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

"Shh-!"

With a final wail from the demons, Chu Ruohua finally slew all thirty-odd demons with her sword.

Chu Ruohua plopped down on the ground, her longsword stuck in the ground, panting heavily.

The flesh and blood of those demons turned into black mist, which floated into the air and silently wrapped around Chu Ruohua's body.

"Damn it, what kind of monsters are these? Not a single demon bone dropped..."

Chu Ruohua felt that she had wasted half a day's work.

Moreover, he felt that he was getting more and more debuffs.

Chu Ruohua quickly took out a bottle of intermediate-level purification potion, tilted her head back, and drank it down.

However, this purification potion does not seem to completely eliminate these negative buffs.

This place is really eerie.

Must leave quickly!

"Senior, you did a really good job."

Ye Ge walked over at this moment: "Alright, let's go take a look at that main hall together now."

"Get lost! Who wants to go with you?"

Chu Ruohua glared at him fiercely.

Now that there's no one else around, it's just him and this ten-year-old kid in front of him.

He didn't need to put on any airs.

Chu Ruohua stood up, patted his clothes, and said with a gloomy face, "I'm leaving. If you want to go and die, then go ahead!" As he spoke, he took out his teleportation scroll.

Ye Ge smiled slightly: "Senior, you probably don't want people to know about the shameful things you've done, right?"

"scandal?"

"You must be the financier behind those soul crystal smugglers who were caught in Asen City a few days ago, right?"

"?!!"

Chu Ruohua was startled.

Night Song: "Smuggling soul crystals is a serious crime in the Empire."

"...What soul crystal? I don't know."

Chu Ruohua looked guilty, but of course he refused to admit it.

"You brat, you dare to talk nonsense without evidence?! Do you know who I am?!"

Chu Ruohua made a fierce expression, as if to threaten her.

“I know that you are not only the son of the Lord of Ten Thousand Swords City, but also a distant relative of the current emperor.”

Ye Ge said leisurely, "After the founding emperor of Qin died, the circle of nobles and relatives of the royal family became known as 'a real mess.' Wasn't it you and a few other纨绔 (spoiled brats) nobles who killed the son of Marquis Panyuan? It seems that Marquis Panyuan still hasn't found the murderer."

"!!!" Chu Ruohua's eyes widened.

Ye Ge continued unhurriedly, "The reason is that you and several other noble playboys were secretly playing fun games with the daughter-in-law of Marquis Panyuan, and you were accidentally discovered by Marquis Panyuan's son."

"Are you afraid things will escalate, so you're going to go all the way?"

Chu Ruohua opened her mouth slightly, her throat dry and parched: "You... how could you..."

Ye Ge laughed and said, "The Ye family's intelligence system is quite powerful."

Actually, it was purely because of his scandalous deeds, which were mentioned in later parts of the game's storyline.

Ye Ge took a step forward, her eyes calm yet imposing as she stared into Chu Ruohua's eyes.

"Senior, you don't want this to escalate, do you?"

"..."

"If His Majesty the Emperor finds out, it could be very detrimental to your family, senior."

"..."

"You probably wouldn't want to see your mother kneeling before the Emperor, weeping and pleading for your life, would you?"

"..."

"So now you want to continue the adventure?"

"Let me think about it..."

Chu Ruohua's expression immediately changed. Without hesitation, she pulled her longsword from the ground and said with a smirk, "Since we're already here, how can we not go all the way? You agree, right?"

“Very good.” Ye Ge nodded in satisfaction: “Then let’s go, please lead the way.”

......

the other side.

Xiao Yuxi walked through the deserted city-state buildings and came to a palace with a rather exotic style.

'Distinguishing between solid monsters and undead monsters is indeed quite difficult...'

'Luckily, that boy reminded me.'

Xiao Yuxi always felt that Ye Ge had a maturity beyond his years.

In him, the girl saw many things that were different from the demons she had imagined.

But now is not the time to think about that.

As the girl stepped into the palace, she saw an enormous monster statue directly in front of the main hall, flanked by two rows of humanoid monster sculptures.

They stand on two legs like humans, but have the heads of demons and hold long-handled, sharp weapons.

"Click..."

"Click..."

As the girl approached, the demons opened their eyes and gradually awoke.

"Hehehe, yet another reckless human has come here to seek death."

"Wake up, guys! Time to eat!"

“Hehehehe…”

Xiao Yuxi's eyes were clear and calm, and her slender fingers formed a hand seal, gathering spiritual power.

"Ok?"

The group of demons were stunned for a moment. They felt as if the spiritual energy in the surrounding air had suddenly come to life, its flow becoming incredibly fast, and it all converged towards the girl.

Her pure white dress billowed in the air, and her long black hair flowed like silk.

"Immortal Technique - White Radiance!"

hum-

In an instant, the girl's eyes flashed with white light, and her slender, jade-like fingers formed a magic seal.

A beam of light rippled out from the girl's body!

The world seemed to suddenly lose its color, everything turning as gray as paper...

"ah......!!!"

"Aww...!!"

The desperate cries of the demons echoed throughout the entire hall.

......

"kill!"

Holding a long sword, Chu Ruohua rushed into another hall.

All the demons and monsters were awakened by him and surrounded him.

"puff......"

After a fierce and chaotic battle, Chu Ruohua killed all the demons and knelt on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"What an unlucky day..."

Chu Ruohua's face was full of bitterness. She took out a bottle of life potion and a bottle of purification potion from her body and drank them down.

Purification potions are not cheap in this 1.15 version; one bottle costs five Imperial gold coins.

Because this version of the potion has very few types, only one type can bring about the purification effect, and the required materials are very expensive.

In this version, ordinary players will have to be very careful with their purification potions if they want to clear the game!

Chu Ruohua has already used more than a dozen bottles today...

In other words, he spent at least fifty or sixty imperial gold coins!

"Roar--"

At that moment, several more roars of beasts rang out.

Dozens more ferocious-looking, blood-red monsters slowly crawled out from the dark corners of all directions.

"Damn it, there's more?!"

Chu Ruohua gritted her teeth and had no choice but to draw her sword and stand up again.

......

As the saying goes, if someone is carrying a heavy burden, it means that someone else is ensuring your peace and tranquility.

The sounds of Chu Ruohua's frantic battle with the demons could be heard continuously from upstairs.

Just from the roaring sounds, it seemed like Chu Ruohua was going berserk.

Night Song strolled leisurely around the palace's dungeon.

"I remember there should be a treasure chest in this room."

Ye Ge held a torch and shone it forward, revealing an ancient black treasure chest.

"boom!"

With a single punch, Ye Ge shattered the treasure chest and pulled out several items from inside.

"Black Demon Charcoal? This stuff is an excellent material for strengthening weapons. I'll steal it."

"Demon Skull... Purple quality item, not very useful, just keep it, there's no inventory limit anyway..."

"This is a human's white, chubby c... Hmm? How come there are such things? Do demons collect these things?"

"..."

Night Song quickly ransacked the entire dungeon.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Ye Ge heard a sound deep inside the dungeon.

“Who’s there??”

Ye Ge looked into the dark shadows and asked coldly.

"..."

No one responded, but something seemed to shrink back, like the sound of coarse cloth rubbing against the ground.

Ye Ge squinted, took two steps forward, and picked up the torch to shine it in the distance.
