“Lin Xiao, I’ll give you a chance, choose how you want to die.”
When she finally powered up again, how could she not put on a show?
Unfortunately, it was Yellowstone and there weren’t many live people around, if it was Winterless city, she would order Lin Xiao to find a band to play music to celebrate the demon king’s revival!
Dang, dang, dang!
The eighty-ninth demon king, Elena has now been re-enthroned, everyone claps and throws flowers!
Clap, clap, clap… but there was only pitiful applause.
That’s because the only one clapping was Lin Xiao.
“Pervert, what are you clapping for? I’m telling you to choose how you want to die, be serious!”
Elena glared at him and cleared her throat while trying to appear intimidating, but her tail and ears kept moving nonstop, speaking of her inner delight.
Watching her cuteness while she tries to act serious, Lin Xiao only lazily responded, “Oh great demon king, did you forget? Although the demon sealing effect is gone, the slave contract still exists, so you still cant kill me.”
“Oh right!”
Elena suddenly realized and nodded her head.
“Then I’ll tie you up and I won’t let you take a piss/shit until it suffocates you!”
“Uh, that’s a bit much.” Lin Xiao was quite amused and almost laughed, but purposely said the opposite.
Elena was quite innocent if that method was the worst she could come up with, Lin Xiao could easily think of numerous torturous methods that would make one beg for death. In comparison, Elena’s method could be called kind.
A kind demon king… who would believe that?
“Elena, although you’re strong now, but you still might not beat me. If you want to tie me up, then we still have to fight first and decide a victor.” Lin Xiao yawned and lazily said, “Why not we go out and try it now?”
“Hmph! I-I won’t fight with you! You’re so crafty like I’ll fall for it!” Elena’s will weakened a bit after Lin Xiao’s firm response, but she didn’t want to show weakness so she could only posture and reject his challenge.
But… what should she do next?
She finally got her strength back, but Lin Xiao is still so arrogant, she had to think of a way to force Lin Xiao to submit to her!
That was the only way she can vent and get revenge!
“Oh, I know! Since I can’t kill you, I can still kill other people!” Elena clapped her hand and her furry tail stood up with excitement.
“Don’t you like that vixen princess? … Then I’ll go kill ShenDai Ying right now!”
“I can’t let you touch Sister Ying, but… ” Lin Xiao firmly stated his stance, but he nonchalantly leaned back against his chair and crossed his legs, “But… who knows if you can even get a single strand of her hair.”
“Are you looking down on me? Don’t be dumb, no matter how strong your sister Ying is, she can’t beat me!”
“That’s right, she can’t, but with her experience, she’s extremely quick and her aura is almost nonexistent… not only can you not catch her but if the perception skill that you take pride in cant even find her, how would you kill her?”
“Right… tsk, how annoying.”
Elena thought she could use ShenDai Ying to force Lin Xiao to submit, but it didnt work, so she had to find another way.
“T-then I’ll go kill Snow! She’s your little sister and you’re that worried about her, how about that!”
But Lin Xiao still wasn’t taking it.
“Snow? Okay then, hurry up and go!” Lin Xiao urged her with eyes of anticipation.
“Elena, to be honest, Snow has been itching to fight you! If you go after her, she’ll have an excuse to request the Crucifix guards from the old man and think of a way to bring them to her side while extending her reach to the eleven saints congregation… if you fight her, you’ll be helping her grab power!”
“Hah?”
Helping that little devil? There’s no way she would do that!
ShenDai Ying and Snow, why can’t she touch either of them… then who else can she use to threaten Lin Xiao?
“Then… then I’ll kill Claire! It seems like you like that tomboy!”
“Sorry, I don’t, you can do whatever you like to her.”
“Hey!? Why such a different treatment? Don’t you feel sorry for her?”
“Uh, that won’t work on me either.”
“T-then I’ll kill Caesar, and Rosie, and… I’ll kill everyone you know! Now you’re scared, right?”
“Crazy cat…”
Lin Xiao was already numb to her threats, he rolled his eyes and then rested his chin on his hands like he fell asleep.
No, this wasn’t how it was supposed to be! What about her long-awaited revenge?
“I’m really going to kill them!”
“…”
Elena continued to threaten him and he still continued to pretend to be asleep which made her almost throw the collar at Lin Xiao out of anger.
She thought he would obediently submit, or quarrel with her, who would have thought that pervert would just leave her alone with some neglect play!?
Why was it like this? She already got her strength back, why is it that she still can’t do anything?
But then again, what was the point of killing all of Lin Xiao’s friends and family?
Lin Xiao trusted her and took off the collar, but she turned against him and wanted to kill him indiscriminately… she’s also heard the story about the farmer and the snake, now it was her turn, how laughable.
After hesitating for a while, Elena finally calmed down. She glanced at Lin Xiao and saw that he was still in the same spot, so she could only move a chair and sat across from him.
“What should I do next?” She quietly mumbled, either to herself or she was asking Lin Xiao.
But there was no response.
She was Lin Xiao’s maid for so long, now that she finally got her strength back as she wanted, she didn’t know what to do.
She was always forced to listen to Lin Xiao’s orders but now that he wasn’t ordering her, she was helpless and had no ideas.
Was she conditioned into a slave? Probably not… Elena shuddered at her own idea.
Whether it was being at a loss or vengeance, after Elena vented, there was one thing left to do…
“Don’t worry, I won’t harm them, I was just angry earlier. We demons aren’t brutal savages, we’re much more civilized than humans, there’s no limit to how low you guys go.”
Elena continued talking to herself, but this time her thoughts cleared up much more.
“Although I hate you, but every injustice has its perpetrator and every debt its debtor, so even if I was getting revenge, I’ll only go after you! Only you…”
“Oh…”
“Lin Xiao, I have a good memory, so I remember every bad thing you did to me! One day I’ll get back at you! One day…”
“Zzz…zzzz…”
Elena frowned from the rough breathing, but she still bit her lips and lowered her voice, and continued to speak.
“But I also remember all the good, not only did you save me, you trusted me and help me take off the collar, s-so I should thank you… I’m not an ungrateful person, so…”
“So?”
“I won’t break my promise. I said that I would help you now and later until everything is over. So now…”
“Hm?”
Lin Xiao squinted and still couldn’t clearly hear what she was saying, he could vaguely see that Elena stood up and heard some clanging sound.
She’s probably destroying the collar… Lin Xiao thought.
With her current strength, destroying it would be a piece of cake. It’s just a pity for all the hard work Snow put in.
The collar his little sister worked so hard on turned into nothing in his hands, that was the price for easily trusting Elena.
But he doesn’t regret it.
Perhaps Snow was right, her brother was an idiot that had been hooked by Elena and he didn’t care about anything else but his maid!
People in love are all idiots!
In love? … Perhaps he was an idiot, but Lin Xiao didn’t agree with that? If their relationship was that of lovers, wouldn’t it be too much? The constant hostilities, his life being threatened, what kind of love was that?
While Lin Xiao was lost in his thoughts, he suddenly heard a click.
What?
He completely opened his eyes and saw a beautiful girl. A girl with no cute cat ears or slender tail, just an unbelievably beautiful maid.
“Elena, w-w-w-why did you…” Lin Xiao stammered as he pointed at her.
The demonic aura and the cute cat girl completely disappeared, because Elena wore the collar again and sealed her power!
“What?”
“T-the c-c-c-collar…”
“What about the collar? What are you so surprised for?”
“But you…”
“Even if I wanted revenge, I have to hide my aura first, otherwise it would be annoying if I attract the holy light church… I know the incantation now anyways so I cant get revenge anytime. D-don’t misunderstand! I don’t want to be your maid, I just won’t be your enemy for the time being.”
“For the time being, huh… hehe.”
Wearing the collar by herself meant that she also trusted him. Lin Xiao had thought that there would never be mutual trust between them. Like they were two killers trapped in the same room, they would always be guarded against one another.
But Lin Xiao didn’t believe it! He went against Snow’s directions and told Elena the incantation. It was like a killer throwing away his weapon and exposing his weakness to the other, allowing Elena a chance to strike!
But Elena didn’t.
She wore the collar, meaning that she was willing to continue to help him and also responding to his trust, willing to ride the storm with him.
“Pervert, do you have to make such a disgusting smile?”
“I’m just happy, hehe.”
He didn’t want to smile, but he couldn’t control his emotions. The more he looked into her ruby-red eyes, the happier he became.
After all this time, they finally achieved genuine trust and took an important step toward each other, how could he not be happy?
Doesn’t this mean that he finally had the demon king’s affection and obtained an obedient maid?
“Elena, are you willing to listen to me from now on?”
“As long as you don’t have any ulterior motives, I’ll listen to anything you ask… after all, I-I’m your helper.” Elena touched the collar on her neck as she quietly responded.
“No, no, no, not just helper, you’re my maid, you should call me master from now on!”
“No way!”
“Hm… that’s not cute. Then can you agree to something else?”
“What?”
“Can I hug you?”
“That… eh?”
