Picked up a Demon King to be a Maid

Chapter 358: An Incurable Wound

Her aunt had been talking normally, but Elena realized that her breath was getting weaker and weaker until she didnt even have the strength to keep her eyes open.

W-whats happening? Wasnt the black magic already removed? Why is this still happening aunt? Aunt? Elena was afraid that was a nap she would never wake from, so she repeatedly called for her.

Stop shouting

Adele bitterly smiled and could only lift a few fingers, Elena quickly grasped her hand and pressed it against her face, clinging to her aunts remaining body warmth.

Even though Adele didnt know anything about black magic, but she knew her own body

Despite these two helping her to get rid of the black magic, she was already too injured.

Elena, listen to your aunt dont go to Gotham Kingdom you have to live well.

Unfortunately, Elena never liked to listen to others, since her aunt said that, it meant something big was going to happen soon. Perhaps even related to the rebellion, if Elena didnt investigate it, how could she face her tribe who endured so much?

What the hell was the enlightenment society up to, and who the hell is the apostle?

How dare he make her beloved aunt suffer so much, Elena wouldnt forgive him that easily, she had to tear him to shreds!

What happened in Gotham Kingdom? Tell us clearly!

Dont ask and dont go

As Adele spoke, she suddenly coughed. Elena looked down and saw splotches of fresh blood and was scared stupid.

But aunt, I, I

Just live your days out with your master Elena, dont worry about the demon stuff remember youre not the Demon King youre just a maid now

Aunt!?

Hehe, you have to officially introduce Lin Xiao to me if we have the chance Im also very interested heh.

Adele smiled again and used her finger to gently wipe away Elenas tears.

The instance the tear hit her finger, her arm also dropped powerlessly.

Aunt! Aunt!

No matter how much she screamed or pleaded, it was all futile.

Elena hugged her aunt while sobbing.

She finally met one of her tribe and worked hard to save her from the black magic but it still ended up like this, how could Elena accept that?

What was most scary wasnt despair, but first giving you hope then crushing that hope to pieces right in front of you

How did this happen?

How could mere black magic kill her aunt?

Elena couldnt accept that kind of reality!

Red-eyed black cats were extremely resistant to magic, so even if she was affected by black magic, it shouldnt be fatal, so how could her aunt just die like that?

Elena almost lost her calm when faced with the sudden change, but this time she thought of Lin Xiao. That damn pervert would always have a lazy attitude, but he could always successfully find the best way to get out of an impasse

If Elena could learn from him, keep calm and rationally analyze the situation, then wouldnt it be the same?

Thinking of that, Elena looked back and found that he was already fast asleep, so that completely dispelled any thoughts of asking for help.

Since her aunt was injured, then didnt she just have to heal her?

Elena bit the top of her tongue and kissed her aunts lip and tried using her own blood to heal her aunt, and it was effective!

The festering wounds stopped bleeding, they werent fully healed but they werent a problem anymore. Adele also recovered her weak breaths.

But before Elena could be happy, she noticed something strange, Adele should wake up after her breathing returned. But regardless of what Elena did, her aunt wouldnt wake up and was in a deep sleep like she was dead.

Why was it because her mind was damaged?

Elena remembered that Lin Xiao said her aunt was affected by strong mental magic that would cause a significant amount of damage to her mind. Even though she was able to find the three engravings, the process wasnt exactly gentle, and thats possibly why her aunt was still comatose.

She was clearly alive, she was just comatose. In human terms, she would be called a vegetative person.

After Elena figured out what was going on, she didnt know whether to be happy or sad.

The bad thing was that she didnt know how to wake her aunt up, but the good thing was that she didnt have to worry anymore.

She couldnt heal Adeles mental injuries, but the good thing was that mean she didnt have to worry about her physical condition worsening, in that sense, Adele was safe.

So there was only one thing Elena needed to do

Time to go home.

Elena sighed and wiped her tears and made the correct decision.

In order to save her aunt, she had to bring her aunt back to the city.

So, Elena carefully placed her aunt on the floor, tidied her clothes, and prepared to leave with Lin Xiao.

Phew, Lin Xiao, lets hurry hm?

Elena had wanted to kick him awake, but she noticed he was deep asleep and even drooling.

Hmph, lazy.

Elena smiled while raising her foot and was going to stomp on his stomach to wake him up, but before she did, she stopped.

Although his sleep face was embarrassing, Elena remembered who he stayed up all night for and who he expended all that magic power for.

She only focused on worrying about her aunt and forgot about him

Sigh, just die in your sleep you lazy slob.

Elena cursed at him, even though she didnt actually step on him, she still symbolically gently tapped his stomach with her foot to establish dominance. Lin Xiao grumbled something incoherent, flopped over and continued sleeping.

Elena couldnt bear to wake him up, so she had to think of a way herself.

Little tiger, are you still there.

She still remembered that they encountered a large tiger when they entered the cave that was rendered immobile by her intimidation, so it was probably still there.

Arooo~

As expected, there was a low howl that came from the darkness as it heard Elenas calls. After a while, that large flaming red tiger slowly walked over.

But to Elena, they were little babies no matter how large the tigers were.

Red, come here, help me bring my aunt out.

Awoo!

Red bared its sharp fangs and howled in protest.

If a human saw this they would think that it was angry, but Elena knew that it was just scared.

Dont worry, my aunt was just being controlled and wont order you to do anything strange anymore as long as you listen, Ill let you go home.

Elena gently touched the whiskers next to its mouth and completely treated this tiger like her pet.

Red listened to Elena and happily nodded its head. It walked closer and dropped its head as it carefully sniffed Adele. It seemed to have lingering fears, but after probing for a while and confirming that she couldnt move, it safely lowered its head and let Elena ride on top with her aunt as it headed out of the cave.

Oh right theres one more person. Bring that human as well!

Aroo?

Red stopped and thought it mistook the Demon Kings orders and didnt understand why she would care about a human, but it still walked over and picked him up with its mouth and threw him on top.

S-soft hehe.

Lin Xiao revealed a blissful smile while he felt Reds fluffy fur.

Pervert, he must be dreaming about something obscene.

Elena snorted and didnt think about what beauty that damn pervert was dreaming about and quickly ordered Red to leave the cave.

Is it already morning

It felt like a lifetime since she last saw the morning sky.

But how should we get back, its not like Red can take us back

Elena suddenly remembered something.

She had to wait here for someone.

A handmade lunchbox is it hmph, how good can it taste.

She followed what Lin Xiao had previously planned, and quietly ordered something to Red before chasing it away then she watched over Lin Xiao and her aunt, silently waiting for that person to arrive.
