Chapter 203: 202 Nima, terrifying Chapter 203: 202 Nima, terrifying “Mmm, still so delicious.”
In front of Lilith’s Dessert Shop, Ai Yi finally got the dessert she wanted and was munching on it contentedly, nodding her head with satisfaction.
Shane stood next to Ai Yi, looking at his much flatter purse, counting the few Gold Coins left inside, and felt that this second life was really hard.
Ai Yi naturally saw Shane’s withering-in-the-wind attitude and spoke with annoyance.
“It’s just a few desserts, isn’t it? Others can’t wait to give me stuff, you’re the only one who’s so reluctant.”
As she spoke, Ai Yi took another bite of her dessert, looking quite righteous.
“You’re obviously a big shot, yet you stoop for such trivial things. Don’t you think that’s beneath you?”
Shane harshly criticized.
But Ai Yi appeared completely unconcerned.
“Tasty things are tasty, it has nothing to do with status.” Ai Yi spoke as if she was uttering some grave truth, but then she looked puzzled and asked, “Also, what’s a big shot?”
On hearing this, Shane’s mouth twitched, and he deflated on the spot, no longer wanting to say anything.
If it had been Luoqi, Shane would have thoroughly brainwashed her into understanding what it meant to be “brainwashed.”
However, dealing with this naive girl who seemed sheltered and ignorant of the world but had a considerable background, Shane really couldn’t bring himself to lead her astray and potentially make her go bad.
To raise a big shot who’s too down-to-earth for this world?
The Demon Realm would probably want to kill him, right?
Shane could only give up and sighed.
“By the way, weren’t you at home? How did you end up coming out on your own?”
Shane turned the page on the topic and asked Ai Yi.
Who knew, this instead made Ai Yi dissatisfied once again.
“If I don’t come out, do you want me to stay home alone?” Ai Yi said with great dissatisfaction: “Although I do sleep a lot, when I’m not sleeping, I really hate being bored, you know?”
Indeed, the pillow that the little girl carried around was not just for show; she genuinely loved her sleep.
At least, during the days she stayed with the Lazahad family, Ai Yi would sleep until noon each day, and even when she got up, she still seemed drowsy, rubbing her sleepy eyes in a scene that made Lu Muya and Merica’s eyes fill with hearts countless times. Even Vivian and Tielle sometimes couldn’t help but gaze intently at such a girl.
According to her own words, in the past she had even fallen asleep for several hundred years at a time, experiencing long periods of sleep that spanned over a decade or several years, sometimes getting sleepy while walking and then nodding off.
The reason why Ai Yi carried a pillow wherever she went was because of this.
Of course, people like Vivian mentioned that Ai Yi didn’t just carry her pillow for sleeping but also for blocking.
But what it was exactly she was blocking, they didn’t want to tell Shane.
This made Shane incredibly curious, and a few times he wanted to snatch Ai Yi’s pillow away, but the girl valued her pillow greatly, and any attacks aimed at it were instantly deflected.
But this only made Shane’s curiosity grow stronger, and once he even directly asked Ai Yi to let him have a peek.
“I’ll just look at it for a second!”
That’s what Shane had said at the time.
“How could I let you see it?”
However, Ai Yi refused without hesitation and even glared at Shane.
Shane persisted, wrapping Ai Yi up in his nagging until she couldn’t take it anymore.
In the end, Ai Yi could only throw Shane a reason.
“If you saw it, you would stare at me just like those annoying males, and I don’t like that kind of gaze,” she said, “not to mention the intent behind those eyes.”
So, Shane couldn’t figure out this mystery.
Speaking of which, because of her sleepiness, the little girl sometimes couldn’t be woken up no matter how much you called her. This led to a few occasions when she woke up to find not a single familiar face at home.
Could it be the same this time?
That’s why Ai Yi must have run out on her own.
“I was planning to look for you, but it seemed like you were in the Royal Palace, so I didn’t go over. I just wandered around here.”
Ai Yi explained the reason for her presence here.
“Alright,” Shane shrugged his shoulders, but soon asked with confusion, “How did you know I was in the Royal Palace?”
Shane had asked this question casually.
Who would have thought that because of this, Shane would learn something startling.
“I left a trace of Magic Power on you,” Ai Yi said casually, “That way, no matter where you are, I can feel it.”
“I see,” Shane nodded out of habit, then suddenly realized something was amiss and exclaimed in astonishment, “You did something to me?”
“That sounds terrible,” Ai Yi frowned, “It’s just a trace of Magic used for positioning and sensing. Other than that, it doesn’t do anything else. Otherwise, even I would have a hard time sneaking around and doing whatever on you.”
Clearly, even for Ai Yi, toying with Shane, who had leveled up his Physical Resistance, Magic Resistance, and Abnormal State Resistance Skills, was not an easy task.
And it was fortunate that Shane’s Holy Sword was sealed with three layers, dramatically weakening its power. Otherwise, even if Shane didn’t actively use the Holy Sword, with its suppression of the Demon Clan, Ai Yi would have absolutely no way to leave her Magic Power on him.
However, even without the influence of the Holy Sword, perhaps only a being of Ai Yi’s caliber could interfere with Shane, who had filled all kinds of Resistance Skills to the max?
But Shane didn’t feel honored at all.
Doesn’t this mean that no matter where he went from now on, he could never hide from this little girl?
It seemed her clinginess was even worse than he had imagined.
“By the way,” Shane suddenly remembered something and spoke to Ai Yi, “Today, when I visited the Royal Palace, I saw one of your Demon Clan’s big shots.”
“Really?” Ai Yi didn’t care, continuing to nibble on her dessert and asking absentmindedly, “Which one?”
“His name is Jiasinta. I heard he’s a lieutenant under the Dragon Demon among the Six Great Demons, a sort of second-in-command in the Demon Realm,” Shane probed, “Do you know him?”
Hearing this, Ai Yi stopped eating.
“Him?” Ai Yi said without a second thought, “What’s that idiot doing in the Human Realm?”
“Idiot?” Shane was startled by the name.
He had revealed Jiasinta’s visit to see Ai Yi’s reaction, to gauge her attitude towards the existence who was like a second-in-command in the Demon Realm, to speculate on Ai Yi’s status within the Demon Realm.
Now, seeing Ai Yi unhesitatingly calling the other party an idiot, could it be that Ai Yi’s background was even bigger than Jiasinta’s?
Bigger than the existence that was like the second-in-command in the Demon Realm?
What exactly is this girl’s background?
Immediately, Shane weakly told Ai Yi everything that had happened today.
Ai Yi initially didn’t care much about it until Shane mentioned that members of the Old Demon Clan Faction had appeared in Sterling’s Domain. Only then did the girl’s expression darken, and a cold light gleamed in her eyes.
Ai Yi let out a cold snort.
That snort made the surrounding atmosphere tremble violently.
