Chapter 2729 Cats and Unicorns

Flora Winslet also hugged him tightly, and with soft sobs, tears soon wet Shad's chest.

He understood Flora's emotions at this moment. Even when he just woke up in the lake, he felt a strong sense of loss and confusion.

It's just that he was awake in reality, and the memory of the dream had left him far away; while Flora was awake in this dream, and the happy life was clearly around her, but it had already appeared false, so her reaction was so great.

"I know now that all this is fake, but, but."

"Flora, the dream is fake, but you and I are real."

She heard him still calling her by her first name instead of her last name, so she gently pushed away Shade and looked at him again with tears in her eyes. After confirming something from his eyes, she asked:

"Our experience here is fake, I know it's fake, but I'm true to you..."

Shade leaned over and kissed her. Flora, with her eyes wide open, closed her eyes after a moment, and then responded to the kiss that tasted of tears. Now she felt relieved.

The two separated, and Shade raised his hand and wiped her tears with his sleeve:

"Can we leave now?"

"I understand, let's leave now."

"Yes, everyone is waiting for us."

But she didn't let go of Shade immediately:

"I want myself to remember this place, I don't want to forget all the experiences here."

"You'd better forget it, this is..."

Seeing that she seemed to want to cry again, Shade explained again:

"What's the good of false memories and experiences? When we return to reality, we can recreate those memories."

As he said that, he held her hand again. Flora Winslet broke free from his hand and twisted it. She raised her head to wipe her eyes again. Even in a false dream, she still cared about her image:

"Don't say that, don't say it, Shade. You found someone to save us, right? So how do we get out?"

"It wasn't me who found someone to save us. It was Miss Danister and Mia who took the initiative to save us. The hermits also gave us hints. But I don't know how to get out either. I probably have to wait for Iluna to pull us out of the lake."

"The chosen one is here again. So we are in the lake, right?"

She asked Shade to leave the house first. She changed her nightgown and walked out of the cabin to look at the moonless starry sky with Shade. But after just a while, she turned her head to look at the cabin behind her, the fields next to the cabin, the swings, and the chicken coop for raising pheasants that they were going to install this spring.

The land has been leveled. If life can continue here, this will be a real home.

The sentimental witch wanted to take a closer look at the house one last time, and as she truly realized the falsehood here, many unreasonable things in the past also appeared.

For example, the few people they found are still lying in the cabin behind the house. For example, although both of them are very powerful ring magicians, their lives here are mostly like ordinary people relying on their own hands.

Thinking about it, she realized that she had forgotten her identity as a witch for a long time. In addition, Shade would not trigger the witch curse at all, so if they "woke up" a few days later, what happened at night might not be as simple as two single beds together.

Thinking of this, she blushed and secretly looked at Shade with her peripheral vision. But she did not notice that when her distracting thoughts about certain things appeared, a black vortex slowly formed at the bottom of the center of the "Love Lake" under the starlight.

Even Shade did not realize this, because he suddenly heard a "meow~". He subconsciously looked up, and then his face was covered by the cat that fell from the sky.

The stranger subconsciously thought he had encountered something like a "facehugger", but he realized that it was Mia who came when the witch laughed.

He was sure that this cat was not created by the environment. After the warm cat was taken off Shade's face, it called out to the witch, and then made a "meow" sound towards the lake.

"Why are you here?"

Shade asked Mia, but since he handed the cat and the [Staff of Yggdrasil] to Luvia on the shore, he guessed the possible problems encountered in this rescue.

Now it seems that the thing he was most worried about may have really happened.

Boom!

A sudden loud noise interrupted Shade's thoughts, and then the two people and the cat saw a huge water column suddenly rising from the center of the lake. Above the water column, a black figure with extreme malice looked at the two people by the lake, and Shade saw that it was the image of a mermaid.

But this is definitely not "Desire". Although the other party looks strong, it is not as strong as the Unknown Relic. Moreover, the image shown by the other party is a very standard "mermaid" image, but Xia De is sure that the true body of "Desire" is definitely not so normal.

"Just a shadow?"

He guessed in his heart, and the witch who also felt the malice said:

"We don't need to fight it here, this is a dream world. Ride on me and run, I want to carry you here for the last time."

Her body fell forward, and as she landed, a white unicorn emitting holy white light appeared. She turned around and tried to rub against Shade, but was immediately squeezed away by another creature of similar size.

"Oh, who is so rude?!"

Miss Unicorn complained immediately, and turned her body to be surprised to see a furry and glowing "golden lion" trying to rub against Shade's hand.

To be more precise, the giant Mia's body was wearing a set of golden lion armor emitting sacred golden light. The size of the armor fit the cat's fur very well, and the cat's tail stretched out and swayed with the chains around the armor.

The golden light like the sun was released from the armor and the cat at the same time, and the cat's amber eyes turned golden. After the weak and cute Mia grew into the size of a lion, the sense of sacredness, power and majesty made the unicorn think that she was dreaming again.

But she was sure that she had not fallen into a deeper dream, because the light from the "golden lion" was so warm that even her cold soul felt the temperature again. This warmth was like the sun, sacred but impossible to look directly at, at least not for anyone other than Shade.

And Shade was looking at the "big cat" rubbing against him with a melancholy face:

"Mia, you have evolved wrongly again."

The cat at this time certainly did not regain the power of the Battle of Moon Bay, because the "golden lion armor" was still at home, and the cat did not devour the philosopher's stone, and did not meet the basic requirements of "cat evolution".

It should have only thought that this majestic appearance was the power it had in daily life after the Battle of Moon Bay, so it changed into this appearance again when it entered the dream.

"Is this your cat?"

The unicorn on the side asked incredulously:

"Wait a minute, you never told me that your cat named Mia is..."

Then they saw the cat open its mouth and "meow~" at the water column rising in the middle of the lake.

The golden light gathered in the open mouth, and then turned into a dazzling light cannon that evaporated the black shadow and most of the Love Lake. The golden light of the sun penetrated the night and left a long-lasting light mark. Shade and Miss Unicorn even felt that the temperature around them had risen by several degrees.

The dream lake under the sea of ​​stars returned to calm, and the malice just now disappeared without a trace. If the water level of the Love Lake had not dropped by several meters, no one could be sure that there was really any danger just now.

"Is this your cat?"

The witch asked again, but Shade did not say "This is the client's cat" or something like that, but gently raised his hand and touched Mia's big head:

"I can answer your other questions, but I really can't answer the question about Mia. I can only tell you that this cat has the bloodline of the rumored 'Son of the Sun'."

"Meow~"

Seeing Shade standing there talking to the unicorn and ignoring her, Mia pushed the unicorn aside again, and then pouted Shade with her head. Mia was probably sure that the "owl" who could grow and shrink like her was of the same kind.

Shade understood what it meant, so he climbed onto its back. The cat cried a few more times in excitement, then ran forward and took off, flying into the night sky with four claws stepping on the air.

"Wait for me! Also, even if this is a dream, why can cats fly?"

Miss Unicorn spread her wings and took a few runs, then flew into the night sky. The cat playing in the air did not fly fast, and she easily caught up with them:

"Really."

Miss Unicorn complained:

"I accept that I have to compete with others as a lover, after all, Jialina knew you last summer. But as a pet or a mount, I have to compete. Isn't it too stressful to stay by your side?"

"Don't think of yourself as a pet or a mount, you are not an owl."

Shade, who was lying on Mia's back to prevent being thrown out, reminded her, but Miss Unicorn was still very angry that she couldn't even compete with a cat.

Just now she was pushed aside by Mia, so she was flying in the air and bumped into the armored golden cat. The flying cat didn't feel angry, but thought it was a fellow cat playing with itself, so the pure white and golden four-hoofed flying beasts squeezed and "played" under the moonless starry sky.

Although it was a bit inappropriate to say this, this inappropriate playfulness made Flora forget the dream temporarily, and forget that they were about to leave this simple happiness forever.
