Chapter 182 – No Difference From One or Two Cuts (2/2)

In order to make it seem real, he dizzily placed his arm on Elena then leaned on her, making it look like that he could only stand with Elena’s support.

Elena felt uncomfortable with how close he was and unconsciously twisted her body. As a result, Lin Xiao lost his balance and almost slipped, so he had to grab onto her even tighter to not fall.

His hands accidentally grabbed onto something very soft, he didn’t think too much of it and tried to regain balance first.

“Pervert! Take your dirty hands off me!” Elena didn’t dare shout in front of everyone, so she could only clench her teeth and threaten him quietly.

“Why do you have to be so violent? … Ah, stop moving, a good maid would never let their master fall!”

“That’s right, but normally, would a master grab their maid’s chest and not let go?”

“Ah?”

“…” Lin Xiao lowered his head and took a look silently.

“…” Elena turned to look at him and also stayed silent.

The two stared at each other in silence.

“This was an accident.”

Seeing her not react, Lin Xiao purposely made the accident occur again while explaining.

There was no helping it, he rarely gets a good opportunity like this, so he couldn’t let go of it so easily!

But what was strange was that Elena didn’t make a sound or resist, and completely ignored his joke.

“Uh… Elena, w-why aren’t you resisting?” He noticed her ice-cold gaze and abruptly came to his senses!

He felt like she was looking at a dead man!

“There’s still five days until the end of the competition.” Elena quietly replied.

“Ah? So you plan to serve me well in these five days using your gentleness as a maid to give me fighting spirit?”

“No, I just wanted you to know that these are your last five days.” Elena bit her lips and spoke word by word, “From now on, for every time you harass me, when the contract is up, I’m going to cut you once!”

“Wah! … Are you that cruel?” Lin Xiao acted surprised, then said, “So if I wasn’t afraid of dying, then I can do whatever I want to you?”

“W-what?”

“If I’m going to get cut anyways, then there’s no difference from one or many, I might as well just enjoy myself!”

“Hah? Pervert! Y-you dare!”

“Hehe, just kidding…”

Lin Xiao dry laughed and took his hands away.

Elena relaxed but felt something was off.

Usually, Lin Xiao would definitely continue to take advantage of her no matter how she threatened him. So how come this time he gave up so easily?

She understood after turning around.

“Lin Xiao, are you okay? Don’t force yourself if your head hurts, let’s find a place to rest.” Shen DaiYing walked over with a worried expression, and even gently pushed Caesar, who was in the way, aside.

Elena suspected that if she wasn’t supporting him, Shen DaiYing would disregard her identity and rush over to fawn on him.

Elena didn’t know what this vixen was thinking… why did she care about Lin Xiao so much?

She clearly already rejected him, but recently, it feels like she’s been purposely teasing him.

What did she want?

Elena was curious how long she could keep it up for.

Lin Xiao already saw through her identity, and the day when she would fall from her respected position was closing in. Everything would change then.

“Sister Ying? I-I’m fine… don’t worry, let’s go!” Lin Xiao waved the map at Shen DaiYing and smiled.

That was how he smoothed over his side effects and also used it as an opportunity to order everyone to go into hidden battle mode.

Since he was the leader, no one really had any objections and went along with it.

And so, the second and third days passed like that peacefully. They followed the map while hiding from enemies and headed towards the silver vault to get even with Charles.

But on the way, they met a group of strange people…
