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

Chapter 1023 Provocation

Su You was now completely corrupted by the demonic sword, her entire body enveloped in dark power, and her deep purple pupils no longer held any trace of her own consciousness.

Ye Ge glanced at him and said calmly, "How do you feel, Gui Long?"

"It feels amazing." Su You, carrying the demon sword, grinned. "I've been absorbing so much of his essence and blood these past few days. This kid is a really good vessel. He has Qiongqi cells in his body, and his evil thoughts and resentments are very strong. He was completely demonized by me with just a little bit of manipulation. I really like him."

Night Song: "..."

"By the way, Lord Demon Lord, where is this place?" Su You looked around at the scorching forest.

"The Blazing Forest should be the place where the Vermilion Bird is sealed." Ye Ge looked at the towering pillar of flames in the distance of the forest: "I never expected it to be such a twist of fate."

"The sealed land of the Vermilion Bird..." Bai Xueling said, "This place should be like Thunder Rift Valley and Azure Dragon Palace, filled with traps, mechanisms, and arrays, right? Without a descendant of the Vermilion Bird clan to guide us this time, we..."

"It's alright, let's just take a look first." Ye Ge rubbed his nose. "Since we're already here..."

......

"Lord Qingxin, have you seen the reports about Lord Yege's affairs?"

A female attendant stood respectfully behind her.

Ye Qingxin was at the shooting range at that moment.

She stood tall and slender, holding a longbow about half her height in her hand. Her long, slender fingers lightly touched the bowstring, and her cold, clear eyes were fixed on the target a hundred meters away, as sharp as ice blades.

"call out--"

The sheepskin finger guards rubbed against the birchwood bow arm, producing a soft rustling sound, and the bowstring suddenly emitted a clear, melodious hum.

Three arrows pierced the stagnant air, and a muffled "thud" came from the distant bullseye.

Ye Qingxin had already lowered her arms. Three white feathers were stuck in the red heart of the arrow emplacement a hundred meters away, and the tail feathers were still trembling slightly.

"With such a huge commotion online, who wouldn't know?" Ye Qingxin said calmly.

"Kyoto is in complete chaos right now. This morning I even saw people from all races protesting. Now, it's easy for us humans to get beaten up whenever we go out."

"Hmph, a bunch of rabble."

"Now it's not just about the Dark Blood anymore; some people are saying that Lord Night Song is buying slaves from all races to conduct demonization experiments."

"Speaking of which, Lord Night Song has been captured by the Light Alliance. Could something have happened to him?"

Ye Qingxin nocked three arrows back onto the bowstring, about to say something.

At this moment, another female subordinate walked in from outside: "Lord Qingxin, someone outside is looking for you. They say they want to invite you to meet with their boss."

"Looking for me?" Ye Qingxin looked up: "Who?"

Female subordinate: "Uh... they're from a gene company."

Ye Yangqingxin: "A gene company?"

......

Half an hour later, Ye Qingxin arrived at the agreed location with several of her trusted subordinates.

At the entrance, two burly men in suits and sunglasses stood.

"Miss Ye Qingxin, is this?" The man in the suit opened the door. "Please come in. The boss has been waiting for you for a long time."

Ye Qingxin and her men were about to go inside when the burly man in the suit extended his arm and said, "Miss Ye Qingxin, the BOSS wants to discuss a very private matter with you. Please have your men wait outside."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingxin turned to her subordinates behind her and said, "You all wait outside."

"Lord Qingxin..." a subordinate said in a low voice, looking somewhat worried, "I'm worried they might have set a trap..."

"I know what I'm doing," Ye Qingxin said calmly as she walked inside.

Upon entering the private room, a young man dressed casually was sitting there drinking coffee.

Ye Qingxin carefully examined the man. She had heard Ye Ge mention that the behind-the-scenes boss of the gene company always appeared with a different look, so she tentatively asked, "Are you the BOSS of the gene company?"

The chairman put down his coffee cup: "It's me. I'm also the president of the Light Alliance."

He smiled and said, "Please have a seat, Miss Ye Qingxin."

Ye Qingxin sat down with her legs crossed, arms crossed, and said coldly, "What do you want from me?"

"Your gene company just framed our family's Ye Ge, and now you, the BOSS, are trying to meet with me. What kind of tactic is this?"

The chairman smiled and said, "Framed? Caught red-handed. The corpses on the ground were all from your Ye family. The factory was also discovered underground on your own land. The pile of dark blood at the scene was real. How can you say that we framed them?"

Ye Qingxin snorted coldly upon hearing this.

"What exactly do you want to say by inviting me here?"

"The impact of this incident is far more serious than you imagine. The emotions of all nations are running high right now." The chairman snapped his fingers, and a system panel popped up.

Ye Qingxin glanced over and saw various news reports from all races, investigation results from various law enforcement agencies, and statements from many governments of all races demanding severe punishment and a public trial for Ye Ge.

[Statement from the Celestial Clan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs: The Celestial Clan firmly condemns Nightsong's deliberate leak of demonic energy and dissemination of dark blood, and demands that the Alliance of Light publicly try Nightsong and provide an explanation to all races.]

[Statement from the Rat Spirit Clan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Ye Ge and his family have ulterior motives in this incident and are suspected of instigating the Eighth War of All Races. They must be dealt with strictly according to the laws of all races...]

[Statement from the Night Elf Ministry of Foreign Affairs: This incident is serious and has dire consequences. Night Song, the Night Family, and the human race behind them bear undeniable responsibility. The Night Elves declare that the Light Alliance should demand that the human imperial government cede territory and pay reparations...]

"..." Ye Qingxin remained silent.

"So," she glanced at the chairman again, "you still haven't said why you called me here today."

The chairman chuckled: "Miss Qingxin is really in a hurry. Alright, then I'll get straight to the point."

"I know the tradition of your Ye family of demonized mutants. From birth, the brothers and sisters of the same generation in the Ye family are each other's greatest rivals. You must engage in life-and-death competition with each other. Only the one who wins in the end can sit in the position of Ye family head, while the losers mostly do not have a good ending."

"And the victor of your generation is your youngest brother, Yege."
