Chapter 331 – Weak Women Can Do Big Things (1/2)

Although ShenDai Ying couldn’t exactly understand what Elena was saying, but she could read the stinging arrogance from her tone.

ShenDai Ying felt like she was a weak and incompetent woman in Elena’s eyes. No matter how good she was with swords, how prestigious her status was, but she still needed someone to rely on, yearning for a dependable man to protect her, take care of her, and become her support.

So, was she a weak woman that had a desire to rely on men?

Really…

If it wasn’t for Elena mentioning it, ShenDai Ying had never even thought about it.

She was the imperial princess, a coldblooded killer, there were countless men chasing her and there were countless more souls departed by her sword, so how could she be weak?

“I’m tired, good night.”

Elena ignored ShenDai Ying and immediately turned to leave and went back to sleep.

ShenDai Ying laughed at herself as she watched Elena leaving.

Indeed, compared to Elena, she was indeed a bit weak, since Elena wasn’t human after all…

Pride, solitude, a disdain of everything, even though Elena was wearing a lowly maid’s outfit, she was insufferably arrogant. In comparison, her actions were indeed weaker, and were naturally detested by Elena.

But what’s wrong with being a weak girl?

What’s wrong with desiring for a reliable man?

I only want to pass the rest of my life with someone I like, each to their own, I just want to live a peaceful life, why should I be insulted for that?

Elena was too arrogant, she just came earlier than her by a bit, what’s the big deal? As a woman, Elena wasn’t even good enough!

She was insensitive, didn’t understand men, and always spoke coldly. No matter how big her chest was, or how beautiful she was, what’s the use?

Just look at how long Lin Xiao and Elena have been together, wasn’t their relationship still that ambiguous? If it were ShenDai Ying, she would have already eaten a pure little boy like Lin Xiao. How could she leave any room for any slut to come in?

“Tsk, self-important maid, one day I’ll show you that even weak women can do big things!”

ShenDai Ying clenched her fists and competed with her.

It was just because of the engagement, that’s why she couldn’t go all out and take the official step with Lin Xiao. Otherwise, a mere virgin like Lin Xiao would be collapsed by her feet with just a bit of temptation and become her obedient ***.

If that was the case, how would Elena still be able to act all haughty like that, she would probably be off crying somewhere!

Of course, there was no way for Elena to know about ShenDai Ying’s complicated thoughts, and if Lin Xiao was actually taken away, it was still unknown whether Elena would be off crying somewhere…

After that, every time ShenDai Ying and Elena looked at each other, their gazes were different. There was still some jealousy but they appeared to be more harmonious and the five people steadily moved to the next stop.

Finally, they arrived at the last stop before leaving Lombard Kingdom, and at the same time, the first stop towards Gotham Kingdom.

Nightown

When their carriage entered the town, it was just past lunch, the sultry heat made one drowsy. The only sounds were the gentle hooves of the horse on the sparsely populated street. To the distance was the wailing canyon, the towering valley was enveloped by a thin fog and it could even be seen from far away.

Today, the five were going to rest here for a couple of days and then pass through the canyon in one go.

The journey only truly started once they left Nighttown, before that, Lin Xiao planned to stay a couple of days to take a good rest and buy some supplies in case anything happens midway.

Of course, unlike his laziness, Xiao Tian strongly requested that they immediately left after one day of rest. They were already going at a slow pace and was long behind the other investigators.

Lin Xiao sternly refused that.

Actually, Xiao Tian wasn’t wrong. As a spot that one had to pass to leave the kingdom, all the investigators from Lombard kingdom would have to pass by. Several days ago on the road, Lin Xiao already noticed several carriages like theirs and ended up being passed by them, until they were left far behind.

Left late and moving slowly, Lin Xiao’s group was already the last team.

Let’s talk about Caesar. Caesar and Rosie left a whole week before them and moved quickly, not dragging it on like Lin Xiao. He had so many problems, like being hungry and wanting to eat, or being afraid of meeting bandits and wanting to take the long way, and he kept infuriating Elena and Xiao Tian.

Xiao Tian was afraid of calling him out, but Elena didn’t care, and Lin Xiao had his ample share of mental attacks!

Though it had very little success…

“Elena, Xiao Tian, I can understand your feelings for wanting to fight for all of humanity… but don’t forget, your body is your capital, if you don’t take good care of yourself, how can you go and take care of others?”

“…”

“…”

The carriage was speechless.

Elena almost forgot what this guy was good at. When they were in a team with Caesar, he could always come up with some sophistry to lead the entire team his way. Now that Caesar wasn’t here, ShenDai Ying was all docile and obedient, and Yao Zi also trusted him, so the only ones left were Elena and Xiao Tian, so they could only obediently follow him.
