"I really miss you, Kehan."
Jiang Kehan, who had raised her hand to place it on the other person's head, paused for a moment, then lowered it with a hint of helplessness, but answered the other person's longing with a smile, and put her arms around the other person's waist.
"Of course I'll take you in, sister."
"And... I miss you too, Solita."
The two hugged for a while, but both felt their faces burning, so they tacitly let go of each other and smiled.
Jiang Kehan glanced back at the cats who were still fast asleep, feeling somewhat ashamed. In the end, she didn't have the courage to chat with Solita among the group of drunk cats.
She led Solita out of the tavern and then introduced her with some excitement.
"This will be my real home from now on. If Solita has nowhere else to go, she can live here too."
Solita didn't speak, but looked at Jiang Kehan with a smile, making the other person sweat a little.
Does she really have nowhere to go?
If Solitaire were willing, countless clubs would vie for her, and she could easily regain her original position even if she rejoined the Witch Organization.
What she wanted was more than just a place to stay.
Jiang Kehan didn't know? She knew all too well. But how should I put it? Don't let her seemingly womanizing appearance fool you. When she actually needs to confront multiple people's emotions, she's actually quite flustered and suave.
It's impossible to refuse, but it will take some time to accept immediately.
Even Ai Li'er was actually keeping track of the relationship between the two—Ai Li'er realized that if she really made a move, Jiang Kehan might have to run away to another place to avoid the storm.
They call it self-cultivation, but in reality it's all panic and shyness—in short, they're unprepared (or untrained).
Even with Li Hui, Jiang Kehan's current progress is just a strange one, where they only talk to each other and sometimes hug each other to sleep.
Is she also like Ariel, with high attack and low defense?
No, it's simply that her upbringing from her previous life was too high, which made her somewhat at a loss when it came to premarital contact.
Ariel was once impressed, thinking, "She really is the least witch-like witch, she's just too cute!"
So, Jiang Kehan coughed lightly, took Solita's hand, and responded to the other's heart with such sincerity.
"Well, it's not that I don't understand what Solita is thinking."
She gripped his hand tightly, somewhat domineeringly, and then looked him straight in the eye.
"But although I was prepared to respond directly and accept the somewhat clumsy girl who followed me behind, she still had some stubborn feelings."
"I'm still a little lost."
Jiang Kehan smiled, trying to prove that what she said was true with the warmth of her hands and the slight sweat that was seeping out.
"I want to get to know you and our sincere feelings for a longer period of time."
"That way, I can find my own way to deal with you and others, just like I understand magic."
Jiang Kehan scratched her face, revealing a happy smile, but the natural smile made Solita a little curious about what the other person was thinking.
"Solitaire, because I have felt happiness, I want to work hard so that you can also experience the same happiness as me."
"Although I know it sounds a bit unreasonable, I am enjoying some of the same wonderful love."
"But you can only grasp a corner of my heart, but..."
"This doesn't mean I'll shamelessly accept it and secretly laugh at myself."
Jiang Kehan looked up at the azure sky, as if she could see her and their past stories, feeling no trepidation or hesitation.
"I will try to make up for this unchangeable mistake in my own way, at least to let you all feel my happiness."
Solita looked at Jiang Kehan without saying a word, but instead narrowed his eyes meaningfully and secretly licked his lips where Jiang Kehan couldn't see.
Such a Kehan is too tempting for bad kids.
She couldn't wait to "steal a bite".
After all... Jiang Kehan misunderstood one thing from beginning to end.
As long as Solita stays behind Jiang Kehan, she will be happy forever, and forever greedy.
Chapter 465 Starry Sky Claws
The territory that Wu Yuhan gave to Jiang Kehan as a reward was originally intended as a landing base during the witch wars.
After the Second Witch War, the Witch Organization, which nominally unified the witches, launched this landing base, mainly targeting the space outposts during the witches' external wars, combined with the already mature Witch Tower technology.
It is similar to a specialized witch tower that can operate independently and travel freely between different universes, possessing extremely high potential for modification and strategic value.
Normally, if a witch wants to destroy a universe, she will send a landing base led by a second-stage Great Witch and over a thousand Middle Witches.
First, select a suitable race and subjugate it. Then, tear apart the incorrigible race, along with the entire universe, turning it into shattered space.
Therefore, it is more than enough as Jiang Kehan's mobile territory.
Starry Sky Claws was the name Jiang Kehan gave to her territory.
"But why did you use your paw to point at the cat ball?" Solita asked, slightly puzzled, after listening to Jiang Kehan's explanation.
"I remember that cat balls don't have limbs, right?"
Jiang Kehan smiled mysteriously. She would never say that the "paw" actually referred to henchmen. Every catball that left the Catball Tavern could be considered Jiang Kehan's direct subordinate.
Although the catballs value their companions very much, it's a different story when it comes to other people.
Jiang Kehan was able to learn a lot about things she didn't know before by using the cat ball, thus filling the gaps in her understanding of the world.
At the very least, she needs to know whether what she is protecting has already changed.
"Well, this is a little secret; you'll find out later."
Solita looked at Jiang Kehan with suspicion. The other woman's smile was so strange, as if she had secretly eaten some juicy gossip, and she couldn't help but laugh.
But she just shrugged. After all, if Jiang Kehan was the real criminal, she would only be an accomplice who would never abandon him.
"But this place is really big."
After overlooking this trivial issue, Solita looked at the "Starry Sky Claw," which resembled a giant floating island group, with its main body resembling a crisscrossing mountain range and an octagonal pyramid shape, and was somewhat amazed.
"That's natural. Witches are a very delicate military unit during peacetime. Starting with the middle witches, their daily private territories are similar to those of normal villages."
"Not to mention that the people currently living here are all great witches."
Jiang Kehan said this.
Unlike the era of societies, with the development of technology and magic, witches' need for territory has gradually increased, especially after the absence of threats forced them to live in close proximity to jointly resist danger.
Taking Jiang Kehan as an example, as an alchemy witch, she needs to have a complete set of alchemy facilities, including but not limited to laboratories, botanical gardens, dragon ranches, and... countless production lines for extracting important materials.
So even though she didn't have high requirements for living space, the size of her private territory eventually exceeded that of a normal city and was comparable to that of a large province or city.
Therefore, the entire landing base was indeed very large, and from the ground, it looked like a star about to fall.
Strangely enough, among the Star Claws, the one with the smallest private territory is actually Li Hui, who is currently the strongest—she basically doesn't need anything.
This is a matter of accumulation.
Jiang Kehan had asked, and the so-called difference between the third stage of the Great Witch and the first two stages was actually much greater than she had thought.
Although on the surface, the third stage merely represents reaching perfection without any real qualitative change, but...
The witch's perfection, literally.
Li Hui herself alone is enough to rival a normal universe, including the countless miracles born within it, not to mention that as a former "Sunset," her accumulation far surpasses that of a normal witch.
They can create anything they want simply by hand using their omnipotent magic, which is incredibly cheating.
Jiang Kehan expressed extreme envy.
Her lack of knowledge has become a significant disadvantage, and even though she pesters Li Hui for tutoring every night, her progress is not very high.
In particular, many things are difficult to understand simply by verbal explanation, such as the basic logic of how society operates.
“They seem to trust you a lot.” Solita said, looking at the awkward Farron witches trying to fit into this era, when she mentioned the Great Witch.
Along the way, these originally unrestrained and reckless witches would all offer Jiang Kehan smiles and bows.
What they reveal in their usual demeanor is a sense of contentment, a dependence that seems taken for granted.
This was incredibly contradictory for the great witch who was pursuing her own path, but looking at Jiang Kehan in front of her, Solita felt it was quite...normal.
"Of course!" Jiang Kehan patted her chest and said shamelessly.
“I saved them from the past, no, I redeemed them, so they should trust me.”
Solita shook her head slightly, looking at the Farron Witches who, in her eyes, were still no different from other great witches of this era, and were equally dignified.
No, it's not just that.
"If it were just about saving them, they would only think about repaying you, not about depending on you like this."
"Kehan, you must have done something amazing to fulfill their long-cherished wish."
"They have something that is just as important as their future."
Solita left half a sentence unsaid: That kind of thing is just like Jiang Kehan in her eyes.
"Is that so?" Jiang Kehan looked at Solita, then at the Farron witches in the distance, who were groaning and wailing as they went online to catch up on their lessons, looking rather troubled.
"I just did what I wanted to do."
She smiled and proudly puffed out her chest.
Until yesterday, when the Starry Claw was fully perfected, she had entered the second stage of the Great Witch, which also meant that she could set sail for the brilliant land of witch civilization—the Imaginary Land.
Jiang Kehan admitted that she was greedy and that there were many things she wanted to do.
For example, bringing happiness to Li Hui, Ariel, and the Solita before her, and bringing the most sincere smiles to other witches who care about her.
For example, bringing eternal peace to all witches.
Therefore, she will not be constrained, nor will she stop moving forward.
Jiang Kehan will only move forward, ever forward, to transform this world into the way she wants it to be.
This determination had already been planted when she was struggling to integrate into the witch, and it had been brewing ever since.
This is why she sought out Sonia, who was the White Raven, and pretended to intimidate her, as if venting her past anxieties and turning them into a defiant smile.
However... Jiang Kehan always felt guilty when she thought of the British Empire.
