The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Chapter 955 - 296: Damn Devs Update Way Too Fast!

"We jumped on the ship and escaped... Later, I heard that once someone visits that haunted port, they can never leave, forever trapped in the eternal fog..."

The only sound left in the silent night was the crackling of the bonfire.

Some faint-hearted fellows were already trembling all over, their hands and feet icy cold.

At this moment, a slightly clever sailor suddenly thought of something and said shakily, "Then how did you get out?"

The old sailor was silent for a while, then suddenly spoke in a ghostly tone.

"How do you know I came out?"

A deathly silence enveloped the scene.

Seemingly sensing the stiffness of the atmosphere and the hostile looks in everyone's eyes, the old sailor suddenly burst into laughter, hastily ending the unfunny joke.

"I'm just kidding! Don't take it seriously!"

Even though the old sailor said it was a joke, everyone on site was still scared stiff, looking at each other as if seeing ghosts.

Kedson finally couldn't stand it anymore, got up and scolded irritably, "Stop talking nonsense, go to sleep! If anyone dares to tell ghost stories again, I'll send them to the Lizardman's territory to scout tomorrow!"

Everyone scattered in a hurry, rolling off to get some sleep.

After driving the sailors away, Kedson returned to sit by the bonfire, looking at the crackling flames, but his heart remained unsettled for a long time.

He didn't believe in ghost stories, of course.

But this port... it's indeed too clean.

So clean that it seems no one has ever lived here.

Reflecting on the various things that happened after he met the Baron of Kumu Port, Kedson couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart.

How could anyone live in such a ghastly place?

And disappear as soon as night falls.

Moreover—

Why is that guy so averse to living with them?

At this moment, he suddenly felt a pair of eyes watching him.

He turned around suddenly, only to find the forest behind him was empty, under the pitch-dark night sky, there were only the rustling sounds of insects.

"...An illusion?"

He murmured, stood up stiffly, and walked towards the direction of the tent, comforting himself not to overthink while praying devoutly.

Saint Sis above...

If you can truly hear my prayer, please don't let your loyal follower be trapped in this shadow-laden port.

At this moment, Kedson didn't notice that there was indeed a pair of eyes watching them from the forest—not just a pair.

"...Good guy, new NPC?"

"Judging by the flag, it's the Imperial?"

"Awesome! The expansion pack is going to be updated again."

"It hasn't even been two months, has it? Has it?"

"The damn planners are updating too fast!"

...

In Hell, Demon City, at the Padric family estate.

A carriage drawn by flying horses slowly drove through the vine-covered iron gate and along the obsidian-paved driveway to the main estate building.

Not long after three people got off the carriage, the sound of high heels clattering came from the steps.

Luo Yan looked up, only to see Lady Serena Padric standing on the steps, warmly welcoming them with a smile.

As always, Lady Serena was as beautiful as ever, her dignified and elegant but not lacking in glamorous features resembling an ever-unchanging marble statue. Her fluffy and smooth pink long hair draped over her slender waist, like a cloud of roses behind her.

Despite being long married and a mother, her every gesture exuded a passionate and unrestrained charm that was hard to forget at first sight.

"Ah, my lovely little Mia is finally back—! You've worked hard!"

She lifted her skirt, quickly descended the steps, hugged her embarrassed daughter, giving a light peck on her forehead, then looked smilingly at Luo Yan beside her.

"Long time no see, Mr. Luo Yan, thank you for taking care of my daughter."

"Not at all, rather I've always been cared for by your daughter and caused her a lot of trouble," Luo Yan nodded politely, then said amicably, "I hope it's not an intrusion to visit your home today."

Mia's cheeks flushed slightly, casting a sidelong glance at this guy who speaks barefaced lies, yet feeling delighted in her heart.

Egger watched Luo Yan interact with Lady Serena with admiration on his face, his admiration even more apparent.

As expected of Senior Luo Yan—the man who survived in the Demon King Academy, a place teeming with demons!

Even when facing the fearsome Lady Serena, he can remain calm and unflinching!

Indeed—

He still has much to learn!

His father had always spoken ill of Lady Serena, so he was deeply afraid of the Padric family since he was a child.

After entering Demon King Academy, he was unfortunately placed in the same class as Mia, further deepening his stereotype of the never-met Lady Serena.

If the young Miss Padric is so frightening, wouldn't the elder one be a cannibal?

This is too terrifying!

As Lady Serena looked at the polite Luo Yan, her smile became even brighter, the more she looked, the more she appreciated.

It was a trait inherited by the Padric Family—

She could instantly see the extraordinary qualities in him and skills absent in other demons.

"Not at all, I'd rather hope you visit often. When you're not around, Mia talks about you every day."

"Mom!" Mia exclaimed anxiously, hurriedly interrupting Lady Serena from continuing to reveal her embarrassing stories, then hastily turned to Luo Yan and said.

"Don't, don't misunderstand, it's just... Because you often trouble me, so occasionally when tired, I might complain a little, it's, it's nothing more... Of course, it doesn't mean I dislike you."
