Chapter 29: The Terror of the Extreme Yin Bloodline
After a night had passed, Yebecheng returned to its usual state. The houses that had been destroyed were being rapidly repaired under the temporary arrangements made by Li Beiye.
As for the remaining members of the Wang family, Li Beiye did not show any further mercy. Even while still nursing his own injuries, he took the other two elders of the Su family and had the entire Wang family struck from the records of Yebecheng.
Though he called it "striking them from the records," Li Beiye knew in his heart that as long as Wang Yiyi remained alive, Yebecheng would eventually be destroyed.
Although the Su residence had also suffered heavy losses, many factions, emboldened by Su Yang's powerful appearance, had joined the Su residence overnight to assist with the reconstruction efforts.
As for the City Lord's residence, Li Beiye was not in a hurry. Once he had finished his immediate tasks, he rushed to check on Li Shanshan. Seeing that her condition had stabilized, he could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
As for Su Yang, Li Beiye also went to see him. Fortunately, the Purple Lightning Lion had not sustained many injuries, and having it constantly guarding Su Yang’s side saved Li Beiye a lot of trouble. For now, he could only wait silently for Su Yang to recover.
In a certain room, the Purple Lightning Lion looked at Su Yang lying on the bed, occasionally licking his face with its tongue. "Big Brother, have you slept enough? It's time to wake up!"
"Don't think I don't know you're just pretending to sleep... With your monstrous constitution, you probably recovered long ago."
As it turned out, no sooner had the Purple Lightning Lion finished speaking than Su Yang slowly opened his eyes. He propped himself up with both hands, stretched, and said, "Ah! That was a great sleep. I haven't rested like that in a long time."
"What the hell!"
"Big Brother, you were actually sleeping?" The Purple Lightning Lion jumped in surprise, exclaiming when it heard Su Yang speak.
"Hehe, sorry about that. I was truly exhausted yesterday, so I just passed out. I should be fine now." As Su Yang spoke, he leaped off the bed, performed a few warm-up exercises, and patted the Purple Lightning Lion on the head.
"Damn, I thought you were actually going to kick the bucket."
"It's good that you're okay, it's good that you're okay." The Purple Lightning Lion also breathed a sigh of relief, while secretly admiring Su Yang’s powerful recovery ability.
"Hmm? Where are we?" Su Yang only then realized, looking at the surrounding room decor.
"It seems to be the City Lord's residence, the home of that young girl you asked me to save," the Purple Lightning Lion said thoughtfully.
"Oh? The City Lord's residence, is it?" Su Yang stroked his chin, as if remembering something.
Just then, the door was pushed open, and Li Beiye walked in, his tone filled with joy. "Su Yang, you've finally woken up?"
Seeing that it was Li Beiye, Su Yang bowed respectfully. "Thank you for taking us in, City Lord. I hope I haven't caused you too much trouble."
"Nonsense, there's no need for that. If it weren't for your appearance, there would be no City Lord's residence left, let alone me, Li Beiye. We might even be under the rule of the Wang family right now."
"I wonder how you are recovering, young friend? Are you still in any pain?" Li Beiye asked, his tone sounding somewhat humble.
"Thank you for your concern, City Lord. This junior is already fine." Su Yang could tell that the City Lord seemed anxious, though he did not ask further.
"That is good, that is very good. To be honest, there is something I must ask of you. I hope you can agree, no matter what. If you can agree, I am willing to serve you like a beast of burden!" As Li Beiye spoke, he began to kneel on one knee.
Seeing this, Su Yang hurriedly reached out to support him. "City Lord, there is no need for this. Just tell me what it is; if it is within my power, I will certainly not refuse. My father told me since I was a child that our Su family was able to establish itself in Yebecheng thanks to your care."
Hearing this, Li Beiye’s expression revealed infinite sorrow. He gripped Su Yang's hands and said, "I beg you, young friend, please save my daughter!"
Seeing Li Beiye’s profound grief, Su Yang’s expression turned solemn. "City Lord, what has happened to Shanshan?"
Afterward, Li Beiye led Su Yang and the Purple Lightning Lion into the room where Li Shanshan was resting. As soon as the door opened, a chill of icy air rushed toward the three of them.
Su Yang couldn't help but shiver. "What a chilling aura. What on earth is going on?"
"Young friend, Shanshan actually possesses a special bloodline; however, it is the extremely rare Supreme Yin Bloodline!" Seeing Su Yang’s confused expression, Li Beiye could only explain with a bitter smile.
"Supreme Yin Bloodline? What is a Supreme Yin Bloodline..." Su Yang had never heard of it, but seeing Li Beiye’s expression, he guessed it was no ordinary thing.
"Sigh, you should take a look at Shanshan’s condition first." With that, Li Beiye led Su Yang to her bedside.
When Su Yang saw Li Shanshan lying on the bed, he could not help but gasp. Her delicate body was already covered in frost, and even her dark eyelashes were radiating cold air.
"Such a terrifying aura of extreme Yin," Su Yang exclaimed.
"Damn, even I feel frozen to the bone. How is this girl still alive?" The Purple Lightning Lion, standing to the side, was shivering despite its thick fur.
"Sigh, the Supreme Yin Bloodline in my daughter’s body erupts about every five years. It should have been another three years until the next eruption, but last night's events... caused Shanshan to forcibly release the power of her bloodline, leading to a premature eruption... and now she has become like this," Li Beiye said, his voice choking with emotion.
Su Yang’s expression was extremely grave. He said with great seriousness, "City Lord, you said earlier that I could save your daughter’s life? What do you mean by that?"
"It is like this: the Supreme Bloodline within you is essentially a bloodline of pure masculine energy. If you could lend a portion of your Supreme Blood to my daughter, it might be able to suppress the extreme Yin energy within her," Li Beiye said urgently.
Su Yang frowned. He seemed to have developed a trauma regarding the idea of donating blood.
At this moment, the voice of the Great Sage echoed in his mind: "Kid, you are indeed the only one who can save this girl right now, but... I'm afraid that even if you save her, she won't live for long."
"Great Sage, is this bloodline really that terrifying?"
"Hmm, 'terrifying' is an understatement; it shouldn't even exist."
"..."
"However, it is a miracle that this girl has held on for so long. With your current power, you cannot save her permanently; you can only temporarily suppress the eruption of the extreme Yin energy. Moreover... once you leave, if she has no other means, I fear she will not survive the next eruption."
Su Yang understood what the Great Sage meant. If he saved Li Shanshan, he would have to be prepared to donate blood at any time from now on.
This reminded Su Yang of the three years he had spent being kept as a "blood slave" by Wang Yiyi. He couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart: "Who would have thought that my Supreme Blood would become such a hot commodity? Why am I working so hard? I might as well just go sell my blood."
