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

"..."

Lin Chishang's expression turned very ugly.

She couldn't understand how Tianhao knew so much!

Suddenly, Lin Chishang seemed to realize something, and stared coldly at Tian Hao, saying, "You're from the gene company?!"

Tianhao smiled knowingly: "You're not so stupid after all."

"To know my identity, you must be at least a high-ranking employee at the gene company," Lin Chishang said coldly. "What exactly do you want?"

"As I've already said, of course I want you to become my wife." Tian Hao's handsome face was adorned with an impeccable smile. "And, as a shareholder and owner of the gene company, I'm inviting you to join the company."

Lin Chishang's eyes flickered, and she looked up at Tian Hao, wanting to say something, but she held back. She hadn't expected that Tian Hao was not only a high-ranking executive at the gene company, but also a shareholder of that terrifying super conglomerate! No wonder he knew so much about her bloodline.

"Don't worry, as long as you're willing to join, the company won't harm you."

Tianhao said, "After you join, you can become my direct subordinate. As long as you are willing to cooperate, with the phoenix blood flowing through your veins, the company will definitely treat you like a treasure."

Lin Chishang remained silent and did not speak.

Of course, she didn't believe what Tianhao said.

She had heard her mother talk about how terrible and dark the gene company was. It was a terrifying force that would stop at nothing to achieve its goals. The real boss behind it was mysterious and unpredictable. No one ever knew his true identity. Only a fool would believe the promises he made.

Tianhao smiled and said, "Besides, you won't lose out by marrying me. I am the future heir of the Celestial Empire and one of the shareholders of the Gene Company. In any case, I am one of the most powerful people in the world."

Lin Chishang said coldly, "Oh? Is that so? But it seems that His Majesty the Emperor has not yet officially designated who the Crown Prince is, has he?"

"Hehe, he'll make his decision soon." Tianhao smiled confidently. "Or perhaps, I don't need his approval at all right now. Because soon, he might have to come begging me."

Having just achieved breakthroughs in the development of genetic weapons, he is now extremely confident and inflated.

For men, the urge to boast about their great career success to the woman they admire is clearly not something only humans do.

Lin Chishang frowned slightly.

After a moment of silence, she thought for a long time and decided to calm Tianhao down first: "I... need some time to think about it."

"Okay." Tianhao smiled calmly, "But don't drag it out too long. The company is already eager to have you. Only by becoming my wife can I protect you, understand?"

As he spoke, he reached out, wanting to touch Lin Chishang's face.

However, before his fingers could touch his skin, a golden barrier of flames suddenly appeared, and Tianhao quickly withdrew his fingers.

Tianhao's face darkened for a moment, then he smiled calmly again: "Heh... Don't keep me waiting too long. You know I'm not a very patient person."

After saying that, he turned and left the main hall.

Lin Chishang watched Tian Hao's departing figure and let out a heavy sigh.

......

Kyoto, Imperial Palace.

Ye Ge and Long Ying sat facing each other.

The two sat on the bed, forehead to forehead.

[Congratulations! You have fully activated the power of Spica!]

Long Ying's eyes lit up: "It worked??"

"Hmm." Ye Ge smiled slightly: "It seems that my Empress still trusts me quite a bit."

"Hmph, of course, there's no need to doubt it." Long Ying raised her head slightly, gazing at Ye Ge with deep affection: "However, I'm still very happy to know that you trust me too."

"Uh......"

Ye Ge touched his nose.

He thought that since he possessed the power of the seven constellations of the Azure Dragon, when they illuminated each other, all Long Ying needed to do was trust him completely; he didn't need to...

However, as a scumbag... oops, as a warm-hearted man with high emotional intelligence, Ye Ge certainly knows that what women want to hear at this time is not the truth.

"Of course." Ye Ge reached out and pinched Long Ying's little face. "How could I not trust my Emperor?"

Moreover, Ye Ge actually believes that even if he has limitations, the lighting up today will still be successful.

"..."

Long Ying's cheeks were flushed, and she lowered her head slightly, looking somewhat shy.

The Empress only displays this expression when she's in front of Ye Ge.

"By the way, what exactly was the Qiongqi power and the Chaos power that appeared the other night?"

Long Ying sat down beside Ye Ge, leaning her head gently against his shoulder like a little bird: "These past few days, there have been more and more versions of rumors circulating outside, and even I'm starting to lose track of what's going on. Also, I heard that Xia Xiyao is injured?"

Ye Ge shook his head: "It's not exactly an injury, just excessive use of energy."

Then, he briefly explained what happened that night.

Long Ying looked very surprised.

"So, Xia Xiyao was responsible for destroying that old town area?"

Long Ying could hardly believe that Xia Xiyao now possessed such great strength!

"Yes." Ye Ge smiled helplessly.

Long Ying was silent for a moment, then said, "I originally thought that the reappearance of the power of ancient ferocious beasts was just a rumor, but it turns out it's true? And it's even on Xia Xiyao..."

Whether they are ferocious beasts or sacred beasts, they are legendary creatures from the ancient times that have been extinct for hundreds of millions of years.

People of this era have only known about them through historical records and ancient books.

But now that it has suddenly appeared, it really feels unreal.

It's like there are UFO rumors on Earth every year, and then one day, aliens suddenly appear.
