They're not even human anymore; those wicked women can cry even more miserably.

He could hear the witches talking. His head was tilted slightly. At that moment, Ella was holding a cotton swab in one hand and gently placing the other hand on Xia's head, slowly cleaning his ears.

Xia felt completely relaxed.

It's a bit too comfortable.

He couldn't help but think to himself, "Auntie Ai really knows how to have fun."

As expected of someone from the older generation.

It seems I've made remarkable progress while I've been ignoring her!

The ultimate comfort in the ear canal connects to the brain, and it seems that everything else has faded away.

But the sound was clearly audible.

"The last attempt to strip away power failed, but it didn't mean we've completely lost our chance."

“Compared to fragmented authority, those ancient families hold secrets in their hands.”

"That is the foundation of our family tradition, something we urgently need to master."

"This time, our target is the Gunn family!"

Char opened his eyes.

Hearing a familiar name.

Seemingly aware of his doubts, Ella spoke up first.

"Is it the Guen family, one of the four ancient families?"

A shadowy figure nodded.

"However, it is that Gunn family."

"The birthday of the head of the Guen family will be coming soon, and a banquet will be held to celebrate."

"At that time, the defenses will be at their weakest, which will be the perfect opportunity for us to infiltrate."

Xia looked at the illusory figure that had spoken.

Aside from her witch costume, there's no discernible trace of her identity.

Ha, targeting the Gunn family?

They've even set their sights on the Witch's Banquet.

It seems that all that jealousy and the supposed counterattack from the initiative were just a facade.

Is Ella's real purpose to reveal the new plans of the Witch's Banquet to me?

Char took Ella's hand, lay on his back, and looked at her.

However, at this moment, their vision was blocked by a fierce beast.

The massive blow almost landed on Xia's face, leaving him only a little room to catch his breath.

He took Ella's hand and intertwined their fingers.

Ella lowered her eyes slightly. Although she couldn't see Xia's face, she could imagine what his expression was like.

That's his fiancée's family.

As a mentor at Seven Shields Academy, having taught so many students, why is she closer to Lilith?

While Lilith's ulterior motives towards her mentor certainly played a part, her deliberate approach was also a major factor.

Clearly, it's time to activate the buried thread.

She didn't intend to keep this from Xia.

She even proactively revealed this to him.

Ella felt her hand being held, and her little finger gently scratched his palm.

—Now, will you still doubt me?

Although no words were spoken, the meaning was self-evident through a small gesture.

She's still holding a grudge about the last time Char suspected her!

This time, she took the initiative to let him know about the witch's banquet plan, partly out of honesty and partly out of spite.

Seeing Ella's deep affection, how could Char not be moved at all?

She kept her identity as a witch a secret, unknown to outsiders.

At this moment, they actually let him sit in on the witch's tea party.

He also squeezed Ella's palm to reassure her.

Of course I believe you, we're best friends.

Ella felt a sweet warmth in her heart, and couldn't help but raise her chin a little higher.

A little bit of pride from being praised.

However, his triumph did not last long.

Ella suddenly froze, and in an instant, a muffled groan escaped her throat uncontrollably.

The sudden, intense, and strange feeling was so familiar.

If it weren't inconvenient, she would have loved to glare at him.

How could he do this?!

Char's movements did not stop.

This is all a heartfelt response to Aunt Ai.

So why can't we do it this way?

This is also an expression of his love for Aunt Ai.

Ella couldn't help but grit her teeth.

But this expression of love is just too ill-timed!

Her unusual behavior immediately alerted the other witches.

At the witches' tea party, all the witches turned their heads.

His gaze pierced through the void and landed in Ella's direction.

At this moment, she seemed to be the same as before, without any change.

But that muffled groan just now was really too unusual.

Although they looked over, they couldn't see what was happening on Ella's side because of the space between them and the cover of the magic circle.

The tea party was a meeting scheduled in advance, so how could such a change have occurred?

Could it be that we've been attacked?

The witches were all somewhat confused.

Ella's face gradually turned red as she was being "attacked".

She felt herself being watched by the other witches.

Her body couldn't help but feel even weaker.

Why does my body feel more excited when it's supposed to be an embarrassing situation?

"Sigh, my pet is naughty. When I ignored him for a long time, he bit me."

Ella explained.

Although she tried her best to keep her tone calm, you could still hear that her breathing was a little disordered.

Such an excuse was crude, but she was almost unable to think at the moment, so she could only make up an excuse to get by.

She bowed slightly, as if apologizing.

"I'm sorry to have disturbed your progress, but please allow me to take care of my pet."

In fact, at this moment, Ella had already grabbed Char's wrist.

She leaned down to meet Xia's gaze, her eyes carrying a hidden warning.

This is tea time, so don't cause any trouble!

Xia raised an eyebrow slightly. How could this be considered reckless?

It was clearly him expressing his gratitude and trust in his aunt.

Besides, your reaction is really not convincing at all.

Ella felt her head spinning and she felt completely overwhelmed.

His expression instantly became blank.

Although she was holding Xia's hand, it had absolutely no effect on stopping him.

In particular, although the tea party was nearing its end, it was not truly over.

The excuse Ella made wouldn't allow her much time to argue with Char.
