Chapter: Chapter 106
“Pfft, so this is what happened afterwards. I bet Xiao Ya was quite scared by you.”
On a bright and sunny afternoon, a cute girl in a black dress sat in a pavilion in the garden, a faint smile on her face, listening to her sister recount a story from not long ago.
Letitia’s recovery speed was not slow; compared to the last time she almost didn’t wake up, this time’s seven-day slumber seemed rather trivial.
Of course, according to the healer who had treated Letitia before, “Don’t treat this method as a routine. After being sick once, it takes at least several months of weakness.”
“Probably, but I did explain properly,” Kira replied with an awkward laugh. “How does it feel to be back in the demon realm?”
“Same as before, I want to play games and see my wife,” Letitia said with a face of utter despair. “Why is there no internet in the demon world?”
“Since Sister is so idle, can you not go and take a look at the accumulated official documents from all these years?” A vein bulged on Kira’s forehead.
Official documents?!
Letitia’s eyes immediately widened with fear. Those documents that filled an entire room?
If she had to deal with all of that, she guessed Kira would have to abdicate.
“I’m still a patient.”
“Since you know you’re a patient, you’d better rest well and don’t think about running away, understand?” Kira glared at her sister. “I’ll move those things over and read them to you one by one. All you need to do is nod or shake your head.”
Kira could handle those minor matters for Letitia, but the accumulated official documents mostly consisted of important matters that Kira could not decide on her own.
It was difficult enough to wait for her sister to return. If she didn’t take advantage of this time when Letitia couldn’t run around to resolve these lingering issues, Kira feared she would have to go to the human world to drag her sister back again soon.
“No~”
“Sister, acting cute is useless.”
Life in the demon realm was as peaceful and quiet as ever, but things were not so stable in the human world.
After Fog City was sealed by sunlight, Hawk Elder and the others disappeared without a trace. Perhaps they had slipped away stealthily while Bai Ling and the others were focused on Letitia, or perhaps they had vanished from this world silently.
Later, the Hero Association scoured almost the entire Central City, but they could not find the old man’s whereabouts.
However, although the person was gone, the本体 of Fog City remained.
It was a beautiful crystal ball, containing an extremely exquisite city model within it. The most striking feature was undoubtedly the clock tower located in the center of the city.
A miniature sun now hung above Fog City, illuminating the city and causing the mist to dissipate.
“It’s truly a magical item. We’ve tried all sorts of methods but couldn’t destroy it,” Sang Zhitong said to Bai Ling beside her, standing behind a bulletproof glass and looking at the crystal ball that was heavily protected.
“Yes, it’s a god’s seal, after all,” Bai Ling nodded. “Is the deciphering of the prophecy book going smoothly?”
“It’s going relatively smoothly, but our people are doing this for the first time, so the process is a bit cumbersome.”
The deciphering of the prophecy book was originally at a standstill, as they did not have the codebook that Kira had mentioned.
Until three weeks ago, when Bai Ling, bored, logged into the game she hadn’t touched in a long time and saw a book lying quietly in her game inventory.
Prophecy Book · One.
Prophecy book? Prophecy book!
Bai Ling felt her idea was absurd, but she was indeed contemplating whether the prophecy book in the game was related to the prophecy book she had obtained.
And after trying it once, she was surprised to find that the prophecy book in the game was the codebook that Kira had mentioned.
Although she didn’t know why the codebook this time was digital, it could at least be used, right?
Thus, the deciphering work proceeded in full swing.
“So, what exactly happened that night?” Sang Zhitong was a little curious. She had lost contact for several hours, and her condition the next day was so poor.
It was hard for her not to overthink.
“I promised others that I couldn’t say,” Bai Ling shook her head. She still didn’t want to reveal Letitia’s true identity to others, even to the senior whom she respected the most.
“Is that so? It can’t be helped,” Sang Zhitong shook her head. Although curious, she also knew her limits. “What about those three kids? I heard they’ve been working very hard recently.”
“Yes, they have great potential,” Bai Ling completely avoided the question. “If they practice diligently, they’ll soon be able to reach the threshold of S-class.”
The only problem was that every night, the Guild Leader would chat with Bai Ling, telling her how much she had gained that day like she was talking to her idol.
Knowing that their idol was right beside them, the enthusiasm that erupted from the three kids was overwhelming for Bai Ling.
However, it was not bad to have a bit of liveliness.
With Letitia gone, Bai Ling felt a sudden emptiness in her heart.
Before, when she was bored, she would go find Letitia. But now, the person downstairs at her place was gone.
Although the furniture and bedding were still there, the girl who never gave anyone a good look was gone.
Will she return?
Bai Ling didn’t know, but she hoped Letitia would return.
If not, she could always go to the demon realm to find Letitia.
But at that time, she would probably be kicked out, right? After all, the only thing she did after entering the demon realm back then was to attack Letitia.
Sigh, what a bother.
…
“The Fire Moth of the elf race was released by you?!” Letitia almost choked on her tea when she heard Kira casually mention her scheme.
She had wondered who heartless person had thrown the Fire Moth into the elf forest, but she never expected it to be her good sister.
“We have to give those elves, who are so idle that mushrooms are about to grow on them, something to do. Otherwise, they’ll just cause trouble for me again,” Kira said nonchalantly. “After all, I was just providing a little help to the elves’ opponents as a concerned citizen. Even if the elves look for someone, they won’t find me.”
She’d rather cause trouble for the elves than have them cause trouble for her. That way, she’d at least be happy.
“Hiss… Kira, that little girl from the beast race, it couldn’t be your doing, could it?”
“I just created an opportunity for her to elope with her lover. I didn’t interfere with anything else,” Kira chuckled, revealing her deeply cunning nature.
“Alas, I wonder when I’ll be able to properly recover from my injuries. I’m also getting so bored that mushrooms are about to grow on me.”
“Since Sister is so idle, why don’t you approve the official documents, or meet with the Heavenly Kings? They all miss Sister very much.”
“Wow, I definitely won’t! I want to abdicate, I don’t want to be the Demon King anymore!”
