Chapter 257 – You’re My Woman! (2/2)

It wasn’t that he didn’t like her, or couldn’t do it, it was because the time wasn’t right… she never expected him to give another reason and couldn’t react in time.

“You… really got some nerve. If you are too greedy, you’ll be punished.” Shen DaiYing chuckled but didn’t look like she wanted to eat him anymore.

“Greedy, how?”

“How not? Do you think I don’t know what you’re planning… you made such a grandiose statement, but in actuality, you just want to possess me for longer, right?” Shen DaiYing tilted her head and laid down on his chest.

She knew what Lin Xiao was planning.

Don’t look at how this guy seems to be acting like a righteous gentleman, but she knew that his goal was to ‘attack the heart’.

If she became his wife, then he could do whatever he wanted to do to her? So there was no need to rush.

But it would be truly difficult if he wanted to succeed.

“I don’t care, I’m going to marry you anyway! Before that, I wont budge no matter how you tempt me.”

“What! Did I tempt you? Don’t make me out to be a dissatisfied ****, do you think I’m like this to any guy!?” She suddenly criticized with a cold face.

“Uh… no, I didn’t mean it like that.”

“Just kidding… but, sigh, I am indeed unsatisfied.”

“Eh? Really?”

Lin Xiao was immediately in the mood after hearing that.

“Uh… that was just a joke too.”

“Puh! … Cough, cough, Sister Ying, stop teasing me!”

He didn’t know why he couldn’t keep his composure with her, he just wanted to act cool but got teased instead, it was too cruel…

“Right… how’s your mission going?”

“Mission… not much, it’s barely manageable.”

Anderson was caught, the Lesser Devils exterminated, Shen DaiYing’s assassination went down the drain and Charles was able to last until Jennifer came thanks to Devoru. Although a lot of people died, that Scarlet Fairy was just reborn in a bloodbath and staved off a disaster.

Charles didn’t publicly reveal the assassination attempt and just used the excuse of clearing out any traitors of the church to investigate all the participants of the competition, but came up with nothing.

Since Shen DaiYing wore a face covering the entire time and didn’t reveal her identity, even if Charles had his suspicions, he had no evidence. He also couldn’t afford to offend the princess of the Great Qin Empire, so he could only give up.

“Speaking of that, I still have to thank you! If you didn’t retrieve my sword, that would’ve been troublesome!”

“… So, do you have any other missions?” Lin Xiao chose his words prudently and wanted to get some information.

“Why do you have to speak with such euphemism. Just ask me who else I need to kill.”

“Uh… pretty much, so, who else?”

“No, it’s over.” Shen DaiYing shook her head.

Because she used Dead Moon state it caused a lot of burden to her body, so she used that chance to tell Xiao Hua to report back that she was heavily injured and needed a while to recuperate. After obtaining permission, she didn’t have to take any more missions, and could relax for a while.

Lin Xiao was delighted with that news.

Time, that was what he lacked the most, with some time, he might be able to find a way to break her free of those shackles. Even if he couldn’t see an opportunity now, anything was possible with time.

“Sister Ying, then let’s…”

Time passed quickly and in an blink of an eye it was already lunchtime, so Lin Xiao was about to ask her to cook for his but he suddenly heard a dull thud.

It sounded like something landing on the floor.

Lin Xiao turned to see the door open with potatoes all over the floor and an overturned vegetable basket.

Then he heard a clear and empty voice.
