Chapter: Chapter 257
By the time Leticia and her group returned to the familiar residential area, the sun had already set below the horizon, and a full moon hung high in the center of the sky, casting its bright radiance upon the earth.
“Xiao Ya must be really impatient,” Leticia stretched as she jumped out of the car. “How long are we late?”
Bai Ling, who jumped out of the car right after Leticia, glanced at her phone. “A little over an hour.”
Not too long.
“Sister! Sister Qianqian!” Xiao Ya, who had been waiting at the entrance, happily waved and ran over when she saw the girls getting out of the car.
She didn’t seem to show any dissatisfaction for being stood up for over an hour.
Bai Ling subconsciously opened her arms, wanting to welcome her rushing sister.
Xiao Ya naturally opened her arms as well, and then, she hugged Kira, who was standing next to Leticia. “Xiao Qi is here too, that’s great!”
“Pfft… Hahaha…” Seeing Bai Ling standing there like a fool, Leticia couldn’t help but laugh. Bai Ling’s expression, coupled with her current pose, was truly irresistible.
Does being ignored by your own sister feel good? Leticia almost wanted to ask.
But she only thought about it. Miss Bai’s mood probably wasn’t very good right now, and for her own safety, it was best not to “touch the tiger’s backside.”
However, even though Leticia didn’t touch the tiger’s backside, the tiger still set its sights on her. Bai Ling also felt a bit silly standing there, so to ease her embarrassment, her embrace naturally turned to Leticia.
“What are you doing!” Bai Ling’s sudden attack surprised Leticia. Before she could react, she was enveloped in Miss Bai’s soft and fragrant embrace. “Get off, get off, Xiao Ya is watching.”
“I feel awkward if I don’t hug something, just bear with it for a bit,” Bai Ling whispered in Leticia’s ear.
Why are you hugging me when you’re the one feeling awkward? Don’t you know this makes me feel awkward too? Leticia grumbled inwardly. But in action, her struggle had indeed weakened.
If Bai Ling didn’t want to let go, she couldn’t break free. If she was willing to let go, she could escape with just a little effort. Therefore, there was no need to exert too much force.
“Xiao Ya, don’t get so close…” On the other side, Kira was trying hard to push Xiao Ya away. This sudden intimacy was difficult for her to accept. “Your sister is still watching.”
“Hmph, I don’t need a sister like this.” Xiao Ya turned and glared at Bai Ling, saying unhappily.
That’s right, she was deliberately ignoring her good sister, letting this ungrateful sister ditch her to spend time alone with Sister Qianqian. Since she wanted to spend time alone so badly, then she should continue to do so.
Just consider her this sister nonexistent.
“Xiao Ya is angry, why don’t you go comfort her quickly?” Leticia patted Bai Ling’s hand, gesturing for Bai Ling to hurry and apologize to Xiao Ya.
Young girls could be coaxed easily, especially since Bai Ling was Xiao Ya’s older sister. There were no overnight grudges between sisters.
Leticia used to hang Kira from a tree and beat her severely, yet they still had a good relationship now.
“I don’t know how to comfort her,” Bai Ling replied in a low voice.
If there was one thing the Sword Saint was least skilled at, it was undoubtedly comforting her sister. While she was shameless in pursuing girls, she was completely helpless with her sister, acting like a block of wood.
“That’s your problem, go for it.” Before Bai Ling could react, Leticia slipped out of her embrace like an eel.
Then she walked between the two girls who were still entangled and “rescued” Kira.
“Kira and I will go unpack our rooms first. Xiao Ya, you can bond with your sister. Goodbye.” Smiling, she patted Xiao Ya’s fluffy little head and pulled Kira, then they quickly ran into the elevator.
Only Bai Ling and a dumbfounded Xiao Ya were left looking at each other.
What happened? Where was her Kira? Where was the big, big Kira? How did she disappear?
“Xiao Ya, let’s go home,” Bai Ling tiptoed to Xiao Ya’s side and weakly said to her sister, “You must be tired after waiting for so long.”
“Hmph.” Xiao Ya snorted a little awkwardly. “Sister knows to come back now. I almost thought I would have to tell the teacher again at this parent-teacher conference that I don’t have a guardian.”
“But it’s okay, the teacher knows about this anyway.”
“But I’m back now.” Bai Ling felt it would be better to be a bit forceful and hug her sister tightly. So she opened her arms again and embraced her sister. “I will definitely do what I promised Xiao Ya.”
“Tch, sister is such a liar.” Xiao Ya wriggled a little, but there was no significant reaction.
She was just a bit unhappy that her sister had come back at the last minute. She couldn’t possibly fall out with her sister over this. Even though this sister was very, very bad, Xiao Ya only had one sister, and she was reluctant to lose her.
Moreover, this time her sister did one good thing by bringing Sister Qianqian and Kira. This had significantly reduced Xiao Ya’s resentment.
Especially after seeing Kira, Xiao Ya even felt that it didn’t matter if her sister came back a little later.
After all, they made it on time. It was enough that she hadn’t stood her up.
“A lot of things happened, so it caused a slight delay,” Bai Ling said helplessly. If that monster hadn’t come out to cause trouble, she could have returned at least a week earlier. “Let’s not talk about that. Let’s go upstairs. Sister Qianqian and I brought you some gifts.”
“Let me guess, sister must have brought food back, right?”
Had Bai Ling’s gluttony become everyone’s consensus?
But this time, Bai Ling could proudly tell her sister with her chest puffed out that she hadn’t brought any food.
“No, I’ll tell you what it is later,” Bai Ling said mysteriously.
Xiao Ya looked at her sister with curiosity. Sister wasn’t carrying any backpacks or anything. Where would the gifts be hidden?
“The gifts are with Qianqian. It’s no use staring at me,” Bai Ling said, smiling and patting her sister’s head. She took Xiao Ya’s hand and walked towards the elevator. “Let’s go up quickly. Qianqian must be waiting impatiently.”
But Sister Qianqian wasn’t carrying any luggage either. Xiao Ya really wanted to say that, but thinking of Sister Qianqian’s identity, she felt that Sister Qianqian probably used magic to assist.
After all, her Sister Qianqian was the legendary Great Demon King.
“I didn’t expect Bai Ling to manage my room so well. It looks like it’s cleaned often,” the Demon King said happily rolling around on the soft bed in her bedroom.
This familiar feeling instantly gave her a sense of being home.
Compared to the empty and lifeless Demon King’s Palace, this small room was more comforting and relaxing for her.
Burying her head in the soft quilt and taking a deep breath, Leticia exuded a strong sense of decadence. As soon as she returned to this small room, the girl who once aimed to slack off as her life’s goal felt like she had been released from prison.
Seeing her sister quickly become decadent, a well of sweat appeared on Kira’s forehead. She walked to her sister’s side and unceremoniously grabbed her collar, pulling her up from the bed.
“Sister, have you forgotten something?”
“Ah, those luggage!” Reminded by Kira, Leticia finally remembered that her and Bai Ling’s luggage was still in Infino’s artifact space and hadn’t been taken out.
Of course, the most important of these were the gifts for Xiao Ya.
After carefully taking out a few small boxes from the space and placing them on the table, Leticia began to unpack the luggage.
The luggage essentially consisted only of clothes. Bedding and such could be found here, so there was no need to bring them. Besides, they didn’t bring those things on their trip in the first place.
“Oh no, it seems they’re all mixed together,” Leticia said with a slight headache looking at the pile of mixed clothes on the floor. “This is troublesome now.”
Outerwear and such were easy to distinguish. Bai Ling’s clothes were almost all a size larger than Leticia’s, and the same applied to their underwear.
But for other items, like panties and socks, it was difficult to tell when they were mixed together.
“These socks should be Bai Ling’s, right?” Leticia held a pair of white thigh-high socks, resting her chin as she mumbled. She probably hadn’t worn white socks before.
But it was possible Xue’er had stuffed a few pairs of white socks in the luggage, so it was hard to say.
“Sister Bai probably doesn’t have black knee-high socks. We can pick out these black ones first,” Kira squatted on the ground, taking out the identifiable intimate apparel one by one. “As for the white ones, they’ll probably have to be identified by Sister Bai herself.”
As a sister, she truly didn’t know how many clothes her sister owned.
Her sister was the Demon King, and the number of clothes she possessed could only be described as outrageous. Although she herself didn’t care about these things, she simply wore beautiful and elegant clothes every day with Xue’er’s help.
But in reality, Leticia’s daily attire was carefully chosen by Xue’er. The maid would select appropriate clothing for Leticia based on her daily schedule.
Otherwise, with Leticia’s terrible fashion sense, she might create a disaster like red and green clashing.
When Bai Ling knocked on the door with Xiao Ya, the scene they saw was truly indescribable. Leticia was meticulously examining a pair of white stockings in her hand, while Kira was seriously evaluating the pair of socks in her sister’s hand.
This sight left Xiao Ya momentarily stunned.
Even Bai Ling was taken aback. After reacting, her face turned a little red. Those socks were hers. “What are you guys doing?”
“Our clothes got mixed up. I’m trying to figure out which ones are mine and which ones are yours,” Leticia said, tossing the white silk socks onto the pile of white socks on the bed, looking speechless. “You go over there and see which white socks are yours.”
“They’re basically all mine,” Bai Ling said, scratching her head. All her socks seemed to be white, and there were quite a few of them, ranging from short to long.
“But some of mine might be mixed in. However, those black ones are probably all mine. Oh, right, I can’t tell the underwear and panties apart. You go pick out your own.” Leticia clapped her hands, completely delegating the task to Bai Ling. “Let’s give the gifts first now, Xiao Ya, you should snap out of it.”
Hearing Leticia call her name, Xiao Ya looked at Leticia as if waking from a dream. The scene just now was too bizarre, causing her brain to temporarily shut down.
“Gifts?” The little girl tilted her head.
“Yes, gifts,” Leticia took two small gifts she had picked out for Xiao Ya from the table.
Taking the two slightly heavy wooden boxes from Leticia’s hands, Xiao Ya’s face was filled with curiosity. “What’s inside?”
“They’re not expensive things, just two pretty little toys,” Leticia replied evasively. After handing over the gifts, she felt that the value of these two gifts seemed a bit too low.
They cost less than a meal combined, which felt a bit embarrassing for a Demon King.
Fortunately, when Xiao Ya opened the boxes, her suddenly brightened eyes relieved Leticia. It seemed her taste was quite good.
Cherishing the two gifts Leticia had chosen, Xiao Ya’s expression could only be described as ecstatic. “They’re so beautiful, thank you Sister Qianqian!”
Although Qianqian said these two gifts weren’t valuable, the clever Xiao Ya didn’t believe her. How could such beautiful gifts be cheap?
Qianqian said that, surely to allow her to accept these gifts without any psychological burden.
“These two gifts must be very precious, right?” Xiao Ya put on an understanding look. “Sister Qianqian is so good to me.”
“No, they’re very cheap, really,” Leticia quickly waved her hand. “Less than fifty together.”
Xiao Ya immediately showed an expression of ‘Sister Qianqian really knows how to joke’. How could such beautiful things be so cheap? Sister Qianqian wouldn’t even lie, she’s so cute.
At this moment, Bai Ling walked towards Xiao Ya, holding a slightly larger gift box, and handed the gift to her sister.
Reluctantly putting down Leticia’s gifts, Xiao Ya eagerly opened the gift from her sister, and then her expression became even more surprised.
“Is this the mascot of Seaside City? It’s so beautiful!” Holding the soft cushion, Xiao Ya’s imagination seemed to break through the sky.
“Uh, she caught it from a claw machine by the roadside, and I helped her catch it,” Leticia explained for Bai Ling.
