Chapter: Chapter 52
“Sister, where on earth did you go? It’s already almost 10:30 and you’re back.” When Bai Ling returned from downstairs, she was first met with her sister’s questioning.
Bai Ling tightened the long robe she was wearing and said in a calm tone, “I went to catch a thief.”
“Ah?” Bai Ya was stunned. She never expected her sister to come up with such a reason.
But this reason was surprisingly convincing. Bai Ling was the type of person who would do such a thing.
Acting impulsively if displeased was very much in line with Bai Ya’s impression of her sister.
“Did you find them then?”
“I found them, but I didn’t get anything out of them.” Bai Ling shook her head. She wasn’t lying; she did see the little thief, but the moment she appeared, the thief was knocked unconscious by Xue’er.
“Is that so?” Bai Ya breathed a sigh of relief. “Is our public security that bad to have such a detestable thief?”
This wasn’t an issue of public security being good or bad. The main responsibility lay with Bai Ya’s good friend.
“Where is Su Qi?” Bai Ling asked about the situation of the culprit.
“Has Sister Bai Ling returned?” Hearing her name being called, Su Qi immediately poked her head out from Bai Ya’s room.
Bai Ling gave Su Qi a meaningful glance and said, “Mm, you two go take a bath first, I’m going back to my room.”
After being glanced at by Bai Ling’s deathly gaze, Su Qi felt as if her soul was about to fly out of her body. She almost thought she was finished.
This woman is so powerful.
Fortunately, Bai Ya was here to act as her shield. Otherwise, she might have been killed on the spot by Bai Ling just now.
Amidst the fright, Su Qi was also filled with doubt. Although her strength couldn’t compare to her sister’s, she was still considered outstanding in the demon realm. Why did she feel that Bai Ling was unbeatable?
She had only felt this way about one person, and that was her sister, the monarch of the demon realm, Letitia.
There was no way this Bai Ling was on the same level as her sister, right?
In the human world, the only one on the same level as her sister was the Star River Sword Saint. Su Qi couldn’t believe her luck would be so bad as to have the sister of the Star River Sword Saint be the first good friend she met in the human world.
“Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi, don’t space out. You go take a bath first.” Bai Ya pulled Su Qi to the bathroom door. “You can take a bath if you want too.”
“Ah…” Su Qi’s expression was a little forced. Such enthusiasm was a bit too much for her to handle. “I’ll just wash up quickly. Xiao Ya, you go back and rest, no need to worry about me.”
“Mm-hmm.”
…
Deep into the night, all was quiet.
Su Qi lay on the somewhat narrow bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.
It was already 2 AM, but Su Qi had no intention of sleeping.
There were two reasons. One was that she was worried Bai Ling would suddenly pop out and stab her after she fell asleep. The other was that the sleeping posture of the girl next to her was absurd.
At first, Bai Ya was quite well-behaved, staying on her side of the bed and not bothering Su Qi. However, once Bai Ya fell into a deep sleep, everything changed.
The girl gradually moved towards Su Qi, little by little. By the time Su Qi realized what was happening, Bai Ya was already clinging to her like an octopus.
This experience made Su Qi incredibly nostalgic. When she slept with her sister in the past, her sleeping sister was even more absurd than Bai Ya.
Su Qi still hadn’t figured out how someone could invert their body completely while another person was sleeping next to them.
Yes, this was Letitia’s sleeping posture from a few years ago, and it was the sleeping posture of the cold and ruthless Letitia.
Only then could Su Qi feel that her sister was still a young girl, a living being.
*Click*. A soft sound could be heard. Su Qi looked curiously towards the bedroom door, wondering who had opened the bedroom door.
Obviously, it wouldn’t be anyone other than Bai Ling.
The white-haired girl, wearing pajamas, tiptoed into the room. She went to Bai Ya’s side and leaned down to observe her closely. After confirming that her sister had fallen soundly asleep, she looked at Su Qi, who was sweating profusely.
“Don’t be afraid, I just want to have a chat with you.” Bai Ling lowered her voice and said to Su Qi.
“Now? Here?” Su Qi found Bai Ling’s thought process incomprehensible. Is this the right place and time to chat?
Please, big sister, it’s 2 AM, and your sister is hanging on me. Are you sure you want to talk to me now?
“Is there a problem?”
Everything is a problem! Su Qi wanted to shout, but under Bai Ling’s oppressive gaze, she swallowed her words back.
“There are no problems, please speak.” Su Qi suppressed her desire to complain and yielded to Bai Ling’s tyranny.
“That thief, you sent them, didn’t you?” Bai Ling asked directly.
Su Qi’s pupils contracted. It was indeed about this matter.
“Sister Bai Ling is joking. I’m just an ordinary high school girl.” Deny it, absolutely deny it.
“Probably only the part about being a girl is true in your previous response,” Bai Ling said coldly. “It’s fine if you don’t admit it, as we both know who did this.”
“I don’t understand what you’re saying.”
“You understand, otherwise you wouldn’t be so scared.” Bai Ling reached out and gently wiped Su Qi’s forehead. “You’re sweating a lot.”
“Is it not okay for me to be hot?” Su Qi claimed she wasn’t scared, but that Bai Ya clinging to her was making her feel hot all over.
Bai Ling would definitely not believe such a flimsy excuse, but she wasn’t here to reprimand her this time. She just wanted to warn Su Qi, that was all.
“I know who you are,” Bai Ling said plainly to Su Qi. “Your Highness Qila, from the demon realm.”
“How did you know?” This time, Su Qi was truly surprised. “I clearly…”
She had clearly used the best disguise magic, and only a few demons had seen her true face.
How could her identity be exposed?
Right, last time, that pair of contact lenses!
That lens was inscribed with a permanent magic of discernment. Could it be that this magic saw through her disguise?
But to see through her disguise, the caster of that discernment magic must be powerful, and much more powerful than Qila.
There was only one such magician in the world.
“You know my sister?” Qila stared at Bai Ling, suppressing her excitement, and asked this question.
Only her sister could do this.
Only then could Bai Ling recognize her, the princess of the demon realm.
“I don’t know her,” Bai Ling averted her gaze.
“As expected, you know my sister. Tell me, where is my sister hiding now!” Bai Ling’s reaction made Qila confirm her guess. That’s right, this Bai Ling indeed knew her sister.
