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

“Ye Zi…” Leng Yuening fell into deep thought after hearing this: “I see… So, this child was very likely taken back by the young master of the Ye family.”

"Palace Master, this matter is of utmost importance." Elder Sun said solemnly, "If that child really falls into the hands of the Ye family, I'm afraid things will turn out badly."

Leng Yuening hesitated: "But this time, Xi'er happens to owe that young master of the Ye family a favor..."

Elder Sun hurriedly said, "Human favors are a small matter, but if that child falls into the hands of the Ye family, he will inevitably suffer inhuman treatment and be trained to become a killing machine for the Ye family!"

"Just think about it, that's a demonized family!"

"They have no bottom line, they are cruel and bloodthirsty, they are capable of anything. A child with the talent of nurturing life spirit, in a place like the Ye family, who knows what kind of torture he would be subjected to..."

"Turning her into a killing machine is probably lucky! Those demonized people might want to use 'soul plunder' to directly seize her bloodline and life! Then they could dissect her body for research, and then..."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Leng Yuening shuddered, her mind instantly conjuring up a whole host of images...

Too cruel!

Absolutely not!

Leng Yuening gripped the corner of the table slightly and said seriously, "Here's what we'll do: take one hundred Spirit Gathering Pills to the Ye family and say you're returning a favor to them. Then bring that child back. If they ask for anything else, agree to it."

"Yes." Elder Sun immediately stood up, walked to the door, then suddenly remembered something, "By the way, what if the Ye family refuses to release them?"

Leng Yuening said calmly, "As long as the exchange conditions are sufficient and the benefits are satisfactory enough, they will definitely release the people."

"Yes." Elder Sun turned to leave, but then suddenly remembered something: "But... what if that child doesn't want to come back with me?"

Leng Yue Ning rolled her eyes at her: "Do you think that's possible?"

Elder Sun scratched his head: "That's true..." and then turned to walk out.

Leng Yuening: "Wait a moment."

Elder Sun stopped for the third time, turned around and asked suspiciously, "Palace Master, what's wrong now?"

"Fine, I'll go myself."

Leng Yuening suddenly remembered what Xi'er had said earlier.

"Master, you haven't descended the mountain for far too long, you've been detached from the mortal world for far too long. This is no longer the era of the late emperor..."

Leng Yuening gave a defiant snort.

I'm going to go and see what this mortal world has become!

......

The Demon Tree is growing faster than expected.

In just two days, it has grown from its original height of over twenty meters to over a hundred meters! The canopy and trunk have emerged from the ground and soared into the clouds!

Furthermore, the life energy emanating from the Demon Realm Tree has completely transformed the entire Black Abyss Secret Realm, filling the entire Demon Realm with dark attribute spiritual energy, and countless kinds of ancient Demon Realm plants are blooming here one after another.

On the trees with various colors and magical patterns, some have even borne enormous demon fruits.

Once these Devil Fruits ripen and fall to the ground, they will give birth to entirely new demonic creatures.

Furthermore, the roots of the Demon Tree began to spread further afield, expanding the territory of the Demon Realm...

Ye Jia, in the bedroom.

Ye Ge sat on his bed in his room, closing his eyes and focusing on his cultivation.

The Demon Tree and he were connected; as the Demon Tree grew and absorbed nutrients, he absorbed a portion of that energy.

Therefore, in the past two days, Ye Ge's strength has increased at an astonishing speed!

Fourth level of the Profound Realm...

Fifth level of the Profound Realm...

Sixth level of the Profound Realm...

Seventh level of the Profound Realm!

The main reason why the Demon Tree could develop so quickly in such a short time is...

Krypton Gold!

The Demon Tree can devour everything in the world that possesses energy and transform it into its own nourishment.

Therefore, Night Song can also actively feed the Demon Tree with energy-containing items.

For example, Imperial Gold Coins.

The gold in this other world isn't even entirely the same substance as the gold in Earth's world.

The gold coins of the Qin Empire were made using gold with high-pressure energy, and each gold coin was guaranteed to retain its value, which is why it served as a universal currency in the world.

Even if you use Imperial Gold Coins to trade with other races, there will be absolutely no problem.

It's somewhat similar to the concept in cultivation novels from my previous life, where spirit stones were always used as currency.

Ye Ge had just received a large sum of money from his "kind-hearted" beautiful teacher two days ago.

He now has over two billion yuan in his hands, so it's safe to say that money is the last thing he lacks.

In her previous life, Ye Ge never spent money in the game. Even though she made some money by reselling materials and equipment in the game through the game's commercial system and her decent business acumen, she sold them directly on online trading platforms and converted them into RMB. Therefore, she always wore ordinary clothes.

In this life, he finally experienced the joy of spending money on in-game purchases...

"call......"

Ye Ge opened her eyes and slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

After spending 200 million RMB, I leveled up four levels in one go.

After all, he is only at the Profound Realm now, and his level is still relatively low. In game terms, his experience bar is still relatively small, so it is relatively easy for him to level up by spending money.

However, the rise these past two days feels a bit too rapid.

The body's super cells haven't adapted yet.

Four soul power nodes within his body lit up at once, expanding too rapidly.

Level 4 is an achievement that most people would normally take several years to attain.

And he did it in just two days.

Let's hold off for now.

I'll spend the money in a couple of days.

"Ugh......"

Ye Ge looked at his hands, his expression complicated.

So this is what it feels like to become stronger without effort.

I finally succumbed to depravity and became a shameless whale (a player who spends a lot of money on in-game purchases)...

In his previous life, he was the only ordinary player in the top 10 of the PvP rankings. He originally aspired to become the first ordinary player in history to reach the top without spending a single penny, relying solely on his skills.

In the end, did he still end up like a whale (a player who spends a lot of money on in-game purchases)...?
