Chapter 3761

Xivi raised her head in the pool, golden eyes looking at Xia De:

"I love you, Xia De."

After speaking, she didn't give Xia De a chance to respond to this confession, tears had already fallen:

"Why let me meet you, and why let me become such an unimportant appearance after meeting you? If I were the first, I could get more of your love; if I were behind, your memories and feelings for me would become fresher."

In the rippling light, scenes appeared one after another. Those were the times Xia De had spent with Xivi, and they were once beautiful memories. Xia De looked at the scene where he and Xivi were taking a small boat and circling the coast of Fatumont Island, and then raised his head to say to Xivi:

"Apologies, there is still plenty of time to tell in the future. Now I just want to say, I didn't deliberately ignore you, you are the same as others in my heart."

"I don't compare with Luweiya, we both know she is special. But in your heart, am I really the same as Galina, Vanessa and the others?"

"Really."

"Then why are you willing to make love with them, but not willing to touch me?"

The words were slightly vulgar, but this was the question she really wanted to ask.

【The jealousy of girls is the most terrible poison.】

"She" even said this at this moment. Xia De looked at Xivi's eyes:

"I am not a very active person, I just want to create more memories with you, want to find a more suitable opportunity. Xivi, I never define our relationship by whether I have the most intimate relationship with girls."

The witch showed a miserable expression:

"But Xia De, I define the feelings between us by this."

She said and pulled her head into the water, so Xia De jumped into the pool.

This pool couldn't see the bottom at all, so Xia De couldn't estimate how deep the water was before this. After jumping in, he felt as if he had jumped into a large rift in the seabed.

Warm water wrapped around him from all directions, and below was an abyss that could not be detected in depth. He tried to find Xivi in the water, but what he saw when he opened his eyes were dense and inconsistent pictures—

Xivi encountered 【Desire】 alone in the secret passage under the manor, she participated in and stopped the "Sea Return" ritual; in the Council, Adele cast a spell to suppress the curse of the Unknowable-level relic for Xivi, and then she stood alone in the late autumn manor watching the leaves fall; while the pink mark of a mermaid appeared on her forehead, Xivi resisted a blow from Laplace Howard in the state of "Edwards God-Ascension Art", and then above a strange city, Xivi fought with a huge mechanical creation in the posture of a mermaid.

And at the end of these pictures, Xivi Aphrodite with white hair, in another autumn, sat alone on the edge of the fountain statue in the courtyard of the Aphrodite Manor in Cold Water Port, looking at the golden courtyard.

Although her face was still young, she exuded a sense of old age that was more obvious than Grandma Cassandra. After a sigh, she stabbed a pink crystal dagger that resembled the "Thorn of Love" into her chest.

While the soul crystallized, her body also gradually turned into pink crystals, and finally she turned into pink debris and disappeared in the autumn sun.

"Su Sheng!"

And before the last scene disappeared, Xia De stretched out his right hand toward that scene in the water. The fate of "Su Sheng" flickered with soft white light on the back of his hand, so his right hand passed through that scene and grabbed Xivi, who was also in the water behind the scene.

The witch's state at this moment was particularly bad. She was just like what was shown in the picture, her body was healthy but her soul was close to a withered state.

【The curse of "Desire" gave her power, but required her to constantly obtain "love" to enrich her soul. Doing so would lead the other party who gave love to misfortune, so she refused to do so until her own soul withered.

To prevent something more terrible from being born after the soul withered, she or the Council found an artifact related to the Old God-God of Love, and ended her life with it.】

While Xia De hugged Xivi in the water, "She" softly summarized and guessed the picture just now. This guess should be what would happen in the past life if Luweiya did not intervene in "Desire".

However, Xia De knew that the Xivi he was hugging at this moment was the Xivi belonging to his own time. Seeing that the fate of Su Sheng could not save the decline of soul power, he tried moon fire and dark moon grace, but none of them worked.

"Inner Fire."

After sharing the temperature of his own soul with Xivi, her state got a little better, but just a little soul temperature was not enough to make her recover to normal.

【Share your soul power, your soul is strong enough.】

"She" in his ear gave a suggestion.

"But I don't know how to share soul power."

"She" smiled gently:

【Open your soul, use feelings to accept and fill her.】

So Xia De in the water held that pale face and kissed it. Past memories made emotions surge. The complex emotions brewed by love and guilt made Xia De's soul and Xivi's soul touch each other.

Love is the interaction between soul and soul, so the withered soul absorbed some power from the great soul.

She in the water opened her golden eyes in a trance, and then saw Xia De close at hand, and also felt this wet but incomparably enthusiastic kiss.

She closed her eyes again, and then let herself be completely invested in this kiss. So Xia De felt the two rising rapidly, felt Xivi hugging him tightly.

But when he really poked his head out from under the water, he found that the witch in his arms disappeared again.

"I never thought before that I would jump into this pool."

After Xia De climbed out of the pool, before he had time to steam dry his clothes with fire, he heard Xivi's singing again.

He then left the dark room and continued to move forward in the secret passage. In his memory, the passage ahead would become narrower and narrower, until finally only the cracks in the rocks remained, but this time the passage always maintained a width that allowed one person to pass.

At the end of the secret passage was the hidden pier under the cliff on the side of the Aphrodite Manor. This pier looked like a piece of the bottom of the sea cliff had been hollowed out artificially. And compared to the abandoned appearance Xia De saw in the present world, the pier now looked like it was always being used.

The newly built pier trestle extended from the dark cave to the moonlight, and the witch who was singing was standing at the end of the trestle at this moment. The waves rolled under her feet, the moonlight illuminated her graceful figure, and the shadows of the sea cliff and the manor behind also only projected to the other side.

Compared to the her he saw in the window just now, Xivi in a white dress at this time was more like a goddess in a story.

Xia De walked quickly along the trestle, and returning to the moonlight made his whole body feel comfortable. And the witch who was singing with her back to him stopped again after hearing his footsteps.

Turning to look at Xia De, the witch who had absorbed soul power had returned to normal. Xia De saw some things from her eyes, so he asked tentatively:

"Xivi, you remember what is happening now, right?"

The witch's face was flushed, but she still opened her arms silently. After Xia De walked over and hugged her, she also hugged Xia De and cried woo-woo~.

She seemed to know the current situation, but it also seemed that she was still immersed in those memories that did not belong to her. Although Xia De had never experienced such a thing, he knew what he should do at this moment.

Gently patting Xivi's back, he felt everything about the witch in his arms. Body and soul were all real, but the "curse of desire" did indeed exist in this body.

That was the power that simultaneously coiled around the body and soul, and even directly affected fate. She had just said how to alleviate this curse—

"Xivi, I love..."

"No, don't say this!"

The crying witch said immediately, and even wanted to reach out and push Xia De away:

"People who give me 'love' will encounter misfortune, no one should give me love. Xia De, leave me."

But she couldn't push Xia De, instead letting Xia De hug her tighter.

The witch who struggled hard gradually felt his most real feelings at this moment in Xia De's silence. After a moment, she stopped struggling and asked with tears on her face:

"In your heart, am I really that important?"

"Yes, this is a fact that doesn't need to be doubted."

Amidst the rustling crystal sound, his right hand touched the pink "Thorn of Love" from the air:

"The curse of love must be broken by giving love. The love given by the artifact is the power of the gods, which can only break the curse but cannot give you true love. But this dagger of mine is different—

Those individuals to whom I have not given feelings will have their souls crystallized after being stabbed; and those girls I deeply love will obtain power from my heart because of this dagger, which is the pink crystal spell."

He handed the dagger to Xivi, and then he held Xivi's right hand that was holding the dagger:

"Xivi, do you believe in my feelings for you?"

The witch's hand was held by Xia De. She drove the dagger to aim at her heart. Xivi Aphrodite, with tears in her eyes, looked at Xia De, who was standing at the end of the trestle with her under the moonlight:

"I have never doubted your feelings for me, Xia De, I just, I just... jealousy, anxiety, and some... dissatisfaction."

She hugged Xia De with her left hand, and then her right hand and Xia De held the dagger together, and the dagger was stabbed into Xivi's left chest.

Pink light bloomed under the night sky. The light erupted from 【Thorn of Love】 made Xivi's whole body wrapped in pink light at this moment. The rippling soul power even turned the black sea surface into light pink, and in that halo, the phantom of the mermaid disappeared silently.
