Chapter 184: Do You Like This?
Young prince lamb used to look like this, and Lin Lin observed the curly-haired boy with a curious expression.
His horns formed only a bent half-circle, and he was about the same height as Lin Lin, with a slight look of emptiness on his face, making it hard to see him as the same person as the tall, goofy guy he would become in the future.
"Hello?" Lin Lin started the conversation.
The boy looked up, his purple eyes reflecting her face. He clearly understood her, but he still did not respond.
"He… seems to be mute; anyway, I’ve never heard him speak," Bulwo said, patting Lin Lin’s shoulder to urge her to hurry back to Demon King Castle. "But it doesn’t matter; as long as he can work, that’s what counts."
It seems that one of your brothers will be a deaf-mute whale, Lin Lin looked at Bulwo with a complicated expression.
Mr. Orca, at this moment, didn’t care about the words that felt like bullets; Lin Lin felt nervous for him.
"Then let’s go," Lin Lin turned around.
Suddenly, Sapphire Dragon spoke, "Why is there a black wall around one of the windows at Demon King Castle?"
Lin Lin looked down and remained silent.
Lin Lin said, "Sir, you are mistaken."
Bulwo placed his hand over his brow and gazed carefully into the distance. "I am not mistaken."
–
Lin Lin found it hard to explain why the God of Darkness’s room had become so dilapidated.
But.
"I didn’t do it," Lin Lin insisted, "I only accidentally walked in."
"I have my doubts about your ‘accidental entry,’" Safir fully understood Lin Lin’s character. The Sapphire Dragon reached out his hand, and a half-broken black chess piece floated from the table into his palm.
Lin Lin quietly turned her head to avoid the teacher’s sharp gaze.
"Although this room is no longer useful, many things inside are very precious," Safir said, "Let’s clean this room tomorrow."
Lin Lin looked down deeply; this was a punishment that didn’t feel like a punishment.
Darn it, she originally planned to change the window before Safir and the others arrived, but even though the window was damaged, it was still firmly embedded in the wall. Several strong monsters couldn’t take it down.
Lin Lin sadly walked out of the room, while many monsters eagerly asked her why she was in a bad mood.
"I’m fine," Lin Lin deceived herself.
Darn it, after becoming the Demon King, she unconsciously started to put on a show. In comparison, how did that little lamb completely ignore shame?
Thinking this way, it made her feel that the biggest nemesis among Safir’s apprentices was that little lamb’s way of talking to itself.
Sigh… Tomorrow, she still had to clean the room. Compared to spells, Lin Lin was still more used to using a broom and mop.
As she walked up the spiral staircase step by step, Lin Lin suddenly felt like someone was watching her from the dark.
Although there are many secretive looks from the Demon King, this time… the peeking was too focused, and it felt like the gaze would turn into something real in the next moment.
Lin Lin turned around with a smile, but behind her was empty, with no one there.
Huh? Was it an illusion?
Lin Lin continued walking forward, quietly heading to the room where the broom and mop were kept.
As a subordinate of the Demon King, she had also taken turns on duty before, but Safir, being an officer, probably didn’t even know where that room was.
After walking in the corridor for a little while, Lin Lin suddenly looked back; the long hallway was still empty, and there was nothing there.
Lin Lin frowned.
She just opened her palm, and the magic wand appeared naturally in her hand, shining white particles that spread toward the end of the hallway.
Then, it gathered in one place.
Just as Lin Lin guessed, there was indeed someone following her closely.
A black figure slowly emerged in Lin Lin’s view, wrapped in white light.
The black robe covered the boy’s body, and his purple eyes looked a bit scared and a bit resentful as they stared at her.
"Small Coal Ball?" Lin Lin said with curiosity, and at the moment she spoke, the white light spread away from the boy.
Sure enough, after the white light disappeared, the boy seemed to let out a small sigh of relief.
He took two steps forward, and when he realized that the white light did not follow his movements, he cautiously walked a few more steps until he stood in front of Lin Lin.
"What are you doing?" Lin Lin said, confused.
The boy did not answer.
Lin Lin raised her magic wand, and the boy took a step back; when she put away the wand, he stepped forward again.
Oh, I’m afraid of this.
Lin Lin blinked, then realized that the Small Coal Ball before was probably just an ordinary magical creature, but now, after absorbing a lot of black mist, the Small Coal Ball had become a body of nearly pure dark power.
Even the adult Demon King would actively avoid light-type gems and Lin Lin’s magic.
Lin Lin completely hid her magic and exchanged glances with the little lamb; her beautiful face still showed little expression.
Lin Lin turned around and noticed the boy was still following her.
Forget it, I can’t guess what this guy is thinking at all.
But having someone follow you also has its advantages; at least there was an extra pair of hands to carry the mop and bucket.
When Lin Lin handed the bucket to the boy, he obediently took it.
…It’s too quiet, it really feels strange.
Lin Lin looked closely at the boy. Perhaps because he hadn’t fully grown, his eyes were not as deep-set as an adult’s, and his eyes shone with a clear purple color.
A brand-new little sheep.
Or rather, it was because he was so new, and his personality had not fully shown yet, that made Lin Lin realize he looked very beautiful if you only judged by appearance.
…very suitable for a Gothic-style little dress.
Lin Lin thought that the clothes the Demon King had bought for her would look great on him.
"Would you like to try on some other clothes?" Lin Lin asked.
He seemed to hesitate for a moment, then nodded.
Lin Lin and the little sheep moved the cleaning tools to the office to prepare for tomorrow’s cleaning, and then went to Lin Lin’s bedroom.
Lin Lin rummaged through the wardrobe and found a black dress with a lace collar at the very bottom.
The dress was pressed underneath everything, and there were a few small creases on the surface, but it was fine; a little pat with her hand made the creases less obvious.
Lin Lin held the dress in front of the little lamb and asked, "Do you like this?"
The purple eyes clearly brightened a little.
Oh, the taste doesn’t seem to have changed.
Lin Lin handed the dress to the little lamb so he could change, and she stepped outside to wait.
After waiting outside for a while, there was still no sound from inside, so Lin Lin knocked on the door.
The boy opened the door, looking a bit disheveled.
Lin Lin understood why this guy always wore the loosest and simplest robe; his long hair was all messy and curly, and the dress neckline was open, with the ties completely loose.
Some people are just born to be noble, Lin Lin thought quietly, and then went inside to help him arrange the neckline.
The two of them were about the same height. Although the boy had a strong build, his body fat percentage was lower than Lin Lin’s, making him look a bit leaner, and his clothes fit him very comfortably.
The boy quietly let Lin Lin arrange his outfit.
Lin Lin lowered her head and carefully adjusted the tie at his collar, tying it neatly.
The two stood very close, and that sweet smell filled Lin Lin’s nose again. Since she was used to it, it didn’t seem too sweet or overwhelming; it even brought a sense of familiarity.
The boy, the Demon King, had a gaze that couldn’t be hidden. Even if Lin Lin didn’t look at him, she could easily sense that he was staring at the mark on the side of her neck.
After all, it was a contract he had established in his adult form. Could he sense it? Or was he just curious?
Lin Lin pretended not to notice his gaze. After tying a beautiful bow around his neck, she pulled her hands back.
Lin Lin looked up, smiling, "It’s all ready."
Then, her smile paused on her face.
A cool touch appeared on the back of the neck.
At the moment their knuckles touched the contract, a subtle connection seemed to be activated, like a once-empty pool being refilled with a small stream of water.
A tiny warmth.
At this moment, Lin Lin finally felt that the person in front of her and the tall figure of Your Majesty the Demon King were truly the same person.
"…the contract," the young man suddenly spoke.
Lin Lin first nodded, then widened her eyes in surprise; he had never spoken before, and everyone thought he was mute.
So he just doesn’t like to talk!
And judging by the situation, he actually knows everything he learned during coalball time!
No wonder Lin Lin thought he might have amnesia, because his face really doesn’t look smart!
It feels like a foolish time when all memories from infancy disappear after evolution.
It makes one easily think of a beautiful but empty-headed face!
When Lin Lin realized the other person had not lost their memory, her face couldn’t help but turn red. The person in front of her was both her former boss and a pet she had cared for; now she was putting a skirt on him, as if she had some strange preference.
Although she really wanted to see what he looked like in a skirt, this time the experience was different from before. What if Your Majesty the Demon King remembered his memories from his youth?
Lin Lin’s mind was in a jumble when the boy spoke again, with a subtle tone.
If Lin Lin’s mind were clearer at that moment, she would notice the boy’s emotions becoming more vivid.
Just like a fawn can stand from birth, it takes time to learn to control its legs before it can run.
This contract is a catalyst that promotes the growth of his emotions, like a seed suddenly appearing in an empty box.
"Is he also a demon?" the boy asked.
It seems he cannot tell it is himself.
Lin Lin subtly released a sigh of relief and gently nodded.
The boy lowered his eyelashes, showing a thoughtful expression.
After a few seconds, he reached out and rested his hand on Lin Lin’s shoulder, bending down.
Because their heights were very close, just a slight bow of the head allowed their lips to touch each other’s necks.
Human women’s skin is much more fragile and soft compared to the demon race; even a light press from canine teeth can naturally leave a slight indent.
A cool breath brushed past her ear, and Lin Lin couldn’t help but shrug her shoulders. She felt a tiny pain in her neck and immediately pushed him away.
Lin Lin, someone who values her life, realized the danger in an instant. The power of light gathered at her fingertips and erupted as she pressed her hand against his face.
The black-haired boy staggered back two steps and when he looked up again, there were deep red marks on the side of his face like burns.
"I can’t get rid of it," the boy said as he touched the red marks on his face.
His face hurt a lot, and the heaviness in his chest was also new to him.
He realized that the other person was a demon who was stronger than him.
