“It’s not that simple.” Wang Ci put away his smile and looked at his daughter, who was tied to the wall with vines. “You can choose not to be with Situ You, but you can’t choose not to be with a pureblood vampire. You know your identity and you know the rules of the Senate. Pureblood is extremely precious to the vampires. The Senate cannot allow you to be with anyone other than a pureblood.”
Vampire hunters are regulated and controlled by the Hunter Association, while vampires are managed and controlled by the Senate.
Generally speaking, the Senate does not interfere in family affairs. Their role is twofold: firstly, to work with the Hunter Association to achieve a balance in the relationship between humans and vampires; and secondly, to maintain the legitimacy of pure-blood families.
Purebloods are becoming increasingly rare among vampires. It's like when only two identical animals remain in the world, artificial intervention might be used to force them to combine and produce offspring.
Feng Guang's heart pounded. "Do we...do we really have to obey the Senate's decision?"
“You didn’t like getting involved in this kind of thing before, and I couldn’t be bothered with it, but now you have to know that if the Senate gives the order, our Xia family will become the enemy of the vampires. Even if your father and I want to protect you, we can’t fight against so many people at the same time. In the end, you will be taken away by them to be tried.” Wang Ci frowned his handsome brows. “I remember I once told you that if someone is found guilty in court, their heart will be ripped out. Feng Guang, you are my only child. I can’t watch something happen to you.”
"I……"
“So,” Wang Ci interrupted her, reverting to her strong-woman demeanor, “today I’m definitely going to strip you naked and see for myself!”
"Wait, wait!" At Feng Guang's shout, the green vines began to move, as if they had come to life, and started to tear off her clothes.
Before Fengguang's clothes were completely stripped off, the vines stopped because the buttons on her collar were undone, and on her fair skin, both the red hickeys and the black rose were particularly eye-catching.
Her clothes weren't stripped off, but her secret was discovered. She was momentarily basking in the limelight, unsure whether to feel fortunate or to weep.
The vines quickly withdrew, and Fengguang sat down on the ground with a "thud." When she looked up, she saw her mother's icy face.
She thought to herself, "I'm doomed."
Wang Ci strode to her side, grabbed Feng Guang's wrist and helped her stand up. Then, she incredulously pulled Feng Guang's collar open a little more. After looking for a long time and confirming that she wasn't mistaken, she asked in a frightened voice, "Feng Guang, tell me, which man is it?"
Wang Ci's reaction wasn't anger, but terror. Feng Guang stared blankly for a long, long time. "Mom... what are you afraid of?"
"You don't know...no, it's better that you don't know." Wang Ci suddenly calmed down, and whispered in a panicked tone, "That person...that person shouldn't be someone you know..."
A sense of panic welled up in Feng Guang's heart. "What exactly are you talking about?"
“Feng Guang, listen to me carefully.” Wang Ci suddenly said coldly, “No matter who that man is, I will not allow you to see him again. I will apply to the Senate to say that you are unwell and need to take a leave of absence from your studies in Osiris for a period of time.”
