The Legacy System

631 Chapter 631

Madam Yan Meng's sentence was just like some sort of a calamity sign. One of those where you knew that a disaster was going to strike the next moment.

And for the right reason, the old man who was on the receiving end of those words couldn't help but feel a chill start from the back of his spine to the rest of his body.

This wasn't the first time he had felt something like this in front of his Mistress, but this was most certainly the first time he had ever had such a reaction, as he felt a predatory sting on the back of his head.

Perhaps he might have had an opportunity to escape earlier, but not anymore. He had already burned that bridge entirely and he could only seek for a quick death.

"Madam please, I have served you loyally for all these years, all I ask is a quick painless death, and that you keep my family safe as they are unrelated to this!"

With those thoughts in his mind, the old man could only plead in fear of what was to come, unable to realize that he had just dug his grave deeper.

"Uncle Tu, just what kind of a human being do you take me for!? To plead me like this despite claiming that you haven't done a mistake and thought about me!?

Unless…

Unless there is something more to the story than I know, isn't it!?"

It was at that moment that the old man understood he was screwed, as there was nothing he could do to change the situation anymore.

Either he would spill everything he knew and endanger the safety of his family from those people, or he would suffer such pain and torture that he had never imagined.

As one of the people who had seen his Mistress grow up, this old man understood just how terrifying she was against those that betrayed her and her trust.

The old man was done for!

…

While Madam Yan Meng was dealing with the old bastard, Lu'er had finally brought Eric to the Long Family Mansion, and directly to his room where the physician and the doctor were waiting.

It was clear from her ragged situation that she hadn't even stopped once on her path, and that she had been careful to not allow anything to happen to Eric on the way.

She was able to calm down, only when she let him lie on his bed, and saw the physician and the doctor to check up on him.

Still, due to the rough and stern expressions on their faces, her fast-beating heart was unable to calm down, as she could only watch over him in worry.

The longer those two guys tarried with their diagnosis the more worried and impatient she became, but she was unable to scream at them, in fear of them getting startled and harming Eric.

It took the duo more than 30 minutes of continuous check up until they finally could come up with a diagnosis which it looked like a lifetime for Lu'er

Even she didn't understand why she was this worked up, or why time seemed to pass so slowly for her. Perhaps she would understand something about this later, but right now Eric was what mattered the most.

"Doctors what's wrong with him, will he be okay!? What should we do!?"

"Ugh~! We don't know what's really happening with him!"

"What!? What kind of doctors are you, to not understand a thing!? Is he going to die!? What will happen to him!? If you don't give me a satisfactory reason I will…"

"Lu'er calm down, hear them out properly before you speak any extra word!"

"Mistress…

I am really sorry for my reaction Doctors please continue!"

The two doctors were clearly a bit startled and frightened at Miss Lu'er explosion so they didn't dare to extend this matter more than they should.

With these thoughts in their mind, one of them continued straight to the point,

"Please understand Miss Lu'er that the reason we spoke like that is because we are amazed, and shocked at what we have felt from that guy's body.

Normally he should have been on the brink of death, if not dead already, as every bone structure in his body, and all his internal organs were almost shattered.

He should have been nothing more than a shattered porcelain pot that could never get pieced together again, as most of his bones and organs were shattered so badly as they were turned to smithereens.

Yet for some strange reason, there is some sort of extremely powerful energy and vitality inside him that not only is bringing those pieces together but even gluing them stronger than before.

The body that was supposed to have become nothing but a slimy vegetable, is actually regaining its shape, form, and strength.

Not only that, but the moment this all comes to an end, he will be much stronger, and more resilient than ever before.

We don't understand how this is possible, or why it's happening, but whatever it is, it's making his whole body reform for the best!"

"So, so, so, you mean he is saved!?"

"Huh!?"

After all that explanation the two doctors expected for Miss Lu'er to get as shocked as they were, but not only wasn't that the case she also made a stupid question like that, leaving them in awe.

Just who was this man that was able to make even a demoness like her so concerned and worried about him? Just what kind of magic had he cast upon her?

"Ugh… Yes, yes, he is great, and he will become better! It's just that it will take a few days of deep sleep and rest for him to wake up!"

"Thank God!"

It was only at that moment that Lu'er could finally relax, and look at Eric with a complicated expression before her face started turning red like blood.

It was only now that she understood what she had done and said due to her anxiety and fear, and she couldn't help but feel ashamed and embarrassed about it.

This expression of hers though just served to shock the two doctors even more as they looked at her in complete disbelief.

Still, they didn't dare to stay there any longer in fear of Lu'er's reaction, as they took their leave,

"Well, since the situation is already under control there is no reason for us to stay here any longer Miss Lu'er!

We will still come once in a while to check him up, but if things continue like this he should wake up in two or three days!"

Lu'er didn't dare to look them in the eyes, as she just nodded her head before letting them leave, while she could finally look at Eric once again.

While her feelings and loyalty towards her Mistress hadn't changed, her beating heart had started to feel something new, something that she didn't understand properly what it was.

…

Madam Yan Meng could only look at her trusted right hand with a complex expression on her face, as she didn't know how to proceed with this situation.

The best way out would be to have Lu'er kill Eric as to completely destroy whatever budding feeling there was inside her heart, and get rid of a potential threat, but that was impossible right now.

After all, Eric was her 'antidote' to cure the poison she had been inflicted with, and she couldn't afford to kill him right now.

Not to mention that even her Blood Rose relied on his blood essence to grow and mature every day.

On the other hand, she couldn't even stop her from meeting Eric again, as she was bound as one of the 'ingredients' for her poison cure.

Of course, she might take her out of the equation and put another one of her trusted aides, but that would just complicate matters further and increase Eric's cautiousness and displeasure.

'Agghh~!'

Just thinking about it she was getting a headache, as she had didn't know how things would play out from here forth!

…

'Woaaahhhh~!'

It took Eric three full days to finally wake up from his deep slumber, as his body had finally recovered 100%.

Even though he was still a bit sore and numb from not moving at all for three days, he could finally feel that his body was much stronger than it firstly was.

His fleshly body was now at least 10 times stronger and sturdier than before. Most probably now he wouldn't even need to use energy to stop bullets from piercing his skin.

He felt like he would be able to even grab steel knives, spears, and swords with his bare hands. His fleshly body had become a sharp weapon, each and every part of his body had become a weapon.

He couldn't believe that the 'physique reformation' that the Dragon Empress had told him to go through would give him such benefits.

Not only that, but he could feel that the Dragon Blood drops had seeped into his bone structure and especially in the bone marrow.

This meant that those Dragon Blood drops had started to assimilate into his own, and it was slowly becoming not just Dragon Blood drops, but Dragon Bloodline.

This was a great feat that was worthy of great satisfaction and pleasure, it was just that this was only the start, and there was a long way ahead.

Despite everything that had happened to him, the assimilation currently stood at 7%. If he wanted to proceed further then he would have to decompose his body into even tinier pieces, and particles.

Which was for sure going to make whatever he went through look like a walk in the park…
