Chapter 37: Chapter Thirty‑Six: Download Complete

In order to download Makusi's ancestral bloodline, Su Qing directly lived in the corridor outside the tomb chamber.

He stayed there for three straight days, with Selinna busy before and after, and every day there was plenty of fresh blood, so he never went hungry.

Just this progress is already moving.

Downloading nonstop twenty‑four hours a day, in three days only fifteen percent was downloaded.

At this rate, to finish downloading, at least another seventeen days are needed.

This time may look long, but it's actually not short; it already far exceeds Su Qing's budget.

But he couldn't possibly give up the ancestral bloodline; it's only a little over half a month, and enduring it will pass.

During these three days in the corridor, since the heavenly base downloads automatically, Su Qing just needs to be there; he can't really help, and there's nothing else to do, so he's very idle.

So, whenever Selinna came to bring blood each day, he would chat with her about the outside situation, constantly monitoring the movements of the vampires inside the manor.

Now the Blood Clan's life remains decadent, and Kailwen's disappearance hasn't caused much of a stir.

After all, only three days have passed; in such a short time, the vampires in the manor wouldn't think he was dead, only assuming he went off to do something.

But as time goes on, if Kailwen doesn't appear, it will certainly arouse suspicion among the Blood Clan in the manor, and Elder Amiliya will definitely send people everywhere to search for Kailwen's traces.

Regarding this, Su Qing is completely unpanicked.

After all, besides himself, only Selinna knew that Kailwen was killed; given their close relationship, she wouldn't inform on him, and she had no reason to.

Furthermore, after killing Kailwen, he destroyed the corpse and erased the traces.

He used corpse‑dissolving liquid to melt him entirely into a pool of blood, leaving no body at all.

Moreover, it has rained in Budapesi for the past three days; such a large volume of water has flowed into the sewers, and now that pool of blood has been washed away somewhere by the water, and he doesn't know where.

With all these buffs stacked, if anyone could still find Su Qing the killer, that would be truly ghostly.

In Su Qing's expectation, the Blood Clan would definitely start searching frantically, but as long as they don't find anything for a long time, the matter will pass.

With Amiliya holding down the manor, the dragons have a leader; although Kailwen's disappearance is important, nothing is more important than the seat of the second‑in‑command right in front of them.

People always say the Blood Clan is elegant and proud, but in Su Qing's view that's utter nonsense; vampires aren't mindless wooden blocks—they have thoughts, feelings, and even selfish motives.

The Blood Clan has developed for several centuries; its internal class system has solidified—one radish, one hole—making advancement through effort basically impossible.

Now a second‑in‑command position is vacant—who wouldn't crave it, who wouldn't want to sit up there and see the view?

So from now on, power struggles and profit‑seeking inside the manor will be the mainstream, open and covert; as for Kailwen, he'll soon be forgotten, trotted out only when needed as a banner—anyone who genuinely goes looking for him is a complete idiot.

Over the next few days, events unfolded exactly as Su Qing had imagined; at first the vampires didn't take Kailwen's disappearance to heart, but after five straight days without his reappearance, they vaguely sensed something was off and began sending people everywhere to look for his shadow.

Unfortunately, after searching three days straight, they had practically turned Budapesi upside down looking, yet found no trace of Kailwen; instead they coincidentally discovered four or five werewolves. It can only be said they were unlucky.

When things reached this point, it directly startled the recluse lady Amiliya, prompting her to leave the room she hadn't stepped out of for years.

Yes, a recluse.

Su Qing never expected that Amiliya would be a recluse, staying in her room every day without going out; he had previously worried she would cause trouble, but now it seems he overthought it.

Amiliya went out, gathered the vampires in the hall, first soothed their emotions, then issued an order to expand the search range and continue looking for Kailwen, and pointed to a vampire beside her named Weite, who would temporarily act as second‑in‑command, managing the manor to keep it running normally.

This decision caused some vampires to be dissatisfied, but they dared not defy Amiliya's decision, so they could only nod and say yes.

However, their fear of Amiliya does not mean they fear Weite.

As Amiliya once again retreated into seclusion, the manor became a scene of shifting clouds and winds; its excitement could fill a hundred Mission: Impossible films.

"As expected." Su Qing leaned against the wall, looking at Selinna before him, thought for a moment, and said: "How do you see the current situation?"

Selinna shook her head, looking at Su Qing with doubt.

"I mean, have you thought about taking the second‑in‑command position? If so, as Victor's adopted daughter, you still have a good chance." Su Qing explained, then went on to analyze the current situation with her.

Selinna merely listened to a few sentences before cutting off Su Qing's words, handing him the vase filled with blood: "Just drink up quickly; before I take revenge, I won't consider anything else."

Su Qing thought the same; for over five hundred years, what has supported Selinna has been the hatred in her heart, and now that the grudge remains unavenged, she certainly won't have the mind to consider matters of power.

Besides, in his current state he can't be of much help; if Selinna gets dragged into the power vortex and encounters any danger, that would be troublesome.

Thinking this through, Su Qing also gave up the idea, picked up the vase, and began to drink.

Beside her, Selinna watched his state; although she had asked many times, she still couldn't help asking again: "Is your condition really okay?"

"It's fine." Su Qing said while drinking, with a buzzing tone: "Just a few more days and it'll be done."

Selinna nodded, not pressing the issue further, and simply stood aside quietly watching Su Qing gulp down fresh blood.

……………………

Days and months shuttle like weaving, time flies like an arrow, and soon it was the evening of the twentieth day.

Outside the tomb chamber's iron door corridor, seven or eight people came, the leader being a twenty‑something yellow‑haired youth.

"Is that yellow‑skinned monkey inside?"

"Yes, he's inside; I personally saw him and Selinna go in, and after that day he never came out again, with Selinna bringing in large amounts of blood every day." the woman wearing heavy makeup beside the yellow‑haired youth replied.

"You said Selinna brings in large amounts of blood every day." The yellow‑haired youth raised his eyebrows.

The woman patted her heavy bosom and said: "What I said is certainly true; Selinna once saved me, so we're on good terms, and every time I go to the storeroom to get blood, I'm the one helping."

Hearing that, the people following behind the yellow‑haired youth couldn't help but tease:

"Wow, you woman, Selinna saved you yet you're selling her out—you're utterly wicked, but I like it!"

"Yeah, yeah."

"……"

"Alright, no more talk—come with me to have a look." The yellow‑haired youth stopped the teasing, led the group to the iron door, and said to Lu Dexiu: "I'm Weite, I want to go in."

"Sure." Lu Dexiu gave an indifferent nod, opened the iron door; although he usually guarded outside the tomb chamber and hardly went out, he still knew of Elder Amiliya's appointment.

As the iron door opened, Weite led the crowd into the corridor.

After walking several dozen steps, the group saw a person sitting outside the tomb chamber's main door.

"He's that so‑called Su Qing, the yellow‑skinned monkey." The woman with heavy makeup immediately spoke up upon seeing him.

"I'm not blind; why do you need to remind me!" Weite glared at the woman, then led his men toward Su Qing.

Meanwhile, Su Qing, sitting cross-legged outside the gate, was focused on the light screen and didn't notice a group of people approaching him.

"Finally, finally it's 100%."

Looking at the display of the completed task column on the light screen, Su Qing felt as if he had awakened from a dream; these twenty days, he either ate or waited to eat each day, basically raising pigs more than raising pigs.

However, all this effort was worth it.

Primordial vampire source blood, it's mine now!
