In the past, he feared that this guy would swallow him whole, so naturally, he didn't dare to tease her like this.
But perhaps because he advanced to the Silver Level, his courage grew as well.
No wonder the demons in Hell all want to grow stronger; if your strength doesn't match up, you'd miss out on so much fun.
On the surface, however, it was a different story.
Just as the two were bantering, Mia suddenly lowered her voice and her tone turned serious.
"By the way, there's sothing I need to remind you about, recently soone has been pressuring the Demon King Managent Departnt through the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
Luo Yan chuckled lightly.
"Oh? And what is the opinion of the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"
"They don't have much of an opinion, just the sa old things, like thinking that since the Maze in Thunder County has settled down, the Faith Tax should be submitted and stuff. But don't you find it strange? You haven't used any resources from the rear, so why should you have an unjustified burden? I even scolded them in the eting that ti!" Mia said indignantly.
Being the only newcor in the entire Demon King Managent Departnt who dared to point at the superior's nose and scold them during a eting was probably her.
Luo Yan, however, didn't have much of an emotional response and even comforted Mia instead.
"Calm down, they just made a suggestion, they haven't implented anything yet. At worst, I'll just invite them to visit my Maze, and arrange for a few adventurers to train them up a bit. But co to think of it, their rush to and the Vassal Contract is indeed a little odd. I'm supposed to have a 'novice protection period' of 50 years, so why change the contract less than a year into my tenure?"
"Exactly! That's the problem here," Mia muttered softly, "Although I don't have any evidence, it's obviously soone from the Dragon family, right? After all, you haven't provoked anyone else, have you? My guess is that maybe they're jealous of your achievents at Black Wind Castle and the Maze of Thunder County."
Luo Yan raised an eyebrow, pondered a mont, then smiled: "So, they want to cause so trouble for again?"
Mia didn't answer directly, she just gave him a glance: "Don't underestimate them, the Dragon family has a solid foundation in Demon City, although they're slightly inferior to us... I'm just reminding you to be cautious, since that last duel, you're no longer a nobody in Demon City."
Luo Yan raised an eyebrow, fully understanding the implication.
It seed dear Mia was secretly helping him quite a bit again.
"Thank you."
"Wh-what are you thanking for? I didn't help you with anything..." Mia's tail stiffly wagged, the tips of her ears turning slightly red, but she stubbornly said, "I'm just reminding you to be careful and not to steal the spotlight or cause trouble. If sothing happens, I shouldn't have to clean up after you..."
Luo Yan didn't refute her explanation, a slight smile playing on his lips, understanding her goodwill.
Though he rarely expressed it, he rembered all the help the Padric Family had given him.
Seeing that heartwarming smile, Mia's face turned crimson, nearly dripping with blush, and she clumsily changed the subject.
"Oh, by the way, the day after tomorrow evening, my birthday party... you're attending, right? You said in your letter you were coming back, so I didn't send you an invitation, planning to tell you in person instead."
"It's your birthday?" Luo Yan looked at her in surprise.
Mia was montarily stunned, a hint of clear confusion in her dreamy eyes.
"Yeah... wasn't that the reason you chose to co back now?"
Luo Yan paused, gently patted his already tidied cloak, and elegantly nodded slightly.
"That's right."
"Wait a minute—explain yourself!"
Just as Mia wanted to question further, a loud voice suddenly pierced through the hall's main door, rushing in like a hurricane.
"Bro!!! You're back?!"
