The Hehuan Sect cultivates alchemy; my senior sister helps me refine alchemy throughout the world.

Shen Yifei was taken aback by Yun Zhonghe's question. "Uncle He, I was drunk like a log last night. I really didn't do anything. Neither Hongxiu nor I took off our clothes."

Yun Zhonghe held his teacup, squinted at him for a long time, looking at him as if he were some kind of monster, making Shen Yifei feel very uncomfortable.

"Uncle He, please don't look at me like that, I really didn't do anything..."

"Hmm, I can see that. You didn't do anything," Yun Zhonghe put down his teacup. "That girl Hongxiu has a special constitution."

"Special physique?" Apart from being extremely wild, Shen Yifei couldn't see anything special about Hongxiu.

Yun Zhonghe chuckled twice. "Kid, your father told me something back then. The Demon Clan royal family has a secret: every Demon King has had a maid with a special physique by his side. People with this physique don't have very high cultivation levels, but they have extremely strong vitality and a very special ability. Their bodies can be used to reshape their bloodlines."

Shen Yifei was stunned. "Reconstructing bloodlines? Uncle He, what do you mean?"

"That is to say, if she is willing, she can use her own body to help others rebuild their foundation. If a member of the Demon Royal Family is seriously injured and his bloodline is broken, as long as a maid like her offers her blood essence, his bloodline can be rebuilt and he can be restored to his original state."

"Huh?? Isn't this just using Sister Hongxiu as a regeneration elixir?"

Yun Zhonghe nodded. "You could say that. She was your mother's personal maid, and also a bloodline maid specially prepared for your mother. However, your mother never used her, which benefited you instead."

"You think I'm getting off easy?" Shen Yifei pointed to himself. "I wasn't injured, why would she need to rebuild my bloodline?"

"Silly boy." Yun Zhonghe rolled his eyes at him. "What are you now? A human-demon hybrid. Human and demon bloodlines are fighting each other within you. Although I don't know what method you used, there are no problems now. But one day you won't be able to suppress the demonic energy within you. Something terrible will definitely happen! If you can absorb that girl Hongxiu's essence blood, your demonic royal bloodline will be fully activated, and then..."

Yun Zhonghe didn't finish speaking; he picked up his teacup and took another sip.

Shen Yifei's heart raced. "Uncle He, you mean... Sister Hongxiu can help me fully awaken my demon bloodline?"

"It's not just about awakening," Yun Zhonghe put down his teacup and said seriously, "Your mother's demon royal bloodline has been diluted by half by the time it reached you. If you want to restore your pure royal bloodline, you either need to go to the demon territory and find those ancient monsters who have been around for ten thousand years to help you with your blood transfusion, or... use Hongxiu's essence blood."

Shen Yifei shook his head. "Wouldn't that harm Sister Hongxiu? I definitely won't use it, even if it kills me."

"Silly child, what are you thinking? Hongxiu's essence blood was originally in her demonic root, but now that the demonic root is gone, it's scattered throughout her body. There's only one way to extract it."

"What method?"

"Kid, if you don't tell me now, you'll get off easy. You two go to your bridal chamber, and you can slowly absorb it. Not only will it not harm Hongxiu, but it will also benefit her."

"Uncle He, isn't what you're talking about just dual cultivation?"

Seeing his expression, Yun Zhonghe said, "What? You don't want to? Although Hongxiu is much older than you, she's still considered a young girl in the Demon Clan. She's beautiful and has a great figure; she's more than a match for you."

"Uncle He, that's not what I meant. Sister Hongxiu has been with my mother for so many years, if I were to treat her... wouldn't that be..."

"What is that?" Yun Zhonghe glared. "If your mother knew you had taken Hongxiu in, she would be overjoyed. That girl Hongxiu has been waiting for you to appear."

"Wait for me?" Shen Yifei felt like he was still dreaming from last night.

Yun Zhonghe sighed. "Your mother not only protected you very well, but she also paved the way for you in advance. When she was pregnant with you, she told Hongxiu that if this child survived, she would let her live with you. You understand what your mother meant, right?"

Shen Yifei felt like his brain wasn't working properly.

Hongxiu is her mother's maid. She has a special constitution and can help him activate the bloodline of the demon royal family. All of this was arranged by her mother long ago.

"Uncle He, you're not joking, are you?"

Yun Zhonghe patted Shen Yifei on the shoulder, "Kid, I can tell at a glance what Hongxiu thinks of you. If you don't have feelings for her, you should make it clear as soon as possible, so as not to waste her time. If you do have feelings for her... hehe."

After hearing Yun Zhonghe's words, Shen Yifei felt a mix of emotions.

He paused for a moment before asking, "Uncle He, does Sister Hongxiu know about this?"

"I know." Yun Zhonghe sat back in his chair. "Your mother told her that she had been cultivating desperately all these years. Although her demonic root was extracted and her foundation was ruined, she was also cultivating some unorthodox techniques, hoping to be able to help when you needed them."

Shen Yifei felt a pang of sorrow in his heart.

"Uncle He, what will happen to her if I don't use her blood essence to activate her bloodline?"

Yun Zhonghe glanced at him, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "She will be fine. She will live on and wait for you until the day you need her, or until the day she dies of old age. Although demons have long lifespans, without their demonic roots, they won't live past two hundred years."

Two hundred years.

For cultivators, it's just a blink of an eye. But for someone who has been waiting, those long years are agonizing, every single second.

Shen Yifei no longer hesitated, "Uncle He, when I return from the Dragon Palace, I will take Sister Hongxiu with me."

"Alright." Yun Zhonghe patted his shoulder and didn't continue the topic. "The method of using the Water-Repelling Pearl is very simple. Wearing it allows you to breathe and move freely underwater. The Dragon Palace is 20,000 meters underwater. Without the Water-Repelling Pearl, you wouldn't even last ten breaths. Also, the Dragon Clan isn't a bad person. If you can build a relationship with them, it will be beneficial for you in your future battles against Lu Ya and the Immortal Punishment."

Shen Yifei nodded and stored the Water-Repelling Pearl in the Myriad Things Cauldron. "Uncle He, that dragon woman was also at the auction yesterday, trying to snatch this sword from me. Could she have some other motive?"

"I don't know their purpose. I auctioned this sword on short notice to test you. It's indeed strange that the Dragon Clan is interested in your father's sword. But you don't need to worry about that now. The fewer people who know you're Shen Changtian's son, the better!"

Shen Yifei nodded, then bowed deeply to Yun Zhonghe, "Uncle He, I'm going to the Dragon Palace now. Please take care."

"You brat, just like your father, always bowing." Yun Zhonghe chuckled and scolded, but his eyes were a little red. "Let's go, let's go. I'll tell Hongxiu. Be careful on your way."

Shen Yifei didn't say anything more, turned around and left Zuixianlou.

He had intended to say goodbye to Hongxiu, but then he thought he should wait until he returned from the Dragon Palace.

In the future, I must treat her well, after all, she is the person my mother left me.

After leaving the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, Shen Yifei flew towards the East China Sea.

As soon as he left Yong'an City, several people followed behind him.
