The mark disappears
I thought that as one of the founding ancestors, I would be quite free, but I didn't expect that Pani would go to the conference room from time to time to discuss things, and the things were basically about the infighting among the founding ancestors.
"Is your internal strife serious?" Fan Liye asked.
"Some ancestors hate one another and occasionally cause trouble. On the surface, they call it a sparring match, but in reality, they just want to beat the other person up. So an ancestor will be injured, and then the king will ask us all to go over and punish them. He will punish all the ancestors, and some ancestors will hate the ancestor who caused trouble." Pani answered.
Fan Liye was strolling in the backyard holding Fan Jie'en. Pani was called over again. He said that everyone would be punished, but when they came back, no injuries were seen. Fan Liye did not ask what the specific punishment was.
Fan Jien looked at Fan Liye and was a little surprised: "Master, your face..."
"What's wrong with my face?" Fan Liye touched his face and didn't feel anything wrong.
"Does the master drink human blood?" asked Van Gene.
Fan Liye shook his head, and Fan Jinn said, "The mark on the master's face has disappeared."
Disappeared…?
After arriving at Pani's residence, he hadn't even come into contact with humans. Why did the mark disappear? He had never even seen the blood servants Pani kept. What was going on?
"Young man, I've been looking for you for a long time." Pani's voice came.
Fan Liye turned around and looked at Pani. Pani was stunned for a moment, then smiled and walked towards Fan Liye: "Are you hungry, young master? You actually suck human blood."
“…I didn’t.” Fan Liye said.
"That's strange." Pani believed Fan Liye's words without even a moment's hesitation. "A vampire with a mark won't get rid of the mark unless they drink human blood, unless..."
Pani's expression instantly darkened. He asked, "Did anyone give you a blood transfusion? How dare they do that without my consent...was it your will?"
Fan Liye didn't know what blood transfusion was among his vampire clan, so he asked, "What is blood transfusion?"
"A blood exchange involves a vampire with a high blood concentration giving blood to a vampire with a low blood concentration to increase the concentration. They bite the neck to transfer the blood to the other vampire, purifying it with their own blood. The degree to which the blood purity can be increased depends on the other vampire's blood concentration and the extent of the blood exchange," Pani said. "However, blood exchange has a limited ability to purify blood. As the original ancestor, even if I give you a full blood exchange, I can only make you a pureblood. For other vampires, the highest I can make is a mixed-blood."
"So..." Pani lowered her voice, reached out and grabbed Fan Liye's wrist, and gently touched it to her lips, "Who touched the young master when I was away?"
Fan Liye didn't answer directly, but asked: "Blood transfusion is very important to the vampire race? Is it necessary for you to do this?"
Pani smiled and said solemnly, "For a vampire, a blood transfusion signifies that the other person is theirs, a member of their vampire clan. Blood follows the other person, just like if I assimilate you, you will become dependent on me. A blood transfusion will intensify this bond."
"..." Fan Liye suddenly thought of what Pani had said before, that he would change his blood into a pureblood, wouldn't that mean he would completely become his own?
Seeing Fan Liye remained silent, Paniwei said anxiously, "Young Master has been staying at my residence. The blood purity of other vampires is not as high as mine. Why did you choose another vampire? Is it Bartholomew? Or another pureblood?"
Fan Liye glanced at Pani, who was holding onto his hand. She seemed afraid he'd leave, so she kept holding onto it. Her tone was anxious, but not at all reprimanding. Her voice was much deeper, but she was simply expressing her dissatisfaction.
Why would he do this to a work of art?
Don't you treat him as an object?
"Pani, can you please let go of your hand?" Before Fan Liye could say anything, Fan Jinn spoke first, "What qualifications do you have to question my master?"
Hearing this, Pani was a little stunned. What Fan Jin said was just what Pani had done before. As the one who forced Fan Liye to assimilate, he really had no right to ask who Fan Liye chose.
Pani released Fan Liye's wrist and lowered her head slightly, her eyes filled with disappointment, looking extremely pitiful. Seeing Pani like this, Fan Liye felt a little sorry for her. It was true that Pani had assimilated him, it was true that she had betrayed him, but it was also true that she had saved him. If it weren't for Pani, he would probably have died among the starving people, died at the hands of Chris, died at the hands of Benjamin.
Fan Liye sighed. He couldn't completely hate Pani, nor could he forgive him. Once he became strong enough to confront the Vampire King, he would stay away from Pani and would no longer have anything to do with him.
"Since the young master has chosen this..." Pani's voice came, "I will make him recognize his identity and let him know that he has no right to give you any orders or contact you."
"..." Fan Liye heard Pani's uncomfortable tone and finally said, "There was no blood transfusion. I don't know why the mark disappeared."
Perhaps, I can ask the young master about this later.
Seeing Fan Liye's explanation, Fan Jin quickly said, "He was just pretending to be pitiful and taking advantage of his master's soft heart! Damn it, Pani, as an ancestor, how could you use such a trick."
Pani still believed Fan Liye's words without hesitation. No matter how outrageous it was for a vampire, he still chose to believe it. His eyes lit up instantly, and he raised his head, ignoring Fan Jin's words, and said in surprise, "That's very strange. It's not drinking human blood or a blood transfusion, so there is no other possibility. The young master is indeed special. I will ask other vampires about this matter."
"There's no need for this." Fan Liye said, "My injury is almost healed. What are you going to do?"
"After you recover from your injuries, you can train with Bartholomew. I'll be watching from the side to prevent any unexpected incidents." Pani replied quickly. "Although Bartholomew is a pureblood, his strength is much higher than that of a half-blood. As a newborn vampire, you still need to be careful."
Fan Liye nodded, and Pani continued, "Don't worry, young sir. I will watch the whole process and will not give Bartholomew any chance to hurt you."
"..." Fan Liye was somewhat helpless. "Since it's training, it's normal to get injured. Besides, he and I are both vampires, and we can heal ourselves if injured. His ability won't do anything to me."
"Even though that's the case, it hurts you, and it hurts." Pani said, "Young Master may not be afraid of pain, but I want to minimize the number of times you feel pain."
Pani's tone was so sincere that Fan Liye didn't know what to say for a moment. Fan Jin answered for him: "You are so hypocritical. You said that now, but you caused the master a lot of pain before."
After Fan Liye was assimilated, Fan Jie'en saw it all. During those countless days and nights, Fan Liye's struggle and pain made it impossible for him to speak properly to Pani. He just wished he could kill Pani directly.
Pani knew he was in the wrong and didn't refute Fan Jin's words. After all, what he had done was unforgivable. At present, Pani did not regret his actions at that time. At least now he could still get along with Fan Liye like this, which was enough.
