"Hah, that Bai person sent me a letter?" Leticia, who was so bored in the Demon King's palace she was about to grow mushrooms, looked surprised as she took the letter her sister handed her. "Has she gone crazy? Or did someone beat her brains out?"
"I don't know." Qila frowned as she looked at her sister's outfit. Even in the bedchamber, dressing like this was far too revealing.
A semi-transparent white gauze nightgown, through which one could vaguely see Leticia's pure white underwear and panties.
Two snow-white jade legs draped over the bedside, her fair skin with a hint of pink making one unconsciously want to take a bite.
She didn't look like a Demon King at all!
Qila looked down at her own attire—a dignified and elegant black long dress, with the hem falling to mid-calf revealing a section of calf covered in white stockings and black leather shoes.
The long dress was embroidered with golden thread depicting a great bird soaring with spread wings, and various lace decorations further highlighted the girl's characteristics.
A Demon Princess, the Demon King's own sister, should dress like this.
But our Demon King herself... sigh.
"At least Your Majesty is quite serious when meeting with the Four Heavenly Kings," Xue'er stood to the side, trying to smooth things over for Leticia.
Yes, although she was reluctant in every way possible, Leticia had chosen a particularly gloomy day to meet with the four scapegoats she had carefully selected.
To let them know she was still around, and incidentally to intimidate them, lest these four errand boys develop ideas they shouldn't have.
The effect was quite good.
When the Four Heavenly Kings left the palace, their clothes were already soaked.
Yes, from being scared by Leticia.
When Leticia put on a serious demeanor, she was quite intimidating. Although her complexion wasn't great, the Four Heavenly Kings hadn't really noticed that.
They only knew that the Demon King was always there, and always watching them.
"Those four guys..." Leticia rolled her eyes. She had never had much fondness for these Four Heavenly Kings. If it weren't for the ancestral rule that there must be Four Heavenly Kings, she would have dismissed these four scrubs long ago.
Using a letter opener to slice open the envelope, Leticia read Bai Ling's letter word by word.
As she read, her expression gradually became strange.
After finishing the letter, she pulled out another piece of paper from the envelope and handed it to Qila. "This is what Little Ya wrote to you."
"Huh?"
"Bai Ya, your good friend." Leticia stuffed the letter into Qila's hands, then began thinking about what Bai Ling's letter had said.
Bai Ya had found a girl who was seriously injured—ah, more accurately, a girl who had been poisoned by an exotic toxin.
Human doctors had no way to deal with the poison the girl had been affected by. In that doctor's words, this poison should be a specialty from other races.
So Bai Ling had approached Emily, that demon girl who had been ordered by Qila to infiltrate Bai Ling's home but was caught red-handed by Leticia.
Before leaving, Qila had left Emily's contact information with Bai Ling, agreeing that Emily could contact them if anything happened.
So after learning that the girl's poison wasn't from the human side, Bai Ling had approached Emily to have this demon girl take a look at the situation.
Emily's answer was rather troublesome. She said the poison was indeed a magical creation, but her knowledge was limited and she couldn't dispel it.
That made sense—Emily was a combat, er, no, clerical staff member, not a doctor. It would be strange if she could detoxify.
However, she offered her opinion that there should be people among the demons who could detoxify it.
So Bai Ling had written a letter to Leticia asking for personnel.
As for Bai Ya's letter, that was just incidental.
This little girl had made a fuss about wanting to write a letter to Su Qi too after hearing that Bai Ling was going to write to her Sister Qianqian, so this letter contained two letters for two people.
Sister's to sister, younger sister's to younger sister—quite symmetrical.
"Black hair, emerald green eyes—sounds like a Half-Elf." After Qila finished reading Bai Ya's letter, Leticia handed Bai Ling's letter to her sister, planning to hear her opinion.
Qila nodded. Such distinctive features were indeed characteristic of Half-Elves.
"If it's a Half-Elf, the poison should be from the elven side, so looking for us demons seems to have no..." Qila paused, suddenly thinking of that doctor. "I wonder if Doctor Candice has any way."
Doctor Candice was the doctor who had complained about Leticia treating Blood Burning as a daily method, and also a fairly famous doctor on the demon side.
Coincidentally, this doctor was supposed to come today to check on Leticia's recovery.
When the doctor arrived, Leticia told her about the matter in the letter.
"Elven poison? I've only seen it in books. Actually dealing with it might not be so simple." After hearing Leticia's account, this young female physician wearing a monocle said solemnly.
She was still very young and couldn't compare with those old veterans in terms of experience.
Dealing with elven poison was indeed somewhat challenging for her.
"Qila, I have a proposal!" Candice didn't directly say she was helpless, which immediately made Leticia's mind active.
It seemed like she could use this matter to return to the human world and enjoy herself!
"Rejected."
"Eh, I haven't even said what the proposal is yet."
"Sister definitely wants to go to the human world to continue playing games, right?" Qila snorted. Having finally caught her sister back, how could she let her go back so easily?
"Of course not!" Leticia immediately protested that she hadn't thought that way. "This is showing our sincerity to our human friends!"
She and Bai Ling were now comrades on the same front. When a comrade requests support, she naturally had to help.
It's just that while helping, using the computer at home a bit wasn't a big problem, right?
Actually, if Xue'er could have brought Leticia's laptop back to the Demon Realm, Leticia wouldn't be so eager to return to the human world.
Although she couldn't go online, she could still play the single-player games that had already been downloaded. Charging wasn't a difficult issue for Leticia, who was a mage.
Unfortunately, when Xue'er returned, she just hadn't brought the computer.
And after returning to the Demon Realm, Xue'er couldn't possibly go to the human world alone to bring back the computer—she still had to take care of the weakened Leticia.
"But sister hasn't fully recovered yet."
"Doctor Candice is going together, right? With her by my side, there's absolutely no problem!"
"But..."
"No buts. You pack up too. We'll go together—that should be fine, right?"
