Chapter: 67. Information? (4K)
“Here, so what is this thing again, Princess Xue Fei, Princess Belis, do you know her?”
“Wow… this Fire Dragon Clan girl is quite humorous, do all the lizards in your place talk like this?”
“Not really, the lizards in our place don’t talk, just like the ones here. Uh… who are you calling a lizard?!”
“Okay, okay, it seems the Fire Dragon Clan is not only humorous but also has an extremely slow reaction, noted down, noted down…!”
The suddenly arrived Ailer took out a book titled “Diversity of Biological Characteristics” from somewhere, which was one of the works she wrote while traveling the world.
Recording the evident bias against the Fire Dragon Clan, Ailer closed the book and suddenly noticed the dazed blue-haired loli sitting next to Xue Fei.
“Let’s not mention this Fire Dragon Clan… by the way, what kind of species are you?”
“We’re not any kind of species, we’re Xial.”
“Oh, Xial, I know this, the Holy Sword of the Human Race, Holy Sword…?!”
See, Xial, your species is so special that even experts who are well-informed and have traveled the world don’t know what you are.
No, wait…!
Can we stop attacking each other verbally and discuss what the other party is instead?
Emergency family meeting, somehow an extra seat appeared.
An extra seat isn’t a big deal, the key is that a door was sacrificed.
If possible, Xue Fei really wanted to say she didn’t know her, but Xue Fei knew if she said that, the situation would only worsen.
This also led to the current extremely awkward situation.
A group of peculiar individuals mixed together, there should be someone to take charge, right?
Xiya, with a cloud of worry on her forehead, stood up at this critical moment, drawing everyone’s attention.
She was the owner of this mansion and the one who caused the door to fly off, so she had the privilege and duty to speak up; at least she should have the right to do so at this moment.
With an unfriendly gaze directed at the woman who carelessly put away her notebook, Xiya could not show much respect to her.
Not only because she caused the door to fly off but also because she had just been so familiar and carefree, calling out “Xue Feiya.”
Damn it… could this be another woman with an unclear connection to Xue Fei?!
However, strangely, Xiya did not see Belis have her usual dark reaction; instead, she was pretty honest.
But this did not prevent Xiya from questioning angrily, in a mood extremely upset.
“May I ask who you are? Are you here looking for Xue Fei? What is your relationship? And why did you crash the door?”
“Uh… there’s still a human here? Sorry, didn’t notice at first… Well, how could there be no humans in the Aulus Kingdom?”
Ailer placed one hand on her hip, slowly stood up, and with a half-fist gesture pointing to her own face, smiled arrogantly.
“You’re asking about me? Of course I came to visit my little niece! The magic power she radiates, I could sniff it even at the border of your capital city! Did not expect Belis to be here too, haha?”
Xiya blinked quickly. She looked at the woman in front of her, who was slightly inferior in build, but taller and obviously more mature, and combined with her previous words, her simple brain turned for a long time… only then did she reach a conclusion.
“Little niece…? Could you be…?”
“That’s right, I am the Demon Princess, Ailer Hald, hahahaha! Human…! Are you shocked? Don’t worry, I don’t eat people! Hmm…? But… you don’t seem to be an ordinary human, do you? You seem pretty strong?”
“……”
Xiya’s face did turn pale at the speed visible to the naked eye.
But this paleness wasn’t due to fear.
Rather… she realized the special identity of the person in front of her and quickly constructed a terrifying scenario in her mind!
She is Xue Fei’s biological aunt → She can speak in front of Xue Fei’s parents → I just spoke to her with a very bad attitude → She holds grudges → She says bad things about me in front of Xue Fei’s parents → Xue Fei’s parents do not accept me as Xue Fei’s lover → Leading to difficulties in our relationship!
Damn it! I don’t want that kind of thing!
Amidst the confused gazes of everyone, Xiya’s face filled with angry black lines gradually disappeared.
She no longer looked at the poor door that had crashed to the ground but instead maintained a strained smile, walked into the living room, picked up a uniquely designed teapot, filled a cup with steaming premium black tea, and elegantly walked back, placing the teacup on the small armrest beside Ailer.
And her attitude had already undergone a tremendous change.
Xiya could be said to have displayed a lifetime’s worth of grace.
“Aunt, thank you for traveling such a long way, please rest here. This is my mansion, and if you don’t mind, you can stay here for a while… of course, not too long… cough! The environment here is quite nice, I can take you to see the scenery nearby later?”
Xue Fei’s mouth twitched, utterly dumbfounded.
Xiya…! Mind your face, mind your face!
What matters more than personal feelings?
Ailer was also taken aback by the sudden change in the golden-haired girl in front of her, but her focus was completely elsewhere.
She could feel the outstanding strength and potential displayed by this girl in front of her.
“I say… do you want to fight me?”
“!”
Xiya only heard her heart thud.
It’s over!
This is the first meeting, and I’ve reached the level of an ass-kicking impression for the parents!
A fight with her… doesn’t that mean she wants to beat me up?!
Could it be—【Stay away from my little niece】, that kind of development?!
Ailer, who had not fully spent her fighting spirit yesterday, was urging her to battle again.
But just as her words were about to be resurrected, the back of her head had already been attacked!
“Ow…!”
“I told you to know your limits, Aunt?! Could you stop just knowing how to fight all day? If you had a brain for anything other than battle, you’d know we should fix the door first! Go! Fix the door!”
“Ah, I know…! Seriously, you’ve been this impulsive since you were a child… I really don’t know who you take after… Can’t you be a bit more genteel like me?”
“Heh, genteel? That word fits a wild boar better than it fits you.”
“Alright, niece, it’s been a year, and your attack power has increased again!”
Seeing that Xue Fei had already found a hammer and nails and placed them on the ground, Ailer knew she was definitely going to be fixing the door today.
Well… it’s okay, it’s her own door that she broke, she has experience; she doesn’t know how many times she’s fixed the doors of the Demon King Castle’s hall.
Fixing the door is fine; she only wanted to know the identity of the golden-haired simpleton over there.
This question led to a revelation.
Upon asking, Ailer suddenly realized.
“After making all this noise, you’re the Hero, aren’t you?!”
“What noise… I think it’s only you who is making noise…”
“No, no, no, I’m saying you, do you know who I am? Let’s straighten this out.”
Ailer started counting on her fingers but couldn’t quite get it right, it’s clear she wasn’t very good at arithmetic.
“I’m at least from the previous generation of Demon Princesses, and you’re the current Hero of the Aulus Kingdom. Sitting face to face like this, I feel… we might really need to have a fight?!”
“…!”
These words were not just casual chatter.
Ailer leaned on her hammer against her cheek, the pressure radiating from her crimson eyes was suffocating.
Xial had already jumped off her chair, ready to chop someone!
Xiya furrowed her brow; she could determine from this moment that the person before her was stronger than Belis.
Most likely, Six Wings.
Xue Feiya slowly raised her little fist to stand up?
Seeing her cute little niece’s fist, Ailer smiled wryly, retracting her fighting spirit, and casually asked a question.
“Well, don’t be nervous, I just said ‘we might have to fight.’ I actually just want to ask you one question, just answer truthfully.”
“You… you say?”
“Although you are the Hero, you’re staying beside Xue Feiya and have no malicious intent, right?”
“Yes.” Xiya’s reply came without any delay.
Because, let alone malice.
If possible, Xiya would want to bring all the beauty of the world to Xue Fei.
Perhaps sensing the determination in Xiya’s eyes in that instant, Ailer chuckled twice, clapped her hands, and stated her judgment.
“Alright~ I understand, since there’s no malice, you are now our partner!”
“So fast?!”
“What else?”
Ailer cast a sidelong glance at the direction of Xue Feiya.
She was still keeping her fist raised, ready to attack at any moment.
This little girl… other than protecting Belis, she has never shown such protection for anyone else growing up.
That already says enough, right? Xue Feiya has an accurate perception of good and evil since childhood.
Aww, the child has grown up
and has learned to be ready to punch her aunt for a woman!
Although Xiya was not quite sure how she earned trust so easily, being accepted like this… can be considered a delightful surprise, right?
They all had their own words to say endlessly, but only the Little Holy Sword was practical.
She picked up the hammer and nails that had fallen to the ground and tiptoed to knock on the door.
Lady Xue Fei likes hardworking kids.
Then let’s be a hardworking person~
“Hey, Xial, if you’re going to fix the door, then do it; don’t smash the walls. If the wall collapses, fixing it will be more troublesome.”
“Ah… sorry, Lady Xue Fei, I forgot to bring the door…”
Damn it, forgot to bring the door while fixing the door, you really are something else.
There’s really not a reliable one.
No, no, no, there are still reliable ones.
“Aunt.”
“Mm…? What is it, Belis?”
“Nothing, I was just thinking, did you just go through a ‘battle’? It’s hard for me to think of who could make you struggle so much…”
“Oh? You can see that?! But… it wasn’t really a battle, it wasn’t that intense, the key was the opponent’s abilities were too underhanded!”
Belis elegantly pinched her teacup and sat there, quietly observing Ailer’s situation.
Occasionally, the inner side of her fluttering cloak revealed faint bloodstains.
There were signs of burning along the edges of her lightweight armor.
If her aunt was fighting based on physical strength, normally her quick movements would ensure those traces wouldn’t appear on her.
Actually, without Belis reminding her, Xue Feiya had long noticed Ailer’s abnormality.
If she were in perfect condition… seeing a room full of powerhouses, it would be weird not to start a fight first as a greeting for the meeting.
Her not starting a fight signifies she isn’t in great condition right now.
“I say, Aunt, it looks like you didn’t just come here to make a commotion… do you have any information to share?”
“Xue Feiya, your concern for information but not for your aunt is quite heartbreaking.”
Concern for you?
I already said, compared to caring about you, I might as well care if the big fish in the lake have enough oxygen to breathe!
Ailer, with a body almost equivalent to being undead, could regenerate if she were cut in half, so there’s no need to worry.
Ailer blinked, took a sip of tea and then proposed.
“But Xue Fei, I still suggest you call me Sister Ailer like before; calling me Aunt makes me sound so old.”
“Forget it, it’s not about making you sound young or old.”
From the day Xue Feiya was born, Ailer rushed back to the Demon King Castle to appear young and to joke, purposely telling Xue Feiya something like— I’m your sister, okay?
At that time, Xue Fei truly believed it and called her “Sister Ailer” for a long time.
As a result, one day, Father King suddenly said she was his younger sister, and small Xue Feiya suffered a great psychological shock, only then realizing she had been calling her by the wrong generation all along.
If I call you sister, doesn’t that make my dad my brother?
Timani, who had been listening but clearly uninvolved, saw that this powerful Demon figure seemed to want to talk about some secrets, and she patted her skirt and stood up, preparing to leave the living room.
“You continue talking; do you need me to step aside for a moment?”
“It’s fine, Fire Lizard, you can stay here.” Xue Feiya tapped the table to signal her to come back.
Timani was taken aback.
It seems she didn’t expect Xue Feiya to say that.
Soon, she felt a warmth in her heart…
A fleeting smile crept onto her brow.
Hmm… this feeling of being trusted is really nice. You know, since my parents passed away, nobody has said they trusted me…
Well, Demon Princess, you’re really not bad!
“You… ah, fine, since you say so…”
“Mm-hmm, you stay here and peel an orange for me; I just washed my hands and don’t want to touch the oranges anymore, thanks!”
“You wicked girl…! Give me back my feelings of being touched!”
“What feelings of being touched do you even have?!”
