The Gentleman at the End
Chapter 388 - Chapter 388 Chapter 387 Hyperchylomicronemia

Chapter 388: Chapter 387: Hyperchylomicronemia Chapter 388: Chapter 387: Hyperchylomicronemia He unleashed her hair band and stripped off his clothes.

Yi Chen wrapped himself only in a scarf (limited edition grape pattern), covering his neck and mouth and nose as he submerged his body into the bathtub.

Principal Desline still maintained the same position, lying on the outside of the bathtub. One of her hands rested on the bottom of the tub, releasing Star Particles through her skin, slowly increasing the concentration of the bathwater to a limit. It was considered an ‘Equal Exchange’ for the massage.

Of course,

this was an equivalence that Principal Desline personally acknowledged,

these Star Particles from the Old World were beyond valuable. If collected in a substantial quantity and shaped into Star Fragments, they could even fetch a good price with the Duke.

While the concentration in the water had not yet reached the standard, Yi Chen didn’t hesitate to strike up a conversation again with the Principal, picking up the topic from where they left off.

Several key phrases – “Starfall,” “Stargazer,” “Platinum Blood” – intrigued Yi Chen, especially since he was likely to come into contact with these things in the future.

However, there was something right in front of him that intrigued Yi Chen even more.

“Principal… what is your illness?”

“Astrology Variant – Astrology Hyperchylomicranemia,” a kind of semi-hereditary disease mutation. For this, I have to thank my miserable and pitiful family; I was born with familial hyperchylomicronemia, which simply means my blood is white.

Later, when I went to the Old World and came into contact with the Stargazers, this family hereditary illness was recognized by them; they even saw me as a ‘kindred spirit from the other side of the world.’ From the remains of a Stargazer, I received a perfectly matching Relic which allowed me to breakthrough and acquire this unique disease.”

As she spoke, Desline even lightly cut the tip of her finger.

A drop of blood that resembled milk flowed out, mixed with Star Particles, occasionally shimmering with a platinum sheen.

She slowly moved her finger forward, deliberately placing the blood-dripped fingertip in front of Yi Chen,

“My blood is a ‘direct channel’ connecting the Stargazer community. All the Star Particles that come from the Old World emerge through the blood and are sent to every part of the body via the heart.

Every drop of my blood is incredibly precious. Consuming it directly might have a unique taste; don’t you want to…”

Before she could finish her sentence, snap! Yi Chen grabbed Desline’s fingertip.

She was surprised by this sudden act and was expecting him to suck on it when Yi Chen, through control of skin, spread the surface of his own fingertip over hers like a Band-Aid, sealing the wound.

“Principal, you’ve done more than enough for me. Besides, my self-control isn’t that strong~ If I can’t stop after this one sip, I’m afraid even massaging your legs for a month would not make up for it…”

Desline pulled her finger away with a swift motion and stood up, heading out of the bathroom, “Alright! The bathwater concentration is about right, you soak in here for a day then.

I still have to enter the state of Foreknowledge, to ensure that the transfer ceremony goes without a hitch.”

“How long does the ‘transfer ceremony’ usually take?”

“Each generation’s First Gentleman had a different duration for the transfer, and with each successor, the ceremony time has been increasing… The last one took three days and three nights, this time it might take even longer.”

“Got it, go on with your work, Principal.”

As the Principal left, Yi Chen gradually let his body sink into the warm bathtub,

when his field of vision leveled with the water surface, his consciousness, along with that of the little grape, was brought into the depths of deep space, towards the far and profound expanse of the stars, curling up and floating.

From a distance,

the silver-haired Yi Chen resembled a nascent silver moon. On his surface grew a quivering Evil Sun and several scattered pupil stars, each part of the whole yet independent of one another.

Outside the bathroom,

Principal Desline did not enter the usual state of Premonition; it was merely an excuse to leave.

The transfer ceremony required neither her assistance nor supervision; everything proceeded within the confines of Divine Skin Mansion.

Holding a wine glass, leaning on the balcony,

her star-shining eyes were not on the school grounds but on the skin on her finger.

The wine glass swayed, and his lips moved slightly, “Leave this place… Perhaps it will be a very long time before that happens, at least until the Grey Zone spreads over, and Zion becomes uninhabitable for humans.”

However,

when Principal Daislin was engulfed in a strange premonition fantasy, a surge of strong energy flowed out of the office, yanking her back to reality.

“It has only been three hours… Has William drained the bathtub filled with Star Particles that quickly? And he even advanced to the next level with the plague, reaching an Epidemic Value of [3]?”

Principal Daislin pushed open the bathroom door, and a beautiful sight greeted her eyes.

Countless water droplets floated in zero gravity throughout the bathroom,

and silver-haired Yi Chen was among them,

being in a ‘Star Floating’ state of consciousness, he hadn’t yet felt the increase in his Epidemic Value, still immersed in the perception of Star Formations, oblivious to the Frame that had always been hidden but had now floated up above his head on its own.

The Organization highly respected a gentleman’s privacy, never demanding to inspect or register details of the ‘Frame,’ and it was not a subject of inquiry among one another, with only a few choosing to display it voluntarily.

This was the first time Principal Daislin had seen Yi Chen’s illness Frame.

The mottled and aged brass Frame seemed to have been ravaged by the long passage of time, and the ‘Brain Relief’ at its starting point was even more peculiar, shifting intricately depending on the viewing angle, creating an illusion of a living, wriggling spectacle, yet this brain covered in Black Liquid had long been completely dead.

The liquid within the Frame was equally bizarre, desolate and black, but occasionally rippled, as if heralding the onset of rebirth.

When Principal Daislin tried to look at the title and name on the Frame, it was obscured by a black fog, impenetrable to her sight.

“William, the secrets you hide may not be less than Galon’s, huh? Let me see how exactly you float…”

Principal Daislin tapped the ground with the tip of her soft foot, and as her body ascended, her gown slipped off her figure.

Her body, like jade and fluid, swiftly merged with the special environment of the bathroom, quickly entering the same floating state as Yi Chen, using the Star Particles released from her palm to achieve a connection of consciousness between them.

[Three Days and Three Nights]

The floating seemed lengthy, but for Yi Chen, engulfed in the Star River, it was but a momentary episode.

By the time Yi Chen opened his eyes again, it felt as though he had just slept, his body neatly touching down, his foot perfectly in contact with the floor, whorls of starlight flowing across his skin, subjectively displaying his ‘Star Nebula Body.’

With his hair tied up in a bun and donning his clothes,

Yi Chen sniffed the air in the bathroom, “Hmm? Is that the scent of blood mixed with the fragrance of milk… Did Principal Daislin visit not long ago?

And during my contemplation of the stars, I kept feeling something soft pressing against my back. This touch seemed to improve my perception efficiency significantly.”

With a single step,

Buzz! Yi Chen arrived at the bathroom doorway two meters away,

he was now capable of ‘Space Movement’ within three meters, and it consumed less energy than before. Undoubtedly, as his comprehension of the stars grew, so would this distance.

He pushed open the bathroom door,

The principal, enveloped in Star Nebula ribbons and cradling a miniature celestial body, floated in the central area of the office, in the state she referred to as the Prophet.

Such a state was obviously not to be disturbed. As Yi Chen prepared to leave a thank-you note and make his departure, Principal Daislin’s voice, as if awakening from a dream, came from behind.

“Where are you planning to go?”

“Principal, you’re awake~ I’m about to visit the tailor association. I had agreed to return some books before my promotion, and now I need to hurry and deliver them to Mr. Spacy.”

“You’re preparing to start your long journey thereafter, correct?”

“That seems to be the case, I might prepare a bit more.”

“Make sure to come back alive.”

“Certainly.”
