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

Nangong Qiuyue didn't know why she was angry.

She didn't even know if she was angry.

There's always a strange feeling in my heart.

I feel so suffocated, so stifled, so uncomfortable...

Even her sister said that Mingming has matured a lot in terms of mentality and style since she became the captain of the Night's Watch!

But for some reason, lately, every time she sees Ye Ge with the girls around him, she feels really uncomfortable...

Is it because I'm just not suited to be in their group?

'hateful......'

Nangong Qiuyue gripped the straight knife tightly in her small hand, and the veins on the back of her delicate, fair hand stood out.

It's time to go on stage.

There's no need to stay in this private room any longer.

Let's vent our frustrations through a fight!

"The next match!"

The announcer's microphone rang out from the arena: "Entering contestant, Human Night Watcher, Nangong Qiuyue!!"

Nangong Qiuyue stood up, picked up her straight knife, and without looking at Ye Ge and the others, walked straight out of the private room, preparing to leave silently.

"Hey, Nangong Hanhan!" Xia Xiyao noticed her and raised her fist, saying, "Go for it!"

Nangong Qiuyue paused for a moment, but didn't turn around. She responded softly with a lack of emotion, "Hmm..." and continued walking forward.

"Qiuyue," Yege said, looking at her profile. "Wait a moment."

“…” Nangong Qiuyue stopped again.

My heart suddenly started beating faster.

Autumn moon?

Why are you suddenly calling me that? Who's being so close to you?

And why is your voice suddenly so gentle? You never used to talk to me like this!

It's strange, even though she's about to enter a life-or-death arena and face warriors from all races, she's not nervous at all.

It turns out that all this guy did was call my name...

Nangong Qiuyue felt her cheeks burning red, as hot as a branding iron.

"...What?" Nangong Qiuyue turned around with a stern face, looking rather unwilling.

But somehow, I felt a strange, lingering expectation...

Ye Ge observed her expression suspiciously: "What's wrong?"

Nangong Qiuyue feigned nonchalance: "What? What happened?"

"You..." Ye Ge continued to observe her complexion, hesitated for a moment, and then said blankly, "You don't look too good. Did you have a bowel movement before bed last night?"

Nangong Qiuyue: "..................."

Xia Xiyao: "......"

Night Owl & Zhou Yuqing: "..."

other people:"......"

Princess Ao Xin turned her head and nudged Tang Chen beside her, asking curiously, "Grandpa Tang Chen, if a human's bowel movements are not good, will their complexion become very pale?"

"Uh..." Tang Chen didn't know how to answer, so he raised his hand and coughed lightly twice: "I'm not too sure either, but it's not quite the same as our dragon race."

"I..." Nangong Qiuyue's face flushed red instantly: "No way! I'm perfectly fine!!!"

Ye Ge chuckled and said, "Then I wish you good luck in the competition. Good luck!"

"I don't care about your encouragement..." Nangong Qiuyue turned her face away, avoiding his gaze, and muttered a pout.

However, after Ye Ge interrupted her, the gloomy and blocked feeling in her heart disappeared by more than half.

"I'm leaving!" Nangong Qiuyue said.

"Autumn Moon." Night Song called out to her again.

Nangong Qiuyue stopped abruptly at the door, turned around angrily, and her hair, which was tied in a bun at the back of her head, trembled violently: "What's wrong!?"

Ye Ge smiled faintly: "Xue'er has prepared a weapon for you." Then she turned to look at Gao Shenxue.

At this moment, Gao Shenxue stood up and, as expected, downloaded a technological straight sword from the system space.

Nangong Qiuyue hesitated for a moment: "I...I have my own weapon."

Gao Shenxue approached her with a straight sword: "This was specially commissioned by Xiaoye and made for you."

Nangong Qiuyue was taken aback.

She glanced at the high-tech straight knife in Gao Shenxue's hand, which was made entirely of nano-alloy material.

The blade is engraved with some peculiar patterns, which seem to be filled with special jade, as if it has been specially enchanted.

The hilt was also inlaid with jade, and even had the character "歌" (ge, meaning song) engraved on it, though it was written in demon script.

'He... specially commissioned Gao Shenxue to make this for me...?'

Nangong Qiuyue remained silent.

"I...I didn't ask him to do it." Nangong Qiuyue muttered hesitantly, "Who told him to take it upon himself...And why is his name engraved on my knife? That's so strange."

"Alright then." Gao Shenxue said softly in her ever-calm voice, "Since you don't like it, I'll take it back and use it as a fusion material for alchemy."

Nangong Qiuyue: "???"

As she spoke, Gao Shenxue actually prepared to put the weapon back into her inventory.

'I was just saying! You're really not going to give it to me?'

Seeing this, Nangong Qiuyue quickly snatched it away: "Since it's already made, I'll at least use it once or twice. Anyway, if you want to use it as a fusion material, it doesn't matter if you throw it into the furnace after using it a few times..."

Ye Ge chuckled softly beside her.

Nangong Qiuyue gripped the straight sword in her hand, and faintly felt a strong wind-attribute aura surging from it, as if it were merging with her soul energy.

It was indeed specially made for her; Ye Ge wasn't lying.

Moreover, when she scanned the item information with the system, she discovered that it was actually a gold-quality weapon!

[Weapon: Moon Song]

[Type: Straight Blade]

[Quality: Gold]

【property:......】

Nangong Qiuyue's heart raced even faster. She thought, "Moon Song?" Why did this guy give this weapon such an ambiguous name? Could it be a combination of her "Moon" (referring to her name, Nangong Qiuyue) and his "Song" (referring to his name, Night Song)? Wouldn't that be like a token of love...? But we're clearly just friends, this is so strange...

In fact, this straight sword, in addition to using nanotechnology alloy, also uses the gold-quality material "Azure Dragon Jade" that Night Song obtained in the Azure Dragon Palace last time, so it is of course a gold-grade weapon.

Moreover, its true power is far greater than what is apparent on the surface.

"What are you daydreaming about?" Ye Ge said. "It's time to go on stage."

"Ah...oh...of course I know!" Nangong Qiuyue put away her straight sword and left the private room.

"Why does Captain Nangong seem a bit strange today?" Li Shuying asked.

Xia Xiyao watched Nangong Qiuyue leave and sighed softly in her heart.

This silly girl, could she be just like her...?
