Ordinary Witch, Transcendent Witch, Great Witch, Sequence Witch.
Even the weakest Great Witch possesses the power to ignite an entire star system.
In this era where Sequence Witches remain silent, Great Witches are symbols of human-shaped natural disasters.
Meng Dalei’s small face was deathly pale.
“Why is there a Great Witch here? Why!”
She roared frantically.
This was a Great Witch.
Even from thousands of miles away, she could feel a pressure so immense it felt as if the heavens were collapsing.
“You…”
Su Ling stared blankly at the figure before her.
The person’s back was thin and upright, and the face—identical to Miao Miao’s—instantly jolted her awake.
This was the mother she had never met, Bai Wei.
Bai Wei ignored the witches eyeing her greedily from the surroundings.
To her, those witches were no different from ants.
She turned around and looked coldly at Su Ling.
Her crimson pupils were filled with indifference, as if Su Ling were nothing more than a stranger.
“Give her to me.”
“?”
“She has been exposed. Staying here is no different from seeking death. Give Miao Miao to me. I will protect her. It is for her own good.”
She reached out, intending to take hold of Miao Miao.
Su Ling instinctively stepped back.
“By what right?”
A flicker of anger flashed through Su Ling’s heart.
“You disappeared without a word and left behind such a massive debt. Now you suddenly show up and want to take Miao Miao away? What exactly do you take us for?”
Su Ling’s voice trembled, her eyes filled with a sense of grievance.
“I am sorry, but those words should not come from you.”
Bai Wei sighed.
But in the next moment, her expression hardened, and she pointed her tachi at Su Ling.
“Who exactly are you? Stop pretending. You aren’t my daughter at all.”
This sudden turn of events caused Su Ling to freeze.
‘Right, who am I?’
Su Ling’s eyes were also filled with confusion.
She was Su Ling, but it also felt like she wasn’t Su Ling.
Originally, she thought she was a Transmigrator, a restless soul pulled into this body by the Original Owner.
But that dream last night made her vaguely realize that the so-called transmigration might very well be a Yellow Millet Dream.
If she wasn’t Su Ling the Transmigrator, then who was she?
“She is my sister!”
At that moment, the little girl in her arms broke free.
Miao Miao yanked the coat off her head and shielded Su Ling with her small body.
Her several pairs of eerie compound eyes glared at Bai Wei with pure loathing.
“She is my sister! She is the sister I love most!”
“I don’t care who she is! All I know is that when I needed it most, she was the one who appeared and exhausted everything to protect me!”
Bai Wei looked at Miao Miao with a complicated expression.
Miao Miao stared fixedly at Bai Wei, feeling for the first time that the person before her was utterly disgusting.
“And you? You’ve been missing for one year, and the moment you return, you point your blade at her and say she isn’t your daughter?”
“Then who is the daughter you recognize? Is it that previous lunatic? That lunatic wanted to sell me! She wasn’t my sister; she was just a madwoman!”
Miao Miao’s fragile voice was filled with anger, grievance, and resentment.
Bai Wei fell silent.
She slightly adjusted her robe to cover the shocking wounds on her body.
She didn’t explain further.
She simply looked up toward the pitch-black outer space.
There, a point of light was continuously making jumps toward their location.
—
“Bureau Chief, Lady Meng Lingneng is rushing toward us.”
On the Sky Island, Yun Liuxue spoke with a look of pleasant surprise.
However, Meng Dalei’s face turned even paler.
“What is she coming here for? Get lost! Tell her to get lost!”
Meng Lingneng, a Great Witch, was her aunt.
Since childhood, her aunt was the person she feared most.
Yun Liuxue was speechless.
Meng Lingneng was the administrator of this star system.
Now that the energy fluctuations of a Great Witch had appeared on Azure Star, how could she not come as the administrator?
“Quickly activate the Planetary Defense Engineering! I can handle things here! What Great Witch? I can take her down!”
Meng Dalei had completely lost her mind.
She was so close to capturing the Royal Family, which would be a massive achievement.
She could not let it slip away now.
In her eyes, Meng Lingneng was only there to steal the credit.
“What are you standing there for? Fire at them already!!”
Meng Dalei roared at the frozen Yun Liuxue.
“But… while we were capturing that insect earlier, the energy was completely depleted.”
Yun Liuxue’s expression was ugly.
“Argh! Useless! You’re all a bunch of useless trash!”
Meng Dalei was completely losing it.
“I knew you were all a bunch of incompetent fools! If I’m forced to step down, don’t even think about resurrecting those who died! I—urgh!”
With a dull thud, the roaring Meng Dalei suddenly rolled her eyes and fell completely unconscious.
“Whew, finally some peace.”
Yun Liuxue looked at the annoying brat and let out a heavy sigh of relief.
She had been putting up with this dead brat for a long time.
It was one thing to be short and ugly, but she didn’t even cherish a beautiful wife like Wen Ruyu and insisted on having affairs.
Fine, if you’re going to cheat, cheat, but then she discovered her mistress was an insect and tried to play a double-agent game.
In the end, the subordinates had to take all the blame while she took the credit.
And finally, she actually considered not resurrecting the fallen witches.
To be honest, Yun Liuxue admired her own patience for lasting this long.
“I am about to reach the destination. Please open the Spatial-Dimensional Time Blockade.”
Meng Lingneng’s voice came through.
Earlier, Meng Dalei had ordered Azure Star to enter a wartime state, locking down the planet’s space-time dimensions.
That was exactly why the Zerg Communication Bug had been intercepted.
“Understood.”
Yun Liuxue breathed a sigh of relief.
This farce was finally over.
What happened next was between Great Witches.
Regardless of the outcome, it had nothing to do with her anymore.
—
“I know you were drawn here by my incompetent daughter, and I know you’ve sacrificed a lot for Yaoyao and Miao Miao.”
Bai Wei knocked Miao Miao unconscious.
Seeing this, Su Ling tried to rush forward to catch her, but Bai Wei struck out with a palm.
The resulting gust of wind caused Su Ling to stagger, making it impossible for her to even stand.
“And the strangest thing is… your soul is actually identical to my incompetent daughter’s.”
Bai Wei held Miao Miao in her left arm while dragging K423 with her right.
Behind her, a pitch-black spatial rift slowly manifested.
Bai Wei gave Su Ling one last deep look.
If it weren’t for the fact that Su Ling’s soul was exactly the same as her daughter’s, she would have long since slain her as a body-snatcher.
She had considered the possibility of a split personality, but the “Earth” the girl spoke of and that knowledge of Earth made her dismiss the idea.
She knew that Earth truly existed, but it was not within the territories of the Witch Empire, nor was it in any known space-time dimension.
“Please think carefully about who you really are. I hope that the next time we meet, you can give me a perfect answer.”
“Miao Miao…”
Su Ling strained with all her might to lift her head.
She reached out her hand with difficulty, looking at the unconscious Miao Miao.
Her heart ached so much she could barely breathe.
“Please… please don’t take her away…”
Bai Wei remained deaf to her pleas.
She turned away coldly, carrying Miao Miao and dragging K423 into the spatial rift.
In the next second, the black crack closed rapidly, and Bai Wei’s figure vanished completely.
*Boom!*
The moment Bai Wei disappeared, another highly oppressive figure descended from the sky.
“Tch, how did she manage to run away again?”
The newcomer had blonde hair and golden eyes, with a curvaceous figure.
A pair of golden vertical pupils shimmered with the color of molten gold under the sunlight.
The older woman’s nose twitched slightly as she caught the lingering scent of spider lilies in the air.
A flash of annoyance crossed her exquisite face.
She lowered herself slightly and stopped in front of Su Ling.
She tilted Su Ling’s chin up.
At this moment, Su Ling’s face was covered in tears.
She looked like a wounded kitten, appearing incredibly pitiful.
“Sigh, having a mother like that… your life really is something else.”
