Of course, Xiao Bai's desperate cry did not make the main character, the succubus, have a change of heart. He shrugged and said in his usual carefree manner, "The problem is, I don't have a clue, young master. Up until now, I don't even know where we're going or what we're supposed to do. Do you think that's reasonable?"

"… You'll know when we get there." Xiao Bai hesitated a bit but ultimately didn't tell the succubus. After all, a character as unreliable as the succubus was rare in the world. Even someone meeting him for the first time could instinctively feel his untrustworthiness, and even those who had known him for a long time found it hard to guess what he was thinking.

This made the succubus very unhappy:

"What if you're going to some super dangerous place? Or what if you, this lunatic, are just aimlessly wandering with the idea of 'I want to see what's at the end of the ice sea,' and you keep walking until you can't walk anymore, then say 'sorry' to me? Would I kill you then, would I kill you then, or would I kill you then?"

"Do you think I'm like you?!" Xiao Bai almost couldn't resist the urge to beat up the succubus.

Ever since the succubus had said, "I'll do whatever I want," like a lunatic a few days ago, Xiao Bai had made up his mind that no matter what, he absolutely, absolutely did not want to become someone like the succubus. At this moment, he was particularly sensitive, and the succubus's words had a significant impact on him.

But at the same time, Xiao Bai knew he needed to give the succubus some explanation. So he had to hold his breath and try to speak as calmly as possible:

"It won't be like that. This time, I really have a serious matter to attend to. We've been traveling for several days, and we're almost there. According to the plan, it should take just two more days, yes, at most three days. In three days, we'll reach our destination."

"Three days at most, that's what you said." The succubus repeated this after hearing Xiao Bai's words, then pulled out a contract from his dimensional bag:

"By the abyss above and below, young master, how about you sign this?"

Xiao Bai was immediately stunned. The three days he mentioned earlier were just to calm the succubus down. It wasn't really true that they would reach the destination in just three days. The contract the succubus gave him now stipulated a significant penalty for breach of contract. He already owed the succubus over 20,000.

The two of them were at an impasse for a while, but in the end, Xiao Bai, who needed the succubus's help, had to give in and sign the humiliating treaty.

Three days later, as expected, the two did not reach Xiao Bai's destination. The succubus took the opportunity to harshly criticize Xiao Bai, then skillfully and smoothly pulled out the contract. In a fit of rage, feeling his dignity wounded, Xiao Bai signed his name without a word.

After that, the situation spiraled out of control.

One thing led to another, and the succubus, who had already a substantial commission, kept adding to it whenever he had the chance.

To prevent Xiao Bai from going back on his word, the succubus, under the pretense of a deposit, advance payment, and collateral, took several family heirlooms from Xiao Bai, including his most beloved sword, a gift from his mother.

The gloomy weather, the strong wind and heavy snow, the succubus's sarcastic remarks, and his overly energetic performance, coupled with the increasing contracts and debts, left Xiao Bai gasping for breath. Every moment of traveling with the succubus was a constant torment to his soul.

At this point, Xiao Bai believed that the succubus was not a human but a devil who had been born in the wrong body. Unlike ordinary devils, this one did not gain souls by offering benefits but by digging into one's flesh.

Xiao Bai also believed that he was at his most vulnerable point in life, both mentally and materially. At this moment, if any priest of any god came to him to recruit followers, no matter how awkward or unmagical their words were, he would easily fall into their trap.

Unfortunately, the area was covered in wind and snow, with no sign of anyone else. Apart from the succubus, he hadn't seen another person. The succubus claimed to be an atheist—though his exact words were different. By the flickering campfire, the succubus solemnly told Xiao Bai that he believed in "beep" and was willing to fight for "beep" all his life.

However, after much thought, Xiao Bai couldn't recall when the multiverse had a god named "beep." According to the rules of the multiverse, believing in a false god or a non-existent god was the same as not believing in any god at all. So, it made sense to call the succubus an atheist.

In any case, Xiao Bai was both physically and mentally exhausted, following a faithless human mage through the depths of the ice sea for nearly a month. Fortunately, both of them had good constitutions, and with the great invention of the dimensional bag, the supply issue was not a problem. So, over this month, neither the succubus nor Xiao Bai fell ill. However, Xiao Bai felt mentally drained.

"Thank goodness. This kind of life can finally end. Finally, finally, finally…" At the destination, a massive crack in the ice layer that did not exist on any geographical record or map, Xiao Bai knelt down in excitement, his eyes red.

"Ah, ah, finally, finally."

While Xiao Bai was deeply moved, the succubus also let out a huge sigh of relief. He had been annoyed the whole way, several times thinking of just stabbing Xiao Bai and going back. Finally, today, this matter had a conclusion.

Xiao Bai found the succubus's words annoying and involuntarily frowned. Then he was stunned because he heard something very bad, or rather, extremely bad. The succubus had heard it two seconds earlier but, to maintain his mage persona, couldn't hide his high perception of 16 points and pretended to hear nothing, looking at the dazed Xiao Bai.

"What's wrong? Did you eat something bad and need to go to the toilet?"

"No." Xiao Bai glanced at the succubus with a look of extreme disgust and said, "Mage, are you good at divination magic?"

"Of course not." The succubus answered matter-of-factly, "If I were, would I bother to be a mercenary and trick you? I would have gone to find those legendary treasures long ago."

"You—" Xiao Bai was about to argue with the succubus but heard another roar in the sky. This time, the roar was not faint, and Xiao Bai could clearly hear it.

The roar was extremely loud, deafening, and immediately caught the attention of both the succubus and Xiao Bai.

This also proved that the source of the sound was getting closer.

The two of them stopped arguing and, without a word, looked up at the sky. They saw a huge, pure white figure diving down, with them as the target.

"Run!"

After saying this, the succubus ran off. Xiao Bai, after a moment of hesitation, followed closely behind, muttering to himself that this mission had left him doing nothing but running—
