Chapter 27: The Demonic Corruption and a Devious Plan

Upon returning home, Lulu hurriedly rushed back to her bedroom.

Behind her, the Little Demon King couldn’t help but shake his head with a chuckle. ‘This,’ he mused, ‘is what you call bringing trouble upon yourself!’

He first changed his pants, then proceeded to the kitchen. Just as he was about to prepare a meal as instructed by Miss Lulu, something unexpected occurred…

Suddenly, he noticed a peculiar entry within his skill panel.

****

**Factor — Unlocked, 5%.**

Hmm?

Alexius felt a jolt of surprise. This…

If he wasn’t mistaken, this was likely the skill he had relied on most heavily in his previous life: Demonic Corruption — Mental Manipulation.

Wasn’t this a Demon King-exclusive skill, only learnable at the Tenth Tier? Why, then, did he have an unlock progress bar at merely the First Tier?

Skills weren’t something one learned gradually; they were acquired instantaneously.

A sudden realization struck the Demon King. Could it be… because he had just had intimate contact with Lulu, and felt… desire for her?

Did the desire to corrupt her activate the skill’s prerequisite? Was this not something that absolutely required reaching the Tenth Tier to unlock?

The Little Demon King stroked his chin. ‘Well, I’ll be! If I could unlock this monstrously powerful skill ahead of time, I probably wouldn’t even need to reach the Tenth Tier. I could rule the world ages earlier!’

How intriguing… He could find an opportunity to punish that woman, Lulu, while also unlocking his most potent skill for the final reckoning?

Heh heh… This was truly something to look forward to!

****

A short while later, Lulu finally emerged from her room, having changed into casual clothes, her face tinged with a blush of shyness. However, upon encountering the Little Demon King carrying dinner, an unpleasant memory involving her posterior resurfaced.

Consequently, the girl’s expression immediately fell, becoming unusually placid.

“Teacher, dinner is ready. Let’s celebrate tonight!”

`[Tsk, celebrate what? Your admission to the elite class doesn’t please me in the slightest!]`

Lulu rolled her eyes a million times internally, yet outwardly, she merely nodded calmly and replied, “Alright, I’ll celebrate for you.”

‘Alexius thought: ‘Who said anything about celebrating admission? Can’t I celebrate unlocking my Demonic Corruption skill?”

The Little Demon King offered a faint smile. Lulu couldn’t shake the feeling that her disciple’s expression today was particularly odd, as if… he had her completely figured out?

Hmph… Still, she reasoned, he was probably just overjoyed about his successful admission. This other world wasn’t like her previous one, where information was so readily available online, with all sorts of adult content.

There, it would have been hard *not* to know about the intricacies between men and women.

Here, however, things were different. The local customs were simple and wholesome. Aside from the nobility indulging in more extravagant pastimes, children from ordinary families, especially a fifteen-year-old boy, likely hadn’t interacted much with girls.

Despite being in adolescence, he was probably still rather innocent and naive about such matters.

“Time to eat.”

****

The two of them settled at the dining table, but tonight’s dinner was exceptionally quiet. Lulu had fully expected the Little Demon King to boast about his prowess, detailing how splendidly he had performed in each match. Instead… there was nothing.

On the contrary, the Little Demon King appeared to be lost in thought about something else entirely, leaving her puzzled as to the reason.

Lulu ran a hand through her hair. ‘Phew… It’s fine, as long as he’s not plotting against me,’ she thought.

““Hmm, speaking of which, Teacher, will the courses you teach everyone at the Magic Academy from now on be identical?” the Little Demon King suddenly inquired.”

““Uh, yes, they will be. However, the school primarily teaches simple magic. Given your exceptional talent, you needn’t worry too much.””

Lulu waved her hand dismissively as she spoke, yet in her mind, she was thinking:

`[Those lousy spells, useful as they are, are truly difficult. I waste so much time preparing lessons every time. Cough, cough, damn it, it’s a shame it’s not one-on-one teaching. If I slack off during class, the students will complain. But I really don’t want to teach the Little Demon King any powerful magic… Hmm, I’ll praise him excessively first, so he falls behind later.]`

****

‘Alexius: ‘…”

‘That woman is utterly devious! What a despicable teacher.’

““Cough, cough, so, Teacher, could you perhaps give me some special tutoring and teach me some more powerful magic?””

The Little Demon King gazed at Lulu with eager anticipation. Lulu smiled outwardly, but inwardly, she was already mulling things over.

`[Hmph, who would teach the Little Demon King magic? He’d probably just use it against me later. Ugh… I won’t teach him anything… Wait a minute, I’ve got a brilliant idea!]`

Lulu’s crimson eyes glinted, and the corners of her mouth instantly curved upwards into a slight smile. Extending a finger, she addressed the Demon King:

““I do, in fact, possess a very special magic cultivation technique, one that can significantly enhance your training speed. Well, what can I do? Since you’re my disciple, I suppose I’ll teach it to you. Hold out your hand!””

With that, Lulu took the Little Demon King’s hand and silently recited a transmission incantation. Moments later, a cultivation array was transferred into the Little Demon King’s skill panel.

Phew~

Lulu released the Little Demon King’s hand and declared, “This is a more efficient cultivation array, Xiu’er. You should use this for your training from now on!”

““Hmm… this…””

The Little Demon King had no idea what scheme Lulu was concocting, but his gut feeling told him she was definitely trying to trick him.

`[Heh heh heh, this array is quite formidable! It can turn the Little Demon King into a human power bank, haha! The purpose of this array is to sacrifice a portion of absorbed transcription factors to invigorate and supplement virility!]`

`[If he cultivates with this, his magic level will increase incredibly slowly! I won’t have to worry about the Little Demon King posing a threat to me anymore~ Haha, I truly am a genius!]`

`[Little Demon King, don’t blame your teacher~ I’ve heard many noble lords use this array for treatment after their vitality is depleted, so I’m not really tricking you, am I, haha~ Moreover, I hear that people who cultivate with this array actually possess quite a bit of magic power within themselves, with high concentrations in their bodily fluids. But they just can’t unleash their full strength, they can only be human power banks. Nya ha ha~ Serves you right! For daring to… offend your teacher today, hmph!]`

Lulu’s heart swelled with delight. Looking at the Little Demon King’s boyish appearance, she felt considerably more satisfied.

He was so adorable; becoming a human power bank suited him perfectly. Forget being a Demon King!

Heh heh heh~

Alexius lowered his head in exasperation. This woman… truly, he never knew when she would try to pull a fast one on him.

Fortunately, he could hear her thoughts. Tsk tsk, this array wasn’t entirely useless to him, though!

His own magical arrays could be used in conjunction with certain Holy Light magic arrays. Transcription factors were inherently useless to him anyway, so using them to boost his virility was perfectly fine and wouldn’t impact his efficiency.

Pfft…

‘Teacher Lulu, you want to cultivate your disciple into a human power bank… could it be that you intend to use him yourself?’

Alexius chuckled softly, then nodded and said:

““Your disciple will certainly not betray Teacher’s kind intentions, and will master this skill thoroughly!””

““Mm-hmm, Xiu’er is such a good boy!””

Both of them secretly reveled in their own little schemes.
