Picked up a Demon King to be a Maid

Chapter 590: Power In Itself Is Not Scary

Yao Zi may be slow in other areas, she was still quite sensitive when it came to the people she cared about.

When she thought about what had happened, Yao Zi could only suspicious of one person, the third apostle Nick!

She remembered that when they were looking fro the sacred crystal fruit and going to help Lin Xiao and ended up being stopped by the living dead army. At that time, she was focused on killing them and Xiao Tian was caught alone by Nick.

Although Nick didnt harm Xiao Tian, but ever since day he changed and became depressed. At first Yao Zi thought he was infected, but after checking him out and was sure he wasnt infected, she could only try communicating with him. But no matter how she asked him, he wouldnt tell her about it, so she was sure that Nick must have said something to him.

But Yao Zi didnt understand, her brother was a thick-thinned idiot that was a bit competitive, how could he be so easily faltered by Nicks words?

Tell your sister, did Nick say something to you at that time?

Hm I know, even if I force you, you wont tell me, but I hope that you understand that hes a bad person! Theres an ulterior motive for everything he says, and he wants to use you! So dont be tricked!

Okay, Im not an idiot, I wont fall for it that easily, but theres something Im curious about.

What?

What is it like to possess such outstanding talent?

Hm why do you ask?

Im actually jealous, Ive always wanted to become a strong magician every since I was a kid. When the other kids were outside playing with mud, I was at home reading those incomprehensible magic books and clumsily mediating to one day become strong! But I suddenly realized I wont be able to achieve that.

Xiao Tian actually told Yao Zi his true feelings, even though she still didnt understand what kind of shock he received to conclude that he would never become a strong magician, but the only things she could do now was to serious answer his question.

Whats it like I guess its a new experience to love and fear.

Yes, the wizards bloodline, the dream of all magicians, of course you would come to love it. But what do you mean by fear?

Of course theres fear! I always thought that I was just a normal girl and would be happy just living peacefully, but someone suddenly told me that I was an extremely rare genius! How could I not be afraid?

In her worldview, strong people only existed within stories. And within those stories, they were unbelievable heroes who would defeat the evil enemies.

Im worried about whether Ill get involved in trouble? If I have to become a hero to defeat those terrifying enemies? Or perhaps someone will find me and then kill me in a cruel way?

Hm wait, you dont have enemies, why would you have to be worried about being killed?

Because, everyones jealous of my wizards bloodline, right? So in order to get it, those bad guys might think of ways to catch me, drink my blood, eat my flesh, and take my power!

Uh thats impossible, it only belongs to you, no one else can take it.

Hehe, I came to know later on. Anyways, I was scared at the time. That feeling of suddenly possessing immense power made me scared. I didnt know whether if I would be able to control it, or would I be controlled by it and make me do something terrible.

Hm, that is indeed a problem

If a normal person suddenly gained an uncontrollable power, it may not be a good thing and will be like an inner demon. That strong power was like an inner demon buried deep inside that may cause her to lose her conscience and common sense.

But you didnt change and are still my kind and gentle sister.

Thanks but thats because of someone, without them, I would surely be consumed.

Is that person brother Xiao?

He, he did indeed help a lot, but its not all him. Hes a good person that taught me how to use my power and understand the importance of control.

Control?

Yes, he said that the strength of the power wasnt important, it was mainly how you used it. After he said that, I finally understood that I wasnt strong enough, even if I had the wizards bloodline, I was still a dumb girl that cant be a hero.

It seems like youre very concerned with him

Of course! He isnt just my friend, but also my teacher! And hes also so strong, unlike a dumb girl like me hell surely become a great hero!

So the dumb girl really likes the great hero?

Yes! I really like him eh? W-what are you talking about!? No, I-I just respect him! Look, hes helped us so much, so naturally I care about him, so I

So you like him!

Xiao Tian rolled his eyes and interrupted his sister and didnt want to listen anymore. Although he didnt want her to leave with another man, but it was different if it was brother Xiao.

But

So other than him, who else helped you so that you werent afraid of your own power?

Of course thats you!

Me?

Yes, you!

But why me? I didnt do anything!

Because youre my brother! Lin Xiao told me that the crucial part of power is how you use it, so if you find the right way to use it, then no matter how strong that power is, it would obediently become my servant and listen to my orders!

So, the way youre using it is

I decided to use this power to protect you, my dear brother! Yao Zi strongly declared, but became embarrassed after saying it and blushed while glancing at Xiao Tian, afraid he was going to make fun of her.

But he wasnt in the mood, because he was thinking about her words and understood her thoughts. Yes, Yao Zi never wanted to become strong, so strength was an unnecessary internal demon that made her afraid, but now she found the right way to use it so the power became her loyal helper.

That was a really delightful epiphany but what can Xiao Tian use his power for?
