"My blood?" Uesugi Etsu stared, dumbfounded. "What do you want my blood for?"
As a super-hybrid who inherited the bloodline of the White King and the last emperor of the hybrids, Uesugi Etsu naturally knew how precious his blood was. During World War II, a mere genetic sample of Uesugi Etsu's was enough to trade with Nazi Germany for their most cutting-edge genetic technology and Germany's protection of the Shieki Eight Families. Now, with the hybrid emperor having vanished into history, if even the tiniest fraction of Uesugi Etsu's blood sample leaked out, it would trigger a frenzy across the entire hybrid world. It was just like the flesh of the Monk of Tang from *Journey to the West*, granting immortality with a single bite—its value was absolute and peerless.
Yet Lu Mingze—*wait, Lu Mingfei*—demanded Uesugi Etsu's blood right from the start, and not just any blood, but all of his Imperial Blood. Even though Uesugi Etsu knew that everything Lu Mingfei had poured his heart out to tell him so far meant he probably wasn't coveting his blood, the potential crisis and chaos that a leak of his blood sample could cause were simply too massive. Therefore, despite trusting Lu Mingfei, Uesugi Etsu had to proceed with extreme caution.
