Chapter 481: 464: Magic Miss CuisineChapter 481: Chapter 464: Magic Miss Cuisine

Mu Ying hurriedly summoned her Witch’s Book, which recorded all the paper material she had come across and could automatically search for related information. Soon, the Witch’s Book stopped on a certain page.

This section was from a volume of “Witch Modern History” that she had copied from the school library. Mu Ying had only roughly read through it once.

“Two hundred and fifty years ago, the birthrate of witches drastically decreased, and from then on, witches’ tables were devoid of Magic Plants like Magic Miss Cuisine, is this the Magic Miss Cuisine?” Mu Ying asked.

“Yes, that’s right. Magic Miss Cuisine became popular over two hundred years ago and was cultivated by a green witch named Itsera.

It could not only replenish a witch’s Magic Power but also slowly increase the total amount of Magic Power, especially showing significant effects on underage little witches.

Moreover, it was easy to cultivate, tasted good, and yielded a lot. Even those without a Talent for herbal cultivation could grow it successfully.

Many witches at the time would grow some around their homes to eat themselves or prepare for their daughters, and indeed, during that period, some powerful witches were born.

However, Miss Cuisine was addictive. Once someone ate Magic Miss Cuisine consecutively for over a week, they could never be without it again. They had to eat it every day, or else they would lose their appetite for other foods and rapidly become weak.

But that alone wasn’t so bad. Because Magic Miss Cuisine was so easy to grow, witches could cultivate a large patch of it with ease, and it grew well in any environment—very cost-effective even just for satiation.

It wasn’t until the first generation of witches who grew up eating Magic Miss Cuisine reached adulthood that they discovered they had lost their ability to conceive.

From then on, witches’ tables mostly featured ordinary vegetables and meat. Magic Plants rarely made an appearance for fear of another such incident. Since then, witches have more or less stopped growing Magic Miss Cuisine.

If it hadn’t been popular for only a few decades, the witches might be close to extinction by now.

The ones who still grow Magic Miss Cuisine now must be over two hundred years old, witches who grew up eating Magic Miss Cuisine in that era,” Debra analyzed.

“Thank you, this information is very useful. I’ll keep asking around,” Mu Ying expressed her gratitude.

“Sure, and once you figure out what’s really going on, remember to tell me. I’m quite curious too! And when your trip is over, remember to come to the tavern for a drink!” Debra said.

After hanging up the Dingling Flower phone, she continued to make another call. Seeking information was quite interesting—getting useful intel was best. If there was no news, it was still nice to chat with witch friends and catch up on recent events.

It was not until she contacted Senior Sister Margreta that she finally got some news.

When the Dingling Flower call connected, there was a lot of noise on Margreta’s end, the crying of children mixed with the sound of playing mahjong.

“Mu Ying? Where have you been lately?” the voice of Senior Sister Margreta came through.

“I’m in Green Wall Kingdom; is that Chiruya crying?” Mu Ying asked.

Chiruya was the daughter of Senior Sister Margreta and the Werewolf Artem. They still lived in Canteryala, together with Su Na and others.

“The little girl wanted to snatch my wine to drink; I didn’t let her, so she’s crying. It’s nothing, she’ll be fine after a good cry,” Senior Sister Margreta said indifferently. “I now regret having a child so early. The little girl is becoming naughtier. For safety, we will have to move back to Witch Forest later. She can’t come out until she starts school, and because of Artem, we can only live on the outskirts of Witch Forest. The place I chose before graduation won’t work anymore, ah!”

Mu Ying felt that Senior Sister Margreta was on the verge of following Su Na’s old path and would probably disappear after sending Chiruya off to school!

However, by the time she was ready to attend school, the little witch was almost able to fend for herself.

“With Artem helping you this time, isn’t it much easier to find a place and build a house?” Mu Ying said.

“Right, have you encountered anything new lately? Once Chiruya goes off to school, I want to travel too,” Margreta said.

Mu Ying then told her about the story of Miss and the Prince, and asked if she knew any clues about that witch.

Mu Ying didn’t hold much hope, after all, Senior Sister Margreta had only recently graduated and had visited few places.

Indeed, she didn’t know, but Doris, who was playing cards with them, spoke up, “Mu Ying, not long ago Tanatos sent a message asking me to tell you that the person you’re looking for is in Star Cave Village.”

Mu Ying: “...”

She had thought that once she left the Royal Family of the Rose Kingdom, the prophesy wouldn’t be able to find her. Yet here it was again.

And the Prophetic Witch had even pin-pointed the location for her; truly a person one could both love and hate.

“Did she say anything else?”

“She said not to fear the prophesy, because the prophet’s act of prophesying is also a part of fate. She wishes you well. Oh dear, I’ve won!” Doris’s tone was full of excitement, “Pay up, pay up!”

Is she a Prophetic Witch or a mind-reading witch?

Mu Ying sighed, “I sent her the Dingling Flowers, didn’t I? Why couldn’t she contact me directly?”

“Prophetic witches are like that; too much involvement and she’ll inevitably see too much. She gave me the Dingling Flowers you sent her to mail to you,” Doris said. “But I think there’s nothing wrong with having your future seen. For example, she predicted that when you got in touch with us, I’d win big in cards, so I’ve been looking forward to it for a long time!”

Mu Ying: “...”

Forget it, let it be. The capricious Tanatos can do as she pleases!

After hanging up the Dingling Flower phone, Mu Ying began to look for Star Cave Village on the map.

Star Cave Village is on the border of the Rose Kingdom, not far from the western boundary of the Green Wall Kingdom. But she was currently in the south-eastern wilderness of the Green Wall Kingdom, with the Star Cave Village across most of the Green Wall Kingdom from her, a journey that would take quite some time.

However, now that she had a destination, she didn’t have to take the Magic Carriage and inquire for news along the way. She packed up the Magic Carriage and threw out the Magic Flying Carpet, leaving the village overnight.

By daylight, the villagers who had come with stories to sell could not find the noble girl buying stories. Instead, they saw several mangled corpses hanging from the trees, whipped to a pulp throughout the night.

Vier covered Xiao Lesi’s eyes, “You see, it’s all too easy for a witch to take a human life. Once you’re despised by them, it ends very miserably.”

From that moment on, the legend of an Evil Witch who loved to hear stories began to spread from that village.

Legend had it that the witch looked like a naive noble girl, driving a carriage alone in the wilderness. Upon seeing someone, she would take out a purse to buy their stories.

Those who told a good story, satisfying her, would receive a handsome reward, becoming overnight riches, while those who did not please her with their stories would be hanged and whipped to death.
