The Young Master in the Shadows

Chapter 319: Bloodline Upgrade Pill

Victor, disguised as Vivi, slowly approached the distressed rooster who warily eyed him.

“What is this Creature…You… Vivi…” Lily asked. Why did the young master’s… No… her husband’s smell changed? She almost didn’t recognize him. His smell was stronger and spicier… It almost caused her to get intoxicated.

“A Celestial Rooster!” Victor said as he approached the cage while disguised as Vivi. The rooster who calmed down didn’t attack. It just squinted its eyes inspecting ‘Victor’. It felt something was wrong, but it couldn’t put its talon on it.

“What is it good for?” Lin asked after affirming that it was really Victor.

Vivi didn’t respond, he just bowed to the rooster elegantly, making sure to show his ‘breasts’…

The rooster bowed back, making sure to have a deep look off those ‘breasts’.

“Elise! Come see this magnificent big cock!” Victor yelled at the door making everyone look back as a pretty petite girl slowly walked into the room. It was Elise who was fully healed. 

She was blushing heavily, finally realizing why everyone called Victor a pervert… She had never known that someone could be this shameless. No wonder her cousin Charlotte hated his guts.

Earlier he made her watch as he undressed and took that pill inside the strange wooden bathtub.

His clearly defined slim muscular body looked super hot as he sweated with steam all around him. She had no idea a man could be this attractive.

She wanted to look away, but Victor entrusted her with a healing pill to give him in case something went wrong, so she had to keep watching, carefully engraving every crease off his perfect body in her memory… The pill ended up being used on her after that. She bled for five straight minutes from her nose without realizing it.

“Look!” Victor said waking her up from her fantasies and pointing at the colorful rooster…” This is a noble celestial rooster! It only likes pretty girls! So come say hi.” he said. The rooster nodded. It somehow understood what Victor meant!

Elise approached slowly and nervously, looking at the monstrous Rooster. She had never been to a dungeon, so the sight of this thing was really sticking.

“Cut your finger and let a drop of your blood into the metal dish stuck to the cage…” Victor said.

Elise looked at him nervously, not knowing what to do. He sighed then gently held her hand, and using a sharp dagger, he pricked her delicate finger.

The rooster didn’t move, he just watched as the blood drop fell in front of it. It slowly approached it then sniffed at it… The next moment it slurped with its peak and then began to crow, causing Elise to step back in fear and into Vivi’s embrace.

“What happened?” she asked.

“Don’t worry. Look!” Victor said as on the head of the celestial Rooster, a blue and silver-colored feather began to grow joining his other carefully arranged feathers.

It crowd for a few more minutes then bent down to the metal dish and spit out a red marble that Victor quickly took and inspected.

“What is this?”

“You can call it a Bloodline enhancement pill…”Victor said, giving it to Elise. “Take this as soon as you are in your room later… This thing has a very short shelf life…”

“Oh… this will?”

“Improve your bloodline by one degree!” Victor said. “The celestial Rooster, in order to mate, needs to prove to the potential female that he is a real stud, so he goes around the world collecting bloodlines from other racesʼ virgins!”

“It is a pervert!” Elise said, sucking her injured finger and inspecting the pill. “The feathers that grew on its head are proof of his success?”

“Right! That’s also why only one from every bloodline can make a certain rooster drink his blood!” Victor explained. This rooster had 5 feathers before, so it was not really that successful in his life. That’s why he answered the summoning.

“Oh… And the pill?” Lin asked.

“It is the leftovers… The rooster you see is a cheater, It enhances the bloodlines it takes to make it appear as if it was stronger than what it really is!” Victor explained. “The leftovers contain some of the enzymes secreted to enhance the bloodline by awakening some ancient genes in it… Taking it will cause your bloodline to enhance!” he said.

“Oh…” the three girls nodded, finally understanding why Victor summoned this damn thing. It was really to enhance their bloodlines.

They slowly inspected the Rooster who proudly lifted its head. Yup, it was a pervert. 

Lin finally realized what the ‘Ancient promise’ she made in the ceremony was. It was to give this pervert many blood drops of premium blood in exchange for the pills.

“Go, Lin… It is your turn…” Victor said.

“Um…” she said, extending her hand to Victor … she wanted him to do it like with Elise.

Victor sighed then quickly cut her finger and presented the blood drop to the rooster who was waiting in anticipation.

The moment the drop of blood fell into the dish the rooster licked it and from its head, a bright emerald feather began to grow. It was less impressive than the other one as Lin only had the Von Rosen family’s B-ranked Horned Serpent bloodline.

The rooster slowly spit the red pill then stood and looked at Lily… It was as if it were saying, it is your turn honey… She was the reason it accepted the summoning in the first place.

It preferred bloodlines from noble and bird-like mythical creatures like Lilyʼs S-ranked Crowned crow.

Victor sighed as he grabbed the pill and gave it to Lin.

“Take Elise and go to your rooms… “ he ordered. “You need to take this pill fast!” he added.

“Oh….” Lin frowned looking at Lily and then at Victor…” Fine…” she said, grabbing the pill and then walking out. Elise, who didn’t know which room was hers, quickly followed after giving Victor and then Lily one last look. Damn, this girl was pretty! She thought.

After the room’s door closed, Victor slowly approached the cage, then cut his own finger and let a drop of blood fall while crossing his fingers. For this, he had kept his virginity for the last few months. This thing’s enzyme only works on Virgin undisturbed and unawakened blood.

And it only likes females, that’s why he was pausing as Vivi.

The Rooster looked at Vivi and then at the blood drop. It smelled it and then crowded angrily kicking at the cage as it jumped back then began to shoot hostile glares at Victor, who stepped back to make sure he was out of range.

“What’s wrong?” Lily asked.

“I don’t know…” Vivi said in a sluttery voice. “Don’t you like me?” she asked the rooster as she began to unbutton her shirt, showing her body.

The rooster crowed again then frowned. Looking at the blood then at Vivi… This was definitely a female, the blood felt weird though.

It was tempting…

It slowly approached the blood and looked at it…. It smelled it again.

This thing had something very special in it but… 

NO!

Something was wrong…

The smell was wrong…

It was tempting…

But no…

It heard stories…

Better safe than sorry.

It stepped back and looked away.

Victor chuckled drily… He expected as much. He might disguise the smell and looks, but this thing had some nasty intuition.

“Lily… give me your hand…” Victor said.

“Um…” Lily quickly obeyed and watched as Victor pricked her finger and made a drop of her blood fall into his… he merged the two blood drops.

The rooster who was acting angrily looked at what happened and then ran to the dish. It looked at it then at Vivi and Lily.

It was a dilemma…

What should it do…

It stepped back…. Then returned to the dish…

It shook its head then stepped back. And looked to the side….

Damn… This room was full of nasty images, not giving it the chance to clear its head.

Then It looked at Lily and walked again towards the dish and gave the blood drop a smell…

It was like a candy bar that fell in the mud… A very delicious candy bar!

It hesitated.

It wondered what to do then noticed something and looked up. Lily slowly began to undress under Victor’s command.

It took her a moment to stand there naked in front of the cage, modestly covering her chest with her hand as she gave the rooster a wink.

Blood began to flow from the poor creatureʼs nostrils…. And from Victor’s too, but nobody saw that.

The rooster didn’t care anymore as it slurped the blood drops in relish. This was the only way.

It raised its head and began to crow after that.

Two feathers began to grow from its head, one of them was golden and was from the left side like the others while a unique purple one appeared from the right. It was a lone feather, the evidence that this rooster liked men!

The crow spat up one big red pill and then opened its eyes wide as it noticed the feather dangling from the right side of its head… It looked with shock at it then at Victor who quickly scooped the pill and stood back. The rooster had finally figured it out.

“KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA”

The rooster began to crow and wail angrily, scratching at the cage as if it wanted nothing more than to get to Victor and cut him into pieces… Its image as a repeatable rooster was ruined forever!

Finding it futile to assault Victor it began to try to pull the stupid purple feather from its head, but no matter how much it tried, the damn thing was as shameless as Victor as it refused to budge. 

“Calm down…. In the next few days, I will get you a few more girls… All of them have good bloodlines…” Victor said. He wanted his blood slave skill to activate, but apparently, that cock didnʼt really drink the blood, but directly dissolved it… What a wasted opportunity.

The rooster didn’t listen to Victor as it began to crow hysterically. It was ruined. Its friends will start to make fun of it and no chick would accept it! The celestial chickensʼ society was very transphobic.

“Everyone makes mistakes in their youth!” Victor added. ”All you can do now is to focus on collecting more feathers so that no one would look at the purple ones……”

The rooster responded by cursing at Victor and at his entire family in some incomprehensible bird language that if Victor understood he would have killed that shameless thing.

“What now?” Lily asked, totally ignoring the rooster and looking at the pill in Victor’s hand. It was one for the two of them, so it was hers or Victorʼs… She didn’t mind it if Victor took it.

“Let’s go upgrade our bloodline…” Victor said after a sigh. He just gestured to Lily and left the room with her. ”The cock needs some time to calm down before it is ready for action again with the other girls,” he said as he closed the door.

Why did that sound so dirty?

…

Yulian opened his eyes as he felt the sharp dagger touch his throat, drawing a red line of blood on it.

“You want to kill your husband after taking advantage of him?” He calmly asked Alice who was biting her lip as she held her dagger against him. She was hiding her body by the bed sheet that she wrapped around her.

“Tell me why I shouldn’t kill you…” she said coldly, hiding her feelings. She couldnʼt believe she surrendered to her desires and slept with this guy.

“You were the one who started it!” he said as he looked her back in the eyes. Yesterday, he learned a lot about her weaknesses. She couldnʼt keep eye contact with him.

He was right.

She looked away as she puffed her rosy cheeks. Not knowing what to do she stood up.

“Forget what happened…” she said, throwing a piece of paper at him. It was the check she promised before.

“I might try, but I will never be able to… You were my first…” he said, ignoring the check as he looked at her. She was pretty.

“SHUT UP! Do you know what we just did?” she asked.

“We made love… “ he said softly. He was good at this. “And although I have no experience I have to say, we were very compatible!”

“SHUT UP!” she blushed remembering the wild things they did under the effect of alcohol. He was right, they were compatible. “You don’t understand… We can’t be together… Our backgrounds are…” she began to make excuses.

“I have a background… It is equal if not better than yours….”

“Yeah… Whatever….” Alice didn’t believe him, she already ordered her butler to look up his background earlier, and it quickly came out that Yulian was just a poor orphan.

“I am telling the truth!” he said.

 “Yeah.. yeah… Did you see that man who broke into the wedding today… Caspian?”

“What does it have to do with him…” Yulian asked.

“Although I rejected him, he is supposedly my fiance… If he knew what we did, he would come after you and kill you…. His background is something that even my family can’t resist. So For your own safety, keep this a secret and forget about me….” she said as she threw the bed sheet that was around her body on Yulian who was conflicted about telling her that James Trove had already removed the curse Caspian placed on him.

By the time he removed the bed sheet from the top of his head, Alice was already dressed. “Live a long life… We will never meet again…” she said as she walked out without looking back. But Yulian could spot the shake in her hand.

“We will see about that…” he replied as he noticed the blood drops on the bed sheet. He was also her first!

Although he had no way to convince her now, everything would change in a few months.

Yes, he has set his mind. This chick was his!

Suddenly there was a scream outside.

“BITCH!” “MAN STEALER!” 

Thinking that it was Alice, Yulian jumped out of bed and ran to the door, and opened it slightly. Outside one woman was screaming at another who was leading a naked handcuffed guy.

“LET MY FIANCE GO!” the hysterical girl screamed.

“Marlie, take it easy…” the guy who was only wearing a towel said awkwardly.  “And Officer Lea… You were the one who assaulted me, why am I getting arrested?” 

“SHUT UP! You think I don’t know that you slipped something into my drink!” she yelled. “My blood sample is already in the labs! The results will be out in an hour!”

“I DIDN’T DO ANYTHING... YOU WERE THE ONE WHO DRUGGED ME!” the wimpy guy exclaimed.

“Like hell I would do that! We will see what you will say when I confront you with the evidence at the station!” Lea said as she dragged the poor guy away.
