To get rid of any witnesses.

“But Sister Ying, you can't blame me! You took off your clothes and sat on me yourself, it's not like I was trying to do anything, though I did sneak a kiss… cough, also, it doesn't matter even if I know your secrets, it's not like I'll reveal them.”

“Hehe, is that so? But it's much easier to just get rid of you!” Shen DaiYing was still smiling like usual, but she gripped her sword more forcefully.

Lin Xiao had a feeling that if he even moved a bit, a b.l.o.o.d.y red line would be drawn across his neck.

Neither of them moved and the atmosphere became increasingly cold.

“But Sister Ying, will you though?”

Lin Xiao nonchalantly raised his hand.

Shen DaiYing watched with astonishment as he fearlessly used his fingers to pinch the razor-sharp blade and slowly pushed it away.

Seeing this bold act, Shen DaiYing was first stunned, then she slightly smiled and sheathed her sword.

“No, of course not.” Although Shen DaiYing was smiling, it was a bitter smile, “Lin Xiao, aren't you too confident, you're just that sure that I won't kill you?”

“Yes.” Lin Xiao nodded.

“Why? Just because you like me and saved me? So I'm not willing to kill you?”

“No. It's because I think that you also like me.” Lin Xiao seriously responded.

“Ha? I also like you? Puh… haha.” Shen DaiYing suddenly laughed out loud.

“Is that not the case? Sister Ying, there's not that many men that pa.s.sionately like you, right? We also have a good compatibility, I also know your secret and have seen your body. As a woman, isn't liking me normal?”

“Is that so? I don't feel it.” Shen DaiYing pouted in denial and pretended to think, but was secretly glancing at Lin Xiao's reactions.

“Sister Ying, you can't deny it even if you want to. Look, I'm the only one who'll willingly accept you after knowing about your secret, right?”

“Wu… I guess.” Shen DaiYing blinked and nodded her head.

“I'm the only one who continues to pursue after being rejected twice and knowing that you're engaged, right?”

“…” Shen DaiYing didn't responded this time, silently agreeing.

That seemed to be the case.

Other than this idiot, who else dared to continue to pursue her.

“Additionally, I'm the man who touched your legs, saw you naked and stole your first kiss, right? So, I'm sure that you also like me!”

“What did you say!? Puh… haha.“

Only Lin Xiao could say words so perverted and disgusting with such confidence.

But she indeed could not refute it.

This was the first time in her life that she's met a man like this. She's been led by the nose from the start and fell deeper and deeper before she realized it. Eventually becoming an injured dog that needs to rely on its master to survive, and wantonly being teased, saying that she likes him as well….

Hmph, he's just a pervert! What is he getting c.o.c.ky for?

Shen DaiYing couldn't accept his smug and confident expression!

So she counterattacked!

“Lin Xiao, you said that was my first kiss… hehe, do you think that really was?” Shen DaiYing said ambiguously while tracing her lips with the tip of her finger.

“Ah?”

“So that wasn't your first kiss? … So t-that means you kissed someone before?”

“Un, yes I did.”

“Really?”

“Of course. He was the eldest son of another clan, really handsome, not just kiss, we did everything and even almost got married!” Shen DaiYing gently stuck her fingertip between her lips and gently sucked like she was hinting at something!

“Ah? Okay… actually it doesn't matter, I-I don't care as long as you…”

He awkwardly scratched his head and didn't know what exactly to say.

What should he do? Or rather, what can he do?

Even if she really did those things with another man, he can only honestly accept her!

His love was true!

So even if that was the case, h-he didn't care at all!

“Hehe, Lin Xiao, you're too cute.”

Seeing his comical reactions, she couldn't help but laugh.

“Okay, okay, look at your expression, I was just tricking you! It was your fault for saying those things earlier.” Shen DaiYing tapped his head and smiled, “Don't be silly, what man would want me? I'm contemptible, bad, and coldblooded, it's already hard to enough to be like by an idiot like you, so I've only done those things with you, no one else, and there never will be anyone else… hehe, how about it, does that make you happy?”

“Yes! … Ah, no, no, that wasn't what I meant, cough…” When he looked up and saw her impish smile, Lin Xiao almost choked.

She was clearly teasing him, right!?

“So are you not going to seriously consider it?” Shen DaiYing continued teasing him. She squinted kneeled down and slowly crawled towards him, “Lin Xiao, take me, if you want, I can be your slave and satisfy all your desires… I'm being serious.”

“No!” Lin Xiao gulped and denied her.

“Hehe, why not? Could there be a problem down there?” Shen DaiYing looked down and stared at his crotch.

“Okay Sister Ying, I concede! It's my loss, okay? P-please stop teasing me!” Lin Xiao backed up in a fl.u.s.ter and raised his hands to surrender.

She was saying the same things as before, to hand over her body and become a slave, but he noticed that her tone was completely different.

Earlier, it was filled with grief and hopelessness, now it changed into a playful one.

No matter what the answer was, he was happy seeing her smile from the heart, so he didn't mind if she teased him.

“By the way… Sister Ying, let's rest a bit then quickly return. Charles can't escape immediately and the compet.i.tion is still ongoing, we'll be suspicious if we're away for too long.” Lin Xiao a.n.a.lyzed the situation and tried to changed the topic.

But he never expected his innocuous words to hit a landmine.

“You're right, we should get back, the sooner the better.” Shen DaiYing nodded, then it seemed like she suddenly thought of something and her expression became complicated, “You must be worried leaving her alone, right? Since you guys have such a good relations.h.i.+p.”

“Ah? Sister Ying, what are you talking about?”

“Her, your maid, Elena… did you forget?”

“Uh…”

The reason he wanted to return wasn't for that, but for the compet.i.tion. Only Caesar and Rosie were left, so it would be best if Lin Xiao could return with Shen DaiYing.

Even if she was injured, Lin Xiao could still fight with Caesar, and with the two of them, they could easily take first place.

But Lin Xiao almost forgot about Elena.

Perhaps to Shen DaiYing, his desire to return was out of worry for Elena.

Going to another woman right after confessing, even Lin Xiao found that behavior a bit repulsive.

“Sister Ying, you're mistaken, my relations.h.i.+p with Elena is not what you think it is, we're just…” Lin Xiao thought for a while but still couldn't find a suitable way to express it.

If he said he had no relation with her, that would be an outright lie, but if he had to clearly define what their relations.h.i.+p was, it wouldn't be easy.

They weren't master-servant, they weren't friends, nor enemies, and definitely not lovers, in short, an impossible to explain relations.h.i.+p.

He couldn't explain it, but someone was forcing him to!

“Just… what? Lin Xiao, isn't she your maid?”

“Yes and no. She…”

“Oh, since she's not your maid, then she's your girlfriend? Do you also like her?” Shen DaiYing keenly raised a crucial question.

“H-how is that possible?” Lin Xiao was driven up a wall then laughed to conceal his awkwardness, “I-I don't like her! And Sister Ying, that 'also' was unnecessary! I only like you!”

“Hehe, is that so? Then perhaps I was wrong, let's go.” Shen DaiYing raised her eyebrow, ending the topic and weakly raised her arms waiting for him to help her up.

But Lin Xiao didn't move.

“What's wrong?”

“Sister Ying, why don't we not go?”

“Not go?”

“Right, let's just stay here.”

Lin Xiao sat back down next to her and they leaned against a tree, enjoying the sun.

“Sister Ying, you haven't recovered yet so it's not convenient for you to move around or fight. We might as well just wait until the compet.i.tion is over and get the teachers to carry you back!”

“Ah…”

Looking at his insincere smile, Shen DaiYing naturally knew what he was thinking, but she didn't point it out.

He, probably wants to prove something to her.

“But, if we stay here, what should we do if we meet an enemy?”

“No problem, I'm strong, so you don't have to worry.”

“Un, right.”

Indeed, Lin Xiao was strong, although she didn't know why he was that strong, but he could easily beat Devoru and save her, so it was more than enough to protect them.

But was he really willing to stay with her?
