Picked up a Demon King to be a Maid

Chapter 217: A Fleeting Dream

Shen DaiYing revealed everything about Andersons targets, using the cavalcade as a cover, and about the Lesser Devils.

Lin Xiao silently listened from the beginning to the end, although he foresaw most of it, his eyebrows jumped at the crucial parts, and he couldnt help but clench his teeth to suppress his worry.

Shen DaiYing wouldnt lie, so Elena was in danger!

Although she may be invincible after transforming into a red-eyed black cat, but, but

Okay, even if Anderson is up to something, Snow is still there. With her intelligence, how could she let Anderson do as he pleases? So it should probably be fine.

Yes, he wasnt worried, since Snow was there, why would he need to be worried?

As for the palpitations and his anxiousness that was all because he didnt get any sleep!

Snow? That young Saintess do you think a child can stop Anderson by herself?

Faced against her overbearing gaze, Lin Xiao shook his head.

No, maybe not, but theres still Caesar! With his strength, even if he cant beat them, he should be able to escape and survive

Even though Shen DaiYing already took a step back, Lin Xiao was still beating around the bush. Shen DaiYing boiled with rage as she looked at his appearance.

Caesar? Heh, is the person youre worried about Caesar? Lin Xiao, stop trying to deceive me with foolishness!

She suddenly felt that the man in front of her was really laughable.

Elena! The person whos really in danger is your maid, right?

She doesnt have any strength, even if Caesar luckily survives, can she?

Do you want her to die? Are you willing? Answer me! Huh?

I

Lin Xiao stayed silent when faced with Shen DaiYings interrogation.

Please stop asking, I really cant answer you!

Lin Xiao felt like his head was about to explode.

Sister Ying, youre right, all of it! But thats why I cant answer you!

It might not be too late, theres still a way Lin Xiao, you definitely have a way, am I right?

A way?

Stop with that nonsense! You noisy woman what kind of way would I have?

Andersons scheme would involve a lot of people, do you not want to stop him?

Of course not!

I dont want to get involved with something so strange!

I just want to live my life eating and playing.

Why the fuck do I have to worry about who dies or not?

Lin Xiao, why arent you speaking? Do you want to see a tragedy happen?

Thats right!

So what?

Even if Caesar dies, there are other people who can become heroes!

Even if Rosie dies, theres going to be one less willful fool!

As for Elena

She

I

Lin Xiao, arent you strong? Even stronger than me, right! If its you, you should be able to save them, what are you still hesitating for?

What am I hesitating for?

You fool, you clearly know so why do you have to force me to say it?

I saved you! Why dont you just quietly embrace me and be my wife? Instead of spouting all that crap

Damn! Why do you keep forcing me?

Lin Xiao!!!

Shen DaiYing couldnt take his silence anymore. She roughly gripped his cheeks and faced him, demanding an answer.

Shen DaiYing!

Finally, Lin Xiao clenched his teeth and was able to squeeze out some words.

I, I, I just

I just

Just

Like Lin Xiaos voice was almost inaudible.

Like.

He continuously repeated that word.

I like you.

It wasnt a lie, those were his sincere words.

Shen DaiYing, I just want to stay with you! What do they have to do with me? If Caesar dies, then your engagement would be cancelled, then I can openly marry you are you not willing?

Of course Im willing

Why was she forcing Lin Xiao?

She already knew the answer, and his feelings were clear. Why couldnt she just shut her mouth and be his wife?

If she kept silent and awaited tragedy, then she could successfully obtain the happiness she longed for, so why did she have to get to the bottom of it?

Perhaps it was because Lin Xiaos words werent from the heart.

She couldnt accept a forged happiness.

If you can stay with me, of course Im willing

It was like a heavy burden was lifted, she let go of Lin Xiaos face and sat silently, her peaceful smile sharply contrasted her urgency from earlier.

Yes, it would be nice if Lin Xiao could stay.

Even if everyone died, Lin Xiao would still stay with her. Just thinking about that made her feel comfortable.

But

But, am I worth it? It was like a question but also self-ridicule, Shen DaiYing took a deep breath and asked, Answer me, if Elena died, would you be heartbroken?

Eh?

Your maid, if she wasnt with you anymore, would you be sad? Or have you never even thought about it? Days when Elena isnt by your side you havent even thought about it at all, right?

Shen DaiYing was still smiling, her gentle tone didnt have any forcefulness, but Lin Xiao trembled like he received a huge shock.

Elena, gone?

If Elena was gone, then he could be free.

He wouldnt be constantly pestered by a nasty Demon King.

He didnt have to worry about getting involved in the fight between the Church and the Demons.

There wouldnt be any gluttonous cats stealing his money.

There also wouldnt be anyone poisoning his breakfast.

There also wouldnt be anyone swearing at him and calling him a pervert with a cold expression.

If Elena wasnt there, he could fully concentrate on his relationship with Shen DaiYing and fight to become the emperors son-in-law.

But that kind of life without Elena, what would it be like?

Lin Xiao has never thought about it.

Not even once.

He always thought that he could maintain his current life and Elena will always be his maid.

That made him feel at ease, and comfortable.

Elena would never leave.

The enemies would never appear.

He always thought

Lin Xiao, stop lying to yourself, go and save her. Dont worry about me, I may be wounded, but more than enough to protect myself dont forget, I also have the two swords you got for me.

Lying to myself? Im not! Im not going!

Though he was saying obstinate things, but at that instant, an incomparably cozy scene appeared in front of him.

It was am elegant girl wearing a sexy maid outfit, swaying back and forth with him lying lazily on their sofa at home, peacefully enjoying their free time.

He still remembered that Elena once said that he would have to make a choice, a choice between her and Shen DaiYing, because she was Shen DaiYings enemy

Is this the choice she was referring to?

To leave or to stay.

He had to choose between one of them.

He could only choose one of them.

Idiot. She looked at his mixed expressions and gently pulled his neck over.

Sister Ying? Mhmff

When he came out of it, he noticed that his lips were blocked by something soft.

Shen DaiYing kissed him like they were lovers, one-sidedly giving him all the warmth that she could and greedily enjoying that brief and unreal happiness, as if she wanted to catch every minute, every second.

But time was one thing that could never be caught.

Like an hourglass, the remaining precious time gradually elapsed second by second

Okay! Enough!

Seemingly satisfied, Shen DaiYing suddenly pushed Lin Xiao away and turned her back to him. She sternly sent him away like a she was a different person.

Go! Lin Xiao, dont worry about me. My promise wont change, Im still willing to give my body to you, so you can come find me anytime.

I

Still not leaving? Stop dawdling!

Sorry, I

Shen DaiYing never turned around and didnt know what kind of expression Lin Xiao had. All she heard was him apologizing as his voice faded until it completely disappeared into the depths of the forest.

She never turned even at the end.

Miss

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the shrubs, and then a girl with freckles appeared in front of Shen DaiYing.

Eh? Xiao Hua? W-why are you here?

Shen DaiYing froze, then guessed the reason and quickly covered her face and rubbed her eyes like she was hiding something.

You dont have to cover it up, I saw everything

No greeting, no concern, these were Xiao Huas first words after meeting.

Wu no, I just

Do you need me to kill him? Xiao Hua frowned and seriously asked.

Ah? N-no why would you do that?

A man who made you cry doesnt deserve to live.

She had a cold expression and killing intent as she looked towards where the youth left.

Cry? Hehe, what are you saying? Im not crying, why would I be crying?

Shen DaiYing was still smiling but she clutched Xiao Huas arm and hugged her.

Miss?

Drip, drip

If that wasnt the sound of tears.

Then it was probably the sound of a sweet dream shattering.
