Chapter 789 - Abnormal Behavior (2/2)
Ouyang Lulu’s last sentence instantly shattered the depressive mood Tang Xiu had. He couldn’t help but laugh after hearing it. He took and drank his cup of tea, got up and then said, “Alright, let’s go see Profession Mo and Shanjenna then!”
10 minutes later, Tang Xiu met Mo Yi. The old man wore a white lab coat with his myopia glasses and was currently busying himself with tons of research instruments around him. Shanjenna, however, was sitting listlessly on a sofa near the door, drowning in drowsiness.
“Gimme a half-tube of your fresh blood again, Shanjenna. I’m probably heading in the right direction…” Mo Yi suddenly spoke without looking up.
Shanjenna’s face changed. She immediately jumped up from the sofa and angrily roared, “YOU WHAT? You’re a fucking asshole, Mo Yi! I heard those fucking words 20 times already. But what’s the result? Do tell me what result you get, huh? The blood of my Bloodkin is very precious and we’ll need a long time to recover every drop of blood we drop! But you… you, you… you’ve taken more than 20 half-tubes of my blood recently, bastard!”
Mo Yi frowned and turned around. Only as his eyes fell on Shanjenna did he realize that some people were calmly standing behind her smiling. It was Tang Xiu and Ouyang Lulu standing there without a word.
“Ah, you came, Tang Xiu!” Mo Yi was pleasantly surprised and put down his things before coming over.
Hearing that, Shanjenna similarly turned around to look towards the back. She immediately sprinted to the front of Tang Xiu when she saw him, wearing a wronged expression as she complained, “Please save me, Mr. Tang! This old thing has been treating me so badly! He has no skills whatsoever, not even producing an ounce of any drugs from his research, yet he forces me to pump out my blood every day. I will turn into a human if this keeps going.”
Tang Xiu couldn’t help but laugh and he gently patted her shoulder. He then took out a porcelain vase from his interspatial ring and spoke to Shanjenna while handing it over, “Alright, this is a medicinal pill I just concocted recently. Take it and you should benefit from it. Don’t rush to take it now, though. Wait until the evening break.”
“Great!”
Shanjenna was full of joy and excitedly fiddled with the porcelain vase. She couldn’t wait to immediately unplug the cork and pour the medicinal pills inside into her mouth.
Tang Xu then turned to look at Mo Yi and smilingly said, “Are you encountering some problems, Professor Mo?”
“Um, yeah!” Mo Yi forced a smile and replied, “The Bloodkin’s blood is kinda too active. I still can’t figure out a suitable substitute substance compatible with it!”
Tang Xiu thought it over and said, “Do you think it can be substituted by some herbs?”
Mo Yi looked dull for a moment before shaking his head. “I dunno. Even if there are any, I know nothing about medicinal herbs!”
Mulling it over for a while, Tang Xiu suddenly took out his mobile and dialed a cell number. After his call rang seven times, his call was picked up and an old, hoarse voice spoke, “Is there something you want, Tang Xiu?”
“Senior, I have something that I don’t know whether you’re interested in,” said Tang Xiu with a smile. “I’m kind of researching some medicine which I think will bring about a huge contribution to human life once it’s successful.”
“Not interested,” said Gui Jianchou. “Even if I do, I don’t have the time for it. Besides, I found interesting stuff myself and need some time to study it.”
“What interesting stuff, exactly?” asked Tang Xiu quickly.
Gui Jianchou was silent for a moment before he slowly replied, “Do you know that there are some other living beings other than humans and animals in this world?”
“I know some,” replied Tang Xiu.
“Do you really know some?” asked Gui Jianchou, surprised.
“I do know some,” answered Tang Xiu.
Gui Jianchou spoke again, “Alright, then I’ll tell you since you know some. I recently found some arm remains in Mist Source Island. That arm remains is kind of similar to human’s, but it’s covered with golden hair. After I did some analysis and diagnostics to measure the degree of its hardness and blood coagulation, I found something very unusual with this thing.”
“I think I know the arm remains you just obtained. It should be an arm from a half-beastman, a Demihuman. I think you should give up researching it and join my research, though,” said Tang Xiu. “It’s just that the subject of my research is kind of related to some strange breed of a race so to say.”
“Care to elaborate?” Gui Jianchou’s interest piqued and he inquired more. “I’ll agree to join you if it interests me.”
“Well, I have a friend here.” Tang Xiu glanced at Shanjenna and said with a pale smile, “She’s a member of Bloodkin, well known as vampires by ordinary people. My researchers here are currently researching medicine using her blood.”
“A VAMPIRE?” Gui Jianchou’s scream was heard from the cell phone.
