For Ye Xi, there is no need to prepare too much before embarking on a journey.

But if I have to say what has been prepared, it is the elf girl next to her holding a bunch of snacks in her hands.

Yexi itself is a walking shop. You can open the shop panel with just a wave of your hand.

The most amazing thing is its merchandise. Everything you have seen or haven’t seen in the real world before is available here.

Snacks were naturally included. Neither of them had breakfast, so Ye Xi spent a little bit of technology coins to buy some buns.

The scene of the store opening was seen by Charles and Slime, who looked extremely surprised.

But this was expected a long time ago. After all, the technology in this world is not very developed, but his own system contains rich technological elements.

Ye Xi hasn’t decided on the first stop of the journey yet, but plans to think while walking.

Although there are convenient props such as carriages on the road, we haven't gone far.

At this moment, Charles suddenly remembered something and told it to Ye Xi.

"Ye Xi, if you haven't decided where to go yet, why don't you accompany me to a place first?"

"Where?"

As they walked, Charles suddenly slowed down his pace and then slowly said, "I told you before, I was sent by Beelzebub to assassinate you."

"It's been a few days now, and there's been no news."

When Ye Xi heard this, she understood instantly.

According to this, Beelzebub would most likely think that Ciel had betrayed him.

Ye Xi thought casually. Charles had said that there were still hostages on Beelzebub's side. She was a kind-hearted child. If she left them alone, Charles would probably be upset.

"Okay, then go ahead and we'll go our separate ways."

Charles was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Why?"

"You should go back and report your mission. Since you didn't succeed in the assassination, it means you failed."

"There will always be punishment, but sorry, I'm not interested in meeting the Demon King first."

Ye Xi was not interested in this and said it indifferently.

After all, from my own perspective, I was the one who was wronged, so how could I give myself up for nothing?

"If you don't want to go back, just keep following me and I'll take you home."

"But if you insist on going, I won't stop you. But you will face punishment. Aren't you afraid?"

There were ripples in Charles' eyes. She was conflicted, but Ye Xi was right. The mission had failed, and she no longer had to keep circling around that guy.

But what about the hostages?

If I give any unnecessary reasons, I will definitely be refuted. Ye Xi is even more cold-blooded and ruthless than I thought.

Finally, after thinking it over and over again, Ciel said silently: "Okay... Then I'll go back. I'm sorry to have caused you so much trouble, but next time, no, maybe there won't be a next time."

Charles stopped there, looking very lost.

But Ye Xi suddenly smiled and walked over again. However, what Ye Xi said next made Xia feel like crying.

"Let's go, let's go find Beelzebub first."

"Ah? But didn't you say..."

"Why? Can't I change my mind?"

Ye Xi glanced disdainfully at Charles, who was standing there in a daze.

Seeing her look, Ye Xi no longer concealed anything and told Xia Er everything he had just thought.

"Seeing that you have the courage to face failure, I know I won't be wrong."

"I don't want to antagonize you, but you have your own unspeakable secrets. There must be some reason why you have to go back to see the Demon King, right?"

Charles nodded slightly, these words touched his heart.

"I hate Beelzebub and I don't want to be used by her, but what about those innocent lives?"

"You'd better take care of yourself. Besides, you're not alone. You have to say the three words 'I quit' in front of Beelzebub."

Besides Ye Xi, there were many slimes beside Charles, attached to her skin, which seemed like a kind of comfort and companionship.

With them around, Charles can cheer up and at the same time believe in the benefactor who has saved him several times, and break free from the shackles of darkness.

As a judge, Ye Xi's duty is to represent justice, eliminate evil, and save others.

"I will tell you now where Beelzebub lives."

Charles took out a wrinkled, yellowed piece of white paper from his pocket, but there was nothing on it.

"what is this?"

"It's a map, but I cast a little magic on it to make it look worn."

Charles reached out and pressed on the page of the map, then whispered something as if he was chanting a spell.

Then a magical scene appeared. The yellowed paper was visibly renewed in an instant.

A small black dot appeared in the middle of the white paper, and then slowly expanded towards the edge of the paper until it filled the entire paper, and the terrain suddenly appeared on it.

"We are currently in the town of Brooks, north of Jotunheim."

"Beelzebub's lair is in the northwest. We'll first pass through a dense forest. After that, we'll pass through the 'Death Valley'. After a few kilometers, we'll reach the Demon King's Castle."

Based on her current location, Charles determined the direction and pointed to the northwest. Ye Xi looked in that direction and saw a vague black wave looming in the distance.

The distance wasn’t too far, at least I could still see some tree shadows.

"Although I haven't been there, my intuition tells me that it's fraught with danger."

"Of course. Even if she is the seventh demon king, the pressure she brings is greater than that of the demon clan."

After hearing Xia Er's description, Ye Xi began to get excited.

"The [Gluttony] Demon King is probably a bottomless pit. I wonder what she tastes like."

Charles accidentally glanced at Ye Xi. Her eyes were sharp and there was a strange smile on the corner of her mouth. She looked quite interested.

"Ye Xi, what's wrong with you?" Xia Er asked softly.

"Nothing, just thinking."

"Thinking? Are you thinking about how to defeat Beelzebub?"

"Maybe, but it depends more on you. Say whatever comes to your mind, but don't let the pressure get you down."

In this way, Ye Xi and Xiaer set out together towards the northwest forest.

This scene happened to be seen by an unknown person hiding behind the dilapidated wooden house.

"Which direction is that?"

"That's the direction to Death Valley, but the dense forest alone is dangerous."

The sturdy man and the mysterious man watched their gradually leaving backs, and their expressions suddenly changed, as if they knew that there was something dangerous in the dense forest.

"Should we continue to follow?"

"Of course I want it. How could I let go of such a good doll?"

"And you can't swallow this breath, right?"

The strong man knew the danger very well, but in order to save face, he still decided to give it a try, so he naturally stood on the side of the mysterious man.

The other brothers who were following behind could no longer sit still. They decisively gave up the chase, claiming that saving their lives was more important.

But the mysterious man in black robe smiled coldly.

She casually pulled the invisible silk thread, and then a black shadow flashed by.

The bodies of those fleeing brothers were torn into pieces in an instant, and pieces of skin and flesh fell to the ground. This scene scared the strong man directly.

"You can run, but you have to stay alive."

And around these dead pieces of flesh stood a little girl with a broken body.

She was as stiff as a robot, with bloodshot eyes flashing, shaking her head from time to time, and red blood stains at the corners of her mouth.

"Excuse me...Have you seen my doll..."
