Picked up a Demon King to be a Maid

Chapter 480: Criteria For Finding A Wife

Snow, Im here! Haha, Im not late, right?

When Lin Xiaos voice rang out, it was like Snow grabbed onto a lifeline and all her panic and fear were swept away and it was as if that person appeared, and she wouldnt be bullied by anyone anymore!

It wasnt just Snow, when Nick noticed the person at the door, he gently clicked his tongue like he was giving up on something. He briefly parted with Snow and turned to leave.

Snow, you hm?

Lin Xiao saw Nick who had a sour expression and noticed the strange atmosphere and wanted to ask something but Nick glared as he passed by him and muttered annoying brat.

Lin Xiao was confused by Nicks attitude but didnt think much of it, so he just walked toward Snow along with Elona who was next to her.

Eh? Snow, whats wrong?

Perhaps it was because they were siblings, but Lin Xiao could immediately tell there was something wrong with Snow. Her body tightened like she was reacting with extreme fear, but Lin Xiao didnt understand, there were no enemies nearby so why would she be scared?

Lin Xiao quickly sat next to her and hugged her and realized that her back was wet with sweat.

Brother! Brother! Wuuuu youre finally here!

Snow held her brothers hand and buried her head into Lin Xiaos chest.

After a while, Lin Xiao finally realized that the person who scared her was Nick. According to Snow, Nick was acting very strangely, although she didnt have evidence, she felt like Nick was trying to kill her and she had no one to rely on next to her, so thats why she was so scared.

Are you saying that Nick is part of the enlightened?

Lin Xiao became serious and it was like if Snow nodded he would rush out and bomb Nick into meat paste.

Snow could feel her brothers anger and knows that he was worried about her so she felt warm and hugged onto him tighter.

Only at times like this would Snow let go of her competitiveness and become that cute little sister.

But she couldnt actually tell her brother to go finish off Nick, that would be too much.

Hm, brother, calm down actually, I dont know if Nick is bad or not.

You dont know? Uh, did Nick do anything to you earlier?

No.

Did he touch you?

No.

Did he say anything, or threaten you?

N-no.

Snows voice got quieter and quieter as she was evidently embarrassed. This confused Lin Xiao as he scratched his head and asked.

If Nick didnt do or say anything, then why were you so scared?

Hm perhaps I was overthinking it and scared myself.

Hah? Scared yourself? Are you an idiot?

Hehe, I was just scared

Snow stuck her tongue out to hide her embarrassment and then used her head to rub Lin Xiaos stomach while complaining.

Wuu brother, youre not comforting me but being mean! Elona wasnt by me and you were late, Im still a kid that was alone, so isnt it normal?

Uh, so now youre a kid? Who was it that kept crying that she was grown up and wasnt a kid anymore?

Hm stinking brother, I dont like you anymore!

Hehe, I was just joking, I ah! Snow dont pinch there, its sensitive ah! W-why are you biting me!? Owww let go, you bad girl!

Clingy Snow may be cute, but unfortunately it didnt last long. Snow wasnt even in his embrace for two minutes before she started struggling.

Lin Xiao felt helpless was this the so-called rebellious period? But isnt it too early, hes never heard of a 10-year-old rebelling

On the other side, Elona was pleased as she watched the siblings happily fool around. Even she rarely sees Snow so happy so she didnt interrupt and silently left to do other chores since she didnt have to worry about Snow with Lin Xiao there.

After fooling around for a bit, they had enough and got back on topic.

Snow wasnt sure if Saint Nick was part of the enlightened, so she would be investigating from now on. This time, what she called Lin Xiao had nothing to do with Nick, but the final material she needed.

What? As long as you have the sacred crystal fruit then you can completely uncover the secrets of the black core?

After hearing the good news, Lin Xiao immediately agreed. He knew that it would be inconvenient for Snow and this matter had to be kept secret, so naturally he was most suited for the task.

But the problem was where should he go looking for it?

Gotham Kingdom is so big, how would I know where to find the fruit? I cant just wander around aimlessly, right?

Tsk, then just die you lazy bastard! Dont worry, I wont make you wander around aimlessly. I heard that one of Barretts underlings discovered one in the plague zone, so go ask him and you should be able to get some information.

That cool uncle? Lin Xiao didnt really want to meet Barrett, so he hesitated, Since he already found it, then cant you just go ask him?

Idiot! I would have gone already if I could, why would I need you?

Snow pinched his waist again when she realized her brother was trying to slack off again.

Firstly, Snow still had a lot of other work to deal with, so it was inconvenient for her to leave. Secondly, her personally asking would be too conspicuous, so she was afraid something else might happen.

Most importantly

Hasnt Barrett already recognized you as a big brother, and you also successfully got Claire in your harem so if it was you, you can definitely get it from him!

Hah? Snow, where did you hear those rumors from, what big brother, and harem was it that bastard Nick?

Hmph, so what? Was he wrong?

Tsk annoying pretty boy, even if he wasnt part of the enlightened, hes definitely no one good!

Save it! Anyways I know all about all the bad things you did!

Im innocent! Its clearly fake, Barrett is a grand marshall, how could he be recognized me as a big brother?

So that means Claire was indeed taken into your harem?

Uh n-no!

Stinking brother, I know all about how you cant move when you come across a beautiful woman! Claire may be a tomboy, but I heard she dressed up all pretty and is also a dignified princess and the kings representative, its no wonder you would like her!

Dont slander me like that, I only see her as a friend!

Hmph, I dont believe you! Hm but thinking about it, Claire is indeed outstanding, although theyre both princesses, shes far better than that slutty vixen!

Ah? Is she?

Lin Xiao thought about it for a bit and realized that was probably true.

Though they were both princesses, their situations were completely different. ShenDai Ying was abandoned and given to Lombard kingdom as a child bride, she had no status. While Claire had power and was respected by the people.

They were worlds apart in comparison.

But you cant just look at power and status when looking for a wife! Although ShenDai Ying had a hard life and experienced unimaginable ordeals, Lin Xiao wouldnt dislike her just because of that. Rather he felt sorry for her and hoped that he could bring her happiness!

Right! Speaking of sister Ying Snow, do you have some time to give her a checkup?

A checkup? What, is she pregnant with your kid?
