"This journey of mine has truly been full of hardships, like walking on thin ice. Elsa, do you think I can make it to the other side of the river?"
"But, sir, it's only early spring now, the river hasn't frozen over yet. Shouldn't we go find Sister Ella and ask her to cast a spell to freeze this river into solid ice?"
Hearing Elsa's well-aning reply, Beihai was left speechless. No one understood this reference!
If this were posted on a social dia feed, by the next day he'd receive a ton of nicknas. Arriving at work, people would greet him with, "Hey, isn't this 'Thin Ice Bro'?"
Did you make it across? Do you need us to rent a boat for you?
Honestly, this world is really boring, utterly boring!
Sothing must have gone wrong sowhere. Ella, perfectly fine, isn't out seeking her own happiness. This confident and strong girl isn't looking for her white horse prince anymore.
On the contrary, she's now shut herself inside the house, facing a cauldron every day, muttering and mumbling, doing who knows what. Even weirder, every night two crows co here to caw.
Although crows are beneficial birds, having crows perched on the roof of the house at night, cawing and making noise, is really annoying.
The plot has gone completely off the rails. After all this, she's learning magic instead.
"Sothing must have gone wrong in so part? Where's Cinderella? Where's Cinderella? Where did that cute little girl go?"
Beihai was deeply distressed, feeling a bit unlucky. Originally, he wanted to sche for the magic wand, but now the wand still isn't in his hands.
Elsa was licking a lollipop beside him, completely not understanding what Beihai was regretting.
Elsa just felt that this ti they had stayed in this place for a very long ti, longer than any of the previous locations.
How could Elsa understand Beihai's pain?
He had truly helped quite a few protagonists. Regarding their life trajectories, so had happy endings, while others had clearly been altered.
Now Ella seed to have figured things out, throwing herself wholeheartedly into learning magic, no longer interested in n.
Before, she would still fall in love at first sight, then be all lovey-dovey, and when parting, be utterly heartbroken and desperate.
"Really, I think I understand why witches are all single."
"Why is that?"
"Because there's no ti. Absolutely no ti. In a person's life, just learning the things left by predecessors can take up most of one's lifeti.
But if you succeed, or surpass those predecessors, that sense of satisfaction is truly addictive."
Elsa listened, her head in a daze, trying hard to understand. Finally, she clapped her hands and exclaid, "I know! Sir wanted to train Ella into the perfect girlfriend, but failed in the end."
Beihai couldn't hold back. He hadn't taught the child these things. To be precise, he hadn't managed her at all, except for handling her three als a day.
Elsa, who cooked daily, said, "I have no objections."
"Elsa, what have you been reading lately? Who taught you that? Burn all those books! They're forbidden books, slander, they must be punished by heaven!"
"Honestly, who told you these fallacies and heresies? If I really thought that way, why would I send her to the prince?"
Beihai roughly rubbed the little girl's head below him.
"Oww, maybe it's your test."
In the end, a small bump appeared on Elsa's head. She could only wear a hat to cover the bump on her head, her expression full of resentnt.
She was still a child. Learning and such, shouldn't it just be following the person beside her?
Although from observation, Beihai didn't knock on doors; he usually kicked them open, then spoke to people with a gentle face, reasoning with them.
If you were a good person, Beihai's tolerance was very high. He would even help old ladies cross the street, help so widows wash feet, keep watch, and take care of their lives.
Beihai would hold the widows' hands while listening to their hard-luck stories, these orphans and widows truly having a difficult life.
For others whose husbands were sick, Beihai would personally visit to offer condolences, help treat their illnesses, and not charge a single penny.
Elsa once asked why he didn't charge, saying they would feel guilty, even take it for granted.
Back then, Beihai rubbed her little head and gently told Elsa, "Actually, they've already paid."
In Elsa's heart, Beihai had taken their gratitude. How noble was that?
But in Beihai's heart, you don't understand. Look how beautiful their wives are.
I go over, not only get a free al, but also, under the pretext of helping, get to hold their little hands for a while. The husband even kneels to thank . So thrilling!
As for princesses and such, what a joke. Many princesses here are underage.
No wonder Lord Cao Cao liked married won. Those are fully developed, in their pri twenties, flower-like age, and co with an extra buff. Definitely not sothing those unripe fruits can compare to.
Everyone praised Beihai's kindness, making him feel sowhat ashad. After all, he knew very well in his heart what he was doing; he truly didn't deserve the praise.
Turning around and returning to the room, the temperature inside was imdiately higher than outside. In the central cauldron, who knows what was being made, with only Ella's busy figure.
In one hand she held a pufferfish, in the other a gecko.
"The gecko's severed tail, bat's eyes, and this is..."
As one item after another was tossed into the cauldron, Beihai couldn't be bothered to keep watching. He didn't understand this stuff anyway.
Ella also turned her head away. Regarding this kind of magic, she really didn't want to learn it. It always felt like it had a villainous vibe.
Although it was easy to misunderstand, this was actually righteous magic. It wasn't that just because you cooked stuff in a cauldron, you were a villain.
The most typical example would be Uncle from Jackie Chan Adventures. And Ella belonged to this school.
Just thinking about Ella holding a pufferfish in one hand, a gecko in the other, then chanting there, "Demons and monsters, get out! Demons and monsters, get out!" made him almost lose his composure!
"Ahem, Ella, it seems you no longer need my help."
Beihai almost broke character again. Although Ella ending up like this was indirectly his doing.
But now that she's learning magic, how can that stepmother and her two daughters possibly compete with Ella?
That fairy, aside from appearing when Ella encounters sothing she doesn't understand, completely doesn't show up. The plan is completely bankrupt.
"Sir, regarding the path of magic, we truly have nothing to offer."
"Elsa, you shut up, you talk too much.
Ahem, anyway, I have high hopes for you. This ti, I just wanted to say goodbye."
Really, this ti I lost the lady and the soldiers... wait, I don't seem to have suffered any losses.
