5: When You Take Their Food, You Owe Them
"Sister, Sister Qianqian, don't be so confrontational!" Seeing that the two girls were about to start fighting in the room, Bai Ya quickly ran between them to separate them.
Thanks to Leticia's interruption, the relationship between Bai Ya and Bai Ling had imperceptibly become somewhat more normal.
At least now Bai Ya wasn't as restrained as before, and she could speak properly in front of Bai Ling.
"You three, why don't you come out for dinner? If you have anything to discuss, you can talk about it at the dining table too." Xue'er poked her head in from outside the door, followed by the appetizing aroma of food.
Grumble~
A very soft sound rang out, and Leticia's gaze drifted to Bai Ling's poker face that was slightly flushed red.
That sound just now—was it from her?
"Sister, are you hungry?" Bai Ya also heard the stomach rumbling. She was certain the sound didn't come from herself or Sister Qianqian.
As for the reason... just look at the empty chip bags already in the room.
No one at Leticia's place stopped her from eating snacks before dinner.
So the source of the sound was obvious—who else could it be but their invincible Sword Saint?
It couldn't possibly have been Xue'er, right?
"The person is quite annoying, but the stomach sounds are pretty cute." Leticia chuckled. "Come on, let's go eat."
Bai Ling stood in place, her crimson cheeks comparable to a ripe apple. She placed her hand on her flat stomach, her voice barely audible: "It wasn't me."
This Sword Saint really wasn't good at lying.
A few minutes later, the three sat down. Xue'er placed chilled drinks beside Leticia and Bai Ya, then asked Bai Ling: "What kind of drink would Miss Bai Ling like?"
"Drink?" Bai Ling fell into confusion. What did drink mean?
"It's something to drink." Leticia opened her favorite cola and gulped down a mouthful. "Ah, refreshing."
"These things... are harmful to health." Bai Ling said flatly. So this was what drinks were?
"Times have changed, Miss Bai." Leticia shook her head. "You can't live in this world with such old-fashioned ideas."
"Mm-hmm." Bai Ya on the side sipped her orange juice and nodded in agreement.
Her sister gave her the feeling of being like a wooden person, completely lifeless, which made Bai Ya very worried about her sister's future life.
Speaking of the future... "Sister, how long can you stay home this time?"
Last time, Bai Ling stayed home for a month. Would it be a month this time too?
"I..."
"She got fired, so now Miss Bai is a legitimate unemployed person." Before Bai Ling could speak, Leticia said this in a very punchable way.
"Eh? Sister, you're not leaving this time?" Bai Ya was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.
Seeing her sister's delighted expression, Bai Ling slowly loosened the fist she had clenched and was ready to smash into Leticia's head. She nodded. "Yes, this rest period will be very, very long."
If the world could remain peaceful and stable like this, then perhaps she would never have the chance to emerge again.
"That's wonderful!" Bai Ya shouted happily.
"I don't think it's that great..." Leticia reached for a fried chicken leg and muttered.
If this guy wasn't leaving, didn't that mean she'd have to be neighbors with her?
The flame of passion that had just reignited was immediately extinguished. After calming down, Leticia thought carefully and realized that even if this guy retired, she still had no chance of conquering the human world.
After all, this guy had only retired, not died. When Leticia planned to make a comeback, who knew if this person would also make a comeback.
As long as she was still alive, Leticia didn't have even the slightest chance.
"Oh right, tomorrow is Saturday. Sister, let's go buy clothes together. All your clothes at home are very old." Bai Ya said excitedly.
"Ah... okay." Bai Ling, who was shoveling rice into her mouth, nodded blankly.
This Sword Saint's eating style was quite bold, forming an extremely sharp contrast with her somewhat elegant appearance.
In the time it took Leticia to finish one chicken leg, she had already finished a large bowl of rice—and that was plain rice, without any dishes.
"You don't eat vegetables?" After seeing Bai Ling hand her bowl to Xue'er and indicate she wanted another bowl, Leticia spoke up.
"You eat them, I'll just eat rice."
"I give up." Leticia covered her face with her hand. She discovered this Sword Saint was even less adapted to human society than she, a Demon King, was. "Little Ya, serve your sister some vegetables. Xue'er, serve less rice."
"No need..."
"Shut up. If you're mooching food at my place, behave yourself, understand?"
Bai Ling, who had taken their food and owed them, lowered her head. "Oh."
Such an obedient Bai Ling greatly improved Leticia's mood, and for a moment, she found this Sword Saint much more pleasing to the eye.
If only the Sword Saint on the battlefield back then had been this obedient, how wonderful that would have been.
