But he still smiled dismissively, thinking that Jasmine was making a fuss over nothing, and that she was enjoying watching it while not letting me see it.

He seemed completely unsophisticated.

"So many jade feet..."

"A beautiful woman with delicate features, graceful posture, cherry lips, almond eyes, and fair skin..."

"Is this really... possible to write?"

"Will this work?"

Miss Jasmine stammered shyly; in those few short glances, her world seemed to have been reshaped.

So many adjectives?

I'd like to see.

Ryan seemed slightly curious.

He peeked through his fingers.

Just as Jasmine said, the illustrations in the guide were absolutely stunning:

A dozen pairs of white jade feet encircled the willow branch body. The cicada had two pairs of moth antennae on its head, and its eyes were made of almonds. Its skin was made of ice, and one could see the jade bones faintly visible through it.

Ryan was even more excited after his fleeting glimpse.

Miss Jasmine was just quite frightened by this indescribable ancient god.

Just looking at this thing is enough to evaporate your rationality.

"Did you peek just now?" Jasmine sighed helplessly. "I told you not to look... It's too late to regret it now..."

She was interrupted before she could finish speaking.

"This is way too astringent!" Ryan said.

"..."

After a long silence, Jasmine rolled her eyes.

She was utterly disillusioned with Ryan's XP.

So, is the rumor about this kid and the Zerg Queen true or false?

Ryan took the book and read it carefully from beginning to end. The more he studied it, the more he admired it. The monster was not simple to design, taking into account both aesthetics and strength.

The jade stones that make up the feet and bones are special magic-absorbing stones that can render most magical attacks ineffective; this is all the work of the dwarves.

The cicada's head combined with the moth's antennae greatly enhances her ability to locate and perceive enemies.

With cherry lips and almond eyes, she also possesses Druid techniques, blending seamlessly with plants and using photosynthesis to supply magic.

Fast target acquisition, no mana bar, immune to magic.

He's practically the perfect dung monster.

Who researched this little gadget?

After looking at the illustrations, Ryan quickly went to the accompanying text description to check the intellectual property rights of this thing.

This thing is called 'Beautiful Chimera', a monster created by the author of this book that combines eroticism and intensity.

It's called a production guide, but it's actually a guide to producing monsters, with a tutorial on how to create them.

With this "Production Manual," we can mass-produce these powerful monsters.

No wonder those sorcerers outside are so eager to read this book.

Under Miss Jasmine's scornful gaze, Ryan put the book into his backpack.

"Do you really like this style?" Jasmine asked desperately.

"Miss Jasmine."

Ryan sternly criticized Jasmine's filthy thoughts.

"This is clearly a groundbreaking work on the creation of monsters, containing a wealth of profound knowledge. Even though it is an ancient book from hundreds of years ago, it still has guiding significance for the academic community today."

"Only an elf whose mind is full of filth would regard it as a filthy yellow book."

"In this sacred temple of knowledge, you are insulting the ancient sages and worthies."

"That's really something."

When Ryan accused her so righteously, Jasmine's ears drooped, and she looked like a wilted eggplant.

Ryan's remarks were so confident and righteous that she couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal.

Could it be... that my own thoughts are truly filthy?

Ryan was satisfied after he finished disciplining Jasmine.

She picked up another ancient book inside, titled "The Secret Codex of Mental Magic," and continued to study it diligently.

Seeing that Ryan was watching intently, Jasmine pursed her lips, trying to salvage her image and prove that she wasn't an elf with a mind full of filth:

"So, is this also a groundbreaking work on spiritual magic?"

She asked.

"No, this one is genuinely pornographic."

Ryan watched with great interest:

"Writing hypnotic magic."

-

After some commotion, the "Mental Magic Codex" was confiscated by an enraged Jasmine.

Ryan was once again certain of his previous deduction: the Elf Lady was definitely keeping it for herself.

All in all, this trip was very fruitful.

This book alone, "The Production Guide Secrets," is worth the trip.

Ryan couldn't help but wonder who the original owner of this library was, given the wide range of fields he was involved in, even delving deeply into niche areas like hypnosis and discipline.

He is definitely not an ordinary person.

Perhaps it was the Great Mage Mofei of the Straw Family, or perhaps it was a great lord of the Lu Ming family.

Or perhaps it belongs to the curse faction.

An apostle of a certain cult of curses?

Or perhaps a powerful witch?

The more books you read, the more questions you have.

Unable to find an answer, Ryan continued deeper into the library. Since the outer books contained a divine book like the "Secret Manual of Production," there must be even more powerful forbidden manuals hidden inside.

Although more than a hundred years have passed, the mechanisms deep within the library are still terrifying.

First, they walked along the narrow roof beams, while arrows were constantly being fired from the opposite side.

Next, they had to dodge the massive iron ball that was hurtling down.

There are also countless hidden mechanisms and traps.

The most terrifying part is having to dodge the magical attacks of the Ash Death Warlocks on the roof beams.

Fortunately, Ryan is experienced and a pro at clearing levels.

As he walked, he threw yellow books forward, and the swarming gray death sorcerers were smashed into bone fragments by various traps.

The traps ahead have been spotted, so Ryan and Jasmine can avoid them.

After many hardships, they finally reached the deepest part of the library.

A cleverly crafted book box is enshrined here, which can only be opened by unraveling the three key fragments.

"Hmm, let me think... this is really interesting..."

When Ryan saw the questions in the practice area, he immediately got excited.

Ryan was caught in a frenzy of brainstorming, beginning to utilize his superhuman intelligence:

"These patterns depict three animals, perhaps indicating that we need to find three hidden auspicious beasts of wisdom. To determine the location of these hidden beasts, we must first decipher these three coded messages..."

He had just made a breakthrough when he heard a click from the side.

The book box was successfully cracked by Miss Jasmine's super strength.

Ryan turned and stared at Jasmine expressionlessly:

"You're making us feel like we've accomplished nothing!"

Chapter 140 The Terrifying [Forbidden Book of the Night]

"Lian Ryan."

Jasmine exclaimed excitedly, "Look! There's something in the book box!"

Looking at the broken mechanical box, Ryan felt terrible.

Hopefully, the ancient books inside will lift my spirits.

Ryan was quite confident about this.

The forbidden techniques displayed on the bookshelves outside are already incredibly powerful, but this one, sealed neatly in the box, must be an exceptionally terrifying forbidden manual.

[Forbidden Books of the Night]

Ryan's expression turned serious as soon as he saw the book title, and he stopped joking around with Miss Jasmine.

The name itself is taboo.

As for curses, 'night' itself is a mystical symbol, and countless esoteric rituals are related to night, the most famous being the 'Goddess of Night', the Witch of Death.

Could it be that this book was written by one of the Death Witch's apostles?

Ryan turned to the title page and saw a warning written in ancient coded language:

Do not read this book late at night; those who do so will bear the consequences.

It means you can't open this book at night, otherwise you'll have to bear the consequences yourself.

Upon hearing this, Ryan raised an eyebrow slightly.

Unlike those pornographic books out there, this book seems to be a truly 'banned book,' the real deal from legend.

Forbidden books are cursed relics in themselves; their very existence invites disaster.

Is it wrong to read this book at night?

Ryan was once again caught up in a frenzied brainstorming session, beginning to utilize his superhuman intelligence.

Is it because the curse of the Silver Solar Eclipse is most intense at night?

What terrible consequences will result if we disobey...?

When it came to life and death, Ryan's expression turned serious.

Will it summon a demon, or unleash the curse sealed within the book?

Or the most terrifying outcome: if you open it at night, you'll die?

Countless classic cases flashed through Ryan's mind. He took a deep breath and glanced anxiously out the window. The sunlight was bright, and the weather was fine and sunny.

Opening it now shouldn't pose too much of a danger.

He exchanged a glance with Jasmine and nodded.

Having mentally prepared himself, Ryan opened the first page of "The Forbidden Book of the Night".

"Oh my god."

"terrible."

It was... Ryan and Jasmine both gasped in shock.

This is definitely a taboo that you absolutely cannot watch late at night; if you do, you'll die.

The Forbidden Book of the Night prominently listed the following:
