Translator: Kingbao Editor: DarkGem

“You…” The entire robot trembled from Yuan Han’s rage.”Heh, I’ll definitely make you pay one day.”

“You won’t get that chance!” Gu Shucheng took a step forward while glancing over at Luo Ying. When he made sure she was fine, he spat, “Regardless of what you think, your actions today are way beyond our race’s bottom line. Both the bloodlings and the entire Galaxy will never let you off.”

“Hahahahahahha…” He burst into laughter, shaking the robot. “Did you really think that my motive today was to get back at you?”

“What do you mean?” Yao Si’s heart tightened. She was about to probe more, when suddenly, a gust of wind seemed to have passed her.

“Your Highness!” Luo Ying, who was previously still in Gu Shucheng’s embrace, collapsed toward her abruptly, pushing her to the side. At that instant, Yao Si saw a blue ray flash past as it brushed past Luo Ying’s arm.

She turned, realizing that Yuan Han had somehow appeared behind them with a glowing blue dagger and a maniacal grin on his face. He was no longer sitting in the robot, but instead, he was clothed in the same Zhuo Feng academy uniform he had on for the competition. t

Wasn’t he in the robot just now?! How was that possible, how could it have moved by itself?

There was a wound on Luo Ying’s arm, but she still turned and sent a lighting over. Yuan Han remained calm. With a wave of his hand, the black robot suddenly appeared in front of him to shield the attack.

“The so called strongest race isn’t much, after all. Remember this, there will be a day when I, Yuan Han, will wipe off your kind!” He glared at them with an immense hatred and unwavering confidence. At that moment, a massive hole appeared behind him. It looked like a space portal, and it sucked both him and the robot away.

Space traveling!

Yao Si started to panic. Instantly, she shouted, “Bai Yi, use your ability!”

“Ah?!” Bai Yi stilled.

“Hurry!”

“Oh!” Bai Yi hurriedly activated his ability.

Instantly, Master of Subtitles was summoned.

[Yuan Han wasn’t sure how long this arduous period would last, but he would definitely be able to persevere. The organization was right, the bloodlings were indeed a despicable bunch with disintegrated morals. This revolution was mandatory… self-awareness… Doomsday… Lightning… Euphoria…]

Before she could make out all the words, he had already disappeared into the space portal that had suddenly appeared behind him. However, the few words that she had been able to were enough to send a chill down her spine.

Euphoria! It was this organization again! She held onto Luo Ying who had pushed her aside.

“Luo Ying, are you okay?” she asked while holding onto her. There must be something wrong with that guy, doesn’t he know that we’re bloodlings? Why did he have to slash me before leaving? Just because I disqualified him?

He was f*cking weird!

“I’m fine!” Luo Ying smiled as she shook her head. “Don’t worry, it’s just a small cut. In less than two minutes, it will automa—” Before she could finish her sentence, she spat out a mouthful of blood, coughing uncontrollably.

“Luo Ying!”

Everyone was startled. Worry swiftly stained Gu Shucheng’s perpetually stoic face while he held her in his arms. “What happened? Why is it like this?”

“The injury!” Bai Yi said, eyes wide, while pointing at the slash on her arm in shock. “How did the injury…”

Yao Si turned and saw thtat the wound inflicted by Yuan Han’s strange dagger had not healed at all. It had turned blue by then and was spreading like a dye, staining half her arm blue.

“How did this happen… How did this happen?!” Gu Shucheng started to tremble as he tightened his grip on Luo Ying’s body. “Ying! Ying!”

There was no way she could respond, for she was conterminously spitting blood. Besides, the blue glow on her arm kept increasing, and she started to look worse with every passing second. It was as though her life was slowly seeping away.

“Your Highness…” Nephew Gu glanced up at her in anxiety.

“Lets go to the Elder Council!” Yao Si announced decisively as she pulled them along. The bloodling medical research centre was just beside the Elder Council, and it had the most advanced medical equipment and medical personnel, so they had to have a solution for Luo Ying’s situation.

“Yes! Elder Council!” Gu Shucheng agreed, after taking a moment to react. He bolted toward the Galactic Door while carrying Luo Ying.

–

“How is it?” Yao Si asked anxiously as she grabbed onto the Fourth Elder that had just left the ward.

“I’m sorry, Your Highness.” He shook his head. “There is an unknown illness within her body. I… This is the first time I’ve seen a virus that can suppress a bloodling’s healing ability.”

“What will happen… to Luo Ying?” Yao Si’s heart clenched.

Fourth Elder sighed. “I’m not sure, we can control the spread of the virus for now, but… we won’t be able to suppress it for long, and if we fail to hold it down, I’m afraid…”

He didn’t continue, but the message was delivered – Luo Ying was going to die!

“Your Highness, how did she contract this virus?” Fourth Elder asked anxiously. “The fact that such a virus exists poses a huge threat to our kind. I’ll have to inform the Elder Council and His Majesty. Can you tell me what happened?”

Yao Si nodded, explaining what had happened in detail.

“Thank you, Your Highness, I’ll go and pass on the message this instant.” The Fourth Elder nodded before rushing out the door toward the Elder Council.

Yao Si turned to glance at the three people in the ward, then tightened her hands into firsts before heading in.

Luo Ying had passed out and wasn’t able to wake up, with almost her entire body having turned blue. They had been here for about five hours now, and the Fourth Elder had tried every possible method, testing them all multiple times, but he couldn’t detect even what that virus was. There was no way to stop the color from spreading through her entire body.

Gu Shucheng had been at her side since the start, holding onto her hand all the while. He remained motionless, as if he’d fossilized. In just a short few hours, he was no longer the same person. His face was a frightening shade of white, his eye sockets sunken inwards. He seemed to be in a condition that was far worse than that of Luo Ying. Regardless of what they said to him, he remained the same soulless self.

“Your Highness!” Bai Yi’s eyes brightened when he saw Yao Si walking in, and even the fossilized Gu Shucheng seemed to have shook a little. They seemed to be anticipating some kind of answer from her. “What did the Fourth Elder say?”

Yao Si bit down on her lip, shaking her head gravely.

The flame in Bai Yi’s eyes extinguished entirely, and he suddenly seemed much younger and more vulnerable as his eyes turned red with despair. “You’re a fifth generation bloodling, you’re our highness, you must have a plan, right? Luo Ying… Luo Ying… Nothing must happen to her. She is Shucheng’s cub, if she’s gone, Shucheng will go crazy… He will definitely go crazy.”

“… I’m sorry!”

Yao Si felt a throbbing pain in her chest as an unbearable ache spread through her, guilt flooding her senses, hurting to the point of suffocation. She couldn’t help the self blame and hatred, for that scythe had been directed at her. If it wasn’t for her… if she hadn’t found Gu Shucheng for a discussion… If it wasn’t for her….

The room started to close in on her.

“Why aren’t you home again?” A familiar cold voice broke the silence. Mu Xuan was suddenly at the door, heading straight for Yao Si. “You promised me, why…”

He stilled slightly, sensing the atmosphere in the room. Frowning, he stopped in his tracks, glancing at her in concern. “What happened?”

The feelings she had suppressed for such a long time seemed to have found an outlet. Unable to be suppressed any longer, all her emotions came flooding out. “Dad…” She clenched onto his sleeve instinctively as though clenching onto her last hope. Even though she didn’t want to cry, the tears poured out, unable to be stopped.

“What’s wrong?” Mu Xuan asked, bringing his cub closer to himself, his face tight and strained. “Speak properly, what exactly happened?”

“Dad… Mu… Mu Xuan…” Yao Si struggled to get the words out through the fear and guilt, but they overpowered her. All she could do was force down the tears.

“It’s fine, I’m here!” Mu Xuan patted her back reassuringly. This was the first time he had seen her cry, and it sent him into a frenzy. He felt… a desire to kill. “Speak slowly.”

She inhaled sharply, forcing the words out. “Luo Ying… Luo Ying…”

Only then did Mu Xuan spot the other people in the room. Luo Ying in particular caught his attention as she lay on the bed, her entire body tainted blue. His face turned cold and taunt instantly as he spat, “Doomsday Virus!”

“Your Majesty knows about this virus?” Once the information sunk in, Bai Yi stared at him in shock. His manners seemed to have left him as he rushed forward, even Nephew Gu turned to looked at them abruptly.

“Dad?” Yao Si lifted her head to glance up at him, her tears streaming down endlessly.

“Mu Xuan,” he corrected, then caressed her head softly, wiping her tears clean. “I don’t like being called dad,” he informed her seriously. “I have indeed seen such a virus, but that was a very long time ago.”

Gu Shucheng stood up, glancing at Mu Xuan with his emotions in turmoil. He was filled with anxiety, hesitation, and confusion. “Then… Your Majesty, you…”

“Do you have a cure for it?” Yao Si volunteered, reaching for his sleeve unconsciously. Her breathing stilled as she waited in anticipation.

“Mmh, it’s rather easy to cure.” Mu Xuan nodded, turning to glance at them.When he saw the three of them staring at him with hope, he frowned while caressing his cub’s head. “Is this why you weren’t back for dinner?”

She was even in tears.
