Ulysses casually crossed his arms, a hint of mockery in his blood-red eyes.
Even without saying a word, Bai Xi roughly understood what he meant.
That's right. As long as there is desire, whether it is human or other race, there will always be individuals who will stop at nothing to crave power and desire immortality. Even these few individuals are enough to make the vampire population controlled by Ulysses grow larger and larger.
Do you still think it's my problem?
Ulysses quipped humorously.
"...You're quite easy to talk to; people make wishes to you, and you just agree."
Bai Xi looked away, speaking in a somewhat sarcastic tone.
She knew she was being a bit unreasonable, since Ulysses had no reason to refuse food delivered to his door; it was a mutually agreeable transaction. If she interfered in that, she was being too nosy.
"Don't you want me to respond to him?"
Ulysses didn't move, his eyes flickered in the darkness, and he asked as if it were a casual question.
"...No, do as you please."
Bai Xi knew she shouldn't interfere in this matter, and she didn't have any particular thoughts about it, so what she said was sincere.
She didn't look at Ulysses, so she didn't notice the vampire's actions. Before she even realized it, Ulysses had already put his arm around her waist and pulled her into his embrace.
"!!!"
Bai Xi's eyes widened slightly, surprised that Ulysses was so bold.
He hadn't done anything suspicious these past few days, and Bai Xi thought he was really harmless, but he still slipped up.
"Just say one word and I'll let him go back, how about that?"
Ulysses whispered intimately in her ear.
It was like the tone of someone coaxing their girlfriend; Bai Xi was very familiar with it, after all, El used to talk to her like that not long ago, it's just a pity that now...
Bai Xi's mood soured, and she lost the mood to joke with him. She simply reached out and pushed Ulysses, saying in a flat tone.
"I have a partner now, don't do this."
Although Al has lost his memory, they haven't broken up yet.
Bai Xi considered herself a person with principles, so she couldn't be so close to Ulysses.
Well, actually, even without El, she wouldn't consider Ulysses.
"But hasn't that kid already forgotten about you?"
Ulysses said in a light, casual tone.
"!"
Bai Xi frowned immediately.
"What do you know?"
She asked.
El probably didn't tell Ulysses about her amnesia, so how did he know?
"Don't get me wrong, I just took a short trip to the Temple of Angels. That kid doesn't recognize me at all now, so naturally he doesn't remember me either."
Ulysses tightened his arms around Baixi's waist, his voice lowering once more.
"Anyway, he doesn't remember anything, so he won't know what happened between us."
These shocking and mind-blowing words came out of Ulysses' mouth, shattering Bai Xi's worldview. Her pupils dilated as she stared at Ulysses, her eyes practically saying, "Are you serious?"
"I never joke."
Ulysses squinted lazily, a hint of amusement in his voice.
"!!!"
Bai Xi cracked.
She was a little flustered, but when her gaze fell on the human outside, her eyes lit up, and she quickly spoke to Ulysses.
"Quickly, your devout followers have been kneeling for a long time, hurry up and fulfill their wishes."
When Bai Xi tried to break free, Ulysses had no way of restraining her.
She swiftly bound Ulysses' hands with magic, slipped out of his embrace in a flash, and hurriedly walked out of the cabin into the forest.
She needed some peace and quiet, and she never expected Ulysses to say something like that.
After a while, the magic on Ulysses dissipated. He looked in the direction where Bai Xi had left with a hint of regret, and after a while, he looked at the human who sought immortality.
Judging from his expression, he was probably struggling with the decision, but in the end he decided to throw out a spell from that human.
They neither killed him nor granted his request for immortality.
However, he didn't chase after Bai Xi, because he knew that what he had just said might have challenged the bottom line of humans, but it was a very trivial matter for vampires.
Vampires have unlimited lifespans, and it's not uncommon for lovers to die, since not every lover would willingly become a vampire.
Therefore, it's quite normal to find a new lover after a period of time following the death of the previous one.
However, he disdained indulging in romantic love, and if it weren't for Bai Xi's appearance, he probably wouldn't have even considered this option.
Because of Bai Xi, he was somewhat tempted. During this time, he had been testing his own heart to see what kind of feelings he had for Bai Xi.
The fact is that he has fallen for Bai Xi.
Ever since he discovered that her blood was bitter and felt that sadness and despair, he has been paying close attention to Bai Xi's emotions every time he spends with her, trying to make her blood smell better and sweeter.
Ulysses didn't believe he simply wanted to drink Bai Xi's sweet blood.
More than anything, he cared about her feelings.
That's enough to explain the problem.
Today's events were just a trigger; he wanted to test Bai Xi's attitude, but he couldn't stop himself and scared her away.
Ulysses felt somewhat helpless at the thought. He gently rubbed his temples and lay down in the coffin. Chasing after them now would not yield any good results and might even have the opposite effect. In any case, Bai Xi would definitely come back.
As for El.....
Since Bai Xi chose to leave the Temple of Angels and hasn't gone back to look for him during this time, it should be considered a tacit agreement to break up.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did; it wasn't even considered stealing someone's partner. He could only say that Bai Xi wasn't very receptive to it and needed to be given some more time.
That's right, Ulysses doesn't mind at all.
El was just a completely uncompetitive ex, not even a rival, and didn't arouse any sense of crisis in Ulysses.
As he pondered this, he closed his eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep.
On the other side, Bai Xi stood blankly on the top of a big tree, the moon shining brightly in the sky. She didn't dare to go back, not because she was afraid of Ulysses, but because she realized that something was wrong with her.
Logically speaking, now that she has sealed her emotions into the statue, she shouldn't feel any stirrings of emotion.
But in that brief moment, she had a strange feeling of familiarity.
A racing heart and flushed cheeks—what's the difference between that and being smitten?
Bai Xi looked up blankly, unsure whether to be happy or sad.
A rekindled romance should be a good thing, but... isn't that just being unfaithful?
