I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

“Got it, got it.” Li Yue said, tossing another thigh bone to the head chef.

The head chef chewed it, a satisfied smile spreading across his face: “How much? I want as much as you have.”

Li Yue was stunned—he had only thought about the transaction, but hadn't considered the specific quantity, or the value of this transaction?

Thinking about it, Li Yue suddenly regretted tossing thigh bones around like snacks, but seeing the head chef almost wagging his tail, he felt it was worth it.

“How much… depends on my mood.” Li Yue now had the tone of a demon down, “What ingredients… oh no, side dishes do you have?”

Letting the head chef know that he considered the demon kitchen's side dishes as ingredients would seem shabby.

“Only side dishes, no chef, are you sure you can complete the cooking?” The head chef was thinking entirely from a culinary perspective, “Some side dishes require very good preservation methods, and some have a certain degree of danger… oh, but it doesn't matter, you probably won't be killed by the side dishes, but improper storage can still be troublesome…”

Li Yue thought to himself that it was no wonder demon chefs were all thick-skinned and tough; put the side dishes together, and there was danger?

“Do you want me to send another subordinate to you? Of course, it'll cost bones to appease him.” The head chef was very serious about cooking, “He can help you make dishes, and he can also help you properly preserve the side dishes.”

“No need, thank you.” Firstly, Li Yue didn't plan to buy in large quantities, and secondly, he had confidence in the Minimi's own cooking abilities—the books in the library contained many records of the characteristics of various ingredients, and corresponding methods of use, so there was no problem of not being able to properly store them.

As for cooking… if they really wanted to eat, they could let some of the Minimis who were interested in cooking learn human or demon cooking methods, which should be enough to meet daily needs.

More importantly… it was the water source.

“I need more clean water.” Li Yue said to the head chef, “A lot.”

In the past, the demon kitchen's food cart would send a water element magic stone of poor quality each time a meal was delivered; as long as the magic stone was embedded in the pipes of the sixth library, it would produce enough water for the slave scholars to use daily.

Now the Minimis were addicted to bathing and drinking bathwater, the slave scholars were complaining, not even getting enough water to drink, let alone use it, and the whole team was stinky.

“Oh… no problem, just change to a higher purity one.” Changing a magic stone was a small matter to the head chef, but he really wanted to recommend a demon chef, “Really don't want one? A demon chef? My son can help.”

The head chef was actually recommending his demon son, Pigo.

Li Yue always felt that the head chef had other plans, and only after opening the Demon Illustrated Handbook did he understand the big pig's inner thoughts.

【My son… is too lazy… he needs to make more dishes… to hone his skills… to approach ultimate cuisine…】

So it was also a kind of training.

“We can discuss it later, depending on how smoothly our transactions go.” Li Yue was still unsure about opening the “chef” profession to outsiders—especially since the Minimis at home were so capable, and especially since the chef department was so critical, how could it be handed over to an outsider demon son?

Besides, there was already an Egghead at home who ate everything, where would there be enough to share with another Pigo who ate and cooked?

“Okay…” The head chef scratched his back regretfully, “Then please tell my son, sleep less, eat more, do more… don't just make desserts in his magic cocoon…”

Li Yue nodded, pitying the hearts of parents all over the world, and then saw the head chef staring at him, drooling.

Li Yue was afraid that he would be swallowed alive by the head chef if he stayed any longer, and hurriedly agreed with him on the transaction volume and method—for the time being, one food cart of “Self-Healing Bones” would be exchanged for high-purity water element magic stones, plus the side dishes that the demon kitchen couldn't use up that day.

As for the types of “side dishes,” Li Yue would insert paper slips into the daily food cart, specifying the priority for the next day, to be prepared by the demon kitchen; the first few times… of course, they would all focus on the three types of demon bat wings, Syntis snails, and tiger-striped gecko feces.

After all, there were still 59 brain spirits' soul contracts to sign, which was Li Yue's biggest need recently.

Having finalized the transaction matters, Li Yue left the colosseum, which was still in a frenzy of celebration, and hurried home.

As Li Yue stepped into the entrance of the library, a burly skeleton suddenly walked out from the corner behind him—the skeleton had a resolute outline, carrying a giant cross sword, and stood in the corner corridor, seemingly thinking about something.

His skeleton was covered with scars, many old injuries, and even a crack that broke the facial bone, leading directly to his right eye; his giant cross sword was also rusty, with gaps everywhere, and a piece was missing from the tip of the sword, leaving a gap.

The burly skeleton rested his giant sword on the ground, pondered for a moment, and ultimately did not enter the library with Li Yue, but waited there, not knowing what he was waiting for.

At the same time, the Colosseum King Oogie Boogie… suddenly received two letters.

One was from the Forbidden Forest, from the “Magic Wolf King” Fentus; the other was from the laboratory, with the magical emblem of the Fallen Magician Association “Myriad Flower” printed on it.

Hundreds of flies crawled out of the bag on Oogie Boogie's brow, twisting together, unable to understand why these two forces would send him letters at this time.

One was delivered by a messenger bird from the Forbidden Forest, and the other suddenly ejected from a torch, floating quietly in front of Oogie Boogie.

Oogie Boogie hesitated for a moment, and finally opened Fentus's letter first. As he read, his eyebrows relaxed, and the bag trembled wildly, seeming very happy.

“Hmm… so the Skeleton Prince is stirring up trouble in the library? Budibug has joined forces with Skollric? And killed the Magic Wolf King's son? This is really great…” Oogie Boogie's mouth kept growing, “No wonder he today… is completely different from before…”

“Now, there's an opponent for the Killing Cup final, this is really great…” Oogie Boogie laughed so hard he leaned back and forth, “Just right, if I tell old Fen the news that the Jackal family is about to be wiped out in the fourth game, he should be very happy, right? Would he be happy enough to send more troops to the colosseum?”

“Hmm… it's always a good opportunity, a good opportunity to grow stronger.” Oogie Boogie satisfiedly put away Fentus's letter and opened the second one from “Myriad Flower.”

His relaxed brows furrowed again, and Oogie Boogie seemed unable to understand the request in the letter.

“Want to book a room to watch the final? It's possible… but why?” Oogie Boogie couldn't let go of his doubts, “What are those old magicians thinking… I'll never understand… aren't they only curious about the limits of magic? Why suddenly come to watch the Killing Cup?”

“Could it be that Budibug… has some new magic secrets? Or has Budibug plus Skollric aroused the interest of those old things?”

“Forget it, it's possible…” Oogie Boogie really couldn't think of any reason to refuse “Myriad Flower,” “But the premise is… they must pay me enough benefits.”

“Hehe… what should I ask for this time… magic scrolls? Demon relics? I heard that the laboratory has a few demon relics that are very magical, and can even open a passage to the Throne Room?” Oogie Boogie stuffed the letter into his bag and happily calculated his gains.

And Li Yue, who hadn't flipped over the “Attention” card for many days, of course didn't know that at this moment, the Forbidden Forest and the laboratory had both become interested in the library—as he stepped into the gate of the library, Lulu and Feifei hugged him tightly, and then he was overwhelmed by the Minimis' warm welcome.

But in the midst of the joyous celebration, one voice was extremely out of place.

“Friend, you're not being fair.” Egghead said, with a crystal on his head, full of resentment.

“Not being fair…” Egghead's shadow also turned into a line of large characters, constantly wriggling and expanding.
