Although the Black Queen kept talking about how far and difficult the road was, her movement speed after turning into the Old Witch was not slow at all.
Gu Xi had to go all out just to keep up with the Black Queen's movement speed.
In barely ten minutes, they had rushed across sixty or seventy li and reached the edge of the Princess's territory.
As the Black Queen walked, she chatted idly with Gu Xi.
The Black Queen usually fought with the Princess, but the Black Queen was not actually alone. Some distance from this forest, she had a kingdom of her own, as well as another Witch Forest used to raise her subordinates.
To the Black Queen, this kind of Witch Forest was even more important than a kingdom.
Whether or not a witch had a Witch Forest in her hands determined whether her strength would be a whole tier lower than others. Without one, she could not even enter the Witch Council unique to this world.
If she wanted any materials, she could not produce them herself and had to go outside to buy them. A witch like that would be looked down on in this world.
Listening to the Black Queen, Gu Xi suddenly asked a question.
"That Princess who can turn into a pig—does she count as a kind of witch too?"
Hearing this question, the Black Queen's steps clearly paused. In the end, she said somewhat helplessly, "She does. She just refuses to admit it.
"So not only does the Witch Council have no place for her, she'll also be treated as an enemy by the Witch Council and hunted down."
Gu Xi was just about to ask what the Witch Council was like when the Black Queen's gaze suddenly turned in one direction.
