Chapter 96: Treasure You
Chapter 96: Treasure You
Lin Xiao has been pretty idle for the past few days.
The other contestants were still proceeding with their battles as prescribed, but what about him? He was the first one to finish the competition in Loran Academy, also, he was the fastest one to obtain number one in their groups.
Is it a symbol of strength?
Peh! More like a lucky bastard. He didnt even fight and won all his battles because of his opponents forfeiting, what kind of strength is that?
Speaking of strength, can Lin Xiao even compare to Caesar and Shen DaiYing?
Look at Caesar, a handsome prince, a valiant magic swordsman. If the opponent is a magician, hell use magic to defeat them! If the opponent is a warrior, hell use his gorgeous sword skills! Within group B, Caesar inevitably won all his battles and successfully advances!
Similarly, Shen DaiYing also won all her fights. She won all her fights in high heels using just one move, Cherry Dance, Blossom. Unsheathe, slash, sheath, every time her figure crossed the opponent, after the blossom, she instantly won.
Originally, everyone didnt accept it when the principal announced the engagement between Caesar and Shen DaiYing a couple of days ago. But now, everyone accepted it.
All the students came to a consensus that Caesar and Shen DaiYing, the prince and the princess, the hero and the beauty, was a match made in heaven!
There was also a saying circulating through the academy, whoever opposed their marriage were rebels and would be beheaded!
Of course, even if they would be beheaded, Lin Xiao and Rosie vehemently opposed this marriage!
Lin Xiaos residence
It was another day of leisure vacation, Lin Xiao had nothing to do as usual. He was lazily lying on the sofa reading the newspaper with a cup of tea in his hand while Elena, with her usual facial nerve paralysis expression, was wiping all over the place with a piece of cloth, performing her obligations as a maid.
What?! Lin Xiao shivered and almost spilled his cup of tea.
Whats wrong? Elena curiously asked, Is it information about Elona?
No but whats with this? Lin Xiao spread open the newspaper and angrily pointed at it, Look at todays headlines,Loran Academys Magic Departments S class Muddler, Lin Xiao, Luckily Passes Group Stages, Three Brothers Fall Prey to Plot by Evildoer, what are they saying? Are they suspecting me?
Elena was speechless, You were the one who injured those three anyway.
This and that are two different things! They came and provoked me on their own, I didnt plot anything against them. They cant smear my name!
The three brothers recovering in the church already regained consciousness, and told others that they were plotted against by a evildoer, when the were asked who this evildoer was, they stammered and couldnt answer.
Hmph, do they have the balls to say it? Three warriors were beat to severe injuries by one fourth level magician, they would become a laughingstock if it was revealed!
dont play dumb, youre clearly a sixth level magician. Elena retorted.
Wouldnt it be too effortless for a sixth level magician to beat three fourth level warriors?
Sigh, whatever, since they wont come bother me anymore. Lin Xiao continued to flip through the newspaper, he soon noticed another interesting news,Mysterious Killer Appears in Winterless City, Prominent Merchant Jackson Assassinated
Lin Xiao has heard of the merchant Jackson, he heard that he mainly engaged in transportation jobs and had close ties to Flowing Cloud Courier. Its said that other than transport, he also secretly did human trafficking, illegal slave transactions, and other shady business, getting assassinated would be considered as getting his just desserts.
The newspaper said that Jackson suffered two mortal wounds, one was at the neck, where there was a deep cut, the other was at his heart, where there was a hole pierced by some dagger-like weapon. The killer was adept and efficient, not a single clue was left behind, like a ghost. The preliminary speculation was that it was done by a killer association.
Mysterious killer, huh who cares, as long as they dont come after me. Lin Xiao lifted his teacup and slurped, then continued to read.
Hey, take a look to see if theres any information on Elona. Elena stopped what she was doing and also came over to read the newspaper.
It has already been a while, yet there was no information about Elona, none about her being captured, and she never came to them in Winterless City, it was like she vanished.
Elena became more and more anxious, to the point where she wanted to drag Lin Xiao to Sheryl City and look for her personally!
Its pointless even if you worry, theres nothing on the newspaper. Lin Xiao impatiently flipped the pages and was suddenly attracted to a headline, Eh? Holy Light Church Clergy Change, Winterless City to Welcome New Saint
New Saint? Elena curiously got closer.
Personnel transfer across dioceses of the same rank was extremely rare, although this news only occupied a small space, Lin Xiao knew that this was the most important.
Unfortunately, the content was extremely brief, and there was pretty much no info regarding the identity of the new Saint, only that she was a very young girl.
It made sense, the Holy Light Church always ensured that nothing leaks until they reveal it at the last second, it was rare that even this little info was leaked.
Right, Elena. Lin Xiao suddenly put down the newspaper, Do you want to go out by yourself and investigate about Elona?
Are you an idiot? I Elena wanted to ridicule him but got interrupted.
Yeah, yeah I know, you cant leave me because of the slave contract or youll get soul rebound. Lin Xiao smiled and said, Thats just too inconvenient, I have to go to school, participate in the competition, and you cant do anything but follow me around. Its probably better if you can go around and investigate what youre interested in, right?
Yes. Elena nodded and suspiciously looked at him.
What is he getting at? Does he have a way of dissolving the contract?
Magic crystal! Lin Xiao took out a finger sized rhombus shaped crystal as he said that. The translucent crystal was emitting a pale purple light, This was originally a normal crystal without any magic power, but Ive poured my magic in it, so now it contains my magic power!
Contains your magic power whats the point of that? Elena suspiciously asked.
I discovered a couple of days ago in the library, the core of the slave contract is bound by power, not the soul. Which means, as long as you carry a crystal with my magic power in it, itll treat it as if I was by your side, so even if you leave me, you wont suffer soul rebound.
Really? Hearing Lin Xiaos explanation, Elena was pleased beyond expectation.
All because of the damn slave contract, she had to always stay by Lin Xiao so that she doesnt die, with this magic crystal, she didnt have to follow this damn pervert around all day!
Thinking about it, she quickly reached over and tried to take the crystal, but Lin Xiao suddenly retracted his hand and took it away.
If you want the crystal, theres a condition.
Hmph, I knew it. Elena coldly snorted.
This damn pervert, why would he give her any benefits? Without condition, he wouldnt be the perverted Lin Xiao!
Speak, what condition? If its to sleep with you or bathe with you naked, then you might as well kill me.
Hey, hey, what are you saying, am I that kind of lecherous pervert?
Is that not the case?
Of course not! I only like one person, which is Shen DaiYing. I wont feel anything even if a big breasted maid like you stripped naked!
Ohh, youre awesome.
Erhm getting back on track. Lin Xiao paused, Demon King, I want your blood!
Eh?
Elena stopped, then she quickly understood his intentions.
The Demon Kings blood, Demon King HP Potion, Elenas blood had super effective healing capabilities, it was equally effective for humans! This guy had his eyes on her blood for a long time, and now hes finally extending his devilish claws!
Elena, I wont force you if you dont want to. Lin Xiao nonchalantly fiddled with the magic crystal in his hand, But, if you dont give me blood, I wont give you the crystal, so you can stay by my side and be a maid for the rest of your life.
Elena bit her lips.
For her, a magic crystal containing Lin Xiaos magic power was vital, with it, she could leave Lin Xiao and regain her freedom!
Blood, on the other hand, wasnt too important to her, even if she bled, she just has to rest for a few days and eat some stuff to recover, it doesnt matter even if she gives her blood to Lin Xiao, but
Its just too humiliating!
A dignified Demon King has fallen to the point where she has to sell blood to make a living! Now its blood, but what about next time, would she have to offer her own purity and use her body in exchange?
Elena, give me your blood! Think about it, as long as you have this magic crystal, you can walk freely in Winterless City! Lin Xiaos voice was like the whispering of the devil, as it nibbled away at Elenas remaining pride and stubbornness, Dont worry, I wont go back on my word and I wont restrict you, you can go anywhere you want!
Isnt it just a bit of blood? Compared to freedom, which is more important?
I
After struggling for a while, in the end, Elena couldnt fight the enticing freedom.
Okay, Ill do it. She helplessly said, But Im currently in human form, I cant give you too much blood, so
Dont worry Demon King! I wont kill the goose that lays golden eggs, Ill treasure you! Lin Xiao sincerely said.
Treasure me?
Elena felt uncomfortable with his words, without even talking about how he said treasure, what did he mean by kill the goose that lays golden eggs?
Whos the goose!?
Come, Demon King, please sit here Lin Xiao brought a chair over as he said that.
This chair wasnt like a normal one, it was larger, wider, and there were also some strange handcuffs and leather straps on it, it looked pretty scary.
This is?
Elena felt like something wasnt quite right
This is called a restraint chair. Lin Xiao explained.
