To his surprise, this time Li Yalin understood what the other person was saying. Moreover, he felt that there seemed to be a lot more things in his mind, but when he tried to think carefully, he couldn't remember what they were.

Wait! What did the girl just say? Demon King Majesty? Where is the Demon King?

Looking around, Li Yalin realized that the girl was kneeling only in front of him, and no one else. Could it be that the Demon King she was talking about was him?

If that's the case, then this joke is too big.

"Um..." Li Yalin opened his mouth to ask, but as soon as he uttered two words, he suddenly realized that this wasn't the familiar Chinese he knew, but rather it sounded a bit like the language the girl had spoken. How did this have an automatic translation?

Huh? Li Yalin's expression was very strange. What was going on?

"Please don't panic, Demon King Majesty. You have just received the inheritance, so it's normal to feel a bit uncomfortable." Perhaps seeing Li Yalin's panic, the girl immediately stood up and explained to him very seriously.

"Inheritance? What do you mean? And when you say Demon King, you can't be referring to me, right?" Li Yalin pointed at his nose with a stiff finger. If this was a joke, please tell me now.

"Yes, Demon King Majesty. From today on, you are the thirty-second Demon King of the True Demon Kingdom!" The girl's answer made Li Yalin feel a bit hopeless. He was unexpectedly kidnapped, and now he was unexpectedly the Demon King?

Li Yalin really hoped this was a dream, but unfortunately, he was lying on a luxurious bed belonging to the Demon King. He fell asleep and woke up several times, but each time he opened his eyes, he saw the same ceiling.

This wasn't a dream, but a reality that was more ridiculous than anything else!

Fortunately, Li Yalin quickly accepted this reality, but at this moment, his survival instinct kicked in. He couldn't stay here; he had to go home!

Since he could come here, he must be able to go back! The Demon King thing, whoever wanted to be it could be it, but he had no interest!

Li Yalin was a man of action. Once he had an idea, he would act immediately, especially when it came to matters of life and death.

However, his actions were cut short before they even began.

Kamui, the girl with the light brown ponytail, was actually guarding the door to Li Yalin's room. As soon as Li Yalin opened the door, he saw Kamui kneeling in front of him, waiting for orders.

What's going on here! This was clearly more like surveillance than waiting for orders!

No, he had to think of a way to gather necessary information and find a way home!

"Um... Kamui, right? Can you come in and chat with me?"

After organizing his thoughts, Li Yalin put on his most friendly and approachable expression and smiled, beckoning Kamui over.

"It's my honor, Demon King Majesty!" Kamui placed her right hand on her chest and bowed to Li Yalin, giving off a military-like demeanor.

"Don't be so formal. We're just having a casual chat." Seeing that Kamui was indeed very respectful, Li Yalin gradually relaxed. After all, the beautiful girl in front of him could very well be a female demon in disguise. What else could a Demon King's subordinate be?

At first, Li Yalin was very nervous. To say he could remain calm in this situation would be a lie, but Kamui's attitude eventually made him completely relax. They chatted back and forth, and Li Yalin learned quite a bit of information.

For example, the place where Li Yalin was now was the capital of the True Demon Kingdom, Blood Alliance City, a castle that only the Demon King could rule!

The True Demon Kingdom and Blood Alliance City? When he heard these names, Li Yalin had a sense of déjà vu. If there was a middle school boy who was flushed down a toilet and transported to another world to become a righteous Demon King, it would be even more familiar.

Unfortunately, there was no such righteous Demon King, but there was a Demon King who was just unlucky. Li Yalin felt that he had no strength or magic, and his arrival in this strange world was purely accidental. How could he be the Demon King?

However, Kamui was very certain. She said that Li Yalin had already received the inheritance from the previous Demon King, so he was undoubtedly the thirty-second Demon King!

Inheritance?

After Kamui left, Li Yalin looked at his hands in confusion. Was this what it meant to receive the Demon King's inheritance? Just an automatic translation function?

No, no! Something must be wrong!

After thinking for a long time and still not understanding, Li Yalin grabbed his hair in frustration. He had no idea what to do. Was he just supposed to go with the flow?

To be honest, Li Yalin really wanted to go home, but he couldn't find a way back. When he asked Kamui, she didn't know either. Apart from staying in the room and worrying, Li Yalin had no other choice.

"Beep! Detection complete, loading data..."

Just as Li Yalin was worrying, a sudden voice made him jump up from the bed.

Who's talking?

Li Yalin looked around, but there was no one else in the room.

"Confirming host, compatibility 100%, merging..."

What does that mean?

"Merging complete, confirming host identity, activating True Demon King cultivation system..."

When these words were spoken, Li Yalin was stunned to see a virtual screen appear in front of him. At the top of the screen were the words "True Demon King Cultivation System" in Chinese!

What is this familiar and warm feeling? Although he had only been in this world for a short time, seeing these Chinese characters made Li Yalin feel strangely close.

Despite the warmth, what was this True Demon King cultivation system?

On the virtual screen, there were two options: one was character attributes, and the other was system tasks. Li Yalin tried clicking on character attributes, and a new page immediately appeared in front of him.

Name: Li Yalin

Title: Thirty-second Demon King of the True Demon Kingdom

System Evaluation: Novice Demon King

Talents: None

Weapons and Equipment: None

Skills: None

???

Great, seeing his attributes, Li Yalin was speechless. A novice Demon King? The description was quite fitting, but what did the three question marks mean? Unopened or undeveloped? What conditions were needed to trigger them?

When he clicked on the other task system, he saw only one line of text, and the rest was a gray-black blur.

Demon King growth task—Task content unknown, reward unknown, do you want to activate the task immediately?

What a ridiculous introduction. If it's a task, at least give some hints! How can anyone casually activate a task when they don't know the content or the reward?

To be honest, this True Demon King cultivation system left Li Yalin speechless. The character attributes were only good for self-mockery and had no other functions. The system tasks were a joke. What was the point of having them?

People who traveled to other worlds usually had some kind of golden finger, but he had received a ridiculous system. Li Yalin was not satisfied, but he had no way to complain or return it.

Fortunately, this ridiculous system could be turned on and off at will. After some experimentation, Li Yalin found that if he silently thought about closing the system, the interface would disappear without a trace, which made him feel a bit relieved.

If the interface didn't disappear, staring at it all day would drive him crazy.

"Please come for dinner, Demon King Majesty."

After closing the system, Li Yalin found that he had nothing to do except lie in bed and daydream. Just as he was bored, a series of knocks on the door sounded, and Kamui's voice came from outside.

"Oh, I'm coming."

If she hadn't reminded him, Li Yalin wouldn't have realized that he hadn't eaten for a whole day. Touching his empty stomach, he decided that filling his stomach was the top priority.

Opening the door, Li Yalin followed Kamui to the castle's dining room. Speaking of which, wasn't this dining room a bit too big?

When Li Yalin saw the table in the center of the dining room, which was several meters long, he couldn't help but feel uneasy. This was something that only happened in movies or comics! What would the Demon King's dinner be like? A feast of blood and flesh?

Thinking about it, Li Yalin suddenly felt regretful. Should he find an excuse to slip away first?
