Chapter 3087

~10 min read 1,968 words

Xia De explained to Lu Lu Weiya the mechanism of "exchanging time mission counts for meeting opportunities." This was easy to understand, and the young lady diviner, wearing pearl earrings, said:

"I thought that after you learned about this, you would be the first to open a new time key to earn mission counts."

"I promised you that I would rest for a while recently."

"You really know how to talk. I mean, so you haven't gone to see her yet, right?"

Xia De tasted a piece of foie gras; he only came out for a big meal today because he had returned home:

"I haven't. I still wanted to tell you about this first."

"Then go tonight. Don't let the girl who misses you wait too long."

She said with a smile, the background behind her being the magnificently decorated restaurant scenery. Waiters pushing dining carts walked among the glamorous guests, and the beautiful face of the purple-eyed girl in the foreground blended perfectly with this colorful scene.

If the Outsider knew how to paint, he would very much like to paint Lu Lu Weiya at this moment. However, although he didn't know how to paint, he thought of another thing:

"This is for you."

He handed the manuscript paper on which he had written in Professor Yu Ke Wood's office last night to Lu Lu Weiya. Lu Lu Weiya opened the folded manuscript, took a look, and said quite unexpectedly:

"Is this a love poem? Xia De, I didn't expect you to be able to write this."

"It's not written well. Maybe I should take it back; this is really..."

"No, this belongs to me."

She refolded the paper and put it into her handbag. She didn't care how well Xia De wrote; what she liked was the emotion Xia De was willing to express.

No one would come to stay at 6 St. Deran Plaza tonight. The witches were in different cities, Lu Lu Weiya had to work overtime at the Society, Duo Luo Qian was at home rushing to finish her manuscript, and Grace and Helen had returned to Mi Bao to guard the seal. The sisters said they would come to play with Xia De next week.

Therefore, after eating dinner and sending Lu Lu Weiya back to the Society, Xia De returned home with quick steps. But once he really arrived home, he felt he shouldn't have appeared so impatient.

"I should read for a while. Since I've planned to review seriously, I should get used to this kind of life on the first day of returning home."

Thinking this in his heart, he put the cat on the sofa, went to the bedroom to change his clothes, and then somehow walked through the door by the fireplace into the neighboring Room 2. By the time Xia De realized it, he was already standing at the bedroom door of Room 2 with the time key in his hand.

"May the World Tree protect me in the infinite time."

The bedroom door opened, and the Outsider, who ultimately couldn't control himself, walked into the white fog.

【Outsider, you have entered the Corridor of Time.】

Since he had already entered, Xia De would not hypocritically retreat. He looked at the archway standing in the thick fog, took a deep breath to adjust his mood, and then said in his heart:

"I want to use my time mission count to temporarily open a Time Transit Station."

【You must invite a guest after entering the Transit Station.】

"Yes, no problem."

Then the surrounding white fog gradually dispersed. Xia De thought he would be standing by a beautiful forest lake at night, or appear in a mysterious and magnificent treehouse, but when the scene before his eyes became clear, he found himself standing in the bedroom of Room 2 on the second floor of his own home, which was the place where Miss Miss Feilian had lived during the summer.

He blinked his eyes:

"Did I... retreat? Didn't you say you were going to open a Time Transit Station?"

"She" smiled gently:

【This place is the Time Transit Station, remember? The manifestation of the Transit Station is the space near the door.】

"Then why is it inside the door, not the living room outside the door?"

【Because outside the door belongs to the "Hall of the Secret Keeper."】

"She" made a lot of sense, so Xia De went to observe the bedroom in front of him, which had no lights on. After walking quickly to the door, he clicked and turned on the gas lamp.

When the maids took care of the house, they would clean every room except for Xia De's study and Room 3 on the third floor, which served as a laboratory. Even though Room 2 on the second floor was unoccupied, the gas lamp light now illuminated an exceptionally tidy room.

There were no wrinkles on the bed sheets, the quilt folded into a square was placed at the head of the bed, and two pillows were pressed on top of it.

This was indeed not a real bedroom. Looking out from the window, although one could see the city's night view, the shining starry sky, and the excessively large three moons, the window itself could not be opened. The moonlight did indeed possess the power of the moon, but Xia De suspected that it was light projected directly from the real world.

Wanting to open the bedroom door, he found that the door was fused with the wall. Using "Enhanced Spatial Perception" to determine the spatial environment here, the space outside the room was a boundless void in his perception.

But apart from the non-existent external environment, everything else in the room was exactly the same as in reality. The gas lamp could be used, the clothes in the cloakroom were all clothes that existed at this moment, and if one sniffed carefully, one could even smell the fragrance of lavender.

After confirming the situation of the "Transit Station" slightly, Xia De said in his heart:

"Then call Blaney Olanode, the Blaney three days after returning from the Sixth Era to the Fifth Era."

The reason it wasn't the second after she returned but three days later was not that Xia De intentionally neglected the witch; he just wanted Blaney to explain the Sixth Era to Miss Miss Feilian first, and it would indeed be strange to say goodbye and then meet again immediately.

"She" reminded him softly again:

【Outsider, please note that inviting guests from different times to enter the Transit Station requires the other party's consent. Even if the invitation is not accepted, 1 mission count will still be deducted.】

"No problem."

【Outsider, you have opened a temporary "Time Transit Station," mission count 18/21.】

Xia De's eyes were fixed on the door. After a moment of waiting—

Knock, knock, knock~

A knocking sound came, and then the door that Xia De couldn't open no matter what was pulled open from the outside. Outside the door was the endless white fog, and walking out of that white fog in confusion was Blaney, whom he hadn't been able to say a proper goodbye to last time.

Her long yellow hair was braided into a complex style. She had changed out of her modern Sixth Era attire and was now wearing a witch's gorgeous robe, while her feet were still in the brown ladies' cloth boots Xia De was most familiar with.

After passing through the white fog and seeing Xia De, Blaney didn't call his name immediately. Xia De knew she was still suspicious of whether this was some kind of illusion trap, so he concentrated his spirit and resonated with the moon seal on the witch's forehead.

When the silver crescent emblem lit up on Blaney's forehead, the pleasantly surprised girl threw herself into Xia De's arms:

"Xia De!"

This was a dry and tidy bedroom with a soft bed, and the two tightly embracing each other were lovers who loved each other, so what followed could be considered logical.

The impact when Blaney rushed over to hug Xia De made him take a few steps back—the power of a demigod great witch was quite terrifying, followed by a passionate kiss born of three days of longing. Just as Xia De wanted to ask about her conversation with Miss Miss Feilian after returning, Blaney had already reached out to touch the buttons of Xia De's coat.

"Wait a moment, I don't know how long this place can exist. What did you say to Teacher Miss Feilian after you went back? And I need to tell you about the rules here. This time, I can be considered to have found a way to stably connect two time periods."

"Who cares about that now?"

She pushed Xia De onto the bed. The smiling witch finally had the leisure to observe the surrounding environment:

"This is very similar to the bedroom Teacher lived in, in the memories Fiona shared."

"It is that room, no, it should be called a mirror image, after all, this is not reality."

So the yellow-haired moon witch asked Xia De excitedly:

"So, did you deliberately choose our trysting place here because Teacher lived here?"

"This... this involves the specific rules of the 【Corridor of Time】 and the 'Transit Station.' Listen to me carefully, the relationship between the Corridor of Time, the Transit Station, and the Time Key..."

"Are you really going to waste time saying these things? Although it's not the hot spring from last time, I'm already very satisfied. After I went back, I built a hot spring myself using Moon Water. Let's go soak in it together next time you go to St. Byrons."

The passionate kiss represented her intense longing. She had thought it would be a long time before they met again, but she didn't expect to see Xia De again in just three days. She didn't want to consider when they would meet next time, nor did she want to know what he had paid for this meeting; she only hoped that this moment could last longer.

A mirror image from reality meant that the temperature in the room was very comfortable. When Blaney's hair touched Xia De's face, the gentle and intellectual lady offered everything of herself once again. Looking at her face and feeling her heartbeat, the Outsider became even more eager to completely connect the time and space of the present and the past.

He shouldn't let them wait too long in the distant past. If he couldn't hold their hands forever, the promise at the end of time would no longer have meaning.

Of course, everything in the Transit Station was not real, so there was no need to make the bed or tidy the room afterwards. Xia De was quite satisfied with this point.

Simple intimacy would not cause too much of a time paradox, so theoretically, this reunion could last for a long time. Two and a half hours later, Blaney lay on her side on the bed with her long hair draped over her, held in Xia De's arms. The flush on her face and white shoulders had not yet faded, her red lips were slightly parted, breathing softly, and the brilliance of the moon seal on her forehead, which had appeared due to emotional excitement, was also slowly fading.

Xia De was whispering the basic rules of the "Transit Station" and stating the total number of time missions he possessed at the current point in time. Blaney listened quietly to his heartbeat and his voice, and only spoke after he finished:

"It seems there is half an hour left. So, meetings in the Transit Station like this can only last for three hours, is that right?"
