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

"..."

Ye Ge shut her mouth again.

Lan Mi smiled: "But after experiencing two simulated wars, plus this war with the Chu family, you must have quite a few feelings, right?"

“Hmm.” Ye Ge paused, then said calmly, “My biggest takeaway is that leadership means more than just power; it represents responsibility.”

"Because if you fail, everyone under you may die because of you, and it may not just be your subordinates, but also your relatives, friends, and loved ones... Every decision must take the big picture into account. Even a small mistake could cause many people who trust you to die for you. This is a lot of pressure."

Lan Mi never expected that Ye Ge, as the victor of the war, could have so many insights, and that he could gain these insights without losing a single soldier.

This is usually something that the losing side gets.

So, Lan Mi originally arranged for Ye Ge to be at such a great disadvantage in the illusion, hoping that he would fail once.

Lan Mi said, "You know what? Generally speaking, among the young people I've met, if someone your age does something like you, they're probably already incredibly arrogant."

"This is a common ailment among geniuses, and also a common ailment among those who achieve early success. This ailment can last for a very long time, until it disappears after experiencing one or two major setbacks, at which point people will truly see themselves clearly."

"Of all the people I have met in human history, only two do not have this problem. You are one of them, and the other is the former emperor."

“Hmm…” Ye Ge lowered her head.

Lan Mi smiled and poked Ye Ge's cheek with her finger: "What's wrong? Are you blushing and shy because of my praise? You're so cute..."

Night Song: "..."

"A leader needs absolute rationality, and often has to suppress our human nature. All those who have achieved lasting fame in history have done so," Lan Mi said with a deep look in her eyes.

Ye Ge nodded and then said, "By the way, teacher, what about the illusion magic you used that day..."

Lan Mi laughed and said, "You still want me to give you special treatment and let you experience it again?"

Night Song: "Hmm..."

"How greedy of you." Lan Mi took the opportunity to pinch Ye Ge's cheek again: "Unfortunately, it's not possible now. I can only create that kind of illusionary light sphere once every eight years, and it can only last for 24 hours each time. If you want to experience it, you'll have to wait eight years."

Ye Ge thought to herself, "So that's how it is..."

"By the way, how's your development of the new superpower going? Any results?" Lan Mi asked again.

Ye Ge nodded slightly: "Yes, during the sixteen years I spent in the Illusion Arts, I had already completed the development of the new superpower and thoroughly studied its energy patterns. If I want to use this move to combine with other skills in the future, it should be much easier."

"That's good. It seems you really gained a lot in those sixteen years." Lan Mi was very pleased. "Sigh, it's a pity that the opponent was too weak. Such a big advantage was wasted in just sixteen years. They couldn't even let you stay in there for a few more years. You're really useless."

Night Song: "..."

......

after class.

Ye Ge left Lan Mi's bedroom and walked through the War Academy.

At that moment, a beautiful and noble young woman suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his way.

It is a dragon tassel.

The news that Long Ying had returned to the War Academy to resume her studies had already spread, and many well-informed students already knew about it.

At this moment, in the corridor of the building, the girl's elegant temperament was like a bright pearl, attracting everyone's attention wherever she went, and soon many people looked over.

"It's you, Your Highness Longying." Yege smiled. "What brings Your Highness here?"

A gentle breeze lifted Long Ying's long hair, making her breathtakingly beautiful. Her clear eyes gazed calmly at Ye Ge: "I just wanted to see what my future chosen one would look like."

Night Song: "Now, after seeing it, is Your Highness satisfied?"

Long Ying: "If we're just talking about appearance, of course I'm satisfied."

Ye Ge raised an eyebrow: "Oh? I'm quite surprised."

"What's the surprise?"

"Because Your Highness doesn't seem like the kind of girl who would praise someone like that."

“I’m just telling the truth, and I’m never ashamed to tell the truth.”

Long Ying looked at him calmly and said, "Since Father has chosen you for me, I naturally will not question Father's judgment. However, since we have become each other's destined lovers, I would like to learn more about Ye Ge's inner qualities in addition to his appearance."

Ye Ge asked in confusion, "How do you know?"

“Fighting is the best way to understand each other.” Long Ying took a step forward, standing very close to Ye Ge, looking directly into Ye Ge’s eyes: “The academy has a combat training room that is open to the royal family. I want to see what kind of strength my future chosen one has.”

Ye Ge smiled helplessly: "Didn't we already have a competition during the open class?"

It seems that, without a doubt, the defeat in the simulated battle during the open class dealt a blow to this proud prince.

However, her pride as a royal prodigy made her resentful, so this little girl wanted to get her revenge again...

Long Ying's pupils contracted: "You knew that the person you fought against in that illusionary simulated war was me?"

Long Ying was very puzzled.

Even when she entered the illusion, her appearance within the illusion was that of her in disguise.

This seems to be a spell deliberately cast by Principal Lan Mi.

But if that's the case, why was Yege still able to recognize that the person she was fighting against in the illusion was her?

Did he already see through her disguise during the public lecture?

"Of course I know." Ye Ge shrugged.

Actually, it was because he witnessed Long Ying's supernatural abilities being used on the battlefield during a simulated war.

Long Ying is also a very important character in the game's storyline. How could Ye Ge not recognize her special abilities?

“…” Long Ying gently bit her lip: “There were many other factors involved in the illusion that time. That time it was war. This time I want to fight you one-on-one.”

Ye Ge laughed and said, "Your Highness Long Ying, you are in the Heaven Realm and I am in the Earth Realm. There is a whole major realm difference between us. Even if you could defeat me in a one-on-one fight, there doesn't seem to be anything to be proud of, does it?"

Long Ying fell silent and thought about it, then realized that it seemed to be true...

Ye Ge then changed the subject, saying leisurely, "However, I accept your challenge."

Long Ying paused for a moment, then looked up in surprise.
