“It’s not that I’m siding with him.” Liu Lanyan looked at Liu Wenxiu helplessly. “Brother, he’s been very good to me. There are some things you don’t know. He did this for me…”
Liu Lanyan was afraid that Liu Wenxiu would misunderstand the Demon God, and was about to tell him about the Demon God's repeated protection of her, but Liu Wenxiu interrupted her.
"No need to say anything, I know he cares about you a lot."
Liu Wenxiu's words made Liu Lanyan's eyes widen in surprise.
Seeing his younger sister's surprised expression, Liu Wenxiu laughed and gently flicked Liu Lanyan's forehead with his finger, which immediately drew a disgruntled reproach from Liu Lanyan.
Liu Wenxiu burst into laughter.
A sister is a sister, no matter how old she gets, she will always be his sister.
Even though Liu Lanyan is a grown woman, in his eyes she is still that babbling baby.
"Brother knows?" Liu Lanyan exclaimed in surprise. "Does brother know what the Demon God did to me a while ago?"
"I don't know everything," Liu Wenxiu said with a smile. "I only overheard a few words on the way back, saying that the Demon Lord is currently particularly fond of a girl named Liu Lanyan."
At this point, Liu Wenxiu laughed and teased, "Lanyan, you're now as well-known as the Lord."
"No way." Liu Lanyan rarely showed a shy smile in front of her brother.
Looking at her flushed cheeks and radiant face, Liu Wenxiu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "This little girl has grown up and has someone she likes."
“Actually, I think a lot of those things are just rumors, and some are even exaggerated,” Liu Wenxiu continued the previous topic.
"Even without exaggeration, the kind of skill that's put on a show for others, if the Venerable One wanted to do it, would never let anyone see any flaws."
After Liu Wenxiu finished speaking, Liu Lanyan did not blindly speak up for the demon god, but nodded affirmatively.
Having spent so much time with the demon god, she naturally developed feelings for him, but rationally speaking, her brother's analysis was absolutely correct.
She wouldn't blindly deny her brother's concerns and thoughts from his position at this time.
She held fast to her belief in being with the demon god, but she wouldn't let her caring brother think she was a young girl blinded by love.
That would make my brother even more worried.
love……
The word that popped into her mind made Liu Lanyan's face slightly flush.
She bit her lip, blushing as she wondered when she had fallen for him.
Seriously.
Just as she was about to continue thinking, Liu Lanyan immediately stopped her thoughts, which were about to spiral out of control. Now was not the time to think about those things.
The problem between my brother and the demon god must be resolved.
Both of them were people she loved, and she didn't want them to hurt each other.
"Brother, you should understand that I don't misjudge people." Liu Lanyan's implication was that she wouldn't be fooled by the Demon God's superficial gestures.
Liu Wenxiu naturally knew what kind of person his sister was, and he had no objection to her statement.
“So, brother, you don’t need to make things difficult for him. If you want to know anything, I can tell you slowly.” Liu Lanyan decided to make things clear with Liu Wenxiu to avoid any misunderstandings between them.
"Little girl, you don't need to tell me. I have eyes, I can see," Liu Wenxiu said with a smile.
"You can see?" Liu Lanyan looked at Liu Wenxiu in confusion, wondering what her brother meant.
“I’ve been watching his words and actions ever since we met,” Liu Wenxiu told Liu Lanyan what he had seen.
“To follow you, to hide in the shadows and spy on you—I don’t think he, as the Lord, would ever do such a thing.” Liu Wenxiu couldn’t help but smile as he thought of the Demon God’s actions back then.
“After I appeared, he saw your reaction, but he didn’t take action immediately, nor did he question you. He didn’t even chase after me when I took you away.”
"Don't tell me that with the Lord's strength, he wouldn't be able to detect the direction we left in." Liu Wenxiu didn't have excessive confidence in his own strength at all; he knew his own limitations very well.
"This proves one thing: he trusts you." Liu Wenxiu paused for a moment, then continued, "He didn't suspect you of doing anything behind his back."
“You can tell from those rumors how much he values you. If he were just putting on an act, there would be no need for him to risk his own status to hide there. If he didn’t trust you, he wouldn’t have let you leave with me.”
"Yes, I trust him too." Liu Lanyan nodded with a smile, her eyes filled with undisguised pride.
She believed that even if she didn't explain Liu Wenxiu's identity to the Demon God, he wouldn't suspect her.
If he doubts her, then he is not the person she likes.
“After you gave him the letter, he stopped sending people to investigate you. His initial actions were only because he wanted to know your whereabouts and was worried about your safety.”
"After confirming that you were alright, he stopped taking action. Otherwise, with his men, I think he would have known our whereabouts and even what we were saying in less than an hour."
Liu Wenxiu did not underestimate the power of the Demon God at all, because he knew that the Demon God had this ability.
"Furthermore, after receiving Yu Jinshuo's letter, he rushed over, not targeting me, but that aggressive Yu Jinshuo."
"I ordered your favorite breakfast at the same time, not to compete with me, but because I was afraid you wouldn't like it."
Liu Wenxiu said with a smile, "It's not like the Lord is going to get worked up over a meal."
Liu Lanyan sat there listening to Liu Wenxiu's slow analysis, her smile never fading.
The more Liu Wenxiu spoke, the sweeter she felt inside.
"When he held your hand and I put my arm around your waist, he was the first to let go. It wasn't that he didn't want to pull you over, but that he was afraid that if the two of us pulled you, you would get hurt."
Only someone who truly loves someone would do such a thing.
Rather than pulling Liu Lanyan over, preventing her from getting hurt or experiencing pain is what a lover should think about most.
"So, from this point of view, the Lord is absolutely in love with you."
"Brother, you've already figured it out..." Liu Lanyan smiled shyly, embarrassed. She understood the Demon God's feelings, but she still blushed when her brother said it so bluntly.
"And..." Liu Wenxiu smiled as he looked at his younger sister and affectionately stroked her long hair.
"Furthermore, after learning that I am your brother, you actually suppressed all your temper and calmly talked to me."
Liu Wenxiu was very satisfied with the demon god's actions.
Just think about what kind of status the Demon God has.
What is his/her identity?
What kind of person can't he have?
He could probably get a ton of people to his bed with just a snap of his fingers.
Yet this esteemed lord, with his unparalleled elegance and charm, is so devoted to his sister.
He abandoned his lord's arrogance and played the piano with him calmly.
To be honest, Liu Wenxiu knew his own strength. What qualifications did he have to make the guardian deity of the demon realm lower his status to cooperate with him and be on equal footing with him?
Therefore, what enabled the Venerable One to reach this point was not his strength, but his identity—that of Lan Yan's brother.
The brother of the woman the Lord loved.
What kind of person does Your Majesty want and yet you disagree?
If you disagree, just kill them.
If a demon god wanted someone to disappear from the world, wouldn't that be easy?
The demon god did not do that, and what was his intention behind it?
It's too obvious.
“Based on these points alone, I can conclude that the Lord doesn’t just love you, he’s head over heels in love with you.” Liu Wenxiu said to himself, temporarily ignoring the blush on Liu Lanyan’s face.
"I know," Liu Lanyan hummed softly, her voice barely audible.
She knew about it, but she still felt embarrassed when it was said so bluntly.
"Brother, you mean you agree to me... you know... with him, right?" Liu Lanyan didn't say the key word; it was too embarrassing.
Anyway, her brother understood what she meant.
"Of course I agree," Liu Wenxiu said with a smile. "Why wouldn't I agree to marry a man who loves you so much?"
After hearing Liu Wenxiu's words, Liu Lanyan was completely dumbfounded. She blinked at her brother in confusion and asked the question that had been bothering her: "Then why were you talking to him like that just now, brother?"
Her cold and sarcastic remarks made me think my brother was against it.
"Haha..." Upon hearing Liu Lanyan's question, Liu Wenxiu threw his head back and laughed loudly, "Of course I agree, but wanting to marry my sister is not such a simple matter?"
Liu Wenxiu's words completely stunned Liu Lanyan. After she came to her senses, she was speechless.
So her brother did it on purpose? What kind of nonsense is this?
Are you deliberately picking a fight?
☆, Chapter Ninety-Nine: A Prophecy
A short while later, Liu Lanyan walked into the hall, her face dark, clearly in a very bad mood.
"What's wrong, Lanyan?" Upon seeing her, the Demon God immediately went to greet her, his eyes suddenly narrowing dangerously as he asked in a cold voice, "Did your brother make things difficult for you?"
"No." Liu Lanyan sighed helplessly. She could only say that her brother was becoming more and more like a child as he grew up.
The demon god glanced at Liu Lanyan, thought for a moment, and didn't continue the previous topic. After all, he was Liu Lanyan's brother, and it wouldn't be appropriate for him to say anything.
"Are we going to the palace?" The Demon God hadn't forgotten that Yu Jinshuo's matter hadn't been resolved yet.
“Yes, brother said he’ll go right away.” As Liu Lanyan was speaking, Liu Wenxiu walked in. “Lanyan, you rest here, I’ll be right back.”
"No, I'll go with you." How could Liu Lanyan possibly let Liu Wenxiu go alone?
She was worried because she didn't know what the Demon Lord and Yu Jinshuo would do.
After thinking for a while, Liu Wenxiu agreed to Liu Lanyan's suggestion: "Alright, let's go together."
Even if he doesn't agree, Liu Lanyan will probably keep pestering him until he does. So it's better to just let her come along.
