Meanwhile, in the room downstairs from Dorothy’s, Audrey had just finished her bath.

Completely naked, the Little Fox was sprawled on her bed, clutching a spellbook, her flawless beauty serious at the moment, her alluring, slender, foxlike eyes filled with tension.

Yes, she was already impatient to start implementing the seduction strategy her senior sister had taught her that evening, just as Sister Chi had said, she had to succeed this time.

If it were up to her, she would normally be too shy to disturb Sister Chi at such a late hour, but today her senior sister had pointed out that it was precisely because she had always been too polite that their relationship had stalled, unable to move to the next level.

People are only their most courteous with strangers, whereas with true acquaintances, things are actually much more casual since they know the other person won’t mind these things.

So, what she needed to do now was to be slightly overbearing, but not too much, to gradually dissolve the sad barrier between them.

The senior sister’s suggestion was to try chatting during the other’s personal time, but to ease the other’s alarm at being disturbed so suddenly, it was best to prepare something of interest as bait...

All in all, with a little guidance from her senior sister, Audrey had an epiphany on the spot and believed it to be true.

Therefore, even though her heart was beating so fast it felt like it might leap out of her chest, her pretty face flushed enticingly, and her breathing became somewhat hurried, Little Fox still mustered the courage to send that voice invitation.

After all, she thought, the only bait that might attract Sister Chi was probably her own voice.

As the daughter of two of Witch World’s top divas, Audrey’s voice was actually far more seductive than her appearance. Her singing could make Angels blush with shame and Sirens weep. This was also why her mothers were confident that Audrey would become an unprecedented leading figure in the entertainment industry.

Unfortunately, her perfect voice was wasted due to her social anxiety; she would get so nervous on stage she couldn’t even speak, let alone showcase her singing.

However, luckily there was the Magic Network, and at least during live broadcasts, the cold camera and microphone didn’t make Audrey anxious, allowing her to at least do voiceovers and music for Puppet Shows.

Nowadays, almost all of her fans watched her livestreams just for her voice; as for the puppet operas? Heh, who would watch that anyway?

Audrey felt somewhat helpless and depressed about this, but she had no choice but to accept the reality. After all, even her favorite Sister Chi had initially followed her simply due to craving her voice.

Thinking about it that way, having a voice chat with Sister Chi might spark some interest in her.

That’s what Audrey thought.

But still, even so, during the agonizing wait after the invitation was sent and before the other party connected, Little Fox was sweating all over, feeling each second like an eternity, wondering what she would do if the person on the other end refused or got angry.

That was just her nature--tending to fret unduly over things, or people, she cared too much about.

Fortunately, the wait wasn’t long, as the other side quickly connected to the chat, and as soon as the line was open, the Little Fox couldn’t wait to speak.

"Hello, Sister Chi, can you hear me?"

"Yeah, I’m here. Tell me, what can I do for you, Phantom?"

The reply came quickly from the other end, in a voice that was very different from Audrey’s but not the slightest bit inferior, filling Little Fox’s ears.

Audrey: "...."

Little Fox was stunned for a good ten seconds before her ears twitched, bringing her back to her senses from the celestial-like melody. For a moment, she didn’t know what to say.

She had imagined Sister Chi’s appearance and voice many times before, but now that she was hearing the voice of her beloved for the first time, Little Fox felt her imagination had been far too limited.

"Sister Chi, your voice sounds so nice."

After a long while, Little Fox finally said something so innocently.

This was the first time in her life that Dorothy had heard someone’s voice that was just as good as her own, and that someone happened to be the person she adored. For a moment, Audrey’s heart was filled with joy.

Indeed, she couldn’t help but think if she could be with Sister Chi in the future, what their children’s voices might sound like.

"Thank you, Phantom sister, your voice is very pleasant as well. I really like it,"

A light laugh came from the other side of the Spellbook, and soon Audrey heard her beloved sister respond that way, which immediately made Little Fox roll around on the bed with happiness, her tail swaying joyfully behind her.

Hehe, sister said she likes me...

Fortunately, just when she was about to forget the matter at hand in her excitement, her senior sister’s teachings came to mind, prompting her to quickly slap her own face.

Although she still couldn’t suppress the happy smile from within, Audrey managed to hold back her laughter and began to talk about the topic she had prepared in advance.

"Sister Chi, I wanted to discuss with you about transforming my approach to live streaming,"

According to her senior sister’s teachings, the topic of conversation should be something of interest to the other person, and there must be room for them to contribute. People always like to play the role of the teacher. Once you set the stage, even if they initially don’t want to talk to you, they won’t be able to resist saying a few words, and if you set the stage well, they could keep talking with you until dawn.

Though Audrey hadn’t fully grasped her senior sister’s words, she decided to give it a try.

Sister Chi had advised her to transform her live streaming approach a long time ago, but Little Fox still wanted to try a bit harder. Therefore, the topic of live streaming transformation was obviously a good choice, as it could stir up Sister Chi’s desire to perform.

Sure enough, no sooner had she mentioned it than the other side became enthusiastic.

"Oh dear, my silly sister, have you finally seen the light? I told you long ago, with your god-given voice, why stick to the hopeless Puppet Show? I know you don’t want to show your face, but you could still be a Magical Network Songstress without showing it."

And hearing such a response from her crush, Little Fox felt both joyful and slightly pursed her lips.

"Sister Chi, you misunderstood. I don’t intend to give up Puppet Shows. What I meant by live streaming transformation is actually to improve the content of the Puppet Shows."

When it came to her dreams, even if it was her crush on the other side, there was one thing Audrey would never compromise on.

"A faceless Magical Network Songstress wouldn’t be able to perform on the grand stage of Venus Theatre, and I dream of one day performing my Puppet Show on the biggest stage in Witch World."

Little Fox said with conviction.

But having said this, she began to feel anxious; she feared her words would displease her beloved and stop her from wanting to continue the conversation.

Wuwuwu, Audrey, oh Audrey, why can’t you hold your ground, this topic wasn’t easy to find...

Little Fox was somewhat angry with herself.

However...

"Is that so? Well, if it’s your dream, then that’s another story. What a noble aspiration! Indeed, you’re my sister. I support you, so tell me your ideas."

The response that came from the other side seemed not only free of anger but also appreciative of her.

Relieved, Audrey felt as if she had grown even fonder of Sister Chi.

"Well, Sister Chi, this is what I think..."

...The two witches happily chatted away...
