Chapter 328 – Did I Say Something Wrong?

ShenDai Ying saw Lin Xiao’s serious gaze and her mind ran wild.

What did he want her to do?

Don’t hurt Elena?

Maybe, Lin Xiao did care about his maid a lot after all, and she didn’t have a normal identity, she was a demon! As a killer from Shen Yue Ge, it was normal for Lin Xiao to be vigilant.

Or maybe, don’t hurt Yao Zi?

Also possible, since her mission target was Yao Zi, Lin Xiao must have guessed it. When they reach Gotham Kingdom and as they gradually continue on with the mission, there might be some unexpected conflict where she suddenly turns her sword towards Yao Zi, making his position very difficult.

I mean she was a detestable assassin after all.

“Sister Ying, I want you to promise me… no matter what your mission is, I hope you won’t endanger yourself, always choose to live, don’t throw your life away like before… can you promise me that?”

“What?”

“Sigh, I saw you fighting without regard with your life before… I cant stop you every time, if something happens, I’ll be hurt, so please don’t do that anymore.”

“That…”

ShenDai Ying never expected him to say anything like that at all.

Unexpected yet also made sense out of worry, so to Lin Xiao, her identity wasn’t important at all, it was her!

“Lin Xiao, I…”

All her worries melted into relief, she couldn’t hold herself back anymore as she ran over and threw herself at him.

This was the outskirts anyways, she didn’t have to worry about anyone else seeing no matter how intimate she got with Lin Xiao.

If she was happy, Lin Xiao was naturally also happy.

When he thought about how the upcoming journey was with ShenDai Ying, he felt elated. He originally thought it would be annoying, but now he couldn’t wait to set off and enjoy the time together.

No matter how unclear their relationship was and how far away from true happiness they were, wasn’t it nice to enjoy the present?

They might have been happy, but as for the others, not so much…

Watching them hug each other, Elena’s expression grew colder as she regretted it. She was an idiot, actually letting those two freely flirt.

Elena closed her eyes, if she can’t see it, then she wont be bothered.

Unfortunately, she couldn’t stop other people from not looking.

“Brother, what’s going on?”

Yao Zi blushed and didn’t understand the situation, and could only lean by her brother’s ear and ask.

“Oh… those two, have a good relationship.”

As Xiao Tian truthfully respond he noticed a certain maid’s eyebrows twitched.

“But brother, isn’t that woman the Great Qin empire’s princess, ShenDai Ying?”

“Yes.”

“Isn’t she prince Caesar’s fiancée?”

“Yes.”

“Then why is shy hugging Lin Xiao?”

He thought about his words and said it in a way so that Yao Zi could understand while lowering his volume, afraid someone else would hear.

The unfortunate thing was the demon king had sharp ears and could still hear him, making her clench her jaws.

Xiao Tian didn’t notice at all and was still discussing it with his sister.

“Sigh, I’m so jealous of him, he actually got princess ShenDai Ying’s good graces.”

“ShenDai Ying… is she that good?” Yao Zi pouted and was slightly jealous.

“Of course! Princess ShenDai Ying is beautiful and gentle, the men that like her in Winterless City could fill the palace, don’t even mention how many admirers she would have at home… those beautiful legs are most important, slender and proportionate, and also the black stockings and high heels she likes to wear, there’s no man who wouldn’t like her!”

“So you guys all like that kind of woman? I don’t like that, it just feels… too uninhibited!”

The demon king nodded, in agreement with her views.

“So brother, you wouldn’t also happen to like her, right?”

Yao Zi was still a girl and was especially sensitive at times like these.

“Eh? I, I-I-I…” Xiao Tian stammered as he denied it, “O-of course not… I mean she already has that kind of relationship with brother Xiao and would never look at me, so I…”

“Hmph, you boys are so strange! She’s already someone’s fiancée, yet you’re still thinking about that, how perverted… actually you just like her beautiful face and those legs, right!”

“Uh, is that so? But I think brother Xiao is different, that’s probably true love.”

“Hah? You never even had a relationship before or even held a girl’s hand, how would you know that’s true love?”

“Uh, sis, that’s so hurtful… also, aren’t you the same? You’re not much better than me!”

“Ha?” Y-you stinking brother, although not, b-b-but I’m still a girl! Girls understand other girls!”

“Tsk, sophistry, that’s just bullshit!” Xiao Tian stuck his tongue out at his sister’s nonsensical arguments and got back onto topic, “I think those two suit each other, brother Xiao is much better than Caesar!”

“Really? But I just feel that if it’s him, he can make her happy.”

Although he never dated anyone and didn’t know what true love was, but he grew up without his parents and seen all kinds of people, so he had some understanding.

The key was in their eyes.

Brother Xiao was also a man, so he definitely liked those aspects of her, but the way he looked at her was different to all those other men.

More direct, more pure, more tolerant and generous… he wasn’t looking at a beautiful girl, but someone he loved, someone he had to protect, to take care of.

“How nice, you have to be happy…”

Xiao Tian also felt pleased that he could find love, but on the other hand, Yao Zi didn’t look so good, and felt jealous of that foreign princess.

But Xiao Tian was only focused on talking with his sister, and completely forgot that someone else could hear him!

And that person was Elena!

“Xiao Tian, what did you just say?”

“Ah?”

Xiao Tian looked towards that icy voice and saw Elena glaring at him.

“Um sorry, miss maid, w-what did you just ask me?”

Lin Tian unconsciously became more respectful.

It couldn’t be helped, the pressure Elena gave off was too overbearing. Those blood-red eyes emanated a strange aura, and made one feel danger, like they were caught in the eyes of a predator.

“I asked you, what did you just say!?”

“Uh… I-I said that it was nice that brother Xiao found true love.”

“No, not that, the one before.”

“Before? Uh… I said that I think brother Xiao is better than Caesar.”

“…”

Elena’s eyebrows twitched, suppressing her anger and continued to ask.

“Before that!”

“Uh…”

Lin Tian was flabbergasted, Yao Zi who was next to him was also scared. The two looked at each other and then he carefully replied.

“I said… Lin Xiao and ShenDai Ying suit each other, it’s true love.” Lin Tian quietly said.

“Un, that’s the one… so you’re saying that they should get married?”

“… I-I guess? Is there a problem?”

“Hm, very good. Xiao Tian, come here.”

“Ah?”

Lin Tian obediently took a step forward and stood in front of her when he saw her beckoning.

“Spread your arms!” Elena ordered.

“Oh.”

“Stand up straight!”

“Oh.”

“Xiao Tian, I hate you.” Elena suddenly said coldly.

“Ah? Why? D-did I do something wrong?”

“Because your words made me angry.”

“Which words? That brother Xiao and ShenDai Ying should get married?”

“Heh… and yet you repeated it again, now I’m infuriated.”

Elena squinted and calmly spoke.

“Xiao Tian, I don’t want to kill you, but…”

Pow!

Elena gathered all her strength and anger into her fist and slammed it into Lin Tian’s stomach.

He held his stomach and knelt down, if it wasn’t for his sister supporting him, he would be rolling on the ground already.

“Nice!” Elena shook her head, her silver hair swaying in the wind and her mood drastically improved.

Letting Lin Xiao and ShenDai Ying get married? Hmph, she would never allow something like that to happen!
