"Alright, it's getting late, go and get some rest." Su Yin waved his hand, signaling Su Hanhao to leave.
After the door closed, Su Yin looked helplessly at the closed door and muttered, "This silly son, is his feeling for Liu Lanyan just pity? He should nip these inappropriate emotions in the bud. Liu Lanyan is not someone he can afford to mess with."
Didn't you see how much the Demon God cared about Liu Lanyan?
The future fate of the demon realm may very well be changed because of Liu Lanyan.

Chapter 56: Each with their own thoughts
On the same night, Yu Xinyi sat in his study, remaining in the same position for a long time. Ever since returning from Yu Jinshuo's mansion, he had been sitting like this, too many things weighing on his mind.
The teacup on the table, which had been steaming hot, had long since gone cold. Yu Xinyi was unaware of this. She moved, picked up the teacup, and took a sip. The bitter taste that spread in her mouth immediately brought her back to her senses.
Swallowing the bitter, cold tea with a wry smile, Yu Xinyi shook his head helplessly and muttered, "Things are really complicated."
Liu Xinrong's reaction was exactly what he expected. That kind of person who thinks he has a brain is actually just a seemingly smart idiot.
Did she think that by getting close to Yu Jinshuo, she could have a powerful backer?
If the demon god wanted to deal with her, he could have eliminated her without making a sound.
The question is, why is Liu Xinrong still alive and well?
Given the demon god's personality, he was definitely not a soft-hearted person.
Don't tell him that Liu Xinrong is alive and well because of Yu Jinshuo.
So what if Yu Jinshuo is a prince of the demon realm?
Yu Xinyi continued thinking along her own lines and finally found a reason that could be considered a valid one.
Could it be that the demon god fears the demon realm will be without a master in the future?
If Yu Jinshuo kills Liu Xinrong, and then acts rashly, will he offend the Demon God?
If the Demon God were to kill Yu Jinshuo in a fit of rage, and the Demon Lord were to abdicate, this prince, who was considered incompetent by the world, would naturally be unable to inherit the position of Demon Lord.
Could it be that the Demon God is truly afraid of the Demon Realm having no successors?
After thinking for a long time, Yu Xinyi could only come up with this ambiguous answer.
Furthermore, why is the Demon Lord reacting so strongly? Is it simply because he's afraid of offending the Demon God?
Isn't this an overreaction?
Unable to understand what was going on here, Yu Xinyi thought of Liu Xinya, whom he had met earlier that day.
Would the wife of this demon general, who has been officially recognized by him, make such a basic mistake?
At first glance, it seems like he was standing up for Liu Xinrong by provoking the demon god in front of everyone, but whether that was really the case is unknown.
Everything seemed so reasonable on the surface, but upon closer inspection, it seemed to hide something else. This feeling made Yu Xinyi pay attention and think more deeply.
Things are really complicated.
Yu Xinyi thought about what happened twice from beginning to end. To his dismay, the more he thought about it, the more complicated things seemed to become, to the point that they started to give him a headache.
It seems that everyone has their own agenda, all of which are hidden beneath the surface.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night; countless people will toss and turn, unable to fall asleep.
The person inside the palace was behaving completely differently from how they had acted in the palace just moments before: "...Why?"
Liu Lanyan glanced at the Demon God and said with a smile, "Because I'm going to sleep."
That guy went too far. Don't think that just because you helped her out of that situation, you can take advantage of it and move into her room.
"Are you sure you'll be alright resting on your own?" The Demon God looked at Liu Lanyan with concern, adopting the loving demeanor of a master caring for his disciple, and advised, "So many things have happened today, I'm afraid someone might try to harm you. It's best to be careful."
You are the one I should be most wary of!
Liu Lanyan gritted her teeth and growled inwardly, but she couldn't show any emotion on her face. She acted like a good girl and said, "It's okay. Master is right next door. Master is so powerful, no one would dare to come over."
As she spoke, Liu Lanyan even adopted an expression of admiration and worship, gazing at the demon god with starry eyes: "Right, Master?"
The demon god sighed helplessly to himself, "Sometimes it's really not good for someone to be too smart; they're hard to manipulate."
"Well, Lanyan, get some rest." The Demon God weighed the pros and cons and decided to be a loving master to his disciple.
"Okay." Liu Lanyan's happy reply left the demon god, who had just left the room, feeling quite depressed. Did his departure make her so happy?
Thinking back, the most touching moment was when Liu Lanyan danced for him inside the Prince's mansion.
He shook his head and sighed as he returned to his room, wondering when he would have another chance to see Liu Lanyan fight for him.
Having confirmed that the Demon God had returned to his room, Liu Lanyan sat on the edge of the bed and smiled. In truth, her feelings towards the Demon God were quite complicated.
She didn't dislike his closeness, but she felt a sense of resentment.
It's weird, I can't quite put my finger on it.
She smiled gently, a tenderness in her eyes that she herself hadn't even noticed.
With a flick of her finger, a faint, almost invisible mist swirled around her, completely enveloping her.
Upon closer inspection, the light mist vanished as if nothing had happened.
However, if someone with profound demonic power were to see this, they would surely be stunned.
Because, from outside where the fog appeared, Liu Lanyan appeared to have already lain down and fallen asleep. In reality, within the area where the fog appeared, she was still sitting on the edge of the bed.
"Bingling, what's going on over there?" No one expected that Liu Lanyan would be in this place, next to the Demon Lord's palace and the Demon God's palace, using her power to communicate with her subordinates.
This behavior cannot be described as mere audacity.
“Miss, everything is normal.” Bingling’s voice rang out, not loud, but clear enough to be heard.
"Miss, how are you doing?" Bingling was still worried about Liu Lanyan's condition. Since entering Wuchen Palace, she had been unable to contact her mistress. She wondered if something had happened to her.
Moreover, the demon god's attitude towards the young lady was also very strange, which made her worry.
"Everything is fine," Liu Lanyan said after thinking for a moment. Apart from the Demon God's occasional erratic behavior, everything really was fine.
"Okay, that's all for now. Be careful." Liu Lanyan decided not to say anything more. Just as she was about to end the call, she suddenly remembered something and instructed, "Unless it's an emergency, don't contact me. The situation in the capital is a bit complicated lately."
"Oh, okay." Bingling was taken aback for a moment, then agreed.
After saying that, Liu Lanyan lay down and casually waved her hand. The space beside the bed suddenly distorted slightly before returning to normal.
Liu Lanyan lay on the bed, not asleep, but staring at the ceiling with her eyes open.
Why would the Demon Lord be so ruthless towards Yu Jinshuo? Was it simply because he dared not offend the Demon God?
Things don't seem to be as simple as they appear.
Especially with the arrival of Liu Xinya, a person from the Demon Realm even wanted to provoke a war between the two realms, just to vent Liu Xinrong's anger.
Liu Lanyan gently curled the corners of her lips and smiled.
Things seem to be getting more and more interesting. Even though the various parties have only revealed a little bit of information, that alone is enough to make people think endlessly about it.
With so many interesting people around, it seems the future won't be boring.

Chapter 57 What a coincidence!
Inside the Prince's mansion, Liu Xinrong was alone in her bridal chamber. The events of the previous night kept replaying in her mind, and the more she thought about it, the more distressed and unwilling she became.
Her sister has already become the wife of a demon general, and she is already a queen. Why should she still be suppressed by Liu Lanyan?
On her wedding day, she was suppressed like this. Did Liu Lanyan have a grudge against her and deliberately make things difficult for her?
No, she can't lose.
She is now a princess, how could she possibly lose to that foolish woman, Liu Lanyan?
The demon god's disciple is just a disciple; she is the prince's officially married wife.
Oh, right, Your Highness.
Liu Xinrong suddenly stood up from the bedside, walked out of the bridal chamber, and went directly to the room where the prince was resting. At the door, Yu Jinshuo's personal guard stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Madam, the prince is resting in his room."
This seemingly pointless remark wasn't meant as a report, but rather as a reminder to Liu Xinrong that the prince was resting and she shouldn't disturb him.
Liu Xinrong nodded and smiled, "In that case, I won't disturb Your Highness's rest any longer. Please take good care of yourself." With that, she turned and left gracefully.
Only after Liu Xinrong was out of sight did the guard give a wink to the person next to him and go inside to report.
"Your Highness, the Madam just came by." The guard knelt down and bowed, but the person on the bed did not react at all. The guard then recounted what had happened at the door.
The matter was simple, so the guard spoke quickly.
After saying that, Yu Jinshuo, who had been lying on the bed, didn't even open his eyes and asked directly, "What is she wearing?"
"Ordinary clothes." The guard was puzzled by his master's question, but he answered truthfully nonetheless.
"Okay, you may leave." After Yu Jinshuo gave the order, the guard quietly withdrew.
"Your Highness," a deep voice echoed in the room after the guard left, "Should we investigate Liu Lanyan?"
"No need." Yu Jinshuo remained lying in bed. His injuries were not as severe as they appeared. The Demon Lord's slap had prevented him from getting up at the time, but he had recovered considerably after taking the medicine.
The Demon Lord was quite measured in his actions.
"Keep a close eye on the Liu family." Yu Jinshuo's order startled the guards hidden in the shadows, who looked at him with confusion.
