Chapter 372 Chapter 371: Delicious But Too Hot!
"Oh, man!"
Evi frowned as he looked at the two blood pills sitting in his hands. He was afraid that he would choke on one of them due to their size.
Compared to regular blood pills that were easy to swallow since they were designed to be used in battle, Yoze's wasn't. His blood pills were as large as a golf ball, which made it incredibly easy for anyone to accidentally choke on them if they were not careful.
Yet, even though Evi knew the risks of eating these pills, he couldn't help but feel lustful for them. They seemed to have some sort of magnetic pull that made him drool and whisper sweet nothings in his ears, telling him to eat them.
Evi looked at the two maids sitting with him on the bed and saw they were just as attracted to the blood pills as he was. Especially Gilan, who was literally drooling over it.
If it wasn't because she was waiting for Yoze to tell her that it was alright to eat it, she would have swallowed her blood pill the moment it touched her hand. Even Suzanne lightly licked her lips as she had a look of longing in her eyes.
Something was telling her to eat it and to make sure to savory every last bit of it as it would give her the power that she desired.
"These pills are enchanted!" Suzanne's pupils shrunk as she resisted the urge to eat it,
"What are you waiting for? You guys can eat it, but be careful of choking. I know they smell good, but I can guarantee they taste even better." Yoze said with a smile.
After hearing Yoze's words of encouragement, Evi, Gilan, and Suzanne couldn't resist any longer. The first to crumble was Gilan, as before Yoze even finished his sentence, she popped her blood pill into her mouth.
Immediately, she felt her blood pill spike in heat as it became hotter and hotter before it quickly melted on her tongue. At the same time, due to the heat, her face became flushed red as she flapped her hands around her face in a useless attempt to cool herself down.
Even as she swallowed the liquid blood pill, the heat didn't weaken and instead continuously grew. The heat of the blood pill spread throughout her body like a virus trying to burn her alive from the inside.
"Too hot!" Gilan growled as she felt helpless against the endless heat burning her organs.
Yet, as she was being burnt alive, she felt as if a hidden power inside her body was being driven out. She felt stronger and more energized, and her mind felt clearer than ever before.
Suddenly, Gilan felt two big hands grab her waist and lift her into the air like a baby. Looking down at a body that looked like a lobster boiling alive, she felt a strange sense of relief seeing the serious look on Yoze's face.
"Shit, I made it too strong. Seeing how you are reacting, my blood pills are actually cooking you alive! If I don't do anything, by the time the effects of the pill stop, you will be dead." Yoze frowned as he could sense that Gilan's body temperature had reached dangerous temperatures.
This wasn't a temperature normal people could handle for a long time. Before an hour passed, he knew that Gilan's organs would have been burned black along with her brain.
Even though he had informed her that this was an experiment, he didn't plan on accidentally taking her life. After all, she was just an ordinary maid trying to make a living in this tough world.
She didn't desire to die.
"But what can I do to help her? My spiritual energy is useless here, and so is my immortal cultivation. I haven't gotten far enough on either of them to be capable of helping another person." Yoze frowned as he saw that Gilan was losing her mind.
After quickly glancing at Evi's and Suzanne's situation, they were also having a tough time enduring the effects of the blood pill but were faring much better. For Evi, even though the effects of the blood pill were intense, he was able to mitigate them by training.
On the contrary, due to the blood pills' positive effects, he was able to throw some caution to the wind and make serious progress. By the time the blood pill's effects ran out, his progress on Boneless Man and Spiral Twin Fists would have increased by ten percent.
While Evi was making full use of his blood pills, Suzanne was much calmer. She simply sat on the bed with dazed eyes as she tightly clutched a long dagger that she had pulled out of her maid dress.
Unlike Evi and Gilan, whose skin was bright red, Suzanne's skin remained the same light brown color as before. A slight red mist hovered around her body, causing a bloody smell to fill the room.
"Suzanne is a first-rate Blood Master? Mr. Light has some strong protection." Yoze thought for a split second before pulling his mind toward finding a solution to Gilan's situation.
He thought about teaching her a body cultivation method in an attempt to let her release some steam in a similar manner as Evi but eventually shook his head.
"While I can make fun of Evi for not having the best talent when it comes to martial arts, he at least has some. But I have no idea how talented Gilan is, so trying to teach her martial arts now is a gamble."
"It might take her a few tries to truly learn a body cultivation method and even longer to make it an instinctual habit. By the time she learns a body cultivation method, she will be dead." Yoze stared at Gilan before suddenly asking her another question.
"Gilan, are you willing to join me in another experiment? If my experiment works, you will not only survive this, but you will gain immense power."
