I'm an Undercover Witch, Not a Bed-Warming Witch!

Chapter 88

88. Preparation

"I don't know either."

Yaoyao's answer made Meng Lian's brain instantly crash.

"Teacher Bai Wei only told me to bring you to Nordlin. She said the answer would find you on its own when the time came."

Yaoyao recalled that morning, her last meeting with Bai Wei.

"Long time no see, Yaoyao."

As a phantom spirit of Nordlin, Yaoyao was attached to the Succubus Cultivation Technique, strictly belonging to the category of artifact spirits, so she could also freely enter and leave Nordlin.

Bai Wei was the first person to bring Yaoyao out of Nordlin. Since Bai Wei had no talent for the Charm Path, the two of them were more like friends.

"Long time no see. What made you think of chatting with me?"

"I just wanted to ask you for a favor."

Bai Wei smiled, and Yaoyao had a bad feeling about it.

"You know my identity, and I know that neither the Alliance nor the witches matter to you, so you're the most suitable candidate."

"I'm leaving soon, and I may never come back. But before I go, there's someone I can't stop worrying about."

Bai Wei stroked the cover of the Succubus Cultivation Technique, her expression complicated.

"She's my student. She has a Charming Heart Constitution, very suitable for learning the Charm Path, so she's also your next master."

"There are many mysteries about her. I suspect she's one of us, but it's complicated, and I can't quite figure out her situation."

"However, I have some guesses in my heart... If she really is one of us, then bring her to Nordlin. I've already placed the answer there."

"How do I judge if she is or not?"

Yaoyao was silent for a moment, then asked.

"If she becomes lost and distracted because of my disappearance, then she probably is."

Bai Wei smiled self-deprecatingly. "Actually, I don't know if she is either. Her name isn't on the list, but her documents... Sigh, anyway, we have nothing to lose, so let's treat it as setting up a piece for later."

Bai Wei told her about the inconsistency with the Andera Galaxy. If Meng Lian really wasn't an undercover agent, then those so-called guesses were just a boring story, and she wouldn't lose anything.

If Meng Lian really was as she suspected, then she could leave a spark for the Alliance, and Meng Lian could learn part of the truth.

"As for the answer, I've already given it to someone we're both very familiar with. Yaoyao, you'll definitely know when the time comes."

Bai Wei winked playfully at Yaoyao. A figure immediately appeared in Yaoyao's mind, which was why she was so eager to return to Nordlin again, wanting to see that person once more.

After listening to Yaoyao's account, Meng Lian fell silent.

If she had really been abandoned, or framed by someone, how could she possibly continue being an undercover witch for the Alliance?

After these past few days, Meng Lian's faith in the Alliance had also wavered somewhat.

Here among the witches, she had Senior Sisters and juniors, high talent, and friends like Gabriel and Jiang Jiang. No matter how she thought about it, becoming a witch seemed better than being in the Alliance.

But her younger sister, Meng Zi, was still in the Alliance, so she couldn't really betray them either.

So Meng Lian was torn. On one side was the Alliance that gave birth to and raised her, where her sister still lived. On the other side were the witches who treated her so well. She didn't know which side to choose.

Meng Lian was lost. She didn't know what to do. She had grown up listening to the stories of her elders. In those stories, witches were a selfish, cruel, and dictatorial race, and she had developed a sense of responsibility to save the Alliance. This was what led her to come here as an undercover agent without even thinking twice.

But now, it seemed the witches weren't that bad, and the Alliance wasn't that good. Her life seemed to have reached a fork in the road. No matter which path she chose, there would be endless regrets.

"Dear, are you done washing? How about I help you wash too?"

It seemed Meng Lian had been in the bathroom for a long time. Tiane knocked on the door worriedly.

Before Meng Lian could respond, Tiane opened the bathroom door, with Tina following behind.

Tiane naturally stepped into the bathtub, facing Meng Lian, while Tina sat in Meng Lian's lap.

"It's okay, dear. Everything is just a dream, everything will pass. We'll always be by your side."

Tiane could tell at a glance that Meng Lian was still troubled. She smiled gently, cupped Meng Lian's small face, and comforted her.

"Tiane... if, I'm just saying if, if I was abandoned by my original home, but there's still someone very important to me in that home, and I've come to a new family that treats me very well, how should I choose?"

Meng Lian really didn't know what to do, so she asked Tiane. Hearing this, Tiane thought for a moment.

"Didn't dear already choose? Between Katya and us, didn't dear choose us?"

Tiane's words made Meng Lian freeze for a moment. Clearly, Tiane had misunderstood something.

Although Katya was her "sister," the other party ultimately loved Yelena, not her, Meng Lian. And Meng Lian had no romantic feelings for Katya in her heart. On the contrary, she even felt a sense of fear.

But Meng Zi was different. She was the sister she would give her life for. To put it bluntly, if not for Meng Zi, she wouldn't be so conflicted right now.

"Actually, I know dear wasn't talking about that. But no matter which one dear chooses, we'll support you. However, if dear is really troubled, why not listen here? Maybe you'll find your answer."

Tiane pointed to the position of Meng Lian's heart. Meng Lian also understood what she meant.

Follow the guidance of your heart.

But how many people in this world could truly follow their heart's guidance? If everyone knew their own thoughts and knew what they truly wanted, then there wouldn't be so much conflict and hesitation.

"Master..."

Seeing Meng Lian caught in this dilemma, Yaoyao also felt bad in her heart.

She seemed to have guessed certain things. She put herself in that position and realized she would be just as lost.

Meng Lian held Tina, resting her chin on the little girl's head, staring blankly into space.

Her heart...

Xiao Zi...

Everything she did was for Xiao Zi, wasn't it? Thinking about it this way, wasn't the answer clear?

Wherever Xiao Zi was, that was her home.

And Bai Wei's so-called answer didn't seem so important anymore.

But all of this was just her own speculation. If that so-called answer found her, if Bai Wei told her that she hadn't been abandoned, that she really was a hidden piece, then all her troubles would cease to exist.

……

"Finally... there's a reaction..."

In the capital of the Blood Spirit Empire, Blood Spirit City, inside a succubus establishment, a white-haired succubus looked at the crystal flashing in her hand, her heart instantly filled with excitement.

Ten years. That person had finally appeared.

The white-haired succubus remembered the scene from ten years ago when her lover bid her farewell.

"Lucia, I have to go. Please help me give this to someone."

"Where are you going? Who should I give it to?"

"I'm going somewhere very, very far away. That person might appear someday in the future. But when she appears, this crystal will flash with light, guiding you to find her."

Ten years passed, and she never appeared again. Lucia waited for ten years.

Unexpectedly, today there was finally a reaction. The light on the crystal formed the shape of an arrow, seemingly guiding her.

"Boss, are there any exciting succubi today? Preferably golden-haired. I'm treating my little sister, don't disappoint me."

At this moment, a silver-haired vampire lolita walked into the shop, followed by a gloomy-faced silver-haired vampire girl. If Meng Lian were here, she would be surprised to discover that the girl was actually Katya.

"Sorry, we're closing early today."

This succubus establishment was quite unusual, only serving female customers, so it was quite famous in certain circles in Blood Spirit City. This vampire lolita was a regular customer.

"Closing? What the hell!"

The little lolita's face was filled with disappointment, while Katya behind her breathed a sigh of relief.

If she didn't need to use this little lolita, how could she possibly come to a place like this?

She could only belong to her big sister.

But the moment she thought of her big sister, and then of those two damned silver dragons, Katya felt like her head was turning completely green.

Big sister, wait until I get the other half of my bloodline, and I'll save you.

Then we'll never be separated again.

……

"Achoo!"

Meng Lian, who was getting dressed at this moment, suddenly sneezed. Seeing this, Tiane immediately asked with concern, "What's wrong? Did you catch a cold?"

"It's nothing, just an itchy nose."

Meng Lian shook her head, not making a big deal of it.

Just then, a knock came at the door, and Carolin's voice rang out.

"Miss Yelena, Her Highness asks if you're all ready?"

They were preparing to head to the Other Shore, that land of evil spirits.
