Chapter 2685: No Choice

Seeing Flora looking at the other witches, Xia De also understood that she meant "there are many people in reality."

Grandma Cassandra looked at Xia De, her eyes showing no sign of blame. She placed Miss Winslett's hand into Xia De's, and the witch did not object, but wanted to know if Xia De would say something like "it's more fun when everyone is together."

Xia De looked into her eyes:

"For you witches, if I only know one of you, then sooner or later I will be hunted down by the entire Witch Council."

Simple words stated the simplest fact, and Flora Winslett indeed could not refute this point:

"So, is this my fault?"

After saying this, she regretted it a little, because it sounded like she was throwing a tantrum, and what Xia De said was indeed very correct. His existence, which was immune to the witch's curse, if he couldn't handle the relationship with most of the Great Witches well, then what awaited them would definitely not be just hiding in a remote corner of the world.

Fortunately, Xia De didn't care. He smiled and said:

"It's my fault. I'm a bit too greedy. According to Miss Jia Lin Na, I want to control the entire Witch Council."

Even Grandma Cassandra smiled kindly, and Miss Swift, who was standing behind the Old Witch, even defended Xia De:

"Xia De didn't think so at all."

But at least Miss Owl had figured it out. Although the intensity of the competition exceeded her imagination, at least she was not the first or second, and she didn't have to bear the psychological burden of "betraying the Council" or "being unfaithful." Even because the predecessors had paved the way, she could just walk with them with peace of mind, and life almost didn't change.

Having figured this out, she suddenly felt that waking up was actually quite good. Although life in the dream was happy and warm, it was a bit too boring. So she gently scratched Xia De's palm, then looked left and right, and asked curiously:

"Vanessa is here, didn't Miss Jia Lin Na come?"

"I didn't let her come, to prevent no one from finding reinforcements in case we were all wiped out. Just now I have asked Helen and Grace to send the note back to Tobesk... It was really hard for them tonight, opening cross-regional portals is not a simple matter."

Since the topic was brought up, Xia De turned to the girls who hadn't come over:

"Dorothy, Luweiya, come over quickly, I'll introduce you to each other."

Actually, the two girls who had been secretly listening to the conversation here turned their heads. Miss Bellindell smiled and gave Luweiya a look. The purple-eyed girl arched an eyebrow and walked over generously.

Dorothy also temporarily said goodbye to Miss Sylvia and walked toward the campfire in the center of the camp. So Miss Winslett wanted to stand up, but was pressed down by Xia De:

"No need to get up, you rest a little longer."

The maids had already prepared cushions, so Dorothy and Luweiya sat down by the fire. The firelight illuminated their beautiful faces. Flora now knew that these two were the girls who could "snatch people" from Miss Jia Lin Na's hands, so she attached great importance to them:

"Hello."

She reached out and shook hands with both of them, and Xia De introduced the identities of Luweiya and Dorothy respectively.

Dorothy had now become famous for "Hamilton's Detective Stories," and Flora of course knew her, and even said she liked her stories very much.

As for Luweiya, Xia De thought about it and introduced her like this:

"Luweiya Anate, this is my fiance..."

"I am the first girl to establish a relationship with Xia De. Although I knew Xia De later than Yin Yi Yi Lu Na, Dorothy, and Miss Jia Lin Na, fortunately, I started early."

This was not the first time Luweiya had interrupted Xia De's introduction. Her purple eyes looked at the Death Great Witch with a smile:

"Xia De has told me a lot about you. Dac Nisi to meet you, Miss Flora Winslett."

"I am also very happy..."

The witch was somewhat suspicious. On the one hand, it was because from a few short sentences and the attitudes of others around, she could see that this diviner she had never heard of seemed to be the most important person by Xia De's side;

On the other hand, looking at that pair of purple eyes, for some reason, she always had an indescribable dangerous feeling, which was even greater than the threat brought to her by Love Lake.

This strange feeling made her speak intermittently and look very strange. Grandma Cassandra on the side thought she was worried, so she spoke again:

"Miss Anate is a very capable person. Her divination means are no worse than Bella's. You were able to be saved this time thanks to her."

So the gray-black-haired witch thanked her again, then looked at Xia De's face, and then at Luweiya's face, and came to an inexplicable conclusion in her heart:

"They look like people who have the determination and means to change the world. From their appearance and temperament, they are quite a match... Oh, what am I thinking?"

She didn't even notice that she didn't have any doubts or dissatisfaction because so many Great Witches couldn't "compare" to the ordinary girl in front of her, but subconsciously felt in her heart that Luweiya Anate was indeed different and could be compared with them.

The camp by the lake began to be dismantled around ten o'clock that night. The group exited the woodland around Love Lake in an orderly manner, leaving only the dozen or so people who were temporarily protected lying far away from the lake shore. The church would soon come to take them away.

Xia De was the last one to leave here. He stood by the lake holding Little Mia, looking at the perfume bottle pushed ashore by the lake water. After using it to summon "Desire" just now, Xia De didn't pick it up.

"Are you worried?"

Grace and Helen hadn't left yet either. The sisters holding hands came to his side. The white-dressed sister Grace bent down and picked up the bottle, handing it to Xia De:

"But there is no choice, is there?"

"Yes, no choice."

He took the bottle and put it in his pocket:

"I knew from the beginning that I absolutely couldn't trust it completely, but it suddenly did such a thing, which still surprised me... Actually, thinking about it carefully, my trust in it seems to have been raised too high unconsciously... I let down my guard, I admit this is my mistake."

"Perhaps it's because beautiful humanoid relics all have the ability to charm you."

Helen said with a smile, tiptoeing to kiss Xia De's cheek:

"Let's go, sir, tonight's matter is temporarily over. I think at least after this, that lady should restrain herself a little."

"What did you see?"

Xia De asked, but the sisters both smiled and refused to say:

"Won't you know if you ask tonight?"

The Great Witches who came to support didn't intend to stay overnight locally, so in the end, Dorothy fused Grace and Helen and opened a portal to send everyone back.

Miss Winslett and Miss Danister watched the whole process from the side. The latter finally had a deep understanding of the existence form of the Chosen One of Space, while the former felt the unusual power and pursed her lips without saying a word.

The witches wanted to leave some of their followers to help, but they were all refused by Xia De in the end. The current manpower was completely enough. And then Luweiya, Dorothy, and Yin Yi Yi Lu Na, who was leaving Tobesk tomorrow, also returned to Tobesk separately.

Grace and Helen were the last to leave. The butterflies transformed by the sisters flew around Xia De for a long time before leaving. It was really thanks to them tonight.

Xia De took the cat and returned to the city with the ladies, sent them back to the Accordion Hotel, and said:

"I'll stay here tonight."

Xia De had already told Luweiya about this before she left.

The eighteen-year-old red-haired girl was not surprised by this, knowing that he was still worried about the witch who woke up from the dream. And Miss Bell asked directly:

"Then where in room 321 are you going to stay? Do you need to notify the hotel to add a bed, or just make do on the sofa?"

But the witch refused:

"You go back to rest, I want... to be alone for a while."

Xia De looked at the red-haired girl, so the latter helped Xia De ask:

"Flora, do you still feel mentally wrong? Why don't you let Xia De stay? If something happens, he can handle it immediately."

"No, I just..."

She looked at Xia De for a moment:

"Too many things happened today, I want to think about some things by myself. See you tomorrow, Xia De, see you tomorrow."

Saying this, she pursed her lips and took a step forward, kissing Xia De on the lips in front of her friends and apprentices. Then the two separated, and she covered her mouth, or rather, covered her face and walked toward the washroom.

"She's shy."

Miss Danister said with a smile.

"Miss is just not used to it yet."

Miss Bell said so, and Xia De shook his head:

"It's good that she's fine. The matter of Love Lake is temporarily over, I'll go back first, see you tomorrow."

The crystal shoes were dropped, and Xia De disappeared into Vesta Woodland.

(Little Mia is running...)

The one who consumed the most energy tonight was actually not Xia De, but Dorothy. The Red Butterfly Twins are themselves top-tier Angel-level relics, but even with the identity of a Chosen One, the young writer is only a Seventh-Ring Shushi.

Opening portals continuously tonight, even with Princess Lei Qianya sharing the consumption, she was really exhausted.

After Xia De returned home, Yin Yi Yi Lu Na said goodbye and left. Luweiya was washing up in the washroom. Miss Jia Lin Na, who had been waiting anxiously for news at home after the banquet, gave him a hug and told him that Vanessa had left with Siris, and they were going to hold an exchange meeting with peers in the local literary world tomorrow.

"Where is Dorothy?"

Xia De didn't see the writer.

"She went to the side bedroom to rest. She also told us to tell you not to go see her, all she needs now is rest."

Although she said so, Xia De still went to the side bedroom, carefully took the blonde girl's hand and sat by the bed for a while, before carefully leaving again, but didn't notice the smile on Dorothy's face after the door closed. ===== CHAPTER 2686 =====
