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

"Blood Spirit Illusion Technique!"

The world before Ye Ge's eyes turned blood red.

The only solution he could think of was to have Lingling use Blood Spirit Illusion to control his mind.

Sure enough, after the brain was hypnotized by the illusion, all the delusional creatures around stopped attacking.

The tree roots that were wrapped around Yege slowly receded back into the ground.

Xia Xiyao, who was tightly embracing Ye Ge from behind, also turned into a wisp of black mist and dissipated.

Ye Ge slowly raised both hands.

He formed several mudras with his fingers.

His hand seal movements were very slow, like a video played in slow motion, and he was doing it with his eyes closed, like a sleepwalker.

"Superpower - Void Gate!"

......

I don’t know how long it took.

Yege opened her eyes again and regained consciousness.

The world around them was free of those delusional monsters, and the world had become calm and peaceful, with antique buildings everywhere.

This must be the ancient city.

Ye Ge looked up.

The tower in the ancient city that leads to the eighth floor is just a few hundred meters away.

"you're awake?"

The catgirl sat next to him.

"Mm." Ye Ge sighed. "Thank you for your hard work, Lingling."

"Hmph, you know that much..." Bai Xueling said, her eyelids drooping and her voice sounding very sleepy.

Then the catgirl swayed and naturally leaned forward into Night Song's arms, as if she was about to fall asleep at any moment.

The crow perched on Night Song's shoulder and said, "Although it only controlled you for a short while, your mental strength is too strong, Master. Lingling consumed too much energy to control your brain."

Night Song nodded and gently stroked the head of the catgirl girl nestled in his arms.

"Why don't you turn back into a kitten and rest in my clothes for a while?" Night Song said gently.

"Hmm..." the white-blooded spirit responded in a dreamlike murmur.

Then it transformed back into a little cat and slowly slipped into Ye Ge's clothes.

The crow said, "Sir, we've arrived now. Director Nangong and the others..."

"Don't worry." Ye Ge was prepared and formed a hand seal.

The shadow behind him gradually changed.

The world in the shadows was like a shimmering moonlit pool, rippling with waves.

Then a pitch-black humanoid creature gradually emerged from the cocoon, eventually transforming into the old mage's appearance.

The old mage clasped his hands together and exclaimed, "Special Ability—Spatial Transfer!"

A teleportation mark appeared on the ground.

It was the mark that Ye Ge left on Nangong Ru and the others back then.

With a "whoosh," the teleportation array mark glowed.

The next moment, Nangong Ru, Emilia, and Elon appeared in front of Ye Ge.

The crow was surprised.

However, all of them had fallen unconscious, and each of them appeared to be seriously injured.

Nangong Ru, in particular, was covered in blood. Her hair, which had been piled up, was now disheveled. The blood had completely stained her hair and face, leaving her pale and bloodless. There was also a large patch of blood on her chest.

Emilia and Elon were also clearly in bad shape, their breathing very weak.

Ye Ge used the system to check their condition; each of their life bars had dropped to below 5%.

Nangong Ru has less than 1% left.

Ye Ge immediately took out several life-saving pills refined by Yu Li and gave them to them. Then he took off their clothes and gave them some simple bandages.

After doing all this, Yege checked their attribute panels again.

All three players' health points are slowly recovering.

Ye Ge let out a sigh of relief.

"who???"

Suddenly sensing something, Ye Ge abruptly turned her head, her eyes sharp as she looked towards a corner in the distance of the ancient city street.

Just a moment ago, he sensed an unfamiliar presence.

It wasn't Muramasa... nor was it one of the other members of the myriad races we saw entering the underground palace before...

Were there other people who followed them into this underground palace?

Ye Ge narrowed his eyes: "Not coming out?"

He raised his hand, facing that direction, and gently clenched his fist.

"Ouch! Ouch!"

A girl, covering her hair, was forced out from behind the corner.

Six or seven crows circled around her, some pecking at her head, some pulling at her hair, and some tearing at her clothes...

Finally, several crows picked up the girl together and "threw" her in front of Ye Ge.

"Ouch...it hurts so much..."

The girl rubbed the spot where she had fallen and the spot where the crow had pecked at her, pouting and muttering, "How can you be so rude?"

The girl looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, with shoulder-length brown hair, dressed in the clothes of a human adventurer, with a youthful appearance and a petite and cute figure. She was the kind of girl whose appearance easily aroused people's protective instincts.

Ye Ge gave the girl in front of him a deep look: "Are you human?"

“Yes.” The girl patted her pants, stood up from the ground, and said seriously, “Of course I’m human!”

"What are you doing here?"

"Is there even a question? Of course, it's tomb raiding and treasure hunting!"

"Treasure hunting? You're coming to explore this underground palace all by yourself?"

"Yeah, can't you?"

The girl smiled and said, "Luckily, you capable guys were there to clear the way for me, otherwise I really don't know if I would have made it this far."

Ye Ge narrowed his eyes but remained silent.

He used the Heavenly Dao System to scan the other party's attribute panel.

Ye Ge was suddenly horrified.

This is the first time that the Heavenly Dao System has been unable to scan the attributes of a certain person in this world!

"Hey? What's wrong?" The girl stretched out her hand and waved in front of him.

Ye Ge snapped out of her daze.

"You're probably thinking, who am I, and how could a human girl like me dare to venture into the Azure Dragon Palace of Extreme Yin alone, right?"

The girl placed a small hand on her small, unassuming chest, appearing cheerful and outgoing: "Well, let me introduce myself. My name is Ye Xiaoyou. You may never have heard of me, but I'm no ordinary person! Don't let my seemingly harmless appearance fool you; I'm the number one most wanted criminal in the Human Empire! The Imperial Court, the Night Watch, and the Enforcers all have a headache dealing with me. The Human Empress has even put a bounty of eight billion on my head!"

Night Song: "..."

Crow: "...My lord, why does that sound so familiar..."

Ye Ge raised an eyebrow and asked quietly, "Your eight billion isn't Imperial Currency, is it?"

"How did you know?" Ye Xiaoyou blinked, looking quite surprised. "That's right, it's eight billion multi-clan gold coins! I thought no one would believe me if I told them!"

Night Song: "..."
