The Jade Automaton was a special messenger and emissary for Heavenly Cardinal Manufacturing, serving the corporate elite since its creation.
Shi Qing was no exception; in fact, it was quite familiar with Lu Jing.
It witnessed how Lu Jing babbled in the courtyard as a baby, how she gradually learned to speak, read, and groom herself, and how she evolved from a foolish cub into a nimble Little Witch.

It was considered wasteful to let Witches grow up in rented rooms, picking up bad habits in the dregs of society, when they had the potential to become pillars of Xia in the future.
