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

Chapter 1082 I'll Punish You Severely

Soon, Ye Ge also imbued Li Shuying and Bai Qing with his magical runes.

After breaking through to the ninth stage of the Saintly Realm, he was able to bestow ten magical runes upon others.

Yege explained the usage and precautions of the spell seal to the two women.

"After activating the curse seal, you can obtain demonic power that is one level lower than mine, which is the eighth level of the Saint Realm, for a short period of time."

"But remember, you only have fifteen minutes."

"And, although you have received my magic, you cannot use my magic skills. You can only use this magic to develop your own skills."

Li Shuying's eyes lit up: "Eighth level of Saintly Ascension Realm!"

Very good!

In this way, if war breaks out again, she can finally help Lord Yege!

"However, obtaining this curse mark also means that you can no longer betray me." Night Song made this clear to them before enchanting them with the curse mark.

"I was originally Lord Yege's warrior," Li Shuying said solemnly. "Even if Lord Yege were to order me to die one day, I would be willing! How could I betray him?"

"...It's not that bad." Ye Ge shook his head with a wry smile: "I gave you the curse marks to save your lives. I've said it before, you are all my people, and I will not allow anyone to harm the people around me."

Li Shuying stared blankly at Ye Ge, her face filled with emotion: "...Yes!"

Bai Qing said with a smile, "Lord Ye Ge is a good man who doesn't discriminate between the two."

"Of course." Ye Ge glanced at her: "Whether it's my first wife or my second wife, I will treat them equally."

Bai Qing was stunned for a moment. Li Shuying next to her probably didn't fully understand Ye Ge's meaning and thought that Ye Ge was just teasing them. Only Bai Qing remembered that the "little wife" joke was from when she was captured by Ye Ge. She asked Ye Ge to be her little wife if he could save her brother.

Bai Qing's cheeks flushed instantly, and she lowered her head.

I never expected Lord Night Song to still remember...

"Also, don't feel regretful that you weren't able to absorb any divine souls this time."

Ye Ge touched his nose: "Anyway, there's more than just the Water Spirit Priest at the eleventh level."

Both Li Shuying and Bai Qing were taken aback.

"what??"

"nothing."

"Alright, you can go back now," Yege said. "You've just received the cursed seal, so you might not be used to this power yet. You'll need to get used to it when you get back."

The two women bowed slightly: "Yes..."

After saying goodbye to Li Shuying and Bai Qing, Ye Ge returned to her room.

The room was quiet, and Xia Xiyao was still sleeping peacefully on the bed.

Gao Shenxue sat by the bed, taking care of Xia Xiyao.

"They've all left?" Gao Shenxue looked up at Ye Ge and asked.

"Hmm." Ye Ge walked over: "How is Yao Yao?"

"It seems everything is alright now. Her panel attributes are all normal, and her life and energy are slowly recovering," Gao Shenxue said. "It seems that completely releasing the Chaos Undead will put some strain on Yao Yao's body. Fortunately, Yao Yao has already broken through to the Soul Emperor Realm, so this strain is not irreversible."

"That's good." Ye Ge breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xiao Ye..." At this moment, the cool and aloof girl suddenly pounced on him, resting her head on Ye Ge's shoulder and wrapping her arms around his neck and back.

Ye Ge paused for a moment, feeling the girl hugging him tightly, one hand gripping his back as if trying to stuff him into her body.

"What's wrong?" Ye Ge smiled and patted her head.

"You really scared me this time." Gao Shenxue buried her face in his shoulder and said in a muffled voice, "I couldn't find you anywhere, and the system couldn't contact you either. I almost thought something had really happened to you."

Ye Ge felt a pang of apology: "I'm sorry, I made you worry."

"Don't do this next time."

"Okay, I won't do it again next time."

"But it's true that you've worried me this time."

"......That?"

“A child who makes his mother worry is not a good child.” Gao Shenxue suddenly released Ye Ge, placed her hands on his chest, and pushed him hard, knocking him to the floor.

Ye Ge lay on his back on the ground, with Gao Shenxue standing in front of him, her eyes clear and calm, looking down at him. Her cold voice rang out: "So I'm going to punish you severely."

Night Song: "...Yao Yao is still sleeping."

Gao Shenxue: "It's alright, I've calculated it, she won't wake up until at least tomorrow."

Night Song: "..."

......

As night falls, everything becomes silent.

The Royal Palace, the Great Hall of the Clergy.

Ji Lian sat upright in the center of the hall, dressed in a magnificent and solemn crimson divine robe. Her eyes were slightly closed as she listened attentively to the whispers of the gods from the heavens above.

A faint, ethereal melody lingered in her ears.

A rustling, indescribable whisper and murmur echoed in my consciousness.

The once silent pool inside the hall suddenly began to move without any wind, its surface rippling with light.

At the same time, layers of ripple-like divine power emanated from Ji Lian's body, gentle yet sacred. Under the hazy glow, her figure exuded an awe-inspiring sense of holiness.

Behind the main hall, the dozen or so towering statues of deities, their stone eyes seemingly illuminated by divine light at this moment, exuded majesty and silently watched over the people in the hall.

"finally......"

Ji Lian slowly opened her eyes. A completely different, more profound and restrained aura emanated from her.

His eyes shone with light, and his aura became increasingly ethereal and noble, as if he had been reborn.

Finally a breakthrough.

She successfully advanced from being the only eighth-level divine mage among humans to a ninth-level divine mage!

A level nine divine mage is considered to have officially entered the ranks of high-ranking priests. In terms of extraordinary level, they can be compared to extraordinary beings in the Apocalypse Realm. However, due to the natural advantages of the divine mage profession, in a battle of the same level, a level nine divine mage can easily suppress an extraordinary being in the Apocalypse Realm, and even has the power to fight against a Saint Realm expert.

Just as he was immersed in the insights gained after the breakthrough, a solemn voice pierced the silence of the hall: "Human Priest Ji Lian."

Two elderly priests with profound presences walked in from outside the hall, their expressions solemn.

Both of these old priests were level ten priests, one level higher than her; one was a priest from the sea tribe, and the other was a priest from the western dragon tribe.

Upon seeing the two, Ji Lian rose and bowed respectfully, saying, "Two seniors."

"You have successfully advanced to the ninth level of divine mage, which means that your piety and cultivation have been recognized by the gods. Congratulations!"

"Yes, thank you, senior."

"You broke through your cultivation here tonight, do you know what changes have just occurred in the city?"

"This junior has been in seclusion here and is unaware of it."

"The ancient ferocious beast Chaos has appeared in the city. That monstrous creature destroyed the Temple of the Myriad Races and the temporary headquarters of the Alliance of Light, which were built in the city."

Ji Lian was slightly taken aback, revealing a surprised expression.
