Volume 2: Witch Kingdom Arc
Chapter 61: The Magical Teapot
Luo Yuxi opened the door, but the hallway was empty. She thought she had misheard and was about to close the door when something caught her eye.
“What’s this?”
A gift box sat on the floor. Another congratulatory gift from a bishop? Luo Yuxi wondered who would leave a gift without showing their face. She picked up the box.
“This packaging doesn’t look like a gift. Who left this here?”
She brought the box inside, glancing at Milily, who was sound asleep on the bed. Is she a witch or a lazy fish? She had seemed cute at first, but now she was like a pet.
“Well, her ability is useful, I’ll just have to keep her for now…”
Luo Yuxi looked at the black box. Although it seemed like a surprise gift, the color and the strange way it had appeared made her wary. Is this a prank?
“No one would be that bored, right…?”
Luo Yuxi carefully opened the box. Nothing strange happened. She peeked inside and saw a beautiful tea set.
“Hmm, who sent such a high-end gift? I don’t even like tea. And this teapot is a bit dirty…”
Luo Yuxi took out the teapot, which had a small stain on it. It was made of pure gold, adorned with gems, a luxurious and priceless work of art.
“This is good stuff, it could probably sell for a lot. But the money would be useless to me…”
Luo Yuxi grumbled, wiping the stain with a cloth. Although it was valuable, she didn’t really need it. She had never worried about money since she had transmigrated.
“I can show it off when I have tea…”
“Young maiden, are you the one who awakened me~?”
“Huh? Who’s there?! Who’s talking?!”
Luo Yuxi jumped, startled by the voice. She ran to the bed and shook Milily awake. Milily opened her eyes, confused.
“Ah, who am I? Where am I? What happened? Am I dead or alive…?”
“Wake up, wake up! There’s a strange voice in the room! Help me!”
“I was having a good dream, and you woke me up? There’s no strange voice. Even if you’re my master, you can’t just do that…”
“I’m not lying, there really is a strange voice!”
Luo Yuxi looked at her anxiously. Although Milily wasn’t very reliable, she was still stronger than Luo Yuxi. If they were attacked, she could at least provide some cover. Luo Yuxi looked around nervously as the voice spoke again.
“Young maiden, do not be afraid, I will not harm you~”
“Listen! Listen! The voice is back! It’s like it’s right next to my ear! Quick! Summon your knights or something to defend us!”
“Even if you say so, I don’t hear any strange voices. Besides, summoning soldiers consumes a lot of my magic power…”
“Aren’t you the Legion Witch?!”
Milily pointed at the two soldiers, one cleaning, one giving a massage. The armored soldiers, who should have been on the battlefield, were now doing housework. Milily said with a sigh,
“If you give me magic power, I can create a whole company for you in minutes. That army of millions was borrowed from other witches…”
“But you still have your own strength! Help me check!”
“No, you’re just being paranoid. If you’re in danger, just throw me at the enemy.”
Milily lay back down on her pillow, showing no signs of being a witch. Luo Yuxi sighed, realizing she had been wrong. Milily was useless in a crisis.
“Alright, don’t be afraid. I’m just the teapot in your hand~”
“A teapot? How can you be in a teapot? Are you a fairy?”
Luo Yuxi held the teapot to her ear and heard a faint voice coming from inside. She opened the lid. The inside was pristine. She had thought it was just a fairy who had accidentally fallen in.
“I’m not a fairy. I’m a spirit who has been living in this teapot~”
Luo Yuxi felt the teapot in her hands tremble. Purple smoke billowed from the spout, slowly forming a human silhouette. As the smoke cleared, a green-haired girl with a veil emerged.
Her willow-leaf eyes were adorned with two tear moles, and her bare feet, with bells on her ankles, made a beautiful sound with every step, like a graceful dancer from a foreign land.
“Even teapot spirits are so competitive these days? Why is she a beautiful girl?”
Luo Yuxi looked at her clothes and face. If it weren’t for the golden decorations and murals of the Goddess, she would have thought she was in the wrong place. The girl was like a rose blooming among jasmine, beautiful yet out of place.
“I am the spirit who lives in this teapot. Since you have summoned me~”
“Is it finally happening? Like in the novels, you’re going to grant me three wishes, right?!”
“No, I can answer three of your questions…”
Luo Yuxi’s starry eyes instantly dimmed. She was about to put the teapot back, but the spirit panicked.
“Wait, what are you doing?! Why are you putting me back?!”
“After all that, you can only answer three questions? Don’t you know your predecessors all granted three wishes?!”
“Sob… I want to grant wishes too, but you can do everything I can do. What’s the point of granting wishes…?”
The teapot spirit burst into tears. Luo Yuxi was taken aback. One moment she was fine, the next she was crying.
“You want to conquer the world, or have endless wealth? Even if I could do that, you’re all stronger than me. What do you need me for? I can only answer questions…”
The teapot spirit sat down dejectedly, her colors fading. Luo Yuxi sighed and put down the teapot.
“Three questions it is. It’s not that bad, I guess…”
