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

......

The meeting is over.

The family members dispersed and returned to their respective homes to prepare for the war.

Night Owl came over to Night Song's side and put an arm around his shoulder: "What's wrong, kid? Feeling pressured? Afraid you can't compete with your older brothers and sisters?"

Ye Ge glanced at him: "What happened?"

"What is it?" Night Owl tried to play dumb.

"You're so young, yet you've already started selecting candidates for the Ye family." Ye Ge said quietly, "And you even used the Blackthorn Legion's token ring as a prize for the assessment, saying that if one day an extreme situation arises and you're not around, this person should be able to step up and take charge... These words shouldn't be just empty assumptions, right?"

Night Owl: "..."

Night Song: "Where do you want to go?"

"...You brat, you're actually starting to read my mind." Night Owl pinched Night Song's cheek hard with the hand on his shoulder. "Do you think you're so smart? Huh?!"

Ye Ge paused for a moment, then asked again, "So what exactly happened?"

"You don't need to worry about anything right now," Night Owl said slowly. "What you need to think about now is how to fight this battle well. I've already bragged about it for you, it would be so embarrassing if we lost too badly, wouldn't it?"

Night Song: "...How dare you say that?"

Leaving the dark hall, Ye Ge and Gao Shenxue walked together down the villa's corridor.

At that moment, a young girl suddenly appeared in front of him.

When Ye Ge looked up, she saw a very cute girl who looked to be just over eighteen years old. She was wearing a JK uniform and her big eyes were blinking. She looked harmless and you couldn't tell that she was a demonized mutant from a war family.

Her name is Ye Mengyu, and she is the daughter of a distant relative of Ye Ge.

Hello, Night Song.

Ye Mengyu stretched out her hand with a grin: "Do you still remember me?"

Ye Ge shook hands with her and recalled for a moment: "I remember, you are Meng Yu's cousin."

"Haha, I didn't expect you to actually remember me." Ye Mengyu happily stuck out her tongue. "You've really grown more and more beautiful. I remember when you were little, I held you and changed your diapers!"

Night Song: "..."

"I heard you've entered the inner sect of the War Academy and even become a personal student of Principal Lan Mi? You're really amazing!"

"Just lucky," Ye Ge said calmly.

"Well, I'll be going now then," Ye Mengyu said with a smile. "When we get to the battlefield, we might have a chance to cooperate, and maybe we can get more points. What do you think?"

Ye Ge nodded: "Okay, we'll see when the time comes."

"I'm leaving, bye-bye~"

Ye Ge watched Ye Mengyu's retreating figure, her heart unmoved.

Although she appears harmless and like an innocent high school girl, he would be a fool to believe that this is her true nature.

How could someone who survived to the age of eighteen in the Ye family, with its eagle-style education, without dying or becoming disabled, and reaching the Hundred Souls Realm, possibly be a simple and innocent girl?

I heard that she left the Ye family when she was fifteen years old to fight against all races. She has several thousand extraordinary warriors under her command and two territories on the map of all races.

From childhood to adulthood, she has killed the most members of the dark race among all the younger generation of the Ye family.

Yes, at most, more than both Ye Yulong and Ye Qingxin.

This little girl, I heard, enjoys hunting down dark races.

At this moment, another tall, young man appeared in front of Ye Ge.

"Night Song, is it?" Night Yang said with a look of disdain. "I heard you conquered Ten Thousand Swords City without losing a single soldier? No wonder Uncle Xiao dared to make such bold statements. You've achieved such a feat at such a young age, you must not take us older brothers and sisters seriously anymore, right?"

"..." Ye Ge thought to himself, "That's all just his bragging; it has nothing to do with me..."

“But kid, let me tell you, the reason you’ve had such a smooth journey before is because you haven’t encountered a truly formidable enemy.” Ye Yang leaned forward, bending down so that his eyes were almost touching Ye Ge’s: “And now, your formidable enemy has arrived.”

Night Song: "..."

After Ye Yang finished speaking, he turned and left.

Ye Qingxin and Ye Yulong happened to be passing by at that moment and glanced at Ye Ge from afar.

Ye Qingxin was very tall, reaching 1.78 meters. The black cheongsam accentuated her perfect figure, and her long legs were straight and beautiful. With high heels, she was over 1.8 meters tall, more than a head taller than ten-year-old Ye Ge. As for her appearance, the Ye family's genes were undoubtedly excellent.

She is the daughter of her third uncle, and by seniority, she is Ye Ge's cousin. She has reached the first level of the Myriad Manifestations Realm and is only twenty-seven years old. She is definitely one of the strongest contenders for the position of family head.

Ye Qingxin and Ye Yulong exchanged a glance. Ye Yulong grinned playfully and straightened the buttons on his clothes.

“Miss, our biggest opponent this time should be Ye Yulong, right?” A female attendant said softly. “As for Ye Ge, although he is the personal student of the legendary principal Lan Mi, he is still young and lacks war experience. This test should be very advantageous to us.”

Ye Qingxin: "If he really lacked experience, how did he manage to take Wanjian City without losing a single soldier?"

Female attendant: "This..."

“Perhaps Lan Mi gave him some kind of secret simulated war training.” Ye Qingxin narrowed her eyes: “No one in the Ye family is simple. We absolutely cannot let our guard down.”

......

Ye Ge and Gao Shenxue returned to their room together.

"How confident are you about passing this family test?" Gao Shenxue asked, looking at him with gentle eyes.

"I don't know, I know absolutely nothing about my brothers and sisters."

Ye Ge leaned back and lay down on Gao Shenxue's bed in a starfish position: "Moreover, this war in the Southern Territory is not so simple. Ye Qingxin and the others were right just now. The royal family may very well want to use our Ye family as pawns, so that we and Wang En's rebel coalition will both suffer heavy losses."

"To win this family assessment, the prerequisite is that our Ye family must win this war in the Southern Territory, and it cannot be a victory with heavy losses."

"Otherwise, if the Ye family falls, what's the point of having the title of clan leader candidate?"

Gao Shenxue pondered for a moment: "You're right. Is there anything I can do to help?"

"Of course there is, and it has to be you."

"?"

Night Song sat up in bed and took out the pile of weapons and equipment he had previously seized from the vampire camp from his system inventory.

The standard swords and armor of various vampire units.

Gao Shenxue tilted her head: "What's this?"

“I smuggled these back from the vampire camp,” Nightsong explained the special effects of the equipment.

"It's actually a genetic weapon?" Gao Shenxue picked up a standard-issue longsword, checked its attribute panel with her self-made system, and then showed a slightly surprised expression: "Adds 1000 damage to human units?"

“That’s right.” Ye Ge smiled. “This was originally developed by the vampires to deal with our human army.”

"But these weapons will be exactly what we need in this civil war in the South."
