Miss Witch’s Devotion Has Gone… Twisted

Chapter 304: Birthday Gift

"Mhm, mhm..."

Luna didn't quite hear what Loren was saying, simply responding to whatever he uttered.

Loren's appearance was somewhat sudden, and she hadn't reacted yet.

"By the way, I should tell you, your mother gave me the key to your room."

As he spoke, Loren showed Luna a key. It was indeed the key to Luna's room.

It's just that when Loren arrived, he didn't open the door directly; he still politely knocked first.

"This..."

Luna's face suddenly flushed red. She seemed to understand why her mother hadn't warned her that Loren was coming. Her mother already saw Loren as one of the family, or rather, wanted to treat Loren as one of them.

Although Luna's mother didn't think her daughter had much of a chance, she would still play the assist whenever possible.

"And also, this is the key to my new house. It's your key too."Before Luna could say anything, Loren placed a new key into Luna's hand.

He wasn't just giving Luna a key to his house; he was treating his house as their shared home.

Realizing this, steam practically billowed from Luna's head. Her speech became even more stuttered as she tremblingly took the key from Loren's hand.

Even after being together for so long, Luna's attitude towards Loren hadn't changed much. Loren didn't have a solution for this either; he could only let her continue to adapt.

"I'll head out first. Your party is tomorrow night, remember to come."

"Okay..."

Luna responded softly, then watched Loren leave.

Loren didn't plan to stay here long either. He was afraid that if he stayed too long, Luna might suffocate.

...

"Master Mentor, you are welcome anytime!"

Luna's mother was extremely enthusiastic towards Loren, dropping various hints that almost bordered on selling her daughter for glory. However, Loren didn't pay it much mind.

After leaving Luna's house, Loren planned to return home. Having waited for Loren for so long, Lilith must be feeling very lonely by now. Loren felt he needed to speed up his progress on researching magic.

Unfortunately, Loren currently had no information on the Sloth Witch. If the Sloth Witch were here, Loren's magic research progress would be twice as effective with half the effort.

Loren had now gathered four of the Seven Sins witches. He was still missing Sloth, Wrath, and Lust. The only one he had any information on was the Lust Witch, but the Lust Witch was not old and was most likely still a child right now. So, the little information Loren had wasn't very useful.

After returning home, Lilith didn't immediately pounce on Loren as she usually did. She remained in place, motionless.

Loren walked over and sat down beside her. Lilith leaned against him. She was still wearing her eyepatch, the black eye beneath obscured by a flower.

"No one here will discriminate against you because of your half-vampire status. You don't have to wear the eyepatch."

Loren stroked Lilith's silvery-white hair as he spoke.

"I'm used to it. Besides, you gave this to me. I want to keep wearing it."

"Alright..."

Loren had no objection to that. If Lilith liked it, she could wear it.

Not long after Loren returned, Mirrorheart came back. She held two gift boxes in her hands. She had helped Loren pick out a gift too.

"What gift did you buy..."

Loren had absolutely zero trust in any gift Mirrorheart selected.

"Don't worry. The gift I chose for you will definitely make Luna very excited when she receives it."

"I'm asking you what you bought."

Loren rubbed his temples. From Mirrorheart's words alone, he could sense it was definitely not something proper. So, he pressed further.

Mirrorheart would unconditionally obey Loren's commands. Whatever Loren asked, she would answer honestly.

"A collar..."

"Who besides you would like something like that!"

Upon hearing what was actually inside the gift box, Loren rapped Mirrorheart on the head.

"Anyway, Anna, Scarlett, and Laila would definitely like it. Naclis might like it too. As for whether Luna likes it, we can try.

"We give her the collar first, then pretend to leave and secretly observe her reaction. If she puts it on herself, that means she likes it. If she seems hesitant, we can bring a little puppy in, pretending the gift was for the puppy and not treating her like..."

"Alright, stop talking."

Loren promptly covered Mirrorheart's mouth. He felt that choosing Mirrorheart to help him pick a gift was a real mistake.

"What's the gift you prepared for her yourself?"

"Just a piece of clothing."

Loren wasn't very convinced.

Mirrorheart would only tell Loren the truth, but the truth could also deceive.

So, Loren simply opened Mirrorheart's gift box. Looking at the outfit that could fit into a pants pocket, he complained:

"Just? I really want to stuff this thing into your mouth..."

Hearing this, Mirrorheart opened her mouth, already prepared. So, Loren could only choose to burn the thing.

"Is Mirrorheart back..."

Just as Loren and Mirrorheart were talking, Anna returned as well. She made a big commotion, starting to make a racket the moment she entered the door.

"What do you need Mirrorheart for?"

Usually, the first thing Anna did upon returning was to look for Loren. This time seemed a bit unusual.

Sure enough, when Loren went out, he saw that besides a gift, Anna was also holding a rabbit in her hands. The rabbit was indeed very cute, and it even had pink fur.

"Did some unscrupulous merchant abuse this little rabbit again..."

Loren had worked in Wildlife Conservation in his previous life, so he was quite fond of small animals. He supported normal slaughter but opposed abuse, unless there was some deep-seated hatred.

As he spoke, Loren took the little rabbit from Anna's hands. The rabbit felt very smooth to the touch and looked quite well-behaved.

"Do you want to keep a pet? Remember to take care of it yourself. Have you given this rabbit a name?"

Loren stroked the rabbit in his hands, turning it over for a closer look. It was a female rabbit.

"I plan to call it Xiao Wu..."

"Ahem, pick another name."

"Hmm... then forget it, no name. Anyway, I bought it back to taste."

"This isn't an ordinary rabbit. The fur color isn't dyed; it's a new breed. I want to taste it."

"Alright, no wonder the first thing you did when you got back was call for Mirrorheart. So you wanted to taste it..."

One could only say, as expected of Anna. Last time Anna encountered merfolk, her first thought was also to taste them.

Hearing there was a new pet in the house, Starnight crawled out from Loren's clothes, looking down at the rabbit in Loren's hands from above.

The moment it saw Starnight, the rabbit suddenly began to struggle, trying to break free from Loren's grasp.

"This strength..."

Loren, holding the rabbit, felt something strange. This rabbit's strength was somewhat too great. An ordinary person wouldn't be able to hold onto it at all.

Simultaneously, upon seeing Starnight, the rabbit's eyes turned blood red, instantly losing all their luster, leaving only madness.
