Chapter: Chapter 172
“Your examination was quite intense.” Bai Ling carefully placed Mo Zili, who was staring blankly with drool at the corner of her mouth, onto the bed, looking at Lathia with a strange expression.
What happened in the bathroom earlier could only be described as gruesome.
Lathia’s examination could only be described as terrifying. At any rate, judging by Mo Zili’s reaction, this so-called examination could be considered torture.
“After all, it was a complete examination. Did you think it would be comfortable?” Lathia spread her hands, indicating that Bai Ling seemed to misunderstand what she meant by examination. “I chose that spot to help her relax a bit, and incidentally, to make it convenient to handle if she had an accident.”
However, Mo Zili’s endurance was quite good; she didn’t lose composure too much, at least thwarting Lathia’s original plan.
Her current state of blankness could be cured by a night’s sleep, so it wasn’t a big deal.
“Wait for me here. I’m going to cast a spell on her.” Lathia waved her hand, signaling Bai Ling to step aside. “When they come to capture her, I’ll activate the curse and deal with her.”
Lathia was keeping Mo Zili for now because she still had a good impression of the girl and felt it wasn’t right to let a young girl die prematurely like this.
But if her existence were to threaten the safety of the demon race, Lathia would not hesitate; she would be the first to eliminate this threat.
“I’m sorry.” Lathia walked to Mo Zili’s side and whispered.
The girl’s unfocused eyes showed no reaction. At this moment, she was like a meticulously crafted doll.
The excruciating pain she had just experienced had caused her to defensively shut down her consciousness. Mo Zili was indeed a puppet at this moment, a living puppet.
Bai Ling stood not far away, watching with a complicated expression as Lathia drew an extremely complex magic array with golden threads of magic on Mo Zili’s forehead.
Ten minutes later, Lathia clapped her hands. “Whew, it’s been a while since I’ve done this. My skills are a bit rusty.”
“You’ve done this before?”
“Many times. I do this to enemies I don’t trust but don’t want to kill.” Lathia sighed. “Unfortunately, none of those people lived to see this day.”
“Let’s go. It’s time to get some rest. There’s a pile of nonsense to deal with tomorrow.” Lathia yawned. “You can sleep in the room next door. I’m going back to my room.”
“Wait!” Seeing Lathia about to leave, Bai Ling quickly reached out and grabbed Lathia’s wrist.
“Huh, what is it?” Lathia tilted her head.
“Um, we haven’t seen each other for so long, shouldn’t we, um, communicate properly?” Bai Ling asked softly, blushing. “How about we sleep together tonight?”
Lathia’s eyes widened. This Bai Ling was too shameless!
Wow, she had kissed her forcefully half a year ago, and now she was saying such things as if nothing had happened. How thick-skinned could this person be!
“I suspect you’ve forgotten the taste of my slap, haven’t you?” Lathia raised her hand, as if to make Bai Ling recall the taste of her slap from half a year ago.
But how could Bai Ling be afraid of this? If she could sleep with Lathia for one night by taking a slap, or even kiss Lathia, Bai Ling wouldn’t feel any pain even if she was slapped ten times a day.
Anyway, her recovery ability was strong. A normal slap from Lathia without magic would leave a red mark that would disappear within half a day at most.
As for the pain, that was even simpler. As a warrior with thick skin, she could ignore the pain of a slap.
“I promise I won’t touch you!” Bai Ling patted her chest and promised.
“What use is your promise?” Lathia poked Bai Ling’s chest fiercely with her finger and asked sternly, “We’re facing a major battle now. Instead of thinking about how to win, you’re thinking about these things. You’re too shameless!”
However, Lathia’s action had no effect; instead, it gave Bai Ling hope.
After all, Lathia hadn’t explicitly refused. As long as there was no explicit refusal, there was hope.
With hope, it would depend on how she pursued it. Bai Ling firmly believed that opportunities belonged to those who were prepared, and she was prepared and would work hard.
Taking advantage of Lathia poking her chest, Bai Ling suddenly pulled the petite and charming girl into her arms.
“What are you doing? Let me go!” Lathia immediately began to struggle.
But her struggles were so weak that they were almost negligible.
Bai Ling knew that she had guessed correctly this time.
“Promise me, okay? Just this once.” She brought her mouth close to Lathia’s ear and whispered very, very softly.
Lathia wanted to refuse, but held in Bai Ling’s arms, she was already in a state of daze.
“No, absolutely not.” She shook her head desperately, firmly resisting the thought of sleeping together that popped into her mind.
One night would lead to two nights, and two nights would lead to three nights. If they slept together for three nights, would she get used to sleeping with Bai Ling from now on?
No, she felt it was impossible. She was the Demon King; how could she get used to sleeping with a human?
Moreover, this human was so annoying, so persistent, and had no advantages other than her appearance.
She absolutely could not fall into the arms of this outwardly beautiful person.
“Then escape from my arms. With your ability, you can easily do that, right?” Bai Ling said with a sly smile. “If you don’t escape, I’ll assume you agree.”
Such shameless words made Lathia’s face turn red, not from shyness, but from anger. She felt that Bai Ling was clearly looking down on her.
Good-for-nothing Lathia could not accept being looked down upon by Bai Ling. So, she gritted her teeth and actually extracted a trace of strength from her soft body, breaking free from Bai Ling’s embrace.
She retreated a few steps in a slightly disheveled manner, and the Demon King girl took a few breaths and stammered, “You… you get lost!”
A hint of regret flashed in Bai Ling’s eyes. She had thought Lathia would really not resist, but in the end, she still escaped.
But this was the Lathia she knew. If she were so easily swayed, Bai Ling would be worried.
If she could win over Lathia with this method, then others could too. What if Lathia met a girl who was as beautiful as her someday? Would she fall for her as quickly as she did for herself now?
One could not say for sure.
…
“Hiss… Why am I having such a dream?” The next morning, Lathia, lying in bed, opened her eyes on time.
Her head was slightly tilted to the side. When she realized that what happened in her dream was just a dream, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Perhaps it was because Bai Ling’s arrival had disturbed her state of mind. She had not slept well all night. Her dreams were filled with the figure of that white-haired girl.
Although in the dream, she had absolute control, and even made that damned white-haired girl kneel and lick her feet, Lathia felt something was not quite right.
Why was she dreaming of this white-haired scoundrel in her dream?
One thinks about it during the day and dreams about it at night. But she hadn’t thought about doing anything with Bai Ling during the day, let alone doing things that would make a pure girl like her blush.
In fact, later on, Lathia’s poor little brain could no longer render such stimulating scenes.
In a word, it was that Lathia had a wet dream.
It was normal to have wet dreams, everyone had them. What made Lathia confused was the protagonist of her wet dream this time.
One was herself, which was easy to understand. But why was the other person that white-haired girl?
“Whew, it must be an accident.” Lathia tried to convince herself that having Bai Ling as the protagonist of her wet dream was quite normal.
That person was beautiful, and she seemed interested in her. So, it wasn’t impossible for her to mess around with her in her dream.
After all, it was just a dream. As long as she didn’t say anything, only heaven and earth would know.
She got out of bed, walked into the bathroom in a daze, and looked at the girl in the mirror who looked a little haggard. Lathia said fiercely to the girl in the mirror, “You absolutely cannot fall in love, understand!”
Of course, the girl in the mirror would not answer. If she did, Lathia was afraid she would smash the mirror with a spell.
She splashed cold water on her face to wash away the lingering sleepiness, and Lathia casually brushed her not-so-long hair. Anyway, Xue’er would help her tidy it up again later.
After finishing, she walked out of the bathroom. Xue’er was already waiting in the room with a few clothes in her arms.
“Good morning, Your Majesty.” The maid said with a smile. “Breakfast is ready.”
In fact, Lathia had always been curious about how many hours Xue’er slept each day. She felt that Xue’er always slept later than her, woke up earlier than her, and never took naps. Over the years, wouldn’t her body have problems?
To Lathia’s confusion, Xue’er just smiled. “Your Majesty, please don’t worry too much. I’ve been doing this for so many years, and I’m used to this schedule.”
“That’s what you say, but I always feel like I’m a stingy boss who exploits employees.” Lathia poked her head out of the collar of a relatively simple black dress. “So, can’t you prepare a pair of pants? I have to go to many places today.”
“No, you can’t.” Xue’er shook her head. “Today’s outfit has already taken into account exercise. Your Majesty will definitely not feel any trouble wearing it.”
That’s what she said, and Lathia did feel that this dress was more convenient for exercise than the ones she wore in the past few days.
However, “If we really fight, won’t it be indecent?”
Xue’er immediately took out a pair of leggings from her fourth-dimensional pocket, indicating that she was well-prepared for this.
“Ah, this.” Lathia had nothing to say.
She obediently put on her clothes and socks with Xue’er’s help. Looking at the girl in the mirror who was dressed all in black, Lathia inexplicably felt that she looked quite handsome.
The black long socks, which were almost opaque on the lower legs, were not as uncomfortable to wear as she had imagined; instead, they were quite comfortable.
The craftsmanship of demon artisans had improved recently. Lathia remembered that socks like these used to be “hot” in one word.
They were so hot that she had to switch to thinner socks.
Her current attire made her look like an adventurer in the general impression, heroic and capable, giving a very sharp impression.
Except for her slightly petite figure, everything else was impeccable.
Even Bai Ling, upon seeing Lathia like this, felt that Lathia had a different charm today.
“I didn’t expect you to have such a side.” Bai Ling, who was already sitting in the dining room eating breakfast, looked at Lathia walking down from the second floor, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
Such a heroic Lathia made Bai Ling feel that she was quite handsome.
“When I’m serious, I’m amazing, okay?” Lathia said with a look of disgust. “Unlike you, you haven’t even changed your clothes.”
Yes, although it was embarrassing to say, Bai Ling had been wearing the same clothes since she entered the demon race until today.
She could use her power to keep her body and clothes clean without any odor, but in reality, she had not changed her clothes for more than a week.
“I didn’t bring any spare clothes.” Bai Ling turned her head away guiltily. “Besides, it doesn’t matter if I don’t change.”
They wouldn’t get dirty anyway, so what was the harm in wearing them for a few more days?
To be honest, Bai Ling’s clothes were actually cleaner than those hanging in the closet. For her, wearing clothes was just for beauty and to cover her body.
And the clothes she was wearing now were the ones she thought looked best, so she was reluctant to change them.
“Wow, you’re so sloppy.” The King of Slops expressed his disdain.
Xue’er looked at Lathia with narrowed eyes. Her Majesty still couldn’t wash clothes or fold quilts.
However, a Demon King indeed didn’t need to master these skills, but such a Majesty seemed to have no right to scorn others.
“Without Xue’er, I don’t think you’d be much better than me,” Bai Ling said, not giving Lathia as much face as Xue’er. “You don’t even know how to dress properly.”
“Who says I don’t know how to dress properly?!”
“Really?” Bai Ling tilted her head. Why did she remember that Lathia always needed Xue’er to help her dress every day?
“Wow, you look down on me!” Lathia immediately rolled up her sleeves, intending to fight Bai Ling.
To prevent her Majesty from embarrassing herself so early in the morning, Xue’er quickly put her hand on Lathia’s shoulder. “Your Majesty, please eat breakfast first.”
“Tch, I’ll let you off the hook today.” Lathia still had to give Xue’er face, so she sat down on the chair unhappily and ate breakfast with a fierce expression.
It was as if she was eating Bai Ling’s blood and flesh.
Lathia’s fierce look even made Bai Ling a little scared.
“What are you looking at? Go be a glutton!”
