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

The question in my heart has been answered.

Ye Ge remained lost in thought, seemingly pondering something.

Just as he thought...

"What's wrong with you?" Long Ying looked at Ye Ge with a thoughtful expression.

"Hmm..." Ye Ge said, "It's nothing."

"You don't look like anything's wrong," Long Ying pouted, her voice tinged with resentment. "Can't you tell me what's on your mind?"

Her tone was full of coquettishness, like a young wife complaining to her husband, where was the noble and majestic imperial empress in all of a trace?

Ye Ge was taken aback for a moment, then smiled easily and reached out to gently pinch Long Ying's cheek: "If the court officials saw that Empress Long Ying, who is usually high and mighty in the court, could actually look like this, they would be shocked out of their teeth."

Long Ying's cheeks flushed slightly.

However, since she and Ye Ge, this rebellious minister, had already been completely honest with each other, everything that should have happened and shouldn't have happened had happened...

If that's the case, what's there to be embarrassed about? Instead of pretending to be reserved, it's better to face your own heart.

She leaned close to Ye Ge's ear and whispered, "I...I will only do this to you...you rebellious subject."

"..." Ye Ge raised an eyebrow: "My Empress, you've become so good at flirting now. Back then, you were just a stubborn princess who only knew how to cultivate and challenged me all the time, but never gave up despite repeated defeats."

"Hmph..." Long Ying whimpered and buried herself in Ye Ge's arms, gently hugging him: "So what exactly happened? Why did you have that expression after you looked at the information on that Fallen Angel Queen?"

"Uh..." Ye Ge scratched his face, "This is a bit hard to explain..."

"Could it be that......"

Long Ying paused, frowned slightly, and an idea suddenly popped into her head.

"You didn't... accidentally seduce this fallen angel queen, did you?"

Night Song: "............."

Ye Ge was both amused and exasperated, never expecting Long Ying to have such a peculiar way of thinking: "What are you thinking? How could there be such a thing as accidentally hitting on someone?"

“Who says it’s impossible?” Long Ying pulled away from Ye Ge’s chest, raised her eyebrows and gave him a long, meaningful look: “You’ve flirted with quite a few girls outside.”

Do I look like the kind of person who likes to flirt with girls and have casual affairs?

"Isn't it?"

"..."

Ye Ge remained silent: "Even if she were, she's the queen of the Fallen Angel race, and a dark race at that. How could I possibly do such a thing?"

"As a high-ranking official of the empire, you've already turned against your own empress. What else are you incapable of doing?"

"..."

“Sometimes I even wonder if the demonized mutant genes in your body have mutated into the bloodline of a succubus,” Long Ying snorted.

Ye Ge thought for a moment: "However, I seem to remember that back then, it was a certain empress who acted very domineeringly and took the initiative to pin her important minister against the wall and push him down."

If we're going to categorize it, shouldn't it be the domineering female leader who used her power to coerce, entice, and use unspoken rules to pressure her male subordinates?

How did he become a traitor to the emperor?

“I…” Long Ying’s cheeks flushed and turned red, and she didn’t know how to explain herself.

She then gently bit her lip and forcefully pushed Ye Ge's chest.

They pushed him to the floor of the room.

Looking at him condescendingly.

"I just love being a capricious and domineering empress who coerces her ministers. Do you have a problem with that?"

Long Ying grinned, revealing a small tiger tooth, and gave off a very fierce expression.

Night Song: "...No objection."

Long Ying: "Then you must obediently do as I say from now on!"

Night Song: "..."

......

Two hours later.

"Now, you really don't need to go to court anymore."

"Since I've already stood them up, who cares?"

"..."

Night Song: "Now I know how the Shang Dynasty fell..."

Long Ying asked suspiciously, "What did you say?"

"It's nothing." Ye Ge sat up.

At this moment, Ye Ge suddenly sensed a slight tremor in the power of the Azure Dragon Seven Constellations within his body.

He was stunned.

In his mind, the star pattern of the Azure Dragon's Seven Mansions, with the star representing the dragon's horn at the head, was faintly glowing.

After establishing a connection with the Azure Dragon in the underground palace, Ye Ge felt that his perception of the power of the Azure Dragon's Seven Constellations had improved.

So...

Ye Ge reached out and placed a finger on Long Ying's forehead, between her eyebrows.

Yes, I was right...

Long Ying looked at him, puzzled: "What's wrong?"

“You are the inheritor of the ‘Horn’ star.” Ye Ge lowered his hand: “You possess the holy power node of the ‘Horn’ star in the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon, but because your cultivation is not high enough, it is currently in a latent state and has not yet been developed.”

"The Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon?" Long Ying asked in confusion.

Ye Ge then briefly explained the matter of the Azure Dragon's Seven Constellations to her.

"Really?" Long Ying said, "I absolutely trust you enough. Shall we give it a try now? Let's see if I can help you light up the 'corner' star?"

Ye Ge smiled and said, "Don't rush. To light up the 'corner' star, your cultivation level must reach the Heavenly Revelation Realm."

"Is that so..." Long Ying was slightly disappointed.

She only recently reached the Asura realm.

To break through to the Heavenly Enlightenment Realm through normal means, it would require at least many years of arduous cultivation.

Does that mean it will take a very, very long time before we can help Ye Ge?

"Take this, take it."

Ye Ge took out a Star Tear and handed it to Long Ying.

"What's this?" Long Ying took it. "Such beautiful beads..."

She checked it with the system and was immediately astonished: "This bead... it's actually a god-level item!?? Where did you get it from?"

“Hmm.” Ye Ge didn’t explain the last sentence, but said, “Although this was originally used to cultivate divine power, I have tried it and it is also very effective for cultivating holy power. You are the inheritor of the power of the Horn Star, which means that you have the potential to cultivate holy power. As long as you can raise your holy power, your extraordinary level will soon break through to the Heavenly Revelation Realm.”

Long Ying held the Tear of the Star in her hand and said, "Alright, I understand. I will definitely work hard to cultivate."
