Chapter 995: Chapter 787: 6 Witches Taking a Photo

Overwhelming power surged forth like an undercurrent, eroding them.

Faced with the drifting stars around her, Yan Huarou’s face changed abruptly. She suspected she had already left her original world and plunged into another realm.

Yan Huarou immediately, silently released her magic power, attempting to shear the edges of the world.

Her magic power sliced rapidly like cobalt-blue sharp lines, scattering at an angle like twin bolts of lightning before abruptly converging, cutting into the void’s fissures.

But—no effect!

It was as if all her power was devoured by the starry river’s dark domain.

Yan Huarou furrowed her brows tightly, retracting her cutting magic. She turned her gaze to Farosa.

It would be impossible not to be cautious.

From the moment she appeared, she subdued six Dominator Witches in one move—who else in the world could achieve something like this?

To exaggerate a bit, she had instantly captured 30% of the world’s witches’ combat power.

Farosa silently walked toward Yan Huarou.

Yan Huarou’s throat was seized by Farosa’s elegant fingers.

"Guh—" She stared at Farosa with wide eyes.

Xu Yang watched from the side. Under Farosa’s suppression, it was evident that Yan Huarou was displaying intense resistance.

But even this resistance melted away like ice.

Farosa greedily consumed Yan Huarou’s thoughts—no witch could resist the Witch Goddess.

Amelia carefully took a step back, not daring to challenge Farosa to rescue Yan Huarou.

At 75 years old, Amelia was much older than the other witches, though outwardly she retained her youthful appearance and fiery disposition. Her mind, however, was considerably more reserved, watching everything with caution.

"So... this is... my conclusion?" Yan Huarou felt the hand gripping her throat tighten further.

"Your heart holds many secrets," Farosa said, her gaze fixed on Yan Huarou’s eyes.

Her body moved aggressively, forcing Yan Huarou to tilt backward, as if she were a reed bent under pressure.

"Secrets? I... have none," Yan Huarou whispered.

"Where has Lu Sizhou gone?" Farosa pressed, "And where is Lu Jing?"

"I don’t know..." Yan Huarou maintained her difficult posture, one foot raised, her slender waist seeming on the verge of breaking.

"You came here to investigate me, and now you’ve gotten to know me," Farosa locked eyes with Yan Huarou. "Tell me: what kind of person do you think I am."

"...I don’t know," Yan Huarou hesitated, uncertain.

She thought Farosa would respond by doubling her torment, but that wasn’t the case.

As soon as she answered, the pressure vanished, and Yan Huarou balanced herself on one foot to steady her stance.

She covered her face, as though Farosa’s gaze had pierced through her eyes.

"...I can help both Lu Sizhou and Lu Jing," Farosa said, turning her back to her.

"You’ve read my thoughts?" Yan Huarou’s voice was incredulous.

"Your mind intrigues me. At least compared to the person next to you—it’s full of running emus and muscular kangaroos," Farosa glanced at Amelia.

"For starters, that’s true," Amelia emphasized, "We, the residents of Ocean Island, have always waged a brutal struggle against the Kangaroo Empire and the Mechanical Emu Community."

"Tell us about the Kangaroo and Emu dynasties," Farosa sat on a backless round chair by the exhibit.

"The first settlers who arrived on Ocean Island were nearly wiped out by kangaroos and emus. During the Corporate Era, only when we equipped firearms did we barely succeed in colonizing the island, briefly defeating them. But now the kangaroos have undergone implant modifications, transforming into terrifying, ferocious warriors capable of destroying armored vehicles with their fists. The emus, enhanced by biological technology, reach speeds of 150 kilometers per hour, relentlessly invading and seizing smaller settlements," Amelia warned Farosa. "I joined the Riot Control Mobile Unit hoping we could periodically launch raids on the Kangaroo Empire and Emu Community, ensuring our hard-earned homeland remains intact."

"And you—" Farosa pointed at Yan Huarou, "You joined the Riot Control Mobile Unit to search for someone and rescue your missing group’s heir, Lu Sizhou, hoping we’d assist."

"Yes... I believe Miss Lu encountered something beyond our company’s capabilities this time. She took our most elite troops and Immortals to Weak Water, but we’ve heard nothing from them since," Yan Huarou cautiously explained.

Lu Sizhou was in trouble.

Her father, Chairman Lu Shibo, was also aging. The board hoped he would retire soon, which meant the Lu Clan’s influence would be uprooted from Heavenly Cardinal Manufacturing.

Both Farosa and Xu Yang realized this.

Which is why they readily agreed to rebuild the Riot Control Mobile Unit and let Yan Huarou investigate if there was any chance to rescue the lost Lu Sizhou and her group.

If not for seeking allies—and testing Farosa—Yan Huarou wouldn’t have made this trip.

"I’ve heard Weak Water is an extremely perilous place. Ancient texts describe it as the celestial river—a river where even feathers cannot float," Farosa murmured.

"It has no bottom, but Miss Lu was persuaded by the Immortals. They—those ancient Heavenly Masters—claimed the Dragon Gate Mansion lies beneath Weak Water. If you dive, you’ll find the answers," Yan Huarou said dreamily.

"I doubt Lu Sizhou would be foolish enough to risk her life," Farosa said softly.

Yan Huarou hesitated for a moment, looking at Farosa, whose expression seemed to reveal everything.

"Haven’t you already read my mind?" Yan Huarou said calmly, "Then you should know why Miss Lu is so passionate about this Dragon-Slaying Assembly."

"Because there’s a dying but not dead Divine Dragon hidden in the depths," Farosa said slowly.

"And we have the means to let Miss Lu harness that power," Yan Huarou nodded, closing her eyes and taking a deep breath. "...That’s enough."

Seizing divine authority.

Desiring to usurp the great power of an Ancient Mystic? Xu Yang inwardly mused. Indeed, only a reward of this magnitude could drive Lu Sizhou to pursue it zealously.

"Then," Xu Yang spoke, "Miss Yan, Miss Amelia, you both probably already know the world’s two premier witches. One stands before you. The other resides on the opposite side of the world, frequently appearing in news reports."

They nodded slowly.

The other was the Witch Empress Easter, wielding a different kind of power, yet equally renowned as one of the strongest witches.

Farosa and Easter were like twin pillars, commanding their respective domains’ mighty witches.

The witches of the Eastern Hemisphere typically flocked to Farosa, while those of the Western Hemisphere leaned toward Easter. Just like mortal corporations divided into three main factions, a similar divide emerged among witches.

"I won’t demand that you switch allegiances, but you are well aware—serving me will bring you immense rewards. Infinite knowledge and power will be laid out before you. Yan Huarou, you’ll realize your most hidden ambitions; Amelia, you’ll break through limits, becoming a Supreme Witch, unleashing flames that incinerate the heavens," Farosa said.

Both were swayed.

Yan Huarou’s ambition was thus laid bare by Farosa. Although initially unsettled by having her mind read, she slowly relaxed. She gave Farosa a small nod.

"I’ll prove my worth," Yan Huarou said concisely. As a Dominator Witch, she too harbored unspeakable aspirations.

"Fighting isn’t really my thing, but becoming a Supreme Witch certainly has its conveniences," Amelia said candidly.

"...So you’ve all been introduced, haven’t you?" Yan Huarou glanced at the other four Dominator Witches.

"I serve Lady Farosa as her first Knight of Conquest. The reason I could become a Dominator Witch so quickly is entirely thanks to Lady Farosa’s protection!" Pan Ruiyi declared, patting her chest.

"I work within Nestor Corporation’s jurisdiction, so I’ve always been aware of Lady Farosa’s existence," Jin Yuxiu said.

"What are you all talking about...?" Takahashi Kyoko looked confused.

"She’s formidable and scary," Storm Princess summarized warily.

Listening to their accounts, Farosa idly shifted her legs.

Yan Huarou took one look and couldn’t help but be captivated by Farosa’s beauty.

But Farosa appeared bored with the matters here; she gestured dismissively before turning to leave.

The surrounding illusions of galactic rivers dissipated into the void.

"Phew..." The witches reflected on Farosa’s terrifying power.

"Since you’re new here, let me take you on a tour," Xu Yang suggested, hoping to lighten the mood. Farosa’s presence had been overwhelmingly oppressive.

"Sounds great!"

"Let’s go!" They eagerly followed Xu Yang.

He dutifully played the role of a guide, taking the six unparalleled witches on a tour of Shangjing’s hotspots. They changed into different discreet outfits to avoid alarming the citizens, though their group was still striking.

Many passersby stared in surprise or envy at Xu Yang.

Why was he able to escort six beautiful, alluring women?

No matter, the deal was done.

In parks, small temples, and wintry gardens, the witches cherished the opportunity.

"Could you take pictures? If we don’t document it, there’s no point to going out," Jin Yuxiu suggested.

"Alright then," Xu Yang downloaded some professional photography skills and easily replicated advanced techniques, capturing numerous photos of them.

The Northern Archipelago had top-tier camera manufacturers like "Jiayin," which merged with Nestor Corporation but kept its original technical team. Their efforts resulted in Xu Yang’s myriad quality photographs.

The photos depicted them hiking, treading through snow, exploring gardens, and visiting exhibitions. Scenes of them adorned in various outfits also came to life. The photos were all incredibly striking, fueling Xu Yang’s enthusiasm.

Pan Ruiyi’s fiery, robust physique, Jin Yuxiu’s sunny confidence, Takahashi Kyoko’s meekly obedient demeanor, Amelia’s fresh excitement as a rural girl entering the big city... and Yan Huarou, always turning back to glance at Xu Yang’s camera, offering him a mysterious smile.

The most amusing was Storm Princess. Typically scantily clad, she was forced to don extremely thick layers due to the annoying winter. She shuffled around like a white puffball, starkly contrasting her usual bandaged look.

Xu Yang printed the photos and handed them back. The witches were thrilled with them.

"You do have some impressive photography skills," Jin Yuxiu praised.

"We can plaster them all over our activity room," Pan Ruiyi laughed heartily.

"I’m glad you’re satisfied... If you need anything locally, don’t hesitate to reach out," Xu Yang said, leaving his contact details before returning to headquarters.

He opened his studio door to find Farosa standing in the hallway, glaring at him as if he were a corpse.

"What have you done to them?" Farosa asked coldly.

"Nothing," Xu Yang stressed.

"Remember—whatever you’ve done to them, you’ll repay me sixfold," Farosa ominously approached Xu Yang.

"You said it," Xu Yang instantly acted.

Six sets of colossal artistic photographs of Farosa, spanning over a hundred poses, angles, and wardrobe choices—the world’s most luxurious private cinematic collection!
