Rilisa stood beside a vampire and an undead, listening to their conversation, her expression hesitant and unspeakable.
She felt like she had said something wrong, but she didn't know what had happened, so she could only keep quiet for now.
Moreover, this was the first time she had ever seen Her Highness the Holy Maiden so cold.
It seems the vampire on the other side isn't a good person.
In her mind, Rilisa silently labeled Ulysses with a rather unpleasant label.
"It seems my offense has indeed angered Miss Undead. Could you please give me a chance to apologize?"
Even after being harshly rebuked by Bai Xi, Ulysses showed no sign of anger, nor did he intend to leave. Instead, he very gentlemanly tried to gain Bai Xi's forgiveness.
This made Bai Xi's expression even more unpleasant.
"My lord vampire, haven't I made my meaning clear enough?"
Bai Xi's voice suddenly turned cold.
"I hate vampires and I don't like associating with people like you."
Her words were merciless.
As soon as she finished speaking, the air around her seemed to freeze for a few seconds. In fact, if Bai Xi were human, her palms would probably be sweating. She was also very nervous, but she was willing to take the gamble.
That's how I'll get Ulysses to leave.
The worst-case scenario is that he gets angry, and she'll find a way to escape. Anyway, she's no longer the useless novice mage she was at the beginning, unable to even use microscopic magic.
She is now considered a powerful undead queen in the entire Western Continent.
Even if he has little chance of winning against Ulysses, escaping shouldn't be a problem. The only question is how well he's recovered his 'Blood of the Night'.
The more blood he retrieves, the harder he is to deal with, and the more disadvantageous it is for her.
But either of these two possibilities is better than being recognized by Ulysses. She doesn't want a conflict to turn into a life-or-death feud.
Of course, if she could have the ability to kill Ulysses right now, she would definitely do it without hesitation.
etc....
Thinking of this, Bai Xi suddenly remembered something.
The 'Nightmare Crescent' that Little Orange gave her is the weapon that seals Ulysses...
Since her death, she has almost forgotten about it. After all, without the threat of vampires, it's easy for her to forget things that aren't very important.
But now that they've met Ulysses again, things are different.
She needs the Nightmare Crescent now, but where should the Nightmare Crescent be right now?
Bai Xi's mind raced, but her expression remained unchanged, still one of intense dislike.
Ulysses' smile remained unchanged, but even Rilisa could sense that after Baixi finished speaking, the air became heavy, like the prelude to a storm.
The air pressure was very low, as if thunder and lightning were about to strike at any moment.
However, to Baixi and Rilisa's surprise, Ulysses only showed a hurt expression and continued speaking to Baixi.
"It seems that Miss Undead has some prejudice against vampires, which makes me very sad. Miss Undead, won't you give me a chance to try and change your view of vampires?"
Although his words sounded like a plea for forgiveness, his tone was tender, as if he were inviting his lover to a candlelight party.
If it were anyone else, Bai Xi would have thought his words were really cheesy.
However, Ulysses possesses a rich, deep, and sexy voice, as fragrant as Earl Grey tea, coupled with his incredibly alluring and handsome appearance, making it impossible for him to be associated with 'oil'.
Of course, Bai Xi just felt that he wasn't that greasy; he was still annoying.
"No."
Bai Xi refused decisively, but at the same time, she became wary.
Normally, if Ulysses had been treated like this twice, he would have left or gotten angry long ago. The fact that he is still patient enough to ask for her opinion again speaks volumes.
That means he was suspicious of her and wanted to get close to her in an attempt to find out the truth.
"Oh, what a disappointing answer."
Ulysses looked like a pitiful man rejected by a noblewoman from her ball invitation, his face showing sadness that evoked pity.
Of course, this was from Rilisa's perspective. She felt that the Holy Maiden was too cold and indifferent, and that the vampire looked rather pitiful.
From Baixi's perspective, however, she felt that the whole ghost was in bad shape.
Even after saying that, Ulysses showed no intention of leaving.
"..."
Bai Xi was going crazy, but she couldn't show it on her face, for fear of arousing Ulysses' suspicion again.
After a long standoff, Bai Xi finally lost her patience and looked at Ruilisha.
"Let's go."
Then, Bai Xi turned around and left without hesitation. No matter what Ulysses wanted to do, she was afraid that if she stayed with this old monster any longer, she would be torn apart on the spot.
"Yes... um... Miss."
Upon receiving the signal, Rilisa immediately caught up with Bai Xi, but when she subconsciously wanted to address Bai Xi as Her Highness the Saintess, she silently changed her address.
Only Ulysses remained standing there, thoughtfully watching Bai Xi's departing figure.
"It looks so much like it... really isn't it?"
Ulysses' voice wasn't loud, and Bai Xi, who was walking away quickly, didn't hear it. Otherwise, she would have felt a chill down her spine and run away even faster.
The vampire's eyes were lowered, the name of the woman still echoing in his mind.
"Your Highness..."
Ulysses stroked his chin. In this era, theoretically, there should only be one person who can be called Her Highness the Saintess.
In the two years since his awakening, no new saintess has been born in the Temple of Light.
but.....
His appearance and age did not resemble that little swindler at all.
Ulysses was also hesitant, but only for a moment before he looked up and raised an eyebrow.
Anyway, he has already dealt with those few reckless traitors and accomplices. Apart from searching for the 'Nightmare Crescent,' he has plenty of time, so he might as well confirm it.
Furthermore, the human race beside the undead lady is a good point of entry.
Ulysses has lived for countless years. Even though he was sealed away and slept for so long, he still possesses the most profound experience and a terrifyingly deep cunning.
If he wants to scheme against someone, no one can escape.
After only a brief pause, Ulysses took long strides and followed in the direction Bai Xi had gone.
And so, the old monster did not give up his suspicions about the little swindler, and the little swindler's hasty departure was of no use.
At that time, the Bone Lord, who had just issued the wanted notice, had no idea that he was about to be in big trouble.
The old monster and the little liar met.
And the little swindler's target was him.
What awaited him was predictable.
