The Witch's Imaginary Land: Redemption Comes After Sticking Together

Li Hui didn't answer, and Jiang Kehan ​​didn't need her answer either. The two silently put their hands down and walked towards the academy.

Chapter 140 The Scheduled Conversation

Over the weekend, Jiang Kehan, who had been helping Ai Lier with her affairs for several days, unusually slept in.

She lazily wrapped herself in a soft slime blanket, looking like a cat having its tail combed.

She crafted this quilt herself, using a recipe from the Alchemist's Laws, which received strong recommendations from the author, Clara.

But it is indeed very comfortable. This quilt is not only very soft and lightweight, but it can also be self-washing. Most importantly, it does more than just keep you warm!

The automatic temperature regulation from the slime keeps the blanket at the most comfortable temperature at all times, it's practically a succubus in your blanket!

However, during the refining process, Jiang Kehan ​​learned a little bit of knowledge that was somewhat unexpected.

Slimes are actually an all-female race, not only physiologically but also psychologically.

So, are all slimes female?

Jiang Kehan ​​was amused by her own whimsical idea and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"I studied with Qingxue yesterday, so I shouldn't have anything to do today. I can sleep in without any problem."

"I am so happy."

Jiang Kehan ​​squinted, intending to slack off for a day.

But at that moment, the terminal beeped, alerting Jiang Kehan ​​that someone was looking for her.

Curious, she opened the terminal, wondering who was contacting her at this time.

Witches' weekends are relatively private days. Even though they are paid daily, they are used to reserving one day a week for themselves to rest, which is usually the weekend.

If a witch wants to hang out with someone on the weekend, she will make a reservation about two days in advance; this is an unspoken rule among witches.

Jiang Kehan ​​was certain that no one had asked her out this week.

Upon opening the message, she found it was a notification from the Witch's Organization, informing her of the reward for completing Solita's request: the Great Witch had time to meet her today and inquired if she had the time.

"Of course!" Jiang Kehan ​​jumped out of bed and hurriedly replied before tidying up her clothes.

She's no longer the little girl who was reluctant to buy clothes when she first arrived; she's actually starting to agonize over what to wear.

After all, she was going to meet a great witch, a living, breathing great witch!

In other races, the equivalent of a great witch is a god, and this great witch is no ordinary one.

Shan Lin is the genuine Great Witch of the Kongdu Dahua Empire. She possesses over 209 patents in magic and alchemy, each of which is comparable in value to Jiang Kehan's self-reading potion.

Moreover, these are not like Jiang Kehan's "Moon Ripple - First Launch Miracle" which is entirely due to her magical properties. Each one can be replicated to provide help and guidance to other witches.

The opponent's legend has been passed down through dozens of worlds, and their strength is enough to destroy the universe.

Jiang Kehan ​​ultimately chose a simple shirt and jeans, and then draped a trench coat over them.

There's no need to dress too extravagantly when meeting the Great Witch. She's seen plenty of witches, and dressing too jarringly might have a negative effect.

After changing her clothes, Jiang Kehan ​​flew towards the location given by the witch's organization.

……

……

Shanlin's location is near Worry-Free Sky Island, but it's more like a majestic mountain range than a habitable home or castle.

Jiang Kehan ​​flew in directly as instructed, without any hindrance, which surprised her.

She could sense that the reason they allowed her entry wasn't because she had made a prior appointment, but simply because there was no barrier set up at all.

It felt more like a public space than the private territory of a great witch.

When she flew to the top of the mountain, Shanlin was sitting on the grass, playing with a small blue cat.

Jiang Kehan ​​slowly landed and tentatively spoke to the other party.

"Excuse me, are you Ms. Shan Lin? I'm Jiang Kehan, who made an appointment to meet you." She looked at the other person, somewhat unable to believe that this was the great witch Shan Lin.

The other person seemed very friendly. Her eyes were a beautiful emerald green. She was wearing some kind of light gauze material with long sleeves and a snow-white lining. The cat in her arms was looking at Jiang Kehan ​​with curiosity.

Jiang Kehan ​​originally thought she would be in a solemn hall, or at the very least, a mysterious and deep room, but she really didn't expect to be communicating with the other party under such circumstances.

Shan Lin, on the other hand, was quite at ease. She smiled and stretched, appearing rather casual.

"I am Shanlin, a witch who feels she is somewhat capable."

After she finished speaking, she playfully stuck out her tongue, making her look like a teenage girl.

Jiang Kehan's mind went blank. The other person's appearance shattered all her fantasies about the great witch, but she still managed to calm down.

She hadn't forgotten to prepare the questions she wanted to ask the other party beforehand.

"Don't be nervous, I still admire you, Kehan." Seeing that Jiang Kehan ​​was a little lost in thought, Shanlin slowly stood up while holding the cat ball, and with a wave of her hand, a garden appeared beside the two of them.

It was almost like a random smear on a painting, but Jiang Kehan ​​subconsciously swallowed, she could tell that the other party had replaced the space.

“I have already looked into what happened in that tiny shattered space, and it’s a pleasure to meet a rather special witch like you.”

Shanlin hummed softly, fiddling with the suddenly appearing table and chairs and the tea and snacks on them, and asked with a smile.

"Would you like something to drink? I don't want my guests to feel neglected."

Jiang Kehan ​​seemed a little dazed, and only spoke after nodding weakly.

"Simple tea will do."

She was genuinely curious about how the other person had seen her actions, so she tentatively asked.

"But how did you know what I did?"

Shan Lin covered her mouth, squinted her eyes, and said, feigning annoyance.

"How could I have revealed this? But since I've already said it, the Witch Organization can't do anything to me."

It was obvious she was doing it on purpose, Jiang Kehan's lips twitched.

Shan Lin continued, "Any normal Great Witch can manipulate the timeline of a shattered space; the main difference lies in the type and size of the shattered space."

"And I happen to have the ability to see how much effort you've put in."

"So, don't treat me like a stranger, how about treating me like your little fan?"

The kitten in her arms meowed, as if to say, "Meow too!"

Ah, Jiang Kehan ​​was a little at a loss. The other party's thought process was quite novel, and she was probably the most unconventional witch she had ever met.

If I had to describe it, it would be that they are no longer bound by rules and regulations, and have a kind of unbridled confidence and curiosity.

Is this the real Great Witch?

Jiang Kehan ​​suddenly realized why the other party's sky island didn't have a barrier set up; the other party was a great witch, and that alone was enough to make the place safe.

Chapter 141 A Beautiful Imaginary Land

After Shanlin finished speaking, she casually took out an exquisite crystal pot. The spout looked like the source of a clear spring, with water constantly bubbling inside, but unable to come out.

Seeing Jiang Kehan ​​looking at the crystal teapot in her hand with some curiosity, Shan Lin poured her a cup of water, added a few green tea leaves, and handed it to her.

"This is a rare item. The water inside can activate the maximum effect of tea leaves and other items, making it very suitable for brewing tea."

Jiang Kehan ​​took the cup and looked at the tea inside, which resembled willow leaves. Although she knew it would be expensive, she couldn't help but ask.

After all, something worth soaking in rare materials must have its own unique characteristics.

"And what kind of tea is in there?"

"This isn't anything particularly expensive, but it tastes good. If I had to say what its effects are, would it count as being able to reverse aging?"

Shanlin tilted her head, put her finger to her lower lip, and asked, feigning some confusion.

"Wow, rejuvenation..." Jiang Kehan ​​was initially surprised, but then she immediately thought of the witch's virtually infinite lifespan and realized that the effect was indeed mediocre.

Perhaps this tea has a better market among alien races, but ambitious aliens will seize the opportunity to become witches, so its value is not great.

So Jiang Kehan ​​took a sip with a clear conscience, as if she were strolling in a fairy tale spring, and for a moment she seemed to see a phantom.

The magic began to calm down, and Jiang Kehan ​​subconsciously channeled a little magic into her fingertip, then froze.

I take back what I just said. This tea can enhance a witch's control over magic, and it's definitely not something Jiang Kehan ​​can afford to dream of right now!

Miss Shanlin, you're being a bit dishonest... Jiang Kehan ​​looked at the other person with a hint of resentment, yet she was reluctant to let go.

Her biggest weakness right now is that her control over magic power can't keep up with the rate of increase, which makes her spells a bit weak.

For example, a normal level 3 spell used by a witch has a power of 150%, but her spell power can only barely reach the standard of 100%.

"Heh, don't mind it, this is a little gift I prepared for you, just drink it."

Shan Lin smiled as she looked at Jiang Kehan, who seemed a little reluctant to leave. Jiang Kehan ​​was like a kitten licking its mother's breast, stunned after only taking a small sip, which was rather adorable.

Jiang Kehan ​​finally felt relieved, held the cup with both hands, and took small sips.

She wanted to experience the sensations that tea leaves evoked; if she could grasp these sensations, she might be able to train her control over magic through imitation.

But she didn't forget her main purpose. She looked at Shanlin with a serious expression and said her main goal.

"Miss Shanlin, actually, I came to you mainly with a few questions."

"Mmm." Shanlin and the cat in her arms both nodded their heads, like students being lectured.

Jiang Kehan's serious expression immediately deflated like a punctured balloon, and she could no longer hold back.

"The first question is, what exactly is this world, or rather, the world of witches, like?"

Jiang Kehan's tone softened; she really couldn't be serious in the face of the other party's attitude.

But the question still needed to be asked. After learning that Li Hui wanted to go to Gensokyo and talking to him about the future, she had been keeping this question in mind.

Is the difference between the imaginary world, the ideal world, and the fantasy world really that big? And what can I do in this world?

The answer to this question on the terminal was vague, leaving the witch to figure it out for herself.

Jiang Kehan ​​is not the kind of person who sits and waits for death; this time, she wants to take the lead in grasping the future.

"Ah, so that's the question. I thought you were going to ask me how old I am."

Shanlin pretended to realize something, but her expression gradually became serious. She slowly stroked Miaoqiu's head, her gaze filled with nostalgia.

"According to your understanding, the Imaginary Land is essentially an adult fairy tale and kindergarten deliberately maintained by a witch."
