Volume 2: Witch Kingdom Arc
Chapter 60: The Sloth Witch
In a castle, the Time Witch sat on a sofa, leisurely reading a newspaper. Sugar cubes floated into her coffee, one by one, as if controlled by an invisible hand. She took a sip.
“You’ve been sitting there for a whole day. Aren’t you going to say anything…?”
“…”
The Time Witch looked at the girl sitting by the window, her silver hair cascading over her shoulders, her golden eyes staring into the distance. She was so still, the Time Witch almost thought she was still under her time stop spell.
“If you’re worried about your safety, don’t be. Although I brought you here, I have no intention of harming you…”
“Where is she…?”
“You mean the little nun? She’ll come for you. She’ll come here.”
The Time Witch put down her coffee. Suddenly, a golden spear pierced her body, so fast that she couldn’t react. The coffee cup fell to the floor.

“Let me go…”
“Why are you doing this?”
Xia turned, her golden eyes emotionless. The Time Witch looked at the spear in her chest, not because she couldn’t dodge, but because she didn’t want to.

“You can’t hurt me with your current strength. If you continue this pointless resistance, I’ll have to seal you in the prison of time again…”
The Time Witch created a small domain around herself, and the spear slowly reversed its path, returning to Xia’s hand.
“By the way, if you don’t want to be turned into dust, you better not attack…”
The Time Witch, as if nothing had happened, reversed time on the spilled coffee, returning it to the cup. Her words were directed at Xia, but also at the figure standing behind her. Doris, who should have been turned into stardust, emerged from the shadows, a look of disdain on her face.
“You think I’d be grateful for being resurrected? I just want to kill you and decorate my castle with your corpse~”
Doris’s killing intent flared, her crimson eyes filled with rage. She had never been so humiliated, being defeated so easily.
“You misunderstand. I don’t need you to serve me. You’re just another bargaining chip…”
“You’re so arrogant!”
[Unique Magic: Crushing Blow]
Doris punched, and the castle shook, another crater appearing. But when she looked again, the castle was intact, the Time Witch still sipping her coffee. Doris realized her attack had been reversed.
“Tsk, if you don’t kill me, I’ll punch you even in your sleep…”
Doris stormed off into a dark corridor and entered a random room. She had tried to escape before, but every time she stepped out of the castle, she was sent back to the living room, like a child being toyed with.
“My dear Master, when will you come and save me, so weak and helpless~”
Doris collapsed onto the bed, her arrogant demeanor gone. She looked at the picture of the loli in her hand, her pink hair and eyes, her cute and playful expression, and felt a sense of calm.
“Damn it, why did I get involved with such a monster…”
…
Meanwhile, Luo Yuxi stood at the door of a room, looking at the girl before her, a familiar bishop’s robe, a gift box in her hands. She didn’t know what to say.
“Congratulations on your promotion. I didn’t come here specifically to congratulate you, I… I was just passing by and bought you a gift. Don’t get any ideas…!”
It was Yuehua Fengyun, the Seat of Mercy. Luo Yuxi was confused by her textbook tsundere behavior. She hadn’t interacted with her much, and she had even felt a hint of hostility from her before.
“Um… would you like to come in…?”
Luo Yuxi stepped aside. Yuehua Fengyun waved her hands, stammering, and Luo Yuxi felt even more awkward.
“Who wants to go into your room?! I just came to give you a gift, so people won’t say I’m stingy. Now that I’ve given it to you, I’m leaving!”
“But…”
Before Luo Yuxi could say anything, Yuehua Fengyun teleported away. Luo Yuxi looked at the gift box, and inside, she found a new nun’s habit, different from the one Ailani had given her, made of gold and silver thread.
“Did Bishop Yuehua Fengyun make this for me? No, no, who would have the time to use gold and silver thread on a nun’s habit~?”
Luo Yuxi entered her room and placed the gift box on the table. Milily was lying on the bed like a lazy fish, red-armored soldiers massaging her.
“I didn’t bring you back to be lazy. You’ve been lying in bed all day…”
“Working is impossible. I’ll have my magic summons do it. They’re not good at fighting, but they’re great at housework.”
Milily rolled over and waved her hand, and two more soldiers appeared, one sweeping, one cooking.
“Did she develop this skill just because she’s lazy…?”
“I don’t want to move.”
Milily pulled the covers over her head, ignoring Luo Yuxi. Luo Yuxi, seeing the soldiers working, couldn’t find any reason to complain. Just then, there was a knock at the door.
