Chapter 310: An Honest Li Hao (III)

“It’s true!” Li Hao explained earnestly. “My blood has always had this kind of effect, I didn’t think much of it before. The director was injured when he killed Red Hair—I couldn’t bear to see him suffering, so I gave him a drop of blood. After he took it, the director said my blood is an ultimate treasure. That’s why he had me immediately come to White Moon City. He’s probably been in seclusion these days to prepare for it.”

“What a joke... how is that possible...”

“Milord, it’s fine if you don’t believe me.” The young man set his jaw with indignation and mustered up his courage. “If you do... you could create a small cut on yourself right now. You’ll know when I retrieve a drop of blood from myself.”

Yu Xiao frowned, but his emotions were rapidly climbing. That... couldn’t be true, could it? It was impossible!

His frown deepened before he nodded after a while. “Let’s give it a try!”

A small cut split open one of Yu Xiao’s fingertips and began oozing blood. Li Hao immediately scraped his fingernails down his arm and scratched a bloody mark; a drop of blood quickly seeped out. When the young man collected the blood, he infused it with significant sword energy. He quickly wrapped it with internal force and offered it to the man.

Yu Xiao frowned with disdain at the drop of blood. But... what if it was true? He maintained a firm grip on his disgust and swallowed the drop.

A violent wave of emotion reared in his heart.

The hell?! What was going on?? He actually felt a bit different—not just a little bit. The mark on his hand immediately healed and he could sense the blood strengthening his body. Some of his other injuries also spontaneously recovered.

Incredible!

How... how... is this possible?!

Shock and astonishment filled Yu Xiao’s eyes when he looked at Li Hao. This wasn’t possible! If this was, then Li Hao was the most precious human-shaped medicine! And this fool walked around telling people about it! Oh my word!

He was shellshocked by the depths of Li Hao’s idiocy. Even if this was true, it wasn’t a detail to be revealed to random people! The young fool had the most severe death wish that Yu Xiao had ever seen! He heavily suspected that Hou Xiaochen wanted to eat the kid, or was nurturing him as a human-shaped ingredient.

Was the Silver Moon Night Watcher director injured?

He probably... was. But no matter if true or not, could he resist this kind of temptation after experiencing the wonders of Li Hao’s blood?

A sudden impulse gripped Yu Xiao—he wanted to kill Li Hao on the spot and turn the young fool into a massive pill... No, no! Hou Xiaochen knows about him! And he knows that I’m meeting with Li Hao today! So I can’t do that. He’ll go crazy and kill me. If he can’t kill me, he’ll expose this and none of it will belong to me anymore!

This was an incredible supplement, more valuable than some of the ultimate treasures of legend. One drop of blood was sufficient to restore some of his youth! What about all of the blood in his body? Will it... help me set foot into Nova or even higher?

Yu Xiao’s mind was quickly dissolving into chaos. He was also dumbfounded by the depths of Li Hao’s idiocy and stupidity. How did the young idiot never consider that someone might want to kill him for this??

Oh my word, does Red Moon know about this? Is that why they want Li Hao? Does the blood of all of the eight families have this effect? No wonder Red Moon’s been hunting them... In that case, the organization’s strength is understandable.

Ying Hongyue... The next Ying Hongyue? Doesn’t whoever possess Li Hao become the next Ying Hongyue?

Yu Xiao considered so much—too much—in a split second. He wanted to kill, he wanted to kill the young man to silence him—no, he wanted to kill the young man for his blood and body! Everything about Li Hao’s physical body was an ultimate treasure!

Hou Xiaochen could not be allowed to profit from this, absolutely not. Once the director swallowed Li Hao’s blood to recover from his injuries, the end result would be terrifying. The young man’s blood was a supreme treasure even if the person in question wasn’t injured!

One drop of blood was more than the equivalent of a mysterious power stone. One had to know that this was just a drop of ordinary blood that they’d experimented on. Yu Xiao’s heart ached for the drops of heart blood that Li Hao had used in the ruins. Apparently no one had paid attention to them—damn, what a waste!

The man wanted to extract more blood, but that was what Hu Qingfeng wanted him to do so the blood could be studied. Once the latter discovered or realized something... the situation would turn dicey.

“Does your heart blood offer better effects?” Yu Xiao asked sternly.

“Definitely.” Li Hao nodded. “Just holding it in hand results in an effect.”

“Then... wait a few days to collect your heart blood. There’s no rush!” Yu Xiao couldn’t bring any bloodback with him now. Li Hao would give the heart blood to him if he asked the young fool, but taking heart blood would certainly result in abnormalities of behavior. The differences would be easily discovered.

“This is a very important matter,” Yu Xiao took a deep breath. “Don’t tell anyone else, it will affect your safety! On that matter, how can you tell anyone about it??”

“I haven’t,” Li Hao replied with a naive smile. “I told Director Hou because he was injured when he took action for me. I couldn’t bear to watch him suffer and vomit blood. And for milord... You are a genius from headquarters. They say that geniuses abound in the central region, so people like me might be found all over the place. Not to mention, I can’t lie to a central region superior! We’re all Night Watchers and the agency represents justice, so I’m not afraid!”

Fucking idiot! Yu Xiao cursed inwardly. I would eat you in a second if we were in the wild! He was absolutely not going to tell Hu Qingfeng about any of this!

Li Hao was also banking on Yu Xiao’s secrecy. How would he possibly tell someone else about what he’d just learned? If he did... Li Hao would call him daddy!

Granted, it was fine if he did say something. If Hu Qingfeng had similar thoughts, he’d want a taste himself. Li Hao would produce a drop of regular blood for him. Yu Xiao would then probably be beaten half to death for passing on false intelligence.

In this moment, Li Hao knew that the man in front of him had taken the bait. He would be tempted himself, if their roles were reversed.

If you can withstand the allure of an origin weapon and rejuvenating blood that is an ultimate treasure... then you are a saint and I’ve misjudged you. I will never make trouble for you so long as you don’t want my head. You’d be a shining example to the rest of the supernatural world!

But since Yu Xiao was planning otherwise, he had to accomplish everything before Hou Xiaochen emerged from seclusion. It wasn’t a matter of whether or not he could or should kill Li Hao, but that he had to! Hou Xiaochen’s impending re-emergence was the man’s greatest source of pressure.

As expected, Yu Xiao suddenly asked, “Do you know when Director Hou will be out?”

Li Hao shook his head, but immediately said, “Probably soon! Manager Yu said it’d be three days at most because there are a lot of things that need to be handled in the days to come. The director must exit closed door cultivation soon.

“When he does, I’ll be able to heal his wounds,” the young man chuckled merrily. “The Night Watchers will be even stronger than before. With you noble lords in attendance as well, we might be able to capture all of the three great organizations in one go!”

How naive! Yu Xiao sneered, urgency creeping into his heart. Three days!

Three days at most... He was very short on time, particularly as Hou Xiaochen might emerge from seclusion in less than three days.

“Sketch out the draft when you return tonight,” Yu Xiao commanded. “Have it on you at all times. I’ll come find you whenever I have time, you can give it to me then. Also, don’t let anyone know what we talked about today!”

“I won’t!” Li Hao nodded.

Yu Xiao thought for a moment and took out a mysterious power stone. He was loath to part with it, but he handed it to Li Hao nonetheless. “This is for you. You should know a bit about mysterious power stones—this is your reward!”

Overjoyed, Li Hao took the stone with clear agitation and disbelief. “Milord... is really giving this to me?” he asked cautiously.

“Of course!”

“My deepest thanks, sir!” Li Hao gasped with delight, then looked on admiringly. “Milord, how... did you... take this out? I see that Director Hao can do something similar...”

“It’s just through a storage ring!” Yu Xiao laughed carelessly. “They exist in some of the ancient ruins and the central region is also researching them. We’ve produced a batch and some spatial supernaturals are also manufacturing them! They’re a costly item, but not a big deal to us...”

He laughed again to see Li Hao flushed with yearning.

“Perform well. I might give you one next time if you accomplish another deed of merit!”

“Many thanks for your favor, sir!” Startled by the attention, Li Hao quickly offered profuse thanks.

“It’s just a small matter!” Yu Xiao laughed heartily and sipped his tea to quell his inner turmoil. “Do you live with Hao Lianchuan now?”

“Yes, we live in apartments across from each other.”

“And do you go to work and get off work together too?”

“We went to work together today, but I left alone. Director Hao needed to put in overtime as he has many duties, being a deputy director. Our accommodations aren’t far—the walk helps me better understand White Moon City. I’ve only just arrived and don’t know anything.”

“Ah, that’s a good thought!” Yu Xiao smiled. “Youngsters should be more independent!”

“You’re right, sir,” Li Hao agreed merrily. “I must learn to be more independent. My teacher took care of me when we were in Silver City and I followed his word in everything. I never thought about being independent...”

So he’s a good little boy! No wonder! Yu Xiao finally understood why Li Hao was so innocent. Yuan Shuo, oh Yuan Shuo, you’ve raised your disciple into utter trash. He’s a big baby! This must be what they mean by a momma’s boy.

No, he would be a teacher’s boy?

“Is your teacher good to you?”

“Very good!” Li Hao quickly nodded. “He treats me like his own son. Teacher could become a Summoner because...” he paused, then continued in a whisper, “partially because of me. Teacher said it many times that I can’t let anyone know, so don’t... don’t tell anyone, please. My teacher would be so angry at me if he finds out!”

Yu Xiao arched an eyebrow. So this was the case!
