"I want her alive," Shen Yi's voice echoed like an empty valley, icy and suffocating.
Only boiling, living blood could alleviate the torment of the anomaly...
"Yes! I will find a way to make her awaken as soon as possible," the blood servant placed her hand over her left heart chamber, slightly leaning forward, her response filled with reverence.
Just then, a piercing eagle's cry came from outside. Shen Yi's sapphire-blue eyes displayed an unusual glint. The maids stationed by the door opened it, allowing a majestic male eagle to swoop inside and perch on the back of the master's outstretched hand, flapping its large wings.
This was a falcon, measuring fifty centimeters in length with a wingspan of a hundred centimeters. Its head to the front part was gray-black, while its underside was white. It had sharp and intelligent eyes, fierce and bold. This falcon was Shen Yi's close companion, named Windshadow.
"Windshadow, look, this is the master's new pet," the blood servant pointed to the girl in the cage.
Windshadow suddenly flew to the cage, its sharp eyes locked onto the girl inside, seemingly assessing this new pet on behalf of the master. It flapped its large wings, creating a breeze that made white mandragora petals dance inside the cage, landing on the girl's soft velvet-like hair.
Shen Yi raised his hand slightly, and Windshadow immediately returned to perch on his hand, neatly folding its wings.
Shen Yi was about to turn and leave when his ice-blue eyes suddenly returned to the girl's face. Her long and dense eyelashes were gently quivering, and her delicate fingers were subtly twitching.
She... was about to awaken!
Shen Yi's ice-blue eyes remained fixed on the girl in the cage. A faint, unfamiliar light glowed at the depths of his sea-like eyes. His thin, razor-sharp lips parted slightly, and he issued a cool command, "Take her to the Yaochi."
For a brief second, the blood servant's expression showed surprise, but she quickly complied, "Yes, Master!"
Yaochi was a natural hot spring, enriched with rare herbs and plants. In the past, when Dr. Caesar was still around, any test subjects who suffered severe injuries due to experiments were sent there for recuperation.
Now, Yaochi was the place where Shen Yi bathed every day.
In this castle, apart from Shen Yi and his beloved companion Windshadow, no one else enjoyed this grace.
Yet today, Shen Yi unexpectedly bestowed this grace upon the girl in the cage, his new pet.
The blood servant understood that the master wanted this new pet to recover before the full moon because... a living, pure body with boiling hot blood was the only antidote for the master's transformation-induced pain!
