Chapter 1087 Going To The Witch Continent
Chapter 1087 Going To The Witch Continent
It was the golden hour. The sun was starting to settle in the horizon. In the middle of the village square were many villagers covered in bandages. Their bandages covered their infected areas, but it did not stop the spreading plague. Thousands upon thousands of tiny black holes were on the villagers' surface and—
"Wait! Stop! Don't explain further!"
Lith shoved a bunch of grapes in his wife's mouth and stopped her from speaking. Even though he did not have trypophobia, he felt his spine tingle from the vivid imagination. His comprehension skills were otherworldly, to the point where he could picture everything the person in front was saying to the finest details. It was a good thing, but also a curse for times like these. Sitting on the opposite side of the table, Qingyue was feeling a constant tingle on her scalp. She did not want to listen further, but had no choice but to do as it would be rude to cover her ears in front of her Prince. Luna felt somewhat uncomfortable, but that was about it. Her expressions and body language were normal, and she sipped a cup of coffee leisurely. "Hm?" Alexandra chewed the grapes and gulped them down. "Do you not want to know about this, darling?"
Lith shook his head. "No. I want to know about this, but skip the extreme details. Just tell me the things that happened and the things you learnt."
Alexandra's lips curled down. "If you don't want to listen, does it mean that my adventures were boring, generic and not worth the effort to look back on them?"
"No, no." Lith shook his head again. "Your adventures were amazing. It's just that…"
Lith tried to find an excuse, and immediately got one when he saw his tablet lying on the table. He took the tablet and showed it to Alexandra. "…there's a lot of work that needs to get done. I have to check a few things and then we'll need to go to different places to solve those things and wrap them up."
"We?" Alexandra asked with an interested look on her face. "Yes. We. We'll finish those tasks together. It'll be more efficient that way." Lith said with a smile on his face. What a save…
Alexandra couldn't be happier. If she wasn't resting on Lith's lap, she would've been jumping in joy for getting such an opportunity of working with her husband!
Alexandra gulped the grape and asked with visible enthusiasm, "What's the task? What will we be doing?"
"Uhh…" Lith had no idea. He just said that on a whim to get out of a tricky situation, but now he fell into another trickier one. Lith quickly checked the tablet screen and saw Hecate on it, saying something in the Witch Court's meeting. "We are going to the Witch Continent!" Lith suddenly said. "Witch?" Alexandra said with raised eyebrows. "That's new."
Realizing what he just said and what his wife's response was, Lith wanted to slap himself. How could they go to the Witch Continent? Men weren't allowed there!
The continent was laced with defensive spells and arrays. Any man who set foot there without permission would be killed immediately. Security was tight. Not to mention, the situation in the Witch Continent required intervention in the Witch Court and nowhere else. It was a risky endeavor and Lith was planning to send some of his maids to aid Hecate in her work. However, having given his words, Lith had no choice but to follow them. Words once said could not be taken back, and the enthusiastic eyes of his wife made him swallow his words. He would feel really bad if that sparkle on her face vanishes if he said something wrong. Sighing and accepting his fate, Lith said, "We'll need to disguise ourselves as Witches and infiltrate the Witch Court."
"Darling will become a Witch too?" Alexandra asked with a raised eyebrow. Lith looked to the side and fluttered his open shirt's collar, trying to let breeze seep in—as if it wasn't plenty already—and cool him down. "…yeah."
"Pfft!" Luna and Qingyue both spat their coffee and tea respectively as they heard that. They gave Lith a look, but the latter did not meet their eyes as he knew what was cooking in their mind about this situation. Luna and Qingyue both smiled widely as they thought of something and gave each other a knowing look. Qingyue mouthed to Luna 'I'll go call madam' and left the place. She could leave without Lith's permission if the matters concerned his mother as she was her personal servant and not his. Likewise, Luna could leave Lilith's side anytime to come serve Lith, and the same was the case with Freya and Lucy. With her gone to fetch the Madam, Luna took out her phone and texted a person quickly. +
Luna: Sylvia, where are you?
Sylvia is typing…
Sylvia: middle of Lering Sea with Zen. Luna: Come back, there's some urgent work that requires your assistance :).
Sylvia is typing…
Sylvia: Is it really urgent? If it isn't, I'll be back in a few days and then—
Luna: No, we can't delay this. You're urgently required here, quickly come back. Sylvia: okay :thumbsup_doge:
+
Luna then went ahead and texted a few more important people about a few important things. Oblivious to these things, Lith continued feeding Alexandra some red globe grapes and had a few himself as well while thinking about what could be done to salvage this situation and invade the Witch Continent. …..
An hour later. Witch Continent.
Donning loose black robes and pointy black hats, two young Witches stood at the shores of the Witch Continent. Both's faces were unblemished, smooth, and did not have the slightest signs of aging. They looked not a day older than eighteen. One of the two ladies was tall and the other was slightly shorter. One's eyes were crimson red while the other's… amethyst purple. Alexandra had a really sweet smile on her face as she looked at her companion beside her. She wrapped her arm around her 'lady' and pulled her close. "My darling looks so hot, oof! I'd die from a nosebleed!" Alexandra complimented Lith, who was disguised as a Witch.
Lith's dao heart was strong. He was at the pinnacle, a peak expert in the dao of shamelessness. However, today, right here, and right now… a heart demon was slowly starting to shake his dao heart.
His cheeks were flushed and he hadn't felt such embarrassment in a long while. Gritting his teeth, Lith held Alexandra's wrist and said, "Let's go to the court and finish this up! Someone's definitely going to die today for their audacity!"
