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

Chapter 1172 Returning to the Demon Realm

"Oh? A gene company???"

The Pope raised an eyebrow: "You mean, it wasn't that human female scientist from the Ye family who blew up Ming City, but a gene company?"

“That’s right, we heard it with our own ears by sheer coincidence,” the old man said.

"What else did you hear?"

"Uh......"

The middle-aged man frowned, trying to recall, and after a moment said, "We also seem to have heard that they are secretly developing a... extremely special weapon. It is said to be powered by some kind of supernatural device from an ancient relic... They call that power... 'The Power of Heaven'!"

The Pope's expression changed instantly: "What did you say???"

She stared at the two people below her, enunciating each word clearly: "Are you sure you didn't hear me wrong??"

She hadn't taken it seriously at first. She was still somewhat skeptical about the information the old man and the middle-aged man brought back.

However, the term "power of the Heavenly Way" could not have been made up casually.

"Confirmed!" The old man and the middle-aged man nodded repeatedly with obvious certainty.

"Uh... but they probably haven't fully mastered or controlled this power yet. They're still in the experimental stage. The Underworld City was one of their experimental sites. They originally wanted to use the power of the Heavenly Dao to capture Chaos, but they accidentally blew up the entire Underworld City..."

"..."

The Pope remained silent for a long time before softly saying, "That's natural. It comes from the forbidden power of the beginning of chaos. How could they possibly control it so easily through technology?"

"You mean..." the middle-aged man hesitated, "that power of the Heavenly Dao... is the forbidden power that our Lord ordered us to investigate?"

"..."

The Pope did not answer the question.

She simply stood up abruptly, her papal robes, as black as eternal night, drawing a sharp arc in the air, and resolutely turned her back, leaving everyone with only a back view exuding endless majesty and coldness.

A gene company, huh...?

I never imagined that an organization in the mortal realm would have such ambitions, daring to covet the power of the Heavenly Dao.

Hmph... What grand ambitions! What audacity!

......

The Demon Realm, Snow Song City.

Ye Ge led Gao Shenxue and her group out of the interdimensional gate and onto the land of the Demon Realm.

"Lord Demon Lord!"

"Demon Lord, you're back?"

"Demon Lord, it's been so long since you've come back to play with us!"

A series of clear, bell-like cheers instantly enveloped Night Song. A group of little demon girls, who looked no more than seven or eight years old, innocently gathered around him.

A pair of large, purple or red eyes blinked, filled with undisguised admiration, respect, and pure joy.

Ye Ge smiled gently and habitually patted one of the little girls' heads: "Xiao An, you haven't failed any exams lately, have you?"

The little girl from the demon realm quickly replied, "Of course not! Look at my report card if you don't believe me!"

"..."

Gao Shenxue, Xia Xiyao, Ye Bing, Bai Xueling, and Nangong Qiuyue followed at a distance.

This is Nangong Qiuyue's first time in the Demon Realm.

She was completely stunned and speechless. Her eyes widened as she looked around at the enormous city, built under strange light, with its unique style yet magnificent grandeur.

Towering spires shimmered with an eerie purple light, strange magical plants climbed the rugged buildings, and various demonic inhabitants walked the streets, the air thick with a rich yet gentle magical aura...

"I never imagined there was such a large city in this area..."

Nangong Qiuyue felt like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden, overwhelmed and amazed by everything. She turned to Gao Shenxue, Xia Xiyao, and Bai Xueling, who all looked calm and collected: "You've been here before??"

“Yes.” Xia Xiyao nodded: “This is Gexue City, the first city in the Demon Realm.”

Upon hearing the city's name, Nangong Qiuyue knew it must have been named after Ye Ge and Gao Shenxue...

'Snowy City...'

On the surface, Ye Bing maintained the composure and calmness of a fallen angel queen, but inside, a storm was raging.

Having seen Night Song's demon army before, I had already guessed that Night Song must have many intricate connections with the ancient demon race.

But unexpectedly, Night Song actually occupied such a small world! And even built such a huge city here!

And these demons actually call him the Demon Lord?

Although she had been brought to the Demon Realm by Night Song to heal her wounds, she had been confined to the small house under the Demon Realm Tree at that time.

Through the hole in the roof, she could only see those enormous, warm roots that supplied her with life energy. After that healing, she was sent away by Nightsong. She never had the chance to see the true face of the Demon Tree, nor did she ever see the Demon City that belonged to Nightsong.

Ye Bing slightly raised her head and looked into the distance.

This time, she finally witnessed it with her own eyes—the Demon Tree that rose from the distant horizon, so enormous that words could not describe it, its canopy plunging directly into the chaotic clouds! Even from dozens of miles away, its majestic and magnificent form was still clearly visible, exuding an ancient and powerful life force that inspired awe!

Looking at Ye Ge, who was surrounded by a group of innocent and cheerful little demon girls with a gentle smile, Nangong Qiuyue couldn't help but purse her lips: "You really are popular with girls wherever you go..."

Ye Ge shrugged: "Well, there's nothing I can do about it. I'm just so approachable."

Nangong Qiuyue: "......"

Just then, a tall, slender figure in red parted the crowd and walked gracefully towards them. It was Hong Kou.

When Nangong Qiuyue saw Hongkou, she was slightly taken aback. She thought to herself, "These demons not only look very similar to humans, but I never expected there to be such a beautiful, mature, and elegant woman among them..."

“Father, you’re back.” Hongkou bowed slightly respectfully.

"???"

Nangong Qiuyue looked at Ye Ge with a face full of surprise: "Wow, you play this kind of perverted game?!"

It's no wonder she had the wrong idea. Hongkou looked mature and beautiful, and was definitely older than Yege. She didn't look like his daughter at all!

Ye Ge tapped her on the head: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Ye Bing then felt some discomfort in her right eye.

She raised her hand to cover her right eye and subtly bit her lip.

At that moment, the thick shadow beneath their feet behind them shifted eerily.

Something indescribable, seemingly composed entirely of a deeper darkness, like a slippery squid, silently detached itself from their shadows, instantly disappearing into the shadows of the nearby buildings, vanishing without a trace...

Ye Ge turned to look at Ye Bing: "What's wrong? Is your right eye still uncomfortable?"

"Just a little bit," Ye Bing said.

"Your Yin Eyes must have evolved too, right?" Ye Ge asked.

Ye Bing: "Hmm..."

Ye Ge immediately looked at Hong Kou: "Hong Kou, take her to the cabin."

“Yes,” Hongkou replied.
