Seeing that Lu Saling didn't say anything but didn't resist his coquetry either, Xia Lin stepped up his efforts. Finally, Lu Saling sighed helplessly. "I promise you. Can you let me sleep quietly? I have a lot of work to do tomorrow."
Xia Lin rubbed against Lu Saling's chest. "Great! Then I won't bother you. You really have so much work!"
"Yeah... because the work from last month was postponed to this..." As he was speaking, the Demon King fell asleep. He must be really tired.
The next day, not long after Xia Lin woke up and was getting dressed, he heard the system's voice. [Mission completed. Lu Saling's黑化 value has decreased by 7 points. The current黑化 value is 73 points.]
So fast! Lu Saling is indeed a Demon King who keeps his word! I must thank him!
Xia Lin already knew where the Demon King usually worked. He chose to go to see the Demon King around noon because that was when the Demon King's working hours ended, and Xia Lin going there wouldn't disturb him.
Due to Xia Lin's special status, the demon servants in the palace where the Demon King worked wouldn't stop him when they saw him. He walked straight into the Demon King's office without any hindrance.
"What are you doing here?" The Demon King looked up from the sofa at Xia Lin, a bit puzzled, then lay back down again. Xia Lin said, "I'm so happy that I couldn't wait to come here right away to thank you. Thank you for agreeing to my request last night."
After saying that, Xia Lin knelt on one knee and for the first time bowed to the Demon King very solemnly. The Demon King stared at him in surprise. Then Xia Lin walked up to him and said, "Actually, I know how to give massages. Do you want me to give you one to relieve your fatigue?" He wondered if it would work on demons. But since demons looked so much like humans, it should work, right?
"Massage?" Although he didn't understand the meaning of this word, the Demon King thought his little pet just wanted to be coquettish with him. It seemed that ordering Amonstice to release those humans early this morning had really made this little guy very happy.
"Alright, I allow you to be coquettish."
"Massage isn't being coquettish." Xia Lin murmured to himself and started massaging Lu Saling's temples. Sure enough, Lu Saling soon showed a comfortable expression.
"Your... massage is quite good. Do it for me again in the future!"
Xia Lin smiled and joked, "Sure, as long as you agree to my requests again."
The Demon King snorted a few times. "We'll see. Don't think that I'll break my principles just because of your coquetry."
Really? Xia Lin curled his lips. Haven't you already broken your principles? But for the sake of the noble Demon King's face, Xia Lin decided to say nothing.
When his fingers were sore from massaging, Xia Lin looked down and saw that Lu Saling was asleep, breathing evenly. He actually fell asleep in front of him without any defense? Although he was human, he was also a human who knew magic and had been taught since childhood how to target the weaknesses of other races.
Did the Demon King think he was too weak to be a threat even though he knew magic? Or... did the Demon King trust him very much? Thinking of the latter, Xia Lin felt his heart tingle. No, don't be self - indulgent. Maybe it was just because the Demon King didn't take his combat ability seriously.
After the Demon King woke up, he "invited" Xia Lin to have afternoon tea with him. Xia Lin's food was black tea and brown sugar cakes. Sugar and tea were precious supplies that only very wealthy nobles or merchants could afford in this era.
