"well."

Duruso let out a long sigh, a look of reminiscence on his face. He looked at Bai Xi with a somewhat dazed expression, as if he were reminiscing.

Bai Xi pursed her lips; she had already guessed it.

As a primordial elf, Duruso should have initially contracted with Eros. The reason he took the initiative to contract with her might have been to save information and give it to her.

"Anyway, thank you."

Bai Xi nodded and bowed deeply to Duruso.

Their relationship wasn't based on a simple contract. Putting aside respect for the elderly, Eros must have trusted Durousso and considered him a friend.

"It's nothing, it's just..."

Duluso's face was filled with undisguised complexity. He hesitated, then remained silent, disappearing from Baixi's sight once more and returning to her body.

After Duluso left, the elemental spirits in the room finally looked at Baixi. They had all heard Duluso's words and understood Baixi's choice.

"I do."

Before Bai Xi could even speak, Lu Ling was the first to express her opinion.

"The existence of Tartarus is a huge threat to the entire continent. Civilization cannot be cut off. Moreover, it is a matter of mutual dependence. When the continent is completely swallowed up, the Elemental Source Realm will definitely be affected as well. If we want to protect all the elemental spirits, eliminating the Abyss is an indispensable step."

He had a clear understanding of the world, like a middle-aged man who truly saw through reality. His eyes were filled with sincerity as he looked at Bai Xi, which made Bai Xi feel her eyes welling up with tears.

"I...am willing too..."

The little jellyfish lowered its head, clutching Bai Xi's skirt. Its voice was as soft as ever, but with an indescribable firmness, just like the personality it had initially displayed.

No matter what they've been through, they will give 100% of their sincerity to others.

Moreover, he had spent a long time with Bai Xi and could clearly see what kind of personality she had. No matter how much the little ghost complained, it couldn't change the kindness and justice in Bai Xi's bones.

"Hmph, the way you're treating me makes me seem petty..."

The only one with a somewhat dissatisfied expression was the little ghost. He had originally wanted to speak as well, but the other elemental spirits beat him to it, making him seem less like he was doing it willingly and more like he was being forced into it, morally blackmailed. Yet, he clearly wanted to complete the contract with Bai Xi a long time ago.

This was something he had promised Bai Xi beforehand.

"Thank you...."

As Bai Xi listened to their words, she felt her nose getting more and more sore, and her eyes reddened. She rarely cried, but to be trusted so completely by her friends, who were even willing to pay the price of their lives to accompany her through fire and water, was a feeling that would move her deeply at any time.

"Don't cry!"

Seeing Bai Xi's tearful expression, the little ghost's face instantly turned panicked. He waved his hands wildly in the air, nervously afraid that Bai Xi would really shed tears.

"Yes, yes, Bai Xi, don't cry, we're saving the world!"

Luo Yi, still like a little sun, flew to Bai Xi's side, wiped the corners of Bai Xi's eyes, and used a slightly mischievous tone to make the dull atmosphere in the room lively again.

Bai Xi was caught between laughing and crying at Luo Yi's funny expressions, and finally forced back her tears.

"Okay, okay, let's go save the world."

There were glistening tears in the corners of her eyes, but she didn't let them fall. She tugged at the corners of her mouth, reached out and touched Roy's head, just like she had done many times before.

"Alright, once we leave the Demon King's castle, we'll go find our last companion. I just don't know if the last one will be willing to help us."

Leia had a contract with Baixi long ago. He felt a little gratified watching this warm and peaceful scene, so he remained silent until he saw that Baixi and the other companions had finally calmed down. Only then did he speak up about the arrangements to come.

“It’s okay, if he doesn’t want to, I’ll just kidnap him.”

Lu Ling's form is actually that of a child, much like a small jellyfish, but his hoarse middle-aged voice makes the visuals and sound completely mismatched. In addition, his words are sinister, like a gangster about to carry out a kidnapping.

"No, no, no, there must be another way."

Bai Xi was embarrassed and immediately interrupted.

"Besides, elemental spirits are all kind. If he hears my reasons, he shouldn't refuse me."

This is what Bai Xi guessed, but that's all I can tell myself for now.

They chattered away in the room discussing their plans, and after what seemed like an eternity, a knock came from the doorman's office.

"Miss Baixi, the Demon King is looking for you."

The demon servant outside the door spoke respectfully to Bai Xi.

They dare not neglect Bai Xi in the slightest now. Not to mention how much the Demon King values ​​Bai Xi, keeping her in his own room and not even going there himself, the sheer pressure emanating from Bai Xi is enough to make the demons fear her.

Many hell servants have dealt with gods, but none have ever seen an energy being as powerful as Bai Xi.

"Okay, I understand."

A female voice responded from inside the room, and the demon servant breathed a sigh of relief and withdrew.

Bai Xi paused her conversation with the elemental spirits in the room, a thoughtful expression on her face.

"Has Safa found the Sky Demon?"

She couldn't think of any other reason why Safa would contact her.

But there was no point in thinking about it here, so she simply stood up and walked outside.

The elemental spirits cleverly concealed themselves, not intending to appear before the Demon King. They were now powerful energy beings, very easy to detect, and if they got too close to the Demon King, there was a high probability they would be discovered.

The Demon King's castle has a peculiar structure. Most of the place is gloomy and dark, complex and rugged, and has many floors. Compared with the Temple of Light, the sculptures and decorations are ferocious and terrifying, which fits Bai Xi's stereotype of demons.

Bai Xi walked down the third-floor corridor, and the castle hall appeared before her, with Safa standing not far away.

The handsome demon lord extended his hand to her, as if inviting her to a ball. The evil aura on the man's face dissipated, and the bloody cruelty was almost completely covered by his gentle expression, leaving only a trace of tenderness. If one ignored the succubus horns on his head, he was inexplicably captivating.

Bai Xi's heart skipped a beat. She always forgot that something was wrong with her current state. In order to suppress her desire, she closed her eyes and walked towards Safa.

For some reason, even after she closed her eyes, the image of Safa looking at her still appeared in her mind, overflowing with doting and indulgence.

Bai Xi's heart started racing uncontrollably again.
