Chapter 90 – Demon Princess (1/2)

Sigh, Lin Xiao, Lin Xiao, get over yourself.

After the previous shock, Lin Xiao understood that he was too naive.

Speaking of which, he doesn’t even know why he likes Shen DaiYing.

Was it because of her alluring slender legs wrapped up in black silk? Perhaps.

Was it because of her affectionate eyes when she smiles? Probably.

If he really wanted to find out why, although Lin Xiao had no evidence, but he stubbornly believed that Shen DaiYing wasn’t a princess, she was just a pitiful and frail girl, and that he should protect her.

When he looks at Shen DaiYing, Lin Xiao doesn’t feel charmed, his heart just aches… she must have shed a lot of tears, right?

That’s what he couldn’t help but think every time he looked at those half open half closed eyes.

Shen DaiYing was clearly a noble princess, and she’s so strong, why would she cry? Or why would she need someone else’s protection?

Lin Xiao didn’t know the truth, but he was willing to use sincerity to get it.

After chasing away the three brothers, Elena rested for a bit, she was fine after the soul rebound disappeared. Shen DaiYing was afraid those three might come back, so she planned to send Lin Xiao home safely and the three began slowly strolling.

They came to a tacit understanding and neither Shen DaiYing or Lin Xiao mentioned yesterday’s confession, as if the confession was a dream.

But, if they didn’t mention what happened before, what should they talk about? Shen DaiYing was out of ideas.

It was always the males who struck up a conversation with her, she had no idea how to start a conversation.

Speaking of that, why did she have to cozy up with Lin Xiao?

Lin Xiao wasn’t her fiancé, Caesar was.

Shen DaiYing was confused.

“Um…. Sister Ying, h-how are you and Caesar doing?” Lin Xiao couldn’t help but take the lead and broke the silence.

Unfortunately, it was a strange topic the instance he opened his mouth…

“Him?” Shen DaiYing remembered what had happened earlier, “Not well… he spoke to me for the first time today.”

“Is that so? Caesar must be very pleased with a fiancée like you, right?” Although Lin Xiao felt like his heart was being stabbed, he still had to force himself to smile.

“Pleased? No, it’s the exact opposite, it seems Caesar likes Rosie more than me.” Shen DaiYing pouted and said unhappily, “It seems like Rosie hates me, sigh… even though I treated her like my sister!”

“Rosie, is it?” Seeing Shen DaiYing troubled, Lin Xiao quickly followed up, “Sister Ying, is there anything I can do to help?”

“Help? …it’s not really a big deal.” Shen DaiYing thought for a while then said, “Lin Xiao, can you tell me how I can get closer to Caesar? It seems like he’s extremely guarded against me.”

She only realized that the question would be awkward for Lin Xiao after she asked it, Lin Xiao likes her yet she asked for Lin Xiao’s help to approach another man… wasn’t she just a bitch?

Shen DaiYing regretted her foolishness.

From what she can remember, this is the first time she acted this way in front of a man.

“Get closer to Caesar? That…” Lin Xiao pursed his lips with a complicated expression.

As for the problem, he actually had a great way! But he didn’t know whether he should tell her.

If he said it, it was akin to pushing the person he likes towards Caesar, then when they get closer and closer, wouldn’t he lose a lot?

But if he didn’t say anything, he would lose the chance of helping her, and he couldn’t increase her favorable impression of him!

What should he do?

Favorable impression? Or peace of mind?

Peh! Of course it’s favorable impression!

Even if she married Caesar, he would still have chances!

As long as the attraction meter is full, there are no girls you can’t get! That’s the true essence of love! (TN: Referring to those Japanese Dating Sims)

Lin Xiao clenched his teeth and made a decision.

“If you want to get closer to Caesar, it’s actually very simple!” When he said that, although there was a smile on his face, he was actually bleeding blood on the inside!

But for the attraction meter, he has to finish speaking even if he dies, that is more important than anything else!

“The Intramural Selection Competition is staring the day after tomorrow.” He seriously analyzed, “Caesar is definitely fully set on the competition, so as long as you tell him you’ll help him practice his sword skills, then drag him to the practice range as a training partner, he’ll obediently listen to you!”

Caesar was extremely interested in things like swords skills and raising his abilities, coincidentally Shen DaiYing was strong in that aspect, if she suggest to train with him, he definitely wouldn’t refuse.

A training partner, this was something only Shen DaiYing could do and Rosie couldn’t.

That was Rosie’s biggest weakness! And is also where Shen DaiYing had an advantage!

“Oh! That’s a great idea! Thanks Lin Xiao!”

It seems like Lin Xiao didn’t mind the rude question she asked earlier, so Shen DaiYing breathed out in relief.

“… No worries.” Lin Xiao was smiling, but only he knew the pain inside his heart.

Finally, along with the painful and happy torture, they stopped in front of an old and worn down house.

“Is this your house?” After arriving, Shen DaiYing happily smiled, “Then, I’ll be going ahead!”

“Oh…” Lin Xiao answered in a daze.

If it was possible, he wanted to walk next to her for eternity, but happiness is short-lived.

Before she left, she turned and waved towards Lin Xiao and her half opened eyes curved into beautiful arcs.

“Thank you for your method, I’ll try it out!” She was wearing high heels, yet her pace was abnormally brisk and she was gone in a flash.

“Lin Xiao?”

“Call me master…”
