Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva

Chapter 25: 17 Legendary Songstress 'Golden Flame Rose

The bright yellow crystal lamp overhead silently rotated, casting a steady glow as various prepared dishes were spread out on the table below, the center of which featured a hot soup still bubbling with bits of winter melon and ribs, accompanied by stir-fried dishes and steamed pastries, among others.

Not only was Grandma He present that day, but Hexia, He Cheng, and the family of three including Lisha had also come, making a total of six people gathering around the dinner table, occasionally chatting while eating.

"It's been a long while since we've all gathered for a meal, it's rare for us to be together like this today," Grandma He began.

"All of you have your own things going on, and Li'an and the others live far away..." Li'an and the others Grandma He mentioned were her other children, who were not currently in Payin City and were quite old.

"It's fine, we are here to keep you company," said He Cheng and his sister, who were considered Grandma He's grandchildren. Their parents had passed away a long time ago.

"Hehe, as long as you are safe, I have nothing to worry about. I've lived long enough anyway," Grandma He was quite open-minded.

"Let's drop that topic. Come, come, let's eat. I prepared today's meal with care. You aren't allowed to leave any behind," laughter and cheerful voices filled the house.

After dinner, Hexia returned to her bedroom, where she finally had a moment to carefully recall what had happened earlier in the bathroom.

"Freezing," she murmured to herself, then looked at the glass of water on the table. After some thought, she poured out a little and held it in the palm of her hand.

The faint blue radiance surfaced again in her black eyes, and soon the droplets of water in her palm rapidly gathered and condensed into transparent ice beads of varying sizes. A chilling sensation also began to seep through her skin.

Letting the ice beads from her palm slide onto the table surface, Hexia picked up one of them, closed her eyes, and observed attentively. The ability from Withering Sequence 2: Dark Visit activated, meticulously projecting the details within the ice bead into her mind.

This sensation...

Hexia rose from her bed and went down to the kitchen on the first floor, then she opened the door of the refrigerator and pulled out the freezing compartment, knocking off a small piece of ice.

It was just past 8 a.m., and most of the people getting on and off the elevator were employees: some in suits, some in durable work clothes, etc. Hexia stood among them, looking as inconspicuous as a small, grey duckling.

After patiently waiting for several minutes, the elevator continued upward, and passengers kept departing. When the floor count passed 35, there were only two people left inside, one of whom was Hexia, and the other, a woman dressed in a grey suit who looked at her curiously before speaking.

"You're going to Dream of Glazed Glass for work, aren't you?"

"Ah... yes," Hexia was surprised at the accurate guess.

"Hehe, there are only four more floors above, and the rooftop observation deck isn't open at this time. The only places would be Dream of Glazed Glass or Payin City's government institutions, and you're too young to be a government employee. So that leaves Dream of Glazed Glass, and since you're new, you must be one of its employees," the woman explained.

"I see," the young girl nodded in understanding.

"What's your code name? I'll drop by Dream of Glazed Glass in a few days to see you when I'm free," the woman inquired.

"The code name is 'Dantalion', but I'm still an intern," Hexia replied.

"'Dantalion', I'll remember that," the career woman said thoughtfully.

After leaving the elevator, Hexia arrived at the yet-to-open Dream of Glazed Glass. Since Belfeng had not arrived, she could only wait.

Maids began to trickle down in uniform, some Hexia recognized, and others were unfamiliar.

"'Dantalion', are you waiting for someone?" a blonde, full-figured maid stopped in front of her.

"Yes, 'Andusia' sister," the young girl nodded and greeted her.

"That bunny probably overslept again; she often plays video games late into the night. You come with me," Andusia invited Hexia to follow her upstairs to change.
