Chapter: Chapter 120
“Hey, the one surnamed Bai, give me your manga website account.” Leticia called Bai Ling, and although she was asking for Miss Bai’s help, her tone was not very pleasant.
This made Bai Ling lift a thought of teasing this little girl, “What do you want my account for?”
“To read manga, what’s wrong?” Leticia answered naturally.
“Which one?”
“The one you’ve read.” Leticia felt that Bai Ling would be able to guess which manga she was referring to since she had already made it so clear.
Bai Ling mulled over it for a while but couldn’t guess which one Leticia was talking about, as she had read a lot of manga.
“Which one specifically? I read quite a few manga, and there are several websites.”
“That one, ‘The Campus Where Yurihana Blooms’.” Leticia’s eyes flickered. She didn’t have any impression of the other manga, perhaps because the title of this one left a deep impression on her.
This one directly placed “Yurihana” in the title, and Leticia, a girl with abundant knowledge, knew exactly what it meant.
As for the other manga, their titles were vague. Who knew what stories they were trying to tell?
They were nowhere near as appealing as the one she had just read.
The title Leticia mentioned made Bai Ling softly exclaim, “Oh, it’s that manga.”
“Is this the one? I did buy all of them.”
“Mhm, hurry up and give me the account, give it to me, give it to me.”
“But why should I give it to you?” Bai Ling asked with a mischievous smile, “We’re enemies, aren’t we? You said it yourself, you’re not going to go back on your word, are you?”
You still have the nerve to say that! Leticia was furious. Yesterday, you held me in your arms and said how much you liked me, and today you’re turning your back on me like this?
You’re such a player.
This Bai Ling is definitely a player.
“You slept with me in your arms all night yesterday, and I haven’t even asked you for compensation yet!” Leticia immediately brought up what happened last night as a bargaining chip.
She had helped Bai Ling with two favors in a row, and now she was being hesitant to help her out. This was too infuriating.
As soon as Leticia brought it up, Bai Ling surrendered, “A manga can make you sleep with me for a night?”
“No, it’s one account in exchange.” Leticia snorted. She wasn’t that cheap, alright? “And if I had money, I wouldn’t let you off so easily.”
The Demon Lord was completely broke.
She felt ashamed and annoyed to bend for a meager sum.
“I know, I know, Miss Leticia is a girl of noble character. I am willingly lending my account to Miss Leticia for her use.” Bai Ling’s mood seemed to be very good. “Send me the QR code. After I scan it, you can log in.”
“I feel like you were mocking me just now,” Leticia said faintly.
“It’s your imagination,” Bai Ling said, resting her chin on her hand and watching the scenery flashing by outside the car window, a slight smile rising to her lips. “Hurry up, I’ll be busy later.”
“Oh, wait a moment, I’ll send you the information.” What was Bai Ling doing? Leticia didn’t care much. The Sword Saint’s matters were not few.
Although she had retired, she had only recently learned about gods. It was normal for Bai Ling to be busy these days.
She was arguably the greatest trump card on the human side. Without her, humans were like dough in the hands of gods, to be kneaded as they pleased.
With her around, at least they could resist.
Hanging up the phone, she sent the QR code for login to Bai Ling. A few seconds later, Leticia saw a login successful notification on her screen.
What surprised Leticia was that Bai Ling not only bought all the manga chapters, but she also tipped the author.
And the tip was quite substantial.
It was ranked quite high on the tipping leaderboard. Although this money was probably just loose change for Miss Bai.
However, looking at these numbers, Leticia, a rich pauper, felt a pang of jealousy. Why could others spend money so freely, while she had to be controlled by her wallet!
She wanted to revolt and overthrow Kira’s cruel reign!
Of course, she only dared to say this when Kira was not around. She feared her younger sister much more than Bai Ling.
“Alas, it’s better to read manga.”
The manga was very, very long. By the time Kira returned home with a dark expression, Leticia had only read about three-quarters of it.
“Sister, are you playing games again?” Kira asked with a hint of displeasure as she pushed open the door and saw her sister sitting in front of the computer again.
Leticia immediately started to defend herself, “I’m not playing games, I’m just reading manga!”
Reading manga and playing games were completely different!
“Are you really just reading manga?” Kira was a little skeptical. She really had no confidence in her sister’s self-control.
After all, she was the “scum of humanity” who dared to abandon the entire demon race and her sister to flee to the human world. It was normal for Kira to not believe her, no matter how much.
“Really!” Leticia quickly made space and invited Kira to see if she had been sitting here reading manga all these hours.
Seeing her sister so forthright, Kira believed nine-tenths of Leticia’s words. If her sister had done something wrong, she wouldn’t be so candid.
She would definitely be secretive and prevent her from looking at the computer.
“Is this, sister Bai’s account?” Kira knew that Leticia currently had no money to read manga, and it was obvious that this manga needed to be purchased.
So, was her sister using Bai Ling’s account? Or had Bai Ling paid for her?
Kira probably thought it was impossible. Her sister was too shy to directly ask Bai Ling to pay for her. However, borrowing an account was a more normal request, and her sister was capable of lowering her pride.
“Why would it be hers? Can’t it be someone else’s?” Leticia retorted, unwilling to accept why it had to be Bai Ling’s account. “Perhaps it’s the Guild Leader’s?”
“Because the girls you’ve gotten along with well in the human world are only Miss Xia and Sister Bai. My intuition tells me that when something happens, Sister will think of Sister Bai first.”
Indeed, when Leticia had the thought of borrowing an account to read manga, the first person that came to her mind was Bai Ling. She only thought of the Guild Leader after she had borrowed the account.
In the end, Leticia’s explanation was recognized by her sister. Kira left Leticia’s room after saying, “Don’t read for too long, even if it’s manga,” to do her own things.
Their princess wasn’t as idle as Leticia. She had to deal with urgent dispatches from the demon realm every day, and for matters that she couldn’t decide, she even had to ask Leticia for a decision.
And today, Kira encountered such a problem.
Less than ten minutes after leaving, the frowning young girl returned to Leticia’s room. “Sister, something seems to have happened to the elves.”
“Compared to the mess you caused, everything else is trivial, right?” Leticia felt that any major event was minor compared to her good sister, who had thrown the Scarlet Moth into the forest.
You almost burnt down the opponent’s house. What could be bigger than that?
Did the Empress suddenly die?
That’s also trivial. The current mascot empress, her death is her death. Three-legged frogs are hard to find, but two-legged elves are always findable. Isn’t her sister a very good candidate?
“The specific situation is still unclear, but the guards by the elves’ ancient tree of life are frequently dispatching. Other armies are also on the move. They might be planning something.” Kira resolutely ignored her sister’s teasing. She was talking about serious matters.
“They have to move around, otherwise, those guys will grow mushrooms,” Leticia said that it was not a big problem. She also liked to mobilize those armies that had been idle for a long time.
The elves hadn’t been at war for so many years. It was normal to mobilize their armies. It was nothing incomprehensible.
Besides, how miserable were the elves now? With so many internal problems, if there were external threats, they might be in danger of extinction. At this time, mobilizing troops to deter those who were restless was a very common thing.
“I don’t think we need to overthink it. Even if they’re crazy, they won’t attack us first.” Leticia said confidently, pretending to pat unseen breasts. “Just tell the guys at the border to prepare for the worst.”
The elves were inferior to the demon race in terms of hard power. Launching an attack on the demon race would be like hitting a rock with an egg.
Therefore, the elves’ movements were likely not aimed at the demon race, and Leticia believed this.
“Should we tell Sister Bai about this?”
“Her? Why tell her?” Leticia immediately said that this was intelligence collected by their demon race. Why should they give it to Bai Ling, a human, for free?
Even close brothers settle accounts clearly, let alone those from different factions.
Even if it was related to gods, Leticia wouldn’t necessarily share intelligence with Bai Ling. For example, she didn’t mention Flora to Bai Ling.
As for minor conflicts between races like this, Leticia and Bai Ling were opponents in this matter. How could opponents share intelligence?
“Mm, I understand.” Kira was not surprised by her sister’s stubbornness. She knew that her sister had always been such a stubborn girl.
“Is there anything else?”
“No… When are we going back to the demon realm?” Kira was about to leave, but she suddenly asked.
She couldn’t stand Bai Ya’s enthusiasm these past two days. She was always running around outside, and Kira was tired.
“What half-price couple’s milk tea, free couple’s photo booths, couple’s meals. Is Bai Ya that short of money?” Kira asked, confused.
As Bai Ling’s sister, why did she like to take advantage of merchants so much?
These past two days, Bai Ya had almost taken Kira to every store that offered couple discounts. She didn’t know where this little girl found so many stores that were offering promotions.
“Oh? Couple? Has my little Kira finally found someone she likes?” Leticia asked with curiosity. If Bai Ya were to become her brother-in-law… eh, should it be brother-in-law?
What should the wife of her younger sister be called?
Leticia’s rather meager knowledge kept her from finding a suitable term, but she definitely approved of her sister liking girls as much as she did.
What about the Demon King’s bloodline?
It could only be said that magic could sometimes accomplish very miraculous things, such as allowing two girls in love to have offspring.
At this time, please shout “Long live magic!”
“I’m not like you, Sister. Even if I find a partner, I’ll only look for someone in the demon realm.” Kira’s opinion of Bai Ya was still the same as before. She was annoying, but also a somewhat cute little girl. “I think she just wants to take advantage of some small benefits.”
After all, Kira was the only friend Bai Ya could drag around.
As for Leticia, Bai Ya felt that she couldn’t cuckold her sister.
Lin Qingyu? This girl was still recuperating and was resistant to going out.
Looking at it this way, the only one left on Bai Ya’s candidate list was Kira.
“Perhaps, maybe one day, Kira, you’ll be moved.”
“Before that, I think Sister will be conquered by our beautiful Sister Bai first.” Kira retorted with narrowed eyes.
She was still iron-hearted, but her sister’s attitude towards Bai Ling had clearly softened a lot. Didn’t she sleep with Bai Ling yesterday, and today she’s using Bai Ling’s account to read manga as if nothing happened?
If one day, Leticia changed her mind and decided not to be tsundere anymore, Kira believed that the progress of the relationship between Bai Ling and her sister would be rapid.
Honestly, in Kira’s eyes, Leticia’s resistance to beautiful girls was quite low. To use a human analogy, a completely unrestrained Leticia would definitely be a tyrannical ruler like King Zhou or King You.
Fortunately, Leticia was not unrestrained now; she was still being tsundere.
“Impossible! How could I be with her!” Leticia immediately slammed the table and expressed her stance of being irreconcilably opposed to Bai Ling. “She’s just a little prettier, what else about her is worthy of my liking?”
“That head full of yellow content? Or her outrageous personality? I’d rather spend my life with a cat than with her.”
“Speaking of cats…” Bai Ling’s faint voice came from outside the door, causing Leticia’s passionate speech to halt abruptly. “I brought you new headphones.”
The white-haired girl stood quietly at the door, holding a small box, like an otherworldly fairy.
“Ah, huh?”
“I had someone make them specially for you. I think you’ll like them.”
It had been mentioned before that Leticia’s headphones were cat-ear shaped. Perhaps Bai Ling’s understanding had a slight deviation, and she thought Leticia particularly liked this kind of thing.
However, in reality, Leticia bought these headphones, which looked better than they were used, simply because she happened to get an exclusive discount when she was choosing them at the time.
“The quality matches the price I paid, and the appearance is a bonus. If I bought them at the original price, it would be a huge loss.” This was Leticia’s evaluation of these headphones.
But the headphones in Bai Ling’s hand were different. These headphones were definitely far superior in quality to the ones Leticia was using.
And not only in quality, but even the appearance had been completely crushed.
“Wow, they’re not cheap, are they?” Under Bai Ling’s pleading gaze, Leticia opened the packaging box somewhat uncomfortably.
She had originally intended to refuse directly, but Bai Ling’s gaze softened her a little. By the time she came to her senses, the white packaging box had already been taken into her hands.
Since she had already taken it, she might as well open it and take a look.
As soon as she opened it, Leticia knew that these headphones were definitely valuable. The touch of the material, the beauty of the craftsmanship, it was simply perfect.
The headphones were black and red, with the main body being black and some red embellishments on the cat ears, making them look very cute.
“Try them on,” Bai Ling said to Leticia.
“First, tell me how much you spent. I won’t accept anything too expensive.” Leticia demanded that Bai Ling tell her the value of these headphones.
She liked them, of course, but she wouldn’t accept Bai Ling’s gift so easily.
Their relationship wasn’t good enough to accept each other’s gifts without reservation.
At least that’s what Leticia thought.
“I didn’t spend anything.” Bai Ling fiddled with her fingers and said softly, “I mentioned your cat-ear headphones to someone, and they gave me these headphones today. I wanted to pay, but they refused.”
“Huh?” Leticia examined the packaging box and the headphones carefully, but she couldn’t find any brand logo.
No brand logo, but there was a mark of the Hero Association.
Are these products of the Hero Association? Does this association have such technology?
However, this did lend a bit more credibility to Bai Ling’s words. The Hero Association would most likely not accept money from Bai Ling. This Sword Saint lady was the pillar of the Hero Association (although she had retired). Accepting money would be too impolite.
“By the way, these headphones are wireless. Let me set them up for you.” Noticing that Leticia was already looking for a way to plug the headphones into the computer, Bai Ling quickly said.
Then, under Kira’s increasingly strange gaze, Bai Ling naturally leaned close to Leticia and connected the headphones to her computer.
“Oh oh oh, the sound quality has greatly improved, and they’re much more comfortable to wear!” Leticia exclaimed excitedly.
She didn’t notice that as her emotions became excited, her cat ears slowly turned a bright red.
This change caught Kira’s attention. She reached out and touched her sister’s cat ears, asking curiously, “What’s the principle behind this?”
“I don’t understand it very well either. The manual probably explains it,” Bai Ling said, shaking her head and indicating that she didn’t know either.
Leticia blinked her eyes, not understanding what her sister and Bai Ling were playing at.
Leticia, like this, was like a confused kitten, making people want to pet her.
After Kira explained, Leticia realized that her cat ears could change color. She opened the manual and found the principle behind the color change on the last few pages.
“Can it detect the wearer’s emotions?” Leticia touched her chin, finding this thing quite interesting.
So, she took off the headphones and put them on Bai Ling’s head.
She wanted to see what Bai Ling’s mood was.
This action made Leticia discover another remarkable feature of these headphones: their color could change according to the wearer’s hair color.
When worn on Bai Ling’s head, the headphones turned white, and the light on the cat ears turned a fantasy-like light blue.
This color also gave people a feeling of happiness, meaning Bai Ling was quite happy right now.
“This is amazing, but in that case, I can’t just accept this gift.” Leticia said to Bai Ling, “You can take it back and use it yourself.”
The blue light on the cat ears immediately dimmed, as if telling everyone that Bai Ling’s mood was somewhat low.
“Why?” the girl asked.
“It’s too valuable. If these headphones were to be sold, they would cost at least five figures. I don’t have the thick skin to accept it.” Leticia explained earnestly, “I know you want to get close to me, but I don’t want you to get close to me, so I can’t accept your things for free.”
She and Bai Ling wouldn’t exchange gifts. Their current interactions were basically transactions.
Leticia helped Bai Ling beat people, and Bai Ling paid for Leticia; Leticia helped Bai Ling guide Lin Qingyu, and Bai Ling lent her manga account to Leticia.
In Leticia’s opinion, these were all equivalent exchanges, with no favors involved.
Although these headphones were really good, Leticia didn’t know what to exchange for them.
“You can’t accept them for free?” Bai Ling pondered how to make it not for free, and soon came up with a solution.
“Tomorrow I was going to the Hero Association to check on the training of the juniors. Now, I want to invite you to go with me.”
“Sister Bai, Sister isn’t suitable for going out yet, is she?” Kira quickly reminded her upon hearing Bai Ling’s words.
“I’ve recovered quite a bit. Besides, I can ask Xueer to accompany me.” Leticia stared at the headphones on Bai Ling’s head, a little conflicted.
She really liked these headphones, and if it was just to accompany Bai Ling to the Hero Association, it didn’t seem unacceptable.
As for whether Bai Ling was luring her into a trap?
Leticia didn’t believe Bai Ling would do such a thing. If she really didn’t trust Bai Ling, she wouldn’t have returned when she wasn’t fully recovered.
She currently had no combat ability. Returning meant that she had complete trust in Bai Ling.
She believed that Bai Ling would not harm her.
“I can buy the headphones for Sister,” Kira added.
Leticia had no money, but Kira had quite a bit of money.
In any case, she wouldn’t let her sister, who hadn’t recovered, go out casually.
