Sure enough, after enjoying a meal prepared by the Demon Queen, Lord Demon King was in an excellent mood! He strode back into the main hall with a light, brisk step, his face beaming with a radiant smile. This sudden transformation caught everyone in the hall by surprise, but no one dared to ask what had happened. They could only exchange bewildered glances, secretly speculating as to why Lord Demon King had suddenly become so cheerful.
Xiao Maoqiu followed closely behind the Demon King, appearing equally excited. It hopped and skipped as it trailed the Demon King into the hall, occasionally letting out joyful chirps. At this moment, Xiao Maoqiu seemed to have forgotten the fear of having been swatted away earlier, its mood lifting in sync with the Demon King’s.
Once Lord Demon King returned to his seat, he began to discuss official business with the assembly. His tone was no longer as severe as usual; instead, it was filled with patience and gentleness. Upon seeing this, the ministers breathed a collective sigh of relief, thinking that today's meeting would likely proceed much more smoothly. After all, when Lord Demon King was in a good mood, he was far more receptive to suggestions and opinions.
