"Be careful later."
Bai Xi didn't want to talk too much about the elemental spirits, but she was still worried that Perkin might be in danger, so she gave him a reminder.
Perkin's eyes warmed when he heard Bai Xi's words.
"Yes, Master."
He said this.
Ulysses, who was listening nearby, found the matter, which he hadn't paid much attention to before, inexplicably irritating. He quickened his pace and subtly positioned himself between Bai Xi and Perkin.
"?"
Perkin was intently watching Bai Xi's back when he was suddenly blocked by a shadow, and his face immediately darkened.
But he knew Bai Xi didn't like trouble, so he could only swallow his anger.
Bai Xi walked ahead, unaware of what was happening behind her. She only vaguely sensed that something was amiss, but she attributed it to the strange feeling of approaching the unknown elemental spirit.
As the three figures gradually approached the light, Bai Xi's vision also came into view of the light ahead, which looked like... a scorched earth?
Bai Xi thought uncertainly.
But the little ghost had just said that the area in front was the garden.
Even if the flowers have withered and disappeared, it shouldn't be scorched earth... right...?
Perkin also sensed something was amiss, his expression turned serious, and he stopped subtly competing with Ulysses.
Ulysses narrowed his eyes. He could feel that extraordinary power getting closer. Sure enough, there must be a big guy inside.
It's a huge guy that even he has a hard time dealing with.
Although Bai Xi was getting closer, she was actually very cautious with every move until she stepped out of the corridor, at which point her vigilance reached its peak.
As expected, the moment they entered the 'garden', a terrifying wall of fire rose up around them, and the raging flames almost engulfed the three of them.
If Bai Xi hadn't used the aura of death to create a protective shield beforehand, all three of them would have been burned to ashes.
Ulysses was also taken aback for a moment, because fire is also effective against vampires.
But as the progenitor of vampires, he rarely experiences flames that can make him feel suffocated or scorched.
"As expected, he's a very unfriendly guy..."
The little ghost looked serious. He was starting to think that Bai Xi should retreat. She had acted so cruelly in just one encounter. Even if they were to meet her, she would probably be a very difficult old stubborn person.
He considers himself an 'old elemental spirit' born in the primordial era and cannot understand the 'new elemental spirits' who yearn for humanity. However, compared to those elemental spirits born before the primordial era, he should be considered a rather young and open-minded elemental spirit.
A true relic, one that even the King of Elements couldn't handle.
Judging from the era of this ruin, if this elemental spirit has never left, then it means...
He's a 'stubborn old man' who's practically a disaster.
He can accept Bai Xi because of Roy, but the 'old stubborn man' inside is a different story; he might do something terrible.
"Come again next time; it's too dangerous to contact him now."
As an elemental spirit, Little Ghost was eager to learn about things before the Primordial Era and was very interested in the unknown history, but for Bai Xi's safety, he reluctantly prepared to leave.
Bai Xi carries the hopes of the Elemental Source Realm; we absolutely cannot let anything happen to her.
"I want to try it."
She silently uttered four words to the little ghost: Bai Xi rejected the little ghost's suggestion.
Maybe.....
Perhaps the elemental spirits here know something about Eros; if they are 'natives,' they probably know more than the little ghost.
She really wanted to know about her relationship with Eors.
The surrounding flames surged and roared, their light reflecting Bai Xi's resolute expression. The others had wanted to offer some advice, but seeing Bai Xi's demeanor, they ultimately remained silent.
Only Roy gave Baixi a big, sweet smile.
"Don't worry, Bai Xi. If we can't beat you, we can always run away. I'll just beg for mercy. Senior, you definitely won't hurt me!"
Upon hearing this, the little ghost was instantly left speechless, unsure whether to laugh or cry.
Roy was almost indistinguishable from a newly born elemental spirit; he had no idea how terrifying the 'old stubborn one' was.
How dare they say such things, encouraging Bai Xi to court disaster?
He was truly impressed.
The little ghost was almost furious, but thinking back on every time before, he fell silent.
It seems that Roy used to unconditionally support Baixi's antics in the same way.
"never mind......"
He was in despair.
Bai Xi didn't know how long she resisted, but finally the wall of fire receded and the flames burned out, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.
As soon as I fixed my gaze, I saw... a garden that had been burned down.
It did look like a garden, with flower beds and a pavilion around it, but they were all charred black and unrecognizable, as if it had just been through a fire. Just looking at it was chilling.
This scene.....
Even by guessing, you can roughly guess that there is a very irritable elemental spirit inside.
They start burning things at the slightest disagreement.
"I knew it...it was dangerous."
The little ghost muttered to itself.
"Master, are you alright?"
Perkin was somewhat anxious.
"Are you hurt?"
Ulysses kept a watchful eye on the depths of the garden while glancing at Bai Xi.
Perkin immediately looked at Bai Xi, and then... he noticed that Ulysses was also looking at Bai Xi. Their gazes met in the air, and sparks seemed to ignite for no apparent reason.
"?"
This time, Bai Xi was quite perceptive and noticed something was wrong. She looked at Perkins on the left and then at Ulysses, a subtle feeling rising in her heart.
While an omnivorous diet is not advisable, such a passionate gaze...
Bai Xi hesitated for a moment, but still secretly took a sip.
Consider it an injustice she did to the God of Light for a second.
Little did she know that if Perkin heard her true feelings, it would be like the sky falling again.
Ulysses might get so angry that he'd start a fight with Perkin on the spot.
"I'm fine, you should go in now."
Bai Xi walked forward with a normal expression, revealing nothing of her inner thoughts.
There was nothing Perkin could do; no matter how much he wanted to kill Ulysses, he had to swallow his anger and follow in Bai Xi's footsteps.
Bai Xi led the two of them into the garden.
Little did they know that within half a minute of them entering, two familiar figures appeared at the garden entrance.
Rabai and Xiu stood at the entrance in silence for a long while before Rabai asked hesitantly.
Are you sure we're here?
Rabai wasn't a very emotional person, but this place didn't seem like the kind of place Maggie would go into. What could be in ruins?
"That's right."
Xiu nodded, but although he said that, he was also a little uncertain in his heart.
