Unexpectedly, Professor Qiao was actually very gentle.
She was the type who was "cold and aloof, yet kind at heart." She did not begrudge helping the two witches who had come seeking assistance, and even took them to the nearby plant greenhouse, where she found a clump of Green Hill Cactus to demonstrate how to deal with withered roots and make the rootlets grow again:
"...Provided they haven't completely rotted."
"...Be careful with the water. Their regenerative power is extremely strong. As long as you provide mana equivalent to 500 magic power, they can regrow their rootlets. But it will also weaken them, and you can't use magic to force their growth again for fifteen days."
Professor Qiao wore a black long coat that reached her calves, a black skintight bodysuit, and brown riding boots. Compared to other witches, her muscle definition was far more pronounced—enough to make anyone envious just looking at her.
Jiang Han could not help sneaking a glance at Lilith beside her. Although the Fox Witch was also wearing a black skintight bodysuit, her figure was clearly not as impressive as the professor's.
Lilith was listening with rapt attention.
"...If you want to stir-fry it, add scallions and a little minced garlic."
"...For slow stewing, you can first use the cooking spell [Orange Peel Spell] to remove the thorns, then stew it with half a cup of green soup packet and pepper. Add some beef brisket at the end. It tastes great."
Without realizing it, Jiang Han began listening seriously as well.
Quietly wiping away her drool, she really had not expected this tall, brawny professor to possess such a delicate culinary heart! It was as unbelievable as a high schooler who skipped class, beat up teachers, and dined and dashed becoming a marine research expert!
