I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

《The 23rd Demon King's Life-Stealing Art》

The remaining pages were presented in a state of "blurriness." Li Yue could barely sense this one, but it was enough to shock him—Boudiboge was studying the spells of the previous Demon King?

Was that the one… who had carved a life-stealing rune into the table during the closed-door combat training?

Boudiboge's timid and cowardly nature… could explain his motive for trying to understand the previous Demon King's spells, but this brought up a new question—who wrote this book?

Why write a book solely dedicated to studying the previous Demon King? Was it to target the Demon King? Or to learn how to become one?

Unfortunately, with Li Yue's mental abilities, he couldn't clearly see the specific content on the remaining pages at this time. He couldn't even discern the name of the 23rd Demon King of Demon King City, or even the author's name. He could only get the title of the book. Google Search Reading

The remaining pages were also blurry. Li Yue's mind couldn't pierce the "membrane" surrounding them, let alone understand their contents—if he used a little force, he could sense the complex and evil thoughts emanating from the pages, which were very dangerous.

That's enough.

Li Yue felt that the current content was good enough. At least it could help him integrate the "Advancement Studies" taught by Mentuo, further deepen his understanding of Brain Spirits, and even find simpler ways to apply the "Brain Spirit Pituitary Gland"; coupled with books related to soul contracts, it could also help him effectively avoid some pitfalls, so as not to unknowingly sign contracts with some strange beings.

When his magic power was raised to the next stage, or when he turned the books in the lower levels into sensory objects, or even became the Lord of Authority of the Library… he should be able to understand them?

Li Yue still had a lot of knowledge to digest, so he wasn't in a hurry.

"Is that it?" Dandan had originally expected some fierce battles, or even more shocking magic—he didn't expect that the altar, cloak, and bookshelves were all just standing there quietly, no different from soil and stone.

Yingying didn't express any opinion, for fear that Li Yue would say "Soon" again, and then instantly master the authority of the library and obtain all the knowledge.

"Like this for now." Li Yue replied to Dandan, "It's time to 'bathe' you…"

As he spoke, Li Yue tugged at Dandan and took the lead in exiting the stone chamber—this place had entered a stable state. Whether it was the exploration of authority, the "demon relics" inside the cloak, or the knowledge on the remaining pages… all of them would take a lot of time.

Before that, he needed to go back to the lower levels, report the victory to the MiniMinis, make arrangements for them, and adjust his state at the same time.

After a series of hard battles, Li Yue couldn't remember how long he hadn't truly rested. Right now, he was just forcibly tightening that string. After confirming that there was no imminent danger, he was already staggering.

Dandan felt quite bored, while Yingying's curiosity hadn't been satisfied. She decided that she would come over with Li Yue next red hour—she would come over with Li Yue often in the future.

The three demons broke a few stone walls and stumbled on the way to the middle level. Dandan and Yingying asked questions together.

"Where are we going to bathe?" "Where are we going now? Are we going to class?"

Li Yue's right hand rested on Dandan's body, constantly releasing magma, and slowly said, "We're not going, we're skipping class all the way. We're going to taste this hard-won victory…"

"And share this joy… with all the family members."

"Skip class?" "Family members?"

Dandan and Yingying each had their own questions. Li Yue couldn't help but imagine… when these two demons met the MiniMinis, wouldn't they吵死 him?

With Boudiboge's death, the atmosphere of the entire library seemed to have calmed down, but in some places beyond Li Yue's perception, in places where some higher-level beings existed, a little subtle change occurred.

In the spacious and even somewhat empty top floor of Demon King City, the throne was empty; in the city lord's bedroom, layers of curtains hung down, representing that the current city lord was sleeping, and no living being was allowed to disturb him.

Perhaps he was still recovering from his injuries, or perhaps he was accumulating energy for the next Slaughter Cup final—the Demon King with silver hair and narrow eyes was now lying peacefully on the dark red velvet quilt, hoping that the demons in the city could be more sluggish, with fewer absurd and chaotic behaviors… such as the riots in the audience, and the probing of subordinates challenging superiors.

Give himself some more time, some time to recover his state.

Then… find the way to break the current predicament.

Below the throne, the candlestick symbolizing the authority of the library suddenly tilted slightly, and the candlelight vaguely changed its angle.

No one knew whether the Demon King would notice this little change if he woke up; no one knew whether more demons would pour into the library and cause more chaotic disorder if this candlestick failed to be straightened before the next full moon.

What was known was that the Demon Wolf King Fentius… was really impatient to come to the library to find the skeleton that killed his son, even at the cost of participating in the Slaughter Cup final on the night of the full moon.

It was just that Fentius hadn't decided whether to be in the audience or to personally take the field.

The candlelight and moonlight intertwined beside the throne. When the candlelight symbolizing the library tilted, the other candlelights immediately became more arrogant, their light crushing and covering each other.

And that candlelight was still continuing to weaken.

…

In the middle level of the library, a fire was raging, but this time it was no longer the flames of the Heart of Purgatory erupting, but a long line of cheerful torches, constantly shuttling back and forth between the broken doorways, and laughter lit up every corner of the library, even the most deformed and darkest焦坑 were not spared.

Of course, those holding the torches were all MiniMinis. Some of them were still covered in wounds, and some were drooling because of the aftereffects of nightmares, but none of this could stop the sincere smiles reflected on their faces.

Of course, celebration required a banquet.

Inside the huge rock cave of the Eleventh Library, a simple but sincere banquet was being held.

This banquet was so sincere that Li Yue even contributed his own bones and hands.

Most of the malice contributed by Boudiboge before his death was exchanged by Li Yue for self-healing bones and a molten lava right hand, which were eaten together with hard meat blocks to give the MiniMinis, who had been worried for a long time, extra meals; and he himself had saved a few right hands to "bathe" Dandan, soaking this otherworld demon comfortably until he moaned.

It sounded terrifying, but in fact, the "self-healing bones" had a self-healing function, and the chewiness was also good. The MiniMinis not only didn't have to work hard to eat them, but they could even wait for them to "self-heal" before continuing to gnaw on them. Whether as a main meal or a side snack, they were very good.

Xiao Mini was still a little embarrassed to eat at first, but Li Yue personally fed her one, and she chewed it up with big mouthfuls, even snatching Mini's to gnaw on together, which made Li Yue suspect that if he fed them like this, the MiniMinis might one day mutate.

Brain Spirits, Shadow Demons, Dandan, MiniMinis… Li Yue sensed these strangely shaped demons around him, and felt that although the scene was very warm, there was always a strange sense of weirdness.

Other people's teams are all warriors, guards, archers… how come when it gets to me, it's a silver egg who loves to take baths, a little sweet potato with outstretched arms, and a shadow who doesn't know why he doesn't dare to show his face?

"Eat, eat, but we have to talk about serious things next…" Li Yue wanted to tell the MiniMinis a few words during the banquet.

Although he hadn't figured out how to deal with the slave scholars and Brain Spirits, Li Yue had expectations for the MiniMinis.

But firstly, the sound of the banquet was too noisy, and secondly, he was too tired—Li Yue fell into a deep sleep in this noisy and cheerful atmosphere, and felt a sense of solidity that he had never had since crossing over.

Xiao Mini was originally eating happily, but when she saw her brother fall asleep, she consciously drew her bone sword and stood guard, not allowing anyone to approach.
