"Lias, look! I can’t believe our dear brother has such a hobby."
Teacher Luo Li gave a sly smile, a little surprised. "You two really have a good relationship."
Lias mumbled, utterly embarrassed.
At this moment, the teacher, whose delicate face was identical to Lias’s, rested her chin on her jade-like hand, observing with great interest.
Suddenly, she paused slightly, examining closely.
The next moment, her beautiful eyes widened.
"Lias, pay attention. What your brother is feeding you is a Magic Potion."
Lias was taken aback, suspecting her teacher was teasing her. Magic Potions were rare and precious; there was no way they’d be administered . Couldn’t he have waited until she woke up?
"This Magic Potion won’t show immediate effects, but it will definitely be suitable for the Bloodline Domain."
Teacher Luo Li composed herself, looked at the dazed blonde loli, and said seriously, "There are various types of Magic Potions, and this happens to be a bloodline Magic Potion suitable for you. It’s no less excellent than my own Magic Potion, possibly even more outstanding."
"Wha-what? Teacher, did you see incorrectly? That’s just a glass of milk... right?"
Lias’s pupils trembled. She didn’t understand what was wrong with her teacher. How could Chu Yi have a Magic Potion, and why would he feed it to her by kissing her?
Teacher Luo Li narrowed her eyes, a slight smile playing on her lips. "Your brother is a remarkably gifted Alchemist."
Lias’s pupils constricted, a metaphorical earthquake shaking them. She stared blankly as Chu Yi fed her the potion, mouthful by mouthful, feeling as if her brain was about to short-circuit.
Is he the mysterious, unknown Alchemist Teacher Luo Li often mentioned?
Alchemists are an extremely rare group. Each one is a powerhouse, extracting materials and refining Magic Potions that defy common sense—creations hailed as miracles!
All impossibilities become possible under the miraculous hands of an Alchemist.
And Chu Yi is one of them.
Such individuals are either revered as honored guests by major powers or hunted by gods if they touch upon the Forbidden Domain. In short, every Alchemist possessing such miraculous hands is a genius who pursues thrilling experiences.
When it comes to courting death, they go all out.
"Thinking about it this way, everything makes sense."
Teacher Luo Li hopped up, her perky bottom landing on a chair made of bone. Her fair, lotus-root-like, rosy calves swung back and forth.
"From a low-ranking Red Fox, undergoing a Mutated Evolution into a three-tailed Mo Xie, and then into a King’s Cub—that’s truly a miracle."
"His talent in the domain of Magic Potions is even more terrifying than I imagined."
"And the most crucial part is that, as a mere youth, he managed to keep this secret hidden for so many years!"
As she spoke, she turned her head and smiled at the dazed Lias. "Lias, you’ve found a treasure."
Chu Yi is a treasure?
Even Teacher Luo Li is full of praise for him?
Lias felt a wave of disorientation. Being an Alchemist... is that the secret to Chu Yi’s strength?
And now, Chu Yi was personally feeding her a Magic Potion... Was he hoping to enhance her strength so she could protect herself?
The reason he hadn’t woken her up was to secretly help her increase her power...
At this thought, Lias’s jade-like cheeks flushed slightly. All her previous annoyance and dissatisfaction vanished, leaving only affection for Chu Yi.
When we get back, if Chu Yi wants another ’gift,’ then... I’ll pretend to disagree at first, and then reluctantly agree, bestowing it upon him with a tsundere air.
"By the way, Lias, you two must participate in the Divine War this time."
Teacher Luo Li fell silent for a moment, a hint of nostalgia in her eyes, and said, "Your father is a wanted man. To resolve this completely, a new Blood Covenant must be signed, allowing you to become a high noble. The Divine War is the perfect opportunity for a reshuffle."
Lias snapped back to her senses, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Teacher, will it be dangerous? Chu Yi and I alone might not be able to handle it."
The Divine War. For every race in this Dark World, it was a familiar topic.
Lias had learned from the library in the basement that Divine Wars started at irregular intervals and varied in scale. Sometimes they lasted a day or two, other times for years, even decades. Their purpose was to appease the gods with blood in exchange for blessings.
"Lias... first, you must recognize who you are. You are of the Blood Race. *This* is where your true power comes from."
Teacher Luo Li said calmly, her expression serene, "If you rely solely on Beast Taming, can you keep pace with Chu Yi?"
Lias was stunned, not knowing what to say.
In the domain of Beast Taming, she was only a Silver Beast Tamer. Meanwhile, Chu Yi could already slay a Marquis-level combatant at the Dawn Star tier! Moreover, her race limited her future achievements in the Beast Taming domain; she wouldn’t go far. This also related to how Beast Tamers advanced to Dawn Star: by invading minor worlds and selecting a power system from those worlds to integrate into their Beast Taming abilities as a secondary profession. The same was true for Alien Races. Beast Taming was just a secondary profession; her Blood Race title was her true path!
"An Alchemist as exceptional as Chu Yi will attract girls even more outstanding than you, throwing themselves at him. Will you be able to keep him then?" Teacher Luo Li casually asked.
Lias remained silent. She thought of Chen Xi, the Princess of the Enchanting Demon Royal Court—so lofty and noble, yet she coveted Chu Yi. Even her woman’s intuition told her that this Succubus Princess genuinely liked Chu Yi and wanted to possess him entirely. The trope of the "childhood friend getting NTR’d by the newcomer" flashed through her mind. If she didn’t hurry up and become stronger, she’d really be cuckolded, left to curl up in a corner, shedding the tears of a wronged partner. Even worse, the other woman might send her videos of herself in ’negative distance contact’ with Chu Yi, completely crushing her. She’d be left clutching photos of her and Chu Yi together, consumed by helpless rage, her sorrow flowing like a river in reverse.
"Yes, I understand, Teacher."
Lias bit her lip and clenched her fists, her fighting spirit surging.
She didn’t want to be cuckolded. She wanted Chu Yi all to herself, allowing no one else near him. Her number one enemy was that Chen Xi!
Teacher Luo Li nodded, her plan accomplished and her spirits high. She discussed the details of the Divine War with Lias for a while before her form dispersed.
The Lily Flowers covering the mountains slowly retracted as well.
In a dense forest, a group of figures flitted swiftly through the darkness of night, their forms like writhing shadows, vanishing in a flash.
"The target is near Dove Manor! Prepare to ambush!"
The Vampires bared their fangs, bat-like wings unfurling as they accelerated to an extreme speed, appearing like phantoms.
Among the Alien Races, the Blood Race was renowned for its silence. Every member of the Blood Race was a natural-born assassin and killer. Darkness was their protective cloak; blood drove them into a frenzied, bloodthirsty state, causing their combat power to soar, and their very bloodline endowed them with an inherent nobility.
At that moment, an elderly man with long, silver-gray hair stood perched atop the tip of a tall tree, his scarlet eyes gazing at the vehicles moving in the distance.
Human vehicles were no match for the speed of the Blood Race. According to the latest intelligence, Janet’s Castle had been razed to the ground, and most of the family members were dead.
