The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Shana gently swirled her wine glass, a hint of helpless amusement in her eyes:
"Every time you go to the Sky Well to do a few quests, you must plant a Witch Tree when you come back. After the child goes to school, continue to go to the Sky Well to do quests and accumulate magic power."

Just now, after returning from the Sky Well, with enough resources, I planted another Witch Tree. Little Leila is already three years old.

Over the years, many witches have come to me and said, "With such an excellent daughter like you, your next child will surely be just as outstanding. Why don't you plant another witch's tree?"

She took a sip of her drink, her expression turning somewhat wry and amused:
“But whenever I have an idea, I go to your grandma Della’s place for half a day and the idea is completely dispelled.”

Moran tilted her head curiously: "Why?"

"Young witches are cute, but other young witches aren't as easy to take care of as you were when you were little!"

Shana sighed, recalling the more than ten years she spent in Cuixi Plain:
“I remember back then, I was very poor and relied entirely on the clan association’s subsidies to support you. I was extremely anxious when you were born.”

When you were born, I discovered that you were a soul from another world, and I was a mind witch. I was overjoyed, thinking that I would finally not have accidentally raised you astray.

You've never cried or made a fuss since you were little, and you have a lot of your own ideas. The only thing to watch out for is your strong thirst for knowledge; you need to hide the magic books in the house well.

But at your grandma Della's... every time I go, I see her taking care of the baby..."

Shana shook her head, a hint of relief in her smile. "I don't think I can handle it!"

Moran couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Mom! You underestimate yourself!"

Shana was adamant about not raising the little witch anymore: "Go visit your grandmother Della and experience what it's like to raise a child yourself. Little Leila may be three years old now, but she's a little rascal! You'll know what a headache it will be like then!"

A sense of anticipation rose in Moran's heart.

Upon reflection, the only preschool witches she had truly interacted with were Sylph's two daughters—Flora and Tiana.

Moreover, that was before they were born, when they spent most of their time together as egg babies.

She left shortly after the two little ones hatched.

When she returned, Flora and Tiana had grown up and started their own travels. Now they had even gone to explore the Sky Well, and she hadn't heard from them for a long time.

In fact, Moran had also considered planting a witch tree and nurturing a little witch.

This might be a good opportunity to visit Grandma Della and learn about childcare.

After all, raising children is far more complex than simply planting a witch's tree.

After Shana's mother told her the coordinates of Della's grandmother's new address, Moran exclaimed in surprise, "It's not far from where I live at all! It only takes me ten minutes to get there by broomstick!"

"That's wonderful!" Shana said. "I'll tell Mother Della the good news right away."

After leaving the tavern, Moran returned to the witch's house and turned the hands of the magic clock by the door to the tree icon.

Turn the doorknob again, and the scene before you has changed, with a rich fragrance of flowers and fresh scents of grass and trees wafting towards you.

The mutated hollow tree she planted was not far from the site Lilith had chosen years ago, less than 500 meters away.

Also located at the intersection of Sunset Forest and Rose Sea, backed by lush forest and facing the roses covering the mountains, but closer to the sea, where you can faintly hear the gentle sound of the tide in the distance.

The mutated hollow tree has now reached its maximum size, with a thick trunk and spreading branches. It only needs some exotic magic to mature completely.

Moran stepped into the mutated hollow tree and pushed open the root door to the basement. The emerald-green tree heart was suspended in the very center of the basement, radiating a rich natural power.

Moran gently placed his palm on the tree heart and slowly infused it with one-time magic power. Before long, the tree heart matured.

At this point, the entire mutated hollow tree is completely connected to this tree heart, and can be taken into the heart at any time and carried away on long journeys.

However, Moran did not move it.

Dawn was approaching, and the sunrise and sunset here were the sights she least wanted to miss.

She used her weather forecasting skills to check the weather here, and it had been fine for the past month.

“Squeak, crack, moss,” she turned and beckoned, “Come on up, let’s go see the sunrise!”

They ascended the spiral staircase, passed through the spacious living area inside the hollow tree, and finally arrived at the treetop platform.

The platform is naturally woven from intertwined branches, and its edges are surrounded by a waist-high railing, offering a wide and unobstructed view.

To the east, the rose bushes display varying shades of pink and purple in the gradually brightening sky, merging with the deep blue sea in the distance. To the west, the canopy of the Sunset Forest sways gently in the morning breeze, as if still asleep.

Sen Tai had set up a rattan hanging chair in the best spot on the platform. Moran sat down, Zhizhi curled up on her lap, and Kaba stood quietly to the side.

On the horizon, the first ray of golden light pierced the deep blue night sky.

Immediately afterwards, the rosy clouds, like an overturned palette, spread out in layers of orange-red, gold powder, and pale purple, turning the clouds into a magnificent brocade.

The sun slowly rose, first with a golden arc, then half and then the whole thing leaped out of the sea, radiating brilliant light.

Golden sunlight spills onto the sea of ​​roses, and millions of roses seem to awaken at the same moment, with dewdrops on their petals reflecting a dazzling light.

As the wind blows, the flowers ripple and the fragrance drifts up to the treetop platform on the morning breeze.

Moran took a deep breath. The air was filled with the fragrance of flowers, sea mist, and the scent of a forest in the early morning. She leaned back in the hammock, closed her eyes, and felt the warm sunlight falling on her face. She felt completely enveloped in this peaceful and fulfilling moment.

She didn't open her eyes until the sunlight started to get a little too bright.

“Alright,” she stood up, stretched comfortably, and transformed her flying broom into a flying carpet. “Let’s go! Let’s take some gifts and go to the forest to visit Grandma Della and little Leila!”

Squeak immediately perked up, jumped off her lap onto the flying carpet, cracked her bones, grabbed the edge of the carpet, and climbed up.

Moss wrapped the edge of the flying carpet around and around, making it look like a large basket.

Moran slowly steered the flying carpet into the forest while opening the card shop:

"What should I bring for Grandma Della and Little Leila? Squeak, Kaba, Sentai, hurry up, you guys help me think of something!"

Three heads and a vine huddled together in front of the card shop interface, clicking around.

In no time, he bought a whole bunch of cards.

It has everything: food, daily necessities, and toys.

Moran got carried away and even made a few more toy cards himself. (End of Chapter)
