“You, you have this kind of preference?” Bai Ling looked coldly at Leticia’s small hand, which didn’t know where to place itself, and after a moment of silence, asked.
Bai Ling’s appearance at this particular time and place was incredibly unfortunate, happening precisely when Leticia couldn’t retract her power. Fortunately, Leticia still had some semblance of rationality and didn’t strike with full force.
Otherwise, Bai Ling’s chest might have been flattened.
Ah, yes, that’s right, Leticia’s hand struck Bai Ling’s not-so-large breasts precisely.
Not only did it hit, but the magic attached to her palm also rapidly corroded Bai Ling’s clothes, leaving Bai Ling’s current attire quite… revealing.
“It was an accident, a complete accident! Who told you to just barge into my home?” Leticia defended herself, feigning composure.
It wasn’t her fault, okay? If Bai Ling hadn’t suddenly teleported in, that slap would have landed squarely on that foolish girl.
Xue’er sighed helplessly. The moment Bai Ling appeared, she ran behind Emily and delivered a chop to the back of her head, precisely hitting the spot and knocking the girl unconscious.
“Your Majesty, shall I dispose of her?” Seeing that she wouldn’t be able to get any information today, Xue’er asked Leticia what to do with the young girl.
After all, she was one of their own. They couldn’t just kill her to silence her, right? Xue’er didn’t want to kill such a good girl who was loyal to the demon race.
“Speaking of which, who is she?” Bai Ling turned to look at the unconscious Emily, who was tilting her head. This was also a demon, so why was she tied to a chair by Leticia and Xue’er?
Moreover, judging by the situation just now, Leticia seemed to intend to punish this girl.
“A little thief who broke in. I suspect my sister knows I’m here, so I’ve captured her to interrogate her on your behalf.” Leticia explained with a displeased expression. “I went to your house to find you earlier, but you weren’t home. I ran into her on the way back.”
“You were looking for me?” Bai Ling didn’t react much to the fact that someone had broken into her house; instead, she became interested in another remark made by Leticia.
Leticia rolled her eyes. Was this the time to care about such things?
“Shouldn’t you be concerned about why this person sneaked into your house while you were away? Your kitchen was completely ransacked by her.”
“So, I came to find you,” Bai Ling stated, indicating that she had come precisely for this matter. “I have a rough idea of who is behind this person, but…” she wasn’t sure if this person had come for her or for Leticia.
“Xiao Ya, her friend Su Qi, and I went out for dinner today. As soon as we left, this incident happened. It’s likely she’s behind it,” Bai Ling revealed her suspicion.
It was probably aimed at her, as Leticia hadn’t shown herself at all, whereas she and Su Qi had had close contact.
Su Qi’s attitude towards her was also quite strange; she seemed very afraid, but there was also a hint of curiosity. In such a situation, it was only natural for her to send someone to discreetly investigate her.
“That demon?” Leticia raised an eyebrow. “That makes sense. So, she wasn’t looking for me?”
“The number of people who know you’re hiding here is likely fewer than those who know my true identity. I haven’t revealed myself, and you certainly haven’t,” Bai Ling nodded, although Leticia was only one step away from exposure.
That lovely Miss Su Qi was still upstairs with Xiao Ya, cleaning up the messy kitchen.
“Then it’s nothing. Xue’er, throw this thing away. Throw it far away,” Leticia said to Xue’er with a wave of her hand, signaling the maid to get rid of Emily.
“Yes.” Xue’er untied the ropes and then slung the not-so-small Emily over her shoulder. “I’ll be going now.”
“Go and come back quickly.”
“Understood.”
Xue’er leaped through the living room window and out into the thick night.
As Leticia’s close attendant, flight was naturally her forte.
“However, since that demon has already become a threat to you, why don’t you just get rid of her?” Xue’er asked Bai Ling after she left. Wasn’t this guy the type to draw her sword and charge at any foreign race she encountered? Had she changed her ways?
It was understandable that Bai Ling didn’t attack herself. After all, even though she couldn’t defeat Bai Ling, it would still be difficult for Bai Ling to kill her.
If a fight broke out here, the entire Central City would be reduced to ruins. Bai Ling wouldn’t dare to take that risk, which was why Leticia dared to live so close to Bai Ling.
Of course, if Bai Ling truly disregarded the consequences, Leticia would indeed have no escape. Therefore, Leticia had always tried her best to comply with Bai Ling’s wishes and avoid direct conflict as much as possible.
A fragile balance was maintained between the two of them.
But this relationship was built on strength. Leticia couldn’t understand why Bai Ling was so restrained when facing a foreign race that she could easily kill.
