Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva

Though he said this, Hexia still found it hard to feel at ease.

"Alright, this is the place." After walking a short distance, \'Botis\' led Hexia to a small clear pool surrounded by stones at the deeper end.

"Come, sit by the pool. I\'ll teach you this afternoon\'s work."

Sitting down together with Hexia, Botis took a bell from his waist and started shaking it gently, eliciting a sound that was soft and pleasant.

This simple melody wasn\'t just an auditory sensation; Hexia could even sense a kind of light and joyful emotion from it, which helped calm her nerves considerably. As the bell tinkled, rustling sounds came from the rainforest, and creatures of various shapes crawled out—colorfully patterned and poisonous. Hexia didn\'t dare look closely and closed her eyes.

"Okay, you can open your eyes now, \'Dantalion\'." Botis\'s voice came through.

The girl cautiously opened one eye, but seeing all sorts of venomous snakes, scorpions, spiders, and poison dart frogs around the pool, she was so frightened that she closed her eyes again.

"It\'s okay." After saying this, Botis shook the bell again to calm Hexia\'s nerves.

"The main product I\'m producing in this area is these adorable little guys." Botis started by introducing Hexia to the various types of poisonous creatures.

Most of them were beings with transcendent powers, ranging from Sequence 1-3, with a few surprising ones at Sequence 4.

"Although I am only at Primordial Sequence 3, they all obey me and won\'t cause trouble. As for how I\'ve tamed them, that\'s a long story. If \'Dantalion\' is interested, I can tell you about it later. But for today, let\'s get accustomed to the work content first."

"Unlike ordinary animal toxins, the poisons from transcendent creatures carry a hint of transcendent concepts. They don\'t rely solely on chemical or neurotransmitter effects, which means they can\'t be treated with neutralizers or serums."

This explanation only served to make the girl feel more frightened.

"However, if you can analyze their characteristics and make an Antidote Potion that targets them, you\'ll be safe. Typically, this is related to Alchemical Pharmacy."

"While these little guys in my flower room may look scary, their secreted toxins have many uses. Some can be used in Alchemical Pharmacy, and others are ingredients for some high-end perfumes. That\'s why you need to regularly collect their venom."

"I sometimes can\'t manage it all by myself, so I\'ve asked you to help today."

Under Botis\'s explanations and instructions, Hexia finally nodded her head. Step by step, she tiptoed carefully to interact with these little creatures, but the process...

"Ooh..."

An exquisitely green snake coiled around Hexia\'s leg, and then a fluffy large spider landed on her head, while she was also holding a strikingly red poison dart frog in her hand.

"Ahaha, they all really like you." Botis laughed as he helped Hexia remove the spider from her head.

"Here, take this. Just shake it lightly and they\'ll obey." He continued to explain the key points and then handed the bell in his hand over.

Hexia cautiously followed suit, took the bell in her hand, and gave it a slight shake. Then, a pleasant jingle spread out like clear chimes on a winter night, dispelling restlessness.

After hearing the bell, Botis first nodded with a smile, but soon a look of surprise appeared in his eyes as he watched the bell in Hexia\'s hands and her serious yet cute demeanor.

Before long, the snake calmed down and stopped moving. This allowed Hexia, despite her fear, to slowly unwind the snake from her leg and place it aside.

"Don\'t let it go, grab its head and then make it spit out the venom," Botis instructed and demonstrated on the side.

"Uh, okay," the girl carefully pinched the snake\'s head, bringing it close to a glass vessel, and then gently pressed on it. The snake cooperated, opening its venomous fangs and slowly secreting colorless venom.

"Very good, \'Dantalion,\' you learn quite fast," Botis gave a thumbs-up in praise and even clapped her hands.

"Continue, next is this blue-bottomed wolf spider."

A wolf spider larger than Hexia\'s hand was placed in front of her. This wolf spider, a Natural Sequence 3 Tree Dwelling Wolf Spider, had limbs adorned with vivid blue fur, while its torso was a darker black color.

When the spider crawled onto Hexia\'s hand, she was so frightened she dared not move, breaking into a sweat on her back.

"Don\'t panic, take it slow, touch its front legs gently with your fingers, don\'t worry, I\'m here for you."

After a while, Hexia dared to try, and the wolf spider moved, but it was like the scene dropped frames, teleporting without the middle part.

"Look at those pairs of black gem-like big eyes, cute isn\'t it?"

No, not cute at all, Hexia retorted in her heart.

Fortunately, after gradually adapting, she began to carefully repeat the previous process of extracting venom.

Thus, with Botis\'s coaxing and trickery, Hexia eventually got used to it and her speed increased greatly.

As dusk approached and the last creature\'s venom by the pond was processed, Botis washed her hands and then came over to Hexia, helping the girl who could not stand up because of sore legs.

"You\'ve worked hard." She patted down Hexia\'s clothes, then gently hugged her.

"Let\'s go eat something, I\'ll treat you today, and then I\'ll tell you how I tamed these creatures."

Just like the day before, the two sat at the bar in \'Vurowus,\' but today Botis was treating.

"\'Dantalion\' has come again," Vurowus said with a beaming smile, and then she started to prepare dinner.

"Are you curious how even wild Transcendent animals can be tamed and obedient?" Botis took sips of the drink Vurowus had just mixed and began to explain to the girl.

"Actually, this is a branch of the Songstress\'s power, or one of its uses."

"Songstress?" The girl was puzzled; she naturally knew what a Songstress meant, but had never thought about this aspect.

Songstresses are not just singers, more precisely, they are Transcendents with the Talent of Soul Resonance, and singing or music is merely a means to spread and utilize this Talent. The Rose Federation, this enormous country, was established hundreds of years ago by a Color Level Songstress.

After nearly twenty years of negotiation and hard work by this Legendary Songstress, 186 giant corporations and 37 Interstellar Organizations eventually came together, established a new twelve-article constitution, and founded the nation, marking the origin of the Federation\'s initial 31 Star Domains.

To this day, the Rose Federation has expanded to 239 Star Domains, yet the birthday of the Songstress titled \'Golden Flame Rose\' remains a national celebration day for the entire Federation. Her grand half-body portrait still stands in the Federation Council Chamber, depicting her holding a bouquet, seated in front of an ornate red chair back, flanked by green leaves and blooming roses, with Fairies dancing among them.

This half-elf, half-human girl performed miracles, establishing the first great state in human civilization amidst the ruins of the 6th Primordial Era.
