Chapter: Chapter 117
“The elves are looking for Lin Qingyu. It seems our little Ya is quite a troublemaker,” Leticia remarked after hearing Xue’er’s account for the night.
“Should we hand over Lin Qingyu’s location to the elves?” Xue’er sat by Leticia’s bedside, seeking her Majesty’s opinion.
If Lin Qingyu wasn’t staying here, Leticia would naturally have chosen to stand by and let Xue’er handle it.
But the problem now was that Lin Qingyu was too close.
Who knew if Lin Qingyu possessed any weapons of mass destruction? If she clashed with the elves trying to capture her and couldn’t win, leading to a mutual destruction scenario, wouldn’t Leticia suffer collateral damage?
“Why don’t we tell Bai Ling to move Lin Qingyu somewhere else?” Leticia joked.
“That seems unlikely. Even if Miss Bai Ling agreed with your suggestion, Miss Ya probably wouldn’t.”
“Ah, right, there’s still Ya.” Leticia was troubled. She didn’t want Ya to get hurt.
From the current situation, Ya and Lin Qingyu had become good friends. Only in front of Ya did Lin Qingyu act naturally.
Suddenly sending Lin Qingyu away at this time would definitely prompt Bai Ya to ask why.
The reason would be easy to find, but preventing Bai Ya from meeting Lin Qingyu would be difficult.
No one knew when the elves would make their move once they had Lin Qingyu’s location. If the timing coincided with Bai Ya being with Lin Qingyu, wouldn’t that put Bai Ya in danger?
Elves wouldn’t do anything too outrageous in the human world, but if a human were to stand in their way and try to prevent them from achieving their goal, Leticia had no doubt that the elves would act.
They might not kill, but they would inflict some physical pain.
“Troublesome.”
“Even if we don’t say anything, the elves should have ways to find Lin Qingyu. This bomb will explode sooner or later,” Xue’er continued. “The fact that the elves have appeared in Central City means they’ve likely narrowed down Lin Qingyu’s location. Soon, they might focus their attention here.”
“Can we just tell Lin Qingyu to get lost herself?”
“You go?”
“I’m not suited for playing the villain. If anyone goes, it should be that scoundrel Bai Ling.”
“Then you go persuade Miss Bai?”
“Ah… Xue’er, I think you’ve become wicked.”
“It’s just that it’s impossible for your Majesty to know this,” Xue’er smiled and offered her suggestion. “However, it really is necessary to talk to Miss Bai. After all, we are outsiders, and the final decision rests with her.”
Leticia and her group could pack up and return to the demon realm at any time, and after this Lin Qingyu incident was over, they could return to their peaceful lives.
But Bai Ling couldn’t. She couldn’t forcibly take her sister to live elsewhere and then watch Lin Qingyu be captured.
Not to mention, she wouldn’t even be able to face Bai Ya.
“Indeed. Having to talk to her again is so annoying.” Leticia expressed her reluctance to speak with Bai Ling.
Xue’er immediately offered to handle it. “I can discuss this matter with Miss Bai directly. Your Majesty should focus on recovering.”
“Uh, I’ll go instead.” But Leticia thought about it and felt it would be better for her to handle it.
Bai Ling was, after all, a Sword Sage, right? Her appearance would be considered more respectful.
Yes, it was purely out of respect, no other feelings involved.
Absolutely not!
“Alright, should I be helped upstairs now? Or should Miss Bai be called down?”
“Help me upstairs. It’s not quite right for her to constantly be in my room.”
“Yes.”
When Kira emerged from the bathroom wrapped in a towel, she was bewildered to find herself the only one left at home.
Where was her sister? Where was Xue’er? Where had they gone?
Why did she feel like she was the outsider in this house!
Her sister trusted Xue’er one hundred percent, and Xue’er was one hundred percent loyal to her sister. As for herself, she felt like she was an afterthought.
This life was unbearable!
Hmph!
…
“Your room is quite clean.” Sitting on Bai Ling’s bed, Leticia looked around and found it no different from her last visit.
After Xue’er helped Leticia inside, she closed the door and went out. In the room now were only Leticia and a somewhat flustered Bai Ling.
“Um, is there something you need from me?” Bai Ling, wearing a rather revealing black lace slip, sat in a chair rather self-consciously.
This dress, to say the least, was quite a departure from Leticia’s impression of Bai Ling.
She never expected Bai Ling, with her serious demeanor, to wear something like this at night. It was truly eye-opening.
“I didn’t buy this. Someone gave it to me.” Noticing Leticia’s strange gaze, Bai Ling quickly explained.
Although she didn’t know why she felt the need to explain.
“You don’t need to explain to me. I’m not someone to you.” Leticia waggled a finger. “But, it is indeed quite alluring.”
Bai Ling’s face flushed slightly.
“Alright, alright, let’s talk business. What you wear at night has nothing to do with me.” Leticia recounted what Xue’er had told her to Bai Ling. “That’s the situation. What are your thoughts?”
“I don’t know.” Bai Ling frankly admitted she wasn’t good at thinking.
“You should squeeze the water out of your brain and stop thinking about those frivolous things all day, understand?” Leticia was speechless. Was this person completely turned into a love-struck fool now?
You’re a Sword Sage, a Sword Sage! Your brain isn’t just for decoration.
“I have two plans now. One, I return to the demon realm directly, and the rest is none of my concern.”
“No!” As soon as she heard Leticia mention returning to the demon realm, Bai Ling quickly stopped her.
It had only been a few days, and it wasn’t enough.
“I don’t want to go back so soon, so my second plan is to send Lin Qingyu somewhere else. That way, even if she is tracked down by the elves, it won’t affect us.”
After saying the first part, Leticia paused, observing Bai Ling’s reaction. Noticing Bai Ling was seriously considering the suggestion, she continued, “But you need to think about how to explain this to Ya, why you’re sending away her newly made good friend.”
“Furthermore, until this matter is resolved, you cannot let Ya go to find Lin Qingyu, otherwise, Ya’s safety cannot be guaranteed.”
“I can’t stop Ya.” Bai Ling immediately stated that she absolutely couldn’t get past Bai Ya.
Leticia rolled her eyes at Bai Ling. She knew this idiot would say that. A hopeless sister complex person was indeed difficult to deal with.
“Leaving her here is still very dangerous. Moreover, the elves’ public statement is that she stole a precious treasure. Who knows if that treasure truly exists, and what its effects would be if it does?”
“If she stole a highly destructive artifact, and under the elves’ pursuit, she’s forced to use it, can you guarantee Ya’s safety?”
Bai Ling fell silent for a long time.
She couldn’t even protect herself, let alone protect Ya.
Her high attack power came at the cost of paper-thin defense. Bai Ling’s build was too extreme, so extreme that when she wanted to protect those around her, she could only offset attacks with more attacks. Defense? She didn’t have such skills.
“Alright, the problem is now: how do we send Lin Qingyu away without Bai Ya knowing?” Leticia spread her hands, feeling helpless about the problem she had raised. “If it really comes to it, you can ask your old friends for help and have them take Lin Qingyu away.”
With Bai Ling’s connections among humans, wouldn’t this be easily accomplished?
“Then what if she misunderstands?”
“What do you mean?”
“What if she thinks we’re pushing her to the elves and decides to use the artifact preemptively to destroy us all?” Bai Ling’s brain finally started working, which was a welcome development.
“That wouldn’t happen, would it? You’re her benefactor.”
“If she truly believes that, then we are her enemies.”
“Troublesome. I’ll just pack up and go back to the demon realm to lie low. Let me know when you settle things here.” Leticia gave up thinking. She, a demon, wouldn’t get involved in the karmic entanglement between humans and elves.
Time to leave.
Seeing that Leticia was indeed planning to leave, Bai Ling quickly grabbed her shoulder and pushed the girl back onto her bed.
“What… what are you doing?” Leticia swallowed. Her eyes involuntarily drifted towards Bai Ling’s loose neckline.
She could vaguely see two small hills, and… wow, what was she thinking?!
This was too lewd. She absolutely couldn’t become someone like Bai Ling, who was full of vulgar thoughts.
“Before you leave, could you help me one last time?” Bai Ling knew her current actions were a bit aggressive, but she didn’t have time to think about it.
“Is that how you ask for help?”
“Please don’t mind those details.” Bai Ling sat down next to Leticia and stated her request. “Can you explain things clearly to Lin Qingyu and tell her what we plan to do?”
“You go?”
“I can’t.” Bai Ling lowered her head, admitting for the first time that she wasn’t very capable. “Can… can you go?”
“Why should I? I’m a demon, do you understand? The Demon King?” Leticia was close to shouting at Bai Ling’s face. “Why should I get involved in your troubles?”
“But you’re the only one here with this ability.”
“Xue’er, Kira, Candice, aren’t they all capable?”
“But they all listen to you.” Bai Ling’s words explained why she needed to talk to Leticia.
Leticia was the leader, and Bai Ling couldn’t go around her to ask the others to do anything.
“But why? What’s in it for me? Why should I help you?” Leticia crossed her arms and snorted. “I’m not poor now, I won’t be swayed by money.”
“… Then, how about beauty?” Bai Ling winked at Leticia. “Sleep with me tonight?”
Hahaha.
Leticia immediately raised her hand and hit Bai Ling on the head. Although she knew this wouldn’t knock the water out of Bai Ling’s brain, she felt that hitting her might still help. If she didn’t, the Sword Sage truly would be useless.
“Please take care of your body, Miss Bai.” Leticia said fiercely to Bai Ling. “Do you think I’m that superficial? Do you think I would yield to such low-level desires?”
“I’m telling you, it’s impossible!”
Besides, could this be considered compensation? Wasn’t Bai Ling asking for compensation from herself?
She would work for Bai Ling and still have to pay her?
What a joke!
“Pursuing love is a high-level interest!” Bai Ling retorted.
“But you yourself are too low-level.”
“Later, you can use my computer to play games.”
Ah, the trump card.
Leticia hadn’t touched a computer in two days, and she was indeed getting itchy fingers. She felt her stamina gradually recovering, and playing for a while shouldn’t be a problem.
However, Kira didn’t think so. Her sister strictly controlled Leticia’s daily activities, such as not allowing her to play games.
“I’ll go explain. Just tell me if you agree or not.” Bai Ling realized she had a real talent for negotiation. Seeing Leticia, who had been refusing, now showing a conflicted expression.
If she just added a little more fuel, she could hold Leticia in her arms tonight.
Wow, this was simply heaven!
She had to work hard and keep Leticia here!
“Kira definitely won’t let you play games, not just today, but tomorrow, the day after, and even the day after that. As long as you haven’t recovered, Kira will stop you from playing.” Bai Ling’s voice was like a devil’s whisper, corroding Leticia’s psychological defense.
She didn’t really want to sleep with Bai Ling, but she didn’t dislike sleeping with Bai Ling either. If it was to play games, sleeping with Bai Ling for one night wasn’t unacceptable.
She wouldn’t be at a disadvantage, right?
Last time, Bai Ling was the one who lost, and she won completely.
Probably, maybe, should be fine?
“Let’s make it clear first. No touching. If you dare to have any improper thoughts about me, I’ll slap you directly.”
“I absolutely will not touch you!” Bai Ling became instantly excited by Leticia’s softening attitude. Sleeping with Leticia? She couldn’t wait!
“Alright, I agree to your request, but I need to go home and take a bath first. Kira should be done by now.” Leticia finally succumbed to the temptation of games.
People say that you can’t resist temptation, and that described Leticia perfectly.
“You can wash here!”
“Please don’t push your luck, thank you.” Leticia stuck out a finger and poked Bai Ling’s forehead fiercely. “Do you think I’m like you, liking to bathe in front of others?”
Although she had asked Kira to help her clean up these past few days, one was her sister, and the other was an enemy. They were completely different. Leticia wasn’t so brainless as to let her enemy help her bathe.
Right, the brain-dead Miss Bai?
When Kira learned that Leticia planned to stay at Bai Ling’s house tonight, the young girl was dumbfounded.
She stared into her sister’s eyes for a long time before confirming that her sister wasn’t under any spell and that sleeping with Bai Ling was indeed her true intention.
This was too strange.
And Leticia’s reason was very, well, unreliable.
“We have some things to discuss, and it might be quite late.”
Huh? What things did they have to discuss?
What could they discuss that would take so long, and even lead to sharing a bed?
“Sister, Miss Bai is human, and a human Sword Sage. Don’t be smitten.” Kira reminded her sister with some concern.
She was afraid her sister would be charmed by her beauty.
“Don’t worry, trust your sister.” Leticia declared her heart was as firm as a rock, and she would absolutely, never be smitten.
Then, she happily ran upstairs in her pajamas, her energetic demeanor making Kira doubt if her sister had been acting before.
She didn’t look like a patient at all. Instead, she seemed very healthy?
Of course, Leticia only had that burst of energy for a moment. After just a few steps, she almost repeated the experience from noon.
Fortunately, Bai Ling was waiting for her at the door. Seeing the girl about to fall again, she quickly stepped forward and supported Leticia.
“Hurry, hurry, I want to play games!” Leticia’s eyes sparkled with excitement. This excitement made her completely ignore who was supporting her.
“Slow down. Your body is still a bit weak.” Bai Ling felt a bit speechless towards Leticia. Was it really necessary to be so eager just to play a game?
“You don’t understand.”
“I really don’t understand.” Although Bai Ling logged into the game for daily tasks, she didn’t love games as much as Leticia. “But let’s agree first, only until 10:30 PM.”
It was now a little past 8 PM. Until 10:30 PM was over two hours, which was a considerable amount of time.
Any longer, and Bai Ling worried Leticia’s body wouldn’t be able to handle it.
“No problem!”
Under Bai Ya’s stunned gaze, Bai Ling helped Leticia into her room and closed the door.
As soon as she entered the room, Leticia immediately sat down in the chair and turned on Bai Ling’s computer.
Bai Ling’s computer had no password. A few seconds later, the screen lit up, and Leticia’s expression turned strange.
Bai Ling’s desktop… how to put it, it was very distinctive.
On it was a girl’s avatar, and the more she looked, the more familiar she felt.
“Is this… me?” Leticia looked for a while, then turned to Bai Ling with some uncertainty.
It wasn’t a photo, but a painting. The girl in the painting was smiling happily, bringing a sense of joy to anyone who saw it.
Leticia didn’t think she could smile that brightly, so she was initially unsure if this girl was her.
But the more she looked, the more she felt this girl resembled her. Coupled with who the owner of this computer was, she became even more certain.
Could this be how Bai Ling saw her? No way.
Bai Ling’s reaction confirmed Leticia’s guess. The Sword Sage blushed and said softly, “I had someone paint it. She looks a bit like you.”
A bit like her?
This clearly looked like her, painted accurately!
“Did you secretly take my photo?”
“No!” Bai Ling immediately denied. She had never secretly taken photos. “I just described your appearance to the artist.”
Then, the artist painted this picture that even Bai Ling marveled at.
Bai Ling hoped that one day, Leticia would be able to show such a brilliant, unadulterated smile to her, just like the girl in the painting.
“Let me see your browsing history…” Leticia moved the mouse towards the browser icon.
Just as she was about to open it, Bai Ling reached out and grabbed the hand holding the mouse. “Don’t open it.”
The girl’s face flushed slightly, her red eyes darting around, unwilling to meet Leticia’s questioning gaze.
The browser probably contained something indecent.
“Let go, I promise I won’t open it.”
“Open the game first, then I’ll let go.” Bai Ling held Leticia’s hand and forcefully moved the mouse towards the game icon.
“I want to play web games.”
“Don’t mess around.”
“… Bai, are you usually looking at strange things?” Leticia asked. Otherwise, why wouldn’t she want her to open the browser?
If she felt guilty, it meant there was a problem.
Things she didn’t want others to see couldn’t be normal things. Perhaps it was inappropriate material for children, or some novels with explicit content.
“No.” Bai Ling’s gaze was exceptionally evasive.
This reaction made Leticia even more certain of her guess. She patted Bai Ling’s shoulder with her free hand, indicating that she understood. She understood that a twenty-something, single woman like Bai Ling would indeed need an outlet at times.
“Don’t worry, I won’t laugh at you.” Leticia tried to move the mouse back to the browser icon.
“There really isn’t anything good to see.” Bai Ling moved her hand away again.
The two girls continued to move the mouse back and forth, back and forth, for about ten minutes. Finally, Leticia couldn’t stand it anymore.
“If you don’t let me see, I’m going back now, and you can forget about asking me for anything else!” the girl said indignantly.
It was just a look at the browsing history, not like she was asking for Bai Ling’s life.
If Bai Ling was already wearing such pajamas in front of her, was she still afraid of her seeing her browsing history?
They were both adults. They knew what the other needed, so what was there to be shy about?
“But, those things…” Bai Ling retracted her hand, but she still didn’t want Leticia to see her browsing history.
“I’m not younger than you. If you can look, can’t I?” Leticia ignored Bai Ling’s dissuasion and obstinately opened the browser, going to the browsing history page.
Then, her eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets.
What was all this?!
“What to do if your girlfriend is tsundere? How to get along with a petite girlfriend? How to hold a petite girlfriend?” Leticia continuously scrolled through the mouse wheel. Bai Ling’s browsing history was messy, but most of it was queries about relationship issues.
And in the latest browsing history, a particularly perverse question was displayed: “My girlfriend is too cute, I can’t help but want her, what should I do?”
“I think I should call the police and have you arrested.”
