Monster Girl Development Master.

Lady Leah was somewhat tempted; her guilt towards Johnson had already made her less extreme.

But Zhuang Sen spoke first: "One-tenth, and all those attackers must die."

One percent means the War Church would have to pay out of its own pocket to help Johnson sell his goods, and all the attackers would have to die. It's like selling off the last heir. Even Gorbachev wouldn't dare agree to such a condition.

Charles's throat tightened, and he said with difficulty, "Niels, is it really impossible to talk?"

Zhuang Sen shook his head: "I can spare them for now, but they will all die eventually."

The resolute tone made Charles feel bitter. His already gloomy face scrunched up and swayed with a stiff twitch of his neck.

"As you wish, Zhuang Sen is divinely chosen."

Zhuang Sen looked at Charles, his desire to eliminate him completely rising—this boy is so tolerant, he must not be allowed to live!

Chapter 100: The Angel Without Rank, Awakening Three Times

Inside the exquisite, transparent glass bottle, a golden liquid, as radiant as sunlight, tinted the morning light, casting a sublime and sacred glow into Zhuang Sen's dark eyes, inspiring a sense of awe and reverence.

Lady Leah and Johnson ultimately let Charles go, but Johnson only spared him temporarily. With his third awakening approaching, he needed to keep a low profile for a while, and once he was done, he could unleash his killing spree.

The golden potion in his hand was the very potion Lady Lia had concocted for the third awakening of the Unranked Angel, a process that took her three days and three nights. Indeed, Lady Lia's potion-making skills hadn't deteriorated; she succeeded on her first try.

Zhuang Sen uncorked the bottle, and a scent like a mountain breeze under the warm summer sun filled the air, which eased the tension among Lady Lia, Dantalian, and the others who had gathered to witness Zhuang Sen's advancement. Although they all believed that Zhuang Sen wouldn't lie, they couldn't help but worry about him, after all, achieving three awakenings in less than four months was unprecedented.

Zhuang Sen shook the potion in his hand slightly, then swallowed the golden sunlight that surged like ocean waves.

A pleasant warmth then emerged, and Zhuang Sen felt as if he were soaking in a hot spring, his whole body warm and comfortable. Moreover, he could clearly feel his body undergoing significant changes, becoming stronger, more resilient, and more agile. His previously childlike angel wings could now completely envelop his entire body... At the same time, new abilities and brand-new prompts appeared.

[The bloodline of the rankless angel has been developed to the middle level, and the Complete Book of Angels has been obtained*1]

The bloodline of the rankless angel has matured. After developing the bloodline to 100%, it can be evolved into the bloodline of other angel species by consuming items.

[The bloodline of the Angel without rank has matured, and its core abilities have been identified. These core abilities are permanently retained and can still be used after switching bloodlines.]

The three system notifications were more explosive than the last, and Zhuang Sen became so engrossed in the system panel, checking the new changes, that he didn't even notice the shift in the gazes of the onlookers.

Because of his wings, his shirt was torn, revealing his muscular upper body. But what was even more attractive was his milky white and smooth skin, which came from his angelic bloodline. His skin even had individual holy lights shimmering on it, making him look holy and innocent.

—It makes one want to defile it.

Mira closed the book she hadn't even turned a page of, her scarlet eyes greedily licking at Zhuang Sen's exposed skin; Lydia stood behind Lady Lia, the headless knight panting heavily beneath his helmet, needing no breath; Ange stood beside the most tolerant Nia, while Harpy, who loved shimmering shadows, drooled over the glowing Zhuang Sen; Nia proudly puffed out her chest and held her head high, happy that her man was so popular; Hannah unconsciously moved closer to Zhuang Sen's light, her sun-loving nature instinctively drawing her towards it; however, the sunflower yearning for light was bound by a huge demonic shadow, and Dantalian, arriving late but arriving early, dribbled past her and took down Zhuang Sen first.

Lady Lia watched the women displaying their unique talents, and her excited mood suddenly turned into a bit of irritation. She clenched her handkerchief, opened her mouth but didn't know what to say, and could only watch with a sullen expression as Zhuang Sen's head was pressed into Dantalian's increasingly broad chest as she grew larger.

"Congratulations, Zhuang Sen."

Dantalian hugged Zhuang Sen with delight, feeling the faint warmth emanating from him. Her voice grew softer and sweeter, as if she wanted to wrap Zhuang Sen in honey.

Zhuang Sen savored the moment before pulling his head out of the valley: "Thank you, but you and Nia will be here soon too. Hopefully, the materials you need then won't be as troublesome as they were this time."

"Then darling, you should try a little harder~" Nia chuckled and hugged Zhuang Sen's thigh, saying ambiguously, "Give him a little more, and he'll reach the third awakening faster, right?"

“Lady Nia is absolutely right,” Mira said calmly, adopting the demeanor of a learned scholar. “As long as Lord Johnson provides us with more of his essence, we will naturally become stronger.”

Anjie chimed in, "Everyone's right! So, I recently got my hands on a batch of really useful special potions. Want to try them out tonight, brother?"

Lydia shifted her foot, the clanging of her plate armor making a loud noise, causing her to quickly regain her composed and solemn posture. The female knight lacked Ange's thick skin and dared not attack Zhuang Sen, the young master, let alone in front of Lady Liya. However, the burning gaze emanating from beneath her helmet was so obvious that it could not be ignored.

Even Hana, who didn't quite understand what the "sisters" were saying, moved closer to Zhuang Sen and cast timid, expectant glances at him.

Seeing his wives surrounding him from all sides like wolves and tigers, Zhuang Sen could only busy himself with kissing, hugging, and lifting them high, once again turning into a human dump truck, fully loaded.

Then, they finally got down to business.

During this time, Zhuang Sen and his group weren't idle. For example, Dantalian took over some of the high-level affairs of the Church of Vengeance, Nia was researching her [Dwarven Runes], Scholar Mira went to draw blood from Zhuang Sen's wives every day, Hana cleared a small plot of land in the manor to try to supply Zhuang Sen with fresh fruit every day, and Ange was in charge of turning the anti-Zhuang Sen alliance into Zhuang Sen's dogs... I mean, Zhuang Sen's support group.

"So, Anjie, things aren't going well on your end?"

Using Dantalian, who was holding his right arm, as cover, Zhuang Sen secretly pinched Nia's pert buttocks, which he was holding. The bouncy feel was really great.

Anjie pouted helplessly: "It was going very smoothly at first. They even handed over a lot of benefits as a promise. I didn't expect that after many bastards went back to their own territories, they would just pretend to be dead."

At this point, Anjie was also very angry. It wasn't that she hadn't made mistakes before, but to mistake someone seven or eight times in a row was a bit too embarrassing.

Zhuang Sen was also somewhat surprised, though he did acknowledge An Jie's abilities: "So what do you plan to do? Kill them?"

Although Zhuang Sen no longer needs to target his own brothers and sisters, having completed his third awakening, his position as heir is unshakeable. Killing them would be less advantageous than directly killing Count Cross, that cheap old man. But occasionally targeting them can be seen as staying true to his original intentions.

Anjie shook her head: "That's not necessary. What I mean is, how about we go see what's wrong with those guys? I've already planned the route. With our physical condition, we can finish it in two days at most, and the return trip will only take half a day."

"Two and a half days is indeed not a long time..."

Zhuang Sen pondered whether he should go with An Jie to see those abnormal "traitors" and find out the reason.

"Anyway, Zhuang Sen, you've already completed three awakenings. There's no one stronger than you in the entire Leon Territory. Even if there's a trap, it just saves us the trouble of investigating."

"Hmm..." Zhuang Sen was somewhat tempted.

"It's really good, and it also allows us to showcase Lord Zhuang Sen's strength after his third awakening. The advantages far outweigh the disadvantages."

Mira spoke slowly and deliberately, drawing a questioning look from Ange. Mira was actually speaking up for her? Something was definitely wrong!

Sure enough, Mira then added, "But it's too dangerous for Lord Zhuang Sen and Ange to go alone. I'll go with them too."

安洁：？

Get out of here!

Don't disturb my time with Zhuang Sen! You stinky bat!

Despite her inner rage, Ange said sweetly, "Miss Mira, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to be out and about during the day?"

Mira laughed triumphantly, transformed into a little bat, and flew to Zhuang Sen's collar: "During the day, I can hide under Zhuang Sen's clothes like this, so I don't have to worry about the sunlight, and I can even help Zhuang Sen pass the time!"

Anjie had no way to refute it and gritted her teeth.

Most of the others watched the two's open and covert struggle and shook their heads slightly, revealing helpless smiles, as if looking at two silly children. Only Lady Lia, who couldn't fit into the circle, felt increasingly marginalized.

Finally, Zhuang Sen made a decision: "Okay, let's do it this way."

The author says:

Author's Note: 100 chapters! Hooray! Time to move the plot forward, a little more eroticism later. And as usual, I'm asking for monthly votes, please help this kid out, waaaaah!

Chapter 101: Mira Holmes

With a fluffy little bat tucked in his arms, Zhuang Sen rode his new warhorse—the Nine Dragons Horse still hadn't survived—side by side with An Jie, as they entered the forest.

Although many people saw through Anjie's little plan, apart from the jealous Miss Mira, the others didn't necessarily want to follow. Mainly, they all had important work to do, and they didn't want to become mere decorative figures who held Zhuang Sen back—decorative figures weren't qualified to share the essence that could enhance their strength.

As I said before, Zhuang Sen is only fit for the strong!

Zhuang Sen didn't think that much about it, because he fucked them all the same way!

Which bloodline should I specialize in next?

He looked at the system panel in front of him and muttered to himself. Considering that he already had a level 3 bloodline that was about to reach the maximum level, he would definitely prioritize choosing a level 4 bloodline next. He currently only had two level 4 bloodlines: the Tall Dwarf that Nia dropped for him, and the Shadow Lizard that he got during Dantalian's second awakening.

The tall and short people have already experienced it firsthand, so I won't say more. It's basically a fully enhanced version of Nia, plus the Dantalian Special Attack—a cute little boy!

Next is the Shadow Lizard. As the name suggests, he's a lizardman. While his monster girl bloodline certainly wouldn't turn Zhuang Sen into a giant lizard, he doesn't really like lizards... Dragons, on the other hand, are fine. However, considering the team's overall versatility and diversity, the Shadow Lizard is definitely a better priority than the Tall-Dwarf.

However, the top priority should still be to raise the bloodline of the rankless angel to 100% and then evolve it into a higher-ranking angel. Zhuang Sen has already read a bit of the "Complete Book of Angels." The rankless angel has many evolutionary options, after all, it is the origin of all angels. However, the items Zhuang Sen has can only support him to evolve in two directions for the time being.

The [Lower-Rank Angel], which consumes [Holy Scale Fruit] and [Angel's Fry], and the [Scribe Angel], which consumes [Encyclopedia of Angels], are both level four Holy bloodlines, each with its own unique characteristics. But rather than considering which angel to choose, perhaps we should now focus on how to raise our bloodline to 100%.

We can't rely solely on driving silver... right? Probably.

Feeling somewhat guilty, Zhuang Sen began to focus on making the journey.

……

In the evening, they arrived at their first destination: Madwood Manor.

This place belongs to Tam Leon, who awakened the Shadowraven bloodline. He's the same guy who was single-handedly killed by Dantalian, a powerful general who's even ahead of Johnson in the succession order, and is considered one of the most prestigious of Leon's sons.

According to Anjie, he actually surrendered voluntarily, saying he was impressed by Zhuang Sen's feat of killing the War Church and was willing to admit that Zhuang Sen was stronger than him. However, after returning to Madwood Manor, he stopped replying to letters and did nothing, acting as if he were dead. But how could he be dead? Surely the War Church couldn't have assassinated him too?

That's why Ange felt she had been tricked by this guy, and she was very angry. How could she have been fooled by such a fool?! That's also why the first stop was here. Of all the traitors, what Ange most wanted to know was whether Tam had actually lied to her.

Of course, it doesn't matter whether he's a real traitor or a fake one. If Zhuang Sen comes in person, they won't be able to get through as easily as before. They'll have to bleed a lot to prove An Jie's usefulness!

Although Ange never acted like a prisoner, she was very clear about her position and wanted to break free from it to become Zhuang Sen's true ally—she felt that Artemisia alone was not enough.

As they approached the manor gate, Ange leaned close to Zhuang Sen and said sweetly, "Brother~ should we go straight in, or should we have Tam come out to greet us?"

"Let's go inside, don't waste time." Zhuang Sen was used to An Jie calling him "brother." "Speaking of which, are we going to sleep outdoors tonight?"

"Hmm, if you don't want to, brother, we can go to the next manor to rest. There's another little sister there, and maybe... ouch."

Zhuang Sen withdrew his right hand from An Jie's head: "What are you thinking about all day? Do you think I'm some kind of self-propelled estrus machine that's always thinking about Cao Pi?"

Ange chuckled, spurred her horse past Zhuang Sen, and arrived at the gate. Holding up a badge, she shouted at the guards on the low wall of the manor, "I am Ange Leon, here to visit Tam. Open the gate!"

The guards clearly recognized the notorious shrew among the Sons of Leon, especially since Ange had produced her identification. Immediately, someone opened the heavy door, and several guards rushed out from behind it to greet Ange, who had already met up with Zhuang Sen: "Your Excellency Ange, please come in. I have already sent someone to inform Lord Tam, but he has not left his room for several days. I don't know if he will be able to see you."

Although Ange's main concern was Zhuang Sen, she didn't completely let her guard down and immediately caught the key point: "Has Tam not gone out since he came back?"

The guard shook his head: "The morning after the lord returned, he talked to us about future developments, but he didn't come out for dinner. However, he did give an order that we shouldn't send him food for the next few days."

Anjie and Zhuang Sen exchanged a glance, both sensing the oddity in the situation. Those with certain bloodlines are indeed more resistant to hunger than ordinary people, but that doesn't mean they can completely avoid eating—except for those with special bloodlines—and there's no need to. Why deprive your mouth and stomach?

There's definitely something wrong here, and it's probably not a small problem.

Anjie lost her flirtatious mood and frowned slightly, her eyebrows furrowing like a delicate human's: "I understand, I'll go check—you guys just keep watch."

"Yes, my lord."

The guards hesitated for a moment but did not stop Ange. Logically, without Tam's orders, they were supposed to prevent outsiders from entering the main building, but Tam hadn't made a move for several days, making them very anxious. They dared not go to check themselves, and now that someone with sufficient authority had finally arrived, they naturally hoped Ange could help.

So, Zhuang Sen and his two companions sped all the way to the main building of the Madwood Manor. Some more well-equipped guards were scattered here, but they did not stop Zhuang Sen and his group when they saw them coming. They obviously had the same idea as the guards at the gate, probably because the people sent by the guards at the gate had given them the information.

However, a messenger was sent to report that Tamm had still not appeared...

Anjie and Zhuang Sen both sensed something was amiss, but the main building itself didn't seem to have anything wrong with it.

Just then, because the sunlight hadn't completely disappeared, Mira, who had been hiding under Zhuang Sen's clothes somewhat listlessly, suddenly stirred. She gently flapped her wings against Zhuang Sen's chest, indicating that she had something to say. Although she could speak directly, there were outsiders present, and flying out to whisper in his ear while the sunlight was still there was something else.

Upon noticing this, Zhuang Sen was the first to enter the main building's lobby. In the instant the sunlight was blocked, Mira immediately flew out and whispered in Zhuang Sen's ear: "There's a strong, mixed smell of blood. It feels like dozens of animals, including deer, cows, wild boars, and people, have died here."
