The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Luo Yan chuckled softly, appearing unsurprised. "Even the Padric Family finds it tricky?"

Feistin smiled and said, "We have the capability to control certain situations, but we're not omnipotent. For instance, we can turn a barren land into a thicket, but we can't dictate the order that will grow within that dense grass, even if we can set it ablaze. Besides, Black Wind Castle is your domain, you have to manage your own lawn, don't you?"

As he spoke, his tone turned more meaningful.

"Your decision to return to Black Wind Castle is a significant variable for the insects living there. You may think a few grasshoppers are not worth worrying about, but it's a different matter if they conspire with your neighbors."

Luo Yan understood Feistin's implication; that unfriendly neighbor could only be the Dragon family, something Mia had mentioned in her earlier letters.

"Thank you for your reminder, I will pay attention."

Feistin nodded with a smile.

"That's good."

If Luo Yan did not request his help, he had no intention of offering it.

On one hand, unsolicited help seemed too cheap, and on the other, he was curious to see how this Demon King of Thunder County would handle the situation.

After all, this was the man his daughter had chosen, so as a father, he naturally had to scrutinize him carefully.

The carriage continued forward, and after a pause, Feistin suddenly changed the topic.

"Speaking of which, I always wanted to chat with you, and I specifically asked my daughter to give you a key to the Padric Family library, yet you never showed up... You didn't lose that key, did you?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Yan's expression stiffened slightly.

He didn't lose the key; it still sat within the space ring Professor Lilith had given him.

The reason he hadn't gone was simply because he had forgotten about it.

At that time, the internal factional struggle in the Great Graveyard had not fully abated, and the Campbell Duchy was in the midst of turmoil. His energy was mostly focused on these two matters, with little attention left for Hell.

It was only after these two matters were settled that he had the time to come back and see the Baron Territory he'd acquired from the Dragon family...

Of course, he couldn't admit he'd forgotten about it, and presumably, Mr. Feistin wouldn't want to hear the truth either.

Luo Yan cleared his throat and calmly said.

"Isn't it better to discuss such matters in person? Talking inside my head... somehow feels less honest. After all, it's our first formal meeting, and I wanted to leave a good impression on Mia's father."

Feistin was slightly taken aback by this, then suddenly burst into laughter.

"Interesting... I'm liking you more and more."

Though he wasn't entirely sure what had happened, the other party seemed to have a favorable impression of him?

Luo Yan nodded slightly and said pleasantly.

"It's an honor to receive such praise from you."

Meanwhile, in another carriage, the atmosphere was as tense as the dead of winter.

The young master of the Colin family showed no courtesy to the Padric Family heir, crossing his arms and wearing a cold expression.

Mia maintained a stiff smile, but as time passed, she struggled to keep her expression.

No one can always warmly regard an icy reception, especially when facing an arrogant and haughty brat.

Even if the other party might become her future sister-in-law.

Mia coughed slightly, trying to ease the tension between them, and gently said.

"Miss Vivian, we're almost at your brother's territory, is this your first time here?"

"Tsk."

"..." Mia's brow twitched, feeling her fists tighten.

She took a deep breath, convincing herself to remain calm, and finally said with a beaming smile.

"Hehehe... Miss Vivian has such a straightforward personality, I really admire that."

Upon saying this, she couldn't help but feel a little queasy.

As the eldest daughter of the Padric Family, people always fawned over her; she had never fawned over anyone else.

"Of course," Vivian's nose tilted slightly, her cold and pretty face flawless as a doll's, though her sarcastic tone was anything but charming. "Our noble Blood Race never pretends or fakes, always daring to love and hate, unlike a certain Enchanting Demon who likes to put on airs, feign affection, and take advantage of others... precarious as eggs stacked."

"You... relative." Mia gritted her teeth, almost letting a more crude term slip, but managed to hold back at the last moment.

Upon hearing this, Vivian's eyebrows arched with fury.

"Shut up! Who's your relative! My brother... is mine!"

Mia's eyes narrowed.

Even though her strength was only silver, incomparable to this legendary Gold Level genius girl, she had confidence in her spiritual power.

That was the Racial Talent of the Enchanting Demon.

The collision of spiritual powers sparked invisible fires inside the carriage as they glared at each other, with Mia no longer indulging her.

The overwhelming pressure within the carriage made the Hell warhorse pulling it shiver, almost collapsing.

If it were the experienced Pegasus Brothers from the Padric Family, they might have remained calm, but this one was just a small-time Karrami under Bronze Level...

In another carriage, Feistin sensed the situation behind them and couldn't help but smile slightly, jokingly saying.

"It's the first time I've seen my precious daughter with so much energy."

Luo Yan's expression was slightly awkward.

"Forgive me... I'll remind Miss Vivian to show some restraint."

He felt that Mr. Feistin probably knew his identity by now, so further concealment seemed meaningless.

Feistin chuckled at this and continued.

"It's fine, I even feel their relationship is quite good."

"Really?" Luo Yan's expression was ambivalent.

Feistin nodded with a cheerful smile and said.

"Isn't there a saying that goes, 'Friendship forged through fists is the strongest'?"

There indeed was such a saying in Hell.

Luo Yan and the Dragon family's second son were on good terms precisely because they were bonded through repeated 'fist exchange.'

Whether this theory applied to Mia and Vivian, Luo Yan couldn't help but question, given his firsthand experience with Vivian's prickly personality.

Feistin mused for a while before continuing.

"My daughter grew up in an environment where she was perpetually the center of attention, and her personality isn't much better than the eldest daughter of the Colin family. It's partly why she's always had a lack of true friends..."

Luo Yan recalled their time at the Demon King Academy; indeed, Mia didn't have many friends. In contrast, Vivian had at least one close friend and a bunch of hangers-on.

Then again, most students at the Demon King Academy didn't have friends, not just a problem unique to Mia.

Feistin's gaze suddenly fell on Luo Yan, carrying a touch of admiration.

"Speaking of which, I have to thank you. Since the graduation ceremony, she has changed a lot, not only has she become gentler, but she also learned to care for those around her... Without a doubt, that's your doing."

"I don't deserve such praise," Luo Yan humbly said, "I haven't done much."

Feistin smiled without saying a word.

"Let's leave it at that then."

As the husband of an Enchanting Demon, his views were far more liberal, not as conservative as other demons.

He gazed out the window as he spoke, seeing the silhouette of Black Wind Castle gradually emerging in the light of the magic crystal lamp posts, tall chimneys slowly exhaling plumes of black smoke.

The magic crystal lamp posts atop the Magic Crystal Cannon Factory synchronized with the Purple Crystal Dome above the Demon City, marking a new day whenever they lit up.

Feistin squinted slightly, smiling as he said.

"We have arrived."
