277:
“Shelley, Shelley, Shelley.”
“My lair is built. Do you want to come and see it?”
Catherine, with her silver-white dragon wings extended behind her, quickly approached Shelley, and then landed at his side at high speed, bringing up a strong gust of wind that blew her skirt and Shelley’s hair.
“Shelley… hmm?”
Catherine wanted to continue speaking, but she found that Shelley did not answer, but just sat quietly. It took her a long time to react and look at her with a somewhat slow reaction.
“What’s wrong with you?”
Shelley’s eyes were a little empty. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. He said to her with a smile as if nothing had happened, “It’s nothing. I was just thinking about something.”
Catherine looked at him carefully and found that he was indeed not sad, but just looked a little confused and shocked, and then she didn’t care anymore.
“Alright then, let’s go.”
She directly took Shelley’s hand and led him to her lair, flying and excitedly telling Shelley about the structure of the lair.
Shelley floated in the air, silently listening to her explanation, and from time to time, he would reveal an expectant smile.
“By the way, what’s Catherine’s conquest progress?”
[Do you still need that?]
The luxurious bedroom was a little different from usual. There was an extra huge mirror, on which were playing some blood-pumping scenes.
That small figure seemed to have grown a little since before, and some curves could be seen from her body. At this time, she was enjoying the chaotic battle inside with great interest. Hearing this, she raised an eyebrow and said with a grin, [My power has also recovered a little.]
[Many things are not so troublesome anymore.]
“Keep it.”
“After all, it’s also a memory.”
She smiled even more happily, stretched her slender legs in white stockings, and then fell directly back onto the bed.
[Are you trying to please me?]
His body was floating in the biting high-altitude cold wind. Shelley also chuckled softly, “If thinking so will make you happy.”
“I don’t mind.”
[Is~~ that~~ so~~]
She was silent after that. Shelley did not press, but looked up at the excited Catherine and suddenly said, “Compared to the hundreds of years of life before, have these past six months been happy?”
Catherine, who was chattering, suddenly stopped. Her speeding figure also stopped in the air. She stared blankly at Shelley’s expression at this moment.
And at this time, dark red bat wings also extended from Shelley’s back, and he floated to the front of Catherine. In this process, he had not let go of Catherine’s hand.
Shelley gently tapped Catherine’s nose with his free hand and then said gently, “Silly girl.”
“With us, no…”
“Are the days with me happy?”
Then the daze on her face melted like ice and snow, revealing the most brilliant smile. She nodded heavily.
“Happy!”
Compared to the hundreds of years of loneliness without seeing the sun, the experiences of these days really made her feel different. Catherine already had a feeling that if she were to shrink back into her lair alone for another hundred years, she might go crazy.
“I could have endured the darkness if I had never seen the light.”
Now, even the lair she had been so obsessed with building was not so interesting. If it weren’t for wanting Shelley to take a look, Catherine would not have been so excited.
“I see.”
Shelley let go of Catherine’s hand, took out a necklace inlaid with colorful crystals, gently put it on Catherine’s neck, and then said softly, “Then let’s never be separated again.”
“From now on, I will entrust everything to you.”
“You can also safely entrust everything to me.”
Catherine lowered her head and touched the necklace on her neck, speechless.
When she looked up again, she had a mature smile that matched her appearance and said softly, “Where do we need to wait for the future?”
“I’ve already entrusted it to you.”
Catherine put her hands behind her back, then tilted her head and smiled at Shelley, her face flushed, “Shelley, did you know?”
“My lair is built, and I’m an adult now…”
Shelley’s expression changed slightly. He looked at her not-faking expression, floated a little in Catherine’s direction, and reached out to grab her but was dodged by Catherine.
“You mean… hmm?”
“Heeheehee…”
Catherine quickly pulled away from Shelley’s career front. Her silver-bell-like laughter came from the sky, “I don’t know. What are you talking about~”
“And.”
“I’m the older sister.”
“Heeheehee.”
Shelley was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth turned up in a somewhat excited smile. He quickly chased after her.
“This little one…”
In the dark night sky, with the vast expanse of stars above and the city lights below, one was wearing a pure white long dress, and the other was wearing a pure white formal dress. The two of them were chasing each other in the air.
The distance between them slowly closed. Finally, the two pairs of dragon wings finally wrapped them tightly and fell onto the snow-covered mountain peak…
No one could see what happened inside anymore.
It was just that the next day, someone discovered… there had been a small-scale avalanche there.
…
And when Catherine had found Shelley, the only reason he was in a daze was that his other divinity had awakened. But with the experience from last time, this time, no matter what he was possessing, Shelley was mentally prepared and should not have been in a daze for so long.
And the reason he was shocked was…
“…Can you explain it to me?”
[Cough, cough, what’s there to explain?]
Pat, pat, pat…
“…Everything right now!”
“Why, why am I!”
Pat, pat, pat…
A dark red worm was constantly hitting the ground, forcefully slapping its own body, letting out a silent roar.
“Why the fuck am I a soul worm?”
Ah? What the hell? Is this fucking the Abyss?
The feeling this place gave Shelley was not the chaotic place of the Abyss, and it did not look like the area around the Abyss blood pool. Although he could only “see” a distance of five meters around him now, he had a strange sense of familiarity…
“Where am I now? The ground feels very smooth.”
“And…”
Suddenly, Shelley’s action of slapping the ground paused. He sensed the vibration of the ground.
“Who’s coming?”
“How do I hide now?”
[Go~ for~ it~]
!!!
“Hey! Hey!”
The system was completely silent, as if it had entered a spectating mode. This made Shelley’s teeth itch with hatred.
“There’s no other way. I can only play dead.”
So there was an extra red, columnar object that had lost its dream on the ground…
“You can’t see me, you can’t see me, you can’t see me…”
