Chapter 4138: Afternoon Nap
The blonde Dorothy blushed, clearly understanding Luvia's meaning. Leixia thought Luvia's suggestion was very valuable, so she also nodded in agreement. And those witches who either had an intimate relationship with Xia De or were waiting for a better opportunity laughed together.
Even the young Danister, who had been feeling a bit depressed just now, showed a smile:
"Luvia's suggestion is excellent. Xia De, what will you do?"
The Outsider also blushed, and that was definitely not the embarrassment after his secret was exposed:
"I certainly wouldn't do that. Why would you think of me like that... If not on the bedside, then can I put it on the bookshelf in the study?"
"That's no problem."
Luvia nodded, but Leixia reminded again:
"But sometimes, you also need to cover the doll with a handkerchief. After all, in the study, there will also be..."
"Leixia!"
Dorothy stopped Leixia's idea of continuing to speak in shame and anger. The girls and ladies laughed even more happily.
Tifa quite agreed with Leixia's view. Ellie didn't quite understand what everyone was laughing at, and was still eating apples and enjoying the sun under the tree shadow. As for Yiluna, she actually didn't want to be seen by others when kissing Xia De, so she also thought Leixia was right.
Miss Feilian's doll was not put away by Xia De, but was placed on the picnic blanket. When the sun shone on that exquisite doll, Xia De felt that it might move in the next second.
Of course, this was just an illusion.
Time approached noon. After a major event ended, the pleasant picnic time began. Although the picnic here was not included in the original plan, the park was not far from the Fragrant Mansion, so transporting supplies was not troublesome.
Even not long after Miss Feilian "left," Bella, Flora, Siris, and Angelina who were guarding the Fragrant Mansion all came.
The little princess sat with Yiluna and Ellie. After hearing that the 【Skin-Object Hall】 had been perfectly contained, Angelina, who was very afraid of this kind of relic, let out a long sigh of relief.
Bella was very satisfied that her and Luvia's divination had played a great role. Flora's eyes lit up when she heard Vigo say that Xia De now also possessed a unicorn form, but she didn't communicate with Xia De about the transformation experience immediately.
The girls could see that Xia De was very tired. After accompanying Vigo to the Charming Ladies' Club last night, he broke into the 【Skin-Object Hall】 this morning and saw so many disgusting things. He even went to the Fifth Era to meet a god in the middle, and then went through the experience of death and life hidden in a coffin, which made the girls sigh again and again.
So they didn't talk to Xia De about the previous things. Everyone happily had a picnic, and Xia De also raised apple juice with Angelina and Ellie, and clinked glasses with the girls who were drinking wine and black tea.
As for what happened afterward, Xia De didn't remember very clearly.
He only remembered tasting the apple pie Ellie stuffed into his hand, and then Angelina listened in surprise as Ellie, with a serious face, said that Xia De was a little unicorn, so she wanted to protect him.
Subsequently, Little Mia darted out, snatched half of the apple pie in Xia De's hand, and the maid ladies who liked this beautiful cat very much took out a large pile of snacks to feed it.
The cat ran around in the tree shadow. Probably because of the spring, it was unusually lively today.
The witches were either drinking tea, chatting, or just looking at the scenery. Yiluna tried hard to pretend that she was very mature, chatting with Miss Jia Lin Na about topics related to balance. Young Danister and Luvia were talking about dragon eggs, while Dorothy and Leixia were holding hands, sitting beside Xia De.
The spring wind was really too warm. After lunch, the sound of the tree canopy being blown by the wind was also too hypnotic. Xia De was originally watching Little Mia jumping around, and unknowingly he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep. There were no dreams, only a carefree sleep in the spring day.
And when Xia De's consciousness gradually regained clarity, he felt that he was pillowing on a very soft object, and could also smell a very familiar perfume:
"Leixia?"
He opened his eyes and found that he was pillowing on Leixia's legs. At this time, the sun was still very good, but it looked like it was this afternoon.
There was still spring sun in the gaps of the tree shadow above his head. Xia De, who was a bit sleepy, could feel that a certain cat was probably leaning beside him and also taking an afternoon nap.
"Don't want to sleep a little longer?"
Leixia asked very gently, gently brushing Xia De's hair with her hand. And when Xia De sat up, he found that only Leixia, Ellie, Angelina, Claire, and Flora were left on the picnic blanket.
Winnie and Miss Eilesser were chatting under the tree, and the witches, Luvia, and Dorothy were gone.
Xia De suddenly realized something very important:
"Oh no! Today is Saturday! There is a meeting in the afternoon."
He wanted to stand up, but was pressed back by Leixia:
"It's okay, Dorothy and Luvia have already returned to Tobesk for the meeting. They will help you ask for leave, and the doctor will understand. It's only two-thirty in the afternoon now. Do you want to continue sleeping for a while?"
She patted her legs covered by a red dress:
"I can continue to let you pillow. Or, others should also be very happy to serve you."
Leixia scanned the surroundings, and then asked with a smile:
"How about Ellie?"
The unicorn girl was just playing a string game with Angelina. Hearing Leixia's suggestion, while maintaining the star pattern for Angelina to flip, she nodded quickly:
"I can!"
Leixia originally thought that according to Xia De's personality, he would ask to end the short rest to deal with other things. But after Xia De shook his head and refused Ellie, he touched Little Mia, who was sleeping sweetly beside him.
He and Leixia stayed in the tree shadow, while the cat that liked to bask in the sun was mostly exposed to the sun.
"Alright, then sleep for a while longer."
He kissed Leixia's side face, then pillowing on Leixia's legs again, and soon fell asleep again.
Leixia was a bit surprised, but more pleasantly surprised:
"Sleep, sleep."
She whispered. Claire and Flora, who were looking here, then withdrew their gazes and continued to chat about the plan to support Vigo in the future. Xia De looked really tired. The weather was so good today, and the girls all knew that Xia De deserved such a rest.
But Xia De's afternoon nap didn't last until evening. Almost at the same time the cat woke up at three-thirty, Xia De also opened his eyes again.
The cat stood up lazily but elegantly, stuck its butt up and stretched, then happily "meowed" at Xia De, and walked toward the picnic basket beside Ellie and Angelina to find something to eat.
After Xia De was helped to sit up by Leixia, he first let out a long breath, and then sat there cross-legged with great energy, looking at the shimmering artificial lake in the sun not far away.
Leixia thought Xia De would express some feelings, but didn't expect him to say suddenly:
"Leixia, you smell so good."
Even the usually bold Princess Highness blushed at this moment:
"What are you saying?"
She complained softly, but Dorothy, far away in Tobesk, knew that Leixia was almost laughing in her heart.
"It's getting late, get ready to go back."
Xia De, whose head had regained clarity, said again, and then asked Flora and Claire:
"Is everyone still going to eat at Vigo's place tonight?"
"Yes, and Sylvia and Audrey, who couldn't come today, will also rush over. Vigo and the others are dealing with the aftermath. You can actually continue to rest for a while."
Claire advised. The witch lady with platinum hair from under the snow mountain knew Xia De's exhaustion:
"Vigo said before she left that we can return to the Fragrant Mansion in the evening."
Xia De shook his head:
"Even Little Mia has woken up from her afternoon nap, and I can't continue to be lazy. Let's go, Ellie, Angelina, let's go back together."
"Go back!"
Ellie immediately held Xia De's hand. Angelina looked at the little unicorn who had happily played the string game with her for an afternoon, and a strong sense of crisis suddenly appeared in her heart:
"Alright, even you..."
The little princess felt she had misjudged the person.
Yiluna had a mission in the Tobesk diocese, but she would return with Miss Jia Lin Na tonight to attend the banquet. The suitcase Yiluna found in the 【Skin-Object Hall】 and the scissors "Desire" gave to Xia De had now been brought back to the Fragrant Mansion by Vigo, waiting for Xia De to return and check.
And Vigo left in advance without waiting for the napping Xia De to wake up. On the one hand, it was to create an alibi for herself not being in the park this morning, and on the other hand, it was of course for her sister, Aurora Leme.
The solution that was originally placed in the 【Skin-Object Hall】 by Peggy Leme was divided into two parts by the Skinners. Vigo was very worried that this would cause her sister to fail to return successfully, so she reluctantly gave up the good opportunity to spend the afternoon with Xia De.
And when Xia De's group returned to the Fragrant Mansion in the afternoon, Vigo was still in the alchemy laboratory in the basement determining the situation of the two solutions.
Although she hadn't mastered the technology of converting flesh and blood and soul into liquid, with the help of means such as the "Life Detector" and Bella's help, she could also test whether the solution still possessed activity and whether it was contaminated.
"Back?"
Shivi welcomed the group returning from the park in the foyer:
"Vigo probably still has to be busy in the basement for a while. You can go see her in a while. But before that, I have something to tell you about the 【Skin-Object Hall】. Danister has sent news that the relic is now very stable."
The crystal ball made by Miss Feilian in the Fifth Era was the key to being able to completely contain the 【Skin-Object Hall】, otherwise, even if Xia De used the maze and Principal Pigman used the sublimation language, at most it would only seal the 【Skin-Object Hall】 in that artificial lake. ===== CHAPTER 4139 =====
