Erebus felt increasingly uneasy about it.

He stared into Wen Yubai's eyes, trying to find a flaw in them.

"Don't try anything funny, I won't fall for it."

Wen Yubai's eyes were sincere. "Erebus, I truly want to submit to the darkness."

Erebus categorically denied it: "Impossible."

"Who doesn't know that you, Holy Son of Light, are resourceful, meticulous, loyal to the Temple, and devoted to its well-being? What you've done isn't for the good of the Temple?"

Wen Yubai: ...

He really wanted to retort, "Why don't you look at what you've done before you say that?"

As an undercover agent, what you did in the Temple that wasn't making money for the Temple?

But Erebus did not reflect on his actions; his mind was only focused on the things the Son of Light had done, each one intricately linked and subtly meaningful, ensuring that the Temple never suffered any loss.

He became increasingly certain that the Holy Son had said those words in an attempt to gain his trust and then escape.

"Yu Bai, you don't need to pretend anymore. I admit you acted very well, but I'm not stupid."

"The High Priest of Light might sell the Temple for money, but you would never betray the Temple."

Erebus crossed his arms, his gaze wary and complex.

"Give up, I won't give you a chance to escape."

Wen Yubai, speechless with grievances: ...

Well, he's really out of ideas.

-

Wen Yubai had no intention of escaping; his destination was the Dark Temple.

Why waste your energy trying to find your own way when there's a readily available ride?

After a brief moment of surprise, Wen Yubai readily accepted the concealment of Erebus's identity.

No wonder they worked so well together before; they were kindred spirits, both wanting to cause trouble in the temple.

Unfortunately, despite risking his life to infiltrate the enemy's territory and dedicating himself to the Dark Temple, Erebus was ultimately stripped of his position by the Dark God, making way for the protagonist.

He was also a pitiful supporting character, Wen Yubai thought to himself.

He wasn't worried about Erebus harming him, because he hadn't sensed any malice from Erebus from the beginning.

This dark prince only uttered a few harsh words, but he never skimped on food, drink, or lodging along the way.

To be honest, Wen Yubai felt a little embarrassed when he heard Erebus pretending to be a cold-blooded villain.

The only downside is that Erebus absolutely refused to untie him.

No matter what he did, Erebus kept an eye on him.

They wouldn't even spare him while he was taking a bath.

If Wen Yubai hadn't desperately refused and vowed never to run away, he would have barely been granted the freedom to take a bath.

Of course, the door was ajar, and Erebus stood guard at the door, ready to prevent him from jumping out of the window.

Wen Yubai could understand that although Erebus still maintained his friendship with him, he was still very uneasy about him from his position.

This contradictory mindset led to Erebus's awkward behavior.

But Erebus was completely overthinking things; he genuinely had no intention of running away.

Erebus was unaware of Wen Yubai's inner thoughts, and even if he had, he wouldn't have believed them.

Erebus could only think that this Holy Son of Light was truly patient.

On the surface, she was incredibly compliant and treated him no differently than before, occasionally conveying to him her firm determination to "turn to darkness."

But Erebus was no fool. The more obedient this Son of Light was, the more it showed that the Son of Light was unfathomable. He must be trying to gain Erebus's trust and then find an opportunity to slip away from him.

Thinking of this, Erebus suddenly felt a pang of sadness.

Former friends have now become enemies, each serving their own masters, so wary of me that they won't even tell me the truth.

Regardless of their inner turmoil, they traveled a thousand miles a day using a carriage and a magic scroll.

The view outside the window changed from plains to rolling mountains, and overhead was a hazy sky with thick, low-hanging clouds.

The mountains are rarely visited by people, and large snowflakes, like goose feathers, fall in a flurry, hitting the faces of the drivers in the wind.

Once they cross this majestic snow-capped mountain, they will reach the Dark Continent.

Erebus's tense heart finally relaxed a little.

He took out a thick white fox fur cloak from his spatial ring, climbed into the car, and covered Wen Yubai completely with it.

Wen Yubai's hands and feet were bound, and he was wrapped in thick winter clothes, making him look like a soft dumpling.

Pure white downy fur hugged his chin, making his handsome face appear even whiter. He looked up, watching Erebus's movements with a hint of helplessness.

Erebus felt as if something had poked his heart.

He quickly looked away.

Although he was a prisoner, Erebus dressed Wen Yubai in more layers than he did, wrapping him up in three layers of clothing. There was also a meditation crystal ball in the carriage, making it warm and cozy.

Wen Yubai was almost sweating, and sighed.

"Erebus, I'm not cold at all."

Erebus noticed Wen Yubai's slightly flushed cheeks and, as if possessed, reached out and touched Wen Yubai's face.

It was indeed hot.

Wen Yubai was startled by his sudden action and instinctively turned his head away.

Erebus had originally intended to withdraw his hand, but Wen Yubai's repulsion was even faster than his withdrawal.

The subtle flutter in my heart instantly cooled, turning into a bitter feeling.

He silently retreated outside the carriage, the cold wind carrying snowflakes hitting his face.

Erebus wiped his face, his expression hidden by his palm, revealing only a pair of slightly confused eyes.

What's wrong with me?

-

Erebus, having found no answer to his question, encountered an uninvited guest.

Snowflakes were falling, and in the empty space ahead, a figure appeared out of nowhere.

Her long pink hair flew wildly in the wind, contrasting beautifully with the white snow, making her look almost unreal.

The man was facing the direction of the carriage, his expression not very clear, but his icy blue eyes seemed to pierce through the wind and snow, deep and cold.

Without a word, Erebus attacked the moment he saw the person, unleashing a torrent of dark magic upon Lovin.

However, these attacks, which would have seriously injured an ordinary mage, were easily deflected by Lovin with a mere wave of his hand.

The next second, Erebus was lifted up by an invisible force and then slammed heavily onto the snow ten meters away, creating a deep crater in the snow.

Erebus gritted his teeth and tried to climb out, but was pushed back down by that force.

Lovin moved his fingers, and the snow pile beside him was scooped up as if by a shovel and poured down on Erebus in the pit.

One handful after another, they buried Erebus, along with his fury, in a massive burial.

The commotion outside made Wen Yubai stick his head out of the car window.

He watched the fight, which was a one-sided battle, but did not speak up to stop it.

Lowin doesn't seem to be here to kill Erebus this time. If he really wanted to make a move, those handfuls of snow just now wouldn't have been snow.

It was more of a childish act of venting than killing him.

After dealing with the bystanders, Lovin turned around, his gaze sweeping over the wind and snow to the carriage.

The young man leaned out of the carriage window, a white fur collar wrapped around his neck, his black hair disheveled by the wind and streaked with snowflakes.

He didn't speak, just looked at him quietly, his clear eyes appearing particularly cold in the wind and snow.

A sense of pleasure welled up in Lovin's heart.

Yu Bai did not stop Him, but pleaded for Erebus.

This shows that after Erebus tied him up, Yu Bai saw through the guy's true colors and no longer felt sorry for him.

Lovin walked to the carriage, tilted his head back, and a bright and gentle smile appeared on his lips.

Those ice-blue eyes seemed to hold the entire clear sky after a snowfall; they were incredibly beautiful.

"Yu Bai".
