Chapter 204 – Why Do I Like You? Because… (2/2)

“We can? We can what!?”

She thought that Lin Xiao would say something like they could live in seclusion, find a small town and get married, have kids and get a plot of land and live a happy normal life, but she guessed wrong.

Lin Xiao didn’t feed her those pretenses but said something that made her neck cold…

“Sister Ying, I never thought you were such a powerful killer, you can even instakill a group of seventh level magicians. If you marry me, then who would I need to be afraid of? I can just get you to assassinate whoever offends me!”

Lin Xiao became happier the more he spoke, completely not noting Shen DaiYing’s increasingly cold expression.

“Sister Ying, since you’re an assassin, then you have to carry out your master’s orders, right?”

“Right.” Shen DaiYing tilted her head and stared at him, “So?”

“Then, from now on, I’m your master! And you’re my dedicated killer, so you have to obediently listen to my orders!”

“You’re my master? Oh, so that’s what it was…” Shen DaiYing bitterly smiled and suddenly understood.

She finally understood why Lin Xiao liked her.

That’s not to like someone at all.

The reason Lin Xiao approached her, talked to her and investigated her was to find proof she was a killer… and that was all to get a hold of her so he could get an obedient killer.

It was unexpected but not surprising.

Perhaps that’s the only reasonable answer.

Like he was responding to her supposition, he continued to speak excitedly bitterly disappointing words.

“Shen DaiYing! I officially announce that you’re my servant starting from right now! You’re my dedicated killer, you don’t have to think, you’re just a tool to carry out missions! You do whatever your master tells you to, a mere tool cannot disobey their master’s orders! Do you understand?”

“Is that so? … Then master, what’s your order?” Shen DaiYing had a dark expression, and asked like she already resigned herself to this fate.

Not only did he save her, he even saw through all her secrets. She was also severely injured right now and was imprisoned within Lin Xiao’s embrace, so she didn’t have any other choice.

So there was only one question left.

What was Lin Xiao’s order?

What kind of mission would he issue as the master?

“Who do you want me to kill? Caesar? Or Rosie? Or perhaps some high ranking official of Lombard Kingdom? I’ll carry it out no matter who it is.” Shen DaiYing responded with her machine-like voice.

“No, I don’t want you to kill anyone.” Lin Xiao finally put on a serious expression and gazed into Shen DaiYing’s black eyes.

“!?…”

“Shen DaiYing!” Lin Xiao suddenly shouted.

“Yes.” Shen DaiYing answered in a daze.

“What should you call me?”

“Master.”

“Okay, now I’m ordering you…”

“What do you require of me, master?”

“Shen DaiYIng, I’m ordering you…”

“Yes, your order is…”

“I’m ordering you to, be, my, wife!”

“Yes, master… wait, what did you say? Hah?”

Shen DaiYing thought she misheard and looked at him incredulously, trying to read any useful information from his expression.

But she failed.

Because, Lin Xiao already pulled her into his arms!

“Shen DaiYing, I order you to be my wife! Did you hear that? You can’t refuse or resist, you have to obediently accept it. Stay by my side for the rest of your life, and you cant keep on doing stupid things! And you definitely can’t leave me! Do you hear me?”

“Lin Xiao!? You… you…”

Hearing his emotional confession, the third confession, Shen DaiYing shuddered, like she was struck by lightning. The corners of her mouth raised, her vision became blurry, and two streaks of scorching hot liquid flowed down her cheeks for some reason.

The youth’s warmth, she could feel it… even if the waves in her heart weren’t settling down, but his actions were gentle like water.

Was this Lin Xiao’s response?

Could, she believe in him?

To become his tool, his dedicated killer to carry out his order, that sole mission, her life’s mission…

To become his wife.

“Lin Xiao, do you really like me that much? You really are cute… hehe, but I… I…” What he heard were Shen DaiYing’s choking sobs.

The darkness in her eyes eventually disappeared and she regained her usual charming appearance. She was now back to that admirable princess.

But she was kind of strange.

Her squinted eyes were filled with tears.

Her sobbing voice began quivering…
