Picked up a Demon King to be a Maid

Chapter 557: I’m Not Your Sister-in-Law!

A rainy night, a girl selling candy, the indifferent pedestrians, and that cold hard candy

Even though he didnt have the details, but Lin Xiao already came up with a sad backstory.

Was that little girls mother really already dead?

Then where did her father go?

Was the little girl able to sell the candy for food? Or did she starve in the cold winter night?

Xiao Hua may have denied Lin Xiaos question that it wasnt about herself, but how could Lin Xiao believe her?

Erasing her sense of existence, melding into the background, Xiao Hua spoke as if it was easy to do, but was it actually that simple?

Perhaps not.

Xiao Huas seriousness and emotions from when she was selling the candy wasnt just acting!

If one truly wanted to blend in with the background and erase their sense of existence, they cant make any mistakes, otherwise, they wont be able to blend in and would stand out instead.

A garbage can on the side of the road has no sense of existence, but if someone wore a garbage can over their head and pretended to be one, they would completely stand out!

So Lin Xiao didnt believe it when Xiao Hua said it wasnt her personal experience but just acting.

Because if she never personally sold candy

If she never personally watched her mother fall ill

If she never personally yearned to survive when starving

How would she be able to smile like that when Elena picked up those candies?

Hey Xiao Hua, were you able to sell the candies at that time?

So what if I did? You want to laugh at me?

Of course not, I just care about you.

I dont need you to care about me.

Well, you didnt starve and survived all this time, so isnt that good?

Saying something like that I dont know if I should call you disrespectful or stupid.

Neither, you should praise me.

I already said, my parents died when I was young, it was the miss that fed me and saved me.

So you did sell candy.

You can think whatever you like.

When you were starving, sister Ying saw through your lies and bought all your candy. In order to thank her, you became her servant, was it like that?

No, she never bought the candy I made, she just ate a piece and then spat it onto my face because it was so disgusting.

Hah? Really? Shes so well-mannered, why would she spit it onto your face just because it tastes bad?

Because I accidentally used hot sauce instead of ketchup and mixed it into the candy.

Ha ha its a blessing she didnt hit you.

Yes, the Miss is the best person in the world.

Xiao Hua couldnt help but smile when she thought of her, but when she turned and saw the pervert who stole her heart away, she wasnt happy anymore.

So, I answered your questions and you tore open my old wounds, are you finally satisfied?

Xiao Hua, why are you always so hostile towards me, I wanted to ask these things just to tell you something.

What

Xiao Hua frowned and was clearly getting annoyed as she continued to run ahead. But when Lin Xiao said that, she suddenly stopped moving

Xiao Hua, I wanted to say that when I marry her and you have nowhere else to go, you can come to me.

Go to you? Xiao Hua stopped and tilted her head in confusion.

Although I cant make delicious candies like your mother, I can make sure youre never hungry.

Uh just that?

Yes, just that what, are you unsatisfied?

I feel like youre taking in an orphan that no one wants.

No, I dont see you as that, how should I put it hm, more like a little sister?

Lin Xiao also stopped and scratched his head.

You should know I also have a little sister.

Saintess Snow sure is unlucky to have a brother like you.

Stop roasting me I just think you two are very similar, but she met me and you met ShenDai Ying.

So I was more lucky than Snow. Xiao Hua didnt give up any opportunity to roast Lin Xiao.

Perhaps youre obedient, earnest, kind, and smart, in that sense youre better than Snow, but theres one place you cant compare to her.

I dont have as much power and influence?

No, you dont know how to act spoiled. She can take off her Saintess clothes and yell at me, get angry, and act spoiled with her brother without holding back, but you cant, youre afraid of acting spoiled with ShenDai Ying.

Hm acting spoiled is it.

Yes, ShenDai Ying was extremely important to her, she was like her sister and also her mother, but unfortunately, because of her identity and duties, she never dared to act spoiled towards her.

But you dont have to worry about those things with me! Lin Xiao smiled as he finally got to his point, Since your Miss will marry me anyways, from now on you can treat me like your brother, or even your brother-in-law!

Hah??? Brother-in-law!?

Xiao Hua almost choked when she heard that.

Yes, you can treat me like your brother-in-law, you can tell me anything, and of course, you can act spoiled as well!

Disgusting! W-who would want to act spoiled to you!

Hehe, my sister-in-law is so cute I know youve suffered a lot, so youre scared of opening up, but dont worry, Im your brother-in-law, you can trust me!

Hello? Is this the guards? Yes, Id like to report a crime, theres a shameless pervert here, and that thick skin fell and almost killed someone! Please arrest him!

Dont be so embarrassed, Im your brother-in-law!

Peh! The miss still hasnt said shell marry you, how are you my brother-in-law?

She isnt my wife yet, but she will be, so you can

Shh! Quiet theyre coming again!

Hm?

Lin Xiao heard Elenas warning and noticed that the next wave of enemies was approaching, and once again Xiao Hua spread out her candies and lowered their sense of existence to evade their search.

But this time she didnt talk about her own story and just squatted there and didnt say anything.

Just like that, the enemies ran up and looked around but completely ignored Lin Xiao and Elena and left.

Elena poked Lin Xiaos arm and covered her mouth while speaking to him.

Pervert, it seems like youve gotten better at picking up girls.

Uh, who did I try and pick up?

Who else her. Elena rolled her eyes and looked at the girl selling candies, Youve flirted with rich girls, someone elses wife, idiotic sisters, princesses, and now youre getting tired and moving onto sister-in-law what brother-in-law, you really are a pervert!

Hey wait, I dont know how brother-in-law is perverted but when have I even flirted with that many people?

Think about it!

Hm, that does seem like the case but how is that flirting? Its just making friends!

Lin Xiao could match a person with everyone that Elena mentioned and other than someone elses wife, he never flirted with any of them and just thought of them as good friends. But if the other party didnt treat him as just a friend or held other feelings for him cough, cough, then that wasnt his problem, sometimes being too handsome is a burden.

Also Elena, based on what you said, youre forgetting someone.

Who?

Other than them, I also picked up a catgirl maid.

Enough pervert, lets hurry up! Your sister is going to be in trouble if you waste any more time!

Hm we should hurry. Xiao Hua, lets go!

As long as you dont say useless stuff, then well be quick.

Hm, sister-in-law, what did you say?

Uh I-I already said Im not your sister-in-law, and you arent my brother-in-law!
