The tense atmosphere finally eased because of Bai Xi's words, and Safa's dark expression softened.
He turned his face, and in his pupils was reflected Bai Xi's lowered head, speaking softly, like a little animal unwillingly agreeing to his request, bowing its head to him because it dared not resist at the moment.
Although it felt like he was forcing Bai Xi, there was a strange sense of pleasure in it.
Bai Xi, who had deceived him from the beginning and turned her back on him as soon as she got the chance, and who had no sincerity towards him whatsoever, was now actually compromising with him on this matter. Although she seemed unwilling, she did not seem to harbor much resentment.
Sure enough, my mother was right.
Safa was lost in thought, but he didn't show it much on the surface.
Philomona not only told him about Bai Xi's situation, but also gave him a very important piece of advice, which played a crucial role in successfully winning Bai Xi's heart and getting her to agree to his request.
"Although she usually seems very calm, when it comes to emotional matters, she'll compromise on her bottom line if she feels indebted to you."
"Once you gain her approval, all you have to do is gradually work things out. Her bottom line will be lowered indefinitely because of that permission, and you'll easily win her heart."
Although he didn't approve of Philomona's lifestyle, he had to admit that the succubus, with her rich emotional experience, was indeed very effective.
He only needs to back down a little, and then use the fact that he touched his tail to make Bai Xi feel sorry for him, so that he can make even more outrageous demands, like now.
Of course, the most important reason he chose this wasn't just because Bai Xi touched his tail, but...
He didn't know when it started, but he actually fell for Bai Xi. He didn't necessarily need a partner, but if it was Bai Xi, just thinking about her made him feel blood rush to his heart, a hot and swollen feeling.
"Are you still not satisfied? I thought this would be enough..."
Seeing that Safa didn't speak but stared at her thoughtfully for a long time until she felt a little uneasy, Bai Xi finally couldn't help but ask again.
"No, this is good."
Safa looked at the anxious Bai Xi, and suddenly curled the corners of his mouth. The words that slowly came out of his thin lips finally made Bai Xi completely relax.
"So, can we discuss the Sky Demon now?"
Bai Xi let out a long breath. Just a moment ago she looked like a frightened little animal, but in the blink of an eye she became serious and solemn, as if all her previous behavior was an illusion, and that her compromise with him was just a pretense to deceive him about the whereabouts of the 'Sky Demon'.
This realization almost made Safa laugh in exasperation. Although he had expected it, he still didn't expect Bai Xi to be so good at ruining the atmosphere.
"Can."
Safa uttered two words in an annoyed tone.
"However, it will be difficult for you to find him if you take the initiative to do so. Why don't you stay in the Demon King's castle for two days first, and I will order the demons to go and look for him?"
He thought about it and realized that actively searching was too inefficient, so he simply gave Baixi another option.
"?"
Bai Xi looked at him with a strange expression and did not agree.
Her expression was like that of someone looking at a pervert with twisted intentions, trying to keep her around to do some lewd things. Safa felt the veins on her forehead throb again.
"If you make that face again, I'm breaking my promise and I'll eat you up today."
He gritted his teeth, a sinister expression creeping across his face, startling Bai Xi so much that she nearly fell off the bed, looking as if she were walking right into a trap.
"No, no, no, I believe you!"
Bai Xi quickly waved his hand, afraid that Safa would really do what he said.
Actually, she was already a little regretful. She should have waited until she recovered her strength before coming to Hell with Safa, so that she could have left smoothly. Now she was too restricted and had to worry about whether Safa would suddenly change his mind.
However, considering the power she currently wields, she should be able to take Safa down with her.
Bai Xi's mind was a jumble of thoughts.
To everyone's surprise, Safa once again showed a speechless expression, then suddenly took long strides and walked towards her, startling Bai Xi so much that she immediately closed her eyes again.
The room was quiet; the only sound was Safa's footsteps.
She clenched her fists nervously, feeling the massive body approaching her, bending down, and hearing Safa's helpless voice in her ear.
"Release your magic, and I won't do anything to you. I am, after all, the Demon King, and I will keep my promise to you. I won't touch you until you agree."
Safa almost immediately noticed the light emanating from between Baixi's fingers as he looked down. It seemed that if he really intended to force himself on her, Baixi would probably fight him to the death.
He was clearly courting her, but now it's turned into a life-or-death battle.
"Um...."
Bai Xi clenched her fists subconsciously, and after a long while, she finally hummed in response. She was still wary of Safa.
However, since we're on someone else's turf now, we have to at least maintain a semblance of politeness on the surface.
Safa had no way to change Baixi's mind, so he could only stand up and disappear from the room.
He chose to leave, giving Bai Xi some time to think things through.
Although Bai Xi didn't open her eyes, she could still sense the disappearance of the demonic aura in the environment. She only opened her eyes again when the room became quiet once more.
"..."
Her expression was somewhat blank, her gaze fixed straight ahead.
It should be said that Safa is a demon who keeps his promises, completely different from her, so she should be safe for now.
only.....
Does Safa really intend to date her?
"..."
Things happened so fast that Bai Xi's brain was still a bit short-circuited. Talking about feelings with a succubus felt like a joke.
But that's all we can do for now.
Bai Xi sighed, unaware that on the far other side of the continent of Coral, Ulysses was carrying a letter and approaching the Gates of Hell at an extraordinary speed.
Ulysses is now eager to see Baishi.
He wanted to know whether Bai Xi came from the future, the past, or the present.
Why did the woman he once called 'darling' disappear over the long years, forgotten in the corner of his memory, and even when he received this letter, did he not truly recall the time Bai Xi spent with him?
That's right, the woman who lived with him in the cabin for so long was Bai Xi.
He also learned Bai Xi's real name through that letter.
He also wanted to know what the last sentence of the letter meant.
'I am a person abandoned by time. I have deceived the world, but my love for this world is real, and my feelings for you are real too. If there is another chance, please come see me again, okay?'
