Chapter: Chapter 130
“My patience has its limits. I hope you don’t make me lose it.” Airennini tried hard to suppress her anger. Being insulted by a lowly half-elf, she considered her emotional control to be quite good for holding back.
Of course, it was impossible to expect her to have a pleasant expression now.
She grabbed Lin Qingyu’s hand and cut a deep gash on the girl’s palm with a small knife. Although she had initially said she only needed a drop of blood, the amount taken was actually more than just a drop.
The blood flowing from the wound almost dyed the small knife in Airennini’s hand red. Lin Qingyu frowned, her body trembling as if from the pain.
“That’s more than a drop,” Leticia said.
As she spoke, she walked over to Lin Qingyu and freed her hand from Airennini’s grasp.
Looking at the wound on Lin Qingyu’s hand, which almost spanned her palm and was still bleeding, Leticia gave Airennini a displeased glance. “Elves are too petty.”
“It’s just for accuracy,” Airennini retorted, her eyes fixed on the small knife. If Lin Qingyu was the half-elf she was looking for, the knife would turn green.
But after waiting for a long time, the knife remained as silvery and shiny as before, showing no sign of changing color.
“Not her?” Airennini glanced at Lin Qingyu.
Lin Qingyu mustered her courage and glared back.
“Hmph, I hope you can hide here forever.” Knowing that this half-elf was not the one she was looking for, Airennini couldn’t be bothered to waste any more time here. There would be plenty of opportunities to deal with this half-elf later; no need to rush.
The most important thing now was to talk to Miss Bai. Their agreement was that if Lin Qingyu was not the half-elf Airennini was looking for, then Bai Ling would do her best to help Airennini find that half-elf.
“Farewell.” Airennini, with a cold face, slammed the door open and left.
“Sigh, these elves,” Xue’er shook her head. “Then, I’ll leave this place to you two.”
She took out a roll of bandages from her pocket and placed it on the table.
“Xue’er, you carry this kind of thing with you?” Leticia was a little surprised.
“Hehe.” Xue’er narrowed her eyes and smiled, not answering Leticia’s question. “I still have to keep an eye on that elf, so I’m leaving now.”
“Mm, go ahead, go ahead.” Leticia nodded.
“Farewell.” Xue’er left the room.
Then, Leticia looked at Lin Qingyu and found that the girl was also looking at her.
“Why are you looking at me? Still thinking I’ll bandage it for you?”
Lin Qingyu’s little face blushed. She stammered, “I… I don’t know how.”
“As if I know how,” Leticia pouted. “Just wrap it up casually. I’ll have Candice give you some medicine when she’s free.”
“Oh.” Lin Qingyu lowered her head and picked up the bandages, intending to wrap the wound.
But with only one hand available, she tried for a long time but couldn’t pull the bandage out.
Not only could she not pull out the bandage, but the table was also smeared with the blood flowing from her hand.
Leticia watched for a few minutes, unable to stand Lin Qingyu’s clumsiness any longer. “You’re too clumsy.”
“Sorry.” Lin Qingyu flinched like a frightened little rabbit, her neck pulled in, not daring to speak.
Leticia picked up the bandages and casually wrapped them around Lin Qingyu’s hand a few times, stopping the bleeding.
“But you were quite spirited when you were cursing just now. What, you’re not afraid of elves anymore?” After bandaging, Leticia threw the bandages aside and asked casually.
“I just want to be less afraid,” Lin Qingyu explained in a low voice. “I’m still very scared.”
But when she cursed those elves, she became less afraid.
“Actually, you’re the half-elf they’re looking for, aren’t you?” Leticia said suddenly, looking at Lin Qingyu. “You might be able to fool others, but you can’t fool me. You’re scared, but not of that elf.”
“You’re afraid of being exposed and returning to that hell.”
“I…”
“Evangeline, have you heard that name?” Leticia softly uttered a name.
A moment of panic appeared on Lin Qingyu’s face, but she quickly hid this panic beneath confusion. “Is that… the name of the Elf Queen?”
“Yes, like you, she is a half-elf. Among the half-elves I know, only she is worth the elves making such a fuss about.” Leticia said, staring at Lin Qingyu’s face. “I have a bold guess.”
“What?” Lin Qingyu felt her heart pounding in her chest. Leticia’s words were like bullets, shattering her defenses one by one.
“You are Evangeline, the Elf Queen,” Leticia said calmly.
“How could I be.” Lin Qingyu’s panic could no longer be concealed. Beads of cold sweat appeared on her forehead. Just that reaction made Leticia believe her guess was almost certain.
It really is her.
“Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone about this,” the Demon King said with a smile. “Whether you are Evangeline or not doesn’t matter much to me, but I’m happy to offer you some help.”
“I don’t understand.” Lin Qingyu shook her head.
“You don’t like the elves, and I don’t like the elves. If you want to cause some trouble for the elves, I can help you.” Leticia patted Lin Qingyu’s shoulder, indicating that as long as you’re unhappy with the elves, we are lifelong sisters.
The best way to overcome fear is to face it bravely. If Lin Qingyu made the elves suffer a few times, wouldn’t her psychological trauma naturally dissipate?
Who would be afraid of someone who had suffered a few setbacks at their hands?
At that time, Lin Qingyu would probably be eager for the elves to come to her so she could act.
“Can I?” Lin Qingyu swallowed.
The thought of being able to frustrate those hypocritical and detestable green-haired elves made her feel incredibly great.
Leticia’s idea was not wrong. Psychological trauma is difficult to eliminate just by talking. However, Lin Qingyu was very lucky; her psychological trauma was materialized as those elves.
Especially those elves who considered themselves of noble blood and looked down on everyone.
If they were made to suffer setbacks at Lin Qingyu’s hands, Leticia believed that Lin Qingyu would quickly recover from the psychological trauma.
It was convenient and fast, although the means were a bit extreme, but it didn’t matter. Leticia felt that Lin Qingyu would definitely like this method.
…
“It seems that Lin Qingyu is not the half-elf you are looking for.” Bai Ling, who was waiting not far from the room, guessed the outcome as she saw the displeased Airennini.
“No, it’s not her,” Airennini replied. “Let’s talk about how we should cooperate from now on.”
“Okay.” Bai Ling nodded and pointed to an empty room. “Come in here…”
Before she could finish speaking, a violent explosion sounded from outside the manor.
Then, Bai Ling’s phone rang.
“What happened?” Bai Ling calmly took out her phone and answered it, as if the explosion hadn’t happened at all.
This composure, unfazed even when Mount Tai collapsed before her, made Airennini exclaim in her heart, this Miss Bai was indeed extraordinary. She herself had panicked just now, thinking the explosion was a signal to trap the elves here.
But now it seemed that this matter was not arranged by Miss Bai.
Then, who could it be?
“Someone threw a magic bomb at the main entrance of the manor. It should be similar to the last attack.” The person on the other end of the phone reported. “However, this time it didn’t cause any damage, but we couldn’t catch the person.”
“Do you know what he looks like?”
“We only know that it was a short person, very agile. After placing the bomb at the main entrance, he left.”
“Mm, you raise your vigilance. Absolutely do not let a fly in.” Bai Ling hung up the phone and gave Airennini an apologetic smile. “Sorry, it’s been a bit lively here recently.”
“It’s fine. But Miss Bai, do you know why someone would attack here?” Airennini was curious. After all, this place had been attacked just a few days ago. If Xue’er hadn’t had their contact information, the girl who was caught in the attack would probably be a corpse by now.
It’s strange, is there anything here that’s worth being attacked for?
Bai Ling thought for a moment. “If I have to say, the target of the other party might be the same as yours. They are also looking for a half-elf, and the fact that I have a half-elf here is not a secret.”
“Other factions are also looking for half-elves?” Airennini’s expression darkened slightly.
What faction is it? The mission she accepted was top secret, and even she herself didn’t know who she was looking for.
The envoy from the Elder Court gave her a small knife and told her to go to the human world to find a half-elf whose blood could change the color of this knife, and then bring that half-elf back to the elves.
The requirement was not to kill the half-elf, but breaking her limbs to eliminate her ability to resist was permissible.
The Elder Court’s story was that the half-elf had infiltrated the royal treasury on a certain day and stolen an extremely important treasure for the elves.
“And that faction probably doesn’t belong to the elves,” Leticia came out from the side and added, “My people saw more clearly, the attacker was human, not an elf.”
“Your people?” Bai Ling was stunned.
Leticia rolled her eyes. “What, am I afraid of dying?”
“It’s nothing. You mean the one who threw the bomb was human?” Bai Ling didn’t think too much about it. She truly believed that Leticia had arranged for a few people nearby to protect her own safety.
The Sword Saint lady had no idea how many people Leticia meant by arranging ‘a few people’.
Two of the Four Heavenly Kings, leading their direct elites, were already hiding near this small manor. Currently, they were indeed protecting Leticia’s safety, but what they would do afterwards depended on Leticia’s decision.
They might continue to protect Leticia, or they might do something big one day.
“I think we should cooperate now. We can resolve our issues peacefully, but the other party has already used this method. It seems there is no possibility of a peaceful resolution,” Leticia flashed a harmless smile. “We are all after that half-elf. Why don’t we eliminate those who don’t play by the rules first?”
“Why are you interested in getting involved?” Bai Ling was curious why Leticia would actively get involved. Shouldn’t she be the one who feared trouble the most?
Leticia giggled, covering her mouth. “Because I just received some interesting news. This news makes me feel that this matter is profitable.”
“Oh?”
“As for what that news is, you’ll have to figure it out yourselves. Oh, no, Miss Airennini should know what I’m talking about, right?”
Airennini’s expression was faltering a bit. She felt like a fake elf. What interesting news? Why didn’t she know?
Clearly, she was the envoy sent by the Elder Court, but why did it feel like this black-haired woman knew more than her?
Leticia looked at Airennini’s expression, which changed like a mask performance, and guessed something. It seemed that Miss Airennini didn’t know much either.
Perhaps, she and those who launched the attack were the ones who understood the truth of the matter the most.
“Ahem, in short, we are currently on the same side.” Leticia cleared her throat. “Miss Bai, didn’t you promise Miss Airennini that you would help them find that half-elf?”
“Yes, but I will only help them find her.” Bai Ling nodded. She didn’t feel it was necessary to get involved in this troublesome business.
Finding her, at worst, she would ask her acquaintances to help her. If she searched the entire Central City and still couldn’t find her, then Bai Ling could only apologize to Airennini.
She had done her best, but that half-elf really wasn’t here.
“Are you stupid? They won’t listen to your explanation. What if they think Lin Qingyu here is that half-elf? This time it’s Xi Mengyao, next time? Do you think they’ll make a move on Xiao Ya?” Leticia crossed her arms and voiced a reason that Bai Ling absolutely couldn’t ignore. “A thief can steal for a thousand days, but one can’t guard against thieves for a thousand days. If you don’t attack proactively, they will attack you.”
“Of course, there is another solution. You hand Lin Qingyu over to me, and I guarantee to draw the firepower away for you.”
Bai Ling would naturally not accept this choice. Her intuition told her that Leticia was playing a clever trick in her mind, and if she agreed, Leticia would probably jump for joy.
So, she refused!
