Chapter 1695

Fortunately, Xia De had plenty of experience kissing two girls at the same time, so even in the dream world, he made this embrace and kiss quite warm and romantic.

Although there was no risk of suffocating from lack of air in the dream, this kiss still had to come to an end. Megan finally let go of Xia De, smiling as she wiped her lips:

"Today might count as my lucky day."

"I think we should get to business first. Where is that door you mentioned? Also, why is your dream so gloomy? Are you under that much pressure usually?"

Xia De asked, not having forgotten the purpose of entering the dream. Megan looked around:

"Gloomy? Even when I'm not on this island, my dreams are mostly like this."

She flicked her fingers, and the wall decorations, floors, and furniture in the dining room changed rapidly; even the size of the room shifted, but the gloomy atmosphere remained unchanged:

"I am the master of the dream, but I cannot control everything here. I have been researching for years, and only after entering the dream on the island did I realize that our souls are connected to another island."

"You mean, the gloomy dream reflects the other island?"

"Yes. This is indeed a dream, but because it has made contact with the other side of space, the dream has changed. This should have been a preparation made by our ancestors so that we could return at the right time, but because of this, I dreamed of that door on the island and learned of the possible existence of another island."

Megan said, then added:

"Of course, knowing that the other island truly exists only happened after the great battle last Monday. Like two sides of a mirror, or like the side of real space, that island we have yet to set foot on is just as gloomy."

Xia De nodded:

"Your ancestors settling here was likely due to this special nature."

"Let's go, I'll take you to see the door in my dream. The door is in the basement, but it doesn't appear every time. According to the pattern I've discovered, the gloomier my dream is, the greater the probability of the door appearing. Even if I'm not on this island, as long as I actively wake up within the dream, it is possible for the door to appear, though the probability is a bit lower."

She didn't take Xia De to find the basement door, but instead knocked on the long dining table nearby. The table vanished, revealing a door in the floor.

"There is no door in the dining room of the real island, but I moved the basement door here in my dream. It's a pity that the basement has special significance, so this can only be done in this house."

Megan explained, and then the door slowly opened.

Below the door were stone steps, but the end of the steps was not the empty basement they had seen on the real island, but a long, narrow corridor. Torches were stuck into the walls, and mist permeated the corridor, making it impossible to see what lay at the end.

Megan breathed a sigh of relief:

"Good luck; the appearance of the corridor means the door can be seen. If it were a normal basement, the door wouldn't be visible. Come to think of it, I haven't told you about that door yet; it is blood-red and has thirteen keyholes on it."

Xia De already knew this from Sister Daifulin.

She signaled for Xia De to follow behind her and stepped onto the stairs with her, crossing the door in the floor. But Xia De only took one step before stopping:

"Wait. The part underground doesn't seem to be your dream anymore... No, it's still a dream, but it's mixed with other parts."

Megan nodded:

"Yes, the underground part is the junction, the intersection of the other island and my dream. It is half-real and half-false here, and my control over it will be weaker. Please rest assured, even so, I am still the master of this dream. I have actually always suspected that this door is the only passage connecting the two islands."

She wanted to continue walking down the stairs, but was grabbed from behind by Xia De.

Xia De looked solemnly into the thick fog at the far end of the corridor. The light of the torches turned the white mist yellow. Although the naked eye could not see anything unusual, within the perspective of 【Magic Sight】, a pitch-black light representing malice had already ignited:

"There is something." "What?"

Megan retreated to the step where Xia De was standing, and then the two heard a sound like sandpaper rubbing against stone coming from the fog:

"Edwards, you cannot bring members outside the family here; you have violated the rules." (Demon language) Not knowing if Megan didn't react in time or simply didn't understand this demonic language, she was stunned:

"What?"

Black light dyed the white mist black; the torches at the end of the fog extinguished one by one, and darkness surged toward the two at the basement entrance.

"Wake up!"

Xia De warned loudly, then felt a moment of dizziness, followed by sitting up from the bed. Before him was the bedroom they had chosen, with both the window and the door sealed by the Thorns of the Moon.

【Reality.】

Without Xia De needing to ask, "She" took the initiative to provide the answer. "Her" voice could not be forged, and the language "She" used had never been used by any other existence, so this was real.

"Let's go, quickly!"

Seeing that Megan had also opened her eyes by now, Xia De pulled her up. "Was that a demon just now?"

The sorceress asked in surprise.

"Yes, I am certain."

"Do you have a connection with this demon? Like last time?"

"Of course not. Do you think I'm really a Witcher, or do you think I'm a demon too?"

While speaking, Xia De took out the 【Witcher Seal】 and put it on his finger, then pressed the seal directly onto Megan's forehead. Seeing that nothing happened, he knew the demon had not followed them out of the dream:

"Safety first."

He explained. Megan nodded, and like Xia De, looked around; neither of them saw any trace of the demon that had appeared in the dream:

"We cannot stay on the island; let's go, quickly."

One walked toward the door and the other toward the window. None of the alert rituals had been triggered, proving that it was temporarily safe here. But they certainly couldn't stay. After discussing it, they came to the window together. Megan held Xia De's hand, and after Xia De prepared the spell materials, he took a step forward, and the two appeared together on the street below.

Just as their figures appeared, a feeling of the world spinning made them almost lose their footing. The surrounding fog suddenly became even thicker, filling every space like cotton.

"Space chaos? Why at a time like this? Damn it, the ancestor really can control..."

The brown-haired lady said through gritted teeth. Just as Xia De was about to test his 【Enhanced Spatial Perception】, both of them suddenly heard a roar coming from the fog:

"What is that?"

Large swaths of black things swayed as they walked over from both ends of the street. The cover of the thick fog compressed the range of both naked-eye and spiritual detection to the extreme. The two immediately stood back-to-back, each facing one direction:

"Are you okay?"

Xia De asked Megan, and the sorceress smiled:

"That's a question I should be asking you. Together, three, two, one! Meteor!"

A silver moonlight slash and a golden stream of light bombarded the two directions of the street respectively, silently engulfing the swaying things that were about to approach. Those things were clearly not strong, and they all fell after a single round of attacks.

"I think other things will appear soon."

Megan gripped Xia De's hand:

"Let's hold out for three rounds. If the enemies are still endless, we will take three steps and see where we get transferred to."

She offered the most prudent suggestion, but Xia De shook his head: "No need."

The miracle—【Enhanced Spatial Perception】 was activated, directly forming a confrontation with the thick fog. Originating from the divine arts of the Ancient God, and amplified by the Outlander's powerful soul and divinity, it began to take effect bit by bit.

Finally, the surrounding terrain appeared in Xia De's mind, and at the same time, the fog that had shown no change in Megan's eyes actually dissipated partially in Xia De's view.

Although it hadn't fully recovered to the state before the spatial chaos, Xia De felt that he could walk in this state.

【The speed cannot be too fast, otherwise it is still possible to get "lost".】 "She" reminded him gently.

"Understood. As expected, this miracle given by the Father of Trees is meant for situations like this." He suppressed the joy in his heart and said to Megan:

"You see, we encounter unexpected situations every time we land on the island, so I prepared in advance. I can move now. I'll carry you, or you can turn into a cat. I'll take you away; don't move on your own."

Megan looked at him in surprise:

"You really can surprise me every time... Turning into a cat or having you carry me is out of the question; I am not a burden to anyone."

She flicked her finger, and the golden thread connecting the two flashed through the fog:

"If you can see the surroundings clearly, then as long as you share your perception with me, I can walk along with you."

She deftly took a bottle of pink potion from her satchel, then bit her finger and dripped her blood into the potion:

"By using the potion to enhance my secret arts—I mean miracles—we can temporarily share perception."

As she spoke, she signaled for Xia De to also drip a drop of blood into the potion. Megan drank a large mouthful first, wiped the bottle mouth, and handed it to Xia De. Xia De was about to drink it, but after sniffing it, he asked curiously:

"Is this potion the 【Somatosensory Enhancement Potion】?" "You've read the 'Book of Pink' too?"

Megan blurted this out, then immediately covered her mouth: "Why ask so much? Drink it quickly."

The 【Somatosensory Enhancement Potion】 is a potion formula recorded in the "Book of Pink." Its preparation method is quite complex, and its main function is to enhance the senses, and even allow for the sharing of each other's feelings without side effects during physical contact. And in that special "Book of Pink" that "Desire" gave to Xia De, there was even a record of an even stranger and more special version of this potion.
