After helping Luo Yuan create another drop of Lifeblood Essence, Lu Chen opened his mouth and said, "Your original Lifeblood Essence has lost its effectiveness, you are now free."
Luo Yuan hastily knelt on the ground, continually kowtowing and saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will lay down my life in your service from this moment forward, steadfast until death."
Lu Chen spoke without mercy, "To tell the truth, as for subordinates like you who change allegiances mid-way, I do not trust you completely. After all, if you could betray my Fifth Imperial Brother today, perhaps you might betray me tomorrow."
Luo Yuan immediately understood Lu Chen's meaning, and without hesitation, he took out the Lifeblood Essence that Lu Chen had just condensed, "Your subordinate is willing to entrust my Lifeblood Essence to Your Majesty!"
Lu Chen spoke expressionlessly, "I'm not interested in your Lifeblood Essence. If I am able to help you condense Lifeblood Essence anew, so could others."
