Chapter 370 : Chapter 370

Chapter 370: Giving In... Failed?

"Big Sis Bai, that outfit you were wearing earlier... was really suggestive."

After leaving, I immediately started teasing Big Sis Bai, but one thing was certainly true: the outfit given at graduation was indeed very suggestive.

Although it was an advanced alchemy item, wearing it felt as if the fabric was barely there, yet if you said there was too little fabric, it was the type that covered everything.

"Is that so? As long as Little Han likes it, that's good. I originally thought such a boring thing was meaningless."

"Eh?"

Seeing Big Sis Bai comment so plainly, instead of the anticipated shy look of Big Sis Bai blushing and complaining about the outfit, I instantly felt disappointed.

"Originally, this photo album wouldn't be issued to anyone other than the graduate, but if Little Han likes it, I can apply for a second copy for you. After all... you were in the pictures too."

"Eh! Is that... really okay?"

Hearing Big Sis Bai say that, I immediately recalled the bold and unconventional poses from the shoot earlier, and even my heartbeat instinctively quickened.

I didn't interfere with this physical instinct.

After all, this physical abnormality brought me a unique spiritual pleasure.

"Of course, it's fine."

"Mhm, then I won't be polite."

I felt Big Sis Bai's hand stroking my head, running through my hair, and smoothly down my back.

But I knew some questions still needed to be asked at this moment.

"Big Sis Bai... are you leaving tomorrow?"

"Mhm. I can't let the Primal Witch Lord wait too long."

"Eh? Primal Witch... Lord?"

My eyes widened.

I hadn't expected Big Sis Bai to have this connection with the Primal Witch!

"Little Han, you're mistaken. Actually, everyone who achieves Transcendent Witch status must go through the guidance of the Primal Witch to register their witch identity at the Witch World's Great Library."

"I see. I thought, how could Big Sis Bai be so amazing as to connect with the Primal Witch."

Hearing Big Sis Bai's explanation, I was instantly relieved.

"But... I heard the outside world, the Void, is infinitely vast, and there's more than just our one Witch Academy. If every person who advances to Transcendent Witch has to register... wouldn't that Primal Witch Lord be incredibly busy?"

"I also had this question initially. I thought I'd have to wait in line for an unknown amount of time, but my mentor told me that the one helping me register is an avatar of the Primal Witch Lord. It is rumored that every being who advances to Transcendent Witch will be sensed by the Primal Witch. At that time, the Primal Witch will split off an exclusive avatar for that Transcendent Witch to guide them to the Witch World, no matter how harsh or perilous the environment in the Void, it's considered to be without fail."

"An avatar, then that's not... Wait, an exclusive avatar... then the Primal Witch's avatars must be..."

"Yes, no one knows how many avatars the Primal Witch Lord has, just as no one can count how many witches there are in the Void."

As Big Sis Bai said this, a trace of admiration flashed in her eyes—the most primitive form of reverence a member of a transcendent race has for their racial origin.

"That's... truly terrifying to think about."

"Mhm. If the Primal Witch wasn't powerful, how could she provide a safe haven for all witches in the Void?"

"Well that's true, but that's too far away for us. Let's focus on the present. What else does Big Sis Bai want to do while she has the chance?"

"Do something else... hm..."

Bai Yu was stumped by my question.

"If you haven't decided, a casual stroll is fine too."

I hooked my arm into Big Sis Bai's, affectionately leaning close to her side.

As I got close to Big Sis Bai, I could feel her body stiffen for a moment, but she covered it well.

It seemed Big Sis Bai couldn't handle my actions either.

"Little Han, you feel strange today. Did something happen?"

"Strange? I think I'm fine. Maybe... feeling that Big Sis Bai is leaving makes me genuinely realize how important you are to me..."

"Am I that important to you?"

Hearing my words, a smile appeared on Bai Yu's face, and her slightly awkward hands seemed to find their place at this moment.

She gently pulled away from my embrace, then reached behind me, her arm brushing against my cape, and her palm lightly rested on my other side.

Every step of her movement was cautious, as if she was afraid I might struggle and swat her hand away at any moment.

And I smiled, waiting for Big Sis Bai to be more proactive.

As we walked, I felt Big Sis Bai's shy movements through the layer of clothing, until the action was fully completed.

"You're the one who initiated this, Big Sis Bai."

I pressed my hand against Big Sis Bai's on my other side, palm to back of the hand, making her embrace me tighter.

"How is it, does it feel good? Honestly, Big Sis Bai, if you don't take the initiative, you don't know how many benefits you're missing out on."

"Initiative..."

Big Sis Bai looked at me complicatedly at this moment.

"I thought Little Han was a boy before... you'd be more proactive..."

"But I'm a girl now. Seriously, think about it, since that time, I wonder who was the one whose friendship with me turned 'off-color' first!"

"Eh? Little Han, you knew all along?!"

At this moment, a sense of being exposed and embarrassed rushed over Bai Yu.

She thought she had concealed it well.

"Well, I know now I didn't pay much attention originally, but looking back now, if I still couldn't tell... that would be too much. So Big Sis Bai, you did have feelings for me, right?"

I spun around, breaking free from Big Sis Bai's arm, and stood in front of her, walking backward towards her.

I teased her in a playful tone while observing her expression.

"Little Han, are you... are you trying to trick me into talking?"

"But Big Sis Bai, you do have feelings for me, right?"

"I never admitted it."

"But you didn't deny it just now! And you personally admitted that your friendship with me turned 'off-color'!"

"I didn't say it turned into love."

"Look... didn't you just give yourself away?"

"Yes..."

Big Sis Bai let out a self-mocking laugh, then suddenly seemed to have made some kind of decision.

Boom—

Big Sis Bai's body pressed close.

The sudden change in momentum made me momentarily stunned.

My body instinctively recoiled until my back abruptly hit a hard wall.

One of Big Sis Bai's hands was braced right beside me.

Was I... being wall-slammed by Big Sis Bai?

After the initial daze, the unintentional panic in my eyes gradually turned into delight, and the smile on my lips was impossible to suppress.

After coming to my senses, I blinked.

The near-dissipated panic intensified a bit at this moment.

"Big... Big Sis Bai... what are you... what are you going to do?"

"Oh? Little Han, you can panic too? Weren't you the one teasing me all along?"

"I... I..."

I was completely plastered against the wall at this moment, as if cornered with nowhere to escape, feeling the warm breath from Big Sis Bai's breathing hitting my face.

This was a sensation I had never experienced, a mixture of heart acceleration and complete immersion.

At this moment, this was still a public area.

Although not many students came here, a pair of senior students passing by just now cast their gazes in this direction.

They were talking and laughing, yet didn't find this strange, as if it were a common occurrence at Witch Academy.

"We... we've been seen..."

I whispered softly.

"Hm?"

The momentum Big Sis Bai had built up for a long time broke at this moment.

A flicker of panic crossed her eyes, and her movements were no longer as forceful as before.

"Sorry, Little Han..."

"Wait, is that it?"

I looked at Big Sis Bai's hand about to withdraw, and the lingering desire was finally no longer concealed.

"Big Sis Bai, don't you think you missed a lot of steps just now?"

"Sorry, that was an impulse. Perhaps I haven't adapted to advancing to a witch yet... my actions were a bit too rash..."

"No... Big Sis Bai, you spent so much effort, studied for so many years, struggled so hard just to advance to a witch, and now that it's all accomplished... don't you want to... take it a step further?"

"Alright, Little Han, um... didn't you say you wanted to go for a stroll earlier? How about I take you out to play?"

"Don't change the subject, hey..."

I instantly regretted saying that earlier.

Big Sis Bai was already a Transcendent Witch; why was she still so concerned about what others thought?

It was just being seen by someone, wasn't it?

The people who saw us didn't say anything.

"How about I cover all expenses today? Consider it compensation..."

"Compensation?"

I really wanted to point at Big Sis Bai's head and ask her if monetary compensation could truly make up for a confession!

The posture just now, it was clearly meant to aggressively confirm our relationship!

All the build-up, all the clarifications, all the atmosphere... it was all gone in this moment... Fine, fine... I guess I was overthinking it.

"Sigh..."

I let out a heavy sigh, reorganizing my emotions.

"What's wrong, Little Han? Why the heavy sigh?"

"I'm truly defeated by you, Big Sis Bai... Alright then, considering you're covering all expenses tonight, I'm going to spend you into bankruptcy today!"

"Good, good, good. Then let's go."

Big Sis Bai returned to her usual self, speaking in a pampered tone.

With this vow declared, our first stop was naturally to find an interesting place.

But what I hadn't expected was that, at Big Sis Bai's recommendation, the place we ended up at was within the jurisdiction of a Witch's Secret Realm.

Witch's Secret Realm.

Graduated seniors always leave various surprises for their underclassmen who haven't graduated yet.

Besides the Trial Secret Realms, there was another type of special Secret Realm called a Park Secret Realm, because it contained no trials, only pure entertainment facilities.

These were large amusement parks added by graduated witches for Witch Academy!

As the first such Witch's Secret Realm was accepted by the academy, such realms were categorized separately and operated independently, becoming semi-open entertainment venues.

Therefore, entering naturally required purchasing tickets, and these tickets were not cheap.

After all, they were for entertainment, and the foot traffic was high, so maintenance costs were naturally very high.

When Big Sis Bai accompanied me inside, it felt like entering a brand new world.

Looking into the distance, the amusement facilities established in this valley all seemed incredibly thrilling.

After all, this was an amusement park for witches, so the pursuit was naturally exciting, stimulating the 'daredevil' factor within the witch body in the most direct way.

Just by briefly looking at the attractions, I saw things similar to those in my past life, such as a roller coaster, which zoomed down from a towering peak, skimmed low, and then went into a freefall after detaching from the track... Another example was the water park facing the sea, where a man-made tsunami several meters high rolled in from the distance, and from afar, I could still see people surfing beneath the giant wave before it crashed onto the people playing by the shore.

These facilities felt like they could never be operated in my past life, yet here, they were considered commonplace.

Moreover, I could see groups of girls walking together.

Their behavior was intimate, and they constantly flirted with and chased one another...

Then I looked at Big Sis Bai, who was like a block of wood, not even knowing how to flirt.

"Little Han, what do you want to play?"

"Of course... I want to try everything!"

With my loud declaration, Big Sis Bai had no objections.

"Let's go. We'll go on the roller coaster first. I've never ridden one before!"

I said excitedly, pulling Big Sis Bai's hand.

After all, I had never been to an amusement park in my past life either.

I had never ridden a roller coaster, never bungee jumped, and never sat on a Ferris wheel at night, enjoying the night sky from the highest point...

But here, at this moment, I experienced them all.

And crucially, Big Sis Bai was with me.

I had never released my emotions like this before.

I had never screamed and let out my voice like this.

This was the first time I felt exhausted after releasing myself, an extreme contrast brought by spiritual satisfaction and physical and mental fatigue.

Those thrilling and exciting activities constantly triggered the suspension bridge effect, making the deep-seated emotions I had for Big Sis Bai completely erupt at this moment.

I had never realized the importance of Big Sis Bai in my heart as much as I did now.

I felt... I couldn't leave her anymore...

"Little Han, how was it? Are you satisfied?"

"Mhm! Mhm! I'm happy!"

I instantly lunged into Big Sis Bai's arms.

It would have been even better if Big Sis Bai would also flirt back, like those other couples.

"Since you've pretty much released all your energy, how about we go have dinner?"

"And after dinner?"

I asked reluctantly.

"After dinner, I'll take you somewhere else to stroll. I'll take you to experience the fun of shopping. Little Han, your old clothes should probably be replaced, shouldn't they?"

"Eh? Big Sis Bai, you knew too?"

"Of course. After all, Little Han's body changed so much, it's definitely not enough."

"That's right, the size isn't enough. Does Big Sis Bai like this?"

"Of course. I like Little Han no matter what you look like."

Leaving the Witch's Secret Realm, Big Sis Bai took me to dinner.

It was none other than Senior Yisha Yuan's place.

After all, Big Sis Bai also wanted to say goodbye to this senior while she was there.

Late at night.

Usually, at this time, I would have already fallen asleep, but now I had no trace of drowsiness.

Walking on the streets at night, I truly experienced the nature of the night-crawling beings at Witch Academy.

The night was the beginning of the witches' nightlife.

Big Sis Bai and I were both carrying large shopping bags.

It wasn't that we didn't have storage equipment to hold them, but carrying them felt better.

Of course, a lot of things were also stuffed into the storage equipment.

Everything was bought by Big Sis Bai for me—things I needed, things I didn't need; it seemed she bought everything.

I don't even know how much she spent on this trip.

I'm a little afraid I might have actually spent Big Sis Bai into bankruptcy... Now, no amount of repayment would be enough for Big Sis Bai.

"Big Sis Bai, are we getting ready to go back?"

"Mhm. Little Han, I can tell you're very tired. Even though you're a Self-Awakened Body Cultivator, your energy is limited. You were truly wild today."

"Alright, alright... Sigh I am tired. I never thought I'd get tired from playing."

I put the things in my hands into my storage equipment.

But it wasn't the pom-pom storage equipment that Teacher Ji Niang gave me before.

It was a storage hair accessory with a much larger internal space that Big Sis Bai gave me.

The hair accessory was shaped like a four-leaf clover.

Here, the four-leaf clover also represented luck, symbolizing my hope to get rid of the Curse of Misfortune soon.

In fact, it was just her wish that I could quickly become a Transcendent Witch.

"Then I'll walk you back. After a rare moment of relaxation, you also need a good rest. Be careful not to oversleep tomorrow."

"Walk me back? No, don't!"

Hearing Big Sis Bai's words, I instantly stopped.

"I want to go back with you, Big Sis Bai, to your place! Even if I oversleep, I want to oversleep in your bed!"
