Just as the demon and the vampire were locked in a stalemate, Bai Xi happened to come down from the third floor. The moment she saw Ulysses, her expression was somewhat surprised, but she quickly realized what was going on.
"I can give you the coordinates now."
Bai Xi lowered his head and silently cast a spell, giving Ulysses what he had always wanted with a telepathic message.
If he were to search alone, it would theoretically take a long time. By giving him the coordinates all at once, she really saved Ulysses a lot of trouble.
"No, I think the most important thing between me and Miss Baixi shouldn't be this."
Ulysses raised an eyebrow. He might have originally come for this very reason, but his presence here today was definitely for another reason.
He took a step forward, preparing to walk towards Bai Xi, but halfway there, everything went black. It turned out that Safa had blocked his way. The black Feather of Time unfolded, completely blocking Bai Xi's path. Safa's face was also somewhat dark, and he looked very unhappy.
"As the founding ancestor, one should have a sense of propriety."
Safa is mocking Ulysses.
Is there anything else?
Bai Xi's voice came from behind Safa. She was also a little surprised because Ulysses's gaze was subtle and hard to describe.
"Miss Baixi, do you still remember the letter you left me?"
As Ulysses spoke, he held up the envelope and waved it in the air.
Although Bai Xi couldn't see it, she could hear the sound of the paper. Her brows furrowed slightly, and she finally reached out and patted Safa's shoulder, signaling him to move aside.
If she could, she wouldn't want to have any further interaction with Ulysses.
Of course, revenge is an exception.
However, it's not convenient to make a move right now in the Demon King's castle, and since my strength hasn't recovered yet, any rash action would definitely result in a disastrous outcome.
She's ruthless when it comes to revenge; after all, 'Nightmare Crescent' is in her hands.
Safa paused, reluctantly folding his wings and shifting his weight slightly. But his gaze toward Baixi was filled with resentment, like that of a husband watching his wife cheat on him. Baixi felt uncomfortable all over, even though she hadn't actually done anything, she felt a deep sense of moral condemnation.
Bai Xi tried to ignore the strange feeling and walked towards Ulysses.
"What letter? I didn't write it."
Bai Xi glanced at the envelope in Ulysses' hand. It was a very old-fashioned design that was no longer in fashion. Nowadays, wax seals were used instead. She also had no recollection of writing such a letter.
"But I'm pretty sure this is what you wrote."
Ulysses deliberately bent down to be at eye level with Baixi and placed the envelope in Baixi's hand. He didn't know if he was doing the right thing, but there were some things Baixi should know.
Bai Xi met his deep, blood-red eyes, and for some reason, she sensed a seriousness in them. She knew that Ulysses had always used coercion and enticement against her, and had never been sincere.
If he has this expression...
Bai Xi lowered her eyes and silently opened the envelope.
She was stunned the moment she opened it, because it really was her handwriting.
As Bai Xi read on, her face grew increasingly stiff. There was a section where she expressed her love for Ulysses. Although it was a small part of the text, the emotions expressed were genuine and not a joke.
Except for the last sentence, which she didn't quite understand, the rest of the content...
Bai Xi sensed that the situation was not good, and slammed the letter shut.
Ulysses continued to look at her with a smile, as if waiting for her answer. But with Safa still behind her, Bai Xi had no idea what to say to maintain the current situation and prevent a major battle from breaking out.
I just promised the Demon King that I would have a relationship with him.
As it turned out, the progenitor of vampires came to her with a letter that appeared to have come from who-knows-where, seemingly written by her own hand, demanding recognition.
If, after reading the letter, she still didn't know that Ulysses and she, or perhaps Eros, had an extraordinary relationship, then she would be no different from a fool.
After a long silence, Bai Xi was so silent that the air seemed suffocating before she finally spoke stiffly.
"I didn't write this."
Regardless of whether Eros is actually her or not, she absolutely cannot admit it in this situation. At the very least, she can't let Safa think she's an irresponsible scumbag. She's been single since birth, and she finally decided to start a relationship. How could this happen?
His reputation has been severely damaged.
Bai Xi was in tears.
All she could do now was stubbornly deny it, since she felt no remorse or guilt for offending Ulysses.
As for the future, we'll see...
Besides, she really doesn't remember writing the letter, so it shouldn't count.
Bai Xili thought to herself, though not entirely honest.
"Yeah?"
Ulysses, however, seemed to see right through her little schemes. He casually uttered two words and gave Bai Xi a meaningful smile.
"......yes."
Bai Xi felt a chill run down her spine; she felt like the gaze behind her was a branding iron, almost piercing through her back.
"Alright then, perhaps Miss Baixi has forgotten something. Hopefully, you'll remember it next time we meet."
Ulysses didn't press the matter further, but instead showed a somewhat regretful expression. However, his words were ambiguous, which made Bai Xi feel inexplicably uneasy.
Bai Xi didn't answer, and Ulysses wasn't annoyed. He gently took Bai Xi's hand and placed a kiss on it.
"See you next time, Bai Xi."
A standard hand-kiss is a common etiquette among nobles, and it's perfectly normal for a vampire like Ulysses who pursues elegance.
[Oh my god, how did I become a bad woman without doing anything...? I definitely wrote that letter, but when exactly did I write it...?]
What is Ulysses trying to do? Could he be planning something with me too? No, no, no…
Bai Xi was inwardly despairing and muttering to herself, but outwardly she didn't show much reaction.
The voice in his ear was clear and completely opposite to what Bai Xi had said. Ulysses' eyes showed great interest, but he kept his head down and no one noticed. In an instant, he let go of Bai Xi's hand.
"The Demon King doesn't welcome my arrival. I hope that Miss Baixi and I can meet up there next time."
He left those words behind, turned around, and departed from the Demon King's castle.
Only Bai Xi and Sa Fa remained in the castle hall. Bai Xi breathed a sigh of relief and turned to go back, but met Sa Fa's gloomy gaze, which was fixed on her hand.
Bai Xi had a question mark above her head.
Safa is a demon, after all. He wouldn't be jealous over a regular hand kiss, would he?
The thought had barely formed in her mind when her hand was gripped by a large, well-defined hand.
