Chapter 560

"Vivian."

The morning breeze passed through the camp, taking away the smell of herbs and blood permeating the tents.

Hearing the Demon King's voice, Vivian, who was patrolling the territory, turned back instantly, her ruby-like eyes full of surprise.

"Brother!? What wind blew you here?"

She lifted the skirt of her nun's habit and ran over with small steps, her face full of a bright smile that was a bit dazzling, just like a squirrel that found a pine nut.

"Did you sleep well last night? Did you sleep alone? It must be, right? I hope those blind little rats didn't affect your rest, if they did, Vivian would have turned them into bean paste!"

Looking at Vivian who said a lot, Luo Yan's mouth raised slightly, and he smiled and touched the little head that couldn't be idle.

"You've done well recently."

Whether it was the Knights or last night's events, Vivian was unexpectedly useful.

He wanted to say this last night, but the time didn't coincide, and he was busy dealing with the aftermath and a series of other work, so it was delayed.

"Eh heh..."

Vivian's cheeks were slightly hot, her index finger scratched the purple hair exposed at the edge of her headscarf embarrassedly, but the eyes that bent into new moons clearly wrote "Praise me more".

"Thanks to your guidance, Vivian is just riding on Brother's neck!"

This guy is not generally easy to understand, it's just that what she said is a bit strange.

Luo Yan praised her two more sentences to satisfy her vanity, and then cast his gaze on Erin who was helping not far away.

"Also, can I ask you one more thing?"

"Brother, just order! Vivian is willing to be hung on a bookshelf and scratched without moving—"

"I don't remember doing that kind of thing."

Luo Yan coughed, interrupted her divergent thinking, and continued to speak quickly.

"The thing I'm asking you to do is mainly related to Erin, I hope you can get along with her, can you do it?"

The air froze for a moment.

The "squirrel that found a pine nut" turned into a fully armed hedgehog in almost half a second.

"Why!"

Vivian's eyes widened instantly, the gentle and sweet smile disappeared, and the ruby-like pupils turned into scarlet shooting murderous intent—

Although only for a moment, that naked murderous intent was suppressed by the Demon King's slightly raised eyebrows, turning into trembling timidity and grievance that was about to burst the embankment.

"What's so good about that guy, obviously Vivian can also..."

"Can what?"

"No, nothing... in short, I need a reason!"

Looking at Vivian who was acting awkward, Luo Yan thought for a while.

Reason?

To be honest, he hadn't thought about it.

It seems that this little ancestor Vivian wouldn't care about ancestral glory, transcendent power, etc., so using rhetoric like "you are a mutually successful relationship", "the Colin family has never corrupted such a strong chosen one", "to make you more awesome" obviously wouldn't work.

Coercion and inducement only work on leeks.

However, the Demon King is a master of mystification.

He feigned thought and looked towards the direction of the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain, his eyes distant, as if drifting to a place far beyond the Brass Pass.

"I am playing a big game of chess, every step is very critical. And Erin... is my chess piece."

"Chess piece?"

"That's right," looking at the bewildered Vivian, Luo Yan nodded. "I can't tell you yet, but when the time is ripe, I will tell you."

Vivian was stunned.

Looking at the Demon King's handsome side face full of wisdom, the scarlet flashing in his pupils gradually turned into the blush on his cheeks.

So that's it...

That woman is just a chess piece, not a close comrade-in-arms, let alone a friend who has already established a bond!

As for that kiss that night, it was just a means of dealing with her!

"Kukuku..."

A string of uncontrollable strange laughter rolled out of Vivian's throat, and her slender, white jade fingers gently covered her lips.

"As expected of Brother, Vivian was worried that you would be corrupted by a mere human woman, now it seems Vivian thought too much."

Huh?

Did I show that I was very on top?

Luo Yan thought seriously for two seconds, but soon threw this irrelevant trivial matter behind his head and focused on the present.

"Then, can I ask you?"

"No problem, leave it to Vivian with peace of mind!"

The smile under the holy headscarf became more and more sinister.

The little person named "jealousy" in Vivian's heart was kicked away, replaced by the ecstasy named "accomplice".

Great!

Playing that self-righteous "dependent" in the palm of her hand, squeezing her value dry, and finally kicking her away like garbage—

This is the real devil!

As expected of Vivian's brother!

Presumably by then, Erin should be crying for her mother.

However, Vivian's triumph was as short and powerless as ever, and the smile hanging on her face had just begun to be presumptuous when it suddenly froze.

A drop of cold sweat slid down her fair forehead, dripping onto the black nun's habit, and her crimson pupils shook like an earthquake.

Wait—

Get along with Erin...

Not-so-distant memories flashed back in Vivian's mind, that was a restless early summer night.

Restless was not just the cicada chirps in the woods, but also two overlapping bodies, and a nightgown as thin as a cicada's wing that couldn't cover anything at all.

Vivian's face gradually turned pale.

She glanced in horror at her brother who was nodding with satisfaction, and then glanced at the "chess piece" who was enthusiastically helping in the camp not far away, her lips trembling.

Bayeli above, what kind of blasphemy is this!

Brother, for the sake of his hegemony, actually wanted to let... let Vivian sacrifice herself?!

That kind of thing...

Looking at Vivian who suddenly became tragic, Luo Yan frowned slightly in confusion.

"Are you okay? If it really doesn't work, forget it..."

His original intention was to eliminate the estrangement between the two, or misunderstandings, and he didn't want to make Vivian feel wronged.

"Squeak, squeaked!"

"......?"

"I will work hard!"

Luo Yan looked strangely at Vivian who almost bit her tongue because of too much effort, and finally said nothing, encouragingly touching her head.

"Well, come on... but don't force yourself, this is not a mission, just... a suggestion."

Just in case, he added a sentence at the end.

Although Vivian's reaction was a bit wrong, thinking that this guy's head had never been right, he chose to believe it for the time being.

Watching the "Nun" leave staggeringly, a milky white ghost floated silently beside Luo Yan.

Tilting her semi-transparent head, Hearing You You asked in a low voice.

"Demon King, speaking of which, Hearing You You has always wanted to ask you... what exactly is the big game of chess you are talking about? Why haven't I seen it after following you for so long."

There is no need to be polite with her own godhead, Luo Yan said casually.

'Good question, I'll tell you when I've thought about it.'

Hearing You You: "???"

Blood Court, shrill roars echoed in the bloody hall, shaking the skull chandelier on the ceiling until it was crumbling.

"Dead? All dead? Damn! How could this happen!"

"Soul Breaker" Moke had never been so panicked, he never expected that the Graveyard Keeper's so-called "getting serious" was to hit the wall with his forehead.

Very good.

Now it's not just Merlin's brain that is broken into a place, even his little brother Shi Laike doesn't know which corner he died in.

Originally heard that Shi Laike was caught back by Merlin, he still held a trace of luck in his heart, maybe the rats on Bone Burial Peak could continue to hold on.

Now, only panic remained in his heart.

"Edgar! What about your plan? What about your guarantee? Is this what you call 'can look forward to'??"

Professor Edgar Kaufman stood by the fire basin, the flickering firelight reflecting his uncertain face, just like looking at a corpse.

He ignored the hysterical roar of the fat rat, and there was not a trace of change on his face, but the fingertips trembling slightly in his cuffs exposed the panic in his heart.
