Whispering Poems

Chapter 3876 Urging Marriage, Long Hair, and Praise

As night deepened, in the courtyard of the Snow Mountain Hall, the young priests gathered around a bonfire to commemorate the warriors who sacrificed themselves in the "Battle of Destiny." Elder Harald and Elder Virda stood at the edge of the courtyard, speaking with Shad and Claire.

Miss Asberg, the "Winter Singer" of the Winter Choir, has just left. She told Shad that they will also be leaving the island tomorrow, but soon the Far North tribe will send people to the island to help the Fatu people rebuild their home.

Furthermore, with the support of the "Callers of Gods" and the "Witch Council," even though they have lost sole control of the snow mountain, the Fatu people have gained far more in the story of destiny than they have lost.

Therefore, although Elder Harald and Elder Virda also mourned the victims, they believed that the Fatu people would become better in the future.

At the same time, they also told Xia De about the current situation of the snow mountain, and said that "Shangquan" has now returned, and the secret medicines that the Fatu people lost can be reconstituted. The "snow mountain water" used to restore spirit will also be more effective than before, so Xia De can come to town to buy it at any time if needed.

"And then there's Claire's matter. Claire has said she wants to stay on the island for a while longer, and she's letting her people handle her mineral exploration business."

Elder Harald asked Shad one last question:
"There were some things I couldn't ask before, but now that the battle is over, you have to answer this question."

What's the problem?

Are you male or female?

Elder Vilda smiled and turned away, not wanting to participate in the conversation, while Claire asked in confusion:

"Grandfather, what kind of question is that? Xia De is of course male, is there even a need to ask?"

The old man wearing the horned hat glanced at his granddaughter:
"You're a witch, aren't you, Claire?"

This was something that had been tacitly understood before, and Elder Harald had never formally asked Claire about it. Now, hearing his question, Claire stammered and didn't answer, so Shad said:

"Yes she is."

"Although the Fatu people are relatively isolated from information, as far as I know, the witches..."

"Yes, they don't get close to men, but I'm an exception. You can think of it as me being blessed by the ancient moon god, which is why I behave so differently. I am indeed male, there's no doubt about that."

The elder nodded in agreement. This old man, with his traditional and conservative mindset, couldn't accept that his granddaughter would marry another woman.
"Then there's no problem—when are you having your wedding?"

"Oh, grandfather!"

Claire blushed immediately:

“If you keep saying that, I’ll take Stella and leave this place tomorrow.”

Elder Harald couldn't help but sigh:

"Claire, you need to take your own affairs seriously. I think even the Elf Queen is interested in the playboy by your side. So you need to hurry up with the wedding arrangements; it's a major life event."

This time, Claire's face turned genuinely red, so Shad grabbed her hand and said to the elder:
“I have plans to get married, but the wedding probably won’t be held on Fatoumunst Island. I will send out invitations. I can’t say for sure when it will be, but it will definitely be within three years.”

Given the current progress of the great prophecy in "Whispering Verses," if the world still exists within three years, Shad will certainly have time to hold his wedding.

"That's good. I'll be waiting for your invitation."

Elder Harald smiled with satisfaction, while Claire had already wrapped her arms around Shad's arm and hidden her face.

As the two bid farewell to the elders and prepared to return to the large ship, Claire asked in a low voice:
"Shad, is it really within three years?"

"Of course you don't want to?"

"Of course I'm willing. I'll be waiting for you. I've remembered everything you said to Grandfather today, so don't lie!"

Claire said, then kissed Shad on the cheek; her flushed face was quite amusing. Shad looked around to make sure no one was out wandering around town at night, then cupped her face and kissed her back.

Back on the ship, seeing that it was getting late, Xia De went to visit the girls who were still recovering from their serious injuries, and then quickly washed up and prepared to rest.

When I finished washing up and came out of the bathroom, besides Mia who had rushed into the bedroom early, Luvia was also there, wearing a pink and white nightgown.

"Shad, the great battle is over, you don't need to be so busy. Look at you running around everywhere today, anyone who didn't know better would think you're preparing for the next great battle."

She came up and put her arms around Xia De's neck, only letting go after Xia De kissed her forehead.

Are you alone tonight?

"Isn't one enough? Okay, I also called Sylvia. She said she'll teleport over directly after midnight."

The girl with purple eyes bent down, picked up the wine glasses that were already filled with red wine from the coffee table, and gave one to Xia De:
"It's almost time for everyone to leave; the time after the year-end holiday really flies."

"After all, time flies by when you're busy every day."

Shade took a sip of red wine, looking at Luvia with her hair down. Since the two became a couple in 1853, Luvia had tried to grow out her originally neat short hair, keeping it long and flowing.

But now, the ends of the brown hair clearly extend downwards past the shoulders:

"You want to change your hairstyle and grow your hair long, right?"

Shade asked and sat down on the sofa. Luvia also sat down, but leaned against Shade's lap. However, she felt uncomfortable in this position, so she handed the wine glass to Shade, then took off her shoes and curled her legs up on the sofa, making it look as if she was curled up in Shade's lap.

"After the battle of destiny, I found that my hair had inexplicably grown longer. But it's not bad to keep growing it long; I see that most of the girls around you have beautiful long hair."

That's because no other hairstyles were popular in this era.

"Long hair."

Luvia, who was being held by Shad, had no idea what Shad was thinking. She continued to snuggle in Shad's arms and chat with him about the witches' future plans and arrangements.

It was already late at night, so as they chatted, Luvia suddenly asked:

"How is Sevi?"

"After advancing to the thirteenth rank, she quickly mastered her new power, the ability of the emotional spectrum born from the Light of the Soul."

“Shad, that’s not what I’m asking.”

Her purple eyes smiled as she looked up at Shad:

"I remember Sylvie is a bit older than Galina, right? You have the 'Destiny Handbook' which shows everyone's real age, and Sylvie... Don't you feel wronged?"

"Of course not, I've said I don't care about age. Besides, Sylvia is actually..."

He leaned close to Luvia's ear and whispered a few words, to which Luvia exclaimed in surprise:
"The witch's perfection is truly remarkable, but is it related to her close relationship with the mermaid? That might explain why... However, changing the sheets is a bit of a hassle. I'd like to invite Sylvie to join me sometime; I'm quite curious about it."

"Luvia~"

The girl with purple eyes giggled and wrapped her arms around Shad's neck:
"I can feel the change in you! Honestly, even though I was the one who initiated the conversation about serious topics, I was wearing a nightgown and you were holding me, and you still had the patience to talk to me for so long, and in the end you even made me change the subject."

Luvia asked in a low voice:
"So, Shad, shall we continue our conversation?"

"Of course we're not going to talk anymore. Since it's getting late, let's go and rest."

So when Sylvia arrived at midnight, the evening's activities had already been going on for quite some time. She appeared in the suite's living room, and had barely settled in when she heard sounds coming from the bedroom:
"The Blood Moon Returns."

Then the crimson moonlight directly pulled Sylvia towards it. The witch didn't resist, but just laughed and complained:

Why are you in such a hurry?

When she saw Luvia's current appearance, she understood why she was "anxious." The young witch, who hadn't been intimate with Shad since the Battle of Destiny, was somewhat frightened, but she couldn't run away now, because even Luvia had grabbed her wrist to prevent her from leaving.

After a few light garments fell onto the carpet, the Great Witch of Space was also pulled up onto it. What followed was laughter and sobbing; after the great battle, everyone wanted to rest for a while, which, while not exactly rest, was still a very pleasant thing.

However, Sylvia couldn't hold on for long. After the night's exercise ended and the girls fell asleep with their arms around Shad's, Shad drifted into that familiar apocalyptic dream.

This was, of course, Luvia's dream, and the long-haired girl was still waiting for Shad on the rooftop.

"You did very well."

She nestled into Shad's arms, but not to discuss the battle of fate:
"Are you sure you don't want me to accompany you on the trip to Mount Karas? I know some things about Mount Karas and the Tower of the Moon, but you've never been there in the stories I've heard. I'm worried that the situation at Mount Karas might be different from what I remember."

"It's alright, even if they're different, there won't be much danger. If you're really worried, I'll have you and Bella do a divination later."

The long-haired girl nodded gently, then repeated:
“Shad, you really did a great job this time.”

"You already said that."

Shad held her and looked up at the black sun with its fiery rays streaming across the dusky sky, but Luvia said:

"Because saying it once is not enough to express all my praise. It's so good, so good that Claire did not die, the main force of the Prophet's Association was not wiped out in the battle of fate, and even the snow mountain still exists, continuing to suppress the nodes of the fluctuating web of fate."

In this way, many thorny problems of the future may never arise. Shad, the world is indeed changing because of you. This time, the world's ending will certainly not be the same as it has been so many times before.
