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

Long Ying felt a tension in her body.

This was the first time someone had ever held her ankle like this...

As the ninth princess of the empire, this was the first time that Long Ying's body had been touched by a man. Even her father, Long Hai, had never touched her, not even when she was an infant.

Long Hai believed that as the emperor of the Qin Empire, holding a child was simply beneath his dignity...

So when Ye Ge naturally rolled up her trouser legs and held her ankles, Long Ying's body trembled slightly involuntarily.

Long Ying's pride made her pretend to be calm, even though all the muscles in her body were tense.

It wasn't until Long Ying glanced into Ye Ge's calm and clear eyes, and saw the golden light gathering in Ye Ge's palm, that her wound felt warm and comfortable, so much so that she almost wanted to let out a soft moan...

'Wow, that's amazing! What kind of ability is that?'

'This doesn't seem to be a typical healing spell...'

Long Ying's body gradually relaxed.

"Is the scimitar poisoned?" Xia Xiyao tilted her head, puzzled. "But didn't I see him lick his blade at the beginning?"

Ye Ge glanced at Gui Qing: "This guy's poison comes from a superhuman poison master. He's probably already full of toxins in his body, so he's not afraid of poisons."

"So what should we do with him now?" Gao Shenxue asked.

“This guy was originally a wanted criminal that the Empire had been pursuing for over a thousand years,” Ye Ge said. “Back then, a Night Watchman captured him and sent him to the Empire’s death row. Unfortunately, for some reason, he suddenly escaped from the Empire’s most secure and deepest death row, as if someone deliberately let him go. For that, dozens of prison guards were all executed by the late Emperor. I suspect that the person who let him go was Duke Wang En, who also signed a soul contract with him. That’s why he served Duke Wang En after that.”

"Who was the night watchman who captured him back then?" Xia Xiyao asked.

“Nangong Shuo.” Ye Ge paused, glancing at Nangong Qiuyue, who was lying unconscious on the ground: “He is Nangong Qiuyue’s father.”

Xia Xiyao: "Oh..."

Night Song: "Now that we've caught him, let's take him back and have the law enforcement officers interrogate him properly. As someone who has served Duke Wang En for so long, I think he'll definitely be able to reveal a lot of secrets."

Xia Xiyao paused for a moment, as if she had seen something, and exclaimed, "Ye Ge! Look!"

"Huh?" Ye Ge suddenly turned around.

Inside the water prison, Gui Qing's hands moved with lightning speed, forming more than a dozen hand seals in just two seconds, before finally raising two fingers.

"Magic - Imitation Transformation Technique!"

With a "bang," Gui Qing transformed into the form of a deep-sea fish.

Taking advantage of the deep-sea fish's ability to withstand high water pressure, he actually broke through the water prison barrier!

Ye Ge's gaze darkened.

Mudd!

That old monster has so many tricks up his sleeve!

After breaking through the water prison, Gui Qing's figure flashed like a ghost to Qu Qu's side.

Bao Bingqing seemed to realize what he was about to do and immediately tried to stop him.

But Gui Qing kicked him away with one kick.

He easily subdued the black python with a single move.

Ye Ge and the others wanted to go up, but it was too late.

"Hehe, don't move."

Gui Qing came to Qu Qu's side, pulled out a triangular bayonet, and held it to Qu Qu's neck.

Ye Ge and the others had no choice but to stop.

"And you call yourself an old monster who's lived for over two thousand years!" Xia Xiyao said angrily, "You fought with a bunch of kids like us, and then you took a teenage girl hostage? Aren't you ashamed?!"

Gui Qing scoffed, "Hmph, I don't care about saving face. As far as I know, people who care too much about their reputation usually don't end up well. The result is what matters!"

"Let her go." Bao Bingqing got up from the ground, leaning on his cane, and said heavily, "We can talk."

"I have nothing to talk about with these brats." Gui Qing said with a sinister smile, looking into Ye Ge's calm eyes: "I have already witnessed the power of this Ye family kid, so I will not let my guard down now."

Night Song: "What do you want?"

"Get out of my way, all of you. Let me go." Gui Qing's triangular bayonet was pressed against Qu Qu's neck. "Otherwise, you can collect this little girl's corpse."

"Are you out of your mind?" Ye Ge said. "You're the one holding her hostage, why should we move aside?"

"Little demon seed, do you think I wouldn't dare to kill you?" Gui Qing's eyes turned cold.

With a slight increase in pressure, the sharp blade sliced ​​through the girl's delicate skin, and bright red blood flowed out.

"Idiot." Ye Ge curled her lip. "Don't you know you're holding a bomb?"

“What…” Gui Qing frowned.

Just finished speaking.

A terrifying, continuous stream of demonic energy surged forth from Ququ's body!

Gui Qing finally realized what was happening.

The cut on Ququ's fair neck looked like a seal that had been torn open.

"Ah—!!!...What is this!???"

Gui Qing let out a terrified wail.

The purple magic emanating from Ququ's body condensed into things resembling tree roots and tentacles.

These semi-solid demonic tentacles pierced through Gui Qing's body, tearing him in two!

And within just a few breaths, the purple demonic energy completely melted and devoured his body!

"hiss......"

Ye Ge gasped in shock at the sight.

Finally... it's here after all...

Ququ slowly stood up, opened her eyes, and her purple pupils resembled the deep and unfathomable universe. Vast and boundless magic power surged out continuously, and demonic tendrils condensed on her body to form a strange and unique purple garment.

Immediately afterwards, the girl's lips parted slightly.

A high-frequency, eerie melody suddenly erupted, an extremely chilling music, like a summons from hell, instantly filling the entire space with oppression and terror. Each note was like a sharp blade, mercilessly slicing through the stillness of the air, making hearts race and breaths quicken.

Ye Ge gritted her teeth and used the Holy Soul Purification Technique to resist, and the surrounding space seemed to begin to distort under the influence of the music.

The others quickly succumbed to the eerie music. Gao Shenxue, Xia Xiyao, Long Ying, and Bao Bingqing covered their ears in pain, but they couldn't withstand the power of the terrifying music. The world before them seemed to have turned into a dark and eerie purple.
