What Do You Mean My Cute Disciples Are Yanderes?

Chapter 532 - I’m Done Here, For Now

(MC POV)

"You are unexpectedly studious."

??

I looked up from my book to see Rina standing over me with her arms crossed.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"I never took you for someone who could immerse themselves in reading for hours on end. Aren't you hungry? We've been here for six hours already, you know?"

I blinked at her, have I already been here for that long? I mean, I did spend a good hour or two just trying to decipher the barrier so there's that. Then after that it was just reading through the books Xun Guan found for me which admittedly did not tell me much.

"I hope you're not one of those types that can coop themselves up in a library to read for days on end without eating or drinking anything?"

Well… Sorry for being someone who can coop themself in a library for days on end without eating or drinking.

Hey, I'm sure anyone who likes reading can understand me, right?!

She picked up one of the books that I left on the table, "Besides… 'Ways to enlarge Quark Veins'? Why are you even reading all this when you aren't a Practitioner?"

I shrugged, "I just like to know things."

"That is a dangerous thought right there. Such desires usually cause people to end up dead or worse."

"I know the risks. But sometimes knowing is better than not knowing."

"You speak like a Practitioner."

I almost answered her that it was because I was one but stopped myself just in time, giving her a wry smile as an answer instead.

"Do you think I can come back here again?"

"I'm sure if you pay her most gracious Majesty with another… Another one of your underhanded payments, she would grant you access to here again. So can we go back now, please?"

Ah, she must be feeling quite ill at ease being away from her mistress for so long. Anyway, I can already teleport myself back here so there wouldn't be a need for that.

"Just one more thing I want to find out before we go," I told her, getting up from the table.

She rolled her eyes at me but did not protest, going back to her couch to continue the book she had been reading.

I went towards one of the shelves that I remembered the book being at, a book that briefly mentioned about the being that made all of this happen in the first place.

I was talking about the Divine Primordial Dragon of course.

Back then, I only briefly glanced through the book that mentioned about that dragon and since its contents had nothing to do with repairing my broken meridians.

I scanned through the shelves, looking for the book in question only to come up empty.

Strange, it should be here though…

Perhaps this book hasn't been added to the hidden archives yet?

I went back to the maid who was occupied with a book of her own, "Umm… Rina? Do you have a book about Divine Primordial Dragons?"

She looked at me with narrowed eyes, "There are no such dragons in existence."

I shook my head, "No, I definitely heard of them before. Is there any book about dragons at least?"

She pointed her finger towards one of the shelves on the second floor before going back to her reading.

The fact that she didn't care about that particular shelf meant there shouldn't be any cursed books there. Not that it would matter to me if there were any in the first place.

I followed her direction and inspected the bookshelf thoroughly.

Let's see… Mating habits of mountain dragons… How to make a zombie dragon… Breeding with a dragon… The secrets of leviathan dragons…

Seems like the book I'm looking for isn't here either.

I guess the book has not been added to the archives yet since no one is allowed to take out books from here.

Oh well, maybe I can ask Luna if she knows anything about that dragon.

Other than this particular subject reaching a dead end, I learnt quite a bit in the six hours I had spent here. One of which was how to summon an even bigger meteor.

…

…

What? You tell me if you saw a book titled 'How to summon big ass meteors' you wouldn't be tempted to read it!

Yes, I did question why that book was even in here but after reading through it, if anyone else comprehended what was inside it, they could probably destroy entire cities on a whim.

… Which I guess is a level that I'm already at anyway…

Oh shut up, I read it already and it was interesting so what's done is done.

I went back to Rina, "I'm good now."

She snapped her book shut, "Finally. I was thinking you were never going to leave."

"Well… Sorry for liking to read. Don't suppose I can take any books out of here?"

She scowled at me, "What do you think?"

"I thought not. In that case, we can leave now."

Rina shrugged and gestured towards the exit, prompting me to follow her out of the hidden archives.

The Director was waiting outside for us when we emerged through the barrier.

"Lady Rina, I hope everything was in order?"

"Umu, good work in maintaining the place."

"Your praise honours us. Please come again."

Of course she didn't bother with acknowledging me so I simply followed Rina out of the building.

The same carriage that we took here was waiting for us outside, the driver being Rina herself so I got to sit inside it alone.

Or that should have been the case.

Instead, Luna was waiting outside the carriage for me for some reason. She didn't even bring her entourage either so she was standing out there alone.

"Your Majesty," Rina greeted her with a respectful bow.

Luna merely gave her servant a nod before turning to me, "How was it, husband? The place was not scary at all right? If it was, please let me know and I will burn the place down and rebuild it to suit your needs. There were no scary books either right? None of it hurt you right? Should I just burn up all the cursed books inside the archives? That sounds like a good idea right? How I wish that I could be there with husband, but you see, your wonderful kiss got me so worked up that I couldn't function properly for quite a while. If only husband had given me a little more time, I could have practiced my kissing a bit more to suit your tastes. How regrettable."

As usual, she just keeps on going the moment she starts. I'm a little bit worried about her mental state but I suppose it isn't really my problem.

"Calm down, Luna… Let's not make a scene here and go back ok? I'm a little bit tired now."

"Oh of course! I'll have the best food and the bath prepared all for your use! Please make use of them as you see fit! If you would like to, I can also scrub your--"

"No need," I interrupted her before she could complete that offer. "I just want to go back now."

"Ahahaha, husband is shy it seems~ It's ok, let's take this one step at a time~ I can even wear a swimsuit if husband would like me to! Then we would share a bath and--"

I tuned the rest of her words out.

I just want to go home to my disciples already...
