The "Mermaid" entered the water, and the splash of cold water wetted the entire front half of Shade's body standing on the ice floe. He heard a laughter like silver bells, a laughter full of emotion and tenderness.
The demon on the shore took a step back, but felt unable to retreat further. Shade also wanted to retreat, but resisted the urge and stood there.
He stretched out his hand to wipe the water from his face, and heard the woman's laughter that made the blood in his body boil, getting closer and closer under the water.
Wow~
Then ripples appeared in the dark water, and Shade looked at his feet uncontrollably. The head of a woman with beautiful long black hair had already poked out of the ice floe illuminated by the fire.
The water droplets fell along the milk-white skin. The facial features were like a mixture of the advantages of all the beautiful girls Shade knew. The purple eyes, which were almost the same as Luvia, made Shade's scalp tingle.
The soul looked at him with a trembling smile.
She seemed to see directly through Shade's soul.
A strand of broken black hair, together with her lower lip, was lightly bitten by white teeth. Her voice was a little hoarse and lazy, but it was so intoxicating:
"Long time no see, interesting soul."
At this moment, Shade still swallowed subconsciously. Even though it was not the first time he saw [Desire], it was still as if it was the first time for him, and he had no resistance at all to her extraordinary charm.
.
All he could do now was to use his peripheral vision to confirm that the demon on the shore had not left.
The night is still deep, and the firelight of the woods on the shore is swaying on the water and ice floes, and also on the side of the woman's face. The burning night and the beautiful woman should not appear in the same picture, but when [Desire]
When she appeared, the burning jungle gave her a more cruel beauty.
She didn't care about the devil on the shore at all, but looked up at Shade with affection:
"Very good, I see your arrogance. Very good, really good."
The sound was very soft, like a small brush brushing against the skin, or like little Mia gently scratching the back of her hand. Something huge was shaking under the ice floe and under the water surface, and Shade heard the sound of a tail from an unknown location on the river.
The sound of lapping water:
"Hello."
After all, this time, it was Shade who actively summoned [Desire], so he suppressed the restlessness, discomfort and inexplicable panic, and said hello.
The woman's head in the water bloomed with a brighter smile, and that smile seemed to light up the snowy moonless night:
"I told you, you will definitely use that perfume bottle to summon me. Oh, I smell it, yes, you smell very good."
The pretty little nose that was wetted twitched a few times, and Shade felt his heart beat a few times as a result.
"This is the smell of a female dragon, a very beautiful female dragon."
Shade nodded subconsciously, and at this time, a white right arm stretched out from the right side of the woman's head under the water.
The index finger of the right hand stretched out, the other four fingers were bent, and then the index finger lightly touched the side of her cheek:
"Interesting soul, what's the matter with me this time?"
Shade finally looked towards the other side. Several ripples appeared on the water, and the beautiful head and arm also turned behind him. However, they did not rotate together with the head as the center of the circle, but each rotated in their own way.
The center of the circle spins one hundred and eighty degrees.
"oh?"
A chuckle full of charm rang out, because desire no longer looked at Shade, and Shade felt a little more relaxed.
"Miss."
The devil on the shore also adjusted his state at this time and bowed respectfully.
"It turns out to be you."
Facing the devil, the tone of desire becomes calmer.
"Ma'am, this is between me and him."
"Please shut your mouth."
She said very gently, then turned her head and hands to look at Shade again:
"What do you want me to do for you?"
Biting her lips again:
"You can make any request to me, yes, anything."
Shade subconsciously wanted to retreat, but immediately realized that he was on an ice floe:
"If I ask you to help, what will it cost?"
There was a smile in his purple eyes, and his right hand gently rested on the edge of the ice where Shade was, and then his head suddenly arched upward, almost allowing Shade to see whether the bottom of his head was his neck:
"If you want me to destroy him, all you have to do is kiss me. Yes, a very excessive kind of kiss. I will put the most passion into it and let you know what a kiss is."
The pink tongue was bitten by the upper and lower teeth, and only the tip of the tongue was exposed. Subconsciously, Shade's eyes looked at the red lips. While his heart was beating violently, he hurriedly said in his heart, "My Mia~
"To stabilize your heart.
The cat doll is now on the inside of his chest, which seems to directly give him strength and courage:
"No, no, I don't ask for that much."
Shade quickly shook his head. He suspected that as long as he dared to kiss the other party, he might never be able to get rid of the other party. Moreover, he had already prepared the method to deal with the devil. What he needed now was to create a battle situation that was beneficial to him:
"I want to be with it."
He pointed to the devil on the other side:
"I want to bet and play a game with it. Yes, a fair game. Since it didn't agree just now, then I can only ask you to help me and make it agree. If I win, I
Want ownership of Oxenfurt's soul. If I lose, I will not leave Oxenfurt Manor tonight."
The conditions proposed by Shade were still the same as before, but this time, the demon on the shore with his back to the firelight agreed without hesitation:
"no problem."
"It turned out that I was asked to be the referee."
The woman next to the ice said with a smile. She licked her lips and lifted her wet black hair by her ear with her right hand. The sound of water was dripping, and the skin near the water surface felt the coldness of the ice water, so it had a different look from fair skin.
The same reddish color.
"So, do you know what I want you to pay?"
Her right hand was slightly raised, with the palm facing upward, which completely separated the part of that arm above the elbow from the water. The naked white arm had extremely well-proportioned lines, and the skin seemed to have a soft light originally. Under the firelight on the shore
, and even showed a strange brilliance that almost made Shade bend down and take a bite.
He felt completely unable to control his head, because the outsider found that he was uncontrollably imagining what the pit of such a beautiful arm looked like.
"Yes, I know what you want."
Although there was no prompt, Shade understood. Although he felt a little regretful, he still took out the small note about [Desire] he had just received from the devil from his pocket.
The note flew lightly into the woman's palm, and the palm held it and re-entered the water, as if the white arm was a wriggling flesh-colored white snake:
"You really understand what I want."
She chuckled and praised Shade, and the hum from her throat as she spoke made Shade feel that the night was getting hotter and hotter.
"A woman with secrets is the most charming. So, please don't pry into my affairs easily in the future."
Although she spoke with a smile, Shade clearly felt threatened by these words.
"Goethe, you make the rules of the game. You are very good at this."
The head in the lake turned back and said to the devil by the lake.
The latter stared at Shade, but it could be seen that although it was angry, it had no intention of killing Shade immediately:
"Yes, I am very good at playing interesting games with mortals."
The devil stretched out a finger:
"The rules are simple: the scope of activity is limited to the woods of the fire and Oxenfurt Manor. I will pull this place into my domain and use snow, trees, fire and stones to create a maze. Some animals will be lucky enough to be
Select it and put it into my domain, and then I will be reflected in the shape of any animal, waiting for you deep in the maze. You have to get out of the maze and catch me within an hour, but you can only identify it once."
"As a rule of fair game, Goethe cannot change the layout during the game after setting it up at the beginning of the game, and the animal form cannot hide and escape other than animal instinct. As for interesting souls, you cannot eliminate suspicion by murdering other animals.
You are also not allowed to fly in the maze. But other than that, you are allowed to use any means."
The woman in the lake said softly, and Shade nodded. This rule seems fair indeed. The stone mirror demon Goethe is good at using the stone mirror of his body to reflect various images. But if the means are not limited, as the five rings
Shade, the warlock, has his own way of finding out-of-the-ordinary animals.
As for whether both parties will use skills outside the rules, it depends on their respective abilities.
"Want me to give you some tips?"
Amidst the sound of teasing, the beautiful woman asked with a smile:
"For a price, I can give you some hints about the answers, which are important to you. For example, do you want to eat some more of my flesh? Or, how about kissing the back of my hand? This is not cheating in the game.
,Because, I am the referee."
The demon on the shore said nothing about this, Shade shook his head hurriedly, and [Desire] complained about himself in a tone that made people unable to help but feel pity:
"It seems that my charm still cannot impress you. Well, when your game is over, remember to come to the lake to say goodbye to me. I know that you also want to get other things from me."
She blinked at Shade, those beautiful purple eyes really looked like Luvia:
"The game begins after the construction of Goethe's Demon Realm is completed. After the game begins until the final end, you are not allowed to directly harm each other in any way."
She stuck to the word "directly", paused and announced:
