"Hmm." Yu Xinyi nodded gently, understanding that Liu Lanyan would never suffer a loss, especially since the Demon God's attitude towards Liu Lanyan seemed rather strange.
Since he was willing to give his own Wuchen Sword to Liu Lanyan, it's likely that the Demon God wouldn't do anything to her.
He was just wondering when he had become interested in Liu Lanyan.
Given the current status of the Demon God, would he care about the daughter of a former elder?
Could it be that Liu Lanyan has many secrets that he doesn't know?
"Liu Xinrong's wedding will be held in two weeks."
"Half a month?" Yu Xinyi looked up in surprise at his subordinate's words. "Isn't that too rushed?"
Would his powerful uncle, Yu Jinshuo, allow his wedding to be held so hastily?
"The merchants within the royal city are not very friendly to Liu Jinli."
Upon hearing this, Yu Xinyi understood what it meant; it turned out to be about Liu Jinli. He knew about Liu Jinli's recent offense against the merchants of the royal city, and it seemed that Liu Jinli wanted to use Yu Jinshuo's power to consolidate his position.
Now that his own daughter has become a princess, and Liu Lanyan is a disciple of the Demon God, how could Liu Jinli, who is so good at leveraging power, not make good use of this opportunity?
It seems that Yu Jinshuo's wedding will be another good show.

Chapter 47: The Grand Wedding
"Lanyan, tomorrow is Liu Xinrong's wedding day. Do you want to go?" The Demon God placed the invitation on the table and asked Liu Lanyan for her opinion.
"Sister Xinrong is getting married?" Liu Lanyan blinked, then looked up and asked the Demon God, "Master, should I go?"
The demon god almost choked on his own saliva with a single question, staring at Liu Lanyan speechlessly for a long time.
After spending half a month together, he realized that having a disciple who was too "obedient" was not a good thing.
He was always so obedient that he almost vomited blood.
"If Lanyan wants to go, we'll go." This kind of back-and-forth conversation has happened countless times in the past two weeks, each time a silent contest where neither of them is willing to give in.
As for the record, it was 50/50.
Liu Lanyan didn't say anything, she just stared innocently at the Demon God.
An unsettling silence flowed between the two of them; it was a test of endurance, a battle to see who would give in first.
Clearly, Liu Lanyan has always had the upper hand in terms of patience.
"We'll go take a look tomorrow," the demon god conceded.
“Alright, Master, I’ll go with you.” Liu Lanyan’s words immediately made the Demon God’s blood boil.
In the end, she ended up accompanying him?
"Master, I'm tired," Liu Lanyan said softly, blinking her big eyes.
"Rest when you're tired." The Demon God smiled bitterly to himself and left Liu Lanyan's room.
The door closed, and the innocent look on Liu Lanyan's face vanished instantly.
After spending half a month together, she learned one thing – tolerance.
The demon god was very tolerant of her.
This forbearance caused her great pain, a pain mixed with a faint ache.
Over the course of half a month, Liu Lanyan tried countless times, and each time she experienced the same feeling.
She was certain that she had some connection with the demon god, but she didn't want to explore that connection right now.
She has her own things to do, especially...
Okay, that's certainly an excuse.
She felt somewhat resistant.
She resisted exploring the matter between her and the demon god, as if uncovering the mystery would make her extremely uncomfortable.
Rather than exploring their feelings for each other, Liu Lanyan preferred the current state of subtle rivalry, which made her life full of "passion" and put her in a great mood.
The wedding in the demon realm can be considered a lively banquet, and with the protagonist being a high-ranking prince of the demon realm, the banquet was even more grand.
Inside and outside the royal city, there was an atmosphere of celebration.
Every household hung bright red lanterns, and from the heights of the palace, the royal city appeared as a sea of red.
"Rong'er, the Prince really values you." Liu Jinli's smile never faded as he looked at his daughter, who was dressed in her finest attire.
The merchants had always ignored him and treated his visits with indifference.
Now that the prince and his daughter are married, the prince gives an order, and the merchants obediently cooperate, decorating the royal city with festive cheer.
"Isn't it because Father is the Grand Elder?" Liu Xinrong smiled and touched her sleeve.
This was a fine silk dress, with exquisite embroidery. Wearing the bright red wedding gown, she saw herself in the mirror, looking as beautiful as an angel.
Her head was adorned with a glittering floral crown, the enormous gems of which were dazzling to the eye. It was obvious without asking that her entire outfit, from head to toe, was priceless.
"Haha..." Liu Jinli laughed triumphantly. One of his wishes had finally come true. He had climbed up to Yu Jinshuo's big tree, and in the future, his position in the demon realm would be absolutely unshakeable.
The grand wedding began in the morning, and after a series of ceremonies such as worshipping heaven and earth and comforting the gods, it was already night.
It was a lively and bustling day. The royal city was filled with people, all watching Liu Xinrong's wedding with envy.
All the unmarried girls were chasing after Liu Xinrong, who was surrounded by thousands of people. Her gorgeous clothes were enough to arouse envy, not to mention that Liu Xinrong's husband was Yu Jinshuo, who was second only to the emperor.
In addition to preparing a lavish banquet in the palace, a continuous feast was also set up on the main streets of the royal city. Only someone as powerful and influential as Yu Jinshuo could afford such a grand gesture.
Of course, the happiest person here is Liu Xinrong.
She finally became a princess, the position she had always longed for; she had finally achieved it.
Inside the Prince's mansion, the crowd of congratulatory people was so dense that it was impossible to move. Everyone had finally found an opportunity to curry favor with the Prince, and anyone with even a slight connection was scrambling to offer a congratulatory gift, just to leave a slight impression on Yu Jinshuo.
Even the Demon Lord came to offer his congratulations, making the royal palace truly bustling with activity.
The bustling hall suddenly fell silent after a loud announcement: "The Lord has arrived."
"Lord?" The Demon Lord jumped up from his chair and looked at Yu Jinshuo next to him in surprise. Did he invite the Lord to his wedding?
Faced with the Demon Lord's silent question, Yu Jinshuo shook his head speechlessly. Did he have such great influence that he could invite the Venerable Lord to participate?
It wasn't just the Demon Lord and his group who were surprised; everyone in the hall looked at each other, wondering what was going on.
After some speculation, the way everyone looked at Yu Jinshuo changed.
Yu Jinshuo has a lot of face to have the Venerable One attend.
Yu Jinshuo got up and hurriedly went out to greet them. As for him, the reason he agreed to marry Liu Jinli so quickly was not because he cared much about Liu Jinli's identity.
What he cared about was Liu Jinli's status as Liu Lanyan's second uncle.
Marrying a fool was out of the question, but becoming related to the disciple of the Demon God was still a good deal for him.
The festive musical instruments in the courtyard contrasted sharply with the extreme silence in the hall, and everyone stood up to welcome the arrival of the demon god.
The demon god was surrounded by a crowd of people as if he were the moon and sat in the main seat.
The Demon God is always the most eye-catching person, but recently, the person everyone is most curious about is Liu Lanyan, who sits casually next to the Demon God.
He actually sat down next to the demon god, on equal footing.
Is this a seat a disciple should be in?
"Lanyan, thank you for coming to my wedding." Liu Xinrong walked over happily, speaking politely, but her eyes and brows revealed blatant smugness.
He even straightened his magnificent dress and looked at Liu Lanyan with an arrogant air: "Lanyan, don't worry, the prince and I will be happy in the future."
Liu Xinrong's words made Su Hanhao, who was sitting next to her, frown slightly. Wasn't she deliberately mocking Liu Lanyan?
Who doesn't know that Liu Lanyan was a discarded pawn abandoned by Yu Jinshuo?
Liu Xinrong's words plunged the hall into an eerie silence. All eyes were focused on Liu Lanyan, while the cheerful music from the courtyard sounded incredibly ironic.
Liu Lanyan's face flickered in the candlelight, her head slightly drooping, her expression unreadable. Only her small, slightly white hand tightly gripping her sleeve betrayed her anxiety.
Liu Xinrong curled her lips into a smug smile. Today, she was the center of attention.
A fool is still a fool; even if a good-for-nothing climbs the social ladder, she's still a good-for-nothing.

Chapter 48 Let's stop arguing, shall we?
Su Hanhao stood up and walked over, holding an exquisite gift box: "Your Highness, this is a small token of my appreciation. I hope you will accept it."
Su Hanhao's actions startled his father. Before coming, he had repeatedly told Su Hanhao to talk more with Yu Jinshuo and his wife, and he had even prepared the congratulatory gift himself.
Unexpectedly, after arriving at the Prince's residence, Su Hanhao acted as if he had forgotten about that matter and did not bring out any congratulatory gifts.
He knew, of course, that his son disdained Yu Jinshuo and Liu Jinli, but since he held the position of elder in the royal city, he naturally hoped to be on good terms with Yu Jinshuo and the others.
His own son didn't like currying favor with the powerful and wealthy, so he had nothing to say about it.
However, to everyone's surprise, he actually brought out the congratulatory gift at this moment.
Su Yin looked at his son with suspicion. What was he up to?
Sure enough, Yu Jinshuo's attention was drawn to Su Hanhao's congratulatory gift.
