If Lijuan suddenly acting warmly towards him wasn't enough to make him feel suspicious, her words were more than enough to make Yang Shen understand that something was definitely fishy.
"You want to teach me a movement based Battle Skill?"
As Lijuan nodded her head, Yang Shen smirked and asked, "What do you want from me in return?"
"In return? I don't need anything in return, Master."
Narrowing his eyes, Yang Shen despite not knowing what the woman was planning nodded his head and said, "I appreciate your intentions, but I don't plan on learning any weak Battle Skills."
"Weak Battle Skills? Master doesn't need to worry, what I want to teach you is one of the supreme Battle Skills of my Heaven Devouring Race."
Putting aside the fact that Lijuan suddenly wanted to teach a Battle Skill which belonged to her race to him, the fact that she wasn't using 'this great one' was more than enough to let Yang Shen know that she was definitely planning something.
However, so what?
He didn't really fear that Lijuan would hurt him due to the Master-Servant pact he had with her, and wasn't afraid of being duped either due to the presence of the Lecherous Cultivation System.
Therefore he smiled and said, "Fine. Give it to me."
"I wish I could, Master. But to learn the Battle Skill, you'll have to possess the Bloodline of my Heaven Devouring Snake Race."
Not showing any change in expression since he expected Lijuan to do or say something like this, Yang Shen instead confirmed with the system if his bloodline could be changed multiple times.
Though the answer was short and didn't give much details, it was enough for Yang Shen to know that with the System he could change his bloodline as many times as possible.
Still, that didn't mean that he would change his bloodline on a whim.
"I don't want to change my bloodline into a weak o..."
"Humph! Weak? Forget about Saints, even Empy…"
Looking towards Lijuan who interrupted him but didn't even finish her sentence, Yang Shen asked, "What's wrong? You were saying something Emp…."
"Shhhh!!!"
Hastily silencing Yang Shen, Lijuan softly said, "Some words cannot be casually spoken."'
Showing a weird look on his face, Yang Shen after pondering for a while decided to agree and change his bloodline.
After all, it didn't seem like a race with the name Heaven Devouring Snake could possess a weak Bloodline.
Therefore, he nodded his head and said, "Okay. Give me the Heaven Devouring Snake Race's bloodline."
As for the topic which Lijuan started talking about before suddenly stopping, Yang Shen didn't plan on continuing it due to how grave her expression was when she warned him to not talk anymore about it.
"Ah… Okay."
Recovering from the slight shock she received because she wasn't prepared for Yang Shen accepting her words so easily, Lijuan in front of the young man's eyes slit her palm.
Summoning a small jade bowl out of her spatial storage, Lijuan squeezed her fist and caused a few drops of dazzling black blood to enter it.
Normally, black blood was held synonymous with corrupted or poisoned blood among humans who possessed red blood, but looking towards the few shiny black drops inside the bowl, Yang Shen could sense a brimming vitality and terrifying pressure which let him know that it was something which human blood would never be able to compare with.
At the same time, the system did its job by revealing the information related to the black blood.
[Heaven Devouring Snake Blood
Consuming this will allow anyone to change their Bloodline to that of the Heaven Devouring Snake. The change in Bloodline won't drastically affect the physical body's appearance.
Remarks: It costs 2,500,000 Points to purchase this Bloodline from the system's shop.]
Hiding the shock he felt from learning how much it would cost him to purchase these few drops of blood from the system, Yang Shen stretched his hand and took the bowl from Lijuan's hands.
Swallowing the few drops of pitch black blood immediately which travelled down his throat without any trouble, Yang Shen soon turned perplexed because he couldn't sense anything he was ready to experience take place.
Where was the gut wrenching pain?
Why wasn't his own blood putting a resistance in front of the Heaven Devouring Snake's blood?
How come nothing special was happening at all?
Staring blankly at his arms as he felt the black blood which had entered his body devour his red blood and produce more black blood in return, in less than a few minutes after he consumed the Heaven Devouring Snake's blood Yang Shen found that his bloodline had been completely changed.
Just like that.
Well, at least after his entire blood had turned black, Yang Shen could start sensing the changes taking place to his body.
Hungry.
Other than each and every one of Yang Shen's cells feeling as if they had been reborn and were overflowing with energy, every single one of them was screaming from hunger.
This… Am I turning into a glutton as well?
Grabbing onto his rumbling stomach which felt like a black hole that was capable of consuming everything regardless of how huge the quantity was, Yang Shen summoned his status.

Sighing in relief after noticing that the XP required for him to level up hadn't increased like he was scared it would, Yang Shen focussed on his new bloodline to find out the details about it.
