I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

Li Yue sensed a familiar aura, resisting the urge to turn around, and began to think about what went wrong and why he had attracted the head chef of the Demon Kitchen...

Back then, Li Yue ran fast enough in the Maze Corridor and didn't know what happened to the two skeletons he left behind; but at this moment, sensing the residual bone matter in the head chef's body, he instantly understood the whole story.

Did this guy eat the Bone of Self-Healing like the Mini-Minnie?

Did he think it tasted good and then followed the scent to find him?

Li Yue's guess was pretty close, and his mind raced, searching for a way to break the situation—fortunately, the Fly Demon said that fighting was not allowed in the audience, otherwise, would this pig just eat him directly?

This book is first published on the entire network by 𝕥 𝕨 𝕜 𝕒 𝕟 . 𝕔 𝕠 𝕞

Wait, does this rule apply to high-ranking demons like the head chef? Li Yue seriously doubted it.

Fortunately, he had the Demon Illustrated Handbook, and fortunately, he had included Piggy in the classroom—Piggy also had a completely pig body, belonging to the same species as the head chef, greatly speeding up Li Yue's "analysis" of the head chef.

After a moment of silence, Li Yue completed the analysis, first looking at the state of the Demon Head Chef, and then listening to his inner thoughts.

【Current object... Status: Hungry/Excited】

【That's the taste... the taste of new life... a beautiful taste... excellent ingredients...】

“Gosh... the Demon Head Chef... actually condescended to come to the lower audience to watch the Slaughter Cup?” Li Yue began to stall, hoping to obtain more information from the head chef's thoughts, more options other than "combat."

Although Li Yue knew that the Demon Chef's weakness was in his stomach, the Bone Sword was currently inside "Rambo", waiting to bare its fangs at "Octopus Shapeshifter" Corey; without the Thorns of Decay, Li Yue lacked sufficient means to effectively injure the head chef...

He couldn't possibly expect the head chef to die from blood loss, right?

Li Yue even suspected that the head chef's blood was the demon's soup... which could also be considered a chaotic dish.

“I smell your scent... Did you kill my two subordinates and steal the kitchen's side dishes?” the head chef said with murderous intent.

【Malice +744】

With this big pig standing behind Li Yue, the nearby weak demons didn't dare to approach at all, let alone imagine the identity of the skeleton next to the railing—daring to turn his back to the Demon Head Chef? Did he think he tasted bad?

The Demon Head Chef wasn't picky about food...

【Eat it... the competition hasn't started yet... eat it... or not? Oogie Boogie would be disgusted... Not eat it? Or eat it... The Colosseum's banquet needs the Demon Kitchen to provide meals... He wouldn't dare do anything to me...】

【But no demon wants to be caught by Oogie Boogie... It would be troublesome to eat it now...】

The head chef hesitated for a moment between eating and not eating, and finally, it seemed that his reverence for the King of the Colosseum prevailed, and his actions were somewhat hesitant.

But the Demon Chef's action prediction success rate was only 788%. Li Yue dared to bet all his wealth on Buddybooger, but he didn't dare to bet here.

Because this time it was really all his wealth.

So the next line was crucial, he had to avoid the outcome of starting a war here—judging by the malice given by the head chef, this big pig shouldn't be at the point where he had to die now.

“Your child... is doing pretty well in the Library.” Li Yue said softly.

Although he never specifically remembered the pig's appearance, Li Yue searched in his memory for a moment and still felt that this big pig behind him... had some resemblance to the little pig in the classroom... directly calling Piggy the head chef's "child."

After all, Piggy was also a demon child, and he was in closed combat training, so it wouldn't be wrong to say he was a "child," and saying his status... might interest the head chef.

“Hmm? You're talking about my son?” The big pig was stunned, and his killing intent obviously weakened.

“Yes, Piggy.” Li Yue won the bet, breathed a sigh of relief, and could now talk at length about the topic he wanted to talk about, “He was among the last to die in the Blood River simulation battle...”

Li Yue only picked "partial facts" to say, thinking that it was fortunate that Piggy was relatively well-behaved compared to Bosh or something, and had never provoked himself or Mini-Minnie, otherwise, if he was killed, this pig daddy might go berserk on the spot.

“Are you also a demon child? Or... a servant?” The information Li Yue gave exceeded the head chef's understanding—wasn't closed combat training completely closed? Why was there a skeleton outside?

“Skoririk, the Skeleton Prince, a demon child of the Skeleton race... Nice to meet you.” As Li Yue spoke, he shook his body seemingly unintentionally, revealing the magical emblem representing the identity of a “demon child”—after all, he didn't dare to say that he was the “wielder of the Bone Sword,” because that thing really wasn't with him at the moment.

“Mentor Mento... agreed to me freely entering and exiting during closed combat training.” Li Yue deliberately spoke lightly, and it was only at this moment that he turned around and looked directly at the head chef.

Sure enough, hearing Li Yue casually mention the name of the Demon King Mentor, the head chef's heart also stirred a little.

【This skeleton is Mento's beloved disciple? How did he do it... Where's my Piggy...】

“No wonder it tastes so good...” The Demon Head Chef drooled as he replied to Li Yue, “Oh, sorry, I was rude...”

The head chef wiped away the saliva, but still couldn't help but look Li Yue up and down, like a ghost staring at a plump lamb—here's the leg of lamb, here's the lamb chop...

“Your hand... is the hand of a pure-blooded demon? Your teeth are wolf teeth... Your bones...” The Demon Head Chef knew every part of Li Yue's body like the back of his hand, the only thing he didn't understand was the Bone of Self-Healing.

“These? They were all offered to me by my kind classmates...” Li Yue didn't want to delve into this topic, “Piggy is also very good, very well-behaved.”

“How is Piggy eating inside...? Did he finish all the things I brought him?” Hearing this, the pig head showed a concerned look, making Li Yue feel uncomfortable.

“Uh...” Li Yue really hadn't paid attention to this matter—after all, Piggy usually didn't like to attend classes and stayed in his room most of the time, rarely interacting with other demon children.

However, thinking that the head chef should know his son better, Li Yue pretended to be worried and told the head chef some of Piggy's real situation, expressing concern: “He only focuses on learning 'Advancement Studies,' he doesn't participate in other courses very much...”

“Hmm... That's my son... Hmm... That won't do...” The head chef's attention was successfully diverted by Li Yue, “I need to prepare more food for him...”

“After this Slaughter Cup ends, can you help me send some food in?” The head chef pleaded with Li Yue, “Piggy is timid and can't compete with you demon children, so I don't dare to arrange for the kitchen to send too good food to the Library...”

“Well... I can.” Li Yue finally wasn't so frightened—the Demon Head Chef had something to ask of him, so he wouldn't do anything to him outside... would he?

“Is it because he's not eating well that you stole my side dishes?” The head chef actually brought the topic back here again, “This matter... what do you think should be done?”

【But this bone is really delicious... Although matching it with the hand of a pure-blooded demon... will have some flavor... Eat it? Not eat it? Eat it... Eat it...】

【Malice +1444】

Li Yue couldn't understand the sudden evil thoughts that arose in the head chef, thinking that the 788% success rate of prediction... really wasn't enough...

“I have an idea.” Li Yue had a flash of inspiration, “How about this... can we...”
