Just as Luo Yan discovered the ghost, Sarah also immediately noticed its presence and coldly shouted.

"Who's there!"

Having its whereabouts revealed, the ghost floated out and raised its hands to indicate it had no ill intentions.

"Please don't misunderstand... I'm not any suspicious person."

"That's what all suspicious people say." Octo, who was usually quiet, cracked a sinister smile and turned his gaze toward the Demon King beside him, waiting for Lord Demon King to speak.

Luo Yan, on the other hand, didn't say a word, merely assessing the transparent spirit with a playful look in his eyes.

Noticing the playfulness in Luo Yan's gaze, Miranda laughed awkwardly and braced herself to greet him.

"The, the respected Lord Demon King, long time no see..."

"Indeed, it's been a long time," Luo Yan nodded, his tone teasing as he said, "I thought you might come to me of your own accord, if only to say 'thanks' or something, but it seems you've forgotten your savior."

"That's not the case," Miranda hurriedly denied, saying, "I've always kept your kindness in my heart, it's just that—"

"Alright, I was just joking," seeing Miranda in a rush to explain, Luo Yan grinned and casually said, "Thanks for the help with Iron Teeth City."

Seeing that the Demon King wasn't dwelling on the past issues, Miranda breathed a sigh of relief and said with a shy smile.

"It was no trouble at all. At that time, your minions were teaching me the 118 elements of the Great Graveyard... I just happened to practice with those elemental summons."

The 118 elements of the Great Graveyard?

Luo Yan was momentarily stunned, his expression quickly turning comical as he then summoned Youyou in his mind.

"...That guy who gives muffled lectures like he's underwater in a chemical pool, it was him?"

Youyou replied in a cheery voice.

"That's right, it's him! What is it, Lord Demon King?"

Luo Yan: "...Nothing."

The world was really too small.

He never would have imagined these two would end up together.

But on second thought, it seemed quite normal, as only abnormal people attract other abnormal ones.

As a talent chosen by Novel, perhaps no one else would actually understand those complex theories, let alone assimilate them.

Watching the Demon King fall silent, Miranda hesitated for a moment before speaking up.

"About the matter with Novel... I actually have a lot I want to explain to you in person, but I don't know where to start."

Luo Yan said unconcernedly.

"It doesn't matter, that issue is already in the past for me, and I hope you think the same."

Seeing Miranda wanting to say more, Luo Yan suddenly changed the subject with a smile, throwing out an olive branch.

"Rather than dwelling on things that are already over, I want to ask if you're interested in joining my hunt."

Miranda was taken aback.

"A hunt?"

"That's right," Luo Yan's eyes narrowed as he looked toward the depths of the maze, and he said with a faint smile, "A group of fools who seem to have forgotten who is the master of this maze. I didn't have the time to deal with them before, but now I'll make them remember."

Hearing the murderous undertone in his voice, Miranda felt a chill run down his spine.

He wasn't someone who enjoyed fighting and killing, and instinctively wanted to refuse, yet he didn't want to miss this perfect opportunity to mend his relationship with the Demon King.

After some hesitation, he finally managed to squeeze out a smile that was both reluctant and brimming with feigned interest.

"I'd be happy to serve."

Riding on the back of a spider, Luo Yan laughed heartily and gestured for him to follow.

"Then keep up!"

The group made their way deeper into the fourth level of the maze.

In the distance, Chemical Pool who had just logged on arrived late from Iron Teeth City, only to find that the Demon King and his party had already "slipped" away without a trace.

And to make matters worse, the guy had even taken the NPC he had managed to lure with much effort!

Discovering that Miranda had disappeared, Chemical Pool cursed loudly in his mind.

His leveling tool!

A spell-casting powerhouse that could take hits!

And to think the Demon King had swiped him away?!

Just yesterday, he had finally gotten the hang of it after leveling up five times, and he hadn't even enjoyed it to the fullest yet.

"Damn it!!!"
