Chapter 1700 478: The Campbell People Who Learn by Doing
Deep within the Great Graveyard, the Demon King's study was as quiet as ever, with only the soft rustle of pages being turned.
Luo Yan, sitting under the magic crystal lamp, was writing a letter.
Compared to the noisy Thunder City, he found that he still preferred it here.
Not just because the players were excellent cooks, but also because the ingredients here were far more abundant and nutritious than those in Thunder City.
Ever since he recently broke through to the Purple Crystal Level, his soaring Extraordinary Power once again left the theoretical bottleneck far behind.
To avoid accidentally blowing himself up due to a casting error one day, he was currently cramming higher-level magic knowledge.
On his desk were both magic books transcribed from the Academic State's library and the "Hell Demon Scripture" penned by high-level demons.
All thanks to Mia's help.
Books that are hard for ordinary people to obtain were not a difficult task for the eldest daughter of the Padric Family.
Luo Yan just sent a letter back, and she used the teleportation array to send over a large pile of books, with a handwritten letter inside.
The style of that letter was, as always, beneath the presumptuous "arrogance," hidden with worry and concern about to spill over from the letter.
However, unlike before, this time it seemed Mia's emotions were somewhat broken, with a strong sense of melancholy mixed between the lines.
To summarize it into three sentences—
"When did you break through to the Purple Crystal Level?!"
"Why didn't I know???"
"Why was Miss Colin ahead of me???"
Perhaps due to the vampire's pathological pursuit of lineage, even Miss Enchanting Demon, who was absolutely confident in her own charm, couldn't let her guard down.
In any case, it seemed that Vivian had told Mia about her breakthrough to the Purple Crystal Level and flaunted it a lot in front of her.
Luo Yan hadn't expected Vivian to do something so immature, so he decided to give this immature person a small punishment.
After much thought, he wrote in his reply to Mia, "I didn't intend to hide it from you, I just wanted to share this surprise with you in person."
He believed that after receiving this letter and grinning idiotically, Mia would definitely show it off to Vivian.
Compared to punishments that might be mistaken for rewards, this letter should deal some real damage, right?
And also calm down the emotions of Miss "Boss."
Watching the little demon holding the envelope in its mouth and flying to the transmission room, the Demon King couldn't help but reveal a wicked smile.
Whether on the battlefield or in social situations, the crafty Demon King could cope with everything effortlessly...
"Achoo—!"
A tender sneeze shattered the silence.
Next to the desk, in a basket lined with a velvet cushion, a little female dragon not much longer than an arm twitched her nose and opened her sleepy eyes.
"Who is gossiping about me again..."
Her foul-mouthed tone completely ruined her cute image, Luo Yan thought that she might be a bit cuter if she replaced "me" with another term.
By the way, she seemed to be in her "Scale Changing Period" recently, shedding her juvenile scales for new, neat, and dense golden ones.
Though new scales still carried a faint pinkish tint, their streamlined luster already gave her an air of majestic "Dragon Power."
It seemed the special magic potions given by Professor Aidonia did work, accelerating the growth of this little Dragon God.
Soon, she would fulfill her previous life's regret of not being able to fly.
Even if it was under the guise of being a "meat lizard" of the Zeta Empire…
Stretching lazily, Luo Yan shifted his gaze from the desk, glanced at the just-awakened Taufu, and teased casually.
"Maybe it's Alakdo. It's always wanted to try dragon meat."
"?!!"
The just-awoken Taufu shuddered, trembling on the spot in fright.
Startled, she instinctively pulled back, just hearing a soft "pop," and laid an egg the size of a quail's egg.
Before the dragon egg could roll out of the basket, Luo Yan lightly waved his magic wand.
A wisp of breeze gently caught the dragon egg, then carried it like a treasure, floating it stably out of the study towards the kitchen.
"You... you did that on purpose, right?!" Taufu flared up, climbed out of the basket with all fours, and puffed at Luo Yan.
Luo Yan finally looked up, a gentle smile on his face.
"I'm just stating a fact."
"You..."
Taufu was just about to protest when a hurried "shhh shhh shhh" of footsteps came from outside the door.
The study door was nudged open by Alakdo's head, who, moving its eight furry long legs, crawled in, groveling with its massive body on the ground.
"My respectable and handsome and mighty Lord Demon King, your servant Lord Octo seeks to see you!" He fawned in a teeth-grating voice, toadying to the extreme.
Ever since granted the Platinum Level Soul Grade award, this big spider's sycophancy towards the Demon King had become nauseating to the point even Mi Xi would shiver.
Luo Yan thought, if this guy could be like Sarah, shifting his focus from useless flattery to diligently honing his skills, he might already be a Platinum Level Earth Cave Spider, rather than just a hollow Platinum Level soul but a fine steel waste.
The blessings of the Divine are certainly useful, but they are meaningless if one doesn't seize the opportunity.
While fawning, the gluttonous Alakdo twitched his mouthparts twice, seemingly catching the lingering aroma of food in the air.
