For some reason, after hearing that voice, Bai Xi felt a lump in her throat and her eyes welled up with tears.
But she quickly composed herself and showed no outward signs of anything amiss.
The current 'Grexus' doesn't know her yet, so acting too familiar would be strange and might even scare him away.
"That's right."
Bai Xi's calm voice cut through the crowd and echoed 'Greshius' beside the forge.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
The calm voice of 'Greysius' came through. Even though she couldn't see his expression, for some reason, Bai Xi felt as if she could see the gentle look on his face. Although it was only the first time they had met, 'Greysius' seemed to be unusually kind to her.
For a moment, Bai Xi even felt a sense of disorientation, as if Perkin was standing not far away.
However, she quickly dismissed the thought. Although they might be the same soul, their experiences and memories were different, and theoretically their personalities would be different as well. Most of the time, Bai Xi felt that they were not actually the same beings.
However, compared to the memories and experiences of the gods, the passage of time is too long, and the memories of ordinary human beings seem so insignificant.
Bai Xi took a deep breath, clearing his mind of the jumbled thoughts. The dwarves around him had already made way for him. Although they were noisy, they still respected the savior.
So after learning that Bai Xi's target was actually 'Greshius', no dwarves blocked her way anymore.
There's something that makes Bai Xi both angry and amused: her height is a real disadvantage, as even short people can block her view.
As the dwarves faded away, Bai Xi finally approached 'Grexius'. The little snake remained expressionless as always, maintaining its cool demeanor from the start. However, Bai Xi would subconsciously glance at the corner of his mouth, just as he had taught her.
He was smiling.
The barely perceptible curve and the faint gentleness indicated that 'Grexus' was in a good mood and even happy about her arrival.
This realization inexplicably brought Bai Xi a sense of joy, and her eyes couldn't help but curve into a smile.
"Aren't you even going to ask me what I'm taking you there for?"
Bai Xi tilted her head back and stood in front of the tall man, her tone tinged with a playful glint that she herself was unaware of, as she couldn't help but tease him.
"You saved me."
'Greysius's' cold and hard expression seemed to soften a little. What he said surprised Bai Xi, and even made her heart skip a beat. She almost thought that the person in front of her was Perkin. If it were in the past, then she could indeed be considered to have saved him.
However, she denied the speculation the very next second.
"when?"
Bai Xi tilted her head and asked.
"When you repelled the abyssal rift, I was at the edge of it. You arrived just in time, before I was about to be swallowed up."
Perhaps feeling that Bai Xi was too tired to look up at him, 'Greysius' simply bent one knee and knelt down, so that Bai Xi could look down at him instead.
Bai Xi stared blankly at 'Greysius's' movements, not quite reacting for a moment, but the scene before her was so familiar and similar that it made her feel somewhat dazed.
It took her a while to regain her composure and understand what 'Grexus' meant.
"Is...is that so...that's quite a coincidence."
Bai Xi thought she was eloquent and that most people couldn't be as quick-witted as her, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to survive such a complex struggle. But the scene in front of her left her speechless.
"Yes, so I will fulfill all your requests."
His tone of voice didn't have much variation, and you couldn't hear much emotion in it, but it was inexplicably captivating, especially when he looked at you with those emerald green snake eyes.
Bai Xi always felt that his snake eyes were like a hunter locking onto its prey, covetous, indifferent, and even cruel. Being stared at must feel terrible. However, the gentleness he couldn't hide completely neutralized that coldness, like an assassin putting down his weapon, like a wolf showing you its belly.
"...Then...come with me."
Bai Xi felt something was wrong with her; the person opposite her, 'Grexius,' was actually stuttering and speaking in broken sentences.
She felt this wouldn't do, so she turned around as if to cover it up and quickened her pace toward the edge of the village, without even considering whether 'Greshius' would be able to keep up.
Of course, this option wasn't in her subconscious.
Because in the past, whenever she called out, the little snake would appear immediately.
The same thing happened again. 'Greysius' looked at Baishe's back and followed without hesitation, completely ignoring the groans of the dwarves around him.
'Greysius' came to the dwarf village to hone his forging skills. The dwarves all thought he was very talented, so even though he was a cold snake, they were happy to accept him.
Contrary to what Bai Xi had imagined, the current 'Grexus' is not actually that unpopular. If a person has extraordinary talent, no matter how special or willful he is, there will always be people who accept him. Geniuses always have the right to be proud.
Meanwhile, Bai Xi's mind had actually cooled down not long after leaving the dwarf village. She slowed her pace and finally stopped in a clearing in the forest.
She turned around.
Sure enough, 'Grexus' was silently following her not far away.
Bai Xi was about to speak, but for some reason, that inexplicable awkwardness came over her again. The words lingered in her throat for a long time before she finally composed herself.
“I don’t want your life, I need you to help me make some artifacts. I’m building a temple.”
Actually, Bai Xi wasn't very willing to say these words. Ultimately, it was a requirement of the world's consciousness, and in the end, the Angel Temple would become a prison that trapped her. So when Bai Xi expressed her needs to 'Grexius', there was a hint of darkness in her eyes that she herself didn't even realize.
'Greysius's' serpentine eyes swept across Bai Xi's face before he spoke after a long pause.
"Is someone forcing the Savior to do something he doesn't like?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Xi's expression froze. All she could see was the tall, imposing figure of 'Grexus,' and all she could hear was the rustling of leaves in the wind. The world seemed to stand still for that one second.
like.....
From the beginning until now, only 'Greysius' has asked this question.
His tone was calm, but it struck Bai Xi directly into her heart.
It took Bai Xi a while to recover. The smile on her lips disappeared, and she lowered her eyes and said softly to him.
"No, this is what I need."
She is lying.
But she couldn't tell the truth about this.
She had her head down and couldn't see 'Grexus's' expression, but she could hear him say it.
"good."
He responded to her very softly and did not ask any further questions.
