"I'm the bad woman who deceived you."
Li Hui's damp voice reached Jiang Kehan's ears and touched her heart. For a moment, Jiang Kehan could no longer hold back her grievances and buried her head tightly in Li Hui's shoulder, not wanting her to see her tears.
"You liar! You made contact with me all by yourself. I knew you had ill intentions from the moment you took me to the garden."
You actually... you actually admitted it!
This time we've evened things out, understand?!
Jiang Kehan's heart, which had been restless for the past few days, felt like it had returned to a harbor. She breathed heavily, feeling somewhat reluctant to leave.
How can you give me the medicine every time I want to give up, so that I can keep going?
How could you be so selfish!
I wish you could lie to me for the rest of your life, instead of revealing everything and letting me know again that you don't belong to me.
Li Hui gently patted Jiang Kehan's back, allowing her to wipe away her tears where he couldn't see, because she didn't want him to see her in this disheveled state.
After venting her emotions, Jiang Kehan sobbed softly and murmured, as if she were talking in her sleep.
"Please don't lie to me anymore. Never."
"Yes, I will." Li Hui quietly dried his shoulders, looked earnestly at Jiang Kehan who had raised her head and wiped away the last traces, and made the first promise of his life.
"What's wrong with you two?" Ariel, who had returned to the room, sniffed and felt a familiar smell in the house. She looked at the two of them, somewhat confused.
"Never mind, it's not important anyway. Here, the meat and chocolate you wanted, we'll have something to do after we finish eating!"
Ariel put down the food in her hand, then excitedly pulled out a few small toys from her pocket and proudly spoke.
"I found the portable decoration machine, and the secret badges I bought when I played the guild game before. They're so convenient!"
Jiang Kehan slowly adjusted her mindset and revealed a bright smile, while Li Hui remained unexpectedly silent.
Ariel was truly baffled. For someone who had never been in a relationship, had never been in love, and was obsessed with following celebrities and her career, this question was far beyond her understanding.
Jiang Kehan happily pulled Ai Lier to her side, tore off a piece of meat and stuffed it into Ai Lier's mouth, saying with a smile.
"It's nothing, we just exchanged some apologies, it's normal."
Ariel looked suspicious, but with her mouth stuffed with meat, she could only stammer and couldn't speak, which was rather cute.
Chapter 89 Roundtable Conference
She quickly ate the meat in her mouth, looked at Jiang Kehan with a hint of resentment, her lips moving but no sound coming out.
"Kehan, you can give me hints instead of just stuffing the meat into my mouth. Also, give me another piece."
"Eat up, you little glutton..." Jiang Kehan puffed out her cheeks, tore off another piece of meat and fed it to Ai Li'er, then ate it herself.
It has to be said that the meat that Ariel simply roasted was of very good quality, leaving a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth. Jiang Kehan also ate it in big mouthfuls; she was really hungry.
Especially after crying, all the negative emotions that had been building up inside her were released, making her even more hungry.
Li Hui didn't join in their playful scramble for the chocolate. Instead, she took small bites, letting the rich and bitter nutty flavor linger in her mouth.
Her brows gradually relaxed, and her previously somewhat dazed mind cleared up. She watched their playful antics with a slight smile.
After eating and drinking her fill, Ai Lier patted her belly in a rather unladylike manner, but she was patting Jiang Kehan's belly next to her.
"Bang, bang," it was clear that Jiang Kehan was really full, but her eyes were a little fierce.
She revealed her somewhat sharp little fangs and looked at Ariel's hand warningly.
"Sister, do you believe I'll bite you?"
No, your teeth are big enough to eat the plate, don't bite me.
Ariel chuckled awkwardly, then remembered her business and took out three toy guns, two blank badges, and a mysterious-looking, ancient book from her pocket.
"Heh, let's discuss the interior design style here."
"Hey, these are some small tools my parents used when we were renovating. They can only produce some basic modules, but they're enough for us."
She handed two of the toy guns to the two girls and looked at them with some curiosity, asking them a question.
"By the way, what style of decoration does everyone like?"
Jiang Kehan fiddled with the toy gun in her hand, swiping on the small screen on it, as if she had figured out how it worked.
The gun is filled with special elements that can be transformed into furniture and decorations. Just by selecting one of the modules, you can complete the construction with an absurd "piu" sound, just like in a survival building game.
"It's a very convenient little thing," she nodded, then thought for a moment before replying.
"I like a rustic and mysterious style, preferably with some gold."
"Ancient and rustic?" Ariel pondered, looking at Li Hui, "Then what about Li Hui?"
"Keep it simple, and if possible, try to make it as quiet as possible." Li Hui waved his hand casually, with a hint of complaint, "You should remember the last event we attended, where the other organization turned the lobby into a dance hall, right?"
Ariel's lips twitched. She remembered that scene vividly, mainly because what they were dancing wasn't a formal social dance, but rather the kind of wild, unrestrained dancing you see in nightclubs.
"I remember that on the day the trench collapsed, there were a few necromancers carrying their own graves on their backs and dancing around. That scene was a nightmare for me."
She shuddered; the grave on the necromancer's back was filled with ghosts and foul-smelling mud, dealing massive splash damage and mental damage.
"I've got it!" Ariel's eyes lit up. She opened the toy gun sharing mode, selected one set to show the two of them, and asked, "How about this one?"
Jiang Kehan and Li Hui exchanged a glance, both surprised. They hadn't expected that there would actually be decorations that met their requirements.
They all nodded and then joined the ranks of the renovation experts.
With the witch's quick reflexes and the convenient toy gun, the once cozy basement was completely transformed in no time.
The overall design is somewhat similar to a Western European palace, with delicate patterns painted with gold and other mineral pigments at the junction of the roof and walls, giving it a noble appearance.
However, the walls are a simple gray-white gradient, with other murals carved on them.
The most striking feature is that the original square table has been transformed into a round stone table, inlaid with crystals and gemstones, as well as broken dragon eggshells.
The chairs are attached to the floor and cannot be moved; they are also made of stone and have a very rustic and simple appearance.
"It looks good, it has the feel of a secret society." Ariel was quite satisfied, but looked at the chairs with some trouble in her eyes.
"But why do we have 7 chairs? There are only 3 of us."
Jiang Kehan covered her face and couldn't help but complain, "Isn't it because you're too rich? Only a round table this big would look good in the middle of such a large basement, so naturally there are more chairs."
"Hehe." Ariel playfully raised her hand, skipping over the topic, "Since it's a round table, let's call our society's meetings 'Round Table Meetings'!"
I could almost hear a bunch of Chef Wang's echoes.
Jiang Kehan, having been a seasoned chef in her previous life, naturally had no objections.
The three of them sat down, and Ariel pushed the book to Jiang Kehan, then finished sharing the badges with Li Hui.
"These are a set. The information recorded in the books can be viewed through the badges, and the books can also automatically convert the messages on the badges into text. However, the books have the highest level of access."
"Kehan, as the club president, I'm leaving it to you."
Jiang Kehan carefully held the book in her hands. The book had a unique texture, delicate yet with a slight gritty feel.
"Okay, I'll keep it safe."
Li Hui looked at Jiang Kehan and spoke with a hint of encouragement.
"Then let Kehan chair the first roundtable meeting."
Ariel clapped along to join in the fun, her eyes filled with anticipation.
The first thing Jiang Kehan did was beyond their expectations.
She delegated the president's power to them, transforming the system from a dictatorship into a small council.
“I think I’m not qualified, but with everyone here, I’m confident that I can maintain our association and our second home.”
Therefore, please do not refuse my request!
Jiang Kehan's tone was sincere, but the act of delegating the writing process, which she interpreted as a request, still made the two of them unconsciously scratch their heads.
"Secondly, I would like to set a small goal: all members of the Branch-Binding Bird Society should have a seat in the academy, so please guide me as much as possible!"
I want to keep up with you all!
Seeing Jiang Kehan's earnest gaze, Ai Lier grasped her hand, her smile radiant.
"Of course, we're really looking forward to Kehan joining the academy, right, Li Hui?"
Li Hui's smile was somewhat forced; she couldn't tell whether she wanted Jiang Kehan to successfully fulfill the agreement or to fail.
So she simply chose to give up.
"Of course, if Kehan needs special training, I can accompany you anytime. I can also help you develop suitable tactics based on the opponent's weaknesses."
"Yes!" Jiang Kehan nodded vigorously. Sincerity was something she had learned, and it was the best way to deal with Li Hui.
Hehe, today is my victory.
Jiang Kehan winked at Li Hui, looking somewhat smug.
Chapter 90 Intensive Training and Investment (Two-in-One)
"So, approximately what is your spell list and the amount of mana you have?"
Aier took out a piece of paper, nodded, and looked at Jiang Kehan with a serious expression.
Jiang Kehan's eyes darted around; something seemed off about her spell chart and the amount of magic power she possessed.
Normally, a second-grade little witch, no, a little witch who has just entered school, would know more than 150 kinds of spells, but she only has 15 at most.
And the magic power is even more remarkable, exceeding the Little Witch's upper limit by 123 points, and it is still steadily increasing.
The former made her feel guilty, the latter made her feel proud.
"Haha, don't be surprised, take a deep breath." After giving Ai Li'er a heads-up, Jiang Kehan told her in detail about the spells and amount of magic she knew.
And so, Ariel fell silent.
She couldn't help but gasp, staring at Jiang Kehan as if she were looking at some monster, her face tense, unable to find the words to describe it.
That's ridiculous! It's like a newborn little witch who's already entered her first developmental stage.
“I’m envious.” Ariel said her true feelings without any expression. “My magic power is only a little over 250, while Yana Eli’s magic power is barely 200.”
"However, your spell list is really unbalanced and a mess. By the way, why did you want to learn Alice's infinite gold coin vault?"
This spell doesn't seem like something a dueling witch would learn at all; it's more like something a hunting witch would learn.
