The night was still not over. In the reeds beside Green Lake, Shade and Megan suddenly appeared. They quickly looked around and were relieved after confirming that there were no people from the church nearby.
Megan did not let go of Shade's hand, but hugged him tightly. The two stood in the depths of the reeds and hugged each other silently. It took a long time for Megan to let go of Shade.
She looked into Shade's eyes, took two steps back, and then turned around. First, her coat was taken off, and then with a rustling sound, she unbuttoned her white shirt.
"Wait, what are you going to do?"
Xia De said hurriedly, and at the same time cast an illusion to cover the nearby area. The "divine overflow" state has not yet ended. The red butterfly illusion and the moon shadow illusion are superimposed, and no one can see through here.
The brown-haired lady ignored Shade. She finally unbuttoned all the buttons, but did not take off her clothes completely. Instead, she turned her head to look at Shade, then bit her red lips and let the upper part of her shirt fall down, revealing her snow-white shoulders, the upper part of her white back and the edge of her pink and white chest.
Xia De immediately turned his head to avoid suspicion, but was reminded by "her" beside his ear:
Take a close look.
He then looked at the witch's back and frowned slightly. On the back that was as delicate and smooth as milk and silk, there was actually a scar. This scar should never exist. Great witches have their own characteristics of being "perfect", and every part of their body should be flawless - he had confirmed this with Miss Carina.
If it is a small wound that has not yet healed, it is possible that it exists, but such a large scar should not exist.
Megan didn't say anything, but turned her back to Shade and looked at him. Shade looked at the scar on his perfect skin, and his expression gradually became serious.
The more I looked at the palm-sized scar, the more it looked like a face. Once I had this idea, the face became more three-dimensional and detailed, and then it had more similarities with Megan and Audrey's faces:
"This is..."
"Yes, a parasitic fetus. It's a rare disease with an incidence rate of one in half a million, and is even considered a curse in some backward areas. The fetus is inside the mother's body, and a part of the complete fetus is parasitic on another or several incomplete fetuses. Audrey and I were originally twins, but we absorbed each other in my mother's body."
She continued to look at Xia De sideways:
"At that time, our souls were newly born and we were still confused, so we couldn't tell who absorbed whom. But the baby's soul appeared before the absorption of the physical body, so two souls occupied the same body. Although this made my soul strength and mental power twice or even more than twice that of a normal person even when I was still an ordinary person, it also caused me to suffer from soul pain and mental loss of control for many years."
Although he had guessed a similar reason, Xia De was still quite surprised when he actually saw this scene:
"I can touch..."
"Can't."
Audrey said almost without hesitation, but it was not her who took control of her body again, but the "scar" that made the sound.
Even though he had seen all kinds of strange things, Xia De still couldn't describe his shock at this moment. Megan's sidelong glance was filled with sadness, and the scar on her back slowly disappeared, making her back perfect and flawless again.
She put her clothes back on, turned her head and continued to button her shirt in the reeds with her back to Shade:
"This scar can be transferred to any place, so I have never let anyone except my father, mother and my thirteenth ring friend notice it, but the scar cannot be removed no matter what. Originally, this scar was just a scar and had no other function, but just now you used the power of angels to distinguish us again, and the scar has this ability to speak... It's ugly, right?"
"No, not ugly at all."
Xia De shook his head hurriedly:
"If you don't believe me, you can show it again and let me touch it, and I will prove it."
The brown-haired girl's low voice became better, but she still had her back to Shade:
"You can be so blunt and annoying sometimes... Thank you, thank you for what you have been doing."
"What is the condition of your souls now? Are they completely separated?"
"No, our souls cannot be completely separated. Audrey and I have been one in the womb and before we were born. We came into this world tied to each other, and we are one. As for the current state of our souls and our new powers, I don't want to explain it now. Let's talk about it after we go back..."
She paused for a moment, then said softly:
"I have fastened all the buttons. The reason why I am facing away from you is that I hope you can hug me from behind. Do you need me to invite you?"
"Oh, sorry."
Xia De finally reacted, took two steps forward, and hugged the girl in the white shirt from behind. The two warm bodies hugged each other, as if to put an end to this dangerous night.
The sky was still black, and the lunar eclipse would last for a while. The hug only lasted a short time, and Shade let go of Megan. The sorceress turned to look at him in confusion, only to see Shade said carefully:
"I sensed my teacher coming. I need to dispel the illusion and see her. Hiding all the time won't work."
"Your teacher?"
Because Miss Danister and Shade hadn't spoken to each other just now, Megan and Audrey had no idea why the rumored "Red Moon Witch" came here.
"I just used the alchemical item she gave me. I definitely can't just pretend nothing happened."
"Well, I didn't expect that I would meet your teacher first."
Xia De then temporarily canceled the illusion. Megan's heart skipped a beat, and she realized that since Xia De had no parents or relatives, his teacher should be his closest elder. She subconsciously wanted to dodge, but Xia De grabbed her wrist:
"Just stand behind me and don't say anything. Don't worry, she's not a bad person."
"In fact, I hope you can use better words than 'not a bad person' when evaluating me."
The faint sound of high heels stepping on the water was drowned out by the voice of Miss Danister.
Shade and Megan looked towards the source of the sound, and saw a tall woman with dark red hair, wearing a black dress and blue high heels, walking towards the side of Green Lake from the reeds. After passing through the reeds, Miss Danister looked at the brown-haired girl behind Shade in confusion, and then looked at the coat she was holding in her hands and the buttons of her shirt that were obviously fastened in a hurry:
"you... ... "
He smiled and teased Xia De:
"Am I disturbing you?"
Megan looked at the sorceress in front of her in shock, and her whole body subconsciously shrank behind Shade. Of course she recognized who this person was.
"No, I was just healing her."
Shade explained, then blinked:
"For some reason, Miss Danister, please do not say my name for now."
The red-haired sorceress raised her eyebrows slightly:
"You haven't told the girl behind you who you are. My student, I thought the appearance of a new high-level sorceress behind you was enough to surprise me, but I didn't expect you to even hide your identity from her."
Shad heard that Miss Danister was criticizing his private life:
"Well... tell her on Friday."
Then he thanked her earnestly:
"Miss Danister, the book you gave me was a real help. Thank you so much for flying straight from St. Byrons to help me."
"It's nothing. You are my only student. Besides, you have to face this situation because of me."
She waved her hand nonchalantly:
"In fact, I arrived very early. Yes, I arrived when you were holding up the sun and the moon and fighting with the Hidden Mirror Man. But the guys on the island in the middle of Green Lake released some troublesome things to stop us. I, a witch from the Witch Council, a team from the church, and fortune tellers from the Prophecy Association were delayed in a village near the lake... I think you performed very well."
Xia De just used her power, so she couldn't hide it even if she wanted to:
"Miss Danister, you are so powerful. In addition, I met an angel some time ago, and the angel gave me his blessing. Otherwise, I would never have been able to defeat the Hidden Mirror Man by myself. Oh, the huge moonlight halo I threw at the end was also thanks to the angel's blessing. Praise the angel!"
Megan held onto Shad's clothes on the back tightly as she listened to his nonsense, worried that he would be disliked by his teacher.
The college librarian showed a half-smile:
"Angel... But your last attack was indeed beautiful. Very beautiful. I look forward to the day when you can repeat the spell on your own."
The corners of her mouth slightly raised as she looked at Xia De's face. For some reason, she felt that his face became more charming:
"Also, the magic you just cast - Red Moon Falling - is the theoretical limit of that item, which means it is almost exactly the same as the power of my own spellcasting. I really don't know whether I should praise you for being too adapted to the power of the moon, or praise you for not panicking in the face of danger and being able to cast spells calmly in any situation."
As for the sun that appeared with the red moon, although it came from Yin Luna's magic, the Church of the Sun has too many similar magics of throwing large balls of light, so it will not arouse suspicion.
"You taught me well."
"Don't praise me. I haven't taught you much... Let the girl behind you put on her coat. I see she is shivering."
Miss Danister suggested kindly, but Megan was actually trembling because she was afraid of her. You know, not long ago, Megan and Audrey were wanted criminals by the church and the college.
Shade nodded slightly, turned around and put on Megan's coat, but in fact Megan didn't have to worry about being exposed. During the period when Megan's soul dominated her body, even Shade had to be within 1m to detect the witch's identity, let alone other people.
