Chapter 424: The Ones Who Have Fallen
ShenDai Ying was just swearing to Claire earlier that Lin Xiao and Elena had a normal master-servant relationship, yet she heard those explosive lines right after opening the door.
You could imagine how awful she must have been feeling.
Elena was actually sneaking around behind her back and having a wedding ceremony with Lin Xiao!? How shameless!
Claire was even more surprised and changed her view of their relationship.
From now on, Elena was just a maid, but a maid lover!
Although Lin Xiao didnt mind what Claire thought, he didnt want Sister Ying to misunderstand. He couldnt say it was just an incantation and just made up some excuses, whether ShenDai Ying believed it or not was another story.
In any case, amidst all the noise and fuss, they finally set off on their journey back.
Different to when they came, their speed was much slower, it was something that couldnt be helped.
Everyone was still tired and also had to transport Caesar and the other injured members. They also came by carriage but were now forced to walk.
They were all hoping to borrow some carriages from those crucifix bastards, but Saintess Snow came and left in a hurry and purposely left them all behind with nothing like she was afraid of being followed!
But it wasnt a big deal to be slower since they had no reason to hurry.
The trapped team was rescued, the living dead were dispersed and werent a problem anymore. Darkness who was behind it was also dead, so their trip back was quite relaxing.
The only thing of concern was the important evidence that Caesar found, the black core.
But, according to leader Claire, it was already handed over to Saintess Snow to bring back and start their research and investigations, so they had nothing to do.
Wait why was Claire the leader? Shouldnt it be Lin Xiao?
Thats right, Lin Xiao conceded the leader position and pushed Claire to the front.
In his words, it wasnt easy to manage so many people, there were too many things to do so he let Claire do it.
Claire was capable and reputable and was the best choice!
Claire was moved and thought he was helping her save face so he left the leadership role to her. Though she didnt say it, she was very thankful to Lin Xiao and admired his modesty and foresight.
But ShenDai Ying knew Lin Xiao well, the only reason he did that was simply that he was lazy!
ShenDai Ying, I heard that youre a princess from the Great Qin Empire?
When ShenDai Ying nodded, Claire linked her up with the princess who was getting married in her memories.
So that means youre Caesars fiance?
Hm.
Then why were you traveling with Lin Xiao instead of him?
Hehe, well I just like traveling with Lin Xiao more. ShenDai Ying honestly responded.
Oh right, not only is he strong and smarter than Caesar, but if I were you I would also like taking missions with him more. Claire misunderstood and didnt realize that the like they were using had two separate meanings.
But perhaps it had the same meaning?
ShenDai Ying, um
Hehe, Claire, if you have something to say, just say it.
Youre thinking about what happened with Elena, right?
Mhm
Perhaps only ShenDai Ying who was of equal status to Claire could see the Leopard Queen squirming around like so.
Since she was curious, ShenDai Ying didnt hide it. Other than the fact that Elena was a demon, she told Claire about everything that happened between Lin Xiao and Elena.
They were master and servant, and also comrades, there was also the tension between man and woman between them. Their intimacy wasnt something that anyone could easily come between.
Elena is really lucky, she just came a bit earlier and coincidentally met Lin Xiao, its nothing special, right? ShenDai Ying lamented as she looked up into the sky.
But meeting coincidentally is also fate.
She could compete with anyone else, just not Elena, that was too foolish. Not to mention, there was something that she could never compete with.
Claire glanced at Elena who was next to Lin Xiao. Even from so far away, her figure was extremely eye-catching.
Looking at her hills and then at her own plains after comparing with Elena, Claire finally understood why other people kept calling her a tomboy.
But theres no point being jealous, its not like she can change her figure. The only thing she wants to know now is what the collar on her neck is for.
What was it for? Did Lin Xiao force her to wear it? Or was that proof of their vows like a wedding ring?
Lin Xiao explained it as an accessory and Elena wore it willingly, which Elena confirmed with a nod, so Claire could only stomach her curiosity.
But accessory?
Lin Xiao said that collar was an accessory, Claire muttered to herself.
Its probably an accessory.
What kind of accessory?
An accessory for her chest.
Oh, so theres an accessory like that wait, what kind of accessory is that? Is there even an accessory like that!?
An accessory is just something to make you even more beautiful.
Hah?
Claire was confused and took a good look at Elena and suddenly understood!
Although the collar itself was ugly, but what was important was that chain hanging from the front. It was also very normal and only about a hands length long.
At first, Claire thought that chain was something that was used by the master to punish the maid. If the maid doesnt listen then the master could grab that chain and easily pull the maid to the ground, they could also tie a rope to it and lead the maid around like a dog.
But Lin Xiao probably wouldnt use it to humiliate Elena and it was just a simple decoration.
Thats right! It was a decoration to make Elenas bust look even bigger and more beautiful!
Since her maid outfit had an unbuttoned design, the chain that shook around and made a pleasing rattling noise would fall perfectly on top of her deep ravines.
Does Lin Xiao love women with big breasts? Claire sighed and started talking to herself again.
Probably. ShenDai Ying lazily responded again.
Then is Elena that woman with the biggest one?
So far, yes.
Oh, so that means Lin Xiao likes her the most.
Hehe, who knows.
Compared to herself, Claire wasnt that good at hiding her own emotions and she could see the jealousy and adoration oozing from her eyes.
Oh, a certain youth is truly sinful, playing around yet not taking responsibility, is he not afraid of suffering retribution?
Thinking about that, ShenDai Ying suddenly felt that she and Claire were similar and were both shot down by that guy.
Claire now was similar to how she was back then. Curious about Elena, jealous of her figure and couldnt honestly face her own feelings.
Lin Xiao, oh Lin Xiao, can I really wait until that day? That day you promised me
ShenDai Ying silently leaned her head on Claires shoulders and enjoyed that temporary relief.
ShenDai Ying, w-whats wrong?
Hehe, its nothing, my neck just felt a bit itchy.
She reached inside her clothes and scratched the back of her neck and continued resting her head on Claires shoulder.
Just like that, the peaceful journey began and at the same time, Snow who left earlier was already watched by the enlightened.
A vicious ambush was right ahead of them.
