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

"Because there is something very important I need to report to you."

"what's up?"

"Young Master Ye Ge of the Ye family has already reached a business cooperation agreement with Bao Bingqing," Liang Kuan said slowly. "In the future, the Ye family will help Bao Bingqing introduce the Dark Blood to the mainland, and at the same time, the Ye family will also provide a lot of financial support for the research of the Dark Blood."

Long Ying's expression changed instantly.

"Are you serious?"

The girl immediately turned her head and stared at him, asking.

Liang Kuan said, "These past few days, you must have seen how Bao Bingqing has treated Ye Ge. He's treated him like an honored guest, showing him around the entire Dark City, his factory, his laboratory... How is this how you treat a prisoner? In fact, with your intelligence, even if I didn't say anything, you should have already noticed the problem."

"..."

Long Ying didn't speak; she felt utterly confused.

Is that really true?

Although Liang Kuan's guess was correct, she had already sensed that something was amiss in the past few days.

However, Long Ying still found it hard to accept when she actually heard Liang Kuan say that.

It's not just that they can't accept that Night Song betrayed the empire.

The Blood of Darkness—it's something that has harmed countless people, and Long Ying knows it all too well.

Night Song... is she really that kind of person?

"What's wrong, Your Highness?" Liang Kuan noticed the sadness in Long Ying's eyes. "You seem quite surprised?"

"I..." Long Ying didn't know what was wrong with her. She felt a lump in her throat and slowly said after a long while, "It was indeed a bit unexpected."

"This is not surprising. After all, Night Song is a mutant with demonic genes. Their family is known for its cold-blooded cruelty and bloodthirstiness. Their ruthless methods are even feared by the dark races. It is entirely expected that they would do such a thing."

Liang Kuan seemed to understand something: "Your Highness Long Ying was deceived by the appearance of that little demon."

Long Ying: "......"

“This matter is extremely serious. Once the Dark Blood flows into the mainland in large quantities, the consequences will be unimaginable, and countless innocent people will suffer.” Liang Kuan said, taking out a cybernetic watch and a spatial ring and handing them to Long Ying: “This is Your Highness’s communication watch and ring. Your Highness should try to contact the court as soon as possible. Facts have proven that the Ye family is ultimately a scourge to the human race and can never coexist with us ordinary humans.”

Liang Kuan left, while Long Ying sat alone at the table, gazing at the cybernetic watch and spatial ring on it, lost in thought for a long time.

......

“Ha… huh…”

Ye Ge sat up from the head of the bed, yawned deeply, and stretched.

Under the thick blanket beside her, the snow-white little civet cat curled up quietly, its two long, fluffy tails coiled around its body, taking a nap.

Winter is coming, and the temperature is dropping rapidly, getting colder day by day. Naturally, kittens will look for a warmer place, and their owner's bed is the most convenient choice.

At first, the kitten was actually quite reserved.

Unfortunately, she couldn't resist Ye Ge's repeated advances from the bed, and he kept tempting her with his favorite milk...

In the end, the kitten was still tricked into bed by Night Song.

In such cold weather, once inside the blankets, no one wants to get out, not even a golden-quality twin-tailed snow spirit cat with the potential to advance to the Soul Emperor realm.

'Damn it! That cunning and treacherous master! He actually used such despicable means to lure her into his comfort zone!'

Bai Xueling hummed and talked in her sleep, like a cat.

As Yege got up from the bedside, the cold air from outside seeped into the blankets, and the kitten couldn't help but shiver. It subconsciously moved its body slightly, bringing its small body closer to Yege's legs to warm itself.

Ye Ge turned her gaze to the window.

Today is his fourth day in Dark City.

Well, it's time to go back.

It's about time to wrap up the story here.

Ye Ge yawned twice more, feeling sleepy, and prepared to get up.

Just then, a commotion suddenly came from outside, as if a lot of people were gathered together, chattering away.

"What happened?"

Ye Ge went to the window and looked out from the pavilion. He saw a large crowd gathered in a square in Dark City, including Bao Bingqing and Liang Kuan.

Several of Bao Bingqing's subordinates were speaking to him rapidly, while several young men looked furious, their faces flushed and their emotions running high. A few others were wiping away tears, appearing very heartbroken.

Ye Ge didn't know what had happened, but he sniffed the air and suddenly smelled a bloody odor.

"The smell of blood is so strong..."

The night song murmurs softly.

The spirit of calamity flapped its dark wings and flew back to his shoulder, saying in a deep voice, "My lord, I smell the stench of the dead, and more than one or two of them have died."

"Someone died?" Ye Ge narrowed his eyes and immediately turned to leave.

Before leaving, he picked up Bai Xueling, who was sleeping in bed, and put her on his shoulder.

Bai Xueling was fast asleep and had no idea what was happening when Ye Ge grabbed her and dragged her out.

The kitten opened its eyes and meowed at Ye Ge, seemingly complaining about his rough behavior.

But she quickly climbed off Night Song's shoulder and burrowed into his collar, finding a warm refuge again, and then continued to sleep...

Ye Ge went outside and saw that even more people had gathered in the square.

When he got to the front, he finally saw what was going on in the square.

A dozen or so people covered in blood lay sprawled on the ground. Among them were two of Bao Bingqing's trusted lieutenants, Kuangtu and Feilong!

Several elderly men who looked like doctors were examining them, their foreheads covered in sweat, while Liang Kuan stood beside them, raising his hands and displaying his extraordinary healing power.

Judging from the attire of these dozen or so people, they were all hunters under Bao Bingqing's command. They were all seriously injured and lay motionless on the ground. Only the madman was still conscious, but he also had several knife wounds and scratches on his body. Each wound was very deep, and you could almost see the white bone.

Night Song could sense that the wounds were faintly imbued with a dark aura, indicating that the Madman and his companions had clearly been injured by a dark race.

Then Ye Ge used the system to check the Madman's attribute panel and found that his health bar was down to 1%, he was really hanging on by a thread.

And Fat Dragon, along with several other hunters...

After trying to save him for a while with his healing spells, Liang Kuan let out several heavy breaths, clearly having exhausted his strength.

Bao Bingqing immediately asked from the side, "How is it?"

"The madman has been rescued and is out of danger." Liang Kuan paused here, then said, "But Fatty Dragon and several other hunters, I'm afraid they're already..."
