1067 - I Became a Villainess and Was Pestered by Beautiful Girls

# Chapter 1067: Injuries Are Minor Issues Xue possesses the ability to transfer her primal bloodline power to others, as well as the power to devour the bloodline abilities of others. Her bloodline, known as the Primordial Bloodline, is rumored to be one of the most terrifying powers in the Void Realm. Despite being severely injured, she managed to bite two young beauties, granting them greater power, and safely returned the three of them to the port. "Thank you for saving our lives, elder," Fu Rong said respectfully, "May I know your name?" "Xue," the silver-haired witch replied, "just Xue." "Elder Xue..." Fu Rong nodded. The fact that she didn't mention her family probably meant she didn't want to reveal her true identity, and Fu Rong cautiously refrained from asking further. "Elder Xue," Xiang Jin spoke softly from the side, "could you do us a favor?" "Jin'er, don't speak out of turn!" Fu Rong admonished. "Do you want me to escort you out of the city?" the silver-haired witch inquired. During their time on the sea, she had already learned about their predicament. The group of women, who had no family support for various reasons, dared not leave the city with its "no fighting" rule. Without the protection of the port city, they were vulnerable to kidnapping and violence with no one to protect them. Still, staying offered no opportunities for family support, and they faced the predatory gaze of the city lord. Unable to leave yet unable to stay, their only option was to save up and hire protection, which the sisters had been striving towards. "Where do you want to go?" the silver-haired witch considered for a moment before asking. "The territories of the Gu or Shang families would be ideal," Fu Rong replied, "However, reaching either would require navigating the Sea of Death, a long journey..." "The Xue family!" Xiang Jin interjected, "I heard the Xue family is on this side of the sea!" "The Xue family?" The silver-haired witch raised an eyebrow. "That doesn't sound like a renowned family. Where did you hear about it?" "Um, there are many rumors about the Xue family," Fu Rong continued, encouraged by Xue's interest, "The family seems to have risen in the past decade, very mysterious, with a territory unknown to outsiders..." "They're said to help people like us!" Xiang Jin added. "The Xue family doesn't care about your birth or bloodline talent. If you meet their criteria and show excellence, you can join and even become a core member. However, some say that's a ruse, and they're really looking to exploit people for cruel bloodline techniques." "Is that so?" Xue nodded lightly. "Well, if you can contact someone from the Xue family, I wouldn't mind escorting you." ... In the Void Realm, the hierarchy of bloodlines is often more ruthless than the cultivation levels of the Nine Provinces Continent. For instance, after the sisters underwent even the lowest level of "bloodline enhancement" from Elder Xue, their power was greatly amplified. However, they were also heavily bound by restrictions, such as being unable to attack her, their "master." If the silver-haired witch wished, she could fully utilize her bloodline power, establishing numerous followers and potentially dominating the continent, unifying the Void Realm. This is the "correct" way to utilize the Primordial Bloodline. However, such ambitions would inevitably provoke retaliation from families with foresight, leading the Void Realm into a highest-level war. Historically, the arrival of the Primordial Bloodline has always been synonymous with "calamity." The sisters brought Elder Xue into a courtyard, where the inhabitants, upon seeing this silver-haired stranger, quickly retreated into their rooms in fear. "Apologies, elder. Everyone is a bit wary of strangers..." Fu Rong explained softly. "Those of us without family ties are grateful to be left undisturbed. Visitors usually don't have good intentions," Xiang Jin elaborated. Fu Rong stepped forward to explain a few things to her sisters, and only then did their doubtful gazes soften. After some time, she returned to the silver-haired witch, “There may be emissaries from the Xue family at the Void Chamber of Commerce. Someone has gone to inquire. Please, elder, rest for a moment... By the way, are your injuries serious?” “It's a minor issue,” Elder Xue replied coolly. In truth, her injuries were severe. The mysterious blood light had inflicted tremendous damage, leaving her barely alive. Her self-healing had slowed considerably. To heal such wounds, there were two options: seek rare healing treasures in the Void Realm or absorb a powerful new bloodline. Reflecting on it, the latter option seemed more feasible... Despite her injuries, her subconscious power integration and release had pushed her abilities to a new level. Previously at the peak of Nascent Soul, the dual power of her conscious form and Xue's had merged seamlessly, breaking through her limits to an indefinable realm. In terms of combat capability in her complete form, she was now equivalent to the strength of a "Seven Star Formation" composed of seven young heroines, enough to contend against mid-level Tribulation Transcenders. Even with only a fraction of her power left, survival in the Void Realm posed little issue. It was a pity about Xiao Zhu, meant to accompany her on the journey, but it had dozed off before entering the Void Realm, without any hint of waking... After half a day, the courtyard door opened again, and the woman who had left returned with a female cultivator dressed in simple robes, her silver hair and serene expression exuding an air of "detached mastery." Elder Xue raised her brow. The woman seemed to be imitating the “founder of the Xue family,” even her nonchalant expressive gestures seemed well-rehearsed. "So, you're the ones looking to join the Xue family?" the haughty woman cast a glance around and spoke with an air of condescension. "Isn't your bloodline too weak? Apart from these two, are the rest outcasts from their families?" She pointed at Fu Rong and Xiang Jin, the ones who had undergone bloodline upgrading. As for Elder Xue, whose high-level bloodline eluded even the strongest of the major families, she was simply overlooked by the woman. "On behalf of these two, our Xue family can accept your allegiance," the silver-haired woman declared. "However, those of you without the required bloodline level must sign a master-servant bloodline contract and pledge your loyalty." A master-servant contract is a formidable, binding bloodline agreement that almost equates to losing half of one’s dignity as a person. “Oh?” Elder Xue narrowed her eyes, asking, “And this master-servant contract, with whom should it be signed?” “Of course, with me,” the arrogant woman smirked, “after all, it's I who will save you from your plight.” “Save from what?” The silver-haired witch stood up, her voice turning icy. “I ask you, who in the Xue family gave you the authority to speak like this?”
