Chapter 33 Volgrith
"Young master Lu, then go ahead and kill us if you don't fulfil our condition," Lu Qing said, addressing him with a cold tone.
Despite hearing this, Lu Zhen maintained a cold expression on his face, but his mind was troubled. He didn't actually want to kill these twin siblings, considering their rare talents. Lu Zhi's expertise in wine and Lu Qing's skills as a physician could be valuable to him.
With those thoughts in mind, Lu Zhen replied, "Alright, tell me your condition."
Lu Qing seemed a bit relieved by his response. She continued, "Our first condition is that we won't become a monster. The second condition is that we receive resources from you."
Lu Zhen sneered inwardly but agreed readily, saying, "Alright, I agree."
Hearing Lu Zhen's quick agreement, the twins felt a sense of relief.
"Very well, we will be your servants, young master," Lu Qing stated, bowing and signaling her brother to do the same.
Understanding that this was the best outcome they could hope for, Lu Zhi also bowed reluctantly.
Seeing their submission, Lu Zhen felt satisfied. As for the deal they had made, it didn't matter to him much; after all, they were just words. Lu Zhen had a tendency to forget things, especially conditions that needed to be remembered.

"Alright, let's go," Lu Zhen said as he carried the two in his strong arms.
With a whooshing sound, he leaped back to the stronghold.
However, as he travelled, he thought of something important. Where did Yu Bai go? After the massacre he had committed, Yu Bai shouldn't be unaware of it now, as Lu Zhen had caused enough commotion to almost destroy the stronghold. Yu Bai should have noticed by now.
What if his identity, which he himself didn't know, was revealed? He could get into trouble due to this very reason, prompting him to make the twins his servants. Additionally, he was uncertain whether his current form could be considered taboo or not.
This realisation caused worry to creep into Lu Zhen's mind. He had no idea what form he was currently in or what kind of monstrous appearance he might have taken on.
From his memories, he knew of vague tales about people who possessed bloodlines containing the power of powerful beasts like dragons and phoenixes. However, these were myths from what he had heard. He didn't know if there even was a bloodline that could transform him into such a giant with black steel-like hands.
Suddenly, he felt a slight pain on his backside. Instinctively, he reached back and felt a thin, rope-like object. However he failed to notice that he had the twins in his two arms so where did the other arm come from?
"Could it be…" Lu Zhen thought to himself as he looked back slightly, and what he saw stunned him.
A small black tail had started growing on his back, seemingly out of nowhere. His face twisted into a bewildered expression as he tried to process this unexpected development.
"What? How am I growing a tail?" Lu Zhen thought with bitterness.
His expression turned into one of confusion, "What's happening to me?"
Distracted by this, his balance in the air was disrupted, and he almost crash-landed into a tree. Swiftly, he adjusted, crouching down and using his foot to strike the tree, preventing the crash.
The large tree, around 2000 metres tall, creaked under Lu Zhen's impact, but it held strong.
Using the momentum from the tree, Lu Zhen bounced back into the air with even greater force, propelling himself higher.
Boom! Boom!
Resounding booms echoed as Lu Zhen soared through the air with tremendous speed and momentum, going higher than before.
As he ascended, the random tree, standing at a height of two thousand metres, made creaking noises, struggling to bear Lu Zhen's weight and momentum, bending slightly.
Lu Zhen didn't pay much attention to it as he practically flew through the air at a rapid swiftness.
The twins were visibly shaken by the crash, landing, and subsequent flight. Their hair was in disarray, and they felt uncomfortable being carried like children by Lu Zhen. Despite being older than him, they were embarrassed by the situation.
Still failing to notice the two extra arms he had grown, Lu Zhen continued to ponder his situation.
"Wait, since it is a bloodline…"
Suddenly, realization struck him, and he swiftly summoned his system with a mere thought.

Lu Zhen finally noticed the alteration in his bloodline. It seemed that it had changed from "unawakened" to "Vorgrith." Additionally, there was a new section for attributes—demon qi—but some portions of it were still marked by question marks.
Looking at this, Lu Zhen couldn't help but feel a twinge of discomfort. As a modern man, he had always taken pride in being human and had held a certain belief in the supremacy of humanity.
Fortunately, he still retained the human bloodline, somewhat appeasing his ego. After all, humans were genuinely fascinating creatures. They often spoke of love and kindness while living in society, yet their true nature could be incredibly cruel.
Nevertheless, humans maintained a sense of unity and trust among themselves for the sake of survival. This was why, in his previous world, the blue planet, they managed to reign supreme despite them being almost the weakest in strength.
Unlike other dominant species, humans lacked strong limbs or paws; instead, they ruled through their intellect and the trust they formed with each other for the sole sake of survival. If it wasn't for this goal, he bet that humanity wouldn't have existed.
Believe it or not, humans were the most adaptable creatures.
He decided to check his status to gather more information. The question marks still lingered in the attribute and bloodline sections.
From what he could deduce, the presence of question marks indicated the potential for further growth in skills and attributes. Apart from this, he found himself unable to make any further conclusions.
As he examined the list of acquired skills, a sense of satisfaction washed over him.
Finally, he returned back to the bandit camp, prompting him to stop his pondering.
