Upon hearing this, the demon god was deeply moved: "Lanyan, are you speaking up for me?"
“No,” Liu Lanyan replied crisply, “I just feel that the demon realm is not enough for you to fully utilize your talents.”
Well……
The demon god looked at Liu Lanyan with a mixture of amusement and exasperation. He had only spoken to her in a roundabout way, so why was she still so angry?
"Hmm, the demon realm is indeed quite boring." The demon god's gaze shifted, and he laughed heartily. "It's still best to have Lanyan by my side."
The words, half confession and half jest, left Liu Lanyan both amused and angry.
He stood up angrily and pointed at the demon god: "Get out, I want to rest."
"Lanyan, it's still early before evening," the demon god kindly reminded Liu Lanyan of the time.
"Can't I take a nap?" Liu Lanyan roared, glaring angrily at the Demon God, her imposing manner suggesting that if he dared to utter another word, she would kick him out.
The demon god stood up dejectedly, shaking his head and sighing as he left the room. A woman's mind is truly hard to fathom.
He didn't seem to have done anything, so why was she so angry?
Stepping out of the room, the demon god silently looked up at the sky, gazing at the beautiful sunset in the west, and sighed helplessly, "It's already this late, time for a nap?"
That's a really good reason Liu Lanyan came up with.
Shaking his head, the demon god returned to his bedroom. It's normal for a young lady to throw a little tantrum; he'd coax her later.
As the demon god walked, he pondered, realizing that he hadn't done anything excessive.
As for hugging Liu Lanyan's slender waist, kissing Liu Lanyan's fingertips, and holding Liu Lanyan's small hand, he felt that these were all normal things.
Who dares to say it's excessive?
Whoever dares to say that, we'll destroy them!
When only Liu Lanyan was left in the room, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, her cheeks slightly flushed. That annoying guy, why did he have to make a serious conversation so ambiguous?
As he spoke, he unconsciously clenched his fists, as if trying to hide something.
Even now, her fingertips are still slightly hot, as if the wet, warm sensation still lingers on them.
Liu Lanyan pursed her lips and chuckled, saying coquettishly, "You annoying guy."
The last syllable was drawn out, rising slightly, carrying a hint of shyness and playfulness.
Her dark eyes darted around, still feeling shy about what had just happened, but there was a sweet, warm feeling in that shyness, like the afternoon sun, which felt very comfortable on her skin.
But why can he do these things so matter-of-factly?
Hmph, that's not fair!
Then, at dinner that evening, Peng Zhen witnessed an extremely bizarre scene.
Liu Lanyan sat quietly at the table without eating. The demon god habitually picked up her favorite dish to put in her bowl, but Liu Lanyan turned the bowl around and dodged it.
The demon god paused slightly, looked at Liu Lanyan, and saw that she seemed determined to starve herself to death.
Peng Zhen stepped aside. It seemed that Liu Lanyan and the Lord had an internal conflict, and he didn't want to be caught in the crossfire. He decided to stay away from the place where the war was about to break out.
Moreover, if the Venerable One wanted to coax Liu Lanyan into eating, he certainly wouldn't want to see this scene.
Just as Peng Zhen was pondering whether to leave, he saw the demon god begin to move again.
He just moved, without saying a word.
He reached for a piece of juicy roasted meat on the plate with his chopsticks, picked it up directly, and put it straight into his mouth without looking at Liu Lanyan.
Liu Lanyan, who had been secretly watching the Demon God's actions, suddenly changed her expression and snatched the chopsticks away.
If Liu Lanyan wants to take it, will the Demon God dare to compete with her?
Naturally, he obediently put down his chopsticks, watching her take away the delicious and juicy piece of roast meat, watching her chew with great relish, and proudly raising her chin as she chewed vigorously.
The demon god smiled, not bothering to argue with Liu Lanyan, and continued to reach for the other dishes.
The moment her chopsticks reached into the plate, before she could even pick up any food, Liu Lanyan snatched them away and stuffed them into her mouth, chewing them voraciously.
The demon god watched Liu Lanyan's actions with amusement, shook his head helplessly, remained silent for a while, and then reached for the other dishes.
Before I could even clip it on, it was snatched away again.
As the fighting continued, time slowly passed.
Finally, seeing no hope of victory, the demon god had no choice but to put down his chopsticks, showing his surrender through his actions.
Liu Lanyan tilted her head back triumphantly, watching the demon god's humiliated expression with satisfaction. The emotions she felt from being "bullied" by him that afternoon finally eased.
"Lanyan, why are you angry?" The Demon God picked up his teacup and asked Liu Lanyan.
"Hmph, who told you to bully me all the time?" Liu Lanyan huffed angrily. She couldn't get back at him for this. How awful.
Should we let her bite him back?
She's not that stupid.
"Hmm..." The demon god looked at Liu Lanyan speechlessly, looking utterly defeated. He wanted to be angry but dared not, and he wanted to refute but couldn't find the words to do so.
The demon god's dazed expression pleased Liu Lanyan greatly.
Then, he got up and left with a smile.
She felt better.
The slight resentment I felt in the afternoon has finally subsided.
Watching Liu Lanyan leave with satisfaction, Peng Zhen was dumbfounded, staring blankly at Liu Lanyan's back for a long time without coming back to his senses.
"What are you looking at?" Peng Zhen was startled by the displeased voice of the Demon God. He turned his head and saw the Demon God's unhappy gaze. He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
The demon god glanced at Peng Zhen. Although Peng Zhen had been his subordinate for a long time, he was still displeased by Peng Zhen staring at Lan Yan like that.
"What's wrong with Miss Liu?" Peng Zhen couldn't help but ask curiously.
His actions just now really surprised him; that reaction was definitely not something Liu Lanyan would do under normal circumstances.
"Well, there are some things she hasn't figured out." The demon god said shamelessly, and Peng Zhen almost collapsed because his legs went weak.
Even if he didn't know the details of the matter, he understood that the Lord must have done something to Miss Liu again.
It's clear that Miss Liu's anger was directed at the Lord, yet the Lord can still speak so confidently.
As expected of the Lord, he is indeed very calm.
Mentioning this, the Demon God laughed: "Lan Yan was just sulking, but now everything's fine, isn't it?"
So you noticed it too?
Peng Zhen rolled his eyes at the roof without saying a word.
"Miss Liu is still angry with you," Peng Zhen advised the demon god, suggesting that if that didn't work, he should try to coax Liu Lanyan.
"Hmm." The demon god couldn't help but laugh when he recalled Liu Lanyan's actions earlier. "A hunger strike, how could she even think of that?"
"Miss Liu still ate it." Peng Zhen sighed softly, knowing that the Venerable Lord's actions just now were clearly aimed at Miss Liu.
He pretended to want to eat while matching Liu Lanyan's chewing speed, making her try to grab food from him.
Such a simple thing, surely Miss Liu would have noticed it on a normal day?
"You wouldn't understand," the demon god said with a mysterious smile.
Liu Lanyan ate just as much as she wanted during the meal, and she even cheered up and stopped being "angry" with him. Wasn't that a win-win situation?
"Lanyan, if you have anger in your heart, you should let it out. You can't keep it bottled up, understand?" The Demon God explained to Peng Zhen in a good mood.
Peng Zhen stared at his lord speechlessly. How come he only recently discovered that his great lord was such a cunning person?
"Isn't this bullying a young lady?" Peng Zhen thought to himself, and unconsciously muttered it out loud.
The demon god laughed and scolded, "Whose side are you on anyway?"
"Huh? Oh." Peng Zhen was startled, unaware that he had inadvertently blurted out what he was thinking. He quickly said, "Your Excellency, what I meant was that young ladies need to be coaxed."
The demon god laughed and said, "Peng Zhen, Lan Yan is no ordinary woman. I've already won her over."
"Huh? You tricked him?" Peng Zhen looked at the Demon God in surprise. How come he didn't see him?
"Go check on the situation with the King of Luan." The Demon God casually made up an excuse to send Peng Zhen away. How he appeased Lan Yan was still their business.
"Yes." Upon hearing the Demon God's words, Peng Zhen immediately realized that he had overstepped his bounds and hurriedly left.
After leaving the room, Peng Zhen suddenly realized something.
It seems that since being with Liu Lanyan, the Lord's personality has become much more cheerful.
He slowly smiled. He felt it was worth it even if he was punished by the Lord for talking too much.
As long as the Lord is happy.
The Demon God probably understood Peng Zhen's thoughts to some extent, so he wouldn't mind if Peng Zhen overstepped his bounds slightly.
Peng Zhen had no idea about his relationship with Lan Yan.
Even if Lan Yan is "angry", she wouldn't be so out of control as to not see through such a small trick.
The reason she "took the vegetables" from him was because she sensed his "apology," and Lan Yan accepted this silent way of "apologizing."
After a meal, the afternoon's events were considered over.
Actually, he didn't think there was anything wrong with that kind of thing at all.
He would never give up, but perhaps with his efforts, Lan Yan would gradually get used to it.
If she resists, I'll definitely slap her.
She's feeling "angry" right now, and she's taking it out on him; it's just because she's shy.
The demon god smiled, feeling a little smug about his ability to understand Lan Yan's feelings so well.
Of all the people in the world, he is the one who understands Lanyan the most. How could he not be proud?
Fortunately, there was no one else in the room at that moment. If there had been, they would have been terrified, not for any other reason than the sinister smile on the Demon God's lips.
This is so inconsistent with his usual demeanor.
My image has been shattered.
After a night's sleep, Liu Lanyan and the Demon God returned to their usual state. Peng Zhen, who had just returned from outside, happened to see the Demon God diligently using chopsticks to open a small hole in the soup dumpling to let it cool down, making it easier for Liu Lanyan to eat later.
