Picked up a Demon King to be a Maid

Chapter 124: Bloodstained Butterfly Knot

Earlier, Rosie already told them about Shen DaiYings family.

Within the Great Qin Empire archipelagos, a feudal system nation, other than the official imperial family bloodline, there are many related nobles, and Shen DaiYings family was one such example.

Although the Shen Dai family didnt have much power, but they were close with the imperial family, especially with the empress. In recent years, their status has risen greatly among the vassal states, so they can not be underestimated.

Elena suspected that this damn pervert had ideas about Shen DaiYings family!

If Lin Xiao married Shen DaiYing, then he would become a respected kings son-in-law, and become related to the emperor, so he can enjoy a lifetime of riches without having to do anything.

That was also why he wanted to become a reserve hero, so how could he pass by a chance that was even more easy than becoming a reserve hero?

Become the kings son-in-law?

If it wasnt for Elena reminding him, he almost forgot about that.

He was chasing after Shen DaiYing because he wanted to become the kings son-in-law, its strange that he just realized such a fine thing.

Still acting? Elena was extremely unsatisfied with his response, and couldnt help but ridicule him, You idiot, perhaps her next assassination target will be you!

Me? T-then, what does that have to do with you? Lin Xiao wasnt about to give in.

Oh, it has nothing to do with me, I look forward to her killing you but I hope you realize that since Shen DaiYing is related to the lesser devils, then that means shes my enemy!

Enemy?

Lin Xiao just realized, since Shen DaiYing was connected to the Lesser Devils, and Elena was chased out from the Forest of the End by Lesser Devils, then that meant, sooner or later, Elena and Shen DaiYing would become mortal enemies.

When the time comes, he would have to choose between the demons or the Great Qin Empire. Although neither power had anything to do with him, he just wanted to be a normal person, and didnt want to be involved with any disputes or conspiracies, but he inevitably had to choose a side.

That was becuase each power represented a woman, two that have walked into his life

The first was the 89th Demon King, Elena Santemirion.

And the other was the Great Qin Empire princess, Shen DaiYing.

He could only choose one.

Ahhhhh. why did it become like this? It felt like Lin Xiaos life was shooting off towards a strange direction.

He clearly just wanted to be a normal reserve hero, and get money without working to enjoy his life in a different world, but why was he drawn into these bizarre conspiracies one after another?

When did it start to deviate? Oh, right.

If he never took Elena in, then everything wouldve been fine.

If he never confessed to Shen DaiYing, then everything wouldve been fine.

So is it that hard for me to find a normal girlfriend? Lin Xiao looked up and sighed.

Hmph, idiot.

Elena didnt bother to listen to Lin Xiaos prattling, she said what she needed to say, so she went to the kitchen by herself to cook.

Even if Lin Xiao is going to be swindled away by that vixen and become her enemy, but she was still currently Lin Xiaos maid, so she had to at least finish her present work.

Along with a couple of clangs, in a bit of time, a delicious smell wafted from the kitchen, but Lin Xiao was still paralyzed on the sofa, muttering to himself.

No, its still not confirmed that Shen DaiYing is the killer, she might have said those things on purpose? Lets just read some news.

As if he wanted to take his mind off it, Lin Xiao picked up todays newspaper. Todays headline was Mysterious Killers Serial Crimes, Great Sage Hobson Assassinated

What? S-someone died again?

The killers MO was the same as the previous two, one cut to the neck and one to the heart, a clean and efficient assassination.

Was this also Shen DaiYings work?

The night before last, that was right when the competition finished, but her leg was injured that day, although Lin Xiao treated it, but it didnt heal completely.

Assassinating someone while injured, wouldnt that be too much?

Also, Great Sage Hobson was different from the previous two, not only did he have power within the Holy Light Church, but he himself was extremely strong. Even if he had no bodyguards, he could easily reverse the situation and take her life.

Sister Ying shouldnt be that strong, right if she could kill Hobson, she wouldnt have lost to me.

Lin Xiao comforted himself, but perhaps his remaining reason was yelling at him, so he continued to read to gather more evidence.

Through investigation, the killer left a strange bloodstained cloth at the scene of a crime, seemingly wounded Seeing tha line, Lin Xiao widened his eyes and nervously gulped.

Although that line may seem insignificant to other, but Lin Xiao didnt think so.

As if they wanted to make the news more vivid, they even posted a picture of the scene of the crime, and that piece of cloth was in a unremarkable corner, virtually unnoticeable if one didnt try to look for it.

He carefully stare at the fuzzy piece of cloth in the picture, and soon noticed an important point, it was as if he was truck by lightning.

Why

At that time, Elena also finished cooking, as she was bringing out the food, she was shocked by Lin Xiaos foolish appearance.

Hey, you dead?

She curiously walked over, and followed Lin Xiaos line of sight to see the picture on the newspaper.

Great Sage Hobson assassinated the killer left a piece of bloodstained cloth? Elena muttered as she read.

That piece of cloth looked weird, like it was wrapped on a wound but cut open by a sword, so the edges were completely strange. It probably fell off during the assassination, this type of cloth was also extremely common, nothing worthy of paying attention to.

What attracted Elenas attention was that there was a beautiful bloodstained butterfly knot on that piece of cloth.

Butterfly knot?

If Elena remembers correctly, she saw that butterfly knot somewhere before.

The day before yesterday, when Lin Xiao was helping Shen DaiYing dress her wound, he used the same knot.

A butterfly knot that Lin Xiao personally tied, accidentally left at the scene of a crime.

That was undoubtedly a crucial piece of evidence.

Shen DaiYing shes actually the killer.

Lin Xiao quietly muttered.
