Chapter: Chapter 169
“When did you become so kind? Do you know you almost ruined my big plan?” Leticia looked at Bai Ling with some surprise. Mo Zili had voluntarily let Bai Ling take her away, which she really hadn’t expected.
She had thought that this Bai person was jealous and had kidnapped the poor little Mo.
“So, why did you use this method to call me over? I don’t think you’re the type to…”
“Be what?” Leticia tilted her head.
“Ask for favors.”
“Ask… When did I ask for favors! This is an order, do you understand orders!” Leticia immediately jumped up. It was an order, an order for Bai Ling to bring Mo Zili to see her.
The Demon King would never beg for favors.
“Mhm, it’s an order.”
“Do you know your tone is very annoying?”
“Alright, stop playing around, it’s time for serious matters.” Bai Ling blocked Leticia’s small fist attack and said to Leticia with a serious expression.
However, judging from her previous behavior, she didn’t seem that concerned about serious matters. Now that she wanted to talk about serious matters, it was probably just to change the subject.
“The serious matter is very simple. Someone plans to unleash a big guy here. I need to stop her now, and Mo Zili is the condition required to summon that big guy.” The Demon King concisely explained her current predicament. “As for the power, it can probably destroy the entire demon world.”
This power surprised even Bai Ling, who had been mentally prepared. She thought for a second, moved her lips, and uttered two words, “A god?”
“Bingo, it’s a god,” Leticia gave Bai Ling a thumbs up. “If I can’t hold it here, and that unsealed god wants to attack the human world, you probably won’t be able to handle it alone, right?”
Although the demons clearly had a worse relationship with that god, who knew if it would think of visiting other worlds after finishing with the demon world?
No, it should be said that this was a certainty. A god, would it be confined to a small place like the demon world?
In this era where gods were absent, as the only god to break free from the seal, wouldn’t it want to conquer the whole world to fulfill its lifelong wish?
Even an idiot could figure this out, and Bai Ling certainly knew it.
“So, our goal is to prevent that person from releasing the god, or to send the god back into the seal after she releases it, right?”
“Your reaction is quite fast, that’s right.” Leticia nodded.
Bai Ling looked at Leticia, then reached out and pinched the girl’s soft cheek. “My reaction has always been fast, but if the god is really released, do we have a chance of winning?”
She was confident in her strength, but when facing something as unreasonable as a god, no one would be entirely certain.
Coincidentally, Leticia was certain.
The Demon King puffed out her small, insignificant chest and said proudly, “That god was once hammered back into the seal by my ancestor.”
Although she wasn’t the one who hammered it, her ancestor had. As a direct descendant of her ancestor, Leticia felt she could probably do it too.
There was no reason why her ancestor could hammer it, but she couldn’t, right? Times were changing, and her ancestor might not be as capable as Leticia.
In this proud emotion, she completely forgot that Bai Ling seemed to have secretly pinched her face when she wasn’t paying attention.
“Sealed by the Demon King before?!” Bai Ling was truly surprised this time. Leticia’s ancestor was very formidable to be able to seal a god.
“Yes, although I don’t know how my ancestor did it, according to records, she fought with the god for three days and three nights and hammered the god back by her own strength. Isn’t that amazing?”
Looking at the proud girl, Bai Ling suppressed the urge to remind her that it was her ancestor, not Leticia’s achievement.
Who knew what kind of magic that ancestor used at that time, or if anyone helped her.
“And Mo Zili, she is a descendant of those people who released the god at that time.” Leticia said to Bai Ling. Although she didn’t know how those who should have been exterminated managed to pass down their bloodline, since people were already here, was there any point in pursuing the reason?
Anyway, the bloodline had been passed down. However, it seemed that this young girl had no idea what kind of sin she was carrying.
“Is that so? You suspect that she, like her ancestor, wants to release the god?”
“No, I don’t suspect her. I’m worried about her teacher wanting to do bad things. Releasing the god doesn’t require her consent.” Leticia shook her head, denying Bai Ling’s suspicion. “Since her ancestor once released a god, it’s not impossible that this bloodline of hers is related to the function of releasing gods.”
This was not baseless talk. Demons were like this, emphasizing the inheritance of bloodlines. Demons whose ancestors were powerful figures were inherently more powerful than ordinary demons.
And like Leticia, whose bloodline was that of a Demon King, every Demon King in her ancestry was a top figure among demons. This bloodline had been passed down through generations, and by Leticia’s generation, she would continue the glory of the Demon King as long as no accidents happened.
Without needing to work hard, just a little time, Leticia could become a very powerful magician.
As for Mo Zili, since her ancestor had released a god, her bloodline might have been marked with the function of releasing gods. It was not impossible to be exploited again after tens of thousands of years.
“Actually, I think the best method is to burn her, to the point where not even ashes are left. That way, no one can release the god.” Leticia said sinisterly.
At any other time, Bai Ling might have raised her hand to hit Leticia to wake her up, but at this moment, she felt that Leticia’s suggestion was very constructive.
Mo Zili was, after all, a demon. Although she liked humans, grew up in the human world, and the mastermind this time was a human.
However, Mo Zili was a demon.
Bai Ling felt that sacrificing a demon to minimize the risk was something worth doing.
If it were a human, Bai Ling would struggle with whether it was worth sacrificing one person to protect the whole world, but who made Mo Zili a demon?
“I think it’s acceptable.” Bai Ling looked up and said to Leticia, “Do you want to do it, or shall I? If I do it, the scene might be a bit bloody.”
“Holy crap, I was just saying, don’t take it seriously!” Seeing that Bai Ling was really going to draw her sword to attack, Leticia quickly stopped her. “There’s also something about Xiaoya that I need to tell you.”
“She has a strange magic-sealing ability when she’s drunk?” After hearing Leticia’s explanation, Bai Ling’s brows furrowed.
Xiaoya was an ordinary person. Bai Ling dared to bet her reputation on it. At least, from her perspective as the strongest human, her sister was undoubtedly a human with no special abilities.
She had tried to examine her sister’s body when she wasn’t paying attention, and the results were the same. Xiaoya’s body was very healthy, an ordinary young girl.
There was no energy fluctuation characteristic of superpowers in her body, which indicated Xiaoya’s identity as an ordinary human girl.
“You don’t believe me?”
“No, I believe you, I believe you wouldn’t lie to me.” Bai Ling quickly shook her head. How could she not believe Leticia?
Perhaps Bai Ling would have doubts about other things, but when it came to Xiaoya, Bai Ling truly wouldn’t doubt Leticia.
Because she knew that Leticia and Xiaoya had a very good relationship, and the Demon King was a very emotional person.
However, the fact that Xiaoya had a magic-sealing ability made Bai Ling a bit disbelieving. But honestly, who would believe that their very cute sister had such an outrageously powerful ability?
According to Leticia, Xiaoya’s magic-sealing ability was enough to silently erase the magic of three high-level demons, including Leticia and Qila. Although it was limited to the area around her body, its potential was already limitless.
If Xiaoya could control this ability herself in the future and expand its range, she would undoubtedly become a treasure tool for fighting demons.
If she stood there, even magic wouldn’t be able to get through. How could demons play then?
“However, I still feel a bit… Do you still have wine there? Should we let Xiaoya get drunk again?” Bai Ling asked slyly.
Wine? Of course.
Leticia lacked everything else, but she wouldn’t lack wine.
She only drank a small glass of wine every day. In Xue’er’s words, a bottle of wine was enough for Leticia to drink for half a month.
And Xue’er often bought a little extra when procuring such items in case of need. Lending out enough wine to get Xiaoya drunk was quite simple.
“But Xiaoya is your sister. Is it really okay to let her drink?” Leticia asked.
If she remembered correctly, Xiaoya wasn’t an adult yet this year. Secretly getting a minor drunk seemed like a crime.
Bai Ling, as the older sister, was truly a sister.
“Didn’t you already let her get drunk once before? Can’t we just let Xiaoya drink less this time?” Bai Ling said it was no big deal. Last time, even without warning, Xiaoya had been fine. This time, with preparation, and with her here, it would be strange if there were any problems.
Compared to thinking blindly without any clues here, Bai Ling felt it was better to let Xiaoya get drunk again to demonstrate her ability.
Observing up close could always reveal something special.
“Since you say so, I have no objections.” Leticia walked to the study door, opened it, and then she saw the two girls suspiciously hiding in the corner.
“Qianqian, your study is so soundproof.” Xiaoya, having been discovered, moved out from the corner with a sheepish smile.
She originally wanted to listen to what her sister and Qianqian were talking about, but even with her ear pressed against the door, she couldn’t hear anything from inside the room.
“I couldn’t stop her.” Mo Zili also stood obediently beside Xiaoya and said to Leticia with her head down.
She didn’t want to eavesdrop, but she saw Xiaoya’s actions and felt it wasn’t right, so she led Xiaoya a bit further away.
As soon as she led her to the corner, Leticia opened the door and walked out.
“Ah, forget it. Mo Zili, come in for a moment, I have something to tell you.” Leticia patted Mo Zili’s shoulder and whispered in her ear, “It’s about your background.”
“Eh?!” Mo Zili looked up in surprise.
It had only been a few days, and Miss Su had already found news of her parents. It was too fast, too efficient.
“Xiaoya, you go to the living room and sit for a while. We’ll be out soon after we finish talking.” Leticia smiled at the young girl.
She couldn’t eavesdrop, and now she was being asked to go to the living room by Qianqian. Xiaoya was already starting to get a little angry.
What made her even angrier was that her sister was standing behind Qianqian and not saying a word.
She wished her sister would say to Qianqian at this moment, “Let Xiaoya stay and listen too.”
But her sister didn’t. She stood there like a wooden person, thinking about something unknown.
Until Leticia led Mo Zili into the room and closed the door, Bai Ling didn’t say a word to Xiaoya.
This was so annoying!
Xiaoya was really going to get angry.
“Bad sister! Bad Qianqian!” The young girl puffed out her cheeks and ran back to the living room in a huff.
She had already thought about what her sister would say later. It would definitely be something like, “Xiaoya doesn’t need to know these things, leave them to sister,” such words.
She already knew that Qianqian was a demon, such a big thing, why couldn’t she know other things?
While Xiaoya was sulking, Mo Zili in the room felt a little scared.
After Leticia closed the door, the atmosphere in the room immediately changed. The previously relaxed atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
Bai Ling sized her up with a scrutinizing gaze, while Leticia stood aside observing her actions.
After this long scrutiny, which lasted for an unknown amount of time, Bai Ling finally spoke, “Perhaps you don’t know me and this girl by my side yet.”
“Ah?” Mo Zili, whose clothes were already drenched in cold sweat, didn’t understand.
She knew Miss Bai and Miss Su. She even knew that Miss Bai was named Bai Ling.
“To make you understand the seriousness of what we are about to say, I think it is necessary for you to know our true identities.” Leticia picked up Bai Ling’s words. She had originally wanted to keep her identity secret, but since Bai Ling had started that way, she could only follow suit.
“Miss Bai and Miss Su’s, true identities?” Mo Zili’s smile became a little forced. She felt that she was about to hear explosive news.
Knowing these things, she might not be able to leave this room alive.
“Yes, our true identities.” Bai Ling nodded. “Don’t worry, although my suggestion is to eliminate all future troubles, she has a different opinion, so you are currently safe.”
