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

Xiao Yuxi's face was flushed, and her voice was barely audible: "It's about me using your AI agent... to suppress my inner demons..."

Night Song: "..."

"You, how could you bully me like that, deliberately making me say such embarrassing things..." Xiao Yuxi clutched the skirt on her legs tightly.

Ye Ge chuckled: "How could that be? Sister Yu Xi is so gentle, I would never bully her."

Xiao Yuxi said shyly, "Don't call me Sister Yuxi anymore, just call me Yuxi."

Ye Ge tilted her head and thought for a moment: "That's fine too."

Leng Yuening calls him Master, but he calls Xiao Yuxi Sister Yuxi.

Oh well, the family hierarchy is already a mess anyway...

Just then, Bai Xueling rushed in from outside: "Night Song!"

Ye Ge glanced at Bai Xueling suspiciously, then her expression turned serious: "What's wrong? What happened?"

He rarely saw Lingling in such a hurry.

I know there must be something urgent and important going on, otherwise they wouldn't be acting like this.

Bai Xueling immediately recounted what had just happened in the hotel garden.

"Master has been taken away?" Xiao Yuxi was slightly startled upon hearing this and immediately stood up.

Ye Ge frowned deeply.

A powerhouse at the peak of the Soul Emperor realm...

Among all races, there are not many experts with the peak strength of the Soul Emperor realm.

But who would want to capture Leng Yuening?

Ye Ge's mind raced through the images and information of one peak Soul Emperor realm expert after another, but he couldn't fathom their motives...

Could it have been done by someone from a gene company?

The chairman has already made it clear at the board meeting that the company's top priority is to get rid of him.

If the company feels it can't handle him, it's very likely they'll shift their focus to those around him, hoping to use them to blackmail him!

The more Ye Ge thought about it, the more likely this was to be the case, and his expression gradually became serious.

“Night Song…” Xiao Yuxi bit her lip and turned her gaze to Night Song.

"Don't rush," Ye Ge said calmly. "We don't know who they are yet, so rushing won't help... Lingling, do you know which direction they went?"

Bai Xueling shook her head: "When that power enveloped me, I felt dizzy and the world spun around me. In an instant, I knew nothing and couldn't see anything clearly at all."

Ye Ge nodded, thinking that was probably true.

He first led the two women to Gao Shenxue's room and knocked on the door.

Gao Shenxue quickly opened the door, wearing a snow-white lab coat like she does when conducting scientific research, and a mask on her face. She asked, "What's wrong?"

Ye Ge quickly recounted what had happened. Gao Shenxue nodded and said, "Wait for me a moment." Then she went back inside to get something and went with Ye Ge and the others to the hotel downstairs, to the place where Leng Yuening had been kidnapped.

"It was right here just now." Bai Xueling was still shaken. "The opponent was too strong. I have never felt such powerful soul energy before. Neither I nor Palace Master Leng had any chance to react."

Gao Shenxue raised her hand, and a meticulously designed mechanical moth fluttered its wings and took flight.

The mechanical moth circled in the air, its mechanical wings shimmering with a pale blue phosphorescence, before flying back to Takayuki's finger.

Gao Shenxue said, "This mechanical moth can collect the residual soul energy in the air. With the help of the Sky Eye's nationwide surveillance, I should be able to pinpoint the other party's location."

Ye Ge breathed a sigh of relief.

All I can say is, she truly lives up to her reputation as Miyuki's mother!

"Alright, let's set off immediately to rescue them. I'll gather our forces now."

As Ye Ge spoke, he opened the system panel, preparing to summon some subordinates.

However, after opening the panel, before sending a message, he suddenly hesitated.

The opponent's strength is that of a top-tier expert from one of the myriad races at the peak of the Soul Emperor realm.

Even if ordinary people went there, they would probably only be cannon fodder, even if they had genetic weapons.

Ordinary weapons would be useless, but if we use magic-explosive cruise missiles...

If the other party took Leng Yuening away and did not leave the human territory, or even stayed somewhere in Kyoto City... then even if the other party's location was locked, it would be impossible to use magic explosion cruise missiles to bombard a large area.

The power of the magic-explosive cruise missile is too great; we can't just blow up the city along with it, can we?

Ye Ge had fought Ye Bing before and was well aware of the strength of a peak Soul Emperor realm expert.

Back when she was inside the White Tiger's undead body, Ye Bing hadn't even unleashed her full power yet, but she had already completely overwhelmed him, leaving him utterly powerless. If she hadn't cared about Yue You's life and death and hadn't withstood the God-Slaying Spear head-on, he would have had no chance of winning.

Even someone as unreasonable and overpowered as him, with all his trump cards revealed, could at most only contend with a powerhouse at the initial stage of the Soul Emperor realm.

The chances of defeating a peak Soul Emperor are almost zero.

Furthermore, we don't know exactly how many people are on the other side, whether there's only one peak Soul Emperor realm expert, whether they have other helpers, or whether there are other ambushes...

Ye Ge pondered, his high intelligence level coming into play, his mind instantly considering countless possible scenarios.

'The opponent didn't wipe their tail clean, leaving behind a trace of soul power. There are only two possibilities: either they left it intentionally, or they are so confident in their strength that they don't bother to erase their aura.'

Try to put yourself in someone else's shoes.

'If I were an enemy, I would treat an opponent like Ye Ge with absolute respect.'

Even if I were at the peak of the Soul Emperor realm, with an absolute advantage in strength, I still couldn't be alone.

'I will definitely use Leng Yue Ning as bait and set up an ambush to maximize my chances of victory...'

'After the enemy rushed to their rescue and took the bait...'

Ye Ge narrowed his eyes.

"Ye Ge? What's wrong?" Xiao Yuxi looked at him with her clear eyes. Seeing that Ye Ge had been standing there for a long time without reacting, she seemed a little anxious.

"..." Ye Ge remained silent for a while before speaking: "Don't rush, after all, the other party is a super strong expert at the peak of the Soul Emperor realm."

"I need to find another capable assistant, and we'll only act when we're absolutely certain."
