Chapter: Chapter 54
What Lestia said made an inexplicable amount of sense.
“Even if you humans knew I live here, no one would dare to provoke me,” Lestia shrugged carelessly. “If it weren’t for you, you bastard, my little life was going quite smoothly.”
She had been here for so long, hadn’t her life been peaceful before Bai Ling arrived?
Although she went out less often, she had still gone out, and no one recognized her after going out, which already indicated something.
“Your identity is forged perfectly.”
“Of course, I am a wise Demon King, such a small matter is effortless!” Lestia puffed out her non-existent chest and said with considerable pride.
“It should be Miss Xue’er’s doing,” Bai Ling gave Lestia no face at all. She was well aware that with Lestia’s disposition, she couldn’t possibly achieve such a good disguise.
All of this should have been done by Xue’er, the omnipotent maid.
Xue’er, who was named, smiled shyly, “Miss Bai Ling is too kind.”
See, she admitted it.
As they spoke, Bai Ling had already eaten all the bread that Xue’er had brought. Even Lestia exclaimed in surprise at her eating speed, calling her a pervert.
“I feel the adjective ‘pig’ is no longer sufficient to describe you,” Lestia said gloomily, watching the bread still half-eaten in front of her.
From the moment Bai Ling started eating to when she finished that large piece of bread, only less than three minutes had passed. During this time, Bai Ling had also exchanged a few words with Lestia.
This showed that Bai Ling’s eating speed could only be described as terrifying.
After finishing breakfast, Bai Ling stood up, intending to go home and wait for her sister to wake up.
“You’re just going to leave like this? Without saying thanks for the meal?” Lestia was quite displeased with this. Bai Ling came to her house early in the morning to freeload, and after eating, she just slipped away without saying a word. What kind of human scum was this?
“Oh, thanks for the meal.” Bai Ling followed the advice and nodded towards Xue’er.
Lestia was furious. What did Bai Ling mean by this? Was she looking down on her?
“I’m the boss of this house, you have to thank me!”
“Breakfast was prepared for me by Miss Xue’er. Lestia, you were just sitting here eating,” Bai Ling explained earnestly. “So I’m thanking Miss Xue’er.”
“Ahahaha.” Xue’er’s expression was a little awkward. She glanced at the about-to-explode Lestia and quickly said to Bai Ling, “Xue’er is just following Your Majesty’s orders. Miss Bai Ling should thank Your Majesty if she wants to thank someone.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes.”
“Then alright, Lestia, thank you for the hospitality.” Bai Ling finally looked at Lestia, her words lacking any sincerity.
Would such a thank you satisfy Lestia?
Of course… it did.
“Mhm, mhm, go on then, don’t come here for no reason.” Lestia, who had been on the verge of anger just moments ago, now smiled. She waved her hand generously, signaling Bai Ling to get lost.
The Queen of Demons’ face was even more fickle than the summer sky.
“The clothes should arrive this afternoon, I’ll come to call you,” Bai Ling tried her best to force a smile. “Don’t run away.”
Bai Ling’s smile, which was uglier than a cry, truly rendered Lestia speechless. The Queen of Demons felt she had underestimated Bai Ling’s poker face.
Look at this face. It should be very beautiful when smiling, but under Bai Ling’s manipulation, it had become as ugly as a monster at the edge of the world.
“Come on, your smile is worse than not smiling. You used to be a cool beauty, but now you’re just a ghost.”
“Is it that ugly?” Bai Ling rubbed her face, smoothing over the smile she had managed to put on.
“A forced smile will never look good, Miss Bai Ling doesn’t need to try so hard.” Xue’er agreed with Lestia’s statement; Bai Ling’s smile just now was indeed a little scary.
The Sword Saint sighed. As expected, she still had some minor issues with managing her expressions.
Oh well, such trivial matters could be discussed later.
“I’m leaving now.”
“Don’t bother.”
After Bai Ling left, Lestia picked up the almost empty noodle bowl and heartily drank the remaining noodle soup in one gulp.
“Ah, refreshing.” Placing the empty bowl on the table, Lestia let out a small burp.
Actually, her eating manners weren’t that good either.
“Alas, Xue’er, I’m increasingly wanting to move my residence,” Lestia propped her chin, her gaze wandering around the room.
She originally thought that being neighbors with Bai Ling was not an unacceptable thing, but now, she felt that she had been too naive before.
This Bai Ling was like a piece of chewing gum, once it stuck, it couldn’t be shaken off.
Constantly coming over to freeload meals made Lestia extremely annoyed. They were supposed to be mortal enemies, so why was this Bai Ling so ungrateful?
She just wanted to live a peaceful life. Wouldn’t it be a beautiful thing if she and Bai Ling could mind their own business?
“Do you need me to start looking for a new place now?” Xue’er understood Lestia’s complaints.
Bai Ling was indeed a bit unreasonable, and it was surprising to Xue’er that Lestia was only starting to have trouble with it now.
She originally thought Lestia could only last a few days, but she didn’t expect her to last a week. It was truly a cause for celebration.
“Let’s start looking around, preferably somewhere very far from here,” Lestia nodded. If Bai Ling escalated things, moving would have to be put on the agenda.
Having a Sword Saint living here would attract attention from others no matter how you thought about it, especially since Bai Ling seemed to have a knack for attracting trouble.
Look, it had only been a few days, and a demon had already shown up.
Today it’s a demon, tomorrow a beastman, the day after an elf, and will Kirara eventually find this place?
If Kirara caught her, Lestia would have a very bad time.
“Speaking of which, Xue’er, do you have any news about Kirara?”
“I haven’t been able to find any news about Princess yet, she is very careful,” Xue’er shook her head. “Unless it’s related to the demon world…”
“That would be walking into a trap. Try your best to find her, but it’s okay if you don’t find her.” Lestia immediately stated that she absolutely could not communicate with the demon world. She had gone to great lengths to escape from those people’s surveillance.
If Xue’er established communication channels with them, those guys might come looking for her.
One Bai Ling was enough to give Lestia a headache. If a few more old men appeared, she might explode on the spot.
Therefore, absolutely not.
“It’s good that you can’t find her, at least it means Kirara isn’t in this place.”
