The Chaos Dragon Prince

Chapter 160 - Bloodline Transfusion

Cain's tone held even respect. Even barring that they were Amber's parents, the fact they both can didn't back down because of his own great status was worthy of some out respect. 

"Mn. A very promising young man indeed." 

Mr. Hiyashi's whole temperament suddenly shifted. When his thoughts were confirmed, all of his previous excitement vanished. Now, there was a simple causal expression plastering his face. 

"Indeed he is. One of the most promising I met in a long while." 

Similarly, Mrs. Hiyash's temperament shifted to lethargy. Her eyes-lids half dropped, and a soft smile similar to Amber's graced her face. 

And when seeing her parent's expression so causally shifted on the drop of a dime, an immense sigh of relief spewed from Amber's lips. "Thank god they're like this….hopefully, it won't get any more troublesome." 

Cain didn't even comment on it. He wordlessly clasped Amber's hands, uncaring if her parents were right in front of them.

A gesture Amber highly appreciated. She visibly relaxed, her smile blooming into pure joy as her body shuddered in warmth. 

This pure expression of bliss didn't go unnoticed by Amber's parents.

It was entirely like they expected a young man who garnered a mighty reputation behind him. Bold and caring without the stuffy sense of overflowing pride from many other spectacular youths his age.

Their soft smiles turned even more genuine, as if they just had found the most outstanding gift in the world. 

Mrs. Hiyashi then said, "Please, young Cain, you can refer to me as Senior Joy and him as Senior Amiel. We don't want any distance between us, so we insist. Come, let's sit and talk."

Joy's tone was honest, not even closely matching what's usually expected from these types of meetings. 

Certainly, Cain was expecting something a little more intense. Especially considering in their universe, status and face hold the utmost value, just below absolute strength. 

But when thinking deeply about this situation, Cain realized it would be weirder if Amber's parents didn't act this way.

Their traits are virtually an odd amalgamation that partially makes up Amber. And since things are going so smoothly, Cain wouldn't take a chance to mess this up.

He simply nodded towards Amber's parents and calmly pulled Amber towards one of the couches. Lounging into the couch, Amber was quick to put her entire weight on Cain's body.

With how smooth things were progressing, she realized she was overly worrying, just like a fool. 

Of course, Cain could simply deal with that familiar calming smile.

Sighing a little bit, Amber naturally couldn't suppress her increasing bliss. She didn't even register the embarrassment of showing off affection in front of her parents.

Joy and Amiel were quick to follow, lounging on the opposite couch, sitting in a similar affection style. Though, Joy showed more restraint, opting to only tightly grasp Amiel's hands.

"So. We just need to clear this up first. Just how did you get our lazy little dear to open her heart? We've been trying for so long but with so little success." Joy promptly opened the discussion.

She dived straight into a deep topic without any prior small talks or natural build-up. 

And listening to this, Amber's eyes instantly widen, her lips twisting into a hauntingly purse.

She huffed, saying, "Discussing something like this isn't necessary at all. In fact, this is just too quick to instantly jump into! And you say I lack social awareness."

"Hoh? So now you're aware of this? Ah, it really is enlightening to see. Young Cain truly changed our little girl so much." Amiel decided to cut into the discussion, having his own soft, teasing smile.

"You two…." As Amber was getting increasingly riled up. 

Cain stayed calm and intrigued. If these two powerful experts are simply laid back like this, it'll be straightforward to talk and gather some more information about them.

Ever since he got here, their Vampire bloodline Aura continually piqued Cain's interest. 

He suddenly spoke up, saying, "Amber and I don't really have this grandiose story. But as a guest here, I feel like it would be better if I were to know about you two Seniors. Such as how you live so secluded from everyone else yet your bloodline Aura is the strongest here."

"Oh? So you have an interest in this?" Joy ran her eyes up and down Cain's calm form. Suddenly a glint sparkled within as she finally realized a critical fact. 

"Ah! Ever since the start of our meeting, you didn't look the slightest bit pressured. You see young Cain, our specific Vampire Bloodline genes never diluted the slightest through our generations. We are as pure as they come. Because of it, we can grant ourselves an easy-going life rather than all the political strife. And the natural Bloodline Aura we exude would be at a far higher level than the rest of the estate."

"I didn't realize your Family has such a long-running history. I'm sure with your purest bloodline, you two were similarly Martial geniuses back in your generation, right? Even from just your presence, it's very evident to tell you both are monstrous experts. Even higher than most high-level Elder I've encountered from the Academy."

At this point, Cain had taken reigns of the conversation. 

Seeing it done so smoothly, Amber was impressed. The legitimate sparkle twinkling within her parent's eyes was rare to see when they dealt with new people.

But then again, everyone appreciates it to be praised. Especially when it comes from someone like Cain, whose status honestly surpassed nearly everyone in her noble Family.

Like this, Amber remained silent and also felt a pang of curiosity over her parent's answer. She never bothered to ask before. 

And Amiel was the one to say, "A very good eye you have on you. In fact, you can say our situation was a bit similar to my daughter and yourself. Joy and I were indeed incredible Martial Talent of our generation. Initially, I didn't originate from the Hiyashi Family. All of my Talent was what I was simply born with. Because of it, I was sorted into the same ranking as Joy. And after a romantic meeting with Joy, where our love quickly blossomed, I transitioned into a pure, perfect Vampire. From then on, we were known as the silvery couple with terrifying Martial prowess. "

As Amiel spoke, Cain curled his brows. His mind flashed back to the Sword Sage's cave, specifically when Amber helped save his life. 

She certainly injected him with some of her blood essence. But all that did was strengthen his vitality. 

A slew of questions swirled in Cain's mind, so he asked, "So even though you were transitioned into a Vampire, the bloodline still stayed so pure?"

Joy nodded, saying, "Mn. This is due to my genetic Vampire Bloodline being an extremely rare case in which it can perfectly fuse with another Bloodline's Yang essence. My husband human bloodline just so happened to be incredibly pure as well, virtually untainted by all impurities other humans have. So when I performed the blood essence fusion ritual, it was a 100% success. Our essence perfectly combined, allowing neither of our bloodlines to dilate."

Towards the end of her explanation, Joy's smile instantly snapped to a more teasing curl. She continued to speak. 

"Now then, how come our little Amber didn't perform this on you yet? Evidently, she's madly in love with you. And the ritual works perfectly when your Martial Hearts are in complete sync with each other. Don't tell me you're still too shy about this, Amber? You can't let that go on! You have to claim your man as soon as possible! It's how your father and I fell for each other even more."

"Huu~!" Amber intently glared, her cheeks flaring up a beautiful vivid shade of red. "I don't need relationship advice from you, mom! And besides, Cain and I are perfectly happy with the pace of our relationship!"

Though he's not saying it, Cain also felt perfectly content with the movement of their relationship. But he wasn't focused on Joy's teasing. 

Instead, he was still highly intrigued by this bloodline fusion.

Was a bloodline transformation this intense? Naturally, Cain had no way to know how Amiel looked like in the past. But his current appearance basically didn't have any trace of his previous human bloodline.

If one doesn't know of his past, you can completely write him off as the noblest of all Vampires. 

Thinking deeply about this, Cain assumed his Dragon God bloodline is too powerful to be affected, and Amber's parents were most likely hiding something else.

Surely, a virtually heaven-defying process such as changing every part of one's bloodstream can't be such an easy process. It's highly probable that there were many difficult trials and tribulations needing to be crossed over.

But of course, Cain didn't call out his questioning. Heavy topics like this served no place even after the first couple of meetings. 

Putting his thoughts into order, Cain spoke next, saying, "Senior Joy, Amber's right. Even without this bloodline ritual, my feelings for Amber won't waver in the slightest. But also, I will always be up for it whenever she does want to perform the process."

"Cain…." Amber quietly muttered. 

Her expression slightly scrunched as she, too, recalled the Sword Sage cave. But she quickly suppressed those thoughts, returning to her pure blissful face.

It happened in such a brief moment, but Joy and Amiel were quick enough to notice. Though, neither bothered to pursue this topic. 

Shifting the discussion, Joy spoke in a bright tone. "Really, a good young man you are. Now you got both of us curious. You can at least tell part of what your first romantic meeting was like. Or….at least the first greeting if little Amber is still too embarrassed for it."

Amber simply lightly huffed but didn't speak further, signaling for Cain to take care of all the stories. 

Wryly smiling, Cain sheepishly scratched his cheek and said, "I don't think it'll be too interesting.. But, our very first meeting was a bit dynamic."
