Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

[Grade 4, Class 3, Group of Three: Ye Ge, Gao Shenxue, Xia Xiyao.]

[Completed Rank D Mission: Investigate smugglers and rescue hostages (formerly Rank E mission, rank changed)]

[Reward for completing the task: 300 credits]

After returning to school, Night Song submitted their mission in the school's mission hall.

Their task details are displayed on the main screen.

Many students, as well as some teachers and staff in the hall, immediately exclaimed in amazement.

"They're only in fourth grade, and they've already completed a D-level mission?"

"A D-rank mission, that should be at the beginner to intermediate level difficulty, right?"

"Huh? It's that Ye Ge again. I heard that during their class mission last time, they went to the wild to collect spiritual plants, but they encountered a myriad of strange beasts from the Yellow Realm, which was extremely dangerous! In the end, the whole class single-handedly fought their way through..."

"That's Ye Ge, the son of the Night City Lord... Sigh, I can't believe it. Such a well-behaved and fair-skinned child is actually a demonized mutant..."

"Yes, it's such a pity..."

Why do you say it's a pity?

"You don't know, even if the children of demonized people have excellent grades, they will definitely be suppressed, won't receive much attention, and won't get many cultivation resources. It's an unspoken rule..."

"..."

"Night Song, stop right there!" a voice suddenly rang out.

Ye Ge was about to go out to eat with Gao Shenxue and Xia Xiyao when she suddenly heard a shout behind her and turned around.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Jiang Xiaoming.

Two classmates followed behind him.

Ye Ge glanced at him: "Is there something you need?"

"Hehe, I've actually completed another D-rank mission. Not bad at all. You truly deserve to be my lifelong nemesis!"

Jiang Xiaoming raised a wooden longsword, pointed it at Ye Ge, and shouted, "Draw your sword! This is my 308th challenge to you, and this time I will definitely defeat you in front of Xue'er!"

"..." Ye Ge gave a wry smile: "Next time, I'm busy today."

"Hmm? Do you look down on me?"

Jiang Xiaoming pointed his sword and snorted, "Let me tell you, this time is different from last time. This time I learned a new sword technique. My tutor said it's specifically designed to deal with you!"

As he spoke, he glanced at his classmates behind him and said, "You two, you probably think I can win too, right?"

A chubby boy reached his big hand into the bag of potato chips, grabbed a handful, and stuffed it into his mouth. He chewed it with a "crunch crunch" sound, shaking his head as he said in a silly voice, "No, I don't think you can beat Ye Ge."

Jiang Xiaoming's face immediately fell: "...Boosting the morale of others while diminishing our own? As a younger brother, how can you have so little confidence in your older brother?"

"You're not my older brother."

"Do you still want to eat French fries, potato chips, hamburgers, fried chicken, and chicken drumsticks?"

"think."

"Then what did you call me?"

"Big brother."

Can I win?

"can."

Ye Ge & Gao Shenxue & Xia Xiyao: "..."

"Did you hear that, Ye Ge? They all think I can win too. You're doomed to lose today." Jiang Xiaoming snorted, pointing his wooden sword at Ye Ge.

Ye Ge sighed softly, "Then let's go."

"Where's your sword?"

"It's okay, let's leave it like this."

Jiang Xiaoming's eyes lit up: "Then I won't hold back, take this!"

With that, Jiang Xiaoming, wielding a wooden sword, charged towards Ye Ge: "Sword Technique—Phantom Sword..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Ge casually raised two fingers.

A jet-black crow flew away.

The crow swooped down at incredible speed and crashed into Jiang Xiaoming's feet.

"Ouch!" Before Jiang Xiaoming could even finish shouting the name of his move, he lost his balance and collapsed face-first into Ye Ge's arms, performing a full prostration...

"You...are...so...despicable..."

Night Song had already turned and walked away.

Xia Xiyao squatted down in front of Jiang Xiaoming and stuck out her tongue: "308th attempt failed. Good luck going back home!"

Jiang Xiaoming: "......"

......

On the high platform.

A middle-aged man who looked like a school principal and another young male teacher stood there, looking into the distance.

"This is the third time Ye Ge has completed a D-level mission, isn't it?" the principal asked.

“Yes, Principal Jiang,” the male teacher said. “He could easily complete a D-level mission in elementary school. With his abilities, he could easily skip to the junior high school. In fact, I think he has the ability to enter the elite inner division of the War Academy!”

The principal paused for a moment: "But he is from a demonized family."

"This..." the male teacher quickly said, "Although Ye Ge is from a demonized family, this child has never done anything wrong. He's always been an excellent student academically, fluent in several languages ​​of various races; he's also an absolute genius in cultivation, always ranking first in the school. With the threat from other races looming, we need talent like him..."

Principal Jiang said expressionlessly, "You can know a person's face but not their heart. On the surface, it's one thing, but who knows what they're thinking? Besides, he has the heart of a devil."

The male teacher grew anxious: "How could that be? He's just a child, how could he have so many bad intentions..."

Principal Jiang glanced at him and said, "Then you're wrong. Children are the ones with the most bad intentions."

The male teacher opened his mouth, but was speechless.

“Teacher Zhang, I know you are their martial arts teacher.” Principal Jiang said, “I remember that he once injured you during martial arts class in the first grade.”

"That was because I made him use his full strength; it had nothing to do with him," Teacher Zhang said helplessly.

"..." Principal Jiang paused for a moment and said, "Never mind, I didn't intend to do anything to him anyway."

Upon hearing this, Teacher Zhang breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Principal Jiang thought to himself that the Ye family was a demonized family. Although they had always been suppressed openly and secretly by other nobles in the empire, as well as many "orthodox" guilds, sects, and companies, they were still a powerful family with many strong members.

Those powerful noble families, guilds, and sects, united, could target the Ye family, but he, a mere principal of a branch school's elementary department, couldn't afford to offend such a behemoth...

The imperial nobility ranking is: Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount, Baron. Although Viscount Night Owl is only the fourth rank, he is still a nobleman.

Moreover, Ye Quan, the old man of the Ye family who has already retired and gone into seclusion, is a powerful expert at the Heavenly Revelation Realm!

As long as he is alive, no one in the Southern Territory will dare to go too far against the Ye family.
