"...The spiritual power is stable, the master is about to wake up!"
Shen Zhiyi regained consciousness amidst whispers.
She opened her eyes and turned to look at her most trusted confidant - Ian.
He is a snow rabbit orc with long drooping ears, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and has a bookish air.
"Master, how are you?"
Ian, wearing a white lab coat, walked over and spoke softly.
“It’s okay.” Shen Zhiyi shook his head.
With the help of two maids, she sat up, leaned against the head of the bed, and waved her hand, saying, "Everyone, leave."
The maids came out in response.
Soon, only the master and servant were left in the laboratory.
"How long have I slept?" Shen Zhiyi rubbed his stinging forehead, "What's going on outside?"
"Seven days." Ian pushed his glasses. His eyes behind the lenses were gentle and wise, but his expression was solemn.
"Master, the situation is not optimistic."
"The ritual failed. Instead of forming a contract with the noble Ice Phoenix as planned, you bound yourself to an exiled Black Snake."
"The royal family has lost face and is very disappointed in you."
"The Senate has decided to follow the Queen's advice and train the Lord as the successor."
"Heh." Shen Zhiyi sneered, "The reason why the ceremony failed is probably related to me, your stepfather."
Ian glanced at the closed door.
After confirming that there was no one outside, he called up a light screen with some complex data flowing on it.
"My Lord guessed correctly."
"The altar has been tampered with."
"If it weren't for your SSS-level healing power, and if you hadn't formed a pact with that powerful black snake at the last moment, using the contract to absorb most of the energy impact, I'm afraid you would be dead by now."
Ian changed the screen and showed her another set of data.
"However, what's interesting is that this snake husband of yours...doesn't seem to be an ordinary person."
Shen Zhiyi looked up and looked at the gene sequence displayed on the light screen with some surprise.
"This is...ancient bloodline?!"
"Yes," Ian whispered. "I secretly took a blood sample from him and after a thorough analysis, I discovered that this is a destructive bloodline recorded in forbidden ancient books."
"Once awakened, its power will be enough to overthrow the entire empire."
He looked at Shen Zhiyi worriedly, "Master, he is too dangerous, you can't get close to him."
Shen Zhiyi narrowed his eyes.
Danger?
No.
This is her only chance to turn the tables.
"Who else knows about this?" Shen Zhiyi looked up at him.
"It's just me for now." Ian turned off the light screen and said cautiously, "The analytical data has been stored by me. No one else will see it."
"Destroy the data immediately." Shen Zhiyi said calmly.
Ian's long ears twitched.
After a moment of confusion, he exclaimed in surprise, "Does the Master want to use him to awaken his ancient bloodline and seize power?!"
"Why not?" Shen Zhiyi's eyes flashed with determination.
"If they can really get the support of this bloodline, even if they have a powerful army, they won't be able to match me."
Change successor?
Oh.
They wanted her to get off the table willingly after killing her?
Absolutely not.
"But this is too difficult!" Ian looked at her still pale face and said worriedly, "This power is too dangerous. If you want to control it, you must possess a strong healing power to balance and stabilize its energy."
"Besides that, you must also gain the absolute trust of Samus, your snake husband."
Shen Zhiyi felt that this was not a difficult task.
She has top-notch healing power.
And Samus is already her contracted beast husband.
Her healing power was like the sweetest fruit to him, with a fatal attraction.
At the same time, it also has the strongest therapeutic effect.
As long as we make good use of this matter and gain his loyalty, there shouldn't be any problem.
Ian seemed to know what she was thinking and said hesitantly, "My Lord, you don't know... Samuel must hate you very much now."
"Hate me?" Shen Zhiyi looked up in shock, "Why?"
Ian was silent for a moment, his long ears drooping slightly, and said, "In order to save the dignity of the royal family, the queen imprisoned him in the dungeon while you were unconscious."
"Not only did you abuse him and peel his scales, you also told him that it was you who gave the order."
He raised his eyes and said, "Now he hates you to the core."
