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

It's no wonder the Night Watch members were overthinking things.

One is an outstanding young talent, handsome, tall, and exceptionally gifted, the youngest ruler of the Southern Territory in human history, and the patriarch of a demonized mutant family.

One is a highly capable, aloof, tall, and stunningly beautiful female captain of the Night's Watch, a cold goddess secretly admired by countless young Night's Watch members.

These two look so good together that it's easy to subconsciously assume they're a couple...

Nangong Qiuyue noticed the look in the eyes of the Night Watchman's subordinates and guessed what he was thinking. She immediately blushed with embarrassment.

She coughed lightly twice, quickly regaining her composure, and resumed her usual aloof and serious demeanor as the captain of the Night Watch, saying, "Go check the situation immediately and wake up the other team members! I'm heading to the scene right away!"

"Ah...yes!" The young Night's Watchman straightened his back and then hurriedly retreated.

Ye Ge said, "See? I told you it wasn't appropriate for a man and a woman to be alone in a room late at night. Now you're going to ruin my reputation."

Nangong Qiuyue: "???"

Your reputation?

I'm the girl, okay!

Nangong Qiuyue glared at him: "You're still making jokes like this at a time like this!"

After saying that, she waved her hand to collect all the documents on the table, picked up the cyber knife that was placed aside, opened the window of the hotel room, and the whistling night wind immediately rushed in.

Nangong Qiuyue stepped onto the windowsill with her military boots, her long black trench coat swaying in the wind. She leaped out and swiftly ran and jumped between the low-rise houses with blue tiles in the town, quickly disappearing into the night.

Ye Ge slowly walked to the windowsill, looking at the billowing black smoke rising into the night sky in the distance. Her eyes were calm, as if she wasn't in a hurry at all.

"How impatient..."

......

Takashi Yuki was also awakened by the commotion in the town.

She sat up groggily and rubbed her eyes like a little girl.

There was a lot of noise outside, the night wind was whistling outside the window, and the white curtains in the room were fluttering gently.

The boy beside her was gone. Gao Shenxue stared blankly at the empty bed beside her.

"Xue'er!"

Xia Xiyao ran in from outside at this moment, with Bai Xueling following behind her.

Gao Shenxue finally came to her senses and looked at them.

“Xi Yao…”

"A monster has appeared in the town. It seems to be the same dark ice demon that killed a group of vampires in the giant tree forest before."

Xia Xiyao paused, looked around, and suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? Where did Xiao Ye go?"

"..." Gao Shenxue remained silent, not saying a word.

......

The town was in chaos under the cover of night.

Thick black smoke continued to billow and surge into the sky.

Under the full moon, Jiang Xue's beautiful and aloof figure stood on the roof of a low building.

She raised one slender, fair arm, her five fingers clenched, and lifted the three men into the air as if they were being grabbed by an invisible giant hand, their feet more than ten meters off the ground.

These three men are the hotel owner, the pockmarked middle-aged man, and the bald young man.

"Help! Help me!!!"

"Gods, gods, save me!"

"The gods will punish you, you monster!!!"

Jiang Xue replied with indifference and disdain: "Is that so? If that's the case, then that would be best. I really want to see what the gods actually look like."

With a wave of her lotus-root-like white arms, she tossed the three men around in the air like toys, sending them soaring into the sky and plummeting to the ground. Before long, they were foaming at the mouth, their eyes rolling back, vomiting incessantly.

"However, even after toying with you for so long, the gods still haven't appeared."

Jiang Xue said calmly, "It seems they don't care about the lives of you little minions."

"So......"

The demon girl raised her hand again.

"No...no!" The innkeeper looked horrified when he saw the girl's actions.

"Sixth-tier martial skill - Returning Wind and Autumn Moon Slash!"

A powerful sound of something cutting through the air suddenly rang out!

"Hmm?" Jiang Xue turned around and saw Nangong Qiuyue wielding a cyber knife, slashing at her with lightning speed!

"Om-"

"Ding!"

The sound of weapons clashing rang out.

Nangong Qiuyue nimbly flipped backward, landing steadily on the roof's eaves, her eyes sharply fixed on the demon girl before her.

Jiang Xue's right hand condensed into a sharp, dark ice-attribute blade, the deep blue edge radiating an incomparably cold and chilling aura.

"It was you again, just as I expected!"

Nangong Qiuyue raised his straight sword and pointed it at her, then looked down at the town streets.

The streets below the house were littered with dead bodies. They were all townspeople, and each of them looked almost identical: their faces were filled with terror, and there were no visible injuries, but a thin layer of dark blue frost had formed on their bodies, suggesting that all their internal organs had probably been frozen solid.

At the same time, a dozen or so other watchmen arrived and landed on the roof, forming a circle around it.

Jiang Xue said, "You human Night Watchers are really persistent. Haven't you learned your lesson from last time? Can't you see that I showed mercy last time, which is why your subordinates weren't frozen to death by my 'Dark Chill'? You don't really think that the ice resistance drugs you humans developed can be effective against my Dark Ice Aura, do you?"

Nangong Qiuyue's cyber-straight sword emitted apricot-colored wind-attribute soul energy as she coldly said, "Even if your abilities far surpass ours, as long as you dare to invade our human territory, we will fight back even knowing we will die! This is the creed of us Night Watchers!"

Moreover, this time is different from the last time.

Last time, the Night's Watch was merely investigating this suspicious demon girl who had trespassed into human territory, trying to figure out her origins and what she was up to.

This time, the demon girl truly killed several human townspeople right in front of her!

This has completely crossed Nangong Qiuyue's bottom line!

Jiang Xue said expressionlessly, "What a childish and boring statement."

"Put those three down!" another middle-aged watchman shouted.

"Oh, okay." Jiang Xue turned her palm over and swung it down with a little force.

The bald young man and the pockmarked middle-aged man suddenly fell from a height of more than ten meters, as if they had been slapped to the ground by an invisible hand.

"Aaaaaah...!!!"

The two stared wide-eyed in horror at the ground that was suddenly approaching.

"Paji!"

The two of them were like tomatoes that had been smashed on the ground, splattering countless drops of red juice everywhere.
