...

Before leaving, Youssefka gave Su Bai a special blood potion, one of the byproducts of her research on the flesh and blood of the Bloodthirsty Saints.

"So submitting the flesh and blood of high-level monsters has this kind of benefit."

Su Bai was secretly surprised.

But then he couldn't help but think more highly of Youssefka.

She had never been exposed to a systematic potion-making course. Therefore, despite her years of painstaking study of medicine, she still failed to step into the realm of potion-making and did not even have a grasp of the most basic pharmacological knowledge.

otherwise.

They won't be fooled by Wendell's simple tricks.

But her talent was truly astonishing; even in the distorted medical development of the Lost City, she was able to achieve unique research results.

If it can be nurtured.

He might just be a future master of potions!

This person, who can be described as a national treasure, would be a tremendous loss if he were to perish in the Lost City under mysterious circumstances.

"This Wendell, I wonder what kind of scheme he's up to... but since he dares to reach out to Yousefka, it's best to get rid of him as soon as possible."

Su Bai made his decision in a short time.

However, Wendell is currently highly regarded by the Countess, and taking direct action could anger her.

Su Bai was not afraid of the Countess.

But dealing with her is easy; if Yusevka loses this safe haven, it will be much harder for her to survive in the city.

"Let's figure out what that guy is doing first..."

"If I can take over his job, even if I kill him, it won't have much of an impact."

Su Bai suddenly realized.

Stepping out of the room and into the lavishly decorated living room, several gray shadows flashed past in an instant.

"come out."

Su Bai lightly tapped a suit of armor standing in the corner.

A pale woman's face reluctantly emerged from the image. She tried to make a fawning expression, but her stiff face only twitched, and her smile was uglier than a ghost's.

The female ghost asked cautiously, "Is there something you need?"

"Where is Madam's distinguished guest?"

Su Bai asked directly.

"Oh, Madam and your distinguished guest went to the backyard together this evening and haven't returned yet. If you wish to see them, I can inform them... Wait, guest, you cannot wander around the manor..."

When the female ghost saw Su Bai turn his head with a malicious look, she immediately shrank back into her armor, revealing only a pair of terrified green ghost eyes through her mask.

"Please, do as you wish..."

The star chart has been automatically updated with a detailed map of the manor.

He knew the way like the back of his hand, and walked smoothly through the buildings to the backyard of the manor.

The backyard was very desolate, overgrown with weeds, and obviously rarely maintained. Further away was a withered and lifeless forest.

According to the map.

Behind this grove of dead trees is a cemetery.

cemetery....

Su Bai vaguely remembered that it was the Countess's family cemetery, but he didn't have much of an impression of it and figured it probably wouldn't contain any good items.

I was just thinking about it.

Two figures, one tall and one short, emerged from the withered forest and came into his view.

The Countess wore a magnificent purple gown, which accentuated her towering figure on the flat ground. She must have been about 2.2 meters tall, and walking next to the already short Wendell, she looked like an elegant giant.

The two were walking and talking.

She caught a glimpse of Su Bai and her expression suddenly changed. Then, she instantly turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared from the spot.

"How did you end up here?!"

A cold voice suddenly rang out from behind.

Su Bai quickly turned his head, but immediately felt a little embarrassed. His height was just at the Countess's chest, so when he turned his head, he saw two incredibly shockingly huge mounds.

He subtly averted his gaze, took two steps back, and looked directly at the Countess's angry face, which was covered in heavy smoky makeup.

"I'm lost."

He said, feigning innocence.

"Get out of here!" the Countess snapped, her tone unfriendly. "I've been very lenient with you, but that doesn't mean you can do whatever you want in this manor!"

You could tell she was very angry.

Such a lame excuse would make anyone feel insulted.

Despite her anger, she didn't dare to truly break ties with Su Bai.

She didn't take in Youssefka and his companion out of kindness.

If Su Bai hadn't threatened them with force from the start, how could she have allowed them to 'visit' the manor?

Strictly speaking...

Even now, she is still considered a victim of Su Bai's violence and coercion...

"I'm very sorry," Su Bai apologized sincerely. "I didn't know that this place was off-limits. In fact, I have something to discuss with Mr. Wendell."

“He did come to see me, madam.”

Wendell arrived at that moment.

Hearing his explanation, the Countess's expression softened slightly, but her attitude towards Su Bai remained unfriendly.

"I hope you will strictly abide by the rules of the manor from now on!"

"Of course I will."

Su Bai said.

then.

He then took out all the snake venom flowers.

A burst of approving laughter immediately came from beneath the strange silver mask, "You have indeed fulfilled your promise. No wonder that beautiful lady praised you so highly!"

Su Bai's expression remained unchanged when he mentioned Youssefka.

He said, "I must thank you for your guidance, which helped her find a new direction for her research. I know absolutely nothing about medicine, thanks to you."

"I just couldn't bear to see a genius buried in obscurity."

Wendell's voice betrayed a hint of undisguised smugness.

[Hint: Complete the quest – Find the Snake Venom Flower!]

[Gained: Wendell's favorability +10!]

[Gained: Experience +!]

[Obtained: Anti-poison Bracelet!]

...

A notification sounded in my ear after the task was completed.

At this point, Wendell said to the Countess, "With these materials, we can proceed with the next step of preparation. You don't actually need to be so wary of this gentleman; he can also provide assistance to your plan."

"Um?"

The Countess looked at Su Bai with her deep, dark eyes.

She had already realized that the materials Su Bai had retrieved were exactly what Wendell needed, and that Wendell was working for her.

In other words...

Su Bai's actions were actually all in her interest.

"I apologize for my rudeness just now." The countess's attitude changed completely, and she took the initiative to speak to Su Bai.
