Picked Up A Demon King To Be A Maid Chapter 210 – What Are You If Not An Idiot?

Though Lin Tian didn't sense their presence, but since his sister said so, it must be so. He clenched his staff and ran over casting magic.

“Hail!”

The pitter-patter of the ice a.s.saulted the dense shrubs, crus.h.i.+ng all the branches in its way. Lin Tian quickly ran over to confirm the situation but found that there wasn't anyone there.

“Strange, where are they?”

Lin Tian lowered his head and saw the footprints and traces of blood, confirming that someone was here, but he couldn't find them.

“d.a.m.n… where did they go?” Lin Tian grumbled.

Then they heard a faint but clear snapping sound.

Snap.

“Watch out!”

For some reason, Yao Zi suddenly shouted!

“Eh? Sis, you…”

Lin Tian turned around not understanding why she was so shocked, but before he could ask, she already tackled him to the ground.

Something brushed buy above him and collided with the large tree behind him, cutting it in half.

“Wind blade? It's an ambus.h.!.+ We were had!” Lin Tian cursed and prepared to counter, but was pulled up by Yao Zi.

“Quiet, hurry up and run!” Yao Zi didn't hesitate and began running right after pulling him up.

“Eh? Again? No, I'm not running, I'm going to fight!”

“Stop being an idiot! We can't beat them!”

“But sis, we don't even know who they are, how are you sure we cant beat them?”

“I… I just know! Just trust me! I wont lie to you, let's go!” Yao Zi who was usually feeble, suddenly became rather tough. She and the other two teammates sandwiched Lin Tian and ran away.

“d.a.m.n it…”

Lin Tian was unwilling, but he couldn't resist, and the four once again scurried away like rats.

…

…

“Phew, that was close, good thing I came back on time, otherwise you would have been caught.” Lin Xiao was carrying the silent beauty and wiped his sweat.

Shen DaiYing was well hidden in the shrubs, but was found by Yao Zi. Lin Xiao came back right on time and silently moved her away.

Lin Xiao was prepared to fight, they weren't that strong so he could finish off the four of them by himself. What was unexpected was that they didn't choose to fight.

That boy with the same surname as him was just a fool, but that Yao Zi was a bit strange.

Not only did she notice Lin Xiao's well concealed instant cast wind blade and was able to avoid it. She even evaluated his strength based on that in an instant and unhesitatingly chose to run…

Strange, how did she know? Did she also have a perception skill like Elena? That can't be it, she's a human.

Another thing that Lin Xiao noticed was that they were holding a map, seemingly towards the silver vault.

Strange, Charles said that there were only two copies of the map, so why they did they have it?

Did they pick it up?

Then isn't their luck too good?

He didn't understand what's with them, but he didn't care and was too lazy to chase after them, so he let them go.

Rather than fighting, there was something more important he had to do. He planned to used the remaining time to comfort Shen DaiYing!

He was finally embracing his future wife, how could he miss this perfect opportunity?

While Lin Xiao was gone, Shen DaiYing also had a chance to calm down while she was recovering. Her expression finally turned back to normal, her eyes weren't soulless and turned back to her usual affectionate and charming manner.

Seeing the graceful princess return, Lin Xiao was very happy and forgot to let go of her slender waist even after Bamboo Academy ran off. They were like a loving couple, leaning against a tree and leisurely having an intimate conversation.

“Sister Ying, sorry for making you wait!”

“Un, you cam back.” Shen DaiYing who was lying in his embrace quietly responded, “Where did you go? I thought you weren't coming back.”

“How is that possible? Sister Ying, there's no way I would leave you behind!”

“Hehe, is that so? … Sorry, I lost myself a bit earlier. I never thought I would survive yet you saved me and even said those things, so… you understand, right?”

“Yeah, I get it.” Lin Xiao obviously didn't mind her rare breakdowns, and gently continued, “Sister Ying, actually, I also…”

“Lin Xiao, since you understand, then you naturally know why nothing will happen between us, right?” Shen DaiYing interrupted him, as if she could guess what he was about to say.

“… why not?”

Why did she bring this up again?

“Lin Xiao, don't be foolish, I don't doubt your feelings, but even if I'm willing to marry you, I can't do it… Actually, I wasn't kidding earlier, the only thing I can give you right now is my body.”

“Uh… Sister Ying, you can keep your body, rather than that, isn't your current situation more important?” Lin Xiao scratched his head in annoyance and changed the topic.

“Me?”

“Yes, since you failed to kill Charles, wouldn't you be punished?”

“Probably, not.”

She never thought he would change the topic like this.

Lin Xiao was currently hugging her from behind, his voice came from behind her ear at a steady pace, like an idle chat over tea. It was natural and casual and made her feel at ease, it was like nothing happened last night, none of that blood and killing existed, she wasn't a killer, just a injured girl that was being embraced by her lover.

There was one thing Shen DaiYing couldn't understand, how could Lin Xiao talk about these things so calmly? Did he not care at all that she was a killer? If it was someone else who saw that side of her, they would've already run away a long time ago.

“Although Charles didn't die, they also paid a price and my ident.i.ty wasn't revealed. So I'm fine even if I failed, probably…”

If Xiao Hua knew of what happened to her, who knows what kind of expression she would make. She was alive and so was Charles, both sides were able to survive from this a.s.sa.s.sination attempt, it was unheard of.

“As long as you're okay.” After hearing her response, Lin Xiao breathed out a sigh of relief, then took out something behind him and pa.s.sed it to her, “Here.”

“Eh? This is…”

Shen DaiYing lowered her head and saw two familiar swords.

She couldn't be any more familiar with them. Her long sword Snow, and short sword, Soul Slayer.

“It would be troublesome if your swords were left there, right? Someone would find out so I went to get them for you.” Lin Xiao fearlessly placed the swords in her hands then laughed and said, “As for the clothes and shoes you took off, I also wanted to take it, but… uh, don't be mistaken, I wasn't planning to take it home! Honest!”

“Hehe, it's fine, as long as you like it.”

Shen DaiYing smiled after hearing his joke, she didn't mind and hugged her cherished swords.

There was no mud or blood on the sword, it was evident that Lin Xiao already wiped it clean. The beautiful flower engravings on the sheath made her feel at ease.

The long sword was a gift from her sister when she was younger, and it was left at the scene of the crime. She thought that she would die so she didn't go pick it up, but not only did she not die, she even got her swords back…

“Lin Xiao, I really don't understand you, are you an idiot?”

“Ah?” He had originally thought that he would receive her thanks, but instead got rebuked.

“You clearly know I'm a killer but you're not afraid of returning my swords? What are you if not an idiot?” As she said that, she casually placed her hand on Snow's hilt.

“I know you like this sword so I have to give it back to you, I…”

“Lin Xiao! Are you not afraid that I'll kill you?”

Suddenly, she drew her sword. Even though she was heavily injured, she was still as fast as lightning. At such a close distance, he couldn't even see her movements and the blade was already placed against his neck.

“Lin Xiao, since you know my secret and even saw me naked, shouldn't I kill you?”

“Uh…”

Lin Xiao swallowed as he felt the ice cold sensation against his neck.
