"Someone is chasing me!" Mo Zili frowned and raised her hand. All the blood in her body seemed to be boiling, trying to tell her that someone had locked onto her.
And that person was already rushing toward her.
"Someone knows your location?" Bai Ling was currently concentrating fully on the diagrams in her hand. Hearing Mo Zili's words, she looked up and asked somewhat puzzledly, "Did someone take your personal belongings when you weren't paying attention?"
As long as someone obtained a person's personal belongings, with the demons' many spells, finding the owner of the item was very simple.
"Um, probably not..." Mo Zili paused, then thought of the drop of blood Leticia had taken from her a few days ago.
"Miss Qianqian took a drop of blood from me."
Oh, that explained it. Leticia.
"If it's her, then that's normal." The spells the Demon King possessed could basically be said to be the most numerous on the demon side. Finding someone through a drop of blood should be effortless for Leticia.
Of course, Bai Ling naturally had ways to deal with this kind of magic.
She had always been practicing how to fight against demons. How to respond after having blood taken was also a required course.
"Grab my hand. Let's leave here first." Bai Ling folded the diagrams she had finished reading and placed them in a conspicuous location. "Consider these a gift for her."
She still didn't want to meet with Leticia face-to-face, but sharing her intelligence with Leticia wasn't a bad thing.
After all, they weren't enemies, but comrades having a little spat.
Comrades should do what comrades ought to do.
These intelligence reports seemed normal to Bai Ling, but perhaps in Leticia's eyes as a demon, there would be something wrong with them.
"Alright, let's go." Dreamlike clouds like nebulae swirled around Bai Ling. These clouds could block magical detection and could also be used to sever the connection between those within the fog and the outside world.
Now, Mo Zili could no longer be detected.
Of course, if Mo Zili ran out of the cloud's range now, she would be detected again by Leticia's magic. The cloud's effect was real-time, not permanent.
As soon as Bai Ling activated her clouds, Leticia immediately had a reaction.
The illusory red line flickered a few times before disappearing. That drop of blood also became silent as if dead. The guidance disappeared.
"Tch, discovered." Leticia clicked her tongue in displeasure and resealed Mo Zili's blood in ice.
Though she lost the guidance, Mo Zili had been staying in one place without moving before. She planned to go to that place to look around—maybe she could find some clues.
If Mo Zili was kidnapped, she should have left some clues to let herself find her.
After all, when being tracked, the target would have sensations. Mo Zili knew someone was using her blood to track her current location.
Leticia's speed was quite fast. One minute later, she had already appeared in that alley.
Sniffing, she felt like she smelled a very familiar yet very annoying scent.
A bit fragrant, reminding her of a certain white-haired bastard.
In the center of the alley, a stack of folded yellow diagrams was placed there as if afraid of being overlooked. Obviously, they were left by whoever had just been here.
Leticia walked forward, bent down to pick up these papers from the ground, and casually flipped through a few pages. "Tch, is it that guy?"
She roughly guessed who Mo Zili was with. This familiar scent, these clues left behind—obviously, it was that bastard surnamed Bai.
"Does she look down on me, thinking I need her help? Damn it." Leticia said through gritted teeth with a dark expression. "Don't let me catch you, or you'll get what's coming to you."
As for these diagrams, Leticia couldn't understand them. She planned to take them back for the professionals at the Demon King Palace to examine and see if any secrets were hidden inside.
As for Mo Zili, since she was with Bai Ling, she would temporarily ignore it.
Bai Ling leaving these things for her meant that in her view, Leticia was still on her side for now. She just might not want to meet with Leticia face-to-face currently, so she left these clues and then left this place with Mo Zili.
The tracking might also have been blocked by Bai Ling. Mo Zili didn't have the ability—she just knew she was being tracked, but to escape tracking still required a big shot like Bai Ling.
When Leticia walked out of the alley, the sky was already approaching dusk. After being busy all day, she only learned one somewhat useful clue: that Mo Zili was taken away by Bai Ling.
Why did Bai Ling take Mo Zili away?
How would Leticia know? Perhaps because Bai Ling got jealous and planned to eliminate this mistress?
Wow, Miss Bai wasn't the yandere type of character. She wouldn't be like that.
And the diagrams she left were also strange. Who knew where she got them from, just throwing them on the ground. Did she think Leticia was an omniscient god who could tell what something was just by looking at it?
Leticia was currently completely in the dark. She really wanted to catch Bai Ling and stomp on her, then viciously ask her why she took Mo Zili away and what those diagrams meant.
But Leticia also knew that as long as Bai Ling didn't want to be caught, Leticia would never catch her.
Unless she launched a sneak attack, otherwise catching Bai Ling was a pipe dream.
Anyway, this guy was still on her side for now, so she wouldn't worry about her. If she really encountered something she couldn't solve, that guy would definitely come find her for help.
Now, she should focus on handling her own affairs properly.
Mm, it seemed that originally she only had the Mo Zili disappearance case on hand?
Now knowing that Mo Zili's disappearance was Bai Ling's doing, all that remained was dealing with those matters in that manor.
First, those books definitely weren't taken by Bai Ling. If she had taken them, then Leticia should have a few more books in her hands right now.
But that monster might really be related to Bai Ling and the others. After all, the two people in black at that time gave Leticia some sense of déjà vu in terms of build.
It seemed like it was Bai Ling and Mo Zili.
It was just a glimpse, so Leticia couldn't be sure if it was really them, but this possibility was relatively high.
......
"Miss Elsa really is something, going in by herself..." Outside the magnificent palace, Little Ya sat alone on a street bench, looking up at the sky and sighing continuously.
Yes, Elsa Priestley had brought her outside the Demon King Palace and then just left our Little Ya here.
"I'll take her inside the palace. Little Ya, wait for me outside for a bit." That's what Elsa Priestley had said to Bai Ya before leaving.
And this wait lasted several hours.
There was no way to play on a phone to pass time in the Demon Realm. Bai Ya could only stare wide-eyed at the demon ladies standing guard outside the Demon King Palace.
Seemingly to maintain their image, those two guard ladies stood straight as boards, making Bai Ya worry they might get too tired.
The sun gradually approached the horizon. The Demon Realm's sun was similar to the human side—not the strange colors depicted in some novels.
The clouds at the horizon were dyed crimson. Against the sunlight, Bai Ya noticed a petite figure slowly walking along the main road.
"Sister Qianqian!" When that person got closer, Bai Ya joyfully discovered the newcomer was her beloved Sister Qianqian.
But why would Sister Qianqian come to the Demon King Palace? Did she also have something to report to the Demon King?
While Bai Ya's attention moved to Leticia, she completely failed to notice that the two ladies behind her stood even straighter, their expressions becoming resolute like the most beautiful security guards of the demon race.
"Why is Little Ya here?" Leticia was also surprised to see Bai Ya. She didn't remember today's schedule including having Little Ya come to the Demon King Palace.
And where was Elsa Priestley? Where did she go?
Wasn't she supposed to be watching Little Ya? Could she have been slacking off?
That girl wasn't that type of person.
How strange.
"The situation is like this..." Bai Ya quickly told Leticia everything she had encountered before.
After hearing Bai Ya's account, Leticia also took considerable effort to figure out the situation.
Divine Throne people were here to stop a huge conspiracy that might destroy the entire Demon Realm, but that person wasn't strong enough and couldn't beat the bad guys, so got beaten into critical condition?
Hiss, so weak.
Since she was so weak, she should have come to find Leticia from the beginning and honestly explained the situation. Leticia and Divine Throne had no grudges or grievances. As long as things were explained clearly, Leticia would definitely help.
After all, this was a matter concerning the Demon Realm's survival. No matter how much Leticia slacked off, she couldn't ignore these things.
Perhaps because of recent events, they harbored dissatisfaction toward her?
To be fair, that was peaceful competition. The one who imprisoned Yi Yujun was Bai Ling, not her, Leticia. And it made these people know that the Demon King was that Su Qianqian who followed Bai Ling around.
They just wanted to be the saviors themselves. As a result, they didn't have that ability and got their legs broken.
Sigh, now she had to handle these troublesome matters herself. Fortunately, this person knew to find help after failing. Otherwise, Leticia would probably only learn what she was dealing with when disaster struck.
"I see. I understand." Leticia nodded. "I need to enter the palace. Little Ya, do you want to come with me?"
Bai Ya quickly shook her head. She felt she wasn't ready to face the Demon King directly. "No, no. If the Demon King knows I, a human, am here, it would be very difficult for Sister Qianqian, right?"
Leticia smiled indifferently. Of course, it wouldn't be difficult for her. If there was anyone who could make things difficult for her, it would probably only be Bai Ling.
"It won't be. The Demon King is actually very friendly and doesn't dislike humans as much as rumored." Leticia tried her best to restore the Demon King's image in Bai Ya's mind. "Actually, the current Demon King has some connection with me."
Mm, just some connection.
Bai Ya struggled for a while but still shook her head. "No, no. The Demon King is still too scary. I don't want to meet her."
That Demon King named Leticia Infinoi was notorious in the Human World. Bai Ya had heard that countless human heroes had died at her hands.
According to rumors, the Demon King had a green face with fangs and was fifty feet tall. Her ugliness had reached the point where it could stop children from crying at night. Anyone who had seen her true appearance had gone to hell.
The latter half wasn't much different from reality, but the first half—uh, Leticia could only marvel at human imagination.
Those two descriptors weren't accurate at all. Green face with fangs—forget about it. Leticia's fair and clean little face was super adorable.
Fifty feet tall—Leticia also wanted to be fifty feet tall, but her genes wouldn't allow it. It was very frustrating.
"Um, the Demon King is actually quite a cute girl, not as scary as you think." Leticia said to Bai Ya, pointing to her own face. "She looks quite similar to me."
Little Ya still shook her head. "No, no."
Such a firm attitude made Leticia sigh helplessly. There was no other way then.
Poor Little Ya thus lost a chance to directly obtain the answer, and her vacation was almost over.
This time, Little Ya's failure seemed unavoidable.
"Alright then. Little Ya, wait a bit longer. I'll go and come back quickly." Leticia sighed. She also wanted Little Ya to win, but Little Ya wasn't cooperating, so there was nothing she could do.
Under the escort of two girls standing straight as pillars, Leticia walked into the magnificent Demon King Palace with somewhat bold steps.
Making Bai Ya feel like she was the master of this castle.
Could it be that Sister Qianqian was actually the Demon King?
Impossible, impossible. How could Sister Qianqian be a big villain like the Demon King? Probably, Sister Qianqian was something like a prince or princess.
After all, she had said herself that she had some connection with the Demon King. This connection, combined with context, Bai Ya automatically understood as blood relation.
Looking somewhat similar—wasn't that blood relation?
Shortly after Leticia went in, an unhappy-looking Elsa Priestley came out.
"Miss Elsa!" Bai Ya quickly waved at Elsa Priestley. "Did you see Sister Qianqian?"
Elsa Priestley had of course seen Leticia. She had been driven out by Leticia.
"Mm, she told me to take you home first." Elsa Priestley replied somewhat sulkily.
She had originally wanted to stay a bit longer, but then, sigh.
The moment Leticia arrived, she was kicked out, which made her quite unhappy.
