Chapter: Chapter 57
“They’re looking at me, they’re definitely looking at me, right?”
Two girls were walking side by side on a lively street. The smaller of the two was tightly gripping the clothes of the larger girl, her eyes filled with fear of the crowd.
Behind them followed a beautiful girl in a maid outfit. She was holding another girl’s hand, and both of them wore expressions as if they had seen a ghost.
It couldn’t be helped. Leticia’s current appearance completely overturned their impressions. Xue’er and Bai Ya never imagined that Leticia would be so shy.
She had even discarded her pride, essentially hiding behind Bai Ling’s body.
“The more you act like this, the more attention you’ll attract,” Bai Ling said with a frown. “Just be natural, and they won’t notice you.”
“I don’t believe you,” Leticia shook her head repeatedly.
She was currently wearing the very revealing outfit that was perfect for the current weather.
She had also tried on the other two outfits and concluded that Bai Ling’s money had been well spent. Both the material and style were far better than the clothes Leticia had worn before.
They were very comfortable to wear, making Leticia even reluctant to take them off.
After changing into several outfits, the sky slowly darkened.
Bai Ling had only tried on about half of her clothes. It wasn’t that she was concerned about time, but rather that she was hungry.
However, because Bai Ya and Xue’er had been sitting in the living room watching Leticia and Bai Ling’s fashion show all afternoon, no one had prepared dinner today.
“Why don’t we eat out?” Bai Ya suggested. “We can wear our new clothes out then.”
Bai Ling agreed to this suggestion, and Xue’er was indifferent.
Only Leticia displayed extreme resistance.
Leticia had already changed back into the first outfit she had tried on, which was the one she was currently wearing, because she felt it was more comfortable than the previous ones.
Leticia was like that. For the sake of comfort, wearing such clothes at home was a minor issue for her.
But to have her wear such clothes outside?
Heavens, it would be better to kill her.
“You don’t need to be so shy. Trust me, others won’t notice you,” Bai Ling said, trying to placate Leticia. “I should be more eye-catching than you.”
Although she felt that Bai Ling’s words sounded like she was showing off her charm, Leticia wasn’t in the mood to retort at that moment.
This was because she genuinely hoped with all her heart that what Bai Ling said was true.
“Xue’er, shall we go home for dinner?” Leticia still wanted to make one last effort.
Xue’er guiltily averted her gaze. “Your Highness… Miss, this fear of people really needs to be changed.”
And so, Leticia was dragged out of the room by the three of them.
As soon as they stepped onto the street and saw the people, Leticia immediately transformed into her current timid state.
“Qianqian Jie, what do you want to eat? There are many restaurants near our house,” Bai Ya said, poking Leticia’s fair and tender waist.
This caused the already sensitive Leticia to let out a small gasp. She turned and glared at Bai Ya with resentful eyes, then said, “The closer the better.”
Bai Ya’s mouth twitched uncontrollably. This appearance of Qianqian Jie really gave her a peculiar feeling.
She actually wanted Qianqian Jie to look at her more with that kind of gaze. It was too strange.
“Xiao Ya, hurry up and lead the way,” Bai Ling said, turning back to her sister who was lost in thought. “If we delay any longer, her face will be fried like an egg.”
“Hey, is this my fault!” Leticia was displeased. She reached through Bai Ling’s thin clothing and grabbed the girl’s soft flesh at her waist.
A blush also appeared on Bai Ling’s face. She quickly slapped away Leticia’s mischievous hand. “Stop messing around.”
In terms of physical sensitivity, this young lady was no less impressive.
“Phew, it feels like even more people are looking at us.”
“That’s your problem,” Bai Ling stated, indicating that this time it was not her fault.
If Leticia had been more well-behaved, she wouldn’t have attracted so much attention.
Now, with two super beautiful girls fooling around on the street, how could they not attract attention?
“Sister, Qianqian Jie, let’s go eat steak,” Bai Ya chose a restaurant. “It’s about a five-minute walk.”
She wasn’t sure what Qianqian Jie and Xue’er liked to eat, so choosing a more common restaurant was suitable.
Surely no one disliked steak, right?
Anyway, when they ate together last time, Qianqian Jie ate quite heartily, so she probably didn’t dislike steak.
As expected, upon hearing Bai Ya’s choice, Leticia happily agreed.
“Okay, let’s go quickly.”
Since Leticia agreed, Bai Ling and Xue’er naturally had no objections.
The latter two had no specific requirements for food. Bai Ling just needed it to be plentiful, and Xue’er was even simpler; she just needed to be able to eat.
“Alright, let’s go this way,” Bai Ya walked ahead of her sister and Leticia, starting to lead the way.
As they walked, Leticia’s rapidly beating heart gradually calmed down. Although the gazes directed at her still made her a little scared, she at least didn’t shrink behind Bai Ling like she had just moments before.
“How did you become the Demon King with this kind of fear of people?” Bai Ling asked softly.
After spending these few days together, she had truly begun to doubt that Leticia was the Demon King.
Normally, Leticia was an extremely tsundere shut-in. She would never stand if she could lie down and never go out unless it was necessary.
Her social skills were practically zero, but online, she was a very eloquent person.
She perfectly matched the characteristics of modern otaku that Bai Ling had found through search engines. In fact, she could be said to be the epitome of a shut-in.
A girl like this could be anyone, but no matter how she thought about it, she didn’t seem like the Demon King.
The Demon King was the ruler of the demon race, a leader akin to the emperors of humanity in ancient times. She shouldn’t be like Leticia.
Bai Ling even felt that the Leticia she had captured before and the current Leticia were two different people. They looked exactly the same, but their inner selves were vastly different.
One was a flawless king, the other a scruffy girl. Bai Ling truly couldn’t connect these two images.
But Leticia was such a marvelously strange existence, she could truly possess two faces.
Bai Ling couldn’t help but wonder, which Leticia was the true Leticia.
