The smile on the girl's face froze, replaced by confusion as she carefully examined Shi Jue. He was quite a handsome youth, with clear, spirited black eyes and fair, crystalline skin that made even her feel a little envious. Seriously, why was a boy so pale and tender-looking?
After thinking it over, she was certain she did not know anyone named Shi Jue. Yet he had called out her true name. Although they had never met, she did feel a faint sense of familiarity. Had they encountered each other somewhere before, only for her to forget?
"How do you know my name? Have we met before?"
Shi Jue was also stunned. Why had that name slipped out of his mouth just now? This girl should be the Witch. Just as she was wondering about it, Shi Jue was thinking the same thing. They had indeed never met, yet he too felt an indescribable familiarity toward her.
"Probably not. I'm Shi Jue. Now we can get acquainted."
Although this Witch truly was an elf-like beauty, Shi Jue had already met quite a few proud daughters of heaven, such as Yan Ruyu and Liu Shen. He had developed a strong resistance to beauty and would not completely lose his head over it.
"Qing Xuan—you already called out my name yourself. Let me introduce myself properly. I'm Xia Qingxuan; that is my real name. Of course, many people also call me the Witch. Call me whatever you like." The Witch smiled brightly, her eyes curving as she looked lively and nimble.
As expected, Shi Jue was slightly surprised. She was that Witch from the Upper Realm.
"By the way, that Big Black Hand was you, right? I've long admired you. I've always wanted to meet this famous figure from the Void God Realm."
