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

Chapter 1369 A Trip Back to Kyoto

Ye Mengyu raised her hand with a grin: "But, Xiao Ge, I also want to stay by your side, so what should I do?"

Night Song: "...Stop messing around."

Clearly, this person is deliberately trying to cause trouble...

Bai Xueling sat quietly beside Ye Ge, holding a steaming teacup in both hands. She calmly took a sip and said indifferently, "What's the point of arguing about this? It's so childish."

Yao Yue leaned closer, her tone playful: "Little kitty, you're probably thinking: 'Only I can rightfully stay by my master's side, never leaving him, and even snuggle inside his clothes to feel his warmth while we move together. You guys are fighting tooth and nail over this! Hehehe...' right?"

Bai Xueling's indifferent face twitched slightly, and the cat ears on her head twitched uncontrollably. She said expressionlessly, "Witch...prepare to die..."

Ye Ge then looked at Long Ying and asked, "Long Ying, how's the production of the mobile fortress vehicle and the substitute doll going these days?"

“Of course everything went smoothly.” Long Ying crossed her arms and said in a slightly teasing tone, “As the Empress, I personally stayed in the capital to review every production report every day and urge the court officials to keep a close eye on the factories in various places. I’ve almost become your personal foreman.”

Ye Ge smiled faintly: "But now it seems it was worth it, wasn't it? We'll be able to put it to use soon."

Long Ying smiled faintly, then glanced at everyone: "They should all be proficient in controlling the puppets by now, right? Don't wait until they're on the battlefield and find themselves uncoordinated, having to relearn how to walk."

"Hmph, we've been practicing this for ages!" Nangong Qiuyue grinned. "Long Ying, since you ascended the throne, it's been a long time since you've fought against the alien races on the battlefield, hasn't it? You should warm up properly, lest you forget all your magic seals and spells, which would be a disgrace to the human royal family!"

Long Ying squinted and crossed his arms, saying, "Perfect, there's a combat training room right here. Why don't I practice with you later and see if you've improved over the years?"

Nangong Qiuyue: "Hehe, I couldn't be happier..."

Ye Ge smiled helplessly and stood up: "If you want to spar, then go ahead and spar. I also have something to do and need to go out for a bit."

Gao Shenxue looked up at him and asked, "Where are you going?"

Night Song: "I need to go back to Kyoto."

Everyone looked surprised.

Mu Jiannan asked in surprise, "Junior brother, the Alliance of Ten Thousand Races is going to launch a counterattack on the Zerg nest tomorrow. What are you doing going back to the human territory so late at night?"

Ye Ge said, "I need to go to the Azure Dragon Palace, which is the mausoleum of the late emperor."

Long Ying was slightly taken aback: "You want to enter the late emperor's mausoleum? Could it be that you intend to...?"

At the beginning of the All Races Summit, the Five Elements Officials temporarily took charge of the imperial mausoleum in the name of the gods, intending to study the Azure Dragon Palace, but ultimately found nothing.

Now that Ye Ge possesses the power of all the stars of the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions and has the approval of the Azure Dragon Elder, he can naturally enter the Azure Dragon Palace directly through normal means.

"The sacred soul of the Azure Dragon is still sealed there," Ye Ge said. Although he can now communicate with the Azure Dragon Elder at any time, the Azure Dragon's soul is not actually with him, but is still sealed in the Azure Dragon Palace. Ye Ge must help the Azure Dragon Elder break the seal in order to obtain the Azure Dragon's full power.

"Moreover, according to legend, there should still be a piece of the Azure Dragon's skeleton there, which is the Azure Dragon Treasure that all races and those gods have always coveted," he said.

Everyone's expression shifted slightly.

Bingxin remained silent for a moment: "Is it that legendary treasure that can allow a Soul Emperor realm expert to advance to the demigod realm?...?"

Xia Xiyao sat on the ground, looking up at Ye Ge in a daze: "Then... then if you get it, wouldn't you be able to advance to demigod???"

Ye Ge smiled and gently stroked the top of her head: "It's not that easy. Legends are just legends. Everyone says that if you get the Azure Dragon Treasure, you can break through to become a demigod, but in reality, no one in the entire race has ever tried."

Long Ying's expression turned serious: "Then... should I mobilize the capital's troops to guard the outer perimeter of the imperial mausoleum? The Azure Dragon Treasure is so important; all races are secretly coveting it. What if someone follows you and sneaks in to steal it..."

“No need to worry.” Ye Ge shook his head. “It’s not the time of the Ten Thousand Races Summit now, and all the races have already withdrawn from the capital. Besides, with my current strength, no one among the ten thousand races can follow me without my noticing. On the contrary, making a big fuss would attract more attention... So we can just keep a low profile. If we want to bring people, just a few will be enough.”

“Then I’ll go with you!” Xia Xiyao, Long Ying, Nangong Qiuyue, Yu Li, Qu Qu, Leng Yue Ning, Mu Jiannan, Xiao Yuxi, Li Shuying, Bai Qing and more than a dozen other women spoke in unison again, almost at the same time.

The next moment, the women exchanged glances, their hostility and sharpness resurfacing, as if they once again regarded everyone around them as competitors.

Night Song: "..."

......

one hour later.

Ye Ge, Gao Shenxue, Xia Xiyao, Bai Xueling, Nangong Qiuyue, Long Ying, and Jiang Xiaoming returned to Kyoto together through the teleportation array and arrived at the Imperial Mausoleum Palace.

Finally, the final decision on who would be with Ye Ge was made by drawing cards...

Xia Xiyao looked around and suddenly noticed something. Her eyes lit up, and she said with a grin, "Speaking of which, I just remembered! Our lineup is exactly the same as the lineup we used to go on that mission together back then!"

Nangong Qiuyue was stunned for a moment, and looked around: "It really is... but why is Xiaomingzi here?"

Jiang Xiaoming: "......"

"You can't say that," Xia Xiyao said. "Although Xiaomingzi wasn't in our team for that mission, at least we were all together when we returned after the mission was completed."

Nangong Qiuyue thought about it carefully and nodded: "It seems that it really is. It seems that Xiaomingzi's team was kidnapped by the Wilderness Gang. They were in a terrible state, but we managed to rescue them in the end."

Jiang Xiaoming: "...If you could remember these embarrassing things about me as well as you remember my name, that would be great."

"But... Night Song, I'm so touched!"

Jiang Xiaoming had a touching expression on his face. He hadn't originally participated in the card drawing, or rather, he wasn't even qualified to participate, as he had been ostracized by the group of girls. But Ye Ge had taken the initiative to bring him along.

"I never expected you'd be willing to take me along! I...I...I really..."

"Then you shouldn't be so moved," Ye Ge said. "Actually, I didn't bring you with me."

Jiang Xiaoming was stunned, not understanding Ye Ge's meaning: "Uh?...It wasn't me you brought along? Then who was it?"

Ye Ge slowly raised her hand and pointed to Jiang Xiaoming's stomach: "Of course, it's the guy inside you."

Xia Xiyao: "Σ( ° △ °|||)︴?!??"

Nangong Qiuyue and Long Ying: "〣( ?Δ? )〣？！！？？"

Night Song: "...I was referring to Zhu Yan."
