Nophiel didn't seem surprised by this. He just narrowed his eyes and looked at Bai Xi with a meaningful gaze.
As for whether he felt wronged?
Not at all.
He had long anticipated that Bai Xi's feelings for him wouldn't be enough for her to kiss him first, so this was purely a pleasant surprise. Even if Bai Xi denied it, it wouldn't do him any harm.
but.....
It was clear that after she said that, the others were already getting restless.
There was an undercurrent in the air, but Bai Xi didn't notice it much. She was still immersed in the embarrassment of being controlled by 'lust', especially after she brought it up herself. But there was nothing she could do about it, and she needed to clear her name.
She's not a pervert!
Having finished discussing that matter, we can finally get to the main topic. Bai Xi straightened up slightly before continuing.
"Only after Tartarus is fully awakened will I have a chance to truly defeat its true form. Last time in the ruins, although I attracted its true form, I had just been resurrected and was not able to truly defeat it, but I did manage to deplete its current power."
"When it returns next time, it will only be more ferocious than it is now, but for now, we still have some time to recuperate."
Bai Xi didn't exactly take on this responsibility voluntarily. After all, even though she had become a god, she still had to live on this continent. If the abyss wasn't completely eliminated, it would still affect her in the end.
Don't underestimate her will to survive.
Her voice was calm, no longer carrying the withdrawn and frustrated feeling she had just had; she was completely absorbed in the 'business'.
Of course, the gods weren't always love-struck. Even when Bai Xi clearly wanted to talk about serious matters, she still thought about some personal feelings. So after she finished speaking, the men also showed signs of thinking.
So what are your plans next?
Rosette knew that this was also their duty as gods, to sit on the throne, and that they could not let Beshi face it alone.
"I still have some questions that haven't been answered. Now we need to investigate where the Goddess of the Dead went."
Since her resurrection and acquisition of this body, Bai Xi has always had one question: where did the empty shell of the Goddess of the Dead that she saw in the memory space go? Although she seemed to have obtained a fragment of the Goddess of the Dead's soul when she woke up in the Western Continent.
That scene of the beginning of heaven and earth was also discovered because of the fragments of the goddess of the dead's soul.
But she still doesn't know where the Goddess of the Dead went, or why she fused with the soul fragments.
However, regardless of the circumstances, if there is a soul, then there must be a body. She is now eager to find the body of the Goddess of the Dead to verify something.
for example.....
Could it be related to the faceless statue behind her?
It seems she has been fighting against an invisible entity, not Tartarus, not an enemy in the open. It is well hidden, but Eros discovered it, and she discovered it too.
Bai Xi thought that since the Goddess of the Dead had given her a similar feeling, the key to solving the problem should lie with the Goddess of the Dead.
"Okay, I'll go look for it."
Rosette nodded, without asking why, and simply agreed to Bai Xi's request.
The other men also agreed without hesitation.
"Hmm... there's another thing... I need to find the Sky Demon."
After a moment's thought, Bai Xi spoke again.
To her surprise, the succubus ball beside her answered her words.
Philomona asked in a puzzled tone.
Why are you asking about my father? Does he like you too?
The succubus ball's startling words nearly caused Sapha, who had just come to his senses and returned from Hell to the Temple of Angels to find Baishi, to fall from mid-air.
Even though it didn't fall directly, it still made a loud noise when it hit the temple grounds.
Bai Xi instinctively looked in the direction of the sound and saw Safa staring at them with a livid face.
"...."
She always felt that Safa's eyes looked like he wanted to devour her.
"Don't go too far..."
He gritted his teeth and squeezed out six words from his throat, as if he had used up all his strength, which instantly made Bai Xi realize that something was wrong.
Oh no, it seems the Demon King has misunderstood.
The other gods also showed strange expressions, and even El's eyes revealed surprise. He obviously did not expect that Bai Xi could even attract the 'Demon of the Sky'. What great charm she had.
That was one of the most powerful demons besides the primordial demons that had died; the other was the demon of time.
However, the Demon of Time is now dead, and his only descendants are Safa and Beshi...
"No, no, no, no!"
The men were still speculating when Bai Xi spoke up in time, interrupting their outrageous guesses.
"I just have some questions I'd like to ask him..."
Bai Xi was really frustrated and had no way to deal with Philomona's unrestrained remarks.
"Oh, you scared me to death."
The succubus patted her chest, looking relieved. Seeing this, Bai Xi thought to herself, "Shouldn't she be the one who was startled?"
After receiving Bai Xi's answer, Safa remained silent for a moment before speaking to Bai Xi as if he had made up his mind.
“I know where he is.”
Unexpectedly, Safa had information about the 'Demon of the Sky'. Bai Xi was pleasantly surprised and turned around to approach Safa to ask him more questions. However, she quickly remembered that her current situation was complicated and she was prone to acting out of her animalistic nature, so she stopped in her tracks.
"Then thank you very much, Demon King."
As the saying goes, "He who eats another's food is bound to him, and he who takes another's money is bound to him." Bai Xi was tough before, but now she's softened her tone.
However, in Safa's eyes, it seemed somewhat mocking, and he curled the corners of his mouth into a cold smile.
Before he could say anything, the succubus ball shot him a glare, making him swallow back the mockery that was about to come out.
"...I'll take you to see him."
Under the death stare of his own mother, Safa struggled for a long time before finally managing to utter this one sentence.
"good."
Bai Xi also sensed the undercurrent between the mother and son, but she was genuinely grateful that Philomona was there, otherwise Safa would have been really difficult to deal with.
She turned her head and met the men's burning gazes again. Remembering that the matter from earlier wasn't resolved, she pursed her lips, then suddenly recalled Eros's words and added a final sentence.
"For now, I don't have much romantic feeling for you, but we can still be considered friends. If... I'll consider it after the Abyss is dealt with..."
Actually, if she could, she wouldn't want to be in a relationship with a god, but the current situation is rather special, so she can only find an excuse to postpone it.
