"Otherwise what?"
Bai Xi countered with a question.
You can't blame her for being so sharp-tongued; she's someone who believes in accepting things as they come. If she weren't like that, she would have had a mental breakdown and given up on life on the very first day she transmigrated.
Since her becoming an undead is an irreversible outcome, there's no point in wallowing in self-pity every day; it won't have any real effect.
Then why should she waste her time on something so meaningless?
"..."
Safa, the mighty Demon King, was speechless after being choked by Bai Xi, because he had nothing to say in rebuttal.
And so, the already limited communication between the demon and the undead came to a complete halt. They walked one after the other through the city of the undead, in an eerily quiet atmosphere.
Of course, the 'quiet' refers to the stark contrast between them and the bustling, noisy spirits around them, flying in the sky and walking on the ground, as noisy as a vegetable market.
What are you going to do now?
Finally, Safa couldn't help but speak first, asking Baixi about her next plan.
He didn't know what was wrong with him. Even though he was being treated coldly and with an extremely bad attitude, he still couldn't help but want to talk to Bai Xi more.
"Go to the lord's mansion in this undead city, find their lord, and borrow a living being for use."
Bai Xi briefly explained their next destination, but after speaking, she paused slightly before continuing.
Didn't she tell you?
Philomona should have told Safa about her demands.
At least that's what Bai Xi thinks.
Otherwise, why would Safa be so lenient with her, repeatedly testing her limits and still being so forgiving?
"No."
When Philomona was mentioned, Safa's face darkened noticeably, and he only uttered two curt words, clearly recalling unpleasant memories.
Bai Xi also fell into thought, recalling Philomona's style and behavior.
Maybe... perhaps... probably...
It is indeed quite difficult for people to accept.
It might be a scene that's so embarrassing just to think about it that you'd want to dig your toes into the ground.
Thinking of this, Bai Xi wisely chose not to continue the conversation. Safa's personality was relatively easy to understand; although she seemed indifferent, it was all within an acceptable range.
It should be said that it was just within Safa's acceptable range.
It should not cross boundaries or offend anyone; it should only concern her personal matters.
If this involves Safa himself, then the situation changes completely.
The strong will never allow the weak to challenge their status and bottom line. Bai Xi has personally verified this many times since she transmigrated.
She wanted to complete the handover smoothly and didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble.
"The undead are bloodthirsty, and I need to restrain my killing urges before I return to the mainland."
Bai Xi sighed inwardly, but still explained it to this gentleman.
With just one sentence, Safa understood Baixi's motives and direction, and why she wanted to go to the city lord's mansion.
"If you truly feel no sadness, grief, or resistance in your soul, aren't you afraid that the being you borrow is human?"
Safa was surprised by the calmness with which Baishi spoke.
She's walking a tightrope right now. If she can't control her bloodlust, she'll kill an innocent human, someone who was once her own kind.
Almost every undead has faced similar situations, and some have even become psychologically disturbed, unable to accept the situation at first, and later taking pleasure in slaughtering their own kind.
He would let his fellow tribesmen die and become spirits to keep him company.
But if this happened to Bai Xi, and she saw that the same situation could happen to her, wouldn't she feel uneasy and sad?
Although Safa was a demon, he had seen many races, both human and other races, and they all had similar emotions.
He couldn't feel it at all in Bai Xi.
This made him increasingly curious about Bai Xi.
"Demon King, do you spend your days paying attention to such trivial matters?"
Bai Xi was also a little curious. Every question Safa asked was from an angle she had never thought of before, or rather, a question that she didn't need to consider at all.
Because there's no need for it.
But Safa seems to find her idea quite unique.
Could it be that the beings who can connect with demons in hell are all cowardly, indecisive creatures?
"..."
Safa was once again rendered speechless by Baishi's question.
He certainly doesn't pay attention to these things every day; he only asked because Bai Xi's reaction was unusual.
But if he says that, it would seem like he's doing nothing all day, as if he really is paying attention to these things every day. Denying it would just be a forced attempt to cover it up, and the situation would definitely be even more awkward.
"Never mind, do you still want to come with me to the city lord's mansion?"
After waiting for a long time, Bai Xi sighed helplessly before speaking.
She didn't expect any decent answer from Safa, but during their conversation, they had already arrived at the city lord's mansion in the city of the Undead King.
Among them might be the Bone Lord, an old acquaintance. After thinking about it for a moment, she felt that bringing Safa in would at least double the chance of conflict.
"Can't we go in?"
Safa was puzzled.
With Bai Xi's current strength, the lord here would surely not refuse to lend him a living being.
Moreover, with him being a powerful demon, any lord here who refuses would be a fool.
"No, I mean there's an 80% chance that the guys in here have a grudge against me. If a fight breaks out later and you're planning to help, you can come in with me."
“If you don’t intend to help, I don’t want you to come in with me. After all, I’ll be angry if I see you watching a play.”
"But if you insist on going in and want to see the show, I have no other way to stop you."
Bai Xi was frank and straightforward, revealing all her innermost thoughts.
Sincerity is always the ultimate weapon.
After giving Bai Xi a strange look several times, Safa suddenly curled up a wicked smile.
"I plan to go in and take a look."
He chose the option that would make Bai Xi feel the most uncomfortable.
"oh."
Bai Xi was not surprised at all. She simply nodded calmly and turned to walk inside.
She didn't know if it was because she had become a ghost, but she had become the kind of person she most wanted to be—an emotionally stable person.
Even if provoked, they won't get angry.
But perhaps they think the current Demon King is a bit childish?
Like a mischievous little brat.
The sky over the Western Continent is always gloomy, with no sunny days. The skulls above the Necromancer's City occasionally spew out eerie green flames, shrouding the entire city in a terrifying atmosphere.
At that time, the Demon King and the newly awakened Queen of the Dead stepped into the city lord's mansion of the royal city to attend a banquet for which they had not been invited.
Or perhaps... a massacre.
