Chapter 79 - Awaiting The Audience
After a few minutes long all the blood chains inside Ellis's body were drained allowing YuJu to withdraw his fangs from her neck and let go of her
Taking a step away he looked her up and down, noting the huge changes she had
'Just as I guessed, the limiter doesn't prevent the blood from changing at all, instead, it merely holds down the change temporarily'
He wasn't afraid her race would change because of the slight modification he did, sure her blood was now different but it was still human in the essence
'Somehow I feel it is hard to change one's race into anything else as long as only purification and limiter are used, perhaps that is so one could do what he needed until they wanted to use the evolution skill'
That would need further experimentation, checking her status took priority for now

'Improving blood is always the quickest way after all'
The huge rise in stats saved him a good amount of AP, this way he didn't have to spend too much time training her to balance them
'Her race didn't change, no new title, skill, or anything for that manner'
"Master, other than stats nothing changed?"
She asked noting this as well, she herself could feel the huge change and didn't understand why it wasn't showing in her status
"Because that's no how status works, after all just your resistance to general poison was enough to be a new trait, the reason it is not showing is the same reason you didnt get a speaking skill when you can speak or a walking skill when you learned to walk, just because you can do it doesn't mean it's a skill, skills are something the system gives you whether you know how to use them or not, if you do it assists you, other than that you could suddenly grow wings and fly and it still wouldn't affect your status"
"But if I grew wings wouldn't my race change?"
"...I was metaphorically speaking, then again you grew scales and are still human, so it really depends"
"On what?"
"The amount of change brought to the bloodline I would presume, now, lets get going"
He wanted to end the conversation before she asked any questions he was stumped to answer, what he already said was half assumptions half fact, the system wasn't that easy to understand and it took him years to get his bearings around it
"We will be taking our leave now Belinda, I hope you can be my assistant in future experiments as well"
He excused himself while hinting that he was coming back
"Why I would love to, please ask for me whenever you would like, I am never too busy for my forgotten friend"
Slithering them to the entrance of her huge hall she paused for a second after seeing them walking out, she wanted to stay quite and wait for his next visit but she couldnt hold herself and called out to him
"Forgotten one, may I ask you something?"
He paused and looked back at her, meaning she could
"That blessed blood strengthening skill you had used, would you ever consider bestowing others with it, say, a coy snake that fell in love with your esteemed self"
He was already smirking once she brought up the blood strengthening, knowing her greedy side would want nothing more than to experience it herself
"It is reserved for only my servants"
"Oh~ Well, I could serve you right here, right now"
She offered, licking her lips suggestively
"You need offer more than your body to be a servant of mine"
That was all he had to say, thus he turned his back to the lovely half woman and went through the mist along his two servants
"....How mysterious"
Her tongue flicked with the sway of her tail, eyes locked on her new interest's disappearing back
"Do you feel at all uncomfortable"
"No Master, in fact its quite pleasant, a little bit ticklish but pleasant"
She breathed in the pink mist on their way back with ease, unlike how she first went through it just a little while ago
"Then you should be at the level of being able to endure the Zarselos tribe's mid-level poison with ease, it was a lucky deal to get Belinda's poison to help push your resistance up a few notches"
As grateful as Ellis was to the snake woman's assistance she still didn't like the naked fellow, why would she be sauntering around naked in her own home like that, slithering on whoever came so lecherously
"We will take a bath then don some new clothes before going out, I don't think the old ones fit you anymore"
He said, eyes laying on her grown chest, it was already pushing at her old clothes before so it definitely wouldn't fit her now
Her eyes followed his and looked down on her naked self, realizing that she had been berating the woman for walking naked in her home when she herself barged into someone else's home naked
"...Yes Master"
The three quickly got out the mist and arrived back at the big room housing the blood bath, the walls behind them closed once they were out
YuJu walked up to the blood and put a finger in to take a taste
"Looks like a variant Gihu blood, there isn't anything too special about it but that is because she wasn't expecting guests"
The lack of great hospitality was ignored since they came without a notice
He put a foot in and followed with the other after feeling it to be good to the touch then sank down to his chest
Ellis looked distraught as she followed him into the bath but once she felt the warm blood against her skin she put on a relaxed expression instead
As for Anput, she just cannonballed into it without any reservations, paddling her way to the front of YuJu and rubbing her bloodied self against him, clearly asking to be washed
He smirked at her antics before running his hand along her back, letting the blood cascade down before rubbing her gently
Taking this as her cue to also start washing him Ellis moved toward his back and started her own methods of cleaning, as for asking for a sponge? She already learned the rule for that, if there is no sponge, your the sponge
With her skin tracing its way all over his back he felt a different sensation from the usual soft touch, it was scaly but not harsh, like a newly born snake's tender scales
"All of your skin has changed into a scaled structure even though it isn't too visible"
"Sorry about that Master"
"It doesn't bother me, just a little itch triggering"
This was miles away from the actual scales he felt from Belinda as she wrapped against him, though that woman knew how to hit the right spots without making him feel any discomfort at all
The nice bath continued on for quite a while, Anput never minded getting more rubs and YuJu was stalling for time for reasons only known to him, as for the healed Ellis she wanted nothing more than to drag this very needed relaxing bath as long as she could thus she spoke not a word lest she sparks it's end
Two entire hours passed until YuJu finally decided to stand up, letting the blood conveniently run down his skin without leaving a single smudge, a hot breath escaping his red lips
"We kept them waiting long enough, it's for us to show ourselves"
The two nodded at their master's words and followed him out of the bath, Anput went out and quickly came back with the receptionist snake following her at YuJu's orders
"Do you require anything, esteemed Sir"
She spoke without lifting her head, very much afraid if this person that her lady told to satisfy to every request
"Bring us new clothes"
The first request, she had to satisfy this, problem was....
"Sir, may you wait a while? We don't have anthropoid type cloths here, or rather, we don't own any clothes at all in the entirety of these three floors, so it will take a bit for us to make a few"
She was practically shaking as she explained, afraid she might get killed for this, after all the person before her was a vampire, and these guys killed for less
'Right, these idiots don't wear clothes, they are either nude or have some part of their body to naturally cover themselves'
Recalling this bunch was rather barbaric when it came to having some decency he forgo the notion of clothes and asked the shaking snake to leave while they put their old clothes back on
Just as he predicted Ellis's clothes looked like they will burst at any moment, her chest was practically screaming for release
"Put up with it for now, we will get something new once we get back down"
She nodded and tried not to think about it, it wasn't really painful but it bothered her that it stuck out so much
"Right, and keep your new scent hidden, I've noticed it is light but we don't want to trigger any accidents, you can retract it as you do your aura, speaking of your aura do let it loose when you hear Anput growl"
"Understood Master"
"Alright then, let's toy with these meatheads for a bit shall we"
An arrogant smile suffused his lips while he walked out the now heavily monitored building
