25: Submission
"It looks like you have something to deal with, so I won't disturb you." Yawning, Leticia said to Bai Ling, who had just hung up the phone.
Since it had nothing to do with her, she might as well go back to sleep.
"Tonight, do you have time?" However, Bai Ling didn't intend to let Leticia leave.
Leticia had just stood up halfway when she heard Bai Ling's words and nearly lost her balance.
What did Bai Ling mean by that?
Wasn't she supposed to go teach her junior a lesson tonight?
Could it be... "Are you serious?"
"She didn't say I couldn't bring help." Bai Ling nodded.
"I'm the Demon King, understand?"
You, a human Sword Saint, are inviting me, the Demon King, to help you educate your junior?
Isn't something wrong here?
"You can use a different identity, just like how I'm not going as the Sword Saint." Bai Ling indicated this wasn't a problem.
But this was obviously a big problem.
"No way. I still have to play games tonight. Go outside with you to blow in the cold wind? I'm not an idiot!" Leticia firmly refused.
Bai Ling tapped her chin with her finger. "Hmm, how about I treat you to dinner?"
"Don't think you can buy me off with that kind of method!"
"Plus I'll help you spend money on your game."
"Heh heh."
"The Guild Leader mentioned that mobile game you play is about to release a new limited character, and the drop rate is quite low this time." Bai Ling looked at Leticia expressionlessly. "I'll help you get a full setup."
"You..." Leticia admitted she was a bit tempted.
Xue'er controlled Leticia's game spending quite strictly. The money she could invest in games each month didn't even amount to a single pull.
This meant that most of the time, Leticia could only drool over those little sisters who hit her XP.
The Guild Leader could only manage one of her games, and Leticia still had some pride, so she only rarely asked the Guild Leader to help her spend money.
"I saw that character's promotional art—white stockings, JK uniform, explosive stats, gentle personality, beautiful voice, perfect figure." Bai Ling gradually eroded Leticia's psychological defenses step by step. "If you miss her, you might have to wait a year for a rerun."
"Why are you so familiar with this stuff!" Leticia demanded loudly.
"I did some research." Bai Ling guiltily looked away.
Actually, this whole script was personally taught to Bai Ling by the Guild Leader.
"That's a character they've been building up for nearly three versions, don't you really want her?"
"I... saved up resources."
"But the Guild Leader said you sank on the last banner, so you probably don't have many resources left now." Bai Ling noticed Leticia's wavering and added fuel to the fire.
"You... I... just this once, never again." For the sake of her 2D waifu, Leticia lowered her noble head.
She really loved that character too much, but the last shipwreck made her lose some trust in her own luck.
If she sank again this time, she wouldn't have extra funds to whale for it.
"By the way, so you like that type of girl?" Bai Ling nodded with satisfaction. As expected, the Guild Leader and her sister's methods were quite effective.
As long as you grasped Leticia's weakness, a gentle push would make this girl completely obedient.
"What's wrong with that?" Leticia, having already agreed to Bai Ling's request, asked in frustration.
"Then do you like me?" Bai Ling pointed to herself. "White stockings, JK uniform, good figure, gentle personality, beautiful voice, and very rich."
"You old hag, get lost!" Leticia raised her slender middle finger at Bai Ling.
Where does a woman in her twenties get the nerve to call herself a JK!
"You can touch them if you want, I won't mind." Bai Ling decisively ignored Leticia's retort, then pointed to her legs and said to Leticia.
"What kind of person do you think I am!" Leticia crossed her arms and angrily demanded. Was she that kind of girl!
Those legs... damn it, she really wanted to touch them.
No no, she couldn't do this. She was the Demon King; she couldn't let this bastard bewitch her.
"Really don't want to?" Bai Ling moved a little closer.
That faint fragrance became even more obvious. Leticia actually felt like she couldn't control her own body.
She wanted to throw herself into Bai Ling's arms, desperately inhaling that intoxicating scent. She wanted to feel this girl's warmth, she wanted...
No, she didn't want to, she couldn't think like this.
Leticia didn't know what was wrong with her; she only knew that she definitely wasn't normal right now.
"I'm leaving first." She wanted to escape. As long as she got away from here, she could return to normal.
But Bai Ling stopped her.
"I know you want to, so why are you running away?" Bai Ling grabbed Leticia's hand and pulled her into her arms.
"Let me go." Leticia felt like her heart was about to jump out. The sudden intimate contact made her brain become chaotic.
Being held by Bai Ling felt inexplicably comfortable.
"But your body doesn't seem to want that." Bai Ling didn't let go; instead, she held on even tighter.
"Let go!"
