Chapter 150 – Intimate Kiss

Maintain distance… Lin Xiao easily understood Elena’s thoughts.

He couldn’t help but say, the Demon King’s way of thinking was too strange, if it wasn’t for the strange mutual understanding they had, if it was someone else, they definitely would think she’s crazy.

Either, buying poison to murder her master. Or, being an obedient maid for her master.

Out of two opposite extremes, in one day, Elena who was still a fierce cat the day before, became a perfect cat maid the next day.

Ever since that incident, she heard and obeyed his every word, didn’t make mistakes or cause trouble. Lin Xiao couldn’t find anything wrong, but at the same time, he had no way to approach her.

Lin Xiao knew that her plan was to endure until the end of the Academy Tournament so Snow would free her, so her being obedient wasn’t her gentleness, but the preludes to their goodbye.

She used a cold way to bid farewell to Lin Xiao in advance.

“Tsk, so what?”

He never liked Elena in the first place, so who cares how she treats him. Besides, ever since he met her, she’s never treated him well, so he didn’t care even if she continued to treat him coldly.

He was satisfied as long as Elena obediently acted as his maid.

The trip towards Despair Island Lake was very peaceful.

There were no bandits blocking the way, no assassins. They continued along as planned, passing through Lombard Kingdom’s borders, heading along the Eastern plains towards the Heino Kingdom borders.

The journey was boring, Elena was ignoring him, so Lin Xiao was bored, so he could go to his beloved princess.

Shen DaiYing was a princess, she didn’t bother with trifling matters, even though she rejected him twice, she could still chat with him without any awkwardness or difficulty.

A gentle smile, a sweet voice, and a graceful manner, this was the perfect girlfriend, as expected of the one he liked. Much better than some damn stinking willful cat!

“Lin Xiao, have you ever heard of Caesar mention his older brother?” Shen DaiYing asked with smiles.

“No, never.”

“Un… but he treats Caesar so well, why doesn’t he appreciate it, strange.” Shen DaiYing fell into thought.

Today’s topic was family matters and gossip.

Even though Shen DaiYing was a graceful princess, she was also a young girl, so she was very interested in this kind of gossip. When speaking of Caesar’s family matters, it was like she did her homework and had a lot she wanted to say.

About Caesar’s brother, Thomas Alex, Lin Xiao more or less had some impression of him.

He still remembered when his brother specially gifted him a carriage of stuff to celebrate the fact that Caesar got an S for the actual combat drill. Even though it was rejected by Caesar, he wasn’t angry. This time he still sent his personal guards to protect him, so one could tell of their brotherly relationships.

Yet Caesar still didn’t appreciate it and had an attitude of wanting him to mind his own business.

“Oh, by the way, it seems like not only is Caesar feeling down… I noticed that lately Rosie hasn’t been feeling too good either.” Shen DaiYing whispered next to Lin Xiao’s ears.

Since there were many carriages in their group, they were all now in different ones.

Other than being together on the day they left, in order for Caesar and Rosie to obtain peace and quiet, not wanting to hear Lin Xiao and Shen DaiYing’s constant chattering, they left to separate carriages. One ahead, and one behind, leaving Lin Xiao in the middle.

As for Lin Xiao, he shared a carriage with Elena and Shen DaiYing. The cold stinking cat was to his left, and the charming gentle princess was to his right, he was enjoying the hard to come by experience.

Originally, Shen DaiYing was supposed to be on the same carriage as Caesar, but he was resolutely against it and wanted to be by himself. Rosie didn’t want to breathe the same air as that stinking vixen, so Shen DaiYing became someone no one wanted, and Lin Xiao got something nice.

Neither Caesar nor Shen DaiYing had any awareness as being engaged, so Lin Xiao was pleased with his position as the third wheel.

Shen DaiYing and Lin Xiao chatted merrily along the way, to others, perhaps they looked like the engaged couple, this misconception made Lin Xiao feel an immoral pleasure.

How nice would it be if it continued on like this? They didn’t have to think about the engagement, the benefits. just that he likes her.

“Rosie? Sigh, after all, Caesar did say those kinds of things… being ignored by the one you like, of course she would be hurt.” As he said that, he shifted a bit towards that stinking cat, and pulled a bit away from Shen DaiYing.

She was just too close to him, to the point that he could feel her breath on his ear, although he enjoyed it, he had to endure, he couldn’t let Shen DaiYing think that he was a pervert.

Although Shen DaiYing already long saw through his nature…

“Sigh, you’re right, if it was me, I would probably cry.”

Although Rosie was hostile towards her, but she liked her, and didn’t wish to see Rosie’s haggard complexion.

“There’s no helping it, there’s nothing we can do, it’s their own faults, who asked them to be so dishonest?”

To Lin Xiao, those two were just too immature, it was clearly a problem that could be solved with just one sentence, but neither of them was willing to be frank, neither was willing to lower their heads first, so they continued to give each other the cold shoulder, harming one another.

Though, speaking of dishonesty, Lin Xiao had no right to lecture someone else, right now, wasn’t he and some stinking cat having a cold war? And they were even more immature.

One was a damn pervert that wasn’t willing to face his true inner self and one was a cold cat that wasn’t willing to lower herself. It would take a while to resolve this conflict.

“But Lin Xiao, I…” Shen DaiYing suddenly noticed that Lin Xiao got further away from her. Since they were gossiping, she couldn’t speak too loudly, so in order for him to hear, she unconsciously moved closer.

Her long hair naturally rested on her shoulder, she used her palm to support herself on her seat, her upper body was leaned forward, and her head was tilted upwards slightly, she seamlessly closed their distance, forgetting that she was a noble princess and the promise with Xiao Hua, to not get close to that man.

The result was her lips almost pressing onto his cheek, if she just stuck her tongue out, she could almost lick his ears.

He saw Shen DaiYing getting closer out of his peripheral vision, so he turned his head curiously. But they were too close, and she never expected him to turn his head, and realized that their lips almost touched.

It was like everything froze.

To bystanders, her charming expression and smile, plus her leaning posture made it look like she was trying to kiss him!

Of course, the bystanders only composed of Elena.

“Sister Ying?” Never in his dreams did he ever think that Shen DaiYing would try to kiss him, so he couldn’t help but stiffen.

“Uh, n-no… s-sorry…”

In order to hide her embarrassment, she retreated like lightning and spoke of a different topic while laughing out loud.

“T-the weather is nice today, hehe.”

“Yes… it is indeed.” Lin Xiao awkwardly responded.

“Hehe, isn’t it, hehe.”

As she spoke, she sneaked glances at Lin Xiao from time to time, and the only bystander, Elena’s reactions.

How could she be trying to kiss him? It was just a misunderstanding, but she didnt know how she should explain it.

As a princess, Shen DaiYing had a way to deal with guys, for guys who liked her, she had to maintain a certain distance, not too close and not too far. To show her dignity as a princess, she had to look down, to let them feel her getnleness, but also to not let them overstep their bounds.

She learned this since a young age, and who knows how many stinking men she’s sent away with it, but facing Lin Xiao, it was like she forgot everything.

She closed the distance between them.

Her charming and flattering smile.

Her intimate actions with disregard for her posture.

These were all three things that she should never do to a man as a princess, but she did all three and even created a misunderstanding that she was trying to kiss him.

This was her first slip up ever since leaving her home.

Was Xiao Hua right? Was Lin Xiao different and already starting to affect her?

Shen DaiYing didn’t believe it.

There was no way. Lin Xiao was an unambitious good-for-nothing, she never had a good impression of him, he was also so perverted, he clearly already had a woman next to him, yet… yet…

Shen DaiYing couldn’t maintain her composure because of what happened, and couldn’t stop glancing at Elena’s exquisitely and indifferent good-looking face.

It was like that maid didn’t even notice what had occurred and was still looking out the window at the scenery, but in that instant, she noticed her glancing at her, her eyes filled with disdain.
