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

The little white catgirl closed her eyes, swayed unconsciously, and finally fell asleep. Her petite body leaned forward slightly and rested on Yege's shoulder before she fell fast asleep.

Ye Ge smiled slightly, picked up the white-haired kitten, placed her on the sofa in the room, and covered her with a blanket.

......

the next day.

10:15 am.

The train is about to arrive at its destination.

Cang Feng, Long Ying, Nangong Qiuyue, Gao Shenxue, and Xia Xiyao sat by the train window, finalizing their route for the upcoming mission.

"Most of the creatures in the Hundred Souls Forest are relatively docile. As long as you don't disturb them or intrude on their nesting grounds, there shouldn't be any major danger."

Cang Feng pointed to the route on the map: "This route is one I devised after carefully studying the map. We'll just follow this route in a bit. This escort mission will take us about three days to travel through the forest before we reach the Spirit Demon Kingdom. You must follow my and the captain's instructions along the way, understand?"

Everyone nodded: "We understand."

"Pay special attention when we set up camp in the forest at night. Do not wander around, especially if you smell any unusual wild animal scents. Do not approach them, as they may be the territory marked by strange beasts."

As Cang Feng spoke, he looked at Nangong Qiuyue and said, "Especially you, Nangong, as a poor student, you must behave yourself and not do anything stupid."

"Teacher, stop targeting me alone!" Nangong Qiuyue waved her hand angrily, "You can't listen to that Ye Ge's nonsense! When it comes to serious matters, I'm not stupid at all! I'm a student certified by the principal as a prodigy!"

Cang Feng: "Who told you to be so ignorant about the myriad races? Go back and brush up on your knowledge."

"Oh..." Nangong Qiuyue lowered her eyes meekly, looking aggrieved, "I know..."

Xia Xiyao looked around and said, "Speaking of which, we're almost at the station, why hasn't Xiao Ye come out yet? Is he still sleeping in his room?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Shenxue slowly stood up: "I'll go wake him up."

"Me too! Me too!" Xia Xiyao said with a giggle. "I also want to experience what it's like to wake Xiaoye up."

"...No need, I'm here." Ye Ge's voice came from over.

Everyone turned around and saw that Ye Ge had indeed walked out of the carriage, followed closely by a white-haired, cat-eared catgirl loli girl.

"This is..." Xia Xiyao paused for a moment, then her eyes lit up: "Wow! Is this Lingling?!" Then she pounced on her like a little girl seeing her favorite doll in a shopping mall.

"!" As if in a stress response, Bai Xueling hurriedly grabbed Ye Ge's clothes from behind and hid behind him. Xia Xiyao moved to the left, and she moved to the right, pulling him back and forth.

But in the end, the helpless little kitten girl was hugged tightly by the enthusiastic Xia Xiyao and cuddled up close...

"Wow...so cute! Lingling is even prettier than I imagined after turning into a catgirl!"

Ye Ge smiled helplessly: "Alright, Xi Yao, we're almost at the Great Wall. Get ready to get off the bus."

"Wait, wait, let me hug her again..." Xia Xiyao said excitedly.

Bai Xueling was on the verge of tears, utterly powerless to resist.

Unfortunately, she couldn't resist the temptation when she was young and ate a lot of the snacks that Xia Xiyao brought her.

How could we possibly resort to violence to resist now?

As the Empress of the Spirit Demon Clan, Bai Xueling possesses the pride befitting an empress. However, she also harbors hidden weaknesses...

That means they are particularly prone to being soft-hearted!

Back in her childhood, she had used her cat paws to resist Xia Xiyao, but every time she saw the disappointed and sad expression on the innocent little girl's face after being rejected, her heart would immediately soften...

Bai Xueling turned her head and gave Ye Ge a pleading look.

But Ye Ge simply shrugged, indicating that he couldn't help her.

'hateful! ’

'This incompetent master! He can't even protect his contracted spirit pet!'

Bai Xueling thought to himself, puffing out his cheeks.

At that moment, the train's announcement system came on: "Dear passengers, we are about to arrive at Gate K3 of the Second Great Wall. Passengers who need to disembark, please proceed to the designated alighting point..."

"Let's go." Cang Feng pushed up his glasses, picked up his briefcase, and stood up. "It's time to get off the bus."

"Have we reached the Great Wall yet?" Nangong Qiuyue craned her neck to look out the car window. "Where is it?"

Cang Feng raised his chin and pointed into the distance: "Look."

A long black line gradually appeared on the southern horizon.

As the train approached at top speed, the black line gradually became clearer and taller.

That is the true face of the Great Wall: a wall hundreds of meters high, with an exterior that looks like a completely black metal structure, and the texture of each brick is clearly visible. From a distance, it looks like a long, winding mountain.

Only when you get close can you truly feel its grandeur!

Ye Ge also felt a surge of energy.

He had seen the Great Wall countless times in the game.

But when you actually see it with your own eyes, you can't help but be amazed by its magnificence!

Majestic, imposing, magnificent, and awe-inspiring... these words are insufficient to describe this super-long, million-mile-long wall in a precarious situation. It is simply a super-upgraded version of the Great Wall of Earth in its previous life.

What does a 100-meter-high city wall mean? That's almost the height of a 25-story building!

And to construct something of this height, the material used was the expensive pink Soul Steel! It's hard to imagine how much manpower and resources were spent building this thing!

"I never expected it to be so spectacular..." Nangong Qiuyue's mouth dropped open slightly as she exclaimed, "It's amazing..."

Cang Feng said calmly, "The Great Wall on the third line of defense is actually more magnificent. It is three hundred meters high and truly resembles a mountain."

Unfortunately, when everyone took the high-speed train out of the Great Wall, they went through an underground tunnel and missed the chance to see what the third line of defense of the Great Wall looked like.

The other passengers on the train didn't react much. These adventurers and scavengers had been living in the wilderness for years and were used to such things. Their faces were mostly numb.

One of the wandering samurai had a gloomy expression. His gaze fell on the Night Watchman insignia on Nangong Qiuyue's black uniform, and his eyes immediately became even colder.

His calloused and grimy hands gently rested on the hilt of his greatsword, as he prepared to draw it.

However, another equally filthy hand pressed down on him, and another, older, wandering warrior beside him shook his head at him.

"..." The young wandering samurai finally regained his composure, loosened his grip on the hilt of his sword, and pulled it back.

Night Song caught a glimpse of the wandering samurai's movements out of the corner of his eye, and seemed to be deep in thought.
