The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

However, just at that moment, a handsome face appeared in her view, immediately dispelling the resentment that weighed down her chest.

Looking at Mr. Colin dining under the magic crystal lamp, she felt a smooth relief in her breasts.

"Mr. Colin?! How are you here... I mean, it's so good to see you're fine."

A bashful smile blossomed on the face that had recently been touched up with makeup, and she instinctively shortened her stride, winding her curled hair around her bent finger, appearing as demure as a newlywed, not at all like a mother.

"Thank you for your concern, madam. Also, today's dinner was delicious. I hope you don't mind if I tip your chef."

"Of course, I don't mind. It's his honor." Marina lightly lifted her skirt and nodded, as if at a ball, elegantly saying, "Additionally, your room has been prepared, in the annex on the other side of the estate. If you don't mind, please allow me the honor to lead you there."

"I would be honored."

Luo Yan smiled and nodded, then looked respectfully at the chef waiting nearby, placing a gold coin next to the napkin.

This was his habit, as well as the persona he shaped for Mr. Colin.

After all, this money was contributed by other humans; he merely redistributed it to those in need.

Looking at the gold coin on the table, the chef held it excitedly, then deeply bowed.

"Thank you, you truly are a generous gentleman."

Marina felt the same, gazing fondly at the respected gentleman, feeling his action of paying was exceptionally graceful.

If Lord Ges were like him, she might not dislike him counting those mundane things every day.

"Please follow me."

Luo Yan nodded, following the baron's wife to the annex on the other side.

Due to royal protocols or rather the law, the Princess and her trusted aide must reside in a separate building, so the Ges family arranged for him in another two-story villa.

Anyway, there were plenty of houses here.

The baron's wife introduced the facilities of the entire building as they walked, including places for afternoon tea, dining areas, a separate meditation room, and a large bath.

Such introductions could have been made by a servant, yet she enthusiastically served him personally.

While her explanation was out of gratitude for saving her family, Luo Yan always felt her gaze held another meaning.

"...This house hasn't been occupied for a while, and the estate servants just tidied it up yesterday. Although it may seem a bit deserted, the advantage is there's no one to disturb you. When I heard you were a mage, I specifically chose this place."

Luo Yan nodded slightly.

"Thank you for your thoughtfulness."

Seeing the courteous Mr. Colin, Marina smiled and gently blinked her eyes.

"You're welcome. You are indeed my benefactor, I'm willing to do anything for you. If you need anything, please feel free to ask."

She emphasized the word "anything" with weight, surprisingly bold even for herself.

Luo Yan believed this was spoken in the heat of the moment, so he did not say much but simply smiled and nodded.

"I will."

He suddenly understood why vampires always seemed quite attractive.

The less attractive ones were likely killed, leaving only those who had no worries about meals...

The expectant gaze gradually turned into disappointment, and the baron's wife eventually left regrettably.

After seeing off the baron's wife, Luo Yan remained alone in the two-story villa.

The sky outside was pitch black, and it might well be close to dawn.

After a busy day, he first went to the bathroom for a hot bath, washing away the day's fatigue.

Soaking in the steamy mist, he mused like a lifesaver, bobbing up and down, saying.

"It feels like the Mortal World and Hell are really similar... no matter the people, or matters and such."

Luo Yan casually remarked, soaking in the bath.

"Before demons become demons, they were just another kind of human. I read a theory during my time at the Demon King Academy that in a long-distant age, there were no elves, beastmen, and dwarves, only diverse humans."

"Really?" Youyou was surprised, blinking her abstractly large eyes, appearing in the bathroom mirror. "But, the difference is too great, isn't it? Like ratmen and goblins and such."

Luo Yan: "That's why it's just a theory. There are arguments both for and against, much like the idea that humans evolved from monkeys. Believers have reasons to believe, non-believers have reasons to doubt; you might as well take it as a joke."

Youyou shook her abstract head.

"But turning into a demon, I can understand, turning into a goblin or ratmen would be too miserable, wouldn't it?"

Luo Yan lightly chuckled.

"Who knows? Don't forget there's the Wish Machine able to fulfill all desires in this world. Any small influence can be endlessly amplified over time, eventually deviating from the original wish."

For example, a certain race, before the Divine anchor stabilizing people's Spirit appeared, wished to dig deeper holes like rats and accommodate more of their kind.

Over time, their habits and even appearances grew closer to rats.

Ultimately, when everyone emerged from the caves, they couldn't leave, completely trapping themselves inside.

Those trapped in caves partially grew to resemble rats, while another part began to miss being human.

Thousands or even tens of thousands of years later, some completely became ratmen, while others turned into goblins or dwarves... until the emergence of primitive worship and prophets, leading to the birth of religious prototypes, anchoring such chaotic evolution.

Demon City's scholars have been studying these academic issues, albeit relatively niche ones.

He stumbled upon this while examining the habits and traits of different races.

Luo Yan believes the Academic State on the Aus Continent likely has similar studies, since according to Miranda, the Wizard Towers there spread like stalagmites in caves, making any bizarre occurrences not surprising.

If possible, he would quite like to visit there.

However, his reach hasn't extended that far for now, temporarily unable to stretch to that distant place.

Currently, his task remains to spread corruption in the Campbell Duchy until the people here completely become his followers...
