Chapter: Chapter 403
The exchange with the High Priest was not without its challenges. The old dog-headed man, with wisdom shining in his eyes, quickly made his decision, announcing that their tribe warmly welcomed the arrival of the two guests.
“Of course, I could tell from his eyes that he didn’t completely believe what I said,” Letyia said to Bai Ling as they followed Silver Fang to the clearing.
As the saying goes, old ginger is spicier. The High Priest, with his long white beard, had seen and experienced too much. Would he easily believe Letyia’s baseless claims? Obviously not.
However, seeing through it but not exposing it meant they could still be friends. Bai Ling’s combat prowess was the most convincing argument. The High Priest, after weighing his options, likely had to temporarily lower his head and choose to overlook some doubts.
“Are you planning to stay here for good?” Bai Ling asked, not bothering to lower her voice since she knew Silver Fang couldn’t understand them. “Until your good friend comes to pick us up?”
“What else? Are we supposed to run around here randomly? I’ve never been to the Beastmen’s territory, and you, you should also… oh, right, you have been.” Letyia remembered Bai Ling’s previous feat; this lady had visited the Beastmen’s world at least once.
That one time, she had directly cleaved the then-leader of the Beastmen in half with a single sword strike.
Lying on Bai Ling’s back with a helpless expression, Letyia’s voice drifted, “I discussed world-hopping with Yin before. She concluded that she wouldn’t be able to traverse between worlds for another six months. That means we’ll have to stay here for at least half a year.”
“Then let’s treat it as a six-month long vacation. It’s not all bad, is it?” Bai Ling didn’t find it too unpleasant. Being able to spend half a year with Letyia, just the two of them, she couldn’t be happier!
Miss Bai was happy, but Letyia wasn’t exactly thrilled. Although there was a beautiful, fragrant, and soft girl beside her, her phone was completely useless!
Without the internet, life was unbearable!
Letyia wanted to play games, she wanted to get close to her paper wives!
A real-life wife? What is that, is it as good-looking as a paper wife?
…Actually, there might be.
Cough, cough, but that’s not the point. The point is that Letyia couldn’t play games anymore, which, for her, a shut-in girl wearing the skin of a Demon King, was no different from being tortured by a thousand cuts!
But what could be done? It was already like this. Even if she stuck fine needles into Silver Cat’s figurine every day, nothing would change.
“Yes, yes, yes, you’ve hit the jackpot by being able to stay with me.” Letyia playfully punched Bai Ling’s head with her fist. “You’ll build a house later, understand?”
“I don’t know how.” Bai Ling immediately and frankly stated that she was completely incapable of such technical work.
What else could be done? Letyia was still an invalid, at least she had to pretend to be one. She couldn’t suddenly sit up from her deathbed and conjure a luxurious villa with a magic staff, could she?
A luxurious villa could be built, but it had to be done slowly, step by step, so as not to alarm these sensitive beastmen.
“Fortunately, there are still some wild survival supplies in the divine artifact space. We’ll have to rely on a tent for one day, and we’ll talk about the house tomorrow.” Letyia rummaged through the divine artifact space and was pleasantly surprised to find some usable supplies.
She remembered that she hadn’t put these things into the divine artifact space herself. Does that mean they were all prepared by Kira?
So why would Kira prepare these things here?
How strange.
But for Letyia, this was great news. At least she wouldn’t have to sleep under the open sky tonight.
“How many tents?”
“One. Do you want more?” Letyia replied with narrowed eyes. In fact, there was more than one tent in the divine artifact space, but in the current situation, it was better to use them sparingly.
If they squeezed together, two girls could easily fit into such a large tent.
“It’s fine, I was just asking.” Bai Ling’s eyes suddenly lit up with joy. This was absolutely a world for two!
Not long after, Silver Fang led the two to a cleared open space. Not far from the clearing were several simple-looking thatched huts, which seemed to be where ordinary beastmen lived.
Hearing the commotion outside, several beastmen heads peeked out from the thatched huts. They spoke in a language that Letyia couldn’t understand, probably some kind of dialect.
Silver Fang replied a few words, and the beastmen quickly retreated back into their houses. Perhaps Silver Fang had explained the situation.
“Everyone here has a pretty good temper. If anything unexpected happens, you can come directly to the temple to find me.” After showing them the plot of land allocated to Letyia and Bai Ling, Silver Fang said to them, “I still have things to do, so I won’t accompany you two any longer.”
“Mm-hmm, as long as others don’t provoke us, we definitely won’t provoke trouble. Don’t worry.” Letyia carefully jumped down from Bai Ling’s back and walked a few steps on the newly acquired land, nodding with satisfaction. “Except for the strange smell, it’s not bad.”
Beastmen generally had a strong body odor. A lot of physical activity and harsh living conditions meant that these beastmen paid almost no attention to personal hygiene, and bathing was considered a luxury.
A kitten like Victoria, who smelled fragrant, was truly a treasure among beastmen. Most beastmen actually smelled bad.
Even Silver Fang, who looked quite human-like, carried a strange smell. Not to mention the ordinary beastmen who were closer to wild beasts, their smell was simply… invigorating.
“Ah, the smell is strange? I think it’s quite good.” Silver Fang instinctively sniffed her nose but didn’t detect anything unusual.
“Perhaps our judgment of smell is different. It’s a minor issue. At worst, we can draw a purification array around the house later.” Letyia sighed, covering her head in frustration. She suddenly missedCentral City. Compared to this place, even the Demon King’s Castle felt like paradise.
Indeed, there was no harm without comparison. If a girl like Silver Fang were to visit Central City or the Demon King’s Castle, her worldview would likely collapse.
“How do we set up this tent?” While Letyia and Silver Fang were discussing the smell, Bai Ling had already started setting up the tent, but she seemed to have encountered a small problem.
“You’re encountering trouble even with instructions?” Since Bai Ling was having trouble, Letyia had no choice but to interrupt her conversation with Silver Fang and come to Bai Ling’s side to see what trouble Miss Bai was in.
“I can’t quite understand this instruction manual…” Bai Ling said, a bit embarrassed. As a Sword Saint, she couldn’t even set up a tent properly. She would surely die of embarrassment if this got out.
Taking the instruction manual from Bai Ling’s hand, Letyia flipped through it and ran through the setup process in her mind. Then, she was astonished. Such a simple, user-friendly setup process, and Bai Ling could still have trouble?
Wasn’t this a bit too incredible?
“If you just used your brain a little more for proper things, you wouldn’t run into this problem.” Letyia rolled the instruction manual into a small stick and good-naturedly hit Miss Bai’s smart little head.
Facing Letyia’s knock, Bai Ling could only cover her head aggrievedly, her eyes shimmering with watery light, making one’s heart soften.
This girl was becoming more and more proficient at acting cute, Letyia sighed inwardly. Such an icy beauty had completely melted.
However, it was still pretty good. A watery beauty was much more comfortable to get along with than an icy beauty.
Letyia would never like someone who was cold and had a deathly pale face all the time.
“First like this, then like this. Yes, be gentle with your hands. These things aren’t good enough yet to withstand your strength.” After hitting Bai Ling, Letyia began to guide Miss Bai in setting up the tent.
With the help of Letyia’s external brain, Bai Ling quickly set up the tent.
Thanks to Kira, the tent she bought was very large, so large that two girls could fit without feeling crowded. It was as if she had chosen a large size when buying it.
“It feels good. It seems Kira put a lot of effort into preparing these things.” After Bai Ling had everything arranged, Letyia peeked into the tent and nodded with satisfaction.
It was a very cozy little nest. It would be fine to live in for a few days.
In a few days, she could find a way to magically create a luxurious villa here.
“Mm, we’re sleeping together again tonight. Speaking of which, did you bring pajamas?” Bai Ling was even more satisfied with the tent. See, it gave them a reason to share a bed!
Hearing the question, Letyia raised her hand and poked Bai Ling’s forehead. She actually asked such a question. The water in this girl’s head really needed to be drained. “Do you think I would bring pajamas in this situation?”
Bai Ling covered her forehead, her face full of aggrieved defense. “You could even pull out a tent, so pulling out a set of pajamas should be very simple, right?”
Hiss, this guy makes a lot of sense. Letyia suddenly felt that if she rummaged through the divine artifact space a bit more, she might actually find pajamas.
It didn’t have to be her own pajamas. Kira’s pajamas were about the same size as hers. Using her sister’s pajamas wouldn’t be a problem.
With that thought, Letyia started rummaging through the divine artifact space again. This time, she spent even more time than before, and during this period, she also pulled out a pile of canned foods. It seemed Kira was indeed well-prepared.
The emergency food that Letyia found alone was enough to sustain her for a month.
Of course, if Bai Ling, the big eater, was included, these foods would last for three to four days at best. It couldn’t be helped, Miss Bai’s appetite was simply unreasonable.
After a long time, Letyia, with a speechless expression, pulled out a set of unopened white pajamas from the divine artifact space. She didn’t expect Kira to have actually prepared pajamas.
Did that brat treat the divine artifact space as a warehouse? Shouldn’t the ancestors care?
Uh, but on second thought, the places where Kira stored things seemed to be on the edges of the divine artifact space, and the ancestors couldn’t see those places. Perhaps occupying some space wasn’t a big problem?
Letyia even wanted to find her ancestors and ask if they had any new clothes to wear. It was highly likely they did, right?
“I need to find a way to take a bath.” With pajamas to change into, Letyia’s mind began to have other thoughts, such as taking a bath.
Look at what she had gone through today. She had fought all day. First, she fought robots, then she was chased and beaten by the Crystal Lotus, and her stomach was cut open with a large gash, blood gushing out.
Look at her small dress. How exquisite it was originally. Now it was stained black and gray. Wearing it, Letyia looked like a little beggar. It was too ungraceful.
Who would like to wear dirty clothes? Anyway, Letyia didn’t.
“There should be a water source nearby. We can go there to wash up.” Bai Ling, who had already opened a can and started eating, offered her opinion. Such a large tribe must have a water source nearby. If they asked someone, they should be able to find the location of the water source. “However, it will probably only be a simple washing.”
There were no conditions here for Letyia to enjoy a comfortable bath. Perhaps it could be done later, but not now.
“I know, do I look like a spoiled and unreasonable young lady?” Letyia glared at Bai Ling. “What are you eating that smells so good? Give me some too.”
“Braised pork can. It tastes very good.” Seeing Letyia approaching, Bai Ling used the matching disposable tableware to scoop up a piece of meat with suitable fat and lean parts and brought it to Letyia’s mouth. “Open your mouth, ah…”
“Awu.” This time, Letyia did not refuse Bai Ling’s feeding, perhaps because she had not eaten for a long time and was indeed hungry. “It tastes really good. We can buy a few more cans and store them.”
“We’ll have to go back first.”
“What kind of people are we? Will we not go back? I don’t want to cause trouble now. If I wanted to cause trouble, do you believe I could turn this mere Beastmen tribe upside down in these six months?” Letyia said with her chest puffed out and a disdainful expression. With the state of the Beastmen tribe, could she, the dignified Demon King, not handle them?
If she were willing to lower her pride and actively cause trouble, she wouldn’t even need a few years to make the entire beastmen world change its surname to Infernal!
What is the composure of a Demon King? This is the composure of a Demon King!
