Wouldn't that mean her most important plan was ruined?
It’s not that she didn’t try to reason with Villefort, saying that she didn’t want... couldn’t accept some things, and that at least she should be given some time to buffer. She even used her age as an excuse, saying that she was still young and wouldn’t consider this for a few years.
But Villefort stopped her with one sentence: "Can you bear to see Xiasha become a corruptor?"
As soon as this question came up, Hitzfeld realized that she could no longer hide from Xia Yibing.
Once the emotional logic of a superhuman is deviated, it may cause the mind to be unable to resist the invasion of nightmares and gradually begin to be polluted and corrupted by nightmares. This was pointed out by Ethan on the day she arrived in Wayne.
Xia Yibing often avoided her during that period because she needed some time to adapt emotionally.
it's good now.
She has adapted well. She is serious, ready to get "closer" to me.
Hitzfeld couldn't refuse yet - if he did, the other party might "lose control of his emotions" and might really become corrupted.
"I know... Xia Sha is not that fragile. Don't look at me like that. I can't control your short-term quarrels and I don't want to control them. Right... Of course, she won't have any problems just because you ignored her these few days."
"But—Hitschfeld, what if this continues?"
"She can hold on for a month or two, do you still want her to hold on for a few years?"
"Besides, you are friends after all. Xia Sha doesn't necessarily think that way, right? I think you should at least maintain the most basic contact. You are also a transcendent, and this will be good for your physical and mental health."
Villefort...is a very cunning old man.
After these words, all of Hitzfeld's ways of reversing were blocked.
She had no way of refusing, so she could only agree and take it one step at a time.
But... I don't know whether Villefort wanted to add fuel to the fire deliberately, or the cult really took the evil incident that happened in Nanxinze seriously. Just after dawn the next day, Agent Jones sent a message, asking her to get ready, and they were already helping to buy tickets.
"So urgent?" Hitzfeld was a little surprised. "Oh... I mean, there are some people who want to join me. They..."
"The director said that Agent Ethan and Agent Zafira are currently in charge of other matters and cannot leave. Only Agent Xiasha will be traveling with you this time."
Jones said the words that chilled Hitzfeld's heart in the most polite tone: "Agent Xia Sha is famous for being swift and decisive. She never has much luggage when she goes out (pulling out her pocket watch and taking a look). She may even be on her way here already."
After he left, Hitzfeld was stunned for a while.
Then he jumped up suddenly, rushed to the bathroom, took off all his clothes and started to take a shower.
She was so busy thinking about Xia's affairs and Nan Xinze's affairs that she didn't concentrate on reading any books yesterday and even forgot to wash up!
This must be supplemented. If she doesn't, she can't stand it and feels uncomfortable all over.
So it must be quick.
The work must be completed before the bell rings again.
Twenty minutes later, Hitzfeld came out barefoot in a bathrobe, hid in the bedroom, opened the closet, and began to think about what to wear.
Actually, there is nothing to think about, because her dressing habits are similar to those of the character in "Mickey Mouse". She likes to buy a lot of clothes, shoes and socks of similar styles, and it doesn't make any difference what she changes into.
But Hitzfeld obviously didn't realize this, she took out all the clothes in the closet and picked them out for a long time. Finally, she chose a dress... Although it was longer than the skirt she usually wore, it had an extra layer of white cloth pleated lace on the lining, and there were also a few white lines on the hem of the black long skirt.
This skirt should be paired with a shirt. She first changed into her underwear and put on some warm white silk stockings. She pulled up her skirt, picked up another lace long-sleeved white shirt and put it on.
"A matching set... let me see... a little black dress coat and top... and a scarf?"
Okay, let’s get them all together.
Standing in front of the mirror, she deliberately put on a small black hat.
Looking at the charming girl with bright white teeth who imitated his every move, Hitzfeld bit his lower lip and blushed for some reason.
Caress cheeks and lips.
For the second time since she opened her eyes in this world, she felt that the person in the mirror was a little strange.
"Um...how long are you going to take the photos?"
Hitzfeld's expression froze for a moment. In the mirror, he saw a black-haired woman in black stockings and long boots leaning against the bedroom door frame.
Damn it.
Her face continued to turn redder and redder.
I forgot this bastard walked without making any sound...

Chapter 6 The Knight and the Seagull
In a blink of an eye, the scene changed to a shaking carriage.
Hitzfeld was sitting on his small plank bed, leaning against a pillow, reading a newspaper.
Xia Yibing sat on the window sill, holding a copy of Ah! Seagull in her hand, and occasionally rolled her eyes to observe the girl's movements.
"Do you like my feet?"
Hitzfeld suddenly put down the newspaper, and his blue right eye met her gaze - she was caught in the act of peeping.
"I--"
Xia Yibing's eyebrows twitched, and she instinctively looked at the outline of the girl's slightly bent legs that were supporting the hem of her skirt.
Hitzfeld was sitting sideways, which made her legs come together, exposing her feet and slender ankles wrapped in white stockings.
"..." Xia Yibing looked at them and suddenly she had no confidence to say "How could I be that kind of person" which she had originally said with confidence.
Well, she deserves it.
Hitzfeld was just putting on his shirt when she entered 221 Iris Street, which meant she didn't see anything special.
But... the girl originally came out of the bathroom barefoot, and after changing all her clothes, she still had one flaw: she was not wearing shoes.
Xia Yibing didn't try to defend herself, but - she really wasn't that kind of person - but Hitzfeld's attire at the time was so conservative... a long waisted skirt, a long-sleeved shirt... even a scarf and a hat... but she didn't wear shoes.
It was as if all the rigor and conservatism were paving the way for the feet. She naturally and involuntarily turned her eyes to the girl's ankles.
Watch it turn, revealing the soft curve of the instep.
Watch it stand on tiptoe, revealing a little of the dark side of its soles.
In short... when she subconsciously... didn't think there was anything wrong with what she did... and instead turned around to urge the other person to hurry up, her abnormal gaze was discovered.
Even until Hitzfeld turned around and faced her, she was still looking down, her eyes completely focused on the toes and nails under the stockings, and she didn't even hear him calling her.
"..." Seeing her staring at her feet in a daze again, Hitzfeld quickly pulled up the newspaper to cover his slightly red face.
damn it.
She cursed in her mind.
How come someone as mature and steady as my sister becomes a pervert after just not seeing her for a while?
Her body was stiff, and one could imagine that Xia Yibing was probably still looking at her feet.
Should she tuck her feet under her skirt?
Or should I just pull the quilt over my legs?
Half an hour had passed in this tangle. Hitzfeld's attention was drawn back to the content of the newspaper while he was lost in thought. He didn't know what he was thinking - it seemed that he had forgotten about it.
In fact, Xia Yibing didn't keep staring at it.
She knew that this behavior was very rude, so she only looked up occasionally to admire it, and spent most of the time reading the novel in her hand.
"Ah! Seagull!" is also a chivalric odyssey. But unlike other chivalric odysseys, this book is not about the conventional love story - not even necessarily about love.
It tells the story of two girls, Annaleka and Phil, who live in a farm near the sea. Annaleka has longed for merit since she was a child and dreams of joining the army to defend her country. Phil, on the other hand, has no ambition and is very satisfied as long as she can manage the farm and be a good shepherdess.
The novel spends a lot of space describing the childhood of the two girls. They had such a good relationship that they could understand each other's thoughts with just a glance. They went fishing in the river together, herded together, and sang loudly in the deserted grasslands and canyons together.
The peaceful days lasted until the war came. 16-year-old Annaleka finally decided to join the army, and 16-year-old Phil also supported her. He took out the money he had saved for a long time to give to his friend as travel expenses, and even took out the gold button that his mother sewed in his underwear and gave it to Annaleka. He promised her that she must return safely and come back here to sing together.
In fact, if you read this novel seriously, it is easy to get the feeling that the author is talking nonsense.
There are too many counterintuitive plots... For example, the status of women in the age of chivalry was much lower than it is today, and Phil's reluctance to join the army was not a shortcoming at all... Another example is that Annaleka, a 16-year-old girl who had never undergone systematic training, was able to travel alone with money and successfully join the army - this matter itself was unreasonable.
But Xia Yibing didn't care.
Anyway, she watched it with great interest.
The war lasted for 6 years. Annaleka was brave and good at fighting. In 6 years, she was gradually promoted to the commander of a cavalry unit. In the next decisive battle, she led her troops to break through the enemy's camp, rushed into the barracks and captured the enemy king.
She was rewarded and knighted, and people respectfully called her "Countess of Polivy" - the name of her fiefdom in front of her.
Count Polivy built a palace and castle in the territory, realizing her long-cherished dream. She often wore armor and rode a horse to parade around the city with her subordinates, intoxicated by the cheers and praises of the people.
She completely forgot that there was a small village at the edge of the country, and there was a young girl waiting for her return.
And Phil…she’s been being her shepherdess.
When the battle went badly, the villagers told her: "Annaleka has been captured!"
She retorted to them: "She chases lambs faster than anyone else. It's impossible. She must be lying!"
When the war was at its climax, the villagers told her: "Annalieka died in the battle!"
She retorted: "She promised me that she would come back safely. She is a person of her word. She will not die!"
Later, with the victory of the war, the villagers gradually brought back news such as "Annalieka was awarded the title for her meritorious service", "Annalieka is now Count Polivi", "Count Polivi inspected the territory again today" or "The Count selected boys and girls for fun again today".
Phil was a little shaken. On the one hand, she was happy about her friend's ending, but on the other hand, she wondered why Annaleka didn't come back to her.
They had an agreement, didn't they?
Anna is the one who keeps her promise the most...
So...that Count Polivy must not be her!
This is also false!
The kingdom has returned to peace and even become more prosperous. But Phil insists that the war is not over yet, and Annaleka is still pursuing the achievements in her dreams, and will come back to find her once she has achieved them.
The villagers advised her, but she didn't listen.
Even when there was a storm or a tsunami and the village had to be relocated, she would not leave.
She would guard her farm and her sheep, waiting for her best friend to come back to her.
As time went by, Annaleka grew older.
She had no children, so she adopted several children as her own. The Polivy family was also well-known throughout the kingdom.
On this day, her youngest son was rummaging through the storage room and she beat him up when she found him.
Afterwards, she looked at the scattered armor, stirrups, swords and leather, and gradually recalled the glorious days of the past. She dismissed the servants and planned to clean up everything by herself.
She caressed each item, recalling how it looked when she first got it, with a look of vicissitudes and nostalgia on her face.
Until she touched a torn linen shirt, and when she picked it up, a gold button fell out of it.
Annaleka was stunned.
The button was like the key to her heart, unlocking the past events buried deep in her heart.
"Anna... I sewed this button inside. It won't be noticeable this way, and bad guys won't find it easily..."
"Anna...you will come back, right? I will always wait for you...we will sing together again..."
Annaleka is crazy.
Regardless of her old body, she forced herself to wear the worn-out armor. She returned to her hometown from the territory under the escort of her servants and family members, but she found that there was no village here, only a cliff by the sea.
"Where is the village?" she asked the fisherman.
"Washed away by the tsunami." The fisherman sighed, "This place is very famous because there was a crazy woman who refused to marry or flee, but just guarded her sheep and was washed away..."
Just then, a cry was heard from the sky. Everyone looked up and saw a white seagull circling in the sky.
“By the way, this seagull is also very famous.”
The fisherman said.
"It's alone, and we can't drive it away no matter how hard we try... They all say it's the woman who transformed itself, and that it's waiting for someone to come back and sing with him..."
late at night.
