“Phew, thank goodness.”
Looking at the Head Chef, who was still setting out the food, Lin Ling collapsed directly onto the dining table, her entire body seemingly melting into a puddle of liquid.
“The Demon King's stunt this morning almost overloaded Miss Saintess's super-brain.
Even though my super-brain seems to have gone into sleep mode a long time ago, that's not important.”
The Head Chef looked at Lin Ling, who had teleported directly into her seat in the dining room and slumped onto the table.
“Mm...”
Soon after, several of her favorite breakfast items appeared in front of Lin Ling.
“Sniff, sniff~”
“Nom~”
Smelling the breakfast that had appeared before her, Lin Ling unceremoniously unleashed a bite on the jam-covered bread.
“Ah, being able to eat a bite of delicious bread made by the Head Chef in the morning is truly one of the happiest moments in Miss Saintess's life.”
In no time, the bread in front of Lin Ling was completely wiped out.
When the Head Chef came out of the kitchen again, he almost dropped the tray in his hands.
He had clearly placed nearly five pieces of bread in front of Miss Saintess, and in the short time it took him to return to the kitchen to grab some refreshments, the bread had vanished in an instant?
“Sigh, I really don't know what Miss Saintess's stomach is made of.”
The Head Chef was quite curious about how Miss Saintess's slender body could fit those pieces of bread. He looked down at the milk he had brought for Lin Ling.
Did she not even need milk to wash it down?
But in the end, the Head Chef didn't ask. Although eating four or five pieces of bread in one meal was perfectly normal for a demon, had Miss Saintess's constitution begun to develop toward that of a demon?
Hearing footsteps approaching from outside, the Head Chef silently retreated to the kitchen.
“Yo~ soulmate, long time no see. Well... though it hasn't actually been that long.”
Kainster, walking into the dining room, immediately spotted Lin Ling sitting alone at the table, eating at high speed.
“Oh! Kainster, long time no see!”
Seeing Kainster walking toward her, Lin Ling quickly swallowed the food in her mouth to greet him.
“Your Highness, you should be more dignified. It seems you have indeed been lacking in etiquette education these past few days.”
Just as the two of them were about to have a long-awaited reunion between soulmates, Kainster heard the voice he least wanted to hear.
“Ahaha, Zona, long time no see for you too.”
Seeing Lin Ling, who was still walking toward him and ready for a hug, Kainster smilingly changed direction and walked toward Zona at the doorway.
“Oh, my dear Aide, I have missed you terribly during the few days you were gone.”
Watching Kainster walk toward her with a smile, Zona felt the veins on her forehead throb violently. With a stiff, fake smile, she looked at Kainster.
“Oh? Is that so?”
“Why did I hear that a certain Highness had a very fun time playing around these past few days~ You must have almost forgotten that I, your aide, even exist.”
Kainster, who had almost reached Zona, could even hear the sound of knuckles cracking as she clenched her fists.
This is bad, extremely bad!
Kainster's footsteps slowed down instantly, and he began to shuffle forward like a snail.
“What's the matter, dear Prince? Didn't you say you missed your aide terribly?”
Zona flashed a polite smile and opened her arms, waiting for Kainster's hug.
But that smile, combined with the terrifying dark aura seemingly radiating from Zona, was downright terrifying, dammit!
Kainster instantly adjusted his target for the hug, plastering a smile on his face as he quickly walked back toward Lin Ling.
“Ahaha, ahaha, I think I should still give my soulmate a reunion hug first. Right, soulmate?”
The smile on Kainster's face as he walked toward Lin Ling this time was incredibly fake.
A look of disgust instantly appeared on Lin Ling's face at Kainster's behavior.
“Soulmate, you have become very fake.”
With that, Lin Ling got into the stance for a Danasuo Flying Kick. Although she didn't know why, in this situation, it felt like Miss Saintess had no choice but to do this.
Then, under Kainster's despairing gaze, the Danasuo—no, the Saintess Flying Kick saved the world once again?
Kainster took the kick dead-on and flew straight toward Zona.
Seeing Kainster flying toward her, a savage smile appeared on Zona's face. The next second, she caught the incoming Kainster perfectly.
“Crack!”
“What a shy Prince. Why are you buried in my chest, unwilling to leave~”
Even as she spoke, Zona hugged the Kainster in her arms even tighter under Lin Ling's terrified gaze.
Except every time she tightened her embrace, the sound of cracking bones would echo from the Kainster in her arms.
【That is the sound of bones cracking! It must be!】
As Lin Ling watched Kainster turn pale gray in Zona's arms, a ghostly soul began to drift out of his mouth.
She could even hear him calling out to her.
“Soulmate! Look! I'm flying! Soulmate...”
“Alright, playtime is over, Miss Saintess.”
Phelan's voice came from behind Zona at the doorway. In the next instant, Phelan, holding a recording stone in his hand, appeared behind Zona.
Seeing Phelan appear behind her, Zona immediately let go of Kainster and bowed to Phelan.
“Phelan...”
“First, let's introduce our plan to Miss Saintess. We will be needing Miss Saintess's power next.”
Phelan stopped Zona from addressing him further, using wind magic to pull her upright from her bow.
“You need me? Is there a problem with the magic array?”
Lin Ling was a bit puzzled when she heard Phelan's words.
“I'll be the one to explain this.”
Zona could see that Phelan was a bit embarrassed to bring this up.
“Regarding your Holy Light Stasis, we have thought of some possibilities for improvement. Therefore, we would like you to cooperate with us to refine it.
Of course, we don't mean to imply that your skill is currently lacking in any way.”
Zona bowed in Lin Ling's direction after saying this.
After all, telling the owner of a unique skill directly that you want to improve their skill was highly impolite.
“Ah?”
Lin Ling wore a puzzled expression upon hearing that her skill could actually be improved.
“It can actually be improved?! Then there's no time to lose, let's go do it right now!”
After being briefly puzzled, Lin Ling immediately looked excited. As she spoke, she rushed forward to grab Zona's hand, instantly intending to teleport.
“P-Please, wait a moment!”
Before she could even process her shock at Lin Ling's attitude toward the matter, Zona hurriedly held down Lin Ling, who was preparing to cast teleportation magic.
“We also need to bring Miss Leticia along.”
As she spoke, Zona glanced at Phelan beside her.
This was completely different from what Lord Phelan had anticipated.
What they felt was that Miss Saintess's application of her own skills actually seemed a bit rigid?
It was as if her magic came out of a fixed, pre-set template.
