Chapter 163 – Sister-in-law if you win, maid if you lose

Lin Xiao never knew how he should interact with Snow.

Snow is his little sister, he knew her temper, her temperament, and her likes inside out. Without exaggerating, everything in her life was from Lin Xiao, he gave her spirit, he taught her how to smile, how to walk, how to search for light in this dark world with closed eyes.

If it wasn’t for Lin Xiao, this patch of pure white snow would have already become dirty mud on the sides of the roads.

Yet, Snow left him, and set onto a path entirely different than his, he was powerless.

If one was to ask if he liked her, then of course he does! She was his most intimate person, he loved her!

Snow probably liked him too, though he doesn’t know how he even fit her, but he believed that he was Snow’s favorite brother.

But wasn’t it strange?

Why couldn’t two people who loved each other so stay together? One ran to Loran Academy to laze around and the other joined the Holy Light Church, lonely advancing towards that imaginary peak.

“Brother, stop faking, I know you’re fine… hmph, I’ll let you go this time, I definitely won’t hold back next time!”

Snow slowly climbed off the bed, tidied her wrinkled robe, patted her messy long hair, and sighed like a mature adult, with a face of satisfaction. Lin Xiao laid on bed powerlessly, with a pale face like he was dying.

If it was someone else, they would have thought Snow sucked him dry!

“Elona, come!”

Along with the wave of her hand, Elona who was still on the floor reflexively shot up and quickly ran over to carefully tidy her clothes and hair.

Looking at Elona’s subservient manner hurt Elena endlessly, she couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

“Elena, you don’t have to sigh, you idiot, you’re not even as useful as your niece.” Snow touched Elona’s bulging chest while ridiculing the pathetic Demon King.

“Hah? I’m an idiot?” Elena didn’t understand why she had to insult her.

“Yes, if you weren’t, why would you use your hands to touch the magic crystal?” Saying that, Snow suddenly retracted her joking tone, turned towards Lin Xiao who was pretending to be dead and said, “Brother, she’s an idiot, but why didn’t you stop her? Or are you an idiot like her as well?”

“Uh… what does that have to do with me?” Lin Xiao climbed up and felt wrongly accused.

“Brother, don’t forget, not only is she a demon, she’s the Demon King, the power of her progenitor is purer than any other magic power, of course, the crystal would explode from sucking it in!” Snow wrinkled her brows and said, “Really… thankfully that old woman and that damn trap are idiots, otherwise, you guys would be in trouble!”

There’s only one reason for the crystal showing black and exploding… the crystal sucked in something other than magic power! Luckily, Charles and Jennifer didn’t realize the severity of it, so they could muddle through.

“Hmph, it’s fine if everything turns out fine, right?” Elena bit her lips and finally found a comeback, “If I’m an idiot… then what about you?”

“Me?” Snow stopped.

“If you’re not an idiot, then do you know Anderson’s real identity? Hmph, you don’t even know when a traitor of the Holy Light Church is right next to you… it seems like you are indeed blind.”

“That damn fatty is a traitor? What do you mean?” It seems like she got all her attention, and didn’t even mind her cursing her blind, “Oh right, brother even gave me a card earlier… strange, what do you guys know?”

“Oh, I almost forgot… Snow, it’s actually like this!” Without waiting for Elena, Lin Xiao cut in.

He told Snow all about Elena encountering Anderson outside of Winterless City, including the basement with the Lesser Devils. Elena listened on the side silently and didn’t cut in.

She noticed one detail, Lin Xiao told Snow everything about the Lesser Devils, but didn’t mention a single thing regarding Shen DaiYing.

There was no need to explain why he did so, why else? Of course, it was to protect his dream girl.

With Snow’s personality, if she knew that the vixen princess her brother likes is actually a killer, and involved with the Lesser Devils, wouldn’t she skin her alive?

“So you’re saying that Anderson is raising Lesser Devils and that’s what attacked the demons, is the ringleader that chased Elena out of the Forest of the End?”

“That’s right.”

“As expected…”

Snow wasn’t too surprised after hearing it, but fell into deep thought.

She was glad that she was able to follow Anderson along, otherwise, if she let that guy come out alone, who knows what kind of thing he’ll do. Now that she knows some more details, she can carry out an investigation, and clearly find out his true colors.

“Uh, Snow, you just said ‘as expected’…” Lin Xiao pursed his lips with a complicated expression.

“Hehe, what’s wrong brother, are you surprised? I’m actually…”

It seems like something almost slipped out, Snow opened her mouth to speak, suddenly thought of something and swallowed the rest of her words.

“No, nothing… just leave it to me.” Snow shook her head, smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll keep an eye on that damn fatty.”

“Snow, um….”

“Don’t worry brother, trust me, it’s no big deal. I’ve never disappointed you, right? You can just participate in your tournament at ease.” Snow raised her hand, and touched Lin Xiao’s cheek, then gently whispered, “You just have to chase after the life you want, and I’ll chase after mine… I, won’t tie you down anymore…”

“Eh? What did you say?”

She was whispering too quietly, and Lin Xiao couldn’t hear her.

“Nothing… Ah! Damn, I need to go. Anderson and Charles are still waiting for me, I still have to give them some face as the Saintess and can’t leave for too long.”

Snow suddenly changed the topic with a joyful smile on her immature face, like the serious topic from earlier didn’t happen at all.

“Demon King, have you thought about it? Do you want to be my ally or my enemy?” She turned to ask Elena.

“Do I even have a choice?”

She was currently under someone’s control, what could she choose other than an ally?

“Yes, you have no choice! Hehe.” Snow nodded her head in satisfaction, “It’s good like this, why can’t you just trust me?”

“Whatever… as long as you can keep your promise.” Elena coldly responded.

Snow said before, as long as she obediently listened, she would remove the slave contract after the tournament, that was the only thing that she cared about.

“Ah, of course! I can guarantee that I won’t lie to you, I’ll definitely keep my promise!” Snow sincerely responded.

“Hmph, I hope so.” Hearing that, Elena was delighted, but didn’t let it show.

Honestly speaking, she still didn’t believe that Snow would be so kind, could it be some kind of trap!

“Are you not afraid that I’ll immediately kill your brother after you remove the slave contract?” Elena squinted and asked.

Without her chains, she could get back her real body. At that time, no matter how strong Lin Xiao is, he’ll just be a nameless soul that died by her paws.

“Don’t be stupid, I’ll be long gone by then, how could I get caught by you? As for brother… hehe, I’m not worried about him.” Snow puffed her cheeks and replied innocently, “How would you have the heart to kill brother? You clearly like him the most!”

“L-like him? Haha.” Elena was amused, raised an eyebrow and pointed at Lin Xiao saying, “Witch, do you know what your brother did to me? My first kiss, my body, and my… hmph, I’ll make him pay sooner or later! Don’t look down on me!”

“Oh, is that so? Hehe, you really are a cute kitty cat.” Snow didn’t mind and prepared to leave the tent under Elona’s guidance.

As she was leaving, she faintly said.

“Elena, did you know? I actually really hated you. I stuffed you inside a box and used the slave contract because I wanted to bully you…”

Snow craftily smiled.

“I’m curious, if one day you lost all your pride and conceit, and kneeled on the ground bawling, what that would look like.”

“Sorry, that’s one scene that you’ll never see in your lifetime.” Elena stressed a specific word in her reply.

“Hehe, is that so? … Then, do you want to make a bet with me?”

“What bet?”

“After the tournament, even if I remove your slave contract, you’ll voluntarily stay with brother, and even if you can kill him, you wouldn’t be able to!” Snow made a prediction.

“Interesting… if it’s a bet, then there should be a stake, right?”

“How about this… if I lose, I’ll let you become my sister-in-law. If I win, then obediently be my brother’s maid for the rest of your life.” Snow left the tent with Elona and waved her hand without looking back.

“Hmph, it’s a deal!”

“Hehe, don’t regret it.”

“Who’ll regret it? I’ll win for sure… eh?”

Elena suddenly noticed something wasn’t right.

Sister-in-law if you win, and maid if you lose.

What the hell?

“Hey! Come back! Hey!”
