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

Page 133

"Hey, it's the bottle you drank from."

If lies could solve the problem, then a rational witch would likely choose to lie without hesitation.

But friendship is never built by piling up one problem after another; it is built by opening one's pure heart to another.

Qingxue pouted, feeling somewhat unwilling and regretful.

She didn't want her first friendship to end in this way. Jiang Kehan ​​and she studied and played together, and it was no longer because Jiang Kehan ​​was her first friend that she felt special.

(a) j澪易飼呜i揪寺玖, but these unforgettable experiences together weave the dream that both of them are protecting.

A dream I don't want to wake up from, a dream I'll never forget.

Once you tell a lie, you have to cover it up with a thousand different lies; once you make an excuse, you have a thousand excuses to distance yourself from someone.

Moreover, Qingxue dared not gamble, nor did she want to. How long would it take for Jiang Kehan, an alchemist, to discover that what she had drunk was not juice?

"Actually, it was a pink potion..."

Qingxue turned her head away, her voice trembling with tears, trying to pull her hand away from Jiang Kehan's.

This girl, who seemed rather quiet at first glance, appeared to be experiencing her first unexpected growth.

"If you want to scold me, then scold me." Qingxue tried hard to pull the grievances out of her voice and spoke with feigned strength.

In her heart, she had already cursed her own idiocy to the point of being disgusting, while simultaneously feeling the grievance of being cursed by herself.

Disappointment, loneliness, and confusion all simultaneously impacted her heart.

It felt empty, like a pitch-black night, with only the water I couldn't hold onto and the fading moonlight in my hand, fragmented and hopeless.

But Jiang Kehan ​​did not let go.

She frowned again, took Qingxue's hand, and turned the pages word by word, just like when the two of them read together.

It wasn't until Jiang Kehan ​​found this sentence that she softly read it aloud.

"Please note that the potion will only take effect after the witch stops her magic circulation; otherwise, it will only cause mild dizziness and weakness."

"See, everything's fine now, isn't it? The medicine doesn't work on me."

Jiang Kehan ​​smiled and placed her other hand on Qingxue's head.

So there's no need to blame yourself.

"But I even made it so that you would drink it!" Qingxue twitched her nose slightly, still not daring to look at Jiang Kehan.

Jiang Kehan's lips twitched, her eyes instantly filled with astonishment.

I never expected you to be like this, Qingxue. And why didn't you even try to hide it?

"No, it's okay. Actually, I've had similar thoughts, such as making cat ear potions."

Jiang Kehan ​​tried her best to keep it in check. She could only say that she had respected her friends' quirks in her past life, let alone someone like Qingxue who just wanted to see her act cute.

The fact that the main character is Jiang Kehan ​​herself makes her very uncomfortable.

But actually... there's nothing wrong with it, right?

Jiang Kehan ​​also became a little uncertain, but she knew that she didn't take it to heart.

"Huh?" Qingxue turned to look at Jiang Kehan ​​with tears in her eyes. "Really?"

So Kehan ​​had this thought before?

Do you want me to drink the cat ear potion?

Should I... should I find some time to drink this as compensation for this? What clothes should I wear then?

Jiang Kehan ​​was unaware that the other party was already preparing a "surprise," and she nodded affirmatively.

"Of course, so remember not to call the pink potion juice next time."

"Kehan ​​is the best!" Qingxue smiled through her tears, unsure how to describe her feelings at that moment.

Like a baby being held in its mother's arms, nestled in her embrace and listening to her humming a lullaby, feeling very safe and secure.

Chapter 193 Hidden Possessiveness

Jiang Kehan ​​didn't realize that she had dug a small but significant pit for her with just a few words.

And it's hard to say whether it's a surprise or a shock.

But the atmosphere between the two did gradually ease.

This also gave Jiang Kehan ​​the opportunity to explain her purpose for coming: "By the way, Qingxue still remembers her promise to become a substitute member of the school team, right?"

She squinted her eyes, smiled, and gently pulled Qingxue out of her reverie.

Qingxue's voice still trembled with sobs; she hadn't fully calmed down after such a rollercoaster of emotions.

But when faced with Jiang Kehan's question, she nodded vigorously and answered without the slightest hesitation: "Of course I remember, I'm ready to make a contribution for you!"

Especially for you… Qingxue made almost no attempt to hide her feelings and spoke them out decisively.

“Especially Kehan, I hope I can be of help to you.”

"Huh?" Jiang Kehan ​​felt slightly uncomfortable with Qingxue's sudden change in attitude. She couldn't help but chuckle awkwardly, her gaze drifting around for some reason.

"Everyone on the school team is a very nice person, so we can't give them any special treatment."

Even if Jiang Kehan ​​was slow to realize, she did realize something was wrong—she seemed to have unknowingly messed something up.

"I know, but Kehan ​​didn't come here just to confirm, did she?" Qingxue wiped away the remaining tears from the corners of her eyes, her gaze resolute.

If there's anything more precious than friendship, it's the friendship that's been lost and then found again.

Moreover, Jiang Kehan's gentle and kind performance was perfect in Qingxue's eyes!

"Yes, the school team has a party before the competition to let everyone get to know each other, and I invited you to attend."

For some reason, Jiang Kehan ​​felt as if she had been called on by the teacher in class under Qingxue's gaze, and she couldn't help but feel awkward.

"The project is fishing. I don't know if Qingxue is interested."

"Of course I'm interested." Qingxue stood on tiptoe and looked at Jiang Kehan ​​very seriously. "Besides, Kehan ​​will be there too!"

Uh oh, I have to get out of here, now, immediately!

Jiang Kehan ​​felt somewhat disheartened. She wondered if it was because of the pink potion, but she always felt like she was being humiliated in a fighting game when facing Qingxue's attitude.

There is no way to fight back.

She might as well just run away and wait for the effects of the drug to wear off; she'll be a hero again!

"That's settled then. I'll be going now if there's nothing else." Jiang Kehan ​​stood up and said to Qingxue, "I still need to invite other people."

"Let me see you off." Qingxue also got up.

The two went downstairs, and Qingxue smiled slightly as she looked at her mother, who was still resting on the table.

After seeing Jiang Kehan ​​off, she went to Qingran and placed the book containing the information about the pink potion in front of her.

"Thank you mom~"

Qingran yawned, then saw the book Qingxue handed her, and her face turned red.

"You went to my alchemy room?!" Her eyes twitched, feeling as if she were facing the greatest test of her motherhood.

"Okay, remember to clean up next time. It's a necessary procedure in alchemy, but I'll forgive you this time."

Qingxue nodded gently, her smile somewhat mysterious, which made Qingran narrow her eyes sharply. Considering how hurriedly Jiang Kehan ​​had left earlier, she was momentarily at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

I don't know whether to be happy that my daughter has finally taken the initiative, or to worry that my authority as a mother has been shattered.

Yes, and there's also her sense of integrity in her daughter's eyes.

"Yes, I will." Qingran looked at her daughter, who seemed to have grown up a lot in a short time. Her complicated feelings were finally replaced by relief. "You've grown up too... If you dare to come into my alchemy room next time, it'll be a double whammy from both of your mothers."

Qingxue mischievously stuck out her tongue and ran back to her alchemy room. She wanted to give Jiang Kehan ​​a surprise to apologize!

……

……

Outside the door, Jiang Kehan, who had practically escaped, patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Qingxue enter the alchemy workshop.

She had originally planned to invite Qingxue and Solita today, but now it seems she should go home and rest.

"I wonder if Li Hui is home? But it won't stop me from taking a nap."

After calming herself down, Jiang Kehan ​​stretched and headed home.

Meanwhile, Solita, whom she was somewhat concerned about, was sitting on the edge of the sky island with her teacher, quietly gazing ahead.

Bo Yuxue, with a lollipop in her mouth, spoke indifferently.

"Why are you pushing yourself so hard?"

During this period, Solita's demeanor was completely different from her somewhat delicate and sickly appearance; she was extremely aggressive.

Even from the perspective of a demon or witch, this girl was going way too far, almost to the point of fighting to the death.

As long as they don't die from training, they can get up and continue after a few minutes, completely disregarding the mental pressure they are under.

"Me?" Solita seemed to stretch her legs into the clouds, swaying gently, her eyes filled with a hint of reminiscence.

"Just so that I can have a place behind someone else."

Bo Yuxue pursed her lips; she didn't believe it was that simple.

"It's not just that, it looks like you want to devour Jiang Kehan ​​alive, it's simply..."

"Like a pervert." Bo Yuxue finally changed to a simpler word to describe him, otherwise she felt that her hundreds of words of description sounded like an insult.

That's not good; she's a lady.

She would only start scolding Jiang Kehan ​​when she was around, and she would provoke Jiang Kehan ​​to do it, because that would be more fun.

Those who study the Magic Weaving School are all a bit mentally unstable; they're either the most despicable people or gravitationally deranged.

In fact, the more eccentric they are, the stronger they are in combat.

For example, Gu Qingci is actually a master of magic weaving. Her focus on strength outweighs the negative impact of her incurable emotional intelligence, making her almost unmatched in direct combat using magic weaving.

Bo Yuxue, on the other hand, excels at interference and influence, which is a manifestation of the mind's adaptation to magic.

“But that’s good too, this is the style that our Magic Weaving should have!” Bo Yuxue gave Solita a thumbs up and spoke in a very natural tone.
