In this journey into the world of humans, although many unpleasant things happened, she managed to delay Karina's curse a little longer.

Thus, Shirley would have more time to research and find a way to break the curse.

"Your Highness Shirley, Mama Luna is ready."

It was Eileen who spoke.

After a period of training, Delia and Eileen had become quite competent in their work as vampire servants.

Now, they accompanied Luna every day, helping her with various tasks.

Still, considering that these two carry their own blood, Luna couldn’t let them interact all the time with ordinary vampires, performing the same tasks.

"Yes."

Shirley replied irritably.

Perhaps due to past experiences, Shirley didn't like Eileen much.

However, Eileen always performed her duties with seriousness.

Even when Shirley was angry, Eileen seemed to accept punishment without protest, which made Shirley feel that if she truly punished her, it would end up seeming like mere temperamental behavior.

Upon arriving in the prepared room, as soon as she entered, Luna and Delia bowed in greeting.

Compared to Eileen, Delia had a much gentler personality, and besides, she had already tasted that delicious young blood, so Shirley actually preferred the little servant Delia.

But today, the focus was not on Delia or Eileen, but on Alyssa.

That beggar who had appeared in the White Horse city.

At this moment, she was naked, lying on something akin to an operating table.

Shirley had been eager to study that young woman's magical blood, but until now, she hadn’t had the time.

Now that all other matters were settled, she had time for her research.

Approaching the operating table, Shirley raised her right hand as if she were a surgeon, but of course, she wouldn’t use a surgical knife.

Her nails were sharper than any surgical blade.

With her elongated nails, she made a small incision in Alyssa's wrist and extracted a small amount of blood.

The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

During this process, there was no anesthesia, as Shirley needed to ensure the blood's purity and vitality.

Alyssa bit her lips, feeling pain and embarrassment, but did not dare to make a sound.

After all, she was facing ruthless vampires who killed without blinking.

The extracted blood spun above Shirley's palm, and she leaned in a bit and sniffed.

As expected...

The blood had a different scent from ordinary human blood.

It was more subtle, with a refreshing quality.

Under Shirley's control, the blood began to transform into a blood mist, spreading slowly.

After observing for a while, Shirley inhaled the entire blood mist.

After absorbing this blood, the blood inside Shirley became calmer, a peculiar sensation for a vampire.

"This blood is still not enough..."

Saying this, more blood began to flow from Alyssa’s wrist wound and gather in front of Shirley.

The blood loss seemed endless.

"Ah..."

Finally, Alyssa could no longer endure and let out a moan.

At this moment, Shirley finally diverted her attention from the blood and focused on Alyssa.

Her body trembled, her skin was as pale as a vampire’s, and there were signs of skin contraction.

If the blood loss continued, her life would be in danger.

However, it was not time to let her die, Shirley wasn’t sure if the secret of the blood could be discovered by draining it from her body.

Otherwise, letting Alyssa die now wouldn’t be worth it.

Gently moving her fingers, the blood flowing from Alyssa’s wound stopped.

Now, Alyssa had vacant eyes, dry, pale lips, and looked on the brink of death.

But Shirley knew very well that this level of blood loss would not be fatal for her.

Now, more blood appeared before Shirley, but she did not hurry to absorb it all.

First, she needed to purify the blood and uncover what was hidden.

"First, let’s restore her blood. If necessary, I’ll return for more extractions."

Saying this, Shirley made a large amount of blood float around her and moved to a nearby table.

On the table, there were several glass containers, many containing liquids of various colors.

These alchemical products were part of Shirley’s field of study and specialization, and now she would use these materials to try to unravel the secret of Alyssa’s blood.

Meanwhile, the three individuals who received orders began using some items to replenish Alyssa’s lost blood.

Since the body's natural recovery would take too long, Shirley didn’t want to wait that long.

Luna opened an opaque black vial and took out a still-pulsing heart, the size of a marble.

It wasn’t a real heart but a creation associated with magic, alchemy, and curses—a profane item.

Of course, creating this item involved the loss of lives.

They forced Alyssa to swallow this item.

Alyssa’s skin turned unnaturally red and returned to its original fullness.

The blood regenerated rapidly inside her...

And the process seemed painful...

Meanwhile, Shirley added a few drops of different colored liquids to a container with Alyssa’s blood.

The blood began to boil and form bubbles.

The volume of the blood gradually decreased until only a thin layer remained.

Then, Shirley took a peculiar monocle and placed it over her remaining eye to observe the remaining liquid in the container.

After a while, she frowned.

"This blood is still not enough..."

She returned to Alyssa and repeated the procedure.

Extracting blood, replenishing blood, extracting blood, replenishing blood...

After about four or five times, Alyssa had become a sight of...

"Too hot," "Hot enough to faint," "So hot I can’t breathe."

Finally, after Shirley purified and magnified Alyssa’s blood, she saw a faint golden glow flowing in the blood.

Undoubtedly, it was a lineage, though it seemed extremely diluted due to constant dilution.

But that was inevitable, as various reproductive factors had led to the impurity of the lineage.

Now, Shirley’s next step was to extract the power contained in the lineage...
