Chapter 591: Commencing Blood Refinement (2/2)

She glanced at the Soft Feather and Duna, but neither of them seemed to show concern either, making her worries feel misplaced.

”There's something wrong with all of you...” Lilith muttered softly.

Shortly after, Leon undressed his top and revealed his bare upper body, taut with well-defined muscles.

Lilith gasped.

She quickly covered her eyes with her hands in embarrassment, but she could not help but peek in between the gaps of her fingers.

Suddenly, Aria's face filled her vision before the person spoke, ”Oh? What do we have here? A naughty little peeker, eh?”

”If you are going to just look, just look. No need to hide your face, only to peek.” Aria added with a sly smile.

”Ahaha...” Lilith gave a forced laugh after being caught and called out, ”Maybe I will do just that...”

Soon, Aria turned to Leon and took the clothes from his hand, ”Let me hold onto these for you, Leon.”

”Alright.” Leon smiled warmly.

After he closed his eyes and reviewed the details of the Everlasting Blood Mantra in his mind, he reopened his eyes and hopped straight into the blood pool.

Plop!

The blood splashed upon his entry before Leon felt the scorching heat from the blood pool. The corrosiveness pricked his skin but failed to break his defense.

Within moments, Leon entered a meditative state of focus and concentrated on refining the blood.

”According to the Everlasting Blood Mantra, the word 'Everlasting' has two meanings. The first being that which is eternal; becoming undying through blood.”

Leon began musing in his mind, ”The second is to everlasting in battle, not knowing tire and exhaustion through blood.”

At the highest level of the Everlasting Blood Mantra, it is said that even if the body is destroyed, the person can still generate his entire body as long as a single drop of blood remained.

”If I practice the divine skill of the Everlasting Blood Mantra, I can absorb blood essence from my fallen enemies to replenish my stamina and strength, and continue fighting until I am the last one standing...”

As Leon began his blood refinement, Aria folded Leon's clothes before turning to Lilith, ”You know, I am quite surprised by your patience. I thought you would be urging us to reach your clan sooner rather than later.”

”I'm not very patient. It's just that I am not really in any position to rush you all when you are all nice enough to accompany me already,” Lilith smiled ruefully and added, ”I'm not that selfish, and I don't have the right to be when I was the one to leave home in the first place.”

”I see.” Aria uttered while studying Lilith's expression before she stated, ”Well, it seems that you have cheered up from the other matter at least.”

After Aria said this, Lilith subconsciously traced her ring and pendant with a smile, ”Yeah...”
