Magic: Reincarnate from high-voltage electricity at the start, level up independently.

Within the dreamlike secret realm.

The Wish Witch stood in the void, her cool gaze fixed ahead—

The bizarre creature, firmly bound by the shackles of her laws and constantly struggling, continued to writhe in vain, emitting obscure and strange low moans.

Sensing the presence of that familiar aura, the strange creature's agitation intensified.

The witch's eyes were indifferent, without the slightest ripple.

Since she had already promised the shroud maker to spare her life, she would not break her promise.

The next instant, she lightly lifted her fingertips, and a pure, holy white divine light emanated from between her brows.

Soft light poured out like flowing water, instantly enveloping the frantically struggling, bizarre creature and cleansing it of its evil.

As the light slowly faded, the shackles of the laws that bound heaven and earth vanished without a trace.

The hideous and terrifying mutated monster from before has completely disappeared.

Only a slender girl remained, curled up on the ground.

It was Xu Wan.

The Wish Witch did not slay the evil spirit, but instead used supreme laws to reseal the strange power that had invaded the dream world back into the depths of Xu Wan's spiritual world.

After finishing everything, she glanced to her side.

Su Lingbai stood there blankly, her eyes empty and unfocused, all traces of her former lively spirit gone.

Crystalline saliva uncontrollably slid down the corners of her lips. At this moment, she had completely lost her mind and was like a fool.

The Wish Witch whispered softly, her voice clear and ethereal, carrying an indifference that transcended all things:

"You have trespassed into my dream realm and disrupted my chessboard of laws. I should have imprisoned you here forever, so that your soul may be scattered and your dreams may be shattered."

"But you belong to the Shirare Bell Shrine, share the same origin as us, and are connected to that supreme being."

"This is a one-time exception; I will make an exception and forgive you."

As soon as she finished speaking, another wisp of gentle white light entered Su Lingbai's brow.

The purifying power instantly cleansed the strange, malevolent energy and confused memories that remained in her mind.

In an instant, his empty eyes regained their vibrant light, and his scattered consciousness returned to its original state.

Su Lingbai slowly came back to her senses, and blankly scanned the surrounding dreamlike secret realm.

When her gaze fell on the girl's curled-up figure on the ground, her pupils contracted slightly.

Fragmented, terrifying memories suddenly surged up.

She clearly remembered that just now, Xu Wansheng had peeled off her own skin and torn her body apart, from which a terrifying and bizarre monster was born, which almost completely devoured her.

But before her eyes was a clean and tidy place, with no hideous mutations, no terrifying monsters, only Xu Wan lying peacefully.

The lingering fear lingered in my mind, while the relief of surviving the ordeal swept over me.

But beneath this stroke of luck lies an even deeper, bone-chilling resentment.

Su Lingbai's drooping fingertips curled slightly, and a hint of suppressed madness flashed in her eyes.

She has always boasted that her abilities are no less than anyone else's.

Throughout the world, all the billions of beings on Witch Star are only inferior to the Witch.

But today, a dream-like calamity, and an unnamed, eerie evil creature, nearly cost her her life.

The harsh reality shattered her arrogance.

"Indeed, those who attain enlightenment are nothing but ants."

She sighed softly, recognizing her own insignificance, then stepped forward, squatted down, and gently shook the girl on the ground.

A moment later, Xu Wan slowly woke up.

Her eyelashes fluttered, and she groggily opened her eyes, her voice muffled, tinged with the murmurs of someone still half-asleep:

"...Who, who dares to shake this Great Emperor's head?"

Once her vision cleared and she could see Su Lingbai in front of her, Xu Wan instantly became more alert, her eyes filled with confusion and wariness: "What are you doing?"

"I thought you were dead," Su Lingbai said calmly, her tone indifferent.

"It seems you are safe and sound, and have not been possessed by that strange monster."

After she finished speaking, she nodded slightly to herself, "It's good that you're alright."

Xu Wan looked completely bewildered, utterly confused: "What do you mean, 'dead'? What monster possession? What nonsense are you talking about?"

"You don't remember anything?" Su Lingbai raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Remember what?"

Xu Wan was completely bewildered, her mind was blank, and she had no related memories whatsoever.

Upon seeing this, Su Lingbai immediately composed herself, decisively shut her mouth and stopped asking further questions, casually replying, "It's nothing, I probably just remembered it wrong."

She secretly warned herself that too much talk could lead to mistakes.

The memory of Xu Wan tearing herself apart and transforming into a bizarre, crazed form is still vivid and terrifying.

She dared not utter another word, for fear of stirring up the other person's long-buried memories and causing that terrifying anomaly to recur.

Seeing that she was unwilling to say more, Xu Wan didn't bother to investigate further and muttered under her breath, "How inexplicable."

He then broke free from Su Lingbai's hand, nimbly leaped up from the ground with a somersault, and casually patted his bottom.

Her gaze locked onto the blue dot of light floating in mid-air, a glint of light flashing in her eyes.

At this moment, her memory is frozen on the moment before Su Lingbai appeared, when she was preparing to grab the light and return to reality.

Completely unaware of the terrifying and insane things she had just experienced in her dream.

She didn't even know when Su Lingbai appeared in her dream.

He reached out his palm and firmly grasped the blue light spot.

Xu Wan's figure instantly transformed into tiny particles of light, slowly dissipating into the dream.

Su Lingbai stood quietly in place, watching her leave. After a moment of silence, he followed her out of this dreamlike secret realm.

……

In the real world, there are glass cages and black chains.

Xu Wan suddenly opened her eyes and instantly came to her senses.

The familiar prison scene came into view, causing her blood pressure to spike instantly.

"Damn it! How did I get locked up again?!"

She was so angry that she gritted her teeth and was about to explode when she suddenly felt a warmth that didn't belong to her pressing on her shoulder.

Xu Wan suddenly turned her head.

Beside him, a young girl lay asleep, her face exquisitely beautiful, her eyes gentle and serene—it was the sleeping Su Lingbai.

"Su Lingbai!"

Xu Wan instantly bristled, shouting angrily, her voice filled with resentment and indignation:

"The battle is not over! You dared to take advantage of my deep sleep to launch a sneak attack and imprison me!"

"Despicable and shameless! Such despicable behavior! I despise you!"

Her eyes were sharp, and she exuded an arrogant and fierce aura as she urged in a stern voice, "Release me immediately! Let's continue our unfinished battle!"

The crisp rebuke echoed slowly in the enclosed space.

Beside the bed, Su Lingbai's long eyelashes trembled slightly as she slowly opened her eyes.

She sat up sleepily, rubbed her eyes, and spoke in a lazy, indifferent tone, with a hint of nonchalant superiority:

"Xu Wan, don't waste your energy."

Even if you break free of your chains, you still can't beat me in your current state.

"To put it bluntly, you are not qualified to fight me at this stage."

"You're talking nonsense!"

These words instantly struck a nerve with Xu Wan, who immediately retorted angrily, her face full of arrogance and defiance:

"Enough with the nonsense! If you've got the guts, let me out right now so we can fight again!"

"Alright."

Su Lingbai answered with exceptional decisiveness.

Xu Wan froze on the spot, her face full of astonishment: "No? You actually dare to agree?"

"Otherwise what?"

Su Lingbai gently spread his hands, reached out and untied the heavy chains binding the girl, his tone both gentle and cunning:

"You are my doll, so I will naturally grant you this small request."

He then added, his tone light, yet conveying absolute control and composure:

"It's not a big deal anyway. We'll just let you out, knock you out, and then lock you up again."

"It'll only take a few seconds."

Click—

All the chains were unlocked.

Xu Wan leaped off the bed, twisted her neck and wrists, and her whole body was full of momentum.

She looked up at Su Lingbai, a sneer curling her lips, her expression fierce:

"You brat, how dare you speak so arrogantly! I was just playing around with you before!"

"Now, I'll show you what I'm capable of!"

The girl's eyes were wide open, her teeth bared, like a vicious dog poised to pounce, its fighting spirit surging.

"My soul is captivated by the turbulent winds and clouds!"

With a sharp shout, she charged straight at Su Lingbai, her anger blazing!

……

The young girl, Awan, did not perform well in battle.

This seemingly fierce duel ended absurdly quickly.

Less than ten seconds.

Xu Wan, who had arrogantly lunged forward, was easily knocked down, her eyes closed, and she completely lost consciousness.

Su Lingbai bent down and carefully carried the sleeping girl back to the bed.

With a flick of her fingertips, thick, black chains slowly coiled around her again, firmly binding and securing her.

His movements were gentle and tender, his eyes filled with a touch of obsessive doting.

"If you lie still like this, you won't fall."

She murmured to herself, her eyes crinkling with a smile, and softly boasted:

"I'm really good at taking care of people."

After taking one last deep look at the peacefully sleeping girl on the bed, Su Lingbai turned and quietly left.

We should go check on how that vicious dog girl lying in the coffin is doing.
