Picked up a Demon King to be a Maid

Chapter 319: Resentful Wife

Chapter 319: Resentful Wife

Winterless City

A certain inn

Lin Tian was lying on the bed holding the hard bread that his sister left before leaving. He gnawed on it while letting his imagination run wild.

The day was almost over and his sister still wasnt back yet, did something happen?

They said they were just going out for a bit, why is it taking so long? Could it be that pervert Lin Xiao was really up to no good and did something unforgivable to his sister?

While he was thinking, he suddenly felt his bed shake.

What the?

He jumped and thought there was someone underneath the bed, but he didnt find anything strange after looking around. It turned out that it wasnt the bed shaking but the ground shook the entire hotel.

An earthquake? It cant be.

Even if it was an earthquake, it wouldnt be over just after one tremor.

Very quickly, there was a loud commotion coming from outside the door as people ran out of their rooms. Lin Tian felt that something big definitely happened so he endured the pain and climbed out of bed. He used crutches to support himself to the door and wanted to ask about what happened, but before he could, the people outside already started talking amongst themselves.

Hey, did you feel that?

Yeah, that definitely wasnt an earthquake I heard a magician say that it was an explosion from eighth-level magic!

What? Eighth-level magic? Why is there someone casting eighth-level magic outside of Winterless City? Was it a teacher from Loran Academy?

I dont know, but grand magician Woos has never casted eighth-level magic again after his injury, and no one else has that temperament, so I dont think it was them

If it wasnt them, then could it be an enemy?

Everyone was in a panic as they discussed the possibilities and ended up thinking that it was an enemy attack and they were going to invade the city.

However, their fears didnt last long, the intense tremor only happened once and the kingdom soldiers already left to investigate, so everyone went back to doing their own things.

Eighth-level magic?

Lin Tian was leaning against the wall and silently listening from start to finish, although he didnt know what happened, he started to worry.

From what he remembers, his sister and Lin Xiao went to the south forest outside Winterless City and from what he heard, that magic power also came from the south could something actually have happened to his sister?

After thinking about that, Lin Tian couldnt suppress his worries and stay still any longer.

I have to go take a look!

Lin Tian endured the pain as he limped towards the street, but before he could leave the main entrance, he suddenly noticed someone walking right towards him.

The other person was too quick and he didnt have time to move out of the way. As he tried to move, he tripped and his crutches lost balance and he fell straight forward.

Ah!

He watched as he was about to fall onto the other person, but he ended up seeing a red shadow and then a strange clanging sound that followed.

It seems the other person was wearing red high-heels as they instantly kicked his crutches straight.

Before Lin Tian could react, they drew a sword from the waist and pressed the hilt against his chest.

The crutches supported him from under his arms and the sword supported his chest, the three points formed a perfect balance and Lin Tian was like a roast pig that was hung and he couldnt move even if he wanted to.

It was an accident and yet he was treated so roughly.

If it was as usual, Lin Tian would have already started to curse, but right now he wasnt angry at all.

Do you want to die?

A beautiful girl was holding the sword wearing a pair of red high-heels. She squinted her eyes coldly at Lin Tian, as if one wrong word would be enough for her to unsheathe her sword and cut him down.

No, no, it wasnt on purpose! I just fell by accident!

Lin Tian gestured with the board tied to his knees and looked at the bandages on his upper body to show that he didnt have any malicious intentions and that he was just injured.

Oh, just an accident, I thought sigh.

She stopped and finally realized that he was injured and didnt have any hostility. So she also dropped her vigilance and removed her sword apologetically while helping him stand up straight.

Um arent you princess ShenDai Ying?

hm? You know me?

ShenDai Ying stopped again and carefully looked him up and down.

This youth also had black hair and black eyes, he looked similar to the man that made her feel at ease but much younger and immature. His eyes were filled with youthful vitality and looked like that persons little brother.

Youre Lin Tian?

Thats right! Hehe, I cant believe the princess still remembers me! When Lin Tian was called by name, he was extremely elated and continued speaking, Do you remember? We met during the Academy Tournament! When we met in the forest, you rushed us with your sword before we even said anything, and you easily cut through my ice wall princess, youre so amazing! I

Oh, is that so.

ShenDai Ying lightly smiled at this excited youth, and let him compliment herself clumsily. She didnt find it annoying, neither did she find it comfortable as she silently listened.

As Lin Tian watched her accept his compliments, he began letting his imagination run wild uncontrollably.

Dont underestimate the imagination of youth in puberty, just with a few words and Lin Tian was already thinking about all kinds of things.

Why did princess ShenDai Ying come here?

There shouldnt be anyone important in a small inn like this, so could she have came here specifically for him?

Thump, thump, thump when Lin Tian thought about that, his heart rate sped up and his face flushed.

Lin Tian?

Yes, princess!

No need for the formalities, just call me ShenDai Ying.

ShenDai Ying!

Hm you dont have to be that nervous.

Then Sister ShenDai Ying?

Since ShenDai Ying was older than him, there wasnt anything wrong with calling her sister in private, but Lin Tian never expected that before he could finish his words he heard a metallic sound.

Lin Tian felt a cold sensation next to his neck and realized that ShenDai Ying drew her blade and had it pressed against his neck.

Anything but that!

Sister Ying uh no, princess uh, I-I-I No matter what he said it didnt feel right, and with the ice-cold blade against his neck, he was afraid and panicked.

He didnt understand why calling her sister would make her so angry? From what he remembers, her classmate, that Lin Xiao who brings his maid everywhere also calls her that way.

Why can Lin Xiao call her that way but he cant?

Could it be that for her, it was special and only reserved for Lin Xiao?

Then does that mean

Sigh, forget it.

ShenDai Ying suddenly sighed and slowly took her sword away and sheathed it.

It seems like she lost control of her emotions.

Lately, she has been quite absentminded and couldnt get motivated for anything. She would often get into arguments for trivial matters and even her most trusted attendant Xiao Hua has been treated miserably recently.

She was completely different from how she was before, where she could maintain her graceful princess demeanor anywhere and anytime. Now she was more like a resentful wife waiting for her husband that comes home late every day, bitter and miserable

Thinking back on it, when did she became this way?

It was probably ever since that banquet ended.

Although she got Lin Xiaos promise and her unease was swept away, but after that, they each had their own things to do and hadnt met for a while. The last time they spoke was at the alliance office and it was only for a bit, not nearly enough.

Yes, she was extremely restless right now and couldnt calm down, whether it be sleeping, walking, or eating, she was always pestered by that sense of unease.

Thats why she treated Lin Tian so roughly, especially after she heard him call her that way. Her heart was gripped by an intense unease, the way he called her made her remember that person, but he was irreplaceable.

Sorry I-Im a bit tired.

ShenDai Ying laughed at herself and calmed down a bit. She put on her signature smile and looked at Lin Tian apologetically and then spoke to him.

Actually, I came here to look for you.

Eh??? Really?

Yeah, you siblings already took the S rank mission, right?

Y-yes

Okay, I also took it, lets team up.

Ah?
