Mystery: The Witch of Desire

"To be honest, I never expected that you would choose to let me live before you died..."

"Your choice has made me understand a lot. Actually, you've always been pretty good to me... It's just that I was brought here by you, so for a long time, I haven't been able to get over this knot in my heart..."

"But after leaving your side, I realized how dangerous the outside world is. It was you who sheltered me from so many storms..."

"Perhaps, I think I can try to accept you, not as a kidnapped prisoner, but as... a friend..."

As Elaine spoke, her cheeks flushed, and she lowered her head somewhat embarrassed.

Tracy listened in astonishment, then suddenly realized that her eyes were getting wet.

Elaine's words touched the softest part of her heart, causing the pirate general, who had been adrift at sea for many years, to momentarily lose control of her emotions.

"Fool, what a fool..."

Livre lay happily in the captain's cabin of the Treasure Ship, examining her spoils:

Successfully advanced to Sequence 5 of the Granting Path.

They also obtained the recipe and all the materials needed to advance to Sequence 4, the Witch of Despair...

They also got Tracy's diamond bracelet, and about ten diamonds, enough to withstand ten fatal blows!

Compared to these gains, the 'gatekeeper's' soul is nothing at all.

"I'm so tired of winning."

Livre could only think of three words to describe her current state.

In addition, Elaine was also dealt with... Livre wasn't too surprised that she chose to stay with Tracy, after all, she had discovered during the interrogation of Elaine that Tracy and Elaine's relationship wasn't as bad as she had imagined.

Tracy is a romantic, and Elaine has a bit of that inclination too; the two of them would make a good friend.

"The witch died because of friendship... Hahaha, be glad, Tracy, if it weren't for my connection with your mother, you would have already become an extraordinary ability!"

Just as Livre was laughing out loud with delight, a soft, sweet voice rang out behind her:

"I'm also very fortunate to have some connection with you."

Livre jumped up from the recliner and looked behind her in horror. There she saw Katarina in a white dress, who had appeared there at some point and was looking at her with gentle, tender eyes.

Should I consider smashing all the mirrors in my bedroom...? No, I still need them myself... Sigh, high-sequence individuals with the same pathway are such a hassle. No wonder they say fellow practitioners are benefactors...

While inwardly cursing, Livre was also glad that she hadn't killed Tracy; otherwise, Katarina probably wouldn't be speaking to her so gently now.

However, she dared not be careless, since she had no hostages at the moment, and she was not naive enough to think that Katarina would not attack her based on their past relationship. After all, a high-sequence witch had far too many people she had connections with.

"Madam, is there anything I can help you with?"

Livre composed herself and asked cautiously.

"I'm here to express my gratitude to you for giving my child such a good education."

Katarina's eyes shone with a gentle smile, almost overflowing like spring water. Livre could sense that her gratitude was heartfelt.

"Because of you, she absorbed all the pain potion."

Katarina added with a smile, which sent a shiver down Livre's spine:

Has Tracy already digested the potion of pain?

Indeed, after all, she was first a mother and then a mistress... it must have been quite a painful situation for her.

No wonder she carried a full set of promotion documents; she was ready to be promoted at any time...

Livr sighed deeply, guessing Katarina's purpose in coming.

She came to get those documents back for her child.

Fortunately, I've already memorized the potion recipe. As for the materials, so be it. I've already gained enough this time. Staying alive is the most important thing.

Livre proactively took out the materials and diamond bracelet that she had taken from Tracy and handed them to Katarina:

“I didn’t mean to cause Tracy pain, it’s just… well, how should I put it, it all feels like a cruel joke of fate…”

Katarina glanced at the item Livia handed her and gave a meaningful smile:

"These materials were originally prepared for you."

what! ?

Liviel was startled: What do you mean by "prepared for me"? Could it be that Tracy's appearance on Shorttail Island was arranged by Katarina?

Before she could even react, Katarina had already taken the diamond bracelet from her hand and said with a smile:

"However, I can accept this bracelet as a gift from you. Thank you, you always make me feel so gentle..."

Katarina's words soothed Liviel's heart like water, leaving even the fallen tree spirit feeling overwhelmed.

No, even though I'm a dual-path Sequence 5 now, I can't resist her charm at all...

Livre struggled to catch her breath, took a step back, and politely signaled for him to leave:

"Madam, is there anything else?"

"Are you in such a hurry to send me away?" Katarina chided playfully, like a young girl, but without a trace of affectation. "We've finally met again; don't you want our friendship to deepen?"

Livre swallowed hard and said in an extremely rational tone:

"Now that Tracy has finished digesting the Pain Potion and I have finished digesting the Pleasure Potion, there shouldn't be any need for this, right?"

“How heartless…” Katarina shook her head regretfully. “Can’t we just sit down like friends and have a proper conversation without any ulterior motives?”

Sister, being friends with you is really tiring... Besides, I just finished talking about serious business with your daughter, how can I have the mind to deal with you now?

She hesitated for a moment, then carefully said:

"Madam, I'm very tired today. Let's talk about work another day."

Upon hearing this, Katarina revealed a sly smile:

"Since you can be considered a member of the Witch Cult, then I can be considered your superior."

"How can you not complete the work your boss assigned you?"

Chapter 208 Reporting to Your Boss

Help! My boss is exploiting me!

Livre sighed helplessly, a resolute glint flashing in her eyes.

As an unofficial employee (if you can call me one) of the Witch Cult, when faced with my superior's demands, I should do it properly.

Although she had had extensive discussions with Tracy about work, Katrina, as Tracy's mother, had more years of experience and unique insights in many areas.

Based on the principles of mutual exchange and common progress, Livre and Katerina held a friendly consultation meeting.

The two engaged in in-depth discussions on matters related to the Witch Cult, including the digestion of pleasure potions, appropriate role-playing, and efficient use of props. Both gained valuable insights.

Katarina stated that Livre, as a rising star among witches, has many ingenious ideas and innovative approaches in her work, which are worth learning from.

Livre also praised Katarina's rich experience and skillful business ability, saying that experience is indeed valuable and that Katarina's business ability is much stronger than Tracy's.

Katerina even suggested that she could bring Tracy along for the discussion next time, as "three people walking together can teach me something," which would surely lead to more new ideas and good suggestions.

But Livre was very cautious about this, and politely suggested that they talk about it another time.

Finally, after finishing her work-related matters, Katarina stepped into the Mirror World and left the Treasure Ship.

Livre breathed a long sigh of relief, finally completely free from the tedious work.

However, looking at the complete set of Despair Potion ingredients in her hand, she felt quite gratified.

Regardless of what Chick or Katarina's ultimate goal is, getting the reward they can get first is never a bad thing...

At this moment, Little White popped out from the side, looking at him with admiration, and said:

"Livia, I simply, how should I put it, I admire you so much... You are truly a very qualified witch..."

I'll take that as a compliment.

Livre simply smiled slightly, then her face hardened:

"You're already at Sequence 7, so why are you completely useless in battle?"

"Uh... I've only just been promoted, and I'm not yet proficient in many of my abilities..." Xiao Bai stuck out its tongue a little embarrassedly, "Besides, you've been using me for other purposes all this time, and I've completely forgotten that I also have combat abilities..."

Liviel rolled her eyes at it helplessly. Just then, Arodes, which had been silent for a long time, began to vibrate and jumped onto the table, where several lines of text appeared:

“Beautiful lady, it’s time to keep our promise. Don’t forget, you still owe me two questions.”

After a moment's thought, Livre smiled slightly:

"Okay, go ahead and ask."

Arodes grinned mischievously, and the enigmatic text continued to appear:

"My first question is, where is the Great Ruler above the Spirit Realm now?"

Sure enough, these were questions I couldn't answer...

However, this time was different from before. Arodes did say that I possessed the aura of a great ruler of the spirit world, if that referred to Klein or the Gray Mist...

Adhering to the principle that it's better to answer incorrectly than not to answer at all, Livre said in a deep voice:

"Backlund".

“Wrong answer!” Arodes trembled with excitement. “My punishment is to use the diameter…”

"Wait!" Livre shouted, stopping Arodes. "Why do you say my answer is wrong? Do you know where the Great Ruler of the Spirit Realm is?"

Liviel suspected that if Arodes truly understood the great ruler of the spirit world, he wouldn't have asked her so many questions before.

Arodes is very likely bluffing! That perverted and shameful mirror!

Sure enough, Arodes was stunned and no new words appeared for a long time.

After a long while, it made a gesture of covering its mouth to cough, and continued:

"Okay, let's leave this question for now. Let's move on to the next one..."

"Wait!" Livre shouted again, pointing at Arodes. "You have broken the agreement! I answered the question correctly, yet you accused me of answering incorrectly. This is a desecration of the contract, and I will punish you!"

According to Liviel's speculation, Arodes itself does not have very strong abilities. Its ability to punish extraordinary individuals of the mid-to-high sequence actually relies on the power of the contract.

Now, the one who broke the contract is itself!

"No, you can't do this..."

Arodes's face quickly conjured words as if trying to explain, but Liviel ignored them completely, grabbing it and shooting out spider silk from her hand to tightly bind it.

"Hey, what are you doing! How dare you disrespect the great Arodes!"

Arodes desperately tried to stop Livia, but without the power of the contract, it was powerless to do anything.

"You damned mirror, you'll get what's coming to you for bullying me last time!"

Livre placed the mirror directly on the ground and sat down heavily...

……

……

Black Death.

Tracy was lying comfortably on the chaise lounge in her bedroom, savoring what had just happened, a faint smile playing on her lips.

She considered Elaine's return a blessing from heaven, a feeling she had felt especially strongly when Elaine was reading a romance novel to her.

Hearing the rushing water in the bathroom and confirming that Elaine was there, Tracy felt extremely satisfied.

At that moment, the mirror beside them rippled, and a tall and beautiful figure walked out.

"Mother……"

Tracy stood up to greet him, her initial joy turning into a complex mix of emotions.

I still failed to avenge myself, and survived only thanks to the enemy's charity, yet I'm still here gloating...

Katarina smiled gently and said softly:

"You have already digested the potion of pain."

"Yes, but... that woman stole the ingredients for making the potion."

Tracy sounded very frustrated and was prepared to accept her mother's punishment.

However, Katarina did not reprimand her, but smiled gently as before:
