47: Being Stubborn
"No need for now." Bai Ling shook her head. If that demon were just an ordinary demon, she could of course take action to erase her from this world, but she wasn't.
She was Qila, Princess of the Demon Realm, Leticia's biological sister.
"Because of Little Ya?"
"Little Ya finally made a friend. If I killed her, Little Ya would be very sad." This was a good reason, so Bai Ling naturally continued the conversation.
Not wanting to make her sister sad—what a reasonable excuse, and it perfectly fit Bai Ling's sister-complex personality.
Leticia naturally had no suspicions. She was able to maintain this superficial peace with Bai Ling also because of Bai Ya's existence.
Neither of them wanted to make Bai Ya unhappy. For Bai Ya's sake, these two mortal enemies could currently only curse each other in their hearts or fight three hundred rounds in their dreams.
Oh right, this was Leticia's thinking. As for what Bai Ling was thinking, who knew?
Anyway, Leticia still hadn't figured out what the hell this Bai Ling was thinking. This girl whose actions were almost impossible to predict with common sense gave Leticia quite a headache.
"Since you've finished asking, why don't you hurry up and leave?" Leticia decided to drive her away first.
Bai Ling refused. She pointed to her clothes that had a big hole torn at the chest and said, "I'll go back after Su Qi leaves."
"You actually know sha?"
"I've always known sha." The girl discovered that Leticia seed to have so deviation in her understanding of herself. "I do have common sense."
"I can't tell. Would soone with common sense run naked into a bathing girl's bathroom?" The scene from that day was vivid in her mory, making Leticia unable to agree with Bai Ling's words.
She, Bai Ling, humanity's Stellar Sword Saint, had teleported completely naked into the bathroom while the Demon King was bathing. Was this the behavior of soone with common sense?
"You're different."
"I am indeed different, but obviously my difference should be the bad kind of different, right?" Leticia walked up to Bai Ling and viciously poked Bai Ling's forehead with her finger. "Weren't we in a life-and-death relationship before? I still don't understand what you're thinking."
"Actually you know, and you know very clearly, don't you?" Bai Ling didn't answer Leticia's question. "To add so interest to a boring life."
"No, that's not your real thought." Bai Ling's explanation didn't convince Leticia. She shook her head and voiced her own view. "You're more like soone who t a person who could understand herself, who could stand at the sa height as herself."
"Forget it, let's not talk about this. Didn't you want to ask why I went looking for you earlier?"
"Mm, you looking for is quite rare." Seeing that Leticia didn't continue pursuing the matter, Bai Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If Leticia got to the bottom of it, she had no way to give an answer.
Because she herself didn't know the answer.
She didn't know why she had a natural fondness for Leticia, but this fondness did exist, and she didn't know its source.
She had vaguely felt this way during their first eting, and during that eting a few days ago, that strange feeling had beco even stronger.
Bai Ling didn't know why, but she knew that having laid down her heavy responsibilities, she could now follow her heart's feelings.
"The Guild Leader fell down and was hospitalized these past few days, so I thought about visiting her, but she didn't tell which hospital she's in." Leticia began explaining the whole story. "We agreed to et at the shopping street on Wednesday, and the Guild Leader told to bring you along."
"You agreed? How unusual." In Bai Ling's impression, Leticia should have refused directly.
Unless the Guild Leader had given Leticia a condition she couldn't refuse.
"Cough cough, don't look at with that kind of gaze. Am I that kind of person?" Discovering that Bai Ling's gaze was off, Leticia imdiately bristled. "Can't I just..."
Wait, she really couldn't have actively agreed to it.
Wouldn't this be confessing without being pressed?
She, Leticia, had always emphasized that her relationship with Bai Ling was bad. Simply agreeing to the Guild Leader's request like this—wasn't she slapping her own face?
So she had to have been bought off.
"Fine, I am that kind of person." Leticia had an expression like she'd eaten sothing bad. "One golden skin, and it's the kind you have to draw for."
"Oh? I'm only worth that much?" Bai Ling showed a smile of unclear aning. "In that case, I could also spend that much on your gas."
Yes, this Bai Ling had plenty of money. If calculated by the Guild Leader and Leticia's transaction amount this ti, Bai Ling could completely support Leticia for life.
"Heh, I agreed to the Guild Leader because I have a good relationship with the Guild Leader." Regarding Bai Ling's tycoon behavior, Leticia indicated she didn't accept just any bribe—only people with good relationships with her were qualified to make deals with her.
"It seems our relationship is also pretty good."
"Is there sothing wrong with your understanding?"
"We've also made deals before, haven't we?" Bai Ling tilted her head and said puzzledly. "Oh right, I've been looking at that ga recently too. The new banner opens next Thursday—rember to co find to draw cards."
If Bai Ling hadn't ntioned it, Leticia really hadn't realized she had already made a deal with Bai Ling once.
Sowhat annoyingly hamring her own head, Leticia weakly retorted, "That ti... was different."
Who told Bai Ling to give so much? A fully configured character—over ten thousand yuan!
The forr Demon King now had to bow down for this ten thousand yuan. It was truly deeply moving.
"Your mouth is really stubborn." Bai Ling had no intention of giving Leticia face.
Regarding the evaluation of being stubborn, Leticia couldn't accept it. "I..."
But she couldn't argue back, because even she herself knew very clearly that her stubborn habit couldn't be changed.
As the forr ruler of the demon race, it was impossible for her to admit her mistakes. The Demon King absolutely never made mistakes.
Even if she was wrong, it was her subordinates' fault.
For over ten years, Leticia had maintained this habit. Her stubbornness had beco a subconscious thing. Getting her to clearly and plainly express her aning could be said to be harder than ascending to heaven.
"Get lost, get lost, hurry up and get lost. I don't want to see you." Having failed on the verbal battlefield, Leticia flipped the table. She grabbed Bai Ling, who was facing her, spun her around, and pushed this girl toward the door.
She was driving her out.
"Not yet." Bai Ling imdiately steadied her stance. The seemingly delicate girl was now more stable than a mountain. "Su Qi hasn't left yet. I need to stay here a while longer."
