Chapter 52 Chapter 52 It wasn’t the first time she felt it, but it became more and more…
“…Headband?”
It wasn't an excessive request; it could even be described as simple. Lin Miao paused for only a second before reaching behind her head with her left hand. With a flick of her fingertips, she ripped the silk ribbon holding her hair.
The purple, thin silk was wrapped around her knuckles. Before handing it to the little devil, Lin Miao asked, "You won't use it..." to do anything bad, right?
"I won't use this headband." The Q-version devil's face is full of innocence, making it hard to imagine that such a cute creature could have any bad intentions.
So it’s just for collection? Lin Miao felt relieved.
"Now, can you tell me?"
"Naturally, it's according to Miaomiao's idea, to stir up conflict between her and the Light Association." An Wei got what he wanted and answered straightforwardly, "Just say that they've indeed detected a strong Light Favor in you, and between the lines, they suggest they want to bypass her and support you."
"Klopp and Tittis have been colluding with each other more than once or twice. He's using his position as Vice President of the Guild of Light to force women. I'm afraid he doesn't have much devotion to Heaven. Would she believe your words?"
"Although Klopp is greedy and unscrupulous, he also has a very useful 'advantage' - he is timid and obedient."
An Weidao said, "From Fed's memory, before Borat went into seclusion, Klopp was almost completely obedient to him, strictly following all his instructions."
The little devil winked at her cutely. "Superiors in the association have special ways of communicating with their subordinates, but Mrs. Capet can't contact Borat. I just need to reveal a little bit..."
What a great trick of shifting the blame to someone else without any evidence. He is indeed an excellent subordinate that she had personally taught in her previous life.
Lin Miao gave himself a thumbs up.
"You did it perfectly... What about my letter to Lady Cecia?"
"...It's delivered." When mentioning this, An Wei puffed up his face and waved his paw reluctantly.
An exquisite mirror appeared in Lin Miao's other hand, and she immediately recognized it as Le Gong's sound transmission mirror.
"Chexia gave it to you. That woman hadn't even opened the letter yet, but she said there were many rare treasures in the palace's treasury. When Miaomiao goes in, she must remember to bring her a few..."
“…rare treasures?” Lin Miao’s eyes flickered.
For a super-invincible capitalist like the owner of Le Palace, what other treasures in the world could she be interested in?
"Greed." This is how the greedy head defined his colleagues.
"She also said that if Miaomiao had any urgent matters, she could use this mirror to contact her." An Wei selectively omitted a lot of sarcasm that Cecia said when she saw him, such as "You have come to this day too", and her deep concern for the human lady, and only talked about what he thought was "important".
"If it's nothing serious, there's no need to contact her."
...She had no idea how much selfishness was hidden in the last sentence.
"I understand." Lin Miao believed in Cesia's ability and also believed in the loyalty of Beelzebub and Mammon.
She believed that her past life self had a keen eye for picking out demons.

One day left to the wedding.
Capet Manor is particularly chaotic today, but it is different from the joyful and lively chaos before his daughter's wedding.
First, Daisy Cape had a sudden high fever, and the family doctor couldn't diagnose the cause, so he just prescribed some cooling and fever-reducing medicine for her to take while she stayed in bed.
During lunch, the food served by the maid did not seem to suit Mrs. Capet's taste. The lady, who was always dignified, elegant and polite, actually reached out and knocked over the dishes.
The white porcelain hit the ground with a crackling sound, accompanied by her sharp and loud rebuke, like the noise made by nails scraping against glass.
The maid knelt on the ground and apologized and begged for mercy. The Duke of Capet frowned, but the eldest son of Capet ignored it all indifferently and ate the food on his plate quietly.
The maid was slapped several times by Tittis and her face was swollen. However, she was still not satisfied and directed her anger at her son Perli, listing every detail, from his poor academic performance in his youth to his failure to achieve anything and win the favor of His Majesty after he entered the palace treasury as an adult.
The Duke put down his bowl and chopsticks, probably wanting to persuade her to stop cursing; but as soon as he touched the woman's sleeve, he was given a cold look by his angry wife.
Mrs. Cape's hysteria was the worst kind of hysteria for Lin Miao. Taking advantage of the chaos in the hall and the fact that no one was paying attention to her, she opened her brain panel and went up to the fifth floor, which Daisy had originally said was taboo.
As she expected, the fifth floor, which Daisy openly told her sister was a "forbidden area", was just a trick used by the Capet couple to cover up the real secret of the basement.
But Lin Miao did not gain nothing.
After sensing energy fluctuations and using the skill of "All Things Stop War" to pass through a "wall", Lin Miao discovered a tiny secret room.
There was only a set of tables and chairs in the secret room, as well as the "Encyclopedia of Dark Magic (Advanced)" on the table.
She flipped through it casually, and after seeing the sinister and powerful spells and the densely packed notes from Titis, she had a rough idea in her mind.
Perhaps the reason why Titis was so irritable just now was not only because of the "backstabbing" by the Light Association, but also... the negative impact of casting a spell on her father.
Once the awakened ones use spells beyond their capabilities, they will inevitably suffer corresponding backlash - obviously, Titis, who has never experienced the practice of the magic system, is not able to use any spell in the book with just the favor value.
The relationship between husband and wife in the Capet family, the feud between father and daughter in the Lugo family... Lin Miao's curiosity about the story of thirty years ago reached its peak at night when the little devil Anwei told her that Lugo was under a 'puppet curse'.
"This is a very vicious curse," Anverko explained. "The victim will unknowingly become the caster's 'puppet,' obeying their every command. But after a month, their body will gradually stiffen, eventually turning them into a true puppet."
Lin Miao: "Can you search his memory?"
An Wei paused and said, "There are restrictions. ...A forced search will cause the body to explode."
Fede, Lugo... they really wiped it clean. This was also the reason why she had never let the three-headed dog touch the memories of the Cape family.
"Can you free him from the puppetry's control for a short while?"
"Yes," the little devil said immediately. "Thetis used a high-level spell, and the contract is fragile. As long as Lugo hasn't completely turned into a puppet, I can keep him awake for a while."
Lin Miao chuckled: "That's enough."
When the king "dies unexpectedly", Thetis's puppetry will become her perfect breakthrough.
…
For the first time ever, An Wei did not stay with her to sleep. Lin Miao, who was a little uncomfortable with this, simply turned her gaze to the card pool that had not been used for a long time.
The sleepless night is of course the perfect time to do some exciting things.
Although the drop rate was suspected to be predetermined, Lin Miao still washed his hands, burned incense, and pressed the card drawing button in awe.
The purple light did not flash by like before. Instead, it seemed to be pulled by some invisible force, circling in a spiral above the card pool, rotating slowly upwards, and finally dissipating in the air.
"Skill Extraction: "Strength to Pull Mountains""
"While this skill lasts, your strength will increase or decrease as you wish, making it easy to knock down a demon. Come and try it! (Note: There is no upper limit to your strength, no cooldown, and you can use it at any time.)"
An icon with a strong arm flew to the skill bar, as if showing off the powerful muscles in his arms.
Lin Miao looked at the notes "unlimited power" and "no cooldown period", and felt absurd as if the card pool had secretly upgraded it without the owner's knowledge.
Is she, a "weak woman," finally going to evolve into boxing champion Mike Tyson?!
After the astonishment came great ecstasy. Lin Miao stood with her hands on her hips in triumph, and it was hard not to imagine some beautiful scenes like "If the royal family offends her, she will kick the palace down with one foot."

Zero days left to the wedding.
The sun had not yet risen, and Lin Miao, who was still dreaming of dismantling the palace, was forcibly pulled up. In a daze, she completed a series of operations, including washing, dressing, being stuffed into a carriage and heading to Kassa Castle, where her wedding would be held.
The wedding dress and accessories were delivered to the castle early. The royal family asked her to complete her makeup in Kasha Castle, ride in a golden carriage pulled by six white horses around the castle twice, and finally enter the castle church to complete the wedding ceremony as a sign of grace.
Lin Miao sat quietly in the bride's dressing room, letting the maids busy themselves with dressing her up.
To be fair, the wedding dress sent by the royal family was very beautiful - the skirt was made of moonlight-like misty white satin, and the waist was decorated with flower vines made of large pearls; when the long train was spread out, the silver thread embroidery on the edge looked like the reflection of starlight.
The maid's hair-doing skills were equally superb. The flower-bud bun was neatly tied yet softly, without a single strand of hair out of place, revealing the back of her neck cleanly and refreshingly.
After the last stroke of the eyebrow was completed, the maids packed up their things and left after instructing Lin Miao to stay in her room until the carriage parade and wait for the Seventh Prince to come and greet her.
A few minutes passed, and just as Lin Miao was about to close his eyes, there was a light knock on the door.
It came faster than she thought.
Lin Miao muttered to herself, and following the etiquette taught by the maid, she sat upright with her back to the door and said in a soft voice, "Please come in."
The door was pushed open silently. Lin Miao could feel someone coming in, but the sound of that person's footsteps was almost inaudible.
On the contrary, it was her neck, without the obstruction of her long hair, that easily caught a certain gaze - cold ice silk entangled the hypothermic butterflies, and with an almost scorching heat, it burned the moths.
It was as if he wanted to brand her from the inside out through this small piece of skin.
It wasn't her first time feeling this, but it felt newer and newer, and it always made her scalp tingle.
A helpless smile played on Lin Miao's lips as she waited for the intruder to walk behind her. A thick shadow descended from above, completely covering her.
The man seemed to want to reach out and stroke her shoulders and neck, but Lin Miao suddenly became playful; he opened the panel and clicked the button smoothly. The moment he touched her, Lin Miao silently said to herself, "I must be able to suppress the power of the three-headed dog." She stood up and attacked like lightning.
With just a light press on his shoulder, An Wei felt as if he was crushed by a huge rock as heavy as a mountain. His bones made an unbearable crisp sound, and his knees softened, and he knelt straight on the ground.
"..." Miraculous effect. Lin Miao sighed, and prepared herself for the big dog to question her resentfully.
The big dog kneeling on the ground raised its fierce and handsome face, and the pupils in its dark eyes first formed a straight line, and then expanded rapidly.
The corners of his eyes were red, and his face was filled with wild excitement. "Miaomiao, do you like playing like this?"
"Why are you still wasting your energy... If Miaomiao had just told me, I would have cooperated—"
"Any pose."
