Chapter: Chapter 113
Arriving upstairs and opening the door, Leticia immediately saw the three young girls playing games in the living room.
“Qianqian-jie, do you want to try?” Hearing the sound of the door opening, Bai Ya looked up and waved at Leticia.
“No, no, I’ll just watch from the side.” Leticia quickly shook her head, looking at the extremely complex map on the floor, she felt that this game was probably not that simple.
Then, she turned her head and looked around, “Where did Candice go?”
“Doctor Candice said that if there was nothing else, she would go back to her room to rest.” Kira explained. Candice was clearly not interested in the game they were playing. After realizing she had nothing to do, she bid farewell to Kira and went back to rest.
As for whether there would be any sudden events that required her?
She felt it was unlikely. Even if there were, she could just run to the next room and wake her up, which was very convenient.
“Oh, I see.” Leticia nodded, walked to her sister’s side, and started pointing.
“Wow, Ki, your luck is so bad, you only rolled a one.”
“Isn’t this a clear strike?”
“You’re about to lose, you gotta pull yourself together, my dear sister.”
“Sister, can you shut your chattering mouth?” Kira’s forehead was covered in black lines; her thoughts were being interrupted by her annoying sister.
In the end, Bai Ya won the last game, Lin Qingyu came in second, and Kira, who was constantly being interfered with by her good sister, came in third.
“Let’s play another round!” Bai Ya seemed unsatisfied.
Kira immediately refused, “It’s getting late, Young Ya, you have school tomorrow, it’s better to get some rest.”
“Eh, but it’s only half past eight, we can play another round.”
“I’m also a bit tired. Let’s call it a day.” Lin Qingyu and Kira had the same idea, but her reason was more normal.
Although it wasn’t obvious now, this young lady was a patient after all. A game that lasted nearly an hour was still a bit too much for her.
“Okay,” Bai Ya said somewhat disappointed.
Kira stood up, intending to go home with her sister, but another girl walked to Leticia’s side, just like her.
“Miss Qianqian, can I speak with you privately?” Lin Qingyu asked softly, standing next to Leticia.
Leticia blinked her eyes. What was going on now?
“Sure, let’s go outside and talk.” Patting her sister’s shoulder to let her go back first, Leticia turned and agreed to Lin Qingyu’s request.
Bai Ling gave Leticia a confused look. She couldn’t understand why Lin Qingyu wanted to talk to Leticia alone.
Even if they needed to discuss something, shouldn’t she communicate with her, who had spent more time with Lin Qingyu?
Bai Ling’s confusion was also Leticia’s confusion. She didn’t know what this girl, whom she had met for the first time, wanted to say to her.
But since she came to her, refusing wouldn’t be right.
Because both of them were patients, the conversation place was chosen in the open space downstairs, not far away, and with few people.
This community was really too desolate. Leticia even suspected that there were less than ten households living here.
“Miss Lin, what do you want to talk to me about?” Sitting on a bench in the open space, Leticia looked at Lin Qingyu’s jade-like eyes and asked.
“I want to know, do you know what poison I’ve been poisoned with?”
“You should ask Candice that.” Leticia shook her head.
However, Candice indeed had not figured out what poison Lin Qingyu was poisoned with. After all, a routine examination would not yield much information.
“So you want to know what poison you’ve been poisoned with?”
“No… it’s…” Lin Qingyu stammered. She also didn’t seem to know what she wanted to do. “I just want to know if there are other ways to figure out what poison I’ve been poisoned with?”
Huh?
“I don’t know about that, so you shouldn’t ask me such questions. Go ask a professional!” Leticia rolled her eyes without any regard for her image.
However, due to her solemn attire, the eye-roll didn’t give a bad impression.
Lin Qingyu observed Leticia again. This girl, who looked to be her age, gave her a very peculiar feeling.
Her intuition told her that this girl was a big shot, but her eyes couldn’t see any trace of this girl being a big shot at all.
No matter how she looked at it, this girl just seemed like a very innocent shut-in.
However, could an innocent shut-in boss around that doctor?
And that sister named Su Qi gave Lin Qingyu a sense of déjà vu.
Perhaps she had seen her somewhere?
Unlikely, she couldn’t have seen Su Qi anywhere else.
“Miss Qianqian, who exactly are you?” Lin Qingyu took a deep breath and asked with a solemn tone.
This question? Leticia giggled.
“Me? Just a silly older sister who got a little injured a few days ago and is now being strictly managed by her sister in her daily life.”
“Don’t overthink it. I’m not a good person, but I don’t have any ill intentions towards you, and that person surnamed Bai certainly doesn’t have any ill intentions.”
Leticia didn’t know the answer to why Bai Ling kept Lin Qingyu here for the time being, but it was definitely not because Bai Ya had bumped into Lin Qingyu, so Bai Ling kept her by her side.
That was meaningless.
Even if Bai Ya hadn’t bumped into her at that time, this girl would still have fallen. The only difference would probably be that she would have been sent to the hospital by a kind passerby.
“You have many secrets. Since you don’t want to reveal them, I won’t force you. But you should also think carefully, are Bai Ya and Bai Ling really not worthy of your trust?” Leticia patted Lin Qingyu’s shoulder and said with some emotion.
A hint of entanglement flickered in Lin Qingyu’s eyes. “Do you trust Young Ya and Sister Bai Ling very much?”
“No.”
“Eh?” Lin Qingyu was stunned. You don’t trust them, and you want me to trust them? Isn’t this a prank?
“I’m a very suspicious person. Young Ya is still too young, so I can’t have 100% trust in her. As for that bastard surnamed Bai, I have some past grievances with her.”
“However, you seem to have a good relationship with her.”
“That’s your misconception,” Leticia said indifferently.
“Misconception…”
“This isn’t something a little girl like you should worry about. The grudges between her and me are very complicated, but if I were to give you an answer, well, I do trust her very much.”
…
“What did Lin Qingyu talk to you about?” Back in her own house, Kira, wrapped only in a bath towel, poked her small head out from the bathroom and asked Leticia.
“Nothing, just some trivial matters.” Leticia told Kira about her conversation with Lin Qingyu, she really didn’t understand what this girl was thinking.
Making it so mysterious, but in the end, she just asked about this.
“She seems to not trust us very much.” Kira looked thoughtful.
“You little brat, hurry up and take a bath.” Leticia reached out and pushed her sister’s small head back into the bathroom. “Don’t think too much. We’re not here to be detectives.”
Let Bai Ling worry about Lin Qingyu’s matter. The two demons should just stay at home peacefully.
“I know, but I’m just a little curious.” Kira chuckled. Her curiosity had always been very strong.
“If you’re really bored, you can go investigate.”
“Then forget it. I still need to supervise you properly.”
“If we don’t mention this, we’re still good sisters.”
…
On the first night back in the human world, Leticia slept very soundly.
There was a soft bolster pillow by her side. The feeling of hugging it was simply wonderful. Leticia almost regretted not hugging Kira more in the past.
“I really don’t understand who is the sister and who is the brother.” Kira expressed slight dissatisfaction with Leticia’s action of hugging her.
It should have been the sister hugging the sister to sleep, right? Why in their situation, it turned out to be the sister hugging the sister?
“Don’t mind the details.” Facing the morning sunlight, Leticia sat up from the bed and stretched.
Her slender waist was outlined by the silk nightgown, adding a unique charm to the girl.
If her chest had a bit more fullness, this would have been a killer move, but unfortunately, that would be an eternal regret.
Following the routine of washing and changing, under Kira’s supervision, Leticia had to dress properly even at home.
However, Kira also knew that her sister disliked overly complicated clothes, so she prepared mostly lightweight home clothes for Leticia.
This suited Leticia’s wishes. The only dissatisfaction was Kira’s obsession with skirts. Leticia hadn’t gone a day without wearing a skirt recently.
And since she was wearing a skirt, for the sake of appearance, Xue Er took out her long-cherished long socks and, with Kira’s help, put them on the resisting Leticia, which were both beautiful and comfortable.
“It seems Kira is managing you well.” Bai Ling, who came to visit daily, was surprised. It was quite rare to see Leticia dressing properly at home.
Leticia was a bit too bundled up today, wearing a black long dress that fell slightly above her ankles. Her small jade feet were covered by thick white socks, presenting a tempting hue.
She wanted to reach out and touch them. Bai Ling had such a thought.
No, no, Kira was still watching. She quickly suppressed this strange thought and said, “I’m going to the Hero Association. Do you want me to call the Commander over?”
“The Commander? What does she think of me?” Leticia was curious about how the Commander viewed her now.
She had exposed her demon identity in front of the Commander. Although the Commander hadn’t shown anything unusual in Mist City, Leticia felt that the Commander couldn’t be as indifferent as she seemed.
The hatred between humans and demons was deeply ingrained. The generation of the Commander grew up with the education that ‘demons are bad, orcs are bad, and elves are bad’. It was unlikely that they would have no reservations about Leticia’s identity.
“Surprisingly good.” Bai Ling chuckled.
Perhaps in other circumstances, the Commander would be troubled. Qianqian was her good friend, and Qianqian was also a demon. Yet, after spending so many years with Qianqian, she couldn’t feel that Qianqian was a demon at all.
This might indicate that Qianqian was different from other demons?
There were good demons and bad demons among the demon race, and I could be friends with good demons.
Perhaps that’s how she convinced herself.
But now, due to the obviously ambiguous relationship between Bai Ling and Leticia, the Commander only needed one sentence to convince herself.
“The Sword Saint is friends with Qianqian, so why can’t I be friends with Qianqian!”
Who was Bai Ling? Star River Sword Saint!
Guardian of humanity, the strongest human!
She was friends with Qianqian, what did that imply? Qianqian was not a bad demon.
Otherwise, the Sword Saint would have dealt with Qianqian long ago. Why would she be entangled like this? The Commander even smelled a hint of gossip. Her Qianqian and the Sword Saint definitely had a vague relationship.
With Bai Ling vouching for Leticia, who dared to say anything against Leticia?
Moreover, the events in Mist City were absolutely confidential at Bai Ling’s request. Only the Commander and the other two knew Leticia’s true identity.
“They have all been training very hard recently. Their experiences in Mist City have made them feel a sense of crisis,” Bai Ling said.
“No wonder the Commander didn’t come online yesterday. Her game time seems to have decreased a lot.”
“They have to train. After training, they wash up, and it’s almost time to rest.” Bai Ling had heard about the training at the Hero Association. Although she hadn’t experienced it herself, she had heard of its reputation. “After a day of training, even the most energetic heroes would fall asleep immediately.”
“You too?”
“I don’t.” Bai Ling shook her head. She had completely transcended the concept of a human being. Those training sessions seemed like child’s play to her.
“Oh, that’s really disappointing.” Leticia said a bit unhappily. “Alright, alright, you should go and be busy now.”
She felt that talking so nicely to Bai Ling was enough face for her. If they continued, she was afraid she would start spouting vulgarities again.
And Kira was sitting beside her, watching the program on television. If her sister heard her spouting vulgarities, Leticia had no doubt that she would be severely reprimanded by her sister again.
“Then, goodbye.”
“Never see you again.”
A very Leticia-style reply, but Bai Ling felt it was quite good. Compared to a few days ago, after Leticia returned, this place had gradually regained its vitality.
“If you have time, you can go and chat with Lin Qingyu. I feel like she’s still suspicious of us…”
“I know, I know. I can’t be bothered with these things.” Leticia waved her hand impatiently, signaling Bai Ling to get lost and not disturb her leisurely life.
…
“You bastard, it’s all because of you, it’s all your fault!” A withered voice echoed in the dark space.
“Why is this happening? Where did Mom go?” A faint crying sound followed.
“You’re a jinx, it’s all because of you, … that…”
“No, it’s not!” The girl waved her hands frantically, trying to drive away those sounds.
But her actions were useless. On the contrary, it made those sounds more numerous and louder.
Even covering her ears was useless. These sounds seemed to echo in her mind, and she had no way to avoid them.
“Your mind is in chaos.” Just as the girl was covering her ears and kneeling on the ground, trembling, another gentle voice sounded, and a warm embrace dispelled the fear in the girl’s heart. “Don’t be afraid, you are no longer the person you were before. You are a new person now, and everything from the past has nothing to do with you.”
“Really? Can I really escape from everything in the past?” The girl shed a tear. She was trembling. She was really afraid that her current life was a dream.
When the dream woke up, she would find that she had never left, and she had never met that kind and enthusiastic girl.
“Of course, because, I am… ah.”
Yes, she was…
“Remember, don’t mention to anyone who you were before. You are Lin Qingyu now, and you are only Lin Qingyu.”
“Yes, I am Lin Qingyu, I am only Lin Qingyu.” The girl’s emerald eyes flashed with unwavering light. She didn’t want to go back to the past.
If anyone wanted her to go back, she would rather die.
…
“There hasn’t been much going on recently, so peaceful, it’s really strange.” Sitting shoulder to shoulder with her sister on the sofa, Leticia rested her head on her hand, feeling a wave of sleepiness.
She had just eaten breakfast, which wasn’t right.
Kira didn’t notice her sister’s abnormality. She just thought for a moment and replied, “Since Bai Ling Sister killed the monarchs of the alien races a few years ago, the world has been relatively peaceful. Although there are still small skirmishes, large-scale wars are unlikely to happen again.”
No one dared to gamble whether that god of death would do it again. They didn’t think their necks were much harder than those murdered monarchs.
Humanity held a nuclear bomb, enough to make all alien races afraid to make any rash moves.
“Sister, in a fight to the death, who do you think has a higher chance of winning, you or Sister Bai?”
“I will lose.” Leticia yawned. There was nothing wrong with admitting it. “But I can seriously injure her. If someone could finish her off then, she would die.”
Of course, if she were lucky enough, she might take Bai Ling down with her.
However, that was the best outcome. Leticia never thought she had a chance of winning. In a fight to the death with Bai Ling, she would definitely die.
“If even you have no confidence, then others will have even less.” Kira sighed. “The current peaceful situation is only because there is a strong person like Sister Bai who can suppress the situation. If Sister Bai is confirmed dead one day, the entire world will fall into war again.”
The sleepiness grew stronger and stronger, and a dull pain began to spread in her lower abdomen. Leticia had a bad premonition.
Could it be that her period had come?
“Sister?” Kira finally noticed something was wrong.
“Help me call Candice and Xue Er. I think… my period has come.” Leticia stood up groggily, intending to return to her bedroom.
Kira quickly stood up and pushed her sister back onto the sofa. She was afraid that if anything went wrong, her sister would fall flat on her face.
“Sister, you should sit here first. I’ll go call Sister Xue Er and Doctor Candice right away.”
A minute later, Candice, with dark circles under her eyes, rushed over in her pajamas.
Xue Er had gone out to buy something. Kira thought that even if she told her, the maid wouldn’t be back anytime soon, so she gave up.
However, having Candice there was not a problem at all.
“Mmm, it’s a normal phenomenon. Rest well, don’t eat anything carelessly… Miss Xue Er will definitely handle this.” After examining Leticia, Candice said that there was no big problem, it was just her period. “Don’t stay up late these days, drink some brown sugar water or something.”
“It’s been a long time since I’ve had this experience.” Leticia propped her head up, looking helpless.
In the past, she had tough skin. When her period came, she basically didn’t feel anything.
This time, she was truly suffering.
“Let’s help Her Majesty back to her room to rest. Generally, only the first few days have strong reactions. Once you get through these days, it will be fine.” Candice stood up and adjusted her monocle.
After helping her sister back to her room, Kira walked out and asked Candice, “Is there really nothing wrong?”
“At most, there will be some bleeding, which is nothing compared to what Her Majesty burned herself. It’s just a drizzle.” Candice nodded. It was just a normal physiological phenomenon, no need to worry at all.
Hearing Candice’s serious assurance, Kira was also relieved.
Although she knew it was a normal phenomenon, she was still a little panicked when she encountered it.
Perhaps she could ask Sister Xue Er to buy some nourishing items? Kira thought.
…
“Hmm?” The message from Kira made Xue Er look thoughtful.
Nourishing items, and some brown sugar?
Your Majesty’s period has finally come?
Counting the time, it seemed about right.
“Cough, cough, Miss Xue, can we continue?” Xue Er’s distraction caused the green-haired girl sitting opposite her to cough awkwardly.
The girl was wearing a gray robe, and her face was covered by a hood, only revealing two strands of emerald green hair on her temples.
“We’re old acquaintances, why be so distant?” Xue Er smiled slightly.
“There are too many people watching. I’m not as inconspicuous as you.” The girl glared at Xue Er and whispered, “Are there really no clues?”
“Fake ones. What’s the use of knowing this?” Xue Er picked up the glass in front of her and took a sip of juice. “I remember you seem to be a rare empress faction supporter?”
“Now there are rumors spreading in the clan, and those old fossils are still fanning the flames, saying that this insect disaster was all done by His Majesty to seize power. It’s truly shameless!” The girl angrily slammed the table. “His Majesty is just a puppet controlled by the Elder Council. How could she possibly do such a thing?”
Yes, the insect disaster that the elf tribe suffered this time was entirely man-made.
Hereby @ the mastermind Ms. Kira.
“You know she’s a puppet, and you’re still loyal to her?”
“I just don’t want any good person to suffer undeserved disaster, no matter who she is.”
(PS. I recommend a super good book, Miss Bai Si’s “Citrus Love Little Green Tea”. Miss Bai Si and her protagonist are both super cute!)
