Chapter 2853

~10 min read 1,922 words

The ritual given by the doctor looked really safe. He modified the ritual framework without affecting the ritual's effect, and increased the restrictions on the summoned object during summoning.

But this still couldn't change the fact that Xia De had to use a ritual to summon a demon projection. This was an incomparably stupid behavior in his eyes before... and it was also incomparably stupid now.

But after reading the content of the ritual, plus the trust in the doctor, Xia De still decided to try it. It's just that soon he discovered the most difficult place. This was not because the ritual needed very precious materials, but...

"You have been stuttering for a long time, Xia De, what exactly do you want me to help you prepare?"

On Monday night, in the corner of the cabin of the Radiant Messenger, the purple-eyed diviner lady asked Xia De with some dissatisfaction:

"Illegal materials or immoral materials? Since it is summoning a demon, the witches and I all understand, so do you think I would care about this?"

"No, no, it's not that serious... I need some helpers who meet specific requirements to help me complete this ritual. Not sacrifices, they need to hold the candlestick."

"What requirements?"

Xia De only then felt very embarrassed and leaned close to Luweiya's ear and whispered:

"Four pure girls under 25."

So Luweiya asked very surprisingly:

"What's wrong with this? Is this condition harsh?"

Most of the witches have passed the "shelf life." Although the witch followers look young, those girls who are at least mid-ring only look young because of the witch's power, and in fact, they have all exceeded the age.

But even so, Luweiya felt that there were still many girls under 25 on this ship. If she thought of four people at once, Ajelina, who was about to approach this age, Dorothy, Lei Qianya, and Ajelina, who was seventeen, would be just right

Lu Wei Ya pushed Xia De, feeling half-amused and half-angry, but it seemed she felt more amused:

"Isn't this all your fault? Who told you to... dian/wu us all."

The outsider knew he was in the wrong and that only Lu Wei Ya could help with this matter:

"Jia Lin Na definitely counts, but she is only at the Second Tier now, and I don't want to involve her in matters related to demons.

I want you to help me ask about the ages of Miss Pulin, Miss Xiao Miya, and Miss Beiya; these are three candidates. Plus Jia Lin Na, she is the same age as Princess Lei Qianya but two months younger, so she also qualifies; and there is also Miss Lu Weiya, who is even younger than I guessed, so she also meets the requirements.

The above are five candidates. If in the end, I really can't gather four people, then eighteen-year-old Doctor Shi Nai De also counts, but I don't want her to know I'm summoning a demon. So I can go to Lu Anda and call over Xi Li Si, who is still there; her age also meets the requirements."

Xia De stated his plan, and Lu Wei Ya agreed while holding back her laughter:

"You are too embarrassed to ask yourself, so you want me to do it, right? Fine, I'll go... wait, most of the witch apprentices are very young and might all meet the criteria, but did you leave someone out?"

Her purple eyes looked at him with a smile:

"Miss Difa, you didn't mention this name. I don't believe you forgot."

She asked Xia De:

"I remember Miss Difa's age should be exactly around 25. Do you know for sure she is over the age limit, or have you already... her too?"

"No, no."

Xia De shook his head hurriedly:

"I promised Miss Jia Lin Na that I wouldn't do that without her permission."

"Then why didn't you mention her just now?"

Feeling that she was being mischievous, Lu Wei Ya continued to ask with a smile, even taking a step forward to get closer to Xia De to create a sense of "pressure." Xia De stammered for a long time before whispering an explanation to her:

"Although Miss Difa and I haven't... we have done other things... many other things. So, even though her body is still pure, whether it counts as... well, it's hard to say."

Summoning that wish-granting demon to ask about what happened back then is the most important thing for the continued progression of the major events in the Weisi Sect forest. Therefore, Lu Wei Ya promised Xia De to find out everyone's age as soon as possible and help him come up with excuses like "your birth time is very suitable for participating in this ritual" to prevent more awkward situations from occurring.

However, no matter how urgent this matter is, it cannot be solved tonight.

It was already nearly ten o'clock after Xia De finished talking with Lu Wei Ya. He went to visit Miss Jia Lin Na, who was bedridden, once more. And when he returned to his room on the third floor of the Ludian, the fortune-teller was indeed waiting for him there:

"I thought Miss Jia Lin Na would let you stay."

"Given her current condition, it's best not to have intimate contact with me."

As Xia De said this, he let Lu Wei Ya, who had taken the initiative to reach out, hug him. The not-so-pure young lady whispered in his ear:

"In a while, tell me in detail what you have done with Miss Difa."

In fact, if Xia De hadn't been so anxious to tell Lu Wei Ya about this, he wouldn't have had to go through this embarrassment, because early Monday morning, he discovered that the number of young ladies who met the criteria was actually one more than he had expected.

That was at six o'clock on Monday morning. Even the cat and Xia De, who were used to waking up early, were still fast asleep. Then, the second most desperate scream Xia De had ever heard in his life came from the room next door:

"This is impossible!"

"What's wrong?"

Xia De and Lu Wei Ya, who was curled up in his arms, woke up immediately. Even the cat in the cabinet started flapping around, wanting Xia De to let it out.

And when the two of them and the cat, wearing pajamas and slippers, arrived in the hallway, the other doors on the third-floor hallway were also opened. It seemed everyone had been woken up.

"What happened?"

Miss Deng En's room was right next to Xia De's, but the direction the scream came from just now was not there.

The red-haired girl also looked like she had just woken up, wearing a nightgown with her red hair draped casually. Seeing Xia De cast his gaze toward her, she first felt instinctively shy, then shook her head:

"That sound came from Miss Vanessa's side."

At this time, the doors to Miss Feilian and Miss Lu Yi Sha's rooms were also opened. The sleepy witches, seeing Xia De looking at them, instinctively shrank back a step because they hadn't washed up or dressed yet. But the Great Witch of Death immediately turned back into an owl and jumped onto her apprentice's shoulder:

"Go knock on the door, what are you standing here for?"

The witches staying in the Ludian last night were Miss Feilian, Miss Lu Yi Sha, and Miss Vanessa. Miss Jia Lin Na, Miss Lu Weiya, and Madame Sangmei were on the ship. With Miss Lu Yi Sha there, the ship was very safe even though Miss Jia Lin Na was a patient.

Everyone in the Ludian didn't feel anything unusual last night. After being woken up by the scream, they didn't find any signs that any rituals set up on the third floor had been activated.

So Xia De and Miss Lu Yi Sha walked to the door of that Thirteenth-Tier Great Witch's room together. Lu Wei Ya, taking advantage of the fact that no one noticed her and Xia De appearing at the door, moved one step to the left and stood beside Miss Deng En.

"Vanessa! What's wrong with you?"

Xia De asked, but instead of knocking, he reached out and touched the doorknob, letting the lock pop open automatically.

The sound of the lock opening was very clear, and Vanessa in the room could certainly hear it too:

"Don't come in!"

She shouted in a high-pitched voice, sounding very desperate:

"Nobody come in!"

But the more she said that, the more anxious everyone outside became. Xia De pushed the door open directly, and the figure that had originally walked into the suite's living room retreated rapidly back into the bedroom. Just as Xia De opened the door, the sound of the bedroom door slamming shut also happened to occur.

So a group of people crowded into Vanessa's room. Seeing that it was impossible to stop everyone from coming in, Vanessa, who had locked herself in the bedroom, had no choice but to continue saying in a high-pitched voice:

"Miss Feilian, only you can come in to see me."

The owl flapped its wings and was about to fly toward the bedroom door, but was grabbed by Xia De just as it took off:

"That won't do. Miss Feilian's owl state isn't even at the High Tier, so I can't let her go in alone. Vanessa, what on earth is wrong?"

"Then let Miss Feilian and Miss Lu Yi Sha come in together, at most plus Lu Wei Ya. Xia De, you absolutely cannot come in!"

Xia De then signaled Miss Beiya to go to his room, retrieve two Angel-level longswords, and hand them to Miss Lu Yi Sha and Lu Wei Ya. Miss Feilian also turned back into human form, and the three of them walked in through the crack of the opened bedroom door.

Because the witches had left, Miss Deng En walked to Xia De's side. Although they had spent two months together in the city of Weisi, this was the first time Xia De had seen her standing beside him dressed so casually.

If being turned into an eighteen-year-old because of a curse made the relationship between Miss Deng En and Xia De somewhat strange, then at this moment, both of them were standing together in pajamas and nightgowns. Although nothing had happened, they both felt that their relationship seemed unable to return to how it was two months ago:

"What do you think happened?"

The red-haired girl asked in a low voice, and voices could already be heard in the bedroom. Although they were successive exclamations representing surprise, perhaps there would be substantial content next.

"I don't know, but if something happened, it must be a big deal. Vanessa is a Thirteenth-Tier Great Witch of the Earth. Because of her seat, her various resistances are exceptionally high, and her physical quality is almost the strongest among witches of the same tier..."

The bedroom door was opened, and Miss Feilian, with a straight face, poked her head out and beckoned to Xia De and Miss Deng En:

"You come in too, but be sure to restrain your emotions. Xia Luoke, let everyone disperse; there's no need to crowd here. You take some people to the ship and see if any accidents have occurred there.

If everything is fine on the ship, let Madame Sangmei and Miss Lu Weiya come over; Vanessa has encountered some small trouble."
