Chapter 1463: Thick-skinned

"Hmm..." Balan fell into deep thought, hesitated for a long while, and then carefully said, "There is a small hole in the wall of the great witch's backyard. Axiang and I are good friends; she always asks me to bring her tasty treats and fun things. Every time we meet, I pass them to her through that hole."

"Are you going to meet now?" Cheng Ziang asked with concern.

"We just met yesterday." Balan honestly replied.

"Didn't she and the great witch perform a ritual last night to protect the village? Shouldn't you go and visit her and thank her?" Cheng Ziang gently persuaded.

"It seems so..." Balan scratched his head, seemingly confused.

"Why does the great witch not allow them to interact with outsiders?" Cheng Ziang curiously inquired.

"I'm not sure, but their status is very sacred. They only meet with everyone during rituals and help the great witch conduct them," Balan answered.
