Chapter: Chapter 152
“I told you, drinking a tiny bit is fine,” Leticia said with a smile to her sister. “This fruit wine has no alcohol taste at all, it’s fine to drink as a beverage.”
Saying that, she took the cup Bai Ya had taken a sip from and drank the pink liquid in one gulp.
The taste was as sweet as ever, but it was a pity that Xue’er only let her drink a small cup every day, she just couldn’t drink enough.
“Ah, this…” Kira looked at Xue’er, who was still standing by the pool, “It should be fine, right?”
Xue’er’s lips twitched a few times. What a good question.
She didn’t know if it would be a problem, but judging by the other customers’ reviews of this wine, Bai Ya going wild later would be quite normal.
Oh, perhaps not later, Bai Ya’s face was already turning red.
But Leticia didn’t notice anything wrong. She thought Bai Ya’s flushed face was just a natural reaction to soaking in the hot spring for too long.
It wasn’t until the little girl hugged her and started rubbing against her that Leticia realized something was wrong.
“Xiao Ya, what’s wrong?” Leticia was stunned, trying to push away Bai Ya’s face that was getting closer.
“Hehe, Qianqian sister is so cute and smells so good.” Bai Ya said incomprehensible things like a child of a few years old, her eyes hazy, it was clear that she wasn’t very sober at this moment.
“I told you not to let Xiao Ya drink this stuff,” Kira swam to Leticia’s side, trying to pull Bai Ya away from her sister.
But Bai Ya had some unknown strength, and no matter what Kira tried, she couldn’t pull her off her sister.
“Qianqian sister, your back is so flat.” Bai Ya could even say such hurtful things while hugging Leticia’s chest.
Um, perhaps she was really talking about her back?
“Qianqian sister, why did you turn your head away?”
Okay, it seemed not.
A vein popped on Leticia’s forehead. She grabbed Bai Ya’s hands that were on her chest and slowly moved them away.
The moment she was free, Kira immediately pounced and tightly hugged Bai Ya from behind, who was still trying to move.
It was as if Bai Ya and Leticia had switched roles, and Kira had become the former Bai Ya.
“Xiao Ya is so strong, is she really a normal human?” Kira asked, her face flushed, after struggling to restrain Bai Ya.
Her face was red from exhaustion.
Leticia shook her head, “Perhaps you’re not trained enough, Kira?”
“I train every day!” Kira retorted loudly, “Xue’er sister, come and help me.”
“No need for all this trouble.” Leticia glanced at Xue’er, who was still in her maid outfit. It seemed a bit much to ask Xue’er to get into the water in this situation.
It would be more convenient for her to handle it herself.
She lightly swiped her finger across the surface of the water, and a pair of large hands made of flowing water emerged from the pool, reaching towards the two entangled girls.
Leticia intended to use these hands to lift Bai Ya ashore, so with the combined strength of the three of them, they would definitely be able to control Bai Ya.
However, something unexpected happened.
Before Leticia’s magic could reach Bai Ya, it seemed to have lost its master and reverted to its original normal flow of water.
“Huh?” Leticia was taken aback.
She tried again, but the result was the same.
Her magic couldn’t get close?
“Xue’er, Kira, you guys try too.” Leticia quickly said to the other two girls.
After several attempts, the three girls found that their magic would be immediately dispersed as soon as it approached Bai Ya, which was truly bizarre.
At least, Leticia had never heard of such an ability existing in the world.
However, although she was curious about this, the most important thing at the moment was to control Bai Ya, so that she wouldn’t hurt herself when she was drunk.
Finally, after being kicked in the face several times by Bai Ya, Leticia managed to grab Bai Ya’s two restless feet and, with Kira, carried Bai Ya ashore.
It seemed that after causing enough trouble in the pool, Bai Ya became much more docile after getting ashore. Although she walked unsteadily and spoke intermittently, at least she was no longer acting crazy.
“Is this wine really that strong?” Leticia was also a bit dumbfounded. She felt that what she had given Bai Ya earlier was purely fruit juice. She drank a cup every day without any reaction, but Bai Ya only drank a small sip and had such a big reaction?
“Sister, you don’t seem to get drunk at all,” Kira said helplessly. “This is the highest proof wine for us demons. Normally, other people have to mix it with other fruit juices, but you’re the only one who drinks it directly.”
“But Xiao Ya only drank such a small sip, it shouldn’t be like this?” Leticia poked the still傻笑ing Bai Ya, not daring to believe it.
The effect was too exceptional.
“Let’s send Xiao Ya back to her room first. If she stays here, she’ll catch a cold,” Kira felt that now was not the time to discuss the wine. “Xiao Ya’s room has already been tidied up. After drying her and changing her into pajamas, she can go straight to sleep.”
However, getting a drunk young girl to cooperate with her work was quite troublesome.
After much effort, Leticia and the others finally managed to put clothes on Bai Ya and sent the little girl to the guest room that had been prepared long ago.
Leticia finally breathed a sigh of relief after tucking Bai Ya in and watching the little girl close her eyes and fall into a deep sleep.
It’s finally over. Today’s events made her realize one thing: don’t take everything for granted.
“If the person with the surname Bai finds out I gave Xiao Ya such high-proof wine, won’t she come at me with a sword?” Of course, this was Leticia’s biggest worry.
If Bai Ya awakened her drunkard attribute while under her care, then Bai Ling cutting her down with a sword would be considered being lenient.
“Probably not,” Kira said, her face slightly flushed. When she was wiping Bai Ya earlier, she had touched quite a few of Bai Ya’s private parts, and Bai Ya’s counterattacks had also landed on her quite a few times.
Coupled with the physical exertion, Kira felt like she needed a rest.
“I’m going back to my room to rest. I have official business to handle tomorrow, so I can’t stay up late,” Kira stood up, intending to return to her room to rest.
Leticia quickly stood up and supported her swaying sister, “Let me take you back. It should be fine with Xiao Ya now.”
She was already asleep, so what else could possibly happen?
Tomorrow, if Bai Ya could successfully get out of bed tomorrow, Leticia still wanted to take her to visit various places in the Demon King’s City.
The itinerary was still very tight, so it was time to get some rest.
…
“Last night, did I…” The next morning, the cute Miss Xiao Ya rushed to Leticia in a flust-ter, stammering as she asked about what happened last night.
After getting drunk, she was in a dazed state. She didn’t know what she had done, but she felt that she might not have done anything good.
Who knew that just one sip could make her so drunk!
Sister Qianqian drank a whole large cup without any reaction. Was her alcohol tolerance too poor?
“Ahem, it’s nothing. Xiao Ya, you just fell asleep last night. It took a bit of effort to move you back to your room, but everything else was fine,” Leticia said, shifting her gaze guiltily. She couldn’t possibly say, “Little sister, you were too wild last night, and the three of us almost couldn’t control you.”
“Let’s have some breakfast. I’ll take you to visit the magic academy today,” Leticia said, pointing to the slightly simple breakfast on the table.
She was currently holding a piece of bread spread with jam and topped with a slice of bacon.
“There’s hot milk in the kitchen, um, it should be hot milk. If Xiao Ya wants to drink it, she can pour a cup.”
Leticia wasn’t entirely sure what kind of milk this was, but it tasted like milk, so she just treated it as milk.
Bai Ya naturally wouldn’t refuse this suggestion. She got a cup of milk from the kitchen and sat beside Leticia.
She reached for a sandwich, and the little girl tentatively took a bite.
“Delicious!” Bai Ya’s eyes lit up, and she praised today’s breakfast with joy.
“Hmph, of course it’s delicious. This is breakfast made by Xue’er herself.”
“I thought Qianqian sister would say that this is breakfast specially made for me by Qianqian sister.” Bai Ya stuck out her tongue.
These words made Leticia chuckle, “My culinary skills are hellish.”
If Leticia’s culinary skills were to be described in one word, it would probably be devastating.
The kitchen was a place that Xue’er strictly forbade Leticia from entering. Although this maid was very accommodating in other areas, she was extremely resolute on this point.
Leticia felt very wronged about this. She just couldn’t cook complicated dishes; she could still boil instant noodles herself.
She wasn’t like the heroines in some manga who had kitchen explosion buffs. She had common sense, okay? At most, the food she made would be unpalatable and lethal, but that was nonexistent.
“Speaking of which, I don’t think I’ve ever eaten food made by Qianqian sister,” Bai Ya recalled and found that in her past few years, she had freeloaded Xue’er’s meals, Leticia had freeloaded her meals, but there was never a time when Leticia cooked.
If Xue’er was present, then Xue’er would cook. If Xue’er was absent, Leticia would choose between freeloading at Bai Ya’s place or ordering takeout.
Let me state in advance that this was not because Leticia was lazy, but because as soon as Xue’er discovered that she had touched the stove, she would scold Leticia severely.
The Demon King could not put on any airs in front of Xue’er. Generally, when Xue’er scolded her, the Demon King would lower her head and quietly wait for Xue’er’s anger to subside.
This behavior also occurred when Kira was angry.
As for others… Leticia said, who dares to scold me!
Drag them out and shoot them for ten minutes!
“It’s not good anyway, don’t expect anything like that,” Leticia put the last piece of bread into her mouth. “Eat up quickly, we need to set off.”
“Is the magic academy similar to what’s shown on TV? Or is it similar to our school?” Bai Ya quickly stuffed the remaining sandwiches into her mouth and said vaguely with her cheeks puffed out.
Looking at this, Leticia couldn’t help but chuckle. She reached out and gently tapped Bai Ya’s head, “Swallow your food before you speak.”
The little girl giggled, took a sip of milk, and swallowed the food in her mouth.
“Let’s talk as we walk. The destination is a bit far from here. By the time we get there, it should be lunchtime,” Leticia stood up and walked towards the main entrance.
Bai Ya quickly got up and followed. When they reached the main entrance, she saw the four unicorns that had brought her here yesterday, but it seemed they weren’t pulling her to the magic academy today.
“These guys are still a bit too flashy. I don’t want to become the object of attention for those little brats,” Leticia explained. She brought Bai Ya to a plain-looking carriage parked nearby. “Instead of being ostentatious, I prefer to be low-key and reserved.”
A maid, who had been waiting by the carriage, opened the door for the two girls, revealing the true essence hidden beneath the simple exterior.
“Wow, I think this carriage is more comfortable than the best car I’ve ever ridden in,” Bai Ya said excitedly as she sat on the soft seat.
Of course, this was the carriage the Demon King used for travel. In terms of comfort, Leticia was confident that her carriage was among the best in the entire demon race.
“This is the power of magic,” Leticia said with a proud expression. Bai Ya’s amazement seemed to greatly please her.
“Oh right, Qianqian sister, you should tell me what the magic academy is like now.”
“First of all, the magic academy like on TV is definitely not real. Fighting everywhere will result in punishment,” Leticia cleared her throat and began to introduce their destination to Bai Ya. “Our destination today is the magic academy with the longest history in the demon race. Countless magic masters have graduated from here and become shining stars in the history of the demon race.”
“Some Demon Kings even studied at the academy, leaving behind many elegant legends and stories.”
Leticia herself never attended school; she was mostly self-taught. After all, she was already the Demon King when she was of school age, so she didn’t have the time to waste here.
However, she heard from others that the atmosphere here was quite good, the students got along well, and the teacher-student relationship was exemplary, making it a model among demon magic academies.
A harmonious and loving place like this was very suitable for Bai Ya, who was her age, to visit.
It was just that for some reason, when she proposed this request, the head of the academy seemed a bit hesitant.
But when she asked, the head of the academy acted as if everything was ready for His Majesty’s arrival.
This truly puzzled Leticia.
Could it be that all those promotions were lies?
Magic academies were very common in human novels and TV dramas, so common that they appeared in almost every otherworldly themed work.
Elves had magic academies, demons had magic academies, and even beastmen had magic academies.
Beastmen couldn’t use magic, so what kind of magic academy would they have!
But the demons did have magic academies, and they weren’t greatly different from what humans imagined magic academies to be.
“Ha, I didn’t expect this gate to be so grand,” Leticia said with a sigh of emotion as she lightly leaped off the carriage, looking at the huge stone gate standing on the main road.
However, this was not the actual entrance to the magic academy. In fact, the magic academy had no physical gate or walls.
Walking along this road, one would enter the teaching area of the magic academy, and there were no teaching buildings like those in human schools. Instead, there were buildings of various strange shapes.
The owners of these buildings were the teachers hired by the magic academy, and they would teach students in their own rooms.
“If there are no walls and gates, won’t bad people sneak in and cause trouble?” Bai Ya asked a question that everyone would ask.
Leticia smiled and did not answer.
She took Bai Ya’s hand and led her through the stone gate. The moment they passed through the stone gate, Bai Ya’s eyes widened.
“It feels like something is watching me.”
“It’s the door checking if you have the qualification to enter the academy,” Leticia explained with a smile. “I asked the head of the academy for a pass earlier, so we can both enter.”
Those without a pass would be rejected by the stone gate and unable to enter the academy’s area.
If they tried to force their way in… the teachers in the academy were not to be trifled with.
As for coming out, nothing was needed. One could find any path to leave and didn’t need to pass through this stone gate.
“Oh, I see. Do the students here also enter and exit through here?” Bai Ya asked like a curious baby.
“I don’t know about that. I never went to school here, and Kira has never been here either. I just know that such an academy exists here. As for other situations, I don’t know any more than Xiao Ya does.”
“Huh? Then why did you bring me here, Qianqian sister?”
“Because everyone here is the same age as Xiao Ya. Other places are a bit boring. I think Xiao Ya will like it here more,” Leticia explained with a smile.
As they walked and talked, scattered students began to appear on the roadside. They were wearing various robes, carrying books, and walking and laughing on both sides of the road.
Among these students, Leticia and Bai Ya were clearly outliers.
This made the curious students can’t help but look at them more.
It was quite common for guests to visit the academy, and many nobles often came to the academy to visit and then throw money here.
Their purpose was nothing more than to have their family’s children study here, or to use some connections to get the academy’s teachers to pay more attention to their children.
The academy’s attitude towards these nobles was consistent: they would accept the money, but their actual actions were just as they were.
Of course, they would pay some attention, but not too much. At most, they would not have to participate in some group activities.
As for accepting students, there was no problem at all. The magic academy did not care about the students’ abilities; as long as they could afford the tuition fees, it was fine.
Among the onlookers, a particularly bold girl even approached Bai Ya. “There’s no smell of magic, but there’s a very strange aura, hmm…”
Before she could finish speaking, her companion quickly covered her mouth and pulled her back into the crowd.
“Sorry, she has a slight problem with her brain.” The energetic girl with short blue hair covered the mouth of the bold girl and kept apologizing to Leticia.
“Wuwuwu!” The bold girl struggled continuously, seeming very dissatisfied with the blue-haired girl’s words.
The interaction between these two girls made both Leticia and Bai Ya laugh. This youthful atmosphere made them both feel happier.
Bai Ya felt that these demon peers were similar to human peers, all lively and cute.
As for Leticia, she recalled her past student days.
Although she spent most of her time studying and taking exams then, during her occasional free time, she and her good friends would play around like the two girls in front of her.
“Don’t be so held back. We’re not important figures,” Leticia said to the blue-haired girl after laughing a few times. “Let her go. If you keep covering her mouth, I think she’ll suffocate.”
The blue-haired girl quickly released her hand. The bold girl took several deep breaths of fresh air and then turned to fight with the blue-haired girl.
“Teresa, you bastard, I’ll show you my power!”
The blue-haired girl named Teresa fumbled to deal with the bold girl’s attack. “Ailin, calm down! They’re watching.”
“I don’t care, I want revenge, revenge!” Ailin said seriously. “And they said they’re not important figures, so I’m not afraid at all!”
It seemed that this girl’s brain was indeed not working well.
Watching Ailin being subdued by Teresa again with great interest, Leticia felt that the students in the magic academy were quite interesting.
“Qianqian sister, are the young people of the demon race all this… interesting?” Bai Ya asked in a low voice, holding back her laughter.
“Perhaps it’s a characteristic of this place. I think we can invite them to be our guides,” Leticia cleared her throat and walked up to the two entangled girls. “Excuse me, Miss Teresa, could you please give us a tour of this place?”
“Ah, of course. I’d be happy to serve you.” Upon hearing Leticia’s request, Teresa immediately released Ailin and replied.
Ailin, however, was not so willing. “Why? We still have activities this afternoon.”
Activities? Leticia’s eyes lit up.
Magic academy, activities. When these two concepts were linked, she immediately thought of all sorts of clubs that always occupied a place in countless otherworldly campus works.
This should be very interesting, right?
“Our club only has three people, so we can’t really organize any activities, right?” Teresa retorted.
“But we finally found that target to observe…”
