So we can just replace it with a better one later. Besides, if a child with the bloodlines of Shadow Raven and Holy Eagle produces a level four or even level five bloodline, it will be easier to expose his identity. It might not matter if the real one has a high concentration of blood from his mother's family, but he is, after all, a fake, so safety should come first.

Next, let's take a look at the illustration of the Lamy subspecies...

"Um... Lord Zhuang Sen?"

"Oh, what's wrong, Dante..."

Dantalian's somewhat shy voice startled Zhuang Sen. He turned off the light screen in front of him, looked up at Dantalian, and was then stunned by the beautiful scenery.

Having fully awakened from her pleasant reverie, the nun crossed her arms over her bare chest, but her slender arms offered little cover over her full, snowy breasts, barely concealing her rosy nipples. Fortunately, her lower body was covered by fine snake scales, so she didn't have to worry about obscuring her breasts. However, the blush of shame made the concealment almost worse than it was, making her even more alluring than when she was unconscious.

"Lord Zhuangson..."

Amidst Dantalian's soft moans, Zhuang Sen regretfully averted his gaze and coughed lightly: "Sister Dantalian, I'll go prepare your clothes right away..."

Dantalian lowered her eyes and gave a soft "hmm," seemingly overly shy. But only she knew that the real reason was that she was suppressing her impulse. After completing her awakening and seeing Zhuang Sen again, she had an urge to pin him down, entwine him, and then ruthlessly exploit him...

This is the bloodline nature that awakens with the awakening of one's bloodline, and it's a problem that all bloodline users need to seriously address, because compliance or resistance will affect the growth rate of their bloodline power. Of course, it also depends on the bloodline. For example, the Shadow Raven bloodline simply prefers darkness and dislikes light, and most Shadow Raven bloodline users don't mind complying. But someone like Lamia…

Dantalian's face grew increasingly flushed as she watched Zhuang Sen walk towards the door. Her snake tail involuntarily wriggled as she followed. But before she could get close to Zhuang Sen, Dantalian immediately pulled it back, suppressing her desire.

No, I can't be so shameless.

What's wrong with that? Didn't he already say he likes you?

That was just a joke.

Awakening a level five bloodline, and even receiving a level four awakening potion—if he didn't like you, why would he treat you so well? Are you his mother?

Sister Lamia, caught in a mental struggle, was finally awakened by the sound of the door closing. Unable to see Zhuang Sen, the little devil stirring within her was immediately beaten to death by the angels. Dantalian breathed a sigh of relief. Although she had inherited knowledge of this impulse from her bloodline, knowing that she would only feel this way about Zhuang Sen, having seen it in reality was still more reassuring.

Ugh, no, just thinking about Zhuang Sen...

The nun wrapped her mature and alluring figure up, leaving only her captivating and mature face exposed, and calmly began to organize her spoils... Hmm, so it's possible to transform back into human form?

The belatedly realizing what was happening, the nun tried to transform back into human form, then felt somewhat stifled. In human form, her previously unrestrained abilities were clearly limited, her physical strength was significantly weakened, and some abilities were even unusable—this was the normal state of a bloodline user.

Not long after, Johnson returned to the ceremony room with an oversized, loose-fitting suit, and then he saw Dantalian completely naked, her long, straight legs framing lush flaxen...

Now we really see everything.

Although Sister Dantalian immediately transformed back into her Lamia form, the scenery she had just witnessed still left Zhuang Sen speechless for a moment. He then hurriedly handed the oversized dress to Sister Dantalian: "Sister Dantalian, I have arranged a carriage. You can go directly after you change. I have some things to attend to, so I won't see you off."

After speaking rapidly, Zhuang Sen quickly left the ceremony room—if he didn't leave soon, he really wouldn't be able to control his gun.

Moreover, he really did have something to do; he wasn't playing hard to get.

“Zhuang…Sen…”

Dantalian paused for a moment after receiving the dress, then all that was left in front of her was the swaying wooden door. The little devil who had just been beaten to death jumped out in a different guise: "See? I told you to strike first, now he got away!"

The little angel scoffed, "Idiot! He's clearly just shy. Little boys like this need to be teased and disciplined!"

"A sixteen-year-old noble brat might already have children, let alone a little boy?"

Dantalian covered her head and shook it, throwing away the little angel and the little devil, before transforming back into human form and putting on the new dress that Zhuang Sen had brought. Although she could transform back into human form, her size hadn't shrunk; the oversized dress fit her perfectly… Did this mean that Zhuang Sen already knew her size would change, but didn't avoid it, so he did it on purpose?

Lost in thought, Dantalian tightened the last belt, the soft fabric completely concealing her alluring figure, leaving only her beautiful face exposed. The mature and beautiful woman who would make one's blood boil transformed into a dignified noblewoman, with only her increasingly moist phoenix eyes occasionally flashing a hint of subtle charm.

"Let's go back first, there's plenty of time later anyway."

With the humanoid interference gone, Dantalian regained her composure and murmured as she walked out of the room.

……

On the other side, Zhuang Sen arrived at the room of the manor's owner.

A beautiful woman draped in black sat at a round table, gazing sadly at the portrait on it. Only when Zhuang Sen approached did her pale golden eyes, which had been as calm as still water, lighten slightly: "Zhuang Sen, you've come. Did you succeed?"

This is Lia Faro Faro, the mother of Johnson Leon, and also the beautiful woman Johnson saw when he traveled through time. The corpse that looks very much like him is naturally Johnson Leon.

The rest was simple: Johnson needed to establish himself in this world, and Leah Farau needed to find the murderer who killed her son. Johnson happened to look exactly like Johnson Leon. While there was a significant age difference between 24 and 16, in a world with supernatural powers, this difference wasn't difficult to conceal. Besides, with Leah Farau's confirmation, no one else could question it. In short, the two hit it off immediately. Johnson, an orphan, didn't mind having another adoptive mother.

Zhuang Sen sat down opposite the beautiful woman and poured himself a cup of black tea: "I succeeded. I am now of the bloodline of a peerless angel. Have you heard of that?"

Leah Farau pondered for a moment, then surprisingly nodded: "The Farau family has records that this is a level three bloodline?"

Zhuang Sen was somewhat surprised, but this was a good thing: "It seems we can save a lot of effort. Next, we will continue to publicize that my injuries have healed and that I am preparing to awaken the sacred bloodline of the Falau family. Those murderers who killed your poor child will definitely not be able to resist making a move again. Let's write them down first and then send them to see the goddess one by one."

Leah Farau shook her head, her cold voice carrying a deep resentment: "Your father... Cross is coming back soon, we don't have time to take our time."

Cross Leon, the current Earl of Leon, a Level 3 Shadow Raven bloodline holder, and the Royal Intelligence Minister, actually spends most of his time away from the Earl's territory, serving in the court. This is why the Earl's sons dare to so recklessly kill each other. Ah, of course, this doesn't mean Cross Leon cares much about this; it's just that his return will make the infighting much more difficult, because he can't stand such low-level tactics.

A schemer who cannot be evaded even by the law deserves only to be food for crows—By Cross Leon, Intelligence Minister of the Fallen Star Kingdom

Zhuang Sen frowned; this was indeed a problem: "How many more days?"

Leah Farau gazed at Zhuang Sen and said quietly, "If the intelligence is correct, there is still one week left."

“One week…” Zhuang Sen thought for a moment and then decisively said, “Let’s change the steps. Continue the publicity, but spread the word that the Awakening Potion is to be transported from the Falao family and has already arrived in Meteorite City.”

Leah Farau considered for a moment and then understood Johnson's meaning. The previous plan was to use Johnson Leon's established image to lure the killer away. The advantage was that they could have a conversation and take notes to investigate and deal with each case one by one, like fishing with a rod and bait. Now, they were going to directly discharge electricity into the water, killing all the fish at once, good or bad. The advantage was speed and ruthlessness, but there was no guarantee that they would be accurate.

If possible, Lydia Farau didn't want innocent people to be implicated, but she quickly made up her mind: "Let's do it this way, I'll have Lydia do it."

"Okay, then I'll go prepare for the awakening." Zhuang Sen glanced at the [Unranked Angel Bloodline] in the system, stood up impatiently, and walked towards the door.

"Zhuang Sen..."

A soft, deep voice echoed in the room, its meaning complex and profound. Zhuang Sen couldn't understand it; he had never experienced anything like it before. He still walked out of the room, but before closing the door, he said into the room, "Goodnight, Mother."

The author says:

Chapter Four: Illustrated Guide

Back in the ceremony room, Zhuang Sen felt a bit hungry; it was already noon, and he hadn't eaten yet. But then he thought better of it—it wouldn't make a difference if he waited a little longer, and the allure of supernatural power was far greater.

Open the system panel and select the Unranked Angel Bloodline.

【Select target application】

[Confirm/Cancel]

[Target identified, qualification testing underway...]

[Compatibility 100%, Bloodline addition in progress...]

Zhuang Sen stood in the Awakening Array of the Goddess of Justice, next to the Awakening Array of the Church of Nemesis. He closed his eyes to the monotonous system notifications. A warm current slowly flowed through his body, and with each passage, Zhuang Sen could feel a noticeable change. Stronger, more resilient, lighter, more…younger?

Zhuang Sen's expression turned strange. He did know that bloodline awakening would affect physical development, as had happened to Dantalian before. However, it usually resulted in more mature and larger development, which was why Zhuang Sen and Lia Farau weren't worried about being discovered. Once he completed the awakening, the age issue could be attributed to his bloodline.

However, after Zhuang Sen sensed it, he found that this was actually quite good, because his body had truly become 16 years old. He truly deserved to be called an angel.

Soon, without any mishaps, Zhuang Sen completed his first bloodline awakening. The 24-year-old bones that had been concealed transformed into the body of a young 16-year-old, and a pair of small white wings appeared on his back. These wings allowed Zhuang Sen to hover and move at a height of up to one meter off the ground, but don't expect much speed. The advantage, however, is that they consume almost no energy.

As for the other three abilities, [Healing], [Purification], and [Trick Light], they are similar. Healing and Purification can only target minor injuries and toxins or filth, while Trick Light provides abilities similar to Candlelight and Dazzling Light. It's not very strong, but it's not weak among first-awakening bloodline users. If it activates its angel form, it can numerically overwhelm most first-awakening bloodline users.

[The bloodline of the Angel of No Rank has been developed to the initial stage, the Angel of No Rank illustration has been unlocked, and 1 Angel Seed has been obtained.]

【Angel Seed: A magical seed containing angelic power. When nurtured using holy power, it may grow into crops with holy attributes; directly consuming the seed can promote the growth of holy bloodlines】

The system notification sounded again, and Zhuang Sen stopped cosplaying as a human light bulb and retracted the wings on his back. At this moment, apart from his clearer and more holy aura, he looked no different from an ordinary person. Of course, those familiar with bloodline individuals could see the change in their physical attributes, but it wasn't impossible to conceal.

Anyway, it only takes a few days to fool them.

After confirming his physical condition, Zhuang Sen reopened the system panel and flipped to the encyclopedia page. The screen transformed into a book, displaying an illustration of a young angel on the left and a large amount of text on the right. However, almost all the data was now marked with question marks, with only a few items containing specific information.

Bloodline Limit: 3

Development Rewards: Beginner: Angel Seed *1

Bloodline Ability: Omitted

These pictures are truly insightful and thought-provoking.

Zhuang Sen turned the page speechlessly, but the next page wasn't the Holy Lamia he expected, but just Lamia, and something interesting appeared:

Racial traits: Mana replenishment, loyalty, greed.

?

Zhuang Sen paused for a moment, then flipped through the pages, passing the subspecies of Poisonous Lamia, Enchanting Lamia, and Giant Lamia before finally reaching the Holy Lamia. Yes, these Lamia have different racial characteristics, but without exception, they all possess the three traits mentioned above.

Forget it, let's think about why the Angels without rank only unlock their own entries in the encyclopedia, while Holy Lamia can unlock all Lamia entries. No, let's practice our bloodline abilities first.

Ultimately, improving your own skills is the most reassuring thing!

……

Temple of Aranta.

Dantalian entered the temple. The nun, who had grown from 1.7 meters tall to a two-meter-tall figure, attracted a lot of attention from the moment she entered the temple. Fortunately, her appearance remained unchanged, and she did not encounter any dramatic incidents. She easily arrived at the bishop's room.

"Bishop Rosa, Priestess Loris"

Dantalian bowed her head as she passed through the doorway, which she couldn't reach even on tiptoe before, and gave a slight bow to the elderly bishop with his gray hair but still radiant spirit, and the blonde nun beside her: "I succeeded."

Loris's eyes widened as she looked up at Dantalian, who was about the same height as her, her mouth gradually opening into an "O" shape.

Bishop Rosa was excited. Although she had appeared calm before, that was more out of composure and a hint of expectation; she didn't actually believe that Johnson could succeed or that Dantalian could awaken. After all, Dantalian hadn't shown anything particularly special before, except for her appearance.

Thinking of this, Bishop Rosa suddenly had a guess: "Dantrian, could it be that you have some kind of giant blood?"

This explains why the body shape changes so much after awakening, and why the only characteristic before awakening was a particularly good figure.

Dantalian wasn't surprised, but smiled slightly with a hint of pride: "No, my bloodline is Holy Lamia, that's right, Your Excellency, I have healing abilities."

Dantalian opened her right hand, and pure white light emerged from it, radiating a warm glow. Bathed in this light, Bishop Rosa and Loris both felt a sense of comfort, and some of their previous injuries had noticeably healed.

Both are awakenings, but compared to the level 3 cap of the rankless angel, the level 5 cap of the Holy Lamia has a much better effect on bloodline abilities.

Bishop Rosa stood up excitedly: "Holy bloodline! No wonder that kid Zhuang Sen was able to awaken you! As expected of the Falau family!"

Loris was also incredibly excited. As one of the two bloodline users of the Aranta Temple, she frequently engaged in battles and often inevitably suffered injuries. Without the healing methods available to other bloodline users, she could only rely on her own physical strength to tough it out, as ordinary medicine was rarely able to treat the damage caused by some bloodline abilities.

At this moment, all the negative views that were previously held towards the child, Zhuang Sen, have been transformed into positive ones, because he has brought a hope for the future to the Temple of Aranta, a rising star with boundless potential!

Dantalian saw all this and knew that the time was almost right, so she stated the terms she had agreed upon with Zhuang Sen: "Therefore, Bishop Rosa, Priestess Loris, I believe that not only our Alanta Temple, but the entire church should support Lord Zhuang Sen."

Loris seemed even more excited than Dantalian at this moment: "That's right, Your Excellency! This is a level five bloodline! Even without awakening potions, and only able to complete four awakenings, it's still much stronger than an ordinary level four bloodline!"

Bishop Rosa was initially excited, but upon hearing about the fifth-level bloodline, her smile faded considerably. She then shook her head: "No, Loris, Dantalian, do not tell anyone that you have a fifth-level bloodline, and do not even publicize the fact that you have a fourth-level bloodline."

"Why?" Loris asked, puzzled. The young girl couldn't understand why something that was beneficial to the church and Dantalian should be kept secret.

Bishop Rosa sighed: "Our patriarch is only a level four bloodline, and she's only in her eighties, and she has a dark bloodline."

Dantalian understood, and so did Loris.

"Why isn't that old woman dead yet?!"

As Loris complained bluntly, Dantalian, who had originally intended to bring up the matter of the Bloodline True Form, changed the subject: "Even if it's level three, shouldn't that be enough for us to support Lord Zhuang Sen?"

“Of course, Dantalian, from today onwards, Johnson Leon is our most honored guest at the Temple of Aranta!” Bishop Rosa made the final decision, which finally made Dantalian feel a little better.

But is there any other way to help Zhuang Sen?

Chapter Five: Rumors

In the dimly lit room, the aroma of ale mingled with the scents of various bodily fluids, creating the atmosphere of a tavern. A diverse crowd huddled around the oak tables, whispering or shouting, as countless pieces of information, useful or useless, flowed and were fabricated at breakneck speed, making both gathering and discerning a difficult task.

But this wasn't a problem for Johnson, because he was just checking to see if the rumors he'd spread had gotten around.

Leah Farau acted swiftly; while Zhuang Sen was still mastering his new abilities, she had already prepared and spread the rumors. Zhuang Sen sat there for an hour, hearing no discussion whatsoever about "Zhuang Sen Leon awakening the Holy Eagle bloodline" or "the awakening potion being sent from the Farau family." Meanwhile, the bartender, whose main job was information brokering, was packed, his younger brother grinning from ear to ear.

Good things are all good things.

Zhuang Sen pondered, feeling it was about time to leave. However, just before he was about to get up, the heavy wooden door of the tavern was suddenly pushed open, and a slender girl with light blue hair swaggered toward the bartender. Her small, round face, completely unmasked, wore a smug smile that made one want to punch her, a stark contrast to the other hooded and masked people in front of the bartender.

Even Zhuang Sen's expression was somewhat strange. He recognized the girl; she was his nominal half-sister, Ange Leon. Her purpose in coming here seemed obvious, but did she really want to be so conspicuous?

Zhuang Sen actually saw quite a few people who resembled his siblings, but they were all his subordinates, and they were all heavily disguised. It seemed they were here less to buy intelligence and more to drink and supplement their intelligence sources; Zhuang Sen didn't believe they didn't have their own intelligence channels. Ange Leon was the same; she was the most shrewd businesswoman of Zhuang Sen's generation, with connections to the Church of the Goddess of Gold Coins. Why would she need to personally come to buy intelligence?

Zhuang Sen watched with interest as the cheeky, girly-faced young woman pulled out her purse, exchanged it for a few thin sheets of paper, and then casually left the tavern, completely unfazed, as if she had genuinely only come to buy information. Even the bartender couldn't help but show a surprised expression; this wasn't what he expected! He had been prepared to give away information for free, or even get beaten up!

But since there's no show to watch, let's hurry up and leave, or we'll be in trouble if we get recognized.

Zhuang Sen touched the mask on his face, quickly walked out of the back door of the tavern, and then he understood why Ange Leon had done what she had just done.

"Newspapers for sale! Newspapers for sale! Secret intelligence about Johnson Leon! Only two gold coins!"

"Exclusive intelligence from the Brotherhood of Daggers!"
