Now the pressure was on Vannie.
The black-haired senior looked at the title on the identity card Dorothy displayed, and the striking title of Second Generation Demon Lord was indeed eye-catching.
The information on the identity card could not be modified by an individual; only the All-Seeing Eye could edit it. So, since a seemingly humorous title was genuinely registered on the identity card, it meant that this title was officially recognized and truly represented the will of the current King of Witches.
However, Vannie did not really care about this, and she showed no surprise at Dorothy's confession.
Thus, awkwardness once again fell upon Dorothy; the Zhai Mo Nv felt that her attempt to show off had been for nothing.
Ah, this is a bit awkward. Should I also laugh a few times like my senior?
She sheepishly retracted her identity card, preparing to act as if nothing had happened. However, her embarrassment seemed to make Vannie across from her unable to hold back a laugh.
"Hahaha, Dorothy, you didn't think your identity as the Second Generation Demon Lord was well hidden, did you, hahaha? Actually, I knew the moment I first saw you."
The black-haired senior explained while laughing.
"It seems you still don't quite understand the effect of the Demon Lord's blessing. Well, the Demon Lord is indeed an old riddle-teller."
"Dorothy, talents like 'King's Potential' cannot be hidden. It represents the mark of a King. For example, you currently bear the Demon Lord's mark. Any strong individual who has reached a certain level of power will sense the existence of that mark the moment they see you. This means you are a person protected by the Demon Lord, and it is also a protective charm given to you by the Demon Lord. Anyone who wishes to harm you must consider whether they can bear the consequences of angering the King of Witches."
"Hmm, I could actually give you something like this too, but since I haven't taken the throne yet, it certainly wouldn't be as effective as the Demon Lord's blessing."
As Vannie spoke, she reached out and patted Dorothy's head. The next moment, the Zhai Mo Nv immediately felt some new changes within her body.
She lowered her head, pulled out her identity card again, glanced at it, and then fell silent.
[Rank: Great Witch (x) Second Generation Demon Lord (√) Old Ruler (√)]
[Old Ruler (SSR): Your aptitude has been recognized by **** and you have received her blessing. She grants you a share of her glory. The entire Witch World will acknowledge your achievements and anticipate your future. Note: The further you walk on the Old Ruler's Path, the more glory you will share.]
And just as this new title and the inherent talent of the title appeared, Dorothy suddenly felt a surge of energy. Her mental power, which had been drained from lecturing the True Sight Eye and hadn't fully recovered even after drinking a magic potion, saw a significant increase in its recovery speed. And perhaps it was not an illusion, but she felt that her already keen intuition had become even sharper, even vaguely touching the threshold of an SS rating.
Ah, this, good heavens, has my future potential deepened again?
Dorothy's mood was complicated for a moment.
Darn it, senior, you won this round of showing off. I'm impressed.
Wuwuwu, as expected, a cheater can't beat an authority figure.
Just as Dorothy was about to feel indignant again, Vannie's voice sounded once more.
"Alright, Dorothy, no more fooling around. My time is really running out, and you don't need to belittle yourself. You should know that the Demon Lord is a very picky person. Even I haven't received her approval, let alone been given a commendation like yours. It's clear she truly appreciates you. If it weren't for my destiny, I would probably be far inferior to you."
The myriad familiars behind the black-haired senior, who still had her eyes closed, looked at Dorothy with such burning gazes, and the admiration and praise flowed from their countless eyes.
"It is precisely for this reason that I ultimately decided to choose you, Dorothy. You are a very special Witch. Even I, who can clearly see through the River of Fate, find it difficult to discern your future, but my intuition tells me that my hope of escaping this predicament lies with you."
"So, this is not a command or a transaction, but merely a request. Will you help me, Dorothy?"
Vannie, who seemed to be getting drowsier, forced herself to stay awake, her tone even carrying a hint of humility.
Dorothy: "..."
The Zhai Mo Nv was silent for a moment, thinking, before finally looking up.
"Senior, you are so despicable. You make it sound like I still have a choice now. After knowing such a significant secret, I'm afraid it won't be so easy for me to refuse, will it?"
She slightly regretted it; she shouldn't have stayed longer just out of curiosity. She should have left immediately. Now, she had committed the sin of knowing too much, and trouble was upon her.
"Look at you, Dorothy. How could I be that bad?"
Across from her, Vannie feigned anger. She pulled out a folding fan from somewhere and covered her mouth with it, her beautiful eyes, though still closed, curved into two crescents.
"At most, I'll just erase your memory of this part. We'll still be the best of friends."
The black-haired senior said so.
However, Dorothy's further enhanced intuition immediately went into full alert upon hearing the words 'best friends'.
Senior, don't come over! I really can't afford a friend like you.
The Zhai Mo Nv screamed in her heart, but on the surface, she said with a serious expression.
"Then I at least need to know your reason for doing this, senior."
"Of course, I will tell you everything."
Vannie closed her folding fan and clapped it against her hand, saying with a hint of delight. She knew that her friend across from her had already half-agreed.
"Dorothy, you also know the difference between the All-Knowing Path and the Omni-Path, right?"
She didn't answer directly but instead asked.
"Senior, don't waste time with such nonsense, alright?"
Dorothy rolled her eyes and said irritably.
"Then do you know which path the Three Kings took?"
The black-haired senior asked again.
"Of course, it's—"
Dorothy instinctively wanted to answer, but the words caught in her throat, and she couldn't continue.
Ah, this, this question really seems to be in her blind spot. Logically, big shots like the Three Kings should definitely be on the Omni-Path, but upon closer thought, they all seem to be on the All-Knowing Path. Could it be that they walk both paths simultaneously?
The Little Witch fell into contemplation.
Hmm, randomly sacrifice a Qian Bao, and you can receive a blessing from that great being.
