Chapter 56
“Can I really wear this outfit outside?” With Xue’er’s help, Leticia had put on a set of clothes that were quite youthful and lively.
Humbly pulling at the hem of her skirt, the Demon Lord’s daughter revealed an expression almost impossible to see normally. Her flushed little face was like a ripe apple, making one want to take a bite.
“I never thought you’d show an expression like this. You look much more pleasant than usual,” Bai Ling said, sitting beside her and resting her chin on her hand as she nodded.
Letithia shot Bai Ling a fierce glare, like a little girl angry at her older sister. “Get out!”
“Go out and let Xiao Ya see you, and walk around a bit to see how it looks.” Bai Ling felt her mood lift considerably at Letithia’s embarrassed anger.
It was indeed the right decision to prepare a few outfits for Letithia. Letithia looked like a girl now. Who would prefer the slovenly shut-in over this cute girl?
“Don’t worry, Your Highness. Your outfit is very safe,” Xue’er said, trying to remove Letithia’s hand from the hem of her skirt. “And you’re wearing leggings too.”
“But I still don’t feel secure!” Letithia was already regretting her decision. Why had she chosen this dress? The other dress, though equally beautiful, was at least longer. This skirt’s length was outrageous, not even reaching halfway up her thigh. Her ivory-like, firm legs were now exposed to the air, making Letithia feel very shy.
“Isn’t this how you usually dress? You don’t seem to mind then, so why are you shy now?” Bai Ling was somewhat confused by Letithia’s reaction. Letithia usually wore a t-shirt, and she wasn’t shy then. What was there to be shy about now?
“Th-that’s different!”
“It is different. This skirt’s hem is longer than your usual clothes, and you’re also wearing leggings. It’s definitely safer now, isn’t it?” Bai Ling began to reason with her. In fact, compared to Letithia’s usual attire, this outfit could be considered conservative. It was certainly better than outfits made of only two pieces of fabric.
“Don’t be shy, go out and let Xiao Ya see,” Bai Ling said, walking over to Letithia, grabbing her arm, and pulling her towards the door.
“I haven’t put on my shoes yet, hey!” Letithia stumbled, almost falling into Bai Ling.
“We don’t need to worry about sneakers, they’re all the same anyway,” Bai Ling dismissed Letithia’s request and forcefully dragged her out of the bedroom.
Bai Ya, who was eagerly waiting outside, trotted over as soon as the door opened. The little girl squeezed next to Letithia and observed the greatly changed Letithia from all angles, top to bottom, left to right. After her inspection, she gave Letithia a thumbs-up. “You look super great, Qianqian Jie.”
Leticia, who already had a great foundation, fully embodied the saying that clothes make the man. She was like a pearl hidden in dust before, but now the dust covering her had completely dissipated. This rare gem was now freely emanating her radiance. At this moment, Bai Ya couldn’t help but applaud her sister’s wise decision.
“Ahahaha…” Letithia laughed awkwardly. She had already seen her reflection in the mirror. Just as Bai Ya said, she looked beautiful now, beautiful enough to rival Bai Ling. Despite her decadent lifestyle in the past few years and her lack of self-care, as the Demon Lord, Letithia still showcased the perfection of a demon race’s ruler.
“Qianqian Jie, don’t move, I’ll take a picture of you,” Bai Ya said, taking out her phone.
“Is taking pictures really necessary?” Letithia was somewhat resistant. She was afraid Bai Ya would show the photos to people around her, especially Su Qi. What if Su Qi recognized her?
“Huh?” Bai Ya looked to her sister for help. In Bai Ya’s opinion, if her sister asked, Qianqian Jie wouldn’t refuse much. Although Qianqian Jie would likely complain verbally, she would usually act with a “Fine, fine, as long as you’re happy” attitude. A classic case of saying one thing and doing another.
However, this time, Bai Ya’s plan failed. Bai Ling, uncharacteristically siding with Letithia, blocked Bai Ya’s request. “Just listen to Qianqian. If she doesn’t want to take a picture, don’t force her.”
“You won’t even let me take a picture?” Bai Ya was disappointed. At the same time, she became curious. Qianqian Jie wouldn’t want to take a picture just because she was shy, would she? If it were just shyness, her sister wouldn’t be on Qianqian Jie’s side.
“Xiao Ya, what do you plan to do with my photo?” Letithia shot Bai Ling a look that said, “Don’t say anything yet.” Without Bai Ling’s interference, Letithia was confident she could talk her way out of this.
Bai Ling understood Letithia’s intention and stepped back slightly, leaving the stage to her. Bai Ya thought for a moment and replied, “Hmm, I’ll probably just look at it myself, and when I introduce Qianqian Jie to my friends, I’ll let them see what you look like.”
It was a normal answer, consistent with Bai Ya’s usual demeanor.
“That won’t do,” Letithia said, wagging a finger in front of Bai Ya’s eyes. “I remember telling you and your sister how we met, right?”
“Mhm, Qianqian Jie, you said you used to be a big bad guy, and Sister was a superhero.” Bai Ya remembered the analogy Letithia had used.
“Xiao Ya, think about it. I used to be a big bad guy, so wouldn’t there be many people who disliked me?”
“Hmm, if Sister Qianqian was very, very bad, wouldn’t there be few people who disliked her?” Bai Ya said something surprising.
“Huh?”
“Aren’t those super bad people ruthless killers? As long as they eliminate everyone who dislikes them, then no one will dislike them… Wow, Sister, why are you hitting me?”
Before Bai Ya could finish her sentence, Bai Ling, unable to stand it any longer, reached out and lightly tapped Bai Ya’s head as a gesture of sisterly affection.
“Ahem, anyway, that’s how it is. Many people disliked me. If they knew you knew me, it might implicate you,” Letithia said helplessly, covering her forehead. That darned girl Bai Ya was becoming more and more mischievous lately.
“Oh, oh, oh, I understand.”
