Bai Xi's greatest hobbies were shipping couples and reading fanfiction. She especially loved the popular ensemble manga "The Great Ensemble". Then... she transmigrated.
Good news:...
Bai Xi thought that Safa would go back after she left, since she was now carrying out the boss's mission, and as the boss's son, Safa couldn't fight her.
Safa is the demon king of hell, so he definitely doesn't have time to waste here with her.
To her utter surprise, Safa actually followed her, showing no intention of leaving, and stayed with her wherever she went.
Even if you ignore him, Safa continues to do as he pleases, showing no sign of anger.
And his gaze was also very strange.
Finally, after being stared at countless times, Bai Xi could no longer bear it.
"Demon King, are you bored and have nothing better to do than follow me, a mere cannon fodder, all the way?"
She turned her head, revealing a forced smile, and tried to speak in a calm tone.
This is ultimately the territory of the undead. A demon that looks very powerful is swaggering around in the city of the dead. It's not impossible that we'll be watched, or even besieged later.
Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts.
The same applies to the undead race.
The demon was too conspicuous. In addition, Safa usually showed his bone wings when he appeared, but this time he concealed them, leaving only the unusually distinctive horn on his head, which was the succubus horn.
It's easy to mistake him for a male succubus rather than a demon king.
Bai Xi, a female human undead, was followed all the way by a male succubus. The things that can be imagined in this scenario are enough to write a short erotic novel of ten thousand or eight thousand words.
It's likely that some undead will think that times have indeed changed, and succubi are now so hungry that they'll even prey on the undead.
With all these factors combined, Bai Xi couldn't take it anymore and wanted to provoke Safa with words to get rid of him.
To everyone's surprise, Safa simply crossed his arms, looked her up and down, and then slightly curled the corners of his lips.
"Cannon fodder? That's an interesting description, but in her eyes, you're anything but ordinary."
Bai Xi knows who Safa is talking about without even mentioning the name.
"It's just that it happens to have some use. If you're not going to pursue the matter now, you should go back to Hell sooner rather than later."
Bai Xi did not feel proud of her own specialness because of this statement.
She has always had a clear understanding of her own position.
In fact, she had no other choice in this matter. Even if she didn't want to save the Elemental King or the Elemental Origin Realm, she probably wouldn't have been able to refuse.
It was just a coincidence that what Filomona wanted was exactly the same as her goal.
This also meant that Bai Xi didn't feel the pain of being controlled, but rather felt more motivated.
It has to be said that, as a pawn, she was relatively lucky, at least her plans aligned with those of the big boss.
"Coincidentally, there's nothing much happening in Hell lately, and I'd like to take a break for a while."
Safa raised an eyebrow, but didn't move an inch. His tone was lazy and leisurely, which was infuriating.
He had long been aware of Bai Xi's ability to change her expression, or rather, he had known about parts of her true nature even when she was still human.
Now that there is no longer a threat to her life or the constraints of the contract, Bai Xi is more unrestrained and her attitude towards him has become more genuine, closer to her original inner thoughts.
This is interesting.
Safa wanted to observe this human chosen by his mother more closely.
Maybe we'll discover something even more fun.
"...So you've chosen to follow me?"
Bai Xi was speechless.
"According to the information Carlo has gathered, you live a very fulfilling life every day, and many thrilling and exciting things happen that you, as the Demon King, have never experienced before."
Safa didn't seem to be joking when he said this; he sounded quite serious.
Bai Xi fell silent immediately.
It's a really painful thing to say. Her daily life-or-death races and desperate struggles for survival are, in the eyes of the Demon King, like a roller coaster for amusement park rides.
But what's infuriating is that Safa's idea is real; that's the difference between the strong and the weak.
The truth left Bai Xi speechless.
"Please do as you please."
After a long while, Bai Xi seemed to have lost all strength and means to resist. He sighed deeply and gave up the idea of ​​persuading Safa to leave.
She couldn't control the boss's actions, so she could only do her best.
As expected, she was still not strong enough.
This incident didn't make Bai Xi feel too frustrated, but her obsession with becoming a god only grew stronger.
Aren't you angry?
Safa was somewhat surprised to see Baishi calmly turn around and prepare to continue walking forward.
Humans are a fascinating species. They can feel anger and resentment when they find out their privacy is being investigated, but Bai Xi didn't. She was frighteningly calm.
Humans may pretend and not show their emotions, but the essence of the soul doesn't lie; it will still reveal traces of annoyance.
But Bai Xi felt nothing at all; she couldn't feel it even a little bit.
He had Carlo investigate all information about Saintess Maggie, including both important and unimportant details, which should be enough to enrage a human.
"What's there to be angry about?"
Bai Xi didn't stop walking, her gaze sweeping across the streets inside the Necromancer's City, searching for the entrance to the City Lord's Mansion, which was also the residence of the Bone Lord, while she only gave a perfunctory reply.
She doesn't really care about being investigated, after all, in the modern era of big data, humans have no privacy whatsoever.
Don't even mention that Safa is a demon lord; if you want to know about her daily life as an ordinary person, it's a piece of cake.
Getting angry only wastes time.
"You really are a... interesting and wonderful human being."
It was hard to describe his feelings, but as Safa watched Bai Xi's retreating figure, his eyes lit up, like a deep amethyst illuminated in the darkness, carrying a bewitching quality.
Every reaction from Bai Xi exceeded his expectations.
"To correct you, it should be 'undead'."
After hearing this, Bai Xi thoughtfully corrected Safa's statement.
As a human who has been completely transformed into an undead, Bai Xi does not believe she has any chance of becoming human again.
She wasn't even a lich with a physical body, but rather a spirit closer to a ghost.
In other words, she doesn't even have a physical body to be resurrected, whether dead or alive, so resurrection becomes nonsense.
but.....
Although there was no precedent for the dead becoming gods, Bai Xi still didn't want to give up. What if she succeeded?
The undead calamity was resolved before the battle for godhood, and even the most powerful undead had no chance to participate in the war of gods, so this path can only be considered as one that no undead have ever tried.
It's not entirely impossible.
"...You seem to have adapted to your death quite well."
Safa was taken aback by Bai Xi's remark and fell silent for a while before finally uttering a remark that was hard to tell whether it was a complaint or sarcasm.
