Miss Witch's Forbidden Book Secret

Tia had never thought about this before, and after a moment of lapse, she said, "It seems unnecessary..."

As everyone knows, pretty girls don't poop.

This must be some kind of extraordinary ritual; it's amazing.

Vera continued, "Since you don't need to excrete waste and won't die, wouldn't you be able to live forever if you stayed in the iris flower?"

“That’s impossible. The physical body still consumes energy, so I’ve always entrusted others to help me nurture my body.”

"You have accomplices?"

"......"

Tia glanced at the red-haired girl.

Vera immediately shook her head frantically, tossing her ponytail, and surrendered, saying, "I won't ask anymore!"

Tia lowered her voice slightly, sounding somewhat frightened, and said:

"That's the situation. If we were to project our souls back directly... it would be a bit dangerous."

That's more than just dangerous.

The Passion is a very useful ritual.

It can directly grant Tia immunity to negative emotions and feelings such as pain and despair, making her a formidable asset in battle. During combat, the surge of adrenaline allows her to fight to the death despite severe injuries.

However, once outside the combat environment, the “path of suffering” becomes difficult to assess.

Tia would call herself a pure masochist.

Last time, she hadn't returned for a month, and rashly projected her soul back. Starving, the path of suffering transformed all her pain into pleasure, so much so that—the first thing she did after eating was change her clothes and wash the sheets...

Even when changing clothes, her body felt so weak it was like it had melted; the slightest touch would elicit a strong reaction, and she didn't recover from the aftereffects of the ordeal for an entire day. This sensitivity was simply mentally devastating.

However, this time, she had already asked Anne to regularly deliver food to the North Harbor area.

He also arranged for two elves, Brenna and Freya, to feed him.

I'll have Freya check it again later; it shouldn't be a big problem.

Thinking this, Tia slapped away Vera's restless little hands that were wrapped around her waist and said, "Let's stop here for now. If I don't come back within half a month, I'll apply the oil again."

"I'll be preparing for the ceremony and heading back to Ansu later."

..............

..............

At this very moment, at 405 Baixiang Street, Beigang District, in the bedroom.

Freya came to the kitchen as usual.

Tia's physical body was in a meditative state, so she couldn't eat normal food. Therefore, Freya prepared liquid food according to Tia's instructions.

"Ah! The chef's here!"

Immediately, the naive elf happily picked up a moldy apple, bread so dry it was impossible to chew, tap water that had been sitting in the earthenware pot for who knows how many days, and an astonishing amount of salt and pepper, and threw them all into the pot to boil.

Any normal person knows that these things are inedible!

The problem is, none of the spirit beings are human!

Even if it's a transformation of a spirit!

This was purely Tia's mistake; Brenna and Freya's overly human appearance severely hampered Tia's judgment of them using common human sense.

If "pseudo-human" at least has "human" as a suffix, then "spirit" as a suffix for "transformed spirit" already reveals some problems.

In her eyes, there was little difference between a rotten apple and a perfectly good one, and the difference between tap water teeming with small creatures and purified water was only slightly more nutritious.

Not a big difference!

Freya brought the pot of yellowish-brown paste, which had a hint of green floating on top, to a boil, then spooned it into Tia's mouth. Freya patted her apron with satisfaction.

Chapter 266 Excessive Indulgence, Sulph

—Knock knock knock!

Evelyn had barely placed her hand on the door and knocked a few times when she immediately slapped her forehead and looked for her keys to open the door.

She was so busy that she forgot Miss Sulph had been bedridden for over two months due to illness...

But at this very moment—

Suddenly, a piercing wail rang out from inside!

Evelyn gasped and quickly called out, "Miss Sulph, are you alright?! I have a first-aid kit here, please wait a moment, I'll be right in!"

The head maid immediately picked up the key ring and inserted it into the lock. The wailing grew softer and softer, turning into a sobbing sound, and becoming increasingly strange.

If at first the cat got a hard tap on the butt with a stick, then now—

Uh... did that cat suddenly stick its butt out and start moaning in heat?

Evelyn paused for a moment as she turned the key, then clicked the door open.

The house is small and has no entryway; the living room is right inside the door.

Beside the large wooden table that served as a dining table, a girl wearing only a thin camisole nightgown was holding onto the corner of the table. Her once smooth and black hair was now soaked with sweat and clung to her flushed face. Tia was glaring fiercely at Freya, who was trembling and kneeling in front of her, almost gritting her teeth.

A line of water stains spread from under the table into the bedroom, subtly echoing her wet clothes, beads of sweat on her forehead, and unusually flushed face.

"Freya! Look what you've done—Evelyn?!"

"I will never dare to be a demon again..."

"Shut up—Evelyn, are you here to deliver something?"

"Waaaaa o(╥﹏╥)o"

Evelyn didn't dare to speak. After gathering her composure for a while, she finally spoke, "The young lady asked me to bring you some food... You, uh, are you feeling alright?"

The afterglow of the Passion hadn't faded, and Tia was in an unusually high state of mind, so she didn't notice the strangeness in Evelyn's voice.

She said angrily, "My health is fine! But this guy—"

"Excuse me, may this lady be...?"

Evelyn was completely bewildered from the moment she entered, as the scene was simply too bizarre.

The disheveled Sulph, the strange girl kneeling on the ground, the eerie atmosphere as if after a great battle, and the bizarre water stains on the ground.

Her gaze couldn't help but drift downwards towards Tia.

After all, it's hard not to think the wrong way...

Even if Tia were to witness this, she would still misunderstand; after all, it's human nature.

Tia said irritably, "This is my maid."

"Uh, so what is it now?"

Evelyn's mind went blank, and she started thinking about bad things.

After all, the identity of a maid is quite ambiguous. Unlike her hired maids, nobles often sent their illegitimate children to serve as servants for other noble children, and these servants, especially maids, often had some special characteristics.

"She's been fired now!"

"Ugh—I'll pay attention next time. I'll definitely be able to recognize those deep green fruits with a moist sheen and scattered white spots, those tenacious fruits with lots of small cracks, like the skin of a leper, dry and almost dead dough!"

"Freya, there won't be a next time! I'm never hiring you as my maid again! You're not a chef at all, go back to where you came from!"

"Waaaaa o(╥﹏╥)o"

Hearing this tone, Evelyn breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems it's not what she was thinking.

.....................

Evelyn waited briefly in the living room.

Tia asked Freya to bring her a change of clothes—luckily, Freya could still recognize what clothes were, and didn't bring her any strange little gadgets.

After changing her clothes, Tia went to the living room.

Evelyn placed a basket filled with a week's worth of food on the table and asked with concern, "Are you really not in a good condition and don't you need any medication? I have some here, and there's also some medicine for food poisoning in the carriage downstairs..."

"It's just a minor issue."

Tia rubbed her stomach and politely declined Evelyn's offer.

Freya's terrible cooking skills weren't very lethal, but the pain accumulated over time, coupled with the physical weakness caused by those awful cooking skills, resulted in an excessive amount of pleasurable sensations.

In an instant, it was like a dam bursting, like a flood overflowing its banks, sending Tia's consciousness soaring into the sky.

As for the illness itself, it is enough to cure it by consuming a little holy light in the blood, and it is not a cause for concern.

“It’s great that you’re alright.” Evelyn also calmed down and said, “Since you’re in good health lately, could you please go see Miss Anne? She hasn’t been feeling well lately.”

"Oh? Annie? Of course. But what's wrong with you being in a bad mood?"

"I think it's probably because of her friends at the Iris Club."

"Huh?"

Tia didn't expect the topic to turn back to irises.

Evelyn truthfully stated, "Miss Anne is worried about the safety of her friends because the Iris Flower Garden has been in such a mess lately."

Tia said, "It is indeed quite chaotic, but there shouldn't be any major safety issues, right?"

Upon hearing Tia's words, Evelyn's expression immediately turned serious:

“I used to be like that too. But the rebels actually stormed Fontaine Palace, and their warships blew up the harbor. This kind of civil war is extremely dangerous!”

"and many more......"

Tia paused for a moment, then suddenly looked at Evelyn and said, "Rebels? Attacking Fontaine Palace? The port has been bombed to the ground?"

Her mind went completely blank for a moment.

What's going on here?

I didn't receive any notification!

..................

..................

It was evening.

The carriage slowly came to a stop outside the Earl's mansion in the Grand Harbour area.

Evelyn got out of the car and went to inform the guard at the gate, then went to find Anne.

Anne was flipping through a book in the study, but she was so distracted that she couldn't concentrate. She threw the book heavily on the table and rested her chin on her hands, about to drift off into a daze.

But then Evelyn came in from the corridor.

"Sister Evelyn, you're back from Tia's?"

“Yes, Miss.” Evelyn rushed into the study and said, “Miss Sulph has recovered.”

The head maid paused slightly as she said this.

She originally intended to tell the whole story.

But what Evelyn saw and heard upon arriving at Tia's house was rather... well, not very ladylike. Evelyn silently swallowed her words.

"Tia is awake!"

Anne immediately perked up and quickly asked, "Did you invite her to my house for dinner?"

“I have done as you told me before, and invited Miss Sulph to the mansion as soon as she wakes up.”

Evelyn then added, "But Miss Sulph refused."

"Eh—why?!"

"Miss Sulph is feeling somewhat weak."

Anne froze, and a surge of worry welled up inside her.

Adding to this the previous worries of friends about irises, all of these concerns now piled up together.
