“Shen DaiYing!?”
Elena was startled by Shen DaiYing’s sudden appearance and took two steps back.
Shen DaiYing was not even ten steps away from her, but she didn’t notice her approach at all!
Even though Elena could see her, her perception skills couldn’t touch Shen DaiYing, like a spirit without a body.
Detecting Elena’s misgivings, Shen DaiYing smugly curled her lips.
She was actually hiding nearby the entire time and happened to overhear Elena’s outburst. She didn’t like what she heard and purposely sneaked behind Elena to scare her.
“It’s strange, I’m clearly right in front of you, yet you can’t feel my existence, why is that?” Shen DaiYing smiled as she answered herself, “That’s because I’m an assassin! Hiding from others is my specialty… other than that, I excel even more in killing!”
As she said that, she lightly pulled her hand across her neck as she gazed at Elena, as if hinting at something.
“Tsk…”
Elena clicked her tongue and took a good look at her.
Both her legs were bruised, her clothes ragged, with a pale complexion. Shen DaiYing seemed seriously injured, even if she was smiling and talking calmly, but Elena could tell that she was barely hanging on.
Not just that, Elena also noticed that even though her clothes were covered in dirt, her legs and face were still clean. Even in this state, she didn’t forget to display her body’s most beautiful place, she really was a vixen to the bone.
What is she doing? Is she showing off? What’s the point?
Elena felt agitated and turned to look at the idiot lying on the ground and noticed that he already was out of it.
Tsk, perverted fool.
Elena cursed inwardly.
“Sister Ying, i-is that you?” Lin Xiao tried to turn his head but couldn’t see her appearance and could only guess based on her voice.
“Un, it’s me.” Shen DaiYing gently responded.
“That’s great, I knew that you would wait for me! I just knew it! I…”
Thud.
Lin Xiao tried to use his arms to support his body but ended up just like before and fell back into the ground.
“Hehe, look at you, what are you so rushed for, don’t force yourself.”
Watching Lin Xiao struggle, she smiled and slowly walked over.
“Of course I’ll wait for you, no matter how long, even if you don’t come, I’ll be waiting.”
As her shoulders brushed past Elena’s, Shen DaiYing’s expression grew dark for a moment. As they exchanged glances, they could read anger or disgust from each other’s eyes.
“If I don’t wait, then I won’t even have a chance to win. I’ve already lost the first round after all.”
Lin Xiao never heard Shen DaiYing’s muttering, that’s because it was meant for another aloof maid.
“Lost? Sorry, I have no intentions of competing with you, so you don’t have to fight me for it.”
“Oh? So you’re saying that I’m not even qualified to compete with you?” Shen DaiYing raised her brows and her tone was slightly provocative.
“Tsk… think what you like.”
“Hehe, Elena, it’s not good to be overconfident. I have more confidence that I can deal with men better than you.”
“Then you can try.”
“Do you think that you can get him just with big breasts?”
“Oh, then slender legs won’t necessarily be a pleaser either, right?”
“You…”
“Hey, what are you guys talking about?”
Lin Xiao couldn’t help but get curious when they left him hanging as they whispered to each other.
“Hehe, nothing, don’t move, I’ll help you!”
Shen DaiYing raised her brows at Elena and quickly ran over to grab Lin Xiao’s arm and used her shoulders to support his body.
“Really, a maid that can’t even hold on to her master and just watches him fall to the ground… sigh, if he was my master I definitely wouldn’t let him fall.”
Shen DaiYing said this while looking at Lin Xiao with her affectionate eyes, but it was obvious it was meant for Elena.
“Hmph, sorry for that. How about we switch, and you be his maid?”
“Okay, that’s what I want! I…”
“Uh… Sister Ying, d-don’t blame her, she’s also tired.” Lin Xiao awkwardly scratched his head and helped speak for her.
“Oh? Is that so.” Shen DaiYing was a bit upset but she backed off and continued on, “So, how did you guys end up like this, did you meet Lesser Devils?”
“Un.”
Just like what Shen DaiYing had told him, Anderson was planning to use the Lesser Devils to slaughter the students. Thanks to her information, Lin Xiao was able to make it in time and save them, avoiding any fatalities.
What was more important was that he saved that maid that haunted his dreams, and it was thanks to Shen DaiYing’s information.
“But Lin Xiao, dealing with those monsters should be easy for you… how did you end up like this? Or did something else happen?” Shen DaiYing asked while glancing at Elena’s reaction.
“Uh, actually…”
Shen DaiYing was really sharp minded, and got right to the main point.
It should have been a handsome heroic rescue, but Lin Xiao ended up riddled with injuries and even rolled around lamely in the mud earlier.
“Hm, those monsters weren’t that strong, but a small mishap happened… heh, it’s nothing. Sister Ying, anyways, aren’t I alive and came to look for you!”
Lin Xiao tried to be as vague as possible and also observed Elena’s reaction, taking her emotions into considerations.
Although what happened pissed him off, but her performance in the end was still passable, otherwise he would have took care of her right there!
But he couldn’t say that to Shen DaiYing, and could only muddle by and then change the topic.
“Sister Ying, I really have to thank you this time! If it wasn’t for your information, a lot of people would’ve died, also… um, Sister Ying… s-sorry.”
“Hehe, why are you apologizing, you only did what you should have done.”
“But I…”
“Okay Lin Xiao, if you have to apologize, then tell me what are you apologizing for?” Shen DaiYing stared at Lin Xiao’s eyes, but she was still staring at the quiet maid out of the corner of her eyes.
She obviously knew that Lin Xiao was trying to change the topic, but that’s exactly what she wanted.
“Uh, I…” He couldn’t respond.
“Hurry Up! Don’t try to change the topic again. Or was everything you said before a lie?”
“No, no, no, of course not! It’s just…”
Thinking about her question, Lin Xiao understood her intentions.
She was trying to force him to take a position.
Why did he leave, and why did he come back? This was the punishment she was giving to this half-hearted man, Shen DaiYing used his guilt as leverage to push him into a corner and force him to make a choice between her and a certain maid!
Calculative? Manipulative? No, Lin Xiao didn’t feel that it was excessive, rather he felt guilty,
“Sister Ying, sorry… I can guarantee that I’ll never leave you behind again.”
Lin Xiao paused for a moment and responded.
“Then what about this time?”
“This time? Uh… this time was an exception! Sorry, I never thought everything through, but I swear that it’ll never happen again! So this time… sorry, p-please forgive me!”
“Forgive this time, it’ll never happen again, is it…”
Lin Xiao’s answer didn’t satisfy her since he cleverly avoided the crucial part.
On the surface, the only thing that Lin Xiao did wrong was abandoning her, and apologizing for it was natural, but Shen DaiYing only cared about another thing.
She believed that if nothing similar happens again, then Lin Xiao would keep his word, but the problem was, who can guarantee that a similar dilemma wouldn’t happen again?
Even if Lin Xiao did his best, he wouldn’t be able to do everything perfectly.
If he was at a fork in the road and faced with two difficult choices, how would he choose?
Would it still be like this time… or would it change?
Looking at his slightly evasive eyes, Shen DaiYing could only helplessly sigh and then laughed at herself.
“Idiot, I was just messing with you… why are you so serious? It’s not like I’m your anyone, so you don’t need to swear to me.” Shen DaiYing squeezed his waist and jokingly rebuked him, “You’re saying it like I’m your fiancée, Lin Xiao, aren’t you getting over your head?”
“Ah? A-am I?”
“Of course! Did you think that I’m yours just because you saw me naked and took my first kiss? Hmph, don’t get carried away, I’m not a woman that you can win over so easily. You’re still a long way from getting me!”
Shen DaiYing purposely talked about being seen naked and having her first kiss stolen in front of Elena, like she was afraid that Elena wouldn’t know of what they had done together.
“Tsk, vixen.”
Elena didn’t want to listen to her crap, and looked away, out of sight out of mind.
She hated sensitive and fickle woman like Shen DaiYing the most. Always making those ambiguous statements that would cause people to misunderstand and then obtain momentarily satisfaction from that, immersed in a fake comfort and ambiguous. It’s just a pity for a pure virgin like Lin Xiao, getting played like a fool.
But it didn’t matter, because soon, Elena wouldn’t have to listen to Shen DaiYing’s crap all day.
As long as Snow keeps her promise, then she could return to the Forest of the End.
So Shen DaiYing’s dilemma didn’t exist.
Because she was leaving soon. Please go to https://www.novelupdates.cc/Picked-up-a-Demon-King-to-be-a-Maid/ to read the latest chapters for free
