When Shade closed his eyes, the edge of life and death became calm again. Thick fog quickly filled every space, and ghosts emerged from every corner.
Heavy fog enveloped the boat going down the river, but Shade did not realize that even if he was not driving it, his current status still gave the boat the ability to "penetrate time and space" for a short time.
The boat in the fog seemed to become increasingly blurry, and as rustling sounds came from the boat, the surface of the river where Shade was soaked began to freeze.
(Little Mia is running.)
This time's "sleep" was a little too fast, so when Shade felt a little cold, it even took him a few seconds to remember what happened before he closed his eyes.
"Is it time to wake up?"
He felt that he was in excellent condition at this time, and all the injuries on his body had healed, and "she" replied with a smile:
[Why don’t we first take a look at where you are now.]
Only then did Xia De feel that there was no liquid around his body. Although it was a little cold, he seemed to be hugged by someone.
So he opened his eyes, and saw big golden eyes looking at him with a smile, and behind the messy silver hair were the mountains and the heavy snow in the sky.
He was still on his boat, surrounded by a large lake that was as calm as a mirror. Some figures seemed to be shaking around the lake. Snowflakes were falling, and a layer of snow had accumulated elsewhere on the boat, and he and Chloe were covered in snow.
But there was no snow at all.
"I slept through the winter?"
After this stupid idea appeared, Xia De said in surprise:
"Chloe?"
The demigod witch who lived in the early fifth era smiled and tapped Shade's eyebrows with her finger. The coolness for a moment made him completely awake, and then he realized that he was half-lying on the witch's lap and being hugged by her.
.
He hurriedly sat up, and Qiu Shu told Shade that the time at this time was still 1854 in the Sixth Age, but at a certain moment it seemed like it was the Fifth Age again.
The short silver-haired witch saw the confusion on Shade's face. She reached out and gently hugged Shade, who was looking around, again. Shade felt herself calm down and reached out to hug her.
Regardless of whether the surroundings are false, at least she is real:
"Long time no see, Chloe."
Since Miss Feliana and the others were able to find her across time, it is not surprising that Chloe could also be found.
"Long time no see, Shade, it seems like you've been having a bad time lately."
His injuries have healed, probably because the demigod witch helped with the treatment, but the clothes on his body have not recovered.
Due to her height, Chloe's head was actually on his neck when she held him. Therefore, when the witch with chills all over her body approached Shade, her kiss was imprinted on Shade's chest.
The snow-covered lake is like a silver mirror, and there are not many sounds coming from the swirling snow. But unlike the equally quiet edge of life and death, where there is deathly silence, here it is peaceful and reassuring.
"When I saw your boat carrying you coming from the fog rising from the lake just now, I couldn't believe that I really succeeded."
Chloe whispered, sniffing the scent of Shade carefully. She had tasted his blood in the snowy mountains, and she knew how charming his blood and body were:
"But it seems that it's not my luck, it's the instability of time and space where you are. Who hurt you? Do you need my help? The current lake is located in the gap of time, both the past and the present.
In the future, if you need it, I can find a way to let part of my power manifest into your time."
Her voice was gentle, with no murderous intent at all. Shade hugged her gently. Among all the girls he knew, only Chloe's hair was silver:
"I have encountered some things, but the enemy is not invincible. I am much stronger now than when I first met you. I can handle it myself. I am really happy to meet again this time."
He said this, and the silver-haired Witch Emperor also hummed softly, and put her face against Shade's body to listen to his heartbeat. Her face was also a little cold, but the coldness was not unpleasant.
:
"This meeting probably won't last too long, but we will meet again, Shade. As long as we succeed the first time, there will be a second time."
Shade then asked:
"Have you contacted Miss Feliana and Miss Violet?"
The Ice Witch nodded slightly:
"We are all looking for you. Even if you hide until the end of time, we will meet you again one day."
"Don't say such terrible things."
Shade touched her head gently, and then remembered another thing:
"I met a god who said that as long as I pay a soul that is completely frozen by the coldness in my heart, he can carry me to your time. Do you know how to do this?"
The silver-haired girl was finally willing to let go of Shade. She sat on the boat with a smile and looked at Shade's face. The boat floated slowly in the snow, with no ripples on the side of the boat. The large lake in the snow was so quiet that it made people even uncomfortable.
Distractions:
"Are you coming to me? To freeze a soul requires not only the temperature of the outside world, but also the sins of the soul itself. Can you find a soul with huge sins?"
"It's very simple. My current opponent is..."
Because it was winter, the long dress she was wearing also had silver fluff on the neckline. When she got closer to Shade, those fluffs gently swept Shade's body.
"Then you still need a materialized sin. Do you have this?"
"I need it. Wait a minute, I really have it!"
Shade used the method given by the doctor to extract two copies of "Cowardice", but only Father Francois's copy was turned into a ship ticket, and the worse quality one was still with him. Counting the time
Even if no use can be found, the sin must be dealt with.
"That's enough. I know that fate is also guiding you to meet me."
She gently kissed the corner of Shade's lips, her lips were also slightly cold:
"Use his own sins to freeze his soul. When the sins are shattered in the ice, the wrapped soul will be completely frozen into unmeltable ice.
This is very simple, you need to blow a chill, let this chill flow through the embodied sin, and then touch the soul. The sin will turn into ice and make him unable to move, and the evil things he has done will make him Get punished."
"So how do I blow the chill away?"
Shade asked again, staring at him with golden eyes, and then Chloe hugged his neck, sat on his lap and kissed him. Although the Ice Witch's lips were cold, she/ But the tou is warm.
But that's not what Shade cared about. He was more concerned about the extremely cold breath that she blew into his mouth as she kissed him.
This chill even made Sha De feel a little unbearable, but fortunately with the movement of the witch's head, the chill was completely restricted in Sha De's mouth.
After the kiss ended, Shade immediately covered his mouth to prevent the coldness from accidentally leaking out. This power was definitely no less than the peak strike of the demigod witch. Shade even suspected that once he opened his mouth to spit out this coldness, it would be enough to kill him. The hot summer turns into the dead of winter.
Chloe's power has undergone qualitative changes compared to when she was in the Silver Mountains. Although demigod witches are not gods after all, in the eyes of ordinary people, they are almost the same as gods.
"Look at you like this. You just covered your mouth, and the cold air is coming out of your ears."
The silver-haired Witch Emperor said with a smile, and Shade wanted to cover his ears again, but immediately realized that she was joking. He whined a few times, and Chloe laughed even happier:
"I know that if there is anyone in the world who can bear my coldness, then that person can only be you."
She leaned on Shade's chest again, letting the boat continue to take the two of them drifting on the snowy lake. People by the lake didn't dare to look here, and the mountains in the vast snowy background seemed to disappear. In the snow:
"There's not enough time, you have to go back, right?"
There was no sadness or melancholy in her tone:
"Then I expect you to come to me, Shade, and I will wait for you. Of course, if you don't come to me, then I will go to you."
"Woooooo~"
"You are so cute."
She used adjectives that she would not normally use to describe men, and then kissed Shade on the face:
"Then just sleep a little longer, your enemy is still waiting for you. Sleep, Shade, sleep peacefully in my arms. Ice and snow are blessing us, and the long winter is coming. Before that, please Go to sleep."
She hugged Shade, who could not speak, into her arms again, but she had to admit that although Chloe was small, her figure was definitely not comparable to Agelina's.
The ancient language sang a gentle song, and the lullaby of the fifth era was hummed hoarsely by the little ice witch, and the sleepiness really began to rise.
In the cool smell of Chloe's perfume, Shade fell into sleep again.
The heavy snow in the dream was no longer cold, but when Shade held the edge of the boat and opened his eyes and looked around, he found that it was still the edge of life and death shrouded in heavy fog.
But he was very sure that the boating trip on the snowy lake with Chloe just now was not his dream, because there was really a strong chill in his mouth at this moment.
Snowflakes were falling in the heavy fog on the edge of life and death, and ice crystals had appeared in the river water on his body. If you look carefully, even the river surface around the boat was rustling and slowly freezing. The power given by the demigod witch was really
He was brought back to the Sixth Age of the present world, but Chloe's slightly cold but gentle lips seemed to still be imprinted on Shade's lips.
The stranger has never mentioned it to anyone. In fact, his favorite among the four seasons is winter.
