The Apocalyptic Witch

The air fell silent for a moment. Ye Chuan stared at the little loli before him and asked in surprise, "Why were you sleeping inside this jade pendant?"

At the very least, shouldn’t it have been an old granny? Why does she look like a child instead?

This bizarre scene left Ye Chuan at a loss for where to even begin with his complaints.

Especially her clothing—it didn’t give off any vibe of the Tianxuan Continent at all.

If someone told him she had crossed over from some medieval kingdom, Ye Chuan would’ve believed it.

"……" The loli in front of him simply watched him silently, twirling a strand of her ponytail around her finger. She ignored his question and slowly raised her other hand.

"Kneel, Gutanah."

She seemed to be reciting some kind of incantation, but the surroundings remained utterly quiet, with no changes whatsoever.

Ye Chuan raised an eyebrow slightly.

Was this some kind of strange ritual?

"My magic... my body?!" The loli suddenly noticed her small, delicate hands. She withdrew them as if realizing something, then looked down and instinctively placed a hand on her chest.

Flat. Petite.

"How could this be…?" Her round eyes widened in disbelief.

Her once-proud figure—where had it gone?!

Where were the melons?!

"What did you do to me?!" The loli immediately pointed at Ye Chuan, her previously calm demeanor vanishing as she bristled like a cat with its fur standing on end. "You pervert?!"

Ye Chuan: "?"

What had he done? All he did was spend 200,000 to wake her up!

He’d spent the money but didn’t get the legendary old grandpa with peerless cultivation.

If anything, Ye Chuan was the one who’d been flashbanged—what else could he have done?

Just as Ye Chuan innocently spread his hands, the loli noticed the jade pendant beside her and gasped, "Huh?!!!! My Soul Magic Crystal—who carved it into this shape?! Vulgar! Tacky! Idiotic!"

She immediately glared at Ye Chuan, baring a tiny fang as she accused, "Was it you?!"

"I know nothing about this." Ye Chuan replied, though he was far more curious about why a jade pendant from the Tianxuan Continent had summoned a loli with such a drastically different aesthetic. He rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

Then he recalled the stone slab inscribed with the year "2099."

Could it be…

That there really had been a civilization before the Tianxuan Continent? And this little loli was someone from that era?

Though there were many things he couldn’t make sense of, Ye Chuan still said, "How about we sit down and talk?"

"……"

Sensing no hostility from Ye Chuan, the loli plopped down onto the edge of the bed, swinging her short legs. "Hmph. Serve me tea."

"No tea." Ye Chuan bent down and pulled a juice box from the fridge. "Juice."

The loli frowned at him. "Are you treating me like a child? Offering juice of all things."

But she was clearly thirsty. After unscrewing the cap and taking a sip, her expression shifted slightly in surprise. "Oh? This is… unexpectedly not bad."

As she drank, her little legs kicked cheerfully, and she finished the entire box in just a few gulps.

Her delighted demeanor really did make her seem no different from a child.

"Another one!"

"First, tell me about yourself. Why does someone like you exist in the Tianxuan Continent?" Ye Chuan asked.

"The Tianxuan Continent?" The loli shook her empty juice box, then propped her cheek on one hand as she studied Ye Chuan. "I don’t know what you mean by that. I’m from the Aiser Continent."

"Your name?"

"You may address me as the Great Witch."

"You don’t seem to have any power right now, do you?" Ye Chuan smirked dangerously—this little thing didn’t seem to grasp the situation.

The loli caught the threat in his tone. "Y-You… you wretched brat! My name is Lilith."

"Then why were you inside this stone?" Ye Chuan picked up the jade pendant curiously. Though it was called "jade," it looked more like a crystal carving.

"That’s a Soul Magic Crystal. It can seal souls. After my body was destroyed, I slept inside it, waiting for the right time to revive." Lilith pouted slightly.

"But after the crystal was carved, a portion of my soul power was lost. To deface such a beautiful gem like this… the craftsman must’ve been an utter fool."

Seeing Ye Chuan deep in thought, Lilith curled her lips into a smirk.

"I am the Annihilator Witch, Lilith—the most powerful being on the Aiser Continent. Assist me in restoring my soul power, and I shall grant any wish of yours."

Annihilator Witch?

A world of magic?

So, the civilization before the Tianxuan Continent was a magical one?

"If that’s the case… can you sense this?" Ye Chuan extended his hand, attempting to release his spiritual energy.

"Magic? What’s so strange about that?" Lilith said, then paused as if noticing something. "Huh? Chaos-attribute magic? Not bad, kid. With talent like this, you could become a mage of the seventh tier or higher in the future."

Ye Chuan: "?"

Ye Chuan seemed to realize something.

Bai Qianshuang called this power "spiritual energy," while Lilith referred to it as "magic power."

In other words—they were the same thing, just named differently?

Much like how modern superhumans had attributes.

Whether it was spiritual roots and spiritual energy, or magic and magical power,

They were all fundamentally the same—just labeled differently due to the era.

How interesting. So it was just a matter of terminology and systems?

As Ye Chuan pondered this, Lilith was also observing him. "Hey, tell me about this Tianxuan Continent. Is that the name of your world?"

"Not exactly. Our world is called Earth." Ye Chuan grinned.

Lilith: ?

Her mind was in disarray. After all, Lilith had no idea how long she’d been asleep, and everything outside was unfamiliar to her.

The loss of her soul power also meant she couldn’t absorb magical energy to recover her strength yet.

At that moment, Ye Chuan noticed a new pop-up on his phone screen—

[New Tenant Discovered: Lilith Ann

One of the Seven Annihilator Witches of the Aiser Continent. After being hunted down and having her body destroyed, her soul was sealed inside a magic crystal to slumber.]

[Tenant Quality: S-rank]

[Daily Income After Tenant Moves In: 5,000]

[Chance to Obtain Magic-Related Items]

[New Adventures Unlocked After Move-In]

S-rank quality?

Ye Chuan remembered Bai Qianshuang was only A-rank, and Lan Xiaoke was B-rank.

This tiny thing actually had an S-rank rating? And her starting rent was 5,000!

In the next instant, the way Ye Chuan looked at Lilith changed entirely.

"What are you plotting?!" Lilith noticed his expression and scooted back on the bed, puffing her cheeks. "I’m five hundred years old! You have designs on an old woman like me?!"
