38: Sister's Thoughts
"This artifact is really exquisite." Holding the contact lens she had removed from Bai Ling's eye, Su Qi's eyes shone with curiosity.
She was quite familiar with the magical fluctuations on this lens—wasn't this the magical aura of their demon race?
Could it be that this Miss Bai Ling also knew other demons?
"Borrowed from a friend." Bai Ling didn't intend to sell out Leticia either. "I'll have to return it to her later."
"Is it Sister Qianqian? So she has this kind of thing too." Bai Ling hadn't betrayed Leticia, but Bai Ya, who knew nothing, had no such awareness.
"Sister Qianqian? I keep hearing Little Ya mention this name. Is she also Little Ya's good friend?" Su Qi became even more curious.
"Yes yes, Sister Qianqian is not only my good friend, but also Sister's good friend. Right, sister?"
Bai Ling desperately winked at Bai Ya. Now was not the time to arouse Su Qi's curiosity about Leticia.
If Su Qi proposed to meet Leticia, wouldn't that be explosive?
Leticia claimed to have run away, but based on the intelligence Bai Ling knew, Demon King Leticia had actually been forced into abdication by her sister in alliance with the Four Heavenly Kings.
The relationship between these two sisters probably wouldn't be good.
If their relationship was actually good... wouldn't that be even worse?
If Su Qi acted cute, and Leticia rekindled her fighting spirit to return to the Demon Realm and continue opposing the human race—wouldn't that be even more terrible?
The current Leticia was so safe. That Demon King Leticia should stay swept into history's trash heap.
"Sister, you don't need to be shy. It's not like you and Sister Qianqian have any improper relationship..." Bai Ya said cheerfully.
After all, your relationship is basically all out in the open, isn't it?
As for the looks her sister was giving her, Bai Ya automatically interpreted them as the shyness of an innocent girl.
Bai Ling—a completely, genuinely innocent girl—being shy when her sister introduced her lover to her friend was perfectly normal.
"Cough cough, children shouldn't think about such things randomly." Bai Ling reached out and very gently tapped her sister's little head. "Time to eat."
"Okay okay, I know." Bai Ya stuck out her tongue. If you don't want to talk about it, then don't. Why is Sister being so shy?
This kind of thing would have to be known by others sooner or later. You couldn't really hide it from everyone for a lifetime, could you?
The Bai sisters' performance made Su Qi's curiosity grow even stronger. It sounded like there was some wonderful relationship between this Miss Bai Ling and that Sister Qianqian?
"Are they lovers?" the little girl asked quietly.
"Yes!"
"No!"
Bai Ya and Bai Ling spoke simultaneously, but their answers were completely different.
"Little Ya, if I catch you looking at those weird things again, don't blame sister for asking your Sister Qianqian for advice on how to educate a younger sister." Bai Ling said to her sister with a head full of black lines. This damn girl was really getting more and more improper.
Was her relationship with Leticia romantic?
She was just monitoring Leticia and giving her something to do so she wouldn't cause trouble out of boredom.
There were absolutely no other emotions mixed into this.
"Tch, if you won't say it, then don't." Bai Ya pouted, looking unhappy. "We'll talk about it in the room later."
"Little Ya!" Hearing her sister's muttering, Bai Ling wondered if her discipline of Bai Ya had been too lax.
"Little Ya and Sister Bai Ling's relationship is really good." Su Qi, who was watching the show, sighed sincerely. "If only my sister could be as gentle as Sister Bai Ling."
"Little Qi, don't praise her. How could she possibly be associated with gentleness?" Bai Ya said very indignantly.
Could this even count as gentle? She wasn't gentle at all.
Su Qi had an expression that said "you don't understand." A sister like Bai Ling was already the type she dreamed of.
Beautiful, great personality, and protective of her sister—you couldn't find such a perfect sister even with a lantern.
Thinking of her own sister, Su Qi immediately felt an urge to cry out loud.
Her former sister always had a cold face, and the thing she said most often was, "You are my sister, you are a Princess of the demon race, you cannot do these things."
Back then, her sister was more like Su Qi's mother than a sister.
But Su Qi understood her sister. At that time, her sister could only suppress her emotions deep in her heart. To protect her, Sister had to do that.
But later, Sister changed and became decadent.
The ruler of the demon race disappeared, replaced by a waste that even Su Qi couldn't bear to watch.
This Sister no longer had her former ruthlessness; she had become gentle, but Su Qi didn't want this kind of gentleness.
She preferred that cold, ruthless Sister to come back.
She had tried, but Sister had made a choice that disappointed her completely.
Sister had run away, taking her most trusted attendant and slinking away.
"If I can find my sister, I'll definitely drag her over to see Sister Bai Ling and show her what a real sister should be like." Su Qi clenched her fists, her tone determined.
