Witches, please stop thinking about me!

Knowledge can be learned, but it cannot be simply instilled.

Because that will make your brain feel like an incompetent husband, helplessly watching himself being stuffed full while feeling dizzy, bloated, and unable to speak.

As Lin Jiu walked out of the classroom, she was already experiencing very obvious aftereffects of inhaling strong knowledge.

Following the crowd toward the university gate, the twilight cast dappled shadows on the ground through the maple leaves on both sides of the road.

"Wow, what a beautiful auntie, no, what a beautiful sister?"

"Who is she here to see? Or is she a new professor at the school? She's so beautiful..."

"I suddenly realize that I might not like Yang Mi as much as I like her anymore..."

"You're a fickle, opportunistic, and despicable person!"

"Look over there..."

"...I'm despicable too!"

The red sports car was so eye-catching among the cars at the school gate, but compared to the tall and slender figure of 1.93 meters who was leaning lazily against the car door, it seemed a bit overshadowed.

Red-soled strappy high heels revealed the slender instep encased in black stockings, with glimpses of snow-white skin peeking through the black stockings that hugged her shapely calves.

Her long, slender legs crossed one after the other, her rounded, full curves resting lightly against the car window beneath her black pencil skirt, her white shirt binding her firm, toned abdomen and barely supporting her high breasts.

With slender, long arms, she removed the hairband she was gently biting and pulled it to the back of her head, elegantly tucking her golden-brown curly hair up.

Behind the oval, frameless glasses were a pair of narrow, alluring eyes, and her charming, delicate face carried a hint of indifference towards her surroundings.

She rolled up her sleeves, revealing a watch on her porcelain-white wrist, and glanced at the time.

Qianying crossed her arms and impatiently tapped her left arm with her right index finger.

Among the crowd coming and going at the entrance, everyone, regardless of gender, subconsciously turned their gaze to the alluring and elegant tall figure beside the sports car.

A hint of eagerness flashed in the eyes of the men around her, but after comparing their heights and glancing at the sports car beneath her, they obediently chose to back away.

Liu Mei glanced at the students leaping out from the front, a hint of impatience appearing in her eyes as she waited in vain for her target to appear.

Following her gaze, she spotted a boy in the crowd whose features were somewhat youthful, yet exuded a clean and handsome air.

"Your last class today ends at 4:45. It takes 15 minutes to walk from your classroom here. It's already 5:10, so you're 10 minutes late."

Just hearing it was enough to spark one's imagination. A mature and elegant voice came through, and Lin Jiu awkwardly scratched her hair.

"I went to the restroom."

Liu Mei glanced at him quietly, then turned around, opened the car door for him, and went to the driver's seat.

"Holy crap, Lin Jiu, is this your sister?"

Lin Jiu's classmates, who were familiar with her, quickly gathered around to ask questions. Lin Jiu looked at them, their eyes full of gossip, and pretended to be surprised to hide their true thoughts.

"Hmm...it's a bit complicated."

"Hmm? Complicated, could it be your girlfriend?"

"Well..."

"How long are you going to make me wait?"

Seeing the indifferent look Liu Mei gave him from the driver's seat, Lin Jiu didn't bother to explain and quickly went to sit in the passenger seat.

The roar of the sports car echoed at the school gate, and the discussion had only just begun.

Looking at Liu Mei, who was focused on driving, Lin Jiu couldn't help but recall the dream from two days ago.

In her dream, Lin Jiu appeared in a spacious bathroom, lying in a bathtub filled with flower petals.

His fair, rounded knees crisscrossed among the petals on the water's surface, the temperature of the water even reaching his mind.

In this dream, Lin Jiu's consciousness was like that of a player watching a cutscene.

After soaking for an unknown amount of time, Qianying's right hand, which should have been on the bathtub, suddenly fell into the water.

Then, a familiar yet strange feeling entered my brain.

I say "familiar" because, as a single person, I've had a lot of time to relieve loneliness, so naturally I've become familiar with people.

It feels unfamiliar because the dream was told from a female perspective.

The enchanting voice was so clear in the dream caused by the side effects of her own abilities that Lin Jiu could still recall its breathtaking beauty.

After a long while, as the soft chanting stopped, a sigh of loss followed.

Then the view rose, and we came to the showerhead.

Next, in front of a full-length mirror that almost covered the entire wall, she took a bath towel with her fair and slender hands and began to carefully wipe her body.

With just one glance, Lin Jiu recognized the location of the snow-capped mountains and canyons that came into view.

Meanwhile, the owner of the scene in his dream was sitting next to him, focused on driving to his destination.

The dream felt so real that even the ripples from the towel wiping his body were clearly transmitted to his mind.

In the final moments of the dream, body lotion was rubbed into her palms, and her long, shapely left leg was placed on a small stool as she began her skincare routine.

Then, a red butterfly that grows in the forest suddenly appeared before my eyes.

The person in the dream was right next to Lin Jiu at that moment.

Three days ago, Lin Jiu was just an ordinary college student, heading home as usual, when he inexplicably entered the Otherworld.

Recalling how he was almost killed by the elusive, corpse-like lord of the Otherworld, his blood reacted with that of Liu Mei, the witch of the Otherworld, and they merged and fought their way out of the Otherworld.

Lin Jiu is still somewhat dazed, because in his mind, the world is just like that, nothing special.

"How's your research on your abilities going?"

A magnetic voice came from the side, interrupting Lin Jiu's thoughts.

"It is currently confirmed that we can merge with you through the crown, and can temporarily condense a ghostly avatar like a demi-human to fight alongside you."

"And... on the night after we merged, the dream about your past that was transmitted to my mind through the black crown... Apart from that, my perception ability can only be activated after we merged."

At the crossroads, Liu Mei's narrow eyes glanced at Lin Jiu in the passenger seat.

Recalling the majestic and solemn black crown he had summoned, he pondered for a moment and then spoke softly.

"Tomorrow is the weekend. After we finish our business today, we'll study in the Otherworld together. After that, you can sleep at my place."

"Uh... okay."

Looking at Liu Mei's cool yet alluring face, Lin Jiu had some thoughts to share.

But she only dared to have a few thoughts, after all, the witch in her secret room who had been tortured to the point of near death was enough to prove how dangerous she was.

It is beautiful, but it is not only thorny, it is also highly poisonous.

It's best not to touch things recklessly...

The sports car headed out of the city and arrived at an empty quarry before dark.

Under the blue sky, Liu Mei sat on the hood of a sports car.

Two beams of light enveloped her, obscuring her figure.

The sound of tires running over pebbles could be heard, and a black minivan pulled up beside them.

Then, a smart-looking housekeeper dressed in a black suit, with her hair in a ponytail and wearing black leather gloves, came down carrying two sumptuous dinners and a folding table.

Lin Jiu helped unfold the table and chairs. Liu Mei, who was in the shadows, smoothed her hair back and walked out from in front of the car through the lamppost to the table.

"Clean up the guest room next to mine and prepare the necessary supplies for men."

"Okay, boss."

After delivering dinner, the butler turned and left.

As for the tables and chairs, nobody cared.

"Have you finished eating?"

Amidst the chirping of insects, Liu Mei's magnetic and sexy voice rang out once again.

"alright."

Liu Mei nodded, took a tissue from the table, pulled one out, and handed it to him.

She got up and went to the center of the quarry, and Lin Jiu quickly followed her to her side.

She's really tall. Lin Jiu is 1.7 meters tall, and her height just reaches her shoulder.

To have such a height and such a figure and appearance, God is truly unfair.

Amidst Lin Jiu's chaotic thoughts, the two-dimensional crystal emitting white light appeared in Liu Mei's hand.

After activating it, the two appeared in the underworld, which had two bright moons and an environment almost identical to the quarry in the surface world, but was dark and eerie.

On the cliff of the quarry in front of them lay countless Black Corruption Dragons, which resembled pterodactyls with curved bull horns and whose bodies emitted an unsettling red glow.

The moment they noticed the two appear, their scarlet eyes snapped open and all turned to look at them.

Upon entering the inner world for the second time, Lin Jiu was still somewhat stunned by the scene before her.

A finger gently poked her head, and Liu Mei gave her a cold, frowning look.

"What are you spacing out for?"

"oh oh."

Lin Jiu quickly took a deep breath, and as he focused his mind and activated his power, the black crown that had bound the two of them together three days ago reappeared above their heads.

A black curtain that swallowed all light enveloped the two of them, then faded away as tiny particles.

As the two merged, their forms became ethereal and indistinct, and a figure formed from a large expanse of black mist appeared.

Liu Mei's black stockings, high heels, and black pencil skirt gently fell to the ground.

After glancing at her body, which, apart from her chest and head, was entirely formed from nightmare black mist after merging with Lin Jiu, Liu Mei's narrow eyes indifferently looked at the alien demons on the cliff.
