Chapter 237: Bloodline Reward, Dragon Country’s Envy, Is Yun Zhenyue Becoming a Supernatural Being?
A short while later, Yun Zhenyue and Gu Yuan returned to Wansheng District.
When they left, the children were reluctant to see them go.
Some were even wiping away tears.
It was Yun Zhenyue who had to persuade them.
She told them that Gu Yuan would definitely come back to visit often, and only then did the children watch the two leave.
Just as she walked into the living room, Yun Zhenyue tiredly flopped onto the sofa and immediately heard a system notification.
[Ding! Your mission is complete!]
[Detected that you have obtained Master-level Etiquette, perfectly completing the marriage matching mission!]
[Congratulations on receiving your reward: Bloodline Selection!]
[This reward can be used by yourself or gifted to your partner.]
’Master-level Etiquette!’
’When did that happen?’
Yun Zhenyue was a little dazed. She didn’t even remember having this skill. She opened her system panel to take a look and found that Master-level Etiquette had been added to her skill list.
’It seems Loli was a good teacher after all.’
After all, Loli had always been a shut-in, so she’d had plenty of time to cultivate her etiquette. She was indeed the most well-mannered person Yun Zhenyue had ever met.
’But the reward is a bloodline?’
Yun Zhenyue’s eyes widened.
[1: Blood Race Bloodline. Upon selection, you will gain the basic ability to control blood, an extremely long lifespan. Weaker members of the Blood Race are sensitive to light, while powerful ones possess abilities like blood wings and the Blood Bat Skill.]
[2: Corpse-Eating Ghost Bloodline. Upon selection, you will gain the basic ability to devour corpses. Weaker Corpse-Eating Ghosts will be unable to consume other food. As long as you have the corpses of powerful anomalies, you can rapidly increase your strength in a short time.]
[3: Succubus Bloodline. Upon selection, you will gain the basic ability to charm others, perceive people’s hearts, and manipulate dreams. A Succubus must consume vital essence daily.]
[4: Zombie Bloodline. Upon selection, you will gain the basic ability to spread corpse poison. Resentment from dying with eyes open gathers in the throat, granting immense strength and making you impervious to blades and bullets.]
...
[7: Body Reinforcement. Forgo all other bloodlines. Upon selection, your original bloodline will be enhanced.]
Yun Zhenyue’s eyes glazed over as she looked at the first six bloodlines.
Her heart was pounding erratically!
For a 20...
Pfft!
21-year-old!
A little girl who’s just turned 252 months old!
These bloodlines held a fatal attraction for her.
Who hadn’t fantasized as a child about having a special bloodline, where even a small display of power would leave friends and classmates gasping in amazement?
Besides, these were all very powerful bloodlines!
The potential was immense!
Just look at the first one, the Blood Race bloodline. It alone would grant her an immortal lifespan!
’If I choose one, I could help Gu Yuan, right?’
"This is so hard to choose."
Yun Zhenyue lightly tapped her thin lips, her eyes filled with hesitation.
...
The Dragon Country’s viewers were also staring wide-eyed at the scene.
[Is Yun Zhenyue finally going to stop being human?]
[Give one to me, I want to be a Succubus!]
[Bro, you—oh, you’re from Rong City. Never mind then.]
[Aside from the Corpse-Eating Ghost, any of the others would be a fine choice. But is she really going to become an anomaly? That’s kinda weird.]
[No way, does this mean Yun Zhenyue won’t be coming back? She’s going to spend the rest of her life with Gu Yuan in the Ghost World?]
[That’s up to her, isn’t it? If she becomes an anomaly, how can she come back?]
...
At this moment, Yun Zhenyue didn’t know which one to choose.
’The Blood Race is pretty cool.’
’A Succubus?’
’Yikes!’
’That’s a bit much, isn’t it?’
’Wouldn’t I have to be all cuddly with Gu Yuan every day?’
Just then, Gu Yuan sat down beside her with Lily.
Yun Zhenyue decided to ask for his opinion.
"Honey, my mission this time gave me a few bloodline rewards. Which one do you think is best?"
"Or is there a bloodline you want?"
Gu Yuan paused for a moment upon hearing this.
Especially after hearing the bloodlines Yun Zhenyue mentioned.
His expression was a little strange.
For a human, any of these bloodlines would indeed be an astronomical stroke of fortune.
But to Gu Yuan, honestly, none of these bloodlines were worth a second glance.
They all had side effects.
One required drinking blood, another required consuming vital essence.
’Such a pain.’
"I think..."
Gu Yuan began to speak slowly.
Yun Zhenyue listened intently.
"You should choose the seventh one, Body Reinforcement."
Yun Zhenyue was caught off guard.
But Gu Yuan looked at her and explained, "These bloodlines are all too inferior. If you really want one, I have better ones."
"For example, if you’re interested in the Blood Race, I can give you the Progenitor Bloodline. This kind doesn’t require drinking blood, and possessing it would instantly turn you into an Evil Star."
"There’s also the Succubus Queen Bloodline, which doesn’t require a daily intake of vital essence, the Incorruptible Bone Bloodline, and so on..."
"In short, they’re all better than the ones you were offered."
’Ah...’
Yun Zhenyue was a little dejected.
She thought these bloodline rewards were great.
’So they’re not even good enough for Gu Yuan to look at, huh?’
Seeing her reaction, Gu Yuan patted Yun Zhenyue’s head.
"But I’m just giving you a suggestion. Ultimately, the choice depends on what you want."
"But... are you sure you want to become an anomaly?"
"Once you choose, it means a complete break from your former life. For example, the Blood Race is nocturnal. You’d feel uncomfortable in the sun, and lethargy is also in their nature."
Hearing these words, Yun Zhenyue fell into thought.
’A complete break from my former life?’
That didn’t matter to her.
But the nocturnal part...
’Doesn’t that mean my lifestyle would be the complete opposite of Gu Yuan’s?’
That was unacceptable to Yun Zhenyue.
Besides, if she became an anomaly, could she ever return to the real world?
After thinking it over and over, in the end, Yun Zhenyue decided to give up on these bloodlines.
She was already very satisfied with her current life.
Thinking of this, she directly chose the seventh reward: Body Reinforcement!
’I’ll stick with my human bloodline!’
BUZZ!
In that instant!
A flash of white light shot past her eyes.
"Ngh~"
Yun Zhenyue suddenly felt her body growing hot. Her blood seemed to be circulating at high speed, and a strange power surged out from every limb and bone. Sweat beaded on her temples, and her back became damp.
At that moment!
The live stream closed.
Her face flushed red as she immediately ran toward the bathroom.
After taking a cold shower, Yun Zhenyue finally let out a sigh of relief and walked into the living room.
She blinked.
Gu Yuan’s gaze fell upon her.
"How is it? Any changes?"
"Some, but not much."
Yun Zhenyue could feel that she had gotten much stronger.
As for how much stronger, there was no point of reference.
Also, her skin had become much fairer.
Her pores were more refined.
All in all, she had become prettier!
"Grab my hand, then use some force."
Gu Yuan stared at Yun Zhenyue’s face for a long time, only speaking softly when her neck began to turn a faint red.
"Will I hurt you?" Yun Zhenyue hesitated.
"What do you think?"
"..."
Yun Zhenyue lightly bit her lip.
’I seem to have asked a stupid question!’
She took Gu Yuan’s hand, their fingers interlaced, and then she pushed with all her might!
But she still couldn’t make Gu Yuan move even half a step.
"Hmm, your strength now is about the same as the Crimson-robed Ghost’s?"
"Congratulations, you’ve become a Humanoid Anomaly."
Gu Yuan said as he let go of her hand.
"Only the Crimson-robed Ghost..."
Yun Zhenyue sighed.
In the past, she would have been ecstatic.
But to Gu Yuan, the Crimson-robed Ghost was probably no different from a little baby.
’I really can’t be of much help.’
"Don’t be discouraged. Aren’t you going to check on your flower?"
Hearing Gu Yuan’s words, Yun Zhenyue pushed the distracting thoughts from her mind and walked toward the balcony.
The next second!
Her pupils dilated slightly.
She saw that the Flower of Love had actually forked?
’Two flower buds?’
’There was clearly only one last time.’
But now, another one had grown!
’Does that mean I can make two wishes now?’
Heh heh heh!
’Now Gu Yuan won’t be able to hide his little secrets!’
