The illusory magic made her vaguely see the shadow of His Excellency Fantasy Demon.
But Phantom was a famous killer in the entire southern wizardry region. He shouldn't have anything to do with this young man, right?
While the woman in the black dress was pondering, a young girl was sitting cross-legged on a soft blanket in front of her. A short table was placed in front of her, and the table was filled with all kinds of strange ingredients. There were panicking Beauty Fruits, crying Starshell Clams, and sesame ants carrying "bread chips" on their backs.
The girl held a flame in one hand and some seasonings in the other. She shook off the sparkling powder from time to time, and soon, the ingredients turned into delicious food.
The girl was drooling as she stuffed the food into her mouth. The sweet taste made her close her eyes in joy.
The woman in the black dress was looking at her crystal ball. When she heard the crunching sounds, she looked up.
She rubbed her swollen temples and looked at the girl who was enjoying her meal.
She put down the crystal ball and slowly walked to the girl. "Greya, you finally got a slim body. Why do you have to put on so much weight again?"
There was a hint of intimacy and disappointment in the black-dressed woman's words.
Greya opened her eyes in confusion. "Sis?"
The woman sighed and took out a transparent glass bottle from her space ring. The bottle looked like a pot with a big belly, and it contained a sparkling green liquid inside.
The liquid was so clear that one could see stars in the sky when shaking it.
The woman in the black dress opened the bottle, and a rich aroma immediately spread out. Greya looked at the glass bottle with great joy.
"Can I have a sip, sis?" Greya swallowed her saliva and chewed on the crying clam.
The woman in the black dress poured out some of the liquid and gave it to the girl.
When the liquid touched the air, an even stronger aroma penetrated the mist of time and space and spread to an unknown location. Rays of light came from the liquid and entered the glass.
Greya only took a small sip of the liquid. At first, the liquid only exploded in her throat. But when the liquid reached her stomach, she was suddenly enveloped by a powerful mana. Waves of mana rushed into her body and filled her eyes with laziness and confusion. She felt like she had a pair of wings on her back, which carried her to a green grassland. White clouds floated above her head. Flowers and grasses danced in the wind. Even the brightest sunlight became gentle.
She felt so comfortable and warm. She felt like she had returned to her carefree childhood.
The woman in the black dress put away the glass bottle and waited for Greya to wake up from her drunken state.
A moment later, Greya opened her eyes again. But this time, she no longer looked as innocent as before. Instead, she looked more mature and seductive. "Tsk, tsk, tsk. What a nice jar of Butterfly's Dream. So satisfying!"
With that, Greya closed her eyes and enjoyed the aftertaste of the wine. She then looked up at the woman in the black dress.
"It's just some of your stock, Felicia. You don't have to be so calculative." Greya's voice changed from innocent to seductive.
"I'm just giving you a piece of advice. It's rare for you to become so pretty. Don't waste your great body again," Felicia snapped.
"Wasn't I pretty before?" Greya raised an eyebrow. "Besides, why would I lose weight? I'm not showing off to anyone. Besides, I like having more meat on my body so I can store more energy. " Greya recalled her recent experience. "When I was sucked into the Nightmare Realm, I don't think I could have made it if I didn't have enough fat and energy."
Whenever Greya talked about her experience in the Nightmare Realm, she could not help but shiver.
"I still don't know. Did you enter the Nightmare Realm with your body or your soul?" This was the first time Greya talked about the Nightmare Realm since she found her. Since Greya was willing to talk about it, Felicia decided to play along.
Greya shook her head. "I think we went in with our bodies. But our souls were separated from our bodies. Sigh … I don't know. I don't want to think about it. I lost a lot of my memories, and I don't want to find them again. It's too scary. "
"Don't think about it then," Felicia comforted her.
Greya waited until she felt better before continuing, "Speaking of body shape, 'Sprout' was too skinny. She couldn't find any nourishment in the Nightmare Realm, so she starved to death."
"What about Granny Shikaku? I remember the three of you were sucked into the Nightmare Realm. "
Greya shook her head. "That old bitch. She knew her Telekinesis was cut off after leaving the Haunt World, so she ran away while Ya and I were still in shock. I don't know if she's still alive or not."
"But even if she's alive, she won't be able to return to the Haunt World. The entrance to the Haunt World is controlled by Moonfrost Union. News of her hunting 'Sprout' has spread across the entire wizarding world. Moonfrost Union won't let her go. "
Greya's expression darkened again at the mention of "Moonfrost Union". "I heard that Moonfrost Union kidnapped all my employees and sold them as slaves?"
Felicia also showed a hint of hatred when she talked about this topic.
Alchemists were in short supply, and alchemy potions were extremely expensive. Many wizards couldn't afford them, so they turned to Gourmet Wizards. This was the current situation of Gourmet Wizards in the southern wizarding region.
If there had been a Gourmet Adept capable of carrying the banner, they would not have ended up in such a sorry state. Unfortunately, Gourmet Wizards were too weak. Even Greya, who was determined to become a Gourmet Wizard, could only protect her Barbie's Restaurant.
After her "death," her "protection" also lost its effect, which led to the current situation of the restaurant employees being displaced.
"Only a small number of them managed to escape back to Candy House. Most of them were captured." Felicia's face darkened.
Veins bulged on Greya's forehead. Her eyes were burning with rage. "Damn you! Bastards! They promised to take good care of my restaurant before I went to the Haunt World, and this is what they did! "
Felicia patted Greya's shoulder. "Calm down. This is our current situation. Moonfrost Union isn't the only one. Many wizard organizations are involved. Heal your wounds and recover as soon as possible. We still need you to become a Gourmet Wizard in the future. "
Felicia felt sorry for the gourmet apprentices who failed to become wizards, but she didn't really care about them. Otherwise, it wouldn't be hard for her to save them.
Felicia's words didn't make Greya happy. She understood Felicia's position, but she was fundamentally different from Felicia. She was very attached to her old friends whom she had been with for decades. Now that something like this had happened, she was really sad.
Felicia saw that Greya was still unhappy, so she considered and said, "That little pudgy boy you introduced last time is doing well. His roast meat is delicious. I asked him to stay in my tavern for now. His roast meat and wine are quite famous now. I estimate that with his current wealth, no one in his generation can compare to him. He might even be richer than some official Magi. "
Greya paused for a moment before she realized who Felicia was talking about. "Alan? I didn't know he could do that."
Alan was a potential gourmet wizard she accidentally found on The Redbud. Back then, she was planning to leave the wizarding world and look for a chance to break through, so she introduced Alan to Candy House.
Speaking of Alan, Greya couldn't help but think of another person, the cute little boy. She had given her most beloved baby to him. She wondered how he was doing now.
After a moment of silence, Felicia took out a small box. "The effect of the Larval Butterfly Wine is about to wear off. Eat these Soul Orbs and see how they fuse."
Greya opened the box and looked at the translucent Soul Orbs inside. She sighed. "Have you thought about what to do with this girl's soul when I come back?"
"Should we give her a new body?" Felicia asked.
Greya shook her head. "That's the only way. Actually, this body isn't that strong. I don't know how long it'll take for it to return to its prime state. I want to find my own body more. Too bad … I lost it in the Nightmare Realm. I don't want to go there again. And I don't know how to get there … "
Greya swallowed the Soul Orb while speaking.
She escaped from the Nightmare Realm, but her body was still there, and her soul was greatly damaged. She could only rely on the Soul Orbs produced by Soul Genesis Garden to slowly heal her soul. This was why Felicia brought Greya to Dark Castle for a temporary stay.
Greya swallowed the Soul Orb and felt her soul being replenished a little. She slowly lay down on the bed.
Soon, the main soul of this body would slowly awaken.
When Greya was about to fall asleep, she suddenly asked, "I saw you using Butterfly Spirit. Did your enemies come all the way to Dark Castle?"
Felicia shook her head. "No, it's a young apprentice who broke into Dark Castle's territory. His stealth ability is quite interesting. I sensed it as soon as the teleportation array appeared. However, no matter how I tried, I couldn't find him. It was only when I used the Butterfly Spirit that I sensed him. "
"An apprentice? Who dares to come to Dark Castle? Isn't he afraid that his blood will be used as bathing water? "Greya gave the apprentice a disgusted look.
"Judging from his age, I think he's a virgin. Too bad he's a male. I don't think anyone would use a virgin's blood as bathing water. " Felicia paused a little. "He must be here to save Diablo. Not bad. Too bad he's working for Puppet Master."
Felicia didn't notice that Greya's eyes had turned childish again.
"But his illusions and invisibility are very interesting. They remind me of Mister Phantom. I heard you're friends with Mister Phantom. Do you want to take a look?" Felicia tried to ask Greya to look at the crystal ball, but Greya was looking at her with a pair of innocent eyes.
"Sis, do you have any more green wine? I want some more. "
Felicia was speechless.
