Everyone laughed, calling me Julian Hayes’s pathetic lapdog. When Julian Hayes’s latest conquest let out soft moans from the bathtub, I’d stand obediently by the door, waiting for him to call me in to clean up. “Are you two done?” “I’ll clean up for you.” After cleaning the bathtub for the 99th time, Even Julian couldn’t help but mock me. “How can you stand it?” “Watching me with someone else, then wiping down the tub—doesn’t it disgust you?” I wrung out the rag, scrubbing hard at the lipstick stains and sticky residue on the tub’s rim. “No, it doesn’t.” “As long as it’s yours, I love it.” He scoffed. “Figures. You’re meant for dirty work, a scavenger. What kind of filth haven’t you seen?” Once the bathroom door clicked shut, I took a deep breath, inhaling the sickly sweet scent in the air. “Sweet. So incredibly sweet.” He had no idea that I, the so-called scavenger, never truly cleaned away dirt. The more women Julian Hayes slept with, the more complex the scent on him became. And the more it awakened the dormant siren bloodline within me. Julian Hayes was merely a potent tonic I’d carefully cultivated.
The panting in Julian Hayes’s bedroom had just subsided. I pushed open the door, carrying a fresh set of clothes. With a hint of eager deference, I respectfully placed the clothes in Julian’s hands. “Darling, these are clean.” While Julian changed, I quickly picked up his discarded underwear from the floor, clutching it to my chest. The sticky liquid on the underwear dripped onto my hand. Far from being repulsed, I leaned in, sniffing it carefully. The color was too yellow, the scent too strong. “Darling, you seem a bit overheated lately. I’ll ask the doctor to prescribe something for you.” Then I swiftly picked up the last sock from the floor and scurried out. All of Julian Hayes’s personal garments were hand-washed by me. His underwear and socks soaking in hot water released a decadent, sweet aroma. It tempted me to lean down and take a deep, hungry breath. Sickly sweet, mixed with all sorts of complex scents. So delicious! So satisfying! I could even feel the deep-seated siren bloodline within me stirring restlessly. At this rate, Julian Hayes needed to sleep with just one more type of woman, and then he would be ready to be refined into the Ultimate Tonic. It wouldn’t be for naught that I had painstakingly helped him find 99 different types of women before. I was about to lean in for another confirmation sniff. When Julian’s impatient voice cut through the air. “Rowan! Are you trying to fob me off with *these* clothes now?” I immediately understood, and scurried back, pulling out several bespoke power suits from the depths of the wardrobe. Then, skillfully, I helped Julian put on his socks and shoes. Julian looked at his reflection in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction. I nodded with equal satisfaction. My Ultimate Tonic, I’ve worked so hard to nurture you to this perfection. You absolutely *must not* disappoint my expectations. Julian noticed the tears welling in my eyes. Impatiently, he flicked a tissue at my face. “Haven’t you figured out your place yet, after all this time? Don’t think a few tears will make me feel anything for you.” “A dirty scavenger like you will never compare to Seraphina.” My eyes darted, and I snatched the tissue before it fell to the floor. I blew my nose hard, then, with a sniffle, cautioned him in a tearful voice: “Darling, there are many women in this house, all kinds. But Miss Thorne is different, you absolutely mustn’t…” My words were cut short by the sound of Julian storming out of the room. Leaving me with just one parting shot. “Stop with your fake act. Your filthy mouth doesn’t even deserve to speak her name.” Seeing his attitude, I breathed a sigh of relief. After all, to complete the Ultimate Tonic, he needed to lie with 100 different types of women. But there was one crucial taboo: he absolutely couldn’t touch a virgin. Otherwise, all my previous efforts would be for nothing. And Seraphina Thorne was currently the epitome of pure beauty. Julian Hayes’s beloved, whom he treasured like a precious jewel. They had grown up together, and if I hadn’t interfered, They would probably be married by now. A pang of guilt pricked me. After all, I had broken up a couple. Oh well. Once Julian was refined into the Ultimate Tonic, letting Seraphina get a whiff of him would be a good enough compensation.
After cleaning everything up, I was about to pull out my tablet to select the final candidate. But I was unexpectedly shoved to the floor by the woman standing before me. My anger, however, instantly dissolved when I saw who it was. It was truly my fault. She’d worked so hard for several nights; I’d completely forgotten to pay her. As I prepared to sign a check, I murmured, “Chloe, right? Thank you for your hard work. Here’s ten million…” Before I could finish writing the check, she tore it into shreds. Along with it came a shower of salty saliva that landed on my face. Chloe looked at me defiantly. “How does that feel, huh? Pretty sweet? My spit is absolutely saturated with Julian’s scent.” I dabbed a finger into the saliva on my face and, without thinking, popped it into my mouth. “Sweet. As long as it’s his, I love it.” I even smacked my lips, as if savoring the taste. Chloe seemed caught off guard by my reaction, stuttering in shock. “I… Julian and I have true love! You lowly scavenger, don’t try to insult our love with your dirty money!” I sighed, pulled out another check, and this time increased the amount. She was just an employee; it wasn’t easy for anyone. Besides, I didn’t want to get tangled up with her any further. Julian had already wasted enough time on her. Seeing that I wasn’t taking the bait, Chloe’s voice grew sharper, and she shoved her phone, displaying a picture, right into my face. “Last night, Julian didn’t just give me hundreds of millions; he promised the position of Mrs. Hayes would eventually be mine! This is proof!” The phone screen, almost touching my face, displayed a bizarre photo. In the picture, used condoms were tied haphazardly into a bouquet. At a quick glance, there had to be at least twenty of them. It was indeed worth millions, perhaps even more. My guilt intensified. Chloe’s resentment was understandable. After all, the workload had been pretty intense these past few days. I said sympathetically, “You can have the money, but forget about the Mrs. Hayes title.” Chloe was about to open her mouth, but I cut her off. “Don’t argue. I’ve been through this; I’m telling you for your own good.” “After all, marrying into that kind of wealth can be a bitter pill to swallow.” Every day, seeing the Ultimate Tonic right before my eyes, yet not being able to consume it. It’s just teasing. Chloe frowned, raising an eyebrow in suspicion. “So you’re doing all this just for the Hayes family’s money? It’s not because you’re madly in love with Julian?” *Hiss*. My expression shifted instantly, switching to deep affection. “How could that be? Whether it’s being on call 24/7 to serve him, or his endless affairs, I don’t mind any of it.” “As long as Julian wishes, I’d even bear him ten children a year, all boys, without hesitation.” Having said all this, I couldn’t help but shed two lines of clear tears as a dramatic finish. Chloe’s gaze, which had been contemptuous, now held a hint of respect. Seeing that it was working, I immediately pressed my advantage. I pulled two large gold bars from the safe behind me. “Although your true love is priceless, you know my feelings for Julian. If this still isn’t enough, I might have to reluctantly part with…” As I spoke, I slowly began to pull the gold back. Chloe quickly snatched my retreating hand. “Enough, Mrs. Hayes, enough! I’m willing to let you have him!” “Julian Hayes must have saved the world in his last life to have a wife like you in this one.” From the moment the gold left my hand to Chloe slamming the door shut, Less than two seconds passed. But I heard several distinct clicks and cracks. My siren bloodline was on the verge of full awakening. And gold was a siren’s favorite thing. Becoming a siren was certainly an upgrade. Even heartbreak came with sound effects now. I breathed a sigh of relief, about to call the last candidate. When the door was kicked open. It was the driver. “Mrs. Hayes, come with me, something terrible has happened!”
The black Maybach sped towards the auction house. The moment the driver opened the door, a frail-looking Seraphina Thorne came into view. Two bodyguards stood between them, holding up the auction house chairman. The chairman was an old man, his hair white with age. But now he looked utterly dishevelled. His hair was messy, and both sides of his face bore prominent slap marks. The next second, Julian Hayes’s furious voice rang out. “You old fool, how disgusting! How dare you shake Seraphina’s hand without gloves on?” “If anything happens to Seraphina, I’ll tear down this auction house and use its doors for your coffin!” Seraphina Thorne was born with an exceptionally delicate constitution. Only her fated Julian Hayes was permitted to touch her. My left foot hadn’t even crossed the threshold. When I was mercilessly dragged by a bodyguard directly in front of Julian Hayes. Julian, cradling a weak Seraphina in his arms, frantically shouted at me. “Seraphina has been corrupted by foul energy! Aren’t you the scavenger who can cleanse anything? What are you waiting for?!” While a scavenger *can* clear away impurities, I can’t exactly cure illness. I was about to open my mouth to explain. When Seraphina spoke, her voice barely a whisper. “No… foul energy can only be cured by a scavenger’s blood.” “If I had to wash my hands with my sister’s blood, I’d rather die.” Julian, hearing this, clutched the woman in his arms even tighter. “Don’t be foolish. It’s her honor, a filthy scavenger, to have the chance to save you.” “Besides, a scavenger wouldn’t die even if she was drained dry.” I listened, stunned, from the sidelines. Were these two using my life for their flirtation? But then I remembered the Ultimate Tonic was just one step away. I glanced at the basin prepared to collect blood beside me. My heart hardened. *I’ll do it!* I clutched at Julian Hayes’s pant leg, a look of martyrdom on my face. “Darling, for Miss Thorne, what is my worthless life compared to hers? Drain me!” Julian Hayes smiled, satisfied. “Good, you know your place.” The needle slowly pierced my vein. A sharp, intense pain ripped through me, and I bit my lower lip until it bled, my breathing growing shallow. The basin slowly filled with my blood. I could feel my energy almost completely draining away. I looked at Julian Hayes before me, swallowing hard. “My Ultimate Tonic… oh, no, darling, you smell so good.” The doctor nearby quickly popped a candy into my mouth. “Don’t worry, Mrs. Hayes, you’ll have your fill soon enough.”
After eating the sweet candy, my energy did indeed recover significantly. After Seraphina Thorne washed her hands with my blood, her complexion gradually became rosy. Julian Hayes wiped away his tears, relieved, and instructed someone to bring out the prepared gift. Everyone watched eagerly, curious to see the legendary “Heart of the Ocean” necklace. The moment the gift box was opened, Its contents shocked everyone. Used condoms of various colors were tied into a bouquet. Although Julian Hayes quickly slammed the box shut, Seraphina had already seen everything. Seraphina’s eyes immediately welled up with tears, her delicate face crumpling. The doctor quickly stepped in to smooth things over. “Miss Thorne, there’s a jewelry appraisal certificate at the bottom of the box. The gift was swapped. Mr. Hayes is innocent.” Julian Hayes nodded repeatedly in agreement. Seraphina skeptically reopened the box. Beneath the bouquet was a pregnancy test report with Seraphina Thorne’s name on it. Seraphina froze for a second, then a trembling sentence escaped her lips. “I didn’t, I’m innocent.” “If you don’t believe me, I’ll prove it with my death!” With that, Seraphina moved to open the first-floor window, ready to jump. Along with the pregnancy test report, a photo of me personally handing the gold bars to Chloe also fell out. The instant he saw the photo, Julian Hayes grabbed Seraphina, who was trying to kill herself, with one hand. With the other, he delivered a stinging slap across my face. “Tell me, why are you trying to frame Seraphina and me?!” Now it was my turn to say, with a snotty, tearful face, “I didn’t, I’m innocent.” The assistant quickly added, “Mr. Hayes, we’ve already investigated. This auction house was originally Mrs. Hayes’s property.” “And, Mrs. Hayes spends almost all her free time in the room upstairs.” A true CEO’s assistant, efficient indeed. I was so hungry. The scent of the Ultimate Tonic was constantly teasing me. I tried to hold back, forcing my drool to appear as tears. My voice choked. “Darling, even if your affair is real, I wouldn’t dare tell Miss Thorne!” Julian Hayes’s face darkened. “Hmph, a woman reeking of money like you doesn’t deserve to be by my side. Divorce!” Now I was truly desperate. My legs gave out, and I knelt on the floor, clutching Julian’s leg and weeping. “Darling, what meaning does my life have without you?” “Fine, divorce, but at least let me help you find the last woman first.” Seraphina was provoked by my words. While I clung to Julian, Seraphina broke free, pushed past everyone, and ran straight upstairs. The woman who usually seemed so fragile, easily knocked over. Now moved like a gust of wind; the bodyguards couldn’t stop her. Julian Hayes kicked me away. He warned: “Get lost! If anything happens to Seraphina, I’ll drain your blood and use it to water flowers!”
I chased the two of them up to the sixth floor. But I saw Julian Hayes and Seraphina Thorne enter the room at the end of the hall, one after the other. That room was the themed room I had prepared for Julian’s final encounter. Most importantly, I had already laid out the formation for refining the Ultimate Tonic on the bed inside. I hurried after them. But then I heard the sound of the door being locked from within. I didn’t give up, frantically twisting the doorknob. “Darling, open the door! Don’t do anything rash!” “Even if you truly intend to follow Miss Thorne, you must complete the final great harmony of life first!” I banged loudly on the door, but it couldn’t drown out Seraphina Thorne’s crying and fussing from inside. But gradually, The cries turned into sounds of pleasure. Julian Hayes’s husky voice emerged. “Isn’t it just about proving your purity? There are plenty of ways.” “Whether you’re a virgin or not, I’ll know as soon as I sleep with you.” Then came the sound of tearing fabric. A bad feeling immediately washed over me. “Darling, what are you doing? Miss Thorne is naturally pure; she absolutely cannot lose her innocence before marriage!” The door wouldn’t open. My Ultimate Tonic, almost within grasp, was about to fly away. I was furious. “You filthy pair! How dare you cheat on me right in front of my face! You’ve utterly disappointed me!” The intimate sounds from inside seemed to be answering my curses. Then I heard Julian Hayes and Seraphina Thorne both let out satisfied moans at the same time. My heart plummeted to rock bottom. It was all over. My siren dream was completely shattered. Just as I was sinking into despair, A golden light suddenly burst forth, blinding me instantly. The siren bloodline within my body stirred restlessly, as if responding to some ancient call. With strength I didn’t know I possessed, I kicked the door open. And immediately cast a barrier. The moment I saw my fragrant Ultimate Tonic, I felt like a mother seeing her long-lost child. I embraced my Ultimate Tonic, weeping tears of joy. I’d been hungry for so long; finally, I could sate my craving. Then I swallowed the Ultimate Tonic whole. The instant the tonic entered my mouth, My entire body felt a profound sense of relief, as if every channel had been cleared. The bloodline in my dantian instantly underwent a qualitative transformation. I knew then: my siren bloodline had been successfully awakened. Seraphina Thorne, who had been knocked unconscious by the formation’s impact, slowly stirred awake. Looking at me, she still seemed disoriented. “Where’s Julian Hayes? Don’t think you can hide him from me! Even if you have his body, you’ll never have his heart!” I curled my lips into a smile, finding it ridiculous. “His heart? I don’t think I really tasted it when I chewed him.” I held up my wrist to Seraphina, showing her the needle marks. “What you owe me, isn’t it time you paid me back?” Seraphina Thorne’s flushed face instantly turned ashen. “What do you want? If you dare hurt me, Julian Hayes won’t let you get away with it!” I let out a satisfied burp and shrugged indifferently. “Him? What’s he going to do?” “My apologies, I forgot to let you get a whiff before I ate him. But I suppose you had a taste of him in bed just now, didn’t you?” I waved my hand, casting a spell, and ten-strength slaps landed, one after another, on Seraphina Thorne’s face.
