Picked up a Demon King to be a Maid

Chapter 368: Late Night Private Meeting

Elena?

The silver moonlight shone down and illuminated the side of the girls face, and left a thin silver glow on her hair.

Its so late already, what are you doing?

I cant sleep, so Im looking at the scenery. Lin Xiao leaned against the railing and casually responded.

The scenery? Elena slightly frowned and turned to look at the dark and empty streets, Did you see a ghost?

Yes. Lin Xiao seriously nodded his head.

Really? What kind? Elena believed it and asked curiously.

A female ghost. Very beautiful with a large chest, like you, walking around with a maid outfit, did you see?

Tsk

Realizing she was duped, Elena was about to get angry, but she remembered why she came and swallowed her temper and leaned against the railing deep in thought.

The return fire Lin Xiao expected never came so he turned to look at Elena and was dumbfounded.

Recently, Elena had indeed been a bit strange.

Shes been restless ever since they left Nighttown like she was hiding something. She never even argued with him a single time since and has been very obedient, although Lin Xiao liked that, but it made him uneasy.

Whats wrong? Lin Xiao asked.

Nothing.

Nothing then why arent you sleeping?

I-I Elena opened her mouth but didnt respond.

She couldnt say that she wasnt able to fall asleep because she had something on her mind and she sensed Lin Xiao coming here so she also came to talk to him.

I-I also cant sleep and came to look at the scenery. Elena could only imitate his words.

Uh its the middle of the night and pitch-black, what is there to look at?

Just like you, ghosts. Theres a perverted male ghost talking, did you not notice?

Hey, dont look at me, Im not a perverted male ghost!

This Elena, just as he said she was being obedient, shes acting naughty again!

But just as Lin Xiao was about to say something, Elena looked down and went quiet again. Lin Xiao finally realized there was something wrong.

Elena, do you have something you want to say to me?

From what he remembered, the only time she acted like this is when she was holding back something she wanted to say. But what he didnt know was what she wanted to say.

Did he do something wrong recently that made her angry? Or did someone else offend her and it wasnt convenient for her to say it directly?

Lin Xiao didnt know and could only look at her eyes and waited for her answer.

I do have something I want to say

Then go ahead, Im listening.

I-I you um Elena stammered but she still couldnt say it.

It was strange, she had already mulled over what to say in the corridor earlier, but when she saw his innocent smile, she forgot everything.

But even if she didnt say it, Lin Xiao got a general idea.

You must want to thank me thats not possible. Lin Xiao purposely dragged his voice out to observe Elenas reaction, The demon king wouldnt lower herself to thank a perverted human, so you definitely arent here to thank me, right?

I

I know, you must be worried about the bet between me and Snow, right?

Mm.

This time, Elena just nodded.

I know you must feel that our wager is too serious. I actually had a big fight with her to help you and I put my own happiness on the line, and youre a bit scared, right?

Elena nodded again.

Hm, I get it my good intentions might not be helping, and it might be a burden. Youre worried that I would resent you if we fail and I would want something if we succeed, right?

Pretty much

Elena hesitated and then nodded to acknowledge it.

If thats whats tearing you up, then you dont have to worry. Lin Xiao shrugged nonchalantly and spoke frankly, Thats right, I do believe that I should do whats promised so Ill help you to the end, but you dont have to be concerned about that.

Is that so

Yeah, so dont worry, I wont resent you even if I lose. Lin Xiao shook his head and smiled, Actually, its not as scary as youre thinking. Snow is my sister, its not like shes actually going to amputate me and keep me in a tank, its not like shes an actual yandere wait, she has said something terrifying like It would be nice if brother could become a doll and stay by my side forever before. Could she actually be a yandere? No, no, shes definitely joking, how could she bear to do that to me? Definitely not!

Lin Xiao wanted to comfort Elena, but as he spoke he started to scare himself.

What, laughing at me? Hmph, is my answer enough to comfort you? If thats the case, still not going to sleep?

Lin Xiao, you do understand me but, you still underestimate me. I admit, your bet with Snow did make me feel some pressure but I didnt come to find you to talk about that.

No?

This time Lin Xiao couldnt guess it.

In his eyes, Elena was an arrogant, disobedient, and bad-tempered girl. She hated accepting unexplained favors and wanted help from others but wasnt willing to lower herself. She didnt like being tied down by anyone or anything, even with the people closest to her.

For an aloof, eccentric, and problematic girl like her coming to him in the middle of the night, if it wasnt for thanking him or complaining, then what else could it be?

Lin Xiao, I never considered your promise to be troublesome, and I never feared. As for worrying about you getting punished by Snow sorry, if you were really amputated, I would be happy.

Uh, why do you have to be so heartless!

Actually, Im not that bad. Elena didnt bottle anything up anymore and said what she was thinking, You rejected Snows suggestion and insisted on taking the risk with me and Im happy, maybe not grateful, but I appreciate it.

So?

So I want to tell you one thing. Elena cleared her throat and declared, I want you to trust me.

Ah? Trust you? Lin Xiao scratched his head and didnt understand what she meant.

For this mission, Ill use my full power to help you and wont play any tricks so I want you to trust me and let me face difficulties with you. Thats what I wanted to say to you.
