Chapter: Chapter 159
“Strange, why do I feel like someone is following us?” Leticia kept looking back. Since this morning, the person hiding behind her seemed to have stopped pretending and was now openly peeking.
Before, she could only notice that person’s prying gaze at very specific moments, but now, Leticia could clearly sense that fiery gaze.
It was definitely that person surnamed Bai.
Besides that pervert, no one else would look at her like that.
Was that person tired of pretending and planning to confront her directly?
But it didn’t seem like she had that intention. She just didn’t want to hide her gaze anymore… Oh, wait, was she doing this deliberately to let Leticia know she was watching?
The purpose was to tell Leticia that she had always been watching her.
Including when Leticia was flirting with girls, she was watching.
“Tch, what is this, a threat?” Leticia muttered unhappily to herself.
Did that person think she would be more restrained after knowing she was being followed?
Just kidding, who was Leticia? The Demon King! The boss of the demons!
In the Demon Realm, she could do whatever she wanted.
If Bai Ling dared, she could come out and fight her. Did she dare?
“Sister Qianqian, what are you mumbling about? I don’t understand a word,” Little Ya poked Leticia’s waist. Since this morning, Sister Qianqian had become a bit strange.
She kept muttering to herself, and her facial expressions kept changing, as if she were performing some kind of face-changing trick.
“It’s nothing, I just got annoyed by some bastard.” Leticia rubbed her face, adjusted her expression, “Alright, let’s continue.”
“Mm-hmm.” Although she was curious about who the “bastard” Sister Qianqian mentioned was, Little Ya knew that if Leticia didn’t want to tell her something, no matter how much she pouted, Leticia wouldn’t say a word.
And Little Ya’s intuition told her that Leticia would not tell her about this matter.
They were currently strolling on the largest commercial street in the Demon Realm. The differences between the shops here and those in the human world were significant. Although clothing stores were always present, there were also shops specializing in magic, unique to the demon race.
The display cases of these shops were filled with finely crafted slender wooden sticks, which were the items demons used to cast magic – wands.
Leticia’s demonic sword was a variant of a wand. Although it looked like a sword and could be swung like one, in essence, it was a wand.
Generally, the more magic circuits inscribed in a wand, the higher its quality. Wands like those of Leticia and Kira were of the highest quality.
“Little Ya, do you want to buy one as a souvenir?” Leticia asked.
Even though Bai Ya couldn’t cast magic, it would be nice to have one as a souvenir.
Regardless of their practical performance, the wands displayed in this shop were all very attractive in appearance.
The color combinations were quite vibrant, and the main body was of a moderate thickness, making them very comfortable to hold. The prices displayed on the tags seemed to silently indicate their prestige.
“But it seems useless for me to have it,” Little Ya said, although she found the wands beautiful, she couldn’t cast magic.
In her hands, they would just be ordinary decorative items.
“It’s okay, I have plenty of money, I can afford a wand.” To entertain Little Ya, Kira had generously lifted Leticia’s spending restrictions, so Leticia was currently in a rare state of being able to spend freely.
“Let’s go in and take a look first.”
Pushed into the stylish wand shop by Leticia, Bai Ya was immediately surrounded by a group of young ladies with unsettling light in their eyes.
“Is this lady looking for a wand? The wands here are made with the best materials from the Demon King’s Castle, and the magic circuits in each wand are meticulously engraved by masters…”
Surrounded by the shop assistants, Xiao Ya was forced to start choosing.
Meanwhile, Leticia politely declined the assistance of the other shop assistants, stating that she intended to look around by herself.
Leticia possessed a noble aura that was difficult to ignore, which almost convinced the shop assistants with 100% certainty that the young lady’s identity was extraordinary.
Since she had made this request, any further attempt to approach her would only be bothersome.
So, in the end, only one of the more experienced shop assistants accompanied Leticia as she browsed the store.
“Can I take the wands out to have a look?” Leticia asked, stopping in front of a display case and turning around.
“Of course, you can, but if you break it, you’ll have to pay the full price.”
Hearing this, Leticia glanced at the price tag stuck to the outside of the cabinet and thought, well, it wasn’t very expensive.
“Let me see it. I hope its quality matches its price.”
“Our wands will definitely not disappoint you, miss,” the shop assistant said with a forced smile. She walked to the counter and took out that wand.
Leticia took the wand and her brow immediately furrowed. There were too many useless magic circuits inside this wand.
It was clearly prioritizing quantity over quality. With just a touch, she knew that this ornate wand was completely superficial – a beautifully decorated exterior with nothing inside. Anyone who bought it was undoubtedly a complete fool.
“This isn’t good,” she said, shaking her head and returning the wand to the shop assistant. “Do you have any wands suitable for beginners?”
“Are you planning to buy one for that young lady over there?” the shop assistant asked, glancing at Bai Ya, who was completely dazed. If she couldn’t use magic at all, perhaps something like that would be suitable?
“Yes, her aptitude isn’t very good, but having a wand is better than not having one.” Leticia was lying with her eyes wide open again.
Bai Ya had no magical talent at all. It would be strange for a human to have magical talent.
“Then we recommend you to buy wands from this area,” the shop assistant led Leticia to a counter nearby. “These wands can have a magic spell engraved on them. As long as the user can activate the spell, they can release the engraved magic once.”
“Although it’s a one-time use, it will undoubtedly become a trump card in critical moments.”
“Oh, that sounds good,” Leticia’s eyes lit up. This idea seemed quite promising, allowing Little Ya to have the ability to protect herself.
“Quick, let me see it.”
…
When Leticia and Bai Ya walked out of the wand shop, she wasn’t holding anything.
Yes, she didn’t buy any of the wands from the shop.
The reason was quite simple: she felt it wasn’t worth it. The money for a wand was enough for her to hire a master to craft a specialized, easy-to-use wand for Little Ya.
In terms of quality and cost-effectiveness, it seemed much better to have someone custom-make one.
“I’ll place an order when I get back and have them make the prettiest wand for Little Ya,” Leticia said to her little sister, Bai Ya.
However, Bai Ya wasn’t very interested in wands. As a human, even with a wand, she could only treat it as an ordinary decoration.
“There’s no need to spend so much money. For me, a wand is no different from an ordinary wooden stick.”
“No,” Leticia shook her head. “The wand I’m preparing for Little Ya will allow her to use magic.”
“Huh?”
“The specific principles are a bit complicated to explain, but I think my subordinates can definitely make it, so just trust your Sister Qianqian,” Leticia patted Little Ya’s head, saying confidently, “By then, Little Ya will have the ability to protect herself.”
Although it was a one-time self-protection ability.
If Bai Ling received her letter, she should arrive in a few days. If she didn’t, it would mean that person wasn’t home at all.
If she wasn’t home, where could she be?
Leticia’s gaze subtly drifted behind her. Could it be that she was here?
Leticia had no intention of hiding Bai Ya’s abnormality from Bai Ling. This was Bai Ling’s own sister, and she had to explain it clearly.
Leticia had never encountered such a strange anti-magic ability before. She was the Demon King, and even her spells were so easily nullified.
The upper limit of this ability was unimaginable.
Although this ability couldn’t manifest when Bai Ya was conscious, who knew what would happen in the future?
If her ability only affected demons, then Leticia would have to carefully consider how to keep her little sister, Bai Ya, in the Demon Realm and prevent her from leaving.
A walking anti-magic zone was a being that completely countered demons.
“Little Ya, I think your sister might be following us, secretly watching us,” Leticia said.
“Huh?” Bai Ya froze for a moment.
“Does that person like peeking so much?” Leticia was a little displeased. If she wanted to look, she should look openly. What was the point of secretly following?
It was as if she could drive her away even if she appeared directly in front of her.
Bai Ling was, of course, unaware of Leticia’s thoughts. She was currently on the roof of a three-story building with Mo Zili. The black-haired girl was holding binoculars, observing the girl in the distance who seemed to be looking back.
“Have we been discovered?”
“Remove the ‘have we,’ we have definitely been discovered.” Bai Ling said helplessly. This girl didn’t know how to hide her gaze at all, and Leticia was such a sensitive girl, so they were 100% discovered.
So, Bai Ling was now contemplating whether or not to jump down and confront her.
Under the circumstances where you know I’m peeking, the longer you drag it out, the more ridicule you’ll likely receive later.
However, being mocked by Leticia in that “Ahhh, I can’t stand you” tone didn’t seem like a bad thing.
“Ah, is it because of me? I’m sorry, I was being too willful,” Mo Zili quickly put down the binoculars and apologized to Bai Ling.
She felt that the problem wasn’t within Bai Ling’s side, as she had already witnessed that girl’s incredible methods. If it wasn’t Bai Ling’s fault, then it was clearly her own fault.
That girl named Qianqian was very powerful, and Mo Zili had heard that powerful people could sense the gaze falling on them.
Perhaps her undisguised gaze had exposed their presence.
“It’s okay, she was already suspicious,” Bai Ling shook her head. “However, I didn’t bring you out just to track her. We still have things to do, don’t we?”
Yes, Bai Ling brought Mo Zili not to track Leticia, but to help Mo Zili find clues about her parents.
Why would the demon race leave their children on the battlefield? Was there a conspiracy behind it? Who was Mo Zili’s teacher, and why was she connected to the demons?
These were all questions that Bai Ling wanted to explore, so she directly took Mo Zili out of the academy.
Coincidentally, Mo Zili didn’t want to stay in the academy either. Although Leticia had taught that annoying man a lesson yesterday, who knew if he would continue to torment people today?
It was better to run out with Bai Ling than to see and be annoyed.
“After I’m done with your business, I’ll go find her. But before that, let’s go to the place you often visit in your dreams.”
“Okay.”
…
“Divine Throne…” In a廃弃c church on the outskirts of the Demon King’s City, Mo Zili’s teacher coldly watched the young girl who had been sitting in a front pew since she entered the church.
That person exuded a familiar aura. Only people from that organization carried such an aura.
Divine Throne, why would these troublemakers appear in this place?
“Don’t you know why I’m here?” The girl stood up and patted her skirt. “This place was really hard to find. If it weren’t for the guidance of the divine lord, I might not have been able to find it.”
“So, you’re here to stop me?”
“Ah, do I need to answer that question?” The girl turned around, revealing a smile. “I think you already know the answer, don’t you?”
Tch, the woman snorted coldly. It seemed like she was in for a tough fight today.
The girl saw the woman’s fighting spirit, but she seemed rather nonchalant, as if she didn’t take the woman in front of her seriously. “Alas, people these days always confuse good people with bad people. Compared to you inhumane fellows, how great we Divine Throne are.”
“You’re all using the power of gods to satisfy your own desires. How are you any better than me?”
“At least our reasons sound more righteous?” The girl giggled. “And no matter what you say, we haven’t killed anyone, have we?”
“But you, you intend to use the power of gods to seek revenge on the demons. The lives of demons are also lives.”
