“Thirteenth Aunt?”
What the hell?
Why do you have thirteen aunts?
Okay, he didn’t mishear, it was her thirteenth aunt.
“So, why is your aunt blocking the road?”
“How would I know.”
“How’s your relationship with your aunt?”
“Okay, but we haven’t seen each other for a while.”
“What kind of cat is she, is she strong?”
“So-so.”
“How about compared to you?”
“Not as strong.”
“Uh… that’s good then.” Lin Xiao breathed out in relief.
If that’s the case, then there wasn’t much to worry about. They could just walk over and she should leave.
“Yawn… let’s take care of it quickly and we might even make it back to get some sleep.”
“It might not be that simple… don’t be careless, follow me closely.” Elena gently bit her thumb and appeared anxious, she ordered Lin Xiao to escort her in case anything happened.
They actually discussed it before coming, they could have just had Elena transform to her true form and just kill her way through the valley, that way she didn’t need Lin Xiao’s protection and it could save a lot of walking time since he could just ride on top of her like how Snow rides Elona.
Unfortunately, Elena was strongly against it.
First, she didn’t want to be ridden by Lin Xiao, it would damage her dignity. Two, according to her, even though the seal was weakened and she could forcibly transform, it was tiring and annoying, so she didn’t want to use it unless she had to. Also, with how strong Lin Xiao was, Elena felt safe with him as the bodyguard.
“Okay, don’t worry, since she’s not as strong as you, she’ll probably be obedient if you give her a good scare… she’s probably also not as strong as me, so what are you worried about?” Lin Xiao patted his chest full of confidence.
“You’re right, but…” Elena rolled her eyes and couldn’t respond.
Although she didn’t want to admit it, Lin Xiao wasn’t bragging.
With Lin Xiao’s current strength, her thirteenth aunt was indeed not a threat, and she was also helping him.
It’s just that Elena had a bad feeling, and it wouldn’t be that simple.
Her thirteenth aunt already disappeared before she was chased out of the Forest of the End, so she didn’t know whether meeting her again here was a good or bad thing.
As they walked deeper inside, the number of demonic beasts diminished and they stopped when they finally reached the end.
Even without any perception skills, Lin Xiao could tell that she was right in front of them because her noisy snoring was echoing next to him.
The two exchanged a glance and after getting Elena’s nod, Lin Xiao snapped and sent tens of balls of light to the surroundings to illuminate everything in front of them.
A mature woman with a good figure wearing tattered clothes was huddled up in the corner of the cave and was sleeping like a pig. Her snores were deafening and she even revealed half her butt and scratched it from time to time, and seemed just like a hobo.
“… You sure that’s your aunt?”
“Should, be…” Elena wasn’t confident anymore.
The woman wasn’t awoken by the lights and their discussion as she lazily flipped onto her back and continued sleeping.
Although her clothes were a mess, she didn’t look bad. Her unkempt gray hair, her drool, and she looked dirty but she had a certain charm. Even if she was lying down, the thin cloth on her chest was raised high and her fair skin could be seen through the holes in her clothes, arousing one’s imagination.
“As expected, you red-eyed black cats all have great figures, so the chest is the source of your power, right?”
The larger the chest, the stronger they were and the higher status they had in the tribe… Lin Xiao began to suspect that the standard for demon king was the size of their bust!
While Lin Xiao was excited he turned and noticed Elena’s cold gaze and quickly corrected himself.
“Uh, her figure is just okay, nowhere as good as yours. Elena, yours is the biggest, the most beautiful! These sluts can’t compare with you, even just comparing bust size, you’re the undisputed king!”
“Bust King? … Are you humiliating me?”
“No, complimenting!”
“That’s not complimenting, it’s sexual harassment.”
“How? Complimenting a girl’s breasts is the highest praise a guy can give!”
“Peh! …More like a pervert’s highest praise, right?”
While they were speaking, her thirteenth aunt was finally woken up by them and she struggled around like a turtle that couldn’t flip over. She muttered and complained about being disturbed while rubbing her eyes and slowly getting up.
Yawn…
She yawned and sat crossed legged half-asleep.
“She fell asleep while sitting, your aunt is pretty amazing, huh?”
“She’s always been like this.”
“Uh… does she like sleeping a lot?”
“She…” Elena paused and looked at Lin Xiao with a complicated expression, “She’s even lazier than you.”
“Hey, that’s rude, so what if she’s lazier than me? Why do you have to look at me like that?”
Elena’s response made him more interested in her thirteenth aunt.
He couldn’t believe that there was someone lazier than him… she wants to compete? Hmph, let’s see who’s lazier!
“Hm… forget it, I can’t be bothered.”
Truly lazy people wouldn’t bother with those meaningless comparisons!
The highest level of laziness was peace and harmony!
Seeing as how her aunt wasn’t responding, Elena walked over and greeted her.
“Thirteenth aunt? Aunt Adele?”
“Hm? Hm… what, what…”
Adele impatiently grumbled, her hair sticking to her drool and slipping inside her mouth causing her to spit a couple of times. She then scratched her head and opened her eyes to see two people in front of her.
“Elena… demon king? Why are you here? Also… hm, who are you?”
Adele raised her eyebrow when she saw them, before she could catch up with Elena, she was attracted to the black-haired youth standing next to Elena.
“Uh… nice to meet you, thirteenth aunt. I’m Elena’s master, you can call me Xiao Lin.” Lin Xiao smiled politely and nodded.
“Pervert, what did you say!?” Elena stomped on his foot angrily.
“Oww… why did you step on me? Was I wrong?”
“That’s my aunt! How can you say you’re my master?”
“So what? You’re my maid, I’m just being honest, is that wrong?”
“… Can’t you change how you say it?”
“How?”
“Just say, just say I’m your…”
“My, slave?” Lin Xiao did change the way of calling her.
“Bastard! don’t say that!”
Though it did change, it made Elena even more unsatisfied!
If it wasn’t for Lin Xiao mentioning it, she almost forgot her own standing!
She was her aunt, not a foolish human, if she found out she was reduced to a human’s slave and was obediently acting as his maid, how would her aunt see her?
Whether it be ridicule or shock, it wouldn’t be anything good! A demon king becoming a human’s maid… it was a joke!
“Hey, you two…”
Adele didn’t get what they were fighting about and stood up while yawing, not yet fully awake.
“Hm? Demon King… your clothes, why is it a maid outfit?”
“No! Aunt, this isn’t a maid outfit! I-I’m not this pervert’s maid, don’t misunderstand, these clothes is just… just… tsk! What are you smiling at? Stop smiling!” Elena glanced around nervously and even wanted to take off her clothes. When she looked up and saw Lin Xiao’s infuriating smile, she became even angrier!
“Elena, what are you afraid of? Our relationship is going to be public sooner or later, what was that saying… even ugly daughters-in-law must meet their parents-in-law, so as the master, isn’t it normal for me to greet your elders?”
“Peh! Shameless, who’s the ugly daughter-in-law? Are you worthy?”
“No matter what you say, you’re my maid, your aunt’s already seen it.”
“Then I’ll just kill you!”
“The seven-hundred and ninety-ninth time… one more time and you can make it eight hundred.”
“You!? Aunt! Don’t listen to him, actually I, I…”
Since she couldn’t take care of Lin Xiao, she could only count on taking care of her aunt. Before Elena could explain, she felt something off about her aunt.
Actually, she already noticed it outside before, based on her magic radar, it was indeed her thirteenth aunt Adele, but her aura was strange and there was something unknown mixed in.
Could it be a fake?
Impossible, her magic radar wouldn’t be tricked so easily, but…
Elena was serious and looked at Lin Xiao, he understood and tossed a harmless ball of light over Adele’s head.
Swoosh…
The milky white light flashed by Adele and Elena instantly became on guard.
“Aunt.. why are you?”
