Chapter: Chapter 191
Defeating a dragon? Leticia didn’t think it would be difficult; after all, she wasn’t afraid to fight dragons when she was younger.
Those large lizards with wings were only scary in appearance. In a real fight, their threat level wasn’t that high.
However, before playing the part of a dragon slayer, Leticia had something else to do: meet up with her external support.
After seeing the beam of light she’d emitted, Bai Ling should be walking towards the light, and if she walked in that direction, it shouldn’t take long to meet Bai Ling.
“That’s why I say, why resort to violence when things can be resolved through discussion? If you had been able to talk properly with my ancestor in the past, you wouldn’t have ended up in this situation, right?” Leticia said to the deity as she walked.
She knew the deity was listening.
“Heh, I am a god.” The deity’s intent was clear: she was a god, how could she possibly negotiate with beings she considered as insignificant as ants?
This time, her submission was only because she wanted to live more comfortably. After all, if she truly refused to cooperate, Leticia wouldn’t be able to do anything to her.
“Sigh, pointless pride. Gods are also living beings; they can get hurt and die. Isn’t it just that they’re born with higher innate strength than us?” Leticia rolled her eyes. She had never thought of gods as anything great.
In her opinion, gods were just beings with infinite lifespans and capped power; they were powerful, but not overwhelmingly so.
The Fog God, who had actually fought her, was a perfect example.
When Leticia fought her, the pressure wasn’t even as great as when she fought Bai Ling.
To put it bluntly, if Bai Ling had been more durable, that Fog God would have likely been solo-killed by Bai Ling.
As long as the stamina issue could be resolved, even Leticia was confident she could fight a god head-on. Last time, before her magic ran out, the Fog God couldn’t do anything to her.
Although the Fog God might have been one of the weaker gods, she was still a god, after all. The fact that she couldn’t defeat Leticia in a short period and could only wear her down made Leticia feel proud.
“To be honest, I haven’t just not fought other gods. That guy talked a big game, but when it came down to it, he couldn’t defeat me.”
“Hmph? Aren’t you afraid of dislocating your tongue with such big talk?” The deity certainly didn’t believe Leticia’s words.
Defeating a god with the body of a mortal was a joke. Gods wouldn’t believe such nonsensical lies.
“I’m not lying. The god I defeated could conjure thick fog. Although I didn’t defeat her with my own strength, she fought me for hours. If it weren’t for my magic running out, she still wouldn’t have been able to defeat me.”
“Thick fog?” The deity fell silent. She realized that Leticia might not be lying; this girl had truly fought one of her own kind.
Having fought one of her own kind and now being able to stand here and talk to her, the outcome of that battle was self-evident.
The victor was this girl.
“Yes, thick fog…” Leticia said, swaying her head. She was still proud of that battle.
That was a god, defeated by her and Bai Ling together.
Although the majority of the damage was dealt by the automaton, Leticia was undoubtedly the MVP.
Before she could finish expressing her pride, she suddenly ran into a soft embrace.
Her body was held tightly, and a familiar aura surrounded her. Leticia immediately knew who had embraced her.
No need for many words; this hug alone confirmed that the girl in front of her was the one she knew so well.
“Hey, don’t act like I just escaped from the brink of death.” Leticia smiled and lightly patted Bai Ling’s back. “You’re pretty fast. I guess I didn’t misjudge you.”
“You owe me again,” Bai Ling said in a very soft voice, burying her head in Leticia’s shoulder. “How do you plan to repay me this time?”
“How do you want me to repay you?” Leticia didn’t refuse outright as she usually would, but instead asked with a smile.
Although she wasn’t in any mortal danger here, Bai Ling didn’t know that. The fact that she’d rushed into the divine realm to save her in such a short time deeply touched Leticia.
Leticia often treated Bai Ling poorly, frequently scolding and hitting her, yet whenever she was in danger, Bai Ling always rushed to her aid. Leticia wasn’t heartless and was naturally moved.
If Bai Ling had appeared like a divine intervention when Leticia was in a tough fight, she might have been completely won over. Unfortunately, fate was not on her side; Leticia’s relationship with the deity was quite harmonious.
Aside from the initial irrational shouting match, the deity’s subsequent attitude had been quite satisfactory for Leticia.
“Be my girlfriend.”
“Don’t even think about it. Miss, your great kindness can only be repaid in my next life.” Leticia playfully punched Bai Ling, but with almost zero force. “Alright, alright, we’ll talk about sentimental matters later. We still have things to do.”
Still things to do? Does that mean there are still enemies to deal with? Bai Ling immediately let go of Leticia and assumed a fighting stance.
The deity’s voice came from the heavens, “Tsk, if I say, you leave her here and come out with me, and I’ll obey your every command forever, what would you choose?”
Leticia’s eye twitched. Was this deity out of her mind? Did she even need to hesitate over this question?
“No way. Compared to you, who just tried to kill me, she’s better.” Leticia firmly refused.
Bai Ling turned her head away guiltily. She had also been one of the people who wanted to defeat Leticia, and the one who was only one step away from victory.
It was truly difficult for Her Majesty the Demon King to choose between two people who had previously wanted to kill her.
“Don’t misunderstand. I mean compared to her, you’re better.” After saying that, Leticia immediately turned to Bai Ling and said, “But in my heart, your position is still very low.”
Hearing this, Bai Ling chuckled. This was like trying to hide something that was obvious.
It was indeed a very Leticia-like response.
“Okay, I definitely won’t misunderstand.” She smiled and gently ruffled Leticia’s head. “My Demon King.”
“Hey, what’s with that action? Get your pig hands off me!”
…
“How is it? This is a body specially made for you by those people.” Leticia smiled, resting her chin on her hand, and looked at ‘Mo Ziling,’ who was sitting somewhat stiffly on the chair.
‘Mo Ziling’ held a short, dark staff. Upon closer inspection, several black threads could be seen extending from the end of the staff and disappearing into Mo Ziling’s wrist.
The deity, who had a terrible attitude at first, was now controlling this body.
“It’s not bad, but I can feel that this body isn’t entirely obedient.” The deity raised her hand and squinted.
“Because, theoretically speaking, I am the owner of this body.” Leticia snapped her fingers. “Pick up the cup of water in front of you.”
The deity was surprised to find her body moving on its own without her command. She struggled with all her might but couldn’t stop her body’s movement.
This made her slightly unhappy.
“Don’t look so displeased. If you don’t cause trouble, I won’t treat you this way,” the Demon King said cheerfully. “I’m really looking forward to cooperating with a deity.”
“Hmph, don’t expect me to help you. I just wanted to come out and see, that’s all.”
“Yes, yes. By the way, do you want to go have a chat with your old rival? That deity seems to be my ancestor.” Leticia brought up another matter.
After safely leaving the deity’s divine realm, Yin Feinuo immediately approached her.
After a private chat with Yin Feinuo for half a day, Leticia finally accepted the reality that she now had an ancestor.
However, having another cute ancestor wasn’t a bad thing.
Yin Feinuo praised Leticia for convincing the Underworld God to cooperate with the demon race.
“You’ve done a much better job than your ancestor.” Yin Feinuo patted Leticia’s head, seemingly trying to curry favor with her junior. “But it’s really strange that she would back down.”
“Perhaps she doesn’t want to be confined alone in that dark place anymore. Your place here is much nicer than hers.” Leticia shrugged. She wasn’t speaking insincerely; Yin Feinuo’s palace indeed looked much better than the Underworld God’s place, which had no light.
Yin Feinuo chuckled. “You have a sweet mouth. Tell her to visit me if she has the chance.”
That’s why Leticia brought this up. The Underworld God didn’t seem very interested in her old rival’s invitation.
“What is there to talk about with her? Does she want to mock me?” The Underworld God chuckled, but despite her words, her body obediently stood up.
She walked to the door, and before leaving the room, she turned back and left Leticia with a parting statement: “I’ll go talk to her.”
“Go ahead, go ahead. You can even stay for dinner at your ancestor’s place.” Leticia waved her hand. After the Underworld God had completely disappeared, she quietly grumbled, “She’s the tsundere one, though.”
“Saying that from your mouth is very unconvincing.” The Underworld God had only just left when Bai Ling, who had been waiting outside the room for a long time, walked in.
Leticia’s whispered words were not lost on her. Regarding this kind of tsundere behavior directed at herself, Miss Bai decided to take it at face value.
“Hey, I feel like you’re getting a bit too bold. Don’t think that just because you entered the divine realm to save me, my attitude towards you will change.” Leticia immediately stood up, slamming the table. However, no matter how she tried to muster her imposing aura, due to her height, her presence was always lacking in front of Bai Ling.
And her words were almost entirely untrue. At least from Bai Ling’s perspective, after this incident, Leticia’s attitude towards her had clearly improved.
Although she was still harsh with her words, her feelings were undeniable.
Leticia had clearly been moved, Miss Bai thought.
“Okay, nothing has changed.” She replied with a smile. “I came to tell you something. Xiao Ya’s vacation is almost over too, so we have to leave.”
“Leaving so soon?” Leticia asked instinctively.
After saying the entire sentence, she belatedly realized that her words carried a different meaning.
It sounded as if she didn’t want Bai Ling to leave so soon. How could she not want her to leave?
Leticia was certain of this when she saw the change in Bai Ling’s expression. Looking at Bai Ling’s slightly raised eyebrows, Leticia felt her face flush.
“Don’t misunderstand. I just feel that after only a few days, Xiao Ya probably hasn’t had enough fun yet.” She quickly added, “As for you, if you want to leave, then leave. I don’t care about you.”
After she said that, Bai Ling’s expression became even more infuriating. The smile on her face was uncontrollable. “Mhm, mhm, then I, who is unwanted, will leave by myself.”
Saying that, she turned around, seemingly intending to leave alone.
This woman… a vein popped out on Leticia’s forehead. Can’t she just not be so infuriating?
Did she really think she would ask her to stay? Leticia was determined to show Bai Ling today that it was impossible!
She, the dignified Demon King, would never do something so contradictory. If Bai Ling wanted to leave, then let her leave. She didn’t care at all.
The white-haired girl walked step by step towards the room’s door, her pace very slow, as if deliberately giving Leticia time to ask her to stay.
But until her hand reached the doorknob, Leticia remained rooted to the spot, not saying a word.
Bai Ling looked back with a hint of curiosity but was met with Leticia’s gaze that seemed to say, ‘Why aren’t you leaving yet?’ Leticia then yelled, “If you’re going, hurry up and leave! Don’t block my view here.”
It seemed that usual methods for dealing with tsundere behavior wouldn’t work on Leticia, Bai Ling thought.
Fortunately, she had another secret weapon. “Summer is approaching, and I’m planning a beach vacation. Do you want to come with me?”
Leticia froze for a moment. “The beach?”
There were no true seas in the Demon Realm, so Leticia was clearly taken aback when she heard the word.
“Yes, I heard that city over there has developed quite well, so I thought I’d go have some fun there.” Bai Ling nodded. “Consider it payment for this time. Is that okay?”
“Since you’ve said it like that, can I refuse?” Leticia rolled her eyes. She wasn’t an ungrateful person. Bai Ling’s request was trivial compared to what she had done for her. Refusing would be unreasonable.
“So, you agree?”
“Yes, yes, I agree. But I need to finish the troublesome matters here first.”
