Finally, Bai Xi came up with a solution.
"Sure, but I can't give it all to you right now. I need to ensure my safety."
Since scheming and intrigue won't work, the only option is to lay all the cards on the table. For the sake of the next coordinate, Ulysses can't lay a hand on her.
But if they want to capture her and interrogate her...
Bai Xi felt a chill run down her spine as she thought about it.
"Miss con artist, you're still as wary as ever. But alright, I'll grant your request."
Ulysses was easy to talk to. Although she had to come back to see Baixi every time she found a drop of blood, it wasn't completely unacceptable, and it gave her a sense of security.
"Um."
Bai Xi breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, the vampire hadn't suddenly gone berserk.
The best outcome is that we don't intend to torture her or force her to answer questions.
A short while later, Perkin returned from the direction of the library entrance, landed in front of Bai Xi, and nodded slightly to her.
"It's open."
He reverted to his taciturn self. In fact, he only talked a lot when he was with Bai Xi. Now that there was another person present, he didn't want to say a word.
"Okay, let's go."
Bai Xi was secretly pleased; it was a mechanism that combined the door and the alchemical golem—how convenient!
I just don't know...
Who left this chessboard device?
Before leaving, Bai Xi looked up and gazed deeply at the starry sky, a miniature version of the sky over her hometown, which, to be honest, evoked a sense of nostalgia.
She was, from beginning to end, a wandering soul from another world.
Even though there was nothing or no one she longed for there, she would always want to go home.
If possible, Bai Xi would like to go back someday.
But now I can only look at it a few more times to ease my homesickness.
"Bai Xi, something strange has happened again at the altar over at the statue plaza!"
Just then, Bai Xi heard Luo Yi's excited voice, though she didn't know what exciting thing he had seen.
Because of the two people next to her, Bai Xi didn't answer, but her brows furrowed slightly.
In both instances, the mechanisms and the altar in the statue square were directly related...
So there are other mechanisms scattered throughout this ruin, until the entire altar is activated, if she is not mistaken.
but.....
What could be inside that altar?
Thinking back to the scene she saw inside the altar, Bai Xi felt a sudden chill.
Regardless of whether Eros is her or not, if the altar is for summoning gods, will she see another god who looks exactly like her?
"!"
Bai Xiren is numb.
"Master, what are you thinking about? It's time to go out."
Perkin stopped and looked at Bai Xi, who seemed lost in thought. As she pondered, her pace unconsciously slowed down, which Perkin noticed.
"fine."
Bai Xi snapped out of her reverie, shook her head, and didn't explain why.
She will not tell anyone the secret between her and the elemental spirits; it is a promise she made to the little ghost.
It appears to be a ghost, a snake, and a vampire leaving the library, but in reality there are eight, plus five elemental spirits.
Roy was still rambling on and on.
"Oh, by the way, I saw your former personal attendants, including that mermaid. Do you want to go see them?"
He felt that Bai Xi and those people were friends. Although he hadn't seen them for a long time because Bai Xi had become a ghost, it would be a very happy thing if good friends could reunite.
Roy then shared this information with Baixi.
Only Leia was confused. He didn't know much about the people around Baixi, nor did he know about Baixi's relationship with those men.
"..."
Bai Xi remained silent and shook her head slightly.
“Yes, we can’t go see them. Bai Xi’s top priority should be to leave the ruins and go out to find the remaining two elements.”
The little ghost said he was more concerned about the safety of the Elemental Source Realm.
Although the broken wooden stick that the succubus found provided some support, it certainly wouldn't last long. Moreover, Bai Xi had been asleep for two years, which would only make things more complicated.
Hearing this, Bai Xi was both amused and exasperated.
Does she look like someone who doesn't do anything productive?
The reason we haven't left this ruin yet is because we haven't found the exit...
...
Meanwhile, after calming himself down, Xiu began to search for Maggie's whereabouts by following the echo of her heartbeat.
The direction was very clear, and he had been getting closer to Maggie.
Although we didn't meet in the western continent of the undead, since we're still in the same location, it doesn't mean we're separated.
However, he encountered some minor mishaps on his journey to find Maggie.
"you....."
Xiu and Labai met eyes and collided head-on, creating an awkward atmosphere. Xiu spoke first.
They all arrived at Maggie's side at the same time, but were sent away by the teleportation array.
Why did you go to see her?
Without hesitation, Rabai interrupted Xiu and asked another question that caught Xiu off guard. It was so direct that even a smart mermaid like him didn't know how to answer.
What do you want to know?
But Xiu quickly calmed down and asked Rabaiyi in return.
If that's the case, then he also needs to know why Rabai went to find Maggie—it's just a woman he picked up from a border town... well, now it's a man.
He didn't know why, but just like with the Gemini, he felt a sense of familiarity with Rabai, as if he had met him a long time ago.
So much so that even when she changed from a woman to a man, he still recognized her at a glance.
But Rabai and Maggie probably didn't have any romantic feelings for each other, so why would she take such a big risk to go to the Western Continent?
The debt of gratitude for saving my life goes far beyond this.
"I want to know, is she important to you?"
Rabai was asking Xiu, but he was also asking himself.
Is it necessary to do so much?
A guy as naturally cold-hearted as him, who isn't even human, shouldn't be capable of going to such lengths.
But why did he still do it?
So I asked Xiu this question the very first time we met.
Xiu didn't hesitate at all when asked this question, his tone resolute.
"Very important."
He didn't want to owe anyone a favor; he was determined to repay it.
He doesn't care about wicked thoughts during the breeding season, but if Maggie wants him to do something, he will definitely help her achieve it.
Having witnessed her death last time, I cannot miss it again this time.
The memories Xiu obtained about the sea god only included the part related to Bai Xi, not the part about his divine position and authority over the long and distant years after becoming a god. This made it impossible for him to recognize that Labai was the god of the earth.
The others were much the same, only having memories from before they became gods.
That is, it is related to Baixi.
This led to their feelings for Bai Xi multiplying exponentially after Bai Xi left, becoming completely uncontrollable.
However, Beshi knew nothing about this, nor did the human incarnations of the various gods.
