Chapter 452: 452
Merle had disappeared completely . Nobody in the world could locate her anymore .
Mo Wen didn’t disturb Gu Jingman . He held onto Shen Jing’s hand and left the room . The two of them returned silently to their room .
Mo Wen kept the drop of Blood ancestor’s Divine Blood that had been forced out of Gu Jingman’s body in a bottle . Even though Merle hadn’t explained it to him, he knew that this drop of Divine Blood was precious . Otherwise, so many people wouldn’t be hunting her to try and get their hands on it .
Mo Wen knew that Shen Jing was full of questions . So, that night, he told her as much as he could .
The next morning, Gu Jingman slowly opened her eyes . A glint of brilliant, crimson light flashed past them, her eyes were full of sorrow . Even though she had only been asleep for one night, it felt like a century had passed . She had found out too many things in such a short time . She wouldn’t be able to recall everything she had learned even if she had a few lifetimes to do so . She could only seal all the additional memories in her mind .
Mo Wen was the first to visit Gu Jingman in her room . “She left!” Mo Wen said after finding Gu Jingman awake .
“I know . ” Gu Jingman nodded, slightly sad . She had never thought that Merle was a Blood Kindred and that she would bring such a huge change to her life .
Mo Wen stood in silence . He didn’t know what else to say to comfort her .
“The Blood Kindred bullied Merle . I will avenge her . ” Gu Jingman got up from the bed . She was surprisingly calm .
“You know what happened yesterday, right?” Mo Wen asked . Gu Jingman was too calm, as though she had known everything all along .
“I know . ” Gu Jingman nodded . She knew better than anyone .
“Are you a Blood Kindred now?” Mo Wen asked curiously . The race of Blood Kindred was peculiar . They could convert a normal person to a Blood Kindred through bloodline heritage . Besides that, the appearance of a normal Blood Kindred was no different from that of other humans .

“Little brother, do you not like Blood Kindred women?” Gu Jingman stared at Mo Wen with a smile, flirtatiously winking at him . She had returned to her frivolous behavior .
“That’s not what I’m asking,’ Mo Wen replied awkwardly . How was it possible for Gu Jingman to relate everything to romance all the time?
“It’s okay if you don’t like it because I’m not a Blood Kindred . But I can control them . ” A strange look flashed in Gu Jingman’s eyes and the corners of her mouth lifted slightly . She demonstrated the haughtiness of a queen again . She was slightly majestic .
“The blood you have been given is quite something,” Mo Wen said . He could sense that the bloodline heritage was not simple . Perhaps Gu Jingman’s achievements now would be more impressive than anything he could accomplish . Thinking of this, he felt a certain amount of sorrow but knew that one’s fate could not be forced . This was Gu Jingman’s fate, not his . The blood hadn’t chosen him . Instead, it had chosen Gu Jingman, although he felt that the blood had favored Shen Jing more . For some unknown reason though, it hadn’t been able to choose her as a carrier .
“The Divine Blood has developed an initial resonance with me, but we haven’t fused . It will take a very long time for the Divine Blood to completely fuse with me,” Gu Jingman sighed .
This was the most dangerous moment for Gu Jingman . Only by completely fusing with the Divine Blood would she have the ability to protect herself . It was precisely because she had not been able to fuse with the Blood ancestor’s Divine Blood in time that Merle had attracted the covetous hearts of the Blood Kindred .
“By the time you have fused, you will most likely have surpassed me, right?” Mo Wen asked emotionally .
“We do not need to wait until then . I have already surpassed you . ” Gu Jingman’s mouth curled into a victorious smile . She looked at Mo Wen with a look of utmost pride .
Mo Wen rolled his eyes .
“You don’t believe me?” Gu Jingman looked at Mo Wen, playfully blinking her eyes . Before Mo Wen could react, her silhouette bizarrely appeared in front of him . Without warning, she quickly extended a punch towards Mo Wen .
Mo Wen’s eyes narrowed as he reacted to the punch subconsciously . Gu Jingman’s attack was so quick that he did not have much time to think .

Their two fists clashed!
A terrifying power came from Gu Jingman’s body . The force propelled Mo Wen back seven to eight steps, almost causing him to crash into the wall behind him .
“Little brother, what do you think? Do you admit defeat? Reality has proven that I am still a little more incredible!” Gu Jingman was pleased as she lifted up her sharp chin .
“You are indeed very strong,” Mo Wen said in agreement . He was astonished by the strength of Gu Jingman’s power . It was comparable to that of a Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner . However, Gu Jingman’s power was purely physical and did not contain any Inner Qi, making it astounding that her power could be compared to the Golden Elixir realm .
Even for Mo Wen, in a situation where he did not use his Inner Qi, his physical strength would, at most, only be comparable to that a Sea of Qi realm ancient martial arts practitioner . From this, it could be seen how ridiculous Gu Jingman’s body was right now . She practically wasn’t human anymore .
“In the future, you need to be more respectful before me . Otherwise, I will teach you a lesson . ” Gu Jingman let out a snort .
Mo Wen was both angry and amused . “You are simply a small person intoxicated by success . ” Despite Gu Jingman’s power, she would not necessarily be a match for him when it came to actual combat . Even if he did not use any other external force, he had the confidence to defeat her . After all, she only had brute strength . Maybe she could defeat an Embryonic Breathing realm ancient martial art practitioner, but against someone like Mo Wen, she would be far too weak .
Also, she had just obtained this power . Being completely in control of it was not something she could achieve in a short amount of time .
“You actually dare to scold me!” Gu Jingman glared at Mo Wen . Her facial expression was not pleasant . She looked extremely angry .
At this moment, Shen Jing walked in . She had actually come to see Gu Jingman . “You are okay, aren’t you?” she asked . Shen Jing saw that Gu Jingman was able to stand with no problems, so knew there was nothing to worry about .
“Sister Jing’er, I am absolutely fine . ” When Gu Jingman saw Shen Jing enter, the expression she had given Mo Wen altered immediately . Now she was smiling like a flower in bloom . Whether she was really that happy just because she had seen Shen Jing, only Heaven knew .

“Mo Wen, let’s go down for breakfast . ” Shen Jing rolled her eyes at Gu Jingman, not bothering with her . She held Mo Wen’s arm tightly, showing off her affection for him . Gu Jingman proclaimed herself as their elder sister all the time, but Shen Jing had never acknowledged it .
“Let’s go . I’ll come too . It’s my treat . ” Gu Jingman walked over with a smile, taking Mo Wen’s other arm .
Shen Jing glared at Gu Jingman . Wearing a glum expression, she didn’t say a word .
“My elder sister is now very powerful . She no longer needs my help . After breakfast, us two can go sightseeing to Mount Fuji,” Mo Wen said to Shen Jing with a smile .
“Who said that? Who says I don’t need your help anymore?” Gu Jingman’s eyes widened instantly . She glared at Mo Wen as though she was looking at her enemy .
“Didn’t you just say that you are more powerful than me? Why would you still need my help?” Mo Wen asked, feeling wronged .
“Really?” Mo Wen’s words had transformed Shen Jing’s mood . “Later, I will book flight tickets . We can reach Mount Fuji today!”
Gu Jingman held onto Mo Wen’s arm . “Aiya, I was kidding just now . Why so serious? Of course, you are still incredible . It is so rare for you to promise me something, you will do it, won’t you?” She was obviously not letting him go .
“You are still more incredible,” Mo Wen said . He was not swayed by Gu Jingman’s words .
“You’re so petty . ” Gu Jingman rolled her eyes at Mo Wen . Then, she walked towards Shen Jing . Holding onto Shen Jing, Gu Jingman coaxed, “Sister Jing’er, stay for a few more days . When I went shopping yesterday, I saw a decent fur coat . If you stay, I will get it for you . ”
“I will follow what Mo Wen says,” Shen Jing said hesitantly, not quite able to bring herself to refuse Gu Jingman .
“Relax, Mo Wen listens to me . Could you stay? It’s only for a few days . ” Then, without waiting for him to speak, she directly glared at Mo Wen . “You heartless thing . You know that my power cannot be exposed, otherwise, trouble will come finding me . What? Could it be that you wish to see my life in danger?”
“In the future, be gentler when you see me,” he replied . “I have done you such a huge favor . I haven’t even asked for anything from you . ”
“Conceited man!” Gu Jingman softly snorted .
For the next two days, they waited in the hotel for the Yamaguchi-gumi to arrange for an underground fight . Mo Wen used the free time to find out about his soul power after its metamorphosis . As for Gu Jingman, she went shopping with Shen Jing every day . It had only been two days and their relationship had improved greatly . At the very least, Shen Jing was no longer resentful towards Gu Jingman .
The three of them lived their lives peacefully . However, Kagoshima was not as calm as it appeared to be .
On a barren mountain around fifty miles from the city, there were a few people wearing ancient black swallowtail tuxedos . They stood on the top of the mountain . Their bodies emanated an aura of nobility . They all seemed to be distinguished gentlemen .
Four of the people were middle-aged men . They were handsome, with impressive characters . Even though their appearances were different, they shared a vital trait: they were filled with evil Qi . However, this evil Qi didn’t reduce their appeal; instead, it made them charming . They were definitely ladies’ men .
As well as these four people, there was also a youth . His facial expression was very cold . He wore a black suit . It was the stern youth with Fallen Angel bloodline from before .
“Masri, you have one more chance . If you do not tell us the truth, don’t blame us for being rough . ” A middle-aged man looked at the stern youth with a gloomy face . His body slightly emanated a very terrifying aura . It was enough to cause the stern youth called Masri to tremble .
“Lord Marquis, I have not lied . Merle was indeed abducted by a mysterious man . He was very powerful and adept in concealment techniques . I also could not chase after him . I don’t even know what he looks like . ” Masri smiled bitterly .
He truly did not know much . If he did, he would have used all of his resources to find the person who had abducted Merle . The person responsible was impossible to track down . Even the secret techniques of the Fallen Angel clan that he had practiced could not locate him .
What he had never expected was that Merle had actually attracted four Marquises from the Blood Kindred! These ancient, hidden strong men had been alive for hundreds of years . Four of them had actually appeared at the same time, for the sake of the Divine Blood .
