Picked up a Demon King to be a Maid - Chapter 360
A seventh-level demonic beast wasn’t some small fry, if they were to fight, even ShenDai Ying didn’t have much confidence. But right now, that beast was just lying there motionlessly…
With a stomach full of questions, ShenDai Ying walked closer and realized that it was just unconscious. Even though it still had a menacing aura that made one question whether it would just suddenly wake up and shoot out a huge poisonous spike and pin you to the ground alive…
“There’s even a seventh-level demonic beast, where did they come from?”
ShenDai Ying felt chilly.
She may be a killer from Shen Yue Ge and had some unknown relationship with the enlightenment society, but she didn’t know what kind of schemes those crazy bastards had, or how powerful they were, and were actually able to get this many demons to come and help them block the way.
“But… it couldn’t have been Lin Xiao who finished all of them off, right? No, that’s impossible!”
Regardless of whether Lin Xiao was strong enough or not, ShenDai Ying noticed something shocking along the way, she didn’t see a single trace of explosion magic.
Whether it be the nocturnal lion monkeys or this huge scorpion, she didn’t find any signs of fighting. It was like they weren’t knocked unconscious and they just hit themselves unconscious.
It was the first time she’s met suicidal demonic beasts…
ShenDai Ying nervously gulped and carefully went around the scorpion and continued to search ahead.
Under a steep cliff and in front of a cave, she saw two unconscious scarlet flame tigers and next to them, three strange people on the floor.
One of them was definitely Lin Xiao, she immediately recognized his black hair and eyes, but didn’t know whether he was dead or alive…
Then it was Elena.
ShenDai Ying didn’t know how, but Elena immediately noticed her when she approached. Elena looked up and slowly got up to probably welcome her.
“You’re here.”
Elena patted her clothes and waved. Her voice was very quiet and she yawned right after speaking and seemed very weak.
ShenDai Ying quickly rushed over and nervously asked, “Elena… w-what happened? What’s wrong with Lin Xiao? Is he hurt?”
Lin Xiao was quietly lying there and his clothes were covered in dust. It was clear that he had an intense fight which made her suspect that he was injured.
“Oh, don’t worry, he’s fine. He’s just too tired and fell asleep.”
“Fell asleep?”
ShenDai Ying blinked and couldn’t understand.
In order to demonstrate that he wasn’t injured, Elena lightly kicked him, causing him to turn around while muttering incomprehensible words and continuing to snore.
“Sigh, we were too intense last night, so he’s exhausted… yawn.”
“What? Too intense, exhausted???”
ShenDai Ying blushed as she repeated Elena’s words. While feeling shame and indignation about what a two-timer Lin Xiao was!
This guy didn’t accept her no matter what, even when she stripped naked and rode on top of him. That made her suspect whether if it was because he wasn’t capable down there, otherwise, how could he hold back towards a naked beauty… but with Elena, he stood tall and had an intense night together!?
Why? Where does she fall short in comparison with Elena?
Doesn’t she just have a slightly bigger chest, was it that attractive?
“Hey, what are you thinking about?”
Elena tilted her head while yawning and sleepily explained.
“Don’t misunderstand anything, Lin Xiao used up a lot of magic power to maintain a magic barrier, on top of the all-nighter, that’s why he’s out cold.”
“Oh… so that’s why, I thought you two were doing some shameless… hehe, nothing.”
“Then, who is she?”
“She…”
When her aunt was mentioned, Elena paused and didn’t know how to explain it.
Speaking of that, it was already strange enough that ShenDai Ying could calmly question Elena.
Adele and Elena were different since Adele’s bloodline wasn’t as pure, or in her own words, her ‘Demon God’s body’ was not perfect so she couldn’t completely transform into a human like Elena. She still had her cat ears and tails, it was cute, but may be scary to normal people.
“Hm, is that question difficult to answer? If I’m not mistaken, she’s a demon, right?”
“…”
“Could she be the high-level demon that was directing the other demonic beasts to block the canyon?”
“…”
Silence was sometimes the best answer.
“But that’s strange… if she’s the culprit, why are you protecting her instead of killing her?”
“She… she’s not an enemy.”
“Not an enemy, is it… hehe, I understand.” ShenDai Ying nodded and didn’t ask anymore. She smiled and started inspecting Lin Xiao’s condition.
Her reaction confused Elena.
That’s it?
She left with Lin Xiao at night, and showed up the next morning with some demon auntie. Even if ShenDai Ying already knew she was a demon, there’s no reason she would be so calm, right?
Elena had originally already planned for the worst-case scenario, no matter what ShenDai Ying’s attitude was, she had to protect her aunt and convince ShenDai Ying to take her aunt back with them, but she was surprised that there was no need.
“ShenDai Ying, a-are you done asking?”
“Yep.” ShenDai Ying used her handkerchief to wipe Lin Xiao’s drool while responding absentmindedly.
“But… don’t you want to know her identity? Why I’m protecting her, what’s my relationship with her… you’re clearly curious, so why didn’t you keep asking?”
“Because there’s no need to.”
“How? … If you bring us back, then you might get involved with demons, that’s not something insignificant to you, right? Are you only worried about Lin Xiao… and other than him, you’re not worried about anything else?”
“Yes.”
Unexpectedly, ShenDai Ying looked up and responded as if it was natural.
“As long as that auntie isn’t Lin Xiao’s enemy, then she naturally isn’t mine. Elena, don’t worry, I’ll take them back with me no matter who they are.”
“ShenDai Ying, you…”
Elena was momentarily speechless.
Her words sounded reasonable and her logic simple and clear, but it was only convincing enough because it came from ShenDai Ying’s mouth.
To put it nicely, she trusted Lin Xiao to the point of unconditionally trusting anyone he trusted. To put it bluntly, ShenDai Ying had nothing but her man left in her head and didn’t care about anything else.
Whether it be Shen Yue Ge or demons, as long as it had something to do with Lin Xiao, ShenDai Ying’s thought process became extremely simple, like a little girl in love… Elena didn’t know whether she should ridicule her foolishness or be jealous of her carefreeness.
But at the moment, she should first thank ShenDai Ying for her help.
“Yawn… w-we should go.”
Of course, it was a hundred years too early to get the Demon King to thank the woman she hated.
Since ShenDai Ying was only worried about Lin Xiao, Elena had to try and carry her aunt by herself. But before she could do that, she almost fell over herself.
“Hm… what’s wrong? You can’t even stand properly… Elena, you also pulled an all-nighter, right?”
Seeing as to how pitiful she looked, ShenDai Ying finally stopped just carrying her man and ran next to Elena and helped her.
“After that night, you must be hungry… here, take this.”
“Hm?”
Elena unwillingly leaned against ShenDai Ying and looked down to see an exquisite box.
“I wanted to give it to Lin Xiao, but he’s sleeping so soundly and I can’t bear to wake him up… so, here.”
Elena blinked as she held the box that was shoved into her hands.
She didn’t want to take it but she was indeed starving, so she still ended up opening the box and placing something that looked like a cookie into her mouth.
“Hm… en, n-not bad.”
The sweet cookie melted in her mouth and was delicious, but Elena wasn’t willing to say that.
“Hehe, is it just not bad? Then let me try your snacks next time… oh, but I almost forgot, you’re a dumb demon and can’t make snacks.”
“Tsk… ShenDai Ying, even if your cookies tasted good, but I still hate you.”
“Really? But I like you more and more, Elena, let’s go shopping together tomorrow, hehe~”
ShenDai Ying couldn’t get mad at all as she looked at how cute Elena looked as she coldly abused her while shoving cookies into her mouth, rather she couldn’t hold back and laughed.
