Proving the Dao of Hunyuan from the Age of Witches

Chapter 023 The Cage of Roses

Remnants of information from the previous witch era?

Luo Xi's eyes flickered uncertainly.

Since arriving in this world, Luo Xi has been paying close attention to information related to extraordinary powers.

However, no results were found.

Even the Witch Council seems to have appeared only after she became a witch.

"What do you think a witch is like?" Rose suddenly asked.

"Weapons," Luo Xi replied without hesitation.

Luo Xi recalled her experience of becoming a witch over the past two days.

According to Rose, she was only a novice witch, a so-called low-level witch, and merely an incomplete F-rank witch.

How strong is an F-rank witch?

Let's just look at her as an incomplete F-rank witch.

Putting aside psychological factors, in terms of appearance alone, she is not only extremely deceptive, but also possesses a strong ability to recover, in addition to having magical powers.

She was initially attacked by her sister Luo Xin, who was also a witch, and lost her entire arm, but she was able to fully recover.

Being hit by a firearm would be fatal to an ordinary person, but for someone with magic, it's not a problem as long as her magic isn't completely depleted.

Super regeneration, fatal wounds are practically nullified...

From being trapped in the middle of a small artificial lake until now, apart from feeling hungry, I have basically no other needs.

The food and water I ate disappeared without me even realizing where they went, and I didn't need to go to the toilet.

Extremely low physiological needs...

Putting those aside for now, let's just talk about the magical properties of witches. Take her magical property of cutting, for example. She can shred matter within a 10-meter radius around her without any warning!

In terms of instantaneous destructive power and survivability alone, in certain environments, such as close-range environments, she can be considered a quasi-strategic threat!

Of course, these are only true for ordinary people.

If witches have weaknesses...

The safest way to kill a novice witch is to use modern firearms to bombard her from a distance until her magic is depleted, preventing her from regenerating and slowly wearing her down.

If it's a large-scale weapon of mass destruction released in an instant...

Luo Xi recalled being sniped by an anti-materiel sniper rifle the previous night, and she and her sister still had a premonition of danger...

This premonition ability allowed them to avoid being sniped by anti-materiel sniper rifles.

If every witch possessed this ability, this precognitive power would significantly increase the difficulty of killing witches.

This is merely an F-rank witch, the lowest rank of witch, and she is still an incomplete F-rank witch.

As for the higher-level witches, Luo Xi turned her gaze to Rose.

It conjured a large number of plants out of thin air in an instant, effortlessly covering a building hundreds of meters long. Judging from its behavior, it also seemed to have the ability to interfere with consciousness...

"It's a weapon," Luo Xi said firmly.

Rose's serene expression revealed nothing. "So, you've been fighting ever since you woke up?"

"You can compromise for survival, you can change to adapt to the environment, but no matter how you change, you must remember that you are always a human being," Rose said quietly.

Luo Xi's heart skipped a beat.

Not knowing how to continue the conversation, Luo Xi turned her gaze to the plants wrapped around her body, and after a long while, she finally asked, "Can you let go of me now?"

"No," Rose stretched out her hand, and an unknown little flower slowly bloomed from her fingertips, carrying a peculiar fragrance. The petals fell on Luo Xi's face, and Rose's voice remained gentle and serene, "Rest well."

Seeing that Qiangwei wouldn't let go of her, Luo Xi turned her head to look at Bai Nuo beside her. Bai Nuo seemed to be in a daze, silently following behind.

They walked in silence until Rose led Luo Xi to a restaurant.

Luo Xin, her younger sister, was actually eating at the restaurant.

They ignored the surrounding ruins.

I don't know where they found a chef in this kind of environment.

"Let's rest for a bit." Rose found a seat in a corner and sat down, looking at Luo Xi lying on a bed made of plants.

Luo Xi was somewhat irritated.

Rose wouldn't let go of her.

Lying on the bed made of plants, Luo Xi noticed that some of the plants wrapped around her were vibrating, as if they were giving her a massage.

It made my body feel numb.

Even when she couldn't move at all—no, not completely immobile, she could still move her fingers—it was just that whenever Luo Xi pinched a plant with her fingers, Qiangwei would stare at her.

Luo Xi had no choice but to give up.

Luo Xin also noticed Luo Xi's condition.

She skipped over, a slice of watermelon in her hand, and shoved it directly into Luo Xi's mouth.

"Sister, I'll feed you."

A cold, deadly gaze swept over her, and Luo Xi said indifferently, "Go play somewhere else."

Bai Nuo also woke up, reverting to her timid demeanor. "Boss, what's wrong?"

"You hit me..." Luo Xi said coldly, "You have twin martial souls, so you were hit by your other martial soul."

"Dual...twin martial souls?" Bai Nuo wondered, turning back to the side to mutter to himself.

A gluttonous younger sister, and a subordinate with lung ulcers.

She actually expected two little girls to save her.

Without saying a word, Luo Xi silently used her magic to communicate with Yang Jian through the drone and summoned him to the restaurant.

"Yang Jian, I owe you a favor this time," Luo Xi said calmly. "As long as it doesn't cross my bottom line, and it involves matters of the extraordinary, I can do one thing for you if it's within my power."

Yang Jian suppressed his excitement. "There's an apartment in the city center. The access control has been set up. You can go there in a bit. This is a reward for your assistance in combating the abnormal entity."

"Your sister Luo Xin and Bai Nuo, considering their young age before they became witches, and with their ID cards and school enrollment procedures already completed," Yang Jian thought for a moment, then continued, "if they find it inconvenient, they can also hire tutors."

"Luo Xin, do you want to continue your studies at school or study at home?" Luo Xi asked directly.

"I...I want to continue going to school," Luo Xin replied indistinctly, her mouth full of food.

"That's settled then. Bai Nuo and Luo Xin can continue their studies." Luo Xi turned to look at Yang Jian.

"Your situation is currently confidential," Yang Jian said, watching Luo Xi turn around. "So your relatives don't know what happened. They can visit you anytime, but I don't recommend direct contact."

"We'll secretly take care of their lives and work," Yang Jian said, pulling out a brand-new mobile phone and a bank card. "This is just a small token of our appreciation."

"Thanks." Luo Xi calmly accepted everything Yang Jian had done.

She's not some heinous person who wants to destroy the world.

She is also a guardian of world peace!

This is the treatment a cultivator should receive.

After signaling Yang Jian that he could leave, Luo Xi looked at the roses in the corner.

"Let me go," Luo Xi said calmly.

Rose remained calm and made no move.

"...Rose, I don't care what your plans are. You saved me this time, so I owe you my life. Therefore, you can have anything you want from me."

"You can take this life if you want, it's perfectly reasonable anyway."

"But there's one thing I need to tell you now: don't mistake my patience for weakness. My patience has its limits..."

"So, let me go!"
