Hmm.
They really are a loving couple.
Luo Yan tried thinking it through but couldn't find any other reason, feeling for the guy for a second... even if it was just a second.
After all, waking up in the manor is better than being in the Temple; he really couldn't empathize.
Mia glanced around, suddenly jumped off the sofa, and said on a whim.
"Co on! Let's not just sit here; let's go out for a walk!"
"Where to?"
"Of course, go stroll down the street! This is your turf, shouldn't you personally inspect your territory?" Mia raised her eyebrows, speaking as if it were the most obvious thing.
"Black Wind Castle... what's there to stroll around, it's just an industrial area, besides factories there's only goblins." Luo Yan said helplessly, but still got up from his chair.
"But hey, this is your handiwork after all!" Mia crossed her arms, raised her head proudly, and said, "As a cadre of the Demon King Managent Departnt, of course I need to personally inspect the Demon King's achievents!"
She emphasized the words "cadre of the Demon King Managent Departnt", yet there was a hint of insecurity in her proud expression, as if afraid Luo Yan would challenge her authority.
Luo Yan looked at her puffed-up yet unsure expression and couldn't help but chuckle.
He knew what she was worried about.
It was nothing but the concern that after becoming a council mber, he might look down on the position of "Demon King", or perhaps no longer "fear" her.
But honestly, she was probably mistaken; he was never intimidated by her back in the class, even occasionally managing to upset her as a Bronze… though, it's not sothing to boast about.
In any case, it wasn't just because of the Padric family connection that he interacted with her, and he has always appreciated her company and care deep down.
Watching her cute, worried expression, he couldn't help but smile and gently patted her head.
"Alright, my lady, I'll accompany you on this walk."
Upon hearing that tender voice, Mia's face imdiately blood with a joyful smile.
But soon, she realized her emotions were showing, quickly cleared her throat, attempting to mask the undeniable glee with a lifted nose and chin.
"Ahem—! So… Luo, Luo Yan, hurry and take your superior for a look around, let see how your rebuilding efforts are!" She attempted to issue orders in a dignified tone, chest puffed out.
Seeing her so into the role, Luo Yan couldn't help but joke.
"So… where would the lovely Miss Mia like to start inspecting my work?"
As expected, her defenses were as low as ever, and upon hearing the word "lovely", a blush spread from her fair earlobes, even though it's just a polite phrase.
Despite trying to cover her embarrassnt with a proud expression, the subtle change in her deanor betrayed her, becoming increasingly unable to hide her raised corners of the mouth.
"...Hmph, heh heh heh… Smooth talk won't work on your superior, you know."
Luo Yan chuckled, a sly gleam in his eyes.
"Really?"
"Yes!" Mia answered decisively.
—— But, undeniably, her ear lobes grew even redder, and the blush spread to her cheeks.
Without continuing to tease the cute Miss Mia, Luo Yan thought for a mont, gazing out the window.
"I just rembered a good place... Say, can you handle spicy food?"
"Spicy? Well, it's okay." Mia's eyes flickered slightly, swallowing a bit, her voice holding a slight hint of unnoticeable nervousness.
It seems she's not very good with it.
Luo Yan was about to suggest another place.
Suddenly, a light laugh ca from outside the window, carrying a mischievous tone.
"Hehe… Can't even handle chili, no wonder you're a low-level Enchanting Demon... Kids should head ho quickly; nightti is for adults, get it?"
Luo Yan was slightly taken aback, instinctively turning around.
On the window ledge sat a familiar figure—a girl in a dark purple gown, looking at him with a playful smile.
He recognized that dress; it was bought during a previous shopping trip.
"Vivian?!"
Mia's eyes widened, staring dumbfoundedly at the girl on the window ledge, with a mixed expression like she had swallowed a fly.
When did she get here?!
"Why are you sitting on the window ledge, get down." Luo Yan coughed, his voice slightly authoritative.
Vivian was quite obedient; her shoulders quivered, and she quickly jumped from the window ledge, and amidst the steward's cries, she hurriedly ran up to them.
The wooden door burst open with a gust of wind, and she swiftly claid Luo Yan's arm, using a syrupy voice so sweet it caused goosebumps to plead.
"Brother! Vivian eats everything, spicy or bell peppers are fine! Let that picky Enchanting Demon eat garbage, you take !"
"..." Luo Yan looked at her silently, montarily unsure how to respond.
Mia stood completely frozen, and in the next second, the heart-shaped tail stood upright like an antenna.
"Hey! What's with you hogging his arm?!"
Vivian blinked, not only tightening her grasp with her ten fingers but also pushing forward forcefully: "Of course, I'm here to be affectionate, what else could I do? After all, I am his darling sister, it's natural for us to have a close relationship. Unlike so people who only know how to steal other people's brothers."
"You-you-you—!"
