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

"By the way, Senior Sister An," Ye Ge suddenly remembered something and asked, "How are Xue'er and Xi Yao doing with your cultivation?"

An Lingyue smiled slightly: "Oh, you mean Junior Sister Gao and Junior Sister Xia? Their current strength will definitely surprise you."

"???" Ye Ge was dumbfounded: "Junior Sister Gao? Junior Sister Xia? What the heck?"

"Oh, you didn't know?" An Lingyue said, "The teacher has already taken them as his sixth and seventh personal students. However, they finished their seclusion earlier than you and have already returned to the Ye family."

"...So that's how it is." Ye Ge thought to himself that it was normal for Xue'er and Xi Yao to be noticed by their teacher, given their talent and potential, so he wasn't too surprised.

"So what level are they at now?" Ye Ge asked.

“I’m not quite sure what level they are,” An Lingyue said. “But I heard from our teacher a few days ago that the two of them together took down ten peak Heavenly Enlightenment Realm experts, plus one Saintly Descent Realm fourth-level expert.”

Night Song: "???"

......

An Lingyue escorted Ye Ge to the entrance of the Ye family manor.

"Tomorrow is the opening ceremony of the Myriad Races Summit. See you then, Junior Brother Ye!" An Lingyue blew a kiss to Ye Ge, and then the Pegasus sedan flew away.

Jiang Xue looked at the magnificent manor in front of her and exclaimed "Wow!"

"Father, is this your home in the human realm? It's so beautiful! Shall we build one in the demon realm someday?"

Ye Ge smiled slightly: "Okay, if you like."

"Saya, Saya, Saya!"

Three months later, when Xia Xiyao saw Ye Ge again, she was so excited that she clung to him like a koala, refusing to get down.

Crystalline tears immediately streamed down her face.

She still vividly remembers her experience in the Nightmare Realm.

Although I later realized it was just a nightmare, the dream felt so real.

As the saying goes, you only cherish things more after you've lost them.

The heartless Xiaoye from her nightmares had hurt her deeply and dealt her a heavy blow, so she cherished the gentle Xiaoye in reality even more.

"Waaah, Xiaoye, I promise I'll never make you angry again. I'll listen to everything you say, I'll do anything you ask, and I won't disobey any of Xiaoye's requests. Xi Yaoyao will always be Xiaoye's good girl. Xiaoye, please don't say such heartless things to me again..."

"???"

Ye Ge looked completely bewildered.

ha?......

What happened?

Ye Ge chuckled and patted her head, trying to soothe her: "When have you ever made me angry? Hasn't Xi Yao always been very well-behaved?"

"Anyway..." Xia Xiyao pressed her face against Ye Ge's chest, her arms and legs wrapping around him even tighter, "Anyway, I promise I'll be more obedient from now on. As long as I can stay by Ye Ge's side, Xiyao will do anything..."

Night Song: "..."

It seems like this girl has suffered some kind of trauma...

Yu Li, Bai Qing, Li Shuying, Arthur, Ye Zi, and others also came out to greet them.

"Lord Yege." Everyone bowed respectfully in greeting.

"Can any of you tell me?" Ye Ge pointed to Xia Xiyao, who was clinging to him, "What's wrong with this girl?"

“This…” Yu Li and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.

Clearly, they weren't quite sure either.

"Never mind," Ye Ge said silently, "Where's Xue'er?"

“Miss Shenxue is conducting weapons experiments at the Extraordinary Research Institute,” Li Shuying said. “A few days ago, Miss Shenxue captured a human extraordinary being at the Saint Realm. It just so happens that the weapon we developed that can threaten those at the Saint Realm and above needs a Saint Realm expert to test it. The weapon testing is almost complete, and we are currently adjusting the final data.”

"Oh?" Ye Ge raised an eyebrow.

I didn't expect that weapon to be completed so quickly...

So Ye Ge immediately asked Li Shuying and the others to take him to the Extraordinary Research Institute.

On the way, Ye Ge also learned from Xia Xiyao about their experience of cultivating under Teacher Lan Mi during this period.

Only then did they realize that Xia Xiyao and Gao Shenxue had both entered the Nightmare Realm, dreaming of the things they feared most, which activated their potential and caused their leveling speed to increase so dramatically.

"So, what's the thing you're most afraid of happening in your dreams?" Yege asked curiously.

Although he knew it must be related to him that caused the little girl to become like this.

Xia Xiyao sniffled, looking very aggrieved: "I dreamt that Xiaoye married many women, including Xue'er, Bai Qing, Li Shuying, Ye Zi... and many, many more, but I wasn't among them... and Xiaoye even said he hated me, that I was in his way, and that I shouldn't appear in front of you anymore..."

Night Song: "..."

What an absurd nightmare this is...

Hearing this, Bai Qing and Li Shuying, who were standing nearby, blushed slightly and looked a little embarrassed.

Ye Zi looked rather dazed and innocent. She turned her head to look at Ye Ge, and the ahoge on her head twitched, as if she was thinking about something.

They arrived at the Ye family's extraordinary research institute.

After three months away, the number of researchers in the institute had doubled.

Ye Ge heard that these people were personally selected by Gao Shenxue from hundreds of extraordinary research academies across the country, and each of them was an elite genius with an intelligence score of over 8.

One by one, huge, oddly shaped black missiles lined up on the transport track and were sent to the inspection station.

Dozens of researchers were recording data in their notebooks, and their discussions were incessant.

Gao Shenxue was still wearing her standard chief scientist uniform.

She wore a long white coat over a dark black striped shirt, but today she was wearing thin-rimmed glasses, which gave her a cool and aloof air while adding a touch of intellectual beauty.
