Chapter 3124: Spider Weaving a Web
As expected, the witches were already waiting for him here—
Carina stood near the edge of the hot spring water, with her arms folded together on the shore, her chin resting on her arms, and she was the first to see Shade. Her long red hair was tied behind her head, and she looked more beautiful than usual when she smiled in the hot spring.
Next to Carina, Vanessa was sitting on the shore in a white bathrobe, her back facing Shad, her left hand resting on the smooth stone slab at the edge of the hot spring, her right hand holding a wine glass in front of her, and her legs extended into the hot spring.
Her long golden hair was wrapped in a towel and tied up behind her head, and she looked like she had just finished a shower. When she heard footsteps, she turned her head and looked at Xia De, and this movement caused her bathrobe to slide down a distance, revealing her snow-white back that seemed to be glowing.
"Shad, you're so slow."
A beautiful female head popped out from the center of the hot spring, but of course it was not a mermaid, but Miss Edwards.
Megan's brown hair was not tied up, but left flat on the hot spring water. Then two smooth arms came out from behind Megan and hugged her neck. Audrey came out from under Megan's hair, and the two identical wet faces leaned together, smiling and greeting Shade.
They were in the center of the hot spring, where the hot mist was even denser. Therefore, the sisters' faces looked very hazy and dreamy to Xia De, which made him even more excited.
The silver curtains around the hot springs had been removed, and instead a few screens were scattered on the cobblestone ground. There were trays filled with fruit, red wine, and glasses near the shore, and their clothes were neatly hung on the vertical hangers behind the screens.
"The night is long and I have no desire to sleep. Knight, won't you come over?"
Karina, who was in the water by the pool, reached out and grabbed the strand of red hair that was not tied up by her ear. She gently rubbed her cheek with the end of the hair while looking at Xia De and speaking in a nonchalant tone.
"Yeah, Shade, do you want to play in the water together?"
Sitting on the shore, Vanessa kicked the water with her feet, twisting her waist and turning to look at Shade. After a slight smile, the half-liquidated ruby-like red wine left in the tall glass in her right hand stained her white bathrobe as the glass tilted slightly in front of her.
The red lips are raised, more gorgeous than the color of the falling red wine; the eyes are smiling, but what is more attractive is the beauty in them.
As for Megan and Audrey, Audrey behind her gently kissed her sister's cheek and stretched out her mouth to wipe a drop of water off her cheek. During this process, the two sisters kept looking at each other, and after the action, both pairs of eyes looked straight at Xia De outside the hot spring.
The Miss Edwardses said nothing, and yet it seemed as though they had said everything.
Xia De pursed his lips and took a deep breath. The mist entering his lungs brought a different feeling:
"I don't know if Luvia has explained to you that Britney's promotion has nothing to do with this place."
"Shad, are you really going to say something that's unromantic?"
Karina asked with a smile, her chin still resting on her left arm resting on the edge of the pool:
"Let's celebrate the successful conclusion of the Battle of Vista Grove in our own way."
Vanessa, Megan and Audrey all laughed. Amid the warm mist, the scene happening in the forest under the moon felt like a horror story.
Shade then walked towards them, and the smile on the red-haired witch's face became more and more wild. The witches' hair grew rapidly under control, and the long red, brown and golden hair crawled towards Shade from the hot spring, helping him to get rid of the clothes that were in the way.
On the treetops covered with snow, the beautiful spiders caught the prey that had fallen into their trap, and then they stepped on the spider web woven with love to play with it and share it. But after a series of games, the prey subdued the beautiful spiders - and then, it was a mutual feeding process.
(Owl painting.)
"Is it effective?"
On Wednesday morning, Luvia and Dorothy got up early, washed up, and went to the deck to greet the four people who had returned, regardless of the chilly winter wind.
It's not accurate to say there were four people, because Tifa and the maids from the Northern Kingdom had set off for the Moon Sanctuary earlier than them. At this time, everyone came to the dock to board the ship. The hull of the Shining Emissary blocked the prying eyes of other ships, so the appearance of the girls wearing black and white maid dresses in the cold wind would not attract other people's attention.
Carina was wearing a white fluffy cape that perfectly matched her status, and the buttons of the cape were even made of gemstones; Vanessa and Megan walked side by side, and their dresses were also changed into thick winter styles, and they had two identical scarves tied around their necks.
The witches all looked very healthy, and they exuded a temperament like ripe peaches. Luvia and Dorothy certainly understood what that meant.
It is also easy to find Shade among the ladies. After all, just find the one wearing a black coat and with a cat.
"Meow!"
Mia, who was brought to the hot spring by Tifa, was standing on Shad's shoulder, tilting her head to look at the sun radiating light towards the forest and the ice on the lake. The cat looked very energetic bathing in the morning sun.
"See, I told you not to worry about Shad."
Luvia then said to Dorothy, who was wearing a brown scarf, and the writer was a little relieved:
"It's because of Lecia's scare. She said that the witches would not mind completely sucking up Shade and squeezing a fresh grape into raisins in order to achieve the demigod realm."
A refined female writer cannot say anything too vulgar:
"Although I know Shade is very powerful, I can also see that Jialina and the others are a little different this time."
"Our knights can even deal with demigods, so what are these three witches?"
Luvia, on the other hand, did not mind at all, and joined Dorothy in meeting the returning party.
After doing this, Shad was a little embarrassed to be greeted by Luvia and Dorothy when he returned to his "home". But the girls didn't wake up so early just to visit him:
"Is it effective?"
The purple-eyed fortune teller asked the three great witches, and the only thirteenth-level Vanessa shook her head regretfully:
"No."
The red-haired Duchess stood on the deck, basking in the morning sunshine, and said with a refreshed look:
"Who said it has no effect? At least I'm in a good mood now. The base near the hot springs can actually start work right now. It's a really nice place. Also, I will never shake hands with Megan or Audrey again."
"Galina, you asked to see if I could use my palm."
Megan wanted to refute, but was interrupted by Shade:
"Cough cough."
Although he didn't sleep for a long time last night, he wasn't very sleepy. Vanessa was right. The hot spring was not a sufficient condition to trigger the "Witch's Joy". However, the recovery of his spirit and physical strength in the Moon Sanctuary was better than a deep sleep, so it was actually a quick rest area for him.
"I've already said that Britney's promotion has nothing to do with this matter, but it's okay to give it a try. At least you can feel at ease."
The witches then pushed Shade forward:
"I know, I know. You worked really hard last night. But who told you to provoke us? But don't complain. You had a very energetic morning exercise with us just before you came back. Let's go to the banquet hall for breakfast. We still have a lot of things to deal with today."
So Luvia and Dorothy followed Shad to the cabin, one on each side, and the other witches followed behind the three of them.
"Did Tifa tell you? The elves sent a letter last night, wanting to meet you in front of the Crystal Throne today."
Luvia asked again. Tifa had indeed told Shade:
"They probably also tried to convince me to become the Elf King. Galina said it was actually a good idea, but I really have no interest in it."
"I just praised the idea, but I didn't say you must go."
The Duchess behind her argued for herself, and Dorothy suggested:
"Lecia and I both think that even if you don't want to be king in Emilia's place, you should still meet with those elves and talk it out."
"Yes, otherwise they will definitely chase me. I will ask the Council to reply to the elves later. After helping the church seal the tree hole today, I can talk to them in front of the Crystal Throne.
Elf King, I am not interested in taking on such a heavy responsibility, and look, do I look like an elf at all? "
When he entered the cabin, he asked everyone, and Megan smiled:
"It's right to ask us this question. After all, we are the ones who 'know' you best. You certainly don't have elf features. We all think you are more like a succubus than an elf."
"And he proved that to all of us again last night."
Vanessa added that the joke about Shade being a "succubus" never seems to get old, and the family all laughed.
The door of the cabin was closed by the maids, locking the cold winter out. The warmth of home is always so intoxicating, and Shade can almost smell the fragrance from the kitchen.
Because Granny Cassandra and her group were leaving today, this breakfast was also a farewell for them. However, Granny Cassandra did not return directly to Midhill Castle. It happened to be the end of the year, and she planned to take Miss Swift to central and western Carsonrick to inspect the business conditions of Cassandra Auction Houses in various places.
Or checking the accounts.
Although it was a mystery how long Grace and Helen could leave Mount Xikar, they were still restricted by the mountain. Therefore, the two sisters would not follow the old witch to travel around, but planned to return directly to Mount Xikar.
During their absence, the seal of the Edge of Life and Death might have been affected by the time anomaly that affected the entire material world. Even if the seal of the Kiss of the Tree did not appear to be faulty in Shade's perception, powerful evil spirits might have escaped into the world of the living through the accidental cracks.
