Mystery: But the Witch's Path

Chapter 17 The Witch's Taste Is Really Good

The next morning, Altair was "woke up" by body aches and pains, and it wasn't until he dissolved the medicine Owen gave him in the bathtub and soaked in it that the pain began to subside.

Feeling bored and remembering Anastasia's words, I directly accessed "Light on Yoga" from the "Library" to learn the basics of yoga.

As for how to "manifest," it's very simple: enter the "library" through meditation, and then, by thinking about the knowledge you need, the books inside will move to Altair on their own.

Finally, you can pick up the book and return to the real world. However, energy is conserved; taking the book out consumes one unit of spiritual energy, and the book itself continues to consume spiritual energy while remaining in the real world.

With my current spiritual capacity, I can only take out a book and keep it in the real world for three hours. Any more than that and I risk spiritual exhaustion.

Just as Altair was engrossed in reading, someone took the book. Following his gaze, he saw that Vivian had somehow gotten into the bathtub and was now looking at the book.

Seeing Vivian's current state, Altair asked with a mixture of helplessness and curiosity, "When did you come in? Even though I've become an Extraordinary, I couldn't sense your movements."

Vivian slowly flipped through the book and said, "I just arrived recently. I came in through the front door today and waited in the reception room for a while. Since you didn't come out, I came in by myself. Have you forgotten? Today I'm going to give you a lesson in the occult."

"How did you get this yoga book? It's very interesting. The book is spiritual in nature. Although the knowledge inside is basic, it's no less than the books in the Witch Church's collection."

Seeing Vivian still engrossed in the book "Light on Yoga," Altair said helplessly, "It was given to me by a friend; it's just a temporary loan. The book will dissipate in about an hour."

"The Witch's Church also has books related to yoga?"

Vivian answered the question casually.

"Of course, it is said to have been personally written by Emperor Roselle and given to a saint in the church. The content is about enhancing the body's flexibility, strength, and balance through yoga postures, meditation, and breathing. Of course, the most important thing is to achieve harmony and unity of body, mind, and spirit."

"I was born in the Republic of Intis, which is considered the birthplace of 'yoga'. Basically, most people there practice it, and some people here in Rune also practice it."

"Can I borrow this book again?"

Seeing Vivian's engrossed expression, and thinking that giving the book away wouldn't be a loss for him, he agreed, "Okay, I'll have someone copy a copy for you after I borrow it in a couple of days."

Upon hearing that she could have the entire book, Vivian closed it and put it aside before kissing him.

Altair was taken aback by Vivian's actions and did not respond at first, but when Vivian put her arms around his neck and asked for a French kiss, he could not help but slowly respond.

As Altair pressed his body against Vivian's, Vivian whispered in her ear, "Not here."

As soon as he finished speaking, Altair picked up Vivian and carried her out of the bathroom, while Vivian removed the water stains from her body with spider silk.

..........

The war was unprecedented in its brutality. Despite the enemy's all-out efforts to encircle and annihilate them, they were still no match for Huanglong.

.......

After a morning of learning, Vivian stood next to Altair and said, "I really enjoyed this lesson."

Seeing Vivian's current state, Altair felt helpless.

He thought to himself, "The Emperor was right, the witch's taste is indeed quite good."

I slowly woke up when the sun was high in the sky and sunlight streamed through the window into my bedroom, so bright it was almost blinding.

Altair turned to the side and saw Vivian sleeping. Sweat still clung to her beautiful face, and her chest rose and fell slowly with her breathing.

Perhaps sensing Altair's gaze, Vivian also woke up.

The two looked into each other's eyes without exchanging a word, perhaps they were of one mind, and kissed again.

It wasn't until the fuse of World War II was about to be lit that Vivian intervened, saying, "No, let me calm down."

Upon hearing this, Altair quickly abandoned his resolve to fight again, but his hands and feet were still not clean, and he did not give up the territory he had already occupied.

Looking at Vivian's current state, Altair jokingly said, "I thought you were something special. You're nothing special after all."

Vivian could only protest with her actions, rolling her eyes at Altair and saying, "I didn't expect you to be so capable despite your young age. I'm quite satisfied with that."

Hearing this sentence reminded me of the phrase, "All he does is talk the talk." But Altair wouldn't say it out loud.

.......

To prevent the atmosphere from becoming awkward, Altair tried to start a conversation...

"Vivian, what are your plans for the future?"

When Vivian heard this, she looked at her partner and said, "I don't have many wishes for the future. I just hope to spend the rest of my life peacefully and quietly. But that's a luxury for me right now."

Upon hearing this, Altair looked at Vivian and noticed her troubled expression, as if she had something to confide in her. He said directly, "Actually, if there's something you can't say, you can tell me, so I can help you solve your problems."

Perhaps because of this statement, Vivian slowly said, "My family was originally a noble family in the Intis Empire, but it declined due to Rosell's reforms. After Rosell was killed, people from my great-great-grandfather's generation wanted to restore the family's glory."

"But a century of effort was still in vain, until my father found a 'witch' who had once received help from the family. In exchange for the oath she made to the family, she guided my father into the witch's cult and became her husband, and that's how we came to be."

"Perhaps my father didn't want his own tragedy to happen to me, so the education I received from a young age was to deny my own gender and to take magic potions at a very young age."

When I was six years old, my father became my second "mother". My first mother was not close to me because of a deal.

........

This story deeply moved Altair. A fallen nobleman, in order to restore his family's glory, made a deal with a witch. In order not to make things difficult for the child, he directly subjected him to gender-distorted education.

This problem has left Altair at a loss for how to resolve it. He patted Vivian on the back and said, "I'm here for you. With me by your side, no one will bother us."

Feeling the warmth on her back, Vivian nodded slightly.
