Picked up a Demon King to be a Maid

Chapter 370: Picked Up a Ninja to be a Maid

Pursuers from behind and an ambush in front, this really hasnt been Lin Xiaos day.

Wasnt he just teasing Elena does it really warrant a blade to his neck?

He still had to think of a way to survive this night.

Xiao Hua, i-is that you?

He tried asking while turning to look, which resulted in the other party applying more pressure to his neck so he didnt move too carelessly. Lin Xiao was sure it was Xiao Hua so he tried acting chummy.

Uh, girl, its been so long, why you gotta do me like that?

Whos your girl!? How dare you meet privately with your maid at night tell me, how do you want to die!?

Uh, its a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! Listen to me c-can you please put it down first?

No! Protecting the lady is my responsibility, I need to help her kill off scum!

Xiao Hua, Im warning you, loyalty is cute, but pressing a blade to someones neck isnt!

Hmph, stop wasting time, give me a rationale for why I shouldnt kill you.

Rationale like what?

For example, chase your maid away and never see her again!

I cant do that how about something else? Im sure youll be satisfied with this. Lin Xiao spread his hands and spoke confidently.

What? Hurry up!

For example, your blade isnt as fast as light, right?

Hm?

Xiao Hua didnt understand but could instinctively sense danger, so after turning around she understood where his confidence was coming from.

It turned out that there were three light balls floating behind her, the milky white balls of energy were filled with rampaging magic power, ready to shoot fatal rays of light!

Thats right, her blade wasnt faster than light, if she was hit then she would immediately be stunned. She wouldnt be able to kill him even if her blade was already pressing against his neck, she would only be able to cut his skin, and she would lose consciousness from the shock.

No, how is that possible? I didnt notice you casting magic at all hmph, you crafty bastard. Xiao Hua bit her lips and knew that she wasnt a threat anymore. She could only withdraw her dagger and take a couple of steps back to admit defeat.

Lin Xiao smiled and gently waved his hands and the dangerous balls of light vanished into mist and disappeared into the darkness.

In the dim kitchen where neither of them could clearly see the other person, the atmosphere was awkward.

Well, dont be too upset. With my strength, there arent many people who can assassinate me.

Bastard, dont get too cocky if it wasnt for the fact that Im not good in combat, you would already be dead!

Oh, whats wrong with being cocky? You can be cocky too if you have the strength to.

You!?

Xiao Hua just hated that she wasnt strong enough.

But it was pretty lame she was actually a pretty strong killer, she wasnt as good as ShenDai Ying, but she would be more than enough to deal with a normal magician, but she was powerless against him.

Noticing that she went silent, he didnt purposely anger her anymore and gave her a way out.

So, what brings you here? Its definitely not to assassinate me probably for Sister Ying, right? Shell cook some noodles later, do you want some?

No need, I was the one who tricked her out of here.

? Lin Xiao thought for a bit and understood what happened.

He was a bit confused earlier why ShenDai Ying made him go wait in the kitchen, so it turns out she got a fake signal from Xiao Hua and ran off to meet her, but didnt know that Xiao Hua was already in the kitchen secretly meeting with Lin Xiao.

So you purposely lured Sister Ying away to meet with me alone? Lin Xiao scratched his head and was a bit embarrassed, Xiao Hua, c-could it be that you like me and want to confess?

What? Xiao Hua thought she was hearing things.

Well, I know that Im strong and have a good personality, so Im bound to be pleasing to girls, but Im sorry Xiao Hua, I cant accept you of course its not because youre not good enough, but its because I already have someone I like, so I cant accept you.

Bleghh Im going to throw up! Lin Xiao, I never thought you were a narcissist. Xiao Hua held her mouth and made an exaggerated vomiting motion.

Am I wrong? If youre not confessing, then why did you have to secretly meet up with me?

For your information! Bastard, you were the one who gave me this task and yet you forgot!?

Task? Oh, I remember.

A while ago he secretly got in touch with Xiao Hua and gave her a task, yet he forgot about it

I kept watch over wailing canyon for a week like you wanted really, why did I listen to your orders again?

A while ago, while she was getting in touch with the miss, she was caught by Lin Xiao. She thought she would be tortured for a confession, but he didnt get rough with her. He reasoned with her, moved her with emotion and explained the pros and cons and hoped that she would help him investigated the enlightened.

Lin Xiao even told her that he really liked ShenDai Ying and would surely marry her one day, so since she listened to ShenDai Yings orders then she should also listen to his and help him

Only Lin Xiao would be able to say those kind of things without shame.

Since he was tied to the lady now, if he were to be in danger, then the lady would also be troubled. Strictly speaking, the enlightened were not Shen Yue Ges allies, so there was no problems with her helping Lin Xiao to investigate, and with her skills she wouldnt be easily found.

So, did you find anything?

Hmph, find? I almost died!

She kept watch as Lin Xiao asked and finally saw the people she was waiting for.

There was a strange person called the apostle who brought his subordinate to investigate the cave you mentioned. I wanted to get closer to eavesdrop but they found out and I almost died!

Is he that strong? What happened?

Even with her ability, she was actually found?

I dont know he knew black magic, the finger of death, if I didnt have a substitution prepared before hand, I would have been instantly killed!

So you didnt find anything?

I-I didnt want to reveal myself, so I only have limited information. I just know that theyre somehow connected to the church, as for the others Xiao Hua lowered her head and stuttered, clearly appearing ashamed.

No matter what, it was humiliating to return empty handed. If it was a Shen Yue Ge mission, she would be severely reprimanded. So now, Lin Xiao would probably also scold her.

It cant be helped since she was a servant, it was her duty to listen to orders and complete missions, that was the reason for her existence, it had always been so. But the expected scolding never came, Lin Xiao shook his head and patted her shoulder to comfort her.

Dont worry Xiao Hua, you did well, self-preservation is the most important thing.

Ah?

Rather than the mission, your life is more important, so you have to be careful.

Hearing that, Xiao Hua couldnt help but feel a tinge of warmth and was a bit moved.

She had thought that Lin Xiao only took her for a convenient tool, but now it didnt seem so

You philandering bastard d-dont try anything with me, I wont fall for your flowery words! Xiao Hua took two steps back and drew her dagger to try and intimated him to hide her inner turmoil.

No, no, you misunderstand. Lin Xiao shook his head and explained, Xiao Hua, you can only be my servant and continue helping me get information if youre alive. If you die, who would I order around? So you cant die.

Hah!?

Xiao Hua almost choked and really wanted to get those feelings back from him!

So in the end this guy just wanted to order her around!

Bastard, Im the ladys servant, not your maid, I wont be ordered around by you!

Oh, maid? Not bad, maid is cuter than servant okay Xiao Hua, then youre also my little maid from now on!

Hey!?

He was really driving her crazy.

This man was strange, every time they met, all she felt was anger. She really didnt know what the lady liked about this bastard.

Sigh, lets be serious I dont get it, Lin Xiao, how did you know they would go back?

Well, thats simple. Lin Xiao smiled profoundly and didnt answer her.

This was actually a simple application of criminal psychology, usually, criminals cant help but return to the original crime scene. So if Adele was really controlled by that apostle, then when Adele went missing, he cant help but return to investigate.

Xiao Hua thought she came back empty handed, but that actually wasnt the case and brought back abundant information.

The apostle is connected to the church, he arranged for Adele to block wailing canyon and was strong.

Those were just guesses that Lin Xiao made, now he was finally able to confirm it and can confidently conduct other investigations!

Xiao Hua, I still need you to help me with one other thing!
