Early the next morning, the mentally exhausted Leticia decided to stay in bed.
Last night she had witnessed what could be called the highest level of unreasonable troublemaking. When a divine who looked like a child started being unreasonable, Leticia really couldn't handle it.
Flora had called her over just to give her a gift and continue asking Leticia to look after Evangelyne, while Qing had purely come to watch the drama.
Actively pulling other people's spirits into her divine artifact space seemed to be Flora's exclusive ability—Qing couldn't do such things.
This divine could only come out of her prison for a breath of air when the Elven Empress actively summoned her, unlike Flora who seemed so free.
From this, it could be seen that Qing was really pathetic.
Of course, if she said this to Qing's face, that little girl would probably start yammering about disrespecting divines again.
"Get up." Unfortunately, Leticia's plan to stay in bed came to nothing. Miss Bai entered her room and began constantly poking Leticia's face with her finger.
"What? If you have nothing to do, go do yourself, okay?" Leticia opened her eyes with annoyance. Who had she provoked by just trying to catch up on sleep?
"About Evangelyne's matter—didn't you say she'd be leaving in a few days? About Xi Mengyao's memories, shouldn't we make a decision?" But Bai Ling had really come to discuss serious business this time.
Leticia grabbed her hair with some distress. Her already somewhat messy hair from a night's rest became almost like a bird's nest under her random grabbing.
"How about we send Evangelyne away first, then you control Xi Mengyao while I modify her memories?"
"Doing that makes us feel like bad people."
"For our common ideal, if we have to be bad people, then so be it. Besides, it's not like we're completely erasing them—we can slightly disguise those memories, right?" Leticia touched her chin and voiced her thoughts. "For example, Evangelyne is still that Lin Qingyu, but she's not the Elven Empress—she's just an ordinary Half-Elf or something."
"They met because one day, Xi Mengyao encountered elven extremists attacking her, and Lin Qingyu stepped forward to save Xi Mengyao."
"Then they developed feelings and so on. See, wouldn't that be quite nice?"
"But doing that would be very troublesome, right?" Bai Ling asked.
Leticia naturally nodded, "Of course it's troublesome. The most convenient method would be to directly erase this segment of her memories—most magic-efficient. But if we really did that, Evangelyne would probably fight me to the death."
She didn't want to make her cooperation partner hold a grudge against her someday.
"Speaking of which, does Little Ya know who Evangelyne is?" Leticia suddenly asked about another matter.
Bai Ling shook her head: "She met Evangelyne yesterday but didn't recognize that Evangelyne was the Elven Empress."
Evangelyne didn't appear in public very often, and Bai Ya wasn't the type of girl who liked watching the news, so not recognizing Evangelyne was normal.
Honestly, there weren't many people in the elven race who could recognize Evangelyne at a glance either. This empress's presence was truly somewhat weak.
What was more widely known in the elven race were those white-haired elders and the beautiful Princess Highness. As for the empress?
Who would care about a Half-Elf?
Even if she was the nominal ruler of the elven race.
It could only be said that Evangelyne's situation was truly miserable—probably only slightly better than some empress in certain adult games.
"Then it's fine. Wait for me a moment. We'll go find those two later." Leticia yawned and climbed down from the bed.
After chasing Bai Ling out of the room, putting on the clothes Xue'er had prepared, and admiring the cute girl in the mirror, Leticia rubbed her temples and walked out of the bedroom.
Qila had already gone to the study to work, and after Xue'er had placed breakfast on the table, she had been busy organizing things. Leticia's house was quite lively now.
The two Heavenly Kings were moving the things Xue'er had organized box by box downstairs. After all, not just anyone could enter the Demon King's home.
After finishing breakfast, Leticia followed Bai Ling upstairs and knocked on Evangelyne's door.
Naturally, it was Xi Mengyao who opened the door. Today she looked full of energy, her face glowing with a faint blush. Compared to yesterday, she could be said to be a completely different person.
Was this the power of love? Leticia thought.
"Miss Su, Miss Bai." Xi Mengyao led the two into the room. "I know what you two have come to do, but could you please not make me forget her?"
"I can only say that forgetting her is the best choice. If you really don't want to forget, I can give you another option." Leticia said. "Let's go to Evangelyne's room. These matters need her opinion too."
Entering Evangelyne's bedroom, today the empress looked in good spirits too. She was leaning against the bed, holding her phone and looking at it intently.
Hearing the door open, she looked up and smiled at the three girls who entered: "Good morning, Miss Bai, Miss Qianqian."
"Morning. I've already contacted the elven side. We can send you over tomorrow." Leticia first stated the urgency of time, then explained her thoughts to Evangelyne and Xi Mengyao.
"If someday Evangelyne really completes her wishes and is willing to give up everything, or if Little Xi is willing to go to the elven race, then have her contact me. I'll come restore Little Xi's memories."
"This is currently the best method. The danger of keeping these memories is too great. Evangelyne, you don't want Little Xi to be harmed either, and Little Xi, you don't want to become a handle to threaten Evangelyne, right?"
Bai Ling blinked. She felt like she had missed something.
Why was Leticia directly assuming there was some relationship between the two girls?
Had she missed a few episodes?
"Did you peek?" Bai Ling poked Leticia.
Miss Demon King glared at Bai Ling. Was this the time to ask such things?
Couldn't she see this little couple was conflicted?
"Did you or didn't you?" Bai Ling continued poking.
A vein bulged on Leticia's forehead. She grabbed Bai Ling's wrist and slapped that restless hand hard with her other hand.
The effect was immediate—Bai Ling's white, tender hand immediately turned red.
"Ow." Bai Ling said somewhat pitifully.
"That's what you get for being handsy." Leticia pressed Bai Ling's hand onto Bai Ling's thigh. "Don't move. If you move again, I'll keep slapping you."
Finally, Evangelyne and Xi Mengyao reached a consensus.
"Modify your memories after Evangelyne leaves? That's fine." After hearing the two girls' decision, Leticia nodded. "But someone will come for Evangelyne tomorrow, so you two only have today to spend together."
"Mm, so..." Xi Mengyao poked her fingers together, blushing as she said quietly, "Could we, that..."
Leticia understood. She pulled up Bai Ling, indicating they wouldn't be third wheels.
You two can do whatever you want today, just don't kill anyone.
Bai Ling was still somewhat resistant, but Leticia quite forcefully pushed her out of the room and closed the door.
"What happened?" Miss Sword Saint was confused.
Leticia's expression was barely holding. This guy was usually so bold—how could she not understand at a time like this?
From Xi Mengyao's performance just now, she clearly planned to use today's remaining time for some in-depth communication with Evangelyne.
At a time like this, did they really have to stay in the room as third wheels?
"Is your brain eaten by pigs? They're planning to be lovey-dovey. If you want to be a third wheel, go ahead, but I'm not doing it." Leticia snorted.
Lovey-dovey?!
Bai Ling's eyes widened. They were starting to be lovey-dovey already?
She immediately moved to the door, held her breath, and started eavesdropping.
A few seconds later, she retreated with a red face.
Modern girls were really... too scary.
This was broad daylight, and they were actually, actually starting to... Goodness, Bai Ling felt like she couldn't keep up with the times.
She had thought she was already quite bold and progressive, but she never expected Xi Mengyao and Evangelyne to be even bolder and more progressive.
It had only been a few days, a few days!
And they were already starting to...
"What did you hear?" Leticia became curious.
To make Bai Ling, this incredibly thick-skinned person, blush, those two girls couldn't have gone straight to the final step, could they?
No way, right?
"They seem to be... kissing?" Bai Ling stammered.
Oh, just kissing. What was there to be shy about? Leticia was greatly disappointed. She had thought there would be something more intense in the room.
It was just kissing—very disappointing.
"Tch, I thought it would be some deeper communication, but it's just this small matter." Leticia chuckled.
Bai Ling's face was as red as an apple. She was indeed quite bold at certain times, but also extraordinarily thin-skinned at other times.
When bold, she could appear naked in front of Leticia, a stranger. When shy, even hearing the sound of others kissing could make her face turn red.
It was really impossible to figure out this girl's face thickness.
"No, it's kissing! They're actually kissing!" Bai Ling gestured excitedly, trying to make Leticia understand the seriousness of the situation.
She and Leticia had been pulling and tugging for so long, but kissing was something Bai Ling had never even thought about.
For her, the greatest success was hugging Leticia while sleeping.
Negative-distance contact like kissing was something Bai Ling didn't dare think about, really didn't dare think about.
"It's just a kiss. When you get a girlfriend someday, you'll get used to it too." Leticia patted Bai Ling's shoulder, speaking as someone experienced.
Although she had never been in a relationship, she had watched others date. Not like Evangelyne and Xi Mengyao's girl-girl relationship, but quite normal boy-girl relationships.
Back then, Leticia had watched her good brothers leave the single dog army one by one, feeling seven parts jealous and three parts envious.
Unfortunately, envy, jealousy, and hatred couldn't accomplish anything. When she was sent into a womb by some unknown thing, her cute little girlfriend was still hiding and refusing to appear.
In short, Leticia felt that although Evangelyne and Xi Mengyao's relationship was progressing a bit fast, it was still within normal speed.
They had developed feelings between life and death. Evangelyne had risked her life to save Xi Mengyao, and later Xi Mengyao had supported Evangelyne and walked a long way alone.
It would be strange if they couldn't develop some emotional foundation from this.
"Besides, they only have one day to be intimate. If they don't hurry, how can they manage?"
"Um, speaking of this, aren't you leaving too?" Bai Ling's gaze began to wander. "Should we also be intimate..."
Slap!
Leticia jumped up and smacked Bai Ling on the head.
"Mm..." The girl's eyes filled with tears as she covered her head, not knowing why she had been hit.
"I'm going back specifically to avoid getting involved with you. If I get intimate with you, wouldn't going back be completely pointless?" Leticia said with her eyes closed and a face full of black lines.
She was planning to return to the Demon Realm to hide from Bai Ling, this bastard. After that, they would have no connection except for Little Ya.
She would walk her sunny path, I'll walk my single-plank bridge—that was Leticia's plan.
She believed time could dilute all feelings. In a few years, Bai Ling might be with another beautiful young lady, and Leticia could also find a girl to her liking as a wife.
Both their lives would be so perfect—wouldn't that be wonderful?
"I'm telling you, don't hang yourself on my crooked tree. You're so pretty—there must be plenty of people who like you. Find someone suitable and develop feelings with her to fill that empty heart of yours." Leticia began speaking eloquently, completely unaware that Bai Ling's gaze was already changing.
"Look at you—such good hardware. If you don't choose me, you could become a player with no problem. Why bother? I'm not that pretty, and look at my figure—flat as a board."
"I don't have any big goals in this life. I just want to find a pretty young lady as a wife. After returning to the Demon Realm, I'll go find... Wait, why are you so close to me?"
While Leticia was giving her grand speech, Bai Ling had already quietly closed in on her. When Leticia came to her senses, she was surprised to find Bai Ling was only a tiny distance away from her.
Instinctively backing up a few steps, Leticia found herself against the wall, and Bai Ling seemed to have no intention of letting her go—she also moved to the wall.
Leticia panicked.
"What are you doing? I'm warning you—there are other people watching here."
"No, I just feel like I was... too lacking in aggressiveness before." Bai Ling said with a red face. "This is my only chance—I must seize it!"
"Wait, get away from me, get away!"
