"Wouldn't that be unfair to Miss Maggie?"
Ulysses elegantly tugged at the corner of his clothes, where traces of his blood and holes still lingered, but he acted as if he didn't see them and calmly said...
"..."
Bai Xi remained silent, deciding not to explain and to let Ulysses call her Maggie as he pleased.
As for her real name, she didn't want to say.
Since he couldn't get rid of Ulysses no matter what, Bai Xi had no choice but to give up the struggle and give up.
Strangely enough, even though her identity was exposed, Ulysses didn't seem to want her to do anything; he simply followed her around.
It's like...
I'm observing her.
Yes, he was observing her, seemingly very interested in her every move.
It's like a camera that's always pointing at her.
This made Bai Xi feel uncomfortable all over and her scalp tingled.
But she had no choice but to endure it.
The combination of one human, one vampire, one undead, and five elemental spirits was thus formed, a truly explosive combination across the entire Western Continent.
Of course, only Maggie can see the elemental spirits, so there are only three on the surface.
Bai Xi really wanted to kill the Bone Lord, but she needed to think things through. Either she could wait for the wanted poster to expire, or she could lure the Bone Lord out of the city. Both of these were good options.
However, in practice, a more specific approach is needed.
Bai Xi considered herself a fairly intelligent person, but with a 'giant' by her side watching her all the time, it was truly occupying her brain, and she was now completely unable to think.
Helpless, she could only turn to look at Ulysses and speak in a calm yet mad tone.
“My ancestor, if you keep staring at me like that, I’ll think you have a crush on me.”
Ulysses simply stroked his chin, then carefully examined Bai Xi from head to toe before finally speaking slowly.
“You look a bit like someone who has been missing for a long time, or maybe a god. It has been so long that I can’t remember what she looks like anymore, but I feel a strong resemblance to her in you.”
His words were vague and ambiguous, leaving Bai Xi completely confused.
"Really? Your old flame?"
Bai Xi casually made a comment.
To everyone's surprise, Ulysses didn't refute these words. Instead, he frowned, as if he were seriously considering the question.
"?"
A big question mark appeared above Bai Xi's head.
Could she have accidentally stumbled upon the right question?
But she doesn't care at all about Ulysses' romantic history!
Bai Xi screamed inwardly, but remained outwardly calm, preparing to skip the topic.
"If she can accept it, I would be happy to."
After thinking for a long time, Ulysses suddenly blurted out these words.
"!"
Bai Xi felt she had heard something really offensive.
"Stop! I don't want to hear it. I'm not interested in old people's love stories."
She righteously and firmly stopped Ulysses from continuing to speak.
With just one sentence, Ulysses' previously composed expression instantly froze. He had never been called an 'old man' before, and he felt mocked.
But if we have to compare it to Maggie's current age, then... she is indeed a bit old.
For some reason, Ulysses felt a little frustrated. He had never cared about age before; for him, time was just a one-way street, and he was always at the forefront, never left behind by time.
Rilisa, watching from the side, sighed silently to herself.
Although Her Highness only served as the Holy Maiden in the temple for two years, her network of connections is surprisingly extensive, including the Demon King and the progenitor of vampires.
Stimulate.
For Rilisa, hovering on the edge of life and death generates a strong sense of excitement that can be addictive.
However, the premise is that what threatens her is not something so powerful that it is invincible, which is why she was so afraid when she faced the Demon King and Ulysses, and that was perfectly normal.
Now that the crisis is over, and she's hearing such exciting news, she decides to pray before going to bed tonight and share it with her deity—the God of Darkness.
...
"Having been back in the Mermaid Village for so long, I still have no intention of staying. It seems I have no choice but to let you go."
The mermaid chieftain was still as old and kind as ever, but now his face was etched with worry, and his tone was filled with deep helplessness.
Unfortunately, his tactic of retreating to advance was completely ineffective in Xiu's eyes.
“I lost my clan’s most precious treasure, so naturally I must retrieve it.”
Xiu stood before the clan leader with his head bowed, speaking calmly.
"Sigh, you're the child I watched grow up, how could I not know what you're thinking?"
The merman chieftain spoke with a tone of disappointment and frustration, as if Xiu was sacrificing his own future by doing this.
"Are you looking for the Heart of the Ocean? Ask yourself that question."
The mermaid chieftain changed his tune again, earnestly trying to dissuade them.
“You are an exceptionally talented water mage, powerful enough to protect the entire clan. I have been saving the position of clan leader for you, but now you no longer want it.”
Xiu raised his head, looked at the grandfather who raised him, pursed his lips, and still did not agree.
"I'm sorry, Grandpa, I have things to do."
Two years after leaving the temple, he chose to return to the seabed to search for the lost mermaid capital city again, although it took a long time to reopen it and he studied the mechanisms for a long time.
But for Xiu, each time he entered that folded space, he would emerge stronger.
It turns out that the afterimage of the sea god that I saw back then has never disappeared.
Or rather, the afterimage is still there, but it no longer possesses much intelligence; it simply repeats some of the original body's behaviors.
This is precisely what is important for repair.
This led him to learn more and more about the sea god, until recently.
His once lifeless chest suddenly regained its warmth, and in the pitch-black depths of the sea, it was even slightly warm.
Although there was still no heartbeat, this clearly indicated one thing.
That means... that woman is not dead, or exists on this continent in some form.
He didn't even need to seize the sea god's dominance or completely control the sea god's divine status. Without reincarnation, he could see Maggie again with just this one life.
She is still Maggie, who possesses all her memories.
Upon realizing this, Xiu's chest burned even hotter than usual, and his determination was so clear that even the merman chieftain could feel it.
"Alright, alright, the child is all grown up now, do as you please."
In the end, the clan chief compromised with Xiu and agreed to let him leave the deep sea to search for a saintess who had been dead for two years.
At least in the eyes of the mermaid chieftain, this should be called being love-struck.
