Chapter 33：The natural born scoundrel

["Your Highness, King, please trust me with the Crown Prince Mo Li. I will educate him well."

"Well, Luo, I have full confidence in your abilities. I will not interfere with Li anymore, as she is now in your hands."

As the Ghost King left, you watched his back and started pondering. Since you first met the Ghost King, he has always been kind and gentle.

It felt strange to you, as other ghost tribes you know are full of ghostly aura and have a violent temperament.

Moreover, there is no concept of higher-ranking ghosts being more restrained.

The higher the rank, the more volatile their temper, unless they are suppressed by absolute strength.

Now you know that there is not only one Ghost King in the ghost tribe.

The other Ghost Kings are extremely irritable, so you are curious if the Ghost King is a pure-blooded ghost.

As the Ghost King left, you turned to look at Mo Li beside you. Mo Li was looking at you with fanaticism on his face, despite being turned into a pighead.

He wasn't angry because you were the first leader-level person to defeat him.

"You are amazing. Now that you have defeated me, I can call you 'teacher,' but this title is temporary. I am still too young. Give me ten years, and after those ten years, you won't be my match. Then, you have to call me 'big brother.'"

Upon hearing the words of the little ghost in front of you, you couldn't help but smile and reply, "I remember that ghosts reach adulthood at sixty years old. By then, you may have difficulty advancing to the Emperor level in ten years. At most, you will only reach the Lord level."

"What? Are you saying that the Lord's level is not enough for you?" Hearing Mo Li's arrogant tone, you didn't get angry. He is still a child, and you had no intention of provoking him.

However, you decided to give him a complete childhood.

"With your talent, perhaps it may be enough. Alright, come with me to my territory."

"Okay."

While saying that, you led Mo Li towards your territory.

As the distance from the central ghost land increased, you felt that something significant was about to happen in the ghost tribe.

Because your territory is the most remote area within the ghost tribe for no apparent reason, you couldn't understand why the Ghost King would send his son to this kind of ghostly place.

While you were contemplating, you suddenly noticed Mo Li's small action. When passing by a bush, he accurately caught a wild rabbit hiding in it and then began plucking its fur one by one.

Listening to the rabbit's screams, Mo Li's eyes were filled with delight.

Seeing this scene, you weren't particularly shocked. Cruelty is inherent in ghost tribes, especially considering that Mo Li is a newly born child. The malice within him is pure and without any disguise.

You took the rabbit from Mo Li's hand, snapped its neck, and gave him a release.

You had no intention of teaching Mo Li a lesson because you knew that ghosts are inherently wicked.

Teaching them would only invite trouble upon yourself.

Observing your actions, Mo Li looked at you in confusion.

You calmly said, "When it's time to take a life, don't hesitate. If you develop such a habit, it will only harm you in future battles."

Upon hearing your advice, Mo Li nonchalantly spread his hands and said, "You are my teacher now, and you are stronger than me. I will listen to you. When I surpass you in the future, I won't follow these rules."

As he spoke, Mo Li stared at you with eager eyes.

Understanding his intention, you realize that Mo Li saw you as his prey and wanted to kill you with his own hands.

You didn't bother thinking about why Mo Li had turned against you because you knew the hate of the ghosts towards someone had no reason.

Most of the time, they simply want to kill you.

Realizing this, you decided to practice harder and strive not to be caught up by Mo Li.

Soon, you brought Mo Li back to your territory.

Mo Li looked at the harmonious atmosphere within your territory, which was completely different from the Ghost King's territory.

He felt surprised because he had never seen such a peaceful place before.

Following that, a strong feeling of nausea struck him, as he couldn't tolerate this kind of place and wanted to destroy it.

"Your Majesty, follow me. I will take you to the place where you will go in the future."

You saw Mo Li being dumbfounded and didn't immediately notice his strange behavior, thinking that it was his first time seeing such a place and that he was broadening his horizons.

"Okay," Mo Li replied coldly.]

[Then, you brought Mo Li to the military camp. You intended to let him learn how to manage the army first, while also experiencing the lifestyle of the lower-level soldiers and understanding the difficulties they face. This will help him better manage the ghost tribe in the future.]

[Looking at the orderly army in front of him, Mo Li was a bit confused about your intentions.

You explained your thoughts to Mo Li, "Your Highness, you already have the ability. You just need to learn how to be a good emperor.

Managing the army is just one of the many skills you need to master. Instead of me telling you, it's better for you to personally experience this lifestyle.

Of course, your strength is strong, so your training will be different from regular soldiers."]

[Upon hearing your words, Mo Li's eyes filled with excitement because he could sense that the killing intent emanating from every demon in this military camp was several times stronger than that of normal demons.

It was a rather terrifying army, but he liked this place.]

[Six days later, Mo Li was sweating profusely from the intense training.

After observing him for these few days, you found that Mo Li's physical strength was not particularly strong. He couldn't handle training four times as much as the average soldier.

It seemed that Mo Li's power didn't come from his attributes but from innate powerful skills.]

[During these six days, you also witnessed how formidable the ghost tribes with imperial-level potential can be.

Through your rigorous training, Mo Li's level directly increased by one.

The speed at which he improved in these six days was almost impossible in your eyes.

The soldiers in your military camp became even more diligent in their training after seeing Mo Li, a little child, surpass them multiple times in training tasks.]

[After a month, you reduced Mo Li's training load, much to his dissatisfaction. He angrily exclaimed, "Why are you reducing my training? Are you afraid that I will surpass you in strength?"]

["It's not that. You are still a child.

Advanced demons like the ghost tribe need appropriate training during their youth.

Overly harsh training will deplete your potential.

While you may experience rapid improvement now, damaging your foundation will make it difficult for you to progress in the future, and you may not reach your full potential," you replied.]
