Picked up a Demon King to be a Maid - Chapter 404

Yao Zi was really like an angel, Claire was embarrassed and couldn’t find anyone else so she went towards Yao Zi because of her gentle and cute personality.

But this time Yao Zi didn’t want to get too close to Claire, one reason was because of her aggressive behavior from before which she still had lingering fears, and couldn’t accept her sudden change, the other was because of Lin Xiao’s two confidantes…

“Brother, you have to remember to never become a promiscuous man, you can be gentle towards girls but you can’t be that way to every single girl.” Leaving Claire behind her, Yao Zi leaned next to Xiao Tian and quietly warned him.

“A promiscuous man? Sis, who are you talking about?”

“Who else, your brother Xiao.”

“Eh? You’re saying he’s promiscuous?”

“Shhh!!! Quiet down…” Yao Zi quickly covered her brother’s mouth and only relaxed after making sure that no one else heard.

“It’s not like I’m wrong, just take a look yourself.”

“Hm?”

Following his sister’s gaze, he saw the three people that were walking at the front.

Elena was responsible for leading the way, her expression was cold as usual but there was also hidden anger in her eyes. Next to her, Lin Xiao was walking quickly to keep up while responding to ShenDai Ying’s questions.

Xiao Tian couldn’t make out what they were saying but looking at her smile that had daggers hidden in them and Lin Xiao’s awkward responses, he immediately understood.

It was obvious that those two were bothered by Claire’s kiss… they were most likely jealous.

“So, do you understand? Your brother Xiao not only has his big-breasted maid, but he was also fooling around with someone else’s fiancée. And those two beauties weren’t even enough, he went to fool around with another woman…” When she said that, Yao Zi glanced back at Claire then quietly whispered, “Does he treat everyone that well, with Claire, and also… with me, it’s really easy to misunderstand, it’s really annoying!”

“Hm? Sis, what did you just say? He treats you well, so… what did you misunderstand?”

“Eh? Nothing… I didn’t say that, you misheard!” Yao Zi patted her brother’s shoulder and quickly changed the topic, “Anyways, just listen to your sister and don’t grow up to be someone like that.”

“Yeah! Sis, don’t worry, the only woman I like will be you!”

“Hm? Although I trust that… but y-you can’t treat your sister as a woman!” Yao Zi blushed and pinched her brother’s cheeks.

“Sis!~”

While the idiot siblings were messing around, the only one who was uninvolved and observing the fight the entire time could see it best.

“Sigh, my god, what kind of group is this?” Tom sighed while walking behind everyone else.

Tonight, his eyes were really opened… the idiot siblings who possessed the wizard’s bloodline but are unaware, the youth who never revealed his true strength and just flirts around, as well as his maid and lover, lastly, a tomboy who suddenly awoke her maiden’s heart…

Isn’t this team too strange!

“But perhaps it’s only strange people like them that can go on to do great things.”

Darkness, the enlightened, the living dead… Lin Xiao led their team from one ordeal to the next, yet they were always able to get out of it unscathed. Perhaps even Lin Xiao himself was unaware of how shocking of a thing he was doing.

Making an enemy of an entire cult alone?

Although Tom didn’t know the details about the enlightened society but just based on what they have done in Gotham Kingdom was enough to show their immense strength.

What will happen to go against an organization like that?

“Lin Xiao, I’m curious how you’ll turn out in the future.”

To Tom, for a genius that is smart and strong like Lin Xiao, there will probably be two possibilities for his future.

One is encountering a failure and then drifting aimlessly through life spending his life normally. Perhaps having some cute babies, which will probably be happy and relaxing.

The other is a great victory, he’ll change history and become a great hero respected by everyone!

“Which one will it be?”

If it was up to Lin Xiao to choose, based on his personality and likes, he would definitely choose the former.

That was different from Caesar.

But for some reason, he stepped onto this path…

“Lin Xiao, from the moment you stepped onto this path, your future is no longer under your control… how could a person destined to become a legend just drift through life?”

Looking back at the piles of living dead corpses and thinking back at all the unimaginable scenes he has seen, he couldn’t help but think of something he heard before.

Heroes are created out of necessity.

…

Everyone hurried along and finally arrived at Yellowstone before dawn.

“Where should we go?”

Finally entering the city, everyone became vigilant and prepared for battle.

But… where were the enemies?

Yellowstone wasn’t big, but finding Caesar wouldn’t be easy. Especially since they were all hiding from the enemies.

“I can sense them… they’re right ahead of us!”

Thankfully, the human-shaped magic radar Elena was with them!

She pointed at the square in the center of the town and brought everyone along.

While they were running, Lin Xiao started thinking. Was Caesar that brave to hide right there? And the square was right in front of them, but they still haven’t seen anyone yet.

But… there’s no way Elena could be wrong.

While everyone was confused, there was an intense rumbling that came from the square.

“What? Underground?”

All of a sudden, a deep pit appeared within their view and at the same time, a wave of living dead surged out.

…

…

One hour ago

Yellowstone

Caesar carefully led his team through the pitch-black tunnels.

Yellowstone was once a large-scale mine that produced various ores and gradually developed into the city that it was now after the mines were abandoned. After so many years, there weren’t many people that still remembered that there were countless deep and winding mine tunnels hidden under the city.

Thankfully Caesar remembered and they were able to survive until now due to the rugged mines and tunnels.

At the time, they were following the clues to Yellowstone and finally found something useful hidden in a laboratory but ended up being suddenly ambushed by the living dead.

In the beginning, there weren’t a lot of them, so they just thought it was some monster created by a madman that was studying black magic, but there were more and more enemies and they couldn’t kill all of them, they also failed several times when they tried to escape and in the end, they were trapped in Yellow stone and were playing hide-and-seek with the enemies.

But how long could they hide? There were more and more of the living dead, and they would soon completely block the entire city. Even if they hid in the mines, they would be blocked from all sides and would eventually suffocate underground.

The only good news was that they still had a ray of hope!

“Everyone, please dont give up, wasn’t Tom able to escape? I believe that he’ll come to save us!”

A bunch of people held onto dim torches as they trudged through the pitch-black tunnels. Seeing how dispirited everyone was, Rosie clenched her fist and loudly encouraged them.

“Miss, I know you want to encourage us, but you don’t need to lie, we all understand.”

Hearing her words, no one bought it and some even said more demoralizing things.

“That damn coward sure ran fast, don’t even think about him coming to help us!”

“Hm, although he may be a bit cowardly, but he’s reliable, and even if he can’t, he can bring help!”

“Help? Hmph, are you expecting that idiot Claire to come to help us?”

“That camp the tomboy is commanding might be able to do a thing or two, but they’re too inexperienced. If she carries out a rescue mission, she’ll probably just get herself killed!”

It had to be said, although they were complaining, their words were pretty accurate. Claire did indeed lack experience and almost got herself killed. Thankfully she had a reliable leader, that promiscuous one…

“Wuu… why are you guys saying that?”

Although Rosie wanted to boost morale, the helpless reality made them despair.

“Miss, I think we only have one way out of this!” Someone in the group boldly made a suggestion.

“What?”

“Throw that damn thing away!”

“Throw away?”

Rosie paused and then understood what they were saying.

Along with that suggestion, everyone stopped. Caesar who was silently leading everyone also stopped and took out a small black cube from the bag on his waist.

“You’re saying… to throw this away?”
