Against Heaven's Will

Chapter 280: New Master

"Wuying!" Xuefeng cried out in worry as he launched himself to the scene. "Emi, don't hurt her!"

"What do you mean 'don't hurt her'?" Emi questioned in annoyance. "I agreed to give my Bloodline to you yet one of your wives attacked me. How do you expect me to react?"

"She is not attacking you," Xuefeng explained as he slowly released Wuying from Emi's claw-like grip. "She is just influenced by her bloodthirst. It has been a while since she entered this state."

Wuying seemed completely out of control with her eyes blood red. She focused on Emi's wrist and no matter what he did, he could barely hold her on.

"Wuying, I know you can hear me. You are strong so fight your urges," Xuefeng muttered as he held her tightly. "Don't let it control you."

Her random acts of bloodthirst were supposed to be healed already yet they resurfaced again. He couldn't imagine how potent Emi's blood was to cause it.

"I want it…" Wuying muttered weakly as her body trembled and only grew in strength as she tried to push Xuefeng away. She was clearly losing her battle so Xuefeng didn't hesitate and cut his own wrist for her.

"Here, drink mine. It should help you," Xuefeng suggested but for the first time, Wuying wasn't even interested in his own blood.

"Why is she like this?" Emi questioned curiously as she calmed down from the initial confusion.

"It's because of her Blood Arts. I'm still not sure why but she felt a thirst for blood after absorbing a lot during her training. I thought we solved the issue but it seems like it was just dormant," Xuefeng replied as he restrained the thirsty Wuying. "Don't worry, she should calm down once you finish. Your Blood just seems too potent for her to resist."

"I see…" Emi muttered deep in thought. "Blood Arts do have many side effects but they are powerful. If she can master some of the high-end Arts, even I would need to be fearful of her. Only one drop of blood is needed to take full control of someone else's body."

She glanced at her cut wrist and added, "If she wanted to, she could paralyze me since my bloodstream is open. Thankfully, she doesn't see me as a threat else she would attack me to satisfy her bloodthirst."

Wu ignored the whole situation as she kept drinking from Emi's wrist until her body began to transform. Her back shone with light and a pair of black wings burst out from her back.

"Ah! So good!" Wu exclaimed as she suddenly pulled away, her lips covered in blood. "I feel so much power running through my veins."

"Of course, my Bloodline belongs to the top when it comes to strength," Emi commented proudly. "It will only become more powerful the more lifeforce you absorb. By taking on my Bloodline you are destined to walk on a path of slaughter and destruction."

"Did she also receive your variant? I hope I will be able to touch her," Xuefeng pointed out after recalling the important problem. "I don't want to turn her into a slave."

"Don't worry, it's not inherited," Emi assured as she healed her wrist with a single lick. "She received the pure Succubus Bloodline from me. Her future will be bright if she manages to control—"

Just as Emi spoke, her eyes widened at Wu who casually retracted her wings, turning herself back into a human.

"Did you just take control of your Bloodline so fast…?" Emi questioned speechlessly.

"Yeah, why? I was trying to eat my Human Bloodline so I disciplined it and forced it to behave," Wu explained casually. "Now they are both living in harmony."

"Succubus Bloodline is extremely potent and dominant… It will battle your other Bloodlines to become the primary Bloodline," Emi explained as she started as Wu curiously. "I was about to mention it when you already solved the problem… Do you maybe look for a Master?"

"I…" Wu was stunned by the offer but before she could say anything, Emi already decided for her.

"Alright then, I will take you with me and teach you," Emi announced as she gazed at Xuefeng who was still holding Wuying back. It didn't seem like she was getting better even after no blood could be seen.

"Let her go, I will feed her too," Emi ordered with a smile. "I will help her as a gift for my new student. Take into account that I am already reaching my limits to how much Bloodline Essence I can give. It's actually a huge favor I am giving you."

She decided so fast that Xuefeng didn't even have time to think when Emi snapped her fingers and Wuying disappeared from his embrace. Emi held her gently and uncovered her neck with a flip of her hair.

"Feast on me, my dear."

Emi didn't need to ask twice as Wuying helped herself immediately. Her fangs pierced into Emi's neck and began sucking to her heart content.

"Are you doing this to guilt-trip Wu into accepting you as her Master?" Xuefeng asked while looking at Wu who didn't seem that eager to leave him.

"Yes," Emi nodded shamelessly. "You took away my only Disciple and made her your slave. Do you expect me to be lonely and talk to myself?"

"Master…" Thunder Goddess muttered but Emi shook her head.

"It's not your fault," Emi assured. "You are still my disciple but it will take a while before I can free you. While I am at it, I will take another disciple to keep me company."

While they spoke, Wuying suddenly pulled away, gulping the last mouthful of blood in her mouth. Contrary to everyone's thought, she didn't transform like Wu. Her wings and tails didn't grow which caused Emi to frown.

"Didn't you absorb the Bloodline?" Emi asked in confusion but Wuying was already at Xuefeng's side, grabbing his wrist to lick the leftover blood off his skin.

"I'm sorry baby. Your blood will always be my favorite," Wuying muttered as she licked him clean before kissing him deeply with her arms wrapping around his neck. "Thank you for holding me back."

"It's only natural," Xuefeng replied as he hugged her waist. "How are you feeling? Your eyes are still red."

"I think they will stay this way and yeah, I'm feeling amazing," Wuying said while turning around in his arms and acknowledged Emi with a nod, "Thank you for your help as well."

"Wait, did you fully absorb my Bloodline?" Emi asked suspiciously.

"Yes, of course," Wuying nodded with a gentle smile. "I just didn't want to ruin my leather armor so I stopped the transformation right away. I only have a few sets left."

"This…" Emi muttered speechless as she gazed at Xuefeng greedily. "Your wives are something else… I want to take this one too."

"I'm sorry but I would rather stay with my Husband," Wuying denied outright, not even hesitating. "We already separated once and I hated every minute away from him. I won't do it again willingly."

Before Wu spoke as well, Emi snickered as she appeared by her side. "You all underestimate me. I will show you what you can get by studying under me."

Emi wrapped her arm around Wu's shoulder and announced. "She will be able to defeat any of you before you even leave my Realm. You will ask to be my disciple afterward."

Wu couldn't even open her mouth when they both vanished on the spot.
