Otaku Witch-Chapter 225 200. Little Fox’s Side Business
Although Dorothy was already half-dead from exhaustion, as long as she did not express or show that fatigue, her pretense was, in fact, still perfect.
At least for now, the young girls around her all wore expressions of astonishment as if they had seen a deity, and even the three witches were no exception.
This ability to speak a word and cause celestial changes, reversing decay to prosperity, was truly awe-inspiring and easily led one to think of the miracles performed by deities in various myths.
Although witches were often considered deities by otherworldly races, they knew their own limits. Only the top-tier powerhouses could genuinely be regarded as deities, and until they themselves reached that level, they were merely witches, bound to act within their capabilities.
Of the three witches, the strongest was naturally Senior Mia. She had already reached the Rank of Great Witch, her prowess surpassing that of a mere student, and even some adult witches who had struggled in society for years might not match her.
But as for repairing a dead planet, enabling it to regenerate, Mia could...
Well, by spending a great deal of money she could indeed manage, and it wouldn't be too difficult, but if she were to do it alone, without anyone's help, she had to admit it was beyond her ability.
If you asked her to destroy a planet on her own, that wouldn't be a big issue, and she could manage it with some time.
But creation was much more difficult than destruction. The myriad issues it touched in various fields were simply too numerous, and normally, it wasn't something one person could achieve.
Of course, witches had created worlds before; for instance, a man-made world sphere sat as a decoration in Mia's living room at home, which her mother had commissioned several Peak Witches to create with a large sum of money.
When Mia was still young, she had curiously asked her mother when she too could create her own world, and her mother had given her this answer.
"You will have to wait until you grow up and become a Sage for that, my dear. As soon as your mastery of the magic from the Nine Major Factions reaches the Peak, the workings of ordinary worlds will hold no secrets from you, and you will be free to create any world you wish."
Thus, creation of a world, a Miracle, was either a collaborative effort from several Peaks of different schools, or the arrival of a Sage was necessary. In any case, it was simply not a realm ordinary witches could touch.
Of course, compared to creating something out of nothing, repairing a world was much less difficult, but this reduction in difficulty made little difference to regular witches.
After all, if a house worth a billion gets its price cut to ten million, ordinary people still can't afford it.
By the standards of creating a world, the task of world repair doesn't require mastery from all Nine Major Factions at their Peak, but complete expertise is certainly necessary. However, the witches capable of full expertise across all schools are few in the entire world....
Oh, the Little Fairy truly is one of them; she's the second monster after the Devil King, so no worries there.
Thinking of her beloved's earlier grand achievements, Senior Mia suddenly calmed down.
However, while in theory there's no issue with the Little Fairy, what about her Magic Power? Where would she get so much Magic Power, and hopefully, it wouldn't exhaust her too much.
The Golden Princess suddenly thought of this, and a wave of worry took hold of her. She was preparing to step forward to help share some of the Little Fairy's burden, for she had some mastery in both Alchemy and Evocation and could help share some of the work.
However, before Mia could step forward, she saw a Nine-Tailed figure suddenly appear beside the Little Fairy, bursting with presence.
"Sister, is there anything I can help with? I have some understanding of Potion Studies and the Mental Faction,"
Audrey said, maneuvering the Little Puppet beside her.
Little Fox was, after all, the offspring of a Succubus and a Nine-Tailed Fox, and although she suffered from social anxiety, these ancestral instincts remained strong within her. While everyone else was still marvelling at how formidable Senior was, she was more concerned about whether Senior's body could handle it, focusing intently on this particular concern.
As for the various complex shifts in magic power around Senior, she did not understand most of them, but there were two types that seemed very familiar: they related to the Potion Studies School and the Spiritual School, which she had studied.
Well, although Little Fox actually wanted to learn Puppetry Technique more, the family magic had to be learned to pass her two mothers' expectations, especially after her sister ran off, so it had fallen upon her to inherit it.
Whether it was the Succubus or the Nine-Tailed Fox, both were adept at manipulating mental illusions: hypnosis, transformations, dream infiltrations, and so on were all specialties. Therefore, her family's magic excelled in the Spiritual School.
As for potion making...
Pure Little Fox didn't even know why her family excelled in this, as her social anxiety kept her from getting involved in family management. She only knew that her two mothers, aside from their pursuit of the arts, also owned a chain of magic potion stores called "Secrets of the Night", a rather strange name.
Aside from some common magic potions, the store also had three exclusive secret formulas, which Audrey had learned.
The first was a Beauty Soup Potion, a magic potion for maintaining the body. Once consumed, it made one's complexion radiant, skin moist, body naturally fragrant, and charm incredibly enhanced for a certain period.
The second was the Dragon and Tiger Elixir, a special potion that enhanced physical recovery and energy restoration speeds. After drinking it, one would not feel tiredness for a certain period and would always maintain vigour.
As for the third kind, it was rather odd, called the Fertility Powder. It was a secret passed down from the Nine-Tailed Fox's tribe, said to be an ancient immortal potion once obtained from relatives of celestial foxes in the Eastern Universe. Its effect, as the name suggested, could reduce some of the side effects of witches giving birth and enhance the child's aptitude, thus indirectly increasing the frequency of pregnancies.
Well, although the birth ritual of witches was considered a gift from the world, it still had its side effects. It permanently sacrificed a certain proportion of magic power from both parents to conceive offspring, which is why powerful witch families usually only had one child.
After all, regular witches could reproduce freely since the lost magic power could be recovered in a year or two, but for powerful witches, it might take several hundred years to return to their peak after having a child.

However, it was also because of this secret medicine that Audrey was born; otherwise, her two Peak Witch mothers would have never dared to have this second child, as giving birth could likely have caused them to drop a rank.
What baffled Audrey, however, was that among these ancestral secret medicines, the best-selling was the second kind. It seemed that the first and third types were more potent, which was truly confusing.
Could it be that modern witches are so stressed that they need daily doses of medicine to replenish their energy?
Little Fox couldn't understand.
However, regardless of whether others needed it, Audrey didn't know, but what she did know was that Senior appeared rather frail right now; she needed a substantial boost.
Even though Senior managed to look relaxed, this act couldn't fool a child of a Succubus and a Nine-Tailed Fox. Little Fox immediately recognized how frail Senior was; otherwise, she wouldn't have been so worried about Senior's health and rushed over to help.
"Here, Senior, open your mouth. Drink this,"
While commanding the puppet, Audrey snapped out several vials of Dragon and Tiger Elixir from behind her tail and shoved them directly into Senior's mouth.
"Glug, glug...."
