As she spoke, she turned her face to the side, secretly glancing at the demon god out of the corner of her eye, but not daring to look at him openly, her gaze darting left and right.
"Of course I'm jealous. Lanyan is mine. What right do they have to covet her?" The demon god turned around and stood opposite Liu Lanyan, leaving her no choice but to face him.
The words of the Demon God startled Liu Lanyan. She could tell that the Demon God's words were not a joke, nor were they their usual banter; they were spoken very seriously.
So shocked was she that she forgot her earlier shyness and looked up in astonishment, only to be met with the gentle, smiling eyes of the demon god.
She smiled gently, without a trace of mockery.
"Hmm..." Liu Lanyan scratched her head shyly, but actually felt more sweetness than shyness.
However, she still felt a little uncomfortable saying it so openly.
"Alright, let's not talk about these things. How could I possibly... possibly do that to someone like Yu Jinshuo? Don't worry." Liu Lanyan said cryptically, a little hesitant, but the Demon God understood her meaning.
"Of course I trust you." The Demon God said, gently pinching Liu Lanyan's nose with two fingers, smiling indulgently. "I trust Lanyan to do whatever she wants, but..." The Demon God's gaze turned slightly cold, "I don't trust those guys."
"Don't worry, no one will be interested in a silly girl," Liu Lanyan said with a smile and a shrug.
Apart from the Demon God, who was exceptionally kind to her upon first meeting, all other men—not just men, but men, women, young and old—disliked her.
“A pearl covered in dust.” The demon god smiled meaningfully, adding, “Moreover, this thin layer of dust was put on the pearl itself.”
"Ahem, let's analyze the situation in the Demon Realm," Liu Lanyan coughed, trying to change the subject.
Unfortunately, the Demon God didn't want to change the subject, because he had a question he wanted to ask, a question that moved him deeply.
"I really like..." The demon god's incoherent words made Liu Lanyan frown. What was he saying?
"What do you like?" Liu Lanyan's interactions with the Demon God were different from her interactions with outsiders. She would say whatever she thought and present her most innocent side to him.
"I like it. Lanyan disguised herself for me in private." The demon god leaned down and, in the instant Liu Lanyan was taken aback, rested his head on her neck, letting out a satisfied sigh.
Breathing in Liu Lanyan's unique, clean scent, I felt very satisfied.
The scorching heat brushed against her neck, the faint dampness seeming to instantly burn into her heart.
My cheeks felt slightly hot, but I couldn't move them away.
Her fingers twitched, but she finally suppressed the shyness in her heart, raised her arm, and timidly, with a hint of probing, slowly embraced the Demon God.
She had just gently wrapped her arms around him when she immediately felt a jolt beneath his arms. Before Liu Lanyan could even understand what was happening, her waist was suddenly encircled by strong arms, and her body was pulled into a broad, warm embrace.
There were no words, no extra movements, just a quiet embrace.
Quietly, they felt each other's warmth and breath, and could hear each other's clear and strong heartbeats.
I don't know if it's his or hers, they're all mixed together, moving in unison.
She sighed softly, saying nothing, as if all the words in her heart had turned into this sigh. Liu Lanyan leaned back contentedly, absorbing the warmth from the demon god.
Time flowed by quietly, and no one wanted to stop it. This moment was so beautiful that we wished it could be frozen in time.
The warm embrace made Liu Lanyan drowsy. Just then, she suddenly felt someone approaching the room and frowned in displeasure.
"Your Excellency," Peng Zhen called softly from the doorway.
The demon god turned around and hugged Liu Lanyan more comfortably: "Come in."
After receiving permission, Peng Zhen pushed open the door and came in. He saw the Demon God sitting in a chair with Liu Lanyan in his arms. He didn't feel anything special. In his mind, this was how they should be.
But why did he feel a chill when he pushed the door open, as if there was a murderous aura?
Moreover, that murderous aura was so familiar, it seemed to emanate from the Venerable Lord.
Who displeased the Lord?
Peng Zhen pondered the matter with a strange expression, but didn't dwell on it too much. He reported the situation: "The Prince of Luan and Liu Xinya have settled in. The Prince of Luan has sent orders back to have the people of the Demon Realm thoroughly investigate this matter."
"Deceitful and fraudulent." The demon god sneered. What's the point of such methods?
Everyone knows Qin Ming has powerful backers. If they really wanted to investigate, would they have waited until now?
"Pay close attention to them, especially Liu Xinya," the Demon God said.
The people from the Demon Realm stayed in the Monster Realm, and who knows what tricks they're up to.
In short, they don't come up with any good ideas.
"Yes, Yu Jinshuo's men are also secretly investigating," Peng Zhen reported the information he had gathered.
"Aren't they on the same side?" Peng Zhen asked curiously after saying that.
“It’s precisely because of this journey that Yu Jinshuo is so nervous.” Liu Lanyan leaned against the Demon God’s chest and spoke slowly, “If someone were to leak anything and tell him, he would always have to prepare in advance.”
"Moreover, it's unclear whether the Prince of Jing, who is cooperating with Yu Jinshuo, and this Prince of Luan are enemies or friends, so Yu Jinshuo naturally needs to make preparations as soon as possible."
After Liu Lanyan expressed her thoughts, the Demon God nodded affirmatively and then waved to Peng Zhen, signaling him to leave.
After Peng Zhen left, the Demon God lowered his head and asked casually, "Lan Yan, how did you know about the King of Jing?"
"Shouldn't I know?" Liu Lanyan wasn't too surprised, but asked the Demon God as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
This startled the Demon God for a moment before he smiled and said, "Yes, my Lanyan should know."
Liu Lanyan blushed and scolded softly, "Who's yours, you shameless scoundrel."
This guy is so unserious. Where did that demon god who seemed to arrive on clouds go when we first met?
