Great! I'm surrounded by villains!-Chapter 394 - 313: Love Curse

The key to identifying a wizard lies in their energy.

Indeed, this method applies to hunting all mystical groups, but the Witch Council has gone a bit further. During the witch hunts, they discovered the trick to concealing themselves, leading to the formation of the Witch Council we see today.

"Therefore, to discern a wizard’s identity, one must start from within."

A’Jing said, "The first step is to become a wizard yourself, so that you can recognize the presence of other wizards."

"But wouldn’t that also allow them to identify us?"

Jiuyue raised her doubts.

A’Jing was non-committal, "I never promised you this method was without risk, especially considering that most wizards are already aware of your situation."

Therefore, in addition to identification, the two had an extra step to take, which was to convince other wizards that they were genuinely interested in joining the Witch Council.

To this, Duan Mingyuan was quite surprised, "I had assumed that the Witch Council was a closed society that valued pure bloodlines."

In his mind, most mystical organizations were like that.

"On the contrary, the Witch Council has no threshold and welcomes any members who can learn witchcraft. After the destruction of the planet, the first group of wizards fled to various parts of the universe. After a hundred years of settling, there is no longer a basis for pure bloodlines. In addition, wizards have no strict marital restrictions, and many eventually marry and have children locally."

"Then why don’t you marry and have children?"

Caught off guard by Jiuyue’s soul-searching question, the air in the room suddenly grew tense, and A’Jing glared at her fiercely. "Why do you talk so much?"

Once the dust settled on the Eco-Ship, she definitely needed to include her knowledge about the Fox Demon in the ’Fantastic Beasts’ books.

Clearly, Fox Demons are among the most sarcastically venomous and annoying groups in the universe.

Especially the Calamity Fox, one must stay far away upon seeing it.

But Jiuyue was relentless, she leaned closer to A’Jing, "Although you’re not as beautiful as I, you still look decent enough, and the title of Dawn Witch sounds quite impressive. Among the wizards, you’re considered one of the best, but in all the time I’ve known you, no one has ever pursued you."

After learning about A’Jing’s past, Jiuyue came to an even more astonishing fact.

Their good friend, Miss Dawn Witch, as a member of the first-generation Witch Council, had been single for over a hundred years.

"Everyone has their shortcomings, Jiuyue."

Duan Mingyuan found himself needing to intervene to stop Jiuyue from poking at someone’s sore spot. Miss Witch’s expression had already turned quite ugly, and he worried if the situation continued, Miss Witch might become so infuriated that she would conjure some extremely powerful Lethal Hit Barriers.

After pondering briefly, he spoke on behalf of the witch, whose speech was choked with anger, "Maybe she just spends most of her time delving into witchcraft. This kind of thing happens, much like the scholars attending this academic conference. Their marriage rate is surprisingly low."

Duan Mingyuan spoke earnestly, although what he said was completely fabricated on a whim.

Without data support, without any surveys, just relying on outsiders’ stereotypes.

But he felt it met the criteria for a well-intentioned lie.

"But A’Jing doesn’t have that issue; she’s bored out of her mind. Last time I went to see her, she was just idling in the Conscious Space and always snooping into other people’s private lives out of boredom."

"Not always!"

A’Jing’s face was flushed to the nape of her neck, whether out of embarrassment or anger, "Who would enjoy watching your nauseating interactions? I don’t need any of that!"

"Since the topic has come to this, I might as well be blunt."

Jiuyue crossed her arms in front of her chest.

"Just now, A’jing said a lot of truths, and as a return gift, it’s time for her to speak some heartfelt words that have been buried for a long time. Using Mr. Mingyuan’s words, reciprocity is the cornerstone of a good relationship, and as a friend, she has always been concerned about A’jing’s psychological health,"Actually, I’ve suspected you of having some quirks for a long time, which is why you’ve remained single, just like those... um, what’s it called again? Oh right, gloomy homebody woman!"

"You’re the one who’s a gloomy homebody woman!"

A’jing was so angry that her vision blurred. She had long taken issue with Jiuyue’s routine displays of affection with Duan Mingyuan in front of her, and this Fox Demon relentlessly provoked her time and again.

Thanks to Jiuyue’s continuous provocations, Duan Mingyuan was now acutely aware of the Wizard-specific energy fluctuations that A’jing had mentioned.

The disguise could no longer be maintained.

It was growing stronger, like charging a powerful Lethal Hit.

"Listen carefully, I’ll only explain this once."

A’jing said, "The love that you all desire is easily attained by a witch. Ever since I knew about the existence of love curses, I’ve lost interest in such things."

She crossed her arms over her chest, her face full of arrogance.

For witches, they don’t need to cultivate feelings through everyday interactions, just a short incantation could make the other party willingly become their dog.

Compared to the truly powerful spells she knew, the love curse was far too simple and not worth studying.

"Then you teach me that one."

Jiuyue mimicked A’jing’s posture and even intentionally took a step back in a gesture of concession.

She had no interest in the Wizard’s spells until she heard about the existence of the love spell.

"Hmm?"

"Didn’t you say you want to identify other wizards, you first have to become one of them? Then that’s the one, I want to learn the love spell."

"Ah, uh... Why are you suddenly learning this? It’s useless to you. I am the Dawn Witch, knowledgeable in many profound spells, and the opportunity to learn from me is rare."

"Never mind whether I’ll need it or not, that’s what I want to learn."

Jiuyue had made up her mind, and now, not even nine Bai Yu chickens could drag her away. Whatever other incredible skills A’jing possessed were irrelevant to her.

In order to achieve her goal, she even employed reverse psychology, "You couldn’t possibly be ignorant of these spells, could you?"

"Don’t underestimate me, I am the Dawn Witch. How could I not understand a spell that even ordinary wizards know?"

The Dawn Witch clenched her teeth in anger.

She understood every spell inside and out. The only issue was...

There is often a high wall between theory and practice.

She had never actually applied the love spell in real combat.

"Then you demonstrate it for me to see, but the targets cannot be me and Mr. Mingyuan."

Jiuyue said, "We are already lovers; who knows if your spell would have any effect or not?"

"There’s no need to stress that, I know. I’ll demonstrate!"

No one could question a witch’s basic skills, especially when it’s the Dawn Witch, who is known as the "encyclopedia" among Wizards. Nowadays, more than half of the mystical literature in the Witch Council is authored by her.

"Come with me, I’ll demonstrate it for you right now!"
