Chapter 1701

~10 min read 1,875 words

In the night sky, the black shadow that swallowed the three moons was still moving slowly, and the remaining volume of the three moons was getting less and less. Darkness was shrouding the Green Lake area, everything was silent, and it seemed that everything tonight had ended.

In this darkness, Megan and Xia De sensed the flight traces of the thirteen-ring sorcerers of the church who had already appeared by the lake. So Megan let go of Xia De, pressed her forehead against Xia De's forehead, feeling Xia De's abnormal body trembling:

"After going back, I..."

Before she could finish speaking, she was suddenly pushed away by Xia De. The next moment, a beam of light appeared from the center of the lake, passed through Xia De's chest, and shot toward the distance of the lake shore.

Megan didn't even react to what happened at the first time. She stared at Xia De's pale complexion, looked at the lake water that had turned pale green at some point under their feet, looked at the clouds and fog behind them dispersing, revealing the strange island top surrounded by rugged reefs, and the ancestor who was looking at this scene with his hands behind his back.

She thought everything tonight was a dream: "This is too crazy... no, no!"

Xia De looked down at his chest, and then his body fell toward the water surface. Megan reached out wanting to grab his hand, but missed it by 1 centimeter, seeing his "corpse" sink under the water.

She looked at her hand reaching forward in shock, and then heard a voice: "Miss Edwards, the guy who spoiled the situation has disappeared for the time being, please look here."

The Maze Demon, the guy who appeared in the image of a bald head, was tossing a black cube and appeared at the edge of the thinning fog area at some point. Those fogs gradually drifted from behind it toward the further part of the lake, and the fog that had shrouded the central island of Green Lake for more than a hundred years began to spread:

"On the night of the lunar eclipse, the unstable space of the material world has a tendency to become more unstable. The chaotic space of the central island of Green Lake will cover a larger range. Only the descendants of the Edwards family, relying on their own talent, can stop tonight's mutation."

It looked up at the sky, where only the last third of the moon remained:

"Please save everything, Miss Edwards, that man is not important. Please don't waste time; what you need to do now is to save this world."

Underwater, in the darkness.

Xia De was falling in the water; although this scene was similar to the last time, it was actually completely different.

The blessing given by the 【God of Deep Sea Drowning】 to recover from injuries in the water was playing a role, but in fact, this injury was not serious at all, and even the "false immortality" was not triggered. After all, the heart in the left chest was not Xia De's fatal part at all.

He was just affected by that huge and twisted power and temporarily lost control of his own spirit, which was why he fell into the water.

And as strings of bubbles floated out from his mouth and floated straight up in the water, Xia De also gradually regained control of his body. Spirits and elements flowed again in his body and soul, and the illusion that his soul was about to detach from his body became more and more obvious:

"Actually ambushed me!"

Even in the water, he could clearly perceive the state of the three moons in the starry sky; he could even accurately know through the countdown that there were only three minutes left before the lunar eclipse completely swallowed the moons.

"What does that mean to me?"

Bubbles gurgled upward, Xia De opened his arms and paddled in the water, wanting to adjust from the head-down falling posture to a posture convenient for swimming upward. But at this moment, first a soft and charming laughter appeared, and then as the shadow got closer and closer, he heard that hoarse and gentle voice in the water:

"Yes, what does it mean?"

Something huge and terrifying swam past the bottom of the water further below Xia De. Even without seeing it with his own eyes, Xia De already felt suffocated. The panic made him understand that he absolutely could not continue to fall downward, but he had no chance to adjust his posture.

Because, the laughter got closer and closer from behind, and while his whole body was stiffly maintaining the head-down posture and continuing to fall downward, warm and smooth, white arms that seemed to be glowing in the dark world at the bottom of the water wrapped around him from behind Xia De. Then, he felt something warm and soft, sticking to his back entirely.

He felt the warm water flow brushing past his ears, and then that beautiful woman's head appeared on his left shoulder. His legs were slapped by something like a tail, and the thing swimming behind him hugged him to slow down his descent, as if what was falling to the bottom of the lake with him was a real mermaid.

If he were really hugged and slowed down by a mermaid while falling in the water, Xia De would probably be very happy, but at this moment he just wanted to escape quickly.

"The performance just now was quite good."

The woman's head was placed on Xia De's shoulder, and the hoarse voice whispered in Xia De's ear, warm water flowing over his ears:

"Let that twin soul give a kiss from the heart, willing to sacrifice everything. Yes, this is what I wanted to see."

Even if the lake water was cold, it didn't prevent Xia De's body from heating up rapidly. He was thinking about what miracle could suppress the bad body performance at this moment; "Desire" was behind him, and he never thought he would encounter this Level 0 relic in the water, even when they first met, the situation was not that bad.

"I... can you let me go? Now I want to return to the water surface, it is still needed there."

He knew very well that the one who ambushed him just now was likely the thirteen-ring diviner ancestor of Megan and Audrey. Since the latter showed up, it was impossible to just "ambush" this once. He had already clearly felt that the unstable area of the space covered by the thick fog was expanding, and he must deal with this matter now; the abnormal range of the central island of Green Lake absolutely could not expand.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Don't you want to seek answers from me?"

In the darkness, it seemed that only the smooth arms hugging Xia De were glowing, Desire said softly, and all the hair on Xia De's body stood up in the water, and the trembling of his body became more intense. The woman's head on his shoulder was only less than 1 centimeter away from his ear, and he even felt that the hair on his ear had touched the other party's bright red lips in the water.

"Emotion, the fusion of souls; sex, the collision of flesh; love, the connection of spirits; love, the promise of two people becoming one."

She whispered the sentences left by Chloe, and Xia De felt the "woman's" tail behind him slapping the water flow faster, and their falling speed was indeed slowing down:

"This is very simple; flesh and soul, because of emotion, fuse with each other. Just like the pair of red butterflies in the birdcage in your hand, two-in-one, multi-in-one, this is the meaning of this sentence. And to achieve this..."

Her voice became more hoarse and more charming:

"That requires power beyond the mundane. The fusion of soul and soul first requires one party's soul to be strong enough, and your strong soul is enough to bear the burden. Therefore, you only need the secret method of closely linked emotions. And the fusion of flesh and flesh requires the story symbolized by enlightenment."

"Clock Tower Lover..."

At the end of that story, the dead knight and his lover's bones fused together. "Yes, you understand, you have always understood."

Her arms exerted a little force, as if wanting to knead her body into Xia De's body. The scattered black long hair constantly touched Xia De's face in the water, which made Xia De feel more and more that he was about to be intoxicated.

"Promise me, promise me a simple request, which is also a small test for you; not only can I tell you the secret method of soul fusion, but I can also tell you how to deal with the things on the lake surface now."

Even if he didn't dare to turn his head, Xia De could imagine the blurred purple eyes of the woman's head next to his head slightly narrowed:

"What test?"

Even though "Desire" had helped him many times, he couldn't imagine why the other party was "kind" this time.

"Stories carry emotions; you have already proven your compassion, courage, sacrifice, wisdom, and honesty. This time, use your 'loyalty' to prove your love story."

Xia De fell silent, letting the "mermaid" behind him hug him, falling toward the deeper part of the lake:

"My loyalty... am I really... loyal?"

For Delarian, he had never been loyal, no matter how much Director Anluosi appreciated and reused him. And for love, Xia De could hardly say he was loyal; he never deceived himself.

"So this is the test. Interesting soul, if you really value those girls, really believe in your love more than the desire I represent, then prove it to me."

She smiled gently, and in Xia De's ear, she took the initiative to say the secret method of soul fusion and the method to solve the problem on the water surface, and then whispered to add:

"Of course, even if you don't prove your loyalty to love, I won't do anything. But in this way, you will lose to me, won't you?"

"Desire" asked. She saw Xia De's complex mood and didn't say anything more, but behind Xia De, she gently separated her body from him, and then pushed him toward the water surface with both hands:

"See you next time, interesting soul."

The fair hands exerted force, and Xia De felt that he was rising uncontrollably, moving away from the "woman" who sank into the deeper part.

【Are you very confused? Don't believe whether your love for them is love, or just desire?】 "She" asked gently.

"No, I will prove it to her, I will not lose to desire. I am never afraid of desire, never afraid to face..."

The outsider thought very affirmatively in his heart; he was never confused, and would never fear his own thoughts. Thus, dominated by unspeakable emotions, he gathered his courage to adjust his posture during the process of rising in the water, and looked toward the direction he came from under the water.
