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

Jiang Xiaoming bit his lower lip, looking at Ye Ge and Gao Shenxue standing on the podium, feeling a mix of emotions.

One was his childhood rival, the other was the goddess he had secretly admired since he was a child...

When he was young, he once made a very childish declaration to Ye Ge, saying that he would beat him sooner or later; he also once said to Gao Shenxue in a very childish way that he would prove to her that only a strong man like him deserves to have a beautiful woman!

As the years have passed, this goal seems increasingly distant. The legends Ye Ge has created in these eight years have repeatedly shocked and thrilled the entire human race! At only eighteen, he had already reached the Myriad Manifestations Realm, becoming the ruler of the Southern Territory and the acting patriarch of the Ye family. At ten, he led the Ye family to victory in the Southern Civil War, captured the traitor Wang En, helped His Majesty Long Ying ascend the throne, eliminated the corrupted former emperor Long Hai, forged a partnership with Dark City, and popularized the Deep Blue System throughout the human race…

Gao Shenxue has also invented various amazing cutting-edge technologies and has become the Imperial Court's honorary chief mechanic and top rune scientist. It is said that the Deep Blue System was developed under her leadership.

And what about yourself?

Jiang Xiaoming clenched his fists under the table.

He carefully raised his head and met Ye Ge's eyes.

Although Ye Ge hadn't spoken yet, Jiang Xiaoming seemed to have already guessed what Ye Ge was going to say.

Woo...

Damn it! That guy Ye Ge, with his cunning and scoundrel personality, will definitely humiliate me severely!

'Hey, isn't this Jiang Xiaoming? Eight years have passed, and he's still so slovenly!'

As Jiang Xiaoming thought this, he became so nervous that he trembled all over.

"Jiang Xiaoming..."

Ye Ge paused, looked down at the roster again, remained silent for a while, and then gave a blank look: "This name seems familiar...who is it again?"

Jiang Xiaoming: "......"

Gao Shenxue and Xia Xiyao: "..."

......

Ye Ge, Gao Shenxue, and Xia Xiyao, along with the students of Class One of the War Academy, left the mainland and arrived at the Hundred Souls Forest.

That's the place where they carried out the mission of transporting the holy soul eight years ago.

Today's training is a field combat exercise, so of course we'll be going into the wild. And all the extraordinary creatures in the Hundred Souls Forest are below the Hundred Souls Realm, making it a perfect training ground for the students of the War Academy.

The system's simulated battle function can simulate all real battlefield scenarios, but no matter how realistic the scenarios are, they are still virtual.

As long as students keep in mind that these are all fake, they will not feel nervous, which is different from the actual battlefield situation.

"Let's be clear from the start."

Ye Ge said leisurely, "When Principal Lan Mi asked me to lead you, her exact words to me were to train you using the standards for training Ye family warriors, so I won't hold back today."

"No problem!" Tang Yanyan said with great enthusiasm, "Lord Yege can train us hard, please don't hold back!"

Night Song: "Let's talk about that after you've been punished."

Then, Ye Ge gave the students a task, asking them to hunt down a Xuanzu Beast in the Hundred Souls Forest.

There are no restrictions on the methods used; cooperation is allowed, and teams of up to three people can participate. However, each person must obtain a horn of a Xuanzu Beast as a trophy before the game ends to be considered successful.

The Xuanzu Beasts in the Hundred Souls Forest are almost all at the Hundred Souls Realm level. Moreover, Xuanzu Beasts are social animals and cannot appear alone. Most of these students are at the Earth Realm or Heaven Realm level, with only Jiang Xiaoming at the first level of the Hundred Souls Realm. Even if they are in a team, they will not gain any advantage. Therefore, this mission is quite difficult for them.

If it is not completed before sunset, one will be severely punished by Night Song.

After Night Song finished issuing the task, the students dispersed to find their targets.

Meanwhile, Ye Ge, Gao Shenxue, and Xia Xiyao downloaded a pot from their system inventory, took out a bunch of ingredients, and sat around a fire in a clearing in the forest to cook a spicy hot pot.

"Being an instructor feels pretty good."

Xia Xiyao stretched out her hands to warm them by the fire: "Xiao Ye is so busy usually, we haven't had a picnic like this in a long time."

Gao Shenxue picked up a cooked abalone with her chopsticks, dipped it in her homemade sauce, and then brought it to Ye Ge's lips: "Ah~~~"

Night Song: "..."

Bai Xueling, who had transformed back into a kitten and was lying behind Ye Ge, widened her ruby-like eyes as she watched Gao Shenxue toss food to Ye Ge's mouth. The scene from a few nights ago instantly flashed through her mind...

"..."

As the kitten thought about it, it suddenly shuddered and its face turned pale.

Its sharp toes twitched sharply, and its two fluffy, beautiful snow-striped tails immediately retracted, instinctively wrapping tightly around her buttocks...

Yege took a bite of food from Shenxue's mother, looked around somewhat embarrassedly, and then whispered, "Let's skip it today. It would be too awkward if the students saw us when they got back..."

The future Duke of the Southern Territory, the current ruler, is still being fed by someone hand-to-hand!

If his female admirers saw this, how would he explain it?

"It's alright, they won't be back so soon," Gao Shenxue said calmly. "Besides, even if they are instructors, even if they are the Grand Duke of the Southern Territory, even if they are the head of the Ye family, it's perfectly normal for them to be fed by their mothers, isn't it?"

Night Song: "..."

Seeing this, Xia Xiyao felt envious as she watched Gao Shenxue feed Ye Ge bite by bite with chopsticks. She quickly said, "I want to feed him too! I haven't played the game of feeding Ye Ge in so long!"

So she moved over and sat down next to Ye Ge, holding a bowl and chopsticks, and brought the food to Ye Ge's mouth, vying with Gao Shenxue for the right to put the food in Ye Ge's mouth.

Night Song: "..."

At this moment, it was above the heads of the three people.

A cold, scarlet eye appeared among the dense foliage, looking down at them with a chilling gaze.

'Is that Yege?'

'Hehehe......'

The owner of the cold, scarlet eyes slightly raised the corners of his mouth and let out a cold laugh.

I never expected to end up here...

"crow......!!"

Just then, a crow's caw suddenly came from behind him without warning!

A sudden jolt went through the red-eyed man's heart as he turned around to look.

It was a crow with jet-black feathers, perched on a branch behind him, its bright eyes fixed on him.

"You wouldn't happen to be one of those dark races that recently invaded human territory, would you?"

Ye Ge's calm and indifferent voice followed.

The red-eyed man was startled again and turned his head back.

Suddenly, Ye Ge appeared before him, standing on a leaf in front of him, arms crossed, looking at him leisurely.
