Chapter 1294: Difference and Sameness

~10 min read 1,845 words

"Meow?"

Hearing the cat's meow, the two looked at Little Mia. This cat was now in an awkward posture, stepping on its own cat tail with its front paws, looking at the flame on Miss Fiona's tail with surprise.

Xia De roughly understood what this smart cat was thinking:

"Your tail cannot touch the fire. Although you have the bloodline of the Son of the Sun, if you touch the fire rashly, your tail will still be burned into a bald tail, which won't be pretty. Fiona... she is not an ordinary person."

But Mia seemed unable to understand such complex sentences, still staring at the red dragon girl's tail.

And that tail was slowly reaching toward Xia De:

"If you are curious, try touching it... only touch it once."

Fiona emphasized. Although Xia De felt that his actions were a bit abnormal...

【So you know.】

Although he knew his actions were a bit abnormal, Xia De still couldn't control his curiosity and reached out to grab the tail.

In fact, when he was in the coffee shop last time, Xia De had already touched the tail, but that was just a momentary touch, while this time he was allowed to grab it directly.

The tail covered with traces similar to dragon scales was softer than Xia De thought, and he didn't know if it was because it was absorbing the Sun Fire, so the temperature was much higher than normal body temperature. It seemed that the tail was also densely covered with nerve endings to perceive the environment, because Xia De noticed that as he grabbed it lightly, Fiona's face immediately flushed, and the tail was pulled out of his hand directly:

"Alright, your curiosity should be satisfied."

Fiona turned her body sideways, not letting Xia De look at her flushed face, which made Xia De feel more and more that he had probably really done something incredible.

Fortunately, this was the Fifth Era, and Fiona wouldn't spread this matter around. If this matter reached the ears of the girls around him, he would probably be teased for many years like Professor Manning.

The sight of Fiona's tail burning with flames still made the cat fall into deep thought. And Xia De didn't waste time because of the soft tail. He reached into his pocket, and those Sands of Time infected by the night were indeed brought over:

"Look, I got this."

Fiona took the jar in surprise to check, and was very curious about why Xia De used a pepper can to hold them:

"I actually have one more thing to say."

She returned the Sands of Time to Xia De, touching her head embarrassedly:

"Moon Dream has the effect of healing the spirit and soul. The sleep I fell into after you left, I couldn't determine how long it lasted, but it did allow me to recover some lost memories."

Without waiting for Xia De to ask, she took the initiative to say:

"Miss Fiona and Miss Ouwennode let me come here to establish the academy."

She looked at Xia De with a flushed face; this was an expression of excitement:

"Xia De, you and the teachers met the great 【Door of Radiance】 in the Thousand Tree Forest. The god gave the teachers knowledge, which can open up a permanent space to establish a permanent safe zone in any dangerous location. Afterward, through the knowledge obtained from the Gadis Library, Miss Fiona determined five locations on the five continents where academies could be established. These locations are remote and dangerous, but they fully meet Miss Fiona's requirements."

"Is Eternal Night City one of them?"

"Yes."

The red-haired girl nodded quickly:

"Miss Fiona and Teacher Ouwennode went to inspect other locations respectively. This location assigned to me is relatively safe. The teacher even said that if I succeed, I will be the second principal. I don't have this ability. Teacher Ouwennode was probably comforting me... It's a pity I lost my luggage."

The big tail burning with flames swept the ground unconsciously.

Xia De could now fully determine that the location they were standing on at this moment was highly likely the location of St. Byrons in the Sixth Era. It's just that Xia De still didn't know how Fiona persuaded that God of Night to give this land to St. Byrons.

"Be more confident. Since Teacher Ouwennode chose you as an apprentice, she naturally saw your advantages. Even if you don't believe in yourself, you should believe in Teacher Ouwennode."

Speaking of which, Xia De often encountered young witches who were not so confident. After all, the teachers of young witches were sometimes too dazzling, or rather, the profession of witch had too many geniuses.

Xia De thought he was comforting Fiona, but Fiona's mood became even lower when she heard his words:

"The teacher chose me... Teacher Ouwennode once told me privately... you, are the most ideal apprentice in her heart."

Before Xia De had thought about how to continue this conversation, Fiona added:

"If it weren't for you, who cannot exist in our time and space for a long time, the teacher would not have chosen me as an apprentice."

Her two hands were clasped together and hung in front of her chest, her thumbs rubbing against each other.

Mia was still looking at her tail tip.

"I actually don't have the talent for the moon. You see, I have practiced Moon Dream for so long, and I only have the current results, so I understand."

Fiona's voice became lower as she spoke:

"I am probably just a substitute. The teacher treated me as your substitute. Every time we talked about you, the teacher and Miss Fiona would praise you... except when I prepared dinner and used my fists to smash rocks directly, the teacher rarely praised me."

Xia De quietly looked at her small fists, thinking of his "Red Dragon Power" which came from the girl in front of him.

As for Fiona's performance at this time, it was obvious that she had thoughts in her heart that were amplified by the special environment of 【Eternal Night City】. He had seen this kind of scene many times. In a special area that was not suitable for normal people to stay, once they stayed for too long, it was normal for their spirit to have problems.

Fiona Fiona Delage was, after all, only at the eleventh tier.

"Miss Fiona and Miss Ouwennode don't like me more and dislike you less. You are by their side, and I am not by their side. Memory will beautify a person's image, and they are probably not used to praising students in front of their students. If I were often by their side, they would also discover many of my shortcomings."

Xia De said, seeing Fiona looking at him curiously, so he coughed:

"For example, I like playing card games very much, regardless of the occasion. As long as it is not a matter of life and death, I can suggest playing cards at any time. Also, my daily routine is very irregular, I often go to bed very late, and don't want to get up the next day."

He exaggerated his shortcomings a bit.

"This doesn't count as anything."

The red dragon girl said in a low voice. Xia De said again:

"But you and I have nothing to compare. We are different after all. This is like, my cat's tail cannot be compared with your tail."

"So, am I a cat tail... there is no comparability at all, right?"

The red dragon girl's voice became lower and lower.

"No, no, no, what I mean is, I am the only man a witch can touch. Do you understand? No matter how outstanding you are, no matter how much you win the favor of Miss Fiona and Miss Ouwennode, it is impossible to be the same as me."

Fiona looked up at him, blinked at him, and Xia De had already straightened out his train of thought:

"Fiona, answer me one question honestly: you will definitely have your own apprentices in the future. Will your feelings and views on your apprentices be the same as your feelings and views on me? Even if the other party is quite outstanding, very outstanding."

The tail swayed gently:

"Of course not, even if she is outstanding, she is..."

The young girl said halfway, then looked up suddenly, and a look of sudden realization appeared on her face.

"Look, you understand."

Xia De said with a smile, and Fiona explained again:

"But that's because I have... for you..."

She lowered her head again, not embarrassed to say it:

"But Miss Fiona and Miss Ouwennode don't... hmm..."

She understood again, maintaining the posture of lowering her head, but looking upward. Only girls of youth age would look good making this movement:

"Understood, understood."

The young girl looked at Xia De with very dangerous eyes, and Xia De was quite familiar with this kind of look:

"What do you want to do?"

Witches of the Fifth Era, because of the influence of the era and the surrounding environment, were much bolder than the ladies of the Sixth Era who had various concerns. For Fiona, since she knew what she wanted, she naturally wouldn't hide her thoughts and wait for Miss Fiona and Miss Ouwennode to use their status to "eliminate" her.

So, just as Xia De thought, the red dragon girl reached out and hugged his neck, and just by jumping slightly, she kissed him.

This time Xia De really couldn't break free. No matter how good his physical fitness was, it was impossible to compare his strength with a hybrid red dragon.

"Meow~"

Taking this opportunity, Little Mia jumped from Xia De's shoulder to Fiona's shoulder, and then leaned down to continue staring at the big burning tail.

"Thank you for explaining all this to me, Xia De."

After letting go of Xia De, Fiona's mood seemed to have completely returned to normal. Not only did her complexion get much better, but even a smile from the heart appeared:

"Now I am not confused at all. You are right, comparing with you is meaningless. What I should really compare with is the other apprentices of the teacher."

A brilliant smile appeared on her face, obviously quite satisfied with her approach:

"Then let's continue walking. Oh, you said it, you want to accompany me to the end of this journey, and then safely send me out. Xia De, remember to keep your promise."

As she spoke, she kissed Xia De on the side of his face again. Her self-adjustment ability was stronger than anyone Xia De had ever seen. ===== CHAPTER 1295 =====

"Then let's continue walking. Oh, you said it, you would accompany me to the end of this journey, and then safely send me outside, Xia De, remember to keep your promise."

Saying this, she kissed Xia De on the side of his face again. Her psychological self-adjustment ability was stronger than anyone Xia De had ever met.
