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

Ye Bing was surrounded by more than a dozen level eleven Yin priests the moment the melee began.

Ye Bing's icy blue eyes swept across the encirclement, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Ye Ge being choked by Mo Nanxi and pressed against the mountain wall. Her brows furrowed slightly, and the dark wings of the fallen angel behind her fluttered slightly, as if she were about to force her way through.

However, the dozen or so Yin officials seemed to have a tacit understanding. They intertwined their figures and instantly formed a flawless ring-shaped barrier of interwoven soul power, completely blocking her way.

"This person is the Fallen Angel Queen, one of the five strongest among all races," said the leading Yin priest. "She has betrayed the Gene Corporation, so she is no longer on our side. His Holiness the Pope has ordered that we not be careless and to capture her together!"

The other Yin priests: "Yes!"

"..."

Ye Bing's eyes turned completely cold, and a bone-chilling coldness and pitch-black fallen demonic power began to emanate from her body.

"Tch, a bunch of eyesores of insects."

Just then, a scorching and dangerous aura quietly appeared beside her.

Yan Ji had arrived unnoticed, standing back to her, her crimson demonic eyes calmly scanning the gradually closing encirclement.

"Don't worry, there's no need to worry about him." Yan Ji's voice was calm and even, yet it carried a strange certainty. "That guy has never needed anyone to save him. As for you, you should take care of what's in front of you first. No one has ever received such treatment before, with a combined attack from more than a dozen level eleven Yin Divine Sorcerers."

"..." Ye Bing's expression froze instantly, then she said coldly, "Ridiculous, who was worried about him? You didn't think that my actions just now were to help him, did you?"

Yan Ji tilted her head slightly, her crimson eyes glancing at her sideways before turning back, saying indifferently, "The arrogant queen truly lives up to her reputation."

"??? Who are you calling a tsundere queen?"

Ye Bing was a little angry, thinking that Ye Ge must have taught her that title.

Yan Ji remained noncommittal, simply turning her gaze back to the priests in front of her.

Ye Bing's chest heaved as she forcibly suppressed her inexplicable anger. After a moment of silence, she couldn't help but lower her voice and ask, "Why did you say he doesn't need us to save him?"

Yan Ji raised her chin and pointed to Ye Ge in the distance: "Look at his expression. Anyone who knows him a little can guess what's going on."

"...Expression?" Ye Bing observed for a moment, puzzled. "I can't see it..."

"And what do you mean by 'know a little bit about him'? Does Flame Demon Lord mean you know him very well?"

Ye Bing asked with some dissatisfaction, "Why do I sound like I've known you for a long time?"

Yan Ji said slowly, "Sometimes, if two people are compatible, it doesn't take long to understand each other. On the contrary, if they are not compatible, even if they have known each other for several lifetimes, they will never understand each other."

Ye Bing: "......"

......

Seeing that Xia Xiyao and the others had given up, Mo Nanxi turned around and said coldly, "It seems that even your woman can't save you."

Ye Ge shrugged helplessly and smiled: "I wasn't planning on letting them save me anyway. Our current position is so ambiguous, I was worried they'd get jealous if they came over."

Mo Nanxi narrowed her eyes, not expecting Ye Ge to be so relaxed at this moment. She tightened her grip on his neck even more: "Let's see how long you can keep up this stubbornness."

"To make you give up completely, I'll tell you."

"The curse mark I left on your neck is permanent; it will be imprinted on your body for life."

"No, I've suppressed all your power now, you can't break free from me. Even if someone manages to rescue you, I can still control you through this cursed seal later."

"So, from the moment I caught you in one strike and cast the curse mark on you, you were destined to lose."

Night Song: "...Really? That's pretty good."

"However, you have reminded me."

Mo Nanxi raised an eyebrow: "What?"

“I have cursed seals too…” Night Song said with amusement. “Since you insist on getting so close to me, let’s exchange cursed seals.”

"Hmm?" Mo Nanxi's eyes flickered.

"Om-!"

A sudden change occurred!

Deep within Yege's pupils, the texture suddenly changed! Eerie and intricate petal-shaped patterns appeared out of thin air and blossomed!

A vast, pure, and strangely alluring spiritual force, like a long-accumulated undercurrent, suddenly erupted!

"Illusion - Blood Spirit!"

"!?!"

The moment Mo Nanxi met those strange vertical pupils, the world before her eyes was engulfed in endless crimson with a "boom"!

A sharp mental shock, like a red-hot steel needle, pierced fiercely into her tightly guarded sea of ​​consciousness!

'Illusion? ???'

'How is that possible...'

'I've completely suppressed all his power, how could he possibly still use illusion magic?!'

At this moment, besides the petal-shaped patterns around Yege's eyes, the pupil in the center of her eyes had a vertical pupil in the shape of a cat.

Those clearly don't look like human eyes.

Mo Nanxi sensed something and suddenly turned around.

Unbeknownst to them, Bai Xueling's figure had silently floated in mid-air to their side and behind.

The catgirl was expressionless, her hands forming an ancient and strange hand seal in front of her chest. Her vertical pupils, identical to Yege's at this moment and adorned with eerie petal patterns, were coldly staring at her.

At the same time, thick, inky black fog was churning and surging, and countless black crows were gathering from the fog. Their scarlet eyes were fixed on Mo Nanxi, and they were emitting layer upon layer of sharp cries that pierced the soul!

"Caw-caw-caw-!"

"..."

Mo Nanxi instantly understood.

It's a spirit pet!

This catgirl spirit pet can actually project and share her illusion magic power with her master!

It seems that he had already summoned these spirit pets before he took control of Night Song, but they just hadn't shown themselves yet!

'Oh no, I didn't expect to be one step off...' Mo Nanxi thought to herself.

Affected by the illusion, Mo Nanxi's body trembled violently, as if a million bronze bells were ringing in her mind at the same time! The hand gripping Ye Ge's neck involuntarily loosened its grip for a moment, and the tight and flawless suppression field also showed slight disorder.

'Damn it... His mental strength far surpasses that of other peak Soul Emperor level experts. I never expected it to have such a powerful impact on a level 12 Divine Sorcerer like me...'

This fleeting opening was enough for Night Song!

His left hand, which had been suppressed and unable to move, suddenly rose up, spread his five fingers, and pressed precisely on the center of Mo Nanxi's chest, which was covered by the noble papal robes!

A blackish-red light suddenly appeared at the base of the five fingers in the palm!

"Om-!"

A cursed pattern suddenly appeared on her chest!

For the first time, the black hole in Mo Nanxi's blood-red eyes showed violent fluctuations, a mixture of shock and a rare hint of panic!

Oops!
