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

Late at night.

After having a heart-to-heart talk with Night Owl, Night Song met with another person.

Ye Ge walked out of the Ye family's iron gate.

A petite figure, completely shrouded in a black hooded robe, slowly emerged from the darkness.

The woman in black slowly removed her hood, revealing a stunningly beautiful face.

"Congratulations." Long Ying looked at Ye Ge: "You have officially become the head of the Ye family."

"It's not really official; I'm just the acting clan leader," Ye Ge said modestly, waving his hand.

“Even so, to become the acting clan leader at the young age of ten and control the life of the entire clan is unprecedented.” Long Ying said earnestly, “You truly are worthy of being the goal I set for myself to strive to catch up with! But I will defeat you one day! And that day will not be far off!”

"..." Ye Ge scratched his face: "Why are you just like that idiot Jiang Xiaoming, always thinking about unrealistic things..."

Long Ying: "What did you say?"

"Oh, it's nothing. I was just saying you seem to have gotten more beautiful since I last saw you."

I just made up a random song for the night.

He never imagined the sudden impact his words would have on Prince Longying's young mind...

Long Ying: "......"

"What's wrong?" Ye Ge asked, puzzled. "Why are you looking down so much?"

“…No, it’s nothing.” Long Ying’s tone was somewhat unlike her usual self.

"Why did you come all this way so late at night? Is there something else?" Ye Ge asked.

"..." Long Ying recovered and slowly raised her calm and beautiful face again: "Father has issued an imperial decree to confer the title of Duke Night Owl on your Ye family patriarch. From now on, your Ye family can openly and legitimately manage the entire Southern Territory."

“Is that so?” Ye Ge paused, “This time it was also thanks to your cooperation that I was able to deal with the other high-ranking law enforcement officers in the Southern Territory.”

“It’s nothing, we’re on the same side now.” Long Ying looked steadily at Ye Ge: “However, don’t forget our agreement.”

"A promise?" Ye Ge thought for a moment, "Oh, you mean the promise to marry you when we grow up?"

“…I mean what happens after the wedding!” Long Ying pursed her lips.

"What happens after you get married... So you're really looking forward to that kind of thing?" Ye Ge asked in surprise. "I thought that a strong, proud, and talented girl like you would be indifferent to that kind of thing."

"..." Long Ying glared angrily at Ye Ge: "You're doing this on purpose again. With your intelligence, you can't possibly not understand that you're deliberately teasing me! You did the same thing last time!"

"Hehe, just kidding." Ye Ge narrowed his eyes: "Don't worry, I remember, if you really have the chance to fight for the throne one day, I will definitely help you... But you'd better be careful. I've heard that the power struggles within the royal family are quite chaotic and as cruel as our demonized family. Don't let your other brothers and sisters kill you before I marry you in the future."

"I absolutely won't." Long Ying looked very serious. "I will definitely let you see that day."

......

"Congratulations, Lord Night Song."

Bao Bingqing said, "I have already heard about what happened in the mainland. Ye City has become the capital of the duchy, and you have become the temporary acting patriarch of the Ye family. You are indeed a promising young man, a force to be reckoned with, truly remarkable."

"Alright, alright, stop with the compliments. My ears are practically calloused from hearing them these days." Ye Ge rubbed her ears with her fingers helplessly.

"Hehe, yes." Bao Bingqing smiled: "So, you've left the mainland today to come to see me in another place. Is there anything important you need to tell me?"

"Of course I have something to ask you." Ye Ge looked at Bao Bingqing and narrowed his eyes: "I want you to rebuild Dark City."

Bao Bingqing was taken aback: "Rebuild Dark City? But if that happens... what about the Empire...?"

"Let me finish speaking first," Ye Ge said. "Although it is the reconstruction of Dark City, as the one in charge, you certainly cannot use the name Bao Bingqing anymore, since that name is already dead in the Empire."

"Furthermore, I have no intention of letting you establish a new Dark City within the territory of the Great Qin Empire."

Bao Bingqing's eyes flashed: "You mean, you want me to go to the map of all races and expand our territory?"

"That's exactly what I mean." Ye Ge smiled: "On the map of all races, there are many neutral areas. The gods can't control those areas, nor can the dark races, so the empire can't reach them either."

"Of course, similarly, it is not an easy thing to expand territory and establish a new Dark City in such a place."

"So, do you have that ambition?"

“Of course!” Bao Bingqing paused. “However, what do you intend to do with the new Dark City?”

Ye Ge didn't speak, but smiled faintly.

Previously, he sold all the useless junk items and equipment he had obtained from system check-ins and quests before the age of ten, accumulating a huge sum of two billion Imperial Coins.

The Ye family also made a fortune from this war.

He now has more than enough liquid funds.

It's time to go back to my old profession from my past life!

In his past life, besides being a top-notch gamer, he was also the behind-the-scenes manager of a well-known studio in the CN server of the game "Ten Thousand Races". He secretly controlled the market prices of various items, weapons and equipment in the game, causing headaches for the game's planners.

Now that he has transmigrated into the game world, he naturally intends to do the same.

Previously, it was because I hadn't saved enough money, nor did I have enough power, status, or strength, so the time wasn't right yet.

But now, it's clearly time.

Ye Ge lowered his head, lost in thought.

The full-scale attack on the human race by all races took place eight years later.

The crisis of the Ye family, and the death of Night Owl in the battlefield of ten thousand races, also occurred when he was eighteen years old.

Eight more years...

Night Song Smiles.

enough.

The main character will grow up tomorrow!
