“Finally Finished!” I said in a very breathless voice, it has been four hours since I started to practice and only able to circulate 5% Blood energy till now.

I can see 5% refined energy in the corner of the lake which more a clear and tiny bit of shiny compared to other water in the lake. After I finished refining my energy, I tiredly laid down the bed and thoughts of sex started to appear in my mind.

Today I am thinking about it more than I do usually, it likely because of the Carnal element of my Bloodline. It is not just due to bloodline, it is me also. I was Anorgasmic, I was one of those unlucky people who can't orgasm, which used to make me angry and frustrated, and because of this sexual frustration, I have had developed a lot of bad habits in the past.

Especially during my college day’s where everyone is high on hormones had sex like bunnies and I stood alone watching as I can't have the sexual pleasure that every human being has the right to have it. I had spent more than a million dollars on the various treatment’s but all of them were futile. So, when I got such an absolutely perfect body, I thought my dreams would come true to have an orgasm and tried to masturbate in the tub but to my exasperation, I cant masturbate and the reason is this damn fucking bloodline.

I had heard this accidentally when I was ten years old and only remembered it when I was fuming in the tub, that I can have an orgasm unless I am in the presence of the partner. It didnt matter if the partner is male or female or the partner is actively participating in sex, it's just that you have to be in presence of the partner to have an orgasm.

I shook my head tiredly if I think about sex more I will become more frustrated which makes me angry and if I am angry, I break stuff. Anyway, sex is not going to run anywhere with such an amazing body and Carnal bloodline of mine, I am confident I will get all the pleasure in the world soon enough. With that thought, I fell asleep and when I woke up It was early morning.

After getting out of bed, I went to freshen up and after that, I started doing a thing that I am doing it for the past seven years and that played a major part in setting my life straight. Yoga. I started doing it on my shrinks suggestions at first but when I saw the result, I never stopped doing it and now its been more than five years I have been doing it regularly.

It may not have much use in the world but it is one of the few things that remind me of earth and I plan to keep doing it in the remembrance of the precious world that I used to live in. Soon I lost within the familiar rhythm and when I come to myself, one and half hours already passed and I am feeling the same familiar calmness that I feel after doing yoga every day.

When I got up, I am surprised to find that there were tears on my cheek, ‘look like I am more attached to earth that I thought.’ I said to myself as I wipe off the tears from my cheek and eyes. After taking the shower, I sat cross leg again on the floor this time to practice my Energy Refinement Method.

Time is precious, I am going to leave my home in a few months time before leaving, I plan to have as much as strength possible, even little bit strenth will help me if I fall into any predicament. Soon I started my energy refinement by taking a whopping 1% blood energy for refinement.

With yesterday's practice, I have the energy node (Energy Veins) map completely memorized, so today I will not waste any time looking at energy nodes map time to time. I started to refine energy at a steady pace, my pace is neither fast nor slow, It as perfect speed which let me maximize my mental stamina at minimum effort.

Mental stamina is very important, the more I have the better and through this steady method, I plan to increase it, so I could increase the efficiency of my circulation. I once dated an athlete in the college and many times heard his coach lecture him about these things and I coincidently remembered them well.

This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author's work.

It's just that he said it all to improve the physical stamina and I am applying to improve my mental stamina and I think it will work as my parents had also given me similar tips about practicing the refinement method. Times passed by and I kept circulating my blood energy with a steady and balanced pace, though I felt tired, I kept going.

I have a target in my and I will not stop till I achieved it, so I kept circulating the energy, kept the refinement going till I achieved my target. Finally, I opened my eyes after achieving my target, now inside my heart space, I can see about 10% of a lake filled in clear and crystalline colorless blood energy which excludes very soft moonlight, it is completely different from the other 90% water in the lake which had slight red tint in it. Yesterday, I had refined 5% of the Blood energy and now I had refined 5% more and both of the time I had finished in near four hours as it is now 12 pm.

Feeling tired, I decided to take a break short break before starting refinement again. After getting up from the floor, the first thing I did was to look outside as I heard may voices from outside when I was refining my blood energy and even hearing then now. There are hundreds of car could be seen parked front our castle, not only that, there are airships could be seen coming and going outside from the airstrip near the castle. There are more people than I imagined showed up for my fake funeral, I thought with a mirthless laugh.

This funeral is an act that my family as to put whether they wanted to do it or not for my safety and theirs. I kept looking at the window for a while before returning to the table to eat lunch. This time seeing no is staring down on me, I savor the deliciousness of the meal and ate slowly to enjoy every bite of it. I have to say, the food of this world is really great, it feels like eating in a world-class restaurant. After finishing the meal, I sat on the floor and started practicing the Refinement Method again.

This time also I will not open my till I refined another 5% of blood energy. An old Ruth used to feel refining energy very boring thing but I like it very much as it gave me a challenge. Though that body is nothing in this world standard and even minuscule compared to my current, still it was very great by earth standards.

I kept refining my blood energy for time and only opened my eyes when I again fully refined 5% blood energy in this session, thus making the quantity of Refinement energy to 15%. When I opened my eyes, I found three people in the room and all of them are looking at me silently. Except for my parents, there is another person present in the room who looked to be in his early twenties with golden yellow hair similar to that of my father and very handsome face that could make women drool and panties wet just one look.

“Brother!” I said out loud and leaped toward my brother in excitement for a hug, “When did you return?” I asked as I let go of the hug. “ I had returned at dawn, I came to visit you in the morning but you were busy practicing,” he said as he ruffled my hair. Looking at the mourning white cloths they are wearing, they seemed to come back from my fake funeral.

The eyes of my father and mother looked very sad, it is likely due to attending the funeral of their daughter while they are still alive. “Ruthie, you have become even more beautiful.” said my brother in amazement as he looked me from top to bottom. I just smiled at his praise and didnt say anything, we kept talking for two hours but I noticed the eyes of my parents are still sad, it seemed that something is weighing on them. “Your uncle David had sent Aeron with a message that the King had been very bad mood recently and we shouldn't do something to test his patience.” said my mother in a heavy tone.

Hearing that my heart fell as she did not say it but I understood the implication behind her words that my days in the home have just become numbered. Our family is a small noble family (House) in the kingdom with Viscount Rank which my father held, our family is not important enough to fall into the eyes of the King who also Demigod I.

Usually, he gives a noble a month or two to either kill or sent away from their vampire kin but we thought with my father friendship with uncle David, we will get at least three month time before inquisition comes but now looks like, staying in the home even for the month would be difficult. “You rest well and be ready at midnight, we have a very important thing to do.” said mom very seriously.

I have never seen my mother this seriously, even yesterday she was not serious when she was giving me Refinement Methods and she was not this serious when she just telling me, her daughter that she won't be able to stay with them for long. “Mom, what is it?” I asked worriedly seeing her with such serious expression. “No need to worry dear, its good thing.” said my mother with a small smile, my brother also nodded as well. They didnt stay long and left after few minutes. I didnt also fool around, with this newfound sense of urgency rising inside me, I again sat on the floor and started Refining my energy.
