The alchemical golem's spellcasting was quite loud, and Bai Xi almost thought she had misheard. The old Perkin would never have asked such trivial questions.
She shifted her body, her soul just touching Perkin's bare hand.
What's wrong with him? Why would he ask these questions?
However, when he asked, Bai Xi would give him an answer. After thinking for a moment, he used a very appropriate adjective to describe Ulysses.
"A debt collector who's somewhat useful, but also a bit annoying."
That's right. In Bai Xi's eyes, Ulysses was just a debt collector, but he was alright. He didn't kill her directly and even helped her a lot.
[Hopefully there will be fewer vampires with twisted sense of humor in the world.]
Bai Xi sighed silently in her heart.
"?"
The subtle description silenced Perkin as he pondered the closeness of the relationship between Beshi and that pesky vampire.
This description can be both endearing and disliked.
It still made him feel very uncertain.
However, he wouldn't tell Bai Xi any of this. After a while, he gave a faint "hmm" and didn't ask any more questions.
Anyway, since the master calls that vampire 'the progenitor,' he must be quite powerful. If...
Perkin suppressed his speculation; it was just a hypothesis, and there was no need to make a big deal out of it.
"Anyway, let's get out of here first. It would be better if he were dead."
Just as Perkin was imagining various scenarios, Besh suddenly added a sentence.
I'd be really happy if I could get rid of that guy.
Suddenly, Perkin's snake eyes lit up.
This statement indicates that the master truly dislikes him, and that the master shares his sentiments.
He was happy.
The little snake's happy mood was easy to detect, especially since Bai Xi was so close to him; she could sense the joyful aura emanating from him in an instant.
She felt better immediately after saying that.
"?"
This time, Bai Xi was bewildered. What was the principle behind this?
Why does she suddenly become unhappy and then suddenly happy? Is this part of Perkin's personality?
Bai Xi was completely bewildered.
"I am only affected by my master's emotions."
Even while struggling to dodge the alchemical golem's attacks, Perkin still managed to take a moment to speak to Bai Xi.
"?"
Bai Xi froze, and did not respond.
Because she felt the atmosphere was a bit strange.
[What's wrong with Perkin? Why is he saying such misleading things today? Could it be that I've been seeing too many other people's memories and I've developed a romantic mindset too?]
Bai Xi fell into deep self-doubt.
"Does Master not like me saying this?"
Perkin sensed that Bai Xi was unwilling to answer, and his tone immediately became much more subdued.
No, it's not.
Bai Xi felt that if she admitted it, Perkin would definitely be heartbroken, so she ultimately decided against it.
[I must have lost my mind. Instead of thinking about all this, I should be thinking about how to get back. Besides, how could I possibly doubt the pairing I'm rooting for!]
That's right. Although Bai Xi has experienced countless life-and-death situations, she still firmly stands with the God of Light and the God of Darkness.
This is called staying true to one's original aspiration.
She was thinking to herself, but Perkin couldn't understand a word she was saying.
What about the pairing I'm supporting?
What is that?
A look of bewilderment flashed across his eyes, followed by the sound of Bai Xi's inner thoughts continuing to ramble on.
[Sigh, when will I be able to live each day in peace, and even watch the interaction between the God of Light and the God of Darkness in my spare time? What a happy little girl I would be then.]
A heartfelt confession that revealed Bai Xi's true personality caused Perkin's expression to change repeatedly.
He now knows for the time being that he is the reincarnation of the God of Darkness, but what does the interaction between the God of Darkness and the God of Light mean?
What does the master want to see?
[I really ship this couple the most! When Harun becomes the God of Light again and Perkin becomes the God of Darkness again, hehehe, watching my favorite couple's sweet romance is so much more interesting than dating myself~ That's life~]
Bai Xi's mind was still wandering, and her thoughts were starting to flutter.
Little did he know that Perkin was already devastated after hearing this.
A direct critical hit.
"..."
Perkin fell completely silent.
He stiffly lowered his head, looked at Bai Xi whose face was normal and showed no abnormality, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
Judging from her expression, you can't tell how bad she's thinking about something.
The master actually... actually!
I think he and that annoying paladin are a couple!?!
Perkin's worldview collapsed.
In his world, he couldn't understand Bai Xi's thoughts at all.
Bai Xi also noticed Perkin's gaze, and even raised her head slightly to meet his eyes, asking him with her eyes what was wrong.
Why does his mood seem to have changed again? Is he just too tired? I could handle that.
She was thinking to herself, about to speak, when she heard Perkin say something.
"Master, you really..."
He paused inexplicably halfway through his sentence, unable to utter the next word, leaving Bai Xi somewhat bewildered.
"What's wrong?"
She asked.
"It's alright, Master, everything is fine."
Perkin took a deep breath and ultimately said nothing.
They simply endured the storm silently.
It turns out that his owner not only failed to discover his feelings, but also thought he was in a relationship with someone else. He thought he had made it obvious enough, but he still couldn't overcome the cruelty of reality and his owner's strange thought process.
That's right, Perkin originally planned to find a time to express his feelings, but now it seems...
If he speaks up, things will only get worse, and given the owner's personality, she will most likely distance herself from him.
Perkin had witnessed Nesser's fate: indifference, alienation, and the fact that Nesser had almost abandoned him.
He didn't want to pay that price.
There's only one way now: to boil the frog slowly, but we have to be very careful not to use too much force.
But he just couldn't understand how he and that paladin were a good match.
"Are you really okay? I feel like..." You seem like you're about to break.
Bai Xi asked hesitantly, but didn't bring it up, as she was considerate of a man's pride.
Don't force yourself. If you're tired, you can really tell me.
She needed to come up with a tactful way to get Perkin to accept it.
Never say a man is incapable.
As soon as the thought crossed her mind, she felt Perkin's speed inexplicably increase, leaving many of the alchemical golems that were originally relatively close to them far behind.
Perkin is no longer like a firework soaring upwards; its speed has almost doubled.
Bai Xi thought about it for a moment, then shut up.
"Master, I am very strong."
Perkin's voice was tinged with helplessness.
"oh oh."
Bai Xi responded somewhat awkwardly.
Finally, after an unknown amount of time, they got closer and closer to the very top of the starry sky, and Bai Xi finally saw a peculiar-looking device suspended below the very center of the starry sky.
