After hesitating for a long time, she tentatively spoke in a low voice.

"...Um."

"What is it?"

"...Can I call you brother?"

Vivian rushed through this statement and then, feeling it was inappropriate, quickly added afterward.

"Of course… when there's no one else around."

Luo Yan simply shrugged his shoulders.

"I don't mind; whatever you like."

He didn't refuse!

Vivian's face broke into a happy smile. She moved her mouth for a while, then finally squeezed out a voice quieter than a mosquito's.

"Bro..."

It was like a spell more difficult to utter than a forbidden spell, a single word that drained all her strength.

Watching a Vampire emitting steam as if boiling, Luo Yan revealed a subtle expression and spoke in a gentle tone.

"Should I respond with something?"

"No, no need."

Vivian hurriedly shook her head, her hands bracing against her tense knees as she shifted her gaze to the ground and giggled quietly with a bashful smile showing her fangs.

"..." Luo Yan unexpectedly glanced at her, never thinking that his sister, who never blinked an eye when killing, could have such an unexpected side.

But remembering that this place was Hell, he came to terms with it.

Perhaps this was the norm here.

The abnormal one was just himself.

"Brother."

"What is it?"

"Nothing."

Vivian's face revealed a happy smile again, swinging her hanging legs back and forth from the bench, like oars of the friendship boat.

"I just wanted... to call you that."

Her brother did not hate her.

Having personally confirmed this, she felt immensely satisfied at the moment, even the dull pain in her neck seemed less prominent.

Watching Vivian drawing closer, Luo Yan's expression grew increasingly bizarre, feeling that something was amiss with her.

Just as he hesitated whether to stand up and sit on the other side, a rustling noise suddenly came from the forest.

He looked up and saw that deer again.

But unlike last time, it didn't wink at him but shyly darted into the bushes beside.

Suddenly, a figure appeared from the other side of the forest.

Vivian looked up towards the figure, her face instantly showing surprise.

"Professor Adonia?! When did you get back?"

She hadn't heard the door open at all previously.

Thinking that professor might have been here for a long time, Vivian's expression turned anxious and uncomfortable.

"Back?" Looking at the child, Professor Adonia smiled demurely and amiably said, "I've been here all along."

"All along?!"

"Yes, but not around here, rather pruning the vines climbing the glass windows... Those little ones are always restless, greedily wanting to be closer to the sun, not knowing it could burn them." Watching the relieved Vivian, Professor Adonia smiled and said, "By the way... what interesting things were you two discussing?"

Vivian quickly shook her head.

"No, nothing..."

"Is that so?" Professor Adonia said with a slight smile, looking at the other child sitting beside her, "The atmosphere seemed pleasant, I didn't want to disturb you, appears I was overthinking."

Following Vivian's gaze, Luo Yan saw a barefooted woman standing in the middle of the nearby woods.

Her features were delicate and gentle, like the moon at night, radiating an elusive mysterious beauty.

Most impressive were her eyes; those green-blue pupils were like the leaves in the forest, occasionally radiating youthful vitality and cunning, at other times showing a composed and elegant demeanor, indifferent to time and world affairs.

Moreover, unlike the Slimes in the first level of the Great Graveyard, her ability to mimic was even beyond that of the Golden Slime!

So much so that at first glance, Luo Yan even mistook her for a human or Demon living in Hell.

But upon closer inspection, the difference was still clear.

Her crystal-clear skin was like jelly, shining like crystal, obviously not something ordinary humans or Demons possessed.

Not just the skin, even the hair that fell in front of her forehead and the clothes she wore rippled like water waves.

Making eye contact with Professor Adonia, Luo Yan took the initiative to stand up from the bench and bowed slightly, politely saying.

"Hello, Professor Adonia, my name is Luo Yan, a student from the neighboring Demon King Academy, just graduated this year."

Professor Adonia smiled and nodded slightly, seemingly already guessing his identity, and spoke elegantly and appropriately.

"Hello, Luo Yan Mister, Miss Colin's grandfather, Caesar Colin, has mentioned you, saying that you're a promising young man, possessing his style from back in the days. Since then, I've been curious about what kind of young man you are, and I'm surprised we met so soon."

Surprised, Vivian glanced at Professor Adonia and then covertly at her brother, not knowing that their grandfather already knew him.

However, he seemed not to have any intention of revealing that he was the illegitimate child of the Colin family.

Thinking that because of her, he couldn't recognize his relative right before his eyes, a mix of guilt and sorrow inevitably surged in Vivian's heart.

If only Luo Yan knew what she was thinking, he would certainly knock on her forehead to warn her not to think too much.
