Chapter 113 – One’s Last Hope (1/2)

“Sorry, I never received that kind of order, so I cannot satisfy your request.” Shen DaiYing responded to his unreasonable request indifferently, “Rather than my legs, you would much rather prefer a medium well steak, right?”

Was it ridicule? No, Shen DaiYing’s voice carried no emotions, it was like she was just a robot that made sounds according to a computer program, no emotions, no feelings.

With her like this, people might mistake her for being dead, and only an empty shell was left.

“Steak? Indeed so, you know me well! Haha, Don’t mind it, I was just making a joke!” Although the fatty’s tone was frivolous, but he didn’t actually dare touch Shen DaiYing. He was fully aware of how powerful this woman was, if he angered her, it wouldn’t be enough even if he had a hundred lives!

“How about it, princess, that fellow’s pretty powerful, right? Hehe, that’s a power that even high level demons can’t defeat!” The fatty changed the topic.

“Un, I saw it, it was very powerful.” Shen DaiYing nodded her head, and replied like a machine.

“Haha, as long as you’re satisfied… however, princess, you’re also very powerful!”

“Me?” Shen DaiYing’s gloomy face showed a slight trace of puzzlement.

“That’s right princess, those two old bastards, David and Jackson, always had it out for me, and drove me crazy, but you killed them all so easily! Isn’t that very powerful?” The fatty spoke excitedly while making a cutting motion on his own neck.

“I was just completing my missions.” Shen DaiYing shook her head, and continued on emotionlessly.

“No, no, no, those two old bastards were not easy to deal with! I heard that Jackson hired a body guard, a seventh level warrior! And there was a high level ice magician by David, someone who specialized in dealing with assassins, proficient in ice magic and various magic traps, with a nickname of ‘Unbreakable Ice’! To be frank with you, I’ve hired assassins many times before to assassinate them, but they all failed…”

Speaking there, the fatty’s mood dropped then suddenly ran very high!

“But princess, yet you succeeded! How did you do it? It’s too amazing, well deserved of the reputation of the Eastern tribe’s number one assassination technique!”

“Oh.” Facing the fatty’s unbridled praise, Shen DaiYing just tilted her head and stared at him in a daze like a malfunctioning robot that didn’t know how to continue the conversation.

And on this side, Elena almost made a noise!

The killer who killed the merchant Jackson and the deputy financial minister was actually Shen DaiYing. There was no doubt, she even admitted to it herself!

What was even scarier was that the seventh level warrior bodyguard and the ice magician that specialized in dealing with assassins couldn’t stop Shen DaiYing!

How could she still be considered a princess? Those assassinations could put her in the top one or two in Lombard Kingdom! Other than the king, there was no one she couldn’t kill!

The doubts within Elena were growing: lesser devils, Great Qin Empire, terrifying assassination technique… She was originally only curious so she followed her, but now she discovered that this had something do with her!

The Great Qin Empire’s princess was secretly helping a power that possessed a lesser devil conduct assassinations… Why?

Could it be that the attack and rebellion Elena met with in the Forest of the End was a plot by the Great Qin Empire? Don’t tell me that mysterious Eastern country tried to kill the Demon King, then destroy the entire demon tribe?

How did that benefit them?

Taking a step back, if all of that was true, what was Shen DaiYing’s role in all of this?

Wait a second…

“That fatty!”

Elena suddenly realized that the terrifying person wasn’t Shen DaiYing, but actually that fatty!

From what she could determine from their conversation, Shen DaiYing only came today to see that monster, and the real owner was that fatty!

Who was that damn fatty?

The questions followed one after another, so Elena decided to follow until the end!

She was a demon king, not a coward, the emergence of the lesser devils caused her to lose her throne, and loved ones, forcing her to leave her home, and even ending up at a human’s house and humiliatingly becoming a maid. Now the fellow that possessed a lesser devil was right in front of her, that damn fatty was her enemy! How could she easily let him go?

Although she lost her power, and has no way of killing him here, but she at least has to find out his identity!

All out magic detection radar! Although she wasn’t good at tailing someone, but by relying on her perception she became the most troublesome stalker. The only reason she was played by Lin Xiao last time in the alleys was because of soul rebound, now that she had Lin Xiao’s magic crystal, she definitely wouldn’t lose anyone!

And so, a comical scene happened, a beauty wearing plain clothes and carrying a basket in one hand, was stooping down with a bent waist and hiding left and right in the outskirts, she looked like she had a mental disorder to onlookers.

However, no one noticed her.

Shen DaiYing and that fatty said a couple of words in front of the door before walking towards Winterless City together. On the way, the fatty tried to chat with Shen DaiYing, but from start to end she maintained her robot-like expression, other than the occasional sounds she made in response, she was staring blankly all other times, who knew what she was thinking about.

Was she thinking about her family? Or was she thinking about the pitiful people that she killed?

After entering the city, their discussions became much more low-profile, finally stopping at a fork in the road.

“Princess, what’s wrong?” The fatty asked curiously.

Shen DaiYing didn’t answer, she continued staring in one direction. Following her line of sight, the fatty saw two girls with ragged clothes, they were hiding at the corner of a wall doing who knows what.

Like she was possessed, Shen DaiYing began walking towards that direction, as she got closer she noticed that these two girls with messy appearances were beggars. The shorter one was probably the younger one, and the taller one was the older one.
