My wife is a witch princess.

"walk home."

"I'll call another one and try." Song Che thought it might be a problem with the driver, or the software was malfunctioning.

Walk home?

More than 100 kilometers? Are you kidding me?

A dozen minutes later, Song Che quieted down.

Today...it seems like I've really run into something weird.

He wasn't easily frightened, but now he and Xia Li were just ordinary people. If there really was something unclean, they wouldn't be able to escape. Besides, ghosts don't eat people, right...? After all, ghosts were originally people who turned into humans.

He led Xia Li back, wanting to see if the hotel reception was still functioning properly.

If the front desk also changes, then there will be a big problem.

A few minutes later, the conclusion came out.

Good news: The receptionist is still there, yawning, she's not a ghost.

Bad news: It seems the two of them... have traveled to a parallel world.

According to Song Che's understanding, explaining it through parallel worlds makes sense.

The world is largely the same, but the people and things within it have changed.

But how could someone call a driver from a different world?

When will China Unicom's signal be able to cross dimensions?

13.

He didn't believe it and called his mother.

Beep beep—No one answers.

Call Jiang Shuo.

Beep beep—still no one answers.

Call Zhang Hanyu.

Beep beep—it's working now.

This girl is probably up all night playing games again; she's wide awake right now, and the game sounds are blaring loudly over there.

"Hey Song Che, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Is it night where you are?

"Yeah, it's four o'clock. Just finished a game. What's up?"

"...It's okay, you can continue." Song Che hung up the phone, staring at the screen, feeling that the world had finally become something he couldn't understand.

One time was around 4 a.m., and the other was around 1 p.m.

This must be a dream!

Song Che decided to find an internet cafe; he figured they'd still be open at this hour. After walking for a while, he checked the time—it was 4:30.

It was still dark and I couldn't see very well, but there were definitely people going in and out of the internet cafe in front of me.

"Holy crap, who the hell dug a hole in the middle of the road?!"

……

Xia Li was furious, a fury born of being mocked. She had watched helplessly as Song Che died, unable to understand why or stop it.

That guy hiding in the shadows... is deliberately provoking her.

I can't protect the people I want to protect.

This is an insult to Her Highness the Witch.

Protecting Song Che was initially a contract, but now, she would do it even without a contract.

But she was powerless to do anything about it.

There is no magic, no enchantment.

Xia Li clenched her fists, feeling more anger than helplessness and sadness.

She could have protected him. If her magic were still intact, she would never have allowed that guy to be so arrogant.

Xia Li is actually quite quick to anger.

……

Xia Li decided that she would not let Song Che go out today.

"Song Che, I'll put you to sleep tonight."

"But it's getting light, and we still have to go to the orphanage..."

I'll lull you to sleep!

"You can try to comfort me... but please don't hit me!"

I won't hit you.

"Can I brush my teeth first? My mouth feels uncomfortable. Can I go to sleep after I'm done brushing?"

"……Row."

……

Xia Li decided that she must stay by Song Che's side at all times today and protect him.

"You are not allowed to leave my side."

"...Oh. But why?"

"Don't ask."

"Xia Li, you look so fierce."

"..."

"Xia Li, do you need to tie me to the bed with a rope? I don't like that... and don't tie it in a tight knot, I can't untie it, damn it, I'm calling for help."

"To prevent you from committing suicide."

"I never thought about committing suicide!"

"..."

"I'll listen to you, I'll listen to whatever you say... Don't hit me on the head."

……

Xia Li decided that she would find out and take down the mastermind behind it all.

"Xia Li, why is your face so red?"

"I am fine."

"You look fierce, are you planning to kill someone?"

"I am fine."

"Your face is even redder, and your fists are clenched." Song Che reflected for a moment, "Did I... make you angry again?"

He knew that Xia Li was truly desperate now.

"How about, Your Highness, you punch me to vent your anger?"

……

Xia Li decided that she would never hit Song Che again.

She could now clearly feel two emotions surging in her chest.

Angry, sad.

She was furious, her anger level was at its maximum, and she felt like she could punch a dragon to death right now.

She wasn't a weak girl; she was a princess. She refused to be mocked like this and would never see Song Che die again.

Because Song Che treated her well.

boom--

An aura erupted from her body; it wasn't powerful, but it was undeniably present.

"Your Highness... you suddenly started using cheat codes without even giving me a warning..."

Song Che was on the verge of death, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

……

Xia Li was so angry she almost cried.

But she couldn't cry because she was very angry.

However, there is good news.

When she was so angry that she wanted to kill a dragon, some of the lost magic returned.

His skill level is not comparable to that of a great mage, but he seems to be able to use the most basic spells.

She speculated that if she had been angrier... perhaps she could have recovered more?

This speculation is completely unfounded and purely the wild thoughts of someone blinded by anger. She felt that she was already so angry that she was dizzy and disoriented.

If I keep getting angry, I'm afraid I'll anger myself to death first.

But with this little bit of magic, it feels completely different.

She sensed the presence of another magician.

This must be the mastermind behind it all.

Regardless of the other party's purpose, Xia Li decided to find out.

……

Xia Li was certain that as long as she recovered a little magic power, she could slowly return to her peak, and then she would find the mastermind behind it all, make it apologize, and then kill it.
