"So, brother, you like this..." Qi Qingchuan put his head close to Shen Jun's ear, and a pair of animal ears pressed against the side of Shen Jun's neck, causing a tingling sensation.

Shen Jun raised his hand and pushed Qi Qingchuan's body, and couldn't help blushing. He was just busy taking the books he hadn't read, and didn't notice that he put this thing in as well.

Who could have thought that he, a demon king, would secretly hide this kind of book to read? How... shameless.

Qi Qingchuan pinched Shen Jun's elbow, slowly bent down and picked up the book on the ground. The pictures in the book were so impactful that Shen Jun blushed and slightly turned his head to try to avoid any contact between his eyes and the book.

"Tsk tsk, what a lascivious posture. Brother, you like this kind of style?" Qi Qingchuan refused to let him go and grabbed him to ask.

Shen Jun wished he could twist his neck to a 180-degree angle to avoid Qi Qingchuan's gaze.

The sound of pages turning came from his ears. Shen Jun listened and the temperature on his face rose a little. This person... is so shameless that he actually turned the pages and read.

"I... I didn't mean to take this book, as for the others... I'll return them to you after I finish reading them..." Shen Jun spoke with a bit of a stutter. Although he knew that his actions were indeed not very gentlemanly, he just couldn't control his hands. Who could understand!

The original owner's memories and past experiences, along with the background story of this world, were transmitted into his mind by the system, causing some of his behaviors to be sometimes influenced by the original owner's past thoughts.

It can be seen that the original owner loves reading, which is why Shen Jun couldn't help but feel itchy when he saw these books.

After hearing what he said, Qi Qingchuan couldn't help but chuckle: "If you like me so much, you might as well marry me and I'll let you read any of the books here."

Shen Jun was silent for a long while and was speechless for a moment. His hand was held by someone, and Shen Jun did not dare to look at Qi Qingchuan, so he had to let his eyes wander around the ground.

Until he saw a few large words written on a book lying not far away, the expression on his face suddenly became dull, and even his body stiffened a little.

Qi Qingchuan noticed Shen Jun's abnormality, frowned and looked in the direction of Shen Jun's gaze, and the words on the open book on the ground came into his sight - Purification Demon Pill.

He quickly recalled the information about the book in his mind, but Qi Qingchuan was surprised to find that he seemed to have never read this book.

Logically speaking, Qi Qingchuan should have read all the books in this basement. He likes to make excerpts when reading books. Except for those books that are really strange and obscure or cannot be copied, he has basically copied all the others.

I can't say that I remember all of them, but he will never forget 90% of the books he has read. As for this one, he really has no impression of it.

Qi Qingchuan let go of Shen Jun's hands, took a step forward, bent down and picked up the book. The moment the book fell into Qi Qingchuan's hands, it immediately emitted a faint warm yellow light, but the light seemed to be blocked by something and could not be seen clearly.

When Shen Jun looked at the book, he immediately felt that something was wrong. He noticed it, and Qi Qingchuan naturally noticed it too.

Qi Qingchuan put two fingers together and whispered something that was like a spell, but Shen Jun couldn't understand it. The next second, Qi Qingchuan's fingertips lightly touched the book.

The pages of the book were originally gray and looked tattered, and the yellowed paper was beginning to fall off due to age.

They fell to the ground and turned into ashes in an instant. The book in Qi Qingchuan's hand shed its outer covering and gradually revealed its original appearance.

The words on the pages turned from black to golden and slowly flew into the air, slowly disrupting their order and rearranging themselves.

Eventually they are arranged in the air to become what looks like a very long symbol. The reason they are called symbols is that what is disrupted and rearranged is not only the fonts but also the strokes.

Shen Jun was so shocked by the scene in front of him that he was speechless for a moment. The golden symbols floating in the air looked even more dazzling against the pale light of the night pearl.

Shen Jun couldn't understand what was written on the Sanskrit-like font. He could only vaguely make out words like "immortal cultivation", "demon pill" and "fusion".

Looking back at Qi Qingchuan who was standing beside him, and seeing that he also had a confused look on his face, Shen Jun knew that Qi Qingchuan probably didn't understand either.

"This book is only half." Qi Qingchuan suddenly said.

Shen Jun turned around and asked him doubtfully: "Do you understand?"

"..." Qi Qingchuan was speechless. "You can't even understand something so simple. Could it be that you are taught to recite the Three Character Classic in class at Qingyue Mountain?"

Shen Jun didn't show any expression when he heard this. He was just really curious about why Qi Qingchuan could understand this. He had seen all kinds of text in the books the original owner had read before, but he had never seen this kind of text.

Driven by strong curiosity, Shen Jun asked the question he wanted to know most: "What is written on it?"

Qi Qingchuan thought that Shen Jun was questioning whether he really understood it.

The fox's ears trembled a few times in anger. Qi Qingchuan looked up at the string of scribbles in the air and translated a few words to Shen Jun word by word.

"The title of this book is 'Legends of Demons and Immortals,'" Qi Qingchuan explained, pointing to the three largest symbols at the front.

"The first line talks about how the source of the demonic energy that ordinary monsters absorb is too complicated, and it carries turbid air, which is not conducive to purification."

"The second line says that if you can find a body that is a demon body and has immortal bones, you can solve it."

"The third line says that it can be kept in captivity, and the following probably describes the method of raising a certain body."

"The remaining content is cut off at a very strange place, so I say this is not a complete book."

Qi Qingchuan explained to Shen Jun one by one, but the more Shen Jun listened, the more he felt that Qi Qingchuan probably didn't understand at all and was talking nonsense to him.

Not to mention that the demonic energy is pure to the demon after being transformed through the demon pill, the demon body and the fairy bone are like water and fire, completely incompatible with each other, let alone existing in the same body at the same time.

Thinking of this, Shen Jun was almost certain that Qi Qingchuan was fooling him.

"What's that expression on your face?" Qi Qingchuan looked at Shen Jun and slowly asked a question.

After thinking about it carefully, Qi Qingchuan seemed to finally realize that Shen Jun was doubting him.

Qi Qingchuan's ears trembled with anger. When he looked at Shen Jun again, his expression had turned completely cold. "Shen Jun, is it true that you won't believe anything I say?"

Shen Jun watched him change his expression like turning the pages of a book, and the words he said were incomprehensible. For a moment, he didn't know how to respond.

His silence seemed to have touched a sore spot in Qi Qingchuan, and Shen Jun's eyes dimmed almost instantly when he looked at him.

The pair of animal ears drooped unconsciously, lacking their former spirit.

"Hehe... I should have known this earlier. You have always been like this. No matter what I say, you just don't believe it. I am such a fucking cheapskate." Qi Qingchuan said this and raised his eyes to meet Shen Jun's.

The next second, Qi Qingchuan put away his cynical look and replaced it with indifference and contempt.

"If you don't believe me, forget it. This is my library, my private territory. It's not appropriate for Senior Brother Shen to be here. Please leave."

When he spoke again, Qi Qingchuan's tone was so cold that Shen Jun felt unfamiliar.

The system warning sounded instantly in his mind, with an ear-piercing ding-ding sound, which made Shen Jun frown.

[Warning! Warning! The character Qi Qingchuan's blackening value has been detected to have increased significantly. Please pay attention to stop it in time! Current blackening value]

Shen Jun: “…”

No, how did it become darker by accident? What was the darker value before?

[The previous blackening value of Qi Qingchuan has been found for you:]

How can it be so obvious when it only rose by one point? Do you have to be so deceptive?

[Sorry, host, the maximum black value is, if it goes up a little more, the world will collapse, so 031 has to warn you, please lower Qi Qingchuan's black value as soon as possible to prevent Qi Qingchuan from blackening.]

031 disappeared immediately after he finished explaining. Shen Jun felt helpless and furious.

But... the facts were in front of him and he had to follow the request to smooth Qi Qingchuan's hair. After all, this thing was like an inflammable and explosive item. Who knew if he would suddenly turn completely evil and kill himself in the next second?

After Qi Qingchuan finished speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave. Shen Jun subconsciously reached out and grabbed him. The moment their fingertips touched, Qi Qingchuan turned around and faced Shen Jun.

His eyes were actually red, and a tear was hanging in the corner of his eye and would not fall away.

Shen Jun looked at it, and suddenly an inexplicable sadness filled his heart.

It seemed like he had once looked at herself with tears and sadness in his eyes.
