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

"Sister Yuqing..."

Gao Shenxue paused for a moment, then got out of bed wearing a thin cartoon pajama.

The nano exoskeleton on the body surface slowly fades away.

The white metallic substance seemed to gradually melt and shrink back into her skin pores.

The upgraded skin of the girl is like a newborn, with every inch of her skin as white and delicate as a newborn baby.

The girl went to the entrance and opened the door.

"Oh, my little Xue'er~"

As soon as Zhou Yuqing entered the door, she hugged Gao Shenxue tightly, wanting to pick her up and spin her around like she did when they were little.

Unfortunately, the girl had grown up and was very tall, almost as tall as Zhou Yuqing, so it was really difficult for her to do it.

"Sister?" Gao Shenxue tilted her head. "Why are you in Kyoto too?"

"I just missed you and Xiaoye~" Zhou Yuqing smiled and stroked the girl's hair, like petting a cat. "Hey, Xiaoxue'er, did you miss your big sister?"

Gao Shenxue: "Yes."

Although she said that, when the girl was being held by Zhou Yuqing, her calm and gentle gaze was mostly directed at Ye Ge beside her.

Ye Ge leaned against the entryway, arms crossed, and pouted, her eyes gleaming as she said, "Alright, Mom, we're already here with Xue'er, stop pretending. Aren't you going to explain?"

Zhou Yuqing: ∑(⊙▽⊙a

"Explain...explain what?"

Zhou Yuqing looked guilty, her eyes darting around.

Ye Ge took out the Star Tear from his pocket and played with it between his fingers: "You recognize this thing, right?"

Zhou Yuqing: "Yes, I know it. Like I just said, I saw it in a book..."

Night Song: "This excuse is too lame, make up a new one."

Zhou Yuqing: "......"

"And this too." Ye Ge took out his revolver and said leisurely, "You should recognize it too, right?"

When Zhou Yuqing saw the revolver in Night Singer's hand, her pupils dilated in shock and even greater surprise. She instinctively exclaimed, "Dark Justice - Godslayer?! How did you get this gun?!"

Ye Ge crossed his arms again, raised an eyebrow, and looked at her without saying a word.

Zhou Yuqing: "......"

Night Song: "..."

Zhou Yuqing: "......"

Night Song: "..."

"?" Gao Shenxue looked at Zhou Yuqing and then at Ye Ge with a blank expression, having no idea what they were talking about.

"Uh......"

Zhou Yuqing broke the silence first: "Then...then wait for me for two more days, I'll find you again after I've finished writing..."

"Okay." Ye Ge said resentfully, "Remember to also make up a story about why I can use divine and holy power, so that I don't find out too easily."

Zhou Yuqing: "...Okay."

Only then did Zhou Yuqing release Gao Shenxue, then pouted and looked at Ye Ge with a wronged expression.

"You naughty child, you even bully your mother."

Night Song: "..."

Zhou Yuqing reached out and gently pinched Ye Ge's cheek: "You have to keep it a secret for Mom."

Ye Ge sighed helplessly, "I understand."

"Hey hey hey..."

Zhou Yuqing chuckled twice, "Well then, you two little ones chat first, I'll be going now~"

After saying that, Zhou Yuqing fled the room as if she were escaping.

Gao Shenxue glanced at the door with a cool yet innocent look, then at Ye Ge, completely bewildered: "So... what happened?"

Ye Ge sighed again.

Although I still couldn't get the information I wanted from my mother.

Even if she didn't say it, Ye Ge could basically guess the gist of it by making a little guess.

I never imagined I had such a background.

"Something that I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing..."

After Ye Ge finished speaking, he paused, then looked at Gao Shenxue, and suddenly noticed something, revealing a surprised expression: "You...you've broken through to the Saintly Ascension Realm???"

Gao Shenxue looked down at her body, opened her attribute panel, and then calmly nodded, saying, "Yes, that's right."

Night Song: "..."

As expected of the strongest nine-star boss among the human race in the game...

He really is a super monster; his extraordinary talent is just too abnormal.

Even he, a player who uses cheats, can't level up as fast as her, okay?

This is the version before it was corrupted.

If this were the corrupted version of Boss Gao, he would probably have already broken through to the Soul Emperor level, right?

"flutter!"

At this moment, Gao Shenxue threw herself into Ye Ge's arms, hugged him tightly, and inhaled his scent.

Ye Ge was stunned.

"what happened?"

Gao Shenxue buried her face in Ye Ge's shoulder and mumbled, "I missed you..."

Ye Ge's heart stirred.

With snow this deep and heavy, what man could resist?

"Thinking about your childhood again?"

"Um......"

"It's okay, it's all in the past, sweetie."

Ye Ge stroked the girl's hair.

The girl looked up at him, her dark and deep eyes gazing into his eyes: "I need to replenish Xiaoye's energy."

"..."

Ye Ge's lips twitched: "Tomorrow...tomorrow is the first day of the resource competition at the Myriad Races Summit..."

Don't be fooled by the girl's cool and aloof demeanor, or her gentle and snow-like appearance.

But when they get clingy, they really don't let you rest...

Gao Shenxue said earnestly, "I will be very restrained!"

Night Song: "...I don't really believe it."

Gao Shenxue: "Really! I promise!"

The girl held up three fingers, looking serious and earnest.

"..."

"..."

In the end, as expected.

Night Song's disbelief is correct.
