"Mm, Sister Qianqian, I feel like you've been frowning all day today. Did something happen?" At the dinner table, Bai Ya looked at the troubled Leticia and asked with some concern.
"It's nothing. I basically have leads on everything. These troublesome matters can be resolved soon." Leticia took a sip of her drink, indicating that everything was under control.
She had so many people here, while the other side had only one person. Even if that person was very capable, could she be more capable than Leticia? Even if she was as capable as Leticia, Leticia could still call for backup.
If push came to shove, she'd call Bai Ling over, and everyone could gang up on that guy together. Everyone understood the principle that two fists couldn't fight four hands.
Leticia didn't believe that guy was more powerful than the previous Fog God. That Fog God was a real god, and under the combined efforts of herself and Bai Ling, she still couldn't directly resolve them in a short time.
Now facing a human who merely possessed divine power, there was no way they could lose!
Two against one, and it was the two most powerful people in the world ganging up on one—how could this possibly lose?
If they could lose this, Leticia might as well marry Bai Ling and never manage these affairs again.
"How about Sister Qianqian asks sister for help? Sister would definitely help Sister Qianqian." Little Ya quietly suggested.
Help? It would be good if that person didn't cause more trouble.
Thinking of this made Leticia somewhat angry. Things were fine originally, but the moment Bai Ling got involved, bad things immediately happened.
"I won't ask her for help. If she wants to help me, she should come rolling to my presence herself. Want me to go find her? Impossible!" Leticia slammed the table and righteously expressed her opinion.
Qila immediately cast a murderous glare. Had sister completely forgotten that this was dinner time?
This glare made Leticia shiver and react. She immediately retracted her hand and sat properly in her chair. "Cough cough, got too excited, too excited. Let's continue eating."
Seeing Leticia's appearance like a wronged little wife, Bai Ya burst out laughing. "Hahaha."
"Wah, even Little Ya is bullying me. Life is impossible now." Leticia said unclearly while shoveling rice into her mouth. "Wuwu, I'm going to run away from home and never come back."
But her performance really lacked persuasiveness. Even Qila, who was once bitten by a snake and feared well ropes for ten years, didn't think Leticia was serious this time.
If Leticia really wanted to run away from home, she would have left long ago. Would she announce to Qila so boldly that she was going to slip away?
If Leticia was really that trashy, Qila felt she'd have to consider customizing a thought correction course for her dear sister.
Ah, you mentioned breaking off the relationship?
Hmph, Qila would never break off her relationship with Leticia. Sister was sister. No matter how bad sister was, she was still Qila's favorite sister.
"Then this time sister should remember to pick a more hidden place to hide. Don't let me find you a second time." Qila said half-jokingly. "If I catch you a second time, I'll definitely break sister's legs and lock you at home so you can't move a step."
Saying such scary words with such a cute expression and tone—from some perspective, Qila really had the potential for going dark.
And if Qila went dark, she would definitely be quite a terrifying existence. Just from her current performance, her dark potential was definitely top-tier.
"Mm?!" Leticia was also startled by Qila's words. It wasn't that she was worried Qila would really do these things—after all, with Qila's strength, the possibility of breaking Leticia's legs was basically zero.
The only person who could break Leticia's legs was Bai Ling!
As for gods, they weren't people. Thanks.
To put it bluntly, Leticia could stand still and let Qila hit her for a whole year, and Qila still couldn't break her legs.
Leticia was surprised only because she hadn't expected her sister to have dark potential.
"Little Qi, don't say such things!" Bai Ya also quickly spoke up.
She didn't know the twists and turns involved. In her view, Qila's thinking was too dangerous.
How could a sister break her sister's legs? If Qila really broke Sister Qianqian's legs, then wouldn't her sister have to come to the Demon Realm if she wanted to see Sister Qianqian in the future?
It wasn't that Bai Ya discriminated against the Demon Realm. It was mainly that sister was human, and a human who had fought demons on battlefields before. Making frequent trips to the Demon Realm every ten days or half a month didn't seem quite appropriate.
So it would be better if sister came to the Demon Realm once and Sister Qianqian went to the Human World once. Taking turns like this would be very appropriate.
Mm, it had to be admitted that in some matters, the little girl indeed had thought processes that ordinary people couldn't understand.
But Leticia didn't know what Bai Ya was thinking. She only knew that Little Ya was on her side now—she had an ally.
"Little Ya, you deal with Qila!"
"Sister, finding help is useless." Qila smiled, but didn't make any other moves. After all, she was just talking tough. These days Leticia had been quite well-behaved, and Qila was generally satisfied with sister's performance.
"Although I feel Little Qi is joking, it still sounds a bit scary." Bai Ya scratched her face and said quietly. "Speaking of which, does Little Qi have someone she likes?"
This question made Qila tilt her head. Someone she likes?
Does sister count?
"Mm, sister."
"I don't mean Sister Qianqian. I mean the kind of liking between lovers." Bai Ya quickly added.
Oh, that kind. No.
Qila was very busy, really busy. Too busy to have time or energy for romance.
"No. If sister could help me share some of the pressure, I might think about finding someone I like." Qila replied. She wasn't the type of girl who valued emotions highly. To her, someone pleasing to the eye with aligned interests would be a good partner.
As for gender... Qila did have a small requirement in this regard. She really was like sister, preferring fragrant, soft girls.
Even if she found a human girl as a partner, she would absolutely never consider males.
"Qila, you're at the age for romance too. Sister is your strongest backing. Go pursue any girl you like. If that doesn't work, forcing yourself on people is also an option." Leticia started giving bad advice.
"Sister, I don't want to gain a reputation for forcing myself on people. Free love, you don't need to worry about these things." Qila indicated that she could handle emotional problems herself—Leticia didn't need to overthink it.
......
"I say, why are we hiding in this place?" Late at night, a team of demon soldiers hid in low grass, trying their best to conceal their presence.
Their camouflage was very good. If you didn't look carefully, you might really mistake them for ordinary roadside weeds.
"This is Her Majesty the Demon King's order. You should talk less." One of the demon soldiers said quietly. They didn't need to know why Leticia gave orders—they just needed to know these orders must be executed.
"I know this is Her Majesty's order, but I'm just curious." The first person to speak defended himself quietly.
He had only recently joined this team and had quite a difference from the other veterans in the team. The most important difference was that his trust in Leticia wasn't as blind.
For example, at this moment, he would think about why Leticia gave such orders.
Whether this was a good thing was debatable, but clearly he was now an outlier in the team, and his teammates had no way to do ideological work for him at this time.
"You don't understand how great Her Majesty is. Although she doesn't often direct us, every one of our actions concerns the fate of the demon race. We are Her Majesty's weapons, and weapons don't need to ask why." A squad leader-like person patted that soldier's shoulder. "Being able to join this team shows your talent is quite good. Work hard, and you'll definitely distinguish yourself in the future."
"Oh." That soldier nodded, then rubbed his eyes. "Captain, is there a figure over there?"
Hearing his words, the soldiers crouching in the grass immediately became alert.
They looked in the direction of that soldier's gaze and saw a middle-aged woman with somewhat torn clothes limping toward them.
That woman held a pure black staff in her hand, with unsettling black energy swirling around it.
This type of person would be absolutely suspicious even walking on the street in broad daylight, let alone appearing in such a place at night.
It was like having the four words "I am suspicious" carved on her body.
"It's her." The squad leader also almost instantly confirmed this was their target for this operation. "Send someone to report the news. We'll delay time here!"
"Yes!"
......
"Cough cough, that guy, what a pity she still escaped." The woman dragged her weary body, step by step toward the house in front of her.
That was the residence of one of her 'friends.' They had the same goal and had maintained close contact over the years.
Coming to the Demon Realm this time was that friend's suggestion. Even the location of that church was told to her by that person.
However, that friend hadn't told her she would encounter a Divine Throne Divine Envoy there. Without the help of the god residing in this staff, she might have been crushed to death in that church by that Divine Envoy.
Even after obtaining divine power and catching the Divine Envoy off guard to successfully reverse the situation, the woman still couldn't prevent the Divine Envoy's escape.
She won, but not completely. Although she had obtained the most crucial part of the plan, the escaped Divine Envoy was ultimately an uncertain factor.
If she told the demons about her purpose, her situation would become very dangerous.
This was why she returned here under cover of night. The second crucial part was here. As long as she could hold both Mo Zili and the staff in her hands, the plan would be more than half successful.
Knock knock knock, knock knock, knock knock knock. Rhythmically knocking on the door, the woman anxiously waited for that friend to open the door for her.
This was the code they had agreed upon. This knocking pattern meant things had reached a critical juncture.
By logic, after hearing this knocking, that person should immediately come to open the door for the woman. But the woman waited for quite a while, and there was still no movement inside.
What was going on? Had something happened?
This was the woman's first thought.
So she increased her force and continued knocking, but there was still no response.
There wasn't even a bit of light in the house, as if no one lived there anymore.
She couldn't stand it anymore. She reached out and touched the door lock. With a crisp crack, the lock was destroyed without any resistance.
Pushing open the door and entering the house, she frowned almost instantly.
There really were no traces of human presence. There was absolutely no one here.
Whoosh... A gust of wind blew.
The woman's pupils suddenly contracted. She immediately rolled to the side. Just as she reacted, a dull black dagger emerged from the shadows, aimed directly at the woman's throat.
A trap! This was a trap!
Awkwardly dodging the attack, the woman's mood had become terrible. She knew she had entered a trap specifically set for her.
She hadn't expected that Divine Throne person to move so quickly, and the demons' reaction to be so fast too.
Did they not doubt at all that the Divine Throne person was deceiving them?
With her current physical condition, direct confrontation with the demons was impossible. Even with divine help, she could easily defeat a human who also possessed divine power, but when facing an army that was both strong and extremely numerous, she still only had the option of running away.
The assassin hiding in the shadows, seeing her strike miss, immediately launched a pursuit. In the pitch-black room, dressed in night clothes with perfectly concealed presence, she was undoubtedly an extremely dangerous hunter.
"Bind!" But sometimes, good technique didn't necessarily mean victory.
For example, when facing divine power.
Entangled by black tentacles that suddenly emerged from the ground, the assassin struggled desperately but could only watch helplessly as that woman ran toward the door.
These things were too troublesome—even her dagger couldn't cut through them in a short time.
What a pity she couldn't keep her here and monopolize this achievement.
The assassin didn't think this woman could escape. Outside the house, elite warriors from the Demon King Court had already formed an inescapable net, with even a Heavenly King leading the defense.
After discovering this woman had come here, reinforcements would arrive quickly. In the end, this woman might face the luxurious lineup of the Four Heavenly Kings plus the Demon King.
If that really happened, this woman could indeed sing "Cool Cool."
Fortunately, her time going in and out wasn't long. Currently, the ambush around the house was still limited, and even that Heavenly King was still on the way.
