Chapter: Chapter 286
“So, Sister, are you saying you don’t plan to leave just like that?” When Kyra returned to Leticia’s room, Leticia told Kyra her thoughts. As Leticia had expected, Kyra was very confused about this matter.
“You could say that. My intuition tells me that staying here is the right choice,” Leticia nodded and said, “If you ask me why, I can’t say, but you understand intuition, right?”
Intuiton?
A demon lord’s intuition cannot be treated as ordinary intuition. Many times, for a super big shot like Leticia, following her intuition is the most correct choice.
Superfluous thinking is useless; your heart will tell you what the truly correct choice is.
If Leticia had faked some excuse to fool Kyra, Kyra would never have agreed with Leticia’s idea.
However, Leticia chose not to find any excuses and simply stated, “My intuition tells me I can’t leave, so I’m staying here.”
This made Kyra seriously consider her sister’s intentions. In her heart, she trusted her sister’s so-called intuition. For people like them, following intuition was actually more reliable than deep consideration.
If intuition were renamed, wouldn’t it be a flash of inspiration?
See, isn’t that much more reliable now?
“Then should I go tell Xiao Ya that I’m not leaving for now? Won’t that be a bit too awkward?” Kyra said with a conflicted expression. The atmosphere had been perfectly set, and Xiao Ya was probably going to see them off with red eyes early tomorrow morning, only for Kyra to tell her, “I was lying to you yesterday, I’m not leaving today!”
Wouldn’t that make Xiao Ya furious and want to beat her to death?
“No, my intention is to temporarily leave the central city. That mysterious deity should be lurking within the central city. After leaving the central city, I should no longer be targeted,” Leticia shook her head and explained her thoughts, “We can observe the situation from not too far outside the central city. If something really happens, we can react in time.”
Staying here was still too dangerous. She had already been targeted by that thing once. Although she didn’t know why she didn’t suffer any substantial harm, Leticia dared not gamble on her luck a second time.
So how could she guarantee her safety?
Naturally, it was to escape the deity’s range of control as soon as possible. Leticia believed that the deity was currently in a state of being unable to break free, and her range of action and ability to act must be limited.
Otherwise, would she still be awake now?
Leticia was well aware of her own strength. Among mortals, she might be unmatched. However, when facing a true deity, she should just go to sleep.
Fighting a sea monster that wasn’t even a god almost made her capsize. With this strength, she still wanted to fight a deity one-on-one? Being pragmatic, leaving early was the best plan.
“I just got the distribution of those sleeping personnel from Bai Ling. Kyra, take a look, isn’t it a bit concentrated?” Leticia opened a document that she had just obtained from Bai Ling. “In the satellite cities on the outskirts of the central city, not a single incident has occurred. And the distance of these cities from the central city is not far.”
The distance of those cities from the central city was not even as long as the diameter of the central city itself. Yet, this sleeping incident seemed to only target the central city. No anomalies appeared anywhere else at all.
Therefore, Leticia had reason to suspect that the deity’s range of activity was restricted; she could only operate within the central city.
Moreover, her strength had not fully recovered. While the current deity might be slightly stronger than her, she was not excessively stronger.
“Then, what are you planning to do now, Sister?” Kyra asked, feeling that Leticia had an idea.
Leticia nodded. Her sister truly understood her. “My plan is to leave today.”
She pointed to the satellite city closest to their current district and said resoundingly, “I can’t be sure if that guy will come looking for me again tonight. Instead of staying here, it’s better to just run away. If I’m in a normal state tomorrow morning, it means my guess is correct.”
Leticia’s thoughts were now incredibly clear, and a vague plan appeared in her mind. She felt that this time she might get some answers.
As for what questions and answers, she didn’t know.
“Okay, then we won’t pack anything here. Let’s just leave,” Kyra declared, fully trusting Leticia’s judgment. “I’ll book a hotel.”
It was still afternoon, and there was still some time before nightfall. Given Leticia and Kyra’s travel speed, they would be able to reach the small city next to the central city before dark.
There was still plenty of time, so Leticia took out her phone and called Ms. Bai. She had to inform Bai Ling that she wasn’t deserting them.
The call was answered after a few seconds. The voice on the other end sounded slightly tired, “Is there something I can help you with?”
“Nothing important, just letting you know that I’m relocating,” Leticia said in a nonchalant tone. “I plan to go to the small city next to the central city.”
“Why would you suddenly do this?” Bai Ling was a little confused. She would have understood if Leticia said she was returning to the demon world immediately, but going to a small city next to the central city?
What was the point of that?
“Actually, Kyra intended to take me directly back to the demon world. She had even told Xiao Ya about it, but my intuition told me not to leave just like that,” Leticia said frankly. She believed in her intuition, what was wrong with that?
“Intuition?” Bai Ling pondered for a moment, and then agreed with Leticia’s statement, “Are you suspecting that you were ambushed by that deity last night?”
“That’s right. Only a deity could do something like this. Fortunately, my spirit is strong, otherwise, you would have found another S-class hero sunk into slumber this morning,” Leticia even had the mood to make a small joke.
“If you also fall into slumber, then I will truly feel that we have failed,” Bai Ling was a little displeased with Leticia’s joke. Dealing with an enemy of a deity’s level was not enough for her alone.
What was this, trust in her? Leticia pouted, indicating that she really didn’t care about the trust Bai Ling showed. “You know, you must have confidence even when I’m not here. I’m only helping you this last time. After this, you’ll have to fight those deities all by yourself.”
It wasn’t that Leticia was saying it, but Bai Ling’s future prospects were actually quite worrying, because the headquarters of the God Seat was on human territory. Looking at the nature of that organization, it would eventually conflict with the human official forces.
And if a conflict arose, it would be difficult. Bai Ling was very powerful alone, but the God Seat had many divine artifacts. Just picking a few would be enough to give Bai Ling a tough time. The Sword Saint was strong, but ultimately just a mortal, and couldn’t compare to a deity.
“But, at least you’re still here for now, aren’t you?” Bai Ling sighed softly, still unwilling to accept the reality of Leticia’s imminent departure, but this was a reality she had to accept.
After Leticia leaves, when facing deities, she would truly only be able to rely on herself.
“I can only say I’ll help you as much as I can. This deity is much more bizarre than the ones we’ve encountered before. If my guess is correct, her authority is most likely dreams. Such an ability is really difficult to deal with,” Leticia held her phone and looked out the window. “Moreover, her mobility is much better than the deities we’ve encountered before. This god might be more powerful than all the enemies we’ve faced.”
Although the Mist God was strong, she had plot-killing means. Nether Leticia had persuaded her with her eloquence and avoided fighting.
As for that sea monster, it was also very strong, almost making the invincible Bai Ling capsize. But at that time, who was beside Leticia?
It was Infino in her left hand and Xi in her right, with support from the God Seat behind her – a complete golden troop. But what about now? Xi had been tricked away by the God Seat, and the ancestor had lost contact. The two most powerful cards in her hand were unusable.
And the enemy she had to face was a deity even more terrifying than the sea monster.
“Yes, it’s great that you can stay nearby to help me,” Bai Ling said with a hint of gratitude in her voice. “If we have the chance to meet again in the future, I will definitely help you if you have any difficulties.”
“You want to help me? It’s good if you don’t make things worse,” Leticia snorted. “That’s enough, I’m relocating. I’ll tell you the address when I get there.”
“Yes, goodbye.”
After hanging up the phone, Leticia put her phone back into her backpack and looked at her sister, who had already packed her luggage and was waiting by the door for her to finish. “Kyra, isn’t your packing speed a bit too fast?”
Kyra gave Leticia a speechless look. Wasn’t it Sister who was chatting too happily with Miss Bai and forgot about the time?
“It’s been almost half an hour. If I don’t finish packing soon, it’ll be a bit too slow,” Kyra said, pointing to the large bag on her back. “Besides, there aren’t many things to bring, just a few clothes.”
Kyra had no intention of staying in the human world for a long time this time. Her initial goal was to take Leticia directly back to the demon world. But Leticia had insisted on bringing her to the central city to stay for a few days.
During this time, Kyra hadn’t brought any other clothes from the demon world, so the clothes she wore were quite monotonous for the past few days.
“Ah, half an hour?” Leticia looked at the time in surprise. “I thought we only chatted for a few minutes.”
“Time is relative, is it? When you’re chatting with someone you like, the world feels like it passes by quickly, right?” Kyra complained mercilessly.
Leticia immediately rolled her eyes at Kyra. “Are your itchy ears? Believe it or not, I’ll put on that outfit and transform into a demon right away?”
But this time, Kyra wasn’t afraid at all. She crossed her arms and said confidently, “Sister, I’ve hidden that outfit.”
“You little brat, you always said you wanted the original Sister back, but now you regret it, don’t you?” Leticia rolled her eyes. She really didn’t expect Kyra to have this trait of Ye Gong. “Alright, alright, let’s hurry and go. I’ll have the maids bring my wardrobe over later.”
This time, only the two of them and one person named Akari were accompanying them on their escape. The maids Kyra brought would remain in the central city as intelligence points. After all, compared to Bai Ling’s information, Leticia trusted the intelligence gathered by her subordinates more.
Who knew if the information Bai Ling obtained was fake?
“I think Sister could leave a few items behind for Miss Bai to cherish as a memento…” Kyra muttered softly.
Before she could finish, Kyra’s head was heavily hit by an angry Leticia. “You little brat, you’re getting naughty!”
“Cough cough cough, just kidding, just kidding. Let’s hurry and go!” Kyra immediately put on a serious and earnest expression, as if she wasn’t the one who had just made a mischievous suggestion.
Her sister seemed to be getting more and more mischievous, Leticia thought helplessly. Although Kyra used to be a bit mischievous, compared to now… um, she seemed even more mischievous when she was younger?
If she wasn’t mischievous, wouldn’t she have been hung on a tree and beaten soundly?
After spending some time, the two of them left the familiar central city and arrived at a small city not far from the central city. This place lacked the technological feel of the central city, and people’s lifestyles seemed more primitive. It was completely unlike the central city.
It was hard to believe that the gap between two cities so close to each other was so vast. This place was practically like the countryside.
“This place isn’t much more developed than our demon realm,” Leticia said softly as she walked on the unfamiliar streets. “Have I lived in the central city for too long, so I feel this place is too backward?”
“Probably. Actually, this place is similar to the seaside city,” Kyra said, looking at her phone and trying to identify the road. “But the road planning and stuff, the seaside city is much better than here.”
Even with the map on her phone, she had some difficulty identifying the location of the hotel she had booked.
She had no choice but to ask a passerby for directions.
Kyra scanned her surroundings, and soon, a target appeared in her sight. It was a woman wearing a brown robe and a long white hairstyle. For some reason, when Kyra saw her, she felt that this person must be very smart.
“Excuse me, Sister, do you know where this hotel is?” So, Kyra ran up to the woman, raised her phone, and asked obediently.
