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

Chapter 299: Reality Unseen

Ye Yulong was, after all, the strongest among the Ye family members. When he adopted such a tough stance, the other Ye family members looked at each other and remained silent.

Even if they don't usually respect Ye Yulong, it's not worth turning against each other over something like this.

Ye Mengyu said with a grin, "Brother Yulong, this is the first time I've ever seen you speak up for someone like this."

"I'm not speaking up for him." Ye Yulong glanced at her and sneered, "Capturing Bai Qing and persuading Bai Jian to surrender were all planned by Ye Ge. Of course, we have to wait for him to come and take responsibility. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, who will take the blame?"

Not long after, Ye Ge arrived.

Bai Jian saw Ye Ge and stared intently at him.

Ye Ge walked over, followed by Gao Shenxue, Li Shuying, Arthur, and others. Everyone around made way for her.

In terms of height, age, and ability, Ye Ge is the lowest in the hierarchy here, but anyone can see who is the center of attention here now.

"As per your terms, I have already left Baicheng with my men," Bai Jian said. "I hope you will keep your promise and release my sister."

“Okay,” Ye Ge said, “but as I said, we have to wait until after the war is over.”

Bai Jian paused for a moment, then said, "Well, I want to see her now. I have some questions for her."

Ye Ge nodded and agreed.

Anyway, this guy has already arrived at the Ye family camp, so Ye Ge isn't afraid that he'll turn on her.

Ye Ge led Bai Jian to the tent where Bai Qing was being held. When Bai Qing saw Bai Jian, she was immediately taken aback: "Brother?"

Bai Jian walked up to Bai Qing, scrutinized her carefully several times to confirm that she was indeed his sister, then breathed a sigh of relief and asked seriously, "They didn't give you any trouble, did they?"

"No, not at all..." Bai Qing said, still somewhat incredulous, "Brother, did you really betray Duke Wang En and leave Baicheng?"

"Betrayal... no, not really." Bai Jian paused for a moment, then said, "Wang En took the initiative to let me leave."

Bai Qing exclaimed in surprise: "Huh?"

Ye Ge raised an eyebrow upon hearing this: "Wang En let you leave on his own initiative?"

"Xiao Qing, I have a question for you." Bai Jian looked at Bai Qing and asked seriously, "Was it you who told me on the phone that Wang En sent assassins to kill you?"

"It's me."

"So, is this really true?"

"this......"

Bai Qing hesitated for a moment.

Bai Jian could tell from his sister's expression that she was lying, and frowned, saying, "You're lying to me?"

Ye Ge said softly from the side, "If he wasn't lying to you, how could you have made up your mind to leave Baicheng?"

Bai Jian put on a stern face.

Bai Qing said seriously, "Brother, Wang En is really no good. He only acts so gentle and kind in front of you. I have investigated many things about him in private, and he is definitely not the kind of person you imagine."

"I never expected you to lie to me about this." Bai Jian shook his head. "As one of the four dukes, it's normal for the lord to sometimes use despicable means to govern his territory, but he has never wronged us. If he were really as despicable as you say, why would he let me leave and not want to put me in a difficult position?"

“I don’t know why Wang En let you leave.” Bai Qing frowned. “But I think he definitely didn’t have good intentions.”

Bai Jian sighed, "You think too badly of the Duke. He's been raising us for over a hundred years, after all."

Bai Qing: "Brother..."

"Alright, stop talking." Ye Ge pouted. "It's obvious that your brother is not only love-struck, but also a die-hard fan. What you say now won't make a difference."

Bai Qing: "......"

"?" Bai Jian had never heard of this term before, but it sounded strange to him. "What?"

“When your mind is occupied only by the figures you idolize or admire in your fantasies,” Night Song shrugged, “you can’t see any reality.”

"..." Bai Jian's eyes darkened: "Stop talking nonsense, you don't understand the Duke at all."

"Alright, alright, I wasn't planning on trying to convince you." Ye Ge said, walking over and patting Bai Jian's arm, then carefully patting various parts of his body.

Duan Ye, standing nearby, asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"

"Do you really think Wang En would be so generous as to let you leave?" Ye Ge narrowed his eyes. "He must have left something on you."

Bai Jian shook his head, just about to say something.

At that moment, he suddenly sensed a faint tremor beneath the ground.

"Buzzing..."

Ye Ge also heard the sound and immediately stopped what she was doing.

Arthur looked around curiously and asked, "What was that sound?"

"It seems to be coming from underground..."

"earthquake?"

"..."

Ye Ge frowned, said nothing, and lay down, pressing her ear tightly to the ground.

"Buzzing..."

The vibrations were indeed coming from underground.

"Roar...~~~"

Besides the underground buzzing, a deep beastly roar also reached Yege's ears.

Is some kind of large creature digging underground?

'And this sound...'

'There's more than one?!'

Ye Ge's pupils contracted, as if he immediately understood something.

He immediately stood up and shouted at the people around him, "Everyone, leave the tents and disperse to the open ground!"

Everyone present was taken aback.

Bai Jian also vaguely sensed something at this moment, and his expression changed drastically: "This feeling is..."

Ye Yulong's eyes flashed: "Be careful, they're coming soon!"

"Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz—"

Within moments, the ground began to tremble more and more noticeably.

The ground beneath their feet began to shake.

The ground cracked rapidly in some areas, and some areas began to bulge.

finally......

"Oh!"

A strange beast, over twenty meters tall, burst forth from the ground, sending sand and dust flying everywhere!
