Chapter 972 The Great Witch's Strange Stone (2nd Update!)

"Great witch, we have a visitor."

Some soldiers came to report.

This made Yi Xia, who was about to strike while the iron was hot and understand the operating principles of this system, couldn't help but raise his head.

The great witch's eyes filled with infinite fire penetrated the limitations of the material realm and looked at the small figure carrying a food box outside the courtyard.

The next moment, Yi Xia's figure disappeared.

When he reappeared in the material world, he had already appeared in the yard.

In this way, the closed door opens.

Not far away from where the shadows and lights interacted, several figures following the guards turned around and left.

"Brother Yi."

Yi Jiao suddenly laughed when she saw Yi Xia inside the door.

Through the jade book that Yi Xia obtained before, her spiritual eyes can now be closed.

After such a long period of exploration, she has now gradually mastered the technique of turning her spiritual eyes on and off by herself.

After all, this is the only supernatural power that she can currently access and control.

So when she was at the foot of the mountain, Yi Jiao closed her spiritual eyes.

Therefore, she can now look directly at Yi Xia's physical form like an ordinary person.

Yi Jiao looked at Yi Xia and held up the food box in her hand:

"My mother made them all, do you want to try them?"

This scene is exactly the same as before.

Yi Xia smiled and took the food box:

"Go inside and say it, it's cold outside."

The great witch who once fought in the depths of the stars and fought fiercely in the chaotic void said this.

Yi Jiao nodded obediently.

Then, two figures, one large and one small, walked into the living room.

"Uncle Sheehan."

Seeing Yu Ren bring a bowl of hot soup that might be used to ward off the cold, Yi Jiao immediately shouted.

Yu Ren returned a rare smile.

It could feel the special status of the child in front of it among the great witches.

Yu Ren knows the story of Yi Xia and Yi Jiao.

Knowing that the other person, to a certain extent, carries some of the tender emotions that the great witch once felt when he was weak.

Therefore, the great witch always takes special care of this diligent and persistent junior.

After all, even for such a "harsh" promise to mortal beings, the Great Witch never mentioned it to anyone later.

This made Yuren suddenly think of something, so he turned and left temporarily.

The two people in the living room chatted about classic topics that students are accustomed to during the New Year:

"How did you do in the exam this year?"

"Are you confident about the college entrance examination?"

For most students, this is not a very friendly topic.

Even for students at the upper-middle level, it is inevitable that there will be times when they perform abnormally.

Yi Jiao nodded firmly:

"Definitely take it!"

The great witch looked at the girl in front of him. Her words were not entirely confident or arrogant.

Or it should be thought that it is a kind of stubborn persistence and a desperate pursuit of one's own safety.

This is something that the Great Witch admires about the other party. He likes such "stubbornness".

But for girls, there are obviously other little worries:

“Because I felt that foreign languages ​​would be useless to me in the future, I didn’t put so much energy into it.”

"Our foreign language teacher also said that if I devote 20% of my energy to other subjects, I can learn very well."

Having said this, Yi Jiao couldn't help but stick out her tongue, feeling a little embarrassed.

She probably still felt that she was not worthy of her conscientious and well-intentioned foreign language teacher.

It's just that people's horizons and choices are different.

Naturally, the foreign language teacher would not understand the path she really wanted to trace.

Just as a people's teacher, the other party naturally wants to find ways to improve students' performance.

After all, for most people, the "thousands of troops crossing the single-plank bridge" stage is an important stage that may affect their lives.

But soon, Yi Jiao said happily:

"I heard from the head teacher that the college entrance examination may be reformed this year, and the proportion of foreign language scores will be reduced by then."

It can be seen that Yi Jiao is very happy about this news.

This meant she didn't have to expend extra energy on foreign language classes that seemed pointless to her.

Does practicing spiritual practice also require learning a foreign language?

Yi Jiao thought that was too ridiculous and funny.

Just like the romantic thoughts many students have after learning about history for the first time:

Yi Jiao felt that if the First Emperor had a map of the world, then they would not be the ones who should learn "foreign languages"...

The great witch smiled upon hearing this:

"The college entrance examination is over, come here to find me..."

Afterwards, Yi Xia took out a rather rough-looking accessory from the void.

Under Yi Jiao's curious gaze, Yi Xia pointed at it and said:

"I hunted a good animal before, so I found someone to use its skull to make some gadgets. It can also ward off minor disasters, which is considered auspicious."

"If you don't think it's ugly, I'll give you one."

The great witch looked at Yi Jiao and said with a smile, and gave it to Yi Jiao.

Yi Jiao took it and felt her hand heavy.

She has not opened her spiritual eyes now, so she cannot see clearly what is going on with this object.

But after all, the spiritual eye is just the final manifestation of her keen perception.

In some invisible realm, Yi Jiao could vaguely feel the indescribable weight hidden under this accessory that was a bit bulky for her.

It was like a mountain as tall as the clouds, but there seemed to be many more...many...

"This... is a little too expensive..."

Yi Jiao said softly.

Even though Yi Jiao was young, she could still tell the difference clearly.

Before that, Yi Xia had given her some raw meat of unknown types, so that was okay.

This time, it was different from before.

"Take it, there is no reason to take back the red envelope you gave out during the Chinese New Year."

"Study hard and don't forget your original intention..."

…………

under night

Yi Jiao walked home with brisk steps.

Although it was already dark, there were still many pedestrians on the street.

These are all nearby neighbors, probably going for a walk to eat after the New Year's Eve dinner.

After all, things are no longer the same as usual, and I no longer have the patience to squat in front of the TV and watch programs.

Young people may still be able to sit in the house and play with computers and refresh their phones.

The older ones were obviously unable to sit still.

However, there are also young people among the pedestrians, mostly couples.

Seeing Yi Jiao passing by, a young couple couldn't help but joke:

"Girl from the Yi family, where did you get a strange stone? It looks dull."

Of course they recognized Yi Jiao.

After all, Yi's Flower Shop has a reputation as "someone else's child", which has long been spread throughout the streets through the neighborhood's intelligence network.

So when I met Yi Jiao, I couldn't help but joke about it.

It's not entirely out of malice, but more like a joke.

Yi Jiao ignored them and walked quickly past.

On the other hand, the tea shop owner who was cleaning up the front cabinet next to him popped his head out and took a look.

Suddenly, he glanced at the young couple with a rather subtle expression.

Then, he lit a cigarette and murmured sadly:

"Strange stone..."
