"A thin coffin, a handful of yellow earth, do you think Brother-in-law Qin Ming can leave in peace?" Liu Lanyan stared reproachfully at Liu Xinya, shaking her head painfully, "I never thought my sister Xinya was such a cold-blooded and heartless person!"
"Even though Brother-in-law Qin Ming has made a thousand and one mistakes, he went to such lengths for the one he loved, only to end up with such a tragic fate. It's truly pitiful and lamentable..." Liu Lanyan sighed endlessly.
“Miss Liu, that’s not the right way to put it.” Prince Luan spoke slowly from the side, clearly seeing that Liu Xinya was completely unable to face the situation.
It seems the rumors about Liu Lanyan are true; she is a woman who keeps her abilities hidden.
"Qin Ming is using Liu Xinya's name to attack the demon realm. He already took Liu Xinya over, so there's no question of him acting rashly for a woman." King Luan took over the conversation. If Liu Lanyan continued to press him, who knew what Liu Xinya would say in the end.
"Oh? Not for Sister Xinya?" Liu Lanyan thought for a moment, then suddenly slapped her forehead and exclaimed, "Oh dear, look at my memory!"
"Brother-in-law Qin Ming already admitted that Sister Xinya is safe in the places he knows. He admitted it when we were attacking the demon realm." Liu Lanyan pursed her lips shyly and apologized to Liu Xinya.
"Sister Xinya, I'm sorry, I forgot. I didn't mean to say that to you." Liu Lanyan's apology did not calm Liu Xinya down at all; on the contrary, it made her even more depressed.
You've already said it all, you've already said it all, so what's with this apology now?
With that apology, she didn't even have a chance to retaliate with insults. It seems she can't vent her anger; it's truly frustrating.
She was inwardly upset, but she had to maintain a magnanimous facade, slowly shaking her head: "It's alright, how could we sisters hold such a grudge?"
"Sister Xinya is the best." Liu Lanyan smiled happily, and when she saw Liu Xinya and Liu Jinli breathe a sigh of relief, she suddenly asked, "Now that Sister Xinya is alright, why is Brother-in-law Qin Ming still attacking the demon realm?"
"Does he have nothing better to do than attack the demon realm for fun? Or does he have a grudge against the demon realm?" Liu Lanyan's series of questions made Liu Xinya's heart, which had just been at ease, jump again.
"If a demon general isn't attacking the demon realm for his wife or for personal reasons, then what is his motivation?"
At this moment, Liu Lanyan was completely different from her innocent and cute appearance just now. She stared coldly at the King of Luan and Liu Xinya from the Demon Realm.
"Since Qin Ming hid Liu Xinya and used that as an excuse to attack the Demon Realm, what exactly is his purpose? As a general of the Demon Realm, doesn't Qin Ming know how difficult it is to attack the Demon Realm? Also, what benefits does he gain from attacking the Demon Realm? Shouldn't the Demon Realm give us an explanation for these questions?"
Liu Lanyan bombarded the Demon King of Luan with questions, pressuring him relentlessly.
"Can't we just cover everything up by saying it was Qin Ming's private action? What if someone from our demon realm attacked the demon realm on their own? We could just say it was their private action too?"
Liu Lanyan ignored the sudden change in everyone's expression and turned to ask the Demon God, "Master, am I right in my understanding?"
"Of course not." Even if Liu Lanyan's question was correct, the Demon God would unconditionally and absolutely support her.
"Your Majesty, this matter..." Liu Xinya wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Liu Lanyan.
Liu Lanyan completely ignored Liu Xinya's words: "Master, is it permissible for one of us to engage in such a private matter?"
"Of course," the Demon God said with a smile, a smile that was exquisitely beautiful, his eyes filled with doting affection for Liu Lanyan.
In Liu Lanyan's eyes, it was the height of happiness, but for the people of the Demon Realm, it was absolutely terrifying.
Not to mention the Demon God's casual remark that struck them like a bolt from the blue: "The Thirteen Fiends of the Dark Night, you are arbitrarily using them for 'private' activities."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall gasped in unison.
The Thirteen Fiends of the Dark Night?
If the Thirteen Fiends of the Dark Night were truly mobilized to attack the Demon Realm, it would definitely not be as simple as Qin Ming did.
Taking the heads of the leaders of the demon realm would be as easy as taking candy from a baby.
Luan Wang suddenly felt a chill run down his spine and subconsciously reached up to touch his neck; it was so cold.
"Lanyan, you can't say that. Why did you go to attack the Demon Realm?" Liu Xinya was frightened by the words of the Demon God and Liu Lanyan, and retorted without thinking.
As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately felt two reproachful gazes sweep over her. When she looked up, she saw Luan Wang frowning and glaring at her angrily.
Liu Xinya's heart skipped a beat. Had she said something wrong just now?
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will investigate this matter thoroughly upon my return and give the Demon Realm a reply as soon as possible," King Luan said respectfully as he rose.
The demon god nodded in satisfaction.
The matter had come to a "perfect" conclusion, and the Demon Lord immediately ordered the waiters to serve the dishes. Then, a group of dancers gracefully arrived and sang and danced to the music.
The food was delicious, the wine was fine, and the martial artists, both men and women, were all radiant. However, none of them were paying attention to the banquet; they were all preoccupied with their own thoughts.
Of course, the only one who could truly enjoy this feast was Liu Lanyan. Once her mission was accomplished, she wouldn't care what others thought.
Faced with the delicious food in front of them, they didn't miss a thing and ate with great relish.
While exchanging pleasantries with the Demon Lord, King Luan was quickly thinking about what to do next.
Liu Xinya realized she had said something wrong and felt uneasy, wondering what she had done wrong.
In addition, she had just lost her husband and was in a period of grief, so naturally she had no interest in the food in front of her.
The others were constantly calculating the current situation between the demon and monster realms, and the more they thought about it, the more confused they became.
Qin Ming's incident serves as a wake-up call; they must be more vigilant, as the Demon Realm may very well be preparing to attack the Monster Realm.
So many years have passed, and the Demon Realm has always been eyeing the Monster Realm covetously, ready to make a move. Could this be the prelude to war?
Yu Jinshuo stared thoughtfully at Liu Lanyan. The words he had just spoken seemed unrelated, but in reality, they had gradually driven Liu Xinya to a dead end.
The story portrays Qin Ming's deep affection as an excuse to criticize Liu Xinya's cold-bloodedness. However, when Liu Lanyan suddenly realizes that it was all a scheme designed by Qin Ming, it is deduced that Qin Ming's actions brought him no benefit whatsoever.
It's like using negation, negation, and more negation to arrive at an affirmation.
That means the Demon Realm's attack on the Monster Realm must be orchestrated by someone behind the scenes.
Now that things have come to this point, if the people of the Demon Realm still claim that this was Qin Ming's private action, they'd be being a bit too shameless.
No one would believe it if you told them.
That's why Prince Luan so readily agreed to go back and investigate. It wasn't that Prince Luan was easy to talk to, but rather that he had been forced into that situation by Liu Lanyan.
Yu Jinshuo couldn't help but cheer inwardly. What a clever Liu Lanyan! She managed to use such a roundabout method in such a short time.
This approach didn't get straight to the point. It first lulled the demons into a false sense of security, then directly attacked the core issue, leaving them no room for rebuttal.
Who told them to deny it again and again?
Liu Lanyan used words to manipulate the people of the Demon Realm, making them deny themselves and sealing off all their escape routes—a ruthless move indeed.
They left no way out for anyone.
Yu Jinshuo's admiring gaze followed Liu Lanyan. Why didn't he marry her back then?
If he marries her, his plans will probably go much more smoothly, right?
Even the time will be shortened significantly.
Not only did Yu Jinshuo see Liu Lanyan's brilliance, but Yu Xinyi, who had been sitting in the background, also heard it.
Despite her seemingly idle appearance, Yu Xinyi possesses an exceptionally meticulous mind.
Both of their eager gazes were fixed on Liu Lanyan. Of course, they wouldn't be too presumptuous in public, and ultimately knew to avoid being seen by others.
However, they forgot one problem.
That means someone has an extremely possessive desire for Liu Lanyan. How could he not find out?
The demon god frowned slightly. It wouldn't be good for him to say it directly at this moment, so he whispered in Liu Lanyan's ear, "Lanyan, was the song and dance good?"
Liu Lanyan, who was still sulking with the demon god, immediately perked up upon hearing this: "Wow, that's amazing! Look at that man, how handsome he is, and his physique is incredible. He can even do such difficult dance moves, he's so amazing!"
She wanted to infuriate him so he would sneak up on her.
"Yes, indeed. The Demon Lord's dancers are quite good. This dance requires a lot of strength in the waist, otherwise one cannot dance it well..." the Demon God commented objectively.
Hmm? Waist?
"What are you looking at? Take your eyes off me!" Liu Lanyan roared in fury.
After ambushing her, he even dared to look at other people's waists! What a despicable guy!
"I didn't look at the woman, the man..." the demon god whispered, sounding utterly innocent.
"Shut up! No one is allowed to look, you can only look at me!" Liu Lanyan immediately went berserk, completely forgetting the occasion as she roared.
After her shout, the bustling hall fell silent, and all eyes were on her. Only then did Liu Lanyan realize the foolish thing she had just done.
With a low groan, Liu Lanyan thought, "This is so embarrassing... I want to find a block of tofu and smash my head against it."
There was no tofu, but there was shelter, so Liu Lanyan plunged headfirst into the demon god's arms without a second thought, completely unaware of anything else.
The demon god leisurely embraced Liu Lanyan and said to the demon lord, "Lanyan is tired."
Then, carrying Liu Lanyan, who was burying her head in his stomach like an ostrich, he left without a care in the world, ignoring the stunned crowd in the hall.
He chuckled to himself, thinking that Lan Yan, who coveted him, would now "tell" those two guys herself who she cared about.
Want to compete with him?
So tender!

Chapter Title: Chapter Eighty-Seven: Each with its Own Deeper Meaning
In an eerie silence, everyone watched as the demon god gracefully departed. Peng Zhen followed behind the demon god, not even daring to turn back.
Is this still the demon god we know and love?
Shameless!
This is utterly shameless!
Instead of expressing his jealousy, he made a young woman shout it out in public. Peng Zhen can only describe this behavior with two words: ruthless!
