36: You're Worth My Trust
"What's this?" Looking at the even smaller white plastic box that Leticia had pulled out after opening the box, Bai Ling asked.
"This is good stuff. I wouldn't give it to others even if they asked me for it." Leticia proudly opened the small white box. "Ta-da! Demon King special edition contact lenses!"
In the white box floated a small transparent round glass disc. Bai Ling could clearly sense the magical aura flowing on this lens.
This seemed to be a magical artifact.
"I cast the highest level 'True Sight' on this, which can see through all disguise magic in the world." Leticia introduced it with confidence.
As the Demon King, Leticia could be said to be currently the most powerful mage in the world openly, a mighty being who could destroy a city with a single move.
The True Sight she cast indeed had the ability to see through all disguise magic.
"How do you put this on?" Bai Ling asked with some curiosity.
She had never seen this kind of little gadget before, so naturally didn't know how to use it.
"Let me help you." Leticia volunteered. "I'm really skilled at this!"
Saying this, she opened a certain search engine and rapidly typed in a string of characters: How to put on contact lenses.
Why had Leticia left this thing unused? That was naturally because she didn't know how to use this gadget.
After trying several times and nearly blinding herself, Leticia had given up on the plan to use this thing by herself.
Besides, she actually had no use for this thing. Anyone who dared to use such petty tricks in front of her was really asking for death.
When Leticia was the Demon King, her personality was truly terrible. Even now when she thought back, she would sigh repeatedly about how truly possessed she had been back then.
But the Demon Realm ate that up. Demon King Leticia could be said to be one of the more popular generations among past Demon Kings.
"First lie down, then open your eyes a bit wider." Leticia said to Bai Ling.
Bai Ling walked to Leticia's bedside and obediently lay down.
As for opening her eyes wider, her eyes were already quite large, so she didn't need to open them much wider.
Leticia walked over carrying the box. Seeing Bai Ling lying so obediently on her bed, her heart suddenly felt a bit itchy.
No no, she couldn't be tempted by beauty.
Leticia took a deep breath, steadied her somewhat trembling hands, and sat down by Bai Ling's head.
"Hurry up, Little Ya will get suspicious." Bai Ling urged.
"Don't worry, it'll just take a few seconds." Leticia said, lying through her teeth.
Picking up the small glass disc, Leticia carefully and slowly moved her finger toward Bai Ling's beautiful eyes.
Only at times like this did Leticia have the chance to seriously observe Bai Ling's eyes—those red pupils that could be called treasures of the world.
Bai Ling's eyes weren't ordinary red, but were like gems, giving a crystal-clear feeling. The red was neither deep nor light, complementing her perfect features perfectly.
"Calm down, calm down." Leticia encouraged herself in her mind.
"You're a bit nervous." Bai Ling noticed Leticia's abnormality.
"Don't talk."
"Oh."
Leticia slowly exhaled. She was afraid that if she wasn't careful, she might leave an irreparable scar on these beautiful eyes.
Perhaps she should let Xue'er do it? A thought popped up in Leticia's mind.
But she immediately dismissed this idea. This was a matter between her and Bai Ling—what would it mean to have Xue'er help?
She was the Demon King. Could a mere small glass disc really stump her?
That's right, it couldn't stump her.
Gritting her teeth, Leticia didn't care anymore and directly pressed her hand down.
"Phew, perfect." Having successfully put the contact lens on Bai Ling, Leticia raised her right hand to wipe her forehead.
She felt this was more challenging than the most difficult battle she had ever experienced.
"Is it done?" Bai Ling blinked her eyes. The foreign object sensation from her right eye made her somewhat uncomfortable.
"It's done. Weren't you afraid just now that I might slip and hurt your eye?"
"Not afraid." Bai Ling sat up and rubbed Leticia's head with her hand. "I believe in your confidence."
Leticia, who should have reacted violently to this gesture, now appeared incredibly docile. She lowered her head and asked in an almost inaudible voice, "What if my confidence isn't worth your trust?"
"At least right now, it's worth my trust." Bai Ling didn't answer Leticia's question. "Oh right, keep this book for now."
She took out the "Mythological Age Magic Studies" that she had just taken away this morning from her clothes.
"Eh?"
"Call it my intuition, but this book is safer with you than with me." Bai Ling explained. That Su Qi gave her a bad feeling. "To be able to use such powerful magic, Su Qi should be a demon."
"The timing of her appearance is too coincidental. I suspect she might be related to this book."
"But I'm also a demon."
"But I trust you." Bai Ling looked directly at Leticia and said without hesitation, "You're worth my trust."
