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

Page 170

The overwhelming joy leads to the anxiety of fearing its loss.

"Is there any doubt about it?" Li Hui was amused by Jiang Kehan's cautious appearance. She took out a necklace from her pocket and put it on Jiang Kehan.

"However, judging from the time, I won't be able to make it back for your birthday this time, so I can only give you the birthday present I prepared in advance."

"Congratulations, Kehan." After Li Hui put the necklace on Jiang Kehan, he didn't let go of her arms around her neck, but continued to hug her.

"Congratulations on establishing yourself in this world. Please continue to work hard in the days to come."

She smiled and pressed her face close to Jiang Kehan's, feeling the warmth and slight dampness of the other's cheek.

"Please don't forget me and everyone else in the days to come, okay?"

"We will always remember you, such a reckless little fellow, who barged into our hearts without saying a word."

"Please, love yourself more, okay?"

"Hmm..." Jiang Kehan's eyes were blurred with tears, and she couldn't describe her feelings. But at this moment, she didn't want to let go.

She wanted to stay quietly in Li Hui's arms, as if forever.

Chapter 242 Beauty, like white feathers fluttering outside the window

Time is like the ceaseless breeze outside the window; we can only see it stirring up fragments of memories, but we can't perceive how much time has actually passed.

Jiang Kehan ​​was reluctant to let go of her hand, but Li Hui gently stroked her head and cunningly slipped out of her embrace.

"Do you like the gift I gave you?" Li Hui smiled and used magic to summon a mirror, allowing Jiang Kehan ​​to see herself in the mirror.

"I like it." Jiang Kehan ​​couldn't help but touch the necklace around her neck, looking at her slightly tearful reflection in the mirror.

She could clearly see a happy smile on her lips, a smile she hadn't even realized she was wearing.

So this is what true peace of mind is... Jiang Kehan ​​was somewhat dazed, yet she became even more gentle.

The necklace hanging around her neck was also beautiful; it was entirely silver-white with deep blue crystals interspersed in the middle, like the galaxy blending with the night sky, without being jarring.

However, the necklace is not made up of normal ovals or small spheres; it is more wondrous and profound.

Like the scales of the Heavenly Feather Dragon that Li Hui once transformed into, they gradually rose and overlapped, transforming into a silent angel, understated yet luxurious.

"Did you make this yourself?" Jiang Kehan ​​asked curiously, as she always remembered that Li Hui was actually very good at forging.

After all, the first battle suit she wore for witch duels was made by the other party himself, and she still carefully treasures it.

“Of course.” Li Hui’s expression became slightly more serious. She raised her head, like a proud swan, but her eyes clearly held a teasing quality.

"I only make necklaces for beautiful women; others don't have the good fortune to have them."

Jiang Kehan's face flushed slightly. She had heard similar words many times before, but this one came from Li Hui's mouth. He was just born superior to others!

"Stop joking, tell me what the necklace does." She gently patted Li Hui's arm and quietly looked at his profile.

"Actually, it doesn't have any special effect." Li Hui scratched her hair, looking unusually shy.

"However, as a gift, it only needs to serve the right purpose to be a good gift."

Li Hui showed her hand to Jiang Kehan, where she was wearing a ring of the same style on her index finger.

"For example, letting me know your status, of course, it's mutual." Her tone was somewhat wistful, and her eyes couldn't help but drift upwards.

Jiang Kehan ​​couldn't help but clutch her heart, exhaling a hot breath, and dared not look at Li Hui's face any longer.

There is no special meaning to which finger a witch wears a ring on, since rings are common magical items and usually all ten fingers are covered.

But Jiang Kehan ​​clearly remembered that she had talked to Li Hui before.

She held up her hand to the dazzling starry sky and excitedly told Li Hui about the special meanings behind the rings she wore on different fingers, explaining that it was knowledge from her past life.

It's a little secret that only Jiang Kehan ​​and Li Hui know.

She told Li Hui that the ring on her index finger meant: "I'm single, but I long for love that's been delayed."

Romance is a story that happens unexpectedly.

What made Jiang Kehan ​​even happier was that Li Hui remembered everything she had said very clearly, just like her, and she would carefully keep Li Hui's words in her heart.

"Hehe..." She couldn't help but chuckle to herself, "I really like it!"

Li Hui's shyness was punctured by Jiang Kehan's sudden silliness. She looked helplessly at this little devil who always seemed to have never grown up by her side and took Jiang Kehan's small hand.

“This ring will break if you are in mortal danger, of course, without wearing the life emblem.” She stared intently at Jiang Kehan.

Li Hui knew that Jiang Kehan ​​would meet many people and experience different hardships in the future, but she also hoped that Jiang Kehan ​​would never encounter danger.

"Although I may never need it, I hope it will never break."

"I hope that in the days to come, you will encounter peace and good fortune."

Li Hui raised their clasped hands and placed them in front of Jiang Kehan, showing her the ring, while gently leaning on her shoulder.

"An is safety, and Liang is a good person..."

"Promise me, okay?" Li Hui paused for a moment, then moved her head to look at Jiang Kehan, her head trembling slightly as if she were thinking about something unsettling.

"Although it may seem selfish, I still hope that when you encounter danger, you won't be the first to rush in, but will wait for someone to hold your hand and work together to change the less-than-ideal future."

"If... it's something you absolutely must change immediately, then crush the necklace. I will definitely appear before you whenever you wish."

"Absolutely, absolutely!"

Jiang Kehan ​​listened to these perhaps cheesy love words and felt an unexpected sense of calm, though she couldn't help but want to hold back her tears.

Some say that happiness doesn't easily bring tears to one's eyes, so how intense must the happiness be to make one want to cry uncontrollably?

Jiang Kehan ​​couldn't help but breathe softly, trying to calm the overwhelming emotion that choked her up. She couldn't help but recall her past self.

What were your thoughts when you first met Li Hui?

She vaguely recalled the past, then gently closed her eyes.

It was an overwhelming sense of amazement; it seemed that only someone like her could rival such a wondrous witch's world, and only such a person could be born here.

If the wild fantasies during the hunt were merely lustful thoughts, then the touch of emotion and guilt at the ball planted a seed.

A seed that can turn misconduct into pure goodwill and gradually corrupt friendship.

"I will never forget that moment. I was the one who came to save you, but you took the initiative to atone for my sins and saved me."

Jiang Kehan ​​murmured, her voice tinged with tears, but very clear.

“I knew you were an arrogant person back then.”

“So, I never thought you would feel uneasy because of me.” Jiang Kehan ​​gripped Li Hui’s hand tightly, trying to force a smile, but tears began to fall from her face.

Yes, it was when she was undeniably saved by the other party that her original idea of ​​simply holding onto the few remaining ties in this world and saving her friend began to corrode and deteriorate.

“I always thought that I was the one who was saved, but…” She finally managed a smile, though it wasn’t very pretty, but it was enough to make Li Hui gradually stop trembling.

"But I was wrong, terribly wrong."

"I've always been a prisoner with ulterior motives, so I'm not humble at all!"

"I just want to seduce the proud princess and gradually reveal the cowardice that doesn't belong to her, and then secretly take advantage of the situation. That's the kind of bad girl I am."

"So... don't worry about it, okay? I promise you I'll hesitate more when I'm in danger and I'll try to ask you for help."

"Please keep up your courage until we become irredeemable accomplices, okay?"

"I...I'm worried about you too."

Chapter 243 Please don't be afraid alone, I'm here to save you this time.

However, despite saying that, Jiang Kehan ​​knew that she was the one who was gradually being corrupted.

Corrupted by the other party's doting affection.

Whenever she's home, there's always a warm glass of milk placed outside her every morning when she wakes up, in the spot where she most often picks up her teacup.

Sometimes, when she just felt a little tired, without even guessing, there would always be a figure coming over to help her solve her problems, and at the end, they would gently pat her head to comfort her.

How could such a friendship not change?

Jiang Kehan ​​even dared not swear to herself that her desire to become the Great Witch to stop Li Hui from disappearing was purely for his sake.

Because she was doing it for herself—for what she called love.

The two gradually quieted down, leaning against each other, feeling the traces of their thoughts passing through their minds, and that slight restlessness.

However, they both knew that the other had things they could worry about, and that their current feelings were like a mirage, and that an abrupt touch would only shatter them.

"You said...you're a bad woman?" Li Hui's voice was a little hoarse, like a gently rustling wind chime.

"Why do I feel like I'm the arrogant, wicked woman, and you're just a little white rabbit I tricked?"

She nudged Jiang Kehan's shoulder with amusement, and spoke with ill intent.

"Heh, a bad woman with high attack but low health, huh?" Jiang Kehan ​​let the tears stream down her face, but after venting, her unease had dissipated considerably.

She clutched the necklace Li Hui had given her, reluctant to let go, and yawned softly.

"I'll admit you're a bad woman when you can be more open about it."

Li Hui couldn't help but puff out her cheeks and secretly poked Jiang Kehan ​​with her hair; she wasn't as "brave" as Jiang Kehan.

The other person is really like a rabbit; when pushed to the limit, they'll do anything, which is why she prepared this gift.

Li Hui casually said, "However, I do need to atone for my sins against you, Ke Han."

Ugh?

Jiang Kehan ​​was no longer sleepy. She stared curiously at Li Huijie's fair profile, and only after her tears had dried did she dare to openly gaze at him.

"Tell me! What else are you hiding?"

"If you don't explain yourself clearly today, don't even think about leaving this room!" She threatened Li Hui with a somewhat menacing gesture, which elicited a slight smile from him.

"Oh? Do you want me to crawl out, or hop out while covering my butt?" Li Hui tapped Jiang Kehan ​​on the head, then moved away from her shoulder and sat down in front of her.

"But it's actually a very serious matter." Her expression became somewhat distant and silent, which made Jiang Kehan ​​solemnly call out 08琦虾/漆wu柳.

In fact, Jiang Kehan ​​didn't know much about Li Hui, but Li Hui knew her personality and hobbies very well.

It wasn't that she didn't want to pay attention, but Li Hui rarely revealed these things; it wasn't like she was hiding anything, but rather that she didn't.

Is Li Hui finally going to reveal it to her today?

Jiang Kehan ​​nervously gripped the necklace, reassuring herself that Li Hui wouldn't suddenly disappear before her eyes after speaking.
