Chapter 2204

The sound of the tide was clattering, the sound of rain was pattering, and the bonfire was crackling. Her voice disappeared, and there was even a feeling of loss. The blonde Countess in Xia De's arms wanted to lift her head, but then she immediately heard a sound like a big fish turning over on the water surface, which scared her back into Xia De's arms and trembled.

But Xia De knew that the "mermaid" should have left, because the bonfire in the small camp was expanding back to its original size, and the thick fog that surrounded the reef under the sea cliff was also dissipating rapidly.

In fact, in just a few dozen seconds, the thick fog of unknown origin disappeared completely. The rain was still falling, and sitting on the reef and looking into the distance, it was the endless sea surface and the silhouettes of ships coming and going to Moon Bay Port.

The power of the unspeakable spiritual infection subsided, but the impact would last for a long time. But Xia De was not meeting 【Desire】 for the first time, so he was experienced and adjusted himself quickly, but the blonde lady he was holding who seemed to be boneless was still burying her head in his chest and refusing to lift it.

Although 【Desire】 had left, it was not suitable to stay here for a long time. Xia De tried to call "Miss Belinder" a few times, but only got her squirming and shaking her head in response. After the witch let out a sharp cry, he picked her up directly in a princess carry.

The two returned to the room at the bottom of the elevator like this. At this time, the maids who were in a coma here also woke up one after another. Among them, although Miss Matilda was not the highest-level one, because she had the most witch power as a witch apprentice, she was the fastest to wake up.

Seeing Xia De holding her master and walking over, and the posture of the two and Xia De's expression were obviously wrong, the maid moved her lips, but finally didn't say much, just asked softly:

"Miss, are you okay?"

"It's okay, don't worry about me, we are going back now."

Only then was she willing to open her mouth, but because she was still burying her head in Xia De's arms, her voice was very muffled.

Other maids also got up one after another, and after a simple check, they found that they were just in a coma for unknown reasons, and didn't even have a dream. And after Xia De asked them if they still remembered what happened here, Miss Matilda answered for them:

"We followed the Miss to visit Countess Dalmanin this morning, and then discovered the strangeness in the manor. The Miss originally wanted to take us away temporarily and wait until we determined what was going on here before making plans. It was very smooth when we left, and Countess Dalmanin even sent us to the gate of the manor, but when we came back to our senses, we had clearly stepped on this elevator."

Although Countess Dalmanin was strange, she did not have the ability to confuse witches and these maids. It was most likely that 【Desire】 personally took action to cast an illusion.

"After the elevator reached the bottom, we fell into a coma. When we woke up, you had already walked over holding the Miss... Is it okay?"

Matilda didn't ask "what happened" but asked like this. Xia De nodded:

"It's okay, don't think about the things here anymore. This was caused by bad luck, the crow... it's all my fault, I thought it would only focus on me. No one should come to this mansion again in the future, let's go back."

The area of the elevator was very large, and it didn't look crowded when a group of people stepped on it. They returned to the basement of the Dalmanin Count's mansion very smoothly. When walking out of the basement, they only saw the beautiful Countess waiting for them with the maids.

She held a handkerchief in her right hand and covered her mouth and smiled, saying to Xia De:

"Are you satisfied now? I said I could let you see your Countess, you said whether you saw it in the end."

"Do you really know what you are following?"

Xia De asked, but the Countess smiled and asked back:

"Mr. Watson, you ask me like this, but why don't you ask yourself what you are doing?"

After speaking, she didn't give Xia De a chance to answer, and took the initiative to lead the way:

"I'll send you to the door, you should go back too. Count Belinder looks like she can't hold it anymore, I am also a woman, I understand how she feels now."

She really held an umbrella herself and sent the group to the gate of the courtyard. The coachman and carriage that had disappeared were actually parked at the end of the slope at the gate of the mansion. And when Xia De boarded the carriage holding Miss Belinder, turned around and looked back at the mansion in the rain and the Countess waving goodbye at the gate of the courtyard, it felt like a beautiful dream.

There were no other incidents on the way back to Belinder Manor. The maids waiting for everyone to return in the manor saw that everyone was safe and sound, and they were relieved. It's just that seeing Miss Belinder being held by Xia De all the time and refusing to let go, they also felt strange in their hearts.

Emilia and the little unicorn of course also came to the front hall of the manor to welcome them. The little unicorn's perception was very keen. After seeing Xia De, it originally wanted to lean forward, but immediately showed a vigilant look.

It let out a few soft cries, blocked Emilia with its body so that she would not move forward. Then it ran to Xia De's side, poked Xia De with the horn on its head, then suddenly raised its front hooves and raised its head, and cried loudly:

"Ang~"

The sound was loud but not harsh, and with this sound, the horn on the raised head emitted a circle of golden ripples.

The gentle but powerful spirit spread with the ripples, sweeping across the bodies of the group who returned to the hall. Xia De only felt that his whole body was warm, the moisture brought by the rainy day was swept away, and even his mood suddenly became very good.

【The unicorn is dispelling negative power.】

"She" explained softly in Xia De's ear. As for the other maids, they also felt the indescribable depressed mood that had been entangled with them swept away. And from the witch in Xia De's arms, a wisp of pink smoke drifted out. Even the unicorn's power could not annihilate this wisp of pink smoke. Fortunately, Xia De took out the perfume bottle in time.

The bottle itself was full, and after the wisp of smoke took the initiative to enter the bottle, the essence began to emit an even more charming pink light.

"Oh~"

The Countess struggled slightly, and then left Xia De's embrace. She lowered her head so that Xia De could not see her face. Miss Matilda took the initiative to help her, and then Miss Belinder didn't even say hello to Xia De, and was helped by Miss Matilda towards the third floor. Xia De knew she was going to the washroom to wash up.

Xia De certainly wouldn't follow up without being sensible, but smiled and touched the little white beast's head:

"You saw that there was evil power on us, right? Thank you very much, you are really amazing."

So the little unicorn let out a soft cry again, then circled around Xia De, running around happily. Emilia also walked over at this time, looking at Xia De worriedly, and Xia De shook his head slightly:

"It's okay, I said I could solve the things here."

The elf girl nodded gently, but the depression in her heart was even more obvious.

It was already lunch time on Friday, but the returning group had to wash up and tidy up, so the manor's lunch time was delayed by half an hour compared to usual. During this period, Xia De also went to wash up and change his clothes.

The ancient Belinder Manor of course had a warm water bath, but that was for the girls. The maids prepared a wooden bathtub for Xia De, letting him bathe in the guest room.

Xia De rarely used a bathtub, but after soaking his whole body in it and sighing softly, he really felt the relaxation of his whole body.

The area of this bathtub was very large, and Xia De could lie down with his feet up without any problem. He closed his eyes and wanted to relax his spirit, but was worried that he would fall asleep, so he thought about the things this morning, thinking about how to explain to the witch, how to carry out the weekend action, and how to deal with the address given by 【Desire】.

While thinking, he suddenly heard the door being opened, and then footsteps walked into the room and closed the door.

Xia De thought it was one of the maids who came to deliver the change of clothes, but when he opened his eyes and looked, what he saw was the blonde Countess wrapped in a white bathrobe.

He was surprised and wanted to stand up. Fortunately, he still remembered that he was in a bath state, so he opened his arms and grabbed the edge of the bathtub with both hands to stop himself from getting up.

Bella Belinder's face, set off by the lipid-red birthmark on her brow and the skin as white as milk after washing, was more charming than usual. She walked quickly to the side of the bathtub as if she wanted to give Xia De a punch. Xia De subconsciously shrank his head towards below the water surface, but she also stood there and stretched her head towards Xia De.

The two chased and fled, so when Xia De's head completely shrank under the water surface, the witch's head had also been half soaked in the water, and her golden long hair that was not tied up floated on the water surface, so she kissed him.

This kiss happened in the water. Xia De widened his eyes, but saw her golden eyes also looking at him. The enthusiastic kiss in the water was a bit clumsy, so in the sound of clattering, her arms also stretched into the water and hugged Xia De's neck, fixing him in a very difficult action so that he would not run around.

"Ha~"

After her golden long hair left the water surface, Xia De, who had just been pressed under the water, gasped for air and popped his head out of the bathtub.

He wiped the water on his face messily, and really felt like he was going to be oxygen-deprived. And beside the bathtub, Miss Belinder's hair was completely soaked, water droplets flowed down her cheeks, and she also looked at Xia De while breathing hard:

"I want to kiss again."

"What? No, no need to repeat it, I heard it. Is the influence of the morning not eliminated yet?"

Saying this, Xia De reached out to touch her forehead, but was pushed away by her hand.
