He became the White-Haired Evil God after wearing the Seven Curses Rings.

Artorias ignored Cecilia's question.

Her gaze remained fixed on the direction Thanatos and Roland had gone, her brows slightly furrowed.

"The World Tree..."

She murmured to herself.

"What is this now? Roland didn't mention it to me before. What are they preparing behind my back this time?"

She turned around and spoke to Cecilia.

"Let's go, let's continue following them to the foot of the mountain."

Cecilia was almost in tears when faced with Atoris's request.

"Sword Maiden, I..."

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

"Uh...it's nothing."

Cecilia took a deep breath and swallowed back the complaint that was about to come out.

She then transformed into a professional workaholic, leading Artoris back into the shadows and quietly following behind.

To her, Atoris was definitely a rather unusual loli.

Despite being incredibly cute, she is extremely fierce.

I really don't know who she's trying to impress by looking so cute.

Are you one of those fanatical fans in the Empire who showered Artoris with gold coins?

Thinking of this, Cecilia suddenly pictured another petite white figure in her mind.

She sighed, inwardly grumbling to herself.

"Waaah... I really want to see my little Baibai again..."

"It's a pity I only saw her briefly last time before she left, and I didn't even get to say the apology I had prepared..."

Her gaze became somewhat unfocused.

"I really don't know if we'll ever have the chance to meet again..."

……

Once they reached the bottom, Cat took advantage of the break between everyone to occasionally look behind her, secretly observing Xie Bai, who was petting Azsharax like a puppy.

She always felt that Xie Bai's charm had some kind of special magic, and she couldn't help but look behind her.

This is definitely not because she is interested in lolis.

Absolutely not.

Noticing the cat's gaze, Xie Bai smiled secretly and lowered his little hand from Azsarax's head.

Taking advantage of the cat's inattention, Xie Bai quietly circled around behind her and gently tugged at the hem of her clothes.

Upon sensing the tugging, the cat instinctively looked back.

"Wow!"

Upon seeing Xie Bai, the cat's mind went completely blank.

"Why did you suddenly get behind me?"

"Huh? What... can't I appear behind you?"

"Well... not exactly..."

Seeing Xie Bai's innocent smile, Maomao felt a little calmer.

"It was really a bit startling when you suddenly appeared behind me, senior..."

"Huh? Do I look scary?"

"Absolutely not! Senpai, you're actually quite cute... uh, wait a minute."

Realizing she had accidentally blurted it out, the cat instinctively avoided Xie Bai's gaze.

But Xie Bai didn't let her go. Instead, he stayed by her side, hoping she would say something more.

Seeing Xie Bai's expectant gaze, the cat's cheeks flushed slightly, and her eyes gradually became confused.

That's not right...

Why does my heart beat so fast when the other person gets so close to me?

But the other person is so small and so cute.

Could it be... that I really am some kind of perverted lolicon?

Thinking of this, the cat was startled and immediately came to its senses.

"Hmm... What a scary little girl, I almost fell for her. I'd better hug Xiao Ai to regain my senses..."

As it spoke, the cat buried its face in the top of Azsharax's head, which nestled perfectly between the two dragon horns, serving as a natural support.

"Hmm... Kitty, my horns are a bit sharp, be careful..."

Although Azsarax was caught off guard by the cat's sudden action, he was not too resistant.

Seeing this, Xie Bai couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.

She looked up at the taro balls she had just put down, her eyes slightly narrowed.

Feeling Xie Bai's gaze, Yu Yuan turned away nonchalantly.

He would never tell Xie Bai that he had just used a purification spell to remove the initial charm effect from the cat.

Even if he didn't say it, Xie Bai could guess what Yu Yuan had made.

Unless someone deliberately tries to suppress their presence, Xie Bai's 99 points of charm will make them stand out.

Even if Xie Bai hadn't learned any skills related to charm, he could still charm some weaker people with just a smile.

Cat has just entered the demigod realm and is not yet strong enough to withstand Xie Bai's close-range attacks.

Facing Xie Bai's scrutinizing gaze, Yu Yuan pretended that the weather was fine and looked up.

"Um... cough, everyone else is here now. Senior, why don't you say hello?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Bai averted his gaze and turned to look at the newcomer.

Yu Yunsheng, and also Alania.

"Huh? Kitty, and Xiao Ai, you're here..."

Upon seeing the two people standing side by side, Yu Yunsheng instinctively greeted them.

"By the way, bro, when are we...?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Yunsheng saw that petite white figure.

Thank you.

The white-haired loli who generated the most discussion throughout the entire game.

The last time we met was when she rescued Elania.

However, after Elania woke up, the other party disappeared.

I thought we wouldn't have any more contact after that, but I didn't expect to see each other a second time so soon.

Upon seeing Xie Bai, Yu Yunsheng instinctively glanced at Elania beside her.

She remembered the promise she made with Elania when she joined the Wheel of Fate...

I won't get involved with other lovely girls in the wheel of fate.

Especially since she had inadvertently mentioned that one of her idols was among them.

Although the idol wasn't explicitly identified, one could probably guess who he was just by looking at Xie Bai, who seemed so out of place.

However, to Yu Yunsheng's surprise, Elania did not react too strongly.

On the contrary, she could see a faint hint of tension on Elania's face.

nervous?

Yu Yunsheng was taken aback.

Although Elania and Xie Bai were not familiar with each other, Xie Bai was still Elania's savior.

I don't think I should feel nervous or scared, right?

However, Yu Yunsheng quickly recovered from the problem.

She looked at the taro balls not far from Xie Bai.

"Brother, I underestimated you. I didn't expect you could even bring this person along."

As she spoke, Yu Yunsheng pretended to be nonchalant and indifferent to Xie Bai, and pulled Alania past Xie Bai.

During this time, Xie Bai's gaze swept across Arania's, causing Arania to subconsciously turn her head away.

When asked by Yu Yunsheng, Yu Yuan simply shrugged.

"Well... as you know, Bai is also a member of the Wheel of Destiny, so he's considered our senior. This trip is quite dangerous, and since Senior Bai is here, we invited him to come and provide protection."

"But we still have the tower..."

At this moment, Yu Yunsheng saw the seriousness in Yu Yuan's eyes.

That was the kind of look that Yu Yuan would secretly convey only when something big happened in her family when she was a child and she had just returned home and didn't understand anything.

Thanks to the tacit understanding between the siblings, Yu Yunsheng quickly understood what Yu Yuan wanted to express.

"Is that so..."

She quickly adjusted her tone and gave a polite smile.

"I didn't expect that Senior Bai is not only powerful, but also as kind as he appears. He's even willing to take the time to help us newbies with small favors."
