Lu Yun opened his eyes and found everything in front of him hazy, unable to see clearly.
"Hm? Where am I?" Lu Yun wondered, reaching out and waving his hand in front of him.
Suddenly, he noticed how small his hand was.
"This... I've transmigrated into a fetus? Is this my mother's womb?" After a moment of surprise, Lu Yun accepted reality.
As a modern person, he had seen all sorts of Transmigration plots; becoming a fetus was nothing out of the ordinary.
"As long as it's not a yellow-haired old man or starting in a toilet, it's fine," Lu Yun muttered to himself.
"Oh, right, the System?"
As a Transmigrator, it would be too unreasonable not to have a System.
"System, come out~" Lu Yun called out.
However, in reality, no sound was made; after all, he was still a fetus less than seven months old.
But a phantom interface appeared before his eyes with his call.
Name: Lu Yun
Realm: None
Bloodline: Dormant (Unlockable)
Talent: None
Martial Arts: None
Points: 0
"There really is a System?!" Lu Yun was stunned.
He then began to study the System.
"I need to earn Points to use the System, but how do I get Points?" Lu Yun pondered.
He then recalled some novels he had read in his previous life, where the protagonists gained Points for self-improvement by doing push-ups and other exercises.
If he did the same, would he be able to get Points?
So, with a 'just try it' mentality, he attempted to make some movements.
However, because he was in his mother's womb and only a fetus, his movements were restricted.
Simply lifting his hand was already very difficult.
The most crucial thing was that before he even completed his movement, he vaguely heard a scream.
"Ouch~"
Outside.
In a simple room, Qiao'er, who was Lu Yun's mother in this life, suddenly screamed and touched her swollen belly.
"Good child, please be gentler," Qiao'er said, her forehead slightly sweaty, her face still showing pain, but her eyes filled with happiness.
This was the first time since her pregnancy that she had felt such a strong reaction from her child; though painful, she felt exceptionally happy.
Just then, a knock on the door caught Qiao'er's attention.
Sitting on a stool, she said, "Come in."
As her voice fell, a man and a woman walked in.
The man was dressed in fine clothes, about fifty years old, thin, and with a stern expression.
The woman was dressed as a maid, about twenty years old, holding a wooden tray with a small jade bowl containing some brown herbal medicine.
"Qiao'er, according to the Lu family rules, you must immediately take today's prenatal medicine," the man said coldly.
Qiao'er respectfully bowed and replied, "Yes, Butler Li."
Then the maid stepped forward and offered the tray.
Qiao'er took the jade bowl and drank the medicine in one gulp.
She then presented the empty bowl to Butler Li, who nodded after inspecting it.
Only then did Qiao'er place the empty bowl back on the tray.
Afterward, Butler Li and the maid turned and left the room.
Inside the room, Qiao'er stroked her belly and said expectantly, "Child, our Lu family's prenatal medicine is a good thing; it's very expensive outside. You must absorb more of it so you'll be healthy in the future, and the master will look at you more."
Although Lu Yun didn't see what happened just now, he vaguely heard most of it.
"Why do I feel like my mother's status in the Lu family isn't high?" Lu Yun was a little confused.
Could it be that she was a concubine? Or an unloved concubine?
Otherwise, she wouldn't be neglected by a Steward while pregnant.
Before Lu Yun could think further, he felt a warm current flow into his body from the umbilical cord in his abdomen.
"So comfortable~" Lu Yun couldn't help but sigh.
In two lives, this was the first time he had experienced such a comfortable feeling.
This wasn't the crucial part; the most crucial thing was that Lu Yun saw the System interface before him.
The line for Points on it actually showed a fluctuation.
"Could it be~" Lu Yun's heart stirred.
Soon, as expected, the System changed.
Name: Lu Yun
Realm: None
Bloodline: Dormant (Unlockable)
Talent: None
Martial Arts: None
Points: 1
The Points column changed from 0 to 1.
And a '+' button appeared next to the Bloodline column.
"So that's how Points are obtained?" Lu Yun's eyes lit up.
Without hesitation, he immediately added the newly acquired Point to his Bloodline.
As the Points returned to 0, the Bloodline column fluctuated but then returned to calm, just as before.
"Hm? No effect?" Lu Yun was stunned.
Then he noticed something was off.
After the Bloodline column, there was a small line of text.
Progress: 1%
"One percent? Does that mean I need ninety-nine more Points to unlock my Bloodline?" Lu Yun couldn't help but sigh.
"Forget it, there's nothing else to do but wait."
Then Lu Yun fell asleep.
After all, he was still a fetus and didn't have much energy.
...
Three months passed in a flash.
During this time, Steward Li would bring a bowl of prenatal medicine every day, and after watching Qiao'er drink it completely, he would leave.
However, as time went on, Steward Li's face became increasingly stern and unpleasant.
And besides Steward Li, no one else came to this room.
Qiao'er also rarely went out, staying in the room to peacefully nurture her pregnancy.
During this period, she often talked to Lu Yun while stroking her belly.
Lu Yun also learned about his situation from her.
This continent was similar to the feudal Dynasties of his previous life, currently ruled by the Great Liang Dynasty.
The difference was that people here were born with various unique Bloodlines, and the powerful ones could even move mountains and overturn seas.
Of course, there were also many weaker ones.
Qiao'er was an ordinary person without a Bloodline, sold to the Lu family as a maid from a young age.
One night, she was taken by the drunk Master of the Lu family and became pregnant with Lu Yun.
It was because of Lu Yun, this offspring, that Qiao'er could stop working and peacefully nurture her pregnancy, but apart from that, there were no special privileges.
After all, she was an ordinary person without a Bloodline, a servant of the Lu family.
To gain status, there was only one possibility: that Lu Yun inherited the Lu family's powerful Bloodline, and even advanced further.
At that time, with the child's status elevating the mother, even if Qiao'er's background was humble, she would become the young mistress of the Lu family.
However, this possibility was too low; the offspring of a Bloodline user and an ordinary person were highly likely to be unremarkable.
"The progress has finally reached ninety-nine percent! As long as I drink the prenatal medicine one more time, I can unlock my Bloodline!" Lu Yun, inside the womb, was very excited.
Every day, what he looked forward to most was waiting for Steward Li to come and deliver the prenatal medicine, then adding the Points.
Watching the progress bar grow gave him a great sense of accomplishment.
"I wonder what the Lu family's Bloodline is and how powerful it will be," Lu Yun anticipated.
Outside.
A knock on the door sounded, but this time, without waiting for Qiao'er's response, the door was opened.
Then a figure walked in.
"Steward Li?" Qiao'er looked at him, puzzled.
