"Wei Ge."
Seeing Viggo's tearful eyes, Shad really didn't know how to refuse. He could only help Viggo sit up, otherwise he couldn't make the "hug" gesture, but Viggo Astley clearly didn't think so.
This time, she refused to sit up and continued to look at Xia De with red eyes. Xia De had no choice but to take off his shoes and coat and crawl into the quilt as well. Wei Ge leaned over and curled up in Xia De's arms, truly feeling the warmth and listening to the strong heartbeat, before she was satisfied.
Shade didn't stop her; after Viggo finished her actions, he reached out and embraced her. Viggo then shifted a couple more times to find the most comfortable position, before curling up and bursting into tears again.
“I am natural, not the product of some strange experiment, which is certainly good. But my mother really did those things, and I most likely have an older sister. Why would she do such a thing? And what was I in my mother's plan?”
Xia De didn't speak, he just held her. After Wei Ge cried for a while and regained her composure, Xia De finally spoke:
"Wei Ge, do you regret meeting me?"
"No regrets, never will."
"If I hadn't met you, none of these things would have happened."
"I will never have the chance to figure it out."
"Alright, since you don't regret it, I will definitely help you find out the truth. Whether it's your mother or your possible sister, I will help you find out what you want to know."
"Ah."
She buried her face in Shad's chest, and the strange idea that had occurred to her yesterday afternoon resurfaced. She blushed slightly and couldn't bear to look at Shad's expression.
"It's late at night, you."
She wanted Shad to stay with her, but Adele, Bella, and Megan were all there tonight, and reason reminded her that today was not the right time.
But now that she had already brought Xia De here, Vige was unwilling to let him leave like this. So she stopped halfway through her sentence, wrapped her arms around Xia De to prevent him from getting up, and lingered for a long time like a spoiled child before finally kissing him.
"You'll definitely come again on Sunday, right?"
"Of course, Vige, we can discuss some of the words on the stone tablet then."
"Then go, remember to think of me."
She gave Shad a seemingly indifferent shove, but the movement was actually very gentle. Shad reached for his coat on the bedside table, found the crystal shoe playing card, but before throwing the shoe, he gently kissed Viggo's forehead before returning home.
Xia De's departure made Wei Ge feel a sudden chill in the air. She blushed and moved closer to the pillow where Xia De had just been using, but ultimately she was too embarrassed to put her face right up to it.
After a long while, once she had calmed down, she reached out and pulled the cord above her bed. A short while later, Miss Rowling, having heard the bell, rushed over.
"Master, what's wrong?"
She noticed that Wei Ge's complexion had improved significantly; although her eyes were still red, she seemed to be in good spirits.
"I want to take a shower. Also, prepare a new set of underwear."
"Yes Master."
Miss Rowling didn't suspect anything and immediately went to instruct the maids to get to work. Viggo sat up, leaning against the pillows, her face still flushed. Only she knew that when Shad had held her and kissed her, spring had indeed arrived.
Meanwhile, when Shad returned home, it was already 10 p.m. Winnie had already left, Luvia was sitting alone on the sofa reading a book, and Mia was lying boredly on the edge of the coffee table, letting her tail droop down and wag from side to side.
Although Luvia and the cat don't interact at all, they have clearly become accustomed to each other's presence.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Luvia didn't ask Shad why he had been gone for so long. When Shad returned, she gave him a warm hug.
“Winnie left half an hour ago. I originally wanted her to stay too, but the maid said that she and you hadn’t done anything intimate yet. In the past two months, you’ve had so many opportunities, and without any other restrictions, and you haven’t done anything?”
It's not that she did nothing, she just didn't do that. But in reality, Winnie, as an ice and snow fairy, the darling of the world, is essentially a mass of coldness, and the human body is meaningless to her.
Shad didn't explain any of this, but took a deep breath while holding Luvia:
"You'd never guess how lively Arcadia is tonight."
Luvia smiled, then gently twitched her nose, knowing that Shad had successfully completed the task.
For Xia De, tonight was not over yet; he could use both the black time key and the normal time key.
But he didn't plan to open two keys tonight; outsiders understand the importance of balancing work and rest. Considering Luvia was staying overnight, Shad only intended to use the "Key of Yggdrasil" to see Adele before going to sleep, so that he could learn more about things later in his dream with long-haired Luvia.
As for the normal time key, you can save it for tomorrow morning.
Shad did not tell Luvia his plans, but later, while changing his clothes, he told her what had happened during the two hours he had been away from home.
Luvia was somewhat surprised that Vigo's birth was ultimately proven to be perfectly normal.
"Her mother was so mysterious, but in the end she turned out to be normal? Wasn't she the product of human transmutation or illegal experiments?"
Shad joked:
"Perhaps this is because the council already has Megan and Audrey, and there is no need for a second or third witch with an abnormal background."
Luvia ignored the joke:
"But regardless, since Vigo's mother mentioned something that seemed to be related to the chosen one, it's impossible for her to be completely unrelated. The perfect child, capable of splitting into four... I've never heard of such a thing before."
However, considering that Ms. Lemaître left the Truth Society, does that mean she believes the results of her research at the Emerald Alchemy Society completely outweigh the value the Truth Society could offer her?
"That depends on what this 'Perfect Child' really is. Ms. Lemaître's description is quite impressive—a path to the source of creation, which is probably what the Emerald Record says. What I'm more interested in is that the stone tablet says the Perfect Child can heal Vigo."
Shad said:
"Ms. Lemaître's whereabouts still need further investigation. There is a second matter tonight: the Holy Son Alliance and the Demon Eye Club both seem to be collecting embers. The latter may be related to those traitors, and the split ember source may still need to absorb embers."
But what is the former trying to do? Could it be that the 'hatred' they want to create is also related to the fire?
"That's hard to say, there's not enough evidence at this stage."
Luvia shook her head:
"However, the situation is tense right now. Without the help of other witches, Vigo Astley is indeed in a bit of a predicament in Arcadia City. Let her know about your relationship with the other witches as soon as possible, and then send people to support her. Don't play the game with Galina for too long."
Xia De thought of the girl who had cried tonight and nodded gently:
“No problem. Adelina is going there next week, this is a good opportunity.”
Luvia had already showered at home, and Shad, after changing into his pajamas, also went to the bathroom to shower. He put the black time key and the card containing his outer clothes into his pocket, turned on the shower, quickly changed his clothes, and then inserted the key into the bathroom door.
May the World Tree protect me throughout infinite time!

With a gentle push, the door led not to his own living room, but to the familiar endless white mist. Shad felt he could almost see Adele's figure.
She then gently reminded him:
[Outsider, please take note. A message from the "Father of the Infinite Tree": You are permitted to bring one additional relic this time.]
When Shade entered the washroom, he only brought the smaller "Star Mark" and "Perfume Bottle". He didn't use the Perfume Bottle much in the present world anymore, but he didn't mind bringing it with him when adventuring in the past world.
"One piece."
After careful consideration, he chose the small perfume bottle and then stepped into the fog gate.
[Outsider, you have stepped into the "Corridor of Time".]
[A message from the ancient god "Father of the Infinite Tree":]
[Past Era, Sixth Era, Old World, End City - Tobesk.]
[Event: Tobesk, the Last Era.]
[Duration is arbitrary (9/∞).]
You have received additional information.
You have stepped into a history that does not exist.
The figure of the Father of the Infinite Tree watches over you.
[Note: You cannot leave the Saint-Delan Square area during this exploration.]
[Note that you are allowed to bring any spellcasting materials into this time.]
[Note: Defeating any powerful enemy using the Time Key will allow you to return to the "present" time.]
The white mist slowly dissipated after "her" voice faded, and behind the drawn "curtain" lay that familiar yet unfamiliar dilapidated home.
Compared to when Shad first came, the house, though still dilapidated, was at least not particularly deserted now that Adele had lived there for a long time. The sofa and coffee table were no longer covered with white sheets, a warm flame flickered in the old fireplace, and some tea sets that Shad had brought were placed on top of it.
A wooden wardrobe with peeling paint was placed to the side of the sofa, and next to the wardrobe was a square dining table with a distinctly French style.
Suddenly transported to the apocalyptic era, the familiar headache and nausea still made Shad frown and kneel down on one knee. But as he adjusted to his new environment, he suddenly smelled blood amidst the musty odor.
"what?"
Suppressing her discomfort, Shad stood up and followed the scent to the sofa. This sofa was Adele's usual bed, and compared to sleeping in the wild, this living environment was good enough for her.
At this moment, the blonde witch with a beauty mark at the corner of her eye was lying on the sofa with her eyes closed, a bandage wrapped around her right chest, and bloodstains could be faintly seen under the bandage.
"Adele is injured?"
Hearing footsteps, the witch opened her eyes. Seeing Shad looking at her with concern, Adele reached out her hand, which Shad quickly grasped with both hands.
