"Oh ho, it seems you have some tricks up your sleeve. No wonder you're my classmate... Hehehe."

Watching Luo Yan handle things with ease, the corners of Mia's mouth couldn't help but lift slightly, genuinely feeling happy for him.

Ever since he became the Demon King, what worried her most was that he would be cut down by the Campbell family's Chosen One with a single sword.

The past Demon Kings of Thunder County all met this fate, and this guy just happened to be the weakest among them.

However, it seems now that her worries were unnecessary.

Not only had he not been crushed by the forces inside and outside the Maze, but he also managed to steadfastly develop in the cracks and grew stronger...

Mia felt her heart race.

Although the Bronze Demon King was quite interesting, a powerful Demon King also had another unique charm.

"You're too kind."

Luo Yan smiled slightly and continued modestly, "I was merely following your advice to avoid direct conflict with them."

"Hehe... As expected of my suggestion." Mia couldn't remember whether she'd actually said those words, but hearing Luo Yan praise her made her very happy, and the corners of her raised mouth almost reached the sky.

However, her pride didn't last long as she soon remembered something else and, after a cough, said.

"By the way, I heard that the old Duke didn't pass the Legendary Sword to the Duchy's official heir but instead gave it to his daughter? Is it Erin Campbell, right? I heard... she seems to be quite beautiful? True or false? Don't misunderstand, I'm just curious."

She didn't usually care about such things, but her mother often mentioned it intentionally, making her feel itchy and prompting her to ask.

Of course, that doesn't mean she cares.

Mia emphasized this in her heart.

Luo Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at his classmate Mia who was occasionally glancing at him, and curiously asked.

"You even know her name?"

Unexpectedly, Thunder City actually had "Demon God followers" developed by the Padric family.

On the Aus Continent, there have always been a few secret followers of Demon Gods, and the Campbell Duchy is no exception.

However, from what he understood, those who sold their souls to Demons were mainly knights or soldiers and generally worshiped the muscle-brained Horror Demon.

Who was the shameless person daring to pray for power from the Enchanting Demon?

He was quite curious.

"Hehehe, do you think those actions of yours could be hidden? I've already known everything..."

Mia feigned indifference as she spoke, but her eyes couldn't help but glance at Luo Yan's face, fearing she'd miss any detail, not noticing how the smile on her face stiffened.

This guy's ability to lie isn't high, unsurprising for one of the worst students in class.

Not to mention the micro-expressions betraying her thoughts; truly knowledgeable people wouldn't keep the word "know" on their lips.

While it wasn't an unspeakable secret, seeing her care so much, Luo Yan couldn't help but tease her.

Looking at her eyes darting around, he spoke meaningfully.

"Erin really is a unique woman, smart, brave, charming, kind-hearted, and most importantly..."

"What?!" Mia got anxious.

Luo Yan paused, pretending to think.

"I feel she trusts me quite a bit."

"!!!"

Mia's tail instantly went taut, like a drawn bowstring, her eye corner twitching slightly.

"Heh, hehehe... It seems you're living quite comfortably on the surface!"

That fierce voice seemed squeezed out through clenched teeth, and yet tears came out first.

Seeing how she couldn't seem to handle it, Luo Yan finally didn't have the heart to make her cry and smiled as he said.

"Alright, I'm just joking, but she indeed cares about me... Of course, you know, that's part of the plan too."

He thought that would be the end of it, but unexpectedly, the mortified Mia took two steps forward, demanding aggressively.

"What exactly did you two do?! How far did you go?! Be honest and clear with me... I, I am your superior, that's right! I have the right to know!"

"Really, nothing happened." As a sweet scent wafted past, looking at the suddenly agitated Mia, Luo Yan stepped back helplessly.

Mia stared into his eyes.

"Liar!"

Truthfully, Luo Yan wasn't lying; if there was something to say, he would have said it.

However, as he pondered further, he suddenly touched the brooch in his pocket, and his voice lost a bit of its conviction.

"Do you want the truth?"

Seeing Luo Yan's serious gaze, Mia shrank back a bit, lightly biting her lip, her attitude suddenly softened.

She lowered her head, muttering softly.

"...Forget it, I don't want to know. It's your job, so... whatever, it's not like I can't understand."

Her tail drooped slightly, heart-shaped pupils flashed a trace of grievance, as if afraid to hear an unbearable answer, or refusing to pursue out of spite.

Seeing her like this, Luo Yan chuckled lightly and said in a gentle tone.

"Really, there's nothing. And besides, if there were something, would I really need to hide it?"

Mia quietly lifted her head, looking at him suspiciously, scrutinizing the truth in his eyes.

Perhaps upon seeing his sincerity, her drooping tail perked up again, and her pouting face turned away with a huff.

"Who cares about you."

Luo Yan just watched the pouting Mia with a caring look without saying a word.
