Seeing Isa close her eyes and offer her face to him, Su Ran clearly couldn't guess what she was thinking.
"No need to go back to your room, you can stay here," Su Ran said.
This is fine!
As soon as Su Ran finished speaking, Isa felt Su Ran's hand brush past her hair and the air flow past her head.
How domineering! Your Highness actually wants to force me to do this? Should I cooperate?
Isa's inner world was filled with countless little dramas, and her heart was beating faster and faster as a result.
However, after she felt Prince Su Ran's hand brush past her, she did not feel any further movement.
She peeked through a crack, wanting to see what His Highness was doing down there.
All that was seen was that His Highness was holding the roots of a withered tree, which she had frozen, and what Isa valued and looked forward to most was her lower body.
Gone!
Chapter 427 The Decision of the Witches
When Isha reopened her eyes, her cheeks were flushed and her face was burning hot, looking like a kettle of boiling water that had suddenly come to a boil.
Isa knew in her heart that, faced with Prince Su Ran's unintentional actions, this was the only way she could express her opinion.
"Is Is Isha feeling unwell? Did she get injured after coming out of the castle space?"
"No...no, Your Highness!"
Su Ran wasn't too aware of her ambiguous actions. After all, seeing the remaining roots in Isa's hair, she was worried that Isa might be invaded by the dead tree like Cod.
Therefore, Su Ran did not notice Isa's strange behavior at this time.
Now she noticed that Isaac's cheeks were steaming, so she immediately brushed aside the flaxen hairs in Isaac's bangs with her cool little hands and placed them on Isaac's forehead to carefully feel Isaac's body temperature.
Considering Isha's strange appearance, Su Ran still felt it was necessary to check her over carefully.
"There's no fever. It seems I need to use magic essence to circulate through my body to sense the true condition."
As soon as Su Ran finished speaking, she immediately moved her hand away. Before Isha could even catch her breath, what happened next dealt her a severe blow.
She removed her hand, lifted the hair from her forehead, and pressed her smooth forehead directly against Isabella's forehead.
Given the constant possibility of being seen by the witch at the witch's manor, she chose the most direct and effective method of magic essence input.
Then, Isa felt a cool, magical energy flow through her forehead skin, under Su Ran's control, into her body, giving her a thorough examination from top to bottom.
The subtlety of the magic flow meant that it could see right through Isha from head to toe.
Your Highness's magic has entered, but isn't Your Highness a little too close?
The cool sensation gave Isabella a unique sense of security, but when she opened her eyes, Prince Su Ran's nose was close to hers, and her breath mingled with his.
Even the cool magic essence from Su Ran himself couldn't suppress the scalding heat that continued to emanate from Isa.
For some inexplicable reason, Isabella felt a fatal attraction to His Highness's full, pink lips, which made her unable to resist moving closer to them.
The closer she got to Isabella, the more her heart pounded. She dared not open her eyes to look at Su Ran, afraid that her gaze and small movements would alert His Highness to her ulterior motives.
"That's not right. I didn't sense any residual foreign species. Is it really true that Isha doesn't feel any discomfort?"
Just as Isabella was about to reach her pink lips, Su Ran, who had just finished examining her, opened her eyes, leaving Isabella frozen in place, unable to move forward or backward.
Su Ran, who was focused on Isabella's physical condition, did not notice that the distance between her pink lips and Isabella's had shortened considerably compared to before.
In her view, the two of them were already close enough that some uncontrollable collisions were inevitable.
More than that, she was worried about the health of Isha and the others.
"No, it's alright. None of us were injured inside the castle."
Although she missed the best opportunity to have intimate contact with His Highness's pink lips, Isa felt a little empty inside, but she still answered Su Ran's questions truthfully, after all, this was His Highness Su Ran's way of showing her concern.
"In that case, remember to speak up if you feel uncomfortable; there's no need to hold it in."
Su Ran took Isa's hand and led her into the manor.
"Let's go find Lacey. We've had quite a haul this time, and we have to thank Helena for it."
While searching for Lacey, Su Ran briefly recounted her experience of entering the divine realm and bringing Yuffie out to Isa.
"Your Highness, do you mean that Euphemia is actually an unawakened witch?"
Upon hearing from Prince Su Ran that Yuffie was a witch, Isa felt as if fate had played a cruel joke on her. Yuffie was a saintess of the church, yet she was actually an unawakened witch.
Chapter 390
That's incredible!
Su Ran nodded and said, "Theoretically, that's right. She already has witch abilities, but she just can't use them on her own."
Su Ran didn't plan to tell too many people about Yuffie. The idea that a saintess was also a witch, and that such a conflicting concept would cause a girl with unwavering faith to face too much criticism.
For now, tell the members of the Witch Society about this. As for the little witches below, it's better to keep it from them.
Lacey's location wasn't hard to find. Having just returned to the Witch's Manor, they were all resting in the hall. Mai Mai, for example, was practically sinking into the soft sofa and couldn't get out.
Compared to MaiMai, Diana and Lacey were much more elegant. Both of them had changed into loose-fitting clothes. Diana had a cup of warm black tea in front of her, while Lacey was browsing through the records in the book. She still remembered that Lord Su Ran had given her a set of ancient characters that she had not yet been able to decipher.
However, when Su Ran led Isa into the hall, they all stood up to greet Su Ran.
Not only Lacey and the others who were resting, but also Philie, who had put Euphemia in her room to rest, and Melie, who was free, were all summoned here by Su Ran.
Su Ran naturally had her own reasons for gathering so many people together.
She first explained why Helena had mistakenly entered the divine realm, and then explained what she had gained there and Euphemia's special abilities.
As for news about the Autumn Witch and some sealing matters, they don't need to worry about those.
After all, the power displayed by Qiu in its incomplete form is far stronger than that of Sequence Six. Knowing too much about it will only cause more trouble.
Even though Su Ran had simplified things, when they learned the bombshell news that Yuffie was a witch, their expressions of shock and surprise were no better than Isa's.
"So, does that mean Euphemia is actually our partner?"
Mai Mai looked as if she had seen a ghost. She still hadn't forgotten that it was Yu Fei's arrival that forced Fei Li to cover their retreat and get captured. Until Su Ran nodded, she was lost in thought, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Lord Su Ran, is this some kind of new joke?"
Diana was relatively rational, but when she saw that Su Ran remained silent and did not respond, she realized that what she said was true.
"Lord Su Ran brought this up because he wanted to know how we decided to treat Yuffie. Actually, this matter is quite easy to resolve."
At this crucial moment, Isa spoke up.
"We should treat Euphemia the same way as before. Although she is not a fully awakened witch, she was a saint of the church before. We can worry about this issue when she can figure things out."
Chapter 428 Three Conditions
The others did not object to Isa's suggestion. After all, Euphemia was not yet a witch, and she was not aware of her own situation. Suddenly telling her the truth would easily overwhelm her.
It would be better to wait for Euphemia to slowly uncover the truth hidden behind it, allowing her to gain a deeper understanding of herself and her identity.
“I have a question.” Felicity raised her hand and asked directly, “If Euphemia wants to go back to the church, how should we respond to her? The potion given by Lady Su Ran should lose its effect when it reaches Laris.”
They are currently on their way to the Principality of Purple Leaf, with their final destination being the town of Laris. If Euphemia does not awaken as a witch along the way, and even suggests returning to the church, how should they deal with her?
Should we stop her from going back, or let her leave?
"If she decides to leave, tell her the truth and let her make the best choice for herself after she knows the truth. Give her the right to choose."
The speaker was Lacey. She had been silent earlier, mainly digesting the major news about Euphemia that Su Ran had brought back.
In fact, if Yuffie, who has recovered her sequence level, is determined to leave, even if they take forceful action, they may not be able to restrain her for too long. It would be better to give the choice to Yuffie and let her make her own decision.
The Witch Society was originally created to provide witches with a safe haven, but even after learning the whole truth, Euphemia still wanted to leave.
Then not only Lacey, but all witches will respect her choice.
No one raised any objections, because what Lacey said was a principle that the Witch Society had always adhered to.
At this point, Euphemia and the other witches all had a general idea of how to handle the situation, and there was no need to worry about any special circumstances arising.
"Lord Su Ran, you've gathered us all here, surely not just for Yuffie's sake?"
Mai Mai shifted her body and leaned forward. After all, if it was just about Euphemia, she could simply discuss it with Lacey, since Lacey largely represented the attitude of most of the witches in the Witch Society.
Although Mai Mai is reluctant to use her brain, it doesn't mean she can't think of anything. With her keen mind, she can always see some details that others don't know about.
“MaiMai is right. Now that we’ve dealt with Yuffie’s matter, there’s still some left for Lacey to take care of.”
As Su Ran mentioned before, the leader of the Witch Society has always been Lacey. She doesn't interfere with their decisions, at most she just offers suggestions.
Isha has already sufficiently represented her attitude and thoughts here, and Su Ran herself does not need to join this discussion; she sees herself as an observer.
However, Yuffie's matter is now over, and Mai Mai also keenly sensed that there was something she hadn't said.
Su Ran opened her palm and displayed the gem left by Qiu to everyone. The irregular gem attracted everyone's attention as soon as it appeared.
The golden gem in Su Ran's hand emitted a soft light, and the dazzling gold flowed slowly. If you looked closely, you could see wisps of light flowing through it.
Everyone present was a girl, and no girl disliked such a beautiful gemstone.
"This is?"
Mai Mai swallowed hard, her eyes fixed on the gem in Su Ran's hand, unwilling to blink.
"This gem contains books from a library within the Divine Kingdom, including many precious spells and some knowledge left behind. I plan to give all of these to Lacey."
Su Ran flicked her wrist, and the gem floated towards Lacey, settling quietly in front of her.
"I?"
Lacey was still processing Lord Su Ran's decision to give her the gem. In her opinion, such a precious thing should be kept by Lord Su Ran herself, since the magic book inside should contain many rare and precious contents.
"Lord Su Ran, please take these magic books. Just give us some that are suitable for us."
After realizing what was happening, Lacey instinctively declined the precious gift.
Su Ran smiled, not surprised by Lacey's reaction: "As the Book Witch, your witch abilities are related to books, and the knowledge in this library is just right for you."
To avoid putting too much pressure on Lacey, she continued, "Of course, I'm not giving you this library for free. I have a few conditions that I hope you can meet."
"Please speak, sir. I will do my best to accomplish anything I can."
If there are any requests, then things are easier to handle. As for Lacey, if Lord Su Ran didn't make any requests, she really wouldn't dare to take books from the library for nothing.
"If there is a suitable person in the society, we will share the magic recorded in the First Library with her."
"The more magic our companions possess, the better it is for us. So, what's the second condition?"
Upon hearing these conditions, Lacey considered them no conditions at all, and agreed without even thinking.
Now she couldn't wait to know what Lord Su Ran's second condition was.
"The second one isn't difficult either. Besides magic, the library also contains records of knowledge."
Chapter 391
There is some forbidden knowledge contained within this secret history; do not look at it before reaching Sequence Seven.
Some of the books Qiu left behind contain knowledge of secret history. She sealed them beforehand, so as long as they are not opened intentionally, there will be no problems.
Su Ran was mainly worried that Lacey's strong curiosity might cause her to break Qiu's seal or bypass the seal to see these secret histories, which would not benefit Lacey herself.
"Is that so? Yes, Lord Su Ran."
Although Lacey felt somewhat frustrated and empty when she heard Lord Su Ran stop her from checking the secret history, she still agreed. After all, Su Ran's actions were for her own good, and Lacey herself was not an ungrateful person.
"Then there's one last thing."
Su Ran took a deep breath. This was the most crucial requirement, and it might put pressure on Lacey, but Su Ran still hoped she could do it.
"I hope you can use these books to break through to Sequence Six in one go."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lacey suddenly paused, and she immediately understood Su Ran's thoughts.
The Book Witch's abilities are related to books, so when she obtains an entire library's collection, it means her witch abilities have a chance to improve.
Currently, I'm at Sequence 5 and can already compete with Sequence 6. If I could advance to Sequence 6, it would be a huge guarantee for the Witch Society.
After listening to Su Ran's words, Lacey solemnly replied, "I will try my best."
Chapter 429 Su Ran's Hasty Departure
When Lacey looked up again, she was surprised to find that Su Ran, who should have been standing in the same spot, had disappeared without a trace.
The other witches looked at each other in surprise. In the blink of an eye, Lady Su Ran disappeared without a trace.
