Chapter 1690: Red and Red

~10 min read 1,970 words

Specially performing this kind of professional modification on the boat was naturally not to show off wealth in front of Xia De, but to let them avoid the Church's surface patrol teams and land on the island smoothly.

"Invisibility, noise elimination, eliminating water ripples, these are all the most basic functions. If we encounter a large group of water ghosts again, this time we don't need your badge to rush out of the encirclement smoothly. I even engraved a detonation ritual on the boat; once this boat explodes, the power is much greater than a steam bomb of the same volume."

Megan said quite confidently.

The oars slid automatically. When the boat passed through the lake surface of the big lake in the rain, Megan also proudly introduced the functions of this boat to Xia De. At this time, they were already very close to the fog area, and when they were closest to the Church's ship just now, the distance between the two sides was even less than 300 meters, but the Church just didn't discover this boat.

"That's why I have always believed that wisdom and knowledge are the most powerful forces of mortals."

The Great Witch of Knowledge and Wisdom didn't know why she was in a particularly good mood today:

"We have a lot of things to do in a while, first build the key, and then I will try to take you into a dream to witness that door."

"But before that, I still have one thing."

The bow of the boat entered the fog first, and then the boat carrying Xia De and Megan also entered the fog. Xia De took a deep breath and inhaled the fog into his lungs:

"Can you wait for me at the shore for a moment? I want to use an item by the lake."

He was holding the metal holy emblem that hadn't been opened yet.

"Of course you can."

Megan said with a smile, and the thick fog hindered her vision, so she moved closer to Xia De. Xia De looked up at the shadow of the island in the fog like a beast crouching, and Megan took out a silk thread and tied the little fingers of their right hands together:

"Just like last time, keep in touch."

She hooked her finger, and the white silk turned into gold. This peculiar witch secret technique enhanced the communication ability of the two, and even if the two were separated in the fog, they could roughly know each other's position.

The boat continued to move forward, and Xia De also closed his eyes:

"Strong Space Perception."

The water area originally covered by the fog, as well as the underwater terrain, appeared clearly in his mind. Only then did Xia De feel completely relieved, and at the same time revealed a sincere smile. When landing on the island for the first time, Megan had said that miracles of the "Space Perception" type were ineffective on this island, but it was clear that the miracle given by the Tree Father was an exception.

"You look really good when you smile."

The witch on the side said suddenly, and when Xia De looked at her, she turned her face away to avoid eye contact with Xia De:

"Usually when I see you, you are always expressionless or serious. You can try to smile more; don't always be under so much pressure... Probably this Friday, a banquet will be held locally to welcome Grand Duchess Miss Jia Lin Na Cavendish; come with me."

She summoned the courage to issue an invitation, her teeth biting the inside of her lip to make herself feel pain to stay calm. Because she was worried that Xia De had things to do and couldn't come, she added:

"By then, I will tell you everything you want to know, yes, everything you want to know. So..."

"No problem, I will go. By then, you will also know who I am."

Xia De nodded, looking at the traces of the pier that had already appeared in the distance in the fog:

"I recently learned a new miracle; in a while, if we encounter space confusion where we lose our sense of direction, it might come in handy. But it's best not to use it... it's best not to."

The bow of the boat touched the pier gently and stopped quite steadily. Xia De jumped onto the pier first, then turned around and pulled Megan's hand to let her walk down too.

After fixing the small boat, the two didn't walk along the small path toward the town immediately, but led by Xia De, walked toward the beach that was purified by his "Earth Power · Healing Aura" when landing on the island for the second time.

The fog in this area was not very thick, and as long as they didn't stay for a long time, space confusion wouldn't happen within a few months.

Megan certainly still recognized this place, and immediately remembered the appearance of Xia De holding her in cat form and talking on the beach, and then remembered Xia De standing by the lake looking at the big lake in the night, while she was putting on clothes behind Xia De.

"I'll handle my business here first."

Xia De said, opened the metal pendant with a click, and revealed the red God of Love holy emblem inside. This item had miraculous elements and was one of the few divine artifacts that could still be used inherited by the God of Love Church from the Fifth Era to the present. Mr. Richard and Ms. Hope lent it to Xia De temporarily; besides being used to save that black thin sheet, they probably also wanted to protect Xia De.

"Megan, step back a bit, back to where you can only see my figure."

Xia De said to the female Shushi, and then handed her the earplugs he had prepared in advance:

"Plug your ears, and then turn your back to me. Before I pat your shoulder, absolutely do not turn around to look at me, and remember, you must not hear any sound. If you hear it, it must be an illusion; absolutely do not pay attention to it."

"What do you want to do?"

Megan asked curiously.

"Obtain some information, but this is very dangerous and may attract some bad things."

However, Xia De wasn't worried at all:

"But if it really attracts something, it might be a good thing instead."

"What?"

"Nothing. I'll be able to handle this matter soon, you must remember..."

"Cannot turn around, and I cannot hear any sound."

Xia De nodded and hugged Megan with open arms with a smile. The girl with a slightly red face then walked backward, and at the same time, Xia De also walked backward toward the shore.

Until Xia De's boots touched the lake water, and Megan could only see the blurry shadow of Xia De on the shore, they waved to each other, and Megan turned around.

"Help me watch her; if she has any abnormalities, remind me in time."

Xia De also turned to face the big lake.

【Okay.】

The holy emblem popped open, and Xia De picked up the black thin sheet and threw it toward the water surface.

His dynamic vision was good enough that he could even clearly see the thin sheet rotating in the fog and drawing a parabola.

And because of this, he clearly saw that before the thin sheet the size of a fingernail fell into the water surface, it was grasped by a fair palm that stretched out from under the water surface like white lightning. He could even more clearly see that the nails of the five fingers of the arm like a white snake were dyed red like blood.

Splash~

As ripples spread continuously, under the water surface near the shore, first black hair floated up like water grass, and then the woman's head emerged. Even though the fog was hazy, Xia De could still see clearly that the black long hair was stuck to her skin because it was wet, and saw water droplets sliding down her cheeks and then falling into the water surface.

Her skin was as fair as milk, and her purple eyes were so intoxicating. The rain had stopped, and the thin sunlight passed through the fog, letting the hazy and soft light fall on her moist face and fair arms. Just the posture of pursing her lips and smiling at Xia De scared Xia De into taking a small step back.

But he still remembered Megan behind him, so he stopped his footsteps immediately. The nervous mood after landing on the island was now completely replaced by all kinds of ambiguous imaginations. Even though he had seen her many times, at this moment, Xia De still tried hard to restrain the impulse to rush into the water and have a passionate entanglement with her in the water.

"Do you think my nails are red? Really, men can never distinguish colors."

A lazy voice with a bit of hoarseness came, and the lower half of the arm retracted into the water, and the palm part was moved in front of the woman's red lips. The little finger, ring finger, and middle finger were curled and stuck to the palm, the thumb was naturally extended, and the index finger was stuck to the lips, making the red nails almost blend with the color of the red lips, both of which were so charming:

"Give you a chance."

The hoarse voice made people feel pity, and while the beautiful head lowered slightly, the black huge shadow head flashed past the bottom of the lake. Her eyes carried an ambiguous smile, and the charming charm firmly attracted Xia De's gaze:

"Tell me, what color are my nails and my lips? If you can't answer, I'll really be angry—you want to find out my secrets again?"

The nails and lips were both red, and Xia De could at most identify that it was light red.

The appearance of 【Desire】 was surprising, but within a reasonable range. Xia De knew that the other party didn't like him exploring her origins, so he was also prepared for the other party to really appear.

"Illusion? Let me see through her top-tier illusion and identify the true color?"

Xia De understood in his heart, and just as he was about to concentrate to detect traces of the illusion, the voice of "her" in his ear appeared. It was still so gentle, but this time it carried a bit of helplessness:

【The nails are pomegranate red, and the lipstick is rose madder red.】

"What? Oh, you mean the color? How did you..."

【When attending a banquet, if your attention could move away from Rod cards and listen more to what strange girls are talking about, you would also know.】

This was the use of the other me of a "Ringed Shushi." Even if a person's memory is good, there will always be omissions.

"The nails are pomegranate red, and the lipstick is rose madder red."

So Xia De said the answer to the woman's head in the fog, and the smile on the latter's face became even heavier. She put her finger shallowly between her lips, took it out again, put it in shallowly again, and then took it out again:

"Not bad, I thought you would think I wanted you to crack the illusion."

Xia De's mouth twitched a few times.

That beautiful head was still looking at Xia De with a smile. She "swam" a distance toward the shore, but still let herself be shrouded in the fog... The arm exposed above the water surface followed the head after a second. ===== CHAPTER 1691 =====
