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

“Yes, Ququ is right,” Yege said.

Xia Xiyao blinked: "So this operation is just the few of us?"

“No, that’s not it,” Ye Ge said. “I will mobilize some Ye family experts equipped with genetic weapons, and... summon some warriors from the Demon Realm.”

Nangong Qiuyue pouted: "Tch, so you mean you don't trust us Night's Watchmen?"

"Anyway, it's settled then." Ye Ge pinched her nose, then turned to her and said, "Xue'er, use the Deep Blue System to bring up the map of Thunder Rift Valley. We'll leave the personnel distribution and sniping positions to you."

Gao Shenxue sat in front of the computer and calmly nodded: "Okay."

"Um..." Jiang Xiaoming rubbed his hands together nearby, looking expectant, "Can I go too?"

Ye Ge asked in confusion, "You?"

"Of course!" Jiang Xiaoming pounded his chest forcefully. "Now that I possess the power of the Zhu Yan, I can definitely be of help, right? You have no reason not to take me with you!"

Xia Xiyao asked curiously, "You can already control the power of the Zhu Yan? What if the Zhu Yan baby in your token doesn't cooperate with you?"

Jiang Xiaoming: "Uh..."

He scratched his head for a while, then said anxiously, "Ye Ge, you promised to teach me how to control the power of the Zhu Yan ghost! You have to help me find a way to teach me!"

Nangong Qiuyue curled her lip: "Jiang Xiaoming, Zhu Yan is an ancient ferocious beast, an eleventh-tier undead ghost! And you're just a Ghost Tamer at the Hundred Souls Realm. How can you become an expert so easily? Ye Ge isn't a god..."

Unexpectedly, Ye Ge said nonchalantly, "Sure, that works."

Nangong Qiuyue and the other girls all looked at him with surprise.

"Really?" Jiang Xiaoming was stunned for a moment, still somewhat incredulous.

Ye Ge shrugged: "Of course it's true. I always keep my word."

"Then...then...okay!" Jiang Xiaoming stood up excitedly, rubbing his little hands together: "When will you teach me?"

"It's up to you." Ye Ge leaned back with a relaxed expression and smiled. "If you're willing, you can do it anytime, right now."

Jiang Xiaoming was overjoyed; he never expected happiness to come so suddenly.

"Okay, okay... I'll wait for you in the training room on the second floor of the hotel now! Hurry up and come!"

After saying that, Jiang Xiaoming turned around and left without waiting.

"You just agreed to it like that?"

Gao Shenxue tilted her head and looked at Ye Ge: "I just analyzed his cell sample with a computer. His cells contain thousands of special mitochondria. These mitochondria can enhance his ability to bear the soul, and they are also very compatible with Zhu Yan's ferocious power. This makes his body a truly perfect vessel for the soul..."

"Really?" Nangong Qiuyue was somewhat surprised: "That silly, immature kid actually has such talent?"

"But unlike you, he has never systematically learned the techniques for controlling special energies such as divine magic, holy power, and malevolent energy."

Gao Shenxue looked at Ye Ge and continued, "With his current abilities, he probably won't be able to learn to control the power of Zhu Yan in a short period of time."

Jiang Xiaoming is different from Xia Xiyao.

Xia Xiyao was originally a descendant of the Chaos Bloodline, so even though she hadn't learned it, controlling evil energy was completely instinctive for her, just like how people are born knowing how to breathe.

Jiang Xiaoming and Zhu Yan were completely unrelated, like a person who suddenly grew wings.

Although they have wings, they have never experienced the feeling of flying. If they were to jump off a cliff directly, they would definitely die.

"Do not worry."

Ye Ge shrugged easily: "It's not difficult at all, it'll be quick and easy. Besides, he doesn't even need to learn it."

Gao Shenxue murmured, pondering Ye Ge's words: "He doesn't need to learn..."

......

Practice room.

Ye Ge and Jiang Xiaoming stood facing each other.

Ye Ge crossed his arms, looking relaxed.

Jiang Xiaoming looked a little nervous, fidgeting constantly, and his palms were sweating.

"How...how do we begin?"

Jiang Xiaoming asked cautiously.

Ye Ge yawned and then said, "Take out your token."

"Oh..." Jiang Xiaoming took out the token of the city lord of Mingcheng, raised an eyebrow and glanced at him: "And then?"

Night Song: "Recite the Ghost-Controlling Incantation to awaken Zhu Yan and let him possess your body."

Jiang Xiaoming: "...Huh?"

Night Song: "What 'ah'? Hurry up."

"oh oh......"

Jiang Xiaoming had no choice but to grit his teeth, close his eyes, raise two fingers, and silently recite the incantation to control ghosts.

"Awaken the Undead—"

"Eleventh-tier Ghost God - Ferocious Ape Zhu Yan!"

"..."

Soon, Zhu Yan's scarlet eyes appeared in his mind, and he was given a severe scolding:

"Get out of here!!!"

"The contract I made with your family only stipulated that I would help you strengthen the contracted ghosts, and that I would only intervene when your family faced a life-or-death crisis."

"You think I'm your henchman?! You think you can just use my power whenever you want??"

"Also, I told you before, stay away from that brat Ye Ge, don't be fooled by his sweet talk."

"I've never seen anyone as stupid as you! They didn't even remember your name before! And they deliberately humiliated you! And you actually fell for their lies with just a few words!"

"You made me lose face in front of Qinglong and that brat!"

"You still have the nerve to come looking for me now?!"

Jiang Xiaoming quickly explained, "No, you misunderstood. Ye Ge does remember my name."

"He did that on purpose to motivate me."

"Actually, he has feelings for me. He's always thought highly of me and has always been paying attention to me! He's actually a very good person..."

Zhu Yan: "................."

(╬￣ Pan￣)

"roll!!!!"

"..."

After a while, Jiang Xiaoming awkwardly opened his eyes.

"No... Zhu Yan won't agree..."

Ye Ge patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be discouraged, do as I say and try again."

Jiang Xiaoming: "...Okay."

Night Song: "Take a deep breath and close your eyes."

Jiang Xiaoming did as instructed, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes.

Ye Ge: "Don't chant any spells. Just recall the feeling of being possessed by Zhu Yan before. Enter a meditative state, and then try to establish a mental connection with him. Circulate your soul power through your meridians to activate the extraordinary cells in your body."

Jiang Xiaoming: "Okay."

Night Song: "One last shout—Zhu Yan, wake up and pay your rent!"

"..." Jiang Xiaoming opened his eyes in surprise: "Huh?"

"Snapped!"

Ye Ge tapped him on the head: "Don't ask, just do it."

"Oh, oh..." Jiang Xiaoming closed his eyes and did as Ye Ge said.

Ye Ge also closed his eyes.

He raised a finger and touched Jiang Xiaoming's forehead.

Then he sank into the world of consciousness.

He began a spiritual communication with Zhu Yan.

"Hey, Zhu Yan," Ye Ge said as soon as she entered the mental space, "I'd like to borrow your power."
