Chapter: Chapter 37
“What is this?” Bai Ling asked, looking at the even smaller, white plastic box that Leticia took out of the larger box.
“This is good stuff. I wouldn’t give it to just anyone who asks for it.” Leticia proudly opened the small white box. “Ta-da! Demon King Special Edition Contact Lenses!”
Floating in the white box was a small, transparent, circular piece of glass. Bai Ling could clearly sense the surge of magical energy from the lens.
This seemed to be a magical creation.
“I’ve cast a top-level ‘Dispel’ spell on it. It can penetrate all illusion magic in the world,” Leticia introduced confidently.
As the Demon King, Leticia was arguably the most powerful mage in the world, capable of destroying a city with a single move.
Her dispel spell indeed had the ability to see through all illusion magic.
“How do I put this on?” Bai Ling asked curiously.
She had never seen such a small item before and naturally didn’t know how to use it.
“I’ll help you,” Leticia volunteered. “I’m very skilled!”
Saying that, she opened a search engine and typed in a string of words: How to put on contact lenses.
Why would Leticia keep this thing stored away? Of course, it was because she didn’t know how to use it.
After trying several times and almost blinding herself, Leticia gave up on using the item alone.
Moreover, she didn’t actually need this item. Daring to use such tricks in front of her was truly courting death.
Leticia’s personality when she was the Demon King was terrible. Even now, as she recalled it, she would sigh repeatedly, lamenting how truly deranged she was back then.
However, the demon race was receptive to that kind of attitude. Demon King Leticia was considered one of the more popular Demon Kings throughout history.
“Lie down first, and open your eyes a little wider,” Leticia said to Bai Ling.
Bai Ling walked to Leticia’s bed and obediently lay down.
As for opening her eyes wider, her eyes were already large, so there wasn’t much need to widen them.
Leticia walked over, holding the box. Seeing Bai Ling lying so obediently on her bed, she suddenly felt a tickle of temptation.
No, no, she couldn’t be tempted by beauty.
Leticia took a deep breath, steadied her slightly trembling hands, and sat down by Bai Ling’s head.
“Hurry up, Xiao Ya will get suspicious,” Bai Ling urged.
“Don’t worry, it only takes a few seconds,” Leticia lied, her eyes wide open.
Picking up the small piece of glass, Leticia cautiously extended her fingers slowly towards Bai Ling’s beautiful eyes.
Only at this moment did Leticia have a chance to carefully observe Bai Ling’s eyes, these crimson pupils that could be called treasures of the world.
Bai Ling’s eyes were not an ordinary red, but like gemstones, giving a crystal-clear feeling. The red was neither too deep nor too light, complementing her perfect looks.
“Calm down, calm down,” Leticia encouraged herself internally.
“You’re a bit nervous,” Bai Ling noticed Leticia’s unusual behavior.
“Don’t talk.”
“Okay.”
Leticia slowly exhaled. She was afraid that if she made a mistake, she would leave an irreparable scar on these beautiful eyes.
Perhaps, she should ask Xue’er to do it? An idea popped into Leticia’s mind.
But she immediately dismissed it. This was between her and Bai Ling. What would it be like to ask Xue’er for help?
She was the Demon King, after all. Could a mere piece of glass really stump her?
Yes, it couldn’t stump her.
Gritting her teeth, Leticia stopped caring and pressed her hand down.
“Phew, perfect.” Successfully putting the contact lens on Bai Ling, Leticia raised her right hand and wiped her forehead.
She felt that this was more challenging than the most difficult battle she had ever experienced.
“Is it done?” Bai Ling blinked. The foreign body sensation in her right eye made her a little uncomfortable.
“Yes, it’s done. Weren’t you afraid I would accidentally injure your eyes?”
“No.” Bai Ling sat up and rubbed Leticia’s head with her hand. “I trust your confidence.”
Leticia, who should have reacted strongly to this gesture, appeared extremely docile at the moment. She lowered her head and asked in a barely audible voice, “What if my confidence isn’t worth your trust?”
“At least for now, it is,” Bai Ling did not answer Leticia’s question. “Oh, right, keep this book safe for me for now.”
She took out the “Study of Ancient Magic” that she had retrieved that morning from her clothes.
“Huh?”
“It’s just my intuition, but this book is safer with you than with me,” Bai Ling explained. She had a bad feeling about Su Qi.
“Su Qi must be a demon, capable of using such powerful magic.”
“Her appearance was too coincidental. I suspect she has something to do with this book.”
“But I am also a demon.”
“But I trust you,” Bai Ling said, looking directly at Leticia, without hesitation. “You are worthy of my trust.”
