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

Ye Ge stroked Xuanji's head, "comforting" her for another two hours like petting a kitten.

For the past two hours, as Ye Ge recounted (made up) his various tragic experiences after being reincarnated as a human, Xuanji's tears barely stopped from beginning to end.

The tears of stars fell to the ground with a "tinkling" sound.

The catgirl sat to the side with her arms crossed, glancing at Yege with disdain.

This despicable owner who deceived the tears of an innocent young girl!

He really is a complete scumbag!

"Huff... huff huff..."

Another sobbing sound came from beside me.

Bai Xueling turned her head and saw that Jiang Xue was also crying, wiping away her tears with a handkerchief.

Bai Xueling: "??? No, why are you crying?"

“太感人了(?0?7?2?5?6?3?2?5｀)......”绛雪泪眼汪汪的抽泣着：“父亲大人太会讲故事了，一不小心就代入进去了，我忍不住嘛......”

Bai Xueling: "..."

......

Another half hour passed.

Xuanji nestled in Yege's arms and finally cried herself unconscious.

Even though she was asleep, the girl was still twitching from time to time, clearly not having recovered yet.

Night Song picked Him up, found a bed, and gently laid Him down.

"Pack up all these Star Tears and take them with you."

Night Song pointed to the thousands of star gems that had fallen to the ground.

The system inventory is currently temporarily blocked, so this is the only way to physically pack items for now.

"Yes." The demon warriors busied themselves, kneeling on the ground to pick up their tears.

Bai Xueling glanced at Ye Ge: "You deceived Him so badly, even impersonating His father, and made Him shed so many tears... What do you plan to do when this goddess finds out the truth in the future?"

"What else can we do? We'll see when the time comes." Ye Ge said speechlessly, "If we don't lie to Him, won't we be turned into star specimens by Him right now?"

“Judging from what this goddess just said, she should also be imprisoned in a secret realm by the divine realm, and she probably has no way to leave this place.” The Spirit of Calamity said, “So as long as we leave this secret realm, even if she realizes what’s happening in the future, she shouldn’t be able to come out and hunt us down.”

Ye Ge pondered for a moment and nodded: "Yes, that makes sense."

"The problem is," Bai Xueling said quietly, "how are we going to leave this place?"

Night Song: "..."

......

Inside the mysterious headquarters of a gene company.

"absurd!"

"This is absolutely absurd!"

A man with a hooked nose, wearing a black suit, and looking like a middle-aged man, slammed his fist on the table angrily, looking furious.

"The local area networks distributed across eighteen regions throughout the Human Empire were all easily hacked and breached by a little girl!"

"The data and experience energy from all eighteen sites have been stolen!"

"Even if she is number 3, does that mean all these years of upgrading the company's cybersecurity system have been for nothing? Are they all so easily defeated?!"

"What are you executives doing...?"

Opposite the man stood seven or eight executives from a gene company, all with their heads bowed, silently enduring the man's insults.

Carl was one of them.

"Where exactly is that little girl now?" the hook-nosed man said angrily. "You guys have so many capable men under your command, and you can't even handle a little girl??"

The executives lowered their heads, looked at each other, and none of them dared to speak.

The person in front of me is one of the directors of the company's board of directors!

They are not people they can talk back to...

Karl smiled and said, "Mr. Norman, Gao Shenxue should be at the War Academy in the human city of Asen, with the legendary human mage Lan Mi. I heard that Lan Mi has taken her as her sixth personal student, so I think that although Ye Ge seems to be outside human territory, it would still be inconvenient for us to make a move on that girl."

"Lan Mi?" Norman tapped his fingers on the table a few times. "Is she the headmistress of the Human Race War Academy? What's her background? What's her rank?"

"Peak of the Apocalypse Realm," Karl said. "He's one of the strongest figures among the human race right now."

"Huh?...You can't even handle a human mage at the peak of the Apocalypse Realm??" Norman was amused and exasperated.

“Mr. Norman, you are unaware of this,” Carl said. “I have thoroughly investigated Principal Lan Mi of this War Academy. Although her background and experiences from childhood to adulthood have always been recorded in the company’s files, the extent of her strength has always been an unknown.”

"An unknown? Didn't you say her level was at the peak of the Heavenly Revelation Realm?"

"Level is just a classification of the current realm reached by an extraordinary person, and does not represent strength. A juvenile elephant can still easily kick an adult cat to death."

Karl slowly shook his head: "When Ye Ge was in the Heavenly Realm, he already had a record of defeating a Hundred Souls Realm enemy while crossing a major class, and Lan Mi was his teacher."

"Moreover, according to the company's records, there has never been a record of Lan Mi being defeated."

Karl took out a tablet computer, swiped his finger across it, and read: "According to the records, the last time Lan Mi officially fought someone was a hundred years ago in the Giant Kingdom. She fought against an 80-meter-tall Saint Realm Giant. In the end, in less than three minutes, Lan Mi pried off all of the giant's fingernails, toenails, and even his hair. He cried on the ground for thirty minutes before Lan Mi let him go, without plucking off his eyelashes as well."

Norman: "???"

"What a mess..."

Norman scoffed, "Even so, she's just a peak-stage Celestial Realm cultivator. She's been stuck at that level for a hundred years, which means she's nothing special! Besides, if one Saintly Being can't handle her, what about two? Three? And our target isn't her! It's Gao Shenxue!"

"Gao Shenxue is not at the Ye family right now, and without the Ye family patriarch's interference, I only need to hold off Lan Mi. As for Gao Shenxue herself, she is just a mechanic at the Thousand Soul Realm."

"..." Carl smiled and didn't argue further: "You're right."

He didn't tell Norman that when Lan Mi beat up that Saint Realm giant, she was only at the Asura Realm...

However, very few people among the myriad races knew about this matter.

After all, giants certainly wouldn't want to proclaim that they were defeated by a human who was two major sizes behind them; that would be a disgrace.

“By the way,” Norman glanced at Karl and suddenly asked, “You just said that Nightsong is not currently in human territory. Where did he go?”

Carl said, "It's said that he went into seclusion somewhere to cultivate, and hasn't appeared at the Ye family for three months."

"Seclusion for cultivation..." Norman nodded. "That's perfect. The Southern Territory is leaderless; it's the right time to strike."

He beckoned with his finger, summoning two men: "You two, take ten experts and bring Gao Shenxue back to me this time, no matter what!"

"Yes!"

"Oh, right, remember, we need human experts." Norman sneered, "Judging from the last operation, the board's guess was indeed correct. Their Deep Blue system already has the function of locking onto foreign races. Be careful not to be locked onto by them."

I have something to do today, so just one chapter. Happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone! ~╰(*°▽°*)╯
