Chapter 423 Winter?!
Chapter 423 Winter?!
Spring nodded and smiled: "Uhm! Autumn, don't worry, I won't try too hard."
"Oy! Help me!"
Suddenly, a voice rang out, startling Autumn and Spring. Autumn immediately realised whose voice it was; she quickly said: "It's... Summer's voice."
Autumn and Spring quickly stood up, then ran towards Summer's voice.
A moment later, they saw Summer helping Winter, both staggering towards the house that God had built.
Autumn quickly ran over and helped Winter: "What happened?"
Summer didn't know how to explain at this time; she stammered and said: "This... I... I don't know either. Winter was standing next to me; she was practicing when she suddenly fell to the ground."
"Then... she suddenly said she was cold... Her body also started to have a thin layer of ice."
"I didn't know how to handle it, so I brought her here to ask God to save her."
Hearing that, Autumn frowned and lowered her head to look at Winter. In fact, as Summer said, Winter's body was covered by a thin layer of ice, emitting an extremely terrible cold.
With every breath she took, a stream of white smoke was blown out of her nose. It seemed like she was slowly turning into a block of ice.
Autumn frowned, raised her right hand, and a purple centipede crawled out of her sleeve, and it immediately bit the back of Winter's hand.
A moment later, the centipede suddenly struggled extremely violently, then got scared and crawled backwards into Autumn's sleeve.
Autumn sighed and said: "It's not good; we have to find God."
Autumn brought Winter inside the house and sat her on the sofa. Lathel also approached at this time. He thought that Autumn could cure Winter, so he did not appear quickly.
But in the end, Autumn couldn't cure her, which made Lathel a bit surprised.
Although Autumn uses insects, especially centipedes, they have the ability to absorb poison or predict the body condition of the person bitten by them.
The centipede can even analyse the type of toxin that the person being bitten is infected with; from there, the centipede's body will produce a temporary antidote.
If that centipede is afraid of the coldness of Winter's body, it means that Winter's condition is very critical.
Lathel was confused when he approached and saw Winter almost turn into a block of ice.
'Strange... Where did the problem occur? Viva also said that the energy in everyone's body is very stable and that there will be no problems.'
Autumn now walked up to him and whispered something into his ear that startled him.
Lathel looked towards Autumn and confirmed again: "Are you telling the truth?"
Autumn nodded firmly: "Lathel... God, please trust me."
"But…" Lathel faltered.
Autumn glanced at Spring and Summer standing behind, looking at them worriedly, and said: "You guys go out first; I have something to tell God."
"Heh?!" Summer frowned: "Autumn, is there something we can't hear?"
"Okay…" Autumn walked up to Summer and smiled to reassure her: "Don't worry, it's just a small thing. I'm here, Winter will be fine."
"However… this is a bit of a secret; you and Spring should go somewhere else for a bit. After Winter wakes up, I will call you."
Summer glanced at Winter, then looked back at Autumn, her face filled with worry: "Okay... if you need any help, call me."
"Of course." Autumn smiled and patted Summer's head.
Summer pouted, avoiding Autumn's hand: "I've grown up; I don't want to be patted on the head anymore."
After that, summer left with spring. However, when leaving, Spring turned to look at Autumn with eyes full of confusion.
At this time, only Autumn, Winter, and Lathel remained in the room. Autumn closed the door, confirmed that no one was peeping, and then walked to Winter's side.
"There's no need to pretend anymore, Winter. There's only me, you, and God left here."
Hearing that, Winter slowly opened her eyes, the thin layer of ice covering her body also slowly cracked, then disappeared.
Her face didn't carry much emotion, but her eyes showed confusion: "How did you know I was pretending?"
Autumn smiled and said: "Winter, you always practice alone, in a place where no one can see you. However, this time you came to Summer's side to practice."
"Besides… I don't think it's such a 'coincidence' that there would be a problem the first time you practice with Summer."
"Besides, my centipede can transmit information to me; it says that your body is very normal. So... the ice covering the outside can only be explained as something you created yourself."
"I was wondering… why did you do that? For what purpose? If I and everyone else can't help you, who can help you?"
"There is only one answer… God."
Winter heard that and sighed: "I didn't think you were this smart, Autumn."
Autumn: "…"
"Alright." Lathel sighed and said: "Winter, what is your purpose?"
Winter looked towards Lathel, frowned, and said: "I... don't you hate having another woman serving you?"
Lathel: "…"
He didn't think that Winter could talk about it easily; her face didn't even show any emotion.
She resembled Akna a bit; however, when Akna talked about it with him, she also had a lot of embarrassed expressions.
But Winter is different; she sees it as a very normal thing, so normal that she doesn't even show any emotions when talking about it.
Lathel shook his head and said: "Sorry, Winter. That is not something you can talk about so simply."
"Why?" Winter tilted her head and asked in confusion: "Because Autumn is the smartest and most beautiful?"
"This…" Lathel shook her head and replied: "No, the problem is… she really likes me. You seem to be merely curious."
Winter bowed her head, then raised her head again, walking in front of Lathel.
"You…"
Before Lathel could say anything, Winter grabbed his hand and placed it on her chest.
Lathel: ( ;  ̄ Д  ̄ )
Autumn: Σ (°ロ ° )
Neither Lathel nor Autumn thought Winter was that bold.
"I… How do you feel?"
"Very soft… Ack! I… no, I mean… What do you want to express?" Lathel hastily corrected his words.
Winter shook her head and said: "I don't know. I just feel my heart beating very fast every time I look at you. When I don't see you, I feel extremely bored and don't want to practice."
"I feel… as if Autumn and I have something in common, that is, we want to sacrifice this body for you."
Lathel: "…"
He also felt a bit tired, not knowing how to explain to Winter.
Autumn now walked to Lathel's side and said in a low voice: "God, let me talk to Winter for a bit."
Lathel glanced at Autumn, then returned to her room. He didn't know how she would talk to Winter, however, he also didn't want to make Winter regret it.
He could feel that Autumn really liked him; that's why he accepted her feelings.
Winter is different, she is like a child who is curious about something new. If, in the future, she meets someone who interests her more, she will regret her decision that day.
That's why he hesitated.
Lathel sat in a chair in his private room, looking outside through the window.
A moment later, there was a knock on the door.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
"Come in!" Lathel spoke up.
The door opened, and Autumn carrying Winter stood in front of the room.
"You…"
Before Lathel could speak, Autumn spoke up: "God, please be gentle with her."
Autumn smiled and pushed Winter into the room, then closed the door and left.
Lathel: "…"
Of course, he knew what Autumn's intentions were; it's just that he was a little confused.
"Have you really decided?
Winter nodded: "From birth, I decided to dedicate my life to God."
"But this matter is not what you think."
"Other than death, I feel that everything is your grace for me."
Lathel heard that, sighed, and said: "You will regret it."
Winter shook his head: "Never. If one day I regret it, it means I am not worthy of his love."
Lathel patted his thigh. Winter also understood what Lathel's intention was, so she went over and sat on his lap.
Unlike Autumn, Winter's body carries a bit of cold; her skin is very soft but also very cold.
She was like a block of ice in human form. Although she was not warm, she gave him a new feeling.
"God… do you hate me so much?"
"Why do you ask like that?"
"Because my body is very cold… not as warm as Autumn."
Lathel sighed and said: "Don't say that; everyone has their own characteristics, but that's what I like about you."
"What do you mean…"
"When I'm hot, I just need to hug you."
"Pff!" Winter couldn't help but smile, her smile was extremely beautiful, like sunlight, instantly dispelling all the coldness.
"You smile so beautifully."
Hearing that, Winter bowed his head: "But... I don't know how to laugh."
"Then... Do you want me to teach you?"
"God…"
