Chapter 2686: The Power of Long-Haired Luweiya

~10 min read 1,835 words

Miss Jia Lin Na didn't leave tonight either, but she stayed downstairs with Tifa and the others, leaving the upstairs to Xia De and Luweiya.

It was already very late, so there were no other family activities at home tonight. Xia De prepared a delicious midnight snack for the cat that saved his life today and let it sleep beside his pillow.

And when the midnight bell rang, Xia De, who was embracing Luweiya, unsurprisingly saw the dilapidated house in his dream again.

Meeting only after using the Black Time Key was a rule Long-Haired Luweiya set for herself to prevent the pollution carried by her soul from affecting Xia De. But in fact, as long as she was willing, the two could meet at any time.

That long-haired girl was still waiting for Xia De under the dim yellow sky on the roof. After Xia De sat down and embraced her, she spoke with a smile this time:

"Don't worry, that mermaid won't do anything similar to this again."

"So it was indeed you who took action while I was in the lake?"

"Xia De, didn't you leave the 【Staff of Yggdrasil】 with me for this purpose? But I didn't use power; it was Little Mia... Don't ask about her; there are some things I can't answer now."

She hugged Xia De affectionately:

"That mermaid represents the purest concept of 'Desire.' You gradually developed a sense of trust in it, even feeling that it wasn't bad—that was not your fault. No living creature with a soul and wisdom can escape its influence."

"But this will only happen once. You can rest assured and talk or cooperate with it in the future."

"Is Little Mia that powerful?"

"Why can't it be that I am that powerful?"

The purple-eyed girl said coquettishly. Xia De kissed her, and Luweiya was very satisfied with this:

"I have also dealt with Desire, but we were just using each other. I know its origin, but I also cannot tell you. It is very ancient, yes, quite ancient. The source of its power comes from the God of Chaos, which is why the witches' power can effectively suppress it."

"Is there any way for me to know its origin, or even master a way to deal with it?"

Xia De asked again, and Luweiya shook her head:

"Xia De, this is meaningless... Well, looking at your expression, I know you must do it. Is it because Flora Winslett was almost harmed this time that you were scared?"

"In the time we are in now, 'Desire' is in an active period. Any investigation of yours will alarm it. So I suggest you go to the Fifth Era to find clues. In that era, transcendents were not only generally stronger than in this era, but the activity of 'Desire' was also weaker."

"If you have the opportunity to flip through the records of the Orthodox Church about 'Desire,' you will find that 'Desire' was quite quiet in the Fifth Era, as if it had been in a sealed state for an entire era."

This sounded like she had flipped through those records.

"Fifth Era... will there be clues on Chloe's side?"

Xia De asked, and the long-haired girl thought for a while:

"In the early Fifth Era... I have never traveled through time perfectly just by relying on the Time Key like you, so I cannot give you a definitive answer. But there must be clues in that era. As for whether the Ice Witch you mentioned can provide help, it's hard to say."

She gently sniffed the scent on Xia De's soul, knowing in her heart that this was probably what attracted Flora Winslett:

"That mermaid actually has deep resentment toward the God of Chaos. Be careful to warn those witches who have not reached the 13th tier not to face it alone. The relationship between 【Desire】 and the ancient God of Chaos is related to the beginning of our world, related to the legends of the ancient times, and related to the first gods and the first living creatures."

A sad look that was hard to detect appeared on her face, but even "she" did not remind Xia De of this point:

"Fortunately, compared to the initial era, the current Desire is already quite weak."

"Luweiya, can it be considered weak like this? During the Battle of Moon Bay, it blocked a blow from the Nameless Firstborn."

Purple eyes stared at him:

"Xia De, in the initial era that is considered the 'Mythical Era' by people now, 'Desire' was already the most dangerous thing in the whole world... But for Vesta Woodland, Love Lake is definitely not the most dangerous area there."

Xia De's mouth twitched, and he hugged his beloved girl tightly:

"Then can you tell me how strong you are? That mermaid definitely noticed your difference tonight. You said it won't trouble me again, but I'm worried it will trouble you."

The long-haired girl smiled even more happily:

"Don't worry about this. It doesn't dare to come to me. We haven't discussed my full-strength power before, but Xia De, when you incarnate as a god, can you restart the time of the Sixth Era? Everything from the beginning, just like I have done many times."

Xia De shook his head immediately:

"I can't do it."

"But I did it. Do you know, Xia De, I restarted the Sixth Era because I didn't want to face the final ending of the world. I wanted to find a way to a different ending. But even if I wasn't satisfied with those endings, I was still the only one who achieved an ending through power, do you understand?"

Now the outlander understood. If using a game as a metaphor, although the final ending achieved in each "Whispering Chapter" game was not what Luweiya wanted, at least she passed the game at full level every time, and supplemented missing achievements, established unreached character relationships, collected important documents, and found missing key props every week.

Although using a game as a metaphor for the normal world is definitely not accurate, it's about the same.

As for how powerful the full-strength form of the long-haired girl who welcomed the end of the world time and time again in a "full-level" state is, the outlander couldn't think of it for the time being, but she definitely possessed the power of a god. And no matter how powerful "Desire" is, it cannot change the fact that the "God of Temperance" sealed it, and the fish people also sealed it using divinity.

Thinking of this, Xia De felt much more at ease:

"We won't talk about this today. Although I slept for a whole day, I still feel very tired. The matter of Love Lake ends here, and I don't want to pay attention to that place anymore."

"Are you very tired? I thought you wanted to do other things."

The girl on the roof said with a smile, and then reached out to Xia De. She would cry in a while; she always cried at that time, which was one of the few big differences between Long-Haired and Shoulder-Length Luweiya.

Adequate exercise and rest are conducive to physical and mental health, because Xia De said that the dream at the bottom of Love Lake for a whole day also had an impact on him, and he was worried that he would dream of that lake again if he entered the dream tonight, so the long-haired girl took the initiative to occupy all his dream time for the whole night.

And this led to the fact that when Luweiya woke up early on Wednesday morning, she held her head for a long time before sitting up:

"Xia De, do you know? My dreams last night were all about you. Yes, it seems we were... all night long. Am I that kind of girl? Or am I still worried that you won't wake up?"

A brand new day started with breakfast from the maids. After breakfast, the ladies left separately to continue their work. And the "freelancer" Dorothy left a little later, after all, she didn't need to work as a writer.

A whole night of rest also allowed Dorothy to recover from fatigue, and she also told Xia De a good news in the living room:

"Opening the portal with extreme spellcasting last night also allowed us to gain new improvements."

"Now you and Princess Lei Qianya can also open portals?"

Xia De was very pleasantly surprised.

"Of course not, that will have to wait until we reach high ring. It's this kind of skill, wait a moment."

So she stood still, and Xia De guessed she was waiting for Princess Lei Qianya. Not long after, Dorothy said with a smile:

"Demonstrating to you now, please don't blink."

As she said this, she turned around in place, and when she turned back, her blonde hair turned into red hair, and Princess Lei Qianya was already looking at Xia De with a smile. It is worth mentioning that the clothes on Princess Lei Qianya at this time, if added together, probably didn't have as much fabric as a hat.

"I'm in the bath, people in the Yodel Palace won't get up as early as you."

Princess Lei Qianya hugged Xia De:

"How is it? Now not only exchanging souls, exchanging things in hands, Dorothy and I can exchange positions anytime and anywhere... It feels more convenient. I can use my own body to rendezvous with you more often."

She kissed Xia De with a smile, and the princess thought that seeing Xia De early in the morning meant that this day would be very lucky.

"This is a very good start. As you become stronger, your mastery of space will become more proficient. When Miss Sylvia, you and Dorothy, Grace and Helen can all open portals at any time, some troubles will no longer be troubles."

"Is this what you care about?"

The princess leaned close to Xia De's ear:

"This kind of exchange between Dorothy and me belongs to our instinct talent rather than spellcasting, so it doesn't consume spirit, only stamina. Thursday, tomorrow, is the Day of the Red Butterfly. My knight, we will let you know how powerful princesses are."

Princess Lei Qianya kissed Xia De again with a smile, and in the next second turned into Dorothy, whose clothes were a bit damp. It seemed that the princess's bathroom was already filled with steam.

Dorothy left 6 St. Derand Square at 7:30 in the morning, and Xia De welcomed Father Augustus, who was carrying a suitcase, at 8:00 in the morning:

"Fortunately you didn't leave, I'm really sorry, I said I would prepare it in three days, but I made you wait an extra day."

The old priest brought Xia De a relic, or rather a relic derivative, to repair the key in the hands of the young witch Miss McCona. ===== CHAPTER 2687 =====
