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

Banquet hall.

The top leaders of the empire met, exchanged pleasantries, chatted, and laughed.

Leng Yuening and Xiao Yuxi sat alone in the corner.

As the leader and holy maiden of a top-tier immortal cultivation sect, Leng Yuening and Xiao Yuxi, two members of the immortal family, seemed somewhat out of place on this occasion.

With their good looks, they should have been the center of attention wherever they went, but at this moment, they seemed rather lonely around each other.

Neither of them were smooth, cheerful, or eloquent girls.

The main reason is that Leng Yuening, as the head of the Empire's number one cultivation sect, has always given people the impression of being aloof, lonely, powerful but unapproachable. Just sitting there, she exudes an aura that keeps people at a distance.

In addition, she is a woman who has been a recluse for thousands of years, having only focused on cultivation in seclusion for a thousand years. Her social skills are basically zero. In this banquet hall, she hardly knows anyone, so of course she has no one to talk to.

Adding to the rumors, this woman, who has lived in a secluded house for a thousand years, has a terrible temper...

Naturally, no one dared to provoke them.

They all kept their distance.

"I knew I shouldn't have come to this kind of event..."

Leng Yue Ning's delicate white toes, hidden inside her purple embroidered shoes, kept digging into the ground as she muttered, "So embarrassing..."

When Xiao Yuxi saw Ye Ge, she stood up and whispered to Leng Yuening beside her, "Master, I'll go say hello to Ye Ge."

"Oh... um?? Wait... wait a minute!" Leng Yuening quickly grabbed her upon hearing this: "Why are you going to find him?"

Xiao Yuxi looked bewildered: "Today is his wedding day. Since we're here, as friends, shouldn't we offer our blessings?"

Leng Yuening said anxiously, "But...but what will I do if you leave??"

Xiao Yuxi: "?"

"Ahem... I mean..." Leng Yuening coughed twice and said, "Let's talk about blessings later. There are so many guests right now, and he has to deal with other people. Why would you want to join in the fun?"

Xiao Yuxi was taken aback for a moment, then smiled gently and said softly, "Master, do you feel embarrassed if I go and say hello while you sit here alone?"

Leng Yue Ning: ∑(⊙▽⊙a

Unexpectedly, her secret was immediately exposed, and her cheeks flushed crimson.

For someone with social anxiety, there's nothing more awkward than sitting alone in a crowded place!

The main issue is that everyone around her seems to have many friends, chatting happily with each other, while she alone looks lonely and withdrawn...

If Xi'er leaves again at this time... then I'll be too pitiful.

People will definitely look at her strangely!

Leng Yue Ning stammered, refusing to admit it: "How...how could this be! I am the dignified Palace Master of Yue Ning Palace! The leader of the number one cultivation sect of the human race! How could...how could I be like this because of something so trivial..."

Xiao Yuxi tilted her head: "If you feel awkward sitting here alone, we can go find Ye Ge together to give her our blessings."

Leng Yuening's lips moved slightly: "I...I haven't thought of what to say yet."

This was her first time attending someone else's wedding, so she was a little nervous and didn't know how to pretend she was a regular at weddings.

If Ye Ge saw through it, given that scoundrel's personality, he would definitely narrow his eyes and reveal a mocking smile, and then he would severely ridicule her about this matter!

"Oh, so this is your first time attending someone else's wedding? You really are a gloomy woman with no friends..."

Leng Yue Ning: "......"

Looking at Leng Yu Ning's face, Xiao Yu Xi read her thoughts again, sat down again, and gently comforted her master: "Alright, then I won't go. I'll stay here with you, Master. We'll go say hello to him later."

After Xiao Yuxi grew up, she was already over 1.7 meters tall. When placed next to her master Leng Yuning, who had a baby face and a loli-like figure, she looked more like an older sister comforting her socially awkward younger sister.

Leng Yuening finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"You're still the same as before."

A cold, mature woman's voice came from the side at that moment.

Nangong Ru was standing not far from them, leaning against the wall, one hand in the pocket of her long black top, the other holding a can of soda, taking sips from time to time.

"So many years have passed, and my communication skills are still zero."

Upon seeing Nangong Ru, Xiao Yuxi immediately stood up and greeted her politely, "Aunt Nangong."

Nangong Ru nodded gently.

Leng Yue Ning said angrily, "Nangong Ru! You woman, it seems your reputation outsiders is even more aloof and unapproachable than mine, isn't it?!"

He then glanced at her outfit: "And who would attend someone else's wedding banquet wearing a Night's Watch uniform?"

Nangong Ru glanced at her: "And what about you? Aren't you still wearing the Taoist robe you usually wear when you cultivate in the sect?"

Then he added, "But thinking about it, it makes sense. After all, he's been living in the mountains for eight years and only comes down once a year. I guess he doesn't have any other clothes besides his Taoist robe."

Leng Yuening: (╬￣Pan￣)

"Director Nangong, Palace Master Leng, Fairy Yu Xi." Ye Ge walked over at this moment.

When Xiao Yuxi saw Ye Ge, her eyes lit up, and she said, "Ye Ge, happy wedding."

Ye Ge squinted: "Thank you, Fairy Yu Xi has become even more beautiful."

Xiao Yuxi blushed slightly: "Um..."

Nangong Ru then said, "Qiuyue is on a mission today, so she can't come. She asked me to send her blessings to you on her behalf."

Night Song: "Yes, please thank her for me."

Leng Yuening remained seated, secretly glancing at Ye Ge, her eyes darting back and forth like wheels.

"Palace Mistress Leng, why aren't you saying anything?" Ye Ge tilted her head: "Although we haven't seen each other for eight years, you shouldn't have forgotten me by now, right?"

Leng Yuening: "I..."

Ye Ge suddenly realized: "Oh, you're not nervous because it's your first time attending someone else's wedding, are you?"

Leng Yue Ning: "......"

See? I knew it!!

Xiao Yuxi smiled faintly: "Ye Ge, stop teasing my master."

Ye Ge touched his nose.

Leng Yue Ning said angrily, "You rascal, so many years have passed, how come your personality is still so...so bad, and you still like to tease others so much?"

"Where's Lan Mi?" Nangong Ru asked. "Isn't she planning to attend her precious student's wedding?"

Ye Ge said, "Oh, the teacher had something to do, so he didn't come."

Actually, it's because Lan Mi knew what was going on at today's wedding, so she was too lazy to come.

"Alright, let's get down to business." Ye Ge's expression turned serious: "I'd like to ask you for a favor in a bit."

Leng Yue Ning asked in confusion, "Help?"
