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

Ye Ge took a soul power recovery pill and a can of energy drink.

[Notification: Your soul power is recovering...]

[Notification: Your stamina is recovering...]

After recovering some energy, Ye Ge stood up and stretched her body.

Then he raised his hand, and a dozen crows flew to the side of Yang Yi and Chi Zhu on the ground. The black mist enveloped their bodies, and with a sharp caw, when the crows and the black mist dissipated, the two people who were lying on the ground had disappeared.

Ye Ge took an antidote obtained from the Red Spider and gave it to Nangong Ru.

"Come on, open your mouth, ah~"

Because Nangong Ru couldn't move, Ye Ge was the only one who could feed her.

"..."

However, Nangong Ru only glanced at him with her eyes, but did not open her mouth.

Her forehead was covered in beads of sweat, her face was even paler than before, and her eyes were trembling; it was clear that she was in great pain.

It appears the toxicity has penetrated deeper.

"No way, you can't even open your mouth?" Ye Ge scratched the back of his head. "You were able to talk just now, weren't you?"

“…” Nangong Ru moved her eyes and nodded.

"Can you move your tongue?"

"..."

"Sigh... there's really nothing I can do." Ye Ge sighed.

There was no other way but to help her with it by hand.

Anyone with experience raising dogs knows that if a dog is sick and won't take its medicine, there's a simple and direct solution.

It involves prying open the dog's mouth and using your fingers to push the pill deep into its throat...

"..."

"All right."

Ye Ge pinched Nangong Ru's chin to make it easier for her to swallow the antidote.

Then he looked at his sticky fingers, rubbed them against her clothes, and wiped the drool off his fingers.

Nangong Ru: "......"

Then, Nightsong came to Emilia and Elon.

"Antidote..."

Princess Emilia's voice was weak, and her expression was one of torment, clearly showing that she was enduring the pain caused by the poison. She looked pitifully at Night Song as she approached.

She could speak, but Nangong Ru could not. It was probably because, apart from the difference in their extraordinary levels, Nangong Ru had previously used the Aurora Demon-Sealing Slash, and her current state was already quite low.

"Want the antidote?" Ye Ge picked up a pill from her hand.

"Mmm, mmm!" Princess Emilia nodded.

"beg me."

"..."

"Say a few nice things."

"You!" Princess Emilia's originally pale face instantly turned red, and her eyes looked like she wanted to devour someone.

Night Song: "Call me Lord Night Song."

“You wish…” Princess Emilia said through gritted teeth.

She is a noble princess of the Holy Elf race, the apple of the Holy Elf Kingdom's eye, and may be the future heir to the kingdom. How can she call a human "adult"?

"You're clearly trying to humiliate me!" Emilia glared at him angrily.

Night Song: "So you're not going to beg me?"

Emilia: "Of course! You wish! I will never grant your wish!"

Night Song: "Is that so...?"

Emilia: "Even if I die from pain, itching, discomfort, or tormented to death by this spider demon's venom, I will never bow down to you!!"

Two minutes later.

"Ye... Lord Yege..."

Emilia, her cheeks flushed, pleaded, "Please, please... you'll definitely need help to clear the later levels of the dungeon, right...?"

"Call me Master Yege." Yege began to push her luck.

Emilia: “…”

"Night!!! Song!!!"

Princess Emilia was furious.

Ye Ge smiled faintly.

He stopped joking and flicked his finger, sending the antidote flying into Emilia's mouth.

Upon seeing this, Emilia immediately shut her mouth.

Then I immediately began to circulate my energy and regulate my breathing.

Then Night Song flicked his finger again, and another one flew into the mouth of the knight next to him, Elon.

After a short period of rest and recuperation, Princess Emilia recovered.

The discomfort caused by the toxins in my body has disappeared.

After recovering, Princess Emilia stood up and immediately unleashed a golden lightning whip.

"Snapped!"

Ye Ge easily dodged by sidestepping.

The lightning whip sparked countless golden sparks on the ground.

"Night Song! You bastard!" Princess Emilia was furious. "You deceived me with a false identity, and you even took advantage of me! I will never forgive you!"

Swish!

Another whip lashed out.

This time, Ye Ge didn't hide.

Nangong Ru quickly appeared in front of him, raised her straight sword, and with a "clang," blocked the whip attack for him.

Princess Emilia's eyes flickered, and she finally recognized her: "So you're Nangong Ru? What are you doing here?"

Nangong Ru did not answer.

Ye Ge rubbed his nose: "Sigh, what an ingrate! I saved you twice, and instead of being grateful with tears in your eyes, you actually took out a whip and lashed your savior. It's truly disheartening."

Princess Emilia snorted coldly: "Is that how you save me? You're clearly just looking for thugs to use in the next few levels of the dungeon. I'm too embarrassed to call you out on it!"

“That’s not wrong,” Ye Ge said. “But no matter what, it’s a fact that I saved you, and you can’t deny that.”

Emilia remained silent.

"And, I forgot to remind you," Ye Ge smiled, "the antidote you just took is a time-limited one, it only lasts for an hour, so you'll have to beg me again after an hour."

"?!?" Princess Emilia froze instantly, as if struck by lightning.

"So from now on, you and your men will all have to obediently follow my orders and do as I say, or you'll be in for a world of hurt." Night Song mimicked the villainous tone Yang Yi and Chi Zhu had used earlier, grinning broadly; "Hehehehehehehehehe..."

Emilia & Airon: "......"

......

At this moment, in another BOSS room on the third basement level of the underground palace.

"Soul Skill - Heavenly Eye Slash!"

Celestial Clan's Venerable Zhao raised two fingers, and his third eye on his forehead suddenly emitted golden light, shooting out a golden ray that killed the BOSS before him.

"Phew... finally dead..."

Venerable Zhao wiped the sweat from his brow.

I never expected that even knowing the mechanics and weaknesses of these monsters would still make them so difficult to defeat.

The boss they encountered was extremely agile, had a high attack frequency, and a lot of health, but it was extremely difficult to find an opportunity to attack it.

In most cases, they can only dodge, dodging at least dozens of times before they have a chance to attack, and that chance is fleeting. If they miss it, it can cause a mental breakdown.

If they're having this much trouble even with a strategy guide, you can imagine how much more difficult it would be if they didn't have one; they'd all probably be dead here!
