Even if she was just a knockoff, she was still a witch who endangered the world, and yet she got so scared she peed herself.
As a fellow Chen Xing, I felt embarrassed for her.
“Are… are you really the Witch… the Witch herself…?” The witch in front of me suddenly knelt down to Chen Xing, her voice trembling as she pleaded, “Please spare me, Witch! I-I didn’t mean to impersonate you.”
She never expected that the legendary, cruel, dark, and evil witch would actually be resurrected, and right in front of her, no less.
She knew the witch’s reputation—if you messed with a witch, the best outcome was death.
But if you fell into a witch’s hands, it was usually a fate worse than death.
“Hey? You’re begging for mercy? Come on, sis, you’re the number two witch at least, have some backbone, will you?”
“I-I’m not a witch at all, I’m not…” The witch lady was bawling her eyes out, snot and tears everywhere, all her dignity from before completely gone.
“I’m sorry, Witch… Please, just give me a painless death.”
She knew how cruel witches could be, so she didn’t even hope to live.
All she wanted was for the witch not to torture her, just to let her die quickly and cleanly.
“You’re making me out to be way worse than I am.
I’m not going to kill you.” Chen Xing patted the big sister’s shoulder, but instead of calming her down, it only made her more nervous.
She trembled with fear, her face pale, eyes wide: “No, no! Please don’t!” She thought Chen Xing was about to torture her, and in her mental breakdown, she started screaming and yelling.
“…Forget it, you probably can’t answer my questions anyway, let’s just keep it simple.” Chen Xing pressed her hand to the big sister’s chest, and in the next second, black matter gushed from her palm, instantly wrapping around the witch’s body.
“Mmm! Mmm!” With her mouth covered, she let out one last sound, and then her whole body was assimilated by the black substance, turning into a puddle of black liquid that was absorbed into Chen Xing’s body.
“Hmm… Oh, so that’s how it is.”
Chen Xing had used her magic eye to check out this witch earlier and found that, while she had a dark attribute, her level wasn’t high—around level forty or so.
She wasn’t even as strong as Freya, let alone Little Dragon Girl.
That so-called knockoff witch was at least a god race, only corrupted after being sealed in darkness for thousands of years, so her power should’ve been way more than this.
Now, she’d been absorbed by Chen Xing and become part of her body.
Her soul was tasted over and over by Chen Xing, and everything she’d ever thought flashed through Chen Xing’s mind.
“Ohohoho…” Chen Xing shivered.
The moment she tasted that soul, she felt a pleasure like never before.
Especially since the soul was full of fear—crushing and merging that fear with the soul and savoring it slowly, letting it seep into every part of her being, made her feel pleasure on a soul-deep level.
The pleasure in the soul was a hundred times stronger than anything physical.
“No wonder witches get addicted to killing, and why they love to torture before the kill.”
Licking her lips, Chen Xing turned to look at the soul the witch had tossed aside not far away.
She raised her hand to summon it over, then stuck out her tongue and gave it a little lick.
Immediately, Chen Xing’s face twisted like she’d just eaten a bitter melon, and she spat: “Ugh, tasteless.
Dying in your sleep has no flavor at all.”
Chen Xing gave up on those souls, then crushed them, turning them into countless soul fragments that scattered into the air.
“Should still be in time.”
Guided by some kind of dark magic, those scattered souls flew back into the city and entered the corpses that had just died.
They would be resurrected, but after touching the witch’s darkness, the price they’d pay in the future might be even scarier than death.
“Time to go home~” Stretching lazily, Chen Xing’s body melted into the shadow beneath her feet.
“Master, you’re back~” As soon as she emerged from the shadow, Little Dragon Girl pounced on Chen Xing and nuzzled up to her affectionately.
Just like a puppy jumping on you when you get home.
“Good girl~” Chen Xing patted Little Dragon Girl’s horns.
Honestly, sometimes she really did find her cute, as long as…
“Can you not rub your chest on me? I don’t want to compare ‘boobs’ with you.”
“Hehehe… Master, what happened to that knockoff witch?”
“What knockoff witch? She doesn’t even count as a knockoff.”
The witch who once sealed Chen Xing and was corrupted by darkness was the number two witch—she was this witch’s master.
After being injured in the second human-god-demon war, she fell into a deep sleep, so her servant started using the witch’s name to scam people.
“Wow, even knockoff witches have knockoffs now? Is the witch title really that worthless these days?”
Witches need souls to awaken, so this witch had been collecting them.
But she was selfish and didn’t want her master to wake up too soon, so sometimes she’d just toss the souls away, like she did just now.
“Looks like Little Dragon Girl is actually pretty loyal.
She really wanted to revive me? But… who knows what she’s really thinking.
Maybe I should just absorb her too and see what’s in her head?”
“She’s already been eaten by me.
Consider that her punishment.”
“What punishment, Master? That’s a reward! Every loyal servant dreams of becoming a part of their master’s body forever.
That’s the best reward we could ever hope for!” Little Dragon Girl said sincerely, clearly envious of the witch who’d just been devoured.
“…So how about I eat you right now?”
“Really, Master? You’re not joking? Please, eat me now! Let me become a part of your noble body.”
“Uh…” Little Dragon Girl’s excitement made Chen Xing realize she’d taken the joke too far.
Getting eaten by Chen Xing didn’t mean death.
That witch’s body was completely gone, but her soul was like chewing gum—Chen Xing had ‘chewed’ it up.
Once all the sugar (fear) was chewed out of the gum (soul), it lost its flavor.
Now her soul was somewhere inside Chen Xing’s body.
Chen Xing could digest it completely or keep it around, maybe even give her a new body someday.
But either way, once the gum’s been chewed, it can’t go back to how it was.
It’s covered in Chen Xing’s mark now.
So that knockoff witch’s soul was completely changed, no longer who she used to be.
“Alright, you know I need helpers right now.
Once I’ve sorted everything out, I’ll think about whether to eat you or not.”
“Okay…” Little Dragon Girl hung her head in disappointment, her body shrinking like a deflated balloon, turning back into the little girl from when they first met.
