The unity of opposites creates a fatal attraction.
After an unknown amount of time, Mo Yun finally reacted, his lips slowly curving upwards, a smile as warm as spring in March dispelling the chill of winter.
That smile contained so much meaning, a meaning no one could decipher. It was such a beautiful smile, a smile that made people unable to resist being captivated, yet it caused a pang in one's heart, and suddenly made one want to shed tears.
The next day, when Liu Lanyan got up to eat breakfast, her eyes never left the Demon God's face. In the end, even Mo Yun, who had great self-control, couldn't help but reach out and touch his cheek: "Is there something on my face?"
"No," Liu Lanyan quickly shook her head, "It just feels a little strange."
"What's strange?" Mo Yun asked Liu Lanyan with amusement, but his hands didn't stop. He continued to make a small opening in the small soup dumpling that Liu Lanyan liked to eat so that it could be cooled down and made it easier for her to eat it later.
Liu Lanyan tilted her head and looked at the Demon God for a while, then frowned and said, "I feel like you've changed. Has something happened recently that has caused you to have such a big emotional ups and downs?"
Upon hearing Liu Lanyan's words, Mo Yun's heart tightened, and his dark eyes stared intently at Liu Lanyan.
Because of her intense focus, Liu Lanyan had the illusion that the demon god's eyes had become bottomless pools, about to suck her in.
"Are you really alright?" Liu Lanyan asked worriedly, reaching out to gently stroke the demon god's arm, trying to comfort him.
She didn't know what was wrong with the Demon God, but she could sense that his emotions had gone through a very intense upheaval.
Whether it's good or bad, a great war between the three realms is about to break out. If something unexpected happens at this time, it's hard to guarantee that we won't be distracted during the battle.
The consequences of being distracted...
Liu Lanyan took a deep breath; she dared not think any further.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Mo Yun smiled and gently squeezed Liu Lanyan's small hand in return. "Don't worry, things will pass quickly."
Since the Demon God had already said so, Liu Lanyan didn't ask any further questions. Instead, she asked one question with slight concern: "What if I still can't remember things from before..."
"Aren't you still you? What's the difference?" Mo Yun asked matter-of-factly, his obsidian-like eyes seeming to see right into Liu Lanyan's heart, making her smile involuntarily.
Nodding emphatically, Liu Lanyan was relieved.
Yes, so what if I remember or not?
They're fine as they are now, so why let the past cause them further distress?
"Your Excellency." Peng Zhen walked in from outside and bowed respectfully.
"Speak." Mo Yun didn't waste any words and pushed the soup dumpling toward Liu Lanyan.
Liu Lanyan buried her head in her food and ate slowly, while also listening to Peng Zhen's words.
"The forces from both the immortal and demon realms are advancing towards the demon realm again, and they will arrive at the outer perimeter of the demon realm by the evening of this day." Peng Zhen reported carefully, without providing any detailed data, only reporting the final result to the Demon God.
Mo Yun listened and nodded, praising, "That is indeed a good place to fight."
After mentally reviewing the location Peng Zhen had mentioned, Liu Lanyan had a general idea of what it was.
"Your Majesty, what are our plans for the future?" Peng Zhen asked the Demon God.
"Wait." Mo Yun gave Peng Zhen the instruction without any hesitation.
Peng Zhen had no doubts about the answer. He bowed and withdrew, leaving the space to the Demon God and Liu Lanyan.
"Neither the immortal nor the demon realms seem to want to destroy the demon realm." After carefully analyzing the location chosen by the immortal and demon realms, Liu Lanyan came to the most important conclusion.
Even if a fight breaks out there, it won't harm the demon realm.
In other words, if the demon realm wants to fight, it will inevitably have to send a large army over.
Even if a demon god wanted to take action, he would have to go there; he absolutely could not stay within the demon realm and fight the enemy from afar.
Liu Lanyan raised an eyebrow and chuckled, saying in a tone that was hard to decipher as either praise or disparagement, "The immortal and demon realms are truly adept at scheming."
"No one will give up something that's profitable." Mo Yun naturally saw through the plans of both the immortal and demonic realms at a glance, and smiled dismissively.
"The demon realm has the most abundant spiritual energy of heaven and earth among the three realms. Whether it is the immortal realm or the demon realm, they are all cultivators regardless of their identity. No cultivator would complain about the abundance of spiritual energy of heaven and earth."
Mo Yun knew exactly what kind of place the demon realm was.
Even if they wanted to destroy the demon realm, there was no reason to destroy the entire "treasure trove" of the demon realm.
Whether it's the celestial realm or the demon realm, they all know how to make good use of certain advantages.
"Now is not the time to make a move. Let's see what trump cards they have first." Mo Yun said slowly to Liu Lanyan, his detached demeanor making Liu Lanyan glance at him.
Did he have any awareness of his status as a demon god?
Amidst the chaos in the Three Realms, he felt no sense of urgency whatsoever.
Looking at the composed and calm demon god, Liu Lanyan felt dizzy for a moment.
It's the dizziness of worship.
In such a tense moment, to feel no sense of urgency at all, perhaps only the Demon God in the Three Realms could be so calm.
Upon closer examination, although the immortal and demonic realms initiated the attack, they themselves were not entirely confident at the moment.
Over a thousand years, which place wouldn't be prepared?
The celestial realm is cultivating conscious celestial souls, but who knows what the demon realm has?
However, the demon realm must also be prepared.
Besides having a demon god in charge, there must be other secret weapons prepared.
