Chapter 1232: Chapter 555: Humiliated!!!

Then—she got a big shock!

"Ah! How did you...cough!"

She almost shot up from the lounge chair like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. The movement was too abrupt, she didn’t breathe evenly, and she choked on her own saliva, making her face turn red with embarrassment and bringing tears to her eyes.

Cough, cough!

The Legendary Demon was coughing violently while clutching her chest and glaring at Herbert with watery eyes, as if he’d committed an unpardonable crime.

Grinding her silver teeth, she spat out angrily:

"What are you doing?!"

Herbert blinked, quite surprised and asked:

"Hey? Is it okay?"

?

Kreti snapped back to reality, eyes wide open, looking at him in disbelief.

"Huh???"

What the heck are you talking about?

Do you remember that you’re a Paladin!!?

"Tch, can’t be bothered with you!"

To cover up the turmoil inside, Kreti quickly turned her head, giving him the back of her head coupled with a big eye roll.

She pretended to be calm, trying to steer the topic into a safe zone, half redirecting, half complaining: "By the way, why do you keep appearing suddenly? Don’t you know it’s frightening!"

Don’t you know about personal space?

It’s fine if I’m just zoning out here.

If I were doing something else here when you showed up, wouldn’t I be super embarrassed!

"Something else"—this vague reference made Kreti’s heart skip a beat again, instantly bringing up some more private, unspeakable scenarios in her mind.

Hiss!

Stop it! Stop it now!

Stupid mind, stop thinking!

No, no no no.

If you really saw that kind of thing...wouldn’t I have to just kill myself?

A sudden fear of social death seized her.

No way, this guy can’t find out what I’m thinking!

"Don’t get worked up, don’t get worked up!"

Herbert, after making a joke, showed a satisfied expression, seemingly enjoying her flustered and guilty look.

"Just joking, why are you so tense?"

He shrugged casually, pointed in the direction he came from, and explained seriously:

"Moreover, I didn’t appear suddenly; I called out to you before walking over, but you were so spaced out that you didn’t notice me."

"Why were you spacing out just now?"

Questioned by Herbert, Kreti seemed a bit guilty, her gaze wandering sideways.

She pursed her lips wanting to say something, but ultimately held back, mumbling awkwardly: "Why do you even care?"

This almost admitted, "I’m thinking about something, something I can’t tell you."

Tch.

Even if you found out, so what?

Do you expect to know exactly what I’m thinking?

Dream on!

No way I’d tell you I was just thinking about you.

Miss Devil’s inner monologue played out intensely once again.

Kreti worked hard to maintain an appearance of indifference and impatience, trying to build a psychological barrier.

I was just thinking academically about what name would be nice if a human and demon hybrid child were born, nothing else messy...

No way, absolutely no way.

There’s no way I’d ever tell you about this in my lifetime!

I’d tell anyone but not you.

You’ll never get the truth!

She made a firm vow in her heart, as if that would guard her little secret.

["In my opinion, this little demon just now was... no! Definitely thinking about you."]

As Herbert observed Kreti’s rich variety of expressions, Nenasha’s teasing and confident voice sounded in his mind.

This self-proclaimed "mind expert" Miss Xie Shen could assert it.

This shameless demon, she was surely daydreaming!

"Hmm."

The true master of mind reading also agreed, saying calmly: "I know, I saw it at a glance."

Herbert felt completely unruffled, even really wanted to laugh.

Kreti’s little thoughts were almost all written on her expressive face and restless gestures, clear to him as an open book.

"She was probably thinking about something inappropriate for kids, too embarrassed to say it."

Hah.

Your little dirty thoughts, as if I wouldn’t know?

Me, I’ve long been used to this.

No need to guess, you’re surely craving my body!

Determined to want to beat me until I kneel, then capture me and use me hard as Star Fury Power!

["If you knew, why not expose her then?"]

With her usual tendency to stir trouble, Nenasha excitedly stoked the fire, seemingly looking forward to seeing the scene of Kreti dying from embarrassment.

["Shouldn’t you expose her on the spot, then use it to threaten her, saying ’If you don’t want anyone to know, be obedient!’, then possess her and have fun!"]

?

Herbert was taken aback by this overly "blunt" and "comprehensive" suggestion from Miss Xie Shen.

No way, this familiar procedure...when did you go to study in Japan?

This isn’t right, how come you have a complete set of operations?

If my mind weren’t strong, wouldn’t you lead me astray?

Too bad, you picked the wrong person!

I am a Paladin! (in a loud voice)
