Picked up a Demon King to be a Maid

Chapter 342: Lin Xiao and Elena

The carriage rattled as it headed west with the distant canyon faintly visible.

The coachman Lin Xiao was tired and yawned nonstop while being hurried by a certain lady.

Inside the carriage, she stared fixedly at the road ahead with an icy expression. Her eyes contained a hint of anticipation and nervousness, and she kicked the coachman from time to time to perk him up.

Hm strange, you would never dare to treat me like this before.

The coachman rubbed his swollen bum while holding onto the reins and hurrying on.

Elena was indeed different recently, a good change was that she didnt treat him as coldly as when they first met, but the bad thing was that she became more and more disrespectful and violent.

How dare you kick me, it seems like youre itching for a beating, right? How about I use my dragon claws to give you some good loving!

Thump!

Ah ow, Elena, why do you keep kicking me for no reason? Did I do something wrong?

Pervert, stop thinking about disgusting things while drooling and get to driving.

Hah? D-drooling? Slurp uh, sorry, my bad. Lin Xiao wiped off the drool from the corner of his mouth and quickly changed the subject, I say, how come Ive never noticed how tyrannical you were before, youre a straight slave driver.

Theres only violence for a disobedient coachman like you.

Hm, you were a violent demon king as expected, using violence to suppress your subordinates when you were in the forest of the end, your subordinates must have hated you, right?

Hm? Elena took his words seriously, and stopped to think about it, They didnt hate me, but their attitudes towards me was strange.

Strange?

Yeah, I dont know how to explain it. Elena had complicated feelings when she was thinking about when she was the demon king.

At that time, she just wanted to be a good demon king and was concerned about her subordinates, but they all treated her strangely.

Every time she wanted to help a subordinate, they would always avoid her with a red face like they disliked her, and every time she disciplined someone who made a mistake, they would happily accept it and even wanted her to continue.

Was it the way she spoke that caused ambiguity?

Truly strange. Lin Xiao scratched his head and never thought that Elena would have those kinds of worries and asked with interest, Did you communicate with them back then like you do now?

Now? Elena noticed Lin Xiaos gaze and looked down at her own body, Un, father wanted us to maintain our human forms, so that we wouldnt get controlled by the instincts of our bloodline, so that we were more cool and rational to become a qualified leader.

Oh so did you also have a good figure back then as well?

yes. Seeing as that he was earnestly asking and not teasing her, she endured it and honestly responded, It was better when I was younger, but after I hit twelve, it didnt stop growing, I also didnt want it to end up like this. if it was smaller, it would have been a lot more convenient.

No way!? Thats the monarchs oppais! The gift to me from the goddess, so how could it get smaller! There are so many things you cant do if its smaller! No, definitely not, I wont agree! Hey, why are you getting closer? Wait! Dont kick me! Ah, no pinching either! Owwww, calm down, it was just a joke!

Cough, lets get back on topic. After they messed around for a while, Lin Xiao raised his hands in resignation and got serious again, Im curious, how did you speak with your subordinates before?

Um

As she recalled her past, she didnt know how best to explain it. So, she cleared her throat to give him a demonstration.

Come over here why are you so down lately, did anything happen? Dont worry and tell me, hehe, no matter what it is, Ill do my best to help you hm? Why is your face red, are you afraid of me? Dont be scared and come closer, I wont hurt you hey! Dont run!

Uh

He understood that she was helping, but anyone else would probably mistake it for her seducing her subordinates!

The demon king is so beautiful and if shes whispering that next to your ear, they would probably think that she was going to eat them up.

Elena continued her performance.

How could you do something like that yesterday? What a bad boy! Hm, you wont do it next time? Idiot, is there still a next time! What? You want to be called an idiot again? Is there something wrong with you? What? You also like that? Y-you really are incorrigible!

After her performance, Elena spread out her hands and gave Lin Xiao a helpless look.

I help them, yet theyre scared, I scold them, yet theyre happy. I really dont know where I went wrong.

Elena, you really are beautiful.

Pervert! W-what are you saying?

Uh nothing, I was just testing my conjecture.

Being called a pervert by Elena made Lin Xiao feel so refreshed, so the idiots back then probably also felt the same way.

Elenas cat form was nice, but her human form was too beautiful and too cute. Her gentle treatment would be mistaken for seduction and her scoldings would be enjoyed.

Elena was undoubtedly an outstanding woman, but as a ruler, she wasnt that qualified. The main reason being her figure!

That was her natural weakness as a leader.

Think about it, if you have to see a boss as beautiful as her walk around you all day, how can the subordinates even focus on their own work!

Elena, it seems like youre not that great at communicating?

Didnt you already know that

No, I thought you were purposely acting cold and hiding your expression to protect yourself. But now I realize that you dont understand anything.

Hah? Elena thought he was purposely angering her, but when she saw his serious expression, she curiously asked, W-what do you mean? Explain it!

Let me ask you, why did you refuse ShenDai Ying earlier? Lin Xiao suddenly asked an unrelated question.

Of course because I hate her, Elean responded without any thought.

That doesnt seem right if it was because you hated her, then you would have said so earlier and personally refused her, but you didnt. Instead, you lowered your voice and told me then got me to refuse her, so you were clearly concerned about her feelings.

Thats

Perhaps Lin Xiao understood her better than she did. According to her personality, if she did hate someone, she would personally reject them, why would she care about their feelings?

So, the real reason she did that was because

I-I just thought she would get in the way, so I didnt want to bring her.

Hehe, youre still not being honest, why cant you just say it? Lin Xiao shook his head and tore through her pretense, You were worried about her safety, right?

Even she herself didnt realize it, the reason she refused her wasnt that she hated ShenDai Ying, or because she was afraid of her secret being leaked, but it was because she was worried about her safety.

Although ShenDai Yings sword skills were demonic and she was extremely fast, but she was still a delicate girl. Dealing with one or two demonic beasts would be fine, but if she was surrounded any mistake would lead to a disastrous result.

In Lin Xiaos words, she would be .

If we brought her along, then you would be responsible for her and cant let her get hurt but thats too annoying, the demon king doesnt need anyone to drag them down, thats why you refused her, right?

Tsk how conceited, why do I have to worry about you lover?

Hehe, I take back what I said earlier, the demon king isnt violent at all, shes super cute and is a kind girl!

Kind? Hehe, I guarantee that youll change your opinion very soon.

How is that possible? My eyes are never wrong!

Oh, is that so, then lets bet on it.

Elena didnt respond and instead gave him another kick.

Were already here, where are you going?

Uh I was too focused on the conversation, and not on the road.

As they entered the canyon, because of how difficult the terrain was to navigate, the two had to go by foot to do a night raid on the demon nest!

Of course, their so-called night raid was just Elena disciplining some disobedient kids
