Chapter 243 – In Every Sense of the Word

Lin Xiao never planned to put on such a corny play, but he had no choice.

Snow told him earlier that she already sent the signal for the Crucifix Guards, so all he had to do was silently wait.

Of course, Lin Xiao was happy to wait to get picked up, but something else made him get busy again.

Don’t forget, Caesar and Rosie were still unconscious at the silver vault, and the Lesser Devils weren’t all dead yet!

Without Anderson’s control, these monsters revealed their brutal side, some ran wildly towards the forest, the others returned to the silver vault, seemingly wanting to kill Caesar and Rosie.

This was a big deal, so he had to pick up his battered body and continue to work.

After his short meeting with Snow, they each left to do their own things.

Snow took Elona to chase the Lesser Devils that escaped, and Lin Xiao staggered away with Elena’s support.

They were still cordial when Snow was there, but when they were alone and in so close proximity, the atmosphere became ambiguous.

After what happened, they still haven’t found a new way to interact with each other. Their old relationship had been completely broken down, but the new one hadn’t been established yet, so now it was just awkward.

Sobbing, confession, pouring out one’s heart, if the slave contract was why they would never be able to trust each other, then this incident was a chance to let trust sprout between them.

Lin Xiao finally knew that Elena wasn’t willing to have him die, and Elena realized that she couldn’t steel herself to kill him, she even shed tears and bled for him…

Let alone Elena, if this was a day ago, Lin Xiao would never believe it either.

Elena would cry and self-harm for him? Don’t be foolish, Lin Xiao wouldn’t even dream about that happening, but in the end…

In the end, it wasn’t a dream, or a hallucination, Elena was supporting him right now. Although her expression was still as cold as ever, but there was a trace of gentleness in her eyes.

How nice would it be if Elena was just a normal maid?

With such a maid, what more could a man ask for?

“What are you looking at? Pervert!” Feeling his gaze, Elena pulled the fabric at her chest tighter, wanting to evade his peeping, but it had the opposite effect, not only did it not cover it, it shook more violently because of her movements.

Currently, Lin Xiao had one arm over her shoulder, and half his body was leaning against her. The two couldn’t get any closer, Lin Xiao could even smell the faint scent of her body.

“Hey, you’re not thinking of something dirty, right?”

“What? Get over yourself! Do you think you’re that beautiful? Dumb cat.” He subconsciously retorted her, but regretted it after saying it.

Usually he would laugh in these kind of situations, so why did he have to deny it?

Unless, he, towards Elena…

When thinking about that, Lin Xiao suddenly had an uncomfortable feeling. He felt his cheeks grow hot, but he still pretended to be calm.

And like so, they headed towards the remains awkwardly with neither one speaking to each other.

Because of her unique red eyed black cat bloodline, Elena had strong recovery abilities, so she was able to barely support Lin Xiao’s body.

“Strange, what’s going on?”

Perhaps it was because the remains were almost completely destroyed, Elena was able to use her perception skill within a small radius. While they were walking she suddenly noticed strange magic fluctuations.

She exchanged a glance with Lin Xiao, and he understood without her having to say anything.

And so, the two picked up their pace and headed in towards the familiar cave, finding Caesar and Rosie.

Other than them, there were four other idiots, two Bamboo Academy members by the entrance, and the other two siblings were huddling in a corner. Even if they were unconscious, they still gave off the appearance of intimate brother and sister.

These two really love showing their affection for each other, they don’t even forget to hug each other even when unconscious… damn, since you love each other so much, just go get married! As long as there’s love, it doesn’t matter if you’re siblings, right?

Of course that was just Lin Xiao ridiculing them inside his heart, not actually wanting them to commit incest…

When they walked into the cave, to their surprise, there were three Lesser Devil corpses in front of Yao Zi… no, those weren’t corpses, but exploded pieces of meat!

The bodies of the Lesser Devils underwent enhancements and modifications so it was very hard, but now it was just a pile of disgusting flesh, so you could imagine how strong the person who finished them off was!

So who was the one who did this?

“Hey, did you find anything…”

Lin Xiao seemed to notice something and turned to glance at Elena. When he got a similar look back, they couldn’t help but let out a breath.

Tacit agreement, Elena and him had a strange tacit agreement, Lin Xiao could read Elena even without opening their mouths.

The truly scary problem wasn’t the Lesser Devils, but the surroundings.

Because of the large amounts of silver leaf fruits, the cave should’ve been abundant with magic power, but now the entire was completely depleted! Lin Xiao couldn’t even feel a speck of magic power as he stood there. Even the fruits were dull and out of light, like someone used a method to forcibly extract all the magic power in the surroundings.

… It’s like a fantasy story.

“No, it isn’t a fantasy.” Even if Lin Xiao didn’t speak, Elena could tell what he was thinking and explained, “If I’m not wrong, the one who finished off those three Lesser Devils should be that girl called Yao Zi!”

“Her?” Lin Xiao scratched his head and couldn’t believe it.

Yao Zi was only a fifth-level magician and didn’t get magic at all, not even able to successfully complete a magic circle, that he knew.

If she said it was Lin Tian that caused it by manifesting his powers as the protagonist, then it might be possible, but Yao Zi? Impossible.

“Lin Xiao, did you forget? I said before that Yao Zi was very strange.” Elena supported Lin Xiao over and squatted next to them inspecting their wounds, “Lin Tian’s body is full of fractures, but Yao Zi doesn’t have a single injury, this already proves everything… it was her that defeated the Lesser Devils.”

“But how?”

“Don’t ask me, I don’t know either.”

Elena rolled her eyes and causally touched Yao Zi’s hand, and the progenitor’s power felt something and made her agitated.

Feeling this slight change, Elena suddenly realized something.

“Although I don’t know how she did it, but I know, why she was able to do it.”

“Oh? Could she be a high-level demon like you?” Lin Xiao joked without any worry, but was speechless when he heard what Elena said.

“She isn’t, she’s even more impressive than a high-level demon. Lin Xiao, this woman has the Wizard’s bloodline.”

“Wizard’s bloodline.”

Those two simple words were enough to make Lin Xiao flabbergasted.

That was a rarely seen bloodline that existed in history books, a legend past down by word of mouth. Lin Xiao only saw a record about it a long time ago in the Loran Academy library, and thought it was something fabricated by the people.

He never actually thought there would actually be a bugged existence like the Wizard’s bloodline!

“But, it seems like she herself hasn’t noticed yet, and she hasn’t fully awakened her bloodline.” Elena added on.

Thankfully, Yao Zi was an idiot, so she didn’t know what kind of terrifying innate talent she held.

Based on a conservative estimate, once Yao Zi fully awakens, he would have quite a tough time dealing with her even in perfect condition, he would definitely be forced to go all out.

“Eh? Wait a second… what? That damn Lin Tian plundered out points while taking advantage of this situation?”

Lin Xiao noticed that Caesar’s crystal was plundered, and was on the verge of a violent outburst, but he suddenly wasn’t angry anymore.

“Since the crystal was plundered, then that means teacher Woos and them will be coming… damn, how could I forget that!”

In order to save Elena, he wantonly cast twenty times Flaming Meteor at the entrance of the remains, although it felt good at the time, it caused irreparable consequences and damage.

Did he have to confess and just say that he was actually hiding his strength?

“No, no… even if we don’t win, I definitely cant reveal that!”

He glanced at the siblings with his small eyes and suddenly thought of something.

“Since you two lucky bastars stole my points, then it’s only fair to become my scapegoat, right?”

Loran Academy was no match for the terrifying Lesser Devils, Babmoo Acadmey siblings save prince from peril… a very logical and flawless story was taking shape in his mind.

Hero, demon killer, the genius magician that dared to go against Venus society.
