"You’re afraid someone is coming?" Lady Farosa smiled.
"Of course! This is our... private affair." Pan Ruiyi lamented with a somber face.
"Don’t you dare stop them." Lady Farosa gritted her teeth and said, "Nor are you to tell anyone that they have arrived."
"Now everything is in disarray." Pan Ruiyi shivered, "This is not according to the plan."
"We never needed your plans in the first place." Lady Farosa said calmly, ready to confront Xu Yang.
Before long, she saw Xu Yang in a side hall, sitting on an armchair sofa, deep in thought, dressed in a black suit.
"Why wear something so thick? It will only be troublesome to take off later." Lady Farosa mocked.
"I intend to inform you of some matters with all seriousness." Xu Yang straightened up in his seat.
"Serious? You think this ’little party’ is serious?" Lady Farosa scoffed.
"Of course, I only messaged you." Xu Yang approached Lady Farosa earnestly and said, "I think it’s extremely important, and we can’t do it without you. First, I must apologize for not telling you earlier."
"Yes, though deranged... it’s the course of nature, and we need your help, Lady Farosa. Kanako and I have had a child, a Witch." Xu Yang said.
Kanako came out from a nearby room holding a baby girl, smiling as she approached Lady Farosa.
Lady Farosa stood still for a moment.
"Honored Lady Farosa, please grant your forgiveness. This is a Witch, a Witch not even a month old. If she could receive your blessing, Witch Goddess, her life surely would go smoothly from here." Kanako spoke softly, holding a tender baby girl in her arms.
A child, Xu Yang impregnated Kanako, creating a "child of Xisheng," and a Witch, no less. She was pregnant since last year and had given birth not long ago.
"You all..." Lady Farosa’s face underwent significant changes, "How could I— why should I..."
Shortly thereafter, noise came from outside, and those invited by Lady Farosa entered.
"Wow... everyone... why have you all come? Miss Tenjouin! Du Qianqian... Mizuiro Yoshioka, Miss Kirino Reisei! Miss Nanase Kizuna... ah, and Little Fool, Laila, how did you all find this place?" Kanako exclaimed as she saw the group walking in.
"Weren’t you the one who invited us?" Zina questioned, glancing simultaneously at the child in Kanako’s arms, "You... you have a child!"
"Wow!" Xu Cheng tiptoed, looking at her father’s biological child. Though initially upset upon hearing this, she rejoiced at seeing her chubby cheeks.
"Lady Farosa..." 101 saw Lady Farosa standing still.
"I’m sorry, this was supposed to be a small party, inviting Lady Farosa to bless our newborn child... but since everyone is here, we will immediately prepare a suitable size banquet." Xu Yang didn’t know why everyone had come, but since they were here, it was good to gather.
"Please bless our child, esteemed Witch Goddess, bless our Witch baby, there is nothing better in the world than this, the greatest gift you could offer this child." Kanako looked at Lady Farosa pleadingly.
Everyone in the living room directed their gaze towards Lady Farosa. If she said "no" here, perhaps the lineage of the Witch Goddess would shatter.
Lady Farosa leaned forward, looking at the tender baby, who opened her eyes and cooed. Lady Farosa sighed softly. Was this really what she had to go through? Nevertheless, Kanako was a human; it was normal for her to have children, whereas Witches did not possess this "ability." Moreover, the situation was now too delicate; though Lady Farosa was reluctant, under everyone’s watchful eyes, she had to do what the Witch Goddess should do.
All Witches are her children, all shards of the Witch Goddess. Reminding herself of this, Lady Farosa convinced herself and softly blessed the child.
"...You shall possess peerless beauty and unparalleled talents, you will achieve your own reputation and powerful strength upon reaching adulthood. Embrace your path, newborn Witch, even though your father is a saddening man and your mother is a greedy woman, you will overlook their negative influences. Become truly proud and powerful, fully embracing this era."
