Thinking of this, the last trace of absurdity and restraint in Yun You’s heart completely dissipated. She straightened her back, and the confidence born of strength intertwined with the complex emotions she had towards Deng, forming a unique aura.
She was no longer a little girl looking up to legends but had beco a new character in this grand tale.
Deng seed to sense the subtle change in Yun You’s mindset. A barely noticeable look of satisfaction flashed in her eyes, and the curve of her lips deepened.
She lazily leaned back in her chaise longue, her tail tip swaying comfortably, and waved at the Maid Chief serving the Master of All Changes.
"Alright, little Yun You is acquainted now. Are the snacks ready? Bring over the chess set. I want to have a ga with my daughter."
At this, Yun You was montarily taken aback. She wanted to say she couldn’t play, but seeing Deng’s playful spirit was high, she didn’t know how to refuse and could only sit down as invited.
And so... between this peculiar mother-daughter pair, their first match began...
...
Afterwards, Yun You slowly got used to library life.
Unlike the imagined luxury, the "hostead" area Deng created was remarkably simple compared to earthly nobility’s extravagant feasts and never-ending celebrations.
All three als were plain, cooked with care by the once God of Balance, managing a few servants, using purified ingredients simulated within the library.
The als were balanced with at and vegetables, and the taste was impeccable, though it typically remained within the realm of "ho-cooked deliciousness."
The daily routine followed an almost rigid pattern, with the massive star chart do simulating sunrise and sunset. When "nightfalls," the soft lights would dim, signaling for rest.
Yun You had her own spacious and comfortable room, with a view of a flowing galaxy illusion outside the window.
There were no endless battle alarms, no acid rain hamring on shelters, no unceasing neon lights of Nest City’s lower levels.
Everything was enveloped in peace and tranquility, as if the outside world’s fires of war... the shadow of Monarch’s world-ending chaos were rely distant past events.
This calm was initially alien, even suffocating to Yun You, who was used to struggling at the edge of life and death.
But soon, she began to adapt and slowly got to know the "inhabitants" here.
Besides the notable butler and Maid Chief, the library housed various beings.
There was a bard with a withered face, holding a broken lyre, softly singing lost epics, supposedly the last recorder of a long-destroyed civilization.
There was a silent, towering Warrior who spent his days polishing a massive broken sword. The aura of nace around him had once made even Yun You take a second look, yet now he was as quiet as a rock.
There were also several other entities, each with distinct auras, emitting powerful presence. So grew weary of conflict, so sought breakthroughs, and so, like the God of Balance, sought refuge, ultimately gathering here to beco residents or staff of the library.
They always maintained politeness and a slight but perceptible respect towards Yun You.
Besides them, there were so native Death Domain new humans, whom Deng created using the library’s original life force. So had skin with faint starlight patterns, others had eyes like spinning nebulae, and so could even briefly rge into the light and shadow of the books.
They were naturally curious and close to Yun You, their "elder sister." A little girl nad "Shuo Guang" particularly liked to cling to Yun You, asking her to tell stories of the outside world...
Days went by slowly like this.
Yun You thought she would live this way until a century passed.
But soon...
She realized that the opportunity for change was coming.
