Chapter 197 Stars, Moon, and Sun (39)
The story has finally begun.
Yi Yi made a request to Xiao Cerebellum: "If there are no problems from the female lead's perspective, can I see Ai Yi's perspective?"
After hesitating for a moment, the cerebellum agreed.
I don't know if I don't see it, I'm startled when I see it.
Even the cerebellum emitted a sharp crackling sound on the radio before disappearing in a flash.
Perhaps it's because the game crashed too badly or for some other reason.
It turns out that Ai Yi is not the same as in the original setting.
The kind princess was protected thanks to the cooperation of the entire nation.
Vivian has disappeared without a trace.
Instead, he went to great lengths to find Vivian and even secretly met with "her" several times.
-
The "she" in this context does not refer to Vivian Habsburg.
He is someone who surprised everyone.
At least when Ai heard the witch's voice from her own adopted daughter, it was completely unexpected.
The witch told him that Vivian was indeed worthy of being his daughter.
Even after being transformed into a donkey, she remained kind and even helped herself improve her living conditions on several occasions.
Her smile in the sunlight was just like that of the Habsburg prince who had extended a helping hand to her years ago.
The witch also explained that the fairy beside the princess was herself in disguise.
She instructed the princess to obtain the sacrificial clothing she desired, as well as the body inhabited by her soul.
That is, the donkey skin.
I heard that the Habsburg king is going to marry his daughter.
The morbid witch wanted to trick Vivian into switching bodies with her.
They also conveniently restored the witch's identity.
but……
"Why?! Why isn't Vivian Habsburg, who is clearly that witch's daughter, a witch?! What did that woman do?!"
The witch, dwelling in the donkey skin, roared in resentment.
He collapsed because his plan could not be fulfilled.
Ai watched all of this with a cold eye, only reacting when the witch mentioned what Ai had done.
The witch quickly noticed the subtle reaction.
He scrutinized Ai for quite a while.
She burst into laughter, "Really? That woman didn't just disappear! The curse has come true, hasn't it?"
Ai's sudden movement to grab the donkey skin off Vivian further convinced the witch of her suspicions.
The witch laughed maniacally: "Hahahaha! My curse, which cost me my soul, has taken effect! But my soul still exists! That woman, no matter how much she schemed, never imagined that her own machinations would end up protecting me!"
Ai Yi frowned even more deeply, pressing his large hand firmly against the donkey hide, where the donkey's head could still be seen.
I couldn't help but ask, "What did she do? Do you have any clue?"
The witch, controlling Vivian's body, raised an eyebrow.
She looked at the man in front of her, still as dashing as ever, his familiar gaze fixed on her.
He couldn't help but laugh again: "How would I know what she did? Wasn't I completely fooled by her back then?"
"Then go die!" Ai couldn't get the donkey skin off Vivian.
They could roughly guess that the witch and Vivian were now one and the same.
Without hesitation, she moved her hand to Vivian's neck.
The witch is not the same witch she used to be.
Having experienced death, she now fears it even more.
She screamed in terror, "This is your daughter! How could you do this?!"
Ai didn't answer, but only increased the pressure on her hands.
The witch was being choked so hard she was panting like a leaky bellows.
In an instant, her voice transformed into Vivian's: "Father... Father King..."
Ai ignored her and increased the pressure on her hands.
Blood vessels gradually appeared on his eyes.
The witch knew that if she didn't do something now, she would die here.
In a flash, she thought of something.
When the neck is being choked.
She said with difficulty, "Wait... I... know a way... to see her..."
The shackles around his neck were suddenly loosened.
The witch, having narrowly escaped death, collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.
Watching Ai Yi frown as she was about to step forward again.
She quickly shouted, "I...I don't know what she did, but there's a way to ask her directly!"
Ai raised an eyebrow, signaling her to continue.
"To say you've seen her isn't quite accurate, since a witch's soul cannot last forever." Seeing Ai take a step forward, the witch quickly assumed a defensive stance and continued, "But after a witch departs, she leaves behind a lingering spirit. If you can summon this lingering spirit, she will answer any question the summoner may have!"
Ai took a half step back, crossed her arms, and looked coldly at the witch.
The witch only showed a look of infatuation for a second.
He instantly sobered up when he met Ai's murderous gaze.
She continued, trembling, "This was originally a magic that would make it easier for witches to pass on their skills, but I'm not a witch anymore, so I can't do it anymore."
Ai sneered, her leather boots stomping firmly on the withered leaves, crushing them with a single step.
Sensing Ai's murderous gait, the witch hurriedly tried to explain, "But there are ways for humans to summon a witch's lingering spirit! Let me go back and investigate! I'll give it to you once I find it!"
Ai Yi lifted the cloak behind her and squatted down.
His gaze sharpened as he stared directly into the witch's eyes: "Don't try anything funny. I can find you once, and I can find you a second time, but if I don't find anything next time, things won't be so easy for me!"
Faced with such blatant threats, the witch quickly assured them, "No! I will definitely find a way!"
Then, under Ai's watchful gaze.
The witch rolled over, got up, and ran back to the hut behind her.
Ai didn't know if this was just the witch's side of the story, told to save her own life.
But she doesn't mind waiting a little longer.
As he said, neither Vivian nor the witch could escape to places they couldn't find.
He has that kind of confidence.
Well, at worst, we can just wait until the witch doesn't have any good news, then tie Vivian up and go back to hold the wedding.
As for the kingdom, Ai has no plans to return for the time being.
In order to achieve new progress as quickly as possible.
He decided to follow the witch.
So the witch peeked out the door the next night.
The sky collapsed in an instant!
There is absolutely no way to deny it.
The witch could only pretend not to know of Ai's existence and returned to the place where she originally lived.
The cave, hidden by bushes, remained unvisited even after all this time.
Although the weathering inside is quite severe.
Fortunately, nothing was lost.
They found out what humans needed to summon the witch's lingering resentment.
It was another bolt from the blue for her.
After hesitantly asking Ai Yi not to hurt her.
Only then did she dare to show the method to Ai Yi.
I thought that after seeing the price, Ai would give up her lingering desire to see Yi Yi.
But after reading it, Ai simply said to the witch, "There are some things I don't quite understand. You prepare them for me!"
The witch exclaimed in surprise, "You're not planning to push me into the ritual again, are you?! Let me tell you! No one except the person performing the ritual will see the witch's lingering spirit, and then..."
Ai glanced at the witch, interrupting her, and then sneered, "When a human summons the witch's lingering spirit, even the last trace of that spirit will dissipate."
The witch was puzzled, and then she heard Ai say, "Does she deserve to be seen by you in her last moments on earth?"
The witch was speechless, and then looked at Ai more closely.
His eyes were bloodshot, clearly showing that he had grasped at the last straw.
But I still don't understand.
She frowned, her pretty little face contorted in confusion, and said, "But... even a cursed immortal would still die if they lost their heart, as long as they were still human!"
