Chapter 243 – In Every Sense of the Word (1/2)

Lin Xiao never planned to put on such a corny play, but he had no choice.

Snow told him earlier that she already sent the signal for the Crucifix Guards, so all he had to do was silently wait.

Of course, Lin Xiao was happy to wait to get picked up, but something else made him get busy again.

Don’t forget, Caesar and Rosie were still unconscious at the silver vault, and the Lesser Devils weren’t all dead yet!

Without Anderson’s control, these monsters revealed their brutal side, some ran wildly towards the forest, the others returned to the silver vault, seemingly wanting to kill Caesar and Rosie.

This was a big deal, so he had to pick up his battered body and continue to work.

After his short meeting with Snow, they each left to do their own things.

Snow took Elona to chase the Lesser Devils that escaped, and Lin Xiao staggered away with Elena’s support.

They were still cordial when Snow was there, but when they were alone and in so close proximity, the atmosphere became ambiguous.

After what happened, they still haven’t found a new way to interact with each other. Their old relationship had been completely broken down, but the new one hadn’t been established yet, so now it was just awkward.

Sobbing, confession, pouring out one’s heart, if the slave contract was why they would never be able to trust each other, then this incident was a chance to let trust sprout between them.

Lin Xiao finally knew that Elena wasn’t willing to have him die, and Elena realized that she couldn’t steel herself to kill him, she even shed tears and bled for him…

Let alone Elena, if this was a day ago, Lin Xiao would never believe it either.

Elena would cry and self-harm for him? Don’t be foolish, Lin Xiao wouldn’t even dream about that happening, but in the end…

In the end, it wasn’t a dream, or a hallucination, Elena was supporting him right now. Although her expression was still as cold as ever, but there was a trace of gentleness in her eyes.

How nice would it be if Elena was just a normal maid?

With such a maid, what more could a man ask for?

“What are you looking at? Pervert!” Feeling his gaze, Elena pulled the fabric at her chest tighter, wanting to evade his peeping, but it had the opposite effect, not only did it not cover it, it shook more violently because of her movements.

Currently, Lin Xiao had one arm over her shoulder, and half his body was leaning against her. The two couldn’t get any closer, Lin Xiao could even smell the faint scent of her body.

“Hey, you’re not thinking of something dirty, right?”

“What? Get over yourself! Do you think you’re that beautiful? Dumb cat.” He subconsciously retorted her, but regretted it after saying it.

Usually he would laugh in these kind of situations, so why did he have to deny it?

Unless, he, towards Elena…

When thinking about that, Lin Xiao suddenly had an uncomfortable feeling. He felt his cheeks grow hot, but he still pretended to be calm.

And like so, they headed towards the remains awkwardly with neither one speaking to each other.

Because of her unique red eyed black cat bloodline, Elena had strong recovery abilities, so she was able to barely support Lin Xiao’s body.

“Strange, what’s going on?”

Perhaps it was because the remains were almost completely destroyed, Elena was able to use her perception skill within a small radius. While they were walking she suddenly noticed strange magic fluctuations.

She exchanged a glance with Lin Xiao, and he understood without her having to say anything.

And so, the two picked up their pace and headed in towards the familiar cave, finding Caesar and Rosie.

Other than them, there were four other idiots, two Bamboo Academy members by the entrance, and the other two siblings were huddling in a corner. Even if they were unconscious, they still gave off the appearance of intimate brother and sister.

These two really love showing their affection for each other, they don’t even forget to hug each other even when unconscious… damn, since you love each other so much, just go get married! As long as there’s love, it doesn’t matter if you’re siblings, right?

Of course that was just Lin Xiao ridiculing them inside his heart, not actually wanting them to commit incest…

When they walked into the cave, to their surprise, there were three Lesser Devil corpses in front of Yao Zi… no, those weren’t corpses, but exploded pieces of meat!

The bodies of the Lesser Devils underwent enhancements and modifications so it was very hard, but now it was just a pile of disgusting flesh, so you could imagine how strong the person who finished them off was!

So who was the one who did this?
