Chapter 517: Lanqi heard that Talia was an eighth-level demon
The profiles of Talia and Hyperion were reflected on the window glass not far from the bedroom.
Their naturally cold eyes could not hide the ups and downs of their emotions.
"Huprienne, I can't replace your real mother, and I don't understand how humans express their emotions at all times. I can only interpret it through the human logic that I understand. Please don't think that I'm a crappy guy."
Talia murmured.
"Tata, you are really stupid sometimes."
Hyperion smiled.
“…”
Talia looked at Hyperion in surprise.
"You always worry that you haven't done well enough even though you've obviously done it well. The same goes for distance. You're obviously very close to the other person, but you're still worried that the other person will hate you."
Hyperion explained.
“Is that so?”
There was a glimmer of relief in Talia's eyes, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"Yes."
Hyperion nodded in confirmation.
"If there's anything you don't understand about humans, you can ask me and I'll tell you everything I know. Although I'm not really a human, but... well, it's better than asking Lanqi."
She thought about it and realized that among Talia's friends who could reveal their identities, she was the most human.
Lanqi is completely pretending to be human.
"Then, please give me more advice in the future."
Talia responded softly.
“This is my Tata.”
Hyperion hugged Talia again.
Whenever she encounters Talia, she turns into a facehugger, but she can't help herself.
Talia didn't move and let Hyperion hold her for a long time until she let go.
"…Does he know?"
Talia finally asked.
"……Know."
Hyperion knew that the "he" Talia was referring to at this moment was Lanqi, and what Talia was referring to was the fact that she was a demon.
"When did you know?"
Talia's expression became particularly complicated.
If he had known that he was a demon when he went to the Northern Continent.
Why is he still so kind and friendly to me as always after returning to the Southern Continent? "I don't know."
Hyperion shook her head.
Lanqi always has some inexplicable sources of information, which makes her wonder whether Lanqi has the function of a prophet, but she doesn't intend to explore it any further, she believes in Lanqi.
"Do you think I should tell him who I am?"
Talia seemed to be asking for Hyperion's opinion.
She looked undecided and a little uneasy.
Although Lanqi may already know everything, he may be pretending to be stupid. As long as she doesn't reveal the truth, he can keep pretending.
However, before Hyperion could answer.
There was a knock on the bedroom door.
"Come in."
Talia and Hyperion looked at each other and answered instead.
Next.
Lanqi walked in pushing a three-layer food cart.
"Tata, lunch is here."
The top layer of the dining car was covered with white napkins, crystal glass wine glasses and neatly arranged silver tableware, with a bottle of fresh bouquet of flowers in the center.
Then Lanci began to pull out appetizers from the warming dining cart, small pieces of delicate foie gras garnished with subtle herbs and edible flower petals.
Soon, he professionally gestured to Hyperion to switch seats with him, sat on a chair closer to the bedside, and began to feed Talia.
“…”
Talia closed her mouth and just stared at the food Lanqi handed over and his face in confusion.
Although her right hand was still bandaged, she had no feeling for the time being.
But she never imagined that one day she would be fed by a man.
"Thank you for protecting the Wilford family."
Lanqi smiled sincerely and said that this was his way of repaying her in a small way.
When the Son of Destruction attacked that day, Talia did her best to protect the Wilford family and evacuate them. Because of protecting others, she suffered a lot of serious injuries at the beginning of the battle that could have been avoided.
Now everyone in the Wilford family treats Tata as a real family member.
"I will do what I promised you."
Talia shook her head, thinking that this was just a matter of course, or maybe she was just fulfilling the contract.
"So let the Wilford family take care of you during these days of your recovery."
Lanqi continued, still insisting on feeding her the meal.
“…”
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Talia was silent for a long time.
"I'm Talia, a demon. Tata is my alias. Are you still willing to continue to get along with me?"
She knew that Hyperion would not reject her, but she didn't know whether Lanqi's attitude of having no barriers towards her was just an act or he was genuinely not afraid of her.
"Of course I am willing. I still want to find you to continue learning the knowledge of demon card making."
Lanqi stared at her without much surprise and nodded.
"I am an eighth-rank demon. Aren't you afraid of me?"
Talia looked at her hands, not at him.
Since I have been pretending to be a human and living with him for so long, it is normal for him to be wary and fearful.
“…No.”
Lanqi pursed his lips and shook his head.
"?"
Talia frowned immediately.
Just now, Lanqi seemed to be mocking her?
Originally, she thought it would be difficult to figure out what Lanqi really thought of her, but now she was sure that this guy really didn't care about her race, and that familiar smell came back inexplicably! "So Tata, don't worry, no matter what race you are, or what you are called, the time we spent together was real, and now, we are getting along well, aren't we?"
Lanqi picked up the plate he had put down and asked.
“…”
Talia didn't reply.
But he opened his mouth slightly and accepted the food handed to him by Lanqi.
"To be honest, at first I didn't realize that you and Hyperion were related. How did you recognize Hyperion?"
Ranchi said as he fed Tata.
The only thing that confused him was that, in his opinion, Talia and Hyperion had nothing in common.
"Her half-demon form bears some resemblance to Ifatia. When I determined that she possessed the characteristics of a demon royal family, I knew it basically."
Talia looked at Hyperion and replied.
What she happened to see on the open-air giant screen of Ikerite Academy was Ranch and Hyperion challenging the shadow world of Purgatory Corridor Academy. In that shadow world, Hyperion directly turned into her demon form. Later, she was commissioned by Ranch to follow Hyperion for a period of time to protect her in disguise.
Later, Lanqi brought Hyperion to her home and further confirmed the Duchess's information during the conversation with Hyperion.
"Wait, then you and your sister don't look alike."
Lanqi found the highlight.
He had heard that the second princess Ifatia was extremely talented and had abilities that made other great demons fear her. She was young and her unique charm as a woman could even attract the Duke Migaia, a rare all-rounder in the Kingdom of Hutton. Not surprisingly, Duchess Ifatia had a small appetite just like Hyperion.
“…”
"In the past, officials in the demon world also raised similar doubts, but without exception, they were all executed by the Demon King. Therefore, the living demons either believe that we are sisters, or they don't believe it and dare not say it out loud."
Talia sensed Lanci's meaningless silence, her expression began to turn cold, and her tone sounded as if she wanted to eat his hand with the fork.
She didn't understand why, this guy's simple sentence, with its slightly exaggerated tone, seemed to hide thousands of words!
"I believe it. I believe it."
Lanqi quickly waved his hand and shook his head.
I was originally planning to ask Pranay, but now I think it’s better not to gossip about other people’s family affairs.
Often, Planai knows most of the secrets of the demon world. The difference between Planai and Antanas is that Antanas will actively tell everything he knows, while Planai may pretend not to know many of the secrets he knows. He knows how to live longer.
But Pranay probably doesn't know any particularly explosive gossip from the demon world, otherwise if he accidentally reveals all the secrets hidden in his heart one day, I'm afraid Pranay himself will explode. - Thank you dads for your monthly tickets! Muah (shock)!
