"When did you beco so kind-hearted? Do you know you almost ruined my big plan?" Leticia looked at Bai Ling with so surprise. Mo Zili had actively asked Bai Ling to take her away—this she really hadn't expected.
She had thought this Bai person got jealous and then abducted poor little Mo.
"So why did you use this thod to call over? I don't think you're the type who would..."
"Would what?" Leticia tilted her head.
"Ask for help."
"Ask... where did I ask you for help! This is an order, understand? An order!" Leticia imdiately jumped up. That was an order—ordering Bai Ling to bring Mo Zili to see her.
Our Demon King would never do sothing like asking for help.
"Mm mm, it's an order."
"Do you know how infuriating that tone is?!"
"Alright, stop fooling around. Ti to discuss business." Bai Ling blocked the small fist attacks from Leticia, speaking seriously to her.
Just from her previous behavior, she didn't seem to care much about business either. Saying she wanted to discuss business now was probably just trying to change the subject.
"The business is simple. Soone plans to drop a big thing here, and I need to stop her. Mo Zili is the condition needed to summon that big thing." Our Demon King concisely explained her current predicant. "In terms of power, it could probably destroy the entire Demon Realm."
This level of power surprised even Bai Ling, who was ntally prepared. She thought for a second, her lips moved slightly, and she uttered two words: "Deity?"
"Bingo, it's a deity." Leticia gave Bai Ling a thumbs up. "If I can't hold out here and that unsealed deity decides to attack the Human World, you alone probably couldn't handle it either, right?"
Although the demon race's relationship with that deity was obviously worse, who knew if it would want to tour other worlds after finishing with the Demon Realm?
No, this should be said to be a foregone conclusion. A deity—would it be content to stay in the small Demon Realm?
In this era without deities, as the only deity to break free from its seal, wouldn't it want to conquer the entire world to fulfill its lifelong ambition?
Even an idiot could figure this out, and Bai Ling naturally understood it clearly.
"So our goal is to prevent that person from releasing the deity, or if she does release it, to beat the deity back into its seal, right?"
"Your reaction is quite quick. That's exactly right." Leticia nodded.
Bai Ling looked at Leticia, then reached out to pinch the girl's soft cheeks. "My reactions have always been quick. But if the deity is really released, do we have a chance of winning?"
She was confident in her own strength, but when facing deities—these unreasonable things—anyone would feel uncertain.
And coincidentally, Leticia had confidence.
Our Demon King puffed out her tiny, insignificant chest proudly, saying: "That deity was hamred back into its seal once by my ancestor."
Although she didn't do it herself, her ancestor had done it. As a direct descendant of that ancestor, Leticia felt she probably could too.
There was no reason her ancestor could hamr it but she couldn't. Tis were progressing—her ancestor might not necessarily be stronger than Leticia.
In this proud emotion, she completely forgot that Bai Ling had apparently secretly pinched her face while she wasn't paying attention.
"It was once sealed by a Demon King?!" Bai Ling was genuinely surprised now. Leticia's ancestor was amazing, actually able to seal a deity.
"Yes, though I don't know how my ancestor did it, according to records she fought the deity for three days and nights and used her own strength to hamr the deity back. Impressive, right?"
Looking at the proud girl, Bai Ling resisted the urge to remind her that was her ancestor's achievent, not her own, Leticia's.
Who knew what spells that ancestor used at the ti, or whether she had help?
"And Mo Zili—she's a descendant of those people who released the deity at that ti." Leticia told Bai Ling. Although she didn't know how those people who should have been completely exterminated managed to pass down their bloodline, now that the person was here, what was the point of investigating the reasons?
Anyway, the bloodline had been passed down. But it seed this little girl had no idea what kind of sins she carried.
"I see. Do you suspect she's like her ancestors, wanting to release the deity?"
"No, I don't suspect her. I'm worried her teacher wants to do bad things. Releasing the deity doesn't require her consent." Leticia shook her head, denying Bai Ling's suspicion. "Since her ancestors once released a deity, it's possible her bloodline has beco connected to the function of releasing deities."
This wasn't nonsense. Demon society was like this—it emphasized bloodline inheritance. Demons whose ancestors produced powerful figures were naturally stronger than ordinary demons.
And like Leticia with her Demon King bloodline, every Demon King ancestor was a top-tier boss among demons. This bloodline passed down generation after generation, and by Leticia's generation, as long as nothing unexpected happened, she could continue the Demon King's glory.
Without effort, just with a little ti, Leticia could beco an extrely powerful mage.
Applied to Mo Zili, her ancestors had once released a deity, so her bloodline might be marked with the seal of releasing deities, to be used again after thousands of years—it wasn't impossible.
"Actually, I think the best thod is to burn her, the kind where not even ashes remain. That way no one could release the deity." Leticia said ominously.
At other tis, Bai Ling might raise her hand to knock so sense into Leticia, but right now, she felt Leticia's suggestion was very constructive.
Mo Zili was ultimately a demon. Although she liked humans and grew up in the Human World, and this incident's mastermind was still a human.
But Mo Zili was a demon.
Bai Ling felt sacrificing one demon to minimize risk was very worthwhile.
If it were a human, Bai Ling would struggle with whether sacrificing one person to protect the entire world was worth it. But since Mo Zili was a demon...
"I think it's feasible." Bai Ling looked up at Leticia. "Should you do it or should I? If I do it, the scene might be rather bloody."
"Holy crap, I was just speaking casually, don't take it seriously!" Seeing that Bai Ling really intended to draw her sword and kill soone, Leticia quickly stopped her. "There's also sothing about Little Ya I need to tell you."
"Strange magic-nullifying abilities when drunk?" After hearing Leticia's account, Bai Ling's eyebrows knitted together.
Bai Ya was an ordinary person—Bai Ling would stake her reputation on this. At least in this strongest human's view, her sister was undoubtedly a human without any special abilities.
She had tried secretly examining her sister's body when she wasn't paying attention, and the results were the sa as always—Bai Ya's body was very healthy, a perfectly ordinary little girl.
No energy fluctuations characteristic of superpower users in her body, which indicated Bai Ya's identity as an ordinary human girl.
"You don't believe ?"
"No, I believe you. I believe you wouldn't lie to ." Bai Ling quickly shook her head. How could she not trust Leticia?
Perhaps Bai Ling might have doubts about other matters, but regarding Little Ya, she really wouldn't doubt Leticia.
Because she knew Leticia and Little Ya had a good relationship, and the Demon King was soone who valued emotions deeply.
It's just that Little Ya having magic-nullifying abilities still made Bai Ling sowhat incredulous. But honestly, who would believe their adorable little sister had such ridiculously powerful abilities?
In Leticia's account, Little Ya's magic-nullifying ability was sufficient to silently erase the magic of three high-level demons including Leticia and Qila. Although limited to around her body, the potential was already imasurable.
If Little Ya could control this ability in the future and expand its range, she would undoubtedly beco a treasure for fighting demons.
With her standing there, magic couldn't even fly over. How were demons supposed to fight?
"But I'm still sowhat... do you have alcohol here? Should we get Little Ya drunk again?" Bai Ling asked sneakily.
Alcohol? Of course there was.
Leticia's place might lack everything else, but alcohol was never in short supply.
She only drank a small cup of wine each day. In Xue'er's words, one bottle of wine was enough for Leticia to drink for half a month.
When Xue'er purchased such things, she often bought extra for ergencies. Setting aside enough alcohol to get Little Ya drunk was quite simple.
"But Little Ya is your sister. Is it really okay to make her drink?" Leticia asked.
If she rembered correctly, Little Ya wasn't of legal age yet. Secretly getting an underage girl drunk—didn't that feel like committing a cri?
Bai Ling was really quite the sister.
"Didn't you already get her drunk once before? This ti just have Little Ya drink less." Bai Ling indicated it wasn't a big problem. Last ti without warning, Little Ya had no issues. This ti with preparation and herself present, problems would be impossible.
Rather than sitting here clueless, Bai Ling felt it was better to get Little Ya drunk again to demonstrate her abilities.
Close observation would always reveal sothing special.
"Since you've said so, I have no objections." Leticia walked to the study door and opened it, imdiately seeing two girls sneakily hiding in the corner.
"Sister Qianqian, your study's soundproofing is really good." Discovered, Bai Ya moved out from the corner with an awkward smile.
She had originally wanted to listen to what sister and Sister Qianqian were discussing, but even pressing her ear to the door, she couldn't hear any sounds from inside.
"I couldn't stop her." Mo Zili also obediently stood beside Little Ya, lowering her head to speak to Leticia.
She hadn't wanted to eavesdrop, but seeing Bai Ya's actions seed inappropriate, she tried to lead Little Ya further away.
But just as they reached the corner, Leticia opened the door and ca out.
"Ah, forget it. Mo Zili, co in for a mont. I have sothing to tell you." Leticia patted Mo Zili's shoulder and whispered in her ear: "It's about your background."
"Eh?!" Mo Zili looked up in surprise.
It had only been a few days, yet Miss Su had already found news about her parents? This was too fast, too efficient.
"Little Ya, go sit in the living room for a while. We'll co out right after finishing our discussion." Leticia smiled at the little girl.
Unable to eavesdrop and now being sent to the living room, Little Ya was starting to get a little angry.
What made her even angrier was that sister just stood behind Sister Qianqian without saying a word.
She really hoped sister would say to Sister Qianqian at this mont: "Let Little Ya stay and listen too."
But sister didn't. She stood there like a wooden person, not knowing what she was thinking.
Even after Leticia pulled Mo Zili into the room and closed the door, Bai Ling hadn't said a single word to Bai Ya.
This was too annoying!
Little Ya was really getting angry now.
"Bad sister! Bad Sister Qianqian!" The little girl puffed out her cheeks and ran angrily back to the living room.
She could already imagine what sister would say afterward—definitely sothing like "Little Ya doesn't need to know these things, just leave it to sister," that kind of talk.
She already knew such a big thing as Sister Qianqian being a demon, so why couldn't she know other things?
While Little Ya sulked here, Mo Zili in the room was getting scared.
After Leticia closed the door, the room's atmosphere imdiately changed. The previously relaxed mood suddenly beca heavy.
Bai Ling scrutinized her with examining eyes while Leticia stood to the side observing her actions.
This long scrutiny continued for who knows how long before Bai Ling finally spoke: "Perhaps you still don't know who I and the girl beside are."
"Ah?" Mo Zili, whose clothes were already soaked with cold sweat, was confused.
She knew Miss Bai and Miss Su. She even knew Miss Bai was called Bai Ling.
"To let you understand the seriousness of what we're about to tell you, I think letting you know our true identities is necessary." Leticia took over from Bai Ling. She had originally wanted to keep her identity secret, but since Bai Ling had started like that, she could only continue.
"Miss Bai and Miss Su's true identities?" Mo Zili's smile beca forced. She felt she was about to hear explosive news.
After knowing these things, she might not be able to leave this room alive.
"Mm, our true identities." Bai Ling nodded. "Don't worry. Although my suggestion is to eliminate future troubles permanently, she has different opinions, so you're currently still safe."
