After lying in bed for about two days, Latitia was finally allowed to get out of bed by Qian Lin.
“If you don’t let you out of bed anymore, I think you’ll just jump out of it,” Qian Lin wrote a few sentences on her portable notebook, shrugging, “but your physical condition is still a bit weak, so I recommend staying in the ward for a while longer.”
The reason for this recommendation was naturally because the magical branch was enshrined in the center of the room, continuously releasing vitality to the outside, greatly increasing the recovery speed of the two patients in the room.
Latitia even felt that she could recover to her full strength in about a week by staying here, which was much faster than usual.
“Miss Bai will still have to lie down for a while longer, but it won’t be for long,” Qian Lin instructed Latitia and then turned her gaze to Bai Ling, who was still in a mummified state. “These casts can be removed in a week at most.”
A week was already a very fast speed, considering how serious Bai Ling’s injuries were. Her entire body had countless broken bones. Recovering in just over ten days was practically a miracle.
Oh right, it truly was a miracle.
“For the past few days, two young ladies from the Hero Association have been trying to come in to see you, but I’ve turned them away…”
Before Qian Lin could finish speaking, Latitia guessed who those two girls were. It must have been the captain and Lu Siyu.
“Let them in this afternoon. I don’t think it’s a problem to meet them now,” Latitia said to Qian Lin.
The elf lady nodded, “Okay.”
After discussing some precautions, Qian Lin left the room, leaving the space to the two ladies in the room.
Realizing that she and Bai Ling were the only ones left in the room, and that Bai Ling was still unable to move in bed, Latitia’s smile suddenly became mischievous.
“Hehehe, Bai, you’ve fallen into my hands now, haven’t you?” Rubbing her hands with a grin, Latitia hopped over to Bai Ling’s side. “Are you ready?”
Bai Ling raised her eyebrows slightly, “What do you want to do?”
“What if I said I want to have you?”
“…” Bai Ling’s expression suddenly became strange. “Um, isn’t it inappropriate for me to be like this right now?”
Seeing Bai Ling’s contorted expression, Latitia’s composure was a little shaken. This was not the reaction she had hoped for.
“Can’t you act a little… um, innocent?” The demon queen gesticulated wildly. “At this point, you should be blushing and calling me a pervert or a lecher, with a sense of dying rather than yielding, understand?”
Bai Ling showed a knowing expression, “So you like it this way.”
“What do you mean I like it this way? Don’t you think your response just now was strange? Although I just saved your life, you shouldn’t act as if you’re ready for me to come at any time.” Latitia pulled a chair to Bai Ling’s bedside and said persuasively.
This made Latitia feel a lack of accomplishment.
“Is there a difference? You already know what I’m thinking, right?” Bai Ling tilted her head. The only part of her body that could move was her head. “So, have you thought about becoming my girlfriend?”
“I’m still considering it,” Latitia replied nonchalantly, crossing her legs.
“That’s good.” Not outright rejecting her, which was great progress. Latitia’s change in attitude made Bai Ling flash a brilliant smile.
Looking at her cute face made Latitia a little unhappy. She reached out and pinched Bai Ling’s soft cheek, gently rubbing it. “How can you still smile? Do you know you almost died?”
Recalling the scene at that time, Latitia still felt a lingering sense of fear. If she hadn’t reacted in time, Bai Ling would have been separated from her forever.
And now, she could still smile, which was quite infuriating.
Unable to resist, Bai Ling could only stop Latitia’s actions with her eyes. Although being pinched by Latitia’s hand felt quite good, it made it difficult for her to speak.
“I’m fine now, aren’t I?” she answered indistinctly.
Fine?
Latitia felt that their definitions of ‘fine’ might be a little off.
If an uninformed person were to take a look, they would never think that Bai Ling’s current state was fine.
Even Latitia didn’t think so.
“I can save you once, but what will you do next time you’re in danger and there’s no one like me around?”
“Are you worried about me?” Bai Ling’s eyes lit up. She heard something worth noting in Latitia’s words.
Latitia was actually not hiding her concern for her.
Wow, the sun was rising from the west!
“Yes, I’m worried that a certain someone who only thinks about hacking people won’t get herself killed someday,” Latitia said irritably. She was clearly talking about serious matters, so why did the person named Bai always associate it with other things?
Concern? Impossible.
Latitia would never care about this annoying person.
Really, she swore on her romantic luck.
“If you die, I’ll be very happy.”
“Really?” Bai Ling’s smile became even brighter. This familiar feeling, it was Latitia.
“Of course, it’s true. Then, nothing in the world can stop me. Once you die, I’ll conquer the whole world.” Latitia said, crossing her arms and humming. “Then I’ll find lots and lots of ladies and spend my days in their arms.”
” then I have to try my best to live, I can’t let my little demon queen find other girls.” Bai Ling narrowed her eyes. “Have you taken a liking to any girls yet?”
“Not yet,” Latitia rolled her eyes. “Sigh, because of someone’s reasons, my standards have been raised too high, and no one has caught my eye yet.”
Pfft, hearing this, Bai Ling couldn’t help but laugh. Wasn’t this just saying that she was currently the closest girl to being noticed?
However, since Latitia wanted to play along, Bai Ling would accompany her.
“Oh, so how high are your standards?”
“They are indeed very high. You don’t even come close to my standards yet,” Latitia said, counting on her fingers. “First of all, you have to be beautiful, with a well-proportioned figure, not too unbalanced.”
Bai Ling nodded. She met this requirement completely. There were probably not many girls in this world with a more well-proportioned figure than hers.
“Your strength cannot be too poor. I don’t want my partner to just drag me down.”
Strength? Bai Ling wasn’t worried about this at all.
She was invincible.
Latitia couldn’t even beat her.
Latitia glared fiercely at Bai Ling and continued to pinch Bai Ling’s face, saying, “You are the type that would drag me down.”
“Eh?”
“Every time I’m with you, I have to become a shield generator. I’m a main DPS, understand what a main DPS is?” said the powerful demon queen.
When Bai Ling was not present on the battlefield, Latitia was a pure output, a very violent and comprehensive magical output.
But as soon as she fought with Bai Ling, Latitia would unconsciously become Bai Ling’s shield accessory, and her own output would be completely unusable.
“Every time I fight with you, it’s like this: you deal all the damage, and I tank it all. Why?” Thinking of this, Latitia’s hands tightened their grip. She was not a tank, so why should she, a physically weak magician, tank damage for Bai Ling, a warrior?
This was simply against common sense.
Normally, shouldn’t Bai Ling the warrior tank the damage in the front, and she, the magician, hide behind and safely rack up damage?
Why was their relationship reversed?
What kind of logic was there for a magician to tank damage for a warrior?
“From now on, you tank the damage, and I’ll deal the output.”
Bai Ling looked at Latitia with narrowed eyes. It was Latitia who told her to hide behind her and output with all her might, so why was she complaining now?
Was it her fault that she couldn’t develop defensive power? No, she just didn’t have the talent in that area.
“I’m afraid you’ll ask me to hide behind you again.”
“Shut your mouth, thank you.” Even Latitia had to admit that Bai Ling had a point.
Ordinary opponents did not qualify for them to join forces against. Those who required them to join forces must be extremely powerful enemies.
To defeat such enemies, the simplest way was to let Bai Ling unleash her attacks. With high enough attack power, no opponent could not be defeated.
Without her helping Bai Ling tank damage, Bai Ling could only release her most powerful attacks, because she dared not charge them up.
But if Bai Ling was given an environment where she could safely charge her attacks, then the Sword Saint’s attacks would be terrifying.
That sword light that eclipsed the heavens and earth was just like that. With one sword, it reduced the monster to a half-crippled state. If the monster’s life form hadn’t been so peculiar, Latitia wouldn’t have had to overwork herself to completely kill it.
“Then, what’s the third requirement?”
“Still thinking about it,” Latitia said with a slight curve of her lips. “I’ll tell you when I’ve thought of it.”
“So sly.”
“Do you know what this is called? Careful consideration,” Latitia said, shaking her head.
Looking at Latitia like this, Bai Ling felt that she might have to pour a bucket of cold water on her, otherwise, this girl would really get too arrogant.
What was Latitia afraid of?
She was afraid of her sister.
“Speaking of which, if we calculate the time, Kira should be arriving soon, right?”
As expected, Latitia’s expression immediately sank. Thinking about the tragic reality she would have to face, she suddenly felt that it would be nice to just stay unconscious.
“Kira might not come in person, right? Hahaha…” Latitia laughed awkwardly. Before her laughter could even subside, a familiar aura flooded her senses.
Latitia didn’t even need to guess whose aura, so similar to her own, it was.
“You jinx,” Latitia rubbed her face, trying her best to compose herself.
This reaction made Bai Ling guess something. It seemed her words were indeed correct.
A few seconds later, the door to the ward was gently pushed open.
A girl dressed in a black dress appeared at the doorway. Standing beside her was a Qian Lin with an embarrassed expression, suggesting that Qian Lin had tried to stop her but failed.
“Qian Lin, you can go back first.” Latitia gave the Divine Seat’s physician a look.
Qian Lin scratched her head. Forget it, she shouldn’t get involved in family matters.
When she first saw this distinguished-looking young lady rushing over in a fit of rage, she thought someone had come to cause trouble.
However, upon closer inspection, she realized that this guest had some connection with one of her patients. They looked like sisters, but their relationship seemed to be quite strained.
However, out of professional courtesy, she still put on a good show, trying to tell the girl that it wasn’t visiting hours and that it would be better to visit in the afternoon.
But the girl clearly couldn’t wait. She completely bypassed Qian Lin and went straight to the door of the only ward.
“Sister, it looks like you’ve recovered quite well.” Kira walked into the room, closed the door, and cast a soundproofing spell on it. “So, have you figured out how to explain yourself?”
“Ah, explain… explain what?” Latitia’s body began to tremble slightly. Kira like this made her very scared.
Seeing her sister like this, Kira puffed out her cheeks. “What did you promise me before you left?”
“Um, the situation was special,” Latitia said guiltily, averting her eyes.
She seemed to have promised Kira before leaving that she would be careful this time. As a result, she had ended up in bed again while trying to be careful.
“Latitia got injured saving me, so blame me if you want to blame anyone!” Bai Ling quickly spoke up to help Latitia out of the predicament. She felt that it was her turn to take some of the heat for Latitia at this moment.
Kira could reprimand Latitia as a younger sister, but she couldn’t possibly reprimand her, could she?
With this thought in mind, Bai Ling felt that it was okay to help Latitia take some hits now.
However, she didn’t expect Kira to start scolding her too.
“And you, sister Bai, do you know how dangerous this was? If sister hadn’t reacted quickly, what would Little Ya do? Or do you want me to take a picture of your current state and send it to Little Ya, so she can scold you personally?”
Cold sweat broke out on Bai Ling’s forehead. If Little Ya found out, it would be a disaster; she couldn’t stand her sister’s nagging.
Casting a look of “good luck to yourself” at Latitia, Bai Ling was sent out of the battlefield by Kira’s words.
In this matter of being afraid of one’s younger sister, Latitia and Bai Ling were indeed very similar.
Secretly despising Bai Ling, whose combat power was less than five, Latitia said weakly to Kira, “I really won’t do this again in the future.”
“Sister, do you think I’ll still believe your nonsense? You managed to get yourself into this state without paying attention. This is your body, not mine, do you understand?”
“Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm.”
It seemed the sister’s reprimand of the older sister would continue for quite some time.
