The next day.

"Why hasn't Lord Akhtar gotten up yet?" Shark Lady Kashut sat at the dining table, biting bread and looking up at the second floor frequently.

She basically didn't sleep last night, and her mind was full of the reward Lord Akhtar mentioned last night, whether the reward was the same as she thought.

"That man has a very self-disciplined lifestyle." The Sick Witch yawned, then rubbed the corners of her eyes and said:

"But he may get up later today."

"What do you mean?" Shark Lady Kashut showed a puzzled look, but the Sick Witch did not explain, but instead looked at the Plague Goddess beside her, with a slight smile on her lips:

"Why not ask the Plague Goddess, she has a good relationship with Akhtar."

Shark Lady Kashut looked subconsciously, and saw the Plague Goddess shook her head gently without giving any explanation.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little heavy.

Shark Lady Kashut did not ask further questions, and began to think about the possibility that Akhtar did not get up early, and then she realized that Leticia did not get up either.

"Have you figured it out?" The Sick Witch looked at the second floor and said in a joking tone, "Maybe you can see some interesting scenes if you go to Akhtar now."

Shark Lady Kashut rolled her eyes. She knew the relationship between Akhtar and Leticia very well. In order to treat Leticia, Lord Akhtar went to the duel to fight to the death to make money, and even challenged a country for Leticia.

So she was not surprised that Leticia and Akhtar were together.

And as they spent some time together, she found that Leticia was a very opinionated woman, not as passive as the princess in the story.

After clarifying what she needs, she will take the initiative to attack.

……

Meanwhile.

On the second floor.

The sunlight passed through the gap between the curtains and fell on a large white bed and a couple hugging each other.

The girl with golden hair rested her head on the man's broad shoulders and fell asleep peacefully like a kitten.

Ximu opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was the girl sleeping peacefully. Looking down, he could see two unrestrained white bodies pressed against his chest, and faintly visible blue thin blood vessels under the white skin.

The girl last night seemed to have taken off all her disguises. She was no longer elegant and dignified as before, but instead gave people an extremely docile and soft feeling, like a well-behaved and obedient kitten, allowing him to play with her soft body.

This contrast brought a charm that was almost irresistible.

His hand could not help but slide along her slender waist, and the two bodies got closer. Then he saw Leticia moaning as if in protest, and there was no sign of waking up from being touched like this.

It was obvious that she was very tired.

Ximu stopped moving, gently pulled out the arm that was pillowed by Leticia, and then got off the bed lightly, and covered Leticia with the quilt.

However, the girl on the bed suddenly curled up, as if she noticed the departure of the person next to her, and vaguely showed signs of waking up.

"Go to sleep, I won't go anywhere." Ximu said softly, and saw the girl's body relax again.

He turned and left the room, gently closing the door.

A moment later.

Ximu went down the stairs to the living room, only to see the Sick Witch and the Plague Goddess sitting on the sofa, looking at him differently.

As for the shark girl Kashut, she temporarily left the mansion.

"What's wrong?" He sat down in the empty seat, looked at the bread on the table, and then poured himself a cup of tea.

The Sick Witch looked at the man who was normal, her legs wrapped in black silk crossed, her hands on her knees, and asked curiously: "After experiencing the girl's wholehearted love, does the Lord of Ashes still plan to burn the world?"

"Wholehearted love?" Ximu drank a sip of red tea, then stretched out a finger, and the ash flame ignited at the fingertips.

The temperature in the air suddenly rose.

The smile on the face of the Sick and Dead Witch gradually disappeared. She just wanted to provoke the Plague Goddess, but she didn't expect Akhtar to suddenly ignite the Ash Flame.

Ximu didn't seem to notice that the Sick and Dead Witch suddenly became obedient, and explained to herself: "At the beginning, a goddess tried to make me feel the love of my whole heart and stop burning the Tree of All-Knowing. Later, I burned her to ashes with my own hands."

He extinguished the flame on his fingertips.

"Don't try to use emotions to make me give up burning the world, or find a way to defeat me."

The Sick and Dead Witch remained silent.

Whether she could use emotions to make Akhtar give up burning the world was not within her consideration... No, she never thought about defeating Akhtar, and let more talented people figure out that kind of thing.

"The clone witch appears more and more frequently." The Plague Goddess suddenly spoke, her eyes falling on the window, "She no longer hides her whereabouts."

Ximu followed his sight and saw a girl with twin ponytails, wearing a Lolita dress and holding an umbrella standing outside the window, smiling and looking at them.

"She sneaked into the villa yesterday." The Death Witch said softly, "If she hadn't found out that the Plague Goddess lived with me, she might have tried to take the initiative directly."

She was not very afraid of the clone witch. If she really encountered an irresistible danger, she would choose to kill herself without hesitation, triggering the blessing left by the Omniscient God, and avoid the capture of the clone witch by resurrecting from the dead.

But that was also a last resort.

No one knows whether her suicide will cause the All-Knowing God to think she has no potential, depriving her of her blessing and losing her ability to resurrect from the dead.

"The situation sounds tricky." Ximu chuckled and looked at the Plague Goddess, "What are you going to do next?"

"I want to take the Sick Witch to the High Heavens." The Plague Goddess expressed her thoughts, "This will ensure the safety of the Sick Witch and will not disturb your reunion with Leticia."

"It's a very correct choice." Ximu clapped his hands lightly, and then his eyes fell on the Sick Witch, "It seems that we are going to separate."

From a rational point of view, it is undoubtedly the right thing to do to let the Sick Witch go to the High Heavens to accept the protection of the gods.

However, the Sick Witch shook her head, turned her face aside and said, "Sorry, I don't plan to go to the High Heavens."

"Can you tell me the reason?" The Plague Goddess showed a puzzled expression, and the Sick Witch twitched her mouth when she heard it, and her eyes couldn't help but fall on Akhtar.

In her opinion, the current situation is that the Plague Goddess is making trouble and is looking for an excuse to leave the world. If she really agrees to go to the High Heavens, Akhtar will coax the Plague Goddess with sweet words afterwards, and might turn around and beat her up. Then she will be the only one who will be unlucky.

So it is better to make it clear from the beginning that she does not want to go to the High Heavens. Anyway, as long as the Plague Goddess stays in the world, Akhtar will not really let her be captured by the Witch of the Doppelganger.

It is better that the Plague Goddess will lose the reason to stay.

"How could a witch choose to go to the sky?" The Sick and Dead Witch said as a matter of course, "I didn't know the relationship between gods and witches was so good."

The Plague Goddess explained, "Now the gods in the sky don't have much hostility towards witches. On the contrary, you can get enough protection."

Ximu agreed, "That's right."

"But I have hostility towards the gods." The Sick and Dead Witch said coldly. She didn't have any good feelings towards the gods. The reason why she died was because of the gods. Obviously, she never took the initiative to kill anyone.

The Plague Goddess didn't say much when she saw this. She knew that the Sick and Dead Witch had made a decision and it was impossible to persuade her easily.

"I'm going to catch up on my sleep." The Sick and Dead Witch turned into a black wind and disappeared on the spot, floating towards the second floor.

"She still has prejudices against the gods." Ximu chuckled, causing the Plague Goddess to roll her eyes, and then picked up the long bread on the table, poked it at Akhtar's mouth, and stuffed it into Akhtar's mouth.

"Don't waste your breakfast." The Plague Goddess' voice contained a little helplessness, and she stood up and left the living room.

It is not difficult to guess the little thoughts of the Sick Witch. She just thinks that there will be no danger as long as she stays. Although Akhtar claims that he will not protect the Sick Witch, he should protect himself, and she has to protect the Sick Witch.

When she really encounters a dangerous situation, even if it is not for the safety of the Sick Witch, she will choose to take action for her sake.

So choosing to stay is actually a safer choice.

Ximu shook his head, ate the long bread, and then came to the edge of the lake next to the mansion. He saw the witch with the umbrella on her shoulders, standing elegantly on the edge of the lake, like an elegant lady.

"It is very rude to let the girl take the initiative to speak." She suddenly spoke, as if she was sure that there was someone around her.

Ximu smiled and said, "Can you see me?"

The witch with the clone turned around when she heard the words, and there was no one in sight. She still couldn't detect the hidden existence.

But her demeanor was still calm and elegant.

"Maybe it's the girl's intuition." She lied with a charming smile, but in fact she was just reasoning logically.

After standing outside for so long, and the Plague Goddess ended the conversation with the invisible existence, the invisible existence would most likely be attracted to her.

So she just had to wait a moment to speak.

"Really?" Ximu said, and then passed by the clone witch, but the clone witch who stayed in place did not notice this abnormality, and was still trying to communicate with the invisible existence, trying to find out some relevant information.

However.

"Doppelgänger, why are you talking to the air?" The Plague Goddess appeared at some point and said to the clone witch who was talking to herself:

"He left a long time ago."

The atmosphere fell silent.

The clone witch turned her head silently, met the puzzled eyes of the Plague Goddess, and silently lowered the umbrella to cover her expression.

That invisible man is so annoying.

"Want to go in for a cup of tea?" The Plague Goddess pointed to the villa, wanting to talk to the witch clone, but the witch clone had no interest in communicating. After stamping her feet lightly, she turned the umbrella on her shoulder slightly, and her figure disappeared from the spot.

...

...

Afternoon.

Leticia stood up with one hand on the bed, and the quilt slid down her snow-white body. She subconsciously covered her chest with her hand, and her emerald eyes looked around the room. Akhtar leaned against the head of the bed and put down the book in his hand.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Ximu asked, and Leticia felt her body state after hearing the words, and found that she didn't feel any discomfort, as if she had been healed by magic.

"Well, I'm fine." Leticia said, while pulling up the quilt to cover her upper body, covering her body.

She leaned against the head of the bed and looked at the dim sky outside the window.

"Before I was killed by you, I was thinking that if I had a chance to do it again, I hope I can never meet you again, so that you will not become the Lord of Ashes because of me. If we have to meet, I hope we will no longer be. The princess who is protected by you can become a knight who stands with you and faces difficulties. "

Ximu chuckled: "It's not easy to become a knight who faces difficulties with me."

If you want to be qualified to stand by his side and face difficulties, you need to have at least a witch-level power. However, Leticia does not have the qualifications to become a witch, and it is almost impossible to even grow to the peak of human beings.

This is not to say that Leticia's qualifications are poor, but rather that Leticia's qualifications are quite good, enough to grow into a powerful knight.

But compared to the witch who may not appear for hundreds of years, there is still no comparison. It is basically confirmed that Leticia will stop at the peak of human beings.

It is true that witches and demons are everywhere in this era, but that is only because the Witch of Time dragged all the heroes of the past into this era.

It never means that witches and demons can achieve it easily.

In this era, the only person who has the qualifications to become a witch is Hecate. As for others, even if they have original souls, they may not be able to become demons or witches. There are also conditions regarding qualifications and rituals.

"Yes." Leticia raised her hand to gently hold the hair around her ears, and smiled frankly at Akhtar, "I am very satisfied now."

In this world, success is not achieved through hard work. She has clearly understood this at a very young age. Now she is very lucky to be able to stay with Akhtar, but this does not mean that she She will choose to give up, but she will still choose to continue to grow until she can no longer grow.

"Satisfaction does not mean acceptance, right?" Ximu said, and Leticia was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then whispered:

"People must continue to grow after all." Now her goal of growth is to stand by Akhtar's side, be able to truly understand Akhtar, and become an understander of Akhtar, otherwise her lover would be too much. Incompetent.

Even the people you love can't understand it.

"If you want to grow." Ximu's eyes fell on the Sword of Light placed beside the bed. He remembered that part of the plot of the DLC provided by the system was about Leticia and the Sword of Light.
