Chapter 516: The Future

Under Vivian's painful screening and Luo Yan's spot checks, a few pieces of gold were indeed unearthed from the mountain of envelopes that had been piled up like a heap of dung.

Three days later, in the afternoon, in the side hall on the first floor of the Kelin Manor.

The afternoon sun spilled in through the glass windows, illuminating the eyelashes of a certain little brat until they turned snow-white.

Vivian was sprawled on the corner of a long table, waving a quill pen with a look of existential despair, making records in a thick notebook.

Beside her hand was a mountain of unprocessed letters, and her resentful gaze drifted from time to time toward her brother, who was sitting in the main seat, leisurely flipping through a book.

These letters were impossible to finish reading, because a massive volume of mail was delivered every single day.

Is this the Demon King's method?

Well, he's got a few tricks up his sleeve...

The only consolation was that the neck with its prominent Adam's apple looked truly alluring, making the future Vampire Princess swallow her saliva repeatedly.

Vivian did not know that the Demon King's methods were not as simple as "neglect-play"; they also included a series of assembly-line fear-energy harvesting procedures such as "haunted house scares," "slime hell," and so on... The adventurers of Lei Ming City could be said to have learned this lesson well.

The drained adventurers would not be wasted either; the Demon King would let them go, allowing them to walk among the other adventurers and spread the fame of the Lei Ming County Labyrinth.

On one hand, they would be terrified of the demons of Lei Ming County, and on the other, they would worship the Campbell family that kept the Demon King in check.

And in reality, both sides were the Demon King's people.

It was merely a distinction between the left and right hand.

At this moment, a middle-aged gentleman named Luo Ke'er was walking into the side hall under the guidance of the butler.

Hearing the footsteps coming from the entrance of the side hall, Luo Yan, who was sitting in the main seat, finally closed the book he could never finish reading and cast a scrutinizing gaze at this gentleman.

Luo Ke'er's image was completely out of place in this luxurious manor, yet it was just like the letter he had written by hand—the writing reflected the person.

He wore a gray coat that had been washed until it was white, with two patches of a slightly darker color on the elbows, and the cuffs were also severely worn; however, his pair of old leather shoes were polished until they shone.

Although poor, his spine was held straight. And those eyes, shining with light, reminded Luo Yan of a certain young man he had met on the road to the Academy.

The two were different kinds of idealists: one was the uninhibited "rock-and-roll youth" style, with extreme aggressiveness, while the other was the "poor scholar" style, harboring ambitions, with stubbornness hidden behind restrained etiquette.

Upon seeing the Prince of the Empire, Luo Ke'er did not act as agitated to the point of incoherence or as excessively humble as the other "petitioners," but instead performed a gentleman's salute appropriately.

"Good day, respected Prince Kelin. I am Luo Ke'er, the one who wrote to you. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to expound upon my dream."

"Please sit, Mr. Luo Ke'er. Also, there is no need to be reserved; I hope you can treat this as an ordinary tea party, not an interview." Luo Yan smiled and nodded, signaling for him to sit, without showing any slight due to his shabbiness.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

? ￠O

Luo Ke'er looked at him gratefully and took a seat on the sofa. Before the waiter at the side could pour him tea, he began to introduce himself concisely.

He was born into a clockmaker's family in Quemubao and could have inherited his father's craft to live a stable life, but he was unwilling to live a routine life in the lord's castle. Thus, he registered as an adventurer at the Adventurers' Guild and then spent twenty years traveling through the various countries along the coast of the Vortex Sea, just to collect the knowledge scattered across the lands.

To prove that he was not lying, Luo Ke'er solemnly took out a thick stack of manuscripts from the severely worn briefcase he carried with him and placed them gently on the tabletop.

The edges of the yellowed paper were curled, exuding the scent of ink and sea tides.

"Your Highness, this is what I want to offer to you—the manuscript of the *Encyclopedia*."

Luo Ke'er's voice carried an irrepressible fervor as he looked at Prince Kelin, who wore a look of surprise, and continued.

"You are a Prince of the Empire; you should know that our Empire has built a glorious civilization and possesses mountains of wealth! However, no one has ever compiled a catalog for the true treasures in our treasury—that knowledge and wisdom."

"Craftsmen understand the meshing of gears, farmers understand the changing of solar terms, and scholars know astronomy above and geography below. However, they are like isolated islands, not understanding each other's worlds. I want to compile a set of books to connect these scattered fragments."

He glanced at Miss Kelin, who was biting her quill pen in boredom, then looked at Mr. Kelin, his eyes flashing with excitement.

"I boldly advise you, this encyclopedia will also be of great benefit to the Lei Ming City University you are currently preparing to build!"

"Our newspapers can only tell us what happened yesterday, but they won't tell our children what major they are suited for or where they should go in the future. However, if there were this encyclopedia, they could find their own interests within it and, stepping on the shoulders of their predecessors, continue those unfinished undertakings!"

"Whether he wants to become an adventurer or a clockmaker!"

After saying all this in one breath, Luo Ke'er paused to observe the Prince's expression. Seeing Luo Yan remain silent, his heart could not help but drum, thinking the other party had little interest.

Thus, he added with slight urgency.

"Your Highness, I know this sounds very dull. Compiling this book requires a massive amount of manpower and material resources, requires visiting craftsmen and scholars everywhere, and requires a massive amount of paper and printing costs. It does not have the power to summon wind and rain like magic, nor can it create endless wealth like a steam engine; at least in the short term, one might not see any profit."

"But I believe you are a truly understanding person! You must know how important my work is to our Empire!"

Vivian could not help but curl the corners of her mouth upon hearing this.

Our Empire...

Kuku-ku, how hilarious!

Watching a subject of the Empire trying to sell his treasure to a member of the Hell Parliament, she suddenly felt that this trip to the human world was not without its gains.

At least she had seen plenty of entertainment.

Luo Ke'er's voice lowered; he was already prepared to be rejected.

After all, before going to Campbell, he had been to the Shengcheng of the Empire and had even sought out the Xierfen family, who respected art the most.

However, everyone thought he was a swindler and rejected him without exception. They might not lack that bit of money, but they would absolutely not let people think their family was a fool from whom anyone could extract gold coins.

Hearing that Prince Kelin had a special fondness for this land of Campbell, he thought of the Campbell bloodline he carried, and thus came here with the mindset of giving it a try.

Luo Yan finished listening and gently set down his teacup; the porcelain saucer collided with it, emitting a crisp sound.

Others might not know what use his work had, but he understood all too well what this *Encyclopedia* signified.

This thing was one of the sparks of the Enlightenment.

The Campbell Principality did not lack smart people, but smart people were not equal to honest people; they only spoke smart words, but they did not necessarily speak the truth.

They would cut knowledge into fragments, compile them into catchy doggerel, and feed it to those fools who thought themselves smart but had actually not read many books, giving them the illusion that they had learned something.

They would use the arrogance, ignorance, and lack of discernment of fools to achieve their own sordid goals, weaving sweet traps with that correct yet useless nonsense.

The owner of a beer hall certainly could not decide the future of the Campbell Principality, but he also had no opportunity to make a mess of the Principality. Don't look at how loud his voice seemed; it was good enough that he could keep his position among a group of smart people; where would he have the opportunity to do evil?

However, if a group of serfs were to happily carry a slave owner into the parliament, and then happily watch the slave owner whip other serfs away like spinning tops...

Then the good days for the Campbell people would truly have arrived.

The owner of the beer hall was just not smart and had no ideas, but these slave owners had plenty of ways to deal with natural-born slaves.

An encyclopedia certainly could not clear away these "learned illiterates," but the enlightenment of the people started by the Enlightenment could restrict these smart people who had not a shred of awe or bottom line.

They did not believe in retribution in the afterlife or the present world, but they would be pinned to the blackboard by thumbtacks named "common sense," and at the very least, they would not be able to weave those deceptive words outside the blackboard.

This was the significance of literacy.

And this was also the most fundamental divergence between "feudalism" and "republicanism," and even more so the most fundamental contradiction between the Lai En Kingdom and the Campbell Principality.

Edward, who had won the civil war, could co-govern his Principality with the owner of the beer hall, and if one wanted to maintain this "common harmony," one could only enlighten the people to counter the feudalism within the Principality.

And Xiaodeng's rule was built on the foundation of "feudalizing the various domains"; to maintain feudalism, one could only let the various classes fight each other. He had to make the clergy indifferent, the nobles greedy, and the citizens ignorant, so as to prevent the unity of nobles with nobles, and citizens with citizens.

Both monarchs were understanding people, and they were also clear that there would inevitably be a battle between them, whose paths were different.

As for whether sovereignty lay with the monarch or the people, that was not a question to be discussed in the year 1053 of the Aus Calendar.

Whether it was the Campbell Principality or the Lai En Kingdom, they actually did not have their own sovereignty; talking about this stuff was no different from performance art.

Even in Lei Ming City, where industrialization was in full swing, the concepts of nation and sovereignty had only just evolved from "the weaver's cursing of the King" to the unanimous hatred of the various class representatives toward the arrogance and rudeness of the Lai En Kingdom.

They had only just realized that the enemy was not in the distant Hell, but by their side.

"... Mr. Luo Ke'er, you have underestimated the value of this project."

The generous Prince Kelin not only did not refuse, but instead stood up from the sofa and revealed a solemn demeanor toward this poor gentleman.

"Lei Ming City University is in need of such an encyclopedia; in order to conveniently complete this project, I am willing to build a large library for you, and you can spend all your energy there."

After a pause, he continued.

"Of course, this is not work that one person can complete; go and gather your friends. Whether they are scholars with unrecognized talent, poets, or even farmers in the fields, craftsmen in the castles... as long as they have true talent and learning and are willing to struggle for your ideal, the Kelin family will pay for their sweat!"

Luo Ke'er was stunned, almost unable to believe his ears.

"Your, Your Highness... are you serious?"

Luo Yan smiled and nodded.

"I am unprecedentedly serious, Mr. Luo Ke'er. In my view, what you are doing is far greater than inventing a forbidden spell; our extraordinary power is built upon condensed human hearts and common sense, and the blueprint you have presented to me has allowed me to see the power that condenses all of this."

A huge surprise impacted Luo Ke'er's brain, making him so agitated that he was somewhat incoherent. He stood up abruptly and bowed deeply to this generous and wise Prince.

"Your Highness... your generosity will illuminate this era! After this masterpiece is completed, I will write your name in the most conspicuous position on the title page, letting future generations forever remember your kindness! Being able to work with you is my supreme glory!"

"That won't be necessary, Mr. Luo Ke'er."

Luo Yan picked up his teacup again and took a sip, looking at this down-and-out yet ideal-filled gentleman, and said with a light and breezy smile.

"Just put my name together with yours; my name will be glorious because of your undertaking."

The gold-edged title page would be treated as a burden and reduced, but co-authors would be passed down forever.

A mere few hundred gold coins could leave a "was here" on a masterpiece that would go down in history; there was no deal more worthwhile than this.

The hurried footsteps came, and then hurried away.

The only difference was that the footsteps of Mr. Luo Ke'er when he left were clearly much less reserved and anxious, replaced by joy and encouragement and expectations for a new chapter in life.

From today on, he was a man of the Prince of the Empire.

Until the moment he walked out of the manor gate, this middle-aged man holding a thick stack of manuscripts still wore an expression as if he had just woken from a dream.

"Mr. Luo Ke'er, it's time to get in the carriage."

Looking at Luo Ke'er standing at the entrance without moving, the servant wearing a valet's uniform reminded him softly.

"Ah, sorry, I was just thinking... about the task Prince Kelin gave me."

Luo Ke'er came back to his senses, only then noticing that the carriage stopped in front of him had already opened its door; after explaining with a red face, he hurriedly sat in.

The carriage soon set off, heading toward the distant suburbs several miles away.

That was where Luo Ke'er was currently staying; he was borrowing a room at the home of a distant relative. His luggage and the remaining manuscripts were stored there, and that was also all the property he had.

Prince Kelin not only funded his undertaking but also funded his embarrassed life as well.

After taking his luggage, they would head to the quiet eastern suburbs of Lei Ming City and look for a spacious detached house there to serve as an office location.

According to Prince Kelin's wishes, that place would be his residence in Lei Ming City, and also the headquarters of the future *Encyclopedia* Compilation Committee.

And not far from there was the main campus of Lei Ming City University, which was under construction, and the Lei Ming City University Library, which was under renovation.

At the same time, inside the Kelin Manor.

With the departure of the visitor, the side hall returned to the quietness of the afternoon.

Vivian, who had played the lady for a long time, finally threw away the quill pen in her hand and her elegant sitting posture, liberating her mischievous nature.

"Kuku-ku... as expected of Brother, truly too insidious and cunning!"

Luo Yan picked up his teacup and took a sip, then picked up the magic tome he hadn't finished reading.

"You tell me, how am I insidious again."

"That human bookworm!"

The lower legs wearing long white socks swayed under the skirt that bloomed like violets, and a cunning light that she thought saw through everything flashed in Vivian's scarlet eyes.

"I finally figured it out; you funding that bookworm is not at all to popularize any knowledge, but to use the *Encyclopedia* to destroy the right of discourse of the *Holy Word Book* in the mortal world!"

The corners of Luo Yan's mouth curled into an arc of surprise.

"Oh? You can even see this far?"

"Of course!"

The corners of Vivian's mouth raised into a wicked smile, as if she had exposed a shocking conspiracy, and she continued with certainty.

"When all the laws of everything in the world can be explained from places other than the gods, the lies woven by the *Holy Word Book* will no longer exist! Those priests always hold the power to explain the world in their own hands, defining the black and white of the world, telling people what is correct and what is wrong; once people can find answers from books, who will still listen to the nonsense of that group of charlatans?"

"This is digging at the corner of Sheng Xisi's wall, this is destroying the *Holy Word Book*'s monopoly on truth! Once this set of books is printed and distributed across the continent, the foundation of the Holy See will inevitably cease to exist!"

Vivian became more excited as she spoke, as if she had already seen the scene of the Saint Kelaimen Cathedral collapsing with a crash.

In her view, rivers of blood were certainly exciting, but being able to wipe out the enemy from the root without shedding blood was also not a lack of brilliant methods.

This was far more stimulating than throwing forbidden magic spells!

As expected of the brother she admired the most!

Luo Yan wore a calm smile on his face; although he was noncommittal about this method, he did not deny her naivety.

Even if that kind of thing could happen under extreme circumstances, it was also a future that would take hundreds of years to realize.

"You only said half of it, Vivian."

Half was actually too much; probably about ten percent.

The ghost hovering over the *Holy Word Book* was the *New Testament*, and the *Encyclopedia* was more of a ghost hovering over "feudalism."

Even if the world entered the next epoch, Sheng Xisi would not be completely wiped out, just like the various elemental gods of the First Epoch.

It would at most return to its original position, and together with the other elemental gods sitting on the cold bench, become a specimen of the old era, and the cultural heritage left by the old era to the next era.

However, for Vivian, understanding to this level was enough; she did not need to start a business from scratch, she only needed to guard the ancestral foundation.

Luo Yan turned a page of the book in his hand and continued in a slow and methodical tone.

"The *Encyclopedia* is indeed the second fire I lit, but the purpose of this fire is not for destruction, but for construction."

Vivian was stunned and stopped her constantly swaying lower legs.

"... Construction?"

"That's right."

Luo Yan nodded, his tone gentle as he said.

"Destroying the old order is not difficult; even if it's a group of brainless green forest armies, if you give them a few muskets, they can smash the statues of gods to pieces, but soon they will be slapped into fragments by the giants who have come to their senses. Whether it is the Empire or the Kingdom, they didn't even use their full strength to deal with them."

Looking at Vivian, who seemed to understand yet not quite, his tone became patient and enticing, just like a true brother.

"If you want to establish a truly unbreakable rule, you cannot just think about destruction, but must bring out a set of new rules that everyone can accept to replace the old rules. And if you want to maintain the old rules, it is the same; you must be careful to guard against those people with ideas uniting."

"Based on the same principle, the *Encyclopedia* is not to blow up Sheng Xisi's church, but to let a group of people with knowledge gather together to nurture new thoughts. And more importantly, this massive project will gather the smartest scholars of this era with the most vigorous thirst for knowledge under my banner... this in itself is letting those people with ideas unite."

Luo Yan's mouth curled into an arc.

Compared to the fire burning on the Saint Kelaimen Cathedral, this was not a future that would take hundreds of years to realize, but a future that could be seen in a short time.

"They will form a new class because of a common philosophy, taking 'reason' as their banner to declare war on feudalism."

"They will become—the 'Encyclopedists'."

Vivian was stunned.

She originally thought she had seen very far, but she didn't expect the scenery in her brother's eyes to be so grand, actually being able to say so many words she didn't even understand!

However, although she didn't understand, she could still roughly understand a little—

Lord Demon King was not just to eliminate the Holy See, but also to sow a new world of his own on the corpses of the enemy!

"So that's how it is..." Vivian muttered to herself, the cunning in her eyes gradually receding, settling into a light of sudden realization.

A brilliant chess player must never only look at the killing moves within three steps!

Even more so, they must calculate how to guide their opponent on the chessboard after victory, entering their own chess path!

No wonder, her sneak attacks on her brother always failed...

Vivian felt a sense of awe.

"Brother, I have attained enlightenment!"

Looking at his sister, who had clearly realized something, Luo Yan felt a sense of relief. Although this girl was a bit jumpy usually, her comprehension was still not bad; she was a talent that could be molded.

In a great mood, he cast his gaze toward the window, only to see that in the manor's garden, tender green grass buds had already covered the ground, brightly colored flowers were blooming wantonly in the warm sunshine, and occasionally a few busy butterflies could be seen dancing around the hedges.

Spring had come.

The weather was getting warmer and warmer.

Appreciating this beautiful scenery, Luo Yan's brows relaxed involuntarily, but not long after, they froze for a moment.

Wait—

The winter in the human world had long since ended, and looking at it, it would be summer in a while. This winter vacation in Hell... was it not a bit too long?

"Speaking of which, Vivian, the winter on the north bank of the Vortex Sea has long since ended; I forgot to ask you before, you aren't planning to stay here until summer vacation, are you?"

"Ji—"

The expression on Vivian's face froze instantly, and she couldn't help but let out a soft hum.

Those red pupils, which had been flashing with wisdom a second ago, were now darting around like rabbits in the grass, just not daring to meet Luo Yan's gaze.

She picked up her teacup, and even though the black tea inside had long since gone cold, she still took a sip in a pretentious manner, emitting an extremely artificial exclamation.

"Ah... today's black tea is really not bad! Is, is it the new tea from Beifeng City? I feel the roasting heat of this batch of tea leaves is mastered particularly well; it has a kind of... uh, the taste of spring."

Luo Yan narrowed his eyes.

Vivian's shoulders couldn't help but tremble, and the tea in the cup almost spilled out.

"Do not attempt to use such a clumsy topic to divert my attention," Luo Yan stared at her and asked, hitting the nail on the head, "Did you skip school?"

"Pfft—"

Vivian almost sprayed the tea in her mouth out.

"Skip, skip school? Bro, Brother, how can you say it so harshly... I, I, I didn't skip school, it's a leave of absence!"

Luo Yan: "..."

Seeing that this sentence couldn't fool her brother, she hurriedly put down the cup and sat up straight on the soft velvet sofa.

"I, I am telling the truth!"

"Like a genius like me who is rarely seen in a hundred years, the school's curriculum has long since been unable to satisfy me. The professors all said that rather than molding in the classroom, it is better to go and gain experience in the vast world. This is called 'social practice'! That's right, as long as I am in a good mood one day and go back to submit an internship report, I can get my graduation certificate at any time."

"An, and it's not just me like this; those demons with territories who read books halfway through and go back to handle affairs in their territories, and then return to the Demon Capital to study after three or five years is also a common thing... Miss Padric must understand what I mean!"

This was not something Vivian made up.

Because not only was Hell like this, the Aus Empire was the same.

There were quite a few such nobles in the universities of the Shengcheng; often they would be studying halfway through when their territory went to war, and then they would take a group of fox friends and dog companions back to fight the fire, and after fighting, they would come back with medals.

There were also those who didn't come back.

For example, those who were sent out by their old man for marriage halfway through the fighting.

Hell was of course the same; where would true nobles need any graduation certificate? They could issue one on the spot.

Luo Yan did not speak.

He just quietly looked at Vivian.

Respected Councilor Luo Yan certainly wouldn't be childish enough to think Vivian needed that thing; he just thought of his own childhood, and then the more he thought, the angrier he got.

Why should these little brats not have to endure the rain that Councilor-my lord endured?

Damn it!

Not just winter vacation homework, the credit system must be arranged!

Under that suffocating silent gaze, the sound of Vivian making up reasons became smaller and smaller, finally completely turning into a mosquito-like hum.

Three seconds later, Miss Kelin's psychological defense line declared a total collapse, flowing away in a torrent.

"Heave-ho..."

Vivian very consciously slid down from the sofa, carefully chose the softest seat on that thick red wool carpet, and then bent her knees, kneeling down extremely skillfully.

That movement was smooth and flowing.

Clearly, it was not the first time she had done this.

"I was wrong! Mo, Mo-my lord!"

Vivian tugged at her own ears with both hands, drooping her head, her low-browed and pleasing appearance seeming to be seriously reflecting.

Her eyelashes fluttered, and she said tremblingly.

"Ji, actually... school started a month ago; even if you send me back, I definitely won't be able to keep up."

Before Luo Yan could open his mouth to reprimand, she hurriedly raised her head again, moving out her savior with righteous indignation.

"But this can't all be blamed on me! The classes taught by those old men in the academy are simply boring to the extreme, and no matter what questions I answer, they can round it back for me! At first I didn't react, how come everything I sneeze is correct? Thanks to Haineiweite reminding me, I reacted! They were playing with me!"

"These professors are truly bad to the core, so I wrote a letter to Grandpa Caesar, telling him that I am learning more advanced 'Demon King Dao' here with you, such as how to use economic means to control a human kingdom, or how to use a broken book to dig out Sheng Xisi's blood vessels!"

Speaking of this, Vivian's eyes lit up again, her face full of pride.

"My grandpa was overjoyed after reading the letter! He not only strongly supported me not returning to school, but also personally went to the academy and scolded those professors who were fooling me!"

Luo Yan held his forehead, feeling a headache.

Caesar Kelin was also a madman who feared the world wouldn't be in chaos, but he happened to be a demigod whose strength was perverted, and he wasn't just ordinarily doting on his granddaughter.

This old and young pair together was simply a disaster for Hell's education sector.

"... So this is the reason you are clinging to me and not leaving?"

Luo Yan sighed, then thought of another little tail that was always hiding behind her, "Then what about Nan Fu? Why didn't he go back either?"

Mentioning this "accomplice," Vivian immediately chose to betray her younger brother without hesitation, in order to reduce her own guilt.

"Nan Fu is the same! And he is even more excessive than me!"

Vivian pointed outside the door and complained loudly: "At least I am still learning your Kingly Dao; that guy simply doesn't want to return to the Demon Capital! Two days ago, he even secretly asked me how to fill out a form, saying he wanted to study abroad at your Lei Ming City University! How can this be? Unless Vivian also stays to watch him, otherwise he will definitely be eaten by human priests!"

"Study abroad?" Luo Yan was stunned for a moment, "He is a vampire, what does he want to learn?"

Learn the Holy Word Book?

Vivian also didn't leave any privacy for Nan Fu, saying it all in one breath.

"He said he wants to apply for the History Department! And also wants to study the history of the war between humans and demons, saying something about wanting to find the possibility of peaceful coexistence between the two races from the dust of history... Kuku-ku, his brain really must have had magma enter it! If demons don't fight humans, do they fight the goblins at home?"

Luo Yan was completely speechless.

What legendary Lover King?

However, this guy was like his old man, whereas Vivian was not that similar. And Nan Fu didn't tell himself about this at all; eight out of ten, he decided to be brave for once.

Actually, it was also good.

What that little guy lacked was actually not a bright lamp to illuminate the path of life, but the courage to take the first step and the responsibility to bear the results of his choices.

Luo Yan was actually very relieved; at least Nan Fu truly wanted to become a man who stood tall.

Unlike his good brother who was far away.

The look in Yige's eyes when he looked at him always made his back feel cold.

Vivian, kneeling on the carpet, secretly observed Luo Yan's expression, trying to read the Demon King's thoughts from those micro-expressions.

Looking at that slightly raised, seemingly relieved corner of his mouth, she finally breathed a sigh of relief; at least she didn't have to increase her homework.

Lord Bayeli above...

Vivian had lived for so long, and it was the first time she had written so many words herself; she had never endured such humiliation.

Thinking of this, Vivian's eyes couldn't help but moisten with grievance again.

"... The demons of Hell are truly becoming more and more degenerate."

"Ye, yes!"

"I am talking about you!"

"Ji—I was wrong!"

Looking at Vivian, who was holding her little head and shivering, Luo Yan didn't have the heart to blame her, and blaming didn't seem to be of much use anyway.

He was only worried about one thing now.

If Mia discovered that Vivian had run here, Lord Demon King's plan would probably become unprecedentedly troublesome...
