The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Vivian's face showed a look of disappointment, seemingly regretful for missing the ultimate taste of the Mortal World.

Luo Yan didn't want to know what she was regretting, so he focused on the menu in front of him and asked Mia sitting next to him if she wanted to add anything.

For some reason, Mia's usual demeanor changed, becoming quite unusual.

She propped her cheeks with both hands, looking at Luo Yan and gently shaking her head, her voice soft and weak, revealing none of her Silver Level strength.

"You decide, whatever you like, I like too."

What a true Silver Level Enchanting Demon—

Luo Yan was fine, given his research on tea art; this was just a beginner's level, showing that this poor student really returned all of Professor Lilith's teachings.

However, unlike him, Vivian sitting next to him looked like she received a thousand-point critical hit, acting seriously injured, wiping non-existent blood from the corner of her mouth.

Damn it...

Is this the strength of the Padric family?

Truly terrifying!

Mia looked at her with a smile, appearing certain of success, firmly grasping the future.

Though it's a bit unfair to bully a kid, Mia no longer intended to treat her as just a sister but to strike hard.

Moreover, she was gradually mastering the knack for breaking her defenses—

Just show dear Luo Yan some attention!

With such thoughts, Mia still underestimated Vivian's jealousy and revenge instinct.

This girl must be a Scorpio.

Their eyes sparked in the air until a Skeleton walked up carrying a large iron pot.

"Yuan Yang hot pot is here! Help yourselves to the condiments!"

Charcoal ignited, and bubbles rose in the pot.

Vivian hurried off to get the condiments, only to trip over the chair of the table next to theirs with a sad "yaw" as she returned.

Luo Yan quickly reached out to catch her, but didn't notice the mischievous smile at her lips.

Her slender white forefinger gently slid, sending an entire plate of sliced dried chili and chili oil accurately into the clear broth of the Yuan Yang hot pot.

The originally clear soup quickly turned an eerie red, even the air was filled with a pungent spicy aroma.

"Ah... Oh no..." Vivian's face turned pale, nervously looking at Luo Yan and whispered, "Bro, Bro... I... I accidentally poured the chili in..."

Her voice was full of regret and unease, her finger curling behind her, like a child who made a mistake, longing for her elder brother's forgiveness.

However, if looked closely, it wouldn't be hard to see a hint of mischievous delight hidden in the depths of her eyes.

Saying it wasn't intentional still works.

It could only be deliberate.

"...It's alright as long as you're fine."

Not wanting to expose her trick, Luo Yan sighed and looked at Mia, who had a tense tail.

"How about I swap the pot?"

"Heh, heh-heh-heh..." Mia laughed stiffly as if trying to prove something, quickly sweep a piece of meat in the pot and swallowed it instantly, "Who said I can't eat spicy?"

No one said she couldn't.

But just as she awkwardly pinched the tongs and the meat arrived in her mouth, her already vivid lips instantly turned blood-red, as if she might spit fire the next second.

"Pft... Hahaha... Oh wow!"

The uncontrolled laughter thoroughly exposed Vivian's wild ambition, earning her a smack on the head.

"You little—"

Seeing Vivian looking pitifully with her head held in her hands, pretending to be sorry, Mia was furious, gnashing her teeth as she picked up another piece of beef soaked in chili oil and stuffed it into her mouth.

Vivian caught off guard, her mouth sealed by Mia.

"Mmm—?!"

She widened her eyes, trying to escape, but it was all too late!

The chili oil melted on the tip of her tongue, the scorching burn instantly swept through her mouth, she couldn't even chew, feeling boiling magma rolling down her throat.

"Water—!! I need water!!!"

Tears suddenly burst out, she hurriedly grabbed the teacup from the table and gulped it down, only to make things worse.

It was a cup of hot tea.

Though not hot, for Miss Vivian's tender mouth at this moment, any slightest temperature would be magnified infinitely.

"Oh oh oh!! I'm dying!!"

Is it necessary to exaggerate so much?

Luo Yan speechlessly waved his Magic Wand, lowering frost on the steaming cup, saving Vivian from the unexpected chaos.

However, at that moment, the suspended wand tip suddenly paused, then cast a meaningful gaze at the player holding a tray and standing beside.

"Did you add something... that shouldn't appear in Hell?"

The soul fire within the burning skull flickered instantly upon hearing those words.

[Greedy Sword God] averted his gaze, stuttering.

"Lord Demon King, you've misunderstood... We... um... were developing... a Hell hot pot that even Gold Level champions could feel, so-so—so..."

So you infused the chili with Holy Light power, right?

The demons of Demon City might not have seen that stuff, the two similar burning sensations mixed together are really hard to distinguish, but after a while, it's hard to say.

Especially Vivian, she's experienced it.

"Switch a pot, okay?" Luo Yan looked at him with a half-smile but held a deep, cold gaze.

"No, no problem!" [Greedy Sword God] trembled with fright, nodding nervously.

He was about to leave with the hot pot but suddenly lost control of his body, his skeleton frame froze.

"...I hope this is the last time, understand what I mean?" A voice devoid of emotional fluctuation whispered into his ears, causing his entire skeletal body to tense up.

"Yes!"

Listening to the scream from the soul's depths, Luo Yan lightly nodded and spared this player who took him as an experiment.

Although infuriating, this was ultimately his own territory.

"Let it not happen again."

A potential food safety crisis that nearly swept the whole Demon City was thus nipped in the bud by Lord Demon King.

A new pot was brought up, and this time the three little players didn't dare try any "innovation," the Yuan Yang hot pot was simply just a spicy pot and clear soup.

To Mia's surprise, she suddenly found herself able to eat spicy, though still not very fond of it, at least her throat didn't feel like it was burning.

Vivian looked puzzled, took a bite of chili, and drank a mouthful of spicy soup, sensing something was missing compared to before, but couldn't pinpoint what.

Luo Yan calmly enjoyed the food, when Youyou's voice suddenly drifted into his ear.

"Lord Demon King, bad news!"

Setting down his utensils, finally resting for a moment, Luo Yan sighed, silently asking himself.

"What's wrong now?"

Youyou spun in the sky, urgently saying.

"Not me, but your servant Lumier! That captain you sent to wander the Western Vast Ocean!"

Lumier?

Luo Yan frowned slightly, about to inquire, when the anxious voice continued nonstop—

"...His ship ran aground on an unknown coast!"
