Chapter: Chapter 126
“Should we tell Sister Bai about this guess?”
“No need. Whether Lin Qingyu is Evangeline is still to be verified. Let’s make preparations first. If it really is her, we shouldn’t tell anyone about this matter.” Leticia replied very seriously.
This time, she refused Kirala’s suggestion not for personal reasons, but for the benefit of the demon race, she decided to keep their guess a secret.
There is only so much cake, and it’s better to have one less person to share than one more.
Leticia believed in her own appetite and had no problem devouring this delicious cake alone.
“Let’s get those two dupes to bring people over quickly, and they must act stealthily. If they are discovered, they will have no good outcome.” Leticia leaned back in her chair, her expression giving the illusion that the world was in her grasp.
She is the king, this is the Demon King.
Then, in the next moment, she yawned, ruining her image, “Haaa, I’m tired, I’m tired, it’s time to take a nap.”
“Sister, can’t you maintain it for a little longer?” Kirala was speechless at Leticia’s quick breakdown.
She had finally seen a hint of her sister from the past, but it vanished like a bubble in water. Kirala hadn’t even had time to sigh with emotion.
“Huh? Who am I maintaining my image for? Those disobedient guys aren’t here.” Leticia stood up, shook her head, and walked towards the bedroom, “There’s no need to torture myself.”
Putting on a stern expression deliberately is tiring; it’s not as relaxing as being carefree.
Leticia only puts on a serious expression in front of certain noble families. In front of other demons, her expression is usually gentler.
Although, in the eyes of those demons, a smiling Leticia is more terrifying than a stern-faced Leticia.
Leticia’s nap time is quite fixed, usually from twelve noon to around two in the afternoon.
After waking up, she read for a while, and under her sister’s supervision, she watched some comics. Time then came for dinner.
After a peaceful dinner, Leticia planned to take a bath. She had gotten a little sweaty from the morning’s scuffle with Bai Ling, so she needed to clean herself.
“I won’t trouble Kirala today. I think I can wash myself now.” Refusing her sister’s request to follow, Leticia closed the bathroom door and began to undress.
Since she hadn’t left the house today, she was still in her pajamas.
And her pajamas, to say the least, were very, very conservative.
The pants, which were usually nowhere to be seen, finally made an appearance. The thick cotton pants gave Leticia a sense of security.
Underneath her pink pajamas, which were the same color as her pajama pants, was a white short-sleeved shirt. As she unbuttoned the shirt one by one, Leticia’s hopelessly flat chest was symbolically covered by white innerwear.
To be honest, even if it wasn’t covered, nothing would be seen.
Leticia’s flatness was genuine. There was no need to explain.
She wasn’t small; she was completely nonexistent, as if she had forgotten to develop this organ in her mother’s womb.
It made one worry if her future children would be as malnourished as their mother, unfortunately.
“I’m flat-chested, and I’m proud…” Leticia wiped her steel plate with her hand, and after confirming that there was no bump at all, she muttered to herself with a dark expression.
She didn’t not want a little bit of curvature. For her, it wasn’t about being big, just not like Kirala’s, which was quite perfect.
Small, plump, so good.
But if she took a photo of this steel plate and sent it to someone, they would praise, “This young man’s skin is quite fair.”
She turned on the shower and waited for the water temperature to reach the appropriate level before Leticia stepped into the water curtain.
The suitably warm water flowed onto Leticia’s fair body, making the girl squint her eyes comfortably.
Taking a bath was indeed a happy experience, second only to sleeping, eating, and playing games.
“Phew, so comfortable.”
Leticia took a quick shower, spending only about twenty minutes before she felt she had washed herself clean.
She took a new set of underwear and a bra from the other side, put on a white nightgown, and opened the bathroom door, planning to return to her room and continue lounging.
But as soon as she opened the door, she almost ran into someone.
Fortunately, Leticia reacted in time, stopped her forward momentum, and looked up at Bai Ling, who had already opened her arms to catch her. Without a word, she slapped the center of Bai Ling’s chest, pushing Bai Ling back a few steps.
Cough, cough, although the position of her hand was a bit off, please believe Leticia. She really did it instinctively. It wasn’t until she pushed Bai Ling away and retracted her hand that she realized the place she had touched was not quite right.
“Cough, cough, what are you doing here?” Leticia hugged her arms and coughed a bit awkwardly.
Bai Ling’s two lumps were indeed not small.
“I just came to tell you what happened today.” Bai Ling also shifted her gaze, her face flushed. Being accidentally attacked by Leticia made her face a little hot as well, “You were still showering when I arrived, so I came here to wait for you.”
While speaking, Bai Ling’s eyes kept drifting from Leticia’s nightgown. This slip dress should be very alluring on other girls, as it exposed a large portion of their chest.
However, on Leticia, it didn’t give off that feeling at all.
This girl would always disappoint in certain areas.
“Oh, let’s talk in the living room then.” Leticia nodded, not paying attention to Bai Ling’s gaze. It would be strange if this guy could communicate with her seriously.
If one day Bai Ling looked at Leticia without diverting her eyes, then Leticia might suspect something was wrong, thinking that Bai Ling was up to something.
Back in the living room, sitting on the sofa again, Bai Ling briefly recounted the day’s events to Leticia.
Overall, today was relatively peaceful. Except for the singer still running around looking for a way to detoxify, everyone else was performing their duties, and no major incidents occurred.
“I spoke to Lin Qingyu about Xiao Xi’s situation. Her reaction was a bit wavering, but in the end, she still told me that she had no way to treat Xiao Xi.”
“Yes, that’s understandable. As a half-elf, she might not be able to break the elf’s poison.” Leticia nodded.
“However, she did tell us that the elf who administered the poison must have something that can counteract it.”
The elf who administered the poison has something that can counteract it. This is something a fool would think of. If this elf accidentally poisoned herself, would she just watch herself die?
So, she must have an antidote to be safe.
Unless she really didn’t value her own life.
“It’s as good as saying nothing. If we could find that elf, would we still need to ask her?” Leticia crossed her legs, completely unconcerned that her fair legs were exposed to the air.
Bai Ling nodded. What Leticia said was exactly what she was thinking. If they could find traces of the attacker, things would become simpler.
“That elf seemed to have used magic to interfere with the surveillance near the incident. We only know that she fled towards the outskirts after her attack failed, and we don’t know anything else.”
“Even if she fled in that direction, it’s been a whole day. No one knows where she is now,” Leticia shrugged. In a full day, there’s so much an expert elf like her could do.
She could be hiding in every corner of the central city, waiting for the next opportunity.
As for the unfortunate Miss Xi, she only had two days left to live.
“However, human affairs should be resolved by humans yourselves.” Leticia said with a wicked grin to Bai Ling. “I’m just a carefree ordinary demon. I don’t have any extra energy to get involved in this matter.”
“Sigh, can I ask Xue’er for help?” Bai Ling sighed. Leticia’s reaction was not unexpected.
Fortunately, she hadn’t expected Leticia to help her. She came this time to ask Xue’er for help.
Unlike Leticia, Bai Ling trusted Xue’er’s reliability very much. Moreover, this maid also had an information channel that Bai Ling lacked.
If she could get Xue’er’s help, perhaps there would be a slight turn of events.
Leticia readily agreed to this request, “As you wish, as long as you can negotiate with Xue’er, I won’t object.”
Leticia believed that Xue’er would definitely not be at a disadvantage when dealing with Bai Ling. This maid was the person Leticia trusted the most.
Leticia sometimes didn’t trust herself, but she would always trust Xue’er.
“Okay, thank you.” Bai Ling breathed a sigh of relief as if a great burden had been lifted. With Xue’er’s help, the chances of Miss Xi being saved were much higher.
“Why thank me? If you can persuade Xue’er to help you, that’s enough.” Leticia snorted, showing disdain for Bai Ling’s gratitude, “I’m tired, I’m going back to rest.”
Saying that, Leticia put on her slippers and walked into the bedroom without looking back.
As for how Bai Ling would negotiate with Xue’er later, that was their business, none of Leticia’s.
What she needed to do was happily hug her sister and sleep soundly, to greet the next day with full energy.
The next day, Leticia opened her eyes. Today, she didn’t wake up as early as yesterday.
Waking up at her normal time, she glanced beside her. Kirala was nowhere to be seen. Her sister’s normal wake-up time was a little earlier than Leticia’s.
Normally, she would wait for Leticia to wake up before getting up together with her sister. But today, she quietly got out of bed before her sister woke up.
Rubbing her teary eyes, Leticia, wearing somewhat disheveled pajamas, walked out of the bedroom.
Then, she saw Kirala busy in the kitchen.
“Sister, are you up? Breakfast will be ready soon.” Kirala turned around and said to Leticia when she heard the movement behind her, “Also, the strap on your shoulder has slipped down.”
“Ah.” Leticia looked down and found that the white strap on her right shoulder had slipped off at some point, causing her to reveal a bit more than intended.
However, this unintentional reveal was not at all beautiful.
It was just a patch of fair skin. Anyone who reacted to this was truly hopeless.
Pulling the strap back onto her shoulder, Leticia felt that she was indeed not suited to wear nightgowns.
“I’ll wear pajamas from now on,” she said.
But this suggestion was strongly vetoed by her sister, “I think it’s fine.”
The touch of the nightgown was much better than pajamas. It was cool and slippery, and being hugged by her sister like this was too comfortable.
“Tch.” Leticia pouted, “Where’s Xue’er?”
Normally, breakfast was prepared by Xue’er, but today Kirala was doing it, and Xue’er was nowhere to be seen.
Perhaps she was called away by Bai Ling to help?
“Sister Xue’er went out early this morning,” Kirala explained. She also got up to prepare breakfast for her sister after seeing the note Xue’er left in the room.
As for why Xue’er went out so early, she didn’t know.
But judging by her sister’s expression, she seemed to know the reason?
“Don’t worry about Xue’er. She’s probably helping that person named Bai,” Leticia waved her hand and walked into the bathroom.
By the time Kirala finished preparing breakfast, Leticia had also changed her clothes and was sitting at the dining table.
Since Xue’er was not present, Leticia dressed very simply today, wearing a long-sleeved shirt and a pair of loose pants. This was the Demon King’s attire for the day.
Ah, yes, Leticia did have pants at home.
It’s just that Xue’er usually wouldn’t take them out for Leticia to wear. Today, Xue’er had taken them out, seemingly lacking confidence in Leticia’s ability to dress herself.
Pants were much simpler to put on than the dresses in the closet.
And things like long socks were a bit difficult for Leticia to put on herself.
“Sister Xue’er went to help Sister Bai? Was it your instruction?” Kirala asked, biting her fork.
Without her sister’s permission, Sister Xue’er would not have actively helped Sister Bai, Kirala believed this.
“Yes, the person named Bai came last night to borrow Xue’er.”
“So, you agreed?”
“I told her to talk to Xue’er herself. As for how their conversation went, I have no idea.” Leticia stated that she had little to do with this matter.
This was merely a private transaction between Bai Ling and Xue’er, and had nothing to do with her, Leticia.
What? You say it was with her consent?
Absolutely not!
She, Leticia, would not help Bai Ling, okay.
“Sister is being contradictory again,” Kirala said that her sister was indeed helping Bai Ling.
Not objecting meant tacit consent. With Bai Ling’s financial resources, it should be quite easy to persuade Xue’er.
