Yu Lin Bloodhawk read the letter, chuckling delightedly as he went.
Hahahahaha! So this girl finally had her day! Should I play Guanyin Bodhisattva and ease her troubles, or pile a little more weight onto her worries and give her a scare?
As he chuckled, Yu Lin Bloodhawk thought to himself, So much for keeping an enemy around to make yourself indispensable. Her little imitation backfired! Instead of nurturing a petty foe, she raised a tiger. This is hilarious! How furious would Daelin get if he knew the truth?
Yu Lin Bloodhawk grinned foolishly as he imagined Daelin's exasperated face.
"You seem very happy. Did your lover confess her feelings to you?" the succubus asked cautiously when she saw his silly grin.
"She's my sister-in-law, not my lover!" Yu Lin Bloodhawk said with a laugh.
"Then why are you so happy?" the succubus asked in bewilderment.
"Because she's having a miserable time. She got herself into trouble and wrote to me because she was upset." Yu Lin Bloodhawk laughed even more happily.
"She's having a miserable time and feeling troubled, so why are you happy about it?" The succubus could not understand.
"Exactly! I'm happy precisely because I know she's not doing well!" Yu Lin Bloodhawk replied cheerfully. "That girl finally gave me something to smile about."
"You hate her?" the succubus asked, blinking her large eyes.
"No!" Yu Lin Bloodhawk said.
"I don't understand!" The succubus shook her head in confusion. "If you don't hate her, why would seeing her suffer make you so happy?"
"Uh... well... well... does hating someone have anything to do with enjoying her misfortune?" Yu Lin Bloodhawk asked blankly.
"Doesn't it?" the succubus asked.
"I suppose... there might be a tiny connection..." Yu Lin Bloodhawk said, lightly scratching his cheek with two fingers.
