Chapter 238 – You Masochistic Maid

After hearing Snow’s recount, Lin Xiao blinked a couple of times and fell silent.

He couldn’t even fathom that Elena would do those kind of things when he was unconscious, so surprise was inevitable. After the shock, he felt a surge of warm emotions that he never had before filling his empty heart.

It’s the first time he experienced this strange emotion, originally, he was super upset and planned to teach his disobedient maid a lesson afterwards. But now, he couldn’t even get angry and felt like everything he did for Elena was worth it.

Even if he abandoned Shen DaiYing, even if he was almost killed by Elena, in the end, being able to receive Elena’s kiss, and her sincere tears, no matter how much truth was there in what Snow said, this rare treasure was his greatest harvest.

Even though Elena always talks about wanting to kill him, but when he was actually dying, Elena was desperate to save him.

He has received her undisguised intentions.

Trust… something they never asked for, was beginning to sprout.

“Hey, is your hand and tongue okay?”

Seeing that it was getting awkward, Lin Xiao softly spoke towards Elena.

“Hmph, I won’t die.” Elena turned her head away to avoid his gaze, using her long silver hair to hide her flushed cheeks and used a cold tone to hide her inner embarrassment.

“Elena, you…”

“Lin Xiao, don’t overthink it, the only reason I saved you was out of moral obligation!”

“Eh, moral obligation?”

“That’s right. My father taught me that as a person… uh no, as a demon, the most important thing is morality and justice, return favors and take revenge as necessary! Don’t easily spare an enemy, and never let a friend down!” Elena spoke shakily, her injured tongue made some words unclear, but it was still rather imposing.

“So?” Lin Xiao didn’t get it.

“So, we’re even! Now I don’t owe you anything… s-so doesn’t look at me with that disgusting expression!” When Elena spoke, she still didn’t look at him and there were no signs of the redness dissipating, only her putting on a show with her indifferent tone.

“Uh, so?”

“So, so…”

After being repeatedly pressed by Lin Xiao, Elena couldn’t follow up anymore. If Lin Xiao had to get tot he bottom of it and forced her to say it, wouldn’t it be so embarrassing? It was even worse than death!

“Hehe, brother, let me help her continue. Actually, what Elena wants to say is, she didn’t save you because she likes you, she also wasn’t heartbroken watching you die. Her tears were all fake, actually, she doesn’t care about you at all!”

“W-what did you say!?”

Hearing the strange things Snow said, Elena almost fainted.

“Uh… Snow, you were being sarcastic right?”

Lin Xiao obviously knew what his eccentric sister was thinking of and quickly understood what she meant and couldn’t help but get embarrassed.

“Ah, what a magnificent love!” Snow strangely sighed and placed Lin Xiao’s hand on her chest, tilted her head with a sorrowful expression like a passionate poet speaking of a poignant love story, “Ah! Monarch of the Demons, an unrivaled red-eyes black cat, fell in love with an ordinary human. Her love touched the heavens and the earth, surpassing the barriers of status and power, and even race! In order to obtain his love, she sold her sex, sold her dignity, and willingly became a lowly maid! How touching!”

“…”

“…”

“…”

Everyone was silent and stared at Snow.

“Ah! Elena, I’m so touched, I’m almost crying!”

Perhaps it was because she became use to praying towards the Goddess at the Church, and preaching towards the believers. Snow’s speaking was infectious and really did give them a sense of sorrow.

They thought that she would continue to sing praises of Elena’s greatness, but she suddenly changed the subject.

“But Elena, do you think brother would fall in love with you like that? No! Stop dreaming, that’s impossible!”

Snow suddenly tightly gripped Lin Xiao’s hand, her fingernails digging into his flesh, and she wouldn’t let go even as Lin Xiao cried out in pain.

“Hpmh! Let me tell you, brother will always be mine! You’re only worthy of being a maid, don’t think you can move up just because of your big *****! Elena, you’re a hundred years too early to steal my man!”

It seems like Snow was only singing Elena’s praised to ridicule her… her current insults were her real goal.

“Hah? W-who wants to steal your man, are you an idiot?” It was like her sore spot was hit, Elena retorted in a fluster, “Who would like a pervert like your brother? Just wait… I’ll let it go this time, but I’ll personally kill your brother next time! To make him pay for everything he did!”

“Hmph, stop posing, do you think I don’t know? You actually love being bullied by my brother, right?” Snow was also riled up, “Elena, you love it when you’re bullied right? What are you putting on pretenses for! The way I see it, you’re just a sexually frustrated cat! Looking froward to getting bullied by my brother!! You masochistic maid!”

“Masochistic maid? Y-you!!!”

Elena’s eyes were burning in anger, if it wasn’t for Elona holding her back, she would have already started something with Snow.

“Hmph, forget that female cat… brother, don’t get too smug!” After lecturing Elena, Snow targeted Lin Xiao, “Brother, I wanted Elena to be your maid so you can train her to be our ally not use her as a outlet for your needs! Can you not control your perverted impulses?”

“Uh… I didn’t?”

If it wasn’t for him being weak right now, Lin Xiao would definitely raised both limbs to deny it.

“You didn’t? Okay, then tell me who do you like more between me and Elena?”

“Neither! I like She… uh.”

Seeing Snow’s chilly face, Lin Xiao realized something was wrong and quickly swallowed his words.

“Snow… I like you!”

“Really?”

“Really! I don’t like that big breasted Demon King, or know any princess called Shen DaiYing… I only like my sister, loli Saintess is the world’s cutest!” His strong desire to live made his words flow extraordinarily smoothly.

“Hehe, that’s good, since that’s the case, brother, do you want to know why I came to look for you?”

“I do!”

“Since you want to know so badly, then I’ll reluctantly tell you, actually…”

The crisis was over, and both Elena and Lin Xiao was fine. Snow also held Lin Xiao without any tension, while quietly telling him of her recent experiences next to his ears.

Since Lin Xiao was still weak and couldn’t move, he could only obediently listen to Snow’s stories, but his mind was somewhere else.

He took advantage of the fact that Snow couldn’t see and pretended to listen while making sounds while sneaking glances at Elena trying to see her feelings. He noticed that Elena was also sneakily looking at him and when their eyes met, both their faces flushed and they quickly looked away and pretended they didn’t care.

“Brother, what’s wrong?”

“N-nothing…”

“Something’s not right… brother, were you glancing at that female cat?” Although Snow couldn’t see, but her acute sixth sense was telling her that her brother was doing something bad behind her back!

“I wasn’t! Snow, c-continue, you were imprisoned by Anderson.. and then?”

“And then…”

Snow pouted and didn’t dwell on it further, but this time she directly grabbed Lin Xiao’s head so he couldn’t look around and continued her story.

This time Lin Xiao stayed obedient and didn’t glance at Elena, but he still wasn’t in the mood to listen to Snow’s story.

Although everything ended up okay, he still didn’t know how to face Elena…

What was that overwhelming hot emotion that made him feel that it was worth it?

In order to figure it out, Lin Xiao would probably need a while in the future to let his emotions settle.

And so… Snow held her beloved brother, while Elona held her beloved aunt. They each embraced their loved ones, and acted as it the surrounding meteors and corpses had nothing to do with them.

In an unseen corner, several Lesser Devils that never left the remains turned away. And on another side, within the forest, two beautiful figures stood in the shadows silently observing everything.
