Chapter 180: Was It Worth It?

The Space Fragment was sealed inside something like a glass ball. This thing was less than a millimeter thick, only fifteen centimeters in diameter, and inside it was sealed a fragment that looked like broken glass. Its jagged edges were slightly distorted, showing a state of dissipation, but this dissipating state was forcibly frozen, so it would not change in the slightest.

Looking at the fragment from the front, one could see scenery that did not belong to the surrounding environment, as if a piece had been cut out from some map and pasted onto it. A Space Fragment itself was a fragment that carried a piece of broken space. The visible scenery was from that broken space. From the outside, it was only a small part, but the ‘scenery’ inside was far more vast than what was seen now.

Some wild Space Fragments even contained certain treasures inside, but not many people who discovered such a thing dared to enter and search for treasure… Leaving aside whether one could even enter, even if it were possible, being inside a Space Fragment that could collapse and dissolve at any moment was simply playing with one’s own life!

As for processed Space Fragments, the space inside would be shredded and reduced to chaos, so nothing that was originally inside could possibly remain.

After storing away this ball that sealed the Space Fragment, Dan Marina casually tossed it into her Personal Space. With this special ball providing isolation, throwing it into her Personal Space was fine. Without isolation, no fool would take a Space Fragment and throw it into their own Personal Space—that would be a way to wish for a shorter life.

“Give me half a day.”

“Half a day? A little dragon needs that long?”

“Heh, do you think a little dragon who has caught the attention of the Sanctuary Church is ordinary? His ability is very special. You’ve experienced it yourself, right?” Dan Marina said bluntly. This was not something that needed to be hidden. Since the Pale Woman had come to her to find his traces because of Zheng Yichen, what other reason could there be besides this one?

The Pale Woman had several dragon lives on her hands. Why would she pay so much attention to a mere ordinary member of the Dragon Clan? So there was no other reason, and there was no need to hide this matter: “Therefore, the result of half a day’s work is me pushing myself to the limit.”

“Haha.” The Pale Woman gave a meaningless smile. Pushing herself to the limit? She had truly never seen Dan Marina push herself to the limit to do anything before. It was best to just treat it as a joke.

In half a day, Dan Marina handed something like a compass to the Pale Woman. Ignoring its function, it really was just a compass. Dan Marina had seen Zheng Yichen make one, and now she had quickly learned and copied it: “Search in the direction this thing points. You’ll definitely find him. Hmm~ There’s some fluctuation in terms of time, but this is already the limit.”

Something that could directly locate and lock onto Zheng Yichen? Perhaps some Tracking Spells could indeed do that, but basically forget about Prophecy Magic—it couldn’t be found. But Dan Marina had other methods! She couldn’t find Zheng Yichen directly, but she could find the Sanctuary Church’s Saintess directly!

Perhaps Zheng Yichen’s ability had aroused the Pale Woman’s interest too much, making her not immediately look into some extra details. Otherwise, she might not have come directly to find Dan Marina. As for tricking her? So what if she was tricked? It was a transaction both parties willingly agreed to anyway.

In short, she wasn’t lying. Relying on this ‘Person Pointer,’ the Pale Woman could indeed find Zheng Yichen—just indirectly through the Sanctuary Church’s Saintess. But that was just the process, and it didn’t affect the result, right?

As for the process? If she ended up in conflict with the Sanctuary Church’s Saintess because of searching for Zheng Yichen, that was not something Dan Marina would be responsible for. After all, she had already given the Pale Woman the best path.

In the future, if the Pale Woman noticed something was wrong and came back to confront her? Hmph! The moment she set her sights on Zheng Yichen, conflict had already become unavoidable.

“Little Dragon, you really… attract Witches.” After the Pale Woman left, Dan Marina shook her head slightly and couldn’t help but mutter to herself in a low voice. Then she smiled somewhat inexplicably. Right, which Witch wouldn’t become interested in Zheng Yichen after coming into contact with his abilities? And after learning about his other trait—being able to ignore the Witches’ fate that was like a Curse—this interest would likely become even stronger.

Many Witches who knew about this would want to use him to eliminate the hidden dangers most likely to cause their own destruction.

Even she was very tempted by this… and had even taken action!

“…Did you find all the things?” Seeing Dan Marina return not long after going out, Loris stood in front of the small house and asked.

“How could it be that fast? I haven’t even found half yet.” Dan Marina waved her hand. “I came back because I have something important to say. The thing you were worried about has happened.”

“Oh…” Loris nodded slightly and turned back into her house. Dan Marina shrugged behind her. Seeing her reaction like this, Dan Marina actually felt relieved. Being calm was good. If she had eagerly shown killing intent, that would have been troublesome.

Neither of them was in great condition. Even though that woman wasn’t at her peak either, if conflict arose, it would likely end in mutual injury. It wasn’t that she was particularly formidable or had overwhelming combat power , but she herself was just too troublesome. Dan Marina was once called the Witch who toyed with fate, while the Pale Woman was called the Undying Witch!

As the name suggested, she was incredibly difficult to kill. Back then, that large-scale operation by the Sanctuary Church, which united multiple races and even had the Dragon Clan putting in great effort, still failed to kill that woman. If it were any other Witch, even one with greater power, they would have long been dead.

But her? She stubbornly survived, and to this day, she was still living just fine. Her tenacity was evident. One shouldn’t fear powerful enemies, but rather those who were hard to kill and troublesome!

“In short, she’ll definitely waste a lot of time trying to find the Little Dragon, and I’ve already set the trap.” Dan Marina said after walking into the small house. When it came to tricking people… having walked a long path in the art of trickery over many years, if she really focused on it, sneaky ideas came one after another. For now, let her play slowly with the Sanctuary Church.

When she had played enough, the backlash power on Dan Marina’s side would probably be completely expelled, and the Prophecy Art on Zheng Yichen would be almost broken. By then, if the other party didn’t want to give up?

Even if she couldn’t kill the other party, Dan Marina had prepared a follow-up plan.

Loris glanced at Dan Marina. Her words revealed too much information: “What did you get from her?”

“Something good.” Dan Marina smiled and took out that ball that sealed the Space Fragment. “Tell me, without this thing, how many pockets could the Little Dragon carry at most in the future?”

“Somewhat not worth it.”

“You value the Little Dragon so much, of course you think it’s not worth it.”
