After work, start to speedrun the other world-Chapter 137 - 34 More Interested in Sister

Bedroom.

Xi Mu lay exhausted on the bed, as if his body had been hollowed out, his gaze empty as he stared at the ceiling. Meanwhile, the white-haired girl sitting beside the bed stared at him with an displeased expression.

Silence fell for a moment.

"Drink this," the white-haired girl offered a cup of Magic Potion, but Xi Mu silently turned away, followed by a weary voice.

"No need, I just need some rest."

"It’ll be a waste if you don’t drink it." The white-haired girl didn’t retract her hand, insistent on having Xi Mu drink the Magic Potion.

This cup of Magic Potion was originally prepared by her for Xi Mu in the morning.

"I want to drink a dessert Magic Potion," Xi Mu requested, but the white-haired girl remained unmoved. She could prepare rejuvenating Magic Potions for Xi Mu out of good will, but could not indulge him too much.

And the Magic Potion she had prepared was not very spicy.

After all, Xi Mu’s health wasn’t great, and making the potion too spicy would not be healing but would worsen Xi Mu’s condition.

"Can I not drink it?" Xi Mu asked, only to see the white-haired girl firmly shake her head, determined to make him drink the spicy Magic Potion.

He seemed to accept reality and took the cup.

Then he downed it in one gulp.

"So sweet," Xi Mu laughed, and explained proudly under the distrustful gaze of the white-haired girl, "before you came back, I secretly added... sugar."

He returned the cup to the white-haired girl and turned over to sleep.

"You’re too easy to read."

"Humph." The white-haired girl snorted unhappily, took the cup, and left, closing the door a bit forcefully.

Outside the door.

The white-haired girl looked at the cup and gently wiped the inside of it with her finger, then lightly licked it.

Hmm... spicy.

A lie.

Despite her success in making Ahtal drink the spicy Magic Potion, why did she feel utterly joyless and instead experienced a strong sense of defeat?

Could it be that the human really... understood her well.

Thinking so, the white-haired girl took the cup and headed to her private Alchemy Workshop.

Although she appeared to be idle every day, she never ceased researching alchemy, from how to concoct the legendary Philosopher’s Stone to rituals for resurrecting the dead.

All sorts of forbidden research were involved.

Unfortunately, her research was purely for personal amusement; if it became public, she would face the church’s reprimand.

After all, any alchemical creations not permitted by the church and the state were not allowed to circulate in the market. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Otherwise, it would constitute a violation of doctrine, a legal offense.

...

...

The next day.

The door opened.

The white-haired girl entered the bedroom with a cup of Magic Potion, only to find that Xi Mu had disappeared, his whereabouts unknown.

This time, she had not prepared a spicy Magic Potion.

But that man had still sneaked away, his destination unknown, and she hoped he wouldn’t come back weakened seeking her treatment.

After all, she had very important research awaiting her.

Reviving the dead, by using the traces left behind by a Witch after death to bring a perished Witch back to life, was close to mirroring the miracle of reversing time.

...

...

Meanwhile.

In the city streets.

Xi Mu hadn’t left; he was wandering around the city like a tourist, not in his signature silver armor but in casual attire instead.

Holding a ledger, dressed in a suit.

From the look of it, he appeared like a gentleman, accompanied by a mysterious blind nun, drawing the attention of passersby.

"Do you like anything?" Xi Mu turned and asked the blind nun with a smile, but he received a confused look from her.

He offered a hint.

"Like a beautiful flower."

"Lord Ash, I cannot see flowers," the blind nun explained softly, touching the bandage covering her eyes.

"As a nun serving the fire, I must be sightless."

"Can it not be cured?" Xi Mu stopped walking, raised his hand to touch the nun’s cheek, and used the Healing Prayer.

With the grace he now received from the Goddess of Life, he was capable of regenerating limbs and theoretically could restore the blind nun’s sight.

"Lord Ash, this blindness is at the level of fate," the blind nun said, her hands clasped in front of her belly, allowing Xi Mu to treat her.

Her voice contained a hint of melancholy.

"This is the price of witnessing Ragnarok, forever unable to see this world again, the only thing I can see is the guidance of Ragnarok’s fate."

"Is there a way for you to see this world again?" Xi Mu got straight to the point, wanting to complete the ritual to regain her eyesight so that the blind nun could witness this world while having the guidance of Ragnarok’s fate.

If before the blind nun could only unilaterally see the guidance of Ragnarok’s fate without seeing this world,

then, after completing the ritual to regain her eyes, the blind nun would be the eyes of Ragnarok looking upon this world.

"Lord Ash, it’s irreversible," the blind nun gently shook her head, lying, for she knew how to see the world anew.

But for her, there was no necessity.

"Yesterday you said you would never betray me," Xi Mu’s voice suddenly turned cold, "and today you lie to me."

"Ah... I’m sorry, Lord Ash," the blind nun bowed her head in shame, then revealed the reason, "To ensure a heart without distractions, upon becoming a nun serving the fire, one must undergo the ritual of eye removal to ensure that nuns solely receive the guidance of Ragnarok."
