Chapter 416 – The Old Hen Who Protects Her Young

“Hehe, it’s something good that you’ll definitely like… come here, let me tell you.”

Snow beckoned towards Lin Xiao with a smile and called him over.

“Why are you acting so mysteriously…”

Lin Xiao leaned over next to Snow and listened to her whispers.

Elena was puzzled at what good thing Snow had to make Lin Xiao concede

With Elena’s understanding of him, there was very little that could be done to change his mind on something he already decided.

Although it looks like he argues with Snow a lot, he actually spoils her.

Rather than a little sister, he treats her more like a daughter.

If he gave her the cursed core then his daughter would be happy but she’ll be in danger, if he doesn’t, then she’ll be angry, but she’ll be safe and won’t get targeted.

As a qualified loving father, how could he let his daughter be exposed to danger He would rather be misunderstood rather than pass this hot potato to Snow!

Furthermore…

Looking at Lin Xiao’s cloudy and uncertain face, Elena looked down at her own hands with complicated feelings.

Her hands were still warm from earlier.

She wasn’t just saying that she would be Lin Xiao’s helper, she didn’t know from when it started but she subconsciously changed her own position and she was no longer the forced helpless maid, but truly became one of Lin Xiao’s people.

Lin Xiao was resolute to Snow that he would protect his maid and she subconsciously stood next to Lin Xiao, that kind of thing would be unimaginable before.

Forgetting his sister after getting a maid, in a certain sense, Snow was right.

Even if Elena wasn’t willing to admit it, that’s the way things were.

So Elena trusted that Lin Xiao wouldn’t change his decision because of Snow’s sugar-coated bomb.

The enlightened society was their enemy, how could involve Snow who was innocent

“Snow, so you mean… let me think about it.”

Lin Xiao hesitated after hearing what Snow said and looked shaken as he looked back at Elena.

Wait… what’s going on

Elena panicked a bit.

She was just full of confidence in Lin Xiao and thought that he could resist the temptation, but his gaze was like a slap to her face!

What was it that tempted him so, was it some amazing weapon Or some secret magic

“Brother, how about that Give me the black core in exchange if you want it, there won’t be a chance like this again! I won’t give it to you later on even if you want it!”

“Uh, I do want it… but I’m worried about you being targeted, what if…” Lin Xiao held the core and clenched his other hand.

“Worried Hm… y-you’re finally willing to tell the truth!”

Snow finally heard the truth about how her brother was worried about her, not only was she not touched, she was angry like a rebellious daughter.

“I just knew that you were still treating me like a kid! In your opinion, I can’t deal with those enlightened bastards and that’s why you’re not giving the black core to me, right”

“Well, after all…”

“I’m just a useless blind kid after all!” Snow interrupted him and angrily exploded, “Don’t think that I’ll need to rely on your protection forever! Stinking brother, I’m even more amazing than you, you cant look down on me anymore!”

“… Snow”

“Hmph, did you think I came empty-handed Not afraid to tell you… but I brought a group of crucifix guards! I already suspected that the enlightened were involved with the plague so I specially asked for them from the old man and made them dress as normal believers to escort me… if those bastards try anything, I’ll kill them all!”

Snow became more and more excited as her voice became slightly hoarse towards the end, and she repeatedly brought her little fists down on Lin Xiao’s chest.

Lin Xiao grabbed her arms and tried to comfort her while turning to look at Elena, she understood and used her perception to quickly find the crucifix guards that were in disguise and then nodded.

After being confirmed, Lin Xiao finally understood Snow’s thoughts, she didn’t really want to snatch his black core, she just wanted to prove herself to him.

Looking at Snow’s flushed cheeks and teary eyes, Lin Xiao suddenly remembered the past.

At that time they were both very poor and could only live in a rundown house in the countryside and they had to live difficultly while depending on each other.

Snow wasn’t yet adjusted to life without her eyesight along with an injury, so Lin Xiao told her to stay home and didn’t let her out much.

Even if she wanted to play outside, she had to go with him.

It seems to start from then, Snow began to show signs of rebellion.

She hated being worried for like a useless disabled person and didn’t want to be overly spoiled.

From what he remembered, they fought a lot over this, and once a tragedy almost occurred too…

That day, Snow was tired of her brother’s disgusting cooking and wanted to cook herself.

Lin Xiao didn’t let her, so she sneaked into the kitchen when he was away and tried cooking, since she was blind and not experienced in a kitchen, she lit the house on fire and almost burned to death.

Thankfully Lin Xiao just advanced to a second-level magician and knew some water magic and was able to extinguish the fire on time.

The fire may have been extinguished, but the flames in Snow’s heart continued to burn… after that incident, Snow gave Lin Xiao the cold shoulder for over a month, and he had to buy a lot of her favorite foods before they got back on good terms.

Though Snow went overboard, Lin Xiao knew he overly spoiled her, he tried changing multiple times but every time there was trouble, his first reaction was to act like a hen protecting her chicks and hide Snow under his wings so that she wouldn’t get injured.

Lin Xiao thought that after being apart for so long, he would have already changed, but it seems like he was still the same and made Snow cry again.

Thinking about it… perhaps that was also one of the reasons why Snow left him to join the Holy Light Church.

That’s right, he didn’t need to worry that much, this cute chick was already grown up and was already more outstanding than her brother.

“Sorry Snow… I’ll hand this over to you, I trust you.”

Lin Xiao sighed and opened her small hand while placing the black core in it and then gently stroking her head.

“Do you really trust me”

“Ah… since you know how dangerous it is and made the preparations beforehand, then what more do I have to worry about”

“Hmph, so you finally understand Wouldn’t it have been better if you realized earlier You just had to make me cry…”

Snow clenched the small bag in her hands and wanted to pound him again, but her small hands were caught.

“Promise me that you won’t force yourself, it’s fine even if you hand the black core over.

Don’t be as stubborn as that time… you just had to cook yourself and almost burned yourself to death, how embarrassing, eh.”

“W-what! Why do you still remember that! Didn’t you promise me that you’ll forget about it!”

“Eh Did I say that”

“Definitely!”

“Oh, I did forget.”

“Then why did you mention it again”

“Because I didn’t just forget about that, I also forgot that I promised to forget about it, so… sigh, my memory is just that bad, haha.”

“Bastard! How dare you!”

Snow had enough of his shameless sophistry and wanted to hit him again, but he continued to gently stroke her head and that comforting feeling soothed her.

After immersing herself in his warmth for a while, the argument naturally abated.

“Hmph, just you wait stupid brother, one day I’ll make you look up to me! Elona, give that thing to him!”

“Yes, master!”

Elona rushed outside and called some people over and hastily brought over a box prepared beforehand and handed it over to Lin Xiao.

“Stupid brother, you go back on your words, but I always keep my word… I’ve given it to you as you wish.

I don’t care how you use it, but I’m warning you… don’t be overconfident, be careful of getting yourself killed!”

“Don’t worry, I won’t.”

“Hmph, still that confident… then we’ll see! Elona, call them over, we’re heading back!”

“Yes, master!”

Elona secretly waved toward Elena before leaving, and after getting a slight smile and nod, she ran to carry out Snow’s orders.

And so, only Lin Xiao and Elena were left in the room.

“Hey, what is that”

Unable to contain her curiosity, Elena quietly asked.

“Do you want to know”

“… I don’t.”

“Hehe, actually, this is for you, so I was going to tell you even if you didn’t ask.”

“Hm, for me”
