Chapter 4243

The night was already a bit deep; Xia De did not stay at the Fragrant Mansion, and after saying goodbye to Vigo and Angelina, he returned home with Flora.

Because of Iluna's birthday, No. 6 St. Deran Square was very lively tonight; although Luvia had set off for Moon Bay again, Dorothy, Galina, Danister, Amelia, Iluna, Ellie, Winnie, and Tifa were still there.

When Xia De and Flora returned home, the girls and ladies were of course not asleep yet, but Winnie had already arranged rooms for everyone. The three young girls lived in the master bedroom of the No. 2 room next door tonight; Winnie and Tifa had already made the beds for them.

Dorothy, Galina, and Danister were also arranged rooms; of course, they were highly likely not to sleep in those rooms tonight.

Flora didn't care about other things, and she soon started to continue painting that dragon egg. Little Mia had been staying with that egg for the past few days, but the cat seemed not to want to be painted, so it ran away after Flora set up the easel.

But soon it ran back, lying on that egg and refusing to leave no matter what, because the cat heard Xia De mention that he was going to wash the cat recently, and Little Mia didn't like taking a bath.

Because it was relatively late when they arrived here tonight, so when everyone went back to rest one after another after ten o'clock, Flora's painting was still continuing. Danister, wearing pajamas, wanted to persuade Flora to go back first tonight and come again tomorrow night, but Flora refused without looking back while holding the paintbrush:

"I was also invited to attend the banquet tomorrow night; I probably won't have time to come and paint this picture again, so I want to seize the inspiration generated today. Danister, you don't need to care about me; you go to rest; after I finish today's work, I will leave quietly. You just pretend I don't exist."

Danister was of course not worried about the health problems caused by Flora staying up late to paint; the artist had a "previous record," and Danister didn't want Flora to appear so close when she was active at night; one such oil painting was enough.

So she persuaded her repeatedly, and finally even Galina, who was worried about being disturbed in "good things," came forward to persuade Flora to go back first tonight; the artist had to put down the paintbrush with regret:

"In this way, I have to come again on Sunday... Galina, you actually don't need to worry about me discovering your secret. I've long known what you and Xia De did."

The Duchess was a bit surprised, but thinking about it carefully, the slightly sensitive witches should have guessed it. After all, if Xia De lived in a city where other great witches were, Galina wouldn't believe that the colleague closest to Xia De could endure doing nothing.

"Then do you want to stay? If you are shy, we can avoid it tonight."

Galina thought about it and issued an invitation; everyone understood what it meant.

Flora looked at her and shook her head to refuse:

"This kind of ordinary day is not suitable for doing that kind of commemorative thing; you chose a suitable day for yourself, and I want to do the same. Then I'll go; you guys also let Xia De rest early, don't always be like this."

Except for Dorothy, who was standing at the door and blushing, Danister and Galina had normal expressions.

Flora thought that after she left, everyone would run to Xia De's bedroom, but after sending Flora away, Danister and Galina looked at each other, and the latter took the initiative to say:

"Since Winnie also arranged a room for me, I'll go to the side bedroom to rest tonight."

Danister, who had long red hair like Galina, also said:

"There's no need to trouble Winnie tonight; I'll sleep with the teacher and Little Mia; I haven't slept with the teacher for several days, and I miss her very much."

Seeing them say so, Dorothy also wanted to say that she could go to the third floor, but Galina stopped her:

"We can't really let Xia De rest alone; you go to Xia De's place; do whatever you want. Xia De has been troubled by the dream matter these days, and we also hope that someone can watch him at night; at least when he shows abnormalities, someone can discover it in time."

Dorothy then nodded embarrassedly, knowing that Danister and Galina had given the opportunity to her:

"I will watch Xia De well, don't worry... When Luvia left, she hinted to me that Iluna might go to Xia De tonight; in fact, we can give the opportunity to Iluna."

Galina laughed:

"Iluna? I bet that after she plays with Amelia and Ellie for a while and gets tired, she will think in her heart that although Luvia gave her a hint, since it's already so late, she'd better muster the courage next time. I know Iluna too well; Dorothy, she won't go to Xia De tonight."

Facts also proved that Galina was right; the nineteen-year-old girl clearly thought about Luvia's hint before entering the bedroom, but after she played enough pillow fights with Amelia and Ellie and found that it was already eleven o'clock at night, Iluna had to accept the self-comfort that it was too late and she shouldn't go out.

Luvia also just sighed afterwards that young girls need more courage.

Tonight belonged to Dorothy, but the writer didn't do too much with Xia De; after eating a late-night snack with Leisia, she accumulated materials for making 【Star Dew】 and went to sleep with Xia De. Xia De also thought he would continue to have strange dreams tonight, but after falling asleep holding Dorothy, he spent a rare dreamless night and slept until the next morning.

The biological clock cultivated by Little Mia made him open his eyes at 6:30 on time; looking at the ceiling, he realized that the time had come to Saturday.

"Xia De, are you awake?"

The girl in his arms murmured, but her eyes hadn't opened yet, so Xia De kissed Dorothy's forehead:

"Today is Saturday; you can sleep a little longer; breakfast won't be until 7:30."

The reason why breakfast is at 7:30 today is of course because except for Xia De, Little Mia, and the hardworking maid, no one wants to get up at 6:30; the girls actually find it hard to understand why Xia De wants to follow Little Mia's biological clock, and the Outsider just thinks getting up on time is a good thing.

Today is Saturday; because he still needs to go to the doctor's for a meeting in the afternoon, Xia De went to Arcadia City for a turn after breakfast as usual.

His original intention was that if there was nothing going on there today, he would leave directly. But when Xia De arrived at the Fragrant Mansion, he saw that Vigo and Flora both had anxious expressions:

"Xia De, you came just in time. Sleeping sickness has appeared, right in this mansion."

Xia De was shocked:

"Who didn't wake up? Eve or Angelina?"

Eve's heart had a mechanization problem, and Angelina had been deceived by "Mother," so Xia De asked this.

But Flora answered anxiously:

"It's not them, it's Charlotte."

Miss Charlotte Bell's level is higher than Angelina and Eve; she is even preparing to advance to the seventh ring. This should be the highest-level sorcerer everyone has encountered who has encountered "sleeping sickness" besides Xia De himself, but Flora, as a teacher, is actually not surprised:

"Charlotte's soul is more sensitive than normal sorcerers; this doesn't mean that her perception is more powerful, but that she can more delicately feel the changes in soul and elements. This is considered a positive talent most of the time, but it also makes her more susceptible to attacks at the level of soul, spirit, memory, and dream."

Miss Bell had "died" when she was born, and although she survived later, she also possessed a very strange talent because of this; Flora even said that she thought her apprentice's talent in death was stronger than her own.

However, these things could not make Miss Bell wake up now; it was Miss Rolin who discovered that she didn't get up on time this morning, and then everyone noticed that she had fallen into "sleeping sickness."

Vigo had actually distributed potions to everyone for prevention, but it seemed that the effect of the potions was not good, and no one expected that Miss Bell would be the first person affected by that dream; she hadn't even been to the Outer City recently.

Flora knew that Xia De must have a way, so she pulled him to Miss Bell's room. The girl lay quietly on the bed asleep; because her face was pale, she looked very much like the Sleeping Beauty in the story.

Xia De placed his hand on Miss Bell's forehead to sense it, and then he nodded:

"No problem, the time she fell into sleeping sickness is not long; I should be able to wake her up."

"Do you need to set up a dream-entering ritual now?"

Vigo asked, and she had already been preparing before Xia De came.

Xia De shook his head:

"No need to be so troublesome; although that dream curse is powerful, it is not aimed at Miss Bell alone, plus the time she was affected is very short, and the connection with that dream is not particularly strong now. Entering the dream is not needed; I have other means."

Xia De stretched out his right hand and pointed his fingertips at his chest, rotating clockwise:

"Key of Door: Sleeping Princess."

Then he stood by the bed and leaned over, gently kissing the sleeping girl. And at the moment of that kiss, the room seemed to have become the princess's bedroom in an ancient palace, and the Miss Bell lying on the bed was not wearing thin pajamas, but a gorgeous long dress.

The two witches and the other girls in the room looked around curiously, but as Xia De straightened his waist after a moment, the brief illusion disappeared.

"Fairy Tale Maze; it's really amazing. The plot of that fairy tale is indeed using a kiss to wake up the cursed girl."

Amidst Vigo's exclamation, Miss Bell's eyelashes trembled a few times, and then she opened her eyes blankly. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief; Flora didn't care at all that Xia De kissed her apprentice, she just asked with concern:

"Charlotte, how do you feel now?"

Seeing the girl on the bed wanting to sit up, Xia De helped her up, and Miss Bell calmed down for a while before saying:

"Teacher, I feel like I had a very long dream. I feel a bit dizzy now, but it should be because I slept for too long; I'm fine."
