It felt so good to be close to the witch!

"The giant tree floats above the endless, dark abyss, its roots stretching far into the depths."

"And not long after I reached the top of the mountain, the center of the giant tree, which was surrounded by several thick main roots, slowly loosened, and a pure blue leaf emerged from it and flew to my side."

"My body's instinct made me raise my hand and catch the pure green leaf."

"Before my consciousness faded into darkness, I vaguely heard a hazy voice."

"she says."

"Go search...search...beware...original sin..."

"I don't understand what that sentence means, but I instinctively feel that the fewer people who know about this, the better. So, I've chosen to tell you the only one."

At this moment, Shanika's pupils were dilated, and she murmured in a tone similar to that of a dream.

After listening attentively to Shanika's story, Roy's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was in turmoil.

"Beware... original sin..."

--original sin!

Could the "original sin" that Shanika heard in the Talent Evolution Space refer to be the [Original Sin Cube] within him?

Could it be that the World Tree that supports heaven and earth in Shanika's Talent Evolution Space, and the entire world, withered to this state because of the [Original Sin Cube]?

Roy shook his head, dismissing the guess.

From the current perspective, the [Original Sin Cube] does not have direct destructive power; it is more like a tool, a tool to assist the host in growing.

It doesn't even actively appear on the character panel unless it encounters anything related to "forbidden items," making its presence almost nonexistent.

Of course, all of this is just Roy's speculation.

However, compared to the [Original Sin Cube], Roy prefers the "original sin" mentioned by the voice, which is a kind of life entity.

The "Original Sin Cube" is not the only thing related to "original sin".

The legendary S-class forbidden object, or even the witch herself...

The most orthodox way for a Grand Witch to break through to the Great Witch realm is to resonate with her original sin nature. This means that the deeper a witch goes on the path, the stronger her connection to original sin becomes. With the strength of a Great Witch, she certainly couldn't cause such terrifying destruction to the World Tree that supports heaven and earth, but what about those above the Great Witch level?

The path of a knight, even beyond the legendary knight, still has an unparalleled realm. Roy does not believe that the realm of the Great Witch is the limit for a witch.

Roy had always had a question.

Where exactly is the talent evolution space that the witch enters when her talent evolves?

Neither Lilia's shadow world, nor Ais's frost world, nor even the withered giant tree world that Shanika experienced, are things that do not belong to the material world.

Take the pitch-black, towering tree as an example. If such a "world tree" that supports the heavens and the earth really exists, it should be visible from anywhere, or at least its outline.

In reality, not only has it not been seen, but there is not a single word about the "Tree of the Dark World" in any written records, folk tales, or even myths.

There is no such thing as the Dark World Tree in this world!

But those worlds do exist.

The basis for this is the shadow creature that Lilia summoned from the shadow world.

Whether it's the Shadow Ravens, or the Shadow Giant Wolf Fenrir and the Azure Horned Moon Wolf King, they are all real creatures that could never be replicated through mere imagination.

These shadow creatures each have their own complete ecosystem and food chain in the shadow world.

Similarly, the icy world that Ais experienced and the withered giant tree world that Shanika experienced are also real worlds.

But why is there no information about these other worlds in the Radiant Empire?

Shanica and Lilia's strength is only that of witches, comparable to silver knights. The fact that they can connect to "other worlds" with this level of power means that these "other worlds" are definitely not far from the main world. There is no reason why legendary knights and the empire would not know about these worlds.

Perhaps the upper echelons of the empire do have relevant intelligence, but the original owner and her father were at too low a level to be qualified to make contact?

The Tree of the Dark World...

With a sigh, Roy suppressed all his thoughts.

Regardless, the only thing he can do now is to increase his strength and influence as much as possible.

Only in this way can he face everything with greater composure in the future.

Just then, Roy, who was deep in thought, suddenly felt a faint fragrance wafting towards him. He looked up in surprise and met a pair of moist eyes that were less than five centimeters away from his own.

At this distance, Roy could clearly see a faint, ethereal purple hue deep within Shanika's eyes, which were even more shimmering than the waters of a starry lake during the day.

Her skin was even more delicate and fair than the finest jade; her face was so exquisite that even the most skilled craftsman could not capture a tenth of its charm; and the warm breath that gently escaped from her slightly parted lips sent shivers down one's spine.

Following the line of sight downwards, beyond a brief plain rises dramatically towering, majestic mountains—truly the most beautiful masterpiece of the Creator.

If you look down and can't see your toes, you'll be a beauty beyond compare.

"Shani...Ka?"

The warm breath exhaled from Shanika's cherry lips caused Roy's neck to react, his pupils dilating slightly as he gazed into the deep purple depths of Shanika's eyes.

He had seen this color before.

Just as the Chapter of Lust in the [Original Sin Cube] was lit up, the goat-shaped pattern on the "Original Sin - Lust" side was this dark purple color.

Something's wrong, Shanika's current state is very strange!

“Shanika, you…”

As Roy spoke, his body instinctively leaned back, but for every little distance he leaned back, Shanika moved forward a little, and the distance between them did not decrease at all.

Roy was standing on the edge of the flower bed. Under Shanika's "pressure", he had to retreat, but after only two steps, his body touched the flower bed. Before he could turn to the side, Shanika, who had been keeping pace with him, suddenly accelerated.

With a "bang," a delicate white hand pressed down on Roy's chest, the powerful force slamming him onto the flower bed before he could react.

"Squeak..."

The flower bed swayed, making a sour sound.

Roy's body was somewhat stiff.

At this moment, Shanika had one hand on his left cheek and the other on his right armpit, with her dazzlingly white thighs wrapped around his waist.

In this position, Roy was completely unable to move.

Not only that.

The distance between their faces was less than three centimeters. In the quiet environment, Roy could even hear his own rapidly beating heartbeat and Shanika's slightly hurried breathing.

The soft, drooping fabric deformed at Roy's chest, like a water bag spreading out at the bottom, causing Roy's breathing to become rapid without him even realizing it.

A delicate fragrance, disordered breathing... The deep purple in Shanika's eyes gradually expanded, almost completely filling her pupils!

The distance between the lips is getting closer, three centimeters, two centimeters...

Roy's physique, comparable to that of a gold-ranked individual, gave him the ability to forcefully pry open Shanika's body, but the stiffness of his body and the blankness of his mind left him almost powerless and unable to make any movements.

One centimeter...

At this distance, Roy could even vaguely feel the fine downy hairs on Shanika's face twitching, tickling and tingling.

Just as the distance between them was about to reach zero, a wisp of pure blue light suddenly shone in the center of Shanika's completely dark purple pupils.

Compared to the deep purple, the pure blue was so faint, like a candle flickering in the wind, which could be extinguished at any moment. However, the appearance of the pure blue light changed Shanika's eyes, as if she had just woken up from a dream, her expression lively yet slightly hazy.

"Young Master Roy~"

The moment the distance stopped closing, Roy relaxed a bit, and the breathing he had been holding due to tension resumed, and he began to gasp for breath.

As the deep purple faded and her pupils returned to their original blue-gold color, Shanika looked at Roy beneath her. The intense sensation of their chests touching caused large patches of red to spread across her neck and cheeks.

But Shanica didn't back down. Instead, she leaned forward, tilting her head to the side, and at the last moment, rubbed and pressed her cheek against Roy's cheek.

Roy could clearly feel the sudden, drastic deformation of the soft object pressing against him; the indescribable sensation made his heart race uncontrollably.

"I'm so scared..."

The voice, filled with complex emotions, rang in his ears, causing Roy's thoughts to focus slightly.

"It all feels like a dream."

"I'm terrified that the beauty of my dreams will vanish without a trace when I wake up."

"Therefore, I long to be close to you, to feel the warmth of your body, the beating of your heart, so that I can have a real sense of existence..."

"I was filled with fear the moment I woke up by Xinghu Lake."

"If I hadn't woken up, if I had never seen you again, I can't imagine what that would have been like."

"Fortunately, it was just a nightmare."

“I hate my weakness, and I don’t want to be a burden to you… so I will work even harder.”

"Young Master Roy..."

At this point, Shanica turned her head and cupped Roy's face with both hands, making him look at her.

Two pairs of eyes, one blue and one light brown, their gazes locked in a silent exchange.

"Please continue to take care of me in the days to come~"

A gentle and bright smile appeared on Shanica's face, like the warm winter sun shining through transparent glass, and also through the turbulent hearts of people.

"Even if one day in the future you no longer need me, I will still silently follow behind you."

"Your future is bound to be bright and glorious, and I firmly believe that."

After saying her last words, Shanica released her hands that were supporting Roy's face, propped herself up, and her extremely soft body bounced and expanded with her movement.

Seeing Roy's slightly dazed expression, Shanica licked her lips.

"Seriously, I can't resist the urge to eat you up~"

Chapter 122 "Eating"

The soft light filtered through Shanika's loose hair, creating dappled shadows.

Roy lay on the flower bed, looking at Shanika, who was less than thirty centimeters away from him, and gazed at her soft, almost watery eyes. For a moment, his gaze was dazed.

I still remember when we first met, the girl sat quietly at her desk, holding a book in one hand and sipping tea in the other, giving off an intellectual and elegant older sister vibe.
