"To rule over both the demon and monster realms?" The Demon Lord gasped, his eyes widening in astonishment, his body involuntarily leaning forward slightly. "The Immortal Realm actually harbors such grand ambitions?"
"Hmph." Mo Yun sneered, "The Immortal Realm has always thought they are superior to the Demon and Monster Realms. This trip to the God Realm is also to see the God Realm's attitude."
"What's the attitude of the Divine Realm?" The Demon Lord immediately gripped the armrest of his chair tightly, asking anxiously, "What does the Divine Realm mean? Do they want to unite with the Immortal Realm?"
If they really unite with the immortal realm, then what way will the demon and monster realms have to survive?
Even if they don't die, they will be trampled underfoot by the immortals. How could they possibly have any freedom in the future?
"The Immortal Realm doesn't have such a big appetite. They are not worthy of joining forces with the God Realm, nor would they dare to even dream of it," Mo Yun said slowly and deliberately, a stark contrast to the tense and anxious Demon God.
"The Immortal Realm simply wants the support of the God Realm."
"Support? Support won't work either." The Demon Lord was sweating profusely. Even if the God Realm didn't unite with the Immortal Realm, but only supported the Immortal Realm from behind, the Demon and Monster Realms still couldn't handle it. Wouldn't the result be just as tragic?
"Therefore, this idea will no longer exist in the Immortal Realm," Mo Yun said casually, as casually as if he were discussing the weather.
To the Demon Lord, it was like heavenly music, and his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down: "The Lord still has a way."
"The divine realm has no intention of interfering in the affairs of the three realms," Mo Yun said calmly, not taking all the credit for himself.
That guy, the God-King, doesn't do anything superfluous; he just fulfills his mission as the God-King.
To put it nicely, it's called being conscientious and dedicated; to put it bluntly, it's just one word—lazy.
However, this is for the best; the God's reaction has saved him a lot of trouble.
"Although we've given the people of the Immortal Realm a warning, there's no guarantee they won't do anything else." Mo Yun pondered for a moment, glanced at the Demon Lord, and asked, "How's the training of the centaurs going?"
"Following the Lord's instructions, the secret forces we trained are incredibly powerful." A hint of pride appeared on the Demon Lord's face as he mentioned this.
Hundreds of years ago, following the instructions of the demon god, he began secretly training a group of strict soldiers who would become the last guarantee for the demon realm.
"Good, that's good. We absolutely cannot let our guard down." Mo Yun nodded in satisfaction after listening. "If a small number of people come, the people of Wuchenju can hold them off. But if it's a human wave tactic, we'll still need a large army."
The Demon Lord nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I understand all of this."
After the demon realm stabilized and its strength recovered, the demon god secretly discussed with him the idea of cultivating a powerful military force unknown to the outside world.
After thinking it over, he understood the demon god's meaning and immediately set about doing it. After several hundred years, the army had achieved results.
"We don't know what the people from the Immortal Realm will do after they go back, so be careful," Mo Yun cautioned the Demon Lord with some concern.
"Yes, I will send people to keep a close eye on things." The Demon Lord nodded in agreement, always taking Mo Yun's instructions seriously.
"Be careful in the demon realm as well." Mo Yun chuckled softly, tapping his index finger lightly on the armrest of his chair. "Those who returned with the immortal realm this time, aren't they still here?"
☆, Chapter 110: Just Read It
The Demon Lord frowned slightly: "That person... is..."
Mo Yun didn't speak, but just looked at the Demon Lord with a smile.
After a moment of silence, the Demon Lord sighed helplessly, "Liu Jinli's family is really troublesome."
"Liu Xinya is from the Demon Realm, and Liu Xinya's younger brother, Liu Yechang, is actually from the Immortal Realm... It seems that Liu Jinli's schemes were very deep from the very beginning." The Demon Lord's brows furrowed tightly as he thought of Liu Jinli.
Liu Jinli never seems to have a moment of peace. His daughter, Liu Xinrong, started causing trouble in the capital, and then Liu Xinya stirred up a whole mess.
Now, things have gotten even better. Liu Jinli's son has returned, and he's even come back from the Celestial Realm.
Should he say that Liu Jinli was too prescient or too cunning?
The three children were placed in three different places, yet each child held sway over power in one of them.
"I believe the Demon Lord will handle this minor matter well." With that, Mo Yun stood up and left the palace.
After Mo Yun left, the Demon Lord immediately summoned his subordinates and ordered them to keep a close watch on Liu Yechang to prevent the Liu family from causing any more trouble.
After returning to Liu Wenxiu's residence, Mo Yun had lunch with Liu Lanyan and the others.
As for Yu Xinyi, who had been "idling" in his own residence, he was writing furiously in his study. Soon, a sheet of Xuan paper was covered with layers of mountain peaks. Only after finishing the last stroke did Yu Xinyi breathe a sigh of relief.
He glanced at the landscape painting on his desk, then sat heavily in his chair, put the brush aside, and closed his eyes without saying a word.
His brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and he seemed lost in thought. Suddenly, he got up, changed his clothes, and left the manor without taking any of his men. He wandered aimlessly through the streets.
As he walked, he suddenly saw someone ahead, his eyes lit up, and he walked over: "Where are you going, Young Master Su?"
Su Hanhao turned around in surprise and looked at the person who was wrapping their arms around his neck without any politeness. Such a move on the street was really too much.
"Your Highness, is something the matter?" Su Hanhao tried to subtly pull Yu Xinyi's arm away from his, but after a couple of attempts, he couldn't break free at all.
He couldn't use his power against Yu Xinyi, after all, Yu Xinyi was the son of the Demon Lord, someone he couldn't afford to offend.
"Young Master Su, where are you going?" Yu Xinyi asked casually, grinning mischievously.
"Just taking a walk," Su Hanhao replied dismissively to Yu Xinyi.
“That’s perfect. It’s better to meet by chance than to meet by plan. Let’s take a walk together,” Yu Xinyi said casually.
Su Hanhao stared silently at Yu Xinyi beside him. Was that what the sentence was supposed to mean?
Isn't it better to meet by chance than to invite someone to meet you?
"Your Highness, Your Highness..." Su Hanhao was forced to walk forward by Yu Xinyi, and he felt extremely uncomfortable watching the people on the street pointing and whispering about him.
"What's wrong?" Yu Xinyi asked Su Hanhao curiously, his nonchalant demeanor showing no sign of his behavior attracting attention on the street.
Then, when Liu Wenxiu saw the two people in front of him staring at Su Hanhao strangely, Su Hanhao wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
"What, Brother Liu, you don't welcome me?" Yu Xinyi seemed oblivious to Su Hanhao's troubled expression.
"How could that be? It's a great honor to have Your Highness grace us with your presence." Liu Wenxiu smiled and ushered Yu Xinyi in.
She glanced at Su Hanhao, her eyes asking him what was going on.
"I ran into Your Highness on the street. Your Highness was free, so we came together." Su Hanhao was so annoyed by Yu Xinyi on the street that he had no choice but to bring him along.
Otherwise, who knows how people would look at me with strange eyes on the street.
"It's an honor, Your Highness, please." After Liu Wenxiu ushered Yu Xinyi and Su Hanhao inside, he took his seat, and a maidservant served him fragrant tea.
Since entering, Yu Xinyi has been looking around constantly, saying, "Brother Liu, your residence is really nice. It's much better here than at the Liu family's."
"It's just any place to stay." Liu Wenxiu didn't want to talk much about his house, but instead changed the subject to Yu Xinyi, "Your Highness, it's been a long time."
“Yes, that’s right. We had so much fun back then. Hunting in the wild, those days were truly…” Yu Xinyi immediately began to reminisce about his youthful days.
The three of them chatted excitedly in the room, seemingly immersed in the past. However, whether what they were really thinking or saying was anyone's guess.
Liu Lanyan and Mo Yun huddled in their room when Peng Zhen knocked on the door, entered, announced who had come to the mansion, and then left.
Liu Lanyan turned to look at Mo Yun: "What is Yu Xinyi doing here?"
"I couldn't resist any longer," Mo Yun said with a light laugh.
"He's been pretending for so many years, why couldn't he hold back now? Isn't he afraid of being exposed?" Liu Lanyan asked curiously.
Hasn't Yu Xinyi always been pretending to be decadent and incompetent?
Yu Xinyi's style is to keep a low profile, so why is she so brazenly coming to her house now? Isn't she trying to expose herself?
“He definitely knows that I already know his disguise. His coming here probably doesn’t have such a simple purpose,” Mo Yun said after thinking for a moment.
"Given our relationship, he should have realized that you told me your secret. He's still worried about why your brother suddenly came back. He won't be able to relax until he finds out the truth."
Mo Yun had guessed Yu Xinyi's thoughts perfectly.
“Yu Xinyi is really pitiful.” Liu Lanyan pursed her lips and said, “He has been living a life of forbearance all this time, and he also has to bear the burden of being called a useless person.”
"It can only be said that he loves the demon realm too much." Mo Yun naturally saw through Yu Xinyi's thoughts. "Not competing with Yu Jinshuo for the position of demon lord, in the past, his plan was not wrong, it's just a pity..."
Hearing Mo Yun's words, Liu Lanyan nodded in agreement: "Yu Jinshuo's recent reactions have been too strange. He wants to seize the position of Demon Lord, but he doesn't seem to care much about the safety of the Demon Realm."
As can be seen from what happened in the forbidden area last time, he was willing to do such dangerous things in order to consolidate his reputation.
"Hey, have you ever thought about what if Yu Xinyi doesn't want to give up anymore?" A thought suddenly flashed through Liu Lanyan's mind.
Mo Yun raised an eyebrow: "Why would you think that?"
“Yu Jinshuo clearly doesn’t care about the safety of the demon realm, while Yu Xinyi cares so much about it. It’s not impossible that Yu Xinyi will eventually shed his disguise and seize the position of demon lord.” The more Liu Lanyan thought about it, the more likely this possibility seemed.
Mo Yun shook his head: "Yu Jinshuo's power is very deep in the demon realm now. If Yu Xinyi wants to fight him, it will inevitably endanger the stability of the demon realm."
Liu Lanyan frowned and exclaimed, "Then Yu Xinyi's situation is going to be very difficult!"
If they fight, it will cause turmoil in the demon realm, and perhaps the immortal and demon realms will take advantage of the situation.
If they don't fight, over time, Yu Jinshuo might do something that threatens the demon realm in order to become the demon lord.
This is truly a dilemma.
"Let them develop on their own," Mo Yun said with a casual smile. "I only guarantee the safety of the demon realm; I don't want to get involved in the power struggles there."
"If you don't want to participate, then don't participate. You're already tired enough anyway." Liu Lanyan squeezed Mo Yun's large hand with heartache.
The demon realm is now beset by internal and external troubles: the struggle for the position of demon lord within, and the covetous eyes of people from both the immortal and demon realms outside.
How did the Demon God manage to survive all these years?
Mo Yun looked down at the small hand covering his large hand and smiled faintly: "Lan Yan, with you by my side, I'm not tired at all."
"Alright, don't worry, I'm here with you, we'll face this together," Liu Lanyan said with a smile.
She reached out and pinched the demon god's cheeks, kneading them up and down and left and right. Watching the demon god's handsome face being kneaded into various shapes, she couldn't help but laugh happily.
Mo Yun helplessly let her knead him, reached out and grabbed the little hand that was playing tricks on his face, put it to his lips and gave it a light kiss, whispering, "Stop fooling around."
"Alright, let's get down to business." Liu Lanyan put away her playful attitude and said seriously, "What about Liu Yechang? He's basically an informant for the Immortal Realm."
“Leave him to his own devices.” Mo Yun glanced at Liu Lanyan. “If he behaves himself, nothing will happen. But if he does something excessive, then he has no reason to exist.”
After saying that, he glanced at Liu Lanyan.
Liu Lanyan waved her hand casually: "They have nothing to do with me."
