"What's wrong?" As soon as I went in, I saw Liu Lanyan resting her cheek on her hand, deep in thought.
Liu Lanyan knew that the Demon God had returned, and without even changing her posture, she asked the question she had been thinking about: "What do you think the Immortal Realm will do?"
"What can they do?" Mo Yun chuckled and said nonchalantly, "They just want to figure out how to deal with me."
"Yes." Liu Lanyan rubbed her forehead in annoyance. "I think I've caused you trouble."
If she hadn't killed the people from the immortal realm back then, things might have turned out differently.
It won't make the people of the immortal realm suspect the demon god.
If only she could find a way to escape.
Before she could finish speaking, she was suddenly pulled into a warm embrace, and Liu Lanyan bumped her forehead unexpectedly.
He wanted to struggle, he wanted to mutter curses, what's wrong with him?
But just as her hand touched the demon god's chest, she froze; he was trembling.
He, the demon god, the protector of the demon realm, was actually trembling?
What's wrong?
Liu Lanyan could sense that the demon god was very agitated, so she could only stay obediently in his arms and dare not move at all.
They remained motionless as the demon god held them.
With his ear pressed against the demon god's chest, he could clearly hear the powerful and rapid beating of his heart.
It wasn't her imagination; he was genuinely agitated.
Now, Liu Lanyan dared not move at all.
Time slowly passed, and Liu Lanyan gradually calmed down as she listened to the Demon God's heartbeat. The woman who was tightly embracing her stopped trembling and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Lanyan, I should have gone. I shouldn't have left you alone," Mo Yun said, his voice hoarse with nervousness and fear.
He almost lost her again.
He couldn't afford to lose again.
"No, it was me who told you not to go." Liu Lanyan lifted her head from the demon god's embrace and noticed that his complexion had not yet recovered and was still slightly pale.
Without thinking, he reached out and touched the demon god's cheek directly; it was ice-cold to the touch.
He must have been really scared just now.
However… Liu Lanyan thought helplessly to herself, so many days have passed, and he only just realized he was scared now. Isn’t he a little too slow?
Just as Liu Lanyan was about to laugh, a thought flashed through her mind like lightning.
It's not that he's only scared now; it's that he hasn't recovered after all these days.
For some reason, Liu Lanyan suddenly thought of this.
Did the Demon God only truly realize that she had returned after receiving the news from An Yi and the others, rushing to the town to see her, bringing her back, and taking care of her health until his brother left just now?
They returned completely unharmed?
Is that what you mean?
Liu Lanyan wasn't sure, so she slowly reached out and gently wrapped her arms around the demon god's waist. She felt a tremor run through her body beneath her arms, and then he held her even tighter.
"It's alright, nothing happened..." The demon god's reaction confirmed Liu Lanyan's earlier thoughts.
She truly hadn't expected that someone like the Demon God could be so afraid.
"Don't take such risks in the future. I won't let you take such risks." Only now, holding Liu Lanyan, did the Demon God feel a sense of reality.
For so many days, he appeared to be acting normally, but in reality, he was constantly feeling uneasy.
The past and everything before him overlapped, making him lose his sense of where he was. Even looking at Liu Lanyan in front of him, he felt a sense of unreality.
"Mmm." What else could Liu Lanyan say at this point? She could only nod vigorously in assurance.
There's no need to think anymore. My heart has completely surrendered, surrendered entirely, without holding back a single thought.
Just because—
He deserves it.
☆, Chapter 121 The Situation Behind It
"Yes, the people of the Immortal Realm will find a way to deal with me as soon as possible." Mo Yun gently released his arms, sat up straight, and changed the subject so quickly that Liu Lanyan was amazed. His mental fortitude was just too good, wasn't it?
Looking up suspiciously, she saw her slightly reddened earlobes. Because the demon god's skin was very fair, even a little bit of redness was very noticeable.
It's such a lovely pink.
It looked like a ripe peach, white with a hint of red, which made Liu Lanyan chuckle silently.
Okay, she can't laugh.
Her out-of-control behavior just now must have made even the Demon Goddess feel embarrassed, so of course she couldn't kick her while she was down.
She turned her gaze elsewhere; surely she wouldn't look anymore?
Otherwise, if she keeps watching, she really will start laughing.
"Hmm, do you know how they'll probably deal with you?" Liu Lanyan coughed lightly and continued, following the Demon God's words.
"What can they do?" Mentioning the Immortal Realm, the Demon God's expression quickly returned, and he sneered, "It's nothing more than some underhanded tricks behind the scenes, or joining forces with the Demon Realm to deal with the Demon Realm."
"You thought of that long ago," Liu Lanyan said confidently. Judging from her tone, the Demon God already knew about the Immortal Realm's subsequent actions.
Mo Yun smiled and gently pinched Liu Lanyan's cheek: "The Immortal Realm has always been used to such little gestures."
"If they really join forces with the Demon Realm, what will happen to the Demon Realm..." Liu Lanyan was a little worried. If she had been stronger back then, she could have escaped without having to fight the people of the Immortal Realm.
It has caused so much trouble.
However, Liu Lanyan only thought about it in her heart and would not say it out loud.
"It's nothing," Mo Yun said with a nonchalant smile. "The Demon Realm isn't stupid. Do you think they can just join forces with the Immortal Realm whenever they want?"
"Huh? What do you mean?" Liu Lanyan looked at the Demon God strangely. Was there something fishy going on?
Mo Yun said with a smile, "People in the Immortal Realm have no credibility. Even if we were to negotiate an alliance with the Demon Realm now, I'm afraid the people of the Demon Realm would have to think about it very carefully."
"Moreover... the Immortal Realm has always been high and mighty. It will take them a while to lower themselves." Mo Yun knew the people of the Immortal Realm all too well; they were used to being superior to others.
In their eyes, apart from the celestial realm, the demon and monster realms are nothing but ants.
"What if they join forces?" Liu Lanyan wasn't as at ease as the Demon God and asked nervously.
She wasn't as optimistic as the Demon God.
"What if..." Mo Yun scoffed dismissively, "What if is what if."
"Huh?" Liu Lanyan stared at Mo Yun in astonishment. Was that all?
Is there no solution?
At least we need to come up with a solution, right?
Seeing the deep worry in Liu Lanyan's eyes, Mo Yun smiled and reached out to ruffle her long hair. She was so cute, he couldn't help himself.
What are you doing?
Liu Lanyan frowned and glared at the demon god with dissatisfaction. She wasn't a dog, so why was he rubbing her hair like that?
He reached out to grab the claws that were causing trouble on her head. How awful!
Mo Yun smiled, letting Liu Lanyan hold his large hand, as if he wanted Lanyan to touch him on her own initiative. This method was indeed effective.
While enjoying Liu Lanyan's "initiative," Mo Yun didn't forget the serious business they were discussing.
Although he considered the important matters less important than the things at hand, he couldn't be too blatant about it.
So, he still needs to "get back to the main topic".
"If we unite, we'll wipe them out together." Mo Yun said lightly, as if he wasn't talking about a union between the immortal and demonic realms, but rather dealing with a bothersome mosquito.
The mosquitoes were buzzing around him, so he just slapped them and killed them. Why bother with all that trouble?
The demon god's arrogance left Liu Lanyan speechless.
Her red lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but unfortunately, she couldn't think of anything to say after thinking for a long time.
Well, he has the ability. It might take some effort, but if he wants to, he definitely can do it.
"Don't worry about these things, they're insignificant," Mo Yun said casually. "Focus on getting better first."
Liu Lanyan glanced at the Demon God and sighed softly. The alliance between the Immortal Realm and the Demon Realm is insignificant, isn't it?
I wonder what the people of the celestial realm and the demon realm would think if they knew what the demon god was thinking?
"Let's go, I need to recuperate first." Liu Lanyan stood up and naturally released the Demon God's large hand.
The departure of that familiar warmth left Mo Yun feeling a little lost. He rolled his eyes, stood up, and naturally took Liu Lanyan's hand, nodding, "Yes, let's go and recuperate first."
If Lan Yan doesn't hold his hand, he can take the initiative to hold hers; this problem is easily solved.
Liu Lanyan had no idea what the Demon God was thinking. She was only thinking about getting her body back in good shape as soon as possible. She didn't know how the Immortal Realm and the Demon Realm were doing. If she recovered quickly, she wouldn't be a burden and could even help the Demon God a little.
Liu Lanyan was making plans here, but things weren't going well in the Immortal Realm either.
"Senior brother..." the Confucian Venerable called out helplessly to the Heavenly Venerable, whose face was dark.
"Nothing you say today will make a difference." The Celestial Venerable waved his hand, stopping the Confucian Venerable from saying anything more.
"Senior brother, now is not the time for a fight of pride." Even though the Heavenly Venerable tried to stop the Confucian Venerable, he had no choice but to continue.
With a loud thud, the Heavenly Venerable slammed his hand on the towering tree beside him, producing a dull thud: "What do you mean by a fight of pride?"
"The realms of immortals and demons have always been irreconcilable enemies. How can the demon realm be worthy of uniting with our immortal realm?" The Heavenly Venerable raised his head and glanced sideways at the Confucian Venerable. "What is the demon realm? A bunch of ruthless bastards who only know how to pursue strength by any means necessary."
