"Hey! Put me down this instant! What are you even thinking? Can't you see that I am in the middle of doing something? Stop playing around."Yet, Abby's words only fell on deaf ears. She remained afloat and Eugene directed her to fly straight to her room."Go get change and say nothing."Eugene said then he unceremoniously sent the other party flying upstairs.Abby sneered as soon as Eugene put her down. The other party was even considerate enough to close the door for her because apparently, he sent her flying straight inside her own room."Hmm... Eugene sure has an entirely different way of showing his care."Facing her reflection in the mirror, Abby saw how she looked like and she almost burst out laughing."No wonder! People kept on giving me weird looks. Even Jorah found it peculiar. This one indeed does not look anything like normal."She said to herself while paying attention to her skirt of leaves.It looked quite fashionable at some point but there was also no mistaking that it
During normal occasions, they never failed to make her feel that she belonged and they treated her no differently from a family.Eugene even made it clear to her that she was his apprentice and made her aware of his true identity as a warlock.They always saw to it that Abby was always part of everything they do, maybe not physically but at least they made her aware of what they were currently working with.Regardless of what kind of spell or potion it was, they would discuss it over dinner or lunch to give Abby an idea of what was going on.Eugene often forbade Abby from doing anything that involved magic, which was also all for her own sake since there was no way they could guarantee her safety once she got herself in trouble due to her lack of knowledge when it came down to the things next to sorcery.That was how they worked as a team. As such, Abby wondered what could possibly be the reason this time, for them to hide something from her.Meanwhile, inside the secret chamber...The
"By any chance, did that old witch told you about something else???"Eugene asked his pet after a short while as he found the trade quite unfair.They almost traded a whole bird worth of Adarna feathers just to get the other party's service and all they received in return was a piece of an old manuscript.No matter how hard Eugene think about it, and regardless of how rational and impartial he looked at the situation, it still seemed to him that they got the shorter ends of the stick for this trade.Conversely, when Jorah heard his master asking for any message that the old witch wished to relay for him, he broke into a cold sweat.There was indeed something that the old witch would like to say to Eugene but as much as possible, Jorah wished to just keep it to himself.As such, now that the other party was asking for it, he was caught between a dilemma whether to cover it with white lies or to just relay it to him, raw and word by word as it was."A warlock who cannot track a mere mort
"Did you not told her that we suspect that they came in possession with a powerful protective amulet and that was why we cannot seem to track them down no matter how hard we tried?"Eugene asked when he heard what Jorah said."I did tell her about it."Jorah replied right away because he somewhat sensed that the other party was starting to get irritated.He really had to tone down that temper of his a little bit before it could even get him in trouble in the future.Recalling about what happened back at the west castle, the old witch did not take Jorah's word seriously when he told her the possibility of a mortal possessing a powerful amuletShe thought that the cat was just simply trying to give her an alibi for his master's stead.However, when she saw by herself what the cat really meant by its words, she also found the entire situation rather peculiar.With a casual flick of her hand, the old witch was able to conjure a huge cauldron out of thin air.After taking out her huge cauld
"What happened???"Jorah asked in confusion. However, the old witch was just as baffled as he was. She had no idea where did it all go wrong."This can't be happening. My spell was just a second away from revealing their faces so how did this happen??"Rather than giving Jorah an answer to his question, the old witch came asking herself instead and expressed her own confusion as well.But then after a short while, a sudden realization dawned on her. Recalling what the cat just said a moment ago, she finally confirmed that there was really something strange with the mortals that they were trying to trace."Just as you have said, it seemed that there was really something protecting them."The old witch said. Her hand was touching her chin as she was deep into contemplation."Then does it mean that you are also helpless at finding them? Is there no other way?"Jorah asked with a conflicted expression pasted on his face.If even the infamous old witch of the west was not able to do somethi
On his way back home, Jorah became more curious than ever as to know how did Abby's stepfamily manage to get their hands off something powerful enough to protect them against the detection of even the infamous old witch of the west.If even the other party, herself, had a hard time tracking down Abby's relatives, then that only proved that the amulet that they had in possession was no joke.It must have been very powerful."Alright. So what did she suggest we do next from here?"Eugene's clear voice cut through Jorah's line of thought; pulling his senses back in the present."I believed that we are now left with no choice but to tell Abby about this. The old witch said that we need someone who shared a connection like a past relationship to our target and that only left us with one option, which is Abby.""So are you telling me that we have to tell her about how we are looking for her stepfamily???""Exactly."Jorah nodded his head in an affirmative manner."Alright then, so be it."He
"When I saw you crying in the hands of those people who tried to harm you, every muscle of my body was screaming of vengeance. But it was not only limited to those loan sharks, in particular. But most of all, I want your family to pay for everything they have done to you. Since it was they who brought you all those sufferings. "Meanwhile, hearing Eugene's heartfelt answer, Abby could not help but feel overwhelmed. It was rare for her to see him behaving with such passion.From the way, he said it, it was as though he was actually swearing at Abby that he would make them pay for everything that they had done to her.No one had ever shown Abby the same care before. For the most part of her life, she was always neglected.In fact, she could no longer remember when was the last time someone showed her love and affection.The feeling of being valued was something new to her. But it was also something that she was willing to get used to.When she looked at Eugene's and Jorah's face again, s
"That is a tracking spell Abby, and that is what we would use to track your family down."Abby nodded her head silently so as to let Eugene knew that she got his words loud and clear."All you have to do, little girl, was to chant those words written on the paper and you would already know where to find them."This time, it was the cat who butted into the conversation and explained to Abby how the spell would work.Knowing that Abby happened to know a thing or two with the Marcelian calligraphy, Jorah, and his master, Eugene, believed that it would not post Abby any difficulty in making the spell worked.Meanwhile, starring at the paper in her hand which contained the spell that would bring her to where her Aunt Sarah was, Abby was somewhat conflicted.Even just the mere thought of seeing the other party's face again
"How I wish I could personally wipe that smile on your face. It was so irritating."She thought to herself."Ehem...ahem..."The old man in the middle of the elevated platform cleared his throat and everyone fell silent. He carefully scans all faces present in the hall until it landed on Mu Lingxi and he smiles slightly.When the old man was sure that everyone is already present, he stands up and started the meeting. This old man was no other than the clan head, Mu Ruochen. Mu Lingxi's grandfather.
The morning sunray that went through the blinds of her window, forced Ai Hee out from her dreamland.It was so bright that when she opened her eyes, it almost blinded her."Hey! Close the window, what do you want?!"With a groggy head, she inquired at her cat; because when she tried to peaked through her half closed eyes, she saw her cat seating next to their window.Most likely than not, it was the other party who opened the window, with an intention to wake her."MEOW"[ It's time to wake up little lass. Your grandfather has been waiting for you since the break of dawn he and had been sending Yanyan to fetch you. But you simply would not bulge from that bed of yours. ]Nero replied while lazily stretching his back."AHRGG! give five more minutes!"Ai Hee mumbled as she slumped back to her bed and covered her head using one of her pillows. She intended to come back to her sleep, but Nero would not allow her to have it h
"MEOW"[ Let us just forget what we heard. We can just pretend that we don't know where it came from right?]her cat tried to console her but they both feel like they were coyed.Mu Lingxi ignored his cat and instead look at Yanyan who was eating something that resembles Pringles."And what was that made from?" Mu Lingxi became more cautious and ask Yanyan first before tasting one."Well, this one is some kind of tree bark. It was leisurely chipped away from a CINCHONA TREE" Yanyan unhurriedly answered as she takes a bite from the chip.Mu Lingxi finds it more acceptable to eat so she decided to give it a try. It tasted like Piattos' roadhouse barbeque." I never thought that a simple bark of a tree-like this can turn to be a delectable food in this place." Mu Lingxi exclaimed.Yanyan wonders why her young miss acts so strange. It was as if it was her first time knowing this kind of food.Nevertheless, she never doubted
Abby had thought about going back to her bed and resumed her sleep but then she remembered that today was her special day!"I am 18 now!!!! This is the day that I have been waiting for."She said as she bolted up straight from her bed.Without even bothering to wash her face or at least combed her hair and fix its hot mess, Abby immediately ran towards her door.But to her surprise, the door seemed lock from the outside! And no matter how hard she tried to push nor heave the door, it just simply would not budge.That was when Abby started to had a bad feeling."What was wrong with this door?!! Hey! Let me out of here!!!"She shouted at the top of her lungs, hoping that it would catch the attention of anyone from the other side of the door, but her efforts had only gone to naught.... SI
"For your 25, 000-dollar question, what is the name of the plant that could turn the one who devoured them into some sort of zombie and control its minds???"A. OphiocordycepsB. Wolf's BaneC. PigweedorD. Resurrecting PlantThe bald game show master asked Abby. His extremely white teeth made a great contrast with his dark skin as he smiled at her.Abby at the moment was playing as a contestant at what seemed to be a game show where one would have to answer some questions that were prepared beforehand.Rewards were also decided prior to the start of the game and every correct answer would allow the player to get a specific amount of money."Was there really a plant capable of doing that? FOR REAL?!!!"Abby asked the game master in return."Yes, dear. And you have to get the right answer for you
Meanwhile, when Abby heard the other party's abrupt accusation towards her, she was flabbergasted."Mine?! How come it became my fault?! I don't even have an idea that you are cooking here until we heard the explosion."Abby rebutted but Eugene only used her same words against her."Precisely! And that is your biggest mistake. You are supposed to be a servant in this house. It is your task to serve me. You are the one who should take care of all of this. Yet I was forced to cook my own meal!""But I was cleaning back then????"Abby argued back."So??? Is it my fault then?? Is it my fault that you wake up late? I am the master here and you are the servant. Do you suggest that I should be the one to adjust??? Should I just wait for you to finish your tasks and starve myself to death?"Eugene sai
I was suddenly taken aback by what he said. What does that mean? “Do you think I really belong to the Rohan family? I just adopted Alyanna !!! Because at first, my adoptive parents thought they would never have children. Case they made a mistake, they had a son! Your dad. ”“And what happened when he entered my life? He stole all the attention of my parents! He is the good one, he is the kind one, he has all the inheritance and nothing is left to me! ” No one told me about that.“But I accepted that Alyanna because your dad was kind to me. He even promised to share the family property with me… but it disappeared! It disappeared like a bubble because your good mother Allina came !!! ”
"Oh… I'll leave you first… I'm going to cry too!" Then Vander left immediately."And if you need anything, just call me.""I already have what I need Brylle." I held on tightly to the necklace I was wearing. The necklace that my mom and dad left for me. "Thank you."Brylle and I stared at each other for a long time. He turned around so I thought he was leaving. But he suddenly came back to face me again.Then he slowly bowed… and gave me another kiss on the cheek. "I'm
“Do you know, ladies, that we have been looking for the lost treasure of the White Light Clan for a long time? Eighteen years! We have been looking for it for so long! ”“So don't hurt us !!! We will tell you where that woman is so that you can get the sacred treasure you are looking for! ”"But we alam we do not know where he…""Shut up, Cerina !!!" The young man looked at Cerina and then at Seline."And you still plan to fool me?"&n
