Chapter 931 - 44: Late-Stage Witch Enthusiast

Chapter 931: Chapter 44: Late-Stage Witch Enthusiast

"Dis-disgusting..."

Miss Tamamo no Mae’s expression changed dramatically, turning from white to blue, then from blue to black, before completely sinking.

"What’s this Black and White Witch nonsense, why is there such a bizarre setup..."

The slap in the face came too fast, like a tornado.

Fate always likes to joke around, and does not spare any face; no one can intervene.

I just said a second ago I don’t believe in superstitions, and the next moment two people popped out to cause trouble, trying to thwart my plans? What’s more, both of them are witches?! Why do witches always show up at critical moments?!

Thinking about this, Miss Fox Spirit immediately felt both angry and anxious, followed by a surge of frustration.

What about my Tamamo power at full throttle! It was like this last time too; at the end, the witches suddenly appeared and took my prize... Ugh! Even though they didn’t take it all, quite a big chunk was snatched away, which makes me angry just recalling it!

Perhaps the more she thought about it, the angrier she got, until she was simmering with rage. Once she figured out the situation, she suddenly turned around and stared intently at her Master!

"..."

"..."

"Ahem, Tamamo, don’t look at me so fiercely..."

Gu Mo gently raised his hand, made a fist and placed it near his mouth, coughing to clear his throat, though his gaze was somewhat evasive.

Meanwhile, as his words fell, the entire world plunged into stillness. Whether it be missiles flying from afar, fighter jets battling on the road, space satellites locking onto the current area, or the Black and White Witch twins hastily approaching.

Dust swirling on the ground, leaves falling in mid-air, dust particles showing Tyndall effects in the light, everything in motion suddenly froze, completely solidified in their original spatial positions, an invisible ripple passing through as the river of time froze.

Time stopped!

Effortlessly affecting a planet-sized scale.

Miss Tamamo no Mae sensed this and wrinkled her nose, feeling somewhat disheartened. It turns out her Master still has aces up his sleeve.

Though she wasn’t surprised by this, knowing beforehand that her Master somehow gained authority over time, delving deep into this domain with rapid progress, advancing by leaps and bounds. Likely due to benefits obtained from remnants of the Mechanical God Civilization.

After all, it’s an apex of technique power, reaching a godlike civilization wandering across various universes, having climbed an unbelievable level on the hyper-spatial tech tree, close to the truth. As the inheritor of the civilization’s legacy, finding something in this aspect is understandable.

Now showing this hand indicates the Master indeed has the ability to pull the entire planet into his controlled Time Domain whenever necessary.

Even when unable to solve issues temporarily, he can crudely and forcibly hit pause on current troubles to buy himself enough time to manipulate events... If he doesn’t cooperate, then there’s no way to trap him.

Ugh, when there was a chance to trap him before, I unfortunately couldn’t catch it...

Miss Tamamo no Mae, feeling like she punched cotton, and realizing she was at a disadvantage, furiously glared at him.

"Master!!"

"Hm?"

Gu Mo blinked, maintaining a sincere expression while looking at her.

But that expression made Miss Tamamo no Mae even angrier, she gritted her teeth, feeling the urge to pounce on him, bite him a few times, and pull his hair. At that moment, she couldn’t decide whether she was more of an ordinary girl or a wild beast.

Perhaps even she didn’t know.

Considering Tamamo no Mae Cat is an aspect she possesses, meaning she inherently has such traits...

A so-called wild beast could be seen as a pure crystal part of her...

—Perhaps.

"What is this late-stage witch fetish you have? Do you like witches that much?!"

Squinting, with a quite suspicious look, Miss Fox Spirit examined her Master up and down, feeling a bit exasperated as she spoke. In the end, it was her Master’s work regarding the Black and White Witch; otherwise, this situation wouldn’t have occurred.

—So, the witch obsession symptoms of this guy must be in the late stages!

—And an incurable kind!

How could this be, how could I possibly be obsessed with witches, impossible! Absolutely impossible...

Gu Mo’s initial reaction was to want to refute it directly, unwilling to let such an unflattering title stick. But as soon as he opened his mouth, he didn’t know what to say. After all, Tamamo witnessed these things personally, and his denial was just empty words, lacking credibility.

Furthermore, upon careful thought, he himself couldn’t help but feel somewhat guilty, as facts speak louder, an unbreakable truth.

Kikyo is a witch, Naoki is a witch, Ah Xiu often dresses as a witch lately... Besides, Miss Fox Spirit over there, she herself has Witch Fox attributes, plus in this Dungeon World he chose Yatsugaya Miko, who also carries a witch label.

Now, with Kenshan Yellow Springs paired with Togami Kagura, these two Black and White Witch appearances...

With all this, being suspected as witch-obsessed was quite normal. Or you might say, it would be strange not to suspect this?

The thoughts in his mind flashed by, Gu Mo blinked his eyes, and exhaled softly.

His mind worked like lightning, crisp and straightforward, he nodded without intending to argue, instead, he directly admitted: "Yeah, I really like you, Tamamo. That’s why I like you so much."

A direct pitch!

Simple and direct, the great Dao is simple.

This is not a pessimistic strategy of giving up but the best counterattack plan after careful consideration.

"...Eh...Really, really?"

Originally aggressive, Miss Tamamo’s actions suddenly froze.

As it turns out, this is indeed quite effective, ignoring defenses and directly dealing real damage.

"Of course it’s true, after all, you’re also a witch, Tamamo."

Gu Mo nodded earnestly, saying with a serious face, and also slightly lamented in his heart if he was starting to get a bit skilled at this. Is this good or bad?

However, speaking of which, even though Miss Fox Spirit knows him well, isn’t it the same the other way around?

So he simply didn’t argue, just directly admitted it, and took the opportunity to leverage the attack, wrapping the missile in sugar and shooting it back, decisively initiating an attack...

Yes, it should be like this, especially for someone like Miss Tamamo, who is inherently aggressive, with extraordinary action power, and always full of whimsical ideas —

This is actually the best strategy.

Because this fox spirit has this kind of personality, she seems full of aggression, but once the one she likes responds directly, and even more aggressively, she would be flustered, not knowing what to do, completely at a loss.

In a certain sense, this woman is really easy to deal with... as long as you cater to her preferences, go with the flow. But of course, it depends on who it is, if it’s someone else, they’d just be smashed by a fox in a bad mood.

And at this moment —

"Ugh! Although I’m indeed a witch and a fox, but even if you...you..."

The fox spirit girl’s gem-like eyes widened, looking at him with an incredulous gaze, speaking stutteringly, but inexplicably her tone seemed fierce on the outside but weak on the inside.

"Just, just because you said that, I’m not going to be happy or anything!"

No, no, no, you clearly look very happy.

"..."

"..."

Gu Mo smiled slightly, but didn’t say anything, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, staring straight at Tamamo with an inexplicable smile. That aggressive confident gaze completely reversed the situation at this moment, creating an inexplicably powerful aura as he looked her up and down.

Follow it up! Don’t give little Tama a chance to react.

The strategy remained effective, faced with his full aggression at this moment, Tamamo’s heart couldn’t help but beat faster, her cheeks flushed and burning, and she instinctively stepped back half a step in mid-air.

Wait, wait, wait! No, no, this isn’t right!

Too... too aggressive, completely different from the expected development! Why is Master suddenly acting so boldly, completely unlike usual!

Her mind was in a bit of chaos, the rhythm disrupted her, her face turned beet red, and she lowered her head, her fingers absentmindedly poking each other in front of her, not knowing what she was thinking, her complexion turning redder, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

What to do, what to do, what to do...

Just like how Gu Mo knew her, earlier she was imposing, but when the Master counterattacked directly, she suddenly panicked.

Her heart beat like a drum, her mind went blank.

Even deep inside, she could feel the inner wailing, not knowing what to do... Is this a confession? It must be a confession, right?! Oh no, her head felt dizzy, but her heart was so happy it almost wanted to sing, had to hold back, absolutely had to hold back...

She hadn’t realized that, in the blink of an eye, she already completely dismissed the previous things, her whole person dazed, having no mood to think about the previous issues anymore.

However —

Maybe the strong contrast made her mind a jumble, unable to think of anything else.

But in a way, what Tamamo originally wanted was essentially achieved. Isn’t this what she wanted?

"Passed..."

Always carefully observing Tamamo’s reactions, Gu Mo let out a sigh of relief seeing this scene.

Looks like he solved this issue.

Heh, what the heck, turns out I’m still quite clever, how could I possibly capsize? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
