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

Chapter 662 Let's verify it.

Leng Yuening quickly recounted everything she had seen in the Nightmare Heart Mirror to Xiao Yuxi.

After hearing this, Xiao Yuxi's mouth opened slightly, and her eyes widened in surprise, as if she was quite astonished.

Seeing Xiao Yuxi's expression, Leng Yuning blushed and stammered, "Xi...Xi'er, tell me what you think after hearing it? Don't keep looking at Master like that...help Master analyze it too..."

"Hmm..." Xiao Yuxi pondered for a moment: "You mean, the inner demon you saw in that illusion was Ye Ge?"

"Yes, yes, that's right." Leng Yuening nodded vigorously.

"You mean, he appeared in your bedroom?"

"Hmm...that's right."

"And then he..." Xiao Yuxi tilted her head, a hint of confusion in her eyes, "...and confessed his feelings to you?"

“...Uh...yes..." Leng Yuening’s two small hands, which were on her thighs, clenched tightly. Her two thighs, which were under the stone table, came together, and her two little feet couldn’t help but dig her toes into the soles of her shoes, looking very embarrassed.

"Hmm... So you didn't refuse him back then, Master?" Xiao Yuxi asked.

"How could that be! Of course I refused!"

Leng Yuening blushed instantly, gritting her teeth: "Not only did I reject him, I also gave him a good beating! That little thief, he has no sense of propriety at all! He clearly knows that I am his teacher's mortal enemy, yet he still dared to confess to me, and even dared to say such cheesy things to me, he is simply audacious!"

"..." Xiao Yuxi stared blankly at Leng Yuening.

This was the first time she had ever seen her master like this...

"Cough cough..."

Leng Yuening realized she had lost her composure and coughed twice: "Anyway, that's how it is... But I just can't figure out why that brat surnamed Ye appeared in my inner demon illusion. I have absolutely no connection with him, okay?"

Xiao Yuxi thought for a moment: "It's not like we're completely unrelated. Master, you and Ye Ge have had quite a few interactions. He's probably the boy you've spent the most time with during your limited time in the mortal world."

She originally wanted to say that it's normal for young girls who are just beginning to experience romantic feelings to have some fantasies about the opposite sex after meeting boys, and there's nothing strange about it.

But after thinking about it, I felt that saying it like that was a bit inappropriate.

"Who said that?" Leng Yuening frowned: "Yuening Palace is not without male disciples. I have come into contact with plenty of male disciples!"

“But they are always very respectful to you, and you only have a superficial master-disciple relationship with them. You rarely treat them as equals.” Xiao Yuxi shook her head: “Moreover, now the core disciples of Yue Ning Palace are mostly girls, and even fewer of them are close to you.”

“Hmm…that’s true.” Leng Yuening nodded as she thought about it. “But even so, I have nothing to do with that Ye family boy. The illusion of this Nightmare Heart Mirror is really inexplicable. The things it reflects are not accurate at all.”

"If it's not allowed, then why have you been so gloomy and worried these past few days?"

"this......"

Leng Yuening sighed and said helplessly, "Last time I went to the War Academy to find Lan Mi, I originally wanted to talk about my cultivation. During that time, I felt that my Dao heart was unstable and my cultivation had completely stagnated. Not only did I not make any progress, but my cultivation was even gradually declining."

"Although the rate of loss is slow, loss is loss nonetheless. If it continues like this, I might fall to the eighth level of the Heavenly Revelation Realm in less than 300 years... But I never expected to run into the Nightmare Heart Old Monster and encounter the Nightmare Heart Demon Mirror..."

"And what happened after you came back?" Xiao Yuxi asked. "After you escaped the illusion of the Nightmare Mirror, what happened?"

"After coming back..." Leng Yuening said dejectedly, "After coming back, I feel that my cultivation level is decreasing at a faster rate. It used to take about 300 years to drop to the eighth stage, but after coming back, I feel that I might drop a level in just 100 years..."

Xiao Yuxi pondered for a moment, then softly analyzed, "So, the inner demon in that illusion did indeed have some effect on you. Although you successfully escaped from the inner demon illusion, your Dao heart has become even more unstable."

"Hmm..." Leng Yuening frowned slightly, pondering the question as well. She picked up a cup of tea from the stone table, took a sip, and said, "Perhaps..."

"You haven't fallen for Ye Ge, have you?" Xiao Yuxi asked directly.

"Pfft—!" Leng Yuening spat out a mouthful of tea.

"Master, what's wrong?" Xiao Yuxi asked in surprise.

"You...you rebellious disciple, it's all because you talked nonsense!" Leng Yuening said in shame and indignation, "How could such a thing be possible!"

Xiao Yuxi: "But that was indeed what you saw in your inner demon illusion."

"I only saw Ye Ge in my inner demon illusion, but that doesn't prove anything!" Leng Yuening said, "That guy is the personal student of that annoying woman Lan Mi, how could I possibly like him? No, no... I cultivate the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique! No matter who it is, I could never like him!"

Xiao Yuxi smiled slightly: "Since that's the case, why don't we verify it?"

"How do we verify it?" Leng Yue Ning frowned.

“I’ll go with you to Kyoto to find Ye Ge,” Xiao Yuxi said.

Leng Yue Ning: "???"

......

Night City.

After returning from the Demon Realm, Ye Ge went back to the Ye family again.

He wanted to seek advice from his grandfather and ask him about breaking through the divine revelation.

"Lord Yege, what brings you back?"

Upon seeing Yege, a guard placed a hand on his left chest and bowed slightly.

"I've come to ask Grandpa something," Ye Ge said. "Is he still not awake?"

"The former patriarch is currently in seclusion in a secret chamber, cultivating his skills," the guard said.

"Another seclusion?" Ye Ge was slightly surprised.

He remembered that his grandfather had only recently come out of seclusion...

"Lord Yequan seems to have found some breakthroughs." The guard said respectfully, "However, the former patriarch also instructed that if you return, you can go in directly to see him without reporting."

"Is that so?" Ye Ge nodded, then walked directly into the secret chamber.

We walked down into the underground through a dark, narrow passage.

hum...

Buzz...

As the passage neared its end, Night Song sensed an extremely strong demonic energy.

“This feeling is…”

Ye Ge narrowed her eyes, sensing her grandfather's presence.

boom--!

A beam of white light pierced through the passage from the secret chamber.

The powerful demonic winds caused the entire underground chamber to tremble.

What followed was a powerful magic.

Ye Ge was slightly taken aback.
