Now that the mechanism had been activated, Bai Xi, Perkin, and Ulysses did not linger. Instead, they followed the corridor they had entered through, preparing to explore another area.
After they had gone far away, rustling sounds began to echo in the corridor, until two blurry figures appeared.
"Are you just going to follow me like this? Aren't you going to see your son?"
The voice in the darkness carried a hint of mockery. The voice sounded relatively young, but for some reason, it gave the impression of someone much older.
"He came to see you."
The male voice continued.
"No need, he... is very strong."
The other voice remained silent for a moment before rejecting his suggestion.
"Besides, don't you want to see him? He's your grandson."
Suddenly, a second voice seemed to remember something, its tone laced with teasing.
A critical hit silenced the first voice.
After a long while, their conversation resumed in the darkness.
"It doesn't matter whether I see Safa or not, but I want her to get her body back."
"They've already solved one of the mechanisms, so it doesn't seem like they need our help to guide them."
"There are seven mechanisms in total. One is definitely not enough; it would be troublesome if we missed one."
The conversation subsided again, only to resume after a long pause.
The topic has now returned to Safa.
“Safa inherited the dual powers of space and time, but unfortunately he hasn’t fully developed them yet. If he could become the second primordial demon, he could also resolve this crisis.”
"What, weren't you still counting on her?"
"It has nothing to do with her, Philomona will definitely be happy."
The next sound was sweet, but the other sound made my teeth ache.
"Stop thinking about my daughter!"
He said through gritted teeth.
"Sigh, whatever, succubi can't control themselves."
After a while, he seemed deflated and stopped talking.
The conversation between the two figures ended there, and they disappeared without a trace down the corridor.
The group ahead was completely unaware of this, not even Ulysses noticed that his power had not fully returned, and some of the hidden 'Blood of the Night' had not yet been retrieved.
Currently, Bai Xi is the only person who knows all the blood coordinates.
There was a reason why Ulysses sought out Bai Xi.
They continued walking, and finally, before stepping into a room that resembled a library, Perkin pursed his lips and spoke to Bai Xi.
"Owner....."
Bai Xi turned her head to look at him, her eyes questioning.
"Um?"
Perkin looked at the library gate, which was more than two stories high. It was solemn and imposing, and had a kind of temple of light about it, but it was even more sacred than the temple.
"It's dangerous inside, Master. Should we stay outside?"
He sensed danger in this place. There was something inside that he couldn't handle. His master wanted to know what was inside. He could go in, but he didn't want his master to go in.
"No need."
Bai Xi was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and shook her head.
Although Perkin didn't say it directly, Besh seemed to understand his thoughts; he cared about her.
What a good subordinate.
Bai Xi sighed with emotion.
Even without a slave contract, he still cares so much about her safety as his former employer, and even considers her feelings, still calling her master to this day.
"This ruin is similar to a maze, but most of it is one-way. If there are really monsters inside, it will be difficult for me to escape if I stay outside."
Bai Xi turned around and pointed to the dark and long corridor, which looked like a giant mouth that would swallow people, and didn't seem very safe.
"good."
Perkin looked into Bai Xi's eyes and slowly agreed as if he had made up his mind.
...
In another corner of the ruins, Xiu touched his chest, where his lost heartbeat was faintly visible, indicating that although he had been teleported to an unknown place, he should not be far from Maggie's location.
By following the strength of her heartbeat, we can quickly find her location.
He had some questions he wanted to ask.
Xiu closed his eyes, and those inexplicable memories flashed through his mind—those were… the memories of the Sea God.
In the vast mermaid capital, his past life, that of a god, was besieged by his own people. The person he longed to see turned into bubbles before his eyes and saved his life.
These memories are also the reason why he came here.
They were willing to venture into the Western Continent to find Bai Xi.
Regardless of whether he accepts his past life as a god or not, and whether he fights for control of his body, the fact remains that he owes Maggie a life.
Even this time, it was only through Bai Xi's protection that he was able to resolve the problem of the mermaid race being nearly corrupted by the ice mermaid race.
Whatever the reason, he wanted to see her.
He would agree to whatever she asked for.
...Even if it means offering myself in return, that's fine.
Thinking of this, Xiu felt his faint heartbeat quicken considerably. Even someone as composed and calm as him had some... indescribable images flash through his mind when considering this possibility.
And his kiss with Bai Xi.
Xiu was lost in thought when he reached out and touched his lips.
It's very soft.
Even when he was dominated by the breeding season, he could still clearly remember that feeling.
Compared to humans, mermaids reproduce more simply, as they are oviparous. Therefore, Maggie won't have to suffer much; she'll just need to lay the mermaid eggs...
For some inexplicable reason, the image he had just thought of reappeared in his mind.
Maggie gave birth to baby fish for him; the transparent eggs contained...
One after another.
It's not scary or bloody at all; in fact, it's surprisingly erotic...
The problem is that mermaids have a long breeding season, and her body is so weak, I don't know if she can withstand it.
His chaotic thoughts were a jumbled mess, and he didn't even realize that his reproductive period had started earlier than usual, because he was now close enough to the person who had stirred his heart.
Normally, he would never let lust control his mind, but today was different.
As Xiu groped his way closer to Bai Xi's location, he felt a heat in his nose, and then looked down.
He became famous.
He actually thought about these things so much that his nose started bleeding.
This is almost unheard of for a mermaid.
"..."
The repairman stood still for several minutes, as if frozen in place, his expression stiff.
He was also deeply shocked by his own filthy thoughts.
After a long pause, he took a deep breath and gave a stiff smile.
What was I thinking just now?
Xiu smacked his head. He was really going crazy. He was just looking for someone to repay a debt of gratitude. Why was he thinking about these abnormal things? Had he taken the wrong medicine?
He was extremely frustrated.
"No, I can't think about it anymore. I need to find the person as soon as possible."
Xiu closed his eyes in frustration and waited for a long time.
When he opened his eyes again, he barely managed to regain his composure.
