"I can sit by myself." Liu Lanyan's dissatisfied voice drew Peng Zhen's attention back, and he turned his gaze back from looking around the Wuchen Palace. He saw Liu Lanyan and the Demon God locked in a stalemate at the table, seemingly arguing about something.
"Lanyan, what did Qin Xiu say to you when she left?" the Demon God asked Liu Lanyan in a serious tone.
Liu Lanyan pursed her lips and answered softly, "I will listen to Master."
“That’s right, since you know, you should behave and not disobey.” The Demon God said this in a very serious tone, but in Peng Zhen’s eyes, it looked more like a wolf in sheep’s clothing trying to lure an innocent lamb.
"Oh," Liu Lanyan hummed reluctantly.
In the first round of negotiations, the demon god emerged victorious.
The demon god sat down triumphantly, then put his arm around Liu Lanyan and pulled her onto his lap. He clasped his arms together and nodded with great satisfaction. The position was just right, and it felt so comfortable to hold her.
Seeing this, Peng Zhen was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped to the ground. Was the Lord tempting an innocent child?
Why does that smile look so sinister?
At this moment, the Demon God was also feeling uneasy, unsure whether Liu Lanyan would really obey and let him hold her.
Liu Lanyan was pretending to be stupid, something he had already figured out, and Liu Lanyan probably knew he had figured it out too.
Both of them have their own agendas and neither is willing to reveal their true intentions first, so testing each other becomes a very skillful thing to do.
Now, the battle between him and Liu Lanyan is no longer just a clash of wits; it involves many other factors, and it remains to be seen who will prevail.
"Lanyan, you don't mind me holding you like this while we eat, do you?" The demon god pressed his advantage and asked.
After asking the question, he didn't forget to remind Liu Lanyan, "Master is showing you affection."
Peng Zhen silently took two steps back, and couldn't help but roll his eyes. Could the Lord not be so shameless?
If you want to abduct Liu Lanyan, just say so, okay?
They went to such lengths, scheming against Liu Lanyan at every turn; they really went to great lengths.
However, the only person in the entire world who could make the Demon God go to such lengths to scheme against her is probably Liu Lanyan.
The methods may not be honorable, but the intentions are more genuine than gold.
"Oh." After hearing the Demon God's words, Liu Lanyan did not struggle and obediently complied.
The demon god even felt Liu Lanyan's body, which had been stiffening, gradually relax and obediently lean against him, which made him feel great.
The demon god glanced at the dishes on the table, but he felt nothing at all.
If Liu Lanyan hadn't been hungry, he would have basically forgotten about eating.
He picked up his chopsticks, took a bite of the dish that looked good, and put it into Liu Lanyan's mouth.
He thought Liu Lanyan would resist, but to his surprise, she obediently opened her mouth and ate everything with his chopsticks.
At first, she was a little unaccustomed to it, and Liu Lanyan's cheeks flushed slightly. She lowered her head shyly, but did not refuse the food offered to her lips.
Seeing Liu Lanyan like this greatly pleased the Demon God, who kept feeding her dishes. Just watching her eat made him interested in these foods that he hadn't touched in a long time.
I suddenly felt an urge to eat and wanted to try what it would feel like to eat it.
Seeing the harmonious scene between Liu Lanyan and the Demon God, Peng Zhen knew it was no longer appropriate for him to stand there.
Turning around, she quietly walked towards the door, deciding to leave this room for the Demon God and Liu Lanyan to be alone.
It seems that the Venerable One still has the upper hand in the contest between Liu Lanyan and the Venerable One. Even if Liu Lanyan is pretending to be stupid, the Venerable One is just going with the flow and using Liu Lanyan's disguise to carry out his own plan.
Liu Lanyan is still too inexperienced to fight against the Lord.
Regardless of Peng Zhen's condition, the Demon God was in a great mood just looking at Liu Lanyan's obedient and adorable appearance.
He tightened his arm around Liu Lanyan's waist and asked softly, "How are the dishes?"
Upon hearing the demon god's question, Liu Lanyan finally looked up, smiled sweetly at him, and said crisply, "No poison."
"No, no poison?" Not only was the Demon God astonished, but even Peng Zhen, who had walked to the door, was stunned. What did that mean?
"Yes, it's not poisonous." Liu Lanyan was afraid that the Demon God hadn't heard her clearly, so she said it loudly and confidently again. When the Demon God ignored her, she pouted her lips in grievance and murmured hesitantly, "Isn't it my duty to test poison for Master?"
Demon God: "..."
With a thud, Peng Zhen tripped over the door frame and fell flat on his back. Even as he saw stars, he was still dazed and confused.
No wonder the Lord has taken a liking to her.
high!
That's brilliant!

Chapter 46: Covert Clash
Test...test for poison?
The demon god's eyes twitched.
How many years has it been since I felt this powerless?
Surprisingly, he experienced it all again after meeting Liu Lanyan.
What was such a warm and intimate contact for him just now turned into a poison test in Liu Lanyan's mouth?
The demon god's lips twitched as he glanced at Peng Zhen, who was lying outside the door: "Find a reliable person to deliver three meals a day."
Peng Zhen has a lot to do, so it's impossible to have him deliver meals every day.
"Yes." Peng Zhen sprang to his feet and quickly left the Dustless Palace.
The scenery of Wuchen Palace is beautiful, and there are many secrets within it. Wuchen Palace is the center of the Venerable Lord's power, but no matter how wonderful Wuchen Palace is, Peng Zhen does not want to stay any longer.
No matter how great the benefits, without life, it's all in vain.
Peng Zhen's thousand-year stay by the Demon God's side was definitely not due to good luck. Therefore, he fully utilized his rationality and left quickly.
It's better not to know things you shouldn't know.
Peng Zhen's every move was naturally observed by the Demon God, who showed a hint of approval in his eyes, proving that he was quite perceptive.
He wouldn't consider Peng Zhen's problem; the biggest problem was the girl in his arms.
Trying to compose himself, he smiled gently at Liu Lanyan in his arms and asked, "Are you full?"
Liu Lanyan shook her head, her big eyes wide open, and said, "Not yet."
"Then keep eating." The demon god placed several dishes in a bowl, handed the small bowl to Liu Lanyan, and told her to eat by herself.
However, he didn't loosen his grip at all; one arm remained wrapped around Liu Lanyan's waist.
Liu Lanyan looked at the dishes in her bowl, her eyes flashing slightly; they were all her favorite foods.
With such delicious food before her, Liu Lanyan naturally didn't hold back and happily began to eat.
Of course, she was happy to have delicious food, but what made her happiest was... haha... seeing the demon god's embarrassed look just now made her feel so good and satisfied!
Anyway, the demon god knew she was pretending to be stupid, so when faced with delicious food, Liu Lanyan didn't care about pretending. It was too much trouble to pretend to eat.
The demon god looked at Liu Lanyan, who was happily eating in his arms, and couldn't help but chuckle to himself.
Is she really that happy that she embarrassed him?
She was inwardly complaining, but seeing Liu Lanyan enjoying her meal so much, a happy smile appeared on her lips. Her slight annoyance was completely masked; wasn't she happy?
Upon officially moving into the Wuchen Palace, Liu Lanyan discovered that her room was separated from the Demon God's by only one wall. Staring at her door for a long time, Liu Lanyan still didn't go in.
Why did she live so close to that hypocritical demon god?
Liu Lanyan's expression remained calm, but the demon god noticed the fleeting impatience in her eyes.
Suppressing his amusement, the demon god's face revealed a gentle, signature smile: "Lanyan, do you find the room uncomfortable?"
"Hmm..." Liu Lanyan wondered to herself, if she said she wasn't feeling well, would she not have to stay here?
She didn't know why, but her feelings toward the demon god were strange; she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
She didn't seem to mind his approach, but there was always a little unease in her heart that puzzled her.
Therefore, she was a little unhappy about living so close to the demon god.
"If you feel uncomfortable, you can stay in my room. It's the most comfortable room in Wuchen Palace." As soon as the demon god finished speaking, he didn't miss the panicked look in Liu Lanyan's eyes.
He tried his best to keep a straight face, but inside he was overjoyed.
"No need, I'll stay here. A disciple shouldn't compete with his master for a place to stay," Liu Lanyan waved her hands repeatedly in refusal.
What a joke! I'm already uncomfortable living next door to him, let alone sharing a room. I'd rather kill her.
"It's getting late, go and rest." The Demon God watched Liu Lanyan go in, and could no longer hold back. His lips stretched wider and wider, and if it weren't for his ears covering them, the grin would probably have reached the back of his head.
"Thank you, Master." Liu Lanyan smiled "gratefully," entered the room, and slammed the door shut with a bang.
He did it on purpose, absolutely on purpose!
The door slammed shut in front of him with a bang, but it didn't anger the demon god at all. On the contrary, seeing the expression on Liu Lanyan's face made him feel much better.
Liu Lanyan, who had been pretending to be stupid, actually showed different emotions in front of him. Does this mean that she has different feelings for him?
Fortunately, there were no outsiders in the Dustless Palace. Fortunately, no one would dare to risk their life to spy on the Dustless Palace, otherwise, they would have discovered something terrifying.
That is, the Demon God actually did something that was completely inconsistent with his status—he danced wildly.
He danced and gesticulated wildly as he returned to his room, sitting on the edge of the bed and chuckling excitedly for a long time.
He made no attempt to suppress his laughter, so on the other side of the wall, Liu Lanyan was gritting her teeth and cursing someone in her heart.
Surprisingly, he managed to turn things around by 10%.
Liu Lanyan settled down in the Wuchen Palace, unaware that many people still missed her dearly.
"Master, there has been no news from Wuchen Palace." The subordinate knelt down and reported, secretly wondering why his master cared so much about Wuchen Palace.
Yu Xinyi sat behind his desk, glancing at the news coming from various places while listening to his subordinates' reports.
