No one knew how much time had passed.
Su Yun slowly opened her eyes.
She felt as if her body had undergone a complete transformation.
The eye and limbs she had lost had all grown back anew.
Not only that, but a fluffy, soft tail had appeared behind her, and a pair of furry little ears now poked up from the top of her head.
However… she had also lost the good brother who had accompanied her through two lifetimes.
Though she couldn’t see these changes,
She could feel them clearly.
It was as if eyes had grown all over her body.
Not only that, but she also saw a line of information.
【Level: 1】
【Name: Su Yun】
【Race: Unknown】
【Master: Mo Qingqing】
Just like in a game.
Su Yun fell silent for a while, then reached out and gently tapped the eggshell before her.
“Crack.”
The eggshell shattered in response, and faint golden light shone through the cracks.
Sunlight, long missed, gently spilled onto Su Yun’s body through the broken opening, carrying the fresh scent of grass and trees.
“…It’s a bit cold…” Su Yun shivered softly.
Her body had become extremely sensitive, and she could clearly feel everything around her.
Including the magic she had barely ever touched before.
The new sensations filled her with joy.
It had been so long since she felt so comfortable.
She slowly broke all the eggshell and stepped out, only to find herself in a messy room.
Wrinkled magic scrolls were piled on the dark velvet carpet, gilded books stacked haphazardly on a low cabinet, colored potions in glass bottles cast shimmering light, a few feathers and half a breadcrumb lay scattered in the corner, and the only decent thing was the down mat under her feet—snowy white, fluffy, and as soft as a cloud.
“So messy…” Su Yun couldn’t bear it, and also wanted to show herself a little.
So she walked over to the nearby “garbage heap” to start tidying up.
After a while, Su Yun managed to clear out one corner.
Just as she straightened her back to relax a bit,
She suddenly saw Mo Qingqing sitting on the sofa behind her, jotting something down.
Long, deep purple hair fell over her shoulders like silk, the ends tinged with faint silver, shining coolly under the light. Her deep red eyes were like ice-hardened gems, staring straight at the black-covered notebook in her hands.
She wore a loose white nightgown, its collar and cuffs embroidered with fluffy little white rabbits, the cute designs sharply contrasting with her cold and beautiful features.
Su Yun: “….”
“Scritch, scritch…”
“Oh? You finally noticed me?!” Mo Qingqing gently closed her notebook, her fingertips tapping softly on the cover.
“…Master…” Su Yun hesitated for a moment, swallowing the pride left from her previous life, lowered her eyes, and called out softly.
“You know I’m your Master? I thought you’d forgotten.” Mo Qingqing’s tone was a bit cold, her red lips parting gently, her voice like snow falling on glass.
“I… I haven’t…”
At those words, Su Yun suddenly felt cold all over, her body trembling slightly with fear, her blue-pink tail curling unconsciously by her side.
“….Lie down.”
Mo Qingqing lifted her pale hand, her slender fingertips supporting her smooth, white face, her long lashes casting faint shadows beneath her eyelids, her exquisite face betraying no emotion.
“….”
“Yes….”
“Thud….”
Su Yun knelt down, her knees sinking into the soft carpet, slowly stretching out and lying flat before Mo Qingqing, her ears drooping, tail pressed tightly against the floor.
Years of hellish wandering had long since broken her pride.
Once she called out “Master,” she had completely given up on so-called dignity.
“Heh.” Mo Qingqing finally showed a trace of a smile, her lips curving in a cold arc.
She lifted her soft, white foot, her ankle slender, and gently rested it on Su Yun’s back.
“I am your Master from now on. Your soul, your body, everything you are belongs to me.”
“Without my permission, you are not allowed to make any decisions on your own. Otherwise… heh, you wouldn’t want to find out what happens.” With that, she withdrew her foot and gave Su Yun a light kick.
“Continue what you were doing before. Not just here—tidy up outside as well. When you’re done, tell me where everything’s been put.”
“Yes…” Su Yun no longer cared if she was clothed or not, scrambling up to start cleaning.
Mo Qingqing propped her chin in her hand, watching, a thoughtful gleam in her deep red eyes.
Su Yun quickly finished tidying this room.
Only then did she realize this was actually a bedroom!
A bedroom of over 60 square meters.
Much larger than the average rental she’d had in her previous life!
There was no time to marvel. She pushed open the door.
But the scene that greeted her made her delicate, adorable face scrunch up.
A mess!
In the living room, the oak table was piled with lab equipment and scattered papers, several dark robes were draped over the sofa, vine potted plants in the corners were entwined with stray ribbons, and though the floor was clean, there were heaps of sundries everywhere—so cluttered there was barely room to step. It was so chaotic she didn’t even know where to start.
She glanced back at Mo Qingqing, then at the living room again.
Her small head just couldn’t figure out how such a beautiful witch could have such a messy home.
“Why are you looking at me?” Mo Qingqing asked with some displeasure, frowning slightly.
“No, no, no… I, I just wanted to ask… if I accidentally step on something, could you not get angry?” Su Yun replied hurriedly in a small voice, her ears flattening against her head.
“Just don’t step on open books or instruments, the rest is fine. I’ve used cleaning magic in this house, so at least the floor is clean.” Mo Qingqing said blandly, her eyes sweeping over the clutter with no emotion.
Then why not use organizing magic!
Su Yun felt a bit helpless.
You can clean, but not organize?
That’s seriously unbalanced.
Still, no matter how much she wanted to complain,
Su Yun didn’t dare stop her hands.
No one knew how much time had passed.
Su Yun finally finished cleaning here.
Her two arms trembled uncontrollably, fingertips turning white, sweat beading on her brow.
Pain lanced through her sensitive body at every moment.
“Master… I’m finished cleaning…” Su Yun returned to Mo Qingqing’s side, her voice tinged with exhaustion, speaking softly.
“…” Mo Qingqing glanced at Su Yun’s trembling hands, then at the sweat-dampened hair at her forehead.
Is she pretending to be pitiful?
She didn’t believe that a body imbued with Life Law could be tired out by this little bit of work.
A flicker of irritation rose in her heart.
She hated fake people the most.
“The basement isn’t done, the library isn’t done, the garden isn’t done, the second floor isn’t done… And, give me a bowl of blood.”
With that, a coldly gleaming dagger and a white porcelain bowl appeared out of nowhere in front of Su Yun, the rim of the bowl inlaid with delicate silver patterns.
Su Yun stared at the dagger for a moment, then, without hesitation, picked it up and slashed her own wrist. Instantly, her fair skin split open.
A few drops of sparkling blood dripped into the bowl, glowing faintly red.
But to her surprise,
After just a few drops, the wound on her wrist healed, leaving only a faint smear of blood.
“…” Su Yun fell silent, a trace of confusion in her big eyes.
With such fast healing, she would have to cut her wrist many times to fill even one bowl.
Maybe hundreds of times, maybe thousands, maybe tens of thousands.
But she had no choice.
Disobedience might mean instant death.
And compared to death,
She chose to endure pain.
Once.
Twice….
Each cut sent a sharp jolt of pain through her tiny body, her blue-pink tail twitching uncontrollably.
Mo Qingqing watched it all coldly, not the slightest ripple in her deep red eyes.
Those ignorant people had burned her father for their “God,” defiled and murdered her mother.
Even her first mentor died miserably before her eyes.
All because they wanted to shatter blind faith and usher human magic into a new era.
That’s why she so agreed with what her current mentor had said: Humans will always progress.
Only livestock would willingly circle themselves in a pen.
As for livestock, you only need to give them food and whip.
Make them hurt, and they’ll behave.
If they can’t be tamed…
Just kill them.
But there were exceptions.
Pets could at least give their master emotional value, making them hard to give up.
She just didn’t know if this little one could become her pet.
Anyway, her original goal was merely to study the Life Law, and she needed an inexhaustible experimental material.
As long as she could complete her Life Law research,
She could become the Master of Life, an eternal High Witch!
At the thought of that day, Mo Qingqing couldn’t help showing a barely noticeable smile, a flash of heat in her eyes.
Although she was only a level 45 Middle Witch right now.
But who could say what the future holds?
Every witch, wizard, and even some human mages were researching the Life Law.
But it wasn’t impossible for her to become the final victor.
People… ought to have ideals.
Only the first to reach the end can become the ruler.
Everyone else can only become shadows under control.
Still, whoever became the Master of Life, it would be a good thing.
Then no one would have to painstakingly cultivate or craft the Rejuvenation Elixir once every thousand years…
No one knew how much time had passed.
Su Yun’s face was as white as paper, her lips trembling, but she finally managed to fill the bowl.
She hadn’t expected that the more she was wounded, the faster she healed.
Toward the end, as soon as the knife split her skin, it healed right after.
She could only keep stabbing herself with the knife, constantly shredding her own flesh, just to squeeze out a bit more blood.
But strangely, she didn’t smell any pungent scent of blood.
On the contrary, it was a marvelous and indescribable fragrance.
She realized this was punishment, yet didn’t know what she’d done wrong.
“Master… the blood is ready…” Su Yun cradled the bowl in trembling arms, the silver pattern at its rim quivering as she moved slowly to Mo Qingqing’s side.
Mo Qingqing took the bowl.
The blood inside was still “boiling,” rising and falling as if alive.
Its terrifying vitality meant it needed no preservation, and could last for ages.
Mo Qingqing was very satisfied with this result.
“Get out. Don’t disturb me without my command.”
“Yes!” Su Yun scrambled out as fast as she could.
