I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

After a series of meticulous yet agitated discussions, Li Yue made the decision to open a "Bone Chamber" right next to the entrance of the first reading room, the one closest to the library's entrance.

This Bone Chamber would also serve as the library's reception room, henceforth responsible for receiving certain "guests"—Brain Spirit Lord Boody Boggs's reception room.

Although Li Yue possessed the authority of the library and could freely alter the terrain, the "Self-Healing Bone" was, after all, a sensory object. Being within it provided Li Yue with the greatest sense of security and allowed him to exert his will, adding some extra "arrangements"... to create immense pressure on visitors.

The Bone Chamber reception room would be transformed into a bone gate, and the six walls would be covered with bone spurs bearing the teeth of the Evergrowing Demon Wolves, reacting in the most ferocious manner to Boody Boggs's mood swings.

In terms of arrangement, although it lacked the upper-level space that Boody Boggs had imagined—with heroes, mages, Oogey Boogeys, and fish...—the real-time manipulation of the bone spurs, coupled with the mind-reading effect of the Demon Bestiary, allowed Li Yue to coordinate with Boody Boggs's mood and present the best performance.

And these performance effects could turn into real attacks at any time, inflicting maximum damage on the enemy—Li Yue himself would hide in the walls, using the earth element affinity of his octopus tentacles to provide real-time guidance during Boody Boggs's "meetings."

With some time still remaining before the Red Hour, Li Yue didn't delay and immediately began constructing the Bone Chamber reception hall, quickly immersing himself in the joy of construction.

The Mini-Minnies, passing by, saw the lively scene next to the first reading room and gathered at the entrance to observe and offer advice; Lulu and Fei Fei also took the opportunity to educate their compatriots, stating that the renovation project should be this smooth to be worthy of praise, and then ran over to wipe Li Yue's sweat.

Of course, what was flowing down Li Yue's head wasn't sweat, but the mucus from his tentacles.

The Bone Chamber reception hall was quickly completed, and the Mini-Minnies applauded together; Eggshell, with Shadow's help, continuously jumped, causing the bone spurs to break and heal, as if stepping on a shiatsu board.

As for Boody Boggs... he just sat blankly, clad in a "Slaughtering Sea Butterfly," enthroned on the bone throne that Li Yue had crafted for him, like a precious shellfish sleeping in the center of the Bone Chamber.

Abandoning the psychological construction of Boody Boggs, Li Yue decided to directly manipulate Boody Boggs to "negotiate" with Damon Benben, just as he had done with "Octopus Shapeshifter" Corey, so as not to restrict the Demon Scribe's future actions within the library and to promote the terror of the Brain Spirit Lord to the outside world.

"You guys go back to the upper levels first, don't come out tonight until I tell you to," Li Yue shooed away the Mini-Minnies who were watching the excitement, and the middle and lower levels of the library quickly returned to calm, leaving only the three Demon Princes and Boody Boggs.

Changing back into "Unruly Bony Trendsetter," Li Yue sealed the bone door as if locking it, and then leaned against the door to take a nap, ensuring his energy for tonight's "Hero Studies"; Eggshell and Shadow had nothing to do, so they went to the Gate of Chaos first to wait for the Hero Studies graduation class in the evening.

As the Red Hour approached, Nete Mayr carried Damon Benben into the library—Damon Benben looked exhausted, even his chain mail hung limply on the ground, covered in rust.

"Hmm? So fast, you've already opened up a room?" Although completely exhausted, Damon Benben hadn't lost consciousness, "The Brain Spirit Lord is really thoughtful... No wonder he's the authority holder of the library."

"It's settled, tomorrow at the Green Hour, Boody Boggs will meet you here to discuss how he will win," Li Yue said casually.

"Oh..." Damon Benben responded and walked with Li Yue towards the Gate of Chaos, "It went pretty smoothly... So, what do you think... what conditions will he propose?"

"I'm also very curious," Li Yue certainly couldn't reveal that Boody Boggs was his subordinate, "But he doesn't allow me to be present, and I... don't need to offend him because of that..."

Li Yue certainly couldn't be present because he had to hide in the walls to manipulate the stage design, which also conveniently paved the way for Damon Benben to understand the "difficult" nature of the Brain Spirit Lord.

"How about it? Do you want me to invite you? Anyway, I'll take Nete Mayr," Damon Benben's speech finally became smoother.

"That's right~" Nete Mayr was very interested in Boody Boggs.

"I refuse, I don't plan to stay within Boody Boggs's range of will for too long, especially... in this library," Li Yue glanced faintly at the empty corridor, "He is the king here."

"Brain Spirit Lord..." Damon Benben had a full understanding of "authority" and of course knew how powerful the owner of the library was here.

But Damon Benben never imagined that in such a place, the Brain Spirit Lord was backstabbed by another Brain Spirit and became a servant.

"Actually, I'm very curious, how did you get in touch with Boody Boggs..." Damon Benben had long regarded Scourge Rake differently, so he casually asked, "How did you do it?"

"No, you don't want to know," Li Yue slightly raised his head, looking towards the end of the Bloody Corridor, as if recalling the bloody storm in the depths of his memory.

[Brain Spirit Lord... He... Bosch's death...]

Damon Benben's mind wandered, and Li Yue vaguely read a hint of inner thoughts from the Demon Scribe, feeling that the rendering was almost done, it was time to talk about business.

"In your current state, can you still help me with tonight's 'Hero Studies'?" With the meeting arranged, Li Yue took a fancy to Isaac's idea and also said it to Nete Mayr on the side.

"Of course, I have no desires now, so I can fully help you..." Damon Benben's logic was strange.

Hmm? Is this tentatively considered... the Demon Scribe's sage mode? Li Yue mused.

This conversation fell into Nete Mayr's ears, causing her to let her imagination run wild—even Damon Benben was conquered by this skeleton? Willing to help him?

What to do... I really want to possess him...

"Is there this item in your deal?" Nete Mayr spoke excessively, breathing like orchids at Li Yue, "Then if Mayr also helps... will you satisfy Mayr?"

"I don't need your help," Li Yue refused decisively—Boody Boggs had just said that Nightmare Succubi were the natural enemies of Brain Spirits, and Li Yue naturally couldn't bear it.

Nete Mayr looked at Li Yue's crystal-clear bones and swaying tentacles, becoming more and more envious: "Hmph! Then I will go against you! I will take the hero's spoils!"

Li Yue didn't expect to arouse Nete Mayr's fighting spirit, so he spread his hands and said, "Whatever."

[Really annoying... Makes people so itchy... I hate your bones...]

The Nightmare Succubus's action prediction success rate was about one-third, and Li Yue could hear a lot.

But Nete Mayr thought about it, but didn't contribute a bit of malice, making Li Yue very confused—is it hate or itch in the end?

As the Red Hour approached, Li Yue, Damon Benben, and Nete Mayr stepped into the Gate of Chaos, instantly feeling the enthusiasm of the Demon Princes, and also discovering that tonight's lesson... might not be as simple as expected.

Red Coat was covered in several magic circles on his arms and even his whole body... magic and illusionary light flowed together, looking like he was going to have a melee fight with full armor; the Demon Merchant Sell Sell was full of jewelry, not only wearing all kinds of accessories, but even hanging a huge shield around his neck, which he could tell was no ordinary object.

Piggy was sharpening his knives, while constantly stuffing desserts into his mouth, including Chaos Cuisine made from Li Yue's "Self-Healing Bone," which was obviously not what he said, that he had "no interest in fighting."

Even more exaggerated were Shadow and Eggshell—these two Demon Princes who had already merged into one... constantly used shadows as lines to swing Eggshell into the shape of a hexagram in the air, both as a warm-up and as if playing a yo-yo.

"Friend! Let's have a fair and square showdown!" Eggshell pointed at Li Yue's nose with particles and roared.

The Demon Princes... are they treating this "Hero Studies" as a competition?

Li Yue perked up.
