Elena already lost all hope so she didn’t have any resentment or anger.
She was too naive, too pure, she should have never believed in Lin Xiao, so becoming a slave was her own fault, she couldn’t blame anyone else.
She was a demon and Lin Xiao was a human, their relationship from the start was abnormal, they would have fought sooner or later, she was too foolish not to remember that.
She already prepared for the worst-case scenario, in her eyes Lin Xiao was already no better than those worthless lechers, so she would accept whatever Lin Xiao did to her.
That’s right, Lin Xiao was her enemy from now on!
Elena would never beg for mercy from her enemies, nor would she expect kindness. Even though she was constrained at the moment, she would endure everything and wait for them to let up and then give them a fatal strike and turn everything around!
When she said she would kill Lin Xiao before, those were just angry words… but this time she wouldn’t hold back!
She would think of a way to kill off this lecher and then escape back to the forest of the end to reunite with her clansmen.
She was already resolved, so why? Why does Lin Xiao keep messing up her plans by doing something unexpected?
What about using me as he liked?
Using my breasts to serve him?
But now you’re here holding me gently and trembling, a man choking with sobs next to me… what kind of bullying is this?
Can you please have some discipline as an actor? Play out the entire one first! Earlier you were just acting like the villainous pervert, and now you’re acting sentimental, it’s two different scripts!
More importantly… now that he’s apologizing, h-how can she still have the resolve to treat him as an enemy? If he’s not an enemy, how could she endure? Wouldn’t she go back to being the useless maid that argues with him all day again?
“Lin Xiao, w-what are you doing? How do you want to trick me now?”
Elena was doubting him, but her unconsciously calling him Lin Xiao instead of master told of her wavering heart.
A simple name change made Lin Xiao’s heart warm up and feel a lot better.
“Elena, I-I… I actually…”
Lin Xiao caressed Elena’s arms as he gently hugged her soft body, he wanted to say something, but it couldn’t come out.
Every time he swallowed his words, he got backed up more and hugged Elena tighter, but this action made him want to speak, but every time he opened his mouth, he still couldn’t say it, and this kept repeating.
The only thing was that he hugged her too tight and almost choked her.
“Pervert! Does it feel good to squeeze my breasts that tightly? Be more gentle… I-I almost can’t breathe.”
Only at times like these, Elena’s ample bosom was a hindrance.
There was still a large gap between them, but it was completely filled with her chest as it was squashed out against the both of them, suffocating them a bit.
“Uh… s-sorry.”
Lin Xiao quickly let her go and scratched his head, then suddenly realized that he should have continued to enjoy it, but it was too late.
Since he gave up the perverted master script and chose to be honest, then that delicious booby… was destined to have no relations with him.
Lin Xiao regrettably pursed his lips and then simply turned around while secretly wiping some tears from the corners of his eyes. If he couldn’t see it, then he couldn’t be enticed.
“Cough… Elena, d-don’t be angry, I was just kidding with you earlier.”
“Just kidding?”
“I didn’t actually want you to reveal your chest, I just wanted to scare you… even if you can’t resist, I-I never thought about bullying you!”
“Really?”
“Uh, r-really…”
“It seems like it’s not that you didn’t think about it, but you’re just not brave enough to do it, right?”
“Uh, okay I admit, I thought about it, but I definitely wouldn’t do it!”
“Hmph, only an idiot would believe you.” Elena’s tone was cold, but her expression was much more relaxed than before.
So… who’s that idiot who’s believing in Lin Xiao again?
“Lin Xiao, I only care about this damn collar… you said that it could be taken off?”
“Yeah, once it’s taken off, the effects of the demon sealing would completely disappear, like a switch.”
“… Completely disappear?”
If the effect completely disappears, then that means she could use her full strength! Although it was still incomparable to her father and couldn’t match up to the power of a true ‘demon king’, it was still an invincible power compared to where she’s at now!
As long as she takes off the collar, she could become a true ‘monarch’ and wouldn’t be bullied by anyone! At that time, Lin Xiao can’t do anything to her, just thinking about it made her feel great!
But the question was, would Lin Xiao really just help her take it off?
Elena poured cold water all over herself when she thought about that question.
She still didn’t understand why Lin Xiao didn’t take advantage of her. He liked her breast so much but gave up, so she could only think he was cowardly. But counting on him to take off her collar was just delusional.
If their positions were swapped, she would never help to take it off, because it would be akin to dying!
Though she said she would do her all to help Lin Xiao and they reached an agreement, once the collar was off, Lin Xiao would lose the means to suppress her. It was a transaction that was high risk with no reward, so there was no way Lin Xiao would agree.
Transaction?
Elena suddenly saw through Lin Xiao’s thoughts.
The reason he didn’t take advantage of her was surely to continue having her help him! He also purposely told her that the collar could be taken off to give her hope, to tell her to continue helping him so that he may one day help her take it off.
The carrot and the stick, how calculative.
“Hm, I understand.”
Elena didn’t want to waste any more time with him and turned to leave.
“Where are you going?”
“Claire is already making preparations to leave, I’m going to get ready to leave… don’t worry Lin Xiao, as long as you don’t do anything shameless to me, I’ll keep my promise to continue to help you. So, please don’t use those tricks, it’s disgusting.”
“Tricks? Uh…”
It was as Elena was thinking, but it wasn’t his idea. That was what Snow taught him. Snow was worried that Elena wouldn’t want to help after being collared, so this was what Snow recommended him to do.
Treating Elena as free labor, it does sound like something Snow would do, but it wasn’t what Lin Xiao wanted.
She thought that Lin Xiao wouldn’t get anything out of taking off her collar, but Lin Xiao didn’t think that way.
Her trust, her sincerity, her smile, those were all priceless treasures to him!
“Elena, d-don’t go yet!”
Lin Xiao quickly caught up and stopped her by her arm and pulled her back.
“What? Or are you going to tease me again?”
Elena frowned and glanced at him with disdain.
“It’s actually easy to open the collar, you just have to hold the chain and recite an incantation in your head.”
“Oh, okay.” Elena nodded her head.
She didn’t want to hear any more of this drivel. She didn’t bother hiding her annoyance and turned to leave but was pulled back again!
“What do you want!?”
“I want to tell you the incantation.”
“Stop wasting my time, I need to get ready to leave, otherwise… hm? Wait! What did you just say?”
“I said, I want to tell you the incantation to take off the collar.”
“Why?”
“Uh, are you dumb? Why else, so you can take it off yourself.”
