BXBX NOVEL Chapter 165 - Unaffected
"Considering you, the scenarios are basically her trying to annoy you with something like being your friend? She does have that charming ability." Cain curiously asked.
In his heart, he has a faint premonition that this meeting maybe a little bit tenser than he realizes. In that scenario, he hopes he\'ll be able to dissolve any and everything before it can boil over.
Things are going this smoothly; after all, Cain wouldn\'t want to change this.
"Mn. Of course, you guessed it right." Amber tiredly sighed while adjusting her body to eventually stand up.
"That girl honestly can\'t accept that I don\'t care at all about being all buddies with her for whatever plans she has in mind. Hell, she can barely accept the fact that I only tolerate her cause we\'re in the same family. She\'s more prissy than anyone else here."
"And I\'ll assume that you\'re the only one with this opinion, huh? Wang was building her up to be some goddess among the crowds."
"Puu~." A light chuckle nearly escaped Amber\'s lips.
While stretching her arms, her eyes rolled on instincts as she said, "That\'s what so many like to believe. Without that damn charming abilities, she would be no different than any other Vampire. But alas, let\'s clear all negatives away. It\'ll only make this meeting drag on."
As Amber resigned herself to fate, she begrudgingly strolled up from Cain\'s body, cracking out all leftover kinks locking her body.
"That reminds me, your mother says the Charming ability is quite low. So where does it actually rank anyways?"
Because of how the conversations turned out, Cain didn\'t get a good chance to ask this yet. The most he knows is the Shadow Element is the peak of all Vampire variations abilities.
It was a real wonder to him since it flipped all that he knew about Element Energy on its head.
If just a lower rank Vampire Bloodline allows one to have a high affinity with an obscure Element, Cain could only imagine the power of bloodlines that are quite literally molded from an Element.
Even barring this, if it was possible to gain a powerful body to hold all bloodline variations abilities, just how monstrous could that person\'s strength grow?
That could honestly be heaven-defying in its own way!
And when Cain thinks further on it, he believes he could discover a way to make this reality possible.
"The Charming ranking….it\'s, I believe, around seventh ranking. Like my damn mother overly boasted, my Shadow Element is number one because….it has something to do with our ancestor."
As Amber explained, Cain only felt his curiosity grow. He doubts he\'ll get much of an answer but still asks, "Could it be that your Ancestors found some sort of Origin source linked to Shadow Energy and infused it into your bloodline genes?"
"That\'s…." Amber\'s eyebrows knitted close together. She shot Cain a stranged look as if she was gazing upon a prophet.
"Your sense of telling is quite crazy like always. But as far as I know, this is basically true. Our Ancestors used everything to their advantage to get crazily strong. And one of the original innate abilities is Energy absorption. Not at all sure how they develop the other variation abilities, but it\'s probably in some dusty ancient book."
While listening to Amber, Cain suddenly snapped his attention to the door. It was finally here that he sensed two extraordinary Aura suddenly showing up.
One was Wang, and the other had a slightly weaker presence but was on the level of some mid-rank Core students back in the Academy.
A displeased expression crossed Amber\'s face as she sensed the same Auras.
Lightly sighing to herself, Amber trudged over and opened the door, revealing Wang and a beautiful young woman.
\'So this is her?\' In the briefest of the moment, Cain swept his gaze over this young woman.
Her face was beautifully exquisite, similar to a jewel crafted of the most luminous of materials. Crimson lights glowed out of her gorgeous eyes, and a mesmerizing pink light shrouded her lips, enhancing her hypnotic allure.
Even down to her radiant silver hair, it seemed to shine brighter than small stars flowing in the night sky.
On very first impression, Cain could potentially see why they called this girl a crowd-pleaser. She honestly looked distinct enough to separate from the average, typical beauty.
Still, beyond a small remark, Cain didn\'t have any other reaction. His smile turned faint as he gave off an even look within his eyes.
And in that instance, his eyes and this young woman\'s eyes matched.
"Ah! So you must be Sir Cain! And can I say that the rumors don\'t do you any good? You\'re almost devilish handsome in person. Truly, you picked up someone fantastic, Amber."
An overflow of charm smoothly flowed of this young woman\'s lips. Her voice was sweetly melodic, akin to beautiful silver bells. It would be hard press to find any fault with listening to her.
This woman was indeed one of the Hiyashi\'s estate extraordinary geniuses, Gao. The youthful Vampire who has incredibly charming abilities.
At least, Cain was waiting for the charm to show up. He didn\'t feel his Martial Heart shake in the slightest.
"Right, right. Save you compliments for someone who cares, Gao. Just get in and get to the point." Amber sharply said, leaving zero room for discussion.
Neither Wang nor Gao were reserved, swiftly stepping inside the Villa.
As they entered, Wang promptly spoke next, saying, "Indeed. I\'m sure we all have our matters to attend to, so let\'s make this quick. The match will be held tomorrow at our dueling arena. And it won\'t be a serious hardcore match like you have continually experienced before. This is just for a test of our Martial prowess."
"You all have a dueling arena?" Cain curled his brows. "Wouldn\'t expect that over here. I thought High-Class level Families didn\'t put too much emphasis on strength."
"Hehe~. Even we need to focus on our strength, sir Cain. Our bloodline gives a lot of advantages, but we still need to rely on our Martial Talent in the future. We all have high hopes for one of us achieving a level of prowess where our status can contend with all Sects!"
Gao eagerly spoke. Her eyes held genuine excitement as she never took her gaze off from Cain once.
And the longer she stared into his handsome, calming face, the more Gao was coming to understand the massive storm behind him. Not even for a second was he charmed by any of her Natural Charming Aura.
Because of her extensive training in her bloodline Arts, Gao reached a point where she could use a small portion of power without barely any Energy.
And since evidently, Cain was at a far higher standard than all other young men her age, she\'ll need to step up the pace.
Naturally, Cain couldn\'t fathom Gao\'s thoughts at all. But he quickly noticed a strange glint slightly shimmering within her eyes. It was like her pupils shined with clear light before instantly vanishing a moment later.
This light within one\'s eyes is what Cain identifies to be the visual indicator of a glint or twinkle a person is having.
He can\'t mind read someone, but he can make a reasonable assumption that Gao was quickly forming deeper thoughts about him.
Keeping his expression still neutral, Cain asked, "Out of everyone in this generation, is Amber really the only one who\'s in a top-four organization? Surely you\'re innate advantages grants you with passes to at least forms relations with Sects just under the top four."
"We can\'t deny the possibility of that. However….let\'s just say things are always far more complicated on the surface. In the end, we\'re still only a Class-level Family background. For even organizations under the top four, this doesn\'t mean much to them. We may do business with them, but none of them fear us that much. And knowing this, you can just imagine the potential danger our bloodline can gather when leaving from the Family." Wang solemnly explained.
Even Gao\'s smile decreased a little as she said, "You know, we were actually worried about Amber going to Crimson Sea. The ways things could\'ve gone wrong for was always on the table. Thankfully, Amber\'s talent far surpasses anyone of ours."
"I see…." Cain had no waver in his tone. But he was feeling an increasing surge of annoyance.
Within his very bloodstreams, he experienced a sensation almost similar to the bloodline Aura continually permeating the Hiyashi\'s estate.
The difference this time was that Gao was personally causing this sensation. Her innate bloodline Aura attempted to subtly influence him without even noticing it.
If he was some average human, then Gao undoubtedly would\'ve easily affected him. An innate desire to fawn over Gao would\'ve been birthed, and he would felt it was the most natural thing in the world.
But of course, the supreme might of a Dragon God bloodline couldn\'t be touched.
At most, Cain was feeling a slight breeze attempting to tickle his arm.
And seeing how indifferent Cain was, a new thought streaked Gao\'s mind like lightning.
Before anyone talked next, she said, "If you don\'t mind me asking Sir Cain, are you planning on staying the night here?"
Faced with this sudden question, Cain simply shot a look over Amber. Amusement surged within him as he saw a beautiful faint blush shimmered upon her gorgeous face.
"Mn…." Only a light hum leaked out of Amber, her lips curling in a soft, shy smile.
This look told Cain everything he needed to know.
But unknown to both him and Amber, Gao and Wang simultaneously traded looks. Their eyes briefly glowed before instantly returning their attentions.
The instance they did, Cain smilingly said, "Yes, I am staying over. It will be also convenient for the match in any case."
"Ah, perfect! Then, you can take my contact ring. If you ever want to meet others in our generation, I\'m the gal you should contact. Also, I will update you when the duel will happen."
As Gao spoke, Cain received her contact ring. With no change in expression, he shoved the ring into his pocket.
And though on the surface Cain looked fine, internally, his heart went slightly cold.
Still, he spoke in a friendly tone. "I will see to it if I have any more questions.. Contact me at any time for the duel."
