The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

As Moran picked up the eight {Gem Coin Cards}, he used Mental Illusion.

The mental illusion was aimed at Lu Wen, but the illusionary scenes she simulated were also displayed on the crystal glass window.

To Lu Wen and the people outside the window, Moran picked up the cards one by one, looked at them, and then put them back on the table.

In fact, after she got the card, she leaned over and pressed her finger on his forehead, controlling his mind. Within seconds, she mobilized all her mental power to copy all his memories into her own mind, and then sat back down.

The illusion and reality merged into one, and she pushed the {Gem Coin Card} back onto the table:

"Sorry, each person can only exchange a maximum of thirty candy coins per day."

Moran certainly wouldn't let Lu Wen buy a huge pile of candy at once. If buying it through a proxy can satisfy the angel behind him, when will the angel come to her in person?
Although she hadn't had time to peruse his memories, the images that flashed by during the copying process were enough for her to confirm that there was indeed an angel behind Lu Wen's luminous fairy.

Lu Wen had no idea that his memories from birth to the present had just been copied away, and he was still dissatisfied with only being able to exchange them for thirty candy coins: "Thirty? That's too few!"

Thirty candy coins can only be exchanged for thirty candies. And those candies are so small, thirty candies aren't even enough to fill a gap in Millie's teeth!

"I'm sorry, I'm the only candy maker in our shop, so our production capacity is limited. We also have too many customers, and eating too much candy isn't good for your health," Moran said apologetically, but her attitude was firm.

If Lu Wen hadn't remembered that he was a hermit on the surface and couldn't lose control of his emotions in front of outsiders, he would have slammed his fist on the table and asked her if she was crazy and was giving up business.

Seeing that Moran showed no sign of changing his mind, he could only grit his teeth and say, "Fine, I'll come back tomorrow."

Lu Wen's gaze swept over the transparent candy jars in the sugar-making area, then he grabbed thirty candy coins and hurriedly left the candy exchange area.

As soon as he stepped out of the candy exchange area, light elements gracefully descended upon his shoulder, and a voice echoed in his mind:

"Lu Wen, this candy is really delicious, a thousand times better than candy made from honey-light fruit. Eating it feels like I'm back to being a carefree little angel, even my feathers look prettier! I saved one for you too, open your mouth!"

Hearing her cheerful voice, Lu Wen forced a smile, wanting to laugh as well, but looking at the candy coins in his hand, he couldn't manage a smile. He thought to himself:

"No, you can have them all! Each person can only exchange for thirty candy coins a day to buy thirty candies."

"Huh? Why is there so little?"

"Don't worry, I'll find a way to collect more magic candies!"

Lu Wen took out the {Gem Coin Cards} that he hadn't spent yet: "I'm willing to buy Candy Coins at double the price. Those interested can come find me!"

Seeing that the hermits in the shop had a lukewarm response, he went to each of them one by one and asked, "Would you be willing to sell candy coins? Double the price isn't enough, triple is fine too..."

Unfortunately, the hermits were more curious than interested in his words.

Although they weren't interested in the candy itself, they were interested in the magical effects it came with, which made them look more holy.

Each candy's magical effect only lasts for a few hours; thirty candies aren't enough for them to maintain their pristine appearance for 24 hours a day!
{Gem Coin Cards}, which cannot be exchanged for more magic candies, are meaningless to them.

They themselves wanted to exchange for more magic candies!

Lu Wen ran into obstacles everywhere and failed to acquire a single candy coin, something Moran had anticipated. Her intention was to force the angels who desired candy to personally leave the gates of Heaven and come to her.

Lu Wen left the candy store disappointed.

"Lu Wen, don't be sad. These candies work really well. Even just thirty a day will keep me happy for much longer."

Lu Wen knew she was comforting herself: "If one day, no candy can hold onto your affections, then I will bathe in your holy light, become your faithful believer, a part of your power, and that way I can be with you forever..."

"Okay! If only I weren't an angel, but just a fairy of light and shadow."

New customers walked into the candy coin exchange, but that didn't stop the witches from asking Moran questions in their witch tongue.

"Was that all?" Garona asked.

Moran nodded: "I have completely copied his memories."

A human's memories spanning decades can be copied in just this long.

"Human mental magic is amazing! It's one thing that Lu Wen didn't notice it while he was in it, but I didn't even realize when the illusion started or ended!" Melinda said.

“I’m different! I know it started when I picked up the {Gem Coin Card},” Bella said.

Amid the astonished gazes of the other witches, Bella pointed to the crystal glass window: "I realized the illusion had begun when I saw the phantom flashing across the crystal glass window."

Moran was not surprised by this: "Mental energy is indeed more concealed than other magical energies. Those with lower-level mental energy have difficulty detecting fluctuations of higher-level mental energy, which also makes mental magic difficult to detect."

This is why she dared to use mental magic to do these things.

Even a mage who specializes in mental power would find it difficult to match her total mental power.

"Did Lu Wen really fall in love with the angel?" Agnes asked curiously.

Moran shook his head: "I haven't had time to examine his memories in detail yet, but it's true that there's an angel behind his light and shadow fairy."

Customers flocked to exchange their candy coins, keeping Moran busy until 5 p.m. When the candy shop closed, she hung up a "Closed" sign at the candy coin exchange area and stopped serving customers.

By this time, most of the hermits who wanted to buy candy had already bought it and tasted it. However, after eating the candy, most of them were willing to stay a little longer in this shop that resembled "paradise".

After the loudspeaker inside the store announced the closing time, the hermits who were lingering there gradually left.

After the last customer left, the candy store door slowly closed.

Moran then came out to restock the candy machine, and while she was at it, she cleaned up the store and tidied up the chairs in the rest area that had been messed up.

Today's candy sales were excellent; almost every customer who came to the store used up their limit of thirty candies.

After the witches discovered that she could handle the booming business of the candy store all by herself, they left to go about their own business, waiting for her to sort out Lu Wen's memories so she could gossip about him in the group chat. (End of Chapter)
