Chapter 91 – Protecting Honor (1/2)
A couple of days later
Loran Academy
The past couple of days were very peaceful, nothing big happened.
Lin Xiao did not recover completely from his ‘love sickness’, but he could not take sick leave forever, so he could only go back to school.
As for Elena, she was very well behaved for the past couple of days, she did not fight with Lin Xiao anymore, it was like their relationship reverted back to when they first met, the most abnormal yet normal master slave relationship.
After all, the person who Lin Xiao likes is the beautiful princess.
The good news was, with Lin Xiao’s cooperation, Elena was able to find out that after leaving the Forest of the End, nothing large scale happened, they also never started any large scale wars against human towns or cities.
From this it showed that Lin Xiao’s deductions were correct, there was high probability that the rebels successfully usurped power. However, even if the rebels won with their schemes, it was difficult to become the true Demon King.
If a high-level demon wants to officially inherit the primogenitor’s power to become the Demon King, they need to undergo a complicated process, they can’t easily become one just by chasing Elena away.
So, there was only one remaining question, when was Elona going to arrive? It’s strange, how come there hasn’t been anything about Elona after so long, even Lin Xiao was suspecting that something happened enroute.
But they couldn’t do anything but wait.
…
“Yawn… Elena, let’s go home.”
It was the end of another day of classes, Lin Xiao yawned and called out to his maid to go home and sleep, don’t misunderstand, of course separately.
Lin Xiao could only think of Shen DaiYing, he didn’t feel like flirting with Elena.
Speaking of Shen DaiYing, a couple days of ago, she found herself isolated by Rosie, so she found Lin Xiao. He gave her the idea of using training as a pretext to get closer to Caesar.
But, would that really work?
The answer quickly became apparent.
“Caesar, how about it? Our family chef’s food is delicious, right? I specially asked him to make Northern dishes today, the taste is very special! Let’s go to my house to eat today as well!”
After class, as per usual, Rosie came over and coiled her arm around Caesar’s and pestered him to go to her house to eat.
Usually, Caesar had no resistance against her, perhaps he would coldly chide her, but every time he would obediently surrender, like a bride getting carried home.
But today, Rosie’s good days came to an end. Shen DaiYing followed closely behind, walked up in front of them and stopped the two.
He was too far away, so Lin Xiao couldn’t hear what they were saying. So he could only sit at his seat and enjoy this silent show as a spectator.
At first, when Rosie noticed Shen DaiYing coming over to ruin things, she pouted and complained to her, then turned around and said something to Caesar. After, Caesar hesitated for a bit then shook his head at Shen DaiYing with an apologetic expression and prepared to leave with Rosie.
“Oh, it seems she’s at a disadvantage, Caesar is completely controlled by Rosie.” The spectator, Lin Xiao made commentary at the development of the play.
The first attack failed, but Shen DaiYing wasn’t discouraged. She took out her signature smile, and used her charm to stop the two from leaving.
Stalling! That was also one of the moves Lin Xiao taught her.
Soon after, while speaking, Shen DaiYing was making various strange gestures in front of Caesar. She made movements where she had both arms together and was chopping, she also made movements where she waved one hand around.
This time Rosie was flabbergasted, she could only stand by the side watching and couldn’t do anything. Yet Caesar’s eyes where shining, completely captivated by Shen DaiYing’s movements!
“Is she teaching sword techniques to Caesar? Un, that’s definitely most effective against him, he will definitely bite. However, will Miss Rosie give up that easily?” Lin Xiao widened his eyes and carefully watched.
As expected, Rosie didn’t just give up, she shamelessly tangled around Caesar, and made a disturbance, who knows what she was saying. Caesar felt slightly awkward after that, hesitated, and decided to leave again.
Shen DaiYing once again lost.
“Is the princess just going to lose like this?” Lin Xiao gulped.
“Lin Xiao…”
“Call me master.”
“Master.” Elena paused for a bit, not minding the change and asked, “Do you wish for her to fail or for her to succeed?”
“I… I! I…” With the three I’s, it told of the inner turmoil Lin Xiao was going through.
If it wasn’t for Elena, he would’ve almost forgot about that!
He could’ve happily watched this interesting play, but Elena’s question once again stabbed into his heart like a small knife.
Yes, he likes Shen DaiYing, does he wish for her to fail or succeed?
As he was thinking, there was finally new development with Shen DaiYing.
