"So I became the solution?"
Without much thought, Bai Xi immediately connected the conversation to herself.
It's just too obvious.
"Yes, because only you currently have five elements coexisting stably in your soul without any mutual repulsion. Even if you become an undead, it won't have any impact."
The little ghost nodded and flew closer to Bai Xi, saying something along the way.
"Your king is very receptive."
Bai Xi couldn't help but complain.
The fact that she, an undead, could be accepted as a solution to prevent the collapse of the Elemental Source Realm suggests that there truly is no other way to resolve this crisis.
"No, it's that succubus, it's that succubus who insisted on choosing you... It has nothing to do with our king! The king hates undead the most!"
The little ghost spoke with conviction.
However, he immediately shut his mouth as soon as he finished speaking, because his sweeping generalization had also affected Bai Xi.
"...I felt offended."
Bai Xi always felt that the little ghost was targeting her.
I didn't mean to say anything bad about you...
The little ghost was a little embarrassed, her beady eyes narrowed into a thin line, and after a while she stubbornly made up a couple of excuses.
"Besides... who knew you'd lose your life so soon after we left... it's a good thing you became an undead, otherwise it would have been terrible."
He muttered a complaint under his breath, but he knew that Bai Xi didn't want to die, and there must be a very important reason, so he didn't complain to Maggie. Instead, his words carried a hint of relief.
"Alright, alright, anyway, I need to leave here now, right?"
Bai Xi knew that Little Ghost was just like that, and subconsciously reached out to rub her temples to relax. The next second, her hand froze in mid-air.
I almost forgot I was already dead.
Bai Xi casually withdrew her hand, pretending that she hadn't done anything.
Little Ghost and Roy didn't pay much attention to her actions, but upon hearing her words, they both refuted her in unison.
"no!"
Bai Xi was taken aback when she was rejected. She looked at the little ghost, who quickly flew in front of her and said in a very serious tone.
"The first thing you need to do now is to control your jealousy and bloodlust towards living beings."
The little ghost's eyes were wide open, and its expression was solemn, as if it were talking about something very, very important.
"Um?"
Bai Xi hadn't even considered this issue.
"Although throughout history, no undead has ever been able to control their desire to kill, you must find a way to suppress this instinct. Perhaps you have already discovered that you are now very powerful."
The little ghost, acting like a little teacher, almost put on his glasses and spoke to Bai Xi, enunciating each word clearly.
As his words fell, Bai Xi suddenly remembered the ghost that had vanished in her hand when she awoke. Although she hadn't sensed it closely, with just a light touch, the ghost had instantly dissipated, meaning she...
Thinking of this, Bai Xi immediately began to sense the condition of her spiritual body.
In just a moment of introspection, she realized how terrifying she was now.
A crystal core that constantly exudes the aura of death and 'nourishes' her spirit is currently in a semi-activated state, but even with only 50% of its effect, her strength is growing rapidly.
"This is..."
Bai Xi vaguely remembered that this crystal core played a significant role when she killed the Duke.
However, she vaguely remembered that this thing was originally just an ordinary gray bead?
Thinking of this, Bai Xi revealed a strange expression.
"You've already discovered that you've reached the level of a Lich Lord. The next level up is the Lich Queen, but that's the result of you doing nothing and sleeping for two years."
"If you actively devour the soul fire of other undead, you will only become more powerful than you are now."
The little ghost saw Bai Xi open her eyes and continued speaking.
"...I never thought that after I died, I could still experience the joy of leveling up while lying down."
Bai Xi made a couple of sarcastic remarks, with a dark humor that had a hellish feel to it.
Before, you had to beg others to grant you power; now you can level up even while sleeping. The difference in treatment is like night and day. It's great in every way except for being completely dead.
"That's not the most important thing right now. With your current strength, even if you manage to leave the barrier of the Western Continent, you won't be able to walk normally on the continent because you'll be unable to resist slaughtering living beings and becoming a disaster itself."
The little ghost was speechless, feeling that Bai Xi had completely missed the point.
"I see....."
Bai Xi understood what the little ghost was talking about, and felt that she had taken on a very difficult task.
She had witnessed the extent to which the dead craved the living, and she wasn't sure how far she could go or whether she would suddenly lose control.
"Don't take any chances. You will only have a chance to obtain the remaining two elements if you return to the mainland."
The little ghost looked at Bai Xi with a disappointed expression, wanting her to realize the importance of this matter as soon as possible.
"Of course... if you don't want to save our king, that's understandable."
After he finished speaking, he seemed to realize that his demands were too self-righteous, so he added a couple of words to defend himself.
Bai Xi raised an eyebrow, looking at the little ghost with a playful expression. She would definitely help solve the problem, but hearing the little ghost say that, she would have to tease him a bit for fun.
Sure enough, when he couldn't think of any other way and was also very afraid that Bai Xi would really refuse, the little ghost became very weak.
"At worst...at worst...I beg you..."
The more he spoke, the more choked up he became. Before long, two glistening tear bubbles appeared under DouDou's eyes, and her gaze towards BaiXi became watery.
This incident threw Bai Xi into a panic, and she quickly abandoned her nonchalant attitude.
"Don't cry, don't cry, I'll help!"
Bai Xi was truly stunned. It was the first time she had ever seen such a prickly little ghost, looking so wronged.
They didn't say they wouldn't help.
Does she seem so cold-blooded?
"Then there's no problem."
Then, the little ghost performed a dramatic change of expression for Bai Xi, completely obscuring her previous tearful face. Even the teardrops vanished without a trace.
"Alright, starting tomorrow, we'll train you on how to suppress your instincts."
The little ghost spoke nonchalantly, as if he wasn't the one who was about to cry just now.
"???"
Bai Xi felt something was off, as if she had become the one who had taken the bait?
How come the little ghost has two faces?
Seeing this, Luo Yi couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle. He had already told the little ghost that Bai Xi was more responsive to gentle persuasion than force.
The little ghost chose to learn two moves from him, and obviously, the effect was very good.
