Hengsheng nodded, suggesting Xia Zhenzue raise her head.
He felt a little uncomfortable being treated like a king. Of course, he wanted to be treated respectfully, as he deserved, but not —not to this level.
“How are you?” Hengsheng asked. His arms, which held Yunsu, could sense her small body starting to tremble. It seemed like she could not hold back her primal instinct much longer.
“I'm well enough. I’m ready to…” Xia Zhenzue began to respond to his greeting, but before she could even finish her words, Hengsheng interrupted her.
“Let’s talk later. It’s time for you to fulfill one of our agreements,” Hengsheng said.
Xia Zhenzue was not stupid. She could sense a terrifying aura beginning to leak from the small kitten's body in Hengsheng’s arms. She nodded in understanding.
“Put your hand forward…” Hengsheng asked Xia Zhenzue to follow his instructions.
Xia Zhenzue obediently followed Hengsheng’s instruction and stretched her right hand forward, her palm perpendicular to the ground.
Hengsheng put Yunsu down.
She was currently drooling, the saliva dripping onto the floor. Her beastly eyes lock onto Xia Zhenzue. Her nose sniffed.
The smell of True Divine Beast Bloodline was too aromatic for her; every fiber of her muscles danced. Her very body asked her to devour this woman quickly. Her jaw was shaking violently.
Her usual cute kitten face had turned into a ferocious, hungry beast. Her sharp teeth could be seen, enlarging.
Despite her beastly transformation, she still kept her consciousness, half-conscious, not yet completely consumed by her own primal instinct. Her endurance of her primal instinct was the result of her decade of diligent training.
Yunsu’s paws began to move as she took a step forward. Xia Zhenzue began to feel afraid, seeing the cute kitten take on such a beastly appearance.
Yunsu stopped in front of Xia Zhenzue’s palm. She raised one of her paws and tapped on the palm, as if trying to connect them.
She held control over her body with her willpower, not letting her own primal instinct have any power over it. She tried very hard not to take a bite of this woman's hand.
With her strong willpower. She immediately
Yunsu opened the Infinite Bloodline Evolution System Panel, then she spent millions of Evolution Points she had accumulated over a decade to activate the [Bloodline Copy] function!

[Bloodline Copy Activated]
Detected Bloodline: Snow Phoenix[Divine]
Initiating Copy Process…
Both Yunsu and Xia Zhenzue were enveloped in a white glowing aura. Their eyes closed as they entered the state of harmony. The aura on their palm and paw glowed more brightly than the other parts, as it was the connection point.
Hengsheng observed them from nearby. Seeing the progress was smooth, he was relieved. This was not the first time Yunsu had copied the bloodline from others.
Hengsheng and Yunsu had already done some experiments on this function. They learned that if the other party did not willingly allow Yunsu to copy, there was a chance that the process could fail, especially if the other party's cultivation realm and bloodline were strong.
The smooth progress as it was right now was a good sign.
However, there was still a timing problem. He didn’t know how long it would take, since this was the first time they had tried to copy a Divine Grade bloodline.
From their experiments, the higher the grade, the longer it took. Even within the same grade, the time required to copy could vary greatly due to several factors, which he has yet to figure out.
Hengsheng, on the side, took the role of guarding them, ensuring no one interrupted. If something happened that caused the process to stop midway, Yunsu would lose her Evolution Points for nothing.
What he needed to do was wait. He didn’t feel it was a waste of time, since as a cultivator, time had started to become cheaper as he grew stronger—unlike when he was an ordinary mortal.
Though the process hadn’t yet ended, signs of completion had begun to appear.
The white aura around Yunsu surged, gradually forming an image above her head. It wasn’t complete, but Hengsheng could already tell—it would become the image of the Snow Phoenix.
The time it took to copy the Divine Grade bloodline was more than Hengsheng had expected. In their experiment, they had copied the Earth Grade bloodline of the Blood Fiend from a demonic cultivator—it had only taken Yunsu 15 minutes to complete the copy.
The Heaven Grade bloodline was rare. Hengsheng could not find the right target to capture and use as a lab rat for their horrible experimentation without feeling guilt, so he had no data on this. But he guessed it shouldn't take more than a day.
However, it had already been 10 days. Still undone. The Divine Grade was truly another level in everything.
The image of the Snow Phoenix above Yunsu’s head gradually took shape as time passed. It was almost complete—already at 90%—before the image was fully formed.
When the copying process was about to end, Hengsheng sealed the entire place under a concealment veil to prevent the aura that would emerge when Yunsu gained her new Divine Grade bloodline from leaking out.
[Bloodline Copy Completed]
You have acquired: Snow PhoenixBloodline [Divine]
The Snow Phoenix image above Yunsu’s head screeched. Its cry echoed through the chamber, followed by a wave of icy wind, of the Snow Qi.
Moments later, it finished showing its might, and it began to merge into Yunsu's body, becoming one with her and triggering a subtle transformation.
Yunsu could sense the new power source residing within her, the surge of cold energy running through her veins.
A cold feeling could be sensed on her back as a small pair of light blue wings grew from it.
She didn’t feel pain during this body transformation process because she was not human, but a spirit beast.
A spirit beast body was very resilient, especially for her, since she was born with a trait focused on evolution—her body was specifically designed for evolution from the start.
The change from transformation didn’t cause her pain; instead, it made her feel complete.
The white aura gradually faded from both Yunsu and Xia Zhenzue, a sign that everything was done.
“Meow?” Yunsu examined her own body, flipping the small wings on her back and testing them.
Hengsheng was also surprised. This was the first time a bloodline had caused a change to her appearance. Other bloodlines had caused changes too, but never anything this visible on the outside as this one.
“How do you feel? Great?” Hengsheng asked with excitement. After seeing the power of bloodlines many times, he couldn’t help but want one himself—if not for his unusual race.
He had already tried to acquire bloodline power before, but he couldn’t. Due to his race, the body didn’t accept the bloodline power. When the bloodline entered his body, it was instantly assimilated and consumed; his body couldn’t retain the bloodline's ability at all.
However, this was not without any result. The assimilated and consumed bloodline did strengthen his genetic trait ability—even if only a little.
Hengsheng assumed that weak bloodlines couldn’t withstand the power of his race. He would need to try it with a powerful bloodline to see whether it could take hold—but he hadn’t had the chance yet.
“Meow! (Great),” Yunsu meowed while showing her new wings to her human. She was happy with her gain. Also, she no longer felt the urge to eat the woman, since she now has the same bloodline.
“That’s nice,” Hengsheng said as he lifted her up into his arms and cuddled her while also peeking into her system display.

Yunsu’s strength was equal to that of 7,000 Middle stage, Rank 5 Spirit Beasts or Middle stage, Spirit Integration cultivators combined.
Hengsheng swallowed his saliva, thinking that if things were still going at this rate, he would have a hard time keeping up with this little cat's strength.
If they fought, he would have to use everything he had to match her raw strength.
Life was really unfair.
