Chapter 321 – Cleaver in the Kitchen (2/2)
“And yet you still curse at me all the time… so that means only I’m not a lowly human?”
“No, you are the most disgusting scum among all the lowly humans, cursing at you is actually praise.”
“Oh, so that means I should be thanking you?”
“You’re welcome, just don’t do strange things to me from now on.”
“Tsk, stop getting ahead of yourself, all you have are your breasts, when I get Sister Ying, I won’t be bothering you anymore!”
“Thank you, I can’t ask for more.”
As he watched their loving banter, Xiao Tian felt like he was an unnecessary existence, yet he was afraid to speak up so he could only silently lean against the wall while playing dumb.
“Xiao Tian, I’ve decided. For this S rank mission, I’ll also join your team!” Finally, Lin Xiao turned and announced his decision.
“O-okay…”
Xiao Tian obediently agreed to the conclusion that he had expected.
“Your sister just used too much magic, she’ll be fine after resting for a few days. Tomorrow, the nuns from the Holy Light Church will continue treating you, and you’ll probably recover within a week, we’ll leave then!”
“Oh…”
Xiao Tian obediently nodded.
The problem was, other than listening, he had no other choice. Although he said he wanted to team up with them, but his purpose was to travel with princess ShenDai Ying, if he didn’t agree, Lin Xiao would probably break his legs…
Even though brother Xiao is usually easy to talk to, it feels like he could do anything when he gets serious!
Wait… why is he still calling him brother Xiao? Why is he recognizing him as his brother? Their ages aren’t even that far apart!
Xiao Tian saw them off with a stomach full of complaints while waiting for next weeks travel.
“Yawn, I’m so tired… Elena, let’s just find a room somewhere instead of going home.” Lin Xiao yawned and sleepily said.
“Okay… but two rooms.” Elena corrected him.
“No, one! I have no money for two!”
“Stop lying, you just got your salary… two!”
“Uh… maid sleeping in the same room as their master is common sense, right?”
“Peh, you damn pervert, you just want to try and take advantage of me, right?”
“No, no, I’m really just tired and want to sleep.”
“Oh, you’re tired just because of that? It seems you’re already ‘incapable’, how embarrassing.”
“What? … Haha, Elena, it seems you’re itching for it lately?” Lin Xiao never expected Elena to turn it around on him and ridicule him.
How to put it? It seems like Elena has been changing ever so slightly recently, not as cold as before, maybe to others, but it felt like she had more emotions towards Lin Xiao.
“Okay, then in order to prove that I’m ‘very capable’, I’ll let you personally experience my capability as a human male.”
“Lin Xiao, let me remind you, inns have kitchens.”
“What about kitchens?”
“Kitchens have cleavers.”
“Uh… okay, I was just joking earlier.”
And so, Lin Xiao and them rested up for their departure a week later. But what they never expected was that all the other investigators already left a while ago, especially that steadfast prince who already set upon that thorny road that he persistently chose.
