ShenDai Ying finally gave up on resisting and fell into Lin Xiao’s arms. Perhaps he was her fated one and had the power to take her away, but…
When ShenDai Ying felt his warmth, it was like she was electrocuted and then began screaming.
“No! No, I can’t go with you, I really can’t… I can’t!!!”
“Sister Ying? What’s wrong? I… ah!”
Before Lin Xiao could react, the world collapsed. Without any sound… time, space, the sky, the sea, everything vanished like it never existed. Everything went dark in front of Lin Xiao as he fell into the abyss again.
“Was I right? Or wrong? … I clearly broke down her heart’s defenses, but why wouldn’t she leave with me?”
After some time, he landed somewhere again. He rubbed his behind and opened his eyes again, this time it wasn’t a gloomy and desolate world, but a small house in the middle of the forest.
“This is?”
There were birds chirping around him and he was surrounded by lush greenery. He took a look and there was a winding stone path that led straight to the front yard of the house. Following the path, Lin Xiao took a closer look.
The yard wasn’t big but it was well-tended to, there were small areas where vegetables and flowers were being grown, there was a cage in the corner with some hens that laid eggs, and also a dog house next to the door where there was a big beautiful yellow dog lazily lying under the sun that ignored Lin Xiao’s arrival.
“Is this sister Ying’s illusion?”
He broke through her heart’s defenses so this must be the deepest part of her consciousness and this house must be her deepest secret and also must be where her internal demon is!
“So, the internal demon is hiding in this house? … Okay! Let me see what kind of monster you are!”
He pushed open the front door… he had originally thought a hellish scene would await him! but it was just a normal house that was well-tended to just like the yard.
“What is… hm? There’s a familiar voice.” Lin Xiao followed the voice and was shocked.
What he saw wasn’t the internal demons but three familiar people!
“Snow, did you sneak candy to eat again!?”
Who else could that cold maid be but Elena? She wore a familiar maid outfit and put down what she was working on and ran over to the sofa to try and catch Snow eating candy!
And Snow who was wearing shorts and a t-shirt wasn’t the high and aloof Saintess, but a normal little girl.
“Mhmm… I didn’t!”
“Still trying to lie? Then what are you eating right now?”
“Hm.. mhm… gulp! … Hehe, I’m not eating anything! Look… ahhh~”
Snow wouldn’t admit to it as she chewed and swallowed the candy then opened her mouth to show Elena.
“Hmph, don’t think you can trick me that easily… okay, then let me ask you, since you didn’t eat anything, what’s that stuck to the corner of your mouth?”
“Tsk, did I still leave evidence behind… damned titty monster, you’re bullying me for being blind!”
Snow immediately stuck out her tongue to lick the candy off and then cursed at Elena.
“Hmph, so what if I did eat it? You titty monster, you’re just a maid, stop trying to control me!”
“Oh? Snow, are you serious?”
“Hm… w-what! Are you trying to suffocate me with your tits again? You damned big-breasted maid, I don’t know why my brother likes a person like you!”
“Sorry, you can do whatever you like when you have a big chest… also, I’m not a person, but a demon.”
“Ahhh!! Save me! The big titty demon is going to eat me! Sister Ying! Come save me!”
A woman’s voice came from the kitchen when she heard Snow’s screams.
“Hehe, Snow, you can’t eat any more candy, otherwise your brother will scold you when he comes back!”
“Wahh… you’re all so mean, teaming up against me! When my brother comes back, I’ll make sure to tell on you!”
“Okay, okay, stop fooling around… Elena, help me get some potatoes, we’re eating curry tonight.”
“Yes, master.”
Elena nodded and walked out the room, but didn’t see Lin Xiao standing at the door. Lin Xiao originally wanted to reach out to stop Elena, but she passed right through him! It was like he was just a soul without a physical body. Then she returned from the yard with potatoes and went to make dinner with ShenDai Ying.
They can’t see me?
There was only one thing he was sure of, this scene was an illusion made by ShenDai Ying, if you have to ask why… it was because there was no way a proud demon king like Elena would peacefully coexist with Snow and also obediently listen to ShenDai Ying.
“But… strange, where’s the internal demon?”
