RE: LORD OF TIME

”I wonder if your Chaos Bloodline can assimilate Samuel’s bloodline as well.”

Hearing those words, William’s expression froze for a moment. But soon, his eyes couldn’t help but gleam with excitement.

Seeing the excitement in his eyes, Vivian’s lips also arched upward.

”Although I am not sure of the specific level, but the grade of Samuel’s bloodline will definitely not be low. A bloodline that allows a normal person to have divinity in their blood should at least be of Apex Grade, and its grade might even reach Origin Grade.”

”Origin Grade...” William recalled the conversation he had with Vivian last night, and even he couldn’t help but feel his breath hitch for a moment.

If Samuel’s bloodline truly turned out to be Origin Grade, and if he assimilated it and successfully triggered the fifty percent probability of his Chaos Evolution ability, wouldn’t he receive a bloodline above Origin Grade?

”I never thought the bloodline we were talking about last night might just be waiting for me at home,” William muttered with a speechless look on his face.

”If you assimilate his bloodline, then there is also a chance that you will be able to cure him even if Blood Manipulation fails. After all, once you have the same bloodline as him, your understanding of it will increase quite a bit.”

William nodded, as he was thinking the same thing.

Just then, Vivian remembered something else and asked.

”By the way, can you assimilate Samuel’s bloodline in its current state? I mean, his bloodline is still in an unawakened state. Can your Chaos Bloodline still assimilate it without it being awakened?”

William nodded.

”His bloodline being in an unawakened state doesn’t mean its origin doesn’t exist in his blood. My bloodline directly assimilates the origin of other bloodlines, so it doesn’t matter whether the bloodline is awakened or not.”

”That’s good...” Vivian nodded and looked at his storage ring. ”It’s a pity that you can’t assimilate more bloodlines right now without mutating, or you could have used Samuel’s blood to assimilate it.”

William shook his head and gave a wry smile.

”This much blood is not enough. Have you forgotten how much of your blood I needed to drink before I assimilated your bloodline?”

”That...” Vivian’s gaze turned a bit strange. ”If you drank that much blood from him, he would definitely turn into a dried corpse instantly.”

”I am not that stupid...” William rolled his eyes. ”Even if I were to take that much blood from him, I would definitely prepare plenty of blood-replenishing potions and tonics for him.”

He looked outside at the falling waterfall and saw that it was already morning. Although there was still more than an hour before class started, he still decided to go back.

’I didn’t tell Liam that I would stay out last night. I hope he didn’t go to the student council to report that I went missing...’ He thought inwardly, but suddenly, his mouth couldn’t help but twitch as he remembered what kind of misunderstanding that guy had about him.

’Considering he thinks I am being taken care of by a senior in exchange for my body, he might just be rolling around on his bed in jealousy after seeing that I didn’t return.’

”What are you thinking?”

Vivian’s voice brought him out of his thoughts, and he shook his head.

”It’s nothing...” He looked at her and hesitated for a moment, as he needed her help with something.

Seeing the hesitation on his face, Vivian sensed his thoughts through their Blood Pact, and her eyes softened.

”Will, they are also my family now, and I will never take any risks with their safety,” She spoke in a serious voice. ”When I told you to act freely without the fear of those powerful nobles, I had already considered the possibility of them trying to use your family against you.”

Her eyes gleamed with cold light, and a sneer appeared on her face.

”I have already sent some people from the Drizzling Pavilion to always watch over your family. With them protecting their safety, those nobles will only be walking to their deaths if they try to approach them.”

William was stunned when he heard Vivian’s words and stared at her blankly.

He had indeed been thinking about this issue after offending so many nobles, especially that petty guy, Edrin.

He was actually considering going to the Drizzling Pavilion and using some of the information he possessed from the original timeline as payment to hire some people to keep his family safe.

But as a dark organization, the location of the Drizzling Pavilion was never fixed, and it was difficult for him to search for them with his current abilities.

That’s why he wanted to ask Vivian for help in finding them.

But he did not expect that she had already sent someone from the Drizzling Pavilion to watch over his family.

Seeing his blank expression, Vivian leaned forward and asked with a smile.

”Feeling touched?”

William looked at the beautiful face before him and took a deep breath before speaking.

”Extremely touched.”

”Then how are you going to repay me...” Vivian brought her face even closer to his, her breath brushing against his face. ”It cost me a lot of money to hire those people, you know.”

William felt slightly embarrassed because he was currently just a pauper with nothing truly valuable on him.

”Uhh... I don’t have anything on me right now. How about I repay you with my body?”

He spoke after thinking for a moment, intending to give his blood to her for now before earning some money and buying something good for her later.

Vivian smiled when she heard William’s words.

”I will gladly accept your offer,” She said and suddenly leaned forward, her lips pressing against William’s.

William’s eyes widened as he felt the soft sensation on his lips, his mind going blank for a moment.

Vivian lightly bit his lips, drawing out a small amount of blood before sucking it away and immediately pulling her head back.

She looked at his stunned expression and licked her lips.

”It was a pleasure doing business with you.”

She said before her figure burst into a cloud of blood mist and disappeared.

William finally came back to his senses after seeing her disappear and feeling her emotions through their Blood Pact. His face couldn’t help but turn strange.

”I was the one who was kissed. So why are you the one running away in embarrassment...” He muttered with a baffled look, feeling speechless.

But remembering the soft sensation, he touched his lips with his finger, and a smile appeared on his face.

”If this is how business is done, I think I am always open to it.”
