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

The headquarters of the gene company.

A classic-style office with a black color scheme.

Karl, dressed in a black casual outfit, sat behind his desk, in front of which were a dozen or so photos.

This time, in addition to Yoru's photos, there were also many photos of Takashima Yuki.

Karl's gaze was calm: "A mere human, a small family like the Night Clan, actually harbors two monsters..."

"Lord Karl!"

A middle-aged man approached him, looking somewhat nervous and hesitant to look up: "The company's entire deep network consciousness space has completely ceased operation. A large amount of important data has been lost, 87% of the programs are destroyed, and almost all the energy in the data energy pool has been drained... According to the programmers' analysis, it will likely take at least a month to repair and restore operation..."

Carl curled his lip: "That stupid manager, I should never have let her go. No wonder she was trained by the board of directors, greedy and self-righteous. She deserved to die."

"It's not just that..." The middle-aged man's expression was complicated: "The Flame Demon Lord led three demon generals to human territory, intending to destroy the Ye family, but it seems their operation failed... All three demon generals were killed, and the Flame Demon Lord has disappeared without a trace. Ye Ge is still staying at the Ye family's residence, seemingly unharmed..."

“Hmm…” Karl narrowed his eyes: “It seems that Nightsong is even more unfathomable than I thought.”

He could predict that the Ye family should be able to hold off the three demon generals.

However, the Flame Demon Lord is a powerful being at the Soul Emperor realm.

Is there really no way to deal with Ye Ge?

I don't know what exactly happened...

"Lord Karl..." the middle-aged man said worriedly, "What should we do now? This is such a serious incident; the higher-ups will definitely hold us accountable..."

"There's no need to be too nervous. That supervisor is from the board of directors. She acted on her own initiative, so it's not our fault."

Karl remained calm as he glanced at Gao Shenxue's photo on the table: "And coincidentally, through this incident, I no longer need to confirm what I originally wanted to confirm."

This girl, without a doubt.

It's definitely number 3!

......

Outside of human territory.

A half-real, half-illusory red ghostly spirit floated on a mountaintop, gazing at the distant Great Wall on the border of the human race.

This ghostly spirit was quite ugly; even in its undead state, it did not have a complete body, only a head remained.

The head's face was half blood-soaked white bone, a truly horrifying sight, with only half showing what it looked like in life.

If Ye Ge were here, he would find the appearance of that ghostly head quite astonishing and interesting.

Because that half of his face belonged to Ye Shengxiong, who had already died!

After his crushing defeat at the hands of the Night Singer, his shadow assassins executed him, severed his head, and fed his body to the Night Clan's Frostwolf wolves...

After his death, endless resentment and unwillingness kept Ye Shengxiong's soul from dissipating, and he vowed revenge. At this time, he was discovered by the demons.

His former identity as a member of the Ye family and his strong desire for revenge caught the eye of the demon race. He then joined the demons, selling his soul to them, thus gaining the opportunity to become a ghost king-level undead!

"Hmph, Ye Ge, tonight will be the night of your Ye family's demise!"

Ye Shengxiong's ghostly head sneered sinisterly.

With the power obtained from the demon, and after so much time of training, I can finally return to the mortal realm!

However, ordinary ghosts cannot stay in the mortal realm for too long, and he does not yet have a body that he can possess for an extended period.

And with his current strength, he certainly can't take revenge himself...

But it doesn’t matter.

One of the four great demon lords of the demon race, Flame Princess Demon Lord, personally took action, along with her three great demon generals!

Don't even mention flattening the small Ye family.

It would be more than enough to wipe out the human race from among all races three times over!

Ye Shengxiong had full confidence in Yan Ji.

Although I feel somewhat regretful that I cannot personally take revenge.

But as long as he could see Ye Ge fall, he would be content.

Although Yan Ji said she wanted to capture Ye Ge alive, she probably just wanted to bring Ye Ge back to be a guinea pig for research.

After the research is completed, Ye Ge will definitely not escape death.

"After this kid dies, I'll find his soul and devour it..."

"Perhaps I still have a chance to advance and become a ghost god!"

"Hehe ...

As Ye Shengxiong thought this, he grinned, and his regret at not being able to take revenge himself eased a little.

"With so much time having passed, Lady Yanji and the others should have almost succeeded by now, right?"

Swah——

At that moment, a blazing red light flew rapidly from afar.

The crimson light fell on the mountaintop and transformed into the form of Yan Ji.

However, Yan Ji seemed to be in a bad state. Her cheeks were slightly flushed, she was breathing slightly, she kept biting her lip, and she was staggering, needing to reach out and hold onto the trees next to her.

"Lady Yan Ji!" Ye Shengxiong greeted her respectfully as soon as he saw her.

Seeing her like this, he asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you? Where are the other three generals?"

And didn't Lady Yan Ji say that she wanted to capture Ye Ge alive?

How come you've come back empty-handed?

Could it be that......

Ye Shengxiong's eyes lit up.

Could it be that Lady Yanji changed her mind, no longer wanting to capture Yege alive, and has already killed him?

"..."

Yan Ji had no interest in paying attention to Ye Shengxiong.

At this moment, the red dress and demon lord's robe that symbolized her status had been repaired by her magic.

Her health and attribute panel had long since been fully restored thanks to her extraordinary self-healing ability as a Soul Emperor-level demon.

But the Soul-Devouring Fierce Love Flower...

The illusion, amplified and reflected by Night Song's passive skill, became incredibly powerful...

Moreover, it has extremely strong staying power.

At this moment, Yan Ji's mind was filled with Ye Ge. The image of that beautiful human boy lingered in her mind, and she couldn't erase it no matter what she tried. Even though the illusion had faded, she felt that the "aftereffects" were even more severe than when she had first been affected by the illusion.

Moreover, the farther Yan Ji went from the human realm, the stronger her desire to go back and find Ye Ge became...

"Lady Yan Ji?" Ye Shengxiong asked tentatively, "Is Ye Ge really dead?"

"Get out!" When Yan Ji heard Ye Shengxiong say that he wanted Ye Ge to "die," she became inexplicably angry.

Yoru Katsuhiro: "...?"
