Chapter: Chapter 132
“Your Majesty, are you just going to stay here and wait for them to bring their heads to you?” The next morning, Xue’er asked, looking at Leticia sprawled on the sofa watching TV with great helplessness.
She had been strategizing and commanding in front of the girls last night, but when they woke up today, while the others were out working, Leticia was lying on the sofa, slacking off.
“Xue’er, I’m the Demon King. What reason is there for a Demon King to personally do work? Leave all this information to those people.” Leticia waved her hand, indicating that her slacking off was justified.
Didn’t you see Bai Ling? That guy is pretty much the same as Leticia, just slacking off in a different place.
Would that Bai person go to work?
Let me tell you, it’s impossible. Leticia can guarantee that Bai Ling is probably staring intently at Lin Qingyu or the elves right now.
For high-level powerhouses like them, there’s no need to get involved in these minor matters themselves; it’s better to leave these things to their subordinates.
If they had to do every little thing, wouldn’t they be exhausted to death?
“I wasn’t asking Your Majesty to do anything. I mean, at least don’t appear so decadent when meeting the Heavenly Kings,” Xue’er said, covering her face.
Ah, yes, there were now two more people in Leticia’s house.
The two highest-ranked among the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon Realm were standing straight by the side, waiting for Leticia to issue orders.
“Ah, why are you two still here?” Leticia glanced at the two unlucky souls.
“Um, Your Majesty, we are also Heavenly Kings, right?” the older sister with long black hair said softly.
For some reason, the two Heavenly Kings summoned by Kira this time were both female. For example, this older sister was the one with the best figure and the strongest among Leticia’s Four Heavenly Kings.
“Yes, yes, we are also Heavenly Kings,” the short-haired girl on the other side quickly agreed.
This Heavenly King looked a size larger than Leticia, but her strength was not much weaker than the older sister who had just spoken.
However, for some reason, this one’s brain wasn’t working too well, and she was easily manipulated. Generally, Kira and Leticia wouldn’t let her go on missions alone.
After all, the first mission this person went on after becoming a Heavenly King made Leticia completely understand how bad her brain was.
For a simple extermination mission, she managed to flatten the entire mountain occupied by a group of rebels. It was truly using a cannon to shoot a mosquito.
And she argued convincingly, saying, “Your Majesty said that the rebels should be wiped out, and haven’t I done that?”
But the problem was, this girl found the wrong place. She had eliminated another group of rebels.
Heaven knows how on earth she managed to capture a rebellion in the east, turn 180 degrees, and go to eliminate a group of rebels in the west.
“What about Heavenly Kings? Aren’t you two at the lowest rank here?” Leticia asked, tilting her head.
She herself was the Demon King, Kira, who was working in the study, was the Princess, and Xue’er’s rank was hard to say, but she was the Demon King’s personal attendant.
If they were to be strict, among the five people in the house, the Heavenly Kings were indeed the lowest ranked.
“No, that’s not what I meant.” The older sister quickly shook her head, afraid Leticia would misunderstand. “I mean, we also don’t need to personally do these things.”
Their combat power as Heavenly Kings was strong, but for some professional matters, they still had to rely on their professional subordinates.
“We have already askedOur subordinates to start searching, and as soon as there is any news, we will report it to Your Majesty immediately.”
“But what does that have to do with you two staying here? I won’t prepare lunch for you here,” Leticia asked.
“Protecting Your Majesty’s safety!” the older sister said loudly.
“Iyephert hasn’t left, so I think it’s better not to leave.”
“Oh, then Anna, you can leave first.” Leticia waved her hand.
“Yes.” The Heavenly King named Anna immediately nodded and left the living room without any hesitation.
It’s just that the direction she left in had a slight problem.
“Hey, Your Majesty, where is the door here?” A few seconds later, Anna walked back, her face full of confusion.
This person’s sense of direction was probably among the worst in this world.
Leticia was helpless that she could get lost in such a small room.
“Iyephert, take Anna back. I’m safe here,” Leticia said to the other Heavenly King. “I’m afraid this one will get lost by herself.”
Iyephert’s expression was also a bit speechless. She, as an old colleague, naturally knew about Anna’s problem.
“But Your Majesty is of noble birth, and only Miss Xue’er is protecting you personally, which makes me a bit uneasy.”
“Isn’t Kira still here?”
“Your Highness also needs to be protected,” Iyephert replied. “Besides, we have nothing to do when we go back, so why don’t we stay here to protect Your Majesty?”
At least let’s make the combat power piled up look good.
Leticia rested her chin and looked them up and down. “No, you two are too recognizable. Many other people often come to me, and you will be recognized.”
Unlike the Demon King, the appearances of the Heavenly Kings were basically common knowledge. These people appeared on the news no less frequently than some big stars.
Once something inexplicable by science happened in the human world, the major media outlets would definitely pick someone from the Demon Realm to take the
And for various reasons, Iyephert and Anna, who were still quite good-looking, had a consistently high appearance rate.
After all, these two had photos and were Heavenly Kings, making them perfect scapegoats.
Therefore, it’s not an exaggeration to say that Iyephert and Anna were notorious in the human world.
If Bai Ling saw these two here, Miss Sword Saint would likely feel suspicious.
These were Heavenly Kings, two of them. Leticia had summoned two Heavenly Kings from the Demon Realm, plus Xue’er and Kira who were already here. Anyone would be suspicious of such a luxurious lineup.
To avoid the trouble of fooling Bai Ling, Leticia felt it was better for these two to stay away.
“If anything, you two can squat in the flower bed outside and be my first line of defense,” Leticia said, pointing outside the window.
Iyephert frowned, while Anna happily went to jump out the window.
“Just do as Big Sister arranged. If you want to protect Big Sister’s safety, be the first line of defense there. There’s too little space here to fit five people,” Kira also came out of the study and gave her instructions to the Heavenly Kings.
…
“There’s magical energy in the flower bed outside. Is that your person?” Bai Ling asked Leticia that evening, after a day of activity outside.
This person acted as if she would get itchy if she didn’t visit Leticia’s house every day, always finding an excuse to spend some time with Leticia.
“Yes, after all, we are about to cause trouble, and I might be targeted by those people,” Leticia nodded naturally. “No one paid attention to me before, but now that I’m involved in this matter, that can’t be said for sure.”
The number of people staring at her would definitely increase. Isn’t it normal for her to summon some people to protect herself at this time?
Bai Ling couldn’t say anything about it.
“But why squat in the flower bed?”
“Are you asking me to have them stay in my room?” Leticia retorted.
Bai Ling immediately shook her head. It was better not to let anyone else into Leticia’s room, especially those gender-ambiguous demons.
“Then that’s fine. The flower bed below is good, with fresh air and a beautiful environment. Squatting there allows you to see and hear everything,” Leticia said, talking nonsense seriously.
In fact, she just randomly found a place for those two unlucky souls to squat.
“Forget it, forget it. It’s useless to ask about these things. Were there any special situations today?” Leticia interrupted the topic about the two in the flower bed and asked Bai Ling about her matters.
“Mm, I talked to Senior Singer. She said she would bring Xi Mengyao back after she recovered a bit,” Bai Ling told Leticia about her day.
Actually, Bai Ling wanted Xi Mengyao to stay at the manor until the incident was over. After all, this girl had already been attacked once. Who knew if those people would strike again?
Maybe they would become obsessed with this poor Miss Xi and send Xi Mengyao, who had just narrowly escaped death, back to chat with the God of Death again.
But Singer said that Bai Ling had taken care of Xi Mengyao for so long, and she was already very grateful. If she bothered Bai Ling again, she would feel uncomfortable.
“Then why don’t you have her come over and work for you for a while?” Leticia looked at Bai Ling with the eyes of a fool. Wasn’t this a great free labor force delivered to her doorstep?
Although Singer had retired for a long time, her strength had not regressed at all. If she joined Bai Ling’s side, wouldn’t Bai Ling’s side directly gain a new force?
Could Bai Ling agree to let her take Xi Mengyao away, and then they would owe each other nothing?
“She also mentioned wanting to help me, but I felt this was my own matter, and it wasn’t good to trouble the retired Senior Singer, so I didn’t agree,” Bai Ling said that she wasn’t a fool, she just felt it wasn’t good for anyone to return to the battlefield for such a reason.
Yes, the battlefield.
Bai Ling already believed that the events that were about to happen would be a free-for-all among four parties.
Ah, it should be three parties. Although there were still some disagreements with Leticia, Bai Ling felt that she and Leticia should be on the same side.
“Then you are truly noble,” Leticia said speechlessly. Only Bai Ling could refuse a high-level expert who wanted to actively help.
One must know that Singer was a former hero with extremely rich combat experience. Her joining would definitely make Bai Ling’s side’s strength… well, it seemed that because of someone’s terrifying strength, the increase in strength that Singer could bring was not very noticeable.
This white-haired bastard is a cheat.
“Oh, I have some good news for you,” Leticia said with a smile, spreading her hands. A small flame shot out from her palm.
Bai Ling blinked. “Your magic has recovered?”
“It just recovered a little, but at least I have some ability to protect myself,” Leticia nodded with a smile. The recovery of magic within her body greatly boosted her confidence.
Leticia with magic and Leticia without magic were two different existences. Without magic, she was just a mascot, but as long as she had even a little magic, Leticia’s combat power could immediately return to its original level.
Of course, the duration wouldn’t be very long.
However, it didn’t need to be too long. Sometimes, just a moment could determine the direction of things, and this newly recovered magic allowed Leticia to have the ability to create that moment.
“That’s great. Should I tell others?”
“No, just you, Kira, and Xue’er should know,” Leticia shook her head. “Sometimes, an ace in the dark can determine our victory.”
“Us?”
“Not including your ‘us’,” Leticia snorted. “Don’t flatter yourself.”
“Mm-hmm, I understand.” But Bai Ling already thought this was Leticia being tsundere, so she nodded indulgently, as if coaxing a child.
“I don’t like what you’re saying one bit!”
…
“Tsk.”
“Tsk.”
It was those two people in black again, another late night, another dark alley.
“Your plan failed?” the short black-clad person asked after expressing his dissatisfaction.
The tall black-clad person snorted. “What do you think?”
Did she look like her plan had succeeded?
Why did a plan that should have been foolproof turn out like this?
This black-clad person really couldn’t understand. She had delivered the prey to Bai Ling’s mouth. How could that white-haired girl resist opening her mouth?
“Oh ho, you were so confident before, but in the end, you still failed,” the short black-clad person immediately began to mock. “I think you should honestly go back to your spotlight and be your idol.”
“Heh, how much better are you than me?” the tall black-clad person was somewhat annoyed.
“I’m better than you, a waste of resources. My two bombs took quite a bit of effort to make. They were originally intended for… never mind, why tell you this.” The short black-clad person stopped talking. “Lord God Envoy has issued a new mission. Our target this time is Su Qianqian.”
“Why her? Didn’t I say she was very dangerous?”
“Lord God Envoy investigated. That Su Qianqian is just an ordinary person. Ah, no, she seems to have low-level superpowers, but in front of us, she is no different from an ordinary person,” the short black-clad person explained. “Using her as a scapegoat would be perfect.”
“But…”
The tall black-clad person still wanted to argue. The same strong light as yesterday interrupted their conversation again.
It was the same familiar voice, the same familiar gray-haired girl. “I found you!”
The only difference was that this time she had several powerful heroes standing behind her.
“Damn.”
“Run!”
…
It turned out that with the help of an almost supernatural precognitive ability, the Commander could indeed cause considerable trouble for the enemy. For example, today, she had led people to chase the short black-clad person for a full two hours.
If not for the significant gap in agility, that person would have been unable to escape her grasp at all.
However, her goal this time was to disrupt the conspiracy between these two. Whether she caught up or not was not very important.
It was best to catch her, but it didn’t matter if she didn’t.
And the next day, knowing about the Commander’s magnificent performance all day yesterday, Leticia was very satisfied with her decision. Look, what do you call discerning judgment of people?
“The Commander said she vaguely heard those two talking about you. You should be careful these few days,” Bai Ling told Leticia.
Although the Demon King now had a certain ability to protect herself, just like your mother wouldn’t care how many clothes you have on but would only care about how cold the weather is, Bai Ling was still uneasy about Leticia’s safety.
“Don’t worry about my matters. I’m stable as a dog,” Leticia said, dangling her feet with a relaxed expression. After her magic recovered, she became much more confident. “Have you found out why Xi Mengyao appeared there on your end?”
Speaking of this matter, Bai Ling sighed. “Senior Singer said that the agent claimed he never made that call, and the call records also indicate that the agent was not lying.”
Strangely, not only did the agent’s call records prove this, but Xi Mengyao’s phone also had no record of that call.
Someone was always lying. Now it seemed that Xi Mengyao was more likely to be lying.
“Then, Xi Mengyao is lying?”
“I don’t know, but I don’t think she would lie,” Bai Ling said with a hint of distress and shook her head. Now all the evidence pointed to Xi Mengyao lying, but she felt that Xi Mengyao didn’t seem like she was lying.
Leticia pondered for a moment, then looked up at Bai Ling and said, “Can I meet her?”
“Where to meet?”
“If you dare to bring her here, I don’t mind meeting her here,” Leticia said with an eye-roll. Of course, she meant at the manor where Lin Qingyu was staying.
“Mm, okay.” Bai Ling naturally wouldn’t refuse this request.
Thus, after bringing Xue’er along, Leticia once again came to the reinforced manor.
The manor now could truly be called a fortress with no weaknesses. The security personnel that Leticia could see alone numbered in the hundreds, and she even saw trenches and machine gun nests.
It was, well, a bit outrageous.
Leticia felt that Miss Bai might genuinely have a phobia of insufficient firepower. With this level of defense, even she would have to carefully consider her own strength if she wanted to send people to forcefully seize Lin Qingyu.
“This is really a bit too much.”
“As a precaution, there haven’t been any important matters in Central City recently, so I could mobilize more things,” Bai Ling’s gaze flickered slightly. She also felt she had made this place too safe, and she even wanted to have her sister Bai Ya live here too.
After all, this place could now be called the safest place in Central City. What is called impregnable, this is impregnable.
Moreover, the Commander was also staying here. If anyone wanted to launch an attack, Bai Ling felt that the Commander should be able to foresee it, thus adding another layer of security here.
Layer by layer, both Bai Ling and Leticia believed that this place was absolutely safe and could not be breached from the front.
Upon arriving at the room where Xi Mengyao was staying, Leticia saw the elf doctor who had treated Xi Mengyao’s poison, and the haggard-looking Miss Singer.
The doctor was requested by Bai Ling. She felt that since she was helping someone, she should see it through to the end. Since the poison had already been detoxified, it was normal for the doctor to stay for a few days to check for any side effects, right?
With free food and accommodation, plus a large sum of money, the elf thought about it and ‘reluctantly’ agreed.
Anyway, she wasn’t the type to do fieldwork. Where she squatted was the same, so why not come here, where the food was good, sleep was good, and safety was guaranteed.
“Good morning, ladies,” Leticia greeted the three girls in the room. “Can I talk to Little Xi alone?”
The elf doctor naturally had no objection. Xi Mengyao had recovered well. She was just pretending to be working hard here, not just eating their food for nothing.
Therefore, she immediately expressed no objection and consciously walked out of the room.
Singer, on the other hand, had some reservations. Her gaze lingered between Leticia and Xi Mengyao several times, seemingly unsure of what to say.
Fortunately, Xi Mengyao made the choice for her. “Sister Qin, don’t worry about me. I don’t think Miss Su is a bad person and won’t do anything to me.”
Hearing Xi Mengyao’s words, Singer finally nodded and left the room with Bai Ling.
When Bai Ling closed the door, only Leticia and Xi Mengyao, who seemed to have no ability to resist on the bed, were left in the spacious room.
Being alone in a room together, women could often spark some strange associations, but these two had no such thoughts. Their conversation was quite normal.
“What do you think of Singer?” Leticia winked at Xi Mengyao and asked gossipily.
“Ah?” Xi Mengyao was stunned. “Shouldn’t you be asking me why I appeared here?”
Obviously, Leticia’s question caught Xi Mengyao off guard.
Regarding this matter, Leticia explained, “This matter could be anyone’s problem, but I don’t think it would be your problem.”
“Should I thank you for your trust?”
“I just don’t believe that an idiot would hand their life over to someone else,” Leticia snorted. She was sure of one thing: Xi Mengyao was merely an innocent victim in this matter.
An ordinary person poisoned with a poison that only an elf doctor could cure, and if it couldn’t be cured, they would only live for a few days.
Could this be Xi Mengyao’s scheme?
Impossible.
“So I trust you, and your memory has a slight error. What I need to do now is to find those errors and correct them.”
Leticia was almost certain that someone had tampered with Xi Mengyao’s memory. She came here to verify her guess, and if she could find the person who did it, it would be even better.
