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

Night Song was deep in thought.

At this moment, Gao Shenxue came forward and hugged Ye Ge tightly once again.

Moreover, this time the girl's arms were wrapped around him with even greater force, as if she wanted to completely embrace Ye Ge into her body.

Clearly, the girl's feelings of loneliness and isolation had not yet faded. She needed to hold her beloved tightly in front of her and use the touch of her body to confirm his real existence in order to slightly alleviate her inner unease.

"Don't leave me." Gao Shenxue's voice was as clear and pure as ever, but this time her calm tone revealed a deep dependence on the boy in front of her.

Ye Ge gently stroked her head, as if comforting a frightened kitten nestled in its owner's arms: "How could I possibly leave my Shen Xue Mama?"

Ye Ge didn't press Gao Shenxue about the code any further. At this moment, the girl was undoubtedly vulnerable, and it would be too cruel to press her about things that made her sad.

He carried the girl to the bed in a princess carry and covered her with a blanket.

"Get some rest first, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

"Mmm." Gao Shenxue nodded obediently.

Ye Ge was about to get up and go to the other bed in the room.

Gao Shenxue reached out and tugged at his sleeve, her bright, clear, obsidian-like eyes gazing at him quietly.

Ye Ge tilted her head: "Do you only feel at ease when you're being held while sleeping?"

"Yes!" Gao Shenxue nodded vigorously, making no attempt to hide her inner desire.

"...There's just no way to deal with Miyuki's willful mother." Yoru had no choice but to lie down as well.

As soon as he lay down, the girl immediately clung to Ye Ge like an octopus, tightly wrapping around his body as if afraid he would run away.

This kind of posture was originally something only the clingy Xia Xiyao would do, but now Gao Shenxue has also joined in.

Moreover, Gao Shenxue was tall with long arms and legs. When she hung on Ye Ge, she completely locked him down, making it impossible for him to move.

However, the girl seemed to finally feel at ease, and her slightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed.

Smelling the familiar scent so close at hand, the girl's uneasy expression gradually faded, and she fell into a deep sleep a few minutes later.

Watching Gao Shenxue fall asleep, Ye Ge breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the system sent a communication notification.

【Drip drip! 】

[Nangong Qiuyue: Are you asleep?]

Ye Ge was puzzled. What did this girl want with him so late at night?

[Night Song: Not yet, what's wrong?]

[Nangong Qiuyue: Come to my room, I need to talk to you about something.]

[Night Song: ......]

[Nangong Qiuyue: What's wrong? Is it inconvenient?]

[Night Song: It's okay, wait a moment, I'll be right there.]

[Nangong Qiuyue: Okay.]

Close the communication panel.

Ye Ge glanced at Gao Shenxue lying beside him, and tried to pull his body out without disturbing the girl.

Unfortunately, he failed; the girl hugged him much tighter than he had imagined.

Left with no other option, Ye Ge raised two fingers, moved her lips slightly, and silently recited the incantation.

With a "bang," his body turned into black mist and disappeared, only to reappear in another part of the room a few seconds later.

Ye Ge tucked Gao Shenxue in, leaned down to give her a goodnight kiss, and then tiptoed out of the room.

......

The town was very peaceful under the night sky, with the full moon hanging high in the sky, painting the entire mountain forest with a faint silver edge.

However, this seemingly peaceful and unremarkable remote town is not as idyllic as it appears.

In an unassuming house, more than a hundred townspeople were crammed into a dark, dimly lit hall.

"I never expected these people to find their way here."

A middle-aged man with a pockmarked face said gravely, "What should we do? Should we strike first?"

"No, don't panic." A middle-aged man, the owner of the inn from before, was sitting in a chair smoking a cigarette. He calmly analyzed, "From what I've observed, they came here to recuperate after fighting a group of vampires. They shouldn't be here for us."

"Really?" another bald young man said, "If they discover our secret, the company won't let us off easily!"

"Then just don't let them find out." The innkeeper looked at everyone. "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on them. If they wander around town, I'll notify you immediately."

"Yes, it's best not to act rashly..."

"Well, the key point is, we can't beat them either, right? That Lord Yege is known as a super strong person who can fight against enemies of an entire level higher, not to mention those of the same level."

"Yeah, I agree."

The pockmarked man paused for a moment, then asked, "Besides Ye Ge and the others, what about the Night Watchmen? Didn't they also stay at your inn?"

"Oh, they're not after us," the innkeeper said. "They seem to be tracking down some demon girl who infiltrated the empire. Don't worry, they'll all be leaving tomorrow. Our town is unremarkable, and they're busy dealing with the dark races; they won't have time to wander around town. No one will discover our secret."

“A demon girl…” the bald youth said, then suddenly his eyes widened as if he had seen something terrifying, pointing to the ceiling directly in front of him: “That…that is?!?”

The innkeeper turned around in a daze.

A beautiful, aloof young woman with snow-white hair, dressed in black exotic clothing, stood on the roof beam of the hall. Moonlight streaming in from the window illuminated her slender and captivating figure from behind.

All the townspeople: ?!?!?

Everyone in the hall suddenly stood up.

"Who...who are you?!" the pockmarked man asked.

Jiang Xue's beautiful, aloof face remained expressionless, and she did not answer the pockmarked man's question.

"What unspeakable secrets are you hiding that you don't want to be discovered?" Jiang Xue asked.

"What does this have to do with you?!" The pockmarked man started to get nervous.

"What does it matter...?" Jiangxue paused, thought carefully, and said, "It doesn't matter."

"but.

"I love uncovering other people's secrets."

Jiang Xue gave a soft laugh.
