Liu Lanyan then placed all the food that the demon god liked into his bowl and pushed it in front of him, saving him the trouble of picking it up from there.
So, they've made up already?
Peng Zhen shook his head vigorously; he truly couldn't understand the way the Lord and Miss Liu interacted.
It seems he should refrain from interfering in the future, as he could not have predicted such a situation.
"Your Majesty," Peng Zhen approached and bowed, slowly saying, "The Demon Realm has already begun to stir."
"Oh? Who was sent to take the blame?" The Demon God had long anticipated how the Demon Realm would handle Qin Ming's matter. Besides, they had already made an agreement in the forbidden area. Naturally, King Luan would first resolve the issues between the Demon and Demon Realms before dealing with the internal problems in the Demon Realm.
“Yes…” Peng Zhen was about to speak when the demon god waved his hand to stop him.
"Forget it, there's no need for that. Let's talk about it after this is resolved. How many days will it take for the Demon Realm to send the person over?" The Demon God didn't care which scapegoat the Demon Realm sent. It was just a name anyway. As for whether the identity was real or whether it was related to Qin Ming's matter, that was just a matter of words.
"Six days." Peng Zhen smiled, understanding the meaning of the Demon God.
"Well, we can go listen to it in six days," the demon god said casually.
He'll just give it a nod or a nod at most.
After breakfast, Liu Lanyan and the Demon God strolled around casually.
The Demon Lord's palace was actually quite beautiful, not overly luxurious, but filled with the dignity and majesty of a high-ranking person.
Unlike the tranquility of Wuchenju, this place gives a stronger sense of being a place where royal power was concentrated.
Even the flowers, plants, and trees inside are meticulously trimmed, creating a different style from the naturally formed Wuchenju.
I've been at the palace for a long time but haven't had a proper chance to explore it. I had nothing to do after breakfast today, so I thought I'd take a look around to avoid getting bored.
Given that even the Demon God had strolled through the streets, no one in the palace felt surprised to see the Demon God and Liu Lanyan wandering in the palace gardens. They simply bowed from a distance and then kept their distance, not wanting to disturb the Demon God and his companion.
Everyone knows that the Demon God looks like a gentle and harmless person, but he is not a soft-hearted person.
His smile was ever-present, but it lacked warmth.
The Demon God only shows a genuinely gentle smile when he is with Liu Lanyan, so no one goes out of their way to make trouble by getting close to him.
After strolling through the gardens for a while, I wandered around the palace at my leisure. Each palace had its own unique style, and they were quite a sight to behold.
Before I knew it, I had walked to the gate of a courtyard and heard the sound of porcelain breaking and loud cursing coming from inside.
"...What are you thinking? You won't even show your face!" The familiar voice was clearly the Demon Lord loudly reprimanding someone.
Liu Lanyan looked at the Demon God in confusion. What was he doing?
She had never seen the Demon Lord so out of control before. Although the Demon Lord usually seemed a bit weak and always put the Demon God first and was very indulgent towards Yu Jinshuo, she knew that the Demon Lord was not that kind of person.
At Liu Xinrong's wedding, the Demon Lord slapped Yu Jinshuo. That decisive action showed that the Demon Lord was definitely not a person without his own opinions.
Why would someone who is usually so gentle and refined act so abnormally?
Seeing that Liu Lanyan seemed quite interested, the Demon God pulled Liu Lanyan over, and the guards at the door immediately bowed and did not even stop them.
What a joke! Wherever the demon god wants to go, why are they stopping him?
This is only to give them face by letting them enter through the main gate; otherwise, they could have just flown in, which would have been much shorter.
As I entered the courtyard, I heard the reprimanding voice coming from the study; the loud reprimand was exceptionally stern.
As the Demon God and Liu Lanyan approached, the sounds inside the study suddenly stopped. The Demon Lord came out and was slightly taken aback when he saw the Demon God outside the door. He then reacted and went to greet them.
"My lord, what brings you here? Is there something you need?"
If an ordinary person were asked this question, they would definitely be terrified, thinking it was the Demon Lord's rebuke. But who is the Demon God?
In response to the Demon Lord's question, Luo Luo replied magnanimously, "Just strolling around."
Liu Lanyan was speechless for a moment, then silently turned her head. This confidence was simply overflowing.
"Should we have the palace servants lead the way for Your Majesty to confidently tour the palace and give Miss Liu a brief explanation?" The Demon Lord answered quite normally, without finding it strange at all.
"Is something the matter?" Since Liu Lanyan was curious, the Demon God asked.
Upon hearing the Demon God's question, the Demon Lord did not hide anything and stepped aside to invite the Demon God into the study.
As soon as I stepped inside, I saw fragments of porcelain scattered on the ground, clearly indicating that the demon lord had been very angry.
Upon closer inspection, Yu Xinyi was sitting in a chair, behaving very properly.
I never expected to see Yu Xinyi in the Demon Lord's study. What is he doing here?
Before the demon gods could ask, the demon lord sighed, "That day, everyone was maintaining order in the royal city, and all the soldiers of the demon realm were maintaining order, but he hid in his mansion and didn't even show his face."
The Demon Lord, somewhat disappointed, gritted his teeth and said, "I don't expect him to do anything, but at least he should come out and let the people see him, so they can feel a little more at ease."
Liu Lanyan understood what the Demon Lord meant.
When the people were all taking refuge and felt their lives were threatened, if Yu Xinyi had appeared among them, it would have at least made them feel a little more at ease.
"Yu Jinshuo is here..." Yu Xinyi muttered, but before she could finish speaking, she immediately drew the glare of the Demon Lord, which frightened her so much that she immediately fell silent and shrank back.
Yu Xinyi usually does nothing, but he is still very wary of the Demon Lord when he is truly angry.
"Yu Jinshuo is Yu Jinshuo, and you are you. He's on the city wall, can't you go and see the people?" The Demon Lord angrily pointed at Yu Xinyi and shouted, disregarding the presence of the Demon God. He simply couldn't hold back anymore.
However, it's no wonder the Demon Lord reacted so strongly. How many fathers wouldn't be angry if their own son acted like this?
The demon god smiled but didn't say anything; he certainly wouldn't interfere in other people's family affairs.
“Let’s go somewhere else,” the demon god said, turning to Liu Lanyan.
Liu Lanyan nodded obediently and left with the demon god.
After seeing the Demon God and Liu Lanyan off at the door of the study, the Demon Lord watched their departing figures and sighed softly to himself.
The Demon God truly dotes on Liu Lanyan, and he would never watch such "excitement," which is probably just Liu Lanyan's curiosity.
The demon god let Liu Lanyan come in and look around, he really spoiled her rotten.
After Liu Lanyan and the demon god left, they lost interest in going anywhere else and returned to their residence.
Once inside and making sure no one was around, Liu Lanyan casually remarked, "Why do you have to berate Yu Xinyi like that?"
The demon god smiled, looking at Liu Lanyan thoughtfully: "Lanyan, don't you know?"
Liu Lanyan glanced at the Demon God with a hint of complaint. This guy knew so much, yet he insisted on asking her. What did he think this was? An exam?
"I doubt the Demon Lord would want Yu Xinyi to inherit the Demon Lord's position either," Liu Lanyan grumbled inwardly, without saying anything more, as business was more important.
"Hmm." The Demon God nodded. "Anyone can see that the Demon Lord doesn't like his son."
"So, that's how I figured it out." Liu Lanyan winked mischievously at the Demon God, about to say something more, when she suddenly paused and abruptly changed the subject, "We'll talk about it later, I need to pee."
With that, he released the demon god's hand and hurriedly ran away.
The demon god frowned slightly as he watched Liu Lanyan's retreating figure.
Instead of chasing after them immediately, she turned around and went back to her bedroom.
Peng Zhen, who was waiting in the room, came forward and was about to say something when the Demon God stopped him: "Wait a moment, whatever you need to say."
"Yes." Peng Zhen suppressed his suspicions and watched as the Demon God quickly entered the inner room. What happened to the Venerable Lord?
The Demon God frowned deeply. What was Lan Yan hiding from him that required such urgent attention?
☆, Chapter Ninety-Five: A Formidable Rival Appears
Seeing the Demon God's furrowed brows, Peng Zhen was deeply worried. What could be causing the Venerable Lord such distress?
"Lanyan has something to do." The Demon God told Peng Zhen directly, saving him the trouble of guessing.
"Should we notify our people?" Peng Zhen's first reaction was to gather his men.
Liu Lanyan had to resolve whatever the matter was, even if the Lord hadn't given any instructions yet, he should still know.
"You're too anxious, you don't even know what happened to her." The Demon God's words left Peng Zhen speechless. He didn't even know what happened, yet the Venerable Lord already knew that Liu Lanyan was in trouble?
Their level of understanding is really high.
Then, to Peng Zhen's stunned gaze, he saw the Demon God do something that was extremely inconsistent with the status of a Venerable Lord, something that a Venerable Lord would never normally do.
The demon god extended his perfectly sculpted fingers, which seemed to be carved from jade, and wrote several intricate characters in mid-air. The characters condensed in the air, then floated and transformed into ripples that lingered in mid-air.
The faint ripples slowly spread, and a clear sound rang out.
"What? The person is missing?" Liu Lanyan's exclamation came from inside, startling Peng Zhen. He had never heard Liu Lanyan react with such surprise before.
What's missing?
Who is missing?
"Really? Hmm, I understand." The person on Liu Lanyan's side seemed to be saying something, and the heaviness in Liu Lanyan's voice could be clearly heard.
A silence fell, and the ripples of emptiness in the air gradually subsided before rapidly spreading again: "He came to find me?"
Surprise mixed with shock; clearly, Liu Lanyan had never expected this news.
"Okay, I understand." After a pause, Liu Lanyan said, seemingly with a sense of helplessness.
The conversation then ended.
The ripples in the air returned to calm, and with a flick of the demon god's finger, the air returned to normal.
Only then did Peng Zhen finally come to his senses, staring at the Demon God in astonishment, and asked in surprise, "Lord, you...you were eavesdropping..."
How could the Lord have done such a thing?
The demon god rolled his eyes at Peng Zhen, silently blaming him: "This is concern."
What do you mean by eavesdropping? You really don't know how to talk.
"Concern? Concern?" Peng Zhen's jaw almost dropped. He frowned and kept thinking, but he still felt like he was eavesdropping more.
"Pay close attention lately and see who's trying to cause trouble for Lanyan," the Demon God said calmly, recalling what he had just overheard.
