Chapter 311: Chapter 209: The ’XX’ Deal with the True Vampire Ancestor

"[Blood of the God of Love]?"

Su Xuan’s eyes were fixed on the drop of blood in his hand, which shimmered with a rainbow-colored light. He was utterly astonished.

Who would have thought that a drop of Divine Blood was hidden inside the Snake-man’s heart!

The moment he obtained the drop of blood, the voice of Vampire True Ancestor Kanlutia echoed in his mind. "Divine Blood!? Such sweet, alluring blood! Give it to me, human! Hand it over, and I can grant you anything you desire!"

"..."

Su Xuan paid no mind to the True Vampire Ancestor’s voice.

He simply wondered to himself, ’Does this drop of Divine Blood mean that Queen Medusa has actually returned to the Magic Continent from the Divine Realm?’

’And she even managed to injure the legendary Goddess of Love, stealing a drop of Her blood?’

Although it was just his speculation, it was a definite possibility.

"This drop of blood..."

Lucia and the others were also captivated by the drop of blood, which glowed with a dazzling, rainbow-colored light. The Divine Power it contained was naturally a source of great temptation for them as well.

"Divine Blood. I don’t know why it was here, but it’s an unexpected windfall,"

Su Xuan said with a smile, very pleased with how the mission had turned out.

Rosaline gazed at the drop of blood, her eyes gleaming with a mesmerized light. "Divine Blood? It’s incredible that such a divine artifact would be here."

Even as an Undead, Rosaline still longed to attain a Divine Position.

Just then, Lucia warned Su Xuan, "This is an extremely precious item. You must keep it safe and never let anyone else know about it. If word gets out, even a Demigod would drop their facade to fight you for this drop of blood."

Su Xuan nodded in understanding. "Right. I’ll be careful."

Only the few of them present knew about this. If anyone else knew, it could only be the one who left the drop of blood behind.

"Let’s get out of here for now," Su Xuan suggested.

"Okay."

Su Xuan first used the Teleportation Array to send the petrified Mare Rhine back to the Guild. He then rode Veronice back to the village and handed the Snake-man’s heart to the village chief.

"Thank you so much, Lord Adventurer!" the village chief said gratefully to Su Xuan. "This is the finest sword in our entire village. Please accept it as a gift of our thanks!"

As he spoke, the village chief handed Su Xuan a Dark Green Short Sword, along with a bag of Gold Coins.

[Highly Poisonous Short Sword (Epic): A short sword steeped in a potent poison. Whatever you do, don’t lick it!]

"Poison?"

Su Xuan examined the Dark Green Short Sword closely. Paired with a Player’s unique inventory, it was undoubtedly a perfect weapon for a sneak attack—he could summon it instantly to deliver a fatal blow!

After collecting the rewards for the hidden quest, Su Xuan returned to the Guild with Lucia and Rosaline.

Veronice didn’t accompany them. For personal and family reasons, she couldn’t live at the Guild.

However, Su Xuan could summon her to his side at any time via their contract, as long as the distance between them didn’t exceed a thousand kilometers.

Back at the Guild, Su Xuan found Alice and Viora gathered around Mare Rhine’s statue, eyeing the petrified woman with great curiosity.

"Master, what happened to Miss Reine?" Alice asked curiously.

"She was hit by Queen Medusa’s Petrification Magic. Don’t worry, she’ll be back to normal in a couple of days," Su Xuan explained.

"Petrification?" Alice blinked, continuing to observe Mare Rhine’s statue with curiosity.

Su Xuan, meanwhile, noticed Ivsha and Ailum talking to each other, which piqued his curiosity.

He was about to walk over when he vaguely heard them discussing the "Art of Holy Light," which made him immediately back away.

Su Xuan turned, sat on a sofa in the Guild hall, and submitted the D+ Level request he had just completed.

+9 Gold Coins, +90,000 EXP!

As he submitted the quest, he received a message from Xia Yu.

[Xia Yu: Holy shit! I heard some Player actually killed that level 60 Snake-man! That’s insane! I have to send that pro a suit of Silver Scale Armor!]

After a brief moment of surprise, Su Xuan closed the chat channel and focused his attention on the drop of Divine Blood.

The drop of blood, glittering with a brilliant light, still filled him with a profound sense of awe. Even as a single drop, it seemed to contain an irresistibly immense Power.

"Hey, human! Give it to me! Quick, give it to me~!"

Vampire True Ancestor Kanlutia’s voice echoed in Su Xuan’s mind again. Her craving for the Divine Blood was so intense that she seemed ready to burst out of his body just to savor this drop of blood from the God of Love.

However, Su Xuan just replied coldly, ’You’re not worthy.’

He knew full well how important this drop of Divine Blood was, especially since it could grant the Super Rare Trait [Blood of the God of Love]. There was no way he would simply hand it over to the True Vampire Ancestor.

"You! You despicable human brat! Do you have any idea what a massive opportunity you’re passing up? For just one drop of Divine Blood, you would gain the favor of a Vampire True Ancestor!" Vampire True Ancestor Kanlutia tried to entice him again, but she didn’t seem to be much of a negotiator.

Su Xuan merely shot her a cold glance, showing no interest at all.

Then, his gaze locked onto the drop of the Blood of the God of Love. He had a nagging feeling that it held some kind of secret.

He tried to probe it deeper, but could only sense a faint anomaly, unable to fully grasp its true nature.

Just then, Lucia came over and handed Su Xuan a peculiar container. "Here."

"What is this?" Su Xuan asked curiously, taking the container from Lucia.

The container was a transparent sphere with intricate patterns carved onto its surface. It was hollow, yet a mysterious power seemed to flow within.

Lucia explained, "It’s a container designed specifically for storing Divine Blood. The Bright Church Court keeps a few drops of Divine Blood on hand in case of need."

"I see."

Su Xuan nodded and carefully placed the precious drop of Divine Blood inside the container.

The drop of Divine Blood floated in suspension inside the container, its brilliant radiance seeming to soften, as if the vessel could effectively contain the dissipation of its Divine Power.

Then, Su Xuan handed the Divine Blood to Lucia. "Lucia, can you sense this drop of Divine Blood? I have a feeling there’s some kind of secret hidden inside."

"What’s hidden in it?"

Upon hearing this, Lucia took the Divine Blood. A golden light burst from her fingertips as she infused her Magic Power into it.

After a moment of deep probing, Lucia’s expression suddenly turned grave.

Seeing her reaction, Su Xuan’s heart tightened. He quickly asked, "Did you find something?"

Lucia shook her head and answered softly, "I can’t fully discern the truth within it. There seems to be a powerful force protecting this secret..."

And at that very moment, the True Vampire Ancestor’s voice echoed in Su Xuan’s mind once more: "Human! Beg me! Beg me, and I’ll tell you the secret hidden within this blood. How about it?"
