"You intend to return to human territory?"
Ulysses followed Bai Xi for five whole days before he finally figured out what she was planning to do, but he was still somewhat surprised after learning what she wanted to do.
If Bai Xi intends to return and expand the undead forces, that would be understandable.
After all, the dead all share similar desires.
If he's in a good mood, he might even lend a hand and personally train another undead Scourge creator who can match Congreve, which would be quite interesting.
At least for Ulysses, who had little sense of good and evil and loved bloodshed, it was very interesting.
But Bai Xi's purpose was completely different from what he had imagined.
She actually wanted to go back and disguise herself as a human, and she didn't want to cause any killings. She just wanted to go back and do something.
Perhaps it's to finish something I didn't finish while I was alive, or maybe it's something else entirely.
But no matter how you look at it, it surprised him.
"That's right."
Bai Xi nodded.
She never hid it, since it didn't matter if she was found out anyway.
"You're really something else..."
Ulysses had seen many humans who had become undead, but very few undead, like the woman before him, were willing to restrain their instincts; he had almost never seen one.
"I just still have some humanity left."
Bai Xi's tone was indifferent, devoid of any emotion.
She often feels that her emotions are slowly disappearing, from a very long time ago, but when she actually encounters something she can do, she will still subconsciously do what is defined as 'just' and 'kind'.
"Yeah...."
Ulysses did not press further, but instead rubbed his fingertips together, a thoughtful expression on his face.
"Speaking of which, I've always been curious about how you vampires exist."
Bai Xi always remembered the scene she saw in that illusion. Ulysses was like an anomaly, like a zombie from Resident Evil, but he was still conscious.
Consciousness should be bound to the soul. Without a soul, there is no consciousness; it is merely an empty shell that does not react, even if it has life.
Therefore, Bai Xi has always felt that vampires are very magical creatures.
Ulysses is not even killable; he can infect other creatures, turning them into beings like him.
How can it not be considered a pathogen?
"You want to study me?"
Ulysses easily received Bai Xi's strange gaze; he could clearly see the probing look in Bai Xi's eyes.
"Not at the moment."
Bai Xi answered in this way.
The implication is that if she had the ability, she would definitely give it a try, but unfortunately, she can't right now.
"?"
Although Ulysses had witnessed Bai Xi's audacity before, she was the only one who dared to speak to him like that so far.
Even when facing his immense pressure, she never backed down.
Even if you can't beat them, you still have to gain the upper hand verbally.
"In short, if the Ancestor is free, he can also help me with a small favor."
Suddenly, Bai Xi looked as if she had discovered something, and turned to Ulysses with a serious expression.
"Huh? What?"
Ulysses had been ignored by Bai Xi for the past few days, so he was a little taken aback when he suddenly heard her say that.
“You have a crow, and it’s quite powerful, so it’s perfect for being my sparring partner.”
Following that, Bai Xi listed out how good her proposed plan was, including its advantages and the difficulties in implementing it.
"You...you really are..."
Ulysses, who had never been treated as a tool before, felt a subtle emotion welling up inside him.
"So, is that okay?"
Bai Xi said calmly.
She said that because Ulysses hadn't asked her for anything these past few days, nor had he shown any aggression. Seeing that he was bored out of his mind, she decided to give him something to do.
Although there is a 99% chance of being rejected.
Or rather, Bai Xi didn't expect him to agree.
To her surprise, the vampire simply raised an eyebrow and agreed to her request.
"Can."
As soon as she finished speaking, a look of surprise flashed in Bai Xi's eyes.
However, she certainly wouldn't refuse such a good opportunity.
Now that Safa is gone, no one can control her out-of-control behavior. We can't expect Rilisa to stay, and there's a very high chance she'll tear Rilisa to shreds herself.
However, now that we have Ulysses, we can definitely make good use of him.
"But are you sure you want my help?"
Ulysses asked with great interest.
He seemed to have discovered something fun, or perhaps he had thought of something amusing, but Bai Xi guessed that he was most likely thinking of a scene where he would tease her.
"Sure."
Bai Xi didn't care at all; as long as she didn't die, it wasn't a big deal.
Rilisa listened to their conversation from the side, her expression strange and indescribable.
She had been speculating about the relationship between Bai Xi and Ulysses for the past few days, but for some reason, the more she listened, the more ambiguous it seemed.
Considering the level of intimacy between Baixi and Safa before.
Ririsa felt she had discovered something incredible.
...
Although the plan was proposed by Bai Xi, in practice, Ulysses proved to be much more experienced than her.
They even arranged a special training program for Bai Xi.
"Now it's my turn to ask you, are you sure this is okay?"
Bai Xi asked with a blank face.
"Can."
Ulysses, however, seemed completely oblivious to anything amiss, and spoke with utmost seriousness.
"You should take the crow..."
Bai Xi had a feeling that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
"Isn't it a good choice for you to make me your target?"
Ulysses said this.
"..."
Indeed, Ulysses, who is bound to living beings, is a very large target. If she attacks Ulysses, there will be no killing.
However, compared to releasing the crows and having Ulysses intervene to stop her, this situation was far less serious.
"Since I'm asking for your help, I'll do as you say."
Bai Xi put aside her strange feelings and decided to trust Ulysses.
Then... Ulysses disappeared before her eyes.
The next second, Bai Xi seemed to smell the scent of life. Like a wild beast that had lost its mind, she ran straight toward the direction where Ulysses was.
A thirst for killing boiled within his soul.
Ulysses did not go far; he simply found a secluded corner and waited for the girl, driven by instinct, to throw herself into his arms.
And indeed, things turned out exactly as he had imagined.
The moment Bai Xi appeared in his sight, she didn't hesitate at all and ran straight towards him, her eyes filled with a morbid excitement, devoid of any luster, only a murderous desire.
"It's really...beautiful."
Ulysses chuckled softly, offering a heartfelt compliment.
He liked Bai Xi's expression, the look of desire that made him... somewhat obsessed.
