When Bai Xi opened her eyes again, she found herself back in the banquet hall, but all the spirits present were focused on her, their eyes filled with a strange fanaticism.
Time seemed to freeze in that second. Without having time to process what she had just seen in that space, Bai Xi's brain was sounding an alarm.
She knew that it would be very difficult for her to escape on her own.
So, Bai Xi shouted in the direction of Safa.
"Safa! I know about your father! Save me now, and I'll tell you everything about your father!"
She didn't actually know much, but she had seen some things in that space just now. Anyway, every little bit counts. If she could get Safa to rescue her, then it wouldn't be a loss.
Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, Safa, who had been playing cat and mouse, suddenly raised his head and looked in Baixi's direction.
As for Kos, who was fighting against him, he was simply crushed to death by him.
The moment Safa met Baixi's gaze, his imposing purple eyes narrowed, and the next second, all the undead in the banquet hall fell into a state of pause.
You could say that time stood still.
Safa used his abilities.
Bai Xi felt a blur before her eyes, and Safa appeared in front of her, radiating a strong sense of oppression. Completely different from his playful anger just now, he was truly enraged.
"explain."
With just one word, a terrifying pressure slammed down on Bai Xi. He was truly furious.
Bai Xi even felt a sense of suffocation. Even though she had become an undead, she still felt uncomfortable. This was the oppressive force brought by Safa.
"I guarantee that everything I say is true."
Bai Xi raised her head and looked at Safa with a determined gaze.
She knew why Safa was angry, and even in the heat of the moment, she shouldn't have joked about Safa's affairs.
Safa assumed that since she was a human, she certainly didn't know anything about the former Demon King.
Therefore, he was very dissatisfied with the fact that he had been forced to take action under the pretext of having information about Safis because he was in danger.
"Oh? Then I'll listen first."
Safa's lips still held a cold glint, clearly indicating that he did not believe Baixi's words.
He wore a half-smile, his emotions unfathomable, his eyes deep and dark, exuding a dangerous aura.
Safa froze time, and everything seemed less critical. Bai Xi's tone naturally became calmer and less hurried.
Do you know about the primordial demons?
She looked into Safa's eyes and spoke earnestly, word by word.
"Um?"
Safa frowned slightly, as if he was thinking, or perhaps he had some understanding of the word.
"I just... I just saw the primordial demon."
Bai Xi tried her best to avoid lying and prevent Safa from finding any fault with her, but she wouldn't tell the whole truth, only revealing part of it.
"What?"
Safa's brow furrowed even more.
“I don’t know what just happened, but I just saw the very beginning of Hell, including the scene of the birth of the primordial demons.”
Bai Xi has great confidence in her memory.
Once you've seen it, you'll never forget it.
"What does this have to do with my father?"
Safa didn't understand what Baixi was saying; it seemed like she was rambling on and on.
"Do you know about the Sky Demon? After the primordial demon fell, the demons who inherited his power, besides your father, included another demon, the Sky Demon."
Bai Xi could only try to keep his words concise, trying to calm Safa down.
Finally, upon hearing her words, Safa's eyebrows relaxed slightly, and his gaze towards Bai Xi regained its inquisitiveness.
What else did you see?
He asked.
"I heard that your father disappeared into a spatial rift. Perhaps... it's related to this Sky Demon?"
Bai Xi tentatively asked, unsure of what to say.
She was very conscientious and switched back to honorifics, focusing on not provoking Safa, thus successfully saving her life.
This statement was entirely fabricated by her; it was merely based on information from the little ghost, plus a little speculation, to give Safa a direction to investigate.
As long as she was given useful information, regardless of its usefulness, the generous Demon King would let her go.
As expected, Safa showed a thoughtful expression and then withdrew his aura.
"Okay, I'll let you off the hook for now."
Saffar's tone returned to the languid one he had when they first met, no longer as ferocious and terrifying as before.
Bai Xi breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, she had Filomona protecting her; otherwise, she would have had almost no choice but to die.
From the moment Safa erupted in rage, she was walking a tightrope.
One wrong step and you could be reduced to ashes on the spot, without even a chance to become a ghost.
The moment Bai Xi relaxed, Safa's long legs had already led him out of the banquet hall. When he realized that Bai Xi was not following him, he turned back and glanced at her, his tone slightly impatient.
"Let's go, didn't you ask me to save you?"
Bai Xi snapped out of her daze and subconsciously glanced at Rilisa.
She still had some questions for Rilisa, and couldn't just leave her there, so she quickly walked over to Rilisa and dragged her away to the entrance of the city lord's mansion.
Safa watched Baixi's moving activities the whole time, his expression somewhat speechless.
The main problem was that after time stopped, Rilisa couldn't move, like a human statue, watching Baixi use magic to drag a living person away, the scene was indescribably eerie.
Safa looked at Bai Xi, who was struggling to get to his side, and couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark to her.
"Do you need me to give you some time to move the rest out as well?"
He was referring to the other living beings in the banquet hall.
Although Bai Xi is now a ghost, it is clear that she still has the heart of a living being.
Safa was just being polite, or you could say he was being sarcastic towards Baixi, but to his surprise, Baixi looked up with delight and asked with an expectant expression.
"May I?"
That's what she asked.
"?"
Safa looked puzzled and fell silent for a long time.
He never expected Bai Xi to be so shameless.
"Is it not allowed?"
Bai Xi looked at Safa without speaking, and then asked tentatively in a low voice.
"...Can."
Safa squeezed out those two words through gritted teeth.
If he were to refuse after being asked that question, wouldn't he be slapping himself in the face? He should have known better than to say that.
"Thank you for the gift, Lord Demon King!"
Bai Xi quickly bowed to Safa, then turned around and became a porter without saying another word to Safa.
And so, Bai Xi cleverly used Safa's abilities to save people.
Safa stood at the entrance of the city lord's mansion, speechless for a long time. He felt that helping would be a loss of face, but not helping would be a waste of time. He felt as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a hundred flies.
But he was still feeling uneasy because he had wronged Bai Xi earlier, and he didn't want to talk.
