Picked up a Demon King to be a Maid Chapter 306

Of course he didn't do that, because he was too afraid.

In Winterless City, the only people who could casually toss out that many gold coins were either nobles or extremely wealthy. Although he loved money, he would never snatch it in front of someone one, he was too afraid to.

“Miss, what's the meaning of this…”

The owner smiled at this strange customer while sweating, he felt like his head could drop at any moment.

That's because he saw the two beautiful swords hanging at the customer's waist.

It was really strange, why was he getting weird customers one after another? He just sent away a master-servant pair that didn't want to pay, and now comes a generous aristocrat…

The owner couldn't read this strange customer.

Was she a bad person? She didn't look it.

Black hair and black eyes, her long hair fluttering. She had exquisite features, the mole underneath her eyes also made her look more affectionate. She had two beautiful swords at her waist, one long and one short, and looked rather stylish.

But that wasn't what was the most eye-catching… her beautiful legs and the black stockings were extremely alluring. The owner unintentionally glanced at her legs and now he couldn't look away anymore. Along with her red high-heels, he's never seen such beautiful legs before.

How could a woman with such beautiful legs be a bad person? Furthermore, she was even smiling at him, he felt like his soul was being spirited away!

Having said that, perhaps the owner instinctively felt danger…

For some reason, it felt like this beauty was extremely angry, and there was a murderous aura hidden behind her smile!

She already placed her hand gently onto her sword, the owner didn't know how whether he offended her or not, but he knew that he would be decapitated if he said something wrong.

“Me? Nothing much, I just wanted to buy an ice-cream.”

“Hehe, what would you like? We're the best ice-cream store in Winterless City, we use the most high quality ingredients, it's sure to satisfy your tastes!”

“I already said, get me one of what the girl before me bought.”

“Ah? That's the luxurious five-colored sundae…”

“I don't want to repeat myself again.” The girl was still smiling, but it contained some killing intent, “I want the exact same thing she had, if there's anything different, heh, then you can just die here today.”

Gulp…

The owner nervously swallowed and almost pissed himself.

He didn't dare waste anymore time and quickly ran behind the counter to make the exact same thing he made earlier.

The owner didn't understand, but still desperately tried to recollect how he made the sundae from earlier. From its shape to even the placement of the fruits. He finally breathed out after he was sure there were no inconsistencies, then he carefully walked over and handed it over the terrifying beauty and feebly took one gold coin from the table.

“Customer, your sundae…”

“Thank you.”

The girl took the sundae but didn't rush to eat it, she just stared at it while quietly mumbling to herself.

The girl held the spoon and wanted to take a bit, then she suddenly remembered something as she put the spoon down and lowered her head to take a bite just like Elena. She kept it in her mouth as she savored the cold sweetness.

“Miss, when did you start liking ice-cream?”

There was a slightly husky voice and a girl with freckles appeared out of nowhere.

The owner was startles and thought he was seeing things. He never saw that girl before, where did she come from?

“Xiao Hua, how did you know I was here?”

ShenDai Ying wasn't surprised when she heard Xiao Hua's voice, she just continued tasting the ice-cream, but this time she used the spoon.

“Hehe, I'll be wherever you go, your will is my destination.”

“… Where did you learn those lines from, it's not cute at all.” ShenDai Ying glanced at her and continued speaking, “She said this was delicious, so I also wanted a taste… but regrettably, it's not good at all.”

ShenDai Ying smacked her lips and tried another spoonful, carefully savoring it. But it just wasn't that good, rather… it was a bit astringent.

Did the owner make it incorrectly?

When she thought of that, ShenDai Ying's killing intent abruptly seeped out, but Xiao Hua stopped her.

“Miss, the 'she' you mentioned earlier, was that referring to Lin Xiao's maid, Elena?”

“Un…” ShenDai Ying hesitated but still honestly responded with an awkward expression.

“I see. Miss, is it because when you eat this, it doesn't feel that sweet, but rather astringent with a hint of bitterness?”

“How did you know? Did you collude with the owner to play a trick on me?” ShenDai Ying thought the owner did something to it and squinted at him. The owner shivered as he scrambled back behind the counter, not daring to look at her anymore.

“Hehe, miss, you misunderstand, the person with the problem is yourself.”

“Me? What's wrong with me?”

“If your heart is filled with jealousy, then it's going to taste bitter no matter how sweet the ice-cream is, right?”

“Xiao Hua? You…”

When ShenDai Ying saw Xiao Hua's gaze, she realized that Xiao Hua was teasing her.

That's right, she was indeed jealous.

The reason she treated the owner like that and wanted the exact same sundae was out of jealousy. Why was Elena able to eat such a delicious sundae and laugh so happily, that wasn't fair, so she wanted to experience the same happiness.

But the difference was that she bought this sundae herself and the person next to her was Xiao Hua, and Elena's one was bought by Lin Xiao and the one next to her was also Lin Xiao…

“Sigh…”

ShenDai Ying sighed and concentrated on the matter at hand.

“Tell me Xiao Hua, what kind of mission is it this time?”

“Hm…” Xiao Hua awkwardly stroked her nose when she heard that.

ShenDai Ying realized that there was a new mission before she even mentioned it.

“Xiao Hua, I should have told the master that I'm injured right now and can't carry out assassinations, I still need some time to recuperate… why is he still assigning me missions?”

“No, miss… it's not an assassination this time.”

“It's not?”

“Un, it's a surveillance mission.”

“Who?”

“The siblings from Bamboo Academy, Yao Zi and Lin Tian.”

“Them?”

Xiao Hua thoughtfully explained for her when she noticed ShenDai Ying's confusion.

Although those siblings weren't anyone important… even if Yao Zi did possess the wizard's bloodline, she still wasn't awakened yet, and it's possible that she would never awaken, so they weren't a big problem, but the key was with the prophecy.

Shen Yue Ge got news that the pope had a prophecy of the end, and the only one who could save everyone was the chosen one. So the hero Greenton is currently traveling across the world, trying to find the person from the prophecy and there was evidence that showed that Yao Zi was first on his candidates list!

“The master said you just have to keep an eye on them and report their movements and situation immediately… especially Yao Zi, since she is the most likely to be the chosen one.”

“Surveillance, huh… it's not like I can go to their house and say I want to be their maid to watch them day and night, right?” It seems like she still hadn't digested all of her jealousy and was still thinking about a certain maid.

“Miss, you…” Xiao Hua helplessly shook her head then continued, “The alliance office issued a S rank mission, Yao Zi and Lin Tian already took it and is going to leave soon. Miss, you're also an investigator, so…”

“So you want me to team up with them and complete the mission together?”

ShenDai Ying answered before Xiao Hua and got an affirmative gaze in response.

Surveillance, not an assassination, with her identity of an investigator. There was no risk and the mission was simple, ShenDai Ying had no reason to refuse.

Having said that, she didn't really want to do it.

From what she knew, Lin Xiao also took the mission, she had originally planned to go with Lin Xiao but now she was forced to team up with someone else. Wouldn't that be just giving Elena the time and space to monopolize Lin Xiao?

It couldn't be helped, since there was a mission and she had no reason to decline, she could only agree.

“Then, be careful.”

“Sigh, Xiao Hua, um…”

Just when ShenDai Ying turned and wanted to chat with Xiao Hua, she already vanished.

“What are you running for? It's not like I'll take out my anger on you, really…”

Although she said that, if Xiao Hua never left, she probably would be used as a punching bag.

“Wha ta crappy sundae! Next time, I also want to force him to buy it for me…”

ShenDai Ying ate another spoonful and smacked her lips, the bitterness was too much so she just threw the entire sundae on the floor, casually tossed another two gold coins and left.

I just hope that this mission goes well…
