Chapter 89 - Phoenix Blood

”Are you really okay, Brother Yuan?” Xiao Hua asked him in a worried voice.

”Yes, I am not hurt. She was just sucking my blood, thatʼs all,” Yuan nodded.

”Sucking your blood?” Yu Rou raised her eyebrows and looked at Madam Feng, who remained kneeling there with a guilty expression on her face.

”Anyway, letʼs forget about this and continue with the tour— thereʼs still one item left, and I would very much like to see it,” Yuan said a moment later.

”Right away, esteemed guest!” Madam Feng quickly stood up and snapped her fingers, causing the third and last display case to reveal the treasure inside.

Once the third treasure was revealed, both Yu Rou and Yuan raised their eyebrows.

”This is… a jade slip?” Yuan placed his head in front of the display case and narrowed his eyes, making sure he wasnʼt seeing things.

”This object has this indescribable feeling to it…” Yu Rou also looked at it with curiosity. ”What is this thing?”

”The jade slip is just a container. The real treasure is inside, and inside the jade slip is a single drop of blood.” Madam Feng responded.

”Blood?” They looked at her with raised eyebrows.

”Of course, it is not just any ordinary blood, as it once belonged to a legendary divine beast— the Vermilion Phoenix.” Madam Feng spoke with a smile on her face.

”Vermilion Phoenix? So there is phoenix blood inside that jade slip?” Even Xiao Hua became interested after learning of its origins, as phoenixes are extremely rare divine beasts.

”Thatʼs right, and this is authentic phoenix blood.” Madam Feng nodded.

”How can you tell itʼs real phoenix blood?” Yuan asked. ”Is there some way to test it?”

”There is, but that requires one to consume the blood and test its effects, which is a complete waste since thereʼs only a single drop. However, we know this is real phoenix blood without needing to test it because it was given to us by the Vermilion Phoenix herself.” Madam Feng said to them.

”What? You have met the phoenix?” Yuan looked at her with wide eyes.

”No, I havenʼt. The phoenix blood had been passed down many generations, and it was my ancestors that obtained the phoenix blood from the Vermilion Phoenix.” Madam Feng shook her head.

”Is that so? Then does this phoenix blood actually do anything besides being extremely rare?” Yu Rou asked her.

”Of course,” Madam Feng quickly nodded. ”Phoenix blood is a miracle treasure with many effects. A single drop can bring a half-dead man back to life! It can also heal any illness and injuries, and it could even regrow your limbs. Furthermore, if you consume phoenix blood, your longevity will increase significantly! Depending on the quality of the blood and the strength of the phoenix it came from, it can grant even a mortal over 10,000 years of longevity without needing to cultivate!”

ʼHeal any illness or injuries…?ʼ A profound expression appeared on Yuanʼs face when he heard that, and an idea immediately appeared in his mind.

ʼIf the Translucent Dew of Flawlessness affected my body in real life, maybe this phoenix blood could also heal my illness? Even if itʼs only a possibility, I must obtain this phoenix blood at all cost!ʼ

”Umm… What do you want in exchange for the phoenix blood?” Yuan decided to ask her.

”You want this phoenix blood?” Madam Feng looked at him with a surprised face, as did Yu Rou and Xiao Hua. Why does he want the phoenix blood?

”Yes…” Yuan nodded.

”Hmm… I donʼt really know… I have had countless offers before, but none of them managed to attract me, and I donʼt have anything in mind for now.” Madam Feng said.

”How about the other Divine-grade treasures? Xiao Hua can give you all of them for the phoenix blood.” Xiao Hua suddenly chimed in.

Since this is her first time seeing such intense desire from Yuanʼs eyes, she wanted to do her best to assist him.

”Iʼm sorry, Senior, but I would prefer something else…” Madam Feng apologized to her.

”If you donʼt say what you want then how are we supposed to know what to trade?” Yu Rou asked with a slight frown on her face.

”Well… Although I have never really thought about what I wanted in exchange for the phoenixʼs blood, I think I have something in mind now...” Madam Feng spoke in a nervous tone, and she turned to look at Yuan afterward.

”Huh?” Yuan raised his eyebrows after noticing her gaze, but he soon realized what she wanted from him.

”You… want my blood?” he asked her.

”...” Madam Feng did not immediately respond and remained silent for a long moment before nodding her head in an embarrassed manner.

”Okay, how much do you want?” Yuan immediately agreed. ”As long as it doesnʼt kill me, Iʼll give you however much blood you want.”

”R-Really?” Madam Fengʼs eyes flickered with excitement.

”B-Brother… are you really going to…?” Yu Rou looked at him with disbelief. Although it may appear quite the bargain to obtain real phoenix blood by exchanging his own blood, this entire situation appeared extremely suspicious, as it was simply too good to be true.

”Yes, itʼs fine. Itʼs only my blood. Itʼll return sooner or later,” Yuan nodded.

He then looked at Madam Feng and continued, ”How do you want to draw my blood?”

”Uh… I was just thinking about drinking it straight from your body…” she said.

”Drinking it straight from my body?” Yuan trembled in fright after hearing her words.

ʼThis is for the phoenix blood! I must endure it!ʼ Yuan cried inwardly before nodding.

”Go ahead.” He lifted his arm, showing her his pale and smooth arms.

Seeing this, Madam Feng unconsciously licked her luscious red lips.

”...”

Yuan trembled even more after seeing this. Thinking to himself that Madam Feng being a vampire was becoming more and more likely.

”If you do anything suspicious to Brother Yuan, Xiao Hua will not hold back this time like previously,” Xiao Hua suddenly warned her with narrowed eyes.

”I-I wouldnʼt dare, Senior…” Madam Feng said with a fearful expression.

”Why donʼt we go somewhere more comfortable?” Madam Feng then suggested to Yuan.

After Yuan nodded, Madam Feng said, ”Follow me.”

Sometime later, they entered this room that was behind some curtains on the 6th floor, and it was clearly Madam Fengʼs personal room, as the room was filled with furniture and even a large bed.

”Please take a seat on the bed,” Madam Feng pointed at the large red bed.

”Okay.” Yuan nodded and sat on the bed without hesitation.

Madam Feng then sat beside him with Yu Rou and Xiao Hua standing a few meters away.

”Whenever youʼre ready,” Madam Feng said to him in a gentle voice.

Yuan nodded before using the Starry Abyss to cut a small opening on the lower area of his palm, and blood immediately began flowing out.

Madam Feng quickly grabbed his hand and kissed his wound with her soft lips, not letting even a single drop of his blood go to waste.

”Mmm…”

Erotic noises came from Madam Feng as she savored Yuanʼs blood that was incomprehensibly delicious for some reason, and just a single drop of it made Madam Feng completely addicted to it.

Meanwhile, Yuan tried his best to keep a poker expression on his face, but the feeling of Madam Fengʼs soft lips was simply too stimulating, especially her tongue that was gently licking his wound, almost like a dog.

”Why do you think she likes my brotherʼs blood so much? Is she actually a vampire disguised as a human?” Yu Rou whispered to Xiao Hua as they watched.

Xiao Hua shook her head and said, ”No, sheʼs not a vampire. As for why sheʼs consuming Brother Yuanʼs blood… Xiao Hua can think of a few.”

”Brother Yuanʼs blood may be special— perhaps he has a unique bloodline that has the effect of making people addicted to it.”

”Huh? Is that even possible?” Yu Rou looked at her with wide eyes.

Xiao Hua nodded and said, ”There are many unique bloodlines in this world, and some of them have powerful and incomprehensible effects, such as having blood that can increase magical beasts cultivation or blood that can strengthen even treasures.”

”Wow…” Yu Rou expressed her awe after hearing what bloodlines could do.

”But if my brotherʼs blood can affect humans, why arenʼt we affected by it?” Yu Rou then asked.

”Perhaps it only affects some people, like how some medicines work better on some than others,” Xiao Hua said.

”That makes sense…” Yu Rou nodded.

Many minutes later, Yuan was beginning to feel lightheaded, so he tapped Madam Fengʼs shoulders and said, ”I think I am at my limit… If I lose any more blood, Iʼll probably die from blood loss...”

”Aaaahhh~!”

Madam Feng removed her lips from his wound a few seconds later, even releasing a loud and satisfied sigh, sounding as though sheʼd just drank something delicious.

”Thank you, esteemed guest… I donʼt know why I crave for your blood, but I am now satisfied.” Madam Feng said to him.

”...”

However, Yuan did not respond.

”Esteemed guest?” Madam Feng noticed that Yuan was staring at her with wide eyes, so she called him again.

”Your eyes… they changed colors…” Yuan said to her, whose brown eyes had suddenly turned golden after drinking his blood.

”Eh?”

Madam Feng immediately rushed to look for a mirror after hearing Yuanʼs words, almost like she was in a panic.

”Itʼs gold… Itʼs really golden!” Madam Feng suddenly exclaimed in an excited voice, dumbfounding the people in the room. ”Hahaha! It has returned! My powers have returned!”

”Powers…?” Yuan raised his eyebrows in a puzzled manner, wondering what she was talking about.
