Chapter 4

On the first night in this unfamiliar world, Li Yalin stayed awake all night, his mind a mess. Everything that had happened today was still vivid in his memory. He tried to sort out his chaotic thoughts but found that the more he tried, the more confused he became.

Arriving in this world out of nowhere and becoming a demon king, and now about to duel with a lolita princess—such a plot could only be found in novels and manga. It was truly exhausting for Li Yalin to even think about it.

Especially since this upcoming duel was extremely dangerous, and whether he could survive this ordeal was unknown. Could next year's tomorrow be his death anniversary? Was it really necessary to play such a cruel joke?

"Your Majesty, did you not rest well?" The next morning, seeing the large dark circles under Li Yalin's eyes, Kamel knew what had happened. She was secretly annoyed at her sister's lack of consideration and was very worried about Li Yalin.

"Nothing, nothing, I was just thinking about some things." Li Yalin weakly waved his hand, feeling that his end was near.

"Your Majesty, please forgive Isya's capriciousness. I have already scolded her well last night!" Suddenly, Kamel knelt before Li Yalin, begging for his forgiveness.

For Li Yalin, forgiveness was secondary; what caught his attention was the scolding.

"Do you mean I don't have to duel?" Li Yalin asked with great surprise.

"Unfortunately, no." Seeing Li Yalin's joyful expression, Kamel, though reluctant, shook her head helplessly.

"Once the decision to duel is made, it cannot be withdrawn." Hearing this, Li Yalin's expression immediately turned gloomy. It seemed he was destined to die.

"However, considering that Your Majesty has just arrived, I have discussed with Isya and decided to postpone the duel for a month."

"Just a month? What can I do in a month?"

Although Kamel had indeed secured a month for Li Yalin, he felt that a month was not enough. As an ordinary person, even if he trained hard for a month, he could not possibly defeat a demon. He had no protagonist aura and could not emit a king's aura to make subordinates bow. The extra month only meant he would live for one more month.

"No, Your Majesty, you have already received the inheritance of the previous demon king, and the magic power of the previous demon king is stored within you. With just a little training, you can restore the demon king's glory!" On this point, Kamel did not agree with Li Yalin. Since he was chosen to be the demon king, he must have the potential to become one. Otherwise, why would he have been chosen?

"Training?" Li Yalin's eyes were full of confusion, but he soon found out what training meant.

"Kamel... how much longer do I have to swing?"

An hour later, in a corner of the Blood Alliance City's rear garden, Li Yalin was swinging a ten-pound iron sword up and down, his face drenched in sweat.

At this moment, Li Yalin's face was full of bitterness and fatigue. He had been swinging the sword for over half an hour under Kamel's supervision. His arms were sore and almost numb. How much longer would this continue?

"Your Majesty! You are swinging the sword for yourself! If you want to defeat Isya in a month, you must work twice as hard! Do not forget this!"

It must be said that Kamel in training mode was quite Spartan. Unlike her usual obedient self, she had now transformed into a devilish instructor, determined to thoroughly train Li Yalin.

"But I really can't take it anymore..." Li Yalin was not afraid of hard work or fatigue. He knew his current situation; the more he trained, the better it was for him. But after swinging the sword for so long, he had indeed reached his limit.

No... I can't... do it...

Finally, after swinging the sword countless times, Li Yalin fell to the ground with a thud, his consciousness drifting away.

Darkness, endless darkness enveloped Li Yalin, making him unaware of his surroundings.

Did I die? Did I die from exhaustion? If so, that's really pathetic.

At this moment, Li Yalin felt himself in a very mysterious state, as if he were in the darkness but still had his consciousness. However, he immediately began to mock himself.

Li Yalin was not panicked by this state. He had already experienced enough surprises recently, so he was not surprised by this.

"You are quite optimistic." Just as Li Yalin was mocking himself, a woman's voice suddenly sounded, elegant, dignified, seductive, and alluring. Although he did not understand why a voice could give him so many feelings, this was indeed his first impression.

"Who are you?" Li Yalin looked around, but he could see nothing but darkness.

"Guess? If you guess correctly, there will be a reward." The voice echoed in Li Yalin's ear, as if she were right next to him, but he could neither see nor touch her.

"Playing tricks, say it or not." Li Yalin snorted. He had already experienced enough misfortune and did not want to play guessing games with a woman who was playing tricks.

"Quite a temper. Why did I choose such a successor? Truly disappointing."

"Successor?"

The woman's voice feigned a sigh, but upon hearing her words, Li Yalin immediately became agitated.

"Was it you who brought me to this world? Are you the previous demon king?" Li Yalin was not stupid. Given her words, he could deduce that this woman was the one who brought him to this world.

"Congratulations! You got it right!" In response to Li Yalin's question, the previous demon king did not answer but instead cheered, making Li Yalin feel as if he had won the lottery.

No! What is this? If you found the culprit, quickly send me back home!

"Tell me, what reward do you want?" Before Li Yalin could speak, the previous demon king spoke again. Was there really a reward?

"I want to go home!" Li Yalin said without hesitation. At this moment, he wanted nothing more than to go home.

"This reward is quite a challenge. I am currently sealed, and bringing you to this world has already used up all my power. It is impossible to send you back." Hearing Li Yalin's words, the previous demon king's tone became difficult.

What? You can bring me here but not send me back? One-way ticket, you're kidding me?

"Then how can I go home?" Although the previous demon king said it was impossible, Li Yalin did not give up. He had to find a way home!

"Very simple, just get stronger. Strong enough to break my seal. Once I am unsealed and recover my power, I can send you home." The previous demon king's tone was very relaxed, but Li Yalin felt very helpless.

Get stronger, in the end, it all comes down to getting stronger!

Helpless as he was, Li Yalin finally found a way home. It was not about not finding a way, but about having a goal to strive for!

"Getting stronger is enough, right? Good! I will break your seal and make you send me home!" Li Yalin made up his mind. Getting stronger, I will show you!

"Good! Ambitious! You are worthy of being my chosen successor. In recognition of your ambition, I will give you some benefits."

Benefits? What benefits?

Before Li Yalin could ask more, a dizziness came over him. When he regained consciousness, he found himself lying back on the luxurious and soft demon king's bed.
