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

Xia Xiyao walked through the Chaotic Forest.

A heavy, oppressive atmosphere permeated the forest, echoing with endless wails and cries of despair.

Ancient trees reach for the sky, and vines that shimmer with an eerie light are wrapped around their trunks, swaying gently like the tentacles of a demon.

It was a place where everything grew and the 6/8 rule was in chaos.

Pairs of scarlet, ferocious eyes opened in the darkness.

They set their sights on Xia Xiyao.

"Hehehehehehe... Another new prey has been delivered to our doorstep! (Evil laugh.jpg)"

"It's actually a young human girl, and she looks so fresh and delicious...slurp slurp..."

"With such a low level, daring to come here all by himself, he's really courting death."

"Don't try to take her heart from me later, it's mine!"

"(╬▔皿▔) Get lost! You ate first last time too! This time it's my turn!"

"Nonsense, I'm the boss, of course I get to take the first bite!"

"(`へ?0?7≠) You're talking nonsense! We, the Ten Fiends of Chaos, were born at the same time. When did we ever have a ranking?!"

"Of course, it's because when we hatched, my egg was the first to crack, so obviously I'm the older brother and you're the younger brother."

“（╯‵□′）╯︵┴─┴So my egg was the first one to fall out of Mom’s belly!”

"...You two, shut up! Did you even have any self-awareness back then? Don't play dumb with me, I'm the first one who started remembering things!"

"..."

The naive Xia Xiyao was unaware that she had been targeted by a group of monsters.

"I wonder how Xiaoye and Xue'er are doing..."

Xia Xiyao muttered to herself as she walked forward.

The instructor said that this place would allow people to see what they feared most deep down.

So what's the thing I'm most afraid of happening?

Strands of invisible black energy silently approached the girl.

They wrapped themselves around the girl's body from behind and held her tightly.

Xia Xiyao, however, seemed completely oblivious.

Her pink pupils gradually turned grayish-black, as if they had lost focus.

......

"Crack!"

An Lingyue sat comfortably in her crystal carriage, brewed herself a pot of tea, cracked melon seeds with her hands, and placed her bare feet together on the table on the other side.

She casually flicked away a sunflower seed shell and looked at the scene in the crystal ball floating in front of her.

"It's about to begin..." An Lingyue narrowed her eyes.

Actually, she still doesn't quite understand it.

Why did Teacher Lan Mi make these two girls do this kind of training?

Seeing your deepest fears and being able to overcome them can indeed make your mind more resilient.

However, this kind of training is, in theory, more suitable for those who are already very powerful.

Xia Xiyao's level is only at the Thousand Soul Realm. Even if she can overcome her inner fears, so what?

Battles between extraordinary individuals aren't something that can be won simply by having courage...

"Forget it, why bother with all that?"

"Anyway, I don't need to think of cultivation content for them, which saves me the trouble."

"Let me see what this little girl is most afraid of deep down."

An Lingyue grinned with the typical wicked smile of a bad woman, looking like she was ready to watch the show.

Thinking of Xia Xiyao's innocent and timid appearance, her reaction when she sees what she's most afraid of will be quite amusing.

What could it be? A demon? A vengeful spirit? A facehugger spider? Or...?

At this moment, the image on the crystal ball gradually began to appear.

A blurry figure slowly appeared before Xia Xiyao, gradually becoming clearer...

That figure was none other than Ye Ge.

"So it really is related to my junior brother?"

An Lingyue smiled knowingly.

She had long since realized that this young girl was clearly in love with her junior brother.

He's love-struck...

Hehe, so cute...

"Night!"

Xia Xiyao ran to Ye Ge's side in surprise.

However, when he ran to Ye Ge's side, he found that there was another woman standing next to Ye Ge.

It was An Lingyue, with a wicked smile on her face, holding Ye Ge's arm beside her.

An Lingyue: "...?"

Why am I in a scene?

"Xiao...Xiao Ye?" Xia Xiyao became nervous upon seeing An Lingyue: "What are you doing here? Your senior sister...?"

"Oh, Xiyao, I've come to tell you something." Yege put his arm around An Lingyue's waist and smiled, "My senior sister and I are getting married."

Xia Xiyao's body trembled noticeably.

"Get married!?"

However, instead of angrily questioning Ye Ge, she looked at him cautiously and asked, "Wh...why so suddenly?"

"Oh, because I like my senior sister. Do you even need to ask that question?"

"Does Xue'er know about this?"

"Of course I know, Xue'er even wished me well."

"..."

Xia Xiyao stood there for a while, at a loss, before forcing a very strained smile: "Oh, I see... Well, then I wish you all the best too..."

Anyway, I can be your second wife, third wife... As long as I can stay by Xiaoye's side, it's fine...

She comforted herself in this way.

"Well, I just wanted to let you know, but please don't come to the wedding."

"...Why??"

"Because my wife doesn't really want to see you at the wedding," Ye Ge said, her arm around An Lingyue's waist. "You understand, right?"

An Lingyue, standing beside her, once again played along with a wicked woman's smile.

"I...I understand..."

Xia Xiyao looked aggrieved, her eyes reddened, but she didn't say anything more and silently lowered her head.

"Okay, I'll just say goodbye." Ye Ge took An Lingyue's arm and turned to walk away.

An Lingyue in real life: "..."

"6......"

An Lingyue was speechless, thinking to herself, how could she possibly do such a thing?!

If you don't know her, don't just let her act in your nightmares!

If it were her...

Even if you don't want to come to the wedding, they'll definitely drag you there, okay?
