Chapter 1633

Hearing Xia De's words, Mrs. Kaufman's smile stiffened. She didn't expect that the man beside this female tycoon spoke so rudely, and didn't expect that he was actually from Kesenlike.

She exchanged a few more pleasantries with Audrey before getting up to leave. In the conversation, she even revealed that Delarion intended to give the owner of Paradise Island Pharmaceuticals a title, as long as Paradise Island Pharmaceuticals could support certain proposals of Delarion.

Audrey did not express her position, but cooperated with Xia De to change the subject, sent her to the cabin door, and then sent her ashore by a maid.

After the cruise ship sailed out of the pier in the rain, the lady with brown hair smiled and said to Xia De who was following her:

"About the acquaintance from Kesenlike, were you saying that on purpose just now?"

"Yes, it can be seen that you don't want to get involved in the trouble between the two countries. So, letting her know that Kesenlike people have also started to contact you will make them treat you with a more cautious attitude. The size of Paradise Island Pharmaceuticals is large enough. As long as you maintain a good balance and don't express your position casually, there will be no trouble for the time being."

Xia De said, and the witch looked at him curiously:

"I'm becoming more and more curious about what your main job is."

Xia De thought for a while:

"If there is a chance next week, I will tell you my real name and identity."

After all, Miss Miss Jia Lin Na is coming next week, so there is no need to hide it like this.

The witch was a bit surprised, but a smile immediately bloomed on her face:

"Okay, then I will look forward to it. Next week, when an important guest arrives, I also want to confess some of my things to you."

"Meow~"

While the two were talking, Mia's furry little head suddenly poked out from between the buttons on Xia De's chest. After seeing the stranger in front of her under the light of the gas lamp on the side wall of the cabin, she immediately made a threatening sound at her:

【Given the environment, this site may be closed at any time, please move to the permanently operating source-changing app as soon as possible,】

"Meow!"

"Dinner is coming soon, don't worry. And she is the one who gives us dinner, not an enemy."

Xia De touched the little head to soothe it, while Audrey looked at the cat carefully:

"Is this your cat? It looks really beautiful... not as big as I thought. Does this kind of cat eat a lot?"

"Yes, I have never seen Mia eat until she is full."

Actually, if you think about it carefully, it doesn't eat much, just the frequency is a bit high.

"Then, why would you name it Mia?"

The two turned and walked toward the depths of the cabin. Xia De said what he didn't know how many times he had said:

"Actually, this is not my cat, but a lady whose name I cannot say entrusted it to me. However, she gives me 10 pounds every month as the cost of raising the cat, and she will regularly send letters to ask about the cat's situation, and even asked me to take a photo with Mia and send it to her."

Xia De felt that the witch beside him was looking at him more and more strangely.

It was still raining outside, so even if they were eating on the yacht, they couldn't dine while enjoying the scenery on the deck. Audrey felt a bit regretful about this, but Xia De felt that the warm and comfortable restaurant on the yacht was also quite good.

It can be seen that the witch's maids put some thought into preparing this dinner. Golden candlesticks and candles mixed with spices were placed on the square table, and steaming food was prepared in gold and silver utensils. It was not as luxurious as a formal banquet, but Xia De and Mia both felt very satisfied. Xia De especially liked the pan-fried silver cod fillet with red pepper sauce.

And as a guest invited to dinner, Xia De also brought a bottle of "Blood Brew" red wine made from grapes as a gift according to social etiquette.

"Really good, this is the best red wine I have ever drunk. Which winery is this produced from?"

Sure enough, the witch also expressed appreciation for the liquid like liquid ruby. She looked at the wine glass against the candlelight:

"Look at this color, I guess, there must be a Ringed Ringed Shushi involved in the brewing process. This kind of brilliant skill, I'm afraid those guys who call themselves magic medicine masters can hardly reproduce it."

"This was made by my Zhou Shu... or rather, it is a divine art, related to a god related to 'wine'. However, that great one's temper is not very good. On such a dark and rainy night, I won't explain it in detail."

Xia De said very cautiously, and stopped Mia from curiously pulling at the clam shells on the table.

The witch didn't guess that he was talking about an evil god:

"It seems that before coming to the Green Lake region, you had many adventures. The old god related to wine... who would it be?"

While speaking, she naturally placed her right hand on the table, her forearm upright, supporting her slightly tilted head, and her brown eyes looked at the man and the cat under the candlelight.

The rain outside the ship was still so urgent, but she felt at ease at this moment. The voice of Megan in her heart mocked herself for being old and eager to find a support, but the witch herself mocked another soul, they were one.

That warm yellow light made people feel a bit sleepy. Looking at the interaction between the man and the cat across the square table, the witch actually felt a bit sleepy. The light became blurry, and when her eyes closed little by little, the light of the candle flame produced strange light and shadow.

And in the strange light and shadow of the light source, the figures of the man and the cat across the table became more and more blurry. Finally, the figures of Xia De and the orange cat completely melted into the glare, which made her see the moon and the sun forming a wonderful pattern in her illusion.

That pattern made the witch who pursued knowledge feel a long-lost obsession, as if it represented the ultimate answer of the world. But fortunately, years of mental distraction and soul damage made her skillfully realize that something was wrong with her. Trying hard to open her eyes to look at the "sun", it was clearly the young orange and white cat "staring" at her.

And with Mia's "Meow~" sound, the witch was startled, feeling as if she had been roared by something indescribable. She suddenly woke up from the drowsy state of being half-asleep and half-awake, and then realized that she almost fell asleep just now.

"Sorry."

She apologized for her gaffe, and at the same time felt hot and unbearable all over her body, as if a stream of fire was circulating back and forth in her body. Xia De held a dinner knife in one hand and pressed the cat with the other, looking at her curiously with Mia, whose head was lowered, not knowing what was wrong with her.

"I'll go to the washroom to touch up my makeup."

Saying that, she got up and left. Xia De looked at her back suspiciously:

"What's wrong with her?"

【Her mental state is better than when you first met her, but now it can only be considered to have recovered less than one-fifth.】

"She must be tired too, right? Today, her spellcasting frequency is not low."

Xia De thought in his heart, patted the cat that was pulling him with its claws again, and decided to end the final investigation as soon as possible after eating.

It was said to be touching up makeup, but Audrey came back very quickly, but her makeup didn't look like there was any change, not like touching up makeup. Of course, Xia De was not stupid enough to ask.

After the witch sat down again, she handed a small water-drop-shaped purple crystal bottle to her maid, and then placed it in front of Xia De.

The bottle itself was crystal, but it had a silver metal base and a metal cap for threading, which looked very valuable. Xia De had only seen similar objects in the makeup boxes of Princess Lei Lei Qianya and Miss Jia Lin Na. And the liquid in the bottle was not easy to distinguish because of the color of the bottle itself.

Audrey said:

"This is my blood, didn't you want it?"

Xia De looked at her in surprise:

"I wanted to verify whether there is a problem with your family's bloodline. However, you don't even know my real name, are you really so relieved to give me your blood voluntarily?"

Xia De asked, and the witch looked at him across the candlelight:

"Do you mean, you might be a liar who deceives women?"

"No, I definitely don't..."

"I rarely trust others, but once I trust others, I won't doubt them. Just two drops of blood, this is not a loss for me, and it is the best way to finally confirm whether you are really worthy of my complete trust."

Xia De understood her meaning, so he collected the blood, thinking of going to Midehillburg to verify it as soon as possible:

"I am very happy to be able to accept such a trust test. How about this, I also leave some precious things as collateral?"

【Given the environment, this site may be closed at any time, please move to the permanently operating source-changing app as soon as possible,】

Audrey asked, and Xia De thought for a while:

"It doesn't make sense, I just want to express my sincerity."

He didn't say to leave his own blood, but reached into his pocket and took out the refined gold ore he got during the group mission last Thursday night:

"This one, although it is not very valuable, it is not easy to find if you want to find it in a hurry."

The maid held the ore in front of the witch, and the latter looked at it in surprise:

"First it was mountain copper, then it was refined gold. Is your main business mineral business? You wouldn't happen to have secret silver, right?"

Xia De was choked and hurriedly explained:

"No, no, I don't do mineral business."

After thinking about it, he added:

"However, I do have shares in gold mines. As for secret silver... I did have some time ago, and the volume was not small, but part of it was given to a lady by me to repair her damaged jewelry, and part of it was used by me to strengthen my own pendant... Don't look at me like this, yes, that lady is indeed not one of the few I mentioned before, but I am talking about a nun, a nun who is pure-hearted and has a cold personality."

Xia De emphasized, and the witch looked at him with a smile:

"It seems you are really popular with girls. Okay, this piece of refined gold will be left with me for the time being. After you give me the blood analysis results, I will return it to you."

Xia De nodded, untied the napkin on his chest, and looked out the window through the porthole:

"It's still raining, that's good, it won't be easily discovered. It's getting late, let's set off?"

"Yes, it's getting late."

The witch felt a bit regretful in her heart, but she also knew that the next things could not be delayed:

"Let's go."

This ship had been sailing south during the meal, so when preparing to set off, the ship had clearly sailed to a position close to the entrance of Green Lake.

For such a dangerous activity in a while, Mia of course could not be brought along. It happened that Audrey decided that she and Xia De would go together, and others would not participate, so Xia De wanted to entrust Mia to the maids on the ship to take care of.

After all, Mia is willing to let Miss Difa take care of it, and presumably other maids wearing similar costumes are fine. But Xia De's idea was still too naive. When he tried to let the witch's maid Jill hold the cat, the cat struggled desperately.

Xia De didn't know why this beautiful maid in front of him couldn't, or why any maid on the whole ship couldn't. He could only attribute it to Mia's unfamiliarity with these maids, so he had to turn the cat into a toy and put it back in his pocket.

"Your Qishu can also deform living things?"

The witch was very surprised to see this scene.

"I can only deform creatures that have full trust in me. So far, besides this pet cat, I haven't found a second living thing that can be deformed. I don't know if this cat is easy to trust others or too vigilant."

Xia De patted his pocket, confirmed that he was ready, and made an invitation gesture to the witch at the cabin door.
