"Alright, I understand," the Traveler said after Paimon spoke, and then quickly walked up to the demon to observe her condition.
"Hmm... Don't worry, there are no fatal injuries, just knocked out," the Traveler told Paimon after looking at her situation.
"Phew... It's good that she's okay. Could you please let Paimon out again? She must have been locked up for a long time," Paimon said, finally relieved to hear the Traveler's words.
"Hahaha~ What a pitiful little guy. Alright, I'll let her out,"
The Traveler chuckled, adjusted the demon's posture to lean against the wall, and then walked towards the depths.
"Phew... I'm exhausted today. Dealing with prisoners and that succubus. Damn Scaramouche, always causing trouble for us... That damned puppet is finished!"
"Sigh... I still have to take Paimon to the hospital later. This will waste a lot of time. Lumine will probably worry again..."
"And that succubus, her escape is definitely like letting a tiger return to the mountains. Although in terms of raw strength, she's definitely not as good as me, she has that ability to restrict my elemental power. If I'm caught off guard and she gets me, it'll be bad..."
The Traveler thought as she manipulated her own elemental power, quickly expelling all the cold energy from her body.
"Ah~ I feel much better now. I almost froze to death just now." The Traveler stretched her body, feeling much recovered, and then stood up and came to the demon's side to check again.
"Hmm... Indeed, no fatal injuries. Phew... I didn't expect you to be targeted by that Scaramouche. I really don't know if my decision to upgrade you back then was right... Sigh... Forget it, after ten thousand primogems, I'll upgrade you first. My one-third strength is indeed still too weak..."
"Ying! Paimon! Are you guys okay!" a familiar voice called out from the depths of the prison, followed by Paimon flying over quickly. Her eyes were red, and it was clear she had been crying.
"Wuwuwu... I missed you so much. It was so dark in there, and there were spiders and cockroaches, it was so scary." Paimon, after扑ing into the Traveler's arms, cried uncontrollably again, tears wetting her chubby face.
"Yes, I'm here to save you. You're safe now, don't cry, don't cry~" The Traveler patted Paimon's back and said gently.
"Ahem... When I let someone out just now, that someone claimed to be very brave and slept through the whole thing," the Traveler said, walking slowly from where Paimon had flown, a mischievous smile on her face as she looked at Paimon.
"Hmph... I haven't seen Ying in so long that I cried from excitement, okay? If you keep talking, I'll let Lumine beat you up," Paimon wiped her tears and said angrily to the Traveler.
"Hahaha~ No, I was wrong, alright?"
"Hmph~ You know what's good for you (￣へ￣)" Paimon haughtily turned her little head.
"But speaking of which, I did save your lives, didn't I? Ying, do you think I can borrow your help to haggle for me one more time because of this?"
"Hmm... As long as you promise to help me carry Paimon to the hospital, if you agree, I'll let you haggle three times, not just once," the Traveler said after thinking.
"Deal~"
The Traveler smiled and agreed, then walked to Paimon's side and picked her up.
"Let's go~"
"Yes, Paimon, keep up," the Traveler nodded and followed the Traveler's footsteps out of the prison...
A while later...
On the road...
"So, after he captured you and brought you to the prison, he left by himself?"
The Traveler organized the clues Paimon had just told her and asked.
"Mhm, judging by his appearance, he seemed to have urgent matters to attend to, and didn't seem to intend to kill us."
"Hmm... Could his true objective not be the prison?" Such strange behavior made the Traveler start to ponder.
"Hmm... Traveler, besides telling you he was going to the prison, did he tell you anything else?"
"Hahaha, is it really okay to ask me so openly?"
"Ah, this... That's true..."
"Right? But it's not impossible for me to tell you, as long as you help me haggle one more time~"
"e
"Sorry, sorry. It's my first time giving someone a massage, so I don't have much experience," Paimon said sheepishly, sticking out her tongue.
"Emm... Are you two enemies in your past lives..." The Traveler watched their absurd actions and shook her head helplessly.
