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

"..."

Ye Ge chuckled silently.

"By the way," Ye Ge then asked, "How's your cultivation of the Azure Dragon Holy Power going?"

Leng Yuening was engrossed in playing with her new toy when she heard Ye Ge talking about cultivation. She replied, "Hmm... it's alright. This power is still too strong compared to soul power. I had a little trouble controlling it at first, but I've made some progress."

As she spoke, she raised her right hand and activated the power of the Kang constellation in the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon. A ball of white holy energy gathered in her palm: "Look."

Ye Ge glanced at it and roughly understood Leng Yuening's current cultivation level.

Hmm, as expected of the Palace Master of the Moon Condensation Palace, the number one immortal cultivation sect of the human race, her talent is truly remarkable. This kind of cultivation progress is really extraordinary.

Of course, he's definitely a few levels below.

Ye Ge thought to himself, "Last time, my teacher said that if he wanted to successfully fuse the power of gods and demons, then lighting up all the stars of the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions was the key."

The more stars he lights up, the stronger his control over the ancient power becomes.

Leng Yuening and he had been calling each other master and disciple for quite some time now...

"Ning'er," Ye Ge decided to test the waters, "Do you trust your master?"

Leng Yuening was taken aback, wondering why Ye Ge would suddenly ask such a question.

"Hmm..." Leng Yuening was still a little shy, thinking that Ye Ge wanted to say something, so she lowered her head: "You helped me repair my unstable Dao heart, and brought me back to the right path from the brink of demonic possession... You also helped me improve the flaws of the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique, taught me the Azure Dragon Technique, and helped me light up the Kang Su Star... You are my master now, how could I not trust you?"

“Actually, the stars you have illuminated so far only illuminate the yin half,” Ye Ge said. “I am the same. Although I possess the inheritance of all the stars of the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions, I only have the yang half.”

“So…” Leng Yuening paused, then pondered, “Is there a way to light up the other half as well?”

“Of course.” Ye Ge looked at her: “Yin-Yang beings who possess the same star-related inherited power can illuminate each other’s missing half of the star. However, to do this, the two people need to have absolute trust in each other.”

Leng Yue Ning was stunned, staring at Ye Ge, her fair cheeks gradually flushing red, as if she had misunderstood something: "...Ah...is...that so...?"

“Hmm!” Ye Ge looked at her earnestly: “I was thinking that if our trust has reached a certain level, we can try to light up each other’s missing half of the star power now.”

Leng Yue Ning: "!!!"

This...this is impossible!?

They were master and apprentice!

But......

Leng Yue Ning was stunned.

Looking at Ye Ge's earnest eyes.

Her fair face instantly turned bright red.

White steam even rose from his head...

"What's wrong with you?" Ye Ge asked suspiciously, waving his hand to pat the steam rising from Leng Yuening's head to help her cool down.

"This...this isn't a good idea..." Leng Yuening's eyes darted around, her heart pounding, and she stammered, "What...what if word gets out..."

"Get out?" Ye Ge asked, puzzled. "There are only the two of us here, how could it get out?"

Ye Ge thought that Leng Yue Ning was worried that the power of the Azure Dragon would be coveted by others.

Leng Yuening: "But..."

Night Song: "?"

"..."

Leng Yuening looked up at Ye Ge's earnest and pure gaze.

Clean, upright, and without any impurities...

Does Ye Ge think this is nothing? ...

But this is too much...

"Moon Condensation." Night Song said seriously, "To be frank, our human race may face a terrible catastrophe next."

Leng Yuening was taken aback: "So serious... what kind of disaster?"

"War," Ye Ge said. "Perhaps you can't sense it, after all, during the Ten Thousand Races Summit these past few days, everything between the races seemed harmonious on the surface. But in reality, the undercurrents are surging beneath the surface."

"Although our human race now possesses many advanced weapons, we still have far too few truly extraordinary individuals. You must understand that no matter how powerful the weapons are, they are still used by humans."

"So we must become stronger so that we can protect the important people around us when the time comes."

Ye Ge placed a hand on Leng Yuening's shoulder: "Can you understand?"

"..."

Feeling Ye Ge's hand on her shoulder, Leng Yuening's body trembled.

"I...I understand..."

Leng Yue Ning lowered her head.

After a long while, she took a deep breath, as if she had made a decision.

"I understand... For the future of humanity, I... I'll handle it!"

“Hmm…” Ye Ge looked puzzled.

However, Leng Yuening's tone made it sound like she was about to go to the battlefield.

It's just about activating the power of a single star, why is it described as going to one's death heroically...?

Is it because they heard that war might break out, and that's why they're nervous?

Strange. Leng Yuening is over a thousand years old. Logically speaking, she should have witnessed war before, and this wouldn't be her first experience. It shouldn't be like this...

"Then... shall we begin now?" Leng Yuening bit her lip.

"Mm." Ye Ge nodded, little did she know that Ye Ge had misunderstood: "Of course."

“…Alright.” Leng Yuening took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and slightly raised her head: “Come on, Master, I’m ready…but, but you must be gentle!”

Night Song: "?"
