Games with fairies.

Under the pitch-black night, the footsteps outside the library sounded extremely harsh.

Yan Xiaoru stood among the numerous bookshelves, listening to the noise coming from far away, and a chill ran through her heart.

There shouldn't be anyone on this island!

This place is far away from the land, located on the foggy sea, isolated from the world.

The Tianji Pavilion lineage had long since died out, leaving only her as the last bloodline.

Why would anyone come closer now?

Yan Xiaoru's thoughts were churning and countless doubts flashed through her mind.

She quietly let go of the book in her hand and returned the bookshelf to its original state. While concealing her own breath, she listened carefully to the movements outside.

There were several Tianji puppets scattered on the lawn outside the library.

They are powerful puppets made of North Sea gold, and are driven by the power of the sun, moon and stars. It is their duty to protect the library.

If the creatures from the Tianji Pavilion had not approached the library, they would have been alarmed and attracted the attack of the puppet giants.

But Yan Xiaoru hid in the darkness and waited for a long time. The footsteps outside the library had passed through the grass, crossed the wooden bridge over the stream, and arrived at the gate of Tianji Pavilion.

The Tianji puppets, which were supposed to attack the owner of the footsteps, were silent and motionless, as if they were unaware of the arrival of the outsider.

A trace of astonishment appeared on Yan Xiaoru's face.

——Is it possible that the bloodline of Tianji Pavilion is still alive in this world?

Otherwise, why didn't the Tianji Puppet attack this person?

Yan Xiaoru was extremely confused.

The door of the library was pushed open at this time.

The footsteps were approaching the direction where Yan Xiaoru was.

Hearing the approaching footsteps, Yan Xiaoru's heart trembled and she carefully hid her tracks again.

She hid in the shadows, concealing all traces of herself. At this moment, she almost merged with the wall behind her and entered a ghostly state.

The footsteps were still approaching, and no one noticed that a guest had appeared in the library.

thump -- thump -- thump --

The calm and orderly footsteps slowly approached in the darkness, getting closer and closer.

The footsteps were not heavy, but each one seemed to step on Yan Xiaoru's heart, making her heart beat violently.

Finally, the footsteps came closer.

In the dark library, a tall and slender black shadow dragging a long gauze dress appeared in Yan Xiaoru's sight as if floating.

The two-meter-high bookshelf is only as high as its shoulders.

It floated lightly across the bookshelf, its slender legs faintly glowing in the darkness, clearly the limbs of an insect.

Yan Xiaoru's pupils suddenly dilated at this moment.

This completely unexpected and horrifying scene suddenly appeared in her sight without any warning.

——The one who can enter and leave the library freely is actually a terrifying monster that has never been seen before!

There was no trace of breath on its body, as if it did not exist in this world.

Even though it passed in front of Yan Xiaoru, with Yan Xiaoru's powerful perception in the Purple Mansion Realm, she was unable to sense the existence of that aura.

It was not a human, nor a demon, nor a monk... The huge monster before her was an evil creature she had never heard of before!

At this moment, Yan Xiaoru finally understood why the Tianji puppet outside the library did not attack.

Because in the eyes of the Tianji Puppet, which relies on spiritual consciousness to perceive everything, this monster does not exist at all!

Yan Xiaoru's breathing completely stopped.

She watched as the gigantic monster floated to the front of the bookshelf and used its slender limbs to put a thick ancient book back on the shelf.

It turns out that the missing ancient book was taken away by this monster!

The cold moonlight now shines through the transparent dome of the library.

Everything in the entire library was bathed in the cool moonlight.

The tall bookshelves glowed faintly in the moonlight, drawing power from the stars.

The huge monster with the fluttering black veil stood elegantly and casually in front of the bookshelf, its slender limbs sliding gently on the bookshelf.

It is clearly a hideous and ferocious giant insect, but the elegance it displays at this moment is like a graceful lady carefully selecting her favorite book.

Ugly and absolutely beautiful, hideous and elegant...many completely different temperaments appeared on the monster at the same time, mixing to form an extremely terrifying charm.

Yan Xiaoru felt even colder in her heart.

At this moment, if she was not an ordinary mortal with the cultivation of the mind and character in the Purple Mansion Realm, she would have probably knelt down in worship the moment she saw this monster.

This monster exudes a holy aura that is rarely seen in the world!

It is like a legendary ancient sage. Just standing there makes people want to worship it.

Yan Xiaoru felt cold all over and dared hardly move.

She had a vague intuition that if she moved at this moment, the monster in front of her would notice her presence.

Then she will not be able to walk out of the door of the library tonight.

It is obvious that she has reached the Purple Mansion Realm and is one of the top cultivators in this world.

But facing the strange monster in front of her, she felt small and powerless as if she was facing a god.

What on earth is this monster and where did it come from?

Why does it appear on Tianji Island?

What is it trying to do by staying here?

Countless questions were surging in Yan Xiaoru's mind.

But all she could do at this moment was to try to hide herself and completely disappear into the darkness.

The extremely powerful concealment technique in the "Grimoire of the Underworld" can hide oneself in the underworld, between reality and the underworld.

If it weren't for this powerful concealment technique, she might have been discovered by the terrifying monster in front of her...

Yan Xiaoru stared at the floor, not even daring to look at the monster's body.

He was afraid that his gaze would attract the attention of this holy spirit-like monster.

In the library, starlight was shining, but it was still dead silent.

Only the faint sound of the giant monster's slowly floating footsteps and the rustling sound of the monster's limbs slowly sliding across the bookshelf could be heard.

After a while, the monster's footsteps disappeared.

It seemed to have picked out the books it wanted, and floated away with them, with footsteps moving toward the outside of the library.

As elegant and calm as when it came, it strolled leisurely across the lawn guarded by the Tianji puppets, crossed the land where the Tianji Pavilion had set up restrictions, and the sound of its footsteps gradually disappeared from Yan Xiaoru's perception.

This evil and terrifying monster left so easily without noticing Yan Xiaoru's presence.

A long time passed until the other person's voice completely disappeared in the darkness.

Yan Xiaoru, who had been hiding in the darkness, took a deep breath and suddenly emerged from the darkness like a drowning person who had been drowning for a long time, gasping for the fresh air in reality.

This state of a spirit disappearing into the netherworld is extremely terrible for a living person.

But fortunately, she avoided the horrible monster and escaped.

It's just this monster...

Yan Xiaoru frowned and looked in the direction the other person left, muttering to herself.

"What does it do with those prophecy books..."
