The world consciousness had already planned the design of the Angel Temple, and Bai Xi was merely an executor. The temple's foundation floated in mid-air amidst the clouds, and all its power originated from Bai Xi.
From a distance, it looks like a floating island.
Bai Xi stared at the scene in a daze. She had been to the Temple of Angels more than once, and each time it was not a pleasant experience. She could not imagine that this place was created by her.
The memory overlapped with the angel temple before him, now only its foundation, and Bai Xi, unusually, didn't want to speak.
El looked at Bai Xi thoughtfully, and could clearly see the complexity in her eyes.
"Is the Savior going to build a temple on this?"
'Arunta' never expected that the Savior's project would be so grand. Coupled with the design sketches in his hand, this magnificent temple was worlds apart from the temple that the Holy Spirits had spontaneously built for Baixi.
"Um."
Bai Xi wasn't in a good mood, but she still mustered her energy to answer his questions.
"Since it is the Savior's request, I will definitely fulfill it."
'Arunta' revealed a resolute expression and solemnly assured Bai Xi.
"...It's okay to just do it half-heartedly."
Bai Xi replied listlessly.
She still has to go to the Elven realm later. If... the next target chosen by the world's consciousness also looks very similar to Haransel, then part of the guess can be confirmed.
"?"
Arunta was taken aback. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation. It seemed that the Savior did not want to build this temple, but had no choice but to do so.
But in this world, who can force the savior to do something he doesn't want to do?
He expressed his doubts.
"Also, you don't need to call me Savior, just call me Bai Xi."
Bai Xi found it awkward. Although she had been called "Arunta" the whole way, she still couldn't get used to it and finally couldn't help but correct her.
"No, no, no, Savior..."
'Arunta' was clearly taken aback by Bai Xi's request and was about to say something apprehensive when Bai Xi clearly cut her off.
"I don't like hearing this, cheer me up."
Bai Xi rubbed her forehead, feeling as if she were caught in a whirlpool, and her mood wasn't very good.
Upon hearing this, El and 'Arunta' fell silent at the same time, but in the end, they spoke as she requested.
"El, you stay here to protect him. I need to find someone else."
Bai Xi was about to leave, but El instinctively wanted to stay by her side, so Bai Xi had to stop and turn around to say something to him.
"?"
A big question mark appeared on El's face, clearly not expecting his lover to ask him to protect a 'desert spirit'.
"He's relatively weak. This building... is very important to me. If he dies, it won't be completed. I need your help."
Bai Xi spoke with an unspeakable sense of despair, but she still made this request in order to get El to obey.
El's expression turned unhappy at a visible speed, but for Bai Xi's sake, he still sighed deeply and said in a somewhat aggrieved tone.
"Shouldn't lovers kiss before parting? Didn't I?"
His gaze landed purposefully on Bai Xi's lips, which made Bai Xi, who didn't have time to think too much about emotions, stiffen slightly. However, considering various factors, Bai Xi closed her eyes and stepped forward.
El's eyes, which had been somewhat reluctant, became excited and expectant.
Sometimes people are like that; when they pretend to be bad guys, they can do a lot of outrageous things, like forcibly kissing El who doesn't remember anything.
However, most of the time Bai Xi is still a novice, so after El asked her to kiss him, it became difficult for her to do so.
She stood before El, taking several deep breaths, her gaze fixed on El's pink and tender lips. She knew what that touch felt like—cool yet soft, but...
Bai Xi was struggling with this issue repeatedly in her mind.
Finally, El couldn't wait any longer and pressed the back of her head down, planting the kiss on her head.
Bai Xi's eyes widened instantly, but she didn't struggle. She just waited quietly for El to finish kissing her, her face turning red without her even noticing.
In a secluded corner, where no one knew, 'Arunta', who had been studying the design drawings, was now standing in the shadows. His golden and silver pupils reflected the image of Baixi and El kissing. A holy angel and a gentle and kind savior, what a perfect match.
It's so beautiful, it's like a painting.
If the most skilled human to paint were standing here, they would surely do everything in their power to capture this scene and preserve it forever.
But all of this was inexplicably glaring to Arunta.
He was clearly just an ordinary craftsman brought back by the Savior; how could he be qualified to covet the Savior in heaven?
A bitter feeling welled up inside him, but 'Arunta' quietly lowered his eyes, his gaze returning to the design drawings. This was the task given to him by the Savior, and he had to complete it well.
As for any other desires, they are not worthy of him.
Because of the unexpected kiss, Bai Xi didn't pay much attention to her surroundings. Even if she noticed that 'Arunta' was watching, she wouldn't react much. After all, he wasn't Arunta; he didn't have those memories and was just an ordinary person she had just met.
"That's enough... I'm leaving now."
Bai Xi turned around awkwardly and fled from the floating island of the Angel Temple as if escaping.
El watched her retreating figure, his crimson tongue brushing across the corner of his lips, his gaze filled with tenderness and longing.
Sure enough, his lover was even more affectionate than he had imagined.
Although it wasn't their first kiss, he could still taste a different kind of sweetness in it.
On the other side, Bai Xi, having left the 'place of trouble', finally regained her composure. The burning sensation on her cheeks seemed to remind her that although she seemed to have experienced a lot, all her years had amounted to only a little over twenty years.
They had clearly rekindled their relationship not long ago, but he couldn't control his feelings.
"I'm going crazy..."
Bai Xi felt that she was acting very abnormally. She had so many things to deal with, but she was inexplicably pulled into matters of love and romance, a kind of trouble she had never experienced before.
She even began to miss her former self.
But as soon as the thought crossed her mind, Bai Xi shook her head to dispel it. The statue that had been broken with great difficulty was something that many people had paid a heavy price to help her find. It would be too pitiful if she disliked it.
Bai Xi's mind was a mess, but she was still diligently making her way to the Elf Clan.
