Another World Witch Training Manual

065. Former Residence of the Water God

Sinley eventually helped Eve unzip her jacket.

Inch by inch, her fair skin was slowly revealed to Xin Lai as the zipper was lowered.

Her smooth, porcelain-like back was tightly wrapped in black bodysuit, outlining an alluring curve, with a subtle fragrance wafting through the air.

The zipper stopped a little above the waist.

Xinlai stood behind Eve, her voice laced with provocation: "Want me to continue helping you undress?"

Eve turned her head and glanced at him, her cheeks slightly flushed, and she awkwardly reached out to push him away.

"Maybe...maybe I should just forget about it..."

The man's breath behind her grew increasingly hot, and Eve vaguely sensed that something was amiss.

She felt bad for neglecting Sin Lai while talking to Lorenz, so she asked him to help her zip up her jacket as a way of comforting her.

But given the current situation, we absolutely cannot let him unleash his beastly nature and delay our important business...

Xinlai didn't press the matter. She nodded naturally, walked to the side, squatted down, and stared directly at her.

"..."

Being stared at so openly made Eve felt extremely embarrassed.

Although she confessed her feelings, Xinlai obviously didn't agree... They are still in a master-servant relationship.

As she pondered this, she pressed down on the hem of her skirt, which was barely hanging at her waist, with one hand, and stretched out the other to block Xin Lai's view.

"You... turn your head away."

As he spoke, he reached out to pull Xinlai's gaze away.

"Hmm?" Xin Lai's eyes darted to the side, "What are you afraid of? It's not like I haven't seen it before."

"..."

asshole……

Eve bit her lip, looking at his self-righteous appearance, and finally let out a sigh of relief.

She lowered her eyes and, under Xin Lai's gaze, slowly took off her long dress.

Her skirt fell to the ground with a thud, and her fair body arched unnaturally, her arms covering her chest and lower abdomen.

"You...you go into the water first, I'll be right there," Eve said, her voice barely audible.

"Hurry, there's not much time left."

Xinlai knew that she was shy and that continuing the stalemate would only waste time, so she obediently gave her a word of advice, tightened the belt around her waist, and then turned and disappeared into the water.

Under the moonlight, only a head remained floating on the lake's surface.

Eve hurriedly took off the hair tie from her wrist, put it between her lips, and neatly tied up her long hair.

Without further hesitation, she didn't even bother to test the water temperature before forcing herself to adapt to the coolness of the lake water and sinking herself into it.

Soon, the lake returned to calm, leaving only a long dress and inner and outer garments on the shore.

Xinlai had already scouted the location during the simulation, and now she was leading Eve in a fast swim towards the ruins.

Although Eve didn't know how he knew where the thing she was looking for was, she still tacitly reduced the water resistance for him, allowing him to have longer intervals between breaths.

Xinlai also kept a watchful eye on things. Although the general direction was towards the ruins, she wandered around several times before finally spotting the rippling darkness in the deep water.

He turned around and pointed ahead. Eve behind him blinked, and the two walked side by side. The true face of the ruins was finally revealed before their eyes.

Upon seeing the ruins, Eve's swimming speed increased involuntarily. She circled the ruins, observing them closely, her eyes brimming with excitement.

Xinlai calmly returned to the giant cauldron in the center, examining how to open it.

Logically speaking, Lorenz should have known how to open this site.

That's how it was originally written in "The Elegy of Asgard".

But now Lorenz is so angry with Eve that he might still be crying his eyes out in the bathroom, so naturally we can't count on him...

Xinlai's gaze fell back on Eve.

Wearing only a close-fitting undergarment, Eve slowly swayed her long legs in the water, her purple eyes intently examining the patterns on the ruins.

She would occasionally reach out and touch the ancient carvings hidden by the water plants, as if trying to identify them or deduce their meaning.

After a while, Eve seemed to have realized something. She quickly swam to the giant cauldron, pressed her palm against the patterns on the cauldron, and slowly activated her magic.

However, seeing her furrowed brows, Xinlai knew that maintaining the affinity with the water element while continuously injecting magic into the cauldron was a considerable burden for Eve.

He swam to her side, placed one hand against her lower back, and gently covered her lips with the other, giving her an inquiring look.

Eve nodded knowingly.

Xinlai didn't hesitate any longer and leaned down to press herself against him.

A few strings of bubbles rose to the surface of the water as their lips met, and Eve's magic began to flow lightly within her.

"Buzzing..."

A low tremor suddenly came from the bottom of the lake.

Out of the corner of her eye, Xinlai noticed that a pale blue light was emanating from the spot where Eve's palm touched, flickering rhythmically.

He quickly stepped back, covered his mouth and nose, and made a gurgling gesture to Eve, making sure not to drain her of her magic at this moment.

Sure enough, without Sin Lai, the black hole that absorbs magic, Eve, who is already affinity for water elements, caused the reaction on the cauldron to become even more intense.

The blue light gradually filled the lines that looked like living things, pumping and spreading like blood until it flowed through the entire body of the cauldron.

"boom……"

The lakebed trembled violently, startling the fish into scattering and causing mud, sand, and shells to surge up, gradually making the lake water murky.

Sensing that the ruins were about to be fully activated by magic, Xinlai rushed to Eve's side, pulled her into his arms, held her waist with one hand and protected the back of her head with the other.

"boom!!!"

A muffled explosion erupted from the bottom of the lake, and in an instant, the two figures vanished from their spot.

"Pfft—whoosh!!"

It was as if a huge boulder weighing thousands of pounds had been thrown into the water, causing waves several meters high to burst up and then fall back into the lake as countless water droplets.

I don't know how much time passed.

"Cough cough... cough cough cough..."

Eve coughed violently.

She suddenly opened her eyes and vomited up the lake water that had been choking her.

Xinlai gently helped her up, letting her lean against her chest. Eve's chest heaved rapidly; she hadn't quite recovered yet.

He gently patted her back, then bent down and asked, "Are you alright?"

Eve took a moment to catch her breath and nodded.

Xinlai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The two had just successfully activated the ruins and were transported to another underwater world. However, this body of water was different from the usual one. Although they were underwater, they could breathe without any hindrance and move freely without any restriction.

He helped Eve sit up and looked around.

Thick stalactites hang down, the deep cave extends into the depths, and aquatic plants, obviously planted by humans, sway all around.

They successfully entered the ruins instance, "The Old Residence of the Water God".

Xinlai had run through this instance many times during the game's development and was extremely familiar with the surrounding environment.

The air now carried a stronger, more pungent smell of mud and sand, and a touch of ancient simplicity, than it did in the game.

"Where...where are we?" Eve gradually came to her senses and stared blankly at her surroundings.

Xinlai felt her forehead and took her pulse. She had no fever and her magic was flowing smoothly.

He felt relieved and whispered, "We've arrived at the place where the manuscripts of the water god Bernis are kept."

Eve didn't reply, her gaze still wandering around.

Xinlai knew that although she was compatible with the water element, wearing wet clothes for a long time would eventually make her catch a cold.

He silently cast the spell without any pre-cast animation, internalizing the fireball technique. In less than a minute, wisps of white steam rose from his body, and his damp clothes were completely dry.

Then he hugged Eve, using the warmth of his body to drive away the chill from her.
