This was a voice that was almost compassionate. Feng Nianen looked at the Prince's kind smile and couldn't believe that the cruel words came from his mouth. His body trembled violently, and his short, thin hair swayed in the air as his head swayed.
"No, I want to be human! I still have a father, and I still have to take care of him in his old age. I'm only twenty-two years old, I don't want to die, I don't want…"
"You're not dead, boy. What's dead is just a fragile human body. You're strong now, so of course you can still take care of your father. Decades of time is no different from a second to us. You have eternal youth and life, which is what many people dream of but can't get.”
" I don't want to…" Feng Nianen looked at him, sobbing." I don't want all this. I just want to be like before. I will grow old and die. I just want to be a human. Please, Prince, let me be a human. Let me be a human again!"”
The prince sighed and looked at Ruoya. "This is the first time I've seen someone who wants to leave after joining the Blood Race.”
"Yeah, it's my first time, my first time…"
"You sound a little sad. Ruoya, does this remind you of something unpleasant?”
Ruoya lowered her eyes and said in a low voice," No, Your Highness. There's nothing unpleasant. But what about him?"”
The prince looked at Feng Nianen, who was in pain, and frowned slightly. "Take him away first. We'll talk about it after he calms down in two days.”
"Then I won't disturb you anymore." After she bowed elegantly, she pulled Feng Nianen out of the black and silver wooden door.
The prince looked at their backs and could not help but think of Cang Ya, who was still locked up in the detention room. "Look at the trouble you've caused, boy.”
Feng Nianen was sent back to his room in a daze. The prince's kind voice kept echoing in his ears.
"You're not dead, boy. What's dead is just a fragile human body. You're strong now. Of course, you can still take care of your father. A few decades is no different from a second to us. You have eternal youth and life. This is something that many people dream of but can't get…"
Then, Lan Ya spoke in a glass-like voice.
You have an endless lifespan and all kinds of abilities that humans dream of. There are no legal restrictions other than the Camarila Convention. Oh, of course! You have to respect our Prince…No matter how you look at it, being a ghost is better than being a human.
Being a vampire was indeed better than being an ordinary human, but every time Feng Nianen thought of the word 'eternal', a fear rose in the depths of his heart. Although he had never experienced eternity, he was afraid of this thing.
This fear, these two simple words always pulled him back to those three sunny days, the three deaths he had faced in his life…
He had always been content with his current life, even though Zhang Hanwen, who he served, always played with him like a fool. Even though he was mediocre in both appearance and status, he still felt satisfied. He only hoped that life would progress bit by bit in the direction he worked hard for, and not, not suddenly become a ghost...
Every time he thought of this, he felt a sense of resentment towards Cang Ya, who had caused him to become like this. "Why me? Why did you turn me into this?”
He was so content to be an ordinary human being, never thought of immortality, never desired anything beyond his own hard work, so why did he have to become like this?
"Because you were an accident."
Feng Nianen opened his eyes and saw Ruoya leaning against the door frame. Her porcelain-like face was even more translucent on the gilded black door frame.
"Accident?"
"Originally, our candidate was someone else, but because you actually saw the ghost fire that you shouldn't have seen, Cang Ya misunderstood and made you his relative.”
"Accident? I was just an accident?"
Feng Nianen screamed. Although he had always been a calm person, his words had stirred up a rare anger in him.
"I don't want this accident! You can't do this! Change me back! Change back…"
He rushed forward and shook Ruoya angrily. Ruoya shook her shoulders slightly and pushed him away effortlessly.
"If you can't calm down, I can only ask the prince to see you another day.”
"See the prince?" Feng Nianen took a deep breath." No, no, I can calm down! I want to see the Prince!"
Ruoya looked at him coldly.
"I promise! I promise I won't lose my composure."
Ruoya turned around." Let's go."
"I believe that after these two days, your mood has calmed down, right, boy?”
Feng Nianen took a deep breath and let the slightly bitter chrysanthemum fragrance in the hall calm the excitement in his heart.
"Yes, Prince."
"Very good. It seems that we can finally formally introduce ourselves. I am a prince. In human terms, I am the local tyrant of this city. However, as long as you don't violate the Camarila treaty and maintain proper respect for the members of the Blood Clan, you will never have to fear me. You have your own relatives…"
"No, Prince. I'm sorry to interrupt you, but I have to say this.”He licked his dry lips, hoping that he could keep his calm." I have to say, Prince, I still want to be a person.”
The prince smiled." Boy, what's so good about being human?”
"Yes, I know. You are superior to others, but, but I still want to be a person. I am a person, and I don't want to become another…another life.”
"Looks like you still haven't figured it out. Perhaps I should let you think about it for two more days.”
"No, I can't! I've thought a lot, a lot, really!”Feng Nianen quickly defended himself, anxiously letting the blood flow from his veins to his pale skin.
"If that's the case, I have no choice. We can turn humans into vampires, but we can't turn vampires back into humans.”
"No, I can't! I don't believe it! There must be a way! " Oh, I'm sorry…" Feng Nianen took a deep breath again when he realized that his tone was too agitated.
"It's alright."
"I heard that it was an accident that I…I turned into you.”
"That's right. We've already investigated and found out that you and the original candidate were born on the same day, same month, and same year. Although there's no precedent for this, I think it might be because of this that you saw the ghost fire that you shouldn't have seen.”
"Same year, same month, same day?" Feng Nianen was stunned and thought for a moment." The original candidate was Miss? Hmm, I mean Zhang Hanwen?"
The prince nodded.
" Then maybe we can fix this mistake, I mean... if she wants to, if she wants to..."
The prince shook his head." Impossible, boy. Of course we can make her join the Blood Clan, but we can't make you change back.”
"But this was an accident! The accident shouldn't have happened. I shouldn't have become like this! I must change back. You have the responsibility to make me change back.”
"An accident that has already happened cannot be called an accident anymore.”
"But, but…"
The prince made a gesture, and the bats in the shadows of the curtains flew over.
"Bring Cang Ya to the detention room.”
The bat flapped its wings and circled in the air, but it did not fly away.
"Go!"
The bat cooed a few times and flew out of the hall unwillingly.
"No buts, boy. You'll meet your elder relative in a moment. Yes, the one who made you a member of the Blood Clan. He's being punished for this accident. Originally, these…Ah…He was here.”
When Feng Nianen heard this, he was about to turn around to take a look when he saw a black figure appear in the hall like lightning.
"This thing says you called me, Prince.”
A boy about ten years old raised a bat's leg and smiled at everyone present.
"I think I should let you meet your own junior.”
"Ah, junior!" Cang Ya glared at Feng Nianen." Not bad, junior. I heard from Lan Ya that his physique is not bad. He did not disappoint me completely."”
"Release White Crow, Cang Ya."
"White Crow? Are you talking about this dark thing? Ah, sorry."
Cang Ya released his hand, and the bat immediately flew into the shadows as if it had been pardoned.
"Alright, come and formally meet your junior. For the next half a year, he will be temporarily handed over to Ruoya.”
"I bit him. You can't hand him over to anyone else!”His face immediately darkened.
"Cang Ya." Ruoya reminded him," Don't speak to the Prince like that. You have violated the treaty, but you are only confined for half a year. The Prince is already very merciful.”
"He's my junior. Only I can teach him. Ruoya definitely can't.”
"I'm only temporarily taking care of him in your place. His elder relative is still you, Cang Ya.”
"Don't forget, Cang Ya, this opportunity was originally Ruoya's. Although you took it from her…"
"I gave it to him, Prince. I gave up this opportunity.”Ruoya interrupted without waiting for him to finish.
"Alright, Ruoya gave up on his own accord. However, Ruoya also has the responsibility and authority to this person. I've decided to let the two of you be his eldest relatives.”
Cang Ya glared fiercely at the prince, his long and narrow phoenix eyes flashing with anger.
"Isn't it good?" The prince smiled." This is like human parents raising their young children together. If you are really unwilling…"
"Alright, we'll do as you say.”
Although she still had a straight face, her long and narrow phoenix eyes were no longer filled with anger.
"I don't want to!" Feng Nianen finally couldn't help but shout," I don't want to! I have my own father. I don't need any long-term relatives or teachings…"
"No need?" Cang Ya sneered." Do you know how to avoid the pursuit of hunters? Do you know how to recover as soon as possible after being injured? Do you know how to find a new one to replace a missing part? Do you know how to hunt for the blood you need? Do you think it's so easy for vampires to survive? Without the guidance of your parents, you can just wait to be shot into the heart and turn into dust!”
" No, no…" Feng Nianen panted heavily." I didn't mean that." I, I just, just want to be a human. I don't want to become a ghost! Don't become like you!"
Like moonlight shining on the grass, Cang Ya walked in front of Feng Nianen and said gently,"What did you say?"
"I, I don't want to be a ghost…"
Bang! Almost at the same time as he finished speaking, Feng Nianen was thrown onto the stairs by a huge force.
"Don't be a ghost. How dare you say that!”
Cang Ya came to Feng Nianen like a shadow and lifted him up again.
"Stop, Cang Ya!"
Ruoya quickly ran up the stairs.
"Stop? Sure!" Cang Ya casually threw Feng Nianen onto the floor.
"Cang Ya!"
"This guy's brain is filled with water. I'll wake him up.”
"Alright, Cang Ya." The prince helped Feng Nianen, who was dizzy from the fall, up." You can't blame him.”
"Can't? Letting him join the Blood Clan was a great gift, and he actually dared to say that he did not want it! If not for that damned accident, he would not have such luck in another thousand years!”
"He didn't join the Blood Clan voluntarily.”
"Whether it was voluntary or not, he has to be grateful!”
The prince sighed and turned to Feng Nianen. "Are you alright?"
"What can happen? I only dropped him twice. Can he still get a concussion like a human?”
"It's, it's fine."
Feng Nianen shook his head. Although he was a little dizzy, it was not too serious.
"You really don't want to join the Blood Clan?”
Feng Nianen was stunned. The dizziness made him pause for a moment before he realized what the prince had said.
"Think carefully. Are you really unwilling?”
"Prince!" Ruoya exclaimed.
The prince smiled and made a reassuring gesture.
"Yes, yes, I know that you are better than humans. I also know that this is my luck, but…but I still want to be an ordinary human.”
"Ordinary humans? That's impossible, boy. There are only two paths for the Blood Clan. If you don't want to, you'll die.”
"Die?"
"Disappear forever and turn into ashes.”
"But…but there must be another way, right?”Feng Nianen stuttered," There must be another way. There must be, there must be!”His hasty tone was more like self-consolation than affirmation.
The prince shook his head." As far as I know, there isn't. Although…that's impossible. For the Blood Clan, there are no other choices.”
"But…but forever…"
Feng Nianen clenched his fists tightly. He could only hear the sound of his heartbeat.
Thump thump…
Forever, forever…
"No, there must be another choice. Please tell me, Prince, please tell me…"
"No, at least as far as I know…no.”
"As far as you know? That meant that someone else might know?”Feng Nianen raised his head eagerly." That means there must be a way, but no one has found it yet. As long as we find it, we can…"
"Give up!" Cang Ya said bluntly," The Blood Breed has existed for a longer time than you can imagine. If there was a way, it would have been found long ago. The Prince can be said to be one of the oldest Blood Breed members. If he doesn't know, no one else will know either.”
Cang Ya's cold and heartless words did not calm Feng Nian 'en down. He continued to mumble like a demon,"As long as we find it, as long as we find it…"
"Even if there is, it's impossible for you to find it!”
Feng Nian 'en still ignored Cang Ya's cold mockery and looked at the prince fervently.
"You want to find this impossible possibility?”
"Give me a chance."
"What chance? It's already your great fortune to be able to join the Blood Race now. What other chance do you want?”
If Ruoya hadn't stopped him, Cang Ya would have charged forward again.
"Please, Prince, give me a chance. Even if it's impossible, please let me try. Please let me try.”
His pleading voice was choked with sobs.
"Alright then…"
"Prince!" Cang Ya angrily rushed past Ruo Ya's obstruction." You can't agree! He is my junior!"
"How long do you need?" His calm face was still smiling at Feng Nianen, who had his head lowered and was pleading.
Feng Nianen raised his head. He couldn't believe that he could get the gift he wanted so quickly.
"I can't let you keep trying. Give me some time.”
"Prince!" Cang Ya shouted angrily," You can't do this! I won't allow you to agree to this request!”
"Three, three years. Just give me three years. I promise that if I can't find one in three years, I'll come back and officially join you.”
" Three years isn't long, but…" The prince looked at Feng Nianen's panicked face and smiled."I can stop the other members of the Blood Breed from disturbing you for the next three years, but you have to know that this means that you are not under the protection of our race. You have to hide from the hunters who are hunting us and the violent Blood Breeds who are wandering around. You haven't learned how to use the abilities of the Blood Breed yet, so you are as fragile as a baby to them. You might lose your life in these three years.”
"Yes, yes, I know, I know. I, I will be careful.”
"Then, you can leave now.”
"Now?" Feng Nianen looked at the prince in disbelief. When he saw the prince nod at him, he thanked him profusely." Thank you! Thank you. I will cherish this opportunity and keep my promise.”
"You know what? A boy." The prince rubbed his short hair." The right choice for you should be to stay here and learn how to protect yourself under the guidance of your parents. Then, you can look for the impossible.”
"Why did you let him go? Why did you agree to it?" Cang Ya angrily roared at the prince.
"Why can't we let him go?"
"I'm his eldest relative!"
"But I am your prince."
A faint smile appeared on his gentle lips.
"Cang Ya, he'll still come back. It's impossible for him to find that method. Give him some time to calm down and experience the superiority of being a vampire.”
"Naturally? Humph!"
"Even if you lock him up here and tie him up, he's still unwilling. Even if you use force to force him to yield, what's the use? Moreover, do you want to create another Yi Ya?”
Thinking of that violent vampire who killed his own kin, even the stubborn Cang Ya couldn't help but feel a chill.
"Then you can give him half a year. After half a year, I'll be released from confinement.”
The smile on the prince's lips deepened." I said not to let anyone disturb him, but will you listen?”
Cang Ya also laughed, but he still mumbled," Who knows if he will be killed during this period of time. Although that fellow is ugly, he is still my junior. If I let him die like this, I will be laughed at.”
"About this." The prince looked at Ruoya, who had just returned from outside the door." I don't think you need to worry at all.”
Feng Nianen, who was sent out by Ruoya, took some time to figure out where he was. He was no stranger to this place. On the contrary, this was one of the streets he was most familiar with. It was also because of this that he could not believe that the vampire's residence was on the same street as the Zhang family's mansion.
From the outside, although the house was huge, it was not very eye-catching. Who would have thought that the interior was so gorgeous, and who would have thought that the person living in the house was not a human!
Feng Nianen swung his weak legs. The seductive sunset made him a little uncomfortable. He wanted to go back and see his father first, but how was he going to explain his disappearance these days? As he thought about it, he suddenly heard a horn behind him, so he moved to the side of the road.
He fell into the valley? No! The place where he disappeared was flat ground.
Was it taken away by a wild beast? Please! What kind of wild beast would appear in the city and take away a 1.8-meter-tall, young and strong living person like him?
Kidnapped? Then how did he escape? What did those robbers look like?
He thought of a few reasons in a row, but he could not justify himself.
Moreover, there were no wounds on his body. Even the bite mark had disappeared.
"I can't say that I was kidnapped by a group of extraterrestrials!”
Feng Nianen shook his head dejectedly. He was so focused on finding an excuse that he didn't notice someone standing in front of him until he almost bumped into them.
"S-Sorry, I didn't mean it.”He looked up." Miss?"
"Dumb, Dumb? Idiot! Idiot…"
Zhang Hanwen slowly stretched out his arm and caressed Feng Nianen's face." Idiot?”
"Miss?"
Feng Nianen blinked. For a moment, he couldn't associate the haggard face in front of him with the Zhang Hanwen in his memory. In his impression, even when he had a high fever, that delicate face was still sickly beautiful.
"Idiot! Idiot! Idiot…"
Zhang Hanwen called out repeatedly. He threw himself into Feng Nianen's arms and hugged him tightly.
Feng Nianen stood there in a daze for a while before hesitantly saying,"Did something happen? Miss?"
This soft question was like a deafening thunder. Zhang Hanwen suddenly pushed Feng Nianen away, turned around, and asked coldly,"Where did you go?"
"Ah?" He was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
"What? Where have you been all this time?”Zhang Hanwen suddenly turned around and glared at him fiercely." You've been missing for four days. Where have you been these past four days?”
" I, I don't know…" Feng Nianen stammered, his eyes darting around." I, I don't know…I was missing."”
"You don't know?" Zhang Hanwen growled," You've been missing for four days, and now you're telling me that you don't know where you've been?”
"Yes, yes." He licked his lips." I, I have no recollection at all. I…I only remember looking for Miss, and then, and then I saw a ball of light. After that, I have no recollection…"
"No impression?"
He quickly nodded." Really, I really forgot."”#
