029. This Henghe beaver
A light drizzle began to fall over the capital city of Asgard. The sky was overcast, and the dark clouds hung low, as if they were about to fall at any moment.
The carriage quickly returned to the castle.
In the trunk, old Gordon was completely drunk, lying there like an abandoned sack.
Xinlai got out of the car and instructed the servants to carry Gordon to the old man's former residence. In a sense, this could be considered a different kind of inheritance.
On the way back, Sin Lai kept thinking about what changes Gordon's arrival would bring.
First of all, Gordon was arranged by his father, King Bermelt, so it's impossible to say that there was no element of surveillance involved.
Now that his second brother Simeon has been making frequent moves, it's likely that Bermelt has become wary. Moreover, the day before the witch's trial, Sinley and Simeon met privately, making Bermelt even more cautious of him.
Furthermore, Eve now lives in the castle.
Gordon was, after all, a mage on the verge of reaching the sixth ring, and his perception of magic was far beyond that of ordinary people. He had served in the dungeon and must have seen Eve.
Xinlai felt that the chances of completely keeping it from him were slim.
Thinking about it this way, the only option is to find out Gordon's background first, and then make a more detailed plan.
"Welcome home... Master."
A soft, timid, and barely audible greeting interrupted Xinlai's thoughts.
He paused, quite certain that his left foot had stepped into his own castle, not some luxurious mansion of Garund.
Moreover, he probably doesn't have the spare money to hire a maid who's willing to role-play for him.
and so……
Xinlai turned her head, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
"you?"
Having just uttered that incredibly embarrassing line, Eve's cheeks were flushed, and her whole head was burning hot.
"I... what's wrong with me?" She tried her best to adopt the posture of a maid, standing barefoot in front of Xinlai.
The clothes were clearly borrowed from another maid; they were several sizes too small and unnaturally tight.
Those two small watermelons were bulging high because of the tight straps, and you could even see the faint marks left by the white tank top; her waist was cinched very thin, and the rounded curves under the skirt were outlined in every detail.
Two fair and straight legs were slightly pressed together, the hem of her skirt barely covering her private area. Her jade-like feet were gently arched, her small toes curling up tightly.
Xinlai circled her with great interest, as if examining a fine work of art.
Eve frowned slightly, biting her lower lip, her gaze darting around nervously.
"Not bad, not bad at all." Xinlai nodded in satisfaction.
It seems this young lady is really going all out, and she truly took his parting words to heart.
I just don't know where they learned those lines and maid etiquette; something just feels off...
"Yes, my dear witch—"
Xinlai leaned forward, raised her hand and lifted her chin, forcing her to look at her. "It seems you're very curious about what I found out during my interrogation of your father today?"
Eve turned her face slightly away, her eyes showing a hint of disdain, but she did not struggle, which could be considered as tacitly approving Xinlai's transgression.
Xinlai caught a whiff of her faint fragrance and suddenly felt as if a highly aggressive insect had crawled into her brain.
Without hesitation, he lowered his head and buried it in the crook of her neck.
"!!!"
"What...what are you doing?!"
Eve's body trembled violently as her warm breath patted her neck, sending a shiver down her spine.
She wore a tragic expression that seemed to say, "Nothing is more sorrowful than a broken heart," and "Even if you have my body, you can't have my heart." She neither struggled nor resisted, letting Xinlai leave a faint red mark on her neck.
Unfortunately, due to the height difference, Eve's slightly tiptoeing toes began to tremble, and her two hands, unsure of where to go, instinctively gripped Xinlai's clothes, afraid that she would fall.
Just hang in there... just hang in there...
Eve, you can do it!
For my father... For my family...
"Huff... huff..."
Tears welled up in her eyes, and her body finally gave way; even clutching the hem of her clothes was of no use.
"ah--!"
At the critical moment, Xin Lai wrapped her other arm around her waist and pulled her towards herself.
The two were pressed tightly together.
Eve's eyes widened, and she desperately pushed against his chest with her little hands, pounding and hitting him.
"Xin...Xin Lai! Don't push your luck!" She panicked; she never expected Xin Lai to be so skilled.
The warm, large hand landed right on my tailbone, causing a sensation that was both itchy and numb, along with an indescribable feeling that kept assaulting my brain.
"No...no!"
She gasped softly and shoved Xinlai away abruptly.
Xinlai was pushed so hard that she landed on her bottom, supporting herself with her left hand and casually wiping the corner of her mouth with her right hand. She looked at the stunning Eve and chuckled.
Eve stood there, head down, tears falling one by one onto the carpet.
"Waaaaah..."
She couldn't stop sobbing softly, silently and sternly condemning Xinlai's behavior just now.
Fortunately, Xinlai had sent all the servants away to carry Gordon, otherwise, if someone had seen it, the whole royal city would probably be talking about it tomorrow: Xinlai was actually rejected by a maid.
Xinlai didn't care, feeling that this was a worthwhile trade.
He stood up from the ground and walked over to Eve.
"Don't cry—" He reached out to comfort her, but Eve dodged him with the agility of Xiao Mao in his Spinosaurus form.
"Pervert! Rogue! Shameless! Vulgar—!!"
Eve cursed hysterically.
However, when Xinlai looked at her, she couldn't help but laugh because she found Eve's cursing style strangely endearing.
Eve was even more confused by the laughter. Why was he laughing even when she was scolding him?
"Alright, stop crying. I admit I have a problem." Xinlai shrugged and took off her coat, draping it over her shoulders.
Eve was about to dodge when she realized the clothes were already covering her. She wanted to take them off, but then felt that wearing them was much better than before...
"asshole……"
"But aren't you okay?"
Eve: ૮ o̴̶̷᷄·̫ o̴̶̷̥᷅ა?
"I am also a young and vigorous man in my prime, with normal sexual orientation and normal fetishes."
"What do you mean 'normal fetish'?! You're a pervert!" Eve shouted, wiping away her tears as she pointed at him.
"Think about it, when I told you to learn how to serve me from the servants, I meant taking care of my daily needs, including but not limited to warming my bed..."
"Okay, this might be a bit beyond your level."
"What I mean is, you can naturally pick out and dress me according to what I need to wear. You can also adapt to whatever I need to do."
Xinlai patiently explained, "Instead of doing what you're doing now, trying to be like the character in 'The Fallen Noble Liulichuan'... That book is probably still on the carpet, isn't it?"
Perhaps his words struck a chord, for Eve froze, her eyes darting away slightly.
"Well...you can't be this unreasonable..." she sobbed, sounding more like she was being coquettish.
"Is it too much?" Xin Lai recalled the plot of "The Fallen Noble Liulichuan" and felt that she had already been quite a gentleman.
"Waaah...isn't that too much?"
"..."
Xin Lai paused for a moment, then continued, "Besides, the fact that you didn't refuse in the first place means you were willing to trade my momentary impulse for a reply from your father, doesn't it?"
This reasoning is from the Henghe beaver.
"You...you..." Eve was speechless, finding it strangely reasonable.
"Alright." Xin Lai said, savoring the sensation from the touch, as she pulled the letter out of her bag.
"I believe in not owing anyone anything. Consider what you did just now as payment for giving me the opportunity to write the letter and bring back your father's words."
"Is everything alright?"
Eve was sulking, her arms crossed over her chest, cradling the two small watermelons.
But after hearing this, she felt that... it didn't seem like there was anything wrong with it?
No, no, this is clearly...
This is clearly a huge problem!
But I just can't quite put my finger on what's wrong...
That despicable Xin Lai! Xin Lai is a pervert! Xin Lai is a big bad guy...
Xinlai is a big bad guy!
