“The rifts in the world boundaries are gradually decreasing?” After a busy day, Kira immediately heard this shocking news upon returning home.
For a moment, the princess doubted if she was dreaming.
She had only been rehearsing with Ya all day, how could such a thing happen?
The implications of the rifts in the world boundaries disappearing were far more than what appeared on the surface. Once the rifts closed, the four races would no longer know what was happening in other worlds.
It would have been fine before, when no one knew of each other’s existence. If worlds couldn’t communicate, so be it. But now, it was different.
They had practically been at each other’s throats before, and now they couldn’t know what the other side was up to. Anyone would suspect that the other side might be developing their power crazily during this time.
They could only maintain a fragile balance because the four races had infiltrated each other, high-level communication channels existed, and the human race still held a nuclear bomb.
But once the connections between worlds were severed, everything could change.
No one knew what problems might arise the next time the worlds connected. Perhaps a race had developed a super-weapon, or perhaps a race had produced a “nuclear bomb” like Bai Ling. Anything was possible.
“A chain of suspicion. Even if we are willing to believe that other races have good intentions, they won’t believe us,” Leticia said helplessly. The demon race had a terrible reputation among other races, being universally disliked.
Could they expect races that had been beaten by the demon race to believe that the demons would live honestly after the worlds were sealed off?
Impossible.
Even if the elves had Evangelin’s secret support, and the humans had Bai Ling trusting her, there was still the beast race.
Furthermore, Evangelin could not openly say that she believed the demon king Leticia was a good person, and even less so Bai Ling. The personal relationship between Leticia and these two was completely useless.
“How should I put it? Isn’t this also a good opportunity?” Leticia said with a smile to her sister. “As long as the four worlds are not connected simultaneously in the future, our room for manipulation is vast.”
The demon race was confident in their ability to conquer both the elven and beast worlds simultaneously.
Without Bai Ling, the Demon King herself was a nuclear bomb on par with Bai Ling, and this nuclear bomb was even more versatile. With her in charge, the demon race’s elite legions were unstoppable.
But if all four worlds were connected at once, or if the demon realm and the human world connected first, then Leticia would be helpless. No matter how powerful she was, she couldn’t remove Bai Ling, that persistent obstacle.
Leticia’s ambitions were pinned down by this beautiful obstacle.
“Shall we head back now?” Kira asked.
“No, let’s wait for the investigation results from other areas. We have plenty of time,” Leticia said, indicating there was no need to rush. There was still a month left, enough time for Kira to finish rehearsing with Ya.
“Sister, being too confident is not good,” Kira couldn’t help but pour cold water on her sister’s confident demeanor.
“Trust your sister. I am the Demon King, after all.” Leticia spread her hands, showing an expression that said, “You should believe me.” “By the way, how’s the rehearsal going?”
Was this the time to discuss that?
Slightly exasperated by her sister’s rapid topic changes, Kira replied, “Very good, but Zi Meng’s performance is a bit off.”
Off?
“Is her performance bad?”
“No, I should say, her performance is too good.” Kira shook her head. Zi Meng didn’t have any lines yesterday, but today was different. She had almost watched many of Zi Meng’s performances from the sidelines. “Whether it’s Ya or the other students, their performances are just acting. But Zi Meng is different, she seems to be the Sleeping Beauty herself.”
Or rather, she seemed like a Sleeping Beauty playing Zi Meng.
“So, according to your opinion, Kira, there’s something wrong with this Zi Meng?” Leticia had a pensive expression. This was getting interesting.
Kira shook her head again. She just felt that Zi Meng’s performance was a bit off, not that the girl necessarily had a problem. After all, one couldn’t suspect a girl just because her performance was too good.
She was Ya’s deskmate and had sat next to Ya for so long without any issues. To suspect her because of this would be too hasty.
“Maybe she’s a girl with a secret. Don’t worry too much about it. She isn’t going to do anything to me or Ya,” Kira said, expressing her thoughts. Anyway, this Zi Meng currently had no ill intentions towards Ya. Since that was the case, why should she go out of her way?
Kira was also a bit of a trouble-avoider. This was a human matter, and as a demon, she didn’t need to get involved.
“Since you think it’s alright, Kira, then it’s alright.” Leticia stretched and propped up her legs. “Good sister, can you rub my legs for me?”
Looking at Leticia’s fair, slender legs propped up in mid-air, Kira unhesitatingly said one word: “Scram.”
“Wuwuwu, Kira, your heart is too cruel.” Leticia immediately showed a sad expression, her eyes starting to well up. “Isn’t helping sister rub her legs what a sister should do?”
Kira walked in front of Leticia, placed her hands on Leticia’s shoulders, and said word by word, “Since sister wants me to help you relax so much, then please grit your teeth.”
Looking at Kira’s gradually terrifying expression, beads of cold sweat broke out on Leticia’s forehead. She began to regret it.
But would Kira give Leticia a chance to back out?
Of course not.
Before Leticia could concede, Kira grabbed her leg. “Speaking of which, sister hasn’t exercised properly lately. Today, let’s let sister experience how I exercise every day.”
“Wait… owww!”
The girl’s shrill cry pierced through the walls, attracting the attention of the upstairs neighbors. Bai Ling, who was sitting on the sofa watching the news, looked down at her feet curiously. That sounded like Leticia’s voice.
How could she let out such a tragic sound?
Faintly, she could also hear Kira’s voice and Leticia’s pleas.
Did she… anger her sister?
After thinking for a moment, Bai Ling decided not to intervene. After all, she couldn’t deal with Kira.
She hoped Leticia would live to accompany her to sleep tonight.
…
“You look like you’re in a bit of trouble.” As night fell, when Leticia came to find Bai Ling as promised, her condition truly surprised Miss Bai.
Leticia was currently holding her waist, her face filled with an expression of lingering fear. If observed closely, one could even see that her calves were trembling slightly.
Anyone who didn’t know would think Leticia had been ravaged by something.
Uh, well, in a sense, that description wasn’t wrong.
“What do you think?” Leticia retorted unhappily. “The soundproofing in this house isn’t that good. I don’t believe you didn’t hear it.”
Kira’s “training” of Leticia lasted a full hour. After that nightmarish hour, Leticia felt like every bone in her body was aching.
It was terrifying. She would definitely never anger Kira again. Never.
“So, what did you do to make Kira angry?” Bai Ling asked with a hint of schadenfreude. Unless Leticia provoked Kira, her sister wouldn’t actively cause trouble for Leticia.
Therefore, the cause of this incident must have been Leticia.
This wasn’t because Bai Ling didn’t trust Leticia. On the contrary, it was precisely because she understood Leticia that she made such a judgment.
“Hey, what are you saying? Can’t Kira be the one causing trouble for me?” Leticia said indignantly. According to Bai Ling, was this her fault?
As an elder sister, wasn’t it normal to ask her younger sister to rub her legs? Wasn’t this something a sister should do for her elder sister?
“I don’t think Kira is that kind of person.” Miss Bai stated that compared to Leticia, Kira seemed more reliable.
This made Leticia feel very hurt. This Bai, who kept saying she liked her, unhesitatingly chose to believe Kira on this matter. How hateful.
She was angry. Leticia was truly angry.
“Then sleep with Kira tonight and don’t come looking for me!” Leticia flicked her hand, making a move to leave Bai Ling’s room.
Miss Bai had already anticipated this. Leticia was very easy to understand. As long as one understood her way of thinking, predicting her actions was quite simple.
Before Leticia could use teleportation magic to leave, Bai Ling immediately leaned close to the angry-looking girl and hugged her.
“Alright, alright, I believe you,” Bai Ling said as if coaxing a disobedient child. “It’s getting late, hurry up and go to bed.”
“I don’t believe you. Look at the time,” Leticia didn’t seem as angry as she appeared. She merely squirmed symbolically at Bai Ling’s shameless behavior, not making any drastic movements.
Perhaps this was what they called playing hard to get.
What time was it? Bai Ling actually knew. She had been checking the time while waiting for Leticia.
“It’s past ten.”
“Does anyone really go to bed this early?” Leticia retorted.
“Cough, cough, we can do some of the things we both love in bed,” Bai Ling said with a perfectly straight face, uttering a rather suggestive remark.
The meaning of this sentence, well, those who understood, understood.
At least Leticia definitely understood.
She had mentally prepared herself for Bai Ling to say such a thing, so her reaction wasn’t like that of an ordinary girl.
Generally, a purer girl’s reaction to hearing this would be bewilderment, as the words seemed to have no other meaning.
Taken literally, it was a very ordinary sentence, wasn’t it?
And girls who understood a little might reject it vehemently or yell “pervert.”
But Leticia was different. She was convinced that Bai Ling wouldn’t dare to do anything inappropriate, so she was completely unfazed.
“Our relationship isn’t quite at that level yet,” Leticia retorted with full confidence.
Both she and Bai Ling were very pure girls, completely different from the younger generation influenced by the increasingly open social trends.
Although their theoretical knowledge was extensive, their practical experience, whether for Leticia or Bai Ling, was practically non-existent.
“But I feel our relationship is already quite good,” Bai Ling said defensively. “We are friends who have faced life and death together.”
Truly friends who have faced life and death together, not fake ones.
Speaking of which, Leticia became even more speechless. “Then properly calculate how many lives you owe me?”
“One.”
“Doesn’t the time you almost killed me count?” Leticia immediately insisted that old debts should also be settled. She couldn’t simply ignore the grudge of being almost killed.
“Huh?” Miss Bai couldn’t help but poke Leticia’s bouncy, elastic cheek. “Does that time count too?”
Of course, it counts. How could Leticia forget that tragic defeat? She absolutely couldn’t forget it!
She was going to remember this matter for her entire life.
“Count it. Why wouldn’t it count? You owe me one and a half lives, you understand?” Leticia opened her mouth and bit at Bai Ling’s restless finger. Was this guy always finding ways to take advantage of her?
It was so unpleasant, so extremely unpleasant.
Of course, this obviously intentional move couldn’t catch Miss Bai. Upon sensing Leticia’s intention to bite, Bai Ling immediately retracted her hand.
Leticia didn’t feel disappointed by biting air. She didn’t expect to be able to bite the cunning Bai. It was enough to make her finger retreat.
“Alright, alright, one and a half. I owe you one and a half.” Bai Ling whispered into Leticia’s ear with a doting tone.
As the saying goes, the more you owe, the less you worry. Since she already owed a life, owing another half wasn’t a big deal, was it?
Besides, now wasn’t the time to dwell on these things, was it?
“It’s time to sleep.” Bai Ling picked up Leticia, walked step by step to her bed, and tossed the girl in her arms onto it.
“Can’t you be a bit gentler?” Leticia was a little displeased at being tossed onto the bed like that.
But her displeasure didn’t last long, because after tossing Leticia onto the bed, Bai Ling also took off her slippers and pounced onto the bed.
Looking at Miss Bai acting like a hungry tiger pouncing, Leticia immediately showed a startled expression. However, this expression only appeared for a moment before she suppressed it.
“You b*stard, don’t push your luck!”
