Miss Witch is broke again.

Su Li's presence saved Shana from a difficult situation, especially since the barbecue that Amber liked wasn't really to Shana's liking.

Shana pushed away the yelling Amber, clearly feeling helpless towards her.

Seeing that Shana refused to accept it, Amber started gnawing on the roasted lamb again. It has to be said that the dwarf witch has a really good appetite.

Then, a synthesized electronic female voice was heard emanating from the metal pendant Shana wore near her ear.

"Li-mei, then I'll call you that. I'm glad you've joined Catcake Tavern. However, Sister Yaoyue is going to the administrative center of the nearby Sky Island to register the club and also to attract some investment. I'll be teaching you these next few days."

While magic and potions cannot cure Shana's congenital defect, alchemical devices can be used to establish channels for her to communicate with others.

Although it's a synthesized mechanical voice, you can still feel Shana's caring heart.

Su Li was somewhat surprised by Qin Yaoyue's departure, but did not ask any further questions, and developed a great liking for Shana.

"Li-mei must be very tired. Come with me. The team's accommodations are behind the tavern. We've reserved a room for you."

Shana was very observant and noticed that Su Li had experienced too much that day, running around with Amber, and looked rather listless.

Amber nodded as she ate, prompting Shana to explain on her behalf:

"Ahem, with Sister Yaoyue away these past few days, Amber has been starving. And Tu Wen and I don't know how to run a tavern, so..."

Su Li expressed her understanding, after all, she could empathize with Shana's feelings, since neither of them were particularly good at making money.

So, the entire Catcake Squad is being supported by Qin Yaoyue alone. If even Qin Yaoyue can't make money, the newly established Catcake Club could just disband on the spot.

Qin, the hardworking official, and her four burdens—no, now there are five.

"Where is Miss Tu Wen? Hasn't she returned yet?"

Although Su Li was very sleepy, she couldn't help but feel curious since she didn't see any other team members around her.

Shana could only sigh helplessly. She felt like a nanny, with every member of the team needing her care.

"Wenmei is probably having a fight with someone again. Don't worry about her. If it's just about swordsmanship, there aren't many people in Fuyunxu who can beat her."

From the conversation in the virtual space, Su Li could also guess that this team member must be a battle maniac who was proficient in swordsmanship.

Just then, an explosion came from behind the tavern. Su Li was still surprised, while Shana and Amber were used to it and didn't even bother to look.

"Regins has messed up again."

Amber muttered something and continued dealing with the golden roasted lamb.

"Amber, go and keep an eye on Ruijin Silk. I'll take Li Mei to rest. Also, don't steal any more of the tavern's stock, or Sister Yaoyue won't be able to support us anymore."

Amber chuckled and quickly ran off with the roasted lamb in her arms.

……

Behind the tavern was a small, exquisite courtyard, surrounded by bamboo groves that sheltered the entire place.

Since witches value privacy, Qin Yaoyue chose this location to open a tavern with a large open space, which was sufficient as a temporary residence for the team members.

If we gain fame and attract investment in the future, we can buy a floating island to serve as the club's location.

Next to the villa is the training ground, which is currently billowing black smoke upwards.

However, Shana led Su Li into the villa and temporarily ignored the commotion at the training ground.

This villa is largely modeled after the style of shrines in the Japanese region. Several houses are neatly arranged under cherry blossom trees, and fallen pink petals land on the steaming hot spring next to it, creating a unique and tranquil atmosphere.

Although it was very simple, it was enough to house six or seven people.

Since being conquered by the Aurora Witch a century ago, Japan has become one of the Aurora Autonomous Regions and has been reintegrated into the Aurora cultural sphere for over a hundred years.

This Japanese shrine style, as it has become one of the mainstream styles in the witch society, can be considered a blessing for Japanese witches.

Shana pointed to an empty house and said:

"Li-mei, this is your room. I've already packed your toiletries. This is the hot spring bath; you can soak in it later to relieve your fatigue."

Shana was very thoughtful. Knowing that Su Li's Qixia robe was newly bought and she didn't have a change of pajamas, she gave Su Li one of her own pajamas.

Then she turned and walked leisurely towards the training ground.

After all, the two are quite similar in build, but Su Li will need to integrate into the life of a witch in the future, so she will inevitably need to buy more clothes.

Witches value social interaction and maintain a respectable appearance even when they are short of money. Their clothes and accessories must be bright and beautiful, otherwise other witches will feel slighted or neglected.

In the future, when Su Li goes out, a single Qixia robe will not be enough. She will also need sufficient funds to prepare combat attire for duels during competitions.

The hot spring has private rooms to protect the privacy of the team members, but given Su Li and Shana's figures, it's probably more to protect the psychological defenses of the other members.

Su Li first folded her mother's lotus skirt and put it in her room. As for the spirit fox jade pendant, after thinking for a moment, Su Li chose to string it together and hang it around her neck.

She knew she needed to rest, so she took her pajamas and went into the hot spring.

In the cubicle, she took off her valuable Qixia robe, tested the temperature with her fair toes, and then submerged herself in the hot spring.

The hot spring water was at just the right temperature, and Su Li felt completely healed while soaking in it.

Perhaps due to exhaustion, Su Li became somewhat drowsy in the hot spring after only a short while, and could still hear the sounds from the training ground next to her.

"Hahaha, Regins, how come you've turned into the Lafite Witch again?"

This was the sound of Amber laughing heartily, contrasted with the clear, crisp voice of a young girl, who seemed a bit like a spirited young woman.

"So what? It's just a little bit too much alchemical crystal powder! As long as I adjust the crystal powder, sulfur, and fire dragon scales to the optimal ratio, I'll blow him to smithereens during the competition."

Regins sounded quite smug, but then Shana's arrival made her wilted like a frostbitten eggplant.

"Sister mute, I didn't cause any trouble!"

Although Shana is gentle, she still scolds Regins, who often causes trouble:

"How could you test your bombs in the training ground? What if they hurt someone nearby? And you stay in your room all day and never come out. Li-mei just joined the team today, why haven't you even checked any messages..."

Su Li could tell that if Shana got into a scolding mode, she would go on and on. The once energetic girl's voice was like a cat seeing a mouse, and she didn't dare to say a word back.

That's great. Su Li was quite envious of Shana's scolding; it was entirely out of concern that she did such a thing.

As she listened, Su Li drifted into a half-asleep state, then heard someone speaking, the voice indistinct and intermittent.

"Little... why did the fox run so far away..."

That voice sounds familiar, who is it?

It was the mysterious fox spirit that possessed her, claiming to be Su Li's ancestor.

Su Li was startled; the fox spirit's voice had become clearer.

"Oh, little fox, only thinking about your own enjoyment, what an unfilial offspring."

"Who are you? What do you want?"

Su Li was somewhat shocked and angry, somewhat confused, but mostly afraid. This fox spirit was too mysterious and unpredictable, and could contact her at any time.

"I've already told you, I'm your ancestor! If you want to know my name? Hehe, I won't tell you, you little fox, aren't you angry!"

Even after being imprisoned for so long, this fox spirit still couldn't resist teasing others; perhaps that's why she was sealed away.

Su Li kept a straight face. If she could find a way to sever the connection with this fox spirit, she really wouldn't want to get involved with it.

The fox spirit probably knew what Su Li was thinking, so it stopped teasing her and said in her mind:

"I just want you, little fox, to do me a favor."

"What is it?" Su Li asked, her face still tense, offering a evasive answer.

"Find me someone!"

"Who?"

"That shameless, vile witch. Once I'm released from my seal, I'll settle the score with her."

Su Li was somewhat surprised. For the fox spirit to break down and curse like that, the witch must be exceptionally powerful.

However, she hesitated. She was not qualified to get involved in such a big-shot feud as a witch.

The fox spirit seemed to sense Su Li's hesitation and said:

"I'm just asking you, little fox, to keep an eye out for that wretched witch. Besides, I won't let you work for nothing; I'll teach you all the magic of my lineage."

Su Li wasn't interested in the fox spirit's magic, but the fox spirit was too mysterious, so she decided to agree first and tell Yao Yue how to solve this problem when she had the chance.

"Who is that witch?"

"Olivia!"

The fox spirit gritted her teeth and uttered the name, then warned Su Li:

"Little fox, remember this: do not reveal her name to outsiders, and even more so, do not reveal my existence. After all, I have quite a few enemies, and you, little fox, are my descendant. If this gets out, hehe, you can imagine the consequences yourself."

Su Li was dumbfounded. Who exactly was this fox spirit before? Why did it seem like she had a whole bunch of enemies?

Perhaps out of concern, the fox spirit spoke in a threatening tone:

"For example, those few True Dragon Demonesses, and a few thousand-year-old immortal sects. I also think there was a great demones from Zhen Dan who was seduced and then abandoned by me. As for the other messy ones, I didn't bother to remember them. Just be careful."

What exactly did this fox spirit do?

True Dragon Witch! A Thousand-Year Immortal Sect! A Great Witch!
