Observing astrology, communicating with nature, accelerating thought, viewing the world profoundly... Although these might lack direct combat power, they sound like all good things!

After listening to the cat witch's explanation, Leon's eyebrows involuntarily lifted slightly. His interest in these eighteen Dating Secret Techniques greatly increased.

"Are these secret techniques from your Witch Kingdom allowed to be passed on? Can I learn them?"

You want to learn the Dating Secret Techniques?

Upon hearing this, the cat witch blinked and then hesitantly nodded:

"There's technically nothing that can't be passed on, but these secret techniques themselves seem to have limitations. It's difficult for people from other countries to master them, except for those from our Witch Kingdom."

Hmm... It seems not that people from other countries can't learn it, but those without the bloodline of the Ten Descendants of Dating can't. These Dating Secret Techniques and humans might be two different systems, but I probably don't have a problem?

After glancing at the effects of wearing [Half-Witch Blood], Leon casually brought out this badge, gaining half of the last Witch King's talents. He then suggested:

"Why don't you try teaching me? What if I'm just one of those who can learn it?"

"This...alright."

Though Leon, as someone upright and pure, didn't seem like someone who could learn the Dating Secret Techniques, the cat witch, who owed quite a few favors, did not refuse seeing his insistence. After a moment of pondering, she asked:

"Astrology secret techniques and Spiritual Number Calculation require memorizing numerous star maps and number formulations. Totem cultivation and communicating with nature also take a very long time to cultivate a medium. The only one I can teach you right now is the Dance Nuo Secret Technique. Do you want to learn it?"

The Dance Nuo Secret Technique... is it learning to dance?

Recalling when he "subdued" the Dancing Society and the cat witch's unique, wild dance moves by the bonfire, Leon hesitated only briefly before nodding his head.

"I want to learn it. Can you teach me when you're rested?"

"I can do it now, I'm pretty much rested."

Hearing this, the cat witch chuckled, stood up from the sofa, folded the tail of her black robe up and tucked it under the waistband at her back, revealing two sections of legs like young lotus roots.

Next, she rolled up her sleeves to reveal her arms, pulled out a few small clips from her pocket, folded the turned-up sleeves into a flower pattern, clamping them above her elbows, completely altering the robe for ease of movement.

"Watch closely."

The progress over the past two days was very smooth, and with the shadow of death mostly lifted, the cat witch was in a good mood. She lifted the skirt formed by altering her robe, and twirled lightly, then smiled and said:

"Next, I'll first dance some relatively simple introductory dance steps. Take a good look, and then tell me what you feel."

"Feelings, you mean?"

"Just the purest feelings."

As if knowing Leon would ask like that, the cat witch gently swayed her slender waist and smilingly said:

"There's no need to memorize my dance steps. Dance is not something rigid; the feeling in your heart is the only standard. Without the involvement of the heart, no matter how accurate the steps and posture, it's merely ordinary dance and not the true Dance Nuo Secret Technique."

Wow, is it that abstract?

After hearing the cat witch's "idealistic" teaching, the initially intent-on-memorizing-steps-and-movements Leon had to shift his gaze from her arms and legs to her overall movements.

Noticing the change in his gaze, the cat witch nodded in satisfaction, then gracefully leaned back, unfolded her upper body with a few elegant stretches and then instantaneously "sprouted" out.

That's right, sprouted!

With the talent boost from [Half-Witch Blood], in the instant when the cat witch leaned her upper body back, her white arms silently came together and gently unfolded to the slanted upper direction, Leon felt his eyes blur slightly, and the originally elegant black-robed woman completely vanished.

In her place was a tender sprout emerging from the post-rain soil, with a few rain droplets clinging to the leaves. Whether it was the pitch-black moist soil, the snow-white sprout breaking through, or the few sparkling rain droplets, they all carried a vitality so exuberant it moved the heart.

"How was it?"

With her lithe form slightly bouncing, completely freed from the "soil" upon shedding "rain droplets," the cat witch asked with a smile:

"Did you see it clearly? What did you feel?"

Did I see it clearly... I didn't quite realize it before, but now I see it clearly.

Upon hearing the cat witch's question, Leon finally snapped out of that vigorous vitality, his gaze returning to the cat witch.

He was then incredibly surprised to find that those few raindrops on the sprout were actually the sweat beads by the cat witch's cheeks, the black and moist soil was her black gauze robe dampened by sweat, and the two snow-white sprouts breaking through were her dazzlingly white slender arms.

"Amazing."

With genuine admiration, Leon couldn't help but praise:

"The moment you started moving, you completely vanished from my sight, as if you turned into a sprout breaking through the earth after the rain.

Moreover, when you finished the leaning back and bending motion, and straightened up again, it was like water droplets sliding off the tip of the sprout and the leaf bouncing back after being pressed, the action was remarkably expressive."

"..."

Oh boy... Although my dance of [Sprouting] is indeed the most basic move, you learned it a bit too fast, didn't you?! I watched my mother dance quite a few times before I comprehended [Sprouting], how can you comprehend it faster than me, the daughter of the Grand Witch King?!

"Watch another!"

Seeing Leon comprehend the entire [Sprouting] from just two or three steps, the cat witch fell silent for a moment. She lightly bit her lip with a bit of an unwilling-to-lose spirit and danced around again, breathlessly asking:

"This time? What did you see this time?"

"Sunset, evening clouds, and a bonfire fiercely blazing in the wild."

Glancing at the faint blush on the cat witch's face after intense movement, her body also tinged within a light pink after stretching, and the healthy blush on her calves, Leon couldn't help but exclaim:

"So the changes in the dancer's body are also a part of the entire Dance Nuo Secret Technique? Amazing! Uh... though it seemed a bit disjointed, not as harmonious as the previous moves."

"..."

No way... you even saw through that?

Unexpectedly, despite choosing a considerably more difficult dance and secretly reducing two moves, the cat witch found Leon seeing through it effortlessly, stubbornly unwilling to lose, she took a deep breath, intending to perform an even more challenging dance.

But just as her feet spun and arms spread, the constraints from [Bedtime Story] that had been greatly lessened, suddenly surged back at full force, not only restricting the cat witch's movements but instantaneously draining her limited strength!

"Careful!"

Though feeling the sudden increase in constriction, Leon, affected far less due to his [Materialism], quickly stepped forward to embrace the cat witch's waist, following her spinning momentum and bringing her into his arms, thus preventing her from collapsing.

Meanwhile, as the sweaty cat witch leaned powerlessly against Leon's arm, blushing and breathing gently like a kitten, Miss Clash, detained by the Shaman Society for several days, along with the utterly bewildered Prince Freckles, were promptly delivered to the doorway by the Grand Witch Court's captain of the guard...
