Chapter 232 (continued)

Shen Ze nodded and said, "But we don't have those blood-drawing tubes..."

Li Yang paused for a moment, then said, "Even if only a small amount is needed, is that tube still required?"

"There's no other way. Only through such precise capture can we extract Divine Blood... If we bleed a lot, the Divine Blood will merge into our bloodstream and disappear."

The Flower of Evil sighed, "Although this method of bloodletting is cruel, it also indirectly ensures that the Blood God Clan will not be drained of blood."

If all that's needed is to release the blood and then slowly extract the Divine Blood, then it's estimated that members of the Blood God Clan will bleed to death from time to time.

On the contrary, it is because Divine Blood dissolves once it is released on a large scale that the Upper Three Realms devised such a cruel method of blood extraction.

This method was very painful, but it unexpectedly saved the Blood God Clan.

The Huaxia Heavenly Palace certainly didn't have that specially made flexible tube. No matter how clearly the Shen Ze described it, or how highly skilled the weapon-making masters of Huaxia were, they couldn't possibly make it in a short time.

Besides, even if she could make it, Li Yang wouldn't be able to bring herself to do it.

Li Yang changed her mind and said, "Never mind, I'll go back to Osmanthus City and see if I can find any..."

[Would it consume ten thousand years of lifespan? Inquire about the method for extracting Sacred Heart Blood?]

Li Yang: "!"

Sister Longevity's words contain a great deal of information.

The words "Sacred Heart Blood" in particular almost confirmed Li Yang's conjecture.

"Query!"

Immediately afterwards, lines of dense text popped up. Li Yang stared at them, then stared in disbelief.

Ah, this...

No, this...

Si Kui noticed Li Yang's expression and asked, "What's wrong?"

Li Yang's expression was very strange. After a long while, he said, "Teacher, my Fortune Spirit has given me a painless way to extract Divine Blood."

Si Kui's eyes lit up, and she said, "As expected of the Human Emperor Fortune Spirit! He even knows this."

When Li Yang heard the words "Human Emperor," the image that popped into his mind was yellow.

Sister Longevity! How could you be like this, Sister Longevity!

Li Yang awkwardly tugged at the corners of her mouth and whispered, "This method..."

She added, "I think I should go back to Osmanthus City and see if I can find a way to steal some Divine Blood."

Shen Ze: "It cannot be stolen. The Divine Blood must be consumed the moment it is extracted, otherwise it will quickly dissipate."

Li Yang: "..."

Shen Ze added, "You also need to be quick when you're doing your research. Sometimes Divine Blood can last for thirty seconds, sometimes... maybe only three seconds."

Si Kui then asked Li Yang, "What method is it exactly? Since it's painless, why not just use it directly?"

Li Yang swallowed hard and honestly said, "Well, first, the person being extracted must fall in love with the extractor, then the two must have intimate relations, and at the moment of climax... a drop of Divine Blood will overflow from his heart."

Si Kui: "..."

The Flower of Evil paused, then shouted, "Li Yang! You really have your eye on this damned rabbit! And all that talk about Fortune Spirit telling you? You're just lusting after him..."

"Shut up." Li Yang couldn't stand the Flower of Evil's incessant nagging anymore.

"Fine, fine, fine!" The Flower of Evil couldn't explain why he was so angry, but he was so furious he was about to burst out of Li Yang's Spirit Sea. He roared, "Lianxin is still suffering somewhere, and you're already thinking about getting intimate with someone, is that it!"

Li Yang: "..."

She ignored the Flower of Evil, coughed lightly, and said, "This method won't work, and besides, the prerequisites are very strict; it must be..."

At this moment, Shen Ze seemed to be burning up; not only were his cheeks flushed, but even his exposed, slender forearms were covered with a faint pink hue.

Li Yang didn't dare to look at him at all.

This Blood God Clan is outrageous! What kind of bizarre setting is this?!

Si Kui coughed lightly and said, "This is indeed not quite appropriate..."

"There's no other way..."

To everyone's surprise, Shen Ze spoke up. His voice was very soft, but his words were very clear. "It can't be stolen. Besides, those flexible tubes are all in the Blood God Realm. The Blood God Realm is heavily guarded; outsiders can't get in."

The Flower of Evil roared, "So what if outsiders can't get in! This damned rabbit can definitely get in; let him go steal one!"

Shen Ze was already explaining, "I can't get it either. The guards on the hose are all at the Eighth Grade Realm, and there are even Ninth-Grade Supreme among them. I can't beat them..."

Li Yang: "..."

Si Kui coughed again tactically and said, "No, the prerequisite for extraction is that the person being extracted falls in love with the extractor, which is obviously not possible."

Shen Ze glanced at Li Yang secretly, then quickly looked away.

Si Kui: "..."

How could she not see that the rabbit-eared boy had most likely fallen in love with Li Yang at first sight?

This is not surprising.

Her Little Pear Blossom, is so outstanding, it would be a miracle if he didn't like her!

But... Si Kui thought about that pitiful lotus Lianxin...

Sigh, it's not her place to worry about the young people's affairs.

The Flower of Evil was furious, saying, "I'm right Spirit Sea! If you dare let me see such filthy things, I... I'll devour you!"

Li Yang, her head throbbing from his nagging, snapped, "Alright, alright! Do you think I'm that kind of person?!"

Flower of Evil: "..."

He felt inexplicably at ease again.

Although Li Yang always resorts to any means to achieve her goals, there are some things she truly never does that cross the line.

But... has this really crossed the line?

Judging from the dead rabbit's expression, it was clearly eager to offer itself up.

This rabbit perfectly matched Li Yang's aesthetic preferences, had a simple and innocent personality, and also had such a tragic past...

Depend on!

The Flower of Evil felt an overwhelming longing for the Lianxin.

He can't beat this damn rabbit, Lianxin, can you hurry up and come back?!

Shen Ze swallowed hard and said, "I'll do anything to help my sister..."

His voice grew softer and softer as he spoke.

He had originally said this to Li Yang, but he definitely didn't mean it that way at the time.

Li Yang rubbed his temples and said, "Many things can't be done just because you want to. The prerequisite for this extraction method is that you have to fall in love with the other person, to the point that you're willing to offer up your heart's Divine Blood."

Shen Ze: "!"

He felt his blood surging through his body, and under Li Yang's gaze, he felt intensely hot all over.

Does he like the Light of Dawn?

Just hearing those four words made Shen Ze's heart pound.

This is a great hero who has made a name for himself in the Astral Realm, a powerful being who has stirred up chaos in the Upper Three Realms, and someone who assassinated the God King...

Shen Ze recalled the gaunt figure that rushed out from the shadows when he faced that deformed Star Points.

In his most desperate moment, Li Yang gave him hope.

She even offered to help him rescue his sister and free his entire clan from the shackles of the Upper Three Realms!

Faced with such a person, how could Shen Ze not...

However, Li Yang's next words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the raging flames in his heart.

She said, "We met by chance, it was just a brief encounter, how can we talk about love or not? Even if you were willing to do it to save my sister, it wouldn't meet that condition, understand?"

Shen Ze: "..."

Li Yang added, "Alright, stop thinking about that. I'll try to see if I can verify that hypothesis without extracting Divine Blood."

"Not extracting Divine Blood?" Shen Ze looked bewildered.

Li Yang: "It might take... a little longer, but let's give it a try anyway."

Shen Ze looked at Li Yang, but he saw no hint of romance in her eyes.

Although she said those words to him, her eyes remained clear and unambiguous.

She was simply stating an objectively existing solution; she wasn't implying anything.

The restless blood in Shen Ze gradually cooled down.

Come to think of it, they were just strangers who met briefly, and he...

But the stabbing pain in my heart was impossible to ignore.

"Shen Ze?" Li Yang called him softly.

Shen Ze out of his daze, lowered his eyes, and said, "What do you need me to do? Just tell me, sir."

Li Yang has already contacted Li Yaowan.

Since we cannot extract Divine Blood, we can only conduct scanning research on the Shen Ze.

Li Yaowan's research lab now houses a large number of devices for scanning the body.

Although it was supposed to be tailor-made for the Huaxia, with the help of Sister Longevity and by spending more of her lifespan, Li Yang could probably adjust it to suit the Blood God Clan.

Li Yaowan was quite surprised when he heard about the Blood God Clan's situation.

She bluntly asked, "Why not just extract the Divine Blood directly?"

Si Kui coughed lightly.

Li Yang gave a brief explanation.

Li Yaowan glanced at the rabbit-eared boy and said, "Sure, this kid is nice. Don't you like him?"

Li Yang: "..."

Li Yaowan's romantic affairs back then were countless.

It was for this reason that Li Qingchen stubbornly insisted on becoming a nun.

Li Yaowan said, "Why go through all this trouble when there's such an easy way? Besides... Little Tabby isn't young anymore; she needs to experience some things..."

"Teacher Li!" Li Yang quickly interrupted her, "I've already consulted my Fortune Spirit, and the equipment can be adjusted! Maybe the data collected will be more systematic and comprehensive then!"

"But the accuracy will definitely be much worse..."

"No need for such precision, I just want to verify this Divine Blood..." Li Yang said, "Let's try it first, and see what happens."

Li Yaowan: "Alright then."

Li Yang quickly took Shen Ze to Li Yaowan's research institute.

Li Yang isn't currently short of lifespan, so even if Sister Longevity Changsheng makes an exorbitant demand, she will grant it.

Song Jinhuan was also in this research institute. As expected of Li Yaowan's good friend, the two were surprisingly in agreement on this point.
