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

"..."

The snow-white cat ears on Bai Xueling's head twitched slightly, and she pouted her mouth a little.

I don't know why, even though I'm already very familiar with Xia Xiyao and Gao Shenxue, and I know that Ye Ge and they are childhood sweethearts, I always feel a little sour in my heart every time I see Ye Ge being close to them.

She's the one who spends the most time by Ye Ge's side! And she's also his contracted spirit pet!

But apart from when she was a newborn kitten, when Yege personally fed her, she never ate any food Yege fed her again after she grew up for a few months...

Let me make this clear first: I absolutely do not want to eat the food he feeds me! Even if he wanted to feed me, I would never let him!

It's just that as a master, it's outrageous that he's so indifferent to his spirit pet...

"Cough cough..."

Bai Xueling couldn't bear to watch any longer and coughed twice.

"The captured superhuman warrior has already confessed," Bai Xueling said calmly, standing at the door.

Ye Ge turned to look at her: "Oh?"

Then he smiled, stood up, and said, "Very good, I understand."

"Wow!" Xia Xiyao's eyes lit up when she saw Bai Xueling. She got up and came to her side, taking her two little hands in hers. "Lingling, you've become even more beautiful!"

Yege had been in seclusion at the War Academy for a year and hadn't returned, so Bai Xueling hadn't been seen for a year either.

Even today, Bai Xueling is still a little embarrassed by Xia Xiyao's enthusiasm. Perhaps it's because she was used to being a dignified and lonely empress in her previous life, and it's really hard for her to adapt to such intimate praise from others. She looked away, embarrassed to meet Xia Xiyao's gaze, and said softly, "It's...it's alright. I don't think there's been any change."

“Who says there haven’t been any changes! Lingling has grown into a stunningly beautiful young woman, and I never imagined that such a cute Lingling would grow up to be a mature and elegant catgirl.” Xia Xiyao raised her hand and compared their heights.

If you include her ears, the catgirl is already half a head taller than her.

Bai Xueling blushed slightly: "No way..."

Xia Xiyao's eyes shone brightly, sparkling with excited enthusiasm: "Then, shall we play that dress-up game from when we were kids again next time? I've never dressed up a mature, beautiful catgirl before..."

Bai Xueling: "!"

Bai Xueling immediately tensed up and turned to Ye Ge for help: "Master, Master, let's hurry to the dungeon! That prisoner's brain has been sealed with a special seal, and even if it's broken, it's only temporary..."

Seeing this, Ye Ge couldn't help but find it a little funny: "Okay..." Then she walked over and ruffled Xia Xiyao's hair to help her out: "Alright, Xiyao, we have to take care of business first. If you want to find Lingling to change clothes, we can do it another time."

"Hmm... okay then." Xia Xiyao pouted.

White Blood Spirit (pictured)

......

The Night Family Dungeon.

Night Song and White Blood Spirit arrived at the deepest dungeon.

Inside the cell, a middle-aged man with a small mustache was hanging in the middle of the wall, his body tightly bound by more than a dozen iron chains. His head was hanging down, and he looked miserable.

Ye Ge walked over and found that although his eyes were open, they were lifeless and unfocused, and he seemed to have no self-awareness at all.

"Is he still under the illusion?" Night Song asked.

“Hmm.” Bai Xueling responded calmly: “He has been in the Blood Spirit Illusion for twenty years. After twenty years of hypnosis and torture, I finally broke the seal in his head without destroying his brain’s memory and discovered something deep in his memory.”

As she spoke, Bai Xueling's eyes flashed with a scarlet light, and she raised a slender, fair finger and gently touched the forehead of the middle-aged man with the mustache.

Night Song's pupils also turned scarlet and flickered, opening up a shared vision with White Blood Spirit.

He slowly closed his eyes.

In the video, he saw many important experiences from the first half of the mustachioed middle-aged man's life...

Fragmented images flashed by rapidly...

"I see."

Ye Ge reopened her eyes and smiled slightly: "General He Jin, one of the five great generals of the Great Qin Empire... Heh, eight years have passed. As expected, the Empire has finally become restless..."

......

One week later.

On a vast, impoverished, and desolate land, a magnificent and dark city stands out starkly.

All the buildings in Dark City are predominantly dark in color, whether it's the city walls or the houses, they are mostly black and gray, which shows that the owner here likes these colors very much.

The city walls, a full 500 meters high, are even taller than the Great Wall of the human race. Moreover, it is said that they are all made of soul steel, making them magnificent and awe-inspiring. Behind those high walls, one can see towering towers thousands of meters high. Under the pale light of the waning moon, if you are close enough, you can clearly see the high-tech nano-textures on the exterior of those towers. From time to time, magical lights can be seen on the tops of the towers that reach into the clouds.

This is the only city within a radius of 10,000 kilometers, so for people who come here and see this city in this desolate land, it is undoubtedly like seeing an oasis in an endless desert.

When this city suddenly appeared in the Black Wasteland a few years ago, everyone was astonished. To establish a city in such a barren wasteland, especially such a magnificent megacity, was no easy feat! This alone demonstrated the immense power behind its owner!

At this moment, on a desolate plain, a long high-speed train is speeding past, its roar echoing through the air.

This is the only high-speed train to Dark City, and also the simplest way for all races to travel to Dark City.

For some creatures of various races who cannot afford to take the high-speed rail, if they want to cross this desolate land spanning ten thousand square kilometers to find the Dark City, they have no choice but to gamble with their lives.

A room atop the thousand-meter-high tower in Dark City.

"This year's press conference seems to be more lively than in previous years."

Ye Ge stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, watching the caravans and horse teams of various races entering Dark City one after another below, and revealed a faint smile: "It seems that there are even more races coming to visit than last year."

“That’s inevitable.” Bao Bingqing stood behind him, dressed in a black, formal, and mysterious outfit, looking quite like a big shot: “The potions and extraordinary weapons you released last year have made Dark City famous. Now, even powerful races like the Dragon Clan, the Winged Clan, and the Demon Clan, which rank high, have expressed great interest in our press conference.”

"Yes, let's prepare well and make sure we entertain our clients properly." Ye Ge smiled faintly, "Let's give them a new and exciting experience this year."
