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

Chapter 798 What did you change it for, tell me?

After leaving the residence, Yege returned to the hotel.

For the next three days, Kyoto was completely bustling with activity.

The entire city underwent one comprehensive investigation after another.

From the kings and nobles of all nations to the various merchant guilds that came to Kyoto to do business with this All Races Summit, anyone with even the slightest suspicion was knocked on the door by the priests and underwent a rigorous investigation.

The competition at the All Races Summit has been suspended, but the investigation is far from over.

The death of three priests is no joke.

The impact was extremely negative.

The Western Dragon Clan and the Sun Wheel Clan also dispatched a large number of scouts and intelligence personnel to conduct investigations.

In the past two days, news has spread that Verona, the Queen of the Western Dragon Clan, and Muraki, the Martial Saint of the Sun Wheel Clan, have both disappeared.

The Western Dragon Clan, ranked fourth among all races, has actually lost its queen, which is truly ridiculous and a huge loss of face for them. The internet is now flooded with discussions about this incident, with all sorts of speculations, rumors, and conspiracy theories emerging, some even suggesting that Verona and Muraki eloped together...

As the human empress, Long Ying was also trying her best to get the court's law enforcement officers to cooperate with the work of the Divine Officials Hall, so she had been extremely busy these past few days and didn't even have time to call Ye Ge.

......

At night, Ye Ge lay on a deck chair in the garden, her arm behind her head, her deep gaze fixed on the dark night sky.

My mind was filled with what I had said to the Chairman of the Light Association that day...

Why would the chairman of a gene company suddenly be so kind as to bring him into the company, give him shares, and tell him the secrets of this world?

Is something about to happen?

That's why he's in such a hurry?

Ye Ge closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

'He's willing to give up shares and risk letting a wolf into the house; he clearly wants to get something from me...'

The Light Alliance...

Gene companies...

Azure Dragon Underground Palace...

Ye Ge opened her eyes and let out a deep breath.

Especially the last thing that guy said.

"If the company really wants to get rid of you, there are a million ways. Even if you're not afraid, aren't you afraid of implicating the people around you?"

These words were undoubtedly a blatant threat...

I wonder how many Descendants are left in this world now?

According to him, there should still be at least twenty or thirty players among the shareholders of the gene company.

If these people unite, they will indeed be difficult to deal with...

Ultimately, I'm still just a Celestial Revelation Realm transcendent being.

Even if I could fight enemies far stronger than myself, I could only defend myself.

'But if you're thinking about protecting the people around you, that's probably a bit of a stretch.'

'Without using the life-consuming ability 'Limit Break,' one ultimately cannot be a match for a Soul Emperor realm expert.'

'If only I could break through to the Saintly Ascension Realm...'

Ye Ge pondered.

At that moment, a tall figure walked up to his side.

"Hey kid, what are you thinking about?" Night Owl's voice rang out.

Ye Ge, who was lying on the chair, came back to her senses and glanced at him.

Night Owl casually lay down on the recliner next to him, lit a cigarette for himself, and then offered one to Night Song: "Want one?"

Night Song: "..."

"Alright, forget it, lest your mom accuse me of leading you astray again." Before Ye Ge could speak, Ye Xiao put away his cigarette: "You've seemed preoccupied ever since we came back from the Temple of the High Priests, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Ye Ge paused. "I was just thinking about how I can break through to the Saintly Ascension realm in a short period of time."

Night Owl: "???"

"...Good heavens, you've only just broken through to the Heavenly Realm, and you're already thinking about the Holy Descent? Leave some room for the other extraordinary beings to survive..."

Night Owl exhaled a puff of smoke: "Most extraordinary individuals need hundreds or even thousands of years to break through to the Saintly Ascension realm. You must be down-to-earth in your actions so that your foundation can be solid. You're taking too big a step; be careful not to tear your crotch."

Night Owl didn't think too much about it.

He simply thought that Ye Ge just wanted to become stronger.

Ye Ge didn't explain. After a moment of silence, she changed the subject and asked, "Now that you're back, shouldn't the position of clan leader be returned to you?"

As he spoke, he removed the Blackthorn Ring from his finger.

Night Owl said, "Come on, you did such a good job, why would I replace you?"

"Given the current international standing of the Ye family among all races, who else but you can take on this responsibility? If I regain my position as head of the family and the Ye family's performance declines, how am I, as their father, supposed to explain that? People will definitely say that I, as their father, am not even as good as my own teenage son. I'll lose all face."

Night Song: "..."

"However, your words have reminded me. I will tell Shen Tu tomorrow to prepare the documents. I will officially announce that you have become the new patriarch of the Ye family."

Night Owl lay back in the chair, patted his flat stomach, and said comfortably, "Now I can lie flat without any problem from now on."

Night Song: "..."

Ye Ge glanced at him: "You made this decision so suddenly, do you think the other branches of the family will agree?"

Night Owl grinned: "With what you've accomplished so far, who dares to disagree? Just keep up the good work and do your best."

Ye Ge pouted: "You're good at shirking your responsibilities. Once you officially become the clan leader, you'll definitely have more to do, right?"

“Of course.” Night Owl narrowed his eyes: “Once you become the official patriarch, the fate of the Night family, the fate of the people of Night City, and even the fate of the entire Southern Territory will be in your hands.”

"..." Ye Ge remained silent.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing." Night Owl: "I went back to Night City a couple of days ago and found that your grandfather was missing, not in the secret room either. He only left a note. Do you know where he went?"

Night Song: "I don't know."

Night Owl frowned slightly and murmured, "Is that so..."

“I have something to give you,” Night Song said.

"Give it to me?" Night Owl chuckled. "That's strange, what is it?"

Night Song downloaded a weapon from her inventory.

【Extreme Yin - Azure Dragon's Hand】

This is what he obtained from the Extreme Yin Azure Dragon Palace.

It's a glove-type weapon, but unfortunately it's not suitable for Night Song, and he already has a magic sword.

It would be perfect for use by a night owl.

"what is this?"

The owl took the glove.

Judging from its appearance alone, this glove looks like a black dragon claw, with its surface covered in black dragon scales.
