Chapter 210 – What Are You If Not an Idiot? (2/2)

Seeing the graceful princess return, Lin Xiao was very happy and forgot to let go of her slender waist even after Bamboo Academy ran off. They were like a loving couple, leaning against a tree and leisurely having an intimate conversation.

“Sister Ying, sorry for making you wait!”

“Un, you cam back.” Shen DaiYing who was lying in his embrace quietly responded, “Where did you go? I thought you weren’t coming back.”

“How is that possible? Sister Ying, there’s no way I would leave you behind!”

“Hehe, is that so? … Sorry, I lost myself a bit earlier. I never thought I would survive yet you saved me and even said those things, so… you understand, right?”

“Yeah, I get it.” Lin Xiao obviously didn’t mind her rare breakdowns, and gently continued, “Sister Ying, actually, I also…”

“Lin Xiao, since you understand, then you naturally know why nothing will happen between us, right?” Shen DaiYing interrupted him, as if she could guess what he was about to say.

“… why not?”

Why did she bring this up again?

“Lin Xiao, don’t be foolish, I don’t doubt your feelings, but even if I’m willing to marry you, I can’t do it… Actually, I wasn’t kidding earlier, the only thing I can give you right now is my body.”

“Uh… Sister Ying, you can keep your body, rather than that, isn’t your current situation more important?” Lin Xiao scratched his head in annoyance and changed the topic.

“Me?”

“Yes, since you failed to kill Charles, wouldn’t you be punished?”

“Probably, not.”

She never thought he would change the topic like this.

Lin Xiao was currently hugging her from behind, his voice came from behind her ear at a steady pace, like an idle chat over tea. It was natural and casual and made her feel at ease, it was like nothing happened last night, none of that blood and killing existed, she wasn’t a killer, just a injured girl that was being embraced by her lover.

There was one thing Shen DaiYing couldn’t understand, how could Lin Xiao talk about these things so calmly? Did he not care at all that she was a killer? If it was someone else who saw that side of her, they would’ve already run away a long time ago.

“Although Charles didn’t die, they also paid a price and my identity wasn’t revealed. So I’m fine even if I failed, probably…”

If Xiao Hua knew of what happened to her, who knows what kind of expression she would make. She was alive and so was Charles, both sides were able to survive from this assassination attempt, it was unheard of.

“As long as you’re okay.” After hearing her response, Lin Xiao breathed out a sigh of relief, then took out something behind him and passed it to her, “Here.”

“Eh? This is…”

Shen DaiYing lowered her head and saw two familiar swords.

She couldn’t be any more familiar with them. Her long sword Snow, and short sword, Soul Slayer.

“It would be troublesome if your swords were left there, right? Someone would find out so I went to get them for you.” Lin Xiao fearlessly placed the swords in her hands then laughed and said, “As for the clothes and shoes you took off, I also wanted to take it, but… uh, don’t be mistaken, I wasn’t planning to take it home! Honest!”

“Hehe, it’s fine, as long as you like it.”

Shen DaiYing smiled after hearing his joke, she didn’t mind and hugged her cherished swords.

There was no mud or blood on the sword, it was evident that Lin Xiao already wiped it clean. The beautiful flower engravings on the sheath made her feel at ease.

The long sword was a gift from her sister when she was younger, and it was left at the scene of the crime. She thought that she would die so she didn’t go pick it up, but not only did she not die, she even got her swords back…

“Lin Xiao, I really don’t understand you, are you an idiot?”

“Ah?” He had originally thought that he would receive her thanks, but instead got rebuked.

“You clearly know I’m a killer but you’re not afraid of returning my swords? What are you if not an idiot?” As she said that, she casually placed her hand on Snow’s hilt.

“I know you like this sword so I have to give it back to you, I…”

“Lin Xiao! Are you not afraid that I’ll kill you?”

Suddenly, she drew her sword. Even though she was heavily injured, she was still as fast as lightning. At such a close distance, he couldn’t even see her movements and the blade was already placed against his neck.

“Lin Xiao, since you know my secret and even saw me naked, shouldn’t I kill you?”

“Uh…”

Lin Xiao swallowed as he felt the ice cold sensation against his neck.
