Chapter 112: Maid’s Leash
Using a magic crystal that can store Lin Xiao’s magic power to bypass the restrictions of the slave contract, the method couldn’t really give Elena freedom, it could only allow her to move freely within a limited area.
The amount stored in the magic crystal was only enough to allow her to go to the outskirts of the city, it wasn’t enough for her to leave too far from Winterless City. It was still a problem if she went too far, Lin Xiao was worried that she would wander too far.
Every time he gave her the magic crystal, Lin Xiao warned her carefully like an old woman, afraid that she would get hotheaded and escape Winterless City, so it was difficult for Elena to forget even if she wanted to.
“What an annoying guy!” Just thinking of Lin Xiao’s crafty and repulsive face made Elena curse inwardly.
In order to control her whereabouts absolutely, Lin Xiao didn’t fill the magic crystal full on purpose, each time he only filled it half way. He calculated it carefully, and ensured that the magic crystal will run out within 12 hours, that way, Elena would leave with a magic crystal in the morning and had to come back at night to replenish it. She couldn’t even run away if she wanted to, she had to obediently return back to her master’s side, otherwise she would die.
Norminally, the magic crystal gave Elena freedom, but in reality, it was only a leash on her neck, and on the other end of the leash was Lin Xiao firmly grasping it, never letting go.
“You’re my maid! How could I let you run away?” That was how Lin Xiao explained his despicable behavior.
However, whether it was Elena or Lin Xiao himself, the two didn’t notice something strange. Remember when they first met, Lin Xiao looked forward to drive Elena away.
Lin Xiao actually already knew about the possible uses with the magic crystal, and at the start, he didnt see the magic crystal as a leash to keep Elena in check, but a fatal trap to kill Elena with!
