10. Pretending to be young
update icon Updated at 2023/6/19 17:41:16

"Qianqian, you're dressed so simply. It's a pity that you're so beautiful but don't dress up a bit," Bai Ya said disappointingly to Leticia as they waited for the bus at the bus stop outside the residential area. She had thought that she would see another side of Qianqian today. However, Qianqian still appeared to be a homebody with no inclination to dress up.

Wearing a white T-shirt with the word "Demon King" printed on the back and a pair of slightly loose long pants, this was Leticia's outfit for the day. "There's nothing to regret. When did you, Bai Ling, start having a hobby of acting young?" Leticia rolled her eyes, and at this moment, Bai Ling, standing beside her, was dressed like a high school girl in a school uniform.

If Leticia remembered correctly, Bai Ling should be at least 25 years old by now. Wearing such clothes at this age was quite shameless in her opinion. "Do you have any objections?" Bai Ling's hands were tucked in her waist pockets, and her cold face gave Leticia a faint sense of handsomeness.

"Because this is the only set of clothes I could find at home..." Bai Ya explained softly. Bai Ling had very few clothes, and it took Bai Ya a long time to find a piece that was suitable for her. Although this outfit was Bai Ling's high school uniform from years ago, Bai Ya was pleasantly surprised to find that her sister looked exactly the same as she did seven years ago when she wore it.

It was as if her sister's time had been frozen at that most youthful and dazzling moment. "Nowadays, online shopping is so convenient, why not just buy clothes online?" Leticia suggested. Even Cher bought clothes for her online. "That would not be as meaningful. My sister is finally back home, and I want to take her out shopping properly," Bai Ya said seriously, counting on her fingers, "My sister has been away for four years, and many things have changed here."

"Yes, the park over there has turned into an office building, and the nearby primary school has been demolished..." Bai Ling had a good memory, and she had noted down all the changes in their neighborhood on her way back home. "Also, there's a new neighbor I don't really want to see."

"Hey, if you don't like it, why don't you just move away?" Leticia was annoyed. It was as if she was someone everyone disliked. At the very least, she had a pleasing appearance, right? Unlike Bai Ling, who always had a sour face.

"Stop arguing, you two!" Sensing that the two girls were about to start arguing again, Bai Ya quickly tugged at her sister's clothes. "Look, the bus is coming." No wonder Qianqian didn't like her sister. With her poor communication skills, which girl could bear it?

"Is it this bus?" Leticia asked. Since moving here, she had hardly left the house, so she didn't know where the bus was headed. "Yes, it's this one," Bai Ya hopped onto the bus and swiped her transportation card three times.

"I didn't expect you would need your sister to pay for your bus ride," Leticia taunted. "Aren't you the same?" Bai Ling responded without any hint of politeness. "Heh."

There were plenty of empty seats on the bus, so Leticia naturally chose a window seat. Bai sisters chose to sit in front of her. The bus slowly started moving, with the scenery outside the window gradually receding back.

As time passed by, the view outside Leticia's window transitioned from a quiet street to a bustling city. "Central City..." Leticia compared the architecture of her memories of Demon King City to this city and found, somewhat helplessly, that human builders were incredibly skilled when compared to those of Demon.

If only her Demon King City could be as vibrant and beautiful as this place. Bai Ling, who was sitting in front of Leticia, was also staring blankly out the window. In her memory, this place had just been a small market, but after just four years of time passed, it had transformed into a bustling cityscape."Garden Square Station, we've arrived..."

"Sister, sister Qianqian, we should get off now." Bai Ya's voice woke up the two girls who were lost in their thoughts.

As she stood up from her seat, Leticia whispered to Bai Ling, "Your achievements are quite impressive."

Bai Ling's pupils trembled for a moment, and she was surprised that Leticia would actually praise her.

Then, as usual, she shook her head indifferently, "I just did what I was supposed to do."

She just tried her best to keep the conflicts away from the human world. As for these achievements, they should be attributed to everyone here, not just her.

"Let's go, don't keep Xiao Ya waiting."

"Tsk." Leticia snorted. She had finally praised this girl, but there was no reaction from her, which was really boring.

Following Bai Ling off the bus, looking at the bustling pedestrians on the road, Leticia couldn't help but frown.

Aren't there too many people?

"Where are we going?" she asked.

Bai Ling glanced at her sister, and she would listen to her sister.

"There's a new mall that recently opened here, and they're having a promotion, so let's go there." Bai Ya smiled and took out a promotional flyer from her bag.
