At night, Ye Xi took Xiaer for a walk through other passages and then walked back to the original place.

The ruins under the cover of night are even more eerie than during the day. In the places where the light cannot reach, it seems as if there are a pair of eyes looking at this side.

But even so, Ye Xi still had no plans to return.

Until now, apart from the skeletons in the storage room over there, the rest are either murals, fragments, or decaying rooms. There is nothing worth noting.

Ye Xi planned to spend the night here and was very curious about what was written on the paper during the day.

"Are you scared?" Ye Xi asked.

"With you here, I can't even—"

Ciel choked for a moment, glancing nervously around at the dark corners.

"Since you're not afraid, you can sleep here. I'll sleep in the inner room."

There is only one bench on site at the moment, and the space is limited, so there is no room for anyone else.

Upon hearing this, Charles immediately shook his head quickly to deny it.

"No, no, no! It's okay for me to be scared."

"I can just sleep on the floor, really..."

In a fit of anger, Charles collapsed on the ground and stared at Ye Xi with a complaining look.

The temperature at night is quite different from that during the day, and the dust-covered floor is slippery and cold, so it would be unbearable to sleep there directly.

Thinking of this, Ye Xi smiled brightly.

"I didn't force you, did I?"

Charles didn't answer, but turned his head away with a choked breath, sitting on the cold floor with his hands on his legs.

The reason for doing this was very simple. Ye Xi just wanted to verify what was written on the paper.

"It is said that at midnight, the moon hanging in the night sky will emit a bright white light, shining through this big hole onto the ground."

"Then something incredible will happen."

"Then let's clean the floor first."

Ye Xi got down from the bench, took out a broom from the system backpack, and started to clean the dust from the floor.

And in this process, Charles, who was sitting on the floor, was undoubtedly the biggest obstacle.

She turned her back to Ye Xi and remained silent. She looked angry, but not at all.

After sitting for just a short while, I noticed that Charles was beginning to feel sleepy.

With his eyes narrowed and his head shaking, he looked like he was in agony.

Seeing this, Ye Xi poked her cheek with his hand and slowly opened his eyes in a daze.

"Um...what's wrong?"

"Are you really sleepy? Then go and sleep on the stool."

Following Ye Xi's gentle tone, Charles slowly stood up, lay down on the bench tremblingly, and soon fell asleep.

He was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that Charles was really sleepy. Most people can't fall asleep in seconds. This directly refreshed Ye Xi's cognition.

But there is no time to care too much about it right now, but to do the current job well.

Ye Xi took the broom and casually swept the dust on the ground.

After a while, just as Ye Xi was cleaning seriously, Xiao You ran out again for some reason.

"You didn't sleep?"

Ye Xi glanced at Xiao You, and her crystal clear and round eyes flickered in the dark as if they were born with light.

"I'm always in high spirits. Do you need my help?"

"No, you just need to be prepared."

After saying that, Ye Xi continued to sweep with the broom in his hand, while Xiao You did not feel sleepy at all and stayed at a distance from Ye Xi.

From time to time, I looked up at the hole above and could see that the moonlight had touched the edge.

It won't be long before it almost touches the ground.

"So, Xiaoyou, do you feel anything now?"

"Hmm? Are those the things Ye Xi is referring to?"

At this point, we can understand each other's meaning without too much explanation.

Xiaoyou looked left and right for a while, then shook her head.

"It's very quiet tonight, and I can't feel the familiar atmosphere at all."

"But in a little while, the moonlight will officially usher in its brightest moment."

Xiaoyou's words were meaningful, and Ye Xi couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Are you looking forward to it too?"

"Well, I'm just curious, and the process should be very exciting, right?"

What made Ye Xi sigh was Xiaoyou's growth rate. Perhaps it was because he had recovered some of his memories, and even his personality had changed.

Thinking back to the very beginning, Xiaoyou’s true form was still a petite ghost loli.

He is stationed in the cemetery of the Demon King's Castle all year round on standby and guard.

Now this kitten's body has become more and more adapted to her, and she has even begun to gradually forget its original appearance and personality.

"I wonder how the Demon King is doing now."

"Beelzebub? That guy should be relaxing right now, right?"

Ye Xi cleaned the ground, but only the area under the big hole.

The accumulated dust was put aside, revealing a clean and tidy floor, where even the reflection was clearly visible.

It's really boring to have nothing to do and just wait for midnight to come.

Then he happened to recall an unforgettable experience in the Demon King's Castle.

"He said he was going to sit on the throne and wait for his own hero. It seems to me that guy is in heat, right?"

"The demons are truly an unforgivable species."

Ye Xi's judgment of the demons was helpless, and the time he was insulted was the best example.

Beneath the stunningly beautiful appearance lies an evil spirit with evil intentions.

The first impression she gave Ye Xi was that of arrogance, followed by behavior that was joyless, and a personality that was absolutely confident in herself, believing that strength was above all else.

But the final result was not much better.

"That's not important. The Demon King has his merits too."

"He's handsome, strong, and meticulous. He's definitely my idol."

Xiaoyou was praising Beelzebub on her own, which made Ye Xi want to laugh.

I want to refute, but I don’t know how.

Pointing out others' shortcomings in the name of greatness is like telling lies with open eyes.

But we have to admit that the Demon King’s strength should not be underestimated.

No matter what, he is also a demon king, a terrifying existence that people are eager to cross mountains and rivers to defeat.

"Well, everyone has their own hero in their heart."

"I can understand that, so don't become like her."

Ye Xi smiled gently, and the narration of memories ended there.

Before they knew it, it was almost time and Ye Xi was standing under the moonlight.

Xiaoyou woke up Charles as a safeguard, as no one could guarantee what would happen afterwards.

Midnight has arrived, and the moonlight shines on the clean ground, reflecting a sublime nobility.

"Strange, nothing happened..."

Ye Xi stood there for a long time, but it was not what he had expected at all.

But at this moment, Charles just yawned and his expression gradually became dull.
