Just when Bai Xi was about to give up, a cold body suddenly pressed against her back. A chilling aura filled the room, instantly bringing Bai Xi back to her senses.
The smell of blood filled her nostrils; even without looking, she knew who was behind it.
One of her arms was grabbed and raised by the person behind her, whose lazy, deep voice carried a hint of mockery.
"What is this, Miss Liar?"
Ulysses's knowing tone instantly infuriated Bai Xi, but she was currently sandwiched between two men, making it difficult for her to move. Casting magic could easily injure Haranther, so she was unable to act.
Bai Xi, with the character '井' above his head, spoke in a sinister tone, devoid of any goodwill.
“Ulysses, did I say that if you show up again, I will take action against you?”
She was no longer the undead who was at the mercy of others in the Western Continent and completely unable to defeat Ulysses. Bai Xi was so angry that she almost laughed.
It seems that she really poses no threat whatsoever in Ulysses' eyes.
I will make you suffer today.
Bai Xi thought through gritted teeth.
Harlanthel, who was standing in front of her, remained silent, but in reality, he was constantly vying with Ulysses, trying to take Baixi away. He was already annoyed that he hadn't noticed the vampire's presence earlier, and now that he still couldn't take her away, Harlanthel's vines were flailing wildly around the room in his anger.
"Didn't you hear? My sister said she hates you."
Finally, Harlanser gritted his molars and spoke in the darkness.
Two pairs of red eyes stared at each other in mid-air across Bai Xi, sparks flying as they clashed in the air, a sight that even Bai Xi could feel.
Harlanser was furious. She had finally gotten a chance to gain her sister's approval and become her sister, but a vampire had interrupted her, and this guy even tried to steal her away.
"Little kid, it's not your place to speak."
Ulysses narrowed his blood-red eyes and issued a threat to Harlansel.
Vampires are essentially no different from beasts, so in his eyes, Harlanthal is also a competitor who hinders him, and it is only natural that he wants to drive him away.
He was already annoyed that this brat had snatched Bai Xi away before he could, so he was even less likely to be in a good mood now.
Bai Xi was caught in the middle, like a sandwich filling, and her anger grew stronger and stronger.
She has the power; she wants to blow this place up.
If they were to blow this tower away, no one would survive.
[It's blown up! It's all blown up!]
She was internally frantic, but only in her mind; there were many innocent magicians involved, and she didn't want to implicate others.
Finally, in the pitch-black room, Bai Xi twitched her eyes and made up her mind.
"Nesser, you go first. I have some things to say to the vampire."
She thought.
This farce ends here. I must settle accounts with Ulysses in the final moments.
Yes, she's preparing to make a move against Ulysses.
"What?"
Harlanthal's expression froze on his face. He never expected that his sister would actually send him away and leave him alone with this vampire. Although the inner thoughts he heard seemed to mean something else, he was unwilling to leave like this no matter what.
Wouldn't that make this vampire look down on you?
The ambiguous and tender atmosphere in the room just now completely disappeared, leaving only awkwardness and coldness.
Ulysses naturally heard Bai Xi's thoughts and understood, but he had no intention of leaving. If it would be good for the con artist to vent her anger, he wouldn't mind letting her beat him up.
Besides, it's perfect for getting back at this brat.
The three had different ideas, but in the end, Harlanser compromised. With red eyes, he turned and left the room, leaving only Baixi and Ulysses behind.
He thought.
If I don't listen to my sister, she'll definitely hate me.
Haransel released Baixi, and Baixi was finally able to take two steps forward, keeping a safe distance from Ulysses.
She finally had time to focus all her attention on Ulysses. Although it was dark, they could both see each other clearly.
Strangely enough, she didn't actually have much desire for Ulysses, perhaps because she couldn't think too much about the corpse?
Strange thoughts flashed through Bai Xi's mind, but on the surface she remained calm and said...
"If you're so persistent with me because of that letter, then I think that's a mistake on your part, because right now I only feel resentment towards you, not affection."
"You don't understand what feelings are at all. You're just curious about me, not that you really like me."
There were some things that needed to be clarified. She wasn't sure what had happened between Eros and Ulysses, but she was determined to get revenge today, which was why she asked so frankly.
"No, even without that letter, the con artist herself is attractive enough to me."
Ulysses denied her guess, his blood-red eyes seemingly filled with seriousness, which made Bai Xi's heart tremble.
However, this was not enough to shake her resolve.
"I'm sorry, I can't give you any response."
Bai Xi refused without hesitation.
Silence fell over the air, and Ulysses' eyes darkened. No one knew that his heart, which should have stopped beating, actually felt pain after hearing those words, as if being rejected by this woman was something that would cause a vampire great suffering.
He clearly no longer felt pain.
Ulysses lowered his eyes, concealing the stinging emotion within them. This shouldn't be an emotion he would feel. He opened his mouth, about to speak.
The next second, he felt a sharp blade pierce through his chest.
His eyes widened slightly, and upon closer inspection, he realized that what had pierced him was not a sword or knife, but... a cross.
'Nightmare Crescent'
The only weakness he had been searching for.
Although he won't die, if he's sealed by the 'Nightmare Crescent,' he'll never wake up unless someone removes the cross.
Unlike having his blood drained, he could no longer use blood to create curses or manipulate blood servant puppets. He could only wait in endless darkness for a light that might never come.
Ulysses wasn't surprised at all, it's just a pity...
"..."
Bai Xi's hand trembled almost imperceptibly as she clutched the 'Nightmare Crescent.' She kept looking up at Ulysses's expression, but instead of anger and shock, she caught sadness.
She looked like she was saying goodbye.
"I never imagined that the con artist would hate me so much..."
He reached out and stroked Bai Xi's hair. He could feel Bai Xi's tense nerves, which were a sign of her wariness towards him, but he still wanted to touch her.
His tone sounded both relieved and helpless.
"I should be angry, but I don't know why I'm so sad..."
After he finished speaking, his hand went completely limp and slid down beside Bai Xi. The room returned to silence, leaving only Bai Xi standing empty-handed beside the collapsed Ulysses, with the 'Nightmare Crescent' still stuck in his chest.
