The Witch's Imaginary Land: Redemption Comes After Sticking Together

Page 43

Under pressure, Jiang Kehan ​​was eager to contact Li Hui and quickly changed the material to Witch Gold. Without much negotiation with Bai Bingbing, she politely took her leave.

She needs to balance both her abilities and her mission!

Watching Jiang Kehan ​​hurriedly take her leave, Bai Bingbing opened her mouth, but swallowed the words she originally wanted to tell her that the Mu'ou tribe was making statues for her and providing her with faith. She was somewhat amused and exasperated.

Let's wait until she has time to tell her; it's not a big deal.

Looking at Jiang Kehan's friend on her terminal, Bai Bingbing felt a sense of anticipation for some reason.

I wonder if she'll go to the Witch's Tavern on time?

Chapter 67

After saying goodbye to Bai Bingbing, Jiang Kehan ​​rode her broom to Qingxue's alchemy workshop. The good news was that Qingran was in the shop and seemed very happy to see her.

"Oh, Miss Kehan, what brings you here? Are you here to visit Qingxue?"

Qingran whispered something to the guest in front of her, and after receiving a nod, she walked slowly towards Jiang Kehan ​​in a flesh-colored bodycon dress, speaking in a tone of doting affection.

“However, Qingxue is still in class at the academy, so you may have to wait a while. If you’re in a hurry, should I send her a message to remind her?” She smiled, speaking as if she were talking to someone she knew very well, without any sense of distance.

Wow, Auntie is so good at this! She sounds just like my mom.

Jiang Kehan ​​looked at Qingran, who required her to look up to meet her gaze, and spoke with a hint of shyness and restraint.

"No, I came to ask if they accept these materials here. I've recently received quite a few commissions, and I thought Miss Qingran might need them, so I came right away."

She handed Qingran a list of materials she had compiled during the flight, her voice neither humble nor arrogant.

Seeing that Jiang Kehan ​​was completely acting as if it were a transaction, Qingran sighed inwardly.

My dear daughter, it seems you still have a long way to go in your journey of making friends. I wonder when I'll finally see you bring home someone else's cabbage.

I think Jiang Kehan ​​is pretty good.

Qingran was increasingly satisfied with Jiang Kehan. She casually glanced at the transaction form handed to her, but her gaze slowed down.

She looked at the slightly naive little witch in front of her in surprise, and suddenly realized that she had misjudged her.

These materials are not easy to obtain in large quantities, and some of them are so rare that even she was tempted by them.

This girl probably looted the other witches' inventory, didn't she? Thinking of this, she laughed at herself, realizing that she was being a bit delusional.

But in reality, Jiang Kehan ​​really did plunder the inventory. If the Whirlpool Society hadn't been so large and powerful, the market price of these materials might have increased considerably.

"These are all materials that are quite rare to obtain. If possible, I would be happy to collect them all." Qingran used magic to copy a list of materials, her eyes filled with anticipation.

"However, if Kehan ​​wants to get a higher price, she can consign her to me, but it may take longer."

Compared to these materials, Qingran was willing to spend more patience and time to grasp this somewhat magical little witch, so after a little thought, she made a second choice.

Jiang Kehan ​​was somewhat tempted; she was desperately short of money. However, considering the pressure she was under, she hesitated and spoke up.

"Thank you for your kindness, Miss Qingran, but I trust you more, so I'll just trade everything to you directly."

She handed over the storage bracelet and short staff to Qingran, and her open and honest attitude made Qingran think even more highly of her.

Qingran squatted down to look Jiang Kehan ​​in the eye, patted her head, and no longer simply regarded her as a friend of her child, but as someone worthy of her personal friendship.

"Oh dear, since Xiao Kehan ​​trusts me so much, it really makes me feel a little embarrassed."

There was actually no sign of embarrassment in her eyes; she smiled and teased Jiang Kehan.

"How about I send my daughter to you to be your little follower?"

Jiang Kehan ​​couldn't help but take a half step back, feeling that she was no match for her opponent. She could only blush and shake her head frantically.

"Do you want me to be your little follower? That's not good." Qingran chuckled softly, pulling out an ATM from her pocket.

"Let's keep the money transactions going then. Sigh, what a troublesome little fellow for adults."

No, it's me, that!

Looking at Qingran who had finished speaking, Jiang Kehan ​​actually regretted not having learned about her from Qingxue before approaching her. Jiang Kehan, who was unprepared, was utterly defeated!

Fortunately, she wasn't really a child, and quickly returned to normal. After taking the materials list and confirming it, she nodded politely.

I think I understand why Qingxue is so withdrawn. If I had parents who make fun of me every day, I wouldn't want to talk either.

Saying even one more word could get you ridiculed—it's terrifying!

Qingran squinted, not pursuing the matter further. Instead, she entered a few numbers into the ATM, then added her magic power to confirm the transaction.

"Kehan, what do you think? Is this price reasonable?"

Jiang Kehan ​​looked at the ATM, and the numbers displayed on it made her heart race, her eyes gleaming with gold.

2666 Witch Gold!

This is more than the maximum price she had estimated. You have to understand that although these materials are relatively rare, it doesn't mean there aren't affordable alternatives. It's obvious that Qingran has raised the price for herself!

Jiang Kehan ​​raised her head with difficulty, looking at Qingran with some inner struggle, and politely declined.

"This price is too high, it's not reasonable."

After saying those words, Jiang Kehan ​​felt as if her heart was bleeding.

But she genuinely refused. After Li Hui's example, she didn't want anything else to get mixed up in her friendships, even if the person giving the benefits was the other person's mother.

"Hmm?" Qingran was a little surprised and confused. She tentatively asked.

"Kehan ​​isn't a transformation witch, is she? Transactions involving materials from special channels usually involve a few percent commission. Although I offered a higher commission, it's still within a reasonable range."

"This is common knowledge among witches."

Qingran nodded to herself, but what she didn't say was that she gave the highest tip.

Jiang Kehan ​​wasn't stupid. She opened her mouth, but finding she had no excuse to refuse, she obediently entered her magic power into the payment machine.

With a melodious sound, the terminal displayed that her account had gained 2666 Witch Gold.

"Thank you so much!" She bowed deeply to Qingran, her tone resolute. "I will remember your help!"

"This child, perhaps letting her get close to Qingxue is the best thing I've ever done in my life," Qingran thought, looking at Jiang Kehan ​​as if she could see the other witches gathering around her in the future, and suddenly felt a little troubled.

Such a charming child, it looks like Qingxue will be heartbroken, sigh.

After returning the space bracelet and short staff to Jiang Kehan, Qingran couldn't help but send a message to her daughter as she watched the other person leave.

"My dear daughter, if you ever feel like crying, remember to tell your mother. Your mother's embrace will always be open for you."

In response, Qingxue bombarded her with dozens of question marks.

On the other side, Jiang Kehan ​​looked at the Witch Jin on the terminal, took a deep breath, and decided to go to Gulinfang to find Gu Lingfeng and get his advice on purchasing spells.

Moreover, the real reward for the commission is still in Gu Lingfeng's hands. After all, the Vortex Society had already handed over the commission fee to the official organization, and if anyone is to distribute it, it will be the official witch who distributes it.

However, she never expected to encounter that blonde figure at the entrance of Gulinfang.

Ariel, what's she doing here? Shouldn't she be at school today?

Jiang Kehan ​​looked at Ai Lier, who was looking down as if she was thinking about something, with a puzzled expression, and walked over.

Chapter 68 Witch Points and the Path

Jiang Kehan's undisguised footsteps startled Ai Li'er from her reverie. She looked up with a hint of confusion, but her expression immediately turned into a smile when she saw it was Jiang Kehan.

"Isn't this Kehan? What have you been up to all this time? I haven't seen you at the academy."

She reached out her hand to Jiang Kehan, bent down slightly, causing her straw hat to droop a little, and said with a youthful and beautiful smile.

"I was hoping to invite you for afternoon tea, but I didn't expect you to be so busy after the hunt, and recently you've even disappeared from the academy, which I really regret."

"So, will you come for a walk with me today?"

Jiang Kehan ​​looked at the outstretched hand and remembered how the other person had teased her when they first met. The pressure in her heart eased a little, and she chuckled and grasped the other person's hand without hesitation.

"Of course, but I have some things to do in Gulinfang, so I'll have to trouble you to wait a bit."

Ariel was somewhat surprised that Jiang Kehan ​​agreed so readily, and withdrew her hand. This time, there were no strange tentacles hidden in her hand.

"I'll wait for you. I also need to talk to you about something. You see, this is a kind of tacit understanding."

She spoke with a touch of humor.

"Only busy people will meet another busy person, because the leisurely witch is still playing house in her dreams."

Jiang Kehan ​​suppressed a laugh, shrugged, waved goodbye to her, and walked into Gulinfang.

As Ai Li'er watched Jiang Kehan's figure disappear, her gaze became somewhat somber. She tapped her toes lightly on the ground, troubled by her own thoughts.

I don't know why Li Hui still refused to attend the opening ceremony of the academy duel. Sigh, everyone was really looking forward to it.

Her gaze held a hint of suspicion. She felt that Li Hui's deliberate refusal was somewhat off, but she couldn't quite grasp the key point, which was what worried her the most.

On the other side, Jiang Kehan ​​watched Gu Lingfeng fiddling with the witch cards, his brows furrowed, and tentatively spoke.

"Miss Ling Feng, I've returned after completing the mission."

Gu Lingfeng looked up and stretched out his hand toward the chair opposite him, gesturing for Jiang Kehan ​​to sit down.

"You're here to settle your commission, right? Let me take a look. Hmm, I didn't expect the Uzumaki Society to rate your completion as 'excellent'."

She raised an eyebrow, her tone revealing a hint of surprise.

"That's not easy. I remember that Bai Bingbing is known for being very strict, but let's not talk about that. Let's see what your reward is."

Jiang Kehan ​​obediently sat down, looking at Gu Lingfeng expectantly. Although she had already made a lot of money this time, who would refuse more rewards!

Gu Lingfeng chuckled and opened his terminal to show Jiang Kehan ​​an interface she had never seen before.

"Official commissions are settled using points from the Witch Organization. Miss Jiang should be familiar with that, right?"

She entered 80 points on it, which made Jiang Kehan ​​a little excited.

Witch Points are a currency system that runs parallel to Witch Gold. However, unlike Witch Gold, which represents the preciousness of material goods, Witch Points are more of a reflection of the Witch Organization's control over knowledge.

Behind it lies all the knowledge the witch has accumulated since her birth, including the pinnacle of magic, level 9 spells.

The most notable feature is that witch points can only be used by witches, and if other races acquire them, they can only resell them to other witches.

Furthermore, spells starting from level 5 can only be traded using witch points, in order to protect the core knowledge of witches within their own race.

Although witch points can only be exchanged for knowledge, their inherent value allows them to be used to acquire many valuable items within the witch community.

"Ahem, Kehan, are you satisfied with the payment? If so, enter your magic power to confirm the transfer."

Gu Lingfeng waved his hand in front of Jiang Kehan, who was lost in blissful reverie, and coughed lightly, bringing her back to reality.
