Picked up a Demon King to be a Maid

Chapter 504: Late Night Visitor

Chapter 504: Late Night Visitor

Sacred crystal fruits were rare, but they were also pretty useless, the only thing it had going for it was that it looked pretty, the light blue oval fruit looked like a sapphire.

Deborah remembered that she was going to throw them away but when Bacon saw how pretty they were he said he was going to use them to trick girls and took all of them.

You still have the fruits right? Dont tell me you gave them all away!

N-no, I still have a lot!

Then hurry up and bring them here!

Oh okay! Ill go get them now!

When Bacon recovered he realized that Lin Xiao didnt plan on fussing over what happened and Deborah wasnt going to punish him and just wanted him to do something. So he spared no time to quickly run to his own room to grab the fruits, but because he was too rushed he tripped when stepping out the door and stumbled around before eventually disappearing.

Sigh, what a useless young master. Deborah was speechless at his flustered state.

Bacon might be annoying but in the end, he still had a use. It was good that he took the fruits ahead of time, otherwise, if Deborah threw them away and didnt have anything to give Lin Xiao, then that would be awkward.

While they were waiting, Deborah got someone to clean up the mess and chased all the guards and onlookers away, leaving only Gerrard and Mina behind. Then she got someone to get some snacks, on one hand, she wanted to properly receive Lin Xiao, on the other, she also wanted to have a chat with him to try and see what kind of person he was so she can plan to be a matchmaker.

Lin Xiao didnt decline and called his companions to sit down while eating and chatting.

I heard the princess gave you Gothams dragon badge?

Hm, she forced it on me, I didnt want it and just realized how precious it was.

She was probably afraid you would reject it and thats why she didnt tell you.

Yeah, I never expected that tomboy to be so considerate, I really underestimated her. Actually, thinking about it, shes pretty pretty hm.

Lin Xiao spoke while picking up a small piece of cake and stuffed it into his mouth and savored the sweetness.

Actually, shes pretty nice, her personality isnt annoying after getting to know her more, in the end, shes just a tactless tomboy, so I

Lin Xiao chewed the cake and when he almost said something he shouldnt, a sharp pain stopped him!

Hmph. Elena didnt say anything and didnt even look at him, but her hands were ruthless under the table as she stealthily pinched his waist.

Ah!!

Before Lin Xiao could swallow the cake, he suddenly let out a strange sound as he opened his mouth from the pain and almost spat out the food in his mouth.

I know the cake tastes good, but you cant eat like that come, let me feed you.

Sister Ying? I Mhm! Mhmmm!!

Before Lin Xiao could react, ShenDai Ying quickly picked up two more pieces of cake to stuff his mouth. Seeing as he was still trying to resist, she picked up another piece and forcefully shoved it all in! His mouth was so full that he couldnt say anything and could only whimper like a pitiful puppy.

When the three people facing them saw Lin Xiaos pathetic appearance, they all blinked and looked at each other in silence. This Gothams dragon was actually wife-whipped?

But Deborah thought about it and it actually wasnt a bad thing. If Lin Xiao married into the royal family and becomes Claires husband, then he would be obedient and docile to Claire, which is a good thing! The more she thought about it, the more satisfied she was with him and was more resolved to be a matchmaker! But it was going to be pretty difficult.

I-I was wrong I dont have any feelings for that tomboy! It was her flirting with me, Im innocent!

When Lin Xiao finally swallowed the cake, Lin Xiao proclaimed his innocence. Elena still acted coldly and didnt say anything, while ShenDai Ying ignored him while chatting with Mina.

Sigh, do they have to be that angry? Lin Xiao pursed his lips and realized where Claire was better. If it were that tomboy, she wouldnt get jealous and use those methods to bully him in comparison, you two are too immature!

Just as Lin Xiao was full of complaints, Bacon finally came back.

Manager! Manager!!

Hm? Did you find it?

Deborah quickly got up when she heard Bacons voice, but when she saw him running into the room in a panic and tripped again, she had a bad feeling.

Why did he come back empty-handed?

Hey, where are the fruits?

Its not good the fruits are gone!

Gone?

Deborah grabbed Bacons shoulder and the pain almost made him cry.

What do you mean gone? Did you lose them? Or did you give them away?

Neither! manager, I planned to pass those fruits off as sapphires and trick Mina to sleep with me, but before I could damn! I slipped up no, its not like that, listen to my explanation!

Bacon! You disgusting scum!

Mina glared at him and it seems like he saw her as a prostitute that can be paid for with money and wanted to claw his eyes out!

Who do you take me for? I wouldnt be interested in you even if it were real sapphires, scum, just go die!

Mina, c-calm down

Deborah was also angry, but this wasnt the time for it, so she quickly stopped Mina and continued questioning Bacon.

Okay Bacon, then where did they go?

Um I-I dont know either, anyways, I wasnt the one who lost them.

Sigh Bacon, what should I say about you?

How could something just disappear into thin air? After a series of questions, Deborah confirmed the fruits were gone, but no one knows how, for the time being, they can only assume Bacon accidentally lost them.

Deborah had thought Lin Xiao would be angry and she was prepared to be blamed, but he didnt say anything.

He was already used to things not going his way, so rather than blaming Bacons carelessness, he would rather think of a method to find some more.

Lin Xiao found out that Deborah found the fruits at the peak of a mountain. Deborah took some, and there still should be a lot left. That mountain wasnt too difficult to climb, but because it was in the plague zone, it wasnt easy to go and pick some. Deborah wanted to organize some troops to go along with Lin Xiao in a couple of days to ensure their safety, but Lin Xiao didnt agree.

A couple of days isnt that long, but Snow might not be able to wait that long, so it was better to bring back a fruit as soon as possible so she can finish experimenting.

So Lin Xiao decided to set out immediately and if it goes as expected then they should arrive at the mountain tomorrow.

At first, Deborah was worried that he would be in danger and tried to stop him, but thinking about it, with his strength he shouldnt be in any danger, and if he was actually in danger, then it wasnt anything normal people like them could help with, so she just let him go.

But even so, they would at least need a guide. So Deborah just made Bacon guide them to atone for his mistakes.

Deborah also noticed that Lin Xiao had a favorable impression of Mina, so she also ordered Mina to go along with them, that way she can also keep an eye on Bacon.

Mina was happy to go along with them! She was delighted to go with a legendary hero. Bacon was scared and didnt want to risk going to the plague zone, but he had no choice and could only just follow along.

And thus, after a short turbulence, they all set off. After they left, the remote supply station returned to its usual quietness. But Deborah would never expect that more uninvited guests would arrive that night.

Is anyone there?

Just as Deborah was planning to lock up and go to sleep, she suddenly heard a young youths voice.

Who is it?

When Deborah looked up, she was stunned!

Youre princess Claire?
