Chapter 286: Chapter 285 Tree Demon

From behind the bookshelf, slowly stepping out, what appeared before Tang Qi and Sally was a kind-hearted old granny, hunched over, leaning on a cane, and wearing reading glasses. An incredibly strong affinity emanated from her.

Meanwhile, there was also the aura of a strong being.

Tang Qi watched as streaks of Information Fragment flooded his vision, complex and tough, meaning his special ability was operating to its utmost limit.

Had his power been weaker, it might have repeated the scenario when he first met “Sith” and “Hall,” the two Professional Level Experts, unable to decode and only seeing gibberish.

Fortunately, Tang Qi was not the person he used to be.

That special image was still forming bit by bit.

[Extraordinary Creature: Tree Demon.]

[State: Normal.]

[Information Fragment One: A demon living deep in the mountains, which perhaps due to the accumulation of time and the arrival of the Spiritual Tide, has successfully “awakened”. It has acquired a kind of extraordinary power from the mysterious, making it a demon comparable to a Professional Level Expert.]

[Information Fragment Two: During an accidental incident, it clashed with the Witch Leader Esmeralda, but the conflict was later resolved. It became one of the allies of the Witch Group, which allowed it to learn some witchcraft beyond its bloodline abilities.]

[Information Fragment Three: It is a fan of the Witch Leader, um, a dedicated comic book fan.]

…

“How lavish!”

The only thought in Tang Qi’s mind.

He had imagined some possible guides the Witch Group might send, like a sexy female teacher hidden in Winston High School or a mysterious Gypsy Witch lurking in the town, or at the very least a beautiful Witch Apprentice.

He never expected it would be a “Professional Level” monster.

This not only illustrates the extravagance of the Witch Leader but also indirectly proves the strength of the Witch Group.

Despite being a demon, its external appearance was that of a kind-faced old granny.

It was now looking at Tang Qi and Sally, a smile on its face as refreshing as a spring breeze, holding not only a cane but also a magic wand resembling a tree branch in its hands.

It waved it lightly, and with a drag of light, a chair appeared behind Tang Qi and Sally.

“Please sit, young wizard, and our Daughter of Destiny.”

Following Tang Qi’s gesture, Sally smiled at the granny and obediently sat down.

Tang Qi had already seated himself promptly.

“Hum”

Just as they sat down, the granny waved her magic wand again and in front of them, a table started to appear, along with an elegant teapot and teacups, and a strongly fragrant kind of milk tea, as well as several plates of delicious-looking snacks, all set up like a tea party.

Tang Qi, showing no sign of hurry, unceremoniously began to taste the milk tea and did not forget about the snacks either.

Initially planning to say something, Sally, seeing Tang Qi’s actions, followed suit.

The moment the milk tea and snacks touched her mouth, a look of surprise appeared on Sally’s face, her eyes sparkling as if she had tasted something incredible.

Strangely, as they ate, the “food” that should have gradually disappeared seemed to replenish itself automatically, allowing them both to eat without running out of a cup of milk tea or emptying a plate of snacks.

Extraordinary class food, coupled with the witch’s magic, looked very fantastical.

And Granny, always maintained a kind smile, looking contentedly at the two “little guys.”

Such a scene, in many ordinary families, would play out.

Until one of the “guys”, after having eaten his fill, very impudently pulled out a backpack, and from that backpack, a bright red tongue suddenly unfurled and with a swish, the table was cleared in an instant.

Then it automatically replenished, and the tongue swished out again, this time making a smacking sound.

The process began to repeat.

After several times, Granny’s kindly expression froze a bit, her magic wand lightly tapped, a flash of light, and the table, the milk tea, and the snacks all vanished without a trace, leaving only a disappointed red tongue rolling up nothing.

Before a complaint could be uttered, sensing a hint of danger, Gluttony quickly retracted its tongue and transformed back into an exquisite yet very understated backpack.

Granny, whose true form was a Tree Demon, glanced at Tang Qi and her amiable smile reappeared, saying, “Just as the prophecy foretold, the Daughter of Destiny has a very special guardian; it seems I, an old lady, don’t need to do much, you can help the poor girl fulfill her mission.”

Granny’s words fell, and Tang Qi was somewhat astonished.

What’s this about?

Is it just because I ate your milk tea and snacks, and incidentally packed some away? Are you already giving up on us?

As Tang Qi was about to speak, at that moment, Granny suddenly switched to a very formal procedure.

Her wand waved again, and two orbs of light leapt out, soon landing in the hands of Tang Qi and Sally.

They were two bottles of emerald green, glowing softly with flecks of light, Secret Medicine.

Before Tang Qi could focus on them, Granny explained in a gentle voice, “These are half-finished Transformation Secret Medicines. Although they are not as complete as the full Transformation Secret Medicines, after consuming them, you can still gain power similar to that of Transforming Monsters, able to maintain for about ten days.”

“This is your model, a pair of siblings who rely on each other for life. The sister goes to school while working part-time here, and the brother who just resigned from his previous job, needs to find a new job to earn money for his sister’s university tuition.”

“Buzz”

Accompanied by Granny’s voice, a ghost light emerged before Tang Qi and Sally’s eyes, inside it were the very real appearances and backgrounds of the siblings.

Clearly, this was the identity arranged by the Witch Group in Winston Town for Tang Qi and Sally.

As for the real siblings, they were probably replaced in their memories and sent away from Winston Town.

Holding the half-finished Secret Medicine in his hand, Tang Qi didn’t immediately peek at the “recipe”, nor did he put away the medicine.

He just quietly stared at Granny, waiting for what would come next.

Since Granny is a “guide” of the Witch Group, Tang Qi didn’t believe she was unaware of the contents of this transaction.

Not to mention whether Tang Qi plans to help Sally solve this so-called curse.

But as the “initiator”, the Witch Group, if they expect him and Sally to solve the danger alone while they hide in the shadows?

Such a good deal, he would not agree.

According to the conversation with the deceased Elena Witch, what Tang Qi was supposed to do was just to escort Sally to Winston Town.

It should be the Merada Witch Group that truly helps Sally and lifts the curse crisis.

The Tree Demon transformed into Granny, fully understanding the meaning in his eyes, sighed, and then said, “Because of the curse, the Thirteen Ancestors and their descendants cannot approach Winston Town, Granny has some power, but until the day of prophecy arrives, everything is in vain.”

“Day of prophecy?”

Upon hearing this, Tang Qi’s expression changed, recalling in his mind the prophecy issued by the First Generation Witch Leader when the Mysterious Meteor first streaked across the sky.
