Peng Zhen, who had been waiting outside, immediately came in: "Miss Liu."
"Call a group of dancers, male only," Liu Lanyan said happily.
Now she won't be bored, and she won't have to worry about the demon god's gaze being drawn to certain women.
"Okay." Peng Zhen didn't realize there was anything wrong with the situation. He treated it as a normal pastime and naturally responded, turning around to call the dancers in to perform.
"No." The demon god's two short and forceful words immediately stopped him in his tracks, causing Peng Zhen to turn around in surprise. What was going on?
Can't we even watch dancers perform?
Is there danger inside?
"It can't be a man," the demon god said in a deep voice. "Change to a woman."
"No, I want a man." Liu Lanyan retorted loudly, refusing to budge an inch.
"Do you think I would allow a bunch of men to flirt with you?" The demon god's face turned black with anger.
"Do you want to watch a bunch of women writhing in front of you?" Liu Lanyan was equally uncompromising.
“Impossible,” the demon god said resolutely.
"Dream on." Liu Lanyan disagreed even more.
The few casual words spoken by the Demon God and Liu Lanyan, seemingly inexplicable, actually made Peng Zhen understand something.
Are these two jealous?
Peng Zhen coughed lightly and cautiously began, "My lord, Miss Liu..."
The moment he uttered those words, he was met with four sharp stares, which startled Peng Zhen so much that he almost took several steps back.
This is unfair and it affects innocent bystanders.
"What is it?" Liu Lanyan asked.
"Speak," the demon god asked in a low voice.
“Actually, if you get bored in the palace, you can go for a walk outside. The scenery around the capital is quite nice,” Peng Zhen suggested.
The demon god's furrowed brows relaxed; that was indeed a good idea.
"Where in the suburbs is as nice as Wuchen Residence?" Liu Lanyan muttered unconsciously, which immediately put the Demon God in a good mood. It seems that Lanyan has a deep affection for Wuchen Residence.
Peng Zhen showed no interest in seeing Liu Lanyan, and he didn't have any other good suggestions either, since he wasn't the type of person who liked to play around.
"How about this?" the demon god suggested, "Let's go for a walk in the streets."
"Go shopping?" Liu Lanyan's eyes lit up, and she looked at the Demon God with surprise.
Oh yeah, why didn't she think of going shopping?
She used to shop there when her father was still alive, but after a major change in her family, she pretended to be stupid and never shopped there properly again.
"Really? Really?" As if afraid that the demon god would change his mind, Liu Lanyan immediately grabbed the demon god's sleeve tightly and shook it incessantly.
"Of course it's true," the demon god said with a smile.
"Your Excellency, I'm afraid this is not appropriate," Peng Zhen advised with difficulty.
"What, are you afraid someone will harm me?" The Demon God raised an eyebrow and looked at Peng Zhen.
Peng Zhen rolled his eyes at the roof helplessly. He wasn't worried about the Lord having any problems; he was worried about the people on the street having problems.
For thousands of years, who has ever seen the Demon Lord strolling through the streets?
The Lord really appeared on the street... He simply couldn't imagine the scene...
Peng Zhen groaned helplessly, noticing that his headaches had become more and more frequent lately.
☆, Chapter 88 As Expected
Liu Lanyan is the kind of person who does what she thinks of immediately, and is definitely not the kind of person who hesitates for a long time before taking action. So, if she says she wants to go shopping, then she goes shopping.
"Miss Liu, now is not a good time. It's almost time for dinner, why don't you eat first and then talk about it?" Peng Zhen tried his best to persuade her.
Peng Zhen hoped that Liu Lanyan could forget about this matter after finishing her meal.
The Lord is out shopping; how terrifying is that?
"No need, we can eat out. There are lots of delicious foods outside, and they're definitely different from what we make in our own kitchen." Liu Lanyan was completely unaware of the "painful struggle" in Peng Zhen's eyes, and thought excitedly.
“Things outside are definitely not as exquisite as those in the royal palace,” Peng Zhen earnestly advised.
“But the atmosphere is different.” Liu Lanyan looked at Peng Zhen strangely. Why was he stopping her?
"Let's go." The Demon God stood up, not giving Peng Zhen any more time to persuade him, and pulled Liu Lanyan out of the palace.
"Your Excellency." Peng Zhen sighed and rubbed his forehead, then hurriedly followed.
"You stay here, you don't need to follow." The demon god stopped Peng Zhen in his tracks, gesturing for him to stay.
"Huh?" Peng Zhen stared at the Demon God in surprise. How could the Venerable Lord go out alone?
Without giving Peng Zhen a chance to continue speaking, the Demon God pulled Liu Lanyan away.
Peng Zhen, who was left behind, stood there without even changing his posture, pondering whether his advice had angered the Lord.
That's why the Lord was so unhappy and wouldn't even let him follow.
Has he annoyed the Lord?
Yeah, it's just going shopping, why does he have to stop me?
well……
Let's have a proper talk with the Lord later. He definitely doesn't want to control the Lord.
Peng Zhen, who was left behind in the palace, was in a dilemma. Little did he know what the demon god was thinking.
After leaving the palace, Liu Lanyan looked back at the tall palace gate and sighed softly, "Peng Zhen must be feeling down."
"Hmm?" The Demon God looked at Liu Lanyan strangely. "What's bothering him?"
"He doesn't want you to go shopping, or maybe he's annoyed that you left him here," Liu Lanyan said honestly. She could tell more or less about Peng Zhen's attitude.
"I don't need anyone right now, so why would I bring him along?" The demon god frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled.
