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

Chapter 1085 I'll Hide First

'Oh no...'

Upon seeing this, the Wood Spirit Priest felt a pang of anxiety and immediately tried to flee.

However, the poisonous swamp had already swallowed his calves. He even felt as if the poisonous mud beneath his feet had come to life, turning into countless cold, slippery tentacles that were frantically dragging his body downwards, trying to devour them completely!

"It's useless." Muraki said coldly, "Wood cannot survive without soil. This move is specifically designed to counter you."

As they spoke, the Wood Spirit Priest's body was pulled in by nearly half again.

Ji Lian's body also sank deep into the swamp.

But she can still move with difficulty.

Muraki used most of her power to control the Wood Spirit Priest, so the pull of the swamp mud on her side wasn't as strong.

Before the swamp reached her chest, Ji Lian raised two fingers and silently chanted an incantation: "Divine Art—Curse Escape!"

As her divine power was activated, her entire body shone with golden light.

"Damn it... Release him!!!" Seeing the situation take a sharp turn for the worse, the Wood Spirit Priest roared and decisively removed the restraints on Muraki, trying his best to break free from the deadly mud beneath him!

But Muraki's figure had already quickly blurred and disappeared in the swamp, as if it had never existed.

boom--

With the viscous sound of the swamp mud churning and closing, the Wood Spirit Priest's body was finally swallowed up by the deep purple swamp, which was surging with the aura of death!

......

After being severely reprimanded by Gao Shenxue, Ye Ge and Gao Shenxue were both exhausted and lay down next to Xia Xiyao to rest, panting and sweating profusely.

Gao Shenxue lay down next to Xia Xiyao and gently poked her soft cheek with her finger: "Yaoyao's sleeping posture is so cute, don't you think?"

Ye Ge smiled.

"By the way, I don't think I've asked you yet," Ye Ge said, puzzled. "How exactly did you break through to the Soul Emperor realm?"

Gao Shenxue: "Use the Heavenly Star."

Night Song: "The Star of Heavenly Path??"

Gao Shenxue then briefly recounted the entire process of how she used the power of the Heavenly Dao to break through to the Soul Emperor Realm.

Ye Ge couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Although he knew that Gao Shenxue's talent was quite amazing.

But he never expected that Gao Shenxue would advance and break through by absorbing the power of the Heavenly Dao!

You should know that even he himself had to prepare for a long time when he tried to fuse the power of gods and demons, and he even used rare and precious materials given to him by his senior sister before he finally succeeded.

But Gao Shenxue actually broke through in one go?

"You're being too reckless." Ye Ge reached out and pinched Gao Shenxue's cheek, her expression stern. "As a scientist, you should know best how dangerous it is to combine divine power and magical power. How could you take such a risk? What if you fail and die? This is just too reckless."

Gao Shenxue's exquisitely beautiful and aloof face was slightly deformed under Ye Ge's kneading, but it did not affect her beauty at all. Instead, it made her even more cute and real: "It's all because Xiao Ye's disappearance made me too worried, so I can only blame Xiao Ye."

"How dare you talk back!" Ye Ge slapped her bottom, deliberately making a fierce expression.

"..." Gao Shenxue looked at him with her clear eyes and said in her uniquely calm, light, unhurried yet inexplicably alluring tone, "Then, Xiaoye, are you going to punish me, your talkative and disobedient mommy?"

"..." Ye Ge's body trembled.

At that moment, some sounds came from outside.

Ye Ge's mental strength was originally at the demigod level, and after Gao Shenxue broke through to the Soul Emperor realm, her perception had long surpassed that of ordinary people.

Both of them sensed that someone was coming.

"The person who came is quite powerful." Gao Shenxue paused, sensing the aura of the newcomer: "She is a martial artist, and moreover, she is a woman."

"..." Ye Ge also sensed the soul power aura of the newcomer.

"This feeling is... Second Senior Sister?"

"Second Senior Sister?"

Gao Shenxue's eyes held a hint of doubt.

“Yes, she’s also your second senior sister.” Ye Ge shrugged. “Her name is Mu Jiannan. She is Teacher Lan Mi’s second student and also the first sword saint of our human race.”

"I see." Gao Shenxue got out of bed and paused for a moment. "She must have come to see you, Xiaoye, right?"

"Yeah, probably," Ye Ge said. "I've been missing for so many days, my second senior sister must be quite worried about me."

Just now, he glanced at his system communication messages and found that many girls had already learned of his return and sent messages to inquire.

However, he has been busy dealing with Miyuki's mother's punishment, so he hasn't had time to reply.

"So, she's also someone who admires Xiaoye, right?" Gao Shenxue said.

Night Song: "..."

"Does Xiaoye like her too?"

"Uh......"

"You don't have to be dishonest with Mommy."

"Hmm... maybe a tiny bit..."

"That's it..."

"Then I'll hide first." Gao Shenxue said, then got up from the bed and walked towards the cabinet.

Night Song: "?"

No... why are you hiding?

Ye Ge remembered that Gao Shenxue and Senior Sister Mu Jiannan had not met yet.

He had originally intended to introduce the two of them to each other...

Gao Shenxue reached out and poked Ye Ge's cheek: "Because I want to see what happens when Xiao Ye is alone with other girls."

Night Song: "........."

Gao Shenxue opened the wardrobe and hid inside. Before closing the door, she blinked her clear, dark eyes at Ye Ge: "But no matter what Ye Ge does, I won't be jealous or blame her. So, please don't worry about me at all." After saying that, the girl closed the wardrobe door.

'How could I not care at all?!'

Ye Ge mentally ranted.

"Junior brother, are you there?"

Just as Ye Ge was still in a daze, Mu Jiannan's voice came from the balcony.

"..."

Ye Ge looked at the cabinet, scratched his face, and, having no other choice, went to open the balcony door.

Mu Jiannan stood outside the door, dressed in a black outfit, his long black hair tied back. His handsome face softened with tenderness the moment he saw Ye Ge: "Junior Brother..."
