Chapter 2792

The two were standing on the platform on the third floor of the treehouse at this time. After being asked the question by the little princess, the elf still started with the familiar sentence:

"I am not Amelia."

"Yes, yes, you are not Amelia, Xia De reminded me privately just now... how did you grow up to be so beautiful?"

Because she was complimented, the golden-haired elf answered this question. She thought for a moment:

"There's nothing to it. Go to bed early and get up early, drink more milk, don't stay up late, and exercise more."

The princess carrying the cat hurriedly memorized these words:

"And then I can grow tall and... become bigger?"

Only then did the elf understand her meaning, but remembering what she saw of Ajielina's grown-up appearance three years ago, she said somewhat uncertainly:

"This also depends on family lineage; human growth is just like trees, the environment and the breed are both... your great-aunt, mother, and sister are all very good... in short, do as I say, even if you can't grow tall, at least your body will be very healthy."

"Meow~"

The cat on her head was urging Ajielina to go find Xia De, and the little princess then said goodbye to the grown-up elf and left in a hurry.

The elf did not give any advice on Ajielina's current relic-affected state, because she knew that Ajielina would definitely be able to achieve a breakthrough on her own. As for Ajielina's appearance after growing up...

"I wasn't mature when I looked last time; perhaps it's different now."

Thinking this in her heart, the elf blinked those emerald green eyes and looked at Ajielina's back as she clumsily prepared to jump to the second floor, and then she revealed an expression of astonishment.

The result this time was indeed different from the last time. Although the cat on Ajielina's head was still a cat, Ajielina's appearance was not just slightly changed.

In those eyes of hers that could see through the future, Ajielina's whole person became blurry, until she turned into a large mass of chaotic colors.

This was not the lack of change like Xia De and little Mia, nor was it the sense of danger that made her eyes sting and close immediately when looking at Luweiya. This seemed to represent that Ajielina's future was completely chaotic and unknown; even with the limiting factors of lineage and growth environment, her future had no fixed form.

"Ajielina... does Xia De know this?"

Xia De certainly knew this, so when the elf came to ask, he answered very easily.

However, because today was Monday, before saying goodbye to the elf in the woods, Xia De did not forget to take out this week's gift from the 【God's Gift Box】 temporarily stored with her.

This week's gift was actually just a nail clipper; although it was inlaid with small diamonds, it was unknown which noble lady's it was copied from, but it was of no use to Xia De. Therefore, it was put away by him, treated as daily supplies carried on his person, hoping that it would be used one day in the future.

As for Amelia, she was quite reluctant for little Liana to stay in the woods for a period of time, but seeing the little unicorn playing very happily with that group of chocobos who had never seen a unicorn, she had to say goodbye to her reluctantly:

"I will come to see you again on Wednesday night, don't miss me too much. Sister, you must take good care of little Liana; she is a very delicate child."

Not long after returning to the ship, it was time to eat. Although the Radiant Messenger had almost infinite energy, the kitchen would not cook automatically. Originally, the kitchen work was the responsibility of Miss Hayley Aurora, the niece of Miss Aurora, but after Galina arrived, Tifa didn't know what means she used, but she actually obtained the "ownership" of the kitchen.

And because of this, the lunch on the ship was still northern-style dishes, and after eating lunch, Xia De first chatted with Miss Aurora about the precious alchemical materials he had entrusted her to collect last week—these were for the witches of the "Ash Valley" to use in their lectures, and then he obtained the materials and two extra coins from the brown-haired witch:

"These were collected recently."

The witch handed the two coins to Xia De in her room. These were not unfamiliar relics, but the Poet-level relic 【Lute's Sorrow】 that Xia De had seen before. If this coin were thrown to the ground, it could cause a sad piece of music played by a lute to randomly sound in the space, and the price was that the user would lose the ability to speak for one hour.

"Don't be in a hurry to leave; I still have things to tell you."

After giving the coins, the witch grabbed Xia De's hand again, her golden eyes looking at Xia De with a hint of resentment:

"We haven't had a chance to chat since we met this time. I know you've been very busy lately, but you should have a few minutes to spare, right? I heard from Galina that your relationship with Flora is developing very fast, is that right?"

Xia De nodded, put down the things in his hand, and hugged her gently:

"I suppose so; we have kissed. Although you didn't come to Lake of Love, you should have heard that our relationship only started to advance by leaps and bounds from that time."

"Yes, Flora now can't wait to tell every witch who comes to Vista City about the Lake of Love once."

She didn't push Xia De away either, but tapped Xia De's chest gently with her finger:

"Now there are more and more witches around you. Speaking of which, when I met you in Coldwater Port last summer, I was only the second witch you knew... only a little later than Galina."

She looked at Xia De with a slightly sad expression on her face:

"Now, it has only been a little over a year since I first saw you in the closet of the Aurora Manor in Coldwater Port, but I couldn't have imagined at the time that so many things would happen in this year, from Coldwater Port to Mibao, then to Pantanal Swamp, Randall Valley, Green Lake, Moon Bay... Your heart is holding more and more people, so is there still a place for me?"

"How could you think that? Of course there is you."

Xia De answered immediately, looking at Miss Aurora, who seemed to be about to cry, with great guilt:

"Although we are not together often, I can guarantee that I have absolutely not forgotten you. Although it sounds a bit like a playboy when I say this, for the time being, my heart can still hold so many people."

The Outsider himself felt it was shameless to speak like this, but at least Miss Aurora had no objections. She broke into a smile through her tears, but did not let go of Xia De:

"I don't want to force you to make any statement, it's just that seeing Vanessa wearing that ring and showing it off everywhere, and now even Flora... Xia De, can you call me by my name directly later? Don't call me 'Miss Aurora' anymore. We are already in that kind of relationship; where on my body haven't you seen? Are you still being so distant?"

"Usually men say things like this. Okay, Xiwei, I will call you by your name directly from now on."

"I didn't expect it to take me a year from meeting to calling you by your name directly. Perhaps in this respect, I really can't compare to Galina."

She smiled and broke free from Xia De's embrace, and then kissed him.

At the same time, Ajielina on the corridor was carrying the cat to find Xia De, wanting to tell him that information had come from the city, but the little princess was stopped by Miss Hayley Aurora, who was guarding the door.

The young girl with the same hair color as the witch stopped the little princess and the cat:

"Sorry, Aunt is... communicating feelings with Mr. Hamilton. She said in advance that this communication is very important and no one is allowed to enter."

"Is that so? Then I'll wait here for a while."

Ajielina said very understandingly, probably guessing that this was another "little trick" of the witch.

Although at first none of the witches had the courage to grab the small snacks on the table, watching more and more people reach out, even the most reserved girl had to play some little tricks.

Xiwei received Xia De's promise again, and after being intimate with Xia De in the room for a while, she was willing to let Xia De leave, and hinted that she wanted to play some interesting games with Xia De after Miss Sylvia also arrived locally.

And when Xia De returned to the ship's cabin corridor, he saw Ajielina carrying the cat waiting for him:

"Miss Charlotte Bell in the city has sent news!"

The little princess said immediately:

"The church notified them that the candidate belonging to the church has already opened the qualification and gone to the past. The other party only returned three hours after disappearing, and their level increased from the original six rings to nine rings at once."

Saying this, she handed the letter to Xia De, but Miss Hayley Aurora on the side handed a handkerchief to Xia De faster. Facing Xia De's puzzled gaze, the young girl whispered:

"Teacher's lipstick."

She soon left with the "dirty handkerchief." Xia De pretended that nothing had just happened and didn't open the letter first, but asked Ajielina:

"One day has passed out of the five days; have you thought about how to solve your own problem?"

Saying this, he reached his hand toward Ajielina's head and stroked little Mia, who was lying down and a bit sleepy; after lunch was this cat's nap time.

The red-haired little princess shook her head hesitantly, and then smiled and said to Xia De:

"You don't need to worry about my affairs; aren't your affairs here more urgent? I can handle my own affairs well."

"What I'm worried about is that after I wake up one morning, I will never be able to remember you again. Didn't those two maids of yours gradually lose their memories of you after you disappeared?"

Xia De said, and Ajielina pursed her lips:

"I don't have too many thoughts about the status quo either. Telling my sister that I wanted to try it myself was just because I wanted to prove that I also have the determination to change myself. Now Iluna is changing, and Amelia is changing; I cannot be the only one who doesn't change."

Xia De reached out his hand again, but not to pet the cat, but placed his hand on Ajielina's shoulder:

"Princess Lei Qianya and I don't need you to become another person."

Xia De emphasized:

"We just hope that you can become strong and powerful by changing yourself; this is a dual improvement of spirit and strength. I bet that if you suddenly became thirteen rings, even if you stayed in your bedroom reading novels every day, Princess Lei Qianya would absolutely not say anything about you."

"Let's not mention the matter of reading books in the bedroom."

Ajielina protested with a red face.
