Chapter 751: The Uninvited Guest in Big Sis Bai’s Villa
“Is Big Sis Bai at home? Is she here? Is she here?”
Returning to the villa, I naturally called for Big Sis Bai immediately, but there was no response from inside the room.
“Looks like she’s not here, sigh...”
I let out a slight sigh, though it wasn't particularly strange.
After all, Big Sis Bai had been quite busy these past few days.
Within the Witch Academy, the Body Cultivation circles could be said to have welcomed a new spring.
The number of Transcendent Witches in the Witch Academy was large, it's just that their proportion wasn't high.
The dozens of Body Cultivation Witches who had come over with Big Sis Bai back then were naturally not all of them; those were just the Body Cultivation Witches who had some friendship with Big Sis Bai.
In the Main World, the number of Body Cultivation Witches was actually quite substantial, although... most were the type who practiced both spells and physical arts.
However, these witches found it hard to refuse a brand-new line of thought for physical arts creation, as well as the pioneering Witchified Body Cultivation Method.
Furthermore, such transcendent means really paired well with the Witch race.
Big Sis Bai had also been working on these things lately.
At night, Big Sis Bai and I would also chat about topics in this area.
Even Big Sis Bai was trying to apply for brand-new courses in the new semester.
Therefore, it was normal not to see Big Sis Bai in the villa during the day.
However, just as I was wondering where I might run into Big Sis Bai, the space behind me suddenly tore open a gap.
“Hmm?”
Such obvious spatial fluctuations naturally aroused my alertness.
When I saw that torn-open space, my subconscious thought was to interfere with this teleportation space.
After all, teleportation spells counted as a spatial spell I was very proficient in.
With the help of the Great Tree of Knowledge, my application of it also far exceeded the scope of what ordinary people used.
Therefore, I still had some means when it came to smoothing out a torn spatial channel.
But while I was smoothing it out, I was also wondering what exactly the situation was.
I didn't think there was any person or witch in Big Sis Bai’s villa besides me who could tear open a spatial channel and come in at will.
So this was an uninvited guest.
Big Sis Bai’s villa was a private place shared by Big Sis Bai and me, so I naturally had to defend it.
And the hand that reached out was clearly not Big Sis Bai, nor was it anyone I was very familiar with.
However, the other party’s methods were far above my teleportation spell derivation techniques.
In other words, the master of this hand was a Transcendent Witch whose life essence touched True Time and who could tear space by hand!
“Ha? Which ‘familiar-acting’ sister did Big Sis Bai get to know somewhere? How come I didn't know?”
Once I understood that all of this was irreversible, I could only let go of the actions in my hands.
The spatial channel swung wide open instantly, and then, a figure poked out a head.
Looking at the other party’s appearance... she looked a bit familiar, as if I had seen her somewhere...
“Hi Xiao Han? Long time no see.”
“You... uh... let me think, Mentor Cheryl?”
I recognized her—the witch who had suddenly approached me and struck up a conversation before I went to the Expansion Realm back then!
The one who had left on the pretext of having business after asking me a few strange questions.
“I’m glad you actually remember me. It would be even better if you were willing to call me Big Sis Cheryl.”
Cheryl said with a smile.
At this moment, half of her body had already come through.
She subconsciously looked at the environment and was somewhat surprised, “Is this the place where you live, Xiao Han?”
“No, this is the place where my Big Sis Bai lives. Does Big Sis Cheryl have some business looking for Big Sis Bai?”
I asked curiously.
“Is that so? Well... looks like I arrived somewhat presumptuously.”
But regardless, Cheryl still came through from the spatial channel.
“A bit, indeed...”
Although saying it was presumptuous, she still did it anyway, though I didn't grumble out loud.
“I’m truly sorry. I should have called out to you back in the experimental area, but I was delayed for a bit by the spatial maze over there. I had to take the liberty of following the spatial fluctuations to locate this place.”
“Spatial teleportation can even be reverse-positioned?!”
Hearing how the other party found her way here, I said in surprise.
“Of course Perhaps after you promote to Transcendent, Xiao Han, you’ll be able to see it clearly from the perspective of True Time...”
“Alright...”
I didn't explain too much; I was just a bit surprised.
After all, my Floating World level Spirit Vision could indeed see traces of teleportation as well, but currently, my research in the spatial aspect was not extensive.
Only derivations related to spatial teleportation spells existed; I couldn't yet achieve the ability to reverse-position teleportation coordinates.
This at least proved that the Witch Cheryl before me was not a simple witch who only knew how to use spellbooks, but a rigorous witch who had her own insights and research into the Transcendent.
At the very least, her research in the spatial aspect had reached a certain level of attainment.
“I’m truly sorry. Visiting so abruptly. I hope this small meeting gift can prevent you from misunderstanding too much.”
At this time, Cheryl looked apologetic and then took out an item.
“Eh? This is really not necessary... right? Hmm?”
I had originally intended to refuse, but once the words reached my lips, I discovered that the item the other party held was actually something familiar to me.
Heart of Cold Tide!
That bead that wasn't very large but emitted a cold air!
“Xiao Han, you seem to know what this is?”
Seeing my reaction, Cheryl didn't seem surprised and incidentally questioned me.
“Yes, I have one too.”
The one snatched from the hands of players at that hotel during the holiday.
“Big Sis Cheryl actually has this too?”
“Regardless, take this for now. Treat it as my apology for presumptuously coming to your door.”
Cheryl spoke while directly handing it to me, not even giving me a chance to return it.
“This...”
“Take it with peace of mind.”
“Does Big Sis Cheryl know that this is actually a fragment of [Transcendent Knowledge]?”
I inquired.
“I know So what?”
Cheryl said with total indifference.
“Is that so... then alright.”
Seeing this Big Sis Cheryl looking indifferent, I accepted it.
I would treat it as an apology for tracking me all the way into Big Sis Bai’s villa.
Moreover, the other party clearly had business looking for me; if I ultimately didn't accept the matter, it wouldn't be too late to return the item then.
Anyway, I didn't care much about this Heart of Cold Tide thing.
“Is there something so urgent that Big Sis Cheryl had to come find me?”
I inquired, taking out a container to house the Heart of Cold Tide from my storage equipment and placing it beside the Heart of Cold Tide I had obtained previously.
“Must there be business for me to come find you?”
“Um... because I still have some things to do, I might not have much spare time.”
I explained.
“Alright, actually I came because I want to understand what you are currently doing.”
Cheryl said seriously.
“What I am currently doing? What is it... picking up the food later?”
“It’s about the research into the Self-generating Magic Power physical talent you are currently conducting!”
Cheryl corrected.
She suddenly found that she seemed somewhat out of sync with the Lesser Witch before her.
Should she call the other party natural, or say the other party was doing it on purpose?
Previously, it seemed even she had been deceived by the Lesser Witch before her.
At that time, she had thought this Lesser Witch had really died.
“Oh Is Big Sis Cheryl interested in this too?”
I was somewhat surprised.
I had been doing the Self-generating Magic Power experiments for a while now, and I had invested almost all of my time during this holiday into it, yet this Mentor Cheryl had only come knocking now.
“Every witch will have some curiosity regarding Self-generating Magic Power, but every witch has nowhere to start on it.”
Cheryl gave a light laugh, not denying that she was interested in this experiment.
But I heard it in her words—she was only interested in the matter itself, but definitely not in this experiment.
She couldn't even add a single bit of progress to my experiment.
“So... what does Big Sis Cheryl want to ask?”
“Actually, I’m very curious, Xiao Han... what capital do you have to research this project?”
Cheryl asked with a smile.
“Hmm?”
“Don't quite understand?”
“Yes, I don't quite understand. If I want to research, I just go and research.”
“Alright, looks like you really don't quite understand. Then I’ll rephrase. There are many witches who research Self-generating Magic Power—at the very least, the witches I know who researched it all failed. And among them, there's no lack of powerful witches or famous scholar witches. Where do you think your advantage lies compared to them?”
“Um... speaking of which... I don't seem to have any advantage.”
I closed my eyes and pondered for a while, then finally spoke.
“Admitting it just like that?”
“Yeah.”
After all, I always believed that there would always exist beings more powerful, smarter, and with more ideas than me in this world, but why should I compare myself to such people and consume myself internally?
“So... this is really mysterious. What is the motivation supporting you to do this?”
Cheryl could sense the other party was being evasive and avoiding the questions she truly wanted to ask, but at this moment she appeared exceptionally patient.
“Curiosity, I suppose. I was curious about this, so I did it.”
“Even if it ends in failure?”
Cheryl picked up the conversation.
“Otherwise? Between success and failure, one has to be chosen eventually, right?”
I looked at Cheryl and responded with a smile.
The other party had already asked to this point; I wasn't so dense that I couldn't feel her intent.
“Then... have you considered, if you succeed, whether you feel you can bear the weight of the honor it represents?”
“If I succeed, I don't feel this is an honor. In my eyes, it is just a technique—a technique I mastered out of curiosity. Only others would feel this is an honor, but others have no right to point fingers at the techniques I master myself.”
“Hmm, quite an arrogant thought.”
Cheryl evaluated.
“So... is Big Sis Cheryl satisfied with my answer this time? Or is it that you don't care, just like last time?”
“Oh my Your tone is already starting to carry some aggressiveness. Looks like even a fragment of [Transcendent Knowledge] cannot equalize my inquiry like this?”
Cheryl asked with some curiosity.
“That ultimately isn't something belonging to me. If Big Sis Cheryl wants it back, I can even add one more as a...”
“Just joking. You seem to know the meaning this thing represents, Xiao Han.”
Cheryl’s tone softened immediately, interrupting my words.
“Um, it’s more or less related to concepts like Destiny and scripts. Anyway, I’m not interested in these.”
“Even if it represents a potential Grand Spellbook once complete?”
Cheryl inquired curiously.
“I feel that I have enough Grand Spellbooks.”
“……True.”
Cheryl revealed a trace of a helpless expression.
After all, in the entire Void, not many witches could say something like “I have enough Grand Spellbooks,” could they?
“By the way, Xiao Han, would it be convenient to ask for permission for the experimental area? I’m quite interested in that Self-generating Magic Power experimental project of yours. I am a Transcendent Witch after all, so I should be able to provide you with quite a bit of help. How about it?”
“That...”
I looked at Cheryl with a slight hesitation.
“Sorry... I still need to think of the sisters in my team. Moreover, our experiment has already entered a brand-new stage, and it wouldn't be very good to invite you midway. Furthermore, we already have several mentors acting as instructors in the laboratory.”
“Ah... rejected?”
Cheryl seemed not to have expected to be rejected.
“Is it not okay even if I promise absolutely not to cause trouble?”
“Sorry, though I don't really want to say it, the more you behave like this, the less at ease I am about letting you in...”
I refused with a slight apology, just short of directly laying my cards on the table and saying no way.
“Ah? Why? Can you tell me? Because I asked a lot of strange questions just now? Or is your impression of me not very good, Xiao Han?”
“Probably... both, I suppose. Primarily, it’s intuition. I have the Body Cultivation sixth sense, Heart Sense. Although you are a Transcendent Witch, I can still sense a trace of dissonance.”
“Heart Sense... well.”
Hearing this familiar concept, Cheryl also let out a sigh and didn't press further.
That Bai Yu was like this too... speaking of which, this seems to be Bai Yu’s villa, doesn't it?
She seemed to think of something else and spoke again, “Then... Xiao Han, as smart as you are, have you guessed what kind of witch I am?”
“Does this question... have a connection with just now?”
“Oh, I just heard a familiar concept and asked subconsciously. If you can't guess...”
“You are an Anti-Witch.”
I said without hesitation.
“Eh? So decisive! Even you guessed it. Is it that obvious? What did you base your guess on?”
Cheryl subconsciously looked at her own outfit, as if curious about exactly what the other party based it on to guess this completely unrelated answer so quickly.
“The Earth Vein Appraisal Spell of the Great Tree of Knowledge.”
I explained.
“Hmm?”
This unexpected answer also stunned Cheryl for a moment, and only then did she realize she had fallen into a cognitive trap, “Oh my honestly, as expected of a new generation Lesser Witch. You’ve looped me around to the point where I almost couldn't react.”
“Perhaps it’s just that the way of thinking about problems is a bit different?”
I spoke at the appropriate time.
After all, I felt my way of thinking was quite normal; it was about the same in both lives.
“It has to be said that for a Lesser Witch like you, once you are promoted to a Transcendent Witch in the future, you’ll be very suitable to become an Anti-Witch like me. At the very least, you can talk back to those old-fashioned witches until they can't even get a word in.”
Cheryl said with a smile, laughing as if she had foreseen that scene.
“Um... do Transcendent Witches all like to recruit people? The last one who said something similar to me was a Destiny Alchemist sister. She also told me I was very suitable to become a Destiny Alchemist.”
“Oh? A Destiny Alchemist? Interesting. So have you tried to become a Destiny Alchemist?”
“I exchanged for some foundational knowledge of Destiny Alchemy, but haven't had time to try.”
“Then I think you can go and understand the philosophy held by Anti-Witches. I think you will definitely feel that we get along.”
“If there’s time, I will go and take a look...”
I responded.
This sentence structure clearly meant I was being perfunctory.
