Picked up a Demon King to be a Maid

Chapter 340: Road Blocking Female Ghost

Abra smacked his lips as he continued to speak.

Its one thing that they looked down on his treatment, but to Abras surprise, Lin Xiao didnt even rest. Unlike Yao Zi and Lin Tian who went back to their rooms early and fell asleep immediately, Lin XIao took the girls to the streets before the sunset.

What were they going to do?

Abras curiosity was piqued and ordered everyone to follow them the entire way. He quickly got the news that they didnt do anything in particular, he just brought the girls to eat while enjoying the local scenes.

Were they just playing around?

So it turns out that Lin Xiao was just a youth that wanted to fool around?

Abra had a flash of doubt but after carefully asking for more details, he noticed something strange. Other than a couple of eateries, Lin Xiao went to the market, back allies, the old district, several bars and mercenary offices.

On a surface level, it didnt look there were any problems with that and they were just strolling, but Abra noticed something that stood out. With the help of the attendants, he marked all the places Lin Xiao went to on a map and noticed something incredible!

It turns out that Lin Xiao wasnt simply just wandering around but was gathering information.

He carefully planned out his route so that he could visit all the most important areas using the least time and distance so that they could return before it got dark In addition, he stayed the longest at the market and bars, yet he didnt buy anything or drink anything himself, rather he generously paid for other people Hes clearly gathering information! Abra seriously explained his conjectures to Caesar.

Gathering information?

Thats right!

Lin Xiaos understanding of Nightown and the wailing canyon was limited, even if he could ask others from the office, it was too one-sided and it was hard to get the whole picture. So he chose to ask around himself to get more reliable information.

The market and bars, these two places contained the most people and was where information traveled the fasted. The former was where you could collect information from the locals and the latter provided more secret information from the mercenaries.

But why did Lin Xiao have to investigate the situation at wailing canyon in secret?

Caesar was surprised when he heard that and looked at Rosie.

Does that mean hes going to help as well?

Uh, youll have to ask Abra about that

Rosie blinked and couldnt answer Caesars question, so they looked towards Abra and found that he stopped talking and was clearly hiding something!

Abra didnt want to let the cat out of the bag and wouldnt say anything no matter what Caesar or Rosie did. He chased them out of the office and then slipped away.

Strange, what is Lin Xiao planning

Even if they never got an answer from Abra, Caesar already got the answer he wanted. Even though Lin Xiao said he wasnt going to help, he was still preparing to help.

With a strong member like Yao Zi joining and Lin Xiao reliably scheming behind the scenes, its no wonder Abra was more relaxed.

But what was Lin Xiao plotting?

Could it be that he had a more efficient method other than a frontal assault?

Caesar left the office and parted ways with Abra with a stomach full of questions. He discussed a bit more with Rosie and still couldnt contain his curiosity and decided to confront Lin Xiao and ask for an explanation!

Abra said that Lin Xiaos room was across from the office oh, it should be that one!

Rosie pointed to a small building across the street from the office and brought Caesar over.

It was already late at night and the streets were silent and devoid of human activity. There were just Caesar and Rosie sneaking around into the inn and looking for Lin Xiaos room.

It couldnt be helped, almost everyone was already asleep, so they could only keep a low profile in order not to startle anyone else.

As for whether Lin Xiao was asleep or not Caesar didnt care, hell just drag him up! Caesar wouldnt rest until he got to the bottom of it!

Is it this room?

Caesar began knocking when he finally arrived.

Thump, thump, thump no response.

Caesar fell silent then gave Rosie a look, she understood and cleared her throat.

If Caesar called him, then he probably wouldnt open the door on purpose.

Hey Lin Xiao, its Rosie, are you there?

Hm, theres no sound open the door Lin Xiao!

There was still no response.

Strange did we get the wrong room?

According to Abra, he arranged three rooms for them. One for the siblings, one for Lin Xiao and Elena, and one for ShenDai Ying because of her special status.

As for how the rooms were distributed, it wasnt like that in the beginning.

ShenDai Ying originally wanted to room with Elena since they were both girls and Elena mentioned multiple times that she didnt want to stay with Lin Xiao because that pervert kept taking advantage of her while she was sleeping, but this time it was unexpected.

When they were distributing the rooms, Elena brought up that she wanted to stay with Lin Xiao and rejected ShenDai Ying which confused her.

Just yesterday Elena was still worried about being taken advantage of, so why did she suddenly change her mind?

Tsk getting intimate with his maid even when theyre out, Lin Xiao, what are you thinking?

Whats going on?

Is he not opening the door on purpose?

It doesnt seem like it, there were no sounds coming from inside like it was empty.

Just as they were perplexed, a middle-aged woman walked upstairs while holding a small light.

Hey, who are you two? What the hell are you making a ruckus for in the middle of the night?

Uh were here to look for someone, Lin Xiao who lives in this room. Hes our good friend. When they saw the owner, Rosie showed their investigator badge to prove their identity.

Lin Xiao? Oh, that black-haired brat?

Can you help us open the door? Hes not opening it and were worried about him.

Dont worry, hes not in the room that brat left with his maid earlier.

Eh? He went out?

What was he going out to do in the middle of the night?

Um, then do you know where he went? Were looking for him about something important!

How would I know where he went and can you guys quiet down, what if you wake the other guests? The woman complained then remembered something after pausing for a while.

Right. that kid left on a carriage.

A carriage?

Yeah, he rented a carriage and took his maid saying that they were going to enjoy the night scenery. He didnt specify where he was going and I didnt bother asking okay, okay, since hes not here, you should leave, I need to sleep!

The owner didnt bother with them anymore and chased them out before locking the doors and heading back to sleep.

And so, that left Caesar and Rosie facing each other on the pitch-black street.

He sure escaped quickly! Damn brat

Caesar, dont be angry.

Im not angry.

It doesnt matter, we can ask him when he gets back, its not like he wont come back, right so dont be angry.

I already said, Im not angry.

Um since youre not angry, then why are you grabbing my hand, i-it hurts

Ah? S-sorry.

Caesar realized that he was tightly gripping Rosies hand and quickly let go.

Since their night visit plan failed, they could only wait until Lin Xiao returned.

Caesar probably wouldnt be able to sleep well tonight, and neither will that youth who managed to slip away.

Half an hour ago

There was an unremarkable carriage parked outside the inn.

Sigh, first it was waking up early, now its pulling an all-nighter, what did I do to deserve this?

A lethargic youth was sprawled out next to the carriage with his eyes closed like he was mumbling in his sleep.

He probably wouldnt need long before he fell asleep, but then he was viciously kicked by the maid to his side.

Pervert, pull yourself together!

Ah, ooowwww Elena, why did you kick me again? Youre too violent for a maid!

Hmph, violence is the only thing that works on a lazy pervert like you.

Elena got on the carriage first, then pulled Lin Xiao in by his ears which made him scream in pain, and didnt dare complain about being tired anymore.

Lin Xiao lazily climbed into the carriage while yawning and set off. It couldnt be helped, he agreed to Elena so he couldnt go back on his word now, and would just have to endure it.

In the afternoon, Abra sent a couple of people to tail them. Elena actually already noticed them but Lin Xiao didnt bother with them, they could follow them if they liked, it didnt really matter.

Since tonight was the demon kings personal show

The horses hooves gently sounded against the road and the two finally set off.

While Lin Xiao was sleepily guiding the horse and thinking of ways to sneak a nap, he suddenly saw a figure of a beautiful girl waving at him on the road.

Hm, it seems like Im really sleepy

How could there be a beautiful girl in the middle of the night? Even if there was, its probably a ghost.

Lin Xiao rubbed his eyes to try and chase it away but ended up hearing a cry.

Lin Xiao, stop! Are you trying to kill me!?
