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

"So you deliberately tricked me into joining you in your deception, right?" Xiao Yuxi pouted, making an angry face.

However, her naturally beautiful and dignified face was not particularly dangerous even when she was angry.

"Consider it a favor I owe Sister Yuxi." Ye Ge blinked. "I will definitely agree to do anything Sister Yuxi needs my help with in the future."

Xiao Yuxi smiled and said, "What if I were to do something really outrageous to you?"

"Sister Yu Xi can do some really outrageous things to me anytime," Ye Ge said. "I won't resist."

"..." Xiao Yuxi's face immediately turned red again.

What she really meant was, aren't you afraid I'll make you do something bad? ...or something that would harm your principles or interests.

But when Ye Ge said it that way, it felt ambiguous, and something felt off...

"If you keep lying to your master like this, what will you do in the future?" Xiao Yuxi said, "Your master will find out sooner or later."

“You don’t understand,” Ye Ge said. “The point isn’t whether your master will be deceived, but whether your master wants to be deceived by me.”

"Huh?" Xiao Yuxi paused, looking completely bewildered.

......

Kyoto, Royal Noble Hotel.

"Clap!"

A precious black gemstone wine glass was smashed on the ground, shattering into countless pieces.

A middle-aged man with skin as black as iron and a dignified face stood in front of the hotel's floor-to-ceiling window.

Moonlight streamed down, falling on his cold and resolute face.

He was nearly three meters tall, like an unshakeable black tower, with a pair of black dragon horns on his head, wearing a wide black dragon robe, and exuding a chilling aura.

Gul'thas!

The tyrant of the Western dragon race, the Black Dragon King!

"Still no news?"

Gul's eyes were gloomy, and his deep voice was extremely cold.

A dragon subordinate knelt behind him, trembling: "Yes... we haven't yet found out who killed Prince Glao... because it happened in the Extreme Yin Palace, which is now closed, we can't go to the scene to investigate..."

Gul'thas: "Useless!"

Dragon subordinate: "..."

"I'll give you one more day," Gul'sath said gravely. "If you still can't find out, come back to me with your head!"

"Yes...yes..." The dragon subordinate withdrew.

The sound of a woman crying could be heard intermittently from inside the room.

Queen Verona of the Western Dragon Clan covered her face with her hands and sat in front of her dressing table, weeping uncontrollably.

Not long ago, her illegitimate son, Minglong, was killed by someone unknown.

Not long after, his son Grolon also fell victim to someone else's scheme!

Her two children should have been saved by their father's life essence.

Even if facing a Soul Emperor realm expert, he should be able to escape unscathed!

how come......

And even now, we still don't know who killed them!

They don't even know who to turn to for revenge!

"Woooooooooooo..."

Verona burst into tears.

Gul'sas, annoyed, said, "What's the use of crying? What's done is done."

"Then find out who killed our son!" Verona said angrily. "We don't even know who killed our son! If you find out who killed him, I'll send someone to take revenge myself! It's all your fault, why did you have to tell him about the Azure Dragon Treasure!"

Gul'thas sneered, "He insisted on going himself. That kid is obsessed with climbing the ranks. I warned him long ago that the news about the Night of Extreme Yin was deliberately leaked, so it must be a trap. If it were really that good, why wouldn't he do it himself instead of informing you?"

“…” Verona bit her lip and suddenly stood up.

"Where are you going?" Gul'thas asked, glancing at her.

Verona turned her head: "I'm not happy, let's go for a walk." After saying that, she transformed into a purple dragon and flew away.

"Ugh......"

Gul'thas shook his head helplessly.

"His Majesty."

Another dragon subordinate walked in.

"What is it?" Gul'thas asked.

“It’s from the gene company, people sent by Mr. Karl,” the dragon subordinate said. “Mr. Karl said he has brought the design plan for the new system, as well as blueprints for the Deep Blue system chip.”

Gul's eyebrows twitched slightly.

"Let him in."

"Yes."

......

Verona transformed into a purple dragon and flew to a suburb outside Kyoto.

This is the place where she and that person agreed to meet.

The purple light landed and transformed into human form, becoming a beautiful dragon woman wearing a purple, plush noblewoman's robe.

"Where are you?" Verona frowned. "Come out."

A mass of black energy gathered and eventually transformed into the appearance of a middle-aged man covered in demonic markings.

One of the Four Demon Lords, Nether Soul!

The ghost said, "You've come."

“My son, Grolon, has been murdered.” Verona bit her lip, looking very sad.

“I’ve heard about it,” said the Ghost. “I thought only our son was so unlucky, but I never expected that the third prince of the Western Dragon Kingdom would also suddenly die despite being protected by his blood essence.”

"At a time like this, you still have the nerve to say things like this," Verona said. "So much time has passed, and you still haven't found out who killed the Dark Dragon?"

"We haven't found any evidence, but we have some leads," said the Ghost.

Upon hearing this, Verona immediately asked, "What clue?"

The ghost said, "According to my investigation, it seems that he was harassing a human girl during the time before his death."

"A human girl?" Verona asked.

“Yes,” said the Netherworld Soul. “He is a human race’s peak Apocalypse-level transcendent warrior, known as the strongest sword saint among humans, named Mu Jiannan. Although this kid Minglong is a Saint-level being, I heard that he can’t beat this human girl… It’s precisely because he has been defeated so many times that his desire to conquer has been aroused. I heard that this kid has been harassing this human girl for a long time before this.”

Dragons are inherently lustful, and the underworld knows this very well. His son, who inherited his mother's bloodline, is also a dishonest fellow!

Therefore, he thought it was very likely that this kid had used up the essence blood he had given him in order to force the girl he could never defeat, and as a result, he ran into a powerful enemy and was killed!

After listening to the Ghost's analysis, Verona fell silent, her brows furrowing slightly.

Although it might sound absurd, Verona felt that her illegitimate son might actually do something so worthless!

"Then where is this Mu Jiannan now?" Verona asked.

“She originally lived in a bamboo forest outside the human territory, but I sent people there, and that dwelling is now deserted,” said the Ghost.

"Doesn't this mean the trail has gone cold again?" Verona said angrily.

“But I’ve investigated Mu Jiannan’s background,” Minghun said. “Her teacher is Lan Mi from the Human Race War Academy. She also has a junior brother who is very famous among all races. It is said that during that time, she was in seclusion with them, cultivating in seclusion.”

"Junior brother?" Verona asked, "Who is he?"

The ghost glanced at her: "Night Song."
