Lying on the ground year after year, day after day, unable to stand, Mo Yu had long since had enough.
Mo Yu had often thought about ending her life, but her elder brother Mo Yang’s persistence and sacrifice had kept her going until now. Now, this torturous existence was about to end, and Mo Yu was overjoyed.
Looking at Chen Jiuge, who placed his hand on her head, Mo Yu silently closed her eyes. If I’m cured, making a contract with this big brother doesn’t seem too bad, she thought.
The concentration of the Nine-Headed Snake Bloodline entwined with the Mo Qilin Bloodline was very high, likely inherited from Mo Yu’s father. Fortunately, the quality of this bloodline was only at the True Immortal Level, still within Chen Jiuge’s capabilities.
As the bloodline was peeled away, Mo Yu uttered a pained groan, but fearing discovery by her brother, she forcefully swallowed it back.
Unlike extracting bloodlines from other Spiritual Beasts, the two bloodlines in Mo Yu were deeply entangled. It was like a clash of bloodlines, yet they could not merge and mutate. Thus, Mo Yu could technically be either a Mo Qilin or a Nine-Headed Snake. However, it was Mo Yang’s efforts that had always maintained her Mo Qilin form.
"What’s going on?" Chen Jiuge watched in shock as the Nine-Headed Snake Bloodline, halfway extracted, was devoured by the Mo Qilin Bloodline.
In this brief moment of shock, the remaining half of the Nine-Headed Snake Bloodline was almost completely devoured by the Mo Qilin Bloodline. Seeing the strengthened Mo Qilin Bloodline, Chen Jiuge gritted his teeth, deciding to slowly reinsert the remaining half.
Once the Mo Qilin Bloodline completely devoured the Nine-Headed Snake Bloodline, the treatment was considered complete.
Looking at the Mo Qilin, which was gradually becoming more majestic, Chen Jiuge knew with a single glance that this Mo Qilin’s bloodline was extraordinary.
Unlike Da Bai, Mo Yu was limited by her bloodline to only Mahayana cultivation, but she had already reached adulthood. Thus, the being now standing before Chen Jiuge was truly an adult Mo Qilin.
This change alarmed Mo Yang outside.
Seeing the majestic Mo Qilin and watching his sister stand on her own, tears streamed down Mo Yang’s small face as his form slowly grew larger, transforming into a handsome young man.
"Yu’er, you’re standing," Mo Yang said, his tone complex.
"Yes, Brother," Mo Yu responded as her massive body began transforming into a human form.
"HISS! What a sin, what a sin." Chen Jiuge covered his eyes, feeling as if the sky were falling. Mo Yu transformed, but her clothes didn’t! Isn’t this going to be the death of me?
However, her captivating figure indeed made Chen Jiuge’s mind race—a true sin.
"Brother Chen, you can stop covering your eyes now," came Mo Yu’s shy voice.
Chen Jiuge looked sheepishly at the two before him and explained, "I didn’t mean to."
Mo Yang glared at him. "Of course, I know you didn’t mean it. If you had, you wouldn’t still be standing here."
"You cured my sister, so I owe you my life. If you need anything in the future, just contact me. For now, please return. I will visit your cave mansion in a few days to express my gratitude personally."
Chen Jiuge sighed in relief. It’s good to head back now; this is just too awkward, he thought.
"Wait," Mo Yu stopped Chen Jiuge.
"Brother Chen, wait a moment." Mo Yu trotted to the spot where she had always lain. From beneath a stone tile, she retrieved a storage ring and handed it to Chen Jiuge. "This is the agreed-upon reward."
"Hurry and take it! This is Yu’er’s token of appreciation. Don’t tell me you don’t want to accept it?" Even transformed into a young man, Mo Yang’s temper was as fiery as ever.
Mo Yu covered Mo Yang’s mouth and said apologetically, "Please don’t mind him, Brother Chen. My brother is just like that; he’s actually a very good person."
Holding Mo Yu’s Storage Ring, Chen Jiuge returned to his cave mansion with mixed feelings.
Why did Bloodline Devouring occur? It never happened before. Could the Golden Finger have mutated? Chen Jiuge was baffled.
Forget it. I’ll see what’s in this Storage Ring first, then test it on other Spiritual Beasts later. Burdened with heavy thoughts, Chen Jiuge hadn’t yet checked the contents of the Storage Ring.
Seeing the Storage Ring full of Qilin blood and Qilin Grass, Chen Jiuge was astonished. Mo Yang must have collected all of this for his sister. It’s truly valuable. It seems Mo Yang truly is a sister-protecting maniac.
In the Secret Realm, Chen Jiuge casually grabbed a Bibo Beast, pondering the difference between extracting bloodlines from ordinary Spiritual Beasts and the Nine-Headed Snake Bloodline he had just extracted from Mo Yu.
Quickly extracting a bloodline, Chen Jiuge’s eyes lit up. It’s the speed! The speed of extraction!
Because the Nine-Headed Snake Bloodline in Mo Yu’s body was at the True Immortal Level, his extraction speed was very slow, which gave the Mo Qilin Bloodline time to devour it. However, this hadn’t happened when he extracted the Demon Clan bloodline from Granny Silver Flower. Could the mutation have occurred then?
"No user manual! What a useless Golden Finger!" Chen Jiuge cursed, then began his experiment.
This time, Chen Jiuge reduced the speed at which he extracted the Bibo Beast’s bloodline. When half of the bloodline was extracted, the Bibo Beast’s own bloodline indeed began to devour the extracted portion.
After the Bloodline Devouring was complete, Chen Jiuge noticed that the Bibo Beast’s aura had strengthened significantly. Is the enhancement this immediate? he marveled.
To confirm it wasn’t a fluke, Chen Jiuge holed himself up in the Secret Realm and experimented continuously for three days.
Feeling the significant increase in strength of the Bibo Beast herd, and noting three distinctly mutated Bibo Beasts among them, Chen Jiuge knew he had truly struck it rich this time—and it wasn’t just a minor stroke of luck.
