Chapter 60: 059 The Sliding and Ga of Emotions Chapter 60: 059 The Sliding and Ga of Emotions “Oh my god~~” Chen Shuyun stared blankly at the door, recalling the scene she had just witnessed with a look of doubt clouding her face. She swallowed and listened intently for any sound coming from inside the room.
After returning from Lin An’s ho last ti, she oddly felt that the Suppression Witchcraft her sister had used on her had beco sowhat strange. Not only had her nightmares about ‘a swirling vortex of iridescent white light engulfing her’ finally ceased, but she also experienced problems with her spellcasting.
For minor witchcraft, it had beco especially easy, but for larger spells, it was as if an indescribable net was limiting her ability to cast them.
Overall, it actually didn’t feel too bad; at least she didn’t have to endure pain with every little spell she attempted.
Having figured this out over the past couple of days, Chen Shuyun had been wanting to apologize to Lin An.
About that night’s events…
Moreover, she had taken his work and couldn’t return it because it involved her sister…
All in all, she was quite conflicted. She took a taxi to Lin An’s neighborhood, used witchcraft to bypass the security guard and avoid being captured by surveillance caras, and arrived at Lin An’s doorstep with so trepidation.
But she was utterly shocked when she stepped out of the elevator.
She could feel her sister’s presence in Lin An’s ho again!
And it was the presence of her sister casting spells!
Oh no, she hadn’t inadvertently hard Lin An, had she? With this thought, she could no longer care about anything else and rushed over, using witchcraft to unlock the door. What she saw was a “battle” that was quite different from the one she had envisioned.
Um, this kind of battle scene was a little too stimulating.
Chen Shuyun blinked, allowing the surge of emotions within her to settle, and then heard a soft whoosh of flas burning from inside the room and quickly pushed the door open once more.
She saw her sister transford into a fireball, flying out of the window.
And there was Lin An, clutching his chest and frowning towards the window.
Just now, rage had coursed through him, making him lash out at Chen Xinmi, yet his mind managed to remain clear. His intellect, enhanced by spirituality, allowed him to observe that Chen Xinmi seed to be using a vibrating technique to shatter the emotions of anger crystallizing in his heart.
Furthermore, it changed multiple tis.
When snapping her fingers, it seed to be the influence of sound on emotions, when striking with knuckles, it was the physical impact with an offensive effect on emotions, but the final act of transforming into fire and pushing him away appeared to be the true form the witchcraft should take, as the effect was the best.
This thod of shattering emotions was incredibly useful.
If he wasn’t mistaken, this might even be a technique for interrupting soone else’s spellcasting.
He would have to ask Miao Miao how to use it another day.
“You… you’re okay, right?” Chen Shuyun’s voice had a uniquely gentle timbre.
Lin An, with a pained expression, certainly didn’t look okay. She hurriedly entered the room and crouched down, extending her hand, only to see Lin An reflexively shrink back.
“I… I can heal you,” Chen Shuyun tried to sound as sincere as possible. “I often went with Shasha to heal people… injured by my sister… um, I an to say, I’ve learned so healing witchcraft from her.”
Lin An indeed felt terrible.
His chest, where Chen Xinmi’s slender fist had struck, felt as though it had been hamred by a sledgehamr, especially since this unique force ca with reverberations.
The pain ebbed and flowed as if a man with a hamr was incessantly striking him—80! 80! 80!…
From his ribs to his heart, the pain was intense.
He watched Chen Shuyun warily, but seeing her crouched in front of him making her best effort to smile, he fell silent for a mont and released his hand.
Chen Shuyun’s hand looked very white, so white it seed to glow.
Oh, it was indeed glowing, a faint white radiance touching his chest, spreading a briskly cool sensation rapidly.
The pain quickly dissipated into nothing.
This feeling, Lin An had experienced once before, when the witch Shasha had treated him—it was the sa cool sensation, which felt quite magical. (Chapter 23)
Witchcraft, truly a Super Dinsional magic, could instantly heal bodily pains and injuries.
He was surprised and tried to stand, but Chen Shuyun quickly stopped him, “Take it easy. I’m not as skillful as Shasha. You need to let your body rest a bit and then slowly get up. That’s the only way you’ll fully recover.”
Lin An nodded, looking at Chen Shuyun who was so near, and furrowed his brows slightly. “Thank you, but may I ask what brings you to my ho this ti?”
He tugged at the corner of his mouth, pointing outside the window, “Your sister was really here this ti, but she just left.”
Chen Shuyun appeared sowhat hesitant with an indecisive deanor.
Then, she suddenly stood up, pulled out a bank card from her pocket, and bowed deeply with hands held high presenting the card.
“I’m sorry!”
She shouted forcefully, even though her voice still sounded soft, “I… I ca to apologize!”
“I shouldn’t have broken into your house, I shouldn’t have threatened you, shouldn’t have used witchcraft on you, and shouldn’t have taken your painting!”
“But I… I… I cannot return that painting to you, so I wanted to offer you so form of compensation.”
“I asked around, and I heard you took a loan for your house, so I took out all my savings. Maybe this can help you, please accept it!”
So that’s how it is…
Lin An silently retracted the red string he had just secretly swirled around his arm and also withdrew from the ‘Spirit Cat State.’ He then observed the bank card presented before him with so bewildernt.
“What?”
Chen Shuyun lowered her head, looking especially serious, “I don’t know what I can do to compensate you. This is all the money I’ve saved since I opened my yoga studio in Shenhou City after graduating. Although it’s only a little over a million, it’s all the money I have.”
Down to the last cent, she didn’t even feel right keeping any for herself.
A little over a million!
Lin An gasped in surprise. Is running a yoga studio that lucrative?
This woman looked about the sa age as himself; how could she have earned so much so young? It was downright envy-inducing.
But…
He felt that if Chen Shuyun was compensating him, he could accept it without any guilt.
Yet it seed as though an opportunity had presented itself in his predicant…
Lin An sharply sensed the opportunity!
Looking at the earnest Chen Shuyun in front of him, his eyes suddenly lit up, “Take your money back. I do have sothing I need your help with, though.”
“Hmm?” Chen Shuyun looked up blankly at him, and when she saw Lin An starting to stand up, she quickly walked over to help him, waiting until he was seated before asking, “What is it?”
Her face was full of suspicion, but it seed as if she realized sothing, and her expression gradually beca serious, “You’re not going to ask to help you with my sister… are you?”
Hiss~
As she thought about it, she suddenly took in a sharp breath. For so reason, she imagined a scenario where suddenly, a man was in her ho, and in the morning, this man would erge from her sister’s room, cheerfully greeting her with, “Good morning, dear little auntie…”
“No, no, no!” She waved her hands sowhat frantically.
Lin An looked at her, perplexed, “What sister?”
“Ah? It’s not that?” Chen Shuyun breathed a sigh of relief but suddenly beca wary again. Refusing to take the money and asking for help instead—could it an that the favor he needed was even more difficult than earning a million?
She instinctively took a step back, accidentally bumping into the wall, and jumped in fright, quivering, “You… tell first?”
This woman…
She seed rather neurotic.
It wasn’t just this woman; Chen Xinmi also gave him a feeling of being emotionally unstable. Is this what witches are like? Is this… what I will beco in the future?
Lin An sighed, “Chen Shuyun, even if we leave out the incident when you ca to my house last ti, the fact that you awoke into a witch without my knowledge is also not right.”
He glanced at the huge white serpent coiled next to Chen Shuyun, noticing how it went from a ferocious, wary pose to a timid and shrinking one, acutely aware of Chen Shuyun’s characteristics that were close to witch-ghoul transformation.
Emotions tend to slide to various extres.
This was a mirror, but also a leverage point.
Chen Shuyun pursed her lips, her left hand vigorously twisting the fingers of her right, and spoke weakly, “Well, even if witches don’t awaken, they will still accumulate emotions in secret and eventually turn into sorcerer zombies. But I know many people would rather live in the mont, not wanting to confront the reality their identity brings…”
“That’s not the point!” Lin An interrupted her defense, looking at her seriously, “I don’t want to beco a witch, nor do I want to be part of the supernatural world. I just want to lead an ordinary, commonplace life.”
Chen Shuyun lifted her head, staring blankly at him.
Lin An appeared calm, expressing his thoughts without agitation but with firm conviction, “I’m an orphan, and life has always been tough for . The ordinary life that many find unimpressive is what I have long yearned for.”
“You see this house…”
Lin An surveyed the room, a hint of a smile on his face, “It’s not big, but this is my ho, mine!”
“I finally have a ho and a well-paid job. There’s more ahead of , waiting for to work towards and achieve.”
“I don’t crave supernatural powers. You may not understand, but since coming into contact with such powers, all I wanted to use them for was to help with my job, not to do whatever I please.”
And now, all the predicants are because of you!
The sincere words clearly had a profound impact on Chen Shuyun, a witch in such an emotional state. Chen Shuyun could hardly bear the gleaming eyes of Lin An as he spoke of his longing for a beautiful life, and she looked down again.
“I don’t want to be a witch!”
“But now I have no choice but to beco one!”
“I have to deal with my suddenly volatile emotions, suppressing all kinds of urges. Chen Xinmi told that I need to join a Witch Organization to find ways to manage my emotions.”
“But I really don’t want to be a witch. I know that no matter which Witch Organization I join, I’ll never be able to return to the ordinary life I’ve longed for, and that is more distressing than death to .”
“Can you understand how I feel?”
Chen Shuyun, with her lips pressed tightly, lifted her head, looking silently at Lin An, and said softly, “I’m sorry, I’m really sorry…”
Her eyes brimd with tears as she kept repeating the apology.
Right then, a faint brownish-yellow figure appeared in the corner of the room, a squirrel the size of a fist, with its little paws clutched around its knees, crying softly.
The large serpent suddenly awoke, flicking its tongue, and slithered towards the squirrel.
The squirrel beca alert, staring at the big snake, trembling.
Interestingly, as Chen Shuyun muttered apologies, the path between the large snake and the squirrel seed to grow longer and longer.
