Picked up a Demon King to be a Maid

Chapter 19: Not Completely Acting

Chapter 19: Not Completely Acting

The selection test officially ended and no one was hurt.

Lin Xiao successfully got the qualification to participate in the actual drill and conveniently got another super strong ability perception.

Although her power was sealed, but her instinct and innate gift as a demon king were still there. Her super strong perception ability could clearly see the flow of magic in the human body, it could also perceive anyone hiding in the surroundings. Apparently, it can even detect magic beasts, it really is quite a convenient and practical ability.

After all, shes the demon king. If she didnt even have this much power, how could she confront humanity? Lin Xiao thought deeply.

The humanoid self-propelled magic detection radar Elena, I choose you!

Leaving the academy, Lin Xiao and Elena walked side by side. His old house was in a remote area of the suburbs, so you had to walk a while to get there.

The sky was turning dark, the vendors in the stalls were starting to pack their bags and preparing to leave. The pedestrians on the road also sped up their pace in order to get home before dark and have dinner with their families. Elena followed Lin Xiao through the city. In order to observe the daily life of human beings at a close distance, she looked left and right. Although she still looked indifferent, but she wasnt as proud and unreasonable anymore, she seemed very interested.

Ah! No! While walking, Lin Xiao suddenly stopped and slapped his head. Elena, you can perceive the flow of magic, right?

Correct.

But why didnt you warn me when Rosie threw a fireball at me? You must have already felt it, right?

At that time, Rosie threw a fireball at Lin Xiao, at the same time Elena withdrew two steps. It was this inconspicuous two steps that allowed her to perfectly escape the aftermath of the explosion, but Lin Xiao was forced onto the ground by the impact this was no coincidence!

Elena did not answer, rather she looked away.

Hey, look at my eyes!

I did feel it. Elena spoke of other topics. The slave contract only stipulates that slaves cant harm the owner, it doesnt stipulate that the slaves has to protect the owner?

So youre admitting it? Tsk, what a disobedient maid Lin Xiao steeled his face and seemed to be planning to impose some punishment on Elena.

Even if I didnt remind you, what would happen? This time, Elena did not back down, but sneered, You didnt even need my warning, right?

What are you saying? If not for Rosies improper control, I wouldve been hit by the fireball!

Nonsense! Elena disdainfully grinned. Stop lying, you can deceive them all, but you cant deceive me.

A Lie? Noticing his pretense was seen through, Lin Xiao scratched his head awkwardly and weakened his tone. When Rosie threw the fireball over, I really was shocked.

But, you didnt worry about being hit by the fireball! Elena stopped and looked at Lin Xiaos eyes seriously. Although that girl has a low magic level, her magic control is not weak. The fireball didnt explode midway because she lost control of the magic, but because you did something!

Oh you actually saw it?

I wasnt looking carefully. Elena frowned and recalled the scene at the time.

When Lin Xiao was about to be hit by the fireball, she heard a crisp snap sound and then she realized that it was Lin Xiao who snapped his fingers!

In the last moment, you snapped your fingers, then a tiny fireball shot out from your fingertips, hit Rosies fireball and the spells collided, which caused an explosion. Am I wrong?

In just a blink of an eye, Lin Xiao thought up of the most effective response to use the same spell to offset Rosies fireball. Speed, reaction, precision a seemingly simple operation, yet actually exceedingly difficult!

Other than Elena who has a strong perception, no one else there noticed Lin Xiaos trick. Perhaps teacher Woos could have noticed, but at that time, Wooss attention was not on him, and his eyes were blocked by the crowd, so he didnt have a clue.

As expected of the humanoid self-propelled magic detection radar, awesome!

Like he wanted to show she was correct, as Lin Xiao was talking, he snapped his fingers in front of Elena.

There was no magic chanting and no circuit composition. In an instant, a small fireball appeared out of thin air and shot out from his fingertips into the sky, it was especially dazzling under the dusky sunset. The children in the nearby houses thought that they were shooting fireworks and opened the windows and curiously looked out.

I couldnt help it. I didnt want my clothes to be burned, so I could only use a little trick.

When Lin Xiao spoke, there was no hint of arrogance and boastfulness. But Elena was so surprised that she widened her eyes and stared at the small firework that flew into the night sky.

Chantless Instant Magic!? It was like she saw something extremely terrifying.

If Lin Xiaos gift of breaking through the fourth-level at the age of 15 was not enough to surprise the Eighty-ninth Demon King, then the strength Lin Xiao just displayed already made it impossible for Elena to remain calm.

Chantless Instant Magic was an advanced technique for releasing magic. It could omit the stage of magic chant and circuit composition. Just as Lin Xiao just did, you dont need to shout the name of magic, or form a bright magic circle, you can easily release a spell with a simple snap of the fingers.

Chantless Instant Magic has a strong practical significance! It allowed a magician to release magic at the fastest speed in any situation, which multiplied the magicians ability to survive. More importantly, the instant magic that omitted the magic chant and circuit composition was able to be concealed!

In a battle, instant magic without warning was the most crucial trump card. It could turn the tide of the battle in the blink of an eye and turn defeat into victory!

According to Elena, only advanced magicians that were sixth-level and higher could master the chantless instant magic technique and very few excellent fifth-level magicians can barely do it, but she has never heard of any human being able to master this skill at the fourth level, not to mention that Lin Xiao was only 15 years old this year

Although currently, Lin Xiao was only throwing out a small firework, what about in the future?

Twenty years later No, maybe only ten years, Lin Xiao can become humanitys number one magician!

Elena, whats wrong? Seeing the other side not responding, Lin Xiao asked with a smile. Are you thinking that for the future of the demon race, you should get rid of me before I grow up?

Elena didnt dare answer.

Because, she did have that kind of thought earlier. With Lin Xiaos talent, he will definitely become a hero in the near future and he would become the enemy that the demons wont want to face. For her own people, if Elena killed him now

Fuu Elena felt her heartbeat speed up.

Lin Xiao actually noticed her thoughts, what should I do? If Lin Xiao knew that she wanted to kill him, will he still keep her alive?

Elena shook her head desperately.

Thats not right! She was the demon king and Lin Xiao was a human. It was strange already that Lin Xiao did not kill her. In the past two days, he even started playing a childish game of maid and master with her. This was simply impossible!

This comical master-servant game should have long been over! You die and I live was the normal relationship between humans and demons!

Elena? Lin Xiao walked in front of Elena and whispered, Are you scared?

He found that Elena was tense and clenched both fists, seeming to prepare as she took him down with her.

When they first met, Elena was ready to die. At that time, she had no hope in her eyes, so she showed extraordinary indifference and was carefree, but now, Elena seemed to not want to die. Having seen hope, she couldnt be as carefree as before.

She couldnt accept her fate calmly based on this point, humans and demons were the same.

Consoling girls was not Lin Xiaos strength, but at that moment, he seems to have awakened some instinct. He was dominated by a strong emotion and made a move that he did not even dare think about before, also a move that hes never done before.

Perhaps this was Elenas charm, the charm of an aloof maid

Looking at this shivering kitten, Lin Xiao couldnt help but reach out and gently hug her shoulder.

Dont be afraid.

Eh? Elena subconsciously retreated, but could not escape and was actually pulled into Lin Xiaos arms.

Dont worry. Lin Xiao whispered, I already told you about it a while ago. I dont want to be a hero. Otherwise, I would have already cut off your head and presented it to the Pope.

Elena was speechless, Lin Xiao did say that before.

Hey, why do humans and demons have to hate and kill each other? Cant we just peacefully coexist? Peace is number one.

Because uh Elena found herself speechless.

Listen to me. Lin Xiao stretched out his hands and held the beautiful woman in his arms, feeling the warm body temperature of the other person. Elena, you have no hatred for human beings. Similarly, I have no hatred for you guys. On the contrary, if there was an opportunity, I would even want to get on good terms with you guys.

What? Get on good terms? Humans, and the demons? Elena was stunned.

Whether you believe it or not. If you are willing to let go of your hostility, we can get along well. When you regain your strength or have a way to lift the slave contract between us, I will fulfill my promise.

Promise?

Yeah, I will personally send you back to the forest of the end, my dear demon king. Lin Xiao smiled. So, please let go of your hostility and obediently be my maid.

Looking at Lin Xiaos forced smile, Elena suddenly realized something.

This man is the best at acting! Last time Lin Xiao acted as the bad guy, is he acting as a good guy this time?

Thinking of this, Elena pushed him away, holding her chest in both hands and separated from him with vigilance.

So, is this also your acting skill? Elena shouted in anger. Lin Xiao has long been lusting after her beauty, seizing the opportunity to hug her wasnt something new. I cant let this guy get away with it again!

Acting? Well, not completely Lin Xiao was a little embarrassed, his face was red and became shy. I was really hoping that you could obediently be my maid.

To get on good terms with the demons You actually said such a thing, are you really human?

No, of course Im not human. Lin Xiao answered seriously, Im a transmigrator.

Transmigrator?

Elena boasted of her deep understanding of humans, and her proficiency in the human common language and the general history of the mainland. But Lin Xiao can always say some words that she couldnt understand. Elena even suspects that she has read fake ancient books and learned a fake common language.

And Lin Xiao was definitely a fake human!

Okay, lets continue after we go home, Im starving to death. I was made so dirty by that headstrong Miss Rosie. I have to take a shower first. Lin Xiao rubbed his dried out stomach and left by himself.

Hey! Elena hesitated for a moment, then quickly followed.

Ive already prepared the ingredients, Elena, Ill leave the dinner to you today.

What? Bu-but I cant cook.

How can a maid not cook? Demon King, with your intelligence, I think youll be able to learn very quickly.

Eh?

Having said all that, it turns out that this guys original goal was this?
