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

"A human expert?" The man in the suit next to Norman hesitated for a moment. "But, among the company's registered employees, there aren't many human experts. We only have one person left who has reached the Saint Realm level that we can mobilize..."

"One person? Who is it?"

"Old Monster Nightmare Heart, a human cultivator, is nothing but an evil cultivator." The man in the suit paused and added in his ear, "He also has a personal grudge against Lan Mi! Years ago, he was defeated in a duel with Lan Mi, which is why he left the human empire and joined the company."

Norman raised an eyebrow: "So this guy used to be Lan Mi's defeated opponent, is he going to lose again now?"

"Probably not," the man in the suit said. "After he joined the company, he relied on the resources the company provided to successfully break through to the fourth level of the Saint Realm."

“Hmm…” Norman thought for a moment, “Then let him go, and give him ten more human experts at the peak of the Heavenly Revelation Realm.”

Man in suit: "Yes."

Carl stood to the side, remaining silent.

Ten minutes later, Carl left Norman's room.

“Lord Karl,” a subordinate whispered beside him, “Is it alright for Mr. Norman to act this way? According to our investigation, Lan Mi’s strength and background are far more than what they appear to be…”

“Of course it’s alright.” Carl smiled and loosened his tie. “He’s the boss, let him be. We’ve already warned him, haven’t we?”

"Ah, but this..."

“If he doesn’t do anything foolish…” Carl removed his white gloves and wiped his hands with a wet wipe, his eyes deep and unfathomable: “How can I replace him on the board of directors?”

......

Lan Mi yawned several times in a row.

It was very late at night, but Lan Mi still called Gao Shenxue and Xia Xiyao to her bedroom in the middle of the night.

"Teacher, what's the matter that you called us over in the middle of the night?"

Xia Xiyao tilted her head and sat cross-legged in front of Lan Mi, asking curiously.

Lan Mi's sapphire blue eyes were full of interest as she said, "Of course, I have something really fun to tell you."

"Something fun?" Xia Xiyao was taken aback.

Could it be that Xiaoye has returned?

A picture immediately popped into Xia Xiyao's little mind...

Teacher Lan Mi pushed out a chair with a smile on her face.

On the chair sat Ye Ge, bound hand and foot, her body tied with red rope and her mouth gagged with a white cloth, looking pitifully at Xia Xiyao, Gao Shenxue, and Lan Mi...

'It really looks like a lot of fun!'

'Hmm... but how is that possible!'

Xia Xiyao's cheeks flushed instantly, and she lowered her head.

Two fingers were constantly intertwined.

"You've been cultivating here with me for three months now," Lan Mi said. "Tonight is the time to test your progress."

Upon hearing this, Gao Shenxue paused for a moment, then asked, "Then, how do we test it?"

"We'll have some guests coming soon." Lan Mi twirled her gray hair with her fingers and smiled slightly. "You'd better treat them well."

"Guests?" Gao Shenxue looked blank.

"call......"

Just then, a sudden gust of wind came from outside the window.

A sudden, unexpected breeze caused the curtains in the room to flutter gently...

Gao Shenxue's expression turned wary: "Who is it?"

"Hmm?" Xia Xiyao turned her head to look when she heard this.

Under the pitch-black night outside the window, the figure of a girl who wasn't very tall but had a good figure appeared in the moonlight.

Lan Mi glanced at it, a deep smile spreading across her lips, and said with interest, "A rare guest indeed, what brings you here?"

Gao Shenxue and Xia Xiyao were suspicious.

Judging from Lan Mi's tone, she doesn't seem like an enemy?

"call......"

The white curtains fluttered again.

A beautiful woman dressed in a light purple fairy dress appeared as if she were walking on clouds. Her figure was graceful and elegant, like walking on water. She was untouched by dust. Her face was covered with a purple veil as thin as a cicada's wing. With a sound of her dress fluttering, the fairy woman floated in and entered the room through the window.

This woman was none other than herself.

It was Leng Yue Ning!

Xia Xiyao was taken aback.

This beautiful fairy sister...

I think I've seen her before?

"Long time no see." Leng Yuening said calmly and casually when she saw Lan Mi.

"Oh my, it's been a long time, Ningning." Lan Mi's eyes narrowed into slits with a smile. "It's rare to see you, this thousand-year-old socially awkward homebody, finally deigning to come down from the mountain?"

"..." Leng Yue clenched her small pink fist, which was hidden under the long sleeves of her fairy robe, and glared at her.

This Lan Mi! She's still the same as before!

He's supposed to be the principal of the War Academy, yet he's so unrespecting and doesn't act like an elder at all!

If it were just the two of them, it would be one thing, but there are clearly two younger people here! How can you call her by such a shameful title?!

She is, after all, the Palace Master of Yue Ning Palace, the number one immortal cultivation sect among humans!

Leng Yuening glanced at Gao Shenxue and Xia Xiyao, her gaze pausing as if she had remembered something: "These two girls... are the two who were with Ye Ge..."

“Yes.” Lan Mi smiled and said, “Xiao Yege’s two little girlfriends.”

"Well......"

Upon hearing the teacher's introduction, Xia Xiyao's face immediately flushed red, and she lowered her head, looking quite embarrassed.

Gao Shenxue, on the other hand, remained calm, as if it were a matter of course.

"Why are they here so late?"

"Oh, they are now my students, just like my Little Night Song."

Leng Yuening looked somewhat surprised: "You actually took on two more personal students all at once?"

"Is it not allowed?" Lan Mi shrugged. "You know I never limit the number of students I take on, it's just that very few can meet my requirements."

Leng Yuening paused for a moment, then said, "That makes sense..."

Lan Mi looked at her, her expression once again showing great interest: "I say, little Ningning, you suddenly left Yue Ning Palace and came down the mountain to Yasen City. You couldn't have just come here to drop by, could you?"

With a calm expression and unwavering gaze, Leng Yue Ning said, "The Myriad Races Summit is about to begin, and this is the first time it will be held in our Human Race Empire. It is of extraordinary significance. Many super experts from all over the myriad races will come to the human race territory. Naturally, I will bring the disciples of Yue Ning Palace down the mountain to take a look."

"Hmm, that makes a lot of sense. It's important to broaden your horizons."

Lan Mi nodded, looking at Leng Yuening with a smile.

"..."

Leng Yuening felt a little uneasy under her gaze, as if her thoughts had been read. She turned her head away, avoiding eye contact.

"Have your students leave for a moment," Leng Yuening said calmly. "I...I have something to discuss with you."

"Is there anything you can't say in front of my students?"

"Of course it's a very important matter!"

Leng Yuening glared at her again: "You haven't changed at all, always talking nonsense..."

"Hmm... let me guess." Lan Mi twirled her hair with one finger while thinking, "You usually don't come down the mountain, much less to Asen City. Even if you do come to Asen City, you're unlikely to come looking for me on your own initiative—because you know that if you see me, I'll definitely laugh at you to your face because of what happened before."

Leng Yue Ning: "......"

"Even at the risk of being laughed at to my face, you still came, so..."

Lan Mi paused for a moment: "Oh dear, you don't mean you want to ask me for something, do you, Ningning?"

Leng Yue Ning: "......"
