Hu Jiu raised an eyebrow as he listened to their conversation, but his guard against Liu Tingxue lowered.
The serious atmosphere between the two did not last long. Liu Tingxue took out a bottle of blood-red potion. "This is the magic potion that Fang Yuanyuan has always wanted. It contains the talents of various races."
Before we arrived, Leon had already completed most of the research; this was the final dose. Although we were able to trick her at the last minute, it was almost certain that Fang Yuanyuan had already developed characteristics of other races after taking the potion.
An Ge nodded solemnly; she never underestimated Fang Yuanyuan.
"Don't be so serious. I'm here, aren't I? Don't worry, I'll definitely stir up this mess."
An Ge... I get the feeling that they're the villains.
"Has Fang Yuanyuan bothered you during this time?" An Ge asked with concern. Liu Tingxue's identity seems safe, but once she faces Fang Yuanyuan or even the divine servant beside her, Liu Tingxue's identity will be difficult to conceal.
"She did send someone over, but it wasn't a divine servant. I dealt with them easily. Leon has always had a strange personality. Once he gets into research, he becomes indifferent to everyone, which makes things easier for me."
An Ge glanced at Liu Tingxue's dark circles and firmly ordered, "You need to get some rest now."
Liu Tingxue was somewhat reluctant, but ultimately succumbed to An Ge's gaze.
"Then let's do as An Xiaoge says. But before we rest, there's one more thing to do." With that, she opened a door, revealing the mixed-race person who had been brought over.
The mixed-race people, who were enjoying their meal, were momentarily stunned when they saw the door open, but they quickly came to their senses.
The chubby elf wiped the food crumbs from the corner of his mouth and smiled warmly, "Lord Lyon, are you looking for some ingredients?"
Liu Tingxue, wearing Leon's face, nodded seriously, "You only need to take it once this time, and then you won't need to come anymore."
"Huh? You... you don't need to come?"
"What? You can't bear to part with it?"
"No, no, no, we'll do whatever you say, Master." The mixed-race individuals quickly shook their heads. Although they could eat and drink well here, they were still somewhat apprehensive.
As An Ge was enjoying the cool air and Liu Tingxue was gathering some materials, she saw the mixed-race individuals skillfully using tools to draw their own blood, and then using their talents to attack a giant sphere.
After collecting the blood, Liu Tingxue immediately closed the door, isolating the mixed-race person on the other side.
Ange stared in disbelief at the whole scene. Had she placed her trust too soon? And how could those mixed-race people be so cooperative? Where was their resistance? Where was their struggle?
"An Xiaoge, shut your mouth, don't be so surprised. This little bit of blood won't harm them at all. Haven't you seen how well I've been feeding and caring for them?"
Lyon previously extracted their talents using forceful methods, but I improved upon this and created a talent-collecting device. They only need to unleash their talents to achieve the same effect. Isn't that ingenious?
An Ge nodded stiffly. She had to admit that Liu Tingxue's talent in certain areas was indeed terrifyingly high. No wonder she could become the most talented senior sister of the Xinglin Sect.
More than once, I felt fortunate that Liu Tingxue was not Fang Yuanyuan's divine servant; otherwise, with Liu Tingxue as an assistant, Fang Yuanyuan's abilities would have been even more terrifying.
What An Ge didn't know was that even if Liu Tingxue were recruited by Fang Yuanyuan, she wouldn't willingly follow. Before the entanglement deepens, the relationship between divine servants and chosen ones is one of mutual selection.
According to the original plan, they had at least another half month in the capital. But after receiving a message from Rong Zhuo, An Ge decided to speed things up.
According to Rongzhuo, the withering of the Secondary Tree of Life seems to be accelerating, and the Elf Forbidden Land will open ahead of schedule.
Although they have not yet seen the Tree of Life with their own eyes, it is the source of the Elven race's power, and any changes can be seen through the Elven race.
After discussing their respective progress, the group decided to proceed as planned once Liu Tingxue's potion research was successful.
"Don't worry, An Xiaoge. At the current pace, I should be able to succeed in the next couple of days. You can start preparing." Liu Tingxue said confidently.
The half-bloods in the dungeon were thrilled to hear they were about to escape. They had waited so long; were they finally going to be free?
Although they didn't know if the escape would be successful, no one refused to cooperate. They knew that even if they stayed, they wouldn't be able to save their lives and might face even more cruel consequences.
The attitude of the authorities towards mixed-race individuals is now very clear; no one will harbor any illusions that they can escape unscathed.
Over two days, An Ge secretly removed the suppression rings from everyone's bodies. Without the restraints of the suppression rings, these hybrids were no longer sickly as before, and some even exuded astonishing power.
At this moment, Hu Jiu made no attempt to conceal his aura, startling those mixed-race individuals who considered themselves strong and wanted to act on their own.
Even the seemingly weak leader, An Ge, is stronger than them; they can't afford to offend her.
An Ge had long anticipated this outcome once the suppression ring was removed, but with a legendary mage like Hu Jiu around, she wasn't afraid of what trouble these people might cause.
Sensing the presence of An Ge and Hu Jiu, the dwarf-hybrid finally voiced the question that had been lingering in his mind.
"You two, you're not mixed-race, are you?"
The two nodded. They were only able to impersonate hybrids because they had taken the hybrid pill, but now that their strength was no longer suppressed, the effects of the hybrid pill had also disappeared.
The dwarf-hybrid suddenly realized, "That makes sense. If someone is a hybrid, they can't walk around outside so freely. I was suspicious when this young master walked out of the dungeon."
An Ge raised an eyebrow. She had never hidden her identity from others, so many people must have been suspicious, right?
Will being mixed-race have any impact?
The mixed-race individuals felt a weight lifted from their hearts; guessing was one thing, but the other party was definitely another.
"Of course not, but if you had been purebloods from the beginning, we might not have trusted you so much." The discrimination against mixed-bloods is a deeply ingrained impression, and they have long been used to it.
Even powerful mixed-bloods feel inferior when facing pure-bloods.
From the perspective of the mixed-bloods, it was already a rare occurrence that the pure-bloods did not take advantage of their misfortune, let alone rescue them.
"And what about you now?"
“Of course we trust the two lords.” After the dwarf-hybrid finished speaking, the other hybrids nodded in agreement.
These two people have seen how much they've helped them during this time, and if it were to harm them, they wouldn't have helped them remove the suppression rings.
With their strength, escaping the dungeon would be a piece of cake for them.
Some of the mixed-race individuals who had also been to the lab, like An Ge, had a flicker in their eyes when they thought about An Ge's interactions with that witch doctor.
