Chapter 228 Someone has to be happy, right?
"Brother? Younger brother? When did our relationship become so good? Stop disgusting me, just tell me. What exactly is your purpose?" Mo Xuan asked with a look of disgust.
"Tsk, why are you so boring? I did help you!" Mo Chen's hurt expression made Mo Xuan frown.
"Are you going to tell me or not? If you don't, I'm leaving!"
“If you get married, you can no longer be the Demon King. Then I will have no rivals, and naturally I will help you. Are you satisfied with this answer?” Mo Chen said with a smile.
"Heh, I knew you weren't that kind-hearted, but anyway, thank you for today. Don't worry, I will definitely not compete with you for the position of Demon King!" Mo Xuan said, then turned and left.
Watching Mo Xuan's departing figure, Mo Chen's lips curled up slightly: "Two brothers, one of us has to be happy, right? I don't have your courage to give my beloved a legitimate status, but you can. If I had half your courage, perhaps Meng Yao wouldn't be so wronged!"
Mo Chen's voice was very soft, so soft that if you didn't pay attention, you couldn't hear what he said at all. But Mo Xuan still heard it. He paused slightly, his brows furrowed, and then continued walking.
A strange feeling began to grow in Mo Xuan's heart. He felt that Mo Chen was different.
At the Lu residence, Lu Jinyan had just returned to her courtyard when she saw Ling Yuan sitting alone in the courtyard, lost in thought, looking somewhat forlorn and sorrowful.
"Lingyuan? It's getting chilly at night. Why aren't you inside? What are you doing here? Is something the matter?"
"Sister's back? I'm fine. Sister, you've been busy all day, go back to your room and rest!" Ling Yuan's eyes drooped, and she forced a smile, which made Lu Jinyan a little puzzled.
"I'm not tired. Tell me what's wrong. But who bullied you? Tell me!" Lu Jinyan thought it was something Mo Xuan had said to him today, after all, Ling Yuan's current status was somewhat awkward.
"No, don't worry, sister. Everyone in the manor treats me very well. No one bullies me. It's... it's my own fault!" Lingyuan lowered her head, looking like a lost puppy, which was very pitiful.
"You yourself? What happened to you?" Lu Jinyan stepped forward and sat down next to him.
"Sister, will you send me away?" Lingyuan looked up and asked, looking into Lu Jinyan's eyes.
"Huh? Send you away? Send you where? Why would I send you away for no reason?" Lu Jinyan was completely bewildered. He was her target for a romantic advance. She had only just begun her pursuit and couldn't wait to keep him by her side so she could succeed as soon as possible. How could she possibly send him away?
"With such outstanding men as Young Master Mo Xuan and Young Master Ruo Han by your side, will there still be a place for me in the manor after you marry them? I am of lowly status to begin with. It is already a great favor that you brought me back. If the two gentlemen do not like me in the future and cannot tolerate me, please do not send me back to the demon slave market, okay?"
Lingyuan knew that Moxuan was not easy to get along with. If he entered the manor, his life would probably not be easy. Lu Jinyan would definitely not let a demon slave cause a rift between her and her husband. Of course, he would try his best to make Lu Jinyan like him and make himself have a place in her heart, but what if?
If he failed to win her favor, and if his lord disliked him, he would have no choice but to leave. In this vast demon realm, he had nowhere to go, but he truly didn't want to return to the demon slave market.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I won't send you away. This is your home. Just stay here and relax. I brought you back, and no one but me has the right to kick you out."
What does status matter? To me, they're all the same. Ruohan is gentle and won't have any unpleasantness with you. Although Moxuan may seem difficult to get along with, he's not a bad person at heart. You'll know once you spend more time with him.
"You can stay here peacefully. If one day you meet someone you love, or want to change your way of life, just tell me, and I'll give you your freedom!" But only after I've finished my strategy...
Lu Jinyan silently added a sentence in her mind.
"Is Sister serious?" Ling Yuan's eyes lit up.
"Of course, don't think too much. Just go back and rest. It's freezing cold, and you're so thin. Don't catch a cold. As long as you don't want to leave, no one will kick you out!" Lu Jinyan reached out and patted Lingyuan's head. She couldn't resist; Lingyuan was just too adorable, and she couldn't help but want to give him a little pat.
"I won't leave. I want to stay by my sister's side forever. I won't go anywhere unless my sister doesn't want me anymore!" Lingyuan rubbed against Lu Jinyan's hand obediently.
It looked so adorable that it made Lu Jinyan's heart itch. She really wanted Lingyuan to turn back into his original form so she could pet him. After all, she had never petted a fox before. But reason prevailed.
She rubbed Lingyuan's head and then withdrew her hand.
"Okay, I understand. Go back and get some rest! It's getting late!"
"Ding! Lingyuan's favorability +1, current favorability is 4!"
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully raised Lingyuan's favorability to 4. Rewards: 1000 points, 100 Mandarin Duck Stones, 1000 Demon Crystals, 20 Low-Grade Cultivation Pills, 1 Jade Bracelet, 10 Mermaid Pearls, 1 Neon Feather Robe, 1 Crimson Sky Robe, 1 Cloud Light Holy Armor, 1 Azure Sky Spirit Pearl, 1 Wind-Slaying Sword, 1 Mid-Grade Cloud-Breaking Fan, and 5 Mid-Grade Storage Bags. Please keep up the good work, host!"
Hearing the system notification, Lu Jinyan's lips curled up slightly. Goodness, today's results are pretty good. She's gained two points. She seems a bit easier to win over than Mo Xuan.
"Okay, sister, I'll go back to my room to rest now. Sister, you should rest early too!" Ling Yuan nodded obediently and said, then turned and went back to her room.
Watching Ling Yuan leave, Lu Jinyan yawned and went back to her room. After washing up, she lay down immediately, too tired to move, and soon fell asleep.
Having slept soundly through the night without any dreams, Lu Jinyan felt like she had inexhaustible energy. She was full of vitality and vitality. She checked her physical condition and found that her cultivation level had broken through to twenty.
It's really not easy. She's been in this demon realm for so long and taken so many pills, and she's only reached level twenty. She wants to become a big shot, but she doesn't know how long it will take. The system said that it gets slower and slower as you get to the later stages. Just thinking about this gives her a headache.
However, her charm value increased to five, which initially made her quite happy, as she thought the maximum score was ten. But when the system told her that the maximum score was one hundred, she immediately felt deflated. How long would it take for it to increase like this?
