Chapter: Chapter 151
Although the challenge has been accepted, for now, our lovely Miss Ya cannot guess Leticia’s real name.
Clues are needed, it’s not that simple.
Now, let’s go into the warm room and fully enjoy the feast meticulously prepared by the demon chefs.
“Wow, it looks delicious.” Bai Ya said with delight as she sat in her seat.
Leticia was very well-prepared this time. The large round table was filled with various demon delicacies. Their alluring colors and sweet aromas made Bai Ya almost drool.
“Eat, eat, these are all prepared for Little Ya.” Leticia said with a smile.
She picked up her chopsticks first and placed a golden ball into her bowl.
After she started eating, the other girls sitting at the dining table also began to eat.
Elsa used the knives and forks commonly used by demons. Chopsticks were too difficult for her, a demon with no foundation in using them.
As for Kira, she was taught how to use chopsticks by her sister when she was young, and now she mainly uses chopsticks.
Although it’s a bit strange to eat demon cuisine, which is closer to Western fine dining, with chopsticks.
“This meat is so delicious!” Bai Ya, on the other hand, was very much in keeping with the local customs. She used chopsticks one moment and knives and forks the next, her little mouth never stopping.
This reminded Leticia of that scoundrel Bai Ling. Had he passed on his gluttonous attribute to Little Ya?
Fortunately, Bai Ya proved with her own strength that she couldn’t even reach her sister’s feet. Halfway through the meal, the girl clutched her stomach and said she was full.
“So, you shouldn’t have eaten so quickly in the first place,” Leticia said to Bai Ya with a smile. “Look at Elsa, how elegant her movements are. That’s a true noble lady.”
Hearing this, Elsa, who was bringing food to her mouth, gave Leticia a helpless glance. Frankly, the greatest noble here was Leticia herself.
She was merely a Grand Duke, how could she compare to His Majesty the Demon King?
However, Leticia’s words were indeed not wrong. Elsa’s dining manners were indeed the most elegant among the four girls.
Even Kira could not surpass Elsa in this regard.
As for Leticia, there’s no need to say more. She had been mingling in the human world for so long, and she had already thrown away the etiquette she had learned before. After returning to the demon world, no one dared to say anything to her, so naturally, her elegance had completely disappeared.
And Kira, seeing how ‘casual’ her own sister was, she followed suit and became corrupted.
Only Elsa needed to maintain her image, and these manners were almost engraved in her habits.
“But speaking of which, Elsa, you’re not eating slowly either. You look like you’re taking your time, but in reality, your speed hasn’t fallen at all. Is this your true strength?”
“Can we stop talking about this?” Elsa covered her face with her hands. She could only eat to her heart’s content here. In other places, she had to restrain herself and not eat too much.
Otherwise, she might get the nickname “glutton” among the noble circles.
This was no joke. After the war ended, the demons’ nobles were really bored out of their minds.
In the past, they could bully the weak and commit acts that would incite public outrage, but now they dared not do so.
Leticia had severely disciplined the nobles before, making them completely correct these bad habits.
Nobles were still nobles, but other than that title, they were no nobler than ordinary demons.
In the past, a powerful demon from a commoner background had to bow and salute to a noble demon who had no power at all. Now, although noble demons did not have to return the salute, commoner demons did not have to be suppressed everywhere.
It was already very good progress.
“I haven’t eaten at home for a long time. I have social events every day, with no breaks for lunch or dinner,” Elsa complained, resting her head on her hand. “Today it’s Duke X, tomorrow it’s Marquis Y, and the day after tomorrow it’s General Z. I can eat for a month without repeating any dishes.”
“After a month, I’ll have to go through it all over again. If it weren’t for magic helping me control my body shape, I’d probably have become a ball by now.”
Being able to mooch meals was a good thing, but having to mooch meals every day was a bit troublesome.
Although Elsa would sometimes send others to attend banquets for her, she couldn’t be entirely at ease with others attending.
Fortunately, the frequency of banquets was not as exaggerated as she described. She had to attend a banquet only every few days.
“Isn’t it good to mooch meals? I wish I could go and mooch meals elsewhere,” Leticia said with a light laugh. “Unfortunately, they don’t welcome me much.”
“Why?” Bai Ya asked curiously. She thought this was a great opportunity to gather information. If the nobles didn’t welcome Sister Qianqian, then Sister Qianqian’s identity could be narrowed down to a very small range.
Once she knew Sister Qianqian’s true identity, her name would naturally be revealed.
Bai Ya felt like a genius!
After completing this challenge, she would use one of Sister Qianqian’s promised favors to let her sister meet Sister Qianqian. Bai Ya could see that although her sister didn’t show it, she really wanted to come and stay with Sister Qianqian.
Therefore, as a caring sister, Bai Ya naturally had to create opportunities for her sister.
Her sister had been extremely well-behaved for the past six months, without any unnecessary communication with any girls. This clearly showed that she had Sister Qianqian in her heart, considering her the one and only.
And Sister Qianqian, like her sister, hadn’t flirted around. Look at Miss Elsa, her childhood friend, who was mercilessly rejected by Sister Qianqian.
What did this mean? It meant that Sister Qianqian still had her sister in her heart, otherwise, why would she refuse?
Was it simply because they weren’t compatible?
That’s fine too, since Sister Qianqian was still unattached, it wouldn’t hurt to help her sister.
A good sister like her was hard to find even with a lantern.
“Because they all hate me. I did some dreadful things to them before, and as a result… well, they don’t even know what I look like now.”
…
After the meal, our Miss Ya successfully obtained a very important piece of information: Leticia said she was very unpopular with the nobles.
And looking at where her Sister Qianqian lived, it didn’t seem like she lived a difficult life.
A great noble who was disliked by other nobles – that was quite a narrow range.
After dinner, Elsa didn’t stay long. She had to hurry back home to prevent those restless fellows at home from causing trouble.
After Elsa left, Leticia announced the first event of Bai Ya’s vacation: soaking in the hot springs.
Yes, that’s right, hot springs.
Leticia chose this separate villa because it had a natural hot spring. The designer who built this villa was quite remarkable.
Even the Demon King’s Palace did not have such an artificial hot spring, nor did most of the noble residences in the Demon King’s City.
To be honest, this thing had low practicality and was very expensive to build. Only a few people would build something like this.
It’s not that vain, is it? Who would care if you had an artificial hot spring at home? With that kind of money, wouldn’t it be better to get something more conspicuous?
At any rate, Leticia would definitely not build something like this, but since the pool was already here, she felt it would be a bit of a loss not to use it.
So she decided that the activity for tonight would be bathing here.
“There’s a hot spring here, amazing!” Bai Ya, wrapped in a large towel, looked at the steaming hot pool in front of her, her eyes shining.
A house with such a large hot spring was simply a place she could only dream of.
“I’ve adjusted the water temperature, it should be just right,” Leticia said to Bai Ya with a smile.
“So, Sister, why aren’t you coming down yet?” Kira was already soaking in the pool.
The black-haired girl floated lazily in the water. At this moment, she looked somewhat like her sister.
After ending a day’s hard work, soaking in a hot spring after dinner was indeed a very stress-relieving experience.
“Aren’t I coming down now?” Leticia threw her bath towel aside and gently dipped her toes into the water.
The temperature was suitable, it seemed her adjustment was correct.
Bai Ya on the other side was not as refined as Leticia. She jumped directly into the pool. Due to her not-so-elegant entry, the splash of water was as high as a person.
Leticia, who was standing next to Bai Ya, was directly splattered by the water.
If she were wearing anything other than a swimsuit, she would have definitely let Bai Ya know what a red flower was.
Wiping the water droplets from her face with some helplessness, Leticia suddenly felt a faint gaze coming from behind her.
“Huh?” She turned her head and scanned around, finding nothing unusual. “Illusion?”
Perhaps.
Her mental power covered the entire villa. If anyone entered, she would definitely notice.
“Sister Qianqian, don’t just stand there, hurry up and come down!” Bai Ya, noticing Leticia still frozen in place, swam to Leticia’s feet and gently poked Leticia’s firm calves.
From this angle, Bai Ya could clearly see things she normally couldn’t, such as Leticia’s delicate and small jade feet.
Leticia’s figure was relatively slender, and this slenderness was also reflected in her feet.
From this angle, Bai Ya could see the dark veins on Leticia’s feet. These veins were faintly hidden beneath the snow-white skin. They not only did not detract from the overall beauty but even made this beauty more real.
The girl’s toenails were very well-trimmed, round, and had an alluring color. Bai Ya even had the urge to taste one.
Fortunately, before she could act, Leticia leaped lightly and jumped into the pool.
Unlike Bai Ya’s disastrous entry, the splash Leticia made was much smaller.
Although it still splashed all over Bai Ya’s face.
“So, can’t you just walk down from over there properly?” Kira asked helplessly, pointing to the stairs on the other side.
That’s where people were supposed to walk. If you two jumped down, wouldn’t the presence of those stairs be awkward?
“That wouldn’t be as fun,” Leticia giggled. “Actually, I’ve always wanted to do this, but the pool at home is too shallow, and I was afraid I’d break my leg by jumping like this.”
“I think Central City has swimming pools. Why, Sister Qianqian…”
“I refuse to go out, and the water there is cold, while the water here is hot. They can’t be compared,” Leticia replied, leaning comfortably against the stone wall of the pool. “Ha, soaking in hot water is such a pleasure.”
“That’s true,” Bai Ya agreed with Leticia’s opinion. She also found soaking in hot water very comfortable.
After soaking for a while, Xue’er came over with a plate of food.
Placing the plate on the small table by the pool, Xue’er said to the three girls in the pool, “The small cup is a very low-proof fruit wine. Miss Ya, don’t drink it.”
“Eh?” Bai Ya blinked her eyes. She couldn’t drink it, so was Xue’er preparing this for Sister Qianqian?
“Drinking a cup before bed helps with sleep,” Leticia reached out and took the small cup. “However, this fruit wine has a very, very low proof. It’s fine for Little Ya to take a sip.”
The alcohol content of this thing was probably lower than alcoholic chocolates. Calling it fruit wine was an insult to the word “wine.”
“Really?” Bai Ya blinked her eyes. She was indeed curious about what kind of fruit wine Sister Qianqian drank.
“Really,” Leticia handed the cup to Bai Ya. “Take a sip and try.”
“Sister, Little Ya is still young,” Kira quickly intervened. Leticia had no idea what the fruit wine she usually drank was called in the demon world.
That was the king of wines, considered the pinnacle of demon fruit wines. It might not feel like much when it first enters the mouth, but after a while, the after-effect was strong.
Kira had secretly taken a sip before, not believing it, and then she got the impression of being completely unable to drink from her sister.
It was strange, Leticia had an incredibly high resistance to alcohol, she almost never got drunk, yet she was completely unaware of it.
So, when Kira saw her sister handing the cup to Bai Ya, she knew she had to stop her.
However, her words were too late. Bai Ya had already taken a small sip and said that the wine really had no alcohol taste, just as Sister Qianqian had said.
