80: I'll Beat You to Death, You Bastard!
If Leticia's disguise was seen through by Qila, Bai Ling really didn't dare imagine how panicked Leticia would be at that moment.
She might just run away directly.
"Don't worry, I'm very reliable." Leticia was quite dissatisfied with Bai Ling's distrust of her. Although she was afraid of being seen through by Qila, saying she was afraid of her own sister?
Pure nonsense.
She was the older sister—how could she possibly be afraid of her own sister?
"Your performance just now really wasn't very convincing." Bai Ling's eyes were full of distrust toward Leticia. That performance just now was like a mouse seeing a cat.
This was called not being afraid?
"You, shut up!" Somewhat embarrassed and angry, Leticia pounded the table hard. "I'm not treating you to lunch today!"
"So you were planning to treat me to lunch?" Bai Ling's eyes widened slightly. She thought Leticia was still planning to go Dutch like before.
"Heh, anyway, you can't eat it now." Leticia hugged her fake chest and snorted coldly. "Let's go, time to eat."
Bai Ling drained the remaining milk in her cup and stood up from her chair. "We really should go."
No one could guarantee that the extremely curious Qila wouldn't suddenly come back, so it was best to slip away early.
Fortunately, Leticia's most feared situation didn't occur. After leaving, Qila had no intention of returning. Only after walking to another district did the Demon King gently breathe a sigh of relief.
"Well, now I have another reason to move."
"Are you afraid that Qila will find out you live downstairs from my house?" Bai Ling naturally understood what Leticia meant.
Qila and Little Ya were superficial good friends, and judging from Little Ya's evaluation of Qila, Qila was still maintaining the surface friendship.
This caused Little Ya, who didn't have many friends to begin with, to frequently mention Leticia. The more she mentioned her, the more interested Qila would become in Leticia.
Plus with Little Ya's hospitable personality, once they really became close, she might bring her good friend Su Qi to meet another good friend Su Qianqian.
At that time, it would truly be sisters meeting, with particular animosity.
"But wouldn't running away make people even more suspicious? Right now Qila at most thinks you're that white-clad person—she wouldn't think of you as Leticia at all." Bai Ling tried to dissuade her. She didn't want Leticia to move away, not for any noble reasons, but for her own selfish desires.
She didn't want Leticia to be too far from her.
"That's still better than being on edge all the time."
"I can help you keep Qila away."
"You?" Leticia glanced at Bai Ling and shook her head decisively. "You can't do it."
This "you can't do it" really hurt Bai Ling. She, the great Stellar Sword Saint, was being told from the heart for the first time that she couldn't do something.
"I can!"
"Bai, actually, we can be considered the same type of people." Leticia patted Bai Ling's fair, rosy shoulder with a hint of emotion. "Ah, no wait, you're even more terminally ill than me."
Bai Ling tilted her head. How was she terminally ill?
Also, what was this "same type of people" thing?
Apart from both being girls, what similarities were there between her and Leticia?
In terms of strength, they were indeed similar, but that definitely wasn't what Leticia meant.
"Your brain really matches your appetite." Seeing that Bai Ling couldn't understand her meaning, Leticia indicated Bai Ling had a pig brain. "What do we have in common?"
"Both are girls."
"Mm, and then?"
"Both like girls."
"Stand here and don't move." Leticia clenched her fists. Bai Ling's answer really made the fire in her heart surge upward.
"Oh." Bai Ling didn't know what Leticia wanted to do, but she still obediently stood straight as Leticia had said.
"Bend your knees a little." After estimating the height difference between herself and Bai Ling, Leticia had Bai Ling crouch down a bit.
Bai Ling complied.
Then, Leticia raised her hand and slammed a punch hard on Bai Ling's head. "Is your silly brain filled with nothing but yellow garbage?! We're both older sisters! Older sisters!"
"Ow." Leticia's punch was merciless. Bai Ling, who had been hit on the head without warning, tearfully covered her head. "What are you doing?"
"Making your brain clear up a bit. I don't even know how to complain about what you just said." Leticia blew on her little fist. That punch just now was really satisfying.
"What do you mean 'both like girls'? How do you know I like girls?"
"Isn't that the case?" Bai Ling asked back.
"...Yes, I do like girls." Leticia couldn't complain anymore. She did like girls, but was that the point?
What she had wanted to say was that as a sister complex, Bai Ling couldn't possibly refuse her sister's requests.
"Let me ask you, between Little Ya and me, who is more important to you?" Leticia asked a deadly question.
"Little Ya is more important." Obviously, the relationship between Bai Ling and Leticia hadn't reached a level where it could make this hopeless sister complex hesitate.
Leticia had expected this answer. "So, you can't stop Little Ya. When Little Ya brings Qila to see me, won't that be the end?"
"Once or twice I can refuse to see them, but if it happens too many times, Qila will definitely suspect me."
"..." Bai Ling fell silent. She found that Leticia's words made a lot of sense.
"So annoying. Why did Qila become Little Ya's classmate? Has this world gone crazy? Qila could do anything else, but she had to come here to experience student life?" Leticia muttered to herself. She had originally thought Qila was far away from her, but unexpectedly, Qila was so very close to her.
So close it could almost be called face-to-face.
"Are you hiding anything else from me?" Thinking of this, Leticia looked at Bai Ling again. This person could even hide news about Qila—Leticia was now suspecting whether Bai Ling was hiding even more things from her.
"...Qila knows I know you." Bai Ling said very quietly.
"Know who?!"
"Know Leticia." Bai Ling guiltily looked away.
"I'll fucking beat you to death, you bastard! How does Qila know? Don't tell me you directly told her you know me?" Leticia's eyes widened. This Bai Ling really made people furious.
"No, she guessed it." Bai Ling quickly explained. This really wasn't her fault.
