Chapter 167: Chapter 167: The Merged Realm

The mountains were picturesque, the waves vast and magnificent, making the landscapes breathtakingly beautiful.

In the verdant valley, where the gentle orchids grew in serpentine twists and turns, the scenery of the lush grass was so enchanting it was almost too much to take in.

“Nature’s sculpting is so intoxicating to behold.”

“But it’s quite the chore, having to apply ointment to wounds and ensuring every inch of the injury is evenly covered. It’s physically and mentally exhausting labor.”

Moved by the passion of the moment, Zi Liyuan couldn’t help but sigh deeply.

After bending over for just an hour or so, he felt he needed to roast some kidneys to replenish himself.

Such a big basketball, always rolling around in front of his eyes, sure fired up the blood.

If it happened a few more times, he might end up with nutritional imbalances.

“Ah, such a nice sofa smeared with blood. I just cleaned you up, so how did you manage to get bloodied again?”

A good deed done to the end, send the Buddha right to the west.

Lord Zi now took out a large bath towel, lifted Number Two so his front pressed against his chest, and placed the towel on the sofa.

Feeling the impact of the basketball against his chest, he reluctantly set Number Two on it, then took out a soft tissue again to wipe away the blood.

Busily scrubbing away and after much hard work, he finally looked at the perfectly cleaned masterpiece and nodded in satisfaction.

“Finally clean! Can’t anyone get rid of this damn OCD?

“Now I’ll carry you to bed, and once you wake up, we’ll have a good talk.”

After admiring the beautifully wiped and clean ketone body, he picked up Number Two in a princess hold, cuddling him with utmost gentleness.

Watching the basketball continue to roll, his steps were like lead, moving towards the large bed slowly and with difficulty.

Arriving at the bedside, he lifted the covers with one hand and gently bent over to lay Number Two down.

“They say that for saving a life, if the man is handsome and elegant, women usually say ‘Thank you, young master, for saving my life. I have nothing to repay you with, so I offer myself in gratitude’;

However, if the man is ugly, it becomes ‘Hero, thank you for saving my life. With nothing to repay you, I would only serve as your ox and horse in the next life as thanks.’

Now, considering my face is just one notch handsomer than Zunlong’s, shouldn’t you be offering yourself to me… right???”

“Then I shall offer myself, but would you dare to take me?”

(⊙o⊙)…

Zi Liyuan only felt his body sink as two soft, white snakes coiled around his neck, and then he saw Number Two’s blood-red pupils suddenly open, as well as the blood-colored lotus platform that appeared within his eyes.

In a daze, Zi Liyuan felt the surrounding scene change abruptly, and then he was in a space dominated by a blood-colored lotus platform.

At this moment, Number Two, naked, sat squarely in the middle of the blood-colored lotus platform, while he himself was bound by numerous blood-red threads, hanging suspended in the air.

“You’re not unconscious!?”

Feeling the pressure on his body as if being constrained by some force, completely out of his own control, Zi Liyuan’s face darkened as he watched Number Two, who sat on the blood-colored lotus platform.

“While I’m suppressing the Bloodline Power and can’t escape, you dare to defile me, causing me to be backlash by the Bloodline Power again? I really want to kill you!”

Number Two’s expression was ice-cold, the words spoken through gritted teeth. The blood-red threads that bound Zi Liyuan’s limbs, however, pulled him directly into the lotus platform.

“Is this an illusion?”

“No, this is the Bloodline Space I’ve created.”

“So why am I here?”

“Through the Bloodline Power, I’ve forcibly drawn your spirit consciousness here.”

“What do you want to do?”

“Do it!”

(⊙o⊙)…

“Is this really okay?”

“Weren’t you enjoying yourself outside just now? Why are you chickening out all of a sudden?”

In No.2’s eyes, there was a thick sense of disdain.

“I was saving your life, applying medicine to you, otherwise, you’d have bled out.”

“And the second time?”

Listening to Lord Zi’s shameless excuses, the disdain in No.2’s eyes intensified.

“I have a bit of OCD, seeing you covered in blood made me uncomfortable, so I cleaned you up to avoid dirtying the bed when I carry you there to rest, which might have affected your recovery.”

Lord Zi’s eyes showed a transparent silliness, giving off an impression of honest reliability and naivety.

“Do you believe that?”

No.2 grabbed Lord Zi’s chin and pulled his face close to her own, while her other hand lingered on his neck.

“Whether you believe it or not, I’ve convinced myself.”

Their eyes met, and Zi Liyuan saw wisps of red light in No.2’s blood-colored eyes which caused an inexplicable panic to rise within him.

“Since that’s the case, if you play with my body, then me playing with your Spirit is fair, isn’t it?”

As the red light in No.2’s eyes grew stronger, the blood-red threads wrapped around Zi Liyuan’s limbs began to spread over his entire body.

“I saved you, and this is how you repay your savior?”

Encased by the blood-red threads, Zi Liyuan felt a growing heat enveloping his body, and his consciousness gradually began to blur.

“Didn’t you say you wanted me to repay you with my body? If I take you, isn’t that exactly what I’m doing?”

“Are you serious?”

Feeling a delicate body pressing into his own, Zi Liyuan was momentarily stunned.

“I barely suppressed the curse trying to manifest within the bloodline, and because of you, I suffered a backlash. The Bloodline Power within me became chaotic.

So, I had to transfer some of my Bloodline Power into you to quell the backlash.

You’re the only bastard here, so who else should I turn to?

Do you really want to watch me explode and die?”

No.2’s tone was vicious as her smooth arms, like two agile snakes, tightly coiled around Zi Liyuan’s neck.

With a bit of strength, they collided into a full embrace and tumbled together.

The blood-colored lotus platform blossomed with boundless blood light at that moment, and its enormous petals started to close, forming into a bud of a blood-colored lotus, enveloping the two of them within.

As their minds connected, they instantly entered the unity of their bodies and spirits.

No.2’s initially chaotic Bloodline Power found an outlet at that moment and began to surge into Zi Liyuan’s body through his meridian points ceaselessly.

Inside the external villa.

Zi Liyuan had completely lost consciousness, his entire body collapsed atop No.2’s delicate frame.

At some point, the clothes that had covered their bodies had vanished into thin air.

A blanket slowly unfurled, covering the two naked figures.

Streams of Bloodline Power, under No.2’s strained control, flowed out of her body, forming an invisible hand that slowly adjusted their positions.

At that moment, they embraced each other closely, clinging together indistinguishably.

As the Bloodline Power formed a circulating flow within their bodies, a blood-colored glow began to bloom slowly from No.2’s body.

Just like in the Spirit, the blood light shone through her body, gradually gathering into blood-colored petals, wrapping around their forms layer by layer, and finally forming a bud of a blood lotus.
