Chapter 1641

"Meow~"

The cruise ship cut through the calm lake surface and headed toward the urban area upstream of the Duin River. On the top observation deck, the rain clouds had dispersed at this moment. Standing here blowing the night wind, although it was slightly cold, one could also see the scenery of the east and west banks of Green Lake City gradually receding behind them.

The night was already quite deep, but the city of the steam age still had scattered gas lamps to embellish the scenery of civilization.

Similarly, the entire observation deck of the yacht was lit up by gas lamps. Xia De, holding Mia, and the witch Audrey Edwards stood in front of the railing. The cat narrowed its eyes and leaned against Xia De's chest. It felt that Xia De's chest was a bit cold, so it wanted to help Xia De warm up, just like when Xia De was reading in front of the living room fireplace in winter, lying on Xia De's lap.

And as the battle ended, the "divine overflow" state disappeared, and Xia De also felt that strange "indifferent" mood dissipate. He couldn't be sure whether his spirit had really completely recovered to normal because of the divinity, or it could also be the excitement after so easily obtaining new divinity that diluted the indifference that the world had nothing to do with him.

"You..."

Audrey brushed her hair and secretly looked at Xia De from the side. She had many questions she wanted to ask, but didn't know what she should ask. Since returning to the ship, except for changing into dry clothes and Xia De requesting to pack a dinner, the two had been standing here looking at the scenery.

"Can you give me a hug?"

Xia De suddenly asked. If it were any other time, the brown-haired lady might still be a bit shy, but at this moment, because of being upset, she didn't have that shyness instead. She hugged Xia De generously, and then felt that Xia De's body was a bit cold.

Only then did she remember that he had experienced a great battle after all, and protected all of them.

The hug ended, and Xia De, who felt that his heart was not empty, had already obtained a satisfactory answer. So, the life ring behind his back revealed a corner to prove his level, and then disappeared:

"I am at the sixth ring, there is no need to doubt this. Just now it was just my means of saving my life, and I borrowed the power of Rotten Eye Barry's pale heart. To deal with the 'Hidden Mirror Man,' one must have such power."

The witch pursed her lips. The familiar gentleness and friendliness of the man in front of her made her feel a bit at ease. After Xia De joined her on the ice surface just now, the indifference in his eyes had really worried her for a long time. She didn't know if it was the relic's influence or the evil god's influence, but she couldn't do anything about it:

"Do you know the concept of a demigod?"

In the eyes of the great witch of knowledge and wisdom, the strike that split space just now had already reached a realm beyond the thirteen rings.

Xia De nodded slightly, his eyes looking in the direction the ship was sailing. The ship was sailing toward the pier that could be moored upstream of the Duin River. Tonight's adventure had already ended.

"I know, but I am not a demigod. This was relying on the power of the relic. Our era temporarily has no demigods."

So far, the thirteen-ring closest to a demigod that Xia De had seen was the Chosen One of the Earth, the "Guardian." But that was also relying on the power of many souls, relying on "quantity" to pile up.

The witch nodded again, gently biting her lip:

"Your current situation is very wrong. The power that relic gave you is very powerful, but what is the price?"

"I need to sleep again, and then go ask someone a question, that's all."

Xia De was not worried about this, but Audrey didn't know if he was really okay.

So, the bold witch reached out and pressed on his left chest, an action that made Little Mia extremely angry. If Xia De hadn't stopped it, the cat's claws would have come into contact with the witch's hand.

"I heard your heartbeat."

She said without any avoidance, her golden eyes, having taken off the disguise, looked directly at Xia De who turned his head:

"I don't like your indifference, nor do I like the way you talked to me just now, but it's much better now. Are you sure you're really okay?"

Xia De smiled, temporarily transferred the cat to his shoulder, and then unexpectedly opened his arms again to hug the worried witch.

Her whole body trembled, but she didn't push Xia De away. So neither of them spoke, just hugging like this and standing on the observation deck, letting the night wind blow, letting the scenery on both sides of the city pass by.

Mia on Xia De's shoulder originally tried to use its small claws to push the brown-haired witch, wanting to grab back its position. But the cat tried a few times and gave up, only able to squat on Xia De's shoulder boredly looking at the scenery outside the ship, thinking about when it could return to the warm and comfortable home.

After a long time, Xia De took the initiative to let go of the witch, who was muttering something unclear like "the thing on your chest is so hot," while Xia De said with a smile:

"You see, my heart is much warmer than that cold heart."

"I don't know how many girls you've said this sentence to."

The witch said softly, and then suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed Xia De on the side of his face. Her face turned bright red instantly, but she still pretended to be calm:

"This is for your comfort and thanks. You were busy all day today, go back and have a good rest. You don't need to come to me on Tuesday tomorrow. We will decide whether to land on the island for the third time on Wednesday. This time such a big mess was caused, the church should land on the island again to check. The second island, hidden on the back of the real island, that ancestor of mine..."

Xia De touched the cat on his shoulder and nodded with a smile:

"You have a good rest too, we'll see you on Wednesday."

They looked at each other, Xia De giving the other party the opportunity to ask that question. So—

"Your cat is really cute. When you walk the cat, do you use a leash? (Note)"

The question was asked, Xia De raised his eyebrows and then shook his head slightly:

"Of course not, I never give Little Mia a leash, it was born free."

A relieved smile appeared on the witch's face, she had already obtained the answer. Although a bit surprised, although she didn't know the specific situation, the man in front of her was even better than she thought. Her eye for people was indeed the best in the Witch Council:

"Will you always protect me? Until the Green Lake area incident ends."

"Of course I will, as much as I can, this is what we agreed on."

"Then goodbye, see you the day after tomorrow."

She said softly, her golden eyes looking at Xia De with indescribable affection, and Xia De also said to Audrey Edwards with a smile:

"Goodbye, Megan."

【Are you doing this on purpose?】

The witch's expression stiffened, wanting to express emotion but unable to give a reason, so she could only force a smile:

"Goodbye, goodbye."

She waved to the maid, and the maid handed the food box containing the hot meal to Xia De. After Xia De thanked her softly, he jumped to the lower deck with the cat, jumped off the ship in a few leaps, and disappeared into the night on the west bank of the Duin River.

"Oh, my god~"

Only then did she turn around and lean on the railing, holding her hot face with both hands.

And Megan in her ear mocked:

"Why, he specifically said goodbye to me, are you unhappy?"

Audrey Edwards shook her head:

"How could there be any unhappiness. We are one. Our souls have long been blended, you are me, I am you, my dear sister, I will not forget this point... I'm just thinking, who exactly is he. God-Caller, why only six rings?"

"Didn't he say he would tell us his identity next week? At that time, we will know everything. Have some patience."

Megan asked softly, Audrey nodded, put down her hands, and walked toward the cabin with her head maid:

"Wait until next week, I also promised to tell him about the witches... How about at that banquet welcoming the Duchess, with so many people, even if she is shocked, she won't cause trouble... I really hope Galina Cavendish and other witches can also accept such an existence."

(Little Mia is running...)

Although using the Mystery 【Cinderella】 to go home requires losing a crystal shoe, in fact, every time the miracle is successfully used to return home, the crystal shoe is always in Xia De's hand, so there is no need to worry about breaking Rixia's exquisite shoes.

But this also led to another problem. When Xia De saw clearly that he appeared at the door of Room 1 on the third floor, he looked up and saw Luvia looking at him in surprise.

Compared to when Xia De left a few hours ago, Luvia hadn't changed much. While Xia De was experiencing dangerous and exciting adventures, facing cultists and even evil gods, the purple-eyed girl had been busy at home. She looked at Xia De suspiciously, and then at the shoes he was holding in his hand. Even knowing this was the effect of the miracle, she still couldn't help but show a strange expression:

"It's good that you return home every time. If it were on the street, for the sake of your reputation, you'd better try not to use this miracle."

Xia De turned the cat back and let it walk around the house by itself:

"As long as you don't misunderstand me, it's fine. I brought you food, eat it while it's hot, you can't eat so late in the future. Oh, Mia, it's not for you, don't be anxious."

Saying this, he took out the food box, and Luvia also put down the pencil and square used for drawing and left the table. When walking toward Xia De, she looked at him hesitantly:

"You seem a bit wrong."

"What's wrong?"

【There is, if you were completely normal, you wouldn't easily use that card that would accelerate the disaster process.】

"There is, I always feel that you seem to be... um... wrong."

She didn't understand why she felt this way either, so she simply walked to Xia De and stood on tiptoe to kiss him.

Moonlight spilled into the room from the window where the stargazing equipment was set up, but could only illuminate Luvia, who was facing away from the window, and could not illuminate Xia De at the door.

This kiss lasted for a long time, and the female diviner who let go of Xia De looked at herself in Xia De's eyes and also reached a conclusion:

"There is no big problem, but clearly your emotions have been affected by some powerful force, and you are currently in the recovery period. It seems that the adventure at night was not very smooth."

"Um... I'm more curious, how did you know these things through a kiss."

"Xia De, witches naturally have their own little 'tricks', and girls also have their own secrets."

Luvia winked at Xia De, and like the witch a few minutes ago, put her hand on Xia De's left chest to listen to his heartbeat:

"Your heartbeat is accelerating again. Let's go, let's go back to the second floor and tell me what you encountered tonight."

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

In the purple eyes, the smile was very gentle, and that smile was enough to melt all the hard ice in his heart.
