Chapter 5 – Demon King’s Broadness

Loran Academy

“Hey, I heard that Lin Xiao’s magic power also broke through the third-level. He tied for first with Caesar on yesterday’s test!”

“I’ve also heard…strange, why didn’t Lin Xiao come today?”

“The way I see it, he’s scared to come because he has a guilty conscience!”

“Guilty conscience?”

“He was only beginner second-level on last month’s test. How could he have possibly broken through 3 stages in just one month? He must have cheated!”

“Seriously?”

The disturbance from yesterday’s test still continued. The teacher had not come yet so the classroom was chaotic and noisy.

A young girl with long pink hair stood behind another teenager, her head lowered, her fingers crossed, she wanted to say something but hesitated.

“Caesar, I, I…”

“What is it Rosie?” asked the teenager sitting in his seat. Sharp piercing eyebrows, a dignified appearance and was half a head taller than Rosie. He was the very definition of a handsome guy.

He’s the fifth prince of Lombard Kingdom, the strongest first year student in the magic department at Loran Academy, Caesar Alex!

Seeing his handsome face and dashing golden short hair, Rosie took a step back, unconsciously removed her sight and her voice became almost inaudible.

“Yesterday, yesterday’s test…I was an upper second-level!” Rosie said, biting her lip.

“Oh, are you?” Caesar nodded absentmindedly, “Oh, amazing.”

“The teacher said I can break through the third level next month…”

“Oh, is that so, um, do your best.”

“That, Caesar! I…” Rosie clutching her right hand in her left wanted to say something but wasn’t brave enough to say it.

“What’s wrong?”

“I……”

“Rosie, the teacher is coming. Is there anything else?” Caesar urged.

Damn, Rosie oh Rosie, hurry up and say what you wanted to say! If you don’t, how can he understand?

Rosie, who was full of turmoil, finally braved herself and raised her head. She decided to speak out her heart. However, when her and Caesar’s eyes met each other, she completely forgot the words she prepared.

Caesar still had that cool look, and his eyes were always still looking at her. But she kept feeling that Caesar seemed to be looking behind her and into the distance. She didn’t exist in Caesar’s line of sight.

Sure enough, I still can’t do it…

“No, nothing, I will continue to work hard!” Rosie shook her head, pretending to smile.

She no longer wanted to bother the other party. She buried her grievances in her heart, dragged her tired body back to her seat and quietly waited for class to start.

What was the point of all the hard work I put in this month? Wasn’t it just so that I could walk into his line of sight? But why am I unable to say it?

Rosie was vexed by her cowardliness.

No, no, not her cowardice, no matter how hard she tries now she wouldn’t be able to get Caesar’s attention. There’s currently only one person in Caesar’s mind — Lin Xiao!

Rosie was again angered when thinking of Lin Xiao.

Caesar was very prideful. He was always first place for the tests in the magic department, but this time he actually suffered a defeat and Lin Xiao grabbed the limelight. He is definitely very angry! Rosie believed that the reason why Caesar was so cold to her is because of that Lin Xiao!

Who’s Lin Xiao? The most unremarkable person in the magic department. He has some talent and his level was always around the middle of the academic year . Usually, he appear to be very clever and obedient. With the exception of being somewhat lazy, he is pretty much the role model of a good student in the teacher’s hearts. She didn’t know why but Rosie felt unpleasant watching him.

She couldn’t explain the reason, Rosie believed that Lin Xiao was a guy without any motivation. Although he was very hard-working and he acted that way, but Rosie believed that he is absolutely lazy to his bones!

Damn Lin Xiao, how can he be the same as Caesar and breakthrough to the third-level? How can he progress so quickly? Don’t tell me he really cheated?

If emotions had power, Rosie’s anger will certainly tear Lin Xiao into tiny pieces.

She made up her mind that she definitely had to look into this matter or else it will not end!

“Everyone quiet down please, class has started!” The white-haired teacher, Woos, stood in front of the podium and slammed the thick textbook down. The heavy noise spread throughout the classroom.

All the students kept quiet out of fear and sat behaved in their own seats.

“Did Lin Xiao not come today? Heee…” Woos sighed helplessly, spread open the textbook, ready to teach today’s course.

“Today we’ll continue to talk about ‘The Study of the Demon King’s Personality and Power Level’ Rosie, what kind of existence is the demon king?”

“Eh?” Rosie was still thinking about Lin Xiao when she was suddenly called on. She could only stand up in a panic and answered. “I, I haven’t seen the Demon King yet.”

“Guess.”

“Then, I guess the demon king should be very ugly?” Rosie weakly answer.

“Ha ha ha!”

No one expected Rosie to give that kind of answer. They all laughed and even Caesar couldn’t help but look back and pay respect to her new ideas.

Rosie awkwardly opened her mouth, her face a deep shade of crimson.

“Un, Rosie, you’re right. Of course, the demon king is ugly in terms of human aesthetics, but that’s only one aspect.” Teacher Woods also smiled and nodded, motioning Rosie to sit down. “Regarding the demon king, according to the previous hero’s dictation, the demon king is a terribly cruel monster, with a revolting appearance, and the power to destroy the world. It kills and kills, hates humans, and feeds on living people. It is very barbarous. So, we as students of Loran Academy, must do our best for humanity…”

……

at the same time

Lin Xiao’s home

After some struggling, Lin Xiao finally accepted the melodramatic reality.

Fortunately, the demon sealing boundary completely sealed Elena’s power. At the same time, it also hid the Demonic atmosphere on her body. This way, Elena became an ordinary girl. People of the Holy Church also won’t be able to follow her aura and enter the house shouting ‘burn the heretic’. For Lin Xiao, this was great news.

He finally didn’t have to worry about becoming barbecued on the cross.

At first, Lin Xiao thought that Elena was going to make a big disturbance, but he didn’t expect her to be very cooperative and soon accepted the reality. I guess it made sense, even though she’s the demon king, she’s now but a fish on a butcher’s board. It was already extremely benevolent of Lin Xiao that he didn’t strip her naked, so that she couldn’t make a fuss.

After calming down, Lin Xiao finally got a good look at Elena’s appearance. In addition to her pretty complexion, what surprised Lin Xiao the most was her elegant and refined temperament.

Ironically, the demon king in human form is even more pure and elegant than humans. Elena’s cold face carried extraordinary arrogance and holiness. Lin Xiao had a misperception that if he gave Elena a gorgeous white robe and said that she was the Goddess of the Holy Church, people would believe him.

As for this “Goddess,” he can’t kill her, he can’t drive her away, and the two also signed a slave contract. Then, it might not be a bad idea for her to become his maid — Lin Xiao’s gears began turning again.

Of course, he firmly refused to admit that he was infatuated by Elena’s beautiful appearance.

After being single for so many years, he was missing a maid who could cook, act cute and warm his bed. If he sheltered Elena and then let her take care of his life, it was a win-win situation.

He just didn’t know whether the arrogant demon king would obediently become a maid.

“Human, what did you want to ask me?” Elena sat down indifferently, silently waiting for Lin Xiao’s interrogation.

Although falling into the hands of a human made her very unwilling, but this guy named Lin Xiao was a strange fellow. He didn’t kill her and had no hostility towards her, which made her feel a lot more relieved.

However, Elena always felt that Lin Xiao’s eyes had been sweeping across her chest as if coveting something.

(Cough) Lin Xiao quickly withdrew his line of sight.

After our first meeting, if I were to say what were the good points of this demon king. It is of course her broad-minded heart/chest – in all kinds of sense, is very big.

Elena’s smooth and round bulges appeared swollen and bursting while being wrapped by the T-shirt, it was on the verge of collapsing, it made Lin Xiao’s heart sway. He even had the wicked idea of supporting it and lifting it with both his hands and gently rubbing it….

“Eh, I’m so hungry.” Lin Xiao rubbed his stomach to conceal his awkwardness.

He hasn’t eaten anything since last night, coupled with magical overdraft, he was dizzy and muddy and he couldn’t fill his belly just by looking at balls. He heated some hot porridge and roasted chicken legs that he left yesterday, Lin Xiao placed the food on the table and prepared to watch the balls while eating… Uh no, it was eating while interrogating the demon king.

During this period of time, Elena was engrossed in observing the furnishings in Lin Xiao’s room. The furniture and floor that she had damaged was piled together by Lin Xiao. Since he didn’t have time to tidy up yet, the narrow room was even messier.

“Demon king, since you’re not leaving, there are a few things that I must ask.” Lin Xiao stuffed his face into the bowl of porridge and began eating. “I feel like that you are not quite the same as how the book describes you. Demon king, shouldn’t you have the power to destroy the world?”

“It’s not that exaggerated. I only recently took up the position of the demon king, and I can’t skillfully use my full power, and … and I was injured before, so I did not completely inherit the primogenitor’s power.” Elena absentmindedly answered.

It seemed like this human, Lin Xiao, did not intend to share his food with her. She could only impatiently stare at the oily and steaming roast chicken legs in the plate and lick her lips.

“What’s the power of the primogenitor?” Lin Xiao drank a large mouthful of porridge and felt a lot more comfortable.

“It’s probably about the same as the strength of the hero’s holy sword.”

“Eh, aren’t you too casual.”

Lin Xiao probably had a plan.

In any case, the demon king’s power to destroy the world really existed. If Elena had complete mastery the power of the primogenitor, the demon sealing boundary definitely couldn’t have bound her. As far as the current situation is concerned, Lin Xiao was lucky enough to have picked her up. He used the incompetent demon sealing boundary and caught the incompetent demon king.

Fate was too wonderful for words.

“Next question.” Lin Xiao grabbed a chicken leg and took a huge bite. “Demon king, do you hate humanity? Do you want to kill all the humans and rule the world?”

This is the question that Lin Xiao wanted to ask the most.

Looking at the happy expression he had while eating the chicken leg, Elena prevented her saliva from flowing out.

For a hungry person, a soft, delicious, juicy roasted chicken leg is the most delicious food in the world. Elena was even more miserable than Lin Xiao. She hadn’t eaten anything since she was put inside the box. She even forgot when she had last eaten.

So what if I’m the demon king? The demon king will also get hungry!
