Bloodlines

If you don't mind me asking, how did you get the curse in the first place?" Yusri suddenly asked Feli.

Hearing his question and recalling his history, Feli sighed with depression before speaking, "This will sound ridiculous, but we phoenixes are born with great pride, but that pride sometimes turns into arrogance, he said, and being my young phoenix bird back then, I accidentally offended someone I wasn't supposed to do, so that person cursed my bloodline, sealing my power..."

Yusri looked at him with a dumbfounded expression. His strength was sealed and his bloodline cursed just because he offended someone? What kind of person is he blaming? And how powerful was this person to curse the phoenix bloodline?

"At least you're honest," Angel suddenly approached them and said.

"By the way, what are you going to do with that Phoenix Blood, brother?" he then asked her.

"I will consume it, of course," he said.

"Eh? Why Brother Yusri...?" Melia also approached them and looked at Yusri with a confused face. "Are you hurt or sick somewhere, Brother Yusri?"

"T-No, not really," Yusri quickly shook his head.

"Then why do you need the Phoenix Blood, Brother Yusri?" Melia tilted her head in confusion. "If you're not hurt then it's about increasing your longevity... However, Brother Yusri is still very young and is not near his limit. He didn't need to use such a treasure to increase his longevity."

In Melia's view, only Cultivators who had reached the end of their longevity and also the limit of their growth would require obtaining longevity from treasures, though, because that's the only way they can survive.

"Well... It's a little complicated..." Yusri said with an awkward smile on his face. It was not as if he could tell them that he wanted to see if the Phoenix Blood could heal his body in the real world, as it would make him sound crazy.

"By the way, Young Master, I wonder, what kind of bloodline do you have? If your blood can weaken that person's curse, you must be from a powerful family that is even stronger than that person, right?" Feli suddenly asked him.

"Blood line...? But I don't have a unique bloodline" Yusri— said at least that's what his status says.

Yusri then opened his status just in case.

«Blood Line: No»

Indeed, he had no bloodline according to the system.

"It's impossible, Young Master, for you to not have such a powerful bloodline. Normal blood will not attract a Divine Beast like me, let alone weaken the curse of a powerful Cultivator in the upper heavens," Feli told him with a puzzled face.

"I don't know what to say anymore because I really don't have a special bloodline and I'm not from a strong family" Yusri said.

Feli was speechless with a brooding expression on his face. A moment later, he spoke, "Although I didn't mention this before, my phoenix blood also has the ability to awaken a bloodline. In fact, all Divine Beasts possessed such abilities. If you drink my blood, maybe you will learn more about your bloodline. After all, not everyone was born with their bloodline awakened. Some had to meet the requirements or needed the help of a treasure to awaken their bloodline."

"really?" Yusri raised his eyebrows. Maybe that's why the system can't recognize its lineage, because it hasn't woken up yet.

"After all, we will know if I have a bloodline or not after I consume phoenix blood. I just need to break the jade slip, right?" Yusri asked Feli.

"Allow me to help you, Young Master."

Yusri nodded and handed the jade slip to her.

Feli then placed the jade slip over Yusri's head and said, "Open your mouth, Young Master."

Yusri raised his head and opened his mouth.

Feli then broke the jade slip in two, and a drop of golden blood shot out from the jade slip, falling directly into Yusri's throat.

A few seconds later—

«You have obtained a long life of 50,000 years from consuming Vermilion Phoenix Blood»

«Excellent Regeneration»

«Departure: Heaven»

«Description: Greatly improve all your regeneration capabilities.»

"Uhh..." Yusri looked at Feli afterward and said, "I think the Vermilion Phoenix Bloodline is too weak to awaken my Bloodline."

"What?! My blood is too weak?!" Feli exclaimed in a shocked voice.

"That's outrageous! My blood has the ability to awaken all Descendants below the Divine level!"

However, Feli suddenly fell silent, and he continued a moment later, "Actually, it makes sense since your blood is capable of weakening that person's curse, he said, so it's not too far-fetched to say your Lineage is above the Divine level..."

Feli looked at Yusri with a look of admiration and even a hint of fear within his eyes. People who were born with Descendants above the Divine level were too far away and few in between, and only a very powerful family in the upper heaven would have the ability to give birth to someone with such a powerful Bloodline. Just who is Yusri? He came from a powerful cultivation family like what?

"Brother Yusri has a Bloodline that is above the Divine level?" Melia also looked at Yusri with wide eyes filled with shock. It had been a long time since she felt like this—maybe not since she first witnessed Yusri eating the monster core.

While Feli and Melia were staring at Yusri with dazed gazes on their faces, Angel spoke, "How much value for Bloodlines? Though, I can already imagine how powerful the Divine class is with just its name..."

"There's a lot of value for Bloodlines. The lowest grade was Royal-grade, then Imperial-grade, and finally, Divine-grade. Of course, there were still far more powerful Descendants that were above the Divine level like the Ancient level, but you only saw people with such Bloodlines in the upper heavens, but you only saw people with such Descendants, not a small place like Lower Heaven," explained Feli.

"And since my Vermilion Phoenix Bloodline is unable to awaken the Young Master's Bloodline, it means that his Bloodline is above Divine level and too strong for my blood to do anything."

"Then what might be able to awaken my Bloodline?" Yusri asked him out of curiosity.

"Well... There are many Divine Beasts that can awaken Bloodlines above the Divine level, such as the Heavenly Dragon and the Star Tortoise, but you won't find a single one of them in the Lower Heaven, either, because they just live in the sky above." Feli says.

"Upper heaven, yes," murmured Yusri.

"Are you sure you're not from a powerful cultivation family from the upper heavens, Young Master? After all, it was impossible for an ordinary Cultivator to have such a powerful Bloodline—even if they were the luckiest people in the world." Feli asked him again.

"Yes, I'm sure." Yusri.

"Hmmm..." Feli narrowed his eyes at him. Of course, he didn't fully believe it. But since Yusri didn't want to tell him, he wouldn't keep asking, because he was afraid that it would anger him.

"After all, I still have to close this shop before I can leave this place. Can you spare me a few hours, Young Master?" Feli asked him afterwards.

"Please, we'll be here." Yusri.

"Thank you, Young Master! Then I'll try to finish this as soon as possible!" Feli then left the room and started closing the shop.

Meanwhile, Yusri says to Angel, "Angel, don't you have any piano lessons to attend today?"

Angel shook her head and said, "No, no lessons on Sunday. However, I still have to cook breakfast for you, so I'll do it now."

"OK," Yusri nodded.

After Angel came out to prepare breakfast, Melia suddenly spoke, "Brother Yusri, can we really trust that woman?"

"Feli? I think so," he nodded with a calm expression. "Why? Don't you believe it?"

"Well, he's done some unfortunate things." said Melia.

"I don't think his first impression was the best. However, I can sense that he is not a bad person at heart, just like you, Melia." Yusri said with a smile on his face, causing him to blush.

"Like Melia?" he muttered.

"really so. It's hard to explain, but somehow I can tell if someone is a good person or a bad person just by their aura. Although I haven't been around people for many years now, my abilities still remain," Yusri said.

After a moment of silence, Melia nodded and said, "Since Brother Yusri trusts the bird, Melia will also believe him. As for Brother Yusri's Bloodline, Melia would think of something."

"Thank you, Melia." Yusri said to him, and he continued, "After all, I will also be out for now. If Feli comes back before I do, tell him I'll be back later."

Melia nodded, and Yusri came out from the next second with a heart throbbing with excitement, as she could not wait to see if the Phoenix Vermilion Blood had affected her body in the real world like the Light Penetrating Dew
