Chapter 1580
In short, although the witch and Little Mia showed "bad intentions" during the drug testing process, it also proved that the "Cat in the Bottle" potion worked on Xia De as well. In this way, the adventure of opening the time key again the day after tomorrow morning would not need to be waited for.
Since Miss Galina arrived in the evening, she naturally had dinner with Xia De afterward.
After dinner, she had no intention of leaving. Originally, she was chatting with Xia De in the study about Green Lake and the progress of his investigation, but as they chatted, the two went from sitting opposite each other on both sides of the desk to sitting side by side on one side of the desk; then, for some reason, the witch took off her black high heels and put them on the desk very uncivilized, then hugged Xia De's neck and sat sideways on his lap; then, when Tifa entered the door with the maid misses to change the water for the teapot and bring fruit, Xia De, who was almost suffocated, finally got a chance to breathe; finally, for some reason, the location of the conversation changed from the study to the bedroom, and the usually strong duchess rarely showed her weakness and shyness, and Xia De felt that he could never smell enough of the perfume scent of "Witch's Flavor."
When the witch woke up from her sleep on Tuesday morning, hugging Xia De's neck and not letting him get up on time, she asked a very strange question:
"Xia De, you said you were doubting your origin. So, is it possible that you have succubus blood?"
The fair right hand pinched the tip of her long red hair to tease Xia De's side face.
"What? Galina, how could you think of such a strange question early in the morning? No, this is absolutely impossible."
Xia De shook his head. With the doctor's sensitivity to demons, it was impossible not to discover strange bloodlines like half-demons. Moreover, the answer of demon bloodline couldn't explain the weirdness on him at all.
"Then why are you so damn charming?"
This belonged to the love talk between the two, and Xia De smiled and kissed her forehead:
"Get up quickly, I have to go to Green Lake in a while to meet the pharmacist miss who is suspected to be a great witch."
"When you are hugging me and stroking my back, mentioning other great witches, you really know how to choose topics."
The red-haired duchess also answered with a smile, but just wouldn't let Xia De get up. When she was lying on her side near the window looking at Xia De, her head and shoulders were outlined with gold edges by the morning light outside the window, and those golden eyes were becoming more and more beautiful:
"You are really strange. Your self-discipline sometimes makes me doubt whether I really have any attraction to you."
"Don't doubt your own charm; whose charm can compare to a great witch? It's just that self-discipline is a manifestation of maintaining one's own strength, and I appreciate this habit of mine very much."
"Luvia Anatt's charm can probably compare to us great witches."
She said this on purpose, just not letting go of Xia De. So, Tifa and the two young maid misses behind her, who happened to walk to the bedroom door and wanted to knock to ask if breakfast should be prepared now, heard the crisp slapping sound at the same time, followed by the duchess's surprised cry with other emotions.
The maid misses outside the door all blushed, and then looked at each other and smiled. Not long after, Xia De left the bedroom with Galina, who was wearing a nightgown.
"I might not come to see you very often recently."
At the breakfast table, the witch, who was holding a dinner knife elegantly, suddenly said to Xia De, and Xia De raised his head in surprise:
"Still angry about this morning? Or because of last night? It doesn't matter; two hours is long enough, I don't mind, maybe your state yesterday wasn't..."
So he was kicked hard under the dining table, and the girls in maid skirts around him tried their best to hold back their laughter; they were indeed professionally trained. And on the dining table, Miss Galina still had an elegant expression:
"In a few weeks, I will set off for the Green Lake area. Before that, there are a bunch of troublesome things that need me to deal with, and there are many unavoidable meetings. You can also realize how important the Green Lake negotiations are; even for me, I must put all my energy into dealing with them."
She shook her head at Xia De:
"Staying by your side all the time, I feel like I have no interest in dealing with those things. So I won't visit often recently... If I don't come to find you, you must not not come to find me."
The red-haired duchess reminded:
"I don't really not want to see you; I just..."
"Want to restore your working state."
Xia De finished the second half of the sentence for her, and the witch nodded with a smile:
"You really understand me. I also hate to do this, but there is no other way. After the Green Lake matter is over, I will compensate for the neglect during this period."
The ladies of the Cavendish family really have surprisingly consistent ideas and thoughts.
So, under the repeated instructions of Miss Galina that Xia De must take the initiative to find her, Xia De sent off the witch's party after breakfast. However, Tifa, who was walking at the end, quietly stuffed a note before leaving, which made Xia De very curious.
That was not a note for the maid miss to ask Xia De out for an affair; the black-haired head maid instructed Xia De that he could visit Galina Manor on the weekend, and remember to bring a bouquet of flowers or send some special small gifts bought in the Green Lake area.
【She is really amazing.】
"She" whispered in Xia De's ear.
"What?"
【It's getting late, you should set off.】
The time agreed to meet the pharmacist miss was nine o'clock that morning. Xia De talked to the boy in the trash can at the back door of the hotel for a while, which took some time, but he still appeared at the entrance of the Green Lake Hotel twenty minutes early. He even looked with interest at the two carriages of "Paradise Island Pharmaceuticals" parked at the hotel entrance—the two drivers were both low-ring female mages dressed as men. When he pushed the door and went in, the short brown-haired female mage was actually already sitting at the table under the oil painting with the Green Lake scenery.
"I appreciate your sense of time."
When Xia De pulled out the chair opposite her and sat down, he praised softly, and then asked the pharmacist miss who was putting down the newspaper:
"Any big news in the newspaper?"
The newspaper was moved away, revealing the pharmacist miss's handsome face. Her features were very three-dimensional; although this face was fake, it must have been disguised based on a real face.
That fair face had a bored expression, and in the emerald eyes that looked very bright in color, there was a sigh about boring news:
"The newspaper is talking about the progress of the negotiation meeting. The report claims that the two sides have made good breakthroughs on many issues in the first round of negotiations in Green Lake City."
"'Many issues' refers to what?"
Xia De asked curiously, and the female mage shook her head:
"I am also curious how those reporters managed to write a whole page of news without any substantive content. In my opinion, before the big nobles who can really make decisions in the subsequent delegations of both sides arrive, this negotiation will not have more progress regarding Pantanal; at most, it will just be repeated tug-of-war on unimportant trifles like air governance agreements and the liberalization process of academic exchanges."
She sighed and looked at Xia De:
"So, are you ready? If you are ready, let's land on the island."
After speaking, she suddenly frowned, then sniffed, and looked at Xia De in surprise:
"The perfume on you, why do I feel like I've smelled it somewhere before?"
Xia De was shocked; he had clearly taken a bath this morning:
"Are the noses of these female mages all this sharp?"
Thinking this in his heart, he said:
"Miss, I don't have the habit of wearing perfume."
The pharmacist miss looked at him suspiciously, but because the smell was very faint, and she wouldn't get closer to Xia De to sniff, she didn't think much about it. Xia De breathed a sigh of relief in his heart:
"I actually don't have anything to prepare, just go with you again. Instead, are you ready? Among the materials for making the key, the bone of a footless person, flawless amethyst, and flawless obsidian, these three are definitely no problem, but the lord's blood, the lord's wife's skeleton teeth, and the memory about the newborn, have you already obtained them?"
"For the blood of the Edwards descendants, I will use my blood; for the lord's wife's skeleton teeth, we will go to the island to dig them up; I have already determined the location; the memory of the newborn has not been obtained yet. I only got the news from my followers last night. Now we are going to get it. In Mikaela Blast Furnace City, the journey might be a bit long; I hope you don't mind."
"I don't mind, let's go now. But you still have followers? I thought you were the kind of lone Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi; after all, you do everything yourself."
Xia De said as he stood up, and the pharmacist miss shook her head:
"Important things should still be done by oneself. I trust myself more; this is one of my life principles."
Because the pharmacist miss didn't allow Xia De to enter within 1 meter of her, Xia De knew very well that it was impossible for the two to sit face-to-face in the carriage. He had thought they would have to take a boat or ride a horse, but after going out, the pharmacist miss waved her hand, and the two carriages marked with "Paradise Island Pharmaceuticals" drove over.
The pharmacist miss made a gesture to Xia De, signaling him to choose one first.
"I say, you wouldn't have a cleanliness obsession, would you? In order not to let me get too close to you, you even arranged two carriages? I was curious when I entered the door just now why the Paradise Island Pharmaceuticals carriage was here."
If it were the first time they met, the cold female mage would definitely not respond. But when they escaped the island last time, the relationship between the two had improved significantly, so in the surprised expression of the driver dressed as a man, the pharmacist miss actually smiled at him:
"Don't test me; I do have a relationship with this pharmaceutical company. If you want to buy potions in bulk, I can even give you a discount. Get on; don't waste time; there are still many things to do today."
Saying that, she turned her back to Xia De and warned her two followers with a stern look, and then the two boarded different carriages, and the two carriages carried them toward the south.
