Chapter: 2. She Seems to Be Flirting with Me!
Crossing the snowy mountains and traversing the plains, the trail of the carriage left the noisy battlefield far behind.
As they approached the Royal Capital, the desolate wasteland of the border battlefield was replaced by lush and beautiful scenery.
In places where the flames of war had not reached… truly were rare moments of peace sought after in these years.
The ornate and brilliantly decorated carriage moved to the front of the army without the need for any escort.
The horses raised by the Heroic family were incredibly intelligent; they could find their way back to the capital city without any human control of the reins.
It is no exaggeration to say that these fine horses could go into battle and fight on their own! Moreover,
they would neigh loudly too!
But even though the carriage was closed and mysterious…
it could not prevent the silver-haired girl, sitting inside as a captive, from looking as cheerful as a child going on an outing!
Princess Xue Fei, sitting steadily in the carriage, swung her little feet wrapped in white frilly socks and dark purple boots in the air.
At that moment, she was using her unique magic, Visual Penetration, to extend her sight beyond the closed carriage and enjoy the scenery along the way~
Xialet’s brow twitched slightly… she couldn’t help but admire Xue Fei’s composure.
The messenger carrying battle reports had already rushed thousands of miles to both capitals, and by now, the leaders of the Demon Territory and Aulus Kingdom must have learned of the chaotic results…
Yet Xue Fei was still in the mood to admire the scenery.
As Xialet grumbled about this, she couldn’t help but continually observe Xue Fei’s slightly melancholic but beautiful face.
She was completely captivated.
While Xue Fei was enjoying the scenery with her magic, she naturally did not notice the fervent gaze fixed upon her.
“Wow… the human countries are indeed beautiful! Lakes, high mountains, trees, hills, oh my, and big dogs! The Demon Territory hardly has such scenery!”
Saying this, Xue Fei fell into a brief contemplation, rubbing her chin with her hand as she thought.
“Speaking of which, this kind of scenery feels like something only seen in my past life…? Such a distant memory, it’s really nostalgic!”
“Xue Fei, are you thinking about the past?” Xialet, sitting opposite her, said softly, “Are you thinking about… before we were born into this world?”
“I suppose so.”
Xue Fei paused for a moment and slowly turned her head towards Xialet.
“I mean, Xialet, you remember, right? In our previous world, such scenery usually appeared in ‘parks’, right? There were even boats on the lakes, if I remember correctly, we even sat on a boat together?”
“Yeah… thinking about it makes me feel how fast time has passed; that was actually more than twenty years ago.”
“Ha~ Speaking of how time flies, isn’t it because we haven’t had a moment of peace since we came to this world? I was born into the Demon Royal Family, and you were born into the Human Hero family. What’s up with our bad luck! We came to another world and still can’t live a peaceful life, it’s really ridiculous!”
“Don’t complain~ If it weren’t for that incident, I doubt we would have had the chance to recognize each other in this lifetime. So, it might actually be a good thing; because of my heroic status, I could openly come to bring you along. Isn’t that pretty good?”
“Oh, that’s true~”
Xialet and Xue Fei sat facing each other in the well-insulated carriage.
Xue Fei, dressed in a black dress, with her stunning silver hair flowing down to her waist, blinked her purple eyes, exuding a lively spirit.
Although she was about 1.5 meters tall—well, just barely acceptable…
Her youthful and slightly childish face made this Demon Princess lack a sense of authority; her every move was instead more endearing.
Especially her swinging little feet made it hard for Xialet to tear her gaze away…
—Of course, this conclusion was entirely from Xialet’s perspective.
If others were to comment, they would surely say that Xue Fei was a ruthless and heartless Demon Witch.
Xialet had already concealed her Hero’s armor made of gathered magic.
Her pure white dress perfectly showcased her excellent height of 1.7 meters, with golden hair framing her bright green eyes, elegant yet regal.
Naturally, what stood out most about her…
might just be the ample curves that were cleverly covered by the loose-fitting fabric of her dress, truly befitting of a Hero!
This was also the very position that made Xue Fei’s brow twitch madly… gazing at her with a dumbfounded expression.
“Xue Fei…? What are you looking at?”
“Cough… It’s nothing, I was just wondering what you eat to grow so extravagant. Don’t think you can fool my eyes by wearing clothes that hide your figure… my unique magical ability can see through all illusions.”
“Ah?”
“Just kidding, you don’t need to worry about it.”
Xue Fei withdrew her Visual Penetration used for “appreciating the scenery.”
It was indeed Xue Fei’s unique magic.
This magic could only be used by her in this world.
Her unfortunate father, the Demon King, had said that throughout history, there had never been visual-type magic.
When the Demon King heard that his precious daughter could not only use Visual Penetration but also extend her eyesight to see very far away, he couldn’t help but laugh in delight; his joyful laughter rang throughout the entire Demon King’s Castle!
He had said long ago!
His daughter was absolutely a great genius blessed by the Demon God!
So how did Xue Fei come to understand such a remarkable skill?
It’s quite simple.
When she was little, fishing by the lake outside the castle, she sat for half a day without catching a single fish.
At that time, little Xue Fei got angry and, in a fit of rage, awakened the world’s unique visual magic.
With it, no fish in the lake could escape!
Now she didn’t even need a fishing rod; she jumped into the lake out of frustration to wrestle hand-to-hand with a big fish that was bigger than her head!
With biting and grabbing, kicking and hitting, the princess’s actions left the guards around the lake speechless.
This was also the original source of the Demon Princess’s nickname “Ruthless Xue Fei.”
Guards: We are witnesses; the princess was decisive, and all the fish in the lake were piled on the shore, with hardly any surviving.
Fish: I am a fish from that incident; I can only say it was too brutal, really.
Cough… but after all, this visual magic usually wouldn’t be activated!
What just happened was an accident.
Who knew that while I was admiring the scenery, Xialet would suddenly start talking to me?
Mm, if there’s any blame, it must be on her!
Watching Xue Fei, who had her arms crossed and was nodding repeatedly, the clueless Xialet tilted her head in confusion.
“Xue Fei…? Are you thinking about something strange?”
“No, absolutely not; if you feel that way, then you must be the strange one.”
“Is that so…?”
“Yes, you’re quite odd.”
Xue Fei could always stand proudly on the moral high ground without losing.
In contrast… Xue Fei glanced down at her own chest, appearing somewhat pitiful.
It was only a small rise, hardly noticeable.
Sigh, it doesn’t matter; she usually didn’t care about such meaningless comparisons.
After all, before reincarnating into this world, in her past life, she wasn’t a girl, so instinctively, she didn’t pay much attention to the development of her chest.
So even though she had been reincarnated as a girl, having lived as one for nearly twenty years, she still wouldn’t care about this… cough, really doesn’t care!
—Xue Fei pinched her small chest that could be grasped in one hand, letting out a small animal-like whimper.
Inside the carriage lingered a reassuring light floral fragrance from Xialet.
Xue Fei rarely reminisced about her previous life when she was alone.
After all, her past memories weren’t particularly pleasant.
But now that Xialet was here, many memories began to surge uncontrollably in Xue Fei’s mind.
Xue Fei rested her hands on her chin and gradually fell into contemplation…
—Xue Fei had memories of her past life.
In her previous life, she lived in a place called Earth.
“I say, Xialet, do you remember what happened in our past life?”
“Um, I remember some things.”
“I’ve actually forgotten a lot… it’s been so long, and I’ve seen plenty of scenery; it’s so boring. If you remember anything interesting, do share~”
“It’s fine if you want me to share… but I don’t remember much… um… what I remember clearly is mostly just everything about you, Xue Fei. As for other trivial matters, I might not recall them very well?”
“Oh, oh, your memory doesn’t seem to be so good either; you only remember everything about me… huh?!”
Xue Fei had no evidence.
But she seriously suspected…
this silly woman, she seems to be flirting with me!
