Chapter 289: Merging with the Elfen Bloodline

"You…" Xiaolong Gui gritted her teeth.

Lu Zhen's gaze turned cold as he looked at her, his crimson eyes shimmering with killing intent.

"Will you tell me or not?" he said with his patience wearing thin.

"Yes, yes, I will tell you," Xiaolong Gui answered with a tentative expression.

"What will happen when the Elven ancestor bloodline is mixed with my own bloodline?"

"I don't know," she replied with an honest tone.

"You don't know?" Lu Zhen frowned upon hearing this.

"Then who would know your bloodline except for you? Haven't you studied your own bloodline?"

"I have studied my own bloodline, however, I can't tell what will happen if you combine it with your own bloodline. But the chance of you dying is very high," Xiaolong Gui spoke with a strange expression on her face.

"Hmm?" Lu Zhen's frown deepened. "She is pretty useless in this kind of thing."

"System, what is the probability that I might survive?" Lu Zhen called out to his system.

[The chances of surviving if you take the Elven ancestral bloodline with your already Volgrith bloodline is fifty percent, host.]

A thoughtful expression marked Lu Zhen's face when he heard this.

"My chances of survival are 50%, huh. What if I directly take the bloodline and inject it?"

[Then your chances will shift from 50 percent to 0.00009 percent, host.]

Lu Zhen was even more shocked to hear this. "That low of a percentage, huh…"

"What about if I sacrifice my Volgrith bloodline system?"

[Then your survival rate will go up to one hundred percent, host.]

"Oh?" Lu Zhen was amused when he heard this. "This Dual Cultivation skill's effects are heaven-defying then…"

He thought carefully.

[So, host, do you want to merge with it?]

Lu Zhen looked at Xiaolong Gui with his crimson eyes and then shifted his gaze to the side where Xia Mei was sleeping peacefully, with a blissful expression on her face. His essence was still leaking out from her crotch area.

Since they both were bloodline martial artists, and even Lu Zhen was one, the chances of impregnating the woman were very low. Even if they did become pregnant, Lu Zhen was determined to face it like a man and be a good father as much as he could be.

Lu Zhen had already considered them his women. Until they die or he dies, they would always be together.

That was his principle.

Lu Zhen turned around and left the place silently.

"You're already leaving, Lu Zhen?" Xiaolong Gui called out with a frown on her face.

"Yeah, I am leaving. What, are you going to miss me?" he turned with a chuckle on his face.

Xiaolong Gui shook her head, her eyebrows fluttering with confusion.

"I am just surprised you left me alone so easily."

"Oh," Lu Zhen raised his eyebrows. "I didn't leave you alone. Don't be in an illusion like that."

"What do you me-?" Xiaolong Gui suddenly paused as she looked around her. Four wooden puppets surrounded her with a knife right at her neck.

"If you make any wrong move, these guys will handle it, so bye." Lu Zhen said as he left, his chuckle still echoing in her head.

"Damn it, that bastard." Xiaolong Gui's eyes flashed with hatred; however, in just minutes, her mind cooled down.

"But he looked very handsome, and his muscles…" a rosy hue appeared on her cheeks.

The once proud god-rank martial artist was now like a little girl who had just fallen in love!

As she was lost in thought, maids entered the room and swiftly escorted Xiaolong Gui out. They tended to Xia Mei, who had a blissful expression on her face.

…

Lu Zhen remained in his cultivation room, sitting cross-legged, meditating.

He took long, deep, laboured breaths as he gradually calmed down from all the distracting thoughts.

The familiar blue screen appeared in front of his eyes again.

[Do you wish to merge with the Ancestral bloodline of Elfen?] (Yes/No)

Lu Zhen decisively imagined pressing "yes."

The moment the blue panel flickered, a "boom" sound echoed in his body as his crimson eyes directly rolled up.

Red veins popped from his body as Lu Zhen fainted, collapsing to the floor unconscious.

The pain wasn't something that any mortal could handle!

If Lu Ming, a first-stage martial artist, almost died because of the pain from transplanting the bloodline, then Lu Zhen, who was a peak second-stage martial artist in Qi cultivation and a half first-stage martial artist with his body, faced an even greater challenge.

But the difference was that the bloodline Lu Ming took was a bloodline of a first-stage martial realm equivalent, whereas the one Lu Zhen took was from the ancestral bloodline of Xiaolong Gui, a god-ranked martial artist… (check the auxiliary chapter for more info)

The disparity was like heaven and earth!

Though Lu Zhen directly fainted, the changes in his body never stopped.

His height started to grow, and a strange light surrounded his body.

Lu Zhen's black, shoulder-length hair began to grow, and the booming sound continuously echoed from inside his body, as if a nuclear war was happening inside him constantly.

The veins grew more visible over time, and a strange aura started to permeate from Lu Zhen.

Half of the aura was bloodthirsty and domineering, while the other half was a gentle breeze with an air of authority and arrogance.

As the two auras emanated from Lu Zhen's body, they engaged in a fierce battle.

Although the gentle and domineering aura had a certain dominance in the battle, it couldn't capitalise on it, causing the entire conflict to be in a stalemate for a long time.

Before long, both auras started to weaken simultaneously.

Just then, another aura rose from Lu Zhen's body. This aura seemed as cold as a machine as it swiftly tamed both the conflicting auras with a single sweep.

After defeating them, a strange reaction occurred.

Both the royal and bloodthirsty auras started to combine under the guidance of the robotic aura.

A strange, harmonious aura was created as the two auras merged together, and the robotic aura returned to Lu Zhen's body again.
