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

Gao Shenxue lay on the bed, her eyes gently closed, her mouth slightly open, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, already peacefully asleep and drifting off to sleep.

Ye Ge sat on the edge of the bed, her gaze calm, and used the system to check the girl's attribute panel again.

All vital signs are perfectly normal.

Overnight, his extraordinary level jumped two major levels from the Thousand Soul Realm to the peak of the Asura Realm, without showing any abnormalities whatsoever.

Even considering the physical strength of demi-humans, it shouldn't be possible for them to adapt so quickly...

and......

Ye Ge narrowed his eyes.

After carefully examining Gao Shenxue's detailed attributes using the Heavenly Dao System, she discovered another change in her attribute panel.

[Mechanic Profession - Learning Ability Value: 300 (Level X)]

Night Song gasped in astonishment.

A learning ability score of 300?

Good guy...

A learning ability value of 80 points is already an SSS-level talent.

A learning ability value of 100 points is already considered an X-level talent.

Even after using so many bottles of learning ability talent potions over the years, Ye Ge, a transmigrator, has only managed to raise his learning ability to 100 points.

300 points... that's a really niche number on this panel...

However, considering that Gao Shenxue is the only nine-star BOSS of the future human race in the game "Ten Thousand Races Map", this doesn't seem so surprising...

It's worth noting that the other nine-star bosses in the game are either demon lords, creatures with legendary bloodlines from the distant past, or demigods or figures close to lower gods...

Even the Dragon Lord is merely an eight-star BOSS...

Ye Ge remained silent for a while before quietly tucking Gao Shenxue in with the blanket.

Bai Xueling stood aside watching, pursing her lips.

A bittersweet feeling welled up inside me...

If one day I get hurt like that or something happens to make me very weak, will he take such good care of me?

Pshaw! I don't care!

Who cares about the care of this idiot owner!

......

They left Takashi Yuki's room.

Yezi cleared the dishes and went to the kitchen.

Ye Ge and Bai Xueling walked along the long corridor of the Ye family villa.

After going downstairs, I ran into two people in the villa's lobby.

Ye Quan and Zhou Yuqing.

"Grandpa, Mom," Ye Ge greeted.

"Hmm," Ye Quan asked with concern, "Xiao Ye, how is Xiao Xue'er doing?"

"It's very stable, there shouldn't be any problems."

"That's good."

Ye Quan stroked his goatee and smiled: "You handled today's battle quite well. You actually thought of luring a demonic expert at the Soul Emperor realm to the imperial mausoleum where the late emperor and the Azure Dragon are buried, and even deliberately let her enter the underground palace... However, I am very curious, how did you know how to open the underground palace?"

“Dad, asking him won’t help.” Zhou Yuqing glanced at Ye Ge: “Xiao Ye will definitely say: ‘I’ll tell you when I’ve finished writing it.’”

Night Song: "..."

"Hahaha... It seems your mom understands you best. You'll have to find a way to change your excuses from now on."

Ye Quan burst into laughter, then narrowed his eyes and said, "Fine, I won't ask anymore. But I really never dared to imagine before that our human race could one day defeat a Soul Emperor Realm expert, and a demon expert at that. Little Ye, you're really something."

Ye Ge smiled faintly.

He then looked at Zhou Yuqing, as if remembering something: "By the way, Mom, I wanted to ask you, what is Xue'er's true background? I remember, isn't she the daughter of our Ye family's old steward?"

“Well…” Zhou Yuqing’s eyes darted around. “Actually, I don’t know much either. Xue’er was actually found and brought back by the old housekeeper somewhere outside. He raised her in the Ye family and treated her like his own daughter… But now the old housekeeper is dead, and nobody knows where he found Xue’er.”

Looking at Zhou Yuqing's expression, Ye Ge felt that her mother wasn't telling the truth.

But she still said, "Is that so..."

"In short, the best outcome is that Xue'er is safe and sound. Don't overthink it," Zhou Yuqing said.

"Yes, that's right." Ye Ge said, "Then I'll go back and rest first, Mom and Grandpa."

"Okay." Ye Quan nodded gently.

Night Song left with White Blood Spirit.

Ye Quan watched Ye Ge and Bai Xueling's departing figures, his gray eyes calm as still water, his fingers tapping lightly on the armrest of the sofa: "It seems you still don't want to talk."

Zhou Yuqing remained silent for a while, then her lips moved slightly: "I'm sorry, Dad."

"Where is Xiao'er? If you're unwilling to tell me, did you tell Xiao'er the truth?"

"..."

Zhou Yuqing remained silent.

Ye Quan paused for a moment, but her expression remained calm: "Never mind, it doesn't matter."

"After so many years as family, I know you wouldn't do anything to harm any member of this family. For me, that's enough."

"As for your identity, I will not pursue it any further."

Zhou Yuqing stood up and bowed slightly.

"Thank you, father."

......

Deep inside the Ye family dungeon.

In the dimly lit prison cell.

Yao Yue sat in the corner of the cell, feeling very puzzled.

The spell has been cast for so long.

Logically speaking, Ye Ge should have rushed to find her long ago.

Why is there still no movement after half a day?

Yao Yue remained silent for a moment, then tried to activate the Deep Blue System.

A transparent panel pops up in front of you.

[Deep Blue System Notification: No signal in the current area!]

The demon moon was helpless.

We also can't get in touch with Lady Flame...

"Knock...knock...knock..."

Just then, footsteps could be heard outside the cell.

Night Song finally appeared at the cell door.

When Yao Yue saw Ye Ge, her eyes lit up immediately. She thought Ye Ge had finally come to find her.

However, she soon noticed that Ye Ge's eyes were calm and clear, and there was not a single impurity in his dark eyes. He did not seem to be swayed by desire.

As a succubus, Yaoyue has an extremely keen perception of human emotions.

Normally, someone under his spell would never be in this state!

It couldn't possibly be faked, because that's something that absolutely can't be faked.

In an instant, Yao Yue's pupils contracted; she had already understood what was happening.

Could it be that......

The Soul-Devouring Incense failed?!?

But how could that be? She did indeed get close to Ye Ge back then, and she personally left a spell mark on him!

Yao Yue's face turned deathly pale.

"What's wrong?" Ye Ge walked into the cell, looking at her with interest. "Weren't you looking forward to my visit?"
