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

Ye Ge had to admire Bao Bingqing's eloquence.

No wonder he could become the behind-the-scenes boss of Dark City and command a group of wilderness thugs despite being an ordinary person.

After these words, not only were all suspicions about Ye Ge dispelled, but the blame was also directly shifted to the Ye family's mortal enemy—Duke Wang En!

"I have a question."

Long Ying then looked at Ye Ge: "Then why are you here, Ye Ge? Why are you in Qu Qu's room? And judging from your expression, you don't seem surprised. Did you already know this was a pre-planned conspiracy?"

Ye Ge smiled slightly: "Yes, I already knew. Bao Bingqing had already confessed to me before."

"why?"

"Because I can save his daughter."

Long Ying was taken aback: "You can save her?" She glanced at Qu Qu beside her: "Her current condition... the demonic energy has penetrated deep into her bone marrow and heart. She might die at any moment..."

“She could completely lose her human rationality at any moment and mutate into an unspeakable dark creature.” Night Song continued her words, then paused and added, “Moreover, the dark blood has completely transformed her body. A large number of genetic mutations and evolutions have occurred within Ququ’s body. Her demonic cells have undergone countless transformations, reaching a terrifying level. Once she mutates into a dark creature, she will transform into an unprecedentedly powerful monster.”

“If she really goes that far…” Ye Ge said in a deep voice, “then she will probably be a terrifying force that none of us can stop, bringing unimaginable disasters and deaths to the human race.”

"..."

Long Ying looked at Qu Qu on the bed with a complicated expression, silent, seemingly lost in thought.

Ye Ge smiled faintly: "Are you thinking that since we know she will turn into a monster, we should just kill her before she becomes a menace?"

Bao Bingqing's expression changed instantly.

Long Ying's expression also turned very ugly, and she said in a deep voice, "Ye Ge, what kind of person do you take me for?"

Ye Ge didn't respond to her question, but continued, "In fact, even if you wanted to do that, it would be impossible. The dark microorganisms in her body initially resided in her body, using her life force to reproduce and evolve, while helping her modify her body's gene cells. They had a symbiotic relationship with Qu Qu."

"But now, these dark microorganisms have evolved to the point that they can survive on their own without relying on Ququ's life force. So, contrary to what you think, if you kill Ququ now, the dark microorganisms will completely take over Ququ's body and instantly transform her into a dark monster."

"..."

The expressions on everyone's faces were complicated.

I never imagined it would turn out like this...

Jiang Xiaoming asked nervously, "Is it that scary... Ye Ge, are you really confident you can save this little girl?"

“I can’t save her, but I have a friend who can,” Ye Ge said. “She has developed an inhibitor that will allow Qu Qu to control the demonic power that causes genetic mutations in her body, and she is on her way here.”

Jiang Xiaoming breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good..."

Long Ying looked at Ye Ge with an indescribable expression.

Did Ye Ge realize that this was all a conspiracy and a trap the moment he entered Dark City?

In such an unfavorable situation, we must turn the impossible into possible, turn the enemy to our side, find the weaknesses in their character, and find a way to break the deadlock.

Long Ying's petite body shivered slightly.

A strange sense of fear welled up inside me...

I had this feeling before, in the simulated war scenarios...

It was an indescribable sense of powerlessness.

In an instant, Long Ying's mind was filled with self-doubt.

I consider him my biggest rival and my biggest target...

But if he becomes an enemy in the future, is it really possible for me to defeat him?

"The friend you just mentioned," Bao Bingqing asked Ye Ge nervously, "when will she arrive?"

“I have already sent someone to escort her here on our Ye family’s dragon eagle mount.” Ye Ge’s eyes darted around, and after thinking for a moment, he said, “From the mainland to here… if nothing unexpected happens, she should arrive within a day.”

"crow--!"

At that moment, a cloud of black mist suddenly appeared beside Ye Ge's shoulder.

A jet-black crow landed on Ye Ge's shoulder, its beak slightly open, as if it were saying something to him.

At this moment, the little cat also emerged from Ye Ge's collar.

Bai Xueling sniffed hard with her little nose, her eyes turning serious.

She smelled something...

A smell she utterly loathed!

It's right here!

Ye Ge squinted and turned to look out the window.

A blurry, dark shadow hung upside down outside the room's window, appearing and disappearing intermittently...

"Who's out there?!"

Instructor Scarface turned his head sharply, his eyes darkening, clearly he had also noticed.

When the dark figure saw that Ye Ge and the others had discovered him, he suddenly fled at lightning speed!

"Want to run?"

Ye Ge said coldly, "Xue'er, grab him!"

“Okay.” Gao Shenxue took out a strangely shaped glove.

"Tier 1 Mechanical Skill - Mechanical Claw!"

Swish!

A giant mechanical hand shot out with lightning speed and shattered the windowpane with a single punch!

After escaping through the window, the dark figure attempted to glide by unfolding its cloak.

However, to his surprise, a strange mechanical claw chased after him from behind, and it was even faster than him!

"What is this..."

The black shadow was stunned for a moment.

The next moment, the mechanical claw gripped the back of his collar tightly.

He pulled it back sharply!

"ah......!!"

Gao Shenxue retracted the telescopic mechanical claw.

They forcefully dragged the dark figure, which was trying to fly away, back into the room.

The dark figure crashed back into the room with a "thud," rolling several times on the floor covered in shards of glass and blood before finally rolling right to Ye Ge's feet.

Night Song: "..."

The shadowy figure: "..."

"Are you from the Dark Race?" Night Song looked down at him and smiled. "Enjoying eavesdropping? You want to run away after you've heard it all?"

The dark race member suddenly sprang to his feet, did a backflip, and retreated to a corner of the room, watching Ye Ge, Gao Shenxue, Long Ying, and the others warily.

This dark race member looked almost exactly like a human, but his skin was exceptionally fair, even better than a woman's. He was also handsome, with short blond hair, purple pupils, and black lip gloss, giving him a sinister and alluring appearance.

"To be precise, you should be a vampire from the dark races, right?" Night Song sneered. "You're a scout in the vampire army? I didn't expect you to have already infiltrated Dark City."
