Chapter 59: Covering Up the Truth
"Your Highness, it's a misunderstanding." Liu Xinya said with a smile, relieving Liu Xinrong's awkwardness.
"What I meant was that I was afraid the Liu residence was too simple and wouldn't be able to properly entertain Your Excellency," Liu Xinya explained with a smile, defusing the oppressive atmosphere in the main hall with ease.
Yu Jinshuo stared intently at Liu Xinya, remaining noncommittal in response to her answer.
"Since it's a misunderstanding, let's just let it go." No one expected the Demon Lord to say such a thing.
As soon as the Demon Lord spoke, Yu Jinshuo finally felt relieved.
"It was I who overstepped my bounds." Liu Xinya was, after all, the wife of a demon general, and her ability to bend and stretch was something Liu Xinrong could never learn.
Knowing that the current situation was unfavorable to her, she immediately swallowed her anger.
Unfortunately, no matter how well she planned, it was useless, because the demon god she was facing could not be understood using normal thinking.
"We can't stay at the Liu residence. Since our sisters have come, we should treat them properly." The Demon God's words left the Demon Lord and the others looking at him in bewilderment. What did he mean?
Ignoring the questioning looks from others, the demon god turned to Liu Lanyan and asked with a smile, "Lanyan, would you like them to come and keep you company?"
Even Liu Lanyan had no idea what he was up to. She blinked and stared blankly at the Demon God. This time, her blankness was genuine; she truly didn't know what he was going to do.
The demon god chuckled and turned to Liu Jinli, saying, "Come to Wuchen Residence in three days."
"Wuchen Residence?" Liu Jinli couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, staring at Liu Jinli in disbelief.
That bamboo forest where the demon god resided, that picturesque mountain forest, was normally off-limits to anyone. The last time he went there, it was only because of Liu Lanyan that he was allowed to enter.
This time, it was actually the demon god who took the initiative to invite them.
“That’s right. Since she’s Liu Lanyan’s sister, it’s only right that we get together.” The Demon God said, standing up and smiling at Liu Lanyan. “Right, Lanyan, you also want to get together with your sister.”
"Hmm." Liu Lanyan nodded, seemingly quite happy on the surface, but secretly she was full of complaints in her heart.
What does he mean by that?
Why did they let Liu Xinrong and the others move into Wuchenju?
Although Wuchenju has some maids and servants, as well as cooks, those people cannot leave Wuchenju.
Even if the Demon Lord wanted to send people in, such as the "beauties" sent last time, they are all living in Wuchen Residence now and it is impossible for them to leave.
Wuchenju is known to everyone in the demon realm as the residence of the demon god, a forbidden area of the demon realm.
The Dustless Palace, which floats above Dustless Abode, is absolutely a forbidden area within a forbidden area.
"It's getting late, let's go back. You must be tired after all this trip." The demon god's words almost made everyone in the hall collapse.
It's getting late, it's just past Chen Shi (7-9 AM), isn't it?
It's not even noon yet, and you call that it's getting late?
Still tired?
I just woke up, what's there to be tired about?
Liu Lanyan couldn't help but glance at the Demon God with disdain out of the corner of her eye. Even lying through one's teeth wouldn't be said like that.
“That’s true, it’s getting late, we should head back soon.” The Demon Lord’s agreement almost made Liu Lanyan vomit blood.
A silent cry from my heart: Have some backbone! Can't you have some backbone?
He's the ruler of the demon realm, after all. You can't be so obsequious, can you?
Unfortunately, such cries only existed in Liu Lanyan's heart; the Demon Lord could not hear them.
The Demon Lord and the others politely saw them off, leaving Liu Lanyan feeling quite annoyed.
Sitting in the carriage, the demon god kept looking at Liu Lanyan, who hadn't said a word since getting into the carriage.
"What are you thinking about?" the demon god asked. When he was with her, he seemed to have no self-control and could never keep his composure.
Liu Lanyan looked up, glanced at the demon god indifferently, and then continued to stare blankly.
Well……
The demon god blinked. Why did Liu Lanyan look at him like he was looking at thin air?
As if he doesn't exist?
"Lanyan, it's wrong to ignore someone." The Demon God adopted the demeanor of a master, earnestly instructing Liu Lanyan.
Upon hearing the Demon God's words, Liu Lanyan's dazed eyes brightened. She looked up, smiled at the Demon God, and obediently asked, "Is it right for Master to ignore me?"
Although the words were very obedient, the demon goddess could clearly hear the anger contained within them; she was angry.
"Why?" The demon god's question was abrupt, even abrupt, leaving people completely baffled.
Ironically, Liu Lanyan understood the question that puzzled everyone else, and grumbled, "They didn't even ask for my opinion."
Rarely seeing Liu Lanyan complain in such an almost coquettish manner, the Demon God was in a great mood, and the wicked factors within him were collectively excited: "Lanyan, what's your opinion? Tell your master."
Liu Lanyan lowered her head slightly, inwardly despising the Demon God.
Tell me, isn't that just admitting that she was pretending to be stupid?
Hmph, do you think she's really that weak?
"Sister Xinrong doesn't like me." Liu Lanyan murmured aggrievedly, her eyes welling up with tears as she blinked, her pitiful gaze truly evoking pity, not to mention the Demon God, who had always cared deeply for Liu Lanyan.
Seeing Liu Lanyan like this, he felt as if someone had ripped his heart out. He quickly whispered to comfort her, "Liu Xinya's purpose is not simple. In that case, let's see what tricks she is up to."
Liu Xinya had been scheming from the moment they met. Since she had her own agenda, how could he not let her finish her performance?
This is a good opportunity to see what she's really up to.
"Oh," Liu Lanyan responded, without offering much further comment.
The demon god suddenly sensed something was wrong, frowned slightly, and asked, "Lanyan, what did you initially think it was?"
"I thought Master thought Sister Xinya was pretty and wanted to take her back too," Liu Lanyan said innocently, looking up with a smile.
The innocent smile nearly drove the demon god mad: "Do I look like a lecher?"
"Didn't Master just take in ten beauties?" Liu Lanyan felt uncomfortable thinking about those ten beauties with different looks.
"Beauty..." The Demon God began to explain, but stopped himself after seeing Liu Lanyan's expression. Then, a slight smile appeared on his lips, and his eyes sparkled with excitement as he said with certainty, "Lanyan, you're jealous."
One sentence made Liu Lanyan furious. She glared angrily at the demon god and loudly denied, "Who's jealous? Master can take in whoever he wants. It's none of my business."
The demon god was overjoyed by the angry rebuttal and couldn't stop smiling excitedly: "Lanyan, you're just trying to cover up the truth."
Seeing Liu Lanyan's stunned expression, the Demon God suddenly realized that attending Liu Xinrong's wedding wasn't entirely without its benefits.

Chapter Sixty: Her Purpose
Jealous?
Liu Lanyan was completely terrified by those two words.
Will she be jealous of this man?
He's the one who accepts advances from other women all the time, yet he has the nerve to say she's jealous?
Liu Lanyan glanced at the Demon God and said with a smile, "I don't eat cold radish salad."
"Huh?" The demon god, who thought he had the upper hand, was confused by Liu Lanyan's words. What did she mean?
Looking closely at Liu Lanyan, he noticed that after saying those words, the girl leaned back on the cushion in a great mood and began to close her eyes to rest.
The demon god frowned. No, there was definitely a deeper meaning in those words.
After frowning and thinking for a long time, the Demon God looked at Liu Lanyan, who was resting peacefully, with a look of both laughter and tears. You can't insult someone like that. This is too roundabout.
On the one hand, she pretends not to be jealous, but on the other hand, she scolds him for being a womanizer.
This girl...
The demon god shook his head helplessly, rubbing his throbbing temples, seemingly having changed quite a bit in temperament.
Back at Wuchen Residence, Peng Zhen looked at the two people with drastically different emotions. Liu Lanyan was beaming, as if she had found a treasure, while the demon god following behind her had a gloomy and miserable look on his face, as if he wanted to say something but didn't know where to start.
Peng Zhen stood aside, his mind racing. What had happened at Liu Xinrong's wedding?
"Peng Zhen," the demon god instructed, "the Liu family will be coming to Wuchen Residence in three days. Make the necessary arrangements."
"Yes." Peng Zhen immediately composed himself and answered seriously, "Lord, how should we deal with this?"
The Liu family can hardly be considered their friends. Especially since the Lord dotes on Liu Lanyan so much, doting on Liu Lanyan, do they expect to be treated well and well after bullying her?
The demon god casually said, "As long as no one dies, that's fine."
Peng Zhen slipped and almost fell to the ground.
He nodded repeatedly in agreement. He had already memorized the demon god's instructions and fully understood their meaning: as long as no one was killed, everything else was up to him.
For example, if I'm half-dead or something unexpected happens, it doesn't matter.
"Lanyan, let's go back and rest." The Demon God reached out and put his arm around Liu Lanyan. He wanted to have a good talk with her about the jealous beauty and her subtle sarcasm towards him.
"Peng Zhen." Liu Lanyan called out to Peng Zhen timidly. Her pitiful appearance terrified Peng Zhen, who silently cried out in his heart, "No, please don't look at me like that. I'm afraid the Lord will kill me."
