Chapter 280 – Exclusive Maid

Higgins originally planned to pull Elena into his arms, but when he was suddenly called out, he got startled and froze.

“Who are you calling a sissy?”

“You, who else?” Lin Xiao yawned and rubbed his nose, he still didn’t look that sober.

After downing several cups, he accidentally fell asleep at his seat. Now that someone came looking for trouble, he was startled awake and quickly stopped it.

How dare this damn sissy come to Elena for a dance? There was no way Lin Xiao would agree, even if she was going to dance, she can only dance with him!

Lin Xiao could only feel sorrow thinking about the dance and what happened, it felt like he owed ShenDai Ying in his past life.

What was going on?

He planned to happily come to the banquet, first he was blocked at the door by an idiot and almost started a fight. After finally coming in and having a couple bites of food, he heard the shocking news that she was getting married in half a year. He wanted to use alcohol to drown his sorrows, then his maid almost got bullied…

Oh my god, was today make Lin Xiao suffer day? If he wasn’t worried about causing trouble for ShenDai Ying, he would have already left.

“I say, you sissy, my maid already rejected your invitation. As a gentleman, you should immediately scram, not continue to pester her.”

No matter how uncomfortable he felt, he suppressed his anger and tried talking it out. However, the alcohol made him slur his speech and it was hard for anyone to respect him.

“It’s none of your business! I can invite whoever I want to invite, it has nothing to do with you.” Of course Higgins wouldn’t take a mere drunkard seriously.

“Oh? But what if I say that I don’t allow it?”

“Don’t allow it?”

“That’s right, I don’t allow it.”

This time Lin Xiao used actions to respond to his question.

He gently pulled Elena’s arm so that she fell right into his arms, right in front of Higgins.

Since Elena was standing next to him, and Lin Xiao was sitting down. When she was pulled, she lost her balance and fell right into Lin Xiao’s arms.

Lin Xiao was extremely pleased with Elena’s reaction, he extended his other arm and used a princess carry to hug her comfortably in his arms. Elena blushed and pounded his chest, quietly cursing at him and telling him to let her go.

“Damn pervert, what are you doing?”

“I want to let him know that you’re my exclusive maid!”

“W-who’s your exclusive maid? You damn pervert, you’re getting more and more daring, do you think I won’t kill you!”

“I do. You can’t bear to kill me Elena, you like me, I also like you, muah~”

“What? Peh! Shameless, I, I like you my ass!”

Elena could feel her cheeks getting hotter being teased by him and accidentally swore out loud.

When she stared at his face, she noticed something. Although his complexion looked normal, his lips were exceptionally red and his breath smelled like alcohol. So even if he looked normal, he was probably drunk beyond belief.

Normally, Lin Xiao would never dare say something disgusting like ‘You like me and I also like you’ in front of her.

“Tell me honestly, how many glasses did you drink?” Elena whispered next to him.

“Not much, just one glass, hehe, hic…”

“Just one? I don’t believe it, tell me the truth!” Elena squinted at him.

“Uh… t-two?”

“Just two?”

“No, actually t-three…”

“How many?”

“Hehe… four.”

After being repeatedly pressed, Lin Xiao shyly smiled and honestly told her.

Elena was almost driven crazy.

This bastard wasn’t ashamed at all but proud, please, what’s with your smug smile? Do you want be praised after getting so drunk?

While they were whispering to each others, to everyone else, it looked like they were showing their love for each other. Not just hugging, but also quietly whispering to one another, and they were close enough to be kissing!

“Damn, how dare you humiliate me! … I’m going to have to…”

That maid ignored him, a noble, no matter how he invited her, but she was obediently flirting in his arms just with a light tug from Lin Xiao.

The difference was evident.

Wasn’t that just a slap to his face!?

Higgins was infuriated and wasn’t thinking straight and was planning to use force!

Higgins followed his father and has practiced some fighting, although he didn’t have battle aura, but his muscled were well developed compared to the frail Lin Xiao!

Lin Xiao appeared to be a magician, and there was no way he had any power in his drunken state, all he had to do was to go over and forcibly rip Elena out of his arms.

Higgins moved quickly, when his companion realized he was going to do something, it was already too late. He could only watch as Higgins leaped towards the maid lying in her master’s arms.

Even though she was in Lin Xiao’s arms and couldn’t see with her eyes, but she already saw through Higgins with her perception skill and gave Lin Xiao a look.

It was strange, although Lin Xiao was drunkenly messing around with Elena, he instantly became alert when he saw her giving him a look and reacted to Higgins actions.

“Do you want to die?”

He stuck out an open palm and stopped Higgins by pressing it against his chest.

One was a city lord’s son that had trained before, the other was a drunk magician. The palm was not a deterrent, it didn’t even have enough strength to push him away, but Higgins was sweating profusely and his head was instantly cleared.

That’s because he noticed the pale green magic power that was coming from Lin Xiao’s hand, just like what happened before.

Higgins suddenly remembered that at the entrance to the banquet hall, Lin Xiao easily sent a sixth-level warrior flying and spitting up blood with his palms, and now, against a just barely first-level warrior, he would probably die!

Although he knew that it was the palace and Lin Xiao probably wouldn’t dare kill anyone, but he looked closer at his appearance, he definitely didn’t look like he was in the right state of mind and might do something irrational!

Compared to his face and reputation, his life was more important!

“Brother, d-don’t do anything rash… I-I was wrong! Take it easy, I know you’re a powerful magician and can easily kill someone with your palm… don’t do it, I-I-I won’t bother your maid anymore, I just drank too much, c-c-calm down!” Higgins trembled as he stared at Lin Xiao’s hand and couldn’t even stand straight anymore.

“Drank too much?”

“Un, I drank too much, I’m drunk… ah my head hurts…”

“Hic… hm… then get lost! What are you waiting for?”

“Y-y-y-yes… I’m getting lost… I won’t disturb you being intimate with your maid anymore.” Higgins stumbled back and almost fell, fortunately, his companion caught him so he wasn’t made a fool of.

“Intimate? Hehe, no, I’m going to dance with her.”

“Ah?”

Higgins watched as he wobbled up and pulled Elena towards the dance floor.

He couldn’t do it with so many different invitations, yet he could just causally pull her there… Higgins felt his cheeks stinging, like he was just slapped.

Ignoring the unnecessary people, Lin Xiao borrowed alcohol to boldly dance with the Demon King.

Elena didn’t resist at first and obediently followed Lin Xiao away from the seat, but she suddenly stopped when they were almost there.

“What are you doing?”

“Dancing? What else.”

“With who?”

“Of course with you.”

“Why?”

“Because I want to dance with you, hehe…”

Lin Xiao laughed and played around and approached her face like he was going to kiss her.

He originally thought that she would quickly avoid it and call him a pervert, but this time, she didn’t move.

The strange thing was, since she wasn’t avoiding it, he didn’t dare do it anymore and stopped halfway. He smacked his lips and turned his head and stopped fooling around.

“Why aren’t you kissing me anymore?” Elena asked expressionlessly.

“Tsk, it’s no fun, you’re not even getting embarrassed.”

“Oh, so everything you did and said was just to make me embarrassed?” Elena saw through him and asked disdainfully, “Lin Xiao, you aren’t actually drunk, are you?”

“…” Staring into her red eyes, Lin Xiao bitterly smiled and silently nodded.

“So, what you said earlier, were you serious or playing around?”

“…What did I say earlier?”
