Chapter 1416: The Demon's Game Rules

The "mermaid" entered the water, and the cold water splashed up wet the entire front half of Xia De, who was standing on the floating ice. He heard silver bell-like laughter, laughter full of emotion and tenderness.

The demon on the shore took a step back, but felt unable to continue retreating. Xia De also wanted to retreat, but resisted the urge and stood there.

He reached out to wipe the water on his face, hearing the woman's laughter that made all his blood boil, getting closer and closer under the water.

Splash~

So ripples appeared on the pitch-black water surface, and Xia De's gaze couldn't control itself from looking under his feet. And the woman's head with beautiful long black hair had already emerged from the floating ice illuminated by the firelight.

Water droplets fell along skin as white as milk, and the facial features were a mixture of the advantages of all the beautiful girls Xia De knew, while those purple eyes, almost identical to Luweiya's, looked at him with a smile that made Xia De's scalp tingle and his soul tremble.

She seemed to see through Xia De's soul directly. A strand of black hair was bitten by white teeth along with her lower lip. Her voice was a bit hoarse, a bit lazy, but also so intoxicating:

"Long time no see, interesting soul."

At this very moment, Xia De still subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva; even though this wasn't the first time he had seen 【Desire】, he still had no resistance at all to her charm that exceeded the mundane, just like the first time.

The only effort he could make now was to confirm with his peripheral vision that the demon on the shore hadn't left.

The night was still deep, and the firelight from the forest on the shore swayed on the water surface and floating ice, and also swayed on the woman's side face. The burning night and the beautiful woman shouldn't have appeared in the same frame, but when 【Desire】 appeared, the burning forest gave her a kind of even more cruel beauty. Instead, it gave her a kind of even more heart-wrenching feeling.

She didn't care about the demon on the shore at all, but looked up at Xia De with deep affection:

"Very good, I see your arrogance. Very good, really very good."

The voice was very light, like a small brush brushing against the skin, and also like Little Mia gently scratching the back of his hand. Something huge was swaying under the floating ice and water, and Xia De heard the sound of a tail slapping the water from an unknown location on the river surface:

"Hello."

After all, this time, it was Xia De who actively summoned 【Desire】, so he endured the restlessness, discomfort, and inexplicable panic, and opened his mouth to greet her.

The woman's head in the water bloomed with an even more brilliant smile, a smile that seemed to make this snowy moonless night brighten up:

"I said you would definitely summon me with that perfume bottle. Oh, I smell it, yes, the scent on you is very good..."

The pretty little nose on the wet face sniffed a few times, and Xia De felt his heart beat hard a few times because of this.

"This is the scent of a mother dragon, a very beautiful mother dragon." Xia De nodded subconsciously, and at this time, the white right arm extended from under the water to the right of the woman's head.

The index finger of that right hand extended, the other four fingers curled, and then the index finger tapped lightly on the side of her cheek:

"Interesting soul, what do you want me to do for you this time?"

Xia De finally turned his gaze to the demon on the opposite bank. Several ripples appeared on the water surface, and the pretty head and the arm also turned backward together. However, it wasn't that the two rotated together with the head as the center, but rotated 180 degrees with their own centers.

"Oh?"

A charming light laugh sounded, and because Desire was no longer looking at Xia De, Xia De felt a bit more relaxed.

"Lady."

The demon on the shore also adjusted his state at this time, bowing respectfully to greet her.

"So it's you."

Facing the demon, Desire's tone became a bit flatter.

"Lady, this is a matter between me and him." "Please shut your mouth."

She said very gently, and then turned her head and hand to look at Xia De again:

"What do you

want me to help you do?" Biting her lip again:

"You can make any request to me, yes, any."

Xia De subconsciously wanted to retreat, but immediately realized he was on floating ice:

"If I want you to help, what price do I need to pay?" There was a smile in her purple eyes, and her right hand rested lightly on the edge of the ice where Xia De was, and then her head suddenly arched upward, almost allowing Xia De to see whether there was a neck under the head:

"If you want me to eliminate him, what you have to pay is just to kiss me. Yes, a very excessive kiss; I will put in the most enthusiasm, letting you know what a kiss really is."

The pink tongue was bitten by the upper and lower teeth, revealing only a little bit of the tip of the tongue. Subconsciously, Xia De's eyes looked at those red lips. While his heart beat violently, he hurriedly recited "My Mia~" in his heart to stabilize his inner self.

That cat doll was inside his chest at this moment, which seemed to be able to give him strength and courage directly:

"No, no, I don't have that many requests."

Xia De shook his head hurriedly; he suspected that as long as he dared to kiss the other party, he would probably never be able to get rid of her. Besides, he had already prepared the method to solve the demon; what he needed now was to create a battle situation favorable to himself:

"I want to play a game with it." He pointed to the demon on the opposite bank:

"I want to play a game with it. Yes, a fair game. Since it didn't agree just now, I can only ask you to help me make it agree. If I win, I want the ownership of Osenfort's soul. If I lose, I will not leave the Osenfort manor tonight."

The conditions Xia De proposed were still the same as just now, and this time, the demon with his back to the firelight on the shore actually agreed without hesitation:

"No problem." "So you are asking me to be the referee."

The woman beside the ice smiled and said, licking her lips, her right hand brushing the wet black hair by her ear. The sound of water was pattering, and the skin near the water surface had a reddish color different from the white skin because it was feeling the coldness of the ice water.

"Then, do you know what I want you to pay?" Her right hand lifted slightly, palm upward, which allowed the part of that arm above the elbow to completely detach from the water surface. The bare white arm had extremely symmetrical lines, and the skin seemed to have a soft light originally, showing a strange luster that almost made Xia De bend down and take a bite under the firelight on the shore.

He felt completely unable to control his head, because the outsider discovered that he was imagining uncontrollably what the armpit of such a beautiful arm was like.

"Yes, I know what you want."

Although there was no hint, Xia De understood. Although somewhat regretful, he still took out the small note about 【Desire】 he had just obtained from the demon from his pocket.

The note flew lightly into the woman's palm, and the palm pinched it and re-entered the water, as if that white arm was a wriggling flesh-colored white snake:

"You really understand what I want."

She praised Xia De with a light laugh, and the humming sound from her throat while speaking made Xia De feel that this night was getting hotter and hotter.

"A woman with secrets is the most charming. So, from now on, please don't easily inquire about my affairs."

Although she was speaking with a smile, Xia De clearly felt the threat in this sentence.

"Gede, you set the game rules; you are very good at this."

The head in the lake turned to the back again, saying to the demon by the lake.

The latter stared at Xia De, but it could be seen that although it was angry, it didn't mean it wanted to kill Xia De immediately:

"Yes, I am very good at playing some interesting games with mortals."

The demon extended a finger:

"The rules are very simple: the scope of activities is limited to the burning forest and the Osenfort manor. I will pull this place into my domain, using fire, trees, and stones to create a maze. Some animals will be lucky enough to be selected and put into my domain, and then I will reflect myself into the appearance of any animal, waiting for you in the depths of the maze. You have to walk out of the maze and catch me within an

hour, but you can only point out once."

"As a rule for a fair game, after Gede starts the layout, he cannot make changes during the game, and the animal form cannot hide or escape other than animal instincts. And interesting soul, you cannot exclude suspects by murdering other animals, nor can you fly in the maze. But apart from that, you are allowed to use any means."

The woman in the lake said gently, and Xia De nodded; these rules indeed looked fair. The Stone Mirror Demon-Gede was good at using its own stone mirror to reflect various images. But if the means were not limited, as a fifth-ring Shushi, Xia De had plenty of ways to find the different animals.

As for whether both sides would use skills outside the rules, that would depend on their own abilities.

"Do you want me to give you some hints?"

In the sound of splashing water, the pretty woman's head asked with a smile: "Pay some price, and I can give you some hints about the answer; this is very important to you. For example, do you want to eat some more of my meat? Or, how about kissing the back of my hand? This doesn't count as cheating in the game, because, I am the referee."

The demon on the shore said nothing about this, Xia De shook his head hurriedly, and 【Desire】 complained to herself in a tone that made people unable to help but pity:

"It seems my charm still cannot move you. Well, after your game ends, remember to come to the lakeside to say goodbye to me. I know you still want to get other things from me."

She winked at Xia De, those pretty purple eyes really looked like Luweiya's:

"The game starts after Gede's demon domain construction is completed. After the game starts, until the final end, you are not allowed to directly harm each other by any means."

She insisted on the word "directly", and after a pause, announced:

"Then, let's start."
