Chapter: Chapter 58
“If I could choose, I wouldn’t want to be the Demon King. There are no days off, and I have to worry about a bunch of things every day.” Leticia pouted, no longer concealing her intense dislike for the profession of Demon King.
“But you’re doing a pretty good job, aren’t you?” Bai Ling knew Leticia’s status among the demons. This young lady could be considered a rare wise ruler among the demons in recent generations.
“That’s because you don’t know how bizarre my ancestors were. I’ll tell you about them if I have the chance.” Leticia chuckled. Did she not know her own abilities? She could fight, but dealing with the political affairs of the demons was really not her forte.
Fortunately, her predecessors were also not good at dealing with these matters. If anything, compared to them, Leticia, who occasionally offered her own opinions, was actually quite good.
“My mother was a love-struck fool. Kira and I were just collateral for her love. In the end, she was assassinated because of love.” Leticia didn’t have much affection for her mother, the previous Demon King.
As for her father… Leticia really had no impression of him.
“Right, what about your parents? Are they both dead?”
“I don’t know.” Bai Ling shook her head. “They disappeared when I was young. I asked Senior Sang about it before, but she also had no clues about my parents.”
“Oh, then they’re most likely gone.” Leticia’s words were quite irritating. Even the usually good-tempered Bai Ling felt her fists clench.
Who curses someone’s parents to death like that?
“Sister, Sister Qianqian, we’ve arrived!” Bai Ya timely interrupted the two young women who were about to have a real-life fight on the street. She pointed to a lively restaurant not far away and said to them.
“Okay.” Bai Ling put her fist down.
Leticia, on the other hand, grinned. Watching Bai Ling falter was incredibly satisfying.
Thus, with Leticia’s seamless change of topic, Bai Ling’s attention successfully shifted from “Leticia is Leticia” to “how to beat up Leticia.”
Truly a joyous occasion.
Entering the restaurant, since it was a day off, there were quite a few customers.
“Four guests?” A server standing at the entrance immediately greeted them with a professional smile.
“Yes, do you have any seats?” Bai Ya nodded.
“Yes, yes.” The server led the four to an empty table and then pointed to the QR code on the table, saying, “You need to scan the code with your phone to order.”
“Okay.” Bai Ya indicated she understood.
As Bai Ya took out her phone to scan the code, Leticia nudged Bai Ling with her elbow, “Hey, look at those three over there. Aren’t they the people we beat up a few days ago?”
Bai Ling followed Leticia’s gaze, and a distinctive mop of yellow hair caught her eye.
“Yes, it should be them.” The yellow-haired person with two beautiful girls, that combination was likely the ones they had beaten up a few days ago.
“What a coincidence,” Leticia remarked. “I didn’t expect to run into them while eating.”
Central City was so big, yet the two groups coincidentally chose to eat here. It truly made one sigh about their fate.
Leticia and Bai Ling’s pointing and whispering naturally attracted the attention of the trio. Lu Siyu, facing Leticia and Bai Ling, quietly said to Xia Hongying next to her, “Look, those two girls over there seem to be looking at us.”
“Ah, it’s normal. Look at that yellow head, how could it not be eye-catching?” Xia Hongying replied without looking up.
In Central City, where black hair was the predominant hair color, the yellow-haired person’s flowing yellow hair was truly striking.
“This is natural, it’s inherited, understand?” The yellow-haired person expressed his displeasure. His yellow hair was a family heirloom and something he was very proud of.
“Besides, isn’t there a white-haired person over there too? Compared to me, a yellow-haired person, white hair is much rarer, right?” The yellow-haired person also looked back at Bai Ling’s table, quickly finding the two girls who were whispering. “These two girls are quite pretty.”
“Indeed, they’re much prettier than those celebrity stars on TV.” Xia Hongying also looked up towards Bai Ling. Upon seeing the two girls, she was also a bit surprised. These two girls were the prettiest she had ever seen.
Especially the dark-haired little girl, who looked very lively and cute, almost like Xia Hongying’s ideal image.
“They seem to have seen us,” Leticia said to Bai Ling, resting her chin on her hand and smiling at Xia Hongying.
“Their perception is very keen. As expected of a rising star that the association has high hopes for.” Bai Ling showed no reaction. It would be strange if those three had no reaction.
Neither she nor Leticia had concealed their gaze. Such obvious attention was easily perceived by gifted ability users.
“Sister, Sister Qianqian, stop whispering and hurry up and order!” Bai Ya said with some displeasure to the two.
Since just now, her sister and Senior Sister Qianqian had been whispering to each other. They had been talking for a long time and still hadn’t finished. She had called them several times but they hadn’t noticed.
This annoying couple…
“Ah, haven’t finished ordering yet?” Leticia blinked. She thought Bai Ya had already finished ordering.
“Anything is fine with me,” Bai Ling replied even more briefly. “As long as I can eat my fill.”
“Oh.”
……
“You’re saying that after you searched the kitchen, you were knocked unconscious, and when you woke up, you only saw two strange people, one black and one white?” Kira stood in the center of the room with her hands behind her back. Behind her, Emily was kneeling on one knee.
“Yes, I just don’t know why they let me go.” Emily nodded. She thought she was going to die, but when she woke up after being knocked out a second time, she found herself lying on a park bench.
That place was covered by surveillance, as if the person who brought her there had deliberately chosen it.
She really didn’t understand why someone would treat a petty thief like her in such a way. They didn’t torture her or anything, just knocked her out and threw her out.
Could it be that those two were actually Bodhisattvas reincarnated?
“One black and one white… what were their heights?” Su Qi gradually guessed the truth. She remembered the black robe Bai Ling had worn home last night and also remembered the excuse Bai Ling had given at the time.
She said she was going to catch a thief.
The thief naturally referred to Emily, but there was another issue: Bai Ling should have had a companion.
Otherwise, how could Emily have been knocked out and captured before Bai Ling even returned home?
It’s not like that person actually lived at Bai Ling’s house, but Bai Ling kept it a secret from Bai Ya, right?
