Chapter: Chapter 48
“There is no need for it for now.” Bai Ling shook her head. If that demon was just an ordinary demon, she could have easily erased her from this world, but she was not.
She was Kyra, Princess of the Demon Realm, and Leticia’s own sister.
“Because of Xiaoya?”
“Xiaoya has finally made a friend. If I were to kill her, Xiaoya would be very sad.” This was indeed a good reason, and Bai Ling picked it up naturally.
Not wanting her sister to be sad, this reason was so logical, and it also fit Bai Ling’s doting-sister persona.
Leticia naturally did not suspect anything. Her maintaining this superficial peace with Bai Ling was also because of Bai Ya’s existence.
Neither of them wanted to make Bai Ya unhappy. For Bai Ya, these two mortal enemies could only curse each other in their hearts, or engage in a great battle of three hundred rounds in their dreams.
Oh, right, this was Leticia’s idea. As for what Bai Ling was thinking, who knew?
In any case, Leticia had not yet figured out what this Bai Ling was thinking. This girl, whose actions could hardly be judged by common sense, gave Leticia a considerable headache.
“Since you’ve asked what you wanted to ask, why aren’t you leaving yet?” Leticia decided to get rid of her first.
Bai Ling refused. She pointed to the large hole in her clothes at the chest and said, “I’ll go back after Su Qi leaves.”
“You still know to be shy?”
“I’ve always known to be shy.” The girl realized that Leticia’s perception of her seemed to have deviated slightly. “I still have common sense.”
“I can’t see that. Can a person with common sense run naked into the bathroom of a girl who is taking a bath?” The scene that day was still vivid in her memory, making it impossible for Leticia to agree with Bai Ling’s words.
She, Bai Ling, the Star River Sword Saint of humanity, had teleported into the bathroom naked while the Demon King was bathing. Was this a display of common sense?
“You are different.”
“I am indeed different, but clearly, my difference should be a bad kind of difference, right?” Leticia walked up to Bai Ling and poked her forehead fiercely with her finger. “Weren’t we enemies who fought to the death before? I still don’t understand what you’re thinking.”
“Actually, you know, and you know very clearly, don’t you?” Bai Ling did not answer Leticia’s question. “To add some fun to my boring life.”
“No, this is not your true thought.” Bai Ling’s explanation did not convince Leticia. She shook her head and expressed her opinion. “You are more like someone who has met someone who can understand you and stand at the same height as you.”
“Forget it, let’s not talk about this. You wanted to ask me why I came to you just now, right?”
“Yes, it’s rare for you to look for me.” Seeing that Leticia did not press further, Bai Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If Leticia had insisted on asking, she would not have been able to provide an answer.
Because she herself didn’t know the answer.
She didn’t know why she had a natural good feeling towards Leticia, but this good feeling truly existed, and she didn’t know its source.
The first time they met, she had already had this feeling vaguely, and during their meeting a few days ago, that strange feeling had become even stronger.
Bai Ling didn’t know why, but she knew that now that she had shed her heavy responsibilities, she could follow the feelings in her heart.
“The guild leader fell and was hospitalized these past few days, so I thought I’d visit her, but she didn’t tell me which hospital she was in.” Leticia began to explain the whole story. “We agreed to meet at the shopping street on Wednesday, and the guild leader asked me to bring you along.”
“You agreed? How strange.” In Bai Ling’s impression, Leticia should have refused directly.
Unless, the guild leader had given a condition that Leticia couldn’t refuse.
“Cough, cough, don’t look at me like that. Am I that kind of person?” Leticia got defensive when she noticed Bai Ling’s expression. “I can’t just…”
No, she really couldn’t have agreed willingly.
Wouldn’t that be admitting guilt?
She, Leticia, had always emphasized how bad her relationship with Bai Ling was. So easily agreeing to the guild leader’s request was like slapping herself in the face.
Therefore, she must have been bought.
“Alright, I am indeed that kind of person.” Leticia had a disgusted look on her face, as if she had eaten something unpleasant. “A gold-skinned one, and a gacha-pulling one at that.”
“Oh? Is that all I’m worth?” Bai Ling gave a smile of unknown meaning. “In that case, I can also spend this much for you.”
Yes, Bai Ling had plenty of money. If they were to calculate the amount of the transaction between the guild leader and Leticia, Bai Ling could completely support Leticia for life.
“Heh, I agreed to the guild leader because I have a good relationship with her.” Faced with Bai Ling’s lavish behavior, Leticia indicated that she wasn’t swayed by just any bribe. Only those she had a good relationship with were qualified to make deals with her.
“It seems our relationship isn’t bad either.”
“Is your understanding flawed?”
“We’ve made a transaction before, haven’t we?” Bai Ling tilted her head, asking in confusion. “Right, I took a look at that game recently too. The new banner will be released next Thursday. Remember to come find me to pull cards.”
Had Bai Ling not mentioned it, Leticia would not have realized that she had already made a transaction with Bai Ling.
Annoyed, she lightly hit her own head and weakly retorted, “That time… was different.”
It was because Bai Ling had given so much, a fully equipped character, costing over ten thousand yuan!
The former Demon King now had to bow down for ten thousand yuan, which was truly emotion-stirring.
“You’re really tight-lipped.” Bai Ling had no intention of giving Leticia any face.
Leticia found the evaluation of “tight-lipped” unacceptable. “I…”
But she couldn’t argue, because even she knew very well that her habit of being tight-lipped was unchangeable.
In the past, as the king of the demon race, she could not admit her mistakes. The Demon King would never make mistakes.
Even if she was wrong, it was the subordinate’s fault.
For more than ten years, Leticia had maintained this habit. Her tight-lippedness was already subconscious. Making her clearly express her intentions was as difficult as ascending to heaven.
“Scram, scram, scram, get lost. I don’t want to see you.” Having lost the verbal battle, Leticia flipped the table. She turned Bai Ling, who was facing her, around and pushed the girl towards the door.
She was trying to kick her out.
“Not yet.” Bai Ling immediately stabilized her stance. The seemingly delicate girl was now more stable than a mountain. “Su Qi hasn’t left yet. I still have to stay here for a while longer.”
