‘What if one day she takes a dislike to me and casually kills me too?’
“Fang Yao, what’s wrong? Did it affect you?”
Su Wanyue’s terrifying aura retracted easily.
“N-no, it didn’t affect me! I’m fine! Captain, you’re amazing!” Fang Yao snapped out of it and waved her hands hurriedly.
“By the way, Captain, shouldn’t we at least let her introduce herself? Now we won’t get any information, right?”
“She no longer has her own consciousness.” Su Wanyue replied calmly.
“What does that mean?”
“A Marionette Puppet. She was turned into a puppet by their ‘Big Sister.’ Even if we kept her alive, we couldn’t get any information.”
“A puppet… These witches are terrifying. Thank goodness we have you, Captain!”
Su Wanyue did not respond and thought, ‘The one standing in front of you is a witch!’
***
On the way out of the church.
Liya enthusiastically held Su Wanyue’s hand, happily chattering away.
“So, Liya, you contracted a strange disease overseas, came to Hua Kingdom for treatment, and then were tricked into participating in an experiment?”
Su Wanyue walked slowly, matching Liya’s pace.
“Mm…”
Liya answered Su Wanyue perfunctorily.
“Perhaps Liya didn’t become a witch because of the experiment.” Serafica suddenly said.
“Not a witch because of an experiment? Then you mean she’s a natural-born witch? How is that possible?”
After all, in Su Wanyue’s past understanding, weren’t witches all creatures that came into this world through rifts of corruption?
“That’s true, but her situation might be like yours, or even more special.”
“For example?”
“Perhaps someday she will be able to resonate with a Soul Weapon.”
“You mean Liya can become both a hunter and a witch?”
This truly shocked Su Wanyue.
“Who knows.”
“Sister, your hands are so soft~ Can I also touch your legs?”
“Sure, go ahead.”
Su Wanyue was focused on discussing with Serafica and didn’t notice what Liya was saying.
The next second, a soft, ticklish feeling came from her inner thigh.
“Liya, w-what are you doing?!”
Liya immediately withdrew her hand, pursed her lips, and avoided eye contact.
“N-nothing, Sister! Let’s hurry. I want to see what my home looks like!”
“…”
Along the way, Liya’s mouth never stopped.
Su Wanyue responded to her back and forth.
Maybe the little one had no sense of security, which was why she was so clingy.
But the situation was exactly the opposite of what Su Wanyue thought.
After receiving Su Wanyue’s unintentional responses, Liya kept groping Su Wanyue the whole way.
Every time Su Wanyue frowned, the little one would pull her hand back.
When Su Wanyue’s brow relaxed, the hand would come back.
If it weren’t for Liya’s innocent, cute face, Su Wanyue would have thought she’d run into some perverted old woman.
‘What’s going on? The girls around me all seem to have strange personalities?’
Finally, Fang Yao, who had been temporarily invisible, couldn’t hold back anymore, “Hey, you little girl, what are you doing to the Captain!”
But all she got in response was Liya sticking out her tongue and making a face.
“I can’t take it anymore!”
The volcano erupted instantly.
“Fang Yao, you can’t beat her. She’s already reached Bright Moon Level.”
Su Wanyue promptly stopped the loser dog who was about to charge in for a fight.
The volcano stopped erupting.
“What? Boohoo, Captain, then can you let me touch your legs too?”
Fang Yao approached Su Wanyue with a pitiful face.
Even though she hadn’t gotten permission, she reached out a hand.
“Baby talk is gross. Fang Yao, do you want your training doubled again?”
“Aaaaah, Captain, you’re just a lolicon!”
Seeing that Su Wanyue seemed genuinely a bit angry, Liya approached her.
She tugged at Su Wanyue’s clothes, making a sullen face she asked, “Sister, do you dislike me?”
Looking at that pitiful face that anyone would feel sorry for, Su Wanyue’s face twitched.
“No, it’s just that you’re a bit too enthusiastic, Liya.”
“Then I’ll hold back a little, okay?”
Su Wanyue did not answer.
“Yay! Sister is the best!”
‘Forget it, I won’t argue with a kid.’
Su Wanyue frantically hypnotized herself.
“Captain, with this personality of yours, in an 18+ game, you’d be a surefire adult script.”
Fang Yao leaned over and couldn’t help but tease.
“Play fewer unhealthy games.”
“Yes, yes, yes~”
After saying goodbye to Fang Yao, the next thing was to arrange accommodation for the little one.
However, walking to the entrance of the Hunter Association base, Su Wanyue suddenly remembered.
The base seemed to have no empty rooms left, and in her room, wasn’t there already Su Yao living there?
‘Thinking about it, could it be that her single bed would end up holding three people?’
