The Witch (Lisrene)

Chapter 123

Under the command of the ghost seal, all the ghost soldiers in the vicinity of the villa went out in defence against incoming enemy attacks. Therefore, only a few ghosts could be still found remaining in the villa, resulting in Winter's journey out of the villa being extremely smooth sailing. In just a short period of time, it reached the entrance of the villa.

Even though Winter's connection to Irene was currently severed, it was still able to sense the presence of her witch powers amongst the abundance of ghost energies dispersed in the air. Its big eyeballs flickered around as it ran and soon its eyes locked onto the figure of Irene, who was currently on a rampage, exterminating hordes of ghosts.

"AH! AHHHHHH!"

It spotted her!

Winter began to get excited as it started to scream "AH"s loudly. It started to sprint even harder with its short legs. Its tiny body deftly weaved its way through the horde of ghosts as it ran swiftly towards Irene.

After casting another Gathering Souls Formation, Irene suddenly heard familiar screams. She was stunned momentarily and looked towards those shouts in disbelief. Soon, she spotted a stuffed doll, wearing traditional Chinese clothing, dashing towards her at high speed.

"Winter!" Irene shouted in surprise and ran excitedly towards the doll.

Irene's movements were naturally obstructed by the ghost mobs. However, Winter's movements were not impeded. Therefore, even though Irene did not advance forward by much, with Winter's swift actions, it closed its distance between them at a very fast pace. Just when the doll was about 1m away from Irene, it let out a loud "AH" before leaping into the air, reaching out with its short arms and pouncing towards Irene in the posture of asking for a hug.

Irene pushed away the malicious ghost blocking her path with a single palm as she, too, naturally opened her arms wide and caught Winter in an embrace.

"Winter, are you alright? How did you escape?" Irene hugged Winter and started to inspect it. She only felt relieved after ensuring that it was alright.

"AHHH!" Winter was excited for a short moment, before it started to vent its grievances to her. It rubbed its head against Irene's embrace first and then turned around to point at the villa while spitting out "AH"s.

Irene's mission for coming here was simply rescuing Winter. Now that Winter was in her arms, she no longer had the pressing need to rush into the villa. Instead, she retreated a few steps back with Winter in her arms to avoid the horde of ghosts. She noticed Winter pointing towards the villa while screaming "AH"s, and understood what it was trying to convey. She patiently asked, "Is Ghost Gentleman still inside?"

The black cat and Sana had gone to the Underworld. So the only one with missing whereabouts was Ghost Gentleman. Irene was thinking that Ghost Gentleman had been with Winter the whole time.

"AHHH!" Winter nodded her head profusely. "BAD! BIG BROTHER! GO DIE! GO DIE!"

For those that did not understand Winter, upon hearing those words, they would have thought that there was a bad big brother who bullied it, and that it was cursing him to death. However, since Irene was accustomed to Winter's expressive logic, she knew that it was trying to convey that there was a bad person who had bullied its big brother, and it wanted the bad person to die instead.

"Okay, we will go in to rescue your big brother in a while." The first thing she needed to do now was to re-establish her connection with Winter. "Winter, we need to re-establish our pact."

"UM." Winter obediently nodded its head. It did not have any energy to fight earlier as it had lost its connection with Mother.

The connection between Irene and Winter had yet to be severed for more than 24 hours so the connection between their souls still existed. They only needed to re-establish their pact to recover their full powers.
