Although it was foggy, the face that combined the facial features of all the beautiful girls Xia De knew was not affected by the fog at all. Xia De could clearly see every detail on that face.
Desire opened her white palm, revealing the black flake. The contrast between white and black was quite obvious at this moment, but she unexpectedly did not crush the flake to destroy it, but put it on the water and let it float in the direction of Shade, her purple eyes still looking at him:
"Little boys are always curious about all kinds of things. Since you really want to know, I'll let you know something. I've always been very good to you."
The black flake floated quietly to the shore, and then suddenly sank into the water. A gurgling sound came from under the water along with the light. Shade thought suspiciously for a moment, then took another step toward the shore, letting the lake water wet his boots, and then looked down at the scene in the water.
Desire must have processed that thin sheet, so Shad knew that what he saw was not the whole story, or even necessarily the real story.
The woman's head looked at him with a smile, and he looked at the two pink lights in the picture on the water surface.
The ambiguous pink color has the ability to make people feel happy and excited. The two rays of light seemed to be chasing and colliding with each other. After waiting for a while, Shade saw one ray of light fly into the sky and the other ray of light fall to the ground.
The light that flew high into the sky was stained with brilliant golden light, while the light that fell to the ground was stained with a dark luster. The two went their separate ways, but maintained a connection.
The scene stopped abruptly, and the smile on Desire's face grew wider. Shad's eyes, like some kind of mechanical device, slowly moved from the water surface to Desire, and then reached into his pocket and took out the Holy Emblem of Cupid that he had just put away.
He stared at the red holy emblem, and then moved towards the "desire" in the water again:
"you... ... "
"Do you really want to say it?"
She said gently, with her palm resting on the side of her face, her head tilted slightly, and her hoarse voice had a soul-stirring tremor:
"Can you tell the difference between love and desire?"
His teeth bit his lips, and as he spoke these words, there was a pitying expression on his wet cheek.
Xia De was speechless for a moment, staring at her in a trance. This was a very dangerous move, even if he was concentrating, he shouldn't stare at her for a long time.
But "she" did not remind Xia De, nor did she disturb Xia De's thoughts. The beautiful woman's head in the water passed Xia De again and looked at the back behind him.
The laughter came from the water surface. To Shade, it was just another attempt by "desire" to seduce him. But Megan and Audrey, who were wearing earplugs but heard the sound, were instantly seduced. The body and soul lost in emotion and desire quickly turned around and looked at Shade under the power of the Level 0 Relic.
But before she could take a step, the "chains of sin" that had appeared under their feet at some point bound her tightly.
Since Xia De brought Megan to see Desire, he naturally thought of various possibilities:
"This matter has nothing to do with them."
He still had his back to the brown-haired girl and spoke to the head in the water. The woman smiled gently and looked up at Shade from the water:
"It's just that I saw this rare twin soul, and I couldn't help but want to meet her. She is much more interesting than the ignorant girl and the charred wood who accompanied you the last two times. Do you like her very much? Oh, no need to answer, I can see the answer from your eyes."
Eyes very similar to Luvia's were staring at Shade, and Shade's inner restlessness became more obvious, so he had to look away temporarily. Megan behind him did not make any other moves, as if "desire" was really just playing a joke on Shade.
"Let's play games, just like we used to."
The head in the water suddenly suggested, and Xia De shook his head alertly:
"I won't bet on anyone other than myself."
"But I'm not negotiating with you."
She said with a smile, and retracted her arms back into the water, leaving only her head above the neck still above the water.
His chin was soaked by water, and his long black hair stuck to his fair skin until it entered the water. For some reason, Xia De suddenly felt a strange sense of violence in his heart. He wanted to jump into the water and use his teeth to tear the beautiful fair female body that must exist in the water under his head, and defeat her gentle appearance in her pain, moaning and pleasure.
"Little Mia, Yin Luna; Yin Luna, Little Mia."
The moment he realized something was wrong, Xia De silently recited the symbols that represented purity in his heart, trying to dispel those bad thoughts. The cat jumping around, and Yin Luna suddenly turning back and smiling at him in the sunshine of Saint Teresa Square gradually calmed him down, but he knew it was only temporary.
"I told you very important information, so why can't you satisfy my needs?"
The voice in the water continued to ask in a hoarse but gentle voice:
"I'm helping you. Haven't you noticed that every time we play a game, it always ends up in your favor?"
But it is also quite dangerous every time.
Xia De took a deep breath:
"What do you want me to do this time? Look for some strange spirit, or do you want me to perform for you again?"
"No, no, it's very simple, simpler than before. Under the eclipse tonight, on the lake..."
The woman's smile grew even wider, and the lust and love in her eyes almost overwhelmed Xia De:
"Kiss the girl behind you."
The voice was not only gentle, but now it even had a sweet feeling.
Xia De was startled, and then his expression suddenly changed:
"I said that I would not let what happened between us involve anyone else."
"I'm not going to do anything to her. I just want to see you kiss her."
The woman spoke softly. Her speech was very slow, and her voice seemed to become a physical entity, caressing Shade's cheek:
"Just a kiss. We don't even need to be in the fog of this island. Just think about it. Under the eclipse, a beautiful witch is kissed by a handsome knight on the lake. How romantic it is."
The corners of her mouth curled up in a perfect arc, which was clearly Tifa's signature move.
Purple eyes looked at Shade with tenderness:
"In return, I will tell you how to cure the hidden disease of the girl behind you. I can intimidate the guys on the island at a suitable time tonight. Even... what do you want to do by looking for the believers of the God of Love?"
Even though he knew that doing as the other party asked would only lead him step by step into the abyss of desire, Xia De was still tempted.
He risked using the small piece here to try to make the thirteen-ring fortune teller on the island conflict with "desire". But now the fortune teller has not made any move, and it is not known whether he is really unable to pay attention to all the movements on the island at all times, or is too scared to come out. Even without this factor, the other trading conditions are quite tempting.
After thinking for a moment, he already had the idea of agreeing:
"Meghan and Audrey..."
"I promise I won't do anything to them."
The black eyebrows, the same color as the hair, move slightly with the perfect expression on the face:
"Also, you can ask for my painting and hang it in your home."
Seeing that Xia De was about to refuse again, she bit her lip and her eyelashes trembled slightly:
"Don't worry, my paintings will have no special effects once they enter your home. If you don't believe me, you can try it. I just want you to remember me at all times."
Xia De had nothing to say. The most important thing now was to get rid of the "desire". He already felt that he was losing control. This was certainly not the loss of control of the soul, but the loss of control of the body. Obviously, although the divinity could help him suppress the abnormality of the soul, the first fire did not have the ability to reduce the desire of the body.
"So, I just need to kiss Megan and Audrey during the lunar eclipse, right?"
"Yes, any stage of the lunar eclipse will do. I'm looking forward to it."
Ripples appeared on the water surface again, because her head was moving backwards little by little, and her head was slowly sinking as it moved backwards:
"See you tonight, interesting soul."
As the last hoarse voice disappeared, the beautiful head was completely immersed in the water. Then, a huge shadow passed under the misty lake and swam deeper into the lake. The shape of the giant-sized shadow was clearly a complete mermaid.
"oh."
Xia De closed his eyes and sighed at the lake. When the faint smell of perfume finally dissipated and the fire in his heart seemed to have died down a little, he turned around and ran towards Megan, pulling the chain.
The chain was taken back, and the brown-haired girl felt Shade's hand on her shoulder. She hugged Shade and asked carefully:
"Oh, that really scared me. What was that just now?"
Apart from her faster breathing, she didn't seem to be affected too much. It seemed that "Desire" was playing a joke on Shade instead of targeting her maliciously.
"It's a level 0 relic. Even if I do nothing, it might appear in Green Lake in the near future because of a painting. So I want to try and see if it can conflict with your ancestors. It doesn't matter. It left. Don't think about it, don't listen to it, don't feel it. It's not an enemy, it's a friend."
Xia De tried his best to soften his tone. Megan nodded gently, and her restless spirit gradually calmed down:
"Unknowable-level relic, how many surprises can you give me?"
She felt again that when she hugged Xia De, there was something very hot on his chest. And besides that...
"You're affected, too."
She still put her head on Xia De's shoulder and whispered in his ear. Then, without giving Xia De a chance to refute, she suddenly moved her head away, held Xia De's head and neck with both hands, and kissed him.
