The blood magic targeting vampires all originates from the light element, specifically the trajectory-level magic 'Blood Restraint'.
This is the highest level of magic that Baixi can currently unleash without paying any price.
But the result was far worse than she had imagined. In fact, every attack she made was aimed at the old monster's key weaknesses, but in the actual fight, she could only break through its armor.
In battles between strong individuals, superficial injuries are completely negligible.
More importantly, her irrational behavior also revealed that she was not an ordinary undead, as ordinary undead do not possess magic.
And she can even use light magic.
This essentially exposes her similarities with Maggie once again, and Ulysses, being so intelligent, will definitely become suspicious.
Bai Xi felt annoyed at her irrational behavior just now, but she couldn't say she regretted it. After all, she was really angry just now, and even though she knew that Ulysses was unkillable, she still attacked.
Bai Xi was brainstorming, but her facial expression remained unchanged, as she always was.
Despite being offended by Bai Xi and suffering a wound, Ulysses was not angry at all. Instead, he lowered his head and looked at his tattered dress.
He then extended his long, slender fingers with distinct knuckles and gently wiped the blood from his face.
In just a moment, the tiny, insignificant wound disappeared completely. If it weren't for the remaining tear in his clothes, you would never have known he had just been injured.
The handsome vampire, dressed in a battle-damaged formal suit, stood before the undead girl.
The girl was filled with murderous intent towards him, but he inexplicably curled the corners of his mouth and chuckled softly.
"It seems that Miss Undead's claws are quite sharp."
He spoke slowly and deliberately, still maintaining the good-natured aristocratic demeanor, seemingly unconcerned even though his clothes were somewhat disheveled.
Ulysses's gaze towards Baixi was never that of an equal opponent, but rather that of a wildcat that had extended its claws in anger, injuring Baixi but posing no threat whatsoever.
His blood-red eyes narrowed as he looked at Bai Xi's hand.
For no apparent reason, a chill ran through Bai Xi's heart.
For some reason, Bai Xi understood his gaze, which was as cruel as that of a human being.
What do humans do if they are scratched by a cat?
It will pull out the cat's claws.
The atmosphere was tense and suffocating, and Bai Xi was on edge. Ulysses' good temper was probably just the calm before the storm.
Even if she's incredibly oblivious, she still needs to be prepared to run away.
However, just when Bai Xi thought Ulysses would erupt, he changed to a lazy voice and gave Bai Xi a half-smile.
"But Miss Undead killed my pet and attacked me. Isn't that going too far?"
He acted like a playboy, as if he were flirting with Bai Xi.
This instantly darkened Bai Xi's face and greatly surprised Rui Lisa.
The atmosphere was so tense, it looked like they were about to fight, but now they're having this almost flirtatious conversation. Anyone would be stunned.
"..."
Bai Xi was almost rendered speechless, feeling like she was punching cotton; it would have been better to fight.
It felt like I had a lump in my throat that I couldn't release, and I felt uncomfortable all over.
"So what do you want?"
Despite her vision going black, Bai Xi forced out the words through gritted teeth, summoning the patience she had cultivated over the past twenty-three years, including the two years she spent as Maggie.
Logically speaking, it should be a good thing that the big boss is willing not to pursue the matter of her slandering him, but the strange atmosphere is really unbearable for her.
It wouldn't even be as satisfying as the old monster directly confronting her and saying he recognized her.
Being stuck halfway down, neither up nor down, is like getting limp halfway through sex.
"Shouldn't I get some compensation?"
Ulysses raised an eyebrow, speaking with an air of self-righteousness.
"?"
Bai Xi's curses were about to spill from her lips, as if she were about to slap Ulysses, but as soon as she reached out, she was licked, making her feel disgusted and like ants were crawling all over her body.
Do you really care about those two crows?
Not wanting to break off relations, Bai Xi could only ask with a forced smile.
"Oh? What? Does Miss Undead know me very well?"
Ulysses did not answer Baixi's question, but instead seized on the loophole in her words, looking at her with even more mockery in his eyes.
If he were human, he would definitely be a very loving person. Even if the kitten scratched his arm, he would still patiently comfort it.
However, his self-righteous tolerance was as unpleasant as swallowing a hundred flies in Bai Xi's eyes.
"I don't know."
Bai Xi chuckled inwardly, but denied it outwardly with a blank expression.
In just a short time, she had already revealed two details. According to Ulysses' personality, she felt that she had been recognized, but was not completely sure yet, which was why she was playing along with her here.
The key issue is that if she were actually recognized, caught, or killed, it might be a minor matter; in other words, she wouldn't die.
But they will certainly become Ulysses' free slaves.
They weren't even thugs, they were slaves.
They had made a deal before, in addition to the 'Blood of the Night', there was also the search for the 'Nightmare Crescent'. According to Ulysses' logic, even if he kidnapped her, it would be justified.
What's more, she knows the coordinates of almost all the 'Blood of the Night', which makes her even more useful.
But Bai Xi didn't want to give him any benefits at all; just thinking about it made her feel uncomfortable.
"That would be best."
Ulysses smiled ambiguously, then turned his gaze to Ririsa, his eyes narrowing slightly.
“Nun of the Temple of Light, I remember you.”
Upon hearing this, Rilisa froze on the spot. Clearly, she did not know Ulysses, but for some reason, Ulysses had revealed her identity.
"..."
Bai Xi felt a deep sense of desolation. Perhaps... if Ulysses even knew Relisa, then there was no difference between her and her identity being exposed.
She and Ulysses locked eyes, and both ghosts could see right through each other's thoughts.
Intelligent people don't need much communication; a single glance is enough for them to know what the other wants.
“Miss Undead, or rather... little liar.”
Ulysses stopped teasing Bai Xi and laid his cards on the table in a meaningful tone, even using a title that almost gave Bai Xi goosebumps.
You can even detect a hint of ambiguity and tenderness in it.
“Our Ancestor, you like to pretend to be a gentleman so much, why can’t you just go all the way?”
Bai Xi's lips twitched, feeling desperate, but since she had already been recognized, there was no need to pretend to be stupid.
But no matter what, her sarcastic remarks didn't diminish at all.
Rilisa stood there stunned, unable to believe that this vampire who was stalking the saintess like a pervert was actually the progenitor of vampires.
