The Demon King is unfathomable

Chapter 565 Hot Spring Peak must have hot springs

Night falls on Hot Spring Peak.

It was the height of summer, and temperatures at the foot of the mountain were often in the thirties or forties, but the temperature at the summit was just right—cool and pleasant. In the open-air hot spring pool, wisps of steam rose, casting a hazy glow on the starry sky.

In the hazy mist, a young dragon with pale golden scales floated contentedly on the water, its golden vertical pupils narrowed into an "L" shape.

Life in another world—

It's so relaxing.

"...Speaking of which, is it really okay not to help your subordinates?" Taff said lazily, in the tone of an old man commenting on a junior.

"No need, my men can take care of themselves." Luo Yan leaned against the rock by the pool with his eyes slightly closed, his lazy voice revealing a nonchalant ease, as if he had just dismissed a troublesome brat.

"Tsk, what a heartless man."

"It's not that I'm heartless; I'm just giving my subordinates a sense of involvement. Otherwise, how will they know who they're working for?"

In fact, besides this high-sounding reason, there is another reason.

That is, now is the garbage time of this war, and both sides have officially entered the stage where "neither side can do anything to the other".

With the killing of Marius, the major shareholder, and the rescue of more and more people from the Kingdom of Laine, the Academy's experiments in the Wanren Mountains completely lost their sponsorship from the Kingdom of Laine. The Holy Water Project had become an unprofitable and dangerous abandoned project.

Based on Luo Yan's understanding of those ruthless mages, they certainly wouldn't continue wasting resources on projects that didn't show obvious benefits.

Professor Edgar Kaufman's head served two purposes: firstly, to pay for the loss of something belonging to a powerful figure; and secondly, it was a signal from the Academy to the three-race alliance.

They plan to move the laboratory back to the northern wilderness.

Anyway, they have completed all the necessary experiments. They have successfully found a way to purify pure soul matter and completed the theoretical work.

Next comes production.

Purifying soul essence is not technically difficult; the difficulty lies in requiring a large number of soul donors.

While it would be a pity for them not to be able to obtain more soul ore from the Kingdom of Ryan, this so-called pity is far from fatal.

At worst, they could loosen the exams for magic apprentices and recruit more young men and women with dreams from the vast vassal territories of the Os Empire... These magicians could always get what they needed.

Thinking of this, Luo Yan felt a surge of emotion. He hadn't even noticed that Xuebang was doing such blasphemous things when he was setting up his scheme.

Perhaps it's time for the scientific school to withdraw.

Although Luo Yan believed that Xue Bang did not have the courage or the need to take action against the people of the empire, not all of his students were people of the empire; the majority were children from the Kingdom of Rhodes and other vassal states.

Staying in such a place, it's inevitable to be affected.

In short, Xuebang needs time to retreat from the Wanren Mountains.

Meanwhile, the allied forces of the three races also need time to digest their gains, consolidate the areas they have occupied, and extend their long supply line all the way from the territory of Earl Spinor.

As for why Xuebang was given time to withdraw?
That's because you have to pick the softest persimmon and eat your food one bite at a time. The Demon King's next target isn't the Academy, but Roland City.

Luo Yan was a demon king with an extremely clear mind. From the beginning, he realized that the water in the Wanren Mountains was deeper than he had imagined. Therefore, he did not throw everything into the newspapers of Leiming City, but only mentioned the plight of the Ryan people and the collusion between the Ryan Kingdom and the rat people.

Otherwise, if the atmosphere is right but nothing is actually done, wouldn't that damage the morale of our own people?
Moreover, the relationship between the dwarves and the Academy is not bad. If they really attack the Academy, the High Mountain Kingdom probably won't even bother dealing with the current ratmen.

This is not only Luo Yan's thought, but also Edward's idea.

As he closed the door, Edward cursed the sorcerers of the northern wastelands for being inhuman, but during his war council with the dwarf king…

The two of them tacitly avoided mentioning the magic scrolls.

Taf turned over, her short legs splashing around in the water, clearly scoffing at Luo Yan's explanation.

"You rascal... I've discovered that anything you say can turn into something good."

Looking at Taf, who was swimming on her back on the water, Luo Yan smiled without saying a word.

Congratulations, researcher Taff from the Zeta Empire, you have once again uncovered the essence of mystery... The reward is a hot spring egg.

Unfortunately, little Taf didn't read the devil's intentions in his eyes, otherwise she would have been so frightened that she would have spilled one on the spot.

After floating for a while, Taffy squinted comfortably and let out a sigh.

"But speaking of which... I never expected there to be such a wonderful place in the Wanren Mountains. Back when I was at the height of my power, I actually missed it."

"That means you haven't really looked at the lands you've ruled carefully; you're just playing a map coloring game."

Tauf pretended not to hear, turned her head to the side, and blew bubbles into the air.

Luo Yan didn't continue to tease her on this topic. He simply leaned back against the rock wall behind him, enjoying the warm spring water soaking into every inch of his skin.

This is indeed a place blessed with good feng shui.

When Misi discovered this place while surveying the terrain of Hot Spring Peak, he immediately treasured it and eagerly presented it to the Demon King.

Luo Yan conducted a brief survey of the earth's veins beneath the hot spring and discovered that there was a high-quality magic crystal mine buried beneath it.

It is precisely for this reason that the misty fog is rich in magic, or rather, natural "spiritual essence," which not only shields the mosquitoes in the mountains, but also acts as an invisible barrier, keeping out all the noise and disturbances of the outside world.

Soaking in this spiritually rich hot spring is not only beneficial to the body, but also has a soothing effect on the mind.

Just as Luo Yan was relaxing, a gentle voice came from behind him.

"My Lord Demon King, please feel free to give me any instructions."

Sarah, dressed in a maid outfit, remained standing guard behind the Demon King. And this was the third time she had uttered those words in ten minutes.

The damp air soaked her black hair, her cat ears swayed gently, and her amber eyes were full of anticipation.

It's clear that the loyal Sarah genuinely wants to do something for her master, but Luo Yan doesn't really need her help with anything.

Luo Yan raised his head, smiled at Sarah behind him, and said.

"No need, Sarah, you should relax for a while. There are no outsiders here, so there's no need to be so formal."

"As ordered."

A blush rose on her gentle face. Sarah nodded slightly, then naturally reached out to unbutton her collar.

Upon seeing this, Luo Yan quickly said something.

There's also a hot spring next door.

Sarah's finger stopped on the second button, but she clearly didn't want to stop.

"Do I know what's there?"

"No, I meant you can soak there too..."

The air was quiet for a few seconds, with only the sound of the hot spring flowing and the sound of Taf burying her nose in the water and blowing bubbles.

Sarah stared at Luo Yan for a while, making sure that the Demon King was serious, before regretfully scoffing and turning to walk behind the rocks next door.

That figure looked somewhat forlorn.

Luo Yan breathed a sigh of relief; he almost couldn't concentrate on enjoying the hot spring.

Taf, who was soaking in the water, made "plop plop plop" laughs and said jokingly.

"You all can soak together, don't worry about me. I'm just a dragon, and I can dive into the water if necessary!"

Taf wasn't the only one who loved watching the drama unfold; Youyou also popped out, her milky-white mist merging into the fog, excitedly urging on the scene.

"Yes, yes, Lord Demon King, listening to the prayers of believers and fulfilling their wishes are both part of the duties of a god—"

"Shut up, Youyou."

Luo Yan replied casually, while simultaneously raising his index finger slightly, and an invisible magical force instantly enveloped the water's surface.

Since breaking through to the Grandmaster level, his control over power has become increasingly masterful, to the point that he no longer needs to be bound by elements visible to the naked eye.

Almost instantly, before Taf, with a mischievous grin on her face, could react, her pale golden head was pressed into the hot spring by an irresistible force.

"Gurgle, gurgle—!"

A series of bubbles rose from the bottom of the water, accompanied by the frantic struggle of a fleshy lizard.

A few seconds later, the force dissipated, and Taf burst out of the water, coughing and spitting out a thin stream of water.

"You...you actually used your superhuman power to bully ordinary people! Are you even human?!"

"You're not human."

Luo Yan replied indifferently, without even opening his eyes.

"@%&#!"

Enraged, Taf spewed out a string of obscure Zeta language insults, but Luo Yan couldn't understand them at all, so it was practically the same as not cursing at all.

He adjusted to a comfortable position and continued to lean back, letting the spiritually rich spring water submerge his shoulders. He allowed his spiritual energy to roam freely in the misty air, fully merging with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth—or rather, the "honeycomb."

With players charging into battle on the front lines, he didn't need to worry about it personally.

really--

The leisure time stolen from a busy schedule is the real joy.

Just as Luo Yan was enjoying this rare moment of tranquility, the sound of bare feet stepping on damp rocks suddenly came from outside the thick fog.

The sound was very soft, yet it was exceptionally clear in the quiet night.

Luo Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, and his mental energy, which had been immersed in the hot spring, subconsciously expanded outward, sweeping towards the direction from which the sound came.

However, this was not a good thing at all. The scene transmitted through the layers of white mist by the spiritual power made even the Demon King feel a little embarrassed.

Amidst the rising steam, Eileen, wrapped in a thin bath towel, walked towards them, humming a soothing and cheerful tune.

The bath towel wasn't large, barely covering her vital areas, revealing a large expanse of milky white skin. Her wet, silver hair clung to her shoulders and collarbone, water droplets dripping down her shapely curves.

The two looked at each other through the thin mist, and the air seemed to pause for a moment before quickly boiling again.

Almost instantly, Eileen's cheeks flushed crimson at a visible speed, and then the crimson quickly spread to her ears and neck.

"!!!"

The chosen one was no ordinary person; this valiant princess did not let out a girlish scream.

However, it was clear that she was still flustered by this sudden situation.

Luo Yan didn't expect that the brave lady's first reaction would not be to turn around and run away, but to rush into the hot spring in one go.

thump--!
A loud bang was heard, and the surging water splashed seven or eight meters away, not only splashing Luo Yan's face, but also throwing Tafu, who was paddling on the hot spring, out of the water, and making her thrash around several times in the turbulent "tsunami".

"...%￥#!"

He blurted out a few phrases from the Zeta Empire's national essence.

However, when the golden female dragon steadied herself and poked her head out again, there was no anger in her vertical pupils. Instead, they gleamed with anticipation, as if she were watching a good show.

what's the situation? !

Is the exciting show finally coming?
Luo Yan was also taken aback by Eileen's sudden action. He wiped the water droplets from his face and hesitated for a moment before tentatively asking.

"Eileen? What happened to you..."

"Theresa said the hot springs here can cure fatigue and recommended I come here to relax... What are you doing here?!"

Eileen's shoulders shrank smaller and smaller, just like her panicked and helpless voice, until they finally sank into the warm spring water, turning into bubbling bubbles on the surface.

She hugged her knees, burying most of her face behind them, revealing only a pair of emerald green eyes filled with shame and indignation, unsure of where to look.

Luo Yan was the same; he didn't know where to look, and he awkwardly pulled his arm back from the rock.

Skillful.

He heard the news from his subordinates and never expected that the little devil from the land of nightmares would have the same idea as the heroine's personal guard.

"I... I heard it from my subordinates."

"Oh oh oh..." Eileen remained submerged in the water, like an ostrich burying its head in the sand, unaware of how strange her voice sounded.

"Calm down first, have a drink."

Luo Yan slightly raised his index finger, and the spatial ring placed next to his clothes flashed with a faint light.

A bottle of chilled honey water, sealed with a cork, appeared out of thin air and, propelled by magic, slowly floated to Eileen's feet.

Eileen instinctively reached out her hands to catch it, but as soon as her arms left the water, the towel was swept away by the water like a soap bubble, startling her so much that she plopped back into the water, blushing and hugging her knees tightly to her chest.

Her panicked eyes darted around like a frightened deer. Only at the very end did she regain her composure, giving the "culprit" a slightly annoyed glare, as if in silent accusation—

'A malicious fellow.'

Heaven and earth conscience.

Luo Yan didn't mean it. He never takes advantage of others in such matters, and he doesn't need to play any tricks or feints, because there's simply no need for it.

"...Let me state upfront that I did not do it on purpose."

“I believe you…you’re not that kind of person.” Eileen seemed to agree, muttering softly as she held the honey water hidden behind her knees and unscrewed the cork.

However, this statement of trust did not ease the atmosphere; instead, it intensified the ambiguous feeling in the air, like a sugar cube slowly dissolving in black tea.

Taf quietly swam behind a huge rock, wagging her tail excitedly, anticipating what would happen next.

The two soaked in silence for a while before Luo Yan broke the silence.

"Speaking of which, are you getting used to it?"

Eileen paused for a moment, then realized what was happening.

"What do you mean?"

"Vampires".

Luo Yan glanced at her silver hair and her skin, which appeared even paler in the moonlight... Then he took a towel from the side and covered himself up as well.

"I'm okay."

Eileen took a small sip of honey water, feeling the cool sweetness slide down her throat, and after a pause, continued.

"Perhaps it's because the holy light power unique to the Campbell family flows in my blood, which to some extent suppresses my craving for blood. Apart from developing a liking for rare steaks, I seem to be no different from before."

"That's good." Luo Yan nodded.

He knew that the vampires of hell did not die without blood, but they would become listless if they did not drink blood for a long time.

Just like the citizens of Leiming City who have left behind black tea.

Vivian's fondness for Minotaur blood, however, stemmed more from personal preference. If it weren't available, she could refuse to drink it at all, or use it as leverage, throwing a tantrum and demanding the Demon King's blood.

A tranquil atmosphere flowed between the two, with only the occasional sound of water around them.

Eileen glanced at the baby dragon floating not far away, recognized it as Colin's pet, and then looked away.

"Um... Colin."

"what happened?"

Eileen hesitated for a moment, as if making a difficult decision.

"Do you think... I should tell my brother about me becoming a vampire? I think, at least... he should know the truth." Luo Yan didn't answer immediately.

Seeing Eileen's conflicted expression, he knew this was a thorn in her side, so he thought for a moment and then spoke.

"Some things need the right timing."

Eileen looked somewhat dejected. She buried her chin in her knees and curled up in the hot spring.

"Isn't the time right yet...?"

“I don’t think so,” Luo Yan said softly. “After witnessing the darkness in the Wanren Mountains, both your brother and the people of the Campbell family desperately need a sun to dispel the darkness in their hearts.”

“I think you should be honest with people, but you should do it when they no longer need the light of praise, not now when they need comfort the most.”

"Eileen said, her head down."

"But this always makes me feel like I've deceived him. After all, he's my family, and one of the people I care about most in this world."

"The fact that you think this way shows that you are a kind person."

Luo Yan's voice softened, carrying a calming power.

"However, kindness alone is not enough to make our world a better place. I believe that after you have seen the changes in Thunder City, you will be able to understand the decisions your brother made back then."

Eileen looked up and met those deep purple eyes. This time, her gaze didn't waver. The gloom in her heart seemed to dissipate somewhat, and a serene smile appeared on her face.

"Thank you, I feel much better after hearing that."

Luo Yan nodded with a smile.

"polite."

Eileen looked at Colin sitting opposite her.

From the first day they met until now, he always seems to appear at crucial moments, lending a helping hand to her when she is in trouble.

Feeling a little embarrassed, she buried her chin and gaze back between her knees and whispered.

"You always appear when I need you, whether on the battlefield or... somewhere else. Sometimes I really don't know how to thank you enough..."

"No need to thank you."

Luo Yan smiled and said in a gentle tone.

“You’ve helped me a lot, but you haven’t realized it yourself. For example… just like I said, your light shines on the people around you, and I am one of them.”

These words made Eileen's heart skip a beat.

She blinked, her long eyelashes glistening with water droplets, making her look exceptionally beautiful, and then, as if possessed, she said something.

"Then... can you do me another favor?"

Luo Yan smiled slightly.

"I'm happy to help you."

Eileen didn't say it right away. Instead, she blushed and squirmed in the water for a while, as if she wanted to borrow courage from her next life.

"I want to... give it a try."

"try it?"

"Hmm... I've never tried it before, I'm curious to know what it feels like..."

Ok?
Luo Yan was stunned for a moment. Looking at her shy and timid appearance, he felt his heart skip a beat.

What's happening here?
"No, don't misunderstand..."

Seemingly realizing the ambiguity of her words, Eileen was startled by her own boldness, her face turning as red as if it were about to bleed, and she quickly added a sentence afterward.

"It's... sucking, sucking blood..."

Saint Sith above...

She is definitely not that kind of person. She hopes that His Highness Colin will not misunderstand. She is just curious about how vampires drink blood.

This had been a source of confusion for her all along, and she had never told anyone, not even Theresa, who knew the inside story.

Since becoming a vampire, Colin has exuded a deadly attraction that makes her unable to stop swallowing.

Especially at night.

Every time she was near him, she had to endure for a long time to suppress the urge to pounce on him and bite him.

After that night in Granston Castle, Eileen reflected on her actions for a long time. Perhaps she didn't act rashly because she was drunk, but because of some kind of vampire instinct.

She consulted many sources, but the library in Thunder City did not contain much information about Hell, and the encyclopedia only mentioned it briefly.

However, one thing is certain: if you only take a small bite and don't absorb too much of the essence of life, it won't cause any real harm to the other party.

She had tried to forget about it, but Colin's earlier words kept replaying in her mind—

'If you're really hungry, you can borrow my neck.'

Yes, I didn't mean anything by it.

Eileen just wanted to know if he was serious or just trying to appease her.

"You...you said it..."

Eileen didn't dare look into Luo Yan's eyes, but her gaze lingered near his collarbone as she quietly swallowed.

"If you're really hungry, you can lend me your neck... or even your arm."

In the quiet night, that clear "gulp" swallowing sound seemed particularly loud and beautiful.

Even Taf, who was secretly observing from underwater, couldn't help but let out an expectant "glug," her golden vertical pupils gleaming with anticipation.

what's the situation? !

So, is it true that hairless monkeys' mating season is in the summer?

Hurry up!

Seeing the heroine's increasingly rapid breathing and burning cheeks, Luo Yan, soaking in the hot spring, didn't know what to say for a moment.

Then... be gentle?

But wouldn't it be a bit strange for me to say that myself?
Just as the atmosphere between the two was gradually warming up, a sudden "bang" broke the beautiful tranquility.

That was the sound of a wooden bathtub slamming hard onto the rocky ground.

Luo Yan and Eileen both turned to look at the same time.

Behind the swirling white mist, Vivian, with her hair tied in a bun, stood dumbfounded beside the hot spring, wrapped in a white bath towel.

"Vivian?!" Eileen exclaimed, a momentary look of panic crossing her eyes, though she didn't know why she was panicking.

"What are you doing here?!" Vivian's voice rose even higher than usual, like a squirrel whose tail had been stepped on.

Those crimson eyes darted back and forth between the two of them, their pupils filled with shock, as if an earthquake had struck.

Eileen, her face flushed, was about to explain, but Vivian didn't give her a chance to speak at all, and jumped into the hot spring with a "plop".

The purple cannonball landed precisely beside Luo Yan, and with a few clean and efficient butterfly strokes, it was already hanging on someone's arm in the blink of an eye.

"What are you doing?!"

Eileen stood up from the water with a "whoosh," her right hand clutching a towel, her face flushed, staring in surprise at the brat who had forced his way next to Colin.

Vivian wiped the water off her face, glanced triumphantly at Eileen, and concealed her current disheveled state.

"Kukuku, of course it's for a bath! Your name isn't written here!"

“What, what kind of behavior is this… I mean, have you considered His Highness Colin’s feelings?” Eileen said incoherently.

"What's the big deal? Isn't it only natural for a brother to rub his sister's back?" Vivian raised her chin, looking completely matter-of-fact.

"What kind of self-evident right is this?!"

Eileen felt her worldview was being challenged. Although she knew that Colin and Vivian had a good relationship, this was no longer just a "good relationship."

Vivian felt no shame whatsoever; on the contrary, she was even more pleased by Eileen's panic and gradually became more and more unrestrained in her speech.

"That's how it is on the continent of Gana! We used to bathe together like this all the time when we were kids!"

Eileen's gaze suddenly became somewhat dazed. She turned to look at Colin, her eyes filled with an incredulous question.

“Colin…”

"That's not true, she's bragging. We didn't even know each other when we were kids." To be honest, Luo Yan was indeed in a bit of a passive position now.

It wasn't because Vivian had the strength to drag a train, but because it was dangerous for him to move his arm in any direction.

Hearing Colin's denial, Eileen finally breathed a sigh of relief, her tense shoulders relaxed, and her emerald green eyes stopped trembling.

Phew... it was just a bluff.

Scare yourself.

However, before she could fully relax, Vivian next to her suddenly exploded.

Her boast was exposed on the spot, especially in front of her "family," which caused Vivian to experience an unprecedented breakdown in her defenses.

Her crimson eyes welled up with tears, which eventually culminated in an outburst of emotion as she angrily thrashed about in the water.

"Ugh... Damn it, I'm so angry! I'm going to kill Roxie Collin! Give me back my brother!"

Luo Yan: "Calm down..."

"Stop it, Vivian. He's your brother. You two should get along well... I mean, in a healthy way." After understanding the situation, the kind-hearted Eileen stopped being jealous and instead helped Colin comfort her sister.

"..." Although Luo Yan felt that Vivian probably didn't want to kill him, and that Roxie Collin was someone else, he really didn't know where to begin explaining, so he could only remain silent.

Vivian stirred up a large amount of water, instantly turning the entire hot spring pool into a mini tsunami scene. The white mist and splashing water droplets completely obscured the view, and even made Taff, who was about to burst out laughing, gradually stop laughing and cast a terrified look at the center of the whirlpool.

Just then, hurried footsteps came from afar.

"Your Highness! What happened?!"

Theresa, who had been waiting on the perimeter, heard the commotion and screams coming from the hot spring. Thinking something had happened, she gripped her sword hilt and rushed to the hot spring with a tense expression.

However, when she saw what was in front of her, she was completely stunned.

"Your Highness...hmm?"

In the hot spring pool, Princess Eileen stood wrapped in a towel, her face flushed and looking completely bewildered. Meanwhile, Vivian was splashing and rolling around in the water like a child, seemingly going about her own crazy business.

Theresa stared blankly at the two people in the hot spring.

"you……"

what happened?
Noticing Theresa standing by the hot spring, Vivian, who was venting her emotions, suddenly stopped what she was doing, crossed her arms over her chest, and shouted loudly with a flushed face.

"No, it's not what you think!"

"...?"

Theresa's eyes looked even more confused.

She wasn't thinking about anything.

At that moment, Eileen suddenly noticed that someone was missing from the hot spring, so she looked around.

"By the way... where did Colin go?"

He was sitting there just a moment ago, how could he have disappeared in the blink of an eye?
Vivian finally realized it too, and her little face turned to the side in a flash. Sure enough, she didn't see her brother in the hot spring.

It wasn't just her brother.

Even Tauf has disappeared!
“Your Highness…” Teresa looked away from the distraught Vivian and then at Eileen with concern.

"I'm fine, Theresa... You may leave."

Eileen gave Theresa a gentle smile, relieved that Theresa hadn't caught them in that embarrassing scene, but also feeling a slight pang of disappointment.

That guy got away again...

……

Meanwhile, another hot spring pool is located halfway up the mountain.

Although the atmosphere here wasn't as noisy as next door, the pressure permeating the misty air was no less intense.

On the mirror-like surface of the pool, two figures, one large and one small, gaze at each other from afar.

Sitting upright on the edge of the warm pool, Sarah stared expressionlessly at the "Nightmare Demon General" sitting opposite her, her amber vertical pupils slightly narrowed.

Sisi, sitting opposite her, was the same, lazily crossing her lotus-root-like legs, her bat-like wings spread flat on the water's surface.

"What are you doing here?" Sisi raised an eyebrow, a strand of scarlet hair twirling between her fingers, her tone carrying a hint of displeasure at being disturbed.

Sarah looked coldly at her colleague, showing no sign of backing down despite his status.

"...I was just about to ask you the same question."

"Ask me? Interesting. Of course, I am waiting for Your Majesty... And you, don't you think you are being a bit presumptuous?"

"Oh? Does the Demon King know about this?"

He will find out.

"..." Sarah's lips curled up slightly. This guy seemed completely unaware that he was lost and had come to the wrong place.

However, Sisi took her gaze as a provocation, a hint of anger flashing in her scarlet eyes, and she glared back without any politeness.

Their gazes met in the air, like needles clashing against wheat awns, and invisible sparks crackled on the water's surface.

Unlike the harmonious Campbell's Castle, the scheming and intrigue between the demon generals is just a daily occurrence in the Thundershire Labyrinth.

This was true during the era of Dragon.

In the current era of Luo Yan, things are relatively peaceful.

Not far away, behind an inconspicuous rock, Missy, the "little devil who is best at relaying messages in the Great Cemetery," was huddled up with his knees drawn up to his chest, trembling.

"Oh no...we led you the wrong way."

The incredibly clever Missy originally wanted to create a beautiful encounter, but she didn't expect that the Demon King would go next door, while the silly cat by the Demon King's side would come here instead.

It must have been Alakdo who tipped him off!

Missy thought to herself, "I'll definitely teach that stupid spider a lesson when I get back, and show it that you can't afford to offend the little devil from Nightmare Land!"
but……

Hearing the arguing coming from next door, Missy felt a surge of relief, as if she had survived a disaster.

Luckily, I went into the wrong place.

If Queen Sissi and Princess Irene were to meet, something big is likely to happen on Hot Spring Peak tonight...
