Chapter 5

Chiki, are you okay?" Alice immediately hugged and stroked her favorite chicken. "Oh, poor thing."

Elena had treated Chiki well, and her favorite chicken was fine. Alice felt angry at Amora for making Chiki a target.

"It doesn't hurt anymore, does it?" Alice asked while carrying Chiki.

The chicken just shook her head. Alice thanked Elena for helping Chiki. She wanted to take Chiki to her room. A few steps later, she met Sandy. He was standing in front of her.

Alice had to keep her distance from Sandy to prevent Amora's bad intentions from rising again. That woman really looked like she was jealous of Alice when she was close to Sandy. She immediately went to the cultivation room and brought Chiki.

"Alice, wait!"

Ah, damn, Sandy was chasing her. She didn't want to look back, so she kept walking. She had to be vigilant; Amora could be stalking her secretly.

"Alice." Sandy managed to grab Alice's hand. "Why do you seem to be avoiding me?"

"Let go of me; it's just your feelings."

Sandy let go of Alice's hand. She hurriedly left Sandy's presence. Fortunately, there was no Amora watching her, and she managed to enter the cultivation room.


Alice's hand was groping left and right. However, she felt like she couldn't find Chiki beside her. Forced, Alice had to open her eyes and endure sleepiness to look for Chiki.

"Chiki, where are you?" Alice rubbed her eyes and yawned.

However, she did not find Chiki here. Alice felt anxious. Suddenly, she heard the sound of something falling. She walked around sneakily to find who had entered here.

"Who are you?" Alice saw a pretty-faced girl eating sorghum in her room.

Sorghum was Chiki's favorite food. She didn't want it to go to waste.

"Give it back! You can't finish it!" Alice said.

"Alice, it's me."

The woman's voice was so soft. However, she did not recognize the woman and had never seen her in this Vestinel territory before. The beautiful woman, who had blue pupils, continued to stare at her.

"Who are you? I didn't recognize you before."

The woman felt annoyed and patted Alice's forehead. "I am Chiki."

Alice widened her mouth in shock. She still couldn't believe that this was her favorite little chicken that had changed shape. She shook her head in disbelief.

"You tricked me, didn't you? You're not Chiki!"

The woman was angry with her and showed the scars from Amora's attack earlier. Alice was stunned for a while and looked at the beautiful woman. Maybe she really was Chiki? How could a chicken turn into a beautiful woman like this?

"So, you really are Chiki?" asked Alice, who still didn't fully believe it.

Chiki tried to convince Alice. "I'm hungry now, and I love this sorghum."

It was already midnight, and all the residents of Vestinel must have fallen asleep. She wanted to ask about the woman in front of her.

"Hmm... you still don't trust me, apparently?" Chiki stopped chewing her food and approached Alice.

Alice immediately took a step back and did not want to pull out any moves to attack. She just needed to ask someone she could trust. Then, the woman climbed onto the bed and patted the blanket.

"You always put me to sleep here, Alice."

"I wanted to ask you." Alice climbed onto the bed and approached the beautiful woman.

"Ask what? I'll answer all your questions."

"Why did you turn into a chicken? And now you have turned into a beautiful woman like this." Alice was still curious about what had happened to Chiki.

Chiki's face immediately turned sad. Alice felt guilty for asking Chiki.

"I was cursed by an evil witch, Alice, and turned into a chicken," said Chiki. "I still can't become fully human. Every midnight, I would turn into a human, then dawn would come, and I would turn into a chicken again." Chiki's face was still sullen.

Alice had full trust in Chiki and would not ask any more questions about her past. She believed that someday Chiki could turn into a full human. She hugged Chiki tightly, then told her to go to sleep.

Since it was already midnight, surely the residents of the Vestinel region were already sleeping, including Sandy. She wanted to see that man tomorrow and ask him about Chiki.


When Alice woke up and looked to the side, it was true that Chiki turned into a chicken again when the sun rose. While Chiki was still sleeping, she immediately went out and wanted to meet Sandy. However, before that, she wanted to make sure first that Amora was not following her secretly.

"It seems to be safe already."

Alice stepped outside. She met several people from the healing clan and greeted each other with warm smiles. She also saw Elena but did not find Sandy. Why didn't that man appear in front of her?

"Where is he?"

Alice looked right and left, hoping to see Sandy now. Suddenly, Alice paused and realized something. Could it be that her behavior last night offended Sandy?

"Is it true that he's angry with me?"

In that case, Alice wanted to apologize to Sandy directly for her rudeness. She still remembered when Sandy asked her a question in a soft tone, and she just walked away without wanting to meet his face.

"Alice ...."

Feeling her name being called, Alice immediately turned to Elena. The woman asked her.

"You seem to be looking for someone, right?" Elena smiled at Alice.

"Yes, I'm looking for Sandy. Where is he now? I haven't found him anywhere since earlier," said Alice, who was worried about Sandy. "He's not sick, right?"

Elena just shook her head. Then Elena told her where Sandy was now. Alice felt happy and immediately thanked her teacher. Without wasting too much time, she immediately headed to the place Elena had mentioned earlier.

"Sandy, I will apologize to you for what happened last night. And I-"

Alice immediately stopped talking because she met someone who was blocking her way. "Get out of my way!"
