Naturally, Xiao Bai’s desperate cry did not make the protagonist succubus feel guilty. He shrugged and said in his usual relaxed manner, "The problem is that I’m not sure myself, 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 right?"

"…You’ll know when we get there." Xiao Bai hesitated for a moment but ultimately did not tell the protagonist succubus. After all, someone as unreliable as the protagonist succubus was rare in the world. Even people meeting him for the first time could instinctively sense 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 protagonist 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 foolish adventurer’s idea of ‘I want to see what’s at the end of the ice sea’ and keep walking until you can’t walk anymore, then say ‘sorry’ to me? Should I kill you then? Should I kill you then? Should I kill you then?"

"Do you think I’m like you?!" Xiao Bai almost couldn’t resist beating up the protagonist succubus.

Ever since the protagonist succubus said something like "I’ll do whatever I want" a few days ago, Xiao Bai had made up his mind that no matter what, he would never become someone like the protagonist succubus. At this moment, he was in a particularly sensitive state, and the protagonist succubus’s words had a significant impact on him.

However, Xiao Bai also knew that he needed to give the protagonist succubus an explanation. So he had to hold his breath and try to speak as calmly as possible to the protagonist succubus:

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

"At most three days, that’s what you said." The protagonist succubus repeated this after hearing Xiao Bai’s words. Then he pulled out a contract from his dimensional bag:

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

Xiao Bai was stunned. The three days he mentioned earlier were just to calm the protagonist succubus. It wasn’t really true that they would reach the destination in just three days. The penalty for breach of contract on the contract the protagonist succubus gave him was a significant amount. He already owed him more than 20,000.

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

Three days later, as expected, the two did not reach the destination Xiao Bai had in mind. The protagonist succubus took the opportunity to harshly criticize Xiao Bai, then skillfully and proficiently pulled out the contract. In a fit of rage, feeling his dignity was hurt, Xiao Bai signed his name without a word.

After that, the situation spiraled out of control.

One led to two, two led to three, and so on. The protagonist succubus, who had a taste for it, would seize every opportunity to add to his already substantial commission.

At the same time, to prevent Xiao Bai from going back on his word, the protagonist succubus, under the guise of a deposit, advance payment, and collateral, took several family heirlooms from Xiao Bai, including the sword his mother gave him, which he cherished the most.

The gloomy weather, the heavy snow, the protagonist succubus’s sarcastic remarks, and his overly energetic performance, coupled with the increasing contracts and debts, made Xiao Bai feel suffocated. Every moment of the journey with the protagonist succubus was a constant torment to his soul.

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

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

Unfortunately, the area was covered in snow and wind, with no sign of anyone. Apart from the protagonist succubus, he hadn’t seen another person. The protagonist succubus claimed to be an atheist—though the protagonist succubus didn’t say it that way. By the flickering campfire, the protagonist succubus solemnly told Xiao Bai that he believed in “beep” and was willing to dedicate his life to the cause of “beep.”

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. So, it made sense to call the protagonist succubus an atheist.

In any case, Xiao Bai was both physically and mentally exhausted, following an atheist human mage deep into 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 the course of a month, neither the protagonist succubus nor Xiao Bai fell ill. It was just that Xiao Bai felt mentally drained.

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

"Ah, ah, finally, finally."

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

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

"What’s wrong? Did you eat something bad and need to go to the bathroom?"

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

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

"You—” Xiao Bai was about to argue with the protagonist succubus when he heard another roar in the sky. This roar was not as faint as the previous one, which Xiao Bai couldn’t determine.

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

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

The two of them stopped arguing and looked up at the sky simultaneously. They saw a huge white figure diving down from the sky, heading straight for them.

"Run!"

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