Insight

While Bai Mo and the Giant Shark were locked in a fierce battle, something else was also happening within the space of the Great Blade Martial God.

On a stone table on the beach, Arcueid curiously examined the man before her, then timidly asked:

"Um, doesn't it hurt?"

Following her gaze, Great Saber noticed that she was referring to the wounds on her body and face; she had no ulterior motives and was simply asking a question.

"It's nothing, just old wounds from the past. It's been with me for so long, I'd feel strange without it. You're much more polite than that kid was when he first came." Great Saber shook his head, his tone devoid of emotion, like an old man discussing some old stories.

"That's true, Bai Mo always makes me angry with just a few words." Arcueid nodded in deep agreement.

"Then you still like him? Wouldn't it be better to go find your own happiness? With your power, what can't you get?" Great Saber took a sip of tea; the tea leaves, which usually made his mouth water, now tasted bitter as they went down his throat.

He inwardly grumbled, wondering why this had to fall on his shoulders; wasn't it supposed to be under the jurisdiction of the Dark Side?

Although I know that if Arcueid were to encounter darkness, that guy would probably start brainwashing him immediately, I still don't think that's something I should be doing. Thinking back, the only people I could call lovers in my life were Gale and Heavenly Venerable?

Upon hearing this, Arcueid, like someone at a banquet discussing their area of expertise, replied with a mixture of shyness and unwavering certainty:

"Because Bai Mo said that he genuinely wanted me to be happy. Living in the Millennium Castle, I always thought I didn't deserve happiness, but he just grabbed my shoulders and negated all those foolish thoughts I had in the past."

She paused, then, her face beaming with happiness, said:

"I know... he meant for me to find someone else who would love me. He didn't have that kind of desire for me; he simply wanted me to be happy... but this kind of unconditional love only made me want to hold on to him even tighter and never let go again."

Isn't that wonderful? Maybe one day you'll meet someone who loves you like that too. After all, you're Bai Mo's master, right? He must want you to be happy too. By then, all your wounds will have healed.

"It's just that I'm greedy; I want to have him, to have that special love in his heart, so that's how I am."

After saying this, Arcueid was no longer restrained. This woman, whose mind was filled with nothing but sunshine, spoke words that silenced Great Saber. At that moment, he inexplicably thought of the words he had Hell at the meeting.

He sighed, thinking to himself: Now, the only way to make this woman give up is through reality.

"But you also know, that kid comes from another world. On the other side, he..."

"I can guess. He's probably got a lot of women into trouble. Honestly, why didn't I run into him first?" Arcueid pouted. Just when Great Saber thought he was finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and could finally end this suffocating conversation, Arcueid's words made him pause in his tea drinking.

"Actually, I don't mind."

Great Saber:?

Not only him, but many others in the Martial God Space shared the same expression as Great Saber.

Arcueid continued, "If that makes him happy, then I'll be happy too, but Ciel can't be in there! Absolutely not just her!"

At this moment, Great Saber suddenly felt a sense of absurdity, and then a sense of powerless relief. Yes, what kind of normal person could be in contact with that kid?

The reason why Great Saber wanted Arcueid to give up was simply because she was unlikely to be able to defeat Shi. At the same time, he had personally witnessed how Bai Wunan had tormented himself to the point of mental breakdown because of two women, and he did not want such a thing to happen to his disciple.

But now that she's like this, what can I say?

Women are such a hassle. Great Saber sighed and said, "Next time we meet, tell that kid to take good care of you."

Don't let some woman ruin you. Of course, he didn't say this aloud, because the person in front of him probably wouldn't hide anything from Bai Mo. And the current situation between Bai Mo and Shi is like Schrödinger's cat; what will happen when the two meet is anyone's guess.

Let me think about something else. I heard that the Tiandao and the Giant Shark are like a hot spring for bathing; should I build one too?

Upon hearing Bai Mo's master say this, Arcueid was overjoyed.

This means they've agreed, right? The parents have all nodded in agreement, which means that whatever I do, at least things are fine here, right? Just as she was about to speak again, a distortion came from the space not far away, and a person walked over.

The newcomer wore glasses, had neatly styled hair, and wore a simple yet sophisticated overcoat with a knife at his waist.

Upon seeing the Great Saber, Da Dao raised an eyebrow and said, "Wouldn't it be better to just throw those two old bastards away? If you take them with you, you'll never have a peaceful day again."

Hell laughed and said, "There's no other way. After all, they used to be subordinates of my family. I can't just let them get lost in some unknown space forever. Besides, I just happen to need a clothes drying rack and a knife holder. I've gotten used to using them for so long."

"But it seems I've come at an inopportune time; isn't that kid here?"

"He went to find the Giant Shark. Right now, only this little girl is here," Great Saber replied, while Hell's gaze swept over Arcueid, as if a cold scalpel were dissecting her.

So that's how it is. The source of the power is that thing, huh? Heh, this little girl doesn't want to be left behind, so she's ignoring the thing inside her. I guess that guy's noticed too, but he doesn't want to alert him?

Hell glanced around and immediately sensed something. Then he chuckled, "Looks like I came to the right place. Little girl, how about we go over there for a cup of tea?"

Atop a mountain range, a small house stood. Arcueid gazed around curiously, her eight hundred thousand horsepower seemingly giving her no sense of the vastness of the area. From the air, the space of Hell appeared far too large, perhaps more than twice the size of the Great Saber.

The style of the hut is ordinary, with dried corn and chili hanging on the outside, and the blessings on it.

Hell didn't enter the house, but simply sat down at the stone table in the courtyard. He beckoned to the Sun and Moon Elders, who were too weak to stand, and instructed them, "Bring tea, three cups. You two good-for-nothings, keep your hands steady, don't break them."

The Sun and Moon Elders, glanced at Hell, then revealed expressions of resentment. Although they had escaped that damned wretch, they had come full circle and ended up serving under Hell again.

Although his expression was unpleasant, he still skillfully picked up the teapot and teacups, took out three cups, and filled them with tea one by one.

"Is anyone else here?" Arcueid, somewhat puzzled, while Hell simply smiled and said:

"Aren't there three people here? The one inside you, aren't you going to come out and have a chat?"

Upon hearing this, Arcueid froze on the spot. Hell's expression remained calm, a smile playing on his lips, giving the impression that everything was in the man's hands.

"Okay, stop standing, sit down."
