Chapter 238 – You Masochistic Maid (1/2)
After hearing Snow’s recount, Lin Xiao blinked a couple of times and fell silent.
He couldn’t even fathom that Elena would do those kind of things when he was unconscious, so surprise was inevitable. After the shock, he felt a surge of warm emotions that he never had before filling his empty heart.
It’s the first time he experienced this strange emotion, originally, he was super upset and planned to teach his disobedient maid a lesson afterwards. But now, he couldn’t even get angry and felt like everything he did for Elena was worth it.
Even if he abandoned Shen DaiYing, even if he was almost killed by Elena, in the end, being able to receive Elena’s kiss, and her sincere tears, no matter how much truth was there in what Snow said, this rare treasure was his greatest harvest.
Even though Elena always talks about wanting to kill him, but when he was actually dying, Elena was desperate to save him.
He has received her undisguised intentions.
Trust… something they never asked for, was beginning to sprout.
“Hey, is your hand and tongue okay?”
Seeing that it was getting awkward, Lin Xiao softly spoke towards Elena.
“Hmph, I won’t die.” Elena turned her head away to avoid his gaze, using her long silver hair to hide her flushed cheeks and used a cold tone to hide her inner embarrassment.
“Elena, you…”
“Lin Xiao, don’t overthink it, the only reason I saved you was out of moral obligation!”
“Eh, moral obligation?”
“That’s right. My father taught me that as a person… uh no, as a demon, the most important thing is morality and justice, return favors and take revenge as necessary! Don’t easily spare an enemy, and never let a friend down!” Elena spoke shakily, her injured tongue made some words unclear, but it was still rather imposing.
“So?” Lin Xiao didn’t get it.
“So, we’re even! Now I don’t owe you anything… s-so doesn’t look at me with that disgusting expression!” When Elena spoke, she still didn’t look at him and there were no signs of the redness dissipating, only her putting on a show with her indifferent tone.
“Uh, so?”
“So, so…”
After being repeatedly pressed by Lin Xiao, Elena couldn’t follow up anymore. If Lin Xiao had to get tot he bottom of it and forced her to say it, wouldn’t it be so embarrassing? It was even worse than death!
“Hehe, brother, let me help her continue. Actually, what Elena wants to say is, she didn’t save you because she likes you, she also wasn’t heartbroken watching you die. Her tears were all fake, actually, she doesn’t care about you at all!”
“W-what did you say!?”
Hearing the strange things Snow said, Elena almost fainted.
“Uh… Snow, you were being sarcastic right?”
Lin Xiao obviously knew what his eccentric sister was thinking of and quickly understood what she meant and couldn’t help but get embarrassed.
“Ah, what a magnificent love!” Snow strangely sighed and placed Lin Xiao’s hand on her chest, tilted her head with a sorrowful expression like a passionate poet speaking of a poignant love story, “Ah! Monarch of the Demons, an unrivaled red-eyes black cat, fell in love with an ordinary human. Her love touched the heavens and the earth, surpassing the barriers of status and power, and even race! In order to obtain his love, she sold her sex, sold her dignity, and willingly became a lowly maid! How touching!”
“…”
“…”
“…”
Everyone was silent and stared at Snow.
“Ah! Elena, I’m so touched, I’m almost crying!”
Perhaps it was because she became use to praying towards the Goddess at the Church, and preaching towards the believers. Snow’s speaking was infectious and really did give them a sense of sorrow.
They thought that she would continue to sing praises of Elena’s greatness, but she suddenly changed the subject.
“But Elena, do you think brother would fall in love with you like that? No! Stop dreaming, that’s impossible!”
Snow suddenly tightly gripped Lin Xiao’s hand, her fingernails digging into his flesh, and she wouldn’t let go even as Lin Xiao cried out in pain.
