Picked up a Demon King to be a Maid

Chapter 192: Parting Ways

Chapter 192: Parting Ways

Lin Xiao! Shen DaiYing!

In the beginning, Rosie suspected that they went to find some food, or were doing something in the nearby shrubbery while everyone was asleep, but in the end, she and Caesar went looking around the surrounding but didnt find anybody.

Hey Elena, do you know where they went?

The search was fruitless, Rosie returned and put her hope in the maid.

But Elena simply shook her head.

Her perception skills confirmed that they werent hiding nearby and the slave contract also proved that Lin Xiao was already far away.

Strange, whats going on? Did something happen to them?

Rosie helplessly looked towards Caesar and tried to get an answer, but he was also at a loss.

Today was the fifth day of the competition, there were only two days left. They already defeated two strong teams, and nearly locked in the championship, but Lin Xiao and Shen DaiYing suddenly disappeared, what should they do?

Shen DaiYing was standing guard last night based on her ability, she wouldnt be finished off even if she met an enemy, right? Rosie discussed with Caesar while Elena was in a daze on the sides, unable to understand what was going on.

Impossible, there were no traces of a fight in the surroundings. Even if they met someone, Shen DaiYing would definitely come to call us, furthermore, Lin Xiao was also there. Caesar tried analyzing the possibilities.

If someone did come last night and the first one they saw was Shen DaiYing, then with her speed, the first thing she would do is come back and wake us. But every one was in a deep slumber and no one noticed any activity.

There was too low possibility for them to have encountered an enemy, with their strength, theres no one on the entire island that can finish them off without any noise. Even Heino Academys Devoru cant, so theres only one explanation

They didnt meet an enemy, but a situation, and in order to solve said situation, they had to leave the team. Or one of them encountered a situation, and the other went to help

Situation? Rosie blinked her eyes, Like what?

I dont know

Hmph, the way I see it is that they are definitely having a secret affair! Rosie said assuredly.

After several days of not speaking with Caesar and finally resolving it last night and raising his affection meter, now that Shen DaiYing was missing, she could finally speak freely and rouse her dignity as the main heroine!

What? What affair? Caesar asked blankly.

What else Caesar, you should know that Lin Xiao likes Shen DaiYing, right? Rosie casually asked.

What? Really!? It was like Caesar heard something unbelievable as he widened his eyes.

His astonished expression also shocked Rosie.

My beloved prince, did you not know?

Should I have known?

Hah? You, really

Lin Xiao and Shen DaiYing toyed and teased each other all day, Lin Xiaos feelings for her was a secret that everyone already knew. Even Woos and Momm noticed it but just didnt say anything, how could Caesar not know?

Lin Xiaos confession was rejected by Shen DaiYing, but he never gave up and tried raising their intimacy bit by bit, so Im guessing that theyre definitely Rosie was happy when she started speaking, but later on she began carefully observing Caesars reaction, afraid he would get angry.

Shen DaiYing was his fiancee after all, and Lin Xiao was his comrade in arms, if he suddenly found out that they were doing something together behind his back, then it would be unavoidable for him to lose his temper, right

But Caesars reaction was outside of expectations.

Oh so thats how it is. Heh, Lin Xiao, that guy Not only did he not get angry, he even laughed.

Eh? Caesar, a-are you not angry?

Why would I be angry?

Oh right.

Thats right, Caesar never decided on this marriage, it was something his father forced upon him and he was very against it from the start. Shen DaiYings attacks on him also had no effect and wasnt attracted to her, no matter if Lin Xiao intervened or not.

Thinking of it, Caesar has only treated her politely, as a classmate, as a friend but not much beyond that, similarly to how Shen DaiYing treated him.

Strictly speaking, Shen DaiYing was more like Lin Xiaos fiancee.

She was with Lin Xiao all the time, and calmly faced all his advances. It seems like she also had fun, she was often teased until giggling uncontrollably, and didnt have any dignity as a princess. On the other hand, it was her who treated her as an enemy and was jealous of her, trying to one up her in every aspect.

Thinking about that, Rosie suddenly felt some regret.

If she knew, then she not only could have allied with Lin Xiao, perhaps they could have even dragged Shen DaiYing in she might also not want to get married with Caesar.

However, I dont think Shen DaiYing would be the kind of person to do that during a competition. Caesar shook his head and denied Rosies conjecture, this surely made Rosies jealousy, that she just suppressed, surge out again.

Hmph, how do you know it wont happen? Who knows what that vixen will do? Rosie pouted then turned and asked Elena, Hey, say something! Did your master say anything to you last night?

No. Elena indifferently shook her head.

Nothing special happened last night, other than Lin Xiaos brief conversation with Shen DaiYing and wishing each other good night, there was nothing else noteworthy.

Hmph, forget it, lets not worry about them, they wont die anyways! Lets just continue towards the silver vault! Rosie clenched her fist and changed the subject.

Wait our resonance crystal is still with Lin Xiao! Caesar raised a crucial problem.

Eh? No way, then what should we do? Rosie suddenly realized the severity of the problem and let her eyes wander, then suddenly something sparkly attracted her attention, Wait look, whats that?

Is that the resonance crystal?

Under the illumination of the sunlight, the translucent blue crystal glistened.

The crystal was hidden next to Elena, they never noticed it earlier, but it was revealed after Elena got up.

There was also the map for the silver vault next to it, it seems like something did happen and he already made plans to leave, since he had time to leave the crystal and map.

If thats the case

Looking at the crystal and map on the floor, Elena suddenly thought of something.

She lowered her head and looked for something in the surrounding, but she didnt find it and furrowed her brows with agitation.

Strange.

Lin Xiao was already long gone, without that thing, the slave contract should have already kicked in. But even without it, the soul rebound wasnt happening, what was going on?

Elena, what are you looking for? Rosie asked curiously.

N-nothing

She steeled her face to hide her restlessness, and continued to secretly look for something.

What are you faking for hey, Elena, it feels like your bust has gotten large en, indeed, its not an illusion, thats not right, what?

Ah?

Elena stopped and looked down at herself.

She then noticed that there was something strange stuffed into her clothes!

Elena quickly turned around and faced her back towards the other two. She reached into her clothes and pulled aside her obstructing flab from left and right then felt something strange and hard in the crevice furthest inside.

Strange, it was clearly someplace touching her body, but she didnt notice something stuffed inside her clothes until now was she so used to being bullied by that pervert that shes becoming accustomed to these strange feelings, so thats why she couldnt feel it?

This is?

She pulled it out from inside her clothes while blushing and to her surprise, it was an extra-large magic power crystal.

From what she remembers, that was a crystal that Lin Xiao had with him the whole time since before they even left. It could last 48 hours after being filled, so she could last until the end of the competition even without Lin Xiao.

She looked at the crystal she was holding in a daze and coldly scoffed.

It seems like that since the beginning of this competition no, since they left Winterless City, Lin Xiao already anticipated separating from her!

Was that guy planning something the whole time?

That guy

No matter what happened, that situation was definitely related to Shen DaiYing. Lin Xiao was missing because he went to look for Shen DaiYing!

So everything still ended up about Shen DaiYing.

Why did she leave the team?

Rosie and Caesar didnt know what Elena was thinking with her head lowered, they simply thought she was depressed because her master left, so they didnt ask about it. After some discussion, they decided to continue and head towards the silver vault.

Without Lin Xiao and Shen DaiYing, they had to be extra careful. The good news was that since it was already the fifth day, the number of teams was already drastically reduced. The remaining teams were all rushing towards the center of the island, looking for the silver vault, so no one was wandering and looking for a fight.

Shen DaiYing

On the way, Rosie and Caesar quietly chatted. Elena was silent the entire time, secretly thinking about Lin Xiaos plan.
