Picked up a Demon King to be a Maid

Chapter 258: Lovers Who Don’t Have to Take Responsibility

Thud, thud, thud.

A rhythmic sound came from the kitchen, even though Lin Xiao knew it was just the sound of Elena chopping food, he felt panicked. It didnt sound like she was cutting food, it sound like she was pressing her enemy against the chopping board and crazily cleaving them, every chop carried an intense anger and hatred.

He didnt understand why Elena was angry was it because she caught him flirting with Shen DaiYing? It shouldnt be, she already knew he liked Shen DaiYing, so it wouldnt be a surprise to see them together, and it would make no sense for her to get angry.

Shes just a maid, so who he flirted with had nothing to do with her.

Lin Xiao guessed that she was probably angry because of the shopping he asked her to go buy food, yet Shen DaiYing came over with a bunch of ingredients so he made her go for nothing. Also everything was of much higher quality and it was incomparable to her lousy potatoes and rotten cabbages.

Why did she have to waste all that time if she knew Shen DaiYing was going to come? Anyways, her ingredients are better, she cooks well, she has a good personality, her legs are long, shes also beautiful, much better than this dumb maid thats always messing up and throwing temper tantrums, right?

Thud, thud, thud!

The sound of hateful chopping was still audible.

Lin Xiao was lazing on the sofa alone, uneasily waiting for lunch being made.

He didnt need to explain to Elena, but it was awkward when he was caught on the spot and he was worried that Elena would misunderstand, so he forced his way into the kitchen to explain that Shen DaiYing only came to fulfill her promise of making lunch.

Elena had no comment.

After the initial shock, Elena didnt complain at all, the first thing she did was drive Lin Xiao out of the kitchen for getting in the way, then glared at Shen DaiYing who was standing next to her, like a female tiger guarding her territory.

Thud, thud, thud!

Perhaps she was substituting the knife as her fangs, and thats why she used so much force, but unfortunately, she was still too inexperienced when it came to playing with knives

Sure enough, the sound of the knife filled with hatred soon stopped and then Shen DaiYings gentle coaching voice was heard.

Elena, thats not the right way to cut, youre gripping the knife incorrectly, and you cant use so much strength, you cant just rely on your arm strength, you have to learn how to work your wrist and fingers together!

Hmph I dont know how to, why dont you do it?

Me? Hehe, thats fine too, let me just demonstrate for you once.

Demonstrate?

Lin Xiao felt that something was off, like something was about to happen, so he peaked into the kitchen and saw Elena angrily pointing the knife towards Shen DaiYing.

Here!

Did she not understand human social etiquette, or was she purposely letting out anger? She handed over the knife with the blade out, even if she wasnt actually stabbing, it gave Lin Xiao quite a fright.

However, Shen DaiYing didnt mind, she didnt flinch, or evade and never looked away from Elenas eyes. She didnt panic even when the blade was millimeters away from her chest.

Hehe, thanks.

She took the knife and gripped it with her slender fingers and twirled it around.

Watch closely.

Saying that, she picked up a carrot with her left hand, griped the knife with her right and took a deep breath.

In the blink of an eye, the sky was filled with knife flashes.

Lin Xiao couldnt even react and that pitiful carrot was cut into small pieces.

Using sword arts even when cutting food? You can even do that?

Not just Lin Xiao, even Elena raised her eyebrows slightly. She was slightly surprised, but still forcibly restrained herself and deliberately pretended to not care.

Watch closely, its a bit different when cutting meat.

She pushed the carrots aside then picked up a piece of pork and placed it on the cutting board. She slightly adjusted her grip and continued her demonstration.

Lin Xiao watched dumbstruck as the slippery meat was cut into small pieces at an astonishing speed. There was no delay at all, her impressive knife skills was breathtaking.

If it was Elena, it probably would take most of the day for her to cut that piece of meat. She might even cut herself because of how slippery the meat is.

As expected of a sword expert, it turns out that her assassination techniques could even be used in this way she could cook, was kind, could fight, Shen DaiYing was really an almighty wife!

Lin Xiao couldnt help but think of going to Snow for another one of those slave contracts and use it with Shen DaiYing so that shell also become his maid, how good would that be cough, of course, he was just kidding about that.

Do you see what I mean?

After demonstrating, she did a beautiful knife trick, the stupidly heavy kitchen knife was like a feather in her hands and flew towards Elena chest.

Damn!

Lin Xiao was startled and thought Shen DaiYing was paying back what Elena did earlier.

But, even though they were both pretending to stab the chest, Elena would definitely get injured this time because her bust was several times larger!

Here you go!

Sure enough, Shen DaiYing thrust the knife out! But it wasnt with the blade, but the handle she pinched the blade as she handed the knife over like she was afraid of hurting Elena.

Elena paused, then silently took the knife. Shen DaiYing chuckled and looked at Lin Xiao who was peeking, like she was blaming him for worrying unnecessarily.

Did you think I would hurt her? Your maid is so cute, so how could I?

Uh okay, stop messing around, Im still waiting!

Lin Xiao awkwardly coughed and said something a master would say and went back to laze on the sofa.

Thud, thud, thud Elenas hateful chopping continued again, but this time it was accompanied with noises of cooking.

Lin Xiao regrettably found that he couldnt hear their conversation anymore. He was afraid of them fighting but didnt dare to eavesdrop again and could only anxiously roll around on the sofa and hope that time passed quicker.

A beauty coming to his house to cook should be a good thing, but for some reason his stomach hurt.

He realized that he probably wouldnt be able to enjoy todays meal.

Hehe, Elena, you seem to have a great deal of animosity towards me. Through the cover of the cooking sounds, Shen DaiYing knew that Lin Xiao couldnt hear so she approached Elena and gently spoke next to her, Dont worry, I didnt come here today to declare war and Im not going to take away your master, I just want to make a meal cant I?

In that case, concentrate and stop talking. Elena coldly glanced at her and continued working.

Hehe, how cold Elena, are you jealous?

Tsk Shen DaiYing, arent you going to teach me how to cook? If not, then Im leaving!

Oh, its just scrambled eggs, its simple, just do as I say.

Shen DaiYing got back on track and started teaching Elena had to make a beginner dish, scrambled eggs.

Shen DaiYing thought that Elena was purposely changing the topic, but she noticed that Elena was actually seriously learning, so she also concentrated and worked with her for a while and finally taught her how to make scrambled eggs. Then she began preparing the Great Qin cuisine that she excelled at.

Elena, help me prepare the ingredients and seasonings.

Okay.

The atmosphere gradually eased and Shen DaiYing cooked halfheartedly while trying to find a chance to talk with Elena again.

Elena, you really dont have to think of me as an enemy, although your master likes me, but I havent accepted him.

I really cant trust the words of a vixen who throws herself at people.

Elena had an inexplicable dislike of Shen DaiYing, as she handed over some sugar.

Oh, youre referring to us hugging earlier dont misunderstand, thats just because I promised him before, yet he rejected me, hm I dont know what hes worried about, even if we did it, I wouldnt make him take responsibility.

Doing it and not needing to take responsibility, is this what the humans call lover, or rather mistress?

Mistress, is it

Shen DaiYing prudently opened the bottle of sugar and tasted it, worried that Elena swapped it with salt, then poured it in the pot after confirming and went back to chatting.

Un, perhaps youre right, but Im satisfied with that kind of relationship but what about you?

Me?

Seeing as how Shen DaiYing suspected her of swapping the sugar with salt, Elena frowned and her dislike of Shen DaiYing grew even more as she slowly handed over the cut meat.

Thats right Elena, if Im his mistress then what are you? A maid? Of course not or perhaps, youre actually his wife, and preparing to bear his children?

What!? You

After hearing what she said, Elena suddenly remembered that she had to bear Lin Xiaos children to be free from the contract and couldnt help but suddenly lose focus and dropped the bowl in her hand.

Careful!

Noticing her state, Shen DaiYing quickly reacted and caught the falling bowl then relaxed.

Oh my, what are you so surprised for, could it be I hit the bullseye?

Shen DaiYing put the bowl aside and approached Elena speaking next to her ear like a pair of intimate sisters.

But Elena, even if you want to have his children, even if you want to be his wife, you cant, right?

Nearly biting Elenas earlobe, her voice was eerie, and she finally said the words that had been brewing for so long.

After all, hes human and youre a demon isnt that right, beautiful miss red-eyed black cat?
