51: Night Raid
"Sister, where did you go? It's almost ten-thirty before you ca back." When Bai Ling returned from downstairs, she first faced questioning from her sister.
Bai Ling tightened the robe around her body and said in a flat tone: "Went to catch a thief."
"Huh?" Bai Ya was dumbfounded. She never expected her sister would co up with such a reason.
But this reason was unexpectedly convincing—Bai Ling was exactly the type of person who would do this.
Getting into action at the drop of a hat was very much in line with Bai Ya's impression of her sister.
"Did you catch them?"
"Caught them, but didn't get any information out of them." Bai Ling shook her head. She wasn't lying—she had indeed seen that little thief, but the mont she appeared, Xue'er had knocked the thief unconscious.
"I see." Bai Ya breathed a sigh of relief. "Is the security around here really that bad? To have such detestable thieves."
This wasn't really a matter of good or bad security—the main responsibility lay with Bai Ya's good friend.
"Where's Su Qi?" Bai Ling asked about the situation with the culprit.
"Is Sister Bai Ling back?" Hearing soone calling her na, Su Qi imdiately poked her little head out from Bai Ya's room.
Bai Ling gave Su Qi a aningful look. "Mm, you two go take baths first. I'm going back to my room."
Being glanced at by Bai Ling's murderous gaze, Su Qi felt her soul was about to fly out of her body. She almost thought she was done for just then.
This woman was incredibly formidable.
Thank goodness Bai Ya was here to serve as her shield, otherwise she might have been killed on the spot by Bai Ling just now.
After the shock, Su Qi's heart was also full of confusion. Although her strength couldn't compare to her sister's, she was still considered outstanding among the demon race. So why did she feel that this Bai Ling was undefeatable?
She had only felt this sensation with one person before—her sister, the monarch of the demon race, Leticia.
It couldn't be that this Bai Ling was a powerhouse on the sa level as her sister, could it?
On the human side, the only one on the sa level as her sister was Stellar Sword Saint. Su Qi didn't believe her luck could be so bad that the first good friend she made in the human world was the sister of Stellar Sword Saint.
"Little Qi, Little Qi, stop spacing out. You go take a bath first." Bai Ya pulled Su Qi to the bathroom door. "You can take a soak too if you want."
"Ah..." Su Qi's expression was sowhat forced. Such enthusiasm was really more than she could handle. "I'll just wash briefly. Little Ya, you go back and rest first. Don't worry about ."
"Mm-hmm."
......
Deep night, quiet and still.
Su Qi lay on the sowhat narrow bed, staring straight at the ceiling.
The ti had already reached two in the morning, but Su Qi had no intention of sleeping at all.
There were two reasons. First, she was worried that after she fell asleep, that Bai Ling would suddenly jump out and give her a knife. Second, the sleeping posture of the girl beside her was truly outrageous.
At first, Bai Ya was quite well-behaved, keeping to her side of the bed without interfering with Su Qi on the other side. But once Bai Ya fell into deep sleep, everything changed.
This girl had gradually moved toward Su Qi bit by bit. By the ti Su Qi realized it, Bai Ya had already wrapped around her like an octopus.
This experience made Su Qi quite nostalgic. When she used to sleep with her sister, her sleeping sister was even more outrageous than Bai Ya.
Su Qi still hadn't figured out how a person could manage to turn their body upside down while soone else was sleeping beside them.
Yes, this was Leticia's sleeping posture from a few years ago—the sleeping posture of that cold and ruthless Leticia.
Only at those tis could Su Qi feel that her sister was still a young girl, a living being.
Click—a soft sound rang out. Su Qi looked toward the bedroom door in confusion, wanting to see who had opened the bedroom door.
Obviously, it couldn't be anyone other than Bai Ling.
The white-haired girl in pajamas tiptoed into the room. She ca to Bai Ya's side, bent down to observe carefully, and after confirming that her sister was fast asleep, she looked toward Su Qi, who was breaking out in cold sweat.
"Don't be afraid. I just want to chat with you." Bai Ling lowered her voice and said to Su Qi.
"Now? Here?" Su Qi indicated she couldn't understand Bai Ling's thought process. Was this ti and place really good for chatting?
Please, big sister, it's two in the morning, and your sister is still clinging to . Are you sure you want to talk to now?
"What's wrong with it?"
Everything's wrong with it! Su Qi wanted to shout out loud, but under the pressure of Bai Ling's gaze, she swallowed her words.
"No problem. Please speak." Su Qi forcibly suppressed her desire to complain and submitted to Bai Ling's tyranny.
"That thief was sent by you, wasn't it?" Bai Ling asked straight to the point.
Su Qi's pupils contracted. So it really was about this matter?
"Sister Bai Ling is joking. I'm just an ordinary high school girl." Deny, absolutely must deny.
"In your answer just now, probably only 'girl' was true." Bai Ling said coldly. "It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. Anyway, both you and I know who did it."
"I don't understand what you're talking about."
"You understand, otherwise you wouldn't be so afraid." Bai Ling reached out and gently wiped Su Qi's forehead. "Quite a bit of sweat."
"Can't I be hot?" Su Qi indicated she wasn't afraid, just that Bai Ya clinging to her was making her feel hot all over.
Bai Ling definitely wouldn't believe such an excuse, but she hadn't co here to interrogate this ti. She just wanted to warn Su Qi, that's all.
"I know who you are." Bai Ling said very calmly to Su Qi. "Princess Qila from the demon race."
"How do you know?" This ti, Su Qi was truly surprised. "I clearly..."
She had clearly used the best disguise magic, and among the demon race, only a few demons had seen her true appearance.
How could her identity have been exposed?
Right, last ti—that contact lens from last ti!
That lens fragnt had a permanent True Sight magic inscribed on it. Could it be that magic that saw through her disguise?
But to see through her disguise, the caster of that True Sight magic would have to be strong—much, much stronger than Qila.
There was only one such mage in the world.
"Do you know my sister?" Qila stared at Bai Ling and asked this question while suppressing her excitent.
Only her sister could do such a thing.
Only this way could Bai Ling recognize her, this demon princess.
"I don't know her." Bai Ling looked away.
"As I thought, you do know my sister. Tell , where is my sister hiding now!" Bai Ling's reaction made Qila certain of her guess. That's right, this Bai Ling definitely knew her sister.
