Chapter 124: Vampire’s Blood

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Inside the hidden laboratory, Yang Luqi shook her head.

“I had my suspicions too, but the environment I was living in was the Dragon Scale City of the Great Qian Dynasty. In terms of security and defense, it was second only to the imperial capital, Dragon Emperor City.”

“Besides, although our family’s interpersonal relationship was simple, my parents were not weak. They both had pet beasts in the ultimate form. If an attack were to happen, it would be impossible for them to not react at all.”

“Also, I’m sure they did not die. My husband and I once practiced a secret technique called ‘Fate Lock’. If he died, I would definitely be able to sense it, but he didn’t. Even now, I can vaguely sense that he’s still alive and has a weak life force. It’s just that I don’t know where he is, so I don’t have any way to judge.”

Yang Luqi was dazed for a moment before she focused her attention on the metal ball. Her voice was cold as she said, “I spent a few years investigating the case, looking for witnesses and clues. I even spent a lot of money to find the astrologer beast for divination... Unfortunately, I didn’t find anything. It was as if the four of them had completely vanished.”

Bai Wushang asked again, “Such a strange thing happened in the city. Did the official forces of the Great Qian Dynasty not participate in the search?”

“Of course, they participated in the search,” Yang Luqi nodded and sighed, “However, there are too many strange and indescribable things in the Transcendent Realm. The disappearance of a few human Masters is nothing to a dynasty. I can’t count on them.”

“... Later on, I was really unwilling to give up. I searched through my house repeatedly, testing everything that might be suspicious one by one. Thus, I began my research path...”

Bai Wushang secretly clicked his tongue. This foster mother of his was far more tenacious than he had imagined.

Anyone who was willing to spend a lot of time doing something very boring, or even completely meaningless, required a lot of courage and perseverance.

At the same time, it also meant that Aunt Lu’s attachment to her family was beyond imagination.

“... I spent a whole three years, and in the end, I found this metal ball.”

“This thing is a collection of my father’s. He has a hobby of collecting antiques. Ha... the exact source is no longer known. Anyway, this ball was placed in my home during my childhood.”

“This is the only item that didn’t cause any damage even after I tested it countless times. I became suspicious and went to look for a famous appraiser, but the result was that it was only a relatively hard and rare metal, ‘Black Steel’. Other than being slightly older and having better carving techniques, there wasn’t anything else special about it.”

“I have nowhere else to go, so I won’t give up even if it’s just a small possibility.”

Yang Luqi was expressionless as though she was talking about a trivial matter. She continued, “If no one helps me, then I will research on my own. I will flip through ancient books, buy equipment, learn technology... In short, as long as I am still alive, I will search for the results even if I have to go bankrupt and sacrifice everything.”

“I spent ten years using tens of thousands of testing methods on this small ball, such as fire, boiling, lightning strike, corrosion, and so on. The facts proved that my train of thought was correct. No matter how I tested this thing, there was no reaction. That was the biggest problem!”

“Until one day, that was the 64,815th test. There was finally a change.”

Bai Wushang held his breath and concentrated, listening attentively.

Combined with all the intelligence, there was probably some connection between this and him.

As expected, Yang Luqi said, “... the test method was blood immersion. There were hundreds of samples involved, and one of them had a reaction.”

“... After I checked, I confirmed that the sample came from the Bloodlings, which is the blood of the so-called ‘Vampires’.”

Bai Wushang’s eyes widened, and there was no way to hide his surprise.

“Let me show you.”

Yang Luqi took out a tube of bright red blood from her storage ring.

Carefully, she opened the sealing array around the glass cover and poured it on the hollow metal ball.

Silently.

The metal ball that was soaked in blood lit up with a faint fluorescent light.

Then, a mysterious pattern flashed across about half of the area.

“Do you see it? I’ve tested it countless times, and only vampire blood can trigger its changes!”

“This pattern... what is it?”

Bai Wushang didn’t see it clearly at all.

Unexpectedly, Yang Luqi shook her head, “I don’t know either. I suspect that it’s some kind of ancient alien totem or language. For this reason, I’ve been deeply cultivating in this field for many years. But until now, I still can’t analyze the meaning of the existence of this pattern.”

“The only thing I can be sure of is that different Bloodling samples will activate more patterns in the small ball.”

“Especially, the stronger and older the Bloodling, the better the effect.”

“This is also the reason why I took your blood when I adopted you! Because you were bitten by the Bloodling Princess from ancient times and luckily, you didn’t die. Although the blood poison in your body has been sealed, it has already changed your physique. The fact that you are not afraid of any poison is the best proof!”

Yang Luqi pursed her lips and continued, “Back then, I used all kinds of channels to collect Bloodling blood samples. I spent twenty years, but I’ve only activated about 10% of it.”

“Ever since I received your blood sample, the metal ball was activated to 40%. It can be said to be a breakthrough.”

“So that’s the case. Is this the reason why I was adopted...”

Bai Wushang suddenly understood. The change in his mood was very subtle.

“Wushang, I admit that I have selfish motives.” Yang Luqi lowered her eyes. “But you should have felt it all these years. I didn’t mean to hurt you. On the contrary, when I see you, I will think of my poor child. Sigh...”

“Aunt Lu, I don’t blame you, and I don’t have the right to blame you,” Bai Wushang said this from the bottom of his heart.

From a certain point of view, he and Yang Luqi’s experiences were very similar. They had both lost everything, and they were both trying their best.

Thinking of this, Bai Wushang smiled and said, “Aunt Lu, I’ll help you collect Vampire blood samples in the future... I don’t have a good impression of them at all...”

Yang Luqi was slightly stunned, and she couldn’t help but laugh, “I’ve survived for so many years, and I’m already used to it. As for you... You’re still young. Think of a way to survive first.”

“Also... Wushang, I called you to this academy to give you some peace of mind and relieve some of the pressure. In the end, well... your lifespan has actually shortened. I don’t know whether it’s your bad luck or my bad luck...”

“Why do you say that?” Bai Wushang’s eyes lit up, and his curiosity was bursting.

Yang Luqi smiled faintly and replied, “I’ve been studying vampires since before I adopted you. This sinister blood poison is naturally a part of it. Most importantly, I’ve made some breakthrough progress recently...”
