Chapter: Chapter 73
“No means no, what’s with all the nonsense?” Bai Ling’s twisted logic, which she’d learned from somewhere, made Leticia feel a touch of panic. She felt she needed to correct Bai Ling’s obviously straying thoughts as soon as possible, otherwise, her future would be incredibly bleak.
Who knew if this guy would suddenly go berserk one day and pounce on poor Leticia to devour her completely.
Leticia couldn’t accept such a thing. She was the one who devoured others, not the other way around.
She, Leticia, was an attacker.
“Her Highness says she needs to consider it and will give us a reply by tonight at the latest.” Xue Er’s communication with Qila was very smooth. Qila was eager to get the book, and Leticia had even offered a tiny bit of sincerity, so progress was quite rapid.
Qila didn’t care who she was transacting with, as long as the book was in her hands, her objective was achieved.
As for Councilor Wang? Too bad he wasn’t capable enough to deliver the book to her safely.
She couldn’t just wait foolishly while that councilor ran around looking for someone. To be honest, based on the observations of the past few days, Qila truly didn’t believe that councilor could catch the tail of that mysterious organization.
At this time, that organization suddenly came knocking, offering Qila a very attractive price: as long as she met with someone from that organization, the book would be given for free.
Qila did a quick calculation and felt it was a business that wouldn’t lose money.
She believed that the person she was transacting with wouldn’t be some foolish person with a head full of yellow refuse. Since they were all smart people, meeting wouldn’t be a loss.
As for the potential danger, Qila was quite confident in her own strength.
If the ceiling of this world was the Sword Saint who defeated her sister, slightly below that was her sister, and even further down were the monarchs of other races.
Then Qila was at the level of these monarchs.
Therefore, demons were indeed a very powerful race among the异族. Firstly, they had a Demon King like Leticia, who could contend with the human Sword Saint. Below the Demon King, Princess Qila and the Four Heavenly Kings were also very powerful existences.
Unlike humans, where the gap between the Sword Saint and others was enormous. If you removed the Sword Saint, humans would probably only be considered a relatively weak race.
“As long as the person who meets me isn’t that Sword Saint, I’m confident I can escape,” Qila said to the few people kneeling before her.
“Unacceptable, Your Highness!”
“Your Highness has a thousand pieces of gold, you absolutely cannot risk yourself!”
“Your Highness, the demon race cannot do without you now!”
These demons were all loyal followers of the princess who had rushed over after hearing of Qila’s decision. Their purpose was only one: to dissuade Qila from meeting with people from that faction.
“The demon race has always been able to do without me. The person we demon race cannot do without has already been driven away by me personally. I must atone for my mistakes.” Qila’s voice was calm. Her personality was a continuation of her sister’s. Once she made up her mind, it was difficult to change.
After driving her sister out of their home, Qila deeply regretted it. Although her sister was very bad, liked to bully her, always had a bad temper, and later became so decadent that even Qila, who loved her sister the most, couldn’t stand it.
But undoubtedly, Qila was a very good sister. She had always believed in her sister and loved her sister.
Her sister had abandoned the demon race and left, so Qila had to carry the burden of the demon race for her sister. If her sister returned later to find a demon race with a devastated populace, Qila believed she would be hung on a tree and whipped by her angry sister.
“That book is worth me taking this risk, you don’t need to say more.” Qila waved her hand. When this girl was serious, she also had a unique charm. “Have you found any trace of my sister?”
The demons below looked at each other. This was truly a good question. “Yes and no.”
“What do you mean yes and no? I want an accurate answer. Yes means yes, no means no.” Qila pressed her temples, saying helplessly.
Only after standing in her sister’s original position did Qila understand the pressure on her sister. A large part of that pressure came from these subordinates who weren’t very bright.
The demons here exchanged glances and communicated with each other through their eyes. Finally, one of them mustered the courage to speak: “We don’t know if Her Majesty used disguise magic, so the investigation has made no progress.”
“She wouldn’t. Sister has never been someone who likes to hide her tracks. Even if she was escaping, she would use her true face.” Qila knew her sister very well. Unlike herself, her sister was a very awkward person, so awkward that others couldn’t understand her thoughts.
“But we don’t even know what Her Majesty looks like. Even if Her Majesty walked past us, we wouldn’t be able to detect that she is the one we are looking for.” The subordinates also had their complaints. Their superior had given them such a difficult task, and they really couldn’t complete it.
Let alone searching for Leticia based on Qila’s appearance, Qila had never shown them her true face.
Qila didn’t hide this from them. It was the consistent style of the Demon King’s family. In the entire demon race, only a few people knew what the Demon King looked like.
“Forget it, forget it. If we can’t find her, then we can’t find her. What did you mean by yes and no? Since there’s no progress, shouldn’t you just report no?”
“We indeed haven’t found any clues about Her Majesty, but we have found clues about people around Her Majesty.” Those demons quickly told Qila about their findings. “We learned through some channels that a boldly dressed maid often shops in stores in Centertown.”
“Maid?” Qila raised her eyebrows. What did that have to do with her sister?
“As far as we know, there are very few families in Centertown that can afford a maid. Moreover, that maid is so outstanding. We originally suspected she was employed by a large family, but after investigating, we found that she is not a maid for those large families.”
“Her owner is a relatively ordinary girl. That girl is very reclusive and stays at home all day, not going out. Her food, clothing, housing, and transportation should all be handled by that maid.”
“What’s strange is that we can’t find any other information about that girl, only her life experiences, and we don’t know why she could make such a maid loyal to her.”
“Is that so… Where does she live?” Qila became interested. She remembered someone, the person who left with her sister.
