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

In the barrier.

The world created by Bing Xin is like a snow-white fairyland.

Thousands of prisms hung from the dome, refracting a pale golden divine light that bathed the entire space in a glassy hue. The ground was a single, translucent piece of cold jade, reflecting the floating petals of the ice lilies. Tiny frost crystals clung to the edges of these petals, vanishing as starlight the moment they touched the jade steps.

High above the dome, jade patterns floated, slowly rotating like stars. Each pattern flowed with liquid holy light, casting vibrant sacred totems onto the ice surface.

Leng Yuening stared blankly at Bingxin sitting by the stone table, finally recognizing her and exclaiming in surprise, "You are... Senior Aunt Bingxin?!"

Bing Xin glanced at her indifferently.

Although she was wearing a helmet that covered half of her face, Leng Yuening recognized her at a glance.

"So you're still alive!"

Leng Yuening exclaimed in surprise.

Then, like a little child, she ran forward, opened her arms, and tried to hug the other person: "Waaah, that's great, Uncle Bingxin! I thought... Ouch..."

Bingxin extended a finger and pressed it against her forehead, saying in a cool and calm voice, "Be more composed and control your emotions. You cultivate the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique, and not being disturbed by worldly emotions is the most basic foundation. I just praised your progress in cultivation, but I didn't expect you to have forgotten even this."

"Well......"

Leng Yuening touched her forehead.

She lowered her head, like a child who wanted to be pampered by an elder but was instead scolded by them.

"I heard you're now the Palace Master of Moon Condensation Palace, so you shouldn't be like this." Bingxin's tone was calm and indifferent, but with a hint of reprimand: "With this kind of mentality, I don't understand how you broke through to the Saint Realm. Why are you still acting like a child?"

Leng Yue Ning: "......"

"Yes, I'm sorry, Senior Uncle... It's been so long since I've seen you, Ning'er was a little too excited, hehe..."

Leng Yuening touched her head.

Looking at Bingxin's attire, he asked, "Senior Uncle, are you now... a member of the Light Alliance?... or a member of the Temple of the High Priests?"

“It’s neither quite right, but it is also quite wrong.” Bing Xin said calmly, her voice carrying a sacred rhythm, as if she had completely transcended the mundane world: “Let’s not talk about that now, I have something to ask you.”

Leng Yuening was taken aback: "Please speak."

"I recently returned to the Human Empire." Bingxin put down her teacup and asked calmly, "I heard that you've been in close contact with Ye Ge, the new patriarch of the Ye family, lately?"

She came to the Royal Noble Hotel today to investigate Ye Ge.

Unexpectedly, he encountered Leng Yuening.

Moon Condensation Palace is the number one righteous sect of the human race, how could it have any dealings with a demonized family?

Bingxin initially thought it was just a rumor, but when she saw Leng Yuening there, she began to have doubts!

"..."

Leng Yuening guessed that her senior sister Bingxin was going to bring this up, but when she actually asked, she still panicked: "This, this..."

Bing Xin stared at her expression, narrowing her eyes: "It's actually true?"

Leng Yuening lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers: "Master, Senior Uncle, it's like this... Ye Ge is a good person..."

"A good person?" Bingxin's tone grew even colder: "You seem to have forgotten that he is a genetically modified demon. They are more bloodthirsty and warlike than demons, and more cunning and treacherous than humans. Have you forgotten how many disciples of Moon Condensation Palace have died at the hands of demons? Have you forgotten how your master died?"

Leng Yuening: "He...he's different..."

Bing Xin: "......"

Leng Yue Ning: "......"

"I understand." Bing Xin said expressionlessly, "It seems you've been brainwashed by him."

"Really, it's not true!" Leng Yuening panicked.

“You were a homebody, introverted, socially awkward, and naive when you were young. I told you long ago that you should get out into the world and observe all things from the perspective of the natural order so that you can know the filth and evil of all things.” Bing Xin paused. “But obviously, you didn’t listen to my words, which is why you were so easily deceived by sweet words.”

“…” Leng Yuening lowered her head.

"How exactly did you break through to the Saintly Ascension realm?" Bingxin frowned and questioned, "What level of your Supreme Forgetfulness Technique have you comprehended?"

Leng Yuening: "This..."

Her slender, fair fingers twisted together, and after much deliberation, she finally made a decision.

"Master, senior master... actually, the cultivation method I'm practicing now is no longer the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique..." She decided to tell the truth.

Bing Xin's expression changed: "What did you say? What kind of cultivation method are you practicing now?"

Leng Yuening bit her lip and forced herself to answer, "The Supreme Intense Passion Technique..."

"What?" Bing Xin's tone remained largely unchanged, still detached from worldly affairs, pure and aloof.

But Leng Yuening truly felt a stern and oppressive aura!

Supreme Passionate Technique?

Although it's only a single character different, it doesn't sound like a legitimate martial arts technique at all!

If you didn't know better, you might think it was a martial art from the Hehuan Sect just by hearing the name!

Bingxin's voice turned serious: "Where did you get this technique? Tell me the truth!"

Leng Yuening: "Yes, it was Ye Ge who helped me improve it... He corrected some flaws in the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique..."

"Night Song?" Bingxin tightened her grip on the teacup slightly, and in an instant, the teacup turned into a wisp of gray smoke and vanished into nothingness.

She slowly placed her hand on the table, paused for a long while, and then said sternly, "You audacious traitor! As a disciple of the Moon Condensation Palace, how dare you allow an outsider to modify the sect's direct lineage cultivation techniques without authorization! And this person is even a demonized human! Have you gone mad?!"

Startled, Leng Yuening knelt down, her knees buckling, and hurriedly explained, "That's not how it is, Senior Uncle! Please listen to me! The reason Ye Ge modified the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique's cultivation method is because I encountered inner demons during my practice. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid I would already be..."

Then, she explained the matter of her inner demons.

"Inner demons..." Bingxin fell silent. It wasn't uncommon for cultivators to experience inner demons, so she felt that Leng Yuening wouldn't lie to her about this: "Hmph, even if that's the case, it's because you didn't cultivate properly. You cultivate the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique, which should have purified your mind and reduced your desires, yet you've developed inner demons. This can only happen if your will is weak!"

Leng Yue Ning lowered her head and did not refute.

"What is your inner demon?" Bing Xin asked.

“I…I…” Leng Yuening dared not speak.

Bing Xin's tone was sharp: "You should know that you can't fool me with lies. You'd better tell the truth."

"..."

Leng Yuening bit her lip.

He remained silent.

"It seems you've long forgotten the sect's teachings." Bingxin exuded a chilling aura, clearly showing her anger: "Since that's the case, then I will..."

Before the words were even finished, the world inside the barrier suddenly began to shake violently for no apparent reason!
