Chapter 303: The Song of Holy White

After An Xin finished lunch, it was actually already afternoon. Returning to the dormitory, Lolan Hill carefully inspected the room. Although it wasn’t dirty, there were still some corners with accumulated dust.

It looks like another thorough cleaning is needed.

“Does Keti have other clothes?”

“No, but I am very clean. I wash them every day,” Keti thought Lolan Hill was criticizing her for not changing clothes, so she explained quietly.

“It’s not that. We’ll clean the room later. If you wear this, it will get dirty.”

Lolan Hill searched through her ring and found that since her height was similar to Keti’s, Keti should also be able to wear her clothes.

Hmm, this one will do. Lolan Hill took out a brand new white dress, which she had woven herself using moonlight cotton. There were several identical ones, all Silver Rank. This particular one she hadn’t worn yet, so it would be perfect for Keti.

However, to distinguish it, Lolan Hill took out a needle and thread and embroidered a tiny flame pattern at the hem of the dress. Since it was the same white thread, it wouldn’t be noticeable, just to prevent any mix-ups in the future.

“Keti, come here and take off your clothes, then put this on.” Lolan Hill sat on the bed and beckoned Keti over.

Keti obediently walked over and reached behind her to untie the belt, preparing to take off her clothes.

“Hold on a moment.”

Lolan Hill held Keti’s hand and stood up to look out the window. It was now dusk, and outside was a golden twilight and the forest. She first used her ability to perceive the surroundings, then pulled the curtains shut before turning back to Keti.

“In the future, when changing clothes, make sure it’s in a closed and quiet environment, and no one else should see.”

“I understand, Lolan.” Keti nodded and continued to undress.

“Hold on, wait until I leave before you change.” Lolan Hill held Keti’s fair wrist and continued to correct her actions.

“But Lolan isn’t someone else,” Keti looked at the girl innocently.

“This… means no one should see, yes, not even spirits, elves, demonic beasts, or any intelligent beings.”

Although it seemed extreme, Lolan Hill hoped the child would understand her intentions in the future. Common sense is something you don’t notice in daily life, but when you think about it, it has great significance.

“Okay.” Keti temporarily paused.

“Then why can’t anyone see?” She started another round of questions.

“Because it’s a very private matter.” Lolan Hill wouldn’t say anything about indulging when in love; love was too ethereal, and it was better for Keti to avoid such things for now.

“Is it because doing something inappropriate makes one feel shy?” Keti understood.

Thus, after changing clothes, the two first cleaned the room thoroughly, especially the bathtub in the bathroom. Lolan Hill first had Keti use fire to carefully heat the stones, sterilizing them until they became hot and appeared glazed like ceramic. After cooling for a while, water was added, causing steam to rise. Then, she used wind to repeatedly rinse the corners with clear water, finally feeling satisfied.

Since it was for bathing, Lolan Hill liked keeping everything clean.

After cleaning, Lolan Hill and Keti took turns bathing. When they opened the window, it was already night. The cool night breeze swept through the room, carrying away the moisture, bringing a refreshing sensation.

The candle on the bedside stand was lit, the small flame flickering and casting a faint light across the room. Lolan Hill leaned against the bed, looking out the window at the night scene. In the forest, faint lights fluttered, seemingly fireflies, but their appearance was different from what Lolan remembered. Perhaps they were unique local creatures.

At this moment, a slight movement came from beside. The girl turned her head and saw Keti already lying in bed. This was her first time covering herself, and she was a bit excited. Despite being a witch made of flames, she didn’t fear the cold. However, Lolan insisted she cover herself, as it would give her a sense of ceremony, letting her body know it was time to sleep.

“Are you sleepy, Keti?”

“Not yet.” Keti’s red hair was scattered on the pillow, part of her delicate collarbone exposed above the white cotton blanket. Her eyes were full of energy, looking at Lolan.

This girl’s schedule seems quite irregular, the girl thought, recalling Chris’ instructions. It seemed she needed to sing something to help Keti fall asleep.

Wearing a white nightgown, Lolan got out of bed, first straightening Keti’s blanket and tucking her in, then pressing down the edges. Then, sitting on the bed, she sang a gentle song for the child who didn’t want to sleep.

[Dark skies hang low]

[Bright stars follow]

[Bugs fly]

[Bugs fly]

[Who are you thinking of?]

The song was soothing, and Lolan gently stroked Keti’s forehead. The angel sequence magic slowly descended, bringing warmth and a sense of security, making Keti gradually relax. Her eyes would occasionally open and close.

[Not afraid of the dark]

[Only afraid of heartbreak]

[Regardless of tiredness]

[Regardless of direction]

Finally, Keti completely fell asleep, her breathing becoming rhythmic.

Lolan placed Keti’s golden pocket watch on the bedside, so she could sense it when she woke up.

Walking to the window, she watched the cold moonlight reflected on the lake. The late spring breeze was less harsh and more gentle.

—

The next morning, after washing up, Lolan did not wake the sleeping Keti. According to Chris, this child could sleep for days, and she was still in a weak state of newborn fragility.

Opening the cabinet door, an elliptical mercury mirror appeared inside. Lolan lightly touched the mirror, and ripples spread. In a blink, she emerged from another small room’s wardrobe.

With only 4-5 days left until the start of the new semester, her accumulation on the angel sequence was almost at its limit. Before school began, she decided to advance.

Wearing a light white dress, Lolan picked up the lonely little bear on the wooden chair, placing it on the windowsill, instructing it to guard the house. She was going to advance today, and the stuffed bear nodded obediently. She said, “I knew our boss wouldn’t give me so many days off for nothing. It must be a big move. I wonder when I’ll be able to participate. Considering I’ve been obedient and worked hard, maybe I can return to Sequence 7.”

After some adaptation, the stuffed bear had regained some intelligence, or perhaps due to its pure soul state, it wasn’t driven by previous bodily instincts, making it smarter. For Lolan, who had defeated it, it currently worshipped her immensely. Without guidance, it had randomly explored and practiced, reaching Sequence 7 by luck, consuming many extraordinary materials. If it truly fought against humans at Sequence 7, it would definitely lose, as even the Sequence 6 geniuses on the battlefield could easily overwhelm it.

During the last academy competition, Lolan had brought it along, broadening its horizons. Recently, it had been learning about the extraordinary sequences under Lolan’s guidance, constantly adjusting its extraordinary core.

The curtains in the room were drawn, and a pure white light sphere appeared on the clean bed. Layer upon layer of white petals enveloped it, the radiance slowly swirling. Refined angel sequence magic began to carve intricate patterns onto the pure white core, layer upon layer.

The white light was not blinding but softly illuminating the room, fluctuating like breathing.

When the sun neared noon, the bud reopened, a faint gold overflowing, and a teenage girl with golden symbols in her eyes awakened once more.
