The two finally understood the situation after some explanation.
The reason ShenDai Ying misunderstood was because of Snow’s prank!
Since Elena couldn’t help him replenish magic, Lin Xiao was troubled and talked to Snow about, but she didn’t know how to solve it, so she just kept it in mind.
Then while Snow was spending time with ShenDai Ying, she told her about what Lin Xiao had said, but she also embellished it and made it sound completely different!
“Sister Ying, you already knew that Elena was a demon?”
“Yes, she’s so beautiful with such a good figure and she also acts so coldly, she’s surely a demon!”
“Uh… is that related?”
“Of course! If she wasn’t a demon, how could she be a maid to a pervert like you? If she were a human, she would have already cut you down!”
“Wuuu… your words hurt so much!”
Lin Xiao was hurt because of her words, but he didn’t ask much and due to his trust in her, he told her about how he was able to replenish magic through rubbing Elena’s chest, but it suddenly didn’t work anymore.
“Replenishing magic through rubbing her chest… hm, I can’t believe there’s something like that.”
ShenDai Ying looked back in disbelief at Elena and noticed her glaring at her coldly, she immediately shivered then turned back to contemplate.
She has never heard of anything like that, so how could she have any ideas?
But…
“Lin Xiao, I don’t know what secrets you have between the two of you… a human letting a demon be your maid… but regarding the troubles between you two, I have two suggestions.”
“Ok, go ahead, I’m listening.”
“First, think back carefully and compare the details of when it succeeded and failed, was there anything you may be forgetting?”
“Forgotten details… hm, there may be!”
Lin Xiao had already thought of this, the first time it succeeded, he was completely drained of magic power, but every time after that, he still had quite a bit of magic power remaining, so that difference could be the key!
“There’s also something else… hm, it may sound complicated, but I hope you can try to understand and remember it by heart.”
She suggested a concept, belief.
In Eileen, the majority believed in the Goddess of life and that she would bring them prosperity. But the Great Qin, didn’t believe in Gods, they believed in their own beliefs.
“Everyone has different beliefs, for example, the people in Great Qin believes in the empress, that a virtuous and open-minded empress can bring them happiness. Our family believes in the way of the warrior, that we can only become a true warrior through constant cultivation and enlightenment.”
“Uh… it sounds strange, but I can understand.”
“Beliefs are miraculous, people who lose it, also lost the courage to live and become a walking corpse. Those who are firm in their convictions surpass human limits and accomplish impossible things.”
“So you’re saying… that Elena and I don’t have strong enough faiths?”
“No, what I mean is… your beliefs don’t align.”
“Eh?”
Lin Xiao was curious at this new idea.
According to ShenDai Ying’s logic, belief can influence many things, and one of it is the power within your body, like Lin Xiao’s magic power, or Elena’s demonic power.
If they had similar beliefs then those powers may resonate and change, but if they had different belief then the energies would reject one another.
“It’s too complicated… so simply put, we’re not on the same page and our relationship is not close enough, so she can’t replenish my magic, right?”
“Hehe, you could say that… if your relationship with her is as good as our relationship, then it’ll surely work!”
“Stop teasing me!” Lin Xiao sternly cried out, but was still thinking about her words.
Let beliefs resonate to exchange powers… it sounds mysterious, but it just meant that he had to deepen his relationship with Elena. Right now they can’t replenish magic, because he had a falling out with Elena. So as long as they were loving, they could replenish magic, but if they fought, then they can’t replenish magic?
“So, how should I deepen my relationship with Elena?”
“You need me to teach you that?”
“Uh… do you have any ideas?”
“It’s simple, just find a small dark room.”
“Ok and then?”
“Then strip her and press her on the bed.”
“Ok, and then?”
“What else? Obviously you and her, ***! Once you have kids together, then surely you’ll reach a common ground and naturally she’ll be able to replenish your magic!”
“You’re so bad!” Lin Xiao kept getting teased speechless.
But regardless of the teasing, what she said did give him some ideas. He still didn’t have a reliable method, but it felt like he’s grasped onto something, and he can soon find the real answer!
And so, after resolving their business and looked at each other and laughed. But they didn’t have too much time together. Before leaving, he heard that Claire already sent a message to Barrett, so he couldn’t delay too long.
“So… hurry up and go.”
“Then I’m going!”
“Be careful, I’ll be waiting!”
Lin Xiao felt warm hearing her encouragement and turned to leave, but… he suddenly thought of something and walked back.
“What’s wrong?”
“Um… Elena is indeed a high-level demon.”
“I already know that.”
“There’s something else you don’t know… she’s actually a cat.”
“Oh? So she’s a cat… No wonder she’s so arrogant… cats, especially female cats, think of themselves as queens… so you just wanted to tell me that?”
“Yeah.”
“Okay… since she’s an arrogant cat, then Lin Xiao, what am I?”
“You?”
“I’m not a dog to you, am I?”
“Hm… you probably are. A loyal and clingy dog that follows their owner around!”
“Hehe, then this clingy dog will be waiting for her master to return.”
“Yeah… once I come back, I’ll feed you the tastiest bone!”
“That’s very ambiguous… but, I’ll gladly eat your bone!”
“Uh, teasing me again… I’m really leaving now!”
“Okay… come back soon!”
