Chapter: Chapter 280
If Leticia said there was nothing wrong, then there was definitely something wrong. Regardless of Leticia’s state, her words were usually best understood in reverse. This was Bai Ling’s hard-earned experience.
She also had another piece of experience: if Leticia didn’t want to reveal her thoughts, no matter how much she pressed, the girl wouldn’t say anything.
The only result of doing so would be to worsen Leticia’s already bad mood, which was truly not worth the effort.
Therefore, Bai Ling wisely chose not to press further.
“I’ve already ordered lunch. See if you like it?” Bai Ling handed her phone to Leticia.
Taking Bai Ling’s phone, Leticia scanned the order and nodded.
Although it wasn’t anything exquisite, it was all food she liked. It seemed Bai Ling had put thought into it.
Thinking of this, Leticia’s mood improved slightly. She returned the phone to Bai Ling and walked towards the door of the room. “Let’s go outside, it’s a bit boring staying in the bedroom all the time.”
“Oh, okay.” Bai Ling quickly followed Leticia.
Exiting the bedroom and entering the living room, Leticia sat on the sofa and then began to order Bai Ling around. “Pour me a glass of water.”
Maids were meant to be ordered around.
Of course, there were other strange uses for them, but Leticia didn’t dare to use those yet. Even if she spoke up, Bai Ling probably wouldn’t comply.
“So, what would you like to drink? Juice or soda?” Bai Ling walked to the refrigerator, opened the door, and was immediately troubled.
She remembered Leticia liked both beverages.
“Just grab a bottle,” Leticia replied.
Then it would be juice. Bai Ling reached out and took a can of juice, then took a glass from the cupboard and poured the juice into it.
Carrying the glass of juice, Bai Ling returned to Leticia’s side. “Here, your juice.”
At this time, Leticia had already turned on the television. A popular hero-themed TV series was being broadcast. It was rumored that the Hero Association had invested in this series.
“This TV series?” Seeing the series Leticia was watching, Bai Ling suddenly showed a smug expression. “I have a cameo in it.”
“You?” Leticia’s drinking motion paused, and she cast a suspicious glance at Bai Ling before saying with full doubt.
“Do you know what a cameo is? A cameo.” Bai Ling gestured with her hands. “See this heroine? I’m her grandmother.”
“Cough, cough, cough!” Leticia couldn’t hold it in, and the juice in her mouth almost spurted out.
Fortunately, her upbringing allowed her to swallow the juice by sheer force, but the price was that she choked.
“Wow, are you okay?” Bai Ling quickly went to Leticia’s side and gently patted her back. “Is it that surprising?”
“I’m fine, I was just surprised.” Leticia quickly regained her breathing. Hearing that the heroine in the TV show was Bai Ling’s granddaughter, she couldn’t help herself. “How did you appear? Isn’t this heroine a lone wolf?”
“I took a photo…” Bai Ling’s voice grew quieter.
Good heavens, so it was a cameo appearance as a photo hanging on the wall. Leticia’s expression seamlessly shifted from surprise to speechlessness. However, in her current state, her expression didn’t change much, and Bai Ling could only vaguely discern the emotion behind Leticia’s expression.
“I feel like this is cursing you,” Leticia said to Bai Ling. “Although I don’t understand your human customs, people hanging on walls are almost always dead.”
“It’s just a TV show, it’s fine,” Bai Ling quickly said.
Just as they were about to continue discussing the topic of being hung on the wall, the doorbell suddenly rang.
Subconsciously, Bai Ling thought her takeout had arrived.
“It’s here so soon? Although it’s still a bit before lunchtime, it’s delivered this quickly. I’ll have to give them a five-star review,” Bai Ling muttered softly.
“I’ll get it.” Leticia stood up. Bai Ling had said she didn’t want others to see her in a maid outfit. Being a considerate Demon Lord, Leticia didn’t mind fulfilling her little maid’s wish.
Walking to the main door, Leticia’s initially relaxed expression suddenly became strange, and then a smile slowly appeared on her face.
However, since Leticia was facing away from Bai Ling, Bai Ling did not see this strange change in expression.
Reaching out and opening the door, Leticia saw Xiao Ya and the other two carrying large bags.
“Qianqian jie… Qianqian jie?!” Xiao Ya originally intended to greet Leticia, but the moment she saw Leticia, she seemed to lose the ability to speak and stammered incoherently.
Leticia’s presence today was indeed quite impactful.
Although Xiao Ya had seen Leticia in her Demon Lord state before, she had watched from afar, secretly observing Leticia scolding someone. When Leticia interacted with her, she was in her usual state.
But now, Leticia was in her Demon Lord state, a complete Demon Lord state.
“Sister, why are you wearing this outfit?” Even Qira showed a surprised expression. She wasn’t surprised by Leticia’s change in state, as in her eyes, her older sister was a super actor whose expression changed like drinking water. “I remember you have psychological trauma related to these clothes, right?”
“It’s just an exchange. Come in first. Don’t look too surprised later.” Leticia’s smile was now completely visible. She grabbed Xiao Ya’s hand and walked into the room, calling out as she went, “Bai Ling, guess who’s here? It’s your sister, Xiao Ya.”
“Huh? Sister is here too?” Xiao Ya was stunned when she heard Leticia, then looked up, and her gaze instantly froze.
In her eyes, her usually cool and serious sister was wearing a maid outfit. Although this maid outfit wasn’t very revealing, it was still a maid outfit!
Why was her sister wearing a maid outfit at Qianqian jie’s house?
Was this some kind of role-playing game?
“Xiao Ya?!” Because Leticia had used a small trick to block the sound at the door, Bai Ling only realized her sister had already entered the room at this moment.
And her wearing the maid outfit had been seen by her sister.
What to do?
What else could she do?
She couldn’t just pick up a sword and smash it over her sister’s head, hoping to make her forget?
“So, why is Sister wearing this kind of outfit?” Xiao Ya stammered, her small brain filling with all sorts of strange imaginations.
For example, Qianqian jie pinning her sister down and saying with a sinister grin, “You wouldn’t want to lose this job, would you?”
Or Qianqian jie domineeringly pinning her sister against the wall with a defiant smile, “Woman, I’ve taken a liking to you.”
After all, Qianqian jie was dressed like a young lady today, and between a young lady and a maid, sparks often flew, didn’t they?
Of course, Xiao Ya knew that Leticia wasn’t dressed like a young lady; she was the greatest young lady in the world. A Demon Lord was just a noble young lady, after all.
“She wanted to see me wear it yesterday, so we made a deal,” Bai Ling glared at Leticia and unhesitatingly revealed the transaction between them. “She slept with me, and I wore a maid outfit and played with her all day.”
Leticia, who never expected Bai Ling to reveal this, showed a moment of shame and indignation. “Nonsense.”
“Sister, is this true?” Qira walked up to Leticia and asked softly.
If it were usual times, facing her sister’s questioning, Leticia might have started stammering and not known how to answer, but today’s Leticia was different. She was the ruthless sister who had hung her sister from a tree and whipped her.
With just a look, Leticia made Qira shut up.
My goodness, this familiar feeling. Qira’s mind was immediately filled with a flood of dark memories, the most significant of which was the punishment she would never forget in her life.
That time, when her sister was whipping her, she had this same look.
“Strange, why is she back to normal today?” Qira muttered softly and scurried away from Leticia. In comparison, she felt that her lazy sister was so likable.
At least she could communicate happily with that kind of sister without being so terrified as she was now.
“Can’t you admit what you agreed to?” Bai Ling had given up on herself. Since her maid outfit had already been seen by her sister’s friends, Leticia shouldn’t have it easy either.
She had to drag someone down with her.
“This fellow,” Leticia gritted her teeth, squeezing out a gloomy voice. “Then, my maid, please go prepare some water and snacks for our guests.”
“Uh, no need, we bought some things,” Xiao Ya tried to help her sister out of the predicament.
But with another look from Leticia, Xiao Ya also became afraid to speak.
My goodness, this Qianqian jie is so scary. Is this the pressure of a Demon Lord?
“Alright, please wait a moment, guests.” Bai Ling glared at Leticia and walked towards the kitchen.
During this time, the three girls huddled together and began to discuss.
“Wow, Qianqian jie feels so different today.” Xiao Ya nervously glanced at Leticia, afraid that Leticia would suddenly appear behind her and deliver a righteous punishment.
Qira, on the other hand, stated that this was the normal sister. “Xiao Ya, you don’t need to be afraid. Sister won’t do anything to you.”
But she might do something to her. Qira didn’t dare to bet whether this normal sister would repeat the actions from a few years ago.
“Miss Qianqian, she’s so elegant.” Zi Meng didn’t think so much. She simply felt that today’s Leticia was much more elegant than the days she had seen her before.
Such a Miss Qianqian made her have the illusion that perhaps she was an empress.
Completely different from the approachable girl next door, Leticia. If Qira and Xiao Ya hadn’t confirmed it, Zi Meng wouldn’t have believed it was the same girl she had met.
“Yes, she could clearly be a goddess, but she’d rather fall into the mortal world and become an internet addict,” Qira said with a helpless shrug. “But I feel like the internet addict is a little better. Is that an illusion?”
Xiao Ya shook her head vigorously. “It’s not an illusion. Although this Qianqian jie gives people a very reliable feeling, she also makes people feel super unapproachable. Was the former Qianqian jie like this?”
“Sort of, but she seemed colder before. She’s melted quite a bit now.” Qira glanced at her sister again, then quickly retracted her gaze. “So, can’t Sister find a middle ground? Why has she become two extremes?”
A weak Leticia who wasn’t addicted to the internet would be perfect.
“Yes, yes.” Xiao Ya nodded repeatedly.
However, among the three girls, one person didn’t think so, and that was Miss Zi Meng.
She looked at Leticia, her eyes shining with worship and longing. This naturally displayed aura was exactly what she dreamed of.
Which girl could refuse to become like a princess?
Zi Meng certainly couldn’t.
“…You too…” In a daze, she seemed to hear a voice in her ear.
But when she concentrated to hear more clearly, the voice disappeared without a trace.
This again? Zi Meng rubbed her forehead with some distress. Her mental state seemed to be getting worse lately; she often heard illusory sounds.
Was she not getting enough sleep? Perhaps.
Recently, Zi Meng felt that she wasn’t sleeping well at all. After waking up, instead of feeling relaxed, she felt more tired than before sleeping.
Or rather, her body had rested well, but her mind was not.
“Xiao Meng, Xiao Meng! What are you thinking about?” Noticing her friend had zoned out, Xiao Ya waved her hand in front of Zi Meng’s eyes.
Zi Meng’s pupils contracted. She had zoned out at this time?
“I’m thinking about when I can be as elegant as Miss Qianqian.” She voiced her thoughts and sighed. “Don’t you think this is very charming?”
Charming? Qira and Xiao Ya exchanged glances. What she said wasn’t wrong; the current Leticia was indeed very charming.
But still, they preferred the approachable Leticia.
Having such a serious girl sitting next to them really made them afraid to speak.
Even Qira, who desperately wished for her former sister to return, felt this way.
