Talia in the bedroom immediately glanced at Lanqi who was sleeping at the table.
She didn't know whether Lanqi did it on purpose or unintentionally.
But she felt that no matter what, it was damnable enough that Lanqi would think that way.
And, Lanqi answered like this.
Just like those humans, they are full of prejudice against the demons and regard them as monsters.
The sound and image on the screen continue——
"If you met a demon in the real world, would it be the same as before?"
Hyperion still felt a little nervous as she asked Lanqi another question.
Lanqi looked at her without saying a word, and seemed to be speechless for a long time.
Finally, he asked back:
"Do you think I'm an old man who ate arsenic because I think my life is too long?"
Talia took in Lanqi's reaction on the screen.
I just think he's becoming more and more annoying.
Soon, Lanqi gave Hyperion another earnest advice:
"Let's not talk about whether it's dangerous to provoke the demons. There might be some good guys among the demons. Hyperion, don't discriminate against the demons."
Hearing this, Talia seemed to be stunned.
Until, a long time passed.
She then looked at the sleeping human boy again.
Just looking at him like that, no one knew what she was thinking deep in her golden pupils.
"..."
A cool breeze blew in from the half-open window, gently caressing Lanqi's body.
As if sensing a gaze, Lanqi felt a slight chill and opened his eyes unconsciously.
What caught his attention was not the warm wooden furniture in the dim room, but the pair of golden eyes and the beautiful face not far away.
The cold and noble pupils could not hide a bit of confusion, emotion, and bewilderment.
It's like wanting to keep someone at a distance but also wanting to explore a little bit more.
Lanqi raised his hand and touched his face.
He thought that something was stuck on his face while he was sleeping, which was why Talia was staring at him like that.
"Uh... Tata? Sorry I fell asleep. What time is it now?"
Lanci asked tentatively, not sure if his lethargy would make Talia angry.
"Just after twelve."
Talia glanced at the clock and answered him.
Lanqi breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that Talia was not angry.
If she is angry, she will definitely retort to herself instead of answering herself.
"Ah, you are starting to watch the movie world content now."
He quickly noticed the only source of light in the bedroom.
"..."
Talia turned her eyes to the screen again and remained silent until a moment later.
"What do you think of the Duke who challenged the Shadow World with you?"
“He’s a very nice person.”
Lanqi answered decisively. He knew that Talia wanted to find out the news about her fellow tribesmen.
Lanci had originally planned to introduce Hyperion to Talia after the company was established.
Talia, an old demon who is far stronger than Hyperion, should be able to see Hyperion's half-demon identity at a glance, but Hyperion has almost no way of seeing through Talia's exquisite disguise.
At the moment Lanqi was thinking.
"Don't bully her. The demons are very murderous. If you anger her, I may not be able to protect you in time."
Talia just said this calmly.
It seemed that she was just fulfilling her duty to protect Lanci in her words, and she did not show Lanci the slightest intention of defending Hyperion.
"Who do you think I am? I'm not a school bully. I'm a good student with excellent character and academic performance!"
Lanqi held his head and complained in disbelief.
He would never bully an honest person like Hyperion.
Moreover, Hyperion has such a gentle personality, completely different from Talia, the old woman with a bad temper and murderous intention!
"……Feel sorry."
Talia is convinced that Lanci is telling the truth.
When she was watching on the open-air giant screen square of Ikerit College, she could clearly feel that the students did not like the duke's daughter who had demon blood.
But throughout the entire film world, Lanqi sincerely regarded Hyperion as a trustworthy companion.
Even after knowing Hyperion's identity, this sincerity did not waver.
"Hey, Tata, what did you just say?"
Lanqi immediately opened his eyes, put his hands beside his ears and turned his head, as if he suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.
"Nothing said."
Talia felt that this guy was a bit annoying again.
And he seemed to be very active mentally just now!
"Don't worry, Tata. I won't allow discrimination against kind students to happen in the academy!"
Lanci said to Talia with a grin.
While she was silent, Lanqi happily made a scissors gesture:
"My purpose is to love all living beings equally!"
"..."
Thalia didn't reply.
She was sure that this guy's "love" was a little scary, especially towards those who provoked him.
But correspondingly, if it is a friendly creature, even if it is a demon, he will treat it sincerely.
After Talia had traveled through the human kingdom for decades, she was convinced that there would be no humans who could treat the demons without prejudice.
——Until she witnessed Lanci's attitude towards Hyperion.
She saw the first one.
Right before her eyes.
No one spoke in the dim room, and this lasted for a while.
There was only the sound of a light breeze blowing through the curtains in the silent night of the royal capital.
"are you hungry?"
Thalia asked.
"So hungry."
Lanqi touched his stomach and felt that after the sleepiness he had just woken up had dissipated, the feeling of hunger came back completely.
"Let's go have dinner. I'll pay for today."
Talia's tone was emotionless as she stepped off the bed and began to walk on the soft carpet.
Human teachers are said to reward students when they behave well, so it should be okay to reward him in order to better imitate humans.
This is also to make him more loyal to himself.
"Eh? Tata, are you going to treat me to a meal?"
Lanqi pointed at himself in surprise, his expression a little unbelievable.
"If you ask again, it's gone."
Talia glanced at him and walked out of the room without looking back.
Thanks to Brother Pseudodian for the Silver Alliance. I will try to update more in the next few days!
Chapter 94 Lanqi is a truly good student
The morning light of the royal capital shone obliquely, sprinkling on the magnificent campus of Ikerit College.
Today is another day full of hope.
On the first-floor balcony garden of the Sage Academy dormitory building, verdant vines grow along the wooden railings, their leaves glowing with vibrant green, and the railings are filled with elegant potted plants.
The air was filled with the fragrance of flowers and fresh soil. A group of birds chirped on the wooden open-air balcony, occasionally jumping onto the stone bricks nearby and singing energetically, as if celebrating the beginning of a new day.
The two-week vacation passed in a flash.
Today, Lanqi is finally going to the Sage Academy’s school building to resume normal classes.
Even getting up in the morning was a bit difficult.
During these two weeks, Lanqi mainly wandered between his dormitory and Talia's house.
Basically, half of the morning was spent on intensive card-making training under Talia's supervision.
When he stayed at Talia's house, his card explosion rate was significantly lower.
