Chapter 66 – The Demon King who Treated People with Coldness (2/2)

As the saying goes, Know Yourself, Know Your Enemy. As a Demon King, it was beneficial for her to have a detailed understanding of human history and culture.

She just didn’t know if Lin Xiao was willing to give her this opportunity, Elena was doubtful.

After all, she was a demon, and Lin Xiao was a human. The ancient texts area of the library was the most precious ancient literature of mankind. It was the most classified intelligence for the demons! No matter how well Lin Xiao treated her and seeing her as a real maid, he won’t allow her to spy on humanity’s secrets.

Today she was Lin Xiao’s maid, tomorrow she might become Lin Xiao’s enemy! Elena did not dare to ask Lin Xiao for an unreasonable request, and it was beneath her to plead for such things.

Thinking of this, Elena sighed and slowed down.

It’s fine if I can’t see it. At that time, I’ll just wait outside the library.

“What’s up Elena, are you tired?”

“No, no…” The facial paralysis expression once again appeared on her face, indifference, arrogance, rejecting people thousands of miles away.

This was a useful trick for her. As long as she adopted a cold attitude, she will never be seen through. That was how she dealt with subordinates, how she dealt with other higher level demons. And now, this was how she dealt with Lin Xiao.

However, she underestimated the mutual understanding between herself and Lin Xiao, having lived together for more than two months, although the two never got any closer physically, there were many mental exchanges (for example, bickering, quarreling, and also a very “intimate” interaction of mutual insults to their immediate female relatives).

Lin Xiao was a human, and Elena was a red-eyes black cat and a Demon King. But unexpectedly, the two of them came to a mutual understanding in some areas.

For example, when bullying Elena, Lin Xiao always accurately controlled himself, making Elena feel ashamed but not to the point of making her explode in anger. The best example was the perfect chest attack that happened a while ago.

Similarly, when insulting Lin Xiao, Elena could always find the best angle to attack Lin Xiao’s vulnerable defenses and using her clear and pleasant voice to unrelentingly expose all of Lin Xiao’s pretenses.

Lin Xiao’s evil tricks couldn’t escape Elena’s beautiful red eyes, and Lin Xiao could easily see through her thoughts.

“Elena, are you interested in ancient books?” That black-haired boy pretended to ask casually while smiling.

“…” Elena didn’t say anything.

She did not expect Lin Xiao to see through her thoughts and had to turn around and pretend that she didn’t hear him.

“Hehe, I see… okay then, you can come with me.” Lin Xiao was like a nosy grandmother, and began to earnestly nag away, “The books in the ancient texts area are very old, they are mostly surviving books, so you must be careful not to damage the book! I don’t want Teacher Woos to come find me again.”

“Ah? Oh…” Elena’s was in a daze and she nodded subconsciously.

She did not expect that Lin Xiao was really willing to take her to the ancient texts area. Was Lin Xiao not afraid that she would learn the secrets of mankind and then use it against them?

Elena stopped momentarily.

“Elena?” Seeing her in a daze, Lin Xiao also stopped.

He has never seen Elena like this, hesitation, anxiousness, nervousness, confusion, withing all those complex emotions, there was also a touch of delight that was hard to detect.

Was it because he allowed her to enter the ancient texts area? Lin Xiao didn’t know, but he noticed that Elena’s joy was hidden deep in the bottom of her heart, like being crushed by a heavy burden weighing a ton.

For her, it seems that even happiness was something that was not allowed.

Ah, it was because she was a demon rather than a human, this was something that Lin Xiao often forgot.

She was not an ordinary girl, nor was she an ordinary big-breasted girl. She was the leader of all the high-level demons, she was a red-eyes black cat that shouldered all the burdens of the demons. She was a “King”!

Being his maid for a couple of months, Elena’s “King” temperament has mostly been smoothed out. Her arrogance was also almost gone, but she was still the Demon King.

As a “king”, she couldn’t openly express her emotions. She must be aloof and indifferent. She can’t roar with laughter when she’s happy and she can’t bawl when she’s sad. Those expression of emotions were for the masses, it was not the privilege of a “king.”

She was accustomed to “showing people with coldness”, she may have long forgotten how to express her happiness, she also had no idea what expression and language she should use to express her gratitude.

For this moment’s her, Lin Xiao had no resistance.

“Elena…” Lin Xiao slowly reached out and gently brushed the strands of hair by her temples with his fingertips.
