Recruit Chu Yi to become a member of the Morgan family?
William was taken aback. It was indeed a solution; the Morgan family had always welcomed exceptional talents. As long as the familiar ceremony was conducted, he could be turned into "family." This was also a method vampires used to strengthen their families, only it was more advanced for ancient families.
Having killed Albert, Chu Yi stood quietly. A Demon Halberd fell to the ground, shattering the roots and stems of vines within tens of meters around. The ground suddenly sank, bright electric currents flashed, leaving behind the blood residue after Albert was blasted apart.
He remained motionless. A whirling hurricane spiraled around him. Scarlet Curse Seals on his skin twisted and writhed like blood-red ribbons before transforming into numerous blood-colored Blood Serpents, further accentuating the young king’s awe-inspiring, domineering aura.
The pressure on the Alien Races suddenly increased, as if facing a formidable enemy.
Their expressions were grave, a trace of dread deep in their eyes. They hadn’t expected the one who had concealed his abilities the deepest to be a young human who had personally slain the Son of Gold.
Speaking of which, Albert had no strength to resist at all; he was forcibly killed before he could even unleash the splendor of his Sequence Weapon, the Blood God Blade. It was truly infuriating.
"Alright, the annoying fellow is finally gone. Everyone, let’s talk."
A slight smile appeared on Chu Yi’s handsome face. Coupled with the writhing, golden electric Blood Serpents and the fierce Demon Halberd in his hand, he seemed more like a nefarious archvillain.
The Alien Races were stunned. This young man killed Albert and thinks he can take his place, discussing things so amiably with everyone?
Andre’s eyes flickered. Could it be that he has exhausted his power and is trying to appear conciliatory to buy time? Come to think of it, given Albert’s stature as the Son of Gold from the Wolf Race Holy Land, Chu Yi couldn’t possibly maintain his peak state after killing him. That Demon Halberd must also be a Sequence Weapon—powerful, yet cursed. With curses entangling him, he must be in a weakened state. In other words, Chu Yi is strong in appearance but weak in reality, using this opportunity to recover his strength. Should I risk trying to kill him? Andre pondered. As a cautious individual, I should observe the situation first. What if this young man is just pretending?
"Alright, Brother Chu Yi, I see you have quite a talent. If you help me win this game, our Bell Tower Association can offer you three bottles of Giant Potion."
Long Bo, who had been inconspicuous until now, stepped forward first and said, "Don’t you know the importance of the Giant Potion? Just one drop can make a creature transform. Not only is it useful for you, but your Pet Beast can also use it to increase the chance of Mutated Evolution."
Meanwhile, he secretly gathered his energy and blood, intending to snatch it openly if Chu Yi showed signs of fatigue.
"The Giant Potion is a trap. If a bloodline aberration occurs, you’ll just become a mindless monster," German commented, extending an invitation to Chu Yi, "Chu Yi, the Healing Church welcomes you. We are the healers of the Healing World—noble and great—and we hold no racial prejudice. Comparatively, we should be more suitable for you."
"Oh, and not long ago, our Church discovered an Overlord Pet Beast cub. As a Beast Tamer, you would surely be interested, wouldn’t you?"
He dangled the information about the Radiant Moon-level Overlord Pet Beast cub as bait, offering an olive branch to Chu Yi. If Chu Yi joined, the Healing Church promised to cooperate and assist him in capturing this Overlord cub.
For a Beast Tamer, this temptation was immense, significantly increasing the chance of advancing to the Radiant Moon level and becoming a Master of the Small World.
An Overlord-level Pet Beast cub? Chu Yi was momentarily surprised. It sounded good, but he had Feast Items to enhance his Pet Beasts’ strength and didn’t particularly need it.
"Hee hee~ Little brother, I may not have many resources here, but if you join the Rose School, I’ll gift you a permanent supreme VIP status."
Hong Yu transformed back into a charming and beautiful woman, a captivating fragrance wafting from her as she said with a smile, "The Rose School has branches everywhere that you can access for free, for life. We regularly hold exclusive parties, and if you find yourself physically depleted, there’s a whole range of medicinal herbs for nourishment."
"Rest assured, the girls all conform to your human aesthetic standards and haven’t undergone any stitching surgeries."
The Furnace of Life was indeed significant, but Hong Yu was more interested in Chu Yi’s bloodline. Using the excuse of offering lifelong free access to extract his essence after each intimate encounter could yield massive research value, possibly leading to breakthroughs on some difficult problems.
What, free access for life? Chu Yi hesitated, somewhat tempted. But then he remembered that beneath Hong Yu’s beautiful facade lurked a writhing Sewn Monster, with countless tendrils squirming and innumerable eyeballs staring at him from under the covers. He decided against it.
A man, at the very least, should not...
Andre squinted. Indeed, the young man is weakened.
"The Undead Association’s reserve warehouse has Bone Dragons..."
Andre was about to speak, looking for an opportunity to get closer, when he saw a flicker of lightning in Chu Yi’s eyes. Gripping the Demon Halberd, Chu Yi charged swiftly, imbued with the force of a thunderclap.
"You were Albert’s close friend. I killed him, so you must harbor resentment and be plotting revenge against me."
Chu Yi seized the initiative. His halberd dragged out a blood-colored Blood Serpent as it cleaved through the Skeleton Monarch blocking his path. The Demon Halberd spun, tracing an astonishing arc of light and unleashing a terrifying demonic might as it slashed towards the horrified Andre.
"No, you’ve misunderstood."
The sneak attack landed at precisely this opportune moment.
Andre’s train of thought stuttered. He instinctively began to explain as a white, plush Ghost materialized, only for it to be instantly cleaved in two by the Demon Halberd. The weapon’s momentum, unchecked, continued its path, slicing towards him.
Even Albert couldn’t withstand the true damage of the Demon Halberd. Andre, suffering a backlash from his Beast Taming, hastily retreated. A splash of blood erupted as one of his hands was severed by the strike.
