Chapter: Chapter 72
“That place? Isn’t it a bit unsafe?” Bai Ling didn’t quite agree with Leticia’s idea. Although it was sparsely populated, it was still a public place after all.
Doing business there, how could that not be considered abnormal?
“We’re not doing anything shameful. What’s wrong with me wearing a white dress to see my sister?” Leticia, on the other hand, thought her choice was excellent, considering it the best place for a transaction.
“I disagree.” Bai Ling shook her head.
What if innocent bystanders got involved? The conflict between demons and heroes could easily cause collateral damage.
Bai Ling’s bottom line was that no human should be seriously harmed during Leticia’s operation. Minor injuries were inevitable, and Bai Ling wouldn’t be overly demanding.
“Then why don’t you just ask your good friends to clear the area and prevent ordinary people from entering?” Leticia stated that she liked that place. Since Bai Ling had powerful connections, blocking off a street would be a simple matter.
Bai Ling believed she couldn’t indulge Leticia’s willfulness. With the girl’s temperament, she would definitely push her luck.
Therefore, she wanted to prevent problems before they occurred and firmly stop Leticia from thinking she had the leverage to negotiate with Bai Ling.
“No.” Bai Ling placed her hands on Leticia’s shoulders, pressing the somewhat agitated girl back into her chair. “That reason is unreasonable. I still think the place the one-eyed man mentioned is better.”
“What’s not good about it? Handing over the item to the person who should rightfully own it at the very beginning, isn’t that very ceremonial?” Leticia angrily waved her small fists.
Ceremonial? Bai Ling was shocked by Leticia’s bizarre reasoning. You want to set a trap for your sister and also care about ceremony?
“Ahem, Ladies, please don’t argue. How about we let Princess Kira decide?” Seeing the two about to fight in the living room due to their differing opinions, Xue Er quickly suggested a compromise.
“Huh?”
“?”
Being stared at by both girls with the same confused look, Xue Er blinked. “I said, let Princess Kira choose the location for the transaction.”
“Why? I have the book now. Even if I pick the entrance of the Hero Association as the transaction site, Kira will have to come obediently, right?” Leticia claimed she was in the dominant position.
Xue Er looked at Leticia with a half-smile. Her Majesty seemed to have her thought process blocked due to anger.
Being looked at like that by Xue Er, Leticia immediately realized she was talking nonsense.
“That’s right. Actually, Kira is the one with the decision-making power. If she thinks the risk outweighs the reward, she definitely won’t come.”
“Bai, why don’t we do as Xue Er suggested? What do you say?”
Seeing Leticia agree to Xue Er’s proposal so quickly, Bai Ling pouted slightly, feeling a bit sour. “Alright.”
She didn’t know how she was feeling at the moment. She felt a bit sour, as if jealous.
But she didn’t know what she was jealous of.
Perhaps she was jealous that Xue Er’s suggestion was accepted by Leticia, while her own suggestion was rejected with all sorts of unreasonable excuses.
“Why do I feel like you’re saying that in a sour tone? What’s wrong, are you jealous?” Xue Er went to make a phone call. Leticia looked at Bai Ling, starting a new round of mockery.
Whether Bai Ling was jealous or not, she didn’t know, but she could tell Bai Ling’s voice sounded off just now.
“What if I say yes?”
“Then I can only reply, eat if you want to,” Leticia said with a disdainful smile. What did it have to do with her if this person was jealous? “Take my advice, go home and wash your brain thoroughly, and get rid of those strange thoughts.”
Leticia had personally experienced that Bai Ling had become increasingly strange since her retirement.
The Bai Ling at the beginning was similar to how she remembered her. But after some time, Bai Ling now showed a significant contrast to her initial image of the Iceberg Sword Saint.
The most obvious point was that the initial Bai Ling was a complete “three-no” girl, with few words and little emotion.
But the current Bai Ling was gradually talking more, with even richer emotions. It’s just that her poker face hadn’t changed much from before.
“My brain is fine.” Bai Ling pointed to her head and replied very seriously.
She was just finding a new life after shedding her responsibilities.
The Star River Sword Saint was invincible. She couldn’t have emotions, because emotions would create flaws, and a Sword Saint couldn’t have flaws.
That’s why the initial Bai Ling was like that. It wasn’t because she was naturally emotionless, but because she needed to be emotionless, so she was emotionless.
Now, she no longer needed to suppress her emotions. She could have her own emotions and her own life.
Years of suppression had caused her personality to become slightly twisted. Fortunately, it wasn’t too serious. With the help of her sister and ‘friends,’ she had recovered quite well.
Her emotions had returned, and naturally, her words had increased.
“You did that kind of thing to me, so your words don’t have much credibility.” Leticia rolled her eyes. Bai Ling still had the nerve to say her brain was fine.
If her brain was fine, would this person just hug her out of nowhere?
You, Bai Ling, are a Sword Saint! What kind of propriety is it for a Sword Saint to be embracing with her former mortal enemy, Demon King Leticia!
“I don’t think I did anything wrong.”
“So I think you’re an idiot.” Leticia scoffed. Anyone could say their brain was fine, but you, the retired Sword Saint, have no right to say that. “You’re so indiscriminate, why didn’t you just go find a beautiful girl at a bar?”
It seemed like those people would have been more suitable than Leticia.
“I am a demon, and I am the Demon King,” Leticia reiterated the gap in their identities. “You are human, a Sword Saint.”
Regarding this point, Bai Ling could retort, “According to experts’ research, there is no fundamental difference between humans and demons. It’s just that demons can use magic, and humans can use superpowers.”
Leticia was speechless by Bai Ling’s words because this conclusion was also reached by demon scholars.
The gap between humans and demons wasn’t actually that large. The two races could even intermarry.
It’s just that the race of the offspring was random. They could be demons or humans.
Unlike humans and elves, whose offspring were always half-elves, or humans and beastmen, whose offspring were always half-beastmen.
“So what? What does that have to do with you being an idiot?”
“I just want to say that the difference between you and me isn’t that big. If others can do it, why can’t we?”
